Speaker 1: Five O five, the fifty five k r C, the
0:07
Speaker 1: talk stations. Happy Friday, even Opening Days, go Reds. There
0:27
Speaker 1: you go, a little Opening Day SoundBite, There go Reds.
0:31
Speaker 1: I hope you're able to go down Opening Day parade. Obviously,
0:34
Speaker 1: just an amazing tradition here in the city of Cincinnati,
0:36
Speaker 1: and such a great time. I would only suggest, and
0:39
Speaker 1: I hate him tempering this whole, you know, glorious day
0:42
Speaker 1: in the city of Cincinnati, even for people who aren't
0:46
Speaker 1: traditional baseball fans, just be vigilant, keep your eyes peeled
0:52
Speaker 1: with you down there. It's a crowd of people, and
0:54
Speaker 1: a very very packed crowd of people. So this is
0:59
Speaker 1: not Brian Thomas being paranoid. This is you know, admonishments
1:02
Speaker 1: from the yard lords and masters in government giving you
1:05
Speaker 1: advice about, you know, crowds of people. Most notably since
1:08
Speaker 1: we're involved in a conflict, a war, some call it
1:11
Speaker 1: with a sponsor of terrorism. So just throwing it out there,
1:14
Speaker 1: you can keep your eyes peeled for suspicious activity. It
1:18
Speaker 1: may take a little bit of wind out of the
1:20
Speaker 1: sales of the great day you're supposed to be having.
1:22
Speaker 1: I mean, this is where we find ourselves, I suppose
1:25
Speaker 1: in global conflicts that you can't let your guard down
1:28
Speaker 1: completely and just have a really good time bubble burst
1:32
Speaker 1: on that. So you can choose to and ignore the surroundings.
1:35
Speaker 1: But most people experts in you know, the field of
1:42
Speaker 1: terrorists and attacks on crowds, keep your eyes peeled. It's
1:46
Speaker 1: just the right thing to do. Rad Thomas here glad
1:48
Speaker 1: to be hope you're having a wonderful day. Feel free
1:49
Speaker 1: to call me five on three seven four nine fifty
1:51
Speaker 1: five hundred eight hundred eight two three talk or found
1:56
Speaker 1: five fifty on AT and T funds coming up in
1:57
Speaker 1: the morning shows seven oh five. Fast forward a couple
1:59
Speaker 1: of hours with Congressman or In Davidson. Will the government
2:03
Speaker 1: ever be open again? It's a legitimate question for the congressman.
2:06
Speaker 1: And remember why is it closed right now? You're standing
2:09
Speaker 1: in the long line an airport some people four and
2:11
Speaker 1: a half hours. Got some more details on that because
2:13
Speaker 1: I am going to ask Congressman David's about the lines
2:15
Speaker 1: at the airport. A sort of a problem exacerbated by
2:19
Speaker 1: the fact that the government is shut down. Yeah, TSA
2:22
Speaker 1: agents aren't getting paid, and that the Democrats are causing
2:28
Speaker 1: pain and suffering on the American people. And particularly pain
2:32
Speaker 1: and suffering on government employees working for the TSA, and
2:39
Speaker 1: that the motive behind this is to protect illegal immigrants
2:42
Speaker 1: subject to a detaining detention order here in the United
2:44
Speaker 1: States under US law. They have isolated US law. They
2:50
Speaker 1: are under US law eligible to be deported, and there's
2:53
Speaker 1: been a determination on that that they should be deported.
2:56
Speaker 1: ICE just doing its job, and the Democrats don't like it,
3:00
Speaker 1: and they're willing to cause you pain, a lot of
3:03
Speaker 1: pain because apparently they're on life support. And I guess
3:08
Speaker 1: need the illegal immigrant votes or something. It's just just
3:11
Speaker 1: keep your eyes focused on the problem here and what
3:14
Speaker 1: do they really want. It's the Republicans negotiating with the
3:17
Speaker 1: Democrats that we're getting the government open. Is like the
3:19
Speaker 1: Donald Trump negotiating with the Iranians. It's a ever moving target.
3:24
Speaker 1: Hey we're making progress. No we're not. Hey we're making progress. No,
3:28
Speaker 1: we've never talked to you. I mean this anyhow. Democrats
3:31
Speaker 1: list to demands. Republicans can see to most of them.
3:34
Speaker 1: They no problem, you know with body cameras, that's cool.
3:38
Speaker 1: Maybe we can work without judicial warrants, we can get
3:41
Speaker 1: Maybe we can work with judicial warrants. We can get
3:43
Speaker 1: rid of the administrative warrant thing. How about working on that. No,
3:45
Speaker 1: and we are our demands have changed. They don't want
3:48
Speaker 1: the government to be open, They want this pain to
3:50
Speaker 1: be felt. At least that's kind of direction. I'm concluding,
3:54
Speaker 1: we'll talk with Congressman davidsonbout Iran, more ground troops, and
3:58
Speaker 1: again amid this swirling mass of confusion over where we
4:02
Speaker 1: are relative to settling the Iranian war. I looking at
4:06
Speaker 1: having Congressman David's a jime in on that. He's obviously
4:08
Speaker 1: got more information than I do. Senator ran Paul, what
4:12
Speaker 1: a great one to two punches. I'd like to refer
4:14
Speaker 1: to the Massy Napolitano one two punch when they follow
4:17
Speaker 1: each other. Congressman David's in followed by Senator Ran Paul.
4:20
Speaker 1: Also on Iran plus Senator Paul versus Mark Mullen in
4:25
Speaker 1: the confirmation hearing, and Yes, bring back Senator Paul's penny plan.
4:29
Speaker 1: He's got a way to solve the problem of our
4:31
Speaker 1: national debt. It's a simple one. You know what, Maybe
4:33
Speaker 1: the government should spend less. Let's just pairt back by
4:36
Speaker 1: a fraction, just a little bit. Can we all live
4:38
Speaker 1: without it?
4:39
Speaker 2: Yes?
4:39
Speaker 1: Of course we could. Senator Ran Paul seven thirty, followed
4:43
Speaker 1: by Kurt Hartman YEP, one of our favorite lawyers here
4:47
Speaker 1: in the fifty five KC Morning Show. Kurt Hartman final
4:49
Speaker 1: lawsuit against the Forest Hill School District over redactions that
4:52
Speaker 1: the district made responding to a public records request for
4:56
Speaker 1: its Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Response Plan. Kurt Hartman on
5:04
Speaker 1: behalf of his client, claiming the law the law, the
5:06
Speaker 1: school has violated its legal duties refusing to produce public
5:09
Speaker 1: records the public records document. The district said making the
5:12
Speaker 1: reactions was within its legal right. Looking forward to having
5:17
Speaker 1: Kurt Hartman explain that and really probably explain to me
5:21
Speaker 1: why a Forest Hill School district has an Immigration and
5:24
Speaker 1: Customs Enforcement Response plan. Kurt in eight oh five fall
5:28
Speaker 1: by Yes, iHeartMedia aviation expert Jay Ratliff, which dovetails nicely
5:32
Speaker 1: into the long lines at the airport conversation I'll be
5:34
Speaker 1: having with Congressman Davidson Transportation Security Administration Acting Administrator Nahnwinn McNeil,
5:41
Speaker 1: which is hilarious if you McNeil. That's an Irish name, Hanwinn,
5:48
Speaker 1: not Irish. So anyway, she was warning lawmakers testified before
5:53
Speaker 1: the House Homeland Security Committee, saying the TSA has been
5:56
Speaker 1: operating state in the obvious without stable funding for about
5:59
Speaker 1: half the fiscal year. This year, with more than sixty
6:02
Speaker 1: one thousand employees, ninety five percent of the workforce is
6:05
Speaker 1: working without pay. Why Well, they're critical critical infrastructure, so
6:11
Speaker 1: they have to go to work. But do they know
6:14
Speaker 1: they can quit or they can you know, claim that
6:18
Speaker 1: they're sick. And that's what's going on obviously something Neil's
6:22
Speaker 1: cautioning lawmakers during the questioning TSA is being forced to consolidate,
6:27
Speaker 1: suggesting that regional airports may have to close, in spite
6:30
Speaker 1: of the fact that ice agents were surged into the
6:32
Speaker 1: airports to smooth out the delays there still yesterday suggesting
6:37
Speaker 1: that well, airport closures. I'm looking forward to having Jay
6:40
Speaker 1: Rabble with chime in on that too. They've already accrued
6:43
Speaker 1: one almost one billion dollars in unpaid payroll. She said.
6:46
Speaker 1: We continue to screen millions of passengers a day, but
6:50
Speaker 1: our workforce is under severe financial and emotional distress or stress.
6:53
Speaker 1: Rather talking about officers sleeping in their cars, taking on
6:58
Speaker 1: multiple jobs, knows all about that. One relying on public donations.
7:04
Speaker 1: Isn't that sad that a TSA worker has to go
7:10
Speaker 1: out and seek a charitable contribution through a go fund
7:13
Speaker 1: me paid just to get by because well, illegal immigrants
7:18
Speaker 1: subject to detention orders are being protected by Democrats through
7:22
Speaker 1: inaction on funding. TSA so far lost roughly four hundred
7:29
Speaker 1: and sixty officers since February, and that's on the heels
7:34
Speaker 1: of more than eleven hundred officers leaving last year during
7:37
Speaker 1: the shutdown. Notice a trend there absenteeism up nationwide, call
7:44
Speaker 1: out rates climbing from four percent to eleven percent and
7:47
Speaker 1: exceeding forty percent at some airports. That's me calling in
7:50
Speaker 1: as a TSA agent saying I can't show up to
7:53
Speaker 1: work today, got to work that second job or whatever.
7:56
Speaker 1: Forty percent down in some airports. As passenger volumes going up,
8:03
Speaker 1: which they say is about up from five percent over
8:05
Speaker 1: last year, Spring breaks upon us and they say it's
8:08
Speaker 1: going to get worse. Why, Well, apparently the FIFA World
8:13
Speaker 1: Cup in June is going to drive another surge and travel.
8:15
Speaker 1: I found that a little hard to believe. But what
8:17
Speaker 1: do I know about soccer? I know it's popular. Joe
8:22
Speaker 1: Strekker is a huge fan. McNeil s in hearing yesterday
8:27
Speaker 1: said wait times have exceeded four and a half hours
8:29
Speaker 1: at some airports, which causes the security a risk of
8:32
Speaker 1: misflights as well as additional security coturns. Going back to
8:36
Speaker 1: my comment about being ever vigilant, most people are. Many
8:38
Speaker 1: people have observed, you know, experts and who are into
8:42
Speaker 1: the whole concept of terrorism and bombing. Look, it's a
8:45
Speaker 1: big pack room full of people. They're all standing around
8:47
Speaker 1: waiting to get through the TSA line. This is before
8:50
Speaker 1: you go through TSA checkpoint. So somebody in that room
8:53
Speaker 1: might have a bomb. Huh. Conveniently packed in masses of
8:57
Speaker 1: people at literally every airport across this kind yep, a
9:00
Speaker 1: bit of a security risk, I would say so. And
9:04
Speaker 1: another reality, newly hired officers aren't going to be ready
9:10
Speaker 1: to time us in time to assist during the FIFA event,
9:13
Speaker 1: most notably the next surge they expect, because it takes
9:16
Speaker 1: several months for new TSA agents to be properly trained.
9:19
Speaker 1: This is like trying to rebuild law enforcement after condemning
9:23
Speaker 1: and condemning law enforcement as an inherently racist, terrible group
9:26
Speaker 1: of people across the board. Yeah, when public will goes
9:29
Speaker 1: against the police department. Police don't aren't supported by the community.
9:32
Speaker 1: They quit. Oh look hmm, so massive number of problems
9:41
Speaker 1: and again go back to the cause, the root of
9:43
Speaker 1: all of this. You see where the priorities are five
9:49
Speaker 1: fifteen to fifty five car see the talk station. Feel
9:51
Speaker 1: free to give me a call, plan to talk about
9:53
Speaker 1: in this hour and the next hour. And I love
9:55
Speaker 1: the facilitation of the conversation when you call in five
9:58
Speaker 1: on three seven four nine fifty five hundred at eight
10:00
Speaker 1: two to three talk or pound five to fifty on
10:02
Speaker 1: AT and T phones to be right back. This is
10:04
Speaker 1: shit Happy Friday. Five on three seven four nine fifty
10:06
Speaker 1: five hundred eight hundred eight two three talk, pound five
10:08
Speaker 1: fifty on AT and T phones. Judge of Politano podcast
10:11
Speaker 1: fifty five kr seed dot com, Tom Haggard or I
10:13
Speaker 1: hope the power you summoner last night was great socialist
10:17
Speaker 1: efforts to change America, largely driven by our education system
10:20
Speaker 1: which is basically nothing more than an indoctrination camp for
10:23
Speaker 1: our little socialist here AFP Americans for Prosperity on the
10:26
Speaker 1: affordability of Jenet. It's all there at fifty five kre
10:28
Speaker 1: seed dot com. Speak more about immigration immigration divide, That
10:31
Speaker 1: isn't Barton swam commenting on the whole situation politically, and
10:35
Speaker 1: the Democrats are on the wrong side. Remember the shutdown
10:37
Speaker 1: his consequence of their feelings about illegal immigrants, And he
10:39
Speaker 1: reminded folks a signal moment. Back in June twenty seven
10:43
Speaker 1: to twenty nineteen, remember the Democratic presidential debate. Ten candidates.
10:46
Speaker 1: They were all asked if their healthcare plans would provide
10:49
Speaker 1: coverage four quote undocumented immigrants. Close quotes. Some say illegal immigrants,
10:53
Speaker 1: but that's not politically correct anyway, those who are not
10:56
Speaker 1: entitled to be here under the law. Ten candidates asked,
10:58
Speaker 1: all of them across the left winging ideological spectrum. All
11:03
Speaker 1: of them raised their hand. He says there was a
11:05
Speaker 1: time when liberals and leftist would object to unfettered immigration
11:08
Speaker 1: because it infringed on their ability to expand the welfare state.
11:11
Speaker 1: That time seems to have gone, and he reminds the
11:17
Speaker 1: world seven years later, every Democrat in the country not
11:19
Speaker 1: named Biden knows. Kamala Harris lost twenty twenty four election
11:22
Speaker 1: because her party refused for three years to do anything
11:25
Speaker 1: about the southern border. Remember she was borders are had
11:28
Speaker 1: that workout for you. You're right, it's when electing. New
11:31
Speaker 1: York Times report, New York Times making exactly that assertion
11:36
Speaker 1: ran into summer. The newsworthy part was that it was running
11:38
Speaker 1: at times. Democrats know they blew it by grobbling before
11:42
Speaker 1: the progressive left, immigrant right crowd. It's conceivable that they
11:46
Speaker 1: may avoid that mistake for a few election cycles. And
11:51
Speaker 1: he refers to a liberal outlet called The search Light
11:54
Speaker 1: Institute earlier this week published a report on the electoral
11:58
Speaker 1: advantages to be had by Democrats if they can move
12:02
Speaker 1: to the center on immigration. Now a point, you got
12:06
Speaker 1: to ignore what they said about Trump and all of that.
12:08
Speaker 1: But he's the Searchlight report says, offers nothing but common sense.
12:12
Speaker 1: It's polling indicates that Republicans, Democrats, and independence support robust
12:17
Speaker 1: border enforcement and value legal immigration, even as they worry
12:22
Speaker 1: that too much of it, too fast, does damage to
12:25
Speaker 1: America's society. They're learning that in Europe very quickly. Too.
12:29
Speaker 1: Majorities believe that asylum seekers should apply for entry outside
12:33
Speaker 1: the US, and the illegal aliens who've worked, worked and
12:36
Speaker 1: committed no crimes offer over the course of many years,
12:40
Speaker 1: those who have been here for a long time, like
12:41
Speaker 1: the dreamers, merit some path to citizenship that's got to
12:45
Speaker 1: be hammered out, that's going to require new legislation. So
12:48
Speaker 1: while many may be desirous that all this person's been
12:51
Speaker 1: here and has been demonstrably beneficial to the American economy,
12:53
Speaker 1: and it's done work and make the arguments, I get
12:58
Speaker 1: it that Searchlight reporting points out of ISAs Democrats to
13:03
Speaker 1: acknowledge that the parties know nothing recklessness of twenty twenty
13:07
Speaker 1: one to twenty three, the wide open borders was a debacle,
13:12
Speaker 1: and that fair to force borders encourages human smuggling and
13:14
Speaker 1: other perils. Expect smart Democrats to calibrate accordingly. See that's
13:20
Speaker 1: kind of advice, and that a sane person would take.
13:23
Speaker 1: You know what, maybe I'm with the too far left
13:26
Speaker 1: Democrat crew. Maybe I should, you know, realign my position
13:29
Speaker 1: to appeal more to some of the centrists, the independence
13:32
Speaker 1: and maybe even peel off a couple of Republicans because
13:34
Speaker 1: I'm at least saying on border security and immigration generally speaking,
13:39
Speaker 1: may recalibrate point every time some young innocent dies by
13:45
Speaker 1: the gun or knife of an illegal immigrant, as happened
13:47
Speaker 1: last week in Chicago, eighteen year old loyalist student Sheridan
13:51
Speaker 1: Gorman watch elected Democrats mosey further away from their former radicalism.
13:55
Speaker 1: If they do, then maybe the government might open back up.
13:59
Speaker 1: That's a simple move over to the center a little bit.
14:01
Speaker 1: Say hey, I'm okay about this, and pay the ICE agents.
14:07
Speaker 1: Although I have to ignowl or pay TSA agents, I
14:09
Speaker 1: should say I have to acknowledge the ICE and the
14:11
Speaker 1: Democrats know this. It's one of the reasons that the
14:13
Speaker 1: Republicans have been able to hold out. ICE is being
14:15
Speaker 1: paid because the one big beautiful bill or the great
14:17
Speaker 1: big beautiful bill funded ICE for like three years. To
14:26
Speaker 1: talk to GOP voters, you may hear notes of moderation
14:29
Speaker 1: that weren't detectable a decade ago. And the question of
14:31
Speaker 1: border enforcement, Republicans are where they've always been, zero tolerance.
14:36
Speaker 1: What about the twelve to fourteen million, mostly Latin Americans
14:38
Speaker 1: migrants already here. The past decade has made a few
14:41
Speaker 1: things play to write leaning Americans, among them that the
14:45
Speaker 1: migrant workers, whose presence in the country they once regretted,
14:48
Speaker 1: tend toward religious observance and family cohesion. Also, they know
14:52
Speaker 1: how to work, don't underestimate. That point correlate to the
14:57
Speaker 1: GOP's partial transformation over the past decade into a working
15:00
Speaker 1: class party, is that ordinary Republicans voters identify more readily
15:05
Speaker 1: than they once did with a class of people known
15:07
Speaker 1: for sedulus's manual labor, illegal migrants. Whatever Trump and Steven
15:12
Speaker 1: Miller might say, don't vote and don't rely on welfare
15:14
Speaker 1: to any significant degree. But if they did vote, they
15:17
Speaker 1: wouldn't necessarily plump for Democrats and their offers of free stuff.
15:22
Speaker 1: Ten or fifteen years ago, right wing radio host told
15:24
Speaker 1: their audiences daily that Democrats wanted to addict illegal aliens
15:27
Speaker 1: to welfare and put them permanently on the D column.
15:30
Speaker 1: Things haven't worked out that way. The Hispanic voters have
15:33
Speaker 1: moved markedly toward the GOP in twenty twenty four. It
15:36
Speaker 1: reflects that point. None of this makes the federal government's
15:40
Speaker 1: failure to police the border any less of an outrage.
15:42
Speaker 1: No solution to the problem is free of pain, but
15:45
Speaker 1: it is no longer true if it ever was, that
15:48
Speaker 1: one party's voters want everything the others don't. That Trump
15:52
Speaker 1: had strong support on immigration, then lost a hefty measure
15:56
Speaker 1: of it as enforcement efforts became chaotic, tells us that
16:01
Speaker 1: most Americans find themselves somewhere in the middle waiting for
16:03
Speaker 1: their politicians to come up with some mess come up
16:05
Speaker 1: with some messy compromise. A compromise, at least as far
16:08
Speaker 1: as funding goes, does not have to be messy. Donald
16:12
Speaker 1: Trump's already moderated on the enforcement efforts. I don't recall
16:15
Speaker 1: reading of late any claims that you know, ICE agents
16:19
Speaker 1: have been you know, breaking into homes and you know,
16:21
Speaker 1: grabbing Americans and killing and raping and maiming and murdering,
16:24
Speaker 1: and all the cries and wailing and ashing and gnashing
16:27
Speaker 1: of teeth. It seems to be absent from the reporting lately. Oh,
16:30
Speaker 1: maybe the war is a distraction, But no, I do
16:33
Speaker 1: know that Trump has moderated some of the policies. Returning
16:35
Speaker 1: to that moderate will all across the board eighty twenty
16:39
Speaker 1: maybe even ninety ten issue that everybody, for the most
16:43
Speaker 1: part in America wants to get rid of murderers and
16:45
Speaker 1: rapists and evil people. Right, that's a no brainer. Five
16:55
Speaker 1: fifty five K see the talk stations the Ground've got
16:57
Speaker 1: local stories coming up. Her phone calls. Either way you
16:59

Speaker 1: sure we'll hear from Mike on that and get people
17:42
Speaker 1: rallying around the USS Cincinnati. It's a really cool exhibit.

Speaker 1: You can see it from the road up there. Let's
17:47
Speaker 1: go to the phone. See what Tom's got today. Tom,
17:49
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Morning Show. Very happy Friday eve to you.
17:53
Speaker 3: Hey, good morning.
17:55
Speaker 4: Just I haven't done a traffic or driving PSA in
17:58
Speaker 4: a while. On the thrilling out this morning, there's these uh,
18:03
Speaker 4: there's these things that I think most every card comes
18:05
Speaker 4: equipped with don't know people, Uh yeah, those, But the
18:10
Speaker 4: thing I was referring to is they're called mirrors.
18:13
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
18:13
Speaker 4: They usually have one one on each side and one
18:16
Speaker 4: in the middle. That's that. That's that kind of rectangular
18:19
Speaker 4: thing that's stuck to your front windshield.
18:21
Speaker 1: Yeah.
18:22
Speaker 4: And the reason of what one good one good use
18:25
Speaker 4: of those is to see people coming up from behind you.
18:27
Speaker 4: That is, you could you can actually see what's going
18:30
Speaker 4: on behind you if you look at them and pay attention.
18:33
Speaker 4: If if if you're not just you know, motoring along
18:36
Speaker 4: and all you care about is yourself, then you know
18:39
Speaker 4: you can notice somebody you know quickly approaching you from
18:43
Speaker 4: you know, from behind you, so you can maybe get
18:45
Speaker 4: out of.
18:45
Speaker 1: The way or maybe or.
18:48
Speaker 4: Maybe you can speed up a little bit and make
18:51
Speaker 4: the gap so the person can get around you. I
18:54
Speaker 4: don't I don't care. I don't mind changing lanes to
18:57
Speaker 4: get around people. I just I just don't think people
18:59
Speaker 4: realize what those little shiny things are that that are
19:02
Speaker 4: in front of them.
19:03
Speaker 5: So I just lead.
19:07
Speaker 1: Is there is there a broader point to be made
19:09
Speaker 1: use your rear view ear?
19:11
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, please please pay attention to what's going on
19:14
Speaker 4: around you. So and that's a good overall theme to
19:17
Speaker 4: pay attention so and that that we can go over
19:20
Speaker 4: into politics with that. We do we but a lot
19:22
Speaker 4: of people were just just lazy. We don't. We don't.
19:24
Speaker 4: We got we got other things.
19:26
Speaker 5: To pay attention to.
19:27
Speaker 4: And when I say lazy, I don't necessarily mean all
19:29
Speaker 4: across the board you're lazy. You decide there's certain areas
19:32
Speaker 4: you're not going to bother with because you're paying attention
19:34
Speaker 4: to something else. And but when you have something like
19:38
Speaker 4: like elected officials that directly affect your life, you know,
19:42
Speaker 4: there's the If you want to avoid sports, there are
19:44
Speaker 4: people who don't care about Opening Day, sure, and if
19:47
Speaker 4: you don't pay attention to the reds or whatever, it's
19:49
Speaker 4: not going to hurt you, gonna you know whatever. But politics,
19:54
Speaker 4: you got to have something some attention paid.
19:58
Speaker 5: To that you need.
19:59
Speaker 4: Everybody who is old enough you get I think you
20:02
Speaker 4: get to the point of fifteen sixteen, you need to
20:04
Speaker 4: start paying attention to it to some extent, maybe not
20:08
Speaker 4: like you do you call it weed dwellers, maybe not
20:10
Speaker 4: that much, but you got to start thinking about what
20:13
Speaker 4: what what are these people doing that are affecting my life?
20:17
Speaker 4: They directly affect what happens to you, how much money
20:20
Speaker 4: comes out of your paycheck, rules and regulations that you
20:23
Speaker 4: are supposed to follow, things like that. You know, I
20:26
Speaker 4: think it's and of course, you know, schools aren't really
20:29
Speaker 4: teaching our kids to do that unless they want to
20:32
Speaker 4: take them out and protest something. You know that that
20:35
Speaker 4: that they'll that they'll push, that kind of civic stuff
20:37
Speaker 4: they'll push. But actually teaching children in schools, which which
20:41
Speaker 4: your guy last night in is empower you. Seminar was
20:46
Speaker 4: talking about how the education system is is being geared
20:49
Speaker 4: toward getting people away from capitalism and the way the
20:54
Speaker 4: West was built. But you know, you have to pay attention.
20:58
Speaker 4: Parents have to teach their kids some things, and I
21:00
Speaker 4: know they get bored. Oh dad, mom, I don't want
21:02
Speaker 4: to hear about it.
21:02
Speaker 6: Well you need to hear about it.
21:04
Speaker 4: You need to pay attention to it. And don't let
21:05
Speaker 4: your kids break you down, you know, talk to them,
21:08
Speaker 4: you know, send them down, say this is important stuff.
21:10
Speaker 5: See this.
21:11
Speaker 4: You know this money you want me to give you
21:13
Speaker 4: every every day, every week, whatever you want me to
21:16
Speaker 4: help you buy this? This is why I can or
21:18
Speaker 4: can't do it because of how much money I make
21:20
Speaker 4: and how much money they're taking. We got we gotta
21:23
Speaker 4: pay some attention to this. We got to put some
21:24
Speaker 4: effort into it, and we got to teach our kids
21:27
Speaker 4: don't vote Democrat.
21:28
Speaker 1: Have a great day, bro, you too, Tom, That's kind
21:30
Speaker 1: of you. To my point, the fools one's not looking
21:33
Speaker 1: out for his or her and the best interest. Yeah,
21:35
Speaker 1: and not looking at politics is foolish because they do.
21:41
Speaker 1: Politicians so profoundly impact our day to day lives and
21:45
Speaker 1: in many ways we don't even recognize. That's where the
21:47
Speaker 1: weed dwelling comes in. There's a long road you got
21:50
Speaker 1: to get to from what they do to how it
21:52
Speaker 1: impacts your life. And sometimes it's a little difficult to follow,
21:55
Speaker 1: but it's worth following it to appreciate the realities. You know,
21:59
Speaker 1: every little it counts. What they do can really mean
22:02
Speaker 1: a lot to your world. Real quick. Here if a
22:04
Speaker 1: positive development out of Columbus, which rarely happens, the Larry
22:08
Speaker 1: Henderson Act past the Ohio House a representative yesterday. You
22:12
Speaker 1: may remember the Hamilton County Deputy Larry Henderson was intentionally
22:16
Speaker 1: killed while directing traffic at U. See, well, some good
22:22
Speaker 1: can come out of it. Increase penalties for anybody convicted
22:24
Speaker 1: of killing a first responder. According to introduced by Representative
22:28
Speaker 1: Cindy Abrams and Phil Plummer, both Republicans, the Larry Henderson
22:32
Speaker 1: Act increases penalties for aggravated murder in the state when
22:35
Speaker 1: a victim is a peace officer, prosecutor, first responder, or
22:39
Speaker 1: military member. Legislation specifically mandates the death penalty or life
22:44
Speaker 1: imprisonment without the possibility of parole for adult defender's convicted
22:47
Speaker 1: of killing someone in one of those protected roles. There
22:51
Speaker 1: you go. At least someone's doing something about it.
22:53
Speaker 7: Now.
22:53
Speaker 1: Will that act as a deterrence that will remain to
22:57
Speaker 1: be seen? But get the word out there. Maybe if
23:00
Speaker 1: you know ahead of time and you're inclined to murder
23:02
Speaker 1: a first responder, you might want to take that into account.
23:05
Speaker 1: Five thirty five fifty five kr CD talk station stack
23:08
Speaker 1: is stupid coming up. Phone calls are always welcome and
23:10
Speaker 1: we'll take priority. I'll be right back. Fifty five krc

Speaker 1: aforementioned burning down the House that's actually came out in
23:45
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty three my graduation from high school year. That

Speaker 1: residence about three am on Sunday, then stood in the

24:06
Speaker 1: the quote unquote alleged arson the home occupied by his
24:10
Speaker 1: mom and six year old son, as well as a
24:12
Speaker 1: third individual. His mom, Rebecca Plous, set of police as

Speaker 1: she awoke when the smoke detector went off, went downstairs

Speaker 1: to find the residence filled with heavy smoke. Plaus spotted
24:21
Speaker 1: Hay standing over a smoldering, smoldering living room chair court
24:25
Speaker 1: of the phony complaint. At the time, Plaus could hear
24:28
Speaker 1: the defendant sing the nineteen eighty three rock song burning
24:31
Speaker 1: down the House, along with the smoldering chair. Fire investigator
24:36
Speaker 1: spotted melted glass in the living room, four melted wallpaper,
24:39
Speaker 1: and a charred fireplace mantle. Hey taken to the hospital
24:43
Speaker 1: quote due to being under the influence close quote shocking
24:46
Speaker 1: no One. While being treated, he reportedly informed medical staff
24:49
Speaker 1: that he was having a bad day his words, so
24:53
Speaker 1: he had attempted to place the chair in his fireplace,
24:58
Speaker 1: telling police he burned the chair because it was dirty.
25:04
Speaker 1: I'm going to go back to the under the Influence
25:06
Speaker 1: to explain that Hey hit with multiple amen brother hit
25:10
Speaker 1: with multiple arson charges as well as risking catastrophe and
25:12
Speaker 1: an injuring the welfare of a child, locked up and
25:15
Speaker 1: then Blair County Jail, not in front of Judge Silverstein
25:19
Speaker 1: and Hamilton County a one million dollar bail. He's also
25:23
Speaker 1: a registered sex offender convicted in twenty twenty two of
25:25
Speaker 1: indecent assault, corruption of miners in unlawful contact or communication
25:29
Speaker 1: with a miner. We got a provo Utah where a
25:38
Speaker 1: mom is accused of kidnapping an eleven year old boy
25:41
Speaker 1: and forcing him to apologize to her daughter after he
25:45
Speaker 1: rejected the girl I know eleven years old. Amberley Colazzo
25:50
Speaker 1: said her eleven year old son been constantly bothered by
25:53
Speaker 1: a girl who has a crush on him. Clausus said,
25:56
Speaker 1: for the last two years she's been bothering my son,
25:58
Speaker 1: but Eventually, Kalaso said this situation went too far. One day,
26:02
Speaker 1: Clausa said her son got fed up with the fact
26:04
Speaker 1: that she doesn't leave him alone, and he rejected the
26:07
Speaker 1: girl with a rude comment that's eleven years old. That
26:11
Speaker 1: never happens, does it. Then the girl's mom step in,
26:15
Speaker 1: Shannon Marie Tofuga, accused the kidnapping the boy to force
26:20
Speaker 1: him to apologize to her daughter. Flasa said grabbed him
26:25
Speaker 1: by the arm and said he was going with her
26:26
Speaker 1: to apologize to her daughter. She put him in her
26:28
Speaker 1: vehicle and took him to her home and sat him
26:30
Speaker 1: on her couch. Clausa said her son was threatened and
26:33
Speaker 1: forced to apologize to the girl before Tofuga released him.
26:38
Speaker 1: She said they basically opened the door, told him to
26:40
Speaker 1: get the F word out, and he ran all the
26:42
Speaker 1: way home. This resulted in recently filed child abuse and
26:48
Speaker 1: kidnapping charges for Tafuga, pushed for ballard with the US or.
26:53
Speaker 1: The Utah County Attorney's office said, even if your child
26:56
Speaker 1: is being bullied, the law does not give you permission
26:58
Speaker 1: to kidnap the child. Stay I'll use to Foo's attorney
27:02
Speaker 1: released the statement, saying a part that they respectfully deny
27:04
Speaker 1: the allegation of driving. The filing as a symptom of
27:07
Speaker 1: our own society's failings, where children were once held accountable
27:10
Speaker 1: by their own parents. Eh faga a closa not not
27:15
Speaker 1: buying that. So the situation could have been handled differently.
27:17
Speaker 1: Of course, had she come knock on my door like
27:21
Speaker 1: an adult and said, hey, our kids are having issues,
27:23
Speaker 1: can we speak, I would have gladly let her in
27:26
Speaker 1: and we could have handled the situation. But not once
27:28
Speaker 1: did she ever try. I never met this woman.
27:34
Speaker 4: Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots.

28:42
Speaker 1: Get the memo. It's an opening day here in Cincinnati. Corey.
28:45
Speaker 1: Let's go to the phone. See what Jay's got this morning. Jay,
28:46
Speaker 1: Welcome to the morning show. Happy Friday, Eve.
28:49
Speaker 8: To you, sir, Hey, Good morning from Rhode Island. Brian,
28:52
Speaker 8: you're coming in loud and player on you iHeartMedia app.
28:56
Speaker 1: We're global this morning. Day, We're global this morning from
29:00
Speaker 1: Paris you are to Cleveland to Rhode Islands. What's on
29:03
Speaker 1: your mind?
29:04
Speaker 8: To Dave Jake, Hey, When I was in Corporate America
29:08
Speaker 8: years ago, I had many jobs where I was responsible
29:12
Speaker 8: for productivity and cost out and weekly I was in
29:16
Speaker 8: front of CEOs and their staff talking about how are
29:19
Speaker 8: we doing planned versus actual? On multimillion dollar waste elimination
29:26
Speaker 8: initiatives that went on for years yep. And so we
29:30
Speaker 8: were accountable every week to stand and deliver. We were
29:33
Speaker 8: either making it or we weren't. The silence from jd
29:37
Speaker 8: Vance he's been in the job to take waste out
29:39
Speaker 8: of the federal government. I think he's been in the
29:42
Speaker 8: job for two weeks, which some people may say, well,
29:44
Speaker 8: come on, man, give him a chance. Rome is burning,
29:48
Speaker 8: and there was a one point seven trillion dollar discretionary
29:52
Speaker 8: funding and the federal budget. Let's just start there. But
29:57
Speaker 8: if Jay was in JD Vance's shoes, if I was
29:59
Speaker 8: given the blessing the honor of cutting waste down of
30:03
Speaker 8: the federal government, there would be a daily press conference
30:07
Speaker 8: and I would be putting up numbers that would blow
30:10
Speaker 8: people's hair back, probably starting with taking a page from
30:14
Speaker 8: doctor Fauci, which is every government employee that's non essential,
30:19
Speaker 8: you don't show up for work anymore because we have
30:21
Speaker 8: a war to pay for.
30:22
Speaker 9: And he literally would.
30:24
Speaker 1: He literally had an announcement yesterday about using artificial intelligence
30:27
Speaker 1: to address fraud. It's in the in medical center, in
30:31
Speaker 1: the centers for Medicare and Medicaid services, so that was literally,
30:36
Speaker 1: they know.
30:36
Speaker 10: Where the fraud is.
30:37
Speaker 11: They know where the fraud is.
30:38
Speaker 8: Now the report that the American for Prosperity had a
30:42
Speaker 8: Foyer request for UH, they released the report to them
30:46
Speaker 8: that said where the fraud was, that showed Ohio was
30:49
Speaker 8: in worst case. So we don't have to wait for
30:50
Speaker 8: artificial intelligence. The data exists right now. For JD to
30:54
Speaker 8: do something to hide behind artificial intelligence is disappointing.
30:58
Speaker 1: I know you're you're very quick to criticize, and that's fine.
31:01
Speaker 1: There's certainly lots of criticism to be levied on all
31:04
Speaker 1: aspects of government. But the man's been on the job
31:06
Speaker 1: for two weeks, and you know, sometimes it's like the
31:09
Speaker 1: wheels of justice. It spins slowly, but at least it's
31:11
Speaker 1: spinning in the right direction. With JD. Vans behind the effort.
31:14
Speaker 1: In this time, hopefully Vansaity administration is uncovered fraud among
31:18
Speaker 1: a manay the nineteen billion dollars at least since the administration
31:21
Speaker 1: has been investigating a Minnesota alone. So yeah, there's a
31:25
Speaker 1: lot of fraud out there. We know where a lot
31:27
Speaker 1: of it is, and here it is just an announcement yesterday.
31:30
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll pray that he makes more regular announcements
31:33
Speaker 1: and identifies more fraud. Again, I think I like JD.
31:35
Speaker 1: Vance in the role more than say, anybody in a
31:38
Speaker 1: Biden administration or a potential Kamala Harris association.
31:42
Speaker 8: Hey, I'm good with that, but TikTok, we're burning a
31:46
Speaker 8: billion dollars a day over and Iran. We can't just
31:48
Speaker 8: identify it. It has to be eliminated. Putting it up
31:51
Speaker 8: on a scoreboard and doing nothing about it yield.
31:53
Speaker 1: You're going to get no argument for me on the
31:55
Speaker 1: idea that eliminating fraud wasting of view should be priority
31:57
Speaker 1: won for government. That's period of the story, and hopefully
32:00
Speaker 1: it'll work. Wait for it. I don't expect immediate action
32:04
Speaker 1: from anybody in government, as much as I would like
32:06
Speaker 1: it to happen instantaneously. We live in an instant gratification world.
32:10
Speaker 1: Sometimes that are in lies the problem. We expect things
32:13
Speaker 1: to happen immediately when it's virtually impossible, giving them problems,
32:17
Speaker 1: the hurdles and the impediments and government to make it
32:20
Speaker 1: happen immediately, and then when it does happen, the inevitable
32:23
Speaker 1: litigation to stop it from happening. So you know this
32:28
Speaker 1: is where we find ourselves. Five thirty five, fifty three
32:31
Speaker 1: or fifty five cares to the talxtation. Pat's next, Pat,
32:33
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Morning show and a happy Friday Eve
32:35
Speaker 1: to you.
32:36
Speaker 12: Same to you, Brian with TSA and it's the Coastguard FEMA.
32:43
Speaker 12: I think secret service. None of them are getting paid.
32:47
Speaker 12: And all this comes down because the Democrats don't want
32:52
Speaker 12: while they want illegals to vod and I think that
32:57
Speaker 12: they should not be getting paid themselves.
32:59
Speaker 1: Well we all agree on that one and Pat and
33:01
Speaker 1: they have voted on it the other day but it
33:02
Speaker 1: didn't go anywhere, so yeah, don't It's the audacity that
33:07
Speaker 1: they are getting paid themselves and refusing to pay the
33:11
Speaker 1: people who are actually out there working is amazing. And
33:14
Speaker 1: the predicate behind it, as you point out, is to
33:16
Speaker 1: protect people who are not in this country lawfully and
33:19
Speaker 1: who is subject to a detainer order. Look, that's just it.
33:22
Speaker 1: This is it. This is where the Democrats are. So
33:25
Speaker 1: do you like that? Vote for him? You don't like it,
33:28
Speaker 1: you think it's crazy, then don't vote back in office
33:31
Speaker 1: and don't make November this sort of historic reality that,
33:34
Speaker 1: oh my god, the party in power is going to
33:36
Speaker 1: be out of power. Why does that have to be?
33:39
Speaker 1: It is not a foregone conclusions or conclusion rather, and
33:43
Speaker 1: it doesn't always happen. So what's more important the American
33:51
Speaker 1: people or every other human being on the planet. Democrats
33:56
Speaker 1: have raised their hand and already told you which side
34:00
Speaker 1: they're on. Five fifty five fifty five kr C the

35:05
Speaker 1: the Forest Hill School District for refusing to produce its
35:08
Speaker 1: ICE Action Plan, Immigrting Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Plan. They
35:12
Speaker 1: redacted a vast majority or a substantial amount of the
35:14
Speaker 1: documents he had requested pursuing to a record's request. We'll
35:17
Speaker 1: find out why they have a plan in the first
35:19
Speaker 1: place and the status of the lawsuit. Jay Ratliffe I
35:22
Speaker 1: heard media aviation expert every Thursday eight thirty looking forward
35:27
Speaker 1: to that. He blowed aviation topics, including the wealthy announcement
35:31
Speaker 1: yesterday from the TSAC chief that look, if you don't
35:33
Speaker 1: get the government back up, and we may very well
35:35
Speaker 1: still have to close some airports lines as long as
35:38
Speaker 1: four and a half hours and of course ICE agent
35:40
Speaker 1: surge has helped to some or ICE agent surge there
35:43
Speaker 1: has helped to some degree, obviously has not solved the problem.
35:47
Speaker 1: And remember the vinear behind all the government closure is
35:49
Speaker 1: the Democrats well desired to keep illegal immigrants in our
35:52
Speaker 1: country in spite of them being subject to detainer's orders
35:54
Speaker 1: and detainer orders, in spite of the fact that most
35:57
Speaker 1: of their constituents want the worst to the worst out
36:00
Speaker 1: of our country. Going back to the comment I made
36:03
Speaker 1: earlier in the program, and before I get to Bobby, Bobby,
36:07
Speaker 1: bear with me on this one, because it was Pat's
36:09
Speaker 1: call that made me want to get this Carl Rove
36:12
Speaker 1: comments and observations about the upcoming November election. Of course,
36:15
Speaker 1: remember you party in power usually loses in November election.
36:19
Speaker 1: Does it have to be that way? Well, if you
36:21
Speaker 1: don't like the government being shut down, you think that
36:24
Speaker 1: that the Democrats are really being very unfair, not just
36:27
Speaker 1: the American people generally speaking, notably the traveling American people,
36:32
Speaker 1: but to the ICE agents specifically. They're not getting paid
36:36
Speaker 1: that and not all of them are engaged in enforcement
36:40
Speaker 1: actions against illegal immigrants. Anyway, Rowe points out the outcome
36:44
Speaker 1: of the midterms largely depends on the popularity of the
36:47
Speaker 1: present of President Trump, his job of approval, and the
36:49
Speaker 1: Real Clear Politics average not good. Only forty one point
36:53
Speaker 1: three percent fifty six point three disapproved President's approval number
36:58
Speaker 1: this low n't really precede as significant loss of the House,
37:07
Speaker 1: but Trump's popularity isn't the only consequential number. Get a
37:09
Speaker 1: load of this. This speaks volumes. I think the Real
37:14
Speaker 1: Clear Politics average has the Democrat Party at thirty five
37:19
Speaker 1: point eight favorable fifty five to seven unfavorable. The Republican
37:25
Speaker 1: Party is doing better thirty nine three two fifty three
37:28
Speaker 1: nine favorable unfavorable. How about that, we asked rhetorically, Carl does,
37:33
Speaker 1: how did how did the Democrats become less popular than
37:38
Speaker 1: mister Trump? It took many years, much hard work, wacky
37:42
Speaker 1: political stanzas, and plenty of missteps. Even the RCP generic
37:47
Speaker 1: House ballot is a problem for Democratic Party, and he
37:49
Speaker 1: points out the you know, the the solid dams, the
37:52
Speaker 1: the the the flux seats ones that are up for grabs.
37:56
Speaker 1: This prognosticator suggests there are seventeen districts that are toss up,
38:00
Speaker 1: thirteen held by Republicans, four by Dems. On top of
38:04
Speaker 1: those thirteen seats held by Dems, two by Republicans that
38:07
Speaker 1: lean blew, there's one Democrat and three Republican seats that
38:12
Speaker 1: lean read. Okay, there's all your geography and the math
38:15
Speaker 1: on this. Not a lot of targets overall for Democrats.
38:20
Speaker 1: If they swept all thirty nine at risk seats, that
38:23
Speaker 1: will translate to a gain of twenty one, about half
38:26
Speaker 1: of the forty one seat boosts they saw in twenty eighteen.
38:28
Speaker 1: So bad doesn't necessarily have to be as bad as
38:30
Speaker 1: before given the math on this one, He points out
38:34
Speaker 1: Congressional Democrats aren't doing much to advance their cause. Their
38:37
Speaker 1: quote unquote affordability agenda is an amorphous afterthought. Many Democratic
38:41
Speaker 1: candidates act as if trashing Trump is all they need
38:44
Speaker 1: to do. That's status quote for the Democrats now for
38:47
Speaker 1: how many years? The public also increasingly blames Democrats for
38:53
Speaker 1: the federal government shutdown. This is my point to pat
38:57
Speaker 1: air travelers standing in line for hours to get through
38:59
Speaker 1: security wish a pox on all politicians, but the Democratic
39:02
Speaker 1: insistence that no funding for immigration and customs enforcement is
39:07
Speaker 1: playing to the base. It led a senior House Democrat
39:10
Speaker 1: Virginia's Don Bayer to concede. The tactic isn't forcing any
39:14
Speaker 1: changes en quote. In the meantime, we're making people hurt
39:18
Speaker 1: close quote not supposed to say that part out loud. Don.
39:22
Speaker 1: Democrats missed an offer MP during Mark Wayne Mullen's confirmation
39:25
Speaker 1: hearing for Homeland Security Secretary. Democrats could have pressed him
39:30
Speaker 1: to negotiate in good faith on specific changes they wanted.
39:35
Speaker 1: This would have given Americans a better idea of the Democrats' demands,
39:38
Speaker 1: the reason they have to wait in those interminable tsa lines.
39:43
Speaker 1: If mister Mulden refused to negotiate, Democrats could have voted
39:46
Speaker 1: against him and had a better argument to make to voters.
39:49
Speaker 1: If he did negotiate, they might have gotten much of
39:52
Speaker 1: what they wanted. Instead, they look in transient to make
39:56
Speaker 1: things worse. Leading Democrats keep saying foolish things like in
40:00
Speaker 1: public governor the Avenue, some claim California. This is hilarious.
40:04
Speaker 1: California is a lower tax state than Texas or Florida. Yeah,
40:07
Speaker 1: tell that to all the tax refugees leaving the Golden State.
40:12
Speaker 1: Governor Kathy Hoak will run in twenty twenty two for it.
40:14
Speaker 1: Told New York Republicans to just jump on a bus
40:17
Speaker 1: and head down to Florida where you belong. Okay, get
40:20
Speaker 1: out of town. That's an actual quote. Last week, though,
40:24
Speaker 1: she said she's looking for people with a high net
40:26
Speaker 1: worth to quote support the generous social programs. Close quote
40:31
Speaker 1: of New York. She said, maybe the first step should
40:35
Speaker 1: be to go down to Palm Beach and see who
40:37
Speaker 1: you could bring back home. Miss Locle may have discovered
40:42
Speaker 1: it was a mistake to raise taxes, but her answer
40:45
Speaker 1: isn't to cut them a restrainings, a cut in restrain spending.
40:49
Speaker 1: It's to fined what she calls patriotic millionaires who are
40:52
Speaker 1: willing to move back north. Good luck with that. Even
40:56
Speaker 1: with all that going on against Democrats, Republicans have to
40:59
Speaker 1: up their and soon. The off year and special elections
41:03
Speaker 1: have been awful for the GOP doesn't have to be, though.
41:07
Speaker 1: The White House is counting on a successful end of
41:09
Speaker 1: the Iranian conflict in a booming economy with dropping inflation
41:13
Speaker 1: in the third quarter. That's a big ask, isn't it.
41:17
Speaker 1: If these don't materialize, and the latter Rove observes is unlikely.
41:21
Speaker 1: In other words, dropping inflation, the GOB will be left
41:26
Speaker 1: to hope. Democrats keep providing vivid contrast points that drive
41:31
Speaker 1: swing voters right ward. Democrats are doing their part to
41:35
Speaker 1: advance the GOP cause it's time for Republicans to do theirs,
41:38
Speaker 1: and that's where everyone comes in. We learn from this
41:40
Speaker 1: from Donovan and Neil Americans for Prosperity. You need to
41:43
Speaker 1: keep pointing this out. That's the door knocking campaign they
41:47
Speaker 1: go into. You knock on somebody's door. It's that chain
41:49
Speaker 1: of what government does and how it impacts you. Are
41:52
Speaker 1: you aware of why the government shut down? Let's walk
41:55
Speaker 1: through the reasons why. When you explain that to voters
42:01
Speaker 1: who might not be paying attention to the secuitest path
42:04
Speaker 1: of their pain leading back to government actions most notally
42:08
Speaker 1: brought to you by the Democrats, you might not have
42:10
Speaker 1: them motivated to go out and vote in November. Screw
42:13
Speaker 1: all of them. What's the point no convince people going
42:17
Speaker 1: door to door With AFP's assessance, they make it very easy,
42:20
Speaker 1: going door to door and reminding folks why it is.
42:23
Speaker 1: Whatever pain they're experiencing can go back to the Democrats
42:25
Speaker 1: and why it is. The Republicans have some perhaps response
42:29
Speaker 1: and plan to ease that pain and relieve us from
42:34
Speaker 1: the pains that government has inflicted upon us. Bobby, thanks
42:37
Speaker 1: for holding while I ranted a little bit, and thanks
42:39
Speaker 1: again to Carl Road for providing some fodder for that.
42:41
Speaker 1: Good to hear from you, Bobby. Happy Friday Eve and
42:43
Speaker 1: happy Opening Day.
42:46
Speaker 11: Well, happy Opening Day to you too, my friend. I'll
42:49
Speaker 11: tell you what Saints Flag family, But the thing about
42:51
Speaker 11: it is it is handicapped.
42:53
Speaker 2: Thursday.
42:54
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, Every Thursday, Bobby joins the program to
42:57
Speaker 1: provide us his thoughts and insights on the high low
42:59
Speaker 1: on number of shootings in downtown Cincinnati. Proper Bobby, your prediction?
43:05
Speaker 1: And are you going to place a bet on one
43:06
Speaker 1: of the gambling sites on this one?
43:09
Speaker 11: No, sir, I won't be placing a bit. Oh, I'm
43:12
Speaker 11: doing just wishing for the law enforcement to take care
43:15
Speaker 11: of the problems that are coming out this weekend. And
43:17
Speaker 11: we got it at four and a half with the
43:19
Speaker 11: weather being nice, even though it's going to rain. We
43:23
Speaker 11: still think the stabbings, the shootings and all the other
43:27
Speaker 11: violence will be at four and a half.
43:29
Speaker 1: Four point five, now the clock starts running in your prediction,
43:31
Speaker 1: that's a Friday through Sunday. Clock right correct, Okay, so
43:36
Speaker 1: not running yet, place your bets before midnight tonight four
43:39
Speaker 1: point five? Are you over under or how do you
43:42
Speaker 1: end up with half a shooting Bobby?
43:45
Speaker 11: Well, we take the over and we've been.
43:49
Speaker 1: Right about every time I know, Bobby. I'm just kidding
43:52
Speaker 1: her out, all right. Place your bet. Bobby's at four
43:55
Speaker 1: and a half and he's been pretty close to accurate.
43:57
Speaker 1: You have a great one, Bobby, Pleasure hearing from you.
43:59
Speaker 1: Sixteen right now fifty about Krseed talk station. Get in
44:01
Speaker 1: touch with fast and pro roof in that winner the
44:03
Speaker 1: talk station six twenty Here fifty by KARSD talk Station.
44:08
Speaker 1: Happy Friday. Eve got colors from all over this morning.
44:13
Speaker 1: It's just putting a big smile on my face. From
44:16
Speaker 1: Paris to Cleveland to Connecticut. We have a Punter Gorda, Florida,
44:20
Speaker 1: and good morning to Steve in Punter Gorda listening and
44:24
Speaker 1: real quick here before I get to Mississippi. James, Wow,
44:27
Speaker 1: we are so nationwide today, worldwide. My wife responded, who
44:30
Speaker 1: is a healthcare attorney and she has been so since
44:33
Speaker 1: well basically she got out of law school. In essence,
44:36
Speaker 1: talking about Jay's comment about Jadvan's not going fast enough
44:39
Speaker 1: or quickly enough for him. In terms of dealing with fraud,
44:42
Speaker 1: most nobly medical fraud. My wife point I listened. I
44:45
Speaker 1: received daily feeds from the American Health Law Association that
44:47
Speaker 1: discusses what CMS is doing to ferret out the fraud.
44:51
Speaker 1: Here's your problem, Jay, the Blue states like California drag
44:53
Speaker 1: their feet, and when the funds are held back, the
44:56
Speaker 1: states sue to get their money. So there's your slow
44:58
Speaker 1: wheels of justice to get to the end of that result.
45:01
Speaker 1: Before you start getting getting the information so you can
45:03
Speaker 1: find the fraud. The moratorium on new DMEs, gurbal medical
45:08
Speaker 1: equipment outfits, and that's a lot of fraud there too,
45:10
Speaker 1: does not help with current fraudulent entities. CMS contracts with
45:15
Speaker 1: the state Department of Health who have limited staff to investigate.
45:19
Speaker 1: Going back to the problems maybe we have here in
45:21
Speaker 1: Ohio not enough resources directed toward fraud, same old stuff,
45:26
Speaker 1: different day. It takes time to investigate and shut down
45:28
Speaker 1: the fraudulent entities. She says. You know my frustration with
45:31
Speaker 1: a good corporate citizen complying with the regulations and how
45:34
Speaker 1: the states just don't pay attention to the fraud. In
45:38
Speaker 1: other words, I read from that Jdvans only can do
45:41
Speaker 1: so much. The states must cooperate without the state's cooperation,
45:45
Speaker 1: and quite often they're incentivized to not cooperate. See Minnesota,
45:49
Speaker 1: which is set up to be I guess a soft
45:52
Speaker 1: target for fraud so you can easily get away with it.
45:55
Speaker 1: You're not going to be able to deal with the fraud,
45:57
Speaker 1: wasted abuse very quickly. So thank you Paul for chiming
46:00
Speaker 1: in on that, and I appreciate you listening and love you, honey.
46:02
Speaker 1: Let's go to Mississippi. James James, welcome back, my friend.
46:05
Speaker 1: Good to hear from you this morning.
46:07
Speaker 5: Good morning, doctor Brian. I come in peace, love everybody.
46:10
Speaker 5: There's nothing you can do about it.
46:12
Speaker 1: Good attitude.
46:14
Speaker 5: Hey you know that metaphor the Emperor has no clothes.
46:18
Speaker 1: Yes, I do.
46:20
Speaker 5: Hey, that's beginning to fit society as a whole. And
46:25
Speaker 5: we're gonna need the kids that used to come in
46:28
Speaker 5: and look at it and say, hey, it's just nicked.
46:31
Speaker 5: It's nicked. Let's deal with what it is.
46:34
Speaker 2: Yeah with us.
46:35
Speaker 5: Adn't we done got indoctrinated, We done dug in, sized
46:39
Speaker 5: up and everything is and yeah, have no clothes on?
46:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no I'm with you all day long day,
46:46
Speaker 1: and let's just use the illustration Donald Trump. It's a
46:47
Speaker 1: great example. You have folks on the right the they
46:50
Speaker 1: call them maga, and I understand that Donald Trump can
46:53
Speaker 1: literally do no rock. They're blind to some legitimate criticism
46:58
Speaker 1: of the man. In the minute anybody raises any criticism,
47:00
Speaker 1: you're already labeled some kind of commie socialist Kamala Harris
47:04
Speaker 1: or Gavin Newsom want to be or something. I received
47:07
Speaker 1: criticism along those lines all the time. I try to
47:09
Speaker 1: be sort of Switzerland with my assessment of people and things. Generally, yes,
47:14
Speaker 1: he does wonderful things, and I think we're moving in
47:16
Speaker 1: the right direction yet, but there's a room for criticism.
47:18
Speaker 1: Of course. On the other side, they got Trump Arrangement syndrome.
47:21
Speaker 1: Anything Donald Trump does, it's immediately no. That's terrible. In
47:25
Speaker 1: spite of the fact they refuse to analyze what exactly
47:27
Speaker 1: he wants to do. Any capitulation or agreement with Trump,
47:30
Speaker 1: they are immediately ostracized by their own people. Right, maybe
47:34
Speaker 1: the emperor doesn't have any clothes and it requires someone
47:36
Speaker 1: objective to say whoa whoa, whoa whoa. You guys are
47:39
Speaker 1: arguing amongst themselves over stupid points. What about this. Let's
47:43
Speaker 1: look at this specific illustration and let's find fault with it.
47:46
Speaker 1: Let's praise it, but at least let's break it down
47:48
Speaker 1: logically and reasonably and not go apoplect that can start
47:52
Speaker 1: pulling our hair out and balling up at a fetal
47:54
Speaker 1: position because well, evil orange man or something. You're right, James,
47:59
Speaker 1: and you.
47:59
Speaker 5: Know that job is left to you and I brouh.
48:04
Speaker 1: I'll take it, James, you and your brother, We're marching
48:07
Speaker 1: towards the truth. Happy to go there. You keep up
48:11

48:54
Speaker 1: One person injured after a shooting at West Price Sill
48:57
Speaker 1: Wednesday night. Joe noted that that was a fifty to
48:59
Speaker 1: seventy percent and AFTAB purval and current council makeup status quo.
49:04
Speaker 1: Elections have consequences, not that maybe the election would have
49:07
Speaker 1: done had any impact on this. One happened just before
49:10
Speaker 1: eleven pm forty one hundred block of West eighth. Officers
49:13
Speaker 1: found when they got there one person with non life
49:15
Speaker 1: threatening gunshot wound. Police said no information on a suspect
49:18
Speaker 1: of this time. Cause of the shooting unknown investigation ongoing
49:21
Speaker 1: crime stoppers three five two thirty forty. Let's see here.
49:27
Speaker 1: One person injured in a shooting yesterday Wardall Avenue, Westwood,
49:32
Speaker 1: seventy one eighty four percent AFTAB and current council Thanks,
49:36
Speaker 1: Joe Thorty said. The victim a man, taken to the
49:40
Speaker 1: hospital with non life threatening injuries after being struck in
49:42
Speaker 1: the leg. Unclear whether the police have a suspect at
49:44
Speaker 1: this time. I mentioned crime Stoppers three five two thirty forty.
49:50
Speaker 1: We got a West Price Hill where a woman's been
49:52
Speaker 1: arrested and facing now several charges. Prosecutors say she assaulted
49:58
Speaker 1: a thirteen year old kid who suffered a fracture. This
50:01
Speaker 1: from announcement from the Hamlin County Prosecutor's office. Police arrested
50:05
Speaker 1: twenty nine year old Adrianna and Napier, charging her with
50:08
Speaker 1: an aging Children floidas, assault, strangulation, and domestic violence. She
50:11
Speaker 1: pleaded not guilty. Yesterday morning, prosecutor say January sixteen, at
50:15
Speaker 1: a West Price Hill home, Napier became upset with a
50:18
Speaker 1: thirteen year old after the child did not do household chores.
50:22
Speaker 1: Napier then hit the child with a belt and a
50:25
Speaker 1: curtain rod. Joe, I think we have an award to
50:29
Speaker 1: give out this morning, causing multiple injuries, including a fracture.
50:32
Speaker 1: Napier also allegedly punched, bit and strangled the child. According
50:36
Speaker 1: to the prosecutor's child ran from the house. Neighbors contacted
50:38
Speaker 1: emergency services prosecutors said the child was taken us in
50:41
Speaker 1: Saint Children's Hospital for treatment. Court records indicate Judge Allen
50:45
Speaker 1: Triggs ruled Napier would be given an own recognizance bond,
50:51
Speaker 1: in other words, not being held in jail at a monetary bond. However,
50:56
Speaker 1: she is scheduled for arrangement in March twenty seven that
50:59
Speaker 1: bond to change. What was that comment, Joe, who's the
51:05
Speaker 1: award for the judge of the person? That's a legitimate question,
51:10
Speaker 1: Connie Pilach, you haven't kind of prosecutor said, the allegations
51:12
Speaker 1: in this case are deeply disturbing and reflect a level
51:15
Speaker 1: of violence that no child should ever experienced. We will
51:17
Speaker 1: pursue these charges aggressively and seek accountability. I commend the
51:20
Speaker 1: neighbor who took action to protect the child. Napier for
51:24
Speaker 1: her part, if convicted on all charges, could spend up
51:28
Speaker 1: to fifteen years in prison. Jeez, about one hundred thousand
51:36
Speaker 1: Fred's fans going to be going downtown on the banks
51:38
Speaker 1: for the opening day festivities. Be ever vigilant. That's an
51:41
Speaker 1: interjection for me. Not alexis smarting. Reporting from Fox nineteen
51:44
Speaker 1: about security security which is reported will not be enforcing
51:49
Speaker 1: the typical curfew age requirement. Courted Tracy Schwegman, Fans under
51:55
Speaker 1: the age of twenty one will be allowed to hang
51:57
Speaker 1: out in the plaza of the banks for opening day.
52:00
Speaker 1: Banks Representative Shrugman says it's not realistic to impede the
52:03
Speaker 1: flow pedestrian traffick and assess the area where tens of
52:06
Speaker 1: thousands of people are going to be walking around. However,
52:08
Speaker 1: the bars will continue, of course, enforcing ID checks. In April,
52:13
Speaker 1: businesses at the banks took steps to implement an age
52:15
Speaker 1: requirement during the evenings and weekends through the safety concerns
52:18
Speaker 1: those times between ten pm and two am. That's the
52:22
Speaker 1: demilitarized zone that they put around the door. I think
52:26
Speaker 1: if people under the age of twenty one are going
52:27
Speaker 1: to going to and from the Reds game after opening Day,
52:30
Speaker 1: they're going to need to be a companied by someone
52:31
Speaker 1: twenty one and over. Banks continued his policy in November
52:35
Speaker 1: after the Board of Trustees of the bank's Community Authority
52:37
Speaker 1: approved an allocation of fifty thousand dollars from their reserves.
52:41
Speaker 1: In September, since a curfew does remain in place corning
52:45
Speaker 1: to Mali Lair with the city. She says nine pm
52:47
Speaker 1: curfew for unaccompanied minors in the special curfew district is
52:51
Speaker 1: in effect. That sounds like contradictory information for me. Let's
52:55
Speaker 1: go to the phone see what Stee's got. Steve, Welcome
52:57
Speaker 1: to the Morning Show. Thanks for calling in. Happy Friday
52:59
Speaker 1: Eve to you.
53:00
Speaker 13: You're one of your favorite days of the week, only
53:03
Speaker 13: surpassed by the actual Friday.
53:04
Speaker 1: I got that right, I got that right. See, my
53:07
Speaker 1: mood just changes. It's almost as magic. It's like a
53:10
Speaker 1: weight's lifted off my shoulders just with the mere mention
53:12
Speaker 1: of the word Friday.
53:13
Speaker 13: You know, and I know you're forced to be up
53:17
Speaker 13: to date on the news and everything, and we all,
53:19
Speaker 13: you know, we all have to watch what's going on
53:20
Speaker 13: to be aware of it and everything. But just to
53:23
Speaker 13: step back from that, what a wonderful time of year
53:26
Speaker 13: this is. I mean, it's my favorite time is when
53:28
Speaker 13: the grass is really turning green. It's got that really
53:31
Speaker 13: alive look to it, the trees are coming back and everything.
53:36
Speaker 13: And being the husband and not the wife, we've got
53:39
Speaker 13: a couple of tropical plants that we bring from the
53:42
Speaker 13: deck into the house to survive the winter time. Yeah,
53:47
Speaker 13: and any frost will kill them. I mean, you know,
53:50
Speaker 13: I mean, I've heard you got what twenty nine degrees
53:52
Speaker 13: you said Friday night or something. I've got to be
53:55
Speaker 13: careful about that. But being the husband, I insisted on
53:58
Speaker 13: bringing them all out onto the deck a couple of
54:01
Speaker 13: weeks ago, and I've been bringing them back and forth.
54:03
Speaker 13: So I should have listened to my wife. But you know,
54:07
Speaker 13: you know how that goes. Oh, if I can mention
54:11
Speaker 13: one other thing. I live in Independence and maybe about
54:15
Speaker 13: five times we've had people knock on our door for
54:18
Speaker 13: Thomas Massey and they're reps for him, and that's fine.
54:22
Speaker 13: But I actually had the other day a candidate for
54:27
Speaker 13: the Kentucky House of Representatives in this district himself come
54:33
Speaker 13: to our door and knock on it. Wow, and man,
54:37
Speaker 13: I really have And I told them this, I said,
54:40
Speaker 13: I really have to, you know, applaud you for as
54:44
Speaker 13: the candidate doing this. It's not easy to walk up
54:48
Speaker 13: and down the street and knock on doors. And I
54:51
Speaker 13: just thought, you know, I mean that just really I
54:54
Speaker 13: don't know about you. That impresses me to no end.
54:56
Speaker 13: Occasionally we've had City of Independence soule people knock on
55:01
Speaker 13: the door, but usually it's a REP on their behalf
55:03
Speaker 13: helping them out. But just really, you know, I had
55:06
Speaker 13: a nice conversation with the guy. I really did and
55:08
Speaker 13: applauded him, and I'll look into it, and you know,
55:12
Speaker 13: he's probably the one I'm going to vote for because
55:14
Speaker 13: I'm not too happy with my rep that we've got
55:18
Speaker 13: right now here.
55:18
Speaker 1: You go in there for you got to vote by
55:20
Speaker 1: doing a door to door knock yourself there. Yeah, that
55:22
Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, that means a lot. And I would
55:24
Speaker 1: be impressed if the Democrat knocked on my door or
55:26
Speaker 1: a Republican.
55:26
Speaker 2: If it's that absolutely absolutely.
55:28
Speaker 1: There will I would take the question. So yeah, Jay
55:34
Speaker 1: Ratliffe coming up eight thirty.
55:35
Speaker 2: Yes, I love it.
55:37
Speaker 13: He's fantastic every week.
55:38
Speaker 1: I'm glad you like it. Steve, I'm looking for it
55:40
Speaker 1: as well. You have a wonderful day. Mike's on the phone.
55:42
Speaker 1: Hang on, Mike, I get your call right out of
55:43
Speaker 1: the gate at six thirty six, right now, and I
55:45
Speaker 1: want to mention cross Country Mortgage at six forty one
55:49
Speaker 1: on a Thursday, Happy one to you. Coming up after
55:50
Speaker 1: top of the hour news Congressman Warren Davidson Lloyd, Don't
55:53
Speaker 1: we have a lot to talk about with him, and
55:54
Speaker 1: of course Senator Ran Paul at seven thirty five one
55:57
Speaker 1: three seven nine fifty five hundred eight hundred eight two
55:59
Speaker 1: three talking promise, Mike, thanks for holding over the breake.
56:01
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show.
56:03
Speaker 10: Hey, Brian, uh, real quick about their Uh? I guess
56:07
Speaker 10: they called a curfew for the during the end of
56:09
Speaker 10: the banks, I get to be accompanied by an adult during Yeah,
56:12
Speaker 10: they're pouring after the games. So if there's over fifty
56:17
Speaker 10: thousand fans that gonna be down there for this, they're
56:19
Speaker 10: not going to do it.
56:20
Speaker 1: Right.
56:21
Speaker 10: So if the Reds start doing really good and we
56:23
Speaker 10: start selling that every game, there's gonna go this out
56:25
Speaker 10: the window.
56:27
Speaker 1: I suppose one could reach that conclusion because the same
56:31
Speaker 1: issue I suppose would show up. Although since there's no
56:34
Speaker 1: opening day parade for all the other games, there are
56:36
Speaker 1: obviously going to be a lot fewer people down there,
56:38
Speaker 1: but a capacity crowd at a great American ballpark, yeah,
56:41
Speaker 1: might give rise to the same thing I mean they're
56:43
Speaker 1: not doing.
56:44
Speaker 10: They're han't really sold out a game, and how many
56:48
Speaker 10: step in the opening day right, secial?
56:50
Speaker 1: But maybe if a game is sold out, Yes, if
56:56
Speaker 1: the Reds do so well that they start selling out games.
56:58
Speaker 1: That's a big if, Mike, Well, we'll cross that bridge
57:02
Speaker 1: or they'll cross that bridge when we get to it,
57:03
Speaker 1: but it will be a comical thing to observe one
57:06
Speaker 1: way or another. Appreciate that speaking get a comical and
57:09
Speaker 1: last night's empower You sevenar from Tom hagget Or, who
57:11
Speaker 1: was on my show yesterday. You can listen to the
57:13
Speaker 1: podcast or go back to empower Youoamerica dot org and
57:15
Speaker 1: want and listen to what he had to say about
57:17
Speaker 1: the socialist efforts to change America, of course, predicated largely
57:21
Speaker 1: on their indoctrination of our young people in K through
57:23
Speaker 1: twelve education. Here's an illustration of this. So last Thursday,
57:28
Speaker 1: an eighteen year old loyal at University student Chicago, Sheridan Gorman,
57:34
Speaker 1: shot and killed near the campus. It was confirmed on
57:37
Speaker 1: Sunday the mass gunman who killed Gorman twenty five year
57:40
Speaker 1: old illegal alien from Venezuela and entered the United States
57:43
Speaker 1: and the Biden administration. Of course, police took him into custody.
57:48
Speaker 1: Loyal A campus newspaper, The Phoenix provided coverage for this.
57:53
Speaker 1: Initially in the accurate reporting they first let a released
57:59
Speaker 1: headline imigrant man charged in murder of Sheridan Gorman DHS involved.
58:04
Speaker 1: The original posts also referred to him in the body
58:06
Speaker 1: of the article reporting on it as an illegal immigrant.
58:09
Speaker 1: Factually accurate, it was, but they got backlash, of course
58:13
Speaker 1: they did. Student newspaper then edited the post to remove
58:16
Speaker 1: the term illegal immigrant and then issued an apology which
58:19
Speaker 1: was longer than the original reporting article. Now they refer
58:22
Speaker 1: to him as a Rogers Park resident. That's a neighborhood
58:26
Speaker 1: in Chicago where the Loyal main campus is located. Roger
58:29
Speaker 1: Park resident. Oh, that guy had nothing to do with
58:32
Speaker 1: illegal immigant. He should have been here in the first place.
58:35
Speaker 1: So here's the editor's note, talk about an illustration of
58:39
Speaker 1: woke reality. On March twenty, third day post on The
58:43
Speaker 1: Phoenix's Instagram page carried the following headline immigrant man charged
58:48
Speaker 1: in murder of Sheridan Gorman DHS involved. The headline didn't
58:54
Speaker 1: reflect the most important elements in the story, and it
58:59
Speaker 1: was taken down minutes later to prevent any further harm
59:02
Speaker 1: to affected community members. I had a pause on that one.
59:07
Speaker 1: Can I ask in what way, shape, or First off,
59:09
Speaker 1: who in the hell is an affected community member? In
59:13
Speaker 1: what way, shape, or form is reporting accurately, so that
59:15
Speaker 1: he was in the country illegally. How does that impact anybody?
59:22
Speaker 1: They're not arrested. They didn't murder someone, you know, I
59:26
Speaker 1: mean if somebody, if some white guy out there guns
59:29
Speaker 1: down someone else, Am I part of the affected community
59:32
Speaker 1: because I also happen to be white. No, I'm not
59:35
Speaker 1: impacted in any way, shape or form. This is just nonsense,
59:41
Speaker 1: they went on. Additionally, in the body of the original posts,
59:43
Speaker 1: we described a man who was charged as an illegal
59:46
Speaker 1: immigrant using language provided by the Department of Homeland Security.
59:49
Speaker 1: That language does not align with Associated Press style, nor
59:54
Speaker 1: does it align with the values of the newspaper. Since
59:56
Speaker 1: when does Associated press dictate what you report in any
59:58
Speaker 1: given newspaper? First me, I meant much and say whatever
1:00:02
Speaker 1: the hell you want. And since one is a newspaper,
1:00:04
Speaker 1: admit that it is not reporting all the facts or
1:00:06
Speaker 1: we know, maybe recharacterizing them. I think the American public
1:00:12
Speaker 1: clamors wants to know who's responsible for crime. Of course,
1:00:16
Speaker 1: it's big behind the reason for deportation. We have a
1:00:19
Speaker 1: lot of illegal immigrants, not all of them, but a
1:00:22
Speaker 1: lot of them commit crime. That's kind of the demarcation
1:00:25
Speaker 1: point for folks. Everybody wants illegal immigrants out of our
1:00:28
Speaker 1: country who are committing or have committed crimes. That's a
1:00:31
Speaker 1: no brain winning political issue. Kick out the bad guys.
1:00:41
Speaker 1: And it's important to look at where you get your information.
1:00:45
Speaker 1: Six forty six. It was kind of a point Daniel
1:00:47
Speaker 1: Davis made last time we talked to him on the
1:00:49
Speaker 1: talk station six fifty coming up with a six fifty
1:00:52
Speaker 1: one fifty five Kerr CD talk station, got a couple
1:00:54
Speaker 1: of callers online, and to go there before we get
1:00:56
Speaker 1: to the top of our news and Congressman Warren David
1:00:58
Speaker 1: said at seven oh five start with has been on
1:01:00
Speaker 1: the line longer, Todd, Welcome to the show. Thanks for
1:01:02
Speaker 1: calling today.
1:01:04
Speaker 6: Hey, good morning, Brian.
1:01:05
Speaker 2: Real quick.
1:01:06
Speaker 6: On that Loyola story, I think it's there's a little
1:01:10
Speaker 6: bit of a bigger issue there. Since when does the
1:01:14
Speaker 6: college newspaper cow tow and walk in perfect lockstep with
1:01:19
Speaker 6: the university administration. I mean, it's not that long ago.
1:01:25
Speaker 6: Well it's been a while since I've been in college,
1:01:27
Speaker 6: but I remember, you know, back late seventies, early eighties,
1:01:31
Speaker 6: you know, the student newspaper was quite often at odds
1:01:34
Speaker 6: with the administration, right and if they would and if
1:01:37
Speaker 6: they would have said you need to change that headline
1:01:41
Speaker 6: like your dad used to say, I got two words
1:01:43
Speaker 6: for you, and they ain't happy birthdays.
1:01:45
Speaker 1: And they should have reported on that. You know, after
1:01:47
Speaker 1: getting receiving pressure from the university, we are standing and
1:01:50
Speaker 1: sticking with our guns because the reporting was accurate. We
1:01:53
Speaker 1: will not be told how to report by anyone. That's
1:01:56
Speaker 1: the bright response. There you go, Todd.
1:01:58
Speaker 6: And if they were they objected to the term illegal alien,
1:02:04
Speaker 6: then you could say a criminal alien who is in
1:02:07
Speaker 6: the country illegally committed this crime, and then you don't
1:02:11
Speaker 6: need to put up with well, no person is illegal excuses.
1:02:17
Speaker 1: A person who is a resident of Venezuela came into
1:02:20
Speaker 1: our country in violation of America's border laws and stayed
1:02:24
Speaker 1: here without permission, killed somebody on a loyal of campus.
1:02:27
Speaker 1: There you go, appreciated Todd at observation. Yeah, you're right.
1:02:31
Speaker 1: Campus papers are supposed to go after the administration. I thought, Maureene,
1:02:34
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. I thought you were on an airplane, Maureene,
1:02:37
Speaker 1: good to hear from you.
1:02:38
Speaker 14: No, I was on my way to the airport. I'm
1:02:41
Speaker 14: going to give you a full report. But yeah, all
1:02:45
Speaker 14: the TSA engines showed up. It's great. I got through
1:02:48
Speaker 14: the line in three minutes and there was only one
1:02:51
Speaker 14: ICE agent but the rest were regular TSA. So things
1:02:54
Speaker 14: are looking good. But I am four hours before in
1:02:57
Speaker 14: my flight, so that might have something.
1:03:00
Speaker 1: So you heeded the warning and got there four hours
1:03:03
Speaker 1: ahead of time, only to find out that there is
1:03:05
Speaker 1: no delay. That's okay. Better safe than sorry, Mary, Right, yeah.
1:03:09
Speaker 14: Yeah, exactly. So it looks good, but it could because
1:03:12
Speaker 14: it's really so don't don't wait till last minute if
1:03:14
Speaker 14: you're traveling today.
1:03:15
Speaker 1: I've been to that and I'm sure that I heart me.
1:03:17
Speaker 1: The aviation for j. RATLFF will double down on that
1:03:19
Speaker 1: recommendation when he saw at eight thirty morene no conspiracy
1:03:23
Speaker 1: theories or patterns observations this morning, Marine.
1:03:26
Speaker 3: Actually I do.
1:03:27
Speaker 14: Have one, and this one's before it actually happens. I
1:03:30
Speaker 14: think what's going to happen is we're going to see
1:03:32
Speaker 14: TSA and or not TSA, but ICE and National Guard
1:03:38
Speaker 14: at the polling stations in the midterms.
1:03:41
Speaker 1: Well that's my prediction, all right.
1:03:43
Speaker 14: I think this is to normalize us to it, and
1:03:45
Speaker 14: it's okay, So whatever it takes.
1:03:48
Speaker 1: Well, I just hope it's not the last step before
1:03:51
Speaker 1: martial law is declared or something along those lines. Mareene,
1:03:55
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I know you do. Anyway,
1:04:00
Speaker 1: do you think the Iranians are calling Donald Trump's bluff?
1:04:03
Speaker 1: He's been putting more and more troops over in the
1:04:06
Speaker 1: in the region, thousands of additional soldiers. House speaker Carolyn
1:04:11
Speaker 1: Levitt yesterday saying Iran shannams calculate again senior leadership, their navy,
1:04:18
Speaker 1: their air force, and their air defense system, pointing out
1:04:20
Speaker 1: that they well are not there anymore. If they fail
1:04:23
Speaker 1: to understand that they have been defeated militarily and will
1:04:26
Speaker 1: continue to be. She said, President Trump will ensure that
1:04:29
Speaker 1: they are hit harder than they have ever been hit before.
1:04:33
Speaker 1: President Trump does not bluff, and he's prepared to unleash hell. Well,
1:04:38
Speaker 1: I seems to me I have heard statements to that
1:04:40
Speaker 1: effect before, only for them to be, you know, to
1:04:42
Speaker 1: back off. American public is not in for a ground
1:04:45
Speaker 1: troop invasion of Iran, and the complications associated with that
1:04:49
Speaker 1: are profound. But since the Iranians obviously have intelligence and
1:04:56
Speaker 1: to some degree, you know, and they know how this
1:05:00
Speaker 1: war has complicated Donald Trump's efforts as he moves into November.
1:05:04
Speaker 1: It's had an inflationary impact on all Americans. The price
1:05:07
Speaker 1: gasoline obviously has gone up substantially in a moment's time.
1:05:10
Speaker 1: That's going to have a profound ripple effect on food prices.
1:05:13
Speaker 1: So this whole affordability thing is going to be compounded
1:05:15
Speaker 1: as we move toward November. A resolution of the war
1:05:18
Speaker 1: would probably solve some of those problems for Donald Trump.
1:05:21
Speaker 1: So of course he wants a quick resolution in his favor.
1:05:24
Speaker 1: But if the Iranians realize this and know they've kind
1:05:26
Speaker 1: of got Donald Trump backed into the wall, and of
1:05:28
Speaker 1: course they're willing to sacrifice their own army and their
1:05:30
Speaker 1: own population, I can see him doing it just for
1:05:37
Speaker 1: the sake of doing it. Six point fifty five. We'll
1:05:39
Speaker 1: see what Congressman Warren Davidson has on that theory, among
1:05:42
Speaker 1: other things. After the top of the air news fall
1:05:43
Speaker 1: by Seat seven oh five at fifty five Krosit Talk Station.
1:05:47
Speaker 1: I'm very happy Friday, EPA, Happy Opening Day, Go Reds.
1:05:51
Speaker 1: Be careful down there for the opening day parade in
1:05:53
Speaker 1: the game. Welcome back to the fifty five Cassee Morning Show,
1:05:55
Speaker 1: Congressman Warren Davidson. Great to have you on on the
1:05:57
Speaker 1: program here this opening day. Congressman Davidson walk, I'm.
1:06:00
Speaker 5: Back, so he's an honor to join you.
1:06:02
Speaker 1: Thanks, Brian, Appreciate everything you do, sir, Appreciate the time
1:06:05
Speaker 1: he said with my listeners and me. And can you
1:06:07
Speaker 1: answer the question the government is still shut down last
1:06:10
Speaker 1: time I checked, Congressman Davidson. Of course, my friend Maureen
1:06:12
Speaker 1: didn't have to deal with the line in Florida for
1:06:15
Speaker 1: her airplane, but that's not always the case. Some lines
1:06:17
Speaker 1: four and a half hours long. That's obviously a lot
1:06:19
Speaker 1: of pain, people missing flights. It's a security problem I've heard.
1:06:22
Speaker 1: And you might comment on that though, but I guess
1:06:26
Speaker 1: me first, just ask the question, do you even know
1:06:29
Speaker 1: what it is that the Democrats want? Because last time
1:06:32
Speaker 1: I checked, ICE is fully funded for several years under
1:06:36
Speaker 1: the One Big Beautiful Bill, so they're going to continue
1:06:38
Speaker 1: to do their work. This is all about what practices
1:06:41
Speaker 1: on the ground dealing with the removal of illegal immigrants
1:06:46
Speaker 1: subject to a detention order.
1:06:47
Speaker 5: Congressman Davidson, Yeah, I mean, lineamentally, they're trying to leverage
1:06:53
Speaker 5: funding for Homeland security. So obviously not the whole governor
1:06:56
Speaker 5: shut down, but everyone at Homeland Security is working without
1:06:59
Speaker 5: a pay check or they're not at work, and you know,
1:07:02
Speaker 5: obviously that has big implications for day to day things.
1:07:05
Speaker 5: But the thing that is easiest to see is the TSA.
1:07:09
Speaker 5: I mean, I was I was down. I was asked
1:07:11
Speaker 5: to speak on a panel down it south by Southwest
1:07:13
Speaker 5: in Austin, Texas about two weeks ago, I guess, And yeah,
1:07:17
Speaker 5: we got there before six in the morning to leave
1:07:21
Speaker 5: for a flight, and the line was wrapped all through
1:07:24
Speaker 5: the building on the inside, out the door down the
1:07:27
Speaker 5: building on the outside. I mean, it was crazy. And
1:07:30
Speaker 5: this is this is one hundred percent fixable if they
1:07:34
Speaker 5: just say, okay, we want to fund ICE. We want
1:07:38
Speaker 5: to fund the all of homeland security. And then they
1:07:41
Speaker 5: even said, well we funded except without ICE, and so
1:07:45
Speaker 5: they said fine, and then they realized, oh wait, they'll
1:07:48
Speaker 5: still have all the ICE. They said, okay, we'll fund it.
1:07:51
Speaker 5: And even though we funded with no funding for ICE,
1:07:54
Speaker 5: we want conditions on the money going to ICE. And
1:07:57
Speaker 5: you're like, well, like, there's no money going to ice
1:08:00
Speaker 5: your plan, Well, okay, but you still have to do
1:08:03
Speaker 5: these things to ICE. So really what they want to
1:08:05
Speaker 5: do is say, as long as you stop deporting the
1:08:08
Speaker 5: millions of people that we brought into the country illegally,
1:08:11
Speaker 5: then we'll pay the people that our work today, which
1:08:14
Speaker 5: is just offensive. So there's a bunch of us that
1:08:16
Speaker 5: have tried to pass this shutdown Fairness Actor. On Ron
1:08:20
Speaker 5: Johnson Center from Wisconsin introduced it, and it's just common sense.
1:08:25
Speaker 5: It's like, if you're essential enough to be at work,
1:08:27
Speaker 5: the payroll clerk is essential enough to pay you this week.
1:08:31
Speaker 5: You know, in the private sector, if you had people
1:08:32
Speaker 5: showing up the work and you don't pay them, that's
1:08:35
Speaker 5: payroll theft. I mean, you can go to jail for that.
1:08:37
Speaker 5: So it is just wrong what they're doing by having
1:08:40
Speaker 5: everybody get at work, and they need to be at work.
1:08:43
Speaker 5: It is really important. But if the government should be funded,
1:08:46
Speaker 5: I mean, granted I would fund way less government. I'd
1:08:49
Speaker 5: be happy with the major cuts in a lot of areas,
1:08:52
Speaker 5: but not to securing our border and undoing this invasion.
1:08:55
Speaker 5: So that is the crux of what they're trying to
1:08:57
Speaker 5: preserve is the total ignoring of our law to flood
1:09:02
Speaker 5: the country with illegals.
1:09:04
Speaker 1: Well, you mentioned things they want, it's things they want
1:09:07
Speaker 1: from ice agents. Generally speaking, I suppose that they admitted
1:09:10
Speaker 1: and said the real part out loud to be we
1:09:12
Speaker 1: don't want anybody deported, period, end of the story. But
1:09:14
Speaker 1: no one's going to capitulate to that, and that's not
1:09:16
Speaker 1: a popular thing among their own constituents. So my understanding
1:09:20
Speaker 1: of the way this is unfolded the Trump administration and
1:09:23
Speaker 1: most people generally accept it. Fine, ICE wearing cameras, that's
1:09:27
Speaker 1: actually a good thing for the agents themselves. We'll do
1:09:29
Speaker 1: with that and other maybe conceding even on the judicial
1:09:33
Speaker 1: warr component. If you're going to kick in a somebody's
1:09:35
Speaker 1: front door at their home, I certainly can appreciate the
1:09:38
Speaker 1: argument that the Fourth Amendment still applies, But so okay,
1:09:40
Speaker 1: we'll get judicial warrns for those we need to go
1:09:42
Speaker 1: into homes to get. But we can still pick them
1:09:44
Speaker 1: up if they're on the street, hanging out, maybe going
1:09:46
Speaker 1: over to vote, or maybe even going into the airport
1:09:49
Speaker 1: to get a flight. All those are open game, and
1:09:51
Speaker 1: we'll go ahead and just get people that way. But
1:09:53
Speaker 1: the Republicans at least have conceded some of the points
1:09:56
Speaker 1: and are willing to make some changes to ICE's enforcement efforts.
1:09:59
Speaker 1: But what more do they want? What is the big
1:10:02
Speaker 1: hold out here?
1:10:04
Speaker 5: Well, I was talking with a few Senators last night.
1:10:08
Speaker 5: The Senator Rick Scott hosts a regular gathering of concertos
1:10:12
Speaker 5: in the House and Senate we're meeting last night, and
1:10:15
Speaker 5: I guess, you know, late in the day yesterday, Senator
1:10:19
Speaker 5: Schumer finally put his list of demands in writing. I
1:10:22
Speaker 5: don't think they've made that list public, but they at
1:10:25
Speaker 5: least have something on paper to negotiate over, you know,
1:10:29
Speaker 5: this time to see where it is. But you know,
1:10:32
Speaker 5: some of what you're talking about, Yeah, they've been very
1:10:34
Speaker 5: public and saying we want no masks on ICE agents.
1:10:39
Speaker 5: And you know, the reality is is they've got a
1:10:41
Speaker 5: very organized effort, particularly in sanctuary cities where ICE would
1:10:46
Speaker 5: do the work to you know, so not just a
1:10:49
Speaker 5: place where we don't we're welcoming. They're not talking about that.
1:10:53
Speaker 5: They've they've actually said we're going to actively work to
1:10:57
Speaker 5: you know, keep you safe from federal and horsemen. It's
1:11:01
Speaker 5: open rebellion against the federal government in these cities because
1:11:05
Speaker 5: they're saying, no, we will decide who who determines the
1:11:09
Speaker 5: lawful presence of foreign nationals in our country.
1:11:15
Speaker 1: It's federal law, Congressman Davids, federal law. It has to
1:11:19
Speaker 1: be supremacy clause.
1:11:20
Speaker 5: Every city in the country deciding I know who's lawfully
1:11:24
Speaker 5: present or not, and that's it is open rebellion. I
1:11:28
Speaker 5: mean he cannot tolerate that and remain a sovereign country.
1:11:31
Speaker 1: No, you can't. I mean that it's a supremacy clause.
1:11:35
Speaker 1: I don't. Well, you choose to ignore the Constitution. In
1:11:38
Speaker 1: the realities, it is going to be a tragic tragic things.
1:11:40
Speaker 1: But you know that the Trump administration sort of backed
1:11:42
Speaker 1: off on the real, solid, hard nose, let's kick everybody
1:11:45
Speaker 1: out approach they were taking. That led to all these protests. Honestly,
1:11:48
Speaker 1: Congressman Davidson and I may miss something because there's a
1:11:50
Speaker 1: lot of news in the world, but I haven't seen
1:11:52
Speaker 1: the sort of concerted out in the streets angry protesters
1:11:56
Speaker 1: going after ICE of late ever since the two Americans
1:11:59
Speaker 1: got who were in fact protesting and causing some disruptions there.
1:12:03
Speaker 1: And that will resolve itself down the road. I personally
1:12:05
Speaker 1: don't think that was appropriate action on part of ICE agents,
1:12:08
Speaker 1: but you know, the cooler heads will prevail and that'll
1:12:11
Speaker 1: be resolved presumably in litigation. But the tactics generally seem
1:12:15
Speaker 1: to have mellowed. I think the administration seems to have
1:12:17
Speaker 1: gotten the message that listen, America is a little uncomfortable
1:12:22
Speaker 1: with these very draconian tactics. Just go after the hardcore
1:12:25
Speaker 1: bad guys and we're all going to be happy. Am
1:12:27
Speaker 1: I right on that? Congressman?
1:12:30
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I think that's true, and that's not necessarily
1:12:35
Speaker 5: uniformly supported. I mean, the message is there's no sanctuary, right.
1:12:39
Speaker 5: It can't just be oh well. I mean when they
1:12:43
Speaker 5: say we're going after the criminal illegal aliens, the average
1:12:45
Speaker 5: person thinks, well, that would be all of them, because
1:12:48
Speaker 5: if you're an illegal alien, you're a criminal. You've broken
1:12:52
Speaker 5: the law to be in the country. And I will say, yes,
1:12:56
Speaker 5: the priority should be the people that you know didn't
1:12:59
Speaker 5: come here to work, right, So there should be ways
1:13:03
Speaker 5: to hunt those folks down and deport them. And you know,
1:13:07
Speaker 5: there's a saying in law enforcement ask tell make right.
1:13:11
Speaker 5: They've been asked to leave. They've even been incentivized to leave.
1:13:14
Speaker 5: There's like a twenty six hundred dollars payment plus your
1:13:17
Speaker 5: travel to leave. You know you're here illegally. You've been
1:13:20
Speaker 5: asked to leave, so please leave. You've been told to leave,
1:13:24
Speaker 5: and that was really the point of the election. The
1:13:29
Speaker 5: country told you, if you're here illegally, it's time for
1:13:31
Speaker 5: you to go, and Ice and everyone else has made
1:13:35
Speaker 5: it very clear you need to leave. And then periodically, yeah,
1:13:39
Speaker 5: you're going to find these people and you're going to
1:13:41
Speaker 5: make them leave. That is not a mean thing. You've
1:13:46
Speaker 5: asked them, you've told them, and now the only thing
1:13:49
Speaker 5: is to make them And the reality is you could
1:13:52
Speaker 5: have some rational dialogue about well, what are we going
1:13:55
Speaker 5: to do about the people that you know are here
1:13:59
Speaker 5: to be productive members of society. They're not, you know,
1:14:04
Speaker 5: committing welfare fraud, they're not flooding the country with just
1:14:09
Speaker 5: you know, an effort to undermine our culture. They want
1:14:12
Speaker 5: to come here for the opportunity. Great, you should have
1:14:15
Speaker 5: come legally. Let's figure out how we deal with that.
1:14:18
Speaker 5: But we're not talking about that. I mean, Democrats don't
1:14:20
Speaker 5: want to talk about anything except blanket amnesty. There are
1:14:23
Speaker 5: no illegal people, and they want to perfect the system.
1:14:27
Speaker 5: And here's the next thing, you know, they don't want
1:14:30
Speaker 5: to They say, oh, well it's already illegal for non
1:14:34
Speaker 5: citizens to vote, so it doesn't happen. Well, I don't
1:14:38
Speaker 5: know how many things are illegal that do happen, right,
1:14:41
Speaker 5: And the way that you find out is there's a
1:14:43
Speaker 5: detection method. So you don't have a detection method right now,
1:14:47
Speaker 5: so they say, oh, it doesn't occur, No, it doesn't
1:14:49
Speaker 5: get detected. And so you know, they've subpoenaed all of
1:14:54
Speaker 5: the voter registration files from states. Guess what, the loose states,
1:15:00
Speaker 5: the sanctuary states have not complied. Yeah, even in red
1:15:05
Speaker 5: straight states. They've found that there are illegals that have
1:15:08
Speaker 5: been registered to vote. And part of why is you
1:15:11
Speaker 5: go do motor voter and they just register everybody. They
1:15:13
Speaker 5: don't screen it at the Bureau Motor Vehicles. It goes
1:15:17
Speaker 5: in and then it's up to the Secretary of State
1:15:19
Speaker 5: to screen it. Well, in places like Ohio we do that,
1:15:22
Speaker 5: but in places like Illinois and New Jersey, California, et cetera,
1:15:26
Speaker 5: they don't. And so what's the means of purging them?
1:15:30
Speaker 5: If you don't purge them, how do you know whether
1:15:33
Speaker 5: they vote or not, especially when you don't have voter ID.
1:15:36
Speaker 5: So you can't even tell in a state with no voter,
1:15:38
Speaker 5: I d who voted, you know, So I don't know
1:15:41
Speaker 5: how you can say you have an honest election. And
1:15:43
Speaker 5: this is where these two things come to a head
1:15:46
Speaker 5: in the Senate and they've all passed the House. I
1:15:48
Speaker 5: mean they're like, well, what are you guys doing in
1:15:50
Speaker 5: the House, Like, well, we're going to vote again this
1:15:52
Speaker 5: week for like the third or fourth time, I don't
1:15:55
Speaker 5: know how many times we've voted to fund homeland security
1:16:00
Speaker 5: to keep proving we can, and then we're going to
1:16:04
Speaker 5: look over there at the Senate going what are you
1:16:05
Speaker 5: guys do? And I think they've finally gotten the message.
1:16:09
Speaker 5: They worked through the weekend last weekend, and I think
1:16:11
Speaker 5: they're going to continue to work into this, you know,
1:16:14
Speaker 5: Easter break, you know, and in general back home. You know,
1:16:18
Speaker 5: we'll meet with some people this next week when I'm
1:16:21
Speaker 5: back in Ohio, but as things go closer to Eastern
1:16:24
Speaker 5: nobody wants to meet. They want to sit together with
1:16:26
Speaker 5: their own families and stuff. Right, Well, Soda, members of Congress,
1:16:29
Speaker 5: So to the senators.
1:16:31
Speaker 1: But if they.
1:16:31
Speaker 5: Haven't done this, I hope they do their duty and
1:16:33
Speaker 5: stick around and exact job done.
1:16:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, no sympathy for them complaining about missing out on
1:16:38
Speaker 1: Easter when they can't get this job done. I agree
1:16:40
Speaker 1: with you completely on that. We'll pause, We'll bring Congressman
1:16:42
Speaker 1: Warre and Davidson back and we'll get some insight into
1:16:45
Speaker 1: the station. It is seven twenty fififty bock Karcity TALKX Sation,
1:16:50
Speaker 1: briand Times. The Congressman Warren Davidson, who war America's uniform
1:16:54
Speaker 1: served as country proudly in the American Armed Forces. Congressman Davidson,
1:16:57
Speaker 1: thank you for that, but also your perception about troop deployment.
1:17:00
Speaker 1: Donald Trump putting more and more troops in the area.
1:17:03
Speaker 1: Not deployed on the ground yet, but it suggests that
1:17:05
Speaker 1: maybe that's the next step. Iran still not playing ball.
1:17:08
Speaker 1: According to Press TV, the Running TV, they rejected the
1:17:12
Speaker 1: fifteen point plan. They came up with five conditions of
1:17:14
Speaker 1: their own, which seemed like a large and ridiculous ask themselves,
1:17:18
Speaker 1: where are we on this am A part of me
1:17:20
Speaker 1: wants to say that the Iranians are maybe trying to
1:17:23
Speaker 1: call President Trump's bluff and maybe get him to deploy
1:17:26
Speaker 1: ground forces. Do they take into account the political landscape
1:17:30
Speaker 1: here in America, because that's not a popular thing here
1:17:32
Speaker 1: in the United States.
1:17:33
Speaker 5: Congressman Davidson, Yeah, I mean they've got a sophisticated system
1:17:39
Speaker 5: for intel. I think they are aware of America American culture,
1:17:43
Speaker 5: and they frankly they engage in and in Internet based
1:17:48
Speaker 5: information wars as well. So you know, Iran's not you know,
1:17:53
Speaker 5: the Taliban in the hills of Afghanistan. They're a much
1:17:56
Speaker 5: more sophisticated adversary. Nevertheless, you know, the war in the
1:18:01
Speaker 5: sense of the goals that the President Trump, I'd say
1:18:05
Speaker 5: it really Marco Rubio. President Trump stated like a lot
1:18:08
Speaker 5: of variations on goals, but you know, Secretury State Rubio
1:18:12
Speaker 5: laid out three things that they wanted to accomplish when
1:18:16
Speaker 5: they started. This is eliminate the missile threat from Iran
1:18:20
Speaker 5: and the missile production capability, eliminate the navy and UH
1:18:26
Speaker 5: and then cut off the ability for Iran to keep
1:18:30
Speaker 5: funding their proxies. And so they've really done a lot
1:18:34
Speaker 5: of They've had a major effect on those three goals.
1:18:38
Speaker 5: So but of course they've also stated lots of other goals,
1:18:43
Speaker 5: I mean, and part of that is, UH, you know,
1:18:46
Speaker 5: to create a whole information war there too, and to escalate,
1:18:50
Speaker 5: you know, to drive negotiations. But it's also even within
1:18:56
Speaker 5: our own country. So what exactly is our mission there?
1:18:59
Speaker 5: What are we trying to do? What are we still
1:19:01
Speaker 5: trying to do, and so it's created a lot of uncertainty.
1:19:04
Speaker 5: It's supposed to create uncertainty for Iran, but you know,
1:19:08
Speaker 5: that's the real question for a lot of folks. We
1:19:10
Speaker 5: are sending ground troops over that way, people that could
1:19:14
Speaker 5: could enter the ground, and then you know, we just
1:19:17
Speaker 5: you know, my continual thing when I look at Lindsey
1:19:21
Speaker 5: Graham as well, I hope President Trump isn't listening to him.
1:19:25
Speaker 5: But that's that's unlimited. You know, if President Trump was
1:19:29
Speaker 5: listening less to Lindsay Graham, I'm not sure we would
1:19:31
Speaker 5: even be at war in Iran right now. Containment has worked.
1:19:35
Speaker 5: I believe containment could have continued to work. And frankly,
1:19:38
Speaker 5: Iran is vulnerable. Their only real source of revenue is oil,
1:19:43
Speaker 5: and you don't have to control the straight Offoor moves
1:19:46
Speaker 5: to control Iran's oil. We have a navy big enough
1:19:48
Speaker 5: that you can just sit down at the mouth of
1:19:50
Speaker 5: that gulf there and catch every Iranian flagship you want
1:19:55
Speaker 5: to catch with our navy.
1:19:57
Speaker 1: That that would go a long way toward interrupting the
1:19:59
Speaker 1: proxy fund.
1:20:00
Speaker 5: Don't you think it would go a long way to
1:20:02
Speaker 5: controlling everything about Iran? All right? So you could have
1:20:06
Speaker 5: done that with you know, not as many highlight reels
1:20:09
Speaker 5: with the bombings and everything, but the leverage would have
1:20:12
Speaker 5: been there, and maximum pressure worked very well the first
1:20:15
Speaker 5: first Trump administration by not even doing that, by choking
1:20:19
Speaker 5: off you know, the market for them, but you know,
1:20:22
Speaker 5: China's soaked up a lot of that market, and that's
1:20:24
Speaker 5: one of the things that has been going China's payment
1:20:28
Speaker 5: for oil and Chinese money r and bu Wan their
1:20:33
Speaker 5: their payment. Undermining the dollar is one of the things
1:20:38
Speaker 5: that is really at play in this you know, military
1:20:42
Speaker 5: operation here, and it's it's to counter China's influence in
1:20:46
Speaker 5: the region and to cut off Iran slow of cash
1:20:49
Speaker 5: because even if a lot of the other people were
1:20:51
Speaker 5: cooperative and most of the Europeans aren't, frankly, then you know,
1:20:57
Speaker 5: that makes the sanctions regime hard to do. Ian is
1:21:00
Speaker 5: pouring enough cash in there alone that it kind of
1:21:02
Speaker 5: props up the government of Iran. So that's where maybe
1:21:07
Speaker 5: a navy blockade would have worked and could still work,
1:21:10
Speaker 5: so you don't necessarily have to control every ship out
1:21:13
Speaker 5: of there. But without a normal flow of oil coming
1:21:16
Speaker 5: out of that, you know, you waterway, you're going to
1:21:22
Speaker 5: continue to have major disruptions in the oil and energy.
1:21:25
Speaker 1: Markets well, and a lot of countries waking up to
1:21:27
Speaker 1: the reality that their dream of green aspirations is going
1:21:30
Speaker 1: to kill them economically if they don't have a backup
1:21:33
Speaker 1: plan to deal with interruptions which are logical and reasonable
1:21:36
Speaker 1: to conclude as a consequence of any sort of military
1:21:39
Speaker 1: activity going on. Through that read and straight hohorror moves, boy,
1:21:41
Speaker 1: we've all learned a lot about that one. Congressman Warren Davidson,
1:21:44
Speaker 1: thank you so much for your time today, spending it
1:21:45
Speaker 1: with my listeners and me appreciate it. I hope you
1:21:47
Speaker 1: have a wonderful opening day and I look forward to
1:21:49
Speaker 1: having back on the show very soon.
1:21:51
Speaker 5: Sir, Yeah, thanks Brian, always an honor. God bless you
1:21:54
Speaker 5: and all your listeners.
1:21:56
Speaker 1: Senator Rand Paul. Next, he'll talk about ron as well
1:21:58
Speaker 1: as the Penny Plan, which I really like. Paul's Penny
1:22:01
Speaker 1: Plan seven twenty seven. Right now for you, PARS Talk Station,
1:22:06
Speaker 1: it's seven thirty one to fifty five KRCD Talk Station.
1:22:09
Speaker 1: Happy Tuesday, opening day and always a great day when
1:22:12
Speaker 1: Senator Ran Paul returns to the fifty five krc Morning Show.
1:22:15
Speaker 1: Welcome back, Senator Paul's a distinct pleasure to have you
1:22:17
Speaker 1: on the program.
1:22:18
Speaker 3: Good morning, Brian, thanks for having me.
1:22:20
Speaker 1: More troops going to the region anyway, not necessarily going
1:22:25
Speaker 1: to be deployed yet, but it's a threat to the
1:22:27
Speaker 1: Iranians to negotiate. They don't seem to want to negotiate,
1:22:29
Speaker 1: and part of me, Senator Paul, thinks that maybe the
1:22:31
Speaker 1: Iranians realize the political landscape you're here in the United
1:22:34
Speaker 1: States and maybe trying to call Donald Trump's bluff and
1:22:36
Speaker 1: get him to commit drowned groups or ground troops in
1:22:38
Speaker 1: spite of the fact that might harm them. But I
1:22:41
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm way out in left field on
1:22:43
Speaker 1: that one, but certainly the war rages on and we
1:22:45
Speaker 1: don't see any light at least I don't between both
1:22:48
Speaker 1: sides in terms of negotiating a resolution. Where are we
1:22:50
Speaker 1: on this, Senator ran Paul.
1:22:53
Speaker 3: You know one reason they might not want to negotiate
1:22:55
Speaker 3: is last summer, while they were negotiating if we bomb
1:22:59
Speaker 3: their nuclear facility. This time they were negotiating in Oman,
1:23:03
Speaker 3: and we you know, unleashed this Operation Fury and all
1:23:07
Speaker 3: the bombs. So I guess the last two times they've
1:23:10
Speaker 3: negotiated with us. The negotiations didn't really seem to be
1:23:14
Speaker 3: in earnest or honest negotiations, and I think they may
1:23:18
Speaker 3: feel that they were tricked at the time to letting
1:23:20
Speaker 3: down their guard. They also really are probably desperate. You know,
1:23:24
Speaker 3: most of their command has been removed, their supreme leaders
1:23:27
Speaker 3: been removed, so I don't know that they feel like
1:23:30
Speaker 3: they'll get honest negotiation, and I think they're just regrouping
1:23:34
Speaker 3: and thinking their best chance is hand to hand combat.
1:23:37
Speaker 3: And this is sort of people have called this the
1:23:41
Speaker 3: escalation trap, the idea that we have such great weapons,
1:23:44
Speaker 3: which we do. They're smart bombs, precision, we can plant them,
1:23:48
Speaker 3: you know, in a ten foot radius anywhere in the world,
1:23:51
Speaker 3: and so we have superiority everywhere. But people think that
1:23:55
Speaker 3: that means that people on the receiving end will ultimately
1:23:59
Speaker 3: just surrender, and they might. That would be great if
1:24:02
Speaker 3: that happened, But also sometimes what happens is nationalism arises
1:24:07
Speaker 3: and the people actually come together, even the people who
1:24:09
Speaker 3: hate their own regime come together and begin to hate
1:24:12
Speaker 3: the collateral damage of all the bombing.
1:24:16
Speaker 1: Well, and I can certainly see them going down that
1:24:18
Speaker 1: road center to Paul the geographical realities are really perilous
1:24:22
Speaker 1: for ground troop operations. There the size of the country
1:24:25
Speaker 1: two point four times the state of Texas, and they've
1:24:28
Speaker 1: had a long time to you know, entrench themselves. You know,
1:24:30
Speaker 1: I think about, you know, the invasion of the small
1:24:32
Speaker 1: little islands when the United States Marines moved in towards Japan,
1:24:36
Speaker 1: and how you know, in trench they were, and how
1:24:39
Speaker 1: long it took men to you know, to overcome the forces. Hey,
1:24:42
Speaker 1: that's basically Iran, is it?
1:24:43
Speaker 7: Not?
1:24:45
Speaker 2: Well?
1:24:45
Speaker 3: And you know, Lindsey Graham has gleefully said, well, there
1:24:48
Speaker 3: was Eva Gemo, we need another Eva Gema conveniently sort
1:24:51
Speaker 3: of forgets that, like over twenty thousand Americans died on
1:24:54
Speaker 3: the island of Eva Gema was it was hell, and
1:24:57
Speaker 3: they did it for their country. But anybody who wishes that,
1:25:00
Speaker 3: or anybody who says, well, gosh, we're gonna make a
1:25:03
Speaker 3: lot of money off this war, I think that's just
1:25:05
Speaker 3: reprehensible and really those kind of people shouldn't be listened to.
1:25:09
Speaker 2: Look, I know people.
1:25:10
Speaker 3: Who will fight this war personally. I know good friends
1:25:13
Speaker 3: of mine's kids who will go to fight this war
1:25:15
Speaker 3: and may well, as far as I know, have already
1:25:18
Speaker 3: been over there, but I don't want I don't want
1:25:20
Speaker 3: the war to go on. I want the war to end,
1:25:22
Speaker 3: and I wanted to end as soon as possible. So
1:25:25
Speaker 3: we'll we'll see what happens. I continue to be a
1:25:27
Speaker 3: voice to say this isn't in our national interest and
1:25:30
Speaker 3: I don't think it furthers. I think it makes our
1:25:33
Speaker 3: country poor, not richer. I think it makes us as
1:25:36
Speaker 3: a country more vulnerable as we increase our debt. So
1:25:39
Speaker 3: I hope it's over sooner than later. The only thing
1:25:42
Speaker 3: I have to say about the troops so far, as
1:25:43
Speaker 3: there's about five thousand marines that the pub the press
1:25:47
Speaker 3: has reported over there, I don't think that's enough to
1:25:51
Speaker 3: really invade a country with. You know when we went
1:25:54
Speaker 3: into Iraq, you know when they went Iraq attack Kuwait.
1:25:57
Speaker 3: I think we've probably one hundred thousand troops over there,
1:26:00
Speaker 3: so usually when we go in, we go and it
1:26:02
Speaker 3: was overwhelming force. Now Venezuela was a one off, I think,
1:26:05
Speaker 3: and that they went in with two or three hundred
1:26:07
Speaker 3: people in a very precision raid to get one person
1:26:10
Speaker 3: and leave. I don't know that that is really in
1:26:13
Speaker 3: the office for Iran. I think they'd want to do
1:26:16
Speaker 3: something like you know, this is a guess. I haven't
1:26:19
Speaker 3: had any briefings on this, but I guess that if
1:26:21
Speaker 3: you want to go in and control the straits of Hermose,
1:26:23
Speaker 3: I don't think you do that with a lot a
1:26:24
Speaker 3: thousand soldiers. I think the whole country would be up
1:26:27
Speaker 3: in arms. I think it wouldn't be as easy as
1:26:30
Speaker 3: people think.
1:26:31
Speaker 1: And my understanding is some suggest that card Island, that
1:26:34
Speaker 1: massive export terminal for Iran, might be taken over by
1:26:39
Speaker 1: the Marines. That represents some serious logistical challenges, and of
1:26:42
Speaker 1: course it will be easier to just make a blockade
1:26:44
Speaker 1: and blockade the Iranian oil tankers from getting out of
1:26:47
Speaker 1: the area. That's it seems to be an easier solution.
1:26:51
Speaker 1: Can I pivot over? Because I know what you were
1:26:52
Speaker 1: one of the ones that actually looks at the Constitution
1:26:54
Speaker 1: of believes there's some that need to get congressional approval.
1:26:57
Speaker 1: There's been no declaration of war, there's been no authors
1:27:00
Speaker 1: of use of military force, which seems to me suggest
1:27:02
Speaker 1: we're in warpowers resolution territory. But is the sixty days
1:27:05
Speaker 1: lash ninety day clock ticking on that Some are arguing
1:27:09
Speaker 1: that that hasn't even been implicated because there was no
1:27:11
Speaker 1: imminent threat, which is the justification for launching the action
1:27:14
Speaker 1: of the first place, Senator Paul exactly.
1:27:18
Speaker 3: So the Constitution takes precedents, it's the first thing, and
1:27:21
Speaker 3: it says that the power to declare or initiate war
1:27:25
Speaker 3: lives with Congress. They haven't done that. The war powers
1:27:28
Speaker 3: out come in and says, all right, there are three
1:27:31
Speaker 3: different ways you can go to war legally, a declaration
1:27:34
Speaker 3: by Congress, a use of authorization of force which is
1:27:37
Speaker 3: similar vote by Congress, or an eminent threat. So really
1:27:42
Speaker 3: the only way you can legally invade a country without
1:27:45
Speaker 3: Congress hoting on it is to say it's an imminent threat.
1:27:48
Speaker 3: The problem with that argument is they say, well, yes,
1:27:51
Speaker 3: a Ram started this war forty seven years ago, and
1:27:54
Speaker 3: I guess once you say forty seven years, it doesn't
1:27:56
Speaker 3: sound that imminent. You know, if they really had been
1:27:59
Speaker 3: at war with us for four seven years, I would
1:28:00
Speaker 3: think another twelve hours to call Congress in and have
1:28:04
Speaker 3: them vote would not be delaying the imminence of this.
1:28:09
Speaker 3: Some have said, as Mark Rubia said, that Israel was
1:28:12
Speaker 3: going to attack with or without our permission, and that
1:28:14
Speaker 3: there would have been repercussions, and those would have been imminent,
1:28:19
Speaker 3: and that sounds like sort of a stretch to the
1:28:23
Speaker 3: argument of imminence. The other argument is that it was
1:28:27
Speaker 3: imminent because they're imminently going to get a nuclear weapon. Well,
1:28:31
Speaker 3: you know, when the Trump administration bombed their nuclear facilities
1:28:35
Speaker 3: six months ago, they said they were obliterated, So that
1:28:37
Speaker 3: wouldn't be consistent. If they were obliterated, how would they
1:28:40
Speaker 3: be reconstituting them. We have intel assessments, i think from
1:28:44
Speaker 3: eighteen different US intelligence agencies, none of which say that
1:28:49
Speaker 3: they're reconstituting their nuclear program or that there were weeks
1:28:52
Speaker 3: away from developing a weapon. And the people who have
1:28:55
Speaker 3: wanted this war have been saying really probably for twenty
1:28:59
Speaker 3: years now. Their video is going back into the nineties
1:29:02
Speaker 3: of them saying Iran is only one week away from
1:29:04
Speaker 3: getting a nuclear weapon. True, we must stop them now.
1:29:07
Speaker 3: And so it's somewhat of a canard, and it's hard
1:29:10
Speaker 3: to argue with because even at my level, nobody shows
1:29:13
Speaker 3: me evidence that they don't have a nuclear weapon which
1:29:15
Speaker 3: is or are developing. It's hard to have evidence of
1:29:19
Speaker 3: something that doesn't exist. But they also they closely guard
1:29:23
Speaker 3: this information. So when the executive takes us to war,
1:29:26
Speaker 3: they just tell us what they want us to hear true,
1:29:28
Speaker 3: and there's no real way to challenge them unless you
1:29:30
Speaker 3: have accessed all the classified data, and then they have
1:29:33
Speaker 3: it classified so you're not allowed to reveal it. So
1:29:35
Speaker 3: there's a lot of reasons why the argumentation is much
1:29:39
Speaker 3: more difficult from the outside looking in.
1:29:41
Speaker 1: Well out of the concept of mutually assured destruction. I
1:29:44
Speaker 1: think the North Koreans are benefiting from their nuclear weapons.
1:29:47
Speaker 1: We know Russia and China are. We don't attack them
1:29:49
Speaker 1: in spite of the fact that they represent greater existential
1:29:51
Speaker 1: threats to our existence than even Iran. Iran of course
1:29:54
Speaker 1: once one, so they can prevent being they can avoid
1:29:56
Speaker 1: being bombed. Nobody bombs a country with a nuclear weapon,
1:30:00
Speaker 1: and isn't that the point of having one.
1:30:01
Speaker 3: I don't want to see this. I mean, yeah, they're
1:30:03
Speaker 3: not dumb. They see this, and it's something that we
1:30:07
Speaker 3: have to understand from an adversary's position. Doesn't mean anybody
1:30:10
Speaker 3: wants a rant of a neutral weapons but from their
1:30:12
Speaker 3: point of view, but from their point of view that
1:30:15
Speaker 3: they see it as a protection from attackers.
1:30:17
Speaker 2: Nobody attacks on Korea Senator.
1:30:19
Speaker 1: Ran Paul pivoting over briefly, is the time finally right
1:30:23
Speaker 1: for the penny Plan? I think it's a brilliant suggestion.
1:30:25
Speaker 1: I think we can do with a little waste of
1:30:28
Speaker 1: spending cuts with in the United States government is a
1:30:31
Speaker 1: day finally comes, sir.
1:30:33
Speaker 3: I think people when they hear about it say, well, gosh,
1:30:35
Speaker 3: it just takes a small percentage cut of everything. Even
1:30:39
Speaker 3: people who are enamored of their particular pet cause or
1:30:43
Speaker 3: someone in their family has a terrible disease and they
1:30:45
Speaker 3: want the government to find a cure. Even those people,
1:30:48
Speaker 3: when I say to them, well, gosh, it'd be a
1:30:49
Speaker 3: six percent cut. It used to be a penny cut,
1:30:52
Speaker 3: but it's gotten worse to be a six penny cut.
1:30:54
Speaker 3: And the six percent cut means I mean, think about it.
1:30:57
Speaker 3: Let's say your family member has Alzheimer's disease and want
1:31:00
Speaker 3: the government to research that. And I look at these people,
1:31:03
Speaker 3: and I have great sympathy. I have family members with
1:31:05
Speaker 3: it also, and I say, you got one hundred million
1:31:08
Speaker 3: last year. What this would mean is you get ninety
1:31:10
Speaker 3: four million next year. And most of them look at
1:31:13
Speaker 3: me and say, well, gosh, if the country's out of money.
1:31:15
Speaker 3: We all should do that. We all get together. It
1:31:17
Speaker 3: doesn't mean there's no research money in too be ninety
1:31:20
Speaker 3: four million instead of one hundred million. And most people
1:31:23
Speaker 3: think it's reasonable unless they're in Congress. And those in
1:31:26
Speaker 3: Congress are what's a nice.
1:31:29
Speaker 2: Word, not idiots.
1:31:30
Speaker 3: That's not a nice people in Congress. Let's just say
1:31:33
Speaker 3: they're profligate spenders. That's a nicer word. But they don't
1:31:37
Speaker 3: have a concern for the debt. But it's catching up.
1:31:39
Speaker 3: Medicare SOB security, you are running out of money within
1:31:41
Speaker 3: the next few years. Nobody is lifting a finger to
1:31:44
Speaker 3: try to fix them. Every time I try to propose
1:31:47
Speaker 3: something for SOB security Medicare, they're not popular because they
1:31:51
Speaker 3: do involve reducing benefits in some ways or raising the
1:31:55
Speaker 3: age in some ways. But every time I bring it up,
1:31:57
Speaker 3: people say, oh, you're going to try to do this
1:31:59
Speaker 3: this and it isn't popular. But I don't do it
1:32:02
Speaker 3: for a popularity contest. I know because I want those
1:32:05
Speaker 3: security to be there for my friends and relatives when
1:32:08
Speaker 3: they're turned sixty five in the next ten years.
1:32:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, the landscape has changed dramatically since the program is
1:32:13
Speaker 1: an act that changes must take place to deal with
1:32:16
Speaker 1: the reflections of that, and it is a failing program.
1:32:19
Speaker 1: Just look at the numbers. The numbers don't lie, Senator Paul,
1:32:21
Speaker 1: you know that you're just trying to bring to people's
1:32:23
Speaker 1: attention third rail of politics. Okay, let's ignore the problem
1:32:26
Speaker 1: as if it does not exist, so we all will
1:32:28
Speaker 1: have nothing down the road.
1:32:30
Speaker 3: There was an off edge of the day reporting how
1:32:32
Speaker 3: many couples get over one hundred thousand dollars a year
1:32:35
Speaker 3: now in retirement from ZOI security, But it also mentioned
1:32:38
Speaker 3: what percentage of social security is our GDP? And I
1:32:41
Speaker 3: think so security is five percent of the GDP in
1:32:44
Speaker 3: this country. And then we look at Sweden and we say, oh,
1:32:46
Speaker 3: the Sweden's terrible. They're socialists and all this. Their SOB
1:32:50
Speaker 3: security is less than one percent of their GDP. So
1:32:53
Speaker 3: they actually have pension plans that if the economy goes
1:32:57
Speaker 3: south and slows down, they slow down the pension pain
1:33:00
Speaker 3: and their average pension payments about thirty or forty thousand
1:33:03
Speaker 3: dollars a year. And I guess maybe that's our top.
1:33:07
Speaker 3: Our top is around one hundred thousand.
1:33:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's not it's never apples. The apples comparisons.
1:33:13
Speaker 1: Senator Ran Paul, thank you so much for your time today.
1:33:15
Speaker 1: Keep up the great work and keep talking, keep speaking
1:33:17
Speaker 1: truth to the UH, the profligate spenders. Somebody will finally
1:33:21
Speaker 1: get through to them. I hope it's you, Senator Ram Paul.
1:33:24
Speaker 1: You're always walking around to the fifty five Carscree morning.
1:33:25
Speaker 1: Should have a great day, sir, and happy opening day
1:33:28
Speaker 1: seven forty three. Right now at thirty five krs the
1:33:30
Speaker 1: talk station Zimmer Heating and a welcome. Kurt Hartman from
1:33:33
Speaker 1: the Fitty Law Firm got another lawsuit to talk about. Kurt,
1:33:36
Speaker 1: could you have you back on the show today? Happy
1:33:37
Speaker 1: for opening the day with you there. All right? First off,
1:33:41
Speaker 1: you on behalf of your client, Lisa Daily, resident of
1:33:44
Speaker 1: the school district Forest Hill School District. Specifically, you find
1:33:47
Speaker 1: a lawsuit on her behalf asking the Forest Hill School
1:33:50
Speaker 1: District to produce, hopefully an unredacted copy of their Immigrations
1:33:54
Speaker 1: and Customs Enforcement response plan. Kurt Hartman got to start with,
1:33:58
Speaker 1: why do they have one in the first place? Is
1:34:00
Speaker 1: this a plan in search of a problem. What's the
1:34:02
Speaker 1: story behind why they have one? They will get to
1:34:04
Speaker 1: the reasons why you're suing them.
1:34:06
Speaker 15: Yeah, no, it is definitely, you know, a solution in
1:34:10
Speaker 15: search of a problem. But what has happened is, you know,
1:34:13
Speaker 15: since the last election, the ultra left, ultra progressives have
1:34:19
Speaker 15: taken over the forestill school board and so I think
1:34:23
Speaker 15: this is aligned with the radical leftist agenda of those
1:34:28
Speaker 15: on the school board.
1:34:29
Speaker 7: The hostility towards the school board, you know, kind of
1:34:33
Speaker 7: predating this was you know, in late January, there was
1:34:35
Speaker 7: a student walk out, one of these student walkout protesting
1:34:39
Speaker 7: ICE right.
1:34:39
Speaker 9: During the middle class, during the middle school.
1:34:43
Speaker 7: And there's no accountability, no repercussions for the students. They
1:34:46
Speaker 7: disrupt the educational process. But I think because the problem,
1:34:50
Speaker 7: you know, it was anti ICE at that time too,
1:34:53
Speaker 7: no problem, just do it.
1:34:55
Speaker 3: So, you know, I think they're kind of related, but
1:34:58
Speaker 3: it kind.
1:34:58
Speaker 7: Of shows this hostility and this you know, political agenda
1:35:03
Speaker 7: that the current school board has well.
1:35:06
Speaker 1: And I was offended by the walkout too. I was
1:35:09
Speaker 1: more curious to know on that one, and I don't
1:35:11
Speaker 1: know that it's ever been reported, but do you know,
1:35:13
Speaker 1: did those students walk out to protest at the ICE
1:35:16
Speaker 1: at the behest of their teachers, who would should otherwise
1:35:19
Speaker 1: have said don't you can't leave class. You're gonna be
1:35:22
Speaker 1: held accountable, suspended, or otherwise facing penalties for walking out
1:35:25
Speaker 1: of class.
1:35:27
Speaker 2: No, not at all.
1:35:27
Speaker 7: Actually, you know, there's this wull text group that the
1:35:30
Speaker 7: students were in that I've got access to, was provided
1:35:33
Speaker 7: privy to, and you know, at first the students were
1:35:36
Speaker 7: kind of concerned, but then they said, hey, we talked
1:35:38
Speaker 7: to the principal assistant principal.
1:35:40
Speaker 9: And hey, everything's fine, we can do it.
1:35:43
Speaker 7: Just you know, they gave us the parameters do this,
1:35:46
Speaker 7: don't shout go to the football field, you know.
1:35:49
Speaker 9: So so in a certain sense, I think school officials
1:35:52
Speaker 9: were condoning or you know, supporting in a certain sense
1:35:55
Speaker 9: this walkout.
1:35:55
Speaker 7: There was never this, hey you're gonna be disrupting the school,
1:35:58
Speaker 7: You're gonna be held accountable, et cetera. None of that.
1:36:01
Speaker 7: You know, it's just okay, you know, and it's just this,
1:36:06
Speaker 7: you know, let's take an over academia and the educational
1:36:09
Speaker 7: process itself. You know throughout the country, you know, is
1:36:13
Speaker 7: this is this heart radical Marxist ideology. And so when
1:36:20
Speaker 7: the come comes forward, so they do that walk out.
1:36:22
Speaker 7: Next thing, you know, the school boards meeting and going
1:36:25
Speaker 7: into an.
1:36:25
Speaker 9: Executive session and we.
1:36:28
Speaker 7: Learned that this ICE response plan comes out and says, hey,
1:36:31
Speaker 7: let's see it exactly what your attitude. Lets see what
1:36:34
Speaker 7: your attitude is, because what it's doing is, if you
1:36:36
Speaker 7: think about it, Brian, it's how do we respond to
1:36:40
Speaker 7: law enforcement officers enforcing the law?
1:36:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, exact.
1:36:44
Speaker 7: So they redact this under a statue that's based upon
1:36:48
Speaker 7: you know, protecting information that's you know, an attack, sabotage.
1:36:53
Speaker 9: Interference, or acts of terrorism.
1:36:56
Speaker 7: I mean this was a statue that was passed right
1:36:58
Speaker 7: after nine to eleven, and so that's what it's designed.
1:37:02
Speaker 9: It's okay, we're not.
1:37:04
Speaker 7: So when we are intact, when criminal activity is occurring
1:37:08
Speaker 7: against or you know, against public offices, how do we
1:37:12
Speaker 7: guard against that?
1:37:13
Speaker 1: Which is who.
1:37:15
Speaker 9: Criminal activity?
1:37:16
Speaker 1: Right? That's the argument you advanced in of course, Like
1:37:18
Speaker 1: wait a second, are you telling us that you perceive
1:37:22
Speaker 1: the ICE agents to be terrorists in essence?
1:37:26
Speaker 2: Correct?
1:37:26
Speaker 9: That's I mean, that's what I equate it to. I mean, terrorists, savageores,
1:37:31
Speaker 9: et cetera. No, you know, how how are we going
1:37:33
Speaker 9: to respond?
1:37:34
Speaker 7: And so it's like, let us see it, you know,
1:37:37
Speaker 7: let's see what attitude are public officials in Forest Hill
1:37:41
Speaker 7: School District have towards law enforcement.
1:37:44
Speaker 1: Well, and it's a plan which suggests there are steps
1:37:47
Speaker 1: to be taken in the event ICE shows up. So
1:37:51
Speaker 1: isn't that information they want to pass along to everybody
1:37:53
Speaker 1: so people follow the plan, Kurt, you.
1:37:56
Speaker 16: Would think you know, now in this filing they just
1:37:59
Speaker 16: made the other day, they said, O, well, this has
1:38:01
Speaker 16: only been shared with administrators, you know, the nor average
1:38:05
Speaker 16: staff haven't been made privy to this.
1:38:08
Speaker 9: Well, that's interesting because one of the sections, you know.
1:38:11
Speaker 7: Just talks about how bus drivers should respond, and that's redacted.
1:38:15
Speaker 7: You know, we don't know what it's redacted with bus drivers.
1:38:17
Speaker 9: So you got this policy, but you're not telling people
1:38:22
Speaker 9: how to implement it. You know, it's just this grand standing.
1:38:26
Speaker 7: Like you said at the beginning, you know, it's a
1:38:29
Speaker 7: solution in search of a problem.
1:38:31
Speaker 1: And well, the attorney for the school said, you know,
1:38:34
Speaker 1: since you meant a comment about the education environment and
1:38:37
Speaker 1: how the students were basically I would argue encouraged to
1:38:39
Speaker 1: walk out. At least they were told there we're going
1:38:41
Speaker 1: to be no repercussions to walk out and protesting ICE
1:38:44
Speaker 1: interrupting the educational environment. Pivoting over to the statement by
1:38:47
Speaker 1: the attorney rather the district explained the ice response plan
1:38:50
Speaker 1: was for the purpose of safety and security for students
1:38:52
Speaker 1: and staff, for protecting and maintaining the educational environment from
1:38:57
Speaker 1: interference and redactions. We're legitimate understate law. I don't know
1:39:00
Speaker 1: how you get to redactions where legitim understate law. But look,
1:39:03
Speaker 1: they're interested in maintaining an educational environment and protecting it.
1:39:06
Speaker 1: They didn't, so their actions speak a little bit louder
1:39:10
Speaker 1: than the redacted words in this still yet to be
1:39:12
Speaker 1: seen plan.
1:39:14
Speaker 7: Correct, correct, Yeah, it's like I said, so, so it's like,
1:39:18
Speaker 7: you know, let us see, let us see what are
1:39:22
Speaker 7: what your attitude is or what are these selected officials? Yeah,
1:39:26
Speaker 7: you know what their attitude is. Let us see it
1:39:29
Speaker 7: either your pro law enforcement or you'll be taking a
1:39:31
Speaker 7: hostile position or towards it. You know, and if you
1:39:35
Speaker 7: think about you know this, this was a school board
1:39:37
Speaker 7: that ran on openness and transparency. You know, they're a
1:39:40
Speaker 7: little buzz where it's all everything's being done in secret,
1:39:43
Speaker 7: everything's behind closed doors.
1:39:45
Speaker 9: And within two months they're.
1:39:46
Speaker 7: In office and guess what they've become that which they disdained, right,
1:39:52
Speaker 7: But but but that's typical.
1:39:54
Speaker 9: But that's typical.
1:39:55
Speaker 7: I think with the left that they will say whatever
1:39:58
Speaker 7: they have to say to get elect But then you know,
1:40:00
Speaker 7: they become it becomes rules for thee but not.
1:40:02
Speaker 1: For me clearly. So we're in we're in motion practice
1:40:07
Speaker 1: stage right now, you file the claim, what do they
1:40:10
Speaker 1: file a motion to dismiss. Rather you said.
1:40:12
Speaker 7: Dismiss, I filed I followed the response yesterday, you know,
1:40:16
Speaker 7: and it's gonna be denied. The you know, I've done
1:40:19
Speaker 7: enough public records cases where you know, this type of case.
1:40:23
Speaker 7: But the courts will say is no, that will tell
1:40:26
Speaker 7: the school districts submit whatever this plan is unredacted to
1:40:29
Speaker 7: the court under seal so they can look at it,
1:40:32
Speaker 7: and then the court's going to decide whether or not
1:40:34
Speaker 7: this really is a you know, quote unquote security record
1:40:37
Speaker 7: record to guard against you know, attack, interference, sabotage, or
1:40:41
Speaker 7: acts of terrorism.
1:40:43
Speaker 1: Fair enough, Kurt Hartman, Uh, this results in sizable litigation
1:40:48
Speaker 1: fees getting racked up. I imagine the school district's iner
1:40:50
Speaker 1: defend its actions. They have to pay lawyers to respond
1:40:52
Speaker 1: to the motions and go into court and make maybe
1:40:55
Speaker 1: make the motions and motions that dismiss for example. So
1:40:58
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, when you win, and
1:40:59
Speaker 1: I'm confident that you will since you typically do win
1:41:02
Speaker 1: these Kurt artmen, are they going to be elder or
1:41:05
Speaker 1: are you going to be eligible to get your retorney's
1:41:06
Speaker 1: fees covered by a yes?
1:41:08
Speaker 9: Yes, that's pervision. That's provision of the Public Records Act.
1:41:12
Speaker 7: So you know, the State LEDs General Assembly and acting
1:41:15
Speaker 7: this law said hey, we want people, we want to
1:41:18
Speaker 7: encourage people to bring actions that governments are improperly withholding
1:41:22
Speaker 7: public records. You should be able to pursue it and
1:41:25
Speaker 7: not be dependent upon, you know, you having to pay
1:41:28
Speaker 7: the fees. So at the end of the day, you win,
1:41:30
Speaker 7: the government.
1:41:31
Speaker 1: Pays the fees grant. This is typically a contingency feed
1:41:33
Speaker 1: type case. Kurt correct, fair enough. That means Lisa Delly
1:41:37
Speaker 1: is going to be on the hook to the extent
1:41:38
Speaker 1: it doesn't go her way. And I appreciate your willingness
1:41:41
Speaker 1: to do this kind of work work card. I wish
1:41:42
Speaker 1: we had more lawyers who would who would do exactly
1:41:45
Speaker 1: what you do and pursue these kind of cases.
1:41:48
Speaker 7: Well, I'm glad they're not actually for my faith, but
1:41:52
Speaker 7: you know, yeah, it's good and you know people people
1:41:56
Speaker 7: do it, and you know, I get calls all the
1:41:57
Speaker 7: time on the stuff like this. So but you know
1:42:00
Speaker 7: they saw I'm out there doing them, fighting for the
1:42:02
Speaker 7: people to get their records.
1:42:03
Speaker 1: You are, how quickly will this be turned around? Your
1:42:05
Speaker 1: brief has been filed, so it's in the court's lap,
1:42:07
Speaker 1: you say, within thirty days or so.
1:42:09
Speaker 7: Well, the motion to dismiss will probably be decided, probably
1:42:12
Speaker 7: within three months. Unfortunately, then the briefing schedule will be
1:42:17
Speaker 7: a month after that, a probably a decision a year
1:42:19
Speaker 7: from now. I'm fortunate.
1:42:21
Speaker 9: Unfortunately these do not move fast.
1:42:23
Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough on that. And I got to ask,
1:42:25
Speaker 1: are you aware of any other of our you know,
1:42:27
Speaker 1: sort of local or slash regional school districts that have
1:42:30
Speaker 1: an immigrations and custom enforcement response plan?
1:42:35
Speaker 9: Well? Yeah, yeah, be honest with you.
1:42:36
Speaker 7: What we did is we actually did a request to Cincinnati, Columbus, Toledo,
1:42:41
Speaker 7: and Springfield schools for their plans, same request. How are
1:42:46
Speaker 7: you going to respond? They provided what they had, okay, unredacted.
1:42:51
Speaker 9: I think the only redaction in one was a cell
1:42:54
Speaker 9: phone number.
1:42:54
Speaker 7: A cell phone number. Find I'm not but you know,
1:42:57
Speaker 7: and you know, it's kind of surprising me. I thought
1:43:00
Speaker 7: there was some template that was circulating.
1:43:02
Speaker 1: Of course.
1:43:03
Speaker 7: Yeah, honestly, they were all unique and distinct. One was
1:43:07
Speaker 7: just kind of an email that the superintendent sent out
1:43:09
Speaker 7: the staff saying, Hey, if this.
1:43:10
Speaker 9: Happens, we need to be professional, you know.
1:43:13
Speaker 7: But again, so, yeah, we did the inquiry kind of
1:43:16
Speaker 7: across the state just to see, just to see.
1:43:19
Speaker 1: Okay, so and it was happening.
1:43:20
Speaker 9: None of them had an issue. Okay, here it is.
1:43:22
Speaker 9: Within a day or two, they provided it and unredacted.
1:43:24
Speaker 1: Better understanding of the law that they're supposed to operate under.
1:43:27
Speaker 1: That suggests so Forest Hills is out in the wind
1:43:30
Speaker 1: on that one. Now did you in looking at these
1:43:33
Speaker 1: other policies, It doesn't sound like you tracked a theme.
1:43:36
Speaker 1: And I was expecting a one size fits all plan
1:43:40
Speaker 1: for all the school districts brought to you by some
1:43:42
Speaker 1: woke teachers union. But there isn't a theme like we
1:43:45
Speaker 1: need to resist ice, we need to do you know,
1:43:48
Speaker 1: not invite them in, not cooperate them. That didn't come through,
1:43:50
Speaker 1: and the ones you looked at that is correct.
1:43:53
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, it was essentially not.
1:43:56
Speaker 7: No, we're not going to outright cooperate, but you know,
1:44:00
Speaker 7: they need to go go to the office, they need
1:44:02
Speaker 7: to do this.
1:44:03
Speaker 9: We need to do that, you know, sure, but but
1:44:06
Speaker 9: you know most of it was just be calm, be professional,
1:44:10
Speaker 9: et cetera.
1:44:11
Speaker 1: Well, that's actually refreshing to hear and surprising, honestly, Kurt
1:44:14
Speaker 1: Hartman from the Finny Law Firm doing right by the
1:44:17
Speaker 1: gritter Cincinnati area. Keep fighting the good fight, Kurt. You
1:44:19
Speaker 1: know you always have a venue to bring this information
1:44:21
Speaker 1: to our attention. I welcome you anytime you've got something
1:44:23
Speaker 1: like that, and again applaud your efforts gladly. Enjoy Opening Day, Kurt,
1:44:28
Speaker 1: have a wonderful one until we talk again. Best of
1:44:30
Speaker 1: health to you and your family. Eight eighteen, Right now
1:44:33
Speaker 1: fifty five kr CD Talk Station, iHeartMedia and fifty five
1:44:36
Speaker 1: kr CIT Talk Station. Happy Friday Eve, Happy Opening Day.
1:44:39
Speaker 1: Always a special time for me. I get to talk
1:44:41
Speaker 1: to and you get to heroes talk together. I Heart Media.
1:44:43
Speaker 1: Aviation Expert Jay Ratliff, Jay, welcome back, my friend. Love
1:44:46
Speaker 1: having you on my program.
1:44:47
Speaker 2: Well, happy Opening Day to you.
1:44:49
Speaker 10: My friend.
1:44:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll keep our fingers crossed anyhow. Just laughing because
1:44:53
Speaker 1: someone suggested earlier that if the Reds have a really
1:44:56
Speaker 1: great season and we start selling out games, a great
1:44:59
Speaker 1: American Ball, they're gonna have to deal with the curfew.
1:45:01
Speaker 1: They've apparently relaxed the curfew law because of the opening
1:45:05
Speaker 1: day and the quantity of people are down there, so
1:45:07
Speaker 1: no curfew for young people will have to cross that bridge.
1:45:10
Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll get to that bridge because we'll be doing
1:45:12
Speaker 1: so well.
1:45:13
Speaker 2: I would love to think that that would be something
1:45:15
Speaker 2: we'd have to worry about moving forward.
1:45:17
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Yeah, we all know where the bets are being
1:45:19
Speaker 1: placed on that anyway, Jay Ratliffe, let's get over to
1:45:22
Speaker 1: the list of topics we got this morning, and some
1:45:24
Speaker 1: good ones on the list, starting off with the latest
1:45:26
Speaker 1: of the New York plane crash Laguardi Airport, and I
1:45:28
Speaker 1: got to see the video. We talked last week about
1:45:31
Speaker 1: this because it was kind of still unfolding, and then
1:45:33
Speaker 1: the video of the plane impacting the fire truck came
1:45:36
Speaker 1: out and that plane looked like it was going to
1:45:38
Speaker 1: hell of a lot faster than the twenty twenty five
1:45:40
Speaker 1: miles prior was originally thought.
1:45:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that was given off of some of the
1:45:44
Speaker 2: ground systems that sometimes have a difficult time measuring the
1:45:48
Speaker 2: ground speed. But that once the NTSB was able to
1:45:52
Speaker 2: retrieve both of the black boxes, the cockpit voice recorder
1:45:55
Speaker 2: as well as the flight data recorder. They're going to
1:45:58
Speaker 2: have all the specifics down to a tee on everything.
1:46:01
Speaker 2: And one of the things we did find out was
1:46:03
Speaker 2: one the aircraft was on final approach, the first officer
1:46:08
Speaker 2: was at the controls. It was it was his plane,
1:46:11
Speaker 2: and when they broke the clouds and just at the
1:46:13
Speaker 2: point they had rotated down where the Ford landing gear
1:46:17
Speaker 2: was on the runway, apparently that's when they spotted the
1:46:20
Speaker 2: fire truck recognized the emergency at hand. Captain says my airplane.
1:46:25
Speaker 2: So you've got the more experience to the two taking over,
1:46:28
Speaker 2: but they simply just didn't have enough time to do much.
1:46:31
Speaker 2: And you know, one of the things that I continue
1:46:33
Speaker 2: to look at through all of this is had they
1:46:35
Speaker 2: veered in any certain way where a fuel tank and
1:46:38
Speaker 2: one of the wings could have been impacted instead of
1:46:40
Speaker 2: the nose of the aircraft, right, we could have been
1:46:43
Speaker 2: talking about totally totally different set of circumstances where we
1:46:47
Speaker 2: could have had a much more significant loss of life.
1:46:51
Speaker 2: So a lots being stated about these people that as
1:46:56
Speaker 2: far as the crew and all, maybe not having as
1:46:59
Speaker 2: many flight hours as you would like but I think
1:47:01
Speaker 2: the investigation is going to show that those two pilots
1:47:04
Speaker 2: did absolutely everything they could with what limited time they
1:47:07
Speaker 2: had during a time you had a wet runway to
1:47:12
Speaker 2: try to bring that aircraft to a stop as quickly
1:47:14
Speaker 2: as possible.
1:47:15
Speaker 1: Well a stop or the other thought that went through
1:47:17
Speaker 1: my mind and looking at the video, I appreciate that
1:47:20
Speaker 1: this is not a realist necessarily a realistic opportunity, but
1:47:23
Speaker 1: not being a pilot, I got to ask the whole
1:47:25
Speaker 1: idea of maybe pulling out or doing a quick touch
1:47:28
Speaker 1: and go, that's that was out of the out of
1:47:30
Speaker 1: the out of the equation at that moment.
1:47:31
Speaker 2: Well, that the Delta taxiways is less than a third
1:47:34
Speaker 2: of the way down the runway, So when you have
1:47:38
Speaker 2: just landed, if you see there's an emergency and you've
1:47:40
Speaker 2: got to power up and take off, there's no way
1:47:43
Speaker 2: they had enough real estate between them and the truck
1:47:46
Speaker 2: to roll, because again you're talking about touching down in
1:47:49
Speaker 2: that taxiway being a third of the way or so
1:47:52
Speaker 2: down the around down the runway, and a lot of
1:47:56
Speaker 2: individuals are saying, well, Jay, come on the fire truck,
1:47:58
Speaker 2: how could you not see this airplane coming? But this
1:48:01
Speaker 2: wasn't a straight across delta taxi way straight across as
1:48:07
Speaker 2: far as between where the fire truck was progressing, if
1:48:11
Speaker 2: I'm reading the airport diagrams right, and from what I've seen,
1:48:14
Speaker 2: it was something that was pointed more away for the aircraft,
1:48:18
Speaker 2: kind of at a diagonal acrossing of the runway, so
1:48:21
Speaker 2: that the driver never would have been able to see
1:48:24
Speaker 2: over his right side as far as the approach of
1:48:26
Speaker 2: any aircraft, and the person sitting on the right side
1:48:29
Speaker 2: would have had a difficult time initially. But what we
1:48:32
Speaker 2: can see from that video that you referenced is that
1:48:34
Speaker 2: the fire truck did at the last minute try to
1:48:36
Speaker 2: turn away, but obviously, you know, not nearly enough, not
1:48:40
Speaker 2: soon enough for that impact to take place. But just
1:48:44
Speaker 2: a lot of things here in the NTSB chief is
1:48:46
Speaker 2: going to continue to give us a briefings, and I
1:48:49
Speaker 2: think that all of this is going to show that
1:48:51
Speaker 2: there is a series of things that perhaps we could
1:48:54
Speaker 2: have done better. One of the topics that keeps coming
1:48:56
Speaker 2: up is the fact that the airport there is equipped
1:49:00
Speaker 2: just one of the I think thirty thirty five airports
1:49:02
Speaker 2: in the country that have got the technology where they
1:49:04
Speaker 2: can put transponders on the ground equipment where they can
1:49:10
Speaker 2: make sure where everything's at at all times, and this
1:49:13
Speaker 2: fire truck was not equipped with that. So I think
1:49:15
Speaker 2: one of the many recommendations that the NTSB will probably
1:49:18
Speaker 2: roll out is let's make the most of the technology
1:49:22
Speaker 2: that we have in place at these airports to try
1:49:25
Speaker 2: to do what we can again to keep things off
1:49:28
Speaker 2: the runway that shouldn't be there.
1:49:29
Speaker 1: Well, Jay, you know the old thing my parents taught me,
1:49:31
Speaker 1: You look both ways before you across the street. And
1:49:33
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, I don't want to cast any aspersions on
1:49:35
Speaker 1: the fire truck crew, but you know, the world's an
1:49:37
Speaker 1: imperfect place. Wouldn't it be a great idea, just as
1:49:40
Speaker 1: a matter of default and practice and protocol, that before
1:49:43
Speaker 1: you cross the runway you'll look on either side because
1:49:46
Speaker 1: air traffic control can be overwhelmed and sometimes they get
1:49:49
Speaker 1: it wrong, so let's do a double check. I know
1:49:51
Speaker 1: that I've gotten the nose of my car torn off
1:49:53
Speaker 1: because I trusted the green light gave me straight an
1:49:56
Speaker 1: opportunity to go ahead without looking either way, only to
1:50:00
Speaker 1: have someone blow through a red light and crash. Enemy.
1:50:02
Speaker 1: I never do that again. I get a green light
1:50:04
Speaker 1: I look both ways before I proceed into the intersection.
1:50:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, and pause just a bit. But you know, in
1:50:10
Speaker 2: the pilots when they're cleared to land, they recognize anything
1:50:13
Speaker 2: can happen at any time, So keep your head on
1:50:15
Speaker 2: a swivel and look out for everything and anticipate a
1:50:18
Speaker 2: lot of different scenarios. And I'm sure that the fire
1:50:21
Speaker 2: crew is trained to do the same thing. Now, they
1:50:24
Speaker 2: were responding to an emergency. They're trying to get their
1:50:26
Speaker 2: head around what they're going to be doing when they
1:50:29
Speaker 2: get to that United flight that had declared an emergency
1:50:31
Speaker 2: because of odors on the plane with one of the
1:50:33
Speaker 2: crew members falling ill. So I know their mind was
1:50:37
Speaker 2: probably there, but you know, you trust their traffic control
1:50:40
Speaker 2: when you're giving clearance to land or clearance to cross
1:50:43
Speaker 2: that it's okay to do so. But you're right, And again,
1:50:47
Speaker 2: the investigation will show different things. Fortunately the two individuals
1:50:51
Speaker 2: in the truck survived, so they will be able to
1:50:53
Speaker 2: be interviewed and they'll be able to give you a
1:50:56
Speaker 2: moment by moment account of exactly what took place, and
1:51:00
Speaker 2: I think that's going to help the investigators as well.
1:51:03
Speaker 2: And yeah, we'll see where the investigation goes and again
1:51:07
Speaker 2: hopefully we can find many things that we can put
1:51:09
Speaker 2: into place to make things safer for Fuddy on the
1:51:11
Speaker 2: ground than certainly in the plane.
1:51:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, like a better communication between helicopters and
1:51:16
Speaker 1: flying around Reagan Airport. That comes to mind too, Jay Ratleff,
1:51:19
Speaker 1: let's pauseble bring Jay ratlet talk about Oh look, TSA
1:51:23
Speaker 1: lines and maybe even still possible closures of airports. More
1:51:27
Speaker 1: with Jay RADLERFT stick around fifty five Car Todd krc
1:51:32
Speaker 1: lead talk station.
1:51:34
Speaker 7: Have you ever been in a cockpit before?
1:51:36
Speaker 11: Hey?
1:51:37
Speaker 1: Thirty nine to fifty about KRCD talk station. Brian Thomas
1:51:39
Speaker 1: with iHeart Media aviation expert Jay Rally. Jay, my friend
1:51:42
Speaker 1: Maureen Gott touched me issues and waiting in the airport
1:51:44
Speaker 1: in Florida. Heated your advice. Got word went around that,
1:51:47
Speaker 1: you know, TSA lines are really really long. Of course
1:51:49
Speaker 1: because of the government shut down, they're not being paid,
1:51:51
Speaker 1: they're not showing up. They have to get second jobs
1:51:53
Speaker 1: or they have to quit. Ice jumped in and tried
1:51:56
Speaker 1: to solve some of the problem. We'll ask you how
1:51:58
Speaker 1: that's going. But her point was she showed up four
1:52:01
Speaker 1: hours early, there was no line she got right through
1:52:04
Speaker 1: and then only to find out her flight has been
1:52:07
Speaker 1: delayed because there are problems that other airports. Ripple effect,
1:52:10
Speaker 1: meaning she's going to be stuck at the airport for
1:52:12
Speaker 1: at least eight hours before she can get out. Jay,
1:52:15
Speaker 1: this is a ripple effect problem, is it not?
1:52:18
Speaker 2: It is although you can't we can't attribute a lot
1:52:23
Speaker 2: of the flight delays to the airport issues because airlines
1:52:26
Speaker 2: are going to dispatch those airplanes as much as they
1:52:27
Speaker 2: can right on time or as close to it as possible,
1:52:30
Speaker 2: because delays cost them a great deal of money. Plus
1:52:33
Speaker 2: they've already got our money. So you know, the airlines
1:52:37
Speaker 2: are saying that, look, if you want to change your
1:52:40
Speaker 2: itinerary flight at a later time when maybe things aren't
1:52:42
Speaker 2: quite as crazy, they've issued a waiver which means that
1:52:46
Speaker 2: we can change our reservations absent of a change fee,
1:52:48
Speaker 2: which is really really you know, kind of them and
1:52:51
Speaker 2: good to see. But what I'm seeing is in Houston
1:52:55
Speaker 2: and Atlanta and other places, we're seeing the TSA lines
1:52:59
Speaker 2: get your So the processing time is getting better because
1:53:03
Speaker 2: those TSA agents are helping again. They can manage exit lanes,
1:53:07
Speaker 2: they can help facilitate the movement of the people that
1:53:11
Speaker 2: are there. They can do a lot of the non
1:53:12
Speaker 2: technical side of things while being there. And Brian, what
1:53:16
Speaker 2: I continue to see is exactly what I expected. The
1:53:19
Speaker 2: more interaction that passengers have with ICE agents, the more
1:53:23
Speaker 2: they see that, oh my gosh, these people aren't the devil,
1:53:26
Speaker 2: They're not bad at all. They're kill me exactly. So,
1:53:31
Speaker 2: if you're on the Democratic side of the discussion and
1:53:34
Speaker 2: you're thrilled with the chaos that's being created because of
1:53:37
Speaker 2: the shutdown, one President Trump has stepped in to try
1:53:40
Speaker 2: to stop that, and I think it was a great
1:53:42
Speaker 2: move operationally. But the other thing you need to look
1:53:45
Speaker 2: out for is when you have hundreds and hundreds of
1:53:47
Speaker 2: thousands of people to start interacting with these ICE agents
1:53:50
Speaker 2: and they recognize that there are men and women just
1:53:52
Speaker 2: like everybody else, and maybe the way that they've been
1:53:55
Speaker 2: portrayed by some media is a little bit, shall we
1:53:59
Speaker 2: say off. I think that that interaction, the longer that
1:54:02
Speaker 2: it goes, is only going to work to the betterment
1:54:04
Speaker 2: of the ICE image, and I don't think it's going
1:54:07
Speaker 2: to go quite the way that we're seeing. A lot
1:54:09
Speaker 2: of the Democrats wanted to go, and that's one of
1:54:13
Speaker 2: the reasons I think that we're seeing so many of
1:54:15
Speaker 2: them scream get Ice out of the airports. Yeah, I
1:54:18
Speaker 2: know why you want them out of the airports because
1:54:20
Speaker 2: of the fact that that interaction with passengers is going
1:54:23
Speaker 2: so good.
1:54:24
Speaker 1: Their game plan is to cause pain to their constituents, yes,
1:54:29
Speaker 1: and ICE will take away the pain, obviously having an
1:54:32
Speaker 1: impact on their claim that Ice are a bunch of murderers.
1:54:35
Speaker 1: So it's a two fold benefit for the Trump administration.
1:54:38
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, it was a double win politically and operationally
1:54:41
Speaker 2: when it when it happened, I thought, you know, that
1:54:43
Speaker 2: was really a stroke of genius because you know, he's
1:54:46
Speaker 2: solving the problem as much as he can because it's
1:54:49
Speaker 2: out of his hands. It's it's the people in Congress
1:54:52
Speaker 2: got to get this thing done. Yeah, and so as
1:54:54
Speaker 2: a result, he's like, well, I can't fix it, but
1:54:58
Speaker 2: what I can do is try to leave you some
1:55:00
Speaker 2: of these delays at certain airports and deploying ICE, which
1:55:04
Speaker 2: you know you just mentioned that word people going to
1:55:06
Speaker 2: hysterics was certainly a great idea because these are highly
1:55:10
Speaker 2: trained government agents and employees, and look, they're trained in
1:55:14
Speaker 2: law enforcement. It's always good to have an extra set
1:55:16
Speaker 2: of those hands around the security checkpoint as well, and
1:55:19
Speaker 2: they're doing a great job. So look, I know they're
1:55:21
Speaker 2: limited what they can do, but if they can free
1:55:23
Speaker 2: up other individuals to do other things, it's going to
1:55:27
Speaker 2: do nothing but help. And when you see the number
1:55:29
Speaker 2: of people that are calling in, I mean some of
1:55:31
Speaker 2: these folks have missed more than a month of paychecks
1:55:33
Speaker 2: and they've got to put food on the table. I
1:55:36
Speaker 2: totally totally get it. And Brandon, this can't go much
1:55:40
Speaker 2: longer because you just can't expect people to show up
1:55:43
Speaker 2: for work, cheerfully, be there, do the job keeping all
1:55:46
Speaker 2: of us safe, and you know we'll pay you when
1:55:48
Speaker 2: we get around to it.
1:55:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's I don't understand how they don't understand
1:55:54
Speaker 1: the optics and how terrible it is for them, but
1:55:55
Speaker 1: they'll struggle with it. And near the other opponent of
1:55:58
Speaker 1: this and I hesitate to even say it out, but
1:56:00
Speaker 1: since the FBI has warned the American people generally speaking
1:56:03
Speaker 1: about large concentrated groups of people and keep your eyes
1:56:06
Speaker 1: peeled Opening Day Parade, the DEM's playing with fire on this.
1:56:09
Speaker 1: And not only do you have those massive unnecessary lines
1:56:12
Speaker 1: and packfull of areas of the airport that have not
1:56:15
Speaker 1: yet been screened. There's a potential there for a terrorist action,
1:56:18
Speaker 1: maybe even on an airplane. Nobody wants that to happen.
1:56:21
Speaker 1: But if that were to happen, I don't know how
1:56:23
Speaker 1: they get out from underneath that problem they created.
1:56:27
Speaker 2: I agree because it's well, you know, it's just a
1:56:29
Speaker 2: matter of what's the crisis and how can we find
1:56:32
Speaker 2: a way to blame it on our opposition? And instead
1:56:35
Speaker 2: of really trying to solve problems, it's a perception problem,
1:56:38
Speaker 2: and they manage the perception of security and leadership instead
1:56:41
Speaker 2: of actually doing things. And we all know this, and
1:56:44
Speaker 2: we all get frustrated, but we keep sending the same
1:56:46
Speaker 2: bozos back to DC every single time, and it's like,
1:56:50
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, you know, this is what the consequences are
1:56:56
Speaker 2: for us voting to the same person back in and
1:56:58
Speaker 2: I don't care which side of the aisle they're all.
1:57:00
Speaker 2: It just frustrates me because look, you know, last week
1:57:02
Speaker 2: we hit the thirty nine trillion dollar mark in the
1:57:04
Speaker 2: national debt. Took us five months from the time we
1:57:06
Speaker 2: hit thirty eight. It's going to take us less than
1:57:08
Speaker 2: five to hit hit forty and zero zero zero urgency
1:57:13
Speaker 2: to address that or take care of it, just like
1:57:15
Speaker 2: the social security mess that were just years away from
1:57:18
Speaker 2: it blowing up in our face. So there's no leadership there.
1:57:21
Speaker 2: So and that's why when I hear these individuals talk
1:57:24
Speaker 2: about the Constitution, Declaration of Independence and how outdated that
1:57:27
Speaker 2: these people can't couldn't create something that could last twenty years,
1:57:31
Speaker 2: not two hundred and fifty years. So when I hear
1:57:33
Speaker 2: them spouting off about how this or that needed to
1:57:37
Speaker 2: be changed, I'm thinking, well, maybe, but certainly not by you,
1:57:40
Speaker 2: because you can't fix any single problem that lands on
1:57:42
Speaker 2: your desk.
1:57:43
Speaker 1: See, this is one of the reasons I love talking
1:57:45
Speaker 1: on the program Jay have at it. Oh, I'm just
1:57:49
Speaker 1: I love it.
1:57:50
Speaker 2: I love our country. And when we've traveled the world,
1:57:54
Speaker 2: people come up to Sherry and I when they hear
1:57:55
Speaker 2: speaking English, and they ask us what it's like to
1:57:58
Speaker 2: be an American. What's it like to be to have
1:58:01
Speaker 2: the freedom to start your own business, or you know,
1:58:03
Speaker 2: to buy land instead of like when we were in China,
1:58:06
Speaker 2: where you can rent it from the government for seventy
1:58:08
Speaker 2: years before you have to give it back. I mean,
1:58:10
Speaker 2: all of these things that we just take so casually
1:58:13
Speaker 2: for granted. And then I see somebody here with a little,
1:58:16
Speaker 2: you know, frown on their face, the sourpuss, and talk
1:58:19
Speaker 2: about how bad things are. And my first question is always, well,
1:58:22
Speaker 2: I mean, how many other countries have you been to?
1:58:24
Speaker 2: In which country have you observed? Personally? That's better? Oh
1:58:27
Speaker 2: you don't need to travel to know how bad?
1:58:29
Speaker 7: Oh?
1:58:30
Speaker 2: Yes you do.
1:58:30
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah.
1:58:31
Speaker 2: Perception and perspective go hand in hand there. And it
1:58:35
Speaker 2: just bothers me because look, I won the lottery being
1:58:38
Speaker 2: born an American, and I'm never going to take that
1:58:40
Speaker 2: for granted.
1:58:41
Speaker 1: Good and we'll bring it back. Is this an opportunity
1:58:43
Speaker 1: to join the mile high club? United Airlines relax Row plus?
1:58:48
Speaker 1: What is a customer of size going over to Southwest Airlines? We'
1:58:51
Speaker 1: get a couple of seat policy changes with Jay after
1:58:53
Speaker 1: these three words.
1:58:55
Speaker 5: Fifty five KRC dot com.
1:58:57
Speaker 1: He talks Facer eight forty nine here fifty five parirseit
1:59:01
Speaker 1: de talk station Bryan Simas. With Jay Ratliffe, I heard
1:59:03
Speaker 1: need the aviation expert and political commentator, which I love.
1:59:07
Speaker 1: Jay Rattliff. I got two new seat policies into one.
1:59:10
Speaker 1: Wasn't on the list that will be answering the question
1:59:12
Speaker 1: over at Southwest what is a customer of size? But first,
1:59:15
Speaker 1: the one that you put down, which looks like I
1:59:18
Speaker 1: don't know, based upon the photograph you sent me an
1:59:19
Speaker 1: opportunity to join the mile high club made easier by
1:59:22
Speaker 1: United Airlines. I know I'm wrong on that, but that
1:59:24
Speaker 1: looks like a bed to me.
1:59:26
Speaker 2: It's a couch. Yeah, and I did not send it
1:59:29
Speaker 2: to you with that in mind. But that is the
1:59:31
Speaker 2: story of the day in the United Airlines is doing
1:59:37
Speaker 2: a lot like Lusanza and a Zealand is doing, saying
1:59:41
Speaker 2: that we will on some of our wide bodied aircraft,
1:59:45
Speaker 2: which are the longer flights, we'll give you the opportunity
1:59:48
Speaker 2: if at the time of departure there's empty seats and
1:59:51
Speaker 2: you want to buy the row, you can buy a row,
1:59:54
Speaker 2: pay a little bit more money and we will give
1:59:57
Speaker 2: you a little couch type of thing you can lay down.
1:59:59
Speaker 2: We'll give you a special seat belt that you can
2:00:01
Speaker 2: be secured in there. We'll give you a little pillow,
2:00:03
Speaker 2: little blank if your kids are there, give them a
2:00:05
Speaker 2: little stuffed animal. Yeah. So the thought is and this
2:00:08
Speaker 2: is brilliant. It's one of the ways airlines just continue
2:00:11
Speaker 2: to find a way to squeeze at every penny we can,
2:00:14
Speaker 2: because let's say you've got a wide bodied aircraft that's
2:00:16
Speaker 2: twenty five percent empty, and you're thinking, how can we
2:00:19
Speaker 2: get more revenue from the people that are on there,
2:00:21
Speaker 2: because we can't sell any more seats. Ah, let's tell
2:00:23
Speaker 2: people that can buy the whole row. You know, maybe
2:00:26
Speaker 2: not as much as it would be triple the cost,
2:00:28
Speaker 2: but yeah, you can get your seat in the two
2:00:30
Speaker 2: next to you at a slightly additional fee, and you
2:00:34
Speaker 2: can just lay down and enjoy the longer flight. So
2:00:38
Speaker 2: it's brilliant and United's the first US carrier to do it.
2:00:41
Speaker 2: And the thought is that you can relax and look
2:00:45
Speaker 2: at I remember back in the eighties when I got
2:00:47
Speaker 2: started in the airline industry early in those years nineteen
2:00:49
Speaker 2: eighty one, some of our load factors are forty five
2:00:52
Speaker 2: forty seven percent. You would frequently be on a plane
2:00:55
Speaker 2: when you know the door shuts, flight tensions, move wherever
2:00:58
Speaker 2: you want, and you can have a whole road to yourself.
2:01:00
Speaker 2: Those days are obviously gone. But now your lines have
2:01:02
Speaker 2: found a way that if the flight's not entirely full
2:01:04
Speaker 2: and you are working and you want extra room, have
2:01:07
Speaker 2: the whole road to yourself, or you want you and
2:01:09
Speaker 2: your wife to or you know whatever, there's a way
2:01:12
Speaker 2: to do it, of course in an additional cost, but hey,
2:01:15
Speaker 2: what a great idea.
2:01:16
Speaker 1: Great idea. You know. One of the best flights I
2:01:18
Speaker 1: was ever on, Jay Ratliff, I was the only passenger
2:01:21
Speaker 1: on one of the small jets coming in from Chicago
2:01:23
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati. H what happened to everyting? You know? Who
2:01:26
Speaker 1: sat down next to me and gave me free drinks
2:01:28
Speaker 1: for the whole flight? The flight attendant, absolutely, she was friendly.
2:01:34
Speaker 1: I'll tell you she was friendly, Edie.
2:01:38
Speaker 2: It's nice. And you know, if they can also do
2:01:41
Speaker 2: they sometimes they'll do a high performance takeoff. If they've
2:01:43
Speaker 2: just got one on board and you're having fun with
2:01:45
Speaker 2: the pilots, they'll be like, okay, and they'll send a
2:01:48
Speaker 2: little faster than normal. Just have a little bit of fun.
2:01:51
Speaker 2: And you know that's always enjoyable as.
2:01:52
Speaker 1: Well, no doubt about it. And moving over, what is
2:01:55
Speaker 1: a customer of size? I guess it's if you spill over,
2:01:57
Speaker 1: or as Southwestern refer it to his customers who encroach
2:02:01
Speaker 1: upon their neighboring seats, I guess they're in for an
2:02:03
Speaker 1: additional charge now. To pick caught people by surprise.
2:02:06
Speaker 2: Jay, Well, you know it used to be with Southwest
2:02:09
Speaker 2: that you could pay for the seat and then if
2:02:12
Speaker 2: the flight was only so so empty, that you could
2:02:15
Speaker 2: request a refund for the one seat that you had
2:02:19
Speaker 2: to pay extra. And a lot of people are calling
2:02:22
Speaker 2: this a fat tax, because what's happened is Southwest has
2:02:25
Speaker 2: changed their policy where they only do this if the
2:02:28
Speaker 2: flight's not sold out or is sold out, and you
2:02:31
Speaker 2: have a shorter period of time to request the refund.
2:02:34
Speaker 2: And there's people that have gone to social media saying, hey, look,
2:02:37
Speaker 2: Southwest is you know, singled me out because of my size,
2:02:41
Speaker 2: and you know that's not really the case. What happens,
2:02:44
Speaker 2: and I've had to have these conversations with people at
2:02:46
Speaker 2: the airport is to explain to them that they simply
2:02:48
Speaker 2: won't be comfortable in a seat by themselves like that,
2:02:52
Speaker 2: and they need a second seat. And I normally blame
2:02:55
Speaker 2: it on the fact that the seats are getting smaller,
2:02:57
Speaker 2: and of course the airline's doing what they can here
2:02:59
Speaker 2: to to cram as many seats on an airplane. And
2:03:02
Speaker 2: you tell people that because of their big bone structure
2:03:05
Speaker 2: that they just need a little bit more room, and
2:03:07
Speaker 2: you know, most people that have flown understand that it's
2:03:10
Speaker 2: a sensitive conversation that you have kind of away from
2:03:13
Speaker 2: everybody else. But there are times when you have to
2:03:15
Speaker 2: pay for an extra seat. And of course Southwest has
2:03:19
Speaker 2: been very accommodating in a lot of regards to this
2:03:22
Speaker 2: in the past, and they've kind of been their own
2:03:23
Speaker 2: worst enemy because now that they're tightening up the restrictions
2:03:26
Speaker 2: just a bit, there's a pushback and it becomes okay,
2:03:29
Speaker 2: this is all about revenue now. No, Southwest is kind
2:03:31
Speaker 2: of adopting the same policy every other carrier is doing
2:03:34
Speaker 2: and trying to be as sensitive as they can on it.
2:03:37
Speaker 2: I certainly don't have any problem with what they're doing,
2:03:40
Speaker 2: but again, because of how things have been in the past,
2:03:43
Speaker 2: now kind of translate it into Southwest Airlines not caring
2:03:47
Speaker 2: right now, that's to me not the case.
2:03:49
Speaker 1: Finishing up as we always do on hub delay. As
2:03:50
Speaker 1: little reluctant to ask the question, even given the TSA's
2:03:53
Speaker 1: problems we're facing here, but in so far as travel today,
2:03:56
Speaker 1: what's your take on at Jay.
2:03:57
Speaker 2: Ratlis weatherwise minor issue Minneapolis and maybe Detroit, and again
2:04:02
Speaker 2: I cite minor minor Miner's going to be a beautiful
2:04:04
Speaker 2: day to fly. However, we are still having pockets of
2:04:07
Speaker 2: some of the TSA lines being longer than expected. Now, look,
2:04:10
Speaker 2: we are very spoiled here at CBG, as you mentioned
2:04:12
Speaker 2: this morning when we let off, so a lot of
2:04:14
Speaker 2: people say, well, it's not that bad. So when they
2:04:16

Speaker 2: on vacation, trying to relax, worrying about you know, your
