- 0:57Speaker 2: Carssey Morning Show. Thanks for the rundown, Joe. Big Picture
- 0:59Speaker 2: with Jack Keather and every Wednesday at seven oh five
- 1:02Speaker 2: is anything incorruptible?
- 1:06Speaker 1: How about no.
- 1:08Speaker 2: Jack will dive in deep on that one? Coming up
- 1:10Speaker 2: at seven oh five, as is typically the case after
- 1:13Speaker 2: Jack Avid in Donovan a deal from Americans Per Prosperity
- 1:15Speaker 2: senior advisor there AFP Action. We got an affordability agenda.
- 1:20Speaker 2: Of course, I ran into affordability agenda yesterday. Five dollars
- 1:27Speaker 2: for gasoline. Yeah, I know, I pump for you might
- 1:32Speaker 2: I understand that it's going to be more expensive than
- 1:34Speaker 2: regular regulars up like a buck four dollars at a
- 1:37Speaker 2: lot of tristy locations, as has been reported locally. Checkout
- 1:40Speaker 2: gas buddy. Now there are places that still have it
- 1:42Speaker 2: in the kind of mid threes, but you're at there's
- 1:46Speaker 2: let's see Fox nineteen reporting you've got four dollars most
- 1:50Speaker 2: places gas Buddy four dollars and nine cents in Clifton
- 1:54Speaker 2: four nineteen for regular at Shell at Suspension Bridge Road.
- 1:58Speaker 2: You'd probably go to that place on Camarket, Joe, we
- 2:00Speaker 2: should check out that place our Camargo, But it's like
- 2:02Speaker 2: nineteen dollars a gallon over there on that that crazy
- 2:05Speaker 2: crazy gas stasue where the prize is always just outrageous cheapest.
- 2:10Speaker 2: They found as the last even three dollars and twenty
- 2:12Speaker 2: seven cents at a speedway at State Route old State
- 2:15Speaker 2: Route sixty four. So Ohio and Kentucky average gas lower
- 2:20Speaker 2: than the national average. So if you're looking for some
- 2:22Speaker 2: you know, bright points in all of this national average
- 2:24Speaker 2: currently three dollars and ninety eight cents. Again according to
- 2:27Speaker 2: gas budd you have to check it again. This morning's
- 2:28Speaker 2: probably beyond that four dollars and ninety nine cents yesterday
- 2:32Speaker 2: for premium at the gas station across from the Towers
- 2:35Speaker 2: of Kenwood yesterday got shocked me so. But anyway, that
- 2:39Speaker 2: going back to Donald and Neil affordability agenda groceries, we
- 2:43Speaker 2: will talk about groceries because grocery inflation obviously in the
- 2:49Speaker 2: indicative of a broader economic problem we got going on,
- 2:52Speaker 2: and brace yourself for it, widely unpopular, as we'll talk
- 2:57Speaker 2: about this morning. The go war that's going on right
- 3:01Speaker 2: now going to have a profound impact on food prices
- 3:04Speaker 2: and global starvation has been commented on regularly by the
- 3:08Speaker 2: plundits out there because just so much fertilizer is manufactured
- 3:13Speaker 2: in the area and must go through the strade of
- 3:14Speaker 2: horn Moves, which of course is currently on mostly shut down.
- 3:20Speaker 2: So I'm thinking it could get worse. We'll get AFPs
- 3:22Speaker 2: stodded into a common affordability across the board that at
- 3:25Speaker 2: seven point thirty, coming up at eight oh five and
- 3:27Speaker 2: empower you some of our Tom Haggittorn is going to
- 3:31Speaker 2: be diving into the update on socialist effort to change America. Hmm,
- 3:39Speaker 2: he said, Well, over one hundred years ago, socialist thinkers
- 3:41Speaker 2: developed an extensive plan aimed at gaining control over the
- 3:43Speaker 2: major institutions of Western society. Well, they sure succeeded with
- 3:47Speaker 2: our education institutions, haven't they. That frightening. Frightening statistic from
- 3:55Speaker 2: the poll that was done on young people say the
- 4:00Speaker 2: twenty to twenty nine year olds embracing socialism and have
- 4:04Speaker 2: a positive perception of socialism relative to capitalism. That's a
- 4:08Speaker 2: growing phenomenon. Of course, there's your education system in doctrinating
- 4:11Speaker 2: our children into something that is obviously a train wreck
- 4:14Speaker 2: of a political philosophy. See the history of the world. Anyway,
- 4:19Speaker 2: said a central component of the strategy education system, spanning
- 4:22Speaker 2: from kindergarten all the way through graduate professional schools, to
- 4:25Speaker 2: use education as a primary tool to shape future generations
- 4:28Speaker 2: and influence societal norms and values. Yep, it's an indoctrination
- 4:32Speaker 2: camp without the free flow and for the free exercise
- 4:37Speaker 2: and exchange of ideas. You are stuck with this sort
- 4:40Speaker 2: of It's like global warming. The experts say this is fact,
- 4:43Speaker 2: and you cannot refute it. Well, that's pretty much what
- 4:46Speaker 2: you get in K through twelve and you weren't also
- 4:48Speaker 2: college education. No, socialism is better capitalism evil er. They
- 4:54Speaker 2: never really back up one step, do they and explain
- 4:56Speaker 2: where the money generated to fund all these socialist efforts
- 4:59Speaker 2: and all three distribution and feeding people creator to grave?
- 5:03Speaker 2: Where did that money come from?
- 5:06Speaker 1: Right?
- 5:06Speaker 2: Capitalism? Yeah, and amid all the things that we are
- 5:11Speaker 2: involved with right now, we the United States of America
- 5:13Speaker 2: has been going on that like for a long long time.
- 5:15Speaker 2: I mean, our relationship with the NATO countries for example,
- 5:19Speaker 2: you know, on full display with this whole military problem.
- 5:21Speaker 2: You know, Donald Trump and his mandate that they put
- 5:23Speaker 2: pony up five percent of their GDP to defend themselves
- 5:26Speaker 2: because those evil capitalists in the United States of America
- 5:30Speaker 2: took on the role of being the police department for
- 5:32Speaker 2: all of Western Europe for the past number of decades,
- 5:36Speaker 2: relieving them of their obligations so they can pursue their
- 5:38Speaker 2: socialist agenda. Why because we paid for their military we did,
- 5:47Speaker 2: and say we went about sanctions tariffs rather you know,
- 5:54Speaker 2: oh my god, they have an inflationary Okay, fine, but
- 5:57Speaker 2: you know, when you look at the playing field that
- 6:00Speaker 2: Trump was trying to flatten out with his tariff agenda.
- 6:05Speaker 1: You see that.
- 6:05Speaker 2: You know, we were paying a lot of money in
- 6:07Speaker 2: tariffs for our imports to their countries, while they weren't
- 6:12Speaker 2: struggling to dig in with the same sort of reciprocal tariffs.
- 6:15Speaker 2: That is, our money benefiting them, so they can go
- 6:18Speaker 2: on their married socialists way and make it look like
- 6:20Speaker 2: it works. And I move over to Cube again. I
- 6:24Speaker 2: commented on this yesterday. You know, oh my god, Cuba
- 6:26Speaker 2: is a nightmare of a country. It's starvation, poverty, and
- 6:30Speaker 2: of course a lot of corruption. It's a proof that
- 6:34Speaker 2: that system of government, call it socialism, call it communism,
- 6:38Speaker 2: doesn't work. Well, that's because you sanctioned them and cut
- 6:40Speaker 2: them off. Well, the rest of the world's free to
- 6:42Speaker 2: trade with them if they want. We have our own policies,
- 6:44Speaker 2: our own tactics, and we do not have to trade
- 6:46Speaker 2: with Cuba. And we can say things to our fellow
- 6:49Speaker 2: our allies that you know what, we don't want you
- 6:50Speaker 2: to trade with that common country. Either you can choose to,
- 6:54Speaker 2: you know, go along with us, or you can go
- 6:56Speaker 2: along with them. Much to distegranted with Cubans, most of
- 6:59Speaker 2: the world and our economic partners tend to side with
- 7:02Speaker 2: the United States. Why evil capitalism makes them more money? Hm,
- 7:08Speaker 2: Margaret Thatcher, you know, eventually the problem of socialism and
- 7:10Speaker 2: you run out of other people's money. The other people's
- 7:12Speaker 2: money that you run out of are people who engage
- 7:14Speaker 2: in capitalism and make fat bank off of it. God
- 7:18Speaker 2: love them for it. Thank you for the salaries that
- 7:20Speaker 2: you've provided me, you evil capitalists, over the years, because
- 7:22Speaker 2: I don't know how to start a business. And you know, again,
- 7:32Speaker 2: it's all built on this perception that it's okay, it's justified,
- 7:36Speaker 2: moral appropriate to take the property, slash money of some
- 7:42Speaker 2: other person merely because they will happen to be a
- 7:45Speaker 2: little bit more successful at least if you've used success
- 7:47Speaker 2: in terms of monetary gain. Just because I think about
- 7:52Speaker 2: this in terms of the death text, just because you die,
- 7:55Speaker 2: they can come in, the government can come in and
- 7:57Speaker 2: take as much as they want. How does one justify that, Well,
- 8:03Speaker 2: they're dead, uh huh. And we have concepts of private
- 8:07Speaker 2: ownership and private property and wealth accumulation. It is the
- 8:11Speaker 2: estates money and as a living person, you can make
- 8:16Speaker 2: plans to where that money is going to be distributed.
- 8:18Speaker 2: After you pass. That's called a will right. You can
- 8:21Speaker 2: put it in a trust. It's your right. And yet
- 8:26Speaker 2: for whatever reason, it's just it's not even an argument
- 8:29Speaker 2: is raised about the immorality of just the government coming
- 8:33Speaker 2: in and grabbing a sizable chunk just because well, pick
- 8:38Speaker 2: an arbitrary number, just because it exceeds whatever fill in
- 8:42Speaker 2: the black arbitrary number our elected officials have decided they
- 8:46Speaker 2: get to take more over. Oh, if you if you
- 8:48Speaker 2: have an estate more than x, like a million dollars,
- 8:51Speaker 2: then we're coming in and taking seventy five percent of it.
- 8:53Speaker 2: Why present a moral justification for that, and don't tell me, well,
- 8:58Speaker 2: it's because we need more revenue and govern because we
- 9:00Speaker 2: need to fund these government programs, which another road I
- 9:04Speaker 2: could go down and probably spend four hours talking about
- 9:06Speaker 2: how effective of these programs been. How much effort have
- 9:10Speaker 2: you placed toward ending or to preventing fraud, waste abuse
- 9:13Speaker 2: in those programs which you think are so important to
- 9:15Speaker 2: the American people. You've taken the money from us over
- 9:18Speaker 2: our objections perhaps, and you haven't done a wits worth
- 9:23Speaker 2: of effort in order to see that that money gets
- 9:26Speaker 2: a better return on investment. Like starting out with the
- 9:29Speaker 2: idea that you can't engage in fraud, wasted abuse, and
- 9:31Speaker 2: putting up impediments to be having that happen. So no
- 9:35Speaker 2: moral justification to taking the money, and then no ability
- 9:38Speaker 2: to defend the programs because we all know that they
- 9:40Speaker 2: have not been successful. See the past number of decades,
- 9:44Speaker 2: going back to let's say Great Society programs. You know,
- 9:46Speaker 2: they're all supposed to end poverty as we know it. Yeah,
- 9:48Speaker 2: it's going to happen. No, no, no, it hasn't. Trillions
- 9:52Speaker 2: of dollars spent, and apparently the problem has only gotten worse.
- 9:56Speaker 2: The number of people on social welfare has only increased. Well,
- 10:01Speaker 2: going back to socialism, they view that as success. More
- 10:08Speaker 2: people giving up on the idea that they're on their
- 10:10Speaker 2: own in this world, that they need to make their
- 10:11Speaker 2: way on their own. They can just hook themselves up
- 10:13Speaker 2: to the biblical court of government. Everything is going to
- 10:15Speaker 2: be fine. And once they're there, we've got them for good.
- 10:18Speaker 2: Oh we've created another little government dependent socialist person who
- 10:23Speaker 2: can stand up and argue, I suppose without any factual
- 10:28Speaker 2: predicate or ethical predicate, that's just aoka to take other
- 10:33Speaker 2: people's money so they can live without having to participate,
- 10:38Speaker 2: and I'll even interject able bodied individuals of working age
- 10:42Speaker 2: going back to work requirements for certain social welfare programs.
- 10:45Speaker 2: Isn't that the right and appropriate thing to do, since
- 10:48Speaker 2: the justification for those programs was based on a temporary
- 10:51Speaker 2: need for assistance to get them over the hill until
- 10:54Speaker 2: they start participating in a capitalist environment and earning for themselves,
- 11:00Speaker 2: and along with earning for themselves, earning the right to
- 11:02Speaker 2: complain about overtaxation and the quality of services government has
- 11:07Speaker 2: provided in return for their confiscatory taxation. Five sixteen right now,
- 11:10Speaker 2: fifty five kr CD talk station. Where did that come from?
- 11:14Speaker 2: A bit of a role there? Oh yeah, I forgot.

- 11:21Speaker 2: are judge the Fall of time. It is Wednesday, eight

- 11:38Speaker 1: Good morning.
- 11:39Speaker 2: My friend Steve's comment in the price of gasoline in
- 11:42Speaker 2: the Greater Cincinnati area, which, obviously, like the rest of
- 11:45Speaker 2: the nation has gone up substantially. At least we're not
- 11:49Speaker 2: in Munich. Joe, what do you think the gasoline price
- 11:51Speaker 2: for gallon is in Munich? Ten euros? Well even pretty close?
- 11:57Speaker 2: I guess I can't rememberho the exchange rate is right
- 11:59Speaker 2: now in Europe follow that eight dollars and seven cents
- 12:02Speaker 2: per gallon and Munich, says Steve. And good morning Steve.
- 12:04Speaker 2: Who's listening through the iHeartMedia app. You don't have that,
- 12:06Speaker 2: get at fifty five cars dot com, where you can
- 12:08Speaker 2: also enjoy podcasts from prior programs at the Daniel Davis
- 12:12Speaker 2: Deep Dive. Not an optimistic guy when it comes to
- 12:14Speaker 2: the military efforts in Iran and polling data out really
- 12:18Speaker 2: really not looking good for the Trump administration. On that note,
- 12:22Speaker 2: so yesterday also Colum Adine, Breitbart's tech editor AI Seminar

- 12:38Speaker 2: Youamerica dot org. The wonderful Sarah Herringer the weight of
- 12:42Speaker 2: the World on her Shoulders husband stabbed to death in
- 12:44Speaker 2: their apartment, leading to the Sarah Herringer Act, which she
- 12:47Speaker 2: went to Columbus to testify about yesterday. Yes, how about
- 12:50Speaker 2: real time monitoring for criminals who have GPS ankle bracelets,
- 12:55Speaker 2: some who are inclined to cut them off and run
- 12:57Speaker 2: them up for months before law enforcement evens had notified
- 13:00Speaker 2: of their existence. And quite often they get notified because
- 13:03Speaker 2: that person who cut their ankle monitor off and started
- 13:05Speaker 2: running them up committed a crime, and some tastes murdered someone.
- 13:11Speaker 2: Rest in peace, Patrick Herringer. So that's all there. And
- 13:14Speaker 2: also Tom z Awastowski from We the People Convention dot
- 13:17Speaker 2: Org with the constitutional Amendment which would largely render the
- 13:22Speaker 2: ness and the need to pass the Save Act boot. Okay,
- 13:26Speaker 2: And going back to my comments and sort of a
- 13:28Speaker 2: stream of consciousness tear about socialism social welfare programs. Here's one.
- 13:34Speaker 2: You know, we all know what's going on in Minnesota. Yeah,
- 13:37Speaker 2: leering centers and among others, massive, massive billions and billions
- 13:42Speaker 2: of dollars a fraud. But how about Rob Undersander, who
- 13:46Speaker 2: in the hell is Rob Understander? Well, he was testifying
- 13:48Speaker 2: yesterday in front of Minnesota lawmakers about SNAP benefits. Rob
- 13:52Speaker 2: happens to be a retired engineer and he volunteers to
- 13:55Speaker 2: help seniors navigate government benefits systems. He knows the system.
- 14:00Speaker 2: He's also quite wealthy, but he doesn't draw a huge income.
- 14:08Speaker 2: I think he is a retired engineer, so you know,
- 14:11Speaker 2: when you have built up massive assets behind the scenes,
- 14:14Speaker 2: your income is based upon what you draw out of
- 14:17Speaker 2: your retirement savings. So he doesn't really draw that much out.
- 14:21Speaker 2: And SNAP benefits in Minnesota are based on income only,
- 14:24Speaker 2: not assets. So what did he do? He applied for
- 14:29Speaker 2: SNAP benefits, recognizing the glaring hole there is in the system.
- 14:33Speaker 2: Approved within weeks, he said. He collected thousands of dollars
- 14:37Speaker 2: of SNAP benefits over more than a year, which he
- 14:39Speaker 2: did donate the charity. I strongly support SNAP benefits for
- 14:42Speaker 2: truly needy individuals, he said. But when we have nearly
- 14:46Speaker 2: one in seven Americans receiving food support and the wealthiest
- 14:49Speaker 2: nation on Earth with historically low unemployment rates, something is wrong. Yeah,
- 14:53Speaker 2: there is something wrong. One might call the current eligibility
- 14:58Speaker 2: rules fraud buy design, you said, And given the current
- 15:05Speaker 2: climate of fraud and abuse of taxpayer funded benefits of Minnesota,
- 15:08Speaker 2: I'm hoping that there will be a new bipartisan effort
- 15:11Speaker 2: to reduce and eliminate both. Shouldn't this be the ultimate
- 15:13Speaker 2: by parties an effort Democrats can curl about how this
- 15:17Speaker 2: will save social welfare programs, and of course Republicans can
- 15:21Speaker 2: talk about how they've gotten rid of fraud, waste, and abuse.
- 15:23Speaker 2: So anyway, so they had a Minnesota House Public Safety
- 15:27Speaker 2: Committee hearing yesterday on this. I guess he was testifying there.
- 15:30Speaker 2: The new bill that they were talking about to tighten
- 15:32Speaker 2: SNAP benefits would tighten eligibility rules for food stamps by
- 15:36Speaker 2: requiring stricter income and asset verification. So listen, if you've
- 15:39Speaker 2: got a huge pile of money behind the scenes, and
- 15:42Speaker 2: you could certainly live off that and feed yourself on that,
- 15:44Speaker 2: then we're going to consider that before we start approving
- 15:46Speaker 2: SNAP benefits. Isn't that right? Isn't that the way it
- 15:49Speaker 2: should be? Minnesota distributed nearly seven hundred and twenty five
- 15:53Speaker 2: million benefits in twenty twenty, like, well, that's not much,
- 15:56Speaker 2: you know what it is?
- 15:56Speaker 3: Now?
- 15:56Speaker 2: Oh, in twenty twenty one, it jumped all the way
- 15:58Speaker 2: to two billion dollars one year, a one hundred and
- 16:03Speaker 2: seventy four percent, increase America First policy and sued Health
- 16:07Speaker 2: Harvest campaign director Matchment talking about this article with Fox
- 16:10Speaker 2: News or this issue to Fox News, snap is meant
- 16:12Speaker 2: to help needy Minnesota and put food on the table,
- 16:15Speaker 2: not to subsidize people who already have significant financial resources,
- 16:18Speaker 2: of course, stating the obvious, is it not unacceptable that
- 16:25Speaker 2: the system in Minnesota and elsewhere? I'm positive allows millionaires
- 16:34Speaker 2: and as the AFPI guy mentioned, and lottery winners to
- 16:41Speaker 2: qualify for taxpayer funded benefits, calling it a fundamentally broken system. Well,
- 16:46Speaker 2: let's fix that one. Can we start there. Let's rally
- 16:49Speaker 2: around the flag, Let's rally around bi partisanship. Let's stop fraud, waste,
- 16:54Speaker 2: and abuse. Let's tighten the programs up. Oh that's right.
- 16:58Speaker 2: We are thirty nine trillion dollars in debt here in
- 17:02Speaker 2: the United States of America five twenty six right now.
- 17:04Speaker 2: Feel free to give you a call if you'd like.
- 17:05Speaker 2: I got local stories to talk about if you'd rather
- 17:07Speaker 2: go that way, but five on three seven four nine
- 17:09Speaker 2: fifty five hundred, eight hundred eight two three talk o
- 17:11Speaker 2: count five fifty. If you have an AT and T phone,
- 17:13Speaker 2: either way you go hope you stick around your.
- 17:15Speaker 1: Right back fifty five. The tox distance out the area.
- 17:20Speaker 2: Five one, three seven fifty five hundred eight two three
- 17:23Speaker 2: talk count if I fifty on ET and T phones. Yeah,
- 17:25Speaker 2: just over gas buddy, looking like three ninety nine is
- 17:27Speaker 2: about average for pretty much generally the multiple zip codes
- 17:30Speaker 2: that I typed in on a gas buddy for here
- 17:32Speaker 2: in the tri State, three ninety nine. Without further ado,
- 17:35Speaker 2: let's go to the phone see what Tom's got this morning. Tom,
- 17:37Speaker 2: thanks for calling, as always, Welcome to the show.
- 17:40Speaker 4: Good morning, sir. Sounds sounds like you're on a little
- 17:43Speaker 4: bit of a tear this morning.
- 17:44Speaker 2: I kind of I woke up from a trance after
- 17:46Speaker 2: my first rent in the first segment of the programs
- 17:49Speaker 2: like where in the hell did that come from? I
- 17:50Speaker 2: had no idea which stretch I was going to go,
- 17:51Speaker 2: and I opened the show up this morning. I hope
- 17:53Speaker 2: it made sense.
- 17:54Speaker 4: You know, well, I understand. I understand where you're coming from,
- 17:59Speaker 4: and it is a it. Here's a big issue with
- 18:04Speaker 4: people being lazy and not wanting to create their own wealth.
- 18:10Speaker 4: We were given the ability to create wealth. You have
- 18:13Speaker 4: you have a way of making money supporting yourself supporting
- 18:17Speaker 4: your family.
- 18:18Speaker 2: Well, isn't that isn't that an ethical point from which
- 18:21Speaker 2: everyone should spring. First off, foremost, this is something I
- 18:25Speaker 2: brought you. It resart you in this way. I was
- 18:26Speaker 2: raised this way. You got to take care of yourself.
- 18:28Speaker 2: You know, if there's one thing you owe the world,
- 18:30Speaker 2: the best thing you can do is at least be
- 18:32Speaker 2: able to take care of yourself. You know, pick up
- 18:34Speaker 2: after yourself, clean up after yourself, feed yourself, clothe yourself,
- 18:38Speaker 2: and at least shelter yourself. And if you are able
- 18:40Speaker 2: to do that most people I think are in some
- 18:42Speaker 2: to some degree, then nobody has to take care of you.
- 18:45Speaker 1: There's a thought, how about how about that?
- 18:48Speaker 4: Wouldn't that be nice if we didn't have to have
- 18:51Speaker 4: politicians telling us how we have to feel sorry for
- 18:55Speaker 4: other people and we should take on the burden of
- 18:58Speaker 4: responsibility for them.
- 18:59Speaker 2: Well, we may have a moral obligation to do that.
- 19:03Speaker 2: Sometimes that obligation springs from religion. Sometimes it springs from
- 19:06Speaker 2: simple reality that some people are never going to be
- 19:10Speaker 2: able to care for themselves. We have people that have
- 19:11Speaker 2: cognitive struggles, physical struggles. Those people perhaps are worthy of
- 19:15Speaker 2: some assistance. And you know, but as for everybody else.
- 19:22Speaker 2: The left is great to tap it into covetousness, greed,
- 19:25Speaker 2: and envy. Oh my god, how is it possible that
- 19:28Speaker 2: someone could acquire so much? That's just wrong. Really, it
- 19:32Speaker 2: was their choice. They chose to go that direction. You
- 19:34Speaker 2: chose a different direction. That's why it's beautiful to live
- 19:36Speaker 2: in America. We have the freedom to exercise those choices.
- 19:41Speaker 4: Well, the funny part is is that these same politicians,
- 19:45Speaker 4: it's not a problem that they're the ones acquiring that
- 19:48Speaker 4: much wealth. That's not a problem. So they they have
- 19:52Speaker 4: no issue with their bank accounts swelling and getting up
- 19:56Speaker 4: into the billions and all that, while they preached to
- 19:59Speaker 4: other people about how, oh they should know you, you
- 20:02Speaker 4: shouldn't you shouldn't feel right having this much money while
- 20:06Speaker 4: other people that you know or in your community or
- 20:09Speaker 4: whatever are suffering. Well, I don't see you giving all
- 20:11Speaker 4: your money away, right, You're just wanting to give all
- 20:15Speaker 4: of my money away. That's pretty much what it comes
- 20:17Speaker 4: down to, that is wanting. One of the main difference
- 20:20Speaker 4: between conservatism and liberalism is that conservatism a lot of
- 20:25Speaker 4: people are like, yeah, I want you to take care
- 20:28Speaker 4: of you, and I want you to stop depending on me.
- 20:31Speaker 4: Now you may need some help, but you need to
- 20:34Speaker 4: be thinking that way. And liberal is like, no, no, no,
- 20:37Speaker 4: if somebody has a lot, they should share, we should
- 20:39Speaker 4: make them share.
- 20:40Speaker 2: And they the proposition, and they spring for the proposition
- 20:44Speaker 2: that it is wrong as a I guess from from
- 20:47Speaker 2: the spring from the proposition that it is just wrong
- 20:49Speaker 2: that somebody else has been able to make that much money.
- 20:51Speaker 4: They just like, yeah, they say that, but they really
- 20:56Speaker 4: don't believe it. And that's the that's the part that
- 20:59Speaker 4: people need recognize. Liberals really don't believe that it's wrong
- 21:04Speaker 4: for a person to acquire that much wealth. They believe
- 21:09Speaker 4: that they can use guilt and envy and greed and
- 21:12Speaker 4: shame people who have that much money to get some
- 21:15Speaker 4: for themselves. All of these programs that are meant to
- 21:18Speaker 4: help other people are all like you brought up already.
- 21:21Speaker 4: They're all fraud with wrought with with fraud. They have
- 21:25Speaker 4: a lot of fraud too. People get in there and
- 21:28Speaker 4: they see a big pot of money and they oh,
- 21:29Speaker 4: I can get some of this. This isn't about feeling
- 21:32Speaker 4: sorry for other people and trying to get people to
- 21:35Speaker 4: feel ashamed of having too much money. This is about
- 21:37Speaker 4: an opportunity to steal your money. That's all it is,
- 21:40Speaker 4: stealing your money that you have worked hard for. Capitalism
- 21:44Speaker 4: is what makes all this possible. And the people that
- 21:46Speaker 4: are trying to steal all your money are vast majority
- 21:49Speaker 4: of them are liberals. So don't vote Democrats. Have a
- 21:51Speaker 4: great name.
- 21:52Speaker 1: Appreciate it.

- 22:51Speaker 2: gotten known over the years. Made a lot of friends,
- 22:52Speaker 2: and I love that folks. Other folks have really made
- 22:55Speaker 2: some tight friendships at listener and lunch. It's just a
- 22:57Speaker 2: neat thing from my perspective anyway. I just a highlight
- 23:02Speaker 2: of my life going to listener lunch. So hope you
- 23:04Speaker 2: can make it someday if you haven't ever been. Sam
- 23:06Speaker 2: Taylor over to the stack of stupid. Samontao County jury
- 23:09Speaker 2: found Vivian Alexander Gomez. She's fifty three guilty of felony
- 23:13Speaker 2: involuntary manslaughter in connection with Christina Ashton gra Khani's death
- 23:20Speaker 2: back in April twenty three. What happened, Well, girk Khani
- 23:23Speaker 2: hired this Gomez woman to perform an illegal gluteal silicone
- 23:29Speaker 2: injection described as a form of body contouring intended to,
- 23:35Speaker 2: for whatever bizarre reason, enlarged the buttocks. See that's part
- 23:39Speaker 2: I mean, I got a part company. I don't mind.
- 23:41Speaker 2: If you get cosmetic surgery, that's okay, but you want
- 23:45Speaker 2: to make it bigger, A different strokes for different folks. Gomez,
- 23:50Speaker 2: not licensed to perform medical procedures, administered several injections before
- 23:54Speaker 2: gore Khani, who was thirty four, started experiencing complications. Notably,
- 24:00Speaker 2: and she's a social media influence. I forgot to mention
- 24:02Speaker 2: gore Khani, the butt injection recipient is a Kim Kardashian
- 24:07Speaker 2: lookalike or was again?
- 24:09Speaker 1: Why anyway?
- 24:11Speaker 2: Gore Khani, also known as Ashton g went to cardiac
- 24:13Speaker 2: arrestor in the procedure. And here's where you really run
- 24:16Speaker 2: off the road at a Bay Area hotel room.
- 24:21Speaker 1: Red flag.
- 24:22Speaker 2: If you're a purported doctor wants to do an butt
- 24:25Speaker 2: injection surgery in a hotel room, I think you're going
- 24:28Speaker 2: down a bad road. If history is any dictation here,
- 24:31Speaker 2: you are Joe. She died the next day from respiratory
- 24:34Speaker 2: failure and pulmonary embolism at the hospital. Police arrested Gomez
- 24:40Speaker 2: hours later at Fort Lauderdale Airport, where she was extraded
- 24:43Speaker 2: to California to await trial. Gomez, who'd remained free until
- 24:46Speaker 2: the trial, is going to stay behind bars until her
- 24:49Speaker 2: sentencing hearing, which is May fifth. She could go to
- 24:53Speaker 2: prison up to seven years if convicted. Gurkhana's family detailed
- 24:56Speaker 2: the online fundraiser. They received the tragic phone call from
- 25:01Speaker 2: a family member who's frantically screaming and crying hysterically that
- 25:04Speaker 2: Ashton was dying. The viral Kim Kardashian lookalike quote was
- 25:12Speaker 2: such a caring and loving free spirit and always took
- 25:14Speaker 2: time to bring a smile to anyone's face. She crossed
- 25:17Speaker 2: paths with okay, cautionary tale, don't do it. Something else
- 25:26Speaker 2: you don't do. Federal agents arrested a Coral Springs, Florida
- 25:29Speaker 2: man over the weekend after they said he tried to
- 25:31Speaker 2: meet with someone who he thought was a fifteen year
- 25:35Speaker 2: old boy for the purposes of sexually abusing him, namely
- 25:41Speaker 2: paying him to record foot fetish videos with him in
- 25:45Speaker 2: which he would sell at which he would then sell online.
- 25:48Speaker 2: There's no flag for us, apparently not.
- 25:50Speaker 1: Joe.
- 25:52Speaker 2: Federal criminal complaint at THEI described the disturbing trial of
- 25:55Speaker 2: sex abuse allegations against this guy. William mc gangler, twenty
- 25:59Speaker 2: five years old, dating back to whet when he himself
- 26:01Speaker 2: was a teenager. Flight begins by describing a report the
- 26:05Speaker 2: a twenty one year old man made a law enforcement
- 26:07Speaker 2: March fifth Corner to the FBI. Told investigators that when
- 26:10Speaker 2: he was twelve or thirteen years old, he was the
- 26:11Speaker 2: victim of an online predator who were sending him money
- 26:14Speaker 2: to record sexual content. Complaint says that the man told
- 26:17Speaker 2: investigators several online users asked to meet him in person,
- 26:20Speaker 2: but he only met one, William Gangler.
- 26:24Speaker 1: Dates.
- 26:24Speaker 2: Gangler offered the boy money to meet and produce videos
- 26:27Speaker 2: involving his feet, paying him six hundred dollars at one point,
- 26:31Speaker 2: and offer him a percentage of profits made from sales
- 26:34Speaker 2: of the child sexual abuse videos online. Boy said he
- 26:37Speaker 2: never received any additional money, according to the FBI. Agents
- 26:42Speaker 2: Doug further found a Coral Springs police report from twenty

- 27:28Speaker 2: March sixth. Gangler, Thorty said, was selling child sexual abuse content,
- 27:31Speaker 2: including at least one video that appeared to be that
- 27:33Speaker 2: if he appeared to be in abusing your girl. Undercover
- 27:37Speaker 2: agents then began communicating with Gangler online, posing as a
- 27:40Speaker 2: fifteen year old boy, seeking to meet with him to
- 27:42Speaker 2: record sexual videos, including of course foot fetish content. You'd

- 27:49Speaker 2: sell them. Gangler accused of telling the child well which
- 27:52Speaker 2: he was an agent. I love that agents posing his
- 27:56Speaker 2: children in order to grab these guys. Listen, if you're
- 27:58Speaker 2: out there, you're one of these guys. You're a pervert.

- 28:32Speaker 2: to Wikipedia Cito paigia because I had a problem with
- 28:36Speaker 2: why would you want a bigger butt anyway? Described as
- 28:39Speaker 2: a state of having a substantial level of tissue on

- 28:44Speaker 2: angled appearance and a company by Lordosis, which is exactly
- 28:48Speaker 2: what the woman in the picture looks like. The late

- 28:52Speaker 2: was not big enough and real quick mind me Jared
- 28:55Speaker 2: by bear with me Jay, because apparently feet are a
- 28:57Speaker 2: real thing here and I don't get it. I wrote
- 29:00Speaker 2: on the top of this article. You pay for this.
- 29:04Speaker 2: Deputy Brandy Tenlin, she was a twenty one She has
- 29:06Speaker 2: a twenty one year former law enforcement employee in Palm

- 29:13Speaker 2: subscription based platform. You pay for this it's called feetfinder
- 29:17Speaker 2: dot com. Hey Joe, check it out. There is a flag.
- 29:25Speaker 2: She sold photos and videos centered on foot fetish content,
- 29:29Speaker 2: hundreds of images and dozens of videos, some of which
- 29:31Speaker 2: included sexually suggestive or explicit acts on her account, in
- 29:35Speaker 2: one where she actually wore her law enforcement uniform, so
- 29:39Speaker 2: she wore lingerie martial arts uniforms. Other closed perform erotic
- 29:44Speaker 2: poses not nude in the discovered pictures or videos that
- 29:46Speaker 2: were at issue here, the post showed her feet only.
- 29:52Speaker 1: You pay for this.
- 29:55Speaker 2: She showed her feet at the beach, riding a bike,
- 29:57Speaker 2: crushing different items like fruit toys. Several videos they were
- 30:00Speaker 2: crushing live crickets with her bare feet, cuckoo for cocoa puffs,
- 30:05Speaker 2: and then they played the most serious one of all,
- 30:07Speaker 2: the video in which she appeared wearing parts of her
- 30:09Speaker 2: official uniform while removing boots, seeing her socks were moist
- 30:13Speaker 2: and referencing her profession.
- 30:16Speaker 1: Weirdo.
- 30:18Speaker 2: And apparently she openly discussed this with her fellow law
- 30:20Speaker 2: enforcement officers and even showed them some of her feet videos.
- 30:22Speaker 2: So she didn't deny it, but she ultimately did acknowledge
- 30:25Speaker 2: in a sworn statement that she did create the account.
- 30:27Speaker 2: She did earn money from it, jocking meat to no end.
- 30:30Speaker 2: You know, if you build it, they apparently will come.
- 30:34Speaker 1: Crazy.
- 30:35Speaker 2: That's what I was waiting for. Joe Jay, Welcome to
- 30:37Speaker 2: the Morning Show. Thanks for calling today.
- 30:39Speaker 3: Thank good morning.
- 30:40Speaker 5: Brian listening from Providence, Rhode Island on iHeartMedia.
- 30:45Speaker 1: Thank you man. I love that you bet you bet.
- 30:49Speaker 1: I travel a lot.
- 30:49Speaker 5: I always pick you up on iHeartMedia. I really appreciate
- 30:52Speaker 5: you courage the listeners to do the same. Hey, I'm
- 30:56Speaker 5: still on a rant about Central Committee.
- 30:58Speaker 1: Of the Republican Hill would I know.
- 31:02Speaker 5: I know, I can't get over it, but I did
- 31:05Speaker 5: some homework based on your interview with Robert Sprague, who
- 31:09Speaker 5: is the treasurer, who is Jack Guess that would would
- 31:14Speaker 5: allow him to be everything in state government, which is
- 31:17Speaker 5: really unique that you can do all these jobs. But
- 31:20Speaker 5: if you once you run it, once you get in,
- 31:21Speaker 5: evidently you qualified for everything. He said that the reason
- 31:25Speaker 5: one of the big things that he would change is
- 31:27Speaker 5: that he would make sure that we would set a
- 31:32Speaker 5: verified citizenship at the time of voter registration, and that
- 31:36Speaker 5: that's currently a gap. I called Warren County Board of
- 31:40Speaker 5: Elections talk to a gentleman who is the director and
- 31:44Speaker 5: he has been in that position for I think twenty years.
- 31:48Speaker 5: He said, that's absolutely false, that there is a three
- 31:51Speaker 5: way check at the time of registration. When somebody fills
- 31:54Speaker 5: out that registration card, it goes to the BMV two
- 31:57Speaker 5: checks at the state level. It was BMV for sure.
- 32:00Speaker 5: I thought maybe he said, like medic Medicaid, Medicare Department
- 32:05Speaker 5: of Health for a state of Ohio, and then it
- 32:07Speaker 5: gets kicked up to the FED.
- 32:09Speaker 4: And I think it goes to AHHS.
- 32:11Speaker 5: Or somewhere to check that you are an American citizen
- 32:15Speaker 5: before that person gets a voter registration card. And I said,
- 32:21Speaker 5: would you be willing to I encourage him to call
- 32:24Speaker 5: this program and to talk to you all about that
- 32:28Speaker 5: the listening audience. And yeah, I said, it gets very political.
- 32:33Speaker 5: I I have fear of doing that for repercussions now
- 32:38Speaker 5: where repercussions coming down from.
- 32:40Speaker 1: It's not from the Republican Party.
- 32:42Speaker 5: That's speculation, but politics has our Board of Elections officials
- 32:50Speaker 5: scared to death that to talk about the truth. Now,
- 32:52Speaker 5: my other question about let's let's suppose that I didn't
- 32:55Speaker 5: get it quite right and there's some gap with the
- 32:58Speaker 5: Sprague pointed out, I don't think there is. Can he
- 33:01Speaker 5: not walk down all and talk to Frank LeRose?
- 33:04Speaker 1: There you go.
- 33:04Speaker 2: See, I just wanted to conclude your point. We're almost
- 33:06Speaker 2: at a time and I was getting the hairy eyeball
- 33:08Speaker 2: on the admonishment from Joe Strecker. So you posed some
- 33:11Speaker 2: interesting points, and I'm you know me, somebody wants to
- 33:14Speaker 2: come on and elect a capacity to talk about these problems.
- 33:16Speaker 2: I am more than happy to let them do that
- 33:17Speaker 2: and try to explain their way out of it. I
- 33:19Speaker 2: appreciate you keeping your eye on the ball.
- 33:21Speaker 1: Jay.
- 33:22Speaker 2: Clearly we do have some problems here in the state
- 33:24Speaker 2: of Ohio. Thank you, and don't go away. Stick around.
- 33:27Speaker 2: We've got lots to talk about. Open line in six
- 33:28Speaker 2: o'clock hour, you can direct the conversation. Feel free to

- 34:12Speaker 2: dot com for podcasts, and the iHeartMedia coming out on
- 34:14Speaker 2: the fifty five Carcee Morning Show one hour from now
- 34:16Speaker 2: appointment listening the Big Picture with Jack Ovidan. Today's topic
- 34:20Speaker 2: is anything incorruptible?
- 34:24Speaker 1: I'm thinking no.
- 34:25Speaker 2: Donald Neil, Americans for a Prosperity is sending me on
- 34:27Speaker 2: a tear this morning. Actually the Empower Youth Seminar after that,
- 34:30Speaker 2: Donald Neil talking about the Affordability agenda. Of course, if
- 34:33Speaker 2: you've gotten your gas tank filled recently, like I did yesterday,
- 34:35Speaker 2: I had to pay five bucks for premium average price
- 34:39Speaker 2: around town running in it right at three p ninety nine.
- 34:42Speaker 2: You may be able to find a little bit of
- 34:43Speaker 2: savings depending on where you go. But yes, a significant
- 34:46Speaker 2: increase in gasoline which is really angering a lot of people.
- 34:48Speaker 2: Of course, it's driven by the war between the Israeli forces,
- 34:52Speaker 2: United States and iron and the ripple effect of the
- 34:54Speaker 2: closure of the Strait of Horror moves which we all
- 34:56Speaker 2: know about eight oh five with Tom Hagenhorn's socialist's effort
- 34:59Speaker 2: to check America's empower you use someone are taking place
- 35:02Speaker 2: tonight And finally Judge of Politano War and morality. He'll
- 35:07Speaker 2: be on at day thirty and a scathing opinion from
- 35:11Speaker 2: Judge Nina Politano and something that he well channeling Daniel
- 35:14Speaker 2: Davis yesterday listening to Daniel Davis deep dive on podcasts
- 35:17Speaker 2: talking about the legality of the war. And since Daniel
- 35:20Speaker 2: Davis and many others under the impression this was not
- 35:23Speaker 2: an eminent threat, so the War Powers Resolution doesn't apply.
- 35:26Speaker 2: There was no authorization from Congress and of course no
- 35:28Speaker 2: authorization from military force. Because Donald Trump went in very
- 35:31Speaker 2: quickly and stealthily in launching this campaign, not a lot
- 35:35Speaker 2: of discussion ahead of time. So where are we appear
- 35:38Speaker 2: to be in legal limbo, and of course Judge of
- 35:40Speaker 2: Platano and Daniel Davis both suggesting this is an unlawful war.
- 35:45Speaker 2: You can argue against that, and we can argue all
- 35:48Speaker 2: day long about eminent threat what that might mean to
- 35:50Speaker 2: justify its being under the War Powers Act. But you
- 35:52Speaker 2: still have no resolution. So we seem to be in
- 35:58Speaker 2: a state of constitutional uncertainty. Is it crisis?
- 36:03Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 36:04Speaker 2: Feel free to chime in if you like. That's coming
- 36:06Speaker 2: up in the fifty five KC Morning Show and over
- 36:08Speaker 2: to the well the popularity are lack thereof William Galston
- 36:13Speaker 2: doing an op ed piece on this, but citing real
- 36:16Speaker 2: clear politics, average polling. They put together multiple polls. Their
- 36:20Speaker 2: polls are taking place all the time, and I know
- 36:21Speaker 2: general perception of polls is that they're not reliable. But
- 36:24Speaker 2: if you start seeing a trend and a theme upon
- 36:27Speaker 2: you know, conservative pollsters, liberal pollsters, independent pollsters, they all
- 36:32Speaker 2: have a bit of a political stripe. So it's that
- 36:33Speaker 2: John Deice I of skepticism. You paint over any given
- 36:36Speaker 2: poll depending upon who did it, but you put them
- 36:37Speaker 2: all together and you get some semblance of maybe reality,
- 36:40Speaker 2: and that's kind of what he's working off off of
- 36:42Speaker 2: relying on the real clear politics figures, which show that
- 36:45Speaker 2: this is not popular. When the war began, he points out,
- 36:51Speaker 2: public support was lower than for any other major conflict
- 36:53Speaker 2: undertaken in the nearly a century. And since we've now
- 36:56Speaker 2: entered the fourth week, turning to the polls, initial public
- 36:59Speaker 2: doubts have now moved in sweeping opposition. Survey is conducted
- 37:03Speaker 2: during the third week show that support of the war
- 37:05Speaker 2: falling to an average of thirty nine percent. Apparently, American
- 37:10Speaker 2: people don't think that the president has clearly explained the
- 37:13Speaker 2: goals of war. And I'll let you decide whether or
- 37:16Speaker 2: not an explanation upfront or it would be nice to
- 37:19Speaker 2: have a very clearly defined definition of what we're trying
- 37:22Speaker 2: to accomplish here, because you know, whether you love or
- 37:24Speaker 2: hate Donald Trump, he is a bit all over the
- 37:26Speaker 2: board on this one. You know, you've got seventy two hours.
- 37:29Speaker 2: No no, no, I'm going to make it five. No, no, no,
- 37:30Speaker 2: I'm gonna it's just everywhere I'm talking to the Iranians,
- 37:34Speaker 2: we've got a deal, they've agreed to something, and then
- 37:36Speaker 2: you hear from the Iranians they say, we never even
- 37:37Speaker 2: talked to him, he can take his deal and shove
- 37:39Speaker 2: it up as keyster. So I, again going back to
- 37:43Speaker 2: Daniel Davis's perception, say you got to listen to maybe
- 37:45Speaker 2: more foreign news sources try to get that balance. Immediately
- 37:50Speaker 2: cocked up thought about Bagdad Bob, and I asked him
- 37:52Speaker 2: about that.
- 37:53Speaker 1: How can we really rely on that?
- 37:54Speaker 2: And that's his sort of well, if you look back,
- 37:56Speaker 2: look at everything, look at the conflict and where it is,
- 37:59Speaker 2: is this rate of horror moves open? The answer is no,
- 38:02Speaker 2: which supports his position that yes, the Iranians oppose a
- 38:06Speaker 2: grave threat for the Strait of Horror moonves, in spite
- 38:07Speaker 2: of the fact that we've done significant damage to their
- 38:10Speaker 2: missile bases, their air force which really wasn't ever and
- 38:14Speaker 2: of course their navy. Notwithstanding that, there's all kinds of
- 38:17Speaker 2: reports about the thousand plus little midget boats they've got
- 38:20Speaker 2: out there, all the different types of minds they still
- 38:22Speaker 2: have in their possession, and how easy it is to
- 38:24Speaker 2: distribute those also widely reported that they have already put
- 38:29Speaker 2: some of those minds in the Strait of Horror moves
- 38:32Speaker 2: even recently. So the rationale cursory as it was, we
- 38:39Speaker 2: still here in the middle of this conflict, and as
- 38:42Speaker 2: the conflict enters it's fourth week, I said, as I
- 38:44Speaker 2: pointed out, thirty nine percent of the Real Politics average
- 38:47Speaker 2: approve weakening the economy that makes the country less safe
- 38:51Speaker 2: Americans have concluded a majority of them Americans believe it
- 38:55Speaker 2: is a war of choice, not necessity. Again, going back
- 38:58Speaker 2: to the broader points, was this an eminent threat? Iron's
- 39:02Speaker 2: been around since nineteen seventy nine. They've been a thorn
- 39:04Speaker 2: in our sides since the beginning, And that's the argument
- 39:06Speaker 2: made by many that wait a second, what's changed? What
- 39:09Speaker 2: justified the launching of this military action despite the administration's
- 39:14Speaker 2: call for a short term sacrifice. Here you are, in
- 39:17Speaker 2: terms of gasoline, people reject paying more for gasoline as
- 39:22Speaker 2: their patriotic duty by margin of two to one. Where
- 39:25Speaker 2: are you on that You got bills to pay, You
- 39:28Speaker 2: don't want to pay four dollars a gallon. It's eating
- 39:32Speaker 2: into your disposable income state in the obvious, do you
- 39:35Speaker 2: believe it's your patriotic duty? If we can slog through
- 39:37Speaker 2: this and ultimately end up with the world without Iran,
- 39:41Speaker 2: you get the regime change you're looking for. Even though
- 39:44Speaker 2: the Iranians aren't consenting to that. Are you willing to
- 39:47Speaker 2: put up with an increased price in gasoline to achieve
- 39:49Speaker 2: that goal? Something to consider. You might get pulled over it.
- 39:54Speaker 2: And let me interject, since you know me, I don't
- 39:56Speaker 2: believe in this whole concept of climate change. Are you
- 39:59Speaker 2: willing to pay a lot more for gasoline in the
- 40:01Speaker 2: name of keeping carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere? There,
- 40:04Speaker 2: let me put that in your pipe and smoke on
- 40:06Speaker 2: it for a while. Forty percent of Iran as a
- 40:10Speaker 2: minor threat. Fifteen percent view it as no threat at all.
- 40:14Speaker 2: That's fifty five percent saying Iran shouldn't even be paid
- 40:17Speaker 2: attention to. Only one third of people believe the current
- 40:22Speaker 2: war is justified two thirds surveyed. I think the current
- 40:27Speaker 2: air and sea operation is going to lead the troops
- 40:29Speaker 2: on the ground, as Donald Trump has committed three thousand
- 40:31Speaker 2: and eighty second airborne troops. I guess they're on their
- 40:35Speaker 2: way a quart of the reporting as of this morning.
- 40:38Speaker 2: Kind of a threat. You know, if you're going to
- 40:39Speaker 2: send troops on the ground, you better have them ready
- 40:41Speaker 2: to go. It's a strong suggestion to the Iranians that, well,
- 40:44Speaker 2: maybe Donald Trump will do that. However, public support for
- 40:50Speaker 2: using even a limited number of special forces only sits
- 40:53Speaker 2: at thirty four percent, a cord to the Reuter's Zipsos
- 40:56Speaker 2: poll backing for a large land invasion. Ask you are
- 41:01Speaker 2: you in favor of that? Apparently only seven percent of
- 41:03Speaker 2: Americans are in favor of a large land invasion. Sixty
- 41:10Speaker 2: one percent favor ending the war quickly, twenty four percent
- 41:13Speaker 2: say we should fight on until the president's objectives are achieved.
- 41:16Speaker 2: In going back to Golston's point, what are specifically the objectives?
- 41:21Speaker 2: We might have a little insight into that with the
- 41:23Speaker 2: fifteen point plan that was released yesterday. What are the objectives?
- 41:27Speaker 2: According to reports they sent over this fifteen point plan,
- 41:32Speaker 2: it's being negotiated with some Pakistani folks. Dismantle existing nuclear capabilities,
- 41:37Speaker 2: which Donald Trump said they've agreed to that, and yet
- 41:39Speaker 2: the Iranian said, no, no, no, we didn't commit to
- 41:43Speaker 2: never pursue nuclear weapons. That's number two, number three, number three,
- 41:46Speaker 2: no uranium in Richmond on Iranian territory. Iran must hand
- 41:50Speaker 2: its stockpile of enriched uranium to the International Atomic Energy
- 41:53Speaker 2: Agency nantas Ishfashan and fod Or nuclear facilities must be
- 41:58Speaker 2: dismantled IAEA must be granted full access to Iran's nuclear facilities.
- 42:03Speaker 2: Iran must abandon its regional proxy paradogem that's in quotes,
- 42:08Speaker 2: cease the funding, directing, and arming of its proxies. It
- 42:13Speaker 2: is a wishless folks reopen the strait of horror moves
- 42:16Speaker 2: and must remain reopen. Iran's missile program must be limited
- 42:21Speaker 2: in both range and quantity. Iron must limited use of
- 42:24Speaker 2: missiles for self defense, and in return, Iron would benefit
- 42:28Speaker 2: from the end of sanctions imposed by the international community,
- 42:31Speaker 2: US assistants to advance civilian nuclear program and a snapback
- 42:35Speaker 2: mechanism allowing for the automatic reimposition to sanctions if Iran
- 42:38Speaker 2: fails to comply. Well, it's a great list of stuff
- 42:40Speaker 2: and things. But pivoting over to the Irodians after on
- 42:43Speaker 2: the heels of Trump saying, hey, we've got some concession here.
- 42:48Speaker 2: They've agreed. He said yesterday of his biggest demand, they
- 42:52Speaker 2: will never have a nuclear weapon.
- 42:53Speaker 1: They've agreed to that.
- 42:54Speaker 2: That's a quote from Donald Trump in response to Iran says,
- 42:57Speaker 2: uh no, we aren't negotiating with the United States.
- 43:00Speaker 1: The States.
- 43:03Speaker 2: We ud stated it has agreed to it hasn't agreed
- 43:05Speaker 2: to any of Trump's demand, including ending its pursued of
- 43:08Speaker 2: nuclear weapons. Trump said yesterday, we're actually talking to the
- 43:12Speaker 2: right people, and they want to make a deal so badly.
- 43:14Speaker 2: You have no idea how how badly they want to
- 43:16Speaker 2: make a deal. So we have an obvious, profound disconnect
- 43:21Speaker 2: here in terms of what each side is saying. And
- 43:25Speaker 2: so I'm left to basically conclude, I think, like the
- 43:29Speaker 2: rest of everybody, you have no idea where we are
- 43:32Speaker 2: on this question is are you willing to suffer through
- 43:35Speaker 2: the financial difficulties you probably are facing or will face
- 43:38Speaker 2: as a consequence of this. Going back to something Donald
- 43:40Speaker 2: and O'Neil is going to be talking about food in
- 43:42Speaker 2: food problems, and food prices have already gone up dramatically,
- 43:45Speaker 2: and by all accounts, that's only going to get worse
- 43:47Speaker 2: given the fertile is the fertilizer freeze because of the
- 43:50Speaker 2: straight up horn moves being shut down. So uh, Finally,
- 43:56Speaker 2: that last couple of figures from the from the discussion
- 43:58Speaker 2: from William Galston, one court of Americans who voted for
- 44:01Speaker 2: Trump in twenty twenty four now disapprove of the Iran policy,
- 44:06Speaker 2: especially among those who really were back in strong Trump
- 44:09Speaker 2: strongly in the election, fifty six percent of young adults disapprove,
- 44:13Speaker 2: sixty two percent of Hispanic Independence disapprove, and sadly we
- 44:19Speaker 2: get back may have a bad omen coming out of
- 44:23Speaker 2: Florida yesterday, which maybe puts an exclamation point and perhaps
- 44:28Speaker 2: perhaps confirms the real Clear Politics figures that Galston was
- 44:32Speaker 2: relying on kind of scary stuff as we approach November five,
- 44:36Speaker 2: three seven, four nine fifty eight hundred eight two three

- 45:10Speaker 2: on at and T Founds and uh, maybe some advice
- 45:13Speaker 2: for the City of Cincinnati. In the next segment, Donald
- 45:16Speaker 2: Trump has a lot to be proud of and his
- 45:20Speaker 2: policies do work depending on where you're looking. And one
- 45:22Speaker 2: policy that may work for the City of Cincinnati worked
- 45:27Speaker 2: in Nashville, Tennessee. Later on that one. First a story
- 45:30Speaker 2: from the status too, but it is a local story.
- 45:34Speaker 2: I guess I have to first ask I enquiry day
- 45:37Speaker 2: far our reporting on this. Is there anybody who's a
- 45:39Speaker 2: fan of Cincinnati tap water anyway? If you are, you
- 45:45Speaker 2: can get it from a can. Apparently, Greater since a
- 45:48Speaker 2: waterworks launching a project tapping the city's waters and putting
- 45:53Speaker 2: it into a can. Water departments already produced dozens of
- 45:57Speaker 2: cases of this, thousands of more cans in the pipeline,
- 46:00Speaker 2: and says David, Environment Protection Agency regulations to require water
- 46:03Speaker 2: companies to provide an alternative source of water to consumers
- 46:06Speaker 2: if their service is disrupted for twenty four hours longer
- 46:09Speaker 2: like a water main break. This project the way to
- 46:11Speaker 2: comply with the regulation. Water Companies executive director Andrew Yang
- 46:16Speaker 2: said they are looking into selling the water and possibly
- 46:19Speaker 2: placing it at local grocery stores. Money raised we'll go
- 46:23Speaker 2: toward customers who cannot afford their water bills or education
- 46:27Speaker 2: events at the Sinsee public schools. Yang said Greater Cincinnatio
- 46:31Speaker 2: Waterworks won the best tasting tap water in Ohio. How
- 46:35Speaker 2: high is that bar? We're excited to share this homeward
- 46:42Speaker 2: winning tap water with the community. Production costs four nine
- 46:45Speaker 2: twenty cans fifteen thousand bucks aka three bucks a can.
- 46:51Speaker 1: I don't know you'd call that a value.
- 46:52Speaker 2: Go ahead, We've got to Betavia, where a village of
- 46:55Speaker 2: Botavia council members now facing assault charges for attacking a
- 46:59Speaker 2: resident outside of a public townhole meeting. Michael Gardner charged
- 47:04Speaker 2: with one kind of assault, first degree misdemeanor. Courted to
- 47:07Speaker 2: the Claremont County Sheriff's office, he entered a not guilty plea.
- 47:10Speaker 2: William Albright said he was the man that Gardner took
- 47:13Speaker 2: a swing at after a council meeting, pointing out first
- 47:16Speaker 2: he attends hundreds of meetings. First time though this has happened,
- 47:19Speaker 2: he said, I go to every meeting village in township.
- 47:21Speaker 2: I got a fire department meeting, school board meetings. He
- 47:23Speaker 2: said it was at mondaynight's Monday night's meeting, expressing concerns
- 47:26Speaker 2: about an upcoming fire levee. He said things escalated verbally.
- 47:30Speaker 2: Albright and Gardner during the public comment, Albright said, I'm
- 47:38Speaker 2: not the person that you will talk to like you
- 47:40Speaker 2: have in the past that you can get that straight
- 47:44Speaker 2: right now, saying you can kiss my a word. Gardner
- 47:49Speaker 2: then told Albright, let's walk outside. Cording the reporting, Albright said,
- 47:54Speaker 2: he followed me right out, got right in my face
- 47:57Speaker 2: and I flipped him off in there. He came out
- 47:59Speaker 2: there and said, flip me off again. I flipped him
- 48:02Speaker 2: off again, and he took a swing and he missed
- 48:04Speaker 2: because he's slow close. Quote Sheriff Stratton in his statement,
- 48:09Speaker 2: the Sheriff's Office takes allegations of violence seriously, regardless of
- 48:12Speaker 2: the individuals involved. This matter as being hand on according
- 48:14Speaker 2: to the law. Gardner appearing in court uh ten am
- 48:17Speaker 2: this morning for a temporary protection order hearing, Albright said,
- 48:22Speaker 2: I want him removed from this council. Six thirty five
- 48:25Speaker 2: fifty five. Thank you Joe Strecker for putting an exclamation
- 48:29Speaker 2: point on that one man. Tempers are flaring these days.
- 48:34Speaker 2: Zimmer Heating and Air Conditioning confidently recommend you get in
- 48:37Speaker 2: touch with Zimmer HVAC third generation family in no Operation
- 48:43Speaker 2: fifty five ker Cee Detalk station. Getting a kick out
- 48:50Speaker 2: of the battle on b it's a fake website, Lizza,
- 48:54Speaker 2: don't note. If you know the story, you'll get a
- 48:56Speaker 2: kick out of it. I'll probably headline quadrivile amputique cornhole
- 48:59Speaker 2: champion claims it was a different quadruple amputeue cornhole champion
- 49:03Speaker 2: who shot that guy. If you don't know about it,
- 49:06Speaker 2: it might be worth looking into that story. Wow, it
- 49:09Speaker 2: did make it into the Stackers Dupid this morning. I
- 49:11Speaker 2: stally didn't have time editorial discretion on that one.
- 49:14Speaker 1: Anyway.
- 49:15Speaker 2: While Trump tries to keep his well keep a positive image,
- 49:19Speaker 2: this war is real problematic for him from a public
- 49:22Speaker 2: well coping with the repercussions of it, whether it's gas prices,
- 49:26Speaker 2: the concern over a global conflict which since ira or
- 49:30Speaker 2: Israel started launching rockets into the Caspian Sea.
- 49:39Speaker 1: Corner of ports.
- 49:40Speaker 2: From yesterday, Israel strike on a naval outpost in the
- 49:42Speaker 2: Caspian seae like what targeted Russia's support for Iran in
- 49:47Speaker 2: the war, hitting a supply line that countries have used
- 49:50Speaker 2: to move ammunition, drones and other weapons, ry webary, but
- 49:53Speaker 2: also food and other supplies that have nothing to do
- 49:56Speaker 2: with the war. Yeah, Caspian Sea, Russians and the Iranians
- 50:00Speaker 2: come back and forth. They've been at this for a
- 50:01Speaker 2: long long time. That was not a military target up
- 50:04Speaker 2: until I guess last week was first reported though yesterday,
- 50:07Speaker 2: so our suggesting if we get the Russians involved, are
- 50:11Speaker 2: we not expanding this war and involving global powers that
- 50:15Speaker 2: have nuclear weapons and therefore labeling at World War three?
- 50:18Speaker 2: It's certainly a possibility. So freaked out people are, however,
- 50:22Speaker 2: and a lesson that maybe Cincinnati can tap on into.
- 50:24Speaker 2: Trump was down in Memphis yesterday. Guess what, I guess
- 50:28Speaker 2: Cracking down on crime works, especially if you have the
- 50:31Speaker 2: cooperation of the city, which they did roundtable event with
- 50:37Speaker 2: folks in Memphis Senior Leadership team. Last September, the Trump
- 50:47Speaker 2: team launched the Memphis Safe Task Force. Now does this
- 50:52Speaker 2: sound familiar for those out there that remember Police Chief
- 50:55Speaker 2: threes that DG force. She was placed on administrative leave.
- 50:57Speaker 2: Hey Signal ninety nine, multi agency effort involving federal officers,
- 51:03Speaker 2: local police, and the Tennessee National Guard to fight violent crime.
- 51:07Speaker 1: It was a bad idea.
- 51:08Speaker 2: Last summer before the election, Police Chief three g pased
- 51:11Speaker 2: on administrative leaving low and behold. Now they're out rolling
- 51:13Speaker 2: it out saying how great it is here in Cincinnati.
- 51:15Speaker 2: We're working with federal partners, We're prosecuting people federally. All right,
- 51:18Speaker 2: but we're down in Memphis for this one. Before the
- 51:21Speaker 2: initiative got launched, Memphis had the highest rate of violent
- 51:28Speaker 2: crime per capita in the country. That's FBI statistics, highest
- 51:33Speaker 2: per capitay in the country. Fast forward to now, overall
- 51:38Speaker 2: crime down forty three percent compared to last year. The
- 51:44Speaker 2: task force said it recently has made close to seven
- 51:47Speaker 2: thousand arrests and seized more than eleven hundred illegal firearms
- 51:51Speaker 2: since the crackdown began. Trump said, you have now developed
- 51:58Speaker 2: a reputation as a city that's coming back stronger than
- 52:01Speaker 2: any city in the country because of what's happened with crime,
- 52:04Speaker 2: and because your political leaders had the courage to do
- 52:08Speaker 2: what they did, in other words, get tough on crime.
- 52:10Speaker 2: Look wow, proving that the criminal justice system foundational points
- 52:15Speaker 2: actually work. If you're tough on crime, you punish people.
- 52:19Speaker 2: Not only do you punish them for the harm they
- 52:21Speaker 2: did to society at large, but you act as a deterrence.
- 52:24Speaker 2: Your prosecution and stiff punishment serves as a warning to
- 52:28Speaker 2: all others out there in the world who might commit
- 52:29Speaker 2: crimes that you're going to be dealt with harshly, and
- 52:32Speaker 2: if you do it crime jobs. Hey, Iris Rawley, how's
- 52:37Speaker 2: that for a concept changing tactics they're hoping will help
- 52:49Speaker 2: Donald Trump. See, I'm bringing this up in an effort
- 52:52Speaker 2: to project, yes, there are some things that he's doing
- 52:54Speaker 2: that are great. They're benefiting society, everybody in Memphis. I
- 52:58Speaker 2: can't imagine if they want to get Donald Trump credit
- 52:59Speaker 2: for or not, but this effort clearly paid off in
- 53:03Speaker 2: a major way. Politically advantageous. This would be let's get
- 53:08Speaker 2: this word out there, Hey, this guy knows what to
- 53:10Speaker 2: do about crime. About sixty one percent of respondent in
- 53:13Speaker 2: a re Reuter's up ipso's poll last month, including ninety
- 53:16Speaker 2: two percent of Republicans, thirty five percent of Democrats, said
- 53:19Speaker 2: they supported deporting unauthorized migrants, but generally disapproved of the
- 53:23Speaker 2: Trump administration's hardline tactics. Something else that is changing the
- 53:30Speaker 2: idea of going after the worst of the worst people
- 53:33Speaker 2: with the detention order the committed crimes, that is still
- 53:36Speaker 2: widely embraced. But you've noticed, at least maybe I've had noticed,
- 53:40Speaker 2: maybe I've missed some important reporting on it. You don't
- 53:43Speaker 2: see about the protests, the war, the violence in the streets,
- 53:47Speaker 2: the street protesters going after ICE agents. That's because the
- 53:50Speaker 2: Trump administration's kind of toned down its policy. They don't
- 53:57Speaker 2: have to have that much involvement with people. If you
- 53:59Speaker 2: go after the hardest of hardcore, you can probably get
- 54:02Speaker 2: a judicial warrant, which are on the rise, as opposed
- 54:05Speaker 2: to going with an administrative warrant, which of course angers
- 54:08Speaker 2: the Democrats and provides fodder for the keeping the government
- 54:10Speaker 2: shut down argument. Nobody has a problem with ICE agents
- 54:16Speaker 2: being at the airport right now. Apparently they got a
- 54:19Speaker 2: problem ironed out. There's lines not nearly as long as
- 54:22Speaker 2: they were before Trump sent IC in, so they can't
- 54:24Speaker 2: accomplish something. Six forty five fifty five KRSD talk station
- 54:28Speaker 2: and but Herbertmotors to the rescue if you need new
- 54:33Speaker 2: six fifty one to fifty five care CD talk station.
- 54:35Speaker 2: Thank you, Timothy. Talking about how price of gasoline and
- 54:41Speaker 2: of course people angry about it in the situation in
- 54:43Speaker 2: the Middle East. Of course, the impacting and dramatically average
- 54:46Speaker 2: price locally about four bucks, and that's gone up dramatic
- 54:48Speaker 2: about a dollar over the past couple of weeks. Timothy,
- 54:52Speaker 2: a little bit of rational thought on this one hundred
- 54:55Speaker 2: and twenty eight fluid ounces in a gallon bottle of water.
- 54:58Speaker 2: Typical sixteen ounces takes eight bottle of water to make
- 55:01Speaker 2: a gallon. Thank you Tim for doing the math. People
- 55:04Speaker 2: complain about four dollars a gallon for gasoline, but don't
- 55:07Speaker 2: complain about paying a dollar a bottle for water at
- 55:09Speaker 2: a gas station, meaning it's eight dollars per gallon for water,
- 55:15Speaker 2: to which I of course had to chime in. Or
- 55:16Speaker 2: maybe seven dollars for a couple of Starbucks when you
- 55:18Speaker 2: can make multiply twenty three pots of coffee from a
- 55:21Speaker 2: couple of pounds at of costco coffee, which has gone
- 55:24Speaker 2: up dramatically but is still only nineteen dollars for two pounds,
- 55:29Speaker 2: make it at home, and probably you'll save more than
- 55:33Speaker 2: the increase in your gasoline price, considering how much coffee
- 55:35Speaker 2: gets consumed anyway, pivoting over we always do tech Frida
- 55:38Speaker 2: with Dave Hotter. I wanted to get this in. Actually
- 55:40Speaker 2: I view this as a positive thing. I have no
- 55:42Speaker 2: idea where this AI future is for US artificial intelligence.
- 55:45Speaker 2: But a New Mexico jury yesterday ordered Meta to pay
- 55:50Speaker 2: three hundred and seventy five million dollars, finding the company
- 55:54Speaker 2: violated state law by misleading users about the safety of
- 55:56Speaker 2: its platforms, enabling child exploitation. It was a jury trial
- 56:02Speaker 2: they found Facebook and Instagram's parent company violated in Mexico's
- 56:06Speaker 2: consumer protection law, following a lawsuit brought by the Attorney
- 56:09Speaker 2: General there Raoul Torres, which accused Meta of family to
- 56:12Speaker 2: protect children from predators. Raoul Torres in a statement, jury
- 56:18Speaker 2: verdict is a historic victory for every child and family
- 56:21Speaker 2: who has paid the price for Meta's choice to put
- 56:23Speaker 2: profits over kids' safety. Meta's executives knew their products harmed children,
- 56:28Speaker 2: disregarded warnings from their own employees, and lied to the
- 56:31Speaker 2: public about what they knew. Today, the jury joined families, educators,
- 56:34Speaker 2: and child safety experts and saying enough is enough. That
- 56:38Speaker 2: is the first time a state has prevailed at trial
- 56:40Speaker 2: against a tech company over its claims that children are
- 56:43Speaker 2: harmed by their products. Unbelievable lawsuit was filed originally in
- 56:52Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, alleging Meta created what they called a
- 56:56Speaker 2: breeding ground for child predators and misled users about this
- 56:59Speaker 2: safety protections that Facebook claimed were there. Now that penalty,
- 57:05Speaker 2: it's about how big it is. Three hundred and seventy
- 57:06Speaker 2: five million dollars the I believe they were looking for
- 57:09Speaker 2: two point one billion dollars. The officials in New Mexico
- 57:12Speaker 2: were Jerry did award. They claim the maximum allowed under
- 57:16Speaker 2: state law five thousand dollars per violation.
- 57:20Speaker 1: Meta of course is going to appeal.
- 57:22Speaker 2: UH I like this normally, I'm not huge, and you know,
- 57:25Speaker 2: playing is going after companies that obviously makes the price
- 57:28Speaker 2: of whatever good or service out in the world go
- 57:30Speaker 2: up because they have to deal with the aftermath. But
- 57:32Speaker 2: it is accountability, and that's the thing that's baked into
- 57:34Speaker 2: the civil justice system we have here accountability and since
- 57:39Speaker 2: Meta global it is and there are tight regulatory restrictions
- 57:43Speaker 2: elsewhere in the world, tighter than they are here. Now
- 57:46Speaker 2: is staring this and may not win on appeal. They
- 57:48Speaker 2: may have to shell out this money. They know that
- 57:50Speaker 2: massive liability awaits them down the road. What's the best
- 57:54Speaker 2: possible thing they can do right, step up to the plate.
- 57:57Speaker 2: Provide adequate and comprehensive protection services. Maybe that you can
- 58:03Speaker 2: turn on and off your discretion. That is a product
- 58:06Speaker 2: feature that's supposed to either draw you in or not
- 58:08Speaker 2: having the feature available, so parents and children can all
- 58:11Speaker 2: be protected having it in place by default. So you
- 58:15Speaker 2: can't come up with pedophile connections on through the platform.
- 58:21Speaker 2: Most people aren't hip and savvy about how this stuff work.
- 58:24Speaker 2: And I'll throw myself right in the equation. Then again,
- 58:28Speaker 2: I'm an adult. I don't have to worry about it. Thankfully,
- 58:31Speaker 2: my children are adults. I don't have to worry about them.
- 58:37Speaker 2: But given the the vast majority of people aren't really
- 58:39Speaker 2: capable of really understanding how this works and how easy
- 58:44Speaker 2: it is for perverts to get in touch with your
- 58:46Speaker 2: kids on multiple platforms, then maybe we should start from
- 58:51Speaker 2: the default position that perverts won't be able to get
- 58:54Speaker 2: access to your kids unless, of course, you turn that
- 58:56Speaker 2: filter off six fifty five fifty five KS. The talk states,
- 59:00Speaker 2: so it is seven six if if you got ksen
- 59:04Speaker 2: me talk station. Thomas always happy at this moment in
- 59:07Speaker 2: time because it is the time when we get the
- 59:09Speaker 2: brilliance of the big picture with Jack Adathan and Jack
- 59:12Speaker 2: Adan and my friend. Thank you so much or for
- 59:14Speaker 2: your time today and for all your time previously. I
- 59:16Speaker 2: really enjoy hearing from you, and I've just the way
- 59:19Speaker 2: you weave history in with things going on right now
- 59:22Speaker 2: in modern times is always brilliant.
- 59:24Speaker 1: Good to have you back.
- 59:25Speaker 6: On the show, my friend, thanks so much, brother, I
- 59:28Speaker 6: appreciate it. To celebrate spring and Opening Day, let's hear
- 59:34Speaker 6: a Democrats version of Elizabeth Barrett Browning. How do I
- 59:39Speaker 6: hate Trump? Let me count the ways. I hate him
- 59:43Speaker 6: for securing the border and disarming you run. I hate
- 59:47Speaker 6: Trump for his tax cuts and his spending cuts, his
- 59:50Speaker 6: regulatory cuts and his haircut. I hate him for his wealth,
- 59:55Speaker 6: for his wife and his oh so perfect kids, don't
- 59:59Speaker 6: you miss hunter. I hate how he's keeping boys from
- 1:00:02Speaker 6: becoming girls and illegals from becoming voters. And if some
- 1:00:07Speaker 6: crazed who or paid assassin shoes, I shall but hate
- 1:00:11Speaker 6: Trump better after death. My friends, that's the Democrat Party
- 1:00:16Speaker 6: in a nutshell. And it's still hard to believe that
- 1:00:19Speaker 6: Democrats are playing Russian Roulette with homeland security during the war. Yes,
- 1:00:26Speaker 6: they may soon cut a deal that does not include
- 1:00:28Speaker 6: long term funding for ICE. Senator Eric Swalwell wants to
- 1:00:33Speaker 6: disband ICE altogether, and House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries He
- 1:00:38Speaker 6: says ICE agents the President has helping out at airports.
- 1:00:41Speaker 6: Now those ICE agents may shoot passengers, and not just
- 1:00:46Speaker 6: the ones who recline their seats right into your lap.
- 1:00:49Speaker 6: We'd all like to shoot them. Democrats want to abolish
- 1:00:53Speaker 6: immigration and customs enforcements, and we know why, so tens
- 1:00:57Speaker 6: of millions of illegal invaders can be counted in the
- 1:01:01Speaker 6: census and swell the populations of all the sanctuary cities
- 1:01:05Speaker 6: and seventeen sanctuary states run by Democrats, giving them more
- 1:01:10Speaker 6: seats in Congress and more taxpayer funds for fraudulent social programs. Folks,
- 1:01:17Speaker 6: it's all about power. The power that Lord Acton said,
- 1:01:21Speaker 6: and we say all the time corrupts a little bit
- 1:01:24Speaker 6: of history, because that's what we do here. Corruption started
- 1:01:28Speaker 6: polluting American politics about two hundred years ago with the
- 1:01:32Speaker 6: new spoil system of Democrats Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren.
- 1:01:37Speaker 6: In fairness, corruption continued under establishment Republicans, and it does
- 1:01:42Speaker 6: to this day. Politicians handed governor contracts and jobs to fatcats,
- 1:01:47Speaker 6: filling their campaign coffers and their pockets, even though our
- 1:01:52Speaker 6: whole constitutional system was built to avoid corruption by keeping
- 1:01:57Speaker 6: divided government as small as possible. The chief job of
- 1:02:01Speaker 6: the federal government was supposed to be what we now
- 1:02:04Speaker 6: call national security, homeland security, including border security. President Eisenhower,
- 1:02:12Speaker 6: who swept up and deported one point three million illegals, Obama,
- 1:02:17Speaker 6: who after he lost the midterms deported three million illegals,
- 1:02:22Speaker 6: and Trump, who's been called hitler for deporting two point
- 1:02:26Speaker 6: five million, most of whom self deported. They and all
- 1:02:30Speaker 6: other presidents, even Lion Joe Biden, agreed we must ban
- 1:02:35Speaker 6: illegal immigration. Yet Democrats continue to undercut national security, from
- 1:02:41Speaker 6: criminals here at home to Iranian mullas hoping to blow
- 1:02:44Speaker 6: us the Kingdom come. Lacking any growth or security agenda.
- 1:02:49Speaker 6: Democrats are corrupt to the core, which got me wondering, Brian,
- 1:02:55Speaker 6: has there ever been an institution that proved incorruptible, a
- 1:03:00Speaker 6: group so high minded it was immune to Lord Acton's warning.
- 1:03:05Speaker 6: Maybe because this is the last time we're going to
- 1:03:07Speaker 6: be talking before Easter, I came up with one. One
- 1:03:10Speaker 6: incorruptible institution. Monasteries. You didn't see that coming.
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: I didn't.
- 1:03:17Speaker 6: Monasteries, Christian monasteries shielded from temptation, monks taking a vow
- 1:03:23Speaker 6: of poverty, chastity, and service to God. If power can
- 1:03:28Speaker 6: corrupt monks, it really can't corrupt anything. Well, sadly, Brian, coming,
- 1:03:36Speaker 6: that's exactly what happened, Not today, and not with the
- 1:03:40Speaker 6: vast majority of monks, much less nuns anytime, but just
- 1:03:44Speaker 6: enough of them to threaten the entire institution. Until monasteries
- 1:03:50Speaker 6: underwent the kind of reform that our Leviathan government is
- 1:03:54Speaker 6: crying out for. Here's that history. The first monk, in
- 1:03:59Speaker 6: a way, was Jesus's cousin, John the Baptist. John wandered
- 1:04:04Speaker 6: in the wilderness wearing animal skins, eating locusts and wild honey,
- 1:04:09Speaker 6: proclaiming the coming of the Messiah. John paid for that
- 1:04:12Speaker 6: with his head. Nothing corrupt about him. The apostles were
- 1:04:16Speaker 6: also monks of a kind, living communally until they set
- 1:04:20Speaker 6: out across their own world preaching the Gospel. Except for Judas'
- 1:04:25Speaker 6: carrey it in his Thirty Pieces of Silver, the first
- 1:04:28Speaker 6: true monastery gathered monks in all places in Egypt. The
- 1:04:33Speaker 6: word monk comes from the Greek meaning solitary. Soon other
- 1:04:38Speaker 6: monasteries and then convents started spreading, led by saints, remarkable
- 1:04:42Speaker 6: people like Benedict and Francis, they improved farming, founded schools,
- 1:04:48Speaker 6: and together with Islamic scholars, a story we've told before.
- 1:04:52Speaker 6: Monasteries during the Dark Ages also preserved writings of the
- 1:04:56Speaker 6: ancient Greeks and Romans, paving the way for thenance. We
- 1:05:00Speaker 6: should pay particular attention to that, because we may be
- 1:05:03Speaker 6: entering another period of dark ages. At their best, monasteries
- 1:05:08Speaker 6: devoted themselves to the imitation of Christ. For instance, during
- 1:05:12Speaker 6: a terrible famine in the twelfth century, one monastery in
- 1:05:16Speaker 6: Westphalia slaughtered all of its flocks and herds, sold its
- 1:05:20Speaker 6: books and even sacred vessels, and donated the proceeds to
- 1:05:24Speaker 6: feed the poor. That was the ideal. However, many monasteries
- 1:05:30Speaker 6: fell short of the ideal. They became rich because rich
- 1:05:34Speaker 6: benefactors bequeathed them fortunes. Try to buy a ticket to heaven.
- 1:05:39Speaker 6: Monasteries expanded their land holdings. They accepted into their ranks
- 1:05:43Speaker 6: the cronies of their day, the younger sons of noblemen.
- 1:05:47Speaker 6: They paid laymen to do the hard work they used
- 1:05:49Speaker 6: to do, and let many abbots and friars live like
- 1:05:53Speaker 6: anyone but John the Baptist. Does this remind you of
- 1:05:58Speaker 6: anything of maybe modern politicians, maybe our entire Congress. The
- 1:06:04Speaker 6: good news, in every sense is that for monasteries, decadentes
- 1:06:09Speaker 6: finally brought on reform. The Protestant Reformation and the Catholic
- 1:06:14Speaker 6: counter Reformation drove these latter day money changers out of
- 1:06:18Speaker 6: the temple. We don't have time to continue the much
- 1:06:21Speaker 6: more uplifting history that followed. Suffice it to say I
- 1:06:25Speaker 6: have enormous respect for the more than five hundred and
- 1:06:28Speaker 6: eighty monasteries today in the US alone. My point is that,
- 1:06:34Speaker 6: just as in medieval times when corrupt monasteries sold out
- 1:06:38Speaker 6: deeply devout brothers in Christ, today the Democrat Party and
- 1:06:43Speaker 6: some Republicans, in a quest for power and graft, they
- 1:06:47Speaker 6: have sold out core constituencies. American workers whose wages are
- 1:06:52Speaker 6: undercut by tens of millions of illegal migrants here at home,
- 1:06:56Speaker 6: and by manufacturers who ship their jobs to communists China,
- 1:07:00Speaker 6: families whose kids' education has been sacrificed to the greed
- 1:07:04Speaker 6: of teacher unions. Inner city minorities made abjectly dependent on
- 1:07:10Speaker 6: Democrat big government for food, housing, everything except their safety
- 1:07:15Speaker 6: because big government leads them utterly unsafe from street thugs
- 1:07:20Speaker 6: and from enemies like communists China and Iran Brian. Just
- 1:07:25Speaker 6: as churches had to reform themselves and rid themselves of
- 1:07:29Speaker 6: corrupt prelates, America has to rid itself of corrupt, power
- 1:07:33Speaker 6: hungry politicians and their paymasters in both parties, because if
- 1:07:38Speaker 6: you can corrupt a monastery, imagine what you can do
- 1:07:42Speaker 6: to a political party. Or rather don't imagine. Just look
- 1:07:46Speaker 6: and then in the coming primaries, and especially this November
- 1:07:51Speaker 6: vote to cleanse America, what do you say, brother.
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: Brian, Well, the reformation process brought about by a lot
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: of of course, and that was a positive thing. I
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: know a lot of my listeners are clamoring for non incumbents,
- 1:08:06Speaker 2: those who have not benefited from the political machine, those
- 1:08:09Speaker 2: whose hands are clean and free of the corruption about
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: which you speak, and I understand that maybe this is
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: a form of reformation on our own. We don't need
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: term limits. We just need to make more informed, better
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: choices when it goes to selecting candidates.
- 1:08:20Speaker 6: Jack, Yeah, we have to get behind outsiders, anybody who
- 1:08:24Speaker 6: is running against incumbents that we feel are falling short
- 1:08:27Speaker 6: of the job. And I'm not going to name some
- 1:08:29Speaker 6: of them. Some of them don't have opponents incoming primaries,
- 1:08:33Speaker 6: and that really is a shame because everybody, even the
- 1:08:36Speaker 6: good ones, even the best, have to face challenges in
- 1:08:39Speaker 6: order to stay on their toes. Something more about the Democrats, Brian.
- 1:08:45Speaker 6: Democrat leaders like Chuck Schumer, Zora and Momdami. They're no
- 1:08:50Speaker 6: longer even trying to pass as Centrists. And the scariest
- 1:08:54Speaker 6: thing about that claim from Haaking Jeffreys that ice agents
- 1:08:58Speaker 6: at airports will shoot passengers is that he knows millions
- 1:09:02Speaker 6: of Democrats will buy that. Why because they're so stupid.
- 1:09:09Speaker 6: I'm sorry, my Democrat friends and family, but it's true.
- 1:09:13Speaker 6: With their control of schools, social media, and most pop culture,
- 1:09:16Speaker 6: Democrats are racing to make America totally dependent on their
- 1:09:21Speaker 6: totalitarian big brother government. The fight against stupidity has to
- 1:09:26Speaker 6: begin at home, each of our homes and schools, and
- 1:09:30Speaker 6: just in time for Passover in the Easter, it's got
- 1:09:33Speaker 6: to beginning in our places of worship. The alternative is
- 1:09:36Speaker 6: literally unthinkable.
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: Indeed, you know it's interesting timing on your comments, Sir
- 1:09:41Speaker 2: Tom Hagener is going to join us at eight oh five.
- 1:09:42Speaker 2: He's going to empower you some of ar tonight about
- 1:09:44Speaker 2: socialist efforts to change American of course, focusing largely on
- 1:09:47Speaker 2: the education system, which is taken over by socialists. But
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: lo and behold Jack Avidan behind the scenes on that one.
- 1:09:54Speaker 2: What are we seeing in education? A reformation effort choice,
- 1:09:58Speaker 2: giving people the option, a growing growing rank of people
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: that are doing exactly that, more states giving people the option,
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: even the dollars follow the children as opposed going directly
- 1:10:07Speaker 2: to the public schools, which are nothing more than in
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: doctrination camp. So maybe we'll find ourselves on the other
- 1:10:12Speaker 2: side at some point, jack outed in any better place.
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: Thanks to the efforts by so many out there who
- 1:10:17Speaker 2: are pushing for school choice in order to prevent the
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: indoctrination of their children along these extraordinarily stupid lines.
- 1:10:23Speaker 6: And more and more parents and students realizing that they
- 1:10:27Speaker 6: don't need so called higher education. Higher education is a
- 1:10:31Speaker 6: racket that bill has started after World War Two with
- 1:10:33Speaker 6: the GI Bill. A lot of people, my dad among them,
- 1:10:36Speaker 6: did get a good education. My dad became a dietitian.
- 1:10:40Speaker 6: He didn't go to a university, and it stood them
- 1:10:42Speaker 6: in good stead. More and more people are realizing, you
- 1:10:46Speaker 6: got to get something that works. And we'll be talking
- 1:10:48Speaker 6: about AI when I come back after reaster. Great and
- 1:10:51Speaker 6: the fear that a lot of people have, but the
- 1:10:53Speaker 6: possibilities that AI opens, the possibilities that it's unfortunate term
- 1:10:59Speaker 6: but creative destruction has always presented to people going to
- 1:11:03Speaker 6: all the babyboard back to cavemen. Yes, that's a long
- 1:11:07Speaker 6: history for that talk.
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: Happy Easter to you early, Jack, look forward to next Wednesday,
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: another brilliant episode of the Big Picture with Jack Avan
- 1:11:14Speaker 2: and Jack Alan in best of health and loved you
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: and your better half. I'll look forward to talking with
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: you again real soon, my friend, you too, Thanks so
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: much sevent eighteen. Coming up in seven nineteen to fifty five,
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: gar see the talk station. Hey you excited about field Wednesday.
- 1:11:52Speaker 2: Brian Thomas always pleaded to talk to Donovan and Neil
- 1:11:53Speaker 2: for Americans for Prosperity. Hey, we got an affordability problem
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: in this country. AFP knows all about it. They're launching
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: a multi million dollar nationwide affordability campaign. Donald and Neil,
- 1:12:02Speaker 2: welcome back to the Morning Show. It's always great having
- 1:12:04Speaker 2: you on the program.
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: Brian, despite being in DC, I'm gladly with you.
- 1:12:09Speaker 2: I was getting ready to offer some condolences your venue.
- 1:12:13Speaker 2: I don't envy you at all. Donovan, So STAF travels
- 1:12:15Speaker 2: when you get out, and you might want to bring
- 1:12:17Speaker 2: the American flag out when you do come, because it
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: doesn't quite remember resemble America, at least that as I
- 1:12:22Speaker 2: know it. Anyway, AFP's joined with the Libra Initiative and
- 1:12:26Speaker 2: Concerned Veterans for America teaming up to well spread the
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: love about Affordability agenda and providing some options for Americans
- 1:12:34Speaker 2: to get some long term solutions to energy, housing, healthcare,
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: and everything else that the people deem unaffordable. But you
- 1:12:40Speaker 2: did a survey which is a real eye opener, Donovan,
- 1:12:43Speaker 2: fifteen hundred registered voters. This was before the gas price
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: increase brought about by the war between US and Iran.
- 1:12:50Speaker 2: But I know we're all struggling with that. Donald and
- 1:12:52Speaker 2: I paid four ninety nine per gallon yesterday. It was premium,
- 1:12:55Speaker 2: but right across the street from here, and that's obviously
- 1:12:58Speaker 2: a lot more than it used to be. So let's
- 1:13:00Speaker 2: talk about the results of the survey before we dive
- 1:13:02Speaker 2: on into AFP's sort of action points and how AFP
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: proposes dealing with affordability.
- 1:13:08Speaker 7: Donovan, Well, yeah, you know, we're we're an organization, right
- 1:13:13Speaker 7: that doesn't just put our finger in the wind and
- 1:13:14Speaker 7: kind of see where where things are blowing. We actually,
- 1:13:17Speaker 7: you know, regularly pull you know, run these polls that
- 1:13:21Speaker 7: to engauge the opinion of voters. We're out there knocking
- 1:13:23Speaker 7: doors every day, Brian, as you and your listeners will know,
- 1:13:26Speaker 7: to really connect with with real America, with real highlands,
- 1:13:29Speaker 7: real Americans, and the message that we're bringing to Capitol
- 1:13:31Speaker 7: Hills pretty straightforward.
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: We've got to get our policy agenda.
- 1:13:36Speaker 7: On track in this country. We are focused on the
- 1:13:38Speaker 7: wrong things. The real reality actually here is we aren't
- 1:13:41Speaker 7: focused on anything in this country. We've got seven different
- 1:13:45Speaker 7: things distracting Congress right now. And so our message on
- 1:13:48Speaker 7: affordability is, this is what the American people care about.
- 1:13:51Speaker 7: The polling shows it Republican, moderate Democrat. What they want
- 1:13:55Speaker 7: is lower gas prices, lower energy prices, more affordable growth trees,
- 1:14:00Speaker 7: and the ability to buy a home for their healthcare,
- 1:14:03Speaker 7: the simple stuff, right that makes the American dream possible.
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: It's feeling like it's getting further and further away.
- 1:14:10Speaker 7: And the more time Congress spends, you know, distracted by
- 1:14:15Speaker 7: you know, the scroll of the day, the less time
- 1:14:17Speaker 7: they're spending actually getting things done to the American people.
- 1:14:20Speaker 7: That's the message of bringing to Capitol Hill. And it's
- 1:14:21Speaker 7: what the pulling, you know, sort of bears out as well.
- 1:14:24Speaker 6: Well.
- 1:14:24Speaker 2: I think the immediate pain of the gas price increase
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: is hitting everybody. And of course Donald Trump did a
- 1:14:28Speaker 2: wonderful job of the all the above strategy opened a
- 1:14:30Speaker 2: lot of drilling and oil and natural gas production. Things
- 1:14:34Speaker 2: were going great. Price of gasoline was the lowest that
- 1:14:36Speaker 2: had been in the last time. I mean, I couldn't
- 1:14:38Speaker 2: remember how long it's been since we were paying like
- 1:14:39Speaker 2: two dollars a gallon for gasoline. But here we are
- 1:14:43Speaker 2: average in the Greater Cincinnati area is four dollars. So
- 1:14:47Speaker 2: that is so you can give Trump credit for what
- 1:14:50Speaker 2: it was before the war started. But then immediately people
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: are going to pivot over and say, well, if Donald
- 1:14:54Speaker 2: Trump hadn't started bombing round the straight of Horror, moves
- 1:14:56Speaker 2: would be open and we wouldn't have to deal with
- 1:14:58Speaker 2: the dollar increase in gasoline. I mean, how do you
- 1:15:00Speaker 2: reconcile those seemingly contradictory realities, you know, in advocating for
- 1:15:04Speaker 2: conservative principles at Donovan, Well, that's part of the message
- 1:15:09Speaker 2: of bringing as well.
- 1:15:10Speaker 7: Right, you know, the president has secured America, has secured
- 1:15:13Speaker 7: some very important strategic and tactical victories in Iran. Right now,
- 1:15:18Speaker 7: you know, our opinion is we should you know, double
- 1:15:21Speaker 7: down those and then and call it and call it
- 1:15:23Speaker 7: a victory and get out of there. Otherwise we're going
- 1:15:25Speaker 7: to find ourselves in another endless war. You know what
- 1:15:29Speaker 7: the American people elected this Republican majority to go do
- 1:15:33Speaker 7: back in twenty twenty four, just what fourteen fifteen, short, short.
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: Months ago was They wanted affordability.
- 1:15:39Speaker 7: We saw what four years of Bidenomics looked like, right
- 1:15:41Speaker 7: with record level federal spending. We saw what an unsecured
- 1:15:45Speaker 7: border looked like with with you know, mass of legal immigration.
- 1:15:49Speaker 7: We saw what failed energy policy looked like with high
- 1:15:53Speaker 7: fuel prices. And you know, I think what the voters,
- 1:15:57Speaker 7: you know, in a midterm year, the typical reaction for
- 1:16:00Speaker 7: you know, the party in power, which in this case
- 1:16:02Speaker 7: as Republicans, is to you know, hunker down, cover your
- 1:16:05Speaker 7: head and just hope that you know, the damage isn't
- 1:16:08Speaker 7: so bad that it gets to your you know, as
- 1:16:09Speaker 7: if your congressman gets to your district. But the reality
- 1:16:12Speaker 7: is is, like, we have the vision, we have the
- 1:16:15Speaker 7: agenda President Trump landed utter a state of a Union.
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: We've put out our affordability.
- 1:16:19Speaker 7: Agenda that aligns very nicely with what the White House
- 1:16:22Speaker 7: is advocating for and what honestly many congressional leaders say
- 1:16:26Speaker 7: we need to do. The problem is sort of getting
- 1:16:29Speaker 7: these ducks in a row.
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: Right.
- 1:16:30Speaker 7: You got four hundred and thirty five some of them
- 1:16:33Speaker 7: here in the country in Congress. We've got to get
- 1:16:36Speaker 7: those folks lined up, at least the Republican ones, right,
- 1:16:39Speaker 7: the two hundred and eighteen or so of them, to
- 1:16:41Speaker 7: go finish the things they were elected to do. Chief
- 1:16:45Speaker 7: among them right now, especially with energy prices skyrocketing, is
- 1:16:48Speaker 7: get it, you know, it is permitting reform like the
- 1:16:50Speaker 7: Speed Act that's gonna unleash energy abundance in all in
- 1:16:53Speaker 7: this country once again.
- 1:16:54Speaker 2: Right, A longer term solution, which cord of the polling
- 1:16:57Speaker 2: you guys did this survey you conducted voter seed bigger
- 1:17:00Speaker 2: economic fixes, not short term controls, is more convincing solutions,
- 1:17:04Speaker 2: so people will embrace this idea of let's say, for example,
- 1:17:08Speaker 2: something I've been on a tearr on. You know, it
- 1:17:10Speaker 2: may be moving forward towards small nuclear reactors, reducing the
- 1:17:13Speaker 2: regulatory burden to allow them to be built more cheaper
- 1:17:16Speaker 2: and more efficiently, thus bringing online some very reliable power
- 1:17:20Speaker 2: without your carbon dog soil. I'll put whatever, but that
- 1:17:22Speaker 2: is a longer term that's not going to be done overnight.
- 1:17:25Speaker 2: But if I suppose if Americans can see some progress
- 1:17:28Speaker 2: going down that road, they may see some hope at
- 1:17:30Speaker 2: least that their electricity bill might go out or at
- 1:17:32Speaker 2: least that their lights will stay on.
- 1:17:36Speaker 8: Well.
- 1:17:36Speaker 7: Absolutely, And part of that polling that we did as well, right,
- 1:17:39Speaker 7: is we didn't just kind of gauge, Hey, what's the
- 1:17:41Speaker 7: most important issuest to you and what do you think
- 1:17:43Speaker 7: IRIS needs to do?
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: You know, that's pretty straightforward point.
- 1:17:46Speaker 7: We didn't took it a level deeper, right and began
- 1:17:48Speaker 7: to say, hey, what do you believe as an American?
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: Is you know, what reforms do you believe that an American.
- 1:17:54Speaker 7: Are going to make the most impact and modernizing energy regulations,
- 1:17:58Speaker 7: believe it or not, Taking law that were enacted in
- 1:18:00Speaker 7: the late sixties, early seventies.
- 1:18:03Speaker 1: And modernizing them.
- 1:18:05Speaker 7: Heah, you know twenty twenty six people American people say like.
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: Yeah, it's common sense stuff, right right.
- 1:18:11Speaker 7: You know in Congress, common sense doesn't win the day always,
- 1:18:15Speaker 7: and that's why we're here to remind them. Hey, I'm
- 1:18:17Speaker 7: from Ohio. You know, we're out there talking to people.
- 1:18:21Speaker 7: These are the things they want, and get at it
- 1:18:23Speaker 7: and we're gonna be okay in this country.
- 1:18:25Speaker 2: You know, that's a really important point to remember. A
- 1:18:26Speaker 2: lot of these rigs are so old. Technology has passed
- 1:18:29Speaker 2: them up, leading them making them look sort of comical
- 1:18:32Speaker 2: on paper now, you know, I go back to the
- 1:18:34Speaker 2: like for example, one of my favorite pet peeves the
- 1:18:35Speaker 2: fifty five mile an hour speed them and now sixty
- 1:18:37Speaker 2: five in a lot of places. But that was put
- 1:18:39Speaker 2: in place when breaks were all drum breaks and it
- 1:18:42Speaker 2: took like nine years to bring your car to a
- 1:18:44Speaker 2: stop and cars weighed about ninety jillion pounds. It didn't
- 1:18:46Speaker 2: have airbags and anti lock breaks. It's just a dumb rule.
- 1:18:49Speaker 2: It's past its prime. That's just a little side note
- 1:18:52Speaker 2: on yeah, how O, how laws and rules don't age? Well,
- 1:18:55Speaker 2: I want to bring it back down some of the
- 1:18:56Speaker 2: important fundings from the surveys. It turns out people are
- 1:18:59Speaker 2: really really astute to where the problems come from government.
- 1:19:04Speaker 2: Maybe more with Donald and O'Neil for Americans for Prosperity,
- 1:19:06Speaker 2: but if you're serious about improving your shooting, what an
- 1:19:09Speaker 2: important thing to know about seven forty here fifty bove
- 1:19:13Speaker 2: KRCD talk station Americans for Prosperity help them help you.
- 1:19:17Speaker 2: It's easy to help out with AFP and learn how to.
- 1:19:20Speaker 2: Octors will tell you how to do that, give you
- 1:19:22Speaker 2: the skills you need. Help out in any level. You
- 1:19:24Speaker 2: can a little bit, a lot either way. We'll take
- 1:19:26Speaker 2: whatever we can get. In terms of spreading the message,
- 1:19:28Speaker 2: there's a better way out there, one that can lead
- 1:19:30Speaker 2: to affordability. Of course, affordability a key issue, and that's
- 1:19:33Speaker 2: what this survey shows. AFP did a survey with along
- 1:19:35Speaker 2: with a couple of other organizations, and you know, Donovan
- 1:19:38Speaker 2: and Neil, I'm really refreshed to see the results of
- 1:19:40Speaker 2: the survey. People, I guess are really astute. They know
- 1:19:43Speaker 2: where the fault lies, and that is basically government. I mean,
- 1:19:47Speaker 2: percentage of people that believe government is making things harder
- 1:19:50Speaker 2: not easier is overwhelming. Sixty one percent says government makes
- 1:19:53Speaker 2: it harder rather than easier. Three quarters say government actions
- 1:19:56Speaker 2: contribute to higher consumer prices. So we're not dumb as
- 1:19:59Speaker 2: they take us to be. Donovan, No, that's absolutely right.
- 1:20:04Speaker 7: I mean, the voters know where the problems lie, and
- 1:20:07Speaker 7: I think you know that's part of the you know,
- 1:20:10Speaker 7: if there's any silver lining to the last several years,
- 1:20:14Speaker 7: you know, from COVID through the Bidenomics era. Is folks
- 1:20:17Speaker 7: saw the impact government can have on their lives, the
- 1:20:20Speaker 7: negative impact government can have on their lives, and they said, look,
- 1:20:23Speaker 7: we don't need more you know, welfare programs. We don't
- 1:20:26Speaker 7: need more handouts even hand ups.
- 1:20:29Speaker 1: Right.
- 1:20:29Speaker 7: What we want is Congress government to do the things
- 1:20:32Speaker 7: it's got to do to kind of modernize the laws,
- 1:20:36Speaker 7: clean up the regulatory regime, and really just empower people, right,
- 1:20:39Speaker 7: create an environment where people could make their American dream possible.
- 1:20:42Speaker 7: From healthcare, where we're sending money to you know, you know,
- 1:20:47Speaker 7: the six largest health insurance companies through you know, Unaffordable
- 1:20:51Speaker 7: Care Act subsidies, instead of doing that, how do we
- 1:20:53Speaker 7: put it into health savings accounts?
- 1:20:55Speaker 2: Yeah, let the money follow the people. Like this big
- 1:20:57Speaker 2: trend we're all on with school choice, same thing applies.
- 1:21:01Speaker 7: Well, the same with energy, right, Instead of picking winners
- 1:21:04Speaker 7: and losers in the energy marketplace like we've been doing
- 1:21:06Speaker 7: for twenty thirty years now, you know, picking wind and solar,
- 1:21:09Speaker 7: which are fine, right, but we're picking that over baseload
- 1:21:13Speaker 7: generation like your favorite nuclear and coal and oil and gas. Right,
- 1:21:16Speaker 7: Instead of doing that, how about we just create an
- 1:21:18Speaker 7: environment where all energy players you know, based on the
- 1:21:21Speaker 7: market cost of bringing that energy to the grid.
- 1:21:24Speaker 1: Yeah, get to get to decide, right, But yeah, how.
- 1:21:27Speaker 2: About yeah, our FP submit us an energy proposal to
- 1:21:31Speaker 2: those who can provide energy, submit your proposal for energy.
- 1:21:34Speaker 2: We will judge it on its merits. The best way
- 1:21:36Speaker 2: to go is what what does your RFP say, how
- 1:21:38Speaker 2: much can your windmill generate? If that's the way you
- 1:21:40Speaker 2: want to go compared to say, somebody else, you might
- 1:21:42Speaker 2: go with more traditional power generation methodologies like natural gas, coal, nuclear, whatever.
- 1:21:47Speaker 2: So if one is obviously better than the other, then
- 1:21:51Speaker 2: you go with the one that's better. That's not bad.
- 1:21:53Speaker 2: That way everybody compete. But we all know that without
- 1:21:56Speaker 2: subsidies from the government, solar and wind can't compete in
- 1:22:00Speaker 2: terms of volume of power and reliability of power.
- 1:22:04Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:22:05Speaker 7: Yeah, well, and that's the you know, to put a
- 1:22:08Speaker 7: you know, underlying bold and put an acclamation mark on it.
- 1:22:11Speaker 7: That's that's what the American people want, right is getting
- 1:22:13Speaker 7: government out of the way. They believe government makes things harder,
- 1:22:16Speaker 7: not easier. And you know, Congress has a number of
- 1:22:20Speaker 7: bills and number of things they can do right now
- 1:22:21Speaker 7: today if they have the willpower to do it and
- 1:22:24Speaker 7: set it to the President's desk for signature that we
- 1:22:26Speaker 7: get government out of the way.
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: We just got to get them on track to do
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: it well.
- 1:22:30Speaker 2: And one of the examples you pointed out in the
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: materials about what we can do and a great illustration
- 1:22:34Speaker 2: of the problem that you and I are talking about,
- 1:22:36Speaker 2: you know, on a ten thousand foot level, on a
- 1:22:38Speaker 2: specific level, and going back to the not short term fixes,
- 1:22:42Speaker 2: but longer term solutions. Recently, I think it was the
- 1:22:45Speaker 2: Donald Trump suspended the Jones Act in order to bring
- 1:22:49Speaker 2: about greater shipping. Now, the Jones Act forces the the
- 1:22:53Speaker 2: US ports to only carry goods be only carried on
- 1:22:56Speaker 2: vessels that are built, owned and crewed by Americans. Donovan,
- 1:22:59Speaker 2: I don't even know the make ships in America anymore.
- 1:23:01Speaker 2: It's kind of an offshore problem with that. So that
- 1:23:04Speaker 2: really increases the cost of shipping just getting rid of that.
- 1:23:07Speaker 2: And Donald Trump demonstrated that, well, we're gonna wave that
- 1:23:09Speaker 2: for a while to get through these problems. Waving it
- 1:23:11Speaker 2: reduces prices. Same thing goes with just the other day
- 1:23:14Speaker 2: he said he's gonna wave the summer gas rules as
- 1:23:17Speaker 2: soon as today. Summer gas rules which make you remix
- 1:23:20Speaker 2: to reduce smog in the summertime that increases the price
- 1:23:23Speaker 2: of gasoline. Look, how about a long term fix, just
- 1:23:26Speaker 2: get rid of the damn thing. So there's two things
- 1:23:28Speaker 2: right there, quick solutions which will provide long term relief.
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, you know.
- 1:23:33Speaker 7: And again, you know a lot of these laws, all
- 1:23:36Speaker 7: of these laws get enacted because somebody feels like it's
- 1:23:39Speaker 7: gonna make things better, right, or trying to solve some problem,
- 1:23:42Speaker 7: But they don't count among that are the downstream effects
- 1:23:46Speaker 7: of the you know, these top down policy making out
- 1:23:48Speaker 7: of Washington, DC. You know, kudos to the President Trump
- 1:23:51Speaker 7: for identifying the Jones Act, right, especially, you know, if
- 1:23:54Speaker 7: we're gonna be involved in a protracted conflict in the
- 1:23:57Speaker 7: Middle East and we're gonna tie our hands with some
- 1:23:59Speaker 7: arb tray laws like the Jones Act that make it
- 1:24:03Speaker 7: harder to get products, goods, and services moves around this
- 1:24:06Speaker 7: country or into this country.
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: Good all the President for you know, putting that Jones
- 1:24:11Speaker 1: Act down.
- 1:24:11Speaker 7: But again, we don't want to do it, if you know,
- 1:24:13Speaker 7: if it's good, right, if we saw this during COVID too,
- 1:24:15Speaker 7: with so many weird healthcare rules, right, like, hey, you
- 1:24:18Speaker 7: can't you can't get a prescription unless you go in
- 1:24:20Speaker 7: and have the doctor see you. Right, you pay for that,
- 1:24:23Speaker 7: or you can't you know, go see a doctor to
- 1:24:25Speaker 7: get a you know, a medicine if you've got the flu,
- 1:24:28Speaker 7: like tell amedicine.
- 1:24:29Speaker 1: Right.
- 1:24:29Speaker 7: Well, we saw the silliness of these arbitrary rules that
- 1:24:33Speaker 7: were put into place to force people's behaviors. You know,
- 1:24:38Speaker 7: we got rid of them. Jones Act is another example
- 1:24:40Speaker 7: of that. We can get rid of that today. Let's
- 1:24:42Speaker 7: not just good just to pause it temporarily, but like
- 1:24:46Speaker 7: Congress could go act today, remove the Jones Act and
- 1:24:50Speaker 7: make make shipping and the access to goods and services
- 1:24:53Speaker 7: in this country much much more easier if again, if
- 1:24:57Speaker 7: they get focused on the right mission.
- 1:24:59Speaker 2: Well, and by overwhelming numbers, voters believe government actions well
- 1:25:04Speaker 2: raise consumer prices. And overwhelmingly they say government regulations specifically
- 1:25:08Speaker 2: increased costs. And one of the illustrations you provided in
- 1:25:11Speaker 2: your materials with AFP is the bullet that we dodged
- 1:25:14Speaker 2: coming out of the US Department of Energy. They were
- 1:25:16Speaker 2: proposing that rule that altered the standards for commercial refrigerators
- 1:25:19Speaker 2: and freezers, like they've done with so many other things. Oh,
- 1:25:21Speaker 2: you're going to shave a little bit of money over
- 1:25:23Speaker 2: the years. This is going to keep x amount of
- 1:25:24Speaker 2: carbon out of the atmosphere, But the price of the
- 1:25:26Speaker 2: damn thing's going to go up. And you got to
- 1:25:27Speaker 2: rely on the grid because everything's electric. Nobody wanted that,
- 1:25:31Speaker 2: and fortunately it didn't go into effect, but clearly the
- 1:25:34Speaker 2: price of these specific appliance was going to increase. And
- 1:25:36Speaker 2: because electricity has gone through the roof for a lot
- 1:25:38Speaker 2: of reasons we've talked about this morning, the price of
- 1:25:41Speaker 2: operating it's going to go up, So no net savings overall.
- 1:25:43Speaker 2: And gee, what is the elimination of carbon from a
- 1:25:46Speaker 2: dryer going to do for the planet given the naturally
- 1:25:49Speaker 2: occurring phenomena like a wildfire of volcano Negate, all of
- 1:25:53Speaker 2: human efforts to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
- 1:25:55Speaker 7: Donovan and Neil, Well, well absolutely know what I would
- 1:26:00Speaker 7: say to that, and the message we're bringing the Capitol
- 1:26:02Speaker 7: Hill today as we go and have these meetings throughout
- 1:26:04Speaker 7: the day to day and tomorrow is going to be Look,
- 1:26:07Speaker 7: you know, congressmen, you worked your district, You've knocked doors,
- 1:26:12Speaker 7: you've met with constituents, You've been on record saying the
- 1:26:15Speaker 7: things that we need to get done. We've got two
- 1:26:18Speaker 7: opportunities this year, right in a midterm election year. Either
- 1:26:21Speaker 7: we can you know, you can hunker down, take the
- 1:26:23Speaker 7: losses and potentially lose the majority, in which case, you know,
- 1:26:28Speaker 7: the last two years of President Trump's administration a very
- 1:26:31Speaker 7: severe lame duck. Or you know, you can follow through
- 1:26:35Speaker 7: one of the things you know, just as an American
- 1:26:38Speaker 7: citizen need to happen in this country that Republicans have
- 1:26:42Speaker 7: the majority to act on today. And you know, worst case,
- 1:26:47Speaker 7: you know, trends continue like they do and Democrats take
- 1:26:50Speaker 7: control of Washington and Congress.
- 1:26:52Speaker 1: But along that path, we made good things happen.
- 1:26:55Speaker 7: We fixed the problems that so many people have, you know,
- 1:26:59Speaker 7: kicked the proverbial can down.
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: The road on that we know will work.
- 1:27:03Speaker 7: And by the way, I think, Brian, if we go
- 1:27:05Speaker 7: do those things, your organizations like our is going to
- 1:27:07Speaker 7: be out there advocating and reminding folks. Hey, you know,
- 1:27:10Speaker 7: folks like Warren Davidson, David Taylor, you know, vote for
- 1:27:13Speaker 7: these folks like Greg Landsman voted against common sense, you know,
- 1:27:17Speaker 7: reforms to our country, and you know, voter so and
- 1:27:20Speaker 7: so maybe you should remember that when you have a
- 1:27:22Speaker 7: ballot box in November.
- 1:27:23Speaker 1: I like that.
- 1:27:24Speaker 2: Don't get caught up in the moment right now. Yes,
- 1:27:27Speaker 2: things are a little rocky right now, but if you
- 1:27:28Speaker 2: think about long term and the big picture, which everyone
- 1:27:31Speaker 2: seems to want, we've got great results that you can
- 1:27:33Speaker 2: show two people as you go door to door, look
- 1:27:36Speaker 2: what was done, and you run the risk of the
- 1:27:38Speaker 2: Democrats unfixing it or breaking it and putting us back
- 1:27:42Speaker 2: in a bad place that we were. Donald and Neil
- 1:27:44Speaker 2: Americans for Prosperity it's AFP action dot com where folks
- 1:27:47Speaker 2: go to get involved, right Donovan.
- 1:27:50Speaker 7: Well, that's if you want to get involved on the
- 1:27:51Speaker 7: work to you know, keep Senator John Houstead in office.
- 1:27:54Speaker 1: Well about if you want to learn about.
- 1:27:56Speaker 7: This affordability campaign and the work we're doing there, go
- 1:27:58Speaker 7: to Americans for Prosperity dot org slash affordability and you
- 1:28:03Speaker 7: can download the playbook and maybe send it over.
- 1:28:05Speaker 1: To your congressman. Let them know you want to see them
- 1:28:07Speaker 1: put it into action.
- 1:28:08Speaker 2: Easy action item for people to accomplish without even Hey,
- 1:28:11Speaker 2: don't hang your hat on it. But things looked at
- 1:28:13Speaker 2: least pretty decent in oral argument just in front of
- 1:28:15Speaker 2: the Supreme Court. A group of thirteen asylum seekers fought
- 1:28:17Speaker 2: a suit back in twenty seventeen challenging the policy called metering.
- 1:28:22Speaker 1: Now.
- 1:28:22Speaker 2: Metering is where border agents in the United States, primarily
- 1:28:25Speaker 2: ports of entry, turn away asylum seekers to avoid overcrowding.
- 1:28:31Speaker 2: Federal law says that any alien who is physically present
- 1:28:35Speaker 2: in the United States or who arrives in the United
- 1:28:38Speaker 2: States may apply for asylum may regardless of legal status.
- 1:28:43Speaker 2: So the planners are arguing that just showing up at
- 1:28:47Speaker 2: the border is complies with that. In the United States argument,
- 1:28:53Speaker 2: Sam Belita says, do you think someone who comes in
- 1:28:55Speaker 2: the front door of a house and knocks at the
- 1:28:57Speaker 2: door has arrived in the house? Great question, Sam, Metering
- 1:29:03Speaker 2: in case you think this is some evil Trumpian proposition
- 1:29:06Speaker 2: started under who do you think?
- 1:29:08Speaker 1: Right?
- 1:29:08Speaker 2: Barack Obama and continued until it was resented by Joe
- 1:29:11Speaker 2: Biden in twenty twenty one, although the administration, the Biden
- 1:29:15Speaker 2: administration can continued to defend the legality of metering in court.
- 1:29:19Speaker 2: So not doing it, but we say we can do it,
- 1:29:22Speaker 2: providing them with a measure of flexibility should they need
- 1:29:24Speaker 2: metering again. Soum seekers argue the policy violate of the
- 1:29:27Speaker 2: Immigration Nationality Act, which requires immigration officers to inspect quote
- 1:29:31Speaker 2: an alien present in the United States who has not
- 1:29:36Speaker 2: been admitted or who arrives in the United States. See
- 1:29:38Speaker 2: I keep emphasizing the word in because if you're not
- 1:29:40Speaker 2: at the front or if you're at the front door,
- 1:29:42Speaker 2: you ain't in the house, sam Alito. So of course
- 1:29:46Speaker 2: the liberal justices tend to push back on that. But
- 1:29:49Speaker 2: if history is any guid given the makeup of the court,
- 1:29:51Speaker 2: we may get some resolution on that very important issue.
- 1:29:55Speaker 1: Wait for it.
- 1:29:56Speaker 2: It'll be out in several months, presumably seven point fifty six.
- 1:30:00Speaker 2: Don't have to wait for him. A six here fifty
- 1:30:02Speaker 2: five carseed he talks totation. Very happy Wednesday to you
- 1:30:05Speaker 2: love those empower Youth seminars and thinking a Dan Regnold
- 1:30:09Speaker 2: who created the Power Youth Seminar series. Tonight, we have
- 1:30:12Speaker 2: got a special empower Use seminar taking place at seven pm,
- 1:30:14Speaker 2: as they all do. You can show up a three
- 1:30:16Speaker 2: undred grede Oaks drive and the side annex, or log
- 1:30:18Speaker 2: in from the comfort of your own home by going
- 1:30:19Speaker 2: to empower you America dot org. But first register you're
- 1:30:22Speaker 2: gonna get a couple of things. Last week we talked
- 1:30:24Speaker 2: with Adam Kaylor about the Cincinnati Exchange, his opportunity for
- 1:30:27Speaker 2: everyone to get involved in reporting, and he's making it
- 1:30:30Speaker 2: really simple to do that. That's the take twenty but
- 1:30:32Speaker 2: the primary speaker tonight. Welcome back to the fifty five
- 1:30:34Speaker 2: KRSSE Morning Show. Tom Hagenhorn, who has been researching and
- 1:30:37Speaker 2: talking about the many facets of Western socialism and progressivism
- 1:30:41Speaker 2: over the last multiple years. He's given other talks that
- 1:30:44Speaker 2: empower you on socialism, socialism in the USA, a brief
- 1:30:48Speaker 2: history ESG, introducing our new World government, American education and
- 1:30:52Speaker 2: it's takeover by international socialism, as well as the climate
- 1:30:55Speaker 2: calamity Climate Change Exposed. Welcome back to the fifty five
- 1:30:59Speaker 2: CARSSE Morning Show. Tom Haggard Orn. You're gonna be doing
- 1:31:01Speaker 2: a speech tonight about the update on socialist efforts to
- 1:31:05Speaker 2: change America. It's good to have you back on the show, Tom, Yes.
- 1:31:08Speaker 8: Sir, excited to be with you this morning, Brian, and
- 1:31:10Speaker 8: to be there tonight.
- 1:31:12Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:31:12Speaker 2: I saw that Campus Reporting, Sir. They did a survey
- 1:31:15Speaker 2: of young people and really disturbing to find out that
- 1:31:19Speaker 2: the very substantial majority of young people, say age twenty
- 1:31:23Speaker 2: to thirty five, or whatever. Young From my standpoint, anyway,
- 1:31:26Speaker 2: I think that socialism is a great thing. Like sixty
- 1:31:28Speaker 2: five seventy percent say socialism is a better way than
- 1:31:31Speaker 2: I guess capitalism. About thirty five percent, if I'm remembering
- 1:31:35Speaker 2: the figures correctly, in that survey, said communism. They embrace
- 1:31:39Speaker 2: communism as well. I don't know where this comes from,
- 1:31:42Speaker 2: because I try to view things through the lens of
- 1:31:44Speaker 2: common sense and reason, and I find the old concept
- 1:31:48Speaker 2: of socialism not only offensive conceptually, but if I bother
- 1:31:52Speaker 2: to look back in history, a failed effort every time
- 1:31:56Speaker 2: it's been tried. How in the hell is it that
- 1:31:58Speaker 2: so many people think it's the right.
- 1:31:59Speaker 1: Way to go.
- 1:32:02Speaker 8: Well, it's because of our educational system. And I know
- 1:32:05Speaker 8: this will raise people's eyebrows and they'll wonder, well, that
- 1:32:08Speaker 8: can't be happening at my Forest Hill School district, or
- 1:32:13Speaker 8: Lakota or Mason or Batavia. But yes it is, and
- 1:32:18Speaker 8: it's been actually a plan that started about one hundred
- 1:32:21Speaker 8: years ago, and it's indisputable. Really. So that's going to
- 1:32:24Speaker 8: be about a fourth of my talk tonight, bouncing off
- 1:32:27Speaker 8: of the survey. I'll give you I've got it right here,
- 1:32:30Speaker 8: and I'll go to survey right here in front of me.
- 1:32:32Speaker 8: So here's what happened, was the socialist plan really didn't.
- 1:32:39Speaker 8: It took them like sixty years to get it embedded
- 1:32:42Speaker 8: in our school system, but by nineteen eighty it had
- 1:32:46Speaker 8: been so baby boomers an older right now, they have
- 1:32:50Speaker 8: a positive Their positive image of socialism is twenty four
- 1:32:54Speaker 8: percent capitalism sixty three, so it's a three to one ratio.
- 1:32:59Speaker 8: Capitalism them beat socialism. But if you go to the
- 1:33:03Speaker 8: youngest people ages eighteen to twenty eight, it's about even
- 1:33:07Speaker 8: fifty five percent have a positive view of socialism fifty
- 1:33:12Speaker 8: seven percent capitalism, which is a little bit puzzling. But yeah, people,
- 1:33:16Speaker 8: I guess they think, well, a little bit of each
- 1:33:18Speaker 8: is okay.
- 1:33:19Speaker 2: Well with tomic let me interject real quick. Let me
- 1:33:22Speaker 2: just interject real quick. Without capitalism, there can be no socialism.
- 1:33:26Speaker 8: That's well the socialist Lifalin, Styalin and and China has
- 1:33:31Speaker 8: figured that out, haven't they.
- 1:33:33Speaker 1: Yes, they have.
- 1:33:34Speaker 8: They have elements of private of free markets. Elements of
- 1:33:38Speaker 8: free markets.
- 1:33:40Speaker 2: Yeah, like the green energy equipment they sell us while
- 1:33:44Speaker 2: they build coal plants, laughing, while they sell us a
- 1:33:47Speaker 2: bill of goods that they have perpetuated in social media
- 1:33:50Speaker 2: and elsewhere.
- 1:33:52Speaker 8: If you look at the other age practice. I'm not
- 1:33:54Speaker 8: going to get into the you know, the eye glazing
- 1:33:58Speaker 8: detail numbers, but generation by generation it's been progressively as people,
- 1:34:06Speaker 8: as people younger people have gone have been more and
- 1:34:09Speaker 8: more exposed to the system, and it's gotten worse over
- 1:34:12Speaker 8: the years. Socialism goes from twenty four to twenty seven
- 1:34:17Speaker 8: to thirty seven to fifty five percent. It's our school systems, Brian,
- 1:34:21Speaker 8: and it's your I'm telling people out there, your kids,
- 1:34:25Speaker 8: your grandkids, it's their school system that you probably you know,
- 1:34:30Speaker 8: love going to the games, and you went there and
- 1:34:33Speaker 8: you just think it's great. It's subtle, but it's there,
- 1:34:36Speaker 8: and it starts in pre school, literally starts in pre
- 1:34:41Speaker 8: school propaganda.
- 1:34:43Speaker 2: Yeah, Tom propaganda, this whole idea of pre k education,
- 1:34:48Speaker 2: incorporating that into the public education system, that you're going
- 1:34:51Speaker 2: to bring your little babies in and have them, you know,
- 1:34:54Speaker 2: I think about suffering the children to come unto me.
- 1:34:55Speaker 2: You can teach little children that Santa Claus is a
- 1:34:58Speaker 2: real thing. You can teach children socialism always works. Just
- 1:35:02Speaker 2: get them there early enough and they don't have any
- 1:35:04Speaker 2: context with which to refute your propositions. That's frightening stuff.
- 1:35:08Speaker 2: This is an indoctrination past.
- 1:35:10Speaker 8: Your teacher and how long how many hours does the
- 1:35:14Speaker 8: school system have your kid every week? I know, for
- 1:35:17Speaker 8: every week, every year, year after year after year.
- 1:35:20Speaker 1: Yeah, more than mom and dad.
- 1:35:22Speaker 8: When they're little. And they're also getting there totally propagandized
- 1:35:27Speaker 8: about climate change too, which is another one of my topics. Tonight,
- 1:35:31Speaker 8: same thing, same thing. You start them at five and
- 1:35:35Speaker 8: have them recycling and teach them how terrible it is
- 1:35:39Speaker 8: all the things that we're doing to despoil the environment.
- 1:35:43Speaker 8: And there you go.
- 1:35:44Speaker 2: Well, I know it may have been misattributed, but widely
- 1:35:47Speaker 2: attributed to Soviet Premier Nikita Krushev. We will destroy you
- 1:35:51Speaker 2: from within, guess is exactly what happens. You just embed
- 1:35:54Speaker 2: their the indoctrination folks, i e. Teachers and you pollute
- 1:35:58Speaker 2: the children's minds that that the best way to go,
- 1:36:00Speaker 2: and this is where you end up. We were talking
- 1:36:03Speaker 2: earlier with Jack Advan about maybe these we're going through
- 1:36:07Speaker 2: maybe a reformation process here, a growing, massively growing and
- 1:36:11Speaker 2: not telling you anything you don't know toms. This idea
- 1:36:13Speaker 2: of school choice embraced widely among many and who would
- 1:36:16Speaker 2: be who would be against it? This is one of
- 1:36:18Speaker 2: the reasons many people want to go with school choice.
- 1:36:20Speaker 2: I don't want my child being indoctrinated, you.
- 1:36:23Speaker 8: Know, yeah, right right, Well we're what we're up against
- 1:36:27Speaker 8: is a very powerful union, very powerful union that the
- 1:36:30Speaker 8: Republicans are scared about. The ANA, the National Education Association
- 1:36:36Speaker 8: in Ohio it's the OEA Ohio Education Association, and and
- 1:36:43Speaker 8: all the teachers' unions in your local school district. The
- 1:36:47Speaker 8: union who runs the school districts. The teachers' unions they
- 1:36:51Speaker 8: run it. It's not the board, it's not the board,
- 1:36:55Speaker 8: it's not even the superintendent really runs it. But the
- 1:36:58Speaker 8: superintendent he doesn't. He wants an easy life. And if
- 1:37:03Speaker 8: he fights the teachers union very much at all, he's
- 1:37:07Speaker 8: gonna have a rough way to go. Well, the teachers
- 1:37:11Speaker 8: unions run the school districts.
- 1:37:12Speaker 2: But you'd think, I mean, at minimum, you think the
- 1:37:15Speaker 2: teachers union, and I think this is exactly what they stand,
- 1:37:17Speaker 2: what they want. They they're there for themselves. Like all unions,
- 1:37:20Speaker 2: it's for the workers who are part of the union,
- 1:37:22Speaker 2: but the teachers union goes beyond that. They are a
- 1:37:25Speaker 2: political organization and they embrace as a union platform. Basically
- 1:37:30Speaker 2: this political ideology which you and I find so offensive,
- 1:37:32Speaker 2: which is making our children idiots. So I know, and
- 1:37:36Speaker 2: you say, you know, there's a teachers union, there's some
- 1:37:37Speaker 2: teachers out there that my listening audience going, that's not me,
- 1:37:40Speaker 2: it's not me. Yeah, but if you're a member of
- 1:37:43Speaker 2: that union, it really is. And they're doing something that
- 1:37:46Speaker 2: you personally reject philosophically and politically, and yet there they are.
- 1:37:50Speaker 2: So I don't know how they have been given so
- 1:37:53Speaker 2: much power and where the fear comes from. I mean,
- 1:37:56Speaker 2: we've got a lot of arguments to make that the
- 1:37:57Speaker 2: teachers unions, the teachers themselves, are not educating our children.
- 1:38:01Speaker 2: Look at the class scores. Look at this. I mean,
- 1:38:02Speaker 2: the small percentages of children in eighth grade cannot perform
- 1:38:07Speaker 2: bath or read on a basic, fundamental eighth grade level.
- 1:38:10Speaker 2: That is the result of the people who are teaching
- 1:38:13Speaker 2: your children. Know that you don't want to be in
- 1:38:14Speaker 2: that environment. Then, and pile on top of that ineffective education,
- 1:38:18Speaker 2: you also have indoctrination going along with it. I guess
- 1:38:20Speaker 2: it's a lot easier to teach your children about socialism
- 1:38:23Speaker 2: than it is about how to add two and two.
- 1:38:26Speaker 8: Well, apparently they're doing a really good job. Well, hey,
- 1:38:31Speaker 8: it looks like they're accomplishing their purpose. It's a political end,
- 1:38:35Speaker 8: is what they're trying to do, and they're succeeding with that.
- 1:38:39Speaker 8: Whether the child can actually you know, use math and
- 1:38:44Speaker 8: read and everything, that's secondary. If they get that, that's fine.
- 1:38:47Speaker 8: If not, at least they're going to be good loyal
- 1:38:51Speaker 8: socialist social democrats.
- 1:38:53Speaker 2: And Tom, who would be who is more likely to
- 1:38:57Speaker 2: be dependent upon a government and who would be more
- 1:38:59Speaker 2: likely to embrace socialism recognizing that wealth will be redistributed
- 1:39:04Speaker 2: into their pockets Someone who is dumb and not capable
- 1:39:07Speaker 2: of taking care of himself. Tom, So, if you produce
- 1:39:09Speaker 2: really idiot kids don't know how to read, don't know
- 1:39:11Speaker 2: how to perform mathematical calculations, you may have created a
- 1:39:14Speaker 2: government dependent who will of course embrace socialism.
- 1:39:18Speaker 8: Yep, that looks pretty It looks like they've been pretty successful.
- 1:39:22Speaker 1: Yes they have.
- 1:39:23Speaker 2: I got to go back to your point earlier. The
- 1:39:25Speaker 2: predicate for this movement, in this push to indoctrinate our children,
- 1:39:29Speaker 2: you said, started about one hundred years ago. Can you
- 1:39:31Speaker 2: just put I know you're going to do it in
- 1:39:32Speaker 2: depth tonight at the Empower Use sevenar beginning at seven pm.
- 1:39:35Speaker 2: But can you just put a little more flesh on
- 1:39:36Speaker 2: the bones of that statement. I'm wildly curious enough.
- 1:39:39Speaker 8: Yes I can, Yes, I can hold on just a second.
- 1:39:42Speaker 1: Fine, all right.
- 1:39:44Speaker 8: So yeah, So about from the nineteen hundred to nineteen twenties,
- 1:39:51Speaker 8: the progressives really got some power, and you know, they
- 1:39:55Speaker 8: had socialist principles. They weren't necessarily progressive, but they he
- 1:40:00Speaker 8: sort of really got a lot more power in the
- 1:40:02Speaker 8: school systems. And then from the twenties to the forties,
- 1:40:06Speaker 8: the Marxists came in and actually John Dewey's called the
- 1:40:10Speaker 8: father of American modern American education, and nobody would dispute
- 1:40:16Speaker 8: that he had a bunch of American educators actually traveled
- 1:40:20Speaker 8: to Stalin's Russia in the late nineteen twenties to study
- 1:40:24Speaker 8: the Russian education system, and you know, they came back
- 1:40:28Speaker 8: and they thought this was great. Their view basically was
- 1:40:33Speaker 8: that capitalism was dead and we needed to train young
- 1:40:38Speaker 8: people for the news for a new future, which is socialism.
- 1:40:43Speaker 8: And so that was the basis for their trying to
- 1:40:46Speaker 8: redesign the American education system. It was centered to Columbia University,
- 1:40:52Speaker 8: which is sort of the go to ivy for for teachers,
- 1:40:57Speaker 8: and so they were able to train a lot of
- 1:40:59Speaker 8: teacher there, college professors there who went out too. And
- 1:41:04Speaker 8: this was not a this was not a conspiracy. It
- 1:41:08Speaker 8: was just a common belief that they all had that
- 1:41:11Speaker 8: this was something good to work for. So those college
- 1:41:15Speaker 8: teachers that train teachers, they went out to universities all
- 1:41:20Speaker 8: over the United States. And you know, it took this
- 1:41:23Speaker 8: project about forty years. It wasn't until the sixties that
- 1:41:26Speaker 8: they really embedded in the city school systems. In the
- 1:41:30Speaker 8: seventies they were able to get out into the suburban
- 1:41:33Speaker 8: school systems, and by nineteen eighties they were actually out
- 1:41:37Speaker 8: in the rural systems. The Bataviors and the Blanchesters of
- 1:41:41Speaker 8: the world. Believe it or not, you know it's subtle.
- 1:41:44Speaker 8: But if you look at the curriculums, and if you
- 1:41:47Speaker 8: roll forward to no Child Left Behind with George Bush,
- 1:41:52Speaker 8: I've made a deal with Ted Kennedy, you know that
- 1:41:55Speaker 8: couldn't have worked out well.
- 1:41:57Speaker 4: Right.
- 1:41:57Speaker 8: Then in nineteen ten, they put in, oh gosh, I'm
- 1:42:02Speaker 8: forgetting the name of it, oh common Core. Common Core
- 1:42:06Speaker 8: was started by Bill and mel and his Bill Gates
- 1:42:09Speaker 8: and his wife. This was an idea to transform the
- 1:42:13Speaker 8: curriculum in America, and it was supposedly quote unquote voluntary.
- 1:42:17Speaker 8: But if you didn't, if a state didn't go along
- 1:42:20Speaker 8: with it, you didn't get this huge pile of money.
- 1:42:23Speaker 8: So forty some states opted into Bill Gates's curriculum for
- 1:42:29Speaker 8: teaching your kid, and a lot of them were Republican states.
- 1:42:33Speaker 2: Can't do without that money, Tom, That's how they got Ohio.
- 1:42:36Speaker 2: That's how they got Ohio to change its drinking age.
- 1:42:39Speaker 2: Oh sucks to be you. You either go twenty one
- 1:42:41Speaker 2: or you're not going to get your funding that we
- 1:42:42Speaker 2: took from you taxpayers, and we'll not give back until
- 1:42:45Speaker 2: you bend to our will. That's the unevil, that is
- 1:42:48Speaker 2: the evil of federal government and their top power of taxation.
- 1:42:52Speaker 1: Yes it is Tom Hagenord.
- 1:42:53Speaker 2: He's going to be on tonight seven pm Empower You

- 1:43:55Speaker 9: cracker jacks check, foam finger check, novelty helmet filled with
- 1:44:02Speaker 9: self serf check. Our next guest is ready for our
- 1:44:05Speaker 9: opening night for the Yankees tonight and then of course
- 1:44:08Speaker 9: the Reds tomorrow. I'd go with the ice cream first,
- 1:44:12Speaker 9: the judges next, Chuck Ingram on fifty five KRS Deep Talk.
- 1:44:16Speaker 2: Station, eighty five Karsity Talk Station. Wait a minute, I
- 1:44:23Speaker 2: thought we were supposed to have the first opening dammate
- 1:44:25Speaker 2: League baseball.
- 1:44:26Speaker 1: That's tomorrow.
- 1:44:27Speaker 2: Welcome back to the morning show, Judge Napolitano, Yankees fan,
- 1:44:30Speaker 2: you are It's good to have you on today, Open
- 1:44:31Speaker 2: Today here.
- 1:44:32Speaker 10: You know this is this is really history making. Hasn't
- 1:44:35Speaker 10: Cincinnati opened the season every year since as far back
- 1:44:40Speaker 10: as I can remember.
- 1:44:41Speaker 2: I do believe that is the case. No one is
- 1:44:43Speaker 2: ever going to rely on Brian Thomas for baseball history
- 1:44:45Speaker 2: or statistics, but yes, I do believe that is the case.
- 1:44:48Speaker 2: That's why I was. I was shocked to hear him
- 1:44:49Speaker 2: say that Yankees opening day's this evening, right They.
- 1:44:54Speaker 10: Opened tonight in I don't know what they call it
- 1:44:56Speaker 10: Candlestick Park anymore, but wherever the the San Francisco Giants play,
- 1:45:02Speaker 10: so it's a National League team and it's on the
- 1:45:06Speaker 10: West Coast.
- 1:45:07Speaker 2: I am certain that there is some corporate sponsors Candlestick.
- 1:45:10Speaker 2: The name Candlestick doesn't generate revenue for a stadium, so
- 1:45:13Speaker 2: it's probably naming right here.
- 1:45:14Speaker 3: I think it's name after a bank.
- 1:45:16Speaker 1: I'm not sure that would shock no one.
- 1:45:18Speaker 2: Hey, look pay Course stadium right out there at the
- 1:45:20Speaker 2: Cincinnati anyway, Judge ennenopolatan real quick here, and we don't
- 1:45:23Speaker 2: have to spend a whole lot of time on it.
- 1:45:25Speaker 2: If I'm catching you off guard. But I know you
- 1:45:26Speaker 2: always pay attention to what's going with the Supreme Court.
- 1:45:28Speaker 2: They had oral arguments yesterday on the asylum seekers claims
- 1:45:31Speaker 2: that if you just show up at the border, then
- 1:45:34Speaker 2: you need to be offered an asylum claim, and it
- 1:45:37Speaker 2: looked like at least Judge Alito was pushing back on that.
- 1:45:42Speaker 2: He said, well, do you think someone who comes in
- 1:45:44Speaker 2: the front to the front door of a house and
- 1:45:45Speaker 2: knocks at the door has arrived in the house? Because
- 1:45:49Speaker 2: the law at issue says an illegal or an alien
- 1:45:52Speaker 2: who is physically present in the United States or who
- 1:45:54Speaker 2: arrives in the United States may apply for asylum. That
- 1:45:59Speaker 2: sounds to me straightforward. No, if you're outside of the border,
- 1:46:02Speaker 2: you're not in the United States. Your reaction, just to
- 1:46:05Speaker 2: my general sort of perception of things.
- 1:46:07Speaker 3: I think just this leader was right.
- 1:46:10Speaker 10: I mean, the job of the court is to interpret
- 1:46:13Speaker 10: the statute and take the plain meaning of the statute.
- 1:46:15Speaker 3: The Court didn't write the statute. Congress did.
- 1:46:18Speaker 10: If Congress wanted asylum applicants to make their applications at
- 1:46:23Speaker 10: the border on the non American side of the border,
- 1:46:27Speaker 10: they would have said.
- 1:46:28Speaker 4: So.
- 1:46:28Speaker 10: The problem is that for fifty years, presidential administrations of
- 1:46:34Speaker 10: both parties have allowed them to set foot in the
- 1:46:38Speaker 10: United States so they.
- 1:46:39Speaker 3: Can make the application.
- 1:46:41Speaker 10: The first presidential administration to enforce this law literally is
- 1:46:46Speaker 10: the current one, and that is apparently finding support in
- 1:46:50Speaker 10: the Supreme Court. I would where I on the Court
- 1:46:54Speaker 10: have voted consistent with the thoughts expressed by Justice Alito.
- 1:47:00Speaker 2: Enough, all right, the record's been corrected, your honor. I
- 1:47:02Speaker 2: trust David is word instant message. Reds have not opened
- 1:47:05Speaker 2: this season in many years, so apparently that has gone
- 1:47:08Speaker 2: by the way of the DODO.
- 1:47:09Speaker 10: So yeah, that I do, I do stand corrected. I
- 1:47:13Speaker 10: do think whoever that is that told us I gather
- 1:47:16Speaker 10: whoever that is is a Yankee hater.
- 1:47:18Speaker 3: And a Reds fan.
- 1:47:20Speaker 2: I don't think you can reach the former conclusion, but
- 1:47:23Speaker 2: I assure you he's a Reds fan pivoting over.
- 1:47:26Speaker 3: I don't don't the two go together.
- 1:47:29Speaker 1: Yeah, of course they do. I think we can.
- 1:47:31Speaker 2: We can assume that if we want to assume something,
- 1:47:33Speaker 2: or presume it if it sounds better.
- 1:47:36Speaker 1: War and morality. I thought this was an.
- 1:47:37Speaker 2: Interesting breakdown, and I really appreciate the thought you put
- 1:47:40Speaker 2: into your column, which my listeners can get tonight. I'm
- 1:47:42Speaker 2: lucky to get an early copy the idea you break down.
- 1:47:46Speaker 2: You start, of course with history, but you get into
- 1:47:49Speaker 2: the concept, and we're dealing with the war in Iran,
- 1:47:52Speaker 2: our waging war against iron. Morality on one side and
- 1:47:57Speaker 2: law legality on the other. Breakdown these concerts. Concept so immoral,
- 1:48:02Speaker 2: and of course you suggest it is immoral. Morality conforms
- 1:48:06Speaker 2: to a universal set of principles designed to reduce good
- 1:48:09Speaker 2: over evil and justice over in. Justin you break that down.
- 1:48:12Speaker 2: I guess my question is because you're you spring for
- 1:48:15Speaker 2: the proposition is this is immoral by all measures. But
- 1:48:19Speaker 2: if someone is subjectively viewing morality, because morality can be subjective,
- 1:48:25Speaker 2: I'm spring from a different moral cost.
- 1:48:27Speaker 3: Of course, it can be subjective.
- 1:48:29Speaker 10: The people who disagree with this column would say, you know,
- 1:48:33Speaker 10: it's better that five Iranians die now than hundreds of
- 1:48:37Speaker 10: Americans die later, and that is a moral judgment. So
- 1:48:41Speaker 10: it's basically, you know, the great philosopher he was at
- 1:48:45Speaker 10: Notre Dame one teaching undergrads and graduate students when I
- 1:48:50Speaker 10: was a law student. He's no longer with us. Alistair
- 1:48:53Speaker 10: McIntyre has a great book called Who's Morality? And that's
- 1:48:58Speaker 10: basically what but this column evokes. I argue, for a traditional,
- 1:49:07Speaker 10: even Catholic, if you will, natural law morality, that you
- 1:49:14Speaker 10: need a lot more evidence before you can kill somebody
- 1:49:16Speaker 10: who's not engaged in violence. And I argue that the
- 1:49:21Speaker 10: administration has not produced that evidence.
- 1:49:24Speaker 3: That's strike number one.
- 1:49:25Speaker 10: Strike number two is the American public has not consented
- 1:49:29Speaker 10: in any way to allow the president to start a war.
- 1:49:33Speaker 10: They have consented to the Congress to start a war,
- 1:49:37Speaker 10: and that's not what happened here. So for both of
- 1:49:39Speaker 10: those reasons, I argue the war is immoral just by
- 1:49:44Speaker 10: general standards of violating the people's absence of consent.
- 1:49:53Speaker 2: Right now, And you point out when we transgress the
- 1:49:56Speaker 2: natural rights of others, and I appreciate the concept because
- 1:49:59Speaker 2: you and I both that people have inherent natural rights.
- 1:50:03Speaker 2: Now they may have had those rights taken away from
- 1:50:06Speaker 2: them by an evil, oppressive government. That they find themselves
- 1:50:08Speaker 2: under at least our founding fathers recognize these principles and
- 1:50:11Speaker 2: enshrining them to some degree in the Bill of Rights.
- 1:50:14Speaker 2: So we buy it's the old idea that in a
- 1:50:19Speaker 2: state of nature, I can literally do whatever I want,
- 1:50:23Speaker 2: but when I have to live next to someone, I
- 1:50:25Speaker 2: can't interfere with their natural rights. That's the intrusion. That's
- 1:50:29Speaker 2: the the wayman. I can't tell you how to live
- 1:50:32Speaker 2: your life. You can't tell me how to live my life.
- 1:50:34Speaker 2: And as long as we can play together nicely or
- 1:50:36Speaker 2: not bother each other, we can live together. We are
- 1:50:38Speaker 2: intruding on what you would perceive as the natural rights
- 1:50:41Speaker 2: of the Iranians by bombing them, because they well, they
- 1:50:46Speaker 2: represent some sort of you know, maybe existential threat theoretically.
- 1:50:49Speaker 2: But that's the argument that's been put forward, right.
- 1:50:52Speaker 3: Right, right exactly. You know.
- 1:50:54Speaker 10: I I sometimes feel like I'm a broken record. But
- 1:51:00Speaker 10: I thought, instead of emphasizing the constitutional issue, I would
- 1:51:05Speaker 10: approach it from the Jeffersonian viewpoint of the consent of
- 1:51:09Speaker 10: the governed. That's why it's a very interesting phrase that
- 1:51:12Speaker 10: Jefferson used.
- 1:51:14Speaker 3: He said that the government.
- 1:51:16Speaker 10: Derives its just powers capital jay and just from the
- 1:51:22Speaker 10: consent of the governed. It has other powers that it
- 1:51:25Speaker 10: exercises that it doesn't get from the consent of the government,
- 1:51:30Speaker 10: and because they don't come from the consent.
- 1:51:32Speaker 3: Of the government, they are unjust.
- 1:51:35Speaker 10: And the governed American public has only consented to Congress
- 1:51:40Speaker 10: declaring war. So that's what I attempted to argue an
- 1:51:43Speaker 10: inn the show.
- 1:51:44Speaker 2: Well, I thought it came through very clearly. There's morality
- 1:51:46Speaker 2: on one side, and then there's legality and the Constitution,
- 1:51:49Speaker 2: I think, embrace that concept of the people must participate.
- 1:51:52Speaker 2: Congress decides whether or not we go to war. Congress
- 1:51:56Speaker 2: is a representative form of government speaking for us. So
- 1:51:59Speaker 2: the argument is that our representatives have consulted with constituents
- 1:52:02Speaker 2: and they come out in either favor of or against it,
- 1:52:04Speaker 2: because it's the will of the people, which provides some
- 1:52:07Speaker 2: legal justification. Some, many including you, are arguing that there
- 1:52:10Speaker 2: is no constitutional lawful engagement warp this particular time, aside
- 1:52:16Speaker 2: form the morality of it. And I understand that. And
- 1:52:18Speaker 2: you made another great point, he said, the ridding the
- 1:52:23Speaker 2: Iran government of nuclear weapons cannot be considered a moral
- 1:52:26Speaker 2: goal as and this is it mere possession and non
- 1:52:30Speaker 2: use of these weapons is not immoral. Isn't that the
- 1:52:33Speaker 2: found the very foundation of mutually assured destruction? Isn't this
- 1:52:37Speaker 2: why so many nations want to acquire a nuclear weapon.
- 1:52:40Speaker 2: We're not going after the Chinese Communist Party, even though
- 1:52:43Speaker 2: they represent a broader existential threat to us, because they're
- 1:52:46Speaker 2: fully armed with nuclear weapons.
- 1:52:47Speaker 10: Same thing with Russia, Same thing with the nut job
- 1:52:50Speaker 10: in North Korea. Nobody's gonna lag love on him because
- 1:52:53Speaker 10: he's got a nuclear weapon. If not suggesting that I
- 1:52:57Speaker 10: want it run weapon at all. But if Iran had
- 1:53:02Speaker 10: a weapon, do you think the United States and Israel
- 1:53:05Speaker 10: but would be waging this war?
- 1:53:06Speaker 3: Of course not.
- 1:53:08Speaker 10: The other argument is if if possession but non use
- 1:53:12Speaker 10: of the weapon is im moral and justifies an invasion,
- 1:53:16Speaker 10: well then the invaders can be invaded because Israel and
- 1:53:19Speaker 10: the US have nuclear weapons. Israel hasn't used theirs, the
- 1:53:23Speaker 10: United States has used hours.
- 1:53:26Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's what I like people to really focus on.
- 1:53:29Speaker 2: You know, it's there is nothing cut and dried in
- 1:53:31Speaker 2: this world. And I do not want the Iranians get
- 1:53:34Speaker 2: a nuclear weapon, and the argument is to keep them
- 1:53:36Speaker 2: from doing it. It's one of those they're just batcrap
- 1:53:39Speaker 2: crazy to use it offensively, They might drop a bomb
- 1:53:42Speaker 2: on anybody. They certainly hate Israel and say it out
- 1:53:45Speaker 2: loud all the time. They want to eradicate them from
- 1:53:47Speaker 2: the face of the earth, So clearly they will be
- 1:53:49Speaker 2: the initial target. But would the Iranians use it knowing
- 1:53:52Speaker 2: full well that maybe Israel's nuclear weapons will be dropped
- 1:53:55Speaker 2: on Iran?
- 1:53:58Speaker 10: That that's why this mutual will assured destruction has thus
- 1:54:02Speaker 10: far prevented everybody except Harry Truman. Of course, the Soviets
- 1:54:07Speaker 10: didn't happen time from using a nuclear weapon.
- 1:54:12Speaker 2: It predated mutually assured destruction. Are you of them correct?
- 1:54:16Speaker 2: It's great thought exercise and I'd love being knowing to
- 1:54:19Speaker 2: go through this with you year on. I feel like
- 1:54:20Speaker 2: I'm back in law school, man, I really do.
- 1:54:22Speaker 3: Oh that's the highest compliment you can pay me. Thank you, Brian.
