  Speaker 1: Five o five. I think about k r C, the
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: talk station. Serious end of the week is near Friday Eve.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: No idea what's going on?
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: You know, that's a perfect SoundBite for me this morning, joe'streker.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that one. You don't even know what I'm
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: talking about, but I have no idea what's going on.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: It's kind of how I felt yesterday after I left
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the morning show. I don't know what in the hell
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: was going through my mind. Maybe nothing yesterday. Apologies to everyone,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: and I'm surprised no one flagged it to me, including
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Joe Strecker. This al said guy, this senate nominee in
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Michigan on the Democratic side. I kept referring it to
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: as the gubernatorial race. I don't know what was nothing
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: was going through my mind. Apparently I wasn't even paying
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: attention to what I was talking about. It is so
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: overwhelmed with this guy's victory, this Democrat, socialist, this communist.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I wasn't paying attention to even the underlying race he
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: was running it anyway, Brian Thomas right to hear. Apologies
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: for that. Just anyhow, It's kind of a cloud that
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: looms over my head. This is one of the reasons
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I never go back and listen to what I said
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: on the radio, because I would constantly reflect back and
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: criticize myself, and it would be running through my head
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: all day long about what I did or didn't say
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the previous day, and so that was what was festering
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: in my mind almost the moment the microphone went off yesterday.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: It's like I wanted to go back on the air
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: and start saying, looks, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I screwed up.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I am a human being. I am I've got faults,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of them, and that's one of them revealed
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: yesterday in my overwhelming sounding like stupidity and apologies for that. Anyway,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: let's see if we can muddle through today with your help.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Please feel free to call me say yeah, you're an idiot, Thomas,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I don't care five one three, seven, four, nine fifty
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: five eight hundred eight two three talk bound five fifty
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: on AT and T phones. I am I'm really looking
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: forward to seven oh five. First of all, because I
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: love Congressman Warren Davidson. I love him being on the program.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I like his politics, I like his attitude, and I'm
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: interested in his opinion. On maybe the Save Act. Lots
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: of activity on that one, interesting sort of developments, including
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: New Jersey. You got some updates to talk about New Jersey.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: How in the hell is that six six hundred people
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: who are not lawfully allowed to vote got on the
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: rolls in the ranks or I got on the voter
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: rolls in New Jersey. But then again, as we find out,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: it may be a hell of a lot worse than that.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Oh so much so that the Democrat governor is now
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: saying she will entertain signing into law a voter ID
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: bill in New Jersey. Oh heck, I had a new
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: poll out even though we're all criticizing polls. Everyone's criticizing
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: polls this morning because the else I had Democrat socialist
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: that won the Senate race in Michigan projected to win
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: by double digits actually only won by around one percentage point.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Lots of analysis and focus going into that, because the
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: polsters weren't wrong on by a big margin across the
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: board what went on there. But in spite of the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: fact that we all criticized Poles and our jaded and
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: cynical about them, sixty two percent of voters actually support
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the Save America acting. When you break it down, it's
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: a bipartisan support. There's nothing wrong with photo ID. Everyone
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: recognizes that we all use them in all things, and
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: including I guess Mom Donnie run grocery stores in New York,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: although he's backpedaled on that, finding himself in an extraordinarily
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: embarrassing position suggesting that, well, the way we're going to
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: be allowed to we're going to the way we're going
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: to keep these city owned and run grocery stores open
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: and not have people flood them taking advantage of a
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: thirty percent discount funded by the taxpayers, We're going to
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: require an ID, yeah, kind of like a library card.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: And that when that happened, I mean, the world blew
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: up on Internet. You can't start saying you need a
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: photo ID or a library CARDI whatever you want to
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: call it to get into a grocery store that was
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: supported by socialists, while at the same time saying you
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: do not need a photo ID to vote in an election.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: What's more important keeping I don't know, We'll say, just
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: get rich people out of the state ru city run
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: grocery stores to prevent those people from getting a thirty
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: percent discount or the integrity of the vote. What's more important, right,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I know, and by from a bipartisan standpoint, it's the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: integrity the vote that's more important. Photo ID not rejected
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: by as many people as the left believes. Susan Looking
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: for Judge Susan Looking returns to the program seven point
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: forty after Congressman Warren Davidson, followed by Shane Cashman, who
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Shane Cashman author of the book Good Villains. You hear
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: all about that coming up. It's a in part investigation memoir,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: unfiltered look at people's people driving today's cultural battles. Among
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the topics Shane can discuss in connection with this book,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: catching pedophiles in Ohio, media narratives, cancel culture, and the
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: making of modern villains, Charlie Kirk assassination, among others. And
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: of course, it being Friday Eve, I heard medi aviation
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: expert Jay Wrath of after Shane Cashman spent some time
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: here on the fifty five kres The Morning Show. So
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: what's going on in the world? Well, okay, for my
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: firearms friends, those who believe in the Second Amendment and
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: are thankful that we've got one, and you might want
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: to talk to the Uranian population about the value of
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: owning firearms when you have an oppressive government that well
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: will murder you, which is happening a lot lately. Yeah,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: the Iranian Revolutionary Guard has been killing protesters, and this
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: has been going on for quite some time, but they
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: continue to do that so much so that the UN
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: seemingly pointless organization and you kind of scratch your head
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: over the things that the UN embraces or rejects, actually
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: came out and was being critical of the Iranians the
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: other day for murdering its own people. Yeah, I know,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: as far as gun going back and pivoting back to
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the actual thing I wanted to talk about. Yesterday, a
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: federal judge in Texas ruled that the federal government can
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: no longer enforce the National Firearms Act, the registration requirement
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: for suppressors, short barreled rifles, short barreled shotguns, etc. My
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: firearms owning friends recognize that they know what they've been
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: through in the past. In order to buy one, you
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: had to register pay a couple of one hundred dollars.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: So when the one big beautiful bill pack they passed,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: they got rid of the fee, the tax that was
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: levied at the time, you wanted to purchase one of
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: these fed heavily federally regulated forms of firearms, short barreled rifles, suppressors,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: short bailed shotguns. Well, if the barrels less than eighteen inches,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: is considered a short paid rifle, unless, of course, it
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: has a pistol brace on it, in which case it
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: was considered a handgun. I listen, we don't need to
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: go down in all the details on that. But the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: tax is the reason the National Firearms Act was deemed lawful.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: It was upheld as constitutional under the Federal Taxation Authority
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Ankan levy taxes and whatever the hell they want, right,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: so it was part of the taxation authority. So the
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: one big beautiful bill packs that passes, it gets rid
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: of the fee you used to have to pay and
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: all the paperwork to eat have to fill out in
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: accordance with processing that fingerprints id all of it. So
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: if you wanted a suppressor because you were trying to
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: save your hearing, you go through the whole the whole process. Odden,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: they eliminate the two hundred dollars fee, and a lot
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: of people went out and went ahead, and I just listened,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: it was the fee that was standing in the way,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: but they still had to go through the registration process.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Guess what doesn't apply anymore? After this? Federal district judge
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: named James Wesley Hendricks from the Northern District of Texas said,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the provision of the National Firearms Act requiring registration, reporting
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: and record keeping for those firearms and accessories exceeds Congress's
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: constitutional authority. Why because there's no more tax associated with it.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: The very thing that the federal government was able to
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: hang its hat on in enforcing the registration requirement ain't
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: there no more. It'd been reviewed previously by courts who said, well,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: it's okay because of the ability to levy taxes, and
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: if you're not levying taxes, the very foundation of it
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: being previously deemed lawful has disappeared. Now, don't get all excited,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: because if you're not in let's lease Kansas, Texas, Alaska, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Montana,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, West Virginia,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: and Wyoming. Not Ohio's not in there. So if you're
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: not in one of those states or a firearms manufacturer, retailer,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: advocacy organization or individual gunnerad You cannot hang your hat
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: on this court decision. It was limited, and the court
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: pointed that out the scope of an injunction camping nationwide
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: based upon a recent Supreme Court decision was Trump versus CASA,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: which limits universal injunctions to non parties. So this is
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: a great step in the right direction. And I was
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: actually expecting this because I previously noted in at least
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: in my analysis of the National Firearms Act, I knew
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: the basis for being upheld previously as constitutional the taxing authority.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: So thank you one big beautiful bill. Go out and
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: buy your suppressor, but make sure you're in one of
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: the states it was covered by. I expect this injunction
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: to expand once you have a final ruling on it,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: it will be case law upon which other jurisdictions other
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: districts can then turn to and look at as having
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: authoritative precedent in any other jurisdiction. Because it makes perfect sense.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: The very thing that justified up holding the law doesn't
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: exist anymore. Ergo, the National Firearms Act is facially unconstitutional. Yay,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: it was a stupid, stupid act. In the start to
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: start with. Anyhow, Bobby's on the fund. Maybe he's got
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: a comment about that he's a firearms owning man. It's
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: five point sixteen right now, and I want to really
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: quickly thank for We're going to break here. Everyone admitted
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: a listener lunch yesterday High Green Brewery, Bentled location. I
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: talked to the manager and he could not thank us
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: enough for showing up, because I love when you guys
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: show up. Obviously he enjoys the business. But he's even
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: made a specific point about talking about the fifty five
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: care See listeners being such nice people. It's a good
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: group of folks to show up at fifty five care

• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the phone to what Bobby's got this morning, Bobby,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Happy Friday Eve to you, sir.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Good morning to you, brother Face Flag family. In today's
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: handicap Thurs.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Oh that's right, it is, isn't it. This is the
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: point in time when Bobby calls in and lets us
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: know the over and under on a violent crime in
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnati.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: It's unfortunate, my brother, but we still got to hold
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: the handicap and at seven and a half.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Deeez Louise, Bobby, I thought five point five last week
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: was pretty damn high. So seven and a half you
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: think it's going to be that much much? What? Why
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: would the number of violent crimes in the city increase
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: this week over last week. It's a dire.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Predictions, my brother. I think they're going to start off
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: on a wild trend this weekend. We've already had thirty
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: some shots at an apartment building and Wallnut Hills.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: I saw the thirty eight or it doesn't end.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I just have to say, though, Bobby, that that was
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: a described as a mentally disturbed woman. Apparently that woman
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: had presented problems with the residents of that apartment complex previously,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: and she just started just unloading. I think thirty seven
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: casings were found on the site on that one.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: There was a lot of mental illness and there is
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: there is that's it's unfortunate.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you. Can I change the subject for a second.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Of course she can.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: All right, Communist Party, these people that won the elections.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: I think it's great. All they're do is split in
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: the Democratic Party and it will fail like all the
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: other ones did. Yeah, give us leverage on ye. All
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: they're going to do.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: Is split him.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: When you have the head of the Senate going ahead
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: and commend these people, I tell you what it is.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: It's comedy show. It is an absolute comedy show that
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: they are not to be able to get under control.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Well, and Chuckie Schumer trying to sound optimistic about the
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: election of the Democratic Socialist side of the equation. He's
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: not a happy man at all. He sees the writing
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: on the wall for his party, but he's got through
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: through through just you know, gritted teeth, say he supports
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: this and it's a big tent and we welcome everybody,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: and yeah, right, A lot of people in the Republican Party.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Of the Rhino wing of the Republican Party was really
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: pissed off when the Tea Party started making inroads based
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: on the core principles of the Republicans should have embraced hissal, responsibility,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: free markets, and limited government. Yeah, that was concerning whatever happened.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: To be safe out there for him. I'll tell you
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: what people have to think ahead. Remember those AOC for
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: President T shirt I had a couple of years ago. Yeah,
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: it's coming eventually.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Well, wouldn't that be a gift to the Republican Party.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Do you think Alexander Ocasio Cortez in twenty twenty eight
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: can win an election?
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Bobby, I think it's wonderful. Get her in there, hell
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: primary or in do whatever you could do to get
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: her in there. It's a comedy show. You can't buy
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: entertainment like this.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that is true. And put some competent Republican of
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: against her. And once Donald Trump's out of the equation,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: they no longer have the Trump derangement syndrome to drive
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: their voters to the polls. I think they might find
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: themselves in a world of hurt. But I would love
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: to see a competent Republican debate. Alexandro Ocasio Cortez, boy
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: gets your popcorn out. Wait for an entertaining event. That
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: would certainly be one. Bobby appreciate the observations there is true.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: That's one of the things. To go back to the polls.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: The polls were predicated on the idea that you know, this, this, this,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I'll say it SENTI candidate was, you know, going to
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: drive people to the polls, and the overwhelming number of
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Democrats that actually showed up is what was disturbing to
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: the Democrats. One point five million Democrat votes cast. When
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: you look at the Republican side, nine hundred and thirty thousand,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: but it was evenly split. All the observers are saying
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: this Kami abdul l sayed, or what however you pronounced
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: his last name. I honestly don't know. I'm happy to
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: be wrong on that one, unlike yesterday when I was
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: embarrassed because I kept referring to it as a gubernatorial candidate.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: But a lot of people, they're saying, were driven to
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: the polls on the Democrat side to vote against him.
• 16:37

  Speaker 1: couldn't hold over the brake. I guess work was calling.
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, once I make it to the job site,
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: anything goes. I you know, somebody can walk up to
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: me and they need something or whatever. So yes, I
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: could not hang on.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: So that's okay.
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, appreciate it.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: I remember when High Grain was Brentwood Bowl exactly.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: Am I an old person when I say that? When
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: I when I talked, I bring up the subject how
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: I remember how something used to be something else?
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: So yeah, if I wasn't already officially old. That steals
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: the deal right there there you are.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Man. I guess people still bowl, though, don't they?
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: I don't know. I mean, is there any bowling alleys left?
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: They pour down Cole Ray Bowl, change that one to
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: something else.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Western Ball is still up. And those where we used
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: to go when I was a little kid was Western.
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well they tear that down, they might as well
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: tear down Carew Tower. That's like a iconic building in town,
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: isn't it. Western bowlt I did want to bring up
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: something that Bobby usually mentions collective bargaining, which obviously is
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: a reference to unions. And I as a I am
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: a union carpenter. And if I'm gonna go ahead, I've
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: said this all the time, if I'm going to do
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: this work, it's better to be in the union. It's
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: it's better for you as an individual, the pay is better,
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: to benefits better and all that stuff. But much like
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: a lot of things that started out good, the unions
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: are they're they're a problem. Because I'm not saying get
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: rid of them by any stretch of the imagination, but
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: it's it's gotten to the point where where people are
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: just taking advantage of h and feeling and because they're
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: any union, and and it is it is there's not
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: enough people who are trying to be proud of the
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: work that they do, the amount of work that they do.
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: You know, there's all this. I see a lot of
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: stickers around, you know, union pride, union pride.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: Well, what are we.
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: Proud of that we walk around acting entitle that you
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: have to give me this and you have to give
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: me that. But I really all I got to do
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: is show up. That's kind of what I see a
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: lot around on job sites and I and I've been
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: around a bunch of them, and and you know, you
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: want to be you know, have people take pride in
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: the union. You want people to think highly of unions.
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: Then what we ought to do is is, uh, get
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: get the membership to understand is that you're supposed to
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: show up for work and actually get something done, and
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: actually do a good job and work well together and
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: cooperate with with the general contractor instead of always being
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: a paining ass, you know, and you know, get some
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: production done, earn your money and not just stick your
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: hand out and say you owe me money, but earn it.
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: You know what is wrong with that, and unfortunately there's
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: this and there's people out here that do that. Don't
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: get me wrong, there's a lot of people out here
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: that show up and there they take pride in their
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: work and they want people to think they did a
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: good job. They want their boss to think they did well.
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: But unfortunately there's not enough of those. There's too many
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: people out there that just figure like, oh, I want
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: to show up and if you give me a hard
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: time and you even if you even say anything to
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: try to get me to hurry up, I'm gonna file
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: a grievance against you, and that type of stuff. That
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: says too much of that going on, and you know, well.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: And that's and that's one of the words that some
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: of the criticism comes from. Because what does all that do.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: It drives the cost of the project up. If you
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: exclude non union shops from even competing in a competitive
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: bidding cycle, you of course are going to have a
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: union shop and of course all the rules, regulations, everything
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: that goes along with that. Immediately, the reason you make
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: more money is because of your union membership and bully
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: for you. But there's an additional cost driver. But are
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: you getting an equal efficiency you know, all things being equal, well,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: is the union shop going to provide as efficient a
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: model as the non union shop? And you're telling me
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: right now, because of the protections and this attitude, the
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: answer is no, it's going to be more expensive. Not
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: only do the salaries have to increase, of course, but
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: if you've got some value in return for the additional pay,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: that'll be okay. But you're not getting greater efficiencies for
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: the more money. You're getting actually less because of the
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: protections that the unions are afforded.
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: Yes, that's correct. And then this is the whole attitude
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: in the Democrat Party. There's some sort of entitlement to
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: to just being just existing. I am entitled to something,
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: you know, entitled to jack if you earn it, that's fine.
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: If you've gone out and done something to earn whatever
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: it is you you've agreed to take as your as
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: your pay. Yes, you you worked it, you earned it,
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: that's fine. But just showing up is not doesn't earn
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: you anything. As far as I'm concerned. All it earns,
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: all it earns you is a layoff check. If that's
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: all you're gonna that's all you're gonna worry about. So yeah,
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: let's let's let's try to get out there and and
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: get people to understand that that we gotta we have
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: an action of progress. We got to actually do something
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: so things get done around here and not just just
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: show up. It's not that's not going to get itthing done.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Your name is there, your union's name is on the project,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: the members are field with that particular union. You want,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: you should show pride in your work, and you should
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: prove to everyone the value of having hired the union workers,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: not the downsides and all the problems and taking advantage
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: and getting people pissed off at your union because you're
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: not providing that value. I mean.
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah. And and by the by the way, the union
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: doesn't doesn't sign any paychecks. They don't pay you. No, Yeah,
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: it's collective that they collectively bargain and use. However many
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: people there are to try to get you a good wage,
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: but they're not the ones that pay your wage. That companies,
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: that company's name that's on that check, they pay your wages.
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: You might not want to think they're the bad guy
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: when they're the ones that are actually paying you. You
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: might want to, you know, give them something in return,
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: you know, and so that they you know, you're earning
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: your your paycheck, that they are paying you, not that
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: union is paying you.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: And oh, by the way, don't both Democrats have a.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Great thanks toime. I was waiting for it, and good

  Speaker 1: they don't feel safe, and they're actually worried that she

  Speaker 1: may eventually return to the building. But again, nobody was injured.
• 23:53

• 24:51
  Speaker 1: boy charged in Claremont County with rape and sexual battery
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: after he admitted this is an allegation, it's an admission
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: to sexually assault a disabled patient. According to Clairemont Conny

  Speaker 1: conducting this drug take back program on behalf of Saint
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Bernard's Medical Center. One resident who actually worked at Saint
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Bernard's Medical Center saw that the recognized the activity not
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: a standard protocol for the employer. Hey, I work for them,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: This is not what we do. The woman, thirty seven

• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Saint Bernard, which she doesn't. Cordy Affidavid, she was carrying
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: a purple bag containing prescription medications. Officers determined this was
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: that this was another resident that was contracted or contacted,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: actually gave their old medication to miss Partovi after she
• 30:46

• 32:09
  Speaker 1: of the relevant video. There was a mother home by
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: herself when the person approached the front porch. She said,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: I couldn't believe that he was dressed in a clown outfit.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Kind of spooky. Yeah, I guess so. Ring doorbells and
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: we got a Grim Reaper man. This from Wales. Twenty
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: six year old man arrested and fined after he climbed
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: under the roof of a hospital in Wales while dressed
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: as the Grim Reaper and staring down at patients, visitors
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: and staffed. Leon Gilaspie what had spotted wearing an all
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: black hooded outfits standing above the entrance of the hospital.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Local news they reported the citing local police. Witnesses said
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: he appeared to be motionless while looking down at people below,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: holding what appeared to be a long blade. North Wales
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: police and firefighters responded. The ordeal lasted about fifty minutes
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: before the guy was ultimately arrested. He later pleaded guilty
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: to causing a nuisance or disturbance on National Health Service
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: premises without a reasonable excuse. No explanation given in court
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: for why he was dressed as the Grim Reaper or
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: why he was on top of the hospital corn authorities
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: charged with causing a nuisance or disturbance as I mentioned.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Also admitted to two unrelated offenses. Pleaded guilty to stealing
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: between thirty and forty pounds worth of cat food and
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: cat litter from a Pets at Home store. Also admitted
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: to stealing food and drink from a Sainsbury store. Court
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: ordered him to pay fifty pounds compensation, one hundred pounds
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: in fines and one hundred pounds in costs. Also find
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: two hundred pounds overall for the hospital disturbance. What's the
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: exchange rate right now? Pounds of dollars five fifty six
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: right now fifty five the talk station. Gary's out there somewhere.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: I imagine he's a fan of ferreting out fraud, wasted abuse.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Got a pronouncement from Jade Vans on that, which will
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: provide a nice topic for Congressman Warren Davidson. Will the
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: federal government enshrine in law fraud protection matters to protect
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: the American taxpayer dollars. Good question that a whole lot
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: more coming up. Got an hour of good conversation before
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: we get the Congressman Davidson at seven oh five. I
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: hope you can stick around the iHeartRadio app. It's where
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: it took to sixty to fifty five care Cede talk station.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Happy Friday Eve, Brian Thomas, my name right here hosting
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: fifty five Carecy Morris. She'd glad to be in a
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: position to do that, even though I screw up from
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: time to time, going back to my embarrassment from yesterday,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: continually refer to the else I had sent it nominee
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: for the Democrats in Michigan as the gubernatorial nominee winner.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know where I was, Yesterda. I apologize for that,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: but I did have fun at Listener one today yesterday.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Everybody showed up. Really enjoyed myself,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: and again the manager at High Green Brewery was really
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: happy to see us again. He said he loves when
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: the morning show shows up at High Graand Brewery, and
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: he specifically mentioned how wonderful you. The people who were
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: there are pleasant, fun friendly. I guess you're probably good
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: tippers too, but in the final analysis, the food was great,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: the fellowship, as always was wonderful, and I truly appreciate it,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: and I shot in the arm for Brian Thomas yesterday.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: We'll do it again next month. We're gonna go to
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: the Turf Club Yay, Eastern Avenue is Refine Turf Club,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: and they're going to open for us because they're usually
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: not open at lunchtime on a Wednesday. It's going to
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: be the second Wednesday of the month because we got
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: Labor Day. We don't want to bump up listening to
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: lunch with Labor Day. So the following week I'll mention
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: it more and more as we move through and get
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: closer to it. But you are always invited five one, three, seven, four,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: nine to fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: to three talk time FAY fifty on AT and T Funds.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Always invited to give me a call to maybe there's
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: something you'd like to talk about coming up. Congressman Warren Davidson.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: We'll talk war, We'll talk inflation, We'll talk maybe some
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: fallout from doctor Fauci. The Save Act also maybe come up,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: because it's been passed a couple of times in the House,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: the Senate dragging its everybody wants voter id not everybody,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: but again a poll and we got to scrap, you know,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: scratch our head of her polls, I know. And the
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: polls with the al Sayed guy were all wrong. They
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: said he was gonna win by more than double digits,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: and he did or by double digits, and he didn't
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: one percentage point. And it's been widely noted. This isn't
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: because of Democrat enthusiasm. It was at a Democrat concern
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: that he was gonna get the nomination. Only one percent
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: was his advantage over his competitor, Haley Stevens for the
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: nomination for Senate. Now, some voters may, they say, have
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: been enthusiastic about voting for Haley Stevens, although given her
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: track record, probably not. But most people are concluding that
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: more than half of her votes cast their ballots against
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Abdul al Sayed, not in her favor. It was to
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: hold your nose vote. I don't want that guy elected.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: I don't want that guy as our senator. I don't
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: want I don't want him because he's not gonna win,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: think because he's too radical. So you got one point
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: five million Democrats actually getting off their butt to go
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: vote in a primary. Compare that to the nine hundred
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: and thirty thousand votes Republican side got. But the enthusiasm
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: on the Democrat side probably has been written off largely
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: as this protest vote. Half of the votes went for
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: Stevens and some again most of which think that they
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: those votes were just to try to keep l Saiet out.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: And here's the other interesting component about that. I read
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: that eighty or roughly eighty one million dollars was spent
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: on the Democrat primary alone. That's not money that was
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: spent on the Republican side. That's this was just the
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Senate primary money. For every one dollar spent to get
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Alsayad elected, eleven dollars went to support Stevens or just
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: to get him defeated. And that really wasn't Republican money,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: although some may argue that we're you know, the conservative
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: side of the leg was funding El Sayed's campaign because
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: it was in the conservative side's best interest because it's
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: a heavy blue Democrat state and Democrats are likely to
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: get elected, but not if they're a communist, so he's
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: a better candidate to run against the Republican in November.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Some are suggesting that this el saied guy is not electable.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: We'll all have to wait and find out about that.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: But that's Democrat money and we can all smile and
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: enjoy the shot and for it. They threw eighty one
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: million dollars and all that money that went to get
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: him well defeated is money that will not be spent
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: in the big race in November. Now I know they listen.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Although there's a lot of reports about the Democrats being
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: short on cash, and they're traditionally very wealthy donors not
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: donating because of the direction the party has gone full
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: on communist, that's their problem. But I suspect they're going
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: to have a lot of money in November. They'll be
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: able to fund the race. There'll be a lot of
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: ad campaigns, but one million dollars worth ain't gonna be
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: available for them in November, which is good, So enjoy
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: that shotten for it. Back over to the ID new
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Rasmussen survey come out and it's consistent with the prior ones,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: so at least we have a level of consistency over time.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: It's sixty two percent of likely voters. It's that category
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: support the Save Act. Photo I D's good thing. We
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: all deal with them every single day. What's wrong with that?
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Photo I D's are good, demonstrably so. And you know
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: you've revealed that or you had that revealed to you.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: When Mayor Mom Dommie in New York talking about his
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: government run grocery store talking about a thirty percent discount,
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: questions swirling, Wait a second, how is this gonna work, Mayor?
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Because if it's thirty percent discount, your government run store,
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: and of course the bodegg is around can't compete with
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: that kind of pricing. What's going to stop everybody and
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: his brother from not just New York and the cont
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: to the various boroughs there, but people from New Jersey
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: and Connecticut driving over to take advantage of the discount,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: reselling items for a profit elsewhere. What's the solution that?
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Those are damn legitimate questions. I mean, whether or not
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: you believe in the concept of a workable, operable, successful
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: government run store, don't you have to have some limitations
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: and curbs on who can take advantage of the thirty
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: percent because the predicate for it is poor people have
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: no grocery stores in their neighborhood poor people cannot afford
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: the basics of life. This is a welfare program, ergo,
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: people who don't need it shouldn't be able to take
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: advantage of it. Enter the library card reference from his minion. Well,
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: we're going to have something like a library card, bottom line,
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: a photo ID to only allow eligible people to take
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: advantage of the discount. That is a logical reasonable solution
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: to keeping people who aren't supposed to be taking advantage
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: of these discounts, right, So, ignoring whether or not they're
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: the right thing to do, problems crop up like, oh,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: this won't be workable unless we can keep those people
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: from taking unfair advantage of the pricing. Right, that's why
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: you have a photo ID. Isn't it more important to
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: protect the integer to the election with a photo ID
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: than maybe a discount on grocery stores. Right, that's why
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: people are in favor of it. Eighty four percent of
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: Republicans back in the bill, Forty five percent of Democrats.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: Now I know that that I know where they are.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: Fifty eight percent of independent voters, the all critical election
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: deciding independents, are in favor of the Save Act. Eighty
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: two percent of us voters. Likely voters say only United
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: States citizens should be allowed to vote in US elections,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: which is in fact the law. I'm glad to see
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: the vast majority of Americans believe in the law and
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: the point of it, including majorities across every single party
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: in racial group. Here's the breakdown. Eighty nine percent of
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: Republicans say only citizens should vote, seventy seven percent a
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: Democrat say it, seventy nine percent of Independence eighty seven percent.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: Let's break it down by race. Shall ras music did
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: eighty seven percent of white voters, sixty seven percent of
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: black voters, seventy four percent of Hispanic voters, seventy five
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: percent of all other minority voters all say US citizens
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: should be allowed to vote and not non US citizens.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: That's pretty damn overwhelming support across the board. What's the problem.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: We know that non citizens have voted, we know that
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: non citizens have been registered to vote. There's the problems.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: Much like we know people will take advantage of the
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: grocery store discounts. There's the problem we identify upfront. How
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: do we solve it? Library card photo ID, same thing
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: in the US elections. This is what the rest of
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: the world has known forever. We're like the only developed
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: country on the planet that doesn't require a photo ID.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: It's logical, it's reasonable. And then you go to New Jersey,
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: where their own governor left winger she is Mickey Cherro
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: has agreed that, yes, if you hand me voter ID,
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: legislation passed here in New Jersey, I'll sign it. How
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: did that happen, Well, it's because it was recently announced
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: that there were six six hundred non citizens registered to vote.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: And here's the really important point on this, and she
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: announces the governor did that was between twenty twenty three
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: and twenty twenty four. Of that sixty six hundred non
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: citizen registered to vote, four hundred them actually cast ballots.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: Now she blamed a computer like a software error on this. Well,
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: the software company, France based vendor Idemia, said, whoa, whoa,
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: whoa no, no, no, They say their system functioned perfectly well.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: It had been specifically approved by the state before it
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: was implemented. The error, according to the vendor of the
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: software which the governor blamed, the error rose when the
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: Motor Vehicles Commission sent non citizen data to the state
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: Division of Elections, which then obviously registered them to vote.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: The company software company said it should not have happened
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: that way. That was the state's doing, not ours. There's
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: no problem with the software, but pivoting over the calendar
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: year is what made this so damn important. Six thousand,
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: six hundred non citizens registered to vote between twenty twenty
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: three and twenty twenty four. Well, wait a minute, that's
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: just one calendar year, and election officials and campaign consultants
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: from both parties believe that the number of non citizens
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: being added to the voter role is significantly higher than
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: that figure. Again, because the state had been automatically registering
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: drivers since twenty eighteen, what you got is sixty six
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: hundred from one calendar year. Trump administration, of course, I'm
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: not left wing. Your friends are going to say, well,
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: I'm no, not believe what they said. Trump administration give
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: a preliminary estimate of maybe thirty five thousand actual non
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: citizens registered to vote in New Jersey, they say, New
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: Jersey political insiders didn't know if that's true. They're almost
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: certain though, that it's more than sixty six hundred, and
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: some speculated it can actually be slightly more. Others said
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: it's even higher than the Trump administration figures. But Democrats
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: and Republicans I like agree that the statewide voter database
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: is a mess. Non citizen registrants just one category of
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: people who shouldn't be on it, like people who left
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: New Jersey without notifying election officials, and those names linger
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: until periodic cleanups of the voter rolls. Well, that's why
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: it's important to have good people managing the voter rolls.
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: And of course we've heard from Robert Spragg, he's running
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: for Secretary of State, comment on that we've got a
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: well oiled machinery in the state of Ohio. There are
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: there's more we can do to make sure it remains
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: that way, so you and I can affect actively rely
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: on the outcome here in the state of Ohio. It
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: ain't over in New Jersey yet, But what do we have.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: We have identified a problem that actually exists in large quantities,
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: and spite of the fact that Democrats have been saying,
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: oh no, this never happens. It's so rare. It's not
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: even worth looking into one percent of the vote determined
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: Michigan Senate race yesterday. Just one percent, and I know
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: that represents more than sixty six hundred. But if you
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: get more to the Trump estimate figure about what's going
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: on in New Jersey thirty five thousand, maybe even more
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: that can impact the outcome of election. Most assuredly, Gurbage.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: Mike's on the phone was great seeing him yesterday. Thank you,
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: I won yesterday. Mike, will get your phone call. Don't
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: go away. I want to hear from you. Six eighteen
• 46:40

• 46:49
  Speaker 1: submariner friend. Great scene yesterday, and your grandson Parker. He's awesome.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: He's particularly awesome because he roots for me. When we
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: played cribbage. I enjoyed my sixteen point victory over you,
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: my friend. I so rarely get to rub it in
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: you even remember the amount.
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: Great job.
• 47:06
  Speaker 7: Before I get to my extension on those remarks, I'd
• 47:09
  Speaker 7: like to extend the fast and pro commercial because, due
• 47:12
  Speaker 7: to the age of my roof and all the recent storms,
• 47:14
  Speaker 7: I followed your advice specifically asked for your son in law.
• 47:17
  Speaker 7: Did you came out A couple of months ago did
• 47:20
  Speaker 7: an inspection that a couple of mine repairs, and once
• 47:24
  Speaker 7: again he said, Mike, you got another three to five
• 47:26
  Speaker 7: years to go. So how many roofing companies are going
• 47:28
  Speaker 7: to do that?
• 47:29
  Speaker 8: You know?
• 47:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah, because my roof climbing days are gone. I'm not
• 47:32
  Speaker 7: going to get up there. You got to put faith
• 47:34
  Speaker 7: and go on by your recommendation.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: I can't.
• 47:36
  Speaker 7: I can highly recommend faster.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much, and I appreciate it. I know
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: Eric's an honest kid, but everybody over there are honest folks.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: But that's very kind of you to rely on my
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: recommendations to support the sponsors of the morning show. That
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: means a great deal to me, my friend. That's why
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: I promise I will never steer my listeners in the
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: wrong direction.
• 47:53
  Speaker 7: Absolutely, And once again, you know, just keeping a little
• 47:56
  Speaker 7: bit lighthearted with all the heavy news to once again congratulation,
• 48:00
  Speaker 7: congratulate you on another well played game. But once again
• 48:02
  Speaker 7: I was at a two to one disadvantage. And yes
• 48:05
  Speaker 7: I did not make him all come to a milia
• 48:07
  Speaker 7: and know, yes he is still in the will.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: He's a good kid. You got to be proud, Grandpa Parker.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: He's awesome.
• 48:13
  Speaker 7: Oh, I tell you, and once again a huge shout
• 48:16
  Speaker 7: out you just mentioned it, but once again to everybody
• 48:18
  Speaker 7: there at High Grain, because you know, when we got there,
• 48:21
  Speaker 7: the crowd was more than manage old. But that is
• 48:22
  Speaker 7: a huge facility with plenty of seating area, and the
• 48:26
  Speaker 7: service was so friendly and every fair that I clearly
• 48:29
  Speaker 7: had with the flat bread pizza. Everything I saw got
• 48:32
  Speaker 7: delivered was phenomenal.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: It wasn't.
• 48:34
  Speaker 7: By the time we left, that place was packed and
• 48:36
  Speaker 7: they handled it phenomenally they did.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: And again I will double down on your kind your
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: praise for High Grain Brewery, Brent was location. I think
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: the food there is absolutely fantastic, and then the service
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: again great it was. It was a wonderful experience, and
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: thanks to them for making it a wonderful experience and
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: for folks like you, Mike for being there. Brother, God
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: bless you, sir. It was fun. Eight six twenty five. Steve,
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry out of time, but I'd be happy to
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: take that call. He just talked Station six kc dof
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: station gonna go straight both because Steve was kind of
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: enough to hold over the break there. Hey, Steve, thanks
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: for holding welcome in the morning show.
• 49:11
  Speaker 8: Good morning Brian, Hey, I am calling. I'd like to
• 49:14
  Speaker 8: divert from all this dsay, the rise of fascism, all
• 49:18
  Speaker 8: that other stuff is important, but I wanted to divert
• 49:21
  Speaker 8: a little bit. The results are now out this year.
• 49:24
  Speaker 8: Every year is going back to nineteen seventy six, Gallup
• 49:28
  Speaker 8: has done a poll of rating for ethics and honesty
• 49:33
  Speaker 8: various professions plus or minus twenty eight professions every year
• 49:37
  Speaker 8: and they rank them from good and bad. And you
• 49:40
  Speaker 8: might be amused by this. I know I certainly am.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: I'm waiting for it.
• 49:45
  Speaker 8: So anyway, for fun, what do you think the top
• 49:49
  Speaker 8: rated profession in America would be in terms of do
• 49:53
  Speaker 8: you want to play that game?
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, the most ethical or the worst in terms
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: of ethics?
• 49:59
  Speaker 8: Well, you go either into the spectrum you want. What
• 50:03
  Speaker 8: would you raise is the top and what would be
• 50:05
  Speaker 8: the worst profession?
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, I would think maybe medicine at the top the
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: most ethical. And I have some you know, concerns even
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: saying that out loud, But since I am a lawyer
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: and I know lawyers will look down upon I would
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: say probably lawyers and politicians are the least ethical, at
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: least among the hearts and minds. That the people surveyed.
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: So am I close?
• 50:27
  Speaker 8: You are very close, very very close out of its
• 50:32
  Speaker 8: Usually plus or minus twenty eight professions a year going
• 50:35
  Speaker 8: dating back to seventy six have been hold analyzed. Whatever.
• 50:42
  Speaker 8: This year, the bottom of the barrel is lobbyist, with
• 50:45
  Speaker 8: Congress being the second worst rating.
• 50:48
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and I am a.
• 50:51
  Speaker 8: Retired hospital pharmacist. Going back to the early eighties, the
• 50:57
  Speaker 8: pharmacy profession was the number one reated profession up until
• 51:05
  Speaker 8: we're now twenty four years It slipped from first place
• 51:10
  Speaker 8: to second place twenty four years ago and again this
• 51:13
  Speaker 8: year nursing, which I'm sure you appreciate that, your better half.
• 51:19
  Speaker 8: I think they thoroughly, thoroughly deserve it.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 51:23
  Speaker 8: For over forty years I worked with their singing. They're outstanding,
• 51:29
  Speaker 8: outstanding professionals.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: They are top job that.
• 51:35
  Speaker 10: Support that.
• 51:37
  Speaker 8: For what it's worth, Lawyers were fifteen out of the
• 51:42
  Speaker 8: like I think fifteen out of twenty eight.
• 51:45
  Speaker 7: Lobbyist.
• 51:46
  Speaker 8: The bottom of the barrel, chen surprise you was lobbyist,
• 51:49
  Speaker 8: with Congress being the second worst.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, you know it's the lobbyist review that they're
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: like the oldest profession. You know, they'll do anything for money. Right,
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: it's not a question of morals and ethics. Who's writing
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: the paycheck and what do you want me to advocate for.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: I'll do it. I may not believe in what you're
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: paying me to advocate for, but i'll do it. Yeah,
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: you suspend your ethics at the door. I appreciate you
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: bringing that up, man. I thought I was at least
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: close in some respect. And yes, I will share the
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: shout out to the nurses in the community. That's an
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: outstanding profession. You know you, and I've always said it,
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: You're almost guaranteed employment any given time, there's always a
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: demand for nurses. You get your degree and then you
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: are employed, and you'd probably responsible for most saving a
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: lot of lives. I always kind of regularly joke, and
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: it's only a half joke. If my wife wasn't a
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: nurse when we had our kids, I don't know that
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: my children would still be alive to this day without
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: my wife. Valuable skills brought to the table. Thank you her,
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: Thank you well, Thank you to the nursing community generally speaking. Anyway,
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: I can get one real quick. I'm sorry to see this.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: We were talking about crime in downtown Cincinnata while the
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: rates for crimeing across the nation. I've reached Low's which
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: is one erful news. Apparently that information of that success
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: hasn't reached the city of Cincinnati. But things are so
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: bad down there at the Saint Francis Sarah's School and
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: over the Rhine. They were before sin Sey City Council
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: yesterday demanding action. Principal Janine Enneking talking with the council,
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: and the discussion was in connection with the nearby Center
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: for Care facility, but she just wanted to bring to
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: attention what she sees every single day, some safety concerns
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: right outside of the school. We got young people in
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: there right there at Vine in Liberty Streets. Specifically, she said,
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: it's not uncommon for us to clean up liquor bottles,
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: beer cans right in this area. People defecate right here
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: on our stoop, urinate, have sex, and do drugs, and
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: she's had to initiate lockdowns due to activities surrounding the
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: street during school dismissal. Isn't that great? Your kids getting
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: ready to leave for the day, and oh no, you
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: can't go outside. We've got people having sex out in
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: front of the school. She's calling in the city for
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: more lighting, additional cameron and stronger police presidence. Gee, isn't
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: that stuff that everybody wants? She said. She's previously raised
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: this issue directly with Aftab parvol yesterday in council. She said, Mayor,
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: you were at my school in the fall. You came,
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: you saw, you were surprised. The only thing I got
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: from that was a connection to the Cincinnati Police Captain
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: and District won Then speaking to council leaders, walk through
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: Republic Street, walk down Vine with your own children in
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: the dark, coming to school and see what it feels like.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: Question Mark, will counsel do that? Joe answered, the question
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: already was rhetorical. The answer is no. Fox nineteen Ali
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: Jannard reporting on this one. Thank you. The school felt
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: compelled to install tarps around sections of the fence simply
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: to prevent the children from being able to witness the
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: inappropriate and disturbing behavior going on outside in the public
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: Aftab Purvall Aftab purvoll Well shockingly did not respond during
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: the public comment portion of the meeting regarding the school concerns.
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: His office did not respond to a request for comment
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: from Fox nineteen, again shocking.
• 55:10
  Speaker 4: No.
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: One six thirty seven right now fifty five carc do

  Speaker 1: you have krcy De Talk Station Friday even happy one

  Speaker 1: to you five one three seven four nine fifty five

  Speaker 1: hundred eighty eight two three to found five fifty on
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: eighteen te phones course Tomorrow Friday being Tech Friday with
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: Day of Matter every Friday at six thirty. Highly recommended
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: segment and nationally recognized. There's all kinds of tech shows
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: out there in Dave's I think in the top ten
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: with our conversations every Friday year in the fifty five
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: Carcy Morning Show, and rightfully so. It's sound advice, and
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: I thought it was rather interesting. And I just used
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: that sort of point because Tomorrow's Tech Friday is to
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: bring up PG. Sittin Feld, who has an essay piece
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: in the Wall Street Journal, and I got a kick
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: out of what he wrote, Yes, Gang of five, PG. Sittenfeld,
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: who went to federal prison. That's what he wrote about.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize how addicted I was to my phone
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: until I went to prison, author PG. Sittingfelt And it's
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: worth a read. But this serves improves my point. First off,
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: his acknowledgment that he was addicted to his cell phone
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: and how weird it was, and how difficult and challenging
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: it was was to go to prison and have to
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: do without. And it's just one small slight point on
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: the deprivation of freedoms and liberties that you are in
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: when you go to prison. They make the rules, they
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: establish where you can be and can't be. They tell
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: you what you can and cannot do. One of the
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: things you cannot have as a cell phone. And spite
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: of the fact he writes about how many people have
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: smuggled them in and how pervasive they are. He even
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: gives a nod to capitalism based upon the number of
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: the illegal phones in the prism. He said, the economy
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: inside of prison is an incredible testament to the power
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: of capitalism, how creativity or how creatively goods will flow
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: to those who want them, so long as the buyer
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: can make it worth it for the seller. Now, he
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: says he never took partooking any of this because his
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: biggest goal was to get the hell out of prison,
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: and I understand that good behavior allows you to do that.
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: Ultimately is sent in prison, sentence thrown out, which he
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: writes about being very thankful for. But I've made this
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: point before in connection with my opposition to the death penalty.
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: And people always challenge me, what if your daughter was
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: raped by you know, say I say, listen, I still
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: feel the same way, because that person would be living
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: in a living hell. You can't do really pretty much
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: anything when you're in prison, and you can't talk to anybody.
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: You're laying in your prison cell. You got a craving
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: for a pizza. Is there a pizza night in prison?
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know, But as sure as hell isn't gonna happen, right,
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: then you live in freedom. You can go out and
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: get one. Right you want to make a phone call,
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: go ahead and make one. You're not in jail. It's
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: these little things that all add up. And he talks
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: about the loneliness and isolation and the deprivation the need
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: for family connection which is taken away from you one
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: small element, and how he learned to deal without it,
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: and how he actually suggested he became a better person
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: for not having a cell phone. He started paying attention
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: to his environment, he noticed things he never really paid
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: attention to, et cetera, et cetera, And but he acknowledges that, well,
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: this is not a tale of transformation. After he got
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: off the jones of having a cell phone, relying on
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: it and using it all the time throughout his day.
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: And he even point the statistics out there. I think
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: he cited as statistic the average citizen is on the
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: phone like four hours plus a day, four hours of
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: down the phones, check them out more than ten times
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: per hour, even doing it while we're watching TV out
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: on dates, driving around. Yeah, we all have that problem.
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: But he tried to avoid going back on the drug
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: the cell phone, but he said within a few within
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: a few months, I reverted to my old habits. But
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: it's a wonderful point on the reality of deprivation of liberty,
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: and that's prison. That's why I say, you know, most notably,
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: if you're a child molester locked in this environment, you
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: are in a living hell, a literal living hell. You
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: could choose the option of death if you want. Is
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: there an actual hell in the afterlife? I don't know,
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: but I know one thing's for sure. Life can be
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: heaven or hell. It's a choice of your making. And
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: if you choose crime and you go to prison, most notably,
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: if you molest children and are held accountable for it
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: and are sent off to prison. You don't have any
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: freedoms and liberties, and you don't have well, the folks
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: that run the jail really giving a crap about what
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: happens to you there. And you got a lot of
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: fellow prisoners that also have daughters or sisters or relatives
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: or friends, and they can easily project that loved one
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: onto you and you'll feel it. Enjoy yourself in the
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: hell you've created for yourself. Six forty seven. Right now
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: that you have KERCD talk station, Jay is on the phone. Jay,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: hold on, Can you see the talk station.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 7: Six?
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: If you do, do you have CARCD talk station? Only a
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: couple of minutes remaining. Let's see how quickly Jay can
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: make his point. Jay, welcome back to the morning show
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: and Happy Thursday.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 10: Happy Thursday.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 5: I'll make it real quick, hey.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 9: Following up on Robert Sprague's interview yesterday, where he second
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 9: time that he has said that there is a weakness
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 9: on the front end of voter registration in Ohio and
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 9: that it's allowing illegals to register to vote. Well, I
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 9: recall Frank Lrose and everybody else in the twenty twenty
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 9: elections saying that we don't need to have an investigation
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 9: in the fraud because there isn't enough fraud to warrant
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 9: an investigation. But furthermore, I called the Warren County Board
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 9: of Elections and they said, we don't know what Sprague
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 9: is talking about. There is a three way check when
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 9: somebody registers the vote. We check with the BMV, we
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 9: check with the federal government. I think it was ha
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 9: and I can't tell you what the third one is.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 9: But the gentleman working at the Warren County Board of
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 9: Election as a director said, in his twenty some years,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 9: he only ever saw two attempts of the legals who
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 9: tried to do it, and they caught them. So the
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 9: Republican Party needs to step up and say were we
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 9: wrong then.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 10: In twenty twenty.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 9: Or are we wrong now in trying to make up
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 9: a problem where.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 5: One doesn't exist.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 9: But I would love to get Loro's on the phone
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 9: or the Warren County Board of Elections and say, is
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 9: there or is there not a gap on a voter
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 9: registration in Ohio.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: That's a fair question considering the conflicting information you got.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: But I like what I heard, what you heard from
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: the Warren County Board of Elections sharing the information and
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: reaching out to the federal government coordinating the databases, which
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: is an easy thing to do in a time when
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: we have AI and dude, it's an easy thing to
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: do since we've had computers that are able to do
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: this kind of work for us. So yeah, I agree
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: with you both both.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 5: Thanks, can't be right?
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: Well, good, that's exactly right. We see this kind of
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: thing all the time with politicians, don't we appreciate Calle Jay.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: Let's see what Mike's got to say. Real quick, Mike
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: got about a minute. Welcome to the show, y, Ryan.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 10: You're talking about people in prison being inhaled. I saw
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 10: the story the other day about a guy he raped
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 10: and murdered a girl. He went to prison, and before
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 10: he went to the big prison, he was in a
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 10: smaller prison, and the girl's brother just happened to be
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 10: in the same prison. A bunch of guys jumped him
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 10: stocking out, and when he woke up, it said Katie's
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 10: Revenge across his forehead and as a tattoo, they tatted
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 10: me in the mirror. He saw that for the rest
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 10: of his life.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: They tattooed it on his head. Yeah, that's awesome. Bully
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: for them, and no, I'm not recommending to go out
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: people want to engage in lawless as it could be
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: that her brother got prosecuted for beating the crap out
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: of and tattooing his That that moniker on his forehead
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean the guy didn't deserve it. See no death
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: penalty necessary six fifty five fifty five Kersee the talks
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: station Congressman Warren Davidson. We'll see what he has to
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: say about fraud, waste, and be We'll see what he
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: has to say about war, inflation and the Save Act. Again.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: We got Democrats coming around on that one, and most
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: of them are coming around on that one. Stick around
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: Congressman Davidson coming up next.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 4: We put the app in happening.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: It's seven to oh six on a Friday Eve, which
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: means elle get the value of the well words of
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: wisdom and competence as always demonstrated about Congressman Warren Davidson.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Morning show. Congressman Davidson. It's always
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: a pleasure having you on the show.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 11: Definitely an honor to join you.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 4: Thanks Brian.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: All right, I've got a million things we could talk about,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: but I wanted to one of my favorite topics and
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: my listeners know what's coming fraud. I mean, is this
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: not the most potentially bipartisan thing that our politicians can
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: do for us? Go after the fraud, the ripping off
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: of the American hard earned taxpayer dollar. They're in charge
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: of it, they make the programs, they have an It's
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: apparently pretty damn easy to stop fraud in its tracks
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: if you do it the right way. And thankfully jd.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: Vance is running the Fraud Task Force, he announced a
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: few days ago. They've already identified in the few months
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: since this whole thing was started, two one hundred and
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: thirty billion dollars in fraud, and they stopped payments on
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: fifty six billion dollars which would have gone out the
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: door now. He acknowledged that it's difficult to claw back
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: they've fraudulently paid money, but look, you spend a few
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: months time working on it, and this is complicated work,
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: and you find it. And he's urging Congress to codify
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: their actions. He said this effort will fundamentally always have
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: limitations unless our colleagues in the House and Senator working
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: with us. He said, we don't want the next administration
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: to undo all the incredible work we've been doing, he
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: points out. He says Congress can take action to force
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: data sharing between state and Feds in order to crack
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: down on fraud. That seems like a valuable point. There
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: are other things you can do. But my question is
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: Congressman Davidson, first off, do you embrace the idea of
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: codifying measures that'll stop broad waste and abuse? And if
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: you can anticipate opposition, why would anyone oppose it?
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 11: I mean, of course I support what jd Vance is
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 11: calling for. It's common sense. But then there's the crazy Party.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 11: So look at if there's zero partisanship when you want
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 11: to go after people that are scamming seniors, right, so
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 11: if you go after call center fraud people that are
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 11: out there trying to get you know, seniors to go
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 11: to the bank and send a wire to you know,
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 11: Nigeria or right, you know, cross down whatever. Democrats are
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 11: great to work with. We've got a bill that I
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 11: think will introduce in September that is going to boost
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 11: the ability when there are these scams. You know, a
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 11: lot of our state and local prosecutors they can't get
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 11: the time of day from the FBI or you know
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 11: secret service that's supposed to solve crimes, and they'll kick
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 11: in if there's a million dollar theft, but if it's
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 11: twenty five thousand dollars in, five thousand dollars here and
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 11: thirty thousand dollars there, you know, those are you know,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 11: quote small crimes for the FBI. The reality is they're
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 11: real crimes, and a lot of times fence in Financial
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 11: Crimes Network, they're documenting, they're forcing banks to report on
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 11: potential crimes. Right, So we're going to have no partisanship
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 11: saying we're going to go after those kinds of scams.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 11: But look at how mad Democrats are when you want
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 11: to go after scams who are also robbing seniors and
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 11: poor people because they're wrecking medicare, they're wrecking Medicaid, they're
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 11: wrecking the food stamps program. Every kind of scam you
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 11: can imagine is being run, and they're heavily being run
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 11: by sanctuary cities. I mean, this is crazy what's going on.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 11: And we've tried to pass some really common sense reforms,
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 11: and we did in the Big Beautiful Bill. We passed
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 11: some of this stuff already. We tried codifying dose they're
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 11: mad as hornets for the government looking at data that
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 11: the government has to say, well, you know, who's even alive?
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 11: Remember how they were mad. It's you know, like twelve
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 11: million people that were over one hundred and twenty off
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 11: the Social Security Registry. I mean, this is crazy, and
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 11: they're like, oh, well, they're not being paid out social Security.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 11: Not all of them were somewhere, but some of them
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 11: were getting eligibility had like I think I forget the
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 11: number now, but a huge number of people that were
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 11: getting Small Business Administration loans that weren't alive. There were
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 11: like one hundred and twenty plus years old. I mean,
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 11: so one is too many. It's like, how do you
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 11: fail that basic check? And you had, you know, just
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 11: insane numbers out there. So this effort to close off
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 11: the loopholes, to find the fraud and then put the
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 11: people that are committing it in jail, I think is
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 11: a great thing that the Vice President's doing. It's a
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 11: great thing that they added extra staff to do at
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 11: DJ And how could somebody be opposed to it? I
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 11: mean it's mind blowing, but there is.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: A lot of resistance to it, and I don't amazing,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: I don't understand the resistance Congressman Davidson, because I mean,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: these are basically criminal enterprises. Are there so many criminal
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: enterprises out there that they make up a sizable portion
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: of the Democratic base? Are the Democrats getting kickbacks from
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: the criminally and criminal enterprises who are fraudulently stealing American
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars by builking these programs there? I mean, it
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: seems to me there's no.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 11: Political Brian, there's some speculation about that. Look usaid there
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 11: was noney going to all these you know, crooked groups,
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 11: and you look at the the the it's just so
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 11: much irony, you know, the non government organizations, and when
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 11: you look at them, their their only real funding mechanism
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 11: is grants from governments. And so that choke point has happened.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 11: I mean Doge highlighted it. But then the Office of
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 11: Management and Budget, which is really where Doge was managed
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 11: out of, has cut this off. Sexuary Rubio reformed, you know,
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 11: the State Department. But even you know, they were had
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 11: all these career staff that were handing out grants, the
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 11: you know, the faucies of the world and under faucies
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 11: that were handing out money. And then it was flowing
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 11: back to their favored folks and everything else. And now
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 11: somehow some of the cash on left wing causes has
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 11: dried up. There's not as much money for paid protests
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 11: out in the streets. Act Blue, which we've always suspected
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 11: as a money laundering operation that funds Democrat campaigns, is
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 11: drying up in cash. The Congressional Committee for the Democrats
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 11: had to take a loan out on their building to
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 11: get money for this election cycle because they don't have
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 11: the cash they're used to having to. So, yeah, there's
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 11: some suspicion that a lot of this cash that's our
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 11: hard earned tax dollars is being laundered back in to
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 11: Democrat operations. And you know, we've got criminal referrals for
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 11: fraud with Act Blue. Where where they are you go find?
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 11: You know, you know Grandma Smith who says, you know
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 11: they act by according to Act Blue, she's given one
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 11: hundred and fifty thousand dollars to Democratic candidates over the
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 11: past year. She's like, I don't have that kind of money. No,
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 11: I have never given a political campaign donation. Yeah, it
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 11: was like when you've got case after case, where's the prosecution.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 11: This is the kind of thing that we're losing our
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 11: minds on.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and on some level I get the difference between
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: maybe what Dose was doing, which is basically trying to
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: We're gonna stop funding stupid projects. No more fish on treadmills,
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: no more studying you know, transvestite community in China or whatever.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: That's just dumb. Now the next step is, well, the
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: grants that you give out to fund stupid things, did
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: they actually do the work that they were being paid
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: to do or did the money get kicked back. That's
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: the sort of a secondary topic. The Fraud Task Force,
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: I would argue, is a horse of a different color.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: They are out identifying demonstrably fraudulent payments. You know, it
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: was never too it was never intended to go out
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: to that particular human being. They are not eligible. Someone
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: built the system, someone you know, build the federal government
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: and got money that they were not legal entitled to.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: That's like a criminal allegation, not just the wasteful spenditure.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: Maybe not a nefarious money trail going out into the world.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: The fund a quote unquote justifiable expenditure. When the money
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: gets kicked back to the Democrats, we're talking about law breakers,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: and they can find them that.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 11: I mean, all a lot of things are crimes. And look,
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 11: we know and we've had some of this stuff even
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 11: you know, you know, Keith Faber as auditor has highlighted
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 11: some of this stuff. There have been some prosecutions, but
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 11: I think we'll see a lot more prosecutions Medicare and
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 11: Medicaid fraud. You've got local hospital networks that are working
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 11: with DOJ. They're on the line for millions of dollars
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 11: of payments that are turned into them, as you know
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 11: quote Medicaid payments, and they're like, hey, well we want
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 11: to cooperate with the investigation or anything, but in the
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 11: meantime we're out like ten million dollars. So those kinds
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 11: of things go on. There are some prosecutions, but there
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 11: need to be more, and you need to make it
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 11: doarn near impossible to pull off the crime in the
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 11: first place.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: Right now.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 11: It's a lot harder than it should be. And some states,
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 11: why do you need the information sharing? Some states don't
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 11: want to cooperate and don't want to go after the
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 11: crime at all on all these payments because why there's
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 11: federal matching dollars. And this is what we were trying
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 11: to get after with the big beautiful bill. If you
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 11: put in four dollars for Medicare or medicaid, Medicaid is
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 11: a state matching program. Medicare is for seniors, and it's
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 11: a federal program, Medicaid for state states. You put in
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 11: money in the state matches, you know, the state matches.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 5: You get federal dollars.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 11: If you put in four dollars, you get six dollars
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 11: from the federal government. But for Obamacare, you put in
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 11: nine dollars. You put in one dollar at the state level,
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 11: you get nine dollars from the federal level. So there's
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 11: all this cash that comes flowing into states, and the
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 11: incentive is is, well, if I put in one, I
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 11: get nine in my state, and the money gets spent.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 11: And in the sanctuary cities in general, they're pouring cash
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 11: into the city off of some of these programs because
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 11: you get one dollar into essentially a hollowed out urban
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 11: core because no one does anything about crime except foster
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 11: more of it. Everyone that can get out gets out,
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 11: and then the city's going, well, how do we fund
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 11: our budget? Well, how about fraud? How about sanctuary cities?
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: Let's flood it with That's the smoking people that.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 11: We can do this, and this is going on in
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 11: sanctuary cities all over the country, and that's where when
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 11: you look at the nexus for the illegal immigration, this
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 11: is exactly what they're trying to do. They're trying to
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 11: keep the cash flowing into the cities, and they're trying
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 11: to hold on to representation because when you do the census,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 11: you count everybody that's there, not just the citizens. And
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 11: so like California has got like seven extra members of
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 11: Congress because they have illegals, and Okay, Texas probably does too,
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 11: but states like Ohio are losing out. It's not that
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 11: we don't have any illegals, but proportionally we have less.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 11: We probably are losing a congressional ce just because of
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 11: the skewed nature of the census.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: So this is all.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 11: Interconnected to a scheme, and that's why the Democrats know
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 11: it is benefitting them, if not engineered by some of
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 11: the folks, not necessarily everybody, but some folks have engineered
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 11: this and it is heavily benefiting the Democrat party. So
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 11: you're over the target. That's why they won't cooperate on
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 11: investigating the fraud.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: Very clearly stated I knew I could count on you.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: Congressman Warren Davidson, don't call way. We've got lots more
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: to cover before you part company with my listening audience
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: and me. First foreign Exchange, I had an exchange with
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: Austin from Foreign Exchange Westchester location. Of course, that's the
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: one I recommended. Seventy two fifty five kc DE talk
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: station and I B friday E Brian Thomas with Congressman
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: Warren Davidson. I always appreciate his willingness to talk with us,
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: and we're going I just gonna pivot over to the
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: Save Act. I know it's been passed by the House
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: a couple of times. You know, photo ID for voting. Gee,
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: there's a big problem with that. No one seems to
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: have a new Gallop poll Out or Rasmus and poll
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: Out saying that it's overwhelmingly approved across the board, including
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: white voters, black voters, Hispanic voters, and other minority voters
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: all saying, well, the US only US citizen should be
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: allowed to vote. If they can vote in US elections,
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: there must be a problem with the system to stop
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: that from happening. A photo ID seems to be a solution,
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: and most people embrace that. It's like, if you have
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: a grocery store with a thirty percent discount contract, Jocksman Davidson,
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: and you see ahead of time the problem that you
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: might have with people who aren't supposed to be eligible
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: for that coming in and depriving those who are eligible
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: of the thirty percent discount of the ability to buy it.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: You prevent them from doing that by requiring, oh, I
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: don't know, maybe a library card or something which proves
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: they are authorized to shop for the discount grocery stores
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: problem solved. Well, we've got Mickey Cheryl, governor of New Jersey,
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: admitting that she would sign a voter ID law in
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: to play because they found six six hundred non citizens
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: registered to vote there in one calendar year. And the
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: genesis of the problem was the DMV automatically issuing a
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: registering drivers to vote. They've been doing that since twenty eighteen.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: So six six hundred or many are suggesting, like the
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: Trunck administration is probably going to be more like thirty
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: five thousand. This is a real problem. It's in need
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: of a solution. Sounds like we've got one. Congressman Davidson,
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: what in the hell is wrong? With the Senate.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 11: Yeah, common sense versus crazy. I mean, it's mind blowing
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 11: to me. And okay, we just covered why Democrats won't
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 11: cooperate their benefiting from it, if not actually engineering it,
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 11: I mean some Democrats definitely engineered it, not necessarily everyone
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 11: but okay, a handful know it and would potentially be
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 11: willing to do something about it, but not in Congress
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 11: and certainly not in the United States Senate. I think
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 11: we had to join us on the Save Act in
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 11: the House at one point, and you know, no real
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 11: support for it in office, but in the public not
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 11: a partisan issue at all. And when it comes down
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 11: to it, Oh, if minorities and women somehow couldn't produce ID, well,
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 11: why would you create a way where they can't get
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 11: access to the discount of groceries. So the complete narrative
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 11: corap collapse by Mandami the Kami's grocery store there in
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 11: New York. You know, it look complete hypocrisy, but everybody
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 11: already knows that. The question is what are you going
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 11: to do about it? And meanwhile, you have allegedly Republican
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 11: senator's people who put are after their name and campaign
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 11: as Republicans that say they can't vote for the Save
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 11: Act in the United States Senate. So look, the even
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 11: the fake version that the House sent over with the
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 11: directing Social even Builder essentially offer ten billion dollar bribed
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 11: the states to say, you know, hey, if you sign
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 11: up for this, you get some federal dollars. I mean,
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 11: I don't think if all ten billion dollars went to
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 11: California they would take the deal. But so there's problems
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 11: with what they're trying to do. You can't even get
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 11: the Senate to vote on that. I mean, we've been
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 11: trying to get them to do that from the House,
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 11: and I mean, this is this is a very superficial
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 11: version of it, and we can't get it across the
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 11: finish line in the Senate. So I don't understand the place,
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 11: except to say, fifteen of the fifty three Republican senators
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 11: score f on Republican Conservative scorecards.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: I've heard the argument that, well, if we passed it,
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: there's not enough time between now and November to get
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: it into place. Is that the thing they're hanging the
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: Republicans are hanging their hat on just that.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 11: I don't know what. Look, anyone can find an excuse,
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 11: leaders find a way leader Thune hasn't found a way.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 11: I really do believe it's time for him to step aside.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 11: He has not delivered results in the United States Senate.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 11: He's held up all kinds of things that we've done
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 11: in the House. And Okay, if you can't get it
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 11: done in this election, that's disappointing, but you can get
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 11: it done in the next.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: Election effective day you continue to wait.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 11: Exactly, it's a completely vacuous excuse.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: And it makes zero sense. You can easily point to
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: your point on the whole. We want the illegal immigrants
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: to be able to vote if you're a Democrat, because
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: of course they're going to be voting for the Democrat,
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: and I get that. But the Republicans have no argument
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: none to oppose this. So yeah, let's name the fifteen,
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: let's shame the fifteen, and let's get this thing passed,
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: because it seems to me it's a pretty obvious playbook
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: being run here. Congressman Davidson, the Democrats are a firm
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: no on this, along with the help of Republicans, are
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: running the clock out to November when they think they're
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: going to take over. And the whole idea of the
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: Save Act will disappear.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 11: Look, I mean the reality is some Republicans, I think,
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 11: really prefer to be in the minority because it gives
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 11: the illusion of unity within the party. You vote no
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 11: on Democrat plans, and if Republicans come in and introduce
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 11: essentially the same spending plan, then somehow it's magically good.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 11: And this is exasperating to the Republican wing of the
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 11: Republican Party. The people that say I want a smaller,
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 11: more accountable government and mean it and are willing to
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 11: vote that way. We're frustrated, but we're in DC were
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 11: considered the enemy because the big government Republicans in the
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 11: big government Democrats agree that the small government people are
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 11: the real enemy. Right, So the thirty nine point seven
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 11: trillion dollar debt that we have didn't accumulate because one
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 11: party is for more government. It's because both parties conspire
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 11: to deliver more government no matter what the one small
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 11: government party campaigns on. And that's where people are rightly exasperated. Look,
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 11: this endless deficit, massively growing debt results in debased dollars,
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 11: which means your money can't buy as much five dollars
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 11: foot longs are twelve dollars Bran and people out there
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 11: pretending like everything's fine, Like, no, stop bankrupting America. And eventually,
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 11: maybe before we get to the crash site. Maybe not
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 11: until we get to the crash site, people are going
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 11: to have to come to grips with reality is, you
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 11: can't spend more than you earn every stinking year. It's
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 11: going to result disaster.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: One trillion plus dollars annually spent on the interest payment
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: the credit card bill for the borrowing, and that figure
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: grows every year. It dwarfs all the other expenditures of government.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: Am I right, Congressman Davidson.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 11: Well, it doesn't dwarf every expenditure, but it is you know,
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 11: social Security and Medicare are collectively fair enough biggest combo.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 11: It is bigger than defense now, and it is massive
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 11: compared to essentially everything else as a line item. So
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 11: it's clearly not sustainable, and there is no plan to
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 11: turn it off. I mean, at the end of the year,
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 11: we're going to run into the debt limit again. And look,
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 11: the reality is the debt limit's supposed to make you
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 11: check up and say, you know, we should get our
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 11: spending under control. But normally, like if you went to
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 11: a bank and said I need a higher credit limit.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 11: The rational question would be, well, how are you how
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 11: do you plan to pay me back? And here with
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 11: it limit. There is no plan to stop spending more money,
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 11: there's no plan to stop growing the debt. But we're
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 11: going to have to raise a delement because the alternative
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 11: is default, right, That's the only way we can sustain this.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 11: But I do believe that you need to leverage those
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 11: kinds of moments to say no. You do have to say, hey,
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 11: we're going to raise it this much, but over that time,
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 11: we're going to bend the curve so that we don't
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 11: hit it again, or that we run this stretch out
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 11: further than we've ever run it before, so we get
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 11: our spending under control. I mean, you're looking at the
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 11: United States literally intervening to prevent the end from collapsing
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 11: in Japan, because look, there's I think fifty two of
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 11: fifty three countries in recorded history that got a debt
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 11: to GDP ratio, So the total debt of the country
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 11: results is one point three times the size of the economy.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 11: Fifty two of fifty three countries that had that happen
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 11: defaulted on their currency Japan's the only one that hasn't.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 11: They're on the ropes right now, but we're racing towards
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 11: that level with our own spending.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: Who's going to save us?
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 11: Yeah, So we just need to confront reality and it's
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 11: undermining our status as the world's reserve currency. Yes, frankly,
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 11: the thing we got going for us is everybody else
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 11: is doing stupider things. But you know, if we lose
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 11: the status as reserve currency, I mean, it is going
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 11: to be massively consequential for us. I mean, you can't
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 11: keep living like this. And everyone says it, but the
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 11: question is are we going to do it? That's the
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 11: kind of divide you're seeing within the Republican Party, and
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 11: a lot of these people why they're okay with taking
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 11: terrible votes on all kinds of things in the Senate
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 11: is they're comfortable being in the minority because they can
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 11: just pretend that we're united. We're not having in this
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 11: reckoning within our own party, and look, the general election
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 11: isn't the right time to do it. That's what you
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 11: have primaries about, is within the party in the general
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 11: it's like, look, common sense versus crazy.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 5: This is easy.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: Republican Congressman Warren Davidson. A real pleasure having you on.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: Appreciate your common sense, logic and reason. I wish we
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: had more people out there that had your logic and reason.
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: Station seven forty here I fifty have KARCD talk station
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: by Thomas Wishing here won't a very happy Friday Eve
• 1:24:19

• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: Shane Cashman at the top of the air news his author.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: He's the author of a book called Good Villains. Interesting
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: background that Guy Scott. It should be a fun conversation.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: The follow by Jay Ratliff, which is always a fun conversation.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: I heard me the aviation expert Jay Ratliff at eight
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: thirty the meantime. Welcome back to the Morning Show. If
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: you can come on every day for all I'm concerned.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: Lucan for Juvenile Court dot COM's website, Welcome back to
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: the Morning Show, Susan Lucan. We could all sure use
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: Susan Lucan on the bench at Juvenile Court considering where
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: we are right now. It's good to have you back
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: on the show.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 12: Thanks so much, Brian, thanks for having me.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 8: It's great to be back.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: You were appointed as a magistrate to the Assistant Court
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: administ of the Hamilton County Probate Court in twenty twenty three.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: I know you've got decades of service and just an amazing,
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: amazing background and experience. You certainly are capable of being
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: on the bench and currently and certainly worthy of being
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: a juvenile court judge. What's motivating you to want to
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: be on the juvenile court bench judge?
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 7: So you know, I.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 12: Actually was, as as you mentioned, I currently am a
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 12: magistrate with Hamilton County Probate Court and in that role
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 12: I do the mental health stocket and I also do adoptions, and.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 8: I was mental. I was.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 12: I'm sorry. I was a juvenile court judge actually twice
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 12: in the past, all the way back to twenty eleven
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 12: and then as recently as twenty twenty when I worked
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 12: for Judgements of Powers. So I know what juvenile court
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 12: can be like. I know what it was like when
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 12: it was a model court, and then I saw what
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 12: it started to become under the current judge, Carrie Bloom
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 12: and she's now she became the administrative judge in twenty
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 12: twenty three, and I see how it's changed and what
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 12: it's become. And you know, it's really just taken a
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 12: turn in twenty twenty. And we've talked about this before.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 12: You know, the bench really changed with all of these
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 12: really liberal Democratic judges that have come on, and you know,
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 12: so many things have gone on and it's really taken
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 12: a turn for the worst and it's there's so many
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 12: things that need to change and they are really two
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 12: primary goals, and we've got to stop the revolving door
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 12: on juvenile crime. And the second thing, too, is one
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 12: of the things that Judge Winkler and I see. So
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 12: Judge Winkler is my boss. He's the probate judge. You'll
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 12: see him on the ballot is Ralph Winkler, and he
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 12: goes by ted. He does an amazing job as the
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 12: probate judge and he's going to be on the ballot
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 12: this year too, And so one of the things that
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 12: we see and he really sees because he's been on
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 12: the bench for many years, but he's been the probate
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 12: judge since twenty fourteen, so he is a wealth of
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 12: experience and he really sees this because he has that
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 12: knowledge base. But what he's seeing in particular is that
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 12: we're seeing adoptions that are being held up sometimes for
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 12: a six years. And what's interesting is the Children's Services
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 12: Levy is going to be on the ballot this year, okay,
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 12: And cases start off in juvenal court is foster cases, right,
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 12: and those cases are being held up. And this we're
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 12: really seeing a delay since twenty twenty three. We're seeing
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 12: cases that are there for sometimes six years.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: Why for the.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 12: Last three For the last three years, there's been such
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 12: a turnover in juvenile court because people were fired and
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 12: they hired new magistrates. I had an adoption that was
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 12: held up because it was held up in the Court
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 12: of Appeals twice because the magistrate got the law wrong.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 12: And sometimes they're being held up because children are being
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 12: reunified with families that they shouldn't go back to where
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 12: they were abused and neglected. And so, you know, just
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 12: like there's a preference for defendants in criminal cases, there
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 12: seems to be a preference for these families where children
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 12: are being abused and neglected. And so you know, that's
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 12: one of the reasons. You know, we work really hard
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 12: in private court to create these forever families, to create
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 12: safe and stable homes for families, and you know, that's
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 12: one of the reasons why. You know, I want to
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 12: go back to juvenile court to make that better. Same
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 12: thing on the criminal side too. You know, we we've
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 12: got to do better for these young people. And you
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 12: and I have talked about this. You know, if we
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 12: use detention as an intervention, we can maybe stop this
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 12: cycle for these young people who are becoming adult criminals
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 12: and who will spend the rest of their lives in prison.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 12: And you know, we've got to use the right interventions.
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 12: We have to use, you know, the right risk based interventions.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 12: And you know, there's just a real difference between these
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 12: youth offenders who are repeat violent offenders, and you know,
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 12: they're not being handled the way that they should be
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 12: in the juvenile system. The tension isn't being used appropriately,
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 12: they're not being held. You know, Kenkober, our FOP president,
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 12: has talked about this. They had begged the juvenile court, hey,
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 12: just do something about the repeat violent offenders. And you know,
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 12: so those are two of the really big issues that
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 12: I'm saying, is the revolving to Orange Jungle crime and
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 12: something about these these really serious youth offenders. And we're
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 12: seeing this case, you know, this really serious issue developed
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 12: that's developed with these, you know, the foster two adopt cases.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 12: This just delay in cases. I was just in an
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 12: event last night, and you know, the Republican Party is
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 12: really working hard to get the base out because what
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 12: we really need to do is get the base out
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 12: to vote. And I met a man and he was
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 12: talking to me about how frustrated he was because it
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 12: took him four years to get justice for his grandson.
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 12: And I asked them what happened and this was in
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 12: the quurt of common please okay, And I asked what
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 12: the case was about. His grandson had been murdered, and
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 12: I asked who the judge was and he told me
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 12: who it was. And this was a judge who also
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 12: was a juvenile court public defender. Terry Bloom was a
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 12: juvenile court public defender. And I think what we're seeing
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 12: is there's just an ideology, right, there's just sort of
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 12: I think, a way of thinking that there's a favoritism.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 12: You know, I absolutely believe in due process, right, we
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 12: all have to because it protects all of us. But
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 12: there's not a balance in the scales of justice anymore.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 12: And yeah, that's something that we've got to change.
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: Now. Is this a question of individual you know, I'll
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: just always just put a broad brush approach to woke
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: judges who favor the criminals rather than the the the
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: aggrieved or harmed individuals or the society generally speaking, they favor,
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: you know this, the parents who are obviously dangerous in
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: these adoption proceedings. Is this a policy established, like does
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: Kerry Bloom establish a policy that the judges follow or
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: is just simply a question of voting out these these
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: these left leaning mindset progressive if I may, judges, would
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: a change if Carrie Bloom was out of the equation
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: and a more conservative minded, justice minded judge was sitting
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: there in her place, Would that change the dynamic with
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: the other judges and how they treat cases each by
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: on a case by case basis?
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 12: Absolutely?
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, Oh wow, good, Absolutely.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 12: There are So there are two judges in juvenle Court.
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 12: One is a Republican and the other is a very
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 12: liberal Democrat. And that liberal Democrat, because of seniority, she
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 12: is the administrative judge and she sets the policy for
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 12: the court. And that is my opponent. And if we
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 12: prevail in November, and I really believe that we will,
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 12: we can change the policy of that court. And you know,
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 12: we can take that court in a very different direction,
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 12: in a lot of different ways. And it's really important too,
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 12: because juvenile court isn't just a court. It operates the
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 12: detention center, it operates the clerk's office. They are reopening
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 12: Hillcrest after it's stat for three years. You know, she
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 12: promised to reopen it and it's just now reopening. There
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 12: are a lot of issues around that too, and that's
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 12: something that we can talk about another day. But you know,
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 12: as I said, you know, juneral court has an impact
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 12: on a lot of different things, including the amount of time.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 12: If those cases aren't moving, if those if those neglect
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 12: and abuse cases aren't moving, that directly impacts how much
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 12: time children spend it's called in care and foster care.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 12: That impacts the cost of the children's services levee. And
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 12: so we really have to look at things like that
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 12: and hold our public officials accountable. That cost of that
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 12: children's services levee is going to be really expensive. And
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 12: I'm not saying that that isn't something that people should
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 12: or shouldn't do, okay, because we're talking about the most
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 12: vulnerable kids in our society, But those are things that
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 12: we really need to look at.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: I share your concerns. Judge Lucan, Susan Lucan, who's on
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: the program this morning, absolutely demonstrably an outstanding judge and
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: of course certainly a far better option than Carrie Bloom,
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 1: who has demonstrated that she just does not care about
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 1: the criminal justice system or basically the citizens of the county,
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: given her soft on crime reality and certainly setting the
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: stage for juvenile criminals to become adult criminals. And that's
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: what we got to really nip in the bud.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 3: There.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: It starts when you're a juvenile. Either the other component's
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 1: said that these these foster care cases and these these
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: forever home cases are taking so long that child or
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: those children are living in a state of limbo. They
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 1: have to have a sense of awareness that foster is
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: temporary and that sometime down the road a judge's either
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: going to send them back to the horror show that
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: they came from, or they're going to end up with
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: some family that they're going to have to get to
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: know from scratch, so that that can create long term
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 1: problems for that child. I have to imagine exactly.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 12: It creates mental health issues, it creates behavioral issues, all
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 12: of which need to be addressed in the system, and
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 12: that gets very expensive from a mental health standpoint, and
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 12: you know, that increased cost of care that's so detrimental
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 12: to these children. And we have had so many complaints
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 12: in probate court from foster families like what is going on?
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 12: What can be done? And yeah, so it's just so
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 12: there are just so many different issues and so many
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 12: different problems that are going on right now in juvenile court.
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 12: There's so much attention on the delinquency side, you know,
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 12: and on the youth of thunder side, because it's a
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 12: really serious problem, right and you know, but the problem
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 12: is really mut you know, it's a multi dimensional and
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 12: so when you ask why am I doing this? I
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 12: see different perspectives and and the there's so many different
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 12: reasons why it's so important that we make a change there.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 12: And there are so many things that I want to
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 12: do to bring back and take it back to the
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 12: court that it once was, and it really was. Judge
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 12: Litz is a wonderful judge. He's been to some of
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 12: my events, and he and judges like Judge Carla Grady
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 12: and Judge Powers were there. You know, they did so
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 12: much and We're so passionate about that court, and it
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 12: touches children's lives and family's lives in such a way.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 12: You know, it's tragic when you have to go there,
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 12: but it is so important the work that it does.
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 12: And you know, this really is an important race. And
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 12: I appreciate your listeners paying attention to this, and I
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 12: appreciate their support, and I just encourage them to go
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 12: to the website take a look, and I really thank
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 12: them for thinking about this.
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 1: And I'll concourage them to click the donate button too
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: if they're so inclined, or at least get a yard sign.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 12: It's yeah, get a yard volunteer. I mean, we can
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 12: use help.
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: Any kind of help, any form, a little bit, a
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: lot of help. And absolutely tripling down on that one

  Speaker 1: you know, and he also has done some investigations. Welcome
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 1: to the program, Shan, It's great to have you on
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: to talk about your book.
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Brian. Thanks for having me.
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: You have rubbed shoulders and elbows and talked with a
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: lot of famous people. And the one thing I've always
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 1: observed personally about fame. Now I am on radio, and
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: I have been on radio coming up on twenty years
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: previously a litigation attorney and practice law for sixteen. The
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 1: only reason I am sitting behind a microphone right now
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: is because my father retired coming up on twenty years ago.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: He was on radio for about forty six years. So
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 1: I grew up in an environment where here locally he
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: was on radio and television for again forty six almost
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: fifty years. Everybody knew my dad. I was Jerry's kid.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: I was, and Brian now they're Jerry's kid, you know, Hey, Jerry,
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: you go to the supermarket.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 4: Hey Jerry.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 1: I listened to you every day, so I knew what
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: it was like to grow up in an environment where
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: your dad was famous or was known by a lot
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: of people. And so when I was offered the opportunity
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: to sit here Shane, I the primary reason I almost
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: didn't take the job was that losing your anonymity sucks.
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, do you do your celebrity guest the people
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: you interviewed, Alice Jones, Kerry Lake, riff Raff over the
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: hell that is? Do they lament sometimes or do they
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 1: have a reality? Does reality set in some point like,
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: oh my god, I literally can't go anywhere without being
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: mobbed by people saying something or one in my autograph.
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it probably depends on the circumstances at the time
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 2: and why they're making the headlines. When I was with Kanye,
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 2: he decided to wear a mask all the time outside.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 2: I don't think it was just an aesthetic thing. I
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 2: think he was trying to like be anonymous again. It
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 2: also made him look like, you know, a Batman villain.
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 2: But there's so many pros and cons to having that
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 2: level of notoriety that you know, I kind of walked
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 2: away from that book and a lot of these people
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 2: being like famous sort of in a way, that level
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: of fame is a disease, you know, it really affects
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 2: them with all the positives that come with it. They
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: had a lot of issues personally and.
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: Publicly, malignant narcissism maybe yeah, yeah, it's really bad.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 2: And people get addicted to it as well, so even
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 2: if it starts to go away, they might do things
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 2: to you know, hold on to whatever fame is left.
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 2: And that always leads to some issues as well well.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: And there in lies the challenge. You know, fame can
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: be fleeting. You don't have to learn how you live
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: your life without it, so you shouldn't try to, you know,
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: thrive on it. I just rejected out a hand, and
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: you what else bothers me about this is the problems
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 1: that go along with fame are from the general population
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: who thinks they feel like they know you and ergo,
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 1: they can just start hanging out with you, regardless of
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: what public space you happen to be in. It's that
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: whole line from Neil Peart from Rush, I can't pretend
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: a stranger is a long awaited friend. I mean that
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 1: was kind of his mentality. I love the fact that
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: people want to talk to me, but you know, I
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: don't know you. I mean.
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 2: I know you. Yeah, And when you have your kids
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 2: with you and it's it's really weird, and you know,
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 2: it gives them the ability, like some of these guys
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 2: I talked to in the book, to voice some opinions
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 2: that might not be you know, in vogue at the time,
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 2: but they seem important to say. So they have like
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 2: this loud dis like megaphone to use. But at the
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 2: same time, throughout their kids, you know, and they're getting accosted,
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 2: They're maybe being yelled at by some people, or just
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 2: followed by admirers, or they got TMZ, so so many
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 2: different angles of like issues with that.
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: Right, they do something online to get them clicks because
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: that's what they thrive on, and then realize that, oh
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: my god, I can't believe I said that online. They
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: either have to backpedal it or suffer the slings and
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: errors of outrage from the general public for having said
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: it in the first place. And let me pivot over,
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: and I hope this doesn't sound off topic for your book,
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: Good Villains. We're going to dive into just a second
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 1: here the the the politicians, which you also have a comment.
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: It was in my note section why the mid terms
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: mean nothing, and maybe we can you can elaborate on
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 1: that comment. But politicians are dropping regularly, including our president,
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 1: and we had this happen the other day, Bernie Marina,
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: what is with the use of the F bombs all
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: the time? You think the maintain a sense of decorum.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: The President of the United States should not be one
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: throwing F bombs all around. Is that just really to
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: generate clicks, to get more people looking at what's being said.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 2: I think so. I think they're trying to ingratiate themselves.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 2: I think they think that by cursing, it'll make them
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 2: be endearing to like the common man. But I think
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 2: it's fake. And I'm old enough to remember when a
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 2: white suit was upsetting the people, you know, on a president,
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 2: and now we're dropping F bombs all the time.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 5: I don't like it.
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 2: I try out to curse, you know, and I don't
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 2: want my kids to curse. And I think it's just
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 2: kind of it seems like a desperate move on these
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 2: politicians to be doing that, and I think it's just
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 2: desperation all around.
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 1: Fair enough, and I share your opinion on that, all right,
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 1: Why the midterms mean nothing? That's one of the talking
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 1: points rather the questions or inquiry points I have with
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: the Shade, and can you elaborate on that.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 2: I think I think the general public is tapped out
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 2: of politics. I think we've been trapped in a revolving
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 2: door of twenty four to seven politics since about twenty fifteen,
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 2: and COVID didn't help. All these things happen, these really
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 2: like hot button issues, and now we're on this, you know, year,
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 2: two years into Trump two point zero, and I think
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 2: a lot of people left and right are just not
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 2: happy with either side of the political aisle and they
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 2: feel left out. They feel like they've been sold out.
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 2: And I live in a really awesome area of West Virginia.
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 2: I love West Virginia from New York originally, and I
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 2: had this cross section of people who are you know,
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 2: they left other states to come here for freedom, or
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 2: they commute to DC to work, and you know, all
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 2: all types of political backgrounds, and just from anecdotally speaking,
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 2: a lot of these people are like, I don't even
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 2: care to vote anymore. It doesn't matter, like no matter
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 2: who you vote for the So I don't want to
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 2: say they're black pill. People say black pill. They're upset,
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 2: they're depressed over they're not even it's not even that,
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 2: they're just like, I'm going to find value in life
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 2: elsewhere because I can focus locally, you know, I can
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 2: focus on the politicians who are local to me, and
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 2: we can make change in our community. But like a
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 2: lot of people turn a lot of presidents left and
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 2: right into a golden calf, and that's an issue, and
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 2: then they realize, you know, at the end of the day,
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 2: they're really not helping you. Unfortunately, that people, some of
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 2: the worst people, in my opinion, in the country are
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 2: getting rewarded the most from all sides. Now, yeah, but
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 2: I think the midterms are interesting, but I don't think
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 2: they're going to be as important to people move forward.
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 1: The gridlock that we're facing, the frustration, and I share
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 1: your assessment of the general public and the frustration with
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 1: our elected officials because you know, nothing important gets done,
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 1: the problems aren't solid. Things just get worse and we
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 1: go further into debt. What do you think the world
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 1: And a lot of this is I think exclusively generated
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 1: by the Trump arrangement syndrome, evil orange man. It's the
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: subject matter a politician can't say a word Democrats mostly
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 1: without uttering the name Donald Trump in there. What's the
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: post TDS world gonna look like if you could assess
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: that Shane Cashman, oh man.
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 2: It's going to be interesting because because he was such
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 2: an integral figure to the last ten years. I mean
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 2: obviously before that, but politically speaking, he was the center
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 2: of the world politically speaking, and without him, there's just
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 2: doesn't seem to be anyone to step in to that void.
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 2: He's gonna leave when he's gone, whether you like him
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 2: or not. You know, he's just a giant figure. I
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 2: see him as like a kind of like a Teddy
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 2: Roosevelt figure. I'm from New York. He's from New York,
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 2: you know, I understand these old, big, you know, characters
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 2: from New York. And when he's gone, I don't I
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 2: just don't see like Advance or Rubio commanding that sort
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 2: of presence, negative or positive. So I think both parties
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 2: are going to be really struggling to have that person
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 2: to fill that gap, and there'll be a continuing fracturing
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 2: on both sides politically, Like the Left will have all
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 2: the different people they think they should promote, whether it's
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 2: more of a centrist leftist or someone who's pretending to
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 2: be a centrist left leading, and then the right between
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 2: Rubio and Vance and whoever else they do, you know,
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 2: and whatever else is going on with people like Massis.
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 2: So I think it's just going to be avoid you know,
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 2: post Trump, and people are going to try to either
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 2: be like Trump, which doesn't really work well for people,
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 2: or something completely different.
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: Right, But I don't and I think the Democrats will
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 1: do their darnness to try to create a new Donald
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: Trump out of whoever emerges as the viable presidential candidate,
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: although I do not believe they would be even remotely
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: successful along those lines.
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, it'll be Gavin Newsom for them. I
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 2: think they're going to try to make Gavin Newsom their guy.
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 1: Well, thank god, we've got a record to look at his.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: Good luck on that one too, Shane. I will interject now,
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: pivoting over your book Good Villains, My Journey to the
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 1: front Line's Fame, Controversy and the War on Reality. One
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: of the things you had talked about is catching pedophiles
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: here in Ohio. Now we have a particular disdain for
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: pedophiles here in the fifty five krs in Morning show.
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: So how did you manage to get involved in that topic? Yeah?
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 2: I love Ohio. There's two big chapters in the book
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 2: about Ohio, and the one is unfortunately, this super disturbing
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 2: story about catching pedophiles.
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 4: So I met.
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 2: I linked up this guy named Rosen. He has a
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 2: company called Predator Poachers, and I picked him because there's
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 2: a lot of people who do this thing where they
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 2: kind of have sting operations. They're civilians and they get
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 2: the police involved. But he didn't like beat them up.
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 2: I understand that, Urge I really these are demons, right,
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 2: but he does their best. He does his best to
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 2: make them admit to everything. They confess. It's all on footage,
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 2: and the cops come and they're arrested and then they
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 2: get put away. A lot of these guys have been
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 2: put in for a long time. So I linked up
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 2: with Alex. He said, I'll be in Ohio, that's not
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 2: too far from me. I drove out there. I'm gonna
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 2: spend a weekend and he has this crazy operation where
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 2: he has like a twenty five year old young woman
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 2: who is she is short, and she pretends to be
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 2: she's a decoy, and these men meet her and it's
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 2: all types of men, you know, and they think they're
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 2: meeting an eleven or twelve year old. It's very It's
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 2: the most disturbing story I've ever written.
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 13: It really was.
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 2: It's extremely upsetting. But I really want people to know
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 2: that this is prevalent. It's unfortunate, but this is an
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 2: evil that exists. Especially parents need to know this. These
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 2: people are using everything from Facebook or roadblocks to try
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 2: to talk to your children, and you have to be
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 2: on top of this. You have to watch who they're
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 2: talking to, know where they're going. I know people know this,
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 2: but I just can't help. You have to like really
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 2: keep this unfortunately in front of your mind because it's
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 2: so prevalent that just in Ohio, just in those two
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 2: or three days we were in Ohio, we could have
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 2: not slept and just kept doing it like we kept.
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 2: I think there was like six or seven guys we
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 2: caught in those two days, but there were others right
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 2: that maybe weren't home and when we knocked on their door,
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 2: because that's what we do, just knock on the door,
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 2: they're expecting something else and here they come and it's
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 2: and it's people. It's people from all across the spectrum.
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 2: It's business owners, it's teachers. We had a guy who
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 2: was a fireman like that is what's so scary about it.
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 2: It is is anybody, and they're unfortunately. We know, I
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 2: don't want to freak people out, but I think you know,
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 2: if you if you watch this news and you see
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 2: how much it happens, it's extremely sad how vulnerable a
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 2: lot of these kids are. And they do prey upon
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 2: kids who are iciclated and honoring all the time. So
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 2: you know, and Alex does this pretty much every day
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 2: across the country.
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 1: Yes, and how are these perverts, these pedophiles, these these
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 1: just deranged, satanic individuals getting to our children. It's obviously
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 1: through social media. Happens all the time. We have a
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 1: media expert on our a tech expert on every Friday.
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 1: We talk about this. Your children are connected to the world.
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 1: And that's the thing I want to pivot over to
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 1: in terms of media narratives, cancel culture and you know,
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 1: making of modern villains, which you discuss in Good Villains,
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 1: your book. The ability of social media to create and
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 1: the impression that unhinged, completely illogical, unreasonable, and often quite
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 1: stupid conclusions. For example, a guy can say he's a
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 1: woman and that makes him a woman online and among
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 1: some of our political class that is perceived to be
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 1: logical and reasonable. No, no, they're a woman now, and
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 1: everybody else seems to be in the same world, the
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 1: non unhinged world goes, how is that possible? It's a chromosomal, medical,
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 1: or rather physical reality. It's the biology x and x,
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 1: x and y that determines men and women, not what
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 1: someone says. But online it sounds like and it feels
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 1: like the overwhelming you know, majority in the world thinks
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 1: along that crazy, unhinge line. That isn't true. Is it
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 1: social media created that false narrative?
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so social media has its own drug. And even
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 2: if the majority of people don't agree with that nonscience,
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 2: anti nature, you know point of view, the people who
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 2: do have these mental illnesses, all different kinds, they can
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 2: go on the Internet and confirm whatever belief they have,
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 2: even if it's completely absurd. And so the Internet has
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 2: become like this reality buffet. Anything you want is there?
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 2: You do enough digging, you want to go that far
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 2: you'll find the thing you need to confirm your bias,
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 2: and then you will feel like I am rewarded. Now
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 2: I can be this, this is me. And that's what
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 2: happens in that deep isolation. You become more press you're
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 2: severed from the world, and you're becoming more and more
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 2: mutated into this weird monster thing.
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 1: And that, of course can be manipulated by outside nefarious forces.
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, we've got all kinds of evidence documented the
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party, for example, trying to steer the narrative
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 1: on artificial intelligence data centers. Why because they want to dominated.
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 1: They want all the Americans to stand up and say,
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 1: hell no, environmental disaster, noise, it's terrible power problems. And
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 1: in fact, most of these problems actually can be or
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 1: have already been solved. But that wouldn't be good for
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 1: the CCP. Welcome to the Internet, connecting them to all
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 1: of America.
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 2: Well, we're in a new space race, you know. And
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 2: I think the CCP has a lot of propaganda pumps
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 2: in every country, is trying to propagandize us, and we're
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 2: doing it to them as well. And I know there's
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 2: organic people in the world who are against these data centers,
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 2: and that's fine, we can talk about it. The CCP
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 2: has their own war against us because they want to
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 2: win this new space race. And you know that's why
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 2: just yesterday they're all talking about new ways of doing
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 2: data centers. They want to send data center into space.
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 2: You know, that's what Elon is just now talking about
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 2: with the Nvidio self assembling data centers, maybe even on
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 2: the moon. So you know, they're they're trying to put
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 2: them off the farms and into space so they can
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 2: orbit us.
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 1: It's it's an amazing where we live in it. But
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 1: then again, if you look at all of the points
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 1: of division in this country, whether it's a product of
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 1: Trump arrangement, syndrome, or something else. You mentioned that echo chamber.
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 1: We all feel comfortable in an environment where nobody's arguing
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 1: with us. Do you think there's some outside, perhaps nefarious
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 1: component to that division. Pick a topic where divided on
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 1: it that gets that division gets fed within the within
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 1: the realm of the internet, such so much so that
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 1: we can't even unite under the American flag anymore. It's
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 1: just as a symbol of freedom. Yeah.
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I knew someone in New York who was pretty
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 2: far left, and they would confuse the American flag with
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 2: the Confederate flag, right, they almost in their mind it
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 2: was the same thing. And that you know, that was
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 2: during that was twenty twenty, during the riots, during lockdowns,
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 2: and you saw that division accelerate, and that's I think
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 2: that is by design. Yes, I do whatever they could
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 2: do to make us, because if you happen to, you know, say,
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 2: be critical something on the right, the people the people
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 2: on the right who will say just because you're critical
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 2: of one thing, now you're a leftist, and it's made
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 2: it so you can't have any disagreement of anybody. And
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 2: I don't like to either, because I don't think any
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 2: party should be a monolith. The left is very good
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 2: at being a monolist.
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 1: That's that's a good thing to be one.
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 2: But you know, I believe in the individual, and I
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 2: believe in freedom, and I believe in freedom of expression,
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 2: and I think we need to get back to this
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 2: place where we can have these arguments. And I do
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 2: see them happening here and there, whether it's in a
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 2: community or on some shows. But you know, by and large,
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 2: a lot of people are saying, we can't even talk
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 2: to these people they've become our political enemies. And if
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 2: we even talk, would we extended and all of branch.
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 2: We are going to be a bad guy. But we've
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 2: got to find a way past that with our all
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 2: of our disagreements, and there's a lot of really good
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 2: disagreements because there's some crazy ideas out there. We got
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 2: to move forward, because I mean, the economy is so bad,
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 2: there's so much going on. We've got to work together somehow.
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 1: My guess Day, Shane Cashman offer of good Villains, my
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 1: journey to the front lines of fame, controversy and the
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 1: War on Reality just scratched the surface of the topics
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 1: in the book. See the Talk station eight thirty on
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 1: a Thursday. One thing's for sure, and I'm happy about it.
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 1: It's time right Heart Mediamation expert Jay Ratliffe joined the
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 1: program to talk about some actually some really fun topics
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 1: this morning. Jay, welcome back to the program. You don't
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 1: know this, but I saw you yesterday.
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 13: Did you really satellite over Savannah?
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 4: I told Jerry about.
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 1: Stefan Montgomery Road. What were you doing there?
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 1: It was your billboard, It was your day trade fund billboard.
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 4: Probably hanging out if you were.
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 1: Hanging out anyway. I got a big kick out of it. Anyway,
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: Moving away from stock trading over to seventy thousand ecstasy pills,
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 1: Jay Ratliffe, Yeah.
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 13: It was a Middle Asia Airlines pilot. He was arrested
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 13: after Indonesian customs officials found Oh to be exact, I
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 13: think it was seventy thousand and one and fourteen ecstasy
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 13: pills in his bag and did the urine pastry came
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 13: off the flight to find out, Hey, this guy is
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 13: under the influence of cocaine. So not only was he
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 13: carrying drugs, oh wow, he was flying under the influence
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 13: of cocaine thirty nineteen year old.
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 4: But I again from Malaysi Airlines.
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 13: So the good news here is it was not a
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 13: US carrier. The good news even better, they caught the
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 13: guy so that he can't be a risk to anyone else.
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 4: But good facious.
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 13: I mean that, I guess you'd have to be high
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 13: to think that you could try to sneak on seventy
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 13: and fourteen pills of drugs.
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 4: In your bag.
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 1: Well, it gives me some comfort anyway that he got busted.
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 1: So there's that. But the question mark always is swirling
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 1: around you know they catched you know, they found three
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: tons of cocaine coming over the border. How many tons
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 1: got through that they didn't find. There's the component we
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 1: all want to know.
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 4: About exactly it.
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 13: And that's why with security with crew members and people
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 13: that work at airports and everything else, it needs to
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 13: be as high as we can make it. And sadly
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 13: that it still remains one of the softer parts of
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 13: security when it comes to aviation around the world, and
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 13: you know, hopefully stories like this allow us to kind
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 13: of tighten it just a bit bit to make make
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 13: sure the random screening of some of these fule becomes
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 13: every single time it's your airport type of thing.
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 1: Fair enough now for you jump over the other topic.
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 1: I just want to let my listening audience know, yes,
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 1: we are aware Joe as where I'm aware, maybe Jay
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 1: isn't because you can't hear it. I don't know the
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 1: popping noise, the interference with the fun that's our phone system.
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much. We've got a lot of requests
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 1: to get the problem solved, so it's a long term solution,
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 1: of course it is. Anyway, we were aware of it.
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 1: I apologize for it occasionally. Sometimes the words get so
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 1: garbage you can't even hear them. So I am just
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 1: trying to nip the inevitable emails and text messages and
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 1: everything else we hear about when the phone starts popping
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 1: like that. So sorry to interject that, Jay, but I
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 1: felt it was necessary.
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 13: I thought it might be me. I was standing on
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 13: one leg leaning hoping that that would help.
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 4: But obviously you can stop that.
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 1: You can and here all along until I found out
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 1: that it was the phone system. I thought it was
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 1: my headset doing it. Every time it happened, I would
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 1: be adjusting the little mic jack, thinking that was going
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 1: to solve the problem. Anyway, there's your answer. I want
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 1: to jump ahead because I am wildly curious about the
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 1: last topic on your topic list, passengers bringing personal hammocks
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 1: through security. What is this something I missed out on.
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 13: It's a thing now. I mean, you can google it
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 13: limage as far as airport hammocks, and you will find
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 13: passengers that are traveling with their carry on luggage a hammock,
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 13: so that if they're delayed at any any step along
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 13: the way, they can, you know, just like they're between
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 13: two trees in the woods, you know, string up this
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 13: canvas hammock and just lay down and take an app
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 13: But gone are the days you kind of grab a
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 13: sleeping bag and you slide over in the corner against
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 13: the wall trying to grab some z's because we know
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 13: you can't sleep in the chairs at airports because of
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 13: how all the arms prevent us from laying across. True,
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 13: and they're just and they're designed for that obviously. But
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 13: the point here is that, yeah, this is becoming more
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 13: and more prevalent, and airlines can't really do much. TSA
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 13: can't back. TSA was asked this week are you going
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 13: allow these through the security checkpoint? And they would say, well,
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 13: it's not a security issue, so yeah, obviously we're going
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 13: to allow them through. So I suspect it's going to
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 13: be airports that are going to have to step in
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 13: and say wait a.
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 4: Minute, you can carry them.
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 13: You start stringing these things up between two pillars at
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 13: twenty feet across, and that creates, you know, problems for
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 13: people that are I don't walking through the terminal area
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 13: or the gate area. That's going to become an issue
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 13: because you have twenty thirty day that are up there.
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 13: I mean, it's going to be a problem for a
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 13: lot of people that are trying to move. And that's
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 13: one of the things that we're looking at right now
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 13: is the airports are probably going to have to weigh
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 13: in on this because apparently these are like way easy
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 13: to carry a sturdy and if you've got you know,
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 13: three four five hours you're coming off of an international
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 13: flight where you've got an extended period of time at
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 13: an airport, or you're just facing a bunch of delays
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 13: in a day when you're exhausted. Yeah, now you can
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 13: just bring your own hammock and throw it up and
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 13: just take a nice nap in the airport.
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 1: That is okay. Yeah, I can certainly see they're becoming
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 1: a problem part. Yeah it's nice. It's a nice, comfort
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 1: controlled environment usually in an airport HVAC and know, NICs
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 1: and cool in the summertime, warm in the winter. I
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 1: can see someone maybe take advantage of the ability to
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 1: now comfortably sleep in an airport and maybe set up
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: shop there as a permanent residence. Just the thought homeless problem.
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 13: Some airports to have a homeless situation, Yeah, homeless where
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 13: people come in so when and now you haven't they're
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 13: not even applying. They'll bring these things and just you know, I.
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 1: Can of camp out there, all right. So anyhow we're
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 1: gonna die. We got another problem going on. It's close calls.
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 1: We have yet another one that Jay's gonna let us
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 1: know about. U plus, will you be dealing with humanoid robots?
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 1: Maybe not? Maybe more with Jay Ratliff, I heard any
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 1: aviation expert don't go away fifty five the talk station.
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 2: Listen, have you ever been in a cockpit before?
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 1: Jay Ratliffe had?
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 2: I art Media Aviation next.
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 1: For Jay Ratliff every Thursday for a few segments. Get
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 1: anything over to Washington Reagan International Airport. Jay Ratlift got
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 1: another close call. This one a little bit different than
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 1: the other. One's kind of an important close call.
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 13: Yeah, kind of a big time issue here because it
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 13: involved Marine one. You had the President flying from the
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 13: White House to Air Force to the aircraft is the
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 13: air Force one? And then the typical protocol is before
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 13: they leave the White House, they'll get a hold of
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 13: Washington Reagan Airport and give them a three minute We're
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 13: going to be wheels up in three minutes. That's the
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 13: advanced notice. They know to clear the airspace, stop aircraft
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 13: from taking off and landing, and that gives them ample notice. Also,
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 13: from a security standpoint, you want to make sure you
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 13: don't give too much notice. The three minutes seems to
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 13: be it, so Marine one very clearly as you listen
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 13: to air traffic control tapes, it did in fact give
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 13: not only one, but multiple indications of their departure. They're
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 13: coming across the sky and all of a sudden, the
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 13: air traffic control tower says, hey, what happened to our
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 13: three minute notice? They said, we provided that. So there
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 13: was a regional jet that was allowed to take off,
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 13: and it did at the time, I believe there was
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 13: one and a half miles horizontal separation five hundred feet
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 13: vertical separation. There was no close call here other than
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 13: it was closer than the FAA mandates. Plus those parameters
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 13: are in place for two commercial aircraft. When it comes
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 13: to Air Force one, you have a much bigger no
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 13: fly zone that is in place, and no aircraft should
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 13: have been allowed to take off or land. So the
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 13: NTSB and the National Transportation Safety Board are going to
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 13: be investigating this to see what happens. Then, you know
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 13: the couple of things that immediately came to mind when
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 13: the report surface was you know.
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 4: Here we go again.
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 13: We've got to do what we can to really kind
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 13: of tighten things up at this airport because we're talking
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 13: about this too much. And then Brian I wondered how
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 13: many people were going to lose a job today because
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 13: they went on social media to make some comment about
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 13: wishing things had gone differently with that.
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's going to happen, it will. There's anyhow I
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 1: don't send me down that road. Jay Rattliffe, Annie, this
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 1: is the same airport where they're plane collide with a
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 1: military helicopter, right, yes.
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 13: And it's also the same airport where they've not really
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 13: restricted things as they need to, which is driving the
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 13: head of the National Transportation Safety Board absolutely out of
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 13: her mind. She has indicated that we had that situation
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 13: where we had the military helicopter in the American Airlines
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 13: regional jet collide, we had a loss of life. We
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 13: knew that this was a problem because it had been
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 13: happening hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of times in a
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 13: short period of time where aircraft were being forced to
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 13: aboard either take off or landing because of the helicopters
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 13: that were crossing the river there or along the river
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 13: crossing an active runway, and.
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 4: I mean we were on borrowed time.
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 13: Nobody did anything about it. You have a loss of life,
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 13: and now we're really not talking about doing all we
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 13: need to do. And the NTSB chairs said, look, we
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 13: don't want to have to investigate these again. These changes
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 13: have to be put in place if we're serious about
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 13: safety being our number one priority, which is a great
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 13: talking point, and they always say that, and I always
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 13: laugh and get sick at the same time when they do,
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 13: because it's not and when you've got these politicians and
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 13: all these other people that want to feel super important
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 13: and being commanding individuals that they fly across there so
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 13: they're not delayed. Yes, it puts people at risk, but
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 13: please don't bother me with those details.
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 4: It just drives me crazy.
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 13: So, you know, is it going to take a second
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 13: accident a third At what point in time does the
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 13: loss of life to dictate a change in protocol because
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 13: obviously right now it's not enough.
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 1: Obviously, Well, it sounds like they may be at thinking
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 1: in advance, getting ahead of potential problems they've identified. I
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 1: don't really I didn't realize there were humanoid robots robots
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 1: out in the world that were capable of doing all
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 1: kinds of things. We can. But anyway, from what I understand,
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 1: nearly every airline has banned humanoid robots. Is this as
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 1: passengers or as employees?
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 4: Well, on the passenger side, and we'll talk about both.
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 4: On the passenger side.
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 13: We had a Southwest Airlines flight where there was a
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 13: man flying. He was actually returning from a Las Vegas
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 13: technology convention where he was traveling with this not if
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 13: I put a tall robot.
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 4: This humanoid and on the way back.
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 13: The Southwest agent said, hey, wait a minute, what.
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 4: Powers this thing?
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 13: And they said, oh, a very nice powerful lithium battery.
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 13: And they're like, ooh, time out here. Those are the
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 13: things that we really are weary of on cell phones laptops.
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 13: This thing is a much bigger one. And the guy said, okay, well,
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 13: once it's seated, I'll just detach the lithium battery. And
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 13: Southwest said, no, we need some direction from corporate. So
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 13: they did not allow the individuals, the individuals the man
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 13: in his robot to make their return, and what ended
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 13: up happening was Southwest later came out and said, look,
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 13: we're concerned about this from the listium battery standpoint, so
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 13: we are going to not allow for the time being
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 13: these humanoid robots to fly as passengers aboard our planes.
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 13: Were having Delta, United and others that have come out
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 13: echoing that same policy. And I think it was Fortune
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 13: magazine last summer that had an article that was quite
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 13: telling and saying, in ten years, we're going to have
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 13: fifteen million of these human robots walking among us. So
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 13: it's going to become more and more prevalent, and airlines
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 13: are trying to get ahead of it. I'm certainly glad
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 13: they did. You would think the FAA might have done
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 13: something along those lines, but they're not, so thankfully the
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 13: airlines are now.
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 4: We do have in Japan.
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 13: Japan Airlines is under a two year program right now,
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 13: test program where they have these humanoid robots loading airplanes.
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 13: They've got a shortage of personnel there and they said, hey,
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 13: we'll look to see if these robots can do repetitive
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 13: tasks to alleviate some of the shortage that we have
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 13: from a personnel standpoint, that seems to be going well.
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 13: And I can tell you every airline on the planet
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 13: brand is watching this to see how it goes if
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 13: they can, you know, and of course all the airline
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 13: ages are gonna get excited. Hey, you know we're gonna
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 13: get some help. We're gonna get some help.
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 4: No, you're gonna get replaced, replaced.
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 13: What's gonna happen is they get enough of these bad boys.
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 4: They don't tend to call in sick.
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 1: No four oh one k to fund, Jay, No four
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 1: to one, no health insurance premiums to pay.
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 1: You can go on and on and on. Every human
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 1: failure that we can identify, problem solve with a humanoid
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 1: robot will bring Jay rat left to talk about. I'm
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 1: wondering in whose benefit will American Airlines refund policy benefit.
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 1: Plus the FAA actually did something. Speaking of the FAA,
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 1: Jay just mentioned that we'll find out about that as well.
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 1: And if it's a good day to travel more a
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 1: fifty five KARSD talk station and that e Friday Eve
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 1: I heard media expert Jay Ratliffe on the phone. We
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 1: got some little while if you a couple more topics
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 1: that cover this morning, Jay and I certainly enjoyed discussing
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 1: these topics with you every week. Let me guess the
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 1: new refund policy benefits American airlines more than the customer.
• 2:05:13
  Speaker 1: I'm just going out at a lemon suggesting that I
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 1: have no idea what the policy change is, but that
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 1: seems to be the direction they go. So what's the
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 1: story on this one?
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 13: It is it act well, but it's a minor and
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 13: we can live with this one because before with American,
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 13: we could make our reservation, we head up to forty
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 13: eight hours to cancel it if we didn't want it.
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 13: Now they have moved that forty eight hours back to
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 13: twenty four, which is comparable to pretty much every other
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 13: airline in the country. So what they're doing is it's
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 13: a little bit more consistent with what of the carriers are,
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 13: but the whole. But the bottom line is that if
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 13: you make a reservation on American, as long as it's
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 13: not within the week of the travel, you've got twenty
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 13: four hours to cancel it if you don't want it
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 13: or you know, something comes up, and that's okay.
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 4: Yes, it's going to.
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 13: Benefit American airlines where you know, slightly from a revenue standpoint,
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 13: but they're not doing something, you know, crazy out of
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 13: the box like our friends in Europe with Jetstar, as
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 13: they're going to start charging for overhead storage compartment use. Yeah,
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 13: wait for that for an airline coming to us here
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 13: in the States. Because they can figure out how to
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 13: police it. You better believe they're going to do just that.
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 1: No doubt about that. Now he's comment about the FAA,
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 1: and of course foot dragging is kind of common there,
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 1: but they actually did do something certified the Boeing seven
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 1: thirty seven seven Max.
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the seventh series.
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 13: It's going to allow Boeing to finally continue to deliver,
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 13: produce these aircraft and get them out, especially early next year,
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 13: and the airline is going to benefit. I think the
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 13: most from this is going to be Southwest because Southwest
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 13: either has or has orders in for three hundred of
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 13: these aircraft. They're very fuel efficient, very customer friendly. Of Course,
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 13: the Boeing Max issues we've talked about.
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 4: Though those issues in the past.
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 13: Yes, that have happened, and the FAA has done I
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 13: think a pretty good job of making sure that Boeing
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 13: is doing everything they're supposed to. There's still an element
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 13: on some of the Boeing produced airplanes that the FAA
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 13: is going to again allow Boeing to do self certification. Yes, kids,
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 13: grade your own homework will show you be honest and
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 13: hopefully that's hopefully that's not going to be a mistake again,
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 13: because that got us into trouble before. But you know,
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 13: I'm just hopeful that Boeing does what Boeing has done
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 13: in the past, and that is be the the the
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 13: leader in safety.
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 4: That's been for decades. That hasn't been the case of late.
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 13: And I'll know in four or five, six years, we'll
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 13: all see if their promises are actually genuine this time,
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 13: because we believed years ago, six years ago and they
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 13: lied to us and hopefully now actually mean it.
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 4: So we'll have to wait and see.
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 13: But yeah, clearing that seven thirty seven seven series for
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 13: approval the certification process was huge, not only for Boeing
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 13: because they got a nice little pop in their stock price,
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 13: but also for a lot of airlines around the world
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 13: that are trying to replace older, aging aircraft and bring
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 13: in these more fuel efficient aircraft. And boy, first a
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 13: time to have a more fuel efficient airplane. It's now
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 13: with some of the elevated cost of fuel.
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 1: Eric I understand the Boston Red Sox or having a
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 1: difficulty with Delta Airline charters.
• 2:08:30
  Speaker 13: Yeah, in fact, they use Delta for their charters, and
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 13: not once, not twice, but three times the aircraft that
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 13: they've used has broken down and caused significant delays. They
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 13: were coming out out of la with the recent series
• 2:08:45
  Speaker 13: with the Dodgers and they get on the plane as
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 13: their travel day and it's not until the wee hours
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 13: of the morning that they were able to get that
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 13: airplane fixed. They travel on a Boeing seven fifty seven,
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 13: which is an older type of aircraft. It's specifically tailored for,
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 13: you know, with fewer seats and different configurations for VIP travel.
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 13: And the you know, the Red Sox spent a great
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 13: deal of money on these charters. And when I was
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 13: with the Northwest, I was a travel coordinator for the
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 13: Detroit Lions when they chartered a seven fifty seven from US,
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 13: and there was nothing more important than the charter department
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 13: to take care of this customer that's spending a lot
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 13: of money. Typically, if you've got an airplane issue, you
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 13: quickly have another plane swapped, so you don't you alleviate
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 13: some of the inconvenience. And you know, on these baseball teams,
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 13: sometimes you don't have that next day off.
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 4: You're playing right and if you.
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 13: Don't get to the hotel till you know, two, three,
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 13: four in the morning or later, and it's maybe an
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 13: afternoon game or normally it's an evening game. On that Yeah,
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 13: it can be very problematic. And I don't think the
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 13: Red Sox are too happy right now with Delta, and
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 13: I suspect the charter department from every other airline is
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 13: knocking at the door of the Red Sox saying, hey,
• 2:09:57
  Speaker 13: if you'd like a airplane that actually works, get with
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 13: us and we'll take better care of you.
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 4: I know I would if I was another airline.
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 1: Well on the plane that the team is on, maybe
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 1: something that folks on the poly market betting scene follow, Look,
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 1: the plane is late, that's an impact on the outcome
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 1: of the game. Potentially it could be.
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 13: Or the maintenance team is like, you know, we don't
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 13: like the Red.
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 4: Sox delay this right there? You go. I doubt that's it,
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 4: but you just never know.
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 1: Or the maintenance team has a bet addiehow pivoting over?
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 1: We always end on hub delays. How's it looking for
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 1: travel out there?
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 13: Jay Ratliffe, Chicago's going to give us some glancing blows
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 13: as we go through the morning. I think early afternoon,
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 13: could see some delays creeping in there. Southern Florida Miami
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 13: Fort Lauderdale is going to get a lot of issues there,
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 13: so if you're flying on American airlines connecting through Miami
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 13: headed south or elsewhere, could see some delays. But other
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 13: than those two hubs, I think it's gonna be a
• 2:10:46
  Speaker 13: pretty good.
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 4: Day to fly.
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 1: Jay Ratlife, thank you so much for your time every Thursday.
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 1: We'll do this again next week and as always, between
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 1: now and then, best of health and love you and
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 1: your better half.
• 2:10:54
  Speaker 4: I appreciate it, my friend. Thanks
