0:08
Speaker 1: Five o five at fifty five krc DE talk station
0:14
Speaker 1: had the Wednesday serious.
0:19
Speaker 2: Some vacation and that's the way the news goes.
0:33
Speaker 1: It is the way the news goes. Brian Thomas right here.
0:35
Speaker 1: Glad to be in a little bit more awake than yesterday. Uh,
0:38
Speaker 1: and appreciate your indulgent me yesterday kind of shaking off
0:41
Speaker 1: that four day weekend. Today, I feel a little bit
0:42
Speaker 1: more well talkative. Maybe love talking to you though, So
0:47
Speaker 1: I'll encourage you to call if you got a comment,
0:48
Speaker 1: you got something to say, maybebout the Epstein file is
0:50
Speaker 1: moving forward, I don't know. Maybe the new Banks development
0:54
Speaker 1: which city council and the county commissioners were talking about
0:57
Speaker 1: the other day. A little bit of question of cost
0:58
Speaker 1: on that one. Yeah, do you have the money? Oh,
1:01
Speaker 1: it's something wonderful we all want. It's gonna be great.
1:04
Speaker 1: It's gonna be awesome. Yeah, but can you pay for it?
1:06
Speaker 1: It's gonna be the first foremost thing. Do you have
1:08
Speaker 1: the money to pay for it? We'll get to that
1:10
Speaker 1: a little bit coming up with a fifty filf KC
1:12
Speaker 1: morning show. It is Ondesday. We get the big picture
1:15
Speaker 1: with Jack. Other than the brilliance of Jack add than
1:18
Speaker 1: every Wednesday at seven o five Today the topic social
1:20
Speaker 1: mobility and a great movie always fun with Jack weaving
1:27
Speaker 1: things together that otherwise wouldn't be woven together. That's what
1:30
Speaker 1: the brilliance of Jack Adden always is. Donovan and Neil
1:33
Speaker 1: Everyondesday at seven thirty Today, no different. Today we're going
1:35
Speaker 1: to talk about Greg Landsman and House Bill five h three,
1:40
Speaker 1: which is a good thing because, according to Donovan and
1:43
Speaker 1: everybody else, we're getting hit with double taxation while you're
1:46
Speaker 1: paying municipal income tax where you work. Many cities are
1:50
Speaker 1: cutting reciprocity credits, so you're also paying income tax where
1:54
Speaker 1: you live. A double dip used to be able to reduce,
1:58
Speaker 1: like if you're getting tax within the city, you can
2:00
Speaker 1: reduce your local taxes by the amount that you're already
2:04
Speaker 1: being taxed for where you work. Apparently that's going by
2:06
Speaker 1: the wayside and a lot of municipalities, so Houspital five
2:09
Speaker 1: O three says basically boil down. If a city wants
2:13
Speaker 1: to double tax you, they have to ask you first.
2:15
Speaker 1: In other words, you get to vote on it, just
2:18
Speaker 1: like any other tax increase. No surprises, no paycheck shock, look,
2:22
Speaker 1: cast a vote, some Ofhowan's paying more than four percent
2:25
Speaker 1: local income tax, which is higher than the state income
2:28
Speaker 1: tax rate. City shouldn't be able to take a city
2:31
Speaker 1: shouldn't be able to change your tax bill without your approval.
2:33
Speaker 1: Every other major local tax decision requires a vote. This
2:36
Speaker 1: five O three says, well, this is applies to this too,
2:40
Speaker 1: so sounds logical. Reasonable addresses the clearest unfairness in the system,
2:46
Speaker 1: that would be double taxation, cord to the statement from Donovan.
2:50
Speaker 1: More More, municipalities are reducing your eliminating the reciprocity credits,
2:54
Speaker 1: meaning you the Ohio and are forced to pay taxes
2:56
Speaker 1: both where you live and where you work. So, as
2:58
Speaker 1: the bill sponsors point out, someone living in a no
3:01
Speaker 1: credit community Marysville was cited as an example, working in
3:04
Speaker 1: Columbus can end up paying a combined four percent, far
3:07
Speaker 1: higher than the income tax. So there's the point of
3:09
Speaker 1: five oh three should be well, I guess since we're
3:14
Speaker 1: in Ohio, this should be a no brainer. You would
3:22
Speaker 1: think that given the I would argue, this is a
3:26
Speaker 1: conservative leaning thing, lower taxation, ensuring that you are not
3:30
Speaker 1: double taxed. Now, Democrats love taxes, so I would assume
3:34
Speaker 1: that this would be embraced by Republicans. Republicans dominate Columbus,
3:38
Speaker 1: of course, the House, the Senate, the Governor's office. This
3:45
Speaker 1: is going to sail right through, isn't it. Joe can't
3:48
Speaker 1: wait for Donald O'Neill's comment about that. We'll see what happens. No, thanks, Dad,
3:52
Speaker 1: love you. Man. Mission Congressman Thomas Massey the greatest hour
3:56
Speaker 1: o power in radio as far as I'm concerned. Anyway,
3:58
Speaker 1: Congressman Thomas Massey fall by Judge General Paultona. When the
4:01
Speaker 1: eight o'clock are we're going to talk about the Epstein
4:03
Speaker 1: files of the Congressman Massy. What's next? I guess you
4:08
Speaker 1: know the revelations of what has been released so far,
4:11
Speaker 1: And isn't it comical they move forward to this? I mean,
4:16
Speaker 1: I said, a discharge petition that went through and sailed through.
4:19
Speaker 1: This it's going to be signed in the law. The
4:21
Speaker 1: Epstein files, and there are limitations on what the Department
4:23
Speaker 1: of Justice has to release because there may be pedophilia
4:26
Speaker 1: material in their child porn whatever, and the details are
4:30
Speaker 1: we can talk about. But we get a little bit here,
4:34
Speaker 1: we get a little bit there. We get the Justice
4:37
Speaker 1: Department saying, man, we looked at it and there's no
4:39
Speaker 1: evidence of criminal activity. We get told that the Epstein
4:44
Speaker 1: black Book is going to be released. It's on my desk,
4:46
Speaker 1: and we find out, well, there is no Epstein black book.
4:50
Speaker 1: Thomas Massey wants the documents released. Actually Trump did too,
4:52
Speaker 1: Remember he wanted them released when he was campaigning, and
4:54
Speaker 1: then he said no, we don't want them released, and
4:56
Speaker 1: Thomas Massey says, no, let's get them released. The Democrats
4:58
Speaker 1: all join together in spite after four four years of
5:00
Speaker 1: the Biden administration and then having control of the situation,
5:02
Speaker 1: they didn't release them because the big cause of the
5:06
Speaker 1: Democrats that want to release the Epstein documents, Thomas Massey's
5:10
Speaker 1: a trader, says Donald Trump. Well, guess what. Overwhelmingly only
5:14
Speaker 1: one person voted not to release them the other day,
5:16
Speaker 1: and of course the Senate moved forward with the unanimous consent.
5:20
Speaker 1: It's a foregone conclusion. But amid this going back and
5:23
Speaker 1: forth and before the vote, you had twenty thousand additional
5:26
Speaker 1: documents released by Republicans. Wait a minute, they've been sitting
5:30
Speaker 1: on all this stuff all this time. We could have
5:32
Speaker 1: had it. The Republicans could have released the information it
5:35
Speaker 1: was apparently produced by the Epstein estate or something like that.
5:41
Speaker 1: I just find it all confusing. But the most confusing
5:45
Speaker 1: element to me of late has been the additional twenty
5:47
Speaker 1: thousand documents that magically popped up during the debate on this. Well,
5:51
Speaker 1: couldn't we have had those a year ago or whatever? Jananigans?
5:58
Speaker 1: So we get Congressman Massy talking about the Epste files,
6:01
Speaker 1: Judge and an Apolitano on what the founders feared. Of course,
6:04
Speaker 1: I think when this one's mostly the idea of unilateral warfare,
6:09
Speaker 1: which bothers me. He also has a problem with disrupting
6:16
Speaker 1: free speech, arresting Americans and those suspicious here of unlawful
6:21
Speaker 1: presence in the United States, suggesting those warrantless arrests without
6:28
Speaker 1: probable cause are wrong. And now we have the collecting
6:32
Speaker 1: of biometric data on people that they encounter as well.
6:36
Speaker 1: So lots of problems to congressmen or rather a judgement
6:39
Speaker 1: Polatan has taught. Napolitan has on a constitutional level with
6:43
Speaker 1: things that the Trump administration is doing, but also a
6:46
Speaker 1: nod to the fact that other administrations have done it
6:48
Speaker 1: as well. The Constitution that pesky impediment to doing things
6:53
Speaker 1: expeditiously and fiveally Oh, this is going to be great
6:56
Speaker 1: rescheduled previously. Je and Fleet, author of Maol's America, A
7:03
Speaker 1: Survivor's Warning, She's going to join the program at the
7:05
Speaker 1: end of the join the show at the end of
7:07
Speaker 1: the program about eight forty five. Her book, she recounts
7:10
Speaker 1: living through Mao's Cultural Revolution and getting the hell out
7:14
Speaker 1: to move to America and now seeing this Marxist ideology
7:18
Speaker 1: well being embraced by most notably young people here, but
7:20
Speaker 1: even some more senior members that you think will be
7:24
Speaker 1: saner than to embrace Marxist policy. She sees parallels between
7:29
Speaker 1: the Marxist ideology being pushed by the progressive on the
7:33
Speaker 1: left as well as the China compared to the China's
7:35
Speaker 1: Cultural Revolution Marxist tactics of division. Oh, there's something I've
7:40
Speaker 1: brought up multiple times. Indoctrination, deception, coercion, cancelation, subversion, violence,
7:49
Speaker 1: the aim to destroy the foundation of the traditional culture
7:51
Speaker 1: replacing with marxiscieteologies. Yes, that's in fact happening our K
7:54
Speaker 1: through twelve education system, because they don't teach civics anymore
7:58
Speaker 1: unless you live in a state high which mandates the
8:01
Speaker 1: teaching of civics, which would involve the founding fathers, the
8:04
Speaker 1: reason we declared independence from Britain, et cetera, et cetera,
8:07
Speaker 1: et cetera. Freedom and talking about freedom contextually and comparing
8:11
Speaker 1: it to the awful lack of freedom that exists in
8:15
Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist Party run China. Well, if our youth
8:19
Speaker 1: only heads an eye full of what is what life
8:22
Speaker 1: is like there versus what life is like here, that's
8:25
Speaker 1: what she's talking about. Empower You Seminar Tonight Special one
8:33
Speaker 1: seven pm. Log in, learn something empower you America dot org.
8:38
Speaker 1: Should we join in the program and again at the
8:39
Speaker 1: tail end, to talk about a little bit of insight
8:42
Speaker 1: into the seminar going on tonight, Looking forward to that tomorrow,
8:46
Speaker 1: Warren Davidson, and hopefully the prayers have worked. I think
8:50
Speaker 1: Jay Rattlet's going to be back tomorrow, which would be great.
8:56
Speaker 1: We have a funny aviation article real quick here. I
9:00
Speaker 1: can go ahead and get it in simply because I
9:02
Speaker 1: remember talking to Jay about this one a little insight.
9:04
Speaker 1: Maybe he'll bring it up as well. Remember the Alaskan
9:07
Speaker 1: airline pilot who tried to cut the engines off on
9:11
Speaker 1: a passenger jet midflight while writing off duty in the cockpit. Well,
9:17
Speaker 1: a US judge ruled earlier this week on Monday, Well,
9:19
Speaker 1: that person is not going to serve an additional prison
9:22
Speaker 1: time in spite of the fact he could have killed
9:23
Speaker 1: more than eighty people on the airplane. Joseph David Emerson,
9:27
Speaker 1: forty six years old, sentenced by the judge, a US
9:30
Speaker 1: District Judge Amy Boggio out in Portland to time served
9:34
Speaker 1: and three years of supervisor release. Now. The prosecutors wanted
9:37
Speaker 1: a one year prison turn. His attorneys, however, argued for probation.
9:43
Speaker 1: That was back in October of twenty twenty three. I
9:45
Speaker 1: can't believe it's been that long. Horizon Air flight twenty
9:47
Speaker 1: fifty nine, on its way from Everett, Washington to San Francisco, Emerson,
9:55
Speaker 1: sitting in the cockpit jump seat, reached up, grabbed two
9:59
Speaker 1: fires suppression handles and began pulling them down, which would
10:02
Speaker 1: have cut fuel to the plane's engine. Thank you Online
10:05
Speaker 1: duty pilot successfully restrained him. According to the court documents,
10:09
Speaker 1: he told police he hadn't slept for forty eight hours,
10:11
Speaker 1: took psychedelic mushrooms a couple of days prior to that,
10:14
Speaker 1: and believed he was dreaming and trying to wake himself up.
10:17
Speaker 1: Also said he was grieving a friend's death and experiencing
10:20
Speaker 1: a mental health crisis. Okay, he did plead guilty to
10:25
Speaker 1: interfering with the flight crew and no contest to a
10:28
Speaker 1: state charge of endangering an aircraft and eighty three counts
10:31
Speaker 1: of reckless endangerment. In other words, the eighty three people
10:34
Speaker 1: that were on the airline. His lawyer and head of
10:39
Speaker 1: the sentencing mister Emerson's forty six days in jail was impactful, cathartic,
10:44
Speaker 1: and punishing. He will never be able to expunge this conviction.
10:51
Speaker 1: I honestly, I don't think that's quite enough understand a
10:55
Speaker 1: psychological breakdown, but I mean that plane could have fallen
11:01
Speaker 1: out of the air easily with the engines being cut off. Anyway,
11:06
Speaker 1: Maybe Ja'll be back tomorrow and pray for him. Please.
11:08
Speaker 1: Bell's palsy diagnosis several weeks ago. He has not been
11:11
Speaker 1: able to speak very well, but he has been working
11:13
Speaker 1: on it. Therapy apparently has worked well enough to at
11:15
Speaker 1: least give him optimism. That will be on the Morning
11:17
Speaker 1: show tomorrow at eight thirty, and I hope he can

12:13
Speaker 1: little advance of the bottom of the UR news. Tom,
12:15
Speaker 1: if you're out there, feel free to call when you do.
12:16
Speaker 1: Five one three seven fifty five hundred two three talk
12:19
Speaker 1: the concept for the future Banks presented to the Hamilton
12:23
Speaker 1: County Border of Commissioners as well as Cincinni City Council yesterday.
12:26
Speaker 1: There's this bank's public partnership guid named Phil Beck from
12:31
Speaker 1: that one the design firm Perkins Will Andrew Broadrick was
12:35
Speaker 1: the person designated from that firm, and then Mary or
12:38
Speaker 1: Mark Kobzak Kubzik close enough, it doesn't mean anything to
12:42
Speaker 1: you HR and A advisors anyway. These are the three
12:45
Speaker 1: that presented the concept for this Are you ready for it?
12:48
Speaker 1: Eight hundred million dollars what they described as an investment
12:53
Speaker 1: to the bank's district, creating Thank you Joe, creating residential space,
12:58
Speaker 1: retail space, parking, office space, and a hotel all in
13:03
Speaker 1: the five remaining empty parcels in the general area HMM.
13:10
Speaker 1: Designed to, in their words, reinvigorate the banks. Grips of
13:14
Speaker 1: the proposal aims to highlight the riverfront as a mixed
13:17
Speaker 1: used entertainment district catering to residents and tourists. Are you
13:21
Speaker 1: ready a one hundred to one hundred and fifty room hotel?
13:25
Speaker 1: Hey Joe, aren't they building a brand new hotel there
13:27
Speaker 1: at the convention center site? Yeah? They are, aren't they?
13:31
Speaker 1: How far away would this new hotel be from the
13:33
Speaker 1: currently being built monstrosity there at the commitment like pretty
13:37
Speaker 1: darn close. I think that's a fairly accurate assessment of
13:39
Speaker 1: the distance there, Joe. And also, yeah, it'll be affordable.
13:45
Speaker 1: What do you think it's going to include up to
13:50
Speaker 1: I'm reading Matt Schaefer's reporting from Fox nineteen. Apparently was
13:53
Speaker 1: there twelve thousand multi family units? You're questioning the affordability
14:02
Speaker 1: of that, Joe. Hamic Candon Board of Commissioners raised some
14:07
Speaker 1: concerns during the presentation the Urban Design Review Committee. We
14:10
Speaker 1: have one of those brought up budgetary constraints. The project
14:16
Speaker 1: has a fifteen year timeline. Denis Streethouse, commission President. The
14:22
Speaker 1: reason it's striking is because it's so different to what's
14:25
Speaker 1: been developed, what has been developed at this point. I
14:27
Speaker 1: guess they threw them a curveball changing the development and
14:29
Speaker 1: how it looks. Point of contention among the commission includes
14:33
Speaker 1: the cost to the taxpayers, at least they're thinking about
14:38
Speaker 1: you also taking into consideration, logically, the county's budget as
14:46
Speaker 1: well as those folks that were paying taxes for this.
14:49
Speaker 1: Remember this is the county budget we're talking about, being
14:52
Speaker 1: asked to pay the fund and shoulder part of the
14:54
Speaker 1: burden of this. So my friends in Anderson Township, let's
14:57
Speaker 1: just pick a township that came up. You were then
15:00
Speaker 1: Hamilton County. You're going to be paying for this. So
15:02
Speaker 1: how does the people outside of the city benefit from this?
15:06
Speaker 1: Some are also questioning the height of the brand new
15:08
Speaker 1: two twenty fourth story buildings that are being proposed right there.
15:13
Speaker 1: Commissioner Alishers quote, I represent two hundred and eighteen thousand people,
15:19
Speaker 1: not all living in downtown. So here's Anderson Township. So
15:22
Speaker 1: Anderton Township wants to know how will this help them
15:26
Speaker 1: because their money goes into it. Corean Township wants to
15:30
Speaker 1: know how this will help them because their money's going
15:32
Speaker 1: into it. Thank you, Aliserice props. She said. The county's
15:39
Speaker 1: budget has already been stretched thin, especially following preprepared to laugh,
15:45
Speaker 1: somebody wrote loll after this one. Oh that's right, that
15:47
Speaker 1: was me. County budget being stretched in, especially after the
15:53
Speaker 1: lengthy contract negotiations with the Cincinnati Bengals, Noting the county
15:59
Speaker 1: recently entered into the new eleven year lease agreement with
16:01
Speaker 1: the Bengals that it's expected to end the same year
16:04
Speaker 1: as the county's lease agreement with the Reds, which will
16:07
Speaker 1: require new negotiations, and you know that's going to require
16:11
Speaker 1: new financial obligations. So she's at least being forward thinking
16:15
Speaker 1: recognizing that no. Eleven years isn't that far down the
16:18
Speaker 1: road if we're going to embrace something that's going to
16:20
Speaker 1: cost you the taxpayer eight hundred million dollars. This says
16:27
Speaker 1: each each commissioner express concerns about funding. Despite the concerns,
16:31
Speaker 1: this is what an East tree House had to say
16:33
Speaker 1: it by way of statement, The Urban Design Review Committee
16:35
Speaker 1: has given us a strong foundation to finally complete the banks.
16:38
Speaker 1: I'm especially excited to see the recommendations that emphasize residential
16:42
Speaker 1: mixed use space in a vibrant community where our small
16:45
Speaker 1: businesses can truly thrive. This is our front door to
16:48
Speaker 1: the city at at Hamilton County and finishing these final lots,
16:51
Speaker 1: it's essential to making it as welcoming and dynamic as
16:54
Speaker 1: it deserves to be. Well lofty goals, and who can
16:57
Speaker 1: argue with her? This is the front door and it's
16:59
Speaker 1: going to be awesome and great. Do we have any
17:01
Speaker 1: money to buy it and pay for it? Seemed to
17:05
Speaker 1: be a pressing issue for him when they're talking about it,
17:07
Speaker 1: but oh, it looks so pretty. Council members that their
17:13
Speaker 1: presentation emphasized the importance of housing, parking vice Jeremika Owens
17:25
Speaker 1: quote for me, the bigger, the better. For sixty years,
17:30
Speaker 1: our city was dying and losing population. That was Evan
17:33
Speaker 1: Nolan's statement. When you look at our urban core and
17:35
Speaker 1: what we've done in the past fifteen to twenty years,
17:37
Speaker 1: it's a great transformation and stabilization. I think now it's
17:41
Speaker 1: time to shift to a growth mindset. You think that
17:48
Speaker 1: means get rid of more poor people, Joe, Is that
17:50
Speaker 1: what you said? You mean kind of like they did
17:53
Speaker 1: when they gentrified over the wrong Yeah, you God, I'm
17:56
Speaker 1: getting a nod from you on that. So that worked,
17:59
Speaker 1: I suppose in luring urban hipsters. And while they're still
18:03
Speaker 1: working on North of Liberty, they have another urban hipster
18:07
Speaker 1: destination there on the Ohio River with his brand new development.
18:10
Speaker 1: How much do you think the apartments are going to cost?
18:14
Speaker 1: Fifteen hundred dollars that's the price of the ones that
18:17
Speaker 1: they're putting there at Central Parkway and Walnut. You're lucky
18:22
Speaker 1: if you can get one for fifteen hundred dollars. That's
18:24
Speaker 1: a brand new development for housing as well. Hmmm, affordable housing.
18:31
Speaker 1: Affordable housing five twenty seven right now fifty five k

Speaker 4: of the money for Cincinnati went. I think if you
18:53
Speaker 4: watch the Bengals game, I think it's number seven. Last
18:56
Speaker 4: name Burrows. Two hundred and seventy five million dollars contract
19:00
Speaker 4: a number nine, and so here's how foot here's I
19:02
Speaker 4: was the number nine. You can tell how much football
19:05
Speaker 4: I can.
19:05
Speaker 1: So that's okay, you know how much football I w was?
19:07
Speaker 1: Joe's wont to pass along the info of me. I'm
19:09
Speaker 1: capable of watching a game without memorizing players' names or
19:12
Speaker 1: giving a crap about him.
19:14
Speaker 5: Yeah.
19:15
Speaker 4: Well, whatever you pay for a stadium for a private
19:18
Speaker 4: business called the Bengals, that means that frees up payroll,
19:21
Speaker 4: and that means they can put a two hundred and
19:23
Speaker 4: seventy five million dollars record breaking NFL contract and that's
19:27
Speaker 4: where the money goes. And so I think he's on
19:30
Speaker 4: the bench with an injured toe. So that's point number one,
19:34
Speaker 4: back to football tax. Point number two, Yeah, point number two.
19:40
Speaker 4: I want to thank an in point out to the
19:42
Speaker 4: listeners out when we say don't vote Rhinos, which I
19:46
Speaker 4: think was your contribution to Tom's don't vote Democrat.
19:48
Speaker 6: Well done.
19:50
Speaker 4: Mike de Wine has done more damage to the state
19:53
Speaker 4: of Ohio than any Democrat ever could. He's the reason
19:56
Speaker 4: we had eighteen years of shared Brown after the line
19:59
Speaker 4: la his Senate seat Tom and then for some unknown
20:03
Speaker 4: reason other than he's a Rhino, he brought in doctor
20:06
Speaker 4: Amy Acton, who was a known Obama like community organizer,
20:10
Speaker 4: worked on behalf of the Obama administration. The Wine brought
20:14
Speaker 4: her in to his administration, launched her political career, and
20:19
Speaker 4: now eleven days ago. I don't know that I believe
20:21
Speaker 4: the polls, but it's saying that she's edging out of
20:25
Speaker 4: the Viake Ramaswami for the governor's race right now in Ohio.
20:29
Speaker 4: I think it's a long shot, but the fact that
20:31
Speaker 4: it's even close, we have Mike DeWine to.
20:34
Speaker 1: Think so, well, then you know, Mike Dwine and v
20:37
Speaker 1: Vike Ramaswami are two completely different people, and we are
20:41
Speaker 1: a mile I know it. It's fast approaching, but nonetheless
20:44
Speaker 1: we're miles away from next November. And so any poll
20:46
Speaker 1: that's being taken right now which suggests Amy Acton is
20:49
Speaker 1: even a viable candidate, I think I'm going to throw
20:52
Speaker 1: a little bit of a red flag on that.
20:54
Speaker 4: Oh I don't disagree. But at the same time, she
20:58
Speaker 4: had no political career. There hadn't been Mike de Wine.
21:01
Speaker 4: For what reason would he bring her in and in
21:04
Speaker 4: a Republican administration, in a in a in a red
21:07
Speaker 4: state and and put her in charge of COVID other
21:10
Speaker 4: than he's a Democrat in Republican clothing. Absolutely, So, in conclusion,
21:18
Speaker 4: because Tom's up next, don't vote Democrat, don't vote Rhino.
21:22
Speaker 1: Off to Tom. Have a good day, Thunder, Tom, Welcome
21:27
Speaker 1: to the Morning Show.
21:29
Speaker 6: You can really, you.
21:31
Speaker 7: Really can't steal that thunder that. It's like, it needs
21:34
Speaker 7: to be said often as many times as possible as
21:39
Speaker 7: many callers in a row need to say that, so
21:42
Speaker 7: that gets through people's heads that all we are doing
21:45
Speaker 7: is causing ourselves more and more problems. By continuing to
21:49
Speaker 7: elect and re elect these uh, these rhinos and these Democrats.
21:54
Speaker 7: So the banks thing that you're talking about is just
21:57
Speaker 7: another example of them taking your money. You made a
22:03
Speaker 7: statement some people don't care where the money comes from. Well,
22:08
Speaker 7: I got news for everybody in case you don't know this.
22:11
Speaker 7: If you're dealing with the government, the money comes from you.
22:15
Speaker 7: It's coming from your taxes, whatever taxes they come up with,
22:19
Speaker 7: so that the county operates a lot on sales taxes.
22:22
Speaker 7: If I'm not mistaken, correct, yeah, yeah, yeah, So got
22:27
Speaker 7: sales tax, you got property tax, you got gas tax,
22:30
Speaker 7: you got cigarette tax, you got taxes on all kinds
22:33
Speaker 7: of things. This is how they get your money. And
22:36
Speaker 7: then they take your money and then they decide to
22:38
Speaker 7: spend it how they feel like spending it. Now, I'm
22:41
Speaker 7: my first question is are is the county going to
22:45
Speaker 7: own this hotel? Is the county going to make the
22:49
Speaker 7: profits off of this hotel? I mean, we shouldn't even
22:52
Speaker 7: be in the business of building a hotel to begin with,
22:54
Speaker 7: But if the county owns it, you know, I think
22:58
Speaker 7: counties own parking lot Maybe I don't know, I think
23:01
Speaker 7: the city does. I mean, if the county is going
23:04
Speaker 7: to invest the county's money into something. Shouldn't the county
23:08
Speaker 7: be making the profits? I mean, unlike what they're doing
23:11
Speaker 7: with the Bengals and the Reds. They're letting the Bengals
23:14
Speaker 7: and the Reds make the profits. I don't know what
23:16
Speaker 7: they're getting out of out of the Bengals and Reds
23:20
Speaker 7: deals except we got people coming downtown and we could
23:22
Speaker 7: charge the sales tax. That's not nearly enough. It doesn't
23:27
Speaker 7: make any sense logically, and it certainly doesn't make any
23:30
Speaker 7: sense economically to keep throwing our money at billion dollar
23:35
Speaker 7: companies and these massively wealthy sports teams. Even though we
23:41
Speaker 7: are considered a quote unquote small market. They're still making
23:46
Speaker 7: millions and millions of dollars every year. And yet we
23:49
Speaker 7: feel like, oh, we have to fund we have to
23:51
Speaker 7: help them out. Are you kidding me? You don't have
23:53
Speaker 7: to help them out. You have to help your citizens out.
23:56
Speaker 7: The people that walk the streets and drive on this
23:59
Speaker 7: you know, walk this star walks and drive on the streets.
24:01
Speaker 7: These are the people that you need to help. And
24:05
Speaker 7: this is a fast actwords way of thinking that these
24:08
Speaker 7: that these democrats and and and really any politicians get
24:11
Speaker 7: in there. Here's this big pile of money we have
24:13
Speaker 7: access to. Who can we make happy? We Who can
24:17
Speaker 7: we get to come here and have.
24:18
Speaker 5: Their business here?
24:20
Speaker 7: It's insanity, So we gotta I don't know, we got
24:23
Speaker 7: to do something about this. The only thing I can
24:25
Speaker 7: think of but keep thinking of. Don't vote Rhino and
24:28
Speaker 7: don't vote Democrats. Thanks Jay, and every caller needs to
24:32
Speaker 7: follow up with that.
24:33
Speaker 1: Have a great day, Brian, take care of Tom Tom's
24:36
Speaker 1: lasting legacy. De talk station. A real quick as to
24:39
Speaker 1: that eight hundred million dollar proposal for the banks, Brud,
24:42
Speaker 1: Does that mean we're not going to get a new
24:44
Speaker 1: streetcar leg Joe, and we've got to pick between one
24:47
Speaker 1: of the others since we don't have enough money for
24:49
Speaker 1: either project. Means we'll probably get both of them anyway.
24:53
Speaker 1: Where the stack is stupid Off of that, idiots doing
24:56
Speaker 1: idiot things because they're idiots. I'm not quite sure if
24:59
Speaker 1: this will happen on a leg to the street car
25:01
Speaker 1: if they build one, maybe it'll happen on Leg one.
25:02
Speaker 1: But police say they apprehended a person of interest yesterday
25:05
Speaker 1: after a man allegedly doused a woman with apparently flammable
25:10
Speaker 1: liquid and set her on fire on a Chicago transit train.
25:14
Speaker 3: Why are you doing that?
25:15
Speaker 1: I don't think we'll ever find out. Twenty six year
25:17
Speaker 1: old woman riding the train near Clark in Lake about
25:19
Speaker 1: nine thirty pm ended up verbal dispute with a guy,
25:22
Speaker 1: apparently forty five year old man described as anyway. Dispute
25:27
Speaker 1: escalated when the man doused her with liquid and lit
25:30
Speaker 1: her on fire. The attacker fled. When the train stopped
25:33
Speaker 1: at Clark Street, a burning woman stumbled out of the
25:37
Speaker 1: car and fell to the ground. Chicago Fire Department paramedics
25:39
Speaker 1: took her to an area hospital. She had severe burns
25:42
Speaker 1: all over her body. When rittan As said, I just
25:44
Speaker 1: saw a lady that was lying on the ground and
25:46
Speaker 1: they were trying to give her CPR, and she looked
25:48
Speaker 1: like she was in an awful lot of pain. She
25:52
Speaker 1: was taking away in an ambulance. Suspect described as wearing
25:56
Speaker 1: an ankle monitor for an aggravated battery case in which
25:59
Speaker 1: a judge refused to keep him in jail. Hair they
26:01
Speaker 1: are those ankle monitors. We found about how effective those are,
26:04
Speaker 1: didn't we? With Sarah Herringer, Now, who can argue with that?
26:10
Speaker 1: Arson detectives were looking into the matter, but they did
26:13
Speaker 1: arrest a person of interest. The fire, happily was already
26:16
Speaker 1: extinguished when the cops showed up to the scene. Did
26:22
Speaker 1: you ever contemplate that when youre getting on public transportation?
26:26
Speaker 1: I mean I reade public transportation every single day when
26:29
Speaker 1: I lived in Chicago eight years worth. Now it basically
26:32
Speaker 1: was the big metro trains, but I did ride the
26:34
Speaker 1: L a lot. Used to live in Logan Square, which
26:37
Speaker 1: is the L wine that goes from downtown to the
26:38
Speaker 1: Loop area out to O'Hare Airport. And you know what,
26:43
Speaker 1: I was, in fact Acosta on the L. It was crazy,
26:48
Speaker 1: but it was already after we had decided we were
26:49
Speaker 1: moving back. This woman, who was a baggage handler for
26:52
Speaker 1: United Airlines, was a little bit of a B word,
26:55
Speaker 1: if I might be so bold as to say so,
26:58
Speaker 1: following a bit of a dispute over as she got
27:00
Speaker 1: off the train I was moving on to go to
27:02
Speaker 1: my destination, didn't get off the train. She clobbered me
27:06
Speaker 1: on top of the head with her purse before she
27:09
Speaker 1: got off the train. Sort of. I sat there and
27:11
Speaker 1: I didn't disbelief, but I thought to myself, Paulette and
27:15
Speaker 1: I have made the right decision and pulling the plug
27:19
Speaker 1: on living in Chicago. I'm station. It's five fifty to
27:25
Speaker 1: fifty five K City Talk station. Happy Wednesday. I returned
27:28
Speaker 1: to the stack of stupid. We'll took a bump call
27:31
Speaker 1: and get one, but you need to go to Indiana
27:35
Speaker 1: for the stack of stupid. Evansville specifically. Man. They're arrested
27:38
Speaker 1: after claiming he was having what he called a spiritual
27:41
Speaker 1: awakening after misusing the nine to one to one service.
27:46
Speaker 1: Luther Hanaway placed under arrest rest after law enforcement responded
27:50
Speaker 1: to the South Green River Road in Evansville for a
27:52
Speaker 1: medical emergency. Dispatcher said told police Hanaway had called and
27:56
Speaker 1: requested an ambulance because he had possibly ingested too much caffeine. Please,
28:05
Speaker 1: I know, Please guide to the scene. Officers noticed EMS
28:07
Speaker 1: had responded to Thornton Gas station. Accord to the report,
28:11
Speaker 1: EMS employee told police, Hannaway called nine to one one
28:14
Speaker 1: for assistance just before she had walked by him. When
28:18
Speaker 1: he was standing near the door place, said Hanaway asked
28:21
Speaker 1: if her if she could assist him with the Galactic
28:25
Speaker 1: Federation as she walked by him. He was eventually taken
28:34
Speaker 1: into custody with police later determining that he had contacted
28:37
Speaker 1: emergency services eleven times since November two. Report for the
28:42
Speaker 1: states that he was charged with unlawful use of nine
28:44
Speaker 1: to one one services and taken to the Vanderbilt County Jail. M. Drudge, Yeah,
28:52
Speaker 1: I'm thinking something more than caffeine was involved in that one.
28:57
Speaker 1: Back in Evansville, Indiana. Man in Indiana he cused of
29:00
Speaker 1: trying to flee the scene of a crash while a
29:02
Speaker 1: person was on the hood of the car. Thirty eight
29:05
Speaker 1: year old Patrick Ryan reported had been swerving in and
29:08
Speaker 1: out of traffic while hitting curbs before rear ending another
29:12
Speaker 1: vehicle Joseph. This was said both the other driver and
29:23
Speaker 1: Ryan got out of the vehicles to look at the damage.
29:25
Speaker 1: The other driver says Ryan got back into his car
29:28
Speaker 1: showing signs of impairment, and this is one of those
29:32
Speaker 1: opportunities where I wish the listening audience was able to
29:34
Speaker 1: see this guy's mugshot in effort to keep him from
29:38
Speaker 1: driving away. The other driver told police that he stepped
29:40
Speaker 1: in front of Ryan's vehicle and was bumped but not injured.
29:45
Speaker 1: They say Ryan then tried to flee the scene, but
29:48
Speaker 1: the other driver got back in front of his vehicle
29:51
Speaker 1: and then tried to jump on the hood of Ryan's
29:53
Speaker 1: vehicle to avoid being hit again. Well, it's what happens
29:56
Speaker 1: when you stand in front of carry said Ryan's out
30:00
Speaker 1: the vehicle a short distance away. The other driver was
30:02
Speaker 1: able to safely get off the hood. Multiple witnesses of
30:04
Speaker 1: the crash and officers all smelling alcohol on Ryan's breath
30:10
Speaker 1: as this tradition. Arrested for criminal recklessness with a deadly
30:14
Speaker 1: weapon the car battery, driving while intoxic kid and leaving
30:17
Speaker 1: the scene of a crash medically cleared before being booked
30:20
Speaker 1: without bond, obviously not in front of Judge Silverstein in
30:24
Speaker 1: Hamilton County. Oh great, I know you've been waiting for
30:33
Speaker 1: this development. I can't believe I'm reading this. Breast milk
30:41
Speaker 1: produced by men who transitioned to women apparently as good
30:47
Speaker 1: for babies as milk from genetic females. This, according to
30:50
Speaker 1: British health officials University of Sussex Hospitals NHS TRUST contend
30:57
Speaker 1: milk produced by transgender women after taking a combination of
31:01
Speaker 1: drugs and hormones quote comparable to that produced by a
31:06
Speaker 1: mother following the birth of a baby. I had no idea,
31:09
Speaker 1: what's fauna, dude? Many Apparently a formal complaint has been
31:16
Speaker 1: filed against the Progressive Hospital Group for reaching this conclusion.
31:21
Speaker 1: This report was leaked. Staff further clarified that the term
31:26
Speaker 1: human milk is meant to be neutral and is not
31:28
Speaker 1: gender biased. Hospital claims it's the first to use gender
31:33
Speaker 1: inclusive term. Chest feeding said transgender women can develop lactation
31:39
Speaker 1: partly by taking the hormone progested, which helps biological men
31:44
Speaker 1: produce milk with their typically dormant milk producing glands. No
31:49
Speaker 1: thank you, dad, they say. Drugs such as dome paradon,
31:54
Speaker 1: which is often given a biological woman struggling to breastfeed,
31:57
Speaker 1: then helps stimulate the production of prolac, then a separate
32:00
Speaker 1: hormone that tells the body to produce milk. This drug
32:06
Speaker 1: not intended for this use, according to the reporting practice, though,
32:10
Speaker 1: they claim the hospital system that released this stupid report
32:13
Speaker 1: claims it's safe, even though the medication could be transferred
32:16
Speaker 1: to the baby through breastfeeding and has the potential to
32:19
Speaker 1: affect the baby's heart. I'm sorry. All the while I'm
32:24
Speaker 1: reading this, I'm thinking of some goofy, crazy, immoral, unethical
32:29
Speaker 1: experiment by Joseph Mengela.
32:33
Speaker 3: God bless America.
32:35
Speaker 1: UK in this particular case. That's all I'm reading out
32:38
Speaker 1: of that five fifty six talks station. It's a Wednesday
32:41
Speaker 1: and a very happy one to you when I are
32:42
Speaker 1: from now The Big Picture with Jack Avident. I always
32:45
Speaker 1: enjoy hearing from Jack Aveidan. Brilliant. He is today Social
32:48
Speaker 1: mobility and a great movie. That's the subject of the
32:52
Speaker 1: topic of his conversation should be fun and I love
32:55
Speaker 1: how he links seemingly unlinkable items when he has his
32:58
Speaker 1: conversations with us Donald and Neil for Americans for Prosperity,
33:01
Speaker 1: House Bill five o three, which will prevent you from
33:04
Speaker 1: being double taxed. Apparently a lot of municipalities out there
33:06
Speaker 1: are not allowing you to discount what you pay when
33:09
Speaker 1: you go to work and a separate entity like downtown Cincinnati,
33:13
Speaker 1: only to go home and then have to pay the
33:15
Speaker 1: income tax where you live as well. You should be
33:18
Speaker 1: able to offset that, and that's what Donald ban'nill is
33:20
Speaker 1: advocating for, and House Bill five oh three would prevent
33:23
Speaker 1: them from doing that unless you vote to allow it.
33:26
Speaker 1: Is there anybody out there who would vote to allow
33:28
Speaker 1: them to double income tax? You, I would like to
33:30
Speaker 1: think not. Congressman Thomas Massey, fast forward to eight o
33:33
Speaker 1: five at least will be talking about the Epstein files.
33:36
Speaker 1: It's been voted to move forward, sending unanimous consent, went through,
33:39
Speaker 1: the bill, will move forward. It will land on Donald
33:42
Speaker 1: Trump's desk, and they will release the documents, probably redacted
33:45
Speaker 1: and some withheld by the Department of Justice, who will
33:48
Speaker 1: be claiming that there's ongoing investigations. Will just keep our
33:53
Speaker 1: popcorn out on that one. Add that to the list.
33:56
Speaker 1: So Congressman Massy eight o five, Judge Innapolitana, what the
33:59
Speaker 1: Founder's fear? That's his column subject matter comes out tonight.
34:02
Speaker 1: I get it early. Thank you. G Van Fleet lived
34:05
Speaker 1: through Mao's Revolution, got the hell out of China afterwards,
34:10
Speaker 1: and sees it happening here in the United States. Lots
34:14
Speaker 1: of parallels to be drawn with what we're going through
34:16
Speaker 1: right now and the malised cultural revolution. So she wrote
34:22
Speaker 1: a book Maos America Surviving a Survivor's Warning. Special empower
34:26
Speaker 1: U a seminar tonight, seven o'clock. Empower You America dot org.
34:32
Speaker 1: Register for it. It's loggin only so you consider it
34:35
Speaker 1: home and watch this what exactly are the most commonly
34:38
Speaker 1: used Marxist tactics. She's going to be talking about that,
34:41
Speaker 1: and of course her time under the Cultural Revolution probably
34:44
Speaker 1: an explanation for why she got out, and a giant
34:47
Speaker 1: red flag of warning to the American people that it's
34:50
Speaker 1: fast approaching. So should be a fantastic little introduction to
34:54
Speaker 1: the empower Use seminar taking place tonight five one, three, seven,
34:57
Speaker 1: nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eight to two
34:59
Speaker 1: three pound five fifty on AT and T phones. Obviously
35:03
Speaker 1: a couple more comments about this crazy Banks project, but
35:06
Speaker 1: I got a couple of callers online, so let's start
35:07
Speaker 1: with New Hampshire.
35:08
Speaker 6: Gary.
35:09
Speaker 1: Oh, it's cribbage, Mike, New Hampshire, Wait, cribbage Mike was
35:11
Speaker 1: first welcome back my submarine to friend Mike.
35:15
Speaker 8: Good morning, Brian, and uh kind of ironic that so
35:18
Speaker 8: much discussion this morning has been about the Banks. Because
35:20
Speaker 8: I'd like to throw some kudos out to the Bengals
35:24
Speaker 8: and to Hamilton County for stepping up to the plate
35:27
Speaker 8: and so that Saint ex and Elder can play this
35:30
Speaker 8: game Friday down there, and if nothing else from a
35:33
Speaker 8: PR move, it's not like the Bengals couldn't use a
35:35
Speaker 8: good shot in the arm to help out the community.
35:38
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I mean, isn't it. I agree with
35:41
Speaker 1: you all day long. They obviously have a sort of
35:44
Speaker 1: They do have a monopoly control over who can use
35:46
Speaker 1: the stadium, right, we paid for the damn thing, but
35:49
Speaker 1: they control exclusively apparently anybody who uses it. This is
35:52
Speaker 1: an outstanding use of the stadium which rarely gets used
35:55
Speaker 1: except for the occasional football game they play in it.
35:58
Speaker 1: How about letting letting elder play in it for a change.
36:00
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be cool if you were an elder high
36:02
Speaker 1: school football player. I mean, to be able to play,
36:05
Speaker 1: to play in a professional stadium. It's not going to
36:09
Speaker 1: tear it up and ruin it for everybody else. That's
36:11
Speaker 1: an exciting thing.
36:13
Speaker 8: Yes, the forecast is looking too good as weird. Joe
36:15
Speaker 8: and I were just discussion. But hopefully the field turfle hope.
36:19
Speaker 8: But yeah, but what a throw for the kids. And
36:20
Speaker 8: I'm happy for both programs. You know, and as I
36:22
Speaker 8: travel to the country during my naval career, and it's
36:26
Speaker 8: no headline here that you know, high school sports and
36:30
Speaker 8: especially high school football is so unique too and special
36:34
Speaker 8: to this area. You know that, and then there will
36:37
Speaker 8: always be a regional championship and once again to at
36:40
Speaker 8: least raise it to the level of where that stadium
36:42
Speaker 8: is used fifteen times maybe a year between the jazz
36:46
Speaker 8: festival and a couple of big concerts. You got, you
36:49
Speaker 8: got eight home games. You know what, It would a
36:51
Speaker 8: treat once again for their parents that help pay to
36:54
Speaker 8: build this stadium every every year, this regional final. I
36:57
Speaker 8: don't care what schools are down there, and as you
36:59
Speaker 8: just said, a thrill for these kids to play in
37:01
Speaker 8: an NFL stadium.
37:02
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean hell, when I was a little kid,
37:04
Speaker 1: I was fortunate enough because of who my dad was,
37:06
Speaker 1: to get to walk down on you know, the field.
37:09
Speaker 1: Obviously it was Riverfront Stadium back then. But well that's
37:12
Speaker 1: really wild because you're you're walking around in a place
37:14
Speaker 1: where very few people can just sort of walk around.
37:16
Speaker 1: You're looking around. Wow, it's cool, it's cool. But you're
37:19
Speaker 1: playing a game there. Yeah, the Bengal should do that
37:21
Speaker 1: more often. So yeah, I'm all about it, you know,
37:25
Speaker 1: letting us get a greater use over something we all
37:28
Speaker 1: went in the hole to to to build and pay for.
37:31
Speaker 1: Appreciate that observation and call cribbage.
37:33
Speaker 9: Mike.
37:33
Speaker 1: God bless you, sir. Let's take it there. Have a
37:35
Speaker 1: great day, New Hampshire, Gary, Thanks for holding. Welcome to
37:38
Speaker 1: the Morning Show.
37:40
Speaker 5: Hey Brian, how you doing. I'm going to switch gears
37:42
Speaker 5: on you. I'm sorry about that. I think you'll I
37:45
Speaker 5: think you'll find this interesting And I really like get
37:48
Speaker 5: Maureen's take on this because it's really wild. I was
37:52
Speaker 5: watching Matt Walsh the tich that makes people. Uh, there's
37:57
Speaker 5: apparently a tick that's in in affect it with an
38:00
Speaker 5: enzyme and it's making people allergic to meet and apparently
38:07
Speaker 5: four hundred thousand people are already allergic to it, and
38:10
Speaker 5: they've actually got a report of one person dying. But
38:15
Speaker 5: if you really get in there, you'll find out. There's
38:18
Speaker 5: a Matthew Low. He's a bioethicis who works at New
38:23
Speaker 5: York State University, Oxford, Hopskins, Georgetown Princeton, and he's also
38:30
Speaker 5: given lectures at the World Economic Forum, and he's all
38:33
Speaker 5: over the internet as telling people that we should really
38:38
Speaker 5: allow this enzyme to proliferate and to save the planet
38:47
Speaker 5: from global.
38:48
Speaker 1: Warming because of cal flatulence.
38:53
Speaker 5: Well, correct, that is correct. And they've also got a
38:57
Speaker 5: professor from Michigan, an who also backs it up, saying
39:03
Speaker 5: that not only should we should keep this on the
39:06
Speaker 5: down low. And he's a he's a medical ethesis and
39:11
Speaker 5: writing papers like this, and it's like, you know, the
39:15
Speaker 5: more you think about doctor Fauci and doctor Mangola, there's
39:20
Speaker 5: a bunch of these people out there and they're not
39:23
Speaker 5: thinking of you but their own little agenda, and they're
39:27
Speaker 5: really evil. They're really evil. And I tell you, until
39:32
Speaker 5: the point I trust nobody, you know, it's.
39:35
Speaker 1: A good that's a good default position. I remain jaded,
39:37
Speaker 1: in cynical about everything until he convinced me that, well, uh,
39:41
Speaker 1: there's either you know, scientific proof behind it that you
39:43
Speaker 1: know we're not being lied to. But you know, you
39:45
Speaker 1: think we had an epidemius epidemiologist on the program last
39:48
Speaker 1: year talking about this, and you know, I always wonder,
39:51
Speaker 1: wait a second, it's a you get this virus disease
39:56
Speaker 1: from a tick and it makes you allergic to meet
39:59
Speaker 1: no on the heels of COVID nineteen, recognizing that was
40:02
Speaker 1: released from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, And you do
40:04
Speaker 1: have a world filled with the crazy type of people
40:06
Speaker 1: that you're talking about. New Hampshire garry, those that think
40:09
Speaker 1: that you and I are cockroaches that are destroying the planet.
40:12
Speaker 1: We shouldn't be here in the first place. The depopulation crowd.
40:15
Speaker 1: There's a lot of them out there who think this
40:17
Speaker 1: is an outstanding idea, which would be why this person
40:21
Speaker 1: or these people wouldn't want anybody to be speaking about it.
40:24
Speaker 1: Let it fester, let it go out there. The fewer
40:26
Speaker 1: people will eat meat. And in the name of what
40:29
Speaker 1: global warming or something.
40:31
Speaker 5: Oh, it's totally wicked. And it also because you got
40:35
Speaker 5: to remember, these are the people who are teaching your
40:38
Speaker 5: children when you're at work, you know, oh, I know
40:41
Speaker 5: the poor kids.
40:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean this is I mean I always reading
40:46
Speaker 1: this articles and talking about this the whole time. Mean
40:48
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, The guest on at the end
40:50
Speaker 1: of the show's y Van Fleet, talking about propaganda. You
40:53
Speaker 1: get waves of this from the Chinese Communist Party. I
40:56
Speaker 1: mean this is like supported by governments that oppose us.
40:59
Speaker 1: It's ported by global activists who think the world's population
41:04
Speaker 1: needs to be reduced. I mean there's a multitude of
41:06
Speaker 1: well moneyed or you know, big money supported or government
41:10
Speaker 1: supported entities out there that provide and feed the narrative
41:14
Speaker 1: about this, and it can't. I don't know how you
41:17
Speaker 1: counter something like that. You can talk about it, you
41:20
Speaker 1: can point out the absurdity of it, you can point
41:22
Speaker 1: out maybe the nefarious element about it. We've had other
41:24
Speaker 1: illustrations of bad things happening at the best of crazy
41:28
Speaker 1: people who want this kind of problem to befall us
41:31
Speaker 1: for whatever cause they're fighting for. We know about it,
41:35
Speaker 1: we can talk about it. But can you counter the
41:37
Speaker 1: overwhelming narrative, including the adoption of these ideas and thoughts
41:43
Speaker 1: within our K through twelve education system, thereby legitimizing them
41:47
Speaker 1: beyond the means and the social media influence that perpetuates
41:50
Speaker 1: them all the time. You're kind of getting it from
41:52
Speaker 1: all sides. You can't escape. It requires effort, requires discussion,
42:00
Speaker 1: requires logic and reason in the face of this overwhelming
42:03
Speaker 1: narrative that has been embraced for a lot of nefarious reasons,
42:07
Speaker 1: scary stuff.
42:08
Speaker 10: Man.
42:08
Speaker 1: I acknowledge that, uh, the alpha gal syndrome, Thank you, Eric.
42:13
Speaker 1: I believe that is in fact the meat allergy that's
42:17
Speaker 1: brought about by the tick. Great was that it was
42:21
Speaker 1: that created in a lab. I was just asking for
42:24
Speaker 1: a friend five seven, eight hundred and eighty two to
42:28
Speaker 1: three talk pound Fi fifty on AT and T phones.
42:30
Speaker 1: Maybe PTA has labs like the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
42:35
Speaker 1: That sounds like a total Peda inspired kind of thing.
42:37
Speaker 1: Done it, Kay, what a crazy world we live in?
42:43
Speaker 1: Color in electric for all your residential electric me station
42:53
Speaker 1: six twenty a thirty about Kroc detalk station. Happy Wednesday.
42:59
Speaker 1: Let's see listener lunch. First Wednesday of December, last one
43:02
Speaker 1: of the year. Kind of call that the holiday slash
43:05
Speaker 1: Christmas and for Eric the Flying Spaghetti Monster, honoring celebration
43:11
Speaker 1: as we head on into the holiday season. First ones.
43:13
Speaker 1: They we're gonna be at Price sal Chili and we'll
43:15
Speaker 1: get to West Side. Jim you out there, are we
43:17
Speaker 1: gonna be able to see the new speed bump. They're
43:19
Speaker 1: at the intersection in front of Frysal Chili that they
43:21
Speaker 1: got it installed already. I know we talked about that yesterday.
43:25
Speaker 1: Oh they're there, are joking firm. They are there so
43:27
Speaker 1: you'll be able to see the new speed bump if
43:30
Speaker 1: you're a resident of the city, since nay, you're taxpayer
43:32
Speaker 1: dollars at work seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight
43:36
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty two to three talk go with Town
43:38
Speaker 1: five fifty on AT and T phones. I'm just still
43:40
Speaker 1: puzzling over this proposed Banks development ten to fifteen year project.
43:45
Speaker 1: It's a long term investment and some of the comments
43:48
Speaker 1: are actually kind of surprising. I find myself siding with
43:51
Speaker 1: members of the commissioner members who I normally don't agree with.
43:55
Speaker 1: At least they're keeping the idea of taxes and whether
43:58
Speaker 1: or not we have the money to pay for this
44:00
Speaker 1: damn thing in mind. Interesting comments as they presented this proposal,
44:05
Speaker 1: that developers presented it to the commissioners and then separately
44:08
Speaker 1: the since City Council Alisia Reese commissioner rees talking about
44:13
Speaker 1: the high rise building component of this What makes it
44:18
Speaker 1: special is you can see the river, you can see
44:20
Speaker 1: the water. So why would we have these high rises
44:22
Speaker 1: where only this super rich can see the water referring
44:26
Speaker 1: to the twenty four story high rises that only rich
44:30
Speaker 1: people who can afford to buy condos in there will
44:32
Speaker 1: be enjoying nice class warfare common Alicia contrast that was
44:40
Speaker 1: since a council of Ramka owens. I'm beyond excited where
44:43
Speaker 1: we are. We should go big or go home. It's
44:46
Speaker 1: truly transformative. She wants something even larger than this eight
44:49
Speaker 1: hundred or so million dollar project. Seth Walls said he
44:53
Speaker 1: wondered whether the two high rise buildings were tall enough
44:58
Speaker 1: at twenty four stories, as well as the other two
45:03
Speaker 1: mid rise buildings at eleven stories. Now maybe he does
45:05
Speaker 1: think a tyde park. Joe, you have much no idea
45:14
Speaker 1: how much of a delight it is they have, Jest
45:15
Speaker 1: Trecker and his editorial comments streaming in my head all morning.
45:21
Speaker 1: It's awesome. So this is our vised plan. They previously
45:30
Speaker 1: unveiled a plan back in June, and this one shows
45:32
Speaker 1: edition of several different plaza spaces including are you are
45:37
Speaker 1: you ready? You remember this is your tax pay dollars
45:39
Speaker 1: at work, including a tailgate plaza near the river and
45:43
Speaker 1: a new fan plaza near pay Corse Stadium Maybe at
45:46
Speaker 1: the Engel's fingers were involved in the development of this project.
45:51
Speaker 1: Also plazas multiple plazas, one outside of the National Underground
45:55
Speaker 1: Railroad Freedom Center and near the Black Music Walk of Fame.
45:59
Speaker 1: A plaza outside of the Freedom Center, also the potential
46:03
Speaker 1: for a festival street on Freedomway that they would close
46:08
Speaker 1: for large scale events, and one of the comments that
46:10
Speaker 1: was raised. It was either the commissioners since SAT Council,
46:14
Speaker 1: would this actually these proposed condos and residential spaces actually
46:19
Speaker 1: be a draw? Do you want to live in an
46:23
Speaker 1: area where massive crowds of people show up for festivals?
46:27
Speaker 1: The Brady Center event? Not necessarily massive with Brady's Center,
46:30
Speaker 1: but yes, another opportunity for crowds to be milling around.
46:34
Speaker 1: You of course have games at Great American Ballpark, pay
46:37
Speaker 1: Corpse Stadium regularly. You have events down on the wall itself.
46:41
Speaker 1: So you are literally going to be surrounded by humanity
46:44
Speaker 1: if you dwell in one of these residential things that
46:47
Speaker 1: they're proposing. I'm not sure that I necessarily want to
46:50
Speaker 1: do that. And notably, when does crime pop up? Right
46:56
Speaker 1: when large gatherings of people happen where there's no police
46:59
Speaker 1: presence and people from different neighborhoods or different walks of
47:02
Speaker 1: life or whatever can't play nicely together, and you ended
47:06
Speaker 1: with brutal beatdowns. Ask Holly about that one. No, that
47:12
Speaker 1: wouldn't happen downtown, Joe. It'll happen four blocks up, but
47:18
Speaker 1: not here at the Manx. And the reporting is a
47:25
Speaker 1: little bit confusing because I saw and the reporting from
47:28
Speaker 1: I believe it was Fox nineteen talking about twelve thousand
47:32
Speaker 1: residential units. The Channel nine reporting a bit more lengthy,
47:36
Speaker 1: developers said they aim to create over one thousand new
47:39
Speaker 1: luxury and market rate condominiums and apartments in the high rises.
47:43
Speaker 1: Now that may be separate from residential proposals in the area,
47:47
Speaker 1: but I love the red luxury and market rate condos. Now,
47:51
Speaker 1: assuming these are a draw, that the river and the
47:54
Speaker 1: view is a draw, that living in this newly created
47:57
Speaker 1: environment is going to be a draw for people to
47:59
Speaker 1: live there. Now, you've already acknowledged that a thousand of these,
48:04
Speaker 1: or at least a partial thousand of the units are
48:07
Speaker 1: going to be luxury. But what is market rate? Given
48:10
Speaker 1: that AFT have Pearl voll On City Council keep paying
48:12
Speaker 1: lip service to the idea of affordable housing, does anybody
48:15
Speaker 1: think market rate is going to be within the realm
48:19
Speaker 1: of affordability? There you go, Joe Strecker, you hit the

49:40
Speaker 1: who's using it. Man accused of driving through a crash
49:43
Speaker 1: scene on a closed highway, nearly hitting a Green Township
49:46
Speaker 1: police officer and tow truck driver last week westbound I
49:52
Speaker 1: seventy four. Jonathan Barron fifty five of Fairfield was arrested
49:56
Speaker 1: earlier this week, held overnight without bond and having kind
49:58
Speaker 1: of justice center doing it in court yesterday and four
50:01
Speaker 1: counts are fair to comply with police one kind of
50:03
Speaker 1: driving on a closed highway, misconduct at an emergency, reckless
50:07
Speaker 1: operation of a motor vehicle, and possession of drug paraphernalia
50:12
Speaker 1: licensed under suspension. Also, Baron drove in the highway while
50:19
Speaker 1: it was closed for a crash investigation on Wednesday, November twelfth.
50:23
Speaker 1: According to the affidavit, they say when he then drove
50:26
Speaker 1: up to the police roadblock, was told to stop, failed
50:29
Speaker 1: to comply with officers commands, drove through the crash scene,
50:33
Speaker 1: almost striking officers and a tow truck driver. After driving
50:36
Speaker 1: through the roadblock that was the same night mark our
50:41
Speaker 1: Green Township police, a cruiser was struck on the highway
50:44
Speaker 1: and they say Officer Brandon Rue twenty four blocking the
50:47
Speaker 1: right lane of the highway with his cruiser. Emergency lights
50:50
Speaker 1: were activated because of the crash. Seventy eight year old
50:53
Speaker 1: man behind the wheel of a westbound twenty twenty six
50:55
Speaker 1: Corolla failed to move over for the police cruiser, causing
50:58
Speaker 1: a crash. What's going on out there. OFFICERU Trent taking
51:02
Speaker 1: to Mercy West Hospital, treated and released minor injuries thankfully.
51:06
Speaker 1: Ronald Jackson, the driver treated to the scene by the
51:08
Speaker 1: fire Ems folks from Green Township. He refused transportation to
51:12
Speaker 1: a medical facility described also as minor injuries. Alcohol and
51:15
Speaker 1: drugs and speed do not appear to be a factory
51:19
Speaker 1: in that crash. Peris is the biggest douche of the universe,
51:26
Speaker 1: in all the galaxies. There's no bigger douche than you.
51:31
Speaker 1: You've reached the top, the pinnacle of douche dom.
51:36
Speaker 11: Good going, dude, I know, yeah, your dreams have come true.
51:40
Speaker 1: I was thinking to myself, no drugs, no alcohol, kind
51:43
Speaker 1: of a senior man drive. But he didn't. He ignored
51:45
Speaker 1: police orders and warnings. He ignored everything that was going
51:48
Speaker 1: on around him, so that netted in the award. Joe
51:50
Speaker 1: thought it would have been better if he was under
51:52
Speaker 1: drugs and alcohol, impacted by drugs and alcohol, because at
51:55
Speaker 1: least he would have had an excuse for being such
51:58
Speaker 1: a well award winner. This Let's see what Brian's got. Brian,
52:02
Speaker 1: thanks for calling the Morning Show. Welcome my friend. Happy Wednesday, Yeah,
52:06
Speaker 1: happy hump Day.
52:07
Speaker 12: Brian. Yeah, that guy didn't deserve a doucebag, a worried
52:11
Speaker 12: needed the you moron.
52:13
Speaker 1: Well, there's also that kind of interchangeable you know. I'd
52:17
Speaker 1: like to mix things up with the SoundBite here in
52:18
Speaker 1: the morning show.
52:21
Speaker 12: Now we can't hear in all these elected officials telling
52:24
Speaker 12: us all about affordable housing. Most of them are all
52:27
Speaker 12: pretty affluent, could definitely afford to invest somewhere between twenty
52:32
Speaker 12: and fifty thousand dollars in a tooled effort to a
52:35
Speaker 12: little private equity of affordable housing. Put your money where
52:38
Speaker 12: your mouth is. It's a losing proposition, and don't make
52:42
Speaker 12: me pay for it.
52:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they would argue because they have the means,
52:45
Speaker 1: they wouldn't want to take an affordable unit off the
52:48
Speaker 1: market because that would deprive someone without the financial means
52:51
Speaker 1: of living there. They're going to be altruistic about it.
52:54
Speaker 1: They're going to fall on the sword and pay more
52:55
Speaker 1: for their home because well, they don't want to soak
52:57
Speaker 1: up the affordable housing. Unlike Zorhan Mndami, who would live
53:00
Speaker 1: in a rent control department in New York and spite
53:02
Speaker 1: of the fact that he too came from wealthy uh
53:04
Speaker 1: means wealthy background. It's kind of crazy situation. Let the
53:09
Speaker 1: leftist defended for themselves, Brian.
53:12
Speaker 12: They could they could pool their resources and build a giant,
53:16
Speaker 12: giant apartment complex and charge two hundred dollars a month
53:19
Speaker 12: for it and break in the profits.
53:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, don't think obviously, Brian. The math does not
53:26
Speaker 1: work out that way, or more people would be doing it.
53:30
Speaker 1: Appreciate that, obactly. Bride, thanks to the call. Appreciate you too,
53:33

54:22
Speaker 1: The first person to let me know that there was
54:25
Speaker 1: equipment on the road which suggested they might be repaving
54:28
Speaker 1: Sunset Corey Bowman. He was on his way this was
54:31
Speaker 1: the election day, I think, or the day before, on
54:34
Speaker 1: his way to Sailor Park for some kind of fundraiser
54:36
Speaker 1: or you know, closing event, and he texted me he said,
54:40
Speaker 1: there's road crew equipment on Sunset. Maybe your wish will
54:43
Speaker 1: come true. And I was like, yeah, right, they're probably
54:45
Speaker 1: just staging for some other project, you know, around the corner.
54:48
Speaker 1: Then I had two more reports. Todd Zinzer was one
54:50
Speaker 1: of them who said they're repaving Sunset, like no way.
54:54
Speaker 1: Thank you Jim for confirming they're done with it. That's amazing.
54:56
Speaker 1: And look, I mean, between the election and now they
54:59
Speaker 1: were able to pave all all of Sunset, at least
55:01
Speaker 1: the worst part of it. What the hell is this?
55:04
Speaker 1: Why did we wait twenty years for that? Jim? I appreciate,
55:10
Speaker 1: thank you, and there was much rejoicing. I'm gonna have
55:16
Speaker 1: to go over and drive a on it just to
55:17
Speaker 1: have the smooth sunset experience after all those years. Interesting
55:23
Speaker 1: kind of I wanted to get into this because if
55:26
Speaker 1: you are a parent who has a college age student, maybe,
55:31
Speaker 1: if you're in high school and you're considering your career
55:33
Speaker 1: opportunity choices out in the world. We've talked about this
55:36
Speaker 1: many times, the trades may be the best option for
55:38
Speaker 1: you now. Springing from an op ed piece by Jason
55:42
Speaker 1: Riley dated November eighteenth, how do you spell Harvard with
55:44
Speaker 1: an endless supply of a's? The article is primarily about
55:49
Speaker 1: great inflation, but it comes to a point here towards
55:52
Speaker 1: the end, the more fundamental problems that colleges are admitting
55:55
Speaker 1: too many students who don't belong in college. Policymakers believe
56:00
Speaker 1: that a four year degree is the optimal choice for
56:02
Speaker 1: almost every high school graduate. They play down the worth
56:05
Speaker 1: of alternatives like community college or here you go learning
56:09
Speaker 1: a skilled trade. Like the student debt problem, Great inflation
56:13
Speaker 1: is a function of far too many young people with
56:15
Speaker 1: too little to gain from four years in a classroom
56:18
Speaker 1: being tempted to attend college anyway. So great point made,
56:22
Speaker 1: and that pivots over to the editorial board. Why Ford
56:25
Speaker 1: can't make or find more mechanics. This is a real
56:28
Speaker 1: eye opener. Corporate CEOs keeping their heads down these days.
56:33
Speaker 1: They're right unless they get chopped off by the Trump administration.
56:36
Speaker 1: So last week remarks by Ford Motor CEO Jim Farley
56:39
Speaker 1: deserve credit for candor as well as for the public
56:42
Speaker 1: service of telling politicians a hard truth about the American
56:45
Speaker 1: labor for US, Farley told a podcast that he can't
56:49
Speaker 1: find enough skilled mechanics to run his auto plans. Specifically,
56:53
Speaker 1: and here's where the fun fact comes in. Ford can't
56:57
Speaker 1: fill five thousand mechanic jobs that pay one hundred and
57:02
Speaker 1: twenty thousand dollars a year. He said. We are in
57:08
Speaker 1: h We are in trouble in our country. We are
57:10
Speaker 1: not talking enough about this. We have over one million
57:14
Speaker 1: openings and critical jobs, emergency services, trucking, factory workers, plumbers, electricians,
57:19
Speaker 1: and tradesmen, and they're struggling to hire mechanics at salaries
57:23
Speaker 1: that he points out in the article, that they point
57:24
Speaker 1: out in the article. Ivy League grads might envy, most
57:27
Speaker 1: notably Ivy League grads coming out with a college education
57:31
Speaker 1: diploma in maybe art history, maybe you know equity and
57:36
Speaker 1: diversity issues. You know, parenthetically, if you haven't noticed there's
57:40
Speaker 1: no jobs available in those markets, at least no jobs
57:43
Speaker 1: that actually pay something more than you might make it.
57:45
Speaker 1: McDonald's not that I'm belitving McDonald workers. God bless each
57:48
Speaker 1: and every one.
57:48
Speaker 3: Eve.
57:49
Speaker 1: It's a wonderful stepping stone opportunity, he said. A bay
57:55
Speaker 1: with a lift and tools and no one to work
57:58
Speaker 1: in it. Are you kidding me? Nope. We do not
58:02
Speaker 1: have trade schools in this country, he pointed out, so
58:05
Speaker 1: right to a large degree, few high school teach. High
58:07
Speaker 1: schools teach trades these days. This is something we should
58:10
Speaker 1: all demand. Community colleges are mostly remedial high school education.
58:14
Speaker 1: Government worker training programs have poor results. Government subsidies for
58:18
Speaker 1: college and graduate education have encouraged the young to go
58:21
Speaker 1: to college, even though they might be better off learning
58:23
Speaker 1: a trade. This has created a skills mismatch in the
58:26
Speaker 1: labor market. Unemployment among young college grads is increasing, while
58:31
Speaker 1: employers struggle to hire skilled manufacturing workers, technicians, and contractors.
58:37
Speaker 1: More fun facts, only one hundred and fourteen thousand Americans
58:41
Speaker 1: in their twenties completed vocational programs during the first ten
58:45
Speaker 1: months of last year, compared to one point two four
58:50
Speaker 1: million who graduated from four year colleges and four hundred
58:54
Speaker 1: and five thousand who got advanced degrees. Yet recent bachelorscipions
59:00
Speaker 1: were in their twenties were five point six percent points
59:03
Speaker 1: less likely to be employed than those who finished vocational programs,
59:07
Speaker 1: plus those vocational programs clearly paying a lot of money.
59:12
Speaker 1: National Federation of Independent Businesses reported this month that one
59:15
Speaker 1: third of small business owners reported jobs they could not fill.
59:20
Speaker 1: Forty nine percent reported few or no qualified applicants for
59:24
Speaker 1: positions they were trying to fill. Twenty seven percent cited
59:29
Speaker 1: labor quality as the most important problem employees. If companies
59:35
Speaker 1: can't find skilled workers in the US and aren't allowed
59:39
Speaker 1: to import them, that's where the Donald Trump component comes in,
59:42
Speaker 1: or opening shot to the Trump administration. He says, well,
59:45
Speaker 1: they're going to move productions offshore to the extent they can,
59:48
Speaker 1: but an American who's f one to fifty truck breaks
59:51
Speaker 1: down will still have to pay more at the repair
59:53
Speaker 1: shop owing to the mechanics shortage. It's like a guaranteed
59:57
Speaker 1: career built into it. Vocational school learn how to be
1:00:00
Speaker 1: an automobile mechanic. Wouldn't that be fun? I've always been
1:00:08
Speaker 1: envious of people who've been able to work on their
1:00:10
Speaker 1: own cars. I think the most the most technical thing
1:00:12
Speaker 1: I ever did was replace a fuel pump on a
1:00:14
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three Caprice Classic convertible three point fifty. Yeah,
1:00:18
Speaker 1: real difficult. There's somebody out there laughing, like, what two
1:00:21
Speaker 1: bolts underneath the car? Yeah? Easy access. But I've always
1:00:25
Speaker 1: been envious the folks had been able to do that
1:00:28
Speaker 1: and make one hundred and twenty thousand dollars fixing cars.
1:00:31
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, that sounds a lot more tempting
1:00:33
Speaker 1: than maybe spending four years and getting two hundred thousand
1:00:36
Speaker 1: dollars in debt and come out with a great inflated
1:00:39
Speaker 1: degree in sociology or something. Six forty eight fifty five
1:00:42
Speaker 1: K City Talk station. Mike, I see here on the phone.
1:00:44
Speaker 1: Your call is next. If you don't mind holding just
1:00:46
Speaker 1: a moment, I want to mention twenty two three Route
1:00:53
Speaker 1: forty two between Mason and love It in all right,
1:00:55
Speaker 1: get ready coming up, Black Friday Beat Talk station. It's
1:01:01
Speaker 1: six point fifty two on a Wednesday. The Big Picture
1:01:05
Speaker 1: would the brilliant Jack had of coming up after the
1:01:08
Speaker 1: top of the hour news the subject social mobility and
1:01:10
Speaker 1: a great movie. Looking for that. Donovan O'Neil as well,
1:01:13
Speaker 1: coming up seven thirty and coming up right now, Mike
1:01:16
Speaker 1: was kind of enough to hold over the break. Mike,
1:01:18
Speaker 1: thanks for doing so. Welcome to the program.
1:01:20
Speaker 13: Hi, Brian, talking about the trades. My cousin straight out
1:01:25
Speaker 13: of high school when became a into apprenticeship for a
1:01:28
Speaker 13: pipe fitter. And he's thirty six years old now, no
1:01:33
Speaker 13: college debt, big house, big truck.
1:01:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, and.
1:01:39
Speaker 8: He's happy.
1:01:40
Speaker 3: I bet he is.
1:01:42
Speaker 1: You know, listen, I've been in these sort of this
1:01:45
Speaker 1: type of position, you know, white collar if you want
1:01:48
Speaker 1: to call it. I don't get my nails thirty. You know,
1:01:49
Speaker 1: practice law for sixteen years. You know, some days you're
1:01:53
Speaker 1: sitting there practicing law and you're behind your desk and
1:01:55
Speaker 1: you're working on something you actually hate to work on.
1:01:58
Speaker 1: It's like, just, oh God, I gotta work on this
1:02:01
Speaker 1: damn project. I can't imagine really ever feeling that way
1:02:04
Speaker 1: about being a mechanic, or even maybe a plumber or pipefitter.
1:02:10
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, there's something rewarding to me
1:02:12
Speaker 1: about looking at the work you have performed, presumably successfully.
1:02:16
Speaker 1: I look back on some of the projects that I've
1:02:17
Speaker 1: done over my life, and I haven't done projects a
1:02:20
Speaker 1: lot since I don't know. The house pretty much got done,
1:02:22
Speaker 1: but I've laid hardwood floors, I've done plaster and lathe work.
1:02:26
Speaker 1: I've done some electric work. I've done all kinds of
1:02:28
Speaker 1: stripping of furniture. I've even built some furniture. And every
1:02:31
Speaker 1: time you see it, you know where the imperfections are,
1:02:34
Speaker 1: you know where things weren't done to a professional level,
1:02:36
Speaker 1: but you take pride in it. You look at it
1:02:38
Speaker 1: and think, I did that job well done. And you've
1:02:41
Speaker 1: got to have that sense of accomplishment when you're doing
1:02:43
Speaker 1: the trade work, because I've heard guys who you know
1:02:46
Speaker 1: hang in high iron every time they drive by that
1:02:48
Speaker 1: building they worked on thirty years ago, they get a
1:02:50
Speaker 1: sense of pride and enjoyment. Trust me, there is no
1:02:52
Speaker 1: time in my life, no point in my life where
1:02:54
Speaker 1: ever looked back at some brief I wrote, or some
1:02:57
Speaker 1: argument I made in court and court and myself on
1:03:00
Speaker 1: the back of I remember that beaming with pride milpe,
1:03:04
Speaker 1: not an ounce of it. Maybe that's just me, Maybe
1:03:06
Speaker 1: I'm weird along those lines, But I don't know, a
1:03:08
Speaker 1: sense of accomplishment goes along with trade work. Plus it
1:03:11
Speaker 1: can be very lucrative. Sense of independence can go along
1:03:15
Speaker 1: with it, and real quick props to the welders out
1:03:19
Speaker 1: in the world. I've talked about being impressed by welding,
1:03:21
Speaker 1: and I've always desired to learn how to weld. When
1:03:23
Speaker 1: I was doing that Bourbon tour with my wife and
1:03:25
Speaker 1: friends over the weekend, they were talking about all this
1:03:28
Speaker 1: old equipment. They've got equipment that's been in this facility
1:03:30
Speaker 1: since you like nineteen fifties, nineteen thirties. But one of
1:03:33
Speaker 1: these tanks, they said they couldn't patch it anymore. We
1:03:37
Speaker 1: do everything we can, you know, cut and paste and
1:03:39
Speaker 1: patch and keep these things usable because it's in an
1:03:42
Speaker 1: enclosed space. Things giant, I mean twenty five feet wide, round, cylindrical,
1:03:49
Speaker 1: you know pot kind of thing that well, they had
1:03:51
Speaker 1: to replace one, and I just asked a simple question,
1:03:55
Speaker 1: how did you get how do you replace something like
1:03:57
Speaker 1: that considering there's no door or you know, entry to
1:04:00
Speaker 1: slide it in. They bring it in pieces, and of
1:04:03
Speaker 1: course you can see the welding, all this welding that
1:04:06
Speaker 1: went into it, and I said, oh, those are the
1:04:09
Speaker 1: really well paid welders. And he got this big grin
1:04:11
Speaker 1: in his face. He said, Oh, they are really well
1:04:14
Speaker 1: paid working on stuff like that. You can make ah
1:04:17
Speaker 1: way north of six figures doing welding, so career opportunity.
1:04:23
Speaker 1: Plus you get a sense of pride every time you
1:04:25
Speaker 1: go back to the Castle and Key Distillery and take
1:04:27
Speaker 1: a look at the work you did. I just saying
1:04:29
Speaker 1: five fifty six fifty five car see the talk station
1:04:32
Speaker 1: Jack Atherton after the top of the Iron News, Donovan
1:04:34
Speaker 1: and Neil on the House Bill five oh three which
1:04:37
Speaker 1: should pass. We'll talk about that coming up.
1:04:40
Speaker 14: Today's top headlines coming up at the top of the
1:04:44
Speaker 14: talk station.
1:05:01
Speaker 1: Seven oh six at fifty five parisd talk station. I
1:05:06
Speaker 1: love this time of the week and little get to
1:05:09
Speaker 1: hear from Cott, Donald and Neil Bottom of the hour

Speaker 1: three real important when Congress Fomassie come up in an hour,
1:05:17
Speaker 1: followed by Judge Ennapolitano, Our power there and g Van Fleet,
1:05:21
Speaker 1: who's got the I did a wrote a book called
1:05:23
Speaker 1: Maus America. She's doing an empowery sumar tonight, please market

Speaker 1: down to your counter seven pm. Log in from home.
1:05:30
Speaker 1: She escaped Chinese communist suppression and sees it well before
1:05:34
Speaker 1: her very eyes, unfolding here in our great United States
1:05:37
Speaker 1: of America. So g Van Fleet at eight forty five,
1:05:40
Speaker 1: and right now you waited for it. I've waited for
1:05:43
Speaker 1: it every week, Jack Addton with the Big Picture. My friend, Jack,
1:05:46
Speaker 1: welcome back. It's a great honor having you on the show.
1:05:49
Speaker 11: Always grateful to be with you and Joe and the
1:05:53
Speaker 11: smartest audience anywhere. Friends, if you only wake up now,
1:05:58
Speaker 11: you don't hear the brilliant call between five and set
1:06:03
Speaker 11: better than anything I have to say.
1:06:06
Speaker 1: You know I always joke about it. Jack, I've getting
1:06:08
Speaker 1: kind of a consistency with certain callers calling you, which
1:06:11
Speaker 1: doesn't bother me. I always like to remind people, you know,
1:06:13
Speaker 1: Jay and Tom and Mississippi James, and you know they
1:06:17
Speaker 1: in New Hampshire, Greate. They don't own any particular segment.
1:06:20
Speaker 1: You too can call in and interject your thoughts. But
1:06:22
Speaker 1: I love hearing from those guys and everybody else who
1:06:25
Speaker 1: calls in, Jack, and I love talking to you.
1:06:27
Speaker 3: Man.
1:06:29
Speaker 11: Well, I'm thankful to have this segment. We're coming up
1:06:32
Speaker 11: on Thanksgiving, when some of America's first European settlers gave
1:06:37
Speaker 11: thanks to God and then feasted peacefully with Native Americans.
1:06:43
Speaker 11: I think some schools still teach that today. More likely
1:06:46
Speaker 11: they teach that the Pilgrims scouted the Indians and ate
1:06:50
Speaker 11: all the turkey themselves and then took their casinos. You know, friends,
1:06:55
Speaker 11: it's not accurate to describe the pilgrims guests as Native Americans,
1:07:00
Speaker 11: much less Indians. They were called Indians only because Columbus
1:07:04
Speaker 11: goofed thinking he had covered a shortcut to India, and
1:07:08
Speaker 11: the Indians were called natives because Europeans did not know
1:07:12
Speaker 11: that these Natives had been immigrants just like themselves. They
1:07:16
Speaker 11: had arrived in North America thousands of years sooner than
1:07:19
Speaker 11: the Europeans. When Asian tribes during the Last Ice Age
1:07:24
Speaker 11: crossed a land bridge to what's now called Alaska. They
1:07:27
Speaker 11: were seeking animals to hunt and probably a little warmth.
1:07:32
Speaker 11: Some of these immigrants headed south to California, and then east,
1:07:36
Speaker 11: and more recently, like everybody else, they've moved to Florida.
1:07:41
Speaker 11: The thing is, throughout history and prehistory, folks the world
1:07:46
Speaker 11: over have come to the New World in pursuit of happiness,
1:07:50
Speaker 11: As the Declaration of Independence says, even though hideously, more
1:07:54
Speaker 11: than twelve million people from Africa did not choose to come.
1:07:58
Speaker 11: They were captured and made slaves. He fought a civil
1:08:02
Speaker 11: war to atoned for that, but waited another century to
1:08:05
Speaker 11: guarantee the former slaves equality before the law, which is
1:08:10
Speaker 11: the only equality our Constitution guarantees to anyone. For the
1:08:15
Speaker 11: hundreds of millions of people since Columbus who've chosen to
1:08:19
Speaker 11: become Americans, the goal was always the same, And that's
1:08:23
Speaker 11: what I want to talk about this morning, social mobility,
1:08:28
Speaker 11: not through government decree or social engineering, but through freedom
1:08:32
Speaker 11: of opportunity. So, in honor of Thanksgiving, let's look first
1:08:37
Speaker 11: at the Pilgrims. Why did they need to leave England
1:08:41
Speaker 11: in order to find freedom of religion and the freedom
1:08:44
Speaker 11: to govern themselves. Well, that all goes back to when
1:08:47
Speaker 11: the Roman Empire ruled what was called Britannia for four
1:08:51
Speaker 11: hundred years just after the Crucifixion of Christ till Rome
1:08:56
Speaker 11: fell to Germanic invaders. Brittanny was then led by Celts,
1:09:01
Speaker 11: with the people in Boston call Celts, and then Vikings
1:09:05
Speaker 11: and Saxon's Robin Hood's people until William the Conqueror crossed
1:09:09
Speaker 11: the English Channel from Normandy and made himself king. Today
1:09:14
Speaker 11: many English aristocrats still trace their lineage back to the
1:09:19
Speaker 11: Norman conquest, even some fictional ones. Readers of Jane Austen's
1:09:23
Speaker 11: Pride and Prejudice back in eighteen thirteen would have recognized
1:09:27
Speaker 11: that mister Darcy had a French name. British society for
1:09:32
Speaker 11: centuries remained rigid. Static lords owned almost all the land
1:09:39
Speaker 11: under the medieval feudal system. Knights provided troops for the lords,
1:09:43
Speaker 11: and serfs farmed the lord's land. The feudal equivalent of
1:09:47
Speaker 11: Marlon Brando never said I could have been a contender,
1:09:52
Speaker 11: not even with an English accent, because the British knew
1:09:55
Speaker 11: their place in society and it didn't change pride and prejudice.
1:10:00
Speaker 11: This is a fantasy, a Cinderella story, precisely because aristocrats
1:10:05
Speaker 11: did not tend to marry poor commoners. Much more realistic
1:10:09
Speaker 11: is Jane Austen's Emma, where the heroine hates to even
1:10:13
Speaker 11: befriend so called inferiors, because that would have blurred rigid
1:10:17
Speaker 11: social distinctions. This class system began breaking down with the
1:10:21
Speaker 11: growth of cities and the Industrial Revolution, when factory owners
1:10:26
Speaker 11: became millionaires. Monarchs made them part of the expanded nobility,
1:10:31
Speaker 11: but great Britain is a small island much less powerful
1:10:35
Speaker 11: since the loss of its empire after World War Two.
1:10:38
Speaker 11: So even today, even if you're a rock star, class
1:10:42
Speaker 11: distinctions where you went to school, how you speak could
1:10:46
Speaker 11: still make you feel like a peasant unless you showed
1:10:50
Speaker 11: some gumption and left English. Scots and millions of Irish
1:10:55
Speaker 11: during the Victorian Potato Famine who did not want to
1:10:58
Speaker 11: live like peasants all sought opportunity in America, starting with
1:11:04
Speaker 11: the Thanksgiving Pilgrims, who were dissenters from England's established church.
1:11:09
Speaker 11: In America, they found both religious and social freedom. The
1:11:13
Speaker 11: Pilgrims were Puritanical. They were wild, a different breed of
1:11:17
Speaker 11: settlers pushed into the wild wild West. They called westward
1:11:23
Speaker 11: expansion God's will manifest destiny. We can't get into the
1:11:28
Speaker 11: arguments foreign against, but in fairness to our pioneers, the
1:11:32
Speaker 11: history of the world Brian, going back to ancient Egypt, Greece,
1:11:38
Speaker 11: you name it. The history of the world is a
1:11:40
Speaker 11: history of invasion, conquest, and new government groups. We may
1:11:46
Speaker 11: be living through that today, but for now. What made
1:11:50
Speaker 11: the Old West quite essentially American, It's that it was
1:11:54
Speaker 11: anything but a static society. There were no class distinctions
1:11:59
Speaker 11: in Dodge City other than being dead or alive depending
1:12:02
Speaker 11: on how quick you were with a gun.
1:12:04
Speaker 1: Ye Harvid.
1:12:06
Speaker 11: In the Southern aristocracy, they created a different sort of American,
1:12:11
Speaker 11: one of well established elites. Right here at home. The
1:12:15
Speaker 11: westerner was more democratic, more willing to embrace newcomers, as
1:12:21
Speaker 11: you can see in a classic old time movie. It's
1:12:25
Speaker 11: one of our favorites. Ruggles of Red Gap is about
1:12:29
Speaker 11: an English butler in nineteen oh eight whose aristocratic master
1:12:34
Speaker 11: loses him in a poker game to an American millionaire.
1:12:39
Speaker 11: But this is a Western millionaire with no snobbery, no pretensions.
1:12:44
Speaker 11: The millionaire takes Ruggles back to his gold mining town
1:12:48
Speaker 11: in the West, Red Gap, not as a butler, but
1:12:51
Speaker 11: as a friend. He then helps Ruggles open a restaurant
1:12:55
Speaker 11: so he can become part of the bedrock of america
1:12:58
Speaker 11: small business owner. The highlight of the film is Charles
1:13:03
Speaker 11: Lawton as Ruggles, reciting a speech everyone else in Red
1:13:07
Speaker 11: Gap had forgotten, the Gettysburg address. Abraham Lincoln was a
1:13:12
Speaker 11: Westerner from the days when Kentucky and Ohio were part
1:13:15
Speaker 11: of the untamed wilderness. Now, folks, I'm not forgetting that
1:13:19
Speaker 11: the West could be brutal. Mining towns exploited their workers viciously.
1:13:25
Speaker 11: Chinese railroad workers suffered almost as much as Southern slaves,
1:13:29
Speaker 11: and of course Native Americans they lost everything. Still, let's
1:13:34
Speaker 11: remember that on our big, beautiful country, there's room for
1:13:38
Speaker 11: the good and the bad. There's room to make yourself
1:13:42
Speaker 11: good or bad. The American West allowed more room to
1:13:46
Speaker 11: grow than anywhere on Earth, and Americans everywhere still benefit
1:13:51
Speaker 11: if they choose. They still benefit from Lincoln's legacy of
1:13:55
Speaker 11: a government, a society not of aristocrats, not a privileged
1:14:00
Speaker 11: races or sexes or classes, but a free society of
1:14:05
Speaker 11: the people, by the people, and for the people. So
1:14:09
Speaker 11: once we've eaten enough turkey this Thanksgiving and watched enough football,
1:14:13
Speaker 11: I'd recommend gathering the family and streaming ruggles of red Gas.
1:14:18
Speaker 11: You'll laugh, and maybe you'll tear her up a little
1:14:20
Speaker 11: and have one more thing to be thankful for. I
1:14:24
Speaker 11: appreciate an American. So what do you say, Kimo Sabi?
1:14:29
Speaker 11: I like called the Lone Ranger. If Elizabeth Warren can
1:14:33
Speaker 11: pretend to be an American Indian, then why not us,
1:14:36
Speaker 11: my trusted friends?
1:14:37
Speaker 1: There you have it. I appreciate the movie recommendation. Honestly,
1:14:39
Speaker 1: that's what I'm not familiar with, which surprises me. But
1:14:42
Speaker 1: at a couple of observations. You know, the beauty which
1:14:45
Speaker 1: you talk about of the idea, the freedom to flee
1:14:48
Speaker 1: whatever form of oppression you're living under, to go someplace
1:14:51
Speaker 1: where you can engage in and enjoy what you were
1:14:54
Speaker 1: deprived of. Freedom wise, of course, the settlers, original sellers,
1:14:58
Speaker 1: did a lot of that. The Pilgrims and the reason
1:15:00
Speaker 1: they left religious persecution. They came here very difficult, I'll
1:15:04
Speaker 1: just insurmountable challenges. Of course, a lot of them died,
1:15:07
Speaker 1: and that concept continued to work well for us. We
1:15:12
Speaker 1: were very strict about who we allowed in. Once you
1:15:14
Speaker 1: had the establishment of an organized immigration system, like you
1:15:19
Speaker 1: know Ellis Island. They checked for disease. They wanted to
1:15:21
Speaker 1: make sure you were capable of surviving and defending for
1:15:24
Speaker 1: yourself and feeding and clothing yourself. There was there was
1:15:27
Speaker 1: no social welfare safety net, and if we took I
1:15:30
Speaker 1: would wonder Jack Avidan if there was no social welfare
1:15:34
Speaker 1: safety net which everyone and his brother who comes into
1:15:37
Speaker 1: our country apparently can get access to on the backs
1:15:39
Speaker 1: of the American people who may be relying on that
1:15:42
Speaker 1: for their own interest. But if there was no social
1:15:44
Speaker 1: welfare safety net, I wonder how many people would be
1:15:46
Speaker 1: trying to get into the United States if they had
1:15:49
Speaker 1: to survive on their own merits. I imagine it would
1:15:51
Speaker 1: still be a pretty significant number, giving the amount of
1:15:53
Speaker 1: oppression that exists in the world. But we would probably
1:15:57
Speaker 1: end up drawing only the best and brightest, because if
1:16:00
Speaker 1: you've got to fend for yourself, you better damn well
1:16:02
Speaker 1: have some skill sets, or you're going to be like
1:16:04
Speaker 1: someone out in the wilderness with no water and no
1:16:07
Speaker 1: provisions and no skill sets to survive out in the wilderness.
1:16:11
Speaker 11: Well, that's what Milton Friedman had said, Dan, we often
1:16:15
Speaker 11: quote him. You can't have open borders and a welfare
1:16:18
Speaker 11: state just does it work economically. And you also don't
1:16:21
Speaker 11: get the kind of people who were willing to brave
1:16:24
Speaker 11: the ocean and brave the braves, you know, going west
1:16:27
Speaker 11: and all the rest. Those people were magnificent. A lot
1:16:31
Speaker 11: of the people coming into our country today are not.
1:16:34
Speaker 11: Too many people today are willing to trade social mobility
1:16:38
Speaker 11: for government crumbs. It seems easier safer to snuggle up
1:16:43
Speaker 11: with your iPhone and self righteously proclaim that you're a
1:16:46
Speaker 11: victim of some kind of oppression capitalism, racism, sexism. People
1:16:51
Speaker 11: looking at you funny. So you deserve to live off
1:16:55
Speaker 11: the big state, off your neighbor's taxes. What we have
1:16:59
Speaker 11: got to do? Maybe not during Thanksgiving dinner, there are
1:17:02
Speaker 11: too many knives at the table, but we got to
1:17:05
Speaker 11: condense people that being an American, a real American, beats
1:17:10
Speaker 11: being a grifter a socialist. Which is why you and
1:17:13
Speaker 11: Joe go on the air every morning at five oh five,
1:17:16
Speaker 11: and we are thankful for that.
1:17:18
Speaker 1: God bless you, Jack Avidan and you are a reason
1:17:21
Speaker 1: that we have so many listeners tuning into the morning show,
1:17:23
Speaker 1: most notably at this time of the morning every Wednesday.
1:17:26
Speaker 1: And I'm already looking to next Wednesday, another very insightful
1:17:29
Speaker 1: and historically connected discussion. You do a wonderful job, Jack Avid,
1:17:33
Speaker 1: and that's why I am blessed to have you on
1:17:35
Speaker 1: the show, and I know my listeners feel the same way.
1:17:37
Speaker 1: As always, Best to you, you're better half, Amsley, and
1:17:40
Speaker 1: much love, best to health, and we'll see you next Wednesday.
1:17:42
Speaker 1: Jack Athdan love to Paul that thanks thanks brother. I
1:17:46
Speaker 1: will pass it along. I think he just did anyway,
1:17:48
Speaker 1: she normally listens, which I appreciate. Seven nineteen Right now
1:17:51
Speaker 1: fifty five kros the talk station from Patrician Newbury headline.
1:17:55
Speaker 1: With inflation will get less bridge for more money in
1:17:59
Speaker 1: place for Western Hills Viadact. Remember the restural the Westernis
1:18:02
Speaker 1: Viadact product project was supposed to cost. I guess it
1:18:06
Speaker 1: got increased over time. Three hundred and ninety eight million
1:18:08
Speaker 1: was the last estimate. Now it's going to be more
1:18:09
Speaker 1: than that, and they've they've reduced the size of the
1:18:12
Speaker 1: design now because of inflation now calling for a new
1:18:16
Speaker 1: single deck bridge with three lanes instead of four in
1:18:19
Speaker 1: each direction, among other cuts, because well it's been languishing
1:18:24
Speaker 1: for such a long time now considering the eight hundred
1:18:26
Speaker 1: million dollar proposal that was rolled out for the Banks
1:18:28
Speaker 1: project yesterday. Just an out loud question rhetorical it may be.
1:18:33
Speaker 1: How much is that eight hundred million dollar project going
1:18:35
Speaker 1: to be when they ultimately decide to finally break around? Yeah,
1:18:38
Speaker 1: I know, Marcy. Welcome to the Morning Show. Thanks for calling,
1:18:40
Speaker 1: and a happy Wednesday to you.
1:18:43
Speaker 15: Thanks Brian, you.
1:18:43
Speaker 6: Too, and we love your show.
1:18:45
Speaker 1: Oh, thank you.
1:18:46
Speaker 15: I just wanted to call and you're welcome. I just
1:18:49
Speaker 15: wanted to call and tell you my daughter lives on
1:18:51
Speaker 15: Cape Cod and there is a wait list for kids
1:18:57
Speaker 15: to get into.
1:18:57
Speaker 13: Trade schools there.
1:19:00
Speaker 15: And she said that, yeah, she said it's been like
1:19:02
Speaker 15: that for about the last eight or nine years.
1:19:05
Speaker 6: No.
1:19:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, And what would be logical response to that, be, Marcy,
1:19:12
Speaker 1: maybe more trade schools to meet the growing demand. Huh,
1:19:15
Speaker 1: that'd be a good idea, I would think.
1:19:18
Speaker 15: So, there are a lot of wealthy people who live
1:19:21
Speaker 15: on the Cape that don't live there year round. They
1:19:23
Speaker 15: come just for a few weeks here and there, so
1:19:26
Speaker 15: you know, their houses sit empty, and so you know
1:19:29
Speaker 15: there's always a problem that they need somebody to fix
1:19:32
Speaker 15: something right away. Well everybody does, not just the wealthy,
1:19:35
Speaker 15: but you know you want to fixed right away and
1:19:37
Speaker 15: you have to wait a long time. Another point that
1:19:41
Speaker 15: she discovered is she was going to a PTA meeting
1:19:46
Speaker 15: early at her son's school at about eight thirty, I guess.
1:19:50
Speaker 15: And she noticed that there were a lot of men
1:19:53
Speaker 15: there and not many women at the PTA meetings, a
1:19:56
Speaker 15: lot of fathers, huh. And she looked out on the
1:19:59
Speaker 15: parking lot and she thought, oh my gosh, look at
1:20:01
Speaker 15: all those big, expensive trucks in the parking lot, and
1:20:06
Speaker 15: she said that's because they own their own business and
1:20:08
Speaker 15: they can make their own hours.
1:20:10
Speaker 3: Ah.
1:20:11
Speaker 1: Another advantage of the tree. Really Yeah, independent business owner,
1:20:16
Speaker 1: that's a wonderful thing. Make your own hours, work as
1:20:19
Speaker 1: much as little as you want, control your own destiny.
1:20:21
Speaker 1: I love it. I need more trades, We need more
1:20:24
Speaker 1: trade schools here as well. Marcie apparently is a huge demand.
1:20:26
Speaker 1: When I mentioned the welders out there, I got an
1:20:28
Speaker 1: immediate message from my machine tool owning shop friend Jeff,
1:20:32
Speaker 1: who said master wilders are in huge demand, so confirming
1:20:37
Speaker 1: what he deals with every single day. Congratulations Jeff for
1:20:41
Speaker 1: observations and confirming my suspicions. And a shout out to
1:20:44
Speaker 1: the crew at Marcon Tool. Marcy, thanks for the call
1:20:47
Speaker 1: stick around. We're gonna hear from Donald O'Neil next House
1:20:50
Speaker 1: Bill five to three. Yeah, they want more money from you,
1:20:52
Speaker 1: and House Bill five oh three may give you an
1:20:54
Speaker 1: option to say how about no hour power? Come up
1:20:59
Speaker 1: the beginning at eight with Congressman Thomas Massey and we'll
1:21:02
Speaker 1: talk a little Epstein files among other topics with Massey.
1:21:05
Speaker 1: One hour from now, Judge in and of Poulaitano and
1:21:07
Speaker 1: what the founders feared. We'll hear from g Van Fleet,
1:21:13
Speaker 1: author of Maus America. She fled the Chinese Communist Party
1:21:17
Speaker 1: and says we got a real problem on our hands
1:21:19
Speaker 1: brewing here in the United States of America, based upon
1:21:21
Speaker 1: her life experiences. That'll be at eight to forty five
1:21:23
Speaker 1: with an empower you Smar tonight at seven pm log
1:21:27
Speaker 1: in from home. It's going to be a fascinating conversation
1:21:30
Speaker 1: without further ado. Always a fascinating conversation, and appreciate what
1:21:32
Speaker 1: Americans for Prosperity does each and every day helping you
1:21:35
Speaker 1: get involved. Every little bit counts, so nobody knows that
1:21:37
Speaker 1: more than Donovan and Neil. Welcome back, my friend. It's
1:21:39
Speaker 1: always great having you on the program this time of.
1:21:41
Speaker 3: Week, Brian.
1:21:43
Speaker 1: Always a pleasure to be with you.
1:21:44
Speaker 3: Midwek Thanks for having me.
1:21:45
Speaker 1: And I didn't realize that this double taxation thing was
1:21:48
Speaker 1: actually going on. My impression has been, has always been,
1:21:51
Speaker 1: and obviously needs to be corrected that if I work
1:21:55
Speaker 1: like here in the City of Cincinnati, the charge you
1:21:58
Speaker 1: in income tax, my local municipality was also charging a
1:22:02
Speaker 1: tax because I would be getting taxed in both municipalities
1:22:06
Speaker 1: that I would be able to write off or reduce
1:22:08
Speaker 1: my local level taxation based upon what I paid in
1:22:11
Speaker 1: the city. That's kind of normal, isn't it, Donovan? Or
1:22:16
Speaker 1: isn't it Why do we need House Bill five oh three?
1:22:20
Speaker 14: Well, it was normal up until it seems like recent
1:22:24
Speaker 14: last couple of years, maybe a couple months.
1:22:26
Speaker 3: What we're finding, right, Yeah, you're right. You work in
1:22:29
Speaker 3: a city.
1:22:29
Speaker 14: The norm here in Ohio has been the city you
1:22:32
Speaker 14: work in is the place where you pay your income tax, right,
1:22:35
Speaker 14: and then the community you live in or if you
1:22:37
Speaker 14: also live in a city, they oftentimes will give you
1:22:39
Speaker 14: a reciprocal credit. And most of the time those would
1:22:42
Speaker 14: even out. Right, So if it was a two percent
1:22:44
Speaker 14: income tax and the time you worked in and then
1:22:47
Speaker 14: two percent in the time you lived in, you'd only
1:22:49
Speaker 14: paid two percent of your income for municipal services.
1:22:52
Speaker 3: But cities were not bound to that.
1:22:54
Speaker 14: And so what they found, the bill sponsors Bill Rome
1:22:57
Speaker 14: or Heidi Workmen have found is that they have costs
1:23:00
Speaker 14: reaching out saying that their taxes are going up and
1:23:03
Speaker 14: their cities, their councils are voting to increase remove that reciprocity,
1:23:07
Speaker 14: I should say, and so you're finding a situation where
1:23:10
Speaker 14: Ohioans who work in one town live in another are
1:23:13
Speaker 14: being double taxed. To the point, Brian, because we're now
1:23:16
Speaker 14: a flat tax state at two point seventy five percent,
1:23:20
Speaker 14: people are paying more in local municipal income taxes than
1:23:24
Speaker 14: they are to the state of Ohio for services. It's ludicrous,
1:23:27
Speaker 14: and House both five H three stops that practice.
1:23:30
Speaker 3: Well.
1:23:31
Speaker 1: Puts the brakes on it puts the brakes on it.
1:23:33
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the details in that in just a minute.
1:23:34
Speaker 1: But did this spring from COVID? I know, we had
1:23:38
Speaker 1: a real problem with the City of Cincinnati. They continue
1:23:40
Speaker 1: to withhold taxes from folks who were working at home,
1:23:43
Speaker 1: working at home not within the City of Cincinnati limits,
1:23:46
Speaker 1: which meant under the prior structure, or at least I
1:23:49
Speaker 1: mean even the then existing structure, that the city was
1:23:51
Speaker 1: not allowed to collect those taxes even though it continued
1:23:54
Speaker 1: to do so while people were working at home. Real
1:23:57
Speaker 1: problem for me, I mean ethically, I thought that was wrong.
1:24:00
Speaker 1: I don't know whether the city ultimately had to refund
1:24:02
Speaker 1: the taxes they took out, but that was inconsistent with
1:24:06
Speaker 1: that law. Did did municipalities change this taxation structure? To
1:24:12
Speaker 1: the point where we need House Bill five o three
1:24:14
Speaker 1: to deal with it because of that type of situation
1:24:16
Speaker 1: with COVID.
1:24:18
Speaker 3: Well, I think what.
1:24:19
Speaker 14: I've understood from reading from bill sponsor or opponents of
1:24:22
Speaker 14: this legislation is that cities are feeling the pinch. They
1:24:25
Speaker 14: feel like they need more funds, and they are, you know,
1:24:30
Speaker 14: they're using this tactic as a way to raise pack
1:24:33
Speaker 14: to collect more tax revenue without having to go to
1:24:36
Speaker 14: the voters and ask for it. So I think that's
1:24:39
Speaker 14: the largest drivers They're saying, where can we get more
1:24:42
Speaker 14: money from our citizens. Well, we're gonna we're going to
1:24:44
Speaker 14: remove this reciprocity credit so that we can you know,
1:24:47
Speaker 14: get that get those moneys from them.
1:24:49
Speaker 1: There's never enough, is there, Donovan? There's just never never enough. Well, pause,
1:24:53
Speaker 1: we'll bring back, bring back Donovan talk about the details
1:24:56
Speaker 1: on this and which I think is my understand Uh,
1:24:59
Speaker 1: the House bill, it'll give you a say and whether
1:25:02
Speaker 1: or not you want that to happen question. We do
1:25:04
Speaker 1: vote for a higher income tax. A kerc DE talk
1:25:07
Speaker 1: station Brian Thomas with Americans for Prosperities Donald and hil segment.
1:25:11
Speaker 1: We do every week. They are really working hard for Ohio.
1:25:14
Speaker 1: And the bottom line is the bottom line on this one.
1:25:17
Speaker 1: HB five oh three. If a city wants a double
1:25:19
Speaker 1: tax you, they got to ask you first. And this
1:25:21
Speaker 1: of course springs from the reality. And I did not
1:25:24
Speaker 1: realize and according to your notes, and I know AFP
1:25:27
Speaker 1: is always right on these things. Ohio has some of
1:25:30
Speaker 1: the highest municipal tax income tax rates in the entire country,
1:25:33
Speaker 1: the sixth most, six most local taxing jurisdictions. And of course,
1:25:38
Speaker 1: eliminating reciprocity, meaning your local jurisdiction can charge you income
1:25:42
Speaker 1: tax along with the city where you work. That's going
1:25:45
Speaker 1: to really increase your taxes. And of course that's happening
1:25:47
Speaker 1: to people right now now. House Billed five oh three
1:25:50
Speaker 1: provides some relief on this. Now, is this unusual requiring
1:25:53
Speaker 1: voter approval for reciprocity, because that's what this calls for
1:25:56
Speaker 1: if they want to if they want to take away
1:25:58
Speaker 1: reciprocity waivers and we at least get a say over
1:26:01
Speaker 1: it where we live.
1:26:03
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think that's necessarily required right now.
1:26:06
Speaker 14: I'm sure a city could, if they wanted to wright
1:26:09
Speaker 14: be good governance, put that in front of their voters
1:26:12
Speaker 14: and give them the choice, but right now they can
1:26:14
Speaker 14: do that unilaterally.
1:26:16
Speaker 3: This bill would require that.
1:26:18
Speaker 14: They go to the citizens as well as give the
1:26:21
Speaker 14: citizens an ability to go out circulate a petition and
1:26:26
Speaker 14: change that reciprocity rate themselves if their council is unwilling.
1:26:30
Speaker 12: To do so.
1:26:31
Speaker 1: Okay, I understand the petition idea. We've seen that quite
1:26:37
Speaker 1: a bit lately. But I'm wondering whether there would there
1:26:40
Speaker 1: be a legal challenge to this, Like, is this violating
1:26:43
Speaker 1: some sort of home rule right that municipalities have to
1:26:46
Speaker 1: set their own tax rates? Is this going to be
1:26:49
Speaker 1: ultimately challenged in court. I don't know that you necessarily
1:26:52
Speaker 1: know that, but I understand how municipalities might find this
1:26:55
Speaker 1: to be a rather touchy subject.
1:26:58
Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm not quite sure exactly what the legal challenges
1:27:01
Speaker 14: might get presented there. But I think at the end
1:27:04
Speaker 14: of the day, right we want to be putting right now,
1:27:07
Speaker 14: from property taxes to income taxes.
1:27:09
Speaker 3: The balance of power exists with the bureaucrats, with.
1:27:14
Speaker 14: The governments, right, And what bills like this and many
1:27:18
Speaker 14: of the bills that'll be passed later today on property
1:27:20
Speaker 14: tax reform, what these bills do is put the tax payer,
1:27:24
Speaker 14: the citizen back in the driver's seat of having final
1:27:28
Speaker 14: stay on their local taxation.
1:27:30
Speaker 1: And I think that's the important part here. You said
1:27:33
Speaker 1: the property tax former bills are going to pass today.
1:27:37
Speaker 1: That's hopeful fingers crossed, Brian, I hope I don't jinx it.
1:27:39
Speaker 1: But there are four bills.
1:27:41
Speaker 14: That the Senate I've already been passed out of the House,
1:27:45
Speaker 14: the Senate Committee has, and the ideas they've been vetted,
1:27:49
Speaker 14: They've been heard opponents, proponents, interested parties alike. And the
1:27:53
Speaker 14: goal I think we'll see if it happens this afternoon
1:27:55
Speaker 14: through one of these marathon sessions, they can move these
1:27:58
Speaker 14: bills to the government.
1:28:01
Speaker 1: What of House Built five three in terms of its
1:28:04
Speaker 1: passage or in terms of your tea leaf predicting on
1:28:07
Speaker 1: whether or not this has the support to pass, I
1:28:10
Speaker 1: would imagine that it would enjoy bipartisan support. But then again,
1:28:14
Speaker 1: we're talking about the state of Ohio and Columbus.
1:28:18
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, municipalities have been tricked.
1:28:21
Speaker 14: I mean any local government because we have the sixth
1:28:23
Speaker 14: most political subdivisions in the country, right, Cities, townships, villages, schools, counties,
1:28:28
Speaker 14: special districts, Brian, you name them, they get a slice
1:28:31
Speaker 14: of your pocketbook. And wallet every month. The likelihood of
1:28:35
Speaker 14: this passing I think is pretty good. We're still early phase.
1:28:38
Speaker 14: We're going in as proponents today for the third hearing
1:28:41
Speaker 14: supporting this legislation. Chairman Bill Romer is really effective.
1:28:45
Speaker 3: At what he does.
1:28:46
Speaker 14: He's why he's somebody AFP is long time supported and
1:28:48
Speaker 14: still alongside fights for the taxpayers. We'll see what happens,
1:28:52
Speaker 14: but I think this is an important one. It's got
1:28:54
Speaker 14: to be pretty universally accepted, right Brian that if Yeah,
1:28:57
Speaker 14: the voters should have the final say on their taxes,
1:29:00
Speaker 14: especially at a local level.
1:29:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's as a matter of fairness as well.
1:29:04
Speaker 1: I just when when you start considering where you might
1:29:07
Speaker 1: live and work, I mean people might factor this into
1:29:11
Speaker 1: the equation. If you're going to get tax where you
1:29:13
Speaker 1: live and tax where you work, you might gravitate away
1:29:15
Speaker 1: from even entering into that possibility.
1:29:19
Speaker 14: Well, you know Southwest Ohio better than me, but you
1:29:22
Speaker 14: know you could. I looked at the rates you could
1:29:24
Speaker 14: live in the city of Norwood. That'd be a reasonable
1:29:26
Speaker 14: place to live in Southwest Ohio, right, Norwood, all right?
1:29:29
Speaker 1: And work in the it is still somewhat affordable. I
1:29:33
Speaker 1: think that's like your next Oakley or you know, which
1:29:35
Speaker 1: which used to be kind of like Norwood in terms
1:29:38
Speaker 1: of perception. Now it's more like Hyde Park, which is
1:29:40
Speaker 1: a very affluent neighborhood. You know, give it time, all
1:29:42
Speaker 1: the neighborhoods, we'll transform into something rather And I've always
1:29:45
Speaker 1: had real positive hope for Norwood as one of those
1:29:49
Speaker 1: neighborhoods who's just going to continue to be more and
1:29:51
Speaker 1: more successful and affluent.
1:29:53
Speaker 14: But I could have it wrong, But my point is
1:29:57
Speaker 14: you could live in Norwood working since anat and you're
1:30:01
Speaker 14: going to pay right now three point eight percent. Now,
1:30:05
Speaker 14: they may the reciprocity credit in those in Norwood may
1:30:08
Speaker 14: already be in place, So I don't want your listeners
1:30:09
Speaker 14: to go with pitchforks and torches to city Hall.
1:30:12
Speaker 3: But if this bill doesn't pass and the City.
1:30:14
Speaker 14: Of Norwood would remove any reciprocity credits it may or
1:30:17
Speaker 14: may not provide right now, you could realistically pay living
1:30:20
Speaker 14: in that city, working in Cincinnati three point eight percent
1:30:23
Speaker 14: of your income just to local municipalities both where you
1:30:26
Speaker 14: live and work. That's far less than the two point
1:30:29
Speaker 14: seventy percent you're going to pay to the state, and
1:30:32
Speaker 14: just seems unreasonable in many ways.
1:30:35
Speaker 1: I couldn't agree with you more. Donovan and Neil rarely
1:30:38
Speaker 1: have a disagreement with you. Sir, Hey, real quick, I
1:30:40
Speaker 1: don't want to put you on the spot. The property
1:30:42
Speaker 1: tax reform bills that we're going to see today, let's
1:30:44
Speaker 1: assume they pass real quick. What kind of relief is
1:30:47
Speaker 1: this going to provide us? Donovan, if you if you
1:30:49
Speaker 1: don't mind recapping that before we before we part company
1:30:51
Speaker 1: this morning.
1:30:53
Speaker 14: Yeah, so, in sure, one of the things that's going
1:30:55
Speaker 14: to do is provide more local control by empowering these
1:30:59
Speaker 14: county budget commissions to look at unnecessary or excessive and
1:31:04
Speaker 14: they define what unnecessary and excessive is in the bill,
1:31:07
Speaker 14: so that if you have a local political subdivision that's
1:31:10
Speaker 14: just pulling too much money in this county budget commission
1:31:14
Speaker 14: can be a check and balance on behalf of the
1:31:15
Speaker 14: taxpayer to say you don't actually need that new tax revenue,
1:31:19
Speaker 14: how about you give it back to your constituents. So
1:31:21
Speaker 14: that's a direct relief that folks will receive. The other
1:31:24
Speaker 14: piece that I think is key here is the unvoted
1:31:27
Speaker 14: tax increases. They're capping those to inflation, and that's where
1:31:30
Speaker 14: you see right where property valuations will go twenty thirty
1:31:33
Speaker 14: forty percent, and the local subdivisions would be able to
1:31:37
Speaker 14: enjoy all of that increase in revenue without any vote
1:31:41
Speaker 14: by the taxpayer.
1:31:42
Speaker 3: They're going to cap that.
1:31:43
Speaker 14: To inflation so that we don't see these massive spikes
1:31:46
Speaker 14: like we saw coming out of the COVID years. Ever, again,
1:31:49
Speaker 14: it's the most significant property tax reform in the last
1:31:52
Speaker 14: since the nineteen seventies. And there's another piece where they're
1:31:55
Speaker 14: going to believe they will provide a credit based on
1:32:00
Speaker 14: updated valuations, so there's some money that will also go
1:32:03
Speaker 14: back into people's pockets. So structurally changing the system as
1:32:07
Speaker 14: well as giving some folks some relief across the state of.
1:32:10
Speaker 1: Awio steps in the right direction. Obviously an effort because
1:32:14
Speaker 1: it's needed, but also in an effort to maybe head
1:32:16
Speaker 1: off eradication of property tax a petition that's circulating. They
1:32:21
Speaker 1: do need to get ahead of that. Do you expect
1:32:23
Speaker 1: more property tax reform between now and sometime before next
1:32:26
Speaker 1: year's election?
1:32:29
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean this stuff they're doing is pretty significant
1:32:31
Speaker 14: and it tackles a lot of the things that the
1:32:32
Speaker 14: governor had vetoed.
1:32:33
Speaker 3: We could have been crazy.
1:32:34
Speaker 14: Thing is, Brian, we could have been already had this
1:32:36
Speaker 14: done back in the summer, But here we are.
1:32:38
Speaker 3: It's going to get done today, we hope. Well yeah,
1:32:41
Speaker 3: and I think there's going to need to be more
1:32:45
Speaker 3: on this issue.
1:32:45
Speaker 14: I think we'll get through this sort of see where
1:32:47
Speaker 14: the opportunities lie. But from municipal tax collection to property taxes.
1:32:52
Speaker 3: Our problem at.
1:32:53
Speaker 14: The heart of this all, Brian, is the amount of
1:32:55
Speaker 14: government we have at that local level. It's burdensome, it's
1:32:58
Speaker 14: holding people back, and it's robbing our pocketbooks, starving our pocketbooks.
1:33:03
Speaker 1: Understand. We had a conversation about that not too long ago,
1:33:05
Speaker 1: within the last week or two, Donovan and Nel Americans
1:33:07
Speaker 1: for Prosperity Call to Action Plan. Do we need people
1:33:10
Speaker 1: to get in touch with their elected officials to tell
1:33:12
Speaker 1: them to push forward with HB five thirty or five
1:33:16
Speaker 1: oh three rather Yeah, yep.
1:33:18
Speaker 3: HB five oh three.

1:33:27
Speaker 1: Don Renil, thank you so much for making it easy
1:33:29

1:33:31

Speaker 1: I appreciate all that. I appreciate you coming on the
1:33:36
Speaker 1: show every week. I'll look forward to next week with
1:33:38
Speaker 1: another update. Fifty three here fifty five care CD talk station.
1:33:43
Speaker 1: Go to fifty five care sea dot com when you
1:33:45
Speaker 1: can't listen to Jack Evidan's brilliance at seven oh five
1:33:47
Speaker 1: on a Wednesday, fifty five care sea dot COM's place
1:33:50
Speaker 1: to get the podcast. Joe Strucker's already updated the blog
1:33:53
Speaker 1: page to incorporate that, and again a real strong recommendation,
1:33:57
Speaker 1: go to empower your America dot org and register. Get
1:34:01
Speaker 1: it out of the way, register now so you can
1:34:02
Speaker 1: be ready to hit the ground running. At seven oh
1:34:04
Speaker 1: five for my eight forty five guest, who is just
1:34:09
Speaker 1: you know, it's got a genuine story to tell, j
1:34:13
Speaker 1: Van Fleet, you know, warning her fellow Americans. She is
1:34:16
Speaker 1: an American now because she fled the Marxist ideological cultural
1:34:20
Speaker 1: revolution that she lived through in China, and she sees
1:34:22
Speaker 1: it happening here in America. How I didn't live through it,
1:34:28
Speaker 1: I can see it happening here in America. So you know,
1:34:32
Speaker 1: it's maybe something to get your kids around the screen
1:34:35
Speaker 1: to watch as well. Greater for more profound appreciation for
1:34:39
Speaker 1: the freedoms and liberties that we enjoy. You know, Jack
1:34:41
Speaker 1: Avid and touched upon that social mobility, the idea that
1:34:44
Speaker 1: people fled for example, oppressive England. You know, we had
1:34:48
Speaker 1: the Pilgrims come here in the context of Thanksgiving. What
1:34:52
Speaker 1: were they doing. They were leaving impression they can come
1:34:55
Speaker 1: here and you know, just have to deal with the elements,
1:34:58
Speaker 1: deal with living off of the land. People whom may
1:35:00
Speaker 1: have been ill prepared for. That went in pretty much
1:35:03
Speaker 1: eyes wide open. We are willing to face potential death
1:35:06
Speaker 1: and unknown environment. We don't know what the weather's necessarily
1:35:09
Speaker 1: going to be a whike, but if it's on a
1:35:10
Speaker 1: parallel the same as Britain, then we're probably gonna experience
1:35:13
Speaker 1: at least fog and rain. Now you're gonna get ice, cold,
1:35:16
Speaker 1: snow and sleet and ah. The perils of living in
1:35:19
Speaker 1: the middle of wilderness before and organized society developed I
1:35:23
Speaker 1: cannot even imagine. But you know what it was worth
1:35:28
Speaker 1: the freedom they fled. Of course, there wasn't a social
1:35:31
Speaker 1: welfare safety net to hook onto when they got here.
1:35:35
Speaker 1: Draw your own conclusions from that, but you know, we've
1:35:38
Speaker 1: got see an opportunity that she took as well. I
1:35:42
Speaker 1: don't know how she got out of Chinese Communist Party China.
1:35:46
Speaker 1: Going to ask her about that at eight forty five.
1:35:48
Speaker 1: But again, empower You America dot Org to register for
1:35:50
Speaker 1: that seminar market on your calendar. I'd like to see
1:35:52
Speaker 1: a real strong showing for her this evening. Again, it's
1:35:55
Speaker 1: I know Wednesday's not a normal night for empower you
1:35:58
Speaker 1: so well. Here from Congressman Thomas Massey after the top
1:36:02
Speaker 1: of the air news, what does it mean now that
1:36:03
Speaker 1: the Epstein file disclosure vote is on record, It's gonna
1:36:07
Speaker 1: land on Donald Trump's desk, maybe as early as today.
1:36:10
Speaker 1: We'll hear from Massey about that. Plus Judge Jennita Polaitano
1:36:13
Speaker 1: at eight thirty. I'll be right back.
1:36:15
Speaker 3: Today's top headlines coming up here.
1:36:18
Speaker 1: These days, you need to keep an open mind. On
1:36:25
Speaker 1: fifty five krc D talkstation. Oh five fifty five krc
1:36:32
Speaker 1: DE Talk station and a very very happy Wednesday, Extra
1:36:37
Speaker 1: special Wednesday when you get Congressman Thomas Massey followed by
1:36:40
Speaker 1: Judge Ennitor Politano, and then you pile on g Van
1:36:42
Speaker 1: Fleet author of Mao's America. This is a great hour
1:36:46
Speaker 1: of power in fifty five KRC Morning Show. Welcome back,
1:36:48
Speaker 1: Congressman Massy. I always enjoy having you on the program,
1:36:51
Speaker 1: and I certainly appreciate your willingness to talk with my
1:36:53
Speaker 1: listeners and me.
1:36:55
Speaker 6: It's a very special day in Washington, DC. I gotta
1:37:00
Speaker 6: I've been fighting for five months against the Speaker of
1:37:04
Speaker 6: the House, the President of the United States, the FBI director,
1:37:08
Speaker 6: the Attorney General, basically every power that's in Washington, DC
1:37:14
Speaker 6: was trying to stop me. And yesterday I succeeded is
1:37:18
Speaker 6: passing a bill in the House of Representatives to release
1:37:20
Speaker 6: the Epstein files. And the vote was four hundred and
1:37:23
Speaker 6: twenty seven to.
1:37:24
Speaker 1: One plus unanimous consent to release it out of the sentence.
1:37:28
Speaker 1: This is going through. This is a done deal.
1:37:31
Speaker 6: Yeah, for the for the process nerds. The Senate usually
1:37:36
Speaker 6: takes three days to even bring up a bill on
1:37:38
Speaker 6: the calendar. They passed our bill before it even got
1:37:43
Speaker 6: to the Senate. They didn't even have our bill yet.
1:37:47
Speaker 6: In fact, they'll get it at ten am this morning,
1:37:49
Speaker 6: but they've already voted and agreed that as soon as
1:37:52
Speaker 6: it's there, it's passed. I've never seen the Senate work
1:37:57
Speaker 6: so fast that they work like give time to pass
1:38:01
Speaker 6: the bill for three days or a year.
1:38:05
Speaker 1: Well, I know there was some discussions, there might be
1:38:07
Speaker 1: some amendments over in the Senate to deal with at
1:38:09
Speaker 1: least a concern raised by one member of the House.
1:38:12
Speaker 1: But beyond that, clearly there are going to be no amendments.
1:38:15
Speaker 1: It is moving through it at light speed, which, as
1:38:17
Speaker 1: you point out, never happens. The burning question for America
1:38:21
Speaker 1: Congressman Thomas Massy does this mean you and Donald Trump
1:38:23
Speaker 1: will now be playing nicely together since you obviously were
1:38:26
Speaker 1: on the right side of this given the overwhelming bipartisan approval,
1:38:30
Speaker 1: I mean almost unanimous across the board approval.
1:38:34
Speaker 6: Well, you know, somebody asked, why did he eventually come
1:38:38
Speaker 6: over to my side on this bill because he did
1:38:42
Speaker 6: at the last minute endorse its passage, and I said,
1:38:45
Speaker 6: he got tired of me winning.
1:38:46
Speaker 1: I saw that.
1:38:49
Speaker 6: There. I mean, there were Brian, there were so many
1:38:54
Speaker 6: last minute efforts to kill this thing once we got
1:38:58
Speaker 6: two hundred and eighteen signatures that I had to stay
1:39:02
Speaker 6: on my toes every second. They invited Lauren Bobert, one
1:39:07
Speaker 6: of the co signers that had to sign it to
1:39:10
Speaker 6: get me to two eighteen. In the hour before we
1:39:13
Speaker 6: picked up the two hundred and eighteenth co signer, they
1:39:17
Speaker 6: had her over at the White House in the situation
1:39:19
Speaker 6: with the Attorney Journal and the FBI director trying to
1:39:23
Speaker 6: get her to take her name off of the discharge petition,
1:39:27
Speaker 6: which was the vehicle I used to force the vote.
1:39:31
Speaker 6: And then after they did that, you know they can
1:39:34
Speaker 6: play with the rules.
1:39:36
Speaker 3: It was.
1:39:36
Speaker 6: It was quite a delicate dance. They instead of passing
1:39:40
Speaker 6: my bill as I had intended, they decided to bring
1:39:45
Speaker 6: it up under a suspension of the rules. I know,
1:39:47
Speaker 6: I'm getting in the weeds here, but they were going
1:39:51
Speaker 6: to try. The Speaker Johnson wanted to amend it, but
1:39:55
Speaker 6: there were and he wanted to put a loophole in
1:39:57
Speaker 6: there that would have effectively killed the bill. He was
1:40:03
Speaker 6: saying that they needed to protect the people in the
1:40:08
Speaker 6: Epstein files that would maybe be embarrassed by these disclosures. Well,
1:40:17
Speaker 6: if you protect everybody who's going to be embarrassed by
1:40:19
Speaker 6: the disclosures, you're also going to protect the rapists and
1:40:22
Speaker 6: the pedophiles, because they're going to be embarrassed too. He
1:40:25
Speaker 6: was so he wanted this loophole in there that said
1:40:29
Speaker 6: if there's no if there's not a credible conviction or
1:40:33
Speaker 6: something or investigation, here's here's what they wanted. Ultimately, they
1:40:38
Speaker 6: want to hold the files back because of active ongoing investigation,
1:40:41
Speaker 6: and they don't want to release anybody's name unless there's
1:40:44
Speaker 6: a legitimate investigation of them. Expectively, they would have locked
1:40:48
Speaker 6: the whole thing up, but Speaker Johnson lost control of
1:40:50
Speaker 6: the House yesterday, so he had to let the bill pass.
1:40:54
Speaker 6: And then he was saying, the Senate will amend this,
1:40:57
Speaker 6: the Senate will amend this, They'll fix Nope, and fun
1:41:02
Speaker 6: and Schumer were like, ah, we ain't touching this thing.
1:41:05
Speaker 6: Nobody's coming to a microphone to talk about this. We
1:41:09
Speaker 6: saw you fumble this thing for five months and we're
1:41:12
Speaker 6: just going to go ahead and pass it before it
1:41:14
Speaker 6: gets here.
1:41:15
Speaker 3: Well, that's what they did in the.
1:41:16
Speaker 6: Senate, and the Speaker is just he is just apoplectic
1:41:19
Speaker 6: today that this bill passed and he couldn't get the
1:41:22
Speaker 6: Senate to do his dirty work.
1:41:24
Speaker 1: Okay, we got to do a real brief history on this.
1:41:27
Speaker 1: Democrats were in control under the Biden administration. They had
1:41:29
Speaker 1: all the opportunity of the world to release these documents,
1:41:31
Speaker 1: which has been in a pile someplace. They didn't lift
1:41:34
Speaker 1: a finger to do it. Donald Trump gets elected, he
1:41:36
Speaker 1: had campaigned on releasing the documents, said he would release
1:41:38
Speaker 1: them and then lo and behold. As soon as he
1:41:40
Speaker 1: gets elected, He's like, well, no, we're not going to
1:41:43
Speaker 1: do that. The DJ looked at him as there's nothing there.
1:41:46
Speaker 1: There is no Epstein black book. So the position was
1:41:48
Speaker 1: a one eighty. And what puzzled everybody, me included, I
1:41:52
Speaker 1: know it puzzled you. Why the one eighty? Why this
1:41:55
Speaker 1: strong opposition in the face of prior promises to release
1:42:00
Speaker 1: What is behind all of this? Congressman Thomas Massey.
1:42:05
Speaker 6: Well, there's only one explanation. They all got elected and
1:42:09
Speaker 6: they looked at these files and they old, dear Lord,
1:42:12
Speaker 6: we can't let this get out. And even as recently
1:42:18
Speaker 6: as a few weeks ago, Cash Betel was testifying that
1:42:21
Speaker 6: there was only one sexual predator and that was Jeffrey Epstein.
1:42:26
Speaker 6: Well the problem here, Brian, is there a thousand victims.
1:42:30
Speaker 6: This thing was so widespread and so pervasive and went
1:42:33
Speaker 6: on so long that this sex trafficking ring accumulated a
1:42:38
Speaker 6: thousand victims, and we had We've had two dozen of
1:42:41
Speaker 6: them come to Congress rocann and I gave them a form.
1:42:46
Speaker 6: We had a press conference, the biggest press conference that
1:42:49
Speaker 6: anybody can remember in Washington, DC. We did that a
1:42:53
Speaker 6: couple months ago, and then we did one yesterday again
1:42:57
Speaker 6: with these survivors. And they can't deny that there are
1:43:03
Speaker 6: other men who committed these crimes, because the survivors know
1:43:06
Speaker 6: there are other men. Yeah, so this is it's just
1:43:12
Speaker 6: a great day. I spent some time with the survivors.
1:43:16
Speaker 6: They as they said, this is the first time in
1:43:19
Speaker 6: a long time, they've had tears of joy.
1:43:22
Speaker 3: They really.
1:43:24
Speaker 6: Were so emotional because I mean, they brought pictures of
1:43:29
Speaker 6: themselves when they were fourteen when they were molested and
1:43:32
Speaker 6: trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein. Because you know, they're older now.
1:43:36
Speaker 6: They have daughters that are fourteen now. These women do,
1:43:40
Speaker 6: so they brought pictures to our press conference to humanize
1:43:44
Speaker 6: and for people to realize this guy was a pedophile.
1:43:47
Speaker 6: It wasn't that he liked younger women. He liked girls
1:43:52
Speaker 6: that were not young women.
1:43:55
Speaker 3: He was a predator on them, clearly, and.
1:44:00
Speaker 6: Then he trafficked and then he trafficked them even even
1:44:04
Speaker 6: when they became an age of consent. He farmed them
1:44:08
Speaker 6: out to other men. I mean, it's so disgusting. And
1:44:11
Speaker 6: then he used their shame and guilt and fear to
1:44:16
Speaker 6: get fourteen year olds to recruit other fourteen year olds.
1:44:19
Speaker 1: Well, you know, my listening audience, I'd like to hope
1:44:22
Speaker 1: is along the same lines as I am. I don't
1:44:24
Speaker 1: care if it's a Republican, a democratic, socialist, and independent.
1:44:27
Speaker 1: If you're engaged in molesting children, you should be held accountable.
1:44:30
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm sorry, sucks to be you. If you,
1:44:32
Speaker 1: you know, spent time with Epstein, if you really didn't
1:44:35
Speaker 1: molest them, but you hung out with them a lot,
1:44:37
Speaker 1: you got advice from him. Sorry, sucks to you. You're
1:44:39
Speaker 1: a public figure, you're outed. You can deal with it.
1:44:41
Speaker 1: You've got a bully pulpit in a form you can say, yeah,
1:44:44
Speaker 1: I did talk to him, Yeah we exchange text or emails,
1:44:46
Speaker 1: but I had nothing to do with that. Fine, do
1:44:48
Speaker 1: what everybody else has to do. Go out and defend
1:44:50
Speaker 1: yourself like we're all stuck with doing. But it still
1:44:52
Speaker 1: doesn't answer the question of why did they In the
1:44:55
Speaker 1: face of what you're saying out loud, the victims are
1:44:58
Speaker 1: right there, we know all that. Yeah, why do they
1:45:02
Speaker 1: want to hide it?
1:45:02
Speaker 5: Right?
1:45:03
Speaker 6: And I'm sorry if you're embarrassed by the release of
1:45:05
Speaker 6: these files, maybe you shouldn't got on a private jet
1:45:08
Speaker 6: and gone to his rape island.
1:45:09
Speaker 3: There you go.
1:45:10
Speaker 1: I agree, But are there are the Democrats on this list?
1:45:14
Speaker 1: Because again they mean they were all about disclosing them
1:45:18
Speaker 1: as soon as Trump got elected, and I see some
1:45:20
Speaker 1: of the more salacious deals involving Democrats, so they knew
1:45:23
Speaker 1: what they were getting into.
1:45:26
Speaker 6: Well, I think we're past the era of Bill Clinton
1:45:31
Speaker 6: and Hillary Clinton, like it took with Biden now gone
1:45:36
Speaker 6: and Hillary Clinton not really in the picture and Bill
1:45:39
Speaker 6: Clinton faded out. I think the Democrats were willing to
1:45:43
Speaker 6: do the Epstein stuff now they know there's Democrats in there.
1:45:47
Speaker 6: But here's the reality. There were politicians and there will
1:45:51
Speaker 6: be politicians and princes we know, and ambassadors, political people,
1:45:57
Speaker 6: but there are billionaires in these files, and they transcend parties.
1:46:02
Speaker 6: The billionaires go look at their donation record, like the
1:46:06
Speaker 6: billionaires running running a candidate against me in Kentucky right now,
1:46:11
Speaker 6: they do fundraisers for Chuck Schumer. They max donate to
1:46:14
Speaker 6: Donald Trump, they give to Liz Cheney and then they
1:46:19
Speaker 6: call them. They start a super pack called MAGA. Look,
1:46:22
Speaker 6: they have no party, they have no ideology, they have
1:46:25
Speaker 6: no allegiance. What they have is money, and they assume
1:46:28
Speaker 6: they can buy a judge, they can buy a politician,
1:46:31
Speaker 6: they can buy a police department, or they can buy
1:46:34
Speaker 6: off victims and get record sealed. Because they have so
1:46:38
Speaker 6: much money, they're just used to operating above the law.
1:46:41
Speaker 6: They don't care if the president's got an R or
1:46:44
Speaker 6: a D next to his name. And these are the
1:46:47
Speaker 6: people that.
1:46:47
Speaker 3: Need to be brought to justice, Yes they do.
1:46:50
Speaker 1: Let's pause. We'll bring Congressman Thomas Massey back. It's eight
1:46:53
Speaker 1: fifteen right now. If if you have KCD talk station
1:46:55
Speaker 1: is something you really need to do. This is a
1:46:57
Speaker 1: time of year. The talk station eight nineteen Here fifty
1:47:02
Speaker 1: five KRC the talk station by Thoma Smith, Congressman Thomas
1:47:04
Speaker 1: Massey follow by Judge Enna Politano. Uh okay, real quick,
1:47:08
Speaker 1: Congressman Messy, you had mentioned I thought it was unusual.
1:47:11
Speaker 1: So we go through this whole Epstein thing. We have
1:47:14
Speaker 1: handful of documents, release, we get a little more documents release.
1:47:17
Speaker 1: Justice Department says there's nothing there. Democrats come out and
1:47:20
Speaker 1: release a couple of emails suggesting Donald Trump was involved
1:47:23
Speaker 1: and knew about the girls, and blah blah blah, blah blah.
1:47:25
Speaker 1: And then the Republicans come out, released twenty thousand pages.
1:47:28
Speaker 1: And I keep thinking to myself, what's the point of
1:47:30
Speaker 1: this exercise voting to release the documents? Everyone seems to
1:47:33
Speaker 1: have them, and they seem to magically pop up at
1:47:35
Speaker 1: some politically opportune time. Have you seen the documents, because
1:47:41
Speaker 1: you mentioned they have seen them earlier in our conversation
1:47:44
Speaker 1: this morning. Have you seen the documents that are subject
1:47:47
Speaker 1: to this soon to be passed law.
1:47:51
Speaker 6: I have not, but I have particular insight into those documents,
1:47:55
Speaker 6: and let me tell you why. But here's the thing.
1:47:59
Speaker 6: Don't get distracted. They say, we've released ten thousand documents,
1:48:02
Speaker 6: thirty thousand documents. We're going to release another fifty thousand documents.
1:48:06
Speaker 6: What they have failed to do so far is to
1:48:08
Speaker 6: release a single name.
1:48:10
Speaker 12: Like we know there are.
1:48:12
Speaker 6: Dozens of men who who took advantage of these women,
1:48:16
Speaker 6: raped them, participate in sex trafficking, and not a single
1:48:20
Speaker 6: name has come out. So they are carefully what they're doing.
1:48:24
Speaker 6: They are dipping a bucket in the well and bringing
1:48:27
Speaker 6: up the bucket and looking through the bucket. My bill says,
1:48:30
Speaker 6: give us the entire well. We want everything in the well. Now,
1:48:34
Speaker 6: what's the insight that I have into those documents? It
1:48:40
Speaker 6: comes from the survivors. The survivors got together. Now they
1:48:44
Speaker 6: are like a thousand victims, okay, or survivors. Some have
1:48:50
Speaker 6: passed away, but they you, dozen of them got together,
1:48:56
Speaker 6: compared notes and came up with at least twenty names
1:48:59
Speaker 6: that know they've given to the FBI. Now, the FBI
1:49:03
Speaker 6: doesn't just forget. When you give somebody a name, they
1:49:06
Speaker 6: write it down in a form called an FD three
1:49:08
Speaker 6: oh two. That's when they interview a witness. And so
1:49:12
Speaker 6: those names are in those FD three oh twos, at
1:49:16
Speaker 6: least twenty names. And I asked Cash Pattel in a hearing,
1:49:20
Speaker 6: have you looked at the three oh two files? And
1:49:22
Speaker 6: he admitted to me that he hadn't. And they said, well, then,
1:49:25
Speaker 6: how can you testify today that there are no other
1:49:28
Speaker 6: men implicated? He said, because I trust the people that
1:49:33
Speaker 6: work for me. Hold on a second, these are people
1:49:36
Speaker 6: that have been there twenty years. We don't trust any
1:49:39
Speaker 6: of them. We didn't. We didn't elect Trump because we
1:49:42
Speaker 6: trusted the deep state. We elected Trump because we don't
1:49:45
Speaker 6: trust the deep state. And Trump put Cash Battel and
1:49:48
Speaker 6: Dan Bongino in there because they said that would go
1:49:51
Speaker 6: after the deep state. And now they say they trust
1:49:53
Speaker 6: the guys that have already been working on this for
1:49:56
Speaker 6: you know, two decades. No, so so be careful when
1:50:02
Speaker 6: they say we've released ten thousand or twenty thousand. Oh,
1:50:05
Speaker 6: when they say, oh, we found Trump's and this is
1:50:07
Speaker 6: not about Trump, everybody, the Dems try to make it
1:50:10
Speaker 6: about Trump, the Republicans try to make it about Trump's innocent,
1:50:13
Speaker 6: and Trump tries to make it about Trump. Oh, it's
1:50:16
Speaker 6: a hoax. It's not about Trump. It's about other rich
1:50:20
Speaker 6: and powerful men who are criminally implicated to say in
1:50:23
Speaker 6: these files.
1:50:24
Speaker 1: And you may have just pointed out the obvious reason
1:50:27
Speaker 1: why Cash Mattel, the Democrats or the Republicans and others
1:50:31
Speaker 1: maybe trying to protect what little reputation the FBI has
1:50:35
Speaker 1: at this point, because if those investigative files revealed that
1:50:39
Speaker 1: they talked to these men and there was some substance
1:50:41
Speaker 1: or credibility in connection with what the witnesses said, then
1:50:44
Speaker 1: there should have been some follow up by the FBI
1:50:46
Speaker 1: to go after these folks for molesting, raping underage girls.
1:50:52
Speaker 6: Correct included in these files. When you take them as
1:50:55
Speaker 6: a whole, you're going to find out that our justice
1:50:57
Speaker 6: system is broken and the FBI her up. That's what
1:51:00
Speaker 6: you're going to find out. Also going to find out
1:51:03
Speaker 6: Jeffrey Epsteam was connected to the CIA and to Israeli intelligence.
1:51:09
Speaker 6: That's what else you're going to find out. Even the
1:51:11
Speaker 6: Speaker of the House in one of these rants yesterday
1:51:14
Speaker 6: admitted as much. He said, this was going to affect
1:51:17
Speaker 6: national security. You know, our intelligence ANDPLA is going to
1:51:21
Speaker 6: be exposed. It's fake. Wait hold on there, you're now
1:51:25
Speaker 6: you're supporting my my assertion me to Speaker Johnson that
1:51:31
Speaker 6: the intelligence agencies are implicated by a release of these files,
1:51:35
Speaker 6: which is true. By the way, before before we run
1:51:38
Speaker 6: out of time, I know most of your listeners are
1:51:41
Speaker 6: in a car and they're driving. They're not going to
1:51:43
Speaker 6: have time to look at this. But there is information
1:51:46
Speaker 6: coming about coming out about the January sixth pipe bomber. Oh,
1:51:50
Speaker 6: and it's pretty explosive. I went very deep into this.
1:51:55
Speaker 6: I researched it, I've interviewed witnesses, I've asked Chris for
1:52:00
Speaker 6: Ray about the pipe bomber. I asked the FBI in
1:52:03
Speaker 6: charge of the DC Field office about this investigation. We've
1:52:06
Speaker 6: got troves of documents. We wrote a report on this,
1:52:09
Speaker 6: but new information just came out today, well this week
1:52:13
Speaker 6: and then last week. You're remember the name Steve Baker
1:52:18
Speaker 6: and the Blaze and go look up what he's put
1:52:21
Speaker 6: out this week. Yes, it's a big deal.
1:52:25
Speaker 1: That's the one that it suggested it was an FBI agent,
1:52:28
Speaker 1: or rather Capitol police officer that dropped off the bombs
1:52:31
Speaker 1: at the Republican and Democrat headquarters.
1:52:34
Speaker 3: Yes, and that's the.
1:52:37
Speaker 1: Event that closed Capitol Hill. The bomb discovery was what
1:52:41
Speaker 1: it wasn't the drunken fraternity party that was going on.
1:52:44
Speaker 1: As I understand it, Congressman Masters.
1:52:47
Speaker 6: The pipe bomb thing was a ruse to distract police
1:52:51
Speaker 6: away from the Capitol so that would be easier to
1:52:53
Speaker 6: breach the Capitol. And it worked, and it worked.
1:52:56
Speaker 12: It blocked.
1:52:58
Speaker 6: They wanted more bicycle racks to come over to the Capitol,
1:53:01
Speaker 6: but where they stored them was on the other side
1:53:03
Speaker 6: of where the pipe bomb was discovered, and so the
1:53:05
Speaker 6: roads were closed down. They couldn't get him over there.
1:53:08
Speaker 6: So did some degree it worked. But what you're going
1:53:11
Speaker 6: to find out when you see So Steve Baker put
1:53:15
Speaker 6: out an article a couple of weeks ago and he
1:53:19
Speaker 6: postulated that it was the Capitol Hill police officer who
1:53:23
Speaker 6: now works at the CIA who placed the pipe bombs.
1:53:27
Speaker 6: But I think his new information, which is video. He
1:53:31
Speaker 6: went through and poured through thousands of hours of video
1:53:33
Speaker 6: and found new information about the pipe bomber and the
1:53:37
Speaker 6: people who discovered the pipe bombs. It looks really fishy.
1:53:41
Speaker 6: They knew exactly where to go to find the pipe bombs,
1:53:45
Speaker 6: and we found out there's a third location of pipe bombs.
1:53:49
Speaker 6: We always assumed there were two. We found out there
1:53:52
Speaker 6: was a third where the pipe bomber lingered for over
1:53:55
Speaker 6: a minute and tried to place the pipe bomb. It
1:53:57
Speaker 6: looks like, well, the cops the next day went exactly
1:54:00
Speaker 6: to that spot and looked in that bush to try
1:54:02
Speaker 6: and find a pipe bob There's no way they could
1:54:04
Speaker 6: have seen the video from the night before, so it's
1:54:07
Speaker 6: almost as if there was a map of where the
1:54:10
Speaker 6: pipe bombs were going to be and a pipe bomber
1:54:13
Speaker 6: didn't get the third pipe bomb placed, but the cops
1:54:16
Speaker 6: went and looked where the third pipe bomb was supposed
1:54:19
Speaker 6: to be. And it's all on video, all.
1:54:21
Speaker 1: On video, and ultimately all this done presumably for the
1:54:24
Speaker 1: purpose of undermining Donald Trump, coordinated behind the scenes, coordinated.
1:54:31
Speaker 6: Not just Donald Trump, but an entire movement of people, yes,
1:54:36
Speaker 6: behind Donald Trump, to make the Republicans look like insane
1:54:42
Speaker 6: people that wanted to overthrow the government.
1:54:44
Speaker 1: Bombs and whatnot, well, and insane FBI agents who were
1:54:49
Speaker 1: egging people on in the crowd they're breaking, breached the
1:54:51
Speaker 1: Capitol and throw out the bike racks, et cetera. This
1:54:54
Speaker 1: has got huge legs in the meantime, blooming in the background.
1:54:56
Speaker 1: Congressman Massy the whole Arctic Frost thing, which looks he's
1:55:00
Speaker 1: terrible as well, among others.
1:55:03
Speaker 6: Did you know that the Senators put half a million
1:55:06
Speaker 6: dollars each for themselves who were the subject of Arctic
1:55:08
Speaker 6: Cross so that they can get payouts from being spied
1:55:11
Speaker 6: on instead of fixing the law. They put that in
1:55:14
Speaker 6: the CR that passed last week. And people are like,
1:55:18
Speaker 6: why did you vote for the CR Matthew, why didn't
1:55:20
Speaker 6: you want to open the government. Because Lindsey Graham and
1:55:22
Speaker 6: seven other Republicans in the Senate just gave themselves half
1:55:25
Speaker 6: a million dollars. You and I wouldn't have standing or
1:55:29
Speaker 6: able to prove damages. They just went ahead and changed
1:55:31
Speaker 6: the laws. Yes, eight people have standing and can get
1:55:35
Speaker 6: half a million dollars in damages for being spied on.
1:55:38
Speaker 1: Oh self dealing. It's fully revealed, boy, Congressman Thomas Massey,
1:55:43
Speaker 1: which we had longer to talk, I knew. Judge Jenital
1:55:45
Speaker 1: Paulton is waiting in the wings, one of your favorite fans. Congratulations,
1:55:49
Speaker 1: congratulations on stick to your guns in the face of
1:55:52
Speaker 1: all that opposition. Congressman Massy. That's why we love you
1:55:55
Speaker 1: so much. Keep up the great work. I'll look forward
1:55:56
Speaker 1: to having you back on as soon as possible. And
1:55:59
Speaker 1: best wishes from my entire listening audience, my family, particularly
1:56:02

1:56:05
Speaker 1: hope you enjoy that and as you move forward in

Speaker 1: Please do, please do. I'm looking forward to meeting or
1:56:14
Speaker 1: someday eight twenty eight. Judge Entitapolitano, he's waiting in the wings.
1:56:18
Speaker 1: He's right there. We'll have him on just a moment
1:56:20
Speaker 1: after I mentioned Zimmer heating and air conditioning the best
1:56:22
Speaker 1: in the business.
1:56:23
Speaker 16: I'm getting better through Westchester, still heavy through the lock
1:56:26
Speaker 16: when split northbound four seventy one backs up past Grand
1:56:30
Speaker 16: and there's a wreck on the ramp from Kellogg now
1:56:32
Speaker 16: westbound two seventy five. Then slow onto the bridge thanks
1:56:36
Speaker 16: to the new lane configuration coming up next. Ryan talks
1:56:40
Speaker 16: to the latest defensive end for the Bengals. I it's
1:56:43
Speaker 16: certainly better than what we have on the field right now,
1:56:47
Speaker 16: and brings up an interesting twist for this weekend's game,
1:56:51
Speaker 16: the Judge versus the Patriots. Chuck Ingram on fifty five
1:56:56
Speaker 16: krs the talk station.
1:57:00
Speaker 1: In pett about KRCD talk station, No insult to Judge
1:57:03
Speaker 1: of Polatana, but things have gotten so bad that we
1:57:05
Speaker 1: need the judge defensive end.
1:57:12
Speaker 10: Unbelievable.
1:57:13
Speaker 1: That a laughter, he said me, Judge of Polatana. But
1:57:15
Speaker 1: it may be a reflection of just how bad things
1:57:17
Speaker 1: are for the Bengels, which is an accurate statement. Florida Almighty.
1:57:21
Speaker 10: It wasn't that long ago when they were flying high
1:57:25
Speaker 10: and Joe Burrow was the talk not just of Cincinnati,
1:57:29
Speaker 10: but of the entire sports world.
1:57:31
Speaker 1: Yeah. Glass jaw turf toe Burrow. I feel badly for
1:57:34
Speaker 1: the poor guy, but every time he gets up from
1:57:36
Speaker 1: an injury, he ends up getting another injury. I'm not
1:57:38
Speaker 1: sure we got in a good ro o I on
1:57:39
Speaker 1: that investment, but we'll hope springs eternal for the insane Bengals.
1:57:43
Speaker 1: Judge of Polatana, We'll keep see what happens. I obviously
1:57:48
Speaker 1: did you hear. I was just talking to Congressman A.
1:57:52
Speaker 1: Massy about these Epstein files, and I kept, you know,
1:57:55
Speaker 1: why were they so just insistent on not releasing these?
1:57:59
Speaker 1: And as it turns out, it probably is because the
1:58:01
Speaker 1: FBI is going to be revealed for the incompetent organization
1:58:04
Speaker 1: that it may be, or the corrupt one. A lot
1:58:07
Speaker 1: of women claim to have been molested as fourteen to
1:58:10
Speaker 1: fifteen year olds. He's got hundreds of them. There were
1:58:12
Speaker 1: a thousand of them reportedly involved in this sexual trafficking
1:58:15
Speaker 1: with Epstein. Obviously it wasn't just Epstein who was engaging
1:58:18
Speaker 1: in the sexual conduct. There are a lot of others
1:58:21
Speaker 1: swirling about his network of friends, many of whom these
1:58:25
Speaker 1: women have confirmed did indeed molest them. Congress Massy's looking
1:58:29
Speaker 1: for some justice for those folks. But cash Betel said, Oh,
1:58:32
Speaker 1: there's nothing there, But he didn't even bother a looking
1:58:33
Speaker 1: at the FBI investigative files. These women came forward, they
1:58:37
Speaker 1: recorded the information, yet there were no criminal prosecutions that
1:58:41
Speaker 1: came about from this, suggesting that the more connected you are,
1:58:44
Speaker 1: the higher up you are in the political echelon, the
1:58:47
Speaker 1: less likely is you're going to be held accountable for
1:58:49
Speaker 1: your crimes.
1:58:51
Speaker 6: You know.
1:58:52
Speaker 10: Professor Alan Dershowitz was Epstein's lawyer who negotiated the most
1:58:59
Speaker 10: fantastic sweetheart plea agreement which resulted in either weekends only
1:59:08
Speaker 10: or weekdays only I forget, which in a low level
1:59:13
Speaker 10: confinement environment for thirteen months, notwithstanding the vast number of
1:59:20
Speaker 10: underage victims that were involved. This was negotiated by the
1:59:25
Speaker 10: then US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, which
1:59:28
Speaker 10: includes where Epstein was living at the time, who eventually
1:59:32
Speaker 10: became the Secretary of Labor in the first Trump administration,
1:59:35
Speaker 10: Alexander Acosta. When Acosta was interrogated under oath about this
1:59:41
Speaker 10: by the House Judiciary Committee, he insisted that no one
1:59:46
Speaker 10: ever told him that Epstein was involved in intel and
1:59:51
Speaker 10: therefore was protected, So I don't know who's being truthful here,
1:59:56
Speaker 10: but I agree.
1:59:57
Speaker 3: Obviously with what you said.
2:00:00
Speaker 10: That is off to the extraordinary personal courage of our
2:00:05
Speaker 10: dear friend, Congressman Thomas Massey, and my congratulations to him
2:00:09
Speaker 10: on his beginning his new life. But back to his
2:00:12
Speaker 10: political life. You know, missus Abelson can throw all the
2:00:15
Speaker 10: cats you want at then nobody that's running against him.
2:00:19
Speaker 10: Thomas Massey is not only the personification of fidelity the Constitution,
2:00:24
Speaker 10: he's the personification of personal courage and intellectual honesty. And
2:00:29
Speaker 10: I'm sure his constituents will recognize that. And he has
2:00:32
Speaker 10: said to you, me and others that there are names
2:00:37
Speaker 10: in there being protected, and some of those names are
2:00:40
Speaker 10: probably FBI agents. So the FBI wants to be protected,
2:00:44
Speaker 10: the Intel people with whom Epstein was involved, Cia Massad,
2:00:49
Speaker 10: and probably six that's the British want to be protected.
2:00:54
Speaker 10: And Congressman Massey also said yesterday or the day before,
2:00:59
Speaker 10: and I was able to hear your entire interview with
2:01:03
Speaker 10: him because of another commitment I had here that he
2:01:05
Speaker 10: expects some resistance not from the President, but from the
2:01:09
Speaker 10: powers that be in the DOJ excuses for not revealing
2:01:14
Speaker 10: what they don't want to reveal. I mean people could
2:01:18
Speaker 10: lose their careers over what is about to be revealed.
2:01:22
Speaker 10: Think of how mightily they will struggle to prevent it
2:01:25
Speaker 10: from coming out.
2:01:26
Speaker 1: Amen. But you know what if they deserve to lose
2:01:29
Speaker 1: their careers for what they have done untoward criminal conduct,
2:01:32
Speaker 1: perhaps sweeping information under the rug in the name of
2:01:34
Speaker 1: protecting other people, candidly, they deserve to lose their.
2:01:38
Speaker 10: Agreed, agreed, agreed, agreed. Brian, I'm sorry my answer was
2:01:41
Speaker 10: so long. This case, as Alice in Wonderland once said,
2:01:45
Speaker 10: gets curiouser and curious their every time.
2:01:48
Speaker 3: You look at it.
2:01:50
Speaker 1: And it is and it will continue to be because
2:01:53
Speaker 1: you know, the points you just made are going to
2:01:55
Speaker 1: result in the Department of Justice redacting almost everything in
2:01:59
Speaker 1: the first round of prituction, and then they're going to
2:02:01
Speaker 1: have to explain the redactions according to the law that's
2:02:03
Speaker 1: been passed or will soon be passed and or signed
2:02:05
Speaker 1: into law by the Trump by Trump. But that they're
2:02:07
Speaker 1: going to be a fight over those reactions and other
2:02:10
Speaker 1: undisclosed information as we move forward. So I don't think
2:02:13
Speaker 1: the Fat Lady has yet sung on the whole issue yet.
2:02:16
Speaker 10: I got to point out one other piece of nonsense
2:02:19
Speaker 10: that the DOJ will use. Last week, the President ordered
2:02:23
Speaker 10: the DOJ to investigate Democrats that he believes were involved
2:02:28
Speaker 10: with Epstein. Well, this raises two interesting issues. One, the
2:02:32
Speaker 10: DOJ is absolutely prohibited from investigating anyone based upon their
2:02:37
Speaker 10: political affiliation, right And two Epstein's been dead since twenty nineteen,
2:02:44
Speaker 10: that is six years ago, that is outside the statute
2:02:49
Speaker 10: of limitations of five years. The DOJ is prohibited if
2:02:52
Speaker 10: I'm investigating anybody that they can't prosecute, and that nobody
2:02:56
Speaker 10: can be prosecuted after the statute limitations has expired. So
2:03:00
Speaker 10: this excuse we're investigating people and therefore we can't call
2:03:05
Speaker 10: of up our file is a meaningless excuse, and I
2:03:08
Speaker 10: hope the Congress sees right through it.
2:03:10
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up, because, honestly, Jesseph Paul Tunney,
2:03:13
Speaker 1: you're the first person to sort of raise the spector
2:03:15
Speaker 1: of the Statute of limitations and that sort of demands,
2:03:18
Speaker 1: asking is there a statute limitations in connection with being
2:03:21
Speaker 1: raped as a minor. For the women who really are
2:03:24
Speaker 1: demanding justice at this point, late stage in the game,
2:03:27
Speaker 1: it may be they can they hope for any justice
2:03:29
Speaker 1: if names are reviewed.
2:03:31
Speaker 10: They can hope for civil litigation, but not for criminal prosecution.
2:03:36
Speaker 1: Well, civil litigation has a way of, at least financially,
2:03:41
Speaker 1: trying to unring or undo the bell of harm that's
2:03:44
Speaker 1: been done to them, and it certainly never does.
2:03:46
Speaker 10: There were many civil cases. Two lawyers that are friends
2:03:50
Speaker 10: of mine were involved on opposite side, David Boyce and
2:03:54
Speaker 10: Arthur I Dallas. So I don't know how those litigations
2:03:58
Speaker 10: ended up. I don't know the the size of the
2:04:01
Speaker 10: epstein the state. The man was very wealthy. I don't
2:04:04
Speaker 10: even know how he raised how he acquired his wealth?
2:04:06
Speaker 10: Was that really blackmail? Who well knows?
2:04:09
Speaker 3: Well?
2:04:11
Speaker 1: How does one become a CIA operative and foremant? How
2:04:14
Speaker 1: does one become connected so much with all of these
2:04:17
Speaker 1: wealthy and extremely influential people. How is it a memor
2:04:20
Speaker 1: of Congress is getting questions fed from him real time
2:04:25
Speaker 1: during a hearing. I just find the whole thing to
2:04:28
Speaker 1: be just bizarre.
2:04:29
Speaker 3: You'r honor.
2:04:29
Speaker 1: I hopefully the answer will come with the release of
2:04:32
Speaker 1: these documents.
2:04:33
Speaker 7: Right right that.
2:04:34
Speaker 10: Some of the documents are probably going to embarrass the president.
2:04:37
Speaker 10: I don't think there's pictures of him with his clothes off,
2:04:41
Speaker 10: but I think there are communications involving him that he
2:04:44
Speaker 10: would just assume not have to address things that he
2:04:48
Speaker 10: may have said or done thoughtlessly many years ago. I'm
2:04:52
Speaker 10: not suggesting any criminal behavior at all, but just stuff
2:04:56
Speaker 10: he would just as soon not have to deal with
2:04:58
Speaker 10: right now, in the midst of this second presidency.
2:05:01
Speaker 1: Right but stuff he's capable of managing. I'm sure he
2:05:04
Speaker 1: can provide the exculpatory information to the extent his name
2:05:07
Speaker 1: is revealed, and he could say the same thing about
2:05:09
Speaker 1: anybody else's name who pops up. If you weren't guilty
2:05:12
Speaker 1: of anything, you got a bully pulpit, you're a multi billionaire,
2:05:15
Speaker 1: you hung out with the guy, explain yourself to the
2:05:17
Speaker 1: American public and let them digest and then draw their
2:05:20
Speaker 1: own conclusions. We're all kind of stuck in that position
2:05:22
Speaker 1: of this day and age and liston.
2:05:23
Speaker 10: Epstein was very generous to his alma mater, Harvard University,
2:05:27
Speaker 10: and drew into his orbit the then president of Harvard,
2:05:32
Speaker 10: Larry Summers, who, after he resigned as the president of Harvard,
2:05:35
Speaker 10: became the Secretary of the Treasury and now is issuing
2:05:39
Speaker 10: all kinds of statements. He regrets this involvement with Epstein.
2:05:42
Speaker 10: I don't know what the involvement was. Did he just
2:05:44
Speaker 10: have dinner with the guy or he spend time on
2:05:47
Speaker 10: that island doing things that were inappropriate. I'm not suggesting
2:05:50
Speaker 10: he did. I think Larry Summers is a very smart guy.
2:05:54
Speaker 10: I listened to him all the time on another network.
2:05:57
Speaker 10: But this is the type of name that's going to
2:06:01
Speaker 10: come out, that's going to force people to make public statements.
2:06:05
Speaker 1: Finally get into the bottom of it after all this time,
2:06:07
Speaker 1: judg Enna Palatano, Judging Freedom is your podcast? Who are
2:06:10

2:06:46
Speaker 1: You are going to be engrossed in a conversation with
2:06:48
Speaker 1: g Van Fleet, the author of Mao's America, A Survivor's Warning.
2:06:52
Speaker 1: She was born in China and live through the Cultural Revolution.
2:06:54
Speaker 1: Actually got sent to work in the countryside at age
2:06:57
Speaker 1: sixteen for what they called re education. Following Mao's death,
2:07:01
Speaker 1: she was able to go to college and eventually come
2:07:02
Speaker 1: to the United States for graduate study. She has lived
2:07:05
Speaker 1: in the United States since nineteen eighty six. She delivered
2:07:07
Speaker 1: a speech in twenty twenty one in the Louden County,
2:07:10
Speaker 1: Virginia school Board against critical race theory. That speech went viral,
2:07:16
Speaker 1: ignited a national conservative media attention, and she has since
2:07:19
Speaker 1: written a book, which You've got to get, Mao's America,
2:07:21
Speaker 1: A Survivor's Warning. G Van Fleet, Welcome to the fifty
2:07:24
Speaker 1: five Ksey Morning Show. It's a distinct pleasure to have
2:07:26
Speaker 1: you on today.
2:07:28
Speaker 9: Well, thank you so much.
2:07:30
Speaker 1: I guess I'm kind of curious before we dive on
2:07:32
Speaker 1: in tonight's seminar in what you are seeing frighteningly so
2:07:36
Speaker 1: here in America. You left China in nineteen eighty six,
2:07:41
Speaker 1: to do graduate studies here. What was your impression of
2:07:45
Speaker 1: the Tanneman Square massacre in nineteen eighty nine as a
2:07:48
Speaker 1: someone so familiar with what it was like in China
2:07:50
Speaker 1: at the time. Honestly, from my American perspective, I was
2:07:55
Speaker 1: so excited up until the massacre. The crowds were gathering,
2:07:59
Speaker 1: they had symbols of the United States Statue of Liberty.
2:08:01
Speaker 1: I thought China was going to go full on capitalists.
2:08:06
Speaker 1: But no, that's when the massacre took place. What were
2:08:09
Speaker 1: you thinking at the time.
2:08:11
Speaker 9: Yeah, I was here. I was right Florida, Yeah, attending
2:08:16
Speaker 9: a college there. And I because I was in indoctrinated
2:08:21
Speaker 9: my whole entire life. I until the last last minute,
2:08:27
Speaker 9: I did not believe that the army would open fire
2:08:31
Speaker 9: to the students, because we were taught, you know, the
2:08:34
Speaker 9: army is the people's army. They protect people. That was
2:08:38
Speaker 9: a very very important moment for me, and I lost
2:08:42
Speaker 9: all remaining hope or or you losing about the CCP.
2:08:48
Speaker 9: But the tragedy is that soon after that, the whole
2:08:52
Speaker 9: world forgot about it. They forgot the thousands of students
2:08:57
Speaker 9: who were killed, and then they do business a ceolure
2:09:01
Speaker 9: and that they imported, they transfer technology, they import, they
2:09:09
Speaker 9: put so much investment there and because they just want
2:09:15
Speaker 9: to get money out of China. And now look at
2:09:18
Speaker 9: today today we really build China and now it becomes
2:09:23
Speaker 9: our number one threat.
2:09:25
Speaker 1: Well, and we can follow the the you know, the
2:09:27
Speaker 1: aros on how that came about, beginning with Save Nixon's
2:09:30
Speaker 1: administrations normalizing trade with China, obviously with the China was
2:09:34
Speaker 1: not friends with the Soviet Union. At the time, it
2:09:36
Speaker 1: seemed like it was in our best interest maybe for
2:09:38
Speaker 1: the goal of flipping China to capitalism, like giving them
2:09:42
Speaker 1: a taste of the experience. But we've seen what happened
2:09:45
Speaker 1: since then, we offshore manufacturing, China has dominated, like for example,
2:09:48
Speaker 1: the climate industry, which I'll get to in a minute.
2:09:51
Speaker 1: But you point out the people who were slaughtered a
2:09:54
Speaker 1: tenements where were the youth and the Chinese Communist Party,
2:09:57
Speaker 1: And part of the Marxist philosophy is to weapize youth,
2:10:00
Speaker 1: as you'll point out tonight in greater detail, and use
2:10:03
Speaker 1: them as a means to the rends. That clearly is
2:10:05
Speaker 1: what's going on here. But this was sort of weaponizing
2:10:08
Speaker 1: the youth in China against the oppressive Communist or Maoist government.
2:10:14
Speaker 9: Yes tonight, I are talking in more details, just as
2:10:17
Speaker 9: you said. And that is called the Red Guard of
2:10:20
Speaker 9: German Mouth. And they weaponized the indoctrinated youth to do
2:10:27
Speaker 9: his bits or what he wanted to achieve. He Uh,
2:10:30
Speaker 9: he wanted to overthrow the Chinese government, his own government,
2:10:34
Speaker 9: because he thought he was losing power.
2:10:37
Speaker 3: Just for his own gain.
2:10:39
Speaker 9: He was willing to sacrifice all the youths and then
2:10:44
Speaker 9: bring down the entire country. And Uh, by the time
2:10:49
Speaker 9: of his death, China was in the brink of total claps.
2:10:53
Speaker 9: We were living in object poverty, and that's what communism
2:10:58
Speaker 9: brought to Chinese people. But Chinese people same to forget,
2:11:03
Speaker 9: and the Americans seems to forget. The whole world seems
2:11:07
Speaker 9: to forget. It's the same communist party that's ruling China today,
2:11:12
Speaker 9: and they always always regard America as number one enemy.
2:11:17
Speaker 9: Now they don't even hide it. Now we see they
2:11:19
Speaker 9: are true intentionious. But it's never changed. It's always that way.
2:11:23
Speaker 9: We just fail to understand because we don't.
2:11:27
Speaker 3: Want to understand.
2:11:28
Speaker 1: We don't want to understand, we don't want to give
2:11:29
Speaker 1: up our TikTok z Van fleet because you know, hey,
2:11:32
Speaker 1: how we have to have this which which is a
2:11:34
Speaker 1: source of indoctrination. I have been I've been saying, and
2:11:38
Speaker 1: maybe you can confirm from a listening audience that I've
2:11:40
Speaker 1: been right on all this. My belief is and there
2:11:43
Speaker 1: are multiple different weapons of war that don't involve shooting
2:11:46
Speaker 1: each other, one of which is in doctrination via social media,
2:11:49
Speaker 1: which the Chinese Communist Party seems to dominate and own.
2:11:52
Speaker 1: They are looking at every element of our society and
2:11:56
Speaker 1: trying to divide us. You mentioned, I mean, I mentioned
2:11:58
Speaker 1: before you did that speech in front of the Louden Kinty,
2:12:01
Speaker 1: Virginia school Board against critical race theory that divides Americans
2:12:05
Speaker 1: among themselves. We can't even unite a underneath our own
2:12:08
Speaker 1: flag because well, it's an inherently racist society. Well that's
2:12:13
Speaker 1: just one the LGBTQ plus division, ruining the nuclear family.
2:12:17
Speaker 1: I mean climate change as a concept. The Chinese love
2:12:21
Speaker 1: the idea.
2:12:22
Speaker 16: That we are.
2:12:24
Speaker 1: Just ruining our own economies chasing a carbon free environment
2:12:27
Speaker 1: while they build coal plants every single day. They have
2:12:30
Speaker 1: to be laughing at us.
2:12:31
Speaker 9: G absolutely, and I always this is something I have
2:12:36
Speaker 9: really trying really hard to weaken up America. The real
2:12:40
Speaker 9: thread is not the CCP. The real thread is the
2:12:45
Speaker 9: American Marxist It's the Democratic Party. And because everything the
2:12:51
Speaker 9: CSIP was able to do is because they were allowed
2:12:54
Speaker 9: to do, they're encouraged to do and do what to
2:12:58
Speaker 9: enrich themselves and hollow out America manufacturer basis. And it's
2:13:05
Speaker 9: all applaud to weaken America, to take down America. So
2:13:11
Speaker 9: the enemy is here, the enemy is the enemy within.
2:13:16
Speaker 1: Gee Van Fleet should be speaking tonight again. Empower you
2:13:19
Speaker 1: America dot org log in. It's log in remote view only,
2:13:22
Speaker 1: so make sure you're registered to hit the ground running
2:13:24
Speaker 1: at seven pm. I get the impression and your passion
2:13:30
Speaker 1: behind what your message is is so profound. You have
2:13:33
Speaker 1: not yet given up on America. We do need to
2:13:36
Speaker 1: wake up.
2:13:36
Speaker 3: What do we need to do?
2:13:38
Speaker 1: How do we fight back other than recognize this ridiculous,
2:13:41
Speaker 1: obvious manipulation of the hearts and minds of our apparently
2:13:46
Speaker 1: ignorant young people.
2:13:48
Speaker 9: Yeah, they're ignorant because we have lost the control of
2:13:53
Speaker 9: our educational system. It's over one hundred years that the
2:13:57
Speaker 9: Marxist Communists have being in control of our education system,
2:14:03
Speaker 9: from college to public school, now to kindergarten. What they teach,
2:14:08
Speaker 9: they teach, they don't teach, They indoctrinate and so today,
2:14:13
Speaker 9: you know, so how can they How can we have
2:14:16
Speaker 9: a communist mayor in New York City and in Seattle.
2:14:20
Speaker 9: It's not that we had bad people like amount Dandy
