Speaker 1: Five oh five, fifty five KRC, the talk station. Happy
0:12
Speaker 1: Wednesday Tuesday.
0:17
Speaker 2: Some say, will.
0:26
Speaker 1: Va Caul Kenny Loggins because you're in the danger zone.
0:31
Speaker 1: Yes you are, maybe brid Thomas right here. Glad to
0:34
Speaker 1: be hosting the fifty five KRC morning show. And I'm
0:36
Speaker 1: glad Joe Strecker's executive producer because well, without Joe has
0:38
Speaker 1: always pointing out the show don't go. Ron Wilson coined
0:41
Speaker 1: that phrase and he was right. And without Joe we
0:44
Speaker 1: don't have guests. And today's guests include yay for Wednesday.
0:47
Speaker 1: I always love Wednesdays. Jack advid in seven oh five.
0:50
Speaker 1: Every Wednesday with a big picture today the surprising way
0:54
Speaker 1: the Brits view to our revolution that should be very interesting,
0:58
Speaker 1: always weaving history into his commentary about modern political affairs.
1:01
Speaker 1: Jack added in seven five Donovan and Neil. It is Wednesday,
1:04
Speaker 1: seven thirty with Donovan Neil, a senior advisor for Americans
1:06
Speaker 1: for Prosperity Action in Ohio. Yes, primaries next week. He's
1:11
Speaker 1: got some endorsements he wants to push your way and
1:13
Speaker 1: a reminder there are seventy four I mentioned this the
1:18
Speaker 1: other day, the importance of primaries. If you don't I
1:20
Speaker 1: mean most people. Ah, I'm not going to show up
1:22
Speaker 1: ten percent of the vote. Your vote is unbelievably important.
1:27
Speaker 1: Tom's Awastowski pointed that out yesterday we the People Convention,
1:30
Speaker 1: dott or if you didn't get here in podcast fifty
1:31
Speaker 1: five cares dot com. So if only ten percent of
1:34
Speaker 1: the people vote, clearly your vote is weighted more heavily
1:36
Speaker 1: into primaries. To get out and vote in the primary.
1:39
Speaker 1: But you've also got school levies and seventy four of
1:42
Speaker 1: them on the ballot in Ohio, seventy four. That to
1:47
Speaker 1: me is a reason to get up off the couch
1:49
Speaker 1: in and of itself. But donaliel on primaries. Next week,
1:53
Speaker 1: we'll hear from him at seven thirty, follow by Keith Faber,
1:55
Speaker 1: running for Ohio Attorney General. We will talk about waste.
1:58
Speaker 1: We'll talk about theft of felt taxpayer dollars, local agencies
2:02
Speaker 1: being targeted by criminals. He'll introduce us to that topic.
2:06
Speaker 1: And finally, rising cost of higher education. Add the rise
2:09
Speaker 1: and cost of higher education to the rising cost of
2:11
Speaker 1: everything going on right now, and brace yourself for the
2:15
Speaker 1: war of attrition, which is the direction we're going to
2:17
Speaker 1: be going here with the situation with the Iranians and
2:21
Speaker 1: the stalled negotiations. Now basically with the most recent Trani
2:28
Speaker 1: Tehran proposal, which is, you know, you open the ports up,
2:32
Speaker 1: our ports, let us you know, traffic, our oil and
2:35
Speaker 1: goods and services in and out, so we have an economy.
2:37
Speaker 1: We'll open up the straight of horror moves, and we
2:39
Speaker 1: will delay talks about the nuclear program. Donald Trump says, no,
2:42
Speaker 1: the whole thing's about nuclear program. We need some concessions
2:45
Speaker 1: on that. So where does Trump go his options? Well,
2:48
Speaker 1: status quo, which is the war of attrition, which means
2:50
Speaker 1: the global economy gets hit. You and I are now
2:52
Speaker 1: paying four dollars and eighteen cents a gallon lease sets
2:56
Speaker 1: the national average. It's gone up like a buck or
2:59
Speaker 1: more since the conflicts started. I have more details on
3:02
Speaker 1: gasoline prices. That's obviously it's you know, that's a global phenomenon.
3:07
Speaker 1: So everybody around the globe is paying more and belt
3:09
Speaker 1: tightening and issuing, rationing and engaging in measures to avoid catastrophe.
3:14
Speaker 1: You've read all the articles. We've talked about a lot
3:16
Speaker 1: here in the Morning Show, but you get the point.
3:18
Speaker 1: The attrition battle is impacting globe. The attrition battles causing
3:22
Speaker 1: inflationary realities here in the United States. Of course, when
3:25
Speaker 1: gas goes up and diesel has gone up a lot,
3:27
Speaker 1: everything gets more expensive, you know the laws of economy, economics,
3:31
Speaker 1: that's how it works. So we're all struggling, and guess what,
3:34
Speaker 1: there's an election in November. A lot of people are
3:37
Speaker 1: pointing to that, and you know, the Iranians are taking
3:39
Speaker 1: notice of that as well. They do pay attention to
3:40
Speaker 1: American politics. And if you've got Donald Trump and the
3:43
Speaker 1: Republicans backed into a corner because they're worried about the election,
3:46
Speaker 1: that gives the Iranians leverage. Well, and they're failing economy
3:51
Speaker 1: and starvation and runaway inflation gives the Trump administration leverage.
3:56
Speaker 1: The fact that they have no place sells pretty much
3:58
Speaker 1: close to no playce cell st store their oil ripple
4:01
Speaker 1: effect of that they won't be able to pump the
4:03
Speaker 1: oil anymore. If some of these older production facilities go idle.
4:09
Speaker 1: It's the idle part that creates problems. I've read about that.
4:12
Speaker 1: It's kind of strange what goes on below the wellhead.
4:16
Speaker 1: You know, things back up, deposits get created. It reduces
4:19
Speaker 1: the flow of oil. If you try to reopen in
4:21
Speaker 1: the future. So this is a longer term problem for
4:23
Speaker 1: the Iranians. Can they go back to full oil production
4:28
Speaker 1: after these shutdown of these wells to the extent they
4:30
Speaker 1: have to shut them down? So we're in this again
4:32
Speaker 1: attrition stage. Now he could Donald Trump could resume bombing
4:36
Speaker 1: or just say we're done. I note that the we'd
4:39
Speaker 1: done part might implicate the War Powers Act. The sixtieth
4:43
Speaker 1: day fast approaching, although there's been no will from Congress
4:47
Speaker 1: to stop the war via voting on the War Powers
4:50
Speaker 1: Resolution shot down, no authorization used, the military force, no
4:53
Speaker 1: declaration of war. And remember if they passed the War
4:56
Speaker 1: Power essolation, it's a law, so it came out of Congress.
5:01
Speaker 1: Donald Trump could veto it, and you need to overcome
5:04
Speaker 1: the veto, and there is no will in Congress to
5:06
Speaker 1: go down that road. So anyway, status quo in spite
5:11
Speaker 1: of the legal realities. Donald Trump has control over this
5:15
Speaker 1: entire conflict. So continue bombing or just pull the plug
5:18
Speaker 1: completely walk away. And I don't know that that would
5:22
Speaker 1: do us any good. People would look back and go,
5:24
Speaker 1: what was this all about? We didn't really accomplish anything
5:27
Speaker 1: except expending a lot of our military hardware trying to
5:30
Speaker 1: bomb Iron into the last or even prior centuries, but
5:35
Speaker 1: still the same administration in place and the aspirations for
5:39
Speaker 1: nuclear weapons remains in place as well. So that's where
5:44
Speaker 1: we are unilatterally stopping the conflict, a quick exit relief
5:49
Speaker 1: for you and me and the global economy, but again
5:53
Speaker 1: giving Tehran the upper hand with the straight of horror
5:56
Speaker 1: moves in the future and as well as their nuclear
5:59
Speaker 1: program starting hostilities that could hurt Iranians, but it would
6:04
Speaker 1: likely react by Again, this is something Daniel Davis points out,
6:07
Speaker 1: and I got a lot of listeners aren't happy with
6:08
Speaker 1: Daniel davis analysis. You know, it is his opinion. We
6:12
Speaker 1: all have different opinions about that, but he has pointed
6:15
Speaker 1: out and it hasn't been widely reported. I don't think
6:18
Speaker 1: quite enough the damage the Iranians can and have done
6:22
Speaker 1: and are capable of doing in the future to the
6:25
Speaker 1: region's oil production. United Arab Emirates who just went so
6:29
Speaker 1: well breaking from Opek, they could get their facilities bombed.
6:32
Speaker 1: They're one of the biggest suppliers of oil on the planet,
6:35
Speaker 1: so the Iridians have a measure of leverage over oil production.
6:38
Speaker 1: Generally speaking, in the region. That's a problem, wreaking havoc
6:42
Speaker 1: on the Gulf energy infrastructure and increasing the cost of war.
6:48
Speaker 1: And of course there's that whole idea we may be
6:50
Speaker 1: pushed into putting boots on the ground, which no one wants.
6:53
Speaker 1: And the polling out here and it is, there's a
6:57
Speaker 1: new Gallup poll out I know what you feel about Poles,
7:00
Speaker 1: how you feel about Poles, but an indication of America's
7:02
Speaker 1: you know, approval or disapproval of this conflict. The majority
7:07
Speaker 1: of people of both political strives not really high on
7:10
Speaker 1: this war, don't like So that's another risk and problem
7:14
Speaker 1: you got going into November. People feeling a little bit
7:16
Speaker 1: stung by the war, in the ripple effect and dealing
7:18
Speaker 1: with the gasoline prices, et cetera. And that's going to
7:21
Speaker 1: weigh heavily against the Republicans. So apparently Trump's getting conflicting advice,
7:26
Speaker 1: some urging the administration to keep pressure on Tehran, others
7:30
Speaker 1: worrying about the shuttered straight of horror moves and well
7:33
Speaker 1: hurting the economy. And again the November elections. These are
7:36
Speaker 1: your issues. That's where we find ourselves today. And I
7:39
Speaker 1: got a call from my mom yesterday she was lamenting
7:41
Speaker 1: the increased price of gas. And yes, the US gas
7:45
Speaker 1: across the plains average price in the United States as
7:50
Speaker 1: of yesterday four dollars and eighteen cents highest level. And
7:55
Speaker 1: we have been here before. It wasn't even that long ago,
7:58
Speaker 1: four years ago, April of twenty two, twenty two, that
8:01
Speaker 1: was when it was higher than it is today. So
8:05
Speaker 1: we've got a one point six percent increase in one
8:07
Speaker 1: single day. And I think that's what prompted my mom's call,
8:09
Speaker 1: is like, wait a second, I was just sat out
8:11
Speaker 1: yesterday overnight the price went through the roof. Gas prices
8:16
Speaker 1: have surged about forty percent since the first bombs started
8:20
Speaker 1: dropping in the war with Iran. Quarter of the reporting
8:26
Speaker 1: ten dollars per bl per barrel up over the past
8:30
Speaker 1: week alone, forty percent higher than the levels seen before
8:33
Speaker 1: the US Israeli strikes on Iran. We West Texas Intermediate
8:38
Speaker 1: crew now about one hundred plus dollars a barrel. Other
8:41
Speaker 1: forms of crewed out in the world at high as
8:43
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten dollars a barrel. And here's where
8:46
Speaker 1: your problem is at the grocery store and elsewhere, because
8:48
Speaker 1: literally semis and Diesel runs the economy, diesel prices five
8:54
Speaker 1: dollars and forty six cents a gallon five dollars and
8:57
Speaker 1: forty cents a gallon. That's up forty five percent since
9:00
Speaker 1: the conflict started. So inflationary reality. Yes, So in Ohio,
9:09
Speaker 1: according to Triple A, we're about four dollars and seven
9:11
Speaker 1: cents average, although John Mattery's out and about from WCPO
9:17
Speaker 1: checking out the price round here four to twenty nine
9:19
Speaker 1: a gallon at multiple locations. Uh see spreet Speedway and
9:23
Speaker 1: Kroger and Norwood at four twenty nine. But you can
9:26
Speaker 1: find it in northern Kentucky a bit cheaper. He went
9:28
Speaker 1: out and found four nineteen at several stations, So it
9:32
Speaker 1: depends on where you go. Tom's usually out driving out
9:34
Speaker 1: about this morning. Maybe he's passing some gas stations. He's
9:37
Speaker 1: passed along some deals to us in the past. If
9:40
Speaker 1: you can save twenty five cents a gallon, would you
9:43
Speaker 1: drive out of your way to go do it? A
9:45
Speaker 1: lot of people are gonna be making choices like that,
9:48
Speaker 1: so we are not at a stalemate necessarily. But who
9:52
Speaker 1: do you think is gonna blink first? Who do you
9:56
Speaker 1: think is gonna blink first? And remember the crazies that
10:01
Speaker 1: run Iran, and they're still again swirling question marks out
10:04
Speaker 1: there over who really is running Iran? And my bets
10:07
Speaker 1: on the Revolutionary Guard the hardliners. If they're willing to
10:10
Speaker 1: slaughter tens of thousands of their own people in order
10:13
Speaker 1: to maintain control over the region, over the country, don't
10:16
Speaker 1: you think they'll put their people through misery and hell
10:19
Speaker 1: to maintain that control. I mean, if you're gonna kill them,
10:23
Speaker 1: I'm sure you have no problem with ruining the currency
10:25
Speaker 1: and starving them as well. Five sixteen fifty five kerr
10:28
Speaker 1: C Detalk Station five one three seven four nine fifty
10:31
Speaker 1: five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two three talk oh
10:33
Speaker 1: pound five fifty. If you have an AT and T
10:35
Speaker 1: phone and a story unrelated to war and conflict, an
10:38
Speaker 1: Orwellian story, one that scares the crap out of me,
10:40
Speaker 1: and I will not abide. Big brother is coming for
10:44
Speaker 1: your car. Don't go away, man. I love this place
10:50
Speaker 1: I've been serving. Here's five nineteen A happy one said
10:58
Speaker 1: Noos lakes I tavern next onesday for listener lunch. Hope
11:00
Speaker 1: to see you there about eleven thirty listener lunch. I
11:03
Speaker 1: love it for the fellowship seeing some folks and enjoying
11:05
Speaker 1: a bite out and getting out of the normal routine
11:08
Speaker 1: once a month, every first the first ones of every
11:10
Speaker 1: month absent like a holiday or some other conflicting event.
11:12
Speaker 1: Snows lakeside table. Let's get to the phone. See what
11:14
Speaker 1: Eddie's got this morning, Eddie, Happy Wednesday, thanks for calling.
11:18
Speaker 3: Thank you, Brian. I'm very disappointed in this prosecution of
11:23
Speaker 3: the war. They clearly, our administration clearly didn't anticipate Iran
11:34
Speaker 3: being able to retain control of the Straight of Horror Moves,
11:38
Speaker 3: which is a huge problem. Huge And now now it
11:43
Speaker 3: looks like we're negotiating but the greatest sponsor of terrorism
11:50
Speaker 3: in the history of the world.
11:51
Speaker 1: We are. You've summed it up nicely, Eddie. You know
11:57
Speaker 1: I don't as in so far as the administration. This
11:59
Speaker 1: is one of the reasons that people argue that Congress
12:01
Speaker 1: needs to be involved before war starts, to the extent
12:05
Speaker 1: possible that you know, these ideas that wait a second, wait, wait, wait,
12:09
Speaker 1: has anybody considered that the Strait of hor Moves might
12:11
Speaker 1: be closed major conflict in that particular region of the
12:16
Speaker 1: world where twenty percent of the global fuel supplies Natural
12:19
Speaker 1: gas oil flow in and out might have a profound
12:22
Speaker 1: impact globally. And you know, maybe the Trump people might say, well, geez,
12:25
Speaker 1: we're going into election in November. If we don't have
12:27
Speaker 1: things cleaned up by then in the Straits, if you
12:29
Speaker 1: could just sort of envision that conversation unfolding, if you're
12:33
Speaker 1: talking about it in advance of launching a military strike that,
12:37
Speaker 1: among other realities, go ahead, Eddie.
12:41
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Brian. I'm just stunned that the straight of
12:44
Speaker 3: her moves is not under our control completely. And I
12:49
Speaker 3: wonder what the termination of the Secretary of the Navy
12:53
Speaker 3: there last week or so, what was really behind that.
12:58
Speaker 3: I know there were some complaint it's about these small,
13:01
Speaker 3: uh fast boats attacking bankers. I don't I don't understand
13:08
Speaker 3: how they're even floating.
13:09
Speaker 4: Uh.
13:10
Speaker 3: I was told, as was the rest of the country,
13:13
Speaker 3: that their navy was at the bottom of the ocean. Yeah,
13:17
Speaker 3: yet these little, these little speedboats that you and I
13:21
Speaker 3: could go out and drink a couple of road sodas
13:23
Speaker 3: on and water or fit. Yes, sir, they're they're out
13:26
Speaker 3: there freaking havoc and and I don't understand it well.
13:30
Speaker 1: And that's see, this is a point Daniel Davis brought
13:32
Speaker 1: up and so far he's been right about that particular point. Yes,
13:35
Speaker 1: the big boats in the Navy, whatever destroyers or versions
13:38
Speaker 1: of that type of large military boats they had, that's
13:41
Speaker 1: easy target. Those were destroyed. But it's all these little boats.
13:44
Speaker 1: And David Davis pointed out, you know, he said, there
13:46
Speaker 1: are probably thousands of them the Runnians have control over,
13:49
Speaker 1: and don't just look for a specific you know, ordered
13:53
Speaker 1: to fulfill military purposes, mosquito boat that looks a certain
13:58
Speaker 1: way and acts a certain way. I mean, he pointed
14:00
Speaker 1: out just earlier this he was yesterday, that it's any
14:03
Speaker 1: kind of boat they have commandeered and use all types
14:07
Speaker 1: of commercial and private boats as well. You can't tell
14:10
Speaker 1: one from another. And there are a lot of legitimate
14:13
Speaker 1: reasons for people out there, like, for example, people who
14:15
Speaker 1: fish for a living or otherwise engage in whatever they're
14:18
Speaker 1: doing in the Strait of Hormuz. It's not just tankers,
14:21
Speaker 1: commercial and military. It's literally everything and literally any boat
14:27
Speaker 1: on the water, according to Daniel Davis. And I got
14:29
Speaker 1: to take him at his word on that because it
14:30
Speaker 1: makes perfect sense. Literally any watercraft could have a bomb
14:35
Speaker 1: on it. And then there's the issue of the mines,
14:38
Speaker 1: which and read up on the modern minds. These are
14:41
Speaker 1: frightening things. It isn't the old school, you know, magnetic,
14:44
Speaker 1: big giant ball that you got to bump into. As
14:46
Speaker 1: he pointed out yesterday again, there are little ones that
14:49
Speaker 1: can be moved around by remote control. They operate automatically
14:53
Speaker 1: or by remote control and blow things up. When the
14:56
Speaker 1: mine itself detects a boat above it, it releases itself
14:59
Speaker 1: from the bottom of the of the water and cut
15:02
Speaker 1: floats to the top and attaches itself to the boat,
15:04
Speaker 1: I guess, and blows up. But modern minds are a pain.
15:07
Speaker 1: They're easy to distribute. You can use one of these,
15:09
Speaker 1: let's say commercial fishing boats for example, loaded up with
15:13
Speaker 1: one hundred or so of these mines. They drop them overboard.
15:16
Speaker 1: This I'm boiling it down from my understanding of how
15:18
Speaker 1: they work. Tough to track that. How do you bring
15:20
Speaker 1: a giant navy ship quickly from one area to another
15:25
Speaker 1: to go after these watercraft. That's got to be tough
15:28
Speaker 1: to do. You'd think that they would have drone technology
15:30
Speaker 1: that could, you know, go over the sixteen mile area.
15:33
Speaker 1: How many square miles do we have to look at
15:35
Speaker 1: just keep flying drones over look for little watercraft. What
15:37
Speaker 1: specific watercraft are you looking for? I mean, are you
15:40
Speaker 1: going to blow up commercial boats? They'd have a legitimate
15:42
Speaker 1: reason to be out there. Oh my god, the family
15:45
Speaker 1: of fishermen have just been blown up by those evil Americans,
15:48
Speaker 1: kind of like Venezuela and blown up Venezuela and drug boats. Right, yeah,
15:52
Speaker 1: you say it's a boat full of drugs, and then
15:54
Speaker 1: someone says that was my family out fishing. Who's right?
15:58
Speaker 1: And I'm sure in the fog of war a lot
16:00
Speaker 1: of innocent boats will be blown up if that's the
16:02
Speaker 1: direction we go. So extraordinarily complicated, but again something that
16:06
Speaker 1: military planners could have easily contemplated. I would think, did
16:14
Speaker 1: you do the calculus on that ahead of time? Or
16:16
Speaker 1: is this something we just learned after launching the bombs.
16:18
Speaker 1: Y're dropping the bombs, so I appreciate the opportunity to
16:23
Speaker 1: kind of explore that with you, my friend. Yeah, it
16:28
Speaker 1: seems like we miscalculated to a certain degree. We'll find out.
16:33
Speaker 1: I mean this again, we're right now in attrition phase.
16:37
Speaker 1: Who blinks first? Your comments are always welcome here in
16:40
Speaker 1: the fifty five Cadsey Morning show five one, three, seven,
16:42
Speaker 1: four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three talk.
16:45
Speaker 1: It's five twenty five right now we're back with local
16:47
Speaker 1: stories or calls. Don't go away fifty five The talk
16:51
Speaker 1: station running for office means is five pointy nine on
16:54
Speaker 1: a Wednesday. Happy one to you. I just looked up
16:58
Speaker 1: and found out. Thank you Signal ninety nine. Follower on
17:02
Speaker 1: Facebook and check out her analysis of Police Chief Fiji's
17:07
Speaker 1: termination meeting. Basically, she did it entire transcript and then
17:10
Speaker 1: broke down all the basically the lives from the pro
17:13
Speaker 1: volt administration, Shreyl Long most notably, and others. But anyway,
17:17
Speaker 1: Signal ninety nine, it's going to be on the program tomorrow.
17:19
Speaker 1: Just found it out. Thank you, Signal ninety nine. Eight
17:21
Speaker 1: minutes ago. Put a post up to let me know
17:23
Speaker 1: a Friday, that is Friday, Friday, Friday Friday. Thank you Joe.
17:25
Speaker 1: See i'd screw up, you'd be thinking tomorrow she'd be
17:29
Speaker 1: on if it wasn't for Joe Strekker chiming into my
17:31

Speaker 1: a Mission Wines. We've got another wine maker coming in
17:52
Speaker 1: studio tail end of the program to give us some
17:54
Speaker 1: drinking selections, because God knows, we could all use a drink.
17:57
Speaker 1: At least that's my perception of world affairs and local affairs.
18:01
Speaker 1: Have a drink, maybe it'll help, Maybe not five eight
18:08
Speaker 1: two three talk pound five fifty on eight C and
18:11
Speaker 1: T funds. I'll ultimately get to My big brother is
18:13
Speaker 1: soon watching you car story, which freaks me out. But
18:16
Speaker 1: at the meantime, before I get the local stories, Tom's online. Tom.
18:19
Speaker 1: Any gas budgets out there are budget prices out there.
18:21
Speaker 5: Go to have you back on Yeah, yeah, I noticed
18:25
Speaker 5: the big jump that your mom. That is yesterday as well.
18:29
Speaker 5: On the way home. I have not gotten gas out
18:31
Speaker 5: here this weekend. Last time I got gased with it
18:33
Speaker 5: Sunday before I headed this way, used the old dollar
18:38
Speaker 5: off Kroger fuel, so I was happy then but it's
18:41
Speaker 5: not going to be such a happy time a couple
18:43
Speaker 5: of days when I got a sugel up out here.
18:45
Speaker 5: So I'm going to go back over to that one intersection.
18:48
Speaker 5: And usually those gas those gas stations or are are
18:52
Speaker 5: definitely lower than the rest of them around.
18:53
Speaker 1: So we'll see a little talk. Was it in Middletown?
18:57
Speaker 5: Well, no, no, you gotta remember, I'm I'm out in
18:59
Speaker 5: Indy now.
18:59
Speaker 1: I know that. But you said even the past mentioned
19:02
Speaker 1: a certain area. I thought that. I thought the area
19:04
Speaker 1: where you were finding lower price gasoline. For some reason,
19:07
Speaker 1: Middletown stuck on my head.
19:08
Speaker 5: But well I was, I was driving up the Middletown
19:11
Speaker 5: every day, and it was the it was the exits
19:14
Speaker 5: just north of two seventy five, off of seventy five.
19:16
Speaker 1: Okay, that's where you in the west.
19:19
Speaker 5: Union Union Center not Union Center whatever, It's all right, Yeah,
19:24
Speaker 5: Cincinnati Dayton Road, that was it. Dton Road had some
19:27
Speaker 5: cheap gas crossed. Yeah.
19:29
Speaker 6: Yeah.
19:29
Speaker 5: And we and and and we're put in a position
19:31
Speaker 5: where we got to consider things like this. And uh,
19:35
Speaker 5: first of all, I got to get to my my
19:36
Speaker 5: little road rage I just had to deal with. So
19:38
Speaker 5: if you're driving if you're too little long down the road.
19:41
Speaker 5: You just and you just feel like, you know, you
19:43
Speaker 5: want to you want to just coast a long go
19:45
Speaker 5: for it. Just get out of the way. Just just
19:48
Speaker 5: stay out of the way. Let people get by you,
19:50
Speaker 5: all right. And if you notice that people are getting
19:53
Speaker 5: by you and they're going faster than you, and you
19:56
Speaker 5: you had them blocked off for like three or four
19:58
Speaker 5: miles where they can't get around you. When you get
20:01
Speaker 5: when they get by, you don't speed up and go
20:03
Speaker 5: get right behind them. And that's don't be cured.
20:09
Speaker 1: Exactly, Okay. And then people get in the high speed
20:11
Speaker 1: lane and go the speed limit because well it's the
20:13
Speaker 1: speed limit. Screw you guys behind you try to go
20:15
Speaker 1: faster the speed limit. I'm enforcing the speed limit. Yeah,
20:18
Speaker 1: you are that guy that no one should ever be.
20:21
Speaker 1: So go ahead.
20:24
Speaker 5: Thank you. Thanks for letting me do a little spleen.
20:26
Speaker 5: Then I appreciate it. Yeah, you're looking looking at this
20:30
Speaker 5: Iranian conflict, and the thing that I'm one of the
20:33
Speaker 5: things that I'm thinking about is you've got people on
20:37
Speaker 5: the on the Iranian side and the way they think,
20:39
Speaker 5: and as you mentioned, they're willing to slaughter their own people.
20:42
Speaker 5: You know, they taking the mentality of the people in
20:45
Speaker 5: leadership over there and how they treat their own citizens
20:49
Speaker 5: and what they go through to make sure they maintain
20:51
Speaker 5: control and all that stuff. These are the kind of
20:55
Speaker 5: people that are being embraced by the Democrat Party. We
20:59
Speaker 5: have these kinds of people who are who are finding
21:02
Speaker 5: a way into elected offices here in the United States
21:05
Speaker 5: of America. I hope everybody understands that that's what's going on.
21:09
Speaker 5: That's what that's what the Democrats are trying to bring
21:12
Speaker 5: to this country. There may be some changes needed to
21:15
Speaker 5: some things. There may be some adjustments needed to the
21:18
Speaker 5: way we do things, but not that please you.
21:21
Speaker 1: You have to.
21:22
Speaker 5: Understand that what's going on over there in those countries
21:26
Speaker 5: that use the Islamist way of doing things, and I
21:30
Speaker 5: mean there's stuff based on religion. So I can say religion,
21:34
Speaker 5: but it kind of is. And and if you are
21:37
Speaker 5: going to sit here and scream and hollow that we
21:39
Speaker 5: don't want religion controlling our government, well if you embrace
21:43
Speaker 5: these kind of people, and religion is going to control
21:46
Speaker 5: our government. And it's not a religion that you're going
21:49
Speaker 5: to like. Trust me, all the people that are on
21:52
Speaker 5: the left and and are applauding these kind of mentalities
21:57
Speaker 5: and the way they do things, and they bring it
21:59
Speaker 5: over to this country and they're like, oh, yeah, that's
22:01
Speaker 5: the way to go. You better really think hard about
22:04
Speaker 5: what you're celebrating. You really better think very very hard
22:08
Speaker 5: about what you're wanting to impose on this country, because
22:11
Speaker 5: it's not good. It's really really bad. Just look at
22:14
Speaker 5: the way they're treating their people over there, and if
22:17
Speaker 5: that's the way you want things to be done, you
22:20
Speaker 5: don't need to be an office over here either. And again,
22:22
Speaker 5: the Democrats are the one embracing this, So don't vote Democrat.
22:26
Speaker 1: Have a great day, man, You do the same, Tom, Yeah,
22:29
Speaker 1: I think about the November election, and yeah, of course
22:31
Speaker 1: the Republicans are going to face challenges as a consequence
22:33
Speaker 1: of this war and the ripple effect that's had on
22:35
Speaker 1: the economy. Donald Trump ran on lowering inflation and all that.
22:38
Speaker 1: This has obviously had a profound inflationary effect, so much
22:41
Speaker 1: so that gas prices are affecting tri state school budgets.
22:44
Speaker 1: Local WCPO reporting on this one, you know, and all
22:48
Speaker 1: these school districts, seventy four of them seeking a tax
22:50
Speaker 1: increase or a levee to be funded. Of course, taxes increase,
22:56
Speaker 1: you're voting against maybe that, But is it smart to
23:01
Speaker 1: vote against that? You know that I've got to pay more,
23:06
Speaker 1: My prices have gone up because of something Donald Trump did?
23:10
Speaker 1: But what are you going to get along with voting
23:13
Speaker 1: for your anger or expressing your outrage over the increase
23:17
Speaker 1: in gasoline prices or inflation? Generally, I can't support an
23:21
Speaker 1: administration who has left me with four dollars and fifty
23:24
Speaker 1: cent gasoline. So fine, but then what are you voting for?
23:31
Speaker 1: And when you look at the parade of horribles that
23:34
Speaker 1: the Democrats stand by, these far left wing ideological principles,
23:39
Speaker 1: you're voting for that. Do a conscious balance of the
23:46
Speaker 1: evils and think about the broader implications of just I'm
23:50
Speaker 1: angering at evil? Aren't man because it costs me an
23:53
Speaker 1: extra buck to fill my tank or buck a gallon? Okay, fine, yes,
23:58
Speaker 1: I understand that anger, But there's no way in God's
24:01
Speaker 1: green Earth I would vote for the Democrats advancing these
24:06
Speaker 1: insane from my perspective subjective, it may be ideological positions
24:10
Speaker 1: five thirty six Right now, you may have a different story.
24:12
Speaker 1: Feel free to call here a seat the talk station
24:17
Speaker 1: by forty one if fifty five Karsite talk station and
24:19
Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday. I'm sitting in front of a stack of
24:21
Speaker 1: stupid but I look up at the call screen and
24:23
Speaker 1: see the Joyce is on the line. You can join
24:25
Speaker 1: Joyce five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred,
24:27
Speaker 1: eight hundred and eighty two three talk Joyce. Thanks for
24:29
Speaker 1: calling this morning. Happy Wednesday.
24:31
Speaker 7: Hey, good morning, Brian. Happy Wednesday to you too.
24:33
Speaker 6: You.
24:34
Speaker 7: I had called you one other time because I had
24:37
Speaker 7: mentioned that I grew up my mom was such a
24:40
Speaker 7: fan of your dad. I remember getting ready for school
24:43
Speaker 7: and she would listen to him every morning. So when
24:46
Speaker 7: I moved back to Ohio, I was so glad that
24:48
Speaker 7: you were on the radio.
24:49
Speaker 1: Well, thank you very much, and if God bless your mom.
24:51
Speaker 1: She helped put me through college. And I always give
24:53
Speaker 1: credit to anybody who listened to my father over the
24:55
Speaker 1: years for doing that. So thank you from the bottom
24:57
Speaker 1: of my art.
24:59
Speaker 7: She's upstairs with you, your dad, now, that's what you
25:01
Speaker 7: know what.
25:02
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're sitting at talking about it too at
25:04
Speaker 1: some point, right.
25:06
Speaker 8: Yeah, probably.
25:07
Speaker 7: So I just wanted to say that I backed President Trump.
25:11
Speaker 7: I think he earned my trust as far as prosecuting
25:15
Speaker 7: this war, even if maybe everything isn't going perfectly. And
25:19
Speaker 7: it also seems like administration after administration has said Iran
25:23
Speaker 7: can't have a news, Ran can't have a new but
25:25
Speaker 7: nobody stepped up to really do anything exactly besides the
25:29
Speaker 7: palets of cash from Obama. I mean, nobody really did anything.
25:34
Speaker 7: So I mean, I think he's earned my trust. I'm
25:36
Speaker 7: gonna I'm going to back him.
25:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the war is never easy, Joyce. I mean,
25:41
Speaker 1: it's one thing if you'd just sat down and talked
25:43
Speaker 1: about the what, the ins and outs and whys and
25:45
Speaker 1: wherefores and the potential of what might happen. And you
25:47
Speaker 1: know what, I have no doubt in my mind to
25:49
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, Donald Trump is sit down with his
25:51
Speaker 1: military strategists and talked about all this because of course
25:54
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is not a trained military leader. He's the
25:57
Speaker 1: commander a tiev of the military. But then again, so
26:00
Speaker 1: is Barack Obama. Is any anything. Barack Obama had military expertise,
26:03
Speaker 1: and he went around dropping bombs, killing people randomly, and
26:06
Speaker 1: you know Libya for example. So you know, we've got
26:08
Speaker 1: a lot of presidents that preceded Trump that don't have
26:10
Speaker 1: any military expertise, but do have advisors. And you know,
26:13
Speaker 1: the straight of horror moves. You and I are going
26:15
Speaker 1: to be paying more for gasoline. I'm willing to struggle
26:17
Speaker 1: through it and pay more for gasoline if we ultimately
26:19
Speaker 1: get rid of the Iranian regime, if we can win
26:22
Speaker 1: this war of attrition, it will be beneficial for the
26:25
Speaker 1: entire planet. Joyce, you and I both know that we
26:28
Speaker 1: need the Abraham Peace Accords. He was able to do
26:30
Speaker 1: in his first term. What an amazing accomplishment, you know,
26:33
Speaker 1: Nobel Peace Prize winning stuff. Of course, the world doesn't
26:36
Speaker 1: look at Donald Trump in a positive light, so he's
26:38
Speaker 1: never going to get one, but what a tremendous advancement.
26:41
Speaker 1: You know, if Carter had done that or Obama had
26:43
Speaker 1: done that, the globe would be praising them. To know,
26:46
Speaker 1: and we need to keep this on a roll. You know,
26:48
Speaker 1: Donald Trump bamba got it.
26:50
Speaker 7: He got the Nobel Prize for raising his head and
26:53
Speaker 7: saying taking the oak exactly.
26:55
Speaker 1: And there's the revelation right there that we just I
26:59
Speaker 1: still can't believe this day. You're right, I'm not saying
27:02
Speaker 1: the Nobel Prize is a valid award, but you know,
27:05
Speaker 1: if it was anybody but Donald Trump, and as far
27:07
Speaker 1: as the Abraham A. Cords were concerned, they would have
27:09
Speaker 1: gotten one for it. But that's progress, you know. And
27:13
Speaker 1: if the world, the world will enjoy the world without Iran,
27:16
Speaker 1: and they'll look back and say, you know what, maybe
27:17
Speaker 1: we were wrong about that Trump guy.
27:20
Speaker 7: Yeah, I just think that he's earned my trust and
27:23
Speaker 7: I'm gonna I'm gonna place it in him. He was
27:25
Speaker 7: he's my president. I voted for him three times, and
27:28
Speaker 7: you know what, let's let's let him. Let's let him
27:31
Speaker 7: finish the job.
27:32
Speaker 1: Well he one way or another, whatever direction he goes. Obviously,
27:36
Speaker 1: Congress is not engaged on this. They've rejected an authorization
27:39
Speaker 1: used the military force. They've rejected pulling the plug on him.
27:42
Speaker 1: Now five coming up on six times. It's the balls
27:45
Speaker 1: in Trump's corner. So that you have trust in him
27:48
Speaker 1: and hope that he and hope that his choices in
27:50
Speaker 1: this regard come out. Right. I'm with you on that.
27:53
Speaker 1: We're in the war. We can't unring the bell of
27:56
Speaker 1: what has happened so far. Now do we stick with
27:58
Speaker 1: it and see it through till it's fire conclusion, or
28:01
Speaker 1: do we walk away This is where we find ourselves. Joyce,
28:05
Speaker 1: thank you so much for call. I appreciate that. See
28:08
Speaker 1: the talk station five fifty fifty five krc DE talk
28:12
Speaker 1: Station Happy Wednesday eight two three Talk Pump by fifty
28:17
Speaker 1: on AT and T phones. I mentioned snows Lakeside Tavern.
28:20
Speaker 1: Let's see citeus of next week's listener lunch where I
28:22
Speaker 1: hopefully will be sitting down to a game of cribbage
28:25
Speaker 1: after lunch with my submarine or friend cribbage Mike, who
28:28
Speaker 1: is really taking note of King Charles gift to Donald Trump.
28:34
Speaker 1: Cribbage Mike, Welcome back, my friend. Always good to hear
28:36
Speaker 1: from you.
28:37
Speaker 9: Happy Wednesday, Brian, Yes, I wasn't able to attend last month,
28:40
Speaker 9: so looking forward to next Wednesday, Sir.
28:42
Speaker 1: I am looking forward as well. Always enjoy seeing you
28:44
Speaker 1: man and the HMS. Trump thanks for this this snapshot
28:48
Speaker 1: of that.
28:50
Speaker 9: You know, not only did he reference submarines once but twice.
28:54
Speaker 9: You know, not a big royal family watcher, so I
28:57
Speaker 9: thought he did an excellent job at his speech before Congress.
29:00
Speaker 9: In fact, Trump even alluded to it at the State dinner.
29:04
Speaker 10: Is the fact that even King Charles can get the
29:06
Speaker 10: Democrats to stand up and clasp, something that he's never
29:09
Speaker 10: been able to do. But at the Joint Session of Congress,
29:15
Speaker 10: the King mentioned the August submarine program when he was
29:19
Speaker 10: talking about how the US and UK throughout the years
29:22
Speaker 10: it must continue on to be such good partners. And
29:25
Speaker 10: this is not the pressent, and that's where we are
29:28
Speaker 10: going to give. We're going to build and give the
29:32
Speaker 10: Australian Navy obviously help us that out in the China
29:34
Speaker 10: theater and the Pacific. Three of our latest Virginia class
29:38
Speaker 10: submarines in the twenty thirties. But between Australia and the UK,
29:42
Speaker 10: they're going to build this next class August. And that
29:45
Speaker 10: is an acronym, you know, US military life's acronym. It's
29:48
Speaker 10: AU UK US August. The three three nations involved these
29:53
Speaker 10: three frontline fast attack submarines. But then at the State dinner,
29:57
Speaker 10: which I'm sure you were looking at the back of
29:59
Speaker 10: your eyelids last night at nine o'clock because you know,
30:02
Speaker 10: dignitaries always present the President and vice versa during visits.
30:06
Speaker 10: I never knew there was such a ship, but yes,
30:08
Speaker 10: the HMS Trump was a diesel powered submarine that saw
30:11
Speaker 10: action in World War Two. I actually researched. It actually
30:14
Speaker 10: sunk seven Japanese ships and as part of the T
30:19
Speaker 10: class and with it, like we even doing our navy
30:22
Speaker 10: sometimes will name an entire class after a certain letter
30:26
Speaker 10: or a certain species like fish or states or cities
30:28
Speaker 10: or whatever. So there there were fifty three of these
30:31
Speaker 10: TEA class, including the HMS tally Ho.
30:35
Speaker 1: Kidding.
30:36
Speaker 9: I tried to see where Trump came from, but he
30:39
Speaker 9: bolted out of his chair when he uncovered that ship's belt.
30:42
Speaker 9: And I'm sure it's going to have a prominent place
30:45
Speaker 9: in the over office.
30:45
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I probably put it on the desk. Yeah,
30:48
Speaker 1: for those it wasn't specifically stated. They presented Donald Trump,
30:52
Speaker 1: and the King presented Donald Trump with the ship's belt.
30:55
Speaker 1: It's a pretty sizable thing and it says Trump on it,
30:57
Speaker 1: HMS Trump, so clearly came from the submarine that sub
31:00
Speaker 1: cribbage Mike is talking about, so obviously a very That
31:04
Speaker 1: is the coolest thing ever. I mean, I'm sure Donald
31:07
Speaker 1: Trump was elated to get that, and it was a
31:09
Speaker 1: very very nice gift from and I did appreciate the
31:12
Speaker 1: comments from the King. This the idea that in these
31:15
Speaker 1: troubled times, with the world divided in everyone being angry
31:19
Speaker 1: with the United States that he would stand up and
31:21
Speaker 1: talk about the importance of our relationship. That was a
31:24
Speaker 1: nice shot in the arm, and I think a much
31:25
Speaker 1: needed one. Thanks for the call, cribbage Mike, my submarine
31:28
Speaker 1: or friend. Think you're for your service to our country.
31:30
Speaker 1: Let's see what Brady's got this morning. Brady, thanks for calling.
31:32
Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday.
31:34
Speaker 6: Yeah, I are you this morning.
31:35
Speaker 1: I'm pretty good. I hope you can say the same.
31:37
Speaker 1: It's on your mind, Brady.
31:38
Speaker 9: I have no good So.
31:39
Speaker 11: I heard you talking about Donald Trump then, and I
31:43
Speaker 11: know you.
31:43
Speaker 9: Were talking about Iran and saying that the whole world
31:45
Speaker 9: would be better.
31:47
Speaker 6: If we got rid of that regime. But I guess
31:50
Speaker 6: my question is.
31:51
Speaker 9: What made the United States the.
31:53
Speaker 1: Police of the world? No idea?
31:55
Speaker 9: Well, why is that our responsibility?
31:57
Speaker 1: No idea?
31:57
Speaker 9: And especially if I got a pay more money because
32:01
Speaker 9: we want to police the world. We have several problems
32:04
Speaker 9: within the country. Wouldn't you prefer someone to come in
32:07
Speaker 9: and focus on the problems within the country.
32:09
Speaker 1: You sound like a fellow libertarian there, Brady. I wholeheartedly
32:12
Speaker 1: agree with you. Why were we forever after World War
32:15
Speaker 1: Two the police department for the entire world. I mean
32:18
Speaker 1: this goes back to Donald Trump's comments about NATA. We
32:20
Speaker 1: have been the police department for all the NATO countries
32:23
Speaker 1: who have not bothered to lift a finger to support
32:26
Speaker 1: or build their own military. They can't defend themselves, right,
32:29
Speaker 1: We have a mutual defense agreement with our NATO allies.
32:32
Speaker 1: If one of them gets attacked, then we go to
32:34
Speaker 1: the rescue. Right. Well, we don't have one of those
32:37
Speaker 1: in the Middle East. And I just have to point
32:39
Speaker 1: out though this to this whole idea, Donald Trump said,
32:41
Speaker 1: you guys need to step up to the plate. We
32:43
Speaker 1: don't get any reciprocal benefit. What NATO country could come
32:46
Speaker 1: to our defense. Let's say if Mexico, for example, and
32:49
Speaker 1: some crazy hypothetical launched a war against US and we
32:52
Speaker 1: need some help. You think France could pony up with
32:54
Speaker 1: its military. No, that's the problem. Yes, I don't know
32:59
Speaker 1: why we are the police department for the entire world. Brady,
33:01
Speaker 1: I'm sure there are people out there that are suggesting, well,
33:03
Speaker 1: if we create stabilization another countries start relying on us,
33:07
Speaker 1: then they are our quote unquote friends and we don't
33:10
Speaker 1: have to worry about influencing the Chinese Communist Party or
33:12
Speaker 1: the Russians or the Iranians or someone else going in
33:15
Speaker 1: to fill the void of whatever that country has by
33:17
Speaker 1: way of void. We're good with sprinkling money all over
33:20
Speaker 1: the place around the globe to get some sort of
33:22
Speaker 1: political stability, whether or not that's right or not, this
33:24
Speaker 1: is what we do. But the military is a component
33:27
Speaker 1: of that, and why we have chosen military strategy and
33:30
Speaker 1: might and get out into the world to be the
33:32
Speaker 1: world's police department. It's beyond me. But yeah, you are
33:35
Speaker 1: paying for it, one way or another, and I appreciate
33:37
Speaker 1: you raising that as a legitimate point because it is
33:40
Speaker 1: a legitimate point. Coming up A five fifty six if
33:42
Speaker 1: you have kc detalk station, I will get at six
33:49
Speaker 1: or six at fifty five krc DE talk station. Happy
33:52
Speaker 1: Wednesday sitting. It takes you with Jack out of it in
33:59
Speaker 1: one now. Brian Thomas right here, glad to be you're
34:01
Speaker 1: looking forward to Jack Adiden with the Big Picture every
34:03
Speaker 1: week Wednesday at seven o five. The surprising way the
34:05
Speaker 1: Brits viewed our revolution. Donald O'Neil from Americans for Prosperity
34:09
Speaker 1: every Wednesday at seven thirty today is no deviation from
34:11
Speaker 1: the norm. Got a primary next week. He's got endorsements
34:14
Speaker 1: to talk about. And as I go to the primary,
34:16
Speaker 1: remember primaries are important. We heard from Tom's Awastowski about
34:19
Speaker 1: that yesterday. But remember, if you're looking for your bottom line,
34:22
Speaker 1: there are seventy I found out this morning, seventy four
34:24
Speaker 1: school levies out there in the state Ohio. That will
34:27
Speaker 1: be the state I'm referring to for those outside of
34:29
Speaker 1: the area. But that alone, you pay attention to what's
34:31
Speaker 1: going on. That's a reason to get people off the
34:33
Speaker 1: couch and go to a primary. Maybe you don't want
34:35
Speaker 1: this levey to pass, maybe you want it to pass.
34:39
Speaker 1: That's why primary is important. Keith Faber, he's running for
34:41
Speaker 1: Ahio Attorney General. Keith joints a program at eight to five.
34:43
Speaker 1: We'll talk about waste, fraud, abuse, theft, local agencies targeting
34:47
Speaker 1: by getting targeted by criminals, and finally the rising cost
34:50
Speaker 1: of higher education, which obviously is impacted by gasoline. There's
34:53
Speaker 1: actually a story out there about that locally. As we
34:57
Speaker 1: talk about school levies, Judge editor Paulitano Trumpet the Allen State.
35:00
Speaker 1: My buddy, my Sommier friend Keegan Corkan from an Isie
35:03
Speaker 1: of Wines is going to bring another wine maker in.
35:05
Speaker 1: We're gonna get some wine selections. As I pointed out
35:08
Speaker 1: last hour and mentioning Keegan coming on at the end
35:09
Speaker 1: of the show. Now more than ever, it seems to
35:13
Speaker 1: be a good time to drink before I dive onto
35:15
Speaker 1: other things. I got a couple of calls online. Let's
35:17
Speaker 1: start with Larry, he's been on the line longer. Dave,
35:18
Speaker 1: hold on, We'll get you right and gets you up next. Larry,
35:20
Speaker 1: Thanks for holding. Welcome to the show, and thanks for calling.
35:23
Speaker 9: Good morning, Brian. I was wanting to call.
35:27
Speaker 6: I didn't.
35:27
Speaker 9: I didn't get to listen to your open and monologue
35:30
Speaker 9: this morning. I didn't know if you touched on it
35:32
Speaker 9: any at all, so I apologized by repeating anything you
35:36
Speaker 9: may have mentioned. I wanted to call to talk about
35:39
Speaker 9: how Opek was created in the nineteen sixty in Baghdad, Iraq.
35:46
Speaker 1: I believe you're right.
35:48
Speaker 9: The United States was forced into it around seventy three,
35:52
Speaker 9: hence the oil embargo and the shortage. And I was
35:55
Speaker 9: just a little child then, so I didn't really we.
35:58
Speaker 1: Were forced to deal with it. They got together for
36:00
Speaker 1: the purposes of, you know, basically controlling the price of
36:04
Speaker 1: a barrel of oil. I mean, this would be illegal
36:06
Speaker 1: if it was you know, American companies coordinating their efforts
36:10
Speaker 1: and fixing prices, that is against the law, but on
36:13
Speaker 1: a global level, and that's exactly what they've.
36:15
Speaker 9: Had their fangs. They've had their fangs in this oil
36:18
Speaker 9: production and control over the entire world this whole time,
36:22
Speaker 9: even up to now. And I know that the media
36:24
Speaker 9: only focuses like right here and now on Trump and
36:28
Speaker 9: to try to demonize him, But I know Trump is
36:31
Speaker 9: a businessman. He is always thinking way farther down the
36:34
Speaker 9: roads than the media. He's always one step or five
36:37
Speaker 9: steps ahead of the media. And I think he had
36:40
Speaker 9: the long term picture here because it came out yesterday
36:43
Speaker 9: about the e au UH starting May first through withdrawing
36:47
Speaker 9: out of the OPAQ and OPEC.
36:49
Speaker 1: Plus United Emirates. Yeah, they did pull the plug on that,
36:54
Speaker 1: and they're yea and.
36:56
Speaker 9: They're one of the biggest oil produces a pass the wee.
37:02
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's it's well and and the by all
37:05
Speaker 1: accounts they pulling the plug now. It's like the ideal
37:08
Speaker 1: of time for them to do it, given the straight
37:09
Speaker 1: of horror moves being cut down and they had been
37:11
Speaker 1: contemplating pulling out of Opek for a long time. Yeah,
37:14
Speaker 1: Opek has been defanged to a large degree because of
37:17
Speaker 1: the United Arab Emirates pulling out. But yeah, okay, I
37:20
Speaker 1: mean this isn't great. I'm glad you brought that up, Larry,
37:23
Speaker 1: because it's sort of tangential to this the resolution of
37:26
Speaker 1: the conflict, whichever direction it goes. But that alone, the
37:30
Speaker 1: taking the fangs to a giant chunk out of the
37:32
Speaker 1: United out of Opek, because the United Arab Memorates pulled out,
37:36
Speaker 1: that's I would argue a gift to the globe as well.
37:39
Speaker 1: It takes away you're.
37:41
Speaker 9: In the background when he first took office. This last time,
37:44
Speaker 9: he went around to all these other countries. He's too,
37:47
Speaker 9: took a couple of weeks and was over there. We
37:49
Speaker 9: will only hear what the media was talking about in
37:51
Speaker 9: the wheels and the wheeling and dealing he was doing
37:54
Speaker 9: with these helping our companies and finding more work for
37:57
Speaker 9: this country and getting people active work manufacturing. He was
38:01
Speaker 9: making all these deals. But I am certain that he
38:05
Speaker 9: was discussing the higher power with the higher powers in
38:08
Speaker 9: the in the UA aurups are Yeah, the.
38:11
Speaker 1: UA United Arab Emirates.
38:12
Speaker 9: Uaa Arab Emirates. Anyway, I'm sure he was already shaking
38:18
Speaker 9: hands and making deals and this stuff I think was
38:21
Speaker 9: in the works a couple of years ago. It just
38:23
Speaker 9: takes a while for it to start.
38:24
Speaker 1: Showing it to the point I was Larry, that's exactly
38:27
Speaker 1: the point. We want immediate results. He is the American people.
38:31
Speaker 1: You know, I want to watch my movie. I want
38:32
Speaker 1: it on right now. Well you get that now. You
38:34
Speaker 1: don't look at a TV guide and plan your week
38:36
Speaker 1: around when it comes on immediate gratification. The Internet gives
38:39
Speaker 1: us some media gratification, instant delivery. I want it on
38:42
Speaker 1: my porch today, Go ahead, order on Amazon. It'll be there.
38:45
Speaker 1: We want immediate for everything. No one's willing to wait
38:48
Speaker 1: it out a little bit. That's why this battle of
38:50
Speaker 1: attrition right now, this strategy of saying, you know what,
38:52
Speaker 1: we can outlast Iran. We can outlast them. It's going
38:56
Speaker 1: to take a little while. Their economy basically has to
38:58
Speaker 1: a collapse because they can no longer ship oil out
39:00
Speaker 1: or get goods in. That will ultimately happen. The question
39:03
Speaker 1: is when we're not willing to wait around and see
39:05
Speaker 1: it happen. We got to struggle with four dollars and
39:07
Speaker 1: eighteen cents national average gasoline, and oh my god, the
39:09
Speaker 1: world's gonna come to an end because of that. No,
39:11
Speaker 1: it didn't come to an end three years ago when
39:13
Speaker 1: we were paying more than that. What wasn't Donald Trump
39:16
Speaker 1: three years ago was COVID, right, But we still live
39:18
Speaker 1: through it, live through it. It's gonna last a little
39:21
Speaker 1: bit longer. Ultimately the situation will resolve itself, hopefully for
39:24
Speaker 1: the benefit of the world. Larry great point man, gotta wait,
39:27
Speaker 1: and yes, I do believe a lot is being discussed
39:30
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. And yes, Donald Trump does think down
39:32
Speaker 1: the road a lot more than the media is gonna
39:33
Speaker 1: even ask about or even give him credit for. But
39:37
Speaker 1: even if he told you no, I got a long
39:38
Speaker 1: term strategy. It's my five point plan, and by this
39:41
Speaker 1: time three years from now, we're going to have no
39:43
Speaker 1: that wouldn't be enough. So good point, Thank you very much.
39:47
Speaker 1: Let's see what Dave's got. Dave, thanks for calling this morning.
39:49
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show.
39:52
Speaker 9: Hey, good morning, Brian. Even though I consider myself a
39:54
Speaker 9: little libertarian as well, I was just gonna say, who
39:58
Speaker 9: made us to the world's place as the rest of
40:00
Speaker 9: the world when they stand by and let evil happen constantly.
40:03
Speaker 9: It's I mean, we've tried to mind our own business
40:06
Speaker 9: during World War One and World War Two until they
40:09
Speaker 9: brought us into it by sinking our boats. And you
40:12
Speaker 9: can't just sit around and let people if we can't
40:15
Speaker 9: take care of all the world's evil, but we we
40:17
Speaker 9: got to step up and do something.
40:19
Speaker 11: It's you see a.
40:20
Speaker 9: Little old lady getting mug You can't just sit there
40:22
Speaker 9: and watch and say, oh, I don't want my gas prices.
40:25
Speaker 6: To go up.
40:26
Speaker 1: Well, that's true, that's true.
40:28
Speaker 9: I was gonna make it, and.
40:29
Speaker 1: I'm reminded one of my favorite movies, you know, when
40:31
Speaker 1: I said that isolationism is no longer a practical policy
40:34
Speaker 1: in a world that is so interconnected. While you might
40:38
Speaker 1: want to say, well, we just want to sit over
40:39
Speaker 1: here and mind our own business, and we're happy to
40:42
Speaker 1: trade with you, and we're happy to talk with you,
40:44
Speaker 1: and we're happy to cooperate with you on a global scale,
40:47
Speaker 1: but don't ask us to pick up guns or ammo
40:49
Speaker 1: or armor to defend you, or we don't want to
40:52
Speaker 1: engage in some crazy conflict between two countries halfway around
40:55
Speaker 1: the globe, because what interest do we have in that,
40:58
Speaker 1: go ahead, solve your problems. We stay out of all
41:01
Speaker 1: kinds of evil in the world, sitting back and ignoring it.
41:04
Speaker 1: Like what the genocide in Rwanda under the Clinton administration,
41:07
Speaker 1: where hundreds of thousands of people were slaughtered. Ah, well,
41:10
Speaker 1: you know, it's a conflict, it's terrible, it's a humanitarian crisis.
41:13
Speaker 1: But you know what, We're not gonna do anything about it,
41:15
Speaker 1: which is basically the UN's position on seemingly everything. Yeah,
41:19
Speaker 1: it's going on, we'll trumph about it, we'll have a
41:21
Speaker 1: resolution about it. But will we do anything about it? Ultimately, No,
41:24
Speaker 1: they have no ability to do anything. The blue hat's
41:27
Speaker 1: gonna come in and we shouldn't.
41:29
Speaker 9: Well, they are such a crump piece of craft organization.
41:34
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, hold on, god on, where's that article?
41:38
Speaker 5: Uh?
41:40
Speaker 1: Is it? They just named Iran? Hold on? They named
41:46
Speaker 1: Iran as head of this nuclear commiss as a as
41:49
Speaker 1: a country that's on this nuclear commission. Bottom line is
41:54
Speaker 1: the Iranians, who have violated all kinds of nuclear treaties
41:57
Speaker 1: over and over again that they were signatories to, has
41:59
Speaker 1: been named on this very important committeet least from the
42:02
Speaker 1: UNS perspective. I'll have to find that. I wasn't even
42:04
Speaker 1: going to bring that article up today, but it was
42:06
Speaker 1: just it's just laughable. Right, Isolation may no longer be
42:10
Speaker 1: a practical policy, and I understand that. Thanks for your
42:12
Speaker 1: comments very much. That's what Jay's got this morning. Jay,
42:15
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Happy Wednesday, Happy Wednesday.
42:18
Speaker 12: Did I hear Keith's Faber is going to be on
42:20
Speaker 12: talking about theft and fraud and.
42:22
Speaker 1: Waste and abuse eighth five?
42:25
Speaker 5: Well, you know, Keith.
42:27
Speaker 9: Faber has no excuse.
42:29
Speaker 12: It's funny how whenever campaign season comes around, he's going
42:32
Speaker 12: to get serious about this, put the red.
42:34
Speaker 1: Cape on and put the s on his chest.
42:36
Speaker 12: Keith Faber has known for four years that Ohio his
42:40
Speaker 12: rank last in the country with medicaid fraud and has
42:43
Speaker 12: refused to do anything about it, as evidenced by You
42:46
Speaker 12: can go back to a fifty five KRC interview with
42:49
Speaker 12: him from a few years ago where he said, oh,
42:53
Speaker 12: I looked into it. It's hard. There's eighty eight counties.
42:56
Speaker 12: We just don't have the money. Fast forward, we give
42:58
Speaker 12: six hundred million dollars of the Cleveland Browns for nothing,
43:02
Speaker 12: and I called Michelle Tesca, who's my state representative, recently
43:08
Speaker 12: talking about fraud, waste, and abuse. She and other Republican
43:13
Speaker 12: lawmakers had sent a letter to Favor saying, we need
43:18
Speaker 12: you to go do this audit and figure out this
43:21
Speaker 12: medicaid fraud because he's not doing it on his own.
43:24
Speaker 12: They also send a letter to Dave Yost because it's
43:27
Speaker 12: a law enforcement deal. He also has refused to do
43:30
Speaker 12: anything about it because froug waste and abuse is good
43:33
Speaker 12: business for the state of Ohio. It's those federal dollars
43:37
Speaker 12: going into the state coffer that all of them, all
43:40
Speaker 12: of these rhinos, Favor being one of them, doesn't.
43:43
Speaker 9: Deserve your vote. So I can't wait to hear it.
43:47
Speaker 11: Brian.
43:47
Speaker 12: I know you're going to do what you do, which
43:49
Speaker 12: is professionally approach it and ask him tough questions. But
43:54
Speaker 12: this guy cannot deny that he didn't know, because I
43:57
Speaker 12: personally called his office a dozen times. Since you and
44:00
Speaker 12: on your program with Americans for Prosperity educated me years
44:04
Speaker 12: ago that Ohio is lasting in the country with forty
44:07
Speaker 12: three point three percent improper payment rate, call it fraud
44:10
Speaker 12: rate on forty billion dollars medicaid spend.
44:13
Speaker 9: Every year.
44:14
Speaker 12: That is sixteen billion dollars of waste, and that could
44:18
Speaker 12: pay for your primary and secondary education out of the
44:21
Speaker 12: state of Ohio, which could bring your property taxes down significantly.
44:26
Speaker 12: Ohio has plenty of money. It's all in medicaid fraud.
44:30
Speaker 12: If you could abolish property tax, that could pay for
44:32
Speaker 12: your for this education out of the fraud. And he
44:36
Speaker 12: knows about it, and he refused to do anything about it.
44:39
Speaker 12: Ghosts knows about it, the governor knows about it. And
44:41
Speaker 12: I think it was Jennifer Gross that said for every
44:44
Speaker 12: dollar Ohio spends three dollars on Medicaid getting able body
44:48
Speaker 12: people on Medicaid, three dollars goes into Ohio's coffers.
44:53
Speaker 1: It's federal money, right.
44:56
Speaker 12: Yeah, federal money, So why not steal it?
44:58
Speaker 1: See that's the I think is most states, or at
45:01
Speaker 1: least many states default position. They don't care about other
45:05
Speaker 1: people's taxpayer dollars. Why go out? It's federal money, it's
45:08
Speaker 1: coming in. It comes from all over the United States.
45:11
Speaker 1: This isn't Ohio voters money, This isn't part of Ohio's budget.
45:14
Speaker 1: It's money coming from the federal government. Screw it. Let's
45:17
Speaker 1: not bother with it. No, it's our taxpayer money. It's well,
45:20
Speaker 1: we will find sure. I would argue we owe a
45:22
Speaker 1: fiduciary obligation to prevent any fraud, waste, and abuse of
45:25
Speaker 1: any money that comes into government coffers. Period, end of story,
45:28
Speaker 1: with no excuses. Thank you very much. Jay as always
45:31
Speaker 1: budget minded man. He is six seventeen right now fifty
45:34
Speaker 1: five CARES talk station. It is six twenty two comed
45:40
Speaker 1: up with six twenty three, fifty five KRCD talk station.
45:42
Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday, five three, seven fifty two three talk. Yeah,
45:47
Speaker 1: going back, I scrambling to fight the article that I
45:49
Speaker 1: had seen before related to that last call. Yes, the
45:52
Speaker 1: Iranians United Nations criticism of the Nations regularly here from
45:56
Speaker 1: the host of the fifty five KRCITY Morning show, What's
45:58
Speaker 1: the point of It? And elected Iran as one of
46:05
Speaker 1: thirty four vice presidents of the eleventh Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty.
46:14
Speaker 1: Just happened two days ago a conference that just opened
46:17
Speaker 1: UN headquarters in New York, Hey, Iran joining the fun
46:22
Speaker 1: US Assistant Secretary of Arms Control. Reacting to this announcement,
46:25
Speaker 1: Arms Control and non Proliferation caught her on selection and
46:28
Speaker 1: affront to the non Proliferation Treaty, saying it was indisputable
46:33
Speaker 1: that Iran has long demonstrated its contempt for the non
46:36
Speaker 1: proliferation commitments of the NPT, calling it beyond shameful and
46:41
Speaker 1: an embarrassment to the credibility of this conference, as if
46:46
Speaker 1: the UN had any credibility going into it, probably gonna
46:50
Speaker 1: put Iran on the Human Rights Commission, although I think
46:52
Speaker 1: that already happened here. Let's go murder thirty thousand of
46:55
Speaker 1: our own people and throw a bunch of homosexuals off buildings,
46:58
Speaker 1: and then we'll be a part of that one as well. Well.
47:01
Speaker 1: Speaking of the United Arab Emirates, Yes, what's broke from
47:03
Speaker 1: Opak yesterday an amazing development that called the appointment of
47:07
Speaker 1: Iran to the Non Proliferation Treaty antithetical to the values
47:11
Speaker 1: of the NPT, saying if a state party can disregard
47:14
Speaker 1: its obligations, undermine verification, destabilize its region, threaten international waterways,
47:20
Speaker 1: and still be elevated to a leadership position of this process,
47:23
Speaker 1: then we must ask what message is this conference sending exactly?
47:32
Speaker 1: United Nations, folks, And if you want to read all
47:37
Speaker 1: of the reasons why this appointment is absolutely bad crap
47:42
Speaker 1: and saying to the extent you don't remember Hans Blicks
47:44
Speaker 1: and everything else them enriching uranium in spite of the
47:47
Speaker 1: fact that they were signatories to the NPT that said
47:50
Speaker 1: they can't do that. The whole history of it is
47:53
Speaker 1: traced online at you know, the Gateway punted it. Yeah,
47:57
Speaker 1: I know it's a very conservative bias site, but you know,
47:59
Speaker 1: check it out. The factional information is there and I
48:01
Speaker 1: think links to citations where they got the underlying comments.
48:04
Speaker 1: But they go back through the history at the beginning
48:06
Speaker 1: of the Non Proliferation Agreement, which is ratified by Iran
48:09
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy notably under the regime that existed before
48:13
Speaker 1: the Ayatola took over in nineteen seventy nine. Things have
48:16
Speaker 1: changed there since the ratification. The headline is UN Alex
48:23
Speaker 1: Iran as Vice President of Nuclear Non Proliferation Review Conference.
48:28
Speaker 1: If you want to get all the details, I think
48:30
Speaker 1: most of my listening audience can probably already conclude. Basically,
48:33
Speaker 1: I think the United Air Memorates summed it up quite
48:35
Speaker 1: nicely with that quote. I just gave you, yes, one
48:40
Speaker 1: more lack of credibility moment for the UN six twenty
48:44
Speaker 1: six threads on the phone frat hang on. Happy to
48:46
Speaker 1: get your call. Amount of time though, and I want to
48:48
Speaker 1: mention USA Installation Station. It is six thirty one on
48:54
Speaker 1: a Wednesday, and happy one to you snows Lakeside Tavern
48:56
Speaker 1: next Wednesday. For the listener latch five on three seven
48:58
Speaker 1: fifty eight two three talk con fy fifty on AH
49:02
Speaker 1: and T phones, head over to fifty five KRC dot com.
49:04
Speaker 1: Check out your podcast, listen to what Daniel Davis has
49:06
Speaker 1: to say on Tuesday. And also, of course, Breitbart News
49:10
Speaker 1: heard from A. W. R. Hawkins Jesday about the attempted
49:13
Speaker 1: murder of Donald Trump. That further deal. Let's jump to
49:15
Speaker 1: the phone s. Fred's kind enough to call this morning. Fred,
49:17
Speaker 1: thanks for calling. Welcome to the show.
49:21
Speaker 11: Thanks Brian. You were talking about us being the world policeman.
49:25
Speaker 11: How that happened? Well after World War Two, you know
49:29
Speaker 11: we are our enemy was the Soviet Union, and in
49:32
Speaker 11: exchange for us to kind of keep all this, we said,
49:37
Speaker 11: we keep all the shipping lanes open, the trade routes
49:40
Speaker 11: open if these countries would stand with us against Russia.
49:44
Speaker 11: And that's kind of how that started. Yeah, and then
49:46
Speaker 11: if you fast forward to when the wall came down,
49:50
Speaker 11: you know, and Russia was no longer there. You know,
49:54
Speaker 11: it was kind of like, well, we don't need to
49:58
Speaker 11: this this exchange anymore. But as you know, everything's permanent
50:02
Speaker 11: in a political world. But what you're seeing right now
50:07
Speaker 11: is we're getting out the world police business. And you're
50:10
Speaker 11: gonna say, well, we're in it right now. No, this
50:13
Speaker 11: is We're going to let the Middle East take care
50:15
Speaker 11: of itself. We're like, hey, this isn't like the Soviet
50:20
Speaker 11: Union Iran. We can let all these countries over there
50:24
Speaker 11: take care of it. And you're right about the Abraham
50:26
Speaker 11: Accords and what's going on with these other countries that
50:30
Speaker 11: are going against Iran right now, these countries are going
50:34
Speaker 11: to take that problem over and we're out.
50:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, Fred, you are right absolutely. And
50:40
Speaker 1: it's not that I'm oblivious to how he ended up
50:42
Speaker 1: being the quote unquote world police. But Israel is another
50:44
Speaker 1: component of that as well, because Abraham Accords what established
50:48
Speaker 1: at least some working economic relationship between former enemies of
50:52
Speaker 1: Israel and now at least willing to play in the
50:55
Speaker 1: sandbox nicely with Israel countries. Oh, wouldn't it be a glorious, grand,
50:59
Speaker 1: and better place for the our world if all of
51:01
Speaker 1: the Middle Eastern countries didn't have this death to Israel
51:03
Speaker 1: mentality and decided that, you know what, we live right
51:06
Speaker 1: next to each other. Let's just quit beating up on
51:09
Speaker 1: each other and apply all the money and resources that
51:11
Speaker 1: we apply right now to going against Israel and just
51:14
Speaker 1: let them go and do something well, at least good
51:17
Speaker 1: for our people, you know.
51:19
Speaker 11: Brian, As some of these countries over there start to
51:23
Speaker 11: get more prosperous, they don't want to fight and destroy stuff,
51:29
Speaker 11: and Iran is caught in I don't know what century,
51:33
Speaker 11: they're caught in, five hundred, yes, and their leadership is
51:38
Speaker 11: caught into that mentality, right, but that's not part of
51:43
Speaker 11: the modern world, right, And those people over there are
51:45
Speaker 11: going to have to take care of it, because you know,
51:48
Speaker 11: with what we did is Ennezuela took over, We got
51:50
Speaker 11: the Panama Canal out of Chinese bands, and you know,
51:53
Speaker 11: he talking about getting Greenland, but it's it's just all
51:56
Speaker 11: about having bases there, and literally it's going to be
52:00
Speaker 11: the Western Hemisphere because we can't afford to do this anymore. Now,
52:05
Speaker 11: We can't afford to be quote the world's policemen and
52:09
Speaker 11: if we can get these people to take care, it's
52:11
Speaker 11: what's going on with the EU. He's telling them, you guys, hey,
52:15
Speaker 11: we're not doing this, and that's just the whole thing
52:20
Speaker 11: is changing. And if you and you're right about us
52:24
Speaker 11: and our drive up mentality, I want my McDonald's hamburger
52:28
Speaker 11: right now. We don't look at the long term of history,
52:32
Speaker 11: and if you look at what's going on, you can
52:34
Speaker 11: kind of see that the whole globalism thing is changing.
52:40
Speaker 11: And well, I think for the better, yeah, doubt.
52:44
Speaker 1: Well, we learned some hard lessons with COVID about globalism
52:47
Speaker 1: and how it takes out of our own personal control
52:49
Speaker 1: a lot of things like manufacturing of pharmaceuticals. The world's
52:53
Speaker 1: also learning a hard lesson the straight of horror moves
52:55
Speaker 1: impacting the entire global economy over basically what about to
52:59
Speaker 1: a twenty miles stretch of waterway, you know, And this
53:02
Speaker 1: is a real eye opener. People who are literally dependent
53:05
Speaker 1: upon that straight of horror moves to get energy into
53:07
Speaker 1: their country have to be rethinking their own personal future.
53:11
Speaker 1: And if stability isn't brought about in the Middle East
53:13
Speaker 1: and the Iranians continue to be the greatest sponsor of terrorism,
53:16
Speaker 1: and has Ball and all the other terrorist organizations continue
53:19
Speaker 1: to be disruptive to the region, then well, maybe we
53:22
Speaker 1: will detach ourselves from the Middle East. Generally, the world's
53:25
Speaker 1: changing from an energy production standpoint. Nukes are all the
53:28
Speaker 1: rage these days, and if people can turn to that
53:30
Speaker 1: and ignore oil, well, I guess maybe we'll be in
53:33
Speaker 1: a better place. And don't forget the other component of
53:35
Speaker 1: this long term strategy in the Middle East is we
53:36
Speaker 1: needed the oil. Opek was able to control and devastate
53:40
Speaker 1: our economy in the early seventies because we didn't produce
53:42
Speaker 1: our own or we didn't produce enough. We were relying
53:44
Speaker 1: on the destabilized region of the world to get the
53:47
Speaker 1: lights on. How crazy is that we live through that?
53:52
Speaker 1: And thank God for people who are all the above
53:54
Speaker 1: energy strategy. We know are the largest exporter of oil
53:57
Speaker 1: in a planet. I mean remember peak oil days. Oh,
54:01
Speaker 1: I guess that there's more down there than anybody ever thought.
54:04
Speaker 1: Science technology, it's amazing thing what it can do. Very complicated,
54:08
Speaker 1: and yes, over the long term you can see some
54:12
Speaker 1: very positive developments. It just doesn't happen overnight six thirty six.
54:18
Speaker 1: Right now, if you five KERR CD talk station, I
54:20
Speaker 1: want to mention Gate of Heaven's Cemetery, Catholic Cemetery for
54:23
Speaker 1: my carec the talk station six. If if you have KCD
54:30
Speaker 1: talk station, Happy Wednesday, Big Picture with Jack Avan and
54:33
Speaker 1: at the top of the hour news surprising ways the
54:35
Speaker 1: Brits viewed our revolution. That's the subject matter for him today.
54:39
Speaker 1: It's get a nice lesson in history as applied to
54:41
Speaker 1: modern affairs today. You know, real quick to talking about
54:43
Speaker 1: the Abraham of course, and you know the idea that
54:46
Speaker 1: we might have a peaceful Middle East, something that you know,
54:48
Speaker 1: everybody's been talking about since before I was born. Peace
54:51
Speaker 1: in the Middle East. Remember Jimmy Carter negotiation and negotiating
54:55
Speaker 1: with the Egyptians and remember anwar sadat anybody old enough
54:58
Speaker 1: to remember him. He got assassinated in eighteen eighty one.
55:00
Speaker 1: Why because he entered it was the first Arab nation
55:02
Speaker 1: to sign a peace treaty with Israel, and then well
55:08
Speaker 1: assassinated during the annual Victory Parade held in Cairo, which
55:11
Speaker 1: celebrated the victory over Israel in the nineteen seventy three war.
55:13
Speaker 1: About anyway peace sin seventy nine, Jordan since nineteen ninety
55:19
Speaker 1: four has maintained formal diplomatic relations with Israel and then
55:22
Speaker 1: entered the Abraham Accords United Arab Emirates twenty twenty, Donald Trump,
55:29
Speaker 1: they have strong ties now with Israel, technology, finance, and defense,
55:32
Speaker 1: et cetera. Bah Rain twenty twenty, Golf Monarchy signed the
55:35
Speaker 1: Abraham Accords. Morocco strengthened existing ties into full normalization. In
55:43
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, Sudan agreed to normalize relations with Israel's part
55:47
Speaker 1: of the Abraham Cords. Although they have apparently some internal instability,
55:51
Speaker 1: they haven't formally ratified them, but a step in the
55:53
Speaker 1: right direction. So right there, you've got a whole group
55:55
Speaker 1: of countries that are maintaining stability with Israel, with Israel
55:59
Speaker 1: and trading with them. The reason the drivers of these
56:02
Speaker 1: relationships as apparently they are the countering Iran because they
56:06
Speaker 1: all hate the Iranians over there. Apparently security and defense cooperation,
56:13
Speaker 1: intelligence sharing, try to get some peace in the Middle
56:17
Speaker 1: East so they can focus their idea their attention on. Yes,
56:20
Speaker 1: economic cooperation. Hey, look, you know, we can all make
56:23
Speaker 1: a lot of money if we just cooperate trade, technology,
56:27
Speaker 1: energy projects. It brings stability to the entire region. Great
56:31
Speaker 1: developments a little at a time, over time, and again
56:34
Speaker 1: going back to nineteen seventy nine, they've been working on this,
56:37
Speaker 1: and of course everybody says it's the wars for oil
56:40
Speaker 1: going into Iraq, wars for oil worse for Well, we're
56:44
Speaker 1: moving away from that too, and with America being a
56:47
Speaker 1: net exporter, one of the biggest out there, if not
56:50
Speaker 1: the biggest, we've made huge progress along those lines too.
56:53
Speaker 1: You know what, huh, Maybe we don't need to protect
56:59
Speaker 1: the oil reserves and resources in the Middle East. Maybe
57:01
Speaker 1: it's not in our best interest anymore. And I underscore
57:05
Speaker 1: anymore because it wasn't a moment in time ago. We
57:07
Speaker 1: were all in lines trying to fill our tanks up
57:09
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy three during the original embargo thanks to Opak,
57:12
Speaker 1: which is now losing its fangs, United Air of Memors
57:15
Speaker 1: just walked away from it biggest producer in oil, Opak
57:18
Speaker 1: from what I've read. So maybe OPEC will never be
57:21
Speaker 1: a threat to us again. Wow, free trade, Imagine that
57:26
Speaker 1: peace in the Middle East, imagine that great thing. All
57:32
Speaker 1: reeling from gas price has got to call from my
57:34
Speaker 1: mom the other day about that. One of the local
57:35
Speaker 1: stories how gas prices are affecting tristy in school district's budgets.
57:39
Speaker 1: Going back to the fact there are seventy four proposals
57:43
Speaker 1: for school levies on the Ohio ballot for the primary
57:47
Speaker 1: next week, wcpo's de Jay Gross interviewed someone from Mason
57:54
Speaker 1: School Districts about the spike and gas prices, which is
57:57
Speaker 1: of course eating into the budget. Mason's they're seeing about
58:00
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty eight thousand dollars cost increase or
58:03
Speaker 1: their diesel fuel costs, which nationally are going I think
58:06
Speaker 1: they're like at four or five to fifty nationally diesel costs.
58:09
Speaker 1: They said that's the twenty seven percent increase over what
58:12
Speaker 1: they have been paying. District has one hundred and twenty
58:15
Speaker 1: five buses, but they say they're managing the cost. Princeton
58:20
Speaker 1: City Schools said they might have to pull the plug
58:22
Speaker 1: on their pull the plug on their mobile book center,
58:24
Speaker 1: which is short by twelve hundred and twenty bucks one
58:27
Speaker 1: single mobile book center, if prices remain the same. So, yeah,
58:30
Speaker 1: these can have really significant impacts on school budgets, But
58:33
Speaker 1: then again, it's going to have significant impacts on what
58:36
Speaker 1: you and I pay at the grocery store too. Everything
58:38
Speaker 1: in there got there by a semi They got there
58:41
Speaker 1: by diesel price a diesel fuel six forty five. Got
58:44
Speaker 1: a couple of callers online, and I'd love to talk
58:46
Speaker 1: to you right now, but I'm out of time. Maureen
58:47
Speaker 1: and Mississippi James. I'll be right back after a few
58:51
Speaker 1: brief words. Beginning with my good friends at Foreign Exchange
58:54
Speaker 1: West Charrisee DEEF talk Station six fifteen to fifty five,
58:59
Speaker 1: Karrosse Talk Station Jack Outland, and at the top of
59:02
Speaker 1: the air, News is the Big Picture the meantime, A
59:03
Speaker 1: couple of callers online. We're starting with Maureen, Missipi, James
59:06
Speaker 1: hang On morning, Welcome back to the program, and a
59:08
Speaker 1: happy Wednesday to you.
59:10
Speaker 8: Thank you, Brian, good morning. You had a caller a
59:12
Speaker 8: minute ago talking about how Trump probably this has probably
59:16
Speaker 8: all been planned out years in advance, or at least
59:19
Speaker 8: a long time ago, a bit of a time ago.
59:22
Speaker 8: And there's a movie. I agree with that one hundred percent.
59:25
Speaker 8: And there's a movie or a documentary out it's by
59:27
Speaker 8: Nick Alverre and it's you can just google it. It's
59:31
Speaker 8: called Trump's Capitulation Tour, and it's called the Greatest Show
59:34
Speaker 8: on Earth and it lays out a lot of things
59:39
Speaker 8: that help explain what's going on today as far as
59:42
Speaker 8: the strategy things. I don't know. It just it's very helpful.
59:47
Speaker 8: Instead of watching a Netflix movie tonight, people need to
59:50
Speaker 8: go watch this movie and you'll know it's over an hour,
59:53
Speaker 8: but it's really good and it'll explain a lot of
59:55
Speaker 8: the things I call about too.
59:56
Speaker 1: All right, since you alerted people to that and they're like,
59:59
Speaker 1: wait a minute, what was the name some of the
1:00:00
Speaker 1: movies she said to watch? The name is and where
1:00:02
Speaker 1: can people find it, Mareen if they choose to do so.
1:00:05
Speaker 8: Okay, just google this. Put in Trump's Capitulation Tour and
1:00:10
Speaker 8: then it'll be the Greatest Show on Earth by Nick
1:00:14
Speaker 8: Alverre and his last name is A L V E
1:00:17
Speaker 8: A R.
1:00:19
Speaker 1: Nick alver Trump's Capitulation Tour, and that'll take us to
1:00:22
Speaker 1: is it on YouTube or some other site like that
1:00:25
Speaker 1: or is it like a names.
1:00:27
Speaker 8: You have to kind of specify because if you say
1:00:29
Speaker 8: the greatest show on Earth, they'll talk about the circus
1:00:31
Speaker 8: and that kind of thing. So it's going to be
1:00:34
Speaker 8: a Trump's Capitulation Tour. And then you have to put
1:00:37
Speaker 8: in the greatest show on Earth, okay, and then by
1:00:40
Speaker 8: Nick Alvert, and then then we can talk about it
1:00:42
Speaker 8: after everybody watches it.
1:00:44
Speaker 1: I'll fair enough, and all.
1:00:46
Speaker 8: My conspiracies don't understand where I'm coming from.
1:00:49
Speaker 1: We know you got your finger on the pulse of
1:00:51
Speaker 1: what's going on in the world. Maureene appreciate the suggestion,
1:00:54
Speaker 1: and my listeners can choose to take you up on
1:00:56
Speaker 1: it or not. And yes, you know my number. You
1:00:58
Speaker 1: can feel free to call me. Marian. I do enjoy
1:00:59
Speaker 1: it from you. Let's see what Mississippi James has got today,
1:01:02
Speaker 1: Mississibbi James, welcome back, my friend. Always good to hear
1:01:04
Speaker 1: from you.
1:01:06
Speaker 6: Hey, good morning, doctor Brian. I come in peace, love everyone.
1:01:10
Speaker 6: There's nothing you can do about it.
1:01:12
Speaker 1: And are you gonna be at Snow's Lakeside Tavern next
1:01:14
Speaker 1: Wednesday for listener lunch? James don't want to put you
1:01:16
Speaker 1: on the spot, but I know you do occasionally show
1:01:18
Speaker 1: up a lunch and it's always good seeing you. What
1:01:21
Speaker 1: location is it, Snow's Lakeside Tavern. You can look it up.
1:01:24
Speaker 1: It's it's really easy to get to. But if you
1:01:26
Speaker 1: choose to come, I just wanted to ask ahead of time,
1:01:28
Speaker 1: but if you can make it, you know, I love
1:01:29
Speaker 1: seeing you, James. Anyway, what's on your mind today in
1:01:32
Speaker 1: the limited time we've got.
1:01:34
Speaker 6: All right, I got three things I'm gonna try to
1:01:36
Speaker 6: connect real quick, you know, And we're gonna be talking
1:01:40
Speaker 6: about thinking. First, We're gonna start off with the human
1:01:43
Speaker 6: that's the left and right brain thinking. We all got that,
1:01:47
Speaker 6: whether we use it or not, it's in us already.
1:01:51
Speaker 6: Then we're gonna get into a circle of thinking and
1:01:54
Speaker 6: a linea of thinking. Then that translate into a euros
1:02:00
Speaker 6: thinking and Afro thinking, afrocentric eurocentric thinking, and all of
1:02:07
Speaker 6: that comes back to what's going on right now because
1:02:10
Speaker 6: it's about time out for colonizing, white washing, white supremacy,
1:02:16
Speaker 6: and then just about running this course. You know, it's
1:02:19
Speaker 6: time to look at something different. And I'm gonna jump
1:02:23
Speaker 6: around a little bit. You know, we cannot get pieced
1:02:26
Speaker 6: through strength. You get peace through compassion. So we're seeing
1:02:31
Speaker 6: a lot of stuff going on with this war. We
1:02:34
Speaker 6: never thought we would be here. But people that's talking
1:02:37
Speaker 6: about peace, piece piece, that's not peace through strength. You
1:02:41
Speaker 6: get peace through compassion. Now, So no, some people think
1:02:44
Speaker 6: compassion is komba ya and wars me. But you know,
1:02:51
Speaker 6: you get into that next thing. Then we talk about
1:02:54
Speaker 6: the buffet Christians, Well, people are picking choose what they
1:02:58
Speaker 6: want to believe of the bios, throw the other part away,
1:03:02
Speaker 6: like going to a food buffet. But anyway, that's a
1:03:05
Speaker 6: lot of stuff. I know our time is out, so
1:03:07
Speaker 6: I just leave it at that.
1:03:08
Speaker 1: All right, there, mixed bag of thought process there, James
1:03:12
Speaker 1: not course, sure right, sure, ultimately had to add it
1:03:14
Speaker 1: all up. But if you're dealing with a country that
1:03:16
Speaker 1: has zero compassion funds, terrorism funds, folks that do not
1:03:20
Speaker 1: have compassion funds, people that go around and blow people
1:03:22
Speaker 1: up in the name of some religious, religious ideology, or
1:03:25
Speaker 1: literally any given thing, political ideology or otherwise, you can
1:03:28
Speaker 1: only be so compassion to the point where you know what.
1:03:31
Speaker 1: These people are not compassionate. They never will be until
1:03:33
Speaker 1: they get exactly what they want. And all we're looking
1:03:36
Speaker 1: for in this world is to play nicely together in
1:03:38
Speaker 1: the sandbox and not bomb the crap out of each
1:03:40
Speaker 1: other based upon differences. At some point, aggression is required.
1:03:45
Speaker 1: That's the reason we have militaries. It doesn't always work
1:03:48
Speaker 1: out in a peaceful way. In spite of the fact
1:03:50
Speaker 1: that we all want it to work out that way.
1:03:52
Speaker 1: Neville Chamberlain tried to take a compassion approach when it
1:03:54
Speaker 1: came to dealing with Nazi Germany. That didn't work out either,
1:03:58
Speaker 1: So I'm you know, it's it's a very complicated world.
1:04:02
Speaker 1: Very stating the obvious appreciated James six point fifty five
1:04:06
Speaker 1: Jack Avid in the Big Picture. It's seven o five,
1:04:10
Speaker 1: a fifty five Karsite talk station, a very happy Wednesday
1:04:13
Speaker 1: to extra special on a Wednesday. Not only did we
1:04:16
Speaker 1: get Judge enital Paul Town Every Wednesday at eight thirty,
1:04:18
Speaker 1: we're gonna hear from Keith Faber, who's running for a
1:04:20
Speaker 1: Hio Attorney General. At eight oh five that were talking
1:04:23
Speaker 1: about waste talk local agencies to being targeted by criminals
1:04:26
Speaker 1: and the rising cost of higher education. That's an hour
1:04:28
Speaker 1: from now, preceded by Donald and Neill at the bottom
1:04:30
Speaker 1: of this hour, but right now always a special time
1:04:32
Speaker 1: for me Big Picture with Jack aviid in Welcome back,
1:04:35
Speaker 1: my dear friend. Always a pleasure to have you on
1:04:37
Speaker 1: the fifty five KRSEE Morning show.
1:04:40
Speaker 13: Thank you, Gavin. Let's love alignmy this morning. Yeah, because
1:04:44
Speaker 13: that was a heck of a speech. King Charles gave
1:04:47
Speaker 13: to Congress we needed a as as you would expect,
1:04:50
Speaker 13: it was terrific. We've discussed how countries like the United
1:04:54
Speaker 13: Kingdom have a separate head of state, in their case,
1:04:58
Speaker 13: a monarch who does not cover but who represents the
1:05:01
Speaker 13: nation to the world, while the chief executive in Britain's case,
1:05:05
Speaker 13: the Prime Minister, does the political dirty work. We'll focus
1:05:09
Speaker 13: later on the current British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, another
1:05:14
Speaker 13: elegant talker, but one who's a lot less popular back
1:05:18
Speaker 13: home than our combined head of state and Chief Executive,
1:05:23
Speaker 13: Donald J. Trump. Not a great talker, just a great doer.
1:05:28
Speaker 13: As for King Charles, not to be ungracious, but you
1:05:32
Speaker 13: and I and I bet most folks listening have never
1:05:35
Speaker 13: been fans of monarchs. That was the whole point of
1:05:38
Speaker 13: seeking independence. And the Charles Diana Camilla triangle did not
1:05:44
Speaker 13: endear Prince Charles to me because, as you know, Brian,
1:05:47
Speaker 13: when we're not talking history, I write romance novels. Nevertheless,
1:05:54
Speaker 13: and we love our wives. Since King Charles and Camilla
1:05:58
Speaker 13: have come all this way to celebrate so eloquently our
1:06:01
Speaker 13: country's two hundred and fiftieth birthday, let's look at the
1:06:04
Speaker 13: surprising way many Brits supported America even during the Revolutionary War.
1:06:11
Speaker 13: Back in seventeen sixty when he inherited the throne, the
1:06:15
Speaker 13: British people by and large loved King George the Third,
1:06:19
Speaker 13: one reason he was the first member of the Hanover
1:06:23
Speaker 13: dynasty who was actually born in England. For reasons too
1:06:27
Speaker 13: complicated to recap here, George's great grandfather had to be
1:06:31
Speaker 13: imported to England from Germany, and King Charles the Third's
1:06:36
Speaker 13: ancestry is still more German than English, which should delight
1:06:40
Speaker 13: local Octoberfest fans. But getting back to George the Third,
1:06:45
Speaker 13: by seventeen seventy six, the king was losing popularity because
1:06:49
Speaker 13: he insisted on being a divine right monarch, not a
1:06:53
Speaker 13: constitutional head of state who defers to Parliament. George the
1:06:58
Speaker 13: Third should have gotten the mess when a king from
1:07:01
Speaker 13: a previous dynasty, the Stewarts, had his head chopped off,
1:07:05
Speaker 13: just as a French King Louis the sixteenth later lost
1:07:08
Speaker 13: his head to the guillotine. Instead, ignoring all warnings, King
1:07:14
Speaker 13: George started raising taxes on its British subjects as well
1:07:18
Speaker 13: as American colonists. Brits at least had a voice in Parliament,
1:07:22
Speaker 13: Americans cried out against taxation without representation. Even worse than
1:07:29
Speaker 13: other country refused to let its colonies manufacture their own goods.
1:07:34
Speaker 13: Under what was called the mercantile system, Britain reserved the
1:07:38
Speaker 13: exclusive right to buy up all of America's raw materials, textiles,
1:07:43
Speaker 13: farm products, all the rest, but only British manufacturers were
1:07:48
Speaker 13: allowed to turn those raw materials into finished products, which
1:07:52
Speaker 13: the Americans then were forced to buy. That's what the
1:07:55
Speaker 13: Boston Tea Party was all about. Worst of all, Britain
1:07:58
Speaker 13: also insisted despicably that Americans buy other finished goods human beings.
1:08:07
Speaker 13: The Colonial Assembly of South Carolina tried to choke off
1:08:10
Speaker 13: the importation of slaves, not for humanitarian reasons, I'm sorry
1:08:15
Speaker 13: to say, but because the colony quote was sensible of
1:08:19
Speaker 13: the great social and political danger arising from the enormous
1:08:24
Speaker 13: multiplication of negroes in the colony end quote. But still
1:08:30
Speaker 13: curtailing slavery would have hurt British slave traders, and it
1:08:35
Speaker 13: also would have raised the price of tobacco and cotton,
1:08:38
Speaker 13: so South Carolina's law was rescinded by the King. These
1:08:43
Speaker 13: and other measures drummed up support for America. Among the
1:08:46
Speaker 13: growing number of British abolitionists as well as Brits who
1:08:50
Speaker 13: wanted to reign in the crown. One of them, the
1:08:53
Speaker 13: former Prime Minister William Pitt the Elder, warned George the
1:08:57
Speaker 13: third quote, America can be conquered. I wish they would
1:09:02
Speaker 13: tell that to CNN. In the New York Times, and
1:09:05
Speaker 13: the great Conservative leader of the time, Edmund Burke, told
1:09:09
Speaker 13: Parliament that the Crown had gone too far in America.
1:09:13
Speaker 13: Quote you drove them into the Declaration of Independency. That's
1:09:18
Speaker 13: what he called it, because the abuse of power was
1:09:21
Speaker 13: more than what ought to be endured. The most popular
1:09:25
Speaker 13: critic of the King's war with the people was a writer,
1:09:28
Speaker 13: publisher and member of Parliament, John Wilkes. Yes, he was
1:09:33
Speaker 13: the guy who gave his name to Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania
1:09:35
Speaker 13: and to John Wilkes Booth. Not only was John Wilkes
1:09:40
Speaker 13: imprisoned for opposing King George, much as you can be
1:09:43
Speaker 13: imprisoned today for political speech in Britain because they don't
1:09:47
Speaker 13: have a First Amendment adding insul to injury. John Wilkes's
1:09:51
Speaker 13: enemies also called him the ugliest man in England. Wilkes
1:09:56
Speaker 13: cheerfully conceded the point, but boasted that give in half
1:10:00
Speaker 13: an hour he could charm any woman in the Kingdom.
1:10:04
Speaker 13: And when an opponent said he was not sure whether
1:10:06
Speaker 13: John Wilkes would die on the gallows or from Syphless,
1:10:10
Speaker 13: Wilkes replied, the gallows. If I embrace your views, Syphless,
1:10:15
Speaker 13: if I embrace your mistress, Oh that's awesome. Politicians were
1:10:21
Speaker 13: witty back then. Today all Democrats have to say is
1:10:25
Speaker 13: if Trump, yes, yes, if you're Jimmy Kimmel, let's kill Trump.
1:10:31
Speaker 13: These British protests against the King's War in America, coupled
1:10:35
Speaker 13: of course, with General Washington's victories on the field, finally
1:10:39
Speaker 13: helped end eight years of fighting. They also taught King
1:10:44
Speaker 13: George the Third an important lesson about relinquishing power, a
1:10:49
Speaker 13: lesson I wish today's lifetime politicians on both the sides
1:10:53
Speaker 13: of the pond would learn. When told that instead of
1:10:57
Speaker 13: choosing to be a king, George Washington was retiring to
1:11:00
Speaker 13: his farm at Mount Vernon, King George said, quote, then
1:11:05
Speaker 13: he will be the greatest man in the world, which
1:11:08
Speaker 13: I agree. George Washington was. For that and later accomplishments,
1:11:12
Speaker 13: We'll be discussing in the run up to July fourth. Meantime,
1:11:16
Speaker 13: what does the King of morning talk radio say about
1:11:19
Speaker 13: all this?
1:11:19
Speaker 1: No brilliant analysis? What more can I say beyond that
1:11:22
Speaker 1: I appreciate that witty comments you interjected in there, that
1:11:24
Speaker 1: that is side splittingly great and speaking of the ugliest man.
1:11:30
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if social media was around, what the
1:11:32
Speaker 1: discourse might have looked like. Beyond this, you know, the intellectual,
1:11:36
Speaker 1: high level comedy and intellectual discussions they had, and the
1:11:40
Speaker 1: language they used, and the brilliance in the writing. When
1:11:43
Speaker 1: you read the writing from our founding fathers, for example,
1:11:46
Speaker 1: I just I'm in awe of their brilliance. And they
1:11:49
Speaker 1: were all very with the most part very young men.
1:11:52
Speaker 1: And I just then I turn over to the state
1:11:54
Speaker 1: of modern education. I just wonder if there is any
1:11:56
Speaker 1: high school graduate that could articulate anything the way that
1:11:59
Speaker 1: they did, in the manner in which they did it,
1:12:01
Speaker 1: and with the intellectual level that they articulated their positions.
1:12:05
Speaker 1: It's just I stand in awe at their writing.
1:12:08
Speaker 13: I think maybe next week, picking up on that comment,
1:12:12
Speaker 13: we're going to talk about the quality of the writing
1:12:14
Speaker 13: of the founders compared with today's profanity, incessant profanity. Meantime,
1:12:21
Speaker 13: let's get back to Sir Kiir Starmer today. Yeah yeah,
1:12:25
Speaker 13: thanks to Iran and other issues, we find ourselves once
1:12:29
Speaker 13: again at war with the British. It's cold war, but
1:12:32
Speaker 13: it's a war well, at war with the weak, need woke, socialist,
1:12:37
Speaker 13: open border, anti free speech government of Kuer Starmer. Winston Churchill,
1:12:43
Speaker 13: he is not. Churchill's mother was American, and he was
1:12:47
Speaker 13: the man who wanted to stop Adolf Hitler before he
1:12:50
Speaker 13: got the weapons to overrun Europe. Just as another bulldog today,
1:12:55
Speaker 13: Donald Trump has stopped the Ayatolas before Iran could develop
1:12:59
Speaker 13: nuclear weapons that it surely would use. Winston Churchill one
1:13:03
Speaker 13: set of the country whose help he needed back then.
1:13:07
Speaker 13: I avow my hope and faith that in the days
1:13:10
Speaker 13: to come, the British and American peoples will walk together
1:13:14
Speaker 13: side by side injustice and in peace. Churchill found a
1:13:19
Speaker 13: friend in Franklin Roosevelt. America does not have a friend
1:13:23
Speaker 13: in Kirs Starmer and the Labor Party. Still. Starmer is
1:13:27
Speaker 13: even less popular in the UK right now than Congress
1:13:30
Speaker 13: is in the US. He's down to single digits. So
1:13:34
Speaker 13: maybe maybe a new Prime Minister will renew our alliance.
1:13:39
Speaker 1: Is there a Margaret Thatcher in the mix out there,
1:13:41
Speaker 1: Jack Eviden?
1:13:42
Speaker 13: Margaret Thatcher is one of the greatest leaders in the
1:13:44
Speaker 13: history of the world. Unfortunately, she was repudiated after twelve
1:13:50
Speaker 13: years of governing by her own party, by the so
1:13:53
Speaker 13: called Conservative Party, the Tories, and she left a government
1:13:57
Speaker 13: very unpopular in Great Britain. My daughter, you know, lives
1:14:02
Speaker 13: and teaches in England along with her British husband, and
1:14:06
Speaker 13: they cannot stand Margaret Thatcher. I'm sorry to say, what
1:14:09
Speaker 13: is trying to do for Britain. What Donald Trump is
1:14:12
Speaker 13: doing for America.
1:14:13
Speaker 1: Right, and what Reagan was trying to do for America.
1:14:15
Speaker 1: They cooperated quite well. And the economy in Britain before
1:14:17
Speaker 1: Margaret Thatcher showed up, kind of it was worse than
1:14:19
Speaker 1: the economy in America. For Reagan showed up, which got
1:14:21
Speaker 1: him elected, and through Reagan's policies, he would have turned
1:14:24
Speaker 1: it around and we all benefited immeasurably from the progress
1:14:27
Speaker 1: that Reagan brought about. And same thing with the Brits.
1:14:30
Speaker 1: Don't they remember what it was like in the late seventies.
1:14:33
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Brian, don't they.
1:14:35
Speaker 13: Were just going to say Reagan and Thatcher and a
1:14:37
Speaker 13: great pulpe hope, John Paul.
1:14:41
Speaker 1: They throw him in the mix as well. We're short
1:14:43
Speaker 1: on well great leaders along Margaret Thatcher's lines these days.
1:14:48
Speaker 1: And I would hasten to say and point out to
1:14:50
Speaker 1: your comments about Donald Trump's language and how he articulates
1:14:54
Speaker 1: his positions. Ronald Reagan, the great communicator. We could sure
1:14:58
Speaker 1: use one of those these days as well. Jack, sure could.
1:15:01
Speaker 13: But at least we have a great communicator in you
1:15:04
Speaker 13: every monthing. Oh and I can never thank you enough.
1:15:07
Speaker 6: Jack.
1:15:07
Speaker 1: On the heels of you speaking, I really find myself
1:15:10
Speaker 1: in at least the secondary, if not further down the
1:15:13
Speaker 1: list position. But God bless you for the kind words
1:15:15
Speaker 1: and for you coming on every week. Really appreciate your words,
1:15:18
Speaker 1: your and your history weave. It's just it comes across
1:15:21
Speaker 1: as great to me, and I know my listening audience
1:15:23
Speaker 1: appreciates as well. And we will do it again next
1:15:25
Speaker 1: week seven oh five here at fifty five KRC DOT
1:15:27
Speaker 1: the talk station Every week seven thirty one at fifty
1:15:34
Speaker 1: five krc DE Talk Station. Happy Wednesday. It's that time
1:15:39
Speaker 1: of the week where you get the benefit of Donovan
1:15:40
Speaker 1: and Neil from Americans for Prosperity and welcome back, Donovanil
1:15:44
Speaker 1: got your senior advisor for AFP Action and Ohio Hat
1:15:46
Speaker 1: and you're gonna be talking about the primary. It's next week, Donovan.
1:15:48
Speaker 1: Good to have you on the Morning show.
1:15:50
Speaker 14: Again, Brian, always a good time to be with you.
1:15:53
Speaker 1: Hey, Donovan, did you know there's a primary vote next week?
1:15:56
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, I'm well.
1:15:58
Speaker 9: I was just not gonna joe about this.
1:15:59
Speaker 14: I'm already tired of this election and we're not even
1:16:03
Speaker 14: into the main.
1:16:03
Speaker 1: Ticket yet for the general. The question is can we
1:16:07
Speaker 1: get more than ten percent of the registered voters in
1:16:09
Speaker 1: Ohio to actually show up?
1:16:12
Speaker 14: Well, that's what we're dialed in on right now. You know,
1:16:14
Speaker 14: we endorse the number of candidates. We've actually got fifteen
1:16:18
Speaker 14: candidates across the state of Ohio on the state and
1:16:20
Speaker 14: state legislative primaries, and our big push right now is
1:16:23
Speaker 14: out there.
1:16:23
Speaker 5: Yesterday.
1:16:23
Speaker 14: I'm about to jump in the car after I get
1:16:25
Speaker 14: off the phone with you here today.
1:16:27
Speaker 5: And do more of it.
1:16:28
Speaker 14: We're out there knocking doors. Were minded, folks, Hey, you
1:16:30
Speaker 14: got to get out and vote this primary. Elections have consequences,
1:16:33
Speaker 14: they matter, and we need people to get educated and
1:16:36
Speaker 14: get out to vote.
1:16:39
Speaker 1: Well, let's hear about the ones that you've endorsed, Donovan
1:16:42
Speaker 1: and you o from Americans for Prosperity, because we do
1:16:43
Speaker 1: have some choices out there. I'm kind of curious as
1:16:45
Speaker 1: to a lot of these. Yeah.
1:16:48
Speaker 14: Well, one big one in out your Way is Zach
1:16:52
Speaker 14: Haynes for State Senate. Zach is a phenomenal candidate. We
1:16:57
Speaker 14: were when he came in and interviewed.
1:16:59
Speaker 1: With us, filled out a survey.
1:17:01
Speaker 6: We were just.
1:17:01
Speaker 14: Thrilled to see his qualifications. You know, for one of
1:17:06
Speaker 14: the things we see often an interesting anecdote in the
1:17:10
Speaker 14: years I've been doing this I found is, you know,
1:17:12
Speaker 14: if you got somebody who wants to run for office,
1:17:15
Speaker 14: who has built a business, who has built a reputation,
1:17:18
Speaker 14: who has you know, in other words, doesn't need the
1:17:21
Speaker 14: job of elected officials, but has some real good ideas
1:17:25
Speaker 14: about ways we can improve the state, like getting rid
1:17:28
Speaker 14: of the income tax, capping and reforming property taxes, cutting
1:17:32
Speaker 14: red tape and regulations. That's a good indicator of somebody
1:17:35
Speaker 14: you want in public service, right. They don't need it,
1:17:37
Speaker 14: they're not dependent upon the next election to make the paycheck.
1:17:40
Speaker 14: And Zach's one of those guys. So We're thrilled to
1:17:43
Speaker 14: support him in southwest Ohio.
1:17:45
Speaker 1: Another one, though.
1:17:46
Speaker 14: I'll be out knocking, is in central Ohio Wesley Davis.
1:17:49
Speaker 14: You know here Ohio have firm limits and what that
1:17:52
Speaker 14: results in, right is every so often sort of a
1:17:57
Speaker 14: you don't have that incumbency advantage at play.
1:18:00
Speaker 11: And so we've got a three.
1:18:01
Speaker 14: Way primary in Union and Marion Counties for a state
1:18:06
Speaker 14: legislative can't race Eve endorse WESLEYN.
1:18:09
Speaker 6: Davis.
1:18:09
Speaker 14: There again, somebody who doesn't need any job has actually
1:18:14
Speaker 14: gone in the trenches at with us as an AFP volunteer,
1:18:18
Speaker 14: knocks doors with us on important races. It's gone to
1:18:20
Speaker 14: the state House advocating for school choice. And I've been
1:18:24
Speaker 14: out there.
1:18:24
Speaker 9: I was out there yesterday.
1:18:25
Speaker 14: I'll be out there again today knock indoors for Wesleyan
1:18:27
Speaker 14: Davis to make sure that you know, among the three
1:18:30
Speaker 14: way race where you've got three Republicans, all can be
1:18:33
Speaker 14: fine people, but what you really need is that person
1:18:36
Speaker 14: is going to be that bold fighter. And that's what
1:18:37
Speaker 14: Weslyn is and why we're proud to give from the
1:18:40
Speaker 14: Buckeye Blueprint endorsement.
1:18:41
Speaker 1: When you endorse, and obviously I appreciate the you know
1:18:44
Speaker 1: the type of candidate you're looking for, and I support
1:18:48
Speaker 1: exactly what you just articulated. Do you look at the
1:18:52
Speaker 1: opposition the Democrats that are running when just trying to
1:18:55
Speaker 1: match up a better candidate in other words, someone who
1:18:58
Speaker 1: can you know, survive whatever chance lee their best person
1:19:01
Speaker 1: has and like for in a debate or on the issues,
1:19:04
Speaker 1: or do you just look at the Republican side of
1:19:06
Speaker 1: the ledger.
1:19:07
Speaker 14: Well, there's a couple of different things you look at there. One,
1:19:10
Speaker 14: you know, we always look at whether you know we
1:19:12
Speaker 14: have an actual champion in the race, right. We don't
1:19:14
Speaker 14: just endorse because you have an R after your name
1:19:16
Speaker 14: or you say you're conservative. We actually are looking if
1:19:20
Speaker 14: there's a champion at someone we believe is going to
1:19:23
Speaker 14: be able to get stuff done. It often helps when
1:19:25
Speaker 14: you've been volunteering with us and we've seen you, you know,
1:19:28
Speaker 14: up close, and when you're you know, you're just volunteering
1:19:31
Speaker 14: like the rest of us are. That makes a big difference.
1:19:33
Speaker 14: The other thing we do look at is the electability.
1:19:36
Speaker 14: You know, can we make a difference, you know in primaries,
1:19:38
Speaker 14: especially where these districts are plus twenty are right plus
1:19:43
Speaker 14: twenty Republican? The primary is where the election happens, and
1:19:47
Speaker 14: so we take a look at that and we say, look,
1:19:49
Speaker 14: you if you want there are lots of kinds of Republicans,
1:19:52
Speaker 14: lots of kinds of conservatives, and if you want the
1:19:54
Speaker 14: kind that is going to do the big bull transformative
1:19:57
Speaker 14: things that AFP advocates for, we got to get involved
1:20:00
Speaker 14: in those races. And then yeah, we also look for
1:20:02
Speaker 14: some of these at the general election. Like in Zach
1:20:05
Speaker 14: Haynes's case, We're gonna want to be there for him
1:20:07
Speaker 14: in the general because we know he's the kind of
1:20:09
Speaker 14: guy that Columbus needs, or Columbus needs, the district needs
1:20:14
Speaker 14: representing him in Columbus and we'll be able to make
1:20:17
Speaker 14: a compelling case will be a strong fighter against that
1:20:20
Speaker 14: progressive left message that so many of our friends in
1:20:23
Speaker 14: the Democrat Party have embraced these days.
1:20:25
Speaker 1: Well, it's time take a pause, bring donald' neil back.
1:20:27
Speaker 1: Talk about some of the other endorsements from Americans for Prosperity.
1:20:31
Speaker 1: I'm also interested Donovan is seven forty. If if you
1:20:35
Speaker 1: have KCD talk station, very Happy Wednesday to you're talk
1:20:37
Speaker 1: about Donovan Neil from Americans for Prosperity and some of
1:20:40
Speaker 1: the AFP endorsements, and just I wanted to get to
1:20:43
Speaker 1: gauge the temperature out there as you go knocking door
1:20:45
Speaker 1: to door and talking about the candidates Donald O'Neil and
1:20:47
Speaker 1: everybody else with AFP, what do you get? You know,
1:20:52
Speaker 1: what's the the temperature out there? What are people complaining
1:20:55
Speaker 1: about are most worried about as you as you talk
1:20:58
Speaker 1: with them.
1:20:59
Speaker 14: Well, one of the first things is what you find
1:21:02
Speaker 14: is a lot of folks do not know who their
1:21:04
Speaker 14: state representative is, so who represents them in Columbus They
1:21:08
Speaker 14: don't know.
1:21:09
Speaker 9: I think about it.
1:21:10
Speaker 14: You get a lot of time while you're out there
1:21:11
Speaker 14: walking and knocking Brian to think about these things, and
1:21:13
Speaker 14: you begin to recognize, well, you know what, most people
1:21:15
Speaker 14: are living their lives right They're trying to make meet
1:21:18
Speaker 14: in the bills, get the kids to the soccer practice,
1:21:21
Speaker 14: and don't really dialed in all of that. So the
1:21:22
Speaker 14: work we do is incredibly impactful. Our volunteers, our staff,
1:21:26
Speaker 14: our activists who get to do this stuff, you can
1:21:29
Speaker 14: see the movement happen when you can connect the dots
1:21:31
Speaker 14: for a voter at the door on what a candidate
1:21:34
Speaker 14: stands for and why they should vote for them. Secondly,
1:21:36
Speaker 14: I won't mince words on this. Folks are struggling with affordability,
1:21:40
Speaker 14: and you see gas prices at four twenty nine a gallon,
1:21:43
Speaker 14: back to Biden era levels. When you continue to see
1:21:47
Speaker 14: in the nightly news, we're in we're further engaged in Iran.
1:21:51
Speaker 14: We're disengaged from Iran, confusion about what's going on in
1:21:53
Speaker 14: the Middle East, the lack of Congress to be able
1:21:57
Speaker 14: to fund DHS and do this essential function that Congress
1:22:01
Speaker 14: should be doing. There's a real problem out there, Brian
1:22:04
Speaker 14: or Brian, if we don't we the larger conservative right
1:22:09
Speaker 14: of center movement doesn't get some of this stuff on track,
1:22:12
Speaker 14: and our leadership, both Congress and the White House go
1:22:16
Speaker 14: dial in and start getting focused on what matters here.
1:22:18
Speaker 14: People were promised that prices would come down, we onlyase
1:22:22
Speaker 14: energy abundance in this country, we'd rain in the out
1:22:24
Speaker 14: of control federal spending.
1:22:26
Speaker 1: We'd get this.
1:22:27
Speaker 14: Country back on track. And while I think last year
1:22:29
Speaker 14: we were largely in the right direction, these last several
1:22:32
Speaker 14: months have been rocky and rough, and we really are
1:22:35
Speaker 14: going to need to turn the page here if we're
1:22:36
Speaker 14: going to make sure that we you know, sort of
1:22:40
Speaker 14: eskew the historical trend of midterm elections and maintain conservative
1:22:45
Speaker 14: control in Washington.
1:22:46
Speaker 1: Well, your door to door knocking illustrates and the fact
1:22:48
Speaker 1: that people don't even know who their representatives are. I've
1:22:52
Speaker 1: been talking about this a lot lately because it didn't
1:22:54
Speaker 1: just dawn on me, but the literally it's and it's
1:22:56
Speaker 1: global money, if not all money from across the United States,
1:23:00
Speaker 1: which even goes into some pretty local elections anymore so,
1:23:04
Speaker 1: the money equals influence and power because they buy advertising,
1:23:08
Speaker 1: advertising which is serving to and I use this term
1:23:11
Speaker 1: very loosely, educate people who have no concept of politics,
1:23:16
Speaker 1: who don't bother paying attention to it because they are
1:23:18
Speaker 1: going about with their lives. So the money that goes
1:23:21
Speaker 1: into these these just awful, awful bias and quite often
1:23:25
Speaker 1: filled with prevarication campaign ads while you're watching Wheel of
1:23:28
Speaker 1: Fortune or whatever. They do tend to pay off because
1:23:31
Speaker 1: nobody knows the reality of what's going on behind the scenes.
1:23:33
Speaker 1: If you go door to door, that's got to be
1:23:36
Speaker 1: far more impactful than any thirty second commercial for people
1:23:40
Speaker 1: to process. They can ask questions of you, You can
1:23:42
Speaker 1: explain to them why you know your side of the
1:23:45
Speaker 1: equation is right, and why they need to disregard some
1:23:47
Speaker 1: nonsensical ad they seeing you're better, you're in a better
1:23:50
Speaker 1: position talking face to face to actually provide legitimate information
1:23:54
Speaker 1: that's important.
1:23:57
Speaker 14: Nearly every day where I know, joke, every day they're
1:24:00
Speaker 14: knocking doors talking to a voter. One out of well,
1:24:02
Speaker 14: knock one hundred doors. They schupposed knock one hundred doors
1:24:04
Speaker 14: or something like that to day, right, So one out
1:24:06
Speaker 14: of one hundred. Let's say there is some voter I
1:24:08
Speaker 14: run into who says, you know what, I've gotten so
1:24:10
Speaker 14: much of this mail. I've seen so many the ads.
1:24:11
Speaker 9: I don't know.
1:24:13
Speaker 14: I don't know what the truth is here and the
1:24:16
Speaker 14: impact you're able to have by being one human talking
1:24:18
Speaker 14: to another one Ohio and talking to another and saying, well, here, look,
1:24:21
Speaker 14: this is why I'm out here in this beautiful weather
1:24:24
Speaker 14: knocking these doors rather than doing anything else right now,
1:24:27
Speaker 14: because you know, somebody like Larry Kidd, who's in southern Ohio.
1:24:30
Speaker 14: Larry Kidd had built a business. He cares about lowering taxes.
1:24:34
Speaker 14: He's seeing where the red tape and regulations run against
1:24:39
Speaker 14: entrepreneurship and prosperity and job creation.
1:24:42
Speaker 6: He's the kind of.
1:24:43
Speaker 14: Guy that when he gets to Columbus, he's going to
1:24:44
Speaker 14: make a difference in praying that those kinds of conversations
1:24:47
Speaker 14: only happen at the door. They don't happen on the phone,
1:24:49
Speaker 14: They don't happen with the mail piece, they don't happen
1:24:51
Speaker 14: with the you know, Wheel of Fortune TV ad In
1:24:54
Speaker 14: thirty seconds, they happen between two Ohiolands, two Americans talking
1:24:58
Speaker 14: to each other about what matters and what at stake
1:25:00
Speaker 14: in this election. It's powerful stuff, and it's what makes
1:25:02
Speaker 14: our organization a FP so impactful, and are endorsements so
1:25:06
Speaker 14: desired by by candidates in these races.
1:25:09
Speaker 1: Well, and it's also a reason why to try to
1:25:11
Speaker 1: help encourage my listeners to get in touch with AFP
1:25:13
Speaker 1: Action dot court dot com and get engaged themselves to
1:25:17
Speaker 1: help do this very important work and counter this outside
1:25:21
Speaker 1: money influence. It really does have a profound effect. And
1:25:23
Speaker 1: I think that's just it tells such a sad tale
1:25:27
Speaker 1: from my perspective. I mean, the decisions these elected officials
1:25:30
Speaker 1: make and how much impact they have on our day
1:25:32
Speaker 1: to day lives just to me demands paying attention to
1:25:35
Speaker 1: it throughout the year. And I know that just runs,
1:25:37
Speaker 1: you know, runs a foul what people's perceptions happen to be.
1:25:41
Speaker 1: But man, it's it's just a sorry state of affairs.
1:25:44
Speaker 1: But Donald and I, do you have more endorsements you
1:25:45
Speaker 1: want to talk about?
1:25:47
Speaker 11: Well, you know the other one.
1:25:48
Speaker 14: I kind of hinted at it, but I just want
1:25:49
Speaker 14: to just want to touch on it to get here.
1:25:51
Speaker 14: You know, with Larry Kidd in southern Ohio, little maybe
1:25:55
Speaker 14: just outside of your listenership area, maybe not so much,
1:25:58
Speaker 14: but uh, you know, Larry, he is running against incumbent
1:26:02
Speaker 14: state Representative Jason Stevens, former speaker. Maybe some of your
1:26:05
Speaker 14: listeners remember the Blue twenty two saga. He was at
1:26:08
Speaker 14: the center of that. And you know, every part of
1:26:12
Speaker 14: the state deserves good representation, deserves a representation that shows
1:26:15
Speaker 14: up and is effective in the committee process, is effective
1:26:18
Speaker 14: in the caucus process, and they're not getting that with
1:26:22
Speaker 14: Representative Stevens. And somebody like Larry Kidd, right, who again
1:26:26
Speaker 14: built a business, has seen where the government runs amok
1:26:30
Speaker 14: with our entrepreneurs and job creators in the state. He's
1:26:33
Speaker 14: the kind of guy who's going to come to Columbus.
1:26:35
Speaker 14: I'm convinced of this. He's going to come to Columbus.
1:26:37
Speaker 14: He's going to get on impactful committees and he's going
1:26:40
Speaker 14: to do big, bold things that state of Ohio deserves.
1:26:43
Speaker 14: Too many people in southern Ohio are paid lip service
1:26:47
Speaker 14: by the representatives saying we're not represented well in Columbus. Well,
1:26:51
Speaker 14: those folks need to take a look in the mirror
1:26:53
Speaker 14: because they've been representing soul to Ohio for so long.
1:26:55
Speaker 14: It's signed for some fresh blood. Larry Kid's going to
1:26:57
Speaker 14: help deliver that. We've knocked over five thousand doors in
1:27:00
Speaker 14: that district. And if you know anything about appalach Ohio,
1:27:03
Speaker 14: these doors aren't clustered into small developments. They're spread out
1:27:06
Speaker 14: in the hills and valleys of southern Ohio. Our team
1:27:08
Speaker 14: has been doing phenomenal work to help put this one
1:27:11
Speaker 14: over the top. And I think we're going to be
1:27:13
Speaker 14: pretty pleased next Tuesday when the results start coming in.
1:27:16
Speaker 1: Well, one final comment, BEF we part company, Donald and Neil.
1:27:20
Speaker 1: Have you chimed in as AFP chimed in on the
1:27:23
Speaker 1: Secretary of State election. We got Robert Sprague and Marcel
1:27:26
Speaker 1: Sturbage on the Republican side. A choice to be made there.
1:27:30
Speaker 14: We have not you know, we try to keep our
1:27:32
Speaker 14: races to the areas that kind of fit with on
1:27:34
Speaker 14: our core bucket blueprint. While elections are important, election integrity
1:27:37
Speaker 14: is important. That race, along with the other hot one
1:27:40
Speaker 14: that people are watching to just anticipate the next question
1:27:42
Speaker 14: you might have the state treasurers race. Those are races
1:27:45
Speaker 14: we've stayed disengaged on to be able to focus on
1:27:48
Speaker 14: these state legislatives primaries fifteen of which, as I mentioned,
1:27:51
Speaker 14: we've got out there across the state.
1:27:53
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I know that Keith favors one for
1:27:57
Speaker 1: Ohio Attorney General. He's going to be joining the program
1:27:59
Speaker 1: off the top of Aaron News looking forward to talking
1:28:01
Speaker 1: to him. He's running unopposed, isn't he.
1:28:03
Speaker 14: That's my understanding. He's been doing a great job as auditor,
1:28:06
Speaker 14: and I think, you know, makes a lot of sense
1:28:08
Speaker 14: for attorney general, especially when you look at the kind
1:28:10
Speaker 14: of folks the Democrats have on the other side of
1:28:13
Speaker 14: the equation.
1:28:13
Speaker 1: There in November. All right, Donald Neil Afpaction dot Com.
1:28:18
Speaker 1: Get engaged, get involved. They make it easy to do,
1:28:20
Speaker 1: and keep up the great work, Donovan. We'll talk again
1:28:22
Speaker 1: next week after the primary ten forty eight fifty five
1:28:27
Speaker 1: car CYD Talk Station. You can talk with Colin electric
1:28:30
Speaker 1: Collen election eight oh five here at fifty five kr
1:28:35
Speaker 1: CD Talk station. Happy Wednesday, Ryan Thomas hos to the
1:28:38
Speaker 1: fifty five KRC Morning Show. Welcoming back. It's been a
1:28:41
Speaker 1: little while. He's a early auditors state Keith Faber, he's
1:28:45
Speaker 1: running for Ohio Attorney General. Welcome to the program, Keith
1:28:47
Speaker 1: Faberit's great to have you on today.
1:28:50
Speaker 9: Thanks for having us.
1:28:51
Speaker 2: It's always great to be here.
1:28:52
Speaker 1: Let's start up. We got the primary next week, and
1:28:55
Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong. I understand you're you're running
1:28:57
Speaker 1: unopposed for Ohio AGS or is that correct?
1:29:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm the primary. I have no Republican opponent, so
1:29:04
Speaker 2: I will be the Republican nominee.
1:29:06
Speaker 1: Yet, well, and that means you will be the next
1:29:08
Speaker 1: You'll be the next Ohio Attorney General, assuming that a
1:29:11
Speaker 1: train wreck doesn't happen in Ohio turns purple or blue
1:29:14
Speaker 1: in the next several months. But we'll wait and find
1:29:16
Speaker 1: out about that. Now. What is your motivation to run
1:29:18
Speaker 1: for a Hio Attorney General coming off the auditor's role,
1:29:21
Speaker 1: Keith Faber.
1:29:23
Speaker 2: Look, I am one of the most well prepared people
1:29:26
Speaker 2: to do this job. The Attorney General's job is to
1:29:28
Speaker 2: keep Ohio and safe. It's to try and make Ohio
1:29:32
Speaker 2: affordable by stopping people who are trying to pray on
1:29:35
Speaker 2: Ohio consumers. It's about trying to keep crime and checked
1:29:39
Speaker 2: by supporting the Bureau Criminal Investigation and our prosecutors and
1:29:42
Speaker 2: charits across the state. At my time in the legislator,
1:29:45
Speaker 2: serving as Center President and then serving as your state auditor,
1:29:48
Speaker 2: where we have a track record of now convicting over
1:29:51
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty nine individuals who are lying, stealing,
1:29:53
Speaker 2: and cheating with state money. That's a good track record.
1:29:56
Speaker 2: It's prepared me well to be to do the job well.
1:30:00
Speaker 1: And fraud and both actually outright theft is on everybody's
1:30:04
Speaker 1: minds these days, most notably mine. I talk about it
1:30:06
Speaker 1: all the time. I know the FBI just served, I
1:30:09
Speaker 1: guess rated twenty two Minnesota childcare centers involving a federal program,
1:30:13
Speaker 1: the Feeding our Futures program. And the problem seems to
1:30:16
Speaker 1: be that you know, I heard you mentioned state dollars
1:30:18
Speaker 1: in state money. They'll be state tax payer dollars, but
1:30:21
Speaker 1: what are federal dollars? I mean, these are American taxpayer
1:30:23
Speaker 1: dollars and it seems to me that a federally funded
1:30:26
Speaker 1: program like medicaid doesn't get on anybody's radar, and no
1:30:30
Speaker 1: one within us on a state level seems to care
1:30:31
Speaker 1: about fraud, waste, and abuse within federal programs. But that's
1:30:34
Speaker 1: an insult to every person who pays taxes. Your reaction,
1:30:38
Speaker 1: yeah me.
1:30:39
Speaker 2: Let me just clarify. When I say state dollars, I
1:30:41
Speaker 2: mean dollars that come through inside the state of Ohio
1:30:44
Speaker 2: that are government money. We have jurisdiction in the Auditor's
1:30:47
Speaker 2: office over state, local, and federal dollars, and so we
1:30:50
Speaker 2: have convicted people for stealing all three. The fact of
1:30:53
Speaker 2: the matter with regard to these fraud issues, medicate our
1:30:56
Speaker 2: state dollars. Yes, the federal government reverses Ohio by six
1:31:00
Speaker 2: cents of a dollar that we spend, but we still
1:31:02
Speaker 2: have to spend a dollar to get reimburse sixty cents
1:31:05
Speaker 2: forty cents of that state dollars. That's why we take
1:31:07
Speaker 2: that very seriously. I just testified in front of the
1:31:10
Speaker 2: Joint Legislative Medicaid Committee, and we identified what could be
1:31:15
Speaker 2: up to four point four billion dollars of wasted abuse
1:31:20
Speaker 2: and over payments in the Medicaid system. Just recently add
1:31:24
Speaker 2: to that, what were we identified as potential fraud frankly
1:31:28
Speaker 2: inside Franklin County and the rest of the state in
1:31:31
Speaker 2: the home healthcare side of Medicaid.
1:31:33
Speaker 1: And you've got real money, Oh yeah, real money. And
1:31:37
Speaker 1: you know, mid the swirling debate over eliminating property taxent huh,
1:31:40
Speaker 1: people are always concerned about, oh my god, where's the
1:31:42
Speaker 1: money going to come from to replace that. Some people
1:31:44
Speaker 1: are of the mind, well, if we didn't allow fraud
1:31:46
Speaker 1: or outright theft to occur, then we wouldn't have as
1:31:49
Speaker 1: big of a hole to fill up.
1:31:52
Speaker 2: Absolutely true. Since I've been auditor, we've identified roughly nine
1:31:56
Speaker 2: billion dollars of waste, fraud, and abuse. And it started
1:32:00
Speaker 2: in the unemployment pandemic unemployment situation, which we tagged at
1:32:05
Speaker 2: just shy a seven billion, and then going on with
1:32:08
Speaker 2: conservative numbers, we've now identified medicated twice. One was about
1:32:13
Speaker 2: a billion, another was about a billion four and this
1:32:16
Speaker 2: last one could be up to four point four billion.
1:32:18
Speaker 2: It ranges from eight hundred million to four point four million.
1:32:21
Speaker 2: We use the conservative numbers in our chart. But the
1:32:24
Speaker 2: bottom line is all government. When you have a big
1:32:27
Speaker 2: government benefit program, we know there's fraud in that program
1:32:30
Speaker 2: and government needs to take steps affirmively to try and
1:32:33
Speaker 2: chase out the fraud. In the Auditor's office, what we
1:32:36
Speaker 2: do is identify the potential. We identify the weakness for
1:32:40
Speaker 2: that fraud. It's on the agencies to do the beneficiary
1:32:44
Speaker 2: checks and put the controls in place to make it
1:32:46
Speaker 2: tough for people to cheat. Unfortunately, too many of these
1:32:49
Speaker 2: big government programs, it's not just tough to cheat, it's
1:32:52
Speaker 2: easy to achieve.
1:32:54
Speaker 1: And in your role as a Hio Attorney General, assuming
1:32:57
Speaker 1: and I think it's a safe assumption you're going to
1:32:58
Speaker 1: be there, will you go after these thieves if I
1:33:01
Speaker 1: can boil them down in a finite singular term, thieves.
1:33:07
Speaker 2: Every day and twice on Sunday, We're going to have
1:33:09
Speaker 2: a very aggressive program to go after those people who
1:33:12
Speaker 2: are taking advantage. By the way, the Attorney General is
1:33:14
Speaker 2: the entity that has the jurisdiction to prosecute medicaid fraud,
1:33:18
Speaker 2: and we will identify that aggressively, whether working with the auditor,
1:33:22
Speaker 2: working with Medicaid or the MUFUKO which is Medicaid Fraud
1:33:26
Speaker 2: Division inside the area, I think you need to find
1:33:30
Speaker 2: and make examples of people who are abusing public tax dollars.
1:33:33
Speaker 2: I've done that as auditor, we will continue to do
1:33:36
Speaker 2: that as Attorney General. But not just there. I mean,
1:33:38
Speaker 2: we've got scammers that are trying to take advantage of
1:33:41
Speaker 2: everybody every day Ohioans, and day doesn't go by that.
1:33:44
Speaker 2: I don't get five to ten people calling me pretending
1:33:47
Speaker 2: to want to put me on a Medicaid advantage program
1:33:50
Speaker 2: or a Medicare advantage program. I'm not Medicare, are Medicaid eligible,
1:33:54
Speaker 2: So I know those are all scam calls. And what
1:33:57
Speaker 2: they do is they try and target people who have
1:33:59
Speaker 2: had numbers like mine for twenty five years that haven't changed,
1:34:03
Speaker 2: and they think that you're a senior citizen and going
1:34:05
Speaker 2: to be dollible. We need to grab those people and
1:34:07
Speaker 2: help protect our senior citizens, help protect Ohioans from cyber fraud.
1:34:12
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I love your statement. You're going to
1:34:15
Speaker 1: be very aggressive in prosecuting people. We'd like to see that,
1:34:18
Speaker 1: of course, like with a for example, in Minneapolis, apparently
1:34:21
Speaker 1: everybody in elected capacity knew the fraud and abuse and
1:34:24
Speaker 1: theft was going on, and it didn't lift a finger
1:34:25
Speaker 1: to do anything about it. You know, enter the Trump
1:34:28
Speaker 1: administration in the rage yesterday and great. I don't reel
1:34:32
Speaker 1: a recall, and I don't want to be necessarily critical
1:34:34
Speaker 1: of Dave us, but I don't recall any high profile
1:34:37
Speaker 1: announcements about prosecuting people in Ohio for this widespread of
1:34:41
Speaker 1: fraud and theft that's going on. Are you do you
1:34:45
Speaker 1: think the current you know occupant is doing a decent
1:34:47
Speaker 1: job in prosecuting or is that something we need to
1:34:49
Speaker 1: ramp up on.
1:34:52
Speaker 2: Well, I think Dave is doing his best to try
1:34:54
Speaker 2: and prosecute medicaid fraud when he can. He has launched
1:34:57
Speaker 2: some fairly high profile prosecutions. But again, part of it
1:35:01
Speaker 2: is he has to get the information from the people
1:35:03
Speaker 2: inside the system. I was hyper critical of our former
1:35:08
Speaker 2: Medicaid director. Now the governor replaced the Medicaid director a
1:35:11
Speaker 2: couple of months ago, and the new guy seems to
1:35:13
Speaker 2: be cooperating with us a lot better, seems to be
1:35:15
Speaker 2: getting us information. For example, the legislature asks us to
1:35:19
Speaker 2: do a complete audit of the age blind, that disabled population,
1:35:23
Speaker 2: which is supposed to be people that have very little
1:35:25
Speaker 2: or no assets inside the Medicaid system. Well, we did
1:35:28
Speaker 2: some snapshots and found that a bunch of those people
1:35:31
Speaker 2: had significant assets, including a number of millionaires. You should
1:35:34
Speaker 2: not be on those programs if you're not poor. And
1:35:37
Speaker 2: the bottom line is is that we are trying to
1:35:39
Speaker 2: root that out. When we find those we send them
1:35:42
Speaker 2: over to Dave and or other people to prosecute. And
1:35:45
Speaker 2: I'll be honest, some local prosecutors will get relatively aggressive.
1:35:50
Speaker 2: They just had a successful prosecution of two ladies that
1:35:53
Speaker 2: were cheating in Columbus with regard to unemployment fraud and
1:35:57
Speaker 2: the millions of dollars. Now, the local judge and I'm
1:36:00
Speaker 2: this sentence them to four years nine months. I don't
1:36:03
Speaker 2: know that I think that's a great sentence for that
1:36:05
Speaker 2: that level of offense.
1:36:06
Speaker 6: I think they.
1:36:07
Speaker 2: Probably needed to go away a little longer. But the
1:36:09
Speaker 2: fact of the matter is that's a Columbus judge. And
1:36:12
Speaker 2: so we try and educate courts and judges and prosecutors
1:36:18
Speaker 2: as to how serious this kind of fraud is. In fact, Brian,
1:36:21
Speaker 2: I am the first state auditor in history to have
1:36:24
Speaker 2: personally tried a four day jury trial against a lady
1:36:28
Speaker 2: who was stealing from a regional transit authority. And I
1:36:31
Speaker 2: went up and did the trial myself. We convicted her
1:36:34
Speaker 2: seven felonies and she was sentenced to twelve and a
1:36:36
Speaker 2: half years in stay prison. So that's how seriously we
1:36:39
Speaker 2: take some of these things.
1:36:40
Speaker 1: Well, I know my listeners are happy to hear that. Now.
1:36:43
Speaker 1: Pivoting over, I understand you have some that there are
1:36:46
Speaker 1: some local agencies that have been targeted by criminals. Is
1:36:48
Speaker 1: this some sort of cyber crime that you need to
1:36:50
Speaker 1: let my listeners know about.
1:36:53
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I.
1:36:53
Speaker 2: Think your listeners need to be aware of that in
1:36:55
Speaker 2: their own world as well. But certainly with regard to
1:36:57
Speaker 2: local governments, we are very very good to try and
1:37:00
Speaker 2: stamp out cybercrime. We have had a big uptick and
1:37:05
Speaker 2: people either stealing in whitewashing checks. So make sure you're
1:37:09
Speaker 2: doing your check reconciliation every month on your checkbook because
1:37:12
Speaker 2: people are stealing checks out of the mailbox. I thought
1:37:15
Speaker 2: that crime had kind of gone away as being old tech,
1:37:17
Speaker 2: but they're doing it again. But what they're doing now
1:37:20
Speaker 2: is they're doing the electronic deposit. And our friends at
1:37:23
Speaker 2: the banks, who aren't always out to help consumers, our
1:37:26
Speaker 2: friends at the banks are trying to make electronic deposit
1:37:29
Speaker 2: have different rules than the old check rules with regard
1:37:31
Speaker 2: to how fast businesses and government and maybe even individuals
1:37:36
Speaker 2: have to report this stuff. So if you don't see
1:37:38
Speaker 2: it right away and you don't report it, you could
1:37:40
Speaker 2: be stuck with the lossow And so that's a big
1:37:43
Speaker 2: thing we're telling people with regard to local governments. They've
1:37:46
Speaker 2: got people pretending to be a vendor. And I always say,
1:37:49
Speaker 2: here's the best example. Somebody calls up and says, hey, township,
1:37:53
Speaker 2: I'm ABC paving. I did work for you guys on
1:37:56
Speaker 2: your streets. I changed my bank from Fifth Third to
1:37:59
Speaker 2: Key Banks, I do bank information, send my checkout, and
1:38:02
Speaker 2: all too many of our local governments are just saying okay,
1:38:05
Speaker 2: and we send the check to the new bank account
1:38:07
Speaker 2: and guess what that really was an ABC paying So
1:38:10
Speaker 2: we sent out guidance the local governments as to how
1:38:14
Speaker 2: to avoid that loss. And unfortunately, every single week I'm
1:38:18
Speaker 2: still seeing losses in the ten thousand, twenty thousand, one
1:38:20
Speaker 2: hundred thousand, and in one case in a school district
1:38:23
Speaker 2: in the Claremont County one point seven million. So this
1:38:26
Speaker 2: is real money that there's Unfortunately it's often taxpayers on
1:38:32
Speaker 2: the hook. So we're trying to stop that. We're trying
1:38:34
Speaker 2: to educate and we're trying to.
1:38:36
Speaker 1: Prevent well like hearing that as well. Keith Faber And
1:38:39
Speaker 1: one more topic, do you over with you the rise
1:38:41
Speaker 1: and cost of higher education. You're running for a Higo
1:38:43
Speaker 1: Attorney General. How does this factor into your role as
1:38:46
Speaker 1: a Higoway ag.
1:38:49
Speaker 5: Well?
1:38:49
Speaker 2: As Attorney general, you are the lawyer for all state colleges,
1:38:53
Speaker 2: universities and state government. And so one of the things
1:38:56
Speaker 2: you need to do is have policies and procedures that
1:38:59
Speaker 2: candidly import improve access, and improve things that are going
1:39:04
Speaker 2: to make the colleges better. Part of that is getting
1:39:07
Speaker 2: rid of the DEI programs. Part of is enforcing state
1:39:09
Speaker 2: law with regard to the new laws with regard to the DEBI.
1:39:13
Speaker 2: It's also helping the universities be more efficient and affordable. Look,
1:39:17
Speaker 2: higher end has gotten too darn expensive, and we're not
1:39:20
Speaker 2: doing a lot in Ohio to try and lower that
1:39:22
Speaker 2: cost curve. We can do better. When I was Senate President,
1:39:26
Speaker 2: we passed then the Senate President's Challenge to reduce the
1:39:29
Speaker 2: cost of higher education, and we reduced the average across
1:39:33
Speaker 2: Ohio between twelve and fifteen percent and the cost of
1:39:36
Speaker 2: education getting a degree. Unfortunately, higher education has creaked up
1:39:40
Speaker 2: since then, and we're still making it too darn expensive
1:39:43
Speaker 2: for too many Ohioans, but not every here's a big example.
1:39:48
Speaker 2: I'm going to tour Xaviors new med school today. One
1:39:51
Speaker 2: of the things we see in the cost of healthcare
1:39:54
Speaker 2: is the limitation and access to doctors and healthcare professionals,
1:39:57
Speaker 2: so that drives up cost. Behavior is trying to fix
1:40:01
Speaker 2: that by educating more doctors. But if you just look
1:40:03
Speaker 2: at one of our flagship med schools in the Ohio
1:40:06
Speaker 2: State University Mi alma mater, it is almost half of
1:40:10
Speaker 2: the people that come in and are accepted that med
1:40:12
Speaker 2: school are not from Ohio. Most people aren't going to
1:40:14
Speaker 2: stay in Ohio. And why are state tax dollars subsidizing
1:40:18
Speaker 2: a college or university to educate doctors for the rest
1:40:21
Speaker 2: of the world and the rest of the country. This
1:40:23
Speaker 2: is something that Ohio needs to be more vigilant of
1:40:25
Speaker 2: and we need to have more educated doctors, more educated
1:40:28
Speaker 2: professionals here in Ohio.
1:40:30
Speaker 1: Well, i'd seem to be the universities love those out
1:40:32
Speaker 1: of state folks. As they pay out of state tuition,
1:40:34
Speaker 1: they don't get the benefit of a lower tuition rate,
1:40:36
Speaker 1: which is money for the universities.
1:40:40
Speaker 2: That's right, and the universities, like anybody, if you can
1:40:44
Speaker 2: get two dollars for what you can charge in state
1:40:46
Speaker 2: residents for a dollars, try and figure out how to
1:40:48
Speaker 2: do that. But the reality is, as long as the
1:40:51
Speaker 2: state subsiglars are, they are there to subsidize the institutions.
1:40:54
Speaker 2: Ohioans have a right to expect that Ohio students are
1:40:58
Speaker 2: the ones being educated and that those people are coming
1:41:00
Speaker 2: back to the lower the cost for all Ohlands. And so
1:41:02
Speaker 2: the bottom line is, look, we need to reduce the
1:41:05
Speaker 2: overall costs of higher education, and one of the ways
1:41:08
Speaker 2: you do that is by getting rid of unnecessary, frivolous programs.
1:41:11
Speaker 2: You're getting rid of things that we're just increasing the cost.
1:41:15
Speaker 2: And so that's why we need to focus not only
1:41:17
Speaker 2: on butts in the seats, we need to focus on
1:41:21
Speaker 2: what those butts are costing and who's.
1:41:23
Speaker 5: Paying for it.
1:41:24
Speaker 1: Keith favor or running for a high Attorney General. You'd
1:41:26
Speaker 1: be voting for him in November unopposed in the primary
1:41:29
Speaker 1: next week. Keith has been a pleasure having you on.
1:41:30
Speaker 1: I like your ideas and thoughts on the role, and
1:41:33
Speaker 1: you're always welcome here on the fifty five KRC morning shows.
1:41:35
Speaker 1: We get closer and closer November.
1:41:38
Speaker 2: Thanks Brian, and everybody be safe out there and continue
1:41:42
Speaker 2: to support your law enforcement. They need your backing.
1:41:44
Speaker 1: Amen to that. My friend, you got no problem with.
1:41:47
Speaker 15: Me his National shrimp scampy day, So why not right now,
1:41:52
Speaker 15: add a little butter with angel hair pasta and some
1:41:55
Speaker 15: sour dough bread and more butter and maybe some fresh
1:41:59
Speaker 15: green and we sit back and we have dinner with
1:42:03
Speaker 15: the judge Chuck Ingram on fifty five KRS the talk station,
1:42:09
Speaker 15: Hey thirty two.
1:42:09
Speaker 1: That concepts on Judge Enita Pulatana's wish list Ingram the
1:42:13
Speaker 1: Politano Thomas sitting down breaking bread over a wonderful meal.
1:42:16
Speaker 1: Welcome back, Judge Ennita Pulaton. It's always a pleasure having
1:42:19
Speaker 1: a fifty five KRSE morning show, my friend.
1:42:21
Speaker 4: Thank you, Brian, A pleasure to be here, and thank
1:42:24
Speaker 4: mister Ingram for the invitation which I happily accept.
1:42:28
Speaker 1: There you go, you know I do too. And now
1:42:29
Speaker 1: it's a question of logistics. Real quick, I thought he
1:42:31
Speaker 1: was actually going to bring up the fact that Yankees
1:42:33
Speaker 1: fans got beaten up by Rangers fans the other day
1:42:36
Speaker 1: at a baseball game. But move away from that, and.
1:42:39
Speaker 4: Was that I didn't didn't know about.
1:42:41
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, just a spew between a handful of people
1:42:45
Speaker 1: just yelled at each other. You know, fans art can
1:42:48
Speaker 1: be fans from time to time. It looks more like
1:42:50
Speaker 1: a European soccer brawl than a baseball game. But anyhow,
1:42:53
Speaker 1: I was so pleased to read your column last yesterday
1:42:56
Speaker 1: when I got at the Trump surveilling States, because you
1:42:58
Speaker 1: start off with the Fizer discussion, which we've had many
1:43:01
Speaker 1: times before, in view of the Fourth Amendment and the
1:43:04
Speaker 1: constitutional reality behind it and what our framers thought, and
1:43:07
Speaker 1: this idea of general warrants. It's expiring tomorrow, isn't it.
1:43:12
Speaker 4: Yes, the Section seven oh two expires tomorrow. I don't
1:43:16
Speaker 4: think they have an agreement, and they'll probably extend it.
1:43:20
Speaker 4: That the statute itself says, and this is the most
1:43:24
Speaker 4: unique statute in the world for saying this. Even if
1:43:27
Speaker 4: it expires, the authorities still exist for another fourteen days.
1:43:32
Speaker 4: That's actually in the statute itself. I don't know if
1:43:36
Speaker 4: members of Congress are aware of that, but the members
1:43:40
Speaker 4: of Congress who complained that Jack Smith, the special prosecutor
1:43:47
Speaker 4: investigating President Trump, surveilled them should think twice about the
1:43:52
Speaker 4: legislation they enact, because all he did was use the
1:43:54
Speaker 4: powers that Congress gave him, one of which.
1:43:57
Speaker 8: Is this.
1:44:00
Speaker 1: Warrants. Pivoting over to Okello Chatrie. I think he pronounced
1:44:05
Speaker 1: his last name correctly, because now we have modern technology
1:44:09
Speaker 1: running headlong into your my protections that are afforded under
1:44:12
Speaker 1: the Fourth Amendment, the right to be free of unreasonable
1:44:14
Speaker 1: search and caesars and the obligation of the government to
1:44:17
Speaker 1: get a search warrant based on probable cause. There is
1:44:20
Speaker 1: no probable cause when you geo fence an entire region
1:44:24
Speaker 1: of the area and ask for the infra data for
1:44:27
Speaker 1: every single cell phone that was out there at a
1:44:30
Speaker 1: given location. That's exactly what they did to Akello Chartree.
1:44:32
Speaker 1: Although he was guilty, but it's the mechanism by which
1:44:35
Speaker 1: they found him that's objectionable.
1:44:37
Speaker 4: And you know, they had enough evidence of his guilt
1:44:41
Speaker 4: without having to assault the Fourth Amendment like this. So
1:44:45
Speaker 4: here's what's happened. A guy robs a bank. The police
1:44:49
Speaker 4: asked Google for all the ping pig information surrounding the
1:44:57
Speaker 4: bank at the time, and on the of the robbery,
1:45:01
Speaker 4: what's the ping information that's the information given out of
1:45:06
Speaker 4: your mobile device showing Google, not the government, Google, where.
1:45:12
Speaker 1: You are thousands of people? Right? I mean, in any
1:45:15
Speaker 1: given day near that bank, there could have been thousands
1:45:17
Speaker 1: and thousands of individual cell phones going.
1:45:20
Speaker 4: By correct correct. So the government talked a judge, not
1:45:25
Speaker 4: a federal judge, a state judge to sign a warrant
1:45:31
Speaker 4: directing Google to reveal all of the cell phones in
1:45:36
Speaker 4: the area. Now, that is an illegal warrant because that's
1:45:39
Speaker 4: a general warrant. We're just going to search this database
1:45:44
Speaker 4: and see what we find. The Fourth Amendment requires warrants
1:45:48
Speaker 4: be based on probable cause of crime and specifically describe
1:45:52
Speaker 4: the place to be searched and the persons are things.
1:45:55
Speaker 13: To be seized.
1:45:56
Speaker 1: Google complied.
1:45:58
Speaker 4: Then they said, okay, we found these thirteen cell phones
1:46:02
Speaker 4: mysteriously hovering around the bank at this hour. Tell us
1:46:06
Speaker 4: who has them. A second warrant. Google complied. Then they said, okay,
1:46:11
Speaker 4: we think there are three of these. We got to
1:46:13
Speaker 4: raid their houses. A third warrant, get to raid the
1:46:17
Speaker 4: houses of these people. Google complied by giving the name
1:46:23
Speaker 4: and location of the homeowners who had these cell phones.
1:46:29
Speaker 4: Of course, they knocked down the door of this guy's
1:46:31
Speaker 4: house and they found the cash that he stole, and
1:46:34
Speaker 4: they arrested him and convicted him. They had all kinds
1:46:36
Speaker 4: of other evidence for him. What the question is can
1:46:39
Speaker 4: the government get Can judges issue general warrants warrants that
1:46:44
Speaker 4: say look wherever you want and seize whatever you find
1:46:49
Speaker 4: without specifically describing the place to be searched or the
1:46:54
Speaker 4: person or thing to be seized as the Fourth Amendment.
1:46:58
Speaker 1: Requires as being around owned a bank is not That
1:47:01
Speaker 1: does not give rise to probable cause that you were
1:47:04
Speaker 1: a bank robber? Correct, So cogate they get from being
1:47:07
Speaker 1: around a bank with a general one all the way
1:47:09
Speaker 1: to the specific identity of the three how the three
1:47:11
Speaker 1: individuals they found the guy. The argument from the government
1:47:14
Speaker 1: is that what because you didn't turn off your location information,
1:47:19
Speaker 1: that you have given up your right to be to
1:47:22
Speaker 1: a fourth threat.
1:47:24
Speaker 4: Who the hell knows about turning off your location information.
1:47:28
Speaker 4: If the Supreme Court goes along with this, this will
1:47:31
Speaker 4: radically alter fifty or sixty years of jurisprudence. The government
1:47:37
Speaker 4: actually argued that it can use these general warrants. This
1:47:42
Speaker 4: is the first time in history that the government has
1:47:44
Speaker 4: made this argument, because before the Trump administration all governments, liberal, conservative, progressive, libertarian,
1:47:51
Speaker 4: whatever you want to call them, recognize that if the
1:47:54
Speaker 4: Fourth Amendment did anything, it invalidated the use of general warrants.
1:47:58
Speaker 4: General warrants are what the British is to break down
1:48:01
Speaker 4: the doors of colonial homes. General warrants and the whole
1:48:04
Speaker 4: reason we have a Fourth Amendment. If the Fourth Amendment
1:48:08
Speaker 4: did anything, it was to eradicate general warrants. For the
1:48:12
Speaker 4: government to claim that they're still around is one of
1:48:15
Speaker 4: the most anti American arguments the government has ever made.
1:48:19
Speaker 1: But it was made with.
1:48:20
Speaker 4: A straight face in the Supreme Court on Monday, which
1:48:23
Speaker 4: is what prompted me to write this. I can't predict
1:48:26
Speaker 4: how it's going to go. The leading case here called Carpenter,
1:48:32
Speaker 4: involving the use of a tracking device surreptitiously put on
1:48:38
Speaker 4: somebody's vehicle five to four decision saying that this was
1:48:42
Speaker 4: an illegal search was written by Chief Justice John Roberts.
1:48:46
Speaker 4: I don't know if he's changed this mind or not,
1:48:49
Speaker 4: and questions from the bench did not give a clue
1:48:53
Speaker 4: as to how he feels about this.
1:48:55
Speaker 1: So we should expect a ruling sometime this summer. I
1:48:57
Speaker 1: guess by all accounts.
1:48:58
Speaker 4: I think we'll expect a rule in this. In June,
1:49:01
Speaker 4: mister Chatriy pleaded guilty but reserved the right to challenge
1:49:07
Speaker 4: the suppression. If they suppress this evidence, then the guilty
1:49:11
Speaker 4: plea is vacated and he can still be tried, but
1:49:14
Speaker 4: not on the basis of what they found in his house.
1:49:17
Speaker 1: And that is typically they suppress evidence that is the
1:49:20
Speaker 1: fruit of an unreason or rather an unlawful surch in seizure.
1:49:22
Speaker 1: So it makes perfect sense, as you always do, Judgenna Poalatono.
1:49:26
Speaker 1: I'm on your side on this and I got my
1:49:27

1:51:32
Speaker 16: So I just got going working with Keegan. I'm originally
1:51:35
Speaker 16: from eastern Washington State, but I've been living and working
1:51:39
Speaker 16: in France since twenty ten, and I have a little
1:51:43
Speaker 16: import company called Supure Richness know the source wines, and
1:51:47
Speaker 16: so Keegan is now representing my little group of producers
1:51:51
Speaker 16: here in Cincinnati and the surrounding area.
1:51:55
Speaker 1: All right, So you he goes out in the world
1:51:57
Speaker 1: and finds really great wines and quite often from some
1:51:59
Speaker 1: small a producers that we otherwise wouldn't be able to get.
1:52:02
Speaker 1: So he carries them, he recommends them to you know,
1:52:04
Speaker 1: the wholesale purchasers, Like you're still doing Jeff Ruby's restaurants, right.
1:52:07
Speaker 17: Yeah, Jeff Ruby's Jungle Gyms, Country Fresh, you know, a
1:52:11
Speaker 17: whole bunch of different uh, you know, bottle shops and
1:52:14
Speaker 17: find any restaurants and even like you know, not just
1:52:16
Speaker 17: find aning but wayfair in Dayton, Kentucky.
1:52:19
Speaker 1: All right, So would Meredith be sort of like a
1:52:21
Speaker 1: scout another person out in the world finding great things
1:52:25
Speaker 1: to steer in your direction? Yeah, that's that's kind of
1:52:27
Speaker 1: like part of the things.
1:52:28
Speaker 17: So she has her own kind of her own grouping
1:52:32
Speaker 17: of producers and things that she's made personal relationships with.
1:52:35
Speaker 17: And it makes it easy for me because you know,
1:52:37
Speaker 17: I trust her and her palette and and you know,
1:52:40
Speaker 17: her aspect on wine, and then she presents the wines
1:52:43
Speaker 17: to me and then it's it kind of is like
1:52:44
Speaker 17: just this whittling down of like what is going to
1:52:48
Speaker 17: go into Ignition's portfolio and then I take it out
1:52:50
Speaker 17: to the world and try to get it in your glass.
1:52:52
Speaker 1: You know, well, this is Francois Schmidt. Yeah, that's the winery. Yes,
1:52:58
Speaker 1: and this is a penal gree yeah yeah, and it's
1:53:01
Speaker 1: a twenty twenty three and it is an amazing It
1:53:04
Speaker 1: would be an amazingly tasty wine if I was able
1:53:06
Speaker 1: to drink, know, the rules don't allow me to consume alcohol.
1:53:10
Speaker 1: But how much would this bottle cost? And where might
1:53:12
Speaker 1: one find it?
1:53:14
Speaker 17: You can find it in a bunch of different places
1:53:16
Speaker 17: coming soon to namely like you know, like jungle gyms, but.
1:53:20
Speaker 1: You know roughly twenty nine nine.
1:53:21
Speaker 17: Oh that's affordable. Yeah, it's right, and for a special bottle,
1:53:24
Speaker 17: beautiful label.
1:53:26
Speaker 1: Great. I mean this is this is like porch pounder
1:53:28
Speaker 1: in my opinion, you know, yeah.
1:53:29
Speaker 12: Like.
1:53:31
Speaker 16: P handmade is it? It's all biodynamically farmed from a
1:53:35
Speaker 16: husband wife team on a tiny little plot of land
1:53:39
Speaker 16: that they have been on since sixteen ninety seven, So.
1:53:43
Speaker 1: This goes back. Yeah, well that's cooler itself.
1:53:45
Speaker 16: We're authentic than that.
1:53:47
Speaker 1: But this is this is a really I mean I
1:53:49
Speaker 1: would argue an ideal spring slash summer wine. This is
1:53:52
Speaker 1: all your all the harmarks of backyard, you know, the
1:53:56
Speaker 1: sunshine is yeah, sitting around having a great time eating
1:53:59
Speaker 1: some more dirvs, refreshing, light, good with food, you know,
1:54:03
Speaker 1: good with food. Yeah, that's the thing about I mean,
1:54:05
Speaker 1: and not that anyone cares about it. What's the alcohol
1:54:07
Speaker 1: content on this anyhow? All right, so this is a
1:54:10
Speaker 1: great and what kind of food wul you recommend with
1:54:12
Speaker 1: something like this? Typic with a pino greed?
1:54:14
Speaker 17: Generally speaking, pinotgree is usually pretty flexible, and that's kind
1:54:18
Speaker 17: of one of the many reasons why it's, uh, it's
1:54:21
Speaker 17: almost ubiquitous. On almost every wine list, you'll find a pinogree,
1:54:24
Speaker 17: pinogregio that the same grape, just different names, different from
1:54:27
Speaker 17: different countries, you know, Italy versus France.
1:54:28
Speaker 1: But you know, very very flexible.
1:54:31
Speaker 17: It's very middle of the road a lot of times
1:54:33
Speaker 17: in terms of acidity, in terms of body, and in
1:54:35
Speaker 17: terms of intensity of flavor. So with this, you know,
1:54:39
Speaker 17: grilled meats like chicken, fish, you know, even like a
1:54:43
Speaker 17: pork chop or something would be great with it. Oh
1:54:45
Speaker 17: your opinion, Pasta's you know, very very flexible.
1:54:49
Speaker 16: Hot day.
1:54:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly, see, you're you're on the same thing
1:54:53
Speaker 1: mentally that I was on. I appreciate that meritith back
1:54:55
Speaker 1: of me up all right, what else we got to
1:54:57
Speaker 1: talk about today in terms of some good recommend nations
1:55:00
Speaker 1: for my listeners out there, Another France wash Schmidt wine. Yeah.
1:55:03
Speaker 17: Yeah, they make a whole whole line of of different
1:55:07
Speaker 17: grape varieties and and you know like Reasling, Pino blanc,
1:55:10
Speaker 17: Pino gree even some silv Honor. And then we have
1:55:14
Speaker 17: a field blend as well that you know, if you could,
1:55:17
Speaker 17: I think you should try. But and then also some
1:55:22
Speaker 17: a couple of selections from demanded raje.
1:55:23
Speaker 1: Well this this is alsas that alsace lorraine. Uh yeah,
1:55:28
Speaker 1: but the wine itself is a France wash Schmidt and
1:55:31
Speaker 1: it says alsas, So that's the that's the name of
1:55:33
Speaker 1: this particular wine, correct.
1:55:35
Speaker 17: Yeah, well uh the Colino cayu so like hill of
1:55:38
Speaker 17: stones is what that translates to.
1:55:41
Speaker 1: Because of this, Oh that's the name. Ye La Colleen,
1:55:44
Speaker 1: I'll call you actually talk to you, Meredith. You're the
1:55:49
Speaker 1: expert of franch l A c O l o I
1:55:51
Speaker 1: n e a u x c A I l l
1:55:54
Speaker 1: o U for those listeners at home with a pencil. Anyway, again,
1:55:58
Speaker 1: this is just something you find maybe at a jungle, right, Okay,
1:56:01
Speaker 1: because people can't buy directly from you, Keegan Corcoran. Correct, Yeah, yeah,
1:56:05
Speaker 1: those pesky you know ABC laws that we know. Don't
1:56:08
Speaker 1: even get me started. But you are going to be
1:56:10
Speaker 1: able to take care of the wine selections at my
1:56:12
Speaker 1: daughter's wedding. I already got that coverment.
1:56:14
Speaker 6: Good.
1:56:14
Speaker 1: I see, I'm confirming it right now. So all my
1:56:16
Speaker 1: listeners are there as witnesses along with with with Meredith
1:56:19
Speaker 1: as well your comments Meredith on this particular one.
1:56:22
Speaker 16: This alces So for Miriam and Frederic they call this
1:56:27
Speaker 16: blend Alzas because for them this is the some kind
1:56:31
Speaker 16: of an epitome of a great representation of what makes
1:56:35
Speaker 16: Alsatian wine so beautiful. So it's a field blend, so
1:56:39
Speaker 16: that means the vineyards planted with all kinds of different
1:56:42
Speaker 16: grapes and then basically they harvest that and it's a
1:56:44
Speaker 16: mix of all seven grape r Also it's a blend, Yeah,
1:56:47
Speaker 16: beautiful blend.
1:56:48
Speaker 1: Okay, because with red wine, some of my favorite red
1:56:51
Speaker 1: wines are blends of red Okay, So I'm not a
1:56:53
Speaker 1: huge cab fan. Because of how dry it is, this
1:56:56
Speaker 1: one tastes a little sweeter if I could taste it theoretically.
1:57:00
Speaker 16: Yeah, it has a little bit of residual sugar, but
1:57:03
Speaker 16: still it is considered dry in fact.
1:57:05
Speaker 1: Audi yeah, but not stuck in your throat dry, right,
1:57:10
Speaker 1: just what I alway think about when I think about cabernets.
1:57:11
Speaker 1: Of course, that's a red wine. I'm talking. We're looking
1:57:13
Speaker 1: at white wall.
1:57:13
Speaker 16: I think it has white super refined like beautiful aromatics
1:57:17
Speaker 16: and then has that like lovely acidity that makes your
1:57:20
Speaker 16: mouth water. So you either want to keep drinking or
1:57:22
Speaker 16: eat something.
1:57:23
Speaker 1: Okay, I maybe have to take a picture of these
1:57:25
Speaker 1: so it can put them on my blog page of
1:57:26
Speaker 1: fifty five carec dot com.
1:57:29
Speaker 16: Biodynamically farmed, which is one of the most natural biodyna.
1:57:33
Speaker 1: Hold on, you just made that up. What is biodynamically farming?
1:57:38
Speaker 1: How's that different from like organic?
1:57:40
Speaker 16: Uh So, basically, just like us, we have immune systems,
1:57:44
Speaker 16: so few plants, and basically the ideas we take all
1:57:47
Speaker 16: the matter, you know, when we harvest, and we pull
1:57:51
Speaker 16: all the canes and the natural plant matter out of
1:57:54
Speaker 16: the vineyard and we mash it all up into a
1:57:58
Speaker 16: compost tea and then we spray that back out on
1:58:00
Speaker 16: the vineyard and it has natural protection against mildew and
1:58:06
Speaker 16: the different.
1:58:07
Speaker 1: So you get a fertilizer or rather an anti insecticide
1:58:11
Speaker 1: kind of effect from natural organic materials on the on
1:58:14
Speaker 1: the on the land. Yeah, good, all right, this is
1:58:16
Speaker 1: a different winery. Yeah, Domando, so.
1:58:22
Speaker 17: Female winemaker, very very talented out of the Warre valley
1:58:26
Speaker 17: in particular region in La Warre called Samour, which is
1:58:29
Speaker 17: about call it forty uh inland off the Atlantic coast there.
1:58:35
Speaker 17: But this particular region is known for shennon blancs, known
1:58:38
Speaker 17: for Cabernet franc, which is what this is, So cabine
1:58:42
Speaker 17: franc is. I know you're not a fan of Cabinet Sauvignon,
1:58:46
Speaker 17: but Cabernet franc is the one of the parents of
1:58:48
Speaker 17: Cabernet Savignon. So Cabernet franc Sauvignon Blanc played some berry
1:58:53
Speaker 17: white created.
1:58:56
Speaker 1: That's the origin story of that well and the offspring. Again,
1:59:00
Speaker 1: if I was in a position to taste this, my
1:59:01
Speaker 1: reaction probably would be least from my pale that nowhere
1:59:04
Speaker 1: near that dry dry that I anticipate when I drink
1:59:07
Speaker 1: a cabernet, right, it would go. It goes on very smoothly. Theoretically, yeah,
1:59:12
Speaker 1: and this.
1:59:13
Speaker 17: Is hypothetically this is it's also made in a utilizing
1:59:17
Speaker 17: a particular method of fermentation called well fermentation, but production
1:59:22
Speaker 17: method called carbonic maceration.
1:59:24
Speaker 1: Very long, fancy word.
1:59:26
Speaker 17: Basically just means that it creates the final product of
1:59:29
Speaker 17: the wine is a little bit more of a fruity
1:59:31
Speaker 17: lift to it, a little bit more pleasing to the palate, understand.
1:59:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I imagine probably a more expensive processing or
1:59:39
Speaker 1: method of method of of I don't know if it, Yeah,
1:59:44
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't believe it like really has an impact.
1:59:47
Speaker 16: No, it's really just to like get a brighter, juicier
1:59:52
Speaker 16: style of red wine that doesn't extract as much tannin,
1:59:55
Speaker 16: which is probably what you find very drying in red wine,
2:00:00
Speaker 16: but not in.
2:00:01
Speaker 1: The case of this one. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Silex so
2:00:04
Speaker 1: Mure somewhere's the region. Silex is the type of soil. Okay,
2:00:09
Speaker 1: that's great.
2:00:10
Speaker 16: Undine calls the Silex soils and these vineyards her dinosaur
2:00:14
Speaker 16: vineyards because they're Jurassic soils. It's the oldest soils.
2:00:18
Speaker 1: On her estate. Well, and as I've learned from Keegan,
2:00:21
Speaker 1: our master's almost master, so many a friend, the soil
2:00:23
Speaker 1: is a really critical component of what the grapes taste
2:00:26
Speaker 1: like it absorbs all the stuff and things from around
2:00:28
Speaker 1: the air and the soil and the region. And that's
2:00:31
Speaker 1: why really really great Sonia's can tell the difference between
2:00:34
Speaker 1: one bottle and another, know exactly what part of the
2:00:36
Speaker 1: world it came from. Uh tell you what, Meredith, it
2:00:39
Speaker 1: is so nice for you to stop in today, and
2:00:41
