  Speaker 2: Some will vacation and that's the way the news going.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Of course here in the greater Cincinnati area we always wait.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Two more shootings in downtown CINCINNTI thanks Joe for that
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: update from the one that happened this morning. Good timing
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: to have Corey Bowman back on the fifty five kr
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: S Morning sho that's coming up at six thirty. My
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: name's Brian Thomas, host of the fifty five Carsey Morning Show.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Joe Strek I referred to the executive producer of this
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: program and a man without whom I could not do
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: this program because he lines up guests and he takes
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: care of callers, and you can call. I'd love to
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: hear fro him. You got something to say? Five one, three, seven,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: four nine, fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: three Talk found five fifty on AT and T phones
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: and as always a reminder, fifty five KRCY dot com,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: where you can stream the audio directly from the website,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: can download your IHEARTMEDIAUM so you have it on your
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: device wherever you happen to be. And of course check
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: up on the podcast Judge Annapolitanic question do we still
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: have a constitution? Also talked about the War Powers Act.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Where we are vis a viv ongoing situation with the Iranians.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Are we going to be bombing them tomorrow? Are we
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: going to continue to negotiate? Seemed to be in a
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: big state of flux. They've got some details on that
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: we can talk about this morning. And the ripple effects
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: are obviously profound and trouble brewing within the Maga camp
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: in so far as the Iran warriors concerned. Is a
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: report about some polling done and some well, I can
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: just read you the headlines and get the details of
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: that later. Even the most loyal young Maga warriors jump
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: ship over the Iran war. I think all the young
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: people that gravitator to Donald Trump, most notably young men
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: who voted for him in very good large numbers, more
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: than majority of them did so on one of the promises
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: he made in the campaign trails no more of these wars,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: no more ongoing wars, wars without end. And a lot
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: of people feel like they've been betrayed because we of
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: course launched in a war against the Iranians anyhow, It's
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: just a reality. Whether or not you agree with that,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: or you've turned your back on Trump because of that,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: or you feel bad because the economy is terrible and
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: you think this was all a stupid exercise. I don't know.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: People are all over the board on it. Will we
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: have a better world without the Iranians? I think if
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: we could just make that happen, I believe the answer
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: is yes. It's the problem of reaching that point and
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: what we might have to go through to get to
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: that point, and are we willing to stick it out?
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: And is the globe going to stick it out anyway?
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Corey Bowman coming up about why for a mayoral candidate,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Corey business owner, a resident of the city of Cincinnati,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: someone who lives among, in and around the violence we
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: read about all the time. Return at six point thirty
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: to talk about, well, why are people leaving Cincinnati? That
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: may be one of the reasons right there, the violence,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and get to the most recent shooting we have. This
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: article was out of Biz Journal. City population dropped nearly
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: five hundred. We've lost five hundred people in a calendar year,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and this is I guess reflective of a longer term
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: trend not a popular destination for people to select and
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: move into. Also, toxic chemicals. Corey wants to talk about that,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: sick buildings and over the Rhine. We previously heard about
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: this Preservation of Affordable Housing POAH, which I guess provides
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: in some measures of affordable housing and over the Rhine
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: and low income housing. But they got a problem with
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: toxic chemicals, chloroform, benzene, rats, sewage backups, mold, lack of
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: hot water inoperable stoves at apartments owned by this which
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: wscpo's nine I team has been reporting on now for
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: several years. In a most recent article about this just
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: from about a week ago. So Corey with details on
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: that again six point thirty with Corey followed by Congressman
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Warren Davidson. Where is he on the latest on IRAN? Also,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I'll be talking about taking funding away from the National
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Endowment for Democracy and they Save America Act? Will it
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: ever pass? Something that's got a lot of people behind it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Christopher Smitheman on a rant about that early in the
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: program being insulted as a black man in America, that
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the Democrats regularly insult the black community by telling them
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: that they're too stupid to be able to get a
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: photo ID when they all have them already, most everybody
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: does stating the obvious anyway, pivoting over police on the
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: scene presently downtown Cincinnati. Happened this morning as I was
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: driving into work three o'clock in the morning. We got
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: a man shot while in his silver Sedan Ninth and
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Walnut Streets apparently then pulled into a parking lot and
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Eighth and Walnut Streets. About three o'clock this morning, as
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I mentioned, officers had a show up blocked ninth and
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Eighth Streets man take of a UC medical center. Currently,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the injuries are not believed to be life threatening, so
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: apparently this is a didn't die anyway thankfully as officers.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Here is the reporting from uh we'll give the Fox
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: nineteen credit on this one. Ready, as officers responded to
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: this shooting, he observed a windows shot out on Walnut
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Street where spot shot her. A gunshot detection system picked
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: up thirteen rounds being fired. Now, the fact that we
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: have spot shot her on and active, is that a
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: good thing or a bad thing? Just a general Gennire question.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Is it a good thing for police to know the
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: area where the shots came from. Well, no kidding, it's
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: a good thing. That will allow them to know where
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: they need to go. And maybe, just maybe, if a
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: guy's getting all shooting in a neighborhood, squeezing off thirteen rounds,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: we can pick him up. Now. Is that a racial statement? No,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: does anyone of any color in any community when guy's
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: running around squeezing off random rounds or intentional rounds, thirteen
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: of them. I would like to think the answer to
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: that is absolutely not. I want that guy out of
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: my neighborhood. In fact, he's squeezing off rounds. I want
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: him a rested, I want him picked up, I want
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: him thrown in jail. I want him prosecuted to the fullestuctent
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: of the law. I think that will be a reasonable
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: response to that. It is a criminal will assume doing
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: that unless the person squeezing off rounds in self defense.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: But let's just take our typical scenario here, an idiot
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: with a gun shooting around people into crowds or whatever
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: they're doing with their guns, probably under disability, which means
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: they're not even lawfully allowed to carry one in the
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: first place. All bad? Now, is that particular characterization of
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: that typical person, say anything about the color of that
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: person's skin. No, No, there are idiots doing that of
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: all races, creeds, and ethnicities in multiple neighborhoods around this
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: great land of arts. The sad, pathetic reality. But you
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: know this is the one we live in. That's why
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: we have law enforcement. Thank god, technology's gonna help us
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: along the way. We don't have to kind of scratch
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: our head in wonder shots fired. We got a nine
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: to one one called said shots were fired and I
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: don't know where. They just said they hurt them generally
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: in the neighborhood with if you got spot shot or
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: you can hone in right in that area where it
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: came from. It's modern technology. Why am I going on
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: such a tear on this because we have an illustration of,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: well what the left thinks about spot shotters. We go
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: to Cambridge, Massachusetts. Yes it is a died hard left
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: wing city, so you know what's coming here, right. They
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: voted earlier this week to end the use of spot shotter,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: not gonna use it. They apparently had it five to
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: two with two abstentions. We're getting rid of it, city council.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Any money more than thirty residents expressing their strong opposition
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: to spot Shotter, citing, of course, given my comments leading
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: up to this racial concerns, see if you can make
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: some sense out of this shield. Bon mcdonnough man introduced
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: himself as a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Of course he had to identify himself with that. We
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: know who he is. Here's the council, in his words,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: to remove the hidden microphones in working class, majority black
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and brown neighborhoods in our city, claiming the well business
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: model of the company that operates Spotshotter is, in his words,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: totally reliant on Donald Trump's. He had to get Trump
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: in there, didn't you, Donald Trump's Department of Homeland Security.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: This unacceptable to the people of Cambridge, as they tell
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: you over and over, stop wire tapping Cambridge, take down
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: spot Shotter immediately. Oh do you think that is a
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: widely held belief among everyone in the city. I think
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: it's certainly a widely held perception among the people in
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the circular pleasure fest that is the Democratic Socialists of America,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: rantings among their own echo chamber. Moving on to other comments,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Andrew Kim, also a Democratic social in America, a self
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: described member that saying Cambridge residents have voiced how shot
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Spotter has been deployed in a way to further inequality
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: and systemic racism in Cambridge. Hole in the hell? Is
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: going after a bad guy further inequality?
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Y'all?
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: You want to take a stab at that one? How
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: does going after a bad guy cause more? Well, if
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: you believe the system is systemically racist, fine, but how
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: does going after a bad guy using location information brought
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: to you by spotshotter say anything about racism? Another DSA member,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Kyla Gooddale, claim Spotshotter amounts to, in her words, unfettered
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: surveillance on the largest populations of black and brown residents
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: in Cambridge, funded by DHS and undermining cambridge status as
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: a sanctuary city. And our commitments do not collaborate with ICE. Huh.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: If Spotshotter detects gun fire in any given area of
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: any city where it's deployed, how does that have anything
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: to do with cooperating or not with Ice? Are they
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: suggesting that it's the illegal immigrant population which they want
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: to protect? I suppose even if they're round squeezing off rounds,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: is that them being racist? Are they suggesting that it's
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: members of the immigrant community, the ones that are firing
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: off rounds, and the only thing that spotshutter picks up
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: is the discharge of a weapon. Now, every single one
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: of these human beings in the DSA probably has an
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Alexa in their home. Alexa pull up whatever listening to you?
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Twenty four to seven at least, spot shutters designed to
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: just pick up gunfire, not find your favorite song that
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: you can't find on your own. A woman named Virginia
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Suarez providing some digital commentary, she was afraid to show
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: up for whatever reason. I am a black and brown person.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Can you be both, Joe whatever? And so please consider
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: me as if I were right there with you guys,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: saying it in person, right that spotshotter. They do not
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: make our city safe. What would make our city safe
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: is to have now work with me on this one.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Because I stumbled over her words and I'm just going
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: to read her words. What would make our city safe
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: is to have spaces, to have resources distributed before things happen,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: not after things happen, but before things happen. To provide
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: spaces for the youth to have jobs, for the youth
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: to have places to be at and the that does
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: not start with the aftermath close quote. Now, who can
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: argue with that? One woman brought in recorded voices of
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: people complaining, people who I guess we're afraid to go
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: to the meeting themselves. One voice, delivered in Spanish refers
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: to the danger as a spot shotter poses to quote
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the families of Cambridge, especially the immigrants, the mixed status,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: those who work in essential jobs. How is Spotshotter's deployment
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: targeting any singular human being of any particular class, race,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: or ethnicity. It detects gunfire, so you see what is
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: revealed here. Doesn't this suggest that these DSA folks they
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: are screaming out loud about spotshotter are afraid of criminals
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: being caught, and if criminals being caught is going to
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: lead to systemic racism I guess, or extending it because
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: we know we're already systemically racist. Are they suggesting that
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: the people being caught are all people of color or
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: illegal immigrants? Ergo report Awarding that information to the general
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: public is going to perpetuate in their in their eyes,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I guess, the myth that people of color and immigrants
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: are the ones responsible for running around neighborhood squeezing off rounds. Hmm,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know, actually I think I do five eighteen
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: right now fifty five k se DE talk station five
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: one three, seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: two three talk found five fifty on AT and T
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: phone Corey Bowman kind of around that subject. Coming up
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: at six thirty. I'd like to hear from you. Got
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: more stories talk about of course bottom there well, heal
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: local stories and a stack of stupid in the five
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: o'clock hour. I'll be right back.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: Our calendar never reads.
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: No events schedule.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: It's gonna Friday E five one three seven nine fifty
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: five hundred two three talk. Yeah. Pivoting over where are
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: the best cities in the United States? Well, if you
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: look at US News and World Report, the ten best
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: cities are in of course GOP Republican led States, and
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: only one isn't. Over All, the mayors are conservative in
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: values and overall. The one theme that's taken away from
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: the US News and World Report about the top ten
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: cities in the United States, And again, I guess some objective,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I suppose in some subjective, but they pull on this
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: every year. The theme that runs through is law and order. Yes,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: the safest cities are the best cities. No kidding. Carmel,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Indiana coming to number one anyway. Speaking of Carmel, India,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: the mayor there, Sue Frank Finkholm, a Republican, said, our
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: focus has always been on cultivating a safe innovation, minor
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: diviter in community, build big dreams. Second most prized city,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: which would be Fisher's, Indiana. Congratulations to my friends in Indiana.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: The top two spots Mayor Scott Fadness. Oh, he's a
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Republican toe too shocking.
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: No.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: One. Rochester Hills, Michigan Mayor Brian Barnett, a GP of
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Fish who served in office for twenty years. How did
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: you get him? In Michigan? A Republican can get elected
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: in one of the smaller cities there where the well,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: crime is not a problem for them because they keep
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: it cracked down. John's Green, Georgia, Mary John Bradbury, there's
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: no tolerance for breaking the law in his city. City
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: officials worked to be more accountable, transparent, justifying any additional spending.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: That was another reason for the top polling on these
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: various cities. It's quality of life. They looked at affordability,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: a strong job market, and overall desirability. Law and order
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: and more accountability in government spending coming in as one
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: of the reasons these various cities are ranked so high. Accountability.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Do you think we have any of that here, Joe
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: in the Greater Cincinni area? Accountability anyway? Again, over and
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: over again, you reach the top of the ranks because
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: you provide a safe environment. And how is that a
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: mystery to anyone anywhere? Someone to send us down, I
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: have to have pearl ball. He won't read it. Okay, well,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: just a bit pessimistic that it might do any good
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: on there five to twenty five right now, fifty five
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Caracity Talk station. He's not even in town. Just you

  Speaker 3: some beautiful parks out.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Here, yes they do. And we had some friends that
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: live in Carmel, so I've been there quite a few
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: times and it's a very very nice neighborhood.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yeah. And that that one country club Crooked
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Stick where they had a I think they had a
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: PGA championship here years ago. Look pretty nice. So anyway,
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: but yeah, I mean you. You bring up two particular
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: good points common sense. Well, who wouldn't agree you that
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: law and order is going to make a nicer to
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: live in. I mean, yeah, it shouldn't shock anyone, right, I.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: Don't.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: I don't understand. Well again, you get to your next
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: the next point that you made. The only reason people
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: are going to have a problem with is are people
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: who do not want to be held accountable. That's the
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: a word that you're using. It's a It's a really
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: bad word for people. They want to be able to
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: do what they want, they don't want anyone to stop
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: them from doing it, and they treat you like you're
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: you're you're bad if you are trying to hold them accountable.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Oh no, we can't have that. You have to let
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: me do whatever I want. Otherwise I'll come up with
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: anything and everything you say to try to make you
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: look like the bad guy, because what what are you
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: trying to do? You're trying to make me do things
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: that the law says I'm.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Supposed to do.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Oh god, we can't have that. Or like at work,
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: you're trying to make me do stuff that apparently I've
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: agreed to do because I've accepted this job. It's ridiculous Brian,
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: that people don't and we all, I guess we all
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: to some extent face that whenever we're being held accountable,
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: you know, and we like, well, we try to come
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: up with some defense or something. But when you start
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: turning on the people who are trying to make your
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: neighborhood safer, you've crossed over into being ridiculous. That's obviously
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: you're on the wrong side.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: The idea is we want to be able to sleep
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: and sleep soundly and knowing that we're safe. We want
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: our children to be able to be safe when when
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: they go out and play and go to school, and
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: we want, you know, we want to be able to
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: be safe when we go to the store, we go
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: out to eat or whatever.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Uh, you just know when you go into an area,
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: you can just tell it's just not it's just not
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: as safe. It's not clean, and people don't care as much,
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: you know, because they don't take care of them of
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: the area, They don't make sure they clean up after themselves.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: You can just kind of tell. You go into a
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: certain town or a certain part of town, you kind
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: of tell and it's not based on just the people
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: and what they look like. It's based on how the
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: place looks just in general, the kind of cars that
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: are there, the way people keep their laws or don't
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: or whatever. You know, you can just kind of tell
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: because people give a crap. In certain places they care
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: what their place looks like, they care how they present themselves,
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: and then other places they don't care. They don't care.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: And in fact, if you care, you're apparently the problem.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: So and it's pretty it's pretty obvious. You stated it.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: And all these you know, different cities and how they're run,
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: the kind of government, the political affiliation with the people running,
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: it's obvious. It's it's no shock and and and so
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: you have people who don't want to hear it. They
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: want to be able to do what they want. They
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: don't want anyone to stop them from doing it. And
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: as a Democrat run cities and Democrat run states, it's
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: very obvious. So I don't understand what the confusion is.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: It shouldn't be any people. If you want your place
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: to be safe, if you want to live in a nice,
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: clean area, don't vote Democrats. Have a great day.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: And to Jivy just sent me this article about spotshotter
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: everybody in the article who's critical a spodshotter says, well, yeah,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: it does decrease response time for the police to get there.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Even the biggest opponents of spotshotter, they all agree, yes,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: we get police in there quicker, we know where it is.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Your response time will be shorter. But the problem is
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: they keep saying, yeah, that may be true. It's a
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: band aid, it's a small component. Response times can be quicker,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: but it doesn't address the root cause of gun violence.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Says one they found no meaningful reduction in crime compared
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: to areas without spotshotter. Well, that may be because you've
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: kicked the important leg of the criminal justice system out
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: from under you, because you don't prosecute, prosecution and holding
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: people accountable, holding them out as cautionary tannels to those
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: out in the world who would go running around shooting people.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: You're going to pick them up. And if you prosecute
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: them and you send them to jail for a long
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: time and let the community know that that is exactly
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: what will happen to you. That's where your reduction in
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: crime comes. But in order to do that, you got
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: to arrest the criminals and prosecute them. To the fullest
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: extent of the law. Spotshowder is a tool to accomplish that.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: But who among us thinks that that one tool alone
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: is going to result in reduction in crime. I would
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: never make that argument. It will cause an increase in
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: the number of criminals or likely increase in the number
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: of criminals being captured when they squeeze off rounds. Depends
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: on how you look at it. As bo it's five
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: thirty five right now, stack a step be coming up.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: More more phone calls. I welcome those. I'll be right
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: back fifty five KRC and Happy Thursday. Struggle me with
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: a temporary about a dyslexia. Apparently, thank Chip again for
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: a flag of that for me. I can see spot
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: shotter over and over and over again. I don't even
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: catch myself. It doesn't even make any sense whatever. You
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about, though, So the records corrected
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: every time I said spotshot her in the for Goren commentary.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: I met shot spot her with that out of the way.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Stack is stupid. I just told myself at the top
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: of the stack is stupid on that one. Just acknowledge it.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Seventy five year old woman's now dad this after a
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: fight with an employee at a Tim Horton's restaurant happened
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: in Indiana last week fort Wayne. Specifically, the police department
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: there identified her as Anita An Grayson they checked out
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: the surveillance video video of the fight took place shortly
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: before her death. At the restaurant. Video shows Grayson entering
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: the coffee chain at eight am, apparently to deal with
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: some issues she had with her drive through order. She
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: then began quote berating a seventeen year old female employee.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing, don't be ms Grayson. Twenty year old shift
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: lead then step between Grayson and the teen and told
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Grayson to leave. Seventy five year old then appeared to
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: move around the shift lead. Yes. Joseph moved around the
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: shift lead the teen employee when the shift lead putting
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: her hands on Grayson. In response, she then shoved the
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: shift lead backwards and struck her in the face. A
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: seventy five year old woman shift lead then went toward
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Grayson's swinging your arms. Grayson responded by grabbing the shift
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: lead by the hair and pulling her to the ground,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: while the shift lead swatted at Grayson's arm. During the fight,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Grayson pulled a chunk of hair from the shift lead head,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: leaving a raw area on top of her head. According
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: to the police support, two other tim Morton employees then
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: stepped in to separate Grayson and the shift lead. Once
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: they were separated, employee went behind the counter. Grayson sat
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: down at the table and began talking on her phone,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: at one point grabbing the shift lead's ripped hair from
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: the floor and placing it in her bag. Is that
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: a trophy, Joe? You think? Ten minutes later, Grayson lay
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: on the floor and the shift head went to check
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: on her, bringing her a cup of water. Second employee
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: also came over to check on Grayson. Police got there,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Grayson was unresponsive. Medics started life saving measure took her
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Coroner's office
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: has not ruled has not ruled on a cause and
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: manner of death as the other day, but finding show
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: there were no significant contributory injuries HMM. Her daughter, to
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Wanda Grayson, said she does not accept the police account
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: and believes her mom should still be alive. I guess
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: you can believe what you want. Prosecutor's office that it
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: will not be making a decision in the case yet
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: until they have quote received and reviewed all the evidence
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: related to investigation. Eggshell skull, you kind of take your
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: person as you get them. Maybe this person had some
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: sort of medical complication, you know, something that was unknown,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: a latent defect which that I guess minor fracas caused
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: it to manifested itself in her dropping dead. Anyway, we're
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: left to speculate on that one. Let'see what Bobby's got
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: this morning? Hey, Bobby, welcome to the show, and happy
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Thursday to you.
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: Happy Thursday, my brother, faith flags family and equal time
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: on political ads. God bless me.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Hey, you know you can buy advertising on the fifty
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: five car Scen Morning Show. I would just suggest that
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: if I'm not recommending any particular good or service, then
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: well you can draw your own conclusions. I like to
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: help people along and drawing those conclusions by endorsing products
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: that I thoroughly and fully believe in, because I won't
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: speak for a gooder service unless I thoroughly and fully
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: believe in it. So go ahead, Bobby, Lit'll pat myself
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: on the page.
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: No, that's great, Hey, and shady lamb. This weekend, we
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: got the handicap at five and a half ooh six.
• 26:28
  Speaker 7: Maybe it's gonna be high even though the weather conditions
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: is gonna be wet.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, just gonna ask you about it.
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: We've got two on them. We've already got two on
• 26:35
  Speaker 7: the day and the chart right now for just last night.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: That is true.
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: Stop.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: But you're over and under on the people getting shot
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: and downtown Cincinnati doesn't that Isn't it like a Friday
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: through midnight Sunday kind of thing? I guess I never
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: did ask you what the time parameters are for that.
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: It should be Friday, Saturday of Sunday, Okay.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: But every day of the week there's an opportunity to
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: commit crime.
• 27:01
  Speaker 7: It doesn't stop. You know, people don't realize Cincinnati's in
• 27:04
  Speaker 7: the top five most violent cities in the nation per capita.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Am I crack you M? I understand that school is
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: not out yet for the summer.
• 27:11
  Speaker 7: Bobby, Or is it it is for a bunch of
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: the thugs that don't.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Go well, there's always that, But Judge's confirmed to me
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: no school is still in session. So TikTok, TikTok. You're
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: over and under numbers I think are going to go
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: up as we move into summer. Break season, Bobby, the warm.
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: Weather is going to bring them out.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Bro.
• 27:31
  Speaker 7: They like kicking ant hills. They'll be out there on
• 27:34
  Speaker 7: the streets. Be careful, be safe, and make sure you've
• 27:37
  Speaker 7: got a lot of things to go inside your self
• 27:39
  Speaker 7: protections device.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Oh you mean extra rounds.
• 27:44
  Speaker 7: Yes, because if we ever go into national emergency, as
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: we did twenty five years ago on September eleventh, they
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: will take all the ammunition off the shelves in one moment. Well,
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: I have a firearm that doesn't do you any good
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: if you don't have anything to go in it.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Well, you know what I fear more than an national
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: emergency along those lines, I fear the price of ammunition
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: going up. So buy while it's on sale and available,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: and you've got all your contingencies covered, don't you, Bobby.
• 28:10
  Speaker 7: Sounds like a winner to me, my friend. Be safe.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: I always look for bargains when it comes to, you know,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: ammunition purchases, because they do have a way of fluctuating wildly,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: especially when times get a little dicey out in the world.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Plan had be prepared and Bobby didn't mention seventy two hours.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: But we'll just throw that in since you typically do
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: comment on that, Bobby, good to hear from you. Five
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: one three seven four fifty five hundred eight hundred and
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: eight two three talk five point forty five right now,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: be right back with more stupid fifty five talk station.
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: The timing's bad on the taste of Cincinnati, isn't it?
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Moving away from anything related to crime in downtown? Just
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: the fact that it's going to rain so much. It's
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: I hate to see that kind of thing happen anyway.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Five one three, seven four nine fifty five hundred eight
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: hundred eight two three talk. I got stacked stupid in
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: front of me. Who is teaching your children?
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Tennessee, specifically Montgomery County, where the Montgomery Central High School
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: head a bit of a problem on its hands. A
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: woman there, seventeen year old Mackenzie allen Thorpe, said she
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: was talking to her teacher, a guy named Matthew Vetter,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: when he showed her pictures on his phone. She said,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: he showed me a picture and it was like a
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: project that he was working on, and then it was
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: like he was doing going into detail about the project
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: that he's been working on. And then he swiped over
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: and it was full of nude photos. She said she
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: saw between six and eight photos as he kept sliding.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: That's when she ran to call her mother. I looked
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: up to him. He was my teacher, and I'm like,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: why why me? Her parents called a Montgomery County Sheriff's office, saying,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: you know, if for her to see somebody she sees
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: every day, it's her teacher, and to purposely show her
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: holding something out and showing her that's disgusting and it
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: scared her. And she's never seen anything like that before,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: said mom and dad. The district and there's a reason
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: for this. Maybe we'll get to that in just a second.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: The district said the inappropriate photo was accidentally briefly, their
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: words displayed while Matthew Vetter was showing an appropriate image
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: of the student class.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: Whatever I know.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Sixt eight times, I know, Joe. We're getting to that.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: They confirmed. He was immediately resigned to an alternative work
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: side off school property, will remain there pending the outcome
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: of the external investigation. The teacher, Matthew Vetter, happens to
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: be the husband of Clarksville Montgomery County Schools Superintendent doctor
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Jean Lunavetter. District protocols require them to delay any internal
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: investigation until all its outside reviews are conducted. Human Resources said,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: there are no prior complaints or discipline actions about this guy.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: He's been employed with with the district since August of
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Then they pointed out again by law and policy,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: employees are afforded due process. Let a foot dragon on
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: that one. Joe Mackenzie, for her part, channeling Joe Streker,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Joey anticipated, this doesn't believe it was an accident, no,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: because I mean, I feel like if it was an accident,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: he could have jerked his phone away and said, oh
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: my gosh, I'm so sorry. You're not supposed to see that.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: He could have apologized, or he could have had, you know,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: jerked his pune away. But that's not what happened. Sheriff's offics,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: confirming the statement that that Matthew Vetter is in fact
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: the subject of an investigation of Fischal, said the findings
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: then will be submitted to the District Attorney's office for
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: review upon completion, and the Department of Children's Services is
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: also conducting its own external investigation. Yeah, I think we
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: got to just walk away one here, Joe Strecker, North
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Carolina man headed to prison for a long time. Apparently
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: he shot his wife in the back and threw her
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: body into a lake from a bridge because he wanted
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: to escape their arranged marriage. Oh ma Our Matthew ibra
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Him Drabbik, who's thirty seven sentence of twenty five to
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: thirty one years in prison for second degree murder and
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: six to nine years for concealing the death of his wife,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: hadial Gandaffer Hickmott. She was thirty four years old when
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: she got killed. Yeah, Irish Joe, you're right. Cops learned
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: that hick Matt arrived in the United States roughly a
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: year prior after drab Dick. Drab Dick's mother arranged a
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: marriage for her son of the victim of court in
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: the court room report, but Drabbik soon soured on the
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: marriage began looking for ways to get out of it.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: A warrant reviewed by the authority says a Drabbik wished
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: his wife would run off with a rich guy knight
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: of a murder. Drabbik picked his wife up from at
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Walmart where she was working. The two went to eat
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: it at Denny's. Drabik told a friend that the two
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: of them went back to a park around two o'clock
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: in the morning, where they met a man from Iraq
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: who drove a van. The murderer told his friend that
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: the man kissed his wife and said Hickmack should not
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: be with the man while nothing and with nothing, and
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: needed to be with someone who had money. Obviously strained relationship.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Dravik claimed his wife left with the man in the band.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: His friend told police that dravig story didn't make sense
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: right and didn't think it was true. Authorities determined that
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: a Dravic drew his wife to the bridge for their
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: fatal encounter after two thirty in the morning. He apparently
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: recently bought a gun, recently bought the gun he used
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: to kill his wife, and reportedly searched his phone for
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: ways to get away with murder. Oh, there's that pesky
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Internet keeping all of your searches there for authorities to
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: look back on. Investigators discovered her blood on his shoes
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: and in the trunk of the car. Prosecutors said sentencing,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: the situation between a Dravic and the victims, or rather
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: the the whole thing spired out of controls. Bottom line
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: is what this says there's no one I think in
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: this courtroom or even listening who could ever have predicted
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: what would happen a while would happen. According to the prosecutor,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Dravik's mom said she bore some responsibility for the tragedy,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: as she's the one who set up the marriage. No,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: I think I'll give you a pass over that this
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: is purely on his hands. Defense attorney said their client
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: had autism and lacked the social skills needed to end
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: the marriage peacefully. Whatever that's your defense, Well, no wonder
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: he's going to prison for a few decades and asked
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: if you wanted to address the court. Drabick's response, from
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: the bottom of my heart, I'm sorry. Yeah, well I
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: think we can add on. I'm sorry. I got caught
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: five fifty six fifty five kersite talk stations plenty coming
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: up to the six o'clock hour, including the former mayoral
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: candidate Corey Bowman of why people are leaving the city
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: of Cincinnati, plus sick buildings in over the Rhine, and
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: I'll start at six thirty with Corey. I would like
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: to hear from you if you want to give me
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: a call either way, I'll be right back after the
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: top of the air news we put the app in
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Happening talk station. I heard radio six or six hair
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: fifty five Karosite Talk station. My name is Brian Thomas,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: host of D fifty five Karroosee Morning Show, and the
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: executive sabooth ory belongs to Jostrecker. You give Joe a
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: call and he'll put you on the screen and I'll
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: put you on the program five on three, seven, four,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: nine fifty eight two three Talk Pound five fifty on
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: AT and T Funds. Coming up bottom of this hour
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: six thirty with Corey Bowman, former mayoral candidate. It's an
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: article that was published why people are leaving the City
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: of Cincinnati parent the population numbers and the city dropped
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: by five hundred, which was I guess continuing a longer
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: term trend that going on in this city. You can
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: draw your own conclusions on why people are leaving. I
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: think so very logical and read reasonable ones pop up.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Maybe the administration and it's failure to address the most
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: important needs of the city like public safety and roads
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: and infrastructure. Anyway, Corey's kind of comment on that at
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: the bottom, along with the sick building reporting that's been
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: done some affordable housing entities. Has got some real problems
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: on its hands with fermaldehyde and benzene and bugs and
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: rats and no hot water. List is very, very long,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: and it's been widely reported now for quite some time.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: So Corey on those two topics. Congressman Warren Davidson, fast
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: forward one hour. We get the latest on Iran. I
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: got a couple of comments on that about he'll talk
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: about taking funding away from the National Endowment for Democracy
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: and the Save America Act question mark will it ever pass?
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: It should? It's one area that most Americans pull pretty
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: strongly on. You know, photo ID requirement, and of course
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: it is federal law. You have to be a citizen
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: of the United States of America to vote in election.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: That's right there. It's been on the books for a
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: long time. And in order to prove that, why wouldn't
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: you have to prove you're a citizen. It's a prerequisite.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: So we'll hear from Congressman Davidson on that at seven five,
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: followed by yes it is Friday E. J. Rattler at
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: eight thirty. I heart media aviation expert. Feel free to
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: give me a calling. I'll servidor fifty five KRC dot
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: com and you can't listen live. Like to Judge Nitopolitano yesterday,
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: I recommend you check that one out. B. Vake Ramaswami
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: on the telephone with me yesterday talking about his rolling
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: back the income tax, dealing with property taxes in the
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: state of Ohive. He has got some good ideas and
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: he is all about attracting business and industry to the
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: state for all the obvious reasons. So I saw that
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: oil prices this morning, oil prices were down, they dropped
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: more than six percent. I didn't check independently on this.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: This is a hot off the press article this morning.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: Dollar trading to blow a six week high this morning,
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: says easing as investors grew optimistic that Washington could be
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: nearing an agreement with Tehran and this war situation we
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: got going on in there, And I was like, where
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: did that information come from? Because, as Walsert journally in
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: the notes, I think astutely, we seem to be at
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: a crossroads with the Iranians. How long have we been
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: going back and forth? We're gonna drop bombs, No, we've
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: paused that we're going to negotiate. Here's a list of demands,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Iron takes the demands, throws them out the window. Hens
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: over there. It listed demands, which is the polar opposite
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: of what Donald Trump. Wash rents repeat as a journal notes,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: if Ron keeps stringing his Donald Trump's diplomats along negotiations,
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: what is Donald Trump prepared to do to win the war?
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: It's a good question, and it's not an obvious answer.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: As they astutely note, we have pummeled their military. It's
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: not gone. We have set back their nuclear program. Obviously
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: they have some enriched uranium, which is a constant problem
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: in so far as these negotiations are concerned, and of
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: course Iran has refused over and over again any stoppage
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: of the nuclear programs period. They give Trump credit for
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: rejecting bad deals with Iran in terms that it might well,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: in terms it might open the straight or moves up
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: easing pressure on the Iranian regime with nothing by way
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: of or with nothing by way of dealing with a
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: nuclear concession. They're not going to concede. So we are
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: in this posture right now, they say. You know, yet,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: as trump cease fire has now exceeded the length of
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Operation Epic Fury, even as Iran renegged on reopening the
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: straight and fires on Golf states as well as our forces. See,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: that's where I keep with it, Like, how can you
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: call that a cease fire when that has been ongoing.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: These missile launches from the Iranians well subsequent US blockade
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: on shipping to and from Iranian points ports is meant
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: Iran suffers most and it is their leaders there are
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: safe and they don't care that their people are suffering.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: They put their religious convictions over any suffering. You know,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: the pain's worth it. You know we're dealing with We're
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: doing this for Allah fundamentally, and it journal says, you know,
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: if the goal was to see whether Iran's regime is
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: ready to abandon to pursue of nuclear rep weapons, by
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: now Trump has his answer, it isn't. The Iranians confirmed
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: this with each counteroffer that refuses to dismantle underground and
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Richmond sites or hand over their stockpiles of enriched uranium.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: On Tuesday, Trump said there's no question in my mind
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: that if that they would use a nuclear bomb if
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: they got one, but he gave the Iranians another chance.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: On Monday this week, he said he was an hour
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: away from starting the bombs dropping, but he got a
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: call from the United from the various Middle Eastern oil
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: producing countries like Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates, saying,
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, hold on, We're close to a
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: deal here, so pause it. So he did. He went
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: on to point out, I hope we don't have to
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: do the war, but we may have to give them
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: another big hit. That was when he said two or
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: three days, maybe Friday, that's today, or tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: or something. So this nebulous we're gonna start dropping bomb's
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: time frame. But back to the Journal's observations, such threats
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: have been repeated so often that they now face diminishing returns.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: Iran doesn't seem to believe them. In many cases, the
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: regime seems prepared to ride out further conflict and fight
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: back by And here's the problem, targeting the golf allies
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: and commercial shipping. And I've been sort of swirling questions.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to this a little bit more in
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: a moment. If we got the greatest military of the
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: where we got every boat over there, we have, yes,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: obviously a huge military presence, and with the small width
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: of the straight up horror movies. You'd think that American
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: military might, unparalleled as it is, would be able to
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: open a small stretch of waterway. Now, theoretically, I suppose
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: you could. But the biggest problem I think it's something
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: that Daniel Davis keeps bringing up. You can make drones
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: for virtually no money. They have multiple, you know, in
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: somebody's basement drone manufacturing facilities. They send them out in
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: waves of hundreds, and in every wave of drone strikes,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: what happens. Most of them get shot down, but some
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: of them always end up making it through. That may
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: be broad brushing that, but it seems that in most
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: instances there's at least something that's going to get through.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: And that is the problem. I imagine. Can you imagine
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: launching thousands of drones into that sort of narrow strip
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: and sixteen miles call it narrow or not, you're going
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: to hit something. You may end up hitting one of
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: America's aircraft carriers. That's a threat and concern. You also
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: may start blowing up oil ships that are packed to
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: the brim with oil. Of course, the environmentalists will go
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: nut cases when the oil slicks show up boats will
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: be at the bottom of the sea. The international community
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: to go crazy. I mean, you can you know that
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: maybe one of the reasons the Navy or the navy
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: and the military hasn't tried to escort the boats through.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: That's my guess. Anyway, the good deal is impossible. Back
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: to the Journal's observations, the good deal is impossible. Trump
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: will have little choice other than to resume using military force.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: But to what end? Resuming the war needs to be
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: tied to a strategic goal that can be achieved without
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: the Iranian regimes agreement one option, and this sounds so lovely. Okay,
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: there's a great idea. Wall Street Journal seese Iran's enrich
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: uranium and destroy its potential en Richmond site beneath Pickax Mountain,
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: or aid Israel in attempting it. Okay, So the next
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: sentence is going to be how we accomplish that, right,
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: editorial board. Now, the aim of doing that would be
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: obviously to further degrade Iran's nuclear thread changing the contours
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: and negotiations and revising what a deal would have to achieve.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: If the grave this nuclear threads can be taken off
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: the table for many more years, the need for a
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: deal with Iran, declines no kidding. So do they offer
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: any solution on how we might accomplish that, because I
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: think that might involve a massive boots on the ground invasion.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: If you're going to start digging that stuff out of
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: the ground, as buried as it happens to be, apparently
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: you're going to need to establish a base there right,
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: start the works, get the bulldozers out, get the boots
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: on the ground and digging the stuff out. You're going
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: to have to keep that ground secure, and I suspect
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: as degraded as the Irani military might be, they're going
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: to continue to attack you while you're trying to achieve
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: the goal of getting out and getting the nuclear the
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: enriched uranium out of the mountain. But again, the journal
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: offers no explanation or suggestion on how to accomplish the
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: ultimate dream goal, which is to get that out of there.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Another option pivoting over is to continue the Iran blockade
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: while putting together a naval and air mission to escort
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Something I keep going
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: back to, why hasn't that been done yet? I think
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: it's my comments about drone strikes. But I'm no military analysts.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: It just seems logical. There's a reason we haven't tried
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: to escort ships to the Strait of horror moves. Maybe
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: they haven't set it out loud, but the obvious elephant
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: in the room seems to me the idea that they
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: have thousands of drones and can launch pretty much an
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: unprecedented and NonStop attack on any ships or ship groups
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: that go in. Now, the Journal thinks that you escorting
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: ships through is militarily possible, and if the strait is
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: reopened by force, time will be on America's side. Mister
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: Trump could then afford to wait allow in the US
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: blockade to raise the pressure on Iran as it forced
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: to shut to shut in oil wells and ration gasoline.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: That's the inevitable thing that they believe is going to happen.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: The longer you keep the run at bay, the more
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: likely it is're going to have to shut down the wells,
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: which will ruin the opportunity to start the wells back
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: up down the road. Apparently there are complications with that.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: That's going to destroy their economy even more down the road.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: But it doesn't answer the question on how to accomplish
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: the escort. They say Trump could also destroy Iran's oil
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: infrastructure in stages. Sure, obviously this has been avoided so far,
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: suggesting the regime would see these assets as something to
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: lose if it doesn't accept the deal. You know that
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: looming threat has been there. Listen, Iranians. Trump might have said,
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: through his negotiators over the negotiation tables, we can knock
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: your entire economy into the fifth century BC by blowing
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: up all of your oil infrastructure. You can't protect it all.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: We got the bombs and missiles and the way to
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: deliver it. That's not been done. And apparently that looming
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: and I would argue existential threat to the Iranians face
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: by having their entire oil infrastructure blown up. Hasn't moved
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: them off the dime. All of this carries risks, they conclude,
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: both militarily and economic. But by now the president has
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: no options that don't include risks. Signing a mooted letter
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: of intent to continue negotiations for no days a cease
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: fire extension for Iran, in essence, would merely rise the
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: costs while letting Iran string Trump along. Here we go
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: even closer to the election uske de turnce against China
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: particular would suffer and they didn't elaborate on that. But
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: you see, the Iranians know damn well what's going on
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: in this country. The polling suggests Donald Trump is not happy,
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: are not favorably viewed here, And I got some backup
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: on that one that people are not happy with how
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: the war is being waged. The American people are tired
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: of the increased gasoline prices. Obviously the inflationary ripple effect
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: with everything else because Diesel's gone through the roof. We
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: could go on and on and on about the perils
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: and the problems that this war has started and brought
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: to the world. So it's not a popular conflict. Ultimately,
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: whether it's moral, ethical right, we can make that argument.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: Somebody's got to deal with the Iranians. They've been a
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: thwart in the world side since nineteen seventy nine and
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: finally someone stepped up to the plate to do it.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: But when you do that, you got to deal with
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: the aftermath and the downside risk, and that's what we're
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: doing and moving toward November when people might say, you
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: know what, I just paid five dollars for gasoline. I
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: am pissed off. Part of this was brought about because
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump decided to do what every administration prior to
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: this claim they wanted to do. But you know what,
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: I'm going to vote for a Democrat just because, which
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: sounds to me unbelievably illogical. But that's the direction we
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: see to be moving. Five one, three, seven, four nine

  Speaker 1: com and get yourself some Rhino shild Here fift you
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: have KCD talk station. Corey Bowman coming up in the
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: next hour is our next segment. Rather wondering why people
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: are leaving Cincinnati, Corey's going to offer his thoughts on
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: that one. Being a resident of the city of Cincinnati,
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: I think he really knows what's not right with the city.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: Plus sick buildings and over the rye. That may be
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: a little bit more with Corey Bowman coming up next,
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: and you know, great observation, Eric, you were talking about
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: the straight to Hormoziona might swirling question, why haven't we
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: just opened it up by escorting ships through. I think
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: I put some points to reason why. I don't think
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: that's happened. Yet, if that was a feasible alternative, I
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: gotta believe the American military planners might have tried to
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: do that already. I just think the absence of an
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: effort by our military to escort boats thus far suggest
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: that I think my points are accurate. And further to that,
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: Eric says, you know, the straits maybe sixteen miles wide
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: or twenty or whatever we'll figure you want to throw
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: on it. But similar to I seventy one with the
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: shoulders in the medium, the navigable lanes are only a
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: few miles wide. So let's take Eric at his word
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: on that, which I conclude backs up my point about
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: the drone concern. We know they have them. If it's
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: only a few miles wide of navigable waterway, that really
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: does narrow down the width of what needs to be
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: saturated with drone strikes, doesn't it? So three miles as
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: opposed to sixteen if that's the only navigable stretch in there,
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: And I'll take Eric at his word on that, which
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: means you can more readily cover a saturated campaign in
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: that narrow earth strip than you could with a wider strip.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: It just means it's that much more dangerous to try
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: to use an escort to get them through. The escorts
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: are going to be subject to attack, and so are
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: the boats that they're escorting. So Joe and I were
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: doing an exchange here off air, and or actually it
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: was Christopher Smithman. He was talking about the options there
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: and there aren't really any clearly good options. I refer
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: to the situation my military friend's out there as really
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: definitionally speaking a Charlie foxtrot six twenty five right now,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: fifty five KRCD talk station. Corey Bowman coming up next first,
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: fast and pro roof and get the best. Yeah, six
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: point thirty right now, I fifty five KERCD talk station
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: by Thomas Always pleased to talk with former maryl candidate
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: Sadley didn't get elected, things might be different and perhaps
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: better than downtown Cincinna. Maybe the population would increase had
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: we mayor Corey Bowman, but we don't. But we still
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: get Corey Bowman's resident of the City of Cincinnati, business
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: owner in the City of Cincinnati, and a guy who
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: it's always paying attention to issues that are impacting the
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: residents of the city Sincenay Corey Bowman, welcome back to
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: the Morning show, my friend. It's always great having you
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: on the program. Joe Well, I see he's on the line.
• 50:18
  Speaker 5: Good morning.
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: What the hell happened to you?
• 50:23
  Speaker 5: Sorry? My Golden retreatment was barking earlier, so I had
• 50:26
  Speaker 5: it on you just to make sure.
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: But that we're good.
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: Appreciate your efforts at providing a clean communication. That's an
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: important thing to overcome that mute button. Corey Bowman, how
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: you been house things in your neighborhood? And before we
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: pivot over to people fleeing the city, sinceny, I know
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: there was another person shot this morning, three o'clock in
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: the morning at was it Walnut Street and Ninth A
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: little bit outside of your area, but close enough that
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: I guess this is kind of a common occurrence for you.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: Corey Bowman.
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's good to the point, you know, as a
• 50:57
  Speaker 5: warm month, I mean we see this every year, you know,
• 50:59
  Speaker 5: as the warm month tappen, then obviously the crime will
• 51:02
  Speaker 5: go up more people are out and about, but this year,
• 51:05
  Speaker 5: just trying to monitor the location specifically, just trying to
• 51:09
  Speaker 5: get a handle on specific reason obviously, and what we
• 51:13
  Speaker 5: can do to kind of raise awareness of it and
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: possibly affect policy in the future. But yeah, we're definitely
• 51:19
  Speaker 5: seeing an increase in shooting, specifically in our area of
• 51:23
  Speaker 5: West End OTR. Very some very sad things happen.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: Well, I've seen quite a few articles in you and
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: I've talked about this before. There seems to be no
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: acknowledgment that we have a gang problem in downtown. And
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: you kind of wonder, you know, any given shooting is
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: something went wrong between the two They knew each other,
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: they were mad at each other, someone got a little
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: you know, over zealous in espressing their anger in the
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: form of gunshot. So that's a dispute between two individuals,
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: unlike say a random where a guy just unloads a
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: couple of magazines into a crowd of people, which I've
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: never understood. You know, there's no specific target and all that.
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: But the tracing it to the why are people using guns?
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: Is this in your mind? And have you heard it
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: is a gang related issue?
• 52:07
  Speaker 6: We have?
• 52:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, because the biggest issue that we're seeing with
• 52:12
  Speaker 5: all this is youth violence. It's youth guns. And even
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: just recently there was on mcmickon there was an interaction
• 52:21
  Speaker 5: where two seventeen year olds. Two teenagers were trying to
• 52:24
  Speaker 5: purchase guns illegally and they led to an altercation. And
• 52:29
  Speaker 5: what we're seeing here is a major thing of the youth. Now,
• 52:31
  Speaker 5: when it's happening in the youth, when it's happening with
• 52:35
  Speaker 5: ages that are in teenage years, this can be related
• 52:38
  Speaker 5: to gang violence. And then what you're seeing is that
• 52:41
  Speaker 5: a lot of these shootings are happening at specific areas.
• 52:45
  Speaker 5: I keep telling the city and other people that are
• 52:49
  Speaker 5: involved in the process that the number one area is
• 52:51
  Speaker 5: you got to keep an eye on. Are the city parks, Downtown, Downtown,
• 52:56
  Speaker 5: Grant Park, Laurel Park, Fairview Park. These are hotspots and
• 53:01
  Speaker 5: these are areas where you know, for I mean, I
• 53:03
  Speaker 5: guess the terminology is turf wars or areas. You know,
• 53:07
  Speaker 5: these are areas that get hit a lot because these
• 53:09
  Speaker 5: are congregated areas for these groups of teenagers that the
• 53:15
  Speaker 5: classification is gangs and we won't talk about because of
• 53:19
  Speaker 5: you know, so the negative connotations behind that of what
• 53:22
  Speaker 5: we've seen in the past, and that's exactly what's happening downtown.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: Well, it seems to run contrary to the argument that
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: many make, Well, we just need more safe spaces for teams.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: We need places for them to gather and you know,
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: have shared experiences. And I guess one make make a
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: good argument a park. It's an ideal spot you can
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: get involved in sporting activities, walk around, commune with nature,
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: sit and enjoy life. However, but if it becomes just
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: another slice of turf, like any other slice of turf,
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: it becomes a magnet then for more violent So I
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: I guess maybe community rec centers could suffer the same
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: fake Corey, if the gangs decide they want to claim
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: a community rec center is their turf.
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and let me tell you.
• 54:00
  Speaker 5: About you know some things we've experienced. Number one at
• 54:02
  Speaker 5: Laurel Park. It's about three blocks away from our church,
• 54:06
  Speaker 5: and I've talked about it before, but one of our
• 54:09
  Speaker 5: church members, her granddaughter, eleven year old Queen Irie, was
• 54:12
  Speaker 5: shot on January first of this year at Laurel Park.
• 54:16
  Speaker 5: I passed by that park every day driving to whether
• 54:19
  Speaker 5: it be our coffee shop or our church, and there's
• 54:21
  Speaker 5: nobody playing there. There's no families out there enjoying that park.
• 54:25
  Speaker 5: It's a large piece. The only time that people feel
• 54:28
  Speaker 5: safe is if it's like a community event or if
• 54:31
  Speaker 5: there's a lot of people at once every exactly, but
• 54:35
  Speaker 5: you're everyday kids playing on the park, it doesn't happen.
• 54:39
  Speaker 5: So those are things that we're encountering there. But also
• 54:42
  Speaker 5: you know, last year we had a back to school bash.
• 54:46
  Speaker 5: We actually reserved the high school stadium that's downtown. It's
• 54:49
  Speaker 5: a Stargull stadium. And what we do for all of
• 54:52
  Speaker 5: our events like that is we have registration. We block
• 54:56
  Speaker 5: the entrance to a lot of these events that are
• 54:58
  Speaker 5: held there open entrance that anybody can come and go,
• 55:03
  Speaker 5: and so we had security at the front. We had
• 55:06
  Speaker 5: a police presence there, but the police presence was there
• 55:09
  Speaker 5: just to show off the SWAT truck and to be
• 55:11
  Speaker 5: able to make it fun for the community. But I
• 55:14
  Speaker 5: can't tell you in the West End how many single
• 55:17
  Speaker 5: moms came up to me, hugged me and said thank
• 55:20
  Speaker 5: you so much for having this event and having the
• 55:24
  Speaker 5: registration at the front, because our kids need a safe
• 55:28
  Speaker 5: place that they can actually enjoy. Because we had bounce
• 55:31
  Speaker 5: out as food trucks, so the kids were having a blast,
• 55:33
  Speaker 5: but they said that rarely they can experience something like
• 55:37
  Speaker 5: that in the community because of safety issues. So that's
• 55:40
  Speaker 5: why I realized that, you know, this is affecting the
• 55:42
  Speaker 5: whole community, and we've got to get a handle on it.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: Well, continue with Corey Bowman too, a quick break here.
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: And I saw something happened in Chicago about a week
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: or so ago led by ministers as sixty on a
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: Friday e Brian Thomas with Very Bowman, former mayoral candidate,
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: on thoughts and impressions about violence and problems with gangs
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: perhaps downtown since say one of the root causes of
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: violence among the teenagers down there. Corey Bowman, you mentioned
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: the whole concept of strengthened numbers. People won't go to
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: the parks, they're typically empty because of the concerns about
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: violence that obviously have manifested themselves. But when you have
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: a big group getting together, you got the Bounce House,
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: you got things to do for children and families, they
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: all show up and strength and nothing happens by way
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: of violence. And it made me think of this strength
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: and numbers concept. Chicago pastor, oddly enough close to your name,
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: his name is Corey Brooks. He's behind something called Project
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: Hood and he hosted this what was called one thousand
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: Men unity gathering a few days ago declaring that this
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: was going to be a one hundred percent violence free
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: zone in the surrounding area. It's about creating a culture,
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: he said, where men stand together to protect families, mentor
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: young people, reduce violence, and build something that will outlive us.
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: It was pastors, mentors, active as business leaders, former gang members,
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: residents from across the area, and they describe the unified
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: effort to promote safety, accountability, and opportunity. It sounds to
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: me like residents stepping up and deciding they are not
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: going to put up with it anymore. Providing that strength
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: and numbers concept they had, I mean, it's hundreds and
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: hundreds of people showed up. Now if they were to
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: continue this along those lines, members in any given neighbors
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: in any given community out number I'm sure by far
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: the number of gang members. Right, So if there's gang
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: members in your community, you're frightened of them. If the
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: community were to rise up, maybe engage in neighborhood watch patrols, regularly,
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: keep in contact with the police, in other words, cooperate
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: for the purpose of making their community better. We could
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: sure use a lot of that help from residents within
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnati. Court does it sound like a
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: concept that could work or am I just live in
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: a pipe dream here?
• 57:47
  Speaker 4: No?
• 57:47
  Speaker 5: I think obviously does work.
• 57:49
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 57:50
  Speaker 5: One of the things that we fought on last year
• 57:52
  Speaker 5: was we've got to fight against the mindset of optics
• 57:55
  Speaker 5: over outcomes. Right, So a lot of things do come
• 57:58
  Speaker 5: across as hey, we're here just to take the pictures
• 58:01
  Speaker 5: to get the news articles. But is it really making
• 58:04
  Speaker 5: a difference. And there's things that we've got our hand
• 58:06
  Speaker 5: in the west End right now which I truly believe
• 58:10
  Speaker 5: are making an impact.
• 58:12
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 58:12
  Speaker 5: One of the things is that we actually just hosted
• 58:15
  Speaker 5: at our coffee shop a west End Business Council and
• 58:21
  Speaker 5: business owners in the West End came together at our
• 58:23
  Speaker 5: coffee shop. It was hosted by Galen Gordon, who is
• 58:26
  Speaker 5: the president of the West End Community Council, and just
• 58:30
  Speaker 5: having those conversations with community leaders and seeing what's the
• 58:33
  Speaker 5: best way we can do to further A lot of
• 58:35
  Speaker 5: it isn't even just talking about the crime and talking
• 58:37
  Speaker 5: about how can we further development, how can we work
• 58:40
  Speaker 5: with the city to kind of bypass a lot of
• 58:43
  Speaker 5: red tape to make sure that we get growth going
• 58:46
  Speaker 5: as quickly as possible in our communities because I mean
• 58:49
  Speaker 5: our coffee shop, the block just by our coffee shop
• 58:53
  Speaker 5: being there has completely changed where the crime just on
• 58:57
  Speaker 5: in our short area there, you don't really see a
• 59:00
  Speaker 5: lot of activity there Now three or four blocks late
• 59:04
  Speaker 5: down the road you might see something. But we've got
• 59:06
  Speaker 5: our hand in that and we're trying to grow those groups.
• 59:09
  Speaker 5: And then there's you mentioned the pastors gathering Pastor James Strayhorn,
• 59:15
  Speaker 5: who is also in the West End. He works with
• 59:18
  Speaker 5: us the City League Center in the West End and
• 59:21
  Speaker 5: we've just come on board with him. It's called a
• 59:23
  Speaker 5: Faith Advisory Council or Spiritual Advisory Council. I've joined him
• 59:28
  Speaker 5: with the National Day of Prayer. Was able to meet
• 59:31
  Speaker 5: a lot of local pastors and leaders at that and
• 59:34
  Speaker 5: we're going to be meeting on a regular basis to
• 59:37
  Speaker 5: discuss how we can do community outreach. One of those
• 59:40
  Speaker 5: is like what we talked about the Back to School Bash.
• 59:42
  Speaker 5: We're continuing that in a couple other summer programs this year.
• 59:46
  Speaker 5: So there's a lot of good things happening. But you know,
• 59:49
  Speaker 5: it's a marathon, it's not a spread. This is something
• 59:51
  Speaker 5: that it's going to take everybody and it's going to
• 59:54
  Speaker 5: take consistency, and I think that's something that a lot, unfortunately,
• 59:58
  Speaker 5: a lot of elected officials don't understand, is that it's
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 5: not about climbing the ladder to get to a state
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 5: or federal level. It's about having the consistency locally to
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 5: make the impact in our city.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: That we love. Does outreach from you know, pastors, ministers
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: in the religious community, does that have an impact? Does
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: it resonate with young people anymore. I'm kind of worried
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: to even ask that question because I'm afraid you're going
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: to say, no, they do not have faith, they do
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: not have a belief in a higher power or something
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: that's bigger than them, because that seems to be the
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: direction we're going.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 5: Well, what we believe is that, you know, the Bible
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 5: talks about Jesus said that we're fishers of men. So
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 5: if you're a good fisherman, you got to have some bait,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 5: you got to have a lure or a good net.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 5: And that's what these outreaches are to us. It's a
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 5: way to be able to grab a hold of these
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 5: young people because they'll always come to the events. They
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 5: want to have a good time. Right, But then what
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 5: it's going to take is consistent discipleship and leadership. One
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 5: thing I've realized is that a lot of young men
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 5: specifically will come into our church on Sundays and I'll
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 5: have conversations with them, and they are hungry for strong
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 5: male leadership. I try to talk with a lot of
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 5: guys in our community. There's a business owner his named
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 5: Jeremy Wilson. He owns Wilson Maintenance that lives right across
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 5: the street from my coffee shop, and there's probably about
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 5: ten young men that he's always trying to correct or
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 5: trying to disciple because the community is hungry for strong
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 5: male leadership, strong male role models. And I think like
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 5: bringing the pastors together, having a community church like we
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 5: do in the West End, to where we're not necessarily
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 5: on the outskirts. We're there for the community every Sunday
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 5: speaking the Word of God, but also providing that connection.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 5: And I think that's something that's very important. We're seeing
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 5: results in it. I've seen it in several young men
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 5: in our church to where we've seen them, you know,
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 5: whether it be an unexpected pregnancy with the girl that
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 5: they're with and all of a sudden their relationship is
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 5: flourishing their ale to be a good father. They're able
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 5: to be strong in their job and in their career.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 5: So we do see the difference. We do see change
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 5: like that, But like what you said, strengthen numbers. We
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 5: need all hands on deck and everybody kind of contributing consistently.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know what, I wish parents plural were
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: part of that equation more than they seem to be.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: You know, no way in hell that I could have
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: gotten away with being out at two o'clock in the
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: morning on a weeknight when my house. I know what
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: that have led to. And the parents don't make them
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: take a more you know, active role in minding their
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: children and sending them on the right path. Maybe get
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: them over to church on a weekend so they can
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: interact with you. Don't go away more with Corey Bowman
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: six forty seven fifty five KRCD talk station USA Premium
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: fiem It's outstanding. It's six fifty one fifty five kr
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: CD talk station. That'd be Friday E. Brian Thomas with
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: Corey Bowman form a mayoral candidate. See the population of
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnati drop by five hundred in the
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five calendar year. He says, kind of reversing
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: a trend. I guess the city population it was gradually
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: increasing since the twenty twenty census, but dropped a little
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: bit last year. But the increase, it's according to the
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: reporting in biz Journal that this has something to do
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: with the immigration and that migration patterns have changed a
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: little bit. I guess with Donald Trump cracking down on
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: illegal immigrants coming into the country, we had significant gains
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: in the Hispanic share of the population for the first
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: time in twenty twenty. Sixty one percent of the population
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: growth in that year was attributed to their moving into
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: the area. So is that what we are relying on
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: in terms of bringing people into the city so they
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: can work and thrive and pay taxes to the city
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: Coffers doesn't sound like a recipe for success if you're
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: going to rely on the illegal immigrant community. Corey Bowman
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: your thoughts.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I know. That was something that at the beginning
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 5: of the campaign last year, we were looking at the
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 5: population growth, and we once we started diving into the numbers,
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 5: we realized that much of the growth of what they
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 5: were touting and since I was due to immigration. And
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 5: then you start looking at that throughout every major city,
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 5: you know. I mean, as we were running our race,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 5: we were watching races in New York City, and even
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 5: now we're seeing races in la and city officials, you know,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 5: running for office, whether it be for mayor you seeing
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 5: what Spencer Pratt is doing over there. But with these
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 5: debates and with all these you know, races happening, you
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 5: start realizing that it's the same issues all across the
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 5: board for all these major cities. And a lot of
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 5: these major cities we're trying to up the population based
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 5: on immigration, and a lot of it has to do
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 5: with votes, a lot of it have to do with
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 5: census and making sure that they secure their district and
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 5: secure all.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 3: Of that as well.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 5: But also I would say that you know, a city's
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 5: population growth that's primarily dependent on that, you're you're gonna see,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 5: You're not gonna see the best results you can. That's
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 5: just because you know, we've always been a city to
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 5: where a lot of young people in the rural areas
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 5: are on the outskirts of Cincinnati. They want to move
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 5: to the city. They want to move for jobs and
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 5: for opportunities, and we're not seeing those same reasons why
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 5: people are moving into the city and it's sad because
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 5: you're not going to see the growth like what we
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 5: would want to in the.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: Future, no doubt about it. And then moving over real quick,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: just your thoughts and comments on the preservation of affordable housing,
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: one of Cincinnati's largest low income housing. They've been in
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: ongoing issues with toxic chemicals just again reported by WCPO
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: chloroform benzine. There's lawsuits out there, no hot water, mold,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: sewage backups, rats, and otherwise generally poor living conditions. It's
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: been an ongoing phenomenon. Your reaction to this and do
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: you know what the genesis of this is and there
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: any way around it? Corey Bauman, Yeah, a lot.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 5: Of this has to do with just not a lot
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 5: of accountability locally where HUD funding is going, where the
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 5: city funding is going. When it comes to landlords and
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 5: for lack of better word, slum lords. We noticed that
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 5: the first year we started our church that people that
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 5: were involved in our church congregation members they were living
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 5: in these affordable housing of POE houses CMHA, and a
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 5: lot of them were getting mistreated. But then as we
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 5: looked into all the details of it, we realize that
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 5: they're well funded. They're getting a lot of money to
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 5: do what they do, and it's not being reflected in
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 5: their care, their maintenance of the building, or their care
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 5: of their tenants. And so I keep telling I keep
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 5: telling people, you're seeing fraud throughout the country when it
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 5: comes to like the medicaid and what you're seeing the
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 5: learning centers in Minneapolis. You're seeing a lot of man
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 5: medicaid fraud. That's happening in Columbus right now. I tell
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 5: people that the fraud that's happening in Cincinnati all has
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 5: to do with the HUD funding. That has to do
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 5: with the affordable housing, and that's why they keep pushing
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 5: every year we need more housing, housing, housing housing. Well,
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 5: you know when you keep pushing that, it's because people's
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 5: pockets are getting deeper, deeper, deeper and deeper.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: No accountabil Gee, we're on a trend here with that
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: just throw money out into the world, say it's going
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: to a good cause, and don't follow up to see
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: whether that money actually resulted in what you threw it
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: out there for.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, No, I mean there's a single mom behind
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 5: my church that lives in a poe of building and
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 5: she didn't have heat or ac for the first year
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 5: that she's living there with her kids. When they call
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 5: to try to say, hey, there's mold in my apartment,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 5: they literally get told verbatim, hey, just wipe it up
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 5: with bleeding or spray paint over it. And then if
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 5: they continue to be a problem as far as complaining
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 5: about it, well then they get evicted. Because there's a
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 5: long list of people that want to step into this housing.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: And so I get it.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 5: When it comes to affordable housing, we really need to
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 5: have a system that helps people out of it eventually.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 5: It doesn't need to be a long term solution for
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 5: generation and generation. But then at the same time people
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 5: have caught on. So this is a money fund on
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 5: the link system. You know, if I can get money,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 5: you know by being a property owner and get it
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 5: clocks by its thirty sixty ami, if I can get
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 5: all these grants and programs, and then the sad thing
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 5: is that if it is in bad condition, if they
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 5: keep it in bad condition, well then that's the appearance
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 5: of they need more money so they can better take
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 5: care of their building. So it's almost done by purpose.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 5: Where as long as there is the appearance of needing
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 5: more money. The money will continue to flow not only
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 5: from the federal not only from the state, but from
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 5: the city budget as well. And it's the taxpayers that
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 5: are suffering because.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: And the residents of the so called affordable housing units
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: that have to live with no heat and rats and
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: apparently toxic chemicals as well. Corey Bowman, you hit the
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: nail on the head on the end there, brother, appreciate
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: you joining the program. Go overing Corey's coffee shop, King's Arms.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: You'll find it. Just look for the cops hanging around

• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: God bless you, sir. We'll talk again real soon. Have

• 1:09:23
  Speaker 6: Absolutely. Good morning, Brian.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: Hey, let us start off on a positive note. A
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: congratulations to you from cribbage Mike aka my submariner friend
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: who has a soft spot and it's hard for the
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: USS Cincinnati peacepoolian at Voa Park what he described as
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: the latest gem in your Congressman Davidson's district. Have you
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: been out to see the Voa Park yet? Before we
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: get into the headier topics of the war where they ran.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I wasn't there for the big ceremony that they
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 6: had Saturday. I had some other commitments on Saturday. But
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 6: I've been out to the park. I've watched the construction.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 6: I was there for the groundbreaking. I'm supposed to take
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 6: a tour there, you know, next week or the first
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 6: week of June. I was supposed to be out there
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 6: and look at it. But it is a gem, and
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 6: you look at you know, Voice of America and the
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 6: iconic role that played and getting the truth on the
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 6: other side of the Iron curtain, you know, once people
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 6: found out the truth and finally found a way, they
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 6: tore their own wall down, and the USS Cincinnati was
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 6: a part of the path to getting from the hot
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 6: wards of the Cold War. It's great that people have
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 6: come together to do that. And you know, Jack Schiff
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 6: and the folks of Cincinnati financial donators a lot, and
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 6: maybe League and Cincinnati donated a lot, and it's really
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 6: cool to see it there.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: All right, let's jump over to this situation where they're
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: on on again, off again negotiations. Of course, you sit down,
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: talk with them a little while. We send over a
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: list of demands. Iran completely rejects him, sends over a
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: counterlist of demands, which seems to be the polar opposite
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: of what we want. Wash Rents repeat, it doesn't seem
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: that the Iranians really care whether or not Trump bumps
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: drops bombs. They don't seem to believe him that he
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: says he going to do it, and he always ends
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: up stepping back up saying, well, I'm gonna pause for
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: a moment because negotiations are going well. They don't seem
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: to be One of the big festering questions I've gotten
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: is a little bit critical of the Wall Street journal.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: I think they did a great job of outlining the
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: options that exist. They don't explain how in the hell
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: we can accomplish the various options one seizing the iranium
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: uranium and destroying its potential enrichment sites. Well, that sounds good, Sure,
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: that's what we want, but that would involve a major
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: military operation. I would imagine Congressman Davidson the other one.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: This is a swirling one for me because they suggest
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: escorting shipping through the Strait of Hormuz with our great military.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: We've got a great one. But if we could do that,
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: take them up on their suggestion over the journal. Why
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: haven't we done that yet? Congressman Davidson escorting shipping through
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: the Strait of Horror moves? Could it be those pesky
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: Iranians have thousands of drones and can watch launch a
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: massive drone swarm blowing up the boats that are going
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: through the narrow Strait of Horror Moves?
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean this is this is the whole way
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 6: to ills. You know, you can choose your own actions,
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 6: but you can't choose the consequences. And that's the reality
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 6: of a war. You know, the enemy always gets a vote.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 6: They do something, you do something. And what Iran was
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 6: doing really prior to February twenty eighth was what they're
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 6: doing today is running out the negotiations keep coming up
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 6: with another well almost but maybe not. But well let's see,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 6: and there's never actually a resolution to the negotiation. You know,
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 6: I think Trump rightly grew impatient with that and then
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 6: took it to it to a whole other level with
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 6: a strike that killed their leadership. You know, the Isatola
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 6: and the top forty or so leaders in Iran's government
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 6: at the time all died. You know, they decided to
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 6: come together for a meeting and a bunker, and they
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 6: took that opportunity to take out the top leaders of
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 6: the country. That began, you know, an intense bombing campaign
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 6: and you know, took out a lot of their missile capability,
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 6: but not all of it. We took out a lot
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 6: of their naval naval ships, but they got a lot
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 6: of what they call fast boats, smaller boats that they
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 6: still operate. And Iran has since you know, totally disrupted
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 6: the flow of ships through the straight up horor moves,
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 6: so you know, along the way, they've got a ceasefire
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 6: agreement and that's mostly mostly held where there's not a
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 6: quote active engagements for the most part. But when the
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 6: US started escorting ships through the Strait, we used our navy,
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 6: you know, Iran shot back at them, and ultimately, not
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 6: just the Navy, but really some of our allies said, well,
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 6: let's not do that, you know, we please don't because
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 6: we don't want Iran to keep bombing and striking some
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 6: of our infrastructure. So the President said, fine, you know,
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 6: we'll continue to negotiate. And that's where we are, you know,
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 6: So we're clearly in a conflict we haven't resolved the time.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 6: But it's the same kind of characteristic that's gone for
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 6: a long time, as Iran keeps talking and not doing,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 6: and the question is, well, what are you going to
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 6: do about it? And what they're not doing inside the
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 6: United States is coming to Congress and get an authorization
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 6: from military force. And the case that's being made to
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 6: the public is diminishing in support. So, yeah, I talked
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 6: to people that were enthusiastic early. You know, with the
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 6: passage of time and kind of inaction, support for action
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 6: in Iran seems to be going down. And certainly as
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 6: people notice, you know, the obvious impact on fuel prices
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 6: and other goods, they're they're not as supportive on that either.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, if you could have pulled off a
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: Venezuela operation already been smiling and happy and giddy with excitement.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: But clearly that is not the situation with the Iranians.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're looking at a pretty significant potential quagmire.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: And to your point, the Iranians continue to just launch
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: missiles not only at our fellow our friends in the
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia and United Arab Memirates, et cetera, whose oil
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: infrastructure is critical to the global economy. Isn't that one
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: of the reasons why we haven't started bombing Iran's infrastructure
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: because if we do that, they're going to launch actions
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: against the other oil infrastructure to other countries they can
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: do it, which means the world's problems would only get
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: exacerbated by that, wouldn't it.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, And I mean this is this is the downside
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 6: is even if there was a perfect resolution with Iran
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 6: and you know, trustworthy validated, the best peace agreement ever reached,
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 6: oil isn't going to come back to natural price immediately
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 6: because you've taken on a massive amount of infrastructure there
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 6: in the whole Persian Gulf, not just in Iran. So
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 6: you know, demand is still you know, a semi constant thing.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 6: People modify their behavior to some extent because it's cost
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 6: in a lot. So there's some behavior modifications that will
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 6: ultimately lower prices a little bit because there's less demand.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 6: But people want to go acts of the things that
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 6: they do, and it's going to be a while before
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 6: the supplies there. So as long as you have high demand,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 6: you're going to have high prices.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I suppose if we rallied around the flag on
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: this and sort of viewed it the way the American
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: population viewed World War two, and did you know they
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: collected scrabs and they bought war bonds and they sucked
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: it up and dealt with the allocations of meat with
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: their little meat stamps and things like that. I don't know.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: I wasn't around at the time. It doesn't seem like,
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: upon reflection, there was a whole lot of complaining. We
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: were collectively sharing in the pain for the greater good.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: We just don't seem to have a tolerance for that anymore.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 6: Well, we certainly don't seem to be. You know, we
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 6: certainly don't seem to be doing that with respect to
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 6: Iran right now. So, you know, people were reluctant. You know,
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 6: from history, people were reluctant to get into World War One,
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 6: they were reluctant to get into World War two, right.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 6: I think that's the nature of the American people. You know,
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 6: we've been very successful in war, but we broadly as
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 6: a public, when the public, it's a voice in a vote,
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 6: would prefer peace.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 6: They want a strong military so that it deters war.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 6: And they don't like the endless wars. It's very unpopular.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 6: And that's that's the reality. People don't want Iran to
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 6: have a nuclear weapon, but they don't necessarily want to
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 6: send their sons and daughters to go make sure Iran
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 6: doesn't have a nuclear weapon.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: Well, and that's just one of the problems that Trump
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: is finding himself running into. There's an article I just
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: read of the Daily Caller about young Maga folks who
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: are really widely supportive of Donald Trump. They voted for him,
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: especially young men. Well, they also bought into the idea
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: that we weren't going to be involved in these wars,
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: and young men, obviously they're the ones that going to
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: be shipped off the wharf it happens, they're the ones
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: that had the biggest risk. But that seems to be
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: a campaign pledge that Donald Trump violated by launching the
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: war against Iran. So the numbers are not looking good,
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: going along with the pain we're all feeling looking bad
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: as we move into November. The Iranians know about the
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: November election, don't they.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 6: Well, they know about all this. I mean the November election.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 6: The first week of June, the War Power ZACH expires
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 6: the ninety days, which has been wrongly applied to say
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 6: the president could do whatever he wants for ninety days.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 6: That's not literally what it says. But there will be
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 6: a vote in early June, and I suspect that the
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 6: War Powers Act will kick in. Every president has said
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 6: it's unconstitutional, but it's never been tested in court. So
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 6: I suspect that it'll pass in June, and it'll say, well,
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 6: you haven't gotten an authorization, you are engaged in a
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 6: conflict that you didn't get congressional authorization for, or therefore
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 6: your in violation of the Work Powers Act. So I
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 6: suspect that the president won't get an authorization and therefore
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 6: will probably challenge it in court. You know, Iran, I'm
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 6: sure it's paying attention to all these kinds of things
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 6: and the level of support for it, and you know,
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 6: I'd say, look, the reality is the cost of war.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 6: The tip of the iceberg is high gas prices. I mean,
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 6: if you go back twenty years for the VA, we
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 6: were spending about sixty three billion dollars a year taking
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 6: care of our veterans, which is right, and just you
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 6: ask a lot of our veterans, you have a moral
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 6: obligation to care for them. And if you look last year,
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 6: we spent over four hundred billion dollars caring for our veterans,
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 6: and a lot of people still feel there's some inadequacies
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 6: in the care for them. We got more than twenty
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 6: veterans suicide today. You talk about a cost of war,
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 6: I mean, this is a real, tangible cost and to me,
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 6: far greater than an extra buck or two for per
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 6: gallon of gas. So that's why I think it really
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 6: is important that the Congress really does, as the voice
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 6: of the people, unite and authorize a war. That's the
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 6: way the Constitution is drafted. And I think that's where
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 6: you get the public support. You want maximum public support,
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 6: because I think if ran knew that the American public
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 6: was bound and determined that they will not not only
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 6: not have a nuclear weapon. They will not run blockade
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 6: on the straight at HERMEUWS and shut down global energy.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 6: But they also won't massacre forty thousand of their citizen sins.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 6: You know, then that would be thinking. The massacres are
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 6: horrendous in their own right. But you know, you look
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 6: at the Armenian genocide. I mean that's a long time ago,
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 6: you know, World War One era with the Ottoman Empire.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 6: What a million and a half people massacre. So you know,
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 6: that's just the things that one group of people does
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 6: to another around the world have been evil for a
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 6: long time. But we're seeing that in Iran. These aren't
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 6: good people. But the American people haven't been rallied to
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 6: say this is our war to fight.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: Plaus fromonte, We'll be in Congressman Davidson back, what in
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: the hell is the National Endowment for Democracy and why
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: are we funding it? Plus will the Save America Act
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: ever passed? Congressman Davidson. We talked Dahan Brian Thomas with
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: Congressman Warren Davidson, pivoting over away from Iran to the
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: National Endowment for Democracy. Oh, hey, it's a non profit organization.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: We are dedicated to the growth and strengthening of democratic
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: institutions around the world. And what do they do, this
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: nonprofit NGO? They are responsible for grants to other NGOs
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: to achieve some sort of nebulous goal of achieving democratic
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: goals around the world. Congressman Davidson, this sounds like a scam,
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: is he there? Are you there? Hey?
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 6: It's got a great origin story, Brian. It started in
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 6: nineteen eighty three and was going on in the Cold War.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 6: It was part of Reagan's move to kind of push
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 6: the ideas and values of democracy around the world. Now
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 6: why is it created as a nonprofit? Well, the CIA
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 6: wanted to do it and make it so that it
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 6: wasn't the CIA doing it. So you had a nonprofit
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 6: that had money that was going to go do it
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 6: do these things that advanced America's goals. And you know,
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 6: I had ned's CEO, who's Damon Wilson in yesterday to
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 6: the Foreign Affairs Committee. And you know, prior to being
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 6: the CEO of NED, he was the boss of the
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 6: Atlantic Council DFR LAB, which is the censor operation. They
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 6: were the ones throttling information about the twenty twenty election.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 6: And what do you know, the only misinformation and disinformation
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 6: about the twenty twenty election that they filtered was pro
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 6: Trump and you know, calling out election integrity issues from
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 6: that perspective everything else they were out there. The truth
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 6: is this is the most honest election ever held in
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 6: human history. Every critique, your criticism of it is fake
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 6: and it's a conspiracy theory. Donald Trump was fully defeated
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 6: Donald Trump. You know, claims about mail in ballots are false,
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 6: even though the reality is many states do maile life
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 6: ballots out all these things that we're still fighting about
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 6: with the Day of America Act, they were doing when
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 6: they were doing this when he was at the Atlantic
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 6: Council of DFR. So this is the guy who Biden
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 6: put in charge of NED National and downmo for democracy,
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 6: and at NED they were putting out Spanish language information,
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 6: you know, in Latin American countries that contradicted what they
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 6: were putting out in public information. So basically, instead of
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 6: advancing America's interests, they were down there pushing Marxist leftists
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 6: all over South America instead of advancing democracy. And you
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 6: know that it's fitting because when democrats say, you know,
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 6: we have to save our democracy, well they mean it
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 6: in the way that NED is saving our democracy, which
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 6: is advancing Marxism. So these guys are doing it with
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 6: our tax dollars and then they're overwhelmingly an overhead machine.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 6: They suck up all the dollars at their organization and
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 6: then grant them out to other nonprofits and they do
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 6: similar So it is a terrible operation. And I hope
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 6: that we finally defund it this year.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, like the USAID when Elon Musk was
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: it there, we found out all this money's going under
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: the world. We didn't even follow up on what the
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: money is doing, whether it's accomplishing whatever nebulous goal it
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: was sent out into the world to do. You just
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: send up having a bunch of nonprofit organizations with oh yeah,
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: members on boards of directors who are paid quite often
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: very handsome salaries. It's this has got to stop. But
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: will it ever stop? Or are they just going to
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: ride this out till another administration comes in with a
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: different political ideology and continue funding Marxism around the globe.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, it's only going to stop if we
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 6: make them. And you know, kudos to the Trump administration
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 6: for turning off to USAID in Trippy Dogs for exposing
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 6: some of the stuff that they've they've done. So in
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 6: this year's budget, we've got an opportunity to turn off
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 6: ned They got about three hundred and fifteen million dollars,
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 6: so you know, in the scheme of money, at least
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 6: we're measuring it in millions instead of billions. You know,
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 6: we can't get a lot of these things turned off.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 6: So you know, we had language in the House build
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 6: that turned off all kinds of things that we got
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 6: to vote on. It just hasn't passed. And you know,
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 6: one of those things, we're literally Tim Burchett's got a
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 6: build that's passed the House. We're still sending forty million
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 6: dollars a week to the Taliban for what we left Afghanistan.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 6: We shouldn't have been given the Taliban at.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 2: Dime anyway, all along the way, and why.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 6: The Senate blockade that explained so many things. People are like,
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 6: when is Congress going.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: To do X?
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 6: Well, the House largely has done a lot of these things.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 6: We have a blockade far tighter than Iran's blockade of
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 6: the straight up or moves going on in the United
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 6: States Senate. It's in the same building I go to
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 6: just you know, a few hundred yards north and they
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 6: won't hold the floor and call votes and pass common
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 6: sense legislation.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: We have met the enemy and they are as Congressman Davidson.
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: Can you stay stick around just to talk about the
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: Save Act for a couple of minutes, Yeah, sure, happy
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: to great. Great, we'll continue with Congressman Davidson. Find out
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: what it's coming up. It seven thirty one fifty five
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: KRCD Talk station. Appreciate Congressman Warren Davidson stand over for
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: an extra segment, so we talk about the Save Act. Listen,
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: it doesn't seem to be a big deal to require
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: someone to prove that they're a citizen in the United
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: States to voting a federal election. Congressman Davidson, it is
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: required that you be a citizen of the United States
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: to vote in federal elections. The Save Actor, of course,
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: would address that and prevent that from happening to a
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: large extent. We don't want anyone who's not legally allowed
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: to vote to vote. So how could anyone be against that?
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: And where are we in terms of process? Because I
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: kind of thought this was going to get through at
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: some point, but it doesn't seem It seems to have disappeared.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: Congressman Davidson, Yeah, thanks.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 6: It's gotten through the House three different times. I mean
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 6: it really only needed to go once. But we just
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 6: keep trying to make the point to the United States
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 6: Senate a pass our bill, do something about our bill,
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 6: and they have their sixty vote rule. That's not the
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 6: real filibuster. The real filibuster is you hold the floor.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: And you have to talk.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 6: Any One senator can only speak two times on the subject,
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 6: so eventually you run through every speaker because the limits
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 6: of human endurance. Even if you get two turns and
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 6: you take an entire day of speaking, you only get
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 6: two days to talk about it. So if every Democrat
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 6: did that, you would you know, in one hundred days,
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 6: you would have exhausted all of their energy. So less
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 6: than that, and in my view, look if the only
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 6: thing that they talk about on the Senate floor between
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 6: now and election day in November is whether it's crazy
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 6: or saying to have voter ID and to make sure
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 6: that only US citizens vote in US elections, I think
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 6: that's great. I'm happy for Democrats to take the position
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 6: and explain to the American people why it's okay that
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 6: non citizens would even be in our country, let alone vote,
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 6: you know, in an election, you know illegally be in
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 6: our country and not vote an election. And when you
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 6: look at the law, there are only fourteen states that
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 6: don't require some form of ID to vote, and the
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 6: abuses on no voter I D are also huge with
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 6: the non citizens that are registered to vote and they
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 6: don't want the screening. So SAVE is actually an acronym
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 6: for a database in DHS, and you would compare the
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 6: existing voter registration file to known US citizen data and
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 6: if you've got mismatches, then that would be flagged where
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 6: the Secretary of State of each state would do further
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 6: screening to make sure that you're there. When you register
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 6: to vote, you would have additional criteria. And that's the
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 6: reality is it would affect when you register to vote
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 6: unless it's a screening for non citizens, and there's a
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 6: lot of misinformation and disinformation out there. Every single voter
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 6: in America would not have to reregister to vote. If
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 6: you registered to vote, you would already be registered for
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 6: new registrations. There would be additional screen and I think look,
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 6: aviak Ramaswami was out saying, hey, if we can't get
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 6: it done at the federal level, we should at least
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 6: do it at Ohio. And right now we do those things,
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 6: but we don't necessarily do those things because they're the
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 6: law or the constitution in Ohio. We do them because
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 6: we have smart officeholders who have fought to do it
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 6: the right way in Ohio, who've been serving as Secretary State.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: Well, I guess you know, going back to the regular
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: filibuster that you spoke of, I don't think they would
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: engage in a thoughtful analysis of why these Save Act
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: is a bad idea. I mean, the only thing they
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: ever say in response that, well, the voter fraud doesn't
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: happen that often, it's always qualified. Yeah, it rarely ever happens.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: This isn't something we need to worry about. It rare. Well,
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: the idea that it could happen at all, it's me
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: is enough. If there's an easy solution, and the Save
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: Act seems to be, then fine, everybody's got to have
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: a photo ID. Anyway, problem solved, doesn't cost a whole
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: lot of money, and we eliminate that it could happen.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, the nefarious component of this is it just
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: reveals the Democrats absolutely and actually want illegal immigrants to
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: vote in our elections. That just seems to be the
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: only conclusion one can reach. But I don't think they
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: would engage in that type of debate. I think they
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: would do is pull out their phone book and just
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: start reading from phone books, which has happened in the
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: past so they can use up time and really anger
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: their fellow senators.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, that's usually what they do. And with
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 6: their arguments, they don't have real arguments. They're out there
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 6: saying that it's oppressive to women and minorities, and you're like, oh,
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 6: so you think women and minorities couldn't figure out how
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 6: to get an ID. I mean they do, as does
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 6: everyone because they function in modern society. He use ID
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 6: for all kinds of things, and so, yeah, it's in
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 6: a nonsensical position, and it really is, I think on
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 6: so many levels common sense versus crazy. They're not going
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 6: to defend their position because it's indefensible. But you know,
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 6: to your point, like they didn't accidentally open the border
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 6: up and flood it with tens of millions of people
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 6: coming into our country illegally. They want to do it
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 6: for a reason, but at the most basic level, they
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 6: do it because it changes the census. Yes, and it
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 6: does drive funding into these cities. But they also have
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 6: future goals including musty for all these folks.
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: Yes, they do. That is just that's not even a
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: secret anymore. Congressman Warren Davidson, thank you very much for
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: your time today with my listeners and me. I truly
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thank you. Detalk Station. Very happy Friday Eve too.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: You try to make it so anyway. You know here
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: about congress Mo Warren Davidson talking about that ridiculous National
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: Endowment for Democracy. We give them hundreds of millions of
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: dollars a year. They go out in the world and
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: they fund nineteen hundred grants to another layer of NGOs,
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: presumably going out into the world to peddal their Marxism.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: They're anti Trump, animus, all of that that's going on,
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: and I pivot over it. I saw I had this
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: article printata about Soros, George Soros, so we all know
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: what he's all about, Open Society Foundation. He's a blank
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: and Marxist, a multi multi billionaire who made money off
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: of capitalism and he hates it and he hates us. Okay, fine,
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there's some sort of DSM five diagnosis. You
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: can put on George Soros for his backcrap, insane mentality
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: on the whole thing. But he made billions and he's
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: allowed to spend it on what he wants. Now, three
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: hundred million dollars he's directed into the United States for
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: the purpose of targeting Donald Trump and his policy. He's
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: donated more than thirty two billion to Open Society Foundation.
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: I guess since its inception it funds progressive legal groups,
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: voting rights organizations, left leaning policy initiatives, right private citizen
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: George Soros can fund whatever the hell he wants, and
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: this new initiative fat cash flowing into fund litigation efforts. Oh,
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: here's one. I guess. He's obviously against the Save Act,
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: voting rights advocacy, economic inequality campaigns, affordable housing, childcare, healthcare,
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: and wage protections. Gee, it sounds like a familiar litany
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: of once in demands, doesn't it. So propaganda funded by
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: George Soros, it's everywhere. He also funds non governmental organization
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: also perpetrate this garbage is from my perspective anyway, but
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: I would argue it's one thing for an individual, private
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 1: citizen like yourself to throw money at whatever you or
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: he wants to do. You got to recognize the challenges
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: you face and of course try to counter it with
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: the counter message. It's another thing when I'm going to
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: work and you're going to work and a big chunk
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 1: of that paycheck you earn is being liberated from you
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: and given to organizations that fund propaganda with your money.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: And that's what's going on. We have to get up
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: and work every day so that our taxes can be
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: taken to send out a message into the world, a
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: political message that runs contrary to everything we believe in
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: and I think fundamentally runs contrary to our constitution, the
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: freedoms and liberties that we are guaranteed in the United States.
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: We made it two hundred and fifty years, and with
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: this kind of stuff going on, I really kind of
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 1: wonder whether we could make it any longer because people
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: bend to the will and the whim of propaganda. How
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: many illustrations do you need on that one? Most notably,
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: and I know how people feel ed Gallrain Thomas Massey.
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: The millions of dollars that were thrown at that obviously
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: has an impact. And again, these organizations can from whatever
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: political campaign they want. But it's the reality that when
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: you have a lot of money and you constantly repeat
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: over and over and over again a message, a narration,
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: a narrative that may be absolutely a lie, you can
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: get people to buy into it and believe it. Global warming,
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: for example, hmm, Yeah, the UN Climate Commission sort of
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: backed off their projections that all left wing organizations have
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: been hanging their hat on. That whole thing is the
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 1: biggest scam ever perpetrated on the world. The idea that
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: you want to undermine economy, you want to undermine capitalism,
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: you want to reduce and eliminate consumption, you want to
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: institute mechanisms of absolute control over every aspect of our
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: day in and day out lives. That's what that was about.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: I think more and more people are waking up to it.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: But look at the constant messaging since al Gore's crazy
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: film came out, all of which has been disproven. The
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: drumbeat has been constant. The money has been flowing in
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: and of course going back to taxpayer dollars flowing out
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 1: into the world to fund well energy generation, zero carbon
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: energy generation that doesn't give us what we need, which
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: is energy, is extraordinarily costly and benefits a whole lot
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: of outside non governmental entities at the same time, a
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: whole economy built on a lie and a lie that
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: a lot of people still believe in. So say it
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: over and over again, people start buying into the next thing.
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 1: You know, you're stuck just a little perturbed and disturbed
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: by that reality. Folks seven forty six fifty five cares
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: De Talk Station Peace, feel free to give me a
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: call anytime they want to mention cross Country mortgage because
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: it is seven fifty one here fifty five KERR Cdcawk

  Speaker 1: hundred eight two three Talk Pound five fifty on eighteen
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: and T phones. Corey Bowman was on the show earlier,
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: former mayoral candidate, talking about well violence, downtown gang issues
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: and problems. Park's not necessarily a great place to be
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: because of the gang activity, and I thought that was
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 1: I was kind of sorry to hear that. I was
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: hoping to bring up good news this morning. Apparently we
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: made the top ten list nationally in terms of the
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: parks in the city of Cincinnati. Yeah, we got great parks,
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: but it's kind of defeats the purpose of having a
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 1: great park if you don't feel safe enough to go
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: into him. So let's check out what Corey had to
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: say on the program earlier. Congress Warren Davidson, of course,
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: and coming up at bottom of the next hour, Jay
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: Ratliffe tomorrow, of course, Tech Friday with Dave. How do
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: I hope you find that to be important appointment listening.
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 1: There's a h a service out there that tracks podcasts,
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: and Dave proudly pointed out that he is. His talk
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: with me, the Tech Friday segment is now up to
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: number nineteen of the top thirty or forty podcasts relating
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: to well things related to computers, hacking, programming, Internet of
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: things devices. He gives out great advice and so that's
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: why I'm really looking forward to having him on tomorrow,
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: as I do look forward to every single week. That's
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: six thirty every Friday, and you know, to show the
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: measure of control and how much we rely on the Internet.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: Iran is dealing with it right now, going back to
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: the problems with the Iranians are facing the longest and
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: most intense Internet blackout in the Internet's history. That's going
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: on in Iran right now. And ask yourself why the
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: Iranian authorities might want to prevent people from using the internet.
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 1: You know, it's all about controlling the message, right, You
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: got a much more problematic issue here if your lords
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: and masters and government want to control the message. We
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 1: saw that, didn't we We're during COVID nineteen when many
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: people out there were trying to suggest there's a different
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: explanation for COVID nineteen, like it leaked out of a lab. Yeah,
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: they would take that off. Your posts were removed, Our
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: government removed your posts. Working closely with social media, remember
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: that extra that escapade. I mean we had federal agents
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: in with offices and various social media buildings controlling the message.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: Huh you mean here in free speech United States of America,
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: we're not allowed to have a free exchange of ideas. Yeah,
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 1: you're damn well, that's what that means. They don't want
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: you to talk amongst each other. They don't want you
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: to let others know that there may be another answer
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: to whatever question is you're talking about that deviates from
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: the government's messaging. Oh, that's why they shut it down.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 1: But the ripple effect is really what it was ultimately
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: getting to. So you know what the motive is for
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: the ir audience. But by shutting off the Internet, they
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: used to have about ninety to one connectivity. In other words,
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: the vast majority of the country had access to and
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 1: connect with the Internet. You know what it is right now?
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 1: According to Hannah Mussabi, who reported on this the article
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: can be found in the World section of the Wall
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: Street Journal, one to two percent now have it, and
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: it's the connected people that actually have it. I don't
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: mean connected by the Internet connect I mean those who
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: are involved with and connected to the lords and masters
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: in the Iranian government. They say around ten million jobs
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 1: are estimated to be directly or indirectly tied to Iran's
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 1: digital economy with no electricity red flag or you have
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: a government that can just shut down the Internet. Yeah,
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: in a world where the Internet isn't run by private
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 1: business and industry that can lawfully do business e g.
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: The United States, the Iranians have dictatorial control over everything.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like Marxism. Yeah. One of the reasons
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: I hate Marxism because the government controls every element of society,
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: including what you can read and can't read. But it
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: ripple effects beyond this, and you don't have to use
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: much imagination to know what taking the Internet down does.
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: A couple of illustrations. You know, you can't access ordinary tasks,
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: telling family members where you are, Yeah, a war torn region.
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: You might want the opportunity to be able to do that. Sorry,
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: you can't point out obtaining medical records after a doctor visit. Sorry,
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 1: can't do it updating your car software. Yeah, those sound
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: like a bunch of first world problems, but you know,
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: the list becomes endless. What do you do that you
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: need the internet for? What do you do that you
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: need your smartphone for? And what do you need to
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: do or what do you need to do that you
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: require electricity for? Like everything? Hey, when you pivot over
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: to what the left's trying to do and so far
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: as electricity is concerned, you get kind of worried, at
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: least if you think about it. Rolling blackouts kind of
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: built in, seemingly intentionally, into this carbon free world we
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: were at least driving headlong into, and I hope the
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: brakes have been put on that nonsense, because who's in
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: control of whether the power's on or not?
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 4: Not you.
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: I'm certainly not talking about the light switch in your house.
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 1: The electricity has to make it there first, don't they hm,
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: Even in a country that at least purports and pays
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 1: lip service to the idea of protecting your freedoms and
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: liberties and you're free enterprise and the like. Somebody's got
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: a kill switch. Seven fifty six Right now, fifty five
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 1: KRCY Talks. We got time to talk between now and
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 1: the time we get the Jay Ratlift, which I'm really
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: looking forward to as I always do. That takes place
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: at a thirty iHeart Media Aviation Expert Jay Ratlift coming up.
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: I'll be right back after the news. We put the
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: app in happening. But that's what's happening. I heard Radio
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 1: eight o five, the fifty five KRCD talk station. Happy
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: Friday Eve always made extra special happy because at eight
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: thirty every week on the fifty five Karacy Morning Show,
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: we get the benefit and the joy of iHeart Media
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: Aviation Expert Jay Ratliff. Got some fun topics to go
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 1: over with Jay this morning. I'm gonna get his thoughts
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 1: and reactions. We should have had Rob Ryder on at
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 1: one point, Shoe the uh Well, the man who set
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: the high bar for air show announcers, Rob Rider. He
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 1: has since retired but the air show where those two
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: f was it F thirty five or whatever, they ran
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 1: into each other and they had to eject. Wow, what
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 1: a horror that was. Anyway, So we'll hear from Jay
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: at the bottom of this hour, and a shout out
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: to Corey, who is kind enough to let me know
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: he's streaming the audio on his iHeartMedia app in Las Vegas.
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: Good morning Corey in Las Vegas. I just think that's
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 1: really cool. You can get your iHeart media to do
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 1: the same thing wherever you happen to be. It's a
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: fifty five care see dot com. Along with the podcast,
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 1: Corey Bowman was on earlier former mayoral candidate on some
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 1: of the problems going on in the city of Cincinnati,
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 1: including gang activity, why people are leaving. Yeah, apparently the
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 1: city lost five hundred people in population last year, continuing
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 1: a trend. I suppose, plus, you got some terrible, terrible
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 1: well landlords, if you can call that, absentee landlords making
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 1: heaploads of money but forcing people to live an abject
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 1: squalor when it comes to affordable housing. Apparently, some real
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 1: problems in downtown Cincinnati. Congressman Davidson for a little more
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 1: than a half hour we got to he heard from
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: him on Iran taking funding away from the National Endowment
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 1: for Democracy, which is the springboard for my comments in
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 1: less segment money. It's one thing if some individual wants
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 1: to fund some kind of cause, that's great. But when
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: our own taxpayers are being used to undermine our democracy,
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 1: our freedoms and liberties, that is a horse of a
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 1: different color. And that's exactly what National Endowment for Democracy
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 1: does now. Pivoting over perfect timing column by Barton Swain,
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: and I'll let you read it the whull thing for yourself.
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 1: The panic industries new target. And here's where I think
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 1: we have another great illustration of money and influence repeated
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 1: over and over and over for some nefarious, unstated objective
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: Marxism usually, but trying to convince you that you're just
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: simply living and breathing is killing everyone. Of course, that's
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: the global warming argument. But it's pivoted over to artificial
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 1: intelligence now too. And Swain puts it all together really nicely.
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: Eric Schmid, who is the former Google CEO. He was
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: speaking last week at the University Arizona's graduates, rhapsodized about
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 1: the coming artificial intelligence revolution. And he points out some
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 1: of the crowd jeered, I know what many of you
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 1: are feeling about that. I can hear you, Schmid said.
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: Then he continued with his remarks, there is a fear
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: in your generation that the future has already been written,
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 1: that machine are coming, that the jobs are evaporating, that
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: the climate is breaking, that politics is fractured, and that
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 1: you are inheriting a mess that you did not create. Apparently,
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 1: then went on to urge graduates not to let fear
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 1: rob them of personal agency. Burnons William described that as
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: a fine sacarine message. Where does Schmidt think that young
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 1: people got the idea that the climate is breaking? Where
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 1: did the fear that he laments come from? In part
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 1: from the scores of climate panic groups to which the
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 1: Schmidt family foundations. It's a pro project called the eleventh
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 1: Hour Project. Schmidt Family Foundation's Eleventh Hour Project has granted
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of dollars of the last twenty years.
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 1: One detail particularly amuses when Eleventh Hour first appeared in
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 1: two thousand and six, it funded screenings of al Gore's
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: and Inconvenient Truth, Yeah, the one that was designed to
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 1: terrorize viewers with ninety minutes of bleak prophecies. The outfit,
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 1: like scores of others, founded and funded by other progres
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 1: of billionaires, Soros, spends its resources opposing fossil based energy
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 1: and trumpeting the dangers of a warming world. That's a
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 1: veiled effort to undermine capitalism. Quite frankly, I will interject
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 1: swam wrights. Mister Schmid exemplifies the propensity among a few
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: tech titans to pretend they never urged anybody to panic
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 1: about the upcoming climate apocalypse. Last year, Bill Gates posted
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 1: an essay on his website purporting to scold alarmists and
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 1: express his own modern view of the climate question, namely
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 1: that it is a very important problem, but doesn't doom civilization.
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 1: You have to wonder, then, why mister Gates has spent
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 1: so much of his own money to Arabella Advisors, which
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 1: is a path through entity that has now renamed Sunflower Services,
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 1: which funds a dizzying array of groups that exist for
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 1: the purpose of alarming the public over an eminent climate
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 1: apocalypse and to portray carbon emitting energy as an existential
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 1: threat to humanity. Mister Schmidt and Gates may think they
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 1: can lay that fear and despair that they have helped
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: to inspire by issuing a few oracles on the unwisdom
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 1: of catastrophism, But nobody staffing the multi billion dollar ganglion
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 1: of climate nonprofits and activists crews plans on taking a
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 1: more measured view of the coming cataclysm. The prospect of
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 1: annihilation keeps the money flowing. Having taught a generation of
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 1: liberal minded Americans live in fear of global ruins, Silicon
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 1: Valley's big shots now feel exasperation that those same Americans
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 1: think AI menaces their families and livelihood. Hence the panic
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: over data centers. Now, let's pivot. Shall we pivot over
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 1: to the next big boogeyman in the room? Oh my god,
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 1: we're all gonna die. AI is going to use up
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: all of our water, take away all of our electricity,
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 1: and ruin our jobs. And that pointed out regularly. Some
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 1: of that may very well happen, but you know what
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 1: it's coming, and we better be ahead of it and
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 1: in front of it, or the rest of the world,
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 1: like the Chinese Communist Party, is going to dominate leaving
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 1: us alone. Might that benefit them and their global efforts anyway.
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: Gallop poll published last week concludes that seven in ten
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 1: Americans oppose the construction of data centers in their area,
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 1: actually gallop as if respondents would support or oppose quote
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 1: the construction of a data center in your area to
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 1: support artificial intelligence close quote close quote. Leave out AI,
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 1: and the results would likely run in the opposite direction.
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 1: That's how it's phrased. Explain further that data centers enable
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 1: cloud computing. Somewhere inside one is that season of the
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 1: pit you just watched in attitudes may further soften. In
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 1: other words, you are going to get some benefits from AI.
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 1: So let's talk about those. Shall we not talk about
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 1: all the alarmism and doom and gloomism you'd think, for
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 1: some of the shoddier press coverage that data centers and
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 1: AI arrived in tandem yesterday. In fact, modern data centers
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 1: first appear in the nineteen nineties, when companies learned that
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 1: the benefits of fast internet connectivity and information storage. Today
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 1: they support the apps on your phone and provide backup
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 1: power to hospitals and banks during outages. See there is
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 1: some good in there. The rise of AI technology, which
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 1: requires far more energy than ordinary computing, has occasioned data
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 1: center's dramatic numerical growth. The center's association with artificial intelligence
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 1: has in turn generated suspicion of them among ordinary Americans, who,
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 1: for entirely valid reasons, disliked the idea of college kids
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 1: using chatbots to write papers. Good point, and terrorists using
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 1: them to build dirty palms bombs another good point. Most
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 1: people feel that at least feel at least some apprehension
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 1: about smartphone addiction and social media use among the young.
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 1: But that looks at the problems that it presents, But
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 1: it also recognizes what the internet brings us, and these
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 1: smartphone devices bring us a lot of technology that we
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 1: like to use every day. But the people showing up
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 1: at county council meetings to protest the construction of a
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 1: data center didn't, for the most part, come by their
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 1: convictions the old fashion way, by reading and thought. These activists,
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 1: many of them attached to five OHO one C three organizations,
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 1: got their talking points from national nonprofits supported by some
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 1: of the same money outfits that Schmidt and Gates foundations
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 1: spent the last two decades bankrolling. You are being manipulated.
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 1: Call it the busybody economy. Organizations designed to worry about
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 1: future calamities can be counted on to find new calamities
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 1: to worry about. Data centers serve that purpose nicely. Like
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 1: all large scale building projects, they rouffle local feathers, and
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 1: their purpose, unlike an airport or a shopping center, requires
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 1: an explanation and so lends itself to conspiratorial Facebook posting,
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 1: funded probably by a five oh one c three. The
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 1: several big name progressive nonprofits now call for a moratorium
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 1: on data center construction. Bernie Sanders Group, Our Revolution, Green
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 1: Peace USA, Friends of the Earth, among others. Does not
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 1: surprise tech billionaires Lauren Powell, Jobs, Jeff Bezos, Stevian, Connie
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 1: Balmer come to mind never guess that the network of
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 1: climate groups on which they lavish their millions would eventually
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 1: turn on their industry, a truth too inconvenient to foresee.
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 1: You know what, when there's money floating out in the
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 1: world and there are activists, leftists whose ultimate goal is
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 1: global control Marxism, you'll get what they hand you, and
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 1: you'll get nothing more and you'll like it. You see
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 1: in a faris ell them coming through. In all of this,
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 1: we need to take stock in ourselves. We need to
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 1: think about things more logically and reasonably. We need to
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 1: quit just buying into and absorbing the message. Oh that
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 1: is repeated over and over again until you capitulate and
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 1: find a buy into it. It's a meme world we
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 1: live in, and you can buy a lot of memes
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 1: perpetuating garbage with very little money. Imagine how many you
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 1: can buy with billions of dollars being thrown at it.
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 1: Seven fifty five hundred. Oh, several callers online looking were
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 1: talking to each and every one of you. First, I
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 1: would strongly encourage you to take your car to foreign exchange.
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 1: I just saw there was an article about the up
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 1: eight nineteen the fifty five krc DE talk station, Jay
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 1: Ratliff up next, I heard me the aviation Next where
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 1: Jay Ratliffe tomorrow on the fifty five Carssey Morning Show.
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 1: I mentioned tech Friday before I mentioned Jack Windsor before
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 1: Ohio Press Network. We get him in the eight o'clock hour,
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 1: joining the program tomorrow. Hold on, Jay, I'm getting you next.
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 1: Hear who's Meridian James? Pause for that one. Luke Roseiack
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 1: will join the program tomorrow. If you're not familiar. He
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 1: is the reporter behind the Daily Wire Bombshell report on
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 1: Medicaid FRAUDA at Ohio. Uh huh luke tomorrow on the
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 1: fifty five CARC Morning Show on the phone right now, Jay,
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 1: welcome back to the morning show. Good to hear from
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 1: me today.
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 8: Hey, good morning, Brian.
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 4: Hey.
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 8: I'm going to change topics to kind of build on
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 8: what you were talking about with how isn't an amazing
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 8: these billionaires in a federal government can drive change through
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 8: fear And it's a very old tired idea from communism,
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 8: whether you're part of a labor union where management it's
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 8: the boogeyman and only the union bosses can protect you
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 8: against them.
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 6: Or to go back to.
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 8: Nineteen thirties with the FDR on the Tennessee Valley Authority,
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 8: where they convinced the country they actually showed flooding that
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 8: was happening over in some other part of the world
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 8: on movie theaters. I said, this is why the federal
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 8: government needs to step in and build these dams.
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 8: But today Tennessee, the Tennessee Valley Authority is the sixth
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 8: largest provider of electricity and it is a private slash
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 8: public organization run by the federal government. And everywhere they
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 8: put up a dam, they put their flag in it
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 8: it says US Army Corps of Engineers, and I drive
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 8: a lot across this country for work. The most beautiful
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 8: spots in this country are national parks controlled by the
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 8: FED with a dam that's controlled by the US Army Corps.
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 8: And they claimed that for the federal government. How we
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 8: have the federal government is the sixth largest producer of
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 8: electricity and it spans many states. It doesn't just Tennessee.
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 8: The TVA goes all throughout the South. And so again
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 8: it went back in its day, it was the trust US.
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 8: Here's what you need to fear, and we have the solution.
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 8: And so we need to wake up as a country.
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 8: And every time government says here's what you need to
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 8: be afraid of, and we.
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 6: Have the solution, be very afraid of the government.
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 1: Well, we need to be afraid of exactly. And to
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 1: your comment of an FDR being able to show, you know,
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 1: video of flooding elsewhere in the world and sort of
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 1: suggest that it's happening here domestically, who in the United
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 1: States could have ever even tested that narrative. We didn't
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 1: have the Internet, we didn't know where, We've never been
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 1: to the state where that allegedly happened. You know, you
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: just had to rely on what some government official who
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 1: within whom you placed a lot of trust, to tell
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 1: you what was going on in the world. You only
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 1: had a couple of television stations. Of course, that was
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 1: in a time where it was only radio. Guess who
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 1: was on the radio every day doing this fireside chat.
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 1: You got the message from everybody's best friend FDR, and
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 1: you believed everything you said, and you can see the
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 1: result of that. But you see, that's the problem for
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 1: the Internet. Finally, the rest of the world can see
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 1: what the other rest of the world is doing real
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 1: time information Reported twenty four to seven. You can see
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 1: pictures and video. You got Google Maps, you can land
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 1: on the street and some foreign land and see what
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 1: they live like there. That is a problem for those
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 1: that want to control the narrative, which is why I
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 1: go back to every the Shenanigans, if I can put
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 1: it that lightly, that the government engaged in to change
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 1: the message, to solidify their version of what was going
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 1: on in for example, COVID nineteen taking away and removing
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 1: our free speech posts on social media. Internet's a problem
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 1: for those Marxists and globalists out there who want to
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 1: control the narrative.
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 8: Agreed, and to build on that real quick. You know,
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 8: with medicaid, I like Ramaswami's idea to change the incentives.
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 8: But if the states are better at finding frauds in
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 8: the federal government, the same rule applies. Push medicaid down
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 8: to the states, Let the state control it and get
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 8: federal government out of it.
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 6: If we're going to have a medicaid system.
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 1: Have a good day, Brian, You two, Jay, and I'm
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 1: sure you're going to enjoy hearing for Luke Rosiock on
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 1: the program tomorrow from the Daily Wire one of your
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 1: favorite topics, Medicaid fraud. Meridian James. Might this be Mississippi
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 1: James's twin brother, Welcome to the show.
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 9: Yes, sir, it is I and temporarily changed my name
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 9: for about a month because Meridian is the city I'm from.
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 9: So we're holding off Meridian Knights Convention here in Cincinnati
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 9: this year, and it just may be a straggler listener
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 9: to on your dial that hear me talk about this
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 9: next month in June, the Meridian Night Convention will be
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 9: This the fifty six Meridian Night Convention that will be
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 9: held in Cincinnati, so anybody from Meridian surrounding the area
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 9: in Mississippi, Hey, come join up with us.
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 1: Where are you gonna be a big thing.
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 9: We're gonna be in Rookwood the Marriott Hotel there and
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 9: then we're gonna use whose Mine.
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 2: Area Park at Saturday for the picnic. So we have
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 2: a hospitality and a ball at that Mary Yacht right
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 2: there in rook Wood, Hide Park, nor Wood, all the combined.
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 1: Are there quite a few people from Meridian in the area, James, Yes,
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 1: it is no good.
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 5: It is.
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 1: Well, you see, that's one area of the country some
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 1: people may not be familiar with. And I know you
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 1: were proud of your town Meridian, and I hope you
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 1: have a wonderful celebration. Everybody has a great time, James,
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 1: and I appreciate you chiming in Meridian. James, at least
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 1: for a little while.
• 1:56:31

• 1:56:41
  Speaker 1: no pressure. Thanks for chiming in today, don't go away.
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 1: Thank God for him, Jay ratl if I heard he's
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 1: de talk station. Ay thirty here I fifty have care
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 1: see the talk station. Thank God for Thursdays. Friday Eve
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 1: is what I like to call because I love Fridays,
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 1: but I also love Thursdays because on the fifty five
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 1: Kcy morning should get the benefit of iHeart media aviation
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 1: expert Jay Ratliffe, Jay, my friend, always pleasure to heavy
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 1: on my show.
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 4: Hey, pleasure, Good morning to you, sir.
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to get your reaction. I need that
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 1: you thought a Rob Ryder and how he would have
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 1: reacted at the air show where those two jets ran
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 1: into each other in an amazing escape. I guess the
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 1: four pilots were able to safely eject, but wow, the
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 1: horror of that, Jay, how many millions of dollars were
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 1: blown up in that little escapade.
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 10: It's a hopefully they can they can learn what happened there.
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 10: But you know, Rob is mister air show.
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 1: Oh he said that the r.
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 10: Yeah, that's an understatement when you talk about what he's
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 10: done in aviation. I always kidded him about how he
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 10: had the greatest job because he could go week to
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 10: week just to enjoining those shows. But Rob like, yeah,
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 10: Rob has seen those types of crashes where things don't
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 10: end well. I mean we were at the Daton Air
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 10: Show when they had a fatality there, and in fact
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 10: we've had on two different occasions. So a lot of times.
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 10: The greatness of an air show is it really excites
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 10: the youth of today about the wonders and the opportunities
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 10: involved in aviation. If it's flying those wonderful things, working
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 10: on them, taking pictures of them, I mean, all kinds
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 10: of different applications to aviation that you can.
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 4: Be a part of.
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 10: And it's just sad when those air shows, those demonstrations
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 10: turn into something where something does go wrong and you
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 10: see that it's a it's a it can be a
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 10: tough situation. But thankfully, all we got out of this
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 10: was some you know, incredible video and nobody got seriously
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 10: injured in it, and that's that's the beauty of it,
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 10: and we're just very thankful that that was the end
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 10: result of something that the aircraft themselves, yeah, they can
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 10: be replaced. It's the pilots that you're worried about. And
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 10: thankfully those those pilots were.
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, pilots you have to worry about. But you know,
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 1: I kind of thought about myself, you know, being in
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 1: the crowd. I don't know how you can control and
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 1: exploding aircraft. I don't know how far away that aircraft
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 1: was from the crowd. But I've been to the hill
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 1: climbs in OREGONI with the motorcycles going up this year,
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 1: straight up side of them, and I've seen them go
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 1: out of control and run right into the crowd of
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 1: people who are stupidly standing really close to the thing
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 1: going by. Is there any any chance that the crowd
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 1: could have been hit by an airplane?
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 10: Well, most of the time the performance is done not
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 10: directly overhead, right, it's going to be we're from a distance.
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 10: So there's a great number of safeguards that are built
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 10: in with regards to the distance between the participants.
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 4: And the people that are the spectators.
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 10: And we do that for all the obvious reasons from safety,
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 10: because you just never know these things. Regardless of how
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 10: great the pilots are, those men and women, you're still
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 10: dealing with mechanical type you know, things that do malfunction
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 10: from time to time. I mean, and when that happens,
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 10: you have to work the problem and you know, hopefully
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 10: can still control the aircraft. But we've seen time and
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 10: time again where sometimes things are just pushed a certain way,
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 10: or something happens from a mechanical situation that puts the
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 10: pilot at risk, and you know, a lot of times
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 10: it's a matter of just trying to maintain control of
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 10: the aircraft and you know, getting it under control before
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 10: something happens where it ends up crashing. But yeah, you know,
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 10: air shows are great because it's one of the few
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 10: places you can go and watch the kids and they
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 10: don't have their heads down, they have their heads up
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 10: because they're watching what's going on instead of having their
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 10: face buried inside of an electronic device that in the
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 10: zoo is a great place to watch kids that just
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 10: have this face of wonder and you just love to
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 10: see it. And yeah, air shows are incredible and for
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 10: everybody who's never been to one, I certainly encourage it.
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 10: It's a great, great demonstration of you know, the old
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 10: aviation of old and certainly the aviation of the day.
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 1: No question about it. And this gives you a sense
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 1: of appreciation for the awesome power most notably of those
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 1: fighter jets just wow.
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah.
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 1: And the young people that are behind the stick and
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 1: those things. You imagine being twenty four, twenty five years
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 1: old and being in charge of all the multi multi
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 1: million dollar aircraft and.
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 4: Just another day at the office. I'm a friend those
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 4: men and women are.
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 10: And that's why when those those individuals translate into commercial
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 10: pilots and people say, you know, I'm worried to jay
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 10: about my flight, I'm thinking, if you've got one of
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 10: the military, highly trained military individuals on.
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 4: The flight deck, you have nothing to worry about.
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 10: I've been on the radio with them when an engine
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 10: shuts down, or you've got fuel contamination, you've got other
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 10: emergency situations, and to hear them on the radio, it's
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 10: just like another day work, another deal. Just you know,
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 10: we're coming back, we lost an engine, blah blah blah.
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 10: That type of thing. Just kind of an fyi. But
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 10: it just shows you just how great that that training is.
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 10: And believe me, those are the men and women that
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 10: I want on the flight deck. And all those discussions
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 10: we've had about automated flight decks with no pilots, no no, no, no,
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 10: no no.
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 4: We want those highly trained people up.
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 1: There more topics with Jay Rayleiff after the break here,
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 1: including layoffs at South and don't be that guy who
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 1: bites a flight attenant, don't go away, be right back
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 1: fifty five KRC dot.
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 4: Com Steve Perrins coordinated.
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 1: Sty five KRC, the talk station call Kenny Loggins because
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 1: you're in the danger Zone nine fifty five KARS and
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 1: talk stations. Joe and I were talking to the break there.
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 1: How what an awful, awful worst job on the planet.
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 1: Back when top Gun ride over at King's Island you
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 1: had to listen to Danger Zone on a loop. If
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 1: I was stuck in that job, I think I would
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 1: have gone completely psycho anyway. Pivoting over Jay Ratliffe, Southwest Airlines.
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 1: The revenues up and yet they're laying off employees. Why
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 1: is this the case?
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 10: Jay, Well, you know Southwest, you and I have talked
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 10: about it many times before. They for fifty years never
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 10: laid a single employee off. The attacks nine to eleven,
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 10: the financial crisis in two thousand and eight, the pandemic.
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 10: None of those times they laid anyone off. And that
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 10: was kind of their their you know, rallying cry. Of course,
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 10: late last year they laid off fifteen percent of their
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 10: corporate workforce as they were kind of trimming not the fat,
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 10: but just trying to cut back as they could. And
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 10: now they're laying off seventy five people on the operation
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 10: side of things, and that would continue even though the
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 10: revenue for the last quarter was reported, I think it's
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 10: seven point two billion dollars, so the revenue was.
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 4: Going up a bit.
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 10: They're obviously the profits are being impacted by the sharp
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 10: rise and fuel costs, and obviously Southwest wants to recall
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 10: these individuals as they can. But the bottom line is
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 10: if there's areas that you have as you're adjusting the
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 10: flight schedules, as many carriers are, when you've got an
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 10: access in the head count, you're going to make adjustments.
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 10: Either have those individuals transfer to locations around the country
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 10: where the help is needed, or in kind of roll.
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 4: Out the layoffs.
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 10: And sadly, that's what's happening at the Southwest, which makes
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 10: them just like every other airline because we see that
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 10: happening quite a bit. When we see schedule adjustments and
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 10: airport's cut back, you find out you don't need as
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 10: many people working at that airport as others and you've
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 10: got to find a place warmer.
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 1: Let them go am into that. And before we get
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 1: to the don't be that guy story, I heard from
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 1: my submariner friend who's Cribbage Mike aka Submarine or Mike.
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 1: He wanted to thank you for your continued support of
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 1: Honor Flight tri State. Mike is actively involved in Honor Flight.
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 1: He said, thank you for your service and help with
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 1: Honor Flight, but also he wanted to point out something
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 1: to further your point. In the last segment, the chartered
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 1: flight American flight was top notazi says, piloted by retired
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 1: Air Force pilots on both ends.
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 10: Oh yeah, they and they are thrilled to be taking
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 10: those heroes to Washington, d C. And it's a great,
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 10: great thing. They get the water cannon salute and Sherry
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 10: and I've been on on a flight two different times.
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 10: We escorted two World War Two vets and we later
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 10: took both of our dads, which was one of the
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 10: the greatest days I've ever spent with my dad.
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 1: I imagine. And not one of those veterans or the
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 1: guardians that were with him thought it appropriate to bite
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 1: a flight attendant J Ratliff now those.
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 10: Guys would go after oh peop, Yeah, we're biting flight attendants.
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 1: Believe you, the disabled, wheelchair bound Vietnam veterans would have
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 1: done everything they could. Oh anyhow, what's the story, what's
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 1: the backstory on this one, Jake?
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 10: I think it was thirteen hour flight Dallas, I believe
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 10: Melbourne Quantas Airlines. You've got a man that was apparently
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 10: drinking during most of that flight, and he got into
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 10: a laboratory and he was so ineborated he was having
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 10: a hard time figuring out how the handle worked to
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 10: get out. So he finally stumbles out of the laboratory
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 10: just cussing up a storm, and flight attendants approached you,
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 10: you know, just out of courtesy if you can keep
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 10: your voice down, you know, just the normal stuff. And
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 10: the guy gets aggressive and then he bites one of
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 10: the flight attendants and that's when the captain says, uh
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 10: land in this point, and we're kicking this guy off
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 10: and he'll never fly Kauantas again. But the unscheduled stop
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 10: was in Tahiti. Now, I'm sorry. If you're gonna boot
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 10: somebody off of a flight, can you pick a place
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 10: that's not quite as.
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 4: Beautiful as Tahiti to do it.
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 10: I don't know if the consequences that we want are there,
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 10: but you know, he I do think that, you know,
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 10: even though the passengers were delayed a couple of hours
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 10: because of the stop and the refueling, Quantas is probably
• 2:06:27
  Speaker 10: gonna send the guy bill saying you, by the way,
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 10: yos twenty four thirty forty thousand bucks whatever it is
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 10: for this unscheduled stop. And yeah, that could very well
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 10: be the case. It maybe just not a matter of
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 10: possible criminal charges, which you probably won't have.
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 4: Most of the time.
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 10: They don't pursue him. They just stop, get the problem
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 10: off the plane. But yeah, that's a big issue when
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 10: you're talking about the costs associated with a delayed flight
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 10: like that, and we've talked about it. Airlines have many
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 10: many times in the bill of the passenger saying your fault.
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 4: You pay.
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, as well, it should be a cautioning of town,
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 1: a warning everybody else who might be like that guy.
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 1: Don't be that guy. Southwest back in the news again
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 1: here this morning, banning. Are they getting ahead of a problem.
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine. I've never seen a robot on a flight,
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 1: but apparently they've banned them from I guess sitting in
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 1: the airplane.
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 10: Yeah, they had one. It was a humanoid robot. I
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 10: think it was four feet tall or something that they flew,
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 10: I want to say. And my city's maybe off Nashville
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 10: to Vegas. They took this robot out there, this humanoid thing,
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 10: for a demonstration and everything, and it went well, and
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 10: they're coming back on Southwest and at the gate area,
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 10: the agents are a little bit confused because they're thinking
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 10: what powers this thing, and of course it's lithium batteries
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 10: and you've got your issues with that. That flight, as
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 10: the agents were trying to determine what they were going
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 10: to do, was delayed about an hour. So what happened
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 10: was Southwest has come out saying, look, we're going to
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 10: make it clear here the humanoid robots, the dogs, the cats,
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 10: all these things that people have that are powered by
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 10: these lithium batteries, we're going to ban from our flight,
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 10: just simply because the batteries are quite a bit bigger
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 10: than what some of the other handheld devices obviously are,
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 10: and that that's something that that they did. Now, normally
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 10: this would come down from the Federal Aviation Ministration, who
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 10: would make a policy that would you know, as an
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 10: umbrella kind of cover all the different carriers for operating
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 10: here in the United States. Uh, the FAA has really
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 10: not step forward to do anything with regards to consistent
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 10: policy on the battery chargers or uh elysium type devices,
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 10: so it's kind of left up to the airlines to
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 10: do what they need to do. In Southwest is taking
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 10: this step saying, look, leave your leave your human android
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 10: at home, because you're not gonna be not gonna be
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 10: allowed on a flight. But when you google the images,
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 10: it's a pretty cool looking thing. And when this robot
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 10: was in the gate area, it was playing with the kids,
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 10: doing high fives and different types of things, and you know,
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 10: people are taking pictures all over it. So it was
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 10: quite you know, quite the the star of the show.
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 10: But yeah, the agents in Vegas, when they started thinking
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 10: about it, had issues with that lithium battery. And you know,
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 10: Southwest is just trying to take steps to make sure
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 10: that they can avoid any future delays because yeah, look,
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 10: delays costs money, and right now you need every revenue
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 10: dollar you can get with what they're paying for fuel.
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, indeed, and you know, I just think of the idea.
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 1: They have those fireproof bags you can drop a cell
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 1: phone in or a laptop, and how are you going
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 1: to do that with a human sized robot? In other words,
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 1: you can't. We'll bring Jay Radlin talk about gee first
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 1: world problems, oh no, no Wi Fi on my fly,
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 1: plus Bouston offering an off site TSA screening center, plus
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 1: luxury watches made from old aircraft. We'll see if we
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 1: can't get all those topics in coming up next more
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 1: with Jay Ratliffe fifty five KRC the eight fifty if
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 1: afty five KRCD talk station. Happy Thursday Friday E. Jay
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 1: Ratliff's on the phone. This is the final segment with
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 1: Jay this week. We'll do it again next Thursday, as
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 1: we always do. And let's boo, who boo, who, oh
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 1: my god, I don't have internet for thirteen hours. Try
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 1: and move into a roun where they've showed the internet
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 1: off for the last three months and nobody's everbody's out
• 2:10:02
  Speaker 1: of work there because they can't engage in commerce. First
• 2:10:06
  Speaker 1: world problems. Jay ratleis, well, it.
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 10: Was it was a United flight, I think Tokyo to DC.
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 10: It was a very long flight where the Wi Fi
• 2:10:17
  Speaker 10: wasn't available, and yes, people lost their minds, but you
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 10: also couldn't you couldn't power your device. There was a
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 10: lot of you know issues there, none that was serious
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 10: enough to cancel the flight. So yes, people had to endure,
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 10: oh my gosh, not having access to their electronics for
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 10: as long as they would like. The onboard entertainment system
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 10: as well wasn't operating for United, and many people thought
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 10: that the flight should be canceled. Well, yeah, it's okay.
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 10: I mean the number one reason you're there is for
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 10: transportation to get safely from point A to point B.
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 10: I thought, we have a minimum equipment list, which means
• 2:10:54
  Speaker 10: if there's certain components of an aircraft that aren't operating
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 10: as they should, the flights can't. I'm sorry. The entertainment
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 10: system is not a part of the mel so as
• 2:11:04
  Speaker 10: a result, they're going to operate the aircraft and they're
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 10: gonna apologize now. I did feel for the business men
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 10: and women that maybe on that you know, thirteen fourteen
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 10: or a flight whatever it was, that they might have
• 2:11:16
  Speaker 10: been wanting to spend five or six hours of work
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 10: time to get things done. And you know, if you
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 10: lose power on your device, you can't you know, charge
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 10: it up, back up. Yeah, that's gonna be a problem.
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 10: So certainly there were some real time issues for people
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 10: that were working, but most of the outrage came from
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 10: people who, yeah, had absolutely no clue what to do
• 2:11:37
  Speaker 10: absence of electronic device. You know, hopefully you've got a
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 10: book or something that's what you can Yeah, oh yeah, yeah,
• 2:11:42
  Speaker 10: the old the old school type thing had turn pages, uh,
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 10: because you can only sleep and rest so long on
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 10: a flight that long.
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 4: But yeah, it was.
• 2:11:50
  Speaker 10: It was definitely people losing their minds because it's the
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 10: same thing you and I see when the power goes
• 2:11:55

  Speaker 4: There's zombie.
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 10: They literally are walking around in a daze, totally unprepared
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 10: for what they should be doing.
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 4: They have no clue.
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 1: Have a backup copy of Field or dust I ASK's
• 2:12:09
  Speaker 1: brothers caramats off with you at all times. You will
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 1: be thoroughly entertained for as long as your flight happens
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 1: to be pivoting over.
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 10: Grab the I'm reading the Memoirs of a Revolutionary Soldier

  Speaker 10: right now, short little book, really cool read, and yeah, yeah,
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 10: to throw that in your bag, take up much room
• 2:12:25
  Speaker 10: and you can pull it out and read it when.
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 1: You can that they're always alternatives. I got to ask
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 1: you about this luxury watch thing. We'll get to the
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 1: Boston offsite tsay if we can. But old aircraft turned
• 2:12:35
  Speaker 1: into luxury watches. Who asked for this?
• 2:12:37
  Speaker 4: This was easy Out Airlines. They had.
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 10: Airbus A three twenty of the double decker, the one
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 10: that can seed eight hundred and eighty people. It's their
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 10: first one they had. It's been taken out of service.
• 2:12:49
  Speaker 10: They're using it for parts and different things. And somebody said, hey,
• 2:12:52
  Speaker 10: let's make some high quality luxury watches from this, and
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 10: they've decided to do that. Now I've got an American
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 10: Express car that is made from a seven forty seven,
• 2:13:02
  Speaker 10: which I think is pretty cool. That's just a credit card.
• 2:13:05
  Speaker 10: This is a watch that costs somewhere between three and
• 2:13:07
  Speaker 10: four thousand dollars that they are crafting. So it's a
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 10: big time not something that's going to easily go on
• 2:13:15
  Speaker 10: a Christmas list, But there's a lot of people that are,
• 2:13:18
  Speaker 10: you know, aviation nuts, and to have something that's a
• 2:13:21
  Speaker 10: little bit different. It's like sometimes I saw some of
• 2:13:24
  Speaker 10: these old Omega watches before that are thirty some thousand
• 2:13:27
  Speaker 10: dollars a piece because they have moon dust in the dial.
• 2:13:30
  Speaker 10: So I guess it just depends on what you want.
• 2:13:33
  Speaker 10: The market's out there if you're willing to pay for it.
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 1: They just cost something limited edition and people will buy
