- 0:13Speaker 2: Some say.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Will have no idea what's fun? Yeah, well you know
- 0:27Speaker 1: Talan need to do wi Brian Thomas right here host
- 0:30Speaker 1: the fifty five KRS Morning Show, and Joe Strecker exactly
- 0:33Speaker 1: where he belongs to, the executive producer Booth and a
- 0:36Speaker 1: guy sline up this morning here at the fifty five
- 0:38Speaker 1: care same morning show. Invite you just stick around all
- 0:39Speaker 1: morning check it out. If you can't remember fifty five
- 0:41Speaker 1: car Sea dot com, go to the podcast page and
- 0:44Speaker 1: find out the interviews you missed out on, like Money Monday,
- 0:46Speaker 1: Brian James and the Smitherman yesterday. We'll get to that
- 0:48Speaker 1: because Christopher Smithman talking about the Signal ninety nine reporting
- 0:52Speaker 1: on juveniles running them up in downtown Cincinnati and not
- 0:55Speaker 1: a word out there in the mainstream media until this morning. Yeah,
- 1:00Speaker 1: and in fact, a single ninety nine called a liar
- 1:03Speaker 1: and a racist for mentioning the CAD reports, which are
- 1:06Speaker 1: the electronic communications behind the scenes that didn't basically tell
- 1:09Speaker 1: the police where they need to be. It's kind of
- 1:11Speaker 1: like dispatch. We've got roving gangs of youth and smell
- 1:15Speaker 1: Park please show up there. The CAD records reveal it's
- 1:17Speaker 1: kind of along those timelines, calls for backup and swat
- 1:21Speaker 1: units and all that, and she documented ever at and people.
- 1:25Speaker 1: I guess we're attacking or is lying. Nothing like this
- 1:30Speaker 1: was reported in the mainstream media. You're a liar. And
- 1:33Speaker 1: also the charge of racism, which really preposterous. As Christopher
- 1:36Speaker 1: and I were talking about, no one has ever identified
- 1:40Speaker 1: the race of any of the youths running them up
- 1:43Speaker 1: in downtown Cincinnati on Friday evening. Nobody said anything about
- 1:47Speaker 1: the color of their skin. Ergo, the person making the
- 1:50Speaker 1: racism charge I think was the racist at least that's
- 1:53Speaker 1: my conclusion on that one. Anyhow, beyond that, the actual
- 1:57Speaker 1: information has come out this morning. And oh, by the way,
- 2:00Speaker 1: and I was right, it does they're accusing her of
- 2:02Speaker 1: being a liar. Were wrong. Tom Zallastausi's coming up at
- 2:06Speaker 1: seven thirty we the People Convention dot org. What happened
- 2:09Speaker 1: at the Ohio Data Center meeting he went to last week? Well,
- 2:13Speaker 1: I don't know that's why we have Tom, but I
- 2:15Speaker 1: do see that the Data Center ban putting on the
- 2:19Speaker 1: ballot this year is not going to happen. This group
- 2:23Speaker 1: called Conserve Ohio. Chinese Communist Party back I'm guessing, since
- 2:27Speaker 1: they wont to block data centers in the entire state,
- 2:30Speaker 1: announced that they would not be submitting the more than
- 2:33Speaker 1: four hundred and thirteen thousand signatures they need in order
- 2:36Speaker 1: to get on the ballot this fall, but they're going
- 2:38Speaker 1: to continue their efforts and try to get it on
- 2:41Speaker 1: the ballot next year. So we've got a little time
- 2:43Speaker 1: being bought. Maybe some cooler heads will prevail. Always go
- 2:46Speaker 1: back to the fact that while I don't like artificial intelligence,
- 2:49Speaker 1: it's here, it's not going anywhere, and if we don't
- 2:51Speaker 1: control it, the Chinese Communist Party will, so you may
- 2:54Speaker 1: as well get your head around it and deal with it.
- 3:00Speaker 1: What else is going on the morning show inside Scoop
- 3:02Speaker 1: but bright Bart News today we get to talk with
- 3:06Speaker 1: Curtains and Dalka, who's the bright Bart News London deputy
- 3:09Speaker 1: at her Kiri Starmer's out he quit how many prime
- 3:13Speaker 1: ministers make over the past fifteen minutes in England, like
- 3:17Speaker 1: seven or something. Anyway, we'll get his thoughts and comments
- 3:20Speaker 1: about what that means, who might be the next prime
- 3:22Speaker 1: minister and things England related. At eight oh five, follow
- 3:26Speaker 1: by the Daniel Davis deep Die with the latest on Iran.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Sounds like Iran's getting the upper hand on this one.
- 3:33Speaker 1: They had the sanctions released or lifted at least in
- 3:40Speaker 1: so far as the treasure departments preventing them from selling crude,
- 3:43Speaker 1: and now they can sell all the crude they want.
- 3:45Speaker 1: So that's just the beginning. Also, this mandatory insurance are
- 3:50Speaker 1: going to be charging now. According to the reporting on this,
- 3:54Speaker 1: Iran has instructed all vessels transiting the Horror Moves straight
- 3:57Speaker 1: to request access forty eight hours in advance. I guess
- 4:02Speaker 1: that's so they know which boats are going through and
- 4:05Speaker 1: get approval from the Iranians forty eight hours in advance,
- 4:08Speaker 1: and the vessels must acquire Iranian insurance. Now presently that
- 4:15Speaker 1: fee the insurance will be waived, so there's some I
- 4:19Speaker 1: go back to protection money. This is like the mob
- 4:21Speaker 1: coming to your business and saying you need to pay
- 4:23Speaker 1: us protection money. Who am I being protected from? Well us,
- 4:27Speaker 1: you pay us, we don't attack you. And that's basically
- 4:30Speaker 1: what this The Iranians have negotiated in this deal. So
- 4:33Speaker 1: the fee that that insurance fee is going to be
- 4:35Speaker 1: way for the time being. That's the sixty day provision. However,
- 4:39Speaker 1: it's in place theoretically, which means it's probably going to
- 4:43Speaker 1: be in paste down the road, transforming it to an
- 4:47Speaker 1: Iranian waterway with basically a theoretical toll bridge. There So
- 4:55Speaker 1: not a positive development from my perspective. And anyway, let's
- 5:00Speaker 1: pivot over to the the curfew centers. Remember the curfew
- 5:03Speaker 1: centers in City Cincinnati for the juvenile the youths. So
- 5:07Speaker 1: the police have a nice convenience spot to drop them
- 5:09Speaker 1: off until the parents pick them up. Please pick up
- 5:12Speaker 1: the youths off the street, the violating curfew. The go
- 5:14Speaker 1: to the curfew center. They said. At the curfew center,
- 5:18Speaker 1: parents are contacted and then parents come to the curfew
- 5:20Speaker 1: center and pick them up. Theoretically, anyway, didn't happen Friday night,
- 5:24Speaker 1: when all these disorderly teens were in fact running around
- 5:27Speaker 1: between from Smail Park to Fountain Square, the curfew centers
- 5:33Speaker 1: were not used at all. Rendo or Donez from Fox
- 5:38Speaker 1: News Fox nineteen reporting Ken Cobra FOP president cited staffing
- 5:44Speaker 1: and transportation challenge is the reason they weren't used. Hmmm, well,
- 5:49Speaker 1: is the program helping Some city council members were wondering
- 5:53Speaker 1: three hundred and eighty thousand dollars was how much the
- 5:55Speaker 1: city spent for this curfew center program. So we had
- 5:59Speaker 1: crowd to juveniles flooding the river front some I guess
- 6:02Speaker 1: they described as that is two hundred to three hundred people.
- 6:06Speaker 1: And one of the reasons the curfew centers weren't used,
- 6:09Speaker 1: according to k FOP president Ken Kobra, he said, you
- 6:11Speaker 1: had standby cars coming from other districts, So now those
- 6:13Speaker 1: districts are left short, so the response times they are
- 6:16Speaker 1: going to be longer in downtown where you're focused on
- 6:19Speaker 1: these crowds, that's just going to make other calls for
- 6:22Speaker 1: service have to wait. Problem. Maybe that has something to
- 6:26Speaker 1: do with the contingent of police officers we have in
- 6:29Speaker 1: Cincinnati Police Force. Anyway, the CAD records confirmed. Thank you
- 6:35Speaker 1: Signal ninety nine, who broke the news first. The fight
- 6:38Speaker 1: first broke out, Smell Park police got a call in
- 6:41Speaker 1: reporting somebody had been jumped by thirty suspects. Now they
- 6:44Speaker 1: say that they did not were able to not able
- 6:46Speaker 1: to verify that claim, but they spent hours moving the
- 6:49Speaker 1: crowds from Smell Park north of the Fountain Square to
- 6:52Speaker 1: the Government Square so they could put them on buses.
- 7:00Speaker 1: No city curfew centers described as a safe holding place
- 7:03Speaker 1: for juveniles violating curfew until the parent picks them up
- 7:06Speaker 1: on Friday. Not one of these two hundred to three
- 7:10Speaker 1: hundred reported juveniles packing in small Park all the way
- 7:13Speaker 1: up to Fountain Square. We're taken to a curfew center.
- 7:18Speaker 1: And FLP president Ken Kober said, well, we only had
- 7:20Speaker 1: twenty five officers managing two hundred two to three hundred people,
- 7:23Speaker 1: so it's not logistically Possibly, he says, it doesn't make
- 7:26Speaker 1: sense to take officers off the street to get them
- 7:29Speaker 1: somewhere where they are just going to leave the curfew center.
- 7:32Speaker 1: And you can understand that finite number of officers twenty
- 7:35Speaker 1: five to deal with two hundred and three hundred crazy
- 7:38Speaker 1: kids running around, you have to take officers out of
- 7:42Speaker 1: that environment haul them over to the curfew center for
- 7:45Speaker 1: the sole purpose of having their parents pick them up.
- 7:48Speaker 1: Maybe that's not a really great use of law enforcement
- 7:51Speaker 1: limited resources. And I think I'm gonna have to concur
- 7:53Speaker 1: with Kent on that that doesn't really make a whole
- 7:55Speaker 1: lot of sense. Er go do the curfew centers make sense?
- 8:00Speaker 1: Fox and the Team reported that last year, only four
- 8:04Speaker 1: kids were ever taken to the centers. That's a great
- 8:07Speaker 1: return on investment, isn't it. We need to figure this out.
- 8:15Speaker 1: What are the logistics and barriers preventing CPD from sending
- 8:18Speaker 1: them to curfew centers? Otherwise why do we have them, Ken,
- 8:22Speaker 1: Cobra asked out loud okay. Ken was also interviewed in
- 8:30Speaker 1: connection with the violence in downtown Cincinnati over the weekend.
- 8:33Speaker 1: Four people dad, multiple injured. You talked about this just
- 8:37Speaker 1: the other day. Colbert said the combination of violent crime
- 8:42Speaker 1: and public disorder has taking an old a toll on
- 8:44Speaker 1: the officers. He said, they're tired of it. They're tired
- 8:46Speaker 1: of going to homicide after homicide after homicide. And you know,
- 8:49Speaker 1: he elaborated on this a little bit more than the
- 8:51Speaker 1: news reporting in this particular article. Valerie Lions, it's cpo.
- 8:56Speaker 1: The psychological toll this takes on officers, I think people
- 8:59Speaker 1: need to be more aware of because my sister, who
- 9:02Speaker 1: retired from the Cincinni Police Department after twenty five years
- 9:05Speaker 1: of service, you know, work in special crimes where you
- 9:08Speaker 1: have to deal with child molesters that will ruin you psychologically.
- 9:13Speaker 1: To see the and witness the horrific treatment of young
- 9:18Speaker 1: children by horrific evil monsters, and to know that that
- 9:22Speaker 1: is continuing and going on while you gather evidence against
- 9:25Speaker 1: the monsters so that you can successfully prosecute these perverts.
- 9:30Speaker 1: That's a weight that is just beyond most people's understanding.
- 9:34Speaker 1: And to walk into a crime scene and see someone murdered,
- 9:37Speaker 1: their bloody body piled up in a heap, and to
- 9:41Speaker 1: have to deal with that day after day, that is
- 9:43Speaker 1: a tremendous burden. And then to have to work overtime
- 9:46Speaker 1: hour after overtime hour because we don't have enough police
- 9:49Speaker 1: officers on the street. That's a weight on anybody, taking
- 9:52Speaker 1: time away from family, taking away your much needed relaxation
- 9:56Speaker 1: hours that are supposed to be providing you an opportunity
- 9:58Speaker 1: to recharge your batter reason, maybe deal with the psychological
- 10:01Speaker 1: pain that you're facing on the job. Yeah, it's tough
- 10:04Speaker 1: being a police officer anyway. But he blamed the criminal
- 10:15Speaker 1: justice system. Ken did, and I think his target is
- 10:18Speaker 1: an appropriate one. The failures within the criminal justice system.
- 10:23Speaker 1: Repeat defenders should face stronger consequences. He said, look, you
- 10:26Speaker 1: look at every one of the suspects, and I'm sure
- 10:29Speaker 1: these latest ones are going to be no different. They
- 10:31Speaker 1: are all people that are no stranger to the justice system,
- 10:34Speaker 1: that have been convicted of violent crimes before. And he
- 10:39Speaker 1: thinks that the lax criminal justice system we have here,
- 10:42Speaker 1: Judge Silverstein, huh kind of poster child for a lax
- 10:47Speaker 1: of criminal justice system. Prosecution, sentencing, bail, and the lenient
- 10:52Speaker 1: lax nature of them all contributing to the violence and
- 10:55Speaker 1: the ongoing violence. He said, until something tightens up with
- 10:58Speaker 1: the judicial system, we're going to see more of this.
- 11:01Speaker 1: He also criticized what he called a lack of accountability
- 11:04Speaker 1: for juvenile offenders, specifically pointing to concerns over auto thefts
- 11:08Speaker 1: and other crimes involving young suspects. Quote, these kids aren't
- 11:12Speaker 1: just getting in these cars to go joy ride. They're
- 11:15Speaker 1: going to use them for shootings, robberies, breaking and entering
- 11:18Speaker 1: of businesses, and their uh when they're closed. Suggested parents
- 11:23Speaker 1: need to play a larger role in preventing juvenile crime.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Not knowing where your children are at eleven, twelve, one
- 11:28Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning, that falls on the parents before
- 11:30Speaker 1: it falls on anybody else, Right, ken, where in the
- 11:34Speaker 1: hell are the parents? Where in the hell are the parents? Patrick,
- 11:42Speaker 1: hang on, brother, I see you're up there on the
- 11:44Speaker 1: call screen. Five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred,
- 11:46Speaker 1: eight hundred and eighty two to three talk pound five
- 11:49Speaker 1: fifty on AT and T phones. Be right back after
- 11:50Speaker 1: these brief words. This is fifty five KRC and iHeart
- 11:54Speaker 1: rate one on a Tuesday. TikTok, TikTok. As we move
- 11:58Speaker 1: faster and faster towards my daughter's b weldding day outdoor wedding.
- 12:01Speaker 1: Please dear God, let it not rain on Saturday. We'll
- 12:05Speaker 1: manage one way or another, but your prayers will be
- 12:07Speaker 1: greatly appreciated. Let's go to the phones. Patrick, appreciate you
- 12:11Speaker 1: call this morning. Happy Tuesday to you, sir.
- 12:14Speaker 3: Hey, Happy Tuesday to you as well.
- 12:15Speaker 4: Brian.
- 12:16Speaker 3: Thanks well, this whole curfew center thing, I actually I
- 12:21Speaker 3: just thought of a solution for this street car. Pack
- 12:25Speaker 3: them all in the street car and you can automatically
- 12:27Speaker 3: send them where they need to go. You don't have
- 12:29Speaker 3: to call any other officers from any other districts. You
- 12:32Speaker 3: have the mobile resources right there, and it would actually
- 12:35Speaker 3: serve some purpose.
- 12:36Speaker 1: There you go.
- 12:37Speaker 5: And my other point is that, and you know, Brian,
- 12:44Speaker 5: you know this as well as I do that the
- 12:47Speaker 5: political environment today in America is just god awful.
- 12:53Speaker 3: I mean there is no more reasoning, there is no
- 12:56Speaker 3: more civility, there's no more humility. And social media as
- 13:00Speaker 3: a huge advocate of it. I mean, every time you
- 13:03Speaker 3: go on social media, all you see is the Trump
- 13:05Speaker 3: and a reflecting foll Trump and I ran Trump and
- 13:08Speaker 3: a reflecting fole And I'm like, good grief. You know,
- 13:10Speaker 3: whatever happens to using resources to better your intelligence, whatever
- 13:16Speaker 3: happened to using resources to reach out to somebody to
- 13:20Speaker 3: see how they're doing. And I mean, just as a
- 13:22Speaker 3: culture brand, I mean it saddens me to see the
- 13:26Speaker 3: world that my grandson is growing up. And yeah, because
- 13:30Speaker 3: I mean there's no more civility anymore. I mean there
- 13:32Speaker 3: are some of us that were becoming a dying breed.
- 13:36Speaker 3: So that's all I had to say, brother head good day.
- 13:38Speaker 1: Who could argue with those observations. But you know, social
- 13:41Speaker 1: media is the drags of everything, you know, it's everything's clickbait.
- 13:45Speaker 1: What do we click on? And why? Remember going back
- 13:47Speaker 1: in the day, for people as old as I am,
- 13:49Speaker 1: remember Al Shadlecottie, he used to get criticized, blood and
- 13:52Speaker 1: guts out. He ran the blood that if it bleeds,
- 13:56Speaker 1: it leads. Why because people are wildly curious about it.
- 13:59Speaker 1: The more horrific something is, the more outlandish it is.
- 14:03Speaker 1: That serves as well, at least ratings boosters back in
- 14:07Speaker 1: the days when you had five, nine and twelve and
- 14:09Speaker 1: nineteen doing some reporting. But you know, this is social media.
- 14:13Speaker 1: You got to get clicks. People click on that crap
- 14:17Speaker 1: and they live in their own echo chamber. Two. So yeah,
- 14:19Speaker 1: a story after story after story about a moldy or
- 14:22Speaker 1: an algae ridden reflecting pool after Trump did his best
- 14:24Speaker 1: to try to clean it up after so many years
- 14:26Speaker 1: have been laying to waste. Yeah, that's gonna get a
- 14:29Speaker 1: lot of clicks. But is that what really truly matters
- 14:31Speaker 1: to people in this world? Just because it makes the click,
- 14:35Speaker 1: it gets the clicks on social media, I don't know.
- 14:38Speaker 1: I'm listen, no fan of social media, am I? Anybody
- 14:41Speaker 1: knows that because the only place I have any presence
- 14:44Speaker 1: in social media is a minimalist presence on Facebook. And
- 14:46Speaker 1: you know what, my life's fine. As a consequence of that.
- 14:49Speaker 1: I don't want to be the guy. Let's go out
- 14:53Speaker 1: and live my life, right, But yeah, there is no
- 14:58Speaker 1: question about it. And you've got to remember, because we
- 15:01Speaker 1: learn it from Tech Friday's Day, how to the pervasiveness
- 15:03Speaker 1: of outside nefarious actors continuing to stir the pot of
- 15:07Speaker 1: division in this country. Whether it's the evil pro socialist
- 15:12Speaker 1: Marxist folks like George Soros has been a thorn in
- 15:15Speaker 1: this country side for decades, or the Chinese communist part
- 15:19Speaker 1: of the Iranians, the Russians, the North Koreans. Anybody else
- 15:22Speaker 1: who dislikes us and does not believe in who we are,
- 15:25Speaker 1: doesn't like our success in this world, is going to
- 15:28Speaker 1: take to social media and continue to stir that pot
- 15:31Speaker 1: of division. They get a benefit from it. We are
- 15:37Speaker 1: not a unified country as much as we used to be. Statistically.
- 15:40Speaker 1: It's born out, maybe because people are too busy going
- 15:43Speaker 1: on social media and being angry at each other. Cloaked
- 15:47Speaker 1: in the veil of anonymity, it's easy to say something
- 15:51Speaker 1: vile and disgusting on social media when your social media
- 15:54Speaker 1: presence masks who you really are in the real and
- 15:56Speaker 1: real world. It's easy, and you can use artificial intelligence
- 16:07Speaker 1: to continue to stir the pot. Think of it that
- 16:10Speaker 1: tens of thousands of little tiny miniature computers and they
- 16:13Speaker 1: do have these things, the little raspberry computers, basically the
- 16:17Speaker 1: function of a full sized computer. They can harness those
- 16:19Speaker 1: things that churn out what sounds like individuals harping about government,
- 16:25Speaker 1: stirring the pot of division. Pick any subject matter and
- 16:28Speaker 1: you could create the illusion that tens of thousands, if
- 16:31Speaker 1: not millions, of people are all sharing the same message.
- 16:36Speaker 1: It could be completely fake. So grain AsSalt time with
- 16:41Speaker 1: everything on social media, folks, or just steer clear of it.
- 16:43Speaker 1: It's probably gonna do you a lot of good mental
- 16:45Speaker 1: health wise. Don't go away. I got more calls on
- 16:48Speaker 1: the line, which I thoroughly enjoy. We're gonna get to
- 16:50Speaker 1: those calls just a minute. Don't go away. Fifty five
- 16:53Speaker 1: KRC years of early mornings Ay Tuesday five one, three, seven, nine,
- 17:00Speaker 1: fifty two three talk pound five fifty on eight and
- 17:03Speaker 1: T phones. Look at the callers we got lined up,
- 17:05Speaker 1: starting with Eddie, Eddie, thanks for calling this morning. Happy
- 17:07Speaker 1: Tuesday to you, Send to you.
- 17:09Speaker 3: And Brian a previous car brought. He kind of touched
- 17:14Speaker 3: on one of my topics about the mobile curfew centers.
- 17:18Speaker 3: I say, use Queen City metro buses. The city can
- 17:26Speaker 3: bring a bus pretty much anywhere downtown, throw them up,
- 17:29Speaker 3: hold them right there. And that's one convenient way. The
- 17:33Speaker 3: police don't have to do anything except it's a good one,
- 17:38Speaker 3: babysit the bus.
- 17:39Speaker 1: See Eddie, you're making a great point. What is a
- 17:42Speaker 1: curfew center but a room a theoretically just the room
- 17:45Speaker 1: to put a kid in until his dad picks them
- 17:47Speaker 1: up or mom picks them up or guardian. Right, that's it.
- 17:50Speaker 1: It's a holding pen. You're right. You could use the
- 17:52Speaker 1: street car, you could use a bus, you could use
- 17:54Speaker 1: one of the police stations. I guess it doesn't require
- 17:58Speaker 1: this free standing three un or the eight thousand dollars
- 18:00Speaker 1: taxpayer funded independent building, does it, Eddie.
- 18:04Speaker 3: No, it doesn't. And and all there's all due respect
- 18:08Speaker 3: to the UH to the police not using the curfew
- 18:12Speaker 3: center because of whatever reason logistics, I'm gonna have to
- 18:19Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to throw a flag on that, because
- 18:21Speaker 3: they could load up a prisoner bus and take take
- 18:24Speaker 3: the kids to the curfew center. But in the in
- 18:29Speaker 3: the meantime that they they have to do something different
- 18:34Speaker 3: because we're just we're just repeating history.
- 18:37Speaker 1: Well yeah, I mean, as long as the problem with
- 18:39Speaker 1: mass crowds of you and Juneo is running amuck because
- 18:43Speaker 1: again we'll go back to social media. It's easy to
- 18:45Speaker 1: put together hundreds of kids in a moment's notice, just
- 18:47Speaker 1: by sending a text out. Until we solve the problem
- 18:50Speaker 1: of how it is that yous that are subject to
- 18:54Speaker 1: curfew can be running around at one o'clock in the
- 18:56Speaker 1: morning with no supervision. That's the challenge right there, and
- 18:59Speaker 1: that sound like we need parental involvement. I mean, you
- 19:03Speaker 1: can't solve this problem until we get into people's houses
- 19:05Speaker 1: and smack them in the face metaphorically and wake them
- 19:08Speaker 1: up to the reality they have an obligation to society
- 19:11Speaker 1: and to their own children to raise them properly. They
- 19:14Speaker 1: shouldn't be running around at one o'clock or whenever in
- 19:17Speaker 1: the morning after curfew period. End of story. Let's solve
- 19:20Speaker 1: that problem. It seems to be a rather simplistic one.
- 19:23Speaker 1: They're your kids, take care of them.
- 19:27Speaker 3: That's a great segue into my next comment. Last night
- 19:30Speaker 3: on the news, I saw some very angry parents at
- 19:33Speaker 3: a school since our school board meeting. They were complaining
- 19:37Speaker 3: about the discipline at the German school. I don't know
- 19:43Speaker 3: the full title of the school, but apparently black children
- 19:47Speaker 3: were being disciplined much more often than other students, despite
- 19:53Speaker 3: making up a very small percentage of the student body. Brian,
- 19:58Speaker 3: help me out here, Brian, can we we have we
- 20:01Speaker 3: have cameras in schools now? Yeah, uh, I don't know
- 20:05Speaker 3: if we have them in classrooms, but why not put
- 20:09Speaker 3: them in classrooms? And I don't have to see the video.
- 20:12Speaker 3: The parent who's saying my child didn't do anything wrong
- 20:15Speaker 3: need to see the video, outstanding, why not put body
- 20:19Speaker 3: cameras on teachers?
- 20:20Speaker 1: Yeah, you have. You have cameras in the classroom which
- 20:23Speaker 1: could capture this. And I've been an advocate for that
- 20:24Speaker 1: for a long time for the reasons. One of the
- 20:26Speaker 1: reasons is one you just mentioned. Police have to wear
- 20:29Speaker 1: body cameras, right, and ultimately that has been a great
- 20:32Speaker 1: thing for the police department because they were facing allegations
- 20:35Speaker 1: of untoward behavior, unlawful conduct, racism or whatever else. They've
- 20:39Speaker 1: got video of it. Now, No, sorry, that didn't happen,
- 20:43Speaker 1: pointing out the video. Now, if the disciplinary issues are
- 20:46Speaker 1: problem with certain segment of the population at any given school,
- 20:49Speaker 1: and you can prove it, Look, the only reason that
- 20:51Speaker 1: kid got disciplined is because look at what he or
- 20:53Speaker 1: she did there. It is on video that would solve
- 20:57Speaker 1: the problem, then, wouldn't it. I embrace the concept and
- 21:00Speaker 1: right just let the parents see it, let the administration
- 21:02Speaker 1: see it, keep it out of the prying eyes of perverts.
- 21:04Speaker 1: You might want to, you know, peek in on school
- 21:07Speaker 1: classrooms or whatever. There's some crazy people out there. But yeah,
- 21:10Speaker 1: that problem can be overcome. Good shot, good call. Bobby's next, Bobby,
- 21:14Speaker 1: thanks for calling this morning.
- 21:15Speaker 6: Happy Tuesday, Happy Tuesday, My brother, Faith, flag family, and
- 21:20Speaker 6: you know the rest. Firearms, keep your family, keep yourself safe.
- 21:28Speaker 6: These these problems can be corrected down to Cincinnati. And
- 21:31Speaker 6: it's not just down Fountain Square. It's everywhere Cincinnati. When
- 21:35Speaker 6: you have incidents, accidents and occurrences like we've had, the
- 21:40Speaker 6: national they don't want to report to the national news
- 21:44Speaker 6: anytime you have four people murdered at one time that's
- 21:48Speaker 6: classified and federal as a mass shooting. They don't take
- 21:53Speaker 6: that serious at all. They don't. It's going to get worse, period.
- 21:59Speaker 1: I I don't have any reason to argue with you
- 22:02Speaker 1: about that, Bobby. One can presume it will get worse.
- 22:05Speaker 1: One can hope that it won't get worse. But I
- 22:08Speaker 1: don't know that, you know, treating criminals with a slap
- 22:11Speaker 1: on the hand, which is basically the criminal justice system
- 22:13Speaker 1: in Hamilton County these days. No bond and no bail
- 22:16Speaker 1: for recidibus defenders, that kind of thing, light sentences for
- 22:20Speaker 1: people who do some pretty horrific things. The word gets
- 22:22Speaker 1: out on that. Look, if you commit crime in the
- 22:24Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati, you're gonna get a slap on the wrist.
- 22:26Speaker 1: Why not give it a shot. They probably won't catch
- 22:28Speaker 1: you anyway. Limited number of police officers, they can't be
- 22:31Speaker 1: everywhere at all times, and the volume of crime makes
- 22:36Speaker 1: the job of prosecution even more difficult because the cases
- 22:39Speaker 1: keep piling up and the prosecutor's jobs will never get done.
- 22:43Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 22:43Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I can only pray it doesn't get worse, Bobby.
- 22:48Speaker 4: It's going to get worse, and the only way to
- 22:50Speaker 4: correct is to starve them out. When you have these
- 22:53Speaker 4: big companies, once death is at their doorsteps, then you're
- 22:57Speaker 4: gonna have problems. So you're suggesting right at the Bengals,
- 23:01Speaker 4: the major companies down there, and I'm telling you to
- 23:04Speaker 4: starve them out. Don't spend any money in Cincinnati. In
- 23:09Speaker 4: eighteen months, they'll they'll capitulate they have.
- 23:12Speaker 1: To using California as a model, flee the problems you
- 23:17Speaker 1: are surrounded by and go someplace where the climate is
- 23:21Speaker 1: better and the crime is lower. One major corporation I
- 23:25Speaker 1: have in mind could probably accomplish that just by itself. Bobby,
- 23:28Speaker 1: I'll let you decide which one I'm talking about. I
- 23:31Speaker 1: got other called Tom and James are on the line. Guys,
- 23:34Speaker 1: don't go away. It's five point thirty five right now.
- 23:36Speaker 1: I want to mention USA and.
- 23:37Speaker 7: SOTH station.
- 23:40Speaker 1: Five forty one on a Tuesday, and happy when till
- 23:43Speaker 1: you do have stacker stupid. But I got callers on
- 23:45Speaker 1: the line, which you know I prefer five one three
- 23:47Speaker 1: seven nine fifty hundred eight two three talk con five
- 23:50Speaker 1: fifty on AT and T Funds. Tom, welcome to the program.
- 23:52Speaker 1: Good to hear from you, as always.
- 23:54Speaker 2: By good morning. As much as I hate to pre
- 23:56Speaker 2: empty stack of stupid, this is this is a very
- 24:00Speaker 2: important topic. Uh. First of all, good to see diesel
- 24:04Speaker 2: prices below five bucks. Still need to come down lower,
- 24:07Speaker 2: but it's kind of the benchmarked it. Yeah, who uh
- 24:10Speaker 2: who at least gets a little bit of relief from
- 24:12Speaker 2: hopefully the prices of everything's reflecting this. But your your
- 24:18Speaker 2: topic about about what's going on. You nailed it, Mom, dad, guardian,
- 24:22Speaker 2: whoever you are. You need to get involved, I believe
- 24:26Speaker 2: it or not. I I may or may not have
- 24:28Speaker 2: been involved in some shenanigans when I was young and
- 24:31Speaker 2: uh running running around with running around with some guys
- 24:35Speaker 2: in the middle of the night on the weekend and
- 24:37Speaker 2: have a little fun and uh. One one particular incident,
- 24:41Speaker 2: I will never forget the vivid memory of my stepdad
- 24:45Speaker 2: coming in my room in the middle of the night,
- 24:47Speaker 2: flipping the light on, yanking me out of bed. I
- 24:50Speaker 2: don't think my feet touched the floor of my bedroom,
- 24:53Speaker 2: and he wants to know why he's getting a phone
- 24:56Speaker 2: call in the middle of the night from the local
- 24:58Speaker 2: police department.
- 24:59Speaker 1: About there you go.
- 25:01Speaker 2: So, uh yeah, that'll cut back on some scenaris.
- 25:04Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and I bet you know what, I bet
- 25:06Speaker 1: you were out doing whatever you were doing that resulted
- 25:08Speaker 1: in that you had in the back of your mind
- 25:10Speaker 1: that that was a definite possibility that if your stepfather
- 25:14Speaker 1: knew that you were out, your butt was in a
- 25:17Speaker 1: world of hurt. So it was already in the back
- 25:19Speaker 1: of your mind. So probably curb the amount of times
- 25:22Speaker 1: you would be out doing stupid, crazy things because I
- 25:26Speaker 1: also do not have completely clean hands, but I did
- 25:28Speaker 1: have parents at home that would, oh my god, the
- 25:30Speaker 1: wrath that would come down on me if I had
- 25:32Speaker 1: done anything.
- 25:34Speaker 2: Well, that's what's that's what's missing. There's got to be
- 25:36Speaker 2: there's got to be consequences. We all know of. Just
- 25:39Speaker 2: for one example, we all know of roads around here
- 25:42Speaker 2: where you just do not speed. And the reason why
- 25:44Speaker 2: you know that is because enough people enough Like green Hills,
- 25:48Speaker 2: you don't speed for green Hills, you don't when you
- 25:51Speaker 2: go out east side of town on thirty two or
- 25:53Speaker 2: one five, you don't speed through Amelia, you don't speed
- 25:57Speaker 2: through Batavia. Why so people have gotten it's words gotten.
- 26:01Speaker 2: Now you don't speed out.
- 26:02Speaker 1: There like that. When I was little, you never sped
- 26:05Speaker 1: through sale of Park like two miles over the limit.
- 26:07Speaker 1: They'd give you a ticket. So yeah, word does get out.
- 26:10Speaker 2: And another example that but a little bit severe that
- 26:14Speaker 2: you know, my daughter moved out to California. She hasn't
- 26:17Speaker 2: had her license renewed out there yet, so she's still
- 26:21Speaker 2: getting some some bill sent and she got a couple
- 26:23Speaker 2: of us. She went on a toll road and got
- 26:25Speaker 2: a couple of tolls sent to our house here that
- 26:28Speaker 2: she's that's got to get paid for. One of them
- 26:30Speaker 2: is like three bucks for something. The other's two dollars
- 26:32Speaker 2: or something. If you don't pay those fines in time,
- 26:35Speaker 2: it's one hundred dollar fine, oh each each wo on
- 26:41Speaker 2: top of on top of the toll. So it's like,
- 26:44Speaker 2: you want to pay three dollars and forty two cents
- 26:46Speaker 2: or do you want to pay one hundred and three
- 26:47Speaker 2: dollars like California is crazy? That makes the point. I
- 26:52Speaker 2: think that's ridiculous, but it makes the point. You will
- 26:55Speaker 2: pay your fine or you will realize you know, you
- 26:57Speaker 2: will pay dearly. Anyway, As I say, don't vote Democrat.
- 27:01Speaker 2: Have a great day.
- 27:02Speaker 1: You got it in even though there was no direct connection.
- 27:04Speaker 1: Appreciate that. Time's you with James the Guy this morning. James,
- 27:07Speaker 1: Welcome to the program. Happy Tuesday.
- 27:10Speaker 8: Hey, doctor Brian, I come in peace, love everybody, and
- 27:13Speaker 8: there's nothing you can do about it.
- 27:15Speaker 1: Go ahead and knock yourself out. I agree with you
- 27:17Speaker 1: on that.
- 27:17Speaker 8: Now you're gonna have to put your seat belt on
- 27:20Speaker 8: for this and hold on.
- 27:22Speaker 3: Now.
- 27:23Speaker 8: I know you a good defense litigator when it comes
- 27:26Speaker 8: to the legal part. But I'm speaking from actually practicality
- 27:31Speaker 8: where I live at. And Okay, let's say I think
- 27:39Speaker 8: I've told you before. I'm free, so I'm happy, I'm healthy,
- 27:44Speaker 8: so I'm wealthy, all right now?
- 27:47Speaker 6: AI.
- 27:48Speaker 8: I like what's going on with AI. Whether it's all
- 27:51Speaker 8: true or not, I don't know. But in doing research
- 27:55Speaker 8: as a black male, I can see it. It allows
- 27:59Speaker 8: us to see ourself in a positive light instead of
- 28:04Speaker 8: what the European, the Romans, the Greek, and the Abs
- 28:08Speaker 8: have done to black peoples. When you do your research
- 28:12Speaker 8: and go backwards on AI, it'll put you in a
- 28:16Speaker 8: positive light instead of looking at yourself as being taught
- 28:20Speaker 8: that you was criminals, You was the creud of the earth,
- 28:23Speaker 8: You was bad, you were thief, and on and on
- 28:26Speaker 8: and on. You look at that Ai, it'll bring you
- 28:31Speaker 8: back to a point where you feel better about yourself
- 28:35Speaker 8: where civilization was flourish and over in Africa before it
- 28:40Speaker 8: was in Europe. And you put all these connect these
- 28:44Speaker 8: dots and it gives you a better feeling. Whether it's
- 28:47Speaker 8: true or not. I'd rather look at AI and hear
- 28:51Speaker 8: a lie from them than to hear the life from
- 28:54Speaker 8: the European that have pertuated so much even with religion.
- 29:00Speaker 1: I think in the interest of times since they'ret It
- 29:02Speaker 1: just depends on where you're getting your information, James. There's
- 29:06Speaker 1: always been people who will say this group of people
- 29:08Speaker 1: is bad evil whatever. They're motivated by, religion, they're motivated
- 29:12Speaker 1: by anger, philosophy. Just because someone is a different cultor skill,
- 29:15Speaker 1: whatever the motivation, it doesn't mean it's accurate or right.
- 29:18Speaker 1: The narrative about you know, Africa being intellectual and that's
- 29:22Speaker 1: all out there if you want to go find it.
- 29:25Speaker 1: I don't know how AI factors into this other than
- 29:27Speaker 1: you know, it is a different way of collecting the
- 29:30Speaker 1: information and providing it to you. Perhaps it is a
- 29:32Speaker 1: different form of propaganda because what you characterize by way
- 29:36Speaker 1: of Western Europeans and how they've perceived black people is
- 29:40Speaker 1: not a one hundred percent pervasive viewpoint of how people
- 29:43Speaker 1: perceive black people in the world. So, you know, it
- 29:45Speaker 1: just depends on where you're getting your information. So does
- 29:47Speaker 1: it operate as a mechanism to get different information exactly?
- 29:51Speaker 1: But it's all out there depending on where you look
- 29:54Speaker 1: at it, and you're going to have to trust an
- 29:55Speaker 1: AI algorithm to give you well an accurate representation, which
- 30:00Speaker 1: leads me to ask the question what's accurate? That quite
- 30:03Speaker 1: often falls into the area of subjectivity. Five forty seven
- 30:06Speaker 1: to fifty five KRC Detox Station Gate of Heaven Cemetery.
- 30:09Speaker 1: Gate of Heaven Catholic Cemetery serving the Greater Cincinnati Christian
- 30:12Speaker 1: community of fifty five CARC Detox Station, Happy Tuesday, an
- 30:16Speaker 1: opportunity to get a stack a stupid story in here
- 30:18Speaker 1: or two. Maybe we got to Scotland where a guy
- 30:21Speaker 1: went to optalmologists claims he had problems with his eyes.
- 30:25Speaker 1: Noticed increase in floaters, flashing red lights and was curring
- 30:29Speaker 1: over the previous six days. Man said he hadn't had
- 30:31Speaker 1: any i or head injuries before the vision problem started up.
- 30:33Speaker 1: His family didn't have any history of eye disorders. Nothing
- 30:36Speaker 1: could explain why he was dealing having these problems. Doctors
- 30:40Speaker 1: took a look at the eye. They found both of
- 30:42Speaker 1: his eyes described in terrible shape, multiple retinal tears in
- 30:46Speaker 1: his right eye, widespread retinal bruising condition they call it
- 30:51Speaker 1: retinal dialysis, usually seen after a signify an eye injury
- 30:55Speaker 1: like getting punched into face. They pressed him on any
- 31:01Speaker 1: untoward things that might have happened that to his eyeballs
- 31:04Speaker 1: that would cause these problems. He reluctantly admitted that he
- 31:06Speaker 1: had been trying to soothe his tired eyes using a
- 31:10Speaker 1: percussive massage gun. Got a picture of it here, looks
- 31:14Speaker 1: pretty deadly. He's got a small head attachment shaped like
- 31:17Speaker 1: a bullet, doctor said. He eventually confessed to using the
- 31:22Speaker 1: massage gun directly on and around both eyes on a
- 31:24Speaker 1: weekly basis for three months to help with eye fatigue.
- 31:29Speaker 1: They also noticed he had no history of psychiatric conditions
- 31:32Speaker 1: or drug use. You dumbass, that's exactly right. Apparently this
- 31:38Speaker 1: terrible pounding that his eyes were taken was caused all
- 31:41Speaker 1: the damage in his eyes, They concluded, rapidly compressed the
- 31:44Speaker 1: eyeballs back, causing him to squish out from the sides,
- 31:47Speaker 1: which is thought to have led to the retinal dialysis,
- 31:51Speaker 1: described as the first in scientific literature on how to
- 31:55Speaker 1: injure an eyeball percussive massage gun.
- 31:58Speaker 9: Don't go down that road, does not make it.
- 32:01Speaker 1: It doesn't. Charlestown, Indiana man facing more than one hundred
- 32:06Speaker 1: charges after allegedly shooting deer from inside a vehicle. Why
- 32:11Speaker 1: are you doing that? Let's see if we can find
- 32:13Speaker 1: out Indian Apartment of Match of Resources. According to them,
- 32:16Speaker 1: a concerned citizen gave information to the authorities led to
- 32:19Speaker 1: an investigation of fishal said the report came in December
- 32:23Speaker 1: twenty five alleged Woodrow Snyder, twenty eight, shooting multiple deer
- 32:27Speaker 1: at night from inside a motor vehicle. Falk Kenny. Authorities
- 32:30Speaker 1: received the report December last year about shots fired. Police
- 32:33Speaker 1: conducted a traffic stop and a pickup driven by this guy.
- 32:37Speaker 1: They found multiple dead deer inside the truck, several discarded
- 32:41Speaker 1: firearms on the side of the road. Snyder's passenger arrested
- 32:45Speaker 1: at the scene in the vehicle was seized as evidence.
- 32:47Speaker 1: Officers then executed several search warrants, contacted or collected physical
- 32:51Speaker 1: evidence and digital evidence, and interviewed witnesses. Evidence indicated that Snyder,
- 32:56Speaker 1: along with several accomplices, killed more than thirty white tail
- 33:00Speaker 1: deer during the fall season last year and winter. Take

- 33:45Speaker 1: o'clock hour. I love phone calls. You can feel free
- 33:47Speaker 1: to call me up. I'll be right back after the
- 33:49Speaker 1: top of the our news. We put the inbation at
- 33:55Speaker 1: six or six to fifty five k RCD talk station,
- 33:58Speaker 1: Happy Tuesday. My name is Brian Thomas. I host this
- 34:01Speaker 1: fifty five k ROSE Morning Show. Executive producers Joe Strekker,
- 34:04Speaker 1: and you give me a call. You talk to Joe first,
- 34:06Speaker 1: He'll put you on the call screen five on three, seven, four, nine, fifty,
- 34:09Speaker 1: five hundred, eight hundred and eight to two three talk
- 34:11Speaker 1: poun five fifty on AT and T phones seven thirty.
- 34:13Speaker 1: Tom's Awastowski returns. He is with We the People Convention
- 34:17Speaker 1: dot Org. You just check out his website his weekly podcast.
- 34:19Speaker 1: We'll talk with him about the Ohio Data center meeting
- 34:21Speaker 1: that he attended. The data center folks who are trying
- 34:24Speaker 1: to prevent data centers in the state of Ohio at
- 34:26Speaker 1: don't have enough signatures to make it on the ballot
- 34:28Speaker 1: this fall, so they're going to continue their effort and
- 34:31Speaker 1: collect signatures throughout next year. I guess they eat four
- 34:33Speaker 1: hundred and roughly fifteen thousand signatures to give you the
- 34:37Speaker 1: opportunity to vote to well, cut your own throat by
- 34:40Speaker 1: preventing data centers from being built. He's such a dumb, dumb,
- 34:44Speaker 1: dumb thought. So whether you like AAR or not, and
- 34:47Speaker 1: I'm following into the category of somebody who does not
- 34:49Speaker 1: like it just for a multitude of reasons, it doesn't
- 34:51Speaker 1: mean you can stop it by saying, well, we're not
- 34:53Speaker 1: going to have it here, just basically shooting yourself in
- 34:56Speaker 1: the foot, denying yourself a revenue opportunity and maybe an
- 34:58Speaker 1: opportunity to advance energy production. I noted that Chevron, for example,
- 35:05Speaker 1: landed a twenty year deal to power Microsoft's artificial intelligence expansion.
- 35:10Speaker 1: They signed this agreement. It's for a data center in
- 35:13Speaker 1: West Texas. It's called Project Kilby, expected to begin generating
- 35:18Speaker 1: power in twenty twenty eight and eventually reach two point
- 35:23Speaker 1: sixty seven gigawatts. What's that mean. Apparently that's enough electricity
- 35:26Speaker 1: to power more than five hundred and thirty thousand Texas homes.
- 35:33Speaker 1: They're going to be using natural gas from the Permian
- 35:35Speaker 1: Basin to fuel these turbines. They bought from a General
- 35:39Speaker 1: Electric It's a seven billion dollar deal. And you know,
- 35:43Speaker 1: the idea that they can get this program up and
- 35:45Speaker 1: running by twenty twenty eight, it's pretty amazing in and
- 35:47Speaker 1: of itself. I don't know if they can, you know,
- 35:49Speaker 1: navigate the environmental regulations and everything else, and the legal
- 35:52Speaker 1: challenges they are going to be thrown at this like
- 35:55Speaker 1: so many other projects. But it can be done if
- 35:58Speaker 1: they bring their own power to have a problem with it.
- 36:00Speaker 1: All of the challenges and the arguments that antiai are
- 36:04Speaker 1: anti data center folks raise are all quite surmountable. I
- 36:09Speaker 1: mean the use of water, for example, not nearly as
- 36:12Speaker 1: much water as many people talk about being used. Of course,
- 36:16Speaker 1: closed loop systems mean they don't consume that much water.
- 36:19Speaker 1: You can, of course, deal with any pollutants that come
- 36:21Speaker 1: out because hell, we can scrub coal plant smoke that
- 36:24Speaker 1: comes out and reduce the pollutants from that. I know,
- 36:27Speaker 1: we can filter water. And finally, let's keep in mind
- 36:30Speaker 1: that a golf course uses about three hundred and fifteen
- 36:33Speaker 1: thousand gallons of water every single day. So the people
- 36:36Speaker 1: complaining about AI centers might want to direct their attention
- 36:39Speaker 1: to the multitude of golf courses that are around just
- 36:41Speaker 1: by way of comparison. So overblown concerns. And again, you know,
- 36:46Speaker 1: you got to remember the Chinese Communist Party. Yes, they're
- 36:49Speaker 1: out there and they are actively involved in funding as
- 36:51Speaker 1: well as perpetuating the nonsense that these data centers are
- 36:55Speaker 1: basically going to kill all of us. Oh well, five
- 36:58Speaker 1: on three seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred
- 37:00Speaker 1: eight two three talk what's going on with the Iranian regime? Oh,
- 37:03Speaker 1: since I started out with it, if you're just tuning in,
- 37:06Speaker 1: signal ninety nine was in fact right. I brought that
- 37:08Speaker 1: up yesterday with Christopher smith Aman. She was attacked online
- 37:11Speaker 1: for revealing that the CAD records with the computer records
- 37:14Speaker 1: reflecting where since my police officers are needed for service calls, Well,
- 37:18Speaker 1: they accurately reflected that it looks like between two hundred
- 37:21Speaker 1: and three hundred youths were running a muck smell park
- 37:24Speaker 1: all the way up to Fountain Square. She reported that
- 37:26Speaker 1: or page over on Facebook and was accused of being
- 37:28Speaker 1: a racist and making stuff up. See there you go
- 37:31Speaker 1: with AI. If you're with not hey, I rather with
- 37:34Speaker 1: social media, all you need to do is go on
- 37:37Speaker 1: and offer your opinion. Pull it out of your sphincter.
- 37:40Speaker 1: Everybody's got one. Accused Signal ninety nine of lying, making
- 37:43Speaker 1: things up, and being a racist, only to find out
- 37:46Speaker 1: that well, you in fact are the idiot, liar perhaps
- 37:48Speaker 1: and racist yourself because you're the one that deserted race
- 37:51Speaker 1: into the whole equation when no one and I mean
- 37:54Speaker 1: no one, and to this moment in time, since nobody
- 37:56Speaker 1: has any video camera evidence out about these youths running
- 37:59Speaker 1: them up, you have no idea what color their skin
- 38:01Speaker 1: is anyway, Serving the ninety nine was right Fox nineteen
- 38:05Speaker 1: Brenda or Donez following up on it this morning and
- 38:09Speaker 1: providing some of the details on it, also filling the
- 38:11Speaker 1: blanks on the curfew centers. That's kind of the subject
- 38:14Speaker 1: matter of her story. They weren't used three hundred and
- 38:17Speaker 1: eighty thousand dollars program city taxpayers are fronting, and they
- 38:21Speaker 1: did not use them at all. And according to the
- 38:27Speaker 1: reporting four one, two, three four the entire calendar year
- 38:33Speaker 1: last year, four kids were taken to these centers. A
- 38:38Speaker 1: couple of suggestions from the last hour's callers, why not
- 38:41Speaker 1: put them on the street car, You could do that,
- 38:43Speaker 1: or just put them on a metro bus. You could
- 38:46Speaker 1: do that as well. All you need is a place
- 38:48Speaker 1: to hold them, because that's nothing more than what the
- 38:50Speaker 1: curfew centers operate as a holding pen until mom, dad,
- 38:54Speaker 1: or a guardian comes and picks up the kid who
- 38:56Speaker 1: is violating the curfew. Notably, no rest at all over
- 39:00Speaker 1: the weekend. But she was right pivoting over. We have
- 39:04Speaker 1: some well developments with this memorandum of understanding Jdvans working
- 39:13Speaker 1: with the Iranian leaders, trying to get things straight into
- 39:15Speaker 1: straightened out. Speaking of straight the Straight of Horror moves
- 39:17Speaker 1: apparently is open and flowing. Gas prices are oil prices
- 39:21Speaker 1: down below eighty dollars a barrel, and according to the
- 39:24Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal reporting, Iran has already sent some three
- 39:27Speaker 1: billion dollars in crude oil through the Straight of Horror
- 39:30Speaker 1: moves and traffic has been shifted to the Iranian controlled
- 39:37Speaker 1: transit route. Other vessels going dark, which is what they
- 39:41Speaker 1: did before the deal. But the Iranian transit route, I
- 39:44Speaker 1: guess that's through it that takes some closest to Iran
- 39:47Speaker 1: may be a safe zone where there are no mines,
- 39:50Speaker 1: but the preconditions for getting a ship through those Iranian
- 39:56Speaker 1: controlled lanes you have to ask Iran for forty eight hours,
- 40:00Speaker 1: provide rather around forty eight hours advance notice, and get
- 40:03Speaker 1: Iranian insurance. The IRTI insurance isn't going to cost anything
- 40:09Speaker 1: for sixty days. That fee quote unquote fee. Call it
- 40:12Speaker 1: a toll if you want shake down money, protection money,
- 40:14Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, currently waived during this
- 40:18Speaker 1: sixty day negotiation period where all the other details are
- 40:21Speaker 1: going to get hammered out, including like what's going to
- 40:23Speaker 1: happen with the nuclear dust. Well, as the Journal points out,
- 40:26Speaker 1: this doesn't look like a great development. This mandatory insurance
- 40:29Speaker 1: could certainly become an actual real toll after the sixty
- 40:33Speaker 1: day window is open, and that is well, it fits
- 40:38Speaker 1: within the confines of the memorandum of understanding, so it
- 40:41Speaker 1: isn't like it's going to go away the request for access,
- 40:46Speaker 1: they note compromises the freedom of navigation. Certainly this was
- 40:49Speaker 1: international waters up until this military this war we'll call
- 40:53Speaker 1: it began. And how about permission being denied on a
- 40:58Speaker 1: ship by ship or country by country base, which would
- 41:02Speaker 1: in any given instance suit Iranian foreign policy. So as
- 41:07Speaker 1: the journal concludes, it isn't an open strait. Conditions and
- 41:10Speaker 1: limitations prevent you from calling it the international waters that
- 41:14Speaker 1: it was called prior to the conflict. Sanctions Treasury issued
- 41:20Speaker 1: broad sanctions relief yesterday for Iran's oil business for sixty days.
- 41:23Speaker 1: Again this negotiation period. The license lets the regime produce,
- 41:27Speaker 1: ship and sell its oil and petrochemicals and get all
- 41:31Speaker 1: the revenue, rather than what was going on previously under
- 41:35Speaker 1: the sanctions keeping it abroad in escrow. Some suggest this
- 41:39Speaker 1: may gut our sanctions leverage if the license is extended.
- 41:44Speaker 1: Most notably and they point out that Trump may have
- 41:46Speaker 1: difficult time putting sanctions back in place before the US elections, because,
- 41:50Speaker 1: of course we see what happens with the inflationary ripple
- 41:52Speaker 1: effect when the strait is closed. License will allow anyone,
- 41:56Speaker 1: even sanctioned conduits for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard to be
- 42:00Speaker 1: paid in United States dollars, which gives them the freedom
- 42:03Speaker 1: of using that currency abroad. Billions of dollars apparently can
- 42:08Speaker 1: now go directly to the IRGC. Which what do you
- 42:11Speaker 1: think they're going to use the money for? Some suggest
- 42:13Speaker 1: perhaps rebuilding the regimes, foreign reserves, perhaps buying weapons. Now
- 42:19Speaker 1: Ron says some of the frozen assets have been released.
- 42:22Speaker 1: This may refer to their reference to frozen assets being
- 42:25Speaker 1: released suggest that it may be these six billion dollars
- 42:28Speaker 1: that Cutter is holding. But when release, the money can
- 42:30Speaker 1: be used only to buy food in medicine. That's what
- 42:34Speaker 1: mister Vance is pointing out. They are limited to what
- 42:36Speaker 1: they can use that money for. But let's take a
- 42:38Speaker 1: lesson in fungibility of money. If the Iranians get the
- 42:41Speaker 1: six billion dollars held in Cutter and they can use
- 42:44Speaker 1: that money only for food and medicine, things that they
- 42:46Speaker 1: have to buy anyway, what does that six billion dollars do?
- 42:51Speaker 1: What frees up? Apparently a corresponding six billion dollars of
- 42:55Speaker 1: the Iranians might have weighing around somewhere that they can
- 42:57Speaker 1: use to buy whatever they damn well please money. It's
- 43:01Speaker 1: effectively all in one big pile. That you have isolated
- 43:04Speaker 1: some of the pile of money for specifically humanitarian purposes,
- 43:08Speaker 1: doesn't mean the other piles have been addressed. Hmm, how
- 43:11Speaker 1: about that now. Vance said yesterday that Iron had agreed
- 43:14Speaker 1: to allow the UN inspectors details awaiting, like can we
- 43:19Speaker 1: look at any nuclear site, or can they look at
- 43:21Speaker 1: any nuclear site? Can we go to the ones that
- 43:23Speaker 1: Iron wouldn't let us go into previously inspections on demand?
- 43:27Speaker 1: Or we have to give them months in advance notice
- 43:30Speaker 1: so they can clean up whatever we're going to inspect,
- 43:32Speaker 1: that kind of thing. All those details have yet to
- 43:34Speaker 1: be worked out, and the Iranians are kind of suggesting that, no,
- 43:39Speaker 1: we didn't agree to let them in Conflicting messages coming
- 43:43Speaker 1: out of the negotiations, and in so far as Levin
- 43:46Speaker 1: is concerned, that's still a hot issue. Vance and Trump
- 43:50Speaker 1: apparently applying pressure to Israel not to respond to the
- 43:53Speaker 1: attacks by Hezbala, and of course the Iranians promising to
- 43:57Speaker 1: put some leverage on Hebala. And they've got some new
- 43:59Speaker 1: Mechamanism in place that is supposed to be in between
- 44:02Speaker 1: the United States and the Iranians, supposed to facilitate dealing
- 44:05Speaker 1: with Israel and Hasbala details yet to be fully determined.
- 44:11Speaker 1: So not quite sure ultimately where this is going. But
- 44:16Speaker 1: I think obviously this if you look back at what
- 44:18Speaker 1: Trump originally wanted to accomplish, we don't quite have the
- 44:23Speaker 1: parameters of that winding up anymore. There will be no
- 44:25Speaker 1: regime change. Obviously, the IRGC is going to remain in
- 44:28Speaker 1: place with a certain degree. Sanctions are being lifted, So
- 44:32Speaker 1: I'll let you draw a conclusion. Is the lifting of
- 44:34Speaker 1: sanctions and basically effectively the same as as sending over
- 44:37Speaker 1: a giant pallet of a billion dollars in one hundred
- 44:41Speaker 1: dollars bills. Some are drawing that parallel six sixteen Right now,
- 44:45Speaker 1: fifty five krc DE talk stations fasten pro roofing the
- 44:48Speaker 1: best roofers around. I'm the talk station. It is six

- 44:57Speaker 1: forward to Heaven. Tom ZAWATASKI return to talk about IT
- 45:00Speaker 1: centers as a meeting the other day about that. He's
- 45:02Speaker 1: been following that very closely. That'll happen in a little
- 45:04Speaker 1: more than one hour here in the morning show. Beelfre
- 45:06Speaker 1: to give me a call if you got a topic
- 45:07Speaker 1: on your mind and pivoting over something completely unrelated anything
- 45:10Speaker 1: I've been talking about this morning. This thing really really
- 45:12Speaker 1: irks me. And anyway, the federal judge yesterday, DC federal
- 45:21Speaker 1: judge blocked the Trump administration from preventing food stamps recipients
- 45:27Speaker 1: from using the benefits buy sugary foods and drinks. Now,
- 45:30Speaker 1: there's been a lot of states that have applied for
- 45:31Speaker 1: waivers to the food the USDA SNAP program, Waivers that
- 45:35Speaker 1: will stop allowing individuals who are on SNAP from getting
- 45:40Speaker 1: soda and candy, things that have zero nutritional value and
- 45:43Speaker 1: in fact are one are some of the things that
- 45:46Speaker 1: are causing such a terrible state of health in the
- 45:48Speaker 1: United States of America. So if it's a nutrition program,
- 45:52Speaker 1: why are we buying allowing people to buy on taxpayer
- 45:55Speaker 1: dollars food that has no nutritional value, food that in
- 45:59Speaker 1: fact ruin your health. So here's the government stepping up
- 46:02Speaker 1: and saying, yes, the states that really are looking out
- 46:05Speaker 1: for the health of their residence, if you want a
- 46:07Speaker 1: waiver that allow you some discretion on what we're going
- 46:10Speaker 1: to let tax payer dollars pay pay for, then let
- 46:13Speaker 1: them have it. They're moving in the right direction. This
- 46:16Speaker 1: is something that's like, you know, they're trying to save
- 46:19Speaker 1: people from themselves. Don't give out free sugary crap. Simple concept.
- 46:29Speaker 1: Five plaintiffs argued that these restrictions would undermine their access
- 46:33Speaker 1: to food. Now that statement alone, you know, why are
- 46:36Speaker 1: we even calling sugary foods food? USDA approve these food
- 46:41Speaker 1: restriction waivers in twenty three states, allowing them to well again,
- 46:44Speaker 1: prevent snapp recipients from buying crap. Part of make America
- 46:51Speaker 1: Healthy again thing. Oh maha, maha. That's got a suspiciously
- 46:54Speaker 1: evil orange man ring to it. So let's fight against this.
- 46:59Speaker 1: The judge said, the federal defendants and the states may
- 47:02Speaker 1: have a genuine desire to improve the health of snap household. Yeah.
- 47:06Speaker 1: I think they do by encouraging healthy choices at the store,
- 47:09Speaker 1: and they can take lawful steps to meet those goals.
- 47:13Speaker 1: That's a quote from the judge in the opinion. But
- 47:17Speaker 1: what they cannot do is violate the law and their
- 47:19Speaker 1: own regulations along the way. Now, I don't have the
- 47:21Speaker 1: specific provisions of the law which she suggested are violated,
- 47:25Speaker 1: but here's here are elected officials trying to step up
- 47:28Speaker 1: and do something right for the health of their constituents.
- 47:33Speaker 1: And of course a judge comes in because plaintiffs suit
- 47:37Speaker 1: and said, no, you can't do that. What was the
- 47:39Speaker 1: argument from the plaintiffs. Plaintiffs from Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska, Tennessee,
- 47:43Speaker 1: and West Virginia quote, USDA will not be backing down
- 47:46Speaker 1: from the fight to make America healthy again. That was
- 47:48Speaker 1: the response. These plaintiffs said in the lawsuit that they
- 47:54Speaker 1: or family members rely on the restricted foods to manage
- 47:59Speaker 1: healthcare conditions such as diabetes and allergies, or to obtain
- 48:03Speaker 1: energy boosts needed to conduct their daily lives. Huh, well,
- 48:11Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw a red giant Barbis Streiss in fact
- 48:14Speaker 1: that this has some way, shape or form connection with diabetes.
- 48:18Speaker 1: I don't think Coca cola and sugary beverages are recommended
- 48:21Speaker 1: for really literally anyone, let alone someone who's struggling with
- 48:24Speaker 1: the diabetes diagnosis. But boy, I need that energy boost.
- 48:31Speaker 1: Can you do that with a cup of coffee? Attorney
- 48:36Speaker 1: for the plaintiffs at the National Center for Law and
- 48:38Speaker 1: Economic Justice Quota as saying the court's ruling is a
- 48:41Speaker 1: major step in restoring essential food assistance to the millions
- 48:46Speaker 1: of families that rely on SNAP nationwide.
- 48:49Speaker 8: See.
- 48:49Speaker 1: I don't know how person like that can live with
- 48:51Speaker 1: herself advocating for poisoning or clients. That's the only way
- 49:01Speaker 1: I can read that. Six twenty five fifty five cars

- 49:14Speaker 1: to you. You know, former Congressman Winstrip chiming in on
- 49:17Speaker 1: the food stamp issue SNAP. This is, as Secretary Kennedy
- 49:23Speaker 1: Junior said, we are making our poor sick. It's based
- 49:27Speaker 1: less on nutrition and more on calories. And some on
- 49:29Speaker 1: the other side have said, well, rich people get to
- 49:31Speaker 1: buy bad food, and as former Congressman Winstrip observes, yeah,
- 49:35Speaker 1: rich people also have to pay for their own bad health.
- 49:37Speaker 1: It's health terrible for you. And you know, there is
- 49:41Speaker 1: something to be said about having disposable income. You know,
- 49:44Speaker 1: it gives you the freedom buy stupid things. We could
- 49:46Speaker 1: go on for hours and hours and hours about all
- 49:49Speaker 1: the stupid things that rich people do and buy. Anyhow,
- 49:52Speaker 1: it's the poor choices we're trying to stop. This is
- 49:55Speaker 1: actually elected officials trying to do something in the name
- 49:58Speaker 1: of their constituents health. It's not about penalizing anybody. Listen,
- 50:03Speaker 1: everything from government comes with strings attached, and the string
- 50:06Speaker 1: attached to the SNAP program should be that the food
- 50:09Speaker 1: you put in your body actually has some measure of
- 50:11Speaker 1: nutritional value for you. Maybe you disagree or have an
- 50:15Speaker 1: opinion on that, feel free to give me a call.
- 50:18Speaker 1: We have the Cincinnati City Public school budget. They got
- 50:22Speaker 1: some cuts coming. They had a meeting yesterday. Over one
- 50:25Speaker 1: hundred staffers are part of the reduction process. It was
- 50:28Speaker 1: a four to three vote since at public school board
- 50:30Speaker 1: meeting cuts made up of eighty one central office position,
- 50:34Speaker 1: twelve social workers, ten assistant principles, and eight counselors. What
- 50:41Speaker 1: is an assistant principle anyway? Anyway, they have to make
- 50:45Speaker 1: up for a fifty eight point six million dollar deficit.
- 50:50Speaker 1: Also a fun factor learned today, We'll give props the
- 50:52Speaker 1: inquirs Grace Tucker for reporting. Since a public schools has
- 50:56Speaker 1: one of the highest rates of chronically absent students in
- 50:58Speaker 1: the entire state, maybe that has some connection to roving youths,
- 51:02Speaker 1: violating curfew and running them up around downtown Cincinnati with
- 51:06Speaker 1: any adult supervision or apparently anyone at home who gives
- 51:08Speaker 1: a crap about them being out past hours and subject
- 51:11Speaker 1: to being arrested for violating the curfew anyway. Ten percent
- 51:16Speaker 1: reduction in non personnel school items like classroom supplies, and
- 51:20Speaker 1: the elimination of the district's International Baccalaureate programs, which exists
- 51:25Speaker 1: only in a few schools. Anyhow. I don't know what
- 51:28Speaker 1: that means, but that's part of the cuts. They say.
- 51:30Speaker 1: It's technically not finished the budget, so all these cuts
- 51:34Speaker 1: need to be finalized on the board's next meeting July thirteenth,
- 51:39Speaker 1: which will apparently give the district time to calculate how
- 51:41Speaker 1: the last night's cuts will impact the rest of the budget.
- 51:46Speaker 1: Board President Craig said, none of this is new. We
- 51:50Speaker 1: have to own the fact that we've made decisions over
- 51:52Speaker 1: the last two to three years that have landed us
- 51:54Speaker 1: where we are now. So the third consecutive year CPS
- 51:58Speaker 1: has had to make reductions in IT operations. So cuts
- 52:03Speaker 1: are coming. But they also noted that the enrollment numbers
- 52:06Speaker 1: are down. Huh, people going to private schools choosing to
- 52:13Speaker 1: homeschool their children maybe a better option for you. It's
- 52:16Speaker 1: something worth considering. Courting Hamilton County Court records Tyler Black,
- 52:20Speaker 1: who's thirty four years old from Harrison, now facing charges
- 52:23Speaker 1: of aggravated vehicular homicide, vehicular manslaughter, and failure to stop
- 52:27Speaker 1: after an accident. Booked into the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office
- 52:30Speaker 1: or jail rather Sunday. Hamlin County Municipal Court Judge Dante
- 52:35Speaker 1: Johnson set the bail at forty thousand dollars. Ten percent
- 52:38Speaker 1: means you can get out four thousand dollars anyway. According
- 52:41Speaker 1: to police, he was driving a twenty twenty to Toyota
- 52:45Speaker 1: Tundra recklessly speeding when he hit Jeffrey Muse as mister
- 52:51Speaker 1: Muse was legally operating his bicycle on the one thousand
- 52:54Speaker 1: block of Harrison Avenue. Impact of the crash caused Mews
- 52:58Speaker 1: to get knocked off his bike. Black stopped at a
- 53:01Speaker 1: nearby parking lot. According to the records, a bicyclist hat
- 53:04Speaker 1: was seen stuck in the front of his truck, where
- 53:08Speaker 1: it fell off and landed at the when he hit
- 53:11Speaker 1: a parking curb. He moved his trucks a few times
- 53:13Speaker 1: in a lot. At one point a passenger got at
- 53:15Speaker 1: removed pieces from the front of the vehicle before getting
- 53:19Speaker 1: back in. According to the Affidavid, I guess that was
- 53:21Speaker 1: pieces of the other guy's bike, according to mister Black's attorney.
- 53:27Speaker 1: Mister Black says he did not know he hit Mews
- 53:30Speaker 1: and that he worked with his attorney to turn himself
- 53:33Speaker 1: in after learning the man had died. Veskers wrote that
- 53:36Speaker 1: the truck later left a lot heading west on Harrison Avenue.
- 53:39Speaker 1: They got security footage from multiple locations showing exactly that
- 53:43Speaker 1: he did take off and what had happened in the
- 53:45Speaker 1: parking lot. They also have witness statements about the vehicle's
- 53:48Speaker 1: direction to travel after the crash, as well as flock
- 53:52Speaker 1: camera footage. Welcome to George Orwell nineteen eighty four. I
- 53:56Speaker 1: don't care where you are, you're gonna get caught on
- 53:58Speaker 1: video camera. Just keep that in mind before you start
- 54:01Speaker 1: going out and trying to be an idiot or doing
- 54:03Speaker 1: things like fleeing the scene of an accident, which is
- 54:06Speaker 1: in and of itself a crime. Look, this guy got
- 54:08Speaker 1: charged for it. Six thirty five Right now at fifty
- 54:10Speaker 1: five KRC the talk station. Get yourself some odor, eggsit problem.
- 54:13Speaker 7: Deep talk station.
- 54:16Speaker 1: Hey six forty here at fifty five KRC talk station.
- 54:22Speaker 1: If you're having a very very Happy Tuesday. Stick around
- 54:25Speaker 1: Tom Zawistowski on the AI Centers. That'll be at seven thirty.
- 54:28Speaker 1: We're gonna be talking to the inside scoops bright Bard
- 54:31Speaker 1: News London deputy editor Kurt Zendalka, who were talking about England.
- 54:35Speaker 1: The Prime Minister ker Starmer resigned the other day. They've
- 54:37Speaker 1: had like seven prime ministers in the last fifteen minutes. There,
- 54:40Speaker 1: we'll find out what that means, what's going on in
- 54:42Speaker 1: England and maybe a more conservative individual's prime minister. I
- 54:46Speaker 1: don't know, they're talking about some socialist leaning guys, probably
- 54:48Speaker 1: gonna get the nod. Anyway, we'll get the Daniel Davis
- 54:50Speaker 1: deep dive of the latest on the Iranian situation. There
- 54:53Speaker 1: have been developments straight of horror moves open but Ron
- 54:57Speaker 1: got some sanctions relief, and some people are drawing parallels
- 55:00Speaker 1: between that and the palette of cash that the Obama
- 55:03Speaker 1: administration dropped on the Iatola's front door. So anyhow, I'm
- 55:08Speaker 1: getting a big kick out of all these reports about
- 55:10Speaker 1: the Olympic athletes from around the world really having a
- 55:13Speaker 1: good time and enjoying US culture. They're amazed at the
- 55:16Speaker 1: abundance of what we've got here. They walk in with
- 55:18Speaker 1: their eyes bulging out at the amazing array of assortment
- 55:22Speaker 1: of products and goods at your Walmarts and your BUCkies.
- 55:26Speaker 1: People impressed by those BUCkies for some reason. And ranch
- 55:30Speaker 1: dressing too. I thought that was hilarious. My mom brought
- 55:32Speaker 1: that one up the other day. I can't believe the
- 55:34Speaker 1: all the foreigners. They've just discovered ranch dressing for the
- 55:37Speaker 1: first time and they love it so just Hey, United
- 55:41Speaker 1: States apparently not nearly as bad a place as the
- 55:44Speaker 1: world is left to believe. That's kind of the takeaway
- 55:46Speaker 1: from all these articles about the athletes and their experiences here.
- 55:49Speaker 1: You know what I was of the impression this place sucked.
- 55:52Speaker 1: Everything I read in the global news print and everything
- 55:55Speaker 1: on social media says the United States is irreparable, and
- 55:57Speaker 1: then it's terrible and people hate each other and there's
- 56:00Speaker 1: gun violence everywhere and the people are rude. Nope, apparently not.
- 56:07Speaker 1: Actually turns out we're pretty good, and you know what
- 56:09Speaker 1: they bring with them their own lived experience, and they're
- 56:11Speaker 1: probably comparatively poor countries. Maybe that's why there's so many
- 56:18Speaker 1: exclamations about the abundance that we have here and what
- 56:21Speaker 1: is so readily available that isn't readily available anyplace else
- 56:24Speaker 1: should go in the world. Huh, maybe we do have
- 56:27Speaker 1: it better here, So listen to what they have to say. Again,
- 56:31Speaker 1: they have lived an experience outside of the United States.
- 56:33Speaker 1: I think we have just become too accustomed to the
- 56:35Speaker 1: unbelievable bounty that we enjoy here. That is success, folks.
- 56:40Speaker 1: Maybe not perfect, but a damn sight better than most
- 56:43Speaker 1: every place else. And you know, you got to give
- 56:45Speaker 1: credit to Donald Trump for cleaning up Washington, DC. Another
- 56:48Speaker 1: thing that it's making the rounds on social media and
- 56:51Speaker 1: so impressed many people are with how clean Washington is
- 56:57Speaker 1: and all of the video of fountains that are actually
- 57:00Speaker 1: running with water for the first time since like the
- 57:02Speaker 1: Obama administration, those things have been dried up. Residents of
- 57:06Speaker 1: the city have never seen water in them. As a
- 57:08Speaker 1: woman who lived there, I saw her in her comments
- 57:10Speaker 1: on social media. She's lived there for a couple of
- 57:12Speaker 1: years and at no time has she gone by one
- 57:14Speaker 1: of the parks she was at has she seen any
- 57:16Speaker 1: water flowing like Look, it's gorgeous it is. And while
- 57:24Speaker 1: Donald Trump is, you know, the victim of well vandalism,
- 57:28Speaker 1: he does his best to make the reflection pull in
- 57:30Speaker 1: front of the Lincoln Memorial, cleaning it up. It had
- 57:32Speaker 1: looked horrific for so many years, trying to present a
- 57:35Speaker 1: good image for the United States while it celebrates its
- 57:37Speaker 1: two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, and who lives in Washington,
- 57:42Speaker 1: d C. Let's just paint with a broad brush. Politically speaking,
- 57:45Speaker 1: this is not you know, the strike zone for Donald
- 57:50Speaker 1: Trump and magat is it. Look at the elections in
- 57:54Speaker 1: Washington DC, ninety five plus percent Democrat. It's been Democrat forever.
- 57:59Speaker 1: These are filled with Democrats who were getting the benefit
- 58:01Speaker 1: of Donald Trump cleaning the place up. And did he
- 58:04Speaker 1: come out ask for a whole lot of money. I'm
- 58:06Speaker 1: not sure where the funds came I came up with
- 58:08Speaker 1: where he came up with the money to restore all
- 58:10Speaker 1: these monuments and you know, clean the pond out and
- 58:13Speaker 1: get water running in the various fountains and monuments. But
- 58:18Speaker 1: he's done it. And he also had get cracked down
- 58:22Speaker 1: on crime. And that's another thing that a lot of
- 58:23Speaker 1: the residents were talking about. Look when I would come
- 58:25Speaker 1: out to this particular park, it was filled with homeless encampments,
- 58:29Speaker 1: feces everywhere, tents all over the place, it was a
- 58:32Speaker 1: horrific place to be, so much so that I never
- 58:34Speaker 1: even bothered to come by this park. Look at it now,
- 58:39Speaker 1: video camera of clean streets and sidewalks, people smiling and
- 58:45Speaker 1: enjoying themselves. Sixteen hundred and ninety five lights have been fixed.
- 58:52Speaker 1: One and forty three benches have been rehabbed or installed.
- 58:58Speaker 1: Hundreds and hundreds of instances of graffiti have been cleaned up.
- 59:04Speaker 1: Two hundred and fifty truckloads a debris hauled from the
- 59:06Speaker 1: carp pond at Constitution Gardens, two one hundred and fifty
- 59:13Speaker 1: truckloads from one site that didn't happen overnight. One fifty
- 59:22Speaker 1: two homeless encampments have been removed. One hundred and fifty
- 59:25Speaker 1: and a half tons of pothole repair material have been used.
- 59:29Speaker 1: Maybe the city of Cincinnati could learn something how the
- 59:31Speaker 1: Washington DC was able to fix its potholes. One hundred
- 59:36Speaker 1: and thirty four rat resistant trash cans have been installed.
- 59:39Speaker 1: Forty five monuments and memorials have been cleaned. Of those
- 59:43Speaker 1: a lot of the damage done by the militant leftists
- 59:45Speaker 1: who are protesting in Washington d C. I might happily
- 59:48Speaker 1: interject there. Twenty eight statues cleaned, twenty two fountains have
- 59:51Speaker 1: been repaired, and six statues have been installed. The place
- 59:56Speaker 1: is beautiful for a change, and it's been decades since
- 59:59Speaker 1: it's look this great. It's a great benefit to the
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: residents of Washington, DC, and well, at least it makes
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: me proud to be an American knowing that when those
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: wonderful folks from all around the world show up, maybe
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: for FIFA or anything else they happen to be here for,
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: we've got something we can be proud of, not a disgusting, unkempt,
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: overrun with homeless, crime ridden capital, which of course any
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: visitor from outside the United States would take that home
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: with them. Man, they can't even keep their capital looking
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: nice and proud to display. So yeah, that's a win
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: in the Trump column without question. Just wonder if the
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: residents of DC, given their political affiliation and leanings, will
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: be bothered to at least give them credit for that.
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: Six forty six right now, fifty five KRSTY talk station Mike,
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: I'll take care to see the talk station six fifty
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: one at fifty five KRC detalk station fifty five cars
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: dot com. You tryheart media app. I heard that stream
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: the audio and all the iHeart content wherever we happen
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: to be or to stream the audio directly from fifty
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: Have carecy dot com, get your podcasts, and all the
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: other information like you know, shoots infest over this past weekend.
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: That information was there as well. That's what Joe Streker does.
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: One of the talents EXECUTI producer Joe Strecker does. He
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: are the phones. I think Mike for holding over the break, Mike,
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: Welcome to the program. Good to hear from you today.
- 1:01:16Speaker 10: Hi, Brian, about the all the World Cup fans in
- 1:01:22Speaker 10: the country. They're amazed by everything we hear in the US,
- 1:01:24Speaker 10: And uh, I kind of understand why we didn't have
- 1:01:27Speaker 10: one in that game in Cincinnati because our infrastructure is
- 1:01:30Speaker 10: horrible and our streets are but uh, it'd have been
- 1:01:34Speaker 10: nice to have a couple of games here because they
- 1:01:37Speaker 10: didn't get a chance to try Skyline or gold Star
- 1:01:39Speaker 10: and they'd had their minds blown by Jungle Gems.
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: Oh yeah, good call, Mike. Absolutely, I love Jungle Gyms,
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: great store. Yeah, got a lot to be proud of
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: here in the greatest Cincinnatio. They just well took care
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: of what they have to take care of rather than
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: you know, moving on to another project and building something else,
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: some new, bright and shiny object worthy of a ribbon
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: cutting ceremony. Look what we did while everything else falls apart,
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: wash rinse, repeat, kind of like this sincein public school
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: budget in a certain way five on three seven fifty
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: five hundred, eight hundred and eight two three talk, let's
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: see here looking for that. There's kind of two related
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: stories here. First off, and if the Democrat social of
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: America party is the platform is solidified. And the more
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: and more you hear one of these Democratic Socialists running
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: for Congress or any of the elected office, they're all
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: embracing the same policy principles. They're solidified. And you're the
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: one I found out the other day from the Democratic
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: Socialist of America their own party platform, which is literally
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: to rewrite the Constitution. Now ask yourself this question. You
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: elect and vote for a Democratic Socialist, how can that
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: person if they follow the Democratic Socialists of America platform,
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: how can that person with a straight face or be
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: being truthful pledging to uphold the Constitution In the United
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: States of America, it's a typical oath of office. Law
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: enforcement officers make the pledge, Judges make the pledge and
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: elected officials make the pledge. I pledged to uphold the
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: Constitution the United States of America. It's kind of a
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: critical component of the role in the job, isn't it.
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: So If you are a democratic Socialist for America and
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: you are in favor of undermining the constitution, rewriting it,
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: you know, getting rid of senators being elected, getting rid
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: of the president being elected, and turning all of those
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: roles over to Congress, that's not our constitution. Packing the
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: Supreme Court. They may have the flexibility to do it,
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: but that's part of the whole package there with the DSA.
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: I ask you that because it's an important, I think
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: a critically important thing to contemplate. One of the platforms
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: also a trans bill of rights? Is this trip really necessary?
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: We got a new one here. Mel at Kiros described
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: as a socialist congressional candidate challenging the income a Democrat.
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: See the Democrat party is moving further and further left
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: of the Democrat Representative Daghetty Colorado's first congressional districts. She
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: thinks there is a need for a transgender bill of rights.
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: We'll give you your quote, like we're actually updating the
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: website right now, her website parathetically, I read all of
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: our policy page a year ago now, but we're updating
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: it this week and some of the things that we're
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: adding in. There also a trans Bill of Right calling
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: for greater force in pushing the transgender agenda, saying, you know,
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: I think we have to be so forceful and clear
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: and aggressive and our protection and our advocacy for the
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: trans community, especially for trans kids. She claims there are
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: ballot measures in Colorado coming up that she considers to
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: be just horrific and absolutely destructive for young trans kids. Specifically,
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: there's something called out there, Initiative number ten, which is
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: designed to prevent surgical intervention on young people who are
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: right confused about where they are, you know, from a
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: biological standpoint apparently, but also from a gender standpoint. You know,
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: young kids really don't have all the information, are ill
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: equipped to make these unbelievable, long lasting, absolutely permanent decisions
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: about their body and whether or not to saw off
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: or sew on genitalia. Yeah, you might want to prevent
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: kids from going down that road, that is, protecting children
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: allow them to reach the age of emancipation, where you know,
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: like all of us as adults, we can make stupid
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: decisions or maybe an appropriate decision. This person running for
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: public office following the Democratic Socialist America platforms thinks that
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: children are not worthy of those protections, and that evildoers
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: like Joseph Mengela who are in the business of lopping
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: off or swing on as the case maybe Genitalia and
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: then trying to convince the person that that actually changed
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: their gender. They're out there. It's a business, and I
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: think children need to protect it from them. And she
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: also has the whole issue confused a little bit or
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: a lot said, I think I think it's incoment upon
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: us to be proactive in this fight. I think we've
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: been on the defensive, and I think there are Democrats
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: that have been that have even considered abandoning our solidarity
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: and our advocacy for the gay community, particularly for trans
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: people and trans kids. And for that, I would say
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: that you're not a Democrat. I'd say you're an idiot woman,
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: because being trans has nothing to do with the gay community.
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: Trans does not suggest which particular sexuality you are. Gay,
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: that of course refers to men who are interested in
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: men from a sexual standpoint, Lesbian we all know what
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: that means. B is by means go always right. Trans
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: is gender related issues has no connection with your sexuality.
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: So you have advocates for this, you know, going after
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: children and mutilating them, who don't even understand the arguments
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: that they're making. Six fifty seven fifty five KR s
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: the talk station time after the top of the our
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: news to talk before we get to tom z about
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: the data center meeting he went to last week.
- 1:07:13Speaker 9: I'll be right back the iHeartRadio app where we put
- 1:07:31Speaker 9: seven oh six at fifty five KRCD talk.
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: Station by Thomas right here. Glad to be got a
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: phone omber if you want to call five one three,
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eight two
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: three talk or pound five fifty on AT and T phones,
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: head on over to fifty five KRC dot com. If
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: you missed the Christopher Smitheman Smith event yesterday All Lives
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: Matter and of course talked a little bit about Signal
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: ninety nine. That was kind of the story I let
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: off with this morning, because yes, she was right signal
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: ninety nine on Facebook. If you want to find out
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: what's going on behind the scenes and the reality of
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: crime in downtown Cincinnati, amongst certain subject matters that she
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: and what the collective that make up Signal ninety nine are.
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: Then head on over to Signal ninety nine on Facebook
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: and see her posting. The one that she was accused
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: of being a racist about most recently was what Christopher
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: was talking about. She merely was passing along information that
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: was not reported in the media that on Friday night
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: we had massive gang of youths running a monk between
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: Smell Park and Fountain Square, and that there was no
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: mention of it in the news. Or because there was
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: no mention of the news, she got criticized because people, well,
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: opinions are like sphincter as. Everybody's got one, and social
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: media allows you to voice them, even if you are
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: an idiot invoicing it. Notably, they accused her of being
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: a liar that see, there's nothing in local news reporting
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: about these youths running a mauk, it can't be true,
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: and then also saying she was racist for saying that
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: these kids were running around without even mentioning what the
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: race of the kids are. She didn't know, No one knows,
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: it's not been reported, so that was kind of a
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: reveal right there, and as it turns out, well Fox
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: nineteen did report on it, Brenda or don Nez pointing
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: out that yeah, this did in fact happen, relying on
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: Signal ninety nine posts which include the CAD information with
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: the behind the scenes calls that were going on on
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: this system. It's all there and that's what Signal ninety
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: nine posts in support of her. Well point that these
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: kids were running around and nobody ended up getting arrested.
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: And according to the reporting, ken Kober was interviewed on
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: this and twenty five officers had to deal with between
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: two and three hundred people. And the corollary point that
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: the article makes is that not a single child was
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: taken to any of the curfew centers which were recreated
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: as a consequence of three hundred and eighty thousand dollars
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: program that was created to build these curfew centers, otherwise
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: establish them. Take the kids to the curfew centers and
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: leave them there until mom, dad, or a guardian shows up.
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: That's the point of them. It's a holding facility. Not
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: one of them used. And apparently a lot of these
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: two to three hundred children fell within the curfew violation category,
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: meaning they were under a and could be subject to
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: getting cited. No, no, we don't do that. We put
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: them in a curfew center away for mom and dad
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: to show up, but that didn't happen. Ken Cobra pointed
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: out logistically it was a little impossible with only twenty
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: five officers having to deal with this massive crowd. It's
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: impossible to take officers away from the quote unquote crime
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: scene or wherever this activity is and put them in
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: a cruiser or otherwise allow them to be the transport
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: mechanism to get the kids of the curfew center. So
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: they went unused. Like last year. Only four juveniles were
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: taken to the curfew centers last year the entire calendar year.
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: So therein lies a challenge and a problem. But proving
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: signal ninety nine right, And I don't know if Brenda
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: heard me yesterday. Well, hey, here's a story the local
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: news can follow up on find out if this is
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: true or not. Yes, it is, And back over to
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: Ken Cover FOP president talking about the the reason we
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: have crime in downtown since say, most notably juvenile crime.
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: He said, well, failures within the criminal justice system. I'll
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: stop for a moment and figure out, how do we
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: get our heads in our hands around the juvenile crime?
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: What can government possibly do? You know, program here, program there,
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: And we've been overwhelmed with non governmental organizations and programs
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: designed to deal with, among other infinite number of categories,
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: juvenile violence. Can that really solve a problem which I
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: believe is directly relatable to the child's home life, parents
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: who don't care that they're out at two o'clock in
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: the morning running around. That is the only place that
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: I see that is a viable option for correcting a problem.
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: Get parents engage. I know that's a massive ask, but
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: what else can be solved? What else can be done
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: to actually address the situation? Fixing the criminal justice system?
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: And Ken Cobra pointed it out failures within the criminal
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: justice system, repeat offenders should face stronger consequences. Amen speaking
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: with their speaking with wcpo's Valory Lines, you say, you know,
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: you look at every one of the suspects, and I'm
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: sure these latest ones are going to be no different.
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: He's referring to the murders that took place, four people
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: dead over and several others injured over the weekend. So
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: this transcends, you know, juvenile violence. But it's still a
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: legitimate point. They're all people that are no strangers to
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: the justice system that have been convicted of violent crimes before,
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: he said, Decisions involving prosecution, sentencing, and bail all contributing
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: factors into continued violence. Until something tightens up with the
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: judicial system, we're going to see more of this, which
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: obviously is a welcome opportunity for the residents of the
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: city to start voting for well prosecutors and judges who
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: are tough on crime. You know, outse the current head
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: of the juvenile court system, for example, who seems to
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: be some liberal, massive liberal who doesn't think children should
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: be held accountable for the crimes they commit. It's the
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: important leg of the criminal justice system. Crime punishment is
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: a deterrent to crime, you know. Oddly, this is one
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: of the points that Governor de Wine made about wanting
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: to eradicate the death penalty. It doesn't act as a
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: deterrence because it's used so infrequently that no one even
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: believes it's ever gonna happen to them. I think that's
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: a legitimate point. But if you don't prosecute and hold
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: people accountable who have committed crimes, most notably recidivist criminals.
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: Then the word gets out it's a soft on crime county.
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: No one's going to be held accountable. Judges don't even
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: issue a bond. And if you do get convicted, well,
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: the likelihood of your doing some serious time or anything
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: that's going to act as a deterrent to other would
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: be criminals not likely going to happen in the in
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: Hamilton County. So can you fix the problem to a
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: certain extent? Absolutely, it is going to require well, unaware,
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: informed electorate who's willing to get up and vote in
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: November and elect judges and prosecutors and anybody else connect
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: with the criminal justice system that believes that that is
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: an important leg of the justice system. The deterrent component,
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: which is prosecution imprisonment heavy finds whatever the crime command
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: demands by way of punishment, meet it out. Beyond that,
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: I don't think there's a program in the world that
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: can solve that. Oh, we're gonna have curfew centers. That's
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: gonna work. Now you're not going to use them. Oh,
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: we're going to issue library cards to young people. And
- 1:14:35Speaker 1: then we find out that the library is a hotbed
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: for violence. Oh that works, you get more of them
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: in there, parents who care, and a justice system that performs.
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: I think those are the only two things that we
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: can navigate at this point, and I know the first
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: one is an impossible. Well, from my standpoint, if you
- 1:14:55Speaker 1: have a child and you bring into this world, my
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: experience is that that person, that young person, your child,
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: means the world to you. You'll do anything for that child.
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: You wanted to set them on the straight and air,
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: you wanted to do well in life. You make sure
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: they go to school, that they're well fed, You read
- 1:15:12Speaker 1: to them, you take care of them, you love them,
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: you know where they are. At least you tried your
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: best efforts. And knowing my childhood, I know that parents
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: aren't aware of everything you're doing. But you know what,
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: like I said earlier in the program with someone called
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: about that, what would have happened to me if I'd
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: have gotten caught? Yeah, I do know absolutely, And that
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: thought was in the back of my mind at every
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: moment in time when I was a child, that I
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: was thinking about doing something that would get me in trouble. Ooh,
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: if I get caught, I'm going to have hell to
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: pay from mom and dad. Well, in the absence of
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: a home life where parents are normal, responsible, do care
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: about their children, do have rules in place to try
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: to prevent them from going out and doing stupid things.
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: The criminal justice system right in many form. But if
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: you don't have that in a home, something's got to
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: be a substitute for it, and that is the criminal
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: justice system. Once word gets out that you're no longer
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: going to get a free pass, I think you'll see
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: the crime rates drop, most notably among the juveniles. I
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: would argue it's at least worth trying, because I certainly
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: don't remember any period in time in my life where
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: these these roving gangs were a constant problem. Thanks to
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: social media, you've made it so easy for these folks
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: to get together on a Moment's noticed seven fifteen right now,
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: Iffy five KRC the talk station. I got a wreck
- 1:16:42Speaker 1: A strong recommendation for station seven twenty here if you
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: have KRC DE talk station, Happy Tuesday, Tom's Awastowski, we
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: the people can mention coming out next, we're talking about
- 1:16:53Speaker 1: the Ohio Data centers. You went to a meeting last
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: week and gond of let us know what happened at
- 1:16:58Speaker 1: that meeting, and I remind you, folks at the coalition
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: circulating petitions to allow you to vote on banning artificial
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: intelligence in the state of Ohio. They didn't get enough
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: signatures yet to make it on the ballot this year,
- 1:17:10Speaker 1: but they're going to continue to gather signatures and try
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: to put it on the ballot next year. Accord to
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: the reporting I read, you need four hundred and thirteen
- 1:17:16Speaker 1: thousand or so signatures to make the ballot, and of
- 1:17:19Speaker 1: course you got to get a lot more than that
- 1:17:21Speaker 1: to ensure that they're all valid. So good luck with that.
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: And I say that with my tongue in my cheek
- 1:17:25Speaker 1: because I think it's a pretty dumb idea, and I
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: know Tom shares my sentiment in that interesting observation I saw,
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: Because obviously we're dealing with the Iranian situation, the memoranda
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: of understanding and the straight up horn moves now allegedly open.
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: But to Ron talking about charging insurance fees and demanding
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: or forty eight hours notice in advance sanctions relief are
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: already there, and their money's going to be flowing into
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: the Iranian coffers, and the whole issue of Lebanon thrown
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: into the memorandi of understanding. Any fool can look and
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: see that Lebanon isn't a signatory to it, and neither
- 1:17:59Speaker 1: is Israel. So the suggestion is built in that there
- 1:18:03Speaker 1: seems to be the assumption that the United States can
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: control Israel and that obviously the Iranians control has Bala.
- 1:18:10Speaker 1: I think you can make a stronger argument for the
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: latter Israel is its own independent country. Has Ball is
- 1:18:15Speaker 1: a terrorist organization relying on funding from outside sources. I
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: e Iran to even exist. Israel exists as a country
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: and they're not a party to the deal. And that's
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: something Avigdor Lieberman And if you don't know who that is,
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: I didn't either. He's the head of the Israeli BNT
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: party candidate for Prime minister. He also previously served as
- 1:18:33Speaker 1: Defense and Foreign and Finance minister for the State of Israel.
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: So his point is, I mean the headline captures Israel
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: isn't a party of the Iran deal. We will continue
- 1:18:43Speaker 1: to defend ourselves against a tax on the Islamic Republican
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: as terrorist proxies. Now he runs into a problem with this.
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: Now it sounds like a fine idea. Look, Israel can
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: do whatever the hell at once. But Israel is almost
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: completely reliant on the United States, and there lies the
- 1:19:00Speaker 1: challenge because we control the weaponry, don't we not all
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: of it, but a lot. But he talks about, you know,
- 1:19:08Speaker 1: we must tell Washington that we're not going to accept
- 1:19:11Speaker 1: any link between Iran and Lebanon. We're not party to that.
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: We don't know where the hell that came from. We
- 1:19:15Speaker 1: know from experience a sanctioned relief in our Iran means
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: a mass armament in Lebanon. We will not tolerate that.
- 1:19:21Speaker 1: We must establish a new military equation visa the Irani right.
- 1:19:24Speaker 1: Should the Islamic Republic attack the State of Israel, our
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: forces will destroy carg Island as well as the port
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: of bandar Abbas, including all their infrastructure. In other words,
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: we're going to go directly at the Iranians if they
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: come after us, which I think is fair, But he
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: points out this new reality, i e. We are going
- 1:19:42Speaker 1: to do whatever it takes to serve Israel's best interest,
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: whether it's bombing Hasbala over in Lebanon or going directly
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: after the Iranians if they launch at us. You know,
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: screw you Americans. We're going to do what we want,
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: what's in our best interests. That's a philosophical point, that's fine,
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: but he points out to address the this new reality,
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: the Israeli Defense establishes must create a missile corps within
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: the Israeli Defense forces right now. To strike Iran, we
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: use US aircraft, US made munitions, US refueling aircraft. We
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: passed through the airspace of other countries and coordinate with
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: the United States. We rely on American radars and satellites. Militarily,
- 1:20:20Speaker 1: we are overly dependent upon other nations. And that sound
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: like NATO. Donald Trump's point about NATO, You guys don't
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: do anything. You have no armies, you have no military
- 1:20:29Speaker 1: You rely on us one hundred percent. He's having a
- 1:20:32Speaker 1: bit of an epiphany here along those lines. And in fact,
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: he had this idea previously when he was Defense Minister.
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: He quit after BB apparently didn't engage in military action
- 1:20:41Speaker 1: in Gaza. That was his point, making a political point.
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: He walked off the job. So he's had this idea before,
- 1:20:47Speaker 1: establishing a missile corps using only Israeli made missiles. He
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: says that'll resolve several security issues. He said we should
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: possess at least twenty thousand ballistic and cruise missiles, thirty
- 1:20:59Speaker 1: thousand unmanned on the manned aerial vehicles and drones, and
- 1:21:02Speaker 1: twenty four thousand rockets. So also listen, I don't have
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: any complaints against the Americans. Some Israelis expect US decision
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: makers to act according to Israeli interest but US decision
- 1:21:15Speaker 1: makers must act according to US interests, not Israeli ones.
- 1:21:18Speaker 1: Responsibility for defending Israel's vital interests rest with Israel alone.
- 1:21:24Speaker 1: I'm contemplating that, thinking, you know what, Yeah, isn't that
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: the way it should be? Because, of course, when your
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: own defense relies exclusively or in vast, overwhelmingly large margins
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: on the United States, then immediately the rest of the
- 1:21:41Speaker 1: world presumes it's at the US a behest that you're
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: doing anything you're doing militarily. If you have independence and
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: freedom in terms of arms acquisitions and manufacture, you don't
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: have to deal with US and we don't have to
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: deal with you. Is that an improvement? Is that a
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: step in the right direction? Certainly something worth contemplating. I
- 1:22:05Speaker 1: don't know how long it taken to put in that
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: weapons supply, but if they had their own maybe we
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: could extricate ourselves from that connection. Don't know whether that's
- 1:22:13Speaker 1: a good thing going down the road, because we've always
- 1:22:15Speaker 1: been very close friends with Israel and they have benefited
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: us immeasurably over the years and we them.
- 1:22:21Speaker 7: So.
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: It is seven point thirty here at fifty five KRCD
- 1:22:25Speaker 1: talk station. Happy Tuesday, and welcome back to the fifty
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: five Carsee Morning Show. I from We the People Convention
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: dot org. The site you should check out bookmark and
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: see what he has to say each and every day
- 1:22:37Speaker 1: and check out the podcast on a weekly basis. Welcome
- 1:22:39Speaker 1: back to the Morning Show, Tom Zawastowski.
- 1:22:42Speaker 3: Thank you for having me back.
- 1:22:43Speaker 7: Brian.
- 1:22:44Speaker 3: Good to be with you. As this crazy world just
- 1:22:47Speaker 3: keeps spinning, doesn't it. I mean you're talking about things
- 1:22:49Speaker 3: at the local level, you're talking about the national level
- 1:22:53Speaker 3: that it just seems like we can't get anything figured
- 1:22:56Speaker 3: out anymore, right, It's just there's no answers to anything anymore.
- 1:23:01Speaker 3: And that's just odd to me since I'm seventy one
- 1:23:04Speaker 3: years old, because we used to have answers, but for
- 1:23:07Speaker 3: some reason now we've got more information and less knowledge.
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: Well, and therein lies the challenge. I think it's the
- 1:23:12Speaker 1: more information problem. It's that vast jungle that is the
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: artificial I'm sorry, the Internet. You know, people connecting instantaneously,
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: strangers from across the globe, interacting with our young people
- 1:23:23Speaker 1: and children, and engaging nefarious actions along those lines, extorting people.
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: You got artificial intelligence, deep fake videos, and software. They
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: can convert a regular picture of a clothed person into
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: a newty that embarrasses young people and drives them to
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: suicide all the attendant. I mean, we could go on
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: for hours and hours and hours. It's just it's technology
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: has moved so fast we can't keep up with it.
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: And then we're left with elected officials who don't know
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: Jack's squat about it to try to put laws in
- 1:23:53Speaker 1: place that are going to save us from ourselves. Tom,
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: you had a story over the other day on your
- 1:23:56Speaker 1: website about this six circuit court upholding Ohio's age verification
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: on social media, and the reason that had to be
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: enacted is because parents don't take the time to figure
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: out that they have it within their own power to
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: prevent their children from accessing porn online. Yeah, you can
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: do it on your own parents, but apparently parents aren't
- 1:24:16Speaker 1: doing that. So we need law put in place to
- 1:24:18Speaker 1: require age verification. That's a challenge. But see this is
- 1:24:22Speaker 1: something that we could all take care of ourselves, but
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: it's just gotten too fast for us.
- 1:24:28Speaker 3: Well, and they haven't told us the truth. I mean,
- 1:24:31Speaker 3: if you watch them really epic social dilemma that aired
- 1:24:34Speaker 3: on Netflix years ago, where the people's at Twitter and
- 1:24:39Speaker 3: Facebook and you know all these social media companies, you know,
- 1:24:43Speaker 3: Instagram and snapchat on they knew what they were doing.
- 1:24:48Speaker 3: None of the people who made this software that take
- 1:24:52Speaker 3: your kids attention and controls it, they don't let their
- 1:24:56Speaker 3: kids use any of this. None of them go watch
- 1:25:00Speaker 3: the movie. They don't let their kids use any of this.
- 1:25:03Speaker 3: And we were not told or warned or given any
- 1:25:07Speaker 3: tools to protect our kids. That's why we are where
- 1:25:11Speaker 3: we are today. And it's just you know, I urge you.
- 1:25:14Speaker 3: Thank you for bringing up that story that we people
- 1:25:16Speaker 3: convention that org because if you go to that story
- 1:25:19Speaker 3: about the big win in our fight to protect children,
- 1:25:22Speaker 3: there's two links there. One is this doctor Height who
- 1:25:27Speaker 3: really came out and exposed the science, the scientific studies
- 1:25:31Speaker 3: that show that what is social media is doing to
- 1:25:35Speaker 3: our kids. It's not just their mental health, Like every
- 1:25:38Speaker 3: single day some teenage girl kills themselves because of this.
- 1:25:43Speaker 3: It's killing kids. And then the second one is a
- 1:25:46Speaker 3: very in depth podcast with Jordan Peterson and doctor Heide
- 1:25:51Speaker 3: talking about how does this happen? And it's not just
- 1:25:54Speaker 3: hurting kids, it's hurting adults. Brian, I was an avid
- 1:25:59Speaker 3: reader my whole I would read a book in a day.
- 1:26:02Speaker 3: I consume books now that I got to go through
- 1:26:05Speaker 3: social media, but you do for our job to understand
- 1:26:09Speaker 3: what's going on. I can't read anymore, Brian, my attention.
- 1:26:14Speaker 3: It's changed literally the wiring of my brain, and I
- 1:26:18Speaker 3: can't read like I used to read.
- 1:26:21Speaker 1: You know what, Tom, I cannot thank you enough for
- 1:26:23Speaker 1: saying that out loud because I have been contemplating that myself.
- 1:26:28Speaker 1: I haven't said it out loud. I haven't mentioned on
- 1:26:30Speaker 1: the Morning Show, but I feel the same way you
- 1:26:32Speaker 1: go in I mean one of my favorite books of
- 1:26:34Speaker 1: all time, Brothers Caramant's Up by Field or Dost. I
- 1:26:36Speaker 1: ask you if I sat down with that thing right now.
- 1:26:38Speaker 1: You're right. The way we read and how we consume
- 1:26:41Speaker 1: information for our jobs, I might underscore, really makes it
- 1:26:45Speaker 1: a massive challenge to sit still and dive into something
- 1:26:49Speaker 1: that that is that intellectually well superior at least in
- 1:26:53Speaker 1: terms of literature from my perspective. But it's just it's
- 1:26:55Speaker 1: not an easy read by comparison to some you know,
- 1:26:57Speaker 1: boiled down AI created article about news event that's going on.
- 1:27:02Speaker 3: Yeah, so what's the career's the connectrum? So the problem
- 1:27:06Speaker 3: is that yes, we have more access to information, but
- 1:27:11Speaker 3: we also have more propaganda and lies and you know,
- 1:27:15Speaker 3: like Dave Hatter, I mean I listened to them one
- 1:27:17Speaker 3: year show religiously. And the problem is every time we
- 1:27:21Speaker 3: figured a way to stop the bad guys, the bad
- 1:27:23Speaker 3: guys have ten more ways to hack us and attack us.
- 1:27:26Speaker 3: How do we turn the tide on that because it's
- 1:27:30Speaker 3: going to destroy us? And that article about you know,
- 1:27:33Speaker 3: Ohio's law is critical to saving our kids and really
- 1:27:38Speaker 3: saving our nation because Brian we don't have workers because
- 1:27:42Speaker 3: his brains are literally being changed by this when they
- 1:27:45Speaker 3: get access too early and they're they're literally not forming
- 1:27:49Speaker 3: their brains so they can think as adults. Our nation
- 1:27:52Speaker 3: is at stake here. These are serious things, but who
- 1:27:55Speaker 3: gets to talk about them only on this show?
- 1:27:57Speaker 1: Quite frankly, well, I envision a tobacco stuff litigation because
- 1:28:01Speaker 1: for all the years tobacco country companies were had their
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: hands on and knew about the dangers of cigarettes smoking,
- 1:28:06Speaker 1: yet they tried to negate that in the public. They
- 1:28:08Speaker 1: did the research, they had the documents behind the scenes,
- 1:28:11Speaker 1: they were aware of the dangerous nature of the product,
- 1:28:14Speaker 1: and yet we were lied to. So sounds to me
- 1:28:17Speaker 1: like Facebook and the other social media companies are painfully
- 1:28:20Speaker 1: aware of and perhaps designed the technology to addict children,
- 1:28:24Speaker 1: are aware of the dangers that's done. So I'm not
- 1:28:26Speaker 1: quite sure if there's a litigation that's already been filed
- 1:28:28Speaker 1: along those lines, or if that can ultimately work to
- 1:28:31Speaker 1: our advantage.
- 1:28:33Speaker 3: Listen, there was a big court decision just two months
- 1:28:36Speaker 3: ago in California. For the first time, Meta was found
- 1:28:39Speaker 3: guilty of intentionally capturing this girl, and the woman wanted
- 1:28:44Speaker 3: got six million dollars settlement. And there's thousands of lawsuits
- 1:28:48Speaker 3: now queued up. So guess what Meta is doing. Oh,
- 1:28:51Speaker 3: Meta is lobbying Congress to make them exempt from any
- 1:28:56Speaker 3: state lawsuits that would make them liable for addicting children
- 1:29:01Speaker 3: to social media. That's what's going on right now.
- 1:29:03Speaker 1: Well, let's be I'd be very interested in seeing that
- 1:29:06Speaker 1: come through to fruition, because if they knew that it
- 1:29:10Speaker 1: was dangerous and it corrupted the minds, they certainly can
- 1:29:12Speaker 1: be held accountable for what I would argue will be
- 1:29:14Speaker 1: an intentional thing. If they didn't know, and only the
- 1:29:17Speaker 1: subsequent research that's come out and the actual reality of
- 1:29:20Speaker 1: what we see around us impacting our children as a
- 1:29:23Speaker 1: consequence of social media, then they have an obligation to
- 1:29:25Speaker 1: react and change the dynamics of the platform to protect
- 1:29:28Speaker 1: our children and to make it, I guess less addictive.
- 1:29:31Speaker 1: Keep the popcorn out on that one. Tom's we got
- 1:29:33Speaker 1: more to talk about an artificial intelligence. He attended a
- 1:29:36Speaker 1: meeting the other day, one of these anti AI. See
- 1:29:39Speaker 1: the talk station it's seven coming up with SEV forty two.
- 1:29:44Speaker 1: If you have caresy talk station me the people conventioned
- 1:29:47Speaker 1: dot or is that where you find to Zawastowski and
- 1:29:50Speaker 1: Tom joins the program every week talk about some issues.
- 1:29:52Speaker 1: One of the issues artificial intelligence and the genies out
- 1:29:55Speaker 1: of the bottle. Tom, as you and I pointed out,
- 1:29:57Speaker 1: there's no way you can stop or unring the bell
- 1:29:59Speaker 1: of AI. The question is whether you want to get
- 1:30:01Speaker 1: on the bandwagon enjoy some of the fruits that come
- 1:30:03Speaker 1: with it. But with AI centers come downside like power demand,
- 1:30:07Speaker 1: some water usage concerns. But it seems to me, as
- 1:30:09Speaker 1: you and I've talked about previously, Tom, all that can
- 1:30:12Speaker 1: be addressed up front. They just did it. In Texas,
- 1:30:16Speaker 1: Microsoft signed a twenty year agreement with Chevron for a
- 1:30:19Speaker 1: power plant for this West Texas Peicos, Texas AI center.
- 1:30:26Speaker 1: Permian basin gas is going to run the turbines. The
- 1:30:29Speaker 1: Permian gase basin gas is right there, and it also
- 1:30:32Speaker 1: apparently is an abundant permian natural gas often wasted because
- 1:30:37Speaker 1: pipeline capacity is limited, So they're using gas that's there
- 1:30:41Speaker 1: that otherwise would have gone unused and generating enough power
- 1:30:44Speaker 1: for this AI plant two point six to seven gigawates.
- 1:30:47Speaker 1: They expect the whole power plant to be online by
- 1:30:49Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight. Look, they got ahead of the problem.
- 1:30:52Speaker 1: The local grid will be completely unaffected by this power
- 1:30:55Speaker 1: plants use or by this AI plants use of power
- 1:30:59Speaker 1: problem solved.
- 1:31:01Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's really the key. I was talking to
- 1:31:04Speaker 3: my good friend Glenn Newman, a great patriot leader from Marietta, yesterday,
- 1:31:09Speaker 3: and he was having a meeting last night about this
- 1:31:12Speaker 3: whole issue. And the problem is, and even Mike the
- 1:31:16Speaker 3: Wine did remember the video Mike the Wine put out
- 1:31:18Speaker 3: like last week where he says, hey, you know, make
- 1:31:21Speaker 3: a good deal. You're in charge. You don't have to
- 1:31:23Speaker 3: do anything. These developers are coming to your township or
- 1:31:26Speaker 3: your city to make a deal to build a data center.
- 1:31:30Speaker 3: Hold them accountable. And there's a classic example. We got
- 1:31:33Speaker 3: a problem with energy. You got to follow He solved it.
- 1:31:36Speaker 3: The water issue. You know, this whole controversy about using
- 1:31:40Speaker 3: millions of gallons of water to cool the data centers.
- 1:31:43Speaker 3: They used to do that, they're getting pushed back and
- 1:31:46Speaker 3: now they're starting to do these closed loop systems, which
- 1:31:49Speaker 3: they'll say, there's no such thing as a closed loop system.
- 1:31:52Speaker 3: Yeah there is. It's the radiator in your car. Go
- 1:31:55Speaker 3: look at it. When was the last time you put
- 1:31:56Speaker 3: water in your car?
- 1:31:58Speaker 4: Never?
- 1:31:58Speaker 3: Okay, that's what they're building in these data centers. So
- 1:32:02Speaker 3: that's an answer. It's all about you and the community,
- 1:32:06Speaker 3: you know, holding them accountable to make it safe and
- 1:32:09Speaker 3: then make it beneficial to you. What's wrong, Brian, is
- 1:32:13Speaker 3: there are these county commissioners and people in townships who
- 1:32:18Speaker 3: own the land that the data centers are going to
- 1:32:20Speaker 3: be on or that are doing NDAs where they're not
- 1:32:22Speaker 3: disclosing that their family is going to make millions of
- 1:32:25Speaker 3: dollars from this data center. Government has actually made this
- 1:32:29Speaker 3: all worse, not better because of their lack of transparency,
- 1:32:33Speaker 3: including the wine giving tax breaks. You know what, one
- 1:32:36Speaker 3: billion dollars in tax breaks. The data centers. They don't
- 1:32:39Speaker 3: need tax breaks. They're very profitable businesses. The one in
- 1:32:42Speaker 3: Shudersville's they're not asking for anty tax breaks at all.
- 1:32:45Speaker 3: They're going to pay fifteen million dollars in property tax
- 1:32:48Speaker 3: a year. That's a good thing.
- 1:32:50Speaker 1: It is a good thing. And you know, going back
- 1:32:52Speaker 1: to this, this power plant alone that's going to power
- 1:32:55Speaker 1: this data center in Texas, it is like seven billion dollars.
- 1:32:58Speaker 1: You think you don't need tax breaks. They get seven
- 1:33:00Speaker 1: billion dollars. They can build their own power plan to
- 1:33:02Speaker 1: provide this the energy supply to run it. I think
- 1:33:04Speaker 1: they're okay from a capital standpoint, Tom.
- 1:33:08Speaker 3: Hey, let's go further again. Let's make a good deal.
- 1:33:12Speaker 3: What you're hearing a lot about is okay, you can
- 1:33:15Speaker 3: do that, but we want you to We're going to
- 1:33:17Speaker 3: require you to generate extra capacity in the electricity and
- 1:33:22Speaker 3: seed it into the grid to help the citizens right
- 1:33:26Speaker 3: self solve the problem of our horrible electric grid that
- 1:33:30Speaker 3: our public utility commissions have done nothing to fix for decades.
- 1:33:34Speaker 3: And let's get AI and eight and the tech companies
- 1:33:38Speaker 3: to help fund that.
- 1:33:40Speaker 1: What a concept, great concept, and that's one I fully
- 1:33:43Speaker 1: embrace because that might lead us to small modular reactors.
- 1:33:46Speaker 1: And everybody in my listening audience who listens knows that
- 1:33:48Speaker 1: I'm a huge fan of that concept. Abundant power, small
- 1:33:51Speaker 1: footprint and modular so they can pretty much be built
- 1:33:54Speaker 1: identically wherever they happen to be. Let's get that online,
- 1:33:57Speaker 1: pause Tom and to bring it back on and find
- 1:33:59Speaker 1: out what some of the people at the meeting about
- 1:34:00Speaker 1: this AI issue said. Don't go west. See the talk
- 1:34:04Speaker 1: station see if you're about KERCD talk station right at
- 1:34:08Speaker 1: the top of the UR News. It's gonna hit the
- 1:34:10Speaker 1: inside scoop at Bright Barton News today Kurt Zamandalka, who
- 1:34:14Speaker 1: is the Bright part News London Deputy Edit, We're gonna
- 1:34:16Speaker 1: find out what's going on with England with Kiers Starmer
- 1:34:18Speaker 1: resigning from his Labor Party position. We're else gonna get
- 1:34:21Speaker 1: the Daniel Davis Deep Dive and meantime Tom Zawastowski from
- 1:34:24Speaker 1: either People Convention dot or talking about artificial intelligence centers.
- 1:34:27Speaker 1: So are there any other complaints, tom Z? Before we
- 1:34:31Speaker 1: get to what happened at the meeting you went to
- 1:34:33Speaker 1: on AI centers. It sounds me like the the three things,
- 1:34:37Speaker 1: and I want to make sure that I'm not omitting
- 1:34:38Speaker 1: anyone complaint or concern. Energy. We talked about that in
- 1:34:42Speaker 1: last one. Water talked about that in the last one.
- 1:34:45Speaker 1: But the other one is noise, which also seems to
- 1:34:48Speaker 1: be something you could address upfront with how you build
- 1:34:50Speaker 1: the building to prevent the noise from seeping out into
- 1:34:52Speaker 1: the greater environment. But is there are there any other
- 1:34:55Speaker 1: concerns expressed by the anti AI folks? Tom Z?
- 1:35:00Speaker 3: You know, really those are the topics, right, Those are
- 1:35:02Speaker 3: the things that you know can be addressed and are
- 1:35:05Speaker 3: being addressed if you're serious. But now I'm gonna blow
- 1:35:09Speaker 3: your mind. I'm going to blow your audience's mind because
- 1:35:12Speaker 3: I'm sitting at this meeting in Schillersville Township and the
- 1:35:15Speaker 3: town hall that's sold out. There's people literally outside the
- 1:35:18Speaker 3: building yelling in the windows. Okay, and we're trying to
- 1:35:22Speaker 3: have a meeting, and I'm sitting in the back of
- 1:35:23Speaker 3: the room with my literally or figuratively my tea party
- 1:35:27Speaker 3: hat on. Right. I'm a key party guy. I care
- 1:35:30Speaker 3: about the people. And I'm looking at this and I'm
- 1:35:33Speaker 3: watching this meeting. Those are for three hours, and I'm
- 1:35:35Speaker 3: trying to say, what's wrong with this picture, what's what's missing?
- 1:35:40Speaker 3: And I couldn't figure it out, because, first of all,
- 1:35:43Speaker 3: the problem is we start at this ridiculous position of, well,
- 1:35:47Speaker 3: you should be for this data set because we promised
- 1:35:49Speaker 3: not to kill you. We're not going to poison your water,
- 1:35:51Speaker 3: we're not gonna drive you crazy with sound, and we're
- 1:35:54Speaker 3: not going to rise your electricity costs, so you should.
- 1:35:56Speaker 8: Be for it.
- 1:35:57Speaker 3: Well I don't have that now, so why should I
- 1:35:59Speaker 3: be for it? So they you say, well, the community benefits.
- 1:36:02Speaker 3: As I said, this company is going to say fifteen
- 1:36:05Speaker 3: million dollars a year in proderty taxes. The township budget
- 1:36:09Speaker 3: would be doubled. These school districts, which are a ten
- 1:36:13Speaker 3: million dollar budget, would go to fifteen million dollars a
- 1:36:15Speaker 3: year of fifty percent increase. The fire depart would get
- 1:36:18Speaker 3: a million dollars more a year. And you're saying, well,
- 1:36:21Speaker 3: that's why you should be for that. It's good for
- 1:36:23Speaker 3: the community. And then I'm sitting there and I see
- 1:36:27Speaker 3: some of these old codres get up and they're just frustrated.
- 1:36:30Speaker 3: And I realized, Brian, what's wrong is what's in it
- 1:36:34Speaker 3: for me? What's in it for the citizen? And I
- 1:36:38Speaker 3: start to say, you know what does old codres sitting there?
- 1:36:41Speaker 3: They don't want the school district to get fifteen million
- 1:36:44Speaker 3: dollars a year. They're probably pissed that they're spending ten
- 1:36:48Speaker 3: million dollars a year when they should probably only have
- 1:36:50Speaker 3: eight Who wants bigger government? Want? What does the township
- 1:36:54Speaker 3: do with double the income when there's not double the
- 1:36:58Speaker 3: roads or double the citizens?
- 1:36:59Speaker 1: Well, how about lower property taxes? How about lower property taxes?
- 1:37:03Speaker 3: Great minds think alike, Brian. So guess what I do?
- 1:37:08Speaker 3: I go and I talked to Matt Kelly, the auditor
- 1:37:11Speaker 3: of Ports County, and I said, Matt, you're on the
- 1:37:14Speaker 3: County Budget Commission, right, Brian. You know what those are.
- 1:37:18Speaker 3: It's that they're supposed to you know, it's the county otter,
- 1:37:22Speaker 3: County treasurer, county prosecutor, and they're supposed to review annual
- 1:37:26Speaker 3: tax budgets and levy requests. Well, in House Bill three
- 1:37:30Speaker 3: oh nine, which just passed, it explicitly gives budget commissions
- 1:37:35Speaker 3: power to reduce property tax levies when the revenue is
- 1:37:39Speaker 3: unnecessary or excessive. Okay, so I said, Matt.
- 1:37:45Speaker 8: Let me ask you a question.
- 1:37:47Speaker 3: If they're going to be paying these property taxes, can
- 1:37:50Speaker 3: the board say, Okay, this is money you don't need.
- 1:37:55Speaker 3: So guess what the school district. You're not going to
- 1:37:58Speaker 3: get five million dollars a year. Ex You're going to
- 1:38:01Speaker 3: get a million or two million a year. The rest
- 1:38:04Speaker 3: is going to go as a tax cut to the homeowners.
- 1:38:07Speaker 3: They are maybe as much as twenty percent. And I said,
- 1:38:11Speaker 3: could you do that? He goes, Tom, I think you're right.
- 1:38:15Speaker 3: I think we could do that. And so they're exploring
- 1:38:17Speaker 3: it right now. And at the state level, Heidie workmen,
- 1:38:20Speaker 3: our House members on the Data Center Board, She's taken
- 1:38:23Speaker 3: it to the state representatives. I think everyone that's in
- 1:38:27Speaker 3: this community that's going to do data centers needs to say, listen,
- 1:38:32Speaker 3: we need to get some.
- 1:38:33Speaker 4: Of the money.
- 1:38:34Speaker 3: We the people need to have our property taxes reduced.
- 1:38:38Speaker 3: And it's there right now to do it.
- 1:38:41Speaker 11: That could make a big change in how we look
- 1:38:43Speaker 11: at data centers, and to the extent there's some legal
- 1:38:46Speaker 11: impediment to providing the property taxpayers with some measure of relief,
- 1:38:50Speaker 11: and Columbus should get its act together and make sure
- 1:38:52Speaker 11: it's allowed.
- 1:38:55Speaker 3: It's awesome because it's coolistics. They're not going to say, oh,
- 1:38:58Speaker 3: you know, we don't want the money.
- 1:39:00Speaker 1: I know it's going to spend it.
- 1:39:01Speaker 3: So what's great is he told me our honor said,
- 1:39:05Speaker 3: they don't. They can enforce it, they can rut that's
- 1:39:08Speaker 3: the school district at all, and the data center people
- 1:39:11Speaker 3: have nothing to do with it. They pay the property taxes.
- 1:39:13Speaker 3: They say, it's this county board that says, well, now
- 1:39:16Speaker 3: here's how it's distributed, and guess what it's going to
- 1:39:19Speaker 3: be a cut in your property taxes for everyone in
- 1:39:23Speaker 3: the community. I love that idea.
- 1:39:25Speaker 1: I do too. So you got the energy, noise, water
- 1:39:27Speaker 1: problem resolved up front and when they build the building,
- 1:39:30Speaker 1: so you know you got that covered. And then of
- 1:39:31Speaker 1: course the revenue that's generated, you've got to cover it.
- 1:39:33Speaker 1: In the sense it's providing property tax relief for the
- 1:39:36Speaker 1: homeowners in the area. That's a win across. The board's
- 1:39:40Speaker 1: thinking about this.
- 1:39:41Speaker 3: You got lower property taxes, so your house value will
- 1:39:44Speaker 3: be better, and the school still gets some more money
- 1:39:46Speaker 3: so the schools will be better. So you're ability to
- 1:39:49Speaker 3: sell your house goes up knocked down because of the
- 1:39:51Speaker 3: data center. That's a big change.
- 1:39:54Speaker 1: Now, who could argue with that? I had to scream
- 1:39:56Speaker 1: out loud or one of our favorite sound bites here
- 1:39:58Speaker 1: in the Morning Show, Tom's auist We the People Convention
- 1:40:01Speaker 1: dot Org. Follow Tom throughout the week, get his weekly podcast,
- 1:40:04Speaker 1: and tune into the Morning Show every Tuesday beginning at
- 1:40:07Speaker 1: seven thirty. Tom. We'll do this again next week. I
- 1:40:09Speaker 1: hope you have a fantastic week Between now and then,
- 1:40:11Speaker 1: my friend.
- 1:40:12Speaker 3: Thank you so much. I'll be listening to hear some
- 1:40:14Speaker 3: of your callers. I'm sure they will argue with that,
- 1:40:16Speaker 3: but it'll be fun to.
- 1:40:17Speaker 1: Hear they may, but it's gonna have to be between
- 1:40:19Speaker 1: the Inside Scoop and Bright Bart News and the Daniel
- 1:40:21Speaker 1: Davis Deep Die. But I do welcome interjections for my listeneration.
- 1:40:27Speaker 1: Heyo five the fifty five CAROSENI talkstation. Happy Tuesday. It
- 1:40:33Speaker 1: is the time of week where we get the Inside
- 1:40:35Speaker 1: Scoop with Bright Bart News, and I always start up
- 1:40:37Speaker 1: by reminding my listeners you need a bookmark breit Bart
- 1:40:39Speaker 1: b R E I T B A rt dot com.
- 1:40:41Speaker 1: We got great reporting. I rely on that website regularly
- 1:40:44Speaker 1: for the reporting here on the fifty five Cars Morning Show.
- 1:40:46Speaker 1: And I love reading what bright Bart News London Deputy
- 1:40:49Speaker 1: editor Curtains and Dalka writes about he's gonna be able
- 1:40:51Speaker 1: to break this down what in the hell is going
- 1:40:53Speaker 1: on in England? Kurt, Welcome back to the fifty five
- 1:40:55Speaker 1: carsee Morning Show. It's a pleasure to have you on
- 1:40:57Speaker 1: the program today. Thanks for having me well and no
- 1:41:01Speaker 1: expert on matters political in the UK. But Keir Starmer
- 1:41:06Speaker 1: stepped down, and as I understand it, between nineteen forty
- 1:41:09Speaker 1: five and twenty sixteen, Britain had only thirteen prime ministers
- 1:41:13Speaker 1: and yet with him stepping down, this is the six
- 1:41:16Speaker 1: new face that will be a ten Downing Street in
- 1:41:18Speaker 1: only seven years. Sounds like I got a little bit
- 1:41:21Speaker 1: of turmoil going on over there, Kurt, you want to
- 1:41:23Speaker 1: break this down for a listening audience.
- 1:41:25Speaker 7: Yeah, you're completely right, Brian.
- 1:41:27Speaker 12: It's been almost like Italian level standards of political turnover.
- 1:41:31Speaker 7: I read that.
- 1:41:32Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not a compliment.
- 1:41:34Speaker 7: Either exactly exactly.
- 1:41:37Speaker 12: I think it's really been a failure of the political
- 1:41:41Speaker 12: class in Britain to represent the Brexit vote. We're exactly
- 1:41:46Speaker 12: ten years ago the people of Britain voted to leave
- 1:41:48Speaker 12: the European Union, and none of the prime ministers since
- 1:41:52Speaker 12: have really believed in that project, and I think that
- 1:41:55Speaker 12: the failure of any of them to survive is a
- 1:41:59Speaker 12: testament to that fact.
- 1:42:00Speaker 1: Well, I understand and correct me if I'm wrong, But
- 1:42:03Speaker 1: one of the reasons for the getting out and embracing
- 1:42:06Speaker 1: Brexit is immigration has been a real problem. We've had
- 1:42:11Speaker 1: the same situation gone on here in the United States.
- 1:42:13Speaker 1: I'm telling you something you already know, I'm sure, Kurt,
- 1:42:15Speaker 1: but we see it. The populace, the Brits, the citizens
- 1:42:20Speaker 1: of the United Kingdom are overwhelmed with the unchecked, unflow
- 1:42:24Speaker 1: or unchecked regular flow of illegal immigrants coming in the country.
- 1:42:28Speaker 1: If that was the reason for Brexit, and Britain did
- 1:42:30Speaker 1: vote to get out of it, how come nobody listen
- 1:42:33Speaker 1: to the main motivation of the primary motivation.
- 1:42:37Speaker 7: Yeah, that's one of the big questions.
- 1:42:39Speaker 12: I mean, obviously, even before Starmer, we had Boris Johnson
- 1:42:42Speaker 12: who got in there promising to take back control and
- 1:42:45Speaker 12: he actually flooded the country with the record levels of immigration.
- 1:42:49Speaker 12: There's some questions about maybe he did that during COVID
- 1:42:53Speaker 12: to sort of jiggle the GDP numbers a bit there,
- 1:42:58Speaker 12: just trying to save his neck, but it ultimately didn't
- 1:43:01Speaker 12: work and he got kicked out. And look, Starmer has
- 1:43:03Speaker 12: been more of the same. Starmer came in promising to
- 1:43:06Speaker 12: fix the border issues and he's overseen the most illegal
- 1:43:10Speaker 12: immigration across the English Channel out of any prime minister
- 1:43:13Speaker 12: in history.
- 1:43:14Speaker 7: So it's been a complete failure.
- 1:43:15Speaker 1: Well, I guess maybe it's a simple question for me
- 1:43:18Speaker 1: to ask this, but has anybody pressed him on why
- 1:43:21Speaker 1: he did the polar opposite of what he ran on
- 1:43:23Speaker 1: and campaigned on. If this is what BRIT's demand, how
- 1:43:26Speaker 1: come he didn't deliver. I mean, it's one thing to
- 1:43:28Speaker 1: maybe not successfully cracked down because of impediments legal or otherwise,
- 1:43:33Speaker 1: but to actually embrace this unchecked immigration is it runs.
- 1:43:38Speaker 1: It lies directly in the face of what he said.
- 1:43:40Speaker 1: So has anybody sat him down and said, listen, man,
- 1:43:42Speaker 1: why did you go that route?
- 1:43:45Speaker 7: Well, look, I.
- 1:43:46Speaker 12: Think the British public did essentially. So last month there
- 1:43:49Speaker 12: were local elections across the UK and the Sircuit. Starmer's
- 1:43:54Speaker 12: party lost a historic number of local council seats and
- 1:43:58Speaker 12: these were particular areas of the country that voted for Brexit,
- 1:44:01Speaker 12: so the North of England places in Wales. These are
- 1:44:05Speaker 12: traditionally like working class areas of the country, industrial heartlands
- 1:44:10Speaker 12: that have been voting for the left wing Labor Party
- 1:44:12Speaker 12: because they used to represent the working labor population. But
- 1:44:16Speaker 12: the reality is that Starmars Labor Party is not the
- 1:44:20Speaker 12: Labor Party of old they do. They are much more
- 1:44:23Speaker 12: like the Democrats these days, where they are much more
- 1:44:26Speaker 12: focused on urban voters, college educated voters and immigrants as
- 1:44:32Speaker 12: their main constituencies. And they have really forgot the working
- 1:44:36Speaker 12: man and women of Britain and I think that's why
- 1:44:39Speaker 12: the British public overwhelmingly voted against his party last month
- 1:44:42Speaker 12: and ultimately forced him out.
- 1:44:45Speaker 1: Now, well, my understanding is now Foraja's Reform UK party
- 1:44:49Speaker 1: is the emerging party and since the Tories and Labor
- 1:44:54Speaker 1: have led the entire country I GUS since World War One,
- 1:44:57Speaker 1: the idea that Reform UK has made such inroads. That's
- 1:45:01Speaker 1: what led to Starmer stepping down. He lost the direction
- 1:45:06Speaker 1: in the will of his own people completely.
- 1:45:08Speaker 12: And look, so Frag's party was the big winner at
- 1:45:11Speaker 12: last month's elections. They have been leading in the polls
- 1:45:14Speaker 12: over the past year, in every single poll, and I
- 1:45:18Speaker 12: think that just goes to show how unpopular the Labor
- 1:45:21Speaker 12: Party was. They were never actually voted in affirmatively, No
- 1:45:25Speaker 12: one actually voted for Starmer thinking he was an exciting politician.
- 1:45:28Speaker 12: They just voted for him because the Tories were so
- 1:45:30Speaker 12: bad before him. So I think really for Brexit to
- 1:45:34Speaker 12: finally be fulfilled in a true fashion, you need the
- 1:45:38Speaker 12: guy who led Brexit to finally get in there. And
- 1:45:41Speaker 12: so Frag's Party, I think, is in the driver's seat
- 1:45:44Speaker 12: right now. The Labor Party is going to try to
- 1:45:47Speaker 12: cling on. They're going to replace Starmer with the Manchester mayor,
- 1:45:50Speaker 12: Andy Burnham. But I have serious doubts how long he'll
- 1:45:54Speaker 12: be able to last. I'm not sure he'll be able
- 1:45:56Speaker 12: to last another two years. I think there's probably going
- 1:45:59Speaker 12: to be an early election, and if so, Nigel Farrag
- 1:46:02Speaker 12: is probably in the driver's seat.
- 1:46:04Speaker 1: Well that's actually pretty amazing thing because I have read
- 1:46:07Speaker 1: in multiple different places, most recently the Wall Street Journal
- 1:46:10Speaker 1: this morning, he has got the lowest favorability rating on
- 1:46:13Speaker 1: pretty much any politician Forage does, and yet he may
- 1:46:16Speaker 1: very well be the text Prime Minister. What of this
- 1:46:20Speaker 1: Manchester mayor Andy Berman guy you just mentioned. Is he
- 1:46:24Speaker 1: the left wing socialist, open borders kind of guy that
- 1:46:27Speaker 1: I presume he is?
- 1:46:29Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean really, what Burnham is is sort of
- 1:46:33Speaker 12: a classic like Westminster swamp creature, insider, veteran Labor Party guy.
- 1:46:39Speaker 12: He came into politics under Tony Blair in the early
- 1:46:43Speaker 12: two thousands, he served under the Gordon Brown administration, and
- 1:46:47Speaker 12: really he's a political chameleon. He'll say whatever it takes
- 1:46:50Speaker 12: to get elected. In my opinion, he's positioning himself as
- 1:46:54Speaker 12: slightly to the left of Starmer, but not all full
- 1:46:58Speaker 12: comedy like Jeremy Gorbyn, remember him. So he's trying to
- 1:47:02Speaker 12: be slightly more to the left a Starmer, and really
- 1:47:04Speaker 12: he's just boxed in. His party won't allow him to
- 1:47:07Speaker 12: do anything that will actually save the country, so because
- 1:47:11Speaker 12: they don't want him to stop immigration, they don't want
- 1:47:14Speaker 12: him to lower taxes his base, so he's kind of
- 1:47:17Speaker 12: boxed in and there's really no hope for him. He's
- 1:47:20Speaker 12: really just Starmer with brown hair and maybe a better
- 1:47:23Speaker 12: pair of glasses.
- 1:47:24Speaker 1: Do you have voting issues with the immigrant population? I mean,
- 1:47:28Speaker 1: this has been a big challenge here in the United States.
- 1:47:30Speaker 1: We have this Save Act that's being contemplated, which would
- 1:47:32Speaker 1: require mandatory verification you are, in fact a citizen of
- 1:47:36Speaker 1: the United States to vote in federal elections, which is
- 1:47:38Speaker 1: the law here in the United States. Some people are
- 1:47:41Speaker 1: against that for seemingly obvious reasons. But in the UK
- 1:47:45Speaker 1: can immigrants that recently arrive there? Are they able to
- 1:47:48Speaker 1: vote in elections? Because I guess I'm kind of wondering
- 1:47:51Speaker 1: what benefit any politician gets from embracing this problematic community,
- 1:47:56Speaker 1: given I suppose that in the UK they tax social
- 1:47:59Speaker 1: wealth services and increase housing costs and all the same
- 1:48:02Speaker 1: problems we're experiencing here. So what possible benefit can it
- 1:48:06Speaker 1: be to embrace that and run on a platform that says, yeah,
- 1:48:09Speaker 1: we love the immigrant population and we don't care about unchecked,
- 1:48:13Speaker 1: on regulated immigration.
- 1:48:15Speaker 12: Well, look, it's a long term play by both the
- 1:48:17Speaker 12: Democrats and the Left in Britain and other.
- 1:48:20Speaker 7: Countries across Europe. They know that.
- 1:48:23Speaker 12: Look, once once large swats of immigrants come in, it's
- 1:48:27Speaker 12: very hard to remove them. And they have children, and
- 1:48:30Speaker 12: they have children at a faster rate than the native population,
- 1:48:33Speaker 12: and so this is a growing demographic block in Britain.
- 1:48:37Speaker 12: It has been radically transformed over the past twenty years
- 1:48:40Speaker 12: or so.
- 1:48:40Speaker 7: Now that it's almost over.
- 1:48:43Speaker 12: Nearly one in five are immigrants, and it's gonna There
- 1:48:46Speaker 12: are projections that by twenty sixty three, the white British
- 1:48:51Speaker 12: population could be a minority in their own country. So
- 1:48:54Speaker 12: this is a long term play by the left in general,
- 1:48:57Speaker 12: I think. But as far as like voting irregularity is
- 1:49:01Speaker 12: one of the things.
- 1:49:03Speaker 7: There was an interesting.
- 1:49:03Speaker 12: Special election earlier this year up up near Manchester again
- 1:49:08Speaker 12: and what some independent observers found was this problem called
- 1:49:13Speaker 12: family voting, where an older man is going into the
- 1:49:17Speaker 12: voting box with either his wife or daughter and basically
- 1:49:22Speaker 12: telling them which box to select, And of course we
- 1:49:26Speaker 12: all know which box they are select and they're going
- 1:49:28Speaker 12: for the left wing parties.
- 1:49:30Speaker 1: And I'm just thinking a lot of voters experiencing that
- 1:49:35Speaker 1: who you're going to vote for, and whoever that you
- 1:49:37Speaker 1: know the family member says are going to vote for,
- 1:49:38Speaker 1: they go and vote for that person anyway they've done
- 1:49:40Speaker 1: with the confines of their own home. So it's a
- 1:49:41Speaker 1: problem if you take the family members to the voting
- 1:49:44Speaker 1: booth with you.
- 1:49:44Speaker 12: I guess, Look, this is mostly an issue of in
- 1:49:50Speaker 12: Islamic families where the father is basically saying you don't
- 1:49:53Speaker 12: have any say over who you get to vote if you're.
- 1:49:56Speaker 7: A female member of the family, Right.
- 1:49:58Speaker 1: I see, I get your point on Yeah, So beyond
- 1:50:02Speaker 1: cracking I use the term cracking down on immigration? What
- 1:50:05Speaker 1: else is reformed UK all about? From a political perspective,
- 1:50:09Speaker 1: I presume you also have inflationary economic issues, employment issues.
- 1:50:13Speaker 1: Kind of curious where Nigel Farage's party is on those
- 1:50:16Speaker 1: issues that are important.
- 1:50:18Speaker 12: Yeah, so I think Frage has sort of taken a
- 1:50:22Speaker 12: page out of Trump's book, That's for sure. They're both
- 1:50:25Speaker 12: long term allies, and I think one of the principal
- 1:50:29Speaker 12: objectives of the Reform Party, besides immigration, is going to
- 1:50:34Speaker 12: be energy.
- 1:50:35Speaker 7: And energy is sort of.
- 1:50:36Speaker 12: Critical to everything that is that economic right, and Britain
- 1:50:41Speaker 12: has just been completely hampered by their energy policies over
- 1:50:44Speaker 12: the past twenty thirty years. Both the Conserva so called
- 1:50:47Speaker 12: Conservative Party which are really Democrats from the nineties, and
- 1:50:50Speaker 12: the left wing Labor Party have both been committed to
- 1:50:53Speaker 12: the Green Agenda net zero by twenty fifty and what
- 1:50:57Speaker 12: that has done. They've banned fracking completely, even though they
- 1:51:01Speaker 12: have large gas fields in the middle of the country.
- 1:51:04Speaker 12: The Labor Party is shut off new licensing in the
- 1:51:08Speaker 12: North Sea where there's a lot of a lot of
- 1:51:09Speaker 12: oil and gas. That's where Norway gets a lot of
- 1:51:12Speaker 12: there oil and gas. And they're one of the wealthiest
- 1:51:15Speaker 12: per capita countries in the world. But Britain has decided
- 1:51:18Speaker 12: they go all in on green energy and it's it.
- 1:51:22Speaker 12: They have some of the highest energy prices in the
- 1:51:24Speaker 12: world as a result, and so I think that's one
- 1:51:27Speaker 12: of the main pushes of the Reform Party is saying, hey,
- 1:51:30Speaker 12: let's get let's get immigration under control, but also let's
- 1:51:32Speaker 12: get our energy prices under control, so it actually makes
- 1:51:35Speaker 12: sense to do business in Britain again.
- 1:51:38Speaker 1: Well, and I don't know if you've gotten the memo
- 1:51:40Speaker 1: in the UK yet, but a lot of people are
- 1:51:42Speaker 1: backing off of this whole idea that carbon dioxide is
- 1:51:45Speaker 1: actually bad, considering that it's plant food and plants do
- 1:51:48Speaker 1: enjoy the benefits of carbon dioxide. Trying to eliminate carbon
- 1:51:51Speaker 1: dioxide is just a nonsensical proposition anyway. But that if
- 1:51:56Speaker 1: the if the UK continues down this net zero path.
- 1:51:59Speaker 1: See what happened to Germany didn't work out real well
- 1:52:01Speaker 1: for them so far. But meanwhile, all the other major
- 1:52:05Speaker 1: industrial second World countries of the world, China, India, everybody
- 1:52:08Speaker 1: else is belching out gazillions of tons of carbon dioxide,
- 1:52:12Speaker 1: negating any effort that you might engage into to remove
- 1:52:15Speaker 1: it from the atmosphere. It is a pointless gesture. Hasn't
- 1:52:19Speaker 1: that concept gotten out into the general public. We need
- 1:52:22Speaker 1: to quit chasing our tails and trying to eliminate carbon dioxide.
- 1:52:25Speaker 12: Kurt, I completely agree with you, and I mean, it's
- 1:52:29Speaker 12: such a funny thing for Britain of all places, to
- 1:52:32Speaker 12: be doing it. They're responsible for less than one percent
- 1:52:35Speaker 12: of carbon initials globally if they if they stop, what
- 1:52:39Speaker 12: impact does it have on anybody?
- 1:52:40Speaker 7: Anyway?
- 1:52:41Speaker 12: The Chinese are going to stump their coal that, the
- 1:52:43Speaker 12: Indians are going to build their new plants, and Britain
- 1:52:47Speaker 12: is just going to become poor. And that's really a
- 1:52:50Speaker 12: lot of this project, in my opinion, has been to
- 1:52:53Speaker 12: impoverish Western economies. I don't think it's anything about any
- 1:52:57Speaker 12: sort of green altruism. It's about making countries in Europe
- 1:53:02Speaker 12: and in the West poor.
- 1:53:04Speaker 1: No question about it. I've been of that mindset for
- 1:53:06Speaker 1: a long time, Kurt, And I guess maybe the reason
- 1:53:09Speaker 1: Nigel Faraj's Reformed UK Party is growing in size and
- 1:53:13Speaker 1: strength is because of that. People are smarter than our
- 1:53:17Speaker 1: lords and masters give us credit for, Kurt. They realize
- 1:53:20Speaker 1: the jig is up. This is nothing more than an
- 1:53:23Speaker 1: effort to undermine Western capitalism.
- 1:53:27Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly.
- 1:53:27Speaker 12: And look, the two biggest issues I think Yugov did
- 1:53:30Speaker 12: a poll today in the UK are are the economy
- 1:53:34Speaker 12: and immigration, and they're almost neck and neck. And look,
- 1:53:37Speaker 12: they're they're obviously tied together. But I think, look, the
- 1:53:41Speaker 12: people are sick of of of the economic mismanagement that
- 1:53:44Speaker 12: they've been living under, especially in Britain. They've been living
- 1:53:47Speaker 12: under the highest taxes since World War Two for several
- 1:53:51Speaker 12: years now. And this is they are not recovering from
- 1:53:54Speaker 12: any major war. They are just doing this to fund
- 1:53:57Speaker 12: their their major welfare schemes, a lot of which is
- 1:54:00Speaker 12: going directly into foreigners as soon as they get off
- 1:54:03Speaker 12: a boat onto the English coastline.
- 1:54:07Speaker 7: And look, I think a lot of people are fed
- 1:54:09Speaker 7: up with it. And I think there's that's one of
- 1:54:12Speaker 7: the hopeful things.
- 1:54:13Speaker 12: About this story today as far as like Starmer getting
- 1:54:16Speaker 12: forced out and looking like there's gonna be a possible
- 1:54:20Speaker 12: reform government in the coming future, is that I think
- 1:54:23Speaker 12: there is real possibility for change. I think the same
- 1:54:26Speaker 12: thing could be said in France. I think the National
- 1:54:28Speaker 12: Rally has a good chance there. I think we are
- 1:54:29Speaker 12: going to see change.
- 1:54:30Speaker 7: It just takes a little while in Europe, but I
- 1:54:33Speaker 7: think they're going to get there.
- 1:54:34Speaker 1: And speaking of taking a little while, sort of a
- 1:54:36Speaker 1: moving target as to when Cure Starmer will actually leave
- 1:54:39Speaker 1: the post and there will be an election any idea
- 1:54:41Speaker 1: Kurtwin that might take place.
- 1:54:44Speaker 12: Yeah, it's sort of up in the air right now.
- 1:54:45Speaker 12: We're gonna have to wait and see if anybody has
- 1:54:48Speaker 12: the guts to actually challenge Burnham for a leadership contest
- 1:54:52Speaker 12: or whether he's just going to be coronated. So I've
- 1:54:54Speaker 12: heard as early as mid July Burnham could be installed
- 1:54:59Speaker 12: or could be at the beginning of September. It's really
- 1:55:01Speaker 12: going to depend on if anybody else jumps into the race.
- 1:55:05Speaker 1: Well, and at what point, at what point will Nigel
- 1:55:08Speaker 1: Farage get a shot.
- 1:55:10Speaker 12: Well, he's calling for a snap election right now, He's
- 1:55:12Speaker 12: saying Andy Burnham doesn't have any election mandate. Burnham just
- 1:55:16Speaker 12: won this special election up in Manchester with twenty five
- 1:55:19Speaker 12: thousand votes and that's all the votes he's using to
- 1:55:22Speaker 12: become Prime Minister, so he doesn't really have much of
- 1:55:25Speaker 12: a mandate. Frog is calling for an election. I don't
- 1:55:28Speaker 12: think Burnham is gonna go for it. He's going to
- 1:55:30Speaker 12: try to cling on as long as he can. But
- 1:55:33Speaker 12: i'd imagine over the next year sometime Burnham is going
- 1:55:36Speaker 12: to be forced into doing it, because I think he's
- 1:55:40Speaker 12: going to have to run into the same problems as
- 1:55:41Speaker 12: Starmer did, so i'd predict over the next year we
- 1:55:44Speaker 12: see an election in the UK.
- 1:55:46Speaker 1: You heard it from bright bart News, London Debuty ed
- 1:55:49Speaker 1: Or Curtains and Dalka Kurt A pleasure, and I appreciate
- 1:55:52Speaker 1: you breaking it down for us, since I would imagine
- 1:55:55Speaker 1: most like me are not overly familiar with what's going
- 1:55:57Speaker 1: on there. But so many parallels can be drawn with
- 1:55:59Speaker 1: British politics and American politics these days, and it's great
- 1:56:02Speaker 1: that you came on the show to talk about that.
- 1:56:04Speaker 1: We'll keep our fingers crossed for I guest Nigel Faraj,
- 1:56:07Speaker 1: and maybe some change coming to Britain and you and
- 1:56:09Speaker 1: I'll talk hopefully between now and when that day comes.
- 1:56:13Speaker 7: Looking forward to it. Thanks Ron, Thank you Kurt.
- 1:56:15Speaker 1: It is eight twenty one right now, fifty five car.
- 1:56:18Speaker 1: See the talk station pain. If you're dealing with pain,
- 1:56:20Speaker 1: and I feel sorry for you. If you are arthritis pain,
- 1:56:23Speaker 1: injury pain and you are in the I can't see
- 1:56:25Speaker 1: the talk station A twenty eight to fifty five car.
- 1:56:29Speaker 1: See the talk station. On a Tuesday, it means it's
- 1:56:31Speaker 1: time for the Daniel Davis Deep Dive. Retire Lieutenant Colonel
- 1:56:34Speaker 1: Daniel Davis providing his outstanding war analysis, most notably been
- 1:56:38Speaker 1: dealing with the Russia, or rather the situation between Iran,
- 1:56:43Speaker 1: Israel and the United States. But let me just dive
- 1:56:46Speaker 1: on over and see if we can't get an update
- 1:56:47Speaker 1: on what's going on with the Ukraine. Welcome back to
- 1:56:49Speaker 1: the Morning Show, Daniel Davis, my friend. It's always a
- 1:56:51Speaker 1: pleasure to have you on, Always.
- 1:56:53Speaker 13: A pleasure to be here, Brian, thanks for having me.
- 1:56:55Speaker 1: I saw and I find it hard to believe it, and
- 1:56:58Speaker 1: I don't know what your reaction is. The Russian Ukraine
- 1:57:00Speaker 1: quote unquote war has been going on. We're in a
- 1:57:02Speaker 1: fifth year now. I mean if, yeah, if you were
- 1:57:06Speaker 1: a betting man back when this thing first, when the
- 1:57:09Speaker 1: conflict first started, would you have ever thought it would
- 1:57:11Speaker 1: last five years? Daniel Davis, No, not a chance.
- 1:57:15Speaker 13: In fact, after I think the first year and a
- 1:57:18Speaker 13: half or so went about as one might expect. And
- 1:57:22Speaker 13: after the Ukraine side tried their big, huge offensive in
- 1:57:26Speaker 13: the summer of twenty twenty three and that failed, and
- 1:57:29Speaker 13: then Russia turned back to the offensive, I thought maybe
- 1:57:31Speaker 13: another year, that that's about all the because they had
- 1:57:35Speaker 13: spent all their offensive power the Ukraine side did. They
- 1:57:38Speaker 13: didn't have any offensive capability left. So down it's a
- 1:57:41Speaker 13: defensive and you can't win a war only on the defensive.
- 1:57:44Speaker 13: But they have survived. The drones, of course, have had
- 1:57:47Speaker 13: a big reason to slow down the Russian side, but
- 1:57:49Speaker 13: it's also been because the Russians have been incredibly risk
- 1:57:53Speaker 13: averse and they have not pressed their advantage. They have
- 1:57:55Speaker 13: not attempted a large scale offensive that might break through
- 1:58:00Speaker 13: thin lines, and there are plenty of places where the
- 1:58:02Speaker 13: lines are thin. There's many theories as to why they
- 1:58:04Speaker 13: haven't done that, but the fact is they haven't done it,
- 1:58:07Speaker 13: and the war does continue on, and I think probably,
- 1:58:10Speaker 13: as you're alluded to, there's been increasing strikes by the West,
- 1:58:14Speaker 13: by Ukraine deeper into Russia, and apparentially there was a
- 1:58:17Speaker 13: British storm shadow overnight, and Putin's comments this morning are
- 1:58:22Speaker 13: that he is, apparently at the press supposed to saying,
- 1:58:24Speaker 13: all right, I'm just gonna have to acknowledge he said
- 1:58:25Speaker 13: this out loud in public, that this is now the
- 1:58:29Speaker 13: NATO directly intervening and fighting on the behalf of Ukraine
- 1:58:33Speaker 13: in this war, and we may have to take appropriate actions.
- 1:58:35Speaker 13: I think we should not dismiss that claim, especially if
- 1:58:39Speaker 13: it's blocked up with action. I am concerned about it.
- 1:58:42Speaker 1: I'll tell you, okay, And in this particular circumstance, what
- 1:58:45Speaker 1: would appropriate actions be here? What do you think Putin
- 1:58:47Speaker 1: has in mind when he makes those utterances, Because I
- 1:58:50Speaker 1: guess I have to observe from a military perspective, if
- 1:58:53Speaker 1: we're still five years between Russia and Ukraine in a conflict.
- 1:58:56Speaker 1: I think, granted, the Ukraine is backed by a lot
- 1:58:58Speaker 1: of munitions from the West, but with no demonstrable additional progress.
- 1:59:03Speaker 1: If I can be so perjorative about my understanding where
- 1:59:05Speaker 1: we are with that one, how in the hell could
- 1:59:07Speaker 1: they take on NATO.
- 1:59:09Speaker 13: Well, a couple of things that's not commonly understood, and
- 1:59:15Speaker 13: some people actually don't even acknowledge this. But when you
- 1:59:18Speaker 13: look at what has been reported both in Russian media,
- 1:59:21Speaker 13: Ukraine media, and American media, and you know, released by
- 1:59:24Speaker 13: intelligence sources, is that the Russians in twenty twenty three especially,
- 1:59:30Speaker 13: really ramped up their defense industrial capacity and started, you know,
- 1:59:34Speaker 13: just cranking out big time numbers of drones, of missiles
- 1:59:38Speaker 13: or more artillery pieces, more artillery shells, et cetera. And
- 1:59:42Speaker 13: then you look at how many they actually used on
- 1:59:44Speaker 13: the front line. This is why I say they have
- 1:59:46Speaker 13: not really pushed hard on the front lines. They have
- 1:59:49Speaker 13: not launched a big offensive, but their production capacity has
- 1:59:52Speaker 13: continued to rise. All of the key weapon systems, whether
- 1:59:56Speaker 13: that's the Kinsol missiles, the KG one on ones now
- 1:59:59Speaker 13: the Rushtnik miss misis, and certainly all the categories of drones,
- 2:00:02Speaker 13: they've been stockpiling them because they have been perceiving. People
- 2:00:06Speaker 13: have been telling me this for years from the Russian side,
- 2:00:08Speaker 13: that they're saying, hey, we think that there's going to
- 2:00:10Speaker 13: end up being a war between US and NATO, because
- 2:00:12Speaker 13: NATO is saying it NATO was saying that there's going
- 2:00:15Speaker 13: to be war with Russia a boy twenty thirty, so
- 2:00:16Speaker 13: Russia actually was preparing. Meanwhile, NATO has not been. So
- 2:00:20Speaker 13: when you look at the weapons stockpiles, and we're talking
- 2:00:23Speaker 13: offensive and defensive map weapons ours continue have just dwindled
- 2:00:28Speaker 13: every year and Russians have concreased. So specifically to your question,
- 2:00:33Speaker 13: what Russia has been signaling of late, and some have
- 2:00:35Speaker 13: even been saying out loud on the Russian side in public,
- 2:00:38Speaker 13: is that they say, hey, it's time to take this
- 2:00:40Speaker 13: fight to the people who are supporting this war. And
- 2:00:42Speaker 13: that means that Western organizations and Western factories where they
- 2:00:47Speaker 13: make these drones, where they make these rocket motors, where
- 2:00:51Speaker 13: they have anything to do with providing capabilities to the
- 2:00:54Speaker 13: Ukraine side against Russia to kill Russian soldiers, they say
- 2:00:57Speaker 13: it's time to strike back at those. And it could
- 2:01:00Speaker 13: be that Putin has come under a lot of pressure internally,
- 2:01:02Speaker 13: by the way, for not doing these things, and now
- 2:01:05Speaker 13: he could be because of these big that the Ukraine
- 2:01:09Speaker 13: side struck Saint Petersburg during a big economic thing, and
- 2:01:12Speaker 13: that embarrassed Putin that he's been striking nat moscow Zelinsky
- 2:01:16Speaker 13: has been mocking Trump to his face just yesterday saying
- 2:01:20Speaker 13: Moscow is gonna burn, threatening stuff, and people on the
- 2:01:23Speaker 13: Russian side are saying, who's the stronger one here? Are
- 2:01:26Speaker 13: you going to do something or not? This may ironically
- 2:01:28Speaker 13: push Russia into striking into Western Europe, and I don't
- 2:01:33Speaker 13: have to tell you Article five what that might mean.
- 2:01:35Speaker 1: Yes, it does mean we would be involved in that
- 2:01:38Speaker 1: move most likely would be world War three scary proposition.
- 2:01:41Speaker 1: What of a ceasefire, though, that's being discussed. I know
- 2:01:44Speaker 1: the Ukrainians, I think they need the UN Security Council
- 2:01:47Speaker 1: to adopt a resolution for full and unconditional ceasefire. But
- 2:01:51Speaker 1: are the Russians open to discuss a ceasefire and perhaps
- 2:01:55Speaker 1: a resolution along the de facto front line, which means
- 2:01:59Speaker 1: you have to see the territory that Russia has already
- 2:02:02Speaker 1: taken over. I mean, if that's a starting point for negotiations,
- 2:02:06Speaker 1: how much more does Russia actually want in order to
- 2:02:08Speaker 1: call this conflict over and resolved? In is theory of hope.
- 2:02:12Speaker 13: Russia has been crystal clear really from the outset of this,
- 2:02:14Speaker 13: but certainly since June of twenty twenty four, that it's
- 2:02:17Speaker 13: all four of the areas that they annexed in twenty
- 2:02:21Speaker 13: twenty two, which is Zaparisia, Kirsten, Luhanskin, Donetsk, and that
- 2:02:26Speaker 13: means solid chunks, especially of the southern two provinces that
- 2:02:31Speaker 13: they have not captured. And they say, yeah, as soon
- 2:02:33Speaker 13: as you withdraw from those areas and leave and then
- 2:02:35Speaker 13: we'll go in and take it, then yaw, we can start talking.
- 2:02:37Speaker 13: But Russia has never changed their mind that they will
- 2:02:40Speaker 13: not move, they will not start with the current line
- 2:02:43Speaker 13: of contact because they said the whether any of us
- 2:02:46Speaker 13: agree or not doesn't matter. They said, we wrote into
- 2:02:48Speaker 13: our constitution that all four of those are Russian territories
- 2:02:51Speaker 13: and we can't just give it away, and we're not
- 2:02:53Speaker 13: going to. So Zelensky has been pushing really hard for
- 2:02:57Speaker 13: making the current line of contact as the de facto
- 2:02:59Speaker 13: border and then we'll start talking from there, and Russia says, yeah,
- 2:03:02Speaker 13: you could talk all day long. That's not even on
- 2:03:05Speaker 13: the table for us. So that is a Western narrative
- 2:03:08Speaker 13: of a Ukraine narrative. It's not anything that the Russians
- 2:03:10Speaker 13: are even contemplating, at least not publicly.
- 2:03:13Speaker 1: I don't know why. It seems me some parallels could
- 2:03:15Speaker 1: be drawn that conflict, and of course the situation right
- 2:03:18Speaker 1: now with the Iranians in the United States. I guess
- 2:03:20Speaker 1: I should have asked you at the outset. Is the
- 2:03:22Speaker 1: straight of horror moves open right now, Daniel Davis, because
- 2:03:24Speaker 1: it seems to change every couple of minutes. I've lost track.
- 2:03:28Speaker 13: Yeah, I literally checked just before we came on the
- 2:03:30Speaker 13: air here to see what some of these trackers are saying,
- 2:03:33Speaker 13: and it is. It's going up and down and up
- 2:03:36Speaker 13: and down. Two days ago, even though we were told
- 2:03:39Speaker 13: oil is gushing out of it from certain sources here
- 2:03:42Speaker 13: in the West, five tankers went out that day, so
- 2:03:45Speaker 13: not exactly a gush. But this morning, as of the
- 2:03:49Speaker 13: last twenty four hours, measured this morning our time, it's
- 2:03:54Speaker 13: up to nearly a third, So that's a pretty substantially
- 2:03:57Speaker 13: escal advancement of what it was is thirty, because normally
- 2:04:00Speaker 13: it between one hundred and one hundred and thirty today's
- 2:04:02Speaker 13: pre war. Apparently it's in the thirties right now in
- 2:04:05Speaker 13: the last twenty four hours, so that's positive thing. The
- 2:04:09Speaker 13: Treasury Department issued sanctions waivers, so a bunch of UK
- 2:04:13Speaker 13: of Iranian flag tankers or on their side for their
- 2:04:17Speaker 13: customers have been rolling out pretty soon. I will caution
- 2:04:21Speaker 13: though there's this claim that you know, there's we are
- 2:04:24Speaker 13: almost back to pre war levels. There's no truth to that.
- 2:04:27Speaker 13: What you have seen, and even these thirty are things
- 2:04:30Speaker 13: that have just been floating around on the Gulf all
- 2:04:32Speaker 13: this time, all these three four months, and now then
- 2:04:35Speaker 13: they're coming out. The oil in the producing countries, though,
- 2:04:40Speaker 13: is only just now starting to try and turn back on.
- 2:04:44Speaker 13: We don't even know how that's going to work. It's
- 2:04:45Speaker 13: called shut in oil. They're now starting that process to
- 2:04:48Speaker 13: see are they going to be able to produce, and
- 2:04:50Speaker 13: they can't even start producing until they get all those
- 2:04:54Speaker 13: tankers out and get new empty ones in there because
- 2:04:56Speaker 13: they still don't have anywhere to store the oil. So
- 2:04:59Speaker 13: it doesn't ma as much now is if the Gulf
- 2:05:01Speaker 13: is actually open, is it matters how much oil and
- 2:05:04Speaker 13: gas can come out, and that is still a long
- 2:05:06Speaker 13: way away.
- 2:05:07Speaker 8: Well.
- 2:05:07Speaker 1: A disturbing element of this opening of the Straight of
- 2:05:09Speaker 1: Horr moves seems to me that the Iranians are requiring
- 2:05:12Speaker 1: forty eight hours advanced notice to go through the strait,
- 2:05:15Speaker 1: and then also that the ships acquire Iranian insurance, which
- 2:05:20Speaker 1: is currently not an enforceable provision. But it's a wave,
- 2:05:23Speaker 1: it's a fee that's going to be waved now. But
- 2:05:25Speaker 1: ultimately that seems to me that they're going to start
- 2:05:27Speaker 1: charging tolls to get through the Straight of horm Moves,
- 2:05:29Speaker 1: and the Straight of Horor Moves is no longer going
- 2:05:31Speaker 1: to be an international waterway with free flow of ships.
- 2:05:34Speaker 1: Daniel Davis that that isn't one you can put in
- 2:05:36Speaker 1: the win column.
- 2:05:38Speaker 13: Well, no, President Trump categorically said was about three days ago.
- 2:05:41Speaker 13: I guess in a true social Iran will not charge
- 2:05:44Speaker 13: a fee for the sixty days, and Iran will not
- 2:05:47Speaker 13: charge a fee after the sixty days. That's what he said.
- 2:05:50Speaker 13: That's not what's in the MoU. What's in the MoU
- 2:05:52Speaker 13: that he signed is that Iran will not take charge
- 2:05:56Speaker 13: a fee. Only that word is in the text only
- 2:05:59Speaker 13: for sixty days, and then it says they're going to work.
- 2:06:02Speaker 13: Then it says Oman and Iran will determine the administrative
- 2:06:06Speaker 13: discussion after that with conversations with other GCC countries. We're
- 2:06:11Speaker 13: not even in the text. We're not even part of
- 2:06:13Speaker 13: that discussion. Nesgotiation and Iran Foreign Ministry yesterday, and I
- 2:06:18Speaker 13: think Golly Boff also went to Oman in a very
- 2:06:21Speaker 13: public meeting, and they're discussing how they are going to
- 2:06:24Speaker 13: administer the Gulf after this sixty days. So right now
- 2:06:28Speaker 13: it's definitely on a trend that they're going to control it,
- 2:06:31Speaker 13: and they are going to charge a fee according to
- 2:06:33Speaker 13: what they're saying out loud.
- 2:06:34Speaker 1: Well, and I've noted from the outset that neither hes
- 2:06:38Speaker 1: Bala or Israel, or Lebanon or even signatories to this
- 2:06:42Speaker 1: memoran of understanding. Yet the memorandum also contemplates issues going
- 2:06:45Speaker 1: on in Lebanon, and clearly we have the Israelis shooting
- 2:06:49Speaker 1: at the the Hesbala, and Hesbala shooting at the Israelis.
- 2:06:54Speaker 1: And I've been sitting over here just sort of scratching
- 2:06:57Speaker 1: my head wondering, well, how in the hell can we
- 2:06:59Speaker 1: bind Is to anything if they're not a party to
- 2:07:01Speaker 1: the agreement. So, Brian, I'll tell you that.
- 2:07:05Speaker 13: That, to me is one of the most major and
- 2:07:08Speaker 13: underrecognized failures of this entire diplomatic process, is that we
- 2:07:12Speaker 13: took a three way war US, Israel and Iran and
- 2:07:16Speaker 13: we did a two way negotiated memorandum that we didn't
- 2:07:20Speaker 13: even include. Not only did we not include the Israeli
- 2:07:22Speaker 13: side in it. According to published reports, they weren't even
- 2:07:25Speaker 13: aware of the terms of it until it went public.
- 2:07:27Speaker 13: So now then we're demanding that they adhere to our
- 2:07:32Speaker 13: what we've agreed to, and they weren't even part of
- 2:07:34Speaker 13: the discussion. And listen, you know, I've said many times
- 2:07:37Speaker 13: in here, I've got a lot of problems with some
- 2:07:39Speaker 13: of the things the IDF does and the decisions that
- 2:07:41Speaker 13: they have. But man, if you don't even include them
- 2:07:43Speaker 13: in the process, how can you possibly expect them to
- 2:07:46Speaker 13: abide about what you say? When the Israeli side has
- 2:07:49Speaker 13: gone overboard to say this is a direct national security
- 2:07:52Speaker 13: issue for our country, there's no way in hell this
- 2:07:54Speaker 13: is Israel cats the Defense Minister, Benjaminett and Yahoo. In fact,
- 2:07:58Speaker 13: even if Tolly Bennett, who wants to be the next
- 2:08:00Speaker 13: Prime Minister, he was blasting those two guys for not
- 2:08:03Speaker 13: going harder. Now, so the only debate in the Israeli
- 2:08:06Speaker 13: side is how hard are we going to go in,
- 2:08:08Speaker 13: not whether we're going to keep fighting in Lebanon. And
- 2:08:11Speaker 13: I don't know how you square that circle, because I
- 2:08:13Speaker 13: don't see any chance that that's going to work out
- 2:08:15Speaker 13: in the near term.
- 2:08:16Speaker 1: For this MoU and for Park Comedy. On this topic,
- 2:08:19Speaker 1: Daniel Davis Iran says, it's some of its frozen assets
- 2:08:22Speaker 1: have been released, and some are speculating that the six
- 2:08:25Speaker 1: billion dollars that Cutter is holding. But if released though,
- 2:08:29Speaker 1: jad Vance said, hey, hey, hey, they can only buy food,
- 2:08:31Speaker 1: medicine and the like with that. But my view of
- 2:08:34Speaker 1: money is it's fungible. It all ultimately is in one
- 2:08:36Speaker 1: big pile. And that you segregated some number of billions
- 2:08:40Speaker 1: of dollars that they must use for only humanitarian supply,
- 2:08:43Speaker 1: that just frees up any other money that they would
- 2:08:45Speaker 1: have spent on the humanitarian relief there in their own
- 2:08:47Speaker 1: country to buy whatever they want, including supporting rebels and
- 2:08:51Speaker 1: Hezbala and buying missiles and weapons, et cetera. So this
- 2:08:54Speaker 1: gives them an opportunity to rebuild their military, doesn't it.
- 2:08:57Speaker 7: Listen.
- 2:08:58Speaker 13: I fact, I think that this is well, the fees
- 2:09:01Speaker 13: are probably going to be ended up doing that in
- 2:09:03Speaker 13: this and again, don't forget this three hundred billion dollar
- 2:09:06Speaker 13: reconstruction investment fund.
- 2:09:08Speaker 7: That's that's even.
- 2:09:09Speaker 13: Separate from what you're talking about there. Ye, But I
- 2:09:12Speaker 13: think that this is just a narrative to try and
- 2:09:15Speaker 13: have the thoughts of many in America who are just
- 2:09:18Speaker 13: absolutely beside themselves that we're going to, you know, give
- 2:09:22Speaker 13: anything to the Iranian side, which of course it's not.
- 2:09:24Speaker 13: It's their money, we're just unfreezing it. But look, that's
- 2:09:28Speaker 13: what Vice President is saying. But the Iranians this morning
- 2:09:32Speaker 13: are saying, what are you talking about. We didn't agree
- 2:09:35Speaker 13: to any of that. And you can even tell when
- 2:09:37Speaker 13: it was claimed. A lot of the people are saying, well, yeah.
- 2:09:39Speaker 13: Mike Waltz was on TV last night and he was
- 2:09:41Speaker 13: asking about this, and he said, listen, you know, this
- 2:09:43Speaker 13: is a great idea. It was Jared Kushner came with
- 2:09:45Speaker 13: the idea and terrific. You talked to Katar. But if
- 2:09:48Speaker 13: you don't get buy in immediately from the Iranian side
- 2:09:51Speaker 13: and they have some kind of agreement to do this,
- 2:09:53Speaker 13: and I cannot imagine them agreeing that you're going to
- 2:09:56Speaker 13: dictate is the word Mike Waltz used last night, dictate
- 2:09:59Speaker 13: to a run how they're going to spend their money
- 2:10:01Speaker 13: and where they're going to buy stuff. That just seems
- 2:10:04Speaker 13: like you're barking up the wrong tree. I don't see
- 2:10:06Speaker 13: how that's gonna work out either.
- 2:10:08Speaker 1: I don't understand how you could possibly trace all the
- 2:10:10Speaker 1: dollars and really know ultimately where they're being spent. Anyway,
- 2:10:13Speaker 1: they've been able to avoid Yeah, they've been able to
- 2:10:15Speaker 1: avoid the oil sanctions by continuing to sell oil to
- 2:10:17Speaker 1: China all throughout this entire process. So anyhow, hey, oh,
- 2:10:21Speaker 1: and finally, I suppose they need to observe that really
- 2:10:23Speaker 1: no agreement on the nuclear material that's there. Some suggested
- 2:10:27Speaker 1: that they're going to allow international inspectors to go back in,
- 2:10:31Speaker 1: and that sounded like a good thing perhaps, but then
- 2:10:33Speaker 1: the Iranians come back the next day and say, we
- 2:10:35Speaker 1: never agreed to that.
- 2:10:37Speaker 13: Yeah. In fact, they said after the meeting, like right
- 2:10:40Speaker 13: after this eighteen hour period when jd. Vance was making
- 2:10:42Speaker 13: his statements, there was an Iranian of their Foreign ministry
- 2:10:45Speaker 13: spokesman by guy. He came out and said, we discussed
- 2:10:49Speaker 13: the nuclear issue. We made out, We laid out our position,
- 2:10:52Speaker 13: they laid out their position, but there was no negotiations.
- 2:10:55Speaker 13: That won't happen until these other issues. These first these
- 2:10:59Speaker 13: five paragraphs. Hear about sanctions, relief, rosen funds, opening the
- 2:11:03Speaker 13: straight and all that once those are settled, will start
- 2:11:05Speaker 13: that process and then we announced that there was an
- 2:11:08Speaker 13: agreement on this issue you just mentioned here in the
- 2:11:12Speaker 13: arrangement said yet there's not. So we keep having a lot.
- 2:11:15Speaker 1: Of that, a lot, and that's been going on for
- 2:11:17Speaker 1: quite some time. Daniel Davis Deep Dive find the podcast
- 2:11:20Speaker 1: where we get your podcasts. Great stuff, Daniel, appreciate you
- 2:11:23Speaker 1: coming to the program and talking about it, and we'll
- 2:11:25Speaker 1: keep our fingers crossed for positive developments by next week.
- 2:11:28Speaker 1: Keep our hopes up anyway,
