- 0:00Speaker 1: The talk station five O five A fifty five k
- 0:14Speaker 1: r C, the talk station eating Still Mageddon, something.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Will Winter is coming.
- 0:38Speaker 1: I asked Joe for the show started. I said, you're
- 0:40Speaker 1: gonna get out the guy. I got the bread and milk.
- 0:43Speaker 1: Sound body goes not got a different one? You know,
- 0:45Speaker 1: winter is coming. I saw an article in New York
- 0:48Speaker 1: Post this morning, empty store shelves from all over the
- 0:52Speaker 1: swath of the country that's going to be hit by
- 0:54Speaker 1: the impending snowstorm. Everybody just looting the stores for all
- 0:58Speaker 1: the bread and milk the stores have stocked. They are
- 1:01Speaker 1: expecting some significant snow about eight inches here in the
- 1:05Speaker 1: greater Cincinnati area. To the north maybe six and to
- 1:08Speaker 1: the south a little bit more about ten inches, phrasing
- 1:12Speaker 1: Joseph Owen, Grand Pendleton Bracken in Kentucky. Folks are looking
- 1:18Speaker 1: at about ten so anyway, Yeah, hurry up and get
- 1:22Speaker 1: to the grocery store and get your bread and milk
- 1:26Speaker 1: anyway while it's still there. Very happy Friday Eve to you.
- 1:30Speaker 1: I always welcome phone calls and I would love to
- 1:32Speaker 1: hear from you. Five point three seven four nine fifty
- 1:34Speaker 1: five eight hundred eighty two to three Taco with top
- 1:36Speaker 1: five fifty on AT and T phone kind of confused
- 1:38Speaker 1: about where to go today. I think I can boil
- 1:40Speaker 1: down the whole Greenland thing. We're not going to war
- 1:43Speaker 1: for over Greenland, and Trump has negotiated some sort of deal.
- 1:46Speaker 1: We don't know the details of it yet, but everyone
- 1:50Speaker 1: seems to have sort of gone to a neutral corner
- 1:52Speaker 1: and cooler heads are prevailing. And the market reacted yesterday
- 1:56Speaker 1: by going back up again in the wake of the
- 1:58Speaker 1: news that we were going to invade Greenland. That's not happening.
- 2:02Speaker 1: I don't know that the trip was necessarily important. Over
- 2:06Speaker 1: the road was necessarily important to go down for Donald Trump.
- 2:09Speaker 1: A lot of people pushing back at a lot of
- 2:11Speaker 1: Americans not real thrilled with the idea of a military
- 2:14Speaker 1: takeover at Greenland. You put me in that camp. I
- 2:18Speaker 1: know how strategic the land mass is. But you know,
- 2:21Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of things at play here, relationships,
- 2:26Speaker 1: long standing ones, you know, the future global world order.
- 2:31Speaker 1: The obvious weird point about this whole thing is we
- 2:34Speaker 1: got a military base there, and apparently a cord to
- 2:36Speaker 1: the treaty that allowed us to have that base there.
- 2:37Speaker 1: I think it was started in nineteen fifty one, we
- 2:40Speaker 1: could build on it. Apparently we could do whatever the
- 2:43Speaker 1: hell we want with Greenland. I may be overstating that
- 2:47Speaker 1: a little bit, but the actual ownership of the property,
- 2:52Speaker 1: I don't know that we needed to disrupt that. But
- 2:53Speaker 1: in any of that, it seems to have all gone swimmingly.
- 2:56Speaker 1: And Trump pulled no punches over in Davos, and he's
- 3:00Speaker 1: having a real go at them, just giving him my
- 3:02Speaker 1: full ear given the European Union generally speaking, a full earful,
- 3:04Speaker 1: most notably about the crazy immigration policy they're dealing with,
- 3:08Speaker 1: and of course one that we're dealing with a little
- 3:10Speaker 1: bit more effectively under the Trump administration. I would argue
- 3:12Speaker 1: that the Biden administration, which obviously got the globalist memo
- 3:16Speaker 1: that we need to water down our culture and water
- 3:20Speaker 1: down all things that make us uniquely American and ergo
- 3:23Speaker 1: uniquely prosperous in this well crazy world we live in,
- 3:29Speaker 1: need to protect that. It was kind of an interesting
- 3:32Speaker 1: thing along those lines. Somali born activists. I get some
- 3:38Speaker 1: comments from her, and boy, look, she's Somali, She's a
- 3:43Speaker 1: woman of color. Can she make statements like this without
- 3:47Speaker 1: being called a racist? Hey, Joe, can a black Somalian,
- 3:51Speaker 1: a former Somalian woman who grew up and had experienced
- 3:56Speaker 1: a severe repression, genital mutilation, among other really horrific tragedies
- 4:03Speaker 1: in her life, and got out of Somali only to
- 4:06Speaker 1: become a critic of Somali and all things Similian. Can
- 4:09Speaker 1: she be called a racist for that? Yes?
- 4:12Speaker 2: Oh?
- 4:12Speaker 1: Okay? Huh? Is that like that Dave Chappelle Black Klansman skit?
- 4:22Speaker 1: You remember that one? Yeah? Anyhow, maybe your comments on
- 4:28Speaker 1: that one five three seven four two three talk on
- 4:31Speaker 1: five fifty on AT and T phones. So we'll get
- 4:35Speaker 1: to hurt in the moment here. But coming up with
- 4:36Speaker 1: the fifty five Krsey Morning Show, Congressman Warren Davidson seven
- 4:39Speaker 1: oh five with the Congressman, will the government shut down?
- 4:42Speaker 1: On January thirtieth, We're still waiting around for the Epstein files.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Bill and Hillary Clinton trying to finagle themselves out of
- 4:49Speaker 1: a contempt finding. You know what puzzles me about that.
- 4:53Speaker 1: I know that you know that the subpoeno wasition Bill
- 4:55Speaker 1: Hillary Clint. They're supposed to come in and testify. They
- 4:56Speaker 1: refuse to testify, so they're gonna be held in contempt.
- 4:59Speaker 1: And they had a the other day, holding them in
- 5:01Speaker 1: contempt came out of committee. Whether the whole House votes
- 5:03Speaker 1: find him in contempt remains me seen, But I guess
- 5:05Speaker 1: I'm puzzled by the timing on I think they should
- 5:08Speaker 1: be subpoena. If they are subpoena, like you or I
- 5:10Speaker 1: got to go in and testify, have it under transcript
- 5:13Speaker 1: all that. No, we're not doing it behind closed doors.
- 5:15Speaker 1: We're going to do it in a full room with
- 5:17Speaker 1: everybody witnessing and a transcript being that. Fine, have we
- 5:21Speaker 1: gotten all the Epstein files yet? He asked out loud,
- 5:23Speaker 1: knowing the full answer. The question is no, How can
- 5:26Speaker 1: you properly depose? This is coming from a lawyer's perspective,
- 5:29Speaker 1: but anybody can come up with this perspective. It doesn't
- 5:30Speaker 1: require any measure of knowledge of the law. But if
- 5:34Speaker 1: you're going to depose someone over their involvement with some individual,
- 5:38Speaker 1: and there's a whole ton of documents in the background,
- 5:40Speaker 1: and apparently no one at least in the American public
- 5:43Speaker 1: has ever seen before, wouldn't you want those documents maybe
- 5:46Speaker 1: have a look at them before you bring in someone
- 5:49Speaker 1: to testify on the subject matter that may very well
- 5:52Speaker 1: be included in those documents. Yes, the answer is yes.
- 5:56Speaker 1: So I don't understand the rush, but you know who
- 5:59Speaker 1: am I? But you know? Back to Congressman Davidson, where
- 6:03Speaker 1: are the damn documents? And finally he filing in to
- 6:07Speaker 1: represent the eighth district. Yes, And in parenthetical notes on
- 6:11Speaker 1: the fifty five K see morning show run down, Congressman
- 6:15Speaker 1: Warren Davidson. If you're out there listening, you already have
- 6:18Speaker 1: secured Drostrekkers vote one to nothing already, Joe says. Theoretically speaking,
- 6:25Speaker 1: LUs Joe, you figured out a way to actually cast
- 6:27Speaker 1: a vote in advance of the November election. I don't lie.
- 6:32Speaker 1: Listen if you're voting for Congressman Warren Davidson, I don't
- 6:34Speaker 1: care how you cast the vote. See, it's okay if
- 6:36Speaker 1: we on our side of the political ledger commit fraud,
- 6:39Speaker 1: but it's not okay for them, Right. That's the kind
- 6:42Speaker 1: of thinking the Democrats work through. They justify their own
- 6:45Speaker 1: fraud and abuse by saying, well, it's for us, Erico,
- 6:48Speaker 1: we have the moral high ground, and we're allowed to
- 6:51Speaker 1: break the law to advance our positions. Just don't let
- 6:53Speaker 1: those evil Orange Man people do it or whatever. Anyway,
- 6:58Speaker 1: what is this equal timer quest equal time because I
- 7:03Speaker 1: had who want Joe? It was a time when I
- 7:08Speaker 1: was off. So Kevin Gordon interviewed someone from Kentucky, and
- 7:13Speaker 1: now I have to give equal time. Okay, ah, I listen,
- 7:18Speaker 1: this is equal time. Look, Jimmy Kimmel's going to have
- 7:20Speaker 1: to have equal time. Apparently FCC's targeting these left wing
- 7:23Speaker 1: outlets for not giving equal time to GOP guests. Huh
- 7:28Speaker 1: how about that? I was kind of wondering about the
- 7:31Speaker 1: stretch of equal time. They announced yesterday they're providing guidance
- 7:34Speaker 1: to the three broadcast networks, the Big Three, to adhere
- 7:37Speaker 1: to the quote statutory equal opportunities requirement close quotes signing
- 7:42Speaker 1: the Communications Act in nineteen thirty four, including the airing
- 7:45Speaker 1: of late night and daytime talk shows. Under that section
- 7:48Speaker 1: of a broadcast station permits any legally qualified candidate for
- 7:52Speaker 1: public office to use its facilities. It shall that's a
- 7:56Speaker 1: shall word provide an equal opportunity to all other legally
- 8:01Speaker 1: qualified candidates for that office. Says There's been a long
- 8:06Speaker 1: standing bonified exception for news programming that wouldn't require equal
- 8:10Speaker 1: time for an opposition candidate, But the FCC now says
- 8:13Speaker 1: it has not been presented with any evidence that the
- 8:16Speaker 1: interview portion of any late night or daytime television show
- 8:20Speaker 1: program on the air presently would qualify for the bonafide
- 8:25Speaker 1: news exemption. Huh, well, that's an interesting development. We've always
- 8:30Speaker 1: honored equal time to the extend it applies to any
- 8:32Speaker 1: given candidate. Here on the Morning Show, nine times out
- 8:34Speaker 1: of ten we don't get a request. So what am
- 8:38Speaker 1: I rambling about the seven thirty guests joining the Morning show?
- 8:41Speaker 1: Congressman Andy Barr Kentucky sixth District running for US Senate
- 8:45Speaker 1: in Kentucky. I see the parenthetical written by my executive
- 8:51Speaker 1: producer Yirdle the Turtles old seat. No fan of Yurdle,
- 9:04Speaker 1: It's not Ram Pulsey, of course not. No one would
- 9:07Speaker 1: confuse Ran Paul with the ordol of the turtle. But
- 9:09Speaker 1: I think it goes without saying. We all know who
- 9:11Speaker 1: you mean when you wrote down Yurdl of the Turtle.
- 9:13Speaker 1: On my rundown eight oh five, Jim lewis building blocks
- 9:16Speaker 1: for Liberty Constitution boot camp going on this weekend in Dayton.
- 9:19Speaker 1: Jim lewis they'll join the program at eight oh five,
- 9:22Speaker 1: and of course it being Friday Eve yay. Finishing out
- 9:25Speaker 1: the morning show with iHeart media aviation expert Jay Ratliffe
- 9:28Speaker 1: with a huge list of topics. We'll see if I
- 9:30Speaker 1: can't add on to one, because I always throw them.
- 9:32Speaker 1: I try to always throw them a curveball. Anyhow is
- 9:39Speaker 1: I n Hersey Ali, a rasist, Trump, speaking of the
- 9:47Speaker 1: World Economic Forum in Davos yesterday, declared Western civilization must
- 9:51Speaker 1: defend itself from an existential attack. You know who said
- 9:56Speaker 1: Trump is right, Somali born activist author Ian Hersy Ali.
- 10:02Speaker 1: Look I see a picture of her. She's a woman
- 10:04Speaker 1: of color, and she's Somali.
- 10:10Speaker 3: Not the preferred nomenclature.
- 10:12Speaker 1: Let us see here, Trump said, described as shocking the
- 10:16Speaker 1: politicians and leaders that were gathered in Switzerland. The West
- 10:20Speaker 1: cannot mass import foreign cultures. Quote the situation in Minnesota
- 10:26Speaker 1: reminds us that the West cannot mass import foreign cultures
- 10:29Speaker 1: which have failed to ever build a successful society of
- 10:32Speaker 1: their own. We're talking at taking rather people from Somalia,
- 10:35Speaker 1: and Somali is a failed state. It's not a nation.
- 10:38Speaker 1: Got no government, got no police, got no military, got
- 10:41Speaker 1: no nothing. Explosion of prosperity and conclusion and progress that
- 10:46Speaker 1: built the West did not come from our tax cuts.
- 10:49Speaker 1: That ultimately came from our very special culture. This is
- 10:52Speaker 1: the precious inheritance that America and Europe have in common.
- 10:58Speaker 1: We share it. We have to keep strong, keep it strong.
- 11:01Speaker 1: We have to become strong or more successful, more prosperous
- 11:03Speaker 1: than ever. We have to defend that culture and rediscover
- 11:06Speaker 1: the spirit that lifted the West from the depth of
- 11:09Speaker 1: the dark ages to the pinnacle of human achievement. He's
- 11:14Speaker 1: kind of referring loosely to meritocracy and freedoms generally. Oh,
- 11:21Speaker 1: thank you, Keith. It was Clayton Bigsby Joe that was
- 11:25Speaker 1: the Chappelle character the Black Clans member Clayton. Thank you. Keith.
- 11:31Speaker 1: Pre sent me an email in response, is she racist?
- 11:35Speaker 1: Hersy Ali? Speaking of Fox News? I don't think it's
- 11:41Speaker 1: an important thing. I think it's the most important thing.
- 11:45Speaker 1: Trump is right, and I can't think of a better
- 11:48Speaker 1: and more powerful platform than that of the President of
- 11:51Speaker 1: the United States to say, hey, you guys, wake up. Huh.
- 11:57Speaker 1: I think every American and every Europeans should know that
- 12:00Speaker 1: what the President is trying to say is that what Maine,
- 12:03Speaker 1: America and Europe great is there is this unique is
- 12:06Speaker 1: there's this unique culture. If we don't understand that culture,
- 12:10Speaker 1: and if we do not defend it, we risk losing it.
- 12:16Speaker 1: The economy is very important, military is very important, all
- 12:19Speaker 1: these other aspects of government are extremely important. But more
- 12:22Speaker 1: important than all of that is our value system and
- 12:25Speaker 1: it's our heritage in our national identity. Regarding Trump's critique
- 12:31Speaker 1: of the Somali immigrant population's involvement in the Minnesota fraud scandal,
- 12:39Speaker 1: is she racist? Hersy Ali said, I wholeheartedly agree with
- 12:43Speaker 1: the president. The President is right when he says Somalia
- 12:48Speaker 1: hasn't even made it into a nation. Every attempt at
- 12:51Speaker 1: building something, making something out of Somalia has always failed
- 12:55Speaker 1: because of the clan code, little to see, because of Islam,
- 13:00Speaker 1: because of Marxism. We've had all the bad ideologies and
- 13:05Speaker 1: as Somalis, we've run away with them. Hm. She also
- 13:14Speaker 1: said the situation Minnesota exposes what she calls a subversive
- 13:18Speaker 1: agenda in the United States to transform it and to
- 13:23Speaker 1: islamize it or islamize it using American institutions. In the
- 13:28Speaker 1: American vocabulary of civil rights. Here you go. You see
- 13:35Speaker 1: that the Somalis exploit and extract the benefit system. This
- 13:40Speaker 1: is her words, they tell everyone, if you expose this
- 13:46Speaker 1: investigated object to it, stop it. You're a racist, you're
- 13:50Speaker 1: an islamophobe, you're a bigot. If we keep on doing
- 13:54Speaker 1: what we're doing, getting a huge numbers of people from
- 13:57Speaker 1: third world to come and establish themselves in the United
- 13:59Speaker 1: States in European countries and depend on welfare benefits, that is,
- 14:04Speaker 1: to take and take and never contribute, then we're setting
- 14:09Speaker 1: ourselves up not only for failure, we're committing a cultural
- 14:12Speaker 1: and national and political suicide. Hum Now, who can argue
- 14:21Speaker 1: with that. We've got to force them to either assimilate,
- 14:23Speaker 1: refer to the smadel communities, or we've got to give
- 14:25Speaker 1: them that choice and say, if you don't want to
- 14:29Speaker 1: assimilate into American society, then you will be denaturalized. This
- 14:34Speaker 1: isn't a joke, like, oh yeah, it's another day in politics.
- 14:38Speaker 1: It's existential. Hmm. She's also said, you know, JD. Vance
- 14:47Speaker 1: put it this way, it's not what we are fighting against,
- 14:54Speaker 1: but what are we fighting for? What are we fighting
- 14:57Speaker 1: to preserve? If you can't answer that question that, I
- 15:00Speaker 1: think you are lost, and the European leaders are lost,
- 15:05Speaker 1: and I think Keith Donald Trump trying to help them
- 15:08Speaker 1: find their way. Wow, does that make her racist? Joe
- 15:17Speaker 1: says very much so. Oh And notably, as a child
- 15:19Speaker 1: in Somalia, Fox News reporting that she was subjected to
- 15:22Speaker 1: a severe form of genital mutilation, fleeing the country later
- 15:26Speaker 1: in life to escape a forced marriage and serve as
- 15:29Speaker 1: a Dutch lawmaker now based in the United States, using
- 15:32Speaker 1: her platform to advocate for women's rights, not the preferred nomenclature,
- 15:39Speaker 1: critique Islam, and voice support for Western greatness having seen
- 15:44Speaker 1: the other side, comparing it to Western greatness. I guess
- 15:48Speaker 1: she has thoroughly concluded, having experienced the horrors of her
- 15:51Speaker 1: childhood there and seeing the failed realities of Somalia, that
- 15:56Speaker 1: it's a failed state, and know that it's not races
- 16:00Speaker 1: to criticize those that would come here take from us
- 16:07Speaker 1: not just welfare benefits, even if they're legitimately entitled to it,
- 16:12Speaker 1: but also engage in organized crime to steal from us
- 16:17Speaker 1: five twenty one, thirty five k C Detalk station Notably,
- 16:20Speaker 1: that could be any country in the world, filled with
- 16:22Speaker 1: any color person in the world. If it's a fouled state,
- 16:25Speaker 1: people are leaving it because it's a failed state. They
- 16:27Speaker 1: want to come here and they want to hook themselves
- 16:29Speaker 1: up to the midical Court of Government. We can all
- 16:30Speaker 1: be critical of its, notably if they entered our country
- 16:33Speaker 1: illegally and then went on to engage in criminal activity.
- 16:35Speaker 1: Stick around to me right back.

- 19:23Speaker 1: who are are struggling with any kind of major illness.
- 19:25Speaker 1: I don't feel like I'm deserving of an independent specific prayer,

- 19:45Speaker 5: and they had the Auditor General or the auditor of
- 19:48Speaker 5: the state of Montana on and about They talked to
- 19:52Speaker 5: him about the fraud that he was finding out in Montana,
- 19:55Speaker 5: and it was it was in the millions, not billions
- 19:58Speaker 5: like Ohio Andnnesota, and it was so refreshing to hear
- 20:02Speaker 5: the state auditors say, we're on it, we found it,
- 20:07Speaker 5: we shut it down, we're going after the bad guys,
- 20:11Speaker 5: and we've reached out to federal law enforcement because this
- 20:14Speaker 5: crossed the state line, so we're going after them no
- 20:17Speaker 5: matter where they're at that because it went down into California,
- 20:20Speaker 5: New Mexico and they were uncovering the whole chain, the
- 20:24Speaker 5: whole thing that was going on versus our auditor, Keith Faber,
- 20:29Speaker 5: who was on your program years ago, and his comment was,
- 20:34Speaker 5: it's hard, it's complicated.
- 20:36Speaker 6: There's eighty eight counties.
- 20:38Speaker 5: It looks like a whole lot of work, and I
- 20:41Speaker 5: would rather not And what I would tell listeners is
- 20:46Speaker 5: elections to have consequences, So don't just, you know, go
- 20:49Speaker 5: into the voting booth and pull the lever for somebody
- 20:52Speaker 5: like Keith Faber. He does not deserve to be put
- 20:54Speaker 5: back in there. I would say the same thing with
- 20:57Speaker 5: the Attorney General, Dave Yost and a whole lot of
- 21:00Speaker 5: other Republicans that haven't had a seated power that had
- 21:05Speaker 5: to have known what we know that this fraud has
- 21:08Speaker 5: been rampant in the state of Ohio. Again, we came
- 21:10Speaker 5: out last on the CMS last time that there was
- 21:13Speaker 5: the mandatory report came out by law, we were in
- 21:17Speaker 5: last place. So everybody just buckle up what we've been
- 21:20Speaker 5: talking about for years. I don't think Minnesota is going
- 21:23Speaker 5: to be the worst out there. I think likely based
- 21:26Speaker 5: on data, Ohio is going to be the worst out there.
- 21:30Speaker 1: Want to build me up there. I think based on
- 21:32Speaker 1: population numbers alone, plus the idea that California is run
- 21:35Speaker 1: exclusively by Democrats. And I know that's an overstatement, but
- 21:38Speaker 1: primarily I think California is going to be the worst
- 21:41Speaker 1: of the worst when it all comes out.
- 21:43Speaker 7: But you know it.
- 21:47Speaker 1: Online betting sites probably take a bet on that one.
- 21:50Speaker 5: Well, I think when I added up to numbers, Brian,
- 21:52Speaker 5: it was Ohio equaled California, New York and a third
- 21:57Speaker 5: state combined on improper payment rates. The last time we
- 22:01Speaker 5: got to look at the mandatory report that by law,
- 22:04Speaker 5: the CMS is supposed to generate.
- 22:06Speaker 1: All I can say is, hmm, how do they know
- 22:13Speaker 1: what is basically fraudulent? I mean, how are they able
- 22:16Speaker 1: to call up that number if they haven't done the
- 22:17Speaker 1: basic underlying auditing work you referred to earlier. Oh my god,
- 22:20Speaker 1: we have eighty eight kennies. It's too complicated to do.
- 22:22Speaker 1: How does someone arrive at any given figure based upon
- 22:26Speaker 1: well or without actual hard data.
- 22:29Speaker 6: Well, that's my point.
- 22:30Speaker 5: The federal government sent out a CMS, has the data
- 22:35Speaker 5: to resend out the report, and Obama told them stop
- 22:38Speaker 5: sending it out. Yeah, now, so, which means to your point,
- 22:42Speaker 5: if somebody knows how to calculate this, then we know
- 22:45Speaker 5: how much fraud has been hanging out there, and and
- 22:49Speaker 5: so why aren't we reacting to it? Because it's money there.
- 22:52Speaker 5: This is this is legalized theft of the state's states,
- 22:56Speaker 5: ripping off the federal government and Democrat and Republican a
- 22:59Speaker 5: law like Mike the Wine has been setting record breaking
- 23:03Speaker 5: budgets for the state of Ohio with the flat population
- 23:07Speaker 5: flat population and Medicaid has been growing thirty five percent
- 23:10Speaker 5: over the past five years with zero population growth.
- 23:13Speaker 6: How does that happen?
- 23:15Speaker 5: Because we're stealing from the coffers of the federal government
- 23:18Speaker 5: and people like the Wine thinks that so a okay
- 23:22Speaker 5: because that will fund his his stuff and things that
- 23:26Speaker 5: he wants to get done in his reelection campaign. But anyways,
- 23:30Speaker 5: it was refreshing to hear that that auditor in Montana
- 23:35Speaker 5: and how his response different from Keith Fabers. But I'll
- 23:38Speaker 5: say this in closing is continue to pray for brain,
- 23:43Speaker 5: don't vote Democrat, and don't vote rhino. I really think
- 23:46Speaker 5: the rhinos are the more dangerous than the Democrats. We
- 23:51Speaker 5: know what Democrats are, we still haven't learned what rhinos are.
- 23:54Speaker 1: They tell you what they're going to do out loud,
- 23:55Speaker 1: and we can reject their politics out of hand because
- 23:58Speaker 1: we don't agree with what they're saying out loud. It's
- 24:01Speaker 1: the rhinos of the problem because they'll abscribe to you know,
- 24:04Speaker 1: supporting a Republican Party platform or at least fiscal responsibility,
- 24:07Speaker 1: limited government, free market, and then go around and of
- 24:10Speaker 1: course take advantage of federal tax money that has easily
- 24:14Speaker 1: taken advantage of I'll grant you that they hide their well,
- 24:20Speaker 1: I guess duplicity. Anyhow, appreciate the call, Jay as always,
- 24:24Speaker 1: and I don't buy the idea that we can't ferret
- 24:27Speaker 1: out this fraud, waste and abuse. We owe it to
- 24:29Speaker 1: the federal government. You owe to the American taxpayers to
- 24:33Speaker 1: not waste the money, to not allow for fraud. And
- 24:36Speaker 1: with artificial intelligence entering the equation and pretty much everywhere,
- 24:41Speaker 1: I find it hard to believe that it's that difficult
- 24:43Speaker 1: to track the data from eighty eight individual counties. Oh,
- 24:46Speaker 1: come on, give me a break, Tom, Hang on your
- 24:48Speaker 1: next five to thirty six right now five kr C
- 24:50Speaker 1: Detalk station fifty five KRC. It's five forty if if
- 24:57Speaker 1: you have CARCD Talk Nation five one three two three
- 25:03Speaker 1: talk Power Fight fifty on AT and T phones. Tom,
- 25:06Speaker 1: thanks for waiting holding over the break there Jay got
- 25:08Speaker 1: in front of you. Is you always take them in
- 25:09Speaker 1: the order in which they received. Welcome back to my friend.
- 25:12Speaker 4: Hey, no problem, as you have said that I don't
- 25:15Speaker 4: own that spot. Uh, I just I usually call in
- 25:19Speaker 4: before everybody else, so no big deal. I like hearing
- 25:22Speaker 4: Joe's or Jay's call. And I like Joe too.
- 25:25Speaker 6: He's all right, and he's he's decent.
- 25:28Speaker 1: It's okay. We put up with them around here.
- 25:32Speaker 4: Joe, Joe keeps it going, Bud Joe's on fire today,
- 25:35Speaker 4: or to with that with that phrasing button. So what
- 25:39Speaker 4: what gets me is how all these cultures around the
- 25:43Speaker 4: world bad mouth the United States. They they bash us
- 25:48Speaker 4: as we're so terrible, We're so horrible, you know. Uh,
- 25:51Speaker 4: And yet all these people from these cultures want to
- 25:54Speaker 4: come over here and get all of our money. That's
- 25:58Speaker 4: and as we've said, that's what it's all boils down.
- 26:00Speaker 4: It's all about the money, and people are are forgetting
- 26:05Speaker 4: how we became rich and prosperous. We didn't do it
- 26:09Speaker 4: by stealing from one another. We didn't do it by
- 26:13Speaker 4: the way other cultures run their business. Like the lady
- 26:15Speaker 4: from Somalia is making very clear, we didn't do it
- 26:19Speaker 4: that way. But they want to come in and they, oh,
- 26:21Speaker 4: look at all that money over there.
- 26:22Speaker 6: We want to get it.
- 26:23Speaker 4: Yeah, well it's not yours, but of course they it
- 26:27Speaker 4: all boils down to they convince the voters that they're
- 26:31Speaker 4: so righteous and their cause is so great, and the
- 26:35Speaker 4: voters and enough of them are gullible to buy into
- 26:38Speaker 4: it and believe it.
- 26:39Speaker 1: No, they're just I think that's less. It's less gullibility
- 26:42Speaker 1: and more the left wing justification for stealing from other
- 26:46Speaker 1: people's earnings. And they justify that because they feed on
- 26:50Speaker 1: this culture of envy and and uh covetousness that many
- 26:56Speaker 1: of us are involved with. You know, somebody else's got
- 26:59Speaker 1: how did they get him? That's not fair?
- 27:01Speaker 3: You know.
- 27:01Speaker 1: I remember was a little kid walking around and you know,
- 27:04Speaker 1: be on vacation and see these huge houses on the beasts, Like,
- 27:07Speaker 1: oh my god, I love that live in one of those.
- 27:09Speaker 1: You know, I didn't think it was unfair that someone
- 27:12Speaker 1: had that massive house. And as an adult, I think
- 27:15Speaker 1: I would never ever buy a house on the damn
- 27:18Speaker 1: ocean because it might get subjected to a hurricane or something.
- 27:21Speaker 1: That'd be a dumb place to move. Can I get
- 27:23Speaker 1: insurance on it?
- 27:24Speaker 6: You know?
- 27:24Speaker 1: It don't even want a place that big. It changed
- 27:26Speaker 1: out throughout life, but enough time did I ever think
- 27:28Speaker 1: that it was justified that it could take something from
- 27:31Speaker 1: someone that Piculin's got it out of money. They should
- 27:33Speaker 1: be had. What is like inheritance tax. You're gonna get
- 27:35Speaker 1: me off on a tear here, Tom inherent staff. Just
- 27:38Speaker 1: because you die gives the government a justification to take
- 27:41Speaker 1: from you, really, right?
- 27:43Speaker 4: Why agreed, and the reason why you believe that way, Brian,
- 27:47Speaker 4: is because your mother and your father trained you that way.
- 27:50Speaker 4: They taught you the right way to think. When we
- 27:53Speaker 4: look at what other people have and we look at wow,
- 27:55Speaker 4: I'd like to have that. That is supposed to be
- 27:57Speaker 4: incentive for you to work harder, right, you know, not
- 28:01Speaker 4: figure out a way to steal it from them. That's right,
- 28:03Speaker 4: That's ridiculous.
- 28:05Speaker 1: That's in school fear of being poor and not being
- 28:09Speaker 1: able to take care of myself. I was not guaranteed
- 28:12Speaker 1: this job. I had a practice law for eighteen years
- 28:15Speaker 1: before anybody offered me this job. You know, Dad wasn't
- 28:19Speaker 1: going to leave me a companycy company or legacy. I
- 28:22Speaker 1: grew up with a lot of friends who felt like
- 28:24Speaker 1: they had had the golden ring. You know what didn't
- 28:26Speaker 1: work out for him? The parents sold the family business
- 28:29Speaker 1: or it went under. It didn't work out, Plans didn't
- 28:31Speaker 1: go accordingly, I had nothing like that to even think
- 28:35Speaker 1: I could hang my hat on it. You better be
- 28:37Speaker 1: able to defend yourself and work for yourself and think
- 28:39Speaker 1: for yourself, Thomas, or you're gonna end up impoverished. That
- 28:44Speaker 1: was scary, and that reality is set in on me
- 28:46Speaker 1: at a very young age, and.
- 28:48Speaker 4: Not enough people are being taught that. And the Democrat
- 28:51Speaker 4: Party is full bore into giving people excuses on to
- 28:56Speaker 4: why they shouldn't have to try harder. And it's absolutely ridiculous.
- 29:00Speaker 4: They are not only letting people steal their their INCENTIVI
- 29:03Speaker 4: couraging it, encouraging it. So don't vote Democrat. Have a
- 29:07Speaker 4: great day, Bryan, Thank you, Tom.
- 29:09Speaker 1: It was rather cathartic getting that out of my system again.
- 29:12Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 29:12Speaker 1: Five forty five and five KRC the talk station don't
- 29:15Speaker 1: go away, some stupid or phone calls. Either way we go.
- 29:18Speaker 1: The phone calls may be stupid, I don't mind. Five
- 29:22Speaker 1: fifty fifty five kr CD talk station ready eve for
- 29:26Speaker 1: Congressman war and Davidson at seven oh five equal time
- 29:28Speaker 1: requests granted to Congressman Andy Barr. Guess Kevin Gordon had
- 29:33Speaker 1: Dan Cameron on, so uh, Andy Barr is challenging or
- 29:36Speaker 1: running for the primary I guess and he I guess
- 29:38Speaker 1: asserts that he's better than Dan Cameron asking him questions
- 29:41Speaker 1: at seven thirty, honoring those legitimate equal time requests on
- 29:44Speaker 1: the Morning Show, Jim Lewis Building Blocks for Liberties Jim
- 29:46Speaker 1: Blewis Jim Lewis Constitution boot Camp this weekend in Dayton.
- 29:50Speaker 1: Opportunity for young folks, maybe even older folks, to learn
- 29:53Speaker 1: fundamentals of the Constitution. I heard beat the aviation expert
- 29:56Speaker 1: Jay Ratleff at eight thirty sans phone calls which we
- 29:59Speaker 1: are let's go to the local store or let's go
- 30:01Speaker 1: to the stack and stupid start. In Phoenix, got a
- 30:05Speaker 1: dead guy a dead man after he attempted to confront
- 30:08Speaker 1: another guy about cutting the bathroom line at a Phoenix
- 30:13Speaker 1: area gas station. Fifty two year old Danny Caster died
- 30:17Speaker 1: after being shot January sixteenth, person pulling the trigger, DeAndre Franklin,
- 30:22Speaker 1: twenty five, taking into custody. Slordy said the shooting occurred
- 30:25Speaker 1: about eight am at the Quick Trip store on forty
- 30:28Speaker 1: fourth Please said a riot found Castor lying on the
- 30:31Speaker 1: floor outside the men's bathroom. Taken to the hospital. He died.
- 30:35Speaker 1: Castor shot multiple times in the face, shoulder, and leg.
- 30:40Speaker 1: Witness said he was inside the bathroom waiting in line
- 30:42Speaker 1: for a stall when the confrontation occurred. I know, I know,
- 30:48Speaker 1: Courting Court documents. Witness reported seeing Castor get into the
- 30:51Speaker 1: bathroom line, only to have Franklin bypass it and pull
- 30:55Speaker 1: on the door handles. Castor told Franklin there was a line.
- 30:58Speaker 1: Franklin reportedly responded that he knew that. However, hostility ensued
- 31:04Speaker 1: when Franklin asked Castor, what the expletive are you looking at?
- 31:11Speaker 1: What court of the court documents. Two men began arguing
- 31:13Speaker 1: in the bathroom when Franklin told Castor they should take
- 31:16Speaker 1: it outside. Both walked out. Moments later, a witness who
- 31:19Speaker 1: was still in the bathroom heard gunshots coming from outside
- 31:22Speaker 1: the men's room door. Idiots doing idiot things because their
- 31:26Speaker 1: idios full accord with you on that, Joe. Another witness
- 31:28Speaker 1: told authorities he was waiting for his wife when he
- 31:30Speaker 1: saw Franklin holding a gun at Castor attempting to grab it.
- 31:33Speaker 1: Witness heard two or three more gun shots and attempted
- 31:36Speaker 1: to help cast Her once he realized he was injured.
- 31:38Speaker 1: Witnesses saw Franklin leave the store get into a gray
- 31:40Speaker 1: sedan with a woman and leave. Detailed surveillance video, cord
- 31:44Speaker 1: to the court document, show Franklin pointing a gun at
- 31:46Speaker 1: Castor and firing multiple times, causing him to collapse. Franklin
- 31:49Speaker 1: then ran out of the gas station. I guess they
- 31:52Speaker 1: have all the hard evidence they need Joe. After shooting,
- 31:55Speaker 1: police said, Franklin called his mom and stepfather, telling him
- 31:58Speaker 1: that he got in an argument and shot some one
- 32:00Speaker 1: inside the quick trip. Mother tore him to turn himself in,
- 32:04Speaker 1: so he did. The Next day, Franklin said he was homeless,
- 32:07Speaker 1: went to the gas station to use the bathroom, said
- 32:09Speaker 1: he didn't see the WISM line for the stalls and
- 32:12Speaker 1: was gonna go to the back of the line once
- 32:13Speaker 1: Castor told him. However, Franklin said that he noticed Castor
- 32:17Speaker 1: was staring at him and claimed Castor became hostile. Oh
- 32:25Speaker 1: was he disrespecting him?
- 32:27Speaker 3: Joe?
- 32:27Speaker 1: Is that one of these disrespecting me? Kind of stupid murders?
- 32:32Speaker 1: And I hate that you just respecting me? Oh? Shut up? Anyway,
- 32:40Speaker 1: As he walked out of the bathroom, Franklin claimed he
- 32:42Speaker 1: saw Castor following him, fired twice, in his words, to
- 32:45Speaker 1: defend himself. Reportedly said he was scared and didn't know
- 32:48Speaker 1: what to do. Whatever limp okay, where's the beef in
- 33:01Speaker 1: Someone's pants? Adventure? Florida surveillance video obtained by local news
- 33:05Speaker 1: So they should have beef thief stuffing steak and brisket
- 33:10Speaker 1: down his pants in the South Florida supermarket Kosher Kingdom.
- 33:14Speaker 1: Side of the event, store's owner wants to find the suspect.
- 33:18Speaker 1: He says meat prices are continuing to go up. It's
- 33:20Speaker 1: not us that's it's not us that's raising, it's the
- 33:23Speaker 1: whole industry, said Phil Einhorn. Our margins are tiny phrasing,
- 33:30Speaker 1: not tiny. This guy's pants, they write. Einhorn said, they're big,
- 33:36Speaker 1: big pants. I think they're like fay for stealing. They're
- 33:41Speaker 1: blocked at the bottom so it doesn't go through. Is
- 33:44Speaker 1: that the kind of pants Joe Biden wore? Joe video
- 33:49Speaker 1: shows store employee walking by, then the suspects shoving nearly
- 33:52Speaker 1: one hundred dollars Cowboys steak in his pants. He also
- 33:54Speaker 1: stole some wine. Eventually gave the steak back. Einhoord said,
- 34:02Speaker 1: we were shocked. That's why when he gave it back
- 34:04Speaker 1: the one steak, I thought okay, I got it back,
- 34:06Speaker 1: but he stole. And then when we found out there
- 34:09Speaker 1: was this thing in his pants, it was unbelievable. It's
- 34:13Speaker 1: just like shocking. But there's all kinds of material in
- 34:17Speaker 1: this article for you, Joe. What more can I say?
- 34:23Speaker 1: Employees chased the suspect out of the store. According to Einhorn,
- 34:26Speaker 1: they ended up going across the street to the publics.
- 34:28Speaker 1: One of my employees was on break and he saw
- 34:30Speaker 1: the rest of the stuff that he had, brisket wine.
- 34:33Speaker 1: He called the cops and we got everything back. He
- 34:35Speaker 1: ran off after we got the stuff back, and by
- 34:37Speaker 1: the time the cops got here, he was gone. But
- 34:39Speaker 1: they have a good description. They have the video, and
- 34:42Speaker 1: I'm sure he's on foot somewhere.
- 34:47Speaker 5: Hum hum.
- 34:53Speaker 1: And then we found out there was this thing in
- 34:55Speaker 1: his pants. It was unbelievable. It's just like shocking.
- 35:00Speaker 8: Every day he's extremely small.
- 35:03Speaker 1: F R talk station they said, snow, I gotta get
- 35:09Speaker 1: the run about.
- 35:11Speaker 6: Like that.
- 35:14Speaker 1: White Death. Come a six or six here if you
- 35:19Speaker 1: have krs. The talk station had lots of snow over
- 35:23Speaker 1: the weekend, got that big storm watch shown up on
- 35:25Speaker 1: Saturday last and all the way through Sunday. Uh that
- 35:28Speaker 1: Dayton area is supposed to be about six inches and
- 35:31Speaker 1: south of the city about ten inches, they're saying, And
- 35:34Speaker 1: right here, stuck in the middle of the greatest Cincinnati
- 35:36Speaker 1: area gonna be about eight inches. Gonna do We're gonna
- 35:40Speaker 1: put what to the test? Shoe? Oh the new system.
- 35:47Speaker 6: Did?
- 35:47Speaker 1: Are you suggesting for a moment that maybe Mount Atoms
- 35:51Speaker 1: will get plowed? Oh? Don't laugh that hard, Joe, you
- 35:54Speaker 1: might he is doubled over right now. I have a
- 35:58Speaker 1: health episode in there with that. Five Thanks Dad, fifty
- 36:03Speaker 1: five hundred pound five fifty on AT and T phones
- 36:05Speaker 1: eight entity two three talk. I got a couple of
- 36:06Speaker 1: callors online order in which they received we'll get to Jeff. Jeff,
- 36:10Speaker 1: thanks for calling this morning. A very happy Thursday to you.
- 36:13Speaker 8: Hey, good morning, thanks for working. I was listening to
- 36:16Speaker 8: Tom and I was thinking to myself, does not the
- 36:21Speaker 8: Islamic religion have something akin to the Ten Commendments referencing, Okay,
- 36:27Speaker 8: these people grew up. You got to steal to get stuff,
- 36:30Speaker 8: as opposed to, hey, here's a novel idea, let's go,
- 36:33Speaker 8: let's get a real job.
- 36:35Speaker 1: No, I think Mark Martinism actually does have that whole
- 36:38Speaker 1: steel component built into it. But anyway, go ahead.
- 36:42Speaker 8: Well, my question is, does the Islamic religion have anything
- 36:47Speaker 8: akin to the Ten Commandments?
- 36:49Speaker 6: I mean.
- 36:51Speaker 1: No way knowing of that. I am not a theologian,
- 36:54Speaker 1: not even on a Christian level. I don't know. I
- 36:57Speaker 1: don't have any idea. I've never studied Islam. I've never
- 37:00Speaker 1: read the Koran. I have no interest in reading it.
- 37:03Speaker 1: Lots of reading material out there before I get to it.
- 37:06Speaker 1: So can't help you on that one.
- 37:07Speaker 8: I'd like to hope if you, i'd like to, you know,
- 37:10Speaker 8: somebody that knows a lot more than me, obviously wouldn't
- 37:13Speaker 8: be hard to do, would call in and pontificate on that,
- 37:18Speaker 8: because everything Tom was talking about. If you're, you know,
- 37:22Speaker 8: doing a comparison between meritocracy and whatever they live under,
- 37:30Speaker 8: if that's how they're taught, you know, I don't know.
- 37:33Speaker 8: So if John somebody on that's smarter, that'd be great.
- 37:36Speaker 1: Well okay, and here just let me make an observation.
- 37:38Speaker 1: I made this before. You know, when people clamor for
- 37:42Speaker 1: religion to be taught in schools, and that's not I'm
- 37:45Speaker 1: not advocating for that, and I never have because who
- 37:48Speaker 1: is going to be the person responsible for teaching any
- 37:51Speaker 1: given religion. A lot of my Christian friends like, we
- 37:53Speaker 1: need to be teaching the Ten Commandments, we need to
- 37:55Speaker 1: be okay, okay, who's going to be put in the
- 37:57Speaker 1: front of the room. Is going to be a snake handler,
- 37:59Speaker 1: is going to be Evangelical Christian, is going to be
- 38:01Speaker 1: a Catholic, is going to be a Protestant. I don't know.
- 38:04Speaker 1: There's like one hundred and forty different versions of Christianity,
- 38:07Speaker 1: each with their own sets of rules and doctrine and dogma,
- 38:11Speaker 1: all under the believe in Christ banner, but differing a
- 38:14Speaker 1: multitude of levels. Once you get down below that I
- 38:16Speaker 1: believe in Christ thing. Now, there may very well be
- 38:18Speaker 1: all of these different versions of Islam. Notably, there are
- 38:22Speaker 1: fundamentalist Islam believe that killing people are murdering in the
- 38:26Speaker 1: name of killing infidels is okay and approved and justified,
- 38:31Speaker 1: and you go up and get your seventy two versions.
- 38:33Speaker 1: That's their version of heaven. Some believe in that, at
- 38:35Speaker 1: least that's what I've read. I don't know anybody who
- 38:37Speaker 1: believes along those lines, but Lord knows, who've had enough
- 38:40Speaker 1: terrorist attacks in the name of Islam and Islamic fundamentalism,
- 38:44Speaker 1: going after the infidels to justify that at least that's
- 38:47Speaker 1: some subset of the broader Muslim community. Now I don't
- 38:50Speaker 1: believe it all and believing that Muslims typically tend to
- 38:54Speaker 1: live together and thrive and survive on their own. And
- 38:56Speaker 1: you know that's a okay. I'm not here to try
- 38:59Speaker 1: to convince anybody any given religion. You go ahead and
- 39:01Speaker 1: proselytize and advance your religious culture and then try to
- 39:04Speaker 1: convince people to come over to your side the ledger.
- 39:06Speaker 1: But ultimately, you're probably going to believe in something that's
- 39:11Speaker 1: different than the sum the same sort of something that
- 39:14Speaker 1: someone else believes in because they're in a different group
- 39:17Speaker 1: who has a different viewpoint of generally speaking, Mohammed and Islam.
- 39:22Speaker 1: So sounds like a big moving target, But then again,
- 39:24Speaker 1: when you're talking about religion, it usually is. So that's
- 39:29Speaker 1: all I can do on that one. I appreciate the question, though.
- 39:33Speaker 1: See what CJ's got.
- 39:34Speaker 7: CJ.
- 39:34Speaker 1: Welcome to the Morning Show. Very happy Thursday to you, Oh.
- 39:38Speaker 9: Happy Thursday to you as well. A couple of quick things,
- 39:41Speaker 9: you know, before I get into what I'm saying. You
- 39:43Speaker 9: gotta get gassed today even if you don't think you do,
- 39:46Speaker 9: go get it because it's going to go up a
- 39:47Speaker 9: ton because that weather next week looks nasty. But first
- 39:52Speaker 9: and foremost, I'm not the biggest guy with Trump. I
- 39:56Speaker 9: don't necessarily always trust Trump. But Virginia Democrats is week
- 40:00Speaker 9: I proved exactly why you should never vote Democrats. They
- 40:03Speaker 9: immediately went out and put propositions to tax everything under.
- 40:07Speaker 6: The sun, including the sun.
- 40:09Speaker 9: And then they go in and to use the old
- 40:12Speaker 9: gen X on californiaication. They decided to unemploy everybody with
- 40:17Speaker 9: all those taxes. But they're gonna make it a whole
- 40:19Speaker 9: lot easier to open up daycares because now you only
- 40:22Speaker 9: need to fill out like four or five questions in
- 40:25Speaker 9: order to open up a daycare in the state of Virginia.
- 40:28Speaker 6: If this new.
- 40:29Speaker 9: Bill passes, I'm telling you, these Democrats are wanting. They
- 40:32Speaker 9: are dangerous, not because they think they are smart. They're
- 40:37Speaker 9: just pure reckless and they are so caught up in
- 40:40Speaker 9: their ideology that they're willing to destroy anything and everything
- 40:43Speaker 9: along the way just to watch it burn.
- 40:47Speaker 1: Maybe. I know there's a lot of people on the
- 40:49Speaker 1: left that do want it to burn. Those are your
- 40:50Speaker 1: you know, the AOC types of the world that think
- 40:52Speaker 1: the United States is a vile, evil, irrideemable country born
- 40:56Speaker 1: of original sent therefore needs to be brought down. Other
- 40:59Speaker 1: Democrats are just you know, in this kleptocracy. They benefit
- 41:01Speaker 1: from it personally making millions and millions of dollars in
- 41:05Speaker 1: their nonprofit or as an elected official, sort of insider trading,
- 41:09Speaker 1: as we've seen happen time and time again. But I
- 41:11Speaker 1: guess I'm kind of want to going over to your
- 41:12Speaker 1: Virginia comment House Bill thirteen sixty nine maybe what you're
- 41:16Speaker 1: talking about. Virginia Democratic State Delegate Jessica Anderson, after all
- 41:21Speaker 1: of this fraud's been exposed, has presented a bill. No
- 41:25Speaker 1: state agency responsible for the administration of federal funds shall
- 41:30Speaker 1: impose a requirement on a nonprofit charitable organization providing federal
- 41:34Speaker 1: public benefits to determine, verify, or otherwise require proof of
- 41:39Speaker 1: eligibility to any applicant for such benefit. In other words,
- 41:43Speaker 1: you can't ask them if they're properly eligible. If this
- 41:46Speaker 1: thing goes through, I mean, I'm sorry, I want to
- 41:49Speaker 1: violate the SEC rules in terms of cursing here right now?
- 41:53Speaker 1: Are you blanking out of your mind? This is a
- 41:57Speaker 1: proposal from a Democrat elected official. We don't want you
- 42:01Speaker 1: to determine, verify, or require proof of eligibility. Are you
- 42:07Speaker 1: kidding me? Who says this quiet part out loud? It's
- 42:12Speaker 1: bad enough. We've got to ferret it out and do
- 42:14Speaker 1: investigations and Department of Justice investigations and low and bold,
- 42:18Speaker 1: we find out billions and billions of the work that
- 42:21Speaker 1: you did transformed into taxpayer revenue because they took it
- 42:26Speaker 1: out of your salary. We're taken from you and given
- 42:31Speaker 1: away to fraudsters. And they didn't lift the figer to
- 42:34Speaker 1: stop it. And the more and the more evidence grows
- 42:37Speaker 1: upon this, the more we realize it was facilitated. It
- 42:41Speaker 1: was this sort of wink wink, Yeah, we know what's
- 42:43Speaker 1: going on. We're not gonna do anything because it's got
- 42:45Speaker 1: one hundred thousand smallies here in Minneapolis are gonna cast
- 42:48Speaker 1: votes for us, so we don't want to disrupt their
- 42:51Speaker 1: financial lifeline. At least that's the way it seems to
- 42:54Speaker 1: be going. But if you see this and it is
- 42:57Speaker 1: on full display and they're finding you've heard in the
- 43:00Speaker 1: news more and more. Jay called about it earlier. We
- 43:02Speaker 1: got a problem in Ohio with fraud, wasted abuse. But
- 43:04Speaker 1: there's a problem everywhere when it comes to government money.
- 43:08Speaker 1: There's paycheck protection loans. Oh thank god for that. And
- 43:11Speaker 1: look at all the people who ripped off the federal
- 43:14Speaker 1: tax payers just because I guess there were no provisions
- 43:18Speaker 1: to avoid prevent fraud, wasted abuse and connection with that.
- 43:21Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's COVID. Throw some money at it.
- 43:25Speaker 1: Oh my god. Children know how to leer. We need
- 43:27Speaker 1: a leering center. Throw some money at it. Look, there's
- 43:30Speaker 1: an NGO right there. They're willing to do the work
- 43:33Speaker 1: for us. Hey, open a leering center. We'll throw some
- 43:35Speaker 1: money at it. They might check and see if somebody
- 43:38Speaker 1: was going in there. Turns out they weren't. Do you
- 43:45Speaker 1: have that massive level scandal. That's just one of a
- 43:50Speaker 1: growing number that we're going to find out about thanks
- 43:54Speaker 1: to the Trump administration. Evil orange man. You hate him
- 43:59Speaker 1: for that, my leftist friends, you hate Donald Trump so much.
- 44:03Speaker 1: And if you have a job, let's qualify that. And
- 44:06Speaker 1: if you are paying federal taxpayer dollars, which I can
- 44:09Speaker 1: only assume you are, if you're working, you have a
- 44:13Speaker 1: problem with going after fraud, waste and abuse. You got
- 44:15Speaker 1: to stand there and yell at me, Brian Thomas and
- 44:17Speaker 1: call me a racist because it just happens to be.
- 44:20Speaker 1: It's within the Somalian community of Minnesota. But take out
- 44:24Speaker 1: the Somalian reference and put it in any other collective
- 44:28Speaker 1: group of people who are ripping the government off, regardless
- 44:31Speaker 1: of what color their skins or where they came from.
- 44:34Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. It's stealing. Don't try to trigger me
- 44:40Speaker 1: or make me cowork because you want to scream racism
- 44:43Speaker 1: or something. That's a comical and really really stupid argument.
- 44:47Speaker 1: That's why I read what that Somali born activist said
- 44:49Speaker 1: about Trump. He's right, we need to prevent this from happening.
- 44:55Speaker 1: Does that make her Somali born, generally mutilated, almost forced
- 45:00Speaker 1: into marriage, now activist, having fled the terror and just
- 45:05Speaker 1: awful realities of Somalia, she's allowed to criticize her former country.
- 45:11Speaker 1: Does that make her racist? Go ahead say it. I
- 45:15Speaker 1: could use another good laugh this morning. Crazy Hang on
- 45:23Speaker 1: Corey six sixteen fifty five krc DE talk station. Not
- 45:26Speaker 1: crazy taking care of six twenty two fifty five KRCIT
- 45:30Speaker 1: talk station. Going straight to the phone. It's got a
- 45:31Speaker 1: couple of callers online. Corey was first, Corey, thanks for
- 45:34Speaker 1: calling this morning. Happy Friday Eve.
- 45:37Speaker 10: Happy Friday Eve, Brian. Having been able to call for
- 45:40Speaker 10: a while, I thought.
- 45:41Speaker 3: I call in and had the opportunity this morning. My
- 45:42Speaker 3: work schedules changed here.
- 45:43Speaker 10: Lately, but I wish you had the best of the
- 45:46Speaker 10: health here and get better with what you're going through
- 45:48Speaker 10: and all that good stuff.
- 45:49Speaker 1: But thanks man. It's it's a small price to pay.
- 45:52Speaker 1: If I go through six months of this crap and
- 45:54Speaker 1: I end up with three days of like brain fog
- 45:57Speaker 1: and stumbling around like an idiot, I'll manage through that.
- 46:00Speaker 1: Maybe it'll get me five more years or emission. So
- 46:02Speaker 1: very small price to pay. But I do appreciate the
- 46:04Speaker 1: well wish is truly Cole.
- 46:08Speaker 10: I think the Democrat Party relies on the dumbest people to.
- 46:11Speaker 1: Vote for him, useful idiots.
- 46:13Speaker 10: One of the things this week. I'm sure you've probably
- 46:18Speaker 10: covered it, but the lady went on view some actress
- 46:20Speaker 10: singer said it had grown up in Columbus, Ohio in
- 46:24Speaker 10: nineteen forty nine. Her mother would tell her not to
- 46:26Speaker 10: look in the trees because all the black people hanging. Oh,
- 46:30Speaker 10: the last lynching in Ohio. Yeah, the last lynching was
- 46:33Speaker 10: in nineteen eleven. So she's obviously lying, and I see
- 46:38Speaker 10: a lot of people, you know, reacting to it how
- 46:41Speaker 10: they can't.
- 46:42Speaker 3: Believe she'd lie like that wouldn't lie.
- 46:45Speaker 4: Well, the problem is.
- 46:48Speaker 10: Go ahead, Hey, they don't know any better.
- 46:52Speaker 1: Yeah. No, it's like I'm laughing because I thought of that.
- 46:54Speaker 1: That Commons statement I always use if you read it
- 46:57Speaker 1: on the internet, it's true, said Abraham Lincoln. That's the problem.
- 47:00Speaker 1: People don't have any critical thinking skills. They see something.
- 47:03Speaker 1: It happens to me all the time, man, my conservative friends,
- 47:06Speaker 1: my friends period, doesn't matter whether conservative, liberally or whatever.
- 47:08Speaker 1: They'll send me over some meme posts that they believe
- 47:11Speaker 1: it's real. I'll look at it and immediately go that
- 47:14Speaker 1: doesn't look right, and I'll do my own research and
- 47:16Speaker 1: find out that, no, it isn't right, it's not true.
- 47:20Speaker 1: It's not difficult to do your own research and don't
- 47:23Speaker 1: believe everything you see online. And no, she wasn't surrounded
- 47:26Speaker 1: by a bunch of dead black people hanging from branches
- 47:28Speaker 1: in trees. Might that have happened in a certain important history
- 47:31Speaker 1: in our country. Yeah, but it was so far as
- 47:33Speaker 1: the Highlot history is concerned. Nope, No, I didn't the
- 47:38Speaker 1: view wasn't gonna fact check her anyway. Correct. Joe Strecker,
- 47:41Speaker 1: excellent observation, New Hampshire, Gary, Welcome to the program. Happy Friday.
- 47:45Speaker 5: Eve.
- 47:46Speaker 3: Hey Brian, how you doing. Hope everybody's feeling better on your.
- 47:51Speaker 1: End at least?
- 47:52Speaker 3: Go ahead man, Yeah, anyhow, I'd like to chime in
- 47:56Speaker 3: on what's going on? And Samali are a little maga
- 48:01Speaker 3: issues Minneapolis. It's probably good. It is definitely going on
- 48:09Speaker 3: all over our country. It's it's really bad over in Europe. Yes,
- 48:14Speaker 3: And and what we can see that is that trying
- 48:19Speaker 3: to hearted people or ignorant people, or people who've been indoctrinated,
- 48:24Speaker 3: or people who that have don't have strong faith in God.
- 48:28Speaker 3: There God ah as I see this have either or
- 48:35Speaker 3: people who are in power and are using the Somali
- 48:40Speaker 3: Uh or funneling money or vote. That's all this comes down.
- 48:46Speaker 1: To, or even or even gart just getting just getting
- 48:49Speaker 1: paid to be angry. They're actors, I mean in many cases,
- 48:53Speaker 1: not all of them. Some of them are useful idiots
- 48:56Speaker 1: and actually believe the blatherer that's coming out of their mouths,
- 48:58Speaker 1: but others are are just allowing the blow that to
- 49:01Speaker 1: come out of their mounts because they were given a
- 49:02Speaker 1: script and a paycheck to do it. Protest over, move
- 49:06Speaker 1: on to the next one. I'm getting paid.
- 49:09Speaker 6: Uh.
- 49:09Speaker 3: It's very interesting because I work up here with a
- 49:12Speaker 3: bunch of liberals like that. Up in New Hampshire, we're
- 49:16Speaker 3: kind of an outpost of a conservative uh state that's
- 49:20Speaker 3: turning blue. And a lot of our engineers that have
- 49:26Speaker 3: gone to Ivy League countries. We've got about seven or
- 49:29Speaker 3: eight of them. They're all in favor of Mandannie. They're
- 49:32Speaker 3: all in their thirties, none of them are married, and
- 49:37Speaker 3: very and they consider themselves democratic socialists. And I'm trying
- 49:41Speaker 3: to figure out what a democratic socialist is and they
- 49:44Speaker 3: can't even tell me.
- 49:45Speaker 1: Oh, come on, it's just socialist, man. These the democrats.
- 49:52Speaker 1: It's a transition period.
- 49:54Speaker 6: We vote on it.
- 49:54Speaker 3: And I'm like that they have no idea that it's
- 49:58Speaker 3: an octymoron to become democrat and a socialist. That's not
- 50:02Speaker 3: even more on saying, because most socialists take away the
- 50:06Speaker 3: power from the people and they make the decisions for you,
- 50:09Speaker 3: whether you like it or not. Well, eventually it goes
- 50:13Speaker 3: to communism. You and I know that, But these kids
- 50:16Speaker 3: that come out of college and have been thoroughly indoctrinated.
- 50:21Speaker 3: And most of our engineers are making about one hundred
- 50:24Speaker 3: and seventy thousand dollars a year, and they're complaining on
- 50:28Speaker 3: top of that because they got their college bill the day,
- 50:32Speaker 3: you know. And it's incredible, it really is incredible how
- 50:37Speaker 3: blind they can be.
- 50:38Speaker 1: It is, it really is.
- 50:40Speaker 3: And so I see that they're watching MSNBC going down
- 50:45Speaker 3: trying to bustle of ties to the blue collars, and
- 50:50Speaker 3: you know, that's a losing proposition because I think most
- 50:54Speaker 3: of the blue collars live closer to the economic edge.
- 50:57Speaker 3: And we feel the fire. It's coming our way. You know,
- 51:02Speaker 3: our jobs are being replaced. We hire, you know, more
- 51:06Speaker 3: Spanish and just you know, we've hired, We've hired a
- 51:11Speaker 3: lot of people just for diversity's sake, most of which
- 51:15Speaker 3: they don't stick around after a while because they they're
- 51:19Speaker 3: work ethic and that excludes in white people, their work
- 51:22Speaker 3: young white people, their work ethic really useless. I'm sixty
- 51:27Speaker 3: five years old and I'm working a thirty year old
- 51:30Speaker 3: man job because they can't find somebody who can push
- 51:34Speaker 3: the product down on the floor. Right.
- 51:36Speaker 1: That's a pervasive problem that has no connection whatsoever with
- 51:39Speaker 1: race or you know, one's religion or anything. It's just
- 51:41Speaker 1: that young people are lazy. I hear that from the
- 51:44Speaker 1: private sector. You know, business owners and managers all the time.
- 51:49Speaker 1: Getting some kid that just show up on time is
- 51:52Speaker 1: a huge challenge for them and it's troubling. But you know,
- 51:55Speaker 1: when you tell everybody that their poop poo does not stink,
- 51:58Speaker 1: and everyone gets a participation trophy and everyone gets in
- 52:01Speaker 1: at least a passing grade of C or above not
- 52:04Speaker 1: doing any work, you tend to create a class or
- 52:07Speaker 1: a generation of people who think they don't need to
- 52:09Speaker 1: perform in order to be rewarded, like in this particular
- 52:12Speaker 1: case with a paycheck. Appreciate it, definitely, New Hampshire. Garret's
- 52:17Speaker 1: always a pleasure hearing from me. I appreciate you tuning
- 52:19Speaker 1: in from that distance six twenty nine right now. If
- 52:21Speaker 1: you five KR see the talk station station six thirty three,
- 52:27Speaker 1: you come to a six thirty four if you have
- 52:28Speaker 1: KRC the talk vation. Let's see here. I got one
- 52:34Speaker 1: local story at least I can get in the short
- 52:36Speaker 1: period of time, since I talked too long in the
- 52:38Speaker 1: last one. Clamar County Sheriff's Office is warning people about
- 52:41Speaker 1: a scam, a scam phone calls from people who claim
- 52:44Speaker 1: to be sheriff's deputies. Quarter to Fox eighteen, thank you
- 52:49Speaker 1: Brady Williams reporting these well informed scammers call and then
- 52:52Speaker 1: claim that people will be arrested unless they pay them. Okay,
- 52:56Speaker 1: we're going to call that a giant, giant red flag
- 53:00Speaker 1: of Barber Streisand did they even have to make an
- 53:06Speaker 1: announcement about this? As troubling to me, but here we go.
- 53:09Speaker 1: Susan Alltop almost became a victim, according to Claremont County
- 53:13Speaker 1: Reporting here seventy two years old, since she received a
- 53:16Speaker 1: suspicious call one day. I went ahead and answered it,
- 53:18Speaker 1: and it's this guy that says he's from the Claremont
- 53:21Speaker 1: County Sheriff's office and that I have two bench warns
- 53:24Speaker 1: because I had filled out the paper that said I
- 53:27Speaker 1: showed up to be on jury duty. She had not
- 53:31Speaker 1: filled out any paperwork, but someone claiming that to be
- 53:33Speaker 1: a deputy was there on the phone telling her that
- 53:36Speaker 1: well that he had a warrant for her arrest. She
- 53:37Speaker 1: said he had details about her addressed accurate details about
- 53:40Speaker 1: the Sheriff's office, and even called from what looked like
- 53:43Speaker 1: a sheriff's phone number. All of that, according to Tech
- 53:45Speaker 1: Friday's Dave Hatter's been over this a million times, is
- 53:47Speaker 1: easily done. Altop said, don't hang up, don't disconnect this call.
- 53:54Speaker 1: It's important because you were under suppression. Altop said, I
- 53:58Speaker 1: don't know what's yes, she is whatever I was under her,
- 54:01Speaker 1: I was being suppressed by it. Help help, I'm being
- 54:06Speaker 1: suppressed exactly. Joe Man in the other phone threatened her
- 54:11Speaker 1: for hours. She said, you know how long this conversation
- 54:13Speaker 1: would last if I was on the phone, Well, I
- 54:16Speaker 1: wouldn't even have picked it up. But click, she said,
- 54:21Speaker 1: all the time he's talking to me on the phone,
- 54:23Speaker 1: he needs explaining. They'll send a car out for me,
- 54:25Speaker 1: and they will cuff me, and they will arrest me
- 54:27Speaker 1: and respond to me. Go ahead. Click. Despite the college protests,
- 54:33Speaker 1: Altop went to the Clermont Kenny Sheriff's Ovious immediately. Real
- 54:36Speaker 1: deputies knew exactly what was happening. Since December, the Clamont
- 54:38Speaker 1: Kenny Sheriff's been warning about this scam. As a reminder,
- 54:42Speaker 1: they say deputies will never demand money, They will never
- 54:45Speaker 1: threaten arrest for failure to immediately pay a fine, and
- 54:48Speaker 1: no law enforcement agency will accept gift cards or electronic
- 54:52Speaker 1: transfers to pay a fine. Isn't that a lesson we
- 54:55Speaker 1: all know by now, No, the IRS doesn't accept an
- 55:00Speaker 1: Apple phone card or whatever. Six thirty six right now
- 55:04Speaker 1: if you have carsee the talk stage. Very Happy Thursday
- 55:07Speaker 1: to Friday. Congressman Warren Davidson at the top of the
- 55:10Speaker 1: air News equal time requests from Congressman Andy Barr. He's
- 55:14Speaker 1: running for US Senate in Kentucky. My friends in the Commonwealth,
- 55:17Speaker 1: stick around for that one. Jim Lewis building blocks for
- 55:19Speaker 1: Liberty Constitution boot camp going on this weekend Dayton. We'll
- 55:21Speaker 1: hear from Jim at eight o five and then fast
- 55:24Speaker 1: forward to eight thirty love talking to iHeartMedia aviation expert
- 55:26Speaker 1: Jay Ratliffe will do just that today, as is typical
- 55:29Speaker 1: on a Thursday. So and I'm gonna remind you again
- 55:32Speaker 1: occasionally I do stand on the shoulders of giants, and
- 55:34Speaker 1: I'm happy to do it because the information provided by
- 55:36Speaker 1: those giants is always are quite often really inspiring to me,
- 55:39Speaker 1: which is why I read the op ed or the yeah,
- 55:42Speaker 1: I guess it was an op ed piece. The Modern
- 55:44Speaker 1: Democratic Party is a Kleptocracy yesterday. You can read it
- 55:47Speaker 1: for yourself on my blog page or hear it on
- 55:50Speaker 1: the blog page if you five car se dot com
- 55:52Speaker 1: a link to this to the article, as well as
- 55:54Speaker 1: basically me reading at the five o'clock hour pivoting over
- 55:57Speaker 1: to Barton Swain yesterday. I believe it's in today's Wall
- 56:01Speaker 1: Street Journal. Democrats a nonprofit problem. Continuing a theme here,
- 56:06Speaker 1: the unfolding debacle in Minneapolis captures an underappreciated fact about
- 56:10Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. It is configured to react in unreasoning
- 56:16Speaker 1: rage to everything President Trump does. The challenge of messaging
- 56:22Speaker 1: how to condemn roundups of illegal immigrants without defending protesters.
- 56:25Speaker 1: Lawlessness is only a symptom of the problem. The problem
- 56:28Speaker 1: itself arises from the byzantine network of activist nonprofits created
- 56:35Speaker 1: and fostered over the past decade and a half by
- 56:37Speaker 1: liberal foundations and progressive billionaires. Democrats A nonprofit problem began
- 56:44Speaker 1: more or less than twenty ten, when a cap and
- 56:45Speaker 1: trade bill died in the Senate. Wealthy foundations and donor
- 56:49Speaker 1: class ideologus, animated by fears of global catastrophe, decided they
- 56:54Speaker 1: couldn't achieve their goals by democratic persuasion, and it had
- 56:56Speaker 1: to create an army of nonprofit groups to wage legal
- 57:00Speaker 1: and political war on the imagined enablers of climate change.
- 57:05Speaker 1: The money soon flowed to other areas, as money does,
- 57:09Speaker 1: Particularly since the pandemic and the George Floyd riots of
- 57:12Speaker 1: twenty twenty, the progressive donor class has spread its largest
- 57:16Speaker 1: to advocacy and activist organizations pushing social justice, immigrant rights,
- 57:22Speaker 1: Palestinian statehood, LGBTQ rights, Indigenous people's rights, and as ever,
- 57:27Speaker 1: climate sustainability. Mackenzie Scott, ex wife of Jeff Bezos, has
- 57:31Speaker 1: given twenty six billion with a B since twenty nineteen.
- 57:35Speaker 1: Other billionaires with left leaning proclivities Michael Bloomberg, Pierre Ahmadyard,
- 57:40Speaker 1: George Soros, Tom Steyer have pumped enormous sums into progressive nonprofits.
- 57:46Speaker 1: A cynical observer might consider mister Trump a gift to
- 57:50Speaker 1: left wing nonprofits. He inspires their ire and gives them
- 57:54Speaker 1: dragons to slay. They might also thank Joe Biden, who's
- 57:58Speaker 1: neglect of the southern border created sufficient political demand for
- 58:01Speaker 1: his successor to remove illegal border crossers. One way or another.
- 58:06Speaker 1: About half of the elector disapproves of the arrest and
- 58:09Speaker 1: deportations carried out by Immigrations and custom enforcement officers. But
- 58:13Speaker 1: the anti ICE protests in Minneapolis aren't primarily or maybe
- 58:19Speaker 1: at all, the spontaneous upbriving uprisings of an outrage citizenry.
- 58:25Speaker 1: Governor Tim Walt in a televised address that sounded like
- 58:28Speaker 1: a narration of crystal knocked quote, they're breaking windows, dragging
- 58:33Speaker 1: pregnant women down the street, just plane grabbing Minnesotas and
- 58:36Speaker 1: shoving them in unmarked vans, kidnapping innocent people with no
- 58:39Speaker 1: warning and no due process. Close quote urging viewers to
- 58:45Speaker 1: record ICE operations on their phones. Ordinary people don't do that,
- 58:51Speaker 1: nor do they park their cars to obstruct law enforcement operations,
- 58:54Speaker 1: or gather outside hotels in the WII hours to chant
- 58:57Speaker 1: and bang drum because those hotels rented room go to
- 59:00Speaker 1: ICE agents. Activists do these things in revealing detail or
- 59:07Speaker 1: a revealing detail which i Bart and Swam credit the
- 59:09Speaker 1: Washington Free Beacon for finding the Sunrise Movement initial cap.
- 59:15Speaker 1: The Sunrise Movement, a group founded to stage disruptive climate protest,
- 59:21Speaker 1: wants a piece of the anti ICE action. Sunrise is
- 59:25Speaker 1: training activists to plague hotels and car rental companies that
- 59:28Speaker 1: do business with ice Open Society foundations. George Soros Organization
- 59:32Speaker 1: parenthetically has given Sunrise two million dollars since twenty nineteen.
- 59:36Speaker 1: The Ford Foundation has given it seven hundred thousand dollars
- 59:39Speaker 1: over the past couple of years. MacArthur Foundation a quarter
- 59:42Speaker 1: of a million dollars in twenty twenty four. Another detail,
- 59:46Speaker 1: this one from Karl Zendmeister's new book, Suite Charity, which
- 59:51Speaker 1: defends the virtues of charitable giving and deplores its polonization
- 59:54Speaker 1: by lefty foundations and billionaires. Quoll The No King's protest,
- 59:59Speaker 1: orchestrated by left wing nonprofits and dozens of cities during
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: the fall of twenty twenty five, were heavily funded by
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: a variety of activist philanthropies. Mister Zinsmeister Tally's two hundred
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: and three separate nonprofit protest sponsors. The campus protests since
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, similarly orchestrated by a lattice work of
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: anti Zionist organizations, many larded with money from left wing foundations,
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: Open Society, Caffine Tides and others. Donor class progressives no
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: doubt believe they're helping Democrats and hurting mister Trump by
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: shoveling so much money at left wing nonprofits? Are they
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: I suspect? Most Democrats who ran for office in twenty
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: twenty four found that the screaming anti semites crowding the
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: quads of elite colleges didn't make their campaigns easier. Plainly,
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: the protests complicated Kamala Harris's task of finding a running mate.
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: Any Democrats seem to think ice rounds ups or a
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: net political positive, and probably they are, but the protests
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: are not professional nuisances. Harassing Christian worshipers and cursing at
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: law enforcement agents cancel much of the advantage Democrats might
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: gain from the raids. These busybodies force their intended Democratic
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: beneficiaries to stop talking about affordability and healthcare and instead
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: defend loudmouth lawbreakers and inflame voters with stories of fantastic thuggery.
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: Mister Trump's aggressive policies may invite the protest, but he
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: may reasonably conclude that he will attract protests. There's no
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: matter what he does, so why not go for it?
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: All that moneyman for protests must find things to protest.
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: This is the world. Wealthy liberals created when they decided
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: climate change, and later systemic racism and abortion restrictions and
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: Israeli genocide. We're all existential menaces requiring marches and cities
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: and city and other extra democratic disruptions. It amounts to
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: a subtler and more effective attack on democracy than anything
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: mister Trumps attempted Barton swayin excellent point. And I got
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: a story fill in the gaps on that one. Wait,
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: do you hear about this nonprofit and you get a
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: little extra window into what that's what's going on out
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: there against and anti poverty community initiatives. You decide for
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: yourself what that means. It awarded about one hundred and
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: fifty eight thousand dollars in the entire county. Year twenty
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: twenty four, she ms Armstrong brought in a salary of
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: two hundred and fifteen thousand, seven hundred and twenty six bucks.
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: In addition to that, she took on an additional five
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: hundred and forty eight dollars in health benefits plan contributions
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: and deferred compensation according to filing. Again, these are filing documents.
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: Prior year twenty twenty three, the nonprofit awarded a hund
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: undred and thirty three almost one hundred thirty four thousand grants,
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: she brought in a salary of one hundred and seventy
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: almost one hundred seventy one thousand dollars plus forty four
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: thousand and change in other quote compensation from the organization
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: and related organizations. Again, according to the tax filings, prior
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: to that same pattern, Armstrong taking in one hundred and
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: seventy five thousand dollars in compensation plus thirty three thousand
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: little more in other compensation, the organization doled out one
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: hundred and sixty one thousand and change in grants. So
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: a court of the filings ranging from twenty nineteen to
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, in the six years she made just
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: I have one million dollars as the executive director of
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: the Way Founder Way Founder Wayfounder Foundation, plus an additional
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: two hundred thousand plus in health benefits and other compensation.
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: During that whole period of time, this foundation distributed only
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: seven hundred thousand dollars in grants, and yet during that
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: same time span, the foundation reported five million, two hundred
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: amost two undred and fifty thousand dollars in revenue contributors
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: included Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation. Accord to the
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: twenty twenty three Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation tax fund,
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: that group donated twenty thousand dollars to Wayfinder, in their words,
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: to conduct activities to educate and support black communities. Close
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: quote well, I guess given the amount of allocated money
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: coming from this Wayfinder organization kind of like a leering center. Yeah,
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: it exists. It takes in a lot of money, it
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: just doesn't deliver anything. But notably like most NGO's got
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: a John Desnya's skepticism, I hear the word anymore. You know,
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: you could be a nonprofit organization. You can profess to
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: do all the wondrous great things in the world, and
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: you can convince some elected official that your organization is
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: worthy of taxpayer dollars. We know that the elected officials
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: will never follow up on the work that you do.
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: But just remember the weird, crazy, stupid reality is that
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: behind that moniker nonprofit organization, it doesn't mean anybody's working
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: for free. Quite often a great avenue to make a
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: fat six figure salary. Maybe in some cases more so
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: just one tiny illustration and an illustration of you know,
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: paid protests. She's the one behind disrupting the free exercise
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: of religion, which we learn from Judge An and Apollo Tano.
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: Trump's your free assembly as well as your free speech rights.
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: Why because the Framers put it first in the First Amendment,
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: Free exercise of Religion six fifty seven Congressman Warren Davidson.
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: At the top of the hour, News Plus, we'll hear
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: from Congressman Andy Barr at seven thirty. I sure hope
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: you can wait for that. Today's top headlines coming up
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: at the it's seven oh six AIRTRCD talk station Thomas Vision.
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: Your about a very appy Friday, even welcoming back to
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: the fifty five Karrisee Morning Show and certainly salute and
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: appreciate his willingness to come on the fifty five Karsse
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: Morning Show and talk important issues with my audience and me.
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: Congressman Warren Davidson, Welcome back, sir. It's always great having
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: you on my program.
- 1:06:16Speaker 11: Yeah, I always look forward to it. Thanks Brian.
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: Nice talking with you, Always nice talking to you. And
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: in reverse order, you filed again to represent the eighth district.
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: I'm so pleased to see that you're running again, and
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: I want to let you know right up front, because
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: Joe put it on my rundown. You already have Joe
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: Strecker's vote. I don't know how he was able to
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: cast it. We're not going to even ask that question,
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: but at least Joe Strecker's voting for your congressman diictionson.
- 1:06:39Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm make courage.
- 1:06:40Speaker 3: You know.
- 1:06:41Speaker 11: The sad thing is you lose constituents when they redraw
- 1:06:45Speaker 11: the map, because I've it's changed a bit since I,
- 1:06:47Speaker 11: you know, since I first ran, and this is a
- 1:06:50Speaker 11: third redraw really of it, but it won't take effect
- 1:06:54Speaker 11: till January third next year, and I hope to be
- 1:06:56Speaker 11: the guy that gets a chance to keep serving in Congress.
- 1:07:00Speaker 11: It's obviously very frustrating at time. I think it's obvious
- 1:07:04Speaker 11: to anyone anywhere in the world that this place is broken.
- 1:07:07Speaker 11: It's a little more broken and differently broken than I
- 1:07:11Speaker 11: think I thought before I got here. But it is
- 1:07:13Speaker 11: nice to be here working to make a difference on it,
- 1:07:17Speaker 11: and I feel like at times it's just one of
- 1:07:19Speaker 11: some of the most rewarding things I do. And I
- 1:07:20Speaker 11: will say, you look at it. I know lots of
- 1:07:24Speaker 11: people are frustrated.
- 1:07:25Speaker 6: I think I'm.
- 1:07:26Speaker 11: Probably slightly less frustrated here because I go, well, you know,
- 1:07:29Speaker 11: I see what we're doing. But boy, it's exasperating sometimes
- 1:07:33Speaker 11: to be at a ringside seat and fighting hard to
- 1:07:35Speaker 11: change something and you just can't change the outcome. The
- 1:07:38Speaker 11: epitome of that was COVID, So you know, it's like,
- 1:07:42Speaker 11: this is crazy and you still couldn't stop people from
- 1:07:45Speaker 11: doing crazy things.
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: Well, isn't that true? And lord knows, we've got an
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: seemingly endless list of craziness that came out of COVID.
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: And since we are awash in stories of fraud, waste,
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: and abuse revelations among all these various government programs, I mean,
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: with the trillions of dollars that were thrown out into
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: the world, apparently absolutely no one on any political stripe
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: was watching where the money was went and how it
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: was spent. And I've just discovered something And maybe you
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: can confirm or maybe reject my thlot or my theory
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: on this. All that COVID nineteen money in the city
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: of Cincinnati was one of the recipients of a lot
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: of it. Now they're struggling with how do they manage
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: the books and balance a budget in the absence of
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: COVID money. So my thought was that all this COVID
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: money left Washington, DC, was thrown out of all these
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: underwater left wing cities New York, Chicago, the other ones
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: that were struggling with a budget, and they use it
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: to patch the budget holes that they created.
- 1:08:38Speaker 11: Am I close, Oh, that's exactly what's going on with Obamacare.
- 1:08:43Speaker 11: You know, we put Obamacare subsidies in. They're like, oh,
- 1:08:46Speaker 11: you know, this is terrible, And you're like, well, you
- 1:08:49Speaker 11: said Obamacare was the greatest thing in the world and
- 1:08:51Speaker 11: that was going to cure everything. Why do you need
- 1:08:53Speaker 11: to keep bailing it out. Well, because it's not great,
- 1:08:56Speaker 11: it's terrible. It's delivered terrible results for the market for
- 1:09:01Speaker 11: the people that have it. I guess there are upsides
- 1:09:03Speaker 11: of some of the policy changes. I think Republicans, even
- 1:09:06Speaker 11: some who were skeptics on some of those policies, say yeah, okay,
- 1:09:10Speaker 11: some of these things have worked for good on policy,
- 1:09:13Speaker 11: but on the financial structural part of this. Giving the
- 1:09:16Speaker 11: money to the insurance companies is dumb instead of giving
- 1:09:20Speaker 11: it to consumers. And you know, again, the more things
- 1:09:24Speaker 11: you subsidize, the worse the rate of inflation. For the
- 1:09:27Speaker 11: things that get the subsidies. And it's exactly that because
- 1:09:30Speaker 11: it masks all the inefficiencies and it says, I don't
- 1:09:33Speaker 11: worry about being inefficient, We'll just throw more money at it.
- 1:09:36Speaker 11: And we're seeing that all over the place and you
- 1:09:38Speaker 11: watch look, I will say there's no partisanship when it
- 1:09:40Speaker 11: comes to getting after scam centers. No one supports these
- 1:09:43Speaker 11: guys that are scamming centers, seniors in particular. And we
- 1:09:48Speaker 11: shut one that was like fifteen billion dollars down in
- 1:09:50Speaker 11: Cambodia last year, CAMDI, So you know, yeah, I mean
- 1:09:54Speaker 11: that's a significant part of Cambodia, is GDP. Right, So
- 1:09:58Speaker 11: when it comes to things like that, as Democrats, we
- 1:10:00Speaker 11: see in arm in arm and I'm glad to have
- 1:10:02Speaker 11: their support for it, but it's the scam center is
- 1:10:05Speaker 11: like a Somali daycare center. Oh well, you can't go
- 1:10:07Speaker 11: after that if it's uh, what about you look at healthcare.
- 1:10:11Speaker 11: Illegals supposedly weren't getting Medicaid, but when you shut it down,
- 1:10:16Speaker 11: you want to audit the records of which illegals are
- 1:10:18Speaker 11: getting it. And now they're saying we can't share the
- 1:10:21Speaker 11: Medicaid records with ICE why guy had thought no illegals
- 1:10:24Speaker 11: were getting it, And it's obvious in many states they
- 1:10:26Speaker 11: were getting it by design. So it's just a massive
- 1:10:31Speaker 11: amount of corruption on this stuff.
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: Well with that question, and you know the other point
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: on that, it's this fixing the problem of healthcare? Why
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: is healthcare so expensive? And covering up the cost the
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: true cost of healthcare by offering subsidies just covers up
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: the dollar figure revealing how bad it is. Your premium
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: dollars go up because the cost of paying claims has
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: gone through the roof. Why has the cost of paying
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: claims gone through the roof? And where are the fixes
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: and solutions related to that? Just throwing extra federal money
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: and covering someone's premium. Hell, you want to cover my
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: auto insurance? Why you're at it? You know that's gone up.
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: I mean, you want to cover my energy bill that's
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: gone up primarily because of stupid government policies and chasing
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: carbon dioxide out of the air. How about subsidizing our
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: energy bills? They have to do it in Germany. I mean,
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: you know, it's just crazy. The reality is the underlying
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: problem never gets solved when you mask over it by
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: throwing money on top of it.
- 1:11:29Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, isn't that a sort of analogy for
- 1:11:32Speaker 11: what's going on with the government right? It just keeps
- 1:11:34Speaker 11: getting bigger. And I will say, even in Ohio where
- 1:11:37Speaker 11: we have a balanced budget, when you look at what's
- 1:11:39Speaker 11: going on with spending at the state, you're like, the
- 1:11:42Speaker 11: rate of growth of spending here is pretty bad too.
- 1:11:45Speaker 11: So the spending problem is enormous. And this is why
- 1:11:52Speaker 11: I say, look, your money is being destroyed. You know,
- 1:11:56Speaker 11: it's nice you look at your house and they get
- 1:11:58Speaker 11: their appraisal and you're like, oh, well, it's nice that
- 1:12:00Speaker 11: my house is quote worth more until you get the
- 1:12:03Speaker 11: Proppery tax bill and all that. But then you look
- 1:12:06Speaker 11: at the reality. You know, your house didn't and if
- 1:12:09Speaker 11: you didn't make modifications or anything to it, it didn't
- 1:12:12Speaker 11: automatically go up by the one hundred thousand dollars. Your
- 1:12:16Speaker 11: money got less valuable over time, and that that unfortunately,
- 1:12:20Speaker 11: that's part of what's going on with the stock market.
- 1:12:22Speaker 11: That's why gold is soaring, is the money is being destroyed,
- 1:12:27Speaker 11: and that that's happening with Dustin's You know, if you
- 1:12:30Speaker 11: take five trillion out of the economy every year with taxes,
- 1:12:33Speaker 11: which is roughly what happens. And you jump seven trillion
- 1:12:37Speaker 11: dollars worth of spending in, you're inherently having inflation. You're
- 1:12:41Speaker 11: pouring more into the system than you're taking out of
- 1:12:44Speaker 11: this system. And even in a redistribution mindset where oh little,
- 1:12:50Speaker 11: you know, the left thinks three distributions great.
- 1:12:52Speaker 7: Right.
- 1:12:53Speaker 11: Look, if you put it in a ten, you know,
- 1:12:56Speaker 11: ten gallon drum, and you take five gallons out of
- 1:12:59Speaker 11: a drum and you pour an in, obviously the levels higher.
- 1:13:02Speaker 11: And that's what's going on in our economy over and over.
- 1:13:05Speaker 11: It's destroying the money. And a lot of times people
- 1:13:08Speaker 11: are arguing over things and blaming rich versus poor, red
- 1:13:12Speaker 11: versus blue, urban versus rural, pick your thing. But it's
- 1:13:17Speaker 11: really just the money is being destroyed and the people
- 1:13:20Speaker 11: with assets are less affected by it because you know
- 1:13:25Speaker 11: your assets are getting inflated.
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: Well, I guess I also have to ask, you know,
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: is it nefarious or stupid? Is a typical question I
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: asked quite often in contemplating politicians and their actions. This
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: is such a stark, obvious problem we're facing. Congressman David Send,
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: thirty eight trillion dollars that we have to pay interest
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: on annually, the trillion dollars every year before we know
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: to keep our our solvency. It keeps growing under the
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: Trump administration thus far. I heard just yesterday that we've
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: grown an additional two trillion dollars or something in the
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: whole We spent more than two turely. And then we
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: said we, I mean, this can't end or this can't continue.
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: And the obvious problem is, you know, country like Venezuela,
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: a country like Zimbabwe, a company like the Weimar republican Germany.
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: You run the printing press long enough, the currency gets
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: devalue to the point where it's absolutely worthless. We've heard
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: tales in the past that people having to build wheelbarrows
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: full of money to go to the store to get
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: a load for bread. This is the crash course we're on.
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: History has proven it, Reality proves it, economy and economics
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: proves it. So is it the goal to crash the
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: Fiat currency? Is it the goal to basically upend the
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: entire globe which seems to rely on the American taxpayer
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: dollar and the United States dollar? Or are they just
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: stupid Congressman Davidson.
- 1:14:48Speaker 11: The answer is a little bit of both, right, I thought.
- 1:14:50Speaker 11: So I'm not saying everyone that goes along with this
- 1:14:53Speaker 11: even understands it. It's like, you know, not everyone that
- 1:14:57Speaker 11: supports Marxism really thinks of themselves as a mo Arxists.
- 1:15:00Speaker 11: You know, they just want a little more free stuff
- 1:15:03Speaker 11: for a few more people or whatever.
- 1:15:06Speaker 4: But the reality is.
- 1:15:09Speaker 11: They're the people engineering it. Absolutely understand it. And that's
- 1:15:12Speaker 11: why it's so great that Donald Trump goes to Davos
- 1:15:15Speaker 11: and essentially globalists versus patriots has become the real divide
- 1:15:20Speaker 11: even across countries. I mean, the Europeans and the Democrats
- 1:15:23Speaker 11: are essentially the same, and they're running the same op.
- 1:15:26Speaker 11: They're invading the countries with migrants from the Third World,
- 1:15:30Speaker 11: trying to destroy and undermine the sovereignty of Western civilization. Frankly,
- 1:15:35Speaker 11: they're trying to undo Western civilization and they want massive deficits.
- 1:15:39Speaker 11: And when you look at what their messages are, they
- 1:15:42Speaker 11: want total control with money. They want a central bank,
- 1:15:44Speaker 11: digeral currency with digital ID. And then for Lord of
- 1:15:48Speaker 11: the Ring fans that's like the one ring to rule
- 1:15:50Speaker 11: them all. It's not that you have to have a
- 1:15:52Speaker 11: swat team stacked outside every door, though they're okay doing that.
- 1:15:56Speaker 11: If you don't use the right pronouns or something. Storming churches.
- 1:16:01Speaker 11: Imagine storming in a church in the middle of a
- 1:16:03Speaker 11: worship service and thinking, you're the good guys, and unfortunately
- 1:16:06Speaker 11: there's still no indictments and still nobody you know, in jail.
- 1:16:10Speaker 11: But I am encouraged that they say that seems to
- 1:16:13Speaker 11: be underway. So I don't know how slow the wheels
- 1:16:16Speaker 11: of justice turn, but hopefully before Valentine's Day we've got
- 1:16:21Speaker 11: a few people in jail. But these are the stark
- 1:16:25Speaker 11: ideology contrasts. And the money is central to it because
- 1:16:28Speaker 11: if they get control of the money, you know, they
- 1:16:31Speaker 11: can filter your transactions, they can condition your own access
- 1:16:35Speaker 11: to your own money. And this is underway in China,
- 1:16:38Speaker 11: and the Europeans are building a system in working with
- 1:16:43Speaker 11: the Chinese to do it, that does all the same things.
- 1:16:46Speaker 11: Digital id will basically build a social credit score and say, well,
- 1:16:51Speaker 11: you know, the good guys can do these things, but
- 1:16:53Speaker 11: you know, and that's what they did with Choke Point.
- 1:16:55Speaker 6: These these uh.
- 1:16:57Speaker 11: What they called Operation Choke Point. They are debanking people
- 1:17:00Speaker 11: and these are building out the systems that the radical
- 1:17:05Speaker 11: radical left wants to impose, and a lot of people
- 1:17:08Speaker 11: who support some of the left wing policies want to
- 1:17:12Speaker 11: live in denial and say, oh, that's not happening. Well,
- 1:17:14Speaker 11: it's maybe your neighbor who's a Democrat isn't doing that.
- 1:17:17Speaker 11: And maybe some of my colleagues aren't even the ones
- 1:17:20Speaker 11: that are smart and good people but jaded in some
- 1:17:25Speaker 11: way because hope for these crazy policies. But if you
- 1:17:29Speaker 11: look at it, they're supporting that. Anyone that's supporting these
- 1:17:33Speaker 11: globalists is supporting central banksual currency, digital id is supporting
- 1:17:37Speaker 11: this dystopian system that destroys your money and then turns
- 1:17:41Speaker 11: it into a system for chordersion in control because it's
- 1:17:45Speaker 11: about power, and they mask it pretty well. But that's
- 1:17:49Speaker 11: the real answer of socialism and Marxism. It never works
- 1:17:53Speaker 11: for the people except for the people that are selling it.
- 1:17:56Speaker 11: It produced a path to power for them because it
- 1:17:59Speaker 11: plays on human envy and it's a condition of the soul.
- 1:18:03Speaker 11: So I think it's just painful to watch. It's like
- 1:18:07Speaker 11: I say, your ringside seat. You're trying to fight it
- 1:18:11Speaker 11: and the stakes are incredibly high, but sometimes you just
- 1:18:14Speaker 11: can't seem to change it. No Republican ran on saving Obamacare,
- 1:18:18Speaker 11: but we got seventeen, they're like, oh, we can't let
- 1:18:20Speaker 11: it fail.
- 1:18:21Speaker 7: What okay? Yeah, all the votes?
- 1:18:26Speaker 11: You got a voting card too, like police, send reinforcements
- 1:18:29Speaker 11: in America.
- 1:18:31Speaker 1: Plause for a moment, We'll bring Congressman Warren Davidson back.
- 1:18:33Speaker 1: Find out there's going to be a government shutdown and
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: shutdown and yeah, I'm waiting for the records too, specifically
- 1:18:39Speaker 1: the Epstein files anyway, being from fifty five KOC the
- 1:18:43Speaker 1: talk station. If you have Cassey the talk station, Bryan
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: Thomas a Congressman Warren Davidson who will be running for
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: another term, vote for him. He is a great guy.
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: And Congressman Davidson, I guess I have to This has
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: been frustrating to me. What the hell's going on with
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: the Epstein files? And I guess the other correlator to
- 1:18:58Speaker 1: this is why hold Bill, Hillary Clinton and content for
- 1:19:00Speaker 1: not showing up for deposition when you don't even have
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: all the documents yet to fully depose them. That's the
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: lawyer in me asking that question. But either way, there's
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: a deadline, it's passed, the Epstein file still haven't been produced.
- 1:19:11Speaker 1: What is going on here? Congressman Davidson, you know.
- 1:19:15Speaker 11: With respect to Bill and Hillary Clinton, I will give
- 1:19:17Speaker 11: a shout out to nine Democrats who I don't remember
- 1:19:21Speaker 11: their names, but they joined Republicans in holding the Clintons
- 1:19:25Speaker 11: in content. Oh yeah, And that's logically consistent because they
- 1:19:29Speaker 11: were service poena. They were called to appear before the
- 1:19:33Speaker 11: committee and they didn't show. And that's the same thing
- 1:19:37Speaker 11: that they charged Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro with and
- 1:19:40Speaker 11: both of them no prosecuted and went to jail.
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: No argument for me that that's exactly the path you
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: have to take. You have to respect the power of
- 1:19:47Speaker 1: the subpoena. Although in timing, I would rather as a
- 1:19:51Speaker 1: lawyer have all of the documents in my possession before
- 1:19:54Speaker 1: deposing a key witness about the relationship. So it seems
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: like a it's out of order from my litigation mind perspective.
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: But regardless, the key the problem is that documents haven't
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: been produced. So what's the story on that one.
- 1:20:10Speaker 11: Well, they do have a lot of documents, and freely,
- 1:20:13Speaker 11: they had a whole lot before this dischargedition passed, and
- 1:20:16Speaker 11: you put a very clear burden on the administration to
- 1:20:20Speaker 11: disclose everything. And frankly, they're also skirting the law on
- 1:20:24Speaker 11: the redactions. So what I think is very obvious is
- 1:20:29Speaker 11: they don't want to disclose all of the facts about Epstein,
- 1:20:35Speaker 11: even when compelled by law to disclose the information. I
- 1:20:40Speaker 11: could see, well, gee, there's a lot of data. It's
- 1:20:42Speaker 11: hard to get it all out. Well, it's a whole
- 1:20:44Speaker 11: lot easier if you're not busy redacting it, which is
- 1:20:47Speaker 11: also a violation of the law. So the law says
- 1:20:51Speaker 11: disclosed it, and it doesn't allow you to do the things.
- 1:20:53Speaker 11: And this goes to the heart of why they weren't
- 1:20:56Speaker 11: prosecuting one. A lot of the victims entered into settlement
- 1:21:00Speaker 11: agreements because they didn't want to go to trial, and
- 1:21:02Speaker 11: that's not uncommon even locally when you look at child
- 1:21:05Speaker 11: sex issues. You want the person who was the victim
- 1:21:09Speaker 11: not to have to go through all of that process.
- 1:21:13Speaker 11: So they work it out and they charge them. That
- 1:21:15Speaker 11: there was a ten counts charged in Hamilton County last
- 1:21:19Speaker 11: year for somebody that years ago, right, So so that
- 1:21:23Speaker 11: but it does make it hard after the fact to say, well,
- 1:21:26Speaker 11: now we're going to present it at an open trial
- 1:21:28Speaker 11: because the testimony that you would need is conditioned to
- 1:21:32Speaker 11: the settlement agreements. And then setting that aside, Let's say
- 1:21:38Speaker 11: that never happened. We all know Epstein wasn't self employed, right,
- 1:21:43Speaker 11: I'm not saying he was on payroll, but he was.
- 1:21:46Speaker 11: He was being he was coordinating his activities with someone.
- 1:21:49Speaker 11: And when alex Acosta went after him when he was
- 1:21:53Speaker 11: just attorney in Miami and got a conviction or you know,
- 1:21:58Speaker 11: for primes, he was told to kind of back off
- 1:22:02Speaker 11: a little bit because he's intelligence affiliated. Well is that
- 1:22:06Speaker 11: US intelligence? Is that an ally? And what we're seeing
- 1:22:10Speaker 11: is this administration and continuity with many administrations, isn't going
- 1:22:16Speaker 11: to allow discovery to take place. And when you go
- 1:22:18Speaker 11: to open trial, you have to allow discovery, and the
- 1:22:22Speaker 11: reality they're not going to let that discovery phase happen,
- 1:22:26Speaker 11: including under compulsion of the law. The redactions continue and
- 1:22:30Speaker 11: that's what's slowing the release down. They're reviewing it so
- 1:22:32Speaker 11: that they can redact things.
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: Well, I mean, is there some nefarious motive behind this
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: because so many of these victims they have come out
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: and outed themselves, so they're not even asking for some
- 1:22:43Speaker 1: anonymity to be maintained. So what's going on behind the
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: scenes that is the nefarious component to this? Because seems
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: to me because the law says it overwhelmingly bipartisan support
- 1:22:55Speaker 1: to get the damned documents out by December last year
- 1:22:58Speaker 1: hasn't happened. I mean, I'm just not buying into this
- 1:23:01Speaker 1: whole redaction thing that they've been sitting on them for
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: how long?
- 1:23:05Speaker 11: Yeah, well, I do buy the redactions, as I say,
- 1:23:10Speaker 11: but there is something nefarious there, because like, look, it's
- 1:23:14Speaker 11: one thing if someone was involved in some hideous crime
- 1:23:19Speaker 11: for an intelligence service to use that as blackmail and leverage,
- 1:23:23Speaker 11: and you know, that's sort of the stuff of movies
- 1:23:26Speaker 11: on the one hand. But the other side is when
- 1:23:29Speaker 11: I'm talking to an intelligence official about something else, they said, well,
- 1:23:32Speaker 11: if there was no deviant behavior, there would be no leverage, right,
- 1:23:35Speaker 11: So you look for these kinds of things so that
- 1:23:38Speaker 11: you have blackmail and leverage. Well, it's a whole different
- 1:23:41Speaker 11: thing than when the intelligence service engineers the whole trap
- 1:23:45Speaker 11: and operates something in particularly when it's something that exploits minors. Yeah,
- 1:23:51Speaker 11: and so it's one thing when you see consenting adults
- 1:23:54Speaker 11: participating in things that you find morally wrong. But it's
- 1:23:58Speaker 11: totally different when you're exploiting kids and against their consent,
- 1:24:03Speaker 11: even as kids. Right now, they were raped and by
- 1:24:06Speaker 11: the accounts of the victims, and so I think there
- 1:24:09Speaker 11: has to be justice, and to get that you've got
- 1:24:12Speaker 11: to have facts. But I think, honestly, there are enough
- 1:24:14Speaker 11: facts right now to say you get to change some
- 1:24:17Speaker 11: things and people have to be held accountable for it.
- 1:24:20Speaker 11: And I think that's the sense of outrage that a
- 1:24:22Speaker 11: lot of people get for whatever reason at times. President
- 1:24:26Speaker 11: Trump seems to be immune to that, even though he
- 1:24:29Speaker 11: was pushing it for a long time before he had
- 1:24:32Speaker 11: the ability to do more on it. And I think
- 1:24:35Speaker 11: that's where a lot of people are like, well, what changed?
- 1:24:37Speaker 1: I mean exactly, I'm one of those last year, I'm
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: one of those people.
- 1:24:41Speaker 7: What changed?
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: What changed? Yeah? And those unanswered questions are what driving
- 1:24:45Speaker 1: people crazy, like me, what the hell is the problem?
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: Why did you go one eighty? Why are people now
- 1:24:50Speaker 1: clamoring for them that weren't asking for them earlier when
- 1:24:53Speaker 1: they could have produced them themselves? The Democrats? Anyway, I
- 1:24:55Speaker 1: apologize Congressman Davidson. We are at a time I could
- 1:24:58Speaker 1: talk to you for hours. You know that we'll get
- 1:24:59Speaker 1: you back on next week, and I sure appreciate your
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: willingness to come on the program and keep up the
- 1:25:03Speaker 1: great work, sir.
- 1:25:06Speaker 11: Always an honor, gab bless you and all your listeners.
- 1:25:08Speaker 1: Thank you, sir. Seven twenty nine fifty about Karssee Talks.
- 1:25:12Speaker 1: Seven thirty three fifty five Kerseed Talk Station. Happy Friday, Eve,
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: Jim Lewis building blocks for liberty at the top of
- 1:25:19Speaker 1: the hour, News with the Constitution boot Camp going on
- 1:25:20Speaker 1: a dayton in the meantime. Welcome to the fifty five
- 1:25:22Speaker 1: KRSSEE Morning Show. Running for US Senate, currently a member
- 1:25:26Speaker 1: of the House Representatives, probably serving Kentucky sixth Congressional district
- 1:25:29Speaker 1: since twenty thirteen, Andy Barr. Welcome to the fifty five
- 1:25:32Speaker 1: Carssee Morning Show. It's pleasure to have you on today.
- 1:25:35Speaker 6: Good morning, Brian, how are you?
- 1:25:37Speaker 1: I am doing much better today and not going to
- 1:25:39Speaker 1: go through my health history with you, sir, but it'sufficed
- 1:25:42Speaker 1: to say to my listeners and no I've been struggling late.
- 1:25:44Speaker 1: I'm doing great and I feel really good today, so
- 1:25:46Speaker 1: and I hope you can say the same. What's the motive?
- 1:25:49Speaker 1: What's the motive to run for Senate, Andy Barr? What's
- 1:25:52Speaker 1: your primary goal and what do you hope to accomplish?
- 1:25:54Speaker 1: If you could pick one singular issue that you want
- 1:25:56Speaker 1: to get fixed or done or accomplished. What would you
- 1:26:00Speaker 1: what would you say? It would be?
- 1:26:03Speaker 2: Well, look, I mean the problem we have in this
- 1:26:06Speaker 2: country right now is that we've got extreme, far left.
- 1:26:11Speaker 7: People who want.
- 1:26:12Speaker 2: To commit suicide. They want the country to commit suicide,
- 1:26:18Speaker 2: and they want to do it in a lot of
- 1:26:19Speaker 2: different ways. They want to open our border to flood
- 1:26:22Speaker 2: our country with people who disagree with our culture, inundate
- 1:26:27Speaker 2: our country with poisonous drugs. They want to punish success
- 1:26:31Speaker 2: by embracing socialism over free enterprise.
- 1:26:35Speaker 7: They want to use the.
- 1:26:37Speaker 2: Fear of climate change to drive an irrational shift away
- 1:26:41Speaker 2: from reliable energy, which would destroy and undermine our international competitiveness.
- 1:26:49Speaker 2: And they want to weaken our defense budget. They want
- 1:26:52Speaker 2: to weaken our military with DEI. They want to rationalize
- 1:26:55Speaker 2: terrorism and anti semitism and appease China. A lot of
- 1:27:00Speaker 2: issues in there, but it's all fundamentally linked to this
- 1:27:04Speaker 2: idea that there is a group of people in our
- 1:27:06Speaker 2: country who want to repudiate everything that makes our country
- 1:27:11Speaker 2: strong and good. And so I'm running to prevent the suicide.
- 1:27:16Speaker 2: I'm running to restore the American dream. And as President
- 1:27:22Speaker 2: Trump says make America great again. And that's what we
- 1:27:24Speaker 2: mean when we say make America great again, we mean
- 1:27:29Speaker 2: to prevent the suicide and to restore the greatness of
- 1:27:33Speaker 2: our country. Yeah, that's why I'm running for the United
- 1:27:36Speaker 2: States Senate.
- 1:27:36Speaker 1: Well, and I embrace everything you just said, because there
- 1:27:39Speaker 1: are so many people out there that really just don't
- 1:27:40Speaker 1: believe the concept that, oh, they don't want to bring
- 1:27:43Speaker 1: down America. They just want some fairness. I just need
- 1:27:46Speaker 1: a little extra money from you to give to that
- 1:27:48Speaker 1: person over there.
- 1:27:49Speaker 7: Now.
- 1:27:49Speaker 1: Ultimately, this is just to bring down the United States
- 1:27:52Speaker 1: of America. I mean, look what happened to Europe talking
- 1:27:54Speaker 1: about this carbon dioxide removal phenomenon, this religion that people
- 1:27:58Speaker 1: have embraced. Look what happened to Europe. They're a cautionary tale.
- 1:28:02Speaker 7: You know.
- 1:28:02Speaker 1: Trump comes in and he wants to undo the energy policy,
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: and good for him, because clearly, keeping the lights on
- 1:28:07Speaker 1: when it's going down to minus six degrees over the
- 1:28:09Speaker 1: weekend is an important thing to have. You can't do
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: it with windmills and solar panels. And of course if
- 1:28:16Speaker 1: you try, the price of energy goes through the damn roof.
- 1:28:18Speaker 1: And the government isn't offering a subsidy to help us
- 1:28:21Speaker 1: with our energy bills like they are with Obamacare, are
- 1:28:24Speaker 1: they Andy, Well.
- 1:28:26Speaker 6: That's right.
- 1:28:27Speaker 2: And you know, this religion of sustainability over American competitiveness
- 1:28:32Speaker 2: is what is going to threaten our ability to compete
- 1:28:36Speaker 2: with China, our peer competitor. We have a lot of
- 1:28:40Speaker 2: adversaries out there in the world, but the one thing
- 1:28:43Speaker 2: you can say about China is they are committed to
- 1:28:46Speaker 2: winning the race for these technologies of the future, including
- 1:28:50Speaker 2: artificial intelligence and AI is a is a very very
- 1:28:58Speaker 2: very important technology of the future. And we have to
- 1:29:02Speaker 2: win the race, and we have to win the race
- 1:29:05Speaker 2: of every phase of the stack. And at the very
- 1:29:08Speaker 2: base of that stack is energy. And China is building
- 1:29:13Speaker 2: two new coal power plants a week.
- 1:29:16Speaker 3: Uh.
- 1:29:16Speaker 2: They do not care about emissions. They do not the
- 1:29:20Speaker 2: United States. The United States, we to the extent you care.
- 1:29:25Speaker 7: About the climate or the environment.
- 1:29:27Speaker 6: Uh.
- 1:29:27Speaker 2: The answer is the American way, which is innovation, technology, science.
- 1:29:33Speaker 2: That's how we compete and win. Uh, and and and
- 1:29:38Speaker 2: solve problems. We don't solve problems with another thousand pages
- 1:29:42Speaker 2: of regulations. That's not how you solve problems. But that's
- 1:29:46Speaker 2: how the left wants to do it, and frankly, they
- 1:29:48Speaker 2: use climate as an excuse to grow government and to
- 1:29:52Speaker 2: control your life. Oh I've been I've been fighting that
- 1:29:55Speaker 2: my entire my entire term of Congress.
- 1:29:58Speaker 1: Without question. You take the idea of carbon removal from
- 1:30:01Speaker 1: the process and you eliminate all of the plans that
- 1:30:04Speaker 1: they want to run after. It's all the name of
- 1:30:06Speaker 1: that religion postmor moment, Andy Barr is where you find
- 1:30:08Speaker 1: them online, it's bar b a r R four Senate
- 1:30:11Speaker 1: dot com forty If you have kc detalk station and
- 1:30:14Speaker 1: you find them online, bar b a r R four
- 1:30:16Speaker 1: Senate dot com. And that is the word for nothing,
- 1:30:19Speaker 1: Number four bar for Senate dot Com. Andy bar in
- 1:30:21Speaker 1: the program, Uh, trying to get elected in Kentucky for
- 1:30:24Speaker 1: I guess it's Mitch McConnell's seed correct, Andy.
- 1:30:28Speaker 7: Well, it's the people of Kentucky seed Well.
- 1:30:30Speaker 2: Mitch McConnell has has held the seat for forty two years,
- 1:30:34Speaker 2: and this is the the excuse me, this is the
- 1:30:38Speaker 2: first time, this is the first time in forty two
- 1:30:41Speaker 2: years that the seat has been open and there's not
- 1:30:44Speaker 2: been an incumbent running.
- 1:30:45Speaker 7: So it's it's an important choice. It's an important.
- 1:30:49Speaker 2: Choice for the people of Kentucky, uh and for the
- 1:30:53Speaker 2: future of the country and control of the Senate.
- 1:30:55Speaker 1: It clearly is. And I just got to stick to
- 1:30:58Speaker 1: the energy policy. You you sound or are clearly and
- 1:31:01Speaker 1: above the of all the above type of strategy. Guy,
- 1:31:03Speaker 1: You'll do what's practical to give us efficient and reliable energy,
- 1:31:07Speaker 1: which we definitely need for AI. You know the interesting thing,
- 1:31:10Speaker 1: I got to pivot over to artificial intelligence. I think
- 1:31:13Speaker 1: is great for a couple of reasons. One artificial intelligence
- 1:31:17Speaker 1: power needs has opened up the concept of actually using small,
- 1:31:22Speaker 1: modular reactors which don't produce any carbon if you care
- 1:31:25Speaker 1: about that your religious fanatics out there, but also produces
- 1:31:28Speaker 1: an abundance of electricity and with a very small footprint.
- 1:31:34Speaker 1: These aren't the giant three mile island type reactors anymore.
- 1:31:36Speaker 1: It's new technology. We're in twenty twenty six now, for
- 1:31:39Speaker 1: God say so, let's wake up to it. So, by
- 1:31:42Speaker 1: virtue of artificial intelligence, corporate lords and masters, you know,
- 1:31:47Speaker 1: the Bill Gates of the world, who are clamoring for
- 1:31:49Speaker 1: this reliable energy source, it sounds to me like we're
- 1:31:51Speaker 1: going to start getting it. It's been an impediment, but
- 1:31:54Speaker 1: there's the answer to so many problems and then pivoting
- 1:31:57Speaker 1: over to the other benefit of AI in spite of
- 1:31:59Speaker 1: the downsides of it. We can use artificial intelligence to
- 1:32:02Speaker 1: ferret out fraud, waste, and abuse in our government programs,
- 1:32:05Speaker 1: which seems to loom everywhere.
- 1:32:07Speaker 2: Andy, well, you're exactly right that AI has tremendous promise.
- 1:32:14Speaker 2: I mean, whoever wins the AI race is going to
- 1:32:16Speaker 2: shape the global standards that govern AI. Remember that, and
- 1:32:20Speaker 2: the United States needs to set the standards, not the
- 1:32:25Speaker 2: authoritarian communist regime in Beijing. And whoever sets the standards
- 1:32:31Speaker 2: will in turn help that country move markets towards its
- 1:32:34Speaker 2: companies and its norms. Leadership and AI can also produce
- 1:32:38Speaker 2: faster innovation, greater productivity, higher GDP growth. I was at
- 1:32:42Speaker 2: an AI kind of summit yesterday in financial services, and
- 1:32:49Speaker 2: you can see the amazing applications from fraud prevention to
- 1:32:54Speaker 2: improving credit underwriting, to providing faster ways to submit an
- 1:33:01Speaker 2: insurance claim. There's just amazing efficiencies that can be gained
- 1:33:06Speaker 2: in our economy. But in the military context, AI can
- 1:33:11Speaker 2: improve targeting, logistics, surveillance, wargaming, decision support, autonomous systems and
- 1:33:16Speaker 2: believe you me the Chinese Communist Party is applying AI
- 1:33:21Speaker 2: and some of the most sophisticated AI to their military platforms.
- 1:33:26Speaker 2: That's why they want to annex Taiwan. Taiwan is an
- 1:33:30Speaker 2: island democracy, and it's not just about their historical grievances
- 1:33:34Speaker 2: of the nationalists versus the communists from nineteen forty nine.
- 1:33:40Speaker 2: They want to take over Taiwan because Taiwan, that small
- 1:33:44Speaker 2: island democracy, produces ninety percent of the world's most advanced semiconductors,
- 1:33:49Speaker 2: the two to three and animeter semiconductor chips that go
- 1:33:52Speaker 2: into AI, and so you've got it. In order to
- 1:33:56Speaker 2: win the race of AI, you've got multiple stacks. You
- 1:33:58Speaker 2: have to have energy, you have to have semiconductors, you
- 1:34:03Speaker 2: have to have advanced semiconductors. You have to have AI infrastructure,
- 1:34:07Speaker 2: the data centers. On top of that, you have to
- 1:34:09Speaker 2: have the models. We have the best models for sure.
- 1:34:12Speaker 2: In Vidia, for example, produces the chips. But we have
- 1:34:15Speaker 2: all these companies like you know, claud Anthropic, Chat, GPT,
- 1:34:22Speaker 2: Open AI.
- 1:34:23Speaker 7: They have the best models.
- 1:34:25Speaker 2: But as Jensen Wang says, the CEO of Nvidia China
- 1:34:30Speaker 2: is nanoseconds behind us in all of this. And then Finally,
- 1:34:34Speaker 2: the applications, the technology companies that build the apps on
- 1:34:38Speaker 2: top of the over these models. So in the entire
- 1:34:45Speaker 2: AI stack, we have to be dominant in order to
- 1:34:48Speaker 2: protect our national security, advance our economic competitiveness. And at
- 1:34:52Speaker 2: the very base of that, at a very base of
- 1:34:54Speaker 2: that is energy. And you talked about all of the above. Yes,
- 1:34:57Speaker 2: we need all of the above, but in order to
- 1:34:59Speaker 2: run the AI data centers, you have to have firm
- 1:35:02Speaker 2: baseload power, not intermittent power.
- 1:35:05Speaker 4: Not.
- 1:35:07Speaker 7: Speculative power.
- 1:35:08Speaker 2: Yeah, SMRs is definitely part of the mix in terms
- 1:35:11Speaker 2: of the solution, but we need to go back to baseload,
- 1:35:14Speaker 2: firm power. The most reliable, affordable energy we know, and
- 1:35:16Speaker 2: that's fossil energy, including coal. In Kentucky, we're very fortunate
- 1:35:21Speaker 2: in Kentucky our geology, we have an ocean of coal.
- 1:35:25Speaker 2: After one hundred and fifteen years of mining coal, we
- 1:35:27Speaker 2: still have an ocean of coal. My plan for Kentucky,
- 1:35:31Speaker 2: my vision for Kentucky as Kentucky's next US Senator, is
- 1:35:34Speaker 2: to put our people back to work in mining, in energy,
- 1:35:38Speaker 2: in manufacturing, and help us build the AI infrastructure of
- 1:35:42Speaker 2: the future so that yes, Kentucky compete at Kentucky can
- 1:35:45Speaker 2: compete and win, but also to help Kentucky help the
- 1:35:48Speaker 2: United States advance our national security and help the United
- 1:35:51Speaker 2: States win the race for AI and these other energy
- 1:35:56Speaker 2: energy demand technologies the future, including quantum computing and digital
- 1:36:03Speaker 2: assets as well.
- 1:36:04Speaker 1: Well. We need electricity to run the globe. There is
- 1:36:06Speaker 1: no question about it.
- 1:36:07Speaker 6: You know.
- 1:36:08Speaker 1: The only problem and yes, my tongue is in my cheek,
- 1:36:09Speaker 1: and you're gonna take a quick break here, but you're
- 1:36:12Speaker 1: gonna have to lure those former coal miners away from
- 1:36:14Speaker 1: those green energy jobs that Obama put him in. Remember right,
- 1:36:19Speaker 1: Continue with the conversation with Andy Barr. He's currently representing
- 1:36:23Speaker 1: Kentucky's sixth congressional district. He's running for Senate, going to
- 1:36:27Speaker 1: in his hope, takeover for Mitch McConnell after nine thousand years.
- 1:36:31Speaker 1: B A R R Bar four Senate dot com Real
- 1:36:35Speaker 1: quick here, you know you're talking about chip manufacturing. My
- 1:36:38Speaker 1: son follows this artificial intelligence in these industries very closely,
- 1:36:41Speaker 1: and he had commented to me the other day had
- 1:36:43Speaker 1: read an article about maybe Taiwan investing in manufacturing here
- 1:36:46Speaker 1: in the United States. Trump's been around touting all of
- 1:36:49Speaker 1: the foreign investment that he has brought in the United States. Why,
- 1:36:53Speaker 1: given the threat that China poses a legitimate existential threat
- 1:36:57Speaker 1: to the Taiwan, these people and this industry, would it
- 1:37:00Speaker 1: behoove them to just move it over here to a
- 1:37:02Speaker 1: safe place. Let's start making these vital chips now here.
- 1:37:07Speaker 3: Well.
- 1:37:07Speaker 2: Absolutely, absolutely, we need supply chain resiliency. We've learned that
- 1:37:11Speaker 2: the hard way, and not only for not only for chips,
- 1:37:14Speaker 2: but also for the ingredients of pharmaceuticals. Our supply chains
- 1:37:19Speaker 2: are overly dependent on China. With that and critical minerals.
- 1:37:23Speaker 2: China dominates over ninety percent of the critical minerals, including
- 1:37:26Speaker 2: some of the rare earth elements to go into our
- 1:37:28Speaker 2: national security weapons systems. It's extremely dangerous. So there's a
- 1:37:32Speaker 2: lot of supply chains that we need to move around.
- 1:37:35Speaker 2: That's why President Trump is so focused on using the
- 1:37:39Speaker 2: tools of economic staycraft and not just trade, not just tariffs,
- 1:37:43Speaker 2: but export controls and outbound investment restrictions that I've worked
- 1:37:48Speaker 2: with this administration on.
- 1:37:49Speaker 7: I've led on that, and you know, look, I mean.
- 1:37:53Speaker 2: The bottom line, Brian is I wouldn't be running for
- 1:37:56Speaker 2: this seat if I didn't think I was the best
- 1:37:58Speaker 2: candidate for the job can tell that I'm very immersed
- 1:38:02Speaker 2: in you know, restoring you know, American competitiveness through free enterprise,
- 1:38:08Speaker 2: you know, making sure that we're the global leader in
- 1:38:11Speaker 2: these technologies in the futures, because we're in a competition,
- 1:38:15Speaker 2: and I'm the only candidate in this race who's actually
- 1:38:18Speaker 2: helping President Trump right now enact his agenda. There's a
- 1:38:21Speaker 2: lot of candidates out there who like to talk about
- 1:38:24Speaker 2: supporting President Trump.
- 1:38:25Speaker 7: They say they're a Trump guy.
- 1:38:26Speaker 6: Whatever.
- 1:38:27Speaker 2: Well, I was the chairman of his campaign in Kentucky
- 1:38:31Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four in the primary, and the President
- 1:38:35Speaker 2: has worked with me over the years, and that's a
- 1:38:39Speaker 2: major difference between me and these other candidates. I'm actually
- 1:38:42Speaker 2: helping President Trump now in the Congress. And the other
- 1:38:46Speaker 2: thing is I'm the only candidate in this race with
- 1:38:48Speaker 2: a proven track record of actually advancing conservative policies in
- 1:38:52Speaker 2: the Congress. There are other candidates with other credentials, but
- 1:38:57Speaker 2: those credentials don't include the ability to hit the ground
- 1:39:01Speaker 2: running on day one. I'm doing the job now. I
- 1:39:04Speaker 2: know the job. I have existing relationships with senators, with
- 1:39:08Speaker 2: the administration, with cabinet members.
- 1:39:10Speaker 7: I work with those cabinet members.
- 1:39:11Speaker 2: They have my cell phone number, I have theirs, and
- 1:39:15Speaker 2: we talk about how we can work with this president
- 1:39:17Speaker 2: to advance the cause that we all share. And then
- 1:39:20Speaker 2: the last thing I would say is we owe it
- 1:39:22Speaker 2: to our philosophy to win. And I am a proven
- 1:39:26Speaker 2: winner in a tough swing district in Kentucky. I represent
- 1:39:29Speaker 2: the only purple swing district in the state, and the
- 1:39:33Speaker 2: Lexington area is known as the Big Blue Nation. We
- 1:39:37Speaker 2: say it because of the Kentucky Wildcats, but it's the
- 1:39:42Speaker 2: Big Blue Nation for another reason too. Politically, Fayett County
- 1:39:46Speaker 2: in central Kentucky, my home area, voted Obama, Obama, Clinton, Biden,
- 1:39:51Speaker 2: Kamala Harris, and yet for seven straight elections. Even though
- 1:39:56Speaker 2: I have been battle tested, even though Nancy Pelosi has
- 1:39:59Speaker 2: thrown millions of dollars to defeat me, even though I
- 1:40:02Speaker 2: flipped a seat from Democrat to Republican and held it.
- 1:40:05Speaker 2: I have won over and over again in that tough district.
- 1:40:09Speaker 2: And the only way a Democrat can win statewide in
- 1:40:12Speaker 2: Kentucky is to win my district. That's how one of
- 1:40:15Speaker 2: my opponents, the former Attorney General, was defeated in a
- 1:40:20Speaker 2: statewide election in twenty twenty three.
- 1:40:21Speaker 7: He lost to our governor.
- 1:40:23Speaker 2: Our governor, our democratic governor won because he defeated my
- 1:40:26Speaker 2: opponent by nineteen points in my district. This may sound imodest,
- 1:40:31Speaker 2: but I'm not going to lose my district. I've won
- 1:40:33Speaker 2: it seven straight times. I can block their path. So
- 1:40:37Speaker 2: if you want to take Kentucky off the map, if
- 1:40:40Speaker 2: you want to defeat the Democrats and those who want
- 1:40:43Speaker 2: to help our country commit suicide. If you want to
- 1:40:46Speaker 2: stop the suicide, nominate the best, strongest conservative Republican who
- 1:40:51Speaker 2: is going to help this president, who will win in
- 1:40:54Speaker 2: the fall.
- 1:40:54Speaker 7: And you know, the Democrats released.
- 1:40:56Speaker 2: A poll and the poll showed him December, or that
- 1:41:00Speaker 2: I am the only Republican candidate with a comfortable double
- 1:41:04Speaker 2: digit lead over all the Democrats. The other Republican candidates
- 1:41:07Speaker 2: who have been on your show, who have talked about
- 1:41:10Speaker 2: running for this seat, they risk putting this seat in danger.
- 1:41:13Speaker 2: They're either tied with the Democrats and by the way,
- 1:41:16Speaker 2: not just the Democrats but socialists, they're tied with them,
- 1:41:21Speaker 2: or they have a very uncomfortable single digit lead. I
- 1:41:24Speaker 2: want to earn the support of Republicans in northern Kentucky,
- 1:41:30Speaker 2: not just because I can win, but because I would
- 1:41:33Speaker 2: be the best senator to advance our cause.
- 1:41:37Speaker 7: But you owe it to your philosophy to win.
- 1:41:40Speaker 2: And frankly, Republicans should not be worried about Kentucky and
- 1:41:45Speaker 2: holding the seat in Kentucky in the fall. They need
- 1:41:47Speaker 2: to be worried about Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, Maine, New Hampshire.
- 1:41:53Speaker 2: We need to take Kentucky off the map so that
- 1:41:56Speaker 2: this president knows he has a reliable porter and principal
- 1:42:02Speaker 2: conservative in the Senate, all.
- 1:42:04Speaker 1: Right, and they'll have an opportunity to make that choice
- 1:42:05Speaker 1: on the Republican side of the ledger is the primary
- 1:42:08Speaker 1: in March, sir, I apologize for not knowing that.
- 1:42:11Speaker 2: No, the primary is May nineteenth. May May nineteenth, And
- 1:42:17Speaker 2: many of your listeners may have never met me or
- 1:42:21Speaker 2: know about me and my service in Congress because I'm
- 1:42:23Speaker 2: not in the media market for northern Kentucky.
- 1:42:26Speaker 7: But listen, it's been a privilege of.
- 1:42:28Speaker 2: A lifetime to fight big government, to support free market
- 1:42:32Speaker 2: capitalism and free enterprise and cut taxes, cut spending, cut regulation,
- 1:42:37Speaker 2: forced the government to live within this means. It's been
- 1:42:39Speaker 2: a privilege to fight for those ideas and those ideals
- 1:42:43Speaker 2: in the United States Congress for the last several terms,
- 1:42:46Speaker 2: but it would be an even greater privilege to represent
- 1:42:49Speaker 2: all of Kentucky, including Northern Kentucky, which let's face it,
- 1:42:52Speaker 2: it is an economic juggernaut for the Commonwealth with CBG
- 1:42:58Speaker 2: and the logistics up there, and I would be honored
- 1:43:01Speaker 2: to represent the folks.
- 1:43:02Speaker 1: Up there getting better every day. Andy Barr find one

- 1:43:32Speaker 1: we're gonna hear from my heart meatyavas expert Jay Rattle.
- 1:43:35Speaker 1: Have a lot to talk about with Jay, and I
- 1:43:37Speaker 1: have feelings he's gonna have something to say about the
- 1:43:39Speaker 1: big snow coming this weekend. Hope today's anyway without further ado,
- 1:43:43Speaker 1: and it's been too long since we talked. Thank you
- 1:43:46Speaker 1: for your service. To our country. Retired Marine Jim Lewis
- 1:43:49Speaker 1: one of the men behind Building Blocks for Liberty. He
- 1:43:52Speaker 1: noticed there is a huge hole in R K through
- 1:43:54Speaker 1: twelve education system because sadly, we live in the United
- 1:43:57Speaker 1: States of America and they no longer teach civic, they
- 1:44:00Speaker 1: no longer teach the constitution, they no longer teach the
- 1:44:03Speaker 1: reason we've had a revolution against the king and started
- 1:44:07Speaker 1: our own country. Jim Lewis knew that, and that's why
- 1:44:09Speaker 1: he started Building Blocks for Liberty. Welcome back to Jim.
- 1:44:10Speaker 1: It's always a pleasure having you on the show.
- 1:44:13Speaker 6: Well, thank you so much, Brian. I really appreciate y'all
- 1:44:16Speaker 6: having me back on and I always enjoyed being all
- 1:44:18Speaker 6: with you guys.
- 1:44:19Speaker 1: Well, you're doing great work out there in the world
- 1:44:21Speaker 1: and again filling that massive hole in our education system.
- 1:44:25Speaker 1: I mean, I just I have to observe that. You know,
- 1:44:27Speaker 1: we live in the United States of America celebrating two
- 1:44:30Speaker 1: hundred and fifty glorious years. Not perfect, I will agree,
- 1:44:33Speaker 1: but making progress better and better every single year of
- 1:44:36Speaker 1: our existence. And here we are, and we don't have
- 1:44:39Speaker 1: a country, or we live in a country where state
- 1:44:42Speaker 1: legislative bodies have to pass laws forcing K through twelve
- 1:44:46Speaker 1: education to actually incorporate civic classes into the curriculum. That's
- 1:44:51Speaker 1: that's batcrap and saying, Jim Lewis.
- 1:44:54Speaker 6: That is just sad and it makes you wonder why
- 1:44:58Speaker 6: they're not teaching.
- 1:44:59Speaker 1: It because they're not proud of who we are, right,
- 1:45:05Speaker 1: But we have to, you know, take what we got
- 1:45:08Speaker 1: and we're moving on with it.
- 1:45:10Speaker 6: And we work hard work trying to work with kids.
- 1:45:13Speaker 6: I teach, you know, two days a week at a
- 1:45:16Speaker 6: Christian homeschool group now you know, and you know, teach
- 1:45:21Speaker 6: American history and world history to them, and it's really great.
- 1:45:25Speaker 6: We're now parent. We've really been doing a lot of
- 1:45:28Speaker 6: work over the last year and we're finally we're we're
- 1:45:32Speaker 6: working with Wright State University now their Civics department, and
- 1:45:38Speaker 6: we are going to be doing a boot camp up
- 1:45:39Speaker 6: there next month, and then we're going to also do
- 1:45:42Speaker 6: one of our we've got liberty lessons. We're going to
- 1:45:45Speaker 6: be doing one liberty lesson a month at Wright State
- 1:45:47Speaker 6: University for the rest of the year.
- 1:45:49Speaker 1: Well, that's like going into isn't that going into like
- 1:45:51Speaker 1: occupied territory? You're sneaking behind commy lines in order to
- 1:45:54Speaker 1: teach American political philosophy the way it should be taught.
- 1:45:58Speaker 1: I mean, how did you get your foot in the
- 1:46:00Speaker 1: door of a university, Jim Lewis, And of course building blocks,
- 1:46:03Speaker 1: so liberty is behind the whole idea of the Constitution.
- 1:46:06Speaker 1: Boot camp. We've got one coming up we're going to
- 1:46:08Speaker 1: talk about. But I mean, I would like to think
- 1:46:10Speaker 1: that Wright State is one of many down the road universities.
- 1:46:13Speaker 1: You're going to get this information back in the in
- 1:46:15Speaker 1: the class.
- 1:46:17Speaker 6: Yeah, they're they're starting to have a state man data.
- 1:46:21Speaker 6: Of course, ctimcs that offer an alternative voice to the students,
- 1:46:28Speaker 6: and so you know, bad bless them. That's getting us
- 1:46:32Speaker 6: in there now. We've been working with them for the
- 1:46:34Speaker 6: last ten months on you know, how do we get
- 1:46:36Speaker 6: into the end of the air. So we're actually going up.
- 1:46:40Speaker 6: You know, we're doing it right on campus. It's going
- 1:46:42Speaker 6: to be great, well.
- 1:46:43Speaker 1: It will be great. And of course I'm thinking that
- 1:46:47Speaker 1: these are these are young people. They're adults if they're
- 1:46:49Speaker 1: in college for the most part. You know, I turned
- 1:46:51Speaker 1: eighteen as a freshman, that you see. But adults, they
- 1:46:54Speaker 1: should have already had a solid foundation in constitutional history.
- 1:46:59Speaker 1: And yet they presumably at least everything I've been reading,
- 1:47:03Speaker 1: they have been indoctrinated in this woke leftist, pro socialist,
- 1:47:06Speaker 1: anti American ideology. It's been steeped into the curriculum for
- 1:47:10Speaker 1: K through twelve education across this country. So you're facing
- 1:47:14Speaker 1: perhaps and maybe not a challenge bringing about this very
- 1:47:19Speaker 1: factual information about what exactly our constitution means.
- 1:47:25Speaker 6: Yeah, well, the words you said very factual. That's what
- 1:47:28Speaker 6: really helps us. And you know, we have no fear
- 1:47:31Speaker 6: of going in there because we're going to present the
- 1:47:34Speaker 6: truth that's verifiable. Whereas when they start questioning what they've
- 1:47:39Speaker 6: been told, they're not going to be able to verify it.
- 1:47:42Speaker 6: So what makes it kind of easy to change minds
- 1:47:45Speaker 6: if they want to have an open mind and actually
- 1:47:47Speaker 6: want to know do a little checking for themselves.
- 1:47:50Speaker 1: Yeah, and I assume, based upon your philosophy of life,
- 1:47:53Speaker 1: you won't mind any questions in class when you're teaching
- 1:47:56Speaker 1: this on a college level either.
- 1:47:59Speaker 6: Love having question good. That's how we brut out.
- 1:48:03Speaker 1: That is that's where you make your points. Man, you know,
- 1:48:05Speaker 1: open for them, ask any questions you want. You're on sold,
- 1:48:08Speaker 1: We're on rock solid ground. That's beautiful, exactly.
- 1:48:12Speaker 6: So exactly.
- 1:48:14Speaker 1: You will be expanding this and I'm focusing on this, this,
- 1:48:17Speaker 1: this broader expansion for Building Blocks for Liberty dot org
- 1:48:20Speaker 1: because you are a five O one C three nonprofit.
- 1:48:23Speaker 1: But something tells me you're not the kind of five o'
- 1:48:25Speaker 1: one c three nonprofit where you, Jim Lewis, are making
- 1:48:27Speaker 1: half a million dollars a year on the donations the
- 1:48:30Speaker 1: Building Blocks for Liberty.
- 1:48:33Speaker 6: Oh I wish No. We've been doing this now for
- 1:48:37Speaker 6: fifteen years and we've never taken a diamond tay any
- 1:48:41Speaker 6: of us.
- 1:48:43Speaker 1: Oh yeah, listening audience, did you hear that.
- 1:48:46Speaker 6: We live on donations? You know, whatever people donate to us.
- 1:48:51Speaker 6: That is what enables us to do things, you know,
- 1:48:54Speaker 6: like go on to Wright State University and have enough
- 1:48:57Speaker 6: fund so that we can buy books. Because once students
- 1:49:00Speaker 6: attend attend to our classes, they attend for free, so
- 1:49:05Speaker 6: we have to put the bill for them. We pay
- 1:49:07Speaker 6: for all their books and everything. So and we don't
- 1:49:10Speaker 6: mind doing that, but you know, donations, are you really
- 1:49:13Speaker 6: helpful to help us do that provide booked and materials
- 1:49:17Speaker 6: to students.
- 1:49:18Speaker 1: I have learned over the years, I have a very
- 1:49:20Speaker 1: very generous listening audience when it comes to truly important
- 1:49:23Speaker 1: and worthy causes, they typically step up to the plate.
- 1:49:27Speaker 1: So I'm really going to encourage those you are listening
- 1:49:29Speaker 1: to my voice right now, building blocks for the brother
- 1:49:32Speaker 1: word for building blocks for Liberty dot org. Help them
- 1:49:35Speaker 1: out and help them spread the just the unbelievable beauty
- 1:49:39Speaker 1: and awesomeness of the Founding documents in our country and
- 1:49:42Speaker 1: pivoting over You're going to be doing even doing these
- 1:49:44Speaker 1: Constitution boot camps since twenty eleven, right, isn't it the
- 1:49:48Speaker 1: first year you started?
- 1:49:50Speaker 6: That's correct, twenty elevens when we first started doing them,
- 1:49:54Speaker 6: and we just keep doing them, and I think they
- 1:49:56Speaker 6: keep getting better and better. We keep, you know, in
- 1:49:59Speaker 6: corporate rating information that people want and they need to hear.
- 1:50:04Speaker 6: So yeah, we're just excited about it. We've got one
- 1:50:07Speaker 6: coming up this Saturday. It's going to be in Huber Heights.
- 1:50:13Speaker 6: It's Concerned Veterans for America sponsoring it, and yeah, we're
- 1:50:19Speaker 6: doing one. Then then we've got a Liberty lesson on
- 1:50:23Speaker 6: the thirty first in Sharonville on the pursuit of Happiness
- 1:50:28Speaker 6: and answering common misconceptions about the American Founding that's being
- 1:50:35Speaker 6: done by one of our newest members. Mark Barrell's written
- 1:50:37Speaker 6: two books on these subjects of the Declaration and things
- 1:50:40Speaker 6: like that. Then we go back up to like I said, Fairborne,
- 1:50:45Speaker 6: up to Wright State on the twenty first of February
- 1:50:49Speaker 6: to do a boot camp, and we've got another boot
- 1:50:52Speaker 6: camp in elevenon on the twenty eighth of March. That's
- 1:50:54Speaker 6: what we've got scheduled so far. We've got a lot
- 1:50:57Speaker 6: of stuff that were over the next two or three weeks,
- 1:51:00Speaker 6: We're gonna have a lot of stuff scheduled.
- 1:51:01Speaker 1: Absolutely, I'm so pleased to hear that that is all
- 1:51:04Speaker 1: going on, and maybe even more. Jim Lewis pause. I'm
- 1:51:07Speaker 1: going to bring you back talk a little bit more
- 1:51:08Speaker 1: about the boot camp, what people are going to, you know,
- 1:51:13Speaker 1: go in and find out what they're going to get
- 1:51:15Speaker 1: when they're there, what they're going to learn. But also
- 1:51:17Speaker 1: I'm gonna press you a little bit on this Pursuit
- 1:51:19Speaker 1: of Happiness seminar. You're doing building blocks for Liberty dot org.
- 1:51:24Speaker 1: Check it out, get all the information and yeah, hit
- 1:51:26Speaker 1: that donate button. Jim Lewis pause. Will bring you right
- 1:51:28Speaker 1: back at eight fourteen right now fifty five K see
- 1:51:31Speaker 1: talk station. Here's what's happening Green They talk Station Barn.
- 1:51:34Speaker 1: Tim is talking with Jim Lewis. He's the man, one
- 1:51:38Speaker 1: of the people behind. He's not taking full credit for
- 1:51:39Speaker 1: building blocks for liberty to do. Constitution boot camps, next
- 1:51:42Speaker 1: one taking place Saturday. It's not too late to sign up.
- 1:51:45Speaker 1: Concerned Veterans for America is the sponsor forty four sixty
- 1:51:48Speaker 1: two Brandt Pike nine am to three pm. You get
- 1:51:51Speaker 1: more constitution, more US founding documents, history than you can manage.
- 1:51:56Speaker 1: They're going to teach you how to talk about it,
- 1:51:57Speaker 1: how to you know, discuss the Constitution, so you're prepared
- 1:52:01Speaker 1: to engage with people who are ignorant to the beauty
- 1:52:04Speaker 1: of our United States Constitution. But they're also going to get,
- 1:52:07Speaker 1: for the low low price of thirty bucks to get
- 1:52:09Speaker 1: into the class, a free lunch as well as copies
- 1:52:12Speaker 1: of the Federalist papers and the Handbook for We the
- 1:52:14Speaker 1: People and a Constitution as well.
- 1:52:17Speaker 6: Right exactly, So get it all?
- 1:52:21Speaker 1: Okay? And I also you mentioned the word sponsor Concerned
- 1:52:25Speaker 1: Veterans of American as a sponsor. You're looking for other
- 1:52:28Speaker 1: organizations to host a Constitution boot camp. I'm checking out
- 1:52:33Speaker 1: your web page. You got upcoming events. You're soliciting people
- 1:52:36Speaker 1: out there in the world to get in touch with
- 1:52:38Speaker 1: you to do a boot camp.
- 1:52:40Speaker 6: Am I right, Yes, we do. We do. We start
- 1:52:43Speaker 6: doing that in November for the fall, you know, the
- 1:52:45Speaker 6: next year, and we continue doing it. And you know,
- 1:52:48Speaker 6: that's how we got the concerned veterans folks. And you know,
- 1:52:52Speaker 6: I think we start picking up other groups like that,
- 1:52:55Speaker 6: church groups and things like that that want us to
- 1:52:57Speaker 6: come in and you know, put on a class in
- 1:52:59Speaker 6: their church. You know, we look for locations that are
- 1:53:02Speaker 6: going to be free. You know, we minimize our costs
- 1:53:05Speaker 6: and everything that we do. And sometimes the groups are
- 1:53:09Speaker 6: sponsoring us will actually provide the lunch so we don't
- 1:53:12Speaker 6: have to, you know, pay out our pockets for that too.
- 1:53:15Speaker 6: So it works out real nice.
- 1:53:17Speaker 1: That sure does so, church group. And I know from
- 1:53:20Speaker 1: your materials you even have introductory materials that maybe a parishional,
- 1:53:26Speaker 1: a parishioner can present to the pastor the church's governing board,
- 1:53:29Speaker 1: for example, to explain exactly what you want to do.
- 1:53:31Speaker 1: It kind of greases the skids, get your foot in
- 1:53:34Speaker 1: the door. And this is all a noble cause. Now
- 1:53:37Speaker 1: I got to ask you and sort of half jokingly,
- 1:53:41Speaker 1: but more seriously state I don't think these crazy leftists
- 1:53:45Speaker 1: that are running around screaming at everyone all the time,
- 1:53:48Speaker 1: I don't think they're capable of happiness. I think it
- 1:53:50Speaker 1: seems to me if you gave them everything they want,
- 1:53:52Speaker 1: they would still be angry and mad as hell about something.
- 1:53:55Speaker 1: But you talked about the seminars on pursuit of happiness
- 1:53:59Speaker 1: just boiled down. Jim Lewis, what what does that talk about?
- 1:54:02Speaker 1: What do you what do you engage in when you
- 1:54:03Speaker 1: do when you do those classes?
- 1:54:07Speaker 6: Well, you know, Mark Burrell does the class and like
- 1:54:09Speaker 6: I said, he's written two books on the Declaration and
- 1:54:12Speaker 6: you know the pursuit of happiness that comes from the
- 1:54:15Speaker 6: Declaration of Independence, life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
- 1:54:19Speaker 6: And what Mark does is he basically breaks it down.
- 1:54:23Speaker 6: You know, what did the founders mean when they said life,
- 1:54:26Speaker 6: liberty and the pursuit of happiness. You know, he wants
- 1:54:29Speaker 6: to unpack the total, the full meaning from that phrase
- 1:54:34Speaker 6: and this connection to the freedom we enjoy when we
- 1:54:37Speaker 6: have these rights protected by government which is supposed to
- 1:54:40Speaker 6: do so he kind of gets into the whole thing
- 1:54:43Speaker 6: and says, here's what it is, here's what it means.
- 1:54:46Speaker 6: And oh, by the way, did you know government's supposed
- 1:54:48Speaker 6: to protect these rights from us? And explains goes down
- 1:54:52Speaker 6: that road too. So it's really pretty full.
- 1:54:56Speaker 1: I'm sure it is, and a lot to unpack here.
- 1:55:00Speaker 1: You will be doing a dive. I mean, I know
- 1:55:02Speaker 1: they get a copy of the folks who attend the
- 1:55:04Speaker 1: building blocks classes on constitution boot can't get the Federalist papers.
- 1:55:08Speaker 1: But those are critical documents when you need when you're
- 1:55:11Speaker 1: trying to understand the Constitution itself.
- 1:55:15Speaker 6: Well, you know the Federalist papers, that's you know, your explanation.
- 1:55:19Speaker 6: Here's what everybody says, Well, what did the founders intend
- 1:55:22Speaker 6: when they wrote that? Well, look at the Federalist papers.
- 1:55:24Speaker 6: That's what they were written for, to tell you what
- 1:55:27Speaker 6: their intentions were. When the Constitution was crafted and constructed
- 1:55:32Speaker 6: in Philadelphia in seventeen eighty seven, James Madison, you know
- 1:55:36Speaker 6: called the Father of the Constitution, along with Hamilton, Alexander Hamilton,
- 1:55:40Speaker 6: and John Jay sat down and started answering questions being
- 1:55:44Speaker 6: asked by folks who came to be known as the
- 1:55:47Speaker 6: anti Federalists because they were asking questions saying the Constitution
- 1:55:51Speaker 6: leaves the doors open for this, this, and this, and
- 1:55:53Speaker 6: they would answer back, no, it doesn't and here's why.
- 1:55:55Speaker 6: Boom boom boom. So you know, it's kind of like
- 1:55:58Speaker 6: the addendum to a contract. The constitutions a contract, the
- 1:56:02Speaker 6: Federal's papers, in my views, like that the addendum the
- 1:56:06Speaker 6: opposing lawyer answering the questions that you know, the other
- 1:56:09Speaker 6: person's asking about what the contract says. So you've got
- 1:56:13Speaker 6: to have the federal's papers and you've got to know
- 1:56:14Speaker 6: how to use them. And that's what we teach is
- 1:56:18Speaker 6: what are the Federal's papers and how do you use
- 1:56:20Speaker 6: them in connection with the Constitution. We teach that in
- 1:56:23Speaker 6: this class.
- 1:56:24Speaker 1: It's like an appendix to the Constitution, so like a
- 1:56:26Speaker 1: definition or a bibliography that goes along with it, exactly
- 1:56:32Speaker 1: building blocks Celebrity Constitution boot Camp, it's the informations on
- 1:56:35Speaker 1: my blog page. But five krec dot com and ideally, Jim,
- 1:56:40Speaker 1: what's the age group you're you're you're hoping to best
- 1:56:43Speaker 1: serve by for folks attending the class. I mean, is
- 1:56:46Speaker 1: there a cutoff like I don't want anybody over the
- 1:56:48Speaker 1: age of twenty or something, or is it all comers?
- 1:56:51Speaker 1: What's what's your focus? What's your all comers?
- 1:56:55Speaker 6: All comers, I wouldn't bring kids younger than ten or
- 1:56:59Speaker 6: twelve because they're.
- 1:57:00Speaker 11: And get bored.
- 1:57:01Speaker 1: That fair enough statement managing expectations.
- 1:57:07Speaker 6: Twelve we're over y'all, come.
- 1:57:09Speaker 1: Get them on in there. Made it real easy to
- 1:57:11Speaker 1: do that, Jim. Joe Streker put your information up on
- 1:57:14Speaker 1: the blog Pagevie you have CARC dot com. Jim Lewis,
- 1:57:16Speaker 1: you know you always have a spot here in the
- 1:57:17Speaker 1: morning show. Spread the love about what you are doing
- 1:57:20Speaker 1: in the interest of American history and American education and
- 1:57:24Speaker 1: an effort to well protect what we have here which
- 1:57:26Speaker 1: so many people seem to want to throw out the door.
- 1:57:29Speaker 1: Jim Lewis, thank you for your service to our country
- 1:57:31Speaker 1: and your ongoing patriotism and service through the building blocks
- 1:57:34Speaker 1: for Liberty dot org site. Thank you right, always a
- 1:57:38Speaker 1: pleasure if I'm the talk station. Hey, twenty nine fifty
- 1:57:43Speaker 1: five KRC the talk station. Very Happy Friday Eve. You
- 1:57:46Speaker 1: made extra special every Friday or Friday Eve at this
- 1:57:49Speaker 1: time anyway with iHeartMedia aviation expert Jay Ratlift Jay, welcome
- 1:57:53Speaker 1: back to my friend. It's always great having you on
- 1:57:54Speaker 1: the show.
- 1:57:56Speaker 3: Oh the highlight of my day.
- 1:57:57Speaker 1: Brother let's talk to you. So kind of me to say,
- 1:57:59Speaker 1: and I've been giving thanks to everyone who's wished me
- 1:58:01Speaker 1: well having the camp chemo treatments. And actually your post
- 1:58:04Speaker 1: on Facebook, I know you didn't mention me specifically, but
- 1:58:06Speaker 1: I knew darn well who you were talking about since
- 1:58:08Speaker 1: we've talked about that brought a tear to my eye.
- 1:58:11Speaker 1: All the response you have a lot of people out
- 1:58:12Speaker 1: in the prayer community answering the challenge man that I'll
- 1:58:16Speaker 1: give credit to you and all those others who you know,
- 1:58:18Speaker 1: prayed for me in my in my good health, because
- 1:58:20Speaker 1: I'm pretty much firing on all cylinders today after a
- 1:58:23Speaker 1: few days of downtime. So it's a small price to pay.
- 1:58:26Speaker 12: No, but the six hour, six hour treatment, man, I
- 1:58:28Speaker 12: tell you that that that that's got to be rough,
- 1:58:30Speaker 12: and you've been through stuff like this before, and it's
- 1:58:34Speaker 12: you know, I mean, just I mean, how arrogant is
- 1:58:37Speaker 12: it of us to every day wake up and just
- 1:58:39Speaker 12: take the day we've been given like it's uh, it's
- 1:58:42Speaker 12: owed to us, it's it's deserved. It's yeah, I mean,
- 1:58:45Speaker 12: it's it's a daily gift and you just never know
- 1:58:49Speaker 12: what's going to happen. So many days. At the end
- 1:58:51Speaker 12: of the day, I pray, thank God today wasn't the
- 1:58:53Speaker 12: worst day of my life. Thank God nothing happened where
- 1:58:56Speaker 12: friends or family were suddenly removed out of my life.
- 1:58:59Speaker 12: I mean, you just just when you look at life
- 1:59:01Speaker 12: as just a daily gift that I think allows us
- 1:59:04Speaker 12: to let the small stuff just kind of slide by
- 1:59:07Speaker 12: without us getting too worked up over it.
- 1:59:09Speaker 1: Beautiful philosophy, man, beautiful. All right, I'll tell you what
- 1:59:12Speaker 1: I'm gonna do. I'm not throwing a real curveball at you,
- 1:59:14Speaker 1: but I am going to change the order of things.
- 1:59:16Speaker 1: Given we've got Snowmageddon coming in, and assuming that we
- 1:59:19Speaker 1: do get Snowmageddon, I'm not asking you to predict exactly
- 1:59:23Speaker 1: where the hub delays will be, but it sounds to
- 1:59:25Speaker 1: me like we're going to have some travel challenges going
- 1:59:27Speaker 1: over the weekend. Day.
- 1:59:29Speaker 12: Well, I can do pretty good with that. I mean,
- 1:59:31Speaker 12: we know that this massive storm is set to create
- 1:59:34Speaker 12: a weekend to havoc across the country, and we're already
- 1:59:36Speaker 12: seeing airlines adjust their flight schedules Accordingly, we're looking at
- 1:59:40Speaker 12: twenty hours of freezing rain in Dallas, and that's going
- 1:59:43Speaker 12: to impact American airlines hub that's there, so we're seeing
- 1:59:46Speaker 12: some big issues there. The mess is expected in Houston
- 1:59:49Speaker 12: and that's a United hub, So we're seeing both of
- 1:59:52Speaker 12: these airlines cancel flights in advance. And as this storm
- 1:59:56Speaker 12: spreads across the country, you know through us from Memphis,
- 1:59:59Speaker 12: it throw us towards the northeast, we're looking at tens
- 2:00:01Speaker 12: of thousands of flights that are going to be going
- 2:00:03Speaker 12: to be impacted as well. Airlines have issued a weather
- 2:00:08Speaker 12: waiver that's for any passenger that's traveling to or through
- 2:00:10Speaker 12: any of these affected areas. If you want to change
- 2:00:13Speaker 12: your itinerary to travel at a different time, you can
- 2:00:16Speaker 12: do so absent a change fee. And I think it's
- 2:00:18Speaker 12: going to be so bad that it's actually going to
- 2:00:21Speaker 12: be something that's going to spill into Monday morning because
- 2:00:24Speaker 12: it's going to be a weekend event, and that's going
- 2:00:26Speaker 12: to prevent some aircraft from reaching their final destination on
- 2:00:30Speaker 12: Sunday night that makes up the Monday morning originators. So
- 2:00:34Speaker 12: it is going to be again just wall to wall
- 2:00:38Speaker 12: habit with everything that's going to be going on. And
- 2:00:41Speaker 12: if it's just snow, I mean airlines can operate in snow,
- 2:00:44Speaker 12: they just do it.
- 2:00:46Speaker 1: More slowly.
- 2:00:46Speaker 12: But when you're talking about three, four or five inches
- 2:00:49Speaker 12: of ice and those types of things, airlines are going
- 2:00:51Speaker 12: to cancel the flight because you're not going to put
- 2:00:53Speaker 12: an aircraft that could a go off a runway, off
- 2:00:55Speaker 12: of a taxiway, not be able to be under a
- 2:00:58Speaker 12: complete control on the tarmac. Those kinds of things can
- 2:01:01Speaker 12: really create a safety issue. Plus innvenience for passengers.
- 2:01:06Speaker 1: Yeah, well plus lifts.
- 2:01:10Speaker 7: What does the ice?
- 2:01:12Speaker 12: You're good to go? And but yeah, you know, the
- 2:01:14Speaker 12: whole point is that airlines see this storm coming and look,
- 2:01:18Speaker 12: I'm just glad it wasn't a month ago. Can you imagine,
- 2:01:20Speaker 12: you know, December twenty third, twenty fourth, we're talking about
- 2:01:23Speaker 12: this kind of storm, So thankfully it was now. But
- 2:01:26Speaker 12: airlines do a horrible job at customer service. But I
- 2:01:29Speaker 12: always have to give them high marks when it comes
- 2:01:32Speaker 12: to irregular operations and weather related events. They're they're going
- 2:01:35Speaker 12: to make sure that, look, if we need to cancel
- 2:01:37Speaker 12: this flight, let's do it so we can notify people
- 2:01:40Speaker 12: at home, so that you know, they don't get to
- 2:01:42Speaker 12: fight to get to the airport only to find out
- 2:01:44Speaker 12: the flight's been canceled. And sometimes it's just a matter
- 2:01:46Speaker 12: of an online reroute. You might be flying American Airlines
- 2:01:49Speaker 12: through Dallas and it's going to be a mess, and
- 2:01:52Speaker 12: they may say, well, Chicago's going to be less of
- 2:01:53Speaker 12: a mess. Let us route you through there. Because January
- 2:01:56Speaker 12: is not known as a busy, heavy travel month, so
- 2:01:59Speaker 12: is the real they might have some options. So, uh,
- 2:02:02Speaker 12: you know, American Airlines just rolled out this new app
- 2:02:04Speaker 12: that if your itinerary is impacted by any sort of
- 2:02:08Speaker 12: irregular operation, they send you a link. You click on
- 2:02:11Speaker 12: it and they give you a bunch of options as
- 2:02:12Speaker 12: far as what you want to do. Take this light,
- 2:02:14Speaker 12: this light or that flight cancel or if you need
- 2:02:17Speaker 12: to spend the night, here's something to click on to
- 2:02:19Speaker 12: get your hotel voucher. Oh you need transportation vouchers here
- 2:02:22Speaker 12: it is click on that. It's immediate, and it's just
- 2:02:25Speaker 12: great use of their new It's kind of an AI
- 2:02:29Speaker 12: type of thing, but it's great that Americans putting that
- 2:02:31Speaker 12: power in the palm of people's hands because in a
- 2:02:34Speaker 12: storm like this, I'm telling you it's going to come
- 2:02:35Speaker 12: in handy.
- 2:02:36Speaker 1: Well, we're almost out of time. We'll just go ahead
- 2:02:38Speaker 1: and call it early this time because it sounds cool,
- 2:02:41Speaker 1: but it sounds like a really really bad idea to mean,
- 2:02:44Speaker 1: flying cars getting ready to launch, and apparently ozempic is
- 2:02:48Speaker 1: saving the airlines millions or will be anyway more. With
- 2:02:51Speaker 1: iHeartMedia aviation expert Jay Rattlet's stagram.
- 2:02:54Speaker 11: Fifty five KRC dot com, you're one stop for advertising.
- 2:02:58Speaker 1: KRZ deep talk to face.
- 2:03:00Speaker 3: We've ever been in a cockpit before?
- 2:03:01Speaker 1: And well, of course yay Ratliff. Has I heard media
- 2:03:04Speaker 1: aviation expert. We get him every Thursday a few segments
- 2:03:07Speaker 1: talk aviation realities and this now, I initially my reaction
- 2:03:12Speaker 1: is oh cool. I've been reading about this my entire life.
- 2:03:14Speaker 1: It looks like flying cars, especially at the low low
- 2:03:17Speaker 1: price of forty thousand dollars, are getting ready to be delivered,
- 2:03:21Speaker 1: maybe as early as the second quarter of this year
- 2:03:23Speaker 1: by this new tech company. But you don't have to
- 2:03:27Speaker 1: be a pilot to fly one. And we're bad enough
- 2:03:30Speaker 1: out on the roads where we have speed limits and
- 2:03:33Speaker 1: lane signs and markers and stop signs. What in the
- 2:03:36Speaker 1: hell is the world going to look like if every Tom,
- 2:03:38Speaker 1: Dick and Harry has a flying car in their driveway?
- 2:03:41Speaker 12: Jay, It's gonna be interesting. I mean, this is the
- 2:03:46Speaker 12: Richter X four. The Richter X four has a list
- 2:03:49Speaker 12: price of thirty nine thousand nine dollars. That's what they're
- 2:03:52Speaker 12: saying is gonna be rolled out. It's a single passenger
- 2:03:55Speaker 12: electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft could use as are.
- 2:04:00Speaker 12: It's designed to make short range personal flights more accessible,
- 2:04:03Speaker 12: and they're saying more affordable. And the essence is the
- 2:04:07Speaker 12: top speed of this bad boy's fifty miles an hour,
- 2:04:09Speaker 12: so you don't have to worry about any top gun maneuvers,
- 2:04:11Speaker 12: maximum flight time with your electric battery, the payload capacity
- 2:04:19Speaker 12: to two hundred and twenty pounds, nothing more than that.
- 2:04:21Speaker 12: And again, as you mentioned, experimental aircraft, meaning the FAA
- 2:04:25Speaker 12: says no pilot license is required. And that's where the
- 2:04:28Speaker 12: fun or tear begins, depending on how you want to
- 2:04:30Speaker 12: look at it. Because I mean, we see road rage
- 2:04:33Speaker 12: every day. I can't imagine. I mean, it's just I
- 2:04:38Speaker 12: don't see this happening for quite a while.
- 2:04:40Speaker 4: Now.
- 2:04:40Speaker 12: What I do see happening is something that the technology
- 2:04:43Speaker 12: is very very close, and that's these air taxis or
- 2:04:45Speaker 12: air ubers, where you have a vehicle that lands in
- 2:04:50Speaker 12: your driveway, you climb in. It's a pre programmed off,
- 2:04:53Speaker 12: it flies you to your destination and lands. It's a
- 2:04:55Speaker 12: short range type of thing, but that way, it's pre
- 2:04:59Speaker 12: programmed specific flight path. Nothing is going to be directing
- 2:05:03Speaker 12: it into power lines, buildings, another vehicle or anything along
- 2:05:06Speaker 12: those lines. And that's where things are I think headed.
- 2:05:11Speaker 3: Now.
- 2:05:12Speaker 12: You know, I'm still waiting for Amazon to deliver my
- 2:05:14Speaker 12: pizza to the driveway with a drone, So we're not
- 2:05:16Speaker 12: there yet. So I suspect that it's gonna be wild
- 2:05:18Speaker 12: for these air taxis, but find there's several steps that
- 2:05:21Speaker 12: we're moving into that direction, and eventually that's going to
- 2:05:25Speaker 12: be the case. Airlines like Delta United American, they have
- 2:05:27Speaker 12: spent just a troum hundreds and hundreds of millions of
- 2:05:31Speaker 12: dollars investing in this technology for these air uber type things,
- 2:05:35Speaker 12: because they see those as things that will feed their
- 2:05:38Speaker 12: hubs in places like New York and Dallas and Houston
- 2:05:41Speaker 12: to bring people from areas around the airport straight to
- 2:05:45Speaker 12: the airport where you don't have to mess with the
- 2:05:48Speaker 12: hassle of parking and all the traffic.
- 2:05:50Speaker 1: Well, I can only see this resulting in immediate legislation
- 2:05:54Speaker 1: to the extent these things become readily available. There's no
- 2:05:56Speaker 1: way they're going to let us just fly around without
- 2:06:01Speaker 1: some kind of rules of regulations and licensing. We'll wait
- 2:06:04Speaker 1: popcorns out.
- 2:06:06Speaker 12: Imagine implying to like a Bengals game, and then the
- 2:06:08Speaker 12: state of people after the game when they're trying to
- 2:06:10Speaker 12: fly those things, no, thank.
- 2:06:14Speaker 1: You, especially after a tailgate party.
- 2:06:17Speaker 10: Exactly my thought.
- 2:06:19Speaker 1: All right, moving over, I thought this was comical. I
- 2:06:21Speaker 1: didn't read the article. I just saw your headline. Weight
- 2:06:23Speaker 1: loss drugs could actually save airlines five and eighty dollars
- 2:06:28Speaker 1: a year, a little side benefit from the ozempic class drugs.
- 2:06:31Speaker 12: I guess that's exactly it. There was a study that
- 2:06:34Speaker 12: was put out by Jeffries, they're a financial services firm,
- 2:06:38Speaker 12: and they said, look, the four largest airlines American, Delta, Southwest,
- 2:06:42Speaker 12: United could save collectively that five hundred and eighty million
- 2:06:46Speaker 12: or more on fuel thanks to those those drug related
- 2:06:50Speaker 12: you know things that are going just going crazy right now.
- 2:06:53Speaker 12: And they're saying less fuel means lighter passengers, which means
- 2:06:57Speaker 12: the airlines can use less fuel to get the planes
- 2:07:00Speaker 12: to their destination and they can make even more money. Now,
- 2:07:04Speaker 12: the fun part would be if they were going to
- 2:07:07Speaker 12: reward us we're losing that weight by lowering our fares,
- 2:07:10Speaker 12: but we both know that's not going to happen. United
- 2:07:13Speaker 12: in Delta just now, they recently both reported their quarterly
- 2:07:17Speaker 12: profit of more than a billion dollars in a quarter. Now,
- 2:07:23Speaker 12: I mean, when you think about the history of aviation,
- 2:07:26Speaker 12: the idea of a making any money in a year
- 2:07:28Speaker 12: was unbelievable. If you made a billion in a year,
- 2:07:32Speaker 12: it was historic. And now they're rolling these things out
- 2:07:35Speaker 12: quarterly because the credit card stuff. You and I've talked
- 2:07:37Speaker 12: about before. But remember, no airline would have made any
- 2:07:41Speaker 12: money in twenty twenty four absent of their credit card agreement.
- 2:07:44Speaker 12: So when you see the airlines are making that and
- 2:07:48Speaker 12: now an extra five hundred and eighty million dollars collectively
- 2:07:50Speaker 12: on top because we're losing weight, just doesn't seem fair.
- 2:07:55Speaker 1: I guess the one benefit to the consumer, the larger
- 2:07:58Speaker 1: among us won't have to buy two seats anymore if
- 2:08:01Speaker 1: they stick with the ozempeic and lose the weight.
- 2:08:03Speaker 12: Well, yeah, in airlines continue to kind of amend their
- 2:08:06Speaker 12: their plus size passenger policy becoming a little bit more
- 2:08:10Speaker 12: hard to work with, and you know, the airline seats
- 2:08:14Speaker 12: keep getting smaller. And that's the other thing with wait
- 2:08:16Speaker 12: and balance on an aircraft. As soon as somebody comes
- 2:08:18Speaker 12: out with a seat as FAA approved, crash resistant and
- 2:08:22Speaker 12: all the things we have to have that's lighter than
- 2:08:25Speaker 12: what's being used, airlines is going to use it. Oh yeah,
- 2:08:27Speaker 12: it may be a whole lot less comfortable, but you know,
- 2:08:30Speaker 12: if you're only on the plane two three, four hours,
- 2:08:32Speaker 12: what's the big deal. It's better than a you know,
- 2:08:35Speaker 12: perhaps a wooden pew at church or a bus seat,
- 2:08:38Speaker 12: So why not let's throw them in there so you know, Waiting,
- 2:08:41Speaker 12: balance is everything on this stuff, and I don't know.
- 2:08:43Speaker 12: We'll see where all it goes.
- 2:08:45Speaker 1: We will, and coming up to the next segment, we'll
- 2:08:47Speaker 1: learn if luf ponza's new rules regarding lithium battery are
- 2:08:52Speaker 1: good and if we will learn something from those those
- 2:08:55Speaker 1: things freak me out, Jay Ratliff anymore. After all your
- 2:08:57Speaker 1: stories on those lithium batteries got more other. I got
- 2:08:59Speaker 1: a a lot of other stories to talk about it.
- 2:09:01Speaker 1: I don't think we're going to get through all of them.
- 2:09:02Speaker 1: We'll give it our best. One more with Jay ratlift
- 2:09:05Speaker 1: stick around fifty five the talk station caresee the talk
- 2:09:10Speaker 1: station Happy Friday, Eve Tomorrow Tech Friday with Dave hat
- 2:09:13Speaker 1: Or Jack Windsor returns as well. And in the meantime,
- 2:09:17Speaker 1: I heart me the aviation expert Jay Ratliff bluss to
- 2:09:20Speaker 1: have them for a full three segments on a Thursday.
- 2:09:22Speaker 1: And what's with Loftanza. They are dealing with the whole
- 2:09:25Speaker 1: concept of lithium battery powered devices, which you have brought
- 2:09:29Speaker 1: to my attention more than one occasion, freaking me out.
- 2:09:32Speaker 1: Those things catch on fire. We all know about that.
- 2:09:34Speaker 1: But oh lo and behold, what if someone stowed one
- 2:09:37Speaker 1: away in a baggage compartment down below the plane. You
- 2:09:41Speaker 1: got a problem on that when they're not supposed to
- 2:09:42Speaker 1: go there. So how did Luftonza is how is Luftanzo
- 2:09:44Speaker 1: approaching this new rule?
- 2:09:47Speaker 12: When you look at some of the YouTube videos and
- 2:09:49Speaker 12: things that are out there that show how fast these
- 2:09:52Speaker 12: electronic lithium power devices smolder and ignite, I mean it's
- 2:09:56Speaker 12: almost instantaneous. So Luthan's is saying for those passengers that
- 2:10:00Speaker 12: are bringing the power pack devices onto their plane that
- 2:10:04Speaker 12: you use to charge your devices, one you can't bring
- 2:10:07Speaker 12: any more than two. The second thing is you cannot
- 2:10:10Speaker 12: use them during the course of the flight.
- 2:10:12Speaker 3: Three.
- 2:10:13Speaker 12: They are not to go into the overhead storage compartment.
- 2:10:14Speaker 12: They're to be under your seat or in the seat
- 2:10:16Speaker 12: pocket in front of you. The reason for that is
- 2:10:19Speaker 12: they want them to be visually there so that if
- 2:10:24Speaker 12: they start to smolder, the passenger will know about it immediately,
- 2:10:28Speaker 12: they can notify the flight attendant. If it's in the
- 2:10:30Speaker 12: overhead storage compartment, it could smolder for a period of
- 2:10:33Speaker 12: time and it actually catch fire before anybody's aware of
- 2:10:36Speaker 12: what's going on. So that's what's Slufonza, which is copying
- 2:10:41Speaker 12: a lot of what other airlines have been doing. And Brian,
- 2:10:44Speaker 12: all you've got to do is is google the image
- 2:10:46Speaker 12: of air Boossan that's BUSAM and you can see what's
- 2:10:50Speaker 12: left of an airplane that was at the gate when
- 2:10:53Speaker 12: they were boarding when one of these electronic devices caught
- 2:10:55Speaker 12: on fire. For the most part, the entire top of
- 2:10:59Speaker 12: the aircraft, the tail is gone. Oh jeez, now that's
- 2:11:02Speaker 12: from a lithium battery fire at the gate. Thank god
- 2:11:04Speaker 12: it was at the gate and it wasn't an aircraft
- 2:11:07Speaker 12: that was in.
- 2:11:07Speaker 1: The in the air and I'm looking at it right down.
- 2:11:11Speaker 12: When you see that picture and you know that we
- 2:11:14Speaker 12: are knowingly being okay with bringing these devices on and
- 2:11:18Speaker 12: then please pray to God none of these ever reached
- 2:11:21Speaker 12: the cargo compartment. It just shows how dangerous these things are.
- 2:11:25Speaker 12: And it's a situation where we continue to say safety
- 2:11:30Speaker 12: is are number one priority, but we're gonna allow you
- 2:11:32Speaker 12: to bring these things on board. And look, I understand
- 2:11:34Speaker 12: their phones. I understand that they're tablets. I understand that
- 2:11:37Speaker 12: they're things that people will not travel without. But when
- 2:11:40Speaker 12: you recognize the danger of these things represent and how
- 2:11:44Speaker 12: many times we talk about it, and there's almost one
- 2:11:46Speaker 12: a week somewhere in the world where these things are happening,
- 2:11:49Speaker 12: it's just it becomes more and more scary. And I'm
- 2:11:52Speaker 12: just hoping that we can reach the point where, yes,
- 2:11:55Speaker 12: we can have better on board procedures for making sure
- 2:11:58Speaker 12: that we've got fire suppression and flight attendants are trained
- 2:12:01Speaker 12: now to be firefighters so that they can combat these
- 2:12:04Speaker 12: things so that it doesn't kill everybody on board a flight.
- 2:12:07Speaker 12: It's also the reason if one of these electronic devices
- 2:12:10Speaker 12: get stuck in a seat where nobody can reach it,
- 2:12:12Speaker 12: the crew will make an emergency land to get at
- 2:12:15Speaker 12: the nearest airport. In case it starts to smolder and
- 2:12:17Speaker 12: catch fire, they can't reach it to put it out.
- 2:12:20Speaker 12: It's going to spread. And even though you have fire
- 2:12:22Speaker 12: resistant material throughout the cabin and it's designed that way,
- 2:12:27Speaker 12: you still have the very real possibility that these things
- 2:12:29Speaker 12: could be an issue. So it's it's one of those
- 2:12:33Speaker 12: things that you just wonder, you know, how long it's
- 2:12:36Speaker 12: going to be for somebody's going to get hurt with
- 2:12:37Speaker 12: these things, and these continue to be one of the
- 2:12:40Speaker 12: topics that we are forced to talk about.
- 2:12:42Speaker 1: Well, you know, I've been in situations where you're not
- 2:12:44Speaker 1: allowed to have a cell phone. You put it in
- 2:12:46Speaker 1: one of those Faraday bags and you hold that with you,
- 2:12:48Speaker 1: and that doesn't seem like much of an ask when
- 2:12:51Speaker 1: you're talking about the massive loss of life that one
- 2:12:53Speaker 1: of these batteries can cause. You got a device, put
- 2:12:56Speaker 1: it in the Faraday bag, or put it in the
- 2:12:57Speaker 1: flame proof bag and maybe if you're using it at
- 2:13:00Speaker 1: least it'll be out and you'll be able to tell
- 2:13:02Speaker 1: when it's smoldering, throw it right back in the bag.
- 2:13:04Speaker 1: But all things must be in a fire resistant bag
- 2:13:07Speaker 1: unless it's being actively used.
- 2:13:08Speaker 12: Maybe that'd work well anything, but you know, when you
- 2:13:12Speaker 12: tell people that they can't use their phone, it's like
- 2:13:14Speaker 12: telling them they need to wear a mask.
- 2:13:15Speaker 3: It's gonna be tough because.
- 2:13:18Speaker 12: You know, somebody puts their phone down, the next person
- 2:13:20Speaker 12: next to them, hey, you need to put your and
- 2:13:22Speaker 12: that's just gonna have all all this on board stuff
- 2:13:24Speaker 12: as people try to help police that type of situation. Yes,
- 2:13:29Speaker 12: it may be to your advance, to your comment, putting
- 2:13:32Speaker 12: something in the seatback pocket that we can put the
- 2:13:35Speaker 12: phones into in the event they start to overheat. But
- 2:13:38Speaker 12: then who's going to pay for those bags to be
- 2:13:39Speaker 12: on the plane? And airlines are into it. I mean,
- 2:13:41Speaker 12: they're incredibly cheap. They're absolutely not going to so I
- 2:13:45Speaker 12: don't know.
- 2:13:46Speaker 1: It just seems like preventative measures that might save massive
- 2:13:51Speaker 1: loss of life and end up landing them in a
- 2:13:54Speaker 1: multi multi million dollar litigation. It seems to me, put
- 2:13:57Speaker 1: that little money up front, don't pay it to the plane.
- 2:13:59Speaker 1: Ifs who are dad put on bags or something that's
- 2:14:03Speaker 1: like putting it.
- 2:14:03Speaker 12: It's like putting an EpiPen in the onboard medical kit,
- 2:14:07Speaker 12: which airlines do not do. So many times passengers have
- 2:14:10Speaker 12: had issues with allergies and they stop breathing and thank God,
- 2:14:13Speaker 12: a passenger aboard a plane has an EpiPen that is
- 2:14:16Speaker 12: given to a medical professional that it's administered because you know,
- 2:14:19Speaker 12: those EpiPens have a shelf life of what eighteen months
- 2:14:21Speaker 12: or something, I don't know, and airlines are not gonna,
- 2:14:23Speaker 12: you know, spend that much money to put them on
- 2:14:25Speaker 12: an airplane. Yeah, safety is are number one priority, right,
- 2:14:28Speaker 12: isn't that what they billion get written down here?
- 2:14:30Speaker 1: Somewhere billion dollars in one quarter, Jay Ratliff, billion dollars
- 2:14:34Speaker 1: in a quarter. All right, let's end on what I
- 2:14:36Speaker 1: think will be a more positive note than than than
- 2:14:39Speaker 1: then wheels falling off airplanes in Orlando. What about this
- 2:14:42Speaker 1: sleeper row that's so hot again? Going back to Luftonza, Yeah,
- 2:14:46Speaker 1: Luthana rolled something out.
- 2:14:48Speaker 12: It was a couple of years ago, but it's really
- 2:14:50Speaker 12: starting to catch on. It's a sleeper road in essence,
- 2:14:53Speaker 12: when you're on a flight. This is the German carrier Lothonsa.
- 2:14:56Speaker 12: When you're in one of their flights it's eleven hours
- 2:14:58Speaker 12: or more and you're checking in, you can actually ask
- 2:15:02Speaker 12: the gate agent, look, I'd like to grab an entire
- 2:15:06Speaker 12: road to myself so that you can pay for the
- 2:15:09Speaker 12: seats that maybe three or four across. You get them
- 2:15:12Speaker 12: at a discount and you then have, you know, the
- 2:15:16Speaker 12: whole road to yourself. It comes with a thin mattress,
- 2:15:19Speaker 12: a blanket, a pillow. You can lay down to sleep
- 2:15:21Speaker 12: the whole time if you want, because remember, airline seats
- 2:15:24Speaker 12: are perishable. Once the door closes, the airlines lose their revenue.
- 2:15:27Speaker 12: But look, the aircraft's only seventy five percent full. Let's
- 2:15:29Speaker 12: say fourth of those seats unsold. So airlines like, man,
- 2:15:32Speaker 12: what can we do to raise more money? And they're
- 2:15:33Speaker 12: really good at this, and they say, well, let's just
- 2:15:36Speaker 12: sell the whole road to people. And that's what they've
- 2:15:38Speaker 12: started doing, and it's really catching on now. I still
- 2:15:41Speaker 12: laugh thinking back of the days when the air you know,
- 2:15:43Speaker 12: we had fifty five percent load factors and if you
- 2:15:45Speaker 12: got the whole road to yourself, you could lay down
- 2:15:47Speaker 12: to sleep without it costing you money. But now they
- 2:15:50Speaker 12: found a way to make even more and this is
- 2:15:53Speaker 12: really catching on. So for people that we just want
- 2:15:55Speaker 12: to work and have extra room to put their stuff around,
- 2:15:58Speaker 12: it's working out well. And but for people that want
- 2:16:01Speaker 12: to lay down in the sleep that they can do it.
- 2:16:03Speaker 12: So that's all in Luton's. If you happen to be
- 2:16:05Speaker 12: on a flight of theirs, it's eleven hours or more, eleven.
- 2:16:07Speaker 1: Hours or more and probably comes at a premium.
- 2:16:09Speaker 12: Price, Jay, Well, but not as much as it would
- 2:16:12Speaker 12: cost to sit in first class and have the lay
- 2:16:14Speaker 12: down seats. You're going to get a discount here, So
- 2:16:17Speaker 12: that's how they sell it.
- 2:16:19Speaker 7: And you know, it's just it's nice.
- 2:16:21Speaker 12: I mean when you don't have anybody sitting next to
- 2:16:22Speaker 12: you and you need work or you just want to rest,
- 2:16:24Speaker 12: or you don't want to get up when they have
- 2:16:25Speaker 12: to go to the to the down to the laboratory.
- 2:16:27Speaker 12: That works great too, but you know, yeah, something Look
- 2:16:30Speaker 12: when Elizabeth Taylor used to fly, she'd buy every seat
- 2:16:33Speaker 12: in first class and just sit up there by herself.
- 2:16:34Speaker 12: So I guess it depends on what you want to do.
- 2:16:38Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's me. Makes Elizabeth Taylor sound like, well,
- 2:16:41Speaker 1: I'm not even going to say it out loud. We
- 2:16:42Speaker 1: do have the FCCD.
- 2:16:43Speaker 12: We've been a very very nice person.
- 2:16:44Speaker 1: Maybe yeah whatever, Ellie, exclusive don't want to be bothered
- 2:16:48Speaker 1: with the common people. Jay Ratliff love having you on
- 2:16:52Speaker 1: board first right, that's right.
- 2:16:55Speaker 12: Walking by him and talk to them.
- 2:16:56Speaker 1: Yeah, and the best of luck with your trading week,
- 2:16:59Speaker 1: my friend and I will look forward to having another
- 2:17:02Speaker 1: discussion with you next Thursday. Man, best of health and
