  Speaker 2: 55KRC, the talk station. Happy Wednesday. Listen to lunch Wednesday. Sugar,
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: you was a baby. Call Kenny Loggins because you're in
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: the danger zone. Yes, indeed. Brian Thomas right here. Glad
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: to be. Glad to see Joe Stricker, executive producer where
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: he belongs, as I always like to point out, in
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: the executive producer booth. And lining up guests here for
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: the 55KRC morning show. It's Wednesday. Stating again, the obvious.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Listener lunch Wednesday. Stating again, it's at Turf Club. Hope
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: to see you at the Turf Club again. Thank you
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: to the Turf Club for opening early on a Wednesday.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Not typically open for lunch on Wednesday. Going to enjoy
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: myself a big old burger and some of those awesome
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: onion rings. Boy, I love those onion rings. Anyhow, if
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: you haven't been to Turf Club, use today as an
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: opportunity to show up. Or if you haven't been to
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Listener Lunch, the fellowship is wonderful. The listeners are fantastic.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I have the best listening audience in radio. Absolutely believe that.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: And thanks to the listener who sent Cribbage Mike. If
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: you're out there, my submariner friend got a mug coming
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: your way. One of the listeners, I guess, saw a
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: mug which refers to submariners. It's really comical. It came
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: in yesterday, so just a nice little gift. See, great
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: listening audience. Submariner Mike, Submariner Mike, kind of a celebrity
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: in his own right. Big picture with Jack Atherton. Speaking
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: of celebrities, Jack Atherton. Coming up at 7.05, we always
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: get the big picture with Jack every Wednesday at 7.05.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Today's topic, Karl Marx football predictions. From each according to
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: his ability to each according to his need in the
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: world of football. Maybe... We'll get Jack to break it
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: down at 7.05, followed, as always, by Donald O'Neill from
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Americans for Prosperity. He is going to be joined today
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: by Americans for Prosperity's political director, Tim Ross. We'll have
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: some candidate endorsements from AFP. And continuing a theme here
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: that Tom Zalastowski is talking about every single week, hold
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: your nose and vote Republican. Wish we didn't have to
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: hold our nose along those lines. Hey, can I ask
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: a question out loud? 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK, pound 550 on AT &
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: T phones. Where in the hell is Mitch McConnell? Joe,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: have you seen him? No, you haven't, have you?
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Huh.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Some interesting reporting on his wife. We'll get to that
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: later in the program. Someone over the other day, Fox
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: News host Joe Concha, said out loud on television that
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Over the show, the big weekend show on Fox News,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: he's demanded Mitch McConnell return to office or quit. If
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: he does not come back in September, he needs to
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: step down. How many months has it been since we've
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: heard from him directly? That's a quote from Joe Concho
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: over on Fox News, out loud, just a day or
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: two ago. Legitimate question, I would argue. Where in the
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: hell is Mitch McConnell?
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Anyone?
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Anyone? Anyhow, Donald Neal, State Director, and Tim Ross, the
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: AFP Political Director. 7.30 for that one. Cool. Check this out.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: It's been too long. I don't care what anybody says.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I'm a huge fan and always will be a Congressman
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Thomas Massey. You can call him Dr. No or Mr.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: No or he didn't accomplish anything. He knew what he did.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: He forced a lot of people to stare themselves in
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: the mirror and question their own, well, ethics, morality, and
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: questioned their own oath of office, swearing to uphold the
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Constitution of the United States of America. Thomas Massey understands
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: the Constitution and is one of the few elected officials
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: ever to stand, well, behind it or next to it
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: in support of what he has argued for and advocated
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: for during his career, which is going to be over shortly.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: We all know, outcome of election. We'll talk about the
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: anti-flock camera legislation. We will talk about the Prime Act, which,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: of course, we need to pass. And Epstein Files 2.0,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: release the Epstein Files. He did it once, passed that
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: almost unanimously through Congress, signed into law by President Trump.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Why do we need a release the Epstein Files second bill?
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I can't wait for Massie to explain that one to
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: me and us collectively because I have no idea what
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: the problem is behind the scenes. Remember, Trump campaigned on
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: releasing the documents. And how did things get flipped around?
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: How did this become a bipartisan opposition releasing the Epstein files? Well,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: maybe because everybody's implicated. Good. So what? Should you or
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I as constituents just sort of ignore the reality of
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: it because our people are implicated or referenced even? Their
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: people are implicated or referenced. Isn't this information we all
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: should know and be entitled to? Why is it being
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: withheld from us? Oh, parenthetically, in so far as the
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: flock camera discussion with Congressman Massey, anti-flock legislation, Lebanon City
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Council voted yesterday to remove the 20 flock safety automatic
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: license plate readers they have in their city limits. Obviously,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: this is a growing trend to get rid of flock.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Also a growing trend, people's opposition to artificial intelligence. Go ahead.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Be opposed to it. I'm opposed to the concept of
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: artificial intelligence, but I can't be opposed to the reality
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: of it. Here it is. It's in front of us.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: And go ahead. You hate it here? You want to
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: repeal the tax breaks, which Wall Street Journal reported on?
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: A lot of states, including Ohio, I think Governor Wein
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: issued some sort of moratorium on tax breaks going to
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: artificial intelligence centers. Tax breaks that were put in place
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: back in 2015, which led to Ohio being one of
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: the biggest destinations for data center development. We've benefited a
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: lot by the data centers being here now that they're
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: a bad thing. People suggest it's the power and water use.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: I think it's more of the reality setting in on
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: what AI can do and what it is doing and
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: how blank and creepy it is. And that's the part
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: that I hate. But I'm not dumb enough to believe
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: that I can stop it from happening. So the question
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: then becomes, as it always has been, who's going to
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: control it? Us or the Chinese Communist Party? And will
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: things be better if we abdicate responsibility for AI development
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: over the CCP? Is that going to result in your
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: job being safe? Of course not. Got to control it.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: That's what it's all about. So that's a topic conversation
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: with Congressman Massey. Again, that's at 805. So if you
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: know where Mitch McConnell is, please give me a call.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Anything else you want to talk about, you can do
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: that as well. 55k or c.iheart.com is where you'll find
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Podcasts like the Daniel Davis Deep Dive, Tom Zawistowski, speaking
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: of which, wethepeopleconvention.org. It's there. And the Smith event. Smith event.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Amy Acton unfit to serve. Has anybody questioned what happened
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: the other day at the Democrat campaign event with Amy Acton?
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I know Jack Windsor from the Howe Press Network, who
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: joins the program every Friday at 8.30, has commented on
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: that on his page and up. The reporting is all
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: over the place. Two people knocked down, three people knocked down.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Nobody references who knocked them down. Some say that the
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: guy that was arrested knocked them down. Others are silent
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: on that. Different reports about what weapons he had on
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: of them. None of them drawn. Some reports he had
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: a taser. Others just say he had firearms. Brass knuckles
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: reported in some articles and not others. And where is
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: the video? Now, Jack Windsor has already requested an open
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: records request for the cameras from the police officers, the
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Ohio State Patrol officers that were there. Apparently, Amy Acton
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: had instructed the crowd not to record things going on.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I know that that raises some sort of conspiracy theories
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: out there. Well, if there's no video, then Amy Acton's
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: recitation of the events can, well, stand the test of
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: her recitation of the events rather than what actually happened.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Somebody's got video, like the guy who was arrested holding
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: his cell phone camera up, moving through the crowd, apparently
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: in an effort to ask her a question. So, but
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: I think ultimately the point on Amy Acton, whether or
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: not that is some sort of attack on her or
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: just some random dude being targeted to suggest an attack
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: on Amy Acton by some evil Republican forces. She's still hiding.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: She will not answer questions. She will not debate Vivek Ramaswamy.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: She will not. Listen, it's just awful. And that she
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: has any traction whatsoever with that posture is just really,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: I'll call it heartbreaking. I mean, you can look to
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden. At least, you know, he sort of kind
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: of got away with it in the 2020 election simply because, well, COVID.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: You could make the argument anyway. Well, he's an elderly man.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: We don't want him to get sick.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Whatever.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: But at least you could tenuously cling to this new
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: phenomenon called COVID-19. And yeah, we apparently, with hindsight, overreacted
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Amy lockdown acting. But she doesn't have that going for her,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: does she? I think the only conclusion one can reach
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: insofar as Amy acting relative to Vivek Ramaswamy is she
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: is a coward. A coward. You can sum it up
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: in your own way. But she's a politician. She wants
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: to be the governor of the state of Ohio. She's
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: going to have massive decision making. She's going to be
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: on the national stage. There are going to be opportunities
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: or there are going to be times when Amy Acton
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: is going to have to address the press and answer
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: questions on the fly. That's exactly what her debate is
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: all about. Why is she being so cowardice? Why is
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: she a coward? 515 right now, 55KRC, the talk station.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Plenty to talk about coming up. Hope you can stick
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: around or give me a call. I'll be right back.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: 55KRC.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Our iHeartRadio music. Joe, it looks like George is number one.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, the call screen was reduced on my browser,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: so I didn't see callers there. George, welcome to the program.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Thanks for calling this morning.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: Oh, my pleasure. I want to point out the similarities
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: between the pseudo-assault on Ilhan Omar as well as compared
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: with that of Amy Acton in the Omar assault. That
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: dropped out of the news cycle very quickly after a
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: photo surfaced of Elon and her assaulter in a more
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: congenial setting. I'm not saying that this is happening again,
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: but I will say.
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: It's very odd how quickly.
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: the Omar assault dropped out of the news cycle.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: It is rather shocking, isn't it, George? And I suspect,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: in spite of the fact that Amy Atkins apparently addressed
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: the crowd and told them not to video the speech
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: she was giving, something tells me there's probably video out
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: there of it. Right?
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't be surprised.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: And then she'll probably run around and say it's artificial
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: intelligence or something. I have my popcorn out and I'm
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: willing to wait for a similar outcome, George, because I
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: believe that's the direction it's going. Oh, my God, it's
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: an evil Republican attacking the Democrat in order to get
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: some sort of traction where Amy Acton can't get any traction,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: at least on the issues, because she won't talk about him.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Thank you, George. I appreciate that. Who's next? Joe Strecker.
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: Pat.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Pat, welcome to the show. Happy Wednesday.
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: Oh, Brian, I want to just say the power of prayer.
• 11:46
  Speaker 7: I pray for the children as I pray for you
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: and Joe. But to find these kids, it was a
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: prayer answered. Seventy-nine children were found. So if people don't
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: believe in the power of prayer, and even if you
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: can't or know any prayer, talk to God. We got
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: to save our kids. But anyway, Brian, you have a
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: nice day, hon.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Pat, you do the same, and I certainly appreciate your
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: sentiments along those lines. I think talking to God's important.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: You can't lie to God, can you? This is why
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: I think prayer is beneficial, even if you are a
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: nonbeliever from a religious standpoint, you know, doctrine and dogma.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Maybe just believe in a God. If God can see
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: all and know all You can't hide behind your nonsensical BS,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: somebody else's fault arguments now, can you? Just saying, this
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: is how I approach prayer personally. It forces introspection. Carl,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: welcome to the program and happy Wednesday to you, sir.
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: Happy Wednesday. Say, I have a public service announcement for
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: everyone regarding the absentee ballot application that was mailed out
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: by Frank LaRose. Line item six requests your identification, and
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: it says provide one of the following. A, write in
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: the last four digits of your Social Security number. B,
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: write in your Ohio driver's license number or state ID
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: card number. C, a copy of a different form of
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: current photo identification, a driver's license, state ID card, or
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: interim ID form issued by an Ohio BMV.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: U.S.
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: Passport or passport card, or U.S. military card, military dependent card,
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: Ohio national ID card, or U.S. Veterans Affairs ID card.
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: And the copy of the photo ID must contain images
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: of the front and back, except for a passport, which
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: must include the passport's identification page. Now, this wording is
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: a little bit ambiguous to me and may lead some
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: people to be a little bit confused. If you read
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: too much into it, it's ambiguous. If you don't read enough,
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: you're not going to understand it. And if you listen
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: to the ACLU and Democrats saying, oh, my gosh, oh,
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: my gosh, they're requiring me to give them my Ohio
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: driver's license number and they're requiring me to submit a
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: photo identification of the driver's license. Well, I called the
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: local Hamilton County Board of Elections yesterday and they said, no,
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: if you give them Your Ohio driver's license number or
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: state ID, car number, or Social Security number, you do
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: not have to give them another form of identification.
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: Now, the Summit County Board of Elections, that's up around Akron, Ohio,
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: they go a little bit further. They had a pretty
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: good Facebook post out there a week ago where they
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: show what you have to do in photos. One thing
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: that they mentioned was if a driver's license says non-citizen,
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: then additional proof of citizenship is required, such as certificate
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: of naturalization, certificate of citizenship, consular report of birth abroad,
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: or certification of report of birth. Now, in the original
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: bill that was proposed by, I believe it was House
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: Bill 472, which was vetoed by Congress, Mike DeWine. It
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: was in there. And it said that libraries and BMVs
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: must provide copies free of charge. And I asked a
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: librarian over the weekend if they had been given any
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: direction as to whether or not copies would be provided
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: free of charge. And she said, no, there was no
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: direction given by the government. However, here in Hamilton County,
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: They will make copies for you free of charge, and
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: they've got a fairly good copy machine at some of
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: the libraries here that will copy the front and back
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: of a photo ID and keep it front and back.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Well, I appreciate you running all that down, Carl. You
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: get the impression that it's that we collectively i suppose
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: are making this more difficult than it needs to be
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: i mean i a state issued identification it has never
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: crossed my mind i would need anything more than my
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: driver's license walk in and cast a vote that's the
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: way it's been now there are other obviously you read
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: off a whole bunch of other legitimate forms of id
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: but did it ever cross anybody's mind to be in
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: spite of the language there that you read that we
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: needed more than one.
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: Um Just just the way that it was.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. But I mean, again, going back to
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: is this unnecessarily complicated? If you didn't get the sheet
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: that you just read from, wouldn't you just showed up
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: in November and cast your vote with your photo ID
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: and not even given it a second thought?
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Right. Yeah.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: In-person voting starts October 6th through November.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: I know there's early voting. I'm just, you know, from
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: a traditional standpoint, you know, it's easy to vote. Right.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, we've all got that figured out. It's easy
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: to register. It's easy to vote. There's nothing racial about it.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: There's nothing complicated about it. It's simple. Get a state
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: issued ID or federal, a federal passport or whatever. You're done. Period.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Go vote and hold your nose and vote for Republicans.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Carl. Appreciate for clearing up any confusion that
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: may exist among my listening audience, but since I have
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: the smartest listening audience around, I know none of you
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: have any problem casting a vote. Trying to get the
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: brain firing on all cylinders. I think I have a
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: timing issue going on this morning. Let's go to the phone,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: take the weight off of me, and let's see what
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Tom has to say this morning. Tom, happy Wednesday.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: Hey, good morning. Glad I could help.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Appreciate it.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: Um.
• 17:33
  Speaker 8: No, it's good stuff.
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, my wife and I are going to do the
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: FNC ballot thing this year because we're likely going to
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: be in Florida at my next job location early November.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: You're going to Florida to work?
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah. Say a prayer for me. I'm going to
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: have to spend the winter in the panhandle of Florida.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Aw.
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: Hopefully, I know. Hopefully, it won't be too bad. Yeah,
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: I'm getting transferred down to Florida to do a job
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: down there. So I'll be all right there. But, yeah,
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: I'm here until, like, end of this month and then
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: head down there.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Say goodbye to Indianapolis.
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, there's lots of things I won't miss, but
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: there's definitely things I will.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: Man, there is a Brazilian steakhouse out here that is absolutely, oh,
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: it's so great. It is absolutely, if anybody is in
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: the area, the northern part of Indianapolis, give me a call.
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you exactly how to get to it. All right.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: So good. Anyway, we're going to do the FC ballot.
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: So we were held over the weekend, and we got
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: ours in the mail, so we filled it out. And
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: as Carl's reading it, and thank you, Carl, for all
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: the information that you are calling in with.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: Very, very helpful. But as I'm reading it, one of
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: the lines that he didn't mention that, They want you
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: to give them your date of birth. And right after
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: it says date of birth, in parentheses, it says, not
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: today's date. Well, yeah. Because down the floor, this is
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: an official state of Ohio or whatever, state of Ohio
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: or Hamilton County. This is an official document.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: The first thing that popped in my mind is the
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: allergy labels. You've got a carton of eggs, and it
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: says contains eggs. Hey, thanks for that, buddy. Appreciate that.
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: And the reason is, Brian, because there's two reasons. One,
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: there's a lot of stupid people out there.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: That is true.
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: And they don't pay attention. they don't care enough to
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: read thoroughly and make sure, you know, and then the
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: other thing is it it kind of along with that
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: it doesn't take much to confuse people and and one
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: slight little change and they start asking 10,000 questions uh
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: so yeah it's it's unfortunate um that that we have
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: that going on but basically I and I understand this
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: concept You've got to go through and you've got to
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: think of any possible way somebody could be confused or
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: misunderstand your instructions when you're giving them. I mean, I
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: talk to people daily. Here's what you need to do.
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: This is what you need to do it with. And
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: I need to sit there and think, all right, what
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: could possibly go wrong here? What could they misunderstand?
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: So I'm drawing pictures, and I'm repeating it and all that.
• 20:30
  Speaker 8: Why?
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: Because I need to walk away and go tell somebody
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: else what to do, and I need to know that
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: you knew what I just said.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: It's called covering your own butt there, Tom.
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's crazy, but that's kind of what we're dealing with.
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: And unfortunately, we've got way too many people who are
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: voting for Democrats, and that just spells stupidity. I don't
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: understand it. I don't get it. So that's why every
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: day I do my best to tell people, don't vote Democrat.
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: Have a good day.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Thanks, Tom. Good luck with the new gig, man. Hope
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: to still hear from you when you're down in Florida. Yeah,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: referencing to the story that Pat referenced, the U.S. Marshals
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: announced yesterday that it found 79 missing children. Operation Meridian.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: That operation conducted throughout August, along with federal, state, local
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: agencies located to recover these 79 reported missing and endangered children.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: between the ages of 6 and 17. They focus on
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: children reported missing due to a range of circumstances, suspected
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: sex trafficking, physical and emotional abuse, neglect, runaway children, other
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: forms of endangerment. There is a horrific story here. Not
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: a whole lot of details, but marshals working across jurisdictional lines,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: including all the way down to Georgia. Marshals work with
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: the Columbus Police Department. Here's one I was talking about.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Described as a long-term missing child case involving two sisters
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: aged 13 and 16, reported missing in July of 24
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: and April of this year. News release said law enforcement
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: found the 13-year-old girl concealed in a basement crawl space
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: hidden in the floor of a bedroom closet. This at
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: a home in Lockbourne. Marshall said the mother girl was
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: arrested for an outstanding warrant through Franklin County for a
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: probation violation. During the recovery and arrest, officers learned more
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: about a second missing girl, later found at a restaurant
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: in Harrisburg, Pike, and Columbus. Agents from the U.S. Housing
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: and Urban Development assisted the operation across the state as well.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Toledo police, along with U.S. Marshals, investigated after a 16-year-old girl,
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: previously reported as a victim of human trafficking, reported missing
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: in August of this year. They tracked leads of the
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Toledo area, Michigan, eventually gathering information about an adult male
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: the girl may be with. They found both the girl
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: and the man in an address in Toledo. Girl was
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: given medical care and taken to the hospital for medical evaluation.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Man was interviewed on the scene. Local law enforcement investigating
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: potential criminal activity. And they're all, and you know, salute
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: to all of these law enforcement agencies, to all the DSA,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: bat crap, insane loonies of the world. Yeah, let's get
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: rid of police. Let's get rid of the criminal justice system.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Let's let the human trafficking of six-year-olds continue unabated. You
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: don't believe me? Read their damn platform. And again, salute

• 24:11
  Speaker 2: talk station. I got some stack of stupid coming your way.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Talk station. It is 541 here, 55KRC, the talk station. Wednesday.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Listener Lunch Wednesday. Turf Club. 55KRC. iheart. com. Blog page. And phone calls,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: if you'd like to give me a call, that's great.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: And otherwise, back to the stack of stupid. We go
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: to St. Louis, Missouri, where a disagreement between some woman
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: and folks described as associated with Jimmy Johns. This one
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: near St. Louis University campus. Sadly, it ended with a
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: 14-year-old getting shot in the leg. 14 years old. Corner
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department. 6 p.m. right around.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Officers were called to the intersection of Vanaventer and La Cede,
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: La Clede, anyway. That's the intersection where they found a
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: 14-year-old girl inside a car with a gunshot wound. Police
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: investigating the connection between the mother and the restaurant. Mom
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: was there. At one point, mom's boyfriend showed up at
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: the restaurant with a 14-year-old. Hmm. According to police, 27-year-old
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: man and a 38-year-old man were arrested. Specifically... Adam White, 27,
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: charged with four counts of armed criminal action, two counts
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: of first-degree assault, and one count of first-degree assault on
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: a special victim. I imagine that will be the age
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: of the child. One count of unlawful use of a
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: weapon and a count of endangering the welfare of a child.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: There's your counts. Police say the investigation found that White, yes,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: worked at Jimmy John's, got into an argument with a
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: woman who used to work at the restaurant. There apparently
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: is your connection. Argument continued into the parking lot. where
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: the woman and White kept arguing. That's, I guess, around
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: the time the boyfriend and her teen daughter showed up. Anyway,
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: they were there during the argument. When the woman got
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: into her car with her boyfriend and the child and
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: began driving away, White started firing shots at the back
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: of the car, one of which hit the teen in
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: the leg. Amen, Joe Strecker. They took off and went
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: to another location. Police found them. White Well, where they went,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: White had already left that scene, but later did return
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: and was then taken into custody. He was read his rights,
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: and he admitted then to shooting at the car. He
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: also said he left the gun at his house. Obviously
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: not in Hamilton County, Ohio. He's being held with no bond.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: They would have given him juice and a cookie and
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: let him go in Hamilton County. Can I put a
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: plug in for Judge Lucan, or Magistrate Lucan for Juvenile Court?
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: Judge Joe, can I do that? Oh, look, I just did.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Boat looking. Reading Township Police asking the public to help
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: identify a man who repeatedly rides an electric bike naked.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Why are you doing that? I don't know. They'll never
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: find out.
• 27:01
  Speaker 9: Me.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Man's been spotted multiple times riding this electric bike on
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: local trails, wearing, according to the police in their Facebook post, quote,
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: considerably less safety equipment than we would recommend. Close quote. Phrasing.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: At least they have a sense of humor about it.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: It's a picture of this guy, too. Anyway, officers, they
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: say they received reports about this guy over the past
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: several years. And spotted again recently, at which point the
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: police did obtain a photograph. They obscured one particular area
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: of the photograph, I guess, to maintain a sense of
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: decency about this poor guy. Asking anyone who recognized the
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: man to contact the Reading Police. Reddington Township Police Department.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Please close our announcement with another tongue-in-cheek reminder. Helmets are
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: strongly encouraged, and so are pants. 545-55-KRC, the talk station. KRC,
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: the talk station. 550-55-KRC, the talk station. Listener launch Wednesday.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Looking forward to seeing you in Turf Club. And looking
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: forward to diving into this story. It's got all the
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: elements of a stack of stupid. Starting in Florida.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: As is tradition.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Right, Joe. Elizabeth Buescher, she's 24 and she's in hot
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: water facing several felony charges including DUI and battery. After
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: police said she was drunk when she caused a car crash,
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: this is in Daytona Beach, Florida. Now the arrest affidavit
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: says officers from the Daytona Beach Police Department showed up
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: after a report of a crash. Sometime at night on
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: August 30th, dispatchers said the driver allegedly caused a crash,
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: later identified as Boucher, and that she was knocking on
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: doors in the neighborhood before attempting to leave the scene.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Why are you doing that? I don't know that we'll
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: ever find out. Police said Boucher smelled of alcohol. Maybe
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: that's the only reason there, Joe.
• 29:03
  Speaker 8: As is tradition.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Had difficulty standing and was swaying. When asked for a
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: driver's license, she provided a passport, which you can vote with. Thanks, Carl.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: What was that, Joe? Oh, you think she was doing
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: her Amy Acton impression? That's certainly possible, Joe. They didn't
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: interview or ask her about that, though. Anyway, she gave
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: her the passport, and then she was asked for a
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: driver's license again. That's when she handed the officer her purse.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: Officers asked for her to provide the driver's license. She
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: allegedly then stated, she was hot and tried to get
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: in the police vehicle. I don't know if that was
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: temperature hot or that she herself is smoking hot, although
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: the photograph suggests that she is the latter. Looks kind
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: of like a young Michelle Pfeiffer. Anyway, according to the affidavit,
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: she told police she was, quote, never going to get
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: pulled over again, close quote. And at that time, the
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: police said, well, you weren't pulled over. Police informed her
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: that she had been in a crash and that she
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: reportedly appeared surprised learning about that. She then asked the
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: officer to bring her to her vehicle after all the
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: other officers left, her words. Another officer made contact with
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: the owner of the car who lived in the house nearby.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: This is on video showing this woman just plowing into
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: the car that's parked on the street. A woman came
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: outside to confront Buescher. She told police she saw Buescher
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: get out of a Ford Bronco from the passenger side,
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: then go around and try to get back in on
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: the driver's side. The woman stopped Buescher from leaving, which
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: led to an argument. Buescher got out of a Bronco,
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: then allegedly struck the woman on the side of the
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: face with a closed fist. That woman allegedly pushed Buescher
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: in the face, sending her falling to the ground. Buescher
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: then got up, allegedly followed the woman up to her
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: front porch, where she attempted to hit her again, but
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: was shoved back down by the woman. When she was arrested,
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Buescher allegedly refused to speak with the police and did
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: not submit to a breath test. She allegedly attempted to
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: walk away from the officers. There it is, Joe. She tried.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: And resisted being taken into custody. Body camera video released
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: by the Daytona Police Department Shows Buscher saying to the officers,
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: I thought we were all friends. Charged with DUI, property damage,
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: resisting an officer without violence, battery, and possession of a
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Schedule II substance released from jail, scheduled to appear in
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: court October 21st if you're in the area.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: The aristocrats.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, Anthony Hall. This is from the BBC, and this
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: is in, I believe, Britain. It doesn't matter. It's the
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: substance of the article that really counts. Anthony Hall, who
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: does not have a driver's license, was stopped by police
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: on the M6 after he was seen swerving in his
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: Vauxhall Mervia, or Mareeva, between lanes and onto the shoulder.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Hall told police he'd driven from his home in Huddersfield
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: After he and his partner had drunk four bottles of wine,
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Magistrate Court Hurd-Hall admitted to the charges of inducing dangerous
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: driving at a previous hearing and was sentenced to 36
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: weeks in prison, sentenced for 18 months. He admitted to
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: drunk driving, OVI, driving without a license or insurance and
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: taking the car without consent. All right, fine. Police heard
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: the saga of the 29th of June hours. Police received
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: information it was a driver on the M6, under the influence,
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: and reportedly blind.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: What?
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Pulled over by police. Officers stopped him, said he could
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: smell alcohol in his breath. When asked about this, the
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: 50-year-old said he and his partner, again, had been drinking wine.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: He also told the officer he had gone blind about
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: two years ago, but could see some lights. And he
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: explained that While on the motorway, he followed the HGV lights,
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: I guess the street lights. He traveled 150 miles while
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: drunk and blind. He took the car from his partner, again,
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: without permission. Breath Lies by the Side of the Road
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: gave a reading of, I guess it's whatever, 50 micrograms
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: per 100 milliliters. You go ahead and do your metric conversions.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know where that lands in terms of the
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: United States,. 08, but let's face it. The drink driving
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: limit in England and Wales, 35 micrograms, so he is
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: obviously about double. Amazingly, no one was injured. Blind and drunk. 556,
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: or blind drunk. 55-karat CD talk station, plenty to talk about, including,
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: where's Mitch McConnell? And what's with his wife holding Chinese posts,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: working for... I guess appointments from the CCP while serving
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: in the United States Cabinet. Swirling question marks going around
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: that one, notably since Xi, his wife, took off after
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: he went to the hospital to go to China in
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: the immediate days after his hospitalization. Whose wife does that? Well,
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: don't go away. I've got more than that to talk about.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: I'll be right back.
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: Here we are.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: It's not just that you shouldn't. 606 on a Wednesday
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: and a very happy Wednesday to you. Extra special Wednesday.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: It's Listener Lunch Wednesday. Going to be at Turf Club today.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: The Turf Club, Eastern Avenue. It's a great spot. Cool
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: neon and awesome burgers. Subject of opinion mine, but I
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: love that joint. I hope to see you there because
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: I love Listener Lunch. Looking forward to that cribbage game
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: with Mike and the fellowship that always is so wonderful
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: at Listener Lunch. I hope to see you there. Big
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: picture with Jack Atherton. One hour from now, as is
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: the case almost every single Wednesday, we get the blessings
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: and benefit of Jack Atherton's brilliance. Today, his subject matter,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: it sounds hilarious, Karl Marx football predictions. Good morning, Jack.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: Can't wait for this hour to get through so we
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: get to hear from you. Followed by Donald O'Neill, Americans
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: for Prosperity State Director here in Ohio. He's going to
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: be joined today by Americans for Prosperity's political director, his name,
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Tim Ross. They got some candidate endorsements to pass along
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: to us. And yes, it's hold your nose and vote
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: Republican November. Another message consistent with the weekly message from
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Tom Zawistowski and anybody else who's concerned about the direction
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: of this country, the spiraling downward socialism. This is what
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: the left has to offer. Misery, pain, equally shared misery,
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: which is all that socialism brings around. And go ahead,
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: look over history. Why is it that they needed a
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Berlin Wall? We had communists on one side, free people
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: on the other post-World War II. If you remember, no
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: one was trying to break into East Germany. People were
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: trying to break out of East Germany, and they were
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: stopped by barbed wire and bullets. A lot of people
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: wanted to get out of Cuba, too. They don't allow
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: that or provide for that. Go ahead, look throughout history.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: Why is it that people want to get the hell
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: out of socialist-slash-communist countries? Well, you know damn well why.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: Why would you vote for that here? Anyhow, Donovan O'Neill
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: and Tim Ross at 7.30, followed by, I cannot wait,
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: 8.05 with Congressman Thomas Massey. And, you know, just saying
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: his name just brings about a little bit of disappointment
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: and heartbreak, but we've got him until the end of
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: the year, and I'm glad, because today we're going to
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: be talking about all the way the anti-flockhammer legislation. Civil
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: libertarian he is. I think I know what his position
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: is on flock cameras. And I guess Lebanon recently here locally,
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: the city of Lebanon, I guess just yesterday, threw out
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: the flock cameras. They have or had, anyway, 20 flock
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: safety automatic license plate reader cameras. They voted yesterday to
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: stop them. I know the reasons why. And what else
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: are we talking about with Congressman Thomas Massey? The Prime Act,
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: he's been behind that for a long, long time. Plus,
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: why in God's name do we need a second Epstein
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: file law passed? Prior one led by Congressman Thomas Massey,
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: oddly to the chagrin of Donald Trump and other Republicans.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: That's still scratching my head over that one. Anyway, because
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: it went through, thanks to the efforts of Thomas Massey,
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: passed almost unanimously and signed into law by the president.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: So given all of that legislative activity, and there's a
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: law in the books, Why did Congressman Massey have to
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: introduce Epstein version 2.0, produce the document legislation? Anyhow, where's
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: Mitch McConnell? 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK, pound 550 on AT & T phones.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: And you say, well, Thomas, why are you taking time
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: to pick on a Republican? He's not even running for re-election.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: Because we should expect more on the conservative side of
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: the ledger than we get from the Democrats. This is
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: kind of standard run-of-the-mill behavior for Democrats, playing fast and
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: loose with the Raws and You know, I cannot abide.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: And then there's this. Daily Caller investigation. Saw this yesterday,
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: my mouth fell open. His wife, you remember her, Elaine Chao.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: She was the Transportation Secretary at one point. According to
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: the Daily Caller, she was appointed to several positions by
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: the Chinese government. not just Chinese government entities, but also
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: organizations tied to the Chinese Communist Party, overlapping with her
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: service in two U.S. cabinet positions. So Mitch McConnell's wife
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: served as Labor Secretary under George W. Bush and Transportation
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: Secretary during Trump's first administration. The Daily Caller reporting cited
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: translations of Chinese government and state media reports, which said
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: that Elaine Chao, FKA Zhao Xiaolan, Mitch McConnell's wife, received
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: three positions connected to arms of the CCP United Front
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: Work Department. Yes, they have one of those. The UFWD,
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: along with an international advisory post in the Wuhan municipal government.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: Just a coincidence, it happened to be Wuhan. Anyway, United
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: Front apparatus apparently used by Beijing to conduct influence operation
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: and advance Chinese Communist Party objective abroad. That, according to
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: the U.S. government assessment cited by the Daily Caller in
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: its reporting about her involvement in these organizations and entities. Now,
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: give him his due. Patrick O'Connor has been identified as
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: Elaine Chao, Mitch McConnell's wife's spokesperson. He said she has
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: never held a position with a foreign government or acted
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: on behalf of one. We are not aware she has
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: met with representatives from the UFWD entities. That's a quote.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: We are not aware. Is that him and the mouse
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: in his pocket? Is it him and Elaine Chao? He's
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: the spokesperson for, I don't know. But whoever we is
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: in his statement, not specifically identified, but they collectively are
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: not aware. Anyway, he added such a suggestion, disregard, wait
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: for it, folks. disregards her nearly five decades of faithful
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: service to the United States. Pause for a moment, and
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's any connection with her faithful service
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: to the United States. This is separate reporting about her
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: apparent connection with Chinese government entities and organizations affiliated with
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: the Chinese Communist Party. Can you live dual lives? Let
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: you draw your own conclusions based upon her record. Anyway,
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: like I said, wait for it. And regarding these, this
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: reporting is both unfounded and deeply insulting, hurtful, and what's next? Right, racist.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: Sure it is. Daily Caller said it's finding raised questions
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: about her disclosures before she became Trump's transportation secretary. According
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: to the outlet, She did not disclose these alleged Chinese
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: positions during her January 2017 Senate confirmation hearings, despite being
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: required to list positions she has held during the previous
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: 10 years. That will be within this time frame. Among
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: the appointments identified in this Daily Call report in December 2008,
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: decision by the J. Ding branch of the China Overseas
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: Friendship Association, which named both Elaine Chao and her father,
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: James Chow, honorary chairman of its third council, or chairwoman,
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: as the case may be. At the time, she was
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: serving as labor secretary. The reported relationship continued after she
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: left the Bush administration. Chinese reports, again, these are translated
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: reports the Daily Caller poured through, later identified Chow and
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: her father as advisors to the group's fourth council, which
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: ran from 2012 to 2017. So that's back-to-back council appointments.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: It also overlapped with the beginning of her transportation department tenure.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: According to the reporting from Daily Caller, a United Front
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: League organization also reportedly gave her a role. They report
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: that the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, that is
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: an entity, appointed her to an advisor and committee membership
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: between 2012 and 2017. According to reports, that organization promotes
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: Beijing's narrative, strengthens party support, and sometimes conducts influence and
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: intelligence operations. All right, that's cozy, isn't it? Chinese government
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: and state media reports said she, Zhao, was tapped as
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: an international advisor to the Wuhan municipal government in October
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: of 2009. Now, her spokesperson disputed the characterization, saying that
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: she was unaware that she even received the titles. He
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: said she has received numerous honorary titles and recognition and, quote,
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: was unaware of the title bestowed to her in part
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: because she's not fluent in Chinese, close quote. Daily Caller, however,
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: had something to hang its hat on in connection with
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: that allegation. Contemporaneous Chinese reporting, specifically during a 2010 Chinese
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: language interview, her dad reportedly said, quote, In fact, Zhao Lan,
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: meaning her, and I are both advisors to the municipal
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: government of Wuhan, Yubai, and city in central China. Close quote.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: O'Connor also accused the caller of applying a double standard
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: to Zhao, saying he's discovered most of her professional life.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: She's devoted rather most of her professional life to serving
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: the American people and to question her patriotism is a
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: double standard at best. And there it is again, the
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: R word. Racist at Worst. Daily Call a Racist because
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: they translated Chinese document, which seemed to support the conclusion
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: that Mitch McConnell's wife was working for the Chinese Communist
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: Party or at least entities affiliated with it. Can I
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: ask a question out loud? How in God's name is
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: that racist? Seems to me it's racist to call it racist.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: You're pointing to her ethnicity and not to the underlying
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: factual allegations. Or allegations. 616 right now. 55KRC, the talk station.
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: Talk station. It is 621. Count up at 622. 55KRC,
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: the talk station. Ah, let us see here. You know,
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: I was thinking about this hold your nose and vote
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: Republican sort of summarization of the topic. We're going to
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: be talking about Donovan O'Neill of AFP as well as
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: the AFP political director, Tim Ross, coming up at 730.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: Is it so difficult in the face of what we
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: are facing here, we collectively are facing as a nation
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: with these leftist Democrat socialists of America and their supporters,
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: which include this Cal State Los Angeles professor, And when
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: you hear the words that this woman uttered in a
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: crowd at this socialist conference in California, I mean, of
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: all things, it's going to be that difficult to get
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: off your butt and vote for a Republican, even though
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: that Republican doesn't represent perfection in your mind when you
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: are faced with the opposition, a collective of big tent
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: Democrats who will not reject and go on record rejecting
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: the leftist ideology these people spout and who embrace the
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: whole concept of getting rid of ICE agents completely. We
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: have laws on the books, and that's what ICE does,
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: enforces the laws on the books. You want to change
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: the law, change the law. But ICE still has to
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: go about and do its work. And you know what?
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: They've been doing a pretty damn good job getting some
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: seriously twisted criminals off the streets of the United States
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: of America. Now, with that out of the way, her
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: name is Melina Abdullah. And this viral video is being circulated.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: Some are suggesting she should be, well... criminally charged for
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: her utterances. You decide for yourself. Speaking to the crowd
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: of this socialist event at the Hilton Garden Inn in Oxnard,
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: the killer ICE agent who we got on good authority
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: is right down the road at the Hilton Garden Inn
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: in Oxnard. I'm sorry, that was where the officer was.
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: I apologize. I thought it was the venue for the
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: socialist meeting. Anyway, his name is Brian Palacios. Brian Palacios.
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: And we'll show you a picture of his pig-ass dick.
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: He's at the Hilton Garden in Oxnard. Sometimes it's just
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: dude as S word. I don't even know what that means.
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: You see the devil right here. F him up. Not
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: the first time she said that. You know that Brian
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: Pellicose may be staying at the Hilton Garden Inn at
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: 2000 Solar Drive down the way. F him up. F
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: him up. I'm sorry. I'm already on the compound word. M-effing-less.
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: We're coming off back Black August. See, again, the insane babble.
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: This is a college professor. And then she goes on
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: to read what is described as some sort of Marxist
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: guerrilla book. Anyway, if you have not read Blood of
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: My Eye, go pick up that book. Not from Amazon.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: Go pick up that book and study guerrilla warfare. Guerrilla
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: warfare means using every single tool in your toolbox, whether
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: it be a powerful ass prayer like Mama Harriet Tubman,
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: whether it be standing in front lines and putting your
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: body on the line like it's necessary in this moment,
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: whether it be giving a dollar, all of those tools
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: are absolutely necessary. So when I say F him up,
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: I say F Brian Pelicos up, who may be staying
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: at the Hilton Garden Inn. When I say F him up,
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: I mean in many ways. They don't get to do
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: this S word invisibly. They don't get to do their
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: dirt in the dark. Shine a light on the M
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: having A word. There should be nowhere that they go
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: where they are comfortable with where they are comfortable, turn up, organize,
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: and win this S-word because we will win this S-word. Well,
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: isn't that just sort of intellectual? I just kind of
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: wonder if any of these people can speak without uttering
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: curse words. But you see the advocacy here? This guy's
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: a cop, basically. And she's telling a crowd of people,
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: I don't think you could be more descriptive or direct
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: than F him up. Especially when she doubles down saying
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: using literally every arsenal in your toolbox, which I would
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: presume includes violence, most notably since she referred to a
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: guerrilla warfare book and telling people to engage in guerrilla warfare. Honestly,
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: I don't think they have the numbers to wage guerrilla warfare. Terrorism, absolutely,
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: but not waging a guerrilla warfare. This is what we
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: are up against in the United States of America. 626
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: right now. And you're going to have to hold your
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: nose to go vote this fall. It is 631. Think
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: about care. See the talk station pointed out all morning
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: and leading up to today. It's listener lunch day. Going
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: to be at the turf club where I hope to see,
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: and I think I'll get a confirmation right now. Cribbage, Mike,
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: my submariner or submariner friend, depending on your pronunciation, both
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: are accurate. Welcome back, Mike. Looking forward to our game today.
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: I hope we're going to be playing today. 1000%.
• 50:00
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: All right. I love hearing that. Fantastic.
• 50:04
  Speaker 8: As a matter of fact, we'll be, uh, uh, playing
• 50:07
  Speaker 8: on a new cribbage board for a one-time event. Uh,
• 50:11
  Speaker 8: Last month, I was fortunate to celebrate my 70th birthday,
• 50:16
  Speaker 8: and my daughter, who's also married to a submariner, so
• 50:19
  Speaker 8: she knows all about cribbage, sent me a Cincinnati Reds
• 50:22
  Speaker 8: edition cribbage board. So I can think of no better
• 50:25
  Speaker 8: way to break it in than our match today. But
• 50:28
  Speaker 8: then next month, we'll shift back to the cribbage mic
• 50:30
  Speaker 8: signature model.
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: That's great, man. I'm, as always, looking forward to it. Oh,
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: and I have a special gift from you, and a
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: shout-out to the listener who sent you a coffee mug.
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: It's a specific... It shows support for the Marines, generally speaking,
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: but a specific extra high designation for people who served
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: on a submarine. That would be you. So I'll bring
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: that with you today. And I got his name and
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: address if you want to get back with him.
• 50:53
  Speaker 8: Oh, absolutely. That is just really wonderful. And just once again,
• 50:57
  Speaker 8: a testament to all of your listeners.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: Amen, brother.
• 51:00
  Speaker 8: Amen. Thanks for what you do.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, my pleasure. I'll see you today at the Turf
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: Club on Eastern Avenue. God bless you, man.
• 51:11
  Speaker 8: As you very well know, I work in the surveillance
• 51:14
  Speaker 8: department at a very well-known gaming establishment in downtown Cincinnati.
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: Use your imagination on that one.
• 51:22
  Speaker 8: There's so many down there. But I am calling in
• 51:27
  Speaker 8: tremendous support of that technology because, and I appreciate what
• 51:31
  Speaker 8: CPD and even Hamilton County just did, that they're putting
• 51:34
  Speaker 8: a pause on it. They're looking at the guardrails because
• 51:37
  Speaker 8: that's what it's all about. It's about accountability. I don't
• 51:41
  Speaker 8: understand this throwing the baby out with the bathwater mentality.
• 51:45
  Speaker 8: Out here in Pierce Township last week, they took a vote,
• 51:48
  Speaker 8: and they're getting rid of it. And their excuse was, well,
• 51:50
  Speaker 8: two were vandalized, and it cost too much to fix them.
• 51:53
  Speaker 8: So I guess if we just vandalize police equipment, we
• 51:55
  Speaker 8: just do away with it.
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: That's exactly right.
• 51:58
  Speaker 8: On day one, with the technology that we have for
• 52:02
  Speaker 8: the protection of our property, our assets, and our guests,
• 52:06
  Speaker 8: I signed multiple documents because the technology that we have
• 52:10
  Speaker 8: at our fingertips, that it is immediate termination. And if
• 52:15
  Speaker 8: it raises to the level of criminal charges, those will
• 52:18
  Speaker 8: also be filed if I were to misuse that. And
• 52:21
  Speaker 8: you look at the case out of Columbus. where that
• 52:23
  Speaker 8: police officer used their system to research a specific license
• 52:28
  Speaker 8: plate over 300 times over months to track an individual.
• 52:33
  Speaker 8: That is easily researched. So once again, where's the oversight?
• 52:38
  Speaker 8: Because of that, once again, what I have the ability
• 52:41
  Speaker 8: to do for our repeat offenders, since we've instituted this technology,
• 52:46
  Speaker 8: has dropped to single digits. Because the words on the street,
• 52:51
  Speaker 8: because the time you drive your car on or the
• 52:53
  Speaker 8: time you walk in with our facial recognition technology, we
• 52:57
  Speaker 8: are alerted and that is turned away. And we also
• 53:00
  Speaker 8: use it. And one of your callers brought it up
• 53:02
  Speaker 8: or maybe one of your guests, you know, where us
• 53:05
  Speaker 8: in the industry, we want to know if we got
• 53:07
  Speaker 8: a big player coming in or people leave money in
• 53:11
  Speaker 8: the ATMs. People leave money on the table. So now
• 53:14
  Speaker 8: we'll put your information in. So, hey, the next time
• 53:16
  Speaker 8: you come back, here's your $ 200, sir. So the range
• 53:21
  Speaker 8: of good and bad that can be done to keep,
• 53:25
  Speaker 8: to use of this technology. But once again, the guardrails
• 53:29
  Speaker 8: have to be there and you have to hold the
• 53:31
  Speaker 8: people accountable to the fullest extent of the law when
• 53:35
  Speaker 8: they misuse it.
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: No question about it, Mike. But then I will quickly
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: observe that everybody's got a smartphone on them now. They
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: have cameras. They have microphones. You have apps on them
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: where you have voluntarily given up massive privacy rights in
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: the name of getting something that you believe to be free.
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, Focusing and pointing just to flock as this
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: nefarious technology element. And I understand the motivations behind it. Me,
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: the little old civil libertarian, I get it. I don't
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: want them misusing data. I don't think it's appropriate for
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: police officers to use it to spy on girlfriends and whatever.
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: But I think those things can be fixed. But like
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: my arguments for AI, you can reject it and let
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: the Chinese Communist Party do it, or you can embrace
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: it and hopefully control the technology within some reasonable guidelines
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: here in the United States. Same thing with this technology.
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: If the guardrails are in place, it can be very valuable.
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: And I will attribute, like you seem to suggest, Mike,
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: that the drop in crime that we have seen across
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: this country, in spite of the fact that downtown Cincinnati
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: doesn't seem to have experienced it, but there has been
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: a pretty significant drop in crime. And I think this
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: technology is the reason behind it. Because literally, as I
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: regularly joke about, you can't go anywhere without a camera
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: following you. And, of course, the trail can be recreated.
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: Look at these national headlines, murderers. They can find the
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: guy from the moment he walked out of his house
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: to the moment he squeezed the trigger and killed somebody
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: in the streets of downtown New York. Every step of
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: the way is on video.
• 54:57
  Speaker 8: Look at the high-profile cases we've had here locally. That
• 55:00
  Speaker 8: one runaway or kidnapped girl out of Coleraine that was
• 55:04
  Speaker 8: found because of that technology down in the Florida and
• 55:07
  Speaker 8: Georgia area. We had a couple of 14-year-olds steal a car,
• 55:10
  Speaker 8: and within 24 hours, they were apprehended. And the murder
• 55:14
  Speaker 8: in the workplace up in Mason, he was caught within
• 55:17
  Speaker 8: 24 hours because of that technology. And, you know, Brian,
• 55:20
  Speaker 8: the little bit of conspiracy theory of me, or I
• 55:24
  Speaker 8: forget the phrase that your one listener calls it.
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: Pattern observation.
• 55:28
  Speaker 8: Pattern observation, right.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Maureen.
• 55:30
  Speaker 8: There's a little bit of me that can't help but
• 55:32
  Speaker 8: think that how much of this is a defund the
• 55:35
  Speaker 8: police model. It's very not PC to say take the
• 55:39
  Speaker 8: money away, but if we can take their tools away,
• 55:42
  Speaker 8: you get the same effect.
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: Amen, brother. And you know, let me quickly observe, as
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: I have before, any breach of trust, any single officer
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: abusing flock cameras for his or her own personal benefit
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: makes the flock cameras completely, well, wrong. We need to
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: eliminate them because they can be abused. Where is that
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: mentality toward voter fraud? How come one isn't enough? If
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: it can be done and the holes in the voting
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: process can be identified and plugged, then Why don't we
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: do that? No, no, no. It doesn't happen that often.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: We just need to let it go. Go ahead and
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: see if you can reconcile that. And if you can't,
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: give me a call and tell me how. Thanks, Mike.
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: I'll see you in a few hours. 638-55-KRC, the talk station.
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: Fasten Pro Roofing. Face. 642-55-KRC, the talk station. I'm going
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: to go straight to the phones here. If you want
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: to call, feel free.
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: 513-749-5500-8883.
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: Talk. 550 on AT & T phones. Let's see what
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: Todd's got to say this morning. Todd, thanks for calling,
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: and happy Wednesday to you, sir.
• 56:40
  Speaker 10: Happy Wednesday, Brian. Uh, yeah, I, I was listening to
• 56:44
  Speaker 10: Mike just before and I was, you know, I've been
• 56:47
  Speaker 10: tossed around this idea of the flock cameras, you know,
• 56:50
  Speaker 10: good or bad. And I, I went back to like
• 56:52
  Speaker 10: doing a pros and cons list. And I, I came
• 56:55
  Speaker 10: up with, you know, think of all the money flock
• 56:59
  Speaker 10: cameras could have saved us like back during COVID, you know,
• 57:04
  Speaker 10: you wouldn't have had to send the state troopers out
• 57:06
  Speaker 10: to churches, take license numbers. Um, And just think about
• 57:11
  Speaker 10: all the wonderful things that could be used for if
• 57:14
  Speaker 10: the Democratic, Socialist, Communist, whatever they are, get into power.
• 57:20
  Speaker 5: I just, you know.
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: Todd, I pull that tongue out of your cheek and
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: I poke a hole in it. I hear you, man.
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: That's why, you know, the city of Lebanon, the reason
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: that they pulled the plug just the other day was
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: not because they distrusted Lebanon police. And the mayor, Mark Messer,
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: is on record. Listen, I got no problem with Lebanon police.
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: We don't know of any abuses of the system. It's flock.
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: We've asked them for information. What are you keeping by
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: way of data? Who are you sharing with? All the
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: concerns we've got about where this data is going and
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: what it's being used for, they should be able to
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: answer that question. And to the extent the data is
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: being kept or improperly used by flock, then we could reconcile,
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: resolve the problem, or go to a different vendor because
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: there's more than one sort of vendor along these lines
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: out in the world. But, yes, you are illustrating the
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: very great point about this big brother technology.
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
• 58:08
  Speaker 10: You know, like you said, the big brother technology, I mean,
• 58:12
  Speaker 10: we've already got enough of it. I mean, right now
• 58:15
  Speaker 10: we're talking on, I'm talking on a cell phone in
• 58:17
  Speaker 10: my car that probably that conversation is being stored somewhere.
• 58:23
  Speaker 5: Who knows?
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: Do you ever talk with someone who's a resident of
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: a foreign country or a citizen of a foreign country?
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: If so, NSA is probably listening to your call right now, Todd.
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: Add them to the list.
• 58:35
  Speaker 8: Oh, I hope so.
• 58:36
  Speaker 10: I really hope so. Anyway, I was also going to
• 58:40
  Speaker 10: say I decided not to wait until retirement. I took
• 58:43
  Speaker 10: a half day off of work today, and I want
• 58:46
  Speaker 10: to come down to Listener Lunch.
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: Cool.
• 58:49
  Speaker 10: And meet some of the cast characters that I hear
• 58:52
  Speaker 10: every morning.
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: Well, I hope a lot of the characters show up. Sadly,
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: I'm not holding my breath that Westside Jim Kiefer will
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: show up. He's been not feeling real well lately, and
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen him at Listener Lunch. You get to
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: meet Curbage Mike, and if that makes your day, it
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: should make your day, he's definitely going to be there,
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: and I can't wait to see you, Todd, and thanks
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: for spending your half day with the Listener Lunch crew.
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: I think you'll enjoy yourself.
• 59:15
  Speaker 10: Oh, I know I will. I haven't been to the
• 59:17
  Speaker 10: Turf Club in a while.
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: Reason enough.
• 59:19
  Speaker 10: When you said Listener Lunch, yeah, reason enough. It's going
• 59:23
  Speaker 10: to be at the Turf Club. I'm like, oh, I've
• 59:25
  Speaker 10: got to take a day.
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: Off and come down there.
• 59:28
  Speaker 10: Todd?
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: Todd?
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: Skip breakfast. Skip breakfast. Come hungry.
• 59:35
  Speaker 10: Oh, I will.
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: I'll see you in a few hours, man. Looking forward
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: to it, brother. 645 right now. I hope to see
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: you there, too. Come hungry. Looks like I've got another
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: call coming in, and your call will be welcome, too,
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: if you want to give me a ring. Hold on, though.
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: Got to mention Gate of Heaven Cemetery because I want to.
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: Proceed the talk station. 6.51 at 55 Karat City Talk Station. Yeah,
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: speaking of the flock cameras, that's one of the topics
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: we're going over with Congressman Thomas Massey. Yes, he's still
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: a congressman. I still like him, and he's a good man.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: At least he understands the Constitution, and he swore an
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: oath to it. Standing there all day long, screaming into
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: the wind about everybody else around him just ignores the
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: Constitution for a multitude of reasons. So I'm interested in
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: hearing his thoughts on flock cameras. We'll get that right
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: out of the gate at 8.05. In the meantime, let's
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: go to the phone and see what Jay's got today. Jay,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: welcome back to The Morning Show. Happy Wednesday.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 9: Hey, happy Wednesday, Brian. Hey, with all due respect, and
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 9: I really like Submariner Mike, I disagree with him on
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 9: this one.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 8: I think we forget.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 9: Things like the Patriot Act and Section 215 that allows
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 9: the government to collect, quote, any tangible thing, including business
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 9: records and telephone metadata for investigation related to foreign intelligence.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 9: And we found out later, thanks to Edward Snowden, they're
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 9: collecting every phone call, every text, everything that we have
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 9: going on. Every time we give a government, and I
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 9: don't care which one it is, this kind of power,
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 9: it's always abused. This is not a surprise. And we
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 9: always think that, well, we're going to get it right
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 9: this time. See, this is where we need to lean
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 9: on the founders' wisdom. The founders, when they put the
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 9: Constitution in place— understood that there was a long history
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 9: of governments, and they came to the conclusion that we
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 9: evidently forgot, you can't trust any of them. There are
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 9: God-given rights, God-given rights, the government shouldn't be able to
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 9: take away. And whenever they have things like innocent until
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 9: proven guilty or right to privacy, that means that we
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 9: understand every once in a while a bad guy is
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 9: going to get away, but the decision woven into our
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 9: Constitution is is that we would rather have a bad
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 9: person occasionally be turned loose than a good person being
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 9: locked up. We would rather not have 100% surveillance on
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 9: us all the time than to have this false blanket
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 9: of security. As Benjamin Franklin said, whoever trades their freedom
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 9: for security will have neither. And what concerns me is
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 9: I know that the left is behind this, but it
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 9: seems like, gosh, it seems like more than half the
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 9: people on the right.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 8: Keep getting behind this.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 9: And it seems like we've lost our way, our constitutional way.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: When you say getting behind this left and right, what
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: specifically do you mean by this?
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 9: Flock cameras. Let's say this means we're going to trade
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 9: our freedom for security. And we keep going down this path.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: Well, Brad, that's where my confusion comes from, because there's
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: a whole, whole lot of left-wingers, including, oh, maybe Hamilton
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: County Sheriff McGuffey, who are against the flock cameras, too.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: So this isn't a right-wing, left-wing argument about using or
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: not using them. It seems to be widely embraced by
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: both sides. It's almost like it's one thing that both
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: Republicans and Democrats are starting to agree on.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 8: Is to not use them or to use them?
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: To not use them. This is the outrage that's resulted
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: in flock cameras being removed from cities like old Lebanon
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: most recently yesterday.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: Well, perhaps.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 9: But if you were to take a look at flock cameras'
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 9: stock price, I would think that it's going to be
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 9: an upward trend.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 8: Are they getting some pushback? Sure.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 9: But I hope it continues to be pushback. So maybe
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 9: we're on the right track. But, you know, we can't
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 9: get rid of this Section 215. I heard Judge Napolitano
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 9: talk about it.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: I heard.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: That's kind of why I brought it up when Mike
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: was talking about it. It's like, okay, you know, it's
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: like you've got flock in your pocket, basically. You're recording everything.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: It is our choice, but, you know, the government does
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: have the power of a subpoena. Hopefully they go get
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: a warrant based on probable cause to collect all the
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: data that's in your phone and get it from Verizon
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: or whatever. So there always seems to be workarounds that
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: you can work within the confines of the Constitution, which
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: I totally believe in. probable cause and and a warrant
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: issued by a judge who's looking into whether or not
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: you got probable cause to believe a crime is in
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: the process of happening or has been committed you know
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: if that protection is in place then it fulfills the
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: constitutional requirements just this extra constitutional use of the data
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: that we all have problems with so and i get
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: it trust me i struggle with this one all day
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: long man i am on one side of the fence
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: one moment i'm on the other side the other I mean,
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: you can't deny that it helps solve crimes, and you
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: also can't deny that we are constantly surveilled and it's
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: out of our hands. I feel frustrated by it. So,
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: you know, it would be awesome, would it not, Jay,
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: if we could go back and sit down with the
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: founding fathers while they're contemplating all this and show them
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: what the world looks like in the future and kind
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: of speculate and wonder how they would have worded things
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: in the Constitution if they had an understanding about this
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: amazing and yet unbelievably frightening technology. 656. It's 706. And
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: a happy Wednesday to you. Listener Lunch Wednesday is again,
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: Turf Club. Place to be today at lunchtime. Place the
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: Deep Bee every Wednesday beginning at 7.05 is right here.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: Listen to the 55KRC Morning Show. Podcasts will be available
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: later at 55KRC. iHeart. com. It's the time of week we get
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: the big picture with our friend Jack Atherton, our collective friend,
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: me and the listening audience, and Joe Strecker. Jack, welcome
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: back to the show, my friend. I love having you
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: on the show.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: Thanks for having me back, brother. I'd like to pay
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: tribute to 9-11 before we part, but Brian, could we
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: begin with something lighter? Absolutely.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. This is your segment. You go wherever you want, Jack.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: I have ultimate trust in you. You will rue those words.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: But maybe not tonight. Tonight is the start of real
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: NFL football. Football that counts. The Bengals don't play until Sunday,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: but I'm already jazzed with a healthy Joe Kuhl, a
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: beefed-up defense. Still, friends, don't follow me in placing any bets.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: I don't bet, but I've been picking Cincinnati since 2022.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: only to see us miss the playoffs entirely for the
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: last three seasons.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're good on delivering disappointment.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they have consistently, but I think it's going to end.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: One person I know who's made even worse predictions than
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: I do, Karl Marx. Karl was not a football fan.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: He didn't even like going outdoors, and that was the
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: root of his problem. Marx, a German immigrant to England,
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: spent all of his time in the library of the
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: British Museum. He didn't take care of his wife and kids.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: He didn't earn a living. All Carl did was read
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: and predict revolutions, communist revolutions, in Great Britain and throughout
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: Western Europe. For a brief moment, it looked like Carl
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: might be onto something. In 1848, Europe exploded. Poor and
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: middle-class people going back to the French Revolution in 1789
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: had hoped for new governments. Governments like America's constitutional republic.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: But Europeans instead died under a dictator, Napoleon. And then
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: after the fall of Napoleon, instead of reforming, Europe restored
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: its old regimes. So 1848 brought a tidal wave of
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: political unrest. Karl Marx and his benefactor, the guy who
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: kept them alive, Friedrich Engels, tried to ride that wave
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: by writing the Communist Manifesto. But their focus, Brian, was
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: not on kings and emperors. For these communists, the real
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: culprit was capitalism. The Industrial Revolution was revolutionizing everything from
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: farming to mining, textiles, transportation. The Industrial Revolution changed everything,
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: and even aristocrats could no longer rest fat and happy
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: on their lands. Free market capitalist economies now focused on
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: the new industrial cities. And that's where Karl Marx saw
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: his opening. Marx predicted that industrialization would increase misery. And
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: for a while, he was right. Everybody flocked to cities
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: that were rife with crime, disease, and exploitation. Read Charles Dickens'
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: novel called Hard Times, or Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: about murderous working conditions in cities like Manchester and Birmingham.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: As we've discussed, Brian, industrial revolutions are always hard. At first,
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: whether an ancient Sumerian where they invented the wheel and
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: musclemen who used to carry litters were thrown out of work,
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: or Detroit in the early 20th century, where newfangled automobiles
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: replaced the horse and buggy and blacksmiths. The fear being
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: spoke today is over AI and data centers. Some of
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: it is reasonable, some of it is frightening, but much
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: of that fear is funded by Red China because they
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: don't want competition for their data centers. Industrial transitions have
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: always been hard and Marxists today count on that just
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: as Karl Marx did. But, and this is a really
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: big but, Karl Marx was wrong. He lived until 1883
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: yet never got out of the reading room to see
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: how life was changing for the better. How unions were
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: forming and management was growing more reasonable. How factories were
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: becoming safer. How new and better jobs were being created.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: How children stopped working and went to school. Health standards increased.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: Life expectancy increased. Life got better. Except for the Marx family.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: Carl's mother, and this is a real quote, she wrote
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: that she wished her son... earned some capital instead of
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: just attacking it. Marx predicted communist revolutions would overtake Europe,
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: starting with the most industrialized nations. Instead, the only place
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: that suffered the communist revolution was one of the least
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: industrialized countries, Tsarist Russia. And even there, the communist revolution
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: was not led by peasants and shopkeepers. The leaders of
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: the Russian revolution were the same hypocrites. now leading the
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: Democrat Socialists of America, so-called intellectuals, brainwashed by Marx to
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: think that an all-knowing, all-powerful big government could redistribute property
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: and let everybody live equally. Instead, as George Orwell predicted,
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: some communists quickly became more equal than others. They became
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: today's Vladimir Putin and his cronies, Xi Jinping and to
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: pick out just one name from our own cohort.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: Ilhan Omar.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: They earned their money the old-fashioned way, liberating it from
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: comrades who were content to be left with crumbs, so
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: long as those crumbs come free of charge from Big Brother. So,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: football fans, here's the score. Go ahead and bet just
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: a few bucks on the Bengals if you agree with me,
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: but don't bet on those descendants of Karl Marx. Democrat
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: socialists of America. And that's what all of the Democrats
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: are today. What do you say, my libertarian friend?
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: Of course, I always agree with you, Jack. And, you know,
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: it's interesting. It's like everything. People at any given time
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: view the current reality as static, immovable, unchangeable. Nothing's going
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: to change. Ergo, we need to have some sort of
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: revolution or top-down transformation of society. Only government can deliver that.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: But that your industrial revolution point proves it is. Once
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: these businesses became really profitable, the terrible working conditions allowed
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: in democratic governments the change. People demanded change. You mentioned
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: they formed unions to bring about some change. OSHA goes
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: into effect, bringing about workplace obligations for safety. This is
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: what money and the democratic process allows to happen. It's
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: like environmentalism. If this country was not as wealthy as
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: it is, we probably would have a whole bunch of hot,
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: you know, surplus sites still laying around uncleaned up. The
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: money that we have, the profit we generated, the wealth
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: that we create through capitalism allows us to maybe take
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: a little of that massive wealth and clean stuff up.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: The people demand it and the reforms come about and
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: businesses still remain profitable and in business under a capitalist system.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: It just all comes collapsing down when they take a
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: top-down approach and then you have to rely on government
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: to make life-altering decisions on our behalf. It's never worked out, Jack. No, exactly.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: You make it Sounds so obvious, but Marxism is on
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: the rise among young people today, not because Marx was
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: right about capitalism, much less the American idea of personal
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: freedom and responsibility protected by limited government. Marxism is on
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: the rise because generations of post-war American kids have been
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: spoiled and brainwashed, spoiled by their Depression-era parents and grandparents
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: who won World War II and and brought us prosperity,
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: brainwashed in schools and by woke pop culture, which has
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: now ruined at least three generations and counting. Education and
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: culture are where we have to fight this battle one
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: household at a time. I know we've talked about this before. Brian,
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: can I go on and say one word?
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: To honor the targets and responders and survivors of 9-11
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: 25 years ago. That sneak attack Should not have been
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: a surprise. The World Trade Center had already been attacked
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: by Islamo terrorists in 1993.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: The blindshake.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: Then explosion didn't take down the towers, but it killed
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: six people. Ten years earlier, jihadists had bombed a marine
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: barracks in Beirut, murdering 241 service personnel. In 1996, the
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: jihadi truck bombing of Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, that
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: killed another 19 American service members. Then in 2000, one
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: year before 9-11, Al-Qaeda attacked the USS Cole, taking the
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: lives of 17 U.S. Navy sailors. How many warnings did
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: we need? Not about Islam, about radical Islam, the brand
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: of Islam the chance death to America, as well as
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: death to Israel, and more broadly, death to the West
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: and all of our values. And they mean it. In
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: June of 2025, President Donald J. Trump courageously degraded Iran's
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: nuclear capability. Then when we found out that they had
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: enough enriched uranium to build 11 nuclear bombs, he did
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: it again last February 28th and all through March. But then, Brian...
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: we started talking about peace talks with Iran's bloodthirsty, fanatical
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: mullahs and Revolutionary Guard who had been there since 1979. On-again,
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: off-again talks wasted within four months while rising oil prices
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: turned most of America against President Trump. The answer was
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: never boots on the ground. As you let me say, Brian,
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: for months. Look it up back in the podcasts. The
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: answer was always consistent economic strangulation. This finally may be coming.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: And I hope it's not too late to save the midterms.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: But we must finish the job to honor the dead
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: of 9-11 and to save lives today.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: Another reason to get out and vote. Not that we
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: need any more. Jack Atherton put an exclamation point on it. November,
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: get out and vote. Stop this nonsense from happening. Jack Atherton,
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: brilliant as always. Appreciate you.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: As you've been saying, hold your nose. Hold your nose,
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: hold your wallet, get out and vote.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That's what we're going to be going over with
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 2: Donovan O'Neill and Tim Ross from AFP at the bottom
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: of the hour. Hold your nose and vote Republican. A
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: message that Tom Zalastowski's been echoing every week. A message
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: that you're echoing that I will continue to echo until
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: the vote's over in November and hopefully, dear God, we
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: will do exactly that and stop this left-wing tide. Jack Atherton,
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: brilliant as always. I appreciate your time every week here
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: on the 55KRC Morning Show. Find the podcast, 55KRC. iHeart. com. Share
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: it with your friends and Get your friends to tune

  Speaker 2: into the radio every Wednesday at 7.05. Jack, up. It
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: is 7.30 here at 55KRC, the talk station. Happy Wednesday.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: It's that time of the week we talk with Lee
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: Summon from Americans for Prosperity. Normally Donald O'Neill, but every
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: once in a while he'll do a sub. And this
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: morning I'm pleased to announce that AFP political director Tim
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: Ross is on the show to talk about some endorsements
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: here in the state of Ohio. Welcome, Tim. It's great
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: to have you on the program this morning.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 8: Well, thanks for letting me sub in, Brian. Really appreciate it.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, happy to do it. You know, we need to
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: change the pace every once in a while. Good morning, Donovan.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: It's okay. You don't want to get up out of
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: bed this morning, Donovan, huh? All right. Tim, you got
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: some new endorsements for Ohio, but I saw your statement
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: at americansforprosperity.org about your excitement about endorsing these General Assembly candidates.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: I guess considering the issues that the Americans for Prosperity
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: is wrestling with, including my listening audience, like, for example,
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: property taxes, When you endorse the candidates, are you having
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: specific discussions with them about the important issues that are
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: clearly identified on AFP's website? Oh, absolutely.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 8: I mean, that's one of the better parts of the
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 8: job is traveling the state and talking to people that
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 8: want to fix the problems that are out there. You know,
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 8: you mentioned property tax. It's certainly one of the larger ones.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 8: You know, school choice is another thing that we talk
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 8: to candidates about. It's very fulfilling to go around to
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 8: various corners of Ohio and talk to people that are
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 8: interested in tackling these things. That's why we're so excited
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 8: to have this most recent round of endorsements that we
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 8: announced yesterday.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: Tim Ross, let's start with the Ohio Senate endorsed candidates.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 8: So starting in central Ohio, we have Michelle Reynolds at
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 8: Senate District 3, big parts of Franklin County and a
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 8: couple of the surrounding counties. Michelle has been in the
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 8: Senate for four years now. She beat a Democratic incumbent,
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 8: which is tough to do, in that time has tackled
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 8: some big issues, including property tax. Also looking at an
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 8: issue that we're looking to get more involved in, which
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 8: is making housing more affordable. You know, we've set housing
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 8: policy out of reach and housing prices out of reach
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 8: for most young Americans and trying to dial that back,
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 8: get government out of the way and opening up some
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 8: opportunities there is something we're really excited about. So excited
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 8: to be supporting Senator Reynolds. And then the other state
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 8: Senate candidate that we announced yesterday is a someone I'm
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 8: sure that your listeners are familiar with from her time
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 8: running for the U.S. Senate and as state ORP chair
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 8: with Jane Tempkin, someone I've had the pleasure of knowing
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 8: for a number of years given my work in Stark
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 8: County over the years. Really smart, compassionate person, just has
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 8: been appointed to the Senate just a couple years ago
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 8: to fill a vacancy, and is doing great work, so
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 8: we're excited to support Jane as well.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: Are you sensing, again, I just kind of Looking at
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: the topics we're going to talk about today, one of which,
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: and maybe Joe summarized it this way, but hold your
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: nose and vote Republican. This is something I've been talking
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: with Tom Zawistowski from We the People Convention about. I
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: get this sense out there, and because you, Tim, and
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: everybody with AFP does all this door knocking, what the
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: temperature of the water is when you're talking with people
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: as you go around door knocking, are they in this...
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: damn it, I don't like any of them, I'm not
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: even going to bother mode, or is it kind of
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: better out there than we perceive based upon all this
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: concern that people keep expressing about people not going out
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: and voting? I think of the gubernatorial race, people have
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: told me quite frankly, you know, I'm not going to
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: vote for Vivek Ramaswamy, and my immediate response is, well,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: are you voting for Amy Acton? The answer is, hell no,
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: I'd never vote for her, so, you know, not voting
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: for Vivek is a vote for Amy, I would argue,
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: but What is the sense that you get on the
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: door-to-door knocking?
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 8: So it's a midterm cycle. You know, I think if
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 8: you're in politics, you hear this quite a bit. You know,
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 8: the party that controls the White House in these midterm
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 8: cycles tend to do a little worse. There's an enthusiasm gap,
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 8: and I think certainly that is true in Ohio right now.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 8: You know, people are frustrated, and rightfully so. There are
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 8: some significant problems out there, so candidates need to be
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 8: out there talking to people About solutions. So that's why
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 8: we're endorsing these candidates. But, yeah, we've got to get
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 8: that message out to people that are conservative minded. And
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 8: just like what you said, the importance of why each
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 8: of these candidates, each of these races is going to
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 8: have a marginal impact on their day to day lives.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 2: Huge impact, in fact. Well, it's with great delicacy before
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 2: we take a break and talk about the Ohio House
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 2: representative endorsements from AFP. I get the sense that maybe,
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 2: and maybe this is a bit of an overstatement, Trump
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: may be more of a liability for Republicans in this
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 2: election cycle than a benefit. I know his endorsements have
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: gone a long way, but with the war going on,
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: inflation problems, housing problems that you just pointed out, price
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: of gasoline is extraordinarily high. Those are some serious challenges,
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 2: and a lot of people are just looking directly at
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump for the blame.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 8: Certainly some of that. I expect that we'll hear some
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 8: solutions out of Texas this week. I think a lot
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 8: of those efforts are going to be outlying a vision
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 8: as to why this path, voting for these candidates, voting
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 8: for conservatives up and down the ballot, is the right
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 8: thing to do to address problems. And there are problems
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 8: out there. That's why people are frustrated. I drove into
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 8: Columbus today, and I passed a few gas station signs
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 8: that said $ 4 on them. That's certainly too high, and
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 8: I think people are looking for a solution on that
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 8: and rather quickly. So hopefully that's what we hear out
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 8: of Houston with the convention this week, and I expect
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 8: we will.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 2: Tim Ross, we'll bring him back, political director for Americans
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: for Prosperity. 740 here, 55KRCD Talk Station, Americans for Prosperity,
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 2: making it easy for us to get involved as we
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: fast approach November. I'm still just spinning from the reality
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: that Republicans are struggling to gain traction as we get
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 2: into November, considering what's going on in the world with
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 2: the Democratic Socialist America. On the program today, substituting for
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: Donovan O'Neill, he is Americans for Prosperity political director Tim Ross. Tim,
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: before we get to the Republican endorsements in Ohio for representatives,
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: I saw that AFP was in Chicago over the weekend.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 2: You guys put a truck outside the Democratic Socialist of
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 2: America Socialism 2026 convention. I honestly I'm old enough to
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 2: just stare in disbelief, Tim Ross, that they actually have
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 2: a socialism 2026 convention anywhere. But this is what we're
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 2: staring at. How did that event go? If I can
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 2: put you on the spot on that one. I think
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 2: it will.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 8: Well, it's an opportunity to to highlight why that is
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 8: the wrong approach for America. And you're seeing it more
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 8: and more, you know, especially on the federal level. a
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 8: number of candidates running for Congress and the Senate that
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 8: are about socialists. Something that would have been absolutely unthinkable
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 8: a number of years ago is something that the Democratic
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 8: Party is openly embracing now. The people that I have
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 8: spoken to that were involved in that said it went
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 8: very well. We're in touch with our brothers and sisters
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 8: up in AFP Michigan, and they're dealing with this fight
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 8: on their doorstep right now. They've got a candidate there
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 8: that is running on a socialist message, and I think
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 8: Michigan is going to reject that, and we're going to
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 8: reject that around the country in November.
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 2: Well, I'd like to pray the autoworkers haven't gone socialist
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 2: on us. I mean, Lord Almighty, they should at least
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: recognize their jobs are on the line.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 8: Oh, absolutely. Absolutely.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: All right, so let's pivot over to.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 8: I'm sorry, go ahead.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, I was just going to say, let's pivot over
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: to the Ohio House of Representatives endorsed candidates from AFP.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 2: Let's start with Denise D'Angelo.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 8: Yeah, so Denise is a great candidate running in the
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 8: 10th District, which is southern Franklin County, the Grove City area.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 8: Just a person that was involved in her business and
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 8: got a passion to run. Originally ran for school boards,
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 8: currently serving on school boards. So very passionate about those issues,
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 8: about making sure that every child has the opportunity to
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 8: go attend an institution where they are best suited to learn.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 8: So we're really excited to be supporting Denise in that election.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 8: She's taking on the Democratic incumbent, which is tough to do,
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 8: but we think she has the ability to flip that seat.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 2: Now, do these endorsements from AFP come with maybe a
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 2: donation to the campaign?
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 8: So we actually spend on behalf of the candidates. We
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 8: will run our own independent messaging and tell people why
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 8: we think they are the best choice in November. That
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 8: could be digital ads. We can do some direct television,
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 8: those ads that play on when you're trying to watch
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 8: a YouTube video. We can do some of those, and
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 8: we'll do some of those for the candidates, and then
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 8: direct mail.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 2: Fair enough. Now pivoting over to House District 17.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 8: Yeah, State Representative Mike DeVille, I'm not sure if he's
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 8: had a chance to join you on the show, but
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 8: has been deeply involved in Medicaid reform in his first
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 8: term back to the House. He had previously served for
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 8: six years and now is back for his second stint,
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 8: just hitting the ground running and tackling some of the
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 8: major issues, including the fraud that's going on in the
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 8: Medicaid system. A phenomenal member of the Ohio House, running
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 8: in southern Cuyahoga County, kind of the Strongsville, North Royalton area.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 8: So very excited to be supporting him up in that
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 8: neck of the woods. Just a little bit over in
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 8: Lorain County, there's Cliff Winkle, another business owner, owns an
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 8: electrical company, also on North Ridgeville City Council, North Royalton
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 8: City Council, excuse me, I get those two confused. But yeah,
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 8: common sense guy has had to deal with burdensome regulation
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 8: as a business owner. So I was very eager to
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 8: come to Columbus and help dial some of those things back,
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 8: make it easier to do business in Ohio.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 8: So very excited to be supporting Cliff. He was most
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 8: recently appointed to the ballot, so that race is coming
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 8: online a little late, but he's doing a great job.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: All right. Hitting over to House District 61 with Sean Stevens.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Sean had previously served a stint in the House
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 8: and is coming back again, Delaware County and a little
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 8: bit of Knox County. Again, business owner, you see a
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 8: common theme here, someone that has dealt with how oppressive
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 8: government can affect everyday life. We have business owners that
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 8: are providing value to people, providing jobs, and the more
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 8: the government gets in the way of those things, the
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 8: less able to do those things they are. So Sean's
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 8: a great example of that, is going to do great work,
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 8: awesome person, and a good friend of the organization. We
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 8: like Sean a lot. Moving over to House District 72,
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 8: State Representative Heidi Workman, also serving in her freshman term
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 8: in the Ohio House of Representatives, has tackled technology issues primarily. So,
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 8: you know, we're seeing a lot of talk come online
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 8: about AI and how that's going to affect our day-to-day
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 8: data centers. You know, those are always a hot political topic,
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 8: trying to find a reasonable path to deal with that topic.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 8: great candidate, great member, uh, had, uh, gotten here to, uh,
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 8: the Ohio house of representatives by beating a more liberal incumbent, uh,
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 8: Republican in, uh, the primaries in 2024, uh, which is, uh, again,
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 8: just beating an incumbent in general is an incredibly hard
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 8: thing to do in politics, but she did it and
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 8: is running a great race. Uh, and it's been a
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 8: great representative since.
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 2: You got one more kind of round.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 8: Round out the list, uh, up on, on the lake, uh,
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 8: kind of the, uh, Ottawa, Ottawa County, Erie County, that
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 8: kind of north central area. Caleb Stidham, he's the treasurer
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 8: of Erie County right now, the county treasurer. And we
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 8: talked about property taxes to kind of kick off. And
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 8: this is an area where Erie County has led the way.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 8: They're eliminating unvoted increases in people's property taxes and are
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 8: the number one county in dealing with this topic. So
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 8: I'm also not sure if you've had a chance to
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 8: have State Representative David Thomas on the show. And if not,
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 8: a great person to talk to about the property tax issue.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 8: He described Caleb as his reinforcements on this topic. So
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 8: Caleb is going to do great work on that and
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 8: a litany of other issues.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 2: And which website are you directing my listeners to today, Tim?
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 2: Because I know AFP has several of them. I'm staring
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 2: at the americansforprosperity.org list that you have posted. But where
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 2: else should we go and where else would you direct
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 2: my listeners to get engaged, Tim?
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 8: BuckeyeBlueprint.com is where we tell people to check out the news,
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 8: sign up to get involved. If you like what you hear,
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 8: we have chapters all over the state of Ohio where
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 8: you can come hear about the issues that matter most
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 8: and get involved. Not just, as Donovan would say, just
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 8: give him a shout out since I'm taking his time.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 8: Don't just throw your shoe at the television screen. Put
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 8: on your shoe and get to work. We offer people
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 8: the opportunity to do that and not just be mad.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 8: don't just be mad. Go out and change the way
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 8: things are done, and that's how we affect positive outcomes
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 8: in Ohio.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 2: And by not voting, you're going to ensure that the
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 2: worst possible candidate gets elected. So let's not make that mistake, right?
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 2: Tim Ross, he's the AFP political director. It's BlutkeyeBlueprint.com. Check
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 2: it out and get engaged. Tim, thank you so much
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: for what you and Americans for Prosperity are doing throughout
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 2: the state of Ohio, and I applaud your work, and
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 2: you're always welcome here on the 55KRC Morning Show, sir.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 8: Brian, it's been a pleasure. Thank you very much. Have
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 8: a good rest of your morning.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 2: My pleasure, indeed, and my listening audience's pleasure as well.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 2: Thank you. It's 8.06 here at 55KRC. We talk stationing.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 2: Very happy Wednesday. Extra special. Boy, I've been just putting
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: smiles on my face all morning. Looking forward to listening
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 2: to lunch. And I saw on the rundown this morning
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 2: when I came in, just my smile lit up. I'm
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: just really happy to welcome back to the 55KRC morning show. Congressman,
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: we can still call him that for a while, Thomas Massey,
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 2: my friend. It is so nice having you on the
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 2: show again.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 3: Great to be on, Brian.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: And perfect time, too, all the rage these days, getting
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 2: rid of flock cameras. Most recently, yesterday, we had Lebanon
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: City Council here in Ohio voted to remove all 20
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 2: of its flock cameras, not because of law enforcement abuse,
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: because of, well, flock is apparently keeping data. We don't
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 2: know where they're selling the data. Obviously, some serious privacy concerns.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 2: And my libertarian friend, I know you are all about
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 2: preventing the surveillance state. And so you have this, what
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 2: is it, Flock Off Act? Yes.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 8: Yeah, be careful. The FCC.
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: I know. I have to use the dump button on myself.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 2: So Flock Off Act. What does this hope to accomplish?
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 8: Well, Flock Off is.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 3: In response to my constituents and, frankly, people all over
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 3: the country who are upset about the mass surveillance that's
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 3: being enabled.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 8: By Flock cameras.
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 3: By the way, there are other brands of cameras that
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 3: do the same thing, and my bill covers them all.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 3: but we thought Flockoff would be the best name for
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 3: the bill. What the bill does, it doesn't ban these cameras.
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 3: I don't have that power.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 8: Congress does not have that power.
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 3: States and cities still have the authority to, you know,
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 3: infringe on your rights in this way, if you will.
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 3: I don't think they have the constitutional authority to But
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 3: we don't have the ability to ban a technology like
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 3: this nationwide. So what my bill does, it's very simple.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 3: It says we're not going to use any federal funds
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 3: for cameras like the flock cameras that are in real
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 3: time monitoring license plates of innocent Americans.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 8: Some of them go further.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 3: Than that and do facial recognition. It's a dystopian future
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 3: that we're looking at with these cameras. So no funding
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 3: for you. If your police department or your city wants
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 3: to put these in, don't ask the feds for the
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 3: money to do it.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 8: And also, it does prohibit.
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 3: The feds from doing it or interacting with these systems.
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 2: Well, that's power of the purse. I guess I'm kind
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 2: of curious since obviously I think your bill suggests and
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 2: the nature of it suggests that money is coming from
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 2: the federal government to fund various flock camera systems around
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 2: this country. Is that pursuant to a grant? Is it
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 2: picking and choosing who gets federal funds, like the picking
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 2: of winners and losers, which is typical of the federal government?
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 2: How are these grants awarded, or are these funds awarded?
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 8: Somebody was incredulous.
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 3: They thought that the feds aren't doing this, so they
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 3: asked GROC, which is the Artificial Intelligence Fund Act that
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 3: everybody seems to rely on for authority. They said, GROC,
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 3: is this really happening? Which programs? And GROC listed about
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 3: eight different federal pipelines of money that go to cities
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 3: and police.
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 8: Departments for which you could spend this money on flock cameras,
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 8: and it's happening.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 3: And I think, you know, I've always said this about
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 3: the Department of Justice and the FBI. They sit there
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 3: in front of us in the Judiciary Committee, and they'll
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 3: say things. When we ask them a question, they'll stall,
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 3: and sometimes they'll say, it's our policy not to.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 8: Answer that question.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 3: It's, you know... I turned to Jim Jordan, and I've
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 3: told him this several times. If we would just withhold
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 3: funding for one toner cartridge, these buffoons, they would start
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 3: singing like a bird, and they would tell us what
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 3: we want to know. So that's the lever you have
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 3: here is the money. Follow the money and cut off
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 3: the money. I really don't think that they will spend
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 3: the money if they have to spend their own money
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 3: on this.
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 5: A lot of them won't.
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 2: Well, that's typically the case. I think we've seen a
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 2: pattern develop along those lines over the years, Congressman Massey.
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting, and I have to raise this
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 2: because I've been bringing it up regularly. Any abuse under these,
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 2: with the flock system, we've had officers abusing it, you know,
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 2: finding girlfriends and searching for people that have no connection
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 2: with law enforcement, clear abuses. So we know that it's
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 2: out there. But it seems to me the argument against
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 2: flaw cameras, any abuse cannot be tolerated. If these can
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 2: be abused, then they must be abolished completely. I guess
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 2: I wonder where that same argument is for voter fraud, because,
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 2: you know, we have found ways people can violate or
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 2: can break the law and still vote unlawfully and illegally
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 2: in elections. And yet, you know, oh, that just doesn't
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 2: happen that much. So it's not worthy of dealing with.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know how you can reconcile those two positions, congressman.
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 3: Well, and just imagine if they had flock cameras during
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 3: COVID to enforce lockdowns. Remember, they said you couldn't cross
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 3: from the state of Kentucky to the state of Ohio
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 3: and come back, that you would have to take like
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 3: a two-week or three-week, four-week time out.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 8: It was ridiculous.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 3: And the only reason they couldn't make that stick is
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 3: they didn't have things like Flock to enforce it. Now,
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 3: in the state of Kentucky, they sent state troopers to
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 3: church parking lots during services, and they collected license plate information. Now,
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 3: they had to do it manually, right? So they couldn't
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 3: do every church. There's too many churches and not enough
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 3: state police. And that was clearly– that was tyrannical. It
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 3: was uncalled for. You may disagree with me on that,
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 3: but it was eventually ruled unconstitutional. They lost– Governor Beshear
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 3: lost a famous case here in Kentucky.
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 2: T.J.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 3: Roberts, now state rep, was the plaintiff who brought the case.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 3: I would say defended it maybe into defending his rights.
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 3: But imagine if they had flock cameras what they could do.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 3: But when I drove to D.C., I drove my car
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 3: against all of these rules and regulations. I drove it
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 3: to D.C. to object to the CARES Act, and I
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 3: forced them to assemble and take that vote in person.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 3: It wouldn't be possible if the flock cameras and the
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 3: license plate readers existed for those purposes. And then the
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 3: other thing is people say, well, if you're not doing
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 3: anything wrong, you shouldn't worry about Well, then why does
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 3: the government redact everything if they're not doing anything wrong?
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 2: Well, exactly. And then, of course, you paint a dystopian
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 2: scenario considering the COVID-19 insanity we lived through and actually
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 2: abided by, which is crazy. But what abuses can be
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 2: easily envisioned with these systems in place? I get it
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 2: all day long. I truly do. I mean, they're great
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 2: at law enforcement, but therein lies the challenge. What laws
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 2: are being enforced? Who has the keys to power, and
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 2: what are they looking for? That's the dystopian component of it.
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 2: All right, so pivoting over, I think we have some time.
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 2: We can dive on into the Prime Act. And you've
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 2: been an advocate for this for a long time. It
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 2: exempts from federal inspection animals and meats that are slaughtered
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 2: and prepared for custom at animal slaughter facilities for distribution
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 2: just within a state. So we're not involved with interstate
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 2: commerce here. And states do have their own laws with
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 2: regard to food safety and preparation, don't they, Congressman Massey?
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 2: Why can't we slaughter our own cows next door?
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 3: Correct. There are small custom meat processing facilities that cut
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 3: up less beef in a night than Kroger's does, you know,
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 3: in a day, or that a steakhouse does in a day.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 3: And how are those inspected? Do you have to have
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 3: a USDA inspector at Kroger's behind the meat counter? No.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 3: Do you have to have one at a steakhouse? No.
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 3: What do you have? You have local inspections.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 8: You have health.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 3: Inspectors from the counties in most states, they will go,
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 3: they'll give a grade, they can post it, A plus,
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 3: A minus, 90%. You can walk in the establishment, look
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 3: at their grade and say, I'm not feeling like a
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 3: B minus Chinese meal buffet tonight. I'm going to walk
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 3: out and go somewhere else. Those are the kind of things,
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 3: ways that it should.
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 8: Be regulated at that scale.
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 3: Now, If you've got a hot dog factory with trainloads
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 3: of animals coming in one side and Oscar Mayer Wieners
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 3: coming out the other side, yeah, there needs to be
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 3: an inspector there, possibly a federal inspector. And so we
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 3: don't exempt those because those are going across state lines.
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 3: And so with the PRIME Act, it actually is an acronym.
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 3: I don't think I've ever said it on your show.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 3: Processor Revival Intrastate Meat Exemption. That's the P-R-I-M-E. in the
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 3: prime act. And so you've heard so much in the news.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 3: First of all, Trump wanted to lower the price of beef.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 3: He said, we're going to import 300,000 metric tons of beef. Actually,
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 3: you have to multiply that by 2000 and you'll realize
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 3: how many millions, hundreds of millions of pounds he's talking about.
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 3: It's like 600 million.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 3: Pounds of hamburger.
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 3: That's, Eight quarter pounders of meat for every man, woman,
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 3: and child.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 8: That is how much.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 3: Meat product, ground meat product that he's proposing to bring in.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 3: And people say, oh, Congressman Mezzi, I thought you didn't
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 3: like tariffs.
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 8: This is the free market.
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 3: This is not the free market. He's cutting a deal
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 3: with just a few countries, and part of the deal
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 3: requires him to bring it in at 75% of the
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 3: market price. He's setting the price. He's setting the quantity.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 3: He's setting the source. And he's setting the product. It's
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 3: not steak. It's ground beef, which, by the way, is
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 3: going to make it harder for American processors and farmers
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 3: to sell the whole carcass if you're distorting the market
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 3: by bringing in only part of the kind of animal
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 3: that's sold. Because you have to sell the whole animal
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 3: when you've got one up in the United States, right?
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 3: So the PRIMAC solves all this.
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 8: It solves it.
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 3: And it's also– the president made two executive orders. Those
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 3: were bait and switch. Those were– I call them nothing burgers.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 3: One of the executive orders was supposed to return country
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 3: of origin labeling.
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 8: This is something– I've been.
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 3: On your show long enough that in 2015 they repealed
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 3: country of origin labeling.
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 8: I'm sure we could.
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 3: Go back and find where I was railing against the
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 3: repeal of that. Well– Trump's executive order doesn't put country
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 3: of origin labeling back in. It says they're going to
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 3: study the problem for 90 days. By the way, the
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 3: 300,000 metric tons of beef comes in over the next
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 3: 90 days. The election happens in the next 90 days.
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 3: And after 90 days of studying this, they might, it
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 3: says may do something.
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 8: The executive order says may in three places.
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 3: They're not going to, if the law allows, the law
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 3: doesn't allow, Congress sets the law. And Congress repealed the law.
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 3: He can't put it in place. It was a big
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 3: nothing burger fake.
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 2: All right, we'll pause, bring Congressman Massey back, answering a question.
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 2: Who is against the idea of local processing since seemingly
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 2: with reduced shipping charges, you don't have to rely on
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 2: diesel fuel to get from point A to point B.
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 2: Everybody's into local, and we'd be able to see our
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 2: cows there. 821-55-KRC, the talk station. Happy Wednesday. Brian Thomas
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 2: with Congressman Massey. Love having him on the show. I'm
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 2: going to miss you like you have no idea, Congressman Massey. Now, okay,
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 2: real quick, who would be against the idea of local
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 2: processing of beef? Unless they're in bed with one of the, what,
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 2: three major slaughterhouses in the United States, the sort of
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 2: oligopoly they've got going anyway. And also, who would be
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 2: against country of origin labeling? Damn it, I want to
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 2: know where my food comes from.
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 3: Okay, well, everyone, remember in the first segment of this show,
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 3: we talked about follow the money. Yeah.
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 8: The flock-off bill?
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 3: Well, the biggest donor to Trump's inauguration, $ 5 million they gave,
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 3: is JBS, the biggest beef processor in the world, the
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 3: head of the oligarchy as far as beef processing goes.
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 3: And they are from Brazil. They're Brazilian-owned. And then I
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 3: noticed that the president's press announcement, he had ranchers behind
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 3: him on the right, and ranchers behind him on the left, who,
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 3: by the way, they had to get on that plane
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 3: and go there before they knew what was in the
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 3: executive order, right? They must have looked like somebody shot
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 3: their dog.
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 8: When they found out what was going on.
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 3: But the guy right directly behind him was Zippy Duvall,
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 3: who is the.
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 8: Biggest ag lobbyist.
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 3: He's the president of Farm Bureau. And Farm Bureau, I'm
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 3: going to call them out. They've got a lot of
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 3: great members. People get their insurance from them, a lot
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 3: of great county-level Farm Bureau groups. But at the federal level,
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 3: they are screwing cattlemen and beef farmers because they were
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 3: in favor of getting rid of country of origin labels.
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 3: They have been in favor of electronic ID tags for cattle,
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 3: which is going to verticalize the industry. They are in
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 3: favor of the beef checkoff program, which robs a dollar
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 3: from every farmer every time they sell an animal. And
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 3: they are against any change in the regulation of meat processing.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 3: And they predominantly represent the row crops. They're not like
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 3: the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. which is pure evil, right?
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 3: The Farm Bureau has a conflict of interest. They don't
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 3: really represent vegetable growers.
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 8: Or dairy or beef.
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 3: They're really just about corn and soybeans. And so they're
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 3: not looking out for beef. In fact, they're on the
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 3: wrong side of beef. But National Cattlemen's Beef Association is
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 3: the worst because if you read that name, And again,
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 3: they have some county organizations that are pretty good. If
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 3: you read that name, you would think they're up there
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 3: fighting for you at the federal level.
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 8: No, they are.
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 3: Fighting against the Prime Act. They're the worst. They're worse
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 3: than Farm Bureau. So that's why this is not going
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 3: to happen.
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 2: Interesting revelation.
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 3: But I got some good news. I got a pilot
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 3: program for the Prime Act in the House Farm Bill.
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 3: And we just need to get it, which hasn't passed yet.
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 3: The Senate Farm Bill does not have a pilot program
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 3: for the Prime Act in it. But we're working on
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 3: some senators over there to get that language in there
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 3: so that it can become law.
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 8: And that's the way you got to do it.
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 3: You can't do all this stuff by executive order.
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 2: No, you can't. And a shocking revelation here in the
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 2: morning show, Congressman Massey, that money has an influence in politics.
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 3: Hmm.
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 2: Real quick here, why would anybody be against country of origin?
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 2: And can I impose upon you to stick around to
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 2: talk about Epstein in the next segment? Yes. Okay, wonderful.
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 2: So wait in the wings for that, folks. It's coming.
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 2: But real quick on the country of origin labeling. Again,
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 2: I find that's a very valuable piece of information. You know,
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 2: I look at it with seafood. I can see what
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 2: country the seafood comes from. And I don't want farm-raised
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 2: crab coming from the waters of some polluted area or
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 2: outside of Thailand. So I can say no on that
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 2: because it's right there. What about other meats? Right.
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 3: We still have country of origin labeling on seafood and chicken,
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 3: as it should be, and on cell phones and cars
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 3: and food. Like, literally, one of the only things we
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 3: don't have it on is beef and pork, and it
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 3: got repealed in 2015. And these are.
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 8: The greedy meat packers.
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 5: This is the oligarchy.
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 3: They wanted to bring in beef from South America and Canada, calves.
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 3: And in Ohio and Kentucky, your listening area, Indiana as well,
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 3: we have a bunch of brood cows and we typically
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 3: raise calves and then those go to feedlots. They were
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 3: trying to undercut the calf producers in the United States
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 3: by bringing the calves from overseas or outside our borders
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 3: and then raising them on feedlots and butchering them and
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 3: calling it USDA and fooling the consumer. Here's why you
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 3: should care. Even the U.S. Olympic Association issued an advisory
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 3: several years ago that Olympians should not eat meat when
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 3: they're overseas. They should bring it from the United States. Otherwise,
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 3: they may fail their anabolic steroid test.
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, great.
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 3: Because they are illegally, even though there are rules against
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 3: it overseas, they don't follow the rules. And if you cheat,
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 3: you win if you're in another country.
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 8: And so that's what they do. And, in fact, some
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 8: of this beef, we don't know.
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 3: Where it's coming from yet, but we know some countries
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 3: have rejected other countries' beef. I'm wondering if we're getting
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 3: the secondhand beef that's been rejected by other countries.
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 2: Well, if we only had country of labeling on there,
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 2: we wouldn't have to worry about that. Sounds like a
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 2: solid idea for me, Congressman Massey.
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 3: Well, and you can choose. If you want to buy
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 3: the $ 3- pound stuff from, you know, Argentina, okay, great. And
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 3: if you want $ 5 grass-fed raised in the Midwest, then
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 3: you can know where it came from.
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 2: I want some of that Congressman Massey Commonwealth beef on
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 2: my table. I know what that tastes like. That's solid stuff, sir.
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 2: I call it wangus. I call it wangus.
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 3: The cross between Wagyu and Angus, yeah.
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 2: That's great. Pause for a moment. We are going to
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 2: find out why is this trip necessary. Epstein Files Transparency Act,
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 2: Mark 2. Don't go away. 55KRC, the talk station. 831
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 2: on 55KRC, the talk station. Ryan Thomas with Congressman Thomas Massey.
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 2: What a pleasure. Lots of comments from our listening audience.
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 2: Congressman Massey about how much people are going to miss
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 2: you when you're gone. You know, I.
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 2: It's as if more trolls came out of the woodwork
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 2: after the election, Congressman Massey, than you had before the election.
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know how you deal with that. Go ahead.
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 3: Well, look, I thought on May 20th, after my election,
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 3: my primary, and I lost it, I thought, well, at
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 3: least the paid army of trolls and bots will go away.
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 8: But they doubled down.
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 2: They did.
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 3: They are spending lots of money online.
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 8: They're literally warehouses of trolls.
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 3: That are on there because they're worried I'll do something bigger.
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 3: And they're going to just keep laying down the suppressive
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 3: fire on me, but.
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 2: It's not going to work. Heaven forbid we get country
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 2: of origin labeling for our meat and our chicken out
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 2: in the world. God, you're such a danger to society,
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 2: Congressman Massey. I don't know how you sleep with yourself. Anyway,
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 2: pivoting over. Now, I guess... The Epstein Files Transparency Act,
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 2: overwhelmingly passed by Congress and signed into law, wasn't quite enough.
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 2: You had to create a new cause of action dealing
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 2: with that pesky legal concept called standing. Is that the
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 2: reason for the Epstein Files Transparency Act 2?
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 3: That is one big reason we created it. Let me
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 3: start with another reason, and then we'll get into standing,
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 3: cause of action, whatever the legal terms of art are.
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 3: You're an attorney, so you know this. One, I wrote
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 3: this bill, my staff and I wrote this bill in
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 3: conjunction with the survivors' lawyers and the New Mexico attorney general. Now,
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 3: you may say, why is the New Mexico attorney general
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 3: interested in the Epstein files? Because there's a giant ranch
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 3: in New Mexico called Zorro Ranch where a lot of
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 3: crimes occurred.
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 8: There were more visitors to Zorro.
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 3: Ranch than there were to Epstein Island. And it's like
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 3: a crime scene. It's still there, preserved. Jeffrey Epstein's books
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 3: are still on the shelves. The painting of Delaine is
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 3: still on the wall. And crimes occurred there for which
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 3: the statute of limitations has not expired. There are crimes
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 3: that don't have statute of limitations. They are state crimes.
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 3: And the state attorney general in New Mexico wants to
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 3: prosecute these crimes, and he.
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 8: Wants access to the Epstein files.
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 3: And he's got to have the unredacted versions to give
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 3: the judge. They don't have to release them publicly. He
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 3: needs these in his hands to convict– to investigate, prosecute,
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 3: and convict the criminals. And I asked him.
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 8: I'm like, well– doesn't the U.S.
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 3: Attorney General just cooperate usually? Like, what usually happens in
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 3: an instance like this? And he says every single time.
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 3: He said it's like it might take you a week
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 3: or two, but any time you need a file from
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 3: the feds, you know, the states need a file from
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 3: the feds, the feds will give it to him. He's
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 3: never seen anything like this in his life. Todd Blanch
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 3: will not allow him access to the files that he
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 3: needs to prosecute these crimes. And we're saying if Todd
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 3: Blanch is not going to prosecute these crimes as the
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 3: chief law enforcement officer in the United States, then let
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 3: the state attorneys general do it.
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 8: And I suspect there are.
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 3: Also crimes in Florida and crimes in New York where
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 3: those attorneys general could prosecute. And so that's what this
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 3: bill does. First, I think that's the most important thing
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 3: this bill does is it allows these crimes to be
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 3: prosecuted under state law and state courts. Next, it gives
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 3: standing to three, as you were saying before, to three
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 3: categories or groups of people. Number one, the survivors get standing.
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 3: Todd Blanch is withholding the survivors' own forms, the 302
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 3: forms that the FBI has to fill out Every time
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 3: they interview a victim or a witness, it's just a
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 3: very standard form. And we know those forms are missing,
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 3: and some of them are overly redacted, and they say
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 3: they can't even unredact some of these forms, which is
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 3: not true.
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 8: They just need to go to the FBI.
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 3: The DOJ needs to go to the FBI or the U.S.
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 3: attorneys and say, give us the unredacted ones because the
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 3: cop is in the DOJ's possession. They just have a
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 3: copy that happens to be already redacted. But they can
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 3: go back to the FBI and to the U.S. attorneys
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 3: and get the unredacted files. In any case, they're overly
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 3: redacting the 302 forms that the survivors need to see
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 3: and the survivors' families.
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 8: And in some cases, they're withholding them entirely.
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 3: This gives those survivors unambiguous standings to go to a
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 3: court and basically the judge can't throw out their case
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 3: by saying you don't have standing. They would immediately have
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 3: standing to litigate this in court.
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 8: It gives the.
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 3: State attorneys general the standing to do the same thing,
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 3: and it gives members of Congress standing to go to court.
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 3: So I can't go to court and test the legal
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 3: theory that Todd Blanch is using to withhold some of
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 3: these files.
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 8: Let me give you an example.
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 3: By the way, he admits he's got 6 million files,
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 3: and he only thinks we need to see 3 million
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 3: of them. And so the question is, what's in those
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 3: other 3 million files? I don't care so much about
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 3: how many files I get, but I know there are
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 3: files that he has that he's not giving us. Let
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 3: me give you an example. And in the Extinct Files
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 3: Transparency Act Part 1, we say that they have to
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 3: release the documents and memos, internal documents and memos, about
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 3: their decision to prosecute or investigate or not prosecute or
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 3: not investigate. And that's clearly in our first bill that
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 3: passed both chambers and was signed.
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 8: By the president.
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 2: It's the law.
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 3: But there's– It's a law, and a new law overrides
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 3: any old law or old rules.
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Okay.
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 3: But they're trying to assert that they have deliberative process privilege. Now,
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 3: that is a term of art that's applied to Freedom
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 3: of Information Act requests. If you, Brian Thomas, say, I
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 3: want to know this thing, and you request it from
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 3: the government, they don't have to show you their homework
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 3: to their deliberative process. All they have to do is
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 3: show you the final result. But that's Freedom of Information
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 3: Act law and rules and precedent. And even if it
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 3: did apply to something like the Epstein files, the fact
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 3: that we put explicitly in the first bill that they
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 3: have to deliver that means they have.
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 8: To deliver it.
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 3: You can't hide behind some pre-existing law. And This is
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 3: just a concept of the way walls work.
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 2: Congressman Massey, giant burning question on my mind. Why the stonewalling?
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 2: Why is this going on? What's Blanche's problem? Didn't Donald
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 2: Trump campaign on releasing the Epstein files? Didn't everybody sign
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 2: up on the original Epstein File Transparency Act, which is
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 2: the law of the land? It was overwhelmingly passed. What's
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 2: going on?
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 3: You cannot imagine. Well, let me close that thought out
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 3: and then answer your question.
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 8: Why the stonewalling?
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 3: Okay, so our– the new bill, number one, it gives
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 3: members of Congress standing. Okay, that's the third category. So
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 3: we could take Todd Blanch to court, and a judge
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 3: I think in one minute would rule for us. Yes.
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 3: Because his proposition is so ludicrous, Todd Blanch's proposition. And
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 3: then we also use the word deliberative process. We just
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 3: flat out say you can't exert that privilege. Okay, even
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 3: though we don't need that language because if we can
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 3: get him in a courtroom– The judge would acknowledge that
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 3: we don't need that language.
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 8: Well, we put it in there. It's boots and belt
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 8: and suspenders. So why the stonewalling? Well, let me talk
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 8: to you about the degree of stonewalling.
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 3: If you remember last year about this time, they shut
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 3: down Congress for about two months to avoid swearing in
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 3: a new member of Congress, which was going to be
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 3: and ultimately was the 218th signature I needed. Now, they
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 3: blamed it on the government shutdown. but I've been in
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 3: Congress for 14 years, and when the government shuts down,
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 3: Congress still stays open because we're the only ones that
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 3: can open it back up. We have to pass the
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 3: spending bill that opens it back up again. But Mike
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 3: Johnson kept it shut down. I call it the Epstein shutdown.
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 3: a year ago to try to give the White House
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 3: more time to beat up my Republican co-signers to get
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 3: their names off of the discharge petition. It didn't work,
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 3: but they ended up shutting down Congress for two months.
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 3: I predicted about a week ago, a week and a
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 3: day ago on a Tuesday, we came back to Congress
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 3: after a five-week recess. I heard a rumor that And
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 3: it made so much sense to me that I put
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 3: it out there on the Internet, and I said, Mike Johnson.
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 8: Is likely to shut.
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 3: Down Congress until the election to avoid me getting 218
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 3: signatures on the Epstein files, just like he did last year.
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 3: He goes on TV, some reporter asked him, and he
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 3: said that, he said, let me tell you what, Thomas
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 3: Massey's idea is stupid. And then he said it was
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 3: ludicrous or something like that, that if I would just
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 3: come to the meetings, I would know we're going to
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 3: work every day on the calendar until the election. And
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 3: two days after he made that statement.
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 8: He called off two weeks of Congress so that we
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 8: won't be– in.
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 3: Other words, there's only two more full days that we
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 3: will be in session.
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 8: That's next week.
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 3: We fly in on a Monday– We work on Tuesday
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 3: and Wednesday, and we fly out on a Thursday. There
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 3: were supposed to be two more weeks in addition to that.
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 3: He cut them off the calendar because he doesn't want
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 3: me to get to 218 signatures. Why?
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 8: Why?
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 3: And this is the thing that should heighten your suspicion.
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 2: They're already heightened.
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 8: Mike Johnson.
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 3: went out and made such a strong statement that we
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 3: are going to work every day at the counter because
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 3: he knows it looks bad.
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 8: If we quit.
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 3: We've got the majority in the House.
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 2: And the Senate. What's he afraid of?
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 3: Why are we not passing country of origin labeling, for instance, right?
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 3: There's time to do that before the election. Why are
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 3: we not doing these things? And then why did Mike
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 3: Johnson just make such an absolute fool of himself by
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 3: going backwards?
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 8: It's because he got a call.
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 3: I guarantee you he.
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 8: Got a call from somebody.
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 3: Over in the executive branch or this cabal.
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 8: Of Epstein associates who.
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 3: Are friends with Donald Trump who said, Massey's done it before.
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 3: He's going to do it again. Snap the ball and
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 3: fall on it. Run out the clock. Do whatever you
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 3: got to do to keep Massey from having time to
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 3: get 218 signatures. Because Congress has to be in session
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 3: to collect these signatures.
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 2: Well, so they're afraid of what the documents are going
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 2: to reveal. That's the only conclusion I can draw.
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, then there it is. You know what? And
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 2: I don't care if it's Republicans or Democrats. I don't
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 2: care who's involved. There were women, there were girls, there
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 2: were young people that were molested by this pervert and
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 2: everyone who seemed to have hung around with them. You know,
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 2: this demands justice. And this is why I find it
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 2: so insane that you need to have Epstein filed Transparency
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 2: Act 2. Even to give standing, thank you, Blanche, for
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 2: standing in the way of justice being served. Is his
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 2: name in the documents, perhaps? I don't know.
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 8: This is the other thing.
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 3: I read 14 names on the floor of the House
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 3: last week of men for which I have information, and
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 3: I can't disclose my source.
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 8: I'm using myself as the shields.
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 3: People say, oh, well, we saw these names in the
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 3: Epstein files. This is nothing new.
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 8: We've heard these names.
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, their names are in the.
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 8: Phone book, too, okay?
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 3: But what I'm trying to convey is these people, I believe,
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 3: are guilty.
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 2: I see.
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 3: And I have information beyond what's in the Epstein files
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 3: to make this implication.
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 2: Guilty. Guilt deserves punishment. Criminal justice means equal treatment under
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 2: the law. If I went out and molested a kid,
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 2: I would imagine the prosecutor would come down on me,
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 2: and you know what? I would deserve it. Looking for
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 2: justice here. Congressman Thomas Massey is trying to deliver on it,
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 2: and look at the stonewalling that's going on. Congressman Massey,
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 2: no wonder you're a lightning rod for controversy, controversy that's, well,
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 2: created by the other side of this argument. You're always
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 2: welcome on the morning show, Congressman Massey. Hell, you can
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 2: come on every day if you want, as far as
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 2: I'm concerned. I'll miss talking to you when you're gone,
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 2: but hopefully you and I will be able to have
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 2: more conversations soon.
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 3: Where do I send my resume? I need, you know,
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 3: you don't get enough vacation, sir. What does filling in
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 3: for you pay?
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 2: Hey, be careful what you ask for. You may find
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 2: your wish granted easily. Much to the delight of the
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 2: listening audience on the 55KRC Morning Show. Congressman Massey, God
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 2: bless you, sir. We'll talk again soon, I hope. Take care.
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 2: It's 845 right now at 55KRC Talk Station.
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 3: 55KRC!
