2:32
Speaker 1: Jay Ratliffe, got quite a few things to go over
2:34
Speaker 1: with Jay Ratliffe, and I thoroughly enjoy those conversations each
2:37
Speaker 1: and every week on Thursday. Thank you as always the
2:40
Speaker 1: Joe Strecker, executive producer of the fifty five Carcy Morning Show,
2:42
Speaker 1: for lining up the guests and uh well cracking me up. Yep.
2:48
Speaker 1: It's an important thing, humor, and Joe's the humor is
2:54
Speaker 1: a guy. There is no question about that. Nihow that
2:57
Speaker 1: wasn't really quite sure where to thok where to start?
3:00
Speaker 1: All right? I In the six o'clock hour, I understand
3:02
Speaker 1: the Walnut High School had an anti ice walkout. Apparently
3:07
Speaker 1: three to four hundred students decided it was better to
3:09
Speaker 1: walk out and protest ice then go to school. Got
3:14
Speaker 1: a few comments on that, and I want to save
3:16
Speaker 1: that for the six o'clock hour. Maybe got a comment
3:18
Speaker 1: or two on that. Feel free. But while they're out
3:22
Speaker 1: protesting ICE, Tom Homan announced that they're drawing down federal
3:26
Speaker 1: agents from Minnesota. How can they do this? Does this
3:29
Speaker 1: mean it's a capitulation to the left winger screaming in
3:32
Speaker 1: the streets. Not quite. I think the revolution of the
3:36
Speaker 1: drawing down of federal agents from Minnesota is a reflection
3:39
Speaker 1: of oh local law enforcement cooperation, at least based upon
3:42
Speaker 1: what Tom Holman said the other day. Yes, the borders
3:45
Speaker 1: are announce he was drawing down several hundred I think
3:48
Speaker 1: it was seven hundred total agents from Minnesota. Why sighting
3:54
Speaker 1: talks between the Trump administration, Governor Tim Walt's Attorney General
3:59
Speaker 1: Keith Ellison, and Anneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry which have resulted
4:04
Speaker 1: in securing cooperation with ICE agents and local law enforcement,
4:08
Speaker 1: notably the jails. How about that? You mean all you
4:12
Speaker 1: need to do is agree to hand over the criminal
4:15
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants from your jails directly to ICE agents, and
4:18
Speaker 1: we can avoid this problem of all these people on
4:21
Speaker 1: the streets because you let them out. Yes, I've had
4:29
Speaker 1: productive discussions with state and local officials, including the governor
4:32
Speaker 1: of the Attorney General, Mayor of Fry, law enforcement officials
4:34
Speaker 1: about increasing coordination in a lawful way between the county
4:41
Speaker 1: jails and ICE to avoid public safety threats being released
4:45
Speaker 1: back into the community. Now bear in mind, you are
4:50
Speaker 1: you know the truth. I know the truth, and everybody
4:53
Speaker 1: behind the scenes knows the truth. It's impossible to defend
4:58
Speaker 1: letting out. Let's use the worst case scenario examples. Some
5:02
Speaker 1: illegal immigrant didn't go through the legal process of being here,
5:08
Speaker 1: didn't get a green car, didn't apply for citizenship. You know,
5:11
Speaker 1: someone who came across the border without permission, then committed
5:16
Speaker 1: a crime against the citizen of the United States of
5:18
Speaker 1: America or literally anybody else while they were here, a
5:20
Speaker 1: crime for which they had due process, a sentence, and
5:24
Speaker 1: went to jail guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Since they
5:30
Speaker 1: have a bunch of child molesters who have been identified
5:33
Speaker 1: after having been convicted beyond a reasonable doubt, they're in
5:36
Speaker 1: the jail, let's focus on them, shall we A molester
5:40
Speaker 1: of children? Now, unless you're a pedophile and you want
5:45
Speaker 1: to try to defend that fault, go ahead, feel free
5:47
Speaker 1: to call me up and try to defend your perversion.
5:50
Speaker 1: He twisted, miserable piece of excrement, So no one's on
5:54
Speaker 1: the side of those people. You have a way to
5:59
Speaker 1: get him out of the country and not subject your
6:03
Speaker 1: children to potential of being molested. Because time and time again,
6:06
Speaker 1: how many studies are out there to show that these
6:09
Speaker 1: twisted perverts cannot get rid of their perversion. You know,
6:11
Speaker 1: all the counseling in the world, they're still drawn sexually
6:15
Speaker 1: to little kids. That is a permanent problem for your
6:19
Speaker 1: neighborhood if one of them's living there. Huh, you mean
6:24
Speaker 1: there's a law on the books that could kick this
6:25
Speaker 1: guy out of the country, because well, he shouldn't have
6:27
Speaker 1: been here in the first place, and is demonstrated we
6:30
Speaker 1: can't trust him because he's molested children for which he
6:33
Speaker 1: has been convicted beyond a reasonable doubt. I think somebody
6:37
Speaker 1: needs to contact ICE and let them know we're getting
6:40
Speaker 1: ready to let this guy out because he's done the
6:42
Speaker 1: time he was ordered to serve. Simple Yes, a solution
6:46
Speaker 1: to a broader, long term problem. Absolutely, something that even
6:51
Speaker 1: the most crazy, nut case lunatic leftists would have to
6:54
Speaker 1: admit is a great thing if you get him in
6:57
Speaker 1: a quarter and can read their mind, yes inside going yeah,
7:00
Speaker 1: I do want that guy out of the neighborhood. But
7:02
Speaker 1: he's because he's causing me a problem with my broader
7:05
Speaker 1: philosophy of just well this open borders and don't throw
7:08
Speaker 1: out anybody for any reason. Now, I'm sorry, you run
7:11
Speaker 1: into a real train wreck of logic and reason when
7:14
Speaker 1: you try to defend keeping these people in our country.
7:19
Speaker 1: Holman said, we currently have an unprecedented number of counties
7:22
Speaker 1: communicating with US now allowing ICE to take custody of
7:27
Speaker 1: illegal aliens before they hit the streets. Unprecedented cooperation. Huh.
7:34
Speaker 1: We are not requiring jails to hold people past their
7:37
Speaker 1: normal release times. We're not asking anyone to be in
7:40
Speaker 1: immigration officers. We're not asking any state or local official
7:45
Speaker 1: to do immigration enforcement activity. They are not by merely
7:51
Speaker 1: notifying us before they release them. Well a then to that.
7:58
Speaker 1: It's a simple ask. It's a logical and reasonable ask.
8:04
Speaker 1: It's sort of the legitimate exception to the sanctuary state
8:09
Speaker 1: slash city policy. Isn't it all right? We're a sanctuary
8:12
Speaker 1: state in city, but that's only going to apply to
8:14
Speaker 1: people who haven't demonstrated themselves to be outright criminals. We're
8:20
Speaker 1: going to make an exception to our outright flat blanket
8:23
Speaker 1: don't export or don't deport anyone. It's a little astis
8:30
Speaker 1: on our philosophy because more and more people realize that
8:35
Speaker 1: our left wing philosophy and not kicking anybody out regardless
8:37
Speaker 1: of circumstance is insane, he said. Giving the increase in
8:45
Speaker 1: unprecedented collaboration that would be between ICE and law enforcement
8:49
Speaker 1: locally in Minneapolis, I've announced, effective immediately, we will draw
8:53
Speaker 1: down seven hundred law enforcement enforcement personnel effective today. That
8:57
Speaker 1: was yesterday. The President fully attends to achieve mass deportations
9:02
Speaker 1: during the administration, and immigrant and for immigration enforcement actions
9:05
Speaker 1: will continue every day throughout this country. He said that
9:09
Speaker 1: smart law enforcement is the administration's goal, not less law enforcement.
9:16
Speaker 1: Smart well, actually the point being you need less law
9:19
Speaker 1: enforcement officers if you're getting cooperation between the federal government
9:24
Speaker 1: doing its job enforcing federal immigration laws and local enforcement,
9:28
Speaker 1: which you know, again it's not local law enforcement's job
9:32
Speaker 1: to do the work of ICE agents, but local law
9:37
Speaker 1: enforcement the front line of our community safety, our communities.
9:41
Speaker 1: If you're a local law enforcement officer you're like, huh,
9:45
Speaker 1: maybe that'll be one less police run. I've got to
9:47
Speaker 1: go on, if we kick this illegal immigrant out of
9:49
Speaker 1: the country, because well the guy's a criminal, that's progress.
9:58
Speaker 1: So go ahead and take your whistle and blow it
9:59
Speaker 1: in the street, and blow it really hard for the
10:04
Speaker 1: pedophile that you're trying to keep in our country, losing
10:08
Speaker 1: side of the argument. Five one, three, seven four nine
10:12
Speaker 1: hundred eight two three talk pound five fifty on AT
10:14
Speaker 1: and T phones, stick around, lot's talk about love. Hearing
10:17
Speaker 1: from you. If there's one of the topics on my
10:18
Speaker 1: list here you want to talk about, maybe you we'll
10:20
Speaker 1: do that. Either way, I'll find something to talk about.
10:23
Speaker 1: Coming back, don't go away. This is fifty five krc
10:26
Speaker 1: AN iHeartRadio Station, fifty five KRCD Talk station Friday E
10:33
Speaker 1: Happy one to you. Bunk calls are always welcome, and
10:37
Speaker 1: weep not anybody feel badly about the UN running out
10:41
Speaker 1: of cash. Critic of the not of Nations I am
10:46
Speaker 1: and seems to me doing nothing. You know all these
10:47
Speaker 1: global conflicts and you would think, hmm, United Nations, what's
10:51
Speaker 1: its mission? Do you think they should be involved or
10:52
Speaker 1: engaged in?
10:53
Speaker 4: Oh?
10:53
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe de escalating the potential for war,
10:56
Speaker 1: stopping genocide. Who knows where are the powder blue uniformed
11:02
Speaker 1: soldiers from the United Nations when you need them? Anyway,
11:06
Speaker 1: Pick your own favorite story about how you can criticize
11:08
Speaker 1: the United Nations. Yesterday, UN Secretary General Antonio guitaraz he's
11:12
Speaker 1: warning the member states of the United Nations, all of
11:15
Speaker 1: them about the eminent financial collapse. One hundred and ninety
11:21
Speaker 1: three member states, according to the I guess the charter
11:25
Speaker 1: UN found in nineteen forty five, working to maintain international peace.
11:29
Speaker 1: See there's that peace word, security, promotion of human rights.
11:33
Speaker 1: Except when it comes to like the weager population in China.
11:36
Speaker 1: We're just gonna overlook that because China, you know, with
11:38
Speaker 1: the veto power, with the UN, very powerful nation with
11:41
Speaker 1: one point four to five billion people, we're just gonna
11:44
Speaker 1: let them go. We're gonna pick on somebody smaller. Foster
11:48
Speaker 1: social and economic development coordinates, humanitarian aid. I don't know
11:52
Speaker 1: if any of that ever gets done, but it is
11:53
Speaker 1: a laughable proposition. When you think about the what they
11:56
Speaker 1: pick and choose to focus on, you'll be critical of
11:59
Speaker 1: the United or the United States being oh, I don't know,
12:01
Speaker 1: in their mind a racist nation. But then again, when
12:03
Speaker 1: you look at the Chinese Communist Party and the oppression of,
12:06
Speaker 1: for example, the weaker people, a bit racist that. Anyway,
12:14
Speaker 1: of course, we are the main contributor to the US funding.
12:16
Speaker 1: He says. The crisis is deepening, threatening program delivery, risking
12:19
Speaker 1: financial collapse, and the situation will deteriorate further in the
12:23
Speaker 1: near future. We have slashed our funding the UN agencies.
12:27
Speaker 1: We've refused to make mandatory payments to regular peacekeeping budgets.
12:30
Speaker 1: Trump describe the UN as having great potential but not
12:33
Speaker 1: fulfilling what it's set up to fulfill. We contribute, it's
12:38
Speaker 1: actually contributions based on the size of your country. We
12:41
Speaker 1: account for twenty two percent of the core budget, China
12:44
Speaker 1: right behind US at twenty percent. Apparently, by the end
12:49
Speaker 1: of last year, there was a record one point five
12:51
Speaker 1: seven billion dollars outstanding dues according to the According to Gataz,
12:56
Speaker 1: he said, either all member states onto their obligations to
12:58
Speaker 1: pay in full and on time. Our member states must
13:02
Speaker 1: fundamentally overhaul our financial rules and to prevent an eminent
13:06
Speaker 1: financial collapse. According to UN, we US currently two point
13:12
Speaker 1: one to nine billion to the regular UN budget another
13:14
Speaker 1: one point eight eight billion for what they call active
13:17
Speaker 1: peacekeeping missions, and add on to that five hundred and
13:19
Speaker 1: twenty eight million for past peacekeeping missions. I'd love to
13:25
Speaker 1: know what those peacekeeping missions are, though the article didn't
13:27
Speaker 1: describe them, because I would like to see whether the
13:29
Speaker 1: UN actually accomplished anything on the positive side of the ledger. Yeah,
13:34
Speaker 1: you went on a peacekeeping mission. How did that turn out?
13:36
Speaker 1: Where's your success rate on that one? Where are we
13:39
Speaker 1: getting a return on our multi billion dollar investment? Anyhow
13:46
Speaker 1: we for it if you choose to. I am not.
13:48
Speaker 1: Let's see what Jay's got this morning. Jay, I was
13:50
Speaker 1: thinking all about you this morning. Welcome back to the
13:53
Speaker 1: Morning Show. I recommend you look at Kim Strassel's article
13:56
Speaker 1: in the Wall Street Journal. Gop Porka Halls earmarks or
14:01
Speaker 1: back baby big Ley. Jay, good to hear from me
14:05
Speaker 1: this morning. Happy Friday, Eve, Good.
14:07
Speaker 5: Morning, Brian. I will certainly do that. Not surprised, but
14:11
Speaker 5: I'm glad that the news is getting out that this
14:13
Speaker 5: Republican Party is not going to be our savior on
14:16
Speaker 5: the spending problem. That is the biggest problem that we've
14:18
Speaker 5: got to highlight that and to get back on one of
14:22
Speaker 5: my topics, which is the football tax, which is that
14:25
Speaker 5: hidden tax that NFL towns pay. I think last year
14:30
Speaker 5: we had a problem with snow removal in Cincinnati, did
14:32
Speaker 5: we not?
14:32
Speaker 1: We did?
14:33
Speaker 6: I think we equipped?
14:34
Speaker 5: Yes, So recently our friends over in Pittsburgh. Now, remember
14:37
Speaker 5: these NFL teams, the reason they get all the subsidies
14:40
Speaker 5: is all the economic development, all of the growth that
14:43
Speaker 5: we get. This year was Pittsburgh's turn. They had snow
14:48
Speaker 5: coming down over there, and by the time they started
14:51
Speaker 5: to clean it up, I think it was thirty five
14:53
Speaker 5: of their ninety snowplows were broken. I did a little
14:58
Speaker 5: bit of research. City of PITTSB in Allegheny County gives
15:01
Speaker 5: thirteen and a half million to the Pittsburgh Steelers every
15:04
Speaker 5: year for twenty five years. A snowplowl costs two hundred
15:07
Speaker 5: thousand bucks, so they could have replaced sixty eight trucks
15:12
Speaker 5: every year just for twenty five years priorities. And yeah,
15:19
Speaker 5: so you know, whenever we now, if you add up
15:21
Speaker 5: thirteen and a half million for twenty five years, that
15:23
Speaker 5: kind of three hundred million, which is still half of
15:26
Speaker 5: what we just gave the Cleveland Browns. Yeah, so everybody
15:31
Speaker 5: that's you know, in these NFL towns and everybody that
15:34
Speaker 5: likes all of the money going to these towns, this
15:37
Speaker 5: is the trade off when you run out of money
15:40
Speaker 5: and you don't have snowplows that you have. You know,
15:42
Speaker 5: in our Cincinnati's got a big, beautiful stadium which allowed
15:45
Speaker 5: them to go purchase the most expensive player in NFL history,
15:48
Speaker 5: Joe Burrows, who now wants to be traded. That's really
15:51
Speaker 5: working out well for the town. But saying that this
15:55
Speaker 5: is this is the trade off when the snow can't
15:57
Speaker 5: get removed and the streets can't get paved. Just enjoy
16:00
Speaker 5: watching your football and understand that that's a trade off.
16:04
Speaker 5: There's only so much.
16:05
Speaker 7: To go around.
16:05
Speaker 1: I wonder if anybody's crunched the numbers on the loss
16:08
Speaker 1: of revenue as a consequence of snow. You know, likesus
16:12
Speaker 1: versus how much the NFL claims any given stadium generates
16:16
Speaker 1: by way of revenue for any given town in which
16:18
Speaker 1: they sit.
16:19
Speaker 5: You know, you no, No, it's just all upside, Brian,
16:21
Speaker 5: It's just all upside. They can't really ever come up
16:25
Speaker 5: with a number, but it's big. Trust me, we just
16:28
Speaker 5: have and I've got property tax I got to pay.
16:31
Speaker 5: There's the local school tax. With that big beautiful stadium,
16:34
Speaker 5: we have this Ohio state handing out money to all
16:37
Speaker 5: you know, Ohio State University. So your state tax is
16:40
Speaker 5: paying for all the football programs. Formerly universities now football programs.
16:45
Speaker 5: So this football tax adds up people. So when you
16:47
Speaker 5: stroke your property tax and seventy percent of that goes
16:50
Speaker 5: to schools and most of that goes to football, and
16:52
Speaker 5: on and on and on. Just you know, think about
16:54
Speaker 5: your football tax whatever you do. And Tom, I've been Tolinklin.
16:59
Speaker 5: Don't vote Rhino. This Republican party, well, keep a closer
17:03
Speaker 5: eye on them than the Democrats, and don't vote Democrats.
17:05
Speaker 6: I have a good day, Brian to Jay.
17:07
Speaker 1: Appreciate hearing from you. Five one three seven, eight hundred
17:10
Speaker 1: and eighty two to three talk. We'll go phone calls
17:12
Speaker 1: or local stories. Hope you can stick around five twenty nine,
17:16
Speaker 1: Happy Friday, e thanks again. Everybody should have listener lunch yesterday.
17:19
Speaker 1: I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Oh and for those keeping track
17:22
Speaker 1: at home, and I'm sure there's like maybe one person
17:24
Speaker 1: who is and that will be cribbage Mike. I lost
17:26
Speaker 1: to my uh my retired submarine or friend by two points.
17:31
Speaker 1: Congratulations Mike. We were right there at the two point line,
17:33
Speaker 1: and of course he beat me on the initial count.
17:38
Speaker 1: That happens. Let's see what Tom Scott this morning? Eight Tom,
17:40
Speaker 1: Happy Friday, Eve to you.
17:42
Speaker 7: My friend.
17:43
Speaker 6: Good morning. And I found it funny. Jay said, I
17:47
Speaker 6: did a little research. Jay. You never do a little research.
17:50
Speaker 6: You do a lot of research.
17:52
Speaker 7: You know.
17:52
Speaker 6: It's like it's like saying that I was. I got
17:54
Speaker 6: up this morning, he was breathing, Joe, and you know,
17:57
Speaker 6: Jay did a little research. All right, Pat, we appreciate
18:00
Speaker 6: a Jay appreciate it, Yes, yes, I and we appreciate.
18:04
Speaker 6: I love the football tax things. And it's because it's.
18:07
Speaker 1: True the gift, the gift that keeps on giving for
18:09
Speaker 1: folks like you and me and others who are concerned.
18:13
Speaker 6: Yes, just yeah, just sit back and enjoy your football right.
18:19
Speaker 1: Right, bread and.
18:22
Speaker 6: Find that to be hilarious. I did want to comment
18:25
Speaker 6: on the whole ice thing and kind of help go
18:27
Speaker 6: along with Trump and and and then to take a
18:30
Speaker 6: victory lap in Minnesota. I think it's uh. I think
18:33
Speaker 6: it's definitely deserving. You know, that's what happens when you
18:36
Speaker 6: stick to your now kind of pump maybe fun intented,
18:39
Speaker 6: but stick to your guns and don't back down and
18:43
Speaker 6: do what you feel is right and then stick with
18:45
Speaker 6: it and good things to come out of it. You
18:47
Speaker 6: know that we see a lot of people that fill roles,
18:50
Speaker 6: whether it be a movie role or whether that be
18:54
Speaker 6: a job or something like that, and it's like, the
18:56
Speaker 6: best person is perfect for that job. If you were
18:59
Speaker 6: to design, you sit down and look listen to all
19:01
Speaker 6: the characteristics of somebody who would be perfect for that job.
19:05
Speaker 6: That's Tom Homan for that job. That dude is just
19:09
Speaker 6: he's a you know, he's the man and that stuff.
19:12
Speaker 6: He has all the answers, he knows exactly what he's
19:15
Speaker 6: what he's talking about. He's been doing it for you
19:17
Speaker 6: know what, thirty five forty years. He's been in some
19:20
Speaker 6: physician in that agency. He's perfect for that job, no nonsense.
19:25
Speaker 6: You know the whole zero tolerance thing that you know
19:28
Speaker 6: he's famous for clips on that and dealing with AOC
19:32
Speaker 6: and congressional hearings and all that. That dude is perfect
19:35
Speaker 6: for that job. So I appreciate the work these guys do.
19:38
Speaker 6: They are trying to get people out of your neighborhood
19:41
Speaker 6: that don't belong there. That's pretty much while it boils
19:44
Speaker 6: down to, they have no right to be in this
19:46
Speaker 6: country because they snuck in here in the middle of
19:50
Speaker 6: the night or whatever, in the back of the truck,
19:52
Speaker 6: or they snuck in here. They didn't walk through and
19:55
Speaker 6: go hey, I'm here. I'd like to stay here. You guys, mind,
19:58
Speaker 6: if I stay here, I'm going to be productive. You know,
20:00
Speaker 6: they stuck in here, and they're cheating us, and they're
20:02
Speaker 6: absorbing our resources that we pay taxes for that are
20:06
Speaker 6: for our people. There's already enough people in this country
20:10
Speaker 6: that are abusing our other resources and are taking advantage
20:13
Speaker 6: of us, that are actual citizens of this country. Why
20:16
Speaker 6: in the world would we let more people in. Oh
20:18
Speaker 6: wait a minute, we may need to inflate those voter numbers,
20:21
Speaker 6: so let's let them all in. That's got to be
20:22
Speaker 6: the only reason.
20:23
Speaker 1: So it seems to be.
20:24
Speaker 6: I agree. I wholeheartedly agree with Jay. Thanks for continuing
20:29
Speaker 6: to sound the alarm. Keep an eye on those rhinos.
20:32
Speaker 6: Don't vote for him if you know they're rhino, And
20:35
Speaker 6: for whatever you do, do not vote Democrats. Thank you,
20:38
Speaker 6: have a great day.
20:39
Speaker 1: You have a great day too. Tom. Yeah, and the
20:41
Speaker 1: other thing that Tom Holman enjoys is at least some
20:44
Speaker 1: measure of credibility on the Democrats side, because he was
20:46
Speaker 1: the borders are under Biden as well, So and you know,
20:52
Speaker 1: you can, I mean you kind of question away how
20:54
Speaker 1: we're Trump stands very firm on certain issues. And this
20:58
Speaker 1: goes back to my comment yesterday about you know, the
21:00
Speaker 1: the silent majority. You know damn well more than anybody
21:04
Speaker 1: else that Donald Trump and his staff his administration is
21:08
Speaker 1: pretty to some probably pretty darn solid pulling information. So
21:13
Speaker 1: what you get in the mainstream media and the constant
21:15
Speaker 1: you know, video and reporting about mass hysterian in Minneapolis
21:20
Speaker 1: and the throngs of the masses who were running out
21:23
Speaker 1: in the streets against Ice. Meanwhile, Trump tries to stick
21:26
Speaker 1: to his guns. And yeah, bad things will happen when
21:28
Speaker 1: angry protesters are engaging and interfering with law enforcement. But
21:34
Speaker 1: it is working. And Tom Holman's announcement yesterday about cooperation
21:39
Speaker 1: with local law enforcement and local sheriff departments with getting
21:42
Speaker 1: these illegal immigrants. Don't release them into the community, hand
21:45
Speaker 1: them over to Ice subject to the detainer. That's a
21:48
Speaker 1: step in the right direction. And obviously, as I was
21:51
Speaker 1: ranting about earlier in the program, it's what most people want,
21:55
Speaker 1: and I think that's the very thing I've seen some
21:58
Speaker 1: polling which suggests exactly that. Say what you want about
22:02
Speaker 1: not deporting the ill, the guy down the street who's
22:04
Speaker 1: been going to work every day for the past ten
22:07
Speaker 1: years and never ever got involved with law enforcement, Okay,
22:10
Speaker 1: you make an argument for that, but you can't make
22:12
Speaker 1: an argument for criminals. So that takes the weight off
22:18
Speaker 1: the left and their problem trying to support keeping criminals
22:22
Speaker 1: in our country when they're not when they're subject to
22:24
Speaker 1: being kicked out. So it ultimately works to their advantage,
22:28
Speaker 1: much in the same way Minneapolis ICE agents will be
22:31
Speaker 1: wearing body cameras. That works out to the benefit of
22:34
Speaker 1: the ICE agents. It also fulfills the request. Okay, Democrats
22:39
Speaker 1: are asking for body cameras, will be happy to give
22:40
Speaker 1: it to them. There you go that behind the scenes,
22:43
Speaker 1: everybody gets what they want on that when the law
22:45
Speaker 1: enforcement officers obviously protected against being falsely accused of violating
22:49
Speaker 1: whatever laws the protesters claim they violated, and the Democrats
22:54
Speaker 1: can chalk up a win in the column see we
22:56
Speaker 1: got cameras on law enforcement agents welcome great on out,
23:02
Speaker 1: oh and to Tom's boy real quickly. A couple of
23:04
Speaker 1: hundred Cincinnay property owner are not the times. At Jay's
23:06
Speaker 1: point about snow removal, well, subset of snow removal is
23:09
Speaker 1: the walk the sidewalk in front of your home in
23:12
Speaker 1: a downtown Cincinnati you are obligated to remove it. And
23:14
Speaker 1: so two hundred since a property owners are roughly around
23:17
Speaker 1: that have been notified that they can be fined for
23:19
Speaker 1: not clearing off their sidewalks. This after the January twenty fourth,
23:23
Speaker 1: twenty fifth winter storm. You remember that wasn't that long ago.
23:26
Speaker 1: Since a municipal code says it's the responsibility of property
23:28
Speaker 1: owners to clear snow or ice from any sidewalk adjacent
23:32
Speaker 1: to their lot, at least two hundred did not, so
23:35
Speaker 1: the the letters went out, the property owners who failed
23:38
Speaker 1: to clear their sidewalks facing a potential civil fine of
23:41
Speaker 1: twenty five dollars. According to Sheryl Long City Manager's memo,
23:45
Speaker 1: She said the city continues to discuss how to operationalize enforcement,
23:50
Speaker 1: including what departments must be involved in issuing citations and
23:54
Speaker 1: collecting fines, as well as identifying potential departmental funding and
23:57
Speaker 1: staffing needs. You need more funding and more staffing to
24:03
Speaker 1: issue letters and collect fines. I guess five point thirty
24:06
Speaker 1: six right now, fifty five kr CD talk station, be
24:09
Speaker 1: right back after these brief words.
24:10
Speaker 3: Fifty five KRC dot com.
24:14
Speaker 1: Five forty here if you five KRC detalk station eight
24:19
Speaker 1: hundred eight two three talk found five fifty on AT
24:20
Speaker 1: and T phones. No, we're not going to nationalize elections.
24:24
Speaker 6: Ah.
24:25
Speaker 1: That comment directed to Tom too. Sorry Tom to executive
24:28
Speaker 1: decision by executive producer Internet research guru. All right, great guy,
24:30
Speaker 1: Joe Stracker, get to the stack of stupid, said Joe. Apologies,
24:34
Speaker 1: but yeah, we're not nationalizing elections. Check your constitution out
24:37
Speaker 1: olive garden. We got an olive garden for the stack
24:39
Speaker 1: of stupid. An employee died from burn injuries he suffered
24:43
Speaker 1: suffered rather after sticking his head into a deep friar
24:49
Speaker 1: what police call a suicide attempt. Why are you doing it?
24:53
Speaker 1: Holy cow? Happened last Friday at the williams Port, pennsylvani
25:00
Speaker 1: olive Garden, tiber Lauren. Last year. Pennsylvania State Police spokesperson
25:07
Speaker 1: said the incident was a suicide attempt and out of
25:09
Speaker 1: respect for the individual, and their family. They weren't going
25:11
Speaker 1: to release any information, adding that the provision in details
25:14
Speaker 1: about the January thirtieth event could lead to the late
25:17
Speaker 1: workers identity being discovered. Okay, not with this anyway. Was
25:23
Speaker 1: a suicide attempt? I guess anyway. Manager of the olive
25:26
Speaker 1: Garden had it closed for a couple of days. We're
25:30
Speaker 1: not able to disclose anything due to our privacy law,
25:33
Speaker 1: said the manager. Police emergency workers shut up at the
25:35
Speaker 1: restaurant about four pm in response a nine to one
25:37
Speaker 1: to one call about an employee removing his clothes and
25:40
Speaker 1: attempting to harm himself. What audio from the Lincoming County
25:45
Speaker 1: Fire and EMS Services dispatcher heard saying quote, I don't
25:48
Speaker 1: have a lot of details, A lot of people screaming,
25:50
Speaker 1: some kind of burn victim. That's a quote. In a
25:55
Speaker 1: later dispatch, the operator said, quote a male victim went
25:58
Speaker 1: head first into the ers. After the initial ambulance showed up,
26:03
Speaker 1: second unit sent to the restaurant to treat a female
26:05
Speaker 1: worker who suffered minor burns. That woman, injured at least
26:09
Speaker 1: in a part, struggled with the guy in an attempt
26:12
Speaker 1: to stop him from additional suffering and self inflicted burns
26:18
Speaker 1: taken to local hospital to later succumb to his injuries.
26:21
Speaker 1: No longer with us. I don't know why we have
26:22
Speaker 1: concerns over privacy over but Lord almighty, what kind of
26:26
Speaker 1: mental state would you have to be to thrust your
26:28
Speaker 1: head into a deep friar with oil temperatures north of
26:31
Speaker 1: four hundred degrees or right around four hundred degrees?
26:36
Speaker 3: Jeez?
26:40
Speaker 1: Colorado. Westminster, Coloradothories in Colorado said a man was arrested
26:44
Speaker 1: for driving into the influence. He admitted to driving with
26:47
Speaker 1: his three children in the trunk of the car. What
26:53
Speaker 1: Westminster police shared their body camera video? Oh look, body
26:56
Speaker 1: camera video of the traffic stop. Please send an officer
27:00
Speaker 1: boto of the vehicle driving recklessly initiated the stop. Contacted
27:03
Speaker 1: the driver not immediately identified. They say he smelled of
27:06
Speaker 1: alcohol when I guess the windows rolled down? Allright now, Joe.
27:10
Speaker 1: The driver denied having any alcohol as this tradition, initially
27:14
Speaker 1: agreed to perform a field sobriety test, yet officer said
27:18
Speaker 1: he changed his mind, declined the test, and was then
27:21
Speaker 1: placed under arrest. After they put the driver in handcuffs,
27:25
Speaker 1: the officer said the man told them his kids were
27:28
Speaker 1: in the trunk of the car.
27:30
Speaker 2: Dear, what the hell?
27:32
Speaker 1: Officer can be heard in the video saying, you have
27:36
Speaker 1: three kids hiding in the trunk. Yes, opened the trunk
27:41
Speaker 1: and there they were lying inside court of the police.
27:43
Speaker 1: Several bottles of alcohol also found inside the car as
27:47
Speaker 1: a tradition driver taking to the jail Adams County Jail,
27:50
Speaker 1: specifically charges including driving into the influence, reckless driving and
27:53
Speaker 1: child abuse. Child Protective Services, of course, car were called
27:57
Speaker 1: and the children were released to another family. Man idiots
28:01
Speaker 1: doing idiot things because they're idiots. Amen, brother, let's see here.
28:12
Speaker 1: This is weird. Officials at the twenty twenty six Winter
28:16
Speaker 1: Olympics are now focusing on the crotches of ski jumpers,
28:21
Speaker 1: phrasing a major rule change in effect just in time
28:25
Speaker 1: for the games. According to the report, here's the They
28:31
Speaker 1: are placing tamper proof microchips in the suits of each
28:36
Speaker 1: athlete and use three D scanning technology to measure the
28:40
Speaker 1: space between the crotches of ski jumpers what as reported
28:52
Speaker 1: by The Daily Mail, the drastic and awkward measures were
28:54
Speaker 1: installed after a crotch enlarging scandal phrasing the ski jumping
29:01
Speaker 1: world last year, leading to multiple suspensions among the Norwegian team.
29:06
Speaker 1: This is the twenty twenty five ski Jumping World Championship
29:08
Speaker 1: in Norway. The home team caught secretly adding extra fabric
29:12
Speaker 1: to the crotch area of suits worn by two top
29:14
Speaker 1: male athletes. You think they were tube socks rolled up
29:17
Speaker 1: joe or maybe spinal tap with the cucumber wrapped in
29:26
Speaker 1: aluminum foil. Some people are laughing right now. Others are
29:31
Speaker 1: leg what the hell is he talking about? Anyway? You know,
29:36
Speaker 1: ski jumping you down a ramp and you soar through
29:39
Speaker 1: the air. Apparently the distance they travel has a large
29:42
Speaker 1: lot to do with the aerodynamics of how air moves
29:45
Speaker 1: around them, meaning their suit. They say, crotch enlarging creates
29:50
Speaker 1: more surface area in the skin tight suits that catch
29:53
Speaker 1: air just rights some more fabric around the skiers groins
29:56
Speaker 1: mean they can glide longer and further without falling too quickly,
30:00
Speaker 1: potentially adding several more feet to each jump.
30:06
Speaker 2: I had no idea so.
30:15
Speaker 1: In this whole gender dispute. So if if, if women
30:18
Speaker 1: and men are competing in ski jumping against each other,
30:22
Speaker 1: who has the competitive advantage based upon biological realities of
30:26
Speaker 1: the difference between the crotch area of men and women.
30:29
Speaker 1: Sounds to me like men would have an already built
30:31
Speaker 1: in advantage when it comes to at least ski jumping,
30:35
Speaker 1: based upon what little I know having read part of
30:37
Speaker 1: this articles five six fifty five KRC nobody care, right,
30:42
Speaker 1: Joe Strecker, They'll olay a little more stupid coming up
30:45
Speaker 1: fifty five KRC The talk Station Good five fifty to

Speaker 1: fifty five KRC de Talk Station, Happy Friday. Todds ins

31:00
Speaker 1: Watchdog podcast, doing a great job in his free time
31:03
Speaker 1: just watching the shenanigans going on in downtown Cincinnati. So
31:06
Speaker 1: we'll find out what is an emergency under city ordinances,
31:09
Speaker 1: the city's COVID distribution and oversight, and Cincinnati wanting another
31:13
Speaker 1: solar energy farm. Just reading that makes me have bile
31:16
Speaker 1: in the back of my throat. Any How, before we
31:19
Speaker 1: get to the stack of stupid, Tom, Welcome to the
31:21
Speaker 1: morning show, Happy Friday, Eve Tom. All right, Joe, he's
31:29
Speaker 1: not there, so we're gonna have to I guess let
31:31
Speaker 1: Tom go. He wants to nationalize elections. I thought I
31:34
Speaker 1: already made a comment about that. Anyway, This is insanity.
31:36
Speaker 1: Two Memphis City council members believe the snow from the
31:42
Speaker 1: winter storm. Winterstorm firm specifically man made council member idiot
31:48
Speaker 1: because there idi is. Councilmember Pearl Walker and remember Jolanda
31:52
Speaker 1: Cooper Sutton both went to the social media and publicly
31:56
Speaker 1: said the snow was fake in separate Facebook posts Court
32:06
Speaker 1: of Memphis Flier. These are Memphis City council members apparently
32:09
Speaker 1: swirling around on social media, which I don't participate in.
32:12
Speaker 1: There are lots of claims of fake snow. Is this
32:15
Speaker 1: like chemtrails anyway? Cooper Sutton, the councilperson, posted a video
32:21
Speaker 1: showing her husband attempting to melt a chunk of snow
32:26
Speaker 1: with a lighter. Her post reads, wtw so we decided
32:35
Speaker 1: to see what was really falling hitting the ground. It's
32:38
Speaker 1: not melting perenn or a bracket. It stinks close bracket
32:42
Speaker 1: when you set fire to it. Oh my God, Jesus Christ,
32:46
Speaker 1: what is happening? Not expressed in the form of a question.
32:50
Speaker 1: It's expressed in the form of three exclamation points. Sounded
32:54
Speaker 1: like a question to me, at least based upon the
32:55
Speaker 1: wording of our social media post. In video, Cooper Sutton says, quote,
33:02
Speaker 1: this is not melting, this is fire. Oh my god,
33:04
Speaker 1: what is falling from the sky hitting the ground. Oh
33:07
Speaker 1: my god. We can't make this up close? Quote Walker
33:12
Speaker 1: common to the post simply quote man made close. Quote.
33:15
Speaker 1: She also posted a link to another Facebook video from
33:17
Speaker 1: somebody else named Sunshine with a y. Thacker said that
33:21
Speaker 1: when the first snow picked, when she first picked up
33:24
Speaker 1: the snow, she said it was different, and therefore she
33:29
Speaker 1: would not use it to make whatever she believes to
33:31
Speaker 1: be snow cream. What y'all learned in science class in
33:39
Speaker 1: grade school that stuff outside still ain't snow.
33:46
Speaker 8: See your stupid mouth shut day.
33:49
Speaker 1: Radliff will be hearing from you at eight thirty. There's
33:52
Speaker 1: some really stupid, stupid people out there in elected capacity.
33:59
Speaker 1: You know, somebody should have asked her if she was
34:01
Speaker 1: under the mindset that guam could capsize if you put
34:04
Speaker 1: more people on it. Yes, you're right, she doesn't even
34:07
Speaker 1: know where guam is. That's a good point. Joe, what's kwam?
34:11
Speaker 1: What's gwam? Go to Freemonut, Nebraska, mom of a Fremont
34:20
Speaker 1: High school student who was struck by an suv during
34:24
Speaker 1: a student protest more on student protests after the Top
34:27
Speaker 1: of the Art News said she's anger with school officies,
34:30
Speaker 1: officials believing they should have prevented the demonstration student hit
34:33
Speaker 1: by a red SUV while participating in an anti ice
34:37
Speaker 1: protest outside the school. Why was the school? Why was
34:40
Speaker 1: the kid outside not in the school anyway? Court of
34:43
Speaker 1: the student, I think mostly got me in my legs
34:45
Speaker 1: because my knee is what's really bugging me right now.
34:48
Speaker 1: All I remember is that it was read. Obviously, referring
34:51
Speaker 1: to the suv girls, mom said the incident should never
34:54
Speaker 1: have happened. The students were not informed enough to organize
34:56
Speaker 1: such a protest. First of all, she said, I don't
34:58
Speaker 1: feel she's informed enough who have made a decision like
35:01
Speaker 1: that one that she made by doing a protest? Amen?
35:03
Speaker 6: Mom.
35:04
Speaker 1: I don't feel that any of the young people that
35:06
Speaker 1: were involved know enough about what's going on or to
35:09
Speaker 1: do or to set up a protest, because I feel
35:12
Speaker 1: they don't know what they are protesting. Amen. Mom. She
35:17
Speaker 1: thinks Freemont High School bears responsibility for the incident point
35:20
Speaker 1: of the fact that her daughter was allowed to make
35:22
Speaker 1: protest materials during class time. Oh look, local headline Walnut
35:34
Speaker 1: Walnut Hills High School anti ice walk out draws three
35:37
Speaker 1: hundred to four hundred students. More on that at the
35:40
Speaker 1: top of the hour news mom said, my daughter was
35:43
Speaker 1: allowed to make her poster and class in school to
35:47
Speaker 1: career class. Where are the teachers and why weren't they
35:50
Speaker 1: paying more attention to what these kids were doing? I
35:52
Speaker 1: feel the school is quite a bit at fault for this.
35:56
Speaker 1: Now you can make an argument that the suv driver
35:59
Speaker 1: made been the person solely responsible for running into the child.
36:02
Speaker 1: Don't know the specifics of the actual involvement of that collision,
36:06
Speaker 1: but there is something to be said about schools who
36:08
Speaker 1: egg on and encourage children to protest on a specific
36:14
Speaker 1: side of the protest political standpoint, if you know what
36:17
Speaker 1: I mean. And he used valuable school time to make
36:21
Speaker 1: protest posters, Who can argue with that? Oh look, Walnut
36:30
Speaker 1: Hills High School anti ice walk out draws three hundred
36:32
Speaker 1: to four hundred students. Maybe we can talk about that
36:34
Speaker 1: at the top of the ur news You can feel
36:35
Speaker 1: free to chime in, and I'd love to hear from
36:37
Speaker 1: you regardless. I will be back right after the news.
36:40
Speaker 1: Today's tough headlines coming up at it's six or six
36:44
Speaker 1: if you I have krcedy talk station by Thomas right
36:46
Speaker 1: here wishing to run a very appy Thursday. Last Friday
36:49
Speaker 1: Eve Socialists Marxist collectivists are coming on strong for the
36:55
Speaker 1: children and a great op at peace by Cheryl Cheryl
36:58
Speaker 1: Chilling with the Washington Times. Perfect timing on this Walnut
37:02
Speaker 1: Hills High School anti ice walk out. They had three
37:04
Speaker 1: eight four hundred students walk out to protest ice, Abolish ice,
37:09
Speaker 1: Ice out for good. Let read the posters waving them around.
37:15
Speaker 1: Organizer Walnut Hills Junior Magdalia Lopez. It was her estimate
37:21
Speaker 1: that there were three hundred to four hundred students there,
37:24
Speaker 1: which would be sixteen percent of the school's total enrollment.
37:27
Speaker 1: Grace Tucker, since I inquire reporting, so I was just
37:30
Speaker 1: scratching the service kids walked out of school apparently. I
37:33
Speaker 1: don't know if they got time to make the signs
37:34
Speaker 1: while in class when they should have been doing classroom work.
37:38
Speaker 1: But I guess the snow days and the road closure days,
37:41
Speaker 1: and the days staying home and on the heels of
37:43
Speaker 1: you know, stay at home for basically two years during
37:45
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen, I guess you don't need to be in
37:47
Speaker 1: school anymore. It's more important to go out in the
37:48
Speaker 1: street and protest. Everybody in my listening audience remember when
37:51
Speaker 1: they were in school and we were giving time off
37:53
Speaker 1: to quit, walk out of school and protest without consequence. Joe,
37:56
Speaker 1: you remember that you did that all the time when
37:58
Speaker 1: you were at Lasau, didn't you. Oh yeah, the priest
38:02
Speaker 1: to go out out there protest. I can put this
38:09
Speaker 1: in context thanks to Cheryl Chumley over at the Washington
38:12
Speaker 1: Times who wrote earlier this week. And remember New York
38:17
Speaker 1: Mari Zoon Mondami, the comy. He wants to get rid
38:20
Speaker 1: of the Gifted and Talented program. Let me just point
38:22
Speaker 1: that out up front, because I read an op ed
38:23
Speaker 1: piece the other day from Jason Riley talking about how
38:25
Speaker 1: they're getting They want to limit or otherwise prevent the
38:30
Speaker 1: magnet schools. They do not want anyone to exceed or
38:36
Speaker 1: excel in the name of equity. I guess if you
38:38
Speaker 1: are not. If you're smart, you are too smart. Little
38:41
Speaker 1: Johnny over there is not as smart as you. So
38:43
Speaker 1: because you're smarter than little Johnny, we cannot allow you
38:47
Speaker 1: to advance. We are not allowing society to benefit from
38:50
Speaker 1: your gifted and talented intellect by putting you in a
38:53
Speaker 1: gifted and talented program where that intellect can increase, ultimately
38:58
Speaker 1: benefiting all of us because you're going to build. Then
39:00
Speaker 1: I don't know widget that we all fall in love with.
39:04
Speaker 1: Sorry anyway. So with that background, she points out at
39:08
Speaker 1: the outset New York City, Mayrizon, when Dobby is scamming
39:10
Speaker 1: back to school's Gifted and Talented program for elementary AID
39:13
Speaker 1: students over concerns its discriminatory. Over there, all those lunatic
39:20
Speaker 1: teachers in Minneapolis and Harlem and elsewhere, like I guess
39:24
Speaker 1: Walnut Hills, who've been leading the little kids left by
39:29
Speaker 1: parents in their little kids left by parents in their
39:32
Speaker 1: charge in a radical sign wielding slogan shouting anti ice
39:35
Speaker 1: protest lines. The Left is coming for the children, and
39:39
Speaker 1: their coming hard. The goal to get the next generation
39:42
Speaker 1: of American voters trained in the good marks this way
39:45
Speaker 1: to go, and to get the next generation of American leaders,
39:48
Speaker 1: whether government or business or education, military or societal, all
39:52
Speaker 1: leaders similarly trained. Then the Democrats' vision for America will
39:56
Speaker 1: be complete. Then the democrats hope for america future will
40:00
Speaker 1: be realized. After all, in the minds of the leftists,
40:03
Speaker 1: there wouldn't be any problems in America Republicans and more specifically,
40:06
Speaker 1: maggot type Republicans didn't exist. This is the lefts thinking
40:09
Speaker 1: about the chaos in Minneapolis right now. They blamed the
40:12
Speaker 1: US Immigration and Customs Enforcement for causing chaos because, as
40:15
Speaker 1: they see it, there were no protests in the streets
40:19
Speaker 1: until Ice came, so it must be ICE's fault. Leftists
40:24
Speaker 1: never looked beyond their emotions, so there are only one
40:27
Speaker 1: shift in the wind away from changing their views. See
40:31
Speaker 1: all of the multitude of times over the past two
40:34
Speaker 1: decades that Democrats Juckie Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and every single
40:40
Speaker 1: other one of them started screaming about the border and
40:43
Speaker 1: border security along the lines of what Trump's been doing.
40:47
Speaker 1: They used to say stuff like that, we need a
40:48
Speaker 1: secure border, illegal immigrants should be thrown out. Yeah, okay,
40:52
Speaker 1: the wind change direction. Evil orange Man got elected, so
40:55
Speaker 1: immediately they don't want to do anything about the border.
40:58
Speaker 1: This is the way that this is this emotion ar
41:00
Speaker 1: that Ryl Chumley's pointing out just had to add a
41:02
Speaker 1: little extra meat on the flesh of the statement. Again,
41:09
Speaker 1: only one shift in the wind away from changing the
41:11
Speaker 1: views and with Minneapolis. No matter how many times it's explained,
41:14
Speaker 1: and no matter how many times it's explained in a
41:16
Speaker 1: most layman like matter, leftists cannot get the fact that
41:20
Speaker 1: the progression of events is this. Joe Biden, while president,
41:22
Speaker 1: left borders completely open and in so doing allowed millions
41:25
Speaker 1: of migrants to enter the country illegally, many of hume,
41:29
Speaker 1: here's the sailing point where drug and human traffickers, gang
41:32
Speaker 1: and cartel members, murderers, rapists, and thieves. Biden even used
41:37
Speaker 1: tax dollars to ship these illegals to parts of the
41:39
Speaker 1: north east and west in order of the border in
41:42
Speaker 1: Mexico set them up with housing, food, et cetera, et cetera.
41:45
Speaker 1: See that's an evil, nefarious part of the time. Texas
41:48
Speaker 1: governor was praised for kicking them out of his neighborhood
41:51
Speaker 1: and sending them off on a bus too Minneapolis perhaps
41:54
Speaker 1: New York City, where they were met with delight by
41:57
Speaker 1: the elected officials there, who started thinking about the the
42:00
Speaker 1: voter rolls being expanded Democrat voting, and of course the
42:03
Speaker 1: census and the number of representative seats they'd be able
42:07
Speaker 1: to get with all the new illegal immigrants in their
42:09
Speaker 1: very blue neighborhoods. See how that works out. Donald Trump
42:15
Speaker 1: elected president largely because he promised to clamp down on
42:18
Speaker 1: the border and clear communities across the nation of the illegals. Deport, deport, deport.
42:22
Speaker 1: He set it over and over again on the campaign
42:24
Speaker 1: trail and biological extension lower crimes, which when you kick
42:30
Speaker 1: the criminals out of the country, crime does go down.
42:33
Speaker 1: That's what Trump is doing. But Democrats hate that Trump
42:37
Speaker 1: is done and is doing that, so they're doing whatever
42:39
Speaker 1: they can to undo that. Governor Tim Walt Minneapoli Or Minnesota,
42:43
Speaker 1: compared Trump to Hitler and Ice to Nazi forces. Jacob Fry,
42:47
Speaker 1: of Minneapolis mayor sat ICE's goal is to cause chaos
42:51
Speaker 1: and disruption. Actually, I think that's the protesters goal. Minnesotatorney
42:55
Speaker 1: General Keith Elson called Ice in the city a federal invasion.
43:00
Speaker 1: I'm sure people notice the rhetoric. People pay attention to
43:03
Speaker 1: the narrative, and sick, unhinge people actually use such narratives
43:06
Speaker 1: to justify the unleashing of even more vicious narratives, leading
43:09
Speaker 1: to physical assaults and cruel attacks against law enforcement and yes,
43:13
Speaker 1: of course, against Ice. But again leftists never looked beyond
43:16
Speaker 1: their emotions. They refuse to see how what's taking place
43:19
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis and elsewhere in the nation with ICE is
43:22
Speaker 1: due entirely to Biden's open border leading to hikes in crime,
43:26
Speaker 1: leading to abuse of tax payer dollars endless apparently abusive
43:31
Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars. The Minneapolis Somali community and the leering centers
43:36
Speaker 1: a great example. And we are just scratching the surface
43:42
Speaker 1: and of course ultimately leading the White House crackdowns on
43:44
Speaker 1: lawlessness and attempt to restore law and order controls at
43:47
Speaker 1: the border. Here we go. Some leftists are pure stupid
43:51
Speaker 1: and incapable of understanding the facts behind ICE's current operation.
43:54
Speaker 1: Forgive them, for they know not what they do. They
43:57
Speaker 1: are the useful idiots in communism one oh one. But
44:00
Speaker 1: some are pure evil and use crime and lawlessness to
44:03
Speaker 1: gain political power and to destroy America. This is the
44:06
Speaker 1: category which many Mandami operates. This is the umbrella under
44:10
Speaker 1: which teachers sending kids into the streets to waive anti
44:14
Speaker 1: ICE signs. Stand Sarah Parti Perry, vice president of the
44:21
Speaker 1: Legal fellow at Defending Education quote, as we suspected he might,
44:26
Speaker 1: newly minted Democratic socialist mayor Zoran Mandabi, himself a product
44:30
Speaker 1: of expensive private schools, has pledged to shut down the
44:34
Speaker 1: Gifted and Talented program, despite the fact that it helped
44:37
Speaker 1: countless students from humble backgrounds achieve their full academic potential. Specifically,
44:45
Speaker 1: Mamdami wants to put an end to the Gifted and
44:47
Speaker 1: Talented program until children reach third grade status. In other words,
44:51
Speaker 1: the brightest of the bright have to stay dumbed down
44:55
Speaker 1: in kindergarten, first and second grades so as to keep
44:58
Speaker 1: other kids from feeling bad. This is a socialist way
45:04
Speaker 1: and still a fake sense of equality by limiting the
45:06
Speaker 1: potential of high achievers by making those who have a
45:09
Speaker 1: high potential feel guilt and shame for desiring to achieve.
45:14
Speaker 1: Insert the middle aged women who feel guilt and shame
45:19
Speaker 1: because of white privilege. You walk around feeling guilty about
45:24
Speaker 1: who you are and what you've accomplished. Just go ahead
45:26
Speaker 1: and don't pay attention to how you were able to
45:28
Speaker 1: get there, what you did personally to achieve, whatever lofty
45:32
Speaker 1: space you got that makes you want to run out
45:34
Speaker 1: in the street and cry and show you your virtue
45:37
Speaker 1: signaling because oh I'm white, I didn't deserve what I got.
45:42
Speaker 1: This is the children's version of that same nonsense. New
45:50
Speaker 1: York preschooler leads children in ice activity, according to one
45:54
Speaker 1: website video showing a group of three to twelve year
45:58
Speaker 1: old and their teachers holding handmade sides reading things like
46:02
Speaker 1: ice is shut Down and participating in an organized demonstration
46:06
Speaker 1: outside the Portland Monassori School. These protests are going all
46:13
Speaker 1: over the place, and they're organized parothetically, not just our
46:15
Speaker 1: local Walnut Hills High School students. Another Facebook from some
46:22
Speaker 1: different site Chloe Day School at kindergartener stage in anti ice,
46:25
Speaker 1: anti Trump protest. Huh, She writes. This is the Marxist way.
46:30
Speaker 1: Instill the propaganda at its earliest age possible, and as
46:33
Speaker 1: I pointed out, suffer the little children come unto me
46:36
Speaker 1: the earlier you get them and indoctrinate them. And some say,
46:39
Speaker 1: of course, indoctrinating into Christianity is a great thing for
46:42
Speaker 1: the young people, but it's the same thing. Introduce the
46:45
Speaker 1: idea early to them and it becomes a religion to them,
46:48
Speaker 1: much in the same way global warming is a religion
46:50
Speaker 1: to people. Oh my god, I'm gonna commit blasphemy if
46:55
Speaker 1: I make an argument that carbon dioxide's plant food, and
46:57
Speaker 1: the earth needs it. Education, to the leftists is not
47:05
Speaker 1: so much an opportunity for the individual as it is
47:08
Speaker 1: a weapon for war against individualism. Mom, Donnie's doing this.
47:12
Speaker 1: Teachers and daycare providers are doing that here, little here,
47:15
Speaker 1: little there, a little bit more. Suddenly, or seemingly suddenly,
47:18
Speaker 1: America is no more. It's imparting to see the acts
47:21
Speaker 1: of the left as a whole, as a movement, as
47:23
Speaker 1: a concerted and collective effort to destroy the nation and
47:27
Speaker 1: erase God given freedoms. They're not by chance, they're not anomalies.
47:33
Speaker 1: They're not coincidences. Marxists and leftists and socialists and communists
47:38
Speaker 1: are today's democrats, and they love nothing more than to
47:41
Speaker 1: make their destructive goals easier by getting the children on board,
47:45
Speaker 1: by having them serve as willing participants, and the take
47:48
Speaker 1: down to their own country. Exclamation point Cheryl Chumley, going
47:56
Speaker 1: back to the well the education numbers, the sad, empathetic scores.
48:04
Speaker 1: Children cannot read and they cannot perform math. And I
48:07
Speaker 1: know it's a broad brush statement. I guess it depends
48:08
Speaker 1: on what school, what what what school you're in. Like
48:11
Speaker 1: for example, if you're in the Gifted and Talented program
48:14
Speaker 1: formerly in New York City. Your kids may score great.
48:20
Speaker 1: We can't have any of that, now, can we. That
48:23
Speaker 1: kid's too smart. It's gonna see through the propaganda. Six
48:26
Speaker 1: seventeen fifty five krs DE talk station, Save money and
48:30
Speaker 1: improve your homes comfort and yeah the winter timeing over
48:34
Speaker 1: the talk station five KRCITY talk station. You're gonna jump
48:39
Speaker 1: straight off the phone. It's got Brian on the line
48:40
Speaker 1: in Mississippi.
48:41
Speaker 7: James.
48:41
Speaker 1: Hold on, James, get you calling next, Brian. Thanks for
48:43
Speaker 1: calling this morning, and happy Friday.
48:45
Speaker 6: Ear to you.
48:46
Speaker 4: Happy Friday, Brian.
48:47
Speaker 6: How are you today?
48:48
Speaker 1: I'm pretty darn good. Thank you very much. Hope you
48:51
Speaker 1: can say the same.
48:52
Speaker 4: I can't. Yeah, I want to touch on the Mandani
48:55
Speaker 4: and the gifted programs. It's since equality never talks about
49:01
Speaker 4: effort and sacrifice being equal only outcome.
49:04
Speaker 6: That's that's the.
49:04
Speaker 4: Only true way to true equality is for everybody be
49:08
Speaker 4: equally poor and equally stupid.
49:11
Speaker 1: Yep. That's Marxism rolled up at them all.
49:15
Speaker 6: Yep.
49:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, because you're never going to get that ten percent
49:19
Speaker 4: of people to even go to work, much less work
49:21
Speaker 4: over time. But so you got to you got to
49:24
Speaker 4: keep the other man down.
49:25
Speaker 1: Well, you hit the nail the head on why Marxism
49:27
Speaker 1: and socialism generally speaking, always fail. Once you take away
49:31
Speaker 1: the incentive of hard work, which is usually higher pay,
49:34
Speaker 1: better benefits, that kind of stuff. If you take that
49:37
Speaker 1: away and everybody's treated equally, uh, then there's no incentive
49:41
Speaker 1: work hard, right.
49:43
Speaker 4: I sure wouldn't be headed into Kentucky to work all
49:46
Speaker 4: day today.
49:47
Speaker 1: No, I know, I could promise you that absolutely. Hey,
49:50
Speaker 1: everybody makes pick a figure, thirty thousand dollars. That's it.
49:54
Speaker 1: You're never going to make more than that. What possible
49:57
Speaker 1: reason would you have to want to work harder than
49:59
Speaker 1: the guy next you who's just got his feed up
50:01
Speaker 1: and maybe his surfing porn in a room all day long,
50:04
Speaker 1: purporting to work. That's in the federal government. I remember
50:06
Speaker 1: reading stories about that. Why. That's the reason socialism fails.
50:10
Speaker 1: There's no incentive to work, no incentive produce. Why would
50:13
Speaker 1: you create a good or service or product unless you're
50:16
Speaker 1: going to reap the benefit from producing something that you
50:18
Speaker 1: realize at one point that mankind actually once the capitalist motivation.
50:24
Speaker 1: We got so many cool things in this world, so
50:27
Speaker 1: many things that have made life more pleasurable to live.
50:29
Speaker 1: So many things that have extended human life, removed disease
50:32
Speaker 1: drugs in smartphones and cell phones, and say what about AI.
50:37
Speaker 1: AI was not created from an idiot who was dumbed
50:41
Speaker 1: down in a public high school. I imagine whoever created that.
50:44
Speaker 1: I think Bill Gates was probably in the Gifted and
50:47
Speaker 1: Talented Program Mississippi. James, Welcome to the Morning Show. Happy Friday,
50:53
Speaker 1: ev you, sir, Always a pleasure hearing from you.
50:56
Speaker 9: I come in peace, love every about it, and there's
50:59
Speaker 9: nothing you can do.
51:00
Speaker 1: Love message James.
51:02
Speaker 9: All right, a couple of points, Brian. Now this is
51:04
Speaker 9: our Black History Month, sir, and you know, I look
51:09
Speaker 9: at it my belief that the Bible is Black history.
51:13
Speaker 1: Yes, you have to think.
51:16
Speaker 9: And I think if we take the Bible back into
51:18
Speaker 9: schools or other teaching institution, my black kids would learn
51:24
Speaker 9: to do better if they realized this is actually their history.
51:28
Speaker 9: I mean through colonizing, white washing, white supremacy, white racism.
51:35
Speaker 9: You know, we was giving this picture, this white Jesus,
51:39
Speaker 9: and we was told that the melody in our skin
51:42
Speaker 9: was a curse. So when you have all this horrendous
51:47
Speaker 9: stuff and put on a people, it wears them down.
51:51
Speaker 9: Then on the other side we talk about doing better, Well,
51:55
Speaker 9: how about letting some of the truth come out. Now
51:59
Speaker 9: we may not know Jesus look like, but I think
52:02
Speaker 9: we can pretty much say he didn't look like what
52:05
Speaker 9: we've been perpetuated to.
52:09
Speaker 1: Let me interject, and I agree with you wholeheartedly. Given
52:12
Speaker 1: the region of the world and the fact we didn't
52:14
Speaker 1: have mass migration back then, the likelihood that Jesus was
52:18
Speaker 1: a person of color is very very strong. You make
52:20
Speaker 1: a good argument for that. I've never argued against that.
52:23
Speaker 1: But let me go back to doctor King. Since it
52:25
Speaker 1: is Black History Month. Content of character, not color of skin.
52:28
Speaker 1: What does it matter the color of Jesus's skin. If
52:32
Speaker 1: it's the content of his character and the message that
52:35
Speaker 1: he conveyed, that is so is what is so important?
52:38
Speaker 1: You know, Faith isn't driven by the color of Jesus's skin.
52:41
Speaker 1: Apparently is driven by things like the sermon on the Mount,
52:43
Speaker 1: his message, and his miracles.
52:46
Speaker 9: Well I'm talking about the negative benefit was driven by
52:50
Speaker 9: the color of his skin?
52:51
Speaker 1: Well no, so I believe thoroughly, and I have no
52:53
Speaker 1: history to document this. But if you're trying to sell
52:57
Speaker 1: Jesus in an all white Europe. How do you convey
53:01
Speaker 1: the message in a largely, if not exclusively, illiterate population.
53:05
Speaker 1: We're talking at a time before the printing press, even
53:08
Speaker 1: where most people were not educated and could not even read.
53:11
Speaker 1: You're trying to bring them over the side of it.
53:13
Speaker 1: Maybe salvation, Maybe it's manipulation or control. But you're not
53:17
Speaker 1: going to wave around a stained glass image of a
53:20
Speaker 1: black man in a basically all white society and sell
53:24
Speaker 1: the message. So what's more important that you faked it?
53:27
Speaker 1: That you made a picture of someone who you didn't
53:29
Speaker 1: even have a photograph of in order to try to
53:31
Speaker 1: convey the message. Was it wrong in doing that? Maybe
53:36
Speaker 1: they were just dealing with this. Maybe they were just
53:38
Speaker 1: doing dealing with a society who couldn't see through race,
53:40
Speaker 1: and that was a bad thing. So all right, we'll
53:42
Speaker 1: go ahead and make Jesus white and then we'll try
53:45
Speaker 1: to get them to buy into this important message.
53:49
Speaker 9: And that was good for that time, for that time. Yeah,
53:53
Speaker 9: that's a saying, this is the age of aquarian Some
53:57
Speaker 9: truth need to be changed or come out. You know'll
54:00
Speaker 9: not be changed, but come out.
54:02
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a lot of I think it's
54:04
Speaker 1: a worthy conversation to have. But again I'm still going
54:06
Speaker 1: to go back to the message it shouldn't really matter
54:08
Speaker 1: a wit. And here we are in twenty twenty six
54:11
Speaker 1: and we can have a conversation about the reality of
54:14
Speaker 1: what color Jesus's skin may or may not have been.
54:17
Speaker 1: But I'll still go back to the fact it shouldn't matter,
54:22
Speaker 1: and honestly it doesn't. James Love hearing from me, man,
54:26
Speaker 1: love your message six to twenty at least the initial

55:14
Speaker 1: found at a crash scene yesterday, please said, the fire
55:17
Speaker 1: department got a call about two pm regarding a vehicle
55:20
Speaker 1: crash on Burns Avenue at Galbreth. Fire Department personnel showed
55:23
Speaker 1: up found a victim suffering from a gunshot wound. They
55:26
Speaker 1: said there were three other people in the car with
55:29
Speaker 1: the victim at the time of the shooting, all of
55:31
Speaker 1: whom fled the scene. I guess leaving the victim there anyway,
55:36
Speaker 1: Good friends right. Victim taken to the hospital with serious injuries,
55:40
Speaker 1: say fifteen minutes later, the homicide unit was leading the investigation.
55:45
Speaker 1: Incident believed to be isolated and contained with no threat
55:48
Speaker 1: or harm to the community. Accordion announcement from the Cincinni
55:50
Speaker 1: Police Department. Joe Strekker keeping tabs on things following last
55:54
Speaker 1: November's election, that area of town voted seventy one to
55:57
Speaker 1: eighty four percent aftab per vault. Every crime relates to
56:02
Speaker 1: the outcome of the election. Right, Joe, we got an
56:07
Speaker 1: Ohio bill being tell me what you think about this.
56:09
Speaker 1: This seems kind of strange to me. I know I've
56:11
Speaker 1: been Bar owners are maybe happy, but unhappy about this anyway,
56:14
Speaker 1: send it. Bill two forty eight will require bars and
56:17
Speaker 1: restaurants to provide date rape drug test kits for the customers.
56:25
Speaker 1: Court of the bill, businesses would have to provide these
56:27
Speaker 1: kits either for free or at wholesale costs. Described as
56:30
Speaker 1: a bipartisan bill put forward by Senators Bill Demora and
56:34
Speaker 1: he's a Democrat and Lewis Blessing from corn Township, Demur said,
56:39
Speaker 1: I don't know who would be opposed to this except
56:41
Speaker 1: people who want to spike drinks. There is a cost
56:44
Speaker 1: associated with it, I guess, I don't know. Bill would
56:46
Speaker 1: mandate liquor permanent established and provide customers with kids that
56:49
Speaker 1: detect these date rape drugs. Demora saying I wanted to
56:54
Speaker 1: try to do something about that, and I found out
56:56
Speaker 1: that there are these test kit strips and the tests
56:59
Speaker 1: for ten or twelve of them most used substances that
57:01
Speaker 1: spike drinks. Roofies, for example, was one of the specific
57:05
Speaker 1: sighted by Ali hannert Over at Fox nineteen, He said
57:09
Speaker 1: that one in thirteen college age individuals suspect they've been drugged.
57:14
Speaker 1: So policy, a qualified permit holder would not be liable
57:18
Speaker 1: for a defective, inaccurate test of a beverage on their
57:23
Speaker 1: premises according to the legislation, So it provides some immunity
57:25
Speaker 1: for the test kit itself, and he claims the more
57:28
Speaker 1: does anyway, the bars could benefit from providing the strips
57:31
Speaker 1: because it would lower their insurance rates. So right now,
57:33
Speaker 1: if your drinking spikee and something happens to you, you
57:35
Speaker 1: could sue the bar civilly obviously. Now, if you're providing
57:39
Speaker 1: these test strips, it's going to help the bars with
57:40
Speaker 1: their liability insurance. So we think this is something they'll
57:43
Speaker 1: want to do to help their customers so they feel safe,
57:45
Speaker 1: all right, ignoring the altruistic motive behind this, and I
57:48
Speaker 1: get it, question how much lower will their insurance rates
57:52
Speaker 1: be if that's the benefit, And how much will providing
57:56
Speaker 1: test strips to every single patron who comes into the
57:58
Speaker 1: bar during a period of year year counted year for
58:00
Speaker 1: the insurance counter year for the cost of the strips
58:05
Speaker 1: As a parent, And I did not know these strips
58:08
Speaker 1: even existed. As a parent rewind about fifteen years or so,
58:12
Speaker 1: I think for my daughter's sake, I probably would have
58:14
Speaker 1: bought the test strips and had her keep them in
58:17
Speaker 1: her purse along with the mace. Right and knowing that
58:22
Speaker 1: these test kits are out there and available, if you're
58:25
Speaker 1: a parent, you might want to consider getting one. We'll decide.
58:30
Speaker 1: I guess they'll figure it out for us. In Columbus
58:33
Speaker 1: six thirty six to fifty five KRCD talk station, Pats
58:36
Speaker 1: on the line of the calls coming in five one, three, seven,
58:38
Speaker 1: fifty eight two three. Talks in a second here, I'll
58:41
Speaker 1: give you the number for plumb type plumbing. It's always plumbing.
58:44
Speaker 1: Sixty five KRASD talk station. Head on overhere. The phones
58:50
Speaker 1: got pad on the line. Pat, thanks for holding over
58:52
Speaker 1: the break there walking on the program.
58:54
Speaker 10: Good morning, Brian, how are you doing today?
58:56
Speaker 1: I'm doing pretty good, man. I cannot I can say honestly.
58:59
Speaker 1: I hope you can say the same.
59:01
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, well, yesterday I saw a guy riding his
59:03
Speaker 10: motorcycle this morning, and I ah ride all ride.
59:09
Speaker 7: No.
59:10
Speaker 1: I have the fairest of weather motorcycle riders, so much
59:15
Speaker 1: so that I think I only put like five hundred
59:17
Speaker 1: miles on my bike all of last year. I do
59:19
Speaker 1: not ride a whole lot, but there's no way in
59:21
Speaker 1: hell I would even know. I'm not jumping into a
59:24
Speaker 1: frozen lake in the middle of winter either, Pat Well.
59:28
Speaker 10: And swimming the Ohio either. Yesterday there were parts of
59:31
Speaker 10: the Ohio that were completely ice covered, but by the
59:34
Speaker 10: afternoon they had cleared up. But that still doesn't mean, yeah,
59:37
Speaker 10: I want to do a polar swim. That right, an
59:39
Speaker 10: intellectual endeavor, no one. The first thing that got my
59:44
Speaker 10: goat yesterday was politicians trying to pass laws that would
59:49
Speaker 10: basically make it so that illegal marijuana could come back
59:53
Speaker 10: into the into the forefront instead of having legalized, controlled, taxed.
59:59
Speaker 10: Mari wanted that you can't lace the fentanyl, and I
1:00:03
Speaker 10: do not understand why the voice of the people is
1:00:06
Speaker 10: being ignored.
1:00:07
Speaker 4: Again.
1:00:10
Speaker 10: I do not agree with constant use of it, nor
1:00:12
Speaker 10: do I agree with constant drinking, but to make it
1:00:15
Speaker 10: so that the illegal stuff can be available easily again
1:00:20
Speaker 10: while it's always been available.
1:00:21
Speaker 1: Pat, But I guess what specifically referring to the legalization
1:00:25
Speaker 1: that the fifty seven percent of a Highlands voted for
1:00:27
Speaker 1: by way of recreational legalization or I think it's SB
1:00:32
Speaker 1: fifty six, which is a ballot petition out which is
1:00:35
Speaker 1: trying to unring the bell of the subsequent laws that
1:00:37
Speaker 1: were passed by our elected officials in Columbus which take
1:00:41
Speaker 1: away some of the lawful status of certain products like
1:00:44
Speaker 1: the beverages and also put limitations on open container marijuana
1:00:48
Speaker 1: products versus closed ones that kind of thing.
1:00:51
Speaker 3: What are you focusing on, Well, see, I just I
1:00:55
Speaker 3: think that the the legalization of recreational because not not
1:01:00
Speaker 3: only is it an effective pain killer, but it takes
1:01:03
Speaker 3: away the opportunity for illegal merchandising to be available to
1:01:09
Speaker 3: people that could increase the opportunity for fentanyl to be
1:01:13
Speaker 3: used on it.
1:01:14
Speaker 1: Well, I agree with you to a certain extent because
1:01:18
Speaker 1: anything sold in one of the licensed stores must be tested,
1:01:23
Speaker 1: so you're going to get an accurate reflection of how
1:01:25
Speaker 1: much THC is in it. The other components will make
1:01:27
Speaker 1: it up, and it's also been tested to make sure
1:01:29
Speaker 1: it doesn't have drugs in it, So that's a safety issue.
1:01:31
Speaker 1: So I would think paying extra for marijuana in order
1:01:34
Speaker 1: to ensure that it's safe would be a prudent decision.
1:01:37
Speaker 1: But just because it's legal in the sense you can
1:01:39
Speaker 1: go out and buy it and it is safe doesn't
1:01:41
Speaker 1: mean there aren't people out in the world still selling
1:01:44
Speaker 1: it illegally on the black market because they can sell
1:01:48
Speaker 1: it cheaper those pesky laws of prices. You can buy
1:01:52
Speaker 1: something from a pedler on the street for a lot
1:01:55
Speaker 1: less money than you can in a brick and mortar
1:01:57
Speaker 1: legalized weed store, because of course it's brick and overhead,
1:02:00
Speaker 1: electricity bills, overhead, paying to have testing, overhead, and the
1:02:04
Speaker 1: extra taxes, so you're competing for price point there.
1:02:08
Speaker 10: And see, I would err on the side of not
1:02:12
Speaker 10: playing Russian roulette.
1:02:13
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, A smart pat pat, A smart person does
1:02:18
Speaker 1: that for the reasons I just mentioned it. Maybe a
1:02:20
Speaker 1: whole lot more. But you know, we're talking about maybe
1:02:25
Speaker 1: people on budgets and stoners and young people who are like,
1:02:28
Speaker 1: I don't have forty dollars, I've got twenty and there's
1:02:31
Speaker 1: a guy in the storm in the corner selling you
1:02:33
Speaker 1: weed for twenty bucks, and oh lo and behold, it's
1:02:35
Speaker 1: gott fentanyl.
1:02:35
Speaker 10: In it or may Yeah, see the whole recreational thing. Okay, yeah,
1:02:43
Speaker 10: I see it. I smell it all the time, and
1:02:46
Speaker 10: I do with the level of thac in it. Now,
1:02:50
Speaker 10: how in the world can people be even moderately functional
1:02:54
Speaker 10: when they're under the influence of weed. That's that's strong
1:02:57
Speaker 10: and I just scratched my head. But I mean, it
1:02:59
Speaker 10: is a choice that you make. And then this is
1:03:03
Speaker 10: a free country. But you at a certain point having
1:03:06
Speaker 10: it in pop or beverages and having it in gummies
1:03:10
Speaker 10: that you know, you can walk around and you're eating
1:03:13
Speaker 10: a gummy and next thing you know, the kids sitting
1:03:15
Speaker 10: next to you in class is acting bizarre. Well, it's
1:03:18
Speaker 10: probably because they've got into mommy and Daddy's gummies or
1:03:21
Speaker 10: somebody sold them some, and now they're going to be
1:03:24
Speaker 10: stupid the rest of the day, and they're gonna probably
1:03:25
Speaker 10: go out in protest with walle of deal scars.
1:03:28
Speaker 1: That's certainly possible, But you're pointing out problems that have
1:03:31
Speaker 1: existed since well the down of mankind drugs. As long
1:03:35
Speaker 1: as there are drugs out there, legal or illegal, people
1:03:38
Speaker 1: are gonna make terrible choices and terrible things are going
1:03:41
Speaker 1: to happen. And yes, you're gonna have some space cadets
1:03:43
Speaker 1: floating around out there. But then that again is a
1:03:45
Speaker 1: problem that we've been dealing with since the Donna Mankind
1:03:48
Speaker 1: on fifty five k the tog station sixty if you
1:03:53
Speaker 1: have KRCD talk station, very Happy Friday Eve after the
1:03:57
Speaker 1: top of the our news in studio for a full hour.
1:03:59
Speaker 1: Ur is a watchdog and a friend of the committee
1:04:02
Speaker 1: in the City of Cincinnay Todd's ends er and Congressman
1:04:04
Speaker 1: David Taylor at eight oh five on the government shutdown
1:04:06
Speaker 1: being averted. Uh, maybe a little talk about pork. It
1:04:13
Speaker 1: was a list of Finley that wrote about that. Yes,
1:04:15
Speaker 1: GOP porkaholics or Kim Mary Strassel. Check it out Today's
1:04:18
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal GOP Porkaholics earmarks are back, Baby big
1:04:24
Speaker 1: Lee subheading. Yeah, there's a lot of that going on again. Anyway,
1:04:28
Speaker 1: Maybe a little bit on that deporting Frosters act, as
1:04:31
Speaker 1: well as the expanding broadband and Appalachia topic. Jay Raytler
1:04:34
Speaker 1: at eight thirty. I heard me the aviation expert, and
1:04:37
Speaker 1: once again thanks for everybody he made it to listener
1:04:39
Speaker 1: lunch yet I had a fabulous time, great crowd, and
1:04:41
Speaker 1: hello to all of the folks who had first time
1:04:44
Speaker 1: listener to lunch folks. Just terrific time there, and yes
1:04:47
Speaker 1: I lost cribbage just by two points a nod to
1:04:50
Speaker 1: cribbage Mike, and if you wait long enough, you realize
1:04:53
Speaker 1: that you were right. Not connected with listener lunch. This
1:04:56
Speaker 1: next article I want to bring up to speed here.
1:05:00
Speaker 1: It's one of those who can argue with that kind
1:05:02
Speaker 1: of thing. All these crazies out in the streets talking
1:05:04
Speaker 1: about transgender rights, and you know, don't interfere with my
1:05:06
Speaker 1: transgender surgery. This is necessary a gender affirming care. You
1:05:11
Speaker 1: shouldn't tell a fifteen year old that a girl that
1:05:14
Speaker 1: she should have or that she shouldn't have her breast
1:05:16
Speaker 1: lopped off she thinks she's a guy, go ahead and
1:05:19
Speaker 1: do it. That kind of thing, and you scratch your
1:05:21
Speaker 1: head and you wonder, is this really happen? Does the
1:05:23
Speaker 1: medical community grasp the horror of this mutilation? Are there
1:05:29
Speaker 1: no ethics in morals anymore? Do they really truly believe
1:05:33
Speaker 1: you can turn a male into a female or a
1:05:35
Speaker 1: female into a male, despite the fact that the chromosomes
1:05:38
Speaker 1: never change, merely by altering the exterior, you know what,
1:05:42
Speaker 1: you can see parts of a human being, and you're
1:05:47
Speaker 1: all going out, there's no way that's not right, It
1:05:49
Speaker 1: could never be right. But yet they're doing it well.
1:05:51
Speaker 1: Wait long enough, and someone's going to get a two
1:05:54
Speaker 1: million dollars a civil lawsuit settlement for the gender mutilation
1:05:58
Speaker 1: that happened, that just happened the other day. The first
1:06:00
Speaker 1: of what will ultimately be many who regret that these
1:06:03
Speaker 1: adults in the room push them toward dangerous choices. Welcome
1:06:11
Speaker 1: to the first domino to fall. The American Society of
1:06:14
Speaker 1: Plastic Surgeons as now recommending that member physicians refrain from
1:06:18
Speaker 1: performing gender transition surgeries on anybody under the age of nineteen.
1:06:22
Speaker 1: And you know what, who else is coming along on board?
1:06:25
Speaker 1: The American Medical Association, they too have signaled that they're
1:06:28
Speaker 1: going to do the same thing as the American Society
1:06:30
Speaker 1: of Plastic Surgeons. Don't do it. The Plastic Surgeons Group's
1:06:36
Speaker 1: position statement quote when uncertainty occurs not just the magnitude
1:06:42
Speaker 1: of the benefit, but the existence of the benefit in
1:06:44
Speaker 1: and out of itself, and when potential harms are irreversible
1:06:49
Speaker 1: and identity defining, the principles of beneficence and non moleficence
1:06:55
Speaker 1: require a more precautionary approach. You gotta do a little
1:07:00
Speaker 1: weighing of the cost benefit analysis. Is the boiled down
1:07:03
Speaker 1: version of that former ASPS president Scott Brady Glassberg, quoted
1:07:09
Speaker 1: in The New York Times, there's no data to suggest
1:07:11
Speaker 1: that you can predict who will benefit from surgery and
1:07:14
Speaker 1: who will have negative outcome. That requires taking the side
1:07:18
Speaker 1: of caution, which means deferring or postponing these surgeries until
1:07:22
Speaker 1: the age of nineteen, called nineteen arbitrary. At least that
1:07:26
Speaker 1: person is an adult and can make adult choices. Accord
1:07:33
Speaker 1: to the report of the overwhelming majority of gender altering
1:07:35
Speaker 1: surgeries performed on minors are mass sectomies and yes. Last
1:07:39
Speaker 1: week in New York, jury found a psychologist and a
1:07:41
Speaker 1: surgeon lible from olpractice after lopping off the breast of
1:07:45
Speaker 1: a sixteen year old girl, who ultimately lived with a
1:07:48
Speaker 1: tremendous amount of regret, filed a lawsuit. She's now twenty
1:07:52
Speaker 1: two and does identify as a woman now whoops, I
1:07:55
Speaker 1: was a young person, I made a mistake, and she
1:08:01
Speaker 1: now identifies as a millionaire. And a statement from ASPS,
1:08:06
Speaker 1: they pointed to Finland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, all
1:08:09
Speaker 1: of whom have upgraded their guidance to recommend against endocrine
1:08:13
Speaker 1: that will be the chemical component and surgical interventions for
1:08:16
Speaker 1: miners good going over to the American Medical Association, asked
1:08:23
Speaker 1: on Tuesday if they would update their stance. AMA, speaking
1:08:29
Speaker 1: with National Reviews, said that because the evidence for gender
1:08:33
Speaker 1: affirming surgical intervention in minors is insufficient for us to
1:08:36
Speaker 1: make a definitive statement, the AMA agrees with the ASPS
1:08:41
Speaker 1: that surgical interventions on miners should be generally deferred to adulthood.
1:08:48
Speaker 1: Ce you and I were right all along. Six fifty
1:08:52
Speaker 1: five afty five ker City Talk steation in studio Citizen

Speaker 1: are you stick around the whole hour. You're gonna get
1:09:39
Speaker 1: an eye full of I kin don't know if I
1:09:41
Speaker 1: call it corruption in government, lots of incompetence and huge
1:09:45
Speaker 1: declarations of shenanigans, which is how I like to boil
1:09:47
Speaker 1: these things down, including uh, the three hundred million dollars
1:09:51
Speaker 1: in funding that the city got for pandemic relief. Wait
1:09:54
Speaker 1: to you here where that went and what's in store
1:09:57
Speaker 1: force in the future. We'll determine what's going on with

Speaker 1: the railroad money. Wow wow Cincinnati. Yes, they want another
1:10:07
Speaker 1: solar energy farm virtue signaling from the City of Cincinnati.
1:10:10
Speaker 1: And what is an emergency which the city uses for
1:10:14
Speaker 1: emergency ordinances? Todd Zinzer, You know, I say, just I'm
1:10:18
Speaker 1: gonna pick the solar panel. Can we can we go
1:10:21
Speaker 1: about this to start with, because they're all equally mind boggling, Yes,
1:10:25
Speaker 1: all right, the City of Cincinnati is it's this part
1:10:28
Speaker 1: of that green energy policy that they're pursuing, right, that's right. Okay,
1:10:33
Speaker 1: is this Do they have a date by which we're
1:10:35
Speaker 1: supposed to be carbon neutral or some other odd nonsense.
1:10:38
Speaker 2: The goal is to be carbon neutral and Cincinnati by
1:10:42
Speaker 2: twenty fifty.
1:10:43
Speaker 1: Okay, Now, just let me throw out there. Does anybody
1:10:46
Speaker 1: outside of the city limits in Hamilton County or Butler
1:10:49
Speaker 1: Warren Adams County, my friends in northern Kentucky, any of
1:10:53
Speaker 1: those folks striving to be carbon neutral by the same date,
1:10:57
Speaker 1: Not that I know of. We all breathe the same
1:10:58
Speaker 1: mayor does it kind of blow across areas? Okay? And
1:11:03
Speaker 1: we even get win from China, don't we in India
1:11:05
Speaker 1: and Turkey and other countries who don't even lift a
1:11:07
Speaker 1: finger to get carbon dioxide out of the plant off
1:11:09
Speaker 1: out of the atmosphere.
1:11:10
Speaker 2: As far as I know, it's.
1:11:11
Speaker 1: One big round globe, right, Okay, because I've heard those
1:11:14
Speaker 1: arguments made before. Okay, will this accomplish anything by way
1:11:20
Speaker 1: of global carbon dioxide reductions? Given the realities of what
1:11:25
Speaker 1: we just talked about. I know, I'm just asking sort
1:11:27
Speaker 1: of you know, rhetorical questions here, Todd.
1:11:29
Speaker 2: But yeah, if you read the city manager's January fourteenth memo,
1:11:34
Speaker 2: it is going to produced carbon neutrality by globally.
1:11:40
Speaker 1: Oh that's good.
1:11:41
Speaker 2: No, it's I think it's only going to be in
1:11:42
Speaker 2: a city.
1:11:44
Speaker 1: This is the dumb part about it. You got a
1:11:46
Speaker 1: finite number of dollars. Are we still thirty one? True?
1:11:48
Speaker 1: A million dollars in the hole in terms of our budget.
1:11:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's still the projected deficit.
1:11:52
Speaker 1: All right, so we have we are underwater, we have
1:11:54
Speaker 1: no extra money. And yet they're pursuing the building of
1:11:59
Speaker 1: a solar panel and they already have one, don't they.
1:12:01
Speaker 2: Yes, they do.
1:12:02
Speaker 1: Okay, let's walk through that one real quick. Rewind history.
1:12:05
Speaker 1: And the city of Cincinnati paid for a solar panel
1:12:08
Speaker 1: farm somewhere.
1:12:09
Speaker 2: Yes, it's it's out east a little ways. I forget
1:12:12
Speaker 2: which county it's in. It's called the new Market Solar Array,
1:12:15
Speaker 2: So it's new Market, Ohio, I think.
1:12:17
Speaker 1: And you've got a power line hooked up from out
1:12:19
Speaker 1: there into the city.
1:12:20
Speaker 2: Well that's interesting because and their proposal for the new
1:12:24
Speaker 2: solar array they say they already have a distribution network
1:12:29
Speaker 2: that exists there. So I don't know. I don't know
1:12:31
Speaker 2: what that is. But I don't either, I don't really
1:12:34
Speaker 2: know how it all works.
1:12:35
Speaker 1: Brian, Okay, look good, because if you don't know, I
1:12:38
Speaker 1: take great comfort in that because I truly consider you
1:12:41
Speaker 1: to be a brilliant man, and you've been demonstrably brilliant.
1:12:44
Speaker 1: So we got a solar panel array. Is there any
1:12:47
Speaker 1: information that's been produced that shows how much that solar
1:12:51
Speaker 1: panel array that we've already paid for, the one that
1:12:53
Speaker 1: you just mentioned, how much power generates, and whether there
1:12:56
Speaker 1: was the return on investment that I presume we were
1:12:58
Speaker 1: promised from it.
1:12:59
Speaker 2: Well, when this proposal was put on the agenda, I
1:13:03
Speaker 2: went ahead and looked for performance information for the existing
1:13:08
Speaker 2: solar panel array, which if.
1:13:10
Speaker 1: It worked, great, they'd be waving it around everywhere, wouldn't they.
1:13:12
Speaker 2: I would think, so, yeah, they're pretty good at that.
1:13:15
Speaker 1: Yeah they are.
1:13:16
Speaker 2: But my problem with the way this works, and this
1:13:22
Speaker 2: is also an emergency ordinance, which is a whole other issue.
1:13:25
Speaker 1: So we got to hurry up and build another solar
1:13:28
Speaker 1: array up panel? Yes, okay, okay.
1:13:30
Speaker 2: And I didn't see any information that the city council
1:13:36
Speaker 2: members relied on to make this decision. You have a memo,
1:13:40
Speaker 2: a two page memo from the from the city manager,
1:13:44
Speaker 2: and they were presented with a fifteen page PowerPoint presentation
1:13:48
Speaker 2: with a lot of photos and big print, and that
1:13:53
Speaker 2: that presentation I looked and that was from twenty twenty four,
1:13:58
Speaker 2: So that was that was pre he's ended before the
1:14:02
Speaker 2: federal government withheld a ten million dollar grand for the project.
1:14:07
Speaker 2: And so now rather than say, you know what, we're
1:14:10
Speaker 2: gonna wait and see what happens here, they're going to
1:14:13
Speaker 2: spend the city's own money to put that solarray panel
1:14:17
Speaker 2: to the tune of twelve million dollars.
1:14:18
Speaker 1: Right, a new solary And by the way, just tracker
1:14:22
Speaker 1: looked it up. New Market Solar array is in Highland County.
1:14:24
Speaker 1: He says, it's over near the Serpent Mound. Oh yeah, okay,
1:14:28
Speaker 1: it's up there, removed from the city limits and outside
1:14:31
Speaker 1: of the Hamilton County even yes, all right, So, with
1:14:37
Speaker 1: no information about whether that one works or even met
1:14:39
Speaker 1: the expectations, they're going to build another one. They were
1:14:45
Speaker 1: expecting federal grant money to cover the whole thing, basically
1:14:48
Speaker 1: so they could virtue signal without it costing anyone any
1:14:51
Speaker 1: money within the budget for it within the city's budget. Right,
1:14:55
Speaker 1: the plug got pulled on it for a multitude of reasons,
1:14:59
Speaker 1: most notably that they don't produce the electricity that they promise,
1:15:02
Speaker 1: and they are more expensive to build and operate, and
1:15:06
Speaker 1: yet the city is going to move forward in spite
1:15:08
Speaker 1: of the fact they got a thirty one million dollar
1:15:10
Speaker 1: hole to fill going forward, it's twelve million dollars.
1:15:13
Speaker 2: I think you had said, that's what the city has
1:15:15
Speaker 2: put aside now to spend on that. Yes, twelve million.
1:15:18
Speaker 1: And all for an objective that is like trying to
1:15:22
Speaker 1: chase your tail and the reduction of carbon dioxide by
1:15:26
Speaker 1: one city, as if it's going to have any impact
1:15:27
Speaker 1: on the globe at all whatsoever.
1:15:29
Speaker 2: Right, that's my perspective.
1:15:30
Speaker 1: Anyway, Okay, I'm having trouble making sense of how they
1:15:34
Speaker 1: can support moving forward this tot. I mean, come on,
1:15:37
Speaker 1: do we not have potholes that continue to need to
1:15:40
Speaker 1: be filled. Is there not infrastructure that is still crumbling?
1:15:42
Speaker 1: Are there not neighborhoods that are in need of law
1:15:44
Speaker 1: enforcement and maybe some street cameras or whatever we do
1:15:48
Speaker 1: to help improve neighborhoods and make communities safer.
1:15:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I went down to city Hall and
1:15:54
Speaker 2: claim my two minutes to talk to the council, and
1:15:56
Speaker 2: that's what I said. I said, don't you have better
1:15:59
Speaker 2: things to do? With twelve million dollars, I'd say a
1:16:01
Speaker 2: lot of money.
1:16:02
Speaker 1: But they're not obligated to answer your questions, are they.
1:16:04
Speaker 2: No, they don't. It's not a back and forth.
1:16:06
Speaker 1: So it's like talking to a wall.
1:16:08
Speaker 6: Uh.
1:16:09
Speaker 2: You could say that, yeah.
1:16:10
Speaker 1: Did you send them a letter or anything that would
1:16:12
Speaker 1: obligate them to follow up? I mean, I know they're
1:16:14
Speaker 1: freedom of information and actor questions and things of that nature,
1:16:16
Speaker 1: but you can't force them to answer a logical, reasonable question,
1:16:19
Speaker 1: can you.
1:16:19
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't think I send a letter after after
1:16:22
Speaker 2: that two minutes, but I have sent letters in the
1:16:25
Speaker 2: past just to kind of confirm what I've said in
1:16:28
Speaker 2: my two minutes. I never get a response. They don't
1:16:32
Speaker 2: respond back, even though the council rules say they they
1:16:35
Speaker 2: should take these correspondent seriously and do their best to respond.
1:16:41
Speaker 2: I haven't brought that up to them one time.
1:16:43
Speaker 1: Well, Todd, I'm I'm struggling to find I mean, I
1:16:48
Speaker 1: can't see literally anything that the city's going to benefit
1:16:51
Speaker 1: from this at all. Well, I know there's I mean,
1:16:55
Speaker 1: there's some people that there's got to be a bunch
1:16:57
Speaker 1: of very far hardcore blue voters out there who live
1:17:01
Speaker 1: in one of these neighborhoods where they just believe that
1:17:03
Speaker 1: the Democrat answer is going to They're going to solve
1:17:05
Speaker 1: every problem in the neighborhood. Oh, we just got to
1:17:07
Speaker 1: vote for Democrats. They're gonna come over here and whatever
1:17:09
Speaker 1: they think is going to happen in any given neighborhood.
1:17:12
Speaker 1: Does anyone truly believe that those folks in those neighborhoods
1:17:16
Speaker 1: that need some attention put this on their priority list
1:17:19
Speaker 1: at all? In the top ten things that any person
1:17:22
Speaker 1: in any neighborhood in the fifty two in the city
1:17:24
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati got a list, what do you think the
1:17:26
Speaker 1: city should do here to make my life better? I
1:17:30
Speaker 1: garon Blanc and Tee. As I sit here, not one
1:17:32
Speaker 1: is going to say we need a solar panel farm.
1:17:35
Speaker 2: Right, No, it's it's it's definitely just dogma. You know
1:17:38
Speaker 2: that all this stuff about you know, carbon neutrality, and
1:17:42
Speaker 2: you know, may maybe it'll do some good. I don't know,
1:17:45
Speaker 2: but I don't think it's a very good business. It's
1:17:48
Speaker 2: business decision.
1:17:48
Speaker 1: It's going to do good for the solar panel manufacturers,
1:17:51
Speaker 1: which is ultimately China, the individuals who will be installing
1:17:55
Speaker 1: the solar panels, and the people who are left to
1:17:58
Speaker 1: maintain and upkeep the solar panels, which I spect will
1:18:01
Speaker 1: be a higher priority than the roads in the city
1:18:03
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. We just got a foot of snow. We
1:18:06
Speaker 1: could go. I wonder what that panel farm up in
1:18:09
Speaker 1: Highland County look like? And did they have to hire
1:18:11
Speaker 1: people to shovel the snow off of the panels? Because
1:18:13
Speaker 1: I have to guess Todd, and I am a dumb man.
1:18:16
Speaker 1: I'll admit I'm not versed in matters of scientific or
1:18:19
Speaker 1: how solar panels or the sun transform. The sun is
1:18:23
Speaker 1: transformed into the flow of electricity, but as I sit here,
1:18:26
Speaker 1: I wanted to bet every single dime I have that
1:18:29
Speaker 1: if the solar panels covered by a foot of snow,
1:18:31
Speaker 1: it's not going to generate electricity seven to fifteen right now,
1:18:34
Speaker 1: if you have ker City Talk station, what do you
1:18:36
Speaker 1: hear what they did with the the talk station seven
1:18:40
Speaker 1: nineteen If you have ker City Talk Station. Brian Thomas
1:18:43
Speaker 1: was Citizen Watchdog. Todd Senser Citizen Watchdog the name of
1:18:47
Speaker 1: the podcast, and of course defines Todd's role a self
1:18:50
Speaker 1: appointed role in pointing out the batcrap insanity of the
1:18:54
Speaker 1: City of Cincinnati and its priorities. Okay, so we dealt
1:18:56
Speaker 1: with the epic epic fail that is the solar pane.
1:19:00
Speaker 1: Given the list of priorities we have in the city,
1:19:03
Speaker 1: God Almighty, let us pivot over to three hundred million
1:19:07
Speaker 1: dollars the city of Cincinnati received as a for pandemic relief.
1:19:12
Speaker 1: This is COVID nineteen money. This was episode forty five
1:19:15
Speaker 1: of Todd Zenzer's Citizen Watchdog. Find Citizen Watchdog and listen
1:19:19
Speaker 1: to what he has to say about it, which we
1:19:20
Speaker 1: will scratch the service of Right now, what was the
1:19:24
Speaker 1: money designed for?
1:19:25
Speaker 6: Todd?
1:19:25
Speaker 1: I've always been of the mindset that that was a
1:19:27
Speaker 1: sort of a nefarious way using COVID nineteen as an
1:19:31
Speaker 1: excuse to shovel massive millions of dollars to a lot
1:19:36
Speaker 1: of underwater leftist leaning cities like New York was having
1:19:40
Speaker 1: budget problems Los Angeles. Then you enter COVID, nobody's working.
1:19:43
Speaker 1: The problem gets worse. All the things that had already
1:19:46
Speaker 1: dug him into the hole got worse. So if we
1:19:48
Speaker 1: just throw all kinds of money at these cities, they
1:19:50
Speaker 1: can level their budgetary whole playing field and then maybe
1:19:53
Speaker 1: choose a better path and direction going forward. So we've
1:19:56
Speaker 1: reset things, we've started from scratch. You no longer our
1:20:00
Speaker 1: in financial peril because of your COVID nineteen money. So
1:20:04
Speaker 1: we were in a similar position, not as bad as
1:20:06
Speaker 1: in New York or Los Angeles or Chicago, but we
1:20:08
Speaker 1: had our budget problems going into COVID nineteen. So lo
1:20:11
Speaker 1: and behold how much? How many millions of dollars did
1:20:13
Speaker 1: we get in COVID nineteen money.
1:20:15
Speaker 2: Well, there's two different tranches. There's the first tranch was
1:20:18
Speaker 2: called the CARES Act, and that was under Trump and
1:20:21
Speaker 2: Trump's last year, right, and that was like the payroll
1:20:25
Speaker 2: Protection Plan. Everybody got us a check sometimes stimulus check.
1:20:31
Speaker 2: Fraught of that and different different things about immediate needs
1:20:36
Speaker 2: that the cities were going to suffer because of the
1:20:39
Speaker 2: they shut down commerce, et cetera. So that was the
1:20:42
Speaker 2: CARES Act. And then when Biden comes along, they passed
1:20:46
Speaker 2: the American Recovery Plan Act, and that put two point
1:20:51
Speaker 2: five trillion dollars into the economy, and about five hundred
1:20:58
Speaker 2: a billion of that was to the state and local governments.
1:21:03
Speaker 2: So that's the pool of money. And the city got
1:21:06
Speaker 2: about three hundred million dollars and two tranches, one in
1:21:11
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two and one in twenty three, and so
1:21:15
Speaker 2: they had until December of twenty four to obligate it all,
1:21:19
Speaker 2: which they've done. They've obligated one hundred percent of it
1:21:22
Speaker 2: from what I can tell, and they claim I'm trying
1:21:25
Speaker 2: to figure out how much they have left. It's very difficult,
1:21:29
Speaker 2: and I'll get into that, I guess, but I think
1:21:33
Speaker 2: they have about twenty five to thirty million dollars left
1:21:37
Speaker 2: to spend. But what they did is the Treasury Department
1:21:43
Speaker 2: let the cities put their funds in four different groups,
1:21:49
Speaker 2: and each group had different levels of kind of accountability.
1:21:54
Speaker 1: So here we go the cities.
1:21:57
Speaker 2: The city decided to put two hundred and it got
1:22:00
Speaker 2: three two hundred and eighty million dollars. Let's say they
1:22:04
Speaker 2: put two hundred and forty million of that into what's
1:22:07
Speaker 2: called revenue replacement. And revenue replacement is this catch all category.
1:22:13
Speaker 2: And as a result of that, they the city announced
1:22:16
Speaker 2: in their twenty twenty five report to the Treasury Department
1:22:21
Speaker 2: that they had created sixty new programs in contract signings.
1:22:30
Speaker 1: We're talking NGOs here, aren't we.
1:22:32
Speaker 2: Absolutely that's sixty new ones, sixty new programs. So when
1:22:38
Speaker 2: I when you look at it. So I went to
1:22:42
Speaker 2: their financial statements to see, okay, how did what was
1:22:45
Speaker 2: the increase in revenue during those years? And what I
1:22:49
Speaker 2: looked at. What I looked at was the grants. What
1:22:53
Speaker 2: was the level of federal grants that the city received
1:22:55
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two versus twenty nineteen before or COVID
1:23:01
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, the city got forty four million dollars in grants.
1:23:06
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty one with this COVID money, they got
1:23:09
Speaker 2: one hundred and ninety eight million dollars, and then the
1:23:13
Speaker 2: following year they got one hundred and seventy one million dollars.
1:23:16
Speaker 2: So each year they got between one hundred and twenty
1:23:19
Speaker 2: and one hundred and fifty million dollars more than what
1:23:22
Speaker 2: they had received prior to COVID. And you see programs
1:23:27
Speaker 2: like an Act for Sincey, the Financial Freedom Blueprint, which
1:23:32
Speaker 2: has all these different programs to help the underserved. You
1:23:38
Speaker 2: have the Green Cincinnati Plan. All of that appears to
1:23:42
Speaker 2: have been funded by this COVID money that the city received.
1:23:47
Speaker 1: Well, it's a finite number of dollars. It's COVID related.
1:23:51
Speaker 1: COVID's gone. We're not getting any more big piles of
1:23:54
Speaker 1: money from the federal government. So that means, right, Todd Zensert,
1:23:58
Speaker 1: that all of these plans that were funded by that
1:24:01
Speaker 1: short term injection or infusion of cash won't be funded
1:24:05
Speaker 1: going forward. They'll have to close shop and go away, right,
1:24:08
Speaker 1: I mean, isn't that the normal course of matters, Toddzenzer?
1:24:11
Speaker 6: Right?
1:24:12
Speaker 2: What happened is they took these one time pots of
1:24:15
Speaker 2: money and they established continuing programs with that instead of
1:24:20
Speaker 2: one time uses.
1:24:21
Speaker 1: I knew the answered My question was no, No, They're
1:24:23
Speaker 1: going to continue. So I guess the other weird thing
1:24:27
Speaker 1: about this are you telling me that at the time
1:24:30
Speaker 1: these sixty new grant programs were set up, that there
1:24:34
Speaker 1: was no other prior program that was out there that
1:24:37
Speaker 1: was designed to serve whatever need they identified? Well, these
1:24:41
Speaker 1: outstanding needs had existed for such a long time and
1:24:44
Speaker 1: were finally getting around to them sixty different NGOs. Right, Well,
1:24:50
Speaker 1: I can't say that, because of course the SEC would
1:24:52
Speaker 1: not be happy with me.
1:24:53
Speaker 2: Well, because of the way that the city decided to
1:24:57
Speaker 2: categorize these these moneies, what they spent it on. You
1:25:02
Speaker 2: have to keep digging down and down, and yeah, you
1:25:05
Speaker 2: would actually have to get and I will probably do
1:25:08
Speaker 2: that you try to get the ledger accounts to see
1:25:12
Speaker 2: exactly who got the checks. There's some high level groups
1:25:17
Speaker 2: that are announced that received like the Urban League got
1:25:21
Speaker 2: one hundred and got one point five million, y WCA
1:25:26
Speaker 2: got money. I mean, the list goes on and on,
1:25:29
Speaker 2: but you don't really know what they used it for
1:25:31
Speaker 2: and how how did the city decide which group gets
1:25:35
Speaker 2: which money? That is all still behind the curtain.
1:25:37
Speaker 1: Oh my word. We have more a full hour of
1:25:41
Speaker 1: this with Citizen Watchdog Todds ins or. I don't know
1:25:43
Speaker 1: if I can say it only gets worse, but will
1:25:45
Speaker 1: continue on the perilous path that we're on Station Krcity
1:25:52
Speaker 1: Talk Station Brian Thalmas, citizen with Citizen Watchdog, Former Inspector
1:25:55
Speaker 1: General for the United States Todds Ends are going through
1:25:57
Speaker 1: some of the issues in the city, Sin say that
1:25:59
Speaker 1: you saw figured out and we were still talking about
1:26:03
Speaker 1: this three hundred roughly three hundred million dollars in COVID
1:26:05
Speaker 1: nineteen money, some of which or a large chunk of
1:26:08
Speaker 1: which allocated to sixty brand new non governmental organization programs
1:26:14
Speaker 1: which will will necessarily have to be funded on an
1:26:17
Speaker 1: ongoing basis going forward. Not that we have any idea
1:26:21
Speaker 1: what the money is actually being used for it even if,
1:26:24
Speaker 1: as you pointed out as we were into the break,
1:26:27
Speaker 1: the YMCA is getting some on its face like, well,
1:26:29
Speaker 1: who can argue with govern some money to the YMCA
1:26:31
Speaker 1: that helps the community and provides place for activities and
1:26:34
Speaker 1: breah blah blah, But we don't know what the YMCA
1:26:37
Speaker 1: did with the money. And that's the problem that extends
1:26:40
Speaker 1: throughout all of these grants. And this is not just
1:26:42
Speaker 1: a Cincinnati problem, folks. And one of the beautiful things
1:26:44
Speaker 1: we can point to the city of Cincinnati because it's
1:26:46
Speaker 1: relative to my local listeners, even folks who don't live
1:26:49
Speaker 1: in it. But this is illustrative of the national plague
1:26:53
Speaker 1: we've got going on with non governmental organizations getting our
1:26:56
Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars.
1:26:57
Speaker 2: That's definitely correct, no question about it.
1:27:00
Speaker 1: I'd love to see what the Democrat Party would look like,
1:27:02
Speaker 1: or even the Republicans the extent they're involved in any
1:27:04
Speaker 1: of this. If you could just magically waive the wand
1:27:07
Speaker 1: and eliminate all fraud in any program. That's not to
1:27:14
Speaker 1: take all the money away from all the programs, because
1:27:17
Speaker 1: there may be some that are actually accomplishing what they promised.
1:27:19
Speaker 1: To accomplish if we knew what they were doing with
1:27:21
Speaker 1: the money. But just the ones that are taking the
1:27:24
Speaker 1: money and sending it to political campaigns, or lining their
1:27:26
Speaker 1: own pockets or paying themselves handsome salaries, you know, making
1:27:29
Speaker 1: six figure salaries that work because I work for a
1:27:32
Speaker 1: nonprofit work, that would be an amazing thing to but hold.
1:27:35
Speaker 1: It would also be interesting to see how the Democrat
1:27:37
Speaker 1: Party would do by way of funding if all that
1:27:39
Speaker 1: fraud money disappeared. Anyway, Todd, you had something more to
1:27:42
Speaker 1: say about this three hundred million dollars in COVID money.
1:27:46
Speaker 2: Well, the reason I went back and looked at the
1:27:48
Speaker 2: COVID money and was because of the noise coming out
1:27:51
Speaker 2: of City Hall that they want to raise the arnings tax. Yeah,
1:27:57
Speaker 2: and when I look at their books, they got a
1:28:00
Speaker 2: lot of money. And if they try to use the
1:28:04
Speaker 2: loss of COVID money as a reason to increase the
1:28:08
Speaker 2: earnings tax, that would not be honest.
1:28:11
Speaker 1: No, it would not be honest. Todd. You don't really
1:28:14
Speaker 1: truly expect honesty from this administration, do you.
1:28:17
Speaker 2: Well, Unfortunately, it's really hard to understand exactly what the
1:28:24
Speaker 2: city is doing all the time. Well, they're not transparent
1:28:27
Speaker 2: I can tell you.
1:28:28
Speaker 1: That they're not. They hide information that should be readily available,
1:28:33
Speaker 1: which leads you, notably and in expert capacity to speculate,
1:28:38
Speaker 1: and folks like me who don't have that level of
1:28:40
Speaker 1: knowledge to speculate and go down some tangent like, oh
1:28:43
Speaker 1: my god, this is truly nefarious. And we can come
1:28:45
Speaker 1: up with a million different ways about why this is
1:28:47
Speaker 1: just outright wrong, if not make a good argument that
1:28:50
Speaker 1: it could be even criminal.
1:28:52
Speaker 2: Well, the thing that really bothers me is that the
1:28:55
Speaker 2: city council has no interest in oversight of the city administration.
1:29:01
Speaker 2: They just go right along and that's all.
1:29:04
Speaker 1: It's a part time job, Todd. You can't be expected
1:29:07
Speaker 1: to mind the store when it's a part time job.
1:29:10
Speaker 2: Well, they're not even curious. And that's what really bothers me.
1:29:13
Speaker 2: Like on the solar array or on some of this
1:29:17
Speaker 2: COVID money, they just go right along with whatever the
1:29:20
Speaker 2: mayor and the administration want to do.
1:29:22
Speaker 1: Yes, they do, you know, on that solarray. We're going
1:29:25
Speaker 1: back to the whole just how epic stupid it is
1:29:27
Speaker 1: to think that carbon neutrality in the city of Cincinnati
1:29:30
Speaker 1: is somehow going to benefit the globe or even the
1:29:32
Speaker 1: city itself. I was joking with Todd over the break,
1:29:34
Speaker 1: I seeing we should do just let's take all this
1:29:37
Speaker 1: money and buy a giant dome, big glass dome, and
1:29:40
Speaker 1: put it over the city of Cincinnati. All fifty neighborhoods
1:29:42
Speaker 1: vacuum seal it, of course, provide them with fresh carbon dioxide,
1:29:47
Speaker 1: free oxygen, and see how long it takes for all
1:29:50
Speaker 1: the plants to die. Seven five. We're not done. The
1:29:57
Speaker 1: list has not been exhausted. The budget money in the
1:30:00
Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati. We'll talk about station seven thirty nine.
1:30:06
Speaker 1: If you bought KCD talk station. Congressman David Taylor after
1:30:09
Speaker 1: the top of the art is in the meantime, City
1:30:12
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. They don't realize how blessed they are to
1:30:14
Speaker 1: have Todd Zens or citizen watchdog, former Inspector General looking
1:30:17
Speaker 1: at these records and trying to find out answers to questions.
1:30:20
Speaker 1: It seemed very perplexing. A lot of that topic so
1:30:23
Speaker 1: far this morning. The solar panel, insulation batcraft stupid and crazy.
1:30:28
Speaker 1: The three hundred million dollars in funding received from the
1:30:31
Speaker 1: pandemic relief that's now we find it's gone to fund
1:30:34
Speaker 1: sixty non governmental organizations resulting in the city taxpayers maybe
1:30:38
Speaker 1: having to have their taxes increased, crazy, inexplicable, probably corrupt. Now,
1:30:45
Speaker 1: let's pivot over to the railroad money. Toddsenser sold the
1:30:48
Speaker 1: railroad for one point whatever billion dollars money putt into
1:30:51
Speaker 1: trust fund. Interest generated is supposed to be handed over
1:30:54
Speaker 1: to the City of Cincinnati to help our work on
1:30:57
Speaker 1: existing infrastructure projects. I know there's some question marks swirling
1:31:03
Speaker 1: around what is actually started by way of projects, what
1:31:06
Speaker 1: have they done with the money, what's been allocated. There's
1:31:09
Speaker 1: these complicating layers on it. But we find out now
1:31:14
Speaker 1: after you investigate that level that there's another layl level
1:31:20
Speaker 1: of well I ou't of his duplicity or but really
1:31:24
Speaker 1: swirling question marks. Let my listeners know what you discovered.
1:31:28
Speaker 2: Todd Zenzer, Well, do you remember before Christmas, Local twelve
1:31:34
Speaker 2: ran a report about how the city was unable to
1:31:37
Speaker 2: use their railway money on infrastructure projects that they had
1:31:42
Speaker 2: only spent like six percent of the tranch that the
1:31:46
Speaker 2: board had sent over.
1:31:47
Speaker 1: This was the interest generated and how much money had
1:31:50
Speaker 1: they sent over roughly was tens of millions of dollars right.
1:31:53
Speaker 2: Well, the annual amount that they agreed to send to
1:31:56
Speaker 2: the city for this year was fifty six million. Were
1:32:00
Speaker 2: they were putting that or sending that to the city
1:32:03
Speaker 2: in four different tranches, So I'm not sure exactly how
1:32:07
Speaker 2: much they sent. But the Local twelve report generated a
1:32:12
Speaker 2: lot of controversy, and the city council asked.
1:32:17
Speaker 1: Because we don't see any projects starting, right, that's right,
1:32:20
Speaker 1: they got them. We know they got the money. The
1:32:22
Speaker 1: Railroad board said, we gave them the money. We know
1:32:24
Speaker 1: it's in the fifty million dollar range. So that local
1:32:27
Speaker 1: news says, where did it go? We're not seeing it
1:32:29
Speaker 1: and getting done here, and this is the that results
1:32:32
Speaker 1: in right.
1:32:33
Speaker 2: So after that report, I sent a letter to the
1:32:35
Speaker 2: board to make sure they saw the Local twelve report.
1:32:39
Speaker 2: I put a hyperlink in it, and I reminded them
1:32:42
Speaker 2: that in February of last year, in twenty twenty five,
1:32:46
Speaker 2: I went to their board meeting and I alerted them
1:32:50
Speaker 2: that the city was does not have the capacity to
1:32:53
Speaker 2: spend that money, and they need to figure out what
1:32:56
Speaker 2: they're going to do if the city, you know, doesn't
1:32:59
Speaker 2: spend the money. And what's happened is we found that
1:33:03
Speaker 2: what the what.
1:33:04
Speaker 1: The board is going to do the city doesn't spend
1:33:06
Speaker 1: the money, right, because they gave it in good faith
1:33:09
Speaker 1: to the city based upon I guess a list of
1:33:11
Speaker 1: projects that the cell told them.
1:33:12
Speaker 2: They followed the law. The law tells them they have
1:33:15
Speaker 2: to give them so much, and then they decide how
1:33:18
Speaker 2: much more to give them.
1:33:19
Speaker 1: Oh okay, So.
1:33:22
Speaker 2: I lost my train of thought here when so.
1:33:25
Speaker 1: You alert the board that the money went over but
1:33:27
Speaker 1: there's no you can't account for what it was, right.
1:33:30
Speaker 2: So the board actually sent a letter to the city
1:33:33
Speaker 2: apparently I haven't seen it, but and the finance director
1:33:38
Speaker 2: wrote back to the board and told them that, well,
1:33:41
Speaker 2: if we can't use it, we put it in our
1:33:43
Speaker 2: investment account.
1:33:45
Speaker 1: So they city has opened a separate investment account.
1:33:49
Speaker 2: Well, they have an investment account. Oh, oh, existing one,
1:33:52
Speaker 2: and the investment account has one point six billion dollars
1:33:55
Speaker 2: of its own in there. And so they're taking railway
1:33:58
Speaker 2: money that they can't spend and they're putting it in
1:34:01
Speaker 2: there in their own investment account on top of their
1:34:04
Speaker 2: existing investments, and they're you know, that's adding to their
1:34:08
Speaker 2: earnings from that investment account.
1:34:10
Speaker 1: And those earnings are not restricted to existing infrastructure, are they?
1:34:15
Speaker 1: Todd Zenzer right?
1:34:16
Speaker 2: If you were, Let's say that money's.
1:34:17
Speaker 1: A way to get around the existing infrastructure limit to
1:34:20
Speaker 1: the to the railroad money. Todd, can I just state
1:34:22
Speaker 1: that out loud? I mean, I right, Yeah, you have to.
1:34:25
Speaker 2: You have to. We don't know yet. Apparently the city
1:34:28
Speaker 2: is going to go to the meeting next week in
1:34:30
Speaker 2: front of the board and hopefully they're going to explain
1:34:32
Speaker 2: all this. But that's exactly what it looks like. And
1:34:35
Speaker 2: let's say that money, that that millions of dollars was stolen, Well,
1:34:39
Speaker 2: putting it into an account like that washes it so
1:34:42
Speaker 2: you can't really trace it. And that's really what's happening here,
1:34:45
Speaker 2: is that they have washed the money of the railway
1:34:49
Speaker 2: color and now it's Cincinnati money. And that wasn't the
1:34:54
Speaker 2: intent of the law when it was when they passed
1:34:56
Speaker 2: the law.
1:34:56
Speaker 1: And given that it was not the intent of the
1:34:58
Speaker 1: law and it violates the clear intent of the law,
1:35:01
Speaker 1: is there any way that an illegal action could be
1:35:03
Speaker 1: filed on the board could otherwise claw that money back
1:35:05
Speaker 1: and say, hey, we shouldn't have sent it to you
1:35:07
Speaker 1: in the first place. Look at what you're doing. You're
1:35:09
Speaker 1: investing it in your own investment account, and you're taking
1:35:11
Speaker 1: away the limitations on its use.
1:35:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they either need to try to do
1:35:15
Speaker 2: that or make clear that they're not going to be
1:35:17
Speaker 2: sending tranches of money like that to the city anymore.
1:35:20
Speaker 2: And then what I'm proposing is that the board use
1:35:22
Speaker 2: a drawdown system where when the city needs the money
1:35:25
Speaker 2: because they have a bill pending for some work, that
1:35:28
Speaker 2: they come to the board and they draw down the
1:35:30
Speaker 2: money that they need. That's how that's how most of
1:35:33
Speaker 2: these infrastructure accounts operate.
1:35:37
Speaker 1: Sounds to me like the only way they should operate.
1:35:39
Speaker 1: This is just I still can't get over that is
1:35:43
Speaker 1: going on.
1:35:44
Speaker 7: Tot.
1:35:44
Speaker 2: I sent a letter to them again last night reminding
1:35:47
Speaker 2: them again and reasserting my recommendation.
1:35:52
Speaker 1: To the board or to counsel to the board. To
1:35:55
Speaker 1: the board, yes, to the well, at least the board
1:35:58
Speaker 1: gets the attention to council, and council or the mayor
1:36:00
Speaker 1: or maybe the city manager at least has to respond
1:36:03
Speaker 1: to the board. They are responding to have to respond
1:36:05
Speaker 1: to Todd Zinzer.
1:36:06
Speaker 2: That's right, they are responding to the board.
1:36:08
Speaker 1: See, that's why we have Todd the talk station five KRC,
1:36:19
Speaker 1: the talk station Happy Friday e Right Time was here
1:36:23
Speaker 1: with Citizen Watchdog Todd's zinser again. You know, he dives
1:36:26
Speaker 1: in even more in depth in his podcasts and some
1:36:28
Speaker 1: of the topics we're talking about this morning, all of
1:36:30
Speaker 1: which just spell I mean grave concern from my perspective
1:36:34
Speaker 1: about the existence of well, lack of oversight, perhaps fraud
1:36:38
Speaker 1: and corruption. All I know is you can't follow the
1:36:41
Speaker 1: money anywhere in the city of Cincinnati. And that last
1:36:43
Speaker 1: little insight about the city getting the railroad money then
1:36:46
Speaker 1: parking in its own investment account. Man, somebody's got to
1:36:49
Speaker 1: do something about that. So Todd's on the job on that.
1:36:52
Speaker 1: We'll see what the Railroad board does. But pivoting back,
1:36:54
Speaker 1: we started out this morning the laughable concept of the
1:36:56
Speaker 1: city buying and paying for out of the general fund
1:37:00
Speaker 1: since the federal dollars aren't there anymore. This new solar
1:37:02
Speaker 1: panel farm wherever they're planning on building it, it's a
1:37:05
Speaker 1: preposterous notion anyway, It's a pointless gesture in the name
1:37:08
Speaker 1: of virtue signaling. But you mentioned that it was pursuant
1:37:16
Speaker 1: to an emergency declaration. Right now, the power hasn't gone
1:37:21
Speaker 1: out in the city. The panels aren't gonna keep the
1:37:25
Speaker 1: lights on really under any given circumstance demonstrably failures in
1:37:28
Speaker 1: terms of reliable energy supply. So how is this building
1:37:33
Speaker 1: of the panel farm in any way shape or form
1:37:36
Speaker 1: an emergency?
1:37:37
Speaker 2: God, yeah, I'm not sure if I brought it with me,
1:37:39
Speaker 2: But the city does a lot of business by emergency.
1:37:46
Speaker 2: In fact, I was watching the city home a city
1:37:49
Speaker 2: council meeting one day online and some woman came up
1:37:52
Speaker 2: to claim her two minutes and she didn't even talk
1:37:56
Speaker 2: about what she came to the council for because she
1:37:59
Speaker 2: had seen the age to and the agenda will list
1:38:02
Speaker 2: all these emergency ordinances that they intend to, you know,
1:38:06
Speaker 2: deliberate or to vote on. And she was beside herself
1:38:11
Speaker 2: and she thought the city was beset by emergencies. She says,
1:38:14
Speaker 2: what are all these emergencies.
1:38:17
Speaker 1: Close to martial law declaration exactly?
1:38:21
Speaker 2: So she was she was alarmed, and it's it's unfortunate,
1:38:25
Speaker 2: but that's how the city does business in in in
1:38:27
Speaker 2: the state of Ohio, And I think this is pretty
1:38:31
Speaker 2: much universal across the country. But legislatures, legislatures are supposed
1:38:35
Speaker 2: to pass ordinances based on three readings of the ordinance.
1:38:40
Speaker 2: They they're they're supposed to read the ordinance on three
1:38:43
Speaker 2: different days before they vote on it. Well, what the
1:38:47
Speaker 2: city does is when they want to get something passed
1:38:50
Speaker 2: without any you know, pushback or feedback from the from
1:38:54
Speaker 2: the people.
1:38:55
Speaker 1: Their constituents, you mean todd Yes, they purport to represent, yes,
1:39:00
Speaker 1: though we don't want to.
1:39:00
Speaker 2: Hear from them those people. So they actually have to
1:39:05
Speaker 2: take three votes on an emergency ordinance. They first have
1:39:09
Speaker 2: to vote to suspend the three readings.
1:39:11
Speaker 1: All right, I see this couple a mile away.
1:39:14
Speaker 2: So then they vote on the ordinance itself as an emergency,
1:39:19
Speaker 2: and then they have to vote to keep that emergency
1:39:22
Speaker 2: clause in the bill. So, for example, I decided to
1:39:26
Speaker 2: go back and look at how many emergency ordinances did
1:39:30
Speaker 2: the city council enact in twenty twenty five. So I
1:39:34
Speaker 2: went back counted them all up. They passed four hundred
1:39:38
Speaker 2: and four ordinances in twenty twenty five. Three hundred and
1:39:42
Speaker 2: three of them were emergency ordinances seventy five percent. And
1:39:47
Speaker 2: they're supposed to state the reason, and the reason is
1:39:50
Speaker 2: that the reason is some general statement about to further
1:39:54
Speaker 2: the health, safety and whatever of the community. That's all
1:39:58
Speaker 2: they have to do, and that's and test it in court,
1:40:01
Speaker 2: and the court says, okay, well, we're not going to
1:40:03
Speaker 2: get involved in what the legislature decides to do and
1:40:06
Speaker 2: that type of things exactly, So the city council has
1:40:11
Speaker 2: a clear runway to pass whatever they want to pass
1:40:15
Speaker 2: without any feedback. And the critical piece about emergency ordinances
1:40:20
Speaker 2: is that in the Ohio law, it cuts off any
1:40:24
Speaker 2: ability of the citizens to appeal that through a referendum. So,
1:40:29
Speaker 2: for example, on this solar array, if that hadn't been
1:40:32
Speaker 2: an emergency ordinance, we could try to get that on
1:40:35
Speaker 2: the ballot for people to approve yes or no. So
1:40:38
Speaker 2: these emergency ordinances wipe that all out. And that's what
1:40:41
Speaker 2: happened with Connected Community.
1:40:43
Speaker 1: That's what I was going to say, that's what Hyde
1:40:44
Speaker 1: Park did. Well, I mean, they got about, they got
1:40:47
Speaker 1: something that was going to go on the back exactly.
1:40:49
Speaker 1: For some reason, they forgot to call it an emergency.
1:40:51
Speaker 2: I don't know why they didn't call it an emergency.
1:40:53
Speaker 2: I think they knew that if they had done that,
1:40:57
Speaker 2: it would have been an outrageous outcry from the people.
1:41:01
Speaker 1: Because the residents of Hygh Park were paying attention to
1:41:03
Speaker 1: what was going on in their neighborhood.
1:41:04
Speaker 2: That's right, And so there was a calculation that while
1:41:09
Speaker 2: it's better to risk them being able to get all
1:41:11
Speaker 2: the signatures on a petition in time versus all the
1:41:16
Speaker 2: outcry that would happen if they declared an emergency.
1:41:18
Speaker 1: Or and they ignored all the outcry that they received
1:41:21
Speaker 1: when they went forward with a plan anyway. All the
1:41:23
Speaker 1: residents showed up and complained about.
1:41:24
Speaker 2: It, hours and hours, hours and hours of you know,
1:41:28
Speaker 2: protest by the people.
1:41:29
Speaker 1: So they said, well, we'll suffer through that, we'll ignore
1:41:32
Speaker 1: the will of our constituents. We'll move forward with it anyway,
1:41:35
Speaker 1: and we'll run the risk of a ballot an initiative.
1:41:37
Speaker 1: But oh, come on, this is the city of Cincinnati.
1:41:39
Speaker 1: There's no way they're going to be able to collect
1:41:41
Speaker 1: enough signatures to override this. Whoops. I think they did.
1:41:44
Speaker 2: I think that's what happened.
1:41:45
Speaker 1: I guarantee you sure, as I'm sitting here, Todd zinzer Man,
1:41:48
Speaker 1: I cannot thank you enough for doing this on behalf
1:41:50
Speaker 1: of the city of Cincinnati, and the residents take the
1:41:53
Speaker 1: laboring or all the time, all documented. If there are
1:41:57
Speaker 1: no documents, Todd at least goes through the process of
1:41:59
Speaker 1: asking for them or appealing to at least a body
1:42:03
Speaker 1: that will be in a position to get them the
1:42:05
Speaker 1: Railroad Board. Todd, you keep up the great work. You
1:42:08
Speaker 1: always have a welcome spot here in the fifty five
1:42:09
Speaker 1: Karsee Morning Show. And thanks again for coming to lunch yesterday.
1:42:12
Speaker 1: It was fabulous. See Thank you Ato six here at
1:42:15
Speaker 1: fifty five krc DE talk station. Happy Friday Eve. Brian
1:42:19
Speaker 1: Thomas right here hosting the thirty five Carsee Morning Show.
1:42:21
Speaker 1: Always pleased to see this man on the rundown. Congressman
1:42:24
Speaker 1: David Taylor, Welcome back to the morning show. I appreciate
1:42:27
Speaker 1: you willingness to talk with my listeners and me.
1:42:30
Speaker 7: Thanks for having me again, Brian. Good to be with you.
1:42:32
Speaker 1: Always a pleasure. Well, I got this shutdown, avert it
1:42:34
Speaker 1: at least for a while. I guess five of the
1:42:36
Speaker 1: spending bills got put through. They held off in an
1:42:39
Speaker 1: apartment of Homeland security funding because oh, I don't know,
1:42:41
Speaker 1: evil Ice or whatever. Continuing resolution I guess kicks the
1:42:45
Speaker 1: can down the road for Is it two weeks to
1:42:47
Speaker 1: talk about this and hammer out the details, David?
1:42:51
Speaker 7: It was the day it was passing the Senate, but
1:42:53
Speaker 7: some of those days have now passed, so it's an
1:42:55
Speaker 7: even shorter runway.
1:42:57
Speaker 1: All right, So my understanding is the the Democrats claim
1:43:01
Speaker 1: that they want ICE agents to be prohibited from wearing masks,
1:43:05
Speaker 1: they want ICE agents to wear cameras, and I guess
1:43:08
Speaker 1: they want some uniform standard of how law enforcement and
1:43:11
Speaker 1: engagement and law enforcement, as well as the eradication of
1:43:14
Speaker 1: these open sweeps, whatever those happened to be. Is that
1:43:17
Speaker 1: really it? Is it? I mean, if you hammer those out,
1:43:19
Speaker 1: are we done with DHS funding or are they going
1:43:22
Speaker 1: to ask for more? What is it? Which direction is
1:43:24
Speaker 1: this going to go to? The best you can see
1:43:26
Speaker 1: it coming forward, your Congressman Davidson, I mean Taylor, Sorry
1:43:31
Speaker 1: that was earlier.
1:43:33
Speaker 7: I've been called away worse things than no.
1:43:35
Speaker 1: I know, Congress, He's a man, he is a good man.
1:43:41
Speaker 7: They did come out with a list of ten demands
1:43:44
Speaker 7: you may have already seen it to agree to a
1:43:49
Speaker 7: DHS bill, And you'll notice that, as you mentioned, two
1:43:53
Speaker 7: of the top three are designed to further endanger ICE agents,
1:43:57
Speaker 7: demanding that they not be able to wear masks, that
1:43:59
Speaker 7: they have the full identification visible to the people on
1:44:04
Speaker 7: the streets who are already threatening them with violence all
1:44:07
Speaker 7: the time. So a lot of the list are basically
1:44:10
Speaker 7: non starters and what what maybe the most puzzling Brian
1:44:14
Speaker 7: is some of the things that the Chuck Schumer at
1:44:18
Speaker 7: or was asking for. There's money in the in the
1:44:24
Speaker 7: in the bill that they refuse to pass for for
1:44:26
Speaker 7: body cameras, which you know, we want body cameras for them.
1:44:30
Speaker 7: The ICE agents want body cameras. There's actually operating under
1:44:35
Speaker 7: the continuing resolution that we're under now, ICE gets six
1:44:38
Speaker 7: hundred million dollars more than they will receive if we
1:44:42
Speaker 7: pass the bill. Uh So that doesn't make much sense
1:44:45
Speaker 7: to me either. And there's also they're worried about the
1:44:50
Speaker 7: ICE agents maybe being heavy handed. Well, there's money for
1:44:54
Speaker 7: further de escalation training in the bill that's not in
1:44:57
Speaker 7: the continuing resolution, but they won't vote for the bill.
1:45:00
Speaker 7: So their motives are are certainly not as as they're
1:45:06
Speaker 7: portrayed in the media. Their motives are to protect the
1:45:10
Speaker 7: illegal immigrants they work so hard over the Biden administration
1:45:13
Speaker 7: years to import.
1:45:14
Speaker 1: Well, ironing out those problems is one thing is this
1:45:17
Speaker 1: is this are you approaching this or is Congress approaching this?
1:45:22
Speaker 1: DHS funding sort of is like a whole brand new
1:45:25
Speaker 1: time to start over. And in other words, can we
1:45:27
Speaker 1: add amendments be could for example, we add the Save
1:45:30
Speaker 1: Act into the DHS funding and get that passed. That
1:45:33
Speaker 1: enjoys widespread support. I don't care what Chucky Schumer says
1:45:36
Speaker 1: that this is Jim Crow two point oh. I think
1:45:37
Speaker 1: that is an offensive determination, and I think it's an
1:45:40
Speaker 1: insult to all people of color and any minority. They
1:45:42
Speaker 1: claim are incapable of getting a driver's license even though
1:45:45
Speaker 1: they do it every single day in order to engage
1:45:47
Speaker 1: in regular commerce and industry in this country, because you
1:45:50
Speaker 1: need a photo ID to do it. Ah, sorry David Taylor,
1:45:53
Speaker 1: but is it possible to get that put in there
1:45:55
Speaker 1: or would that be like they would be a non starter.
1:46:00
Speaker 7: It looks like it's a non starter. What the Speaker
1:46:03
Speaker 7: said today and what Leaders Soon has said on the
1:46:06
Speaker 7: Senate side is the negotiation is currently going on between
1:46:09
Speaker 7: Senate Democrats in the White House. The White House wants
1:46:13
Speaker 7: this pass. They don't want anything. They want as little
1:46:16
Speaker 7: changed about it as possible, and the Democrats have their
1:46:19
Speaker 7: lists of demands, most of which are you know, far
1:46:22
Speaker 7: fetched and never happening. Whether their goal is just to
1:46:26
Speaker 7: hold things up again like they did last time, or
1:46:29
Speaker 7: to or what they're they're actually expected outcome is It's
1:46:34
Speaker 7: hard to say, but I think they're they're putting it
1:46:38
Speaker 7: in the President's hands for the moment to try to
1:46:40
Speaker 7: get the DHS built. I think the Save Act, as
1:46:43
Speaker 7: popular as it is, is going to have to go
1:46:45
Speaker 7: with a different lative legislative package or get presented on
1:46:49
Speaker 7: its own at some point. But like you said, I mean,
1:46:51
Speaker 7: the even on the Democrats side, the when you pull
1:46:54
Speaker 7: the public it's well over seventy percent. It's kind of
1:46:57
Speaker 7: like term limits. If you just had a national rest
1:47:00
Speaker 7: random on those two issues. They both be done a
1:47:02
Speaker 7: long time ago.
1:47:03
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and that's the that's the insanity that I
1:47:06
Speaker 1: don't understand. I mean, everyone seems to be broadly in
1:47:11
Speaker 1: favor of it, and it is insulting to tell a
1:47:14
Speaker 1: person of color that we don't think you're smart enough
1:47:16
Speaker 1: to go do this. I mean, it's just any hope
1:47:20
Speaker 1: that it is advanced as an independent bill. I mean,
1:47:22
Speaker 1: I know that's you know, that's a strategy discussion. You
1:47:25
Speaker 1: got to deal with the Speaker of the House on
1:47:26
Speaker 1: advancing it. But what's the hold up. I suppose the
1:47:29
Speaker 1: American people might want to know, Congressman.
1:47:32
Speaker 7: They rightly should want to know that. I'm hopeful that
1:47:35
Speaker 7: it is attached to the next must pass legislation that
1:47:39
Speaker 7: we're represented with, and for my money, that would have
1:47:42
Speaker 7: been a great time to do it. I'm not the president,
1:47:45
Speaker 7: I'm not the Speaker of the House. I think most
1:47:47
Speaker 7: people in the House on the Republican side absolutely want
1:47:53
Speaker 7: to You're hearing from more and more members speak it up,
1:47:55
Speaker 7: saying this has to happen. It's only right where the
1:47:58
Speaker 7: only you know, industrialized nation that doesn't require idea to vote.
1:48:03
Speaker 7: But when when Democrats electoral chances are tied to illegals
1:48:09
Speaker 7: to the degree they are, they're never going to support that.
1:48:13
Speaker 7: It's going to be we have to be done the hard.
1:48:15
Speaker 1: Way, right, Okay, And I hear and I hear people
1:48:17
Speaker 1: say that all the time. Now, state law, maybe I
1:48:20
Speaker 1: don't know, doesn't apply. Maybe illegal immigrants can vote on
1:48:23
Speaker 1: state issues, perhaps, but it is not lawful for someone
1:48:27
Speaker 1: who is not a US citizen to be voting in
1:48:30
Speaker 1: a federal election. Right, Congressman Taylor.
1:48:35
Speaker 7: Absolutely right.
1:48:36
Speaker 1: So that's the law of voting, that's right, that's the
1:48:41
Speaker 1: law in the books. So in order to be able
1:48:43
Speaker 1: to enforce that and prevent illegal immigrants from voting in
1:48:46
Speaker 1: federal elections. Asking for a citizenship of verification seems to
1:48:52
Speaker 1: be consistent with the state of federal law.
1:48:57
Speaker 7: I agree completely with you. Know, each state has the
1:49:00
Speaker 7: sort of sovereignty over the election process in their state,
1:49:04
Speaker 7: and it's a little dicey where that line starts and
1:49:07
Speaker 7: ends when it comes to your federal elections. In California
1:49:10
Speaker 7: right now, the law is if the person at the
1:49:13
Speaker 7: poll asked the voter for identifications, they may be in
1:49:17
Speaker 7: legal trouble, but not the person who's voting, who probably
1:49:20
Speaker 7: isn't properly well, and.
1:49:23
Speaker 1: I suppose to vote. That's the only vehicle by which
1:49:26
Speaker 1: an illegal immigrant could vote or have a sway over
1:49:29
Speaker 1: a federal election. If state of law allows illegal immigrants
1:49:32
Speaker 1: to vote on state issues, but it's a state and
1:49:34
Speaker 1: federal ballot, then seems to me that's an opportunity for
1:49:38
Speaker 1: an illegal immigrant to vote on federal matters.
1:49:42
Speaker 7: Yeah, for sure, and most of the Blue states want that.
1:49:45
Speaker 1: You that doesn't know that's the full circle, right, I mean,
1:49:49
Speaker 1: just really solidifying where I am on this, because it
1:49:51
Speaker 1: shouldn't the presence of illegal immigrants, whether they're desired in
1:49:55
Speaker 1: any given community or not should not have any effect
1:49:58
Speaker 1: whatsoever on a federal election outcome period. That's just they
1:50:00
Speaker 1: shouldn't be voting on any of those topics, right And.
1:50:05
Speaker 7: Honestly, Brian, they are voting because they're getting registered when
1:50:08
Speaker 7: they give them drivers' licenses. But even if they were
1:50:11
Speaker 7: not voting, they're still impacting federal elections because they're in
1:50:15
Speaker 7: blue states and they're creating a representation that those blue
1:50:19
Speaker 7: states shouldn't have because of the Census counsel and citizens.
1:50:22
Speaker 7: So they're absolutely vital. You people are absolutely fleeing blue
1:50:26
Speaker 7: states the states. So the only way to keep their
1:50:28
Speaker 7: electoral chances and their power in Congress alive is to
1:50:34
Speaker 7: bring in and retain illegal aliens. And that's why you're
1:50:38
Speaker 7: seeing all the fraud in the blue states because giving
1:50:41
Speaker 7: them access with no consequences to all our safety net
1:50:44
Speaker 7: programs is a tremendous recruiting tool. We'reposed to come to
1:50:48
Speaker 7: your state.
1:50:48
Speaker 1: Well, considering everybody with a job. Congressman Taylor has fled
1:50:52
Speaker 1: states like California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois and gone
1:50:55
Speaker 1: to places where life is easier and regulatory burdens are
1:50:58
Speaker 1: smaller and taxes are lower. They're having a real battle
1:51:01
Speaker 1: competing with the illegal immigrants coming in to even replace
1:51:05
Speaker 1: the population of people that left. Why they're bad that
1:51:09
Speaker 1: the borders shut down.
1:51:12
Speaker 7: Absolutely true, and you know the twenty thirty census is
1:51:16
Speaker 7: going to baarn that out, actually the previous census board out.
1:51:19
Speaker 7: But there were, you know, honest mistakes made which favored
1:51:22
Speaker 7: blue states over red states that led to excess representation
1:51:27
Speaker 7: for Debocrats.
1:51:28
Speaker 1: Again, Well, that twenty twenty five analysis that was just
1:51:30
Speaker 1: done on the predictions for the twenty thirty again goes down.
1:51:33
Speaker 1: It goes to the point being is boiled down. Democrats
1:51:36
Speaker 1: are standing to lose a lot of seats in Congress
1:51:40
Speaker 1: because of that population shift, and the electoral college now
1:51:43
Speaker 1: will favor the Republican Party regardless of how many illegal
1:51:46
Speaker 1: immigrants they try to ship into their community. It seems
1:51:48
Speaker 1: like a foreground conclusion pause will bring Congressman David Taylor back.
1:51:51
Speaker 1: He'll explain what the Deporting Fraudsters Act is. Sounds like
1:51:55
Speaker 1: it's a good idea. Plus expanding broadband and appellation more
1:51:58
Speaker 1: with Congressman Taylor. Sticker fifty five the talk Station eight
1:52:04
Speaker 1: eighteen if above kersee the talk station i Art Media
1:52:07
Speaker 1: Aviation expert Jay Ratliff coming to the bottom of the
1:52:09
Speaker 1: eyre of the meantime, one more segment here with Congressman
1:52:12
Speaker 1: David Taylor pivoting over Deporting Fraudster's Act. Well, inflation reduction
1:52:19
Speaker 1: acts sounded really good on its face there, Congressman Taylor,
1:52:21
Speaker 1: but it didn't work out that way. What is the
1:52:23
Speaker 1: Deporting Fraudster's Act?
1:52:27
Speaker 7: Fair enough, Brian, This one is just as it's described.
1:52:30
Speaker 7: It's very simple, common sense bill. We actually submitted it
1:52:34
Speaker 7: last March. I want to thank Chairman Jordan for passing
1:52:38
Speaker 7: it out of the Judiciary Committee and should be coming
1:52:40
Speaker 7: to the floor very soon. I mentioned that it was
1:52:45
Speaker 7: filed last March because in the hearing where it was
1:52:47
Speaker 7: passed out of a Judiciary committee, the Democrats for sales
1:52:51
Speaker 7: a knee jerk reaction to the fraud that we discovered
1:52:55
Speaker 7: in Minnesota. But you know, we've known that fraud has
1:52:57
Speaker 7: been going on for a long time. We're a little
1:52:59
Speaker 7: stunned at this scope of it, I think. But basically
1:53:03
Speaker 7: the bill makes receiving any federal benefits from any of
1:53:07
Speaker 7: our thinking that programs but an illegal alien a deportable offense.
1:53:11
Speaker 7: You will also prevent people who are convicted of doing
1:53:14
Speaker 7: so or who admit to having done so from ever
1:53:17
Speaker 7: being readmitted. So something that's basically common sense and something
1:53:22
Speaker 7: to share to be on the books, But sadly it's
1:53:24
Speaker 7: not so just you know, one of several bills that
1:53:27
Speaker 7: are going through from the Republican side to sort of
1:53:29
Speaker 7: close loopholes that have existed for you know, forever.
1:53:34
Speaker 1: Basically well, clearly, the level of fraud that's being revealed
1:53:38
Speaker 1: more and more every single day is just outright appalling,
1:53:41
Speaker 1: and there appears to be a it's just a it's
1:53:46
Speaker 1: an intentional, you know, system that's been created here where
1:53:50
Speaker 1: these non governmental organizations the money that flows out or
1:53:53
Speaker 1: maybe the leering centers of Minneapolis are a vehicle to
1:53:56
Speaker 1: put money back in the hands of politicians or political
1:53:59
Speaker 1: activists rather than actually doing some good in the community,
1:54:02
Speaker 1: because there's nobody following what has been done with the money.
1:54:06
Speaker 1: I just talked with Todd Zinzer about this going on
1:54:08
Speaker 1: in the city of Cincinnati. Yeah, they gave money to
1:54:11
Speaker 1: non governmental organizations, but no one knows what the hell
1:54:13
Speaker 1: was done with the money. I mean, this could literally
1:54:16
Speaker 1: exist in any governmental entity, from the townships to the
1:54:20
Speaker 1: state to the federal which is obviously what's going on
1:54:23
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis.
1:54:25
Speaker 7: Right and it's going on many other places too. I
1:54:27
Speaker 7: think that they have some particularly unsophisticated leadership in Minnesota
1:54:32
Speaker 7: that made it a little bit easier to find it there.
1:54:34
Speaker 7: I think between Wall and Fry got some characters up
1:54:39
Speaker 7: there that maybe not quite as sneaky as some of
1:54:41
Speaker 7: the California in New York. But it's, you know, it
1:54:46
Speaker 7: all dovetails together with what we were talking about earlier.
1:54:49
Speaker 7: The Democrats spent the four years under Biden bringing in
1:54:52
Speaker 7: as many illegal aliens as they could, and they've spent
1:54:54
Speaker 7: the last year plus absolutely going to the mattresses.
1:54:59
Speaker 6: To keep them here.
1:55:00
Speaker 1: Yeah.
1:55:00
Speaker 7: So and this is this is as we mentioned earlier,
1:55:03
Speaker 7: this is a big recruiting tool. If you can come
1:55:04
Speaker 7: in and we're not going to look at the you know,
1:55:08
Speaker 7: if you're actually qualifying for these programs, just sign here
1:55:11
Speaker 7: and you know when this, as this investigation proceeds, I
1:55:14
Speaker 7: don't think any of this will be surprised to find
1:55:16
Speaker 7: out that if some of those dollars go back to
1:55:18
Speaker 7: the pockets of the Democrat leaders who are turning a blind.
1:55:21
Speaker 1: Eye to it, without question, well it's become its own industry.
1:55:25
Speaker 1: You create a problem, you open the borders up, gring
1:55:27
Speaker 1: every man, woman and child from the four corners of
1:55:28
Speaker 1: the globe in the United States. It taxes the local resources.
1:55:32
Speaker 1: We've got a problem on our hands here. I'm a
1:55:34
Speaker 1: non governmental organization. I'm going to help you deal with
1:55:37
Speaker 1: filling the blank problem created by the open borders. Then
1:55:40
Speaker 1: they got their hand in the cookie jar and becomes
1:55:41
Speaker 1: a self fulfilling prophecy. They don't want to fix the problem,
1:55:44
Speaker 1: they want it to continue so they can continue drawing
1:55:47
Speaker 1: taxpayer money into their pockets.
1:55:50
Speaker 7: Yeah, and it's been going on for a long time.
1:55:52
Speaker 7: And with the essential shutdown of the USA, I d
1:55:56
Speaker 7: if the other avenues of fraud are going to ramp up.
1:56:00
Speaker 7: Is there are a lot of dollars going through there
1:56:02
Speaker 7: to those very same projects you're talking about, and they
1:56:06
Speaker 7: have to be have to be funded somehow, and it's
1:56:08
Speaker 7: going to be on the taxpayers back.
1:56:10
Speaker 1: All right, let's before we part company. David Taylor shining
1:56:13
Speaker 1: a bright light of sunshine on this much needed disinfecting here,
1:56:16
Speaker 1: expanding broadband and Appalaysia. I've heard this concept bandied about
1:56:21
Speaker 1: a lot over the over the years because some areas
1:56:22
Speaker 1: of the country don't have the benefit of any broadband.
1:56:25
Speaker 1: What is this particular issue all about.
1:56:29
Speaker 7: Yeah, Brian, this is something we talked about from the
1:56:30
Speaker 7: day we started running basically for office. The big, large
1:56:34
Speaker 7: swath of the Second District in Ohio and other rural
1:56:38
Speaker 7: and Appalachian districts across the country don't have brought access
1:56:42
Speaker 7: to broadband. We have sponsored three bills to try to
1:56:47
Speaker 7: help with that. The biggest movement we've seen so far,
1:56:51
Speaker 7: and it's going to be helpful in the near future,
1:56:54
Speaker 7: is that forty two billion dollars that was allocated for
1:56:58
Speaker 7: the bad program for World Connectivity that's been sitting there
1:57:02
Speaker 7: for so long. It's because it was all dedicated just
1:57:05
Speaker 7: to fiber optic, which fiber optic is great and I
1:57:08
Speaker 7: love it, but it's very hard to get to and
1:57:11
Speaker 7: get that run in parts of the Second District, making
1:57:13
Speaker 7: those dollars usable on other alternative sources of broadband, whether
1:57:19
Speaker 7: it's satellite or sixth wireless. So there's been big advances
1:57:22
Speaker 7: in sixth wireless. Too. Used to be, you know, it
1:57:25
Speaker 7: was easily blocked and you had that pretty clear line
1:57:28
Speaker 7: of sight to use that effectively. But that's not the
1:57:31
Speaker 7: case anymore. So bottom line is, we don't want to
1:57:34
Speaker 7: wait five more years for the people of Appalachia to
1:57:38
Speaker 7: get connected to the modern economy. We want to do
1:57:40
Speaker 7: it as quickly as possible. So that's been great. And
1:57:44
Speaker 7: while we're on that topic, it's important that I think
1:57:46
Speaker 7: Senator Houston for the work he did for part of
1:57:49
Speaker 7: my district, a large chunk of my district while he
1:57:51
Speaker 7: was still lieutenant governor. Who's he's and he's continuing that
1:57:55
Speaker 7: work here. He's been being center Marino have been absolutely
1:58:00
Speaker 7: incredible out here.
1:58:01
Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear that. You know, the LAFT never
1:58:03
Speaker 1: really seems to care much about the rural poor, because
1:58:07
Speaker 1: I suppose that's these evil flyover red states, So screw them.
1:58:10
Speaker 1: They only care about urban poor. And there's millions and
1:58:12
Speaker 1: millions of dollars flowing that are provided to urban governments
1:58:15
Speaker 1: and urban programs, and no one just seems to care
1:58:18
Speaker 1: about those folks out and like say rural West Virginia
1:58:21
Speaker 1: for example, Congressman.
1:58:23
Speaker 6: For sure, any of my a big chunk of my
1:58:26
Speaker 6: district borders on on West Virginia too, and they're in
1:58:29
Speaker 6: the same situation we're in in Kentucky. As well, and
1:58:32
Speaker 6: it's an out of sight, out of mind saying. And
1:58:35
Speaker 6: they're the kind of people that don't complain. They were
1:58:37
Speaker 6: the kind of people call them to make do, people
1:58:40
Speaker 6: that make do with whatever they got, and they don't.
1:58:42
Speaker 6: They don't complain. But I'm going to complain for them
1:58:45
Speaker 6: a peero, try to get them least on equal.
1:58:47
Speaker 1: Footing, understood, understood. And because it benefits those rural poor,
1:58:52
Speaker 1: it's not going to benefit the Democrat Party, So I
1:58:54
Speaker 1: have a feeling they'll be against it, even though they
1:58:56
Speaker 1: could just sort of recharacterize it and they'd be all
1:58:58
Speaker 1: about providing this type of service to the extent of
1:59:01
Speaker 1: benefit of Democrat voters. Congressman David Taylor, it's a real
1:59:05
Speaker 1: pleasure having you on. I appreciate your your again, your
1:59:07
Speaker 1: willingness to show up and talk about these issues very
1:59:09
Speaker 1: important to my listeners, and I'm glad to be able
1:59:12
Speaker 1: to help you spread the word on it. Keep up
1:59:14
Speaker 1: the great work on behalf of the American taxpayer.
1:59:16
Speaker 7: My friend, thank you, great being with you, and I
1:59:19
Speaker 7: have a great day.
1:59:20
Speaker 1: You do the same. A twenty five. It's great heaven.
1:59:22
Speaker 1: I heart media aviation expert Jay Ratliffe on he will
1:59:25
Speaker 1: for a month fifty five K the talk station, Hey
1:59:29
Speaker 1: thirty on a Thursday. It means one thing, and I'm
1:59:32
Speaker 1: always looking forward to this time of week. I heart media.
1:59:34
Speaker 1: Aviation expert Jay Ratliffe joins the show talk about of course,
1:59:38
Speaker 1: aviation topics. Welcome back, my dear friend. It's always great
1:59:40
Speaker 1: having you on the show.
1:59:42
Speaker 8: It's a Thursday. Can't get here fashion, brother.
1:59:45
Speaker 1: I'm glad you say that because I feel the same way.
1:59:47
Speaker 1: And you know not to labor the point, but I'm
1:59:50
Speaker 1: I'm sitting in my living room and all of a sudden,
1:59:52
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, I hear Jay Ratliffe. Where the hell's that
1:59:57
Speaker 1: voice coming from? My son was taking your one of
1:59:59
Speaker 1: your classes. I love he's loving that. By the way,
2:00:03
Speaker 1: he is all over. My son's one of Jay's students.
2:00:07
Speaker 8: Anyway, as long as as long as people follow the rules,
2:00:10
Speaker 8: were in good ship followed like you. Your voice follows you.
2:00:15
Speaker 8: Sherry and I are at the Sand Pearl in Clearwater
2:00:18
Speaker 8: and I'm going up in elevator and some lady who
2:00:21
Speaker 8: looks at me and says, are you from Cincinnati? And
2:00:23
Speaker 8: I said, yeah, She goes, I'm going to recognize your voice.
2:00:26
Speaker 8: So yeah, you can't get away with stuff where we're at.
2:00:30
Speaker 8: I'm I'm glad. It was a good day for me.
2:00:32
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, amen, brother, all right. The fastest growing airline
2:00:35
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six. Drum roll, Maestro Jay Ratliffe.
2:00:39
Speaker 8: Up forty one percent. We have him in Cincinnati. It's
2:00:43
Speaker 8: Breeze Airways. Breeze Breeze yep. They started operations in twenty
2:00:48
Speaker 8: twenty one, low cost carrier bringing in brand new airplanes.
2:00:52
Speaker 8: They started their operation at the beginning at twenty twenty one.
2:00:56
Speaker 8: They joined US three years ago. I think it was
2:00:58
Speaker 8: February of three years ago, and since then they've continue
2:01:01
Speaker 8: to expand their network. They've added international service and based
2:01:06
Speaker 8: on the scheduled service from Aviation Analytics from last year
2:01:10
Speaker 8: to this year, they're operating forty one percent more flights
2:01:13
Speaker 8: now in early twenty twenty six that they did last year.
2:01:17
Speaker 8: And again, they started Cincinnati three years ago, they've grown since.
2:01:21
Speaker 8: They now provide service to five cities. I think it's Charleston,
2:01:25
Speaker 8: San Francisco, and then we get seasonal service to Hartford,
2:01:28
Speaker 8: Providence and one of my all time favorites at San Diego.
2:01:31
Speaker 8: And the man that started this airline started jet Blue,
2:01:34
Speaker 8: which we've heard of, also started west Jet, the low
2:01:38
Speaker 8: cost carrier in Canada. And I think one of his
2:01:42
Speaker 8: kids may go to school somewhere in the Dayton area,
2:01:44
Speaker 8: but in college. But they are constantly growing. And I
2:01:48
Speaker 8: hear from so many people across the country that said,
2:01:51
Speaker 8: my wife made a reservation on some airline. I've never
2:01:54
Speaker 8: heard of breeze. What do you think. I said, well, look,
2:01:56
Speaker 8: I've got nothing but high marks to say, but go
2:02:00
Speaker 8: back to me after your trip and let me know.
2:02:02
Speaker 8: And I hear from people constantly saying, oh my gosh,
2:02:05
Speaker 8: we had a great time. They treated us great, the
2:02:07
Speaker 8: fairs were great, and I wish everybody else could be
2:02:10
Speaker 8: like this. So yeah, I'm thrilled that we've got them
2:02:12
Speaker 8: in Cincinnati and that they continue to.
2:02:13
Speaker 1: Grow well, and growth means maybe adding more cities. And
2:02:16
Speaker 1: I guess I'm just kind of puzzling over that was
2:02:18
Speaker 1: a pretty random disparate number of a selection of cities.
2:02:22
Speaker 1: I guess I don't need to get getting the weeds
2:02:24
Speaker 1: on it, but it seems like a weird how do
2:02:25
Speaker 1: they arrive at those cities as opposed to some of
2:02:28
Speaker 1: the other ones that we might think of.
2:02:30
Speaker 8: The analytics that they go through, or they determined where
2:02:33
Speaker 8: are people flying to out of this market. And I
2:02:36
Speaker 8: can tell you all the different stops that I had
2:02:40
Speaker 8: in the airline industry. If I was in a specific
2:02:44
Speaker 8: city and there was a lot of people that were
2:02:45
Speaker 8: flying from our city through a connection city to let's say,
2:02:49
Speaker 8: you know, Boston, the airline said, well, if we got
2:02:52
Speaker 8: that many people, what if we did a NonStop from
2:02:54
Speaker 8: that city to Boston versus everybody being forced to go
2:02:57
Speaker 8: through Atlanta or whatever the city it was happened to be.
2:03:00
Speaker 8: And they will put that service in after they've done
2:03:03
Speaker 8: an extensive survey, and if the market supports it. Instead
2:03:07
Speaker 8: of one flight today, they may give them two flights today.
2:03:09
Speaker 8: It was a lot like when comm Air was here.
2:03:11
Speaker 8: They decided to run a flight to Manchester and they thought, well,
2:03:16
Speaker 8: it's thirty minutes or whatever it is from Boston, so
2:03:20
Speaker 8: let's try it. And it was so well received. I
2:03:23
Speaker 8: think at the peak there might have been five or
2:03:24
Speaker 8: six flights a day back and forth between Cincinnati and
2:03:29
Speaker 8: there and back. And you know, when you look at it,
2:03:31
Speaker 8: it was great to see because all they're doing is
2:03:34
Speaker 8: providing service to where people want to fly. And that's
2:03:37
Speaker 8: what Breeze and other carriers are doing. Likewise, if they
2:03:40
Speaker 8: start to see the services a little bit soft, airlines
2:03:43
Speaker 8: will cancel some of their flights or they will use
2:03:46
Speaker 8: smaller airplanes to do so. So that's one of the
2:03:49
Speaker 8: things that they're always looking at it saying, look, if
2:03:51
Speaker 8: we're flying too big of an airplane, let's put a
2:03:53
Speaker 8: smaller airplane in there so we can maintain the service.
2:03:56
Speaker 8: Or it's dropped off so much that instead of four
2:03:59
Speaker 8: flights a day, let's go with three flights or two
2:04:01
Speaker 8: flights today. And you know that's we've seen delta in
2:04:04
Speaker 8: American I think United also do that here, giving us
2:04:06
Speaker 8: bigger airplanes in some markets because the demand continues to
2:04:10
Speaker 8: increase and they want to respond to that.
2:04:13
Speaker 1: Fair enough, we'll pause, bring Jay rylif back. Que a
2:04:15
Speaker 1: few different topics to talk with Jay about, as is
2:04:17
Speaker 1: always the case, including sounds like a stack of stupid
2:04:19
Speaker 1: story from a Friday intoxicated passenger removing his clothes during
2:04:24
Speaker 1: a flight. More with Jay rylf It at eight thirty
2:04:26
Speaker 1: five right now fifty five ker CIT Talk station, fifty
2:04:28
Speaker 1: five KRC fifty five KRCD talk station. Have you ever
2:04:34
Speaker 1: been in a cockpit before a thirty eight if if
2:04:36
Speaker 1: you have KERCD talk station. I know Jay Ryd left
2:04:38
Speaker 1: has i heeart media aviation expert. All right, before we
2:04:44
Speaker 1: get to the naked guy. Uh, let's what's the story
2:04:47
Speaker 1: with Air India grounding it's Boeing sevent eighty seven Dreamliners.
2:04:51
Speaker 1: Is this represented maybe a broader problem? Jay?
2:04:54
Speaker 8: Yeah, Yeah. What they're saying is that they've they've seen
2:04:56
Speaker 8: reports of issues with the fuel control switch, so because
2:05:01
Speaker 8: they're saying it to defect, but really what we're looking
2:05:04
Speaker 8: at is the possibility of a problem. So they're airing
2:05:07
Speaker 8: on the side of caution and they have grounded their
2:05:10
Speaker 8: fleet of I think thirty eight of these Boeing seven
2:05:13
Speaker 8: eighty seven Dreamliners. So Boeing and the FAA are looking
2:05:17
Speaker 8: into this to see if there's any reports or any
2:05:19
Speaker 8: issues that would support the need for advising other airlines
2:05:23
Speaker 8: of the countries around the world that would be operating.
2:05:25
Speaker 8: I think we've got just over eleven hundred of these
2:05:28
Speaker 8: airplanes that are flying right now around the world, so
2:05:32
Speaker 8: if there is an issue there, we'll look at it.
2:05:34
Speaker 8: Of course, Air India had that horrific crash last year
2:05:38
Speaker 8: where one of the crew members apparently turned off the
2:05:41
Speaker 8: fuel that caused it to crash. So I don't know
2:05:45
Speaker 8: if this is something where that I don't know. I mean,
2:05:48
Speaker 8: you look at it legally, you look at it operationally,
2:05:51
Speaker 8: and there's a lot of questions that swirl. But at
2:05:54
Speaker 8: this point in time, no other airlines have reported this,
2:05:57
Speaker 8: so I mean, obviously we'll keep an eye on it
2:05:58
Speaker 8: and see where it goes.
2:05:59
Speaker 1: Well, it's like a I suppose the FAA is sort
2:06:03
Speaker 1: of in a position of like a car manufacturer. They
2:06:06
Speaker 1: determined whether there's going to be a recall or like
2:06:08
Speaker 1: issue a technical service bulletin kind of thing.
2:06:12
Speaker 6: Yeah.
2:06:12
Speaker 8: Yeah, And the way it works is we had a
2:06:15
Speaker 8: Southwest Airlines flight that had an uncontrolled engine failure where
2:06:19
Speaker 8: the engine just kind of fell, came apart in flight
2:06:23
Speaker 8: and actually pierced the side of the aircraft and forced
2:06:26
Speaker 8: an emergency landing in Pensacola. And when the NTSB did
2:06:31
Speaker 8: their their work, which is again they're the all star team,
2:06:34
Speaker 8: they said, oops, part of this engines is reaching a
2:06:38
Speaker 8: point of fatigue faster than we thought. So the NTSB
2:06:41
Speaker 8: told the FAA our recommendation has had these engines inspected immediately.
2:06:46
Speaker 8: So that's what the FAA can or cannot do, and
2:06:48
Speaker 8: instead they looked at the airlines and said, well, maybe
2:06:53
Speaker 8: we can recommend that you do it, but we're not
2:06:56
Speaker 8: going to mandate it. It's totally up to you. Even
2:06:59
Speaker 8: when the indiine engine manufacturer came along and said, wait
2:07:01
Speaker 8: a minute, we also agree with the NTSB, these need
2:07:04
Speaker 8: to be inspected. Now, the FAA again said we're going
2:07:08
Speaker 8: to leave it up to the airlines. Eighteen months later,
2:07:11
Speaker 8: the same thing happened over Pennsylvania and a passenger was killed.
2:07:14
Speaker 8: So a lot of times I grow really frustrated with
2:07:18
Speaker 8: the FAA. I'm not saying yielding to the pressure of
2:07:20
Speaker 8: the airline lobbying group, because there was a great deal
2:07:23
Speaker 8: of cost associated with those engine inspections, but sometimes they're
2:07:29
Speaker 8: kind of slow, and sometimes there needs to be an
2:07:31
Speaker 8: accident or a near accident before we do things that
2:07:33
Speaker 8: need to be done, which again shouldn't be the case,
2:07:36
Speaker 8: but history shows that, sadly, that tends to be what happens.
2:07:40
Speaker 1: Oh gee, and here's the Federal Aviation Emission agreeing with
2:07:44
Speaker 1: the NTSB that, woops, we screwed up our decision to
2:07:47
Speaker 1: allow helicopter routes to operate near a runway at Reagan
2:07:50
Speaker 1: National Airport was a really stupid idea. Whoops, sorry, are bad?
2:07:56
Speaker 8: Right, Yeah, it's sad to see that, especially when you
2:07:59
Speaker 8: have so many indications of possible problems where it's obvious
2:08:03
Speaker 8: something's up, something's going wrong, and it's a matter of
2:08:07
Speaker 8: how many near missus do we need to have in
2:08:10
Speaker 8: the thousands and thousands and thousands before somebody says, you know,
2:08:13
Speaker 8: we're on borrowed time here. But you know, sometimes logistically
2:08:18
Speaker 8: from an operational standpoint, there is sometimes only so much
2:08:21
Speaker 8: you can do, but there's always options. You can either
2:08:24
Speaker 8: throttle back on the number of flights going through an area,
2:08:28
Speaker 8: or you can change certain arrival departure patterns, or in
2:08:31
Speaker 8: that case, stop the military flights from going across the
2:08:34
Speaker 8: river there like they were doing both in training and transportation.
2:08:38
Speaker 8: And it was a very very slow process, which again
2:08:41
Speaker 8: we had to have the crash before the focus was
2:08:44
Speaker 8: on there. And now the FA is looking at creating
2:08:47
Speaker 8: a separate safety board that is going to look at
2:08:51
Speaker 8: specific things to you know, kind of speed things along.
2:08:54
Speaker 8: Now I would have thought just making the FAA better
2:08:58
Speaker 8: at what they did, if they needed moreactors or what
2:09:00
Speaker 8: have you would have been the fix. But to have
2:09:03
Speaker 8: a separate entity there, I'm not really sure of at
2:09:07
Speaker 8: this point in time. But we'll see where it goes,
2:09:09
Speaker 8: because I don't know. It's a lot like having those
2:09:11
Speaker 8: committee meetings we've talked about where there were working on it, folks.
2:09:15
Speaker 8: We've got that committee that's going to be looking into it,
2:09:19
Speaker 8: blah blah. I mean, it's just it's it sounds political.
2:09:22
Speaker 1: It does sounds like just adding another layer of governments
2:09:25
Speaker 1: to make it look like they're doing something, and ultimately
2:09:27
Speaker 1: it's status quo.
2:09:28
Speaker 8: Which is what which was exactly how the TSA was born,
2:09:32
Speaker 8: because nine to eleven was not a process or a
2:09:35
Speaker 8: result of a lack of security. It was the protocol
2:09:38
Speaker 8: at the time. But to make people feel like we
2:09:41
Speaker 8: were addressing it, attacking it, we created an entire new
2:09:45
Speaker 8: government body that's got fifty thousand plus new federal employees.
2:09:49
Speaker 8: When George Bush did that as president, I thought, I understand,
2:09:53
Speaker 8: we need to act like we're doing something, but I
2:09:56
Speaker 8: don't think this is it. And I still, you know,
2:09:58
Speaker 8: I still agree that that wasn't the step to take.
2:10:01
Speaker 1: Hey, then, brother, all right, let's move over to the
2:10:03
Speaker 1: intoxicated passenger. I love these types of stories Jay makes up.
2:10:06
Speaker 1: He stack the stupid most notably on Friday. And since
2:10:09
Speaker 1: it involves naked guy, yeah it was.
2:10:13
Speaker 8: In fact, the passengers on board called this a thrilling situation,
2:10:16
Speaker 8: so I guess it was fun to watch. But it
2:10:19
Speaker 8: was during an Air Asia flight Vietnam to Thailand. You
2:10:22
Speaker 8: got a guy on board that starts to get agitated,
2:10:24
Speaker 8: and he starts walking up down the aisle saying he
2:10:26
Speaker 8: wants off the airplane. Yeah, no problem, and it's not
2:10:28
Speaker 8: like he can pull over to the curb and let
2:10:30
Speaker 8: him step out. But he gets into this fit and
2:10:33
Speaker 8: he starts tearing off his clothes all the way down
2:10:34
Speaker 8: to his underwear, and they finally got the guy subdued
2:10:38
Speaker 8: enough where he would sit. The plane lands, he jumps
2:10:41
Speaker 8: up and runs out the front door, and instead of
2:10:43
Speaker 8: going down the jet bridge into the airport, he busts
2:10:46
Speaker 8: through the door and goes down the steps to the ramp.
2:10:48
Speaker 8: Now he's thinking nobody's watching him and nobody can see him,
2:10:52
Speaker 8: so he jumps under a truck, a fuel truck, like
2:10:55
Speaker 8: nobody's gonna see him, and I'm sure his legs were
2:10:57
Speaker 8: hanging out too, so it's not like nobody's not going
2:10:59
Speaker 8: to see hm. The police were quickly there, obviously and
2:11:02
Speaker 8: got him arrested. Alcohol was certainly involved, I think in
2:11:06
Speaker 8: excess here. But he's he's arrested and we'll see where
2:11:09
Speaker 8: it goes from there. But the passengers on board, did
2:11:12
Speaker 8: they once feel threatened?
2:11:13
Speaker 7: No.
2:11:13
Speaker 8: The word they kept using was it was thrilling. So
2:11:16
Speaker 8: I guess he was on board entertainment. I don't know.
2:11:19
Speaker 1: Sometimes that's the circus sideshow of life. Jay Ratlift, We'll pause,
2:11:23
Speaker 1: will bring Jay back.
2:11:24
Speaker 8: It's like, yeah, it's like the woman in Fort Lauderdale
2:11:26
Speaker 8: years ago was walking through the airport slowly taking off
2:11:29
Speaker 8: her clothes every fifteen twenty steps. A lot of men
2:11:32
Speaker 8: consider that thrilling as well.
2:11:34
Speaker 1: Maybe even some women don't. Away, we have a couple
2:11:37
Speaker 1: more topics go and of course get a hub delay,
2:11:40
Speaker 1: as we always do at the end of the segment
2:11:42
Speaker 1: with Jay Ratlift. One more stick around fifty five KRC Men, Trump, Hey,
2:11:48
Speaker 1: forty eight Happy Friday Eve tomorrow on the fifty five
2:11:51
Speaker 1: KRC Morning show Tech Friday with Dave Hatter and Congressman
2:11:55
Speaker 1: Warren Davidson returns tomorrow. I accidently called Congressman Taylor Congressman
2:11:59
Speaker 1: Davidson earlier. He didn't mind that that was actually a compliment.
2:12:01
Speaker 1: But that's tomorrow and today we are talking as we
2:12:04
Speaker 1: always close out the show three segments with iHeartMedia aviation
2:12:07
Speaker 1: expert Jay Ratlos. The new mandate not two hours of
2:12:12
Speaker 1: cockpit recording, but twenty five hours, which sounds we're talking
2:12:16
Speaker 1: about the cockpit flight recording, Jay.
2:12:19
Speaker 8: Yeah, one of the two block boxes is the cockpit
2:12:22
Speaker 8: voice recorder of the CBR, and it's on a loop
2:12:26
Speaker 8: of two hours, and the National Transportation Safety Board for
2:12:29
Speaker 8: a number of years has told the FAA, look, we
2:12:33
Speaker 8: need more than two hours when we're doing an investigation
2:12:35
Speaker 8: because sometimes we need more because of what's going on
2:12:40
Speaker 8: during the flight, and having a short two hour loop
2:12:44
Speaker 8: is just not enough, and they wanted something twenty five
2:12:47
Speaker 8: hours or so. So it finally got to the point
2:12:50
Speaker 8: after I think the NTSB has been asking for this
2:12:53
Speaker 8: since twenty eighteen, and it was last Friday that the
2:12:56
Speaker 8: Fighter Aviation Administration said, Okay, we are going to now
2:12:59
Speaker 8: finalize our rule to require cockpit voice recorders to retain
2:13:02
Speaker 8: twenty five hours of data for all passenger planes. I
2:13:06
Speaker 8: believe beginning next year in twenty twenty seven, and they're
2:13:09
Speaker 8: going to replace that with that two hour loop. This
2:13:11
Speaker 8: is already being done in Europe where airlines or airplanes
2:13:16
Speaker 8: are designed to collect that twenty five hours of the
2:13:19
Speaker 8: voice recordings. They've been doing that for three or four years,
2:13:22
Speaker 8: maybe five at this point in time. So I'm really
2:13:24
Speaker 8: pleased that the FA's taking this needed step because all
2:13:28
Speaker 8: it's going to do is make it easier for them
2:13:31
Speaker 8: to do their job. And again, they're the all star team.
2:13:34
Speaker 8: Anytime we've got an accident or near accident, that's the
2:13:37
Speaker 8: team that's dispatched to investigate it. They learn a lot,
2:13:40
Speaker 8: and then they turn those findings over to the FAA,
2:13:42
Speaker 8: who can, if they so choose, implement some of the
2:13:46
Speaker 8: changes that have been recommended after the investigations concluded.
2:13:49
Speaker 1: Well, I can only imagine the two hour requirement was
2:13:52
Speaker 1: back in the days when maybe data storage was really
2:13:54
Speaker 1: expensive or something, but in these modern times, I mean
2:13:58
Speaker 1: data storage.
2:13:59
Speaker 8: Also, you look at how aviation was thirty forty fifty
2:14:04
Speaker 8: years ago too. Our loops were fine because what ended
2:14:08
Speaker 8: up taking place is most of the time the flights
2:14:10
Speaker 8: were short segments where most of the flights were at
2:14:14
Speaker 8: under two hours, because you know, before the days of
2:14:17
Speaker 8: the hub and spoke distribution, you'd have a flight from
2:14:20
Speaker 8: Cincinnati to the West coast. It might make three stops
2:14:23
Speaker 8: or four stops. It was still a direct flight. It
2:14:25
Speaker 8: was not NonStop to the ultimate destination, but it would
2:14:28
Speaker 8: make several stops in between. So you know, two hours
2:14:31
Speaker 8: was something that was okay. Pilots haven't been incredibly excited
2:14:36
Speaker 8: about that because they feel like the airlines could use
2:14:39
Speaker 8: that if they wanted to try to get rid of
2:14:41
Speaker 8: somebody that's making a lot of money under some little
2:14:44
Speaker 8: technicality of some kind. So there's concern on their part.
2:14:48
Speaker 8: But again, the FAA is moving forward with this and
2:14:51
Speaker 8: I'm very pleased.
2:14:51
Speaker 1: To see it, and the FAA is on the job
2:14:54
Speaker 1: looking into a close call this one at the San
2:14:56
Speaker 1: Antonio Airport. What's the story behind this one? Jay?
2:14:58
Speaker 8: We had a sound off West flight that was cleared
2:15:02
Speaker 8: for takeoff and it started rolling down the runway increasing speed.
2:15:08
Speaker 8: But then we had a small, smaller aircraft General Aviation
2:15:11
Speaker 8: at the other end of the runway that took a
2:15:13
Speaker 8: wrong turn onto that active runway and was actually turned
2:15:17
Speaker 8: and taxing somewhat slowly. Towards the Southwest plane, so we've
2:15:22
Speaker 8: got two planes pointed at each other. An air traffic
2:15:25
Speaker 8: controller spotted this smaller airplane and immediately ordered Southwest to
2:15:29
Speaker 8: cancel their takeoff, and I mean the voice on the
2:15:32
Speaker 8: air traffic control tape. He was definitely trying to get
2:15:37
Speaker 8: Southwest's attention to try to stop their takeoff. They did.
2:15:40
Speaker 8: The two aircraft didn't come any closer than I think
2:15:43
Speaker 8: about two thousand feet, but still, when you've got one
2:15:46
Speaker 8: accelerating to more than one hundred and fifty miles an hour,
2:15:48
Speaker 8: that distance can be closed rapidly. So the FAA will
2:15:53
Speaker 8: be having a conversation, I am sure, with the pilot
2:15:56
Speaker 8: of that smaller aircraft. But this is just another one
2:15:59
Speaker 8: of these incidents, and they happen not frequently, well, they do,
2:16:03
Speaker 8: but the air traffic controllers do such a good job
2:16:07
Speaker 8: of making sure that if there's any ground equipment or
2:16:09
Speaker 8: any aircraft where it shouldn't be, they'll tell airplanes to
2:16:12
Speaker 8: go around to stop their taxi or take off. And
2:16:17
Speaker 8: even though they're understaffed, they do an incredible, incredible job,
2:16:20
Speaker 8: and that's one of the reasons I'm still very very
2:16:23
Speaker 8: pleased that President Trump has made it early in his
2:16:25
Speaker 8: administration a priority to fix that, to get the thousands
2:16:30
Speaker 8: and thousands of air traffic controllers that we need hired
2:16:33
Speaker 8: or trained quickly, so that in the next four or
2:16:36
Speaker 8: five years, because that's how long it takes to train everybody,
2:16:39
Speaker 8: get them back on the job. So these men and
2:16:41
Speaker 8: women don't have to work six seven hour or day
2:16:44
Speaker 8: work weeks. They can actually have a day off or
2:16:46
Speaker 8: oh my gosh, gas a weekend off. Yeah, and not
2:16:49
Speaker 8: be as exhausted as these people.
2:16:51
Speaker 1: Are right now, no question about it. That's a stressful job,
2:16:55
Speaker 1: as I think you certainly know that, all right. And
2:16:58
Speaker 1: before we get the hub delays, we have well, idiots
2:17:01
Speaker 1: doing idiot things because they're idiots, apparently, Jay, another laser incident.
2:17:07
Speaker 8: Yeah, Charlotte American Airlines thirty one fourteen final approach, when
2:17:11
Speaker 8: someone on the ground pointed one of these powerful handheld
2:17:14
Speaker 8: lasers at the plane. And you know, I've talked about
2:17:16
Speaker 8: it before. These lasers can actually cause temporary blindness to
2:17:19
Speaker 8: a flight crew because it hits the cockpit ceiling and
2:17:22
Speaker 8: it illuminates it to such an extent that they lose
2:17:27
Speaker 8: their site. In fact, we've had some pilots that had
2:17:29
Speaker 8: to retire because they've lost vision in an eye because
2:17:33
Speaker 8: of these laser attacks. The last year that we've seen
2:17:37
Speaker 8: a full year of report, I think was twenty twenty four.
2:17:40
Speaker 8: The FA had ten nine and ninety three of these
2:17:43
Speaker 8: laser strikes that were reported. And look, if you get
2:17:46
Speaker 8: caught with this, ye're talking about the thirty two thousand
2:17:48
Speaker 8: dollars minimum fine can reach up to two hundred and
2:17:51
Speaker 8: fifty thousand dollars and he can go to prison for
2:17:53
Speaker 8: five years. So it's stupid and sadly we don't catch
2:17:58
Speaker 8: enough of these people because once the aircraft is hit,
2:18:01
Speaker 8: as they're you know, at that critical moment of flight,
2:18:04
Speaker 8: take off the landing, for them to have to relay
2:18:06
Speaker 8: air air traffic controller where the idiot is. At many
2:18:10
Speaker 8: times it's you know, half a mile or a mile
2:18:12
Speaker 8: behind him at that point in time, and to give
2:18:14
Speaker 8: an exact location is very difficult. Now, we did have
2:18:17
Speaker 8: one of these people that experienced karma when he pointed
2:18:20
Speaker 8: one of these at a helicopter that was a sheriff's
2:18:23
Speaker 8: helicopter and they chased him down and got him, and
2:18:26
Speaker 8: I was glad for that. But if you ever see
2:18:27
Speaker 8: somebody that's acting in this kind of manner, please stopped him,
2:18:31
Speaker 8: because they're putting people's lives at risk when they're like, ooh,
2:18:33
Speaker 8: I wonder if I can you know, paint this airplane
2:18:35
Speaker 8: that's flying over because it can actually blind the pilots
2:18:38
Speaker 8: and cause a crash that could actually kill people.
2:18:42
Speaker 1: Anyhow, I don't understand people's actions some days.
2:18:45
Speaker 8: Finally, alcohols involved in Alcohol is involved.
2:18:47
Speaker 6: In some of those, my friends.
2:18:49
Speaker 1: You're right, yes, And finally, we always part company on
2:18:52
Speaker 1: hub delays. How's looking out there for air.
2:18:53
Speaker 8: Traveled y Chicago, Detroit, Tampa, Orlando weather delays. Was snow
2:18:58
Speaker 8: in the north and a lot of rain through the south.
2:19:00
Speaker 8: That's going to give us some weather related delays approaching
2:19:03
Speaker 8: an hour. But all in all pretty decent, I mean
2:19:06
Speaker 8: for February weather, so minimal delays and if you picked today,
2:19:09
Speaker 8: pretty good day to fly it.
2:19:10
Speaker 1: Jay Ryler, thank go for you. Love having you on
2:19:12
Speaker 1: the show. It's great information and sometimes quite comical. And
2:19:16
Speaker 1: look forward to having another talk with you next Thursday.
2:19:18
Speaker 1: Keep up the great work, my friend, and as always
2:19:20
Speaker 1: up as to health and loved you in your better
2:19:22
