2:12
Speaker 3: Make Government Work new campaign from AFP. Can you make
2:17
Speaker 3: government work? Not during a shutdown? Oh yeah, maybe you can.
2:21
Speaker 3: It's like Donald Trump got a lot of his appointees
2:24
Speaker 3: approved yesterday. Some work can get done. Congressman Thomas Massy
2:29
Speaker 3: eight to five. Congressman Massy, you'll talk about the shutdown,
2:32
Speaker 3: And oh, has anybody else heard anything about the Epstein
2:38
Speaker 3: files lately? I know we got a lot going on
2:40
Speaker 3: into the world. We're easily distracted, maybe intentionally, so Congress
2:44
Speaker 3: am asking is going to be talking about the Epstein
2:45
Speaker 3: file vote, which may be fast approaching. A lot of
2:49
Speaker 3: folks sweating bullets. And I still can't abide the Trump
2:52
Speaker 3: administration just turning on doing a one point eighty on
2:55
Speaker 3: releasing those documents. Lots of very well healed folks suggested
3:00
Speaker 3: will be implicated if the documents are released. Big money folks,
3:04
Speaker 3: champions of industry, those evil corporate billionaires. At least suggestions
3:08
Speaker 3: along those lines have been made. Go ahead and figure
3:11
Speaker 3: out for yourself. I don't know why they haven't been released.
3:13
Speaker 3: Maybe Congressman Massi can shed some light on that and
3:16
Speaker 3: be around at eight oho five for that conversation. And
3:19
Speaker 3: Judge endeda Poulitano when presidents kill more about launching rocket
3:24
Speaker 3: strikes and blowing up drug dealers, and they're recently it
3:27
Speaker 3: was kind of odd. There's a DOJ A Justice Department
3:35
Speaker 3: Legal analysis. Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel issued an
3:40
Speaker 3: opinion which so far has not been circulated, you and
3:43
Speaker 3: I haven't been able to see. CNN reported on this
3:46
Speaker 3: which said, basically, the Trump administration can authorize these strikes
3:49
Speaker 3: on the cartels, but he has unit basically unlimited authority.
3:56
Speaker 3: PRESIDENTI allowed to authorize deadly force against a broad range
3:59
Speaker 3: of cartels because they pose what the legal councils suggests
4:03
Speaker 3: are an imminent threat to Americans. And also the opinion
4:08
Speaker 3: suggests the list of cartels goes beyond the ones that
4:11
Speaker 3: the administration has publicly designated as terrorist organization, like the
4:15
Speaker 3: deer Agua gang. That I believe that those whose boats
4:18
Speaker 3: are being blown up on the off the coast of Venezuela.
4:22
Speaker 3: But it is pointed out, and this is something that
4:25
Speaker 3: Politana will also argue. I'm sure historically drug trafficking is
4:31
Speaker 3: a criminal act, and the Coastguard just picks up the
4:37
Speaker 3: drug trafficking vessels, arrests the smugglers, and we well prosecute
4:41
Speaker 3: them in a court of law with due process. You know,
4:45
Speaker 3: I'm worried about this. I know no one's got any
4:48
Speaker 3: love for drug dealers, and you know, I'll admit to
4:50
Speaker 3: a bit of shot and fraud. I want to see
4:51
Speaker 3: a bomb blow up a boat full of drugs. But
4:54
Speaker 3: I don't abide by it happening that way. There seems
4:58
Speaker 3: to me there should be some congressional and you know,
5:00
Speaker 3: this is literally a war that's being waged. Granted it's
5:03
Speaker 3: not under you know, against an army flying under the
5:06
Speaker 3: color of a state flag. This is an organized drug
5:08
Speaker 3: or cartel. It's kind of like fighting terrorists, isn't it.
5:13
Speaker 3: Rather than blowing people up in the name of some
5:15
Speaker 3: fundamentalist religion, Well, they're committing acts of crime and killing
5:18
Speaker 3: people in the name of making money by well, shipping
5:21
Speaker 3: drugs into the United States where the demand is quite heavy.
5:26
Speaker 3: I think we need to look more inwardly with regard
5:28
Speaker 3: to the drug problem, because we are the problem. There's
5:33
Speaker 3: always an entrepreneur out there who's going to see a
5:34
Speaker 3: money making opportunity and ignore the morality and ethics of
5:37
Speaker 3: making money just for the sake of making money. Welcome
5:40
Speaker 3: to the drug industry. So there have been I think
5:45
Speaker 3: four strikes on these boats so far, and again I
5:49
Speaker 3: see it happening. But we live in a crazy world.
5:52
Speaker 3: This whole Russia Ukraine drone war has really revealed the
5:55
Speaker 3: obvious nature of the change of the military landscape. And
5:59
Speaker 3: if you can go out Amazon and order a drone
6:01
Speaker 3: and have it delivered to your front door today, it's
6:05
Speaker 3: that easy to get a drone. And these military drones
6:08
Speaker 3: obviously are inexpensive to manufacture, and they're literally everywhere in
6:12
Speaker 3: the tens of thousands. All you need is a drone
6:15
Speaker 3: to blow something up. Can you use the hell fire missile?
6:17
Speaker 3: Sure you can. Can you use other yeah? But what
6:22
Speaker 3: if some other country with this technology and everybody's getting it.
6:29
Speaker 3: It's not like a nuclear power technology or nuclear weapons technology.
6:33
Speaker 3: Apparently that's very difficult to get because you have to
6:35
Speaker 3: have centrifuges. You have to invest tens of millions and
6:38
Speaker 3: billions perhaps dollars to create a bomb. Look at North Korea,
6:41
Speaker 3: they've been working at it for decade. Look at Well.
6:46
Speaker 3: Of course, you've got a lot of countries. Iran has
6:49
Speaker 3: been working on building a bomb for decades and decades. Now, right,
6:52
Speaker 3: it isn't easy to accomplish. But can you buy up
6:54
Speaker 3: a whole bunch of drones and conduct missile strike?
6:57
Speaker 2: Sure?
6:57
Speaker 3: What if they designated Donald Trump or someone the administration
7:00
Speaker 3: or just the United States generally as a country that
7:04
Speaker 3: poses an eminent threat to them. I mean, Iran can
7:07
Speaker 3: make a good argument for that, couldn't it. We drones
7:10
Speaker 3: strike them and blow them up and drop big bunker
7:12
Speaker 3: busting bombs on them. We are an eminent threat to
7:15
Speaker 3: the existence of Iran. Maybe they can start launching drones
7:18
Speaker 3: against us. I know we would declare an act of
7:20
Speaker 3: it would be an active war. We have nuclear weapons.
7:23
Speaker 3: That's why other countries maybe don't go after us. The
7:26
Speaker 3: great deterrence, this massive military might we have. But does
7:32
Speaker 3: that justify our massive military might? Does it justify us
7:35
Speaker 3: going off and letting any president? Remember this shouldn't be
7:39
Speaker 3: an argument over whose ox is being gored. Some other
7:42
Speaker 3: president under a different political party. Perhaps in this role,
7:46
Speaker 3: that is a tremendous amount of power and it's a
7:50
Speaker 3: well it is literally waging war. Now you can make
7:53
Speaker 3: the argument, well, this is directed at drug dealers. This
7:56
Speaker 3: isn't directed at Venezuela or fill in the blank on
7:58
Speaker 3: any country. But if it's taking place on their soil,
8:01
Speaker 3: in their waters, they could perceive it as an active
8:04
Speaker 3: war in spite of the fact it's an act directed
8:06
Speaker 3: at criminal element. So fast and loose with military power
8:11
Speaker 3: is not a road I want to go down to
8:14
Speaker 3: It should be a thoughtful analysis. It should be involved people.
8:17
Speaker 3: I would argue, of both political stripes. It's difficult for
8:21
Speaker 3: me to say that, but that's where I am. We
8:23
Speaker 3: have a constitution, It limits the presidential powers and war
8:27
Speaker 3: is something that should be avoided at all costs, even
8:32
Speaker 3: if it's a war on well, cartels and boats floating
8:35
Speaker 3: around in the middle of the ocean thousands of miles
8:39
Speaker 3: away eminent threat you decide. I imagine other lawyers and
8:47
Speaker 3: a different team of lawyers from the Office the Legal
8:49
Speaker 3: Counsel could have come up with a different conclusion. Yeah,
8:52
Speaker 3: it does happen that way anyway. Early votings started today
8:58
Speaker 3: since ani out Ere and Hamilton County early voting, it's open.
9:01
Speaker 3: Get out to the Board of Elections, cast your vote.
9:03
Speaker 3: I saw this article from Scott Warman over at the
9:06
Speaker 3: enquir and you know, I was really irked about it.
9:09
Speaker 3: I'm irked every time local reporters talk and mention Corey
9:13
Speaker 3: Bowman because it's always JD Vance's half brother, Corey Bowman
9:16
Speaker 3: or Corey Bowman jd Vance's half brother. Does that have
9:19
Speaker 3: any relevance on who Corey Bowman is? Jd Vance hasn't
9:22
Speaker 3: even I mean, isn't running. He hasn't really endorsed anybody.
9:26
Speaker 3: He's not campaigning for Corey Bowman. In fact, according to
9:28
Speaker 3: the reporting in this article, they rarely even talk, and
9:31
Speaker 3: when they do they talk about, you know, family stuff.
9:34
Speaker 3: But there it is in the headline. In Cincinnati. JD.
9:38
Speaker 3: Vance's half brother hopes for a political earthquake in mayor race.
9:42
Speaker 3: Corey Bowman's name is not even in the headline, despite
9:48
Speaker 3: or maybe because of Bowman's personal relationship to the White House.
9:51
Speaker 3: Bowman faces a steep climb to unsee democratic incumbent have
9:54
Speaker 3: to have pervall Hm this time around. The Republican canon
10:00
Speaker 3: for the city mayor also happens to be Vice President
10:02
Speaker 3: JD Vance's half brother. All of this from headline in
10:05
Speaker 3: the first page of the article. He's mentioned it three times.
10:12
Speaker 3: Goes on to show, yeah, he did finish a distance
10:14
Speaker 3: second in the primary, thirteen percent of the vote to
10:16
Speaker 3: pro Ball's eighty three fine apparently very limited spending so
10:21
Speaker 3: far this year. That's the current status of the race.
10:23
Speaker 3: There's been no television or radio ads. They point out,
10:26
Speaker 3: Purval has outraised Corey Bowman, reporting that pur of Ball's
10:29
Speaker 3: got one hundred and twenty seven grand, Bowman twenty three grand.
10:32
Speaker 3: But that's a painfully low number for even per Ball
10:36
Speaker 3: last time he got four hundred and thirty one thousand
10:41
Speaker 3: back in twenty one by this point in the race,
10:43
Speaker 3: So a lot less money, a lot less enthusiasm. And
10:47
Speaker 3: it's noted by one political commentator observer that well, with
10:49
Speaker 3: the voter turnout as low as it was for the
10:51
Speaker 3: primary at ten percent, Bowman's only shot, according to the
10:55
Speaker 3: political analysis, is if there is a low voter turnout,
10:59
Speaker 3: voter turnout and a really healthy number of voters that
11:05
Speaker 3: well normally would sit on their hands and not vote.
11:07
Speaker 3: You independent minded folks, you people believe the Democratic Party
11:11
Speaker 3: has left you. You Democrats have believe have to have.
11:13
Speaker 3: Provoll hasn't represented your interests and all the other conservative
11:18
Speaker 3: leaning folks out there who have given up on voting
11:21
Speaker 3: in Democrat in elections in cities of Cincinnati because well
11:23
Speaker 3: they it's the uphill battle that's referred to in the article.
11:29
Speaker 3: Don't give up on that. Mean Provoll is not It
11:36
Speaker 3: does not have an engaged base. It seems just look
11:40
Speaker 3: to the money and Bowman's Another component of this article
11:47
Speaker 3: and I believe it's an accurate assessment. The enquirre noted
11:51
Speaker 3: that all of the people that show out of these
11:53
Speaker 3: issue up at the Bowman rallies, or a lot of
11:55
Speaker 3: them anyway, or outside of the city of Cincinnati. Of course,
11:57
Speaker 3: he enjoys a lot of support out there among them
12:00
Speaker 3: or seeing conservative masses, so that's wonderful. And folks outside
12:05
Speaker 3: of the city that can't vote in the election can
12:06
Speaker 3: certainly support his campaign, put a yard sign in or
12:09
Speaker 3: hand him some money. More fundamentally, but we need the votes.
12:16
Speaker 3: And as much as you might love Corey Bowman outside
12:18
Speaker 3: of the city of Cincinnati, of people within the city
12:20
Speaker 3: of Cincinnati, the ones that are obviously going to be
12:22
Speaker 3: terming this so and then you know they mentioned the
12:26
Speaker 3: lower turnout. The political analyst over at the Vizavier University
12:29
Speaker 3: of Professor Marianni. He's a political science expert. If people
12:34
Speaker 3: don't show up, you don't need as many votes. It's
12:38
Speaker 3: the longest of long shots. Not a great assessment for
12:41
Speaker 3: Corey Bowman from presser Professor Marianni, but a little glimmer
12:45
Speaker 3: of pope if you show up. And of course the
12:47
Speaker 3: article concludes with one more reference, but Bowman's family. But
12:52
Speaker 3: it's Bowman's family that has drawn much of the attention.
12:55
Speaker 3: His half brother is Vice president JD.
12:58
Speaker 5: Van.
12:58
Speaker 3: So if you didn't get the memo as you're reading
13:00
Speaker 3: through Scott Wortman's article about this, guess what Corey Bowman is.
13:05
Speaker 2: JD.
13:05
Speaker 3: Van's's half brother. Beat that dead horse over and over
13:10
Speaker 3: and over and over, Scott, appreciate it five eighteen right now,
13:14
Speaker 3: Galaxy floor and this stuff is absolutely beautiful. But check
13:19
Speaker 3: out your concrete service. Love hearing from you. If feel
13:21
Speaker 3: pretty to call chime in like cribbage Mike did five one, three, seven,
13:25
Speaker 3: two three, talk pound five fifty on eight and t funds.
13:28
Speaker 3: Even though I got I beat you at cribbage during
13:31
Speaker 3: listener lunch last last week there, Mike, I didn't even
13:33
Speaker 3: mention to my listeners. I was so happy I beat you.
13:36
Speaker 3: I just forgot to say it out loud. Anyway.
13:39
Speaker 6: Well, when it's for a team, Brian, there's no reason
13:41
Speaker 6: to bring it up.
13:42
Speaker 4: Ah.
13:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, the the win loss of the ratio is
13:47
Speaker 3: kind of really has been leaning in my favor of late,
13:50
Speaker 3: although you're still far and away the winner over all.
13:53
Speaker 3: Since we've been playing cravage an it was great senior
13:55
Speaker 3: at lunch, Mike, I hope you had as good a
13:56
Speaker 3: time as I did.
13:57
Speaker 6: And ah, a good time was said by all. Absolutely
14:00
Speaker 6: that was fabulous. And listening to Cory and and Christopher,
14:04
Speaker 6: you know, just was the cherry on top.
14:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I thought they both did a wonderful job.
14:08
Speaker 3: And the next one for folks that want to show
14:10
Speaker 3: up at Nextlisser Ludge High Green Brewery, brent Wood location,
14:13
Speaker 3: that's November fifth, Mike, you're gonna.
14:15
Speaker 2: Be able to make that one out there, yes, sir, good, all.
14:18
Speaker 3: Right, what's on your mind? You didn't call in to
14:20
Speaker 3: talk about me or let me float?
14:22
Speaker 7: Well?
14:22
Speaker 6: Before I get to my point, I couldn't help to tag,
14:25
Speaker 6: you know, with the half brother Hope comment that they're
14:28
Speaker 6: driving down our throats, so uh, half Tab like they
14:32
Speaker 6: normally do. And I'm sure there were some Republican candidates
14:34
Speaker 6: outside the Board of Elections there Norwood, but of course
14:37
Speaker 6: they let alf Tab surrounded by his minions. But the
14:41
Speaker 6: first the only thing that the little audio clip they
14:43
Speaker 6: had was that he's going to defeat the MAGA movement.
14:46
Speaker 3: Yep.
14:47
Speaker 6: Now, when have you ever heard Corey Bowman Christopher Smitheman.
14:50
Speaker 6: Any of them mentioned Maga I.
14:51
Speaker 3: Know, and Joe Nacker sent me a campaign ad for
14:54
Speaker 3: Provoll and it was a picture of JD Vans and
14:57
Speaker 3: Trump Maga versus I don't know, the Unity Group or
15:02
Speaker 3: whatever the hell I have that pro Ball is calling himself.
15:04
Speaker 3: And so Joe suggested that that was a sign that
15:06
Speaker 3: they're getting worried over in the Provoll camp. I don't know,
15:09
Speaker 3: but it has become in this at least they're waging
15:13
Speaker 3: the Maga versus Provoll messaging. So whatever, it's obviously a lie.
15:19
Speaker 3: It's designed well when you got.
15:20
Speaker 6: Nothing else to run on, you know, maybe gin up
15:23
Speaker 6: your base by that, you know. And I'm sure you're
15:25
Speaker 6: going to mention the Fountain Square shooting yesterday, so maybe
15:28
Speaker 6: there were no red bikes around, so hopefully we don't
15:31
Speaker 6: have to inconvenience to But what I did want to
15:35
Speaker 6: mention that is that I was so disgusted with the
15:37
Speaker 6: capital d of the news coverage in Manhattan and around
15:41
Speaker 6: the world for the pro Hamas demonstrations on the second
15:46
Speaker 6: anniversary of the Israeli massacre. You know, these useful idiots.
15:51
Speaker 6: I think they should be strapped into chairs in an
15:54
Speaker 6: imax theater, so they can be surrounded and shown the
15:57
Speaker 6: raw footage of what occurred that day, the heading, the murder,
16:02
Speaker 6: the abduction mister Levin was on yesterday and just and
16:08
Speaker 6: I'll just take his numbers for it, but it kind
16:10
Speaker 6: of makes sense. Comparative numbers of the size of our
16:14
Speaker 6: country to Israel would be two hundred and fifty thousand
16:17
Speaker 6: Americans killed and forty thousand taken hostage. Now we're just
16:22
Speaker 6: going to sit back with that type of numbers and
16:24
Speaker 6: with the atrocities that took place that day. And then
16:27
Speaker 6: these people got the nerve on the integration and granted
16:29
Speaker 6: First Amendment, do what you want to do, but evil
16:32
Speaker 6: does not reside in Jerusalem, the White House or in
16:37
Speaker 6: ice detention centers. Well, you know, there is pure evils
16:40
Speaker 6: in this world and we're seeing it unleashed every single day.
16:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so your point about striving it down in
16:45
Speaker 3: an imax theater, making them watch that, And something tells
16:47
Speaker 3: me quite a few of them in the crowd would
16:49
Speaker 3: look at that and say, the fulfillment of my dreams.
16:54
Speaker 6: This is on a one off and wanting to wipe
16:56
Speaker 6: that country off the face.
16:58
Speaker 2: Of the earth.
16:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, it's a great point, Mike. It is really
17:01
Speaker 3: a great point. But I don't know what to say
17:06
Speaker 3: about it. Man, I just don't get that the idea
17:10
Speaker 3: resonates largely. You have crazy people that absolutely hate Jews
17:15
Speaker 3: period in the story. They want to abolish and eradicate
17:17
Speaker 3: Israel from the river to the sea. They just hate them,
17:20
Speaker 3: and that hatred's never going to go away. But is
17:22
Speaker 3: that hatred shared among the vast majority of people in
17:25
Speaker 3: the world or even in the United States of America.
17:28
Speaker 3: I can only pray that they represent a very slim minority.
17:31
Speaker 3: They're loud, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. They project
17:34
Speaker 3: size and strength because they're great at organizing, and they
17:38
Speaker 3: stay on their crazy message. That doesn't mean they're actually strong,
17:43
Speaker 3: and it doesn't mean they actually carry the way to
17:44
Speaker 3: popular opinion. So I'm hanging my hat of optimism on
17:48
Speaker 3: that hope good here in front of Mike. Thanks for
17:51
Speaker 3: your service for our country, my submarine or friend. I'll
17:53
Speaker 3: look forward to lunch Brentwood or High Grains Brentwood Location
17:57
Speaker 3: five thirty Wednesday, Big picture with Jack added at seven
18:02
Speaker 3: oh five. Tom's on a line five and three eight
18:05
Speaker 3: two three talk real quick here though, because we talked
18:07
Speaker 3: about it briefly there. Tom hold On, two people are
18:10
Speaker 3: now in custody. Shooting near Fountain Square Great Long East
18:16
Speaker 3: sixth Street Walnut Street happened yesterday in downtown yesterday afternoon
18:20
Speaker 3: in the daytime. It was bright outside court. To police,
18:24
Speaker 3: one person was shot and left with non life threatening injuries.
18:27
Speaker 3: Police said the victim was uncooperative with officers and Fox
18:31
Speaker 3: nineteen reporting Ken Korber Fop President. I think there's an
18:36
Speaker 3: extra letter in there. It's Cober, not Korber. Joe expressed
18:40
Speaker 3: shock that they got it that close. Ken Cover said
18:46
Speaker 3: there was some kind of altercation. There were two people
18:48
Speaker 3: who apparently both armed with guns, who shot each other
18:54
Speaker 3: to it. Altersrested and connection with the incident in charge
18:56
Speaker 3: with felonious assault. That's all the reporting we've got, although
18:58
Speaker 3: it is on video widely circulated by mayor ol candidate
19:03
Speaker 3: Corey Bowman, who really is not connected with the vice president. Tom,
19:09
Speaker 3: thanks for calling this morning, Welcome to the program.
19:12
Speaker 8: That shooting is just a figment of your imagination.
19:15
Speaker 2: It didn't really happened.
19:17
Speaker 8: Crime is crime is down in Cincinnati. Haven't you been
19:19
Speaker 8: listening to our illustrious mayor.
19:21
Speaker 3: It was all artificial intelligence. The video was whole cloth.
19:24
Speaker 8: Creation, right, I don't know what are you guys are
19:28
Speaker 8: going on?
19:29
Speaker 3: And the bullet the bullet wounds also de fake. You're
19:31
Speaker 3: not injured. Walk it off right, right, rub some dirt
19:35
Speaker 3: on it, ight.
19:36
Speaker 8: That's why that that's why the alleged victim is is
19:40
Speaker 8: not cooperating, right, because he might he might be uh
19:43
Speaker 8: if he even votes at all, he might be voting
19:45
Speaker 8: from the mayor for UH for AFTA. So anyway, Yeah,
19:51
Speaker 8: the reason I called is uh. I heard somebody say yesterday,
19:58
Speaker 8: I guess, adding on to my comm man about if
20:00
Speaker 8: I see a D next to your name and you're
20:02
Speaker 8: running for office, I kind of I believe you're not
20:06
Speaker 8: gonna do what needs to be done. You're not gonna
20:08
Speaker 8: take care of take care of business the way it
20:11
Speaker 8: needs to be. And the comment in response to that
20:14
Speaker 8: was our stood for a return to the past. Well,
20:17
Speaker 8: you know what, some things we need to return to.
20:20
Speaker 3: The past, like classical classical education.
20:24
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, Like like enforcing the law the way it
20:28
Speaker 8: should be, you know, stuff like that, like it you
20:32
Speaker 8: commit crime and after the year oh, I don't know,
20:35
Speaker 8: fifteenth or twenty at time committing the same crime. You know,
20:39
Speaker 8: maybe maybe we should have put you in jail sooner.
20:43
Speaker 8: Maybe we should stop letting people out on no bail
20:46
Speaker 8: or whatever whatever these ridiculous rules are, these things these
20:51
Speaker 8: activist judges come up with, I understand, trying to help
20:55
Speaker 8: people out and giving them a second chance, second, maybe third. Okay,
21:00
Speaker 8: that's that's one or two chances. That's not eighteen or
21:06
Speaker 8: I mean, I read a story the other day. Some
21:08
Speaker 8: guy had ninety one felony.
21:11
Speaker 3: That's hilarious. I am staring at that article. Joy McAllister.
21:16
Speaker 3: McAllister intoxicated when he ran a lead light, red light
21:19
Speaker 3: and the stolen car killing Elizabeth Flat sixty. He had
21:22
Speaker 3: ninety one priors ninety one.
21:25
Speaker 8: That's insane, and that's okay. There are people that think
21:31
Speaker 8: that that's all right.
21:32
Speaker 5: Come on now, you.
21:33
Speaker 8: Really don't believe that you want this system the way
21:37
Speaker 8: the left has it because you want to be able
21:40
Speaker 8: to get away with whatever you're trying to get away with.
21:43
Speaker 8: I mean, let's be honest with ourselves, folks. If we
21:46
Speaker 8: all lived our lives the way the Democrats want the
21:50
Speaker 8: government to run, it would be mass chaos, mass hysteria,
21:55
Speaker 8: everybody killing everybody the wild West. That scene at the
21:59
Speaker 8: corner of sixth and Walnut would be on virtually every corner.
22:02
Speaker 8: Come on, we really don't want that. That's you can't
22:05
Speaker 8: be serious people. And then to pivot real quick to
22:09
Speaker 8: the whole Trump blowing up drug dealers. Now I'm not
22:14
Speaker 8: okay with that, uh am. I okay with drug dealers
22:17
Speaker 8: getting blown up, well sure, but I'm not okay with
22:19
Speaker 8: the President of the United States authorizing and outside of
22:22
Speaker 8: our of our jurisdiction. So put it on paper, let's
22:26
Speaker 8: get it written and law, and then you follow the law.
22:29
Speaker 8: I mean that that's what makes us human beings.
22:32
Speaker 6: And not animals.
22:33
Speaker 8: If we have a code of law that we have
22:35
Speaker 8: written down, we all have to follow it. And if
22:38
Speaker 8: we're gonna stand there and tell everybody, hey, you guys,
22:41
Speaker 8: aren't you guys aren't law in order. We're trying to
22:44
Speaker 8: be following the rule, Well then you gotta follow it.
22:46
Speaker 8: You gotta do it. You gotta give show the example
22:48
Speaker 8: that you're gonna restrain yourself and you're gonna keep yourself
22:51
Speaker 8: within the boundaries of the law, because if you're not,
22:54
Speaker 8: then you're no better than anybody else. And I don't
22:56
Speaker 8: want to say that about a Republican or somebody who
23:00
Speaker 8: I'm mostly rooting for, but it's it's just wrong to
23:03
Speaker 8: do that. Yeah, it's not it's not okay, it's outside
23:07
Speaker 8: the law. But you know, as I've said before and
23:10
Speaker 8: many others, don't vote Rhino and don't vote Democrat. There's
23:14
Speaker 8: your solution. A great day.
23:16
Speaker 3: I appreciate that. Yeah, at minimum, and we may argue
23:19
Speaker 3: all day long about whether there is such a thing
23:22
Speaker 3: under our constitution called an authorization for use of military force,
23:26
Speaker 3: but at least that has the stripe of congressional approval.
23:31
Speaker 3: I think, at minimum, get an authorization for use of
23:34
Speaker 3: military force to go against the cartels and see if
23:37
Speaker 3: that stands up to the test of perhaps a legal challenge.
23:39
Speaker 3: But at least it wouldn't be the unilateral action of
23:41
Speaker 3: a lone man wielding the power of the American military
23:46
Speaker 3: at will and without any checks and balance. It's five
23:49
Speaker 3: thirty six right now, if you have K the talk station,
23:51
Speaker 3: plumb time plumbing, it's always plumbing done right. If I
23:54
Speaker 3: K the talk station five forty one, Happy Wednesday. Oh look,
24:00
Speaker 3: stack is stupid and right now, no phone calls, take
24:03
Speaker 3: phone calls. It's been a while since we did a
24:05
Speaker 3: stack is stupid. I enjoyed the conversation. I do enjoy
24:08
Speaker 3: doing a stack of stupid in five o'clock hours A
24:10
Speaker 3: good time to do it, to help wake up and well,
24:12
Speaker 3: thank God that you're not in it. Joe Strecker is
24:17
Speaker 3: not in the stack of stupid, never been there. Neither
24:19
Speaker 3: of I. But then again, as editorial director of the
24:22
Speaker 3: fifty five Carrese Morning show, that probably wouldn't read his
24:25
Speaker 3: story about myself. No, actually I would anyway. A police
24:28
Speaker 3: officer and his businessman businesswoman wife dad after a heat stroke,
24:34
Speaker 3: they got into an overheated hot tub while drunk and
24:37
Speaker 3: high on cocaine, celebrating their four year old daughter's birthday,
24:42
Speaker 3: No question about it. This is in Brazil. Military cop
24:44
Speaker 3: Jefferson Louis Tagaz thirty seven and his mail salon owning
24:48
Speaker 3: partner Anna Carolina Silva, forty one, found dead in a
24:51
Speaker 3: motel in Brazilian state of Santa Catarina in the earlier
24:56
Speaker 3: part of August. A couple spent the day celebrating their
24:59
Speaker 3: daughters birthday, drinking alcohol and doing lines of cocaine, then
25:03
Speaker 3: went to a nightclub and then checked into the Dallas
25:05
Speaker 3: motel about midnight. When they failed to pick up their daughter.
25:08
Speaker 3: The next day, relatives were a little alarmed. They reported
25:11
Speaker 3: the para missing and their bodies were found in the
25:14
Speaker 3: motel bathtub. Authority's ruled heat stroke caused death, but that
25:18
Speaker 3: the cocaine and alcohol in their blood probably dulled their
25:21
Speaker 3: reactions because they do the severe heat water in the
25:24
Speaker 3: bathtub one hundred and twenty two degrees fahrenheit. A space
25:27
Speaker 3: heater in the room also turned up to high according
25:30
Speaker 3: to investigators. Chief medical Ezambers said the cause of both
25:34
Speaker 3: this was exogenous poisoning, favoring the process of heat stroke
25:38
Speaker 3: with intense dehydration, thermal collapse culminating in organ failure and death.
25:43
Speaker 5: Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots.
25:46
Speaker 3: According to doctor Fernando Olivera de Franseeka, speaking with the paper,
25:50
Speaker 3: the use of cocaine, which indoses alone could cause torpor
25:55
Speaker 3: drowsiness even in an individual, combined with alcohol, which also
25:58
Speaker 3: causes in high such as torpor coma and drowsiness. Torpor
26:04
Speaker 3: apparently a state of physical dormancy similar to hibernation, where
26:07
Speaker 3: the body's metabolic rate slows considerably. Further examination of the
26:14
Speaker 3: hotel room, the couple's car security cameras carried out forensic
26:20
Speaker 3: or forensic reports were able to rule out carbon monoxide, drowning,
26:23
Speaker 3: electric shock, as well as anybody else being involved in
26:26
Speaker 3: the deaths, pointing to cocaine, alcohol, and ridiculously hot hot tub.
26:33
Speaker 3: It's rather strange. You got a four year old, see
26:38
Speaker 3: your leaver her apparently with relatives, and you go out
26:40
Speaker 3: and do drugs and alcohol. Well, dry alcohol is a drug.
26:43
Speaker 3: Go out and do drugs with your partner.
26:45
Speaker 7: You moron.
26:47
Speaker 3: Doesn't make any sense to me. Then again, I consider
26:50
Speaker 3: myself slightly more traditional. Nashville, Tennessee. A skydiving instructor now
26:55
Speaker 3: dead after falling from a plane without a parachute.
26:59
Speaker 2: Screws all the time, the world's in I perfect place.
27:02
Speaker 3: Indeed, just Tracker or Metro. Nashville Police SA A thirty
27:04
Speaker 3: five year old Justin Robert Fuller and a forty six
27:06
Speaker 3: year old sky having student got stuck on the side
27:10
Speaker 3: of the plane in a tandem rig. The late Fuller
27:14
Speaker 3: then became separated from the student and fell from the
27:17
Speaker 3: sky sans parachute. Student's emergency parachute deployed and he got
27:24
Speaker 3: lodged in a tree in a wooded area. Police found
27:26
Speaker 3: the forty six year old student and he was safely rescued. Fuller, however,
27:29
Speaker 3: found dead later the same day in a wooded area.
27:32
Speaker 3: FAA is leading this investigation. Jeez, I guess what the hell.
27:40
Speaker 3: I had a neighbor of mine who was in a
27:41
Speaker 3: late high school maybe early college age. He's it is solo.
27:45
Speaker 3: His first jump, the main choot didn't open, got tangled up,
27:51
Speaker 3: and I think about that. I think first time out.
27:53
Speaker 3: This is going back a long time. I guess they
27:55
Speaker 3: used to let people deploy by themselves back then. I
27:58
Speaker 3: think you have to do the tandem thing first. But
27:59
Speaker 3: what I know, I would never do it. But that
28:03
Speaker 3: would be a short soiling moment in time on my
28:07
Speaker 3: first jump if the main shoot got tangled up and
28:09
Speaker 3: I had to rely on the back of five forty
28:11
Speaker 3: five fifty five care See the Talk station Nation Wednesday
28:18
Speaker 3: take picture with Jack added in seven oh five Donovan
28:20
Speaker 3: and el Americans for Prosperity on Make Government Work campaign
28:24
Speaker 3: seven point thirty. Congressman Thomas Masse he'd eight oh five
28:27
Speaker 3: on the shutdown and what is the status of the
28:29
Speaker 3: Epstein file vote. Haven't been hearing about that much lately.
28:32
Speaker 3: We'll find out from Congressman Massy and then Judge Enmen
28:35
Speaker 3: of Paul Atano coming up at eight thirty. Let's see here.
28:40
Speaker 3: Back to the stupid stack, we go to Florida firefighter
28:44
Speaker 3: accused of stalking after she allegedly dumped seventy five and,
28:48
Speaker 3: according to the police report, quote possibly used close quote
28:54
Speaker 3: tampons under her ex boyfriends lawn after she learned he
28:57
Speaker 3: was dating a new woman. Do what coupled with just
29:01
Speaker 3: walk away? Felosa County Sheriff's office was contacted by a
29:06
Speaker 3: woman September thirtieth after she and her boyfriend woke up
29:08
Speaker 3: finding a pile of tampons on the front lawn that
29:12
Speaker 3: were quote stained red as if they were possibly used
29:15
Speaker 3: to close quote. Security camera footage they've got that showed
29:18
Speaker 3: a pickup truck driving past the house ten PM in
29:21
Speaker 3: late September. Woman allegedly sat in the truck bed until
29:24
Speaker 3: the traffic cleared, at which point she jumped out and
29:26
Speaker 3: threw the aforem engined seventy five tampons in the front yard.
29:30
Speaker 3: The couple asked why they believed who they believe was
29:32
Speaker 3: behind the crime. They said, well, Gabrielle Franz, she's a
29:36
Speaker 3: firefighter with the Orange County Fire Rescue and the ex
29:39
Speaker 3: girlfriend of the guy living in the home. They said
29:41
Speaker 3: it was likely her quote demonstrating she was unhappy close
29:44
Speaker 3: quote that the ex boyfriend was now dating somebody else.
29:48
Speaker 3: They claimed she previously made multiple social media ploths talking
29:52
Speaker 3: badly about them, and the fact that they are together
29:54
Speaker 3: now just didn't you have anything better to do with
29:57
Speaker 3: your life anyway? That's the weather in the stack is stupid.
30:05
Speaker 3: Thank you, Joe. See a Jay's got this morning. Jay,
30:09
Speaker 3: Happy Wednesday, Welcome to the show.
30:13
Speaker 4: Hey, happy eighth day of independence from federal government. Brian,
30:17
Speaker 4: I ran the math for you this morning, and we
30:21
Speaker 4: are up to thirty seven billion dollars of discretionary spending
30:26
Speaker 4: being saved. And again the way I've come up with
30:30
Speaker 4: that number, everybody's free to check my math. Take one
30:33
Speaker 4: point seven trillion, that's the annual discretionary spending. Divide that
30:37
Speaker 4: by three hundred and sixty five, then multiply that by
30:41
Speaker 4: how many days, like times eight, and you come up
30:44
Speaker 4: with that thirty seven billion.
30:46
Speaker 8: I heard Mike Johnson.
30:47
Speaker 4: I think it was him yesterday, whining about the Democrats
30:51
Speaker 4: have to end this shutdown, to end the suffering of
30:54
Speaker 4: the American people.
30:56
Speaker 8: And I.
30:58
Speaker 4: Wanted to call and just check on you, my brother,
31:01
Speaker 4: to say if you're how you're weathering the storm with
31:03
Speaker 4: this government shut down, and.
31:06
Speaker 2: You hear me laughing, are you doing okay?
31:08
Speaker 3: I'll just find over the Thomas household. I have my life.
31:14
Speaker 7: He looks a car off or is he acting? Is
31:16
Speaker 7: he off today?
31:17
Speaker 6: No?
31:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been. I pulled around the corner of the
31:19
Speaker 3: parking garage every single day before I see his parking space.
31:22
Speaker 3: I have this little little hint of worry that I'm
31:25
Speaker 3: gonna come around the corner and his car is not
31:27
Speaker 3: going to be there, at which point I will freak out.
31:30
Speaker 3: Unless he's told me ahead of the time, he's not
31:31
Speaker 3: gonna be a bit. No, it was there, parked in
31:33
Speaker 3: the exact same spot, in the exact same position, and
31:35
Speaker 3: I'm staring at the top of his melon through my
31:37
Speaker 3: video screen. He looks like he's in perfectly good health
31:40
Speaker 3: and in good order.
31:42
Speaker 7: I don't I don't understand that at all.
31:43
Speaker 4: I don't know how you guys just whether this this
31:47
Speaker 4: this withering attack and that you know, this suffering is
31:49
Speaker 4: going on, but yeah, there's no suffering. And that's what
31:54
Speaker 4: I want everybody to to realize is this government. These
31:57
Speaker 4: full time jobs don't need to be full time job.
32:00
Speaker 4: The people that want them to be full time jobs
32:02
Speaker 4: are in those full time jobs. And to Tom's point,
32:05
Speaker 4: you know some things, it would be nice if we
32:07
Speaker 4: can go back. Let's go back to the debate on Obamacare.
32:12
Speaker 4: When it first came around and we first had a
32:14
Speaker 4: chance to get rid of it, the discussion was how
32:17
Speaker 4: do we repeal it? And then later on it was, well,
32:21
Speaker 4: how you know we're going to pass the Republican this
32:24
Speaker 4: is another Republican victory. Then it changed to not just
32:27
Speaker 4: repeal it, it was repeal and replace. And now we
32:30
Speaker 4: can't even have done that. Now we can't do anything
32:33
Speaker 4: but continue to fund more of it and hand more
32:36
Speaker 4: of the healthcare over to the Republican Or did the
32:39
Speaker 4: Democrats to the federal government and give them just a
32:43
Speaker 4: larger and larger and larger share of the means of
32:46
Speaker 4: production in this case healthcare.
32:48
Speaker 3: Right, And they want this as a mechanism to get
32:51
Speaker 3: one size fits all, basically Medicaid for all. It's been
32:54
Speaker 3: but they're practically on records saying exactly that. That was
32:57
Speaker 3: the point of waving the premiums. If you make something
32:59
Speaker 3: look free when it truly isn't. But if you make
33:02
Speaker 3: it look free, you're going to increase the number of
33:03
Speaker 3: people on the ranks. And so then they doubled it
33:06
Speaker 3: with the COVID nineteen emergency as a pretext. That's what
33:09
Speaker 3: gave you gave rise to the premium waivers. It doubled
33:12
Speaker 3: the rolls on the on the Obamacare exchange and all
33:16
Speaker 3: those people. Yeah, and they want them.
33:18
Speaker 4: To day everything they do, Convince Everett Ellison, everything they
33:25
Speaker 4: do looks like it sounds like it is.
33:28
Speaker 7: Few slaves.
33:29
Speaker 4: Get back on your get back on the plantation. You
33:33
Speaker 4: give us all of your power, all of your authority.
33:35
Speaker 4: Forget about what the constitution says, these aren't God given rights,
33:39
Speaker 4: and we'll take care of you if you're good slaves.
33:42
Speaker 4: And that's the difference again. I want to keep making
33:45
Speaker 4: that point between a liberal and a conservative, or to
33:49
Speaker 4: your point, a libertarian. A libertarian conservative would say, I
33:55
Speaker 4: don't want I'm not going to be a slave. I'm
33:57
Speaker 4: a citizen. You work for me, I don't work for you,
34:01
Speaker 4: not a slave. I'm a citizen and I want minimal
34:04
Speaker 4: amount of you in my life. I'll make my own choices.
34:07
Speaker 4: I can take the two hours and call convercency. I
34:10
Speaker 4: can have that conversation and very quickly I can figure
34:13
Speaker 4: out that there are many options better than Obamacare and
34:17
Speaker 4: have somebody put it there in black and white in
34:19
Speaker 4: front of me. Or I can sit there and watch
34:21
Speaker 4: TV and do nothing and wait for somebody to take
34:24
Speaker 4: care of me, because I'll be a slave. And that's
34:27
Speaker 4: what it comes down to. So whatever you do, don't
34:29
Speaker 4: vote Democrat and don't vote Rhino.
34:32
Speaker 3: There you have it. Then the Rhinos are the ones
34:33
Speaker 3: that will capitulate. And they've already been talking about a
34:36
Speaker 3: one year extension on the premium waivers. That's a step
34:40
Speaker 3: in the wrong direction. I say, hold fast in your position.
34:42
Speaker 3: You're in the right position. Thanks very much, Jay, Always,
34:45
Speaker 3: I appreciate hearing from you. Stick around. We've got more
34:47
Speaker 3: to talk about in the six o'clock hour, and I
34:49
Speaker 3: love hearing from you, whoever you are. I want three seven, four,
34:52
Speaker 3: nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eight two three
34:54
Speaker 3: talk stick around today.
34:56
Speaker 1: It's tough headlines coming up at the top of the
34:59
Speaker 1: hour changes every minute.
35:01
Speaker 3: Fifty five krz. The talk station.
35:05
Speaker 5: Chicago is a hell hall right now, Free tealthcare, the
35:08
Speaker 5: illegal aliens listen here.
35:10
Speaker 3: Gotland is on fire, no everything.
35:12
Speaker 7: You never know what's going to happen.
35:13
Speaker 3: Fifty five krz the talk station, It's six six to
35:18
Speaker 3: five KRCD talk station. Happy Wednesday by Thomas looking forward
35:24
Speaker 3: to seven o'clock hour, Fast forward one hour for the
35:27
Speaker 3: Big Picture with Jack added an interesting uh subject matter
35:30
Speaker 3: for his commentary today the Communist NFL can't wait to
35:35
Speaker 3: hear Jack's words on that, and filed by Donald and
35:37
Speaker 3: Neil from Americans for Prosperity launching a new campaign Make
35:41
Speaker 3: Government Work. There's a lot of comedy built into that, Donovan.
35:46
Speaker 3: I just have to point that out ahead of time. Anyway,
35:49
Speaker 3: it sounds like an uphill challenge as up for the
35:51
Speaker 3: challeng Congressman Miss Matthew Fast eight oh five talk about
35:54
Speaker 3: shutdown and the mystery of where in the hell is
35:57
Speaker 3: the conversation on Epstein the Epstein's files vote, We'll go
36:00
Speaker 3: over with the congress Nassy. I just find it rather well.
36:03
Speaker 3: It's not surprising that that sort of disappeared from mainstream media.
36:06
Speaker 3: Reporting or any reporting on that. And here's Brian Thomas
36:10
Speaker 3: wondering what the hell's wrong with the Trump administration and
36:12
Speaker 3: why they continue to want to hide these files after
36:14
Speaker 3: saying and telling us and campaigning on the fact that
36:16
Speaker 3: they'd be released. A little bit of a letdown on
36:18
Speaker 3: that one. I think I share Congressman Nassy's concerns and that,
36:21
Speaker 3: and that's why I'm hoping he moves forward with a vote,
36:23
Speaker 3: an opportunity that Democrats had for four years under the
36:26
Speaker 3: Biden administration, which they didn't exercise. Judge Ennita Politano at
36:29
Speaker 3: eight thirty when presidents kill. Of course, that will be
36:34
Speaker 3: about the launching of missile strikes against cartels, and we'll
36:41
Speaker 3: also talk about this new Justice Department of opinion from
36:44
Speaker 3: the Office of Legal Counsel, which tells the Trump administration
36:48
Speaker 3: that he has the authority, based upon the imminent threat
36:55
Speaker 3: that they pose, he has the authority to launch military
36:58
Speaker 3: operations against them. I am extraordinarily troubled by that. Going
37:04
Speaker 3: back to the point, at least at minimum, and I
37:06
Speaker 3: would argue that authorizations for use of military force are
37:09
Speaker 3: not quite a declaration of war and not within the Constitution.
37:13
Speaker 3: But at minimum and authorization for use of military force
37:16
Speaker 3: should be required when we're using military force, some checks
37:18
Speaker 3: and balances. I just envision a new administration, perhaps under
37:23
Speaker 3: the Democrat side of the equation, And are you going
37:26
Speaker 3: to be comfortable with them picking and choosing what represents
37:29
Speaker 3: an eminent threat? How do you define that anyway? I mean,
37:32
Speaker 3: you can look up the definition of eminine. But I
37:37
Speaker 3: puzzle over how a tiny boat, eleven foot boat, fifteen
37:40
Speaker 3: foot boat, twenty foot boat, let's say, a fifty foot
37:42
Speaker 3: boat going ten to fifteen knots max. In miles thousands
37:48
Speaker 3: of miles away, how that could in any way, shape
37:50
Speaker 3: or form, constitute an imminent threat. And they're also talking
37:53
Speaker 3: about starting to launch strikes in Venezuela in side the country. Hey, listen,
38:04
Speaker 3: and Trump is not the only one who have done this.
38:05
Speaker 3: Obama did it, the Bush, Bush did it. Trump did
38:09
Speaker 3: in his first administration. Biden launched these unilateral missile strikes.
38:13
Speaker 3: It's unchecked military power in the hands of one person.
38:20
Speaker 3: That is not what I read in my constitution five one, three, seven,
38:23
Speaker 3: four nine, fifty five hundred, eight hundred eight two three ten,
38:26
Speaker 3: five fifty on eight and t phones. Yes, the National
38:28
Speaker 3: Guard has deployed two hundred troops Texas National Guard. Two
38:31
Speaker 3: hundred them arrived in Illinois Chicago over the objections of
38:35
Speaker 3: of course the mayor and the governor shout up in
38:38
Speaker 3: Illinois yesterday to protect federal personnel and property. It's a
38:44
Speaker 3: good point to emphasize why are they there. They're not
38:47
Speaker 3: there enforcing local laws. How the police department is not
38:50
Speaker 3: even enforcing local laws. It is battery. It is a
38:53
Speaker 3: state crime to beat up a federal officer. No, it's
38:56
Speaker 3: a federal crime as well. But they do an obligation
38:59
Speaker 3: to people in their juryis diction. Do prosecute them, arrest
39:01
Speaker 3: them for breaking the law. Don't look for help from
39:05
Speaker 3: the Chicago police department under the current governor and mayor
39:08
Speaker 3: there anyway. Pentagon officials said the guardsmen were motialized for
39:11
Speaker 3: a sixty day period, of course, subject to legal challenges
39:15
Speaker 3: which are inevitable. They said, the troops arrived in Illinois
39:18
Speaker 3: in support of Federal Protection Mission initial cap on that
39:22
Speaker 3: to protect federal functions, personnel, and property, very limited in scope.
39:26
Speaker 3: They have the right to do that. Department of Homeland
39:30
Speaker 3: Security Secretary Christie no announced over the weekend that additional
39:34
Speaker 3: special operations personnel would in fact be deployed to Illinois
39:37
Speaker 3: in spite of the fact that the lawsuit in Portland
39:39
Speaker 3: didn't go on the side of the federal government. Brandon Johnson,
39:45
Speaker 3: the mayor of Chicago, said yesterday he believes the deployment
39:48
Speaker 3: is illegal, unconstitutional, dangerous, and wrong. Of course, we had
39:52
Speaker 3: the declaration on Monday from the mayor declaring ice free zones,
39:56
Speaker 3: which prohibit federal immigration agents from using city owned proper
40:00
Speaker 3: for immigration enforcement operations. That just throws a logistical hurdle
40:03
Speaker 3: in their direction. You can't park on city property. Whether
40:08
Speaker 3: or not that's enforceable or lawful remains to be seen,
40:10
Speaker 3: and that, of course is going to have to be
40:12
Speaker 3: worked out in the court system as well. Johnson in
40:15
Speaker 3: a news conference earlier this week, the Trump administration must
40:18
Speaker 3: end the war on Chicago.
40:22
Speaker 5: Is that what this is.
40:24
Speaker 3: The trouble administration must end this war against Americans. That's
40:28
Speaker 3: what this is. The trumble administration must end its attempt
40:31
Speaker 3: to dismantle our democracy. You can't get a statement from
40:34
Speaker 3: a Democrat that doesn't include that one anymore. How is
40:37
Speaker 3: this a threat of democracy?
40:39
Speaker 2: Remember who they're.
40:39
Speaker 3: Going after and pivot over to Los Angeles. Lots of
40:46
Speaker 3: objections to the federal government going in and arresting illegal immigrants,
40:50
Speaker 3: the criminal element among them. Bad. We can't have that here.
40:54
Speaker 3: That is ver Boden. We didn't ask for your presence here.
40:57
Speaker 3: Get the hell out. Oh but what about this one.
41:00
Speaker 3: I suppose it just depends on what type of operation
41:02
Speaker 3: they are working on, whether or not local law enforcement
41:05
Speaker 3: will work with the Feds, And in fact they do.
41:09
Speaker 3: Just announce federal and local law enforcement officers in Los
41:15
Speaker 3: Angeles arrested fourteen suspected leaders of the Rancho San Pedro gang.
41:20
Speaker 3: There's one of those. Just yesterday happened in Los Angeles.
41:23
Speaker 3: This is following a year's long investigation in what the
41:26
Speaker 3: FBI called one of the most violent street crews in
41:29
Speaker 3: southern California, as well as being a known arm of
41:33
Speaker 3: the Mexican mafia Cash Bettel. The era of cartels operating
41:38
Speaker 3: freely in America is over. Every day the FBI and
41:41
Speaker 3: our partners in this case, local law enforcement LAPD are
41:48
Speaker 3: dismantling violent networks at the source, stripping their resources, taking
41:52
Speaker 3: criminals off the street, and saving American lives. Not the
41:55
Speaker 3: emphasis I choose occasionally if you're living in LA Do
41:58
Speaker 3: you want the show San Pedro gang engaging in criminal
42:02
Speaker 3: activity in your backyard? Of course you don't. You want
42:08
Speaker 3: the Los Angeles Police Department and any other law enforcement
42:11
Speaker 3: agency to round them up and prosecuting for their crimes.
42:15
Speaker 3: That seems logical and reasonable, investigators said, the PROB uncovered
42:20
Speaker 3: links between the Rancho San Pedro and the Sineloa Cartel,
42:24
Speaker 3: as well as something called the Thirteenth Street Gang, which
42:26
Speaker 3: our groups is described in the reporting, which worked together
42:30
Speaker 3: to distribute methamphetamine, fentanyl, and heroin all around southern California,
42:34
Speaker 3: and of course all the criminal activity, including yes, murders
42:36
Speaker 3: that go along with that. They said. The takedown hit
42:40
Speaker 3: a gang that has five hundred members approximately across six
42:44
Speaker 3: cliques that they say, pay in their word, taxes to
42:49
Speaker 3: Mexican mafia bosses. So what does this sound like a
42:52
Speaker 3: coordinated activity involving committing crimes?
42:57
Speaker 5: Huh?
43:00
Speaker 3: Just please, Chief Jim McDonald, praise the Harbor Division detectives
43:03
Speaker 3: for building a case step by step look and working
43:06
Speaker 3: with the federal authorities to attack these dangerous gangs. And
43:10
Speaker 3: here it is lo and behold the federal complaint charges
43:15
Speaker 3: thirty defendants under RICO racketeer influence corrupt organizations. And I've
43:20
Speaker 3: been claiming this and pointing this out for a long
43:23
Speaker 3: long time. A couple of people or more working together
43:26
Speaker 3: in concert to commit court law of violating the law.
43:31
Speaker 3: That's rico. It's called organized crime. And a lot of
43:35
Speaker 3: organizations out there may be staring at RICO case in
43:38
Speaker 3: the face, like for example, Antifa and those huge, multi
43:42
Speaker 3: billionaire funded organizations that fuel and perhaps will find out
43:45
Speaker 3: when the investigation's over and maybe some indictments are handed
43:48
Speaker 3: down coordinate criminal activity on the streets of our country.
43:53
Speaker 3: So you got a RICO charge against this. Acting US
43:57
Speaker 3: Attorney Bill Asali in a statement, the case shows the
44:01
Speaker 3: power of partnerships. California Attorney General Robin Bonta said the
44:09
Speaker 3: raids took illegal weapons and dangerous drugs off the streets.
44:12
Speaker 3: So local law enforcement, working hand in hand with federal
44:17
Speaker 3: law enforcement, were successful in bringing federal charges against an
44:20
Speaker 3: extraordinarily dangerous gang. And isn't that really boiled down kind
44:26
Speaker 3: of what ICE agents are doing. Every day we read
44:29
Speaker 3: of arrest involving gang members who are in our country illegally,
44:33
Speaker 3: gang members with criminal records, gang members who are continuing
44:38
Speaker 3: to distribute fentanyl and other drugs, and of course wiel
44:41
Speaker 3: threats of violence in various neighborhoods across this country. And
44:48
Speaker 3: there they are in the streets protesting that kind of
44:51
Speaker 3: law enforcement, law enforcement that gets bad people off the
44:54
Speaker 3: streets and improves the quality of neighborhoods. Is this a
44:57
Speaker 3: war on Chicago or are they waging a war against
45:02
Speaker 3: those who are literally waging a war on Chicago. I'm
45:05
Speaker 3: gonna go with the latter. Five one three, seven, eight
45:10
Speaker 3: two three talk. Feel free to call and chime in
45:12
Speaker 3: more to talk about beyond the phone calls and another
45:14
Speaker 3: word five one three, seven fifty five hundred eighty two
45:18
Speaker 3: to three talk found five fifty on eighth and G phones.
45:22
Speaker 3: After you said people were people were better at critical thinking,
45:25
Speaker 3: they could see through the some of the nonsense, and
45:27
Speaker 3: maybe people do. I still stay in Chicago on this one.
45:31
Speaker 3: You got Governor Pritzker. Earlier this week. Pritzker said there's been,
45:35
Speaker 3: in his words, unconstitutional invasion of Illinois by the federal
45:39
Speaker 3: government for weeks now. Donald Trump, Christine nom and Gregory
45:42
Speaker 3: Bovino have brought their militarized CBP and ICE agents to
45:46
Speaker 3: the streets of Chicago to cause violence and chaos in
45:52
Speaker 3: the city. Oh, is that what they're doing. That's what
45:54
Speaker 3: it's all about.
45:57
Speaker 5: Uh.
45:58
Speaker 3: Countering that message, referring to Pritzker's comments as a schmorgasboard
46:05
Speaker 3: of lies, they issued a retort on that. So here's
46:13
Speaker 3: further to Pritzker's statements. President Trump has the authority nder
46:19
Speaker 3: the Constitution to devoid troops wherever they're stationed to defend
46:23
Speaker 3: the federal facilities from attacks. That's what the DHS said
46:27
Speaker 3: in response to Pritzker's first claim on the list, whether
46:29
Speaker 3: it's the ice facility in Broadview or the courthouse in Portland,
46:32
Speaker 3: we will defend federal property wherever they're under siege. Pritsker
46:37
Speaker 3: in his appearance on CNN on Monday. People are getting detained,
46:40
Speaker 3: they're getting arrested US citizens. They did this when they
46:44
Speaker 3: raided the building in the middle of the night on
46:45
Speaker 3: the South Shore, one hundred and thirty people. They were
46:47
Speaker 3: emptied out of this building. They were going after a
46:50
Speaker 3: few gang members, and instead they broke windows, they broke
46:53
Speaker 3: down doors, and they ransacked the place. They're the ones
46:55
Speaker 3: that are making it a war zone. I butli believe
46:58
Speaker 3: it is because they were resisting and if your whole
47:00
Speaker 3: up at a building, law enforcement tends to do stuff
47:02
Speaker 3: like that. But DHS, in response to that nonsense, said,
47:06
Speaker 3: the following law enforcement conducted a targeted operation at an
47:10
Speaker 3: apartment building in South Shore Community, Chicago. Fair enough, this operation,
47:15
Speaker 3: conducted by the CBPFBI and the ATF, resulted in the
47:17
Speaker 3: arrest of thirty seven illegal aliens from countries like Venezuela, Mexico, Columbia, Nigeria,
47:24
Speaker 3: among them Trey the Aragua gang members and violent criminals,
47:29
Speaker 3: the ones that they were initially going after. DHS has
47:32
Speaker 3: routinely debunked the absurd claim that the DHS is targeting
47:36
Speaker 3: US citizens during ICE operations. ICE does not arrest or
47:41
Speaker 3: deport US citizens. Really, what about all the reports of
47:45
Speaker 3: US citizens being arrested. Here's the follow up point to
47:47
Speaker 3: that any US citizen arrested. Citizens arrested are because of
47:54
Speaker 3: obstructing or assaulting law enforcement. What's going on, protests are
47:59
Speaker 3: going on, they kind to obstruct an interfere with the
48:01
Speaker 3: FEDS doing the business of rounding up gang members and
48:04
Speaker 3: criminals among the illegal immigrant community. That's what they're doing.
48:11
Speaker 3: So if you interfere, you're gonna get arrested. Oh my god,
48:13
Speaker 3: a US citizen's getting caught up in the ice raids.
48:16
Speaker 3: They're going after US citizens. Well, you got to look
48:18
Speaker 3: beyond the veneer of that blanket statement to see why
48:21
Speaker 3: they were arrested in the first place. Illinois Governor earlier
48:27
Speaker 3: this week, on September twelfth, I shot and killed a
48:30
Speaker 3: man of Franklin, part, a nearby suburb of Chicago. His
48:32
Speaker 3: name was Silverio. The Legas Gonzalez reports say that he
48:36
Speaker 3: just had dropped off his kids at a daycare and
48:39
Speaker 3: was headed to work. That's Governor Pritzker's take on it.
48:43
Speaker 3: DHS countered Gonzales was an illegal alien who, when law
48:48
Speaker 3: enforcement ordered him to stop his car, instead drove his
48:51
Speaker 3: car at the officers. One of the ice officers was
48:53
Speaker 3: hit by the car and dragged a significant distance. Fearing
48:56
Speaker 3: for his own life in the broader public safety, the
48:59
Speaker 3: officer fired as well, and despite his injuries, the officer
49:02
Speaker 3: and his partner immediately started administering emergency medical care to
49:05
Speaker 3: the illegal alien, who was pronounced dead. The Legas Gonzalez,
49:09
Speaker 3: who was the target of the operation, was a criminal, criminal,
49:12
Speaker 3: illegal alien with the history of reckless driving and further
49:15
Speaker 3: reckless driving as illustrated by the fact that he drove
49:18
Speaker 3: directly at officers, resulting in them needing to defend themselves.
49:22
Speaker 3: See but if you just live in an echo chamber,
49:27
Speaker 3: you listen only what Governor Pritzker is saying, you think
49:29
Speaker 3: that the world has fallen apart. There's a counter narrative.
49:35
Speaker 3: Factor it into the equation before drawing your conclusion. Six
49:38
Speaker 3: twenty five fifty five KRS DE Talk station Local stories
49:41
Speaker 3: coming up six point thirty at fifty five KRC the
49:49
Speaker 3: talk station. Dust off your skull ring CD and play

Speaker 3: One person was shot and left with non life threatening injuries.
50:16
Speaker 3: Police said the victim uncooperative with officers. Although they spelled
50:21
Speaker 3: his name wrong, we all knew who FOP President Ken
50:24
Speaker 3: Cober is. He said there was some kind of altercation.
50:28
Speaker 3: Two people, both armed with guns, shot at each other.
50:31
Speaker 3: Adults have been arrested. Two adults have been arrested in
50:33
Speaker 3: connection with the incident, in charge with felonious assault. Nothing
50:36
Speaker 3: to see here, Interestingly enough, it's all captured on video.
50:43
Speaker 2: We go.
50:43
Speaker 3: I've got a woman dead in a suspect arrested for
50:46
Speaker 3: murder since a police said Rachel Counts, twenty three years old,
50:49

51:19
Speaker 3: or I think I always can default with crime Stoppers
51:22
Speaker 3: at three five to two thirty forty help them solve
51:25
Speaker 3: that crime. This is a sad one we got. A
51:29
Speaker 3: molar high school student has died after being hospitalized after
51:32
Speaker 3: a hit and run crash that happened over the weekend.
51:34
Speaker 3: According to a family member, fifteen year old Dylan Strahan
51:38
Speaker 3: passed away. According the announcement from the family, Dylan was
51:42
Speaker 3: and always will be the most strongest and kindest and
51:43
Speaker 3: selfless human out there. And he was, and he was
51:47
Speaker 3: and still will do amazing things for this world. As
51:50
Speaker 3: we as a family with multiple struggles throughout life, genuinely
51:53
Speaker 3: appreciate the way the community came together to support us.
51:56
Speaker 3: Thank you as the least I can say to everyone
51:58
Speaker 3: who has supported us. Can you imagine being a parent
52:02
Speaker 3: in that situation? A courting About one pm on Sunday,
52:04
Speaker 3: Corn Police were called to the area of Coal Rain
52:06
Speaker 3: Road and Day Road who reported accident. Officers arrived at
52:12
Speaker 3: the scene to find the teen unconscious but breathing. The
52:14
Speaker 3: teen appeared to be riding a bike when he was
52:16
Speaker 3: hit by a vehicle. Corn Township Department of Fire and
52:20
Speaker 3: Ems took the fifteen year old to UC Medical Center.
52:23
Speaker 3: A township spokesperson said the teen had life threatening injuries

Speaker 3: clearly ten pm Sunday, almost twenty four hours after the
52:29
Speaker 3: teen was hit, the vehicle that crashed into him was found.
52:33
Speaker 3: Driver of the vehicle identified, but the township spokesperson did
52:36
Speaker 3: not release the name. Yet no other information has been
52:38
Speaker 3: released corner the spokesperson were conducting a thorough investigation into
52:41
Speaker 3: all factors that may have contributed to this awful accident.
52:45
Speaker 3: Prayers with the family during this extremely difficult time. If
52:47
Speaker 3: you have any information, Coal Rain Police would love to
52:50
Speaker 3: hear from you on that five one, three, three two
52:52
Speaker 3: one twenty six seventy seven Coal Rain Police. And of
52:55
Speaker 3: course there is a go fundme page if you want
52:58
Speaker 3: to support the family on that. Well, it's coming our
53:00
Speaker 3: way and it's going to bring about a lot of chaos. Finally,
53:04
Speaker 3: here after how many presidents campaigned to build or redo
53:07
Speaker 3: the Brent spenz Bridge, O DOT told council that the
53:11
Speaker 3: construction of the three point six billion dollar Brandspenz Bridge
53:16
Speaker 3: Quarto projects is going to begin in early twenty twenty six.
53:20
Speaker 3: The day has finally come, O DOT and sincinn Department
53:22
Speaker 3: of Transportation and Engineering gave council members a new timeline.
53:29
Speaker 3: O DOT to Tommy Ardold said, it's honestly a very
53:31
Speaker 3: rare thing in the nation. There aren't many double decker
53:33
Speaker 3: bridges around. There aren't that many cable bridges. Although it's
53:36
Speaker 3: kind of state of the art bridge design, and so
53:39
Speaker 3: it's going to be exciting thing to see when we
53:40
Speaker 3: ultimately see it. They said. The work schedule is being
53:43
Speaker 3: developed now. The schedule is being developed now interesting. I'll
53:48
Speaker 3: give props to Mike Show reporting Fox nineteen. The bridge
53:50
Speaker 3: design will be sixty percent complete by this fall. They
53:58
Speaker 3: haven't even completed the design they're supposed to. Okay, anyway,
54:03
Speaker 3: Arnold said, it's going to be interesting to get the
54:05
Speaker 3: work going, lots of changes. Is going to be just
54:07
Speaker 3: a heapload of cranes down there. I get a kick
54:11
Speaker 3: out of this. Not everyone on board with a three
54:13
Speaker 3: point six billion dollar project, one single loan Hamilin County resident.
54:19
Speaker 3: They found a guy named Bob Hyland who doesn't like
54:21
Speaker 3: the idea. We have air pollution in the city of
54:23
Speaker 3: Cincinnati that is very damaging to human health, especially for
54:26
Speaker 3: the black and brown folks who live in the West
54:27
Speaker 3: End in Queen's Gate. Hey, Joe, doesn't Corey Bowman live
54:30
Speaker 3: in the West End? Yeah? Uh, he's a white guy,
54:36
Speaker 3: isn't he. Oh the air pollution doesn't affect him.
54:41
Speaker 5: Oh?
54:43
Speaker 3: I didn't know that, Hm. Is he like a bubble boy? Anyway?
54:49
Speaker 3: He went on to say so, the Department of Transportation
54:51
Speaker 3: doubling down on highway lane miles is going to further
54:54
Speaker 3: the amount of pollution in those communities. Breathe deep the
54:59
Speaker 3: air it flows from the atmosphere around China or La.
55:05
Speaker 3: This is an opportunity to provide feedback on design and
55:08
Speaker 3: progress of the bridge. It's reported oh DOT will answer
55:11
Speaker 3: questions on October twenty first and October twenty third at
55:14
Speaker 3: Longworth Hall. So if you have any questions, show up
55:19
Speaker 3: and make your voice heard. Six thirty five right now.
55:22
Speaker 3: Should make your voice heard right here in the morning
55:23
Speaker 3: showfield at six forty right now. If you five k
55:29
Speaker 3: CD talk station, have a Wednesday, maybe nobody wants to
55:36
Speaker 3: talk to me today. If you do five one, three, seven, four,
55:38
Speaker 3: nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three talk. Uh,
55:41
Speaker 3: you know it's just last week. I'm you were told
55:45
Speaker 3: it was coming Officer Management Budget Director along with Donald Trump.
55:49
Speaker 3: We're talking about layoffs. Carolyn levi Att, the White House
55:52
Speaker 3: Press Secretary, came out and said layoffs were eminent, pointing
55:56
Speaker 3: out that well, because the Democrats shut down the government,
55:58
Speaker 3: the President has directed the Cabinet, the Office Management Budget
56:01
Speaker 3: and Working with agencies across the board to identify where
56:04
Speaker 3: cuts can be made, and we believe that layoffs are eminent.
56:07
Speaker 3: So there you were told about that just recently and
56:09
Speaker 3: yesterday during a press conference, which was really comical, Donald
56:14
Speaker 3: Trump with the Canadian Prime Minister and they're talking about
56:16
Speaker 3: tariffs and all the report I just heard it on
56:19
Speaker 3: the radio. All the reporters just scream and questions all
56:22
Speaker 3: over the top of each other, at the top of
56:23
Speaker 3: their lungs. Trump takes every opportunity to just.
56:26
Speaker 2: Go on and on and on and on.
56:28
Speaker 3: He rambled off a litany of all his accomplishments. He
56:32
Speaker 3: went back to the election and talk about the landslide.
56:34
Speaker 3: He talked about all the economic improvements, the trillions of
56:38
Speaker 3: dollars have been invested since he took office, just at
56:41
Speaker 3: every turn, which I kind of found comical. That's not
56:46
Speaker 3: my sort of style, but that's this is Donald Trump.
56:49
Speaker 3: So of course, the conversation pivoted over to the impending
56:54
Speaker 3: firings alluded to by the OMB, and the Press secretary
57:01
Speaker 3: told reporters, well, if the government shutdown continues, that those
57:07
Speaker 3: firings will be announced in the next four or five days.
57:11
Speaker 3: One reporter who was able to get a question out
57:13
Speaker 3: there that actually Trump hurt. How many permanent jobs are
57:16
Speaker 3: you talking about eliminating?
57:20
Speaker 1: Uh?
57:20
Speaker 3: His a response, I'll be able to tell you that
57:22
Speaker 3: in four or five days. If this keeps going on
57:24
Speaker 3: the shutdown, it will be substantial and a lot of
57:27
Speaker 3: those jobs will never come back. You're going to have
57:29
Speaker 3: a lot closer to a balanced budget. When asked if
57:32
Speaker 3: he'd identified specific programs or people who wanted to eliminate,
57:35
Speaker 3: he said, oh, sure, we have a lot. I'm not
57:38
Speaker 3: going to tell you yet, but we'll be announcing it
57:42
Speaker 3: pretty soon. But we have a lot of things that
57:44
Speaker 3: we are going to eliminate and permanently eliminate. Said, you know,
57:48
Speaker 3: one of the things that we have some advantage, you
57:50
Speaker 3: could say, but because of the shutdown, which I think
57:55
Speaker 3: may made a big mistake, we're able to take out
57:57
Speaker 3: billions and billions of dollars of waste fraud and they've
58:01
Speaker 3: handed it, you know, to us on a silver platter.
58:03
Speaker 3: There's a lot of truth built into that. Well, if
58:07
Speaker 3: I'm a comical, I'm just asking Joe. I couldn't remember
58:09
Speaker 3: which day, the eighteenth. Apparently there this big Democrat rally.
58:12
Speaker 3: They're gonna get everybody out there. Of course, I'm sure
58:14
Speaker 3: the billionaires are going to coordinate an effort pay protesters
58:17
Speaker 3: to show up. I'm sure there will be a massive
58:20
Speaker 3: showing of thousands of people demanding that they continue. These
58:23
Speaker 3: premium discounts. Are basically handing over Obamacare quote unquote for free,
58:27
Speaker 3: which means you and I are paying for it. Then
58:29
Speaker 3: one extension of these COVID nineteen relief was what it
58:35
Speaker 3: was all about, which doesn't exist anymore. But if Trump
58:38
Speaker 3: announces the firings, and it will be subject to legal challenge,
58:42
Speaker 3: I will acknowledge that. But if he announces all these
58:45
Speaker 3: people being fired within four or five days, I'm just
58:49
Speaker 3: wondering how the Democrats are going to react, because of
58:51
Speaker 3: course he's beating them to the punch. I mean, to
58:56
Speaker 3: extent their protest bears any fruit, and it causes some
58:59
Speaker 3: Republics to perhaps waiver in their refusal to extend these
59:04
Speaker 3: premium supplements. That's one thing. But if Trump gets out
59:08
Speaker 3: in front of it and fires these people, perhaps they
59:10
Speaker 3: will have no ability to come back to work. That'll
59:13
Speaker 3: knock the Democrats back. I mean, we are talking about
59:16
Speaker 3: draining the swamp here, so popcorn out. We'll see how
59:21
Speaker 3: the strategy plays out. I still say the Republicans are
59:24
Speaker 3: on the winning side. But all of these rumblings about
59:27
Speaker 3: perhaps some Republicans wavering again. I read an article earlier
59:31
Speaker 3: this morning suggesting that maybe they are willing to extend
59:35
Speaker 3: the premium supplements for another year. Democrats not yet interested
59:41
Speaker 3: in that. They want them permanently extended. But if you
59:45
Speaker 3: back and you go ahead and extend them for another year,
59:47
Speaker 3: I'm just wondering what that buys you. Yes, it does.
59:49
Speaker 3: It buys you another conversation along the exact same lines
59:53
Speaker 3: next year, and yet another deadline built into legislation fast approaches,
59:59
Speaker 3: much like the Democrats language extending these supplements only till
1:00:03
Speaker 3: the end of this calendar year. They're the ones that
1:00:05
Speaker 3: set him up for this. Apparently they thought it was
1:00:08
Speaker 3: appropriate to end these when the COVID nineteen threat had
1:00:12
Speaker 3: well moved on six forty five, and it has. If
1:00:15
Speaker 3: you haven't gotten the memo five three seven, fifty eight
1:00:18
Speaker 3: hundred station, it's six forty nine right now, fifty five
1:00:24
Speaker 3: ker City Talk station.
1:00:25
Speaker 5: Ah.
1:00:26
Speaker 3: So looking forward to the top of the our news
1:00:27
Speaker 3: being over because you get to hear from Jack Atherton.
1:00:30
Speaker 3: It's time for the Big Picture with Jack Atherdan today.
1:00:32
Speaker 3: I just can't wait for this. The communist NFL Donovd
1:00:36
Speaker 3: and Neil from Americans for Prosperity shows up at sevenot
1:00:38
Speaker 3: thirty to talk about something else. That is I'm laughing
1:00:40
Speaker 3: about the campaign make Government work? M Is that even possible?
1:00:48
Speaker 3: I will ask him and Congressman Thomas Messy fast forward
1:00:50
Speaker 3: to eight oh five. We'll talk shut down. We'll also
1:00:52
Speaker 3: talk about the mysterious disappearing Epstein vote. Will we have
1:00:56
Speaker 3: a vote to release the Epstein files. I know he's
1:00:58
Speaker 3: backing that effort. I'm firmly behind Congressman Massey in that effort.
1:01:01
Speaker 3: And of course, as I've said many times, kind of
1:01:04
Speaker 3: disappointed in the Trump administration for the one eighty it
1:01:06
Speaker 3: did in connection with those documents. Judge and an Apolitano
1:01:10
Speaker 3: question mark when or the column Tonight we have a
1:01:12
Speaker 3: little bit more to talk about with the judge when
1:01:15
Speaker 3: presidents killed, talking about the striking of those of Venezuela
1:01:18
Speaker 3: and Narco terrists. And we also have that new opinion
1:01:21
Speaker 3: from the Office of Legal Counsel which apparently gives Trump
1:01:24
Speaker 3: carte blank, carte blanche authority to launch military strikes wherever
1:01:28
Speaker 3: he damn well pleases, as long as he makes a
1:01:30
Speaker 3: declaration of eminent threat. I'm still waiting for someone to
1:01:34
Speaker 3: call me up and tell me how a boat one
1:01:36
Speaker 3: fifteen hundred, maybe two thousand miles away and not a
1:01:39
Speaker 3: very big boat can represent an eminent threat to the
1:01:41
Speaker 3: United States. We do have a Coastguard. When they get close,
1:01:45
Speaker 3: dropping off drugs may present an eminent threat, but that
1:01:48
Speaker 3: will be our waters, our coastal waters taken care of
1:01:51
Speaker 3: by the law enforcement on waters, which is the Coast Guard.
1:01:54
Speaker 3: They regularly arrest drug dealers and prosecute them in a
1:01:57
Speaker 3: court of law where they'll get a lawyer and they'll
1:01:59
Speaker 3: get do process and then they'll get locked up.
1:02:03
Speaker 2: Anyway.
1:02:04
Speaker 3: The judge on that topic coming up and going back to,
1:02:10
Speaker 3: you know, Governor Pritzkers in Illinois comments about, you know,
1:02:12
Speaker 3: the the chaos that has been unleashed by the federal
1:02:15
Speaker 3: government and going and attacking US citizens and arresting US citizens.
1:02:19
Speaker 3: Here we go great illustration of this. If you're a
1:02:22
Speaker 3: US citizen and you're arrested, according to the Department of
1:02:25
Speaker 3: Homeland Security, it's because you committed a crime, not because
1:02:28
Speaker 3: you're a US citizen who had just happened to be
1:02:30
Speaker 3: in the wrong place at the wrong time. Here's an
1:02:32
Speaker 3: illustration and an eye opening one too, a professor at
1:02:38
Speaker 3: the University of Chicago. Go ahead and try to get
1:02:41
Speaker 3: your kid in the University of Chicago. Check out your tuition.
1:02:43
Speaker 3: Then remember that we have this kind of professor teaching you.
1:02:47
Speaker 3: Resting on Friday, charge with following riots and immigrations and
1:02:51
Speaker 3: Custom Enforcement Center authority, said Aimon abdel Hadi. She's an
1:02:58
Speaker 3: associate professor, and get a load. What the hell is
1:03:01
Speaker 3: this the Department of Comparative and Human Development. I have
1:03:11
Speaker 3: no idea what that is. Anyway, they have a department there,
1:03:14
Speaker 3: and this is an associate professor within that mysterious department.
1:03:17
Speaker 3: Charged with two counts of aggravated battery against the government employee,
1:03:21
Speaker 3: which is a felony. Two counts of resisting or obstructing
1:03:24
Speaker 3: peace officers at protest outside the ICE sight in Chicago crimes.
1:03:31
Speaker 3: Since it's not mentioned in the reporting that a. Aiman
1:03:34
Speaker 3: abdel Hattie is an illegal immigrants, so I'm gonna assume
1:03:38
Speaker 3: that she is not usually widely reported when ICE picks
1:03:43
Speaker 3: up someone and arrest them. That, in addition to being
1:03:45
Speaker 3: engaged in criminal activity resulting in the arrest. They also
1:03:48
Speaker 3: happen to be in here illegally. That was not mentioned.
1:03:54
Speaker 3: As for the professor described as a radical sociologist. A
1:04:04
Speaker 3: radical sociologist okay, at least the New York Post described
1:04:09
Speaker 3: her as such. They posted pictures from rally on Friday,
1:04:12
Speaker 3: accusing Illinois state troopers of enforcing President Trump's agenda of
1:04:16
Speaker 3: terrorizing our community with abductions. Huh, she's previously accused. Well,
1:04:23
Speaker 3: her own employer. Get a load of this, talk about
1:04:24
Speaker 3: biting the hands that feed you. What a total radical?
1:04:27
Speaker 3: Her employer, the University of Chicago. She was at a
1:04:29
Speaker 3: Socialism twenty twenty five conference, blank f word, the University
1:04:35
Speaker 3: of Chicago. My employer. It's evil, you know, it's a
1:04:39
Speaker 3: colonial landlord. Like, why would I put any of my
1:04:43
Speaker 3: political energy into this space? Huh? I kind of had
1:04:50
Speaker 3: a little bit of disdain for people who spend their
1:04:52
Speaker 3: time doing that. Now, unpackaged that she's talking about her employer. Okay,
1:05:03
Speaker 3: I think the salient point is here. US citizen professor
1:05:06
Speaker 3: at a distinguished university arrested for committing a crime, not
1:05:15
Speaker 3: for being a US citizen in the wrong place. At
1:05:17
Speaker 3: the wrong time. Annie Real quickly here to show what
1:05:24
Speaker 3: actually can be done in a government shutdown, Republicans yesterday
1:05:29
Speaker 3: approved more than one hundred Trump nominees. They've been held
1:05:34
Speaker 3: up now for months, but they had a rule change
1:05:36
Speaker 3: over in the Senate which allows them to fast track
1:05:38
Speaker 3: these folks. So it's a whole bunch of folks. And
1:05:41
Speaker 3: it's not just judges. It's like ambassadors to the Bahama,
1:05:45
Speaker 3: the ambassador to India. Those are approved, a variety of
1:05:48
Speaker 3: other people will approved, but in one unanimous or in
1:05:52
Speaker 3: one vote. So my understanding is the rule change allows
1:05:56
Speaker 3: a lot of these to be just sort of pushed
1:05:59
Speaker 3: through under one single votes. He got one hundred plus
1:06:03
Speaker 3: appointees or nominees one single vote cast, all of them approved,
1:06:08
Speaker 3: a total of one hundred and seven. So congratulations, he
1:06:11
Speaker 3: actually got something done during a government shutdown. I'll just
1:06:14
Speaker 3: ask an out loud question, rhetorical as it may be,
1:06:17
Speaker 3: are they working on the twelve appropriation bills right now?
1:06:20
Speaker 3: Because if they ultimately hammer out and we get a
1:06:23
Speaker 3: continuing resolution, let's say next week, I mean the expiration
1:06:28
Speaker 3: dates like the November in the middle of November, so
1:06:32
Speaker 3: we're gonna be revisiting the exact same thing now if
1:06:34
Speaker 3: they don't get the twelve appropriations done by the next
1:06:37
Speaker 3: deadline that they're arguing about now for the past week. Yeah,
1:06:42
Speaker 3: Big Picture with Jack Avinan after the top of the
1:06:43
Speaker 3: our news we're gonna find out about the communist NFL together,
1:06:47
Speaker 3: stick around today's top story. It's seven to six on
1:07:01
Speaker 3: a Wednesday. It is that time when we get to
1:07:03
Speaker 3: hear the brilliance of our friend Jack Aviden, and it's
1:07:06
Speaker 3: time for the Big Picture with Jack Avidy And I
1:07:08
Speaker 3: was really intrigued about your subject matter. Welcome back, Jack,
1:07:11
Speaker 3: always great having you on the show.
1:07:13
Speaker 9: Thank you for having me backpal. As you know, my
1:07:16
Speaker 9: favorite sport is what Howard Cosell used to call the
1:07:21
Speaker 9: National Football League. That was back when we were kids
1:07:26
Speaker 9: and the NFL was just another big business, not today's
1:07:30
Speaker 9: death star. Wait what did he say? Yeah, who's being
1:07:34
Speaker 9: killed by the NFL? Well, certainly not the owners. Mike
1:07:38
Speaker 9: Brown and his thirty one NFL partners are expected to
1:07:42
Speaker 9: rake in twenty three billion dollars this year.
1:07:46
Speaker 3: Easy and all the.
1:07:47
Speaker 9: Other businesses living off the NFL they're doing okay too.
1:07:52
Speaker 9: From TV networks that as we've discussed Brian are being
1:07:55
Speaker 9: kept alive by football to the makers of NFL Jersey
1:08:00
Speaker 9: another year. Most of it made in communists China, to
1:08:04
Speaker 9: gambling palaces and bookies, right down to the mascots. I
1:08:09
Speaker 9: have spotted who Day in costume at some of Cincinnati's
1:08:14
Speaker 9: swankiest restaurants with a whole bevy of Bengal cheerleaders. It's
1:08:18
Speaker 9: good to be connected with the NFL. But crazy as
1:08:23
Speaker 9: it sounds, Brian, cruel as it sounds, the guys who
1:08:27
Speaker 9: are being killed by the NFL are some of the
1:08:30
Speaker 9: league's best players, the ones who go number one in
1:08:34
Speaker 9: the draft. And that's because when it comes to the draft,
1:08:37
Speaker 9: pro football owners agree with your favorite saying my friend
1:08:41
Speaker 9: from Karl Marx, from each that is, from each draft prospect,
1:08:47
Speaker 9: according to his ability to each meaning to each bad
1:08:52
Speaker 9: team owner, according to his needs for leftists who don't
1:08:57
Speaker 9: follow football because it's too brutal, let me explain how
1:09:01
Speaker 9: this works. American football seeks parody among its thirty two teams.
1:09:07
Speaker 9: It's a worthy goal. So the NFL spreads young talent
1:09:10
Speaker 9: around by letting teams with the worst records get the
1:09:14
Speaker 9: highest picks in the draft. That's great, for the losing teams,
1:09:19
Speaker 9: especially if they are perennially losing teams, but it banishes
1:09:24
Speaker 9: the most coveted college players to Siberia otherwise known as
1:09:30
Speaker 9: pick them, the Jets, the Panthers, and with some exceptions,
1:09:34
Speaker 9: we've had some good seasons, but over the course of
1:09:37
Speaker 9: decades our Bengals, there's a reason that nationally they are
1:09:41
Speaker 9: known as the Bungals. Teams with owners who know less
1:09:45
Speaker 9: about football than how to make money, the NFL sacrifices
1:09:51
Speaker 9: its most promising young quarterbacks the way ancient Greeks sacrificed virgins.
1:09:57
Speaker 9: Now it's true, Brian, not many college quarterbacks are virgins.
1:10:01
Speaker 9: But does this sacrifice, this reward for losing, really help
1:10:06
Speaker 9: bad teams get any smarter?
1:10:08
Speaker 5: Does it?
1:10:08
Speaker 9: Finally dawn on Mike Brown that in order to protect
1:10:12
Speaker 9: his latest shiny new quarterback, maybe the Bengals ought to
1:10:15
Speaker 9: pick up great offensive linemen big beefies.
1:10:20
Speaker 3: But intell it, it seems so obvious the strategy. Jack,
1:10:26
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I'm laughing. Go ahead. Did we lose him?
1:10:32
Speaker 3: We lost him? So what do you want me to do? Joe?
1:10:36
Speaker 3: Jack Atherton is back. Jack, welcome back. You got cut off.
1:10:39
Speaker 3: I don't know how it happened, but we lost you.
1:10:41
Speaker 3: I was laughing at your comment about maybe the Bengals
1:10:43
Speaker 3: might consider larger people on the offensive line, which was
1:10:47
Speaker 3: a great idea. You have to be a coaching genius
1:10:50
Speaker 3: to figure that one out. Anyway, Jack, you have the floor.
1:10:52
Speaker 3: Welcome back.
1:10:54
Speaker 5: Oh, I know how I got cut off. The NFL
1:10:56
Speaker 5: strikes again. I was saying, we need a big deep
1:11:00
Speaker 5: of guys like Andrew Whitworth. You remember him. He was
1:11:03
Speaker 5: one of the best players, one of the best people
1:11:06
Speaker 5: the Bengals ever had under contract. Well, Mike Brown let
1:11:10
Speaker 5: Whitworth walk all the way to Los Angeles, where he
1:11:14
Speaker 5: was instrumental in winning a Super Bowl for the Rams.
1:11:18
Speaker 5: All right, let's fast forward fast through Joe Burrow, the
1:11:22
Speaker 5: most talented quarterback I've ever seen, and I go back
1:11:25
Speaker 5: Don Unitis and Joe Namath. Joe Burrow feels less like
1:11:30
Speaker 5: a quarterback than a manager who's being rushed by all
1:11:33
Speaker 5: the bulls at Pamplona, rushed this season once again to
1:11:38
Speaker 5: the hospital. This could lead Joe to follow Carson Palmer.
1:11:42
Speaker 5: We remember Carson, the bengals previous number one quarterback. He
1:11:47
Speaker 5: retired in frustration and only came back to the NFL
1:11:51
Speaker 5: when he was allowed to play for another team. My point, Brian,
1:11:56
Speaker 5: is that communism does not work, can be awfully cruel. Yes,
1:12:01
Speaker 5: the NFL has good intentions. It wants every team, no
1:12:05
Speaker 5: matter how crueless its ownership, to have a chance. So
1:12:09
Speaker 5: the league keeps rewarding failure and sacrifice, seeing merits twitching
1:12:14
Speaker 5: as you new On would friends to politics. That's what
1:12:18
Speaker 5: democrats socialists do today, and with far less reason. The
1:12:22
Speaker 5: NFL at least seeks to foster competition, and the league
1:12:26
Speaker 5: knows that even the most shell shocks the young quarterbacks
1:12:29
Speaker 5: will be paid unless their careers are cut short the
1:12:34
Speaker 5: way another Andrew Andrew lux was because the late jimmy
1:12:37
Speaker 5: Erci's colts failed to protect him. Let's pray that never
1:12:41
Speaker 5: happens to Joe Burrow. But by keeping bad teams hopeful
1:12:45
Speaker 5: every spring by rewarding their idiocy with number one draft picks,
1:12:49
Speaker 5: the NFL is not helping the sports or the fans,
1:12:53
Speaker 5: and certainly not the young athletes who train and compete
1:12:57
Speaker 5: from the time they suit up for Pop Warner as
1:13:00
Speaker 5: five year olds. Just as democrats socialists don't help children
1:13:05
Speaker 5: by insisting that high schools graduate them and then send
1:13:09
Speaker 5: them off to college and then hire them for dei
1:13:12
Speaker 5: government jobs when they are still functionally illiterate. And we're
1:13:17
Speaker 5: talking about kids that both sexes and all races and ethnicities,
1:13:21
Speaker 5: so don't call me a racist. The answer, I think
1:13:25
Speaker 5: is to penalize schools and teachers that receive taxpayer funding
1:13:29
Speaker 5: but cannot meet basic standards and more important, to help
1:13:33
Speaker 5: their students, which remedial courses, not phony diplomas. It also
1:13:38
Speaker 5: wouldn't hurt Brian to make more of an effort to
1:13:41
Speaker 5: enlist parents into helping their own kids. Because schools and
1:13:46
Speaker 5: Hillary Clinton's village cannot do it all, they shouldn't be
1:13:50
Speaker 5: expected to do it all. It takes parents, preferably to parents,
1:13:55
Speaker 5: to raise children finally, not nearly as important as kids
1:13:59
Speaker 5: in school, but important to long suffer in football fans.
1:14:02
Speaker 5: I think the NFL should limit the number of times
1:14:05
Speaker 5: bad teams can ruin the top draft picks. Having to
1:14:09
Speaker 5: compete for players is the only way bad teams will
1:14:13
Speaker 5: finally improve. Brian recall it the National Football League because
1:14:18
Speaker 5: it's all Americans. Let's make sure the NFL and our
1:14:22
Speaker 5: schools uphold the American ideal. Of rewarding not failure, but
1:14:27
Speaker 5: real merits. What are you saying?
1:14:29
Speaker 3: No, of course I love the segue into education. Very
1:14:34
Speaker 3: well done pivoting from NFL. But I guess it seems
1:14:37
Speaker 3: to me and my initial reaction to your point about,
1:14:39
Speaker 3: you know, giving the poorest teams the first draft courts
1:14:41
Speaker 3: choice is just because someone is desired and is a
1:14:46
Speaker 3: number one draft pick for a variety of teams because
1:14:49
Speaker 3: they're the college stats show that they're great players. That
1:14:52
Speaker 3: doesn't guarantee success in professional football, does it. There have
1:14:55
Speaker 3: been some real letdowns when it comes to number one
1:14:58
Speaker 3: draft picks and some of the top draft picks. Is
1:15:00
Speaker 3: isn't there enough, to your point, available talent among the
1:15:05
Speaker 3: draftees to satisfy the needs of these teams? So you
1:15:08
Speaker 3: can't you can pick some, you know, if you're not,
1:15:11
Speaker 3: you know, given preferential treatment because you suck, you still
1:15:15
Speaker 3: have an option Because I think the theory behind this
1:15:17
Speaker 3: allocation is that, well, the game's going to become boring.
1:15:20
Speaker 3: All the best players are going to end up And
1:15:22
Speaker 3: it used to be Dallas, right, and oh my god,
1:15:24
Speaker 3: it's unbeatable to the America's team. They win every time.
1:15:26
Speaker 3: It was almost a foregune conclusion, making the games kind
1:15:29
Speaker 3: of well, like, well, I know who's going to win,
1:15:32
Speaker 3: it's less interesting to watch. I think they think that
1:15:34
Speaker 3: by sort of wealth redistributing the players into various teams
1:15:40
Speaker 3: is going to create at least the perception of some
1:15:43
Speaker 3: fairness between teams. Isn't that the concept behind it?
1:15:46
Speaker 5: Well, Dallas has another jam, another beauty, as Trump would
1:15:51
Speaker 5: say of an owner Jerry Jones has tell you about him. Look, yes,
1:15:59
Speaker 5: there's no guarant see that a player is going to work.
1:16:01
Speaker 5: You have to sit into a system and it has
1:16:03
Speaker 5: to be a good sis. Some players realize that they're
1:16:06
Speaker 5: heading for disaster. John Elaware is the Eli Mannings. They
1:16:10
Speaker 5: were able to insist that they not have to go
1:16:12
Speaker 5: to garbage teams, and hopefully the teams that wanted them
1:16:16
Speaker 5: so bad they learned something from the fact that they
1:16:18
Speaker 5: were turned down, just as you know. I've been turned
1:16:21
Speaker 5: down count times like girls, and I hope I learned
1:16:23
Speaker 5: something from it. Before I thought it was some one
1:16:26
Speaker 5: who would accept me, and we've been married forty for years. Yeah,
1:16:29
Speaker 5: it can work out either way. But this idea that
1:16:33
Speaker 5: once in a generation talent like Joe Burrow and maybe
1:16:37
Speaker 5: he wasn't a once in a generation talent. But a
1:16:39
Speaker 5: guy like Baker Mayfield was picked up by Cleveland and
1:16:42
Speaker 5: could have been ruined. I mean, they could have killed him.
1:16:45
Speaker 5: And you know, I think by Cleveland is they're so stupid.
1:16:49
Speaker 5: They had a guy who was a rookie and he
1:16:52
Speaker 5: had to learn. He took them from one in fifteen
1:16:55
Speaker 5: to the playoffs and they fill got rid of them.
1:16:57
Speaker 5: And now Joe Burrow for Macield after going to two
1:17:01
Speaker 5: other teams, he's doing pretty well down in Tampa Bay.
1:17:05
Speaker 5: Here's no guarant see how this stuff is going to
1:17:07
Speaker 5: work out, but Joe Burrow will tell you there was
1:17:09
Speaker 5: every reasonable lee that he was going to step into
1:17:12
Speaker 5: a bad situation because of the way the NFL structures
1:17:15
Speaker 5: these things. And yeah, it was our game, but I
1:17:19
Speaker 5: hope it's not too much his loss. Man.
1:17:21
Speaker 3: He does seem to be a bit of a like
1:17:23
Speaker 3: a glass jaw kind of guy. He's always injured. But
1:17:25
Speaker 3: you can blame the offensive line. Maybe, yeah, that's certainly
1:17:28
Speaker 3: something to do with it.
1:17:29
Speaker 5: And fundamentally, you know, let me say, Joe, according to
1:17:34
Speaker 5: a lot of people who know a lot more about
1:17:35
Speaker 5: football than I do, sometimes holds onto the ball too long.
1:17:39
Speaker 5: You know, he's got to learn to get that quick
1:17:41
Speaker 5: release that kept you know, Tom Brady's and people like
1:17:45
Speaker 5: that from from getting hospitalized every year.
1:17:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is because he can't count his offensive line
1:17:50
Speaker 3: to give him the protection he needs to get the
1:17:53
Speaker 3: successful pass. I think ultimately, you know, moving away from
1:17:57
Speaker 3: the politics and the socialism and communism comparisons and the
1:18:01
Speaker 3: criticisms of the way the draft works all that, I
1:18:03
Speaker 3: think fundamentally for us it boils down to the ownership
1:18:06
Speaker 3: and the coaching. Right, if you made better choices in
1:18:09
Speaker 3: terms of player selection, you might have a better team
1:18:12
Speaker 3: on your hands, and your quarterback might.
1:18:13
Speaker 5: Be the ones. Yeah, the owners are the ones who
1:18:17
Speaker 5: picked their coaches. And there's no salary cap when it
1:18:19
Speaker 5: comes to a coach. You can go out and get
1:18:21
Speaker 5: somebody really great. You know. The NFL, I think most
1:18:25
Speaker 5: people know sports fans now is not like baseball. The
1:18:29
Speaker 5: owners who are all given basically the same amount of
1:18:31
Speaker 5: money to play with, and they have salary camps for
1:18:33
Speaker 5: the players. So if you Bill Burrow, yeah, you have
1:18:37
Speaker 5: to make sure you have a good coach, you have
1:18:38
Speaker 5: a good line, and then you got.
1:18:40
Speaker 3: To have some luck and a little money left over
1:18:42
Speaker 3: to hire some good sized offensive linemen. Jack Kennedy, a.
1:18:47
Speaker 5: Little money got focus of the Bengals. Yeah, but look,
1:18:51
Speaker 5: I don't want to tell businesses how to run their business.
1:18:54
Speaker 5: I'm a conservative and I'm not suggesting there's anything unconstitutional
1:19:00
Speaker 5: the arow the like to bad teams. The league is
1:19:04
Speaker 5: a private organization and they are in titles that run
1:19:06
Speaker 5: themselves the way they like. But boy, it seems unfair
1:19:09
Speaker 5: when we don't even see him on the sideline.
1:19:11
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, that's a good point, Jack, you always made
1:19:13
Speaker 3: great points. I'm glad you come on the morning show
1:19:15
Speaker 3: to talk about them. We'll do another big Picture with
1:19:17
Speaker 3: Jack Ryan.
1:19:17
Speaker 6: Yeah, forgive me.
1:19:19
Speaker 5: But can I just mention one of the other things
1:19:20
Speaker 5: that we end on a positive notes?
1:19:22
Speaker 2: Yes, kudos to the.
1:19:24
Speaker 5: Kudos to the University of Cincinnati Bearcats because they are
1:19:28
Speaker 5: building a football culture and they have then for a
1:19:30
Speaker 5: while with two ups and downs, but they're doing it
1:19:32
Speaker 5: the right way and they had a landmark win last Saturday.
1:19:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, one of the best teams.
1:19:37
Speaker 5: Eventually, Iowa's faked. I wish I could have rushed the
1:19:40
Speaker 5: field with everybody else down at Nippert So good luck
1:19:44
Speaker 5: to them.
1:19:44
Speaker 3: Again and it's not just luck well and contrasting the
1:19:48
Speaker 3: football team. When I was in college, there was no
1:19:52
Speaker 3: reason to go to the game other than to take
1:19:54
Speaker 3: your bagg of knops and excuse for a party. They
1:19:56
Speaker 3: sucked huge back when I was in college. So I'm
1:19:58
Speaker 3: glad to see him doing well, and I'm glad you
1:20:00
Speaker 3: have the have you on the program, JACKI and I
1:20:02
Speaker 3: appreciate your thoughts and comments and your insight. Will do
1:20:04
Speaker 3: it again next week hopefully, Jack. Best of health and
1:20:07
Speaker 3: love to you and your better.
1:20:08
Speaker 5: Half Man Oh Chury, Thanks so much.
1:20:11
Speaker 3: Brian Bubba by bye, seven twenty five fifty five Cares.
1:20:13
Speaker 10: And Tyler's Phil He's found on two seventy five erect.
1:20:17
Speaker 10: Just after you got past the cold rain split Chunking
1:20:20
Speaker 10: ver Month fifty five KOs the talk station.
1:20:24
Speaker 3: It's seven twenty nine fifty five KRSD talk station and
1:20:26
Speaker 3: a very happy Wednesday to you one hour from now
1:20:28
Speaker 3: Judgejenna Politana, preceded by Congressman Thomas Massey. In the meantime,
1:20:34
Speaker 3: Welcome back to the fifty five carsee morning show from
1:20:36
Speaker 3: Americans for Prosperity. Donovan and he it's always great having
1:20:38
Speaker 3: you on the show. Donovan Brian, always a pleasure to
1:20:42
Speaker 3: start my Wednesday with you, and I've been laughing all
1:20:44
Speaker 3: morning at the subject matter is just make government work?
1:20:47
Speaker 3: Campus like, is that even possible? They have to be
1:20:50
Speaker 3: open to get work done, apparently, although they were able
1:20:52
Speaker 3: to approve one hundred and seven of Donald Trump's nominees
1:20:55
Speaker 3: and positions yesterday, uh, fast tracking that. But they had
1:20:58
Speaker 3: a solution for that that didn't require sixty votes in
1:21:00
Speaker 3: the Senate. They need that many votes to get the
1:21:03
Speaker 3: government open again. So absent and open government, I doubt
1:21:06
Speaker 3: it's going to be working. Some of my listeners are
1:21:08
Speaker 3: actually quite pleased about that. Before we jump to the
1:21:11
Speaker 3: make Government Work program, your reaction to the Democrats lining
1:21:14
Speaker 3: the same position on this, I mean, we keep going
1:21:16
Speaker 3: back to the fact that the premium supplements were waved.
1:21:21
Speaker 3: The cap was waved because of COVID, and they put
1:21:25
Speaker 3: an end date in that legislation, which is the end
1:21:28
Speaker 3: of this calendar year. That was by the Democrat's own hand.
1:21:31
Speaker 3: It's something they agreed to. They're going to end. COVID
1:21:35
Speaker 3: is over. We have no reason to continue this, and
1:21:37
Speaker 3: yet they're the Democrats are insisting that we give all
1:21:39
Speaker 3: kinds of people, including illegal immigrants, but even people who
1:21:42
Speaker 3: make two hundred and three hundred four hundred thousand dollars
1:21:45
Speaker 3: a year or how whatever amount over sixty two to five.
1:21:47
Speaker 3: They're going to get a break and have their premium
1:21:49
Speaker 3: supplement by the American tax payer. I don't get how
1:21:52
Speaker 3: they have any traction on this at all, donov and
1:21:54
Speaker 3: I just want to get your reaction to their position
1:21:56
Speaker 3: relative to the Republicans.
1:21:59
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, and the reality is there is zero connection
1:22:04
Speaker 1: between this government shut down and the demands of Chuck
1:22:09
Speaker 1: Schumer on these COVID subsidies. They're entirely and wholly unrelated.
1:22:15
Speaker 1: And the fact that this narrative continues to be able
1:22:17
Speaker 1: to exist, you know, in traditional media, and that they're
1:22:22
Speaker 1: not being laughed out of Washington, DC the Democrats over
1:22:24
Speaker 1: this is just unbelievable, zero connection, Brian, between our government
1:22:29
Speaker 1: not functioning right now, military pay at risk, federal employees
1:22:34
Speaker 1: pay at risk next week, and these COVID subsidies totally unrelated,
1:22:39
Speaker 1: And it's.
1:22:39
Speaker 3: Such a black and white there's no gray area in this.
1:22:42
Speaker 3: The continued resolution offered by the Republicans is the Biden
1:22:45
Speaker 3: level of spending. So the Democrats aren't complaining about all
1:22:49
Speaker 3: the evil Republicans. CR wants to cut this, that and
1:22:51
Speaker 3: the other thing. No, it doesn't, so that argument isn't there.
1:22:56
Speaker 3: So we really are talking about extending these COVID era
1:22:59
Speaker 3: supplements that message the reality the black and the reality
1:23:03
Speaker 3: of the black and white nature of this dispute that
1:23:05
Speaker 3: it isn't resonating or maybe is lost on the American people.
1:23:08
Speaker 3: That's a struggle that you deal with Americans for prosperity
1:23:11
Speaker 3: all the time. If people don't pay attention, if they
1:23:13
Speaker 3: don't bother looking into the whys and wherefores, they're just
1:23:17
Speaker 3: going to listen to a SoundBite from the Democrats or
1:23:20
Speaker 3: the Republicans as the case maybe, but they're going to
1:23:22
Speaker 3: be in a factual vacuum.
1:23:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that's part of what we've been
1:23:27
Speaker 1: out there driving and I think Speaker Johnson and the
1:23:30
Speaker 1: Republican majority in Congress have done a great job of
1:23:33
Speaker 1: driving that home. We have to reject the Democrats premise
1:23:36
Speaker 1: here there's no need for a deal, that it's a
1:23:39
Speaker 1: manufactured crisis that is easily resolved with the clean Continuing
1:23:43
Speaker 1: Resolution that's already passed out of Congress. Is oversitting with
1:23:48
Speaker 1: the Senate and just takes sixty votes. It'd be great
1:23:51
Speaker 1: to get one hundred, right, to get everybody to agree
1:23:53
Speaker 1: we're just going to keep our government running while we
1:23:55
Speaker 1: proceed through the normal order of business of getting these
1:23:57
Speaker 1: budget bills completed and sent to the press. It and
1:24:02
Speaker 1: so yeah, the idea here, Brian Wright, is reject the
1:24:04
Speaker 1: premise of what Democrats are putting for because it's it's bogus,
1:24:08
Speaker 1: it's not real. They're unconnected issues, and the crisis exists
1:24:12
Speaker 1: only because Chuck Schumer wants to use the September thirtieth
1:24:16
Speaker 1: end of the federal fiscal year. He used the September
1:24:19
Speaker 1: thirtieth end of the fiscal year to create a crisis
1:24:21
Speaker 1: and to try to score some partisan wins on an
1:24:25
Speaker 1: issue that they can talk about, debate and discuss beyond
1:24:29
Speaker 1: the government shutdown.
1:24:30
Speaker 3: Well, you mentioned Johnson when he was he did his
1:24:33
Speaker 3: press conference on this issue. He was bulletproof, rock solid,
1:24:39
Speaker 3: very just laid out point by point reason why this
1:24:43
Speaker 3: is all on the Democrats corner. The point that I
1:24:45
Speaker 3: just boiled down a moment ago about these COVID nineteen
1:24:48
Speaker 3: year or something mean, you couldn't It was just easy
1:24:50
Speaker 3: to unpackage and easy to listen to. But if no
1:24:52
Speaker 3: one's listening to that message. I heard a talking head
1:24:56
Speaker 3: comment on that that you know X number of people
1:25:00
Speaker 3: actually watched it or clicked on the replay on social
1:25:02
Speaker 3: media versus Bernie Sanders or whoever else rambling about the
1:25:07
Speaker 3: evil Republicans which had millions and millions by contrast clicks
1:25:10
Speaker 3: on it. So if you're hiding in that factual vacuum,
1:25:13
Speaker 3: you're not interested in hearing what Johnson's going to say.
1:25:15
Speaker 3: You're not going to see how bulletproof is logic is.
1:25:18
Speaker 3: So there's that uphill struggle. We constantly deal with waking
1:25:21
Speaker 3: the American people up and getting them to try and
1:25:24
Speaker 3: pay attention. So let's pause. We'll bring Donovan O'Neil back
1:25:27
Speaker 3: and talk specifically about how you and I can help
1:25:30
Speaker 3: make government work to the extent that's a good idea.
1:25:33
Speaker 3: We'll continue to de talk Station Brian Thomas with Americans
1:25:35
Speaker 3: for Prosperities Dominant O'Neill on the concept of make government work.
1:25:40
Speaker 3: Over at makegovernmentwork dot org. You can find all the
1:25:43
Speaker 3: I love this one, Donovan particularly, you have five specific acts,
1:25:49
Speaker 3: the Reorganizing Government Act to prevent government Shutdown Zact, the
1:25:52
Speaker 3: Rains Act among them, and each one would go a
1:25:55
Speaker 3: long long way to accomplish the goals of my listeners
1:25:58
Speaker 3: and I are really hoping to see some day, you know,
1:26:00
Speaker 3: getting rid of inefficiency, getting rid of bureaucracy, streamlining processes,
1:26:04
Speaker 3: making government more efficient, and preventing the government from shutting
1:26:08
Speaker 3: down in the event they can't resolve things. So let's
1:26:10
Speaker 3: talk about some of these. Congressman Massy has brought up
1:26:12
Speaker 3: some of these particular acts before. But an opportunity you've
1:26:15
Speaker 3: made so easy for our listeners to get engaged. Just
1:26:17
Speaker 3: give them your name and your email address, and so
1:26:20
Speaker 3: they'll send you a call to action from time to time.
1:26:23
Speaker 3: This is the well oiled machine that we need on
1:26:25
Speaker 3: our side of the political ledger, much in the same
1:26:27
Speaker 3: way those leftists and Marxists and socialists have such a
1:26:30
Speaker 3: well lower machine when it comes to social media. So
1:26:32
Speaker 3: help you help yourself, help Americans for our prosperity. Let's
1:26:36
Speaker 3: talk about some of these. Donovan, the Reorganizing Government Act.
1:26:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is this is a piece of legislation from
1:26:45
Speaker 1: Kentucky Representative James Comer.
1:26:47
Speaker 2: It's active legislation.
1:26:48
Speaker 1: We've got nineteen co sponsors right now, and what it
1:26:51
Speaker 1: would require is an independent review for waste and overlapping services,
1:26:56
Speaker 1: provide Congress with reorganization plans right to I'll sort of
1:27:00
Speaker 1: pinpoint from independent analysis what needs to be done to
1:27:05
Speaker 1: get you the duplicative regulatory bodies and just the bloat
1:27:10
Speaker 1: and overweight of government streamlines so it can actually operate efficiently.
1:27:14
Speaker 1: And these aren't like I mean, they are pie and
1:27:16
Speaker 1: the sky ideas Brian right. But like outside of government,
1:27:20
Speaker 1: large organizations, large complex organizations are able to do this stuff,
1:27:24
Speaker 1: and we just need to bring some of those practices
1:27:26
Speaker 1: and ideas to government to make it work at a
1:27:29
Speaker 1: cost effective way with the precious tax tape pair dollars
1:27:32
Speaker 1: we give it so that it can function without chaos
1:27:38
Speaker 1: and craziness.
1:27:39
Speaker 3: Well, because the free markets out here in the real world,
1:27:41
Speaker 3: where real work has to be done and they have
1:27:43
Speaker 3: to make a real profit, they're allowed to streamline and
1:27:47
Speaker 3: engage in rifts and reorgs and elimination of departments without
1:27:50
Speaker 3: fear of litigation. Because most of the employers have the
1:27:53
Speaker 3: freedom to hire or fire at will. You don't have
1:27:55
Speaker 3: that in the federal government. They have rules, regulations, unions
1:27:58
Speaker 3: protecting the government employees ease, and there's so much red
1:28:01
Speaker 3: tape involving eliminating a position. It just gets bigger and bigger,
1:28:04
Speaker 3: and no one ever seems to get fired.
1:28:08
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, and I think you know, we see glimmers
1:28:09
Speaker 1: of this the early days of Trump forty seven. Right,
1:28:12
Speaker 1: just a few short months ago, there was a there
1:28:14
Speaker 1: was that that energy existed. I think in Washington, make
1:28:17
Speaker 1: some of those reforms. Now you're taking you know, you're
1:28:20
Speaker 1: going up against what is that that an immovable object
1:28:23
Speaker 1: and an unstoppable force, right, Yes, kind of colliding here,
1:28:26
Speaker 1: but you know it's it's legislation like this right that
1:28:29
Speaker 1: it has the opportunity of Congress has the courage to
1:28:32
Speaker 1: reassert its authority and right size the ship. It's possible,
1:28:36
Speaker 1: it's constitutional, and we appreciate Senator or Representative Comer for
1:28:40
Speaker 1: bringing this forward. And we're kind of beating that drum
1:28:42
Speaker 1: out there on on this as a key solution to
1:28:45
Speaker 1: fixing the bloat and wasting government.
1:28:47
Speaker 3: And there is no reason to be against the prevent
1:28:49
Speaker 3: Government Shutdown z Act. We wouldn't be in the middle
1:28:51
Speaker 3: of this stupidity if we had this, and this is
1:28:54
Speaker 3: one of the ones that I've talked about with Congressman Massy.
1:28:56
Speaker 3: Remind my listeners about this one.
1:28:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this is from Senator James Langford, and this
1:29:00
Speaker 1: actually has been around for a few sessions of Congress.
1:29:03
Speaker 1: It came about in twenty nineteen when we had the
1:29:05
Speaker 1: thirty five day shutdown. Shutdowns are a more recent in
1:29:11
Speaker 1: art in American history phenomenon. It actually came out of
1:29:15
Speaker 1: the nineteen seventies and an interpretation from the Carter administration
1:29:20
Speaker 1: on the function of government when it fails to pass
1:29:24
Speaker 1: a budget. It's created a crisis to crisis environment where
1:29:29
Speaker 1: like we're seeing right now, right wholly unrelated issues like
1:29:32
Speaker 1: covid era, health ACA subsidies are trying to be connected
1:29:37
Speaker 1: to the normal funding of our federal government at current levels,
1:29:41
Speaker 1: totally unconnected issues. We can prevent government shutdowns though, by
1:29:45
Speaker 1: automatically funding government at current levels until the budget process
1:29:48
Speaker 1: is done and putting some accountability measures like hey, Congressman,
1:29:52
Speaker 1: you can't use taxpayer dollars to get out of Washington
1:29:55
Speaker 1: go home, and you know, you know, peacock in front
1:30:00
Speaker 1: of your constituents. You got to stay in Washington until
1:30:03
Speaker 1: the job is done and you get the budget It's
1:30:05
Speaker 1: the most essential function of.
1:30:07
Speaker 2: Congress, Brian.
1:30:08
Speaker 1: We know this right is to fund our federal government
1:30:11
Speaker 1: and manage it to prevent government shutdown. Act would eliminate
1:30:14
Speaker 1: the crisis to crisis approach that exists right now when
1:30:18
Speaker 1: Congress government can shut down because Congress Build Act.
1:30:21
Speaker 3: All right, moving over the Comprehensive Congressional Budget Act.
1:30:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, So what this would do when we budget at home?
1:30:30
Speaker 8: Right?
1:30:31
Speaker 1: And I know Congress in Washington, DC aren't like budgeting
1:30:34
Speaker 1: at home, but you put everything together, right. You don't
1:30:37
Speaker 1: get to just say, hey, you know, my mortgage payment's
1:30:40
Speaker 1: over here, and you know date Night with the wife
1:30:43
Speaker 1: budget is over here. It's all one big budget, right,
1:30:46
Speaker 1: You get one paycheck and it all gets You got
1:30:48
Speaker 1: to budget it all out right now, Congress has shrunk
1:30:52
Speaker 1: discretionary spending is only about twenty five percent seventy five
1:30:55
Speaker 1: percent or more? Is this direct spending like Social Security,
1:30:59
Speaker 1: Medicaid care, these these programs that are sort of I
1:31:02
Speaker 1: would describe as.
1:31:03
Speaker 2: Being on autopilot for budgeting.
1:31:05
Speaker 1: We need to put the whole picture together and have
1:31:07
Speaker 1: a full picture of what our federal government is in
1:31:10
Speaker 1: taking and outgoing spending so that we're actually making decisions
1:31:14
Speaker 1: about the total ledger, not just that small percentage that
1:31:19
Speaker 1: is discretionary.
1:31:20
Speaker 2: We want Congress to be in control of the purse.
1:31:23
Speaker 2: And what this would is would require that.
1:31:26
Speaker 3: So they take in X, they've got mandatory spending, which
1:31:30
Speaker 3: is a pile that represents why so X minus Y
1:31:35
Speaker 3: is what's left over, and that has to be allocated
1:31:39
Speaker 3: responsively among what's left the non discretionary spending. So if
1:31:43
Speaker 3: you have a finite amount of cash left over in
1:31:45
Speaker 3: the pile, you limit your spending to what's left over.
1:31:47
Speaker 3: That's responsible budgeting, which means a lot of stuff is
1:31:50
Speaker 3: going to have to get cut because it isn't really
1:31:51
Speaker 3: truly a priority.
1:31:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you know, cut adjusted.
1:31:57
Speaker 1: You know, not that I would advocate or we would
1:32:00
Speaker 1: outgate for this, right, but if you you know, Congress
1:32:02
Speaker 1: deems this a priority. We're gonna have to raise taxes
1:32:04
Speaker 1: or some other form of revenue to get it done.
1:32:06
Speaker 1: But right now, we kind of look at these things
1:32:08
Speaker 1: in pieces and parcels. We want Congress to look at
1:32:11
Speaker 1: this as the whole picture, right Congress, Like you said,
1:32:13
Speaker 1: it takes an X, it's got to spend. Why what
1:32:17
Speaker 1: do you what do you what are the actual priorities,
1:32:19
Speaker 1: where can the where is the federal government best position
1:32:21
Speaker 1: to be impactful or have programs. But again, right now,
1:32:24
Speaker 1: as long as it's sort of sliced and diced and
1:32:26
Speaker 1: split up, more of it's on autopilot. When we actually
1:32:30
Speaker 1: want Congress to take a more active approach to governing,
1:32:34
Speaker 1: that's what we send them there to do.
1:32:35
Speaker 2: We elect them to go there and do that. A
1:32:37
Speaker 2: handful do we need all of Congress to do that?
1:32:40
Speaker 3: And the next one's come up quite frequently. Again, again
1:32:42
Speaker 3: I've talked with Congress from mass about the Rains Act.
1:32:45
Speaker 3: This is a really important one.
1:32:48
Speaker 1: Well, absolutely, once we get the and we can get
1:32:50
Speaker 1: government reorganized, we can get you know this this shutdown
1:32:54
Speaker 1: threat removed from the equation in Washington, d C.
1:32:57
Speaker 2: And you get the budgeting figured out. Y'all got to
1:33:00
Speaker 2: make sure the bloat doesn't come back, right.
1:33:02
Speaker 1: And each of these are important on their own, but
1:33:04
Speaker 1: the Rains Act in particular, you know, as we start,
1:33:07
Speaker 1: especially this Trump administration with Doe starts clearing out rules
1:33:11
Speaker 1: and regulations and streamlining permitting.
1:33:13
Speaker 2: If we can clear out the cobwebs.
1:33:15
Speaker 1: But what we need to do is by enacting the
1:33:17
Speaker 1: Rains Act keep that proliferation of rules and regulations from
1:33:21
Speaker 1: coming back, and it would the regulations from.
1:33:24
Speaker 2: The executive in need a scrutiny.
1:33:26
Speaker 1: Is good for both Republicans and Democrats because it'd keep
1:33:29
Speaker 1: these most egregious, economically harmful rules from going into effect
1:33:34
Speaker 1: without at least Congress taking another look at him and saying, yeah,
1:33:37
Speaker 1: this is what we intended.
1:33:38
Speaker 2: We believe this is important and it's right now.
1:33:42
Speaker 1: Got ninety two co sponsors, including Ohio's own Dave Taylor
1:33:45
Speaker 1: from southern Ohio.
1:33:46
Speaker 2: So we appreciate that cool from him.
1:33:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, and force the Democrats to defend what they want,
1:33:51
Speaker 3: which is egregiously intrusive and irresponsible regulations. Make them justify
1:33:56
Speaker 3: it now, at least the conversation will be air, will
1:33:59
Speaker 3: air all this out in the public. Now, finally we
1:34:02
Speaker 3: have the Midnight Rules Relief Act. I'm not familiar with
1:34:04
Speaker 3: this one, Donovan.
1:34:06
Speaker 1: So this is from Arizona Representative Andy Biggs, and this
1:34:09
Speaker 1: is an important piece in that how many times do
1:34:11
Speaker 1: we hear right, You get to December or January when
1:34:14
Speaker 1: a new administration is coming in and the outgoing lame
1:34:17
Speaker 1: duck president starts writing rules and auto Penning rules. Whatever
1:34:21
Speaker 1: they're doing, right, they're just going on a flurry of
1:34:24
Speaker 1: enacting the things that might have been politically unpopular in
1:34:26
Speaker 1: the early part of their tenure of their administration. But
1:34:29
Speaker 1: they jam that stuff through.
1:34:31
Speaker 2: We shouldn't be doing that stuff. What it would do
1:34:32
Speaker 2: is it would target some of these late term regulations.
1:34:36
Speaker 1: So anything sort of that you're the administration is trying
1:34:38
Speaker 1: to do in the final year on office, give that
1:34:41
Speaker 1: a little more scrutiny.
1:34:42
Speaker 2: Expand the Congressional Review Act to be.
1:34:44
Speaker 1: Able to bundle some of those reviews together, where right
1:34:47
Speaker 1: now I believe they have to do them sort of individually,
1:34:49
Speaker 1: with each individual rule, ultimately saving time and taxpay dollars.
1:34:53
Speaker 1: Some rules need to be implemented, right, But we want
1:34:55
Speaker 1: to reassert that congressional authority that if you're on the
1:34:58
Speaker 1: Biden administration and you're on your way out, you don't
1:35:02
Speaker 1: get to put all this stuff in, you know, Monday
1:35:05
Speaker 1: night and Tuesday morning. When the next president comes in,
1:35:09
Speaker 1: they've got to figure out what the damage is and
1:35:12
Speaker 1: what actually needs to be adjusted.
1:35:14
Speaker 3: I couldn't agree more with that. So, as we typically
1:35:16
Speaker 3: end on the call to action, I know the website
1:35:19
Speaker 3: is Makegovernmentwork dot com. How can my listeners get engaged?
1:35:25
Speaker 2: Well, go to that website.
1:35:26
Speaker 1: And the important part about this toolkit why I wanted
1:35:28
Speaker 1: to join you and talk about this today, is so
1:35:30
Speaker 1: many of our friends on the left say, well, Republicans
1:35:33
Speaker 1: have no solutions. Conservatives have no solutions to these problems.
1:35:37
Speaker 1: We have solutions, Brian. Makegovernmentwork dot com. It's a place
1:35:41
Speaker 1: you can go. There's five active pieces of legislation in
1:35:44
Speaker 1: Congress right now that would solve many of the structural
1:35:47
Speaker 1: problems that have put.
1:35:49
Speaker 2: Us in the situation we're in here today, eight days
1:35:51
Speaker 2: into a government shutdown.
1:35:53
Speaker 1: Go there, arm yourself with some information and go out
1:35:56
Speaker 1: and have that conversation with folks.
1:35:57
Speaker 2: And if you want to join us, go.
1:35:59
Speaker 1: There, share your information. We'll reach out and we'll get
1:36:01
Speaker 1: you plugged into some of the events and activities we
1:36:03
Speaker 1: have going on around the Buckeye State.
1:36:05
Speaker 3: I know you will. You always have and you'll continue
1:36:07
Speaker 3: to do so. Americans for Prosperity, head on over to
1:36:09
Speaker 3: Makegovernmentwork dot com. Just Trek will put a link up
1:36:12
Speaker 3: on my blog page fifty five care Sea dot com
1:36:14
Speaker 3: case you can't remember that. Donovan O'Neil, thanks for what
1:36:16
Speaker 3: you and Americans for prosperity do each and every day.
1:36:19
Speaker 3: Appreciate your willingness to help out voters here in the
1:36:21
Speaker 3: state of Ohio get involved as well as dealing with
1:36:23
Speaker 3: national legislation, which of course is the scope of this
1:36:26
Speaker 3: Make a Government Work plan. Donovan will get you out
1:36:29
Speaker 3: back on real soon. Have a great day and keep
1:36:30
Speaker 3: up the excellent work the talk station seven fifty four
1:36:35
Speaker 3: to fifty five care Cit talk Station. Interesting concept. Making
1:36:38
Speaker 3: government far more efficient, streamline it so it can actually
1:36:40
Speaker 3: do work efficiently, something we expect from the private sector
1:36:44
Speaker 3: and something we never get from the government. Why because
1:36:46
Speaker 3: we can't. We don't have a choice. There's no choice.
1:36:50
Speaker 3: You are forced to pay taxes, taxes that fund a government.
1:36:54
Speaker 3: The government is run by our bureaucrats who refuse to
1:36:56
Speaker 3: reduce the size and global of government, even though they
1:36:58
Speaker 3: spend far more than they take in. We don't have
1:37:00
Speaker 3: any choice on that, with the exception of voting for
1:37:03
Speaker 3: people who might consider efficiency and spending as a priority,
1:37:08
Speaker 3: you're limiting your selection on that. Kind of reminds me
1:37:11
Speaker 3: on some level. Public schools, you have no choice. They
1:37:14
Speaker 3: make you go there, even though your children are not
1:37:17
Speaker 3: getting educated to your expectations. They're inefficient, they're bloated, their
1:37:22
Speaker 3: salaries don't reflect the benefit that you're getting from any
1:37:25
Speaker 3: given teacher. I mean, you go on and on and on.
1:37:26
Speaker 3: You are stuck there. So we can change schools, and
1:37:31
Speaker 3: we can change the idea of giving you the choice
1:37:34
Speaker 3: of where to go, much to the threat to the teachers'
1:37:37
Speaker 3: unions and the public education system which is not delivering
1:37:40
Speaker 3: because if it was, people would choose to stay there.
1:37:45
Speaker 3: We don't have that option. When it comes to the
1:37:46
Speaker 3: federal government, we don't. You're stuck. So why wouldn't we
1:37:52
Speaker 3: demand better efficiency from our taxpayer dollars? Why do we
1:37:56
Speaker 3: abide all of this fraud was abuse when it's our
1:38:01
Speaker 3: money that's being abused and wasted, and it's our money
1:38:04
Speaker 3: that is allowing an inefficient government to continue unabatedy five
1:38:11
Speaker 3: K see the talk station. Congressman Thomas Massey is going
1:38:14
Speaker 3: to come up next, follow by Judge enital POULTONO. I
1:38:16
Speaker 3: sure hope you can stick around for the conversations.
1:38:19
Speaker 7: Today's top stories.
1:38:22
Speaker 3: Welcome to the beginning of my favorite hour radio. We
1:38:25
Speaker 3: get to hear from Congressman Thomas Massey you followed by
1:38:27
Speaker 3: Judge Ennita Poulitano, who may very well be listening right now.
1:38:30
Speaker 3: Joe Strucker gave him the heads up that Congressman Massy,
1:38:33
Speaker 3: you be on the program right now. Welcome back, my friend.
1:38:35
Speaker 3: It's always a pleasure having you on the show.
1:38:38
Speaker 2: Great to be on.
1:38:39
Speaker 5: I'd rather be in DC, but Speaker Johnston doesn't want
1:38:43
Speaker 5: us to come back.
1:38:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, I I you'd rather be in DC. You're not
1:38:48
Speaker 3: in d C, which you anticipated one of what was
1:38:51
Speaker 3: going to be one of my questions about this shutdown. Yes,
1:38:53
Speaker 3: we're in the middle of a shutdown. Know the Democrats
1:38:56
Speaker 3: will not agree to continuing to operate at the levels
1:38:58
Speaker 3: that they created last year. It's the Biden level spending
1:39:01
Speaker 3: that the Republicans passed over your objection, and I understand
1:39:04
Speaker 3: that with a continuing resolution, they can't complain about cuts
1:39:09
Speaker 3: the government anything. They're just trying to keep it open
1:39:10
Speaker 3: and keep us hostage. Although none of my listening audience
1:39:14
Speaker 3: feels hostage. Congressman Massy the oldest hostage. So they can
1:39:18
Speaker 3: continue covid Era premium supplements under Obamacare, I mean COVID's over.
1:39:23
Speaker 3: They put the deadline of December of twenty twenty five
1:39:26
Speaker 3: in the legislation extending these benefits. They knew this was coming. Obviously,
1:39:31
Speaker 3: this is a pretext shutdown for them to continue along
1:39:34
Speaker 3: the path of bringing us basically medicaid for all under
1:39:37
Speaker 3: the Obamacare umbrella. Am I on the right path? Congressman Massy, Yes,
1:39:43
Speaker 3: let me back up before we unpack all of that.
1:39:46
Speaker 5: So not only are we in a shutdown, we're in
1:39:48
Speaker 5: a recess. And this is interesting because usually during a shutdown,
1:39:53
Speaker 5: Congress is in set.
1:39:54
Speaker 2: There you go.
1:39:55
Speaker 5: But the Speaker, Johnson has decided politically it's better for
1:40:00
Speaker 5: us not to be in town now. He says. The
1:40:03
Speaker 5: reason is he doesn't want the Democrats doing dilatory things
1:40:07
Speaker 5: on the floor, maybe making motions or whatnot. But the
1:40:10
Speaker 5: reality is, if he were to call us back today,
1:40:14
Speaker 5: he would have to swear in the one hundred and
1:40:17
Speaker 5: eighteenth signature on my Epstein petition and we could force
1:40:22
Speaker 5: a vote on releasing the Epstein file.
1:40:24
Speaker 3: Well, is that what this is about?
1:40:27
Speaker 5: This is I'm calling it. Okay, it may be the
1:40:30
Speaker 5: Schumer shut down, but it's the Epstein recess.
1:40:33
Speaker 6: Is what it is.
1:40:36
Speaker 3: But wait to say, Okay, we're gonna get dive into
1:40:39
Speaker 3: more of the details.
1:40:40
Speaker 2: On this one.
1:40:41
Speaker 3: But my question to you is going to be and
1:40:44
Speaker 3: I just was putting the recess reality in the back
1:40:46
Speaker 3: of my mind. If you the government shut down, that
1:40:49
Speaker 3: doesn't stop you or the Senate from working on the
1:40:51
Speaker 3: twelve appropriations bills, which is the reason you're doing the
1:40:54
Speaker 3: CR to keep the government open until the middle of November,
1:40:57
Speaker 3: because the way we're doing it right now, it's going
1:40:59
Speaker 3: to be shut down up until the deadline that's in
1:41:02
Speaker 3: the CR.
1:41:04
Speaker 5: You can't open the government back down if Congress shut
1:41:07
Speaker 5: it down and Congress is not in session. So it's
1:41:10
Speaker 5: I mean, I understand, I understand his excuse, but I
1:41:15
Speaker 5: think it's it's just an excuse, and I think we
1:41:18
Speaker 5: should be in Washington, DC in the event that the
1:41:22
Speaker 5: Senate does come to some agreement, then the House could
1:41:26
Speaker 5: act immediately. But he's trying to basically jam the Senate
1:41:31
Speaker 5: because the House already passed the CR and then the
1:41:34
Speaker 5: Senate's sitting there and they're just having new votes on
1:41:37
Speaker 5: that same CR to try to get more Democrats to fold.
1:41:41
Speaker 5: People ask me when will the shut down end, and
1:41:44
Speaker 5: I will, and I will tell you it ends the
1:41:46
Speaker 5: way it always ends. It ends when one side's polling
1:41:51
Speaker 5: shows that they're taking a butt whipping in public opinion
1:41:56
Speaker 5: and then they come to the table and give in.
1:42:01
Speaker 5: So right now, neither side has a clear indication that
1:42:06
Speaker 5: they're losing the messaging war. So we're going to be
1:42:10
Speaker 5: in a shutdown for a while. I believe the next
1:42:14
Speaker 5: big milestone is the middle of this month, which is
1:42:17
Speaker 5: when government employees they get paid five monthly, twice a month.
1:42:23
Speaker 5: That is going to be the big show down there now,
1:42:26
Speaker 5: most not well a majority of government workers are probably Democrats.
1:42:31
Speaker 5: I know a lot of good Republicans who work for
1:42:33
Speaker 5: the government, but I would say a majority of them,
1:42:36
Speaker 5: especially in DC, are Democrats. So the interesting thing is
1:42:40
Speaker 5: going to be when they don't get their next paycheck. Now,
1:42:44
Speaker 5: the reality is, I don't mean to sound callous or
1:42:46
Speaker 5: to diminish this, but the credit unions will give anybody
1:42:52
Speaker 5: who's a member of the credit union at advance on
1:42:55
Speaker 5: their paycheck because they know that I'm talking about the
1:42:58
Speaker 5: Federal Credit union right Because they know they're going to
1:43:01
Speaker 5: get paid. There's never the employees who are whether they're
1:43:05
Speaker 5: essential or non essential, they will all get paid when
1:43:09
Speaker 5: the shutdown is over. That's the way it's been with
1:43:12
Speaker 5: every shutdown, and knowing that the federal credit unions will
1:43:17
Speaker 5: give the paycheck to any federal employee advance it without interest.
1:43:22
Speaker 3: It's a safe risk.
1:43:23
Speaker 5: But yeah, but it still makes it's still going to
1:43:27
Speaker 5: be and not everybody's in a credit union, and it's
1:43:29
Speaker 5: still going to make a talking point on the fifteenth
1:43:33
Speaker 5: this month when they don't get paid. But in the meantime,
1:43:37
Speaker 5: let me remind everybody what is on the table. The
1:43:40
Speaker 5: Republicans thought they could avoid a shutdown by completely surrendering. Okay,
1:43:46
Speaker 5: if they just passed Joe Biden's budget, that's exactly penny
1:43:51
Speaker 5: for penny. It's Joe Biden's budget, line for line. That's
1:43:54
Speaker 5: what the House representatives put on the floor. I didn't
1:43:57
Speaker 5: vote for it, and one other Republican did not vote
1:44:00
Speaker 5: for it, but it's still passed the House, it went
1:44:02
Speaker 5: to the Senate, and ironically, you have people Republicans who
1:44:06
Speaker 5: didn't vote for it when it was under Joe, when
1:44:10
Speaker 5: Joe Biden was president, but now that Donald Trump is president,
1:44:14
Speaker 5: they're voting for Joe Biden's budget. It's I'm literally one
1:44:17
Speaker 5: of the only members of Congress who hasn't flipped their
1:44:21
Speaker 5: vote on this. It needs to be the other vote
1:44:24
Speaker 5: right round.
1:44:25
Speaker 3: Because you're a you're a you're a fiscal hawk and
1:44:28
Speaker 3: of course a constitutional purists. And there's a reasons why
1:44:30
Speaker 3: you wouldn't want to extend Joe Biden's level funding. And
1:44:33
Speaker 3: I understand that all day long. But from a strategy standpoint,
1:44:36
Speaker 3: ignoring the side that you and I are both on,
1:44:40
Speaker 3: it does make sense to keep that Biden level because
1:44:43
Speaker 3: that satisfied the Democrats last year. And that's a wonderful
1:44:46
Speaker 3: talking point when you're trying to counter there oh my god,
1:44:49
Speaker 3: we're all going to die narrative that goes along with this,
1:44:51
Speaker 3: with this shutdown in the Republican cr And and let
1:44:55
Speaker 3: me tell.
1:44:56
Speaker 5: You something, just to be completely intellectually honest, Joe Biden's
1:45:00
Speaker 5: budget because of Joe Biden's inflation, If you do the
1:45:05
Speaker 5: same thing dollar for dollar, it's going to be about
1:45:08
Speaker 5: five percent less than it was last year because of inflation.
1:45:13
Speaker 5: But and so you might say, well, then, Congressman Matthew,
1:45:16
Speaker 5: why wouldn't you be inclined to vote for Joe Biden's
1:45:18
Speaker 5: spending levels since inflation will reduce this and solve the
1:45:22
Speaker 5: budget problem for you, Well, there's two reasons. One, spending
1:45:26
Speaker 5: is policy. It's it's not that we've spent one point
1:45:30
Speaker 5: five trillion under Joe Biden and we're going to spend
1:45:32
Speaker 5: one point five trillion under Trump. It's that every line
1:45:36
Speaker 5: item in there is exactly the same, including the things
1:45:39
Speaker 5: that we cut out in DOGE. Now, the DOGE cuts
1:45:42
Speaker 5: were only temporary, So what happens if Joe Biden's budget
1:45:46
Speaker 5: passes again. All of the stuff we cut out using
1:45:49
Speaker 5: DOGE goes back into the budget.
1:45:52
Speaker 6: So and then the.
1:45:53
Speaker 5: DEI stuff, that's all that's all going to be in there.
1:45:56
Speaker 5: So it's number one. Spending is policy when you do
1:45:59
Speaker 5: it line by line. If you said, well, Trump will
1:46:03
Speaker 5: spend exactly the same amount, diminished by inflation, but we'll
1:46:07
Speaker 5: move it around to different priorities, I might be able
1:46:10
Speaker 5: to get behind that. Now here's the other reason I'm
1:46:14
Speaker 5: not for Joe Biden's budget minus the five percent inflation
1:46:18
Speaker 5: because in the Big Beautiful Bill, which was supposed to
1:46:22
Speaker 5: only deal with mandatory spending, they added about four hundred
1:46:26
Speaker 5: billion dollars of discretionary spending. So they put appropriations in
1:46:31
Speaker 5: the Big Bill a few months ago on DOJ that's
1:46:37
Speaker 5: Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of Defense.
1:46:41
Speaker 5: So they've the Republicans have already plussed up spending, so
1:46:45
Speaker 5: that even if we passed Joe Biden's budget, which is
1:46:49
Speaker 5: what Mike Johnson wants to do and John Dune, even
1:46:53
Speaker 5: if we passed Joe Biden's budget, and even if we
1:46:55
Speaker 5: can account for inflation diminishing those dollar values, they've already
1:46:59
Speaker 5: plus stuff the budget a few months ago. And that's
1:47:02
Speaker 5: really what they won't tell you on the news. That's
1:47:04
Speaker 5: why the Democrats are mad they didn't get a plus
1:47:06
Speaker 5: up in their line items. And the usual deal wink wink,
1:47:10
Speaker 5: nod nod in Washington, DC is Republicans increase their spending
1:47:14
Speaker 5: and Democrats increase their spending, and that's how you get
1:47:17
Speaker 5: to sixty votes in the Senate. So that's why they're
1:47:20
Speaker 5: not voting for it. And then they're making up these
1:47:22
Speaker 5: other medical things. Those aren't fights. If the stuff expires
1:47:27
Speaker 5: in December, then that's when you have the fight in December.
1:47:29
Speaker 5: They're also trying to undo the fraud fixes that we
1:47:35
Speaker 5: put in the big beautiful bill to keep illegals from
1:47:38
Speaker 5: getting Medicaid and whatnot. The Democrats are trying to take
1:47:41
Speaker 5: that back out. But that's not the fight that you're
1:47:44
Speaker 5: supposed to have on these appropriations bills. These should be
1:47:47
Speaker 5: only the twelve spending bills, and you're right, we should
1:47:50
Speaker 5: be back in Washington working on them.
1:47:52
Speaker 3: And where they'll have another opportunity to do whatever the
1:47:55
Speaker 3: hell they want by way of policy or extending supplements
1:47:58
Speaker 3: for people who otherwise don't need it. Let's pausele bring
1:48:00
Speaker 3: Congressman Thomas Massey back at eight fifteen, right now fifty
1:48:03
Speaker 3: five ker CD talk Ryan Thomas and Congressman Thomas Massey,
1:48:09
Speaker 3: Congress A. Massy, you suggested, and I think at the
1:48:12
Speaker 3: foregone conclusion you are ultimately going to get your vote
1:48:14
Speaker 3: on the Epstein file release. And I always like to
1:48:17
Speaker 3: use this opportunity as a time to express my dismay
1:48:21
Speaker 3: that Trump did a one to eighty. I mean, he
1:48:23
Speaker 3: campaigned on releasing the stuff. A lot of Republicans were
1:48:25
Speaker 3: demanding it during the Biden administration. Democrats didn't bother pushing
1:48:29
Speaker 3: to release the documents when they had the opportunity to
1:48:31
Speaker 3: do so, but now they're clamoring to do it. I
1:48:34
Speaker 3: don't know what changed. Honestly, no one brings it up
1:48:36
Speaker 3: anymore except you this morning, for example. But once the
1:48:40
Speaker 3: government shutdown is over and people return to work and
1:48:44
Speaker 3: the recess is over, there's going to be a vote, right.
1:48:48
Speaker 5: Yeah, And the government shutdown doesn't have to be over.
1:48:51
Speaker 5: This is an Act of Congress that doesn't require funding.
1:48:54
Speaker 5: We can go back into session, and as soon as
1:48:57
Speaker 5: we do, there's a congresswoman named Grihalva who won her
1:49:02
Speaker 5: election two weeks ago who hasn't been sworn in. This
1:49:06
Speaker 5: is also unprecedented, speious things, but we're not in. But
1:49:11
Speaker 5: the reality is we have these pro forma sessions every
1:49:14
Speaker 5: four days to keep the House and the Senate from
1:49:17
Speaker 5: going into recess. Ironically, to keep President Trump from making
1:49:21
Speaker 5: recess appointments. I don't agree with it, but that's what
1:49:24
Speaker 5: they do. Every four days they meet, and they could
1:49:27
Speaker 5: swear this congresswoman in on one of these recess appointments,
1:49:30
Speaker 5: because they did that with two Republicans already this year.
1:49:33
Speaker 5: But the speaker's not doing it. So as soon as
1:49:35
Speaker 5: we get back. Now, this is what I'm telling you
1:49:39
Speaker 5: is predicated on an assumption that none of my three
1:49:44
Speaker 5: Republican co signers can be flipped by the White House,
1:49:48
Speaker 5: because the White House is trying desperately to get either
1:49:51
Speaker 5: Marjorie Taylor Green, Nancy Mace, or Lauren Bobert to take
1:49:55
Speaker 5: their names off of my petition. But who did they
1:50:00
Speaker 5: succeed in getting one of those women to take their
1:50:03
Speaker 5: names off the petition. There's another congressperson who will be
1:50:07
Speaker 5: elected in November who will be signing the discharge petition.
1:50:12
Speaker 5: So I don't know why they keep dragging this out,
1:50:15
Speaker 5: whether they just keep fighting to the bitter end. We
1:50:17
Speaker 5: should have the vote. They can try to stop me
1:50:20
Speaker 5: in the Senate, but they don't. Here's the thing, Briant,
1:50:24
Speaker 5: they don't even want to have the vote.
1:50:29
Speaker 3: Well, lots of red flags waved over that one. Just
1:50:31
Speaker 3: I mean, that just fuels the conspiracy theory narrative out there.
1:50:35
Speaker 3: And who are we protecting on this?
1:50:39
Speaker 5: Good? Good question, good question. So the victims' lawyers have
1:50:46
Speaker 5: indicated to me they are at least twenty men who
1:50:49
Speaker 5: Epstein trafficked women too, that they gave the names to
1:50:52
Speaker 5: the FBI, and the FBI recorded them, memorialized that in
1:50:56
Speaker 5: the three h two forms. So we know that the
1:50:59
Speaker 5: FBI has at least twenty names. I think six of
1:51:03
Speaker 5: them are billionaires. One of them is a movie producer,
1:51:07
Speaker 5: one is a former politician, one is a current person
1:51:10
Speaker 5: in government, one's a CEO. Like I don't know their names,
1:51:14
Speaker 5: but these are the indication that the victims lawyers have
1:51:17
Speaker 5: given to me. And the reason they don't put out
1:51:20
Speaker 5: the names is they would be sued into homelessness for defamation.
1:51:24
Speaker 5: The government doesn't pursue any of this if they can't,
1:51:28
Speaker 5: you get any of the evidence out there, and the
1:51:30
Speaker 5: government's in possession of it. So the government needs to
1:51:32
Speaker 5: release the names. But here's what I know. I know
1:51:36
Speaker 5: the president is trying to protect some top Republican donors
1:51:40
Speaker 5: and friends of his in West Palm Beach, and I
1:51:44
Speaker 5: will stand by that and go.
1:51:46
Speaker 6: To my grave on that.
1:51:48
Speaker 3: Well, that would explain it, wouldn't it. I mean that
1:51:51
Speaker 3: it's not right, but it certainly would make sense as
1:51:53
Speaker 3: to how he didn't why he did a one to eighty.
1:51:56
Speaker 5: And then the other question is, well, it's if the
1:52:01
Speaker 5: president's donors stand to lose in this white and Joe
1:52:04
Speaker 5: Biden and the Democrats pursue this when they were in power. Well,
1:52:08
Speaker 5: it's because once you get to the billionaire class, a
1:52:12
Speaker 5: lot of these billionaires are just members of the UNI party.
1:52:15
Speaker 5: They give to whichever parties in power. Who's ever having
1:52:18
Speaker 5: the best parties? How do you get to the Lincoln
1:52:21
Speaker 5: bedroom in the White House. So they give to both parties,
1:52:25
Speaker 5: and I think you're going to see men implicated who
1:52:30
Speaker 5: are friends and donors of both parties in this. And
1:52:34
Speaker 5: then also finally, this is the conspiracy theory, but there's
1:52:39
Speaker 5: a lot of weight to it. I introduced five documents
1:52:42
Speaker 5: into the record in front of cash Battel a few
1:52:44
Speaker 5: weeks ago in our judiciary hearing that indicate that Jeffrey
1:52:48
Speaker 5: Epstein was working with National Intelligence MASAD and the CIA.
1:52:56
Speaker 5: And I asked, I even asked cash Battel, have you
1:52:58
Speaker 5: seen the CIA five on Jeffrey Epstein? He has not so,
1:53:04
Speaker 5: and there is one. Now, why wouldn't he go look
1:53:09
Speaker 5: at that?
1:53:09
Speaker 3: Good questions?
1:53:10
Speaker 5: Well, you know he's allowed to go see that. You
1:53:13
Speaker 5: can't keep the director of the FBI because.
1:53:15
Speaker 3: He looks at it, He's going to have to answer
1:53:16
Speaker 3: your questions. He can just play ignorance. I don't want
1:53:19
Speaker 3: to see it because then I'll have to Then I'll say, yeah,
1:53:22
Speaker 3: I do know what's in there. Yeah that makes sense.
1:53:25
Speaker 5: I asked Cash Btelly, have you seen the three h
1:53:27
Speaker 5: two forms that the FBI filled out when the interviewed
1:53:29
Speaker 5: the victims. He's not seen them. No, he's trusting. His
1:53:32
Speaker 5: answer to me was he trusts that the people working
1:53:35
Speaker 5: at the FBI would have given him those names if
1:53:38
Speaker 5: they were credible evidence. And then my question is, do
1:53:42
Speaker 5: you not think the victims are credible? Like let's the
1:53:49
Speaker 5: Speaker of the House is trying to say that he's
1:53:52
Speaker 5: trying to protect the victims, but my legislation would redact
1:53:57
Speaker 5: their names in anything that could be used to identify
1:53:59
Speaker 5: them out of the files, and the victims themselves support
1:54:02
Speaker 5: my legislation.
1:54:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the big point right there. Yeah, that he's
1:54:06
Speaker 3: making an argument on their behalf that they don't want asserted. Wow, well,
1:54:11
Speaker 3: welcome to government. No kid in Congress, Amassi, Let me
1:54:14
Speaker 3: ask you a simple, straightforward question. Since Judge Ennatan Andrew
1:54:17
Speaker 3: Napoltan is up next and he's maybe listening but going
1:54:20
Speaker 3: to be commenting on this is an opinion from the
1:54:25
Speaker 3: Office of Legal Counsel within the Justice Department telling Donald
1:54:29
Speaker 3: Trump that he is allowed to authorize deadly force use
1:54:34
Speaker 3: against well Cartel's because they pose an eminent threat to Americans.
1:54:38
Speaker 3: Does a boat fifteen hundred miles away a small boat
1:54:42
Speaker 3: maybe goes fifteen to twenty knots Is that an eminent
1:54:44
Speaker 3: threat to the United States of America.
1:54:47
Speaker 5: I know somebody who worked in the Office of Legal
1:54:50
Speaker 5: Counsel under Nixon, under Reagan, and he's still alive, and
1:54:54
Speaker 5: he's in DC, and he advises me, and he says
1:54:57
Speaker 5: that department exists just to justify think the President wants.
1:55:04
Speaker 5: This man's testified in front of Congress on Iran contra,
1:55:08
Speaker 5: like he knows that the Office of Legal Counsel they
1:55:12
Speaker 5: sit over there constructing scaffolding that can go, you know,
1:55:15
Speaker 5: ten stories high, and it's built out of bamboo and
1:55:18
Speaker 5: lashed together with very weak legal arguments, and they just
1:55:22
Speaker 5: rely on Congress not challenging them.
1:55:26
Speaker 3: Well, that's kind of the answer I expected, Carson Thomas Massey.
1:55:30
Speaker 3: I appreciate the time you spoke my listeners of me
1:55:32
Speaker 3: providing some truth in a world where we desperately need
1:55:36
Speaker 3: to keep up the great work. I'll look forward today
1:55:38
Speaker 3: you return from recess and start working on the appropriation
1:55:41
Speaker 3: Bill's Congress, Massy, I'll look forward to having you back
1:55:43
Speaker 3: on the show real soon.
1:55:45
Speaker 5: Thank you, Brian, say hi to the judge for me.
1:55:47
Speaker 3: You just did eight twenty seven and fifty five case
1:55:49
Speaker 3: de talk station of the judge ended up all tanos up.
1:55:52
Speaker 3: Next subject, we're going to find out well when presidents
1:55:56
Speaker 3: kill among others.
1:55:57
Speaker 10: Because you're annual Mammograham with do you see how? Thanks
1:56:00
Speaker 10: perteen that's five one, three, five eighty four Pink North
1:56:03
Speaker 10: Bend two seventy five Cruis are working with an accident.
1:56:06
Speaker 10: Before you get towards corner, traffic remains heavy from before
1:56:09
Speaker 10: the Milford Parkway southbound seventy one break lights two seventy

1:56:24
Speaker 10: up next, the guest who's very happy this morning, Well
1:56:28
Speaker 10: because another judge powered is Yankees to a victory last night.
1:56:32
Speaker 10: They've got I need a couple more, but Judge Napp's
1:56:35
Speaker 10: next Chuck Ingram on fifty five KRC the talk station.
1:56:42
Speaker 3: Eight thirty two if you fi Krsity talk station, Well
1:56:46
Speaker 3: at least it wasn't goofy or wacky. That was a
1:56:48
Speaker 3: rather straightforward introduction. Welcome back to the fifty five KRC
1:56:51
Speaker 3: Morning Show, my friend, judg Enna Politano.
1:56:53
Speaker 7: Yes, yes it was. And I think, if I have
1:56:57
Speaker 7: this correct, a thirty eight year old old Italian from
1:57:01
Speaker 7: New Jersey will soon become the hero of the Cincinnati Bengals.
1:57:08
Speaker 2: So I have that right.
1:57:09
Speaker 3: You may maybe collectively we've written off the Cincinnati Bengals
1:57:13
Speaker 3: your honor. It's like, you want to be optimistic, but
1:57:16
Speaker 3: they give us no reason whatsoever to be optimistic. So
1:57:19
Speaker 3: maybe there is an element in there that's optimism.
1:57:21
Speaker 7: I feel sorry for Joe Burrow. He's such a talented kid,
1:57:26
Speaker 7: but he just keeps getting hurt. I run over and
1:57:29
Speaker 7: over again.
1:57:30
Speaker 3: Well, that came up in conversation early in the program,
1:57:33
Speaker 3: and I think we're blaming management, coaching staff, the owners
1:57:36
Speaker 3: for maybe not adequately protecting Joe Joe Burrow with a
1:57:41
Speaker 3: reasonably competent offensive line. But you know, we'll see how
1:57:46
Speaker 3: things play out over the long term, all right, And
1:57:49
Speaker 3: I love your column. I don't know if you heard
1:57:51
Speaker 3: me ask Congress from Massey about the Office of Legal
1:57:54
Speaker 3: Counsel and Department of Justice giving Donald Trump the keys
1:57:57
Speaker 3: to the American military when we face what he believes
1:57:59
Speaker 3: to be and emin and threat. Congress Amassy just basically
1:58:03
Speaker 3: said that that office is really designed to uphold literally
1:58:06
Speaker 3: anything the White House wants to do, regardless of administration.
1:58:09
Speaker 3: But I want to pause on that for a moment
1:58:11
Speaker 3: and ask you about what I thought was really I
1:58:15
Speaker 3: don't know orwellian the fact that that Donald or rather
1:58:20
Speaker 3: all these elected officials, seven senators and one member of
1:58:23
Speaker 3: the House of Representative, in this Arctic frost investigation launched
1:58:27
Speaker 3: by the FBI in connection with the January sixth riots,
1:58:31
Speaker 3: they got their phone records. We've talked about this kind
1:58:36
Speaker 3: of they have.
1:58:37
Speaker 7: They have nobody to blame but themselves, right, because the statute,
1:58:41
Speaker 7: the Electronic Privacy so called Electronic Privacy Act, you know,
1:58:45
Speaker 7: the name really is often the misnumber, permits FBI agents
1:58:50
Speaker 7: to get metadata. So it's who you called, when you called,
1:58:55
Speaker 7: and how long you spoke, it's not the actual conversation.
1:58:59
Speaker 7: I've been con this as a violation of the Fourth
1:59:02
Speaker 7: Amendment since it was first inactive. This is enacted by
1:59:05
Speaker 7: the Congress. They probably never imagined that it would happen
1:59:09
Speaker 7: to them. That doesn't make it moral and it doesn't
1:59:11
Speaker 7: make it constitutional, but it does make it legal. And
1:59:15
Speaker 7: to make it even worse, Brian, this does not require
1:59:20
Speaker 7: a search warrant signed by a judge. It can be
1:59:24
Speaker 7: done by one of two ways. A grand jury subpoena
1:59:28
Speaker 7: and a good prosecutor can get a grand jury to
1:59:30
Speaker 7: subpoena anything, or a national security letter CHIE. What is
1:59:34
Speaker 7: a National Security letter Patrade Act. That's where one FBI
1:59:40
Speaker 7: agent authorizes another FBI agent to issue a search warrant
1:59:46
Speaker 7: on stored records at your lawyer's office, your doctor's office,
1:59:52
Speaker 7: your telecom, your computer Serverson that I don't blame is
2:00:00
Speaker 7: and I frequently disagree with him. As Senator Holly, he
2:00:03
Speaker 7: was outraged he was not in the Senate when this
2:00:07
Speaker 7: legislation was enacted, but almost everybody else on that committee
2:00:10
Speaker 7: yesterday was in both parties. In fact, the chair that's
2:00:15
Speaker 7: been in the center for thirty years was around when
2:00:17
Speaker 7: the original legislation was enacted.
2:00:21
Speaker 3: I'm glad you framed it that way. I had a
2:00:23
Speaker 3: student listener call and point out the exact same thing.
2:00:25
Speaker 3: Republicans or anybody who voted for that, has nobody blamed
2:00:28
Speaker 3: for themselves for the fact that it's being used against
2:00:30
Speaker 3: them in this particular case, question of whose ox is
2:00:33
Speaker 3: being gord, I suppose.
2:00:35
Speaker 7: Right nobody's ox should be gored. They should follow the
2:00:38
Speaker 7: Fourth Amendment. If Jack Smith had probable cause to believe
2:00:43
Speaker 7: that there was evidence of a crime and a conversation
2:00:46
Speaker 7: between I'm just going to use this hypothetically. I don't
2:00:48
Speaker 7: know if the conversation happened Senator Josh Holly and President
2:00:53
Speaker 7: Trump on January fifth or January sixth. He goes to
2:00:56
Speaker 7: a federal judge, presents the evidence, and if the judge agrees,
2:00:59
Speaker 7: he signed a search warrant. Short of that, not neither
2:01:03
Speaker 7: Jack Smith nor any prosecutor, under any circumstances has the
2:01:07
Speaker 7: right to surveil communications. But the Congress has butchered that
2:01:11
Speaker 7: in a series of legislation, going back to legislative acts
2:01:16
Speaker 7: going back to before nine to eleven. I believe it
2:01:18
Speaker 7: or not, what left wing pinko creep signed the first
2:01:23
Speaker 7: of these laws allowing the government to get your.
2:01:27
Speaker 3: Bank records George Bush right, Ronald Rayel.
2:01:32
Speaker 7: Nineteen eighty six. So this stuff goes way back. It
2:01:37
Speaker 7: was of course accelerated after nine to eleven. After nine
2:01:40
Speaker 7: to eleven, you have the Patriot Act and a swell
2:01:43
Speaker 7: of amendments to it, every single one of which makes
2:01:46
Speaker 7: surveillance without a search warrant easier. But the original damage
2:01:51
Speaker 7: was done in nineteen eighty six under the so called
2:01:53
Speaker 7: Bank Privacy Act, which gave the FEDS the right to
2:02:02
Speaker 7: look at banking information when you deposited more than ten
2:02:06
Speaker 7: thousand dollars in one deposits. That's what opened up these floodgates.
2:02:11
Speaker 3: And when you frame it that way, I just scratched
2:02:14
Speaker 3: my head and wonder, why, what possible? I mean, well,
2:02:17
Speaker 3: what cartels are using in drug dealers and utilizing so.
2:02:21
Speaker 7: In those days. In those days, we were at the
2:02:24
Speaker 7: tail end of the drug wars, which had destroyed the
2:02:29
Speaker 7: Fourth Amendment. And fear of drug dealers is what animated
2:02:33
Speaker 7: Congress Post nine to eleven. Of course, it is fear
2:02:36
Speaker 7: of terrorism, and what is it now? Whatever Donald Trump says,
2:02:42
Speaker 7: it is fear of immigrants, fear of narco terrorists, fear
2:02:47
Speaker 7: of whatever you want to be afraid of. In terms
2:02:49
Speaker 7: of what Congressman Massy said, I had an internet problem
2:02:52
Speaker 7: on my previous gig and I was not able to
2:02:55
Speaker 7: jump on. Of course, I agree with everything he says,
2:02:57
Speaker 7: but the Office of Legal Counsel was once the DOJ's lawyers.
2:03:02
Speaker 7: You'll know the names of two people who in their
2:03:05
Speaker 7: younger days ran the Office of Legal Counsel. One of
2:03:08
Speaker 7: them is named William Rehnquist and the other is named
2:03:12
Speaker 7: Antonin Scalia. These were truly the brightest stars in the DOJ.
2:03:19
Speaker 7: They told the DOJ the law as they understood that
2:03:23
Speaker 7: they were impervious to politics no longer today. I am
2:03:27
Speaker 7: dying to see this so called secret memorandum that she has.
2:03:30
Speaker 7: How can analysis of a public law possibly be secret?
2:03:36
Speaker 3: I know I was gonna ask you about that. He's
2:03:39
Speaker 3: not gonna reveal the memo to the general public, even
2:03:41
Speaker 3: though CNN is widely reported on it. But emminent threat
2:03:47
Speaker 3: isn't that a rather subjective measure when it comes to
2:03:50
Speaker 3: determined whether they're going to use military force. And I
2:03:53
Speaker 3: go back to the boats he's blown up. I don't
2:03:54
Speaker 3: like drugs. I don't want him in in the United States.
2:03:57
Speaker 3: But you know that's what we have a coastguard for
2:03:59
Speaker 3: if they get close to us, that we can pick
2:04:01
Speaker 3: them up in process.
2:04:02
Speaker 7: How could four guys in a speedboat fifteen hundred miles
2:04:07
Speaker 7: from the US unarmed or maybe with just small arms,
2:04:11
Speaker 7: you know, handguns, possibly be considered an eminent threat to
2:04:14
Speaker 7: the national security of the United States. The answer is
2:04:19
Speaker 7: they can't. And even if they were an eminent threat,
2:04:22
Speaker 7: it would make much more sense to arrest them, search
2:04:26
Speaker 7: the boat if there's drugs there, seize the assets, and
2:04:31
Speaker 7: then engage in plean negotiations with one of them to
2:04:36
Speaker 7: find out where the drugs came from and who their
2:04:39
Speaker 7: sources are. There are ways to accomplish these goals without
2:04:44
Speaker 7: murdering people.
2:04:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, no question about it. Go about the normal course
2:04:48
Speaker 3: of business. Pick them up. They obviously can have committed
2:04:50
Speaker 3: a crime. Look, it's a drug, vote drug, it's a
2:04:53
Speaker 3: boat full of drugs. That's against law. You're in our
2:04:56
Speaker 3: territory of waters. You're going to be subject to prosecution.
2:04:58
Speaker 3: I die anyhow. It's just troubling from my perspective, and
2:05:02
Speaker 3: I worry. You know a lot of my listeners. I
2:05:04
Speaker 3: think I hate drug dealers. I don't care that they
2:05:06
Speaker 3: blew out. I don't care if it violates constitution. Well
2:05:08
Speaker 3: I do, because somebody else is going to be in
2:05:11
Speaker 3: office someday. Yeah, and they may decide that some organization
2:05:14
Speaker 3: that we don't believe necessarily represents an eminent THREATSCA starts
2:05:17
Speaker 3: getting bombed because of their political ideology or their geopolitical
2:05:21
Speaker 3: ideology or whatever have you. It's so low a standard.
2:05:24
Speaker 3: And we're talking about America's military here at minimum. And
2:05:27
Speaker 3: you and I, I think agree on this point. We
2:05:29
Speaker 3: don't believe authorizations for use of military force quite cut
2:05:33
Speaker 3: the constitutional declaration of war standard. But at least get
2:05:36
Speaker 3: Congress to agree with you and say, yes, you're right,
2:05:40
Speaker 3: we stamp of approval, authorize you some military force because
2:05:44
Speaker 3: we believe this to be an eminent threat. We can
2:05:45
Speaker 3: hash that out right right.
2:05:49
Speaker 7: It's very, very dangerous. I got a little alarmist and
2:05:54
Speaker 7: hyperbolic at the end of my column saying, who are
2:05:57
Speaker 7: they going to shoot next? Drug dealers in Chicago?
2:06:00
Speaker 5: Go?
2:06:00
Speaker 7: But their logic for killing people before they commit crime
2:06:06
Speaker 7: is the same logic we could out outside the territory
2:06:10
Speaker 7: of waders of the United States. Is the same logic
2:06:13
Speaker 7: that they could apply to people inside the United States.
2:06:17
Speaker 7: By the way, how can it be a federal crime
2:06:19
Speaker 7: even if they were carrying drugs from Caracas to some
2:06:24
Speaker 7: island off the coast of Caracas. What business of the
2:06:28
Speaker 7: federal government is that does federal law apply everywhere on
2:06:34
Speaker 7: the planet.
2:06:36
Speaker 3: Don't tell them that they may get that idea. You're Honor,
2:06:39
Speaker 3: and we'll start bombing targets all over the world without
2:06:41
Speaker 3: with reckless abandon judg Jenna Politano, Logic. Reason is always
2:06:45
Speaker 3: on the plate when we talk with you, and I
2:06:47
Speaker 3: appreciate the willingness to come on the program every week
2:06:49
Speaker 3: and have these great conversations.
2:06:51
Speaker 7: Right Bryan, It's my favorite morning, and I love being
2:06:55
Speaker 7: able to chat with you no matter what the Yankees
2:06:58
Speaker 7: or the Reds or the Bengals. To even mention this
2:07:01
Speaker 7: the football team New York Giants are doing, it.
2:07:05
Speaker 3: Was a strain for you to get those words out
2:07:07
Speaker 3: real quick. Judging Freedom is his weather or is podcast?
2:07:11
Speaker 3: W are you gonna be speaking with today?
2:07:12
Speaker 2: You're Honor?
2:07:12
Speaker 7: About eleven this morning Eastern I have the great Colonel
2:07:15
Speaker 7: Douglas McGregor. Colonel McGregor and I spent a weekend together
2:07:18
Speaker 7: giving this past weekend in a beautiful place in the
2:07:21
Speaker 7: United States, Dallas, Texas, where we were well received by
2:07:25
Speaker 7: the people to whom we spoke. But he's warning that
2:07:29
Speaker 7: war with Iran is imminent, and he's going to describe American,
2:07:34
Speaker 7: not Israeli American preparations for that war. Does Iran pose
2:07:39
Speaker 7: a threat to the national security of the United States?
2:07:43
Speaker 7: Not one bit, But we're getting ready.
2:07:46
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a fascinating conversation, if not troubling judginga
2:07:49
Speaker 3: paulatonom Until next Wednesday. God bless you, sir, have a
2:07:52
Speaker 3: great week.
2:07:53
Speaker 7: Thank you, Brian, all the best.
2:07:54
Speaker 3: Take care, my friend. It's a forty three right now.
2:07:56
Speaker 3: If you have KS the talk station Gate of Heaven anyway,
2:07:58
Speaker 3: fifty fought CASS dot com you get a chance to
2:08:00
Speaker 3: listen to the Big Picture with Jack addid In this morning.
2:08:02
Speaker 3: Little technical difficulties during that as well, but we got
2:08:06
Speaker 3: through it. The Communist NFL which he was able to
2:08:09
Speaker 3: link to the education system amazingly. That's what we get
2:08:13
Speaker 3: from Jack adid In. Pretty amazing commentary as always, Donovan
2:08:16
Speaker 3: and Neil, a whole bunch of stuff you and I
2:08:18
Speaker 3: can help with to make government work and to make
2:08:23
Speaker 3: government work dot com. Five specific bills are identified there,
2:08:26
Speaker 3: like the Rains Act and the Keep Government Open Act,
2:08:30
Speaker 3: and they really would go a long long way to
2:08:34
Speaker 3: accomplish some efficiency and getting rid of fraud, waste and
2:08:37
Speaker 3: abuse in government, so action item right there for you,
2:08:40
Speaker 3: and I link at fifty five cares dot com. Of course,
2:08:43
Speaker 3: Congressman Massi on the shutdown and its connection maybe with
2:08:46
Speaker 3: the Epstein files. Wow, red flag all over that, and
2:08:51
Speaker 3: of course Judge Jennna Politano fifty five cares dot com
2:08:54
Speaker 3: get tryheart Metia ampire over there as well. I started
2:08:56
Speaker 3: out the Morning show talking about this it we have
2:09:00
Speaker 3: a choice here, flipped the natty, says Corey Bowman. Corey
2:09:03
Speaker 3: Bowman running from Mary. He's a pretty darn good guy,
2:09:05
Speaker 3: and I've talked to him a whole bunch of times
2:09:06
Speaker 3: on the Morning Show, as you know if you listen regularly,
2:09:09
Speaker 3: and not once, not once, has he ever tried to
2:09:14
Speaker 3: hang his hat on the fact that he is the
2:09:16
Speaker 3: half brother of JD Vans, vice president of JD Vance's
2:09:19
Speaker 3: half brother, which is constantly, constantly the drum beat from
2:09:22
Speaker 3: the media. He's got, really, I mean, other than a
2:09:26
Speaker 3: partial bloodline connection. He's running to serve the city of
2:09:30
Speaker 3: Cincinnati residence and he's very clear on that all residents.
2:09:34
Speaker 3: He's not springing from particularly right wing perspective. He just
2:09:39
Speaker 3: realizes that we have priorities in the city and keeping
2:09:42
Speaker 3: roads paved and cracking down on crime, seeing that criminals
2:09:47
Speaker 3: are held accountable to create a better environment for you
2:09:50
Speaker 3: and me. Cutting out all the green New Deal woke
2:09:54
Speaker 3: stuff that we can't afford, even if it was it
2:09:57
Speaker 3: was going to do something. And to anybody out there
2:10:03
Speaker 3: that thinks that city taxpayer money should go toward green projects,
2:10:07
Speaker 3: ask yourself, what the hell can the city of Cincinnati
2:10:10
Speaker 3: alone accomplish doing this. They're not doing it Warren County.
2:10:14
Speaker 3: They're not doing in Butler County. They're not doing it
2:10:15
Speaker 3: in Claremont County. They're not doing it in Newport, they're
2:10:17
Speaker 3: not doing it in Covington. I could go on, probably
2:10:21
Speaker 3: because maybe they don't have the financial resources to accomplish
2:10:24
Speaker 3: some carbon neutrality exercise or green energy production exercise, but
2:10:29
Speaker 3: because maybe they practically say, gee, well, we're all breathing
2:10:31
Speaker 3: the same air. It's one big globe they are circulating.
2:10:34
Speaker 3: And everything the entire country has done in the name
2:10:37
Speaker 3: of carbon or cutting back carbon dioxide aka plant food
2:10:41
Speaker 3: hasn't done a wit to reduce the amount of carbon
2:10:43
Speaker 3: dioxide in the environment. Thanks to China and India and
2:10:46
Speaker 3: Turkey and other very large producers of greenhouse gases, which
2:10:53
Speaker 3: I personally believe. Carbon dioxide is a plutant to naturally
2:10:56
Speaker 3: occurring phenomenon. The plants need to live, so it occurs
2:10:58
Speaker 3: in the nature natural environment. It's critical for the functioning
2:11:02
Speaker 3: of the planet. So what in the hell is the
2:11:08
Speaker 3: city getting involved with something that, even if they achieve
2:11:11
Speaker 3: their long term objectives and they could wave a flag
2:11:14
Speaker 3: saying we're carbon neutral in Cincinnati, what's it going to
2:11:17
Speaker 3: do for everybody in the world. Nothing, so long winded
2:11:21
Speaker 3: way of saying that's I think that's backcrap in sanity
2:11:24
Speaker 3: from the left. Do we want to allocate that as
2:11:26
Speaker 3: a priority? I think that Corey Bowman would not, Well,
2:11:30
Speaker 3: wait till after we get the roads fixed, Wait till
2:11:32
Speaker 3: after we get these big projects over with, Wait till
2:11:35
Speaker 3: after we get the crime situation ironed out. Wait till
2:11:39
Speaker 3: after we bring more investments by lowering the regulatory burden
2:11:43
Speaker 3: and getting things built and things accomplished. I mean, he's
2:11:46
Speaker 3: hit the nail on the head of all the problems
2:11:48
Speaker 3: the city has created, most notably created intentionally, I suppose,
2:11:54
Speaker 3: making it more difficult for us to live, thrive, and
2:11:56
Speaker 3: survive in the city. So what has that got to
2:11:58
Speaker 3: do with Jade Evans literally nothing head line from Scott
2:12:00
Speaker 3: Warman in the Inquire in Cincinnati. Jd Vance's half brother
2:12:04
Speaker 3: hopes for a political earthquake in mayoral race. That's the headline.
2:12:08
Speaker 3: Didn't we put Corey Bowman in the headline this time around?
2:12:13
Speaker 3: The Republican Kennedy mentions wins through Presidia since Nat Mayor
2:12:16
Speaker 3: happens to be Vice President jd Vance's half brother. And
2:12:20
Speaker 3: then two paragraphs into the article he finally mentions Corey
2:12:24
Speaker 3: Bowman and not the only time he mentions jd Vance's
2:12:31
Speaker 3: half brother. I think he's brought up three or four
2:12:36
Speaker 3: times in the article. And of course the article concludes
2:12:38
Speaker 3: making the point again to the extent you didn't get
2:12:40
Speaker 3: it from the headline or in the body of reporting.
2:12:43
Speaker 3: There it is at the close. But it's Bowman's family
2:12:47
Speaker 3: that has drawn much of the attention. His half brother
2:12:50
Speaker 3: is Vice President jd Vance. That sentence, well, the beginning
2:12:56
Speaker 3: of my favorite hour radio we get to hear from
2:12:58
Speaker 3: Congress Omon by judging Paula Tis right now, jus tractor
2:13:03
Speaker 3: gave him the heads up that conclude you'd be on
2:13:06
Speaker 3: the program right now. Welcome back, my friends. Do you
2:13:08
Speaker 3: think that's been the dominant subject matter.
2:13:10
Speaker 5: Scott, Great, To be honest, I'd rather be in DC,
2:13:13
Speaker 5: but Speaker Johnston doesn't want us to come back.
2:13:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, I I you'd rather be in DC. You're not
2:13:21
Speaker 3: in d C, which you anticipated one of what was
2:13:23
Speaker 3: going to be one of my questions about this shutdown. Yes,
2:13:26
Speaker 3: we're in the middle of a shutdown. No, the Democrats
2:13:28
Speaker 3: will not agree to continuing to operate at the levels
2:13:31
Speaker 3: that they created last year. It's the Biden level spending
2:13:34
Speaker 3: that the Republicans passed over your objection, and I understand
2:13:36
Speaker 3: that with the continuing resolution. Uh, they can't complain about
2:13:41
Speaker 3: cuts the government anything. They're just trying to keep it
2:13:42
Speaker 3: open and keep us hostage, although none of my listening
2:13:46
Speaker 3: audience feels hostage. Congressman Massy the oldest hostage. So they
2:13:50
Speaker 3: can continue COVID era premium supplements under Obamacare, I mean
2:13:54
Speaker 3: COVID's over. They put the deadline of December of twenty
2:13:58
Speaker 3: twenty five in the legislation extending these benefits. They knew
2:14:01
Speaker 3: this was coming, obviously, this is a pretext shutdown for
2:14:05
Speaker 3: them to continue along the path of bringing us basically
2:14:08
Speaker 3: medicaid for all under the Obamacare umbrella. Am I on
2:14:11
Speaker 3: the right path Congress from messy?
2:14:14
Speaker 2: Yes?
2:14:16
Speaker 5: Let me back up before we unpack all of that. So,
2:14:18
Speaker 5: not only are we in a shutdown, we're in a recess.
2:14:22
Speaker 5: And this is interesting because usually during a shutdown, Congress
2:14:26
Speaker 5: is in session.
2:14:27
Speaker 3: There you go.
2:14:28
Speaker 5: But the Speaker, Johnson has decided politically it's better for
2:14:33
Speaker 5: us not to be in town now. He says, the
2:14:35
Speaker 5: reason is he doesn't want the Democrats doing dilatory things
2:14:39
Speaker 5: on the floor, maybe making motions or whatnot. But the
2:14:43
Speaker 5: reality is, if he were to call us back today,
2:14:47
Speaker 5: he would have to swear in the two hundred and
2:14:49
Speaker 5: eighteenth signature on my Epstein petition and we could force
2:14:54
Speaker 5: a vote on releasing the Epstein file.
2:14:57
Speaker 2: What is that?
2:14:57
Speaker 3: What this is about?
2:15:00
Speaker 5: This is I'm calling it. Okay, it may be the
2:15:02
Speaker 5: Schumer shut down, but it's the Epstein recess, is what
2:15:06
Speaker 5: it is.
2:15:09
Speaker 3: But wait to say. Okay, we're gonna get dive into
2:15:11
Speaker 3: more of the details on this one. But my question
2:15:15
Speaker 3: to you is going to be, and I just was
2:15:17
Speaker 3: putting the recess reality in the back of my mind.
2:15:19
Speaker 3: If you if the government shut down, that doesn't stop
2:15:22
Speaker 3: you or the Senate from working on the twelve appropriations bills,
2:15:25
Speaker 3: which is the reason you're doing the CR to keep
2:15:28
Speaker 3: the government open until the middle of November, because the
2:15:30
Speaker 3: way we're doing it right now, it's going to be
2:15:31
Speaker 3: shut down up until the deadline that's in the CR.
2:15:37
Speaker 5: You can't open the government back down if Congress shut
2:15:39
Speaker 5: it down, and Congress is not in session. So it's
2:15:43
Speaker 5: I mean, I understand, I understand his excuse, but I
2:15:47
Speaker 5: think it's it's just an excuse, and I think we
2:15:51
Speaker 5: should be in Washington, d C. In the event that
2:15:55
Speaker 5: the Senate does come to some agreement, then the House
2:15:58
Speaker 5: could act immediately. But he's trying to basically jam the
2:16:02
Speaker 5: Senate because the House already passed the CR, and then
2:16:06
Speaker 5: the Senate's sitting there and they're just having new votes
2:16:09
Speaker 5: on that same CR to try to get more Democrats
2:16:12
Speaker 5: to fold. People ask me when will the shutdown end,
2:16:16
Speaker 5: and I will tell you it ends the way it
2:16:19
Speaker 5: always ends. It ends when one side's polling shows that
2:16:24
Speaker 5: they're taking a butt whipping in public opinion and then
2:16:28
Speaker 5: they come to the table and.
2:16:32
Speaker 3: Give in.
2:16:33
Speaker 5: So right now, neither side has a clear indication that
2:16:38
Speaker 5: they're losing. The messaging war, So we're going to be
2:16:42
Speaker 5: in a shutdown for a while. I believe the next
2:16:46
Speaker 5: big milestone is the middle of this month, which is
2:16:50
Speaker 5: when government employees that get paid five monthly twice a month.
2:16:55
Speaker 5: That is going to be the big show down there now,
2:16:58
Speaker 5: most not well a majority of government workers are probably Democrats.
2:17:03
Speaker 5: I know a lot of good Republicans who work for
2:17:06
Speaker 5: the government, but I would say a majority of them,
2:17:09
Speaker 5: especially in DC, are Democrats. So the interesting thing is
2:17:12
Speaker 5: going to be what they don't get their next paycheck. Now,
2:17:16
Speaker 5: the reality is, I don't mean to sound callous or
2:17:18
Speaker 5: to diminish this, but the credit unions will give anybody
2:17:25
Speaker 5: who's a member of the credit union at advance on
2:17:27
Speaker 5: their paycheck because they know that I'm talking about the
2:17:30
Speaker 5: Federal credit union right, because they know they're going to
2:17:34
Speaker 5: get paid. There's never the employees who are whether they're
2:17:38
Speaker 5: essential or non essential, they will all get paid when
2:17:42
Speaker 5: the shutdown is over. That's the way it's been with
2:17:44
Speaker 5: every shutdown. And knowing that the federal credit unions will
2:17:49
Speaker 5: give the paycheck to any federal employee advance it without interest.
2:17:55
Speaker 3: It's a safe risk.
2:17:56
Speaker 5: But yeah, but it still makes it's still going to
2:17:59
Speaker 5: be and not everybody's in a credit union, and it's
2:18:02
Speaker 5: still going to make a talking point on the fifteenth
2:18:06
Speaker 5: this month when they don't get paid. But in the meantime,
2:18:09
Speaker 5: let me remind everybody what is on the table. The
2:18:13
Speaker 5: Republicans thought they could avoid a shutdown by completely surrendering. Okay,
2:18:19
Speaker 5: they just passed Joe Biden's budget. That's exactly penny for penny.
2:18:24
Speaker 5: It's Joe Biden's budget, line for line, that's what the
2:18:27
Speaker 5: House representatives put on the floor. I didn't vote for it,
2:18:30
Speaker 5: and one other Republican did not vote for it, but
2:18:32
Speaker 5: it's still passed the House. It went to the Senate,
2:18:35
Speaker 5: and ironically, you have people Republicans who didn't vote for
2:18:39
Speaker 5: it when it was under when Joe Biden was president,
2:18:44
Speaker 5: but now that Donald Trump is president, they're voting for
2:18:47
Speaker 5: Joe Biden's budgets. I'm literally one of the only members
2:18:51
Speaker 5: of Congress who hasn't flipped their vote on this. It
2:18:55
Speaker 5: used to be the other vote right round.
2:18:57
Speaker 3: Because you're a you're a fiscal hau and of course
2:19:00
Speaker 3: the constitutional purists, and those are reasons why you wouldn't
2:19:03
Speaker 3: want to extend Joe Biden's level funding. And I understand
2:19:06
Speaker 3: that all day long. But from a strategy standpoint, ignoring
2:19:10
Speaker 3: the de side that you and I are both on,
2:19:12
Speaker 3: it does make sense to keep that Biden level because
2:19:15
Speaker 3: that satisfied the Democrats last year. And that's a wonderful
2:19:18
Speaker 3: talking point when you're trying to counter their oh my god,
2:19:21
Speaker 3: we're all going to die narrative that goes along with
2:19:23
Speaker 3: this shutdown in the Republican cr.
2:19:27
Speaker 5: And let me tell you something, just to be completely
2:19:30
Speaker 5: intellectually honest, Joe Biden's budget because of Joe Biden's inflation.
2:19:36
Speaker 5: If you do the same thing dollar for dollar, it's
2:19:39
Speaker 5: going to be about five percent less than it was
2:19:41
Speaker 5: last year because of inflation. But and so you might say, well,
2:19:47
Speaker 5: then Congress and Matthew, why wouldn't you be inclined to
2:19:50
Speaker 5: vote for Joe Biden's spending levels since inflation will reduce
2:19:53
Speaker 5: this and solve the budget problem for you. Well, there's
2:19:57
Speaker 5: two reasons.
2:19:58
Speaker 2: One.
2:19:58
Speaker 5: Spending is policy. It's it's not that we've spent one
2:20:02
Speaker 5: point five trillion under Joe Biden and we're going to
2:20:04
Speaker 5: spend one point five trillion under Trump. It's that every
2:20:08
Speaker 5: line item in there is exactly the same, including the
2:20:11
Speaker 5: things that we cut out in DOGE. Now, the DOGE
2:20:14
Speaker 5: cuts were only temporary, So what happens if Joe Biden's
2:20:18
Speaker 5: budget passes again, All of the stuff we cut out
2:20:21
Speaker 5: using DOGE goes back into the budget.
2:20:24
Speaker 6: So and then the.
2:20:25
Speaker 5: DEI stuff, that's all that's all going to be in there.
2:20:29
Speaker 5: So it's number one. Spending is policy when you do
2:20:32
Speaker 5: it line by line. If you said, well, Trump will
2:20:36
Speaker 5: spend exactly the same amount, diminished by inflation, but we'll
2:20:39
Speaker 5: move it around to different priorities, I might be able
2:20:42
Speaker 5: to get behind that. Now here's the other reason I'm
2:20:46
Speaker 5: not for Joe Biden's budget minus the five percent inflation
2:20:51
Speaker 5: because in the Big Beautiful Bill, which was supposed to
2:20:55
Speaker 5: only deal with mandatory spending, they added about four hundred
2:20:59
Speaker 5: billion dollars of discretionary spending. So they put appropriations in
2:21:04
Speaker 5: the Big Bill a few months ago on DOJ that's
2:21:09
Speaker 5: Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of Defense.
2:21:13
Speaker 5: So they the Republicans have already plussed up spending. So
2:21:18
Speaker 5: that even if we passed Joe Biden's budget, which is
2:21:21
Speaker 5: what Mike Johnson wants to do, and John dune. Even
2:21:25
Speaker 5: if we passed Joe Biden's budget, and even if we
2:21:27
Speaker 5: can account for inflation diminishing those dollar values, they've already
2:21:32
Speaker 5: plussed up the budget a few months ago, and that's
2:21:34
Speaker 5: really what they won't tell you on the news. That's
2:21:36
Speaker 5: why the Democrats are mad. They didn't get a plus
2:21:39
Speaker 5: up in their line items. And the usual deal wink wink,
2:21:42
Speaker 5: nod nod in Washington, DC is Republicans increased their spending
2:21:46
Speaker 5: and Democrats increased their spending, and that's how you get
2:21:49
Speaker 5: to sixty votes in the Senate. So that's why they're
2:21:52
Speaker 5: not voting for it. And then they're making up these
2:21:55
Speaker 5: other medical things. Those aren't fights. If the stuff expires
2:21:59
Speaker 5: into December, then that's when you have the fight in December.
2:22:02
Speaker 5: They're also trying to undo the fraud fixes that we
2:22:07
Speaker 5: put in the big beautiful bill to keep illegals from
2:22:10
Speaker 5: getting Medicaid and whatnot. The Democrats are trying to take
2:22:14
Speaker 5: that back out. But that's not the fight that you're
2:22:16
Speaker 5: supposed to have on these appropriations bills. This should be
2:22:20
Speaker 5: only the twelve spending bills, and you're right, we should
2:22:22
Speaker 5: be back in Washington working on them.
2:22:24
Speaker 3: And where they'll have another opportunity to do whatever the
2:22:27
Speaker 3: hell they want by way of policy or extending supplements
2:22:30
Speaker 3: for people who otherwise don't need it. Let's pause. Bring
2:22:33
Speaker 3: Congressman Thomas Massey back at eight fifteen, right now fifty
2:22:35
Speaker 3: five Kerr CD talk Ryan Thomas and Congressman Thomas Massey.
2:22:42
Speaker 2: Congress A.
2:22:42
Speaker 3: Massy, you suggested, and I think at the foregone conclusion
2:22:45
Speaker 3: you are ultimately going to get your vote on the
2:22:47
Speaker 3: Epstein file release. And I always like to use this
2:22:50
Speaker 3: opportunity as a time to express my dismay that Trump
2:22:54
Speaker 3: did a one to eighty. I mean, he campaigned on
2:22:56
Speaker 3: releasing the stuff. A lot of Republicans were demanding it
2:22:58
Speaker 3: during the Biden administration, Democrats and bother pushing to release
2:23:02
Speaker 3: the documents when they had the opportunity to do so.
2:23:04
Speaker 3: But now they're clamoring to do it. I don't know
2:23:06
Speaker 3: what changed. Honestly, no one brings it up anymore except
2:23:10
Speaker 3: you this morning, for example. But once the government shutdown
2:23:13
Speaker 3: is over and people return to work and the recess
2:23:17
Speaker 3: is over, there's going to be a vote, right.
2:23:20
Speaker 5: Yeah, And the government shutdown doesn't have to be over.
2:23:23
Speaker 5: This is an act of Congress that doesn't require funding.
2:23:26
Speaker 5: We can go back into session, and as soon as
2:23:29
Speaker 5: we do, there's a congresswoman named Grihalva who won her
2:23:35
Speaker 5: election two weeks ago who hasn't been sworn in. This
2:23:38
Speaker 5: is also unprecedented, spigious thing that we're not in. But
2:23:44
Speaker 5: the reality is we have these pro format sessions every
2:23:46
Speaker 5: four days to keep the House and the Senate from
2:23:49
Speaker 5: going into recess, ironically, to keep President Trump from making
2:23:53
Speaker 5: recess appointments. I don't agree with it, but that's what
2:23:57
Speaker 5: they do. Every four days they meet, and they could
2:23:59
Speaker 5: swear this congresswoman in on one of these recess appointments,
2:24:02
Speaker 5: because they did that with two Republicans already this year,
2:24:05
Speaker 5: but the Speaker's not doing it. So as soon as
2:24:08
Speaker 5: we get back now, this is what I'm telling you
2:24:11
Speaker 5: is predicated on an assumption that none of my three
2:24:16
Speaker 5: Republican co signers can be flipped by the White House,
2:24:20
Speaker 5: because the White House is trying desperately to get either
2:24:24
Speaker 5: Marjorie Taylor Green, Nancy Mace, or Lauren Bobert to take
2:24:27
Speaker 5: their names off of my petition. But should they succeed
2:24:33
Speaker 5: in getting one of those women to take their names
2:24:35
Speaker 5: off the petition, there's another congressperson who will be elected
2:24:40
Speaker 5: in November who will be signing the discharge petition. So
2:24:45
Speaker 5: I don't know why they keep dragging this out, whether
2:24:48
Speaker 5: they just keep fighting to the bitter end. We should
2:24:50
Speaker 5: have the vote. They can try to stop me in
2:24:53
Speaker 5: the Senate, but they do. Here's the thing, Briant, they
2:24:56
Speaker 5: don't even want to have the vote.
2:25:01
Speaker 3: Well, lots of red flags waved over that one. Just
2:25:04
Speaker 3: I mean, that just fuels the conspiracy theory narrative out there.
2:25:08
Speaker 3: And who are we protecting on this?
2:25:11
Speaker 5: Good? Good question, good question. So the victims' lawyers have
2:25:18
Speaker 5: indicated to me they are at least twenty men who
2:25:21
Speaker 5: Epstein trafficked women to that they gave the names to
2:25:25
Speaker 5: the FBI, and the FBI recorded them, memorialized that in
2:25:28
Speaker 5: there three h two forms. So we know that the
2:25:31
Speaker 5: FBI has at least twenty names. I think six of
2:25:35
Speaker 5: them are billionaires, one of them is a movie producer,
2:25:39
Speaker 5: one is a former politician, one is a current person
2:25:42
Speaker 5: in government, one's a CEO. Like I don't know their names,
2:25:46
Speaker 5: but these are the indication that the victims lawyers have
2:25:49
Speaker 5: given to me and the reason they don't put out
2:25:53
Speaker 5: the names is they would be sued into homelessness for defamation.
2:25:57
Speaker 5: The government doesn't pursue any of this if they can't,
2:26:00
Speaker 5: you get any of the evidence out there, and the
2:26:02
Speaker 5: government's in possession of it. So the government needs to
2:26:05
Speaker 5: release their names. But here's what I know. I know
2:26:08
Speaker 5: the President is trying to protect some top Republican donors
2:26:13
Speaker 5: and friends of his in West Palm Beach and I
2:26:17
Speaker 5: will stand by that.
2:26:18
Speaker 6: And go to my grave on that.
2:26:20
Speaker 3: Well, that would explain it, wouldn't it. I mean that
2:26:23
Speaker 3: it's not right, but it certainly would make sense as
2:26:26
Speaker 3: to how he didn't why he did a one to eighty.
2:26:29
Speaker 5: And then the other question is, well if the president's
2:26:34
Speaker 5: donors stand to lose in this White and Joe Biden
2:26:37
Speaker 5: and the Democrats pursue this when they were in power, right, Well,
2:26:41
Speaker 5: it's because once you get to the billionaire class, a
2:26:45
Speaker 5: lot of these billionaires are just members of the UNI Party.
2:26:47
Speaker 5: They give to whichever party's in power. Who's ever having
2:26:50
Speaker 5: the best parties? How do you get to the Lincoln
2:26:54
Speaker 5: Bedroom in the White House. So they give to both parties.
2:26:58
Speaker 5: And I think you're going to see men implicated who
2:27:02
Speaker 5: are friends and donors of both parties in this and
2:27:06
Speaker 5: then also finally, this is the conspiracy theory, but there's
2:27:11
Speaker 5: a lot of weight to it. I introduced five documents
2:27:14
Speaker 5: into the record in front of cash Battel a few
2:27:16
Speaker 5: weeks ago in our judiciary hearing that indicate that Jeffrey
2:27:20
Speaker 5: Epstein was working with National Intelligence MASAD and the CIA.
2:27:28
Speaker 5: And I asked, I even asked cash Battel, have you
2:27:31
Speaker 5: seen the CIA file on Jeffrey Epstein? He has not so,
2:27:37
Speaker 5: and there is one. Now, why wouldn't he go look
2:27:41
Speaker 5: at that?
2:27:42
Speaker 3: Good question?
2:27:42
Speaker 5: Well, you know he's allowed to go see that. You
2:27:45
Speaker 5: can't keep the director of the FBI.
2:27:47
Speaker 3: So he looks at it, he's going to have to
2:27:48
Speaker 3: answer your questions. He can just play ignorance. I don't
2:27:52
Speaker 3: want to see it because then I'll have to Then
2:27:53
Speaker 3: I'll say, yeah, I do know what's in there. Yeah,
2:27:56
Speaker 3: that makes sense.
2:27:57
Speaker 5: I asked cash Battel, have you seen the three h
2:27:59
Speaker 5: two form that the FBI filled out when they interviewed
2:28:01
Speaker 5: the victims. He's not seen them. No, he's trusting. His
2:28:05
Speaker 5: answer to me was he trusts that the people working
2:28:07
Speaker 5: at the FBI would have given him those names if
2:28:10
Speaker 5: they were credible evidence, and then my question is do
2:28:14
Speaker 5: you not think the victims are credible? Let's the Speaker
2:28:22
Speaker 5: of the House is trying to say that he's trying
2:28:25
Speaker 5: to protect the victims, but my legislation would redact their
2:28:29
Speaker 5: names in anything that could be used to identify them
2:28:32
Speaker 5: out of the files, and the victims themselves support my legislation.
2:28:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the big point right there. Yeah, he's making
2:28:38
Speaker 3: an argument on their behalf that they don't want asserted. Wow, well,
2:28:44
Speaker 3: welcome to government. No kid in Congress, Amassi. Let me
2:28:46
Speaker 3: ask a simple, straightforward question, since Judge Enntan Andrew Napoltan
2:28:50
Speaker 3: is up next and he's maybe listening but going to
2:28:53
Speaker 3: be commenting on this is an opinion from the Office
2:28:58
Speaker 3: of Legal Counsel within the Justice Department telling Donald Trump
2:29:01
Speaker 3: that he is allowed to authorize deadly force use against
2:29:07
Speaker 3: well cartels because they pose an imminent threat to Americans.
2:29:10
Speaker 3: Does a boat fifteen hundred miles away a small boat
2:29:14
Speaker 3: maybe goes fifteen to twenty knots? Is that an eminent
2:29:16
Speaker 3: threat to the United States of America?
2:29:19
Speaker 5: I know somebody who worked in the Office of Legal
2:29:22
Speaker 5: Council under Nixon, under Reagan and he's still alive, and
2:29:27
Speaker 5: he's in DC, and he advises me, and he says
2:29:29
Speaker 5: that department exists just to justify anything the president want.
2:29:37
Speaker 5: This man's testified in front of Congress on Iran contra,
2:29:40
Speaker 5: like he knows that the Office of Legal Council they
2:29:44
Speaker 5: sit over there constructing scaffolding that can go, you know,
2:29:48
Speaker 5: ten stories high, and it's built out of bamboo and
2:29:50
Speaker 5: lashed together with very weak legal arguments, and they just
2:29:55
Speaker 5: rely on Congress not challenging them.
2:29:58
Speaker 3: Well, that's kind of the answer I expected, Carson Thomas Massey.
2:30:02
Speaker 3: I appreciate the time you spoke my listeners of me
2:30:05
Speaker 3: providing some truth in a world where we desperately need
2:30:08
Speaker 3: to keep up the great work. I'll look forward today
2:30:10
Speaker 3: you return from recess and start working on the appropriation
2:30:13
Speaker 3: Bill's Congressman Massy, I'll look forward to having you back
2:30:15
Speaker 3: on the show real soon.
2:30:17
Speaker 6: Thank you, Brian.
2:30:18

Speaker 10: extra fifteen minutes. Coming up next a guest who's very
2:30:59
Speaker 10: happy this morning. Well because another judge powered is Yankees
2:31:03
Speaker 10: to a victory last night. They're going I need a
2:31:05
Speaker 10: couple more, but Judge Nap, it's next Chuck Ingram on
2:31:09
Speaker 10: fifty five KARC the talk station.
2:31:15
Speaker 3: Eight thirty two if you have kr City Talk station.
2:31:18
Speaker 3: Well at least it wasn't goofy or wacky. That was
2:31:21
Speaker 3: a rather straightforward introduction. Welcome back to the fifty five
2:31:23
Speaker 3: Cars Morning show, my friend judg Ennapolitano.
2:31:26
Speaker 7: Yes, yes it was, and I think if I have
2:31:29
Speaker 7: this correct, A thirty eight year old Italian from New
2:31:34
Speaker 7: Jersey will soon become the hero of the Cincinnati Bengals,
2:31:40
Speaker 7: so I have that right.
2:31:42
Speaker 3: You may maybe collectively we've written off the CINCINNTI Bengals.
2:31:45
Speaker 3: You're honor. I just it's like, you want to be optimistic,
2:31:48
Speaker 3: but they give us no reason whatsoever to be optimistic.
2:31:51
Speaker 3: So maybe there is an element in there that's optimism.
2:31:54
Speaker 2: I feel sorry for.
2:31:57
Speaker 7: Joe Burrow. He's such a talented kid, but he just
2:32:00
Speaker 7: keeps getting hurt, I know, over and over again.
2:32:03
Speaker 3: Well that came up in conversation early in the program,
2:32:05
Speaker 3: and I think we're blaming management, coaching staff, the owners
2:32:09
Speaker 3: for maybe not adequately protecting Joe by Joe Burrow with
2:32:13
Speaker 3: a reasonably competent offensive line. But you know, we'll see
2:32:18
Speaker 3: how things play out over the long term, all right,
2:32:21
Speaker 3: And I love your column. I don't know if you
2:32:24
Speaker 3: heard me ask Congressom Massey about the Office of Legal
2:32:26
Speaker 3: Counsel and Department of Justice giving Donald Trump the keys
2:32:29
Speaker 3: to the American military when we face what he believes
2:32:32
Speaker 3: to be an eminent threat Congress, and Massey just basically
2:32:36
Speaker 3: said that that office is really designed to uphold literally
2:32:39
Speaker 3: anything the White House wants to do, regardless of administration.
2:32:42
Speaker 3: But I want to pause on that for a moment
2:32:44
Speaker 3: and ask you about what I thought was really I
2:32:48
Speaker 3: don't know, orwellian the fact that Donald did. Rather all
2:32:53
Speaker 3: these elected officials, seven Senators and one member of the
2:32:56
Speaker 3: House of Representative in this Arctic Frost investigation launched by
2:33:00
Speaker 3: the FBI in connection with the January sixth riots, they
2:33:04
Speaker 3: got their phone records. We've talked about this kind.
2:33:09
Speaker 7: They have nobody to blame but themselves, right because the statute,
2:33:13
Speaker 7: the Electronic Privacy so called Electronic Privacy Act, you know,
2:33:17
Speaker 7: the name really is often the misnumber permits FBI agency
2:33:23
Speaker 7: to get metadata. So it's who you called, when you called,
2:33:27
Speaker 7: and how long you spoke. It's not the actual conversation.
2:33:31
Speaker 7: I've been condemning this as a violation of the Fourth
2:33:34
Speaker 7: Amendment since it was first inactive. This is enacted by
2:33:37
Speaker 7: the Congress. They probably never imagined that it would happen
2:33:41
Speaker 7: to them. That doesn't make it moral, and it doesn't
2:33:44
Speaker 7: make it constitutional, but it does make it legal. And
2:33:47
Speaker 7: to make it even worse, Brian, this does not require
2:33:52
Speaker 7: a search warrant signed by a judge. It can be
2:33:56
Speaker 7: done by one of two ways, the grand Jerry subpoena
2:34:00
Speaker 7: and a good prosecutor can get a grand jury to
2:34:02
Speaker 7: sapoena anything, or a national security letter chie what is
2:34:07
Speaker 7: a national security letter Patriot Act? That's where one FBI
2:34:12
Speaker 7: agent authorizes another FBI agent to issue a search warrant
2:34:18
Speaker 7: on stored records at your lawyer's office, your doctor's office,
2:34:25
Speaker 7: your telecom, your computer server. Witherson that I don't blame
2:34:31
Speaker 7: is and I frequently disagree with him. As Senator Holly,
2:34:35
Speaker 7: he was outraged. He was not in the Senate when
2:34:39
Speaker 7: this legislation was enacted, but almost everybody else on that
2:34:42
Speaker 7: committee yesterday was in both parties. In fact, the chair
2:34:47
Speaker 7: that's been in the center for thirty years was around
2:34:49
Speaker 7: when the original legislation was enacted.
2:34:53
Speaker 3: I'm glad you framed it that way. I had a
2:34:55
Speaker 3: student listener call and point out the exact same thing. Republicans,
2:34:58
Speaker 3: anybody who voted for that. Nobody blamed for themselves for
2:35:01
Speaker 3: the fact that it's being used against them in this
2:35:03
Speaker 3: particular case. Question of whose ox is being gord I suppose.
2:35:08
Speaker 7: Right nobody's ox should be gored. They should follow the
2:35:10
Speaker 7: Fourth Amendment. If Jack Smith had probable cause to believe
2:35:15
Speaker 7: that there was evidence of a crime in a conversation
2:35:18
Speaker 7: between I'm just going to use this hypothetically. I don't
2:35:21
Speaker 7: know if the conversation happened Senator Josh Holly and President
2:35:25
Speaker 7: Trump on January fifth or January sixth. He goes to
2:35:28
Speaker 7: a federal judge, presents the evidence, and if the judge agrees,
2:35:31
Speaker 7: he signs a search warrant. Short of that, not neither
2:35:35
Speaker 7: Jack Smith nor any prosecutor, under any circumstances has the
2:35:39
Speaker 7: right to surveil communications. But the Congress has butchered that
2:35:44
Speaker 7: in a series of legislation, going back to legislative acts,
2:35:48
Speaker 7: going back to be four nine to eleven. I believe
2:35:50
Speaker 7: it or not, what left wing pinko creep signed the
2:35:55
Speaker 7: first of these laws allowing the government to get your.
2:36:00
Speaker 3: Records George Bush right, Ronald.
2:36:03
Speaker 7: Ray, nineteen eighty six. So this stuff goes way back.
2:36:09
Speaker 7: It was of course accelerated after nine to eleven. After
2:36:13
Speaker 7: nine to eleven you have the Patriot Act and a
2:36:15
Speaker 7: slew of amendments to it, every single one of which
2:36:18
Speaker 7: makes surveillance without a search weren't easier. But the original
2:36:22
Speaker 7: damage was done in nineteen eighty six under the so
2:36:25
Speaker 7: called Bank Privacy Act, which gave the FEDS the right
2:36:34
Speaker 7: to look at banking information. When you deposited more than
2:36:38
Speaker 7: ten thousand dollars in one deposit, That's that's what opened
2:36:42
Speaker 7: up these floodgates.
2:36:43
Speaker 3: And when you frame it that way, I just scratched
2:36:47
Speaker 3: my head and wonder, why what possible mean? Well, what
2:36:49
Speaker 3: cartels are using in drug dealers and brutalizing in those days.
2:36:54
Speaker 7: In those days, we were at the tail end of
2:36:58
Speaker 7: the drug wars, which had destroyed the Fourth Amendment, And
2:37:03
Speaker 7: fear of drug dealers is what animated Congress Post nine
2:37:07
Speaker 7: to eleven. Of course, it is fear of terrorism, and
2:37:11
Speaker 7: what is it now? Whatever Donald Trump says, it is
2:37:15
Speaker 7: fear of immigrants, fear of narco terrorists, fear of whatever
2:37:20
Speaker 7: you want to be afraid of. In terms of what
2:37:22
Speaker 7: Congressman Massey said, I had an Internet problem on my
2:37:25
Speaker 7: previous gig and I was not able to jump on.
2:37:28
Speaker 7: Of course, I agree with everything he says. But the
2:37:30
Speaker 7: Office of Legal Counsel was once the DOJ's lawyers. You'll
2:37:34
Speaker 7: know the names of two people who in their younger
2:37:38
Speaker 7: days ran the Office of Legal Counsel. One of them
2:37:41
Speaker 7: is named William Rehnquist and the other is named antonin Scalia.
2:37:46
Speaker 7: These were truly the brightest stars in the DOJ. They
2:37:51
Speaker 7: told the DOJ the law as they understood it. They
2:37:55
Speaker 7: were impervious to politics no longer today. I am die
2:38:00
Speaker 7: to see this so called secret memorandum that she has.
2:38:03
Speaker 7: How can analysis of a public law possibly be secret?
2:38:08
Speaker 3: I know I was going to ask you about that.
2:38:11
Speaker 3: He's not going to reveal the memo to the general public,
2:38:14
Speaker 3: even though CNN is widely reported on it. But eminent
2:38:17
Speaker 3: threat isn't that a rather subjective measure when it comes
2:38:22
Speaker 3: to determined whether they're going to use military force. And
2:38:25
Speaker 3: I go back to the boats, he's blown up. I
2:38:27
Speaker 3: don't like drugs. I don't want him in in the
2:38:28
Speaker 3: United States. But you know that's what we have a
2:38:30
Speaker 3: coastguard for. If they get close to us, then we
2:38:33
Speaker 3: can pick him up in process.
2:38:35
Speaker 7: How could four guys in a speedboat fifteen hundred miles
2:38:39
Speaker 7: from the US, unarmed or maybe with just small arms,
2:38:43
Speaker 7: you know, handguns, possibly be considered an eminent threat to
2:38:47
Speaker 7: the national security of the United States. The answer is
2:38:51
Speaker 7: they can't, And even if they were an eminent threat,
2:38:54
Speaker 7: it would make much more sense to arrest them, search
2:38:59
Speaker 7: the boat if there's drugs there, seize the assets and
2:39:03
Speaker 7: then engage in plean negotiations with one of them to
2:39:08
Speaker 7: find out where the drugs came from and who their
2:39:12
Speaker 7: sources are. There are ways to accomplish these goals without
2:39:16
Speaker 7: murdering people.
2:39:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, no question about it. Go about the normal course
2:39:20
Speaker 3: of business. Pick them up. They obviously can committed a crime. Look,
2:39:23
Speaker 3: it's a drug, vote drug, it's a boat full of drugs.
2:39:26
Speaker 3: That's against law. You're in our territory of waters. You're
2:39:29
Speaker 3: going to be subject to prosecution anyhow. It's just troubling
2:39:33
Speaker 3: from my perspective. And I worry you know, a lot
2:39:36
Speaker 3: of my listeners. I think I hate drug dealers. I
2:39:37
Speaker 3: don't care that they blew out. I don't care if
2:39:39
Speaker 3: it violates constitution. Well I do, because somebody else is
2:39:43
Speaker 3: going to be in office someday. Yeah, and they may
2:39:45
Speaker 3: decide that some organization that we don't believe necessarily representing
2:39:49
Speaker 3: them in the THREATSKA starts getting bombed because of their
2:39:51
Speaker 3: political ideology or their geopolitical ideology or whatever have you.
2:39:55
Speaker 3: It's so low a standard. And we're talking about America's
2:39:58
Speaker 3: military here at minimum, and you and I I think
2:40:00
Speaker 3: agree on this point. We don't believe authorizations for use
2:40:03
Speaker 3: of military force quite cut the constitutional declaration of war standard.
2:40:08
Speaker 3: But at least get Congress to agree with you and say, yes,
2:40:12
Speaker 3: you're right, we stamp of approval authorize you some military
2:40:15
Speaker 3: force because we believe this to be an eminent threat.
2:40:17
Speaker 3: We can ask that out.
2:40:19
Speaker 7: Right right, it's very, very dangerous. I got a little
2:40:25
Speaker 7: alarmist and hyperbolic at the end of my column saying
2:40:29
Speaker 7: who are they going to shoot next? Drug dealers in Chicago?
2:40:32
Speaker 7: But their logic for killing people before they commit crime
2:40:38
Speaker 7: is the same logic we could out outside the territory
2:40:42
Speaker 7: of warders of the United States. Is the same logic
2:40:45
Speaker 7: that they could apply to people inside the United States.
2:40:50
Speaker 7: By the way, how can it be a federal crime
2:40:52
Speaker 7: even if they were carrying drugs from Caracas to some
2:40:56
Speaker 7: island off the coast of Caracas. What this is u
2:41:00
Speaker 7: of the federal government is that does federal law apply
2:41:05
Speaker 7: everywhere on the planet.
2:41:08
Speaker 3: Don't tell them that they may get that idea, your honor,
2:41:11
Speaker 3: and we'll start bombing targets all over the world without
2:41:14
Speaker 3: with reckless abandon Judge Ennapolitano, logic. Reason is always on
2:41:18
Speaker 3: the plate when we talk with you, and I appreciate
2:41:20
Speaker 3: the willingness to come on the program every week and
2:41:22
Speaker 3: have these great conversations.
2:41:23
Speaker 7: Ran Brian, It's my favorite morning and I love being
2:41:27
Speaker 7: able to chat with you no matter what the Yankees
2:41:30
Speaker 7: or the Reds or the Bengals, or I hate to
2:41:32
Speaker 7: even mention this the football team New York Giants are doing.
2:41:38
Speaker 3: It was a strain for you to get those words
2:41:39
Speaker 3: out real quick judging Freedom is Weather is Podcast. W
2:41:43
Speaker 3: are you gonna be speaking with today, your honor.
2:41:45
Speaker 7: About eleven this morning Eastern I have the great Colonel
2:41:48
Speaker 7: Douglas McGregor. Colonel McGregor and I spent a weekend together
2:41:51
Speaker 7: giving this past weekend in a beautiful place in the
2:41:54
Speaker 7: United States, Dallas, Texas, where we were well received by
2:41:58
Speaker 7: the people to whom we spoke. But he's warning that
2:42:02
Speaker 7: war whether Iran is imminent, and he's going to describe American,
2:42:06
Speaker 7: not Israeli American preparations for that war. Does Iran pose
2:42:12
Speaker 7: a threat to the national security of the United States?
2:42:15
Speaker 2: Not one bit?
2:42:18
Speaker 7: But we're getting ready.
2:42:19
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a fascinating conversation. If not trouble and
2:42:21
Speaker 3: Judgenna polatonom until next Wednesday. God bless you sir, have
2:42:24
Speaker 3: a great week.
2:42:25
Speaker 7: Thank you, Brian, all the best.
2:42:27
Speaker 3: Take care, my friend. It's a forty three right now.
2:42:29
Speaker 3: If you have KS the talk station Gate of Heaven anyway,
2:42:31
Speaker 3: if you have cares dot comy then get a chance
2:42:32
Speaker 3: to listen to the Big Picture with Jack addid In
2:42:34
Speaker 3: this morning. Little technical difficulties during that as well, but
2:42:38
Speaker 3: we got through it. The Communist NFL which he was
2:42:41
Speaker 3: able to link to the education system amazingly. That's what
2:42:45
Speaker 3: we get from Jack add In. Pretty amazing commentary as always,
2:42:48
Speaker 3: Donovan Neil, a whole bunch of stuff you and I
2:42:50
Speaker 3: can help with to make government work, and to make
2:42:55
Speaker 3: government work dot com. Five specific bills are identified there,
2:42:59
Speaker 3: like the rains and the Keep Government Open Act, and
2:43:03
Speaker 3: they really would go a long long way to accomplish
2:43:07
Speaker 3: some efficiency and getting rid of fraud, waste and abuse
2:43:10
Speaker 3: in government. So action item right there for you and I.
2:43:13
Speaker 3: Lincott fifty five Cares dot Com. Of course, Congressman Massi
2:43:16
Speaker 3: on the shutdown and its connection maybe with the Epstein files. Wow,
2:43:21
Speaker 3: red flag all over that, and of course Judge Jennnapolitano
2:43:25
Speaker 3: fifty five Karroosee dot Comye Trhart Metia Ampire over there
2:43:28
Speaker 3: as well. I started out the Morning show talking about
2:43:30
Speaker 3: this it we have a choice here, flipped the natty,
2:43:34
Speaker 3: says Corey Bowman. Corey Bowman running from Mary. He's a
2:43:36
Speaker 3: pretty darn good guy, and I've talked to him a
2:43:38
Speaker 3: whole bunch of times on the Morning Show, as you
2:43:39
Speaker 3: know if you listen regularly, and not once, not once,
2:43:46
Speaker 3: has he ever tried to hang his hand on the
2:43:47
Speaker 3: fact that he is the half brother of jd Vance,
2:43:50
Speaker 3: vice president of jd Vance's half brother, which is constantly,
2:43:53
Speaker 3: constantly the drum beat from the media. He's got, really,
2:43:58
Speaker 3: I mean, other than a partial Bloodlin connection. He's running
2:44:01
Speaker 3: to serve the City of Cincinnati residents, and he's very
2:44:04
Speaker 3: clear on that all residents. He's not springing from particularly
2:44:09
Speaker 3: right wing perspective. He just realizes that we have priorities
2:44:13
Speaker 3: in the city and keeping roads paved and cracking down
2:44:18
Speaker 3: on crime, seeing that criminals are held accountable, to create
2:44:21
Speaker 3: a better environment for you and me, cutting out all
2:44:25
Speaker 3: the green new deal woke stuff that we can't afford,
2:44:28
Speaker 3: even if it was it was going to do something,
2:44:34
Speaker 3: And to anybody out there, that thinks that city taxpayer
2:44:37
Speaker 3: money should go toward green projects. Ask yourself, what the
2:44:41
Speaker 3: hell can the city of Cincinnati alone accomplish doing this.
2:44:45
Speaker 3: They're not doing it Warren County, they're not doing in
2:44:47
Speaker 3: Butler County. They're not doing it in Claremont County. They're
2:44:49
Speaker 3: not doing it in Newport, they're not doing it in Covington.
2:44:51
Speaker 3: I could go on, probably because maybe they don't have
2:44:55
Speaker 3: the financial resources to accomplish some carbon neutrality exercise or
2:44:58
Speaker 3: green energyduction exercise, but because maybe they practically say, gee, well,
2:45:03
Speaker 3: we're all breathing the same air. It's one big globe
2:45:05
Speaker 3: they are circulating and everything the entire country has done
2:45:09
Speaker 3: the name of carbon or cutting back carbon dioxide aka
2:45:12
Speaker 3: plant food hasn't done a wit to reduce the amount
2:45:15
Speaker 3: of carbon dioxide in the environment, thanks to China and
2:45:18
Speaker 3: India and Turkey and other very large producers of greenhouse gases,
2:45:24
Speaker 3: which I personally believe. Carbon dioxide is a pllutant to
2:45:28
Speaker 3: naturally occurring phenomenon. The plants need to live, so it
2:45:30
Speaker 3: occurs in the natural environment. It's critical for the functioning
2:45:35
Speaker 3: of the planet. So what in the hell is the
2:45:40
Speaker 3: city getting involved with something that even if they achieve
2:45:43
Speaker 3: their long term objectives and they could wave a flag
2:45:46
Speaker 3: saying we're carbon neutral in Cincinnati, what's it going to
2:45:49
Speaker 3: do for everybody in the world. Nothing so long winded
2:45:53
Speaker 3: way of saying that's I think that's backcrap insanity from
2:45:56
Speaker 3: the left. Do we want to allocate that as a priority.
2:46:00
Speaker 3: I think that Corey Bowman would not. Well, wait till
2:46:03
Speaker 3: after we get the roads fixed, Wait till after we
2:46:05
Speaker 3: get these big projects over with, Wait till after we
2:46:07
Speaker 3: get the crime situation ironed out, Wait till after we
2:46:12
Speaker 3: bring more investments by lowering the regulatory burden and getting
2:46:16
Speaker 3: things built and things accomplished. I mean, he's hit the
2:46:19
Speaker 3: nail on the head of all the problems the city
2:46:20
Speaker 3: has created, most notably created intentionally, I suppose, making it
2:46:27
Speaker 3: more difficult for us to live, thrive, and survive in
2:46:29
Speaker 3: the city. So what has that got to do with
2:46:30
Speaker 3: Jade Vance? Literally nothing headlined from Scott Warman to the
2:46:33
Speaker 3: Inquire in Cincinnati. Jd Vance's half brother hopes for a
2:46:37
Speaker 3: political earthquake in mayoral race. That's the headline. Didn't we
2:46:41
Speaker 3: put Corey Bowman in the headline this time around? The
2:46:46
Speaker 3: Republican Kennedy mentions Winster of Precity Sincinnati Mayor happens to
2:46:49
Speaker 3: be Vice President jd Vance's half brother, and then two
2:46:54
Speaker 3: paragraphs into the article he finally mentions Corey Bowman, and
2:47:01
Speaker 3: not the only time he mentions JD Vance's half brother.
2:47:07
Speaker 3: I think it's brought up three or four times in
2:47:08
Speaker 3: the article, and of course the article concludes making the
2:47:11
Speaker 3: point again to the extent you didn't get it from
2:47:12
Speaker 3: the headline or in the body of reporting. There it
2:47:16
Speaker 3: is at the close. But it's Bowman's family that has
2:47:20
Speaker 3: drawn much of the attention. His half brother is Vice
2:47:23
Speaker 3: President jd Vance. That sentence the second last sentence in
2:47:29
Speaker 3: the article. So we start with Jade Vance's half brother,
2:47:33
Speaker 3: we have references to that throughout the body of the article,
2:47:35
Speaker 3: and we conclude with that point. Why do you think
2:47:41
Speaker 3: that's been the dominant subject matter? Scott W.
