- 2:17Speaker 2: Bly began an attempt to travel round the world in
- 2:20Speaker 2: eighty days. It's a thing that movies are made about,
- 2:25Speaker 2: in fact have been. She successfully completed that journey in
- 2:29Speaker 2: little more than seventy two days. Ships trains, no automobiles,
- 2:34Speaker 2: but other means of transport as well. Nellie Bly began
- 2:40Speaker 2: her journey on this date, November fourteenth, nineteen ten, Eugene

- 4:35Speaker 2: This is kind of interesting and kind of funny actually
- 4:40Speaker 2: by comparison with the stock market as we sit in

- 10:38Speaker 2: a new curfew zone for the short Vine area near
- 10:42Speaker 2: UC's campus yesterday, targeting young people who've been causing safety
- 10:48Speaker 2: concerns in the business. You mean the young minor criminals
- 10:54Speaker 2: that are that are running around wreaking havoc, committing crime
- 11:00Speaker 2: and making people afraid for their lives and their possessions.
- 11:03Speaker 2: You mean that safety concerns. It was a unanimous vote
- 11:10Speaker 2: and established a new curfew zone between Daniels and East
- 11:13Speaker 2: Corry Street on Short Vine. The council members said that
- 11:19Speaker 2: businesses and customers in that area need the restrictions. I
- 11:24Speaker 2: love this. I love when anybody uses the phrase at
- 11:27Speaker 2: the end of the day. And I always asked which
- 11:31Speaker 2: day today, tomorrow, next week, sometime, Mika Owens cheeky Mika
- 11:43Speaker 2: Owens said, at the end of the day, we want
- 11:45Speaker 2: young people to be safe and when you were in
- 11:47Speaker 2: space where you should not be, you should be home.
- 11:52Speaker 2: Well duh. Now, I'm not one of those people who
- 11:59Speaker 2: was going to consistently poo poo anything this council does,
- 12:09Speaker 2: even though that's very easy to do, or the mayor.
- 12:13Speaker 2: I mean, they must be wildly supported. They got re
- 12:17Speaker 2: elected again even in the midst of all the carnage
- 12:22Speaker 2: of the last year or two on the streets of Cincinnati.
- 12:28Speaker 2: So I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna, says too little,
- 12:32Speaker 2: too late, not enough. How about actually effectively policing the
- 12:38Speaker 2: areas in question instead of imposing curfews, Director of Public Safety.
- 12:50Speaker 2: But we'll just wait and see, won't we. It's kind
- 12:57Speaker 2: of like waiting for New York City to ultimately implode
- 13:03Speaker 2: with a communists becoming the new mayor as of January first.
- 13:08Speaker 2: We'll see, but we know what the reaction has been
- 13:13Speaker 2: to this kind of government every time in the course
- 13:18Speaker 2: of human history, and it ain't good. So we'll see
- 13:23Speaker 2: if the new curfew restrictions. I mean, the city already
- 13:26Speaker 2: had an eleven o'clock curfew for juveniles city wide. They
- 13:33Speaker 2: reduced the hours to nine pm for a large portion
- 13:36Speaker 2: of downtown, and now short Vine will see those same restrictions.
- 13:40Speaker 2: Nine o'clock, get them off the streets. Anyone under eighteen
- 13:49Speaker 2: who was not accompanied by a parent or guardian, the
- 13:53Speaker 2: curfew requires them to go home before nine o'clock. According
- 13:58Speaker 2: to Seth Walsh, in effect for high schoolers in below.
- 14:01Speaker 2: So that's the intent there. Part of government is that
- 14:04Speaker 2: we're constantly reacting to what we're seeing out there. How
- 14:10Speaker 2: about being proactive instead of reactive. Right now, we're seeing
- 14:17Speaker 2: a rise in criminal activity in the short Vine area.
- 14:20Speaker 2: Hopefully this is going to have an impact on that.
- 14:24Speaker 2: And Joe Strecker mentioned what about the street over from
- 14:28Speaker 2: short Vine. They'll just move them over there. Remember that
- 14:31Speaker 2: brilliant plan, what was it to move the hookers out
- 14:39Speaker 2: of Clifton? And they just went somewhere. They went to
- 14:43Speaker 2: West Price Hill or something right across from Pete Woodie's place.
- 14:52Speaker 2: We're going to impose these restrictions and this is going
- 14:56Speaker 2: to make everything better. This is going to make public
- 15:00Speaker 2: safety of priority. This is going to make citizens of
- 15:02Speaker 2: Cincinnati and Short Vine a lot safer by imposing this
- 15:07Speaker 2: curfew in these areas. Crime doesn't go away because you
- 15:16Speaker 2: crack down in one place, It just moves. Of course,
- 15:25Speaker 2: this is in reaction again the City of Cincinnati, the
- 15:29Speaker 2: council being reactive instead of proactive and working on real solutions.
- 15:38Speaker 2: There have been so many incidences of violent acts committed
- 15:43Speaker 2: by young thugs in Cincinnati, like the shooting in that
- 15:50Speaker 2: area Shortvine on Halloween night. Oh here's a surprise, you see.
- 15:58Speaker 2: Safety director said Tuesday they have seen fourteen and fifteen
- 16:03Speaker 2: year olds mingling with college aided students and adults along
- 16:07Speaker 2: Short Vine. Well, that's nothing new. Fourteen and fifteen year
- 16:16Speaker 2: olds have been known to mingle with college students for
- 16:18Speaker 2: a long long time, but it didn't spark a crime spree.
- 16:29Speaker 2: Let's the at East University in short Vine back in April,
- 16:34Speaker 2: the story recalling a twenty five year old man allegedly
- 16:38Speaker 2: shot and killed by a fifteen year old. Was that
- 16:42Speaker 2: fifteen year old allegedly put on trial? Was he convicted?
- 16:47Speaker 2: Was he allegedly incarcerated as he should have been for
- 16:51Speaker 2: committing murder? Doesn't matter what the age is. Now, the
- 16:58Speaker 2: teens who re fuse to go home can be transported
- 17:04Speaker 2: to Seven Hills Curfew Center in the West End. Those
- 17:08Speaker 2: who commit crimes while violating the curfew will be taken
- 17:12Speaker 2: to the juvenile detention facility in Mount Auburn. How about
- 17:19Speaker 2: a maximum security daycare? Some council members express concerns that
- 17:28Speaker 2: the curfew might push young people to other areas. Will
- 17:32Speaker 2: you think didn't we just mention that? But supporters said
- 17:37Speaker 2: it's a good start to addressing safety issues of the district. Again,
- 17:44Speaker 2: I'll leave this story with a big fat wheel, See
- 17:51Speaker 2: it doesn't have. Let's say the odds in Vegas are
- 17:56Speaker 2: not with the city's curfew. I mean, it's not looking good,
- 18:04Speaker 2: but who knows. The magic bullet of the nine o'clock
- 18:09Speaker 2: curfew is back in Cincinnati for those eighteen and under
- 18:14Speaker 2: or under eighteen, And I'm sure the people who are
- 18:21Speaker 2: engaging in criminal activity be whatever age they are are
- 18:27Speaker 2: going to pay attention to the curfew like good little
- 18:33Speaker 2: boys and girls. It's five twenty six, fifty five KRCD
- 18:39Speaker 2: Talk Station. Vicki Lisandro from VCAS is up next.
- 18:45Speaker 1: The free iHeartRadio app is your home for the holidays,
- 18:48Speaker 1: and there's.
- 18:48Speaker 2: Forty three now at fifty five KRCV Talk States. It
- 19:01Speaker 2: is wonderful once again to speak to Vickylessandro, who is
- 19:05Speaker 2: the head. She is the head cheese man, she's the
- 19:09Speaker 2: main girl at VCAS here in Cincinnati. And it's been
- 19:14Speaker 2: a while since we first talked when they were just
- 19:17Speaker 2: launching this incredible service for veterans. But it's Veterans Week
- 19:21Speaker 2: and I want to do a check back in and
- 19:24Speaker 2: see how the local chapter of the Veterans Companion Animal
- 19:29Speaker 2: Service did I get it right? Yes, it was doing
- 19:35Speaker 2: first and foremost Happy Veterans Week. How's it going? You said,
- 19:38Speaker 2: you've been real busy.
- 19:39Speaker 4: Right, Vicky, We've been very busy. I just want to
- 19:44Speaker 4: take an opportunity to thank all the veterans for their
- 19:48Speaker 4: service and their families for their sacrifices to and we've
- 19:55Speaker 4: just we're very honored to be working with this group
- 19:58Speaker 4: of people who've given so much and that we feel
- 20:01Speaker 4: like we can give something back to them, to a
- 20:04Speaker 4: companion animal.
- 20:05Speaker 2: Yeah, explain for people who did not hear the first
- 20:09Speaker 2: couple of times when we spoke, uh, what it is.
- 20:12Speaker 2: Vc A S does just just a mess.
- 20:16Speaker 4: Yeah. We basically rescue dogs from shelters and pair them
- 20:23Speaker 4: with veterans who are who are struggling with PTSD anxiety depression, loneliness,
- 20:30Speaker 4: and we we we provide them with a companion animal.
- 20:35Speaker 4: Have found that animals can really just change.
- 20:39Speaker 5: Your basically your whole outlook on life.
- 20:42Speaker 4: You know, we've we've seen veterans who really come back.
- 20:46Speaker 6: From from being.
- 20:48Speaker 4: In service and struggling and kind of being at the
- 20:52Speaker 4: lowest point in their life sometimes and they get an
- 20:55Speaker 4: animal and it gives them a whole new purpose. So
- 20:58Speaker 4: we are child to be able to do that for
- 21:02Speaker 4: our service service and veterans.
- 21:06Speaker 2: Yeah. And and uh, you also have have done some
- 21:10Speaker 2: things with first responders as well, right, Vicky, No, right now.
- 21:15Speaker 4: Strictly are just not yet We're strictly just working with veterans.
- 21:19Speaker 2: That's fantastic. So it's a two pronged rescue because you
- 21:24Speaker 2: are rescuing these shelter dogs, uh, and finding them homes
- 21:31Speaker 2: and then explain, explain the process how it works so
- 21:36Speaker 2: people understand what you do.
- 21:39Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 21:40Speaker 4: We well, we've been doing some community outreach. We go
- 21:44Speaker 4: to the VA once a month and when the veteran
- 21:47Speaker 4: here's about our services. They sign up and let us
- 21:52Speaker 4: say they're interested in a dog.
- 21:53Speaker 6: We go through a series of steps.
- 21:55Speaker 4: They fill out an application, They let us know what
- 21:58Speaker 4: kind of dog.
- 21:59Speaker 5: So we're very.
- 22:02Speaker 6: You know, we work really closely.
- 22:04Speaker 4: With the veterans to make sure that we're getting the
- 22:06Speaker 4: kind of animal that they want, not just a dog,
- 22:09Speaker 4: but if they need a really active dog or a
- 22:11Speaker 4: lap dog, what size dog they want, what you know,
- 22:17Speaker 4: long hair, short hair or whatever. So we then we're
- 22:21Speaker 4: working with four agencies we have signed on right now
- 22:24Speaker 4: for rescues to find that just that right dog. The
- 22:29Speaker 4: dog goes into foster care for two to four weeks
- 22:32Speaker 4: to decompress from the shelter situation, and once the veteran
- 22:37Speaker 4: meets that dog and says that's my dog, we adopt.
- 22:42Speaker 4: We pay all the fees, We give them the everything
- 22:46Speaker 4: they need for the first year, vetting, leashes, dog bowls,
- 22:51Speaker 4: We pay all the veterinary care for the first year. Yeah,
- 22:56Speaker 4: so we basically cover so there's no cost at all
- 22:59Speaker 4: to the vet for that first year, just to make
- 23:02Speaker 4: that transition easier for them and the dog.
- 23:04Speaker 2: How many dogs have you been able to play so far?
- 23:07Speaker 2: Have you been able to place any dogs with veterans yet.
- 23:09Speaker 4: VICKI, we were really close on one and it kind
- 23:13Speaker 4: of fell through, and we're getting very close on the
- 23:16Speaker 4: second one here. It's kind of a long process, and
- 23:20Speaker 4: it's it's something that, like I said, we're as concerned
- 23:24Speaker 4: about the dog getting in the right house if we
- 23:27Speaker 4: are about the veteran getting the correct dog for them. Sure,
- 23:30Speaker 4: So it's a process that you know, they may think
- 23:34Speaker 4: that that's the right dog and do a meet and
- 23:36Speaker 4: greet with the dog and say that's that's not going
- 23:39Speaker 4: to work, or we're just not bonding and we will
- 23:41Speaker 4: start over with that veteran.
- 23:43Speaker 2: Then all right, you've got a fundraiser that you wanted
- 23:47Speaker 2: to tell folks about. Tell me about this fundraiser.
- 23:51Speaker 4: Yes, because we have a lot of costs involved with
- 23:55Speaker 4: every dog that you know, for that whole first year recovering.
- 23:59Speaker 4: We have an online auction going on right now. You
- 24:03Speaker 4: can get to it through the v cost Facebook page
- 24:08Speaker 4: or through v Costs Charity dot org, which is our
- 24:14Speaker 4: web page, and we have about thirty five really nice
- 24:18Speaker 4: baskets and bundles. We have a signed guitar by David
- 24:22Speaker 4: Lee Rotha van Halen go. Yeah, so anybody who's a
- 24:27Speaker 4: Van Halen fan, you need this. We've also done a calendar,
- 24:33Speaker 4: just finished it up with some dogs of people we know,
- 24:39Speaker 4: and we've got a veteran in there with her dog.
- 24:43Speaker 4: And that's also a fundraiser for us, just to raise
- 24:46Speaker 4: those funds, cover those costs, and get as many dogs
- 24:49Speaker 4: as we can into those homes.
- 24:50Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're covering the costs pretty much for any
- 24:53Speaker 2: veteran for one full year, that is not a lighthearted
- 24:59Speaker 2: under taking that. That is a lot of expense and
- 25:03Speaker 2: you need you need the backup. So how can people
- 25:06Speaker 2: once again get involved with v c A S. I
- 25:09Speaker 2: just thought it was the most wonderful thing in the
- 25:11Speaker 2: world for veterans and for the dogs. And uh, if
- 25:15Speaker 2: people want to donate, if people want to participate in
- 25:17Speaker 2: the fundraiser again, how do they do that?
- 25:21Speaker 4: They can go onto our website which is Veterans Oh
- 25:26Speaker 4: my gosh, I'm totally blanking out, which is vcost Charity
- 25:31Speaker 4: dot org. Okay, Or they can go to Facebook. There
- 25:35Speaker 4: is a Veterans Companion Animal Services Facebook page. There's a
- 25:40Speaker 4: link in there on that auction site. They can order
- 25:44Speaker 4: calendars on the auction site if they're interested in getting
- 25:47Speaker 4: a calendar. We're always in need of foster families, So
- 25:52Speaker 4: if anybody's interested in when when we find that dog
- 25:56Speaker 4: and we pull it out of a shelter, we're looking
- 25:58Speaker 4: for foster families that will foster for two to four weeks.
- 26:03Speaker 4: And you know we'll always tick donations. So there's there's
- 26:08Speaker 4: so many ways it really that you can help us
- 26:11Speaker 4: make this this possible for our veterans.
- 26:14Speaker 2: And it's VCAS or vodkas charity dot org. Yes, yes, okay, fantastic,
- 26:22Speaker 2: Vicky Lessandro. I wish you great success, especially on Veterans Week.
- 26:26Speaker 2: Let's get some dogs with some veterans and make both
- 26:31Speaker 2: of their lives more whole. It's a fantastic charity. I
- 26:35Speaker 2: love it.
- 26:36Speaker 4: We like to say we we rescue dogs to rescue vets.
- 26:40Speaker 2: It's wonderful. Thank you, Vic.
- 26:42Speaker 4: All right, all right, thank you, and thank you so
- 26:43Speaker 4: much for your support.
- 26:45Speaker 2: Take care, Ben, all right, we'll roll along here in
- 26:48Speaker 2: just a moment on a on a Veterans Week just
- 26:53Speaker 2: concluding fifty five, the talk station for the Claremont County
- 26:58Speaker 2: of Veteran Service talked to good God Garry Jeff Walker
- 27:05Speaker 2: for Brian Town. Yeah, David Lee Roth signed guitar that
- 27:11Speaker 2: vcas is option? All right, man, I saw a video
- 27:17Speaker 2: of David Lee rock. It's not good. I mean today,
- 27:27Speaker 2: why is it? And listen, there's nothing wrong with old
- 27:31Speaker 2: rock stars, and truly I say this, there's nothing wrong
- 27:37Speaker 2: with aging lesbians. But why do these aging rock stars
- 27:43Speaker 2: look more and more, especially the glam rockers look more
- 27:49Speaker 2: and more like old women who enjoy rugby. They just
- 27:55Speaker 2: really do. And I'm not slamming rugby or lesbians or
- 27:58Speaker 2: old rock stars. Is saying they do look like we
- 28:04Speaker 2: Kings protesters five one three seven fifty five hundred at
- 28:11Speaker 2: five forty three. Long time listener and longtime caller Tom
- 28:15Speaker 2: is back. Good morning Tom? How are you?
- 28:18Speaker 7: Oh?
- 28:19Speaker 8: Good morning Gary? Yeah? It's what do the kids say?
- 28:21Speaker 8: It's been a minute since since I talked to you.
- 28:25Speaker 2: What it has because because Brian does not take enough
- 28:28Speaker 2: days off is the problem. I am always available, almost
- 28:33Speaker 2: always available for Joe Strucker to get you know through
- 28:38Speaker 2: through the grinder and call me and say, hey, we
- 28:42Speaker 2: need you. It's an emergency. Could you please break the
- 28:46Speaker 2: glass and come in and here I am.
- 28:49Speaker 8: So when when Joe's number comes up on your phone,
- 28:53Speaker 8: you immediately answer and you just say yes, what, It
- 28:56Speaker 8: doesn't matter what the requests.
- 28:58Speaker 2: That's that's pretty much it.
- 29:00Speaker 5: Right on.
- 29:01Speaker 2: He did ask if I could work this coming Monday,
- 29:03Speaker 2: but I'm doing my own show on another station Monday,
- 29:06Speaker 2: So it's just kind of like every once in a
- 29:09Speaker 2: while I'm too busy to answer the call. But usually
- 29:12Speaker 2: when Joe pulls my chain, the light comes.
- 29:15Speaker 8: On, right off, right off.
- 29:17Speaker 2: So what's on your mind?
- 29:19Speaker 8: Well, first of all, when you started to show, you
- 29:21Speaker 8: were listing people's birthdays and events and stuff like that,
- 29:25Speaker 8: and you mentioned the lady that wrote the novel Around
- 29:27Speaker 8: the World in Eighty Days and reminding me of it.
- 29:32Speaker 2: Reminded it was Nellie Bly and she was she embarked
- 29:35Speaker 2: on her journey on this day.
- 29:39Speaker 8: Oh, that's okay, And it reminded me of John Connette,
- 29:43Speaker 8: the comedian you remember him, Vegas, very heavy set guy,
- 29:47Speaker 8: and he did he had a bit where he did
- 29:50Speaker 8: Around the World in eighty buffets. I thought that was
- 29:54Speaker 8: pretty funny. And anybody gets a chance to watch, look
- 29:57Speaker 8: up John Connette, very very far any comedian. I think
- 30:00Speaker 8: he passed away in the late nineties or something like that,
- 30:03Speaker 8: but hilarious. The main reason I called is that people
- 30:07Speaker 8: are beating up on the old Chuck U Schumer and
- 30:11Speaker 8: because he wasn't able to maintain the shutdown any longer.
- 30:16Speaker 8: And and I obviously don't agree with probably anything he says,
- 30:22Speaker 8: and I'm definitely not defending the man, but what was
- 30:26Speaker 8: he supposed to do with the eight senators that decided
- 30:29Speaker 8: to cross the aisle? How is that? How is that
- 30:32Speaker 8: his fault? It's it's his fault that they got into
- 30:35Speaker 8: the shutdown to begin with. Now that's a reason for
- 30:38Speaker 8: his career to end. But because eight senators crossed the isle,
- 30:42Speaker 8: now they're gonna all the rest of the liberals are
- 30:45Speaker 8: going to blame him for that.
- 30:46Speaker 2: I think it's a lot like I hate to quote AOC,
- 30:51Speaker 2: but AOC said it this week in the aftermath of
- 30:54Speaker 2: the government reopening. She said, the problem is bigger than
- 30:57Speaker 2: one man. This is part of the seed chain and
- 31:00Speaker 2: what used to be called the Democrat Party that's now
- 31:03Speaker 2: the Democrat socialist or communist party in this country, and
- 31:06Speaker 2: that is what it is transitioning into. Chuck Schumer does
- 31:10Speaker 2: not fit that mold. He's an establishment swamp guy. Well,
- 31:15Speaker 2: you may not agree with any of what he says
- 31:18Speaker 2: or policies, or certainly the way he grills Burger's raw
- 31:22Speaker 2: with cheese on top. No, but you understand the old
- 31:27Speaker 2: guard is being pushed out by the Kamis. They have finally,
- 31:31Speaker 2: they have finally usurped the Democrat Party and taken it over.
- 31:36Speaker 2: And they being the likes of Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Casio Cortes,
- 31:42Speaker 2: the Squad, the rest of the squad, and some of
- 31:46Speaker 2: these other socialist leaning senators. There are eight people that
- 31:53Speaker 2: voted to reopen the government who happen to have d's
- 31:57Speaker 2: in front of their name, who are in moderate districts.
- 32:02Speaker 2: In other words, they're kind of like the last holdouts.
- 32:06Speaker 2: And they're either retiring so they don't have to face reelection,
- 32:10Speaker 2: or they're facing re election in a purple not a
- 32:14Speaker 2: deep blue or deep hammer and sickle state. So they
- 32:21Speaker 2: were worried about being This was all about who's going
- 32:24Speaker 2: to be re elected. It's all about it's all about power.
- 32:28Speaker 2: It's not about the American people. They're supposed to work
- 32:31Speaker 2: for us, and and and they and they prove, they
- 32:34Speaker 2: prove time and time again that they're working for themselves
- 32:38Speaker 2: and they're working to retain and accumulate more power.
- 32:44Speaker 8: Right, and they're and they're working for the party.
- 32:46Speaker 2: Uh.
- 32:46Speaker 8: Yeah, all these guys, all these guys are supposed to
- 32:49Speaker 8: be working for the people in their district or their senders,
- 32:53Speaker 8: people in the state. And obviously they don't. And you know,
- 32:56Speaker 8: we could accuse Republicans of the same kind of crack.
- 32:58Speaker 2: Sure, they may not.
- 33:00Speaker 8: They may not do it for the same reason.
- 33:01Speaker 2: Except for except for Thomas Massey will have him this
- 33:05Speaker 2: morning at seven thirty.
- 33:07Speaker 8: Oh, I agree. And this is not a blanket statement
- 33:10Speaker 8: for every politician, but the vast majority of them. So
- 33:14Speaker 8: the problem with the Democrat Party is the Democrat Party
- 33:17Speaker 8: and because of the things that they come up with.
- 33:20Speaker 2: And I'll I'll go, I'll go even farther, Tom, the
- 33:23Speaker 2: problem with the Democrat Party is that it simply does
- 33:26Speaker 2: not exist anymore.
- 33:27Speaker 8: Well, yeah, compared to what it used to be. I
- 33:31Speaker 8: wholeheartedly agree. I't I didn't necessarily agree with the old
- 33:35Speaker 8: Democrat Party either, but it's it's gotten way out of hand,
- 33:38Speaker 8: and it's it is a it is a serious, clear
- 33:42Speaker 8: and present danger to this country. Don't so for that
- 33:45Speaker 8: and many other reasons, don't vote Democrat.
- 33:49Speaker 2: Great, No, thank you, Tom. Don't worry about democracy, worry
- 33:55Speaker 2: about the Republic. It's five fifty five KRCV talk station
- 34:00Speaker 2: renew and refresh r S deep talk station. You know, generally,
- 34:05Speaker 2: I have no problem with flags, unless, of course, they're
- 34:15Speaker 2: taking the place of the American flag, the stars and stripes.
- 34:22Speaker 2: I love the American flag. People have all kinds of flags.
- 34:27Speaker 2: I don't think that people should be protesting in this
- 34:31Speaker 2: country using flags from other countries, or protesting this country,
- 34:37Speaker 2: say with their Pride flag, for example, as a protest
- 34:42Speaker 2: against the United States of America. Guy in Florida last
- 34:47Speaker 2: week was in a Starbucks. There was a Pride flag
- 34:55Speaker 2: up at Starbucks. Again, it's not my flag. I don't
- 34:59Speaker 2: care if I ever I saw another Pride flag in
- 35:01Speaker 2: my life, but it doesn't bother me. There's a Pride
- 35:04Speaker 2: flag up at Starbucks, of all places. This is in
- 35:08Speaker 2: Saint Petersburg, Florida. But the man in question, Tucker Camp,
- 35:14Speaker 2: aged thirty one, was arrested for tearing the Pride flag
- 35:19Speaker 2: off the wall at the Starbucks after throwing his tea
- 35:23Speaker 2: on the gay right symbol. And my message to Tucker,
- 35:28Speaker 2: age thirty one is that's what they do, Tucker. That's
- 35:38Speaker 2: what the lbgt QIA E I e IO activists do.
- 35:41Speaker 2: The militants, the trans militants, they engage in violence, they
- 35:46Speaker 2: engage in vandalism. We don't do that. I think Tucker
- 35:51Speaker 2: found out that and apologized. After being fired from his
- 35:57Speaker 2: job at the Dignity Memorial funeral home chain, Kyle Supported
- 36:06Speaker 2: told a Starbucks manager. Starbucks manager, he was offended by
- 36:09Speaker 2: the flag in the fact that they should put up
- 36:11Speaker 2: an American flag. You can be offended all you want, Tucker,
- 36:15Speaker 2: but it's not your flag. You can't burn it, you
- 36:19Speaker 2: can't throw tea on it. It's in a place of business.
- 36:26Speaker 2: We don't and should not behave that way as conservatives,
- 36:33Speaker 2: as supporters of this country, as supporters of law and
- 36:38Speaker 2: order and the constitution, supporters of people like Charlie Kirk
- 36:44Speaker 2: who had his life violently taken from him by a
- 36:48Speaker 2: trans militant who engaged in violence, criminal activity, as they're
- 36:55Speaker 2: doing in Portland, Oregon, as they're doing in Broadview, Illinois,
- 37:00Speaker 2: as they're doing in numerous cities around the country where
- 37:02Speaker 2: Donald Trump is trying to fulfill the campaign promise of
- 37:06Speaker 2: deporting the worst of the worst illegal criminals. The left
- 37:12Speaker 2: does that. The left engages in violence. We don't. Again,
- 37:23Speaker 2: the rainbow is not my favorite symbol as far as
- 37:26Speaker 2: the Pride flag goes. But you can't go tearing up
- 37:32Speaker 2: somebody else's material just because you don't like it. Hmm.
- 37:41Speaker 2: It's not the h And certainly as a Christian, I don't.
- 37:45Speaker 2: I don't find that edifying at all. That didn't help anything,
- 37:49Speaker 2: and you lost your job. Oh well, live and learn, can't.
- 37:53Speaker 2: Hecken Lively, who's written a new book about the government's
- 37:57Speaker 2: cover up of you or UFOs whatever they're calling them
- 38:02Speaker 2: these days, is coming up right after the top of
- 38:05Speaker 2: the hour on fifty five KRC the talk station.
- 38:09Speaker 1: Today's tough headlines coming up at Togo.
- 38:12Speaker 9: Violent crime every Day.
- 38:13Speaker 1: It is RUE fifty five KRC, the Talk Station.
- 38:30Speaker 2: Kent heck and Lively is a New York Times bestselling author, attorney,
- 38:34Speaker 2: science teacher, and now he's exposing deep state cover ups
- 38:38Speaker 2: in the explosive new book Catastrophic Disclosure. The Deep State,
- 38:43Speaker 2: Aliens and the Truth. It will be out next Tuesday,
- 38:47Speaker 2: on the eighteenth, and we're talking about it now. And
- 38:50Speaker 2: this coming on the heels of some pretty shocking congressional
- 38:53Speaker 2: hearing that happened in September, where to that point, never
- 38:59Speaker 2: before seen video showed a hellfire missile bouncing off of
- 39:03Speaker 2: a UFO off of Yemen's coast back in late October
- 39:07Speaker 2: of twenty twenty four and military whistleblowers testifying about retaliation
- 39:13Speaker 2: for reporting encounters with UFO's UAPs whatever you want to
- 39:17Speaker 2: call them. Again, this book will expose some government cover ups.
- 39:24Speaker 2: Why are they covering it up? What is being covered up?
- 39:28Speaker 2: And all of that yet to be fully answered. But Kent,
- 39:32Speaker 2: great to have you on this show. Welcome, How are you.
- 39:35Speaker 9: I'm doing great, all right?
- 39:37Speaker 2: So number one, have you always had an interest in
- 39:42Speaker 2: this particular subject?
- 39:44Speaker 10: I have, you know, I think like most of the public,
- 39:47Speaker 10: I always have. But I always always say it's been
- 39:51Speaker 10: a recreational interest.
- 39:52Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 39:53Speaker 9: This is my twentieth book.
- 39:55Speaker 10: I've never done anything on the wild side like this,
- 39:59Speaker 10: anything paranori. So you know, I usually stick to science.
- 40:03Speaker 10: I usually stick to technology media. But like a lot
- 40:07Speaker 10: of the public, in the summer of twenty twenty three,
- 40:11Speaker 10: when David Grush appeared in front of Congress and said
- 40:15Speaker 10: some rather remarkable things along with some other military people,
- 40:19Speaker 10: David Fraber, Ryan Graves. I said to myself, what is
- 40:23Speaker 10: going on? Because I know what it takes to testify
- 40:26Speaker 10: in front of Congress. You are thoroughly vetted before you
- 40:30Speaker 10: appear in front of Congress. So these were legitimate people.
- 40:34Speaker 10: They were making claims that sounded wild, But I thought
- 40:39Speaker 10: I needed to get to the bottom of this story.
- 40:42Speaker 10: And I was really fortunate that one of my good
- 40:44Speaker 10: friends is Michael Mazzola, who's probably the world's leading UFO
- 40:49Speaker 10: documentary filmmaker. So I called him up and I said, Michael,
- 40:53Speaker 10: what is going on with this story? And he said, Ken,
- 40:56Speaker 10: I'm really glad you asked me about that, because we're
- 40:59Speaker 10: hearing behind the scenes that while the military and intelligence
- 41:04Speaker 10: services want to do a controlled disclosure about UFOs, they're
- 41:11Speaker 10: worried about something called catastrophic disclosure. And I thought, well,
- 41:17Speaker 10: you know, I'm trained as an attorney, so you know,
- 41:20Speaker 10: you go to court, you raise your right hand, you say,
- 41:22Speaker 10: I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and
- 41:24Speaker 10: nothing but the truth, and why is this subject different?
- 41:31Speaker 10: And he said, there's a lot that's happened behind the
- 41:33Speaker 10: scenes that they don't want to disclose.
- 41:36Speaker 9: And I thought, well, you.
- 41:38Speaker 10: Know, I've always got a nose for a good story,
- 41:42Speaker 10: and I thought, well, let me investigate, Congress, let me
- 41:45Speaker 10: talk to the leading experts in the field, people like
- 41:49Speaker 10: doctor Stephen Greer, people like Danny Sheehan, people like independent
- 41:53Speaker 10: journalist Michael Schollenberger.
- 41:55Speaker 6: And let me create a news story.
- 41:59Speaker 10: A reinterpretation of the UFO story in light of this
- 42:03Speaker 10: new information we've been learning.
- 42:05Speaker 2: Well, we've been fascinated with this, or many of us
- 42:09Speaker 2: for almost eighty years, going back to Roswell in nineteen
- 42:12Speaker 2: forty seven and the initial claim that the army that
- 42:17Speaker 2: a flying saucer had crashed out in the desert, and
- 42:22Speaker 2: then it was a weather balloon, and then there were
- 42:25Speaker 2: all kinds of stories that were either made up or
- 42:30Speaker 2: suppressed ever since. I mean, that kind of began the
- 42:35Speaker 2: nation's fascination with this that still exists to this day.
- 42:39Speaker 2: And while the news about UFOs or UAPs, whatever you
- 42:44Speaker 2: want to call them, has not dominated the news headlines
- 42:52Speaker 2: like it did in other eras, it's starting to again
- 42:55Speaker 2: and it all came to light in this congressional hearing
- 42:59Speaker 2: back back in September of this year, right yeah.
- 43:04Speaker 10: And so you know, one of the people who I
- 43:06Speaker 10: really got to know very well in the writing of
- 43:08Speaker 10: Catastrophic Disclosure is Congressman Eric Berlison, who released that video
- 43:14Speaker 10: of the hellfire and missile going after the UFO off
- 43:17Speaker 10: the coast of Yemen. And you know, Eric and I
- 43:20Speaker 10: kind of have the same sort of approach to these things,
- 43:24Speaker 10: which is, I can't tell you what's true, but we
- 43:27Speaker 10: really have a good sense of when people are lying
- 43:29Speaker 10: to us.
- 43:30Speaker 2: And so.
- 43:32Speaker 10: And you know, I really had a good time writing
- 43:35Speaker 10: this book trying to tell the narrative of UFOs, because
- 43:40Speaker 10: there are certain parts of the UFO story which didn't
- 43:43Speaker 10: make sense to me. Like I understood how people were
- 43:46Speaker 10: saying that the explosion of the first atomic bomb created
- 43:51Speaker 10: an interest in our species by these aliens, But I
- 43:55Speaker 10: was wondering to myself, Okay, I don't understand the Roswells
- 44:00Speaker 10: the Roswell story, because we blew up the first atomic
- 44:03Speaker 10: bomb in July fifteenth of nineteen forty five, right, and
- 44:08Speaker 10: it takes till July of forty seven for these craft
- 44:12Speaker 10: to show up, and that led me to a great
- 44:15Speaker 10: book by Jacques Valat and Paula Harris. Now your audience
- 44:19Speaker 10: will know Jacques Valai is one of the leading UFO experts,
- 44:23Speaker 10: but he claimed that there was a UFO crash earlier
- 44:25Speaker 10: than Roswell, basically one month after the explosion of the
- 44:30Speaker 10: first atomic bomb. It's called the Trinity Incident, and they
- 44:34Speaker 10: were just the crash UFO was discovered by two young
- 44:37Speaker 10: boys on horseback. And parts of the Roswell story didn't
- 44:40Speaker 10: make sense to me because when you read Roswell, it
- 44:43Speaker 10: seems like the military knew what they were doing with
- 44:46Speaker 10: crash retrieval. And you know, I'm a big you know,
- 44:52Speaker 10: I'm very interested in like organizational behavior, like how do
- 44:55Speaker 10: organizations respond to things? And as I was reading, I
- 45:00Speaker 10: was like, they know what they're doing. And when I
- 45:03Speaker 10: looked at the Trinity Incident, it was very much like
- 45:07Speaker 10: you would expect.
- 45:08Speaker 9: This is the first time they knew what was going on.
- 45:11Speaker 10: And what's really interesting about when you look at it
- 45:13Speaker 10: through that frame is we're the Japanese surrendered on August fifteenth,
- 45:20Speaker 10: nineteen forty five, and so I'm putting my mind in
- 45:24Speaker 10: myself in the mind of a World War two general.
- 45:27Speaker 10: You know, you go to bed on the night of
- 45:28Speaker 10: August fifteenth saying, Okay, this.
- 45:31Speaker 9: Brutal four year war is over.
- 45:33Speaker 10: And the next day you're going to work and your
- 45:35Speaker 10: adjutant comes up and says, hey, sir, we had something
- 45:38Speaker 10: crash in New Mexico.
- 45:40Speaker 3: What is it?
- 45:41Speaker 9: Nazi? Is it? Is it Japanese?
- 45:43Speaker 8: No, sir, it's none of those.
- 45:45Speaker 9: Okay.
- 45:46Speaker 10: Then kind of this cover up makes a lot of
- 45:49Speaker 10: sense to me because you're still in the World War
- 45:50Speaker 10: two mindset.
- 45:52Speaker 2: Well, we have all of these conspiracies that surround what
- 45:58Speaker 2: are alleged to be government cover up. So you can
- 46:00Speaker 2: go back, obviously to the jfk assassination, which still it
- 46:05Speaker 2: grips people to this day and people question the official story.
- 46:11Speaker 2: And the UFO story is no different because it's gone
- 46:15Speaker 2: on and on and on with millions of people seeing
- 46:19Speaker 2: things that cannot be explained. And then you've got these
- 46:24Speaker 2: military members and whistleblowers who are claiming that they've had
- 46:28Speaker 2: retaliation against them for coming forward with information that the
- 46:32Speaker 2: top brass doesn't want the public to see.
- 46:35Speaker 10: Yeah, and I think that you're exactly right about that.
- 46:39Speaker 10: And like I say, I've never seen a UFO, no abduction.
- 46:43Speaker 9: Nothing like that.
- 46:44Speaker 10: But I can't talk about this subject with friends without like,
- 46:49Speaker 10: you know, one or two of them going, hey, I
- 46:51Speaker 10: had an incident, and you know, it's like, yeah, my
- 46:54Speaker 10: longtime editor, Max Swofford, I've been working with them for
- 46:58Speaker 10: eleven years, and saiday, I'm doing a UFO book Max,
- 47:02Speaker 10: you know, and he goes, oh, have I told you
- 47:04Speaker 10: about my UFO experience?
- 47:05Speaker 6: And it's like, this is.
- 47:06Speaker 10: Somebody I've known for fifteen twenty years and suddenly he's
- 47:11Speaker 10: talking about it. And I think all of us who
- 47:14Speaker 10: haven't seen anything have had the experience of people we
- 47:17Speaker 10: know and respect and trust telling us these stories, and
- 47:21Speaker 10: so we're curious.
- 47:23Speaker 2: Yeah. Indeed, the book is catastrophic disclosure the deep State
- 47:27Speaker 2: Aliens in the Truth. The author our guest Kent Heck
- 47:31Speaker 2: and Lively, and the book is out on Tuesday on
- 47:35Speaker 2: post Till Press. I wish you great success with the book, Kent,
- 47:38Speaker 2: thanks for coming on. Thanks lot carry you bet. We'll
- 47:43Speaker 2: continue in moments.
- 47:45Speaker 1: This is Ted Cruz. Join me Sunday night at seven pm.
- 47:48Speaker 10: On fifteen Highway Chuck Ingram on fifty five kr SE
- 47:51Speaker 10: the talk station.
- 47:54Speaker 2: It is nineteen minutes past the hour on this Friday morning.
- 47:57Speaker 2: Gary Jeffen for Brian Thomas, I'm fifty five to RCV
- 48:00Speaker 2: talk station to claim five nine fIF If you were
- 48:08Speaker 2: one of the people who accused Kroger in particular price
- 48:12Speaker 2: gouging during the scam demic, the COVID scam demic, maybe
- 48:17Speaker 2: it wasn't Kroger and you were shopping at Kroger, but
- 48:22Speaker 2: many people, especially at the height of the scam demic,
- 48:28Speaker 2: found it hard to get ahead of let us at Kroger. Uh.
- 48:35Speaker 2: This is a story, of course, said the former Kroger buyer.
- 48:40Speaker 2: Pleading guilty to produce kickback schemes. Forty year old Mark
- 48:50Speaker 2: dis Bennett from Westchester pleaded guilty to charges related to
- 48:53Speaker 2: a kickback scheme that caused consumers to pay high prices
- 48:56Speaker 2: higher prices for produce. This is how it worked. Was
- 49:00Speaker 2: trying to understand this. I think I finally got a
- 49:03Speaker 2: handle on it. He was accused of disclosing to co
- 49:06Speaker 2: conspirator produce vendors the absolute highest price Kroker was willing
- 49:12Speaker 2: to pay for certain produce, so they could jack up
- 49:16Speaker 2: up to that level, even though they could have made
- 49:19Speaker 2: a profit. At a lower level, but not that kind
- 49:21Speaker 2: of profit, and so the prices for consumers on certain
- 49:27Speaker 2: produce items skyrocketed and dispent it. According to what they discovered,
- 49:38Speaker 2: Dispenant received more than one hundred and forty seven thousand
- 49:42Speaker 2: in kickback payments from the vendors. Pretty ingenious. I wonder
- 49:50Speaker 2: who's behind the price hikes in beef. That is a
- 49:55Speaker 2: multi layered kind of reason for beef prices being so
- 49:59Speaker 2: darn But we know about the produce. Now, why has
- 50:06Speaker 2: that salary costing me three dollars? It was this dude,
- 50:12Speaker 2: It wasn't Kroger. He was the third party buyer for Kroger. Well,
- 50:19Speaker 2: you know the ingenious thinking behind and inviting Ohio State
- 50:27Speaker 2: Highway Patrol into Cincinnati to help with law enforcement, mostly
- 50:32Speaker 2: traffic enforcement. It's paid off with twenty three felony arrests
- 50:38Speaker 2: so far since the middle of September. Yeah, that they
- 50:46Speaker 2: conducted five joint operations with Cincinnati police over five days,
- 50:50Speaker 2: had the helicopters up State troopers out in full force,
- 50:55Speaker 2: and they made twenty three felony arrests. When I heard
- 51:01Speaker 2: that they were going to be helping traffic enforcement in
- 51:04Speaker 2: Cincinnati to alleviate crime. I didn't know quite how that
- 51:09Speaker 2: was going to work, but apparently it worked pretty well
- 51:13Speaker 2: if they're making almost two dozen felony arrests in five
- 51:18Speaker 2: days time in five different operations. The police union passed
- 51:29Speaker 2: to vote of no confidence in Mayor purevol who sadly
- 51:34Speaker 2: the citizens of Cincinnati gave him the vote of confidence
- 51:37Speaker 2: and the votes at the ballot box. Just a week
- 51:40Speaker 2: and a half ago, the police chief, Theresa Thiji, placed
- 51:46Speaker 2: on leave. There's an interim chief and according to sources
- 51:53Speaker 2: the CPD, the police department continues to struggle with staffing.
- 51:59Speaker 2: According to the police union president Ken Kober, the department
- 52:03Speaker 2: has nine hundred and ten officers right now. The authorized
- 52:07Speaker 2: compliment is oney fifty nine, so they're down fourteen percent.
- 52:13Speaker 2: So as part of the solution to this, Governor Downe
- 52:18Speaker 2: offered for the Estate Patrol to come down to Cincinnati
- 52:21Speaker 2: for two days to conduct these joint operations. Officials said
- 52:26Speaker 2: from the beginning that residents would not be seeing large
- 52:28Speaker 2: numbers of state troopers on the streets. Officials said they
- 52:34Speaker 2: target known to armed offenders. You know, and here's the
- 52:37Speaker 2: thing about the criminals, and if you ask a law
- 52:43Speaker 2: enforcement officer. You ask a cop, he will tell you.
- 52:47Speaker 2: We know exactly who's committing the crime. We've arrested them
- 52:55Speaker 2: to no avail many times because of the revolving doors
- 53:00Speaker 2: or in the criminal justice system and liberal judges. The
- 53:08Speaker 2: fact is this partnership was launched and they were going
- 53:13Speaker 2: to target known armed defenders, which wasn't that hard to
- 53:18Speaker 2: do because the same finite number of people commit the
- 53:25Speaker 2: same crimes and different crimes, felonious, heinous crimes, over and
- 53:32Speaker 2: over and over again. The police know who they are.
- 53:35Speaker 2: Many cases, they know exactly where they are, and they
- 53:39Speaker 2: find themselves handcuffed for lack of a better term, to
- 53:47Speaker 2: exact justice and to ensure the safety of the public.
- 53:55Speaker 2: So when they started this out, a memo related to
- 54:02Speaker 2: the partnership said there was a desire to focus on
- 54:04Speaker 2: large drug seizures, organized crime, drug trafficking, firearms trafficking, drug
- 54:08Speaker 2: related violent crimes. The Highway Patrol has not highlighted many
- 54:12Speaker 2: arrests to fit that description. So the Ohio State Highway
- 54:21Speaker 2: Patrol has reported twenty three felony arrest as the article mentions,
- 54:26Speaker 2: served seven felony warrants, which means they arrested seven people
- 54:31Speaker 2: who were committing crimes before prior crimes. Among those were
- 54:37Speaker 2: two juveniles, a thirteen year old who fled from police
- 54:40Speaker 2: in a stolen car and caused a crash, and a
- 54:43Speaker 2: fifteen year old found with a gun one of them.
- 54:48Speaker 2: The other the adults that were arrested pulled over for
- 54:51Speaker 2: traffic violation found to have two felony strangulation warrants. A
- 54:56Speaker 2: guy you don't want on the streets. Somebody who was
- 55:01Speaker 2: located using the Highway Patrols helicopter during an investigation into
- 55:05Speaker 2: the assault on a police officer. He's charged with assault
- 55:08Speaker 2: on an officer, robbery and resisting arrest. Somebody else who
- 55:12Speaker 2: has stopped for multiple traffic violations. The troopers said. He
- 55:15Speaker 2: was found with a weapon, charged with operating under the
- 55:19Speaker 2: influence and improperly handling the gun. And it goes on
- 55:22Speaker 2: and on and on. All the cases still working their
- 55:24Speaker 2: way through the courts, and we'll see what the ultimate
- 55:27Speaker 2: outcomes of those are. If proven guilty, are they going
- 55:33Speaker 2: to jail for any length of time. But it's the
- 55:36Speaker 2: same people over and over and over again. Most of
- 55:41Speaker 2: the time. Not a lot of newbies, except maybe the
- 55:46Speaker 2: thirteen year old and the fifteen year old, but they're
- 55:48Speaker 2: just in training, as they say, six twenty seven. Coming
- 55:53Speaker 2: up next Adam Hardage, who has written a new book
- 55:56Speaker 2: called The Alpha Blueprint on how to prepare the next
- 56:00Speaker 2: generation for the great wave of AI that's about to
- 56:04Speaker 2: sweep over all of us. As we continue this morning
- 56:08Speaker 2: on fifty five KOC the talk station, Adam Hartage is
- 56:17Speaker 2: joining us now. Adam is an ex CIA ops officer,
- 56:21Speaker 2: as I just mentioned, and has written a book called
- 56:23Speaker 2: The Alpha Blueprint. It is out now. It is selling well.
- 56:27Speaker 2: And if you want to know the real inner workings
- 56:30Speaker 2: of how our intelligence agencies, particularly the CIA, led by
- 56:35Speaker 2: John Brennan, tried to totally take down a president and
- 56:40Speaker 2: the country and he's he I wouldn't say he knows
- 56:46Speaker 2: where the bodies are buried, but he knows who's had
- 56:49Speaker 2: their hands on the shovels Adam Hartage, Welcome to the show.
- 56:53Speaker 2: How are you?
- 56:54Speaker 9: I'm well sure, thanks for having me. I appreciate it.
- 56:57Speaker 2: Great here the Alpha blue Print. But what is the
- 57:00Speaker 2: gist of this tone sir?
- 57:03Speaker 11: Yeah, so it is a father's guide to the next
- 57:07Speaker 11: generation on how to prepare them for entering a world
- 57:11Speaker 11: driven by AI, where it is almost impossible to discern
- 57:16Speaker 11: truth from fiction and where AI has an essence democratized
- 57:22Speaker 11: PhD level of intelligence worldwide for about twenty bucks a month.
- 57:26Speaker 11: So it's a guide for the next generation on how
- 57:31Speaker 11: to maintain their own individuality, to find their God given
- 57:35Speaker 11: purpose in life, and to stay relevant in a world
- 57:38Speaker 11: that's trying.
- 57:38Speaker 9: To make them a copy of a copy.
- 57:41Speaker 11: So it's a love letter from a father to the
- 57:43Speaker 11: next generation. And it's designed for families to step into
- 57:49Speaker 11: this most difficult conversation where parents are trying to figure
- 57:52Speaker 11: out how to guide their kids into a.
- 57:56Speaker 9: World where jobs are going.
- 57:58Speaker 11: To be going away faster then they can probably change
- 58:02Speaker 11: their college majors.
- 58:03Speaker 2: So, well, how does this tie in to what you
- 58:08Speaker 2: call the security state aristocracy?
- 58:11Speaker 11: And yeah, Well, so I look at the world through
- 58:17Speaker 11: a bit of a jaundice lens because I was a
- 58:19Speaker 11: military officer.
- 58:20Speaker 9: In the Global War on Terror era.
- 58:24Speaker 11: So I was I graduated from the Air Force Academy
- 58:26Speaker 11: in nineteen ninety seven and then as Air Force guide
- 58:28Speaker 11: and then I went over to the Army Special Forces
- 58:30Speaker 11: and then got picked up by the intelligence community to
- 58:34Speaker 11: go be a clandestine operations officer. And so I've served
- 58:37Speaker 11: in four Wars, and I've been around the world quite
- 58:40Speaker 11: a bit and I speak a few languages, and it's
- 58:42Speaker 11: really colored my perception of reality.
- 58:45Speaker 9: And the world.
- 58:47Speaker 11: And when I look at the emerging technology of AI.
- 58:50Speaker 9: It makes the ability.
- 58:52Speaker 11: To deceive people and to hide the truth very, very easy.
- 58:58Speaker 9: And so I'm trying to arm the next generation with.
- 59:02Speaker 11: The abilities to see through the lies and to come
- 59:05Speaker 11: up with some real practical steps that they can have
- 59:08Speaker 11: and that their parents can give them to maintain, you know,
- 59:12Speaker 11: sanity in a frankly.
- 59:14Speaker 9: Insane, upside down world. And this relates to the deep
- 59:17Speaker 9: state and.
- 59:18Speaker 11: To the to the greater security architecture that we've seen
- 59:22Speaker 11: around the world, because if you just look at the
- 59:25Speaker 11: lie that was COVID, and I'm not saying that COVID
- 59:28Speaker 11: was not an actual disease.
- 59:29Speaker 9: I'm not saying that it did not exist. What I'm
- 59:31Speaker 9: saying is.
- 59:33Speaker 11: The coordinated global response to the disease, to the pandemic
- 59:37Speaker 11: is what people should be paying attention to, because that
- 59:40Speaker 11: was a globally coordinated information operation simply designed to take
- 59:44Speaker 11: down a sitting president Well and.
- 59:47Speaker 2: And Well and Adam when they come out. And there
- 59:52Speaker 2: are alternate views of treatment and all of that is
- 59:57Speaker 2: censored and people are losing their medical practice. This is
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: because they're saying, you know, no, you shouldn't be. You
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: shouldn't be you know, innovating people at this rate, there
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: are other treatments besides just incarcerating people in hospital rooms
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: and letting them die and there. You know, there are
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: so many things about that whole period of time that
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: I railed against without the Afoor knowledge.
- 1:00:27Speaker 11: Yeah, let's talk about that, because at the time running
- 1:00:30Speaker 11: I was, I had actually been fired by the CIA
- 1:00:33Speaker 11: in twenty seventeen after Director Brennan came into the station
- 1:00:39Speaker 11: and basically told us that we didn't need to listen
- 1:00:42Speaker 11: to the incoming President Trump forty five. And I lost
- 1:00:46Speaker 11: my mind and raised holy hell about that because it's
- 1:00:50Speaker 11: a it's against the oath of office.
- 1:00:53Speaker 9: B it's unconstitutional. There's a whole lot of problems that
- 1:00:55Speaker 9: I had with it.
- 1:00:56Speaker 11: Any rate, I was kind of shown the door by
- 1:01:00Speaker 11: the agency that and for another thing about that had
- 1:01:05Speaker 11: to do with the very program that Director of National
- 1:01:07Speaker 11: Intelligence Tulcy Gabbert discussed at her confirmation hearing, which inquiring
- 1:01:12Speaker 11: minds want to know they can go back and watch
- 1:01:13Speaker 11: her confirmation hearing.
- 1:01:14Speaker 9: I know that we're limited on time, so I'll move on,
- 1:01:17Speaker 9: but I will say that.
- 1:01:19Speaker 11: So I started running a telehealth company in twenty seventeen,
- 1:01:22Speaker 11: and when the pandemic hit.
- 1:01:25Speaker 9: We saw very quickly that they that the government was
- 1:01:30Speaker 9: forcibly removing.
- 1:01:33Speaker 11: Evidence and healthcare providers that were trying to provide known
- 1:01:39Speaker 11: therapeutic treatment that would that would either cure or correct
- 1:01:44Speaker 11: the disease that I mean, we're talking about the hydroxychloroquin
- 1:01:48Speaker 11: and ivermac no multi vitamins I had.
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: I had those healthcare professionals on the air at the time,
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: and thankfully I was allowed to, you know, have them
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: on disseminate that information. But it was roundly poo pooed
- 1:02:04Speaker 2: by all the establishment sources, and you know, I was
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: I was regarded by people I even worked with as
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: some kind of kook because I wasn't adhering to the narrative.
- 1:02:16Speaker 11: Yeah, listen to this, and that's I go into this
- 1:02:18Speaker 11: in the book a lot too, because I'm trying to
- 1:02:20Speaker 11: help kids figure out how to discern truth and understand
- 1:02:24Speaker 11: when they're.
- 1:02:24Speaker 9: Being manipulated and lied to. So check this out.
- 1:02:27Speaker 11: When I went on national news and I called the
- 1:02:29Speaker 11: pandemic for what it was, and I was immediately canceled.
- 1:02:34Speaker 11: Our company was ultimately destroyed. But I mean when I
- 1:02:37Speaker 11: say canceled, like we could not run ads on Google.
- 1:02:42Speaker 11: I was banned from Facebook, from Twitter, from Instagram. We
- 1:02:47Speaker 11: lost our corporate insurance, We lost all of our contracts
- 1:02:50Speaker 11: with the Defense Department, of which we had already won
- 1:02:52Speaker 11: a dozen contracts.
- 1:02:54Speaker 9: We lost them all. We lost our corporate insurance, we
- 1:02:58Speaker 9: lost the ability process credit cards twice, we.
- 1:03:01Speaker 11: Were deplatformed across every single thing. But the most amazing
- 1:03:05Speaker 11: part of it all was how reality could change faster
- 1:03:09Speaker 11: then we could even respond to it as a company.
- 1:03:12Speaker 9: And this was before the advent of AI. Right now,
- 1:03:14Speaker 9: we live in a.
- 1:03:15Speaker 11: World which is hyper hyper hyper informationally skewable, if you will.
- 1:03:23Speaker 9: And it's become very very difficult for people to even
- 1:03:26Speaker 9: know what is real or which way is up.
- 1:03:28Speaker 11: So that is why I wrote this book, The Alpha Blueprint,
- 1:03:32Speaker 11: and I highly recommend everyone get a copy of it,
- 1:03:35Speaker 11: because this is a conversation that every parent needs to
- 1:03:37Speaker 11: be having with their kids, like how are you what are.
- 1:03:40Speaker 8: You going to do?
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: Mom?
- 1:03:41Speaker 3: And dad?
- 1:03:42Speaker 9: You know, my daughter is ten years old, my son
- 1:03:44Speaker 9: is seven years old. What am I going to tell them?
- 1:03:46Speaker 11: Go get a fortune five hundred job and work for
- 1:03:49Speaker 11: thirty years and expect that Medicare and Social Security are going.
- 1:03:52Speaker 9: To be there for you.
- 1:03:53Speaker 11: I don't think that world exists anymore. And so since
- 1:03:56Speaker 11: AI is replacing jobs faster, then.
- 1:03:59Speaker 9: They can even create manuals to tell the robots what
- 1:04:02Speaker 9: to do.
- 1:04:03Speaker 11: People have to figure out how to find their divine
- 1:04:05Speaker 11: spark and how to really stay real in a world
- 1:04:09Speaker 11: that is trying to make anything but real.
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: Very scary stuff, and I'm glad that there's somebody out
- 1:04:15Speaker 2: there shining a light and warning people and letting people
- 1:04:20Speaker 2: know that there's another way. Adam Hartage is that guy.
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: The book is the Alpha Blueprint. It's out now, right, Adam.
- 1:04:28Speaker 11: Yeah, it's out and now it's on Amazon dot com.
- 1:04:29Speaker 11: And I want to give a shout out to General Flynn,
- 1:04:32Speaker 11: America's General mild boss, who was kind enough to write
- 1:04:36Speaker 11: the forward for the book and endorse it.
- 1:04:38Speaker 9: So if anybody's wondering about either the credibility of the
- 1:04:41Speaker 9: book or the.
- 1:04:42Speaker 11: Information that's in there, General Flynn should put their mind
- 1:04:45Speaker 11: at ease. So you know, I love God, I love America,
- 1:04:48Speaker 11: I love freedom and the truth. And that's what I
- 1:04:51Speaker 11: stand for and I will fight for it while I
- 1:04:53Speaker 11: have breath in my lungs.
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: Amen. Brother, thank you so much.
- 1:04:58Speaker 9: Absolutely, thank you for your time. I appreciate it.
- 1:05:00Speaker 2: And God bless God, bless you again. That's Adam Hartage.
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: The book The Alpha blue Print, something that you need
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: to look at and pass along to the next generation.
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: Fifty five KRC.
- 1:05:15Speaker 2: I knew it was a bomb, the second nature. So
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: the question this morning is how is your Atlantic meridianal
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: overturning circulation or AMOC? And last time I checked, mine
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: was fine. But according to a new study published in
- 1:05:37Speaker 2: a journal known as the Communications Earth and Environment and
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: Apocalyptic Prediction, Yeah, here's another climate change is going to
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: end the Earth as we know it. A key Atlantic current,
- 1:05:55Speaker 2: the Gulf Stream, which is the actually the scientific name
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: is the Atlantic meridianal overturning circulation. I bet you fit
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: that into a sentence today. A key Atlantic current, the
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: Gulf Stream, could be pushed to the brink of collapse
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: within decades, ushering in a new ice age and dramatically
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: raising sea levels. How many times have we heard the
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: predictions of doom and gloom and dire environmental results because
- 1:06:30Speaker 2: of climate change. There was a collaboration between researchers at
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: the Institute of Oceanology in the Chinese Academy of Sciences
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: and the University of California, San Diego, and the current
- 1:06:50Speaker 2: it includes the Gulf Stream runs from the Gulf of
- 1:06:53Speaker 2: Mexico to the US East Coast and across the Atlantic
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: to Europe. This study or this research says that the
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: source of this marine temperature regulator, the Greenland Ice Sheet,
- 1:07:07Speaker 2: is being thought amid warming temperatures, causing meltwater runoff to
- 1:07:11Speaker 2: lead or leach into the North Atlantic, leading to stagnation.
- 1:07:16Speaker 2: And if none of this is alarming you yet, well
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: you've learned, haven't you.
- 1:07:23Speaker 5: You.
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: We have all been through the wood chipper of climate
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: alarmism so many times. It's the boy who cried wolf syndrome,
- 1:07:39Speaker 2: and most of us who have any sense at all
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: aren't listening anymore because there's always flawed data. It's either
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: going to be boiling or we're going to go into
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: a new ice age. They've been making these wild predictions
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: ever since the early nineteen seventies when we were headed
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: for a new ice age, and then it was all
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: about gloom of warming, and they had certain certain years
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: this was gonna happen within the next twelve years. If
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: we don't, even if we do something drastic, this is
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: gonna happen by twenty twenty or twenty ten or nineteen
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: seventy five. It's just it's such a joke, and it
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: all revolves around the paid for claim that man's activity
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: and fossil fuels are fueling climate change. What has always
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: happened on this earth And some of the people who
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: are still falling for this nonsense will tell you, yeah,
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: but it's never happened this fast. Really, what about the
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: mini ice age in the seventeen hundreds. It happened pretty fast.
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: So apparently there's a distinctive temperature fingerprint, according to this study,
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: located between three two and eighty to over a mile
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: six fifty sixty sixty five sixty feet below the ocean's surface.
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: So anyway, the AMOC, the Atlantic Ma Dianal overturning circulation
- 1:09:34Speaker 2: is changing and we all need to put up windmills.
- 1:09:42Speaker 2: Whoever is paying for this is dictating the data and
- 1:09:48Speaker 2: the computer modeling that spits out the false data. Most
- 1:09:55Speaker 2: of us have learned to ignore, but this is the latest.
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: Just so you know, I'm worried that my amok has
- 1:10:03Speaker 2: run amock six forty eight fifty five KRC the talk station.
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: This is the time of the year most of us
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: are checking off. There is this report out and this
- 1:10:17Speaker 2: is not new information. Apparently I didn't notice the story
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: last year. For the second straight year, about one in
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: five Americans said they would like to leave the US
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: and move permanently to another country if they could. In
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, the year of Our Lord, forty percent
- 1:10:42Speaker 2: of women age fifteen to forty four said they would
- 1:10:44Speaker 2: move abroad permanently if they had the opportunity, four times
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: higher than the ten percent who shared this desire eleven
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: years ago in twenty fourteen, which shod that was usually
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: in line with other age and gender groups. I have
- 1:11:00Speaker 2: never had the desire to go to another country, and
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: as a result, as a matter of fact, I've never
- 1:11:07Speaker 2: been to another country. I mean, there are places I'd
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: like to see, but you know, I watched the Travel
- 1:11:14Speaker 2: Channel when they don't have some stupid paranormal thing on,
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: you know, so I can travel vicariously. Loved watching Anthony
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: Bourdain and is no reservations going to distant lands, eating
- 1:11:31Speaker 2: exotic food, and seeing the sights of a beautiful beach
- 1:11:36Speaker 2: or a volcano or whatever he was visiting at the time.
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: That's about the extent of my travelogue. I like the
- 1:11:46Speaker 2: good old us of a But apparently there's been a
- 1:11:51Speaker 2: sharp rise, especially in younger women wanting to leave the
- 1:11:54Speaker 2: United States. And I'm going to say something that not
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: going to get me in trouble at my age, because
- 1:12:01Speaker 2: I mean, unless it's a daughter or a granddaughter, I
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: have no interest in younger women. My wife is listening,
- 1:12:11Speaker 2: she'll be glad to know this. And she is a
- 1:12:15Speaker 2: younger woman. I mean she's not fifteen to forty four,
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: but she's younger than me. That's as young as I
- 1:12:22Speaker 2: need to get right there. So I mean, if a
- 1:12:26Speaker 2: bunch of gen Z women left the country, the result,
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: the effect for me would be the same thing as
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: Rosie O'Donnell leaving the country or or whomever sizza. I mean,
- 1:12:45Speaker 2: if they want to go, go, but if they think
- 1:12:48Speaker 2: that there's a place that's better on the globe for
- 1:12:54Speaker 2: personal aspiration, for opportunity, for happiness, well they've been misled
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: by tik Tok and Taylor Swift. That's all I got
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: to say about that. It's six fifty five. Coming up
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: after the news break, we'll have Tom Caldwell. Tom Caldwell
- 1:13:17Speaker 2: is a January sixth survivor. No, he wasn't part of
- 1:13:23Speaker 2: the DC Metropolice or in Congress, and know he did
- 1:13:29Speaker 2: not commit any violent acts and yet still spent fifty
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: days in solitary confinement and his life was ruined all
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: because he was a supporter of President Trump. His story
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: slightly varies from other people who are arrested at the
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: Capitol that day, and he will tell a portion of
- 1:13:51Speaker 2: it and plug his book right after seven o'clock Gary
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: Jeff Walker and for Brian Thomas at six fifty six
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: at fifty five KRC, the talk station.
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: Today's top headlines coming up at the top of the hour.
- 1:14:10Speaker 2: It's a conversation with the decorated Navy Lieutenant Commander Thomas E.
- 1:14:16Speaker 2: Called Well, a man in his sixties, disabled VET living
- 1:14:21Speaker 2: peacefully on his Virginia farm when the FBI executed a
- 1:14:25Speaker 2: pre don swat raid. What were the charges against Tom
- 1:14:30Speaker 2: called Well? That he was a leader of the oath
- 1:14:33Speaker 2: keepers who stormed the Capitol and hunted down members of
- 1:14:36Speaker 2: Congress on January sixth. Tom was never a member of
- 1:14:41Speaker 2: the oath Keepers. He never entered the Capitol, he never
- 1:14:44Speaker 2: planned an attack. The government has admitted in the aftermath
- 1:14:49Speaker 2: of all of this that this didn't happen, but not
- 1:14:55Speaker 2: before Tom spent over fifty days in solitary confinement endeared
- 1:14:59Speaker 2: e years of prosecution and persecution. He has a book
- 1:15:05Speaker 2: he says he started writing it the day he got
- 1:15:07Speaker 2: out of solitary confinement, called The Mouths of the Wicked,
- 1:15:12Speaker 2: a true January sixth story of corruption, persecution, survival and victory.
- 1:15:17Speaker 2: It is out now and we have its author. Lieutenant Commander.
- 1:15:21Speaker 2: Welcome to the Nightcap.
- 1:15:22Speaker 6: How are you, Thank you, mister Walker. It's a pleasure
- 1:15:25Speaker 6: to be with you and Sharon and I here in
- 1:15:27Speaker 6: our humble place in the valley of Virginia. Are just
- 1:15:30Speaker 6: fine and dandy, all right?
- 1:15:32Speaker 2: Oh, first and foremost, what did you think about your
- 1:15:37Speaker 2: governor's race that just concluded?
- 1:15:41Speaker 6: Well, I'm disappointing here in Virginia. And if people look
- 1:15:45Speaker 6: at a map of Virginia, they'll see so much of
- 1:15:48Speaker 6: this beautiful state is solidly conservative and Christian conservative. Accept
- 1:15:53Speaker 6: in places where you would expect a concentration of people
- 1:15:57Speaker 6: on the grift and on the government goal in Fairfax,
- 1:16:01Speaker 6: all church right across the Potomac from DC. This is
- 1:16:04Speaker 6: a it's a rough time because the incoming governor has
- 1:16:08Speaker 6: made it clear that she's anti gun, she's pro abortion,
- 1:16:13Speaker 6: she's anti women's rights, pro men in little girl's locker rooms.
- 1:16:19Speaker 6: It seems like the devil has the people by the
- 1:16:21Speaker 6: throat in Virginia.
- 1:16:22Speaker 2: Well, we are still living in that world. We're living
- 1:16:25Speaker 2: in a fallen world, but we know how it ends ultimately,
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: and that's the positive thing that we can grab a
- 1:16:31Speaker 2: hold of.
- 1:16:32Speaker 6: Correct Indeed, indeed, and I'll tell you, as you well
- 1:16:35Speaker 6: know and your listeners will be interested to know, my
- 1:16:38Speaker 6: story is very different the story of any other January
- 1:16:42Speaker 6: sixth defendant that you've ever heard from. Even if people
- 1:16:46Speaker 6: think that they know something about my case because they
- 1:16:49Speaker 6: did a Google search, I can tell you that all
- 1:16:52Speaker 6: they have seen is stuff that is totally false, invented
- 1:16:55Speaker 6: by the prosecutors, and most of the time blown away
- 1:16:59Speaker 6: during a ten and a half week jury trial that
- 1:17:02Speaker 6: I was subjected to. In the book, I talk about
- 1:17:05Speaker 6: things that have been actively kept away from the American public.
- 1:17:10Speaker 6: As you pointed out, I didn't do anything on January sixth.
- 1:17:13Speaker 6: In fact, my wife and I were together every moment
- 1:17:16Speaker 6: of the day. We went only to hear President Trump
- 1:17:19Speaker 6: give his last address, and also to hear a myriad
- 1:17:22Speaker 6: of other conservative and Christian speakers who were scheduled to
- 1:17:27Speaker 6: appear that day and talk to the crowd. The FBI
- 1:17:31Speaker 6: did zero investigation on me before they sent the SWAT
- 1:17:34Speaker 6: team here. And when Sharon was able to get a
- 1:17:39Speaker 6: lawyer who wanted to help a January sixth defendant, after
- 1:17:43Speaker 6: she came up with a six figure retainer for the guy,
- 1:17:47Speaker 6: and I'm looking at him through bulletproof last in my
- 1:17:50Speaker 6: solitary confinement dungeon chain handed book. He looked at me
- 1:17:55Speaker 6: and he said, you know, Tom, the DOJ knows you're innocent,
- 1:17:58Speaker 6: but they don't care. Now that's chilling.
- 1:18:02Speaker 2: How do you think you got on this list of theirs? Tom?
- 1:18:06Speaker 6: I am a member of the Oath Keepers, who, as
- 1:18:10Speaker 6: you are well aware, are not a white supremacist group.
- 1:18:13Speaker 6: They are a community activist group that helps in times
- 1:18:17Speaker 6: of natural disasters. During the summer of twenty twenty, they
- 1:18:22Speaker 6: came to start doing some security work for conservative and
- 1:18:26Speaker 6: Christian speakers who are being attacked by Antifa, especially in Washington, DC.
- 1:18:31Speaker 6: Most of the oath Keepers are veterans, of course, and
- 1:18:36Speaker 6: I met one, actually, a young lady who had served
- 1:18:40Speaker 6: with a Ranger battalion in the Sandbox in Afghanistan, the
- 1:18:43Speaker 6: kind of person I have a lot of respect for,
- 1:18:46Speaker 6: and being an old guy, and I said, you know
- 1:18:48Speaker 6: what it says at Romans twelve, we're supposed to practice hospitality.
- 1:18:53Speaker 6: If you ever get broken down in DC, give a call.
- 1:18:56Speaker 6: Our farm is not that far away. And she walked
- 1:18:58Speaker 6: away with my phone phone number in her phone and
- 1:19:02Speaker 6: my first name, but she couldn't even remember my last name.
- 1:19:05Speaker 6: That's how casual our meeting had been. But she remembered,
- 1:19:10Speaker 6: and she did what many veterans do. They refer to
- 1:19:14Speaker 6: each other by the rank that they held on active duties.
- 1:19:17Speaker 6: So sure enough, in her phone, the listing became Commander
- 1:19:22Speaker 6: Tom because I was a lieutenant commander.
- 1:19:24Speaker 7: In the NAB.
- 1:19:25Speaker 6: When they they flashbanged her apartment a week or so
- 1:19:30Speaker 6: after January sixth, only because she was a member of
- 1:19:33Speaker 6: the Oathkeepers, they scooped up her phone and mister Walker
- 1:19:36Speaker 6: within two hours of getting her phone, an FBI special
- 1:19:41Speaker 6: agent had a Federal judge's signature on a warrant for
- 1:19:44Speaker 6: my arrest as Commander Tom, the commander of the oath
- 1:19:47Speaker 6: keepers and the mastermind of January sixth.
- 1:19:50Speaker 2: You were a lieutenant commander in the navy. But because
- 1:19:53Speaker 2: she wrote Commander Tom, apparently you're the one who's who's
- 1:19:57Speaker 2: making all the calls and planning whatever that they concocted,
- 1:20:02Speaker 2: that they dreamed up or they lied about. What did
- 1:20:05Speaker 2: the FBI tell you, if anything, on the morning of
- 1:20:10Speaker 2: the swat rate on your farm? What did they say?
- 1:20:14Speaker 6: Well, I submitted to a three hour interrogation. Some would
- 1:20:18Speaker 6: call it a gestapo grilling because I didn't have anything
- 1:20:22Speaker 6: to hide, and during that time they accused me of
- 1:20:25Speaker 6: doing this and that. And yet they had scraped all
- 1:20:29Speaker 6: of the pictures that I had taken off, you know,
- 1:20:32Speaker 6: on January sixth. They were all on my phone. My
- 1:20:35Speaker 6: wife and I took over two hundred photos, sometimes crowd shots,
- 1:20:40Speaker 6: sometimes selfies, videos, and we went through them and they
- 1:20:43Speaker 6: were accusing me of all this twaddle, and I said,
- 1:20:46Speaker 6: can you show me any violence here? Can you show
- 1:20:49Speaker 6: what part of the day are you talking about. It
- 1:20:52Speaker 6: got to the point where they knew they had made
- 1:20:55Speaker 6: a mistake. And they were busy, and they were texting
- 1:20:58Speaker 6: the Department of Justice saying and what do he want
- 1:21:01Speaker 6: us to do with this guy? But the Department of
- 1:21:03Speaker 6: Justice was still hard over. One of the things that
- 1:21:05Speaker 6: really bugged me during that interrogation was to find that
- 1:21:10Speaker 6: the hatred for veterans, of course I did almost twenty
- 1:21:13Speaker 6: years day per day on active duty in the Naty,
- 1:21:16Speaker 6: was palpable. They said, well, you know, you military people,
- 1:21:21Speaker 6: you just kill people. You're just a violent bunch of people.
- 1:21:24Speaker 6: Then they got into the well, I guess you're sorry
- 1:21:27Speaker 6: that you supported President Trump. Now, huh. All of this
- 1:21:31Speaker 6: stuff is recorded in the transcripts of the video that
- 1:21:36Speaker 6: they surreptitiously took of my three hour interrogation. I'm telling you,
- 1:21:41Speaker 6: there's so much stuff here in this book, mister Walker.
- 1:21:44Speaker 6: People are going to say, what are.
- 1:21:46Speaker 7: You kidding me?
- 1:21:47Speaker 6: And I will tell you this is not a woe
- 1:21:51Speaker 6: is Knee story, and it's not a revenge story. But
- 1:21:54Speaker 6: I wanted to share my wife and my story and
- 1:21:57Speaker 6: what I hope readers will finally be a compelling a
- 1:22:00Speaker 6: first person style. I think people sometimes do read books
- 1:22:04Speaker 6: nowadays if they're different and there's a real story and
- 1:22:07Speaker 6: I'll tell you what. As an intelligence officer by trade
- 1:22:11Speaker 6: and training, you better know that I bring the receipts
- 1:22:14Speaker 6: and I expose a multi agency plot. There's intrigues, fear, pain,
- 1:22:20Speaker 6: courtroom stuff, stuff will make you laugh out loud, and
- 1:22:24Speaker 6: miracles provided by the Lord. Because in the final analysis,
- 1:22:28Speaker 6: during this entire time in this country, justice is just us.
- 1:22:34Speaker 2: Tom Caldwell, if you will indulge me, I'm going to
- 1:22:38Speaker 2: take a quick break and come back and just a
- 1:22:40Speaker 2: few more questions I had. The book is The Mouths
- 1:22:42Speaker 2: of the Wicked, a true January sixth story of corruption, persecution,
- 1:22:46Speaker 2: survival and victory. The author is a veteran Navy Lieutenant
- 1:22:52Speaker 2: Commander Tom Caldwell, who was terribly mistreated by people in
- 1:22:59Speaker 2: a rogue justice system in this country. That was, obviously
- 1:23:04Speaker 2: and the most telling thing you just said, Tom, was
- 1:23:09Speaker 2: I bet you're glad, I bet you're you're sorry now
- 1:23:12Speaker 2: that you supported Donald Trump, because that's what it was
- 1:23:15Speaker 2: all about. We'll take a break and come right back
- 1:23:18Speaker 2: more with Tom Caldwell.
- 1:23:20Speaker 4: Next fifty five KRC King fifty.
- 1:23:23Speaker 2: Five KRC the talk station.
- 1:23:31Speaker 8: I hear the train of coming, it's rolling around Apin
- 1:23:35Speaker 8: and I seen the sunshine.
- 1:23:37Speaker 1: Since I don't know where I'm stuck in pulls in
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: prisons and time keeps dragging on, but that train keeps
- 1:23:49Speaker 1: the rolling.
- 1:23:51Speaker 2: Talking to Navy Lieutenant Tom Caldwell, author of The Mouths
- 1:23:55Speaker 2: of the Wicked, the True January sixth Story. His January
- 1:23:59Speaker 2: sixth story of how he was lied about false charges
- 1:24:05Speaker 2: put him in solitary confinement for fifty days before he
- 1:24:10Speaker 2: was finally exonerated after much expense and time taken away
- 1:24:19Speaker 2: from his life for no reason. Tom, I've heard others
- 1:24:23Speaker 2: horror stories about the dc gulag and being placed in
- 1:24:26Speaker 2: solitary confinement. Give us a thumbnail sketch on your incarceration.
- 1:24:34Speaker 6: I was not taken to what they call the DCG
- 1:24:36Speaker 6: but I was taken to probably the nastiest prison in
- 1:24:40Speaker 6: the state of Virginia. It's called the Central Virginia Regional
- 1:24:44Speaker 6: Jail in a little town that sounds nice, Orange, Virginia.
- 1:24:48Speaker 6: And from the time I got in there, I was
- 1:24:51Speaker 6: selected for special handling, and my world became sleeping on
- 1:24:55Speaker 6: a concrete floor with icy cold air blown on me
- 1:24:59Speaker 6: all the time. Four solid walls, free concrete and one
- 1:25:03Speaker 6: a solid steel door, and that was my world, and
- 1:25:07Speaker 6: in there, just like in the outer limits, they controlled
- 1:25:10Speaker 6: the horizontal and the vertical, so they had the ability
- 1:25:13Speaker 6: to manipulate me with sound and screams and flashing lights
- 1:25:19Speaker 6: and of course the favorite of darkness when they turn
- 1:25:23Speaker 6: out the lights four days at the time.
- 1:25:26Speaker 8: It's really really tough.
- 1:25:27Speaker 6: I think, long enough timeline, everybody's sanity might go to
- 1:25:31Speaker 6: zero in a situation like that where your only actual contact,
- 1:25:35Speaker 6: physical contact with people is a physical beating. For worse.
- 1:25:41Speaker 6: The prouty in the prison is just part of the story,
- 1:25:45Speaker 6: but it's an awful It was an awful part of
- 1:25:47Speaker 6: the story.
- 1:25:48Speaker 2: Were you denied legal assistance at the first time.
- 1:25:52Speaker 7: Yes.
- 1:25:53Speaker 6: The judge at my first bail hearing, which was a farce,
- 1:25:58Speaker 6: ask me, quite blank how much money you have in
- 1:26:00Speaker 6: the bank and I said, I don't know. I might
- 1:26:02Speaker 6: have a couple thousand dollars. She says, oh, that's enough.
- 1:26:05Speaker 6: You go get an attorney. But the problem is when
- 1:26:07Speaker 6: you're in solitary, how do you get an attorney. My wife,
- 1:26:10Speaker 6: while I was going through hell, was going through her
- 1:26:12Speaker 6: own help. She was trying to come up with the
- 1:26:14Speaker 6: money to find an attorney to get her husband out
- 1:26:17Speaker 6: and she knew this is a good situation for us.
- 1:26:21Speaker 6: Maybe not every other January sixth or had this situation,
- 1:26:24Speaker 6: but she knew I was in She didn't have to
- 1:26:26Speaker 6: be convinced because we were together in lockstep that entire
- 1:26:29Speaker 6: day and did nothing wrong. So she was trying as
- 1:26:32Speaker 6: hard as she could to save her man, knowing that
- 1:26:35Speaker 6: this was going to be a long, long battle against
- 1:26:37Speaker 6: these people. And even when I got out, the dirty
- 1:26:41Speaker 6: tricks kept coming, and they did their best to drive
- 1:26:44Speaker 6: us into bankruptcy. And my wife is a wonderful, wonderful lady,
- 1:26:49Speaker 6: and she said, you know what, there are a lot
- 1:26:51Speaker 6: of people that are taking plea deals. You and I
- 1:26:53Speaker 6: both know you're not going to do that, because you
- 1:26:55Speaker 6: don't swear to something you didn't do, and we don't.
- 1:26:59Speaker 6: She said, I don't if we lose everything we have,
- 1:27:02Speaker 6: which we pick came close to but we didn't, or
- 1:27:06Speaker 6: we have to live in the back of a car,
- 1:27:08Speaker 6: which we also didn't, Thank goodness. But she says, we're
- 1:27:12Speaker 6: going to find a hammer and tong all the way,
- 1:27:14Speaker 6: and that's what we did. It's only recently that I've
- 1:27:17Speaker 6: been able to talk about this because of the restrictions
- 1:27:20Speaker 6: that were put on me by the government, and even
- 1:27:24Speaker 6: with President Trump's personal pardon for me, not on the
- 1:27:29Speaker 6: day where he pardoned so many, but it came after
- 1:27:32Speaker 6: that when they really looked at what had been done
- 1:27:34Speaker 6: to me, not that there's going to be any recourse
- 1:27:37Speaker 6: and he pardoned me. You know, there's not any real restoration.
- 1:27:41Speaker 6: I am forever marred with the modern day equivalent of
- 1:27:46Speaker 6: the Scarlett letter J six. So my reputation is ruined.
- 1:27:50Speaker 6: But you know what, I'm free. I've had a lot
- 1:27:53Speaker 6: of time to think about this. I've chosen my words
- 1:27:55Speaker 6: carefully and they're here in the book, and there's stuff
- 1:27:58Speaker 6: like you have never hurt.
- 1:28:01Speaker 2: I cannot believe that there's no recourse for you to
- 1:28:05Speaker 2: sue them, to uh be be compensated for your lost time,
- 1:28:12Speaker 2: the ruination of your reputation, like you said, being tarred
- 1:28:15Speaker 2: and feathered and being left with that scarlet letter of
- 1:28:18Speaker 2: J six on you. Uh. I just there's something that's
- 1:28:24Speaker 2: just so unjust about it, even from true even from that,
- 1:28:29Speaker 2: even from that standpoint, it's obviously all unjust, all false,
- 1:28:34Speaker 2: all made up. But there's an unjustness in the fact
- 1:28:39Speaker 2: that you haven't been made a whold.
- 1:28:40Speaker 6: Tom well, that's true, and you know, I knew that
- 1:28:43Speaker 6: when this book came out, I was opening myself up
- 1:28:48Speaker 6: and that's true. The same the same lies that still
- 1:28:52Speaker 6: exists out there on the internet are just being recycled
- 1:28:55Speaker 6: and thrown at me things that we disproved.
- 1:28:57Speaker 8: And that's okay.
- 1:28:58Speaker 6: Uh, it was in important to tell the story. Some
- 1:29:01Speaker 6: people would say, hey, you dodge the bullet. Yeah, maybe
- 1:29:04Speaker 6: I did, But shouldn't I shine a flashlight in the
- 1:29:07Speaker 6: face of a gunman so that people would know what happened.
- 1:29:10Speaker 6: But in terms of being restored, the law says that
- 1:29:14Speaker 6: the prosecutors at the Department of Justice are the members
- 1:29:19Speaker 6: of the judiciary, all of the judges that heard these cases,
- 1:29:23Speaker 6: including mine in the DC circuit. They all operate under
- 1:29:26Speaker 6: a thing called absolute immunity, which is codified into law,
- 1:29:31Speaker 6: and that means they cannot be sued, so they can
- 1:29:35Speaker 6: lie and cheat and steal and falsify evidence like they
- 1:29:38Speaker 6: did in my case on suborn perjury, which they did,
- 1:29:42Speaker 6: and participate in witness tampering and every dirty trick you
- 1:29:46Speaker 6: can imagine, including having my Social Security stopped, having my
- 1:29:50Speaker 6: military medical benefits stop, and by extension, my wife's too.
- 1:29:54Speaker 6: Everything they could do to try to get me to
- 1:29:58Speaker 6: come and sign a piece of paper. These are things
- 1:30:01Speaker 6: that are going to be exposed when people read the book.
- 1:30:04Speaker 6: But you know that's the law. That stuff's been out
- 1:30:07Speaker 6: there for a long long time. Most people like you
- 1:30:10Speaker 6: and I were never exposed to the inner workings, the
- 1:30:14Speaker 6: dirty part of the lawfair and the weaponization. So now
- 1:30:18Speaker 6: we can put a real face on it. I want
- 1:30:20Speaker 6: to stay in my lane. I don't talk about everybody
- 1:30:23Speaker 6: else's chase at length, but when you see what we've
- 1:30:26Speaker 6: got documented, you're just going to want to tear your
- 1:30:29Speaker 6: hair out. And the laws that exist to protect these
- 1:30:31Speaker 6: people to do whatever they want to do for political gain,
- 1:30:36Speaker 6: for professional gain, and monetary gain, well those things need
- 1:30:40Speaker 6: to change. But I don't know how you and I
- 1:30:42Speaker 6: go about doing that, mister Walker.
- 1:30:44Speaker 2: Well, at least it's being exposed to the sunlight of
- 1:30:48Speaker 2: your book and conversations like this one. Again, there are
- 1:30:52Speaker 2: some who insist on due process, for example, for illegal
- 1:30:56Speaker 2: immigrants like Abrigo Garcia accused of of, you know, human trafficking,
- 1:31:03Speaker 2: and there's evidence to that, and people with known criminal backgrounds,
- 1:31:06Speaker 2: people with multiple not only charges but convictions, and the
- 1:31:11Speaker 2: question remains is where was Tom Caldwell's due process?
- 1:31:16Speaker 6: You know, my wife Sharon and I we we sit
- 1:31:18Speaker 6: here sometimes and we don't we don't hang on every
- 1:31:21Speaker 6: word or on the newscasts in the evening. We have
- 1:31:24Speaker 6: other things to do. Sure, but we'll we'll see something
- 1:31:28Speaker 6: like what you just mentioned, and she'lter to me and
- 1:31:31Speaker 6: she'll say, where where was Where were your rights? Where
- 1:31:34Speaker 6: was your due process? Why did why didn't you get
- 1:31:37Speaker 6: Chris van Holland to come and take you out for
- 1:31:39Speaker 6: margaritea those kinds of things, And it's just, you know,
- 1:31:42Speaker 6: we just kind of get a right smile and I
- 1:31:45Speaker 6: laugh together, as a loving husband and wife will tend
- 1:31:48Speaker 6: to do. But I'll tell you what, there's no way
- 1:31:50Speaker 6: that we could have gotten through this without our Lord
- 1:31:53Speaker 6: and Savior Jesus Christ.
- 1:31:54Speaker 2: Amen.
- 1:31:55Speaker 6: I hope that we make a strong enough statement about
- 1:31:59Speaker 6: that in the books. The miracles that came out during
- 1:32:03Speaker 6: the story that kept me from going back into prison,
- 1:32:07Speaker 6: possibly for life. Your listeners need to know. They wanted
- 1:32:11Speaker 6: to put me in prison for the rest of my life.
- 1:32:14Speaker 6: It is charged me with felonies.
- 1:32:17Speaker 2: Oh jeez, The Mouths of the Wicked, The True January
- 1:32:20Speaker 2: sixth story of Corruption, Persecution, survival and victory. It is
- 1:32:24Speaker 2: out now. The author Tom Caldwell. I am so glad
- 1:32:28Speaker 2: you're a freeman and I hope maybe this book will
- 1:32:32Speaker 2: go some ways to making your life better, Tom, when
- 1:32:35Speaker 2: people read your story and they understand. Thank you again
- 1:32:39Speaker 2: for your time, sir.
- 1:32:40Speaker 6: Well, thank you so much. If people do want to
- 1:32:42Speaker 6: find the book and want to find out what really happened,
- 1:32:45Speaker 6: you can find the book at Puffin Publishers dot com.

- 1:33:10Speaker 2: you by the lenders. Here see the talk station from
- 1:33:14Speaker 2: a January sixth survivor Tom Caldwell to a survivor so
- 1:33:19Speaker 2: far in the fourth District in Northern Kentucky. My Congressman
- 1:33:22Speaker 2: Thomas Massey joins us for a few minutes on this
- 1:33:27Speaker 2: Friday as a favor to me, and I really appreciate it.
- 1:33:30Speaker 2: Congressman Massey, how are we this morning.
- 1:33:34Speaker 12: We're doing good. I've had my first cup of coffee
- 1:33:37Speaker 12: and I'm ready to go at it.
- 1:33:39Speaker 2: All right, So my first question is, are you glad
- 1:33:44Speaker 2: that Chuck Schumer and the Democrats took some heat off you?
- 1:33:47Speaker 2: Because they're all calling it the Schumer and the Democrat
- 1:33:51Speaker 2: has shut down of the government, and I've not heard
- 1:33:54Speaker 2: your name mentioned as a nay vote on the CR
- 1:33:57Speaker 2: or anything else.
- 1:34:00Speaker 12: Well, you know, they called it the Schumer shutdown. I
- 1:34:03Speaker 12: called it the Epstein recess because Congress. You know, normally
- 1:34:08Speaker 12: when the government shuts down, Congress is in session working
- 1:34:13Speaker 12: on the solution. But for six weeks we've been in recess.
- 1:34:17Speaker 12: And the net effect of that recess was to delay
- 1:34:21Speaker 12: the swearing in of the two hundred and eighteenth signature
- 1:34:25Speaker 12: that I needed to force a vote on releasing the
- 1:34:27Speaker 12: Epstein files.
- 1:34:29Speaker 8: But to your but.
- 1:34:30Speaker 12: Before we switched to that, I want to address your point. Yes,
- 1:34:34Speaker 12: I did not vote for the Continuing Resolution that kicks
- 1:34:39Speaker 12: the canda January. And I'll tell you why. What happened
- 1:34:45Speaker 12: was ridiculous on both parts, on both parties, the Republicans
- 1:34:48Speaker 12: and the Democrats. I feel like it was a fake
- 1:34:51Speaker 12: fight over nothing. The Republicans opening offer back in September,
- 1:34:58Speaker 12: which they held for the same position for six weeks
- 1:35:02Speaker 12: and just voted for, was Joe Biden's budget. The Republicans said, here,
- 1:35:07Speaker 12: let's just do a continuing resolution. Now, a continuing resolution
- 1:35:11Speaker 12: means you do the same thing this year, any per penny,
- 1:35:14Speaker 12: dollar for dollar that you did last year. So the
- 1:35:17Speaker 12: Republicans said, let's do Joe Biden's budget this year, and
- 1:35:22Speaker 12: the Democrats said, no, we want more. And so that's
- 1:35:25Speaker 12: what the fight was over over the as far as
- 1:35:28Speaker 12: the funding goes for the last six weeks. And so
- 1:35:30Speaker 12: what I think you can take away that you know,
- 1:35:33Speaker 12: reporters have asked me, what can Republicans take away from
- 1:35:37Speaker 12: this six week fight? I said, well, you can take
- 1:35:42Speaker 12: away that if your opening offer is Joe Biden's budget,
- 1:35:47Speaker 12: that you can win a shutdown fight with the Democrats.
- 1:35:51Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:35:52Speaker 12: Well, and by the way, there was one very onerous
- 1:35:56Speaker 12: provision added to this continuing resolution, and that was a
- 1:36:01Speaker 12: ban on certain hemp derivatives, certain hemp products. And I
- 1:36:06Speaker 12: think although there probably needs to be regulation on the
- 1:36:11Speaker 12: hemp products that are psychoactive, that should be done at
- 1:36:15Speaker 12: the state level. And even if you wanted to do
- 1:36:17Speaker 12: it at the federal level. There was way to do
- 1:36:19Speaker 12: it without banning everything and destroying an entire industry in Kentucky,
- 1:36:25Speaker 12: which is what I'm afraid this bill will do. They
- 1:36:28Speaker 12: added that into the Continuing Resolution, a ban on certain
- 1:36:32Speaker 12: HMP products.
- 1:36:33Speaker 2: You know what taught about that, Thomas, is that hemp
- 1:36:37Speaker 2: from the very foundations of this country was it was
- 1:36:42Speaker 2: a It was a prime agricultural product. I mean, George
- 1:36:47Speaker 2: Washington grew hemp. The founding fathers, many of them who
- 1:36:51Speaker 2: were who were farming anyway, we're growing hemp, and it
- 1:36:55Speaker 2: was a vital part of their whole portfolio. And and
- 1:36:59Speaker 2: then there's this move afoot to stamp hemp out of
- 1:37:04Speaker 2: the of the legal framework of the economy. Do you
- 1:37:10Speaker 2: find that odd? I do?
- 1:37:12Speaker 12: I do find it odd. And you know for people
- 1:37:15Speaker 12: I'm running for reelection that but people say, well, what
- 1:37:20Speaker 12: have you gotten done? Well, one of the things I
- 1:37:22Speaker 12: got done in twenty thirteen, and this came out in
- 1:37:24Speaker 12: the twenty fourteen Farm Bill, was still legalized industrial hemp.
- 1:37:29Speaker 12: And that was an amendment to the Farm Bill that
- 1:37:33Speaker 12: I offered with Jared Polis and Earl Blumenauer, and it
- 1:37:37Speaker 12: got passed, it made it into the Farm Bill, and
- 1:37:40Speaker 12: they started We started growing hemp in Kentucky in twenty
- 1:37:43Speaker 12: fourteen for the first time, you know, in maybe fifty
- 1:37:47Speaker 12: or sixty years.
- 1:37:48Speaker 7: Since it was banned.
- 1:37:50Speaker 12: But they expanded that program in I think it was
- 1:37:54Speaker 12: twenty eighteen whenever the next Farm Bill came up. And
- 1:37:58Speaker 12: then there werercial products that were psychoactive that were derived
- 1:38:02Speaker 12: from HIM Delta nine and other things and people. You know,
- 1:38:08Speaker 12: they've been abused, I do believe, but states have stepped
- 1:38:11Speaker 12: in and started regulating that, and I don't think we
- 1:38:14Speaker 12: needed this total ban which was implemented here in this
- 1:38:18Speaker 12: continuing resolution.
- 1:38:20Speaker 2: What did you think of Agriculture Secretary brook Rollins claim
- 1:38:26Speaker 2: that says twenty nine states uncovered nearly two hundred thousand
- 1:38:31Speaker 2: people with dead people's Social Security numbers, and then twenty
- 1:38:35Speaker 2: one states are suing to keep their data hidden. I
- 1:38:39Speaker 2: think one of the most telling things for me and
- 1:38:42Speaker 2: a lot of other people with the government shutdown is
- 1:38:44Speaker 2: when we found out that one in eight Americans are
- 1:38:47Speaker 2: receiving Snap benefits forty two million people. I thought that
- 1:38:51Speaker 2: was absurdly high. What do you think about.
- 1:38:54Speaker 12: That, Well, it's a lot higher in some Kentucky counties.
- 1:38:59Speaker 12: I asked a couple of years ago, I asked the
- 1:39:02Speaker 12: owner of a grocery store here in Lewis County what
- 1:39:07Speaker 12: percent of their revenue with food stamps? And they told
- 1:39:10Speaker 12: me forty percent? And I was shocked. Forty percent, not
- 1:39:15Speaker 12: fourteen four zero percent the revenue was from EBT cards.
- 1:39:22Speaker 12: You know, I think there are the people who need
- 1:39:25Speaker 12: what the program stands for, supplemental nutrition assistance program. Maybe
- 1:39:32Speaker 12: I do need another cup of coffee. I need some
- 1:39:34Speaker 12: supplemental caffeine to get those words out. But you know,
- 1:39:38Speaker 12: we don't normally say what these acronyms stand for. But
- 1:39:40Speaker 12: that's what SNAP stands.
- 1:39:42Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:39:44Speaker 12: I have always been a proponent that we shouldn't be
- 1:39:47Speaker 12: funding sugary drinks in SNAP that SNAP stands for supplemental nutrition.
- 1:39:55Speaker 12: I don't think high fructose corn syrup is supplemental nutrition,
- 1:40:00Speaker 12: and I do think it does lead to an obesity problem.
- 1:40:05Speaker 12: So that then shows up on Medicaid and Medicare in
- 1:40:09Speaker 12: some circumstances, So we should take that off the menu.
- 1:40:16Speaker 2: Well, there's no reason for anyone in this country to starve,
- 1:40:21Speaker 2: not with the abundance that we do have on the
- 1:40:27Speaker 2: other hand, anytime there is a government program, especially at
- 1:40:31Speaker 2: the federal level, and it is handing out things, whether
- 1:40:36Speaker 2: it be food or medicine or healthcare or you know,
- 1:40:43Speaker 2: child tax credits, basically there is going to be massive fraud.
- 1:40:52Speaker 2: Do you find that that's the case.
- 1:40:54Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 1:40:55Speaker 12: And to address your first question there about brook rawlins
- 1:40:58Speaker 12: and covering so many accounts that were fraudulently receiving dead
- 1:41:04Speaker 12: people the SNAP program.
- 1:41:07Speaker 7: Here's the thing.
- 1:41:08Speaker 12: The states and even the grocery store lobby are not
- 1:41:14Speaker 12: interested in ferreting out that fraud because that's money that,
- 1:41:19Speaker 12: even though it may be fraudulent, it's filtering into those states,
- 1:41:23Speaker 12: and it's filtering into their economy, and it's filtering into
- 1:41:26Speaker 12: those grocery stores. They don't want the fraud taken out
- 1:41:29Speaker 12: of the program, but we should. Taxpayer should want it
- 1:41:33Speaker 12: taken out, and anybody that relies on food stamps that
- 1:41:35Speaker 12: needs them should want the fraud taken out as well.
- 1:41:39Speaker 2: One one quick thing, Congressman Massey, can you stand by
- 1:41:43Speaker 2: for another Can you get another cup of coffee and
- 1:41:45Speaker 2: stick around for a few more minutes?
- 1:41:48Speaker 12: Absolutely, I want to talk about this Epstein resolution in
- 1:41:53Speaker 12: the past next week.
- 1:41:53Speaker 2: The first thing The thing I want to the thing
- 1:41:56Speaker 2: I want to ask you real quick before we go
- 1:41:58Speaker 2: to break, is do you find a continuance of the
- 1:42:02Speaker 2: Biden budget less heinous than than adding another one and
- 1:42:08Speaker 2: a half trillion dollars as the Democrats.
- 1:42:11Speaker 12: One, Yes, it's a lot less heinous than that. But
- 1:42:15Speaker 12: let me tell you something. They added two hundred billion
- 1:42:18Speaker 12: dollars above Joe Biden's budget in the reconciliation Bill, so
- 1:42:23Speaker 12: that it's really not just Joe Biden's budget. It's Joe
- 1:42:26Speaker 12: Biden's budget plus another one hundred to two hundred billion
- 1:42:29Speaker 12: dollars a year for the next three years.
- 1:42:31Speaker 2: All right, Thomas Massey, our guest for the next few minutes,
- 1:42:34Speaker 2: my congressman in Northern Kentucky, and we'll be right back
- 1:42:39Speaker 2: on fifty five KRCV talk station. We've got a double
- 1:42:43Speaker 2: Jack Bottler face seven forty two on a Friday morning,
- 1:42:47Speaker 2: Gary jeffn for Brian Thomas and our guest once again,
- 1:42:51Speaker 2: Congressman Thomas Massey from the fourth District in Northern Kentucky
- 1:42:55Speaker 2: where I live. And one thing I have all was appreciated, Thomas,
- 1:43:02Speaker 2: is that you go your own way when it something
- 1:43:09Speaker 2: does not meet your standards or your values. You're not
- 1:43:16Speaker 2: a rubber stamp or a s man for any political party,
- 1:43:20Speaker 2: but you consider yourself to be working for the people
- 1:43:24Speaker 2: of your district, which is I think the concept that
- 1:43:28Speaker 2: a lot of people in Congress are missing, since many
- 1:43:34Speaker 2: of them don't even live in the districts where there
- 1:43:37Speaker 2: are not from the districts that they're serving supposedly as
- 1:43:41Speaker 2: working for. And of course you've drawn the ire of
- 1:43:47Speaker 2: President Trump, and they're trying to primary you, going to
- 1:43:50Speaker 2: primary you in the upcoming primary elections in twenty six
- 1:43:56Speaker 2: you are running again for that seat, and I will
- 1:43:58Speaker 2: vote for you again, even though I don't agree with
- 1:44:02Speaker 2: every stance you take. I don't agree with every stance
- 1:44:05Speaker 2: President Trump has, and I think that you should vote
- 1:44:09Speaker 2: your conscience and your values, and you you do that.
- 1:44:12Speaker 2: It's one of the things I really appreciate about you,
- 1:44:16Speaker 2: is your authenticity in that regard.
- 1:44:19Speaker 12: Well, don't give me too much credit. I vote with
- 1:44:23Speaker 12: the party ninety one percent of the time. I know,
- 1:44:27Speaker 12: you know, they say they call me mister no, and
- 1:44:29Speaker 12: they say never votes with us. I vote with the
- 1:44:31Speaker 12: Republican Party, which means I vote with Trump ninety one
- 1:44:34Speaker 12: percent of the time. What they're upset about is the
- 1:44:37Speaker 12: nine percent that I don't vote with them. Yeah, but
- 1:44:40Speaker 12: in that case, they're starting wars abroad. They're not cutting spending,
- 1:44:46Speaker 12: they're spending us into oblivion. And in the most recent example,
- 1:44:50Speaker 12: they're trying to keep the Epstein file secret. And this
- 1:44:54Speaker 12: has been an effort that I have been on for months.
- 1:44:58Speaker 6: I talked about it years ago.
- 1:45:00Speaker 12: Some people say, oh, he didn't care about it until
- 1:45:02Speaker 12: Trump was president.
- 1:45:03Speaker 6: No.
- 1:45:04Speaker 12: I cared about it when Joe Biden was president, and
- 1:45:06Speaker 12: I started really caring about it when the FBI director,
- 1:45:10Speaker 12: the assistant FBI director, the attorney general, the vice president.
- 1:45:15Speaker 12: They all flipped one hundred and eighty degrees, including the president,
- 1:45:18Speaker 12: And instead of releasing the files, they're trying to keep
- 1:45:22Speaker 12: the file secret. They might, you know, and they you know,
- 1:45:27Speaker 12: they'll claim privately they're trying to avoid embarrassment for some
- 1:45:30Speaker 12: of the President's friends, and they'll say that privately, they
- 1:45:35Speaker 12: won't say that publicly. But I don't think embarrassment is
- 1:45:40Speaker 12: a good reason. Like saving somebody from embarrassment is a
- 1:45:43Speaker 12: good reason to protect dozens of men who prayed on
- 1:45:49Speaker 12: underage women in a sex trafficking operation.
- 1:45:52Speaker 2: No, I agree with you that wholeheartedly. I would say
- 1:45:57Speaker 2: that Joe Biden had four years to do it and didn't.
- 1:46:02Speaker 2: The Democrats didn't want these released either until President Trump
- 1:46:07Speaker 2: was in office, because I thought there were some little
- 1:46:10Speaker 2: morsels that they could fire at the president. Uh And
- 1:46:14Speaker 2: and they've tried to do that again with the twenty
- 1:46:17Speaker 2: thousand or whatever emails, and three mentioned Trump's name. But
- 1:46:23Speaker 2: they don't. Yeah, they don't. They do not. They do
- 1:46:26Speaker 2: not indicate any kind of wrongdoing by President Trump.
- 1:46:31Speaker 12: No, I don't see any wrongdoing in those emails. In fact,
- 1:46:35Speaker 12: if you read them a certain way, they may exonerate him.
- 1:46:39Speaker 12: It looks like from those emails that perhaps Epstein and
- 1:46:45Speaker 12: Maxwell were suspicious of Trump that he might inform on them.
- 1:46:50Speaker 12: That's the way I read those emails. And there and
- 1:46:53Speaker 12: there'll be me more to come out. But I don't
- 1:46:57Speaker 12: think we should protect the billionaires who are named in there.
- 1:47:01Speaker 7: Either way.
- 1:47:02Speaker 12: I find this really interesting.
- 1:47:03Speaker 7: I am.
- 1:47:04Speaker 6: I have led this.
- 1:47:05Speaker 12: Effort, and by the way, we succeeded this week in
- 1:47:09Speaker 12: forcing the House vote. That vote will probably happen next week.
- 1:47:13Speaker 12: But I've led that effort, and in return, I've got
- 1:47:17Speaker 12: three billionaires who are coming after me to try to
- 1:47:22Speaker 12: get me unelected. And one of them is in the
- 1:47:25Speaker 12: previously released Epstein's Black Book. Now that's not a list
- 1:47:29Speaker 12: of guilty people, but it's a list. It's Epstein's personal
- 1:47:34Speaker 12: phone book that he kept that had personal cell numbers
- 1:47:37Speaker 12: and contacts in it. And so one of these billionaires
- 1:47:40Speaker 12: was in the Epstein I call it the Epstein class,
- 1:47:43Speaker 12: the class of people. This is not class warfare. If
- 1:47:47Speaker 12: you became a billionaire by working hard, you know, good
- 1:47:51Speaker 12: for you in capitalism. But if you're using that money
- 1:47:55Speaker 12: and expect to have certain privileges that don't you know,
- 1:47:59Speaker 12: as far as is breaking the law, that don't extend
- 1:48:01Speaker 12: to every American. And I'm sorry you're part of the
- 1:48:05Speaker 12: Epstein class. Well, if you're, and that's who's you know,
- 1:48:09Speaker 12: funding the the attack ads.
- 1:48:11Speaker 7: On me that some people have seen.
- 1:48:13Speaker 2: Regardless of how you made your money, Thomas, if you're
- 1:48:19Speaker 2: illegally using your status to cause harm and commit sexual
- 1:48:28Speaker 2: crimes against underage people, you have no class in my opinion, right,
- 1:48:35Speaker 2: that's I mean.
- 1:48:36Speaker 12: That is obvious, I think on his face. But you know,
- 1:48:41Speaker 12: this week, this week was one of the biggest breakthroughs
- 1:48:45Speaker 12: ever people, you know, when they ask, what have you
- 1:48:48Speaker 12: gotten done? I just did something that's only been done
- 1:48:51Speaker 12: maybe twenty times in the history of our country. I
- 1:48:55Speaker 12: got a bill to the floor over the objections of
- 1:48:59Speaker 12: the Speaker of the House, House and the chairman of
- 1:49:01Speaker 12: the committees. It's called a discharge petition. It's a parliamentary
- 1:49:05Speaker 12: procedure that's been in place over one hundred years, where
- 1:49:09Speaker 12: if you can get two hundred and eighteen signatures, you
- 1:49:12Speaker 12: can bypass the Speaker, and you can bypass the committee chairman,
- 1:49:15Speaker 12: and you can bring a bill straight to the floor
- 1:49:17Speaker 12: of the House. Well, I just got the two hundred
- 1:49:20Speaker 12: and eighteen signature. And you know what happened on that
- 1:49:23Speaker 12: day when the two hundred and eighteen signature was getting
- 1:49:26Speaker 12: sworn into Congress, the President, the FBI Director, and the
- 1:49:30Speaker 12: Attorney General were all and the Speaker himself. We're still
- 1:49:35Speaker 12: trying to get people to take their signatures off of
- 1:49:38Speaker 12: my petition. They took Warren Bobert over. She went willingly,
- 1:49:44Speaker 12: but she went to the situation room at the White
- 1:49:47Speaker 12: House where they tried to convince her to take her
- 1:49:50Speaker 12: name off of my petition so that we would never
- 1:49:54Speaker 12: get to to eighteen. And God bless her for staying strong.
- 1:49:57Speaker 12: She did not cave or crumble or yield. And so
- 1:50:02Speaker 12: it was only because of Nancy Mace, Marjorie Taylor Green,
- 1:50:05Speaker 12: Lauren Bobert. Those were my three co signers that put
- 1:50:10Speaker 12: this Republican co signers that put this petition over the top.
- 1:50:15Speaker 2: So you say that privately, privately, administration officials and these
- 1:50:21Speaker 2: people who are are balking at releasing this information that
- 1:50:26Speaker 2: we were promised, are doing so because Donald Trump thinks
- 1:50:30Speaker 2: it would be bad for business, because it might embarrass
- 1:50:33Speaker 2: people that are friends of his or he has plans
- 1:50:38Speaker 2: for business.
- 1:50:39Speaker 12: Well, in fact, I won't just put on administration, I
- 1:50:45Speaker 12: would say, and I can't prove this because this was
- 1:50:49Speaker 12: in a conversation, but Donald Trump himself has said that
- 1:50:53Speaker 12: the release the f Steam files are going to hurt
- 1:50:55Speaker 12: his friends in West Palm Beach, and I may have
- 1:50:59Speaker 12: just made news there. And uh, but here's the thing.
- 1:51:05Speaker 12: I think it's not just gonna implicate them, some of
- 1:51:08Speaker 12: his billionaire friends and donors. I think it's going to
- 1:51:11Speaker 12: implicate our own intelligence agencies. And then I can also
- 1:51:15Speaker 12: tell you that on the day we were the day
- 1:51:18Speaker 12: before we got the two hundred and eighteen signature. It
- 1:51:20Speaker 12: was this massive effort by the White House to get
- 1:51:24Speaker 12: my co signers to take their names off the petition.
- 1:51:27Speaker 12: They told one of my co signers, we can't let
- 1:51:32Speaker 12: Massey have a win. Is that crazy? Like the pettiness
- 1:51:38Speaker 12: of that they are And there they have full blown
- 1:51:42Speaker 12: Massy derangement syndrome. The political you know, uh chattering bunch
- 1:51:49Speaker 12: there at the White House that surround the President. They
- 1:51:53Speaker 12: don't want the victims to get justice, They don't want
- 1:51:55Speaker 12: Americans to have transparency because they didn't want Massey to
- 1:51:59Speaker 12: have a win. Well, guess what we won anyway, and
- 1:52:03Speaker 12: we won for the victims and the survivors. And we're
- 1:52:06Speaker 12: going to have this vote when we go back next week,
- 1:52:10Speaker 12: and that's going to be a very important vote for
- 1:52:13Speaker 12: a lot of congressmen. I'll give a shout out to
- 1:52:16Speaker 12: Warren Davidson there in Ohio. He's in the i think
- 1:52:18Speaker 12: the listening area. He's representatives there north of Cincinnati. He
- 1:52:23Speaker 12: said he's going to vote for it, and I think
- 1:52:26Speaker 12: really everybody should vote for it because the promise over
- 1:52:31Speaker 12: at to White House. Now they're handing out Trump endorsements
- 1:52:34Speaker 12: like their pens, candy and they're saying, here, you take
- 1:52:39Speaker 12: this Trump endorsement, you be against releasing the Epstein files,
- 1:52:43Speaker 12: and we will protect you in your primary and we'll
- 1:52:46Speaker 12: come camp. The President will come campaign for you and
- 1:52:49Speaker 12: help you raise money. But don't release those Epstein files. Well,
- 1:52:54Speaker 12: you know, in twenty twenty eight and twenty thirty, especially
- 1:52:59Speaker 12: in twenty five, the President's not going to be able
- 1:53:01Speaker 12: to help people who took a bad vote to cover
- 1:53:04Speaker 12: up for pedophiles. So I would remind my colleagues your
- 1:53:08Speaker 12: voting record is going to outlast this presidency, so be
- 1:53:12Speaker 12: very careful next week when you vote on whether to
- 1:53:14Speaker 12: release the Epstein files or not.
- 1:53:17Speaker 2: Thomas Massey, thank you so much for your time, very generous.
- 1:53:20Speaker 2: I appreciate it. And keep doing what you're doing.
- 1:53:23Speaker 12: Man, all right, I'm starting it up. Thanks Gary, Jeff Oh.
- 1:53:28Speaker 2: Thank you, Congressman Thomas Massey. This morning, it's seven fifty
- 1:53:31Speaker 2: three at fifty five KRC, the talk station.
- 1:53:34Speaker 12: The free iHeartRadio app is your home for the holiday.
- 1:53:37Speaker 2: Easy. Are you or have you ever been a fan
- 1:53:41Speaker 2: of the Old West, the Wild American West, A stuff
- 1:53:46Speaker 2: like White IRP and Doc Holliday to shootout at the
- 1:53:50Speaker 2: OK Corral. Brothers of the Gun is a brand new
- 1:53:54Speaker 2: book by historian Mark League Gardner. We will talk about
- 1:53:57Speaker 2: this fresh look. It's a duel, a biography of both
- 1:54:04Speaker 2: Wider and Doc Holiday. I'm chomping at the bit to
- 1:54:07Speaker 2: find out more myself. We'll get into that in just
- 1:54:11Speaker 2: a few moments. On this Friday morning on fifty five
- 1:54:14Speaker 2: krc DE talk station.
- 1:54:16Speaker 1: Today's top headlines conning.
- 1:54:18Speaker 11: Way man along the coach roads on it rhyme, sword
- 1:54:24Speaker 11: and pistol.
- 1:54:25Speaker 2: By my side. Many a young man lost her bobbles
- 1:54:31Speaker 2: to my tree six minutes after the hour and a Friday.
- 1:54:34Speaker 9: Morning, many a soldiers online.
- 1:54:38Speaker 2: Willie maybe whaling, But we're going back even farther than them,
- 1:54:44Speaker 2: to the wild so called Wild West of America's past.
- 1:54:48Speaker 2: Historian Mark Lee Gardner has written the first duel biography
- 1:54:53Speaker 2: of gunslingers Whitep and Doc Holiday. It's called Brothers of
- 1:54:57Speaker 2: the Gun, and it is out this week. Mark is
- 1:55:04Speaker 2: an authority on the Old West, has been featured in
- 1:55:08Speaker 2: Wired's Tech Support over five million views there, the hit
- 1:55:12Speaker 2: Netflix docusaries Wide Erp and The Cowboy War, and also
- 1:55:16Speaker 2: as an award winning musician specializes in the music of
- 1:55:20Speaker 2: the Old West. We probably should have lined up so
- 1:55:22Speaker 2: we could have him do his own bumper music to
- 1:55:26Speaker 2: fit the topic. Brothers of the Gun, the lives of
- 1:55:31Speaker 2: those two men mentioned, Wide Erp and Doc Holliday, those
- 1:55:36Speaker 2: of course our famous names in the history of this
- 1:55:40Speaker 2: country in the Old West for the you know, the
- 1:55:45Speaker 2: fight at the Ok Corral, the gunfight there. And one
- 1:55:49Speaker 2: was a part time lawman, the other a part time dentist,
- 1:55:52Speaker 2: and they were Brothers of the Gun. Now, to talk
- 1:55:55Speaker 2: about the book a little bit, and why you should
- 1:55:58Speaker 2: if you're if you're a history buffer, American history buff,
- 1:56:01Speaker 2: you got to have this, Mark Lee Gardner, Welcome to
- 1:56:03Speaker 2: the show.
- 1:56:05Speaker 5: Hey, thanks, Gary, happy to talk to you.
- 1:56:07Speaker 2: Now. You're an award winning musician and you specialize in
- 1:56:12Speaker 2: the music of Old West. That struck me right away.
- 1:56:17Speaker 2: What kind of instruments do you play, Mark, I'm.
- 1:56:21Speaker 5: Playing mostly the banjo, the five string banjo, and you
- 1:56:25Speaker 5: know the banjo's that actually goes hundreds of years back
- 1:56:29Speaker 5: to Africa, starts out as an African instrument. But I
- 1:56:32Speaker 5: became fascinated by the music of the nineteenth century West,
- 1:56:35Speaker 5: and there was a lot of banjo in the nineteenth
- 1:56:38Speaker 5: century West.
- 1:56:38Speaker 2: Yes, there was this here was do you have any
- 1:56:43Speaker 2: modern day banjo players that you kind of revere and
- 1:56:45Speaker 2: look up to, because there's a lot of good ones.
- 1:56:48Speaker 5: I'd say you my hero was Earl Scruggs. He's no
- 1:56:53Speaker 5: longer with us, but he developed the scrug style picking.
- 1:56:56Speaker 5: But you know, the historic banjo. When I started learning
- 1:56:59Speaker 5: the history of it, scrunk style starts in the nineteen forties,
- 1:57:03Speaker 5: and I was wanting stuff in the eighteen forties, and
- 1:57:07Speaker 5: that's actually an African playing style. People still playing the
- 1:57:10Speaker 5: dance called clawhammer or frailing. So I tend to lean
- 1:57:13Speaker 5: towards the older playing styles on the banjo.
- 1:57:16Speaker 2: Well, you see the guys by the campfire being depicted,
- 1:57:19Speaker 2: you know, in these romatic ways, and there's the stars
- 1:57:23Speaker 2: and the campfire and the dogies are retiring, as they say,
- 1:57:28Speaker 2: and they're picking guitars. But guitars weren't really that prominent
- 1:57:32Speaker 2: back in the eighteen fifties, were they.
- 1:57:35Speaker 5: Oh no, no, I mean there were guitars, but it
- 1:57:37Speaker 5: wasn't They didn't have the boom really until the early
- 1:57:41Speaker 5: twentieth century, the nineteen twenties, and of course that's also
- 1:57:44Speaker 5: the birth of the film industry, so it made sense
- 1:57:47Speaker 5: that you're singing cowboys are going to be playing guitars.
- 1:57:51Speaker 5: But if you're if they had a movie in the
- 1:57:52Speaker 5: eighteen seventies, the Singing Cowboys would have had a banjo.
- 1:57:56Speaker 2: White Urb and Doc Holiday. They are eternally fascinating when
- 1:58:03Speaker 2: people think about the American West and the Old West.
- 1:58:07Speaker 2: What do you think sets those two particular characters apart?
- 1:58:13Speaker 2: That always provides people with a lot of just they're
- 1:58:17Speaker 2: almost spellbound when they hear those names.
- 1:58:21Speaker 5: Well, you know, a big part of that, Gary is
- 1:58:23Speaker 5: is that gunfight in Tombstone, Arizona. I mean, that's where
- 1:58:27Speaker 5: they've become legendary. But also it's every movie or TV
- 1:58:32Speaker 5: show that deals with these you know that has Wider
- 1:58:35Speaker 5: b and Doc Holliday.
- 1:58:37Speaker 8: They tell us that.
- 1:58:37Speaker 5: They're friends, but they don't really tell us why they're
- 1:58:41Speaker 5: friends or how they became friends, but they are, you know,
- 1:58:45Speaker 5: they are anchored in the American imagination is the most
- 1:58:49Speaker 5: famous friendship. And it really starts because they're side by
- 1:58:53Speaker 5: side with White's brothers at the OK Corral. But it
- 1:58:56Speaker 5: goes much deeper than that, which is what I talk
- 1:58:58Speaker 5: about in the book, was.
- 1:59:01Speaker 2: Was what happened at the OK Corral.
- 1:59:07Speaker 3: Was well, what.
- 1:59:08Speaker 5: Happens is and and this is why it's one of
- 1:59:10Speaker 5: the biggest stories in American history. Is it's that it's
- 1:59:15Speaker 5: that classic clash. What has come down to is between
- 1:59:18Speaker 5: good and bad. And you've got the you know, Wider
- 1:59:22Speaker 5: and Virgil and Doc and Morgan representing the law going
- 1:59:26Speaker 5: up against the crustler element called.
- 1:59:28Speaker 2: The cowboys, the Clinton's and all of that, and the Macaris. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 1:59:36Speaker 2: what what kind of a lawman was white? If you
- 1:59:40Speaker 2: broke broke it down?
- 1:59:42Speaker 5: Yeah, he was an exceptional lawman. The irony is he
- 1:59:47Speaker 5: was only a lawman a very short time. But in
- 1:59:50Speaker 5: cowtown's like Wichita and Dodge City, where he really made
- 1:59:54Speaker 5: his mark, he was considered, you know, if not the
- 1:59:58Speaker 5: best among the best. And one of his primary jobs
- 2:00:01Speaker 5: as a lawman was essentially disarming unruly cowboys, drunken cowboys
- 2:00:07Speaker 5: because all these boottails Gary, they had anti gun laws.
- 2:00:11Speaker 5: You couldn't carry a gun on the streets. And so
- 2:00:14Speaker 5: the lawman, like Erth and others.
- 2:00:16Speaker 2: Go ahead, Well, now see that's gonna shock a lot
- 2:00:20Speaker 2: of people, myself included, because apparently I've not read enough.
- 2:00:24Speaker 2: I've not read your book yet, and don't know enough
- 2:00:27Speaker 2: about the history of the Old West, but it seems
- 2:00:29Speaker 2: so odd to me that they had gun control laws,
- 2:00:33Speaker 2: which most of us Second Amendment people who are fans
- 2:00:37Speaker 2: of the Second amendmen call them people control laws. Right,
- 2:00:41Speaker 2: And you have this idea of a wide open Old
- 2:00:44Speaker 2: West where everybody had a gun, and not true.
- 2:00:50Speaker 5: Everybody, most everybody had a gun. But if you're going
- 2:00:53Speaker 5: into those cowtowns, there were city ordinances that prevented you
- 2:00:57Speaker 5: from carrying a weapon. And in fact, that was one
- 2:01:00Speaker 5: of the precursors of the Okay Corral gunfight. The Earths
- 2:01:04Speaker 5: were going to meet the cowboys to disarm them because
- 2:01:07Speaker 5: they were breaking the law. So yes, there were all
- 2:01:10Speaker 5: kinds of anti gun laws in the Old West.
- 2:01:14Speaker 2: What did Hollywood get right in telling the story of
- 2:01:18Speaker 2: the ok Corral shootout? And then what did they get wrong?
- 2:01:23Speaker 5: Well, it's mostly wrong. So yeah, it's mostly wrong, I mean,
- 2:01:28Speaker 5: and it varies. But Gary, I mean, I'm not I
- 2:01:32Speaker 5: don't get too upset about Hollywood. I mean, it's another reality.
- 2:01:37Speaker 5: You know, it's not history.
- 2:01:39Speaker 7: Yeah, you know what they what they get right?
- 2:01:41Speaker 5: You know, thers they were brothers. Morgan was assassinated the
- 2:01:45Speaker 5: cowboys were rustlers, but a lot of times, even the
- 2:01:49Speaker 5: fight itself, you know, it happened in a lot that
- 2:01:53Speaker 5: was like fifteen feet wide. Wow, very narrow space. In
- 2:01:58Speaker 5: most movies it's really you know, the running all over
- 2:02:00Speaker 5: the place.
- 2:02:01Speaker 2: Oh, it's a wide open it's a wide open expanse,
- 2:02:04Speaker 2: you know, and they're exactly and they're shooting around the
- 2:02:06Speaker 2: corners of buildings. You say the space was fifteen feet.
- 2:02:10Speaker 5: Yes, according to some accounts. And it wasn't even at
- 2:02:14Speaker 5: the OK Corral. That's a big myths. It was in
- 2:02:16Speaker 5: a lot that was behind the OK Corral.
- 2:02:20Speaker 2: Huh. Well, okay, what what was doc Holiday like and
- 2:02:25Speaker 2: what was he a successful dentist? What was dentistry like
- 2:02:30Speaker 2: in the in the eighteen fifties, eighteen sixties, eighteen seventies.
- 2:02:34Speaker 5: Well, he actually went to the best dental school in
- 2:02:38Speaker 5: the country was in Philadelphia and got a degree in
- 2:02:41Speaker 5: dental surgery. And his first place where he was a
- 2:02:46Speaker 5: professional dentist or when he had a partner in Dallas,
- 2:02:49Speaker 5: they actually won awards at the local fair for their dentistry.
- 2:02:54Speaker 5: So he was an accomplished dentist. The problem was he
- 2:02:57Speaker 5: was also a gambling addict and to bat masters, and
- 2:03:00Speaker 5: if you wanted an appointment, you'd have to go to
- 2:03:02Speaker 5: the gambling mall. He was rarely in his office. And
- 2:03:06Speaker 5: then he also he drank a lot, and that may
- 2:03:09Speaker 5: have been self medication for his tuberculosis. He had tuberculosis,
- 2:03:14Speaker 5: so he was ill, and when he drank he could
- 2:03:17Speaker 5: get violent and me and and unpredictable. So it wasn't
- 2:03:23Speaker 5: He didn't stay in the ditches very long. He became
- 2:03:26Speaker 5: a professional gambler.
- 2:03:28Speaker 2: Brothers of the Gun is the book. Mark Lee Gardner
- 2:03:31Speaker 2: is our guest. Mark, Can you hang for one more
- 2:03:33Speaker 2: quick segment or do you need to go?
- 2:03:35Speaker 5: You bet?
- 2:03:35Speaker 2: You bet? All right, we'll talk more about Doc Holliday
- 2:03:39Speaker 2: and Wyatt erb and the real stories and their real
- 2:03:42Speaker 2: friendship and the book that Mark is touting. Who did
- 2:03:47Speaker 2: he did all the research? He knows. It's eight fifteen
- 2:03:50Speaker 2: and fifty five KRCV talk station. Winter is coming and
- 2:03:54Speaker 2: that cold wind isn't Just all right, We're talking with
- 2:03:58Speaker 2: Mark Lee Gardner the book Brothers of the Gun, about
- 2:04:02Speaker 2: White Urb and Doc Holiday, the good, bad and ugly
- 2:04:08Speaker 2: of the two infamous friends who were at the oh
- 2:04:13Speaker 2: Well in the lot behind the Ok Corral. I just
- 2:04:15Speaker 2: found out this morning. So your research process mark into this.
- 2:04:26Speaker 2: How long did it take you to gather information before
- 2:04:29Speaker 2: you could even write the book? Or were you writing
- 2:04:31Speaker 2: as you were going and doing where? Where did you
- 2:04:34Speaker 2: find this information that heretofore wasn't available to just the
- 2:04:40Speaker 2: casual reader of American history?
- 2:04:43Speaker 5: Sure? Well, I took a couple of years just to
- 2:04:45Speaker 5: research before I started writing. And I went all over
- 2:04:49Speaker 5: the country looking at manuscript materials. You know, White Earth's
- 2:04:54Speaker 5: first person narrative that he dictated is in the Tombstone
- 2:04:58Speaker 5: Courthouse State Park in tunesdone Arizona, and I made copies
- 2:05:02Speaker 5: started out as a photostatic copy, and I made copies
- 2:05:05Speaker 5: of that and went to San Marino, California, to the
- 2:05:08Speaker 5: Huntington Library where an early biographer all his papers were
- 2:05:12Speaker 5: Arizona Historical Society. You know. My thing is Gary, is
- 2:05:16Speaker 5: that I do primary resource research. I don't just read
- 2:05:20Speaker 5: other books. I want to look at the actual documents. Yeah,
- 2:05:23Speaker 5: and do my own research.
- 2:05:24Speaker 2: All right, So, I mean you were going through newspaper
- 2:05:27Speaker 2: records and court records exactly, yes.
- 2:05:31Speaker 5: And.
- 2:05:32Speaker 2: Letters and diaries.
- 2:05:35Speaker 5: Yes. One of the great yeah, I mean, okay, Corral
- 2:05:38Speaker 5: was there was a hearing that was held afterwards with
- 2:05:42Speaker 5: thirty witnesses that gave testimony lasted a month, so we
- 2:05:45Speaker 5: have a lot of information on the gunfight itself.
- 2:05:49Speaker 2: All right, People certainly lived different lives then. We didn't
- 2:05:56Speaker 2: have the technology that we have today, and there are
- 2:06:01Speaker 2: some of us who who clamor to go back to
- 2:06:04Speaker 2: a less connected, less on the grid kind of life.
- 2:06:08Speaker 2: What was life like at the time of White RP
- 2:06:11Speaker 2: and Doc Holiday for most people? How hard scrabble was it?
- 2:06:16Speaker 5: Yeah? It was well in the towns, that's the thing
- 2:06:19Speaker 5: out you know, where somebody's farming in a sawbuster or something. Yeah,
- 2:06:24Speaker 5: it's it's rough. It's hard scrabble. But you know, the
- 2:06:26Speaker 5: lives of Whyte and Doc were always in towns and
- 2:06:30Speaker 5: booming towns of that. So, you know, places like Tombstone
- 2:06:33Speaker 5: you could get oysters, I mean, the finest champagnes and wines.
- 2:06:37Speaker 5: You know, there was money there, so they had money
- 2:06:40Speaker 5: to bring things in. So it was actually a pretty
- 2:06:42Speaker 5: darn good life in the cities. You know, the gambling
- 2:06:45Speaker 5: halls had Brussels carpet and paintings and in the latest newspapers,
- 2:06:50Speaker 5: so it was a pretty nice life if you were
- 2:06:52Speaker 5: in town right right.
- 2:06:55Speaker 2: I think today there's an effort by a lot of
- 2:06:58Speaker 2: people to move out of the towns because life isn't
- 2:07:02Speaker 2: life isn't quite as idyllic today as maybe it was
- 2:07:05Speaker 2: in the Old West. How did they stray outside the law,
- 2:07:11Speaker 2: the law man and the dentist.
- 2:07:14Speaker 5: That's they did that a lot. I mean, especially why
- 2:07:17Speaker 5: it's youth and he you know, he didn't want this known,
- 2:07:22Speaker 5: of course, but at one point he operated a brothel
- 2:07:25Speaker 5: on a boat in the river. His wives were almost
- 2:07:30Speaker 5: three of them, were all former prostitutes. And of course
- 2:07:34Speaker 5: Whyatt was a gambler as well. He was arrested once
- 2:07:37Speaker 5: for stealing the horse as a young man. So he
- 2:07:40Speaker 5: had a dark past that a lot of people don't
- 2:07:43Speaker 5: know about.
- 2:07:45Speaker 2: Huh. Well, I mean you said that Doc hung out
- 2:07:49Speaker 2: in brothels a lot and was a gambler. Yes, did
- 2:07:54Speaker 2: he incur a lot of gambling debts in his time?
- 2:07:59Speaker 5: Well, well, we don't really know that information. There's one
- 2:08:04Speaker 5: famous debt, and it's really sad. It's towards the end
- 2:08:06Speaker 5: of his life, and he owed a man five dollars,
- 2:08:10Speaker 5: which wouldn't seem like that much, and they got in
- 2:08:13Speaker 5: the gunfight over it. But he was penniless when he
- 2:08:16Speaker 5: died in glynn Wood Springs from his tuberculusis at age
- 2:08:19Speaker 5: thirty six.
- 2:08:20Speaker 2: Thirty six years old? Now how old did how long
- 2:08:24Speaker 2: did whyitet Earth live?
- 2:08:26Speaker 5: Wyatt live for another forty years. He lived to the
- 2:08:28Speaker 5: age of eighty. He died in nineteen twenty nine. His
- 2:08:31Speaker 5: pallbears included Tom Mix movie Star.
- 2:08:34Speaker 2: And Williams Heart How about that?
- 2:08:38Speaker 5: How about that as he got to see his legend,
- 2:08:41Speaker 5: he got to live to see his legend doc Halla,
- 2:08:44Speaker 5: They didn't?
- 2:08:45Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean what did he do in the latter
- 2:08:47Speaker 2: years of his life? Wyatt?
- 2:08:50Speaker 5: Whyatt Earth eked out in existence. He was also broke,
- 2:08:53Speaker 5: and he had a little mind called the happy day
- 2:08:56Speaker 5: mind that he would spend summers grinding out, you know,
- 2:08:59Speaker 5: trying to get some war and make a little living.
- 2:09:02Speaker 5: But one of his biggest things he did was trying
- 2:09:05Speaker 5: to get his story told and writing it down. And
- 2:09:08Speaker 5: his hope was that they would make money because everybody
- 2:09:11Speaker 5: else was making the money off of his story.
- 2:09:13Speaker 2: And he felt he should make some money off Oh heck, yeah, yeah,
- 2:09:18Speaker 2: he should have had you around as a ghostwriter. I
- 2:09:20Speaker 2: bet you would have loved that.
- 2:09:22Speaker 5: I would have loved that. Yeah, I would have liked
- 2:09:23Speaker 5: a nun Wider if he was that interesting individual.
- 2:09:27Speaker 2: Are you working on any new projects.
- 2:09:29Speaker 8: Mark, Yes.
- 2:09:31Speaker 5: My current book project is the story of Jesse and
- 2:09:33Speaker 5: Frank James during the Civil War as bushwhackers.
- 2:09:37Speaker 2: There you go, So this is this is before the
- 2:09:40Speaker 2: crime spree, right.
- 2:09:42Speaker 8: Exactly, but it led to it.
- 2:09:44Speaker 5: It's how it led to that crime spree.
- 2:09:47Speaker 2: Well, we'll have to keep touch and when you have
- 2:09:50Speaker 2: that one ready in a couple of years or whatever, Oh,
- 2:09:53Speaker 2: definitely we'll discuss that. Mark Lee Gardner is the man.
- 2:09:57Speaker 2: The book is Brothers of the Gun about White RP
- 2:10:02Speaker 2: and Doc Holiday. Thank you so much for your time,
- 2:10:04Speaker 2: very very interested.
- 2:10:05Speaker 5: In this now, Thank you, Gary.
- 2:10:08Speaker 2: I enjoyed it all right, you bet. We continued doctor David,
- 2:10:12Speaker 2: Matt Gary Jeffan for Brian on this Friday morning on
- 2:10:16Speaker 2: fifty five KRC. As much as America has always been
- 2:10:21Speaker 2: fascinated about the subjects of our last previous segment, White
- 2:10:27Speaker 2: ERP and Doc Holiday, the assassination of JFK dominates the
- 2:10:33Speaker 2: American psyche to this day, sixty three years later. Who
- 2:10:38Speaker 2: did it? What happened? What really happened? Our guest in
- 2:10:45Speaker 2: this half hour is a doctor PhD. David Mantick spent
- 2:10:53Speaker 2: many years in private practice. He's out in the in
- 2:10:59Speaker 2: the Palm Deayara in California. He became a parapatetic radiation oncologist,
- 2:11:05Speaker 2: currently licensed in eight states. Also worked in Hawaii, New Zealand.
- 2:11:09Speaker 2: In his spare time, David Mantick does research and writes
- 2:11:12Speaker 2: about the JFK assassination and has made some amazing discoveries
- 2:11:17Speaker 2: that heretofore have not been made by anybody else. He
- 2:11:23Speaker 2: spent nine full days at the National Archives to view
- 2:11:26Speaker 2: and perform measurements on the JFK autopsy, X rays, the
- 2:11:30Speaker 2: photographs from the autopsy, his clothing, ballistic artifacts. We now
- 2:11:36Speaker 2: know that the War and Commission was not very interested
- 2:11:38Speaker 2: in the truth, but that indifference still seems to afflect
- 2:11:42Speaker 2: Washington d C. Even here in twenty twenty five. He
- 2:11:47Speaker 2: is a co author of the book The Final Analysis
- 2:11:50Speaker 2: with doctor Jerome Corsi, another one of my favorite people
- 2:11:54Speaker 2: on the planet. I love Jerry. Also, doctor Mann has written,
- 2:12:02Speaker 2: among other things, JFK was killed by Consensus, and now
- 2:12:06Speaker 2: he joins us this morning for a conversation about the
- 2:12:10Speaker 2: latest book JFK. The assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
- 2:12:15Speaker 2: The final Analysis, Doctor David Mannick, good morning, and thank
- 2:12:19Speaker 2: you for joining us so early.
- 2:12:23Speaker 7: Here a bok others it's dark and it's five thirty
- 2:12:27Speaker 7: in the morning. Well half away.
- 2:12:30Speaker 2: Well I know. And when our friend Eric set this
- 2:12:33Speaker 2: interview up for me, I said, well, I'm on till
- 2:12:37Speaker 2: nine o'clock eastern. Can we get him to squeeze in
- 2:12:40Speaker 2: maybe a little bit at eight thirty. This was the
- 2:12:43Speaker 2: last stop for me today. So I really do appreciate
- 2:12:48Speaker 2: you volunteering to get up this early to plug And now,
- 2:12:51Speaker 2: how many books about JFK have you written, doctor Mannick?
- 2:12:55Speaker 7: Well, three in my name, but I'd contributed to many
- 2:12:58Speaker 7: other ones going all the way back to nineteen ninety eight.
- 2:13:05Speaker 2: Okay, what is your particular fascination with this piece of
- 2:13:10Speaker 2: American history? Is it the fact that the official sources
- 2:13:17Speaker 2: still won't come clean with it. Is it the fact
- 2:13:20Speaker 2: that there have been so many conspiracy theories surrounded about
- 2:13:24Speaker 2: who actually did it, who orchestrated it, and why it happened.
- 2:13:30Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot of questions out there. Is
- 2:13:34Speaker 2: it just curiosity or is this something else that drives
- 2:13:37Speaker 2: you to continue to study the assassination of President John Kennedy.
- 2:13:43Speaker 5: When Oliver Stones movie came out around nineteen ninety, I
- 2:13:47Speaker 5: was hoping we would get.
- 2:13:49Speaker 7: A clear cut answer to these questions. Who killed JFK,
- 2:13:56Speaker 7: Who pulled the triggers? Why did they do this? That's
- 2:14:00Speaker 7: what my recent book is all about. Those are the
- 2:14:02Speaker 7: questions I addressed. But in the nineteen nineties, these questions
- 2:14:07Speaker 7: were not answered, and I actually became quite angry at
- 2:14:11Speaker 7: the historians for failing us. We the American public needed
- 2:14:17Speaker 7: to know what was going on in this case, and
- 2:14:20Speaker 7: they absolutely let us down. So I was furious. I
- 2:14:24Speaker 7: was literally angry at the historians because they they could not,
- 2:14:30Speaker 7: they would not, they didn't have the courage to face
- 2:14:33Speaker 7: these issues. And I actually wrote an essay called the
- 2:14:37Speaker 7: Silence of the Historians, which was one of my first
- 2:14:41Speaker 7: essays that was published in one of our first books,
- 2:14:45Speaker 7: Murder and Daily Plaza, which you can still purchase at Amazon.
- 2:14:49Speaker 7: So that's what drove me. Anger drove me.
- 2:14:52Speaker 2: I was lived.
- 2:14:54Speaker 7: I wanted to know why we didn't why they didn't
- 2:14:59Speaker 7: tell us.
- 2:15:00Speaker 2: Yeah. In another book, he wrote JFK was killed by consensus.
- 2:15:05Speaker 2: The subtitle is Dally Plaza was just the final stop.
- 2:15:11Speaker 2: When you say killed by consensus, what do you mean, Yeah,
- 2:15:15Speaker 2: that's the issue.
- 2:15:17Speaker 7: I mean that the power elite in this country, the
- 2:15:20Speaker 7: American power elite, had come to an agreement that JFK
- 2:15:25Speaker 7: was a trader. He was betraying us in the co
- 2:15:29Speaker 7: War to the Communists, and in order to save the country,
- 2:15:34Speaker 7: they had to kill him. That is literally what they
- 2:15:37Speaker 7: all agreed on. We're talking about the powerful elite in
- 2:15:41Speaker 7: the military, the political elite, the banking industry, the oil industry,
- 2:15:48Speaker 7: steel finance. All these powerful people who know each other
- 2:15:53Speaker 7: for elons silently agreed that he had to go. He
- 2:15:59Speaker 7: was just too dangerous to let.
- 2:16:00Speaker 2: Live well, because he didn't think that we should be
- 2:16:04Speaker 2: in Vietnam making war. I mean you mentioned the military
- 2:16:09Speaker 2: was one part of it.
- 2:16:10Speaker 7: Yes, it was one part of it. The Pentagon was
- 2:16:13Speaker 7: really eager to fight in Vietnam, and so all the
- 2:16:18Speaker 7: top military officials, the Joint chiefs, were seriously opposed to JFK.
- 2:16:26Speaker 2: How much do you think was their acquiescence on the
- 2:16:31Speaker 2: part of government leaders like LBJ They knew about it
- 2:16:36Speaker 2: but didn't participate. I mean, how many how many different
- 2:16:41Speaker 2: moving parts were there was the mafia involved, was Cuba involved,
- 2:16:45Speaker 2: Castro involved? I mean because JFK was definitely a threat
- 2:16:51Speaker 2: to Castro too.
- 2:16:54Speaker 5: Well.
- 2:16:54Speaker 7: Castro was meeting at the moment AFK was killed. He
- 2:16:58Speaker 7: was meeting with a French journalists named Jean Danielle, and
- 2:17:04Speaker 7: Castro responded very promptly, he said, now everything is going
- 2:17:09Speaker 7: to change. You see JFK had sent out peace sealers
- 2:17:14Speaker 7: via Jean Danielle, and JFK was indicating that he wanted
- 2:17:19Speaker 7: a kind of reproachewant with a Castro. Castro understood this,
- 2:17:25Speaker 7: and he knew that LBJ did not share these same
- 2:17:29Speaker 7: feelings with him. So that's why he said, now everything
- 2:17:32Speaker 7: is going to change, and it did.
- 2:17:36Speaker 2: How much? Was what evidence did you find or have
- 2:17:41Speaker 2: you found answers? Have you found that Lyndon Baines Johnson
- 2:17:46Speaker 2: was an active participant or was just acquiescent in what
- 2:17:49Speaker 2: went on in the killing of JFK.
- 2:17:51Speaker 7: I don't think he was a very active participant, but
- 2:17:54Speaker 7: he had to know in advance. Yeah, because all the
- 2:17:57Speaker 7: government agencies involved, the EYE, the CIA, the Secret Service,
- 2:18:02Speaker 7: they all had to cover their rear ends or they
- 2:18:04Speaker 7: would have been in deep trouble. So they had to
- 2:18:07Speaker 7: know in advance that LBJ would cover for them, and
- 2:18:11Speaker 7: he did. At Parkland Hospital, for example, the Secret Service
- 2:18:17Speaker 7: immediately moved JFK's limousine once a few people recognized that
- 2:18:22Speaker 7: there was a bullet hole in the windfield that could
- 2:18:25Speaker 7: not be allowed. And there are scenes of the Secret
- 2:18:29Speaker 7: Service washing out the limousine. They're destroying evidence in a
- 2:18:34Speaker 7: murder scene. How is that possible? Well, the Secret Service
- 2:18:37Speaker 7: apparently had a widespread water to cover this up, So
- 2:18:43Speaker 7: only albu J could have protected their rear ends in
- 2:18:46Speaker 7: the situation.
- 2:18:48Speaker 2: And so the Warren Commission and all of that that
- 2:18:50Speaker 2: followed in the aftermath of this, that was all of
- 2:18:54Speaker 2: Wincoln and nod by official Washington, the establishment to swamp
- 2:18:59Speaker 2: whatever you want I want to call it.
- 2:19:01Speaker 7: Yes, And likewise the follow up investigations like the Rockefeller Commission,
- 2:19:06Speaker 7: which was led by Nelson Rockefeller, who I named in
- 2:19:10Speaker 7: my book as one of the guilty parties. He was
- 2:19:13Speaker 7: deeply involved in supervising covert operations, something most Americans are
- 2:19:18Speaker 7: not aware of, but he had an official position in
- 2:19:21Speaker 7: that role. You can read about it in the biography
- 2:19:25Speaker 7: of him, and that's listed in my book. So this
- 2:19:28Speaker 7: is one of the surprising things that I learned that
- 2:19:30Speaker 7: Nelson Rockefeller was so involved. He thought Nelson Rockefeller was
- 2:19:34Speaker 7: involved in the coup in Guatemala. He had huge financial
- 2:19:41Speaker 7: interests at stake in Guatemala, so he was actually provided
- 2:19:46Speaker 7: with inside technical information on the covert operation there. It
- 2:19:50Speaker 7: was important for his holdings there that he know what
- 2:19:55Speaker 7: was going on.
- 2:19:56Speaker 2: Did Khrushev know?
- 2:20:00Speaker 7: Khrushchev didn't know in advance, of course, but the Soviet
- 2:20:05Speaker 7: Union conducted its own investigation and they clearly decided that
- 2:20:10Speaker 7: this was a domestic conspiracy by the right wing in
- 2:20:13Speaker 7: the US. They knew that.
- 2:20:16Speaker 2: What about the mob's involvement, Doctor Mantick, Well, let me add.
- 2:20:19Speaker 7: One more comment about that. The family of JFK sent
- 2:20:24Speaker 7: a personal emissary to Khrushchev and they told Kruschief that
- 2:20:31Speaker 7: they understood that the Soviet was not involved. In fact,
- 2:20:34Speaker 7: when Krushchef came to the funeral, which was quite impressive,
- 2:20:39Speaker 7: I believe he was crying at one point because he
- 2:20:42Speaker 7: and JFK had developed such a close relationship after the
- 2:20:47Speaker 7: Cuban missile crisis that they both hoped that they could
- 2:20:51Speaker 7: change the world forever. And the holany, of course, is
- 2:20:54Speaker 7: that Khrushchev himself was replaced by a coup in less
- 2:20:58Speaker 7: than twelve months by his own right wares there in
- 2:21:03Speaker 7: mon style.
- 2:21:04Speaker 2: Uh, doctor Mannick, you're already awake. Can you hang for
- 2:21:08Speaker 2: one more quick segment? Or do you need to go? Yes?
- 2:21:11Speaker 2: All right? The Final Analysis The Assassination of JFK co
- 2:21:16Speaker 2: written with doctor Jerome Corsi, our guest, doctor David Mantik,
- 2:21:20Speaker 2: who has done all this wonderful research, and we will
- 2:21:23Speaker 2: pick this back up in just a few It's eight
- 2:21:25Speaker 2: forty at fifty five KRCV talk station. My dad's skin
- 2:21:29Speaker 2: with tear every time I changed this bandation. We're talking
- 2:21:33Speaker 2: with doctor David Mannick, who has written three books on
- 2:21:36Speaker 2: the assassination of John F. Kennedy and the latest, of course,
- 2:21:40Speaker 2: the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The Final Analysis.
- 2:21:44Speaker 2: So does this mark the last in your your JFK books?
- 2:21:48Speaker 2: Have you said everything you can say? Have you done
- 2:21:51Speaker 2: all the research, you uncovered all the stones, doctor Mantick?
- 2:21:54Speaker 2: Or is there more?
- 2:21:56Speaker 7: Well? I think the major questions were the ones we
- 2:21:59Speaker 7: just got. Who pulled the triggers into the plaza, and
- 2:22:03Speaker 7: I cite names and show photographs who ordered the execution,
- 2:22:08Speaker 7: and I show multiple photographs of the people who were
- 2:22:11Speaker 7: in the American power elite and why did they do it?
- 2:22:16Speaker 7: So all three of these major questions are answered in
- 2:22:20Speaker 7: my book. So what is left to say after that?
- 2:22:23Speaker 7: Probably not a whole lot. A little bits and pieces
- 2:22:26Speaker 7: here and there probably can fill in the gaps, but
- 2:22:29Speaker 7: in my opinion, ninety five percent of the information is there.
- 2:22:34Speaker 7: It's like putting a crossword puzzle together. We may have
- 2:22:39Speaker 7: a few pieces missing here and there, but we can
- 2:22:41Speaker 7: see the whole picture.
- 2:22:42Speaker 2: Now, what about the Mob and sam Gy and Kana.
- 2:22:46Speaker 7: Yeah, they were involved too, s they let their role,
- 2:22:50Speaker 7: and in my book discusses the long time connection between
- 2:22:53Speaker 7: the CIA and the Mob, going back to Lucky Luciano
- 2:22:58Speaker 7: who is in jail during World War two, but he
- 2:23:00Speaker 7: provided the necessary connections in Sicily so that our Allied
- 2:23:06Speaker 7: landings there would be successful, and as a result, after
- 2:23:10Speaker 7: World War two was over, he was released from jail
- 2:23:13Speaker 7: and was allowed to go back to Sicily, where ironically
- 2:23:16Speaker 7: he was temporarily put in jail by the Sicilians as well.
- 2:23:20Speaker 2: I was looking at your bio, doctor Mantick, and it
- 2:23:22Speaker 2: says you were raised in a country school. You spent
- 2:23:28Speaker 2: eight years in like a one room country school and
- 2:23:30Speaker 2: then went to high school. How did you wind up
- 2:23:33Speaker 2: becoming a radiation on collegist?
- 2:23:37Speaker 7: Well, I was too curious.
- 2:23:40Speaker 6: I owned a PhD.
- 2:23:43Speaker 7: Post at the University of Wisconsin Madison, and of all things,
- 2:23:47Speaker 7: it was on X ray scale. So my life touched
- 2:23:50Speaker 7: on very early. But then I chose to go to
- 2:23:54Speaker 7: medical school at the University of Michigan and eventually became
- 2:23:57Speaker 7: board certified and radiation on college, where I am required
- 2:24:01Speaker 7: to read X rays every day and in order to
- 2:24:04Speaker 7: pinpoint tumors. I don't know where that author is or
- 2:24:08Speaker 7: I will miss it.
- 2:24:09Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well, I just with all of the material
- 2:24:14Speaker 2: that's been written and all the research that's been done,
- 2:24:18Speaker 2: what do you think sets your books and this latest
- 2:24:22Speaker 2: book apart from the others Doctor Manting, Well.
- 2:24:26Speaker 7: The fact that I have a doctorate in physics and
- 2:24:30Speaker 7: an MD with a specialty in X rays is unique.
- 2:24:34Speaker 7: There's no other author out there who can say that,
- 2:24:37Speaker 7: nor can anyone else. To the National Archives on nine
- 2:24:41Speaker 7: full days and taken hundreds of measurements from the X
- 2:24:46Speaker 7: ray and the clothing and the photographs, and done stereo
- 2:24:51Speaker 7: viewing of all photographs there's no one who's done anything

- 2:26:58Speaker 2: the in Callum, Wifornia, murder is in the heart of
- 2:27:02Speaker 2: a cheer mom? Torrence, California, Scharie Lynette Townsend, forty seven
- 2:27:08Speaker 2: years old on trial for murder. Prosecutors said Townsend responsible
- 2:27:15Speaker 2: for the fatal stabbing of a sixty six year old
- 2:27:18Speaker 2: woman named Susan Leeds, a retired nurse, who was found
- 2:27:22Speaker 2: bleeding in her Mercedes back on May third of twenty eighteen.
- 2:27:28Speaker 2: She had just finished a shopping trip the Promenade on
- 2:27:31Speaker 2: the Peninsula Mall in Rolling Hills, California. Died minutes after
- 2:27:36Speaker 2: she was found. The cheer mom, Scharie Lynette Townsend, had
- 2:27:42Speaker 2: also been shopping there that day, and her gold Sedan
- 2:27:45Speaker 2: was seen leaving the same parking structure where Leeds was
- 2:27:48Speaker 2: found bleeding to death. According to prosecutors, Townsend was experiencing
- 2:27:53Speaker 2: financial difficulties in the day before leeds death and posted
- 2:27:57Speaker 2: about her troubles on social media. One sc a civic
- 2:28:00Speaker 2: point of contention was a cheerleading trip to Florida for
- 2:28:04Speaker 2: her then fourteen year old daughter. Prosecutors say that Townsend
- 2:28:09Speaker 2: offered to bring two of her daughter's friends with them
- 2:28:12Speaker 2: on the trip, and the friends each gave Townsend three
- 2:28:15Speaker 2: hundred and fifty dollars for their tickets, but according to prosecutors,
- 2:28:19Speaker 2: those tickets never purchased. A criminal complaint said the investigators
- 2:28:27Speaker 2: spoke to the general manager of the cheerleading team that
- 2:28:29Speaker 2: Townsends daughter was on. The manager told investigators that Townsend
- 2:28:33Speaker 2: had been writing checks that kept bouncing, and she'd been
- 2:28:36Speaker 2: asked to provide cash or cashiers checks to pay them
- 2:28:39Speaker 2: for fees. She used Google to search for different ways
- 2:28:45Speaker 2: to obtain money, including duplicating credit cards, robbing coin operated
- 2:28:50Speaker 2: washing machines, celebrity donations, even finding a sugar daddy. Also,
- 2:28:57Speaker 2: prosecutors cited Google searches from prom on the Peninsula and
- 2:29:01Speaker 2: Jim's in the area. Townsend wanted to start a GoFundMe
- 2:29:05Speaker 2: to raise money for the trip, but she thought her
- 2:29:09Speaker 2: children would be embarrassed. Are they? Are they more embarrassed
- 2:29:14Speaker 2: because you're on trial for murder for robbing and killing
- 2:29:18Speaker 2: a woman so your daughter could go on the cheer trip? Boy,
- 2:29:25Speaker 2: this is this is mean? Girls? All grown up? Isn't it?
