- 0:07Speaker 1: Five O five fifty five k r C detalk station
- 0:12Speaker 1: Friday Eve.
- 0:14Speaker 2: Said, no ideas, thank you TWI feeling pretty much the
- 0:32Speaker 2: same way today.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Let's see if we can sort it out together. Ryan
- 0:35Speaker 1: Thomas right here, glad to be and I'm glad to
- 0:37Speaker 1: see Judge Trecker where he belongs, right there in the
- 0:39Speaker 1: executive producer booth and encouraging people to go to fifty
- 0:43Speaker 1: five krs dot com. And you can't listen a lot.
- 0:45Speaker 1: It's important to do that because you can hear what
- 0:46Speaker 1: people have to say, and over there you can hear what,
- 0:49Speaker 1: of course, the judge of Paula Hatana had to say
- 0:52Speaker 1: about free speech for the e and not for me.
- 0:54Speaker 1: The Ohio Senate Bill fifty six HEMP kicking in tomorrow.
- 0:59Speaker 1: Beach was on the program yesterday. Yes, the owner of
- 1:01Speaker 1: Temptations and a guy who knows more about him than
- 1:03Speaker 1: any man on the planet. Personal friend of mine. Anyway,
- 1:08Speaker 1: the effort to repeal Centable fifty six failed, So if
- 1:12Speaker 1: you were hoping that enough signatures would be collected to
- 1:14Speaker 1: prevent CENTINBIL fifty six from going into effect tomorrow, well
- 1:19Speaker 1: give up. The Ohioans for Cannabis Choice campaign said sorry,
- 1:23Speaker 1: we weren't able to get the Twitter fifty thousand valid
- 1:25Speaker 1: signatures we needed by March nineteenth. So we are throwing
- 1:28Speaker 1: in the towel on that because everybody was stone Joe
- 1:32Speaker 1: is that I have no idea what's going on? Perfect
- 1:39Speaker 1: sound effect there to start the morning show, Joe, I
- 1:41Speaker 1: wasn't even doing the relatable Italian the weed problem, with
- 1:44Speaker 1: the weed issue that's going on in Ohio. Any we
- 1:47Speaker 1: remember tomorrow public smoking ban, you can't. I'm surprised that
- 1:56Speaker 1: you needed Senable fifty fifty six to prohibit smoking in cars.
- 2:00Speaker 1: I mean, if you are a weed smoker, isn't that Yeah,
- 2:08Speaker 1: you're probably gonna get pulled over and busted for driving
- 2:10Speaker 1: while intoxicated or driving under the influence what the hell
- 2:12Speaker 1: they call it these days. And the standard in Ohio
- 2:14Speaker 1: for that is crazy, because it isn't really whether you're high,
- 2:17Speaker 1: it's whether you have any of the chemicals that indicate
- 2:22Speaker 1: that at some point in time you had smoked marijuana.
- 2:25Speaker 1: So you can smoke a joint today and then next
- 2:28Speaker 1: week your blood might indicate that you smoked a joint
- 2:31Speaker 1: today March eighth, March nineteenth. In a week from now,
- 2:36Speaker 1: you're not high, and yet your blood will sow. You
- 2:39Speaker 1: have these chemicals still in your body that aren't intoxicating.
- 2:43Speaker 1: It's the THC and what breaks down. And I wish
- 2:45Speaker 1: I had the actual chemicals so I could say out
- 2:47Speaker 1: loud like, oh, it's called this but anyway, Yeah, that's
- 2:50Speaker 1: how they do it blood tests in Ohio. You get
- 2:52Speaker 1: pulled over and any of the if it just has
- 2:54Speaker 1: existed in your body at any given time, you're considered
- 2:57Speaker 1: impaired under the law. And that's actually been of hell
- 2:59Speaker 1: by the Supreme Court. I think there's legislative action to
- 3:01Speaker 1: change that, because, let's face it, you're not impaired. You
- 3:05Speaker 1: are not stoned. It's like being drunk. If alcohol still
- 3:11Speaker 1: showed up in your body in some sort of form,
- 3:14Speaker 1: that didn't mean you were impaired. It just meant that
- 3:16Speaker 1: you drank a week ago. Are you impaired?
- 3:20Speaker 3: No?
- 3:21Speaker 1: Can you walk a straight line? Can you handle a
- 3:23Speaker 1: field sobriety test? Probably, I mean unless you have some
- 3:26Speaker 1: other struggle that prevents you from dealing a field sobriety test.
- 3:30Speaker 1: So same thing with weed anyway, it's the horse of
- 3:32Speaker 1: a different cover. So don't smoke in cars, all right?
- 3:37Speaker 1: This unusual. It gives landlords the ability to prohibit smoking
- 3:40Speaker 1: and vaping in your apartment, bands outdoor venues from allowing weed,
- 3:47Speaker 1: so you can't smoke and joined at the concert. A
- 3:50Speaker 1: lot of disappointed fish fans out there. Requires all products,
- 3:55Speaker 1: I'd love this requires all products be kept in the
- 3:57Speaker 1: same package they were bought in. I just kind of
- 4:01Speaker 1: scratch my head over that one. So you go out
- 4:03Speaker 1: and buy weed and put it in a different package.
- 4:05Speaker 1: How could any arresting officer look at that package you
- 4:09Speaker 1: put it into and say, hmm, you bought that and
- 4:12Speaker 1: you repackaged it. You're under arrest. No, I grew up
- 4:17Speaker 1: myself under Ohio law. I'm allowed to grow six plants
- 4:19Speaker 1: or however many plants you can grow. You know, that's mine.
- 4:22Speaker 1: Prove that I bought at someplace else, Right, that's a
- 4:24Speaker 1: pointless gesture. Anyway. It makes it a crime to have
- 4:28Speaker 1: an open marijuana container, So if you buy it, don't
- 4:34Speaker 1: open it. So, according to the reporting, Morgan trowe over
- 4:40Speaker 1: at I don't know where he is anyway. So someone
- 4:48Speaker 1: has a bag of edibles in the backseat of a
- 4:50Speaker 1: lift or on a public bus, if has it ever
- 4:52Speaker 1: been opened, you would be breaking the law also makes
- 4:59Speaker 1: it a crime to buy out of state weed Michigan.
- 5:01Speaker 1: Friends up there, You're Ohio clientele is going to dry up.
- 5:05Speaker 1: You're not a lot across state lines under federal law
- 5:08Speaker 1: that isn't enforced. So this becomes an enforceable state provision,
- 5:11Speaker 1: thus preventing citizens, well at least under the law, from
- 5:14Speaker 1: going to Michigan where weed is cheaper to buy. I
- 5:17Speaker 1: remember the old days when people from Ohio used to
- 5:19Speaker 1: go to northern Kentucky to buy alcohol. That's called bootlegging.
- 5:23Speaker 1: I guess transporting alcohol cross state lines doesn't seem to
- 5:25Speaker 1: be a problem anymore. I know a lot of people
- 5:27Speaker 1: that go across the date line to apply through over
- 5:30Speaker 1: northern Kentucky. And this also removes protections against discrimination from housing, employment,
- 5:35Speaker 1: or even organ donation. So if you're a weed smoker,
- 5:38Speaker 1: I guess the landlord doesn't have to welcome you into
- 5:41Speaker 1: the abode. So there you go. So the signature campaign
- 5:45Speaker 1: is over and the law kicks in tomorrow. Listen to
- 5:48Speaker 1: what Beach had to say about the distinctions between marijuana
- 5:51Speaker 1: and ham and all the complications there. Fifty five kres
- 5:53Speaker 1: dot com let us see coming up with the fifty five cars,
- 5:56Speaker 1: you more sure, Congressman Warren Davidson, he'll be talking about
- 6:01Speaker 1: a variety of different topics. Of course, will the government
- 6:03Speaker 1: ever be open again? A story that's probably going to
- 6:06Speaker 1: tie into what Jay Ratliffe has to say, because yes,
- 6:08Speaker 1: the with the TSA funding dried up airports that you
- 6:14Speaker 1: may have heard it by now, you better plan to
- 6:17Speaker 1: get there early. Our lawmakers refusal to open the government
- 6:21Speaker 1: fund and you know the funny thing is DHS is
- 6:23Speaker 1: funded under the one big beautiful build. They're not going
- 6:25Speaker 1: to run out of money. Immigration enforcement will continue in
- 6:28Speaker 1: the face of the Democrats refusal to pay the TSA folks,
- 6:32Speaker 1: So they're the ones struggling and suffering under this. They're
- 6:34Speaker 1: bringing about pain for a very small number of people
- 6:37Speaker 1: in this country who aren't getting their paycheck and who
- 6:41Speaker 1: are more and more now inclined to quit the job
- 6:45Speaker 1: and who aren't going to show up for work. Listen,
- 6:47Speaker 1: if you're making forty five grand a year, I imagine
- 6:50Speaker 1: things might be a little tight. And that's my understanding
- 6:52Speaker 1: is the TSA's annual paycheck and if you're not getting that,
- 6:56Speaker 1: and maybe you live in paycheck to paycheck, and of
- 6:59Speaker 1: course can understand that you're going to have to find
- 7:02Speaker 1: an alternative source of income, meaning you're not going to
- 7:04Speaker 1: show up your TSA job. Three to four hour wait
- 7:08Speaker 1: times at certain airports is what's going on right now.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Fifty thousand TSA officers are not getting paid. That's how
- 7:15Speaker 1: many there are. More than three hundred have already quit apparently.
- 7:19Speaker 1: Of course, of the TSA. About ten percent of TSA
- 7:22Speaker 1: officers absent from work just a couple of days ago,
- 7:24Speaker 1: and again that number may increase. So the more desperate
- 7:27Speaker 1: you get financially duh, the more likely it is you're
- 7:29Speaker 1: not going to show up to work, and the longer
- 7:31Speaker 1: the way time gets. So we'll see if Jay rattlif
- 7:33Speaker 1: I heard media aviation expert has any comments on the shutdown.
- 7:37Speaker 1: That'll be at the end of the end of the
- 7:38Speaker 1: program eight thirty for that preceded by Adam Keller. He's
- 7:40Speaker 1: got an empower you seminar should be a fascinating one.
- 7:44Speaker 1: Adam Keller's been on the program many times and as
- 7:46Speaker 1: stute political observer, he is the subject matter update on
- 7:53Speaker 1: socialist efforts to change America.
- 7:57Speaker 3: OH.
- 7:58Speaker 1: You can find Adam Keller's online the website The cincinnatiexchange
- 8:02Speaker 1: dot com new destination for well what he describes as
- 8:06Speaker 1: balanced reporting designed to inform and empower the community at large,
- 8:10Speaker 1: and most notably at least providing you some measure of
- 8:13Speaker 1: insight into more conservative minded opinions and viewpoints on matters
- 8:16Speaker 1: which you are certainly not going to get in well
- 8:20Speaker 1: a lot of online media, certainly not local media, I
- 8:27Speaker 1: suppose preceded by Adam Taylor, is John Crazy doing the
- 8:32Speaker 1: power you seminar tonight on Jesse Owens. That should be
- 8:36Speaker 1: fascinating one. What an amazing, amazing athlete Jesse Owens was.
- 8:41Speaker 1: We really saw him stick it to the Nazis. Congress
- 8:43Speaker 1: Moore and Davidson, John Coreazy, Adam Taylor, Jay Rowl. If
- 8:46Speaker 1: there's your lineup this morning, you know I'd love to
- 8:48Speaker 1: hear from you five one, three, seven, four nine fifty
- 8:50Speaker 1: five hundred, eight hundred and eight to two three talk
- 8:53Speaker 1: or go with pound five fifty if you have an
- 8:55Speaker 1: AT and T phone. Moving away from some of the
- 8:57Speaker 1: more pressing issues going on, like the East to Horror
- 9:00Speaker 1: moves being shut down and more and more liquid natural
- 9:03Speaker 1: gas facilities being targeted both in Iran and outside of Iran.
- 9:07Speaker 1: The Iranians are bombing liquid natural gas too. Maybe the
- 9:10Speaker 1: world can readjust and wake up to the reality that
- 9:12Speaker 1: we need to focus on diversification. Diversification. How about that
- 9:18Speaker 1: as a concept, supply chain diversification. What do we learned
- 9:21Speaker 1: during COVID. It's a problem that we're still managing to
- 9:25Speaker 1: deal with. At least we are taking steps in the
- 9:26Speaker 1: right direction to whether on shore pharmaceuticals for example. Thankfully,
- 9:32Speaker 1: the prior Trump administration of the current one used in
- 9:35Speaker 1: all of the above energy strategy, opening up vast quantities
- 9:38Speaker 1: of oil and natural gas resources that we now are
- 9:41Speaker 1: tapped into fully prescient work? Was he all the global
- 9:45Speaker 1: warming alarmists screaming about We're all going to die? How
- 9:48Speaker 1: bad would things be if the United States didn't go
- 9:50Speaker 1: all of the above on energy policy amid the straight
- 9:53Speaker 1: of horror moves being shut down. Say what you want
- 9:56Speaker 1: about the war, it's illegal, it's lawful, it's righteous, it's immoral.
- 9:59Speaker 1: What app The reality is we find out the twenty
- 10:02Speaker 1: percent of the world's energy goes to a sixteen mile space.
- 10:05Speaker 1: How dumb is that, especially when Iran is right there.
- 10:10Speaker 1: That's one of the reasons if you don't finish this war.
- 10:12Speaker 1: You leave the Iranians in control of the country. At
- 10:15Speaker 1: any given moment, they can shut the Straight of horor
- 10:17Speaker 1: moves down, leading us in a lurch. Globally, the entire
- 10:21Speaker 1: world is reeling because of that shutdown. Huh. Don't you
- 10:27Speaker 1: think our leaders should have been a bit more forward
- 10:30Speaker 1: thinking recognizing the Iranians have been being have been well,
- 10:34Speaker 1: it's a state sponsor of terrorism and a threat generally
- 10:37Speaker 1: to the region since the Ietola took over in nineteen
- 10:40Speaker 1: seventy nine. Huh, maybe it's a bad idea. Look at
- 10:45Speaker 1: that coastline, boy, Iran has a hell of a coastline
- 10:48Speaker 1: of that golf hmm, right there at the Straight of
- 10:50Speaker 1: Horror moves. I wonder if they had a bunch of rockets,
- 10:53Speaker 1: if they could shut the straight down. Welcome to reality.
- 11:00Speaker 1: That's all the Iranians have right now. But what an
- 11:03Speaker 1: amazing power it is. And I looked over to the Germans,
- 11:07Speaker 1: Germany's foreign minister. He's warning about the Iranian war plunging
- 11:10Speaker 1: the entire world in an energy crisis. Sure, yeah, German
- 11:18Speaker 1: Foreign Minister Johann Watapool yesterday warning about the dangerous spiral
- 11:23Speaker 1: these unintended consequences. There's a real risk of escalation which
- 11:27Speaker 1: could plunge not and plunge not only this region, but
- 11:29Speaker 1: the entire world into a major crisis. Yeah, talked about
- 11:37Speaker 1: a food crisis because of the fertilizer being Maybe is
- 11:40Speaker 1: there another place we can diversify fertilizer production. I mean,
- 11:44Speaker 1: natural gas is where fertilizer comes from. We have a
- 11:48Speaker 1: buttload a national gas in that natural gas here's so
- 11:51Speaker 1: much so that we're an exporter of it. Wow. But
- 11:56Speaker 1: let me parenthetically point out the NIMBI folks probably won't
- 12:01Speaker 1: allow a fertilizer production facility in the United States anywhere.
- 12:04Speaker 1: If you can find a place for one, build it,
- 12:06Speaker 1: they will come. You won't have to rely on the
- 12:09Speaker 1: straight of hormones and get your fertilizer anymore. The rest
- 12:11Speaker 1: of the world would probably rejoice. Look, we're not gonna starve,
- 12:17Speaker 1: so we got a problem with potential starvation. Then he
- 12:21Speaker 1: also pivoted over to the worry about refuge flows, because
- 12:26Speaker 1: if you got a food crisis somewhere, Waterpool said, ah,
- 12:29Speaker 1: and that must fill us with concern for the people
- 12:32Speaker 1: who would suffer, and of course also for the resulting
- 12:35Speaker 1: refugee flows, which the European Union rit large does not
- 12:38Speaker 1: apparently care about, given that they've been inundated with refugees
- 12:42Speaker 1: from the four corners of the globe most not only
- 12:43Speaker 1: the Middle East for the last old couple of decades. Yeah,
- 12:47Speaker 1: they have a real existential christ going on, crisis going
- 12:50Speaker 1: on with regard to the protection or what's the left
- 12:53Speaker 1: of their culture. He said, We now face major risk
- 12:59Speaker 1: to work together with our partners in the United States
- 13:01Speaker 1: and Israel to find a point where the military objectives
- 13:03Speaker 1: these two have set for themselves are achieved and where
- 13:07Speaker 1: we can then move toward de escalation and the resolution
- 13:10Speaker 1: of the hostilities. Okay, while at the same time, of course,
- 13:14Speaker 1: ensuring security for the Strait of Horror Moves and the
- 13:17Speaker 1: Golf States. Gee, let's see, mister Foreign Minister Johan uh
- 13:25Speaker 1: Donald Trump asked you guys the other day, if you're
- 13:28Speaker 1: willing to commit some military resources like mind sweeping boats,
- 13:31Speaker 1: which apparently you've got to opening the Strait of Horror moves,
- 13:33Speaker 1: assisting the United States and Israel with its efforts to
- 13:36Speaker 1: reopen that strategic choke point. To ease things for your
- 13:42Speaker 1: European Union partners, You said, no huh. If you're interested
- 13:47Speaker 1: in insuring security for the Strait of Hormuves and the
- 13:49Speaker 1: Golf States, how about handing over a few mind sweepers
- 13:53Speaker 1: for that effort. Just the thought, Just the thought, five
- 13:58Speaker 1: three three, talk ton five fifty on AT and T phones.
- 14:03Speaker 1: Enjoy hearing from you if you got a comment. Got
- 14:05Speaker 1: more on that, and a whole lot more on other topics.
- 14:07Speaker 1: I'll be right back. It's never too early or too
- 14:10Speaker 1: late to get retirement on track. Friday Eve, Hey Jostrecker,
- 14:16Speaker 1: how does your grass look? Does it look like it
- 14:17Speaker 1: needs to be cut? Yes? It does, doesn't it? I
- 14:22Speaker 1: know I've been thinking about that. It's that time of
- 14:23Speaker 1: year again. Say you start cutting it and then you
- 14:25Speaker 1: got to cut it like three times a week. Stay
- 14:29Speaker 1: on top of it anyway. Congressman warn Davidson, a mission
- 14:32Speaker 1: is coming to the program at seven oh five. He
- 14:33Speaker 1: previously voted to reject the War Powers Resolution Congressman Massey
- 14:40Speaker 1: and Warren Davidson earlier in the month defeat. The House
- 14:42Speaker 1: defeated a proposal sponsored by Representative Thomas Massey. Roe Connie,
- 14:45Speaker 1: you may remember that to nineteen to twenty twelve vote
- 14:48Speaker 1: with Congressman Davidson, joining with Massey on that one, the
- 14:50Speaker 1: only two to support the measure on the Republican side. Yesterday,
- 14:53Speaker 1: the Senate defeated a Measure to Advance War Powers resolution
- 14:58Speaker 1: which would have stopped Donald Trump's authority to continue military
- 15:01Speaker 1: strikes in Iran, sponsored by Senator Cory Booker, would have
- 15:05Speaker 1: ordered Trump to remove US armed forces from hostilities within
- 15:09Speaker 1: or against Iran unless specifically authorized by a declaration of
- 15:14Speaker 1: war or a specific authorization for use of military force.
- 15:18Speaker 1: So a step in that direction, and it got shot down.
- 15:22Speaker 1: So I'm mentioned in Congressman Warren David's in reaction to
- 15:24Speaker 1: what's going on in the Senate. If it was presented
- 15:26Speaker 1: to him again in a new form, would he authorize
- 15:29Speaker 1: use of military force or not? But the complicating factor is,
- 15:32Speaker 1: once you've started the war and the conflict, what are
- 15:36Speaker 1: you gonna do? If there's no Iranian regime change, then
- 15:39Speaker 1: maybe it's much ado about nothing. Going back to my
- 15:41Speaker 1: point about the straight of horror moves, Iran still remains
- 15:44Speaker 1: in control of what is a globally disrupting chunk or
- 15:48Speaker 1: real estate. World needs a wake up to this reality,
- 15:52Speaker 1: or we let him continue the job and get the
- 15:55Speaker 1: job done to see to the extent it's possible to
- 15:57Speaker 1: get it done. Obviously, that means regime change, and more
- 16:00Speaker 1: and more they're talking about, you know, like this Car
- 16:02Speaker 1: Island gas facility, maybe even blowing it up completely, which
- 16:05Speaker 1: of course would leave the world in the lurch since
- 16:08Speaker 1: a whole lot of countries out of the world rely
- 16:10Speaker 1: on the Iranian terrorist regime to get their fuel supplies
- 16:14Speaker 1: to keep the lights on. The devil's bargain, isn't it anyway.
- 16:22Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham kind of pointed it out yesterday. He supports
- 16:24Speaker 1: regime chains. He is against this warpowers, this prohibition that
- 16:28Speaker 1: was voted on the other day. So what we can't do,
- 16:32Speaker 1: in my view, is become the commander a chief. You
- 16:33Speaker 1: can't have five hundred and thirty five people becoming the
- 16:36Speaker 1: commander in chief. And that's what the War Powers Act does.
- 16:40Speaker 1: I think he has previously suggested the War Powers Act
- 16:42Speaker 1: is unconstitutional. But after sixty days, he said, after sixty days,
- 16:47Speaker 1: if Congress doesn't approve military action, stops, And if you
- 16:50Speaker 1: read the War Powers Resolution in nineteen seventy three, that's
- 16:53Speaker 1: what it says. So TikTok, TikTok, you've got a date
- 17:01Speaker 1: certain note that there might be a thirty day extension,
- 17:04Speaker 1: which I anticipate will be used total of ninety days
- 17:08Speaker 1: to get the troops out. If there's no action by Congress,
- 17:12Speaker 1: where will we be relative to the i Rdians and
- 17:15Speaker 1: the conflict? If the clock runs out, you're going to
- 17:20Speaker 1: have to pull the troops out under US law? Or
- 17:23Speaker 1: are we going to pay fast in the list with
- 17:25Speaker 1: what the US law says, Which kind of brings me
- 17:28Speaker 1: over to the question who has standing to say that
- 17:30Speaker 1: the United States is violating its own laws and therefore
- 17:33Speaker 1: could go to court? And would the court issue an
- 17:36Speaker 1: injunction against the US military's further action. It's very complicated,
- 17:39Speaker 1: isn't it. But if the objective isn't achieved and the
- 17:44Speaker 1: law is followed, you got to pull the plug. Kind
- 17:49Speaker 1: of leaves us in a bit of a lart, doesn't it,
- 17:50Speaker 1: at least in terms of strategy is concerned. Do you
- 17:53Speaker 1: think the Iranians have Do you think they've studied the
- 17:55Speaker 1: war powers resolution? Do you think they appreciate that maybe
- 17:58Speaker 1: the clock is running and the is massive dysfunction here
- 18:01Speaker 1: in the United States of America, Whether we should even
- 18:03Speaker 1: be there or not that it's in their best interest
- 18:06Speaker 1: to force our hand into that position where look, they're
- 18:10Speaker 1: going to have to leave. Let's just try to hold
- 18:13Speaker 1: onto the regime, and we'll be a thorn in the side,
- 18:15Speaker 1: and we'll continue to threaten the straight of horror moves,
- 18:17Speaker 1: and we'll bring global pressure on the United States by
- 18:21Speaker 1: all these other countries who are dependent on us. M
- 18:24Speaker 1: let's work that to our advantage. Five twenty seven. Right now,
- 18:26Speaker 1: if you have KRC the talk station Local stories or
- 18:29Speaker 1: phone calls me right back fifty five KRC the free
- 18:32Speaker 1: I heard you five one, three, seven nine fifty two
- 18:37Speaker 1: three talk pound by fifty on AT and T phones.
- 18:39Speaker 1: My buddy Steve said it's cheaper in Indiana. I guess
- 18:42Speaker 1: he was a vert of gas. Looked up gas buddy. Yeah,
- 18:44Speaker 1: if you're around Indianapolis, it's about three twenty nine a gallon.
- 18:47Speaker 1: And uh in my neighborhood, ever, the lowest is three
- 18:50Speaker 1: seventy seven. So if you're willing to drive across the border,
- 18:53Speaker 1: maybe you can say fifty cents a gallon. Isn't it crazy? Geographically?
- 18:57Speaker 1: It's right there, my friends in Indiana, you're right there.
- 19:00Speaker 1: Enjoy the lower gas prices. I don't know why they're
- 19:02Speaker 1: lower there, but apparently you've got your act a little
- 19:04Speaker 1: bit better than we have here. And of course we
- 19:06Speaker 1: collectively here in the Midwest have our act together a
- 19:08Speaker 1: hell of a lot more than the people out in
- 19:10Speaker 1: California have to import their own gas and oil and
- 19:15Speaker 1: are paying almost six bucks a gallon. Yeah, elections have consequences, Tom,
- 19:21Speaker 1: Welcome to the program. Happy Friday Eve to you, buddy.
- 19:25Speaker 4: Good morning. I think the different gas prices has a
- 19:30Speaker 4: lot to do with the different taxes for different counties
- 19:34Speaker 4: and states.
- 19:35Speaker 1: And I didn't look behind the veneer of the fifty
- 19:39Speaker 1: price differential, but you're probably onto something, of course.
- 19:42Speaker 4: Yeah. Well I even noticed that, like back in Cincinnati
- 19:46Speaker 4: where you are, when I was driving up north into
- 19:49Speaker 4: up the Middletown, I could tell the price difference once
- 19:51Speaker 4: I got north of town into Butler County, and it
- 19:55Speaker 4: is it is a little cheaper up here.
- 19:57Speaker 1: Is that why people are leaving Hamilton County for counties
- 19:59Speaker 1: in the owning area, that they're just a little bit
- 20:01Speaker 1: better in terms of taxes and cost of living.
- 20:05Speaker 4: That may or may not have something to do with it.
- 20:07Speaker 4: Ran I I mean, look, if if people you know
- 20:12Speaker 4: use some sense and and making a move, by the way,
- 20:15Speaker 4: is a it's a big deal. It's not something that
- 20:17Speaker 4: you can get. Oh you know what, we're just gonna
- 20:19Speaker 4: move next week.
- 20:20Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, because if that was if that was
- 20:22Speaker 1: the case, I think my wife would have already pulled
- 20:24Speaker 1: the plugs from Hamilton County by now. She's she's threatened
- 20:27Speaker 1: that a lot.
- 20:29Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, there's there's a lot of good. There's a
- 20:32Speaker 4: lot of reasons to get out of Hamilton County and
- 20:34Speaker 4: and it did. Unfortunately, if you're in Cincinnati inside city limits, man,
- 20:39Speaker 4: it's that's not good. So uh yeah, the lead you know,
- 20:43Speaker 4: people need to try to use that as as a
- 20:46Speaker 4: way to let the let the their leadership know that
- 20:49Speaker 4: we're shut up with you, we're leaving. And a lot
- 20:51Speaker 4: of people are doing that and getting out of California,
- 20:53Speaker 4: getting out of New York and New Jersey and and
- 20:56Speaker 4: places like that. And uh and the Democrats that you
- 21:00Speaker 4: double down and oh, we just got to tax people
- 21:02Speaker 4: even more and then now we gotta we got to
- 21:04Speaker 4: get these the state taxes up higher, so so when
- 21:08Speaker 4: you die, we could take more of your stuff.
- 21:10Speaker 3: You know.
- 21:10Speaker 4: It's it's that, that's it It's crazy that the way
- 21:13Speaker 4: they react to it. They can't just realize, you know what,
- 21:15Speaker 4: we're we're kind of screwing ourselves here. We're you know,
- 21:18Speaker 4: we're hurting our citizens. They don't they just don't let
- 21:21Speaker 4: that sink in. Uh, they don't care. They have enough people.
- 21:25Speaker 4: And here's what it comes down to, you, Brian. They
- 21:27Speaker 4: have enough people that re elect them and keep them
- 21:31Speaker 4: in office. So what do they need to change what
- 21:33Speaker 4: they're doing for? You know? So they just keep promising
- 21:36Speaker 4: things that they can't deliver on. Some of this stuff
- 21:39Speaker 4: that they promise is impossible to do, but they just
- 21:42Speaker 4: keep promising it, and they just keep throwing money around.
- 21:45Speaker 4: Its stupid stuff, and and then people keep voting for them.
- 21:49Speaker 4: So it's it's all down to the voters. It's why
- 21:52Speaker 4: every day I keep hammering this message. The only way
- 21:55Speaker 4: we're going to get any of this stuff change is
- 21:58Speaker 4: don't vote.
- 21:58Speaker 1: Democrats do the same. And we had that survey results
- 22:03Speaker 1: just the other day, and there's been a new element
- 22:05Speaker 1: of the survey results of the City of Cincinnati, which
- 22:07Speaker 1: has done every two years. How do you feel about safety,
- 22:10Speaker 1: police and the city leadership? Since it is a local
- 22:13Speaker 1: store up pull one fun fact, speaking of on the
- 22:16Speaker 1: heels of what Tom says, and as I stare at
- 22:18Speaker 1: the permanently affixed how your neighborhood, how your neighborhood voted
- 22:23Speaker 1: for mayor in the recent November election, seems like yesterday,
- 22:27Speaker 1: but we're still talking about it. Overall effectiveness of leadership
- 22:32Speaker 1: by the city's elected officials, what percent rated excellent or good? Since,
- 22:40Speaker 1: of course they continued to they pass the torch from
- 22:43Speaker 1: the exact same administration and kept the exact same administration
- 22:46Speaker 1: with the exception of one council person, thirty percent rate
- 22:52Speaker 1: the city's leadership as excellent or good. That that's not good,
- 23:01Speaker 1: I would argue. So there you have it. Elections do
- 23:04Speaker 1: have consequences, and of course the definition of isn't the
- 23:08Speaker 1: definition of stupidity doing the same thing over and over
- 23:10Speaker 1: again and expecting a different result. Okay, well, you know
- 23:14Speaker 1: you can vote. It's an option, just sadly not too
- 23:20Speaker 1: many people exercise it. Get ready for spring, you know,

- 24:00Speaker 1: trick Alexander didn't understand that thirty three years old arrested
- 24:03Speaker 1: over the weekend for trespassing on a property in South Carolina.
- 24:08Speaker 1: One night in jail following day, brought before Judge John
- 24:11Speaker 1: Davis set bail at two hundred and fifty bucks. It
- 24:14Speaker 1: was a misdemeanor charge. He was giving back his belonging
- 24:17Speaker 1: so he could have access to his cash, which he
- 24:22Speaker 1: pulled out and handed Judge Davis three one hundred dollars bills,
- 24:26Speaker 1: advising Judge Davis to keep the change. Davis said, well,
- 24:33Speaker 1: I'm not allowed to keep the extra money. But he
- 24:35Speaker 1: then noticed the judge did that the cash didn't look right,
- 24:38Speaker 1: the color didn't look right. So he flipped over one
- 24:41Speaker 1: of the bills and that's where he saw Chinese writing
- 24:45Speaker 1: on the back of the money.
- 24:46Speaker 3: Idiots doing idiot things, because.
- 24:48Speaker 1: There idiots, no doubt about it. You think he would
- 24:50Speaker 1: just put a regular one hundred dollars bill in a
- 24:52Speaker 1: copy machine, a color copy Machine's apparently he got it
- 24:55Speaker 1: off the internet anyway. The detention officer then checked the
- 25:01Speaker 1: currency with a pen, one of this counterfeit currency pens
- 25:03Speaker 1: you see at Kruger, and confirmed that, in fact was fake.
- 25:06Speaker 1: Not the Chinese writing on it. Just didn't confirm that
- 25:09Speaker 1: out of the gate. So what happens. Hit with a
- 25:12Speaker 1: pair of new charges forgery, which is a felony, and
- 25:15Speaker 1: contempt of court. His bond increased by six thousand dollars.
- 25:20Speaker 1: It meant. Marion County, Florida, a woman arrested after she
- 25:27Speaker 1: allegedly admitted to injuring herself for the purposes of having
- 25:31Speaker 1: her boyfriend thrown in jail.
- 25:33Speaker 3: Why are you doing that?
- 25:35Speaker 1: Statement issue by the Marin County Sheriff's Office. Domestic disturbance
- 25:38Speaker 1: call ended when they put the with this woman in
- 25:40Speaker 1: jail after deputy say she allegedly injured herself and then
- 25:42Speaker 1: falsely blame her boyfriend. They responded to the home residence
- 25:48Speaker 1: and a disturbance. During the argument, deputy said Angela Walzac
- 25:52Speaker 1: intentionally hit her head on the corner of a wall,
- 25:55Speaker 1: which caused a gash very clearly shown in her mugshot.
- 26:00Speaker 1: That's going to say. She then claimed her boyfriend caused
- 26:02Speaker 1: the injury, provided a sworn written state, and deputy said
- 26:05Speaker 1: Walls later admitted that she hurt herself in an attempt
- 26:07Speaker 1: to get him arrested. She was arrested herself and taking
- 26:10Speaker 1: a jail waiting for that. Joe, Uh, don't do this.
- 26:19Speaker 1: We got a Pognon Pines, Pennsylvania. Please said a man
- 26:21Speaker 1: intentionally set multiple fires inside his town home, thereafter fleeing
- 26:29Speaker 1: the scene when that fire. When the fires, he said,
- 26:31Speaker 1: spread it in gulfed several connected units, poking original Police
- 26:36Speaker 1: responded to the uh to the structure fire. According to
- 26:39Speaker 1: the press release, police said the fire originated at six
- 26:42Speaker 1: sixteen Uncas Lane, whatever but also consumed three other connecting
- 26:46Speaker 1: town homes. When they got there, police spoke with a
- 26:49Speaker 1: Witnesses said he observed the owner of the one unit,
- 26:52Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, setting small fires within his town home throughout
- 26:57Speaker 1: the day. Mcdermam said that he needed to kill the
- 27:01Speaker 1: spiders within the residence.
- 27:04Speaker 3: Are you stupid?
- 27:05Speaker 5: Uh?
- 27:05Speaker 1: Clearly, he said. McDermott had a smoldering fire going on
- 27:09Speaker 1: the floor and then placed a love seat on top
- 27:13Speaker 1: of the fire. Witness stated he kept putting the fires
- 27:17Speaker 1: out and that McDermott kept lighting them. He stated about
- 27:21Speaker 1: he mcdernatt left the home and went to different locations,
- 27:23Speaker 1: both arriving back to find the town homes engulfed in flames.
- 27:26Speaker 1: Mcdernathan fled the scene in a U haul truck. Okay
- 27:31Speaker 1: Thorty said McDermott now wanted on charge of arson, causing
- 27:34Speaker 1: or risking catastrophe. I like that charge, criminal mischief and
- 27:39Speaker 1: recklessly endangering another person. Considered a fugitive and they're looking
- 27:43Speaker 1: for him. If you have any information, get in touch
- 27:44Speaker 1: with the cops out there to kill spiders. Yeah, and

- 28:45Speaker 1: I'll emphasize young in a hot car while she was

- 29:00Speaker 1: daughter found concealing merchandise in a trash can with the
- 29:04Speaker 1: intent to liberated from the store, of course, without paying
- 29:06Speaker 1: for it. Police said when they were arresting her, the
- 29:08Speaker 1: three year old spoke up about another child inside a
- 29:13Speaker 1: vehicle hmmm. Cord to the warrant information, Johnson gave a
- 29:17Speaker 1: fish officer's false information about where the vehicle was located.
- 29:22Speaker 1: Fischal said Walmart's staff took a look at the security
- 29:24Speaker 1: footage to figure out where her car was and when
- 29:28Speaker 1: the officers found it inside a three month old and
- 29:33Speaker 1: a two year old who were not moving and were sweating.

- 29:47Speaker 1: counts are resisting a public officer and simple possession of

- 29:57Speaker 1: a two year old inside the car.
- 30:00Speaker 6: Ferious The biggest douche of the universe, in all the galaxies,
- 30:06Speaker 6: there's no bigger douche than you. You've reached the top,
- 30:12Speaker 6: the pinnacle of douche dum, good going, douce, your dreams
- 30:17Speaker 6: have come true.
- 30:18Speaker 1: Not that I suspect she engaged in any thought processes,
- 30:22Speaker 1: but she takes a three year old inside with her
- 30:23Speaker 1: and leaves the two younger children in the car to
- 30:25Speaker 1: sweat it out, maybe even die. Okay. Woman in North
- 30:31Speaker 1: Carolina accused of damaging a man's Tesla cyber truck using
- 30:36Speaker 1: a board with nails. Sixty seven year old and very
- 30:42Speaker 1: angry looking. Think of your average angry leftist and there
- 30:48Speaker 1: you go, kind of like a sixty seven year old
- 30:51Speaker 1: Greta Thunberg. Anyway, sixty seven year old Karen lewis arrested
- 30:55Speaker 1: charge with misdemeanor damage the property. According to records, the
- 30:58Speaker 1: investigation began when the owner reported damage his car. Investigators
- 31:02Speaker 1: said the cyber trucks onboard cameras recorded or using a
- 31:06Speaker 1: board with nails to scratched the vehicle. She was quickly
- 31:08Speaker 1: identified as the suspect in jail on a one thousand
- 31:11Speaker 1: dollars secured bond. No one knows what led up to
- 31:14Speaker 1: the incident or what motive might have been. I'll let
- 31:16Speaker 1: you use your imagination. She looks and probably is one
- 31:19Speaker 1: of these global warming alarmist nut jobs. We got a
- 31:28Speaker 1: windshe County, Iowa, where we have a resident facing felony
- 31:32Speaker 1: charges after allegedly lacing a posta dish with opioids to
- 31:37Speaker 1: cause a pregnant woman to have a miscarriage. Do what
- 31:41Speaker 1: the hell nut case In this particular article, thirty six
- 31:44Speaker 1: year old Amber Snow arrested by law enforcement, facing several
- 31:50Speaker 1: felony accounts, including delivering controlled substance, attempty to intentionally terminate
- 31:54Speaker 1: a human pregnancy without knowledge and voluntary consent of the
- 31:56Speaker 1: pregnant person. Administering a harmful substance to an adult and age.
- 32:00Speaker 1: Now also faces misdemeanor child and dangermon charges. A courting
- 32:03Speaker 1: the investigation, someone reached out to the Sheriff's office about
- 32:06Speaker 1: a family sized pan lasagna that had allegedly been laced
- 32:10Speaker 1: with a controlled substance. After an extensive investigation, detectives learned
- 32:14Speaker 1: that Snow and a co conspirator allegedly laced the design
- 32:17Speaker 1: he with drugs before giving it to another family, a
- 32:21Speaker 1: family Iouled division. A criminal investigation lab later determined that
- 32:27Speaker 1: Lasigna tested positive for oxy codone. Snow allegedly delivered the
- 32:32Speaker 1: tainted LASIGNI to cause a miscarriage to a pregnancy of
- 32:35Speaker 1: a woman in the family that received the Lasagna. Sheriff's
- 32:39Speaker 1: office confirmed to the outlet that the mother and the
- 32:41Speaker 1: baby are safe, which is great. She's being held in
- 32:47Speaker 1: the Wineschek County Jail on a one hundred thousand dollars bond.
- 32:51Speaker 1: Clearly not in front of Judge Silverstein here in Hamilton County.

- 33:06Speaker 1: six fifty five kr C the talk station Lot's talk
- 33:08Speaker 1: about in the six o'clock hour, plus Paul Erlick is dead.
- 33:12Speaker 1: Who Well, I can draw some parallels between that nut
- 33:15Speaker 1: job and the global warming alarmists that I've been on
- 33:18Speaker 1: a tear of lately, if not for years. That just
- 33:22Speaker 1: a whole lot more coming up with the six o'clock hour.
- 33:23Speaker 1: I would enjoy hearing from you too, So feel free
- 33:25Speaker 1: to exercise your ability to call. I'd be more than
- 33:28Speaker 1: happy to take that call regardless. Me right back after
- 33:30Speaker 1: the news we put the app it's a six to
- 33:34Speaker 1: fifty five kr sad talk station. My name is Brian Thomas.
- 33:37Speaker 1: I hosted the fifty five KRC Morning Show and I
- 33:40Speaker 1: could not do that. Apps and Joe Strekker, Joe strekerje
- 33:43Speaker 1: can producer, Internet research guru, allround, great guy in the
- 33:46Speaker 1: production booth where he belongs. And I'm glad for that.
- 33:48Speaker 1: And I'm glad he's lined up the guests we've got today.
- 33:49Speaker 1: Fast forward an hour Congressman Warren David's some great time
- 33:52Speaker 1: to have Congressman David soon on will the government ever
- 33:54Speaker 1: open again? It's a good question. One of the topics
- 34:00Speaker 1: I suggest maybe Jay Ratliffe might talk about the TSA.
- 34:04Speaker 1: They're not showing up to work. More and more of
- 34:06Speaker 1: them need money. They aren't getting their paycheck and of
- 34:08Speaker 1: course causing them big problem. At airlines, they're talking about
- 34:10Speaker 1: three to four hour delays and of course shutting down airports.
- 34:15Speaker 1: And you know Jay always talked about the ripple effect,
- 34:16Speaker 1: saying the obvious. You know, if you shut down airports,
- 34:19Speaker 1: I have no idea what the landscape. But look on
- 34:21Speaker 1: we always talk about hub delays every time we talk
- 34:24Speaker 1: with Jay Ratliffe. Close of the program, Is it a
- 34:26Speaker 1: good day to fly? Probably? Not problem will only get worse,
- 34:30Speaker 1: I'm thinking, but we'll find out. So government shutdown will
- 34:34Speaker 1: let ever open against Save Act? Apparently it looks like
- 34:38Speaker 1: the Save Act isn't going to go anywhere. And then
- 34:40Speaker 1: of course requiring a photo idea and mandating that you
- 34:42Speaker 1: have to be a US citizen prove it before you
- 34:44Speaker 1: can vote an election. It is the law on federal election,
- 34:47Speaker 1: So requiring proof, I think that goes a long way
- 34:51Speaker 1: to secure the integrity of the elections by the way
- 34:53Speaker 1: the Democrats claim, But it may just be now used
- 34:58Speaker 1: as a political argument. The fact that the Democrats out
- 35:01Speaker 1: loud and just completely reject the concept of a photo
- 35:05Speaker 1: ID requirement, which we have here in Ohio, one of
- 35:07Speaker 1: the few states it does. We've all been able to,
- 35:10Speaker 1: I guess, get along with a photo idea. It hasn't
- 35:12Speaker 1: caused that much of a problem. Of course, we all
- 35:14Speaker 1: need one to live our lives. But it's now I guess,
- 35:18Speaker 1: going to be used as a political tactic. Look at
- 35:19Speaker 1: what they did, they refuse to and you get the
- 35:22Speaker 1: idea provides one argument for the Republicans on an eighty
- 35:25Speaker 1: twenty issue by all accounts. Plus we'll talk about Iran
- 35:28Speaker 1: and most critical question for me and Congress and Warren Davidson.
- 35:32Speaker 1: Will the Iranians just simply try to run out the
- 35:34Speaker 1: clock on what they probably are aware of, that sixty
- 35:36Speaker 1: day period under the War Powers Resolution, which requires a
- 35:39Speaker 1: declaration of war or an authorization for you some military force,
- 35:43Speaker 1: and if you don't get either, you got to win
- 35:45Speaker 1: through all the troops. So the clock is running out
- 35:52Speaker 1: on that one. We're looking forward to hearing what he
- 35:54Speaker 1: has to say about that. John Crazy joins a program

- 36:40Speaker 1: four nine fifty, five hundred, eight hundred and eight to
- 36:42Speaker 1: two three talk pound five fifty on AT and T phones.
- 36:45Speaker 1: Moving away, I want to I got to address as
- 36:47Speaker 1: Paul Earla guy I moving away from war and global
- 36:56Speaker 1: conflicts and general stupidity of our world leaders, and to
- 37:00Speaker 1: see five minutes ahead of the time that he may
- 37:02Speaker 1: have a problem on your hands. When the entire world
- 37:05Speaker 1: is dependent upon a fifteen sixteen, eighteen miles junk of
- 37:08Speaker 1: land rant. I will all day long about that when
- 37:11Speaker 1: the straight upform moves. Of course, New York Times obituary
- 37:14Speaker 1: came out this week. Paul Erlick, eminent ecologist and population scientists,
- 37:21Speaker 1: whose best selling book The Population Bomb was celebrated as
- 37:26Speaker 1: opprescient warning of a coming age of food shortages and famine,
- 37:29Speaker 1: but later criticized by conservatives and academic rivals for what
- 37:33Speaker 1: they called it's sky is falling rhetoric. He died at
- 37:38Speaker 1: age ninety three last Friday. So I appreciate the comic
- 37:47Speaker 1: viewpoint the author of this article commenting on the New
- 37:50Speaker 1: York Times and this man's life. But listen, this guy
- 37:54Speaker 1: was embraced. He was a celebrity among the far left.
- 37:57Speaker 1: We are all going to die in Some of his
- 37:59Speaker 1: prediction are crazy. And tell me if this doesn't remind
- 38:02Speaker 1: you of al Gore's predictions and Greta Thunberg's predictions, and
- 38:06Speaker 1: oh my god, we're all going at ee scenarios under
- 38:08Speaker 1: this formerly global warming, preceded by the New Ice Age,
- 38:12Speaker 1: now climate change. See, they keep moving the target to
- 38:16Speaker 1: keep you interested in believing this. This crap is real.
- 38:21Speaker 1: Prescient warning you predict things before they happen. Prescient suggests
- 38:26Speaker 1: that you're accurate on it. Paul Erlick the farthest thing
- 38:29Speaker 1: from population bombed. The book warned of catastrophe, looming environmental crises, famines,
- 38:41Speaker 1: mass death. Here's one again. The parallels between this and
- 38:48Speaker 1: al Gore are just simply hilarious, he said in the
- 38:53Speaker 1: nineteen seventies and nineteen eighty. Remember this is his book
- 38:55Speaker 1: from I think it was nineteen sixty seven when the
- 38:57Speaker 1: book originally came out late sixties. Anyway, in the nineteen
- 39:01Speaker 1: seventies and nineteen eighties, hundreds of millions of people will
- 39:04Speaker 1: starve to death from mass famine. Anybody remember that? You
- 39:11Speaker 1: study that in history or did you live through it? Right,
- 39:13Speaker 1: it didn't happen. The Communists run great leap forward famine
- 39:19Speaker 1: the nineteen fifties, pretty much the last famine we've ever shown.
- 39:21Speaker 1: They have a nice chart showing the annual deaths from
- 39:23Speaker 1: famine between eighteen seventy and twenty twenty two. Like after
- 39:27Speaker 1: nineteen sixty and a couple of years there around, there
- 39:30Speaker 1: haven't been that many, at least in terms of a
- 39:33Speaker 1: global population of billions. It didn't happen. Oh that's right. Technology,
- 39:38Speaker 1: modern farming, fertilizers all jumped ahead and saved the world
- 39:42Speaker 1: from the mass starvation predicted by Erlik. He also ledge
- 39:48Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy that the Earth was on a verge
- 39:50Speaker 1: of a catastrophic marine mortality event. So remember soilent green, Yeah,
- 39:57Speaker 1: it was the predicate behind that. Oh my god, the
- 40:00Speaker 1: oceans are dead. I thought we were eating plankton. Oh
- 40:02Speaker 1: they're all dead. That was his prediction. So what do
- 40:07Speaker 1: you do You take that and you run with it,
- 40:08Speaker 1: and you create a fictitious movie about that scenario down
- 40:11Speaker 1: the road. Dystopian future we are going to live, he said,
- 40:16Speaker 1: in ten years, remember this in nineteen seventy, So by
- 40:19Speaker 1: nineteen eighty, all important animal life in the sea will
- 40:24Speaker 1: be extinct. Large areas of coastline will have to be
- 40:27Speaker 1: evacuated because of the stench of dead fish.
- 40:32Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 40:32Speaker 1: I don't remember that either. All the fish didn't die
- 40:37Speaker 1: nineteen sixty nine, he placed the high post probability of
- 40:40Speaker 1: the likelihood Inland England would not exist. I seem to
- 40:44Speaker 1: recall predictions about New York City being underwater as well.
- 40:47Speaker 1: And yet Barack Obama went ahead and bought a Martha's
- 40:49Speaker 1: vineyard home. You know, it's a little bit north of there,
- 40:51Speaker 1: he said. If current trends continue, this is nineteen sixty nine.
- 40:57Speaker 1: By the year two thousand, anybody keeping track on what
- 41:01Speaker 1: year it is. By the year two thousand, the United
- 41:03Speaker 1: Kingdom will simply be a small group of impoverished islands
- 41:07Speaker 1: inhabited by some seventy million hungry people of little or
- 41:10Speaker 1: no concern to the other five to seven billion inhabitants
- 41:13Speaker 1: of a sick world. Okay, Yeah, you don't remember the
- 41:20Speaker 1: epic of the sinking of England and the population wipe out. Yeah,
- 41:26Speaker 1: neither do. I here's an interesting one obesity related chemical poisoning.
- 41:34Speaker 1: The day may come when the obese people of the
- 41:36Speaker 1: world must give up diets since metabolizing their fat deposits
- 41:42Speaker 1: will lead to DDT poisoning. Author quoting that one just says, like,
- 41:49Speaker 1: if I'm reading that correctly, I think that means that
- 41:51Speaker 1: obese people have to stay obese or else the DDT
- 41:54Speaker 1: and their fats will poison them. Yeah. I think that's
- 41:57Speaker 1: what he's saying too. But backcrap and sanity is backcrap
- 41:59Speaker 1: and sanate And no, it didn't happen. Nothing like that
- 42:01Speaker 1: ever happened, although number of obast people has increased dramatically,
- 42:04Speaker 1: where's that famine problem? Joe? And then, of course they
- 42:13Speaker 1: say years after his production predictions were proving to be well,
- 42:17Speaker 1: devastatingly untrue. I would call that absolute, outright false. He
- 42:23Speaker 1: got on the echo apocalypse bandwagon. We're going to see
- 42:28Speaker 1: massive extinction. We could expect to lose all of Florida, Washington, DC,
- 42:34Speaker 1: and the Los Angeles Basin will be in rising waters
- 42:37Speaker 1: with no arc insight. Yeah, that didn't happen either, now
- 42:43Speaker 1: did it? Nor did anything al Gore predicted happen? Why
- 42:49Speaker 1: do we continue to chase this tale and the world
- 42:54Speaker 1: is suffering. At least we got ahead of the problem.
- 42:56Speaker 1: At some point someone woke up in the Trump administration
- 43:00Speaker 1: and went with an all the above energy strategy which
- 43:03Speaker 1: is now saving to my Australia and friend Fiona, who's
- 43:06Speaker 1: been of a left winger, went to high school with
- 43:08Speaker 1: her and we occasionally exchange Facebook instant messages, and she said,
- 43:12Speaker 1: I've been staying away from politics because I know how
- 43:15Speaker 1: you are. But and then she's talked about this existential
- 43:17Speaker 1: crisis going on because of the Strait of Horror moves
- 43:19Speaker 1: is closed. Whose fault is it that that impacts Australia.
- 43:24Speaker 1: Australia over fifty percent of Australia's refine fuel products rely
- 43:28Speaker 1: on oil passing through. Yes, the Strait of Horror moves,
- 43:32Speaker 1: so that means the vast majority of Australia's diesel, gasoline,
- 43:34Speaker 1: jet fuel, kerosene, et cetera on the verge of a
- 43:36Speaker 1: supply collapse, which some say the country has one month
- 43:43Speaker 1: before rationing is implemented. They don't keep reserves there in
- 43:46Speaker 1: spite of the fact that there's this global requirement to
- 43:49Speaker 1: do so. I can't remember the name of that treaty
- 43:50Speaker 1: or that obligation, but they haven't bothered to do that.
- 43:53Speaker 1: They're too busy chasing the global warming climate change myth
- 44:01Speaker 1: one of the reasons for Australia's oil vulnerability. There are
- 44:04Speaker 1: many reasons. Much can be blamed and attributed to the
- 44:07Speaker 1: lack of government concern over energy independence, an ongoing progressive
- 44:12Speaker 1: obsession with climate change in green energy policies. They have
- 44:15Speaker 1: two refineries that are old is Methuselah. They contribute only
- 44:18Speaker 1: twenty percent of Australia's total fuel products, and so the
- 44:22Speaker 1: refusal to build additional refineries or improve or expand their
- 44:26Speaker 1: own production, which they have limited themselves, is coming back
- 44:30Speaker 1: to haunt them now when the world is in an
- 44:32Speaker 1: unstable position, which you could see a mile away. Again,
- 44:35Speaker 1: going back to the Iranians controlling that straight for as
- 44:37Speaker 1: long as night, since back to nineteen seventy nine. On
- 44:39Speaker 1: some level, if you leave them in place, they're going
- 44:41Speaker 1: to continue to be able to shut off the world
- 44:43Speaker 1: or disrupt global supplies. Why are people relying on that
- 44:46Speaker 1: straight so you had the crippling reliance on Asia by
- 44:53Speaker 1: the Australians. The far left Australian government described as setting
- 44:58Speaker 1: up the country for echin suicide by implementing nonsensical carbon
- 45:03Speaker 1: restrictions and climate change mandates, diverting twenty two billion plus
- 45:09Speaker 1: dollars into green tech. Of course, not as efficient as
- 45:11Speaker 1: something that runs twenty four to seven. Oil expiration increasingly difficult.
- 45:17Speaker 1: There there are plans. There are zero plans for new
- 45:20Speaker 1: refineries and get a load of this epic stupidity. Back
- 45:22Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety eight, nuclear energy has been completely banned.
- 45:26Speaker 1: The savior of humanity. If you believe in carbon dioxide
- 45:29Speaker 1: killing the globe, yet something on a small footprint they
- 45:32Speaker 1: deliver an abundance of power twenty four to seven. They
- 45:34Speaker 1: won't do it. No, we're not going to do that.
- 45:38Speaker 1: Describe their infrastructure built around a just in time import
- 45:43Speaker 1: model I, meaning the country does not have a reliable
- 45:45Speaker 1: long term store of fuel products for emergency use. Here
- 45:48Speaker 1: it's called the minimum stockholding obligation, which they introduced back
- 45:53Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three after Ukraine War got kicked in,
- 45:56Speaker 1: which impacted them to a certain degree, giving the economy
- 45:59Speaker 1: thirty days for supplies of all products before total breakdown.
- 46:04Speaker 1: Australia the only IEA member that has not met the
- 46:06Speaker 1: mandatory ninety days of net import equivalent self inflicted wounds.
- 46:13Speaker 1: So if you OA, there you go. You want to
- 46:14Speaker 1: complain about that situation, A situation which could have unfolded
- 46:17Speaker 1: if Iron just decided to go on its own. Maybe
- 46:19Speaker 1: if they got a nuclear weapon and threatened the globe.
- 46:22Speaker 1: Who knows. Now, the US may have kicked this into
- 46:25Speaker 1: gear and may have shut down those straight of horror moves.
- 46:27Speaker 1: It probably will be temporary. There are many friends of
- 46:30Speaker 1: ours in the NATO countries who could use minesweeping boats
- 46:33Speaker 1: to alleviate the problem that they have placed themselves in
- 46:36Speaker 1: by relying on similarly well, similarly distant sources of oil
- 46:42Speaker 1: flowing also through the Strait of Hormones and elsewhere, disrupted
- 46:46Speaker 1: by the Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Don't you think they
- 46:49Speaker 1: might wake up to the reality they've got a problem
- 46:51Speaker 1: on their hands and might start working for their own
- 46:53Speaker 1: citizenry and having a better supply of something that works.
- 47:00Speaker 1: But yeah, go ahead, hurt your citizens. Six nineteen fifty

- 47:07Speaker 1: date of heaven Cemetery Catholic six twenty four to fifty
- 47:10Speaker 1: five KRCD talk station Happy Friday Eve. Yeah. At one
- 47:13Speaker 1: more point on Paul Erlick, the Malthusian guy who said
- 47:16Speaker 1: We're all going to die and starve to death because
- 47:18Speaker 1: of the population bomb, which didn't come true. There was
- 47:21Speaker 1: an observation by the editor editorial board of the Wall
- 47:24Speaker 1: Street Journal Paul Erlick, the man who lost an infamous bet.
- 47:28Speaker 1: So after all these dire predictions about we're all going
- 47:30Speaker 1: to die within ten years, that means we should have
- 47:32Speaker 1: been dead by like nineteen eighty, great economist Julian Simon
- 47:36Speaker 1: made a bet with this Paul Erlick guy on his theories.
- 47:39Speaker 1: To put him to the test, he offered a bet
- 47:40Speaker 1: on whether the price of five commodities would go down
- 47:43Speaker 1: or up over the next ten years. Erlick selected five
- 47:46Speaker 1: medals chromium, copper, nickelton, and tungsten. Took the bet. They
- 47:50Speaker 1: suggested it was a wager over human beings and free markets.
- 47:53Speaker 1: If Erlick was right and people were devouring the Earth's resources,
- 47:57Speaker 1: then the price of those resources would go up. Simon
- 48:00Speaker 1: was right. Human beings would respond to the shortages with ingenuity,
- 48:03Speaker 1: and prices would in the long term go down. In
- 48:06Speaker 1: nineteen ninety Simon won the bet and Erlick in fact
- 48:10Speaker 1: paid up on it. They conclude with today, nations such
- 48:15Speaker 1: as China and embrace population control most wholeheartedly are now
- 48:18Speaker 1: worried about of birth dearth. And here's the point I
- 48:22Speaker 1: wanted to read the last sentence of the op ed
- 48:25Speaker 1: piece for the last two cents. Rlick's life is a lesson
- 48:28Speaker 1: that brilliant men can become captive to bad ideas that
- 48:33Speaker 1: become intellectual fashion and do great harm. At least he
- 48:38Speaker 1: honored his bet. That, of course, is my parallel with
- 48:44Speaker 1: climate change. Yeah, a lot of allegedly brilliant men, logical
- 48:48Speaker 1: influential people, a lot of politicians global and otherwise, Oh
- 48:53Speaker 1: my god, we're all gonna die. They've all been convinced
- 48:55Speaker 1: by this constant chorus that we're all gonna die, backing
- 48:59Speaker 1: us into owners that we would never otherwise have backed
- 49:02Speaker 1: ourselves in in terms of energy dependence, reliability. And I
- 49:09Speaker 1: can only hope that, like the prediction to Paul Erlick
- 49:12Speaker 1: and his stupid book, the population bomb ultimately will be
- 49:17Speaker 1: widely embraced as stupid. And can you remember when back
- 49:21Speaker 1: in the day when we all were trying to get
- 49:24Speaker 1: rid of a naturally occurring thing called plant food from
- 49:27Speaker 1: the environment, ie carbon dioxide. Do you remember all the
- 49:30Speaker 1: billions of dollars we spent propping up the Chinese economy
- 49:33Speaker 1: buying windmills and solar panels while they continue to build
- 49:37Speaker 1: coal plants almost on a daily basis. Yeah, weren't we stupid?

- 49:54Speaker 1: nobody wants to talk to me today? Why is that?
- 50:01Speaker 1: Are me throwing your hands up? I regularly feel like
- 50:08Speaker 1: I am alone in the world. It's okay. I'll still
- 50:12Speaker 1: show up and try to get it done. Hey, thanks
- 50:14Speaker 1: to the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Congratulations. Kentucky lawmakers overrode Governor
- 50:19Speaker 1: Andybysher's veto on joining the federal school choice tax credit
- 50:23Speaker 1: scholarship program. This established under the One Big Beautiful Bill.
- 50:26Speaker 1: That's why Democrats hated I guess anyhow. Their argument is
- 50:30Speaker 1: a very shallow one. The House voted for a veto
- 50:34Speaker 1: override seventy seven to fourteen with I guess one abstentions.
- 50:38Speaker 1: That was Monday, followed up by the Senate on Tuesday
- 50:41Speaker 1: thirty one to five. Sorry, Governor Behre. This program just
- 50:47Speaker 1: simply provides a seventeen hundred dollars tax credit for donations
- 50:52Speaker 1: two groups that provide scholarships scholarships that help students attend
- 50:57Speaker 1: either a public or private school. So donating gives you
- 51:02Speaker 1: the tax credit. The donation goes to a group that
- 51:05Speaker 1: will provide the scholarships to help the students. Now, in
- 51:08Speaker 1: what way, shape or form does this impact the public
- 51:10Speaker 1: school systems? I can't imagine in any way, shape or form.
- 51:13Speaker 1: But the Democrat opponents claimed that was an attempt to
- 51:16Speaker 1: divert money away from public schools. No, that convinced Governor Bashir,
- 51:20Speaker 1: but it didn't convince the balance of the legislative brand
- 51:24Speaker 1: Yes overwhelmingly overturned the veto, So congratulations, good job to
- 51:29Speaker 1: the elected officials. In the Commonwealth, two people were injured
- 51:32Speaker 1: another person in custody after a domestic dispute turned into
- 51:35Speaker 1: a shooting. This in Florence, Kentucky. Happened yesterday evening in
- 51:38Speaker 1: a corn of the Florence Police Department eight pm and
- 51:41Speaker 1: the one hundred and sixty block of Rain Tree Road.
- 51:43Speaker 1: That's where the shooting happened. Gregory Grant, fifty seven years old,
- 51:47Speaker 1: arrested in charge of two counts of attempted murder in
- 51:49Speaker 1: one count of strangulation. Police said nine moment operators heard
- 51:54Speaker 1: shots fired over the phone as police were on the
- 51:56Speaker 1: way to dispute. Once got there, police found two people
- 51:59Speaker 1: with gunshots wounds of their lower bodies. Ems rendered aid
- 52:02Speaker 1: took him to UC Medical Center, where they're listed in
- 52:04Speaker 1: stable condition. Officers of the shooting stem from a domestic
- 52:08Speaker 1: dispute before Grant pulled a handgun and shot both victims.
- 52:14Speaker 1: I think that's a just walk away right there, Joe,
- 52:18Speaker 1: all right, we'll go to Anderson Township where a man's
- 52:21Speaker 1: been sentenced or Anderson Township. Man has been sentenced to
- 52:24Speaker 1: eight to twelve years in prison for sexually assaulting a
- 52:27Speaker 1: seventy nine year old woman in Deerfield Township added him
- 52:31Speaker 1: to the list of award winners this morning. Joseph Zachary Dickinson,
- 52:35Speaker 1: no relation to Bruce, charged after following the woman home
- 52:39Speaker 1: from a Walmart. Happened to August twenty first, last year.
- 52:42Speaker 1: Victim testified during the trial she was able to see
- 52:44Speaker 1: his vehicle and identify some of the numbers on the
- 52:46Speaker 1: license plate. Detective used flock cameras to identify the vehicle
- 52:49Speaker 1: and locate this Dickinson guy. Let's see here. Dickinson pleaded
- 52:55Speaker 1: guilty to kidnapping with the intent to engage in sexual activity,
- 52:58Speaker 1: gross sexual imposition, aggravated burglary. I know a lot of
- 53:02Speaker 1: people get creeped out over the flock cameras. They do
- 53:06Speaker 1: carry some privacy issues with them. But we live in
- 53:09Speaker 1: an Orwellian world, don't we. It's six thirty five and

- 53:32Speaker 1: somebody out there, Nick, thanks for calling this morning. Welcome
- 53:34Speaker 1: to the program.
- 53:36Speaker 7: Hey, Brian, how are you doing.
- 53:37Speaker 1: I'm doing really well and I appreciate you ask, and
- 53:39Speaker 1: I hope you can say the same.
- 53:41Speaker 7: Well, yes, yes I can. And hey, I was listening
- 53:44Speaker 7: to you talking about the climate crisis so called, and
- 53:47Speaker 7: also about sometimes you feel alone.
- 53:49Speaker 8: When you're there in the morning.
- 53:51Speaker 3: Yeah, and I can.
- 53:52Speaker 7: I can understand that because I've thought a few times
- 53:55Speaker 7: what would it be like to be there sometimes in
- 53:57Speaker 7: the morning when nobody's calling in.
- 53:59Speaker 1: It's weird. No, honestly, Nick, it's weird. And you know what,
- 54:02Speaker 1: I know it's not true that I am alone, because
- 54:05Speaker 1: I regularly meant that you have thought you can't get
- 54:07Speaker 1: out of your head cause I you know, I like
- 54:11Speaker 1: there's a lot of topics going on in the world.
- 54:12Speaker 1: I'm not covering all of them. There's something out there
- 54:14Speaker 1: somebody might want to chime in on or offer a
- 54:16Speaker 1: comment on. That's cool. You know, it's kind of like
- 54:18Speaker 1: open line Friday here in the morning show every day
- 54:20Speaker 1: of the week, so you know, when there's no guess,
- 54:22Speaker 1: it's an opportunity to chime in. But I know that
- 54:24Speaker 1: there are a lot of people out there because I
- 54:26Speaker 1: see the streaming numbers. That's why I always say, the
- 54:28Speaker 1: iHeart Media app is outstanding for the morning show because
- 54:31Speaker 1: it gives us a real time understanding of who's listening
- 54:34Speaker 1: and when and the number of people listening. And thankfully,
- 54:37Speaker 1: at least in terms of the iHeartMedia cluster here in Cincinnati,
- 54:42Speaker 1: we have awesome streaming numbers on the morning show, which
- 54:46Speaker 1: just delights me to no end. So people don't necessarily
- 54:49Speaker 1: want to call up and chime in, But I know
- 54:50Speaker 1: you're out there, and I love each and every one
- 54:52Speaker 1: of you for at least giving me some of your
- 54:54Speaker 1: time in the morning, so that appreciate it.
- 54:56Speaker 7: Not everybody, Not everybody's fully awake at some point.
- 55:01Speaker 1: Including Brian Thomas.
- 55:03Speaker 7: Yeah, well maybe that's true too. It is you hide
- 55:06Speaker 7: that pretty well if you're not fully away.
- 55:08Speaker 1: You know, caffeine is a wonderful thing, Nick.
- 55:12Speaker 7: Yes it is. And hey, the thing you were talking
- 55:15Speaker 7: about was the so called climate crisis is one of
- 55:20Speaker 7: the chapters in my book Our Got Given Freedom that
- 55:22Speaker 7: I was on there with you to talk about sure
- 55:25Speaker 7: times and maybe talked about too much. The chapter twenty
- 55:29Speaker 7: eight in the book is titled Climate Crisis slash Energy
- 55:33Speaker 7: Control hoax. You know, yeah, energy control hooks and well.
- 55:40Speaker 1: Hey, Nick, here's here's an interesting question. I will I'll
- 55:43Speaker 1: give you rhetorical question. What country is in control apparently
- 55:48Speaker 1: of twenty percent of the global energy demand, least in
- 55:51Speaker 1: so far as natural gas and petroleum. Ah, look the
- 55:56Speaker 1: fun fact we get to learn today. How about that?
- 55:59Speaker 7: Until anyway, Yeah, you know, they're in charge of that,
- 56:03Speaker 7: and hopefully, hopefully they won't be the people the same
- 56:06Speaker 7: leaders won't be Maybe Iran will be in charge of that,
- 56:09Speaker 7: but maybe under different leaderships.
- 56:11Speaker 1: Well, keep your popcorn out. I know that's sort of
- 56:13Speaker 1: a maybe a callous reference to a war that's raging
- 56:16Speaker 1: with human life being lost, including American uniform personnel. But
- 56:21Speaker 1: you can see if it does work out, it will
- 56:27Speaker 1: benefit the entire world. An entire world who is screaming
- 56:32Speaker 1: at the United States over the closure of the Strait
- 56:34Speaker 1: of Ormuz, which we didn't close. We haven't even hit
- 56:38Speaker 1: that car production facility the Iranians have, that little island
- 56:42Speaker 1: that is what supplies about eighty or ninety percent of
- 56:45Speaker 1: the Iranian revenue. Talk about a wonderful military target, but
- 56:49Speaker 1: what would happen that would take offline all the fuel
- 56:52Speaker 1: that's processed there and harm the rest of the world.
- 56:58Speaker 1: You see, the rest of the world could step up
- 57:00Speaker 1: and appreciate the fact that they have become beholden to
- 57:02Speaker 1: the Iranians. They have put themselves in an untenable position
- 57:06Speaker 1: of relying on the straight of horn moves to deliver
- 57:08Speaker 1: the life giving reality that is reliable energy brought to
- 57:12Speaker 1: you by fossil fuels. We lived through this in the seventies,
- 57:18Speaker 1: the OPEC oil embargo. What a wake up call for
- 57:20Speaker 1: the United States. And it took decades to put us
- 57:23Speaker 1: back online and in the position of being a net exporter.
- 57:26Speaker 1: And who'd ever thought of that? Remember peak oil? Oh,
- 57:28Speaker 1: much like the population bomb I talked about earlier with
- 57:31Speaker 1: this insane Paul Erlick guy who was all the rage
- 57:34Speaker 1: in the late sixties and seventies and eighties. Same thing
- 57:38Speaker 1: with peak oil. I remember seeing a science museum when
- 57:40Speaker 1: I was a little kid, and it had a tiktoking clock,
- 57:43Speaker 1: a countdown clock, much in the same way our debt
- 57:45Speaker 1: clock goes in the opposite direction. It was counting down
- 57:48Speaker 1: to the day when the world ran out of oil. Hey,
- 57:52Speaker 1: look they got that wrong too, And how many of
- 57:57Speaker 1: us were wetted to the proposition that was going to happen.
- 57:58Speaker 1: So no, we haven't run out. It's more supplies online
- 58:03Speaker 1: now than ever before. Yet the rest of the world
- 58:07Speaker 1: hasn't gotten a message. They're still chasing their tail over this,
- 58:11Speaker 1: at least temporarily. I would argue popular concept that carbon
- 58:15Speaker 1: dioxide's killing us. Yeah, it's not the population boom that's
- 58:21Speaker 1: going to cause starvation. It's idiot philosophies like that and
- 58:24Speaker 1: governments that refuse to see five minutes ahead of time
- 58:27Speaker 1: and realize that in a moment's time, if certain areas
- 58:31Speaker 1: of the world are shut down to two global conflict,
- 58:35Speaker 1: war or anything else, that their energy is going to
- 58:39Speaker 1: go out, and that their lights are going to go out,
- 58:41Speaker 1: and that their people will maybe freeze to death in
- 58:43Speaker 1: the middle of the winter. That's a thought, Mississippi James.
- 58:46Speaker 1: Hang on, brother, I see that it's six forty five
- 58:48Speaker 1: out of time, but I'm happy to take your cart.
- 58:54Speaker 1: It's six fifty one here fifty five KR see the
- 58:57Speaker 1: talk station. I'm jumping over the phone, own, Mississippi James.
- 59:01Speaker 1: Is kind of enough. The hold of the break there.
- 59:02Speaker 1: Welcome back, my friends. Good to hear from you, sir.
- 59:05Speaker 5: Hey, good morning, doctor Brian. To come in peace if
- 59:08Speaker 5: they about it and there's nothing you can do about it.
- 59:11Speaker 1: The world will be a much better place if everybody
- 59:12Speaker 1: approach life like you do, Mississippi, James, I appreciate that thought.
- 59:16Speaker 1: Every time you call.
- 59:17Speaker 5: Hey, I tell people I'm free, I'm happy, I'm healthy,
- 59:22Speaker 5: and I'm wealthy, and the health and go together, the
- 59:26Speaker 5: free and the happiness go together.
- 59:28Speaker 1: That's why so many people around this globe want to
- 59:30Speaker 1: come to the United States of America because they do
- 59:33Speaker 1: not live in a free country. It's one of the
- 59:35Speaker 1: greatest assets we have here in the United States. So many,
- 59:38Speaker 1: so few people appreciate it on the level that you do, James,
- 59:40Speaker 1: and I certainly share your appreciation of freedom. So what's
- 59:44Speaker 1: on your mind today, man, Other than philosophy, which is
- 59:46Speaker 1: always good.
- 59:48Speaker 5: Now I'm looking at it, there's so many moving parts here,
- 59:51Speaker 5: so you have to sort of like I unraveling a
- 59:54Speaker 5: ball of yarn. You know where's the end piece?
- 59:57Speaker 4: Set?
- 59:58Speaker 1: Sure?
- 59:58Speaker 5: But now you were speaking of of the sixty days,
- 1:00:02Speaker 5: I guess yeah.
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: Under the War Powers, as I understand the nineteen seventy
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: three War Powers Resolution, some call it Act, the Congress
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: must either declare war or issue an authorization to use
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: of military force. So the president notifies Congress that he's
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: engaged the military. That starts the clock ticking. That gives
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: them time to debate and talk about it and either
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: authorized war or pass an authorization for use of military
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: force force setting the parameters for the war, like the outcomes,
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: you know, the timeframe, maybe I don't know. Whatever they
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: throw into an AUMF. If that isn't done, no action
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: is taken, which is the current state of affairs. The
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: sixty day clock is ticking after the notification, and under
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: the War Powers Resolution, it says the troops must be
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: withdrawn after the sixty days, unless a thirty day extension
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: is needed to effectively get the troops out. In other words,
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: you don't want to put them in harm by pulling
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: them out. So you have a window of initial thirty days,
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: and I presume that would be that would be exercised,
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: so a total of nine days and then out period.
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: I don't think it cares that the War Powers Resolution
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: doesn't say anything about the status of the conflict.
- 1:01:10Speaker 5: Okay, now, with this band called an excursion not a war,
- 1:01:17Speaker 5: where are we in this circle? I mean, I'm not.
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: Gonna playing semantical games James listen to. If two armies
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: are fighting each other, I'm gonna call it a war.
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: Some people say there have to be boots on the
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: ground to make it a war. In modern times, are
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: you kidding me? With drone technology and long range missiles
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: and all that, I think we could get in a
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: real effective shooting war with say a nuclear power nuclear
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: war with the Chinese. If they start launching rockets in
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: the United States, we start launching rockets at Beijing, I'm
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: calling it a war. So you know, what's the difference.
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: If it's rockets being launched from ships onto the Iranians
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: and the Iranians launching rockets under the Israeli targets in
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: the United States targets as well as their neighbors, I'm
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: calling it a war.
- 1:02:00Speaker 5: That go back to whether it's a war or illegal war.
- 1:02:04Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 1:02:05Speaker 5: No, So it's just so many moving parts and I
- 1:02:07Speaker 5: try to keep up with it.
- 1:02:09Speaker 3: But a well, that's seeing.
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: I know, And depending on who you're listening to, some
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: are making an argument that we're not in a war,
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: and some are taking a more straightforward approach. You know,
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: if it looks like a duck and it walks like
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: a duck, and it sounds like a duck. It's a
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: blanken duck, James, you know. Anyhow, But there is that
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: Tesky provision and that I'm going to talk to Karran
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: Davidson about this after the top of the hour. The
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: imminent threat, and this is another maybe semantical argument. We're
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: talking about whether or not under the war powers a resolution,
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: there was this imminent threat from Iran. They've been around
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: since nineteen seventy nine, been a thorn in everybody's side
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: since that moment in time, launching proxy wars with terrorist
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: organizations killing people left and right, including Americans and American
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: assets like the coal I believe was blown up. We've
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: had hundreds of hundreds of military personal killed by the
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: terrorists and other Iranian proxies. Have we not been facing
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: what some may argue as in imminent threats for a
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: long period of time or were those not imminent threats?
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: See wrestle amongst yourselves. I don't have all the answers,
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: of course. This is why we have conversations with folks
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: like Congressman Warren Davidson after the top of the hour news.
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: I hope you can stick around for that. It's seven
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: oh six if fifty five KERCD Talk station. You're very
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: happy Friday Eve you extra special day to day. Of course,
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: since there's nothing going on in the world, we'll just
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: talk about what's going on in our family lives with
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: Congressman Warren Davidson. Welcome back, arm Davidson. I appreciate your
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: regular willingness to spend some time with my listeners and
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: me about these all important issues going on. It's good
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: to have you back on the show, Sir.
- 1:03:44Speaker 3: Yeah, I always love it. Nice to talk with you. Brian,
- 1:03:46Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: If you don't mind. Obviously we can talk about Save Act,
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: the government shutdown that's going on, TSA, and all that
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: goes along with it, but I wanted to start with
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: iron if we could. Yesterday, the Senate defeated a measure
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: to advance a war Powers resolution, same thing that happened
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: earlier in the month, when the House defeated a proposal
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: sponsored by Congress and Massi and Rocana. I know that
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: you were on the side of Massi on that one,
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: but this left me with a question mark floating around
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: I wanted to address with you, and I kind of
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: started thinking about the Iranian position. They have to have
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: some measure of understanding about the Warpowers Act Slash Resolution
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three, and the way I understand it absence
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: specific authorization, authorization and use of military force which hasn't
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: happened yet, or a declaration of war. After Trump commits
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: troops in the combat zone and notifies Congress TikTok, the
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: clock starts running on the sixty days. So if you
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: don't have a warp authorization for use of force or
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: a declaration of war, after that sixty day clock runs,
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: the law obligates the troops be withdrawn, subject to a
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: thirty day extension to do so. So is the clock running?
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: And what will it mean if the let's say nine,
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: you give them the extra thirty days. If the ninety
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: days runs out and there has been no congressional action,
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: does Trump literally have to pull all the troops out
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: regardless of where we are relative to victory in the situation.
- 1:05:12Speaker 9: Yeah, So you know the key word here. There's three
- 1:05:16Speaker 9: ways that the War Powers Resolution kicks in, and neither
- 1:05:20Speaker 9: of those. The first two apply when there's not been
- 1:05:23Speaker 9: a declaration of war, and then two there's not been
- 1:05:25Speaker 9: a specific authorization of force. And then the third clause
- 1:05:28Speaker 9: is in order to prevent an imminent attack. And that's
- 1:05:31Speaker 9: why you see things like you know, what is the
- 1:05:33Speaker 9: word imminent? Right, you know, Tom Cotton saying it's been
- 1:05:35Speaker 9: imminent for forty seven years, which is nonsensical. But you
- 1:05:39Speaker 9: saw like Pulsey Gabbard's you know, very carefully crafted statement
- 1:05:43Speaker 9: that you put out earlier this week ahead of her
- 1:05:47Speaker 9: Senate testimony saying, you know, the commander in chief ultimately
- 1:05:51Speaker 9: has the decision of what he considers imminent. And President
- 1:05:55Speaker 9: Trump considered you know, Iran attack imminent and therefore he's
- 1:06:01Speaker 9: in compliance with the War powers thing. So you know this,
- 1:06:05Speaker 9: you know, depends on the word what is the what
- 1:06:07Speaker 9: does the word mean? And if the president decides it's imminent. Okay, Now,
- 1:06:12Speaker 9: the president basically, according to the War Powers can do
- 1:06:15Speaker 9: whatever he wants for sixty days and then without an authorization,
- 1:06:20Speaker 9: you essentially say, well, look, you don't want to just
- 1:06:22Speaker 9: hastily leave no matter what.
- 1:06:24Speaker 3: So you've got like a thirty day window to kind
- 1:06:26Speaker 3: of do make.
- 1:06:27Speaker 9: An orderly withdraw because you really have a ninety day
- 1:06:29Speaker 9: window because you know the sixtieth days coming, yeah, exactly,
- 1:06:32Speaker 9: So essentially have essentially have ninety days to kind of
- 1:06:36Speaker 9: wrap up something. And you know, some of my colleagues
- 1:06:40Speaker 9: don't accept that either. They say, you know that that
- 1:06:42Speaker 9: basically the president can do whatever he wants and there
- 1:06:45Speaker 9: will be no constitutional crisis in sixty or ninety days.
- 1:06:49Speaker 9: But a lot of Republicans said, well, okay, I you know,
- 1:06:55Speaker 9: I think that you know, that would clearly put as
- 1:07:00Speaker 9: a constitutional crisis if the president continues operations beyond that
- 1:07:04Speaker 9: timeframe and there isn't a specific authorization.
- 1:07:07Speaker 3: And this came in. You know, this, this debate isn't unprecedented.
- 1:07:11Speaker 9: I mean, the whole Korean War was flogged for you know,
- 1:07:14Speaker 9: three years, and it was called a police action. But
- 1:07:18Speaker 9: of course we don't refer to it as the Korean
- 1:07:20Speaker 9: police action. We refer to it as a war because
- 1:07:23Speaker 9: we know what the word means. Yeah, so that's the
- 1:07:29Speaker 9: other language nuance where they're saying, well, it's not a war.
- 1:07:32Speaker 3: I know.
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: So this all comes down to subjective interpretation. So if
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: the War Powers Resolution had actually defined eminent as something,
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: and this really reminds me of what I encountered when
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: I used to do coverage litigation for pollution cleanups, Sudden
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: and unexpected discharge that that was covered in these insurance policies.
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: But you had, you know, drips of pollution coming from
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: you know, a poorly created pipelines and things at manufacturing
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: facilities that were up being literally for decades and decades.
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: That was argued to be sudden and unexpected, you know,
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: and that's the argument that gets made. You know, it's like,
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: oh my god, we're gonna lose coverage if we don't
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: make the argument. So it was the discovery they discovered it.
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: So in spite of the fact it's been going on
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: for decades and decades, it was nonetheless considered sudden and
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: unexpected eminent. I mean, if there's no definition of eminent,
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: then you're left with the presidential subjectivity. No, that was eminent, okay,
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: and I'm allowed to do whatever the hell I want.
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: That's that's where we are, I guess Congressman Davidson.
- 1:08:30Speaker 9: Yeah, And I mean, look, that's that's what President Trump
- 1:08:33Speaker 9: was reluctant to go to war. I mean, he's spoken
- 1:08:36Speaker 9: critically about the idea of a war with Iran for
- 1:08:39Speaker 9: you know, a long time, way before he was president,
- 1:08:42Speaker 9: all through his first term, and so I think a
- 1:08:45Speaker 9: lot of people were very surprised. I was, and I thought,
- 1:08:48Speaker 9: as we're sending carriers over there and you know, a
- 1:08:51Speaker 9: substantial portion of the Air Force, I'm like, well, something's
- 1:08:54Speaker 9: going on.
- 1:08:54Speaker 3: I'm gonna need a briefing. Show.
- 1:08:55Speaker 9: I went and talked with folks at the White House
- 1:08:57Speaker 9: I met the monday before you know, this military operation began,
- 1:09:02Speaker 9: and I was like, oh, well, all right, so what's
- 1:09:06Speaker 9: going on? Well, negotiations, right, nothing to be concerned about.
- 1:09:10Speaker 9: But yes, of course, because we've never sent like half
- 1:09:13Speaker 9: the Air Force and two carrier groups and never started shooting.
- 1:09:16Speaker 3: So you know, I wasn't.
- 1:09:18Speaker 9: I was only surprised by the timing when I woke up,
- 1:09:21Speaker 9: you know that Saturday morning and said, oh, well, it
- 1:09:24Speaker 9: looks like things are underway now. And and so when
- 1:09:29Speaker 9: we came back and got more classified briefings, one for
- 1:09:32Speaker 9: the big group and a separate, smaller one, so that
- 1:09:37Speaker 9: then it's like, well, I'm surely I'm going to hear
- 1:09:40Speaker 9: you know what what President Trump found persuasive and imminent,
- 1:09:45Speaker 9: and I haven't seen it. Maybe it's more classified than
- 1:09:48Speaker 9: even a one on one briefing can be shared. I
- 1:09:51Speaker 9: don't know, but I can only vote on what I
- 1:09:53Speaker 9: know I'm like, well, I can vote on what you
- 1:09:55Speaker 9: share with me. I can't change my mind, right, and
- 1:09:58Speaker 9: I'm not going to pretend that I don't know what
- 1:10:00Speaker 9: imminent means and I don't know what war means, and
- 1:10:04Speaker 9: my oath is to the Constitution, and that's a consistent vote.
- 1:10:07Speaker 9: I've taken you on all these war powers resolutions over
- 1:10:11Speaker 9: the time i've been here.
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: Well, you mentioned the constitutional crisis, and I can see
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: that unfolding and moving away from the legality, the legitimacy,
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: the constitutionality of the war that is being waged right now.
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: Practically speaking, it is. And we've learned a lot of
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: the past several weeks about the Strait of Horror moves
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: and its vital importance to the globe. Thankfully, we are
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: not reliant upon that Straight of Horror moves at least
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: for anything less than five percent. So we're learning a
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: really hard lesson globally on this, but more fundamentally, the
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: idea of leaving Iran in a position to close on
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: a whim, which it can clearly do the Straight of
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: Horror moves into the future. That's a global threat that
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: they will continue to have control over. So logistically speaking,
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: moving aside again from the legality of the constitutionality, leaving
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: that problem unsolved is going to keep the globe in
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: a perilous position relative to Iran in the strait.
- 1:11:08Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, this is the thing. You can't
- 1:11:11Speaker 3: put the toothpaste back in. What's been done.
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: It's been done.
- 1:11:14Speaker 3: And you know, there's a.
- 1:11:17Speaker 9: I think that at the end of the day, if
- 1:11:20Speaker 9: you wanted to do a decapitation strike and he killed
- 1:11:23Speaker 9: the leadership of the country of Iran, you needed to
- 1:11:27Speaker 9: keep that circle incredibly small.
- 1:11:30Speaker 3: They did that, and it worked.
- 1:11:31Speaker 9: They kept it super small even within the administration according
- 1:11:35Speaker 9: to public report, right right.
- 1:11:37Speaker 3: So, and it worked, right, But then that wasn't the
- 1:11:42Speaker 3: only goal.
- 1:11:43Speaker 9: They laid out lots of other things, to the point
- 1:11:46Speaker 9: where you know, the president has, as is often his
- 1:11:51Speaker 9: model in negotiating, said just about everything in the world, So.
- 1:11:56Speaker 3: No one truly knows what his actual position is, you know.
- 1:12:00Speaker 9: And and and so that leaves a lot of uncertainty
- 1:12:05Speaker 9: out there.
- 1:12:05Speaker 3: But the reality is, yeah, if you're going to leave.
- 1:12:07Speaker 9: IRGC the current leadership power structure in place in Iran,
- 1:12:12Speaker 9: they're going to continue to pose a threat. And if
- 1:12:15Speaker 9: they were a threat before there's certainly there's shouldly gonna
- 1:12:17Speaker 9: be a little more salty now. Yeah, So I think
- 1:12:20Speaker 9: that's I think that's the case. Is do you go
- 1:12:23Speaker 9: on with now a full on regime change war? And
- 1:12:26Speaker 9: what people need to know is this there will be
- 1:12:29Speaker 9: no more irgc uh kind of commitment.
- 1:12:32Speaker 3: I mean, that's a year's long.
- 1:12:35Speaker 9: War that involves troops on the ground, and I honestly
- 1:12:39Speaker 9: don't think people are mentally prepared for that. Yeah, and
- 1:12:44Speaker 9: and certainly we're not signing up tons of allies to say,
- 1:12:46Speaker 9: oh yeah, we want to be part of this fight too,
- 1:12:49Speaker 9: So the case hasn't really been made for war with
- 1:12:52Speaker 9: Iran at that scale.
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: Well, pause on that allies comment, because I'm really puzzled
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: the people screaming the loud about this could actually offer
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: help with keeping the strait of horror moves open. And
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: they're the ones most subject to the strait of hormones
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: being closed, our NATO allies, and yet they're screaming against
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: this conflict. So we can bring that back up and
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: we come back seven to sixteen more with Congress Warren
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: Davidson of this brief break and starting with color and
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: electric fan Warren Davidson all right, for we leave the
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: Iranian contract conflict, I think the it seems to me
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: the world has probably gotten a wake up call, given
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: the straight of hormones is so critical to their a survival.
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: Energy going through the strait of Horrormovez just you know,
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: fueling NATO countries and Australia's another one's been significantly impacted
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: by it. They had like a thirty day supply and
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: that's it. The lights go out after that, I mean,
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: largely done it to themselves in pursuit of this nonsensical
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: global warming policies. But you know, if Iran ultimately maintains
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: some measure of control over the country and other current
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: regime in other words, they have that ability to flip
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: the switch and mine the strait of hormones are otherwise
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: threatening to cut it down. This is going to happen again.
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: Do you think between now and let's say it's stopped around,
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: still empowered, are these countries other countries in the world
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: going to pursue all the above energy's policy like we did,
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: which frees us from our connections hard lesson we learn
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy three with the OPAC and BARGO. But
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: we're not there anymore, opek and shot off the flow.
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: We're still going to have our own supplies. I know
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: global supply is the point of the price point. But
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: do you think this is going to cause a like
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: tectonic shift in the right direction for the rest of
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: the world. Will we learn a lesson like COVID that, gee,
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: we rely on Chinese exclusively for our pharmaceuticals. That's a
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: bad path to be on. We need to change things.
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: Congressman Davidson, Yeah, I mean, I hope so for their sake.
- 1:14:41Speaker 9: But I think of the other thing is it exposed
- 1:14:42Speaker 9: is what President Trump said, you know since his first term,
- 1:14:46Speaker 9: is that our European allies are under investing in defense.
- 1:14:49Speaker 9: And you know, you think about, like why was President
- 1:14:51Speaker 9: Trump concerned about Greenland? Because Denmark can't defend Greenland? Can
- 1:14:56Speaker 9: They don't have a navy that can do anything truly
- 1:14:59Speaker 9: use full beyond like near shore stuff for themselves basically,
- 1:15:04Speaker 9: And that's what you're running into with a lot of
- 1:15:07Speaker 9: the Europeans.
- 1:15:07Speaker 3: They might say, oh, well, you know, this isn't our war.
- 1:15:09Speaker 9: They also don't have the ability to project power anywhere.
- 1:15:13Speaker 9: They don't have the resources to engage in this way.
- 1:15:17Speaker 9: And you know, they are clearly posed a threat by
- 1:15:22Speaker 9: you know, actions in Ukraine, and they were content for
- 1:15:25Speaker 9: US to keep cutting hundreds of billions of dollars of checks,
- 1:15:28Speaker 9: and they did too in terms of pledges, and they
- 1:15:31Speaker 9: certainly brought in a lot of refugees. But they don't
- 1:15:33Speaker 9: have the military power that would be able to be
- 1:15:38Speaker 9: projected in a lot of places. And I think that's
- 1:15:39Speaker 9: the other thing that this exposes.
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: It really does. And I know a lot of people
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: are angry that Donald Trupe is ruling our relations with
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: their friendly NATO countries, but he certainly served to illustrate
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: the very point you made. We have a mutual defense agreement.
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: If someone were to attack, let's say, the homeland here
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: in the United States, we would expect the NATO countries
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: to rise up and share in our defense. If they
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: don't have a military, what bang for the buck are
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: we getting by paying for all their military for all
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: their basically police protection with our military presidence in NATO
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: at one hundreds of billions of dollars annually.
- 1:16:12Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, look, they they maybe rightly say it's
- 1:16:16Speaker 9: a war of choice. I think it's a war of choice.
- 1:16:17Speaker 9: We certainly chose the timing and whether ultimately to walk
- 1:16:21Speaker 9: away from negotiations. I agree from what I had seen
- 1:16:25Speaker 9: the negotiations were by design going nowhere.
- 1:16:28Speaker 3: Marco Rubio has laid that.
- 1:16:30Speaker 9: Laid that out everywhere, and I think the President was
- 1:16:32Speaker 9: right to say, well, we're not going to give false threats.
- 1:16:35Speaker 9: Something's gonna happen. The question is you know how much
- 1:16:38Speaker 9: into what scale? And clearly you know whole range of
- 1:16:42Speaker 9: debates on that. But even if they wanted to, the
- 1:16:46Speaker 9: Europeans couldn't do this. And so even if you say, well,
- 1:16:49Speaker 9: it's their choice right now, the rational choices. Look, you
- 1:16:52Speaker 9: guys are more dependent on the energy coming from there.
- 1:16:54Speaker 9: Right as you exposed in the problem for US is
- 1:16:57Speaker 9: going to be and less acute than the Europeans and
- 1:17:00Speaker 9: less acute than China and others who replied a lot
- 1:17:04Speaker 9: on Irani and oil. Nevertheless, because it's a global commodity,
- 1:17:09Speaker 9: the price is going to keep going up in the meantime,
- 1:17:12Speaker 9: and so you know, our.
- 1:17:13Speaker 3: Folks are feeling it already.
- 1:17:14Speaker 9: I mean, there's a significant price shock already in the market,
- 1:17:18Speaker 9: and you know that's likely to endure because you're losing
- 1:17:22Speaker 9: through the straits twenty million.
- 1:17:25Speaker 3: Barrels of oil a day that flow through the straits.
- 1:17:27Speaker 3: Be four moves.
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: Yes, conresson Davidson going back on a tear I've been
- 1:17:31Speaker 1: on of late. Isn't that a good thing? Because I
- 1:17:34Speaker 1: thought the price of gas was necessarily supposed to increase
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: and we haven't yet reached levels we felt during COVID.
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: We have yet reached levels that you know, California has
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: been feeling every single day and moment in time since
- 1:17:45Speaker 1: they adopted these crazy global warming policies. So I thought
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: this was a good idea, sir.
- 1:17:50Speaker 3: Well, it is funny to see, you know, the left who.
- 1:17:53Speaker 9: Love the Green New Deal and want gas prices to
- 1:17:56Speaker 9: be high so people don't drive, complain that gas prices
- 1:17:59Speaker 9: here high and it makes it more expensive to drive.
- 1:18:02Speaker 9: But look, if it weren't for double standards, they wouldn't
- 1:18:04Speaker 9: have standards. I mean, they know that this is gonna
- 1:18:07Speaker 9: be unpopular, and so they're shifting, shifting to that side
- 1:18:11Speaker 9: of it. And it's the same look you see. This
- 1:18:14Speaker 9: is the painful thing about some of the things that
- 1:18:16Speaker 9: you vote on. You see people shifting. Well, you know,
- 1:18:20Speaker 9: depending on who the president is, I'm going to be
- 1:18:22Speaker 9: for this or for that, and it's like, well, look,
- 1:18:26Speaker 9: I mean, if you want a parliament, just create a parliament.
- 1:18:28Speaker 9: But both parties in essence do that a lot of times.
- 1:18:31Speaker 3: And I think.
- 1:18:32Speaker 9: It's fair to say, how dare politicians inject politics into politics?
- 1:18:37Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 1:18:38Speaker 9: Well, for a lot of folks it's purely political and
- 1:18:41Speaker 9: not so much principle.
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: Well, and at moments in time like this, this is
- 1:18:43Speaker 1: quite obvious and revealed to the world. If they're paying attention,
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: you know, you would think that they'd be running around
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: streaming this is why we need windmills. Congressman Davidson. Huh,
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: that doesn't work, does it.
- 1:18:55Speaker 3: It won't take long.
- 1:18:55Speaker 9: They'll want more more solar panels over top of more
- 1:18:58Speaker 9: ferral farm ground, and it kills me when they do that.
- 1:19:01Speaker 9: But hopefully we can keep that turned off.
- 1:19:03Speaker 1: Ford Park Company, Congressman Davidson, and I've enjoyed this conversation
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: and your willingness to talk to everybody about this. Will
- 1:19:08Speaker 1: the government ever open again? I know that TSA is
- 1:19:11Speaker 1: causing huge problems. Three four hour lines and now they're
- 1:19:14Speaker 1: talking about maybe shutting down some airports, just one problem
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: brought about by the government's shutdown. But they're still clamoring
- 1:19:21Speaker 1: over changes to the Apartment of Homeland Securities tactics with
- 1:19:24Speaker 1: regard to ICE. I'm sorry, DHS is fully funded for
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: ICE agents for the next several years out of the
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: one big beautiful axo that's not going to stop. Is
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: this ever going to open back up or the Democrats
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: finally going to capitulate at some point.
- 1:19:38Speaker 9: Look, I don't know what it's going to take to
- 1:19:40Speaker 9: get the Democrats to yes on this, but I don't
- 1:19:43Speaker 9: know what it's going to take to get the Senate
- 1:19:44Speaker 9: to stay in session. These guys are acting like everything's fine,
- 1:19:48Speaker 9: and I'm like, look, man, you get people missing paychecks
- 1:19:53Speaker 9: now that are part of Homeland Security and they're still
- 1:19:57Speaker 9: overwhelmingly showing up and doing the job. But not the Senate.
- 1:20:02Speaker 9: They're like, oh, yep, gone, taking trips all over the world, totels, fundraisers,
- 1:20:07Speaker 9: dog shows.
- 1:20:09Speaker 3: You know who knows what you're like.
- 1:20:11Speaker 9: You guys can't even give us a vote on the
- 1:20:12Speaker 9: Save America Act, which is our top priority. And you
- 1:20:16Speaker 9: know you could at least stick around for the weekend
- 1:20:18Speaker 9: and hold each other in on the floor of the
- 1:20:21Speaker 9: Senate until you get to yes on something. So that's
- 1:20:23Speaker 9: the I think the biggest frustration I've got there, and
- 1:20:27Speaker 9: Republicans technically control the Senate, I think, so I'd like
- 1:20:30Speaker 9: to see some pressure applied.
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: I know it's a tough road to go down, and
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily a fan of getting rid of the
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: sixty vote threshold because I certainly can see a time
- 1:20:41Speaker 1: when the Democrats take over and then, well, I don't know,
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: Puerto Rico and Washington, DC are made a state, they
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: decide to pack the court, and the only thing that
- 1:20:48Speaker 1: can stop that from going forward is maybe the need
- 1:20:50Speaker 1: for sixty votes in the Senate. We'll have to dress
- 1:20:53Speaker 1: that down the road at some point. Congressman Warren Davidson,
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: you're a good man for coming on the show, and
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: I certainly appreciate it. I know I always hear from
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: my listeners and they are very pleased to come on

- 1:22:30Speaker 1: A power Youoamerica dot org is where you need to
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: be and real quick here, we had that Cincinny satisfaction survey.
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: I mentioned it yesterday, talked about it, Quires, Scott Wortman
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: reported on it. They do it every two years. It's
- 1:22:41Speaker 1: not rosy. But the ETC Director community research guy named
- 1:22:44Speaker 1: Ryan Murray, who did the survey, was suggested maybe it's messaging.
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: And I laughed out loud about this. So we're we're
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: dissatisfied generally speaking with the priorities of city government. And
- 1:22:58Speaker 1: he suggested some of the lower satisfaction for residents could
- 1:23:01Speaker 1: be addressed through better public relations. How we are managing
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: the expectations of what you should see and how do
- 1:23:07Speaker 1: we tell our story of what we're doing. Yeah, just
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: so a narrative is going to change the reality what
- 1:23:12Speaker 1: people see. Pivoting over to Sarah Herringer, I had the
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: blessing and pleasure of meeting her Poor Sarah Herringer, her
- 1:23:17Speaker 1: husband stabbed to death in front of her in their
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: own apartment and over the rhine. She had a rather
- 1:23:23Speaker 1: interesting reaction to that survey yesterday, posted on her website.
- 1:23:26Speaker 1: I am taking the liberty to read that right now
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: because it is insightful. Perception can shape reality when it
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: comes to safety in downtown sin Say. That's in quotes.
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: That's how the enquire shows to frame the problem. Sarah writes.
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: It's a neat sentence. It's also a convenient one because
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: it shifts the burden away from the conditions and onto
- 1:23:43Speaker 1: the people responding to them. I did not run a
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: business on perception. I ran it on numbers, and I'm
- 1:23:49Speaker 1: looking at those numbers now. From twenty twenty two on.
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: Our business declined year over year at a greater percentage
- 1:23:56Speaker 1: than a healthy business would expect to grow. Most businesses
- 1:23:59Speaker 1: aim for somewhere in the range of five to ten
- 1:24:01Speaker 1: percent annual growth. We were losing that instead consistently they
- 1:24:06Speaker 1: owned a gym and over the rhine. That's not perception.
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: That is contraction. There's also a reality that does not
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: fit cleanly into a headline. My husband was murdered in
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: his own home in this city. So no, I don't experience.
- 1:24:20Speaker 1: This is a misunderstanding between data and feeling. I experienced.
- 1:24:23Speaker 1: It is what happens when conditions are softened into language
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: that is easier to publish. Anyone who's operated a business
- 1:24:31Speaker 1: downtown understands a simple structural truth. Downtown does not survive
- 1:24:35Speaker 1: on residents alone. It survives on people choosing to come in.
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: That's always been the model. In the late nineteenth century
- 1:24:41Speaker 1: over the Ryme was one of the most densely populated
- 1:24:43Speaker 1: neighborhoods in the country, estimates ranging from two hundred to
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: three hundred thousand residents. That has not been the reality
- 1:24:50Speaker 1: for over a century. Today, the population is closer to
- 1:24:53Speaker 1: twenty to twenty five thousand. That difference is not nostalgic.
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: It's structural. Without density, you rely on true you rely
- 1:25:01Speaker 1: on people deciding it is worth it to come down
- 1:25:04Speaker 1: to park, to walk, to stay, And right now they
- 1:25:08Speaker 1: are deciding otherwise, not because they're confused, not because they've
- 1:25:12Speaker 1: been misled, because they're paying attention instead of isolating where
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: the problem is concentrated. Over the Rhine West End, we're
- 1:25:19Speaker 1: given citywide averages that smooth the picture just enough to
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: avoid accountability. This is not clarification, it's dilution. And when
- 1:25:29Speaker 1: media reduces measurable economic deadline decline and behavioral change to perception,
- 1:25:34Speaker 1: it stops functionings. The check on power begins to functioning
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: as a shield for it. Small business owners are not
- 1:25:41Speaker 1: the problem in this equation. They're the reason Cincinnati worked
- 1:25:45Speaker 1: at all. For years, this city grew because people believe
- 1:25:48Speaker 1: in each other. They spent locally. They built an economy
- 1:25:51Speaker 1: that did not depend on outside or corporations to carry it.
- 1:25:54Speaker 1: That was not policy, it was culture. But culture cannot
- 1:25:58Speaker 1: indefinitely compensate for leader that refuses to confront reality. The
- 1:26:04Speaker 1: current conditions of the city are not accidental, are the
- 1:26:06Speaker 1: result of decisions, results of priorities, of the result of
- 1:26:09Speaker 1: leadership that has been chosen. The city does not drift
- 1:26:12Speaker 1: into this it votes its way there. If those in
- 1:26:15Speaker 1: power are more concerned with maintaining a narrative than confronting
- 1:26:18Speaker 1: the conditions that are driving behavior, the outcome is predictable.
- 1:26:21Speaker 1: People stop calming, money stops moving, investment slows, and the
- 1:26:25Speaker 1: system that once sustained the city begins to erode. This
- 1:26:29Speaker 1: is not an argument for dismantling institutions. It's an argument
- 1:26:32Speaker 1: for expecting them to function, for expecting accuracy and reporting,
- 1:26:36Speaker 1: for expecting precision in data, for expecting leadership to address
- 1:26:40Speaker 1: problems where they actually exist. Because messaging cannot substitute for reality,
- 1:26:46Speaker 1: you can shape perception, you cannot force participation. Right now,
- 1:26:52Speaker 1: people are choosing not to participate. Call that perception if
- 1:26:57Speaker 1: you want the market calls withdrawal. Sarah Herringer brilliant and
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: passionate and hitting it on the bull's eye. Seven thirty seven,

- 1:28:47Speaker 1: Master's degree from Ohio State University or the Ohio State University,
- 1:28:51Speaker 1: and he also writes a weblog. But he's doing a
- 1:28:53Speaker 1: seminar tonight on an amazing, amazing legendary sports hero Jesse
- 1:28:58Speaker 1: Owens Ohio and Jesse Owens track and field phenomenon and
- 1:29:01Speaker 1: symbol of resistance. Welcome to the Boring show, John Kersey.
- 1:29:04Speaker 1: It's great having you on today.
- 1:29:06Speaker 11: Brian, thank you for that warm introduction. That's terrific.
- 1:29:10Speaker 1: Oh no, this listen. You've got to have massive, massive
- 1:29:13Speaker 1: respect for Jesse Owens in a racist period of time
- 1:29:16Speaker 1: in this country. And you're talking about the Olympics in Germany.
- 1:29:21Speaker 1: He beat the Germans, which is a total embarrassment to
- 1:29:25Speaker 1: Adolf Hiller and I just it's a phenomenon. It's really
- 1:29:29Speaker 1: a great story. And honestly, John, I did not know
- 1:29:32Speaker 1: Jesse Owens was from Ohio, so I'm an enlightened man,
- 1:29:34Speaker 1: a little bit more so this morning.
- 1:29:37Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:29:37Speaker 11: Well, let's be exact. He was born in Alabama, but
- 1:29:39Speaker 11: his family came to Ohio when Jesse was eight and
- 1:29:42Speaker 11: a half years old as part of the Great Migration,
- 1:29:45Speaker 11: huge influx of blacks from the South to the north,
- 1:29:48Speaker 11: you know, getting away from a sharecropping and crotton growing
- 1:29:51Speaker 11: and all of that. And he grew up in Cleveland.
- 1:29:54Speaker 11: He went to middle school, high school at East Czech
- 1:29:58Speaker 11: in Cleveland. He got state championships for me East Tech
- 1:30:01Speaker 11: in the early thirties and he was a sensation in track.
- 1:30:04Speaker 11: He was known for being a track star and he
- 1:30:07Speaker 11: maintained that until his sophomore year Ohio State when he
- 1:30:10Speaker 11: became a superstar when he broke four world records in
- 1:30:14Speaker 11: the span of about forty five minutes at the Big
- 1:30:16Speaker 11: Ten Track Championships at ann Arbream, Michigan. And to this
- 1:30:20Speaker 11: day it is considered to be, by the way, the
- 1:30:22Speaker 11: greatest forty five minutes in all of sports.
- 1:30:24Speaker 1: To do something like that, that is great. To learn
- 1:30:27Speaker 1: a little bit more about his background, well, let me
- 1:30:29Speaker 1: ask you. I understand from at least the notes, and
- 1:30:31Speaker 1: I need you to be talking about this tonight. Now
- 1:30:33Speaker 1: you can either show up live to the Empower Youth
- 1:30:35Speaker 1: Seminar Studio three hundred Great Oaks Drive, just go to
- 1:30:38Speaker 1: the side annex entrance and walk on in, or log
- 1:30:41Speaker 1: in from home Empower You America Dot, or just register
- 1:30:43Speaker 1: ahead of time. But you actually met Jesse Owens.
- 1:30:48Speaker 11: I did. I was a pimply faced fifteen year old
- 1:30:51Speaker 11: at a high school in Cleveland, and he came and
- 1:30:54Speaker 11: spoke at an assembly at my high school. And I
- 1:30:56Speaker 11: knew Jesse Owens was. I didn't know his life story,
- 1:30:59Speaker 11: but I was wise enough we were all done, to
- 1:31:01Speaker 11: grab one of my spiral bound notebook sheets of paper
- 1:31:04Speaker 11: and shove it at him, and he gave me his autographics,
- 1:31:06Speaker 11: his best of whats Jesse Owens. It's mounted on my wall.
- 1:31:10Speaker 11: My wife has got a couple of pictures with him
- 1:31:12Speaker 11: that's put next to it, and it's just a constant
- 1:31:14Speaker 11: memento of how great that experience was. But I didn't
- 1:31:17Speaker 11: write the book because just of that Brian four years
- 1:31:21Speaker 11: ago was a one hundred anniversary of the Owens family
- 1:31:24Speaker 11: coming to Cleveland for them becoming Clevelanders, and I pitched
- 1:31:28Speaker 11: the idea of doing a speech about that for a
- 1:31:30Speaker 11: speakers program at Cahoga Community College, and they agreed. So
- 1:31:34Speaker 11: that led to me doing more research on Owens for
- 1:31:36Speaker 11: the speech and before I knew it, I was doing
- 1:31:39Speaker 11: so much research as a matter of fact, that there
- 1:31:41Speaker 11: will be a book coming out from Kinnistate University Press
- 1:31:44Speaker 11: next year titled Jesse Owens Sensation, Superstar, Survivor, Symbol, which
- 1:31:50Speaker 11: is really covering his entire life.
- 1:31:52Speaker 1: Nice alert of title to a love that. Now, can
- 1:31:54Speaker 1: I ask you specifically? I thought we had sort of
- 1:31:58Speaker 1: solved the problem of racism in this country, but it
- 1:32:00Speaker 1: generates a lot of business and a lot of political fodder.
- 1:32:02Speaker 1: So we've my feeling we've moved back. But in Jesse
- 1:32:05Speaker 1: Owen's time in nineteen thirties, most notably at least that
- 1:32:08Speaker 1: period of time when he won the Olympics, obviously we
- 1:32:11Speaker 1: were awash with Jim Crow laws or a whole lot
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: of a lot more racism back then. We still had
- 1:32:15Speaker 1: the existence of the Klan in the South. So did
- 1:32:18Speaker 1: he personally experience are you aware of in writing your
- 1:32:21Speaker 1: book JESSEO and Sensation, super Ar, Survivor and Symbol? Did
- 1:32:24Speaker 1: he personally experience challenges with racism in this country, or
- 1:32:27Speaker 1: was his prominence as one of the world's greatest athletes
- 1:32:30Speaker 1: something that minimized that. I'm just kind of curious, Brian.
- 1:32:35Speaker 11: Sadly it did not. He was discriminated against horribly. Even
- 1:32:40Speaker 11: after winning all those gold medals. The AAU actually stripped
- 1:32:44Speaker 11: him of his amateur status. And you know, people who
- 1:32:47Speaker 11: know a bit about Owens might remember that he was
- 1:32:49Speaker 11: resorted forced, basically humiliated to do things right, run against
- 1:32:53Speaker 11: the race horses to make money. It's kind of like exhibitions. Yeah,
- 1:32:57Speaker 11: that was going on in the thirties and in the
- 1:32:58Speaker 11: forties in his life. Three years after the gold medals
- 1:33:02Speaker 11: he filed for bankruptcy. He had a very difficult period
- 1:33:05Speaker 11: of life when he was married, had three children, and
- 1:33:09Speaker 11: was just really finding it hard to get by. In
- 1:33:11Speaker 11: the late nineteen thirties, he went back to Ohio State
- 1:33:14Speaker 11: and was trying to gain his degree because he didn't graduate,
- 1:33:17Speaker 11: but he really didn't have the intellectual foundation in his
- 1:33:20Speaker 11: high school experience to get a college degree. Nowadays, we
- 1:33:24Speaker 11: have you know, tutors and remedial learning and things of
- 1:33:26Speaker 11: that nature, but they didn't have that back then. So
- 1:33:29Speaker 11: what basically turned his life around was world War two.
- 1:33:32Speaker 11: He ended up being an HR manager for the Ford
- 1:33:35Speaker 11: Motor Company up in Detroit in the will of Run
- 1:33:37Speaker 11: plant where they were making all the bombers that helped
- 1:33:39Speaker 11: win the war, and that gradually moved him from the
- 1:33:44Speaker 11: survivor phase into a symbol phase because during the Cold War,
- 1:33:48Speaker 11: our State Department realized, Hey, we've got this guy that
- 1:33:51Speaker 11: kind of proved to Hitler that the imperian supremacy was nonsense.
- 1:33:55Speaker 11: So the State Department actually began to use Owens for
- 1:33:58Speaker 11: events and activities to go around the world and be
- 1:34:01Speaker 11: kind of like a symbol of America.
- 1:34:03Speaker 1: Well, I'm just wildly curious if if Joe Lewis ever
- 1:34:07Speaker 1: came up in the context of talking about Jesse Owens,
- 1:34:09Speaker 1: because it seems to me a parallel could be drawn
- 1:34:11Speaker 1: since Joe Lewis the boxer beat Matt Schmack Schmelling around
- 1:34:16Speaker 1: the same period of time, embarrassing Hitler as well. That
- 1:34:18Speaker 1: was a complete victory by a black man over what
- 1:34:21Speaker 1: was supposed to be a superior race all white folks.
- 1:34:25Speaker 11: Yes, Brian, they were friends. Joe Lewis came to Cleveland
- 1:34:28Speaker 11: in nineteen thirty five. This was before he'd become the
- 1:34:31Speaker 11: world champion, but he was obviously the great hope for blacks.
- 1:34:36Speaker 11: And Jesse Owens met Joe Lewis because this was just
- 1:34:39Speaker 11: after Owens had set those four world records. They became
- 1:34:42Speaker 11: very good and fast friends and became pals over the years,
- 1:34:45Speaker 11: and there's some great stories about that, and I covered
- 1:34:48Speaker 11: some of that in my book. I think the one
- 1:34:50Speaker 11: that's most Brian, The thing I'd be most interesting is
- 1:34:53Speaker 11: just the month before the Olympics began was the first
- 1:34:55Speaker 11: of the Lewis Smelling fights in New York City, where
- 1:34:58Speaker 11: Smelling had beaten Lewis and not to Germany didn't expect
- 1:35:02Speaker 11: that to happen, but boy did they ever take advantage
- 1:35:05Speaker 11: of it. Hitler contacted the captain of the Hindenburg, got
- 1:35:08Speaker 11: a new seat reserved for Schmelling to get him back
- 1:35:11Speaker 11: to Germany as soon as possible. They did propaganda films
- 1:35:14Speaker 11: talking about Schmelling beating Joe Lewis, and they paraded Shmelling
- 1:35:18Speaker 11: around in the Olympic village. And that was the first
- 1:35:22Speaker 11: time that Schmelling met Jesse Owens. And let's just say
- 1:35:25Speaker 11: it was a pretty icy meeting because Owens was friends
- 1:35:27Speaker 11: with Lewis and he really resented the factor of what
- 1:35:30Speaker 11: Hitler was doing with smelling at that point.
- 1:35:32Speaker 1: How about that, Well, I'm glad I asked that question
- 1:35:34Speaker 1: that sort of popped into my head because I was
- 1:35:35Speaker 1: aware of the Lewis Schmelling fight, so parallels had been drawn,
- 1:35:39Speaker 1: and I guess they had a lot of shared experiences
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: given the issues with race at that time.
- 1:35:45Speaker 11: They did, and sadly was also discriminated.
- 1:35:49Speaker 4: Again.
- 1:35:49Speaker 11: I think the thing that makes the Lewis pass a
- 1:35:51Speaker 11: more sympathetic figure in the American diustry at least is
- 1:35:54Speaker 11: Lewis did enlist in the army and he was used
- 1:35:57Speaker 11: in World War II in that capacity. But sadly, just
- 1:36:00Speaker 11: like all boxers, you know, Muhammad Ali the same thing
- 1:36:03Speaker 11: thirty years later. You know, they have handlers, they have contracts.
- 1:36:06Speaker 11: In the case of Joe Lewis, avy he was addicted
- 1:36:09Speaker 11: to drugs and he retired and then had to come
- 1:36:13Speaker 11: back because he owed the irs an unbelievable amount of money.
- 1:36:16Speaker 11: And Lewis's ending was really tragic in terms of both
- 1:36:19Speaker 11: his boxing career and later on his own life. Owens,
- 1:36:22Speaker 11: by contrast, was much higher regarded. In the last twenty
- 1:36:26Speaker 11: years of his life, Owens was a symbol and people
- 1:36:29Speaker 11: kind of loved hearing from him. He'd go and make
- 1:36:32Speaker 11: talks and he would appear. He came back to Columbus frequently.
- 1:36:35Speaker 11: For example. He really was one of the favorites in
- 1:36:37Speaker 11: Columbus for speaking engagements and of course activities with the
- 1:36:41Speaker 11: Ohio State Athletics program. That one of the very first scholarships,
- 1:36:45Speaker 11: one of the very first athletics scholarships in nineteen fifty
- 1:36:47Speaker 11: was a Jesse Owens scholarship.
- 1:36:49Speaker 1: How about that? Well, you know what I am, I've
- 1:36:51Speaker 1: learned a whole lot today in just these few minutes.
- 1:36:53Speaker 1: In time, I'm going to learn a whole lot more tonight.
- 1:36:55Speaker 1: Empower you America dot org. You can log in from
- 1:36:57Speaker 1: home and enjoy this wonderful presentation by Mike Yes this morning,
- 1:37:00Speaker 1: John Kersey, or show up live. I presume you'll answer
- 1:37:04Speaker 1: a question or two from the audience if people have them.
- 1:37:06Speaker 1: But I'm glad you're doing this so Hian Jesse Owens
- 1:37:09Speaker 1: track and field phenomenon and symbol of resilience. That's tonight
- 1:37:12Speaker 1: seven pm. John, It's been a real pleasure talking with

- 1:37:27Speaker 1: My friend. Adam is the man responsible for, among other things,
- 1:37:32Speaker 1: a website. You need to check out the Cincinnati Exchange
- 1:37:35Speaker 1: dot com and look how quickly that was updated by
- 1:37:37Speaker 1: interview with John Kerzy about Jesse Owens has already posted there.
- 1:37:41Speaker 1: Thanks Adam Keler, and welcome back to the show, my friend.
- 1:37:44Speaker 12: Hey, yes, Glad, I'm glad to be able to stream
- 1:37:47Speaker 12: your show on on the website.
- 1:37:49Speaker 4: There's a you know, it's good.
- 1:37:51Speaker 12: Information on there, and you know we need we need
- 1:37:54Speaker 12: some news from you know, some conservative voices.
- 1:37:57Speaker 1: I appreciate that or little libertarian voices is the case.
- 1:38:00Speaker 1: He depends on the subject matter, Adam Kaylor. If you're
- 1:38:02Speaker 1: not familiar with Adam's background, he is brilliant. He is
- 1:38:05Speaker 1: a successful entrepreneur. He is a resident of the city
- 1:38:08Speaker 1: of Cincinnati, so he knows all about things going on
- 1:38:10Speaker 1: in downtown Cincinnati. Graduated from the School of Creative Informing Arts.
- 1:38:14Speaker 1: Then he went into the market marketing industry and quite
- 1:38:17Speaker 1: successfully founded a country company called dot Loop, which netted
- 1:38:21Speaker 1: him one hundred and eight million dollars because Zillo came
- 1:38:23Speaker 1: in and bought it from him. Then he also did
- 1:38:26Speaker 1: ventures like Reversed Out Creative, also cove work, supporting local
- 1:38:30Speaker 1: businesses and fostering a vibrant startup ecosystem. To next week,
- 1:38:34Speaker 1: he's going to be talking about specifically the website, the
- 1:38:37Speaker 1: Cincinnati Exchange and a different idea and concept. You've got
- 1:38:40Speaker 1: here to tell my listeners about not only just the
- 1:38:43Speaker 1: Cincinnati Exchange, but how my listeners and folks who attend
- 1:38:47Speaker 1: the Empower Youth Seminar can become citizen journalists.
- 1:38:50Speaker 3: Adam.
- 1:38:52Speaker 12: Yeah. So the idea is is that it's an exchange.
- 1:38:55Speaker 11: It's an exchange of ideas.
- 1:38:56Speaker 12: And I've got a lot of people like another friend
- 1:38:59Speaker 12: of the show, Todd, who writes on the paper every Yeah. Yeah,
- 1:39:04Speaker 12: our favorite brilliant dog.
- 1:39:07Speaker 1: That guy is awesome, man. You know you're talking about
- 1:39:10Speaker 1: you think about what you're going to do in retirement.
- 1:39:12Speaker 1: I mean he's crunching numbers and chasing after elusive documents
- 1:39:17Speaker 1: and council members and figuring out where the money is
- 1:39:19Speaker 1: going because apparently council doesn't want anybody to know about that.
- 1:39:21Speaker 1: Citizen Watchdog is his podcast and there it is upper
- 1:39:24Speaker 1: right hand corner on the Cincinnati Exchange dot com. So
- 1:39:27Speaker 1: I love that guy. I mean, he's a lot like
- 1:39:29Speaker 1: you in the sense that he dedicates a lot of time,
- 1:39:31Speaker 1: spare time with no pay to do really important work
- 1:39:35Speaker 1: at him.
- 1:39:37Speaker 12: I was just gonna say, I mean, as we overpay
- 1:39:39Speaker 12: some of our local officials for a lack of effort,
- 1:39:43Speaker 12: here he is putting in full effort during retirement for
- 1:39:47Speaker 12: no pay, just because he loves Cincinnati. Who is a
- 1:39:49Speaker 12: price el guy west side best side in my opinion,
- 1:39:52Speaker 12: And you know, he busts his butt and he's you know,
- 1:39:56Speaker 12: he just he just cares about the city. I mean, yeah,
- 1:39:59Speaker 12: which could come out retirement and be the mayor, but
- 1:40:02Speaker 12: he won't do oh the city the city manager?
- 1:40:04Speaker 1: That would do?
- 1:40:05Speaker 12: You imagine him as a city manager.
- 1:40:06Speaker 1: Brilliant it would be the city will be a well oiled,
- 1:40:10Speaker 1: efficient machine with a prioritization done properly and all the
- 1:40:14Speaker 1: dollars tracked and accounted for. And of course he would
- 1:40:17Speaker 1: also track results like we gave the nng O two
- 1:40:21Speaker 1: million dollars over the past two years. Have they done
- 1:40:23Speaker 1: anything with it? Have they accomplished anything?
- 1:40:28Speaker 11: Did you see in California? And you're love this with
- 1:40:31Speaker 11: your libertarian mindset. And by the way, our friend mele
- 1:40:34Speaker 11: and Argentina is looking like he's bringing some hope back
- 1:40:38Speaker 11: to the libertarian people. I know he's kicking butt down.
- 1:40:41Speaker 12: There isn't he. I know, I know this economy turned around.
- 1:40:45Speaker 1: Yes, there's some great things going on in the world at.
- 1:40:47Speaker 12: Him, No, there is, there is. But in California, did
- 1:40:50Speaker 12: you see that the homeless they give more money to
- 1:40:53Speaker 12: the homeless. Oh no, In New York they get more
- 1:40:55Speaker 12: money to the homeless than than than people actually make.
- 1:40:59Speaker 1: The actually makes eighty one thousand per homeless person. And
- 1:41:04Speaker 1: people think, well, well, no, that wouldn't be homeless if
- 1:41:05Speaker 1: you gave eighty one grant. No, that's all the NGOs
- 1:41:07Speaker 1: that are an industry supporting the home. They don't want
- 1:41:11Speaker 1: to solve the homeless problem. They want to keep drawing
- 1:41:13Speaker 1: fat paychecks with their alleged NGO work to help the homeless.
- 1:41:19Speaker 12: Well, these are the worst people. These are the people
- 1:41:20Speaker 12: that you know. They claim to be the most compassionate
- 1:41:22Speaker 12: and the most empathetic. Yet you know, their whole grift
- 1:41:26Speaker 12: is stealing from these poor people who are, you know,
- 1:41:29Speaker 12: in some of the lowest points of their lives.
- 1:41:31Speaker 1: Kind of like people they do might want to take
- 1:41:33Speaker 1: advantage of the Leering Center up in Minneapolis.
- 1:41:36Speaker 12: Oh yeah, the old leering Center. Yeah, you're you know,
- 1:41:39Speaker 12: I don't know why you're even doing radio anymore when
- 1:41:41Speaker 12: you can make all this money doing laying center.
- 1:41:43Speaker 1: Well, a lot of people figure that out, man, And
- 1:41:45Speaker 1: I think that's really the reality of a lot of
- 1:41:47Speaker 1: people on the social welfare safety net. Adam that wait
- 1:41:50Speaker 1: a second. If I take all that's out there and
- 1:41:52Speaker 1: available to me from the social welfare safety net, both
- 1:41:55Speaker 1: state and federal, I effectively would have to go out
- 1:41:57Speaker 1: into the world and make close to forty thousand dollars
- 1:42:00Speaker 1: a year. Huh. Maybe I'll just hook myself up to
- 1:42:04Speaker 1: the Biblical court of government and call it a day.
- 1:42:05Speaker 1: That's a scam in and of itself.
- 1:42:08Speaker 12: That's right, And it's really sad that that people have
- 1:42:11Speaker 12: such low self esteem that they'd rather trust Big Brother
- 1:42:15Speaker 12: with their lives than you know, their own their own
- 1:42:18Speaker 12: abilities that God gave them. And you know, that's one
- 1:42:20Speaker 12: of the things.
- 1:42:21Speaker 11: That we're trying to do with the papers.
- 1:42:22Speaker 12: Put good information out there, put economic information out there,
- 1:42:26Speaker 12: Put you know, what's happening in the world. I mean,
- 1:42:29Speaker 12: ais kind of take it over so many things. I mean,
- 1:42:31Speaker 12: we've got an automated newsroom kind of tool that we're
- 1:42:35Speaker 12: building now to help our journalists to speed up the
- 1:42:37Speaker 12: process of them putting in SEO items. You know, they
- 1:42:41Speaker 12: don't have to be technicians, they don't have to be
- 1:42:44Speaker 12: SEO experts all that stuff. You know, they write their
- 1:42:46Speaker 12: stories and it kind of does all the the the
- 1:42:50Speaker 12: extra work for them. And we're you know, we're building
- 1:42:52Speaker 12: all kinds of tools to automate things right now. And
- 1:42:54Speaker 12: in the world is automating. I mean you've got I mean,
- 1:42:57Speaker 12: look at the Washington Post a few weeks ago. I
- 1:43:00Speaker 12: mean they let what a third of their staff go,
- 1:43:02Speaker 12: and now all their people are up in arms and
- 1:43:04Speaker 12: can't figure out what to do with themselves. And I mean,
- 1:43:08Speaker 12: you know, there's everything's being disrupted right now. People need
- 1:43:10Speaker 12: to understand what's going on out here so you know
- 1:43:12Speaker 12: they can keep their jobs or start a business or
- 1:43:16Speaker 12: you know, move and adapt with the with technology. And
- 1:43:20Speaker 12: you know, I know, you you have some technology shows
- 1:43:22Speaker 12: on and some some experts on your show to keep
- 1:43:26Speaker 12: people up with what's what's happening out here in the world.
- 1:43:29Speaker 12: But I mean you have to adapt. I mean, things
- 1:43:32Speaker 12: are things are changing so fast nowadays, and there needs
- 1:43:35Speaker 12: to be people out here, you know, keeping their ear
- 1:43:38Speaker 12: to the ground and letting people know what's going on,
- 1:43:40Speaker 12: so you know, they can do just that. And that's
- 1:43:42Speaker 12: one of the things we want to do with the
- 1:43:44Speaker 12: paper and some of the experts we want to bring on.
- 1:43:46Speaker 12: And you know, when you go to our about section,
- 1:43:48Speaker 12: you can see some of the writers on there, and
- 1:43:50Speaker 12: we have some technology experts.
- 1:43:51Speaker 5: We got some.
- 1:43:52Speaker 12: Former politicians because a lot of this stuff also is
- 1:43:56Speaker 12: tied to politics. You know, what happens in the world,
- 1:43:58Speaker 12: and I mean, look at oil prices right now. You know,
- 1:44:01Speaker 12: now all of a sudden, we're in another war. Oil
- 1:44:04Speaker 12: prices go up to four dollars a gallon, if not
- 1:44:07Speaker 12: unless you're in California, and then it's what like six
- 1:44:08Speaker 12: seven dollars.
- 1:44:09Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
- 1:44:11Speaker 12: But you know, these kind of things start happening and
- 1:44:13Speaker 12: you don't know their comment and you get you kind
- 1:44:16Speaker 12: of get you know, you get surprised by it. So
- 1:44:19Speaker 12: you know, you need somebody who's who's out here telling
- 1:44:21Speaker 12: them the truth and uh and people in the community
- 1:44:24Speaker 12: that want to tell their story and their perspective, Guys
- 1:44:27Speaker 12: like Todd Christina.
- 1:44:29Speaker 11: Holbrook who writes for US.
- 1:44:30Speaker 12: I mean, these are the type of people in the
- 1:44:32Speaker 12: community that are, you know, going to city council meetings.
- 1:44:34Speaker 12: They're going and uh into their community council meetings and
- 1:44:38Speaker 12: they're trying to figure out what's going on. Corey Boweman
- 1:44:41Speaker 12: h you know for Run for Me works and over
- 1:44:45Speaker 12: the Rhine has has a business there, has a church there,
- 1:44:48Speaker 12: somebody who really has embedded himself into the community. I
- 1:44:51Speaker 12: would hear what Corey has to say. So so this
- 1:44:54Speaker 12: is an opportunity for people to to get out there
- 1:44:58Speaker 12: and to have their voice heard in a long format style.
- 1:45:03Speaker 1: Wonderful opportunity for folks that since in Exchange dot com

- 1:45:29Speaker 1: cough butt.
- 1:45:29Speaker 12: Oh, yeah, we're definitely gonna Yeah, we're definitely going to
- 1:45:32Speaker 12: be digging in. You know, Dan Reginald there to Power
- 1:45:35Speaker 12: You is nice enough to reach out and I remember
- 1:45:38Speaker 12: speaking there when I was running for I believe when
- 1:45:41Speaker 12: I ran for State rep US spoke there and really
- 1:45:44Speaker 12: good people, you know, with the goal of just educating
- 1:45:47Speaker 12: folks on what's going on out here on civics a
- 1:45:50Speaker 12: lot of times. And they have a nice connection to
- 1:45:54Speaker 12: other groups, larger groups, national groups, and yeah, all their
- 1:45:58Speaker 12: videos are out there on their website that empower You
- 1:46:01Speaker 12: America dot com. And this is going to be a
- 1:46:04Speaker 12: really good partnership. And it's not just you know, empower You,
- 1:46:07Speaker 12: it's other groups too that we're working on relationships with.
- 1:46:10Speaker 12: We got some national newspapers that we're partnered up with
- 1:46:13Speaker 12: as well. We're going to conferences, we're spreading the word
- 1:46:15Speaker 12: and we want to take this thing. If it works
- 1:46:17Speaker 12: in Cincinnati, and we've got this this whole Cincinnati Exchange
- 1:46:20Speaker 12: happening here, why not do a Columbus Exchange. Why not
- 1:46:23Speaker 12: do a Cleveland Exchange. I spoke to some guys at Breitbart,
- 1:46:27Speaker 12: and they said, the reason there's no conservative papers in
- 1:46:32Speaker 12: these local markets is that there's these big media companies
- 1:46:36Speaker 12: out there that want to keep the narrative the way
- 1:46:38Speaker 12: it is in the city, and anytime a paper starts
- 1:46:40Speaker 12: emerging in one of the cities, they just come in
- 1:46:43Speaker 12: and buy it and change the narrative.
- 1:46:44Speaker 1: I understand that they but you know, maybe that's why
- 1:46:47Speaker 1: Adam nobody's subscribing to local papers anymore. You don't get
- 1:46:52Speaker 1: much by way of local content. How does any reporters
- 1:46:55Speaker 1: show up at council meetings anymore? You know, going back
- 1:46:58Speaker 1: to Todd's in or he spends more time looking behind
- 1:47:00Speaker 1: the veneer of whatever's going on downtown than anybody in
- 1:47:04Speaker 1: local news. It's kind of embarrassing. But that's not a
- 1:47:07Speaker 1: phenomenon limited city of Cincinnati. It's going on all over.
- 1:47:10Speaker 1: So maybe varied content would bring more people, because I know,
- 1:47:13Speaker 1: sites like the Cincinnati Exchange are very popular. Breitbart extraordinarily popular.
- 1:47:18Speaker 1: I mean, look at the popularity to Fox News in
- 1:47:20Speaker 1: the face of all the mainstream media outlets. While some
- 1:47:22Speaker 1: criticized Fox a little bit. Of course, it's conservative mindset
- 1:47:26Speaker 1: has given it a tremendous amount of success, So obviously
- 1:47:29Speaker 1: there is a huge demand atom for this kind of content.
- 1:47:33Speaker 5: Well, think about it.
- 1:47:34Speaker 12: I mean, you've got everything is run out of the cities.
- 1:47:37Speaker 12: Syracuse University did a study about five percent of journalists
- 1:47:42Speaker 12: consider themselves conservative. And you know, I'm chronically online and
- 1:47:47Speaker 12: I'm on x a lot, and the people who argue
- 1:47:48Speaker 12: with me the most, I feel like, are journalists and
- 1:47:52Speaker 12: from the city, from the various papers around the city,
- 1:47:55Speaker 12: and they're kind of radicalized. And when you live in
- 1:47:59Speaker 12: that kind of abubble, it obviously affects what you write,
- 1:48:03Speaker 12: and it affects the news you cover. And I don't
- 1:48:05Speaker 12: want our paper to get affected by an insular bubble,
- 1:48:10Speaker 12: because everyone who who works at our paper is thinks
- 1:48:14Speaker 12: one way right and wants the one up each other
- 1:48:17Speaker 12: in this like woke culture that we have, or even
- 1:48:20Speaker 12: the culture of the right. I mean, it can get
- 1:48:21Speaker 12: you can get woke right, yes, So so I mean,
- 1:48:25Speaker 12: if we have citizen journalists, we have people that are
- 1:48:27Speaker 12: out here in the world, guys like Todd who are
- 1:48:29Speaker 12: going to city council meetings, you know, you don't get
- 1:48:33Speaker 12: that bubble, right. They're out here in their own world.
- 1:48:36Speaker 12: They're in the real world doing things. And then when
- 1:48:39Speaker 12: they come back and they say, hey, I got an
- 1:48:40Speaker 12: idea for a story. I was out here in the
- 1:48:42Speaker 12: world doing this or that, and I noticed that this
- 1:48:45Speaker 12: is changing, or I noticed that here. You know, I've
- 1:48:48Speaker 12: got a problem with this. I was running over bunch
- 1:48:50Speaker 12: of potholes on and finally they fixed Sunset Avenue, Like, yeah,
- 1:48:55Speaker 12: that took how long?
- 1:49:00Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 1:49:00Speaker 12: But you want people out in the real world, people
- 1:49:03Speaker 12: like you, that's who you want to hear from. This
- 1:49:06Speaker 12: is what I got a problem with. This is what
- 1:49:07Speaker 12: I found out when I investigated it, and that's what
- 1:49:11Speaker 12: our paper's really about. And if we could get it
- 1:49:14Speaker 12: really going in Cincinnati, we could then take that model
- 1:49:17Speaker 12: and go to some of these other cities and put
- 1:49:20Speaker 12: it out there, and then those communities also have citizen
- 1:49:24Speaker 12: journalists and next thing, you know, the people in the excerpts,
- 1:49:28Speaker 12: like the people out in the suburbs, the people in
- 1:49:29Speaker 12: northern Kentucky, the people in Boone County, Butler County, they
- 1:49:32Speaker 12: don't want to be served by a radicalized left newspaper, right,
- 1:49:38Speaker 12: and they're subject to that right now.
- 1:49:40Speaker 1: I and I get that all day long. And the
- 1:49:42Speaker 1: great thing about what you're doing put an exclamation for
- 1:49:44Speaker 1: at least I think I am Adam Kaylor responsible for
- 1:49:46Speaker 1: the Citizen, the Cincinnati Exchange dot Com is you have
- 1:49:49Speaker 1: made You've provided a wonderful, readily accessible, and popular vehicle
- 1:49:55Speaker 1: for people who have opinions and comments and want to
- 1:49:58Speaker 1: go someplace other than just Facebook. They want to get
- 1:50:01Speaker 1: it out there. You know, I'm not friends with I
- 1:50:03Speaker 1: never read that. You know, you can get it out there,
- 1:50:04Speaker 1: get your content out there, but you don't have to
- 1:50:06Speaker 1: create the foundation for it. The vehicle is there. Items
- 1:50:10Speaker 1: made it really easy to contribute content. And I know
- 1:50:13Speaker 1: you've got this initiative called content credits, which is an
- 1:50:16Speaker 1: innovative sort of payment platform that I don't understand. But
- 1:50:19Speaker 1: you're going to be addressing that next week as well.
- 1:50:23Speaker 12: That's right. So if you if you're sick of paying
- 1:50:25Speaker 12: for subscriptions and you don't want to, you know, pay
- 1:50:28Speaker 12: thirty dollars for the Wall Street Journal of the New
- 1:50:30Speaker 12: York Times and all of a sudden thing. The concept
- 1:50:33Speaker 12: is is that when you hit that paywall, instead of
- 1:50:36Speaker 12: just leaving, you pay a quarter to read just that page.
- 1:50:40Speaker 12: So we essentially sell bundles of credits. For ten dollars,
- 1:50:44Speaker 12: you get forty credits. And any partner site, especially in
- 1:50:48Speaker 12: our own network, that is paywalled. If there is a
- 1:50:51Speaker 12: paywall on a page, instead you just leaving and not
- 1:50:54Speaker 12: buying a subscription. With ninety nine point three percent of
- 1:50:57Speaker 12: people leave those pop ups right happen you click the button,
- 1:51:02Speaker 12: you get past the paywall.
- 1:51:03Speaker 1: How about that? Well, that's technology at work for you.
- 1:51:06Speaker 1: And Adam Keller knows all about that. He's made a
- 1:51:08Speaker 1: nice living being a guy who is familiar with tex
- 1:51:11Speaker 1: So the cincinnat Exchange dot com generally speaking, bookmarket dedicates
- 1:51:16Speaker 1: some content and of course we got to give credit
- 1:51:18Speaker 1: to the most important element of the CINCINNTI Exchange, Adam is.
- 1:51:21Speaker 1: Joe Strecker is your I guess designated producer of podcasts.
- 1:51:26Speaker 1: I see his name all over the places on the podcast.
- 1:51:30Speaker 12: That's right, If Joe Strucker produces it, I know it's
- 1:51:33Speaker 12: quality work. Hey put it on the website.
- 1:51:35Speaker 1: That's real bad to the buck right there.
- 1:51:38Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, look, he works, he works at fifty
- 1:51:41Speaker 12: five krs. He's doing a great job there. He's been
- 1:51:43Speaker 12: doing it for years.
- 1:51:44Speaker 8: The guy.
- 1:51:44Speaker 12: The guy's a fixture in the office there, so I
- 1:51:47Speaker 12: mean he's he knows his way around the studio and
- 1:51:49Speaker 12: knows his way around audio. So yeah, anything Joe does,
- 1:51:53Speaker 12: I'm proud to get behind it. And anybody he works with,
- 1:51:58Speaker 12: I know they're a patriot and they want the best
- 1:52:00Speaker 12: for this country, and they want best for the city
- 1:52:02Speaker 12: of Cincinnati, and and I'm happy to put their infro
- 1:52:04Speaker 12: up there. So but yeah, we're actually going to be
- 1:52:07Speaker 12: moving the because we have so many podcasts and because
- 1:52:11Speaker 12: Joe does does so much work with all the all
- 1:52:15Speaker 12: this talent around the city, We're actually going to create
- 1:52:17Speaker 12: our own special podcast page to start featuring these things,
- 1:52:22Speaker 12: because now the homepage is starting to get a little
- 1:52:23Speaker 12: busy with all these podcasts. Yeah, we're actually going to
- 1:52:26Speaker 12: create a dedicated media page that.
- 1:52:29Speaker 1: Is for all these great thing your success. You've outgrown
- 1:52:35Speaker 1: your space. Adam kel Or, the man behind the Cincinnati

- 1:53:11Speaker 1: Adam Cale, keep up the great work. They'll be there.
- 1:53:14Speaker 1: It's eight twenty two right now. Don't go away. I
- 1:53:15Speaker 1: heart Mediavation Extpert Jay Rattleft waiting in the wings, and
- 1:53:18Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to the topics he's going to go over.
- 1:53:20Speaker 1: I'll be right back. iHeartMedia Aviation Expert. We are lucky
- 1:53:24Speaker 1: to get him for a few segments on a Friday Eve.
- 1:53:26Speaker 1: Welcome back. I heart Mediaviation Expert, Jay Rattleft, my friend.
- 1:53:29Speaker 1: Good to hear from you.
- 1:53:30Speaker 8: As always, plus a good morning to you.
- 1:53:32Speaker 1: I know we do hub delays last and I know
- 1:53:35Speaker 1: the TSA shut down or the government shutdown of the
- 1:53:37Speaker 1: TAS and the impact on TSA isn't on the list,
- 1:53:40Speaker 1: But I just really have to quickly ask you. We've
- 1:53:42Speaker 1: been reading about delays because of the TSA agents not
- 1:53:45Speaker 1: showing up for work, and I guess when you make
- 1:53:47Speaker 1: an average of forty five grand a year and your
- 1:53:49Speaker 1: paycheck's been deprived, you may not be able to make
- 1:53:51Speaker 1: ends meet at home, so you go off and you
- 1:53:53Speaker 1: find an extra job. That's happening right now. We've had
- 1:53:56Speaker 1: three hundred or so TSA agents quit already because of this.
- 1:53:59Speaker 1: But the three to four hour delays that it's causing,
- 1:54:02Speaker 1: and then the warning that some small airports or some
- 1:54:05Speaker 1: of the airports might be shut down over this. I
- 1:54:07Speaker 1: was thinking of you talking about the ripple effect of
- 1:54:09Speaker 1: like a flight being shut down or an airport being
- 1:54:13Speaker 1: delayed because of weather and the profound effect that has
- 1:54:15Speaker 1: in terms of impacting other flights. What's your take on this?
- 1:54:18Speaker 1: And I hope that people who are experiencing the TSA
- 1:54:21Speaker 1: problems know that it is Chucky Schumer and his crew
- 1:54:24Speaker 1: that have caused this. But your reaction to what's going on,
- 1:54:28Speaker 1: and do you think do you see an end insight
- 1:54:29Speaker 1: what's going on?
- 1:54:31Speaker 7: Well?
- 1:54:31Speaker 8: I see an urgency in DC to fix this. And
- 1:54:34Speaker 8: I think that's one of the real issues with a
- 1:54:36Speaker 8: lot of the TSA employees. It's as though they're forgotten. Yeah,
- 1:54:39Speaker 8: it's as though they're out there along with the Department
- 1:54:42Speaker 8: of Homeland Security a do your job, but we're going
- 1:54:45Speaker 8: to pay you later. You can file for unemployment, but
- 1:54:49Speaker 8: you pay it back. There's just so many things here
- 1:54:51Speaker 8: that just aren't you know, from the standpoint of taking
- 1:54:56Speaker 8: care of the individuals as you should. It really bothers me.
- 1:55:00Speaker 8: And when I see a lot of these individuals that
- 1:55:02Speaker 8: are ye out faced with they missed their first paycheck
- 1:55:05Speaker 8: on the fourth of March. I believe the second miss
- 1:55:08Speaker 8: paycheck would have been maybe yesterday if it's every other week.
- 1:55:10Speaker 8: But Brian, I mean, how long can anybody go without
- 1:55:13Speaker 8: a paycheck to just work for free indefinitely. And the
- 1:55:17Speaker 8: idea that these men and women are saying, Look, I've
- 1:55:19Speaker 8: got to feed my family, I've got to put food on
- 1:55:21Speaker 8: the table, I've got to do what I can do.
- 1:55:23Speaker 8: I'm going to go get it, get something that will.
- 1:55:25Speaker 3: Bring in money.
- 1:55:26Speaker 8: Now, I totally get that, and you know, you don't
- 1:55:29Speaker 8: want to let the people down that you're working with.
- 1:55:30Speaker 8: But the bottom line is our families come first. You're
- 1:55:33Speaker 8: going to do what you have to now. Air traffic
- 1:55:34Speaker 8: controllers had to face this exact same situation in the
- 1:55:38Speaker 8: previous government shut down, but Brian, you had a much
- 1:55:43Speaker 8: smaller number. You have. You have fifty thousand TSA employees
- 1:55:46Speaker 8: that are directly responsible day to day with screening. So
- 1:55:50Speaker 8: we've got that scattered across you know, several hundred airports.
- 1:55:53Speaker 8: The benches can be a little deeper. But when you
- 1:55:56Speaker 8: have air traffic controllers who already short as it is
- 1:55:59Speaker 8: from a staffing stone sandpoint, even add to that with
- 1:56:02Speaker 8: individuals not being there to work. That's one of the
- 1:56:04Speaker 8: reasons that the FAA had many airlines reduced their flight
- 1:56:07Speaker 8: activity by as much as ten percent and several markets
- 1:56:10Speaker 8: in the Northeast to try to help absorb that issue.
- 1:56:13Speaker 8: Now we're to point now where people are being told
- 1:56:15Speaker 8: to show up at airports three and four hours before departure.
- 1:56:19Speaker 8: It is just it's just nuts at a time when
- 1:56:23Speaker 8: we're seeing an increasing number of people flying because of
- 1:56:25Speaker 8: spring break. That's why you saw a lot of the
- 1:56:27Speaker 8: airlines CEOs reaching out to people in Washington saying this
- 1:56:30Speaker 8: has to stop now, stop using these people as a
- 1:56:33Speaker 8: political football. Let's get this deal done. And you know,
- 1:56:37Speaker 8: you've got a lot of airlines that are struggling. Look
- 1:56:40Speaker 8: at Spirit. Spirit Airlines has filed bankruptcy twice in the
- 1:56:42Speaker 8: last year year and a half. They're skimming down that
- 1:56:46Speaker 8: I think they have eighty planes left from the fleet
- 1:56:48Speaker 8: that they used to have to try to keep things going.
- 1:56:51Speaker 8: Fuel prices are going through the roof and now you've
- 1:56:54Speaker 8: got the TSEESU we can eat even harder for people
- 1:56:56Speaker 8: to get to the planes to travel. So it's a mess.
- 1:57:00Speaker 8: And sadly, on the day that we hit thirty nine
- 1:57:03Speaker 8: trillion dollars in death, another indication of just people in
- 1:57:08Speaker 8: DC that have absolutely no regard for, you know, taking
- 1:57:12Speaker 8: care of people. It's like, what headline can I use
- 1:57:14Speaker 8: today to score my political points and forget about the
- 1:57:18Speaker 8: people I'm supposed to be here to represent. It bothers
- 1:57:21Speaker 8: me on both sides of the aisle, and Brian, it
- 1:57:23Speaker 8: does you too, And I'm just glad that you keep
- 1:57:25Speaker 8: everything straight because in this day and age of people
- 1:57:28Speaker 8: just skimming headlines, it's tough to lose some of the
- 1:57:31Speaker 8: real facts that are going on behind the scenes.
- 1:57:33Speaker 1: Well, and God forbid you know it was. My recollection
- 1:57:36Speaker 1: is correct. TSA was created in the aftermath of nine
- 1:57:38Speaker 1: to eleven, so we wouldn't have bombers on airplanes. Gee,
- 1:57:41Speaker 1: last time I checked, we're at war currently with one
- 1:57:43Speaker 1: of the biggest global sponsors of Islamic fundamentals terrorism. We've
- 1:57:47Speaker 1: had some problems with those kind of things before. Oh,
- 1:57:49Speaker 1: that's right, like nine to eleven. So yeah, I wonder
- 1:57:53Speaker 1: how Chucky Schumer's going to react if God forbids something
- 1:57:56Speaker 1: like that happens, because for one of TSA agents. We'll
- 1:57:59Speaker 1: leave it at that. Jay Ratliff, bring it back and
- 1:58:01Speaker 1: talk about well leg room, I guess Frontier Airlines kicking
- 1:58:06Speaker 1: passengers off Southware Airlines ditching Chicago. We got a whole
- 1:58:10Speaker 1: lot of topics with Jay, so don't go away, be
- 1:58:12Speaker 1: right back fifty about kirc detalk station. Jay raydler Vassi's
- 1:58:18Speaker 1: the iHeart Media aviation expert, and he's going to answer
- 1:58:21Speaker 1: the question which airlines offers the most room to recline.
- 1:58:23Speaker 1: I got a lot of people having problems with people
- 1:58:25Speaker 1: reclining their seat on an airplane. It's your prerogative to
- 1:58:28Speaker 1: lean the seat back, and it doesn't lean back that far,
- 1:58:30Speaker 1: but quite often fistfights are erupted and things like that
- 1:58:33Speaker 1: when people recline in their seat. But who's got the
- 1:58:35Speaker 1: best reclining seat day?
- 1:58:37Speaker 8: That would be cutter. We got to go to the
- 1:58:40Speaker 8: Middle East. They've give us seven inches of reclining space,
- 1:58:44Speaker 8: which is nice. And you're right. There's a lot of
- 1:58:46Speaker 8: airlines such as Allegiance, Frontier Spirit that have seats do
- 1:58:51Speaker 8: not recline. They are what they call pre reclined in
- 1:58:54Speaker 8: some instances where the seats are reclined just a bit,
- 1:58:57Speaker 8: and the airlines sell it to us. This as a
- 1:59:01Speaker 8: matter of you know, customer service. We want everybody to
- 1:59:03Speaker 8: make sure they have their own space, their own room.
- 1:59:05Speaker 8: Nobody's encroaching. So we don't have seats that recline, they're
- 1:59:08Speaker 8: pre reclined, and we do this to provide better service. No,
- 1:59:12Speaker 8: they don't. They do it because when you have that,
- 1:59:15Speaker 8: you can actually put an extra row sometimes two in
- 1:59:17Speaker 8: the back of the aircraft, so you now have six
- 1:59:19Speaker 8: to maybe twelve extra revenue seats because you don't have
- 1:59:23Speaker 8: these seats that recline anymore. So they do it from
- 1:59:25Speaker 8: a revenue standpoint. They do not do it for anything
- 1:59:29Speaker 8: that is even closely related to a customer service. But
- 1:59:33Speaker 8: you go to the top five airlines that have the
- 1:59:35Speaker 8: most of reclining space, they're all international carriers. Nothing here
- 1:59:40Speaker 8: in the United States, nothing even close. And that's in coach,
- 1:59:43Speaker 8: and which is you know, seven inches to recline and
- 1:59:46Speaker 8: coach is not too bad, No, it's not.
- 1:59:49Speaker 1: It's above average for what I heard. Anyway, Frontier airlines
- 1:59:52Speaker 1: have it a bit of a problem. A whoops moment
- 1:59:53Speaker 1: over at Frontier.
- 1:59:55Speaker 8: This is a who you do you want to believe?
- 1:59:58Speaker 8: We had a situation where we had a viral video
- 2:00:01Speaker 8: that took off went everywhere showing a flight attendant for
- 2:00:04Speaker 8: Frontier kicking off a passenger for, according to the passenger,
- 2:00:09Speaker 8: not paying full attention to the flight attendant and as
- 2:00:12Speaker 8: a result, she said, look, I'm deaf, I have a disability,
- 2:00:16Speaker 8: and but you know, and so they escort off the plane.
- 2:00:21Speaker 8: Now Frontier, who's normally not known for being totally transparent
- 2:00:25Speaker 8: on everything, Brian, they came out with both barrels and
- 2:00:28Speaker 8: said time out here, time out, time out. That's not
- 2:00:31Speaker 8: what happened. This woman boards their airplane with an out
- 2:00:35Speaker 8: with a drink in her hand. Now you cannot bring
- 2:00:37Speaker 8: alcohol on board and aircraft. You can't consume it on
- 2:00:40Speaker 8: board and aircraft because it's it is a federal offence.
- 2:00:43Speaker 8: You have to serve what's served, and you can't bring
- 2:00:46Speaker 8: your own. And the cup she had even had a
- 2:00:49Speaker 8: sticker on it said do not bring it on an
- 2:00:50Speaker 8: airplane federal fence. Well, she brings it on anyways, and
- 2:00:54Speaker 8: the flight attendant's mentioned it to her, She drowns the drink,
- 2:00:56Speaker 8: gives it to him, has some words back and forth. Well,
- 2:00:58Speaker 8: then the captain's notify in Frontier as a policy that says,
- 2:01:01Speaker 8: if you break that rule, you're kicked off the plane.
- 2:01:05Speaker 8: And that's exactly what they did. They followed that rule. Now,
- 2:01:08Speaker 8: Frontier also added, look, when this woman was in the gate,
- 2:01:12Speaker 8: there was nothing in her record that indicated any sort
- 2:01:15Speaker 8: of a hearing disability, and our agents had no trouble
- 2:01:19Speaker 8: whatsoever in communicating with this person, kind of leading us
- 2:01:23Speaker 8: to think maybe it's not a hearing impairment or what.
- 2:01:27Speaker 8: We don't know, But it comes down to who you
- 2:01:29Speaker 8: want to believe, Frontier or the passenger. If you just
- 2:01:32Speaker 8: look at the little video, it looks like Frontier is
- 2:01:34Speaker 8: heartless when you see everything that happened from the galley
- 2:01:37Speaker 8: back to the time she sat down, it's a little
- 2:01:39Speaker 8: bit more clear what was taking place.
- 2:01:41Speaker 1: Well fair enough, you know it's funny you mentioned alcohol
- 2:01:43Speaker 1: and you can't bring your own alcohol on an airplane.
- 2:01:47Speaker 1: I guess you're allowed to bring bottles of water though,
- 2:01:49Speaker 1: right you can't.
- 2:01:51Speaker 8: Well, you can buy water. You can even buy the
- 2:01:54Speaker 8: mine in the duty free shops and bring them on
- 2:01:57Speaker 8: the plane. You just can't consume anything unless it's been
- 2:02:00Speaker 8: given to you by by a alcohol wise, by a
- 2:02:03Speaker 8: flight attendant.
- 2:02:04Speaker 1: How do they police that? I mean, I just gotta
- 2:02:06Speaker 1: be honest with the Urban lobbying was a class I
- 2:02:08Speaker 1: took at UC. We used to stop over to Tentlemen
- 2:02:11Speaker 1: or Gentleman Square, the Student Union Square, and buy beers
- 2:02:16Speaker 1: and put them in what we used to jokingly refer
- 2:02:17Speaker 1: to as opaque cups. And you can enjoy a beer
- 2:02:20Speaker 1: in urban lobbying because no one knew what was in
- 2:02:22Speaker 1: the container. You can still do that in an airplane,
- 2:02:24Speaker 1: but if you get caught, I guess the concern I
- 2:02:26Speaker 1: would have is what the penalty is and is it
- 2:02:29Speaker 1: pretty significant? Day?
- 2:02:31Speaker 8: It's it can be. I mean, you hear this. You
- 2:02:34Speaker 8: could be banned from the airline. The FAA could find you,
- 2:02:37Speaker 8: you could go to j oh blah blah. It's the
- 2:02:38Speaker 8: federal The bottom line is, most of the time, if
- 2:02:42Speaker 8: you're sipping on something, most flight tenils could care less.
- 2:02:45Speaker 8: You're acting up, it's going to become an issue. Now,
- 2:02:47Speaker 8: I'm not telling you to break any federal rules. Don't
- 2:02:50Speaker 8: don't go there, But I'm saying what tends to happen
- 2:02:53Speaker 8: on board and aircraft, and and that's typically what takes place.
- 2:02:56Speaker 8: And you know, these flight attends have so much on
- 2:02:58Speaker 8: their plates already. Yeah, it is and to have to
- 2:03:01Speaker 8: worry about that. But look, when somebody is acting up
- 2:03:03Speaker 8: and especially calling attention to themselves, you're forcing them into
- 2:03:07Speaker 8: a position. It's a lot like the idiot that jokes
- 2:03:10Speaker 8: that they have a bomb in their bag. You have
- 2:03:12Speaker 8: forced them into a position that there's only one way
- 2:03:15Speaker 8: to go. There's no gray area, there's no well we'll
- 2:03:19Speaker 8: slide this time.
- 2:03:20Speaker 4: No, no, no.
- 2:03:20Speaker 8: We've got a very set set of protocol that we follow.
- 2:03:24Speaker 8: In these steps mandate us taking you off the plane
- 2:03:27Speaker 8: with everybody you're flying with. So you know, you just
- 2:03:31Speaker 8: don't please don't break any federal rules.
- 2:03:33Speaker 1: Ye don't be that guy. You may be able to
- 2:03:35Speaker 1: get away with it as long as you're not being
- 2:03:37Speaker 1: that guy. So fair enough, all right. Yeah, moving over
- 2:03:40Speaker 1: to Southwest. Southwest Airlines decision to drop Chicago airport service.
- 2:03:46Speaker 8: Yeah it was minimal, as you know, from Chicago Midway everything,
- 2:03:51Speaker 8: so that's the main operation. But Southwest said, look, we
- 2:03:55Speaker 8: can save money if we consolidate our operation not only
- 2:03:57Speaker 8: in Chicago but in Washington, DC. Pull out of Washington Dulles.
- 2:04:01Speaker 8: We're going to pull out of Chicago O'Hare and we're
- 2:04:03Speaker 8: going to just fold those flight activities into what we
- 2:04:06Speaker 8: have at our other Washington airport as well as the
- 2:04:09Speaker 8: other Chicago airport in Midway. So they're saying it's a
- 2:04:12Speaker 8: better way to streamline their service, and people that frequent
- 2:04:16Speaker 8: them out of O'Hair just drive over to Midway. It
- 2:04:19Speaker 8: is not the most convenient, but you can do it,
- 2:04:22Speaker 8: and it allows Southwest to be a stronger financial airline,
- 2:04:25Speaker 8: and that's what they're after. That's why all of these
- 2:04:27Speaker 8: steps are being made, and even though passengers may not
- 2:04:30Speaker 8: totally agree with it, they're setting things where Southwest is
- 2:04:34Speaker 8: going to become a much stronger and much more profitable
- 2:04:37Speaker 8: airline if they keep doing what they're supposed to be doing.
- 2:04:39Speaker 8: A lot of people haven't seen it yet. A lot
- 2:04:41Speaker 8: of people still are complaining about what's going on. But
- 2:04:45Speaker 8: Southwest knows if you make these course corrections now down
- 2:04:48Speaker 8: the road, it's going to pay off in a big way.
- 2:04:50Speaker 8: And I suspect that we're going to see just that.
- 2:04:52Speaker 1: From them fair enough. You know, I've been in and
- 2:04:55Speaker 1: out of Midweb, in and out of Chicago O'Hare, and honestly,
- 2:04:58Speaker 1: it's a lot easier to navigate airport than it is O'Hare.
- 2:05:01Speaker 1: That place is a zoo.
- 2:05:03Speaker 8: Well, let's say you've got two main hubs, you got
- 2:05:05Speaker 8: American in United to continue to get bigger at that location,
- 2:05:09Speaker 8: and when you're thrown all the construction issues and the
- 2:05:11Speaker 8: things that are going at that mega airport, it's a nightmare.
- 2:05:15Speaker 8: And for passengers trying to get to the airport and
- 2:05:18Speaker 8: then trying to get out in time. Look, you and
- 2:05:21Speaker 8: I've been on planes where you know, you pull out
- 2:05:23Speaker 8: of the gate and you're number fifty four per take
- 2:05:25Speaker 8: and it's like just you know, just take it easy
- 2:05:28Speaker 8: for an hour and a half because you're not going anywhere.
- 2:05:30Speaker 8: And typically that's when I'm flying back to Daton or Cincinnati,
- 2:05:32Speaker 8: I could drive it in the time I get have
- 2:05:35Speaker 8: flown it with those delays. But yeah, Chicago hair is
- 2:05:39Speaker 8: a place I always say, we're on time. Flights go
- 2:05:41Speaker 8: to die. It's just a huge, huge mess of an
- 2:05:43Speaker 8: airport that look when the weather's good that they operate
- 2:05:47Speaker 8: those flights in and out there, you know. But it's just,
- 2:05:51Speaker 8: you know, one of those situations where Southwest made a
- 2:05:53Speaker 8: business decision, and I'm glad they did because that's going
- 2:05:56Speaker 8: to make Southwest a stronger carrier.
- 2:05:58Speaker 5: All right.
- 2:05:58Speaker 1: Coming up, Spirit Airlines slashing their fleet, boeings involved in
- 2:06:02Speaker 1: litigation and well rising fuel costs.
- 2:06:04Speaker 3: You expect station.
- 2:06:07Speaker 1: Hey forty nine if you have on KRCD talk station
- 2:06:09Speaker 1: always enjoyed these conversations. I heard mediaviation expert Jay Ratliffe
- 2:06:13Speaker 1: hiving over to Spirit Airlines. They slashed their feet. The
- 2:06:17Speaker 1: entire airline only has eighty planes.
- 2:06:19Speaker 8: Down from the first time they went into bankruptcy they
- 2:06:22Speaker 8: had two hundred and I think thirty or forty, wow,
- 2:06:25Speaker 8: and they have been shedding them off. They're sticking with
- 2:06:29Speaker 8: only the most profitable routes, even some routes that they've
- 2:06:32Speaker 8: had in the past that have been profitable. They found
- 2:06:34Speaker 8: that they can go places and be more profitable, and
- 2:06:37Speaker 8: that's what they're planning on doing. They're adding premium seats
- 2:06:40Speaker 8: and again sticking to the markets that give them the
- 2:06:42Speaker 8: highest yield or profit per passenger. And what that's doing
- 2:06:46Speaker 8: Brian is giving him a fighting chance here to survive. Now.
- 2:06:48Speaker 8: Of course, with the rising fuel costs, that's creating some
- 2:06:52Speaker 8: issues for them, but the demand for travel seems to
- 2:06:55Speaker 8: be hanging in there, and hopefully for them that's going
- 2:06:58Speaker 8: to be the case. I still think that's probably going
- 2:07:00Speaker 8: to have to be merged, acquired, do something with some
- 2:07:05Speaker 8: of the carrier to have any long term success here.
- 2:07:07Speaker 8: But I'm not a big fan of mergers, but I
- 2:07:10Speaker 8: love every low cost carrier and I want them to
- 2:07:12Speaker 8: all stick around because they give us the competition we need.
- 2:07:15Speaker 8: It help us to drive down airpairs around the country.
- 2:07:17Speaker 1: Amen and litigation usually drives the cost of anything up
- 2:07:21Speaker 1: because it's expensive. I guess Boeing's under pressure from a
- 2:07:24Speaker 1: lawsuit by investors. Is this a shareholder derivative suit.
- 2:07:29Speaker 8: It's a lawsuit that goes back to the time period
- 2:07:32Speaker 8: of twenty and eighteen and nineteen. It's a judge in
- 2:07:37Speaker 8: Chicago said that shareholders who own that Boeing stock between
- 2:07:40Speaker 8: I think it was November seventh, twenty eighteen in October
- 2:07:43Speaker 8: eighteenth can sue as a group. They've got a collective
- 2:07:47Speaker 8: lawsuit here in this class action suit is against Boeing
- 2:07:51Speaker 8: saying that they were holding or withholding critical information from
- 2:07:56Speaker 8: shareholders and of course airlines and pilots and other things.
- 2:08:00Speaker 8: And yeah, this lawsuit's going to move forward. And Boeing
- 2:08:02Speaker 8: has admitted on multiple occasions that's exactly what they did.
- 2:08:06Speaker 8: And in one time they they did admit in criminal court, uh,
- 2:08:11Speaker 8: the wrongdoing. But after Trump became president, they went back
- 2:08:15Speaker 8: to the DJ asked if they could withdraw that admission,
- 2:08:20Speaker 8: and they were apparently allowed to do so, which again
- 2:08:23Speaker 8: just just just uh, you know what it does to me, Brian,
- 2:08:26Speaker 8: give me my give me my blood pressure medication. Because
- 2:08:29Speaker 8: the idea that people can get away with this blatantly,
- 2:08:32Speaker 8: like nobody's gonna notice, come on, we'll just we'll just
- 2:08:36Speaker 8: do this.
- 2:08:36Speaker 1: It's like it I'll obstruct the jury to disregard that comment, Like, yeah,
- 2:08:40Speaker 1: go ahead and try to unring that bell. No, I
- 2:08:43Speaker 1: committed it to memory. Now, So is this swirling around
- 2:08:48Speaker 1: that failed software update that they didn't bother telling the
- 2:08:51Speaker 1: pilots about.
- 2:08:52Speaker 8: Jay, Yeah, it's over the MCAST system where they had
- 2:08:55Speaker 8: that uh, something that was on the airplane that they
- 2:08:58Speaker 8: knew that there were issues to that they were planning
- 2:09:01Speaker 8: on fixing on a later update that was going to happen,
- 2:09:05Speaker 8: and as a result, they were going to in essence,
- 2:09:08Speaker 8: just let it stay as it was, and when airlines
- 2:09:12Speaker 8: and different pilots and individuals would ask about it, there
- 2:09:16Speaker 8: was very little transparency. In fact, a lot of the pilots,
- 2:09:19Speaker 8: I know for American Airlines, it was on tape, Otherwise
- 2:09:22Speaker 8: I wouldn't have believed what I was hearing was asking
- 2:09:24Speaker 8: some of the engineers at Boeing why they weren't telling
- 2:09:29Speaker 8: us about the MCAST system that could violently rip the
- 2:09:31Speaker 8: controls out of our plane, out of our hands when
- 2:09:33Speaker 8: we're trying to fly the plane. And they said, we
- 2:09:35Speaker 8: don't want to overload you with a lot of needless information.
- 2:09:39Speaker 8: That was their exact word. And you know, pilots, when
- 2:09:42Speaker 8: it comes to controlling my aircraft, don't tell me something
- 2:09:45Speaker 8: isn't needed when it you know, because this is something
- 2:09:48Speaker 8: that in essence, it rips the controls out, it sends
- 2:09:50Speaker 8: a plane into a dive for ten seconds, It gives
- 2:09:53Speaker 8: the pilots back their control for five seconds, and then
- 2:09:58Speaker 8: does another ten second dive. So when that system malfunctions
- 2:10:02Speaker 8: and it's saying that there's a stall and that aircraft
- 2:10:04Speaker 8: needs to drop the nose and build up speed to
- 2:10:08Speaker 8: get out of the stall. When that malfunctions, it's a
- 2:10:11Speaker 8: thing where the pilots have control for five seconds, the
- 2:10:14Speaker 8: aircraft has control for ten and it goes back five.
- 2:10:17Speaker 8: And you understand how quickly you can run out of
- 2:10:19Speaker 8: altitude when the plane has control ten seconds down and
- 2:10:23Speaker 8: you can only have control for five seconds up. And
- 2:10:26Speaker 8: that's what led to those two horrific crashes, as those
- 2:10:30Speaker 8: pilots were trying valiantly to try to save the passengers
- 2:10:34Speaker 8: on board their airplane and technology was fighting them. Technology
- 2:10:38Speaker 8: they weren't even aware that was.
- 2:10:40Speaker 1: On the plane. To this day, every time we talk
- 2:10:43Speaker 1: about this story, I still cannot believe that that was
- 2:10:45Speaker 1: the attitude at a boich Lord Almighty.
- 2:10:48Speaker 8: Yes, yeah, Brian, and I'm sorry. We were the last
- 2:10:52Speaker 8: planet country on the planet to ground the airplane. We
- 2:10:55Speaker 8: had a lot of these very well known aviation analysts
- 2:10:59Speaker 8: that are out there that we're talking about how safe
- 2:11:02Speaker 8: the aircraft was and how they would get on it
- 2:11:05Speaker 8: and not to worry, blah blah blah. And they blamed
- 2:11:07Speaker 8: everything that they could. And I was the only one
- 2:11:10Speaker 8: in the country. I was screaming on Fox and all
- 2:11:13Speaker 8: the other stations. I was on for us to please
- 2:11:15Speaker 8: ground that airplane until we knew what was going on.
- 2:11:18Speaker 8: And it wasn't until not the airlines, not the FAA,
- 2:11:21Speaker 8: but President Trump who finally said, let's ground this airplane
- 2:11:24Speaker 8: until we see what's going on. Thank god, he did.
- 2:11:26Speaker 1: It fair enough. Real quick Hub delays has a look
- 2:11:29Speaker 1: other than tsa three to four hour potential lays. Jay
- 2:11:32Speaker 1: rhightlife has a looking otherwise like was.
- 2:11:34Speaker 8: Island and get on a long line for a ride,
- 2:11:36Speaker 8: same thing as the airport. So yeah, and you get
- 2:11:39Speaker 8: to do it indoors, which is nice. Bright. I can't
- 2:11:41Speaker 8: find a delay to save my life.
- 2:11:43Speaker 3: This morning.
- 2:11:44Speaker 8: Oh, that's the best day of the week to fly.
- 2:11:46Speaker 8: It's a beautiful day. It's all the garbages out of
- 2:11:49Speaker 8: the way. The issues are going to be at the airport.
- 2:11:51Speaker 8: Just get there soon enough, get through the scared checkpoint,
- 2:11:54Speaker 8: as soon as you can and get to the gate
- 2:11:56Speaker 8: of departure long before you're supposed to be, just to
- 2:11:58Speaker 8: make sure you can make that trip.
