- 0:41Speaker 1: Excuse me, just direcord through me your curveball. I'm at
- 0:43Speaker 1: Good morning, Brian Thomas, her host the fifty five KRC
- 0:45Speaker 1: Morning Show. I love when Just Tracker throws curveballs at
- 0:48Speaker 1: me and makes me laugh. Just Tracker, executive producer, Internet
- 0:51Speaker 1: research Guru. All right, great guy, producer podcast too. If
- 0:54Speaker 1: you want to do a podcast called Joe Look. Most
- 0:56Speaker 1: important headline this morning, Yay a Doberman pincher won the
- 1:03Speaker 1: Westminster Kennel Dog Show Best in Show last night the
- 1:08Speaker 1: most coveted prize Penny the Doberman. Doberman's have won five times.
- 1:14Speaker 1: Penny came out after two days twenty five hundred dogs,
- 1:18Speaker 1: more than two hundred breeds all vying for the top
- 1:21Speaker 1: dog competition, and of course the doberman won.
- 1:23Speaker 4: Hi.
- 1:23Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday, Ryan Thomas here, looking forward to the show.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Lots to talk about this morning before we get to
- 1:28Speaker 1: the first guest, which is coming up at six thirty
- 1:30Speaker 1: FOP President Kenkove, representing the Sin Sint Police Department, Union.
- 1:34Speaker 1: He is going to comment on the one hundred thousand
- 1:36Speaker 1: dollars per child curfew centers. That's just the way the
- 1:39Speaker 1: math worked out. We talked about that the other day.
- 1:41Speaker 1: The city of Cincinnati shelled out just shy of four
- 1:44Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars and apparently no one is using the
- 1:49Speaker 1: curfew centers, which that money has been allocated for three
- 1:52Speaker 1: hundred and eighty thousand dollars to operate, and no one
- 1:55Speaker 1: using them. Basically, so I will hear what is it?
- 1:59Speaker 1: Because the police are not bothered. Here's my speculation. The
- 2:01Speaker 1: police are not bothering to pick up people who have
- 2:04Speaker 1: violated curfew. Who in the hell would do all the
- 2:07Speaker 1: paperwork related to something that requires picking up a person,
- 2:12Speaker 1: a young person in violation of the curfew, to take
- 2:14Speaker 1: them over to a curfew center, drop them off so
- 2:16Speaker 1: mom and dad, Mom or dad or a guardian can
- 2:18Speaker 1: come and pick them up. Do you think there's going
- 2:21Speaker 1: to be any prosecution for the curfew violation? I mean, realistically,
- 2:25Speaker 1: in the revolving door that we have with the Hamilton
- 2:26Speaker 1: County Justice Center, with the liberal judges. Who I mean,
- 2:30Speaker 1: if you commit murder in the Hamilton County, you're probably
- 2:33Speaker 1: going to get a slap on the wrist and at
- 2:34Speaker 1: least zero dollar bond. So yeah, anyway, that's my speculation.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Ken Cobert six point thirty to talk about it TGI Wednesday.
- 2:41Speaker 1: A Big Picture with Jack Adden coming up at seven
- 2:43Speaker 1: oh five, always brilliant and neither Joe's treker or I
- 2:46Speaker 1: have any idea about what his topic is which he
- 2:49Speaker 1: provided the future of Landman Jack dures to d up
- 2:55Speaker 1: at seven oh five, follow by Americans for Prosperity, Donovan
- 2:58Speaker 1: and Eel. We've got a new campaign, One Small Step campaign.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Donald's gonna let us know about it, playing off Neil
- 3:03Speaker 1: Armstrong's you know, one small small step for a man,
- 3:06Speaker 1: one giant leap for mankind. The idea is to build
- 3:09Speaker 1: a national movement to bring us back and connect us
- 3:12Speaker 1: with our history, our founding principles, the two hundred and
- 3:15Speaker 1: fifty thousand Steps for Freedom. We'll just learn all about
- 3:18Speaker 1: that with AFP's Donald. I need an opportunity for you
- 3:20Speaker 1: and I to help out and of course spread the
- 3:23Speaker 1: news about America's history lost topic in American classrooms. Clamart
- 3:29Speaker 1: County Veterans Services, Steve Belts, their returns talk about transportation
- 3:32Speaker 1: for veterans to their appointments. Yes, they will drive you
- 3:36Speaker 1: back and forth to your appointments. The return to Steve
- 3:38Speaker 1: seven forty, followed by Donna Murphy. Donna Murphy wants to
- 3:42Speaker 1: tell you all about Heaven's Gate Ministries, which sounds like,
- 3:46Speaker 1: but what was that, Joe, Oh yeah, yeah Gate. Yes,
- 3:50Speaker 1: you're right because I was thinking of Gay to Heaven Cemetery.
- 3:53Speaker 1: It's Heaven's Gain. Thank you, Joe Strecker. Without Joe, you see,
- 3:56Speaker 1: I would screw up and you would think, Thomas, you're
- 3:58Speaker 1: an idiot. I know about Heaven's Gain and it's not
- 4:00Speaker 1: Heaven's Gate anyway. Heaven's Gain Ministries their mission is to
- 4:04Speaker 1: provide physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. And what it's sad, sad,
- 4:08Speaker 1: sad thing to think about families experiencing pregnancy loss, Yeah, miscarriage,
- 4:14Speaker 1: still birth, early newborn death, right after birth. I imagine
- 4:17Speaker 1: can you imagine the emotional toll that would take on? Well,
- 4:19Speaker 1: that's why Heavens Gain is around to help folks in need.
- 4:22Speaker 1: We'll learn about that coming up at eight oh five
- 4:25Speaker 1: with Donna Murphy and followed by of course Judge out
- 4:27Speaker 1: of Paula Tana does the United States still have a constitution.
- 4:32Speaker 1: That's a good question. Maybe not anyway, five on three
- 4:37Speaker 1: seven fifty five hundred, eight hundred eight two three talk
- 4:41Speaker 1: found five fifty on AT and T phone. So there
- 4:44Speaker 1: we go. Yeah, the government is back open. I know
- 4:49Speaker 1: you were really concerned about it. Anyway. The vote yesterday
- 4:52Speaker 1: advancing D five bills, the formerly the six bills one
- 4:56Speaker 1: torn off. That will be the DHS funding component, which
- 4:58Speaker 1: they've done a continuing resolute maintaining DHS funding at the
- 5:02Speaker 1: current levels for two weeks so they can hash out
- 5:04Speaker 1: arguments that Democrats are advancing, like body cameras, no masks,
- 5:08Speaker 1: and of course judicial warrants versus administrative warrns. That is
- 5:13Speaker 1: what Judge Nina Paula Tana is going to explain later
- 5:15Speaker 1: in the program at eight thirty. Yeah, the judge no
- 5:17Speaker 1: fan of administrative warrants. Shocking no one who's been listening
- 5:21Speaker 1: to the judge of late So two seventeen to two fourteen,
- 5:24Speaker 1: described as a bipartisan vote, twenty one lawmakers said no
- 5:28Speaker 1: to it, predicated on two reasons. First off, Thomas Massey
- 5:34Speaker 1: pointed it out he wanted to save Act the Safeguard
- 5:36Speaker 1: American voter Eligibility Act that would require photo ideas for
- 5:40Speaker 1: registered voters who want to vote in federal elections. A problem.
- 5:45Speaker 1: No one has any problem with that. The polling is out,
- 5:48Speaker 1: the information is in. If you're against photo IDs, you
- 5:51Speaker 1: are in these distinct, small minority. This is just a
- 5:55Speaker 1: no brainer across the political spectrum. Yes, photo IDs are
- 5:59Speaker 1: a good thing. Yes, yes, they help us. You know,
- 6:01Speaker 1: believe the election was done with integrity. Anyhow, get to
- 6:06Speaker 1: some statistics on that. The other people who voted either
- 6:09Speaker 1: it was a combination of the Save Act not being
- 6:11Speaker 1: a part of the vote, or the whole concept of
- 6:15Speaker 1: kicking the can down the road on DHS funding. That
- 6:18Speaker 1: was some of the reasons others did not vote for it.
- 6:20Speaker 1: So this two week extension on DHS funding, they say,
- 6:24Speaker 1: we'll give negotiators time to work through all of these
- 6:26Speaker 1: different provisions. The Democrats won again no masks, cameras, and
- 6:32Speaker 1: the administrative warrant versus judicial warrant. They don't think that
- 6:37Speaker 1: the Democrats are going to negotiate in good faith. Okay, Anyway,
- 6:43Speaker 1: lawmakers concerned about that DHS funding again, it's one of
- 6:47Speaker 1: the reasons twenty one said no to it. So Trump
- 6:51Speaker 1: signed it in we are back in business, and speaking
- 6:53Speaker 1: of the Save Act, Chuckie Schimmer is getting some backlash
- 6:56Speaker 1: because he thinks that the Save Act is a version
- 6:59Speaker 1: of Jim Crow. Wow. I mean, even CNN had this
- 7:03Speaker 1: on the other day talking about the polling out everybody
- 7:06Speaker 1: favors photo ID. It's kind of hilarious. They went back
- 7:11Speaker 1: all the way back to twenty eighteen, looking at all
- 7:13Speaker 1: the polling, everything is north of seventy five percent. They
- 7:17Speaker 1: pointed out, if you go year to year to year,
- 7:19Speaker 1: it can eat to stay static in about seventy five
- 7:21Speaker 1: or seventy six percent. But in the last couple of years,
- 7:24Speaker 1: people favoring a photo ID for elections has jumped eighty
- 7:28Speaker 1: one percent prior year and then eighty three percent last year. Okay,
- 7:33Speaker 1: what about the party breakdown? Ninety five percent of Republicans
- 7:36Speaker 1: say yes, seventy one percent of Democrats also favor photo
- 7:41Speaker 1: ID to vote. Huh all, But see, this is a
- 7:46Speaker 1: minority thing, right, because the Democrats will tell you black
- 7:49Speaker 1: people and other people of color I guess aren't capable
- 7:52Speaker 1: of meeting the needs or meeting the requirements to get
- 7:55Speaker 1: a photo ID, which is disgustingly racist. Conclusion Democrats historically,
- 8:00Speaker 1: year after year, keep telling black people, for example, that
- 8:03Speaker 1: they're not smart enough to get a photo ID, insulting. Yes,
- 8:08Speaker 1: eighty five percent of white people favor of photo ID,
- 8:11Speaker 1: eighty two percent of Latino people favor of photo ID,
- 8:14Speaker 1: seventy six percent of Black Americans favor of photo ID.
- 8:18Speaker 1: This is not a controversial issue at all, and yet
- 8:24Speaker 1: Chucky Schumer pushing back on adding the Save Act during
- 8:28Speaker 1: the discussions and debate over the vote yesterday, just requires
- 8:32Speaker 1: the states to obtain proof of citizenship in person when
- 8:34Speaker 1: people register to vote, and remove non citizens from voter rolls.
- 8:39Speaker 1: I have said it before and I'll say it again.
- 8:42Speaker 1: The Save Act would impose Jim Crow type laws to
- 8:45Speaker 1: the entire country, and his dead on arrival in the Senate.
- 8:48Speaker 1: It's a poison pill that will kill any legislation that's
- 8:51Speaker 1: attached to it. The Save Act is reminiscent of Jim
- 8:54Speaker 1: Crow era laws and would expand them to the whole
- 8:56Speaker 1: of America. Republicans want to restore Jim Crow and apply
- 8:59Speaker 1: it from one end of this country to the other.
- 9:01Speaker 1: It will not happen.
- 9:03Speaker 3: Ah.
- 9:05Speaker 1: Does that sound like a familiar statement. I know it does.
- 9:08Speaker 1: I remember the multitude. At times, people refer to these
- 9:10Speaker 1: various laws as Jim Crow era laws, which it's so
- 9:16Speaker 1: easy if you go through any Jim Crow era law,
- 9:18Speaker 1: it's easy to see them as blatantly and overtly racist
- 9:21Speaker 1: because it basically deprived black people of the opportunity to
- 9:24Speaker 1: even vote. This is not it's photo ID. Is there
- 9:27Speaker 1: any color associated with obtaining a photo ID? Does it
- 9:30Speaker 1: say get a photo ID if you're a person of color,
- 9:32Speaker 1: White people need not apply. No, it does not. It
- 9:35Speaker 1: is nothing racial about it. But then again, go to Georgia,
- 9:39Speaker 1: remember Georgia. She ever had the same thing describing George's
- 9:44Speaker 1: laws back when these were being discussed Georgia Election Integrity law.
- 9:49Speaker 1: He referred to it as Jim Crow two point zero.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Oh my word. But what happened in twenty twenty two
- 9:54Speaker 1: during the election after this law was passed in the
- 9:56Speaker 1: state of Georgia, Remember Major League Baseball pulled the All
- 10:00Speaker 1: Star Game from Atlanta in twenty twenty one. I'm in
- 10:02Speaker 1: the public outrage over this Jim Crow two point zero
- 10:05Speaker 1: as they as they as they were characterizing it. Uh wow.
- 10:12Speaker 1: Right after the election, the Georgia Secretary of State pointed
- 10:15Speaker 1: out that the law did not suppress voter turnout. In fact,
- 10:19Speaker 1: among minority voters, voter turnout actually increased. Huh, well, I
- 10:25Speaker 1: guess the law didn't have its intended effect, did it.
- 10:30Speaker 5: Jeez.
- 10:33Speaker 1: University of Georgia poll after the twenty twenty two election
- 10:36Speaker 1: found that zero person a black respondence had a poor
- 10:41Speaker 1: experience voting. So this would be basically the Georgia law
- 10:45Speaker 1: rolled out on a federal level. And it's something apparently
- 10:47Speaker 1: everyone really with a vast majority of folks, have no
- 10:51Speaker 1: problem with and really like to dive on into the
- 10:54Speaker 1: thinking of someone who thinks that the photo ID requirement
- 10:57Speaker 1: to vote is a bad idea. What's lurking in the
- 11:00Speaker 1: back of their mind? Eradicate this whole nonsensical distraction that
- 11:04Speaker 1: it's an it is racist to require photo ID that
- 11:08Speaker 1: does not pass muster. What might be the reason, then, hm,
- 11:15Speaker 1: some suggest because a lot of the folks that are
- 11:19Speaker 1: against photo ID perhaps want to make it easy for
- 11:24Speaker 1: people who are not eligible to vote to vote. Yeah,
- 11:28Speaker 1: there's that pesky thing floating around out there. Five to
- 11:30Speaker 1: sixteen fifty five Kracity talk station five one three seven
- 11:32Speaker 1: four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two
- 11:34Speaker 1: to three talk pown to five fifty on AT and
- 11:36Speaker 1: T phone. Be right back after these words.
- 11:39Speaker 4: Here's what's happening.
- 11:40Speaker 1: We do believe that five twenty that'd be Wednesday on
- 11:46Speaker 1: three seven fifty five hundred eight hundred eight two three
- 11:49Speaker 1: talk pownd five fifty on AT and T phones. And uh,
- 11:52Speaker 1: let us see here coming into a state near you
- 11:59Speaker 1: and not soon enough. I think there are some people
- 12:01Speaker 1: sweating bullets here in the state of Ohio, given that
- 12:03Speaker 1: the at least the Trump administration seems to have some
- 12:06Speaker 1: concern over your labor stolen in the form of tax
- 12:10Speaker 1: dollars being built or stolen from basically the country. The fraud, waste,
- 12:14Speaker 1: and abuse, it's on and on and out, been going
- 12:16Speaker 1: on on this over and over again, revealed and exposed,
- 12:19Speaker 1: in large part thanks to Minneapolis and the Somalian community
- 12:22Speaker 1: up there in the leering centers, one little, tiny, tiny, tiny,
- 12:26Speaker 1: yet multi billion dollar slice of government. Massive fraud, wasted, abuse, prosecutions, convictions,
- 12:33Speaker 1: people have been indicted. It's focused a light on the
- 12:36Speaker 1: very corrupt Somali community and the amount of people who
- 12:38Speaker 1: are on welfare there as well. Okay, let's pivot over
- 12:41Speaker 1: to California, also getting the attention of doctor mendmon Oz,
- 12:46Speaker 1: CMS chief the figures themselves, you know, without even saying
- 12:51Speaker 1: this is fraud or this you know the look well
- 12:54Speaker 1: you just say there has to be fraud given the figures.
- 12:57Speaker 1: In this particular case, it's hospice. And I just I'm
- 13:06Speaker 1: beside myself. Stolen taxpayer dollars is what they're saying. That
- 13:08Speaker 1: amounts to Los Angeles County. The county alone accounts for
- 13:16Speaker 1: eighteen percent of the entire country's home health care billing.
- 13:23Speaker 1: One singular California physician built a government one hundred and
- 13:27Speaker 1: twenty million dollars a year. He claimed to over being
- 13:29Speaker 1: overseeing nineteen hundred patients, which is basically an impossibility. The
- 13:34Speaker 1: singular county, Los Angeles County, has almost two thousand hospice
- 13:41Speaker 1: agencies that constitutes more than thirty six states combined. One
- 13:48Speaker 1: county more hospice agencies than thirty six states, thirty times
- 13:54Speaker 1: the number in Florida and New York. And I think
- 13:56Speaker 1: Florida is an important figure to focus on. Remember in
- 13:59Speaker 1: the old days, anyway, where do retired people go, people
- 14:02Speaker 1: who might ultimately end up being in hospice right Florida.
- 14:05Speaker 1: It was the retirement destination. So clearly, you know, the
- 14:07Speaker 1: older you get, the more likely you're going to be
- 14:09Speaker 1: eligible for hospice care. Guests there, y'all have it, they say.
- 14:15Speaker 1: Fraud operators through recruiters who lure seniors with freebies like
- 14:19Speaker 1: walkers or cash, then take the Medicare numbers because they
- 14:22Speaker 1: have to give them that to get the freebie, and
- 14:24Speaker 1: sell the Medicare number to providers for between one thousand
- 14:27Speaker 1: and three thousand dollars each. Those providers then build a
- 14:30Speaker 1: federal government two hundred and sixty bucks per day per
- 14:33Speaker 1: patient and of course often for non existent services, and
- 14:37Speaker 1: then they begin shuffling and rollees back and forth between
- 14:40Speaker 1: these various outlets. Okay, here's a fun fact. If it
- 14:44Speaker 1: hasn't sunk in yet, Props to Steve Watson over at
- 14:50Speaker 1: Modernity News for providing the basic core information on this
- 14:53Speaker 1: Los Angeles, San Fernando Valley, notably Van Nuys, California. Two
- 15:00Speaker 1: one hundred and ten of these agencies all within one
- 15:06Speaker 1: square mile of each other, and much like the Learing
- 15:09Speaker 1: Center problem going on in Minneapolis, one singular building listing
- 15:12Speaker 1: one hundred and twelve hospices which apparently people were looking
- 15:18Speaker 1: at and they're showing no actual operations going on one building.
- 15:21Speaker 1: One hundred and twelve hospice agencies presumably all getting two
- 15:24Speaker 1: hundred and sixty dollars per day for these fictitious patients.
- 15:27Speaker 1: Are these stolen numbers? The president of the California Hospice
- 15:32Speaker 1: Palliative Care Association, a woman named Sheila Clark, said, hey,
- 15:37Speaker 1: at Medicare, MiB number is more lucrative than a credit card.
- 15:41Speaker 1: They're human traffickers. They're trafficking beneficiaries in and out of hospices,
- 15:46Speaker 1: home health. We need to listen to these people when
- 15:48Speaker 1: they say I've been scammed. Yeah, you should. And the
- 15:54Speaker 1: we that needs to listen to people who are saying
- 15:56Speaker 1: I've been scammed. And you and I and everyone out
- 15:58Speaker 1: there who pays tax to the federal government, we should
- 16:01Speaker 1: all be screaming we have been scammed. That'll be the
- 16:05Speaker 1: people responsible in government who are supposed to be overseeing
- 16:09Speaker 1: the allocation of scarce tax dollars. Duh. One single county, California,
- 16:22Speaker 1: one single city in Minneapolis. I'm presuming the same court
- 16:26Speaker 1: of county concentration when it comes to leering centers or
- 16:29Speaker 1: any other type of fraud and abuse, zero oversight. This
- 16:36Speaker 1: is tippitty iceberg stuff, folks. Just I mean this probably
- 16:39Speaker 1: low hanging fruit. Can you imagine if they went and
- 16:41Speaker 1: they were able to actually claw back all the money
- 16:44Speaker 1: that has been stolen from you and I have you
- 16:48Speaker 1: got to balance a federal budget? Five twenty five. Right now,
- 16:50Speaker 1: Jay's on the phone. He always wants to talk about fraud,
- 16:52Speaker 1: waste abuse. Hold on, Jay, gets your called right out
- 16:54Speaker 1: of the gate, and some local stories coming up. You're
- 16:56Speaker 1: right back fifty five KRC.
- 16:58Speaker 5: You know who's listening to the radio?
- 17:00Speaker 3: Book?
- 17:02Speaker 1: Is there always some kind of weather system coming from
- 17:05Speaker 1: the area. Anyway, I don't write them, I just read them.
- 17:10Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones and we'll start with Jay.
- 17:12Speaker 1: Got a few callers online, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Jay.
- 17:14Speaker 1: Welcome man, Thanks for holding up the brake there.
- 17:17Speaker 6: Hey, good morning, Brian. Hey, I haven't heard that there
- 17:21Speaker 6: was any budget cuts with reopening this government, which which
- 17:26Speaker 6: I believe means that once again we've passed Joe Biden's budget,
- 17:31Speaker 6: just like the Big Beautiful Bill did. Dick the can
- 17:34Speaker 6: down the road. Here we are again. If we haven't
- 17:36Speaker 6: cut anything from the budget, we is in the Republicans.
- 17:40Speaker 6: Then Joe Biden is celebrating, Barack Obama is celebrating that
- 17:46Speaker 6: their agenda, their spending levels continue to advance forward.
- 17:50Speaker 7: And on top of that, we've got ideas the.
- 17:52Speaker 6: Conservatives seemed to be warming up to that we're just
- 17:55Speaker 6: going to give money to children that haven't been born yet.
- 17:58Speaker 6: We're going to call them a Trump account. I thought
- 18:00Speaker 6: our country was broke. I thought we were thirty eight
- 18:03Speaker 6: trillion in debt, and then I hear these conservatives, and
- 18:06Speaker 6: I like the guy Tom Zallastowski, I think yesterday down
- 18:09Speaker 6: we the People Convention talking about how this is going
- 18:14Speaker 6: to be great because now the money can go directly
- 18:17Speaker 6: to the kids and the parents can't steal it. And
- 18:20Speaker 6: I'm asking myself, what makes you think when the kid
- 18:24Speaker 6: turns eighteen that dad can't say, give me that Trump
- 18:27Speaker 6: money or you can get the hell out of the house.
- 18:29Speaker 1: Oh yeah, are the control Yeah, the layers and layers
- 18:33Speaker 1: on this. We could go all day long on it.
- 18:35Speaker 1: And you know, like I pointed out, even the idea
- 18:38Speaker 1: that it only is a window of opportunity for folks
- 18:40Speaker 1: born between the first of January twenty five and the
- 18:42Speaker 1: end of county. You're twenty eight. What about the people
- 18:45Speaker 1: who are born in January first, twenty nine. They're going
- 18:47Speaker 1: to be screaming all day long about hey, hey, hey, hey,
- 18:49Speaker 1: where's my thousand? So I initially reacted with a sort
- 18:53Speaker 1: of approval of the idea because it is good, a
- 18:56Speaker 1: good learning exercise. It makes it inspires responsible, and it
- 19:00Speaker 1: is a learning exercise. It's an opportunity, like, hey, there's
- 19:03Speaker 1: an account already been formed. I don't have to go
- 19:06Speaker 1: through the real hassle, which it is of opening a
- 19:09Speaker 1: five to twenty nine account myself and doing the work
- 19:12Speaker 1: on that, and then I can contribute to that. It's there,
- 19:14Speaker 1: it's done for you. It's an opportunity for others, philanthropists,
- 19:17Speaker 1: family members to put some money in there. An employer
- 19:20Speaker 1: could offer money for employees' children. Great. But going back, yeah,
- 19:24Speaker 1: I even apologize for not standing up for my little
- 19:29Speaker 1: libertarian street creds when I thought the idea was a
- 19:31Speaker 1: good one. Taking away the idea generally and what it
- 19:35Speaker 1: can accomplish, there's still that pesky problem of us spending
- 19:38Speaker 1: too much blanken money from the federal government. Our peski
- 19:42Speaker 1: twenty or thirty eight trillion dollar hole in the ground
- 19:44Speaker 1: that keeps growing and growing, and a rapacious group of
- 19:47Speaker 1: Republicans and Democrats who continue to fund government at levels
- 19:50Speaker 1: that we cannot afford. Demonstrably, if we want.
- 19:53Speaker 6: To, if we want to help our kids, all of them,
- 19:57Speaker 6: what we do is we pay down this debt because
- 19:59Speaker 6: the legacy we're going to leave them as slavery. The
- 20:02Speaker 6: depth that's hanging around.
- 20:04Speaker 7: Our kids and their kids and their kids is going
- 20:07Speaker 7: to go into the history books of not the greatest nation,
- 20:11Speaker 7: but the worst gen not the greatest generation, but the
- 20:14Speaker 7: worst generations because we couldn't stop spending.
- 20:17Speaker 8: And again go back to the.
- 20:18Speaker 6: Insider trading like you and I have talked about, the
- 20:21Speaker 6: interests that are trading opportunities for the politicians down in
- 20:23Speaker 6: Washington to get in front of these investments. They're going
- 20:27Speaker 6: to buy in early. All this federal money is going
- 20:29Speaker 6: to flow into it, and we're going to see the
- 20:32Speaker 6: DC politicians again with one hundred and seventy five thousand
- 20:35Speaker 6: dollars year salary overnight be worth millions and tens of
- 20:39Speaker 6: millions and hundreds of millions. It's going to happen. So
- 20:42Speaker 6: I've not heard anything that I've not heard anything about
- 20:45Speaker 6: what the controls are in this And you know who
- 20:47Speaker 6: takes care of my kid, Brian, you I do, I
- 20:49Speaker 6: know you put money in his account, the two thousand
- 20:53Speaker 6: dollars a year.
- 20:53Speaker 1: I can I understand? No, I mean point taking, Jed,
- 20:57Speaker 1: I mean point well take and that reference for about
- 21:00Speaker 1: politicians making money overnight one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars.
- 21:03Speaker 1: Most recent example Massachusetts conre earths woman Ariana Dianna Presley.
- 21:08Speaker 1: She went from a negative networth of twelve five hundred
- 21:11Speaker 1: dollars to claiming between one and eight million dollars in networth.
- 21:15Speaker 1: Fast forward just a few years. How does one accomplish that?
- 21:18Speaker 1: It's good point man, Let's see what Tom's got this morning. Tom,
- 21:20Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday, Welcome to the Morning Show.
- 21:23Speaker 9: Say hey, good morning. It's it's too bad that when
- 21:27Speaker 9: they started talking about these curfew centers in Cincinnati. It's
- 21:32Speaker 9: too bad that nobody thought far enough ahead to say
- 21:35Speaker 9: it's probably a waste of money. So yeah, I didn't
- 21:40Speaker 9: hear any of that. Did you know?
- 21:42Speaker 1: Now, if the curfew centers, if the allocation for curfew
- 21:45Speaker 1: centers came along with a strong, forceful demand that the
- 21:50Speaker 1: CINCINNTI Police Department enforced the curfew to the fullest extent
- 21:54Speaker 1: of its being able to be enforced, then you'd be
- 21:56Speaker 1: using the curfew centers at least that's my thought. Are
- 22:01Speaker 1: the FOP president Ken Kober is going to come on
- 22:03Speaker 1: and he'll explain that whether or not that's actually happening.
- 22:06Speaker 1: I suspect it's not.
- 22:08Speaker 9: It's probably not. And I really don't blame the guys.
- 22:10Speaker 9: I mean, if you can get the kids to to
- 22:12Speaker 9: disperse or whatever, you know, say they're going home, but
- 22:15Speaker 9: not be causing trouble or whatever. Yeah, I mean, you
- 22:17Speaker 9: got having the babysit children in the middle of the
- 22:20Speaker 9: night is a pain, you know. I'm saying I have
- 22:23Speaker 9: to do. I have to do it at work every day,
- 22:25Speaker 9: so I get it, but I don't I don't really
- 22:29Speaker 9: blame them. I'm not saying they shouldn't do their job,
- 22:31Speaker 9: but I don't really blame them. I mean, there's more
- 22:33Speaker 9: important things going on to babysitting kids. Just get them
- 22:35Speaker 9: to disperse and knock off whatever knucklehead crap they're doing.
- 22:38Speaker 9: So Yeah, the main topic I wanted to talk about
- 22:41Speaker 9: my my, uh my coworker, Brian Back in Cincinnati, the Pride.
- 22:46Speaker 4: Of Toledo, Ohio.
- 22:47Speaker 9: He was bawling my phone up yesterday about this whole
- 22:50Speaker 9: voter I D thing, and it is it makes it
- 22:53Speaker 9: The only sensible thing that we can think is that
- 22:56Speaker 9: people want to leave an opening for cheating. That's That's
- 22:59Speaker 9: the only thing that makes sense, is why people are
- 23:02Speaker 9: opposed to this. It's it's saying people who either don't
- 23:07Speaker 9: want you to have guns or want you to have
- 23:08Speaker 9: a full cavity search in a background check if you
- 23:11Speaker 9: do get a gun, are the ones saying that, no,
- 23:14Speaker 9: you shouldn't have to have an idea to vote. That's
- 23:16Speaker 9: the I mean, their hypocrisy is obvious. We have to
- 23:21Speaker 9: see you right through. It's like every other thing that
- 23:23Speaker 9: the left is screaming about for or against, they're lying
- 23:26Speaker 9: to you. They're ridiculously stupid. And you know, we just
- 23:30Speaker 9: got to keep telling people and reminding people. And I'm
- 23:33Speaker 9: all in favor of what Jay's talking about. It's just
- 23:35Speaker 9: getting people to get into office to actually have the
- 23:37Speaker 9: stones to do something like that. That's very hard to do,
- 23:40Speaker 9: but we got to keep trying. And the obvious way
- 23:43Speaker 9: to the first step is don't vote Democrat.
- 23:45Speaker 4: Have a great day.
- 23:46Speaker 1: You do the same time. Appreciate the call. Five? Do
- 23:49Speaker 1: am sure? Gary's up next you If you choose to
- 23:51Speaker 1: hold over the break, your calls are all so welcome.
- 23:53Speaker 1: I'll be right back two three talking to a stack
- 23:56Speaker 1: of stup but I gotta do im Suregary on the phone. Gary,
- 23:58Speaker 1: thanks for holding over the break. Welcome back my friend.
- 24:01Speaker 4: Hey Brian, how you doing. Hey, I'm going to recommend
- 24:05Speaker 4: a trust account that everybody born after December third, nineteen
- 24:11Speaker 4: sixty one and before December fifth, nineteen sixty one receive
- 24:18Speaker 4: one thousand dollars.
- 24:20Speaker 1: What do you think everybody get their hand in the
- 24:23Speaker 1: cooking jar?
- 24:24Speaker 4: Exactly?
- 24:25Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying.
- 24:26Speaker 4: Anyhow, I hear what you're saying.
- 24:27Speaker 1: Gary. Why again, if we live in a clean slate
- 24:32Speaker 1: world and the federal government was sitting on a pilot
- 24:34Speaker 1: cash and thought it was a good idea to hand
- 24:36Speaker 1: it out to some folks. You know, conceptually, there's a
- 24:39Speaker 1: lot of good reasons we should start young people off
- 24:41Speaker 1: with some money in the pocket. But no, this is
- 24:43Speaker 1: not the job or the role of the federal government.
- 24:45Speaker 1: I appreciate it. I am convinced. I think a lot
- 24:48Speaker 1: of good could come from it, but the good does
- 24:50Speaker 1: not outweigh the downside, which is this is not the
- 24:54Speaker 1: federal government's role.
- 24:57Speaker 4: Or how about just simply simply enough, maybe I should
- 25:02Speaker 4: start a football team and move move to New Hampshire
- 25:08Speaker 4: and see if the city of the state of Ohio
- 25:11Speaker 4: would like to pay me six.
- 25:13Speaker 1: Hundred billion, Yes, six million, that's a tougher road house
- 25:18Speaker 1: since you see out of the state. I mean, at
- 25:20Speaker 1: least you can make a plausible argument that Cleveland, within
- 25:22Speaker 1: the state of Ohio should get some money. That argument
- 25:25Speaker 1: will never pass muster with me, but certainly no one
- 25:28Speaker 1: in New Hampshire should get anyhow taxpayer dollars. But your
- 25:30Speaker 1: points while taking Gary obviously well.
- 25:34Speaker 4: Or I can open up a leering center, you could,
- 25:37Speaker 4: and I can move to Zanesville in an empty.
- 25:40Speaker 1: Warehouse you could, apparently that's easy to could or open
- 25:44Speaker 1: up a hospice clinic, or open up one hundred of
- 25:46Speaker 1: them in one building and just go ahead and collect
- 25:48Speaker 1: the money for years and years and years, because literally
- 25:50Speaker 1: no one will be paying attention. Appreciated New Hampshire Gary
- 25:54Speaker 1: as always, brother, maybe get your iHeart media folks, you
- 25:57Speaker 1: can be like New Hampshire Gary. You can be out
- 25:58Speaker 1: of state, listen to the iHeart Meat content and of
- 26:01Speaker 1: course streaming the fifty five Cars Morning Show fifty five
- 26:04Speaker 1: KRC dot com. Let's go to the stack of stupid
- 26:08Speaker 1: Toledo woman claiming she's never going to order food delivery again.
- 26:13Speaker 1: Well not from door dash anyway. Yes she has a
- 26:15Speaker 1: ring camera, Yes she recorded the DoorDash delivery, and yes
- 26:19Speaker 1: it is disturbing. Ashley May claims her food delivered Monday
- 26:23Speaker 1: about five pm. Ring camera video shows a DoorDash driver
- 26:27Speaker 1: ready with her hand down her pants before handling the
- 26:32Speaker 1: food delivery. May quoted is saying, I ordered by DoorDash,
- 26:36Speaker 1: won it arrive. I was watching on my camera and
- 26:38Speaker 1: I seen sick the person who delivered it reach inside
- 26:42Speaker 1: of their pants and itch or something for a little while.
- 26:46Speaker 1: Then they used the same hand to set my food
- 26:48Speaker 1: down and proceed to take a picture and leave. I
- 26:52Speaker 1: was like, I didn't see what I'd just seen. This
- 26:55Speaker 1: is not me grammatically, you know that, So like I
- 26:58Speaker 1: rewanted to make sure it was that that and then
- 27:01Speaker 1: of course you didn't eat the food. Report of the
- 27:03Speaker 1: driver to door Dash she said, They're give me a
- 27:05Speaker 1: refund within five to seven business days. And they contact
- 27:08Speaker 1: me today and they're still claiming they give me fifty
- 27:10Speaker 1: dollars worth of credit on my account, So anyway, she
- 27:12Speaker 1: thinks she's probably not even going to use it. Door
- 27:15Speaker 1: Dash said, this behavior is unacceptable. We immediately took action
- 27:19Speaker 1: to deactivate the dasher and of contact the customer to
- 27:21Speaker 1: make things right. I know, dude, this is the time
- 27:28Speaker 1: the person was seen and captured on video doing something
- 27:34Speaker 1: that you might find disturbing, Joe, how many opportunities have
- 27:38Speaker 1: you seen when you ever need to go to a
- 27:39Speaker 1: restaurant and he plays somebody's preparing your food to actually
- 27:42Speaker 1: see the preparation take place. You ever know what's going
- 27:45Speaker 1: on back there? And didn't you used to work in
- 27:48Speaker 1: fast food? Joe? Yes? You did? You have any stories
- 27:51Speaker 1: to tell along those lines, just a couple, Just something
- 27:58Speaker 1: to think about. Georgia accused of killing a three month
- 28:01Speaker 1: old by putting a fatal amount of alcohol in the
- 28:06Speaker 1: child's bottle. I'm aarillion colon Colon thirty seven years old,
- 28:14Speaker 1: now facing murder chounts and first murder account first degree

- 29:10Speaker 1: the stack of stupid.
- 29:13Speaker 10: As this tradition, he meant.
- 29:15Speaker 1: Man convicted from the twenty twenty one murder of a
- 29:17Speaker 1: Connecticut motel owner happened last week. Alvin Waugh of Hartford,
- 29:23Speaker 1: thirty five years old, found guilty of murder and carrying
- 29:25Speaker 1: a pistol without a permit. Prosecutor said he shot and
- 29:30Speaker 1: killed a person named ZeShan Chawdry. Evidence at the trial
- 29:33Speaker 1: show that June twenty seventh, twenty one, chowdre he told
- 29:36Speaker 1: Wall to leave the Motel six in Vermont after wah
- 29:39Speaker 1: became belligerent over the price of a swimming pool pass
- 29:44Speaker 1: just cost ten dollars rather than lee, prosecutor say, Wall
- 29:50Speaker 1: returned to his motel room, got a homemade semi automatic
- 29:53Speaker 1: epistle and shot the victim eleven times, then took off
- 29:58Speaker 1: ten dollars. Is being held in a two million dollar bond,
- 30:02Speaker 1: obviously not a bond issued out of Hamilton County. Here
- 30:05Speaker 1: in the state of Ohio, here's one New York Police
- 30:15Speaker 1: Department sergeants on trial for fatally hurling a drink cooler
- 30:20Speaker 1: at a scooter riding drug suspect defended himself on the
- 30:24Speaker 1: stand on Monday, saying he was trying to save others
- 30:27Speaker 1: other officers' lives at the time. Quote. I thought he
- 30:29Speaker 1: was going to kill my guys, said Sergeant Eric Durhan,
- 30:33Speaker 1: sitting on the stand in the Bronx Supreme Court, charged
- 30:35Speaker 1: with manslaughter for the August twenty third, twenty twenty three
- 30:38Speaker 1: death of Eric Duprey, courted durand he was going so
- 30:41Speaker 1: fast he was going to crash right into them. Officer
- 30:45Speaker 1: was supervising an undercover buy and bust operation when prosecutors
- 30:49Speaker 1: claim he recklessly grabbed a full Igloo cooler and threw
- 30:54Speaker 1: it at thirty year old Duprey as he fled on
- 30:57Speaker 1: fled the scene on his motorized scooter.
- 31:00Speaker 10: What the hell?
- 31:01Speaker 1: After being hit with the coolerd to pray, crashed into
- 31:04Speaker 1: a tree, was flung from the scooter, cracked his head
- 31:08Speaker 1: on the pavement, and died almost immediately the act. Durn
- 31:13Speaker 1: claimed to pray at targeted police officers by riding a
- 31:15Speaker 1: scooter towards them on the side sidewalk, saying, at some point,
- 31:19Speaker 1: while I was going to grab that cooler, I noticed
- 31:21Speaker 1: it was the suspect. He looked right through me, who
- 31:24Speaker 1: was riding so fast, and he was braced. He was
- 31:26Speaker 1: ready for impact. Durana testified he immediately tried to render
- 31:31Speaker 1: aid to the dying suspect. But we all know how
- 31:34Speaker 1: that worked out. First New York police officer to go
- 31:37Speaker 1: on trial for killing someone on DIDY since twenty twenty one,
- 31:40Speaker 1: accord to the records. Sergeant claimed that his fellow officers
- 31:45Speaker 1: were facing the other way, and then he did not
- 31:47Speaker 1: have time to alert them about the bike zooming toward them, saying,
- 31:51Speaker 1: the only time that I had to think was how
- 31:53Speaker 1: to get the motorcycle to stop going at that speed
- 31:56Speaker 1: to hit my guys, he said. Durant also appeared to
- 31:59Speaker 1: down a downplay the impact of the cooler, claiming it
- 32:01Speaker 1: was it wasn't heavy, inspite of the fact that evidence
- 32:05Speaker 1: presented to trials said it was packed with drinks and
- 32:08Speaker 1: ice to the brim. He insisted, no, it wasn't heavy, right, Oh,
- 32:20Speaker 1: local stack is stupid. We co to Franklin. Franklin woman's

- 33:25Speaker 1: to murder at least one of her romantic interests, albeit
- 33:29Speaker 1: striking and almost killing an innocent victim. Just walk away,
- 33:34Speaker 1: Just Tracker, you hit the nail on the head with
- 33:36Speaker 1: that one. Gru Space, which is a startup company founded
- 33:44Speaker 1: by some guy named Skyler Chan He's twenty one, is

- 33:58Speaker 1: there in the world down payment four rooms. Final costs
- 34:04Speaker 1: of the room still unknown, but chances it will exceed
- 34:06Speaker 1: ten million dollars. Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots, right.
- 34:13Speaker 1: Goodness is you don't need to pay it all up front.
- 34:15Speaker 1: Company currently taking deposits of a quarter of a million
- 34:19Speaker 1: to a million dollars depending on the options selected. Anybody
- 34:26Speaker 1: want a place a bet on how likely it is

- 34:34Speaker 1: Any would about a place a bet on the company
- 34:36Speaker 1: gru Space going bankrupt and the proceeds from the people
- 34:42Speaker 1: who are dumbed up with down payments will be part
- 34:45Speaker 1: of the bankruptcy state or otherwise maybe spent on luxury
- 34:48Speaker 1: homes or drugs or whatever that this Skylar Chan wants
- 34:51Speaker 1: to spend it on. Right five fifty six fifty five
- 34:54Speaker 1: Care City Talk Station FOP President Ken kob Are on
- 34:57Speaker 1: the one hundred thousand dollars per child curfew Center that

- 35:03Speaker 1: I'll be right back.
- 35:05Speaker 6: Today's top headlines coming up at the the talk station.
- 35:08Speaker 1: Bryan Thomas right here hosted a thiky about hearsee morning
- 35:11Speaker 1: show and push You never want a happy Wednesday? Joe Strucker,
- 35:15Speaker 1: executive producer. We have the phone calls we want to
- 35:17Speaker 1: call in comment on something feel free five one, three, seven,
- 35:19Speaker 1: four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eight two three
- 35:21Speaker 1: talk time five fifty on AT and T phones. Yeah,
- 35:24Speaker 1: when you're a sanctuary state that means zero cooperation with ICE.
- 35:28Speaker 1: You can't because it will be I guess, giving up
- 35:33Speaker 1: on your pledge to not cooperate with ICE literally under
- 35:37Speaker 1: any circumstances. And what does that do? It puts idiots
- 35:39Speaker 1: and crazy folks like Abigail Spanberger, governor of the state
- 35:43Speaker 1: of Virginia, newly elected, I might point out, in a
- 35:47Speaker 1: rather difficult position. Apparently she has no intention of handing
- 35:50Speaker 1: over an illegal immigrant who was convicted of murdering his
- 35:54Speaker 1: own infant sister. Got a lot of them out, got
- 36:05Speaker 1: a detainer order, could throw them out of the country. Nope,
- 36:08Speaker 1: gotta let that person out. No cooperation whatsoever under any circumstances.
- 36:12Speaker 1: That a winning position for the Democrats. Apparently not. New
- 36:17Speaker 1: survey out Signal cyg n al new poll. It's signaled well,
- 36:25Speaker 1: described as one of the most accurate private polsters in
- 36:28Speaker 1: the country. Polled likely twenty twenty likely twenty twenty six
- 36:34Speaker 1: mid term voters that will be this November. Folks, found
- 36:36Speaker 1: that voters well are in favor of ICE, basically boiling
- 36:42Speaker 1: it down. Seventy three percent of voters say that entering
- 36:44Speaker 1: the United States illegally is breaking the law, which means
- 36:48Speaker 1: most Americans accept the basic premise behind the word quote
- 36:52Speaker 1: unquote illegal. Voters also accorded the signal poll backed deportation
- 36:58Speaker 1: of people in the country illegally by mar enough sixty
- 37:00Speaker 1: one to thirty four percent. Fifty four percent want ICE
- 37:05Speaker 1: to enforce federal immigration laws and remove illegal immigrants. Fifty
- 37:08Speaker 1: eight percent oppose efforts to defund the agency, which you
- 37:12Speaker 1: know yesterday that was a subject matter. We got twenty
- 37:14Speaker 1: one people in the House that said no to opening
- 37:16Speaker 1: the government back up, part of which because of the
- 37:19Speaker 1: issues surrounding DHS funding, which was broken off from the package.
- 37:23Speaker 1: So five of the six passed CR on the on
- 37:26Speaker 1: the sixth bill, which is DHS funding, which includes funding
- 37:29Speaker 1: for ICE, and now they're going to humph over for
- 37:32Speaker 1: a couple of weeks and hammer out terms and conditions.
- 37:34Speaker 1: The Democrats, of course, want mail masks, they want body cameras,
- 37:37Speaker 1: and they want to mandate that there will be no
- 37:40Speaker 1: administrative orders to pick people up. They want a judicial
- 37:43Speaker 1: order and judgement topoloton. What eight third is going to
- 37:45Speaker 1: be talking about the difference between administrative and judicial orders
- 37:48Speaker 1: should be an interesting conversation. Two thirds of likely mid
- 37:52Speaker 1: term voters, sixty four percent say illegal immigration is a
- 37:55Speaker 1: national problem, pivoting over to swing state voters, seventy one
- 38:00Speaker 1: percent saying illegal immigration is a national problem. Republicans described
- 38:05Speaker 1: as almost unanimous, with ninety seven percent saying it's a problem.
- 38:09Speaker 1: Sixty percent of independents. Independents also say it's a problem.
- 38:14Speaker 1: Democrats the only group which discussed which are an enlarge
- 38:18Speaker 1: measure saying it's not a problem. So huge minority the
- 38:21Speaker 1: Democrats on this particular issue. According to Signal, again, the
- 38:25Speaker 1: Polster Democrats do have a four point edge as we
- 38:29Speaker 1: move into the November election. On a generic ballot, are
- 38:33Speaker 1: you going to vote Republican or Democrat? In other words,
- 38:35Speaker 1: a question that does not relate or revolve around any
- 38:38Speaker 1: particular policy position. But as soon as you interject a
- 38:42Speaker 1: policy position, notably defunding ICE or weaken ICE enforcement, the
- 38:48Speaker 1: advantage Democrats have going into November disappears completely. How about that?
- 38:55Speaker 1: According to Signal, the Republicans gain whenever they draw a
- 38:58Speaker 1: clear contrast between enforcing immigration law and the democrats effort
- 39:02Speaker 1: to defund enforcement Signal CEO and founder Brent Buchanan a
- 39:09Speaker 1: Brent Buchanan quoted as saying, voter see ille illegal immigration
- 39:12Speaker 1: is a simple question of law and order. Americas want
- 39:14Speaker 1: the law enforced, they want illegal immigrants removed, and they
- 39:17Speaker 1: punish politicians who try to block ICE from doing his job.
- 39:22Speaker 1: Most notably, I would argue and interject in the case
- 39:24Speaker 1: like this Spanburger, crazy person, especially when the person that
- 39:28Speaker 1: should be deported has already been convicted of let's say, murder,
- 39:34Speaker 1: and the ICE agents are tapping their feet waiting around
- 39:36Speaker 1: for the person to hit the streets so they can
- 39:37Speaker 1: chuck them out of the country. Thus avoiding another murder
- 39:44Speaker 1: could be a pattern activity, you know, modus operandi. That
- 39:46Speaker 1: person may be demonstrably dangerous across the board five three seven,

- 39:56Speaker 1: forwarded along the article via Joe Strecker headl Tolerant leftists
- 40:02Speaker 1: call black officer quote house and word close quote for
- 40:08Speaker 1: misgendering a trans protester. Is that a winning strategy for
- 40:14Speaker 1: an election. Joe, notably Christopher observes, yes, it is Black
- 40:22Speaker 1: History Month. Also observed that these protesters in the street,
- 40:29Speaker 1: what do they scream and rant about all day long? Racist?
- 40:33Speaker 1: Racist racist racist, Ice is racist. Ice is racist. And
- 40:35Speaker 1: this has nothing to do with race, folks, And it
- 40:37Speaker 1: has something to do with one's legal status in the
- 40:39Speaker 1: country or not. Doesn't matter the color of their skin.
- 40:42Speaker 1: Question is whether they're here legally or not. End of discussion.
- 40:45Speaker 1: That is not a race based thing. That people tend
- 40:48Speaker 1: to look differently than white people. There are a lot
- 40:52Speaker 1: of people of color than are American citizens. Yeah, did
- 40:56Speaker 1: you notice that you've noticed that over the years, Joe,
- 40:59Speaker 1: haven't you anyway? Disturbing? Of course? FOP President Ken cober

- 42:22Speaker 1: have a constitution? And he is not a fan of
- 42:25Speaker 1: administrative warrants shocking no one. I guess who regularly listens
- 42:29Speaker 1: to what judge the politana has to say. So well else,
- 42:35Speaker 1: Oh yeah, by the way, I had to stick it
- 42:37Speaker 1: in there again. Doberman Pincher won the Westminster Kennel Dog
- 42:41Speaker 1: Club Dog Show yesterday, hundred fiftieth annual. Everybody knows I
- 42:45Speaker 1: love Doberman, So congratulations to the owner and handler of
- 42:49Speaker 1: the Doberman.
- 42:50Speaker 8: There.
- 42:51Speaker 1: What else is? Oh yeah, here in Ohio, I was
- 42:54Speaker 1: gonna get your reaction on this, or at least let
- 42:56Speaker 1: you know what's going on, because someone may be knocking
- 42:58Speaker 1: at your door looking for your signature. I guess it
- 43:01Speaker 1: was yesterday at Turney down to General Dave Yost has
- 43:03Speaker 1: certified what is now the latest but approved proposed referendum
- 43:09Speaker 1: petition regarding Senate Bill fifty six. They're going after the
- 43:14Speaker 1: crackdown on THHC and marijuana. So this will allow THHC
- 43:19Speaker 1: supporters to start collecting the quarter of a million signatures.
- 43:23Speaker 1: They need to put the question on the ballot. Let
- 43:25Speaker 1: you decide whether or not you want these restrictions in place.
- 43:30Speaker 1: Senate Bill fifty six spacificly. Now, remember in twenty twenty
- 43:33Speaker 1: three fifty seven percent of the folks here in Ohio
- 43:35Speaker 1: voted yes on issue too, which legalized recreational weed. Guess
- 43:40Speaker 1: they realized what would happen if they did that after
- 43:42Speaker 1: it was passed, and that's when they cracked down and
- 43:44Speaker 1: put SB fifty six and passed it. It's a public
- 43:46Speaker 1: smoking ban. Prohibit smoking in cars, gives landlords the ability
- 43:50Speaker 1: to prohibit smoking and vaping. Ban's outdoor venues from allowing marijuana.
- 43:54Speaker 1: Requires all products to be kept in the same package
- 43:56Speaker 1: they were brought in. Makes it a crime to have
- 43:59Speaker 1: an open marijuana container, which is described as someone has
- 44:03Speaker 1: a bag of edibles in the backseat of a lift
- 44:05Speaker 1: or a public bus. If it had ever been opened,
- 44:08Speaker 1: they would be breaking the law. Closed bag of edibles
- 44:11Speaker 1: sealed not a problem. I don't know how you discover
- 44:14Speaker 1: that anyway, incident to a well a valid police stop
- 44:17Speaker 1: perhaps also makes it a crime to buy out of
- 44:19Speaker 1: state cannabis. For those folks who like to drive to
- 44:21Speaker 1: Michigan to get the cheaper weed, that's against the law
- 44:24Speaker 1: under SB fifty six. Federal law does not allow you
- 44:27Speaker 1: to take across state lines, but no one is enforcing
- 44:30Speaker 1: federal marijuana laws, so as a state provision in law,
- 44:34Speaker 1: it's enforceable. Some claim the provision will allow police to
- 44:38Speaker 1: have probable cause during traffic stops if someone is a
- 44:42Speaker 1: known consumer of marijuana. Also infused drinks THHC infused drinks
- 44:49Speaker 1: banned by SB fifty six. So this ballot petition would
- 44:53Speaker 1: unring the bell of Senate Bill fifty six. So should
- 44:58Speaker 1: we have broader access to this weed? Should we stick
- 45:01Speaker 1: with what we originally voted for? Or keep the provisions
- 45:06Speaker 1: SESP fifty six in place? Zimmer Zimmer Heating and air conditioning.
- 45:10Speaker 1: Just a quick thank you to Chris Zimmer and the
- 45:15Speaker 1: It's six twenty here fift about Kersee talk station A
- 45:18Speaker 1: happy Wednesday listener lunch today. I hope to see they're
- 45:20Speaker 1: going to be a rhyme's roost over what's said. You
- 45:23Speaker 1: know me, I'm a huge school choice fan, and there
- 45:25Speaker 1: are better ways to teach our children, and I think
- 45:27Speaker 1: parents should be up to given the opportunity to select
- 45:29Speaker 1: which schools they go to. No shock there for and
- 45:31Speaker 1: he listens to the program, but perhaps to Jason Riley
- 45:35Speaker 1: upward mobility. His opinion New York City's charter schools live
- 45:39Speaker 1: up to their promise, and it's timing couldn't be better.
- 45:41Speaker 1: Jason Riley, I think it's important to note this man
- 45:44Speaker 1: is a well respected opinion columnist. He's also a senior
- 45:48Speaker 1: FELLO at the Manhattan Institute. He's also happened to be
- 45:51Speaker 1: a black man, which I think maybe in some people's minds,
- 45:55Speaker 1: increases the credibility of his comments because this is always
- 46:00Speaker 1: racially charged conversation. The idea of school choice, and he writes.
- 46:04Speaker 1: Veteran grassroots activist Bob Woodson has long argued that policymakers
- 46:08Speaker 1: would do better to spend less time focused on the
- 46:10Speaker 1: social pathology in low income communities and more on people
- 46:14Speaker 1: in those same communities who have beaten the odds. He said,
- 46:18Speaker 1: if we see that seventy percent of households are raising
- 46:21Speaker 1: children out of wedlocked I mean thirty percent or not,
- 46:24Speaker 1: we want to know what are the thirty percent doing
- 46:26Speaker 1: right now? How are they raising kids who are not
- 46:29Speaker 1: dropping out of school or on drugs or in jail.
- 46:31Speaker 1: Seek them out. We call them the antibodies of the community,
- 46:35Speaker 1: and put a microphone on them and say tell us
- 46:37Speaker 1: how you did this. Our public school system would likewise
- 46:41Speaker 1: seem indifferent toward identifying, studying, and replicating successful education models.
- 46:46Speaker 1: Everyone knows that there are too many substandard K through
- 46:49Speaker 1: twelve schools in America. The federal assessment released last year
- 46:53Speaker 1: found that only about one third of high school seniors
- 46:58Speaker 1: are prepared to handle college level reas in math, one
- 47:00Speaker 1: third American youngsters is so far from the top tier
- 47:04Speaker 1: performer international tests, students from Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Finland,
- 47:09Speaker 1: South Korea, Canada, and elsewhere have consistently outscored their US
- 47:14Speaker 1: counterparts in math and reading and science. Defenders of traditional
- 47:18Speaker 1: public schools insist that kids, not schools, are the problem.
- 47:22Speaker 1: They blame poor outcomes primarily on factors outside of the classroom,
- 47:26Speaker 1: that schools can't control economic disadvantage. Perhaps the most popular
- 47:30Speaker 1: scapegoat claim is that students from low income backgrounds, broken homes,
- 47:34Speaker 1: and violent neighborhoods can't be expected to read and write
- 47:36Speaker 1: at grade level. You've heard that before, I bet. Yet
- 47:40Speaker 1: we know from decades of empirical research that public charter
- 47:43Speaker 1: schools often outperform their traditional counterparts. The problem is The
- 47:47Speaker 1: American Federation of Teachers, the National Education Association, and other
- 47:52Speaker 1: opponents of school choice see charters as a threat not
- 47:56Speaker 1: to kids, but to the unions. Because most charter teachers
- 48:00Speaker 1: don't belong to a union. The AFT and NEA fear
- 48:03Speaker 1: that more charters will result in diminishing membership and dues.
- 48:06Speaker 1: Upshot of that is, the education establishment is far more
- 48:10Speaker 1: interested in dismissing or deriding charter schools than in learning
- 48:14Speaker 1: from their success. Detractors claim that school choice limits traditional
- 48:19Speaker 1: public schools by luring away more motivated students, but the
- 48:23Speaker 1: decline in the quality of public education in the United
- 48:27Speaker 1: States pre dates the advent of charters in the nineteen nineties.
- 48:32Speaker 1: Charter schools are being blamed for pre existing trends when
- 48:35Speaker 1: they should be credited for demonstrating the children from low
- 48:37Speaker 1: income families are just as capable of academic excellence as
- 48:41Speaker 1: they're better off peers. Amen new report published by The
- 48:46Speaker 1: seventy four, which is an education news site, is typical
- 48:49Speaker 1: the type of research the education establishment prefers to ignore.
- 48:54Speaker 1: The study of reading outcomes in New York State, public
- 48:58Speaker 1: schools that serve high concentration of economically disadvantaged children found
- 49:02Speaker 1: a disproportionate number of charter schools winning the highest marks.
- 49:07Speaker 1: Charters nine and a half percent of the studies sample,
- 49:10Speaker 1: but earned thirty eight and a half percent of the
- 49:12Speaker 1: spots on the list of exemplars. The ten highest scoring
- 49:17Speaker 1: schools were located in New York City. Seven of those
- 49:19Speaker 1: charter schools in the Bronx, home to some of the
- 49:22Speaker 1: poorest zip codes in the country. The report noted all
- 49:28Speaker 1: serve high concentration of low income students sixty six percent
- 49:31Speaker 1: to ninety two percent of children qualifying for free or
- 49:34Speaker 1: reduced price launch, and yet ninety percent and ninety seven
- 49:37Speaker 1: percent of their third graders were proficient readers in twenty
- 49:42Speaker 1: twenty four, of the year of our analysis. In comparison,
- 49:45Speaker 1: the proficiency rate of all third graders across the state
- 49:49Speaker 1: a mere forty three percent. The report also side of
- 49:54Speaker 1: traditional public schools, it did significantly better than the state
- 49:57Speaker 1: average and reading. But the obvious takeaway is the charters
- 50:00Speaker 1: are a viable motto model for narrowing the education gaps,
- 50:04Speaker 1: regardless of a student socio and economic background, and that
- 50:08Speaker 1: opposition to school choice is especially harmful to our neediest children.
- 50:12Speaker 1: Top scoring school, called the Success Academy charter school in
- 50:16Speaker 1: the Bronx student body poverty rate ninety percent, yet ninety
- 50:22Speaker 1: four percent of the schools of the students scored proficient
- 50:25Speaker 1: in third grade reading last year or twenty four Rather,
- 50:28Speaker 1: somehow the school managed to improve on that last year,
- 50:30Speaker 1: with proficiency rates reaching ninety six percent in reading and
- 50:35Speaker 1: one hundred percent proficiency in math. Huh, maybe there is
- 50:38Speaker 1: a better way out there. Response to the findings ought
- 50:42Speaker 1: to be the creation of more high performing charter schools.
- 50:44Speaker 1: The demand for parents is unmistakable. Wait list in New
- 50:46Speaker 1: York City one hundred and sixty three thousand students, yet
- 50:53Speaker 1: lawmakers have placed an arbitrary limit on the number of
- 50:55Speaker 1: charters that can operate in Zorahan Kami Mandami opposes lifting
- 50:59Speaker 1: the cap arbitrary cap as it may be. Why do
- 51:03Speaker 1: you think there's a cap in place on something that
- 51:05Speaker 1: the populous is demanding the poor, impoverished communities. Maybe people
- 51:12Speaker 1: of color demanding an access in a spot in a
- 51:15Speaker 1: charter school. There aren't enough of them. New York Posts
- 51:20Speaker 1: reported in December that Mandami rebuffed and offered to meet
- 51:23Speaker 1: with charter school operators to talk about how they can
- 51:26Speaker 1: work together. He suggested, maybe the mayor should talk to
- 51:30Speaker 1: Bob Woodson, who looks at the statistics. Boy, that's frustrating.
- 51:35Speaker 1: Is it not? Sort of revealing, isn't it? Six twenty
- 51:38Speaker 1: seven fifty five KRCD Talk station. It's six thirty one
- 51:44Speaker 1: on a Wednesday. Listener lunch Wednesday, Ron's is the place
- 51:47Speaker 1: to be. Good time to be listening to the fifty
- 51:49Speaker 1: five CARC Morning Show. I always truly appreciate the Fraternal Order.
- 51:52Speaker 1: Police President Ken Kobra, representing the Sin Sint Police Department Union,
- 51:56Speaker 1: joins the program. Welcome back, Ken, It's great having me
- 51:59Speaker 1: back on the show. My friend.
- 52:00Speaker 3: Thank good morning, Brian. Thanks for having me.
- 52:02Speaker 1: And I'm sure you saw the reporting. It's why we're
- 52:04Speaker 1: talking today. The one hundred thousand dollars per kid curfew
- 52:07Speaker 1: centers now, it's part of the five point four million
- 52:09Speaker 1: dollar public safety money that was allocated last year in
- 52:12Speaker 1: the aftermath of the well the beatdowns and other criminal activity.
- 52:16Speaker 1: They said they were going to start enforcing the curse.
- 52:18Speaker 1: He's strengthening the curfew for those under the age of eighteen.
- 52:21Speaker 1: I will have a question on but in that five
- 52:23Speaker 1: point four million was three hundred and eighty thousand dollars
- 52:26Speaker 1: to operate curfew centers. One hundred and eighty five going
- 52:29Speaker 1: to seven Hills one hundred and ninety five for the
- 52:31Speaker 1: Lighthouse Youth and Family And according to Scott Wortman's reporting
- 52:35Speaker 1: from The enquire the other day they did the research,
- 52:37Speaker 1: there was a report from Interim Chief Henny only four
- 52:41Speaker 1: youths were taken to the centers four since they opened
- 52:46Speaker 1: in August. Just a straightforward question, Ken Cober, is these
- 52:50Speaker 1: are the Cincinnti police officers really aggressively pursuing curfew or
- 52:54Speaker 1: do they view it like any other minor crime. It's
- 52:57Speaker 1: not worth the paperwork or hassle or headache. I'm just
- 52:59Speaker 1: kind of curious us.
- 53:01Speaker 3: No, you know, it's something that I certainly I predicted
- 53:04Speaker 3: that they weren't going to do it because these cops
- 53:07Speaker 3: would be vilified if something went wrong. Yeah, and that's
- 53:10Speaker 3: what they well, we're going to have them enforce this.
- 53:12Speaker 3: Well they can say that all day long, but the
- 53:14Speaker 3: reality is, as soon as they do, and if something
- 53:17Speaker 3: goes wrong, say it's something as simple as tasing a
- 53:19Speaker 3: kid because the kid runs from you, it's it's something
- 53:23Speaker 3: that they would you would make headlines, you know, and
- 53:26Speaker 3: they certainly worry about whether or not they would have
- 53:28Speaker 3: the support of the city administration. So they just said, well,
- 53:31Speaker 3: I'm going to deal with this, and it's exactly what happened.
- 53:34Speaker 1: Well, and that's a very sad reality because if you
- 53:36Speaker 1: don't believe the administration has the support they've directed this
- 53:40Speaker 1: new curf or they've they've instituted this new curfew without
- 53:43Speaker 1: loud statements of the effect that it's going to be enforced.
- 53:46Speaker 1: But if they don't stand up for the officers doing
- 53:48Speaker 1: exactly what they promised the residents of the city they
- 53:50Speaker 1: were going to do, I imagine that transcends just curfew enforcement.
- 53:54Speaker 1: That's just well, not supporting you in your efforts to
- 53:57Speaker 1: enforce the laws on the books generally, isn't it.
- 54:00Speaker 3: Well, sure, absolutely, you know. And the perfect example of
- 54:04Speaker 3: a tangible way of showing the support that they've gotten
- 54:07Speaker 3: from the city administration. We just graduated fifty four recruits
- 54:11Speaker 3: this past week.
- 54:12Speaker 1: Congratulations to them. That's good.
- 54:14Speaker 3: We had had three council members three out of the
- 54:16Speaker 3: nine that showed up. Oh, the mayor didn't show up.
- 54:19Speaker 3: We had a city manager who swore swore the recruits
- 54:22Speaker 3: in and then immediately left during the middle of ceremony.
- 54:27Speaker 3: And that was the biggest question I had from officers
- 54:29Speaker 3: active officers that were there supporting these young folks that
- 54:32Speaker 3: just graduated, and they're like, what was that. Oh, well,
- 54:36Speaker 3: that's that's the unfortunate reality of what we're dealing with. That.
- 54:41Speaker 1: I'm sorry man, that I almost don't know how to
- 54:44Speaker 1: react to that. I mean, a freebie press conference that
- 54:50Speaker 1: will make the City of Cincinnati's representatives look like decent
- 54:53Speaker 1: people and only three show up and they don't even
- 54:54Speaker 1: hang out. I'm appalled at that. In the absence of
- 54:57Speaker 1: the mayor, that's like an ongoing problem. He doesn't show
- 54:59Speaker 1: up the en anything unless it involves a ribbon in
- 55:01Speaker 1: some pet project of his. Ken.
- 55:05Speaker 3: Yeah, like I said, it's unfortunate, but you know, we
- 55:07Speaker 3: had Seth Walls, Smart, Jefferies, and Scottie Johnson all showed up,
- 55:11Speaker 3: which we're not surprises because all three of them have
- 55:14Speaker 3: been been staunch supporters of law enforcement, and we certainly
- 55:17Speaker 3: appreciate that they showed up, but it was sad to
- 55:20Speaker 3: see only three of nine council members actually show up
- 55:23Speaker 3: to something like this. And do you want to know
- 55:25Speaker 3: why cops aren't going out and enforcing curfew, Here's exactly why.
- 55:30Speaker 1: There's your answer right there, Ken Cober on a pause
- 55:32Speaker 1: on bringing back a couple more questions on that, but
- 55:34Speaker 1: I also want to ask you about this signature effort
- 55:37Speaker 1: to repeal the THHC laws. It's kind of generic questions
- 55:40Speaker 1: about the legalization of weed and whether or not has
- 55:43Speaker 1: had any impact on law enforcement. We'll talk with Ken
- 55:47Speaker 1: Kober a little bit more coming to dog Station at
- 55:51Speaker 1: six thirty nine fifty five KR City Talk Station. Brian
- 55:54Speaker 1: Thomas with FOP President Ken Kober talking about the curfew.
- 55:58Speaker 1: We find out that the curfew centers really aren't being
- 56:00Speaker 1: used or underutilized. Four children actually were taken to one
- 56:05Speaker 1: of the curfew centers since the city allocated three hundred
- 56:07Speaker 1: and eighty thousand dollars to keep them open. Innern Police
- 56:11Speaker 1: Chief Henny and the I guess assistant city council manager
- 56:16Speaker 1: somebody anyway revealed that four a total of four kids
- 56:19Speaker 1: were taken. Doing the math on that, it doesn't really
- 56:22Speaker 1: work out that well. Scottie Johnson, who was a former
- 56:24Speaker 1: police chief or a police officer rather, he shares the
- 56:26Speaker 1: he's on the Public Safety and Government Committee, I can
- 56:29Speaker 1: said the curfew centers are necessary expense if you want
- 56:33Speaker 1: a strong curfew. He said, you want young people off
- 56:35Speaker 1: the streets at certain hours. Yeah, you do, because it's
- 56:38Speaker 1: safety measure. But you want to make sure also that
- 56:40Speaker 1: you have the resources available to accommodate young people when
- 56:43Speaker 1: you want them off the city streets. That's logical, but
- 56:46Speaker 1: if you're not enforcing the curfew at all, it becomes
- 56:48Speaker 1: a pointless gesture to throw money at it. Now. Henny,
- 56:51Speaker 1: for his part, claims that the centers are worthwhile and
- 56:54Speaker 1: we'll factor into the city's plan for addressing crime in
- 56:57Speaker 1: the summer. Right, Okay, we do have an uptick in
- 56:59Speaker 1: juvenile crime in the summer, said, it may not have
- 57:01Speaker 1: been utilized as much as people thought. I just think
- 57:04Speaker 1: the understanding that we're taking curfew seriously as a city
- 57:09Speaker 1: and as our neighborhoods. I think that really changed the
- 57:11Speaker 1: direction that our young people were going at. Not quite
- 57:14Speaker 1: sure what that means, but is it more perception than reality.
- 57:17Speaker 1: By saying you have a curfew and that it's going
- 57:19Speaker 1: to be enforced, that's all just the message goes out, Look,
- 57:22Speaker 1: we have a place to take them. But to your point, Ken,
- 57:25Speaker 1: they're not being enforced out loud question, I guess. First off,
- 57:30Speaker 1: has interim police Chief Henny ever said out loud, this
- 57:34Speaker 1: is a lesser priority for officers. Don't bother, don't enforce them. Yeah,
- 57:38Speaker 1: it's on the books, but we really don't want to
- 57:40Speaker 1: interact with young people for all the reasons you said
- 57:41Speaker 1: in the last statement. Or has he left it up
- 57:44Speaker 1: to the officers to make their own individual determination of
- 57:47Speaker 1: whether they want to actually enforce the curfew.
- 57:50Speaker 3: No, he's left it the officers to decide, you know,
- 57:52Speaker 3: what they thought's best in that moment. You know, he's
- 57:55Speaker 3: certainly somebody that you know, he was the commander of
- 57:58Speaker 3: the Central Business Section, so he saw how troubling youth
- 58:03Speaker 3: can be, certainly in the downtown area. But yeah, he's
- 58:07Speaker 3: not one to come out and just say, look, you
- 58:09Speaker 3: will do this or you won't do this. He's gonna say, look,
- 58:11Speaker 3: you are cops, you're being paid to do this job.
- 58:14Speaker 3: Use your best judgment and we'll live with that. And
- 58:18Speaker 3: that was one of the things that I did think
- 58:20Speaker 3: it was interesting that you just said, is that these
- 58:22Speaker 3: are the things we're gonna do going forward. He could
- 58:24Speaker 3: go to city council or go to the city manager
- 58:26Speaker 3: and say, look, this isn't working. I don't think it's
- 58:28Speaker 3: a good idea. And they're gonna do whatever they want
- 58:31Speaker 3: to do anyway. I mean, they might take his advice,
- 58:33Speaker 3: they might not, but ultimately he's just doing what he
- 58:38Speaker 3: has to deal with. And I certainly applaud him for
- 58:41Speaker 3: trying to make some of these things work when maybe
- 58:45Speaker 3: or maybe not he thinks that these are good ideas,
- 58:47Speaker 3: but it's what he's being told to do, so I get.
- 58:50Speaker 1: It all right. To the broader question, I can understand
- 58:55Speaker 1: why an officer wouldn't bother going through the exercise of
- 58:57Speaker 1: picking up one of these young people that said. Do
- 59:00Speaker 1: officers regularly encounter curfew violators? Is this an ongoing issue?
- 59:05Speaker 1: I know it's winter time, maybe fewer people out, but
- 59:09Speaker 1: since it's been enacted this curfew, have there been a
- 59:11Speaker 1: lot of you know, officers engaging with young people. I
- 59:13Speaker 1: understand not taking them to the drop off centers, but
- 59:17Speaker 1: is this happening still? Are there violators out there that
- 59:19Speaker 1: you see all the time or is this just sort
- 59:21Speaker 1: of a random thing. There's really not that many.
- 59:23Speaker 3: Well, certainly in the wintertime it's become less. But after
- 59:27Speaker 3: they announced that this curfew was going to take place,
- 59:29Speaker 3: I was asking officers daily, especially third shift officers, downtown,
- 59:34Speaker 3: and they said the same thing. It's like, listen, as
- 59:36Speaker 3: soon as we saw a group of kids that were
- 59:38Speaker 3: out twelve thirty one o'clock in the morning, they immediately scattered.
- 59:42Speaker 3: So I do think in some respects it is at
- 59:46Speaker 3: least paying dividends that there's at least the fear that
- 59:50Speaker 3: they may be taking in these curfew centers. So in
- 59:53Speaker 3: that respect, it's working. But you know, obviously, you know
- 59:57Speaker 3: the tangible result of this of saying, hey, there's only
- 1:00:01Speaker 3: been four Obviously that certainly is concerning.
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: It is And I guess the broad up question in
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: terms of enforcement as a police officer, and I know
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: you might have some suspicion that someone's under the age
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: of eighteen, But how can you tell when looking across
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: a city block or something that any given kid might
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: be a curfew violator or not You have to actually
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: stop them and card them or something or inquire about
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: their age.
- 1:00:26Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean you can typically tell. I mean,
- 1:00:30Speaker 3: it's hard to tell between being seventeen or eighteen. Yeah,
- 1:00:33Speaker 3: But I mean there are kids out here that are
- 1:00:35Speaker 3: running around they are twelve and thirteen years old that
- 1:00:37Speaker 3: are obvious that you're based off of being only five
- 1:00:41Speaker 3: foot tall, that they are likely not eighteen years old.
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: Right.
- 1:00:45Speaker 3: And the interesting part about this is we talk about curfews.
- 1:00:47Speaker 3: Is I'm currently in Washington, DC, and I went after
- 1:00:52Speaker 3: we get to some meetings with a congressman yesterday and
- 1:00:56Speaker 3: go over to a Union station which is a right
- 1:01:00Speaker 3: by Capitol Hill, and we go out there and there
- 1:01:03Speaker 3: are juveniles everywhere just running amok. And what's there the
- 1:01:07Speaker 3: National Guard, DC Metro Police. So this is not an
- 1:01:11Speaker 3: issue that is unique to Cincinnati. This is happening in
- 1:01:14Speaker 3: every major city across the country, dealing with juveniles that
- 1:01:19Speaker 3: are just out of control.
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: Out of control. And of course, the idea it's so
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: I mean, as we've seen in Minneapolis with the protesters
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: against ice, it's so easy to coordinate activities and for
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: young people to communicate, Hey, we're going to meet down
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: at Government Square. Show up at ten o'clock, bring your
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: motorcycle or whatever. And then of course the cops are
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: coming and they easily disperse. So communication alone is I'm
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: sure compounded of the problem. Plus I think there's just
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: a general deterioration of morals and ethics in this country.
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: But real quick, here in Ohio, they passed SB fifty six,
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: which curbed and limited and I guess criminalized on some level,
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: repealing some of the just freedom that people have voted
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: for in terms of legalization of marijuana. Rather than focus
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: on this repeal effort of Senate Bill fifty six, I
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: just want to ask you, since marijuana has been legalized
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: in a rather recreationally in the state of Ohio, has
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: that impacted law enforcement? Have you noticed a significant change
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: in the amount of weed you encounter see has it
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: caused an upticking crime? From your perspective, can you trace
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: any changes in you know, criminal activity or what's going
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: on in the city to the legalization of marijuana ken.
- 1:02:28Speaker 3: Now, I think the only thing, the only real impact
- 1:02:31Speaker 3: it's had is the revalence of it in public. To
- 1:02:35Speaker 3: smell it, It's like it seems like everywhere you go,
- 1:02:38Speaker 3: that's all you smell. But you know, the reality is,
- 1:02:41Speaker 3: this is what the voters in Ohio voted for, so
- 1:02:45Speaker 3: that's what they get. But as far as like crime
- 1:02:48Speaker 3: and things like that, I don't think it's really had
- 1:02:50Speaker 3: much of an impact. You know, a day to day business.
- 1:02:53Speaker 3: You know, it's something that for years kind of has
- 1:02:56Speaker 3: been hands off anyway, because you look at it. I
- 1:02:59Speaker 3: mean you, it's funny how far we've gone from you know,
- 1:03:03Speaker 3: the early two thousands when city council passed an ordinance
- 1:03:06Speaker 3: to make or since the AYNUS Will Code to make
- 1:03:09Speaker 3: possession of marijuana and m four and we were taking
- 1:03:13Speaker 3: people to jail for having a joint. And then now
- 1:03:18Speaker 3: we're going, nope, you know what, it's completely decriminalized. We're
- 1:03:21Speaker 3: not doing this. And then city council goes and says,
- 1:03:24Speaker 3: you know what, We're going to make sure that we
- 1:03:26Speaker 3: can expunge anyone record who wants to have it expunged
- 1:03:31Speaker 3: for possession of marijuana. So it's just it's funny to
- 1:03:33Speaker 3: see in the matter of twenty years how much things
- 1:03:35Speaker 3: have changed.
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: It really is. And finally, obviously, illegal immigration and ICE
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: activities all the topic of conversation, at least dominating the
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: topic of conversation. I rarely read about the City of
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: Cincinnatian so far as illegal immigrants. I know the parvol
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: administration has declared City of Sincinnia sanctuary city. Does that
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: mean that you and the members of the since A
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: police department are not working with ice or otherwise letting
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: Ice know when you're getting ready to let somebody out
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: of lock up or maybe you know about the way
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: that the Sheriff's office is doing that. I'm just curious
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: to know that component real quick, yes or no? But
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: also do you encounter the quote unquote illegal immigrants very
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: often in doing law enforcement?
- 1:04:10Speaker 4: Is it?
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: Is it an issue here in the city?
- 1:04:13Speaker 3: Well, I could tell you we see it all the time,
- 1:04:16Speaker 3: where there's somebody here that are they Are they here
- 1:04:19Speaker 3: illegally or illegally conor hard to say? You know when
- 1:04:22Speaker 3: they don't have an ID? You know they don't they
- 1:04:24Speaker 3: did they give you a name and say this is
- 1:04:26Speaker 3: who I am, and they're not in a computer. But
- 1:04:29Speaker 3: that's not the function of the SINCINNT Police Department. Yeah,
- 1:04:32Speaker 3: and I think it's important for people to understand too.
- 1:04:34Speaker 3: In one of the meetings that I had yesterday with
- 1:04:36Speaker 3: Senator Moreno, and he made it clear he's like, I
- 1:04:39Speaker 3: can only control what goes on in Ohio, being a
- 1:04:42Speaker 3: senator from Ohio. He goes, However, if ICE is going
- 1:04:45Speaker 3: to come and do some kind of targeted operation, he goes,
- 1:04:49Speaker 3: I fully expect that they're going to reach out to
- 1:04:51Speaker 3: whatever jurisdiction that they're in and let them know, hey,
- 1:04:55Speaker 3: this is what's going on. What we're going to do
- 1:04:56Speaker 3: that well, there's no surprises, and I can tell you
- 1:04:58Speaker 3: as of now, they're have been none of these targeted operations,
- 1:05:02Speaker 3: certainly in the city of Cincinnati. I know Columbus has
- 1:05:05Speaker 3: had some things going on, but Senator mirandaas listen, we
- 1:05:09Speaker 3: want full transparency. We want people to know, especially law
- 1:05:12Speaker 3: enforcement agencies, to know, hey, this is what's going on
- 1:05:15Speaker 3: exactly that way. You know, we don't have you know,
- 1:05:18Speaker 3: a local jurisdiction going what the heck are these people
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: doing here? You know? And that just common sense. Is
- 1:05:24Speaker 3: when I was in the Fugitive Union, if we were
- 1:05:26Speaker 3: going to go serve a warrant in another jurisdiction, we
- 1:05:28Speaker 3: would contact them and say, hey, we're looking for somebody
- 1:05:30Speaker 3: that's wanted for murder. You know, we're in your jurisdiction.
- 1:05:34Speaker 3: Just understand this is what we're here doing. That way,
- 1:05:36Speaker 3: if you see some tops running around that aren't in uniform,
- 1:05:39Speaker 3: you're not going the hecker these people and what are
- 1:05:41Speaker 3: they doing. I think that's as common sense approach.
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: It is a total common sense approach. So good. I'm
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: glad to hear that communications in place and can cover.
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: I can't thank you know for coming to the show
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: and updating my listeners on this and trying to make
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: some sense out of all of it. FOP President Ken Cober,
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: you have a welcome spot of the fifty five Caresey
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: Morning Show. And as I always ended the segment, God
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: bless you all the members of this sin say low
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: enforcement and law enforcement generally speaking my listening audience, and
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: I definitely have your guys backs. Kersee the talk station.
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: It is six fifty three coming up a six fifty
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: four to fifty five Karsite talk stations The Big Picture
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: with Jack Avin and he's waiting in the wings in
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: part his wisdom, knowledge, logic and reason. Coming up on
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: off top of the our news, we're gonna hear from donovan'
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: neeil about what this one small step campaign is and
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: this will be a great opportunity for you to help
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: out spread the word. American history is part of it.
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: It's a knowledge campaign basically, I guess, filling in the
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: holes left by our sad pathetic education system, atleast in
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: so far as civics and understanding of the Constitution. Speaking
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: of the constitution, question, does the US still have a
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: Constitution Jude Jenenal Paul two at eight thirty on that subject,
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: knowing the judge, I think you're gonna shade no. And
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: you know a lot of people reacting Trump wants to
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: take over the federal takeover elections, and no, you can't
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: do that. Even Republicans are pointing out he's on records saying,
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: you know, we need federal government in there to count
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: the ballots. This, of course springing from this raid at
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: Fulton County, Georgia on the Shenanigans went on in twenty twenty.
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: Of course, there are other areas where they keep claiming
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: and he keeps claiming that the election was stolen or
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: otherwise fraudulent. I get that some of the evidences creeping
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: out it does look rather troubling. But this is a
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: state controlled function. That's what the Constitution says. And when
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: he was talking about having the federal agents come in
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: to do the ballot counting, does that sound like it's
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: going to solve the concern we have for the integrity
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: of the vote. I mean, if you put the Biden
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: administration and the Eric Holder Justice Department in charge of that,
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: would you have comfort in that? Or I mean the
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: Obama administration or the Biden administration's dojor FBI or whatever
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: law enforcement entity or government employees are going to be
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: doing the counting. Would you feel differently about that conceptually?
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: I mean, I get just hang my hat on the constitution.
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: You don't have the power to do that. But this
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: becomes a question of whose ox is being Gordon, And
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: if you got some hardcore left as president in there,
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: I doubt a whole lot of people would want that
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: person's federal employees in our respective states counting our ballots.
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: Maybe get a word or two from the judge on
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: that one, though. I think I'm pretty firm ground constitutionally speaking,
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: and a lot of Republicans are with me on the
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: concept being well unconstitutional. Six fifty six. It's seven to
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: five here fifty five kr CD talk station, Happy Wednesday.
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: Everybody's invited in listener lunch at Ron's Roos over the
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: West Side. Even Jack Addan, although I don't know he's
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: going to be there. Welcome Jack Adan. I always enjoy
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: our conversations a You're beautiful wisdom and insight. It's time
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: for the big picture with Jack Addan. Good to hear
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: from you, my friend, as always.
- 1:08:44Speaker 11: Oh, it's great to hear from you. I can't go
- 1:08:46Speaker 11: because Amesley and I tutor on Wednesdays, but thanks for
- 1:08:49Speaker 11: the invitation. Good for you.
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: Can I ask where you tutor, Jack?
- 1:08:53Speaker 11: Yeah, we're over at Miller Ridge up here in Middletown.
- 1:08:57Speaker 11: It's an elementary school. What we do our church.
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: Oh, that's awesome. I mean I I respond that way to.
- 1:09:04Speaker 11: Work nights for so many years. I was able to
- 1:09:06Speaker 11: tutor for many years in the Cincinnati public schools. I
- 1:09:09Speaker 11: just love it. The kids are amazing, and you have
- 1:09:13Speaker 11: faith in the future when you're with them.
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: Well and you teaching them. My reaction is because what
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: a blessing it will be to have you in the
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: front of the classroom, Jack, because you are brilliant. You understand,
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: You're great at a discussion and conversation, and I'm sure
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: you probably use a little bit of the Socratic method
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: when you're teaching, which I really appreciate that teaching methodology.
- 1:09:33Speaker 11: I do better in the front of the classroom than
- 1:09:35Speaker 11: I did when I was a kid sitting in the
- 1:09:37Speaker 11: Classroomliever is a problem child, I believe. Anyway, let me
- 1:09:40Speaker 11: tell you about something that's maybe a problem, but I'll
- 1:09:43Speaker 11: tell you has been a blessing to see every week.
- 1:09:46Speaker 11: I tried digging up something the audience might not know,
- 1:09:49Speaker 11: but this time it seems I'm the only person in
- 1:09:51Speaker 11: the country who did not know how much Tailor Sheridan
- 1:09:56Speaker 11: has changed not only television but maybe America's future for
- 1:10:01Speaker 11: the better. Only now I'm worried about whether he still
- 1:10:04Speaker 11: wants to Amesdy and I don't watch much TV beyond news,
- 1:10:08Speaker 11: sports and reruns of The Big Bang Theory and of
- 1:10:11Speaker 11: course Seinfeld. But a couple of weeks ago, a friend
- 1:10:13Speaker 11: colored me and said, like Jerry's friend Banya, you gotta
- 1:10:17Speaker 11: watch this show. It's the best, Jack the best. He
- 1:10:21Speaker 11: was talking about Landman. Have you seen this Brian Landman?
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: No, I have not.
- 1:10:28Speaker 11: Well you may want to after we talk. Now, we
- 1:10:31Speaker 11: signed up for a free trial subscription to Paramount Plus
- 1:10:35Speaker 11: and Binge watched all twenty episodes they've released so far.
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: Is this the Billy Bob Thornton thing? That's exactly my
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: mom has been talking about that for she kep you
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: gotta watch you gotta watch it. I don't have that service.
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: I'm not going to sign it too.
- 1:10:48Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, watch it. Well, my wife and I actually
- 1:10:51Speaker 11: saw only about half the episodes. The rest of the
- 1:10:53Speaker 11: time we kept swiveling our heads looking at each other
- 1:10:58Speaker 11: because we could not believe see and hear this much
- 1:11:01Speaker 11: truth even on cable TV. Billy Bob Thornton, the land
- 1:11:06Speaker 11: Man of the title showing why oil, Yes, I said
- 1:11:10Speaker 11: that dirty word oil and guess they're absolutely essential to
- 1:11:15Speaker 11: the world's well being. And why of the people who
- 1:11:18Speaker 11: risk their lives bringing it to us ought to be
- 1:11:20Speaker 11: American heroes, heroes with feet of clay. Yes, it's true,
- 1:11:25Speaker 11: heroes who would be considered over sext even by Hugh Hefner,
- 1:11:29Speaker 11: heroes who drop more f bombs than Democrats struggling to
- 1:11:33Speaker 11: sound tough. F and Trump is Hitler anyway. Incredible acting, direction,
- 1:11:39Speaker 11: and most of all, incredible writing by Landman's creator Taylor Sheridan.
- 1:11:46Speaker 11: Most of you already knew him from Yellowstone and its prequels.
- 1:11:50Speaker 11: We only just discovered him and then found that in
- 1:11:53Speaker 11: another series that we have to finish. Lioness Taylor Shereton
- 1:11:57Speaker 11: shows that our mortal enemy, Communists is the evil empire
- 1:12:02Speaker 11: running the Mexican drug cartels, which is to say, running
- 1:12:06Speaker 11: that entire country because Mexico, like Maduro's Venezuela turned into
- 1:12:11Speaker 11: nothing but a drug cartel and even worse for America,
- 1:12:15Speaker 11: a launchpad for tens of millions of undocumented invaders. Again,
- 1:12:21Speaker 11: Amesley and I couldn't believe what we were seeing. Think
- 1:12:24Speaker 11: of it, Brian Jijan pinks, China, with its nearly one
- 1:12:28Speaker 11: and a half billion people, is one of the biggest
- 1:12:31Speaker 11: media markets on Earth. For years, Disney and other media
- 1:12:35Speaker 11: conglomerates have been bowing down to Beijing. Just one example,
- 1:12:40Speaker 11: China pressured Disney into changing Marvel's Doctor Strange so that
- 1:12:45Speaker 11: his mentor would not be a Tibetan Buddhist, because China
- 1:12:49Speaker 11: wants to erase Tibet. This cow tewing to dictators is
- 1:12:54Speaker 11: nothing new for Hollywood in the nineteen thirties, with the
- 1:12:58Speaker 11: exception of Charlie Chaplin, who belittled Adolf Hitler and the
- 1:13:02Speaker 11: Great Dictator, Nazis were pretty much off limits in American
- 1:13:06Speaker 11: films until we got into the war because Germany was
- 1:13:10Speaker 11: a huge market for Hollywood. By the way, By the way, Brian,
- 1:13:14Speaker 11: can you guess Jafura's favorite film?
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: Oh, don't tell me, it's Charlie Chaplin's Dictator.
- 1:13:25Speaker 11: Hitler's favorite film was King Kong.
- 1:13:28Speaker 5: Oh, that's Reily.
- 1:13:30Speaker 11: Yeah, just I guess he identified with Kin Kok.
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: That literally just popped up Turner Classic Movies. Yesterday was
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: one of the new films they rolled through the screens
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: that you can select from. That's funny timing wise, anyway,
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: go ahead, the.
- 1:13:43Speaker 11: Original is still the best.
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:13:44Speaker 11: More recently, about the only movie producer who stood up
- 1:13:48Speaker 11: to Red China has been No surprise, Tom Cruise. Beijing
- 1:13:53Speaker 11: objected to the Taiwanese flag patch on Maverick's jacket. Red
- 1:13:58Speaker 11: China threatened to ban the film, so Tom and the
- 1:14:01Speaker 11: producer said, Yet, even without China Top Gun, Mavericks earned
- 1:14:07Speaker 11: one point five billion dollars in counting. However, Brian and
- 1:14:12Speaker 11: with me, you know, there's always a however, because we
- 1:14:15Speaker 11: have to keep our eyes open even in good times.
- 1:14:18Speaker 11: I'm worried about Taylor Sheridan's future. He's had a fight
- 1:14:22Speaker 11: with Paramount and signed a one billion dollar contract with
- 1:14:27Speaker 11: the media company. As unlike Paramount as Joe Biden is
- 1:14:31Speaker 11: unlike Donald Trump, Taylor Sheridan will be creating TV series
- 1:14:35Speaker 11: and films for NBC Universal. I can hear the hissing
- 1:14:40Speaker 11: from here now in fairness. Sheridan has always pushed back
- 1:14:44Speaker 11: on claims that he's conservative. The writer says he strives
- 1:14:48Speaker 11: to depict all sides, and he does, but will NBC
- 1:14:52Speaker 11: Universal allow him to include a conservative side? When we
- 1:14:57Speaker 11: debate we win? The only left dists like the ones
- 1:15:01Speaker 11: at NBC, The only way they prevail is when they
- 1:15:04Speaker 11: cover up the truth, the way all the establishment media
- 1:15:08Speaker 11: covered up Russia Gate, Hunter Biden's laptop, the truth about
- 1:15:12Speaker 11: what's going on in Minnesota, Somali fraud, plus the funding
- 1:15:16Speaker 11: of ice protesters. Look at the Grammys, Oh look, well,
- 1:15:19Speaker 11: look at the reports on the Grammys to see how
- 1:15:21Speaker 11: much the truth about Ice gets reported to the average American.
- 1:15:26Speaker 11: Will Taylor Sheridan sell out our specialty here? History is
- 1:15:31Speaker 11: teeming with sellouts, from Alcibiades and ancient Greece, who flipped
- 1:15:36Speaker 11: back and forth between Athens and Persia to Tallyrant, the
- 1:15:40Speaker 11: French statesman who flipped from the Bourbon king who was
- 1:15:43Speaker 11: beheaded to the French revolutionaries, to the Emperor Napoleon, and
- 1:15:47Speaker 11: vitally flipping back to the Bourbons. It's no sin to
- 1:15:51Speaker 11: change your mind. Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump started out
- 1:15:54Speaker 11: as Democrats, but as both of them, explained, each in
- 1:15:58Speaker 11: his own inimitable way, choose Reagan's I did not leave
- 1:16:02Speaker 11: the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party left me, and both
- 1:16:06Speaker 11: Trump and Reagan became Republicans because of the party now
- 1:16:11Speaker 11: a big government, big business socialism. They didn't want to
- 1:16:14Speaker 11: be Democrats anymore. What I would call fascism of the
- 1:16:19Speaker 11: Mussolini stamp. That's what the Democrats are, and that's why
- 1:16:22Speaker 11: multinationals partnering with Red China love them. No Taiwanese flags
- 1:16:27Speaker 11: on their jackets. In closing, let me stress, Brian, we
- 1:16:31Speaker 11: don't know what tailor Sheridan will do. I'm hoping this
- 1:16:34Speaker 11: quite essential cowboy will stick to his guns because a
- 1:16:38Speaker 11: Sheridan has a CIA agent. A lioness declaring in Season one,
- 1:16:44Speaker 11: I love my country. She didn't say I love the
- 1:16:48Speaker 11: country that I want to turn this into a socialist paradise.
- 1:16:51Speaker 11: She said, I love my country.
- 1:16:54Speaker 1: What do you say, partner, Well, I agree, I love
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: my country too, in spite of its warts, and I
- 1:16:59Speaker 1: just know what happens be by comparison, the best place
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: on the planet to live, and we are all uniquely
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: blessed by God for having been born here. But going
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: back to your movie, and I know how much of
- 1:17:09Speaker 1: a movie buff you are, as am I I'm certain
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: that you are painful of we are also of speaking back,
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: you know, like going after Nazis and who the villain
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: is in any given movie. This trend that I've observed
- 1:17:21Speaker 1: over my life. You know, used to have movies with
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: very defined villains, Like there were at one point a
- 1:17:26Speaker 1: lot of villains in movies that were terrorists, right, quite
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: often Middle East fundamental Is terrorists. But that was a
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: legitimate concept. There were terrorists in the world, and Hollywood
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: chose to use them as perhaps the villain in the movie.
- 1:17:38Speaker 1: Some you know, like Specter Organization, which is, you know,
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: whatever they wanted to take over the world. But villains
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: in movies, especially over the past fifteen twenty years now,
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: all seem to be corporate executives or corrupt law enforcement officers.
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: It's all something you know, within the system we have here,
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: and they choose rather than focus on some evil outside
- 1:17:59Speaker 1: force legitimates it may be they always make up villains
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: who happen to be well part of the capitalist empire.
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: If I could put it so loosely, I mean, you've
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: seen that trend, or do you think that I'm way
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: off on that.
- 1:18:11Speaker 11: Oh no, I think you're absolutely right, although you know,
- 1:18:14Speaker 11: a lot of the biggest supporters of the Democrats now
- 1:18:16Speaker 11: are the multinational generations that want to be able to
- 1:18:19Speaker 11: do business with places like China. But I also see
- 1:18:22Speaker 11: is that you know again what Landman shows us, the
- 1:18:25Speaker 11: vital part oil plays in our lives and where it
- 1:18:28Speaker 11: comes from, that's largely ignored by most other television. The
- 1:18:32Speaker 11: most glaring example today of what television news does not
- 1:18:37Speaker 11: show us what it ignores on TV and the biggest
- 1:18:41Speaker 11: problem with TV news is not what it shows us,
- 1:18:43Speaker 11: it's what it ignores. The most glaring example is what's
- 1:18:46Speaker 11: going on right now in Iran. Whatever you think of
- 1:18:48Speaker 11: US involvement, the Mullas have cut off electricity, cut off
- 1:18:53Speaker 11: the internet, cut off social media in Iran, knowing that
- 1:18:57Speaker 11: American television, even the Fox News channel, will largely ignore
- 1:19:02Speaker 11: a blacked out Iran and instead lead each of its
- 1:19:06Speaker 11: news programs every hour of every day, every week with
- 1:19:10Speaker 11: a place that does provide plenty of violent, noisy video Minneapolis.
- 1:19:15Speaker 11: Minneapolis is important, but other places other stories are important too,
- 1:19:21Speaker 11: including stories that are harder to tell. Affordability, health, insurance education.
- 1:19:26Speaker 11: All the polls show that's what voters in November are
- 1:19:29Speaker 11: really going to care about. This is a battle I
- 1:19:31Speaker 11: thought every day in local newsrooms. We cannot be prisoners,
- 1:19:35Speaker 11: Brian of If it bleeds, it leads in local, much
- 1:19:39Speaker 11: less national news. We cannot wait for Taylor Sheridan to
- 1:19:43Speaker 11: tell these stories.
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: Well, if at least Taylor Sheridan's currently telling them. As
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: you explain it, You're right, though, I just struggle to
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: find a conservative message literally anywhere. So I think obviously
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: that's why you're highlighting it. Oh look, if you look there,
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: it is right there for auto Behold. But isn't it strange,
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: Jack Addan, in this America that you and I have
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: grown up in, that you're raising this as a point
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: that this is even a thing. You've got a point
- 1:20:11Speaker 1: to Landman, to show that, yes, there's a lone conservative, normal,
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: proper logical thinking program out there that is in fact
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: pointing out the benefits of oil. I just I just
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: am so troubled by that, Jack, that we have moved
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: that far that you can't even expect to get some
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: message like that. Look one show.
- 1:20:32Speaker 11: You and I are we're free marketeers. The way to change.
- 1:20:36Speaker 11: This is through the market. Hollywood noticed when Tom Cruise
- 1:20:41Speaker 11: earned one and a half billion dollars with The Maverick,
- 1:20:45Speaker 11: we started to see some movies that were more like that.
- 1:20:47Speaker 11: People are going to be following Taylor Sheridan too. We
- 1:20:50Speaker 11: have to make sure we watch the things that affirm
- 1:20:53Speaker 11: our values and ignore the things. And this is very
- 1:20:56Speaker 11: hard to do in society, and especially very hard for
- 1:20:59Speaker 11: our children and grandchildren to do. We have to ignore
- 1:21:02Speaker 11: the things that tear down this country.
- 1:21:05Speaker 1: Yeah, there was yet the Passion of the Christ, wasn't
- 1:21:10Speaker 1: it back in early two thousands when Mel Gibson produced
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: that and it was a religious movie, it was a
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: Christian movie, and it made like gazillions of dollars. There
- 1:21:20Speaker 1: was a time in Hollywood when they supported the Christian message.
- 1:21:23Speaker 1: I mean they churned out one movie after another that
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: had an underlying Christian theme to it. Why because the
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: American people loved going to movies with that message. And
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: when he released this thing on his own I guess,
- 1:21:34Speaker 1: funded by himself with his own budget, certainly wasn't a
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: Hollywood back concept. People broke down the doors to go
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: see it, and he made millions and millions of dollars,
- 1:21:41Speaker 1: I mean red Flag. Hey, Hollywood, you want to make money,
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: why not provide a movie like this that the people
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: obviously are clamoring for. I don't know if they got
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: that message there, Jack.
- 1:21:54Speaker 11: I see a lot of religious movies now, certainly many
- 1:21:56Speaker 11: more than I did before. In the Passion of the Christ,
- 1:21:59Speaker 11: most around the Easter, but still and all kinds of
- 1:22:02Speaker 11: other movies that include religion at least in the background,
- 1:22:06Speaker 11: really in the foreground when you watch them. I'm thinking now,
- 1:22:08Speaker 11: because the Super Bowl is coming up, about the Kurt
- 1:22:11Speaker 11: Warner movie. I forget the title, but you know his
- 1:22:15Speaker 11: religion was at the very heart of his being able
- 1:22:18Speaker 11: to turn around his football career. Those movies are out there,
- 1:22:21Speaker 11: and they make a lot of money.
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: Okay, well more than I would know of, because I'll
- 1:22:25Speaker 1: be the first person who admit my general broad ignorance
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: regarding recent films because I can't remember the last time
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: I've been to a movie theater. Wait for it to
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: show up on cable. Jack Avinan always wonderful, appreciate the
- 1:22:37Speaker 1: note of optimism built into there. Let's hope things keep
- 1:22:39Speaker 1: moving more in that direction. Because, of course, these clear
- 1:22:43Speaker 1: thinking messages need to get out. And that's one of
- 1:22:45Speaker 1: the reasons why I love you being on my show.
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: Clear thinking messages, great observations. Jack. We'll do this again
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: next Wednesday, Another Big Picture. Every Wednesday at seven oh
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: five find the podcast at fifty five cares dot com
- 1:22:56Speaker 1: and be sure and share it with your friends. Best
- 1:22:58Speaker 1: of health and the talk station seven eight fifty five
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: KRC the talk station no very Happy Wednesday. To another
- 1:23:07Speaker 1: reminder listener, lunch Today, Ron's Bruce on the West Side
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: without further ado. Every Wednesday at this time we get
- 1:23:12Speaker 1: to hear from Americans for Prosperity, Donovan and Nel. Welcome back. Donovan.
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: Always a pleasure to have you on the show.
- 1:23:18Speaker 6: Brian, always great to be with you.
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: I know you are a limited government nonprofit organization AFP,
- 1:23:24Speaker 1: all along the lines of what I believe in, fiscal responsibility,
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: limited government, free markets. Sadly, the message is not getting
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: out a whole lot and on the heels of Jack
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: oither than talking about Landman presenting a message we hardly
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: ever see here a more conservative message, a more logical
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: reasonable message. One of the things that we're lacking, I think,
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: is a civics education. Apparently, public schools don't teach about
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: civics anymore. They don't teach about constitutional structure, the freedoms
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: that we enjoy relative to everybody else. So you're launching
- 1:23:51Speaker 1: a one small step campaign in order to get people
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: involved and start spreading the American message, at least as
- 1:23:57Speaker 1: I understand the program. Tell my listeners all about this campaign.
- 1:24:02Speaker 6: Yeah, well, actually this campaign started about a year ago,
- 1:24:04Speaker 6: in the run up to the important year that is
- 1:24:07Speaker 6: America's two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, which Brian, for your
- 1:24:11Speaker 6: listeners who haven't been paying attention or got a public
- 1:24:13Speaker 6: school history education, civics education, that's a joke to this
- 1:24:18Speaker 6: is America's two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. And you know,
- 1:24:20Speaker 6: at Americans for Prosperity, our foundational principles that guide the
- 1:24:25Speaker 6: work that we do on the politics, we engage in,
- 1:24:28Speaker 6: the policy, we engage, in the community outreach, we engage
- 1:24:30Speaker 6: in all of our work. Our foundational principles are drawn
- 1:24:35Speaker 6: from the Founding Fathers, inspired by the Founding Fathers in
- 1:24:38Speaker 6: those documents, the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Bill
- 1:24:41Speaker 6: of Rights, and so it's a big year for us.
- 1:24:44Speaker 6: It's a big year for America. It's a big year
- 1:24:46Speaker 6: for us, and we're, like you're saying, using it as
- 1:24:48Speaker 6: an opportunity to reignite the American dream, to engage folks
- 1:24:52Speaker 6: in their communities around one small step, one small step
- 1:24:55Speaker 6: to make a change in their community, in their country
- 1:24:59Speaker 6: and sort of ground us back to those founding principles
- 1:25:01Speaker 6: that unite us as Americans.
- 1:25:03Speaker 1: Well, one small steps seem to suggest the kind of
- 1:25:05Speaker 1: a theme that you and I have been talking about
- 1:25:06Speaker 1: for a while, opportunity, and AFP provides this for everyone
- 1:25:11Speaker 1: to do just something right, a little step, engage a
- 1:25:14Speaker 1: little bit, Every little bit counts. If you get everybody
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: out there who is you know, the same political philosophy
- 1:25:19Speaker 1: as you and I are in the Americans for prosperity,
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: as of all those people gathered together, a whole lot
- 1:25:25Speaker 1: of good could come from it. And the good that
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: would come from this is people would be presented with
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: the alternative and explain logic reason behind what AFP does
- 1:25:34Speaker 1: compared to this overwhelming far left democratic party that we face.
- 1:25:38Speaker 3: Now.
- 1:25:39Speaker 1: It's important to.
- 1:25:39Speaker 6: Engage well, absolutely, and so each month of this year,
- 1:25:44Speaker 6: that's part of what we're going to do right is
- 1:25:46Speaker 6: draw on these these various concepts and ideas. Last month
- 1:25:50Speaker 6: it was all about the founding documents, and folks had
- 1:25:55Speaker 6: the opportunity we challenge folks sign sign the Declaration of Independence,
- 1:26:00Speaker 6: join us in that right. This month it's the pursuit
- 1:26:03Speaker 6: of happiness. It's about talking about what it is that
- 1:26:06Speaker 6: you know you can do that with freedom and liberty,
- 1:26:09Speaker 6: people are able to do right, and people are able
- 1:26:11Speaker 6: to do some pretty amazing things, as we know, when
- 1:26:14Speaker 6: they're given that opportunity. Government gets out of the way.
- 1:26:16Speaker 6: Entrepreneurship and innovation lead the way, but in a lot
- 1:26:20Speaker 6: of ways right as a grassroots organization, it also comes
- 1:26:22Speaker 6: back to what are you going to do to make
- 1:26:24Speaker 6: a difference on you know, in the public policy arena.
- 1:26:28Speaker 6: Are you going to go to the school board meeting,
- 1:26:30Speaker 6: city council meeting? Are you going to join AFP for
- 1:26:33Speaker 6: a trip to the state house or your congressman's office
- 1:26:35Speaker 6: to talk about lowering taxes and regulations. This two hundred
- 1:26:40Speaker 6: and fiftieth anniversary gives us that opportunity, sort of a
- 1:26:43Speaker 6: really good staging to challenge folks to get up off
- 1:26:47Speaker 6: the couch, get in their cars, even in the cold weather,
- 1:26:50Speaker 6: and join us to make a difference.
- 1:26:53Speaker 1: Well, I always kind of find it interesting that we
- 1:26:55Speaker 1: are such a terrible country, and we're such a racist
- 1:26:57Speaker 1: and inherently corrupt society. Why is it that seemingly every man,
- 1:27:01Speaker 1: woman and child from the four corners of the entire
- 1:27:03Speaker 1: globe want to come here? You know, going back to
- 1:27:06Speaker 1: your freedom and liberty point, we would rather have freedom
- 1:27:09Speaker 1: and liberty and be unmolested by government forces than live
- 1:27:12Speaker 1: in some oppressive country. I mean, Lord almighty, how this
- 1:27:15Speaker 1: doesn't register with more people is beyond me. But what
- 1:27:17Speaker 1: are these digital toolkits which AFP has that every American
- 1:27:21Speaker 1: can use to help celebrate these founding principles? I understand
- 1:27:24Speaker 1: that there are these out there.
- 1:27:28Speaker 6: Yeah, well, you can go to a two fifty toolkit
- 1:27:30Speaker 6: dot com, so it's like America fifty toolkit dot com,
- 1:27:33Speaker 6: a too fifty toolkit dot com. You can go out there,
- 1:27:35Speaker 6: and each month we're going to be adding new resources,
- 1:27:38Speaker 6: ways for folks to get engaged. So, you know, especially
- 1:27:41Speaker 6: for like your homeschool families or the folks you know,
- 1:27:44Speaker 6: your listeners who love a good six education or can't
- 1:27:47Speaker 6: consume enough of that information. We're engaging and bringing some
- 1:27:51Speaker 6: of that information forward opportunities to hear from and learn
- 1:27:54Speaker 6: about Americans who helped, who took one small step, not
- 1:27:58Speaker 6: unlike Neil Armstrong with the Wright brothers, or Clara Barton
- 1:28:02Speaker 6: or Martin Luther King, among many others, and kind of
- 1:28:06Speaker 6: ground ourselves again in these iconic Americans who made a
- 1:28:10Speaker 6: difference in their communities that are not unlike us. The
- 1:28:13Speaker 6: only difference is is they took that step. Right, if
- 1:28:15Speaker 6: there's a difference there, they took that step. But so
- 1:28:18Speaker 6: the opportunity to do that. But we're also doing a
- 1:28:20Speaker 6: lot of events we're going to use this. We haven't
- 1:28:24Speaker 6: done these sort of major marquee events in over a
- 1:28:27Speaker 6: decade and we're bringing them back. They had four hundred
- 1:28:30Speaker 6: and fifty patriots joined at Independence Hall in Philadelphia about
- 1:28:35Speaker 6: a week and a half ago to sort of kick
- 1:28:37Speaker 6: the year of events off, and we'll be bringing that
- 1:28:40Speaker 6: around the country and Ohio is fortunately one of the
- 1:28:43Speaker 6: twelve states that's going to be getting a stop later
- 1:28:46Speaker 6: later this summer.
- 1:28:48Speaker 1: Maybe you need to get some sort of well funded
- 1:28:51Speaker 1: signal campaign going on. If you have a group of
- 1:28:54Speaker 1: signal folks, you can get them together in large part
- 1:28:56Speaker 1: in large numbers. You send the shout out. It helps
- 1:29:00Speaker 1: if you pay them to show up in an hourly basis.
- 1:29:02Speaker 1: I bet if you paid them all twenty bucks an hour,
- 1:29:04Speaker 1: you would have had like nine hundred people there as
- 1:29:06Speaker 1: opposed to four to fifty.
- 1:29:08Speaker 4: Well there you go.
- 1:29:09Speaker 6: You know what I tell my team that they say,
- 1:29:11Speaker 6: you know, if we could pay in our activistay, if
- 1:29:13Speaker 6: we could pay the volunteers the way the left does,
- 1:29:15Speaker 6: we'd be all right. I'd be like, well, look, good
- 1:29:17Speaker 6: news is I'm actually getting paid to do this. So
- 1:29:19Speaker 6: we've already got the paid operatives on the right, Brian.
- 1:29:21Speaker 6: We just got to get out there and do the
- 1:29:23Speaker 6: work right and get the message out there and make
- 1:29:25Speaker 6: an impact. And that's what we're all about this year,
- 1:29:29Speaker 6: is getting folks engaged, especially around this uniting theme of
- 1:29:34Speaker 6: America's two hundred fiftieth birthday.
- 1:29:36Speaker 1: Let's say so call to Action is a two fifty
- 1:29:38Speaker 1: toolkit dot com? Is that was that where we're supposed
- 1:29:40Speaker 1: to go this week, Donovan.
- 1:29:42Speaker 6: I would encourage folks go there, share that it's a
- 1:29:45Speaker 6: good entry point if you've got a left leaning friend
- 1:29:47Speaker 6: or a more progressive friend who you know just can't
- 1:29:50Speaker 6: find the sunshine to help themselves. Share that with them
- 1:29:55Speaker 6: and say, hey, how can we work together to take
- 1:29:56Speaker 6: one small step and sort of ground ourselves back in
- 1:29:59Speaker 6: the same spirit of seventeen seventy six Star founding fathers
- 1:30:02Speaker 6: had to bring this great nation.
- 1:30:04Speaker 9: On the onto the planet.
- 1:30:05Speaker 1: Yeah, well, the squeaky wheel may get the grease, but
- 1:30:07Speaker 1: it just doesn't mean that they're the uh well, the
- 1:30:11Speaker 1: largest voice out there. I think there are too many
- 1:30:13Speaker 1: silent remember the silent majority. There are too many people
- 1:30:15Speaker 1: out there that remain silent. That's why I love what
- 1:30:18Speaker 1: AFP does, because we can't remain silent in the face
- 1:30:21Speaker 1: of all this anger and this venom. It sounds like
- 1:30:24Speaker 1: you're on the wrong side of the equation when you
- 1:30:26Speaker 1: hear folks on the other side screaming out loud. No,
- 1:30:29Speaker 1: you're on the right side. You are logical, you are rational.
- 1:30:32Speaker 1: You are saying you do understand the value of the
- 1:30:34Speaker 1: freedoms that we have. You got to get up and
- 1:30:36Speaker 1: do something about it and spread this message. A two
- 1:30:39Speaker 1: fifty tool kit dot com that's one place to start.
- 1:30:42Speaker 1: And of course, Americans for Prosperity Donovan and Neil always
- 1:30:46Speaker 1: appreciate what you're doing, and I thank you for coming
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: on the show every week to get the message out,
- 1:30:50Speaker 1: and I'm pleased to be a part of getting the
- 1:30:51Speaker 1: message out.
- 1:30:52Speaker 8: Brian.
- 1:30:53Speaker 6: Thanks as for sharing your megaphone with me. Have a
- 1:30:55Speaker 6: great one.
- 1:30:55Speaker 1: Any time you two seven thirty six, I seed the
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: talk station. It's seven forty one here. If at five
- 1:31:06Speaker 1: K see talk station probably time. I was wishing everyone
- 1:31:08Speaker 1: a very happy Wednesday. Another invitation listener, lunch debut rons
- 1:31:11Speaker 1: ERUs on the west side and kind of chuckling here
- 1:31:14Speaker 1: and Steve Belza from the Clamont County. He's the executive
- 1:31:16Speaker 1: director of the Clamont County Veteran Service Commission, to give
- 1:31:19Speaker 1: us an update. Traffic kind of a problem out there
- 1:31:21Speaker 1: this morning station.
- 1:31:22Speaker 12: You know what, I should have followed my own advice
- 1:31:25Speaker 12: and taken my county transportation here because those guys are
- 1:31:31Speaker 12: phenomenal well.
- 1:31:31Speaker 1: The climate County Veteran Services will take you to disappointment.
- 1:31:35Speaker 5: Maybe maybe, as the.
- 1:31:38Speaker 1: Executive director, I suspect you have an INN.
- 1:31:41Speaker 12: I do have an in, but I don't know that
- 1:31:42Speaker 12: I will exceed the limits of the inn. However, noting
- 1:31:48Speaker 12: their confidence and the routes of Cincinnati to get around
- 1:31:52Speaker 12: versus mine and avoiding those large yellow containers that carried
- 1:31:57Speaker 12: little people.
- 1:31:57Speaker 1: In Oh yeah, yeah, the school buses, especially if there's
- 1:32:02Speaker 1: even a rumor of a snowflake in the area, to
- 1:32:04Speaker 1: the extent they're on the road.
- 1:32:06Speaker 5: Absolutely.
- 1:32:07Speaker 1: We are talking this morning about transportation services for the veterans,
- 1:32:10Speaker 1: and the Claimont County Veterans Services Commission does offer transportation
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: for veterans to get to and from their appointments. Steve,
- 1:32:17Speaker 1: let's just cut directly to the chase. How do veterans
- 1:32:19Speaker 1: out there take advantage of the service? And this is
- 1:32:21Speaker 1: for Claremont County veterans, correct, that's correct, Okay, I just
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: the geographic limitations. I think it's important because there are
- 1:32:28Speaker 1: other Veterans Services commissions. Each of the counties has one,
- 1:32:31Speaker 1: but not all of them offer transportation as I understand it,
- 1:32:34Speaker 1: or do.
- 1:32:35Speaker 12: They well according to the High Revice Code. So I
- 1:32:38Speaker 12: don't want to answer for them, okay, but the Ohio
- 1:32:41Speaker 12: Revice Code says that we will offer transportation services now
- 1:32:46Speaker 12: that can come in the mode of owning our own
- 1:32:49Speaker 12: vehicles and transporting the veterans ourselves. Some counties have hired
- 1:32:54Speaker 12: third party contractors to move veterans to and from their
- 1:32:58Speaker 12: appointments and obviously pay the fee, sure, but it's always
- 1:33:02Speaker 12: free to the veterans, so we are subsidized by county
- 1:33:06Speaker 12: funds to do this. It's just how do you do it?
- 1:33:09Speaker 1: Okay, And the last time we talked about this, I
- 1:33:11Speaker 1: thought your way of doing it was was a pretty
- 1:33:14Speaker 1: darn good way, because you these are your people, they
- 1:33:17Speaker 1: are You're not contracting them out.
- 1:33:19Speaker 5: Nope, No, every one of my drivers.
- 1:33:21Speaker 1: No CDL out there for the person who can't read English,
- 1:33:24Speaker 1: for example, that kind of thing they're vetted.
- 1:33:27Speaker 12: No, yeah, ask me to ask to pronounce cdo however, Yeah,
- 1:33:32Speaker 12: it's yeah, it's it's a continental.
- 1:33:33Speaker 5: Text a right. Nonetheless, it's too much fun, sorry, too
- 1:33:38Speaker 5: much coffee. But we do. We have five vehicles.
- 1:33:41Speaker 12: We recently added a new vehicle to the fleet because
- 1:33:45Speaker 12: of the amount of veterans we have been taking to
- 1:33:48Speaker 12: the VA and their appointments and since they've gone out
- 1:33:52Speaker 12: to third party physicians to help reduce the backlog of
- 1:33:57Speaker 12: appointments for veterans. Means that the Ohio Vice Code establishes
- 1:34:02Speaker 12: for us. Really, this is the parameters of how my
- 1:34:04Speaker 12: office is constructed that we are to take veterans to
- 1:34:08Speaker 12: the VA's hospitals. Area of responsibility and with the VA
- 1:34:14Speaker 12: it's called a vincent. Don't ask me what it stands for,
- 1:34:17Speaker 12: but it's an area geographically, but that includes Michigan, Indiana
- 1:34:21Speaker 12: and Ohio.
- 1:34:21Speaker 1: Wow.
- 1:34:22Speaker 5: So if someone has to go up to the.
- 1:34:24Speaker 12: Cleveland clinic for a cancer and they're a Cleveland and
- 1:34:26Speaker 12: they're Clemont County resident, I have an expectation to transport
- 1:34:32Speaker 12: that person.
- 1:34:33Speaker 5: Oh mom back right.
- 1:34:34Speaker 12: So when you think about Uncle Joe and how are
- 1:34:37Speaker 12: we getting them here? Aunt Sally does not need to
- 1:34:40Speaker 12: be on the road for five hours right, one way, right,
- 1:34:44Speaker 12: So we have an expectation.
- 1:34:45Speaker 5: We work out ways.
- 1:34:46Speaker 12: We try to do it in a one day shot
- 1:34:48Speaker 12: if we can. However, we do have five vehicles we're
- 1:34:54Speaker 12: taking to you to your VA appointments. Even if it's
- 1:34:57Speaker 12: outside the VA hospital or the community based outbation clinic
- 1:35:02Speaker 12: that we call a sea bank. It could be doctor
- 1:35:04Speaker 12: Jones on the West Side. We'll take you and bring
- 1:35:06Speaker 12: you back home.
- 1:35:07Speaker 1: That is a wonderful thing to learn. I had no
- 1:35:10Speaker 1: idea that you went to that extra effort to get
- 1:35:12Speaker 1: veterans wherever they need to be. What a beautiful thing
- 1:35:15Speaker 1: it is. It's pretty something. Every day on the morning show,
- 1:35:17Speaker 1: and that's a new one for me. We'll continue to
- 1:35:19Speaker 1: Steve Bells from the Clinic Economic County Veteran Services learn
- 1:35:24Speaker 1: fifty five KERCD talk station helping out the American veteran
- 1:35:28Speaker 1: gobless each and every one of you out there. I
- 1:35:30Speaker 1: truly appreciate your service to our country. Of course appreciates
- 1:35:32Speaker 1: Steve Bells a service to his country and his ongoing
- 1:35:34Speaker 1: service as the executive director of the Clarmont County Veteran
- 1:35:37Speaker 1: Services and lo and behold. Yes, they will take you
- 1:35:39Speaker 1: to your medical appointments and got their own five van fleet.
- 1:35:44Speaker 1: They got eight part time drivers. They have been fully
- 1:35:46Speaker 1: vetted and they are in fact paid for by the
- 1:35:49Speaker 1: Claimont County Veteran Services. Correct, that is correct, not subcontractors.
- 1:35:53Speaker 1: These are your guys.
- 1:35:53Speaker 5: They unfortunately they have to work for me. No, got it?
- 1:35:56Speaker 1: Come on, don't be self deprecating. Yeah, okay, I'm an
- 1:35:59Speaker 1: apply over there. When I get fired from this job,
- 1:36:03Speaker 1: it's either you are or cover since y man, I'm
- 1:36:05Speaker 1: gonna I gotta do something. That's yeah. Now, in terms
- 1:36:09Speaker 1: of appointments, I is the VA do they have just
- 1:36:12Speaker 1: like regular you know, Monday through Friday type appointments I
- 1:36:15Speaker 1: don't know how. I don't since I'm not a veteran.
- 1:36:16Speaker 1: I have a scheduled appointment there. How does that work?
- 1:36:18Speaker 1: And do you offer the services I mean? Or do
- 1:36:21Speaker 1: they have appointments on the weekends at the VA. I'm
- 1:36:23Speaker 1: wondering how you operate and whether that that's an issue
- 1:36:26Speaker 1: on the weekends.
- 1:36:27Speaker 12: Yeah, so there's almost two spheres of how the VA
- 1:36:29Speaker 12: operates their emergency room.
- 1:36:32Speaker 5: I see you is twenty four to seven regardless.
- 1:36:35Speaker 1: Well, I would think an ambulance would take a person
- 1:36:38Speaker 1: in trouble, that's right.
- 1:36:39Speaker 12: As far as physicians appointments, much like your primary care
- 1:36:43Speaker 12: physician out in town, it's traditionally Monday through Friday. They
- 1:36:47Speaker 12: typically start at seven thirty. Appointments are usually done at four.
- 1:36:51Speaker 12: That is at the VA center specifically. Okay, but the
- 1:36:55Speaker 12: VA also having third party contracts out there with other physicians,
- 1:36:59Speaker 12: speciales can farm you out on a on a note
- 1:37:03Speaker 12: to say, hey, you need to go see doctor Jones
- 1:37:05Speaker 12: out in toown this great pediatrist for whatever.
- 1:37:08Speaker 5: Right, so we will take you.
- 1:37:10Speaker 12: Because the VA originated the appointment for the veteran, I
- 1:37:14Speaker 12: got you that he may work until six pm. Okay, right,
- 1:37:17Speaker 12: So We're gonna get you there and we're going to
- 1:37:19Speaker 12: get you back home.
- 1:37:20Speaker 1: Okay, that's what we need to know. Now, what about
- 1:37:25Speaker 1: physical restrictions? I mean, I know you have quite a
- 1:37:27Speaker 1: few disabled American veterans out there. I mean I've seen
- 1:37:30Speaker 1: them on honor flights, you know that's the reality. Are
- 1:37:33Speaker 1: the vans equipped to handle folks with physical disabilities?
- 1:37:36Speaker 12: So my vans are not. You must be what we
- 1:37:39Speaker 12: say ambulatory. You must be able to maneuver on your
- 1:37:42Speaker 12: own if you need any assistance to get into the vans.
- 1:37:45Speaker 12: We have no wheelchair lifts or extra support to get
- 1:37:50Speaker 12: you into and out of our vans safely. But what
- 1:37:53Speaker 12: we have is in agreement with Claremont County Senior Services
- 1:37:57Speaker 12: where they will take you in there chair lift vans.
- 1:38:00Speaker 12: They're bigger vehicles and they will take you down to
- 1:38:02Speaker 12: your via appointment and bring you back home. So there
- 1:38:06Speaker 12: is a way to support. It just won't be by
- 1:38:07Speaker 12: one of our vehicles.
- 1:38:09Speaker 1: But you'll still facilitate the arrangement. Correct, Okay, well it's covered,
- 1:38:13Speaker 1: Then it's covered. I was just getting ready to say,
- 1:38:14Speaker 1: there's got to be some philanthropists out there is going
- 1:38:16Speaker 1: to say they need a wheelchair lift van. I'll buy
- 1:38:18Speaker 1: one of those for the Clambont County Veteran Services.
- 1:38:20Speaker 12: Well, and what comes in. We've seen some hair raising
- 1:38:24Speaker 12: drop offs at the VA of non ambulatary people and
- 1:38:29Speaker 12: it's horrific when you see this stuff occurring. And it's
- 1:38:33Speaker 12: usually by a third party transportation company. Just I don't care.
- 1:38:36Speaker 12: I'm getting paid fifteen bucks an hour. I don't know
- 1:38:38Speaker 12: what it is. But to watch somebody tumble over in
- 1:38:40Speaker 12: a wheelchair because they're being dumbed out, it's like, nope,
- 1:38:43Speaker 12: wrong crew here, buddy. So it's also my drivers are
- 1:38:48Speaker 12: typically retired, which is why they're just part time drivers. Yeah,
- 1:38:52Speaker 12: so't a little older, right, so mid seventies, low seventies.
- 1:38:56Speaker 12: They don't want to be horsing around. No no, no, no, no, no, no,
- 1:38:59Speaker 12: Uncle Joe. Right, And so I don't need my drivers
- 1:39:01Speaker 12: injured as well. But aside from that, we typically know
- 1:39:05Speaker 12: whether we can get in and out of a.
- 1:39:06Speaker 5: Vehicle on our own volition.
- 1:39:10Speaker 12: Still, yet there are veterans who have Mama wants to
- 1:39:14Speaker 12: come to the appointment with them, right, Uncle Joe's getting
- 1:39:16Speaker 12: a little yeah, a little loose, right, yeah, and doesn't
- 1:39:20Speaker 12: really cognitively understand what's going on, and Mama wants to ride.
- 1:39:25Speaker 12: We need to know if the spouse is going to
- 1:39:27Speaker 12: be attendee because we need to raise a transportation specifically,
- 1:39:32Speaker 12: they might be picking up three people on the route
- 1:39:34Speaker 12: to get down.
- 1:39:34Speaker 5: To the VA.
- 1:39:35Speaker 1: Good right, because of that, we need.
- 1:39:38Speaker 12: To know so we can coordinate if we can. And
- 1:39:41Speaker 12: especially if there's a specialty that he's working into dementia,
- 1:39:45Speaker 12: I need to go with him to make sure he
- 1:39:46Speaker 12: gets in and out of Okay, understand that, But there's
- 1:39:50Speaker 12: also comes in how many veterans have a service dog.
- 1:39:53Speaker 12: So when we start talking service anamalg epecially service dog,
- 1:39:57Speaker 12: let me make.
- 1:39:58Speaker 5: That distinction with the VA.
- 1:40:00Speaker 1: What a companion is.
- 1:40:01Speaker 5: It is not a companion animal. It is not Fuzzy Susie.
- 1:40:04Speaker 1: In your purse, my Liam companion animal.
- 1:40:07Speaker 5: Companion animal.
- 1:40:09Speaker 12: So a service dog must be trained to service three
- 1:40:14Speaker 12: deficiencies that equate to the same three deficiencies of the veteran.
- 1:40:20Speaker 12: And so many people say, well, it's a service dog,
- 1:40:22Speaker 12: but what deficiencies of yours?
- 1:40:25Speaker 5: Is your service dog tied to?
- 1:40:27Speaker 12: So all these dynamics and then secondly, does Aunt Joe
- 1:40:30Speaker 12: want to be in there with someone else's service dog,
- 1:40:32Speaker 12: and she may be afraid because of a childhood of
- 1:40:34Speaker 12: event a dog.
- 1:40:35Speaker 1: But when the veterans schedule their ride or a loved
- 1:40:38Speaker 1: one on behalf of it may be more disabled veterans
- 1:40:41Speaker 1: schedule that you're going to ask them that question. They
- 1:40:43Speaker 1: don't need to make like hey, I'm bringing my mom
- 1:40:45Speaker 1: or I'm bringing my wife, or I'm bringing my sister.
- 1:40:47Speaker 1: Whatever you're going to ask him.
- 1:40:49Speaker 5: Typically okay.
- 1:40:50Speaker 12: They also need to bring out and most of the
- 1:40:52Speaker 12: veterans that we take no to tell us okay, and
- 1:40:56Speaker 12: a lot of them we know personally anyways. Sure, so
- 1:40:59Speaker 12: ubility relationships it is.
- 1:41:02Speaker 1: The drivers probably really enjoy their job.
- 1:41:05Speaker 12: Oh, I have more stories of fun conversations of just
- 1:41:09Speaker 12: let me tell you about this last guy I met
- 1:41:11Speaker 12: right World War two Korean vet and just they just
- 1:41:14Speaker 12: open up, yep, and they look forward.
- 1:41:16Speaker 5: To the rides.
- 1:41:17Speaker 1: I'm sure they do commiserating with a fellow veteran. Get
- 1:41:19Speaker 1: the right of the appointment. That's that's awesome, Steve Belzo,
- 1:41:22Speaker 1: Executive director of the Claim Unty Veteran Services Office. So
- 1:41:25Speaker 1: you've given all the information, all the fun facts, they
- 1:41:27Speaker 1: will take you to your appointment. How do they reach
- 1:41:30Speaker 1: you to do just.
- 1:41:30Speaker 5: That two ways.
- 1:41:32Speaker 12: The simplest way is five one three seven three to two.
- 1:41:36Speaker 12: Listen to this seven four seven one. That is the
- 1:41:40Speaker 12: direct line to transportation seven three to two seven four
- 1:41:44Speaker 12: seven to one.
- 1:41:46Speaker 5: However, you can go through.
- 1:41:47Speaker 12: The front desk perceptionists of five to one three seven
- 1:41:49Speaker 12: three two seven three six three and wait for the
- 1:41:54Speaker 12: transportation node that you'll detal through. But the five one
- 1:41:57Speaker 12: three seven three two seven four seven one is the
- 1:42:00Speaker 12: direct line to transportation. Leave your voicemail to'll call you back.
- 1:42:03Speaker 1: Their busy folks, just one of the many services the
- 1:42:06Speaker 1: folks of the Clemat County Veteran Service Commissioner offering for
- 1:42:09Speaker 1: the Klemark County veterans. Take advantage of them. Guys, you
- 1:42:11Speaker 1: earned the health benefits, you earned the respect of the community,
- 1:42:15Speaker 1: and they're happy to give you a ride to that appointment.
- 1:42:18Speaker 1: Stew Bells will keep up the great work man, Brian.
- 1:42:20Speaker 5: Thanks for your love, brother.
- 1:42:21Speaker 1: Always love seeing Pyo five fifty five Karros the talk station.
- 1:42:25Speaker 1: Try to make it a happy Wednesday. In spite of
- 1:42:28Speaker 1: the subject matter being very tragic, it is a breath
- 1:42:31Speaker 1: of fresh air to know that Heaven's Gain Ministries is
- 1:42:34Speaker 1: out there helping folks who probably dealt with one of
- 1:42:36Speaker 1: the worst things any family can experience, and that is
- 1:42:39Speaker 1: the pregnancy loss before, during, or even after the delivery
- 1:42:42Speaker 1: of their baby. Everyone loves their babies, at least I
- 1:42:45Speaker 1: hope so, but if you lose one, that is going
- 1:42:47Speaker 1: to be a weight that many people are just going
- 1:42:48Speaker 1: to struggle with mightily. And there's a whole lot involved
- 1:42:51Speaker 1: in that beyond just the emotional problems that go along
- 1:42:54Speaker 1: with it. Who knows more than that. My next guests
- 1:42:56Speaker 1: are more than me, Donna Murphy. She's with Heaven's Gain
- 1:42:59Speaker 1: Ministry is which you can easily find online either by
- 1:43:02Speaker 1: going to my blog page fifty five krcy dot com
- 1:43:04Speaker 1: or Joe has put a link, or just go directly
- 1:43:05Speaker 1: to Heaven'sgain dot org. And we're gonna put some love
- 1:43:09Speaker 1: together and help them out today on the Morning show. Donna,
- 1:43:12Speaker 1: it's a pleasure to have you on the program.
- 1:43:15Speaker 10: Thanks so much for having me on again.
- 1:43:16Speaker 1: Oh, it's a wonderful thing to share the information on
- 1:43:19Speaker 1: it because you know that you have to exist is
- 1:43:21Speaker 1: one of life's tragedies. I personally cannot imagine, you know,
- 1:43:26Speaker 1: having lost either of my children at any time, whether
- 1:43:29Speaker 1: it's while my wife was pregnant or even afterwards. It's
- 1:43:33Speaker 1: just overwhelming. Grief comes to mind. And I'm sure you
- 1:43:35Speaker 1: see that every single day and what you do with
- 1:43:37Speaker 1: your ministry.
- 1:43:39Speaker 10: We sure do. It's amazing how many people go through it,
- 1:43:43Speaker 10: but they just don't get a chance to talk about
- 1:43:45Speaker 10: it because it's such a taboo subject in our society.
- 1:43:50Speaker 10: But really it's so wonderful when you can talk about it,
- 1:43:55Speaker 10: when you can talk about your experience, when you can
- 1:43:57Speaker 10: mention your child's name.
- 1:43:59Speaker 6: It's just the gift.
- 1:44:01Speaker 10: And that's what we allow people to do with Heaven's
- 1:44:03Speaker 10: Gained ministries. We allow them to talk about what they're
- 1:44:06Speaker 10: going through and how they're suffering and try to help
- 1:44:10Speaker 10: them on their healing journey.
- 1:44:11Speaker 1: Well, and it's the support you get by way of
- 1:44:14Speaker 1: sort of like a counseling service. You have people who
- 1:44:17Speaker 1: know about this and have been through it perhaps, But
- 1:44:20Speaker 1: it's more than that, because you do also offer some
- 1:44:23Speaker 1: supplies burial products for example, and other educational opportunities. But
- 1:44:28Speaker 1: before we get to this, in terms of how often
- 1:44:31Speaker 1: this happens, I mean, it's not something you read about
- 1:44:34Speaker 1: in the paper, is it, don I mean, how often
- 1:44:36Speaker 1: does a parent or parents lose their child. And I
- 1:44:39Speaker 1: imagine it differs depending upon when the pregnance, when in
- 1:44:42Speaker 1: the pregnancy the woman is, but also the idea of
- 1:44:45Speaker 1: losing a baby after birth.
- 1:44:48Speaker 8: Correct.
- 1:44:49Speaker 10: So in the first trimester, one in four babies are
- 1:44:53Speaker 10: lost due to miscarriage. That's a lot.
- 1:44:56Speaker 6: That's a million babies a year.
- 1:44:59Speaker 10: In the second trimester, when that woman has that little
- 1:45:01Speaker 10: bump but she's not huge yet, one in thirty three
- 1:45:05Speaker 10: of those babies will pass. So that's just amazing that
- 1:45:08Speaker 10: it's that many. When you just see a woman with
- 1:45:10Speaker 10: a bump, there's a one and thirty three chance she's
- 1:45:12Speaker 10: gonna lose her child. And then that third trimester when
- 1:45:16Speaker 10: you're when the baby is you know, really could survive
- 1:45:19Speaker 10: outside the womb, no one.
- 1:45:21Speaker 1: Both of mine were one month early. I think about
- 1:45:24Speaker 1: that all the time when I hear about late term abortions,
- 1:45:26Speaker 1: and it just sickens me to the core because both
- 1:45:29Speaker 1: of mine came out right at eight months to hit
- 1:45:31Speaker 1: the ground running.
- 1:45:34Speaker 10: Yeah, and you know, and of those one hundred and sixty,
- 1:45:38Speaker 10: some of those are born really early and passed right
- 1:45:41Speaker 10: after birth, like you were saying, you know, after birth,
- 1:45:43Speaker 10: they're born alive, but they don't make it very long
- 1:45:45Speaker 10: and so's it's really tragic. But in our society, since
- 1:45:49Speaker 10: it's taboo, a lot of people don't talk about it.
- 1:45:52Speaker 10: But one of the things that we do to try
- 1:45:54Speaker 10: and make a difference is we prepare families. When they
- 1:45:57Speaker 10: find out there's no heartbeat, we will prepare them for
- 1:46:00Speaker 10: their miscarriage at home or the miscarriage is still birth
- 1:46:03Speaker 10: in a hospital. And that's really important because if you
- 1:46:06Speaker 10: are prepared for the birth of your child, it's going
- 1:46:09Speaker 10: to cause a lot less trauma so that parents, those
- 1:46:13Speaker 10: parents don't have to suffer as much. They can get
- 1:46:16Speaker 10: onto that healing journey. So in the first trimester, we
- 1:46:19Speaker 10: provide miscarriage kits for families to be able to deliver
- 1:46:23Speaker 10: their babies at home, and we actually have miscarriage kits
- 1:46:27Speaker 10: in little boxes throughout the city here and actually in
- 1:46:31Speaker 10: some other cities, so that families can go at any
- 1:46:35Speaker 10: time twenty four to seven go pick up a miscarriage kit,
- 1:46:37Speaker 10: and then we have a sixteen hour day hotline that
- 1:46:40Speaker 10: they can call, and we have directions on YouTube so
- 1:46:44Speaker 10: they can follow that. And in the second trimester we'll
- 1:46:48Speaker 10: sit down and help that family make a birth plan,
- 1:46:51Speaker 10: so that's when they go into the hospital, they're prepared
- 1:46:54Speaker 10: for what's going to happen if they find out that
- 1:46:56Speaker 10: that baby has died in the second or third trimester.
- 1:46:59Speaker 6: And that's really important.
- 1:47:00Speaker 10: Because a lot of the trauma that happens is because
- 1:47:04Speaker 10: you are not prepared. You're just told to show up
- 1:47:06Speaker 10: at the hospital at a certain time. Okay, if you
- 1:47:08Speaker 10: can imagine when somebody greets you at the hospital and
- 1:47:10Speaker 10: they're like, Hi, how are you, what are you here for?
- 1:47:13Speaker 10: And to try and say I'm here to deliver my
- 1:47:15Speaker 10: dead baby, and devastating It starts the whole thing off wrong.
- 1:47:19Speaker 10: And then you go over to registration and they're like,
- 1:47:23Speaker 10: who's your pediatrician?
- 1:47:24Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
- 1:47:25Speaker 10: Another So we're going to prepare them for all those things.
- 1:47:27Speaker 10: We give them little cards that they can show. We're
- 1:47:30Speaker 10: going to talk to them about how the delivery process happens,
- 1:47:34Speaker 10: and what treasured memories they can make and treasured mementos
- 1:47:39Speaker 10: they can make while in the hospital, so to do
- 1:47:41Speaker 10: some parenting things with their child so that they have
- 1:47:45Speaker 10: some beautiful memories even though they're sad, there's still beautiful memories.
- 1:47:49Speaker 10: Instead of rushing that time away, and then afterwards we
- 1:47:52Speaker 10: give them the support that they need to get on
- 1:47:54Speaker 10: that healing journey.
- 1:47:56Speaker 1: So quite literally, you're talking about maybe a doctor or
- 1:47:59Speaker 1: a medical profession has already told the woman that the
- 1:48:01Speaker 1: baby has passed on, and yet she's still carrying it
- 1:48:04Speaker 1: inside her and must deal with the weight of that
- 1:48:06Speaker 1: until the baby's delivered at the hospital.
- 1:48:09Speaker 8: That's true.
- 1:48:12Speaker 10: But actually babies in the first trimester usually so they
- 1:48:19Speaker 10: can go three to four weeks before the mother will
- 1:48:23Speaker 10: pass them. And in the second and third trimester they
- 1:48:28Speaker 10: usually have to be induced into labor, and so there's
- 1:48:31Speaker 10: not a huge rush and it's better for them emotionally
- 1:48:34Speaker 10: if they can be prepared and wait a day or so,
- 1:48:37Speaker 10: and so that the delivery process actually goes a lot
- 1:48:41Speaker 10: better if the mother is mentally prepared.
- 1:48:44Speaker 1: You're the expert on this. I'm just trying to grasp
- 1:48:46Speaker 1: the whole concept, and I'm just so tragic and so sad. Well,
- 1:48:51Speaker 1: it's good that you're there now. You offer supplies. After
- 1:48:55Speaker 1: the baby has has been delivered or is otherwise needs
- 1:48:59Speaker 1: to be buried properly, you help with that and you
- 1:49:02Speaker 1: provide burial products. Correct.
- 1:49:04Speaker 10: We do, and that's very important. When my husband and
- 1:49:07Speaker 10: I we've lost one baby in the first trimester and
- 1:49:10Speaker 10: two in the second. And even with our largest child,
- 1:49:13Speaker 10: who was eight inches long, we went around to four
- 1:49:15Speaker 10: funeral homes and two cemeteries and no one would provide
- 1:49:19Speaker 10: us anything to bury our child, and they wouldn't even
- 1:49:21Speaker 10: order us a big, full sized casket. So one of
- 1:49:24Speaker 10: the funeral directors said, go to the world market, get
- 1:49:27Speaker 10: yourself a box a chest, and that's what we did.
- 1:49:30Speaker 10: We took the chest, put our son in it, and
- 1:49:32Speaker 10: wrapped it in two packages of press and seal before
- 1:49:34Speaker 10: we put it in the ground. We said, that's not dignified,
- 1:49:37Speaker 10: and so we hired casket makers to make caskets for
- 1:49:42Speaker 10: babies of all gestations, So no matter what the size
- 1:49:45Speaker 10: of your baby is, whether that baby is one inch
- 1:49:48Speaker 10: long or twenty inches long, we are there to help
- 1:49:51Speaker 10: provide a casket or earn so that they can have
- 1:49:53Speaker 10: respectful disposition. We also worked towards getting laws in the
- 1:49:57Speaker 10: state of Ohio. There were no laws when we lost
- 1:49:59Speaker 10: our children giving us the right to bury them, but
- 1:50:01Speaker 10: now there are laws in the state of Ohio giving
- 1:50:04Speaker 10: all parents who lose their child no matther's the gestation,
- 1:50:07Speaker 10: whether it be a miscarriage or a still birth, have
- 1:50:10Speaker 10: the right to bury their child. And that's true in
- 1:50:12Speaker 10: Kentucky and Indiana. But that's only true in twenty five states.
- 1:50:15Speaker 10: Here in the United States. The other twenty five states,
- 1:50:17Speaker 10: they have no legal laws, no laws that actually give
- 1:50:21Speaker 10: parents the right to their babies remain, so they have
- 1:50:23Speaker 10: to fight for those. That's the baby up to ten
- 1:50:26Speaker 10: it's as long done.
- 1:50:28Speaker 1: I'm shocked that under what theory is it not a
- 1:50:32Speaker 1: good idea to allow parents to properly bury their their
- 1:50:35Speaker 1: their lost baby.
- 1:50:37Speaker 10: Well you know who's fighting that?
- 1:50:39Speaker 1: So oh, because it lends some credibility that there's actually
- 1:50:43Speaker 1: a human life inside that woman or was actually is
- 1:50:46Speaker 1: that where we are on this done?
- 1:50:49Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 1:50:49Speaker 1: Okay, the world is filled with crazies. Now, this is
- 1:50:53Speaker 1: a different thing. This, this loss of the pregnancy or
- 1:50:57Speaker 1: a loss right after birth. It's a different issue than say,
- 1:51:00Speaker 1: sudden infant death syndrome. I have a dear friend, a
- 1:51:03Speaker 1: he and his why we're friends from college. They lost
- 1:51:05Speaker 1: their baby. Sudden infant death syndromes. That's a different element.
- 1:51:09Speaker 10: Correct, That is different and we do not offer support
- 1:51:14Speaker 10: services for that because if you put somebody who say
- 1:51:17Speaker 10: they had a stillbirth at twenty four weeks, and you
- 1:51:20Speaker 10: put that person in with a person who has child
- 1:51:23Speaker 10: has died of SIDS. That person whose child has died
- 1:51:25Speaker 10: of SIDS is going to talk about all the memories
- 1:51:27Speaker 10: they have, and then that's going to hurt the person
- 1:51:30Speaker 10: who has had a still birth. So those people are
- 1:51:33Speaker 10: usually go to Children's Hospital for support, where our families
- 1:51:37Speaker 10: who don't have a lot of memories other than hey,
- 1:51:39Speaker 10: my baby kicked on eight ice cream, They don't have
- 1:51:42Speaker 10: a lot of memories, and so we try and keep
- 1:51:45Speaker 10: that our support limited to those people whose babies died
- 1:51:48Speaker 10: prior to birth or immediately after birth.
- 1:51:51Speaker 1: All right, now, how can we help out? I think
- 1:51:55Speaker 1: you have a dinner dance coming up?
- 1:51:57Speaker 8: We do?
- 1:51:58Speaker 6: Do?
- 1:51:58Speaker 10: We have? Our biggest raiser of the year is our
- 1:52:02Speaker 10: Share the Love Dinner Dance on Valentine's Day. It's at
- 1:52:06Speaker 10: Receptions in Erlanger. It starts at five thirty when the
- 1:52:11Speaker 10: door's open, we have open bar, and then at dinner
- 1:52:15Speaker 10: we serve dinner at six point thirty. Our program only
- 1:52:17Speaker 10: goes from seven thirty to eight thirty, and then from
- 1:52:20Speaker 10: eight thirty till eleven we have fun and dancing and raffle.
- 1:52:26Speaker 10: It's going to be a great time for anybody who
- 1:52:28Speaker 10: wants to come.
- 1:52:29Speaker 1: A worthy cause. It is Heaven's Gained Ministry's annual fundraiser
- 1:52:33Speaker 1: for Pregnancy Laws Support. And you know, I'm glad you're there,
- 1:52:36Speaker 1: and I'm you know, on behalf of my entire listening audience.
- 1:52:39Speaker 1: You and your husband, you know, deepest condolences on having
- 1:52:42Speaker 1: had to go through this several times. But you know,
- 1:52:45Speaker 1: like so many other people who started charities, you have
- 1:52:47Speaker 1: a terrible situation you're presented with. You appreciate where the
- 1:52:49Speaker 1: need is because you had to live through it and
- 1:52:52Speaker 1: struggle with it. And then you come to the rescue
- 1:52:54Speaker 1: of people going down the road and smooth the road
- 1:52:56Speaker 1: for them by providing all these services to make their
- 1:52:59Speaker 1: lives so much better. That's a beautiful thing. You are
- 1:53:02Speaker 1: inspired by your faith, correct, Donna.
- 1:53:07Speaker 10: Absolutely, had I not felt the Lord calling me to
- 1:53:11Speaker 10: do this, I certainly wouldn't do it. But at first
- 1:53:14Speaker 10: it was very hard, but now it is so rewarding
- 1:53:16Speaker 10: because when people come in to be prepared for the
- 1:53:19Speaker 10: delivery of their child, they come in scared, afraid, they're
- 1:53:22Speaker 10: just in.
- 1:53:22Speaker 6: The state of shock.
- 1:53:23Speaker 10: But by the time they leave, they feel empowered, they're
- 1:53:25Speaker 10: ready to meet their baby and to make the most
- 1:53:28Speaker 10: of that short time. And so it is actually very
- 1:53:30Speaker 10: very rewarding.
- 1:53:31Speaker 1: I am certain it is. Help them out Heaven's Gain

- 1:54:43Speaker 1: and I'm usually hanging out till about one thirty. Big
- 1:54:45Speaker 1: question mark as to whether Cribbage, Mike and I will

- 1:54:59Speaker 1: So whether I see him or not remains to be seen.
- 1:55:01Speaker 1: Mom's still a question mark. If she shows up, She's
- 1:55:03Speaker 1: going to just stop in to say hi, maybe a
- 1:55:05Speaker 1: little bit afternoon sometime. No pressure, Mom. Anyhow, Ron's Roost
- 1:55:11Speaker 1: is the place to be today somewhere in that general timeframe,
- 1:55:14Speaker 1: a lot of great time. It's a great fellowship and
- 1:55:17Speaker 1: a real quick, real quick. But God bless you, Jim Perry.
- 1:55:23Speaker 1: One of the nicest emails I have ever received. I
- 1:55:27Speaker 1: am not worthy, Jim Perry, for the words that you
- 1:55:29Speaker 1: heap down upon me this morning in that beautiful email.
- 1:55:31Speaker 1: I am just beside myself. Thank you very much. That
- 1:55:34Speaker 1: was a wonderful, wonderful gesture. And real quick here as
- 1:55:37Speaker 1: we slide on into Judge Ennen of Paula Tanna, does
- 1:55:39Speaker 1: the US still have a constitution? Well, yeah, I think so.
- 1:55:42Speaker 1: When someone needs to remind Donald Trump about this particular point.
- 1:55:45Speaker 1: He doubled down just the other day about his view
- 1:55:47Speaker 1: that Republicans should nationalize voting in the United States. He said,
- 1:55:51Speaker 1: I want to see elections, be honest, no problem there.
- 1:55:54Speaker 1: And if a state can't run an election, I think
- 1:55:56Speaker 1: that people behind me should do something about it. Huh hey,
- 1:56:01Speaker 1: he's take a look at the Troy, take a look
- 1:56:02Speaker 1: at Philadelphia, take a look at Atlanta. Federal government should
- 1:56:05Speaker 1: not allow that the federal goverman should get involved. These
- 1:56:08Speaker 1: are agents of the federal governments to count the vote.
- 1:56:15Speaker 1: If they can't count the vote legally and honestly, then
- 1:56:17Speaker 1: someone else should take over, suggesting the federal government should
- 1:56:19Speaker 1: swoop in and count the vote. Well, even Republicans are
- 1:56:22Speaker 1: stepping up and pointing out whoa like cenate majority of
- 1:56:26Speaker 1: the leader, John Thune, I'm not in favor of federalizing elections. No,
- 1:56:30Speaker 1: I think that's a constitutional issue. Take the word think
- 1:56:34Speaker 1: out of there, John, It is a constitutional issue. Mike
- 1:56:36Speaker 1: Johnson even acknowledge that, expressing his frustrations about the problems
- 1:56:42Speaker 1: in certain Democrats leaning jurisdictions, asked if Republicans should take
- 1:56:46Speaker 1: over elections, he said no. Now if you think that
- 1:56:51Speaker 1: sounds like a good idea, and I know we all
- 1:56:53Speaker 1: want election integrity, do you trust would you have trusted
- 1:56:56Speaker 1: Obama's FEDS to oversee elections? Would you have trusted Joe
- 1:57:01Speaker 1: Biden's FEDS to oversee the elections? I'd like to think not.
- 1:57:08Speaker 1: And this shouldn't be a question whose ox is being gore.
- 1:57:10Speaker 1: But we needn't even enter into this discussion because look,
- 1:57:13Speaker 1: states run their elections. That doesn't mean you can't require
- 1:57:19Speaker 1: a federal ID for a federal election, but the states
- 1:57:22Speaker 1: would still run the election. Call it a problem, call
- 1:57:25Speaker 1: it the a beautiful thing in the Constitution. But that's
- 1:57:28Speaker 1: the state of the law anyway. So as we discussed
- 1:57:34Speaker 1: the Save Act, which apparently literally every political group in
- 1:57:37Speaker 1: the United States of America, regardless of persons color, regardless
- 1:57:40Speaker 1: of their political party affiliation, everyone thinks an ID photo
- 1:57:44Speaker 1: ID is a good idea by huge percentages. No, it's
- 1:57:50Speaker 1: not Jim Crow two point zero, Chucky Schumer. Look what
- 1:57:53Speaker 1: happened in Georgia. Yeah, the year the MLB canceled the
- 1:57:56Speaker 1: All Star Game because of their Jim Crow two point
- 1:57:59Speaker 1: zero requirement of a photo ID. Oh, that's right. Minority
- 1:58:04Speaker 1: participation and voting increased after that was activated eight twenty five.
- 1:58:09Speaker 1: Right now fifty five KRC the talk station. Do we
- 1:58:11Speaker 1: have a constitution anymore? Judge Edna Polatano up next from
- 1:58:18Speaker 1: Ice Open Again.

- 1:58:33Speaker 13: that may not be true, but it's a great idea.
- 1:58:36Speaker 13: The podcast is good anyway. The Judge's next Chuck ingram
- 1:58:40Speaker 13: On fifty five krs the talk station.
- 1:58:45Speaker 1: Height thirty one fifty five KRC the talk station. Of course,
- 1:58:49Speaker 1: you talking about Judge Enna Polatana, who we are blessed
- 1:58:51Speaker 1: to have every Wednesday at this time here in the
- 1:58:53Speaker 1: fifty five kr SCEN Morning Show. Welcome back, Judge Enna Polatana.
- 1:58:57Speaker 1: Sorry the video is not working, but at least we
- 1:58:58Speaker 1: get the joy of hearing you and your thoughtful legal analysis.
- 1:59:02Speaker 1: Good to have you on the show.
- 1:59:02Speaker 8: Moch Wow. The joy for me is interacting with you
- 1:59:06Speaker 8: and your audience and listening to Ingram's intros I know
- 1:59:10Speaker 8: which I am deeply and profoundly grateful.
- 1:59:14Speaker 1: You are the only one who gets a custom traffic report.
- 1:59:17Speaker 1: I have to double that on that. And can I
- 1:59:19Speaker 1: ask you before we dive into the topic today, how
- 1:59:22Speaker 1: many years have you and I been doing this?
- 1:59:25Speaker 8: Oh God, I don't know, Brian.
- 1:59:28Speaker 1: It's more than a decade, isn't it It is?
- 1:59:31Speaker 8: It is more than a decade. It goes back to
- 1:59:33Speaker 8: when I was at Fox full time and I left
- 1:59:35Speaker 8: there and well I left there in covid So around
- 1:59:40Speaker 8: twenty twenty twenty. Wow.
- 1:59:42Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, Well I've enjoyed every bit of it.
- 1:59:46Speaker 8: Great friendship. It is when was that speech that I
- 1:59:50Speaker 8: gave that you were the MC in a suburb brand
- 1:59:54Speaker 8: outside of Cincinnati. You remember that that was northern Kentucky.
- 1:59:57Speaker 1: It was I think it was a Northern Kentucky Republican funk.
- 2:00:00Speaker 1: There's something along those lines. But yeah, that's that's the
- 2:00:02Speaker 1: first time we met face to face, and that was
- 2:00:04Speaker 1: like instant friendship. I just anyway, I wanted to just
- 2:00:08Speaker 1: remind you how much of a joy it is for
- 2:00:09Speaker 1: me to have you on. I've learned so much from you,
- 2:00:11Speaker 1: and you have provided, you know, a springboard for people
- 2:00:14Speaker 1: to be far more thoughtful about our constitutional rights than
- 2:00:18Speaker 1: they otherwise might be, because, of course, people in elected
- 2:00:21Speaker 1: capacity on both sides of the political ledgers seemed to
- 2:00:23Speaker 1: have thrown the Constitution out the window. Had a conversation
- 2:00:26Speaker 1: yesually with retired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis, who does war
- 2:00:29Speaker 1: analysis and on the it's called a Daniel Davis deep dive,
- 2:00:32Speaker 1: and I closed out my discussion with him talking about
- 2:00:35Speaker 1: Iran and the impending launching of missiles, and I said,
- 2:00:39Speaker 1: Daniel Davis, doesn't the Constitution require some congressional approval if
- 2:00:43Speaker 1: we're going to start entering into a combat with foreign
- 2:00:46Speaker 1: nations against whom we have no declaration of war. And
- 2:00:49Speaker 1: of course he concurred with me. I said, well that
- 2:00:50Speaker 1: makes you me, judge Editor PAULA. Tano, Congressomassy, and Ran
- 2:00:55Speaker 1: Paul the rest of us, Well, I guess we just
- 2:00:56Speaker 1: ignore the constitution right.
- 2:01:00Speaker 8: Course brings us to what my column tomorrow asks is,
- 2:01:04Speaker 8: do we still have a constitution? The answer is formally yes,
- 2:01:09Speaker 8: functionally no. Functionally the government does what it wants, whether
- 2:01:14Speaker 8: it's a snooping on us, whether it's killing people in
- 2:01:18Speaker 8: the streets in Minneapolis, or whether it's starting a war
- 2:01:23Speaker 8: waging war without a congressional declaration. It's really remarkable. The
- 2:01:28Speaker 8: column does its best in a thousand words or a
- 2:01:31Speaker 8: fewer to trace the erosion of basic constitutional principles. All
- 2:01:37Speaker 8: three branches of government are culpable, the Congress for writing
- 2:01:43Speaker 8: laws on leash and the executive. The executive are taking
- 2:01:46Speaker 8: more power than the constitution authorizes, and the judicial for
- 2:01:50Speaker 8: being cowed by the other two branches. And I attempt
- 2:01:54Speaker 8: to lay that out focusing on the two tragedy tragic
- 2:02:00Speaker 8: killings in Minneapolis. Whatever you think of ICE, whatever you
- 2:02:04Speaker 8: think of the aggressive enforcement of immigration law, there was
- 2:02:07Speaker 8: no basis for federal agents to kill either of those Americans.
- 2:02:12Speaker 8: And that's the point I'm trying to drive home. The
- 2:02:15Speaker 8: bigger point is constitution is almost a joke. When I
- 2:02:20Speaker 8: say do we still have a Constitution at a cocktail
- 2:02:22Speaker 8: party or some informal gathering, people last like Judge, there's
- 2:02:27Speaker 8: only a handful of you who think we still have
- 2:02:29Speaker 8: the Constitution, And you just named Brian.
- 2:02:34Speaker 1: I know, well, I guess we're just old fashioned judgedal Paul. Twis,
- 2:02:39Speaker 1: since it is the supreme law of the land, I
- 2:02:40Speaker 1: feel pretty damn confident in my position on it.
- 2:02:45Speaker 8: It's more than old fashioned. I mean, the purpose of
- 2:02:47Speaker 8: the Constitution is twofold. One is to constitute to establish
- 2:02:52Speaker 8: the federal government, and the other is to restrain it.
- 2:02:56Speaker 8: So in establishing the government, the Constitution is seated beyond
- 2:03:00Speaker 8: its wildest imagining. In restraining it, it's been a dismal failure.
- 2:03:07Speaker 8: The federal government recognizes next to no restraints on its power.
- 2:03:12Speaker 8: Every president has taken and exercised more power than his predecessors.
- 2:03:19Speaker 8: This is almost without exception.
- 2:03:21Speaker 1: Oh clearly, Yeah, I mean it's not. I don't care
- 2:03:24Speaker 1: what political stripe anyone is. You can certainly see that
- 2:03:26Speaker 1: expansion of executive power grow over the years. Now real
- 2:03:29Speaker 1: quick here, it's important because one of the reasons they
- 2:03:32Speaker 1: didn't vote yesterday on Department of Homeland Security funding because
- 2:03:35Speaker 1: of this ICE situation. The Democrats are asking for boiled
- 2:03:38Speaker 1: down like three things. They want them to prevent them
- 2:03:41Speaker 1: from wearing masks, they want them to wear body cameras,
- 2:03:43Speaker 1: and the third one is where you explain in the column.
- 2:03:46Speaker 1: I think it's an important thing to talk about. What
- 2:03:48Speaker 1: is an administrative warrant versus a judicial war. The Democrats
- 2:03:52Speaker 1: are demanding that ICE must have a judicial warrant when
- 2:03:56Speaker 1: they're out picking up the identified illegal immigrants. You did
- 2:03:59Speaker 1: talk about this. Where did the administrative war come from,
- 2:04:02Speaker 1: Judge Odopolitano.
- 2:04:04Speaker 8: Well, the administrative warrant was enacted by Congress and the
- 2:04:08Speaker 8: Truman administration to address civil wrongs. So in those days,
- 2:04:15Speaker 8: if you overstayed an immigration visa, it wasn't a crime,
- 2:04:19Speaker 8: it was a civil wrong, and the government would find
- 2:04:22Speaker 8: you and say, you know what, you better reapply or
- 2:04:25Speaker 8: you better leave. Because the administrative warrant let them find
- 2:04:29Speaker 8: these people, didn't let them go into people's homes. It
- 2:04:32Speaker 8: didn't let them snoop on the phone. It didn't let
- 2:04:34Speaker 8: them drag people out of their homes in the middle
- 2:04:37Speaker 8: of the night in their underwear and put them in
- 2:04:39Speaker 8: a car. It didn't let them stop people on the street.
- 2:04:43Speaker 8: When overstaying your visa or any violation of immigration law
- 2:04:50Speaker 8: became a crime, the Fed continued to use these administrative
- 2:04:56Speaker 8: warrants as if they were judicial warrant. So, an administrative
- 2:04:59Speaker 8: warrant is a piece of paper in which one ICE agent,
- 2:05:04Speaker 8: usually a supervisor, authorizes the bearer of the paper, any
- 2:05:08Speaker 8: other ICE paper, any other ICE person or agent, to
- 2:05:13Speaker 8: arrest people. Now, it wouldn't say go arrest Brian Thommas.
- 2:05:18Speaker 8: It would say go to such and such a car
- 2:05:21Speaker 8: wash and look for people who aren't speaking English and
- 2:05:27Speaker 8: arrest them. Now, that is nowhere near what the Constitution requires,
- 2:05:33Speaker 8: which is a probable cause of crime and b specifically
- 2:05:38Speaker 8: identifying the place to be searched for the person or
- 2:05:43Speaker 8: persons or things to be seized. These administrative warrants are
- 2:05:48Speaker 8: flagrant violations of the Constitution. Some federal courts have upheld them.
- 2:05:53Speaker 8: They have never made their way to the Supreme Court
- 2:05:56Speaker 8: because the government is terrified that the Supreme Court will
- 2:06:00Speaker 8: invalidate them. So this is the profound, profound violation of
- 2:06:06Speaker 8: fundamental liberties, where one ice agent authorizes another to arrest
- 2:06:12Speaker 8: people without naming them based on where they are and
- 2:06:16Speaker 8: how they sound.
- 2:06:17Speaker 1: Well, if someone kicks in my door pursuing to a
- 2:06:19Speaker 1: warrant that was not based on probable cause, I can
- 2:06:22Speaker 1: go into court and you know, motion to suppress whatever
- 2:06:26Speaker 1: evidence of a crime they think they found. When the
- 2:06:28Speaker 1: exercise when they serve the unconstitutional warrant or the probable
- 2:06:33Speaker 1: cause free warrant, is there any judicial remedy to go
- 2:06:36Speaker 1: into court and attack the administrative warrant, your.
- 2:06:40Speaker 8: Honor, The administrative warrants should be attacked. They have not
- 2:06:45Speaker 8: been attacked, primarily because these people are shipped away. You know,
- 2:06:52Speaker 8: they break down a door and arrest them, but a
- 2:06:54Speaker 8: twenty four hours later they're in Texas. They're not in
- 2:06:58Speaker 8: a position to file any complaint. Now, some complaints have
- 2:07:02Speaker 8: been filed, most of them are alleging technical violations of
- 2:07:08Speaker 8: the immigration law. But nobody that I know of has
- 2:07:11Speaker 8: filed a complaint challenging the constitutionality of an administrative warrant.
- 2:07:18Speaker 8: The whole idea that somebody can be arrested on a
- 2:07:21Speaker 8: standard lower than probable cause because they're not American. Defies
- 2:07:26Speaker 8: the very wording of the Fourth Amendment, which protects in
- 2:07:29Speaker 8: one place all people and in another place all persons.
- 2:07:33Speaker 8: It doesn't say Americans, it says persons.
- 2:07:37Speaker 1: Yeah, this is an argument you have made many, many
- 2:07:39Speaker 1: times over the years with regard to.
- 2:07:41Speaker 8: Exact consargment that this is an argument that gets under
- 2:07:45Speaker 8: the skin of a lot of people that otherwise agree
- 2:07:48Speaker 8: with you and me on political matters, or of the
- 2:07:53Speaker 8: belief that the Constitution does not protect foreign person to
- 2:07:56Speaker 8: protect everybody that's here. Well, obviously when they wrote it,
- 2:08:01Speaker 8: they didn't intend for it to protect slaves or Native Americans.
- 2:08:07Speaker 8: But if you were French and you came to the
- 2:08:10Speaker 8: United States and you bought a farm, you're protected by
- 2:08:16Speaker 8: assist Amendment and the Fourth Amendment in seventeen ninety one.
- 2:08:22Speaker 1: Right, Some of the opposition to requiring a judicial warrant
- 2:08:25Speaker 1: is the idea that you actually have to go in
- 2:08:27Speaker 1: front of a judge who and present probable cause. I'm
- 2:08:31Speaker 1: going to guess and just spring from the proposition that
- 2:08:33Speaker 1: probable costs might not be that difficult if they have
- 2:08:36Speaker 1: records documenting improving it's an illegal immigrant that that person,
- 2:08:39Speaker 1: let's say, is locked up in jail and committed to crime.
- 2:08:41Speaker 1: Whatever the basis for it, whate would serves probable cost.
- 2:08:44Speaker 1: They could probably do it. But I think the pushback
- 2:08:47Speaker 1: is that it's going to bog down the courts, which
- 2:08:51Speaker 1: isn't really an argument when it comes to constitutional principles.
- 2:08:55Speaker 8: No, not at all. The Constitution is an intentional obstacle
- 2:09:00Speaker 8: to the government. If we learned anything in the Minneapolis
- 2:09:05Speaker 8: Maelstrom it is that the government cannot be relied on
- 2:09:10Speaker 8: to follow constitutional principles, and Madison knew that, which is
- 2:09:14Speaker 8: why he inserted the judiciary between the government and its targets.
- 2:09:19Speaker 8: It's slow, it's cumbersome, but it guarantees human freedom. It's
- 2:09:23Speaker 8: because the basic principle of the Constitution is that the
- 2:09:27Speaker 8: individual is sovereign and not the state. The individual has
- 2:09:32Speaker 8: natural rights and the government only has the authority that
- 2:09:35Speaker 8: we have consented for it to have. Yes, sir, that's
- 2:09:38Speaker 8: pretty basic.
- 2:09:39Speaker 1: Brian takes us right back to the Constitution, most doubly
- 2:09:43Speaker 1: the Bill of Rights. See judging Napolitano, just spelling out
- 2:09:47Speaker 1: for us. People may feel feel free to disagree, but
- 2:09:50Speaker 1: I would argue that at least you have the law
- 2:09:52Speaker 1: on your side on this, would judge the politano judging
- 2:09:55Speaker 1: freedom someone else.
- 2:09:57Speaker 8: I have to say a word for our and Congressman
- 2:10:01Speaker 8: Thomas Massey, who day after day after day manifests a
- 2:10:08Speaker 8: profound understanding of the Constitution and a profound sense of
- 2:10:12Speaker 8: personal courage, notwithstanding the horrible statements made about him and
- 2:10:19Speaker 8: his wife I know the United States. For the President
- 2:10:23Speaker 8: of the United States to attack his wife, who is
- 2:10:27Speaker 8: as libertarian as I am, is just absolutely plain wrong,
- 2:10:33Speaker 8: tasteless and offensive and not Presidential's not gonna It's not
- 2:10:39Speaker 8: going to shape. Congressman Massey won this because he is
- 2:10:43Speaker 8: imbued with greatness and strength and backbone that are alien
- 2:10:48Speaker 8: for the Oval office.
- 2:10:49Speaker 1: Indeed both sides of the political spectrum. On top of that,
- 2:10:52Speaker 1: judging up all the time and judging freedom is your podcast?
- 2:10:54Speaker 1: Are you going to be speaking with today the.
- 2:10:57Speaker 8: Great Colonel Douglas McGregor about to how dangerous this flirtation
- 2:11:02Speaker 8: with war in Iran? Truly? Yea of the President's advisors
- 2:11:08Speaker 8: would listen to Colonel McGregory. Surranded by gung ho types
- 2:11:12Speaker 8: who want to invade and the consequences of such an
- 2:11:16Speaker 8: invasion will be catastrophic all over the Middle East.
- 2:11:19Speaker 1: Yep. And that's exactly what Daniel Davis concluded the other
- 2:11:21Speaker 1: day and many other times he's been in my program,
- 2:11:23Speaker 1: judging and Apola Tano God bless you, and I certainly
- 2:11:25Speaker 1: appreciate our friendship and our conversations over the years, looking
- 2:11:28Speaker 1: forward to a lot of them this year. We'll do
- 2:11:30Speaker 1: it again next Wednesday, and I hope between now and
- 2:11:32Speaker 1: then you have a safe and healthy week.
- 2:11:35Speaker 8: Back at you, Brian, Thank you all the best.

- 2:12:16Speaker 1: here you can feel free to call I get a
- 2:12:17Speaker 1: few minutes here towards the end of the show five three, seven, four, nine, fifty,
- 2:12:20Speaker 1: eight hundred and eighty two to three talk Ton five
- 2:12:22Speaker 1: fifty on AT and T Funds. I know the whole
- 2:12:24Speaker 1: lot going on in the world today, but of course
- 2:12:26Speaker 1: the most important news story of the morning, A Doberman
- 2:12:31Speaker 1: pincher named Penny won the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.
- 2:12:37Speaker 1: I know that's me. I love Doberman. It's just great
- 2:12:39Speaker 1: to see a Doberman win. I'm always pulling for the Dobermans.
- 2:12:43Speaker 1: This is the fifth Doverman to win, and Penny the
- 2:12:46Speaker 1: doverermin who won competing against twenty five hundred dogs and
- 2:12:50Speaker 1: more than two hundred breeds, and of course the Doberman
- 2:12:52Speaker 1: came out on top. Good job, Penny. Anyhow, how about
- 2:12:59Speaker 1: this one? Y'all know Massachusetts congresswoman are Aana Presley, don't you?
- 2:13:07Speaker 1: What are the squad members it's kind of like an
- 2:13:11Speaker 1: Alexander or Kasia Cortes story. You're making one seventy five,
- 2:13:16Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars a year as
- 2:13:20Speaker 1: a member of the House of Representatives, and of course
- 2:13:25Speaker 1: it translates to more than that, because who in the
- 2:13:27Speaker 1: House of Representatives ever pays for their own meal. Yeah,
- 2:13:31Speaker 1: there's a lobbying firm out in your in your lobby
- 2:13:33Speaker 1: that would love to take you out to lunch or
- 2:13:35Speaker 1: dinner or maybe even both, so you don't have any
- 2:13:37Speaker 1: food expenses, so lower overhead. But how do you turn
- 2:13:40Speaker 1: minus twelve thousand, five hundred dollars into eight million dollars
- 2:13:46Speaker 1: in basically six years? Well, I asked Massachusetts Congresswoman Ariana
- 2:13:50Speaker 1: Ayana Presley Corner report Fox News reporting on this, She's
- 2:13:56Speaker 1: gone from a negative net worth when elected and now
- 2:14:00Speaker 1: has assets up to eight million dollars. All right, rewind
- 2:14:04Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, that was when she was running for Congress.
- 2:14:07Speaker 1: She had to do her financial disclosures. She was worth
- 2:14:09Speaker 1: at that time minus twelve five hundred dollars and had
- 2:14:12Speaker 1: limited assets meaning you know, real estate. If she had it,
- 2:14:15Speaker 1: she would have had to report it. Corn of Fox
- 2:14:17Speaker 1: News reporting jumped to twenty twenty four the disclosure she
- 2:14:20Speaker 1: just filed this year. She now reports assets value between
- 2:14:24Speaker 1: one million and eight million dollars, which includes also Martha's
- 2:14:27Speaker 1: vineyard rental property worth up to five million dollars. Multiple
- 2:14:30Speaker 1: Boston rental properties valued up to one million dollars each.
- 2:14:34Speaker 1: Huh Even twenty nineteen, Shirly reported one Boston property. Now,
- 2:14:39Speaker 1: I asked yourself, how does a congress and congressional salary
- 2:14:42Speaker 1: again one seventy four result in that some suggest it's
- 2:14:47Speaker 1: her husband. Get a load of this. Tell me if
- 2:14:50Speaker 1: you don't say Shenanigan's out loud here three days before
