  Speaker 2: recovers from his latest round of chemo, Joe is I'm

  Speaker 2: Joe Strecker as he rolls out the Van Halen at
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: the top of the hour, A lot going on today,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: a lot of stuff I want to get to. I
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: hope to get your phone calls as well. At five
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: point three seven fifty five hundred, Chris Smitherman will be
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: here for the smither Vent that's going to happen at
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: seven p fifteen. Then in the eight o'clock hour, my
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: buddy Jim Serger is going to be here. Jim Serger
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: is a local author. He has written a number of
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: books and he has books on on various different topics
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: and he has written three different books now on September eleventh.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: He calls it nine to eleven a time to always remember,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: and he's compiled three different books on that with interviewing
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: different people and their recollections and their memories and of
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: what happened on that day. And Jim Serger is getting
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: ready to embark on a very special event, a special
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: journey in remembrance of September eleventh, and he will be
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: here in the eight o'clock hour to tell us all
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: about that. And the reason I'm having him on is
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: because he is the books he has written benefit the
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Tunnel to Towers Foundation, and Tunnel to Towers is just
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: an outstanding organization that has for years now been working
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: with fallen first responders and they pay off the mortgages
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: of those firefighters and police who have fallen in the
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: line of duty. Not only do they work with first responders,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: they also work with veterans and they have pledged they
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: have a pledge now to end homelessness amongst veterans. And
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: so this is a monumental undertaking. And the money that
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Jim Serga raises through the sale of his books about
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: nine to eleven, he donates all those funds all of
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: it to Tunnel to Towers, so he has a great
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: relationship with them, and he'll be here to talk about
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: the event that he is going to be participating in
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: later this summer as he seeks to raise money for
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Tunnel to Towers. So that is a great a great cause.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: It was a week ago yesterday night, yesterday, but tomorrow,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: a week ago tomorrow, I was able to go to Washington,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: d C. With Honor Flight tri State and Brian Thomas
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: was good enough to have me on at about this
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: time in the morning, and I was with my buddy,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: our buddy, Andrew Pappis. We got to CVG Airport at
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: just after five o'clock in the morning and the vets
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: were assembling there for their sendoff ceremony, and we talked
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: to Brian Thomas on the radio about that, and I
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: was encouraging people to come out to the airport that
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: night and welcome the veterans back home after they spend
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: a day in Washington, d C. And we get to
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: go around and see the various memorials. We started off
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: at the Ewajima Memorial dedicated to the Marine Corps. Just
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: a fantastic there's probably a lot of people listening right
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: now that have been to DC and seen those memorials,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: But if you have not, it is something that you
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I would strongly encourage you to do sometime. Hey, look it,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I have this weird feeling every time I go into
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: d C. It's the swamp. It's it's the source of
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: so many problems. But there are some things that are
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: done right, and many of these memorials to our men
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: and women in the military are absolutely done right. And
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: the highlight for me, the highlight of the day was
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: going to Arlington National Cemetery. I have been on the
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: outskirts of Arlington National Cemetery I have. This is the
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: first time though, I actually had the opportunity to go in,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: walk the grounds and see Arlington for myself. And so
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: when you are with Honor Flight, Try State. They give
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: special accommodation to those veterans that travel with Honor Flight,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Try State and we are able to park. There's an
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: amphitheater that is on I guess you would call it
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: the backside of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, And
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: there's a street right out there part of the cemetery,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: and we are able to park our buses from Honor
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Flight try State right out there, and it really makes
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: access to the Tomb of the Unknown quite easy for
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: the veterans that we have on that trip. And I
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: say we it's it's it's largely Cheryl and Tom Popp
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: and all the great staff and the great volunteers with
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: hon Or Flight tri State and the Guardians, and you
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: get you get great parking there and you're able to
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: go in, and they had just fantastic seeding right up close,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: and we got to witness the changing of the of
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: the guard ceremony, and then four members of the group
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: we were with, four veterans, were able to participate in
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: a rethlaying ceremony. It was just unbelievably beautiful and powerful
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: and it was the absolute highlight of the day. Then
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: it was on to the World War II Memorial, the
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Korean Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and just so many
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: stories from the group that we had, which was largely
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: out of eighty eight veterans I think I want to
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: say eighty three or eighty four were Vietnam era veterans.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: There was one Korea era veteran, and they had some
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Cold War era veterans as well, but it's just an
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: unbelievably great day. And just Tunnel to Towers and Honor
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Flight tri State just two of the local charities. I
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: don't know, I guess I don't know. I don't think
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: he would really call him Honor Flight tri State to charity,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: but just two great local organizations that just do such
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: great work and deserving of whatever support that you can
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: give to them. So we'll talk to Jim Serger about
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: that in the eight o'clock hour. I encourage you to
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: stay tuned for that. I want to give a little Well,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: today is the thirteenth, only two days left, Joe are you?
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Are you two days left to get your your annual
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: honor area ready for Washington, d C. And during our
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: trip to DC, we drove past the IRS building and
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: I was thinking to myself, Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's where
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: the money goes, right there to that building and from there,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: god knows where. So Joe, you all squared away on
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: that front. Oh, he's already. Joe's already. Joe's way ahead
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: of the game. I always I always say I'm not
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: going to be going to wait till the last minute,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: but I always do. I have everything prepared. It's just
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: a matter. Now I'm pulling the trigger and I can
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: see myself waiting at least another twenty four hours. But
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: if you need to get that squared away, time is
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: time is running out. Today's thirteenth, You got tomorrow, then Wednesday.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Wednesday is it got to get your taxes into the
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: government or they will come looking for you. And we
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: know that all too well. What else do we have
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: going on? I got to give a shout out to
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Hamilton Township Police Chief Scott Hughes, who announced his retirement
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: late last week. There was the first chance I've had
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: to talk about it publicly. But Scott Hughes has been
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: in the short time that we've been in communication with
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: each other, has been really great to me. And I
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: certainly hope he is going to be around and be
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: available because he is a voice of reason, He is
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: a voice of understanding, He is a voice of truth
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: when it comes to matters that involve police and police
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: work and police actions. And so I can graduate or
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: congratulate Scott Hughes on his retirement that will be effective
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: on May eighth, and Scott Hughes just one of the
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: great local members of law enforcement we have here in
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: the tri State and a great resource, especially for people
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: like me, especially at the times when we need it
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: the most. It's five point fifteen. We've got to get
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: to a break and your phone calls are welcome. Five
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: one three, seven four nine fifty five hundred five nineteen.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: On this Monday morning, Dan carollin for Brian Thomas, and
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I was talking in that first segment about Tunnel to
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: the Towers and honor Flight tri State about that as
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I was preparing for the show during the day yesterday,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: and I saw this headline. San Francisco nonprofit CEO accused
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: of spending one point two million dollars while homeless the
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: homeless went without shelter. Gwendolyns Westbrook, former CEO of United
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Council of Human Services, does not sound like a great title.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: United Council of Human Services, San Francs saysco nonprofit overseas
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: services for unhoused the unhoused. That is the word. Now, Joe,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: you're up to date on that, aren't you. It's not
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: homeless anymore, it's unhoused. That is the current phraseology that
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: they like to use for them. She's been criminally charged
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: from misappropriating more than one point two million dollars and
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: directly stealing ninety one thousand. According to court documents, Westbrook
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: is charged with nine felonies, including misappropriation of public funds
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: in addition to theft from her accounts the accounts of
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: the so called nonprofit. The crimes are alleged to have
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: been committed through unauthorized self payments, improper cash withdrawals, and
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: fraudulent reimbursement practices. The case caps years of red flags
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: raised by city auditors, including allegations at Westbrook gave shelter
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: space to roughly twenty families, friends and employees. She's also
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: accused of using donations to buy a Tesla and luxury
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: vehicles for her friends, as she says, she's very generous,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: very generous with other people's money. But the piece goes
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: on to talk about how this is not an isolated incident,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: and I was thinking to myself, you know, I should
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: go back and research all the stories I've had over
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: the last i don't know, eight nine, ten months about
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: one fraudulent organization after another. And it's usually not the
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: entire organization. It's a person or persons that had those
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: organizations up, and it is just it is just rampant.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: It is just absolutely every I'm really sick of it.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: But the piece goes on to talk about how this
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: is not an isolated incident. Nonprofit organizations accounted for ten
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: percent of occupational fraud globally, with an average loss of
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: seventy six thousand dollars according to the Association of Certified
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Fraud Examiners. That's lower's let me see, that's lower than
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: the proportion of fraud taking place of public or private
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: companies or even government organizations, but still significant. In the US,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: there's been a troubling pattern of financial mismanagement and ethical
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: lapses that could erode public confidence in the nonprofit sector.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: According to Charity Watch and Independent Charity watch Dog, scandals
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: large and small have revealed how charitable missions can be
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: undermined when oversight breaks down. And it certainly appears to
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: me that the end the nonprofit organization that is run
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: by the wife of the current California governor may be
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: guilty as this is well, I mean, she certainly has
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: taken a nice salary for herself. And let's see, let's see,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: let's see. Some fraud of charities has been smaller in scale,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: but equally scandalous last year. For instance, the twenty twelve
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty three president of the Colorado Amateur Hockey Association
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: found liable for civil theft, breach of fiduciary duty, and
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: unjust enrichment after diverting funds intended for youth hockey to
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: his private company. Randy Kannai was ordered to pay five
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: hundred and seventy nine thousand dollars in damages and court costs.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Connie Bobo, executive director of Missouri nonprofit New Heights Community
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Resource Center, found guilty of stealing approximately eleven million dollars
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: from federal programs. Federal programs, federal programs, federal tax dollars.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: And thank god that jd Vance is, among all the
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: other duties that he has right now, is also heading
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: up this task force directed by President Trump to look
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: into all this fraudulent activity. And I think the number
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: was two hundred and twelve. I gotta look that up,
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: but it was it was over two hundred different organizations
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: in California that he shut off funding to because so
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: much alleged fraud is happening there. And I was looking
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: at that, and I was thinking to myself, you know,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: you want to know why Pam Bondy is out as
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: attorney General because you wonn't get anything done. So here's JD.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Van's only been in this position, what a month now,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: maybe less, and already there's indictments, there's money that's being
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: cut off, there's organizations that are being identified. Him and
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: doctor Oz are going ham on this thing. That's what
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Trump wants. Trump, especially when Trump has people working for him.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: He wants results, not someone who's gonna sit there in
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: him and haul around and say that's on my desk.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: And then she proceeds to roll out the Epstein files
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: the way she did. Five point twenty five. We got
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: to get to a break, Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: fifty five krc V talk station.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: That's the number of people who take the stairs over
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: an escalator.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: And good Monday morning to you. Five twenty nine, Dan
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Carroll in for Brian Thomas and Tom is on the line.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: See what Tom has to say this morning. Tom. It's
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: good to hear from you. And good morning.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Is that my new walk up music?
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Bad Company? I guess you have to talk to Joe
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Strecker about that. But he's you know, he's the one
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: rolling out the hits there in the command center.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: He is a great job and welcome back Joe. I
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: didn't get to talk to him, he just you put
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: me on hold and severe condolences sincere condolences to Joe
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: and the Striker family for for their laws. So you
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: mentioned a different feeling you get when you go into Washington,
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: d C. And uh, and then you started talking about
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: fraud and I and I think the I think the
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: two go hand in hand.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: One. You know, we're supposed to be sending people to Washington,
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: d C. To represent us, And one big difference between
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: the people that represent us and US is that we,
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: as normal citizens, the vast majority of us, do not
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: have access to these large pools of money, of other
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: people's money we we have. There's no way for us
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: to do anything about other people's money or use it
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: or whatever. And that is that that is a whole
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: different ballgame. When your job involves spending money that's not
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: your own money. It something clicks. I don't I don't
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: know what it is. I I've never been in that position.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: So it's kind of like someone who's never been addicted
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: to drugs talking to somebody who has been addicted to drugs.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: You don't really you can't really relate fully. But something
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: happens to two people. It has to be just based
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: on observation. Something happens when you get in a position
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: and you have this big pot of money and you
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: can start spending it. And that's uh. That that takes
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: a lot of self control and discipline, UH to stick
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: with your values and and to to remind yourself daily
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: that's not my money, that's other people's money. I need
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: to spend it on their behalf, not mine. And and unfortunately,
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: more often than not, you have people that get in
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: there and and this is both sides of the Ledger.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: This is not just Democrats. Republicans are just as guilty
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: of it. It's difference.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Well, Tom, you make it before you get too far
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: down the road here, I mean, you mean, make an
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: excellent point. And this very topic that you're talking about,
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: this is something I whenever I get a chance to
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: talk to anyone who has spent time in Washington, and
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: I have this very question. I have asked this of
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: brad Winstrip, Steve Shabbitt, others who have been in Congress,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: and I ask what happens when you get there because
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: the way I look at it, I think these people
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: who go to Congress don't have this in mind. But
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: once you get to d C, and once you get
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: into that proximity of power, and then you dip your
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: foot into the you know, into the swamp, and you
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: start spending other people's money. I really think you're right.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: I really think something happens to you in your perspective
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: on this changes. I think, you know, I think a
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: guy like winstrip Is is someone who was able to
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: resist that. He did his time in DC and he
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: was able to get away from it. But what other
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: explanation can there be for someone like someone like Nancy
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Pelosi who has been there forever, someone like Mitch McConnell,
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: who just I mean, he could have retired, he could
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: have left fifteen twenty years ago and never had to
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: lift a finger work another day in his life. He's
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: got more money than he will ever be able to
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: spend in multiple lifetimes. And I mean, you look at
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: someone like Dianne Feinstein, who was so addicted to the
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: power in DC. Even after she had her major health issues,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: she came back to d C. And you remember that
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: when she came back and a reporter asked, Hey, did
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: you miss his place when you were gone? And she said,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: I never left. She didn't even know where she was.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: And she died there because she had to come back
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: and be in that proximity to power and money and
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: it and it just I really think it worps your
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: mind after a certain amount of time. And I just
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: look at so many of these individuals who have been there,
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: whether it's just have the House or the Senate or
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: some position in Washington where they are in proximity to this,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: and I really think it changes people, and it's a
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: it's a terrible thing. It doesn't serve It doesn't serve
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: us well as citizens.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: No, that's the point. It doesn't serve us. They're they're
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: there to represent us, and they don't. They don't represent us.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: It's like you're on a living on a totally different
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: plane when you're when you're in that environment and you're
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: getting you're getting showered with all kinds of gifts and
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: payouts and handouts from from god knows who. I think
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: that I think the general term is lobbyist people that
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: are trying to get you to make decisions that are
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: going to benefit them. With other people's money. This is
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: what it comes down to, and yet is addicting and
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: it's a I think we're making a really good case
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: for term limits, and of course every day I try
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: to make the case, make sure I remind everybody don't
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: vote Democrat.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Have a great day, Tom, Thank you very much for
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: that call. I appreciate that. But in the long run,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: do you really think that there's any chance at term
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: limits are going to come about either? I mean, if
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: if there was, and maybe there is, with all the
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: all the the wagering and stuff that we have going
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: on out there, maybe there's a way to place a
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: bet on that. But I would say it is a
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: pretty safe bet that the notion of term limits is
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: something that will never come to pass, especially in our lifetimes.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Five point thirty nine Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas, fifty
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: five KRCV Talk station. You're one stop for advertising. Call
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: eight four to four fifty five KRCV Talk station. I've
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: won three seven, four, five hundred Dan Carroll for Brian
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Thomas and our Eric swallows Well. I mean Swalwell has
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: had a tough forty eight hours. If you get up
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: this morning, one of the first things you'll see is
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: the tweet that he bravely put out in the overnight hours.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: I am suspending my campaign for governor. To my family, staff,
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: friends and supporters. I'm deeply sorry for mistakes and judgment
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: I've made in my past. I will fight the serious
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: false allegations that have been made, but that's my fight,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: not a campaign. So Eric Swalwell has removed himself from
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: the governor's race in California, and even the Democrats were
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: piling on Hakim Jefferies, Nancy Pelosi. I think Adam Schiff
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: was out there all telling him to drop out of
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: the race, suspend his campaign for California governor. But here's
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: the thing. No prominent national Democrat in Congress has called
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: for Swalwell to resign his seat in Congress, where the
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: alleged misconduct against his subordinates is said to have occurred
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: multiple women, In case you haven't heard, multiple women, including
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: the congressional staffer and at least three others, have come
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: forward with sexual misconduct and alleged allegations against Swalwell. The
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: claims include unwanted sexual advances, unsolicited explicit messages including nude photos,
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: the two alleged assaults on former staff while she was intoxicated.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: One of those claimed a reportedly took place in twenty
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: nineteen while she worked for him, another in twenty twenty four.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: CNN and the San Francisco Chronicle have investigated and provided
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: corroborating details, such as text messages and medical records. Swalwell
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: is strongly denying the allegations, calling them false and politically
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: timed to damage his campaign. Well, when it comes to
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: things like this, I tend to give the accused the
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: benefit of the doubt. You are innocent until proven guilty. Well,
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: how did Eric Swalwell feel about that? For instance, in
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, when Justice Kavanaugh was having his hearings, his
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: confirmation hearings to get onto the Supreme Court, and there
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: were just wild accusations of impropriety and sexual misconduct brought
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: against Kavanaugh. Well, how did Eric Swaalwell react to that?
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: In twenty eighteen, Joe, can we please hear cut number
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: two for.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: Brett Kavanaugh's sake? If he is innocent? I hope tomorrow
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: he opens his statement and says, you know what, bring
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: in all the victims, allow them to be heard, allow
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: them to be questioned. That will clear his name, if
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: he's indeed innocent, and if he's not, for the sake
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: of the credibility of the court, I hope that the
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: Senators would vote against him. It's very easy to isolate
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: one incident and you know, shine inaccuracies or inconsistencies on
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: that case. But the more and more cases that are
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: separate and independent that look the same, pretty soon a
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: prosecutor starts to say to a jury, and this is
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: not a jury, but it's it's allegations that the arrows
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: are pointing in the same directions. And what are the
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: chances that three or four women independently who never met
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: each other would have similar experience says with one person.
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: So either ari this person committed these horrific acts or
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: he is the single unluckiest person in the world for
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: these people to conspire and make up lies against him.
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: But it's a very hard case to make the more
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: allegations that come.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: In, Yes, and I believe the actual tweet from Swalwell
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: back in those days was that women should be heard,
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: women should be believed. And you just heard him right there.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: When you have I don't know, three or four women
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: all coming forward and describing very similar acts it really
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: just really points the ero in that direct. I mean, look,
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: this is not me saying this, it's a Swalwell saying this.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: And if you want to do yourself a favor this morning,
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: I'm on X. That's a social media that I look
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: at the most. Eric Swalwell put his post down on
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: X this morning. Go to that and read the post
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: where he talks about where he's suspending his campaign and
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: then just scrolled down the responses because they came in
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: fast and furious. I would read some of them on
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: the air, but Joe, what's that Brian is fond of
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: saying about being FCC compliant. Yeah, let's let's be FCC compliant.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: I cannot read those responses on the air, and I
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: don't want to risk it. But if you want to,
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: if the entertainment value is there, if you know what
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about, So do yourself a favor and go
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: and and read those responses. And then and the thing
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: about this and I and I don't I think I
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: read where Anna Pauline A Luna is going to put
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: a petition out to force Swallwell to resign from Common.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: But you've got all these democrats who were talking about
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: him dropping out of the race for governor in California,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: but they are not calling for him to step down
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: from Congress. So I guess this stuff is fine in DC,
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: but when it comes to California, we got to have
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: that governor's seat. Can't risk it. So we'll see what
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: happens with Swalwell and the more could happen today. Now
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: that and the even CNN, CNN and all the usual
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: suspects when it comes to the liberal media unloaded on
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Swallwell over the weekend as well, And so Eric Swalwell
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: knows if you're a Democrat and you lose CNN, things
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: are not looking very good for you. Five forty six,
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: We've got to get to a break, Dan Carroll for
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: Brian Thomas fifty five KRCD Talk Station, got something to
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: say love, Yeah, well, just have the red Talk talk station.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: And if you go to your x feed today and
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: you're looking up the post from Eric Swalwell and the
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: comments that follow there under make sure you check out
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: the one by James Woods as it relates to Eric Swalwell. Absolutely,
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: it's that that guy James Woods puts out some of
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: the best stuff on social media, and not every time
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: but almost a lot of times he hits the nail
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: right on the head and just does when you talk
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: about entertainment, and I really think that's what the value
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: of X or social media is more than anything it's for,
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: at least for me, it's entertainment value. It does, from
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: time to time help spur ideas for what we can
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: talk about on the show. But that requires a little,
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: a little work, little effort to make sure because I mean,
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: look stuff you see on social media. I don't need
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: to tell you that you got to be careful with it.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Can't believe everything you read, especially on social media. You
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, Joe. Let's see what Pat has
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: to say this morning. Pat, you're on fifty five KRC.
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: Oh, good morning.
• 31:23
  Speaker 7: I can I heard this past week because everybody's talking
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: about swamwell, but up there in Happy Minnesota, Keith Ellison
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: and Tim wallsh are going to be up Wednesday for
• 31:38
  Speaker 7: impeachment and I got it got to do with the fraud.
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: Have you heard anything.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: On that about Keith Ellison and Tim Walls. They're going
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: to have an impeachment hearing in the I guess in
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: the state House there in Minnesota.
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: Right they're up for impeachment. Yeah, I just wondered if
• 31:59
  Speaker 7: you heard anything.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: I have not heard anything about that. I can't imagine
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: that Minnesota. I would. I know there's some from some
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: very strong Republicans up there, but I'm pretty sure that
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: their legislator legislature is controlled by Democrats, and so I
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: cannot imagine that any impeachment effort is going to go
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: very far. But I will I will endeavor to check
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: that out and see what I can find out. All right, Pat,
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: thank you very much for that phone call. I appreciate that.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Just a couple of minutes, so we get to the
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: break here in news coming up at the at the
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: top of the hour. Smith Aman will be here at
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: the seven o'clock hour for the Smith event, and then
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: in the eight o'clock hour, my buddy Jim Serger and
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: we'll talk about an event that he is going to
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: be involved in. Local league guy from Northside has pleaded
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: guilty in federal court, Thomas Bryan Kneehouse. So when I
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: the first time I saw that that name, I had
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: to do a little double take. Am I reading this right?
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Thomas Bryant knee House took a plea deal on a
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: malicious use of fire charge. The details of the plea
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: deal from the attorney's office were not immediately available. Investigators
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: used the bike rental records, porch camera footage the ty
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: Knee House to the fires that happened back in July
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: of twenty twenty five. They say targeted at least ten
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: homes in the early morning hours to burn Pride flags,
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: and I guess the Ukrainian flag, you can't do that.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: You may disagree with those flags and what they represent
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: and what they stand for, but you can't go around
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: burning other people's property. I guess if it's your flag
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: and you're out on the street. And that's the argument
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: that I've been trying to make for a long time
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: when it comes to the American flag, don't I don't
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: like the idea of people burning the American flag. But
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: if it's your flag and you pay for it and
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: you're not harming anyone, then I guess you have the right,
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: however wrongheaded it may be, to go ahead and burn
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: that flag in demonstration. But other people's property, and then
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: the possibility of, especially if it's waving from their home,
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: the possibility you could burn their home down. I can't
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: have that. So, but does this guy deserve twenty years
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: in prison? I don't know about that, but that's the
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: possibility for that. Dude five fifty five on fifty five KRC,
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: the Talk station On.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: Fifty five KRC, the Talk station.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Six o six on the yes Monday morning, Joe Strecker
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: rolling out the Van Halen take off the top of
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: the hour. Always appreciate that, Dan Carroll, and for Brian Thomas.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: You get to be here today and tomorrow, so I
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: want to thank Joe for that and Brian Thomas for that.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: Always glad to be here and always glad to be
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: speaking with and being in touch with the one of
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: the greatest audiences in radio, that Brian Thomas. Audience five one, three, seven,
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: four nine, fifty five hundred just checked out. One of
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: my favorite red websites is red State, and they're following
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: up on Swalwell this morning. Something I did not know.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Their headline is Swalwell continues to crash and burn as
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: billionaire boost him from mansion he was hiding in California.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Representative Eric Swalwell has seen one of the most stunning
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: political implosions you will ever see. Just days ago, he
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: was the front runner in the California Gubernatoile race, but Friday,
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: the San Francisco Chronicle reported some extremely serious sexual allegations.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Almost every person or organization who endorsed him has rescinded
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: their support. In Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has opened
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: an investigation. Let's see, only got worse with Swalwell on Sunday.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: He had been holed up at the home of a
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: billionaire friend. So why would Eric Swalwell, who was a joe.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: He's a representative from California, isn't he Why would he
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: need to hold up in the home of a billionaire friend.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't if he's from California, wouldn't he have his own
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: place in California. He's a congressman for California. But no,
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: he's instead bunking up with his billionaire friend. Stephen Klobec
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: cut ties with Swalwell and revealed he has kicked him
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: out of his mansion. This was just hours before he
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: decided to drop his run for governor. I am no
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: longer supporting, Eric Klobec told The Post in an exclusive interview.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: H More f bombs here, effing tell everyone I'm a libertarian.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Fu Democrat Party, I'm a libertarian. Now, the ugly breakup
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: between the Timeshare mogul and the Bay Area congressman mark's
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: yet another stunning point in Swalwell's cratering political career. Now,
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: this is a guy who was talking about running for
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: president at some point. It is not looking good for him.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: Following public allegations of rape, sexual assault, and other sexual
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: misconduct made by several women who knew or worked for Stawell,
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: the Bay Area congressman lost most of his endorsements, his
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: political endorsements. Klobec spent more than a million dollars supporting
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: Swalwell's candidacy, and the embattled congressman filmed his denial video
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Friday from the palatial Beverly Hills mansion. So this is,
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, how good of a friend would you have
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: to be with someone like Swalwell to say, and I look,
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: I guess if you're a billionaire, you've got a big house,
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: probably have a whole entire guest wing on the house. Hey,
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: you want to stay here, go ahead to stay in
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: the guest wing there. But then some of these really ugly,
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: ugly allegations of sexual misconduct come out, and you say
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: you know what, it's time to hit the bricks. And
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: that million dollars I gave you for your campaign, that's it.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: No more from me. So yeah, Swall, weell tough times
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: for that dude. And why doesn't he have his own
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: place in California? You have some respect as a man.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: You're running for governor of California and you're telling me
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: you don't have your own place, an apartment or something.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: I know it's expensive, but for God's sake, how many
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: years have you been in Congress and you gotta you
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: got a chisel like that just to have a place
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: to stay. You know, Look, the dude's a billionaire. Sure,
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: this place is a lot nicer than yours. Come on, man,
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: let's see what CJ has to say. CJ, you're on
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: fifty five KRC.
• 40:23
  Speaker 8: But you know, being from California, Swawell has always been
• 40:27
  Speaker 8: kind of known to be kind of a creek.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I will say.
• 40:31
  Speaker 8: This, This is not gonna say the Democrats are playing
• 40:34
  Speaker 8: a dangerous game here because the only reason why this
• 40:38
  Speaker 8: came out is so that way there were guarantees that
• 40:41
  Speaker 8: two Republicans will not be at the top of the
• 40:43
  Speaker 8: election ticket. They would have kept this silent forever, had
• 40:48
  Speaker 8: it would not been at the riverside sheriff. And also
• 40:54
  Speaker 8: the other candidate was not sitting top two consistently in polls,
• 40:57
  Speaker 8: with Swallwell occasionally there as well.
• 41:01
  Speaker 9: But I will say.
• 41:02
  Speaker 8: This, the Democrats opened up a barn door against some
• 41:07
  Speaker 8: of their senators that are in there, who are close
• 41:10
  Speaker 8: friends with fall Well from their time in the House,
• 41:14
  Speaker 8: the Senator Diego from Arizona. Those two are like blood
• 41:19
  Speaker 8: brothers in the House. You got to suspect that there's
• 41:23
  Speaker 8: no way they did not at least know about it.
• 41:26
  Speaker 8: There is a video out there right now running around
• 41:29
  Speaker 8: that may or may.
• 41:30
  Speaker 10: Not have him in it.
• 41:32
  Speaker 8: And then you got Andy came out of New Jersey
• 41:34
  Speaker 8: as well, who there is just no way he doesn't
• 41:37
  Speaker 8: know about it. And there's no way Nancy Pelosi didn't
• 41:39
  Speaker 8: know about this either.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: No look, Nancy Pelosi, that entire delegation from California came
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: to all the Democrats who matter all know exactly what
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: is going on here. And as you pointed out, this
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: is part of a longer term play to ensure that
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: they maintain their grip on the state legislature and the
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: governor's office in California. They cannot look anything that is
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: a threat to the power that the Democrats have, especially
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: people like Nancy Pelosi. They will they will come as
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: hard as they have to come to eliminate that threat,
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: even if that means lopping off one of their own.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: Because the agenda trumps everything. The agenda is the most
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: important thing, and anything that gets in the way of
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: that needs to be eliminated. End of story. And so
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: Eric Swawell, you've got to fall on your sword for this. Sorry,
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: you know, you know it sucks to be you. But
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: you're done. And they well, you know, we'll see what
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: happens with him in Congress. Maybe it'll get to such
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: a critical mass that they don't you know, they don't
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: need him. He calls in so much drag on what
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: happens in Congress. So we'll see how that plays out
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: over the next several days. Let's see what Jay has
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: to say this morning. Jay, you're on fifty five KRC.
• 43:06
  Speaker 9: Hey, good morning, Dan. I want to go back to
• 43:09
  Speaker 9: I'm going to go back to the fraud discussion real quick.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 43:13
  Speaker 9: I have been critical jd Evans. I applaud the fact
• 43:18
  Speaker 9: that he's up and moving and going after California. But
• 43:22
  Speaker 9: here's my concern is, let's say we spent six months
• 43:27
  Speaker 9: in California, It's probably gonna be more like a year.
• 43:30
  Speaker 9: There's fifty states, right, and we're likely to lose the midterms,
• 43:34
  Speaker 9: so we only have a short amount of time to
• 43:37
  Speaker 9: make a den in this thing. And the fact is
• 43:41
  Speaker 9: that the data exists right now at CMS has for
• 43:45
  Speaker 9: years to tell to tell anybody who wants to know
• 43:48
  Speaker 9: where the fraud is. A few years back, America for
• 43:51
  Speaker 9: Prosperity had to put together a FOIA lawsuit to get
• 43:55
  Speaker 9: the information out of CMS, and it showed that Ohio
• 43:59
  Speaker 9: was worth in the country at a forty three point
• 44:01
  Speaker 9: three percent improper payment rate, worse than California, worse than
• 44:05
  Speaker 9: New York. So the data exists, and what I would
• 44:09
  Speaker 9: what I would propose is that all of the funding
• 44:12
  Speaker 9: of these ngs ceases immediately until we get this figured out.
• 44:18
  Speaker 9: Maybe we turn it back on, maybe we don't. I
• 44:20
  Speaker 9: think this all came from George W. Bush administration, where
• 44:24
  Speaker 9: there was faith based initiatives or on top of all
• 44:27
  Speaker 9: of the federally funded welfare programs that these NGOs got
• 44:32
  Speaker 9: stood up that we're going to start giving more tax
• 44:34
  Speaker 9: payer money to make the social welfare in net bigger.
• 44:37
  Speaker 9: If it's front full of fraud and it is across
• 44:41
  Speaker 9: fifty states, we don't have time to take this on
• 44:43
  Speaker 9: state by state. This needs to be an executive order
• 44:47
  Speaker 9: or it needs to be ceased immediately, stop all of
• 44:51
  Speaker 9: the payments until we have time to get this figured out.
• 44:54
  Speaker 9: Because we are broke as a country and that is
• 44:56
  Speaker 9: our biggest national security threat as our financial So one
• 45:01
  Speaker 9: state at a time is not going to get us
• 45:03
  Speaker 9: where we need to be. We will with the Republicans
• 45:06
  Speaker 9: will likely be out of power, and anything we want
• 45:09
  Speaker 9: to do as far as stopping fraud, that window is
• 45:11
  Speaker 9: going to close quickly. So good start with California, But
• 45:16
  Speaker 9: typically as the Republican Party goes too little, too late
• 45:20
  Speaker 9: at a glacial pace.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: Well, Jay, I'll tell you what. You make a number
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: of good points. I am going to address some of
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: those after the break. We were up against the clock
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: so we got to let you go. But Jay, thank
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: you very much for that phone call. But no, Jay
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: makes a lot of good points there, and I would
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: like to expand on some of those after the break here,
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: So let's go ahead and do that on fifty five
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: KRC the talk station fifty five KRC DE talk station.
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas is following up on some
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: of the comments that our last caller, Ja made before
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: we got to the break, and one he was talking
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: about the midterms and the likelihood that Republicans are likely
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: to lose control of the House in the Senate in
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: the midterms. To my way of thinking, that is looking
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: like a more distinct possibility with every passing day, and
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: it should not be. It is unbelievably sickening to me
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: that the Republicans who are in charge of things on
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: Capitol Hill, and specifically John Thune as the majority leader
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: in the Senate, has let things get to the state
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: to where they are right now, to where Republicans cannot
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: even get on the same page to pass a piece
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: of legislation that eighty percent of Americans agree with. I
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: believe the number is eighty seven or eighty nine percent
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: amongst Republicans, it's in the mid to high seventies amongst Democrats, Independents,
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: very close to eighty percent agree with the Save America
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: Act that illegal aliens should not be voting in our
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: elections and in order to register to vote. You've got
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: to have proof of citizenship. That is one of the
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: most common sense things and it's a shame that we
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: need legislation to that effect, but the world we live
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: in today, that's what we need. And so their failure
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: to get together on that and move forward with the
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: rest of the Trump agenda is going to, I think
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: sink our chances when it comes to and when I
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: say our chances, I guess I should say the chances
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: of the Republicans to maintain control of the House and
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: Senate in the midterms. And it's not just that. There's
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: some other issues as well, but I think that is
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: the key one. And Democrats are looked at they're a
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: smart bunch. They're not good for America. They hate the country.
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: They hate the idea that you have any financial freedom
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: of your own, or any freedom to speak of. They
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: are doing everything they can to infringe on that, and
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: they are doing everything they can to maintain their grip
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: on power. And once they get back in control, they
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: are going to go hogwhile on going after Trump and
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: another impeachment. As it relates to JD. Vance and the
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: task force that he is in charge of. You make
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: a good point that he needs to have a wide
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: scope on his investigation, and I believe he is. California
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: is the low hanging fruit, doctor Oz. Doctor memon Oz
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: was looking into a lot of the Medicare and medicaid
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: fraud that was going on in California, and as he
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: was looking into that, he just kept uncovering more and
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: more and more in this predates jd Vance being the
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: head of the task Force. But here's a story that
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: was published in Fox News just a couple of days ago.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: JD Vance's task force flags nearly six point three billion
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: dollars in government contracts going to potentially fraudulent businesses. So
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: the task force is looking at more states than just California.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: Here's another headline that I had looked at and was
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: going to talk about during the course of the day today,
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: the Department of Justice suing a Michigan count over sanctuary
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: policies allegedly shielding criminal illegal aliens. They're getting back to
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: the task Force. The task Force and the GSA sending
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: out letters now to nearly four hundred businesses with government
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: contracts that they believe could be fraudulent. The businesses will
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: have thirty days to prove to the task Force that
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: they have a physical address and are legitimate businesses. So
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: here's six or more than six billion dollars in fraud
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: potential fraud that they have targeted, and they are they're
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: moving on this. The letters are out, and I don't think,
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: you know, I think giving these businesses thirty days to
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: provide an address provide evidence that they are a legitimate
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: business because, as we know, so much of this fraud
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: has gone out to businesses that are nothing more than
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: a name on a piece of paper. The order specifically
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: highlights Minnesota as a primary example of staggering fraud and way,
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: citing an alleged two hundred and fifty million scam by
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: the nonprofit Feeding Our Future, So that that's one that's
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: already been identified and people have already pleaded guilty to.
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: So yeah, JD Vance again. They're just getting started, but
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: things are already happening, and I keep going back to this.
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: I think this is the I'm sure there's other reasons
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: a factor in as well, but I think the main
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: reason why Pam Bondy is no longer Attorney General is
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: because she sat on her butt for far too long
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: talking about getting things done and stuff piled up on
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: her desk and things did not get done. I think
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: jd Vance has a way better understanding of what Trump
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: expects and so uh that is a bright light of
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: hope as we try to clean all this stuff out.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: Don't forget Scott the Cent said, the annual fraud number
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: for the United States of America is six hundred billion
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: dollars every year. We clean that up and we can
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: start talking about getting our fiscal house in order. Six
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: twenty seven, Late for a break, Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas,
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: fifty five KRC, the talk station.
• 52:36
  Speaker 8: You're one stop for advertising called eight four four eight four.
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: Ftation six point thirty one on this Monday morning, Dan
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: Carroll for Brian Thomas, fifty five KRC, the talk station.
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: Good calls this morning. You want to pick up the
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: phone five one three seven fifty five hundred and Will
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: has been hanging on for a little while, and Will
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: you're on fifty five KRC, Well you gotta turn your
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: radio down. Come on, Will Joe? Should we give them
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: another chance? Bag them? Okay, sorry Joe? Or Will? Will
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: you gotta kid with the program? Brother?
• 53:21
  Speaker 11: Oh?
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: What else do we have going on? What else do
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: we have going on again, the Jdvans Task Force. I
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: got a lot of hope for that guy. I was
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: looking at what is going on with the with the blockade,
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: and let me see if I can find that piece,
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: because I mean, there's a lot of moving parts on
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: this thing. And when I got up Sunday and I'm
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: watching the Sunday shows and I'm seeing that Trump has
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: come out and said, you know what, We're going to
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: have a blockade. How does that work? Well, here we go.
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: Let's see. So Trump announced me you action in the
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: straight of Horror moves. So there's a lot of moving
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: parts with this directive. So Number one, the US Navy
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: is going to blockade the Straight of Horn moves to
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: and prevent any ship from entering or leaving. From the
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: perspective of scale, there are about nineteen hundred ships in
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: the Persian Gulf waiting to leave, at about eight hundred
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: in the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman waiting
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: to pass through the Straight of Horn moves. Number two,
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: closing Horror moves means blockading ports in a rock Kuwait,
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar in the UAE. So this is
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: no small undertaking. No one seems sure how to identify
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: which ships paid a toll because of the required currencies
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: crypto or ren minbi. I don't know what rend mimbi
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: is some currency. Maybe that's a crypto, I don't know
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: what it is. They were chosen to allow anonymity. The
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: blockade also raises questions about how the US might handle
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: a ship from a friendly nation seeking to transit the
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: Straight before MOUs last night, the Central Command published a
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: directive on how the blockade will be enforced. Central Command
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: forces will begin implementing a blockade of all maritime traffic
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: entering and exiting Iranian ports on April thirteenth at ten
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: am Eastern time, in accordance with the President's proclamation. The
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: blockade will be enforced and partially against vessels of all
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: nations entering or departing the Iranian ports in Coastalarias, including
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: all Iranian ports and the Arabian Golf and Gulf of Oman.
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: Sent Com forces will not impede freedom of navigation for
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: vessels transiting the Strait of Horror moves to and from
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: non Iranian ports. Additional information will be provided to commercial
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: maritime or mariners through a former notice prior to the
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: start of the blockade. All mariners are advised to monitor
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: notice and mariner broadcast and contact US naval forces on
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: the Bridge to Bridge channel when operating in the Golf. Hmm.
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: So the United States will enforce a blockade of Iranian
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: ports in the Arabian Golf and the Gulf of Oman
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: starting at ten this morning, at ten o'clock Eastern time,
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: So that's what three and a half hours from now.
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: So this is I mean, you talk about a lot
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: of moving and then they go on to say the
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: blockade will be enforced impartially sent con forces will not
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: impede freedom of navigation for vessels transiting the straight to
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: and from non Iranian ports. So it looks like if
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: you are a vessel going through the Strait, you are
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: going to a non Aranian port, then you are free
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: to transit the straight. So we will see how that
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: works out. I mean, of late, it's been Hey, nine
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: ships went through the strait today, twelve went through. That's
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: not good enough. So there are nineteen hundred ships that
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: are waiting to leave the Persian Gulf, eight hundred waiting
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: to get in. So we'll see if they can unclog
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: that jam during the course of the day today and tomorrow,
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: we will see what happens. Six thirty sixty five KRC
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: DE talk Station Steve Perrins Coordinated Financial Planning and whip
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: at six point forty on this Monday morning, fifty five
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: KRC five point three seven nine fifty five hundred. So
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: boiling all this down with the blockade, it looks like
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: that friendly ships will be blocked from entering Iranian ports
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: along with rogue tankers that trade in bootleg Iranian crude oil.
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: The message implies that some sort of escort of patrol
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: system will be established to coordinate passage with the US
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: Navy rather than the IRGC. And how the how, how
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: in any way, shape or form the IRGC is operating
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: right now is beyond me. That to me has been
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: one of the whole time with the the Iranian situation.
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: How is the IRGC operating in any way, shape or
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: form right now? There are some other parts that haven't
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: been identified yet, For instance, will Iranian tankers at sea
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: be fair game for seizures? And then it looks like
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: Iran has about twenty three million barrels of crude oil
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: at sea right now. That they have a number of
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: tankers out there that are loaded with oil and they're
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: keeping them away from carg Island. I guess in the
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: event that they have some issues they and they need oil.
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: So there's a lot of moving parts there right now.
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: And how lucky are we that well? I mean, look,
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: none of this would be happening if Kamala Harris was
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: president right now, and I don't mean that in a
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: good way. We would still be sending palace of cash.
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: It would still be there would still be a distinct
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: likelihood that Iran would be on the doorstep of getting
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: a nuclear weapon and the threat to the United States
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: would continue. I saw, I saw so many Democrats over
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: the weekend on the Sunday shows. Oh, no, no, no,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: no threat. Iran was no threat to the United States,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: none whatsoever. And they simply just discount and pooh pooh
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: the past forty nine to fifty years, all the state
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: sponsorship of terrorism, all the Americans that have been killed
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: in terrorist attacks that have been supported and paid for
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: by Iran, the administrations that we have that sent them
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: pallets of cash, that did not enforce the sanctions against Iran,
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: that allow them to just rake in billions upon billions
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: of dollars and go back to their ways of supporting
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: terrorists around the world and all the Americans that have
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: died as a result of it. And in the news
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: this past hour, if you were listening at the top
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: of the hour at six, there was a little cut
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: from Kamala Harris, who who was appearing on I guess
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: Al Sharpton has a podcast now, or he's got some
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: kind of TV. He's got something, and he has If
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: you want to be a Democrat and you want to
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: run for president, then you've got to go kiss the
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: ring of Al Sharpton. This has been going on for
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: years now, for decades. And of course she was there
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: when she was running against Trump last time and talked
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: about how she would sign a bill for reparations, and
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: then she did this. She was attempting to make fun
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: of Trump in just one of the most idiotic ways possible,
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: trying to control Donald Trump, and it sounded like this, Joe,
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: you're cut number three. Please.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 12: Well, he's pulled back because you know, the way that
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 12: he's thinking of foreign policy, it seems, is when he
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 12: talks about America, first, it's to withdraw from these relationships
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 12: and these connections and then he kind of read acts
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 12: like a mob boss. So then he's kind of legal.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, you take Eastern.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 10: Europe and I'll take the Western hemisphere, and then you
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 10: over you get Asia and we're just divided up right,
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 10: instead of understanding historically, America has always been about our
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 10: global leadership imperfect though we have been.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: What the heck is that? That is Kamala Harris and
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: her attempt at a mashup of the Trumpster and Don
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: Corleoni from The Godfather. Oh god, can you imagine that?
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: And Jen she's out there saying she gets applause when
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: she says it, Hey, I might run for president to
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: get Oh yeah, can you imagine that? I mean, she
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: what an absolute imbecile and this is just the latest.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: I'll give her credit though it doesn't sound like she
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: was drunk. Doesn't sound like she had been, you know,
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: hitting the hitting the Merleau pretty heavy before she went
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: on stage. There five three seven fifty five hundred Dan
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: Carroll for Brian Thomas, fifty five KRC the talk station.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 3: That's the number of people who take the stair at
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 3: the stage.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: So the other thing that's going on in the straight
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: of horror Moves. Is Mindes Central Command says it is
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: setting conditions for clearing minds in the Strait of Horror Moves.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: Two US Navy guided missile destroyers are conducting operations to
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: that end. Let's see the frank you know, the Frankie
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: Peterson and the USS Michael Murphy transited the straight and
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: operated in the in the Arabian Golf as part of
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: a broader mission to ensure the strait is fully clear
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: of minds previously laid by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary GUARDCOREPS. So
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: that's the thing. And I've seen I've seen so many
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: different reports on the idea of minds out there, and
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: one was essentially saying that if Iran put mines out there,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: they don't know where they put him. I don't know
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: if it was just so random or so haphazard that
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: they just dropped them. Don't know where they're out there.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: And then there was another report that they may not
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: have placed any minds out there at all. But and
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: then I've seen so many other reports that either you know,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: we don't have the mind detectors that we need to
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: rely on other countries to go out and find these
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: minds to my way of thinking, I just don't know
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: how that can be. But you know, maybe there are
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: some other countries that have better capabilities in that area
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: than we do, and that they may or may not
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: be helping it. It's just it's just really it's an
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: absolute mess, I think. But I'm going to give Trump
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: the benefit of the doubt that he's got the big
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: picture in mind here and things are going to work
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: out to our benefit. I certainly hope so. And then
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: I see this China is and I don't know how
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: story like this can just be out in the media.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: China's preparing to deliver new air defense systems to Iran
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: within the next few weeks. Drawing on people familiar with
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: recent intelligence assessments, CNN said the delivery would be a
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: provocative move, considering Beijing said it helped broker the fragile
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: ceasefire that pauls the war between Iran and the United
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: States this week. Trump and the Chinese president are also
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: set to meet next month, after the president's previous plan
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: to make the trip to China was rescheduled because of
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: the conflict. Intelligence appears to indicate that Iran may be
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: using a ceasefire to replenish certain weapons systems. I mean,
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: if we've got that country on lockdown the way that
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: we are being told, how is it possible that they
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: can replenish their weapon systems. How is it possible that
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: if this news is out in the open likeness that
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: Iran is going to be sending these weapon systems air
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: defense systems to Iran. How can we allow that to happen?
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: If we know it's going to happen. I would think
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: that we could monitor and track where those weapons as
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: defensive weapon systems are now and the moment they arrive
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: on Irani and soil boom take them out. How is
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: it possible that we don't have the ability to do that.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: China sees no real strategic value in overtly entering the
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: conflict and trying to protect Iran against US and Israel.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: According to a CNN source, China depends heavily on Iran's
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: oil and wants to remain on friendly terms. Both China
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: and Russia have had long established military and economic relationships
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: with Iran. CNN reported that Moscow had provided formidable intelligence
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: assistance during the war by locating US troops and assets
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: in the Middle East. But I heard yesterday. I was
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: watching a little bit of Fox News yesterday and they
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: were talking about, as they so often do during their
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: live reports, Trey Yankster is are and he says, well,
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: as we are speaking, the air raid sirens are going
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: off once again. But apparently these were missiles that were
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: coming in from Lebanon this time. So we'll see what happens.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: And again I'm giving Trump the benefit of the doubt
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: that he sees the bigger picture on this, knows where
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: all this is going, because I certainly do not. Six
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: fifty five Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas. Fifty five KRC
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: the talk station, the iHeart Radio app. It's where we
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: put the ation. Fifty five KRC DE talk station. Joe
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: Strucker rolling out the Van Halen. Dan Carroll in for
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: Brian Thomas on this Monday morning, two days away from
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: tax Day. Oh man, I worked on mine last week
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: and uh, yeah, the big day is coming in a
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: couple of days. That's gonna hurt a little bit. What
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: are you gonna do? It mean, it's just I was
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: talking to some friends about that over the weekend and
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: we were sitting around talking about that. It's like, yeah,
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: you know, you you sit down, you look at a
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: all the taxes you paid during the course of the year,
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: and you think, man, that's a nice chunk of money
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: right there. And then in a lot of cases, the
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: government says, you know, you sent all this money in, Now,
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: how about a little bit more outstanding? Outstanding? How came
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: Jeffries is out there making a fool of himself said
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: this past week that the Trump administration is carrying out
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: in all a quote and all out assault on civil
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: rights by opposing diversity, equity, and inclusion. Trump issued an
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: executive order within hours of taking office on January twentieth,
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: mandating an end to DEI efforts in the federal government,
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: which I thought was a very very good idea. The
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: notion that people get promoted, the notion that somehow your
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: genetic makeup, whatever sexuality you claim to be, the color
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: of your skin, somehow entitles you to favorability. And I
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: you know, you know a lot of people, Oh, well,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: you're a white guy. You don't have to you know,
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: you don't have to suffer any of those any of
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: those indignities any you know, you're you're not subject to
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: any of the the inequity that goes on now, it's
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: it's called meritocracy. And if if for instance, avake Ramaswami
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: is very big on the idea of meritocracy. But Hakim
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: Jeffries is out there and he too. Ian Kamala Harris
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: was at the Al Sharpton event the other day and
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: Hakem Jeffries is there. And by the way, I'll talk
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: about this in a minute. But Jeffries told the National
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: Attendees or the attendees at the National Action Network that
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: DEI was mandated by the fourteenth Amendment equal protection clause
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: mandated in the Constitution. According to Hakeem Jeffries, no matter
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: what these extremists are trying to do with all, they're
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: all out assault on civil rights, on voting, certainly on diversity,
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: equity and inclusion. We won't let these extremists get away
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: with lying to the American people. They want to suggest
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: that diversity, equity and inclusion are foreign values. They're not
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: foreign values, they're American values. So Hakeem Jeffries is suggesting
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: that somehow the notion of diversity, equity and inclusion is
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: guaranteed in the constriny. He says, let's check the record.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: The motto of this great country, e plurabus unhim. He says,
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: out of one mony, that's diversity. Well, mister Jeffries, it
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: may be diversity e plurabis unim, but not in the
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: way that you mean. It is a foundational ideal of America.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: Out of one many it's the melting pot. We were
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: all taught that in school. The national motto has been
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: around for roughly one hundred and seventy five years. When
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: Congress and when Congress is officially adopted in God we
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: Trust as a formal motto, the Constitution does not explicitly
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: mention any national motto. Instead, it uses language like we
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: the people and a more perfect union. So when you
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: talk about diversity, equity, and inclusion, the way you use
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: that is the notion that you have for the sake
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: of argument. You have a thousand different people with a
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: thousand different backgrounds, and we need to celebrate each and
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: every one of those backgrounds that somehow that diversity makes
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: us stronger. And we're supposed to have a thousand different
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: people with a thousand different agendas trying to reach a
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: thousand different ending points or a thousand different conclusions. How
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: is that strength? How does that further, the nation of
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: eplur assume them out of many one, that would make
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: it out of many, many many, or many more. The
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: idea of eplura bazunum out of many one is the
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: idea that out of many you have people come together
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: and coalesce around a single idea, around a single agenda,
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: around a single outcome. And that is the greatness of
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: America and what makes America strong, and that is principally freedom. Freedom.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with celebrating a different heritage. People come
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: from different places. But the way Hakim Jeffries wants to
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: address this is to keep people divided by concentrating on
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: those things that are dissimilar among us. And the notion
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: that we can all come together and work towards a single,
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: unified purpose is lost in the current diversion, or that
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: the current version I should say, of diversity, equity and inclusion,
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: so that this is just ultra divisive. I mean, you
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: had a president of the United States tell the American
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: people that he was going to pick someone be nominated
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: for the Supreme Court of the United States based on
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: genitalia and based on skin color, that those in his
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: mind were the two primary factors to pick a Supreme
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: Court justice. How in any way does that further the
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: notion of fairness further the notion of meritocracy that you
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: earn what you get. I don't think. I don't know
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: anyone who argues that there was a time in this
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: country when the playing field was not level. And there
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: may be some instances out there today where the playing
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: field is not level, But especially when it comes to
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: the government, I think the government has bent over backwards
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: and tried to do everything possible to guarantee that the
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: playing field is level. The billy to have opportunity is
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: the same for everyone, but for people like Hakeem Jeffries
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 2: and Kamala Harris, that's not good enough. They want the
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: outcomes guaranteed too, and that's where you run into problems.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 2: So yeah, out of many one, that's our national motto.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: It's not in the constitution, but that's our national model
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: epluribasoon out of many one. But if that's going to
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: represent strength or unity, then you need to be unified
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: when it comes to the idea of working together to
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: get to the desired outcome. Seven fifteen got to get
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: to a break and then on the other side of this,
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: we will engage in today's version of the Smith event
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: and we are all looking forward to that. Dan Carroll
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: and for Brian Thomas on fifty five KRC V talk Station.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: Hice by Thomas was Stan you from USA Installation USA

• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: talk station seven nineteen, Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas. And
• 1:19:13

• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: When Chris Smithman joins us and Chris Smithman, I hope
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: you had a great weekend, and welcome to fifty five KRC.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: How are you, sir.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 6: I'm good, Dan Carroll, Thanks for having me on. Brother,
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 6: always good to hear your voice. I've been listening to
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 6: the show and I just want to start off man,
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 6: just extending my condolences to Joe. He lost his father
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 6: and it's always tough so and his beautiful mother. They've
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 6: married sixty five years and we wrap our arms around Joe.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 6: So I just want to start there on.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: A somber note, outstanding before thank you, before.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 6: I get into my rant. You're welcome, brother. Look man,
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 6: I want to just rewind and this is important. Dan
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 6: Carroll on Issue twenty too. We've got to stay on
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 6: this like a dog on a bone. When city Hall
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 6: sold our railroad, Okay, I want to remind voters, and
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 6: I just posted it on X right, all of the literature,
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 6: this big pamphlet that the railroad sent out. They spent
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 6: over five million dollars on the campaign, more money ever
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 6: spent on any issue campaign in the history of the city. Okay,
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 6: so they were dropping literature from an airplane across our
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 6: fifty two neighborhoods. But this one piece of literature I
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 6: just put up on X at vote Smitherman, that shows
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 6: all of the promises that they said they were going
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 6: to do. What our infrastructure would look like, Dan Carroll,
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 6: if we just voted to sell three hundred miles and
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 6: our air rights. People don't even understand that our air
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 6: rights from here to Tennessee that we owned for one
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 6: hundred and forty four years. We elected a from Dayton,
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 6: Ohio who doesn't give a crap about the city of Cincinnati.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 6: How do we go one hundred and forty four years
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 6: owning a railroad and get a mayor that just says
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna divest from this asset it's great for USNA.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 6: We're gonna get one point six billion. Where did they
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 6: pull that number from. This is a guy that cannot
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 6: even balance his old checkbook. It is unusual to have
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 6: your car repod and it's insane for someone to go
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 6: before the cameras and say, I didn't know. No one
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 6: comes and takes your car without warning you. I'm coming
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 6: to get your car, and they repoll it right in
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 6: front of city hall. And this guy is the one
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 6: that's telling us, that's selling our railroad for one hundred
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 6: and forty four years that we own. We got one
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 6: point six billion present value.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 13: Dude.
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 6: Land is incredibly scarce. It's hard to get your hands
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 6: on it. You don't sell land that you own. It's
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 6: just a covenant. I'm a financial planner. It just is
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 6: a covenant. You don't throw away land, Dan Carroll. We
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 6: threw away three hundred miles of rail where we are
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 6: receiving lease payments, where we're negotiating inflation in that lease payment.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 6: Those dollars are coming to us in perpetuity. Right. This
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 6: is an annuity payment like a pension that we're getting
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 6: every thing go year. And that number would have hit
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 6: sixty million, people say, well, how do you know that,
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 6: Because when I started, we were in seventy million, and
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 6: when I'm listening to the agreement, we're at thirty six million.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 6: We would have been negotiating the agreement within a year
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 6: or two and would have jumped into the forties of millions,
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 6: and that contract would have taken us into the sixties
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 6: of millions. Every thing go year guarantee, and we would
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 6: have owned the land, Dan Carroll, we would have owned
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 6: all the air rights where in Alazon say I got
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 6: my drone. You're coming over our air right. You got
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 6: to start paying us lease payments too. We're in a
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 6: new world. And guess what. The railroad knew that. And
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 6: so they say, they got this three hundred miles and
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 6: I guarantee you they will be leasing out the air rights.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 6: They will collect the revenue that we would have been
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 6: collecting the revenue on. I am so frustrated with this
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 6: incompetent mayor, this incompetent counsel, this incompetent administration. And here's
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 6: the kicker, all the promises, all the lies that they
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 6: told us. Watch the railroad give contributions to the campaigns
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 6: of those who supported them out in the future, they'll
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 6: be running for Congress and you'll see, or they'll be
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 6: running for governor and you'll see the railroad give them
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 6: sixteen thousand dollars for their campaigns. Right, these are the
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 6: guys that sell as short and they don't call it corruption.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 6: You can't make a connection. Oh no, there's no connection
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 6: between the contribution that they're making to my campaign and
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 6: the deal that happened two years ago or a year ago.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 6: I am sick and tiredment. Here's the kicker you and
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 6: I know more plotholes. Our firehouses are still going to
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 6: be in trouble. Our rec centers are still going to
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 6: be in trouble. Pleasant Ridges are going to get some
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 6: extraordinary rec center that they promised on my ex on
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 6: my ex account, where they said, here are all the
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 6: things that we're going to do if you just vote
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 6: yes on twenty two. Now we're in the summer. Plotholes
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 6: are everywhere. We're all dodging them. We look like drunk
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 6: drivers out here. And if you'll blow out a tire,
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 6: you can't even call it in and get reimbursed because
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 6: you know it's not gonna happen. This is what bothers
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 6: me and when I put up the information on X
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 6: Here come the Democrats. Old Smitherman, what's your plan? My
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 6: plan was not to sell the railroad. Old Smitherman, what
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 6: are the answers that you had? Dan Carroll told you
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 6: this was a very bad deal. Now that it's unfolding
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 6: as a bad deal, now they want to say, Oh,
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 6: Smithman shouldn't be talking about this. This is really bad.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 6: You know, he really doesn't care about the city. It
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 6: says that, no, because they want to sell more things.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 6: They want to expand the street car, and they want
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 6: to tell us that's a good deal. They want to
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 6: sell our water. They want to tell us that's a
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 6: good deal. We cannot trust city Hall. Stop acting like
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 6: these guys care about us as they sell off every
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 6: freaking asset that we have.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 2: And of my bent, yeah, no, Well, we are getting
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 2: to the point to where we are running out of
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: things to sell. And I would direct people not only
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 2: to your ex post here where you show the list
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 2: of promises that were and none of these have come
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 2: about to my knowledge to this time. About all the
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: public services, the health, the recreation, all these things that
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 2: we're going to be addressed by this, to my understanding,
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 2: none of this has happened. I would also direct people
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 2: to the excellent piece that was posted a couple of
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: weeks ago by Adam Taylor in the Cincinnati Exchange talking
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 2: about the structural price problems with the rail deal and
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 2: how all these associated construction costs have gone up exponentially,
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 2: but the rate of return that we are getting on
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: that money is not keeping up with the instruction the
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 2: construction costs, and had we had the financial flexibility of
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: that railroad and everything that goes along with it, the
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: city would be in a much better look. I remember
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: I had you on the radio the day that I
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 2: heard about this exchange, this idea to sell the railroad.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: A lot of people didn't even know the Cincinnati owned
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: a railroad, but I knew it. You knew it, And
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 2: the moment I saw this, I said, I got to
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: get Chris Smithment on record on this. And you said
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 2: from day one that this was not a good idea,
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: and you in turns out you were right about it.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: So Chris Smithman, stay right there. We're going to hit
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 2: a quick break and we'll continue with the smith event
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: on the other side on fifty five K Talk Station two.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 3: That's the number of people who take the.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 2: De talk station fifty five KRC the talk station seven
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: point thirty one on this Monday morning, continuing with the
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 2: smither Vents. So, Chris, we heard about your take on
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: the railroad. What else do you have on your agenda
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 2: for this morning.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 6: Well, let's just let's just finish this up, okay, because
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 6: it's directly tied Dan Carroll to the other things they
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 6: are trying to do, meaning meaning we now know we
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 6: cannot trust him. If you just go on my ex
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 6: account and look at all of the things that they
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 6: promised they were going to do. And let me remind
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 6: your listening audience that they tried, meaning city Hall tried
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 6: to sell all of our parking. This was a big deal, right.
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 6: They would have had us look like Chicago, meaning we
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 6: would have had no control over the cost of parking.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 6: Parking is still high downtown, but imagine that we had
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 6: sold all fifty two neighborhoods of people could put a
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 6: meter right in front of your house, or they could
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 6: charge you a parking like you know, a residential parking
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 6: passes for guests to come and park in front of
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 6: your house in one of your fifty two neighborhoods, Minnie.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 6: That's what Chicago looks like right now. If you go
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 6: to anybody in Chicago and you say, man, what do
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 6: you think about parking costs? They would say that was
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 6: a terrible deal. But City Hall tried to sell off
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 6: our parking. You know how we stopped it. We collected signatures,
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 6: We got a petition, We collected the number of signatures
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 6: needed to put on the ballot, and it scared the
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 6: mess out of them. It made City Hall blink because
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 6: they knew that if it had hit the ballot, they
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 6: would have lost. Then John Cranley won, right, that was consequential.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 6: I also won. And there was a bond, the issuance
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 6: that had to happen prior to selling the parking, and
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 6: we stopped it. John Cranley I was there in the
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 6: room with Kevin Flynn. We worked it out and we
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 6: gave those who were supporting selling our parking the bad
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 6: news we will not issue the bonds, and that parking
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 6: deal died right there. But imagine if we had done that,
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 6: we would have lost full control of development and things
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 6: where our guests were coming in town. And then they
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 6: were also going to take control of all booting on
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 6: all cars to some third party that we didn't know,
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 6: and no one would have known where they were in
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 6: the world. The people that owned the parking in Cincinnati,
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 6: some hedge fund. We wouldn't have known anything about it.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 6: This is what's going on when you say in the
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 6: in the first part of the show, Cincinnati keeps trying
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 6: to sell off all of our assets. I want to
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 6: remind our community and your listening audience that they tried
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 6: to do it with parking and it's directly connected. Dan
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 6: Carroll is directly connected to all of these decisions of
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 6: the budget that we have now, the deficit, their their
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 6: anti police mentality, how they are handling any issue that comes.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 6: Let let's expand the street car. Trust me, it's a
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 6: good thing to go up Vine Street to the University
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 6: of Cincinnati. All of these things are very bad deals
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 6: for the citizens of Cincinnati. And I'm just trying to
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 6: figure out what happened in the November election. What's the
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 6: disconnect between the fifty two neighborhoods, what I see, what's
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 6: in my lens, and what they're seeing. It's not about
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 6: whether they elected me or anybody else. The point is,
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 6: how did eighty percent of people vote for these people.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 6: Guess what. Elections have consequences, and we're going to continue
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 6: to have these kinds of problems in our city if
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 6: we continue to elect people like this.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 2: Well, Chris Minnelman, this is something that's been going on
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 2: for a long time, and every time that we come
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 2: up to an election, we talk about the issues, We
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 2: try to get all the information out there we can.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 2: There are debates that are on TV, and it just
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: seems that it doesn't matter. I mean, when only what
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 2: was the number last election cycle, twenty percent, twenty one percent,
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 2: When only twenty one percent of those registered voters come
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 2: out to make their voices heard, then we are not
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 2: hearing all the voices of Cincinnati. And it's that it's
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 2: that small minority that is making the city run the
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 2: way it's that it's running. And I don't know, I
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: just keep wondering how far down the road we're going
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 2: to have to get with all these various issues before
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: enough people stand up and say this is not the way. Look, so,
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: we want Cincinnati to be a vibrant, great, robust city,
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 2: and the way we're going right now is nowhere near
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: the direction that we need to go to make all
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 2: those things come to pass. Chris, mind, go ahead.
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 6: And Dan, when we pivot back and we come back.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 6: The reason this is important in the event is we're
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 6: right in the middle of a May primary. So this
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 6: is a great pivot into what do we need to
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 6: be thinking about and voting in this election coming up
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 6: in May. We're in a May primary. Are we going
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 6: to sit on the sidelines again in the city of Cincinnati,
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 6: in in our region or are we going to stand
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 6: up and say no, no, no, We're going to put
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 6: up a good team to run in November. And why
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 6: I'm supporting vek Ramaswami for Governor.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 2: Chris Smitheman stay right there, We'll get in one more
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 2: break and continue with the Smith event on fifty five
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 2: KRC the talk stations.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 9: Nobody ever cast a vote for.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 2: Amy fifty five KRC the Talk station, Dan Carroll for
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 2: Brian Thomas. Chris Smitheman joining us as he does every
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: Monday morning for the Smith event. And Chris, let me
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 2: ask you this. I think about all the serious problems
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 2: that Cincinnati is facing right now. You've got about what
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 2: thirty million in a budget deficit. You've got more millions
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 2: and unfunded liabilities. You've got potential huge payments coming out
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 2: to the former police chief in them and the fire
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 2: chief and all this other stuff going on. And the
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 2: headline that I see coming out of City Council and
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 2: City Hall last week is that City Council has now
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 2: established it's first in the state of Ohio lgbt Q
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 2: a I plus commission. So I guess at least we
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 2: have that to hang our hat on.
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 6: Well, for me, you know, again, I support the lgbt
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 6: Q plus community. And this is this is this is
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 6: not about whether they have a commission or not. What
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 6: you're pointing out is we have serious problems that we
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 6: need to be getting our arms around. Why are they
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 6: focused on these what we would call wedge issues. It's
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 6: because it's election times. We're moving into a primary. This
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 6: is what the Democrats do. This is a this is
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 6: a strategic move on their part in order to garner
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 6: the support of those who are either supportive of the
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 6: LGBTQ plus community as I am, or to literally the
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 6: community themselves to say vote for our candidates, vote our
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 6: Democratic ticket. Here's what somebody just put up on my
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 6: ex account. Issue seven raised a county sales tax from
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 6: seven to seven point eight percent. The issue was advertised
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 6: using a reduction in the city's earning tax from two
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 6: point one to one point eight. The mayor now wants
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 6: to raise the city earning tax. There is no trust. See,
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 6: this was the deal that we cut regarding Metro in
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 6: the bus system. I was a part of it because
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 6: John Cranley was the mayor. Now you have a mayor
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 6: that says I want to bust that agreement that we had.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 6: We cut an agreement with the voters to lower our
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 6: income tax. And here comes the mayor saying, we can't
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 6: balance our budget, but we're gonna turn around to give
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 6: Irish Rollie six hundred and fifty thousand in a contract.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 6: We're gonna turn around and give her another five hundred
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 6: and fifty thousand a year ago one point three million dollars.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 6: We're gonna give money over here to some music venue
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 6: of eight point one We're gonna go and settle a
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 6: case for people who are riding in our downtown for
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 6: eight point one million. We've got a police chief and
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 6: a fire chief that hang in the balance. You and
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 6: I know that's gonna cost us another five million dollars.
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 6: And we give the city manager a wonderful evaluation. He's
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 6: just doing a great job. Don't look over here. This
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 6: is what's wrong with city hall. Brother. I'm saying to you,
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 6: anything that comes from this city Hall, all of us
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 6: should be looking at it suspiciously. That is ultimately what
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 6: you're putting before me. You're saying, Smitherman, why are they
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 6: focused on this LGBTQ plus thing because they want to
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 6: distract us from all of the other craziness that they're
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 6: doing or not doing. I love Cincinnati. I went to
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 6: the School for Creative and Performing Arts. My playground was
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 6: downtown because that's where the school was located. So I'm
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 6: the former vice mayor, former chair of Law and Public Safety.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 6: I'm appointed by the governor three or four times on
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 6: statewide commission. I know what I'm talking about, and I
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 6: am frustrated with this mayor and this council that continue
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 6: to focus on trying to get elected to something else.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 6: They now want to be the county commissioner. We got
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 6: a mayor that wants to go to Washington, he wants
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 6: to be a congressional member. They're spending more time in
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 6: DC anywhere else, but focusing on the business of the
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 6: City of Cincinnati, and I think, Dan Carroll, we're just
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 6: going to see more of this as the weather gets
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 6: hotter and the violence starts accelerating. They have no plans.
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 6: They have no comprehensive plan. You and I know that
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 6: now that the weather is going into the eighty degree
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 6: that we know what is going to happen in our city.
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 6: The blood bath is on and guess what. Where's the mayor,
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 6: where's the council, Where's the Chair of Law and Public Safety?
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 6: Where's the press conferences? Where are the where's the plan
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 6: working with atf the FBI, working with all of our
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 6: legal teams, whether it's the Sheriff's department, whether it's working
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 6: with the governor bringing his assets in. We've got the
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 6: music festival coming up, We've got the Day Pride Parade
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 6: coming up, We've got October fifth. Where are the plans?
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 6: We saw what just happened that opening day. I'm saying
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 6: to you, they're going to continue to focus on the
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 6: things that you raise. Let's have a commission for LGBTQ plus.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 6: That might be a great thing, But I'm letting you
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 6: know they're trying to distract us as we go into
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 6: the may primary because they don't want to focus on
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 6: the issues that I'm describing in front of them.
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 2: Well, that's just it. If look, if you want to
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 2: put a commission together for this sort of thing, knock
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 2: yourself out. But ken is it too much to ask
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 2: that you deal with these other issues in a serious
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 2: and a meaningful way. And based on recent history, it
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 2: certainly appears that it is too much to ask. And
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 2: whenever I hear any of these city council members on
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 2: the radio or see them on TV, it seems like
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: they all say the same thing. Well, we're really not
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 2: really sure what's going on at city Hall. We're just
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: waiting for the city manager or waiting for the mayor
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 2: or someone to give us some direction and then we'll
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 2: vote on something. It seems like it's the same song
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 2: and dance every single time. Chris, do you have time
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 2: for one more segment?
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 6: I do?
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 2: Brother, All right, brother, stay right there and we'll hit
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 2: that right after this. On fifty five station, fifty five
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 2: KRC DE talk station. Every Monday morning, the Smither vent
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 2: is happening on fifty five KRC, and I know I
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 2: try to listen to it every Monday morning, and I'm
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 2: sure you do too. And Chris Smitherman, let me ask
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 2: you a question. I was talking a little bit earlier
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 2: about Hakeem Jeffries, and he's complaining about diversity, equity and
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 2: inclusion and saying that somehow it's written in the Constitution.
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 2: And he was at the event that was hosted by
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 2: Al Sharpton, and Al Sharpton is now saying that it
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 2: would be crazy for black people to celebrate America's two
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 2: hundred and fiftieth anniversary. And now I guess he's calling
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 2: for some sort of counter celebration or something that is
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 2: only going to involve black people in this country. How
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 2: does that, how does that serve to further our national
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 2: reckoning or celebrate America the way America should be celebrated.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 2: When you have a guy like this, it's telling black
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 2: people that, hey, you let you know, let those white
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 2: people celebrate two hundred and fifty years and we just
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 2: stay out of it.
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 6: Listen, I'll be celebrating the two hundred and fifty years.
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 6: I recommend that anybody in our country who's an American
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 6: to celebrate it and not to listen to that nonsense.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 6: And those people benefit, meaning the people you're talking about
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 6: like Al Sharpton. He's a multi multi multi millionaire right
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 6: off all of these issues. He's become incredibly wealthy off
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 6: of it. Let me say this to you, Dan Carroll,
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 6: because I'm on your your ex page Daniel with one
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 6: with two L's car ar fifty four nine to sixty three,
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 6: and one of the posts you put up was regarding
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 6: birthright citizenships. This is directly connected to the Al Sharpton
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 6: conversation because Dred Scott was a free slave fought for
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 6: by Republican lawyers, meaning he traveled somewhere in the United States.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 6: I believe it was Saint Louis and he said, listen,
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 6: I'm now free. It had nothing to do with people
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 6: entering our country illegally and having a baby and declaring
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 6: them an American citizen. Period. And so what you have
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 6: are liberal Democrats. Listen, Black Americans who are listening to
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 6: this show right now. Here's where you have liberal Democrats
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 6: who are pimping out our history, pimping out our tragedy
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 6: of here. Dreadscott, a free slave, fought for his own
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 6: freedom right as an American, his American rights. He didn't
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 6: come from some other place illegally. He didn't cross the
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 6: border have a baby. He said, I am enslaved, but
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 6: I'm free. And he fought and he fought, and we
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 6: had a Supreme Court. I think it was seven to two,
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 6: could be wrong about it. Maybe it was six'. Three
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 6: but The democrats that were, there The dixiecrats who are
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 6: a part of The Supreme, court said guess, What, Dreadscot
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 6: you're still a. Slave even though These republican lawyers right
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 6: were fighting for his freedom. Period that's why we celebrate
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 6: two hundred and fifty years because we are understand That
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 6: lincoln freed us with an executive order called The Emancipation.
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 6: Proclamation we know that the Fourteenth amendment was about us
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 6: and our freedom period passed By. Republicans it always kills
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 6: me when people come to Me carol and, said, man you're.
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 6: BLACKING i can't believe that of, that you sound like A.
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 6: Republican it Was republicans that freed my great great. Grandmother
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 6: that's why she's. Free that's WHY i had the opportunity
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 6: to come up in a great country like, this make
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 6: as much money AS i want to as a. Stockbroker,
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 6: right live a good. Life send my daughter To Seaton
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 6: i'm on the backs of those giants that worked in
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 6: those cotton fields right and fought like Dred scott not
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 6: to wake up and see The Supreme court trying to
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 6: apply our worst moments of our freedom as we fought
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 6: to people who are coming here, illegally dropping a baby
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 6: and then saying they are An. American shame on The
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 6: Democrat party for pimping out the black community and using
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 6: Dread scott as their. Story come to our country, illegally,
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 6: illegally and we love. You. Period we want people to
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 6: immigrate to The United states Of. America Black americans aren't against,
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 6: that but we do not support people coming here. Illegally
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 6: in the last, point make it very clear it is
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 6: not illegal for somebody to show an identification to vote
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 6: in Our american. Elections somebody Tell Al sharpton on the
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 6: two hundred and fifty years that has nothing to do
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 6: With Jim. Crow those were the policies of The dixicrats
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 6: of The, south not The republicans who were fighting for Dred, scott.
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 6: Period these were The democrats who were pushing against our freedom,
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 6: right those who said we would never be able to
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 6: attend public. Schools those Weren't. Republicans those Were. Democrats those
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 6: who said we would never be able to ride a,
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 6: bus those Were. Democrats so don't ask ask me WHY
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 6: i sound like A republican AS i am an. Independent
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 6: you know, why Because i'm, Free Because i'm an educated
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 6: Black american who understands his history and understands who exactly
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 6: freed my great great. Grandmother it wasn't The democrats who did.
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 6: It it was The Republican.
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 2: Party well you sound to, Me chris smitheman like a
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 2: guy who has for a long time now have the
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 2: ability to think for. Himself AND i think so many
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 2: people Like Al, sharpton and like so Many, democrats who
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 2: find themselves in positions of, power they want to convey
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 2: this notion that you and others like you are not
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 2: able to think for, yourself not able to do for,
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 2: yourself not able to take the steps required to be
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 2: able to register to vote in this. Country should we
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 2: have any sort of qualification for that. Whatsoever so it's
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 2: just it is another the WAY i see, it another
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 2: form of racism that continues to persist in this, country
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 2: and it helps to keep the grievance industry alive and
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 2: put money in the pockets of people Like Al. Sharpen
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 2: But Chris millaman, Leave we can. Leave on that, Note

• 1:52:37
  Speaker 2: how great of an Organization tunnel To towers, is and
• 1:52:40

  Speaker 2: five cents out of every dollar goes to the mission
• 1:52:47

• 1:53:14
  Speaker 2: lot of people in the nonprofit world who could maybe

• 1:57:23
  Speaker 2: Chris smithman for referring to something THAT I it was
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 2: a repost THAT i put. OUT i believe it was
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 2: either late last night or or this, morning but it
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 2: was talking About Justice. Alito and the post is This Justice,
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 2: alito and this to my way of thinking this is just,
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 2: brilliant brilliant analysis of the whole idea of birthright citizenship
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 2: and The Fourteenth amendment And Justice, alito according to The,
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 2: post here exposed the core flaw in the unlimited birthrights
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 2: in The in unlimited Birthright citizenship during The Supreme court,
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 2: Arguments alito hammered the key question if anyone who sneaks
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 2: into The United states illegally can have a child here
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 2: and automatically grant that Child american citizenship will full rights
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 2: and no allegiance, required then who really controls who becomes a?
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 2: Citizen is it the country or the people who break
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 2: our laws to get? Here this isn't just a legal.
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 2: Technicality it's about Whether america still has the sovereign right
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 2: to decide its own, future or if The Fourteenth amendment
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 2: has been twisted into an open violation that collapses our
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 2: entire immigration. System alito's questioning cuts straight to the. Heart
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 2: in a world of eight billion pep one plane flight
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 2: away from The United states soil automatic citizenship regardless of lawful,
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 2: presence where loyalty turns The constitution into a suicide. Pact
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 2: does The United states control its citizenship or does it
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 2: surrender that power to illegal. Entrance and how great of
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 2: a question is, THAT.
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 15: I?
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 2: Mean and he is absolutely one hundred percent right about.
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 2: That america is a sovereign, nation as are other countries
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 2: around the. World and we hear that argument by The
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 2: left time and time and time. Again, well you're invading
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 2: this sovereign. Nation they don't have any right to do. That,
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 2: well what About american sovereignty just because a portion of
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 2: that sovereignty was surrendered by The biden administration when he
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 2: declared the southern border to be opened all and anyone
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 2: who wanted a cross could come, across seek, asylum get
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 2: a notice from the federal government to show up at
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 2: a hearing two or three or ten years, hence and
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 2: then be free to run around the country with no worries,
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 2: whatsoever free to run around the, country free to, procreate
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 2: free to have, babies and then all of a, sudden
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 2: through some sort of, miracle that person who was in
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 2: the country illegally has offspring that is granted full. Citizenship and,
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 2: so As i've been trying to argue my point about birthright,
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 2: CITIZENSHIP i look at what the Fourteenth amendment. SAYS a
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 2: lot of people stop when you get to the point
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 2: talking about persons who are born in The United states Of.
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 2: America but that phrase goes on to say and subject
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 2: to the jurisdiction. Thereof so when you are here, illegally And,
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 2: ALITO i believe makes this point really without saying so
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 2: here that you are not subject to the jurisdiction. Thereof
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 2: because you are here, illegally you are not a citizen
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 2: of The United, states just because you step foot on our.
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 2: Soil and, therefore if you have a baby under those,
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 2: conditions that baby cannot be granted citizenship because then who
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 2: controls the policy in The United states of? Citizenship is
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 2: it the, country is It america as a sovereign, nation
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 2: or is it anyone who wants to cross our border
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 2: illegally and have a. Baby does that put them in?
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 2: Control and when you look at the reality of what's
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 2: been going on with birthright citizenship and chain migration and
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 2: all the rest of, it we have in many ways
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 2: surrendered that sovereign right to look after our own future
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 2: to those who would come into this country illegally and have.
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 2: Kids and SO i want to Thank CHRIS SMITHM i
• 2:02:41

  Speaker 2: this very, subject about how this has been a long
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 2: term plan by some very Rich chinese. FOLKS i guess
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 2: Some chinese. Oligarchs you, know you would Think Bernie sanders

• 2:05:04
  Speaker 2: guess you, know, women because unless men can have, babies

  Speaker 2: unless we're going down that, road but sending people over
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 2: here having babies and those babies HAVE us, citizenship and
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 2: then taking them back To china and doctrinating them and
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 2: coming back here for whatever purpose they see. Fit so,
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 2: yeah this is a. No you're absolutely. Right this has
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 2: been a plan that has been in the works for
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 2: a long long, time right under our. Nose and of
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 2: course it is aided and embedded by Liberal democrats who
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 2: want to bestow birthright citizenship upon anyone who was born
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 2: in this. Country and it just we Have Donald trump
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 2: is right to try and stop. This it IS i

• 2:06:06
  Speaker 2: On totally different subject? HERE i saw this this morning
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 2: WHEN i was perusing the different, websites And Mark wahlberg
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 2: says they have a script for a movie About Pete.
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 2: Rose So Mark wahlberg announced it on his podcast that
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 2: he's working on a movie about the hit King Pete.
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 2: Rose he died In september of twenty. Four they talked
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 2: about the film on his podcast hosted By Matt liinhart

• 2:07:35
  Speaker 2: that much. Attention BUT i Like Mark, wahlberg and if
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 2: he does a to my way of, thinking if he
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 2: does a movie On Pete, Rose i'm gonna have to
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 2: ask that he finds someone else to Play Pete. ROSE
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 2: i don't Think Mark, wahlberg to my way of, thinking

  Speaker 2: A pete AND i will go see A Pete rose.
