  Speaker 1: the roof. Happy Wednesday. Brian Thomas right here, glad to
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: be and looking forward to Jack added in return to
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the program Every Wednesday at seven oh five what we
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: call the Big Picture Brilliance Every Wednesday at seven oh five. Today,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: the topic are Valentine, Martha Washington, always weaving history in
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: with modern topics. Jack other Than coming up at seven
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: oh five, followed by Adam Miller from Concerned Veterans for America.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: He's going to be subbing in for Donovan and Ill
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: for Americas for Prosperity, who we hear from every Wednesday
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: at seven thirty. Today, we'll talk about the VA Access Act.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: With that to Miller seven thirty for that. Fast forward
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to eight o'clock Great Hour Radio. At eight o'clock, Congressman
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Thomas Massey and Judge Editor Politano Congress of Massey on
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: his microphone being taken to Republican dinner. You've exceeded your time, Epstein, files. Yeah,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: a lot coming out on that plush. Maybe Donald Trump
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: that pulled a fast one on the Democrats by resisting
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the release of the Epstein files, only to find out
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: upon release that he, in fact was one of the
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: first people to turn in or talk about Epstein being
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: a perv to the police officers. Anyway, Plus apparently Trump
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: called Congressom Massia moron maybe in connection with his vote
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: about repealing Trump's tariffs. We'll hear from Congressome Massey Dato five.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Then Judge editor Poltano the column which I get an
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: advanced copy of the coming constitutional ice age. Again going
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: back to the whole concept which is going to end
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: up in a government shutdown, the idea of administrative warrens
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: versus judicial warrens in connection with picking up illegal immigrants
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: roaming around on our streets. That is what's coming up
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: on the fifty five CASEE Morning Show. Love hearing from you.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Maybe something you'd like to talk about. Please feel free
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: to call five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty five,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: eight hundred and eighty two to three talk TOOUN five
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: fifty on AT and t FOS and of course fifty
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: five Casee dot com. Get to your podcast talk with
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: immigration expert Neil Monroe yesterday with Bright Barb. We got
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the Daniel Davis Deep Dive Tom Zawistowski from me the
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: People Convention, all right there fifty five karsee dot com.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I heard media out there for you as well. Stream
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the audio wherever you happen to be and enjoy it. Yeah.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Duke Energy was talking with I guess uh the Inquire
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the other day describing people's reaction like me with their
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Duke Energy bill sticker shock, Duke Energy's a hiring Kentucky
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: President Amy Speller speaking with their uh That's so Cincinnati podcast,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: talking about, Hey, Duke's not making more money. We're not
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: cashing in on this. We only supply gas and electricity
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: priced at cost in Ohio. But she did say part
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: of Ohio's difficulty this is so ridiculous a power supply
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: shortage caused by the retirement of facilities since twenty ten
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: in Ohio and other states, during which there's been a
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: surgeon demand. Yeah, okay, duh talk about utility delivery service.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: She said the well that money pays for upgrades and infrastructure,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: as well as routine and emergency maintenance like outages during
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: bad weather. But She's quick to point out, in spite
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: of the fact your bill's gone through the roof, we
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: didn't have any outages, in spite of the shortage of power.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Flipping over, Donald Trump is rolling back the climate finding
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: that has been a thorn in everybody's site in so
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: far as our electricity bill is concerned. Perhaps the end
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: of the religion of climate science is over. Obama era
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: scientific finding that serves as the legal basis for the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: federal greenhouse gas regulation is going to go the way
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: of the DODO. Hmmm, it's the two thousand and nine
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: endangerment finding that'll be reversed that concluded back in two
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: thousand and nine that there are six greenhouse gases which
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: are going to kill they pose a public health and
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: welfare threat. That particular finding was the legal basis for
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the EPA Climate rules, climate rules that limited emissions from
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: power plants and as well as titan fuel economy standards
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: from vehicles under the Clean Air Act. Your cafe standards,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: you must get nine thousand miles to the gallon. Well,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: we can't do that. It's an internal combustion end and
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: sorry sucks to be you by an electric car. The
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: final rule is supposed to be rolled out, removes the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: regulatory requirements. This is going to be an amazing cost
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: savings for literally everybody, you and me. You talk about
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: inflation reduction, Here you go requirements require them to measure, report, certify,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: and comply with federal greenhouse gas emission standards. I would
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: interject arbitrary and random they are for motor vehicles. Also
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: repeals associated compliance programs, credit provisions, reporting obligations. There you go,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: compliance obligations, regulatory obligations. Heaps down massive costs on all industries,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: and of course, the CAFE standards result in US having
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: to buy a far more expensive car or an EV. Now,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: they do point out that this rollback will not apply
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: to oil and gas facilities, meaning that if you've got
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: a coal plant, I guess is still going to apply
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: to that. But they are suggesting the willingness by the
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Trump administration to roll back the standards for automobiles and
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: other associated products may result in perhaps rolling back some
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: regulations on oil and gas facilities. Keep your fingers crossed.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Trump's been just crowing about fossil fuels being vital to
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: our economic and national security. Expanding reliance on them will
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: help lower energy prices that it's true. Now, it's kind
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: of interesting they say the repealing of the federal findings
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: in this rollback might cause some complications with companies that
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: have a multinational presence. Lower environmental standards here but higher
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: across the pond or wherever these higher standards might exist.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know how those standards are applied to companies.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Do they measure the carbon dioxide exhalation of a company
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and its entire global operations so that they only footprint
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: that in the countries that have these obligations, question Mark.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Maybe that'll be an incentive for those companies to repatriate
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: their businesses, bring them back here so you're not subject
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: to those international standards. We'll see. But the suggestion was
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: that the removal of the federal level standards might result
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: in states implementing their own regulations. Hmmm, huh, question Mark.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Let's say Texas doesn't have its own regulations, California does.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Where would you rather be if you're going to situate
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: your business. Just just thinking we've got competition going on
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: out here in the world and the other component of this,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: I thought it was an interesting observation from a legal perspective. Now,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: environmental groups are going to challenge this. They're going to
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: sue and say you can't roll this back at settled
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: science whatever. They'll make their arguments in court and it'll
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: be litigation. It'll be years before that's ultimate resolved. But
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the point that was made, I thought this was rather cool.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: The administration could decline to enforce the rules and fines
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: during this whole legal process. Ah, there's that prosecutorial discretion element. Yes,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: there are thousands of laws on the book and the
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: federal government prioritizes them. For example, they're not out prosecuting
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: federal prohibition on marijuana. Why, well, because it isn't a
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: priority for the federal government. Is marijuana still Schedule one
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: under federal law? And could the feds go after you
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: for possessing it? Yes, they could, but no they're not.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: They don't have to ford, they don't have to pursue
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: that particular criminal prosecution. So how about the same when
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: it goes to environmental standard Let's just not enforce them.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Let's just project that we are not going to be
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: coming out in demanding compliance, and YadA, YadA, YadA. So
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: there's that possibility there. Official said, the rollback will equate.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Are you ready? Here's the savings equate to more than
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: one trillion dollars in regulation cuts. That's the cost of regulation.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: And for every dollar going into compliance costs, that's another
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: dollar of that's not going into the economy or maybe
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: in our pockets. They said they were rescinding the finding
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: would result in the average per vehicle cost a savings
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: of more than twenty four hundred dollars. Oh, look, coming
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: to the rescue in terms of dealing with inflation. That'll help.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Trump said he was going to announce a new executive
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: order directing Defense Department to buy coal fired power plant power.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: That's one thing, but he's also apparently going to be
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: funding five coal plants in West Virginia, Ohio, North Carolina,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: and yes, the Commonwealth of Kentucky. They'll be recommissioning and
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: upgrading the facilities new coal plants back online or old
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: coal plants put back online. And apparently if they are upgraded,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: they will be complying with the federal Clean Air standards,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: which will still apply to oil and gas plants and
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: coal plants power plants generally speaking. That they say will
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: allow the United States to meet its artificial intelligence goals
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: re industrialize and stop a rise in electricity prices. Artificial
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: intelligence goals, Well, you and I obviously have a tremendous
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: amount of the electricity grid. So there's us, and then
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: there's all the business and industry out there, including the
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: artificial intelligence business and industry. They use massive quantities of power,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: if you haven't gotten the memo, and I saw this
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: interesting article from the Phoenix Capital Research talking about the
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: amount of power that we're going to need and this
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: will result, I think for artificial intelligence. As much as
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: you might hate it, and trust me, I've got my
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: concerns about it in the future of our lives. Generally
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: in a world with artificial intelligence but using a whole
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: lot of electricity, and we are going to be dealing
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: with it. According to Bloom Energy, this is in the
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Phoenix Cup article Bloom Energy twenty twenty six Data Center
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Power Report. Over fifty percent of new data center campuses
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: will exceed five hundred megawatts in energy by twenty thirty five.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: One third will surpass one gigawatt. Now that may not
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: mean anything to you, but thanks for the follow up
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: sentence to put that in perspective. Each single gigawatt campus
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: will power as much electricity as the city of San Francisco.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: So how much energy will AI need? They ask. A
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: courtly report from the Ham Institute for American Energy the
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: United States will need an additional one thousand tarawatt hours
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: of digital demand by the era twenty thirties. And this
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: is going back to my point on AI. You may
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: hate it, but it will allow you and I to
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: have finally nuclear power. To meet this demand, the United
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: States will need to build seventy five to one hundred
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: gigawatts of energy generating capacity by the twenty thirties. That
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: is roughly ten times the amount of energy the city
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: of New York consumes during its hottest days of the summer.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: There's your demand. Everybody knows it's coming to. Demand is there,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: and windmills and solar panels are not going to fulfill
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the demand. It's an impossibility. Physics, I do believe comes
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: into play here, so analy analysts say, and going back
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: to the whole States things. States might want to step
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: in and enact their own legislation in the absence of
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: federal standards for regulator or regulating emissions, and immediately thought
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: of the city of Cincinnati. That's like the city going
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: its own way and trying to eliminate carbon dioxide from
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: the environment, as if the city of Cincinnati lives under
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: a glass bubble. So yeah, go ahead and do that.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: You drive your energy prices up, which has happened in
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: California with all the shutdowns of the of the refineries.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: You know, the price of gas in California is illustrative
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: of the broader problem when you when you you impose
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: all these massive regulations forcing these companies to leave the
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: state otherwise shut down operations, the price goes up. Energy,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: whether it's gasoline in your car or the electricity that's
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: powering your home, goes up. Duh. Why going back to
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: the regulatory rollback of the so called greenhouse gas threat?
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Plant food is killing you? Five eighteen Right now fifty
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: five KR see de talk station. Feel free to call
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: more to come up, more more to talk about coming up.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: I'll be right back, fifty five KRC this five one
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday, five one three fifty eight hundred two three
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: talk pounds five fifty on eighteen and t phone related
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: in nothing but since I was talking about artificial intelligence,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: so I guess it is somewhat related Tech Friday a day.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: I have Hatter every Friday year in the fifty five
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Carsery Morning Show. He is a great guy and I
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: think he's doing us all a great service and I
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: appreciate interest. I t for sponsoring this segment. Learn a lot,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: and we learn about all the pitfalls and problems out
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: there in the world. And going with the artificial intelligence. Yeah,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: there maybe some great benefits from it, like, for example,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: we might be able to get abundant inexpenses someday nuclear
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: power that works carbon neutral too, by the way, artificial
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: intelligence might bring that around because we need to compete
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: with the world. You know, the Chinese are out there
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: doing AI as well, and we need to maintain a
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: competitive advantage, which is of course going to require a
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: lot of power. But what are they using AI for?
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: And this is the disturbing thing, and Dave Hatter's brought
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: this up multiple times. Artificial intelligence deep fake technology is
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: becoming so easy that anyone can use it, and mostly
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: a lot of fraudsters of course using it now easily deployable.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: It used to require some measure of technical expertise to create, like,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: for example, a video that looks like a real human being. Yeah,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: there was a whole lot of coding or whatever that
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: went into it. I'm monobviouce when it comes to this
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: kind of thing. But remember what the old videos look like. Yeah,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: well it took up pretty sophisticated program to put that together. Now,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: with AI and chat ept and all these different services,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: is becoming very easy to do it. Impersonation for profit.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Several illustrations, So I'd like the Breitbart article on this
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: from Lucas Nolan, but it doesn't matter. These were actually
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: widely reported. Western Australian Premier Robert Cook was put in
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: a video that he appeared to promote an investment scheme.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: So you know, it'd be like Donald Trump saying, hey,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: here buy this. It was made up. Fabricated videos of
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: doctors endorsing skin creams. Be careful what you pay attention
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: to on the internet. Maybe that's not a real human being,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: let alone a doctor. Deep fakes of Swedish journalists and
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: the president of Cypress that were used for fraud, those happen.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: We got one Singaporean multinational business finance officer paid out
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollars because he believed he was on
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: a legitimate video call with company leadership. A video call,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: he's talking with someone who is fake, and he doesn't
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: realize the person he's talking to on the video call
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: is is ones and zeros effectively. One MIT researchers said,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: capabilities of suddenly reached the level where fake content can
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: be produced by pretty much anybody. Guy Overt Harvard, he's
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: a researcher Fred at Hiding talking about this scale. It's
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: becoming so cheap almost anyone can use it. Now. The
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: models are getting really good. They're becoming much faster than
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: most expert things. Faster in the sense that they can
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: do real time conversations with you. And that's where we
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: pivoted with another one of these weird, weird examples. It
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: didn't work out. The fraudster was caught and recognized by
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Jason Rebholt, CEO of an AI security startup. This is
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: a guy who's in the business of artificial intelligence. CEO.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: He's got a job open. He's looking for an engineer
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: and someone well applied for it. Says, Wow, this looks
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: like a pretty smart guy. He's noticed some you know,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: strange components of this process of going back and forth.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: But he did schedule an interview, schedule an interview, and
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: he noticed the video feed was you know, there were
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: some problems with it, and that's where the red flags
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: he previously saw. He realized it was face. He said,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: the background extremely fake. He said it was really struggling
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: to deal with a deal around the edges of the individual,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: like parts of his body were coming in and out.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: He said that I'm looking into his face a little
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: soft around the edges. So after the interview's over, he
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: sent it to some research firm that does know how
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: to detect deep fake videos and said, yep, it's sure
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: enough was a deep fake. And his point is like,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: if we're getting targeted the AI company, then everybody's getting
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: targeted with it. Yeah. Now here's where I'm saying. I
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: thought of this and Dave Dave had or confirmed it.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Code word. I've talked with this with my mom. Code word,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: because they are gotten highly sophisticated with voice cloning, and
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: now we're going to have the same thing with video cloning.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, voice cloning now is so good that you
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: can hear the voice and you can say Nope, that's
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: the guy. I like, Brian Tom. I think I must
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: be talking to Brian Thomas, it sounds exactly like him. Nope,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: they're so slick and so good that you will not know.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: So you can interact with them and they can real
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: time answer questions. How do you know if you're dealing
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: with a real human being or not? As this gets
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: even better and better down the road, you better have
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: a code word if you have any question in your mind.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: You get a distress call from a family member in
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: the middle of the night, Oh my god, I'm in
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: an accident. Code word, like my mom called me in
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: the middle of the night. Distressed Mom. What's the code word?
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: How would a I know what your private code word
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: is within your family? You're right they wouldn't. This researcher,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: warned about long term consequences, said, that'll be the big
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: pain point here, the complete lack of trust in digital
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: institutions and institutions and material in general. Think about that.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: So good that not that far down the road or
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: moment in's time, A moment's time down the road. Any
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: phone call you get, they can already clone the phone
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: number that you're accustomed to. Oh, that's mom's phone number.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: That must be my mom. Nope, you do by that
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: You pick it up and it sounds like your mom
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: on the phone. You don't even know if it's your
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: mom or not. You got to question everything. And then
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: when this rolls over into the video realm, and again
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: we're right a moments in time away from them being
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: able to create something so real and so interactive with
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: your real time that you will not know. You're not
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: going to be able to trust anything. That sounds like
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: a terrible, terrible direction for the world. Yeah, a downside
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: of artificial intelligence five twenty seven. Feel free to call
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: five on three seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: hundred and eight two three talk. You're right back with
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: local stories fifty five KRC thirty one On a Wednesday,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: somebody put on an APD for Tom used to keep
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: getting his call this time of day. Your calls are
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: always welcome. Five one three seven four nine fifty five
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: hundred eight hundred two three talk speaking to data centers.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Oh look, it's continuing theme in the news this morning,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: local stories. Today the councils, since a city council are
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: going to be voting on creation of a three month
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: what they call interim overlay district, described as applying to
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: over twenty two thousand parcels of land, including space in
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Queens Gay, Carthage, Oakley and East End. This interim overlay
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: district described as forcing companies interested in building or expanding
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: existing data centers to go through a new zoning review process.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Since any department of city Planning and Engagement would analyze
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: the scope and compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood character would
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: provide recommendations to the city's Planning Commission, which would then
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: judge the project on whether it fits with the public
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: interest planning commit you think market forces would anyway. Planning
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Commission also consider things like density scale, impact on traffic,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: air quality, ah power and utilities, as well as water consumption.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: After that, the Planting Commission would give a recommendation to
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: the City Council, which would then approve or deny the
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: zoning change. Since the overlay district, they say his temporary
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: city council could also vote to extend it for even
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: longer period of time, they say nine months. According to
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: city planner Sophia ferris Row, there aren't any, in her words,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: current threats we are rushing to try and beat. This
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: said already that suggests you as a bad attitude about
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: these data facilities. I don't know threats and as they're
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: reporting is current hocket props to Sidney Franklin over at Enquire.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: There are already twenty data centers in Greater Cincinnati according
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: to the Database Data Center Map, not within the city
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: limits for the most part, and the ones that are
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: within the city limits described as downtown. But they aren't
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: those giant facilities, the one hundred acres of land or more.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: So that's you know, I guess effectively, there's probably no
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: place to put one of those massive facilities in downtown Cincinnati,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: but they're getting ahead of it. City Council apparently going
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: to be voting today to approve the zoning study to
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: define data centers in the zoning code so there's less
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: confusion about where they can be built. Also, this study
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: will do best practices and look at other cities and
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: analyze existing sites throughout Cincinnati, and oh my god, Todd's Enzer,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: our citizen watchdog. They will include a public engagement period.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: If Todd shows up, they'll have another opportunity to ignore
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: the rational, logical, and reasonable questions posed by Todd Zenzer,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: which he did just the other day. The follow up
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: railroad money. This one wasn't widely reported. That's why we
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: have Todd. He went to the meeting of the Cincinnti
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Southern Railway Trust Board of Trustees, so he called it
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: a good discussion on why the city has not deployed
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: the railway money in a timely way. He writes, if
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: your call, we began raising the issue of the board
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: in their February meeting a year ago, recommending that the
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: board established this system where the city would draw down
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: the money only when needed instead of the quarterly tranches
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: it's currently receiving from the trust fund. They're supposed to
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: have shovel ready projects like RFPs are out. We know
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: what the proposal says. We got guys waiting in the
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: wings for money so they can start doing the project.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: That's not what's going on right now. They get the
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: quarterly draw down from the trust fund, and what are
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: they doing. They're putting the money in the general Investment Fund,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Todd writ is. A handout provided by the city at
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: the meeting with the Railway Trust Fund. Meeting shows the
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: city has only spent twelve percent of the railway funds
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: that they got. So the situation is more than likely
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: to continue for the next few years. Meanwhile, the city
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: is depositing the other eight eighty eight percent of the
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: railway money into the General Fund investment account, which has
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: a balance of its own about one point six billion dollars.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: That money is then generating interest into the general fund,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: which again I would argue, freeze it up from the
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: obligation to spend those funds on pre existing projects, existing infrastructure.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: It went into the general fund, the big black hole
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: General Fund. Now it's generating interest, he said. As I
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: mentioned to the board this afternoon, the railroad was not
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: sold in order to generate investment income for the city's
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: general fund. It was sold to fix our roads and
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: decaying infrastructure. Obviously, the city put very little thought or
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: preparation into how they were going to actually get all
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: that money deployed once the conveyor belt of railway funding
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: began moving. Yay, Todd's inzer. There's going to be a
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: legal action on that at some point. I imagine five
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: point thirty five right now, fifty five KRCD talk station stack,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Oh stupid, come in up and share facts, love, share facts,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: credit Union, merge with Emory a little on five cars
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: the talk station.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: Don't vote Democrat there he is, well.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: At least you have a SoundBite of him. Joe, he
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: used put out some artificial intelligence and just do a
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: whole phone call with Tom. Would his whole cloth create it?
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: That's right. We are guaranteed human here on the fifty
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: five kr Se Morns show, although I guess artificial intelligence
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: caller could call in certainly distinct possibility five one three
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: seven for fifty five hund eight hundred eight two three
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: taco with pound five fifty on eight and T funds
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: making it into the stack of stupid. I'll do my
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: best to be delicate about this when give an FCC obligations.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Although not it's not graphic or anything. It's just absolutely
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: ridiculous and unbelievable. Now, I will start by pointing out
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: this is on video. This isn't just one student saying
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: something and not have anything to back it up. Now,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: if I say that, recognizing all the points I just
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: made this morning about artificial intelligence video, and we won't
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: be able to believe our own eyes. But I think
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: given all the witnesses that were there at this wrestling match,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: plus the video, we can sure that we can be
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: sure that the video is real. We have a female
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: high school. A real female high school wrestler has accused
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: a transgender opponent of trying to push his fingers into her.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: I just say, ho ha? Is that okay Joe into her?
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: Hoo ha?
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: During a wrestling match in Washington State sixteen years old.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: She is Kaylee Keeler, sophomore at Rogers High School, said
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: the assault a currnder in his sumber six girls wrestling
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: match against Emerald Ridge High School. Teen said She's on
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: the matt, face down. Her opponent, who is a male
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: who identifies as female, was on top of her. She
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: says her opponent put his hands between her legs and
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: then began trying to push his fingers into her, who
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: hop said, nothing like this has ever happened to me.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: He had been wrestling. I didn't even know it was
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: a guy, she said, unaware that he was really a
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: biological boy that was claiming to be a girl. She said,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: I really don't know what to think of it. It's
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: a women's wrestling team, so I wasn't really thinking about that. Like,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: I had no idea I'd be wrestling against the guy.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Told her coach about it, said it made her uncomfortable.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Coach promised to look into it. Several days later, her
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: parents called the office of the high school. Her mom said,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: this is a huge issue in something that's one hundred
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: percent not okay. The fact that this was done by
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: a biological male who identifies as a female as an
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: even bigger issue for me. Where do we go from here?
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Good question. The wrestling coach at Rogers High School said,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: you know, I mos certainly would not put Kaylee on
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: the mat if I thought that she was competing with
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: a male. I will investigate this and looking to see
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: if we have a video on our end you do,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: I will touch basically you either this afternoon or tomorrow morning.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: I'll do my due diligence, you know what. Probably not
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: going anywhere. Apparently state law there allows transgender individuals to
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: compete whatever category they wish to with no restrictions at all,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: meaning this was not unlawful. School district was asked upon
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: follow up because apparently they went silent up until the
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: second week of January. This matter is currently under investigation,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: the district said in a statement. As such, this district
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: is legally required to protect the privacy of students and
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: families and cannot share details regarding an individual, students, or
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: specific incidents. You can say is that student safety is
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: a top priority in that reports involving student safety are
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: taken seriously. Yeah, that's a statement direct from legal nothing
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: nothing nothing nothing nothing serious serious areas safety important, serious, serious,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: serious nothing. Pierce County Sheriff's office said they are investigating,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: and investigation has been initiated. Now, as for Emerald High School,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: where the transgender wrestler came from, apparently there are reports
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: of girls they have complained about the presence of men
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: identifying as females in the girl's locker room. Nothing apparently
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: has been done by school officials. I guess you go
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: back to that pesky state law which allows guys to
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: simply declare their women and then engage in physical sports
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: with women, inviting opportunities for this type of perverted behavior
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: to happen. HM. Who's in favor of that kind of thing? Yeah,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: we know where the blame lies. Three eight hundred eight,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: two to three Talk the talk station. It's five forty
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: nine on a Wednesday, and the happy ones see a
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: big picture with Jack than coming up at seven oh
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: five before we get to move forward with status stupid.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I got Tom on the line. Tom, Welcome to the
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: show and happy Wednesday to you, sir.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, sorry for the delay. I know my normal spot
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: is a little earlier, but a little bit of a
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: late start today, So that's all right. Yeah, you're you're
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: stack of stupid there item. They're the last segment. It's
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: that kind of crap. I don't get it. And the
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: part I don't get is why are the adults allowing
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: this to happen?
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: And I don't just.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: Mean because these are teenagers. I mean the people who
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: are supposed to be adults in positions of responsibility, who
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: are supposed to be the bumper guards for society and
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: help us stay on, you know, generally on the path
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: we're supposed to go on, who are allowing this kind
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: of ridiculous stupidity to be happening.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Are you referring to the adults that allow transgender individuals
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: to compete in whatever category they wish under state law
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: in this state? Those people?
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: That is correct?
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: There you go?
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: That is so we got the the alleged adults who
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: are not who are passing the laws and championing the laws,
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: and then we got the school district people and all that.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: It's it's nonsense. It's absolute nonsense. And and this is
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: what happens when you allow communism, socialism, when you allow
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: government rent run by your feelings and emotions.
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: And that's what the I mean.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: There's no there's no common sense.
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: To this, there's no reason.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: It just defies all the logic to say, hey, hey,
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: we're gonna let this dude climb on top of this
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: chick and and what And that's that's nonsense. It's absolute nonsense.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: And there's the only solution to it is to get
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: Democrats out power. I keep saying it, but it's really
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: the only solution. You have to put adults in charge,
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: people who have common sense and use reason to make decisions,
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: and not allow these people who will just operate all
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: by their feelings other people's feelings.
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: And oh and these are.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: The people that are screaming aloud us, so we better
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: take care of them. No, those are the people you
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: need to stand up to say no, that's not okay,
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: that doesn't make sense and it's not right. So you guys,
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: when you go to the ballot box here later this year,
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: don't vote Democrat.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Have a great day, Brian, Thanks Tom, appreciated over to
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: this deck is stupid. Y'all know what self pleasure is.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: We have a serial self pleasure art. We're in the
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: UK for this one. James Gathercole, forty years old, picked
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: up and arrested after a woman noticed him staring at
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: her from a nearby seat on a train after passengers
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: on the same train got off at this East Cordon
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: stop in South London. He then fully exposed himself and
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: began pleasure himself while staring at this woman. Happened last year,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: get penalties.
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: So we could get into the penalty box.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: All by himself, and damned if he wouldn't exactly got
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: off the traded Upper Warlington and reported the action to
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: a rail staff member who got in touch with politic.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: With the British Police, footage shows Gathercole being arrested. Checks
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: on the Police national database uncovered that he was in
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: breach of an existing sexual harm prevention order and he
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: had conditions associate with that order from prior from prior
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: events that were comparable to this one. July twenty four
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: jailed for two separate instances during which he exposed himself
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: to women and pleasured himself on two London trains. This
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: protective orders, it's a ten year long protective order issued
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: after that conviction, prohibited from traveling on public transport without
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: a valid method of payment, making any form of contact
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: with any lone woman. He breached that the morning he
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: well exposed himself on the train and started pleasuring himself.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: He also breached the conditions of his prison release by
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: not being on his property at seven pm. I guess
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: he had a curfew. Further attested that defense in the station,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: he admitted to two counts of exposure as well as
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: being in breach of that protective order and the conditions
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: of his prison release. Jailed for two years and four months,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: I would imagine Joe probably dead right on that one.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Let's see here, Oh Lord Almighty. Columbus, Ohio got a
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: mom accused of injecting feces into her child's ivy at
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: the hospital. Do what the hell criminal complaces? Hospital staff
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: saw Tiffany Lee Sewer, she's thirty five, injecting what they
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: called a foreign substance in her child's ivy. Happened in
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: February sixth. On February's staff again saw her injecting what
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: they believed to be human waste into the child's iv
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: A couple days later, that's when they call police. Hospital
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: staff to officers, they looked at surveillance video of the
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: child's room that allegedly showed her go into the room
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: with a cup. She then put what appeared to be
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: fecal matter into the syringe, injecting into the ivy line
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: of the child's left hand. She's been charged with child

  Speaker 1: o'clock hour. Your phone calls are quite welcome, and maybe
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: we're gonna go into about CAREC, decoxidation. Happy to D
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: to day, Bryan Thomas hosted with Think the five Careasey
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Mornings Show, inviting phone calls as always five on three

  Speaker 1: seify hundred eighth eight two three talks. Anybody think the
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Princeton High School walkout students are gonna suffer from some
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: like consequences of that? Hey, Joe, remember when you used
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: to walk out of class lover Lasal. Oh, yeah, they
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: let you do it all the time. Right, I gotta
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: go out and protest. I'm gonna leave early. Get you
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: signed walk around out front? Right? Yeah, I'm sure that's
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: what your posters said, Joe. Anybody think the Princeton High
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: School teachers had something to do with the protest? Just
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: steal on that one for a minute. Anyhow, I'm pretty
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: sure if they walked out of school, like maybe to
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: support a Turning Point USA event or maybe support some
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: conservative cause, that there would probably be some repercussions and
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: some downside risk and consequences for that. Anyway, You feel
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: free to chime in on that or anything else you'd
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: like to love to hear from you if you have something.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Just FYI, it looks like the government is going to
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: shut down. There's some talk about another continuing resolution kick
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: the can down the road for maybe a few more weeks.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: They say they need more time to negotiate. Many were
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: suggesting that the original Continuing Resolution on DHS funding wasn't
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: long enough to do the negotiations. Democrats are holding fast
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: on their list of demands, and of course Republicans are saying, no,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: we can't concede it most of these demands, although they
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: have no problem with some of them, like body cameras
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: which have been deployed in moss all over the place.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Thousands and thousands of the DHS folks now have body cameras.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: But if they conceded all the Democrats demands effectively, ICE
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: would be shut down. Of course, that will dovetail nicely
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: in the Judge Ennenopolitana's column this morning, again looking at
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: general warrens versus administrative warrants, or rather general warrants being
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: like administrative warrants vice versa. We had problem with that
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: with our founding fathers, which is why they require probable cause.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: So we'll see if a judicial warrant obligation is going
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: to be put in place, that would be a major
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: stumbling block for ices well quick clee doing their job.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: It wouldn't stop it from doing its job. It would
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: be an impediment anyhow, fraud, We go to John Stossel.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: He's brilliant, does great job op ed piece talking about fraud,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: and I really do believe a lot of this ice activity. Well,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Minnesota doesn't want the ice activity to occur because their
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: entire economy is built on the welfare recipients that are
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: the immigrant population. They get massive, massive infusions of cash.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: The school districts are based on money being allocated per student,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: so they have an incentive to want the kids there
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: in the classrooms. That means more money for the school districts.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Just one point, but all the welfare dollars that come in,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: that serves to create a like a microeconomy. And when
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: you pull out the illegal immigrants or you otherwise cause
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: them to no longer engage in commerce and industry because
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: they're afraid to be picked up, well, the foundation for
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: your economic model collapses. And that's a lot of what's
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: going on out there. But behind that economic model is
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: the fraud that happens when these programs are rolled out
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: that do infuse money into the neighborhood. We go over
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: to John Stossel, right just yesterday, he said, Americans want
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: to help people in need, but when the government does
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: that does that about five hundred billion dollars in taxpayer
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: money gets stolen. It's how the system is designed that.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: According to the United Council on Welfare Frauds Andrew mcclennan,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: you're measuring success by the amount of money you put out.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: He put it out. But because of that, government agencies
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: rarely check whether their handouts go to the right people.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: Minnesota the latest example. Government officials didn't uncover the fraud
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: props to YouTuber Nick Shirley articles back at twenty eighteen
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: talking about millions of dollars in suitcases being flown out
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: of Minneapolis. But it took a twenty year old with
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: an iPhone to go out there and expose it on Twitter.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: After Shirley publicized the fraud, the White House froze billions
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: of dollars in welfare payments. Progressive is a little upset
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: about that at Representative ilon Omar, complaining what they are
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: doing is creating confusion, chaos, trying to intimidate people. There's
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: no reason for them to fully stop the funding of
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: these programs. The only reason they're doing that is for
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: pr purposes. Really, Tim Wall's governor, this is on my watch.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: I am accountable, he said, But he didn't do anything
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: about the fraud during the pandemic. Joe Biden said, my
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: message to those cheats out there is this, you can't hide.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: We're gonna find you. Sadly, they didn't. Of the hundreds
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: of billions of dollars stolen in twenty twenty twenty four
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: to the Department of Justice, barely, he writes, recovered two
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: point nine billion. Hundreds of billions they got two point
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: nine back. Question, is there something we can do to
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: stop the fraud with Klanahan, Sure you can. It takes
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: less than a second to verify things with data connections
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: these days, but government rarely uses modern data connections. Elon Musk,
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: when he ran Doge, complained that government records were not computerized.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: Many agencies doled money out without even saying what the
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: money was for or even where it went. Must call
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: the government record keeping a time warp. Mcclinahan said, you know,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: the relying on rules and regulations written for pen and paper,
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: which you look at. A poor record keeping makes fraud easier,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: and some people openly brag about it. During Trump's first term.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: A rapper wrote a song about stealing benefits that Trump
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: rushed out for pandemic era relief. Quote. I got a
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: shout out to Donald Trump. I just might swipe me
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: a lump sum that was in California. There's a lot
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: of fraud there. The state gave phone subsidies to ninety
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: four thousand accounts of dead people. Clanahan said, everybody knows
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: that the United States is the easiest game in town.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: Some stolen funds go to alleged terrorists. He said, we
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: literally rang the dinner bell for the whole world, and
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: they answered, these are programs people in other countries are
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: not eligible. But if you're not checking to see where
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: somebody lives, where they're applying from who they are, you're
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: not going to find them, he points out. In addition,
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: many state politicians don't try to find fraud. Handouts mostly
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: come from the federal government. So local politicians reason that
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: people in other states pay, but my taxpayers collect, Why
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: make a big effort to stop that. Does that sound
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: remarkably like Governor Mike DeWine. Yeah, the answer is yes.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Trump recently gave investigators more access to state data, so
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: fraud could be better tracked. But some states don't want
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: to reveal that data. They openly stand against the data request.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Tell me that isn't just an like an outright admission. No,
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: we want the fraud to continue. And mcclanan points out
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: those states are actively suing the government to avoid having
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: to provide this information. That's nefarious. Whenever comes give Whenever
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: government gives handouts, it creates bad incentives. Before the government
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: started welfare payments, Americans were steadily lifting themselves out of poverty.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: When welfare checks began, progress continued for several years, but
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: then stops stop handouts have taught some people to stay dependent.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: What should be done, According to mcclenahan, he says, verify
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: eligibility first. Oh, there's an idea. I've been harping on
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: this for a while now. It's easy to start from
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: the proposition that you need to start with the idea
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: that money might be fraudulently taken. Let's start with well, roadblocks.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Let's start with verifying eligibility first. That way you prevent
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: fraud before the money goes out. No one should get
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: benefits without trying to work. You've got to be looking
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: for a job, volunteering, or at least getting job training.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: The best welfare program is a job. Yeah, and that's
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: why the work requirements should be there. And that's work
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: requirements for able bodied adults. I go back to my
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: philosophy of life. You know something, I try to raise
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: the kids with this philosophy. You at least better damn
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: well pay for your own way. And this is not
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: to say that someone with a significant disability or other
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: disability is impossible to pay their own way. Maybe that
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: is the case, but those are the people that we
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: really want to help. Americans want to help people in need.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Americans shouldn't be helping people who are not in need,
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: those who are capable of working. And the twenty hour
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: requirement you job training right there. There are so many
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: opportunities in the trades right now that you could have
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: a career. Someone out there is willing to train you.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: You'll put at twenty hours and you might be free
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: and independent. Some people just don't appreciate the value of work.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: Work is, in and of itself, a benefit in life.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: You participate, you earn the right to complain about tax
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: For example, I think it causes you to pay a
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: little bit closer attention to that kind of thing as well,
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: but this idea that there are states out there that
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: want to that literally are standing in the way of
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: tracking down the fraud, going back to their apparently their
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: business model. Five three seven fifty five hundred eight hundred

  Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday to you, sir.
• 43:49
  Speaker 6: All right, good morning, doctor Brian, come in peace. Look everybody,
• 43:54
  Speaker 6: and there's nothing you can do about it.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Good attitude.
• 43:57
  Speaker 6: Now when I call in, I told Joe that I
• 43:59
  Speaker 6: want to come in on Monday this show I think.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: With Maureen is her name, Oh yeah, yeah.
• 44:06
  Speaker 6: And Kristiman Smith of Rent. But I'll defer that both
• 44:11
  Speaker 6: of those and I stick with the team you have
• 44:13
  Speaker 6: going on today about working and you know, I got
• 44:17
  Speaker 6: to go to the mentor program because I learned this
• 44:20
  Speaker 6: principle by myself, and I try to teach you to
• 44:22
  Speaker 6: the youth that you know, if you do something you like,
• 44:27
  Speaker 6: find out what you like to do, you do something
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: you like, you get a job in that field, and
• 44:33
  Speaker 6: you never work a day in your life. You know
• 44:36
  Speaker 6: you're getting paid for your hobby.
• 44:39
  Speaker 5: And that have carried me so far.
• 44:41
  Speaker 6: You know, there's time I probably didn't work less than
• 44:45
  Speaker 6: two jobs, you know, because I was doing what I enjoyed.
• 44:50
  Speaker 6: For instance, you know I wanted to go to the
• 44:53
  Speaker 6: Cincinnati Bengals game. I didn't want to pay the high
• 44:56
  Speaker 6: ticket price.
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: I was a paramedic.
• 44:59
  Speaker 6: I got on with them medical staff and I worked
• 45:02
  Speaker 6: five years with the beams, three of them right there
• 45:04
  Speaker 6: on the sideline on field. Paramedic.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's cool.
• 45:09
  Speaker 6: So I got paid for doing somebody like a good call.
• 45:14
  Speaker 6: I enjoyed flying. I got on if you remember Calm
• 45:18
  Speaker 6: there that was subsidiary of Delta, and they was in Bankrup.
• 45:24
  Speaker 6: Wouldn't nobody apply for the job, So they made a
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: deal with the police of Fire if we worked these
• 45:29
  Speaker 6: odd hours and did the ramp and carried the luggage
• 45:33
  Speaker 6: and everything. We got to paid a little stifen, but
• 45:36
  Speaker 6: we had all the free flights we could handle kuld book.
• 45:41
  Speaker 6: So I liked the fly. So I took that job.
• 45:45
  Speaker 6: Man flew flew to Africa all over the place because
• 45:48
  Speaker 6: the international flights was easier to get done at domestic
• 45:53
  Speaker 6: because they had larger planes and it was less you know.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: Four Yeah.
• 45:58
  Speaker 6: So that's what I teach in my into a program
• 46:01
  Speaker 6: here with the TS. Find something you like, get your job.
• 46:05
  Speaker 6: Don't just say you knew your job. Let it line
• 46:08
  Speaker 6: up with something you like doing. Yeah, you get paid
• 46:11
  Speaker 6: for your hobby. So I continue to push that knowing, Hey, I.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: Mean, I guess as I struggle with this because you know,
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: I remember the day I decided I was going to
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: be a lawyer. Were sitting around a dinner table, dinner
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: table conversation with my mom and dad, and I was,
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: you know, rambling on as I typically do, you know,
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: talking and talking and talking and talking, and my mom
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: just shook her head. Or was my dad you know what, Brian,
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: you should be a playwright. And I said no, I
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: mean then my dad chimed in and it was one
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: of my parents, No, no, no, you should be a lawyer,
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: and I thought, hmmm, that's a profession I might field
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: to pursue. And so at that moment in time, I
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: started pursuing the idea of becoming a lawyer, which I
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: ultimately did. I didn't know anything about practicing law, James nothing.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it was all about. Brian, you
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: make a good lawyer. I'm like, Okay, that's what I
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: want to be. And then I became a lawyer. And
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you, James, not every day was a great
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: You know, it's a very, very, very stressful job. You
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: gotta deal with a bunch of idiots and jerks, especially
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: if you're in litigation, which is what I was doing
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: practicing law in scorched Earth litigation Chicago. A lot of tension,
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of significant money at stake, and that is
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: looming hanging over your head all the time because you,
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: as an attorney, are responsible for your client and that
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: means you're responsible for the money at issue in the litigation. Stress, massive,
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: twelve plus hour days, six days a week. I saw
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: that a lot. So did I enjoy it? Not really, James?
• 47:32
  Speaker 6: Was it?
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: Did it work out for me over the long term? Absolutely?
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: And would I still be practicing law if I wasn't
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: offered this opportunity here on the Morning Show and my
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: dad retired, Yes I would, but I don't know that
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: I would have been happier that I was ever really
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: truly happy doing it, James. But I dealt with it.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: It put food on the table, It fed my family,
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: and you know what, it was a reasonable way to
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: make a living. So, yeah, happiness, you can hope for that,
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: but not everybody can achieve happiness in a job. But
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: it's still important that you do the job right.
• 48:01
  Speaker 6: Right, and that was a stepping stone.
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: To where you are now.
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: It indeed was, and I've said it a million times.
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: If I didn't practice law for sixteen years, there's no
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: way I could accomplish what is needed for the Morning Show.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: I got exposed to all types of areas of the law.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: The depositions I took allowed me to have it, you know,
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: interchanges with CEOs and even garbage collectors and everybody in between.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: You know, you dealt with a broad swath of humanity.
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: It helps you understand personality types. It helps you engage
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: in questioning and prodding around and poking around the margins
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: of people's positions. And ideas. So yeah, I benefited from
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: it long term, but it doesn't mean I necessarily would
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: have landed in a position where I enjoyed my work.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: How do we find out a job or how do
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: we find a job where we are really kind of
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: not working? Can you get paid for doing your hobby?
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: Makes me think of getting an art degree. You love art,
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: it is your hobby, You're fascinated by it, it inspires you.
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: But can you make a living off of it? Six
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: twenty five Right Now fifty five KRCD Talk Station, Feel

• 49:12
  Speaker 1: Six point thirty fifty five KRC the talk Station, Happy Wednesday. Well,
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: I was just thinking if I had to get something
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: that I wanted to do for a living, that I
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: think I would have liked. A Welding is always fascinating me.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: Thanks to being a litigation attorney in Chicago, had a
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: litigation case involving welding, and I got fascinated with welding.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: Talk to welders, learned about how to weld just sort
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: of on paper anyway, that man, that's that is a
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: hell of a skill and it also can be very lucrative.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: So you get to kind of make things that are
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: always going to be there. You can stand and be
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: proud over your accomplishments, and I don't know, just I
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: think there'll be a wonderful skill to have. And again
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: you can make fat bank doing that. And apparently there
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: is a huge need for welders out in the world.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: So that's just a quick suggestion. Three seven, four nine
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: fifty eight two three talk local stories. We go over
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: to Kentucky. My friends in the Commonwealth Kentucky police and
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: prosecutors are pushing to outlaw glock switches. Hope you know
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: what a glock switch is. It converts a glock firearm,
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: which is a semi automatic pull the trigger once a
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: single bullet fires. If you put a glock switch in it,
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: you pull the trigger and it shoots like a machine
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: gun at a pretty high rate too. Twelve hundred rounds
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: per minute, I believe has been commonly referred but it's
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: let me just acknowledge. I think these glock switches are
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: stupid as well as impractical. I mean, you'll empty a
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: magazine in a moment's time and it's going to jump
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: all over the place and spray. To maintain some efficient
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: accurate firing. These are not the thing to have, but whatever.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: Jason EMBs LOUIV, a Republican who introduced this bill, House
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: Bill two ninety nine, you said, they're very cheap, they're
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: very easy to get, and they're very deadly. You can
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: actually make them with a three D printer. And federal
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: law already bans these device. They are illegal under federal law,
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: but local officials apparently find it difficult to enforce federal
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: law because states have their laws, Feds have their laws.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: You're going to rely on the Justice Department to go
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: after a lone guy with a glock switch. Probably not
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: going to happen. Meims said, we're not making anything illegal
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: that's currently legal. It's already illegal to have this. But
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: we're doing is making a state law. We're enabling local
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: law enforcement, local prosecutors go after this and get these
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: off our streets. They are very deadly. Spike Jones, Kentucky
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: County Police Chief or Kenton County Police Chief rather is
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: behind this. He's the one that mentioned the twelve in
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: a round figure. Twelve in a rounds permitted indiscriminate fire.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: Amen to that brother fully automatic fire. This poses a
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: huge risk of the public, quadrupling the amount of return
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: fire that our officers may be capable of returning in
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: an ambush. We need to eliminate that putting the public
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: at risk.
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: So dramatic increase in these according to Sheriff Jones, not
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: only other states, but also locally. Apparently possession the bill
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: will make possession of the conversion device is a class
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: fell on the under Kentucky law. Now, in so far
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: as the NRA is concerned neutrality, yeah, they're neutral in
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: the position Glock sent a letter in support of the law.
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: So they say the bills expected you had to get
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: a committee hearing date soon. So I'm not a fan
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: of them. I think they're stupid, although I am a
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: Second Amendment fan. Let's see, got Steve on the phone.
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: Hey Steve, thanks for calling this morning. Happy Wednesday to you.
• 52:30
  Speaker 7: Happy Wednesday. Did you say Spike Jones. That's that's an
• 52:34
  Speaker 7: interesting name. That Wasn't that like a comedic character from
• 52:38
  Speaker 7: years like the nineteen fifties or something. Maybe Okay, yeah,
• 52:43
  Speaker 7: you know it's whatever. That's whenever you say Dusty Rhodes.
• 52:46
  Speaker 7: Because I grew up in Miami, Florida, there was a
• 52:49
  Speaker 7: professional wrestler. When I was a kid, that was Dusty Rhodes.
• 52:52
  Speaker 7: So I was saying, you know, I don't know, it
• 52:55
  Speaker 7: just seems like some of these names keep popping up. Hey,
• 52:57
  Speaker 7: not what I called about, though, But Mississippi James was
• 53:02
  Speaker 7: talking about work. And I've shared this with you before.
• 53:05
  Speaker 7: I'm about to turn sixty four. I did retire at
• 53:08
  Speaker 7: sixty two with no intention of stopping working. I just
• 53:13
  Speaker 7: wanted to get away from a pressure job. And do
• 53:18
  Speaker 7: I still want it to work. And you know why
• 53:20
  Speaker 7: I want to work because I look at work as
• 53:22
  Speaker 7: a blessing. It's not a curse, it's a blessing. But
• 53:25
  Speaker 7: I work three days a week. One of my things
• 53:28
  Speaker 7: I enjoy is AM talk radio. So I got a
• 53:31
  Speaker 7: job where I ride around from like five thirty in
• 53:34
  Speaker 7: the morning to about two thirty in the afternoon, and
• 53:37
  Speaker 7: I make deliveries. I listen to the radio. They pay
• 53:39
  Speaker 7: me to listen to the radio all day.
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: That's great, And I guess you'd probably like to drive too.
• 53:45
  Speaker 7: It helps if well, you know, believe it or not.
• 53:47
  Speaker 7: There is a little bit of skill involved in driving,
• 53:50
  Speaker 7: of course, there is. You're not only controlling your vehicle,
• 53:54
  Speaker 7: you're watching out for all the ya who's around you.
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: That's why I love love to drive and ride my motorcycle.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: It is a chess game out there that gets more
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: and more difficult each and every day, and I get
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: a thrill out of that. It keeps you on your toes.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: If you're paying attention to the road, which I do.
• 54:12
  Speaker 5: You tick him out?
• 54:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you can see him coming up behind you real fast,
• 54:16
  Speaker 7: yea to kill me? Well yeah, you know, Thank thank goodness,
• 54:21
  Speaker 7: that hasn't. Yeah, well, but it would have been nice
• 54:23
  Speaker 7: if he passed you and left you alone in that.
• 54:26
  Speaker 6: For whatever reason.
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: He's zero.
• 54:28
  Speaker 7: You must have done something to make him mad.
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: Nope, did not.
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: Whatever.
• 54:32
  Speaker 7: Well, it's a good thing somebody like you was his
• 54:35
  Speaker 7: target because you knew what to do. So that that's
• 54:38
  Speaker 7: there's a blessing right here. But I mean, there are
• 54:40
  Speaker 7: people I grew up with that couldn't wait to stop working,
• 54:45
  Speaker 7: and I'm like, what do you do all day? I mean,
• 54:47
  Speaker 7: you know, and I do have some hobbies, maybe not
• 54:50
  Speaker 7: as many as I should have. I really enjoy my
• 54:52
  Speaker 7: off days, more so in the springtime and summertime. But
• 54:57
  Speaker 7: I enjoyed them because I don't have off days. Seven
• 54:59
  Speaker 7: days a week, you know, So I it's like it's
• 55:03
  Speaker 7: a counter balance. So the work is a blessing. The
• 55:06
  Speaker 7: off days are great, but it's because you know, you work,
• 55:10
  Speaker 7: you're off whatever. You know what I'm trying to.
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: Say, Yeah, the pressure, the pressure to do a straight
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: nine to five, to get up every single day and
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: have to show up and be accountable, that is gone.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: Now you're doing what you want, when you want. It's
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: a beautiful position to be in. And I applaud you
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: for continuing to work even post retirement. That'll probably keep
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: you younger and more engaged, and you know, maybe fend
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: off dementia or anything else by way of health problems
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: that people have. Because you, sir, are identifying the exact
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: reason that I'm worried about retirement. I have no blanket
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: idea what I'm going to do to fill my time,
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: and that sounds like danger to me, you know, idle
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: hands being the devil's workshop. Steve, take care man. Good
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: to hear from you this morning, six thirty six fifty
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: five care see the talk station twenty two three on
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: Route forty two between Mason eleven and Love that Gunshot.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: Love the folks there, Wendy and jeff the owners just
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: outstanding people. You got to say hi to both of
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: them when you want when you go into.
• 56:00
  Speaker 8: Oh yeah, for example, for example, I found out yesterday
• 56:03
  Speaker 8: and I don't know if you've ever heard this. Did
• 56:06
  Speaker 8: you know in two thousand and eight, after Jeffrey Epstein's
• 56:09
  Speaker 8: was convicted, he won the lottery in Arizona eighty million
• 56:13
  Speaker 8: dollars on the lottery.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: That's a new one. I haven't heard that.
• 56:19
  Speaker 8: You don't believe me, look it up. I didn't believe
• 56:20
  Speaker 8: it either.
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: It's absolutely true, okay, inviting my regular comment when I
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: hear things like that, if you read it on the internet,
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: it must be true, said Abraham Lincoln. So there's so
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: much crap out there, Corey, and I've had dear friends
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: of mine who I respect intellectually. He will send me
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: or a statement or something. I'm like, that just can't
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: be right, And so I'll go investigate and look around,
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: and I'll finally realize, no, that has been that is
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: an absolute, outright falls that's just wholly made up. It's
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: whole cloth lie. So and I'll get back with them, like,
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: have you checked your sources before you go send stuff
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: like that into the world. So don't know if Epstein
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: won the lottery or not. But I don't know that
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: that necessarily means it's all fraudulent. What I know the lottery,
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: the likelihood of you winning is like slim to zero.
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: You got no chance. Go play the roulette wheel at
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: the casino. You got a much better chance of winning.
• 57:08
  Speaker 8: Right, Well, this is true looking up, I didn't believe
• 57:11
  Speaker 8: it myself, did some research. It was claimed by a
• 57:14
  Speaker 8: trust that he ran, and I took the cash option
• 57:18
  Speaker 8: at twenty nine million out of the eighty. Well you
• 57:23
  Speaker 8: know how that happening. But unbelievable, I.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: Tell you what. Y odds are almost impossible and really
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: raising some questions. Joe Stracker has been assigned the job
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: Internet research career Joe Stracker. I asked him to look
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: into it and see if he can confirm the validity
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: of what you said. I have my popcorn out waiting
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: for the answer. Correy, have a great one, man. Uh,
• 57:42

  Speaker 1: blog posts, on a lot of X posts mentioning it.
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: But the Hindu stand times. Let's say a trust that

  Speaker 1: We got Mike on the phone. Mike, thanks for calling.
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday.
• 59:28
  Speaker 9: Hi, Brian, I kind of andy. But before that, I'd
• 59:33
  Speaker 9: like to see the side of that clip that holds
• 59:35
  Speaker 9: twelve hundred bullets.
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: Oh the magazine, Yeah, no, it's not a clips magazine.
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: I got correct in the record there. Yeah, I don't
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: believe they have them. They do make drum they make
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: drum mags. They make drum bags for glocks. Mike, and
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: I think they hold. I don't know if more than
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: fifty or one hundred rounds. They're cumbersome, they're very heavy,
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: and they're stupid, but they do have them. But yeah,
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: you need a belt feed. I think for a twelve
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: hundred per minute a feed.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 9: But about Andy Forsher, well, he was on the View
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 9: the other day and I thought the sec SA they're
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 9: going to start cracking down on equal of time for candidates,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 9: wondering when his opponent will be on the view for
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 9: them to tack him.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: Good luck on that one. I know that Trump administration
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: putting pressure on the View for equal time. Honestly, not
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: sure that's the road I want to go down. Anyway,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: we struggle with equal time here on the fifty five
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: Kerrec Morning Show. Anyway, appreciate the call, Mike. You have
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: a great day, my friend. See what cribbage Mike's done.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: Welcome back, my submarine or friend. Always good to hear
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: from you.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Brian.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 4: So yesterday the lovely young men and women of Princeton
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 4: High School suspended the last hour of classes and we're
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 4: out protesting against ice. Last week out here in Anderson
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 4: Township nearby community, the Forest Here School District also supported,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 4: and they were out protesting. I got another safe wager
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 4: for you and Joe that something tells me that either
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 4: in May or November, some of these same schools could
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 4: be coming back to looking for a tax levy. Instead
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 4: of just your basic vote no on the school levey.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 4: I would like a split screen of these students protesting
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 4: during school hours, and on the other side, maybe the math,
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 4: science and reading scores for that school district, and maybe
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 4: at the top says do you want more of your
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 4: money to go for this?
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: Well, every time they're out, every moment they're out protesting,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: they're not learning, that's for sure. And I keep reading accounts,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: so you know lost time in the classroom translates to
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: lower learning skills. That's a problem. And I guess I'm
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: also curious to know, Mike, if the teachers encourage to
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: walk out, if there's going to be any repercussions for
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: kids you just walk out of school, did they have piss?
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 3: I can do this on video.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 4: Yesterday the teachers were out a watching the students protest,
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 4: quote unquote by the reporter saying that two ortect the students.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 4: So yes, the students the teachers weren't supported this now, granted,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 4: And I would like to think, and I do think
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 4: that this is the minority, because I know my alma mater,
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 4: Elder High School, if I took off the last hour
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 4: to protest, they would say, Mike, keep walking, You're the
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 4: suspended or expelled.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: Well that's what I asked, because I know that's never
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: gonna happen. But you know, I guess I'm old enough
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: to remember a time when that exactly the truth, exactly
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: the case. And fast forward to today. If I'm sitting
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: in a class and I just get up and walk
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: out an hour before school's out, is there going to
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: be am I going to be accountable? Is there going
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: to be am I gonna have to go to the
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: principal's office? Am I gonna be suspended? Are there going
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: to be any repercussions like Saturday school or something? I
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: don't know. I would like to think so so is
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: what's the difference one person standing up but is literally
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: walking out without permission or entire classes full of people,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: hundreds of students standing up and walking out without permission.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: Seems to me the same thing that she could share
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: should carry the same penalty, Mike, no.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 4: More better example that that is obviously a school sponsored
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 4: event because and and rightly so, when I go pick
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 4: up my grandkids from school for whatever reason, the security
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 4: that I have to go to, I have to be
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 4: on the list. I have to show my idea, which
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 4: I have no problem with doing. So if I got
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 4: to do that to get them out of school early,
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 4: obviously these are school sponsored events.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: Well, and I'd like to think the parents one should
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: step up and say something about that, unless, of course
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: the parents are all woke and anti ice folks. I
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: just don't know, but turning our students into useful idiots
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: and ponds in the game of life. This should be
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: used in school as a civics exercise to talk about
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: the separation of powers, the federal supremacy clause, the idea
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: that there are federal laws that are being enforced and
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: if you don't like that, you need to use representative
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: form of government to change the laws rather than walk
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: out of class.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 4: Well, famous man once said, you don't let the inmates
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 4: run the asylum.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're way way past that. And going back there
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: the Krushchev's comment we will destroy you from within.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 6: Absolutely, yep.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: Look at Minnesota and fraud, look at fraud. Generally speaking,
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: Look at all the NGOs that are being funded left
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: wing propaganda mills and organizations they are with your tax
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: payer money. This isn't a message you embrace. It's a
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: message the left embrace, which is one of undermining the
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: United States of America and everything that makes it great. Yeah,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: that's where we are. And that's not only our elected officials.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: Those are people within institutions destroying us from within with
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: this leftist socialist slash Marxist ideology steeped into everything. Maybe
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: he was onto something. Maybe someone is onto something, Jack, Adam,
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: and certainly onto something. I appreciate the call, Mike, you
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: have a fantastic day, and appreciate your service to our country.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: Big picture with Jack aban Atherton, our Valentine, Martha Washington.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: That's the subject matter of Jack's conversation. Plus following Jack
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: will here from Adam Miller. He's the Concerned Veterans for
• 1:04:55

• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: That'll be coming up. I hope you Instagram for all
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: of it. Today's top seven five at fifty five Karsit
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: Talk Station, Happy Wednesday, Extra special time to be tuned
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: into the fifty five Carsse Morning Show. This is the
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: time a week we get here from Jack added him
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: with a big picture, Jack Adaden, Welcome back, my friend.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining the program every week
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: to well pass along your brilliance and analysis. Good to
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: hear from you.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 10: Thanks so much.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: Pal.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 10: I hope all the guys listening are making romantic plans
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 10: for Valentine's Yes, it's this Saturday, so start puckering up men. Actually, though,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 10: throughout history, it's not always the men who've gone the
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 10: extra mile. Today's seventeen seventy six vignette leading up to
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 10: the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of our country's founding
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 10: honors America's very first and perhaps most romantic first lady.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 10: Not Jackie Kennedy, not even Millennia. I'm talking about Martha Washington.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 10: Missus Washington went thousands of extra miles to comfort the
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 10: general and his troops during the darkest hours of the
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 10: Revolutionary War. It didn't start out so romantic for George
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 10: Martha's first husband. Yes, she had a first husband, Daniel
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 10: Custis took her to live. Would you believe Brian in
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 10: the White House, Yet Virginia Plantation was called. Daniel was
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 10: twenty years older and much taller than Martha, but then
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 10: almost everybody was barely hitting five feet. She was still
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 10: described as strong willed, yet lively and full of fun.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 10: And forget the grandmotherly portraits. This young bride was adorable,
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 10: go look it up. Sadly, she was soon a young widow.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 10: Mister Custis died when Martha was twenty six. She had
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 10: already born four children, only one of whom lived into
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 10: her twenties. In fact, Brian just sixty percent of children
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 10: in colonial times reached the age of twenty. When Martha
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 10: remarried in seventeen fifty nine, George Washington was twenty six.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 10: As well as a colonel of the Virginia Militia. In
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 10: the French and Indian War, George had won a reputation
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 10: for fearlessness that stretched all the way to Great Britain.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 10: Yet as a colonial, the Crown refused to give him
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 10: a commission in the British Army. Had those haughty dopes
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 10: done so George might never have wound up fighting redcoats. Instead,
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 10: the young giant fought for Martha's hand. She had a
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 10: lot going for him. Not the white hair that we
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 10: see from the dollar bill, young George had a full
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 10: head of reddish brown hair. He was almost six foot three,
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 10: a giant in those days, and still had his teeth.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: I was going to say something later on.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 10: He gottii that were made of hippopotamuses. We're going to
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 10: be talking about hippos in a moment. As a wealthy widow,
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 10: Martha did not need to marry. This really seems to
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 10: have been a love batch. What made George is so special? Well,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 10: he must have been because George became guardian of her children,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 10: and after refusing to sign a widow's contract protecting her property,
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 10: Martha gave George control over her land, her money, and
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 10: eighty four slaves in his own right. George had inherited
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 10: Mount Vernon from his half brother Lawrence. His plan was
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 10: to scientifically farm more than sixty crops, and George did
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 10: that very successfully. All the evidence shows he loved Martha's kids,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 10: as well as her niece and nephew and later the grandchildren.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 10: They adopted. Their marriage lasted forty years until his death,
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 10: But as a later fighter, the Great Mike Tyson observed,
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 10: everyone's got a plan until they get punched in the mouth.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 10: The punch for George Washington came with the Revolutionary War.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 10: In seventeen seventy five, the Continental Congress made him Commander
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 10: in chief of its new army. Could Washington have fought
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 10: on without Martha? I don't mean without her support, I
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 10: mean having her at his side. George did not return
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 10: to his beloved Mount Vernon for almost seven years. Every
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 10: single year of the war, during the bitter winter months
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 10: when it was too cold to fight, Martha Washington traveled
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 10: by coach from Virginia to wherever the general was encamped.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 10: The first trip wasn't so bad. Martha gave parties in Cambridge, Massachusetts,
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 10: although George, who loved to dance and play cards, he
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 10: worried about offending the Puritans up there. Then came the
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 10: real punch, in the kisser encampments like Jockey Hollow near
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 10: my hometown of Marristown, New Jersey, and Valley Forge. While
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 10: the General prayed kneeling in the snow, his wife got
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 10: a small pox vaccination and cared for his starving, shoeless soldiers.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 10: They loved the woman they called Lady Washington, as he
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 10: can tell by now I do too. After the British surrender,
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 10: George Washington went on to lead the Constitutional Convention that
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 10: gave America a limited government dedicated to protecting God given
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 10: individual rights. Then, when he really wanted to go back
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 10: to farming, Washington was unanimously chosen to be our first president.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 10: George and Martha went on to set the template for
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 10: all future presidents and first ladies. Brian, I would leave
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 10: everyone with two suggestions. Visit Mount Vernon. It's beautiful and
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 10: more modest than you'd think. But then so were the Washingtons. Also,
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 10: read to your kids and grandkids a hilarious little book
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 10: called George and Martha Rise and Shine. In this book,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 10: George and Martha are two hippos, and a way to
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 10: start telling their real story. There were two hippos who
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 10: truly loved each other, just as George and Martha did.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 10: Happy Valentine's everyone, and God bless America. Men, Bay Casanova.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what I That's the day I
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: got engaged thirty four years ago. This Valentine's Day, I
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: asked my wife to marry me, had big plans take
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: her out to dinner. She wasn't interested Jack, so we
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: ended up getting to carry out thy food, sat in
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: the living room and the kid in the on the
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: floor ate ty food. And that's when I popped the questions.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: She said yes, And I always say, you know that
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: they're behind. Every man is a great woman. And you know,
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: the best thing you can possibly do as a man
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: when you're looking for a spout is find someone who's
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: smarter than you out kick your coverage, which is obviously
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: what George Washington did.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 10: I mean, she would say, by the way, that you've
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 10: been eating tie takeout ever since, but I know how
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 10: well paul At cooks.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she is quite the cook. But you know, it's
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: it just illustrating the value of the importance of a
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: strong marriage and how much that can help you get
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: through the tough times, get through the great times. You
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: get someone to enjoy your life, with someone who's there
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: to care for you when you're feeling bad. I mean,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: there are so many benefits to marriage. And then needs
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: move over to the financial realities of being married and
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: how much easier it is to have two people working together,
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: you know, sharing expenses and sharing you know, chores and
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: that kind of thing. So, you know, tough times, great times,
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: it is the best possible place to be.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 10: You know, Brian, that Amesley is the miracle of my life.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 10: I ever would have gotten into this business after leaving
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 10: law if it hadn't been for her. And of course
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 10: she's the best mother in the world, along with Paulette.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 10: As for first Ladies, in case anybody's wondering, Martha Washington
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 10: did not adopt any causes as first Lady other than
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 10: caring for her family, welcoming dignitaries, and preserving her husband's papers.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 10: First lady causes came later on. I remember as a
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 10: kid Lady Bird Johnson beautifying highways and then you know,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 10: jumping ahead Michelle Obama, among other things, fighting childhood obesity
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 10: and now Malania Trump. As you can see in her documentary,
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 10: I hope everybody goes to see that, focusing on other
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 10: children's issues, including cyber bullying. What I hope we do
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 10: not see again, Brian, is first ladies or gentlemen running
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 10: the government the way Edith Wilson did when Woodrow had
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 10: his ohh, and the way doctor Jill Biden did sitting
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 10: in at cabinet meetings and who knows what else for
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 10: reasons obvious to everybody except Democrats.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: Isn't that the truth? Boy? We learned a lot after
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: Biden was out. Anyhow, Jack Aviden, appreciate you coming to
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: the program again, The Big Picture with Jack adid in
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: every Wednesday beginning at seven oh five here in the
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: fifty five Carosy Morning Show. Thanks for the inside and
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: uh well, Everett appreciate if you've got a great spouse,
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: govern kiss him because you're getting more benefit than you
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: maybe even realize. Jack Aviden, thank you very much for
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: what you do. In best of health and loved you
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: in your better at and happy Wednesday. Coming up VA
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: Access Act with Adam Miller from the Concerned Veterans of
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: America looking at for my veteran friends out there, and
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: that'll be in the next segment. But between now and then,
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: if phone calls me, nice five to three, seven four
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: nine fifty eight hundred eight two three talk. But thinking
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: of Maureen and the voting challenges we had in Georgia,
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: most notably, yeah, the Fulton County election, which starting to
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: solidify here in terms of what they're finding. Now I
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: found out the FBI agents executed a search warrant Union County, Georgia,
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: and the search warrant has just been released. And this
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: is where the rubber may meet the road. Affidavid, filed
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: by FBI Special Agent Hugh Raymond Evans, filed last month,
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: just unsealed yesterday, laying out five categories of confirmed problems
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: in Fulton County's handling of ballots, which concerns have been
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: swirling around for a long time, going all the way
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: back to twenty twenty. Now, all the lawsuits that were
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: filed in connection with voter voting irregularities in the twenty
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: twenty election, most all of them were thrown out because
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: of arguments about lack of standing. At pesky standing thing.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: You have to sort of have a unique harm that
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: befell you or whoever you're representing in order to assert
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: standing in a court. If you suffer the same fate
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: as everybody else, sorry sucks to be you. You can't
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: get a form in a federal court. That's kind of
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: where we were, But that doesn't mean the FBI wasn't
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: looking into it. So we got the FBI and the
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: warrant that was filed, served, and then produced yesterday. Evans
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: filed the affidavid last month for the purpose of establishing
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: probable cause. Speaking of Judge of Politano's topic for the
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: raid where they seized around seven hundred boxes from the
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: storage warehouse, you may have been reading about that. The
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: investigation stemmed from a referral by Kurt Olsen. Now this
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: is President Trump's election integrities are. He interviewed about a
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: dozen unnamed witnesses about allegations regarding the contest that Georgia
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: race Joe Biden if you recall one by less than
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: twelve thousand votes in the official results. Evans wrote, some
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: of those allegations have been disproven, while some of those
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: allegations have been substantiated, including through admissions by Fulton County
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: not unnamed witnesses, but the actual Fulton County folks. The
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: warrant application is part of FBI criminal investigation to whether
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: any of the improprieties were intentional acts that violated federal
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: criminal laws. It's that intent element to qualify as a crime.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: Fulton County admitted it lacks scan images pardon me of
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: all ballots counted during the initial count and lacks scanned
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: images from the state's first recount. Officials confirmed that during
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: the recount, some ballots were scanned multiple times, and apparently
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: ballot images obtained through public record requests show that identical
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: markings appear on duplicated images.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 11: Hmmm.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: Now they did what they call a risk limited limiting
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: audit audit during the period of time they were kind
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: of the vote, So this is a risk limiting audit.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: During that period of time, hand counters reported vote totals
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: for batches that didn't match the actual votes inside the batches.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: The Affidavid says quote these States Performance Review Board reported
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: to the Secretary of State investigators confirm inaccurate batch tallies
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: from the risk limiting audit. Auditors looking at the risk
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: limiting audit reported counting supposed absentee ballots that had never
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: been creased or folded, which would be a necessity for
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: the ballot to be mailed for the voter, and for
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: the ballot to be turned in. The sealed envelope required
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: requiring the voter's signature. So if you have an unfolded
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: ballot that had never been increased or folded, clearly it
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: was not mailed in. How can you put an unfolded
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: ballot into a regular mailing envelope, which should contain the
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: voter's signature for authentication. In other words, you can't on
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: the deadline day to report recount results. Fulton County initially
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: claimed a total of five hundred eleven, three hundred and
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: forty three ballots, oddly seventeen thousand, four hundred and thirty
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: four fewer than the original count, but by the next
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: day the number was up to five hundred and five
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty seven thousand and five or nine twenty five,
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: which is thousands of ballots more than Joe Barden Biden's
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: margin to victory, which they say simply appeared overnight. According
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: to Evans, if these deficiencies were the result of an
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: intentional action, it would be a violation of federal law,
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: regardless of whether the failure to retain the records of
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: the deprivation of a fair tabulation of a vote was
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: outcome determinative for any particular election of race. In other words,
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: if you intended to do this, it's a crime, regardless
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: of whether it ultimately changed the outcome of the election. Maureen,
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: welcome to the program channeling You this morning.
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 11: Good to hear from you, Hi, Brian, Yes, I think so.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 11: But a Fulton County, George is just the tip of
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 11: the iceberg. They're going to go onto Arizona next, probably
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 11: the same same goal of finding this stuff out. Also,
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 11: Tulca Gabbert sent a team over to Puerto Rico to
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 11: investigate their complicity in what may be a connection to
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 11: Venezuela and the machines and our elections too, So that's
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 11: all going on at the same time. Also, Maui County
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 11: and Hawaii they have nineteen thousand ballots that said they
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 11: were mail in ballots. But in the post office you
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 11: have us to have a photograph of every single thing
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 11: that goes through the postal service, and they have no
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 11: evidence of that ever coming through the post office. Also
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 11: know they were mail in ballots.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: I did not know that went on at the post office, Maureene.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: They actually photographed the mail that comes through.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 11: Apparently in Hawaii they do Maui.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: Oh they do it here too, Joe said, Okay, they
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: learned something new every day on the fifty five Case
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: Morning Show.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 11: And it was also not have the folds that you
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 11: would normally have as something we're put in a mail,
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 11: So I think it's going to be. It's going to
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 11: be a lot of places that we're going to be
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 11: hearing about that are a lot like what's going on
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 11: in Georgia.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: Only took it took six years, Maureen, I know.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 11: But timing, timing is everything, and we'll find out why
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 11: the timing was the way it is later anyway. So
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 11: now I want to talk about the Zoro Okay, the
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 11: powerball call that you guy had your person called in
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 11: a little bit about. Okay, it wasn't It wasn't Epstein specifically,
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 11: but it was tied to a trust called trust. He
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 11: owns a ranch. He owns a ranch called Zoro Ranch,
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 11: which is also in Zoro Trust, So that is who
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 11: accepted this. And it's a ten thousand acre ranch in
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 11: the southeast of Santa Fe and it's where they think
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 11: that he was doing genetic testing, transhumanism, cryos cryogenics, and
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 11: different things like that. And he talked with scientists at
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 11: Harvard and MIT, and then he met with them and
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 11: he talked about and through donations, they met with him
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 11: because he gave a ton of money to them, and
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 11: he talked to the scientists there about how he wanted
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 11: to impregnanate and pregnate twenty women at a time. He
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 11: wanted to see them with his DNA to start what
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 11: he called a superior human race. So there's a lot
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 11: of rumors about Zoro Ranch. You might want to look
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 11: into that rumors, but a lot of it experientially, well
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 11: he is, you know me, Mari scientists about that.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: I know, I know, but I read, I read a
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: lot that never makes it onto the fifty five Serrey
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: Morning Charrosey Morning Show content because you know, sometimes it
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: sounds a little hard to believe. So I'm happy to
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: ultimately wait six years to get the truth that that's
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: how long it takes to get the real truth. I'll
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: wait for the truth, but I'd certainly appreciate you, Maureen.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: You've been right more times than wrong over the years,
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: which is why I always love having you on the show.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: Love you, my dear. Seven twenty six, don't go away.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: We'll hear from our power coming up after eighty five
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: Congress from Thomas Massey, followed by Judge Jennita poul Aitana
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: looking forward to that. I hope you are as well,
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: and I've been looking forward all more. Need to talk
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: in with Adam Miller from the Concerned Veterans for America.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: He's given some praise to Senator John Houston for some
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: work he's doing about improving access to benefits. Welcome to
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: the program, Adam. It's a real pleasure to have you on.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 12: Hey Brian, good morning. Thank you so much for having
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 12: me real quick for.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: You to dive into the rural Veterans Improved Access to
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: Benefits Act. Can you remind my listeners about what you
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: do at Concern Veterans for America, which my listeners can
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: find online at CV number four a dot org.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 12: Sure, so, Concern Veterans for America. We're an organization of veterans,
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 12: military families, and just patriotic citizens who are inspired and
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 12: determined to shape a better American future. So we believe
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 12: that veterans in their communities are a positive force for
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 12: good and can tackle a lot of the country's most
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 12: pressing challenges. So we try to amplify the veterans' voices
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 12: and encourage folks to get involved at the local, state,
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 12: and federal level.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: Applaud your efforts along those lines too. Anyone can do
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: here in the morning, should healthy American veteran We are
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: going to do and apparently Senator John Houston, you're praising
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: him on the way I saw that for introducing the
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: Rural Veterans Improved Access to Benefits Act. This is sort
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: of a corollary to what you had a CDA been
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: pushing for the Veterans Access Act. If I understand this correctly,
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: it's sort of a separate piece of legislation.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 12: Yeah, it's separate. And you know, the legislation that the
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 12: Senator introduced in the Senate, it deals with veterans benefits,
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 12: as the Veterans' Access Act deals with veterans the Veterans
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 12: Healthcare Administration. But you know, at the end of the day,
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 12: we believe that veterans deserved timely, reliable access to care
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 12: and benefits that they've earned, no matter where they live.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 12: And that's why we're so thankful for Senator Housted's legislation
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 12: because it cuts through that bureaucratic red tape, it expands
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 12: access to qualified providers, and it ensures that our veterans
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 12: are not left navigating delays or uncertainty. So again, you know,
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 12: we're just very appreciative of him his commitment to these
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 12: common sense reforms that at the end of the day,
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 12: put our veterans first.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, you know I think about this this phenomenon quite often.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: If you live in a highly dense populated city like Cincinnati,
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: for example, you're usually close to a lot of services.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: You know, there are a few blocks away, they're within
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: a short drive or whatever. The VA's right there, it's
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: close by. But you know what of my friends out
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: in very rural counties, and I always think of the
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: entire state of West Virginia. It's mostly rural and does
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: not have convenient access to a lot of the services
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: that folks need. So how does this Rural Veterans Improve
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: Access Benefits Act help folks like that out in the
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: world get the health care that they need.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 12: So this specific bill, it just it allows local providers
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 12: to provide those those medical examinations that our veterans need
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 12: to get their benefits. So it is similar to the Veterans'
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 12: Access Act in the sense that it allows them to
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 12: get care closer to home.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: So there's currently absentist legislation, there's an impediment to local
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: providers giving care to the veterans.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 12: So when we're talking about benefits, yeah, restriction.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: How will it work? I guess if it goes through
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: and everything passes, like you want, Adam Miller, how's it
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: going to make care easier? What's it going to change
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: that will give more veterans access to care?
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 12: So the specific build that the Senator John Houston sponsored
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 12: in the Senate, it expands the types of qualified medical
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 12: professions who can conduct these specific exams. So, for instance,
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 12: there was a veteran from Akron, Ohio that needed an
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 12: examination and he was sent by the Veterans Benefits Administration
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 12: to Pittsburgh to get that examination. So this will cut
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 12: down on drive times, it'll cut down on wait times. Ultimately,
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 12: it'll it'll make sure that our veterans are getting the
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 12: benefits that they've earned quicker, faster, and then in a
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 12: more reliable way.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, so there would be just a broader swath of
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: providers to provide the care. Is that a strange You
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: got to go to Pittsburgh for something that you know,
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: you think you can get locally. So are the qualifications?
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: Are the restrictions that are currently in place? Are they
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: designed in some way help the veteran? Like was there
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: concern that only certain people are really truly qualified? I
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: guess this seems like it's greasing the skids in a
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: positive way. But I'm wondering, well, could it be maybe
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: not at them.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 12: No, for this specific legislation, it really came down just
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 12: to kind of the bureaucratic red tape that the Massive
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 12: Veterans Administration has and then some of the policies that
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 12: they implement internally. And that's where organizations like Concerned Veterans
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 12: for America, you know, we advocate for some of these
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 12: common sense policy reforms and then we look to Congress
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 12: to enact them from from a watchdog perspective and just
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 12: making sure that we're streamlining the process. And again it
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 12: comes it really comes down to making sure that our
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 12: veterans have had more choices and greater access to these
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 12: examinations and the medical professionals that can provide them.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: All Right, well, it sounds like a reasonable idea. Would
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: you like for my listener's got a lot of veterans
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: and veteran families in the listening audience, some call to action,
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: you we'd like them to pursue Adam Miller from Concerned
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: Veterans from America.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 12: Yeah, so this legislation is important, but CBA has long
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 12: champion for expanding veterans healthcare choice, and that includes strong
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 12: support for the Veterans' Access Act.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 5: Like you had mentioned, it's a.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 12: Top priority for CBA. To give a little bit of background,
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 12: the VA Mission Act gave millions of veterans healthcare choices
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 12: through its community care program, but unfortunately, through VA wait
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 12: time manipulation, faulty scheduling guidance, and improper appointment cancelations, it
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 12: kept way too many veterans from accessing these important choices.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 12: So the Veterans' Access Act would codify those community care standards,
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 12: make them law. It's twenty twenty six. It'll create self
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 12: scheduling portals so veterans can can schedule their appointments. They
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 12: can connect with their care providers right there on an
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 12: app and then they can get appointment updates, reminders, they
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 12: can track refer roles and their appeal decisions if their
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 12: community care is not accepted. Another big positive aspect of
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 12: the Veterans Access Act is full choice pilot programs for
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 12: mental health and substance abuse. So this will allow veterans
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 12: three year pilot program offering them access to outpatient mental
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 12: health care substance use treatment through community care without prior
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 12: VA approval. So these are just some of the some
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 12: of the key aspects of the Veterans Access Act that
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 12: we're advocating for and we're promoting, and we're just so
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 12: excited that there's a lot of co sponsors here in
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 12: the great state of Ohio and we're just going to
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 12: try to continue to expand it.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: All right, wonderful. I guess I've been led to believe
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: talking to the my friends at the CINCINNIVA that a
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: lot of the things you just mentioned are already provided here.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: Do different VA hospitals have different levels of service, like,
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: for example, I know they offer mental health services even
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: telehealth through the Sincinntiva for my veteran friends. So it
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: sounds me like they've already taken a step in that
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: direction at least here locally. Or do I have that?
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: Am I misunderstanding that, Adam, that.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 12: We've seen a lot of positive changes under the new
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 12: administration with Secretary Collins at the VA, and you know,
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 12: I'll be honest, there's there's a lot of frustration out
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 12: there because veterans upheld their oath. So when we when
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 12: we were set overseas, you know, we carried the weight
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 12: of those decisions that are made by Washington when we
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 12: return home. So you know, our ultimate goal is to
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 12: make sure that that our veterans are receiving the care
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 12: and treatment that they see that best best fits their needs.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 12: And unfortunately, in a lot of veterans hospitals sometimes that
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 12: that care is not provided adequately. And and that's fine,
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 12: and there's a lot of veterans that that enjoy their
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 12: VA benefits, but they.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: Should have that choice, definitely, So Veterans Access Act and
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: of course the Rural Veterans Improved Access to Benefits Act,
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: which John Houston is behind. I guess you want my
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: listeners to go to CV number four a dot org
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: to get more information, Adam, or is there another place
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: they can go in terms of like reaching out and
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: helping get this legislation passed.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I would courage them to go to our website
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 12: TV there before a dot org, follow us on Facebook, x, Instagram, LinkedIn,
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 12: and you know, I'll just again say this, if you
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 12: love this country, if you believe in the American dream,
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 12: if you if you want your voice to be heard,
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 12: you know, march beside Concerned Veterans for America and really
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 12: see what we can do to help elevate the veterans voices,
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 12: veterans perspectives, and continue serving our communities here at home.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: Adam Miller, want to thank you for your service to
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: our country and you continued service with the Veterans for America.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: Concerned Veterans for America recommend my listeners get on over
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: there and help out themselves CD number four A dot Org. Adam,
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: been a pleasure talking with you and appreciate your at
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: least given Senator Houston some praise for doing something right
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: for the American veterans.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 12: Thank you, Brian.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: Have a great day you tube seven forty right now.
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: If you have KRCD talk station four, see the talk
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: station seven forty eight if if you have KRCD talkstation,
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday. Congressman Thomas Massey over the top of Dark News,
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: the shame we don't have anything to talk about with
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: Congressman Massy already talk about another continuing about Department of
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: Homeland Security funding and Democrats are saying no, they used
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: up all their time and they really haven't done any negotiations.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: It's still holding out for their ten demands and so
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: far as ICE procedures are concerned, and the Republicans are
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: still saying, listen, how about no, you're going to completely
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: eviscerate ICE's ability to enforce a federal law. And that's
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: exactly what they're endeavoring to do. So we'll see what
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: congressrom mess he may say on that one. But first
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: I guess no, nothing to see here. It was all
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: the rage to screaming yell about us blowing up narco
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: terrorist boats. We did it again. United States Southern Command
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: announced earlier this week another lethal kinetics strike on drug
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: vacraft trafficking vessels. Two narco terrorists killed. One of them
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: actually survived. They sent the coast guard out to pick
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: him up. So in total, it looks like thirty eight
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: total strikes against drug trafficking vehicles in the Caribbean taking
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: place since the start of the operation last September, one
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: hundred twenty one drug traffickers killed. I'm assuming you take
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: everybody's word on it, but they are in fact drug traffickers,
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: So maybe the guy they picked up out of the
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: water can verify that one way or another. And the
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: other thing. I thought this was rather interesting, and I
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: will just defer to James Hickman and his analysis over
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: at schiftsovereign dot Com. I thought this was funny, though
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: we're in the middle of this MAHA movement, Robert F.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: Kennedy Junior and his having some really great success curbing
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: SNAP benefits. Apparently he got eighteen states to band Snap
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: purchases of terrible food, soda, candy, processed snacks, and on
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: the wake of that, PepsiCo announced price cuts of fifteen
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: percent up to fifteen percent on Doritos, Lays, Tostitos, and
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: other free too lay products. Now, the CEO said he
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: cited low income consumers switching to store brands because well
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: affordability and if you have seen the price of chips,
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: they have gone up through the roof, and we just
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: chose some time ago never to buy him anymore anyway.
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: SNAP the Supplement of Nutrition Assistance Program one hundred billion
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: a year program, forty two million Americans being served by it.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: USDA's own data says about twenty cents of every SNAP
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: dollar goes to sweetened beverages, candy, salty snacks, and sugar
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 1: soft drinks, the largest category of SNAP purchases with zero
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: nutritional value and terrible for you because of all the
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 1: sugar they have in them. So until last week, Freedo
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: lay's Pepsi division three at freeo lay seven point two
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: percent of all shopping trips paid for with Snap. Free
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: Do lay seven point two percent. So apparently, at least
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: according to the analysis by James Hickman, when the government
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: stopped subsidizing demand for the products Pepsi well competed, they
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: lowered the price make it a little more palatable for
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: someone who can't get it paid for on Snap dollars
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: to go ahead and buy the chips anyway. So this
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: is what the free market does. Said, well, this is
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 1: just one company, one product line, said, you know, one
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: government program said, zoom out. You can see just how
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: much price inflation our daily lives is because of direct
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: government spending. When a guaranteed buyer shows up with a
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: bottomless wallid, prices go up. He cited the Higher Education
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: Act from nineteen sixty five. Tuition has risen roughly three
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: times faster than inflation. A year at a private university
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: that costs twenty eight hundred dollars in nineteen sixty three
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: is now eighty five thousand dollars. New York Federal Reserve
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: studied this directly found that for every dollar increase in
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: subsidized student loans, tuition rose by up to sixty cents.
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: So he points out that when government guarantees the tuition money,
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: universities raise prices because they can. Healthcare's described as worse
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: Medicare Medicaid created in nineteen sixty five, back when governments
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: share of healthcare spending was thirty one percent. Today government
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: shared now sixty four percent. Medicaid spending a loan grown
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: from thirteen billion and seventy five to nine hundred billion
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 1: dollars today, At the same time, healthcare prices have gone
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: through the roof over the same period. US now spends
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 1: nearly five trillion a year on healthcare, far more per
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 1: capita than any other developed country. Federal spending has risen
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: about eighteen percent of GDP in nineteen nineties to twenty
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 1: four percent today, meaning almost This is the scary thing.
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: Almost a quarter of the entire American economy is government money.
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: And I've mentioned this before, I've couched it in terms
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: of mister Smith goes to Washington. You got all these
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: wide eyed optimists that get elected. I'm gonna reform, I'm
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: gonna reform, I'm gonna go to Washington, and I'm gonna
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: form I'm gonna crack down a fraud, waste and abuse.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 1: And then you go up there and I have this
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: image they take in the back of a room and
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: they close the door and then they reveal the truth
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: to you and they laugh. Haha, you're so naive. We
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: are creating fake work here in government. If we didn't
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: mandate and edict and regulate the living hell out of everybody,
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: we wouldn't have an entire workforce dedicated to yes, complying
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: with the regulations, the edicts and mandates from federal government. Hell,
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: we created entire industries based upon rules and regulations. The
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: Green Agenda, for example, it didn't exist one minute we
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: convinced everybody that they were killing the planet by breathing.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: The next minute, we've got cottage industries created whole cloth
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: out of regulations brought to you by the federal government,
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: regulations that ultimately, in the final analysis, are pointless. I'm
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: not going to say the globe entire industries have been
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: built around NGOs. We learned this from Minnesota.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 5: Hmmm.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: Fund an NGO. You have funded all of the people
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: who work for the NGO, and then money goes out
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: through the NGO into the world, and yes that money
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: is ultimately spent local communities built on welfare money. Again,
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: going back to Minnesota, it's the sad reality of this,
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: but this manipulation where you guarantee a purchaser because federal
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: dollars are flowing to your work, your taxpayer dollars going
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: to an individual who we didn't otherwise have the money.
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: They've got the money. Yes, someone will be there to
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: take the money from them, with zero incentive to keep
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: the prices down none whatsoever. But in the broad analysis,
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that they're cutting back on well us paying
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: for garbage that has zero nutritional value, and maybe we
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: can turn the bent on a health crisis we've got
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: here going on in America. Seven to fifty five right now,
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: fifty five kr CD talk station Congressman Thomas Massey after
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: the top of the UR News, followed by Jude Jenninapolitano.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: I sure hope you can stick around today's tough headlines
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: gutting eight oh five. Here a fifty five kr CD
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: talk station friend Thomas wishing every one a very happy
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 1: Wednesday and always extra spence, so'll happy smile my face
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: to welcome back to the phitybout Kerse Morning Show. Congressman
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 1: Thomas Massey, Congress and Massy. Great having you back on
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: the show, my friend, welcome.
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 5: Oh, good to be on.
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: It's a shame we don't anything talk about.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's uh, I'm glad I'm talking to you
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 5: because I don't have a busy day. It's not like
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 5: we have Pam Bondi in the Judiciary Committee all day today.
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: Oh that is true. Maybe we'll get to that, but
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: let's first talk about widely circulated on social media. Your
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: situation went down to the Oldham kind of Republican Party
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: Lincoln Day dinner where you had your microphone taken away.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 1: Congresson Massei, my understanding is you're merely trying to defend
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: your wife against an outright fake attack by Donald Trump.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 1: What is this all about, sir?
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 5: Well, when they snatched my mic I'm calling it snatchgate,
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 5: and we were actually raised sixty thousand dollars off of Snatchgate.
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 5: People were so aghast that they would grab my microphone
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 5: off the podium while I was speaking. You know, there's
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 5: the story and then there's the backstory. The story is
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 5: I ran a little bit over time. It's true. But
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 5: you know, I'm the congressman for the district, and I
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 5: thought they wanted a little bit of legislative update. They
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 5: gave me five minutes. I took eight, and they said
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 5: that's it. Dab the mic and I was defending my wife.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 5: Donald Trump's attacked her twice on social media. I think
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 5: it's beyond the pale. But you know, normally I don't
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 5: respond to something sort of inappropriate that the president does.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 5: The thing is, my opponent in my election reposted Donald
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 5: Trump's post. So now he's bringing this back to Kentucky,
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 5: and the question for him is does he support people
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 5: attacking spouses and elections In any case, I think the
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 5: backstory here is that we have liberty candidates in the
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 5: state legislature that I helped get elected, and they've kept
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 5: their word. The Speaker of the House in Kentucky was
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 5: a little bit upset that he lost four chairmen of
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 5: committees in Kentucky's fourth district alone in primaries. Republicans went
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 5: down to liberty Republicans, and so I think that animosity
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 5: is what spurred him to grab my microphone. Because the
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 5: MC was in fact to Speaker of the House of
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 5: Kentucky State Legislature.
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: Well, okay, I understand time limits, but I think your
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 1: point is well taken. You're the elected official, and you
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: did have things to say about what's going on in
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 1: the world, and you are entitled to defend your wife.
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: And honestly, I don't know how the bar has been
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: lowered so much President of the United States of America
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 1: going after your wife. Your wife's not running for office, sir.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: And he didn't describe her in any way, shape or
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 1: form that was accurate.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 5: No, he called her a flaming lefty liberal, which is hilarious.
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 5: When Donald Trump was given to Hillary Clinton and when
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 5: my opponent giving to Lindsay Graham, my wife was working
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 5: for Ron Paul rand Paul campaign for Liberty National Right
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 5: to Work. She's in the right wing conspiracy. She's the
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 5: furthest thing you can get from a lefty liberal.
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's my understanding as well. Pivving over to the
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 1: comment you made earlier on about what's going on today
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: with Pam Bonnie, can you enlighten my listeners about what
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 1: that is all about?
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 5: Congressome MESSI, Well, this is very important hearing today. Normally,
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 5: the Attorney General comes once a year to the Judiciary
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 5: Committee that I serve on and regardless of whether they
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 5: want to or not. But it's been well over a
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 5: year and we haven't seen Pam Bondy. Now that's partially
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 5: due to a shutdown that happened last fall. She was
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 5: scheduled to come in and speak to us last fall.
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 5: But today I expect there's going to be some fireworks
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 5: because this is going to be in the context of
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 5: a lot of things going on. For instance, I know
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 5: immigration issues which fall partly under the Attorney General, and
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 5: then also a little bill called the Epstein Files Transparency
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 5: Act that I got past that has caused the release
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 5: of millions of files, but also inappropriate reactions which I
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 5: discovered on earthed and got some of them corrected this
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 5: week by the Deputy Attorney General. We can talk about
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 5: that too. Yeah, So I'll have some questions for the
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 5: Attorney General. Each of us gets five minutes to question her,
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 5: and if I have any voice left, which you can
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 5: tell is yeah, I'm about to lose it this week.
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 5: If I have any voice left, I'll be asking some
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 5: very pointed questions.
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 1: Well and legitimately, so those reactions were limited in scope.
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 1: My understanding was the only reactions were to prevent victims
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: from being having their names revealed. But it shouldn't redact
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: like you know, members of government or whoever else is
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 1: in the documents, or am I misremembering what I've read about.
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 5: That, No, you're correct. And so they released approximately three
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 5: million documents. They took a lot of them back down
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 5: and have them put them back up, and then they
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 5: allowed US members of Congress to go to the DOJ
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 5: and look at unredacted documents literally sitting there on a computer.
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 5: You can click a button and the redactions disappear. What
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 5: I discovered is that they had reacted an FBI file
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 5: that lists co conspirators. They're labeled as co conspirators in
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 5: twenty nineteen by the FBI in a child sex trafficking
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 5: case against Jeffrey Epstein. And you know, some of them
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 5: are women, and you might say, okay, well, there may
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 5: be a fuzzy line between victim and co conspirator if
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 5: it's a woman. But one of them was a billionaire
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 5: CEO that I recognized from the news. And I went
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 5: out of this area where you can view these files,
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 5: and I said, they need to release this name. They're
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 5: not allowed to redact co conspirators, and within a few
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 5: hours the DOJ complied and we found out it's less Wexner,
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 5: who was the former CEO of Victoria's Secret and he
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 5: had a lot of business dealings with Jeffrey Epstein. And
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 5: so one of the questions I have is what was
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 5: the decision process for not bringing charges against less Wexner
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 5: if he was listed as a co conspirator by the
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 5: FBI in twenty nineteen when Jeffrey Epstein died or disappeared,
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 5: whatever you think happened to Jeffrey Epstein. I did a
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 5: poll online. Only three percent of the over one hundred
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 5: thousand people who responded thinks that Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide.
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 5: But that's a different different it is. The main thing
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 5: here is we had Cash tell in front of our committee,
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 5: Judiciary Committee, and he testified in the Senate to Senator
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 5: Kennedy that there was no evidence that Jeffrey Epstein did
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 5: any sex trafficking of minors, and then he came over
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 5: the House and told me the same thing in hearing.
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 5: So the question is did he perjure himself, because here
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 5: we've got a document that says they glued to a
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 5: co conspirators.
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: Wow, have you come up with any any explanation for
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 1: the subterfuge which seems to be going on in connection
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 1: with documents? I mean, you've got millions of documents. Obviously
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 1: there are others that have inappropriate reactions in them along
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 1: the lines of what you were just saying. I mean,
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 1: for you to have to go into that private room
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: and unredact them and look at them for one individual
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 1: congressman who actually cares about the truth, that's going to
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 1: take you a while, isn't it, Congressman Massey.
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there's millions of documents. I've I spent two hours.
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 5: I looked at forty documents. I found three of them
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 5: were inappropriately redacted. I went public with it, and with hours,
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 5: within hours, the FBI acknowledged what I had found and
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 5: also publicly admitted or unredacted what was in this file. So,
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 5: for instance, there's an email in the Epstein files where
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 5: Epstein says, thanks for the torture video. I really enjoyed it. Well,
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 5: the question is who sent that because the FBI or
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 5: dj had redacted the email address. Because they're here's there,
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 5: they're making the defense that they by law they have
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 5: to redact personally identifiable information. Well, there's nothing in our
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 5: law that says redact personally identical information of people who
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 5: send Jeffrey Epstein torture porn, and our law says for victims. Well,
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 5: this clearly wasn't a victim. So I unredacted the email address.
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 5: I looked at it. I didn't recognize it immediately, but
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 5: I threw back into the DOJ computer and search the
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 5: Epstein posse for that email address, and it shows up
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 5: dozens and dozens of times, and it belongs to a
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 5: billionaire in the United Arab Emirates who's first name is Sultan.
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 5: I don't know if that's an idol first name, but
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 5: so I released that name too. So now we know
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 5: who sent the torture video to Epstein.
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 1: But you mentioned the law, this isn't There's an underlying
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 1: law that was passed by bipartisan port to support overwhelmingly,
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 1: which obligated to produce these documents unredacted, with certain notable exceptions.
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 1: They have not complied with the law. What recourse is
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 1: there other than two individually identify erroneously redacted documents one
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 1: at a time and have them unredact them Congressom Massey.
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 5: Before we get through the recourse, we'll talk about the
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 5: other ways they're violating the law. So sometimes on the
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 5: computer I would hit unredact and the big black reaction
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 5: that redacts the whole page. We go away and there
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 5: would be a page that's ninety percent redacted with white
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 5: boxes instead of black boxes sub reaction, or sometimes you
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 5: hit unredact and none of the redactions come off. And
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 5: we asked the DOJ, why are these files? Why can't
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 5: we unredact them. They're like, well, this is the condition
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 5: in which we receive the files. Well, the thing is,
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 5: in other words, they received redacted files. But here's the problem.
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 5: The law that Rokanna and I wrote says that the FBI,
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 5: the US Attorneys, and the DOJ have to produce these documents,
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 5: and the DOJ, specifically the Attorney General is responsible for
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 5: publishing them publishing them. So if the Attorney General got
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 5: this material from the FBI or the US Attorneys already redacted,
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 5: then the FBI and the US Attorneys are not complying
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 5: with the law. She needs to go back and get those.
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 5: And finally, there's still documents we know exist. Some of
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 5: the three or two forms, which are the forms that
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 5: the FBI fills out after the interview victims. Some of
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 5: those are still missing, so they've got a lot more
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 5: work to do. What is the recourse well, and to
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 5: ask Pam Bondi some questions today and the hearing, and
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna find out.
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you will. Congressman Thomas Messi will take a
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 1: quick break here will continue more on Epstein files. Trump
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 1: apparently calling you the talk station eight nineteen couple of
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 1: the twenty fifty five Kercite talk station Judge Ednapollatan a
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 1: huge fan of my current guest, Congressman Thomas Messi. He'll
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 1: be on next and meantime, sticking with the Epstein files.
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 1: Generally speaking, Congressman Messy, notwithstanding the challenges you were obviously facing,
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 1: hopefully those will go the way of the DODO and
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 1: we'll get to see everything we're supposed to see based
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 1: upon the current state of the law. Is there anything
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 1: in there that really blew your mind? I mean something
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 1: that you have seen that my listening audience might be
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 1: curious about. A lot of rumors and swirling about. I
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 1: know he bought, you know, hydrochloric acid, and I don't
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 1: know what to make about that, but anything in there
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 1: that with substance that like, Okay, here's what we were thinking,
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 1: or this confirms what we're thinking, or maybe just the
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 1: absence of any prosecutions that came about with that's obviously
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 1: a takeaway we can have from what actually happened out
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 1: in the World Congress from Massey.
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 5: Well, first of all, if you're watching Fox News, this
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 5: isn't even happening, Like the mainstream conservative media is totally
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 5: ignoring this. You've got to go on Facebook, or you've
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 5: got to go on x or Instagram to even see
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 5: anything halfway truthful about what's going down with the Epstein files.
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 5: Three members of government in Great Britain are now no
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 5: longer in government, the things willing to prosecute his brother now,
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 5: the princess in Norway is probably no longer eligible to
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 5: be a queen. And in the United States there's still
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 5: been zero, zero accountability or repercussions for what's come out.
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 5: And one of the biggest things we've learned in there
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 5: is that Howard Lutnik is a straight up liar. He
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 5: went and said just a few months ago that he
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 5: met Epstein in two thousand and five, who was disgusted
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 5: by him, thought he was a pervert and said he
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 5: would have nothing to do with him ever again, and
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 5: never did. But what we found out in the files
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 5: is Epstein took his family on vacation to I'm sorry,
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 5: Lutnick took his family on vacation to Epstein's island and
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 5: saw and had lunch with Jeffrey Epstein and his kids
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 5: and his nanny and his wife. And if that's not enough,
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 5: they were in business together, they shared phone calls together.
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 5: And so now yesterday in front of the Senate hearing, Lutnick,
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 5: by the way, Howard Lutnik is your commerce secretary. He's
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 5: a billionaire who associated with Epstein but lied to us
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 5: until his files came out, and said that he didn't
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 5: you see him in the videos standing behind Trump, he's
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 5: getting on the plane, when he's getting on the helicopter. Anyways,
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 5: I think Latinik should resign. I don't trust him. If
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 5: he's gonna lie about the Epstein stuff so blatantly and
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 5: then get caught for it, he should resign. He doesn't
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 5: have our confidence. And he was called out in the
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 5: Senate hearing yesterday where he admitted that he had been
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 5: to Epstein's island, but only he said when the files
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 5: came out, I did what everybody else did. I put
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 5: my name in there and searched for it. And I
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 5: don't remember anything that's not in those files. In other words,
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 5: nothing he could get caught for. Will he admit to
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 5: unless he can get caught for it.
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 1: Well, I mentioned the subter views earlier. Is it just
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 1: this simple quantity of very powerful people around this planet
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 1: that had all these tight close ties with Epstein? Was
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 1: it the fear of all the dominoes falling? As I've
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 1: been referring it to. You mentioned that, you know, the
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 1: foreign leaders have lost their positions, been fired or being
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 1: pressured to leave because of the ties with Epstein. I mean,
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 1: part of me wants to know how on the hell
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 1: all of these powerful people got connected with Epstein, unless,
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 1: of course, it involves child molestation. But uh, I'm just
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 1: looking for a reason why we've gone so long without
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 1: seeing these documents before Congress with Messy.
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 5: Because these are the most powerful people on the planet.
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 5: They're they're not only billionaires, they're in government, you know,
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 5: they're in movies. They're they're very powerful people, and they
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 5: have a lot of influence, and I say this is
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 5: bigger than Watergate and bigger than Iron Contra. Because this scandal,
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 5: we've just scratched the top of it, and it spans
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 5: four administrations and even more attorneys general over the past
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 5: couple of decades. It's a big scandal. And anybody who
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 5: says it's no big deal is those are people you
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 5: should not trust.
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 1: Well, fair, fair enough, and thankfully Congressman asks who we
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 1: have you to get to the bottom of it may
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 1: take a while, but I know you will. You've been
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 1: on this on this track for a long time. Real
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 1: quick here before we part company. The tariff vote, I
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 1: guess members of Congress maybe trying to undo Donald Trump's tariffs.
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 1: I know you made what some are characterizing as a
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 1: controversial vote, but considering the procedural situation, it seemed like
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 1: I understand where you were coming from. Are you against
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 1: the tariffs that Donald Trumps has imposed or was this
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 1: something to do with the procedural posture of that piece
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 1: of legislation.
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 5: Well, let me said a few things straight. If we
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 5: could go back to the way it was the first
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 5: one hundred and fifty years of this country and get
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 5: rid of the income tax and replace it with tariffs.
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 5: I would be seriously interested in that option. Okay, but
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 5: what we have now is we have tariffs and we
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 5: have an income tax. And there's a couple other problems.
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 5: Because the tariffs can change any day, depending on what
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 5: side of the bed the president gets up on. They
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 5: don't really have the incentives that you think they would like.
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 5: Factories are not importing new tooling to make things in
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 5: the United States instead of overseas because number one, the
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 5: tariffs apply to the new tooling they bring in, and
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 5: number two, they might pay a fifty percent tariff on
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 5: us let's say a stamping machine that makes venders for cars,
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 5: and then the tariff goes away tomorrow and it doesn't
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 5: make business sense anymore so. And then finally, the Constitution
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 5: is very clear on this. All taxes have to originate
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 5: not just in Congress, but in the House of Representatives.
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 5: And you know, you may be sitting there and thinking, oh,
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 5: these are tariffs. They're not taxes. We have an income tax,
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 5: and then these are tariffs. They're a totally different thing.
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 5: It's the wrong way of thinking about this because for
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 5: the first one hundred and fifty years of our country,
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 5: over ninety percent of our taxes were from tariffs. Like
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 5: when the Founder said that the House of Senatives is
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 5: the one that has to decide whether we have taxes
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 5: or not, they were talking about tariffs, and that was
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 5: known for the first one hundred and fifty years. So
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 5: in the nineteen seventy six it passed a law that
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 5: says the president can declare emergency, but when he does,
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 5: Congress within fifteen days can undo the emergency. Well, in
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 5: order to implement some of these TIFFs, the president declared emergencies,
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 5: maybe a fentanyl emergency, but then he ends up taxing
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 5: farm products because there's a fentanyl emergency. And the Supreme
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 5: Court's going to rule on this soon enough, I think.
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 5: But in the meantime, yesterday you have the Speaker of
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 5: the House trying to pass a resolution that said a
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 5: day is not a day for the purposes of the
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 5: fifteen day clock in the nineteen seventy six law. It's
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 5: totally bogus way of not voting on tariffs by subverting
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 5: the law and transparency. What whatever you believe about tariffs,
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 5: I would hope if you've read the Constitution, you know
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 5: that we have to vote on these things. You can't
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 5: have a president turn a tax on one day and
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 5: turn it off the next.
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 1: Congress Thom Thomas Messi, you stumbled upon judging and a
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 1: politana's topic of conversation, the coming constitutional ice age. I
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 1: think you'd probably share your concerns about tarifs, Congressome Messi.
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 1: He still believes in the Constitution as you do, and
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 1: I can't thank you enough for the what you do.
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: Congressom Messy, keep fighting the good fight, and I wish
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 1: you all the best, keeping your voice for the rest
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 1: of the day. You're gonna need it, my friend, thank
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 1: you and give my judge the best. I will be
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 1: more than happy to do that. You know, he's a
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 1: huge fan of yours. At think twenty eight right now,
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 1: and you went over your allotted times. Streuker told me
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 1: to tell you that Congress fan Massy I didn't pull
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 1: your mic, Judge. The Polatana's next fifty five car, the
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 1: talk station, the.
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 5: Simply Money Manute, is sponsoredble bo Is over.
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 13: Go to our next guest blog for political commentary predictions
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 13: for all thirty two Major League Baseball teams and his
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 13: mock NFL draft. Bengals are going to take safety. You've
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 13: heard it here first, the judgees next Chuck Ingram on
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 13: fifty five KRC, thet Talk station.
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 1: Six thirty one, fifty five KRS DE talk station. Of course,
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 1: he's referring to Judge entered Apoloitano. Every morning Wednesday at
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 1: eight to thirty, we get to hear from the judge
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 1: and a constitutional protector. He is welcome back, you're honor.
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 1: It's always a pleasure to have me on the fifty
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 1: five KRC morning show. He's tapping me. He can't hear us. Joe,
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 1: all right, he's gonna have to call. Oh, hell's bells.
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 1: How is it? That's always ends up happening. So Judge
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 1: or Joe, you want to get him on the phone,
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 1: please as soon as possible, and we'll see if we
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 1: can't work this out. It's always troubling when this happens.
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 1: I definitely was going to ask him about the terrorf situation,
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 1: because of course that's a constitutional issue as framed by
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 1: Congressman Massey. But we also have this whole idea of
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 1: administ warrants versus judicial warrants, and he's talked about that before.
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 1: In connection with the demands that the Democrats are seeking
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 1: to get the government reopened. They want judicial warrants only,
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 1: and the judges comment about that many times before, So
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 1: we're gonna hear a little bit about that. In context
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 1: of his column tonight, the Coming Constitutional ice Age, judge Edapoltanic,
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 1: can you hear me?
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 2: Now? Yeah, they hear you and that, Brian, and I
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 2: see you. I see you through the wizardry of the
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 2: digital system, but I hear it through an old fashioned son.
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 1: Well, it is crazy. I don't know how we always
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 1: stumble into these problems, but we'll blame the gremlins and
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 1: my conspiracy theory. Audience are probably suggesting maybe some left
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 1: wingers out there, or people who don't like Congressman Thomas
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 1: Massy or you and your positions on the Constitution are
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 1: sabotaging the segment. Anyway, your column tonight comes out at midnight,
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 1: the coming Constitutional ice Age. Congress a messy kind of
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 1: stumbled upon this in the context of a question. I
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 1: asked him about his vote on tariffs, and he said, well,
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 1: the Constitution very clear, tariffs are the power of Congress,
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 1: not for the president. You to latterly wage, and he
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 1: is not in favor of Donald Trump's tariffs. Have you
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 1: and I talked about this before. I don't recall that
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 1: this subject matter has come up, and I apologize if
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 1: it has your honor, But your position relative the tariffs,
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 1: which the Supreme Court's got a case in front of
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 1: it right now.
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 2: I wish the Supreme Court would rule. We keep hearing
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 2: rumors that there are colossal battles going on in the
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 2: Supreme Court over this. Congressman Massey is one hundred percent correct.
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 2: A tariff is a tax. It's a sales tax, and
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 2: co only Congress can impose taxes. It's the very first
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 2: authority given to the Congress in the Constitution. The President
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 2: can't impose them on his own. Presidents have imposed tariffs,
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 2: but only when Congress has expressly authorized them to do so.
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 2: Congress has never authorized President Trump to impose tariffs. In fact,
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 2: the statute on which he really lives doesn't even mention tariff.
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 2: The President's argument is that tariffs are an instrument of
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 2: foreign policy, and foreign policy is exclusively an executive function.
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 2: But the sounder argument is the Congressman Massy argument, the
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 2: one that was held up by the Trout Court and
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 2: the Appellate Court, and the one that I think of
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 2: the Supreme Court will hold up as well. But as
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 2: I said, we're still waiting for a ruling to come down.
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 1: Well, I guess the way I see it, having worked
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 1: with at least Trump and his actions on tariffs, he
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 1: imposes our love's of tariff for threatens one and uses
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 1: that threat as a vehicle to negotiate some foreign policy
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 1: agreement with a foreign nation. So it became the motivating
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 1: factor for some foreign land to engage in a foreign
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 1: policy discussion. But you're saying that that's like an original sin.
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 1: You can't do it in the first place, Therefore it
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 1: doesn't act as a valid threat to the foreign country.
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 2: Well, yes, yes, nicely putting. Of course, he's also done
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 2: it very petty and personal reasons. When the governor general
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 2: or Prime minister I'm not sure what his title is
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 2: of Quebec ran a television ad of Ronald Reagan lasting tariffs.
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 2: Trump got so angry that he raised tariffs on Canada.
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, this type of presidential mercurial personal behavior with
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 2: respect to the taxes that people paid. These taxes are
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 2: paid by Americans was never contemplated or authorized anywhere in
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 2: the Constitution or in Supreme Court jurisprudence. This isn't even
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 2: a close call in my view, nor was it a
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 2: close call at the trial court. Tralcourt in this case
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 2: is not a jury, it's a panel of three judges.
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 2: Then there's the appellate panel. The trail court was unanimous
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 2: against it. The appellate panel was seven to four against it.
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 2: Now it's been before the Supreme Court since September. Here
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 2: we are in February, and we don't have a ruling yet.
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 1: Fair enough, Pivoting over to constitutional issue number two, declarations
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 1: of war, we seem to be all ready to I mean,
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 1: we're going to massed a massive force to deal with Iran. Obviously,
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump is endeavoring to get some concessions from Iran
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 1: regard to their missile plans that they don't want to.
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 1: They say they won't concede an inch on missiles. So
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 1: we seem to be the stalemate with Iran. But the
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 1: implicit threat behind all this is the massive armada of
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 1: US military hard where that's floating around very close, and
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 1: the veiled threat that Donald Trump's gonna unleash what seems
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 1: to me to be an actual outright declaration of war
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 1: talking about regime change, unlike perhaps a contrast, some may
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 1: make like a single military strike on nuclear facilities to
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 1: maybe rid the world of an impending nuclear threat. But
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 1: this is sounds to me like literally all out war,
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 1: which I would argue, and I think you may feel
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 1: the same way. We'll find out that Congress needs to
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 1: be involved.
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 2: Could not be clearer. The president wages the wars that
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 2: Congress declares he can't invade another country in tending to
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 2: bring about regime change, to change the government effectively. That's
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 2: why we fought the Nazis, not to kill the German people,
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 2: but to change the government. You can't do these things
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 2: under the Constitution without a declaration of war from Congress.
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 2: He couldn't care less. Look as we speak, he may
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 2: be getting ready to bomb Mexico. Now I'm not exaggerating.
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 2: The FAA just ordered all aircraft away from the El
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 2: Paso region because of an impending emergency. Now, what the
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 2: heck could that be other than maybe drun strikes on
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 2: cartels in Mexico. That's called an invasion. It Congress authorized that,
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 2: of course.
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 1: Not And constitutional issue number three, the subject Maney of
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 1: your column becoming conscitutional ice age back to the concept
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 1: of administrative warrants versus judicial warrants. You're on record previously
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 1: judicial warrants are obligated under these circumstances. Administrative warrants are
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 1: a sort of whole cloth creation, the idea that a
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 1: federal agent can authorize the entry into someone's about or
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 1: building absent a judicial review with probable causes required by
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 1: the Constitution. Something in your article, though, I wanted you
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 1: explain to my listeners because I know they're going to
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 1: read it. You start a paragraph eight or nine, Entering
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 1: the United States illegally is a federal crime. Next paragraph,
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 1: entering the US illegally and remaining here beyond the time
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 1: limits imposed at the time of entry is not a crime.
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 1: Can you explain the distinction between those two if you
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 1: don't mind, sir.
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 2: Well, Congress has not characterized overstaying your permit as a crime.
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 2: That's a civil wrong. Therefore, no judge would sign and
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 2: arrest warrant for anybody, which is where they've created this
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 2: administrative warrant nonsense, so that they can.
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 5: Arrest these people.
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 2: So somebody comes here on a student visa, they finish graduating,
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 2: they don't return the visas expired, They get married, they
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 2: have children, they have a job, they have grandchildren, they've
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 2: been here for thirty years, they pay taxes, they have
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 2: a Social Security number, they don't vote, and not an
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 2: American citizen. Their spouse is, their children are their grandchildren are?
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 2: Can they be arrested? No, but I will arrest them anyway.
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 2: They can't be arrested because no judge would sign an
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 2: arrest warrant because that is not a crime. The crime
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 2: is the illegal entry they entered legally. Overstaying your legal
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 2: entry is a civil wrong, like failing to shovel your
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 2: sidewalk or paying your taxes too late. These things are wrong,
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 2: but they're not criminal. Therefore they can't be the basis
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 2: for an arrest. Therefore, ICE has made up its own
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 2: rules so that it can arrest these people. It's rules
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 2: in utter contravention of the clear language of the Constitution.
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 2: Until yesterday, actually until Friday, this was all ICE nonsense.
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 2: On Friday, at United States Court of Appeals ratified it.
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 2: That's two judges sitting on the fifteen judge Court of
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 2: Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. I would imagine I know
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 2: that this will be appealed. I don't know what the
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 2: Supreme Court will do.
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 1: With it, probably an on bank review first before it
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 1: goes up to the Supreme Court.
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 5: I will this is the most conservative court in the Union,
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 5: but I mean one of these, some of these the
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 5: conservative judges of a libertarian or a constitutionalist strain in them,
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 5: even though they've been appointed by Donald Trump. And I've
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 5: not gone along with this nonsense to the extent that
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 5: this will tee up the concept of administrative varnce for
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 5: the Supreme Court finally to rule on that's a good thing.
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 5: But to the extent they might be ratified, it would
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 5: utterly fly in the face of the Fourth Amendment.
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 1: Excuse me. Judging of Paulton will always appreciate your stage
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 1: wisdom and well your commitment to the Constitution the United
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 1: States of America. Who's on the program today, Judging Freedom?
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 1: Judging of Poulton is podcast which I'll encourage my listeners
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 1: to check out as well.
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 2: I have two of my superstars, Scott Ritter and Professor
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 2: Jeffrey Sachs. How soon will Trump do what Benjamin Etsigna
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 2: who has come here to ask him to do, which
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 2: is to invade Iran for the benefit of the expansion
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 2: of Israel's borders, Because Iran poses no national security threat
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 2: to the United States. That's the other reason corongressy won't
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 2: get the declaration of war from Congress.
• 2:08:53
  Speaker 1: That is true certainly about that, and that's I guess
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 1: that's really the key component here. They may be a threat,
• 2:08:59
  Speaker 1: imminent threat, xistential threat to Israel, but Iran is not
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 1: an existential threat or eminent threat to the United States
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 1: of America, which is to the point, and it's well
