Speaker 1: Five oh five. I think you've got KRC the talk station.
0:14
Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday, listen to Lunch Wednesday Snow's Lakeside Taverns will Yes, indeed,
0:34
Speaker 1: Danny Gleason, good to see you behind the board today,
0:36
Speaker 1: although the circumstances have me very down and troubled and
0:40
Speaker 1: leading me to a request my listening audience for those
0:43
Speaker 1: who believe in the power of prayer, and maybe those
0:45
Speaker 1: who don't even believe in it, can you give it
0:47
Speaker 1: a shot? Maybe help out Joe Strecker. Joe had a
0:49
Speaker 1: medical emergency yesterday. Do not have any details at all,
0:54
Speaker 1: but Joe is not here today and I am enlisting
0:57
Speaker 1: the services of anybody who is willing to help in
1:00
Speaker 1: terms of the power prayer. So please take a moment
1:02
Speaker 1: and pause and pray a moment for Joe Strecker and
1:06
Speaker 1: wish him the best of possible health. I certainly feel
1:09
Speaker 1: that way myself. Danny's nodding in approval with the big
1:11
Speaker 1: thumbs up. Thank you, Danny. If you care to call comment,
1:14
Speaker 1: I got election results in front of me. I hope
1:16
Speaker 1: you look interested in that. Because it is post primary
1:18
Speaker 1: Wednesday five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred
1:21
Speaker 1: eight hundred and eighty two to three talk pound five
1:23
Speaker 1: fifty on AT and T phones. Not real good for
1:25
Speaker 1: the school levies. That's one thing. I observe. No shock
1:29
Speaker 1: with vig Ramaswami overwhelmingly defeating Casey Putch, who had a
1:34
Speaker 1: melt down here on the fifty five Kersey Morning Show.
1:36
Speaker 1: A little upset about that that I try to interview him. Anyway,
1:40
Speaker 1: eighty two to seventeen looks like eighty two and a
1:43
Speaker 1: half to the seventeen and a half is where that
1:44
Speaker 1: one came out. V vig Ramaswamy on to November, and
1:48
Speaker 1: I think he's got a great shot of beating Amy Acton.
1:50
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to that debate. That's going to be
1:53
Speaker 1: a hell of a debate. I do have some of
1:57
Speaker 1: the Democrat wins too. Yeah, for these who voted for
2:00
Speaker 1: John Coolwitz for Attorney General, he's going to be the
2:04
Speaker 1: man in November. Democrat Secretary of State Alison Russo handily
2:11
Speaker 1: defeated Hambley. Anyway, over to the Robert Sprague over Sturbadge.
2:16
Speaker 1: You know, I had some high hopes for Marcel Sturbadge,
2:18
Speaker 1: and I honestly I feel we were in we were
2:20
Speaker 1: going to be in good hands whether Sturbage won or
2:22
Speaker 1: Sprague one. Sprague overwhelmingly defeated Marcel Sturbridge seventy to thirties.
2:28
Speaker 1: Where that one came out little I thought it would
2:30
Speaker 1: be closer to that, To be quite honest with that,
2:31
Speaker 1: I've heard a lot of people in my listening audience
2:33
Speaker 1: we're really back in Marcel Sturbage. But again I have
2:36
Speaker 1: no problem with Robert Sprague overall a treasurer's it's Jay
2:41
Speaker 1: Edwards at fifty three forty seven over Rogner. That was
2:44
Speaker 1: a tight one right there. Supreme Court Justice Colleen O'Connell
2:49
Speaker 1: walking away with thirty two percent of the vote, Andrew
2:52
Speaker 1: King coming into close second second Amendment man Andrew King
2:55
Speaker 1: is he got about thirty percent, She got thirty two,
2:58
Speaker 1: so two point variants on that. Lanzag are running in
3:01
Speaker 1: third place at just under twenty percent shared Brown of
3:04
Speaker 1: course walked away with that one. For US Senator Eric Conroy,
3:10
Speaker 1: that was one that was closely watched over Holly Adams,
3:13
Speaker 1: followed by Ogles b Henry. Conroy got seventy two percent
3:17
Speaker 1: of the vote, Holly Adams coming at second with just
3:20
Speaker 1: under twenty percent. Of course, you got Greg Lansman in
3:24
Speaker 1: the mix. There dump up eighth district that will be
3:27
Speaker 1: Enoch for the Democrats, tenth district that'll be Knickerbocker for
3:32
Speaker 1: the Democrats. And I got a whole bunch of other
3:35
Speaker 1: ones here that we can talk about. I mean, just
3:37
Speaker 1: the school levies. Though North College Hill fell fifty six
3:43
Speaker 1: point six y three said no dice on that one.
3:46
Speaker 1: Superintendent Blaylock said, the failing Lovey will mean the district
3:49
Speaker 1: will have to cut at least ten more teachers, five
3:51
Speaker 1: more educational legs. Educational or extracurricular programs may also be cut,
3:55
Speaker 1: like banded drama and athletics. New Richmond seventy percent oppose.
4:00
Speaker 1: That was an eight millli levee and that was wow.
4:05
Speaker 1: Seventy New Richmond said no with an exclamation point on
4:08
Speaker 1: that one. Apparently December last year, district submitted its fiscal
4:13
Speaker 1: precaution plan after voters there rejected at prior levee. Beck
4:19
Speaker 1: George Remember Beck George plant. Yeah, that closed in twenty fourteen.
4:22
Speaker 1: The Zimber plan closed in twenty twenty two, and those
4:24
Speaker 1: two plants were responsible for thirty seven percent of the
4:27
Speaker 1: revenue in New Richmond. Power closures have consquince is Mount
4:34
Speaker 1: Healthy passed congratulations. Mount Healthy fifty one point two four
4:39
Speaker 1: percent in favor. That was a real squeaker. They've been
4:42
Speaker 1: in a fiscal emergency since April twenty four. Fairfield fifty
4:47
Speaker 1: three point nine said no, so that one point twenty
4:51
Speaker 1: five percent school district earned income tax levee shot down
4:57
Speaker 1: for post cuts include eliminating school field trips, reducing elementary
5:01
Speaker 1: building hours, cutting eight custodial positions, reducing ten English learner
5:06
Speaker 1: tutor positions, and modifying the fee structure for extracurricular participation.
5:13
Speaker 1: The superintendent, though, said, we're going to do it again
5:16
Speaker 1: in the current months. District leadership will engage with bord
5:18
Speaker 1: of It engaged with the Board of Education regarding the
5:20
Speaker 1: possibility of future ballot issues, in which case those fail,
5:24
Speaker 1: then they're going to have to do further reduction. So
5:26
Speaker 1: school district's school levees not real popular in this election,
5:30
Speaker 1: as I noted, just a periphery actually a cursory scanning
5:33
Speaker 1: of the various levees around the various counties here most
5:37
Speaker 1: of them. I think she got shot down. No one's
5:39
Speaker 1: in the mood to pay more, and I certainly understand
5:43
Speaker 1: that let's see here. But Robert Sprague seventy to thirty
5:50
Speaker 1: O resturbhiche I mentioned that one. Jay Edwards over Rugner,
5:52
Speaker 1: I mentioned that one fifty three forty seven Supreme Court,
5:56
Speaker 1: I mentioned first district, congressional district lands. When I mentioned
5:59
Speaker 1: that one already, Eric Conroy mentioned, I was just trying
6:01
Speaker 1: to go through and see some of the ones that
6:02
Speaker 1: stood out. Maybe there's one or two you want to
6:04
Speaker 1: know about. Five, one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty five hundred,
6:07
Speaker 1: eight hundred and eighty two to three talked on five
6:09
Speaker 1: to fifty on at and t phones seventh district. State
6:12
Speaker 1: Senator Zach Haynes over Kim Luken's that was another one
6:15
Speaker 1: that I think a lot of my listeners were watching
6:17
Speaker 1: a little bit more closely. Let's see. Uh. Well, anyway,
6:22
Speaker 1: there you have it. Primarily, and then in terms of
6:24
Speaker 1: voter turnout, it's a banner year for the primary. At well,
6:33
Speaker 1: nineteen point nine percent of the voters in Hamilton County
6:36
Speaker 1: showed up, which apparently is a lot the most for
6:39
Speaker 1: an even year primary in the county since twenty twenty.
6:43
Speaker 1: Twenty three percent people showed up in twenty twenty, so
6:45
Speaker 1: nineteen point nine my friends in Warren County, twenty one
6:50
Speaker 1: point three percent showed up, twenty one point six in
6:53
Speaker 1: Butler County. Turnout for the City of Cincinnati. What's your guests,
7:02
Speaker 1: seventeen point four? Elections have consequences without a question. Okay,
7:18
Speaker 1: just I want to go through more of these races,
7:21
Speaker 1: and I just obviously with all the counties and the
7:23
Speaker 1: various races around, I don't know which ones mean the
7:26
Speaker 1: most of the folks. Oka over Warren County. We can
7:29
Speaker 1: dive into a couple of those. Eric Conroy mentioned, Zach Kynes,
7:33
Speaker 1: I mentioned Grossman. Tom Grossman over Mark Messer over Warren
7:37
Speaker 1: County Commissioner. Good morning, Warren County. Friends out there. Locksley
7:42
Speaker 1: over Hessley in the common please judge position over in
7:49
Speaker 1: Claremont County. What do we got here? M Becker over
7:55
Speaker 1: Genteel fifty five forty four for Auditor State Report, end
8:00
Speaker 1: of sixty second history Gene Schmidt. That was one that
8:03
Speaker 1: I heard from a lot of people on behind the
8:04
Speaker 1: scenes the Blue twenty two? Can they beat? Can Gene
8:07
Speaker 1: Schmidt defeat Dylan Blevins with the campaign ads that accused
8:11
Speaker 1: him suggested anyway he was a criminal of sorts Jean
8:14
Speaker 1: Schmidt coming in with sixty two and a half percent,
8:17
Speaker 1: Dylan Blevins thirty seven and a half. I guess advertising
8:21
Speaker 1: has consequences, you know. I woke up this morning thinking
8:24
Speaker 1: about Thomas Massey and last night was probably the most
8:29
Speaker 1: offensive back to back ad is competing advertising with Gowrain
8:34
Speaker 1: and Massy dueling commercials back and forth, and I suffered
8:37
Speaker 1: through a lot of them. And I woke up this
8:39
Speaker 1: morning thinking, well, at least I'll find out of Congressman Massy.
8:44
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, the Kentucky primary is a couple of
8:46
Speaker 1: weeks away, says, suck it up and deal with the advertising,
8:49
Speaker 1: or change channels or hit the mute button. Anyway. Congratulations
8:53
Speaker 1: to my friend Claire Corkoran, who remains in her position.
8:56
Speaker 1: Clairemont County Commissioner Claire corkran seventy three two point four percent. Claire,
9:01
Speaker 1: congratulations over and noe ed. Listen to ms mc Louisa McQueen.
9:06
Speaker 1: She got twenty six point six. It's not a criticism
9:09
Speaker 1: of her. I just some friends with Claire, and I'm
9:11
Speaker 1: glad that she has well won the race. Uh see
9:15
Speaker 1: proposed tax levy for New Richmond mentioned that one shot
9:18
Speaker 1: down in a huge way. Clairemont County Park District proposed
9:22
Speaker 1: levy renewal four fifty eight to forty one. That one passed.
9:27
Speaker 1: Senior Citizens Servants Services levey that passed fifty eight to
9:31
Speaker 1: forty one. Children's Services proposed levy these again against fifty
9:38
Speaker 1: three forty six. Developmental Disability proposed tax levee against sixty
9:44
Speaker 1: thirty nine. That one shot down. Uh Datavia Township unincorporated
9:49
Speaker 1: area proposed tax levee No. Fifty five forty four. Proposed
9:53
Speaker 1: tax levee Miami Township. That one passed fifty three forty six.
9:57
Speaker 1: There are some some levy's the past. I actually shocked
10:02
Speaker 1: that they did fifty two to forty eight for the
10:04
Speaker 1: Franklin Township proposed renewal and the liquor option Betavia. Of
10:09
Speaker 1: course it passed sixty six to thirty three. Just a
10:12
Speaker 1: handful of the races there. If does anything, we want
10:13
Speaker 1: to talk about it, Like I said, feel free to
10:15
Speaker 1: give me a call. Not a whole lot of surprises
10:17
Speaker 1: from my perspective. Five nineteen and then the post primary
10:25
Speaker 1: day here on the fifty five Parasee Morning Show five one, three, seven,
10:28

10:47
Speaker 1: Jack Avidan, they it's a regular Wednesday here in the
10:49
Speaker 1: fifty five Karasee Morning Show seven five with Jack Adiden,
10:52
Speaker 1: do not have a subject matter? Again, the absence of
10:54

11:13
Speaker 1: a Wednesday. Judge and an Apolitano at a thirty, Yeah,
11:16
Speaker 1: you got to take the good with the bad with
11:18
Speaker 1: free speech in his column, which I enjoy. Early Comy
11:22
Speaker 1: indictment and free speech. Talking about Comey's being indicted for
11:25
Speaker 1: that eighty six forty seven ridiculous, painful, stupid, insulting post.
11:32
Speaker 1: Is it free speech or can you be indicted for
11:34
Speaker 1: something like that? Well, you can be indicted. You can
11:35
Speaker 1: indict a ham Sandwich, right, Remember, except here in Hamilton
11:38
Speaker 1: County where a felony threatening a judge life and the
11:41
Speaker 1: judges family's lives, that only will net you a misdemeanor,
11:44
Speaker 1: in spite of the fact that with multiple witnesses it
11:46
Speaker 1: did constitute a felony.
11:48
Speaker 2: Hm hm.
11:49
Speaker 1: Anyhow, going back to elections have consequences. You'll have an
11:52
Speaker 1: opportunity to vote in November for some really really decent
11:54
Speaker 1: judges on the Republican side of the judicial ledger, I
11:58
Speaker 1: strongly encourage you not to vote for the Democrat judges,
12:00
Speaker 1: or maybe they'll just let people out on the streets
12:02
Speaker 1: who deserve to be behind bars for long periods of time. There,
12:05
Speaker 1: got that out of my system, and the trend continues.
12:10
Speaker 1: Living away from the election results. Two different stories here
12:12
Speaker 1: reflecting the same thing. We've been talking about this a lot,
12:14
Speaker 1: observing and had the big conversation yesterday about this, talking
12:18
Speaker 1: about the political dynamic Hamilton County, So blew, I guess
12:22
Speaker 1: that the Republicans didn't even bother fielding a whole bunch
12:24
Speaker 1: of judicial candidates in the primary, not a single one
12:27
Speaker 1: in a whole bunch of races, and you you scratch
12:29
Speaker 1: your head over that it has the Republicans just pulled
12:31
Speaker 1: the plug and given up completely, which resulted in a
12:34
Speaker 1: couple of comments from a former Anderson Township elected official
12:39
Speaker 1: commenting about how blue and how left leaning Anderson Township
12:43
Speaker 1: has become, and it kind of worried me. And the
12:45
Speaker 1: sort of suggestion is that people have left. The conservative
12:48
Speaker 1: folks that lived there have moved away. Armont County a
12:52
Speaker 1: destination for a lot of them. But that's a phenomenon
12:55
Speaker 1: that's going all across this country. And you ask yourself,
12:57
Speaker 1: why would someone move away? The answer is oppressive oppressive
13:00
Speaker 1: political climate. First off, the heavy taxation, the heavy regulatory burden.
13:04
Speaker 1: You can't make as much profit in some states in
13:07
Speaker 1: some areas as you can in others. Quality of life
13:10
Speaker 1: may be better in certain areas, but there's a lot
13:13
Speaker 1: of decision making that goes into that, and most decision making,
13:16
Speaker 1: insofar as corporate structure comes down to, well, can I
13:19
Speaker 1: survive until and make a profit in Chicago? Apparently Walgreens can't.
13:24
Speaker 1: They've closed a store there and this resulted in some
13:26
Speaker 1: really outrageous outbursts from some left leaning Democrat Aldermen. Walgreens
13:33
Speaker 1: citing safety concerns closing a Walmart star a Walmart Walmart store.
13:41
Speaker 1: Brian spit it out. William Hall Aldermen along with several
13:48
Speaker 1: community members had a news conference on this and they
13:51
Speaker 1: are angry that Walgreens is closing the store. Walgreens issued
13:55
Speaker 1: a statement previously in announcing the closure of the store.
13:57
Speaker 1: Despite a range of efforts, including previous operating adjustments, the
14:01
Speaker 1: ongoing safety challenges have made it increasingly difficult to maintain
14:05
Speaker 1: a secure environment for our team members and customers. While
14:08
Speaker 1: this was not an easy decision, safety must remain a
14:11
Speaker 1: top priority. Hey, the employees at that Walgreens store, they're
14:14
Speaker 1: gonna get to be able to transfer. They were given
14:16
Speaker 1: opportunities for jobs, so the jobs aren't gone, They've just
14:18
Speaker 1: moved out of that particular neighborhood. Now, what does Alderman
14:23
Speaker 1: Hall say about this? William Hall, Walgreens should be charged
14:26
Speaker 1: with first degree corporate abandonment. It should be a crime
14:31
Speaker 1: the way they're treating our elders. It should be a
14:34
Speaker 1: crime the way they're treating our families. Huh, he said.
14:40
Speaker 1: The community is not begging Walgreens to stay. We're not
14:43
Speaker 1: here to beg Walgreens to stay. We are saying that
14:46
Speaker 1: their decision is the wrong decision. In my Alderman Hall's opinion,
14:50
Speaker 1: it should be considered a first degree corporate crime. The
14:53
Speaker 1: number of elders who will not have access to healthcare
14:56
Speaker 1: is evil. Well, it's safety. Lots of crime, lots of theft,
15:04
Speaker 1: lots of you know, sort of takeovers which we see regularly.
15:08
Speaker 1: This has been going on San Francisco for a long time.
15:10
Speaker 1: Guess what. The stores closed in San Francisco because of
15:13
Speaker 1: the crime. Now, who's to blame here? No, there is
15:16
Speaker 1: no such thing as as corporate abandonment. That is not
15:22
Speaker 1: a legal challenge or a claim you can bring against
15:25
Speaker 1: the corporation for pulling the plug because they're losing money,
15:27
Speaker 1: hand over fist because people who go into the store
15:30
Speaker 1: rip them off. Offering a refreshing counter to Alderman Hall's
15:37
Speaker 1: position on this, you must be here, you can't leave.
15:42
Speaker 1: Let's turn to Alderman Raymond Lopez a Democrat. Yes, of
15:45
Speaker 1: course he is. He's in Chicago. Quote, where was that
15:50
Speaker 1: anger when the stores in our communities were under years
15:54
Speaker 1: and years of assault by criminals allowed to shoplift, vandalize,
15:57
Speaker 1: and destroy neighborhood institutions. Many leaders say it's simply an
16:01
Speaker 1: insurance matter. They are wrong. There are real world consequences
16:05
Speaker 1: for crime running rampant. This closure is the perfect example
16:09
Speaker 1: of that effect. Now pivot over and consider the number
16:12
Speaker 1: of companies that have pulled the plug on Los Angeles,
16:15
Speaker 1: San Francisco, and including Chicago and even New York because
16:18
Speaker 1: of crime. Their employees have to go to work day
16:21
Speaker 1: in to day out. If they're assaulted, they're confronted by panhandlers,
16:24
Speaker 1: homeless people, drug addicts, needles in the street, feces in
16:28
Speaker 1: the street. You know what, that's a safety concern for
16:31
Speaker 1: the employees. And therefore boards of directors and management make
16:35
Speaker 1: decisions looking out for the best interest of not only
16:38
Speaker 1: their company but their employees, and they leave Who's to
16:45
Speaker 1: blame for that, obviously the criminals, but also perhaps the
16:51
Speaker 1: administrations in those various cities. And we're not talking about
16:54
Speaker 1: conservative leading folks here, We're not talking about Republicans in charge.
16:59
Speaker 1: We're talking about democrat and the leaning of the left
17:02
Speaker 1: obviously going more and more socialists and whole this judicial reform,
17:06
Speaker 1: this criminal reform thing. Just let them out. It's not
17:09
Speaker 1: their fault they commit crimes. It's society's fault they commit crimes. Really, hum,
17:16
Speaker 1: how is it the vast majority of us can get
17:18
Speaker 1: along with our lives every single day and not go
17:20
Speaker 1: in and rip people off? Danny, you ever go and
17:25
Speaker 1: rip people off?
17:26
Speaker 3: No?
17:26
Speaker 1: That's not you, is it.
17:27
Speaker 2: No?
17:28
Speaker 1: Are you a corporate billionaire?
17:31
Speaker 4: No?
17:32
Speaker 1: Huh. So you need the paycheck sitting in the production
17:35
Speaker 1: booth there, but you're not stealing from other people? Now, okay,
17:40
Speaker 1: just checking with Danny, Just pulling the room here. The
17:43
Speaker 1: same thing is happening with corporations. But a lot of
17:45
Speaker 1: corporations are leaving simply because of the owner's tax burden
17:48
Speaker 1: and the regulatory burden. Oh and in Delaware, which used
17:50
Speaker 1: to be the capital of all corporations, that was where
17:54
Speaker 1: you went to incorporate your company a Delaware corporation used
17:58
Speaker 1: to be a great environment for corporates. In Delaware. The
18:02
Speaker 1: court system treated the corporations well. At least you had
18:05
Speaker 1: some you know, some foundation. You had a good idea
18:10
Speaker 1: of how you're going to be treated there. No, it's changed.
18:12
Speaker 1: The left has taken over Delaware. Left leaning judges have
18:16
Speaker 1: allowed plain this bar to go after corporations and file
18:19
Speaker 1: shareholder derivative suits on a whim. Guess who's leaving Delaware? Right?
18:24
Speaker 1: A huge, huge list of companies, most recently Dell Technologies
18:31
Speaker 1: pulled the plug on Delaware. Where are they going? Where's
18:34
Speaker 1: the climate better? What have we learned over the past
18:37
Speaker 1: couple of years about companies pulling the plug on California,
18:40
Speaker 1: New York, Illinois? Where are they going? Well, that was
18:43
Speaker 1: a good guess. Texas, Congratulations, Danny. You had two choices
18:48
Speaker 1: on that, when Texas or Florida? Right, this particular case,
18:50
Speaker 1: it's Texas. Five thirty one. I think abou KERCD talk
18:54
Speaker 1: station again shouting out for folks, prayerful, preyerful folks out
19:01
Speaker 1: there to help pray for Joe Strecker who has had
19:03
Speaker 1: a health issue yesterday. He is not here today and
19:06
Speaker 1: I am personally worried about Joe and hoping he recovers
19:10
Speaker 1: very quickly. I know, the show kind of kind of
19:13
Speaker 1: can go with Danny Gleeson in the production booth. But
19:16
Speaker 1: you know, without Joe the show don't go quite as well.
19:18
Speaker 1: So I'm feeling a bit out of sorts today worrying
19:20
Speaker 1: about Joe Strecker. And if you could help me pray
19:22
Speaker 1: for Joe, I would greatly appreciate that. So there's my
19:24
Speaker 1: top of the morning, top local story for the morning.
19:27
Speaker 1: And looking up, No Tom, I'm concerned. See, I have
19:30
Speaker 1: two reasons to be concerned. Less concerned about Tom because
19:33
Speaker 1: I haven't heard from Tom in terms of whether he's
19:36
Speaker 1: not called him because he's had some kind of medical issue. Anyway,
19:40
Speaker 1: here's one to freak me out. I saw this yesterday.
19:42
Speaker 1: A friend circulated it local news reporting Fox nineteen. In
19:46
Speaker 1: this particular case, although it may be reported elsewhere, several
19:48
Speaker 1: suspects armed with rifles tried to get into the Oakley
19:52
Speaker 1: Cinemak last week. Since I Police Department released the released
19:56
Speaker 1: photos of the suspects that they're trying to identify. This
19:58
Speaker 1: happened on May third. Courting the SINSI Police statement, several
20:04
Speaker 1: suspects involved were armed with rifles and made an attempt
20:06
Speaker 1: to enter the theater. That's all we got. Anybody with
20:11
Speaker 1: information about the suspects, please call Detective Blay at five
20:13
Speaker 1: one three nine nine forty four hundred. I think you
20:16
Speaker 1: can probably drop a dime to crimestoppers on that one.
20:19
Speaker 1: Why would a group of people armed with rifles want
20:23
Speaker 1: to break into the Oakley Cinemak? Did we just avoid
20:29
Speaker 1: a mass shooting? And I don't know how they were
20:31
Speaker 1: prevented from gaining entry, but props to whoever locked the door.
20:34
Speaker 1: I guess no more details on that at least as
20:36
Speaker 1: of right now. Highland County man in federal court yesterday
20:41
Speaker 1: charged with sexually exploiting miners from several states. Courted to
20:45
Speaker 1: Dominic Gracie, the second US Attorney for Southern District, Ohio.
20:48
Speaker 1: He said, Mark Chandler, thirty seven, charged with sexual exploitation
20:53
Speaker 1: of children, coercion and enticement, and receipt of child porn
20:57
Speaker 1: court documents. Highland County Sheriff's office got tip regarding this
21:02
Speaker 1: pervert November of last year. The office found that Chandler
21:04
Speaker 1: allegedly paid at least five girls, including girls in California, Texas,
21:08
Speaker 1: and Michigan, to engage in sexually explicit acts on video.
21:13
Speaker 1: They say connected with the girls all approximately fourteen years old.
21:17
Speaker 1: Various social media apps were used. Gracie said that Chandler
21:21
Speaker 1: groomed the girls for up to two years and he
21:23
Speaker 1: would pay them with Visa gift cards in exchange for
21:25
Speaker 1: these sexual videos and photos. He also threatened to kill
21:29
Speaker 1: at least one of the victims if she tattled on him.
21:32
Speaker 1: His word, that's the court of his screen recordings and
21:35
Speaker 1: messages on his electronic devices. Messages showed Chandler talked about
21:38
Speaker 1: drowning the girl or using knives to cut her throat. Danny,
21:43
Speaker 1: could you find the Biggest Douche of the Universe award
21:45
Speaker 1: and queue that one up here. According to Gracie, Chandler,
21:47
Speaker 1: who was originally arrested on local charges in Highland County,
21:50
Speaker 1: facing decades in prison if he's convicted sexual exploitation of children,
21:56
Speaker 1: a federal crime punishable by at least fifteen years, version
22:00
Speaker 1: of enticement separate crimes punishable by at least ten years
22:03
Speaker 1: and up to life in prison. Well, assuming he's convicted
22:08
Speaker 1: beyond a reasonable doubt, he's going to spend a lot
22:10
Speaker 1: of time in prison. Danny had a computer lock up. Well,
22:16
Speaker 1: my regular listeners can probably sing the song in their head, Danny,
22:19
Speaker 1: We all know about that one's that's our local award
22:21
Speaker 1: winner and I hate to see him local. But then again,
22:23
Speaker 1: in terms of this kind of conduct, hate to see
22:25
Speaker 1: it anywhere I encounter it. Good luck in prison, buddy,
22:28
Speaker 1: assuming you're convicted. Long well documented history of how pedophiles
22:35
Speaker 1: are treated in prison, and they deserve every bit they get.

28:09
Speaker 5: to one again.
28:10
Speaker 1: Here since someday we'll see you, Tom. And have you

28:40
Speaker 1: And yeah it's a little little loop, yep, yeah, a
28:43
Speaker 1: little loop.
28:43
Speaker 5: So anyway, I'm gonna be I'm gonna be hammering the
28:48
Speaker 5: words stupid, uh leading up to this next election in November,
28:52
Speaker 5: because you know, first of all, one out of five
28:55
Speaker 5: people give a crap enough to uh to actually vote.
29:00
Speaker 5: That's kind of stupid, isn't it. I Mean, you're you're
29:03
Speaker 5: talking about the things that affect your life in a
29:06
Speaker 5: in a in a very significant way, and you don't
29:09
Speaker 5: you don't have it in you to figure out how
29:11
Speaker 5: to cast your vote. So some way, somehow, you know,
29:14
Speaker 5: like like I'm out of town and so when I
29:16
Speaker 5: was in town last weekend on a Friday, I was
29:18
Speaker 5: able to get to the Court of Elections. You know,
29:22
Speaker 5: do do what you gotta do. This stuff is is
29:25
Speaker 5: very impactful in your life. Whether it's the levees. We
29:28
Speaker 5: didn't have any in our in our area. But you know,
29:31
Speaker 5: the people that voted for the levees are voted against them.
29:34
Speaker 5: You know, they they actually give a crap enough to vote.
29:37
Speaker 5: So if you don't, if you're if you're those four
29:40
Speaker 5: out of five people who don't give a crap enough
29:42
Speaker 5: to vote, well you're stupid. Uh that is I mean,
29:46
Speaker 5: there's not a whole lot of things we have left
29:48
Speaker 5: that we can do to affect change in our governments
29:52
Speaker 5: and and what happens in our lives and our paychecks.
29:54
Speaker 5: That is one of them. And if you don't vote,

Speaker 1: Does that allow you to say eighty six forty seven?
34:44
Speaker 1: He's got a couple of criticisms about the prosecution of
34:46
Speaker 1: COMI and I would not personally want to be prosecuted
34:50
Speaker 1: for a little, you know, random comment online. You know,
34:54
Speaker 1: free speech comes with some noxious behavior, and you can
34:57
Speaker 1: be noxious and engage in free speech. And how many
35:02
Speaker 1: step back from that one? If I haven't seen the
35:05
Speaker 1: actual details of the indictment. But if eighty six forty seven,

35:28
Speaker 1: say yesterday, part of which dealt with the racial gerrymandering
35:32
Speaker 1: case from the Supreme Court. No, you can't use race
35:34
Speaker 1: to create specific race based jurisdictions. That's illegal. Now. The
35:38
Speaker 1: Supreme Court is on record pointing that out. Jason Riley
35:42
Speaker 1: op ed contributed to The Wall Street Journal a black man.
35:45
Speaker 1: I want to identify him as a black man up front,
35:47
Speaker 1: because I guess it gives some credibility to someone who
35:50
Speaker 1: has comments about racial issues. I think anybody could write
35:53
Speaker 1: the words of Jason Riley and I share his analysis
35:57
Speaker 1: of this racial jerimander in case. You can find the
35:59
Speaker 1: op ed yourself yourself caption, good riddens to racial gerrymandering.
36:04
Speaker 1: If there was any doubt Barack Obama proved that white
36:07
Speaker 1: voters are willing to support black candidates subtitled, and as
36:11
Speaker 1: he writes, the fainting spells in the left after last
36:14
Speaker 1: week's Supreme Court ruling in Louisiana versus Calais were probably
36:18
Speaker 1: were probably to be expected. Democrats these days reject colorblind
36:23
Speaker 1: public policies that they champion in a previous area era
36:27
Speaker 1: scoff at clear evidence of America's social racial progress. A
36:32
Speaker 1: court decision that reigns in racially gerrymandered voting districts checked
36:36
Speaker 1: both boxes. So it's no wonder that Democrat elites from
36:40
Speaker 1: Barack Obama on down are outraged. Obama wrote in response
36:45
Speaker 1: to the decision. Quote Today's Supreme Court decision effectively guts
36:48
Speaker 1: a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state
36:51
Speaker 1: legislatures to jerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken
36:57
Speaker 1: the voting power of racial minorities. Obama went on, and
37:02
Speaker 1: it serves as just one more example of how a
37:04
Speaker 1: majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its
37:07
Speaker 1: vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and
37:10
Speaker 1: protecting the rights of minority groups against minority overreach. Oh
37:14
Speaker 1: my god, is it that bad? Jason Riley, Jason Rally,
37:20
Speaker 1: what nonsense? He writes. Case before the Court concerned Luisiana's
37:25
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four decision, under pressure from the courts, to
37:29
Speaker 1: draw a congressional map that included a second majority black district.
37:36
Speaker 1: Supporters said the racial gerrymanner was necessary to comply with
37:39
Speaker 1: Section two of the Voting Rights Act the sixty five,
37:41
Speaker 1: which bars the use of qualifications, standards, or procedures that
37:46
Speaker 1: make it harder for minorities to cast a ballot. Notice
37:51
Speaker 1: the emphasis I put on that one to cast a ballot.
37:54
Speaker 1: Opponents contended that the map violated the Constitution's equal protection
37:58
Speaker 1: clause by voters based on race. Six to three ruling,
38:03
Speaker 1: the justices side with the challengers, saying Louisiana unlawfully discriminated
38:08
Speaker 1: by race when it created a second majority black district.
38:12
Speaker 1: All right, so Obama is pretending that the decision somehow
38:16
Speaker 1: threatens the black franchise. But it didn't touch Section two
38:20
Speaker 1: protections against efforts to restrict black voting. All the court
38:26
Speaker 1: did was scale back a judicially created doctrine based on
38:29
Speaker 1: the assumption the doctrine is based on the assumption that
38:33
Speaker 1: most white voters would never support a black candidate. The
38:37
Speaker 1: former president Barack Obama, of all people, should appreciate that
38:41
Speaker 1: this is no longer the case. Statistically. He knocks it
38:44
Speaker 1: out of the park on this one, folks. When Obama
38:46
Speaker 1: won the presidency in two thousand and eight, he secured
38:48
Speaker 1: a larger share of the white vote than the two
38:51
Speaker 1: previous nominees of his party, John Kerry in two thousand
38:55
Speaker 1: and four and Al Gore in two thousand. Hey, isn't
38:57
Speaker 1: that interesting? More white people voted for Obama than carried
39:03
Speaker 1: out Gore. That's great. Carried a majority of the white
39:05
Speaker 1: vote nearly all a third of the states. When he
39:09
Speaker 1: was re elected in twenty twelve, the black voter turnout
39:12
Speaker 1: rate exceeded white turnout, and today, black voter registration in
39:16
Speaker 1: the South, where black voters suppression was most pronounced in
39:19
Speaker 1: the Jim Crow era, is higher than in other regions
39:22
Speaker 1: of the United States. They have the ability to vote,
39:26
Speaker 1: and they have registered to vote in large numbers. Is
39:28
Speaker 1: the point. Arguably, Obama's race was more of a political
39:32
Speaker 1: advantage than a barrier to his success. Before his arrival
39:35
Speaker 1: and long before his arrival on the political scene, majority
39:38
Speaker 1: white electorates. Majority white electorates demonstrated a willingness to vote
39:44
Speaker 1: for black candidates. Carl Stokes, first black mayor of Cleveland
39:49
Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty eight, where most residents were white. Also
39:54
Speaker 1: true when Tom Bradley became the first black mayor of
39:57
Speaker 1: la in seventy three, and when David dinkin this one
40:00
Speaker 1: New York's mayor election in nineteen eighty nine, most of
40:04
Speaker 1: the residents were right white. The political website five thirty
40:08
Speaker 1: eight reported back in twenty twenty three that most black
40:12
Speaker 1: members of Congress no longer hail from majority black districts quote,
40:16
Speaker 1: which indicates that black representatives are winning more on multi
40:20
Speaker 1: racial or majority white turf. Where's the racism? The real
40:26
Speaker 1: reason Obama is upset with last week's ruling has nothing
40:30
Speaker 1: to do with voting rights and everything to do with
40:33
Speaker 1: the ability of Democrats to use the nineteen sixty five
40:35
Speaker 1: Act to gain a partisan advantage in drawing political maps.
40:40
Speaker 1: The Voting Rights Act was intended to ensure ballot access,
40:45
Speaker 1: not to ensure the election of black Democrats. Republicans and
40:50
Speaker 1: Democrats alike jockey to drawmacks maps to give them the
40:53
Speaker 1: edge on election day. It's unseemly because it amounts to
40:56
Speaker 1: the lawmakers choosing voters instead of the other way around.
40:59
Speaker 1: But it is lee goal. But what is illegal, as
41:02
Speaker 1: the court pointed out, throwing race into the map, drawing
41:06
Speaker 1: nips mixed absent specific evidence of discrimination, as Democrats have
41:12
Speaker 1: been doing for decades in the name of protecting the
41:14
Speaker 1: black vote. The irony is the racial gerrymandering probably has
41:20
Speaker 1: done more to throttle black political ambitions and deepen our
41:23
Speaker 1: political divisions, according to Abigail Threnstrom. She wrote in her
41:27
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine history of the nineteen sixty five
41:30
Speaker 1: Voting Rights Act, while the country has moved steadily, if unleaked, evenly,
41:36
Speaker 1: toward racial integration, the law has created a black political
41:40
Speaker 1: class two isolated from mainstream political discourse. Race based districts
41:46
Speaker 1: have kept black legislators clustered together on the sidelines of
41:51
Speaker 1: American political life, precisely the opposite of what the statute intended.
41:54
Speaker 1: That's her opinion, she's entitled to it, and Jason Riwley
41:57
Speaker 1: cited it. But under segregation, black America kins generally shared
42:01
Speaker 1: a common experience of being second class citizens. That's no
42:04
Speaker 1: longer the case, but the supporters of segregated voting districts
42:09
Speaker 1: and racial preferences in hiring and college admissions would have
42:12
Speaker 1: us believe that nothing has really changed. Racial germandering advocatesy
42:17
Speaker 1: today assume that black voters are essentially fungible and share
42:22
Speaker 1: identical political preferences. I say that slowly and pointedly, and
42:27
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of Christopher smitham and good morning Christopher Smitheman,
42:30
Speaker 1: black man who is an independent. But the Gerymanning advocates
42:36
Speaker 1: assume that all black voters are theirs Democrats period. Riley concludes,
42:42
Speaker 1: that's not only false but insulting, Amen, and the Supreme
42:47
Speaker 1: Court corrective couldn't come soon enough. Yes, it is insulting.
42:52
Speaker 1: I would say, as I pointed out many many times
42:55
Speaker 1: over the years, the idea that you know, if you vote,
42:59
Speaker 1: if you don't vote Democrat, you ain't black. Coming from
43:02
Speaker 1: white guy Joe Biden. I'd like to think a lot
43:07
Speaker 1: of my black friends out there, regardless of political stripe,
43:10
Speaker 1: sort of reacted that with the audacity of him to
43:14
Speaker 1: suggest that am I not a free person and free
43:17
Speaker 1: to exercise my own political judgment? And will am I
43:21
Speaker 1: personally being served by the Democrats that Joe Biden says
43:25
Speaker 1: I must vote for and I know quite a few
43:28
Speaker 1: black people who would definitely react that way. It's six
43:39
Speaker 1: twenty one, if it's my fair City talk station five one, three, seven,
43:42
Speaker 1: nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to
43:44
Speaker 1: three talk him five fifty on AT and T phone. Steve,
43:47
Speaker 1: thanks so much for holding over the break there. Welcome
43:49
Speaker 1: to the program.
43:50
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, you and I have budded heads the last
43:54
Speaker 2: six months or so. A little bit about Thomas Massey.
43:57
Speaker 2: I live in Independence, so he's my representative of and
44:01
Speaker 2: I was just so fed up when the Republicans needed
44:04
Speaker 2: that one vote and weren't getting it, and I decided
44:08
Speaker 2: I wasn't going to vote for him. But I have
44:10
Speaker 2: changed my mind. My wife and I will now vote
44:13
Speaker 2: for him. And maybe it takes a little time just
44:16
Speaker 2: to get over the initial anger. He's been a good
44:19
Speaker 2: representative for us. There is a frustration, and you know
44:23
Speaker 2: the biggest reason that I will support him and not Gaulreen.
44:30
Speaker 2: You have Massy on your show, I think once a
44:32
Speaker 2: month for a half hour or twenty minutes, but whatever.
44:36
Speaker 2: Obviously his opponent could request equal time. Oh yeah, I'm
44:42
Speaker 2: guessing you haven't been contacted by him. He is flying
44:46
Speaker 2: so far under the radar. I don't even know what
44:48
Speaker 2: his voice sounds like. And I've not heard anything from
44:52
Speaker 2: him anywhere, with.
44:54
Speaker 1: The exception of quote I'm ed and I approve this.
44:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, but nothing, nothing important. And uh so I just
45:03
Speaker 2: wanted to throw some positive stuff at you. I mean,
45:06
Speaker 2: sometimes it takes a little you know, you get angry
45:08
Speaker 2: and you know, and then you sit back and reflect
45:12
Speaker 2: and I've changed my mind.
45:14
Speaker 1: So well, I'm glad, you know, to these I had
45:16
Speaker 1: anything to do with it. I think he made the
45:18
Speaker 1: right choice. I know Ed Gowering served his country. He
45:21
Speaker 1: is a combat veteran, well decorated, but beyond that, I
45:23
Speaker 1: don't really know what his experience is or what he
45:26
Speaker 1: brings to the table. Connors from Thomas Massey at least
45:29
Speaker 1: embraces and appreciates and upholds his his his sworn oath
45:33
Speaker 1: to the Constitution of the United States of America. I
45:36
Speaker 1: don't think you can find a single politician who is
45:38
Speaker 1: more committed to the Constitution than Thomas Massey. But he's
45:42
Speaker 1: also and more fundamentally for me, a deficit hawk. And
45:45
Speaker 1: we've got a real problem on her half. You haven't
45:47
Speaker 1: seen there, Stee, with our with our spending. And that's
45:50
Speaker 1: why Thomas mass I.
45:51
Speaker 2: Mean, I remember when I was a kid hearing about it.
45:54
Speaker 2: That's nothing new. Oh yeah, you know, yeah that that
45:58
Speaker 2: good luck on that one.
45:59
Speaker 1: I know. But we are running into a genuine threat,
46:02
Speaker 1: and at least Massey is the voice in the room
46:04
Speaker 1: that makes people have to pay attention to the reality
46:07
Speaker 1: that that is a huge issue and they've all turned
46:11
Speaker 1: their backs on our financial our fiscal stability here. I
46:14
Speaker 1: appreciate Steve, and I hope Thomas Massey wins, and I
46:18
Speaker 1: hope maybe your one vote pushes him over the top.
46:22
Speaker 1: It'll ouse there you go, Thank you, Steve. I don't
46:26
Speaker 1: mind arguing with listeners. I don't mind going back and forth.
46:29
Speaker 1: I don't mean any disrespect whatsoever. I've got opinions and
46:32
Speaker 1: conclusions and other people have them as well. I mean
46:35
Speaker 1: Jay called in the other day. We kind of had
46:36
Speaker 1: a spot on the air and argue back and forth,
46:38
Speaker 1: and I'm just looking at it from a practical position. Look,
46:41
Speaker 1: this is what we were left with in terms of
46:43
Speaker 1: who we can vote for. And since I can't change that,
46:46
Speaker 1: I'm not going to scream and lament and moan that's
46:49
Speaker 1: some more conservative, more fiscally responsible person or whatever isn't
46:52
Speaker 1: the Republican Party nominee. You know, sometimes you got a
46:56
Speaker 1: primary where you can make a choice. By the way,
46:58
Speaker 1: vive Ramaswamy overwhelming beat his competitor in the primary, I
47:02
Speaker 1: mean overwhelmingly, Sorry, Casey. But if you got a choice,
47:08
Speaker 1: then you have a choice and you can make a vote.
47:10
Speaker 1: But if you don't have a choice and there's one
47:11
Speaker 1: guy running there, there's really nothing you can do but
47:13
Speaker 1: vote for that guy, because voting for the Democrat would
47:16
Speaker 1: be a huge mistake. And real quick here, speaking of
47:21
Speaker 1: the deficit, you know, Thomas Massey really is concerned as
47:24
Speaker 1: am I. We're already one hundred percent of GBT on
47:26
Speaker 1: debt service. Congressional Budget Office now estimating that we are
47:31
Speaker 1: going to accumulate more than twenty four trillion in additional
47:35
Speaker 1: debt over the next ten years, leading us to fifty
47:38
Speaker 1: six trillion dollars with debt service at that's one hundred
47:42
Speaker 1: and twenty percent of estimated GDP in ten years twenty
47:47
Speaker 1: five years ago. Interest payments we're two percent of GDP
47:51
Speaker 1: this year, three point three ten years from now four
47:53
Speaker 1: point six translated into dollars, we now spend a trillion annually.
47:57
Speaker 1: That's our interest payment like your credit card bill. Twenty
48:01
Speaker 1: thirty six will be spending two point one trillion, nineteen
48:04
Speaker 1: percent of the total federal budget. And ten years from now,
48:08
Speaker 1: more than two out of every three dollars that we borrow,
48:13
Speaker 1: we'll be going to finance interest on the debt. Who's
48:15
Speaker 1: got a loanus money? Can I ask that sign a
48:17
Speaker 1: simple question out loud? And can you imagine borrowing money
48:22
Speaker 1: to cover the interest payment on your credit card debt? Yeah?
48:26
Speaker 1: Is that sound fiscal policy from your perspective? And no,
48:30
Speaker 1: you do not need to be an economist to appreciate that. No,
48:33
Speaker 1: it's not. It's a train wreck. And see one of
48:37
Speaker 1: the only few people that is in elected elected capacities,
48:40
Speaker 1: Thomas Massey, that cares about that. Thank god, he's there
48:43
Speaker 1: bringing the issue up and reminding all of us of
48:46
Speaker 1: the problem that we face. Six twenty six Alex Chantafilo
48:50
Speaker 1: Next six thirty one and fifty five Karaseed Talk Station
48:54
Speaker 1: EMPY Wednesday Hoopseet Listener lunch today it snow's lakeside tavern
48:58
Speaker 1: And again, please pray for Joe Strucker had a medical
49:00
Speaker 1: emergency yesterday, so he is not in and I'm hoping
49:03
Speaker 1: for his speedy recovery. And I'm pleased to hear from
49:06
Speaker 1: Alex Charantefilo, head of the High Republican Party. And congratulations
49:09
Speaker 1: Alex Trantefilo sixty one to thirty nine yesterday for State
49:13
Speaker 1: Central Committee, besting Kurt Hartman. And Alex. Good to have
49:15
Speaker 1: you back on the show. It's been a while, sir, Brian.
49:19
Speaker 6: Good to be with you, and I got to tell
49:20
Speaker 6: you I'm sorry to hear about our friend Joe. I
49:22
Speaker 6: just just pick it up on that, so we'll keep
49:24
Speaker 6: a good thought for Joe Strecker. But thanks for having
49:26
Speaker 6: me on, Brian.
49:27
Speaker 1: I love talking with you. I appreciate you your willingness
49:29
Speaker 1: to speak with me in the listening audience here this morning.
49:31
Speaker 1: Your reaction, just generally speaking of yesterday's primary results, I
49:35
Speaker 1: turn out. Some were saying turnout was really high since
49:38
Speaker 1: we got basically twenty percent of the voters to actually
49:40
Speaker 1: show up. Although I still view that as pathetic, Alex,
49:43
Speaker 1: but it is what it is. And your your reactions
49:46
Speaker 1: to some of the races and him stand out. Viv
49:48
Speaker 1: ramas on me obviously walked away with it eighty two
49:51
Speaker 1: to seventeen percent for vv.
49:55
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, we feel very good, very bullish actually
49:58
Speaker 6: at the Republican Party and Brian, Look, I'm real us
50:00
Speaker 6: thick about midterm elections. I know what the numbers are,
50:03
Speaker 6: I know what the polling is. You know, we see
50:05
Speaker 6: these things routinely. Midterms are generally a challenge for the
50:08
Speaker 6: party in power. But the safany Ohio Republican Party this
50:12
Speaker 6: morning is very strong. We did make an endorsement in
50:15
Speaker 6: the Vike Ramaswami race, who joined with President Trump and
50:18
Speaker 6: doing so, the Vike really never had a real primary,
50:21
Speaker 6: Let's just be honest about that. So if he won
50:23
Speaker 6: every single county last night, want an overwhelming majority of
50:27
Speaker 6: the vote, you know, more than eighty percent of the
50:29
Speaker 6: vote in his primary. And you know, if you look
50:32
Speaker 6: at the numbers, we turned out a bigger raw number
50:34
Speaker 6: of Republican voters last night to the Democrats state wives.
50:37
Speaker 6: And so that's good news for us. Look, we've got
50:41
Speaker 6: our work cutout for us in the fall. It's to
50:43
Speaker 6: turn out our vote. That's our number one challenge in
50:46
Speaker 6: twenty twenty six is to turn out a massive number
50:49
Speaker 6: of Republican votes, and you know, we've got many strategies
50:52
Speaker 6: to do that from you know, the next one hundred
50:54
Speaker 6: and eighty days, and I you know, I feel very
50:56
Speaker 6: good about it. And as it relates to my race,
50:58
Speaker 6: I thank you for your kind work. You know, we
51:01
Speaker 6: worked hard, and I'm glad to be a victorious in
51:03
Speaker 6: my state central race.
51:05
Speaker 1: Well, and you know, I wish you all the best,
51:06
Speaker 1: and I know you try to do your best to
51:08
Speaker 1: represent well. And sometimes, Alex, I gotta be honest with you.
51:12
Speaker 1: I feel like I want to apologize for you, because
51:15
Speaker 1: quite often you personally will get some criticism from various
51:18
Speaker 1: listeners who call in and chime in on the topic,
51:20
Speaker 1: and I have to step back and say, listen, you
51:22
Speaker 1: know what I know about Alex and how he has
51:25
Speaker 1: to run his job or kind of two different things.
51:28
Speaker 1: But he can't be critical of Republicans. It's sort of
51:30
Speaker 1: like it's a line that you can't cross. Yes, there
51:33
Speaker 1: are various factions within the Republican Party. Some people call
51:36
Speaker 1: them rhinos and others call them yeah, whatever, But it's
51:39
Speaker 1: your Republican party and you have to deal with all
51:43
Speaker 1: facets within the umbrella of Republican I imagine you find
51:46
Speaker 1: that job to be challenging from time to time. Alex.
51:50
Speaker 6: Look, I've been a party chairman for a long time,
51:53
Speaker 6: first at the county level and then at the state
51:56
Speaker 6: and I know that job as well as anybody, and
51:58
Speaker 6: dare I say it modestly, as well as anybody in
52:01
Speaker 6: the country. I've just been a chairman. The chairman takes grief, Brian.
52:04
Speaker 6: It just comes with the job. I mean, you know,
52:06
Speaker 6: on any given day, people will call in and suggest
52:09
Speaker 6: that we've sold out the party to Donald Trump, and
52:12
Speaker 6: we're you know, we're we've walked away from the principles
52:14
Speaker 6: of the Republican Party. The next call will come in
52:17
Speaker 6: and it will suggest that we're a bunch of rhinos.
52:19
Speaker 6: I mean, you get it from both sides, you get
52:21
Speaker 6: it from all camps. That's just part of leadership. For me, personally,
52:25
Speaker 6: I'm not deterred by any of that. I love the
52:28
Speaker 6: Republican movement, I love the conservative movement. I'm motivated to
52:31
Speaker 6: do this, not, believe me, not out of any personal gain,
52:35
Speaker 6: but primarily out of a love of my country. And
52:39
Speaker 6: I believe that the conservative principles of the Republican Party
52:42
Speaker 6: are actively saving the country. I'll work with anybody that
52:46
Speaker 6: wants to work with me. But too many people, frankly,
52:48
Speaker 6: don't understand ultimately with the Republican Party as an entity,
52:52
Speaker 6: Briant is about. If you look at the Ohio Republican
52:55
Speaker 6: Party long before I got there, but especially frankly, during
52:58
Speaker 6: my three year tenure, we've had an incredible run of victories.
53:02
Speaker 6: We're designed to win races.
53:04
Speaker 1: We've won.
53:05
Speaker 6: We've beat Shared Brown, We've won the governor's race, every
53:08
Speaker 6: executive office. We have supermajorities in the House, in the Senate,
53:11
Speaker 6: we control six of seven of these Supreme Court races.
53:16
Speaker 4: So we win.
53:16
Speaker 6: We win in Ohio if the Ohio a Republican Party,
53:19
Speaker 6: and that's what I'm here to do. I'm here to
53:20
Speaker 6: help us win elections and use whatever skill and experience
53:24
Speaker 6: that I have to help us do that. And I
53:26
Speaker 6: look forward to doing that. We'll get past this primary
53:29
Speaker 6: primaries are what they are. They're ugly sometimes, but the
53:32
Speaker 6: adults in the political room, Brian, know that we have
53:34
Speaker 6: to come together.
53:35
Speaker 2: Now.
53:36
Speaker 6: We have one hundred and eighty days to push back
53:38
Speaker 6: on the socialist amy, acting to push back on this
53:42
Speaker 6: national move to win the United States Senate. We've got
53:44
Speaker 6: an elect John Houstead. Certainly the VAK is going to
53:48
Speaker 6: be very well positioned to be our next governor as
53:50
Speaker 6: a businessman and an outsider, really a dream voat candidate
53:53
Speaker 6: if you're really believe in conservative principles and an outsider,
53:57
Speaker 6: drain the swamp mentality the Vake. Robinson me, we'll bring that.
54:00
Speaker 6: So that's where we are today, and we're pretty pleased
54:03
Speaker 6: about it.
54:04
Speaker 1: You sound like it, and I'm I feel equally enthused
54:06
Speaker 1: here in Ohio. A little more concern on a national
54:09
Speaker 1: level given the war and the gas price increase, But
54:12
Speaker 1: I have a comment or two on that. Can I
54:13
Speaker 1: hold you over where you spend a few more minutes
54:15
Speaker 1: with my listeners and me after the break? Absolutely great.
54:21
Speaker 1: It is six forty one if you have Kerse the
54:23
Speaker 1: talk station right Thomas with Alex Trumppilo, head of Halet
54:28
Speaker 1: or head of the Hio Republican Party. I always wanted
54:30
Speaker 1: to say, Hamilton Kunty Republican Party because that's what you
54:32
Speaker 1: were for so long. But that allows me to ask
54:35
Speaker 1: a question. One of my listener friends had asked the question.
54:37
Speaker 1: I had it on my list of things to ask
54:38
Speaker 1: you anyway, I got to profess. I was Alex. I
54:41
Speaker 1: was a little disturbed at Hamilton County and all of
54:43
Speaker 1: the open spots no Republican judicial candidates on the primary.
54:48
Speaker 1: I mean, just if you held your hand up and
54:50
Speaker 1: say I will run for judge as a Republican, it
54:53
Speaker 1: was going to be unopposed at least had a chance
54:55
Speaker 1: to go into November and try. People have thrown in
54:58
Speaker 1: the towel. Is this a growing phenomena own or is
55:00
Speaker 1: this just Hamilton County? What do you see around the
55:02
Speaker 1: state and why won't Republicans run in these races?
55:07
Speaker 7: Yeah, so you're correct.
55:09
Speaker 6: It's been three years since I left that job ran
55:11
Speaker 6: as you know, But listen, I know just from osposis
55:13
Speaker 6: and the things that pick up, and you know I
55:15
Speaker 6: still still have a house here in Cincinnati and stuff.
55:18
Speaker 6: Any Way, all have to tell you that it's hard,
55:20
Speaker 6: and Brian, you're a uniquely a position to understand this
55:23
Speaker 6: as a lawyer in your own right. If you're practicing
55:25
Speaker 6: law and things are coming along well, and you know
55:27
Speaker 6: you have a good thriving practice, to step away and
55:31
Speaker 6: run in a race that feels unwinnable is a real
55:35
Speaker 6: is a real challenge, and it's hard to have your
55:37
Speaker 6: partners support that. It's hard to have your clients understand
55:41
Speaker 6: that you're not with them, you know, all the time
55:44
Speaker 6: when you're campaigning, and those kind of things really make
55:47
Speaker 6: it harder. And you know, again, Brian, I've been around
55:49
Speaker 6: long enough to remember when we as Republicans won everything
55:54
Speaker 6: in Hamilton County my first frankly ten years as the
55:57
Speaker 6: county chairman. You know, we did things like win back
56:00
Speaker 6: county commissioners and the Democrats.
56:01
Speaker 7: Et cetera.
56:02
Speaker 6: Democrats had the exact same problem. We would have judicial
56:05
Speaker 6: candidates unopposed. So there's a myth out there, Brian that
56:09
Speaker 6: maybe if people are listening to actually accept my response here,
56:13
Speaker 6: but that the party can simply walk in, tap you
56:16
Speaker 6: and make you run for office.
56:18
Speaker 3: That's just not right.
56:19
Speaker 7: That's not the way it works.
56:20
Speaker 6: And to get good qualified attorneys to run for these
56:24
Speaker 6: judicial spots when they have a healthy practice and anotherwise
56:28
Speaker 6: of good life, when they know that, you know, this
56:31
Speaker 6: county now is one of three or four in the
56:33
Speaker 6: states that's pretty decidedly blue, it's hard to get people.
56:36
Speaker 3: To do it.
56:37
Speaker 6: I think that's ultimately the answer. And while people may
56:40
Speaker 6: see that as a failure of the County Republican Party.
56:43
Speaker 6: You can do a lot of cajoling and arm twisting,
56:45
Speaker 6: and but you have to have people step up and
56:48
Speaker 6: actually agree to run. And that's the challenge, Brian, is
56:51
Speaker 6: that people just look at that race and they know
56:53
Speaker 6: it's a challenge for them, especially in the general election,
56:57
Speaker 6: so that they don't want to put themselves out there
56:58
Speaker 6: and you know, hurt their law practice and take time
57:02
Speaker 6: away from their family.
57:04
Speaker 1: I get all that, and I understand it. Now, assume
57:06
Speaker 1: you can find someone to run. Is it not possible?
57:09
Speaker 1: And there's a predicate for this question, because it sounds absurd.
57:11
Speaker 1: Is it not possible that Democrats might vote for a
57:14
Speaker 1: tough on crime Republican endorsed judge because here in Hamilton
57:18
Speaker 1: County we got a real problem with crime and a
57:20
Speaker 1: lot of it goes over to the prosecutor's office as
57:22
Speaker 1: well as the bench, which is very liberal. It's comprised
57:26
Speaker 1: of a bunch of left leaning judges who want to
57:28
Speaker 1: do whatever they believe to be criminal justice reform, which
57:30
Speaker 1: basically lets people out that have committed heinous crimes. You know,
57:34
Speaker 1: no bond. We've got people that are recidivous to keep
57:36
Speaker 1: getting let out. It's a revolving door of justice. I
57:39
Speaker 1: can see a Democrat going, you know what, No, Moss,
57:41
Speaker 1: I will not vote for one of these left leaning,
57:43
Speaker 1: woke judges anymore. Give me a heart on crime Republican
57:46
Speaker 1: because my neighborhood's going to hell in a handbasket. So
57:49
Speaker 1: that's possible. But if there's no one there to give
57:52
Speaker 1: them the option to Democrats, then they're stuck with the
57:55
Speaker 1: left leaning judge that they or that they ran for
57:59
Speaker 1: off is now pivoting over. You mentioned. Voter turnout in
58:03
Speaker 1: November is going to be critical here in Ohio for
58:05
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons. Let's look at the war. Gasoline
58:08
Speaker 1: prices have gone through the roof, and I struggle with
58:10
Speaker 1: the idea that gasoline prices are somehow going to cause
58:13
Speaker 1: a Republican to vote for some crazy loon, left wing
58:17
Speaker 1: socialist candidate because they're individually pissed off about the price
58:21
Speaker 1: of gas. Would I give up my values because the
58:23
Speaker 1: price has gone up on something and vote for someone
58:25
Speaker 1: who represents the antithesis of everything I believe. No way,
58:30
Speaker 1: and I can't believe that people would actually do that.
58:32
Speaker 1: But that's the suggestion Democrats are going to get a
58:34
Speaker 1: bunch of seats in Congress because well, Donald Trump, evil
58:37
Speaker 1: Orange man. Doesn't this come down to voter turnout? Alex,
58:42
Speaker 1: Will the Democrats actually win in November if the Republicans
58:45
Speaker 1: show up in large numbers?
58:49
Speaker 8: Yeah?
58:49
Speaker 6: He answered that. That's the final question. There is yes,
58:52
Speaker 6: And this is the challenge of really across the country.
58:55
Speaker 6: For us in Ohio, it's easy in twenty twenty four.
58:58
Speaker 6: We want everything with Donald Trump's style turnout in Ohio.
59:02
Speaker 6: We just have to do the very same thing here,
59:04
Speaker 6: and that is to remind people about what the stakes
59:07
Speaker 6: are in the race like this. You know, look, the
59:10
Speaker 6: Democrats are impeachment crazy. They will try to impeach President
59:14
Speaker 6: Trump if they have a chance. They did it last
59:16
Speaker 6: time they were in power. They did a couple three times.
59:19
Speaker 6: So we have to point out the stakes. You know,
59:21
Speaker 6: on gas prices, I actually am confident. If you look
59:25
Speaker 6: this morning breaking news here in the Wall Street Journal,
59:27
Speaker 6: the oil prices plunged overnight. Their talk of diplomacy, oil
59:31
Speaker 6: prices are going to go up and down. I feel
59:33
Speaker 6: like the gas prices will level off and come down and.
59:36
Speaker 1: Look they were Yeah.
59:37
Speaker 6: So anyway, the answer is we have to turn out
59:39
Speaker 6: our votes. We have to remind people. I want to
59:42
Speaker 6: can what you just said about principles, Brian, how they are,
59:46
Speaker 6: but you go to vote and to not abandon those principles.
59:50
Speaker 6: Because the price of gas went up because Donald Trump
59:52
Speaker 6: finally had the guts I'm not going to use the
59:55
Speaker 6: other word I want to use there, but he had
59:57
Speaker 6: the guts to take on the Iranian nuclear challenge. We've
1:00:00
Speaker 6: had president after president talk about it. One president finally
1:00:03
Speaker 6: said I've got to act. Yeah, so we're paying small
1:00:06
Speaker 6: price at the at the pump, yes, but ultimately those
1:00:09
Speaker 6: people cannot have a nuclear weapon. The President's been clear
1:00:12
Speaker 6: about that. So you know, I hope that resolved. I
1:00:14
Speaker 6: think it will. I think it will by Midsummer.
1:00:17
Speaker 1: Well, and you know, the Republicans are on the side,
1:00:19
Speaker 1: on the right side of so many eighty twenty issues,
1:00:21
Speaker 1: you know, but that's how Donald Trump got elected. He
1:00:24
Speaker 1: was on the right side of all these important issues,
1:00:26
Speaker 1: including issues that are important to Democrats. Who was on
1:00:28
Speaker 1: the right side because a lot of Democrats feel the
1:00:30
Speaker 1: same way that you know, Republicans do. In so far
1:00:31
Speaker 1: as maybe border security and illegal immigration, the LGBTQ plus
1:00:35
Speaker 1: plus plus plus argument, you know, we just go on
1:00:39
Speaker 1: and on. It just blows my mind that these left,
1:00:41
Speaker 1: these further and further Zorhan Mandami type democrats are getting
1:00:46
Speaker 1: elected and that they can beat they can best a challenger.
1:00:49
Speaker 1: I live in a strange world. Going back to your point,
1:00:52
Speaker 1: I too remember the day when Hamilton County was blood red.
1:00:55
Speaker 1: The world's a different place, Alex, and we got to
1:00:57
Speaker 1: do something to stop this tidal wave of left.
1:01:02
Speaker 6: Well, I agree completely. And look that's what I wake
1:01:05
Speaker 6: up thinking about every single day and what we're doing
1:01:07
Speaker 6: here in Ohio. And I won't get going into the
1:01:09
Speaker 6: nitty gritty, but we have an incredible data set, Brian,
1:01:12
Speaker 6: that we know who the people are who stay home.
1:01:15
Speaker 6: That's how good the sort of political science is in
1:01:18
Speaker 6: the year twenty twenty six. We know those people that
1:01:21
Speaker 6: we have to talk to, so we intend to knock
1:01:23
Speaker 6: their doors, send them a tech, deliver them mail, call
1:01:27
Speaker 6: them and urge them to get out. And if you're
1:01:29
Speaker 6: listening today you're worried about a big Democrat wave, a
1:01:33
Speaker 6: blue wave here in November, you can help us. You
1:01:36
Speaker 6: can really help us by making sure that you tell
1:01:38
Speaker 6: everybody in your orbit to get out and vote. Make
1:01:40
Speaker 6: sure your family's properly registered, and go on your social media,
1:01:44
Speaker 6: your Twitter, your Facebook, your LinkedIn, whatever, and remind everyone
1:01:47
Speaker 6: that this election cannot be one that we sit out.
1:01:50
Speaker 6: So if we turn out a massive number of votes,
1:01:53
Speaker 6: we can win and defy history. When I say define history,
1:01:56
Speaker 6: I mean you know, we know that midterm's gonna be
1:01:59
Speaker 6: tough at the party power, So right, that's it. The
1:02:01
Speaker 6: stakes are very high, Brian, very high.
1:02:03
Speaker 1: Very high. But a note of optimism. I detected that
1:02:06
Speaker 1: in your voice, Alex Charataphila. We will talk again soon,
1:02:08
Speaker 1: I hope. Keep up the great work and congratulations on
1:02:11
Speaker 1: the victory, and we'll see how things go as we
1:02:14
Speaker 1: fast approach November, Alex, have a wonderful week and weekend, sir,
1:02:18
Speaker 1: God bless you, Brian, Thanks so much and you sir.
1:02:21
Speaker 1: Six fifty three here fifty five kro CD talk station
1:02:27
Speaker 1: after the time of the hour news Jack Atherton with
1:02:31
Speaker 1: a big picture. Since Joe is out, and again I've
1:02:33
Speaker 1: been asking folks to pray for Joe. Strekker had a
1:02:35
Speaker 1: medical emergency yesterday. Do not have any details on the
1:02:39
Speaker 1: nature and scope of it, but he did get to
1:02:42
Speaker 1: have to get rushed off over to the emergency room.
1:02:44
Speaker 1: So please give Joe a shout out in your prayers. Thanks,
1:02:47
Speaker 1: thank you very much for doing so, and that as
1:02:49
Speaker 1: a consequence of Joe and I being here, I don't
1:02:51
Speaker 1: know what Jack Adadan wants to talk about. But you know,
1:02:53
Speaker 1: if you've ever heard Jack speak, it's always brilliant. It's
1:02:56
Speaker 1: always you know, woven history along with some commentary about
1:02:59
Speaker 1: what's going on in the world right now, and what
1:03:01
Speaker 1: is going on in the world right now. Real quick.
1:03:02
Speaker 1: It was only one day and I honestly I have
1:03:05
Speaker 1: no idea what this is all about. Project Freedom, Trump
1:03:07
Speaker 1: called it over the weekend. Details were kind of sketchy,
1:03:10
Speaker 1: but he was going to provide some sort of barrier
1:03:12
Speaker 1: with US military to help ships get ferried through the
1:03:15
Speaker 1: quote unquote closed straight to horror moves. So yesterday he
1:03:21
Speaker 1: stopped it after only one day of this so called,
1:03:24
Speaker 1: you know, operation Project Freedom. Trump said he was now
1:03:29
Speaker 1: pausing this operation after a request by the mediator from
1:03:33
Speaker 1: Pakistan as well as some other countries, as it's been reported,
1:03:37
Speaker 1: saying that great progress, this is his words, great progress
1:03:40
Speaker 1: has been made toward complete and final agreement. We have
1:03:44
Speaker 1: mutually agreed that while the blockade will remain in force.
1:03:47
Speaker 1: That will be the blockade of the Iranian ports project.
1:03:52
Speaker 1: Freedom will be paused for a short period of time
1:03:54
Speaker 1: to see whether or not the agreement can be finalized
1:03:57
Speaker 1: and signed. I think that is why the market has
1:03:59
Speaker 1: reacted in the oil prices have dropped. Now, if you're
1:04:02
Speaker 1: a poly market or betting fan, and you can literally
1:04:04
Speaker 1: bet on anything these days, a lot of people have
1:04:06
Speaker 1: been pointing out, you know, the best indicator are the experts.
1:04:10
Speaker 1: The pay people who typically win in these types of
1:04:13
Speaker 1: gambles are folks that are steeped in knowledge and in
1:04:17
Speaker 1: the know. Isn't the best polymarket out there all of
1:04:21
Speaker 1: the stock markets themselves. When you have institutional investors in
1:04:26
Speaker 1: charge of trillions of dollars in investments and a fuduciary
1:04:30
Speaker 1: obligation to those who've entrusted their money with these investors,
1:04:33
Speaker 1: they're making their buys and sells and trades based upon
1:04:39
Speaker 1: what they perceive to be in the future. And nobody
1:04:42
Speaker 1: can read the tea leaves better, I would argue, than
1:04:44
Speaker 1: the market. And if the market isn't overreacting and the
1:04:47
Speaker 1: market hasn't dropped twenty five percent, which some said it
1:04:49
Speaker 1: was going to happen as soon as we started dropping
1:04:51
Speaker 1: bombs on the Iranians in this second wave or this
1:04:53
Speaker 1: war we're in right now, paused as it may be,
1:04:57
Speaker 1: but if the market didn't react, doesn't that suggest to
1:04:59
Speaker 1: you that a lot of really, really really smart money
1:05:02
Speaker 1: people out there think it's going to be resolved rather soon.
1:05:06
Speaker 1: I think it does. I'd like to hope that they're right.
1:05:11
Speaker 1: I'm pretty damn happy that my investments haven't gone into
1:05:15
Speaker 1: the toilet, been up and down that road a lot
1:05:17
Speaker 1: of times over the years, hasn't happened yet right now,
1:05:19
Speaker 1: and so that leads me to a little bit of optimism.
1:05:22
Speaker 1: As we get closer to November, you get this war
1:05:24
Speaker 1: situation out of the way, and oh my god, can
1:05:26
Speaker 1: you imagine if Donald Trump emerges as the victorious party
1:05:33
Speaker 1: in this, if he gets the rid of the nuclear
1:05:35
Speaker 1: program in Iran, if that brings about stability in the
1:05:39
Speaker 1: Middle East, He'll be held as a global hero. And wow,
1:05:44
Speaker 1: I can only imagine the heartache and psychological problems the
1:05:49
Speaker 1: Democrats are going to have if Donald Trump scores yet
1:05:51
Speaker 1: another win in that regard. Six point fifty six Right now,
1:05:54
Speaker 1: Jack Aviden, after the top of the our news. I
1:05:56
Speaker 1: hope you can stick around seven six Happy Wednesday listener,
1:06:16
Speaker 1: lunch Snow's Lakeside Tavern. Hope to see you there. And
1:06:19
Speaker 1: as I have been starting out and bringing up from
1:06:22
Speaker 1: time to time. Before we get to Jack addid in
1:06:23
Speaker 1: pause for a moment, please extend your prayers and positive
1:06:27
Speaker 1: thoughts for Joe Strecker who struggled with a medical emergency yesterday.
1:06:29
Speaker 1: He's not here today or praying for his swift recovery.
1:06:34
Speaker 1: Got to get him back in the executive producer booth.
1:06:36
Speaker 1: Although Danny Gleeson is doing a great job covering for
1:06:38
Speaker 1: Joe Strecker, But prayers for Joe Strecker and welcome back.
1:06:41
Speaker 1: It's time for the big Picture with Jack Adverton. It's
1:06:44
Speaker 1: a pleasure to have you back on the show as
1:06:45
Speaker 1: it is every week, Jack Adidan, Welcome.
1:06:47
Speaker 7: Back, Brian. All fans of your show, and I'm chief
1:06:52
Speaker 7: among them, are praying for a super producer Joe and
1:06:57
Speaker 7: we hope he's going to be back soon. But most
1:06:59
Speaker 7: of all, Bravery is gonna stay healthy. All right, Well,
1:07:02
Speaker 7: let's smile so that we can lighten things up a little.
1:07:05
Speaker 7: In one of the funniest movies of all time mel
1:07:09
Speaker 7: Brooks's original version of the Producers with Zera Mistelle and
1:07:13
Speaker 7: Gene Wilder. Yeah, you remember hippie Adolph Adolf Hitler played
1:07:20
Speaker 7: by Dick Sewan as a hippie things This one on
1:07:25
Speaker 7: one is two two and two is Paul. I'm feeling
1:07:28
Speaker 7: so bad because we're losing the war until the FIRA
1:07:32
Speaker 7: calls for his Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Gerbels and asks Joey,
1:07:37
Speaker 7: why didn't you just tell the people? I told them
1:07:40
Speaker 7: we invaded England and happy do Joey? We won? Of course,
1:07:47
Speaker 7: Hitler's propaganda could not convince the German people for long,
1:07:51
Speaker 7: not with Allied bombs reducing Berlin to rubble and sending
1:07:55
Speaker 7: to Ferra and his underground bunker mates. Just like the
1:07:59
Speaker 7: propagand and the Minister to suicide, they both committed suicide.
1:08:04
Speaker 7: Mel Brooks Hitler mirrors what's going on right now with Iron.
1:08:09
Speaker 7: The Democrat media is gleefully telling Americans that the Mullahs
1:08:13
Speaker 7: and the Revolutionary God are winning. Secretary of War has
1:08:18
Speaker 7: set to responded in biblical terms, accusing safe news reporters
1:08:23
Speaker 7: of being pharisees. But the history of Lyne goes back
1:08:28
Speaker 7: way before the New Testament. The very first lie was
1:08:31
Speaker 7: sold to the very first woman, not by Adam. He
1:08:35
Speaker 7: did not go on a dating app and claim I'm
1:08:38
Speaker 7: six foot two and everyone mistakes me for Brad Pitt. Now,
1:08:42
Speaker 7: the first lie was sold by the serpent. God ordered Adam,
1:08:47
Speaker 7: you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge
1:08:49
Speaker 7: of good and evil, for when you eat from it,
1:08:52
Speaker 7: you will certainly die. But the crafty serpent is sure
1:08:56
Speaker 7: to Eve you won't die. Girl. God does want you
1:09:00
Speaker 7: to eat that scrumptious fruit, because if you do, you'll
1:09:03
Speaker 7: be like God. Well, the upshot was that God condemned
1:09:08
Speaker 7: serpents thereafter to crawl on the earth and be the
1:09:11
Speaker 7: lowliest of all animals, and Adam and Eve did eventually
1:09:16
Speaker 7: die after they were expelled from Eden. As Archie Bunker quoted, God,
1:09:21
Speaker 7: get your clothes on and get the hell out of here.
1:09:24
Speaker 7: On the other end of the spectrum, Brian, one of
1:09:27
Speaker 7: my favorite philosophers, believed ethical conduct depends on telling the truth.
1:09:33
Speaker 7: Immanual Kant condemned lying even when you have good intentions,
1:09:38
Speaker 7: because lyon deprives other people of their humanity. They cannot
1:09:42
Speaker 7: make good choices if they don't have truthful information the trouble,
1:09:47
Speaker 7: as God does not always step in the way he
1:09:49
Speaker 7: did the Garden of Eden. Liars often get away with
1:09:53
Speaker 7: their lives. This comes up in history's first book about politics,
1:09:58
Speaker 7: Plato's Republic, about a Greek shepherd named Guijes who discovers
1:10:03
Speaker 7: a magic ring. This ring makes him invisible, letting Guijes
1:10:08
Speaker 7: get away with murder. He kills the king to deuces,
1:10:12
Speaker 7: the queen and the people he rules have no way
1:10:15
Speaker 7: of judging his true worth, which brings us back to
1:10:19
Speaker 7: the Nazis, not mel Brooks, the real Nazis. In chapter
1:10:23
Speaker 7: ten of his book Mine Kam or My Struggle, Adolf
1:10:27
Speaker 7: Hitler advocates the big lie, the idea that the bigger
1:10:32
Speaker 7: the lie, the more people will believe it, because they
1:10:35
Speaker 7: figure nobody would dare tell a lie that preposterous. Hitler
1:10:40
Speaker 7: was a great big liar, and so was Gebels because
1:10:43
Speaker 7: the propaganda minister also ran the newspapers in Germany, radio
1:10:49
Speaker 7: and even their movie industry, almost like today's serpents mainstream media.
1:10:55
Speaker 7: When it comes to line, as Carly Simon would sing,
1:10:58
Speaker 7: nobody does it better than democrats beside just one golden oldie,
1:11:04
Speaker 7: because it shows how government colludes with the media today.
1:11:07
Speaker 7: Democrats in twenty sixteen claimed that a videotape showed Donald
1:11:12
Speaker 7: Trump with Russian hookers at a Moscow hotel. You know,
1:11:16
Speaker 7: a hooker and got a cover of the kid's ears
1:11:20
Speaker 7: for this. They heard him endlessly on Democrat media that
1:11:25
Speaker 7: videotape supposedly showed the hookers urinating on the bed that
1:11:31
Speaker 7: Baraka and Michelle Obama had previously slept in, because we
1:11:35
Speaker 7: were told Trump wanted to show how much he despised
1:11:38
Speaker 7: the Obamas. That lie went as viral as COVID nineteen
1:11:44
Speaker 7: Golden Shower means, rained down everywhere on social media. Stephen
1:11:48
Speaker 7: Colbert did a skit where he bounced on the hotel bed.
1:11:52
Speaker 7: The so called p tape became a pillar of the
1:11:55
Speaker 7: wider Russia Russia, Russia scandal, which was a total or
1:12:00
Speaker 7: maybe I should say totalitarian hopes as even Special counsel
1:12:05
Speaker 7: Robert Muller finally admitted a lie in a fake dossier
1:12:09
Speaker 7: paid for by Hillary Clinton's twenty sixteen presidential campaign, but
1:12:15
Speaker 7: half the country believed her big lie, and now political
1:12:20
Speaker 7: line has grown to pandemic proportions from leftist media to
1:12:24
Speaker 7: tax exempt activists like the Southern Poverty Law Center paying
1:12:29
Speaker 7: three million bucks at least to the KKK and other
1:12:33
Speaker 7: hate groups to make conservatives look like haters. It's the
1:12:38
Speaker 7: opposite of Guige's turning invisible. The left pays villains to
1:12:42
Speaker 7: go public and incite violence, including three assassination attempts on
1:12:47
Speaker 7: Donald Trump, egged on by hatemongers like Jimmy Kimmel, Brian
1:12:53
Speaker 7: You know. George Orwell's nineteen eighty four is not just
1:12:56
Speaker 7: about surveillance, although that's bad enough, It's also about the
1:13:00
Speaker 7: kind of lives that Hitler and Stalin institutionalized. Big Brother's
1:13:05
Speaker 7: Ministry of Truth spreads propaganda, but even worse, it destroys history,
1:13:12
Speaker 7: what we talk about every week. It destroys history by
1:13:15
Speaker 7: dumping old newspapers and books down what's called a memory hole.
1:13:20
Speaker 7: By Orwell, true history disappears, just the way American students
1:13:25
Speaker 7: are now being taught safe history, including the New York
1:13:29
Speaker 7: Times sixteen nineteen projects, which claims America from its founding
1:13:35
Speaker 7: at its core, was a slave state. This lie is
1:13:39
Speaker 7: an attempt to define Black Americans, women, sexual minorities, and
1:13:43
Speaker 7: others today not as individuals with opportunities, not as Americans,
1:13:49
Speaker 7: but as victims eternally dependent on big state socialism. Folks,
1:13:54
Speaker 7: Today's Democrats Socialist party is by definition a lie, big lie,
1:14:01
Speaker 7: because most people living under socialism are pessants. Only the
1:14:05
Speaker 7: elites thrive. So the best way to celebrate the two
1:14:09
Speaker 7: hundred and fiftieth anniversary of America's independence is to spread
1:14:13
Speaker 7: the truth, which, luckily for us, what you and Joe
1:14:16
Speaker 7: do every morning. What are you saying?
1:14:19
Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate the kind words there at the tail end.
1:14:21
Speaker 1: I try my best to do that. Sometimes I feel
1:14:23
Speaker 1: personally I fail epically. But as you point out, history
1:14:29
Speaker 1: proves your point on socialism, and we bring this up constantly.
1:14:33
Speaker 1: Every time it's been tried, it is a result in
1:14:35
Speaker 1: failure in the form of misery of the people, collective misery.
1:14:40
Speaker 1: I guess, since everyone's sharing and share alike in the
1:14:42
Speaker 1: misery that socialism brings around that that makes things good
1:14:45
Speaker 1: or equal. No, you have a demonstrably opposite proof that
1:14:49
Speaker 1: our system of government freedom, coupled with free markets and
1:14:53
Speaker 1: capitalism is far superior for generating wealth for all people.
1:14:57
Speaker 1: That is demonstrable, demonstrated by history. For those who take
1:15:00
Speaker 1: the moment in time to study it now. Going back
1:15:02
Speaker 1: to your Adam and Eve point, maybe it was Adam's
1:15:04
Speaker 1: failure by listening to Eve rather than listening to God.
1:15:08
Speaker 1: Maybe there's something to learn there about relationships with He.
1:15:11
Speaker 1: I believe he failed in some way by listening to
1:15:13
Speaker 1: her and not listening exactly to the commandment of God,
1:15:16
Speaker 1: which is don't touch it. Lies work collectively on us
1:15:22
Speaker 1: when we fail to get the information, when we ignore politics.
1:15:27
Speaker 1: How can you get away within such an obvious lie
1:15:30
Speaker 1: if by doing a little bit of research, which is
1:15:32
Speaker 1: easy to do in this information age, and you can
1:15:34
Speaker 1: learn for yourself that maybe it is not true, or
1:15:37
Speaker 1: in fact, it could be an outright lie. So that
1:15:39
Speaker 1: seems to be our failure. And I recognize that when
1:15:42
Speaker 1: information is controlled allah or Well, you're only going to
1:15:45
Speaker 1: get one view and I think we're farther away from
1:15:50
Speaker 1: that one viewpoint than we ever have been because of
1:15:52
Speaker 1: all of the information that we find ourselves capable of
1:15:56
Speaker 1: reading and learning. So maybe there's a a lesson here
1:16:00
Speaker 1: for us out here. And I talk about low information
1:16:03
Speaker 1: voters all the time, going back to campaign ads and
1:16:05
Speaker 1: lies which are in campaign ads, that money that pay
1:16:09
Speaker 1: for the campaign ads would be thrown down the toilet
1:16:13
Speaker 1: effectively if we all could see through the lies in
1:16:17
Speaker 1: the campaign ads. But because we don't paying attention to
1:16:19
Speaker 1: politics generally speaking, that stuff can have some significant effect
1:16:24
Speaker 1: on the outcome of an election. Well, because you learn
1:16:26
Speaker 1: what you learn simply because you listen to a thirty
1:16:28
Speaker 1: second spot on TV.
1:16:31
Speaker 7: You you're right. I believe most people accept lives because
1:16:36
Speaker 7: of peer pressure, which we're gonna be talking about it
1:16:39
Speaker 7: as a topic soon, but for now. When you live
1:16:42
Speaker 7: in a healthy society, one where faith, family, free markets,
1:16:47
Speaker 7: and personal responsibility are values, peer pressure builds virtue. But
1:16:53
Speaker 7: in a decay decade of society, one with a pop
1:16:57
Speaker 7: culture that traps people and arrested adolescent, virtue is replaced
1:17:01
Speaker 7: by mindless conformity. To get the most clicks, you sink
1:17:06
Speaker 7: to the lowest common denominator because it can't be a
1:17:10
Speaker 7: lie if everyone you know believes it. One other thing
1:17:13
Speaker 7: that we talk about constantly, Brian is Iran. And look
1:17:17
Speaker 7: what's going on now is I've been saying for more
1:17:19
Speaker 7: than a month while Democrat propagandists lie when they say
1:17:24
Speaker 7: Iran is winning this war. Donald Trump could yet lose
1:17:28
Speaker 7: the peace. We pray he won't, but it's possible. Iran
1:17:32
Speaker 7: boasted to Steve would cough back in February. They don't
1:17:36
Speaker 7: deny it that they had enough highly enriched uranium to
1:17:39
Speaker 7: build eleven nuclear bombs in a matter of weeks. That
1:17:43
Speaker 7: was like a mugger holding a gun to your head.
1:17:46
Speaker 7: You have to grab the gun, and our military did
1:17:49
Speaker 7: that brilliantly. But Trump then felt and apparently still feels,
1:17:53
Speaker 7: he can treat the surviving Mullahs and Revolutionary Guard the
1:17:58
Speaker 7: way he treated Delsi Rodrigue in Venezuela. The difference is
1:18:02
Speaker 7: that Maduro's vice president is not a religious fanatic. Yeah,
1:18:06
Speaker 7: she's willing to do our bidding, and I bet she'll
1:18:09
Speaker 7: hold free elections sooner rather than later. By sharp contrast,
1:18:14
Speaker 7: Iran's dead enders will not keep any deal that Trump negotiates.
1:18:19
Speaker 7: As we've said, they're like cockroaches. They're survivors. So while yes,
1:18:24
Speaker 7: we have won the war militarily, America may yet lose
1:18:28
Speaker 7: the peace if we don't stop losing time and the
1:18:31
Speaker 7: midterms negotiating a worthless peace deal and instead demand unconditional surrender. Yeah.
1:18:39
Speaker 1: I really am glad you brought up the point about religion,
1:18:41
Speaker 1: because that turns the conflict into something completely different. And
1:18:44
Speaker 1: I always like to suggest my listening audience, many of
1:18:47
Speaker 1: whom are people of profound faith, would you turn your
1:18:50
Speaker 1: back on your religion, I mean, under really any circumstance,
1:18:55
Speaker 1: or would you fight to the end in the name
1:18:57
Speaker 1: of your religion and your God. So that horse of
1:19:01
Speaker 1: a different color when you're talking about just sort of
1:19:03
Speaker 1: like being weed to a political philosophy versus being weed
1:19:06
Speaker 1: to God and religion. That transforms the whole nature of
1:19:10
Speaker 1: the conflict. Yeah, I love talking about it. And there's
1:19:14
Speaker 1: go ahead.
1:19:14
Speaker 7: There's plenty to eat other than that apples.
1:19:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, God.
1:19:19
Speaker 7: Is magnificent in his blessings. You just lead a decent life.
1:19:24
Speaker 1: Thank you. Oh the world would be such a better place.
1:19:27
Speaker 1: And you know what, Communism as a concept wouldn't exist
1:19:29
Speaker 1: if they're the politicians, the liars, the crazies that want
1:19:32
Speaker 1: to control us. Couldn't capitalize and win based upon covetousness, envy,
1:19:38
Speaker 1: and greed, which is really all what it's all about.
1:19:40
Speaker 1: Going back to religion.
1:19:44
Speaker 7: Yep, all right, Joe stays strong.
1:19:47
Speaker 1: Amen seven twenty three. If you have ks detalk station
1:19:53
Speaker 1: Americans for a Prosperity Donovan and Neil next segment, And
1:19:56
Speaker 1: since we found out from Alex Trancepilo, a high Republican
1:19:59
Speaker 1: party chair, that they have lists and they do metrics
1:20:02
Speaker 1: and they know where registered voters are that do not vote.
1:20:05
Speaker 1: I don't know how many elections go by each time
1:20:08
Speaker 1: where someone doesn't vote even though there registered, but apparently
1:20:10
Speaker 1: it happens a lot. Twenty percent showed up yesterday in
1:20:13
Speaker 1: Ollile roughly, So we're gonna find out if he's got
1:20:16
Speaker 1: that list, because they door knock and they help out,
1:20:19
Speaker 1: and they're going to get people motivated to go out
1:20:20
Speaker 1: to vote in November. Again. I don't think the problem
1:20:22
Speaker 1: is Republicans being angry about gasoline prizes or angry that
1:20:27
Speaker 1: Donald Trump started war that they would vote for Democrats.
1:20:31
Speaker 1: To me, that's like turning your back on your own religion.
1:20:33
Speaker 1: How could you do that? Why would you vote vote
1:20:35
Speaker 1: for someone who guarantees to not represent what you believe in?
1:20:40
Speaker 1: So the only way I believe that Democrats can win
1:20:44
Speaker 1: is because of course they've got evil Orange man fever
1:20:48
Speaker 1: and they're rare in to go to vote in November
1:20:50
Speaker 1: believing they can take over Congress. And the only way
1:20:54
Speaker 1: that can survive or actually work for them is if
1:20:57
Speaker 1: we don't go up and go encounter that. You know,
1:21:00
Speaker 1: you hold your nose and say, Okay, maybe evil Orange
1:21:03
Speaker 1: Man isn't perfect, but I sure as hell don't want
1:21:06
Speaker 1: fill in the buying from the Democrat Party. I don't
1:21:08
Speaker 1: want socialism in other words, but we got to get
1:21:11
Speaker 1: up and vote for that. Get out and vote for that.
1:21:13
Speaker 1: You have to get out and vote. Pray everybody I'm
1:21:17
Speaker 1: a listening audience, are all ready like Thomas, I vote.
1:21:19
Speaker 1: There's no way I wouldn't get out and vote. Yeah,
1:21:21
Speaker 1: that's you. Maybe it's your family. Maybe if it's not
1:21:23
Speaker 1: your family, you'll get them to go out and vote. Talk,
1:21:25
Speaker 1: knock on your neighbor's door. Are you going to vote
1:21:28
Speaker 1: in November? Of course this becomes more important as we
1:21:30
Speaker 1: get closer to the election. We have a lot more
1:21:32
Speaker 1: to talk about between now and then, of course, and
1:21:34
Speaker 1: maybe Dear God, let us all pray that the war
1:21:36
Speaker 1: will be over and that we negotiate some the best
1:21:41
Speaker 1: possible terms for the good of the world, quite frankly,
1:21:44
Speaker 1: and it would be for the good of the world.
1:21:45
Speaker 1: And Lord on, I think that's probably behind more that
1:21:48
Speaker 1: the Democrats, the more of the Democrats anger about this conflict.
1:21:52
Speaker 1: And I agree personally legally speaking that you know kind
1:21:55
Speaker 1: of played fast in looth with with launching a war
1:21:58
Speaker 1: against another country. It's happened a lot since World War Two. Parties,
1:22:04
Speaker 1: presidents of both political parties have done it. This is
1:22:06
Speaker 1: like the new norm. So I may be outraged at
1:22:09
Speaker 1: the ignoring the law, but here we find ourselves and
1:22:14
Speaker 1: to the extent Donald Trump can prevail in this, and
1:22:17
Speaker 1: an American military does what it does best, kills people
1:22:20
Speaker 1: and breaks things and gets the Iranians to capitulate. What
1:22:25
Speaker 1: an amazing accomplishment for evil Orange man. You want to
1:22:29
Speaker 1: see people outrage, You want to see heads explode, like
1:22:32
Speaker 1: remember the movie Scanners. Look at your Democrat friends after November.
1:22:36
Speaker 1: If the Republicans in fact maintain control of Congress, indeed,
1:22:42
Speaker 1: somebody who's going to help do that, Donald O'Neil coming
1:22:44
Speaker 1: up next for Americans for Prosperity seven thirty one. IFKTI
1:22:48
Speaker 1: have kc DE talk station, It's time to get people
1:22:50
Speaker 1: motivated to help out and make sure that we have
1:22:53
Speaker 1: a huge turnout that will be we on the conservative
1:22:56
Speaker 1: side of the ledger of this November. Welcome back from
1:22:58
Speaker 1: Americans for prosper Donovan and Neil. Great to have you
1:23:01
Speaker 1: back in on as it always is.
1:23:02
Speaker 9: Donovan, Brian, always a pleasure to be with you.
1:23:05
Speaker 1: I had Alex chruncefiel on earlier from the Higo Republican
1:23:09
Speaker 1: share as you know, and he let it slip or
1:23:11
Speaker 1: actually set out loud. I don't think he's let it
1:23:13
Speaker 1: slip that you've got metrics, you've got lists or their
1:23:15
Speaker 1: Publican party anyway does and they know where people are
1:23:18
Speaker 1: who are registered to vote that simply just don't go
1:23:21
Speaker 1: out and vote, so they can go to that address
1:23:24
Speaker 1: and say, hey, by the way, you know, maybe November
1:23:27
Speaker 1: is the time you might want to take advantage of
1:23:29
Speaker 1: your registration and go out and cast a vote. So
1:23:33
Speaker 1: do you have that list or something like that at
1:23:35
Speaker 1: AFP Donovan O'Neil.
1:23:38
Speaker 9: Well, yeah, all of that's available through the Secretary of
1:23:40
Speaker 9: State's office. I mean, I know who you vote for, right,
1:23:43
Speaker 9: but they know it's public record who is registered to
1:23:46
Speaker 9: vote and how often we vote. But we go we
1:23:50
Speaker 9: go actually a level deeper than that, Brian. You know
1:23:53
Speaker 9: through the work that we do, the continual I mean
1:23:55
Speaker 9: we knocked doors twenty four to seven three sixty five,
1:23:59
Speaker 9: and that helps us build profiles on voters, types of voters,
1:24:03
Speaker 9: constituency blocks, and so all of that data helps power
1:24:06
Speaker 9: the grassroots work that we do. And so when you
1:24:08
Speaker 9: volunteer with us, for instance, quick shameless plug for us
1:24:12
Speaker 9: here right, what you're doing is you're volunteering with a
1:24:15
Speaker 9: team that has some of the best data in the business.
1:24:17
Speaker 1: So when you go and.
1:24:18
Speaker 9: Talk to a voter, it's highly targeted, highly focused to
1:24:22
Speaker 9: what we believe is going to help, you know, persuade
1:24:24
Speaker 9: that voter and help connect them to the importance of
1:24:26
Speaker 9: this upcoming election. It's all about getting the vote turned
1:24:29
Speaker 9: out though.
1:24:30
Speaker 1: It is, and for those who might be reluctant to
1:24:33
Speaker 1: help out and become a citizen advocate, as AFP action
1:24:36
Speaker 1: dot Com allows everyone to easily do. I think, you know,
1:24:40
Speaker 1: especially in these trying times where everyone is angry, like
1:24:43
Speaker 1: perpetually angry, and that they might not want to get in,
1:24:48
Speaker 1: they might not want to knock on a door for
1:24:49
Speaker 1: fear they're gonna end up in some shouting match with someone.
1:24:51
Speaker 1: I just give people some context. How often would something
1:24:54
Speaker 1: like that happen or how often in your experience and
1:24:56
Speaker 1: your door knocking campaigns, which have been going on forever, Donovan,
1:25:00
Speaker 1: do you really ever encounter many people like that? Or
1:25:02
Speaker 1: is it a challenge to deal with people like that.
1:25:06
Speaker 1: I'll be straight with you.
1:25:07
Speaker 9: I've been knocking doors for over twenty years for the
1:25:11
Speaker 9: various campaigns presidential non presidential elections. Knocked about one thousand
1:25:16
Speaker 9: doors myself in this primary election for our endorsed candidates,
1:25:20
Speaker 9: and knock a lot between now in November. I'll tell
1:25:24
Speaker 9: you what, in an election, one or two out of
1:25:27
Speaker 9: the thousands of doors that I knock do I have
1:25:29
Speaker 9: somebody who says I don't want it, get off my
1:25:32
Speaker 9: porch and don't come back again. And it's not even
1:25:34
Speaker 9: ever that aggressive, Brian. But the reality is most people
1:25:38
Speaker 9: actually appreciate when we come to their door, knock on it,
1:25:42
Speaker 9: smiling doorhannger in hand and say hey, my name's Donovan
1:25:45
Speaker 9: with Americans for Prosperity. We're just letting you know about
1:25:48
Speaker 9: the upcoming election and some candidates you might be interested
1:25:51
Speaker 9: in have a moment to talk with me. More often
1:25:53
Speaker 9: than not, Brian, they say yes, actually, I've seen the
1:25:56
Speaker 9: mail and I've had these questions. I've wondered about this.
1:25:59
Speaker 9: The door to door works, and I think it really
1:26:01
Speaker 9: breaks through that political frustration that social media perpetuates, or
1:26:07
Speaker 9: other forms of political campaigning perpetuate. Door to door campaigning
1:26:11
Speaker 9: by and large, head and shoulders above all the other tactics,
1:26:14
Speaker 9: and really kind of can help instill some faith in
1:26:17
Speaker 9: our political process. Well we go out and do it.
1:26:19
Speaker 1: Which, since you're interacting with real human beings on a
1:26:22
Speaker 1: very very large scale, it suggests that that anger and
1:26:25
Speaker 1: that vitriol on social media represents only a small section
1:26:29
Speaker 1: of humanity. So maybe the message that we're getting is
1:26:32
Speaker 1: in fact some sort of like a lie.
1:26:36
Speaker 9: Well yeah, I mean I think, you know, whenever anybody
1:26:38
Speaker 9: has the anonymity of social media, even when it's your
1:26:41
Speaker 9: own Facebook with your picture, you with your kids, there's
1:26:44
Speaker 9: still something distant, right. But it's different when you're actually,
1:26:49
Speaker 9: you know, knocking on someone's doors, having a conversation to
1:26:53
Speaker 9: ohiolence to Americans, even if you walk on I've had
1:26:56
Speaker 9: situations in primaries. We just came out of the primary yesterday,
1:26:59
Speaker 9: right where I go up to a door and they've
1:27:02
Speaker 9: got the opponent's sign in the yard, and I you know,
1:27:04
Speaker 9: it's still a cordial conversation between two conservatives who both
1:27:08
Speaker 9: want the best for the state. We may not see
1:27:10
Speaker 9: eye to eye on who the best candidate is to
1:27:12
Speaker 9: achieve that, but I'll tell you what those are actually
1:27:14
Speaker 9: some of the most productive I feel like conversations because
1:27:18
Speaker 9: they're engaged, right, They've put the sign in the yard,
1:27:20
Speaker 9: they've done their research and found their candidate, and they
1:27:23
Speaker 9: know that I'm out there advocating for mine. I think
1:27:25
Speaker 9: it's good, it's healthy, and more often than not it is.
1:27:30
Speaker 9: It is a positive experience. Then I think everybody who
1:27:33
Speaker 9: believes that in this country ought to take.
1:27:35
Speaker 1: Part in Donald any Americans for Prosperity a call for
1:27:38
Speaker 1: action today with my listening audience.
1:27:40
Speaker 9: Well, primary is over, but it doesn't mean this election
1:27:43
Speaker 9: is one. We've got November. Go to AFP action dot com.
1:27:46
Speaker 9: Let's get in the fight for Senator John Houston. We
1:27:48
Speaker 9: got to send Shery Brown back and to retire one
1:27:50
Speaker 9: more time.
1:27:51
Speaker 1: Americans for Prosperity makes it so easy for you to
1:27:54
Speaker 1: help out a little bit, a whole lot, whatever you
1:27:56
Speaker 1: want to do. If you help out, obviously we're going
1:27:58
Speaker 1: to go to November with a better advantage. Thank you,
1:28:00
Speaker 1: Donovan and Neil each a week coming on the program
1:28:02
Speaker 1: and I appreciate what you and AFP are doing throughout
1:28:04
Speaker 1: the year. We'll have you back on next week and
1:28:06
Speaker 1: get an update. Sounds good. Take care, Brian, thanks my friends,
1:28:09
Speaker 1: stick around Clerma Kenny Veteran Services. Next seven about krc
1:28:14
Speaker 1: DE talk Station. Brian Thomas always happy to see the
1:28:17
Speaker 1: clemic Keutty Veteran Services folks in the studio, and that
1:28:19
Speaker 1: would mean, of course Steve Belso, the executive director of
1:28:21
Speaker 1: the Clema County Veteran Service com Mission. But we also
1:28:24
Speaker 1: have a new character in the room, Louke Gordon's his name,
1:28:27
Speaker 1: Steve Belzo. Good to see a man.
1:28:29
Speaker 8: What's with lou Brian, I'll tell you what. It's always
1:28:31
Speaker 8: a great morning when I get to come in here
1:28:33
Speaker 8: and see the energy of Brian Thomas and what you
1:28:35
Speaker 8: do for a veterans.
1:28:36
Speaker 1: So love the veteran Thank you. That's the one thing
1:28:40
Speaker 1: it'll get me out of bed.
1:28:44
Speaker 8: I don't know about that. There's plenty of aggravated stuff
1:28:47
Speaker 8: out there, keep and Brian Thomas going, but I have,
1:28:50
Speaker 8: I have, I have pulled the stinger away and I
1:28:51
Speaker 8: didn't say a thing about lou that you asked me,
1:28:53
Speaker 8: So this is how we do it on radio and television,
1:28:55
Speaker 8: isn't it. Nonetheless, well it's lous.
1:28:59
Speaker 1: You called it session planning. I said, wait a second,
1:29:02
Speaker 1: I did, Deeve Belzo. You got to foot out the
1:29:04
Speaker 1: door already.
1:29:05
Speaker 8: You know I'm still learning to spell succession. So that
1:29:09
Speaker 8: is why this is so unique that I even said
1:29:11
Speaker 8: the word Brian.
1:29:12
Speaker 1: Okay, well we know you. What about Lou? It was
1:29:15
Speaker 1: so acri. We'll talk about Memorial Day. I know why
1:29:17
Speaker 1: you're here, but I have a feeling we're gonna see
1:29:19
Speaker 1: We're gonna see Lou Gordon in the studio maybe more
1:29:22
Speaker 1: down the road. Sometimes that is correct. That is correct.
1:29:25
Speaker 8: So with most places, especially in a business concept, veteran
1:29:30
Speaker 8: service officers large budget identified by the state. How much
1:29:34
Speaker 8: you want to ensure that someone taking over as the
1:29:37
Speaker 8: executive director has an understanding and background and business so
1:29:42
Speaker 8: that budgets are developed, spending is done in concert with
1:29:46
Speaker 8: you have a mission of the office that you ensure
1:29:49
Speaker 8: it's going correctly. Lou came to the office one day.
1:29:52
Speaker 8: We're talking. He's got a master's from Xavier. He's doing
1:29:55
Speaker 8: another degree at U. See, he won't get his nose
1:29:57
Speaker 8: out of his books. He's got a callous on his no,
1:30:00
Speaker 8: his books are in his noses in the books so much. Nonetheless,
1:30:04
Speaker 8: talented young man exceeds me. So surround yourself with white people.
1:30:09
Speaker 1: Right as I would expect. Steve Bells is looking out
1:30:12
Speaker 1: for the American veteran that's served by the Clemont County
1:30:14
Speaker 1: Veteran Services on into the future, anticipating it someday. Yes,
1:30:18
Speaker 1: like all of us, Steve will not be in that role.
1:30:20
Speaker 1: So Lou, I'm glad to see you man. I wish
1:30:22
Speaker 1: you all the best on your future role, and we
1:30:25
Speaker 1: will be talking more soon. But you know you came
1:30:27
Speaker 1: in here today and I mean to sidetrack you talking
1:30:29
Speaker 1: about lose so much. Memorial Day, Memorial Day, and some
1:30:32
Speaker 1: people confuse Memorial Day with Veterans Day.
1:30:35
Speaker 8: That are barbecue grill Day. I'm not sure, but there
1:30:38
Speaker 8: is a big distinction between Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
1:30:43
Speaker 8: And how many Sunday mornings in church, how many times
1:30:46
Speaker 8: that's off track again, it's embarrassing, and people look at
1:30:51
Speaker 8: me when I won't stand up on Memorial Day and
1:30:54
Speaker 8: you want to jump up there and say stop, it's not.
1:30:57
Speaker 1: About us, No, it's about those who gave the ultimate
1:31:00
Speaker 1: sacrifice and service of their country.
1:31:02
Speaker 8: Let's look at the definition of the day. It's a
1:31:06
Speaker 8: memorial right, Yeah, it's Memorial Day. So answer the question
1:31:12
Speaker 8: in front it does words have meaning? And when I
1:31:16
Speaker 8: look for that definition, it's not about Steve, who's still
1:31:20
Speaker 8: upright on his two shoes. So it's just one of
1:31:23
Speaker 8: those messages to get out there is one America. Remember
1:31:27
Speaker 8: why it's called Memorial Day and who we are memorializing,
1:31:33
Speaker 8: and basically for the freedoms we have in this country still,
1:31:36
Speaker 8: whether you think we still have them or not, we
1:31:38
Speaker 8: are still the freest country on God's green Earth.
1:31:41
Speaker 1: I wish people wouldn't lose sight of that.
1:31:43
Speaker 7: Please.
1:31:44
Speaker 1: That's one of the reasons I appreciate supporting the American
1:31:46
Speaker 1: Veterans and the causes because they represent the freedom that
1:31:50
Speaker 1: our country has sim we would not be here. Don't
1:31:52
Speaker 1: go away, Morris Steve Belzo from the Klimic County Veterans Services.
1:31:55
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about what is Decoration Day. We'll
1:31:57
Speaker 1: talk about also what services the Veteran Service Organization offers
1:32:01
Speaker 1: family members who have lost members in service of our country.
1:32:04
Speaker 1: Don't go Away. At seven forty five seven fifty fifty
1:32:08
Speaker 1: five k C detalk Dation Clima County Veteran Service Mission.
1:32:11
Speaker 1: They're there to help the American veteran the Claimont County area.
1:32:14
Speaker 1: Steve Belzo, the executive director of the Cleamon County Veteran
1:32:16
Speaker 1: Service Commission, in studio, we're talking about Memorial Day. No,
1:32:18
Speaker 1: it's not Veterans Day. It's for those who died in
1:32:21
Speaker 1: military service, paying the ultimate sacrifice for your freedom and
1:32:25
Speaker 1: my freedom and godless each and every one of them.
1:32:27
Speaker 1: It used to be decoration.
1:32:28
Speaker 8: Day, Steve, it did, right, Yeah, when this decoration.
1:32:33
Speaker 1: Does not define the day like Memorial Day does.
1:32:35
Speaker 8: No, it doesn't when you think of Decoration Day. This
1:32:40
Speaker 8: whole Memorial Day concept has variable beginnings depending on who
1:32:46
Speaker 8: you talk to. That originally they believe the well, they're
1:32:52
Speaker 8: known as Buffalo soldiers later on, but the African Americans
1:32:54
Speaker 8: that fought in the Civil War down in the Carolinas
1:32:59
Speaker 8: were recognizing their war dead and certainly proud of what
1:33:03
Speaker 8: they were fighting for during that war.
1:33:05
Speaker 1: Talk about a vested interest.
1:33:07
Speaker 8: Exactly so the honor of their own kin have died
1:33:11
Speaker 8: in the war. They were decorating the graves and then
1:33:14
Speaker 8: another state picks up. So that's pretty neat what they're doing,
1:33:17
Speaker 8: and it just continued to porpoise from there that other
1:33:20
Speaker 8: people Pennsylvania then started one and they said, well, we
1:33:23
Speaker 8: started the first one. And so there's no real definitive
1:33:26
Speaker 8: answer who started this. But yet we know that this
1:33:30
Speaker 8: started as a decoration day of decorating the graves of
1:33:34
Speaker 8: those who have given their lives.
1:33:35
Speaker 1: That makes for freedom, that makes sense, and of course
1:33:37
Speaker 1: that tradition is still going on, is absolutely more toward
1:33:41
Speaker 1: Memorial Day. But what about the families. I mean, part
1:33:44
Speaker 1: of the tragedy of all this is you know, anytime
1:33:47
Speaker 1: someone dies that leave behind grieving family members. Are family
1:33:50
Speaker 1: members a part of this remembrance process?
1:33:53
Speaker 8: They are, and it's I want to say, yes, it's
1:33:57
Speaker 8: in design, but they're often left behind. Everybody remembers Sergeant
1:34:01
Speaker 8: Joe from my high school class, but they don't think
1:34:04
Speaker 8: of Sergeant Joe's family exactly or mom. So back during
1:34:08
Speaker 8: World War one and two, we had the Blue Star
1:34:10
Speaker 8: families and it was a little flag you would hang
1:34:12
Speaker 8: in your window that you had a family member serving
1:34:16
Speaker 8: in the war. And so you hang a little flag
1:34:18
Speaker 8: and had a little blue star on it. But when
1:34:20
Speaker 8: you lost your loved one, that blue star changed to
1:34:23
Speaker 8: a gold star and we were able to identify the
1:34:26
Speaker 8: families who lost a loved one in the war. Then
1:34:30
Speaker 8: that morphed into gold star, mother's gold Star family, golds
1:34:33
Speaker 8: Star spouses, which is true right, and it's just another
1:34:37
Speaker 8: way to recognize, especially during Memorial Day. It's not about
1:34:41
Speaker 8: the veterans still breathing. It's about those who have given
1:34:43
Speaker 8: their lives and the families who lent their loved ones
1:34:47
Speaker 8: to their nation to die on their behalf so that
1:34:51
Speaker 8: we enjoy the freedoms that we have.
1:34:53
Speaker 1: Well stateds the bells as always, what services did the
1:34:56
Speaker 1: VSO offer to families that have lost members and service
1:34:59
Speaker 1: to our country?
1:35:00
Speaker 8: There are the multiplicity, there is.
1:35:05
Speaker 1: One.
1:35:06
Speaker 8: A lot of the individuals family wise, don't recognize or
1:35:10
Speaker 8: understand medals or ribbons that were awarded their loved ones.
1:35:14
Speaker 8: They may have documents such as on a D two
1:35:17
Speaker 8: to fourteen, which is a federal document of separation that
1:35:20
Speaker 8: will list that service members decorations earned, and they'll come
1:35:24
Speaker 8: in with the documents, say what what are these and
1:35:26
Speaker 8: how do we get these medals? We'll put them together
1:35:28
Speaker 8: for them. We'll actually hand the family a rack of
1:35:32
Speaker 8: ribbons that their loved one would have earned or the medals.
1:35:35
Speaker 1: That's wonderful. Yeah, that's wonderful. Now, insofar as Clemont County
1:35:39
Speaker 1: Veteran Services are aware of events, maybe you might want
1:35:42
Speaker 1: to point out that are going on in honor Memorial
1:35:44
Speaker 1: Day for my listening audience.
1:35:45
Speaker 8: Oh my gosh, they're going all over the tri State
1:35:48
Speaker 8: everywhere you look, right, Yes, it is everywhere you look.
1:35:52
Speaker 8: We have a very robust we call them veteran service organizations.
1:35:57
Speaker 8: Think of the VFW, the DAV that's Veterans Foreign Wars,
1:36:02
Speaker 8: Disabled American Veterans, the American Legion, and they will be
1:36:06
Speaker 8: out placing flags and temporary grave markers at veterans grave
1:36:10
Speaker 8: sites throughout this whole Southwest region, primarily across the Ohio
1:36:14
Speaker 8: I imagine as well. But there are organizations you can
1:36:17
Speaker 8: connect with, look up in your phone book or on
1:36:19
Speaker 8: Google because Google knows everything, what's my locust Legion and
1:36:22
Speaker 8: ask them if they're doing anything for Memorial Day. But
1:36:25
Speaker 8: there's also other organizations who are out there identifying the graves.
1:36:30
Speaker 8: Plus this year we have the Revolutionary War Soldiers coming
1:36:34
Speaker 8: up on the fourth of July. There'll be events coming up,
1:36:36
Speaker 8: So it's of course it's kind of special this Memorial
1:36:39
Speaker 8: Day as well, right.
1:36:40
Speaker 1: Truly special. And you know, when you go back to
1:36:43
Speaker 1: the Civil War and you look at the numbers of
1:36:45
Speaker 1: dead just from the Civil War, it's just astronomical, It
1:36:48
Speaker 1: is insane, It is really hard to really fathom and comprehend.
1:36:52
Speaker 1: But they're there for us to remember. And hopefully my
1:36:55
Speaker 1: listening audience is filled with folks who will be doing
1:36:57
Speaker 1: just that. Hon are those who paid the ultimate sacrifice
1:36:59
Speaker 1: this Memorial Day. Show up at one of the events,
1:37:02
Speaker 1: put a flag on your deceased love one, veterans or
1:37:06
Speaker 1: it's veterans grave. It's the right thing to do, and
1:37:09
Speaker 1: let's keep this proud tradition going, most notably in honor
1:37:11
Speaker 1: of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of this great country.
1:37:14
Speaker 8: That's right, Absolutely, so.
1:37:15
Speaker 1: Many people died making it work.
1:37:18
Speaker 8: It's yes, right, it's their blood that covers the granite
1:37:22
Speaker 8: foundation of what our diplomacy is built upon.
1:37:26
Speaker 1: Clemont County Veterans Service Commission. You find them online so
1:37:29
Speaker 1: easily with just typing in that. Steve Belzo, thank you

1:38:25
Speaker 1: and go in feel a little bit blue. But man,
1:38:28
Speaker 1: hanging out with my friends at listener lunch just puts
1:38:30
Speaker 1: a big smile on my face. It improves my day,
1:38:32
Speaker 1: and I'd like to think, given the people that show
1:38:34
Speaker 1: up regularly, that it improves their day as well. And
1:38:37
Speaker 1: nothing puts a bigger smile on my face. And looking
1:38:39
Speaker 1: out at the crowd of people, so many of my
1:38:41
Speaker 1: listeners have found like really close friends. At listener lunch,
1:38:45
Speaker 1: you see the same groups of people sitting at the
1:38:47
Speaker 1: table together. They don't care one way or another whether
1:38:49
Speaker 1: I'm there or not. They're just there to enjoy each
1:38:51
Speaker 1: other's companies. So joining the fun Snow's Lakeside Tavern today

Speaker 1: I want. Speaking of talking with people, you know, I'm easy,
1:40:04
Speaker 1: the most easy to approach guy on the planet. If
1:40:07
Speaker 1: you show up with a listener lunch and I just walk
1:40:09
Speaker 1: around talk, we don't there's no speech you find going on.
1:40:12
Speaker 1: I don't stand in front of the room and you know,
1:40:15
Speaker 1: and make comments and statements. And that's because I have
1:40:19
Speaker 1: respect for the restaurant clientele. Not everybody that's at any
1:40:23
Speaker 1: given restaurant we're at is part of the fifty five
1:40:25
Speaker 1: Casey listener lunch. So there could be a table over
1:40:28
Speaker 1: there that like doesn't want to hear a word that
1:40:29
Speaker 1: Thomas says, and I would be interrupting their lunch if
1:40:32
Speaker 1: I launched into some sort of speech in front of
1:40:34
Speaker 1: the rooms. That's why I say, you got something you
1:40:36
Speaker 1: want to talk about, just walk up to me and
1:40:37
Speaker 1: say hi. I'll be happy to spend some time with
1:40:40
Speaker 1: you as well. I just feel bad from time to
1:40:42
Speaker 1: time and I'll look around the room and someone will
1:40:43
Speaker 1: come up to me and like, well, I was here
1:40:45
Speaker 1: the whole time and we got to go now, Like
1:40:46
Speaker 1: dang it, I meant to get over and talk with you,
1:40:50
Speaker 1: get engaged and again. All morning. All morning, I have
1:40:54
Speaker 1: been asking my listening audience to please pray for Joe
1:40:57
Speaker 1: strek Or. He had a medical emergency yesterday later in
1:40:59
Speaker 1: the day, so he's not here today. Danny Gleason's covering
1:41:02
Speaker 1: for him is Danny always does a great job, but
1:41:05
Speaker 1: I got some good news a moment, or at least
1:41:07
Speaker 1: I think it's good. I suppose the hospital wouldn't have
1:41:09
Speaker 1: sent him home last evening or late last night if
1:41:13
Speaker 1: he wasn't well enough to go home, So I view
1:41:16
Speaker 1: that as a positive step. I have no details whatsoever
1:41:21
Speaker 1: about Joe's condition beyond what I just told you, but
1:41:24
Speaker 1: since he is out and it was an emergency, that's
1:41:26
Speaker 1: why I'm asking for your kind prayers this morning, so
1:41:29
Speaker 1: and early in the pro all Mississippi. James on the line, James,
1:41:32
Speaker 1: welcome back, my friend. Good to hear from me this morning.
1:41:34
Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday, sir.
1:41:36
Speaker 4: Hey man, I come in peace, love everybody, and there's
1:41:39
Speaker 4: nothing you can do about it.
1:41:41
Speaker 1: Share James philosophy. The world will be a better place.
1:41:45
Speaker 4: Hey, Sir, James in the middle. You know, I just
1:41:49
Speaker 4: look at pendulum swinging back and forth.
1:41:51
Speaker 1: I know you do.
1:41:52
Speaker 4: Now, now we can talk about the Civil Rights Bill,
1:41:56
Speaker 4: we can talk about the Jeer Manning, we can talk
1:41:59
Speaker 4: about out the Southern poplic Law Center. Now, all the
1:42:04
Speaker 4: three of those things came into play to try to
1:42:08
Speaker 4: combat something that was so unjustly. Now, when they got created,
1:42:15
Speaker 4: did they go too far? Did they swing too far. Hey, maybe,
1:42:19
Speaker 4: So that's up to the individual to decide that. But
1:42:23
Speaker 4: when you want to adjust something, do you throw the
1:42:25
Speaker 4: baby out with the bath water? You know? And we
1:42:28
Speaker 4: sitting here caught in the middle of religion and politics
1:42:32
Speaker 4: and a lot of that stuff is man made, man manipulated,
1:42:37
Speaker 4: and we sit here and have.
1:42:39
Speaker 10: Vitriol hate for each other.
1:42:41
Speaker 4: Or themselves or whatever's going down to and I think
1:42:45
Speaker 4: we missing the mark, you know, So we gotta we
1:42:49
Speaker 4: gotta get back to that middle respect to each other
1:42:52
Speaker 4: and see where we can go from there.
1:42:54
Speaker 1: That would be a good starting point.
1:42:56
Speaker 4: Go ahead.
1:42:56
Speaker 1: You don't have to reach complete agreement, you don't have
1:42:59
Speaker 1: to capitulate on what you believe in, but civility would
1:43:03
Speaker 1: be a nice thing in these crazy times. Who live
1:43:05
Speaker 1: in James Right.
1:43:07
Speaker 4: Well, you have to look at why do you believe
1:43:09
Speaker 4: what you believe in? Yeah, I would use an example
1:43:12
Speaker 4: of that white European walking on water and they told
1:43:15
Speaker 4: us that was Jesus in God's Son. Well, we believed
1:43:18
Speaker 4: in that. Now we know better than that. So you
1:43:22
Speaker 4: have to look out. If the pitch and imagy was
1:43:25
Speaker 4: a lie, how much more is a lie? Well, that's
1:43:28
Speaker 4: the reason I call people's buffet Christians.
1:43:30
Speaker 1: You know, James, I'll let you engage in theological discussions
1:43:35
Speaker 1: with my listening audience on a one on one basis,
1:43:37
Speaker 1: and you know you're entitled to speak your voice here
1:43:40
Speaker 1: on the Morning Show. And I have never disagreed with
1:43:42
Speaker 1: your point about how could Jesus have been a white
1:43:46
Speaker 1: European looking guy when he came from that region of
1:43:49
Speaker 1: the world. We can certainly presume that he was a
1:43:52
Speaker 1: person of some color at any way. But as I
1:43:54
Speaker 1: pointed out, my understanding of how that image came about
1:43:57
Speaker 1: is because when you're trying to do marketing among an uneducated,
1:44:01
Speaker 1: illiterate group of people, which was pretty much all of
1:44:03
Speaker 1: humanity in the period of time after Jesus's birth and resurrection.
1:44:08
Speaker 1: If you're so inclined to believe, how do you sell
1:44:11
Speaker 1: Alex say, a person of color to pretty much an
1:44:13
Speaker 1: all exclusively white European audience. If you want to spread
1:44:17
Speaker 1: the message, you have to have an image that they
1:44:18
Speaker 1: are inclined to follow. So is the image a lie?
1:44:22
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll let people conclude for themselves. Again, I'm no theologian,
1:44:26
Speaker 1: but isn't it the message that they were trying to spread?
1:44:29
Speaker 1: And the message of Christianity, I think is a good one.
1:44:33
Speaker 1: You know, the idea of assisting fellow man, they'll read
1:44:35
Speaker 1: the sermon on the mat if you don't remember what's
1:44:37
Speaker 1: in That had some good points about living life the
1:44:39
Speaker 1: right way. That's the point. So if you have to
1:44:42
Speaker 1: perpetuate a little bit of a white lie, white, isn't
1:44:45
Speaker 1: that funny white lie to get the religion in place.
1:44:48
Speaker 1: If the religion ultimately benefits society, then maybe it was
1:44:52
Speaker 1: worth that exercise. Now fast forward to a time where
1:44:54
Speaker 1: we're all literate, we have connections to all types of information,
1:44:58
Speaker 1: maybe it wouldn't have to work that way. And I
1:45:00
Speaker 1: think we also, as it was pointed out this morning
1:45:02
Speaker 1: in Jason Riley's op ed piece, I think we live
1:45:05
Speaker 1: in a post racist world. At least we've made a
1:45:09
Speaker 1: lot of inroads, which means and suggests to me that
1:45:11
Speaker 1: if this concept of Jesus came up now and he
1:45:14
Speaker 1: was depicted as whatever he actually looked like, you could
1:45:17
Speaker 1: sell the message even if it's a black image to
1:45:21
Speaker 1: white people, because it's the message. That's what's important. James,
1:45:24
Speaker 1: It's the message. So I appreciate it, though I always
1:45:27
Speaker 1: love hearing from you James, and I'll keep my fingers
1:45:29
Speaker 1: crossed to you and your beautiful bride might make it
1:45:31
Speaker 1: to listener lunch today over at snows Lakeside Tavern. Thanks
1:45:34
Speaker 1: for Colin James. Always a pleasure hearing from you. Yeah,
1:45:37
Speaker 1: and I did read the column from Riley earlier on
1:45:40
Speaker 1: the racial gerrymandering thing, and you know, he pointed out
1:45:42
Speaker 1: what's illegal is throwing race into the map, drawing mix
1:45:47
Speaker 1: without specific evidence of discrimination. And he does a great
1:45:50
Speaker 1: historical analysis. White people vote for black people all the time.
1:45:56
Speaker 1: It's modern times. We've kind of overcome the racial challenges.
1:45:59
Speaker 1: Black people are registered and sometimes show up in greater
1:46:02
Speaker 1: numbers and white folks. It's the message from the member
1:46:05
Speaker 1: who is running. It's the person running. Is that person
1:46:08
Speaker 1: going to represent my interests? The point being Jason Riley,
1:46:12
Speaker 1: a black man, is making it doesn't matter what your
1:46:15
Speaker 1: color your skin is, is are you going to get
1:46:17
Speaker 1: a good representation? And my comment going back to Joe Biden,
1:46:21
Speaker 1: if you don't vote Democrat, you ain't black. How insulting
1:46:24
Speaker 1: is that another sub point he kind of made at
1:46:27
Speaker 1: the end of the article. So something to be said
1:46:30
Speaker 1: on all that. Bobby, welcome to the Morning Show, Happy Wednesday.
1:46:35
Speaker 3: Happy Hunt Day, Happy hump Day, my friend. Wish Joe
1:46:38
Speaker 3: well and thanks Danny for a cover and last minute
1:46:41
Speaker 3: you know, Amen, a good team work. That's about it.
1:46:46
Speaker 3: Just don't wished well and have a good listener once
1:46:50
Speaker 3: today and just wish and Joe well. You know what
1:46:52
Speaker 3: I'm saying.
1:46:52
Speaker 1: I do you know what you're saying. And let me
1:46:54
Speaker 1: get a real quick response from you on this, Bobby,
1:46:56
Speaker 1: because you usually mentioned firearms from time to time, and
1:46:58
Speaker 1: you and I are both big believers in the second.
1:47:00
Speaker 1: Do you think the situation in Iran would be different
1:47:03
Speaker 1: if the citizenry was armed. Let's say we sprinkle three
1:47:06
Speaker 1: hundred or so million ar fifteens over the country there.
1:47:11
Speaker 1: Do you think the situation would be different? Would they
1:47:13
Speaker 1: be ruled under the thumb of an oppressive mullah.
1:47:17
Speaker 3: I've got a book for you that shows the pre
1:47:19
Speaker 3: events and everything Ukraine because they were not armed. It's
1:47:23
Speaker 3: no different in Gus and everything. Poor Jewish state people
1:47:26
Speaker 3: over there and they weren't armed. If you're not being
1:47:29
Speaker 3: able to protect yourself and protect your family, you're gonna
1:47:32
Speaker 3: have problems when you have energy comes about. And right
1:47:36
Speaker 3: now we're arming the Curds and have been for the
1:47:38
Speaker 3: last four and a half weeks up in the northern
1:47:41
Speaker 3: part of Iran. So we're arming the Kurds right now
1:47:44
Speaker 3: to go ahead and help the population. They haven't advertised
1:47:47
Speaker 3: a yet, that's a fact.
1:47:50
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and something in the back of my mind
1:47:52
Speaker 1: was suggesting exactly that we got CIA operatives literally in
1:47:55
Speaker 1: the four corners of the globe, and quite often they're
1:47:58
Speaker 1: the ones who ferry and facilitate the transfer of arms
1:48:01
Speaker 1: and other things to those who need it on the
1:48:02
Speaker 1: front lines. So appreciated Bobby as always eight nineteen here
1:48:09
Speaker 1: fifty five kros the talk station every Wednesday. If I
1:48:14
Speaker 1: went three seven, four nine fifty eight hundred eight two
1:48:16
Speaker 1: three talkco time five fifty. If you have an eighteen
1:48:18
Speaker 1: T phone, feel free to call me up. Judge Jita Polatano.
1:48:21
Speaker 1: Next on freedom of speech, cribbage, Mike, my submarine or friend.
1:48:24
Speaker 1: Looking forward to listener lunch today, expecting to walk away
1:48:28
Speaker 1: with defeat, which is typical with me. But it's okay.
1:48:31
Speaker 1: I can handle it because I do beat you from
1:48:32
Speaker 1: time to time. Welcome back, my friend.
1:48:35
Speaker 6: Thank you, Brian. Yeah, looking forward to a hearty gain
1:48:37
Speaker 6: and my lovely bride and I once again are going
1:48:41
Speaker 6: to one of the Price State's establishments for the first time.
1:48:45
Speaker 6: One of the beauties of listener lunch, and I've been
1:48:48
Speaker 6: hearing a lot of good things about it, so looking
1:48:50
Speaker 6: forward to the fellowship, the food, and the game of cards.
1:48:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you hit the nail on the head. I
1:48:54
Speaker 1: really have enjoyed going to restaurants over the past. Coming
1:48:57
Speaker 1: up on well, it's twenty years I've been on behind
1:48:59
Speaker 1: the Mic here December, but for about eighteen of those
1:49:02
Speaker 1: years we've been doing listener to Lunch. There are so
1:49:04
Speaker 1: many places I have got at listened to lunch I
1:49:06
Speaker 1: never even had heard of before in show. Snow's Lakeside
1:49:09
Speaker 1: Tavern happens to be one of those. My former salesperson,
1:49:12
Speaker 1: Debbie Howeller, is responsible. She assists me with lining these
1:49:15
Speaker 1: up and she's the one that found Snows and apparently
1:49:17
Speaker 1: the folks that Snows are really excited about having us today.
1:49:20
Speaker 1: I just know that I'm going to have a good
1:49:21
Speaker 1: time because the listeners like you are going to be there.
1:49:23
Speaker 6: So anyway, well, I have no doubt that we are
1:49:27
Speaker 6: going to make the Snows stay up to day.
1:49:29
Speaker 1: I hope, So, I hope we don't overwhelm them. You know,
1:49:32
Speaker 1: there have been times, Mike, over the years, Well, we
1:49:35
Speaker 1: show up and sometimes larger numbers. Typically it's i'd say, average,
1:49:39
Speaker 1: what do you say about fifty to seventy people? Mike, sure, okay, Well,
1:49:44
Speaker 1: and sometimes it's more than that and wait staff for like,
1:49:46
Speaker 1: what the hell happened? It's a Wednesday. Nobody's ever here
1:49:49
Speaker 1: on a Wednesday. So I'm pleased to help support the
1:49:53
Speaker 1: independently owned restaurants in the greater Cincinnati area. So and
1:49:57
Speaker 1: I'm glad you why.
1:49:57
Speaker 6: I want to give a good, good Yeah, I want
1:49:59
Speaker 6: to give a big shit out to all the poll
1:50:01
Speaker 6: workers in the Tri state area.
1:50:03
Speaker 7: But predominantly I have.
1:50:04
Speaker 6: A special place in my heart from my group out
1:50:06
Speaker 6: here in Clarmont County that spent fifteen wonderful hours together yesterday.
1:50:10
Speaker 6: And you know, just talking about listener lunch, Brian, that's
1:50:13
Speaker 6: kind of what my group reminds me of. You got
1:50:16
Speaker 6: sixteen dedicated, like minded people that want to assist in
1:50:20
Speaker 6: the election, but by law we're eight and eight down
1:50:23
Speaker 6: to split down the middle, and you would never know it.
1:50:25
Speaker 6: It's people getting along facilitating the vote. And what was
1:50:29
Speaker 6: so heartening Yesterday is for the because I about eighty
1:50:33
Speaker 6: percent of my team is there, you know, every May,
1:50:36
Speaker 6: every November, but there's usually one or two due to
1:50:39
Speaker 6: you know, for whatever reason. I can't have one hundred
1:50:41
Speaker 6: percent so that we get new people. Yesterday, I had
1:50:44
Speaker 6: a young gentleman who did a phenomenal job one year
1:50:47
Speaker 6: out of high school. Had another young lady. It appeared
1:50:50
Speaker 6: to be I didn't want to ask great but appeared
1:50:52
Speaker 6: to be like early twenties. So it's so nice to
1:50:54
Speaker 6: see the youth getting involved as well. And another little
1:50:58
Speaker 6: anecdotal story of my voting location managers told me that
1:51:02
Speaker 6: she had a neighbor that was always skeptical about the
1:51:04
Speaker 6: election process here in Ohio. So she worked last November's
1:51:08
Speaker 6: election and they had a discussion afterwards, and she told
1:51:11
Speaker 6: me that yesterday she had no idea. It feels one
1:51:15
Speaker 6: thousand percent better about the integrity of our elections here
1:51:18
Speaker 6: in Ohio.
1:51:19
Speaker 1: Exactly. I knew you were going to say that, changing
1:51:22
Speaker 1: the hearts and minds of the doubters out there. It
1:51:24
Speaker 1: is a well oiled machiningy right. The Democrats and Republicans
1:51:28
Speaker 1: who worked the polls do play nicely together, you know,
1:51:30
Speaker 1: it's kind of funny, Mike. On that note, when I
1:51:33
Speaker 1: handed my driver's license over and the woman that was
1:51:37
Speaker 1: working the polls pulled up the options I had, which
1:51:40
Speaker 1: were Democrat, Libertarian or Republican slate. And as she rotated
1:51:44
Speaker 1: the screen to me to point out my three options
1:51:46
Speaker 1: to choose from, she had her finger pointing right at
1:51:50
Speaker 1: the Democrat ticket. And I obviously didn't hit that. I
1:51:54
Speaker 1: did vote with the Republican party, you though, I call
1:51:56
Speaker 1: myself a little libertarian, so I hit the Republican And
1:52:00
Speaker 1: I don't know that her reaction was a negative reaction,
1:52:02
Speaker 1: but it looked to me like I kind of caught
1:52:05
Speaker 1: her off guard and she wasn't really thrilled. I think
1:52:07
Speaker 1: you're a Publican valved but she didn't say.
1:52:09
Speaker 6: And that's what I'm glad that they instituted this year
1:52:12
Speaker 6: with the tamblet there, because before we used to have
1:52:15
Speaker 6: to ask them and a lot of voters that maybe
1:52:17
Speaker 6: could use a little bit more education about the primary process.
1:52:21
Speaker 6: You know, very look puzzled at us.
1:52:23
Speaker 7: You know, yeah, we don't.
1:52:24
Speaker 6: We don't go by what you voted for in to pass.
1:52:26
Speaker 6: In fact, I had a nice discussion with a young
1:52:28
Speaker 6: man from Virginia who just moved into the area. He
1:52:31
Speaker 6: pulled an issues only ballot because he said he didn't
1:52:34
Speaker 6: know that what he could do. I said, oh, yeah,
1:52:36
Speaker 6: you're no, I every every you know you picked the
1:52:38
Speaker 6: ballot you want. You know, you're not You're not tied
1:52:41
Speaker 6: to it. It isn't like in sub states where if
1:52:42
Speaker 6: you're a registered Republican or Democrat you have to go
1:52:45
Speaker 6: down to the board and reregister.
1:52:47
Speaker 1: Yeah.
1:52:47
Speaker 6: That, and so the beauty of yesterday being able to
1:52:49
Speaker 6: flip that screen and have four choices of Republican, Democrat, libertarian,
1:52:53
Speaker 6: or just an issues only ballot. Once again, Power to
1:52:56
Speaker 6: the people.
1:52:57
Speaker 1: Power the people. And thank you for working the polls, Mike,
1:52:59
Speaker 1: and of course your service to our country. I will
1:53:00
Speaker 1: look forward to trying to beat you at curbage listener
1:53:04
Speaker 1: on today snows like here. I am too man, Real quick, Joyce?
1:53:08
Speaker 1: Can we can take Joyce's call real quick? Joyce got
1:53:10
Speaker 1: about a minute left. Thanks for calling this morning.
1:53:13
Speaker 11: Hey, good morning, Brian. I also wanted to say I
1:53:16
Speaker 11: prayed for Joe immediately upon hearing.
1:53:18
Speaker 1: About his bad days.
1:53:20
Speaker 10: Thank you, You're welcome.
1:53:23
Speaker 3: I mean, I have the power of prayer.
1:53:24
Speaker 11: Is I'm Deny a ball. But just real quick, all
1:53:28
Speaker 11: those school levies that didn't pass. Yes, you know we
1:53:32
Speaker 11: voted against ours here I'm I'm a bin Clark County.
1:53:36
Speaker 11: But you know what, if we were getting in return
1:53:39
Speaker 11: on our investment and the children could read and do maths,
1:53:42
Speaker 11: they might get I mean, yeah, they're they're they're producing
1:53:49
Speaker 11: children they can't read pass the sixth grade level, and
1:53:54
Speaker 11: they're asking me.
1:53:55
Speaker 1: For more money for what, Joyce fair enough conclusion. I
1:54:00
Speaker 1: applaud your perception of the reality of that. Yes, if
1:54:04
Speaker 1: you're not getting what you expect from a school, which
1:54:06
Speaker 1: is core learning functions reading, writing, and arithmetic, and what
1:54:10
Speaker 1: you're getting is actual political indoctrination, a bunch of left
1:54:13
Speaker 1: wing nut job causes, that's not an environment you want
1:54:16
Speaker 1: your schools in. It's certainly not an environment you want
1:54:19
Speaker 1: your money going to support. Thank you, Joyce. Exclamation point.
1:54:24
Speaker 1: North College, Hill Levey failed, New Richmond Levy failed, least

1:55:31
Speaker 1: feel I'm blessed. I know a listening audience is always
1:55:33
Speaker 1: interested in hearing what Judge Enna Paula has not that
1:55:35
Speaker 1: Napolitana has to say about these legal issues that we
1:55:38
Speaker 1: encounter all the time. Welcome back, Judge Enna Polaton, and
1:55:40
Speaker 1: thanks for joining the show again.
1:55:41
Speaker 10: Thank you, thank you, Brian. It's a pleasure to be here.
1:55:44
Speaker 10: I'm not sure what Ingram was talking about neither mind.
1:55:46
Speaker 7: I do have a friend.
1:55:47
Speaker 10: I won't tell you who it is, a well known,
1:55:50
Speaker 10: well known public figure who has sambuca with his espresso
1:55:55
Speaker 10: every morning. But he made me promise not to say
1:55:58
Speaker 10: who it is, not me, because I wouldn't drink at
1:56:00
Speaker 10: that hour of the day.
1:56:01
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I gotta wait till at least ten
1:56:03
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning to start getting your drink on. Jude,
1:56:07
Speaker 1: in these trying times.
1:56:09
Speaker 10: About espresso in my.
1:56:12
Speaker 1: Column, Good for you and your column. I you know,
1:56:15
Speaker 1: you know what I wrote on the top of your column,
1:56:17
Speaker 1: and I read it yesterday, and I think you made
1:56:19
Speaker 1: great points there. But for the grace of God, go
1:56:23
Speaker 1: anybody that participates in social media in any way, shape
1:56:26
Speaker 1: or form. If the government can go after you for
1:56:29
Speaker 1: a free speech post, and it's their decision about what
1:56:33
Speaker 1: constitutes I guess an actionable offense, We've got a lot
1:56:36
Speaker 1: of people that are going to be hauled in and
1:56:37
Speaker 1: be subject to criminal prosecution by the FBI. This is
1:56:41
Speaker 1: talking about James Comey's I think vile post about eighty
1:56:46
Speaker 1: six forty seven, which everyone interpreted, as you point out,
1:56:49
Speaker 1: in your column eighty six referring to basically killing something
1:56:52
Speaker 1: or not offering anymore and forty seven. Of course a
1:56:55
Speaker 1: reference to President Trump. At least that's how many interpreted it.
1:57:00
Speaker 1: Judge Enna Paltano, this is a square in the wheelhouse,
1:57:03
Speaker 1: a protected speech in this country.
1:57:05
Speaker 10: Yeah, absolutely is. When confronted with us on the Sunday
1:57:11
Speaker 10: talk shows, Todd blanche, the acting Attorney General of the
1:57:14
Speaker 10: United States, said, well, we have more evidence that we
1:57:17
Speaker 10: can't reveal. Well, what more evidence do you have and
1:57:20
Speaker 10: why can't you reveal it? How serious a threat did
1:57:25
Speaker 10: the government believe this was if they sat on it
1:57:28
Speaker 10: for a year and a half before they decided to
1:57:31
Speaker 10: do anything about it. This is little more than the
1:57:35
Speaker 10: President using the Department of Justice to make life miserable
1:57:39
Speaker 10: for a person who made life miserable for him. Yeah,
1:57:43
Speaker 10: Jim Comey, and he was the head of the FBI.
1:57:45
Speaker 10: I mean, under Jim Comey's stewardship, Mister Donald Trump, we're
1:57:51
Speaker 10: back in twenty and fifteen. Now was surveilled by the government.
1:57:58
Speaker 10: I mean, this is now a well established At the
1:58:01
Speaker 10: time I made this allegation, I was excoriated at Fox,
1:58:04
Speaker 10: But it's now well established that this happened. The President's
1:58:09
Speaker 10: animosity board Comy is prof is palpable and understandable.
1:58:16
Speaker 1: As much as Comy's as much as Comy's for Trump,
1:58:21
Speaker 1: I said, as much as Comy's animosity to Trump, They're on,
1:58:24
Speaker 1: They're equal in their dislife.
1:58:28
Speaker 10: That does not give the d O J Cart launched
1:58:31
Speaker 10: the press kute somebody for speech. Look, this was a
1:58:33
Speaker 10: stupid thing for him to have posted, but stupidity is
1:58:37
Speaker 10: not a felony. But where we couldn't build, we couldn't
1:58:40
Speaker 10: build enough jails.
1:58:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's I was thinking of literally almost every
1:58:45
Speaker 1: Hollywood celebrity who came out with something far more vile
1:58:48
Speaker 1: than what Coney Coney put up. You know, the severed
1:58:50
Speaker 1: head of Donald Trump, you know, in in the in
1:58:53
Speaker 1: in that one so called comedian's hand, and you know
1:58:56
Speaker 1: the the suggestions of violence towards Trump. All of every
1:58:59
Speaker 1: single hue human being who did anything like that could
1:59:01
Speaker 1: be subject to the same kind of prosecution.
1:59:05
Speaker 10: You're exactly right. So that's why the whole purpose of
1:59:09
Speaker 10: the first of the First Amendment is to keep the
1:59:12
Speaker 10: government out of the business of speech. So if I'm
1:59:16
Speaker 10: haranguing a crowd and Hillary Clinton walks by and I
1:59:21
Speaker 10: say to the crowd, there's Hillary, let's get her, and
1:59:24
Speaker 10: the crowd descends on her. I can be prosecuted for
1:59:28
Speaker 10: incitement to violence. But if I'm haranguing a crowd and
1:59:32
Speaker 10: I say I wish somebody would get Hillary Clinton and
1:59:36
Speaker 10: nobody is around there, it is absolutely protected speech. In
1:59:42
Speaker 10: Comy's case, there is no incitement produced by it. There
1:59:48
Speaker 10: for the speech is protected. And no matter how vile,
1:59:51
Speaker 10: no matter how personal, no matter how offful wall it
1:59:56
Speaker 10: may be. That's why we have a First Amendment to
1:59:58
Speaker 10: protect the speech we hate. The speech we like doesn't
2:00:01
Speaker 10: need any protection.
2:00:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think the worst example of you know,
2:00:05
Speaker 1: hate speech we all can really point to and say,
2:00:08
Speaker 1: no one agrees with that clown is that Brandenburg versus
2:00:11
Speaker 1: Ohio case where the clan leader was encouraging violence against
2:00:14
Speaker 1: blacks and Jewish people. That is protected. Nobody likes the klan,
2:00:18
Speaker 1: nobody thinks we should. You know, well, I see nobody
2:00:20
Speaker 1: with a broadbrush. But you get the point. If that's protected,
2:00:23
Speaker 1: you got to take the good with the bad. That's
2:00:25
Speaker 1: the point of the First Amendment.
2:00:27
Speaker 10: Correct. Correct The Brandenburg case, which took place not far
2:00:32
Speaker 10: from where you are now is the classic defense of
2:00:36
Speaker 10: free speech. He's in Ohio. He encourages violence against blacks
2:00:40
Speaker 10: and Jewish people in Washington, d C. No violence comes about.
2:00:45
Speaker 10: The Supreme Court says, this speech was inoculus, and all
2:00:48
Speaker 10: innocuous speech is protected, and all speeches inoculous when there
2:00:52
Speaker 10: is time for more speech to reject and neutralize it,
2:00:56
Speaker 10: which in the Brandenburg case there was. He was convicted
2:01:00
Speaker 10: in an Ohio trial court. His conviction was upheld in
2:01:05
Speaker 10: an Ohio appellate court. The Ohio Supreme Court refused to
2:01:09
Speaker 10: hear his appeal. He filed an appeal to the Supreme
2:01:12
Speaker 10: Court of the United States, which unanimously reversed his conviction.
2:01:16
Speaker 10: End of story.
2:01:17
Speaker 1: End of story. It's on the books and it's been
2:01:20
Speaker 1: the law since what nineteen sixty nine. So with that
2:01:23
Speaker 1: guy in mind, I got to ask the goohead.
2:01:28
Speaker 10: I also found a case I didn't know existed when
2:01:30
Speaker 10: doing my research of some kid.
2:01:33
Speaker 7: He was a kid at the time.
2:01:34
Speaker 10: He's my age now, who when drafted in nineteen sixty
2:01:39
Speaker 10: six that a Senate the government puts a rifle in
2:01:41
Speaker 10: my hand LBJLB in my cross heres. He was convicted
2:01:45
Speaker 10: for threatening to kill the President of the United States
2:01:49
Speaker 10: unanimously reversed by the Supreme Court.
2:01:53
Speaker 1: Of course, this isn't support for threatening to kill the
2:01:55
Speaker 1: president the United States of America, but it is a
2:01:56
Speaker 1: reflection of how broad our free speech rights are acted. Correct,
2:02:02
Speaker 1: you don't. If you don't like that, then go ahead
2:02:04
Speaker 1: and move to the United Kingdom, where you have no
2:02:06
Speaker 1: free speech rights. Unfortunately, briefly though, because we're you know,
2:02:10
Speaker 1: you and I are speaking right now to a listening
2:02:12
Speaker 1: audience that I'm sure is not comprised of a bunch
2:02:14
Speaker 1: of James Comy fans, most notably given the Russia Gate
2:02:16
Speaker 1: and all the links he has to that. Of course
2:02:18
Speaker 1: he's subject to a DOJ subpoena in connection with that.
2:02:21
Speaker 1: All of our popcorn out collectively waiting to find out
2:02:23
Speaker 1: what that reveals. But pivoting back to your comment about
2:02:26
Speaker 1: other evidence, well we don't. You don't have all of
2:02:28
Speaker 1: the information in reference to Comy's eighty six forty two post.
2:02:32
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that information be in the the the indictment or
2:02:36
Speaker 1: the criminal charge? Well, what's missing here, I'm it's.
2:02:42
Speaker 10: Not, which is why those of us who monitor it
2:02:45
Speaker 10: for a living are questioning what the Heck is Todd
2:02:48
Speaker 10: blintch talking about if they have evidence that he planned
2:02:52
Speaker 10: and plotted to harm the president, they're applied to lay
2:02:55
Speaker 10: that evidence out in the indict and then it's not there.
2:02:59
Speaker 1: Well, I guess sounds me like a motion to dismiss.
2:03:03
Speaker 10: Well, emotion to dismiss is coming, probably on First Amendment grounds,
2:03:08
Speaker 10: and that will force the government to cough up whatever
2:03:11
Speaker 10: else it has. And then if it's anything substantial, and
2:03:14
Speaker 10: I can't imagine what it could be, but if it's
2:03:17
Speaker 10: something substantial and credible, then company's lawyers will have to
2:03:20
Speaker 10: deal with it, and I'll have to reevaluate what I said.
2:03:23
Speaker 10: Maybe this is not a First Amendment case, but on
2:03:26
Speaker 10: the basis of the indictment, yeah, the charge instant. This
2:03:30
Speaker 10: is pure speech and it's absolutely protected in speech and
2:03:34
Speaker 10: speak alone. It is unaccompanied by any other behavior alleged
2:03:39
Speaker 10: in the indictment.
2:03:40
Speaker 1: Well, I will note that even if it is not
2:03:42
Speaker 1: a free speech case, ultimately your comments provide a wonderful
2:03:46
Speaker 1: the indictment based upon your perception serves as a wonderful
2:03:49
Speaker 1: springboard to remind us how broad our free speech rights are.
2:03:52
Speaker 1: And again, thank God for it. Real quick here, if
2:03:55
Speaker 1: swirling in the background of all this is the burn
2:03:57
Speaker 1: bag stuff, the Russia gate bag, that apparently on some
2:04:00
Speaker 1: level may reveal that this was a concerted, coordinated plot
2:04:05
Speaker 1: by folks in the Justice Department to go after Donald Trump.
2:04:09
Speaker 1: If that is true, and maybe some of the subpoene
2:04:12
Speaker 1: information and the research will will bear that out, is
2:04:15
Speaker 1: that a prosecutable offense, the coordinated effort to undermine Donald Trump?
2:04:20
Speaker 10: Not anymore because the statummentations this five years than it's.
2:04:24
Speaker 1: Passed missed opportunity.
2:04:28
Speaker 10: Yes, yes, it would have to have been done in
2:04:33
Speaker 10: the Biden administration or in the first year of the
2:04:37
Speaker 10: Trump administration. But it's more than five years since all
2:04:41
Speaker 10: this happened. Yeah, why the Trump DOJ sat on it?
2:04:47
Speaker 10: It tells me either they had other priorities or there's
2:04:50
Speaker 10: no there there.
2:04:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this burn Bag, with all this juicy information,
2:04:55
Speaker 1: it sounds like it's a brand new breaking story now.
2:04:56
Speaker 1: They found this last year. Even casp Tell even said
2:05:00
Speaker 1: an interview last year that you're going to see everything
2:05:02
Speaker 1: we found in that room one way or another. But
2:05:05
Speaker 1: as of at least the time of our current conversation,
2:05:07
Speaker 1: Judge of polatano I haven't seen any documents, and I
2:05:10
Speaker 1: don't believe that any documents have been released from that
2:05:12
Speaker 1: burn bag hmm.
2:05:14
Speaker 10: You know, mate, Worse than making a promise and not
2:05:16
Speaker 10: keeping it is making a promise that cannot be kept.
2:05:19
Speaker 10: I don't know why they keep boasting about what's going
2:05:22
Speaker 10: to come out, just like with Epstein. Yes, and then
2:05:25
Speaker 10: nothing is there.
2:05:26
Speaker 1: I know I wrote at the top of the article
2:05:28
Speaker 1: about that Epstein files. Question mark, Judge editor Poltano.
2:05:33
Speaker 10: Did you know that the government released the jfk assassination
2:05:37
Speaker 10: files there was nothing there? Yeah, meaning the CIA or
2:05:40
Speaker 10: somebody denuded the files before they were released.
2:05:43
Speaker 1: Yep. Well maybe there's a room that's not on any
2:05:47
Speaker 1: any blueprint where those documents are being held currently, Judge
2:05:51
Speaker 1: and Polatan like this burn bag room. Judge of Polatano,
2:05:54
Speaker 1: it's Judging Freedom the Man's podcast. You got to check
2:05:57
Speaker 1: it out throughout the week, Judge of Poultana, who are
2:05:58
Speaker 1: you going to speaking with today?
2:06:00
Speaker 10: I have a professor Muhammed Mirandi born in Alexandria, Virginia,
2:06:05
Speaker 10: now professor of literature at the University of Tehran, who
2:06:09
Speaker 10: comes on with me most Wednesday to tell me about
2:06:13
Speaker 10: life in Iran. To the Professor Glenn Dieson from Norway
2:06:19
Speaker 10: who fills us in on the European reaction to the
2:06:22
Speaker 10: war in Iran and the war in Ukraine. Pepe Escobar
2:06:27
Speaker 10: from Beijing, and Phil Geraldi, the CIA agent whom Bush
2:06:33
Speaker 10: kicked out of his office when he told them what
2:06:35
Speaker 10: we now all know, Saddam Hussein did not have weapons
2:06:38
Speaker 10: of miss destruction.
2:06:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, another regular guest on a Wednesdays on your show.
2:06:41
Speaker 1: As I've come to understand, we'll check it out. Judging
2:06:44
Speaker 1: Freedom Judge of Politano. Tune in every Wednesday at eight
2:06:47
Speaker 1: thirty for the legal analysis from our dear friend, the
2:06:50
Speaker 1: Judge of Platano. Have a great week, my friend. We'll
2:06:52
Speaker 1: talk again next week.
2:06:54
Speaker 10: Back at you, Brian, Thank you well, thank us.
2:06:56
Speaker 1: Thank you. Eighteen fifty one here you KERCD talk station.
2:07:00
Speaker 1: A few minutes left here If you like to use
2:07:02
Speaker 1: up the time by calling in, I'd love to hear
2:07:04
Speaker 1: from me five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five
2:07:06
Speaker 1: hundred eight hundred eight two three talk one more opportunity
2:07:08
Speaker 1: for as the listening audience prayers for Joe Strecker. He
2:07:11
Speaker 1: had a medical emergency yesterday. He ended up in the hospital.
2:07:14
Speaker 1: They did send him home at some point last night,
2:07:16
Speaker 1: and I was glad to hear that that's a breaking
2:07:17
Speaker 1: piece of development this morning. I don't know anything about
2:07:20
Speaker 1: his condition, what led him to the hospital, but couldn't
2:07:23
Speaker 1: make it into work today. And that's bad enough for
2:07:25
Speaker 1: me and sufficient enough for me to ask for the
2:07:27
Speaker 1: power of prayer on behalf of Joe Strecker. So thank
2:07:31
Speaker 1: you very much for all those who helped out along
2:07:33
Speaker 1: those lines. Keep them up until we get Joe back. Right,
2:07:35
Speaker 1: Danny Gleeson covering for Joe'strecker. Danny doing a great job
2:07:39
Speaker 1: dealing with the situation this morning. And yeah, further to
2:07:43
Speaker 1: the point, Cash Betel, you know, it's interesting because Cash
2:07:48
Speaker 1: Betel and Dan Bonginia both on Hannity's podcast talking about
2:07:52
Speaker 1: this you know, burnbag, and again this has made it
2:07:55
Speaker 1: to the top of the news again because this is
2:07:57
Speaker 1: something that we found out about last year which has
2:07:59
Speaker 1: me scratching my had allah the Epstein files. So he's
2:08:02
Speaker 1: on the podcast and he said more than one burn
2:08:05
Speaker 1: bag was found inside a secret room locked away at
2:08:08
Speaker 1: the FBI headquarters. Apparently didn't even have the key to
2:08:10
Speaker 1: the room. It wasn't even this room on the blueprints,
2:08:15
Speaker 1: sort of an interesting line of inquiry that they went
2:08:17
Speaker 1: on down that and so the documents were not burned
2:08:21
Speaker 1: in the burn bag. Name suggests that that's what it's for.
2:08:24
Speaker 1: You put the documents in the bag. It's intended to
2:08:26
Speaker 1: be destroyed, burned or otherwise completely shredded up. So question mark,
2:08:31
Speaker 1: how was it there? Some are saying, well, maybe it
2:08:33
Speaker 1: was they wanted someone whoever they are, wanted the documents
2:08:37
Speaker 1: to be found. And the suggestions are it was the
2:08:40
Speaker 1: revelation of this Russia Gate plot against Trump plot. The
2:08:46
Speaker 1: important word because it was a lie. It's all been
2:08:48
Speaker 1: born out through all the years we had to deal
2:08:50
Speaker 1: with Racha RuSHA, Russia, Russia and Pencil next Shift and
2:08:53
Speaker 1: all the others screaming and yelling about how Donald Trump,
2:08:55
Speaker 1: you know, was colluding with the Russians. It was all
2:08:57
Speaker 1: made up. Hillary Clinton paid for the dossier. It was
2:09:01
Speaker 1: all made up dossier. And boy wasn't at front page
2:09:04
Speaker 1: headline factual information when it came out and you were
2:09:07
Speaker 1: lied to. So if this burn bag has in it
2:09:10
Speaker 1: what cash Betel suggests and what Dan Bongino also suggests,
2:09:13
Speaker 1: he even felt his life is on the line. Dan Bongini,
2:09:16
Speaker 1: he said he walks around every day worried about it.
2:09:17
Speaker 1: This is our government. This is the kind of thing
2:09:22
Speaker 1: I never ever, ever, ever woulded to believe for a moment.
2:09:25
Speaker 1: We're better than that. Are in TWI maybe not? But
2:09:31
Speaker 1: what of the documents. That's why I'm saying they are
2:09:34
Speaker 1: like the Epstein files. Documents stuffed in burn bag at
2:09:39
Speaker 1: FBI headquarters may be a to be made public headline
2:09:43
Speaker 1: from the Epic Times November thirtieth last year, where they
2:09:49
Speaker 1: reported sensitive documents found in these burn bags at FBI
2:09:52
Speaker 1: headquarters will all be made public. Quote FBI Director Cash Betel,
2:09:58
Speaker 1: You're going to see everything we found in that room
2:10:01
Speaker 1: in one way or another, be it through investigation, public trial,
2:10:04
Speaker 1: or disclosure to Congress. So we're gonna put those in
2:10:08
Speaker 1: the category of the Epstein files. I guess now, maybe
2:10:11
Speaker 1: that since they've issued a subpoena to Comy about his
2:10:18
Speaker 1: role in the twenty seventeen Intelligence Community assessment on Russian
2:10:21
Speaker 1: election interference, maybe some of these documents will use when
2:10:24
Speaker 1: he is deposed or otherwise hauled in front of Congress
2:10:27
Speaker 1: to talk about this. But I was a little disheartened
2:10:29
Speaker 1: to find out that, in spite of the fact that
2:10:30
Speaker 1: this could have been a criminal claim brought against Kmye
2:10:33
Speaker 1: or anybody else involved in trying to basically overthrow Trump
2:10:36
Speaker 1: impeach him based upon fraudulent information. And some of me really,
2:10:42
Speaker 1: really really hopes that Judge and Politano is flat out wrong,
2:10:47
Speaker 1: that the Statute of Limitations has passed on. That there's
2:10:50
Speaker 1: something else that you can fester in the back of
2:10:53
Speaker 1: your mind and contemplate. If they had all the goods,
2:10:57
Speaker 1: why wasn't a challenge or a case brought before. Why
2:11:00
Speaker 1: wasn't the first order of business when Trump was sworn
2:11:02
Speaker 1: in in January. I can't answer that question, but it
2:11:05
Speaker 1: sure is really gotten under my skin this morning. A
2:11:09
Speaker 1: fifty five Alex Charantifilo, High Republican Party chair joined the
2:11:13
Speaker 1: program this morning to talk about the outcome of the
2:11:15
Speaker 1: primaries and the takeaway from that. We are going to
2:11:18
Speaker 1: have to show up in November and vote. Do everything
2:11:21
Speaker 1: you can to show up in November and vote, maybe,
2:11:23
Speaker 1: joined Jonathan and Neil Americans for Prosperity AFP action dot Com.
2:11:27
Speaker 1: Donovan joined the program to talk about just that this morning.
2:11:30
Speaker 1: Sandwiched in between brilliant as always Big Picture with Jack Addidan,

2:11:37
Speaker 1: talking about Memorial Day, fast approaching, remembering those who gave
2:11:40
Speaker 1: the ultimate sacrifice in service to this great country of ours,
2:11:43
Speaker 1: and finally, of course judgment. Polatana podcasts are all there.
