Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: 7.06 at 55KRC Talk Station. Brian Thomas here, wishing everyone
- 0:06Speaker 1: a very happy Tuesday. And welcome you back to the
- 0:09Speaker 1: 55KRC Morning Show. Dr. Jay Rissover, who is a co-managing
- 0:14Speaker 1: board member of Empower You America, which is online at empoweryouamerica.org.
- 0:18Speaker 1: Of course, Dan Reginald started the whole thing years and
- 0:20Speaker 1: years ago. And in fact, he's going to be helping
- 0:23Speaker 1: out with the class tonight. Welcome back, Dr.
- 0:26Speaker 2: Jay.
- 0:26Speaker 1: It's always a pleasure to have you on the program.
- 0:30Speaker 2: My pleasure to be here. And, uh, just, uh, it's
- 0:34Speaker 2: only been a week since we've spoken, but somehow it
- 0:36Speaker 2: feels like a lifetime already.
- 0:37Speaker 1: It sure does. Oh my Lord. Yeah. Well, we were
- 0:40Speaker 1: hoping last Tuesday would turn out differently and I'm really
- 0:42Speaker 1: looking forward to him and Tom Zawistowski on the bottom
- 0:44Speaker 1: of the hour to see his, uh, red wave prediction
- 0:47Speaker 1: didn't come true. And several of my listeners are saying, well,
- 0:50Speaker 1: the election was stolen. There's no way this could have happened.
- 0:52Speaker 1: I'm anxiously anticipating which direction Tom's going to go. But
- 0:55Speaker 1: in the meantime, tonight's seminar, the empower you america.org seminar.
- 0:59Speaker 1: And I, Attend virtually. It's easy to do. I think
- 1:02Speaker 1: this is going to be a terrific class, and I'm
- 1:04Speaker 1: really hoping my listening audience logs in for this one.
- 1:08Speaker 1: It's Inside Doge. This is mind-boggling.
- 1:14Speaker 2: This is a wonderful, wonderful class. You know, it's amazing
- 1:17Speaker 2: when we set up the schedule, I had no idea
- 1:19Speaker 2: how important these topics were going to be at this
- 1:21Speaker 2: point in time. Tuesday and Thursday, it's amazing how relevant
- 1:25Speaker 2: they are. But first, Tyler Hassan, our 33-year-old who was
- 1:32Speaker 2: fired in January of 2025 for the Department of Government
- 1:37Speaker 2: Efficiency in order to cut 15% of the federal budget. Now,
- 1:42Speaker 2: those were heady times back in 2025 with Vivek Ramaswamy
- 1:47Speaker 2: and Elon Musk running this. And, of course, they ran
- 1:50Speaker 2: into some political headwinds, but they still cut millions and
- 1:53Speaker 2: millions of dollars. And this guy, Tyler, 33 years old,
- 1:57Speaker 2: he was given a spreadsheet with 10,000 different companies on it,
- 2:04Speaker 2: and he had to figure out which ones were actually–
- 2:09Speaker 2: doing something for the government that was worthwhile. 10,000 different
- 2:15Speaker 2: companies on a spreadsheet. He's going to give us the
- 2:18Speaker 2: inside story. And this is going to be a really
- 2:20Speaker 2: unusual virtual class. You all have to attend first. Dan
- 2:25Speaker 2: Reganold is going to be hosting it himself virtually. So
- 2:27Speaker 2: it'll be nice to hear from Dan again. And he
- 2:29Speaker 2: is really passionate on this topic. Another thing that we're
- 2:33Speaker 2: going to do, this is virtual tonight, so remember you
- 2:35Speaker 2: have to go to empoweryouamerica.org, preferably register in advance. Do
- 2:40Speaker 2: it now while you're thinking about it. You can sign in.
- 2:43Speaker 2: You can just join while it's in progress, but it's
- 2:46Speaker 2: easier to register and get the link and just go.
- 2:49Speaker 2: It's much easier that way. But one thing we don't
- 2:52Speaker 2: normally do, we're going to be giving away 10 free
- 2:56Speaker 2: copies of his book. Inside Doge, What Really Happened by
- 3:01Speaker 2: Tyler Hasson. During the course of this lecture, 10 copies.
- 3:04Speaker 2: So everybody go listen. You'll get a free book, and
- 3:07Speaker 2: you'll be able to hear what really happened.
- 3:09Speaker 1: Well, and why there was so much headwind or pushback
- 3:13Speaker 1: from the efforts. I mean, every time they made an
- 3:16Speaker 1: announcement about different funding that we, the American taxpayers, were
- 3:20Speaker 1: behind in the just craziness. of doge and the lack
- 3:24Speaker 1: of oversight. Did your taxpayer dollar really deliver on what
- 3:28Speaker 1: the money went out into the world to do? And
- 3:30Speaker 1: there's no oversight or follow-up. So the answer is we
- 3:32Speaker 1: don't know. But then we also find out it's going
- 3:35Speaker 1: out into the world to fund all these crazy concepts
- 3:37Speaker 1: and organizations like following transvestite prostitutes in China or something
- 3:43Speaker 1: or shrimp on treadmill. And the Democrats were just apoplectic.
- 3:47Speaker 1: You can't pull the plug on this. You can't pull
- 3:49Speaker 1: the plug on this. I'm surprised that this whole concept
- 3:52Speaker 1: didn't get much more traction and much more support from
- 3:54Speaker 1: the American people, generally speaking. Dr. Jay, sorry to go
- 3:58Speaker 1: off on a tear like that, but this was an
- 4:00Speaker 1: important step that we were taking to shore up all
- 4:02Speaker 1: this fraud, waste, and abuse, and it still keeps getting uncovered.
- 4:07Speaker 2: I agree with you. I don't understand how they're able
- 4:09Speaker 2: to make this look like something bad. I mean, this
- 4:12Speaker 2: is obviously something everyone is for. Al Gore set up
- 4:15Speaker 2: a government efficiency organization to do this very thing. But
- 4:19Speaker 2: I guess it was just too successful. We all know
- 4:21Speaker 2: now that USAID was kind of funding liberal causes throughout
- 4:28Speaker 2: the country and throughout the globe, and perhaps that's why.
- 4:31Speaker 2: Let me give you one example. Tyler Hassan's firsthand experience
- 4:36Speaker 2: includes late-night meetings in the West Wing to high-stakes confrontations
- 4:39Speaker 2: with senators. So while he was there, there was that
- 4:42Speaker 2: California water crisis. with palisades and no reservoir and stuff. Oh, yeah.
- 4:47Speaker 2: That set off a media firestorm and an $ 830 million
- 4:51Speaker 2: contract request for customer service surveys.
- 4:58Speaker 1: $ 830 million for customer service surveys. You know what? I'm
- 5:06Speaker 1: of the mind that Joe Strecker and I could sit
- 5:07Speaker 1: down and offer to do that for maybe $ 415 million
- 5:11Speaker 1: and still get the job accomplished.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Oh, what a deal. I'll do it for $ 20. I
- 5:17Speaker 2: need Joe, too. So, Joe, I've got to hire you
- 5:19Speaker 2: for $ 10 million.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Is that okay? He just underbid you. It's a race
- 5:24Speaker 1: to the bottom, proving that if you're not connected with government,
- 5:27Speaker 1: you might have to compete with price, and you might
- 5:29Speaker 1: be able to deliver for a lot less money. But
- 5:31Speaker 1: since these are all folks that are connected with politicians,
- 5:34Speaker 1: they get anything they want with a handout. All right,
- 5:37Speaker 1: that's tonight. Doge, and it's important.
- 5:39Speaker 2: 10 o'clock tonight.
- 5:41Speaker 1: And if you can't listen tonight live... Just go back
- 5:44Speaker 1: to empoweryouamerica.org, and there'll be a link to a podcast
- 5:47Speaker 1: version of it. You can watch it later in your week.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Let's fast forward to Thursday. This is an in-person one
- 5:54Speaker 1: or log in from home. Our Incredible Universe.
- 5:59Speaker 2: I have given this one short shrift previously, and I
- 6:01Speaker 2: want to apologize to all of you who have been
- 6:03Speaker 2: listening to me on this show. We did this like
- 6:07Speaker 2: months ago, and I was entranced with it then, and
- 6:09Speaker 2: I just kind of lost track of what it was about.
- 6:12Speaker 2: Let me just– Tom Hagedorn is one of our great speakers.
- 6:15Speaker 2: He's on the board. He comes up with these fascinating topics.
- 6:18Speaker 2: So until 90 years ago, most scientists believed that the
- 6:22Speaker 2: universe had always existed. Then Edwin Hubble discovered the astonishing
- 6:26Speaker 2: fact that stars he observed had all moved away from
- 6:29Speaker 2: one central location or starting point, seeming to indicate that
- 6:32Speaker 2: the universe had a beginning. Now, we all kind of
- 6:35Speaker 2: know about this, right? The Big Bang. We've heard about this.
- 6:37Speaker 2: We've internalized it. And then Father George Lemaitre, a Belgian priest,
- 6:42Speaker 2: worked out the complex math that supported these observations, but
- 6:46Speaker 2: no one believed Hubble's observations until the math came behind it.
- 6:51Speaker 2: But here's the interesting thing. The speed at which the
- 6:55Speaker 2: universe was expanding had to be with extremely small limits,
- 6:59Speaker 2: at virtually any speed slightly faster or slightly slower. The
- 7:04Speaker 2: universe needed to be a huge area of formless gas
- 7:06Speaker 2: and tiny particles. It wouldn't have coalesced into atoms and
- 7:10Speaker 2: planets and us. Gravity would have caused it all to
- 7:13Speaker 2: fall back on itself into a very hot, dense spot
- 7:16Speaker 2: like a black hole and then cease to exist. It
- 7:18Speaker 2: would have just been a little slower. So there's this
- 7:21Speaker 2: one tiny little bit of area that made it work
- 7:25Speaker 2: to turn into the universe that we have. Now, that's
- 7:28Speaker 2: just one little fact. of amazing significance, hard to believe
- 7:33Speaker 2: this happened naturally. He's going to have 29 other relationships,
- 7:38Speaker 2: 30 in all, that were discovered to be within similarly
- 7:41Speaker 2: small tolerances if the universe and advanced life, including us,
- 7:46Speaker 2: were to exist. This class is not just about science
- 7:50Speaker 2: and astronomy and discoveries, but it's about that interaction of faith, perhaps,
- 7:57Speaker 2: and science. Those of you who are looking for a
- 8:00Speaker 2: scientific reason for creation, come on to this class. It'll
- 8:04Speaker 2: be fascinating. It'll open your eyes. It'll be awe-inspiring. Tom Hagedorn,
- 8:09Speaker 2: Thursday night at 7 o'clock. Empower you at Scarlet Oaks.
- 8:14Speaker 2: Please come and attend. Please attend online. It should be
- 8:17Speaker 2: just fascinating.
- 8:18Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sure. And I am certain that part of
- 8:21Speaker 1: the materials will sort of reveal, reflect, or confirm how unbelievably,
- 8:26Speaker 1: almost incredibly, how inconceivably huge the universe is amid all
- 8:33Speaker 1: of these new reports of, you know, extraterrestrials flying around
- 8:37Speaker 1: in our around the earth. And, you know, where did
- 8:40Speaker 1: they come from? Considering the physics that we are aware
- 8:42Speaker 1: of just don't allow that kind of distance to be traveled.
- 8:46Speaker 1: Even the nearest planet is multiple light years away. And,
- 8:49Speaker 1: you know, you and I couldn't manage that challenge. So
- 8:51Speaker 1: what in the hell's going on out there? Perfect timing
- 8:54Speaker 1: on that one. Dr. J, don't go away because we've
- 8:55Speaker 1: got a few more to talk about. EmpowerYouAmerica.com. Talk station. 719-55-KRC-D.
- 9:01Speaker 1: Talk station. Happy Tuesday. Brian Thomas with Dr. J Rissa.
- 9:04Speaker 1: We're talking about the Empower You seminar series coming up.
- 9:07Speaker 1: You've got that Doge seminar tonight. You've got the Incredible
- 9:09Speaker 1: Universe on Thursday. Hey, real quick, I just have to
- 9:12Speaker 1: say it out loud because I saw this photograph. Dr. J,
- 9:15Speaker 1: you remember Ed Fink, the financial planner? He is an
- 9:18Speaker 1: amazing photographer. You've seen some of the photographs he puts
- 9:21Speaker 1: on his Facebook page. Amazing. Yesterday, from the prior night,
- 9:26Speaker 1: he did a time-lapse photography of what is called the
- 9:30Speaker 1: Fireworks Galaxy. It was 325 successive 15-second exposures which allowed
- 9:37Speaker 1: him to see this distant galaxy, which is 11 million
- 9:41Speaker 1: light-years away. and 40,000 light years across. The one galaxy
- 9:47Speaker 1: is 40,000 light years across, and it's one of millions
- 9:50Speaker 1: of galaxies out there. The universe is really, really, really huge.
- 9:56Speaker 1: It really is. Things like that just absolutely blow me away.
- 9:59Speaker 1: All right, pivoting over. George Martin, the fifth Beatle.
- 10:04Speaker 2: Actually, before we talk about him, I want to talk
- 10:07Speaker 2: about our second speaker on Thursday.
- 10:08Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 10:09Speaker 2: Actually, very important to us. So that, of course, is
- 10:12Speaker 2: this Thursday, November 12th, and he will actually be the
- 10:15Speaker 2: warm-up for Tom Hagedorn and our incredible universe in We're
- 10:19Speaker 2: going to have Mike Odioso speak, who thankfully is still
- 10:23Speaker 2: representing us in the Statehouse of Ohio in the 30th District.
- 10:28Speaker 1: Thank you to the voters.
- 10:30Speaker 2: Yes, thank you very much to the voters. But let
- 10:32Speaker 2: me just read you what we wrote in the summer.
- 10:35Speaker 2: This is our Ohio State Legislature update. With a new
- 10:39Speaker 2: governor taking office in January, what is on the agenda
- 10:43Speaker 2: for the state legislature for the remainder of 2026? And
- 10:47Speaker 2: what's ahead in 2027? You got a little time. This
- 10:51Speaker 2: class seems very important, does it not?
- 10:53Speaker 1: It certainly does. I've been talking about that. I had
- 10:57Speaker 1: yesterday Representative Adam Byrd on the program to talk about
- 11:00Speaker 1: how the Republicans in Columbus are going to use up
- 11:02Speaker 1: the remaining time of their supermajority. And this is going
- 11:06Speaker 1: to be great having Mike on there talking about that
- 11:08Speaker 1: as well. Agenda items galore.
- 11:10Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, so hopefully they'll be able to accelerate some
- 11:13Speaker 2: of the projects they've been working on because they're going
- 11:15Speaker 2: to need to. So hopefully we'll get a really good
- 11:18Speaker 2: update on maybe some positive things that are going to
- 11:21Speaker 2: happen in the next few weeks, next month or so.
- 11:23Speaker 2: So please tune in. That's at 7 o'clock on Thursday
- 11:27Speaker 2: for Mike Odioso, who will tell us what the Ohio
- 11:30Speaker 2: General Assembly will continue addressing, the state budget, education, health care,
- 11:34Speaker 2: workforce development, economic growth, public safety, and some specific bills
- 11:39Speaker 2: in each of those topics.
- 11:41Speaker 1: Great.
- 11:41Speaker 2: So definitely join in. And then, of course, after him
- 11:44Speaker 2: will be Tom Hagedorn. OK, so now moving on to
- 11:49Speaker 2: why George Martin is called the fifth Beatle. And indeed,
- 11:54Speaker 2: this should be a really great class. Michael Mercier is
- 11:57Speaker 2: a big, big Beatles fan and a big music fan.
- 12:02Speaker 2: And his nickname in college was Mick because of his
- 12:05Speaker 2: spot on Mick Jagger imitation. We'd have to ask him
- 12:09Speaker 2: to do that during the class. I don't know. It is. Uh,
- 12:14Speaker 2: let's see. It is a, uh, uh, this is virtual. No,
- 12:17Speaker 2: I don't think so.
- 12:19Speaker 1: Register virtually.
- 12:21Speaker 2: Yes.
- 12:21Speaker 1: I'm staring at it right there. 7. PM on the 17th.
- 12:25Speaker 2: That's a shame. It'd be hard to ask him the question.
- 12:27Speaker 2: Somebody has to call in and maybe I will. So, uh,
- 12:31Speaker 2: This is going to be about George Martin, who actually
- 12:34Speaker 2: deserved to be called the fifth Beatle. Probably merely the
- 12:37Speaker 2: Beatles producer understates what he did.
- 12:39Speaker 1: That's true.
- 12:40Speaker 2: He walked through the Beatles' most innovative songs, discussed the
- 12:43Speaker 2: contributions George Martin made to each. He used his own
- 12:48Speaker 2: self-invented recording techniques, plus suggesting the novel approaches the Beatles adopted.
- 12:53Speaker 2: He wrote original parts for a variety of instruments. The
- 12:57Speaker 2: classical musicians' performances were all arranged by him. And so
- 13:01Speaker 2: some of their most celebrated innovations had something to do
- 13:04Speaker 2: with Martin's imagination and expertise. If you like music, if
- 13:08Speaker 2: you like the Beatles, you would love this class. That
- 13:12Speaker 2: will be absolutely amazing. November 17th, virtually empower you seven o'clock.
- 13:17Speaker 2: Remember empower you. America.org is the website to go to.
- 13:21Speaker 2: And if you're going to go in person, Scarlet Oaks
- 13:24Speaker 2: is our campus. We're in the 300 building on Scarlet
- 13:28Speaker 2: Oaks drive. And, uh, Our classes on Thursday started seven,
- 13:32Speaker 2: and then the second class will start about 7.30. And
- 13:35Speaker 2: on November 19th, we're going to have Remembering 9-11, a
- 13:39Speaker 2: firsthand account from the Pentagon. An amazing, amazing class. I've
- 13:43Speaker 2: heard Captain Steven Johnson speak. He was right in the Pentagon.
- 13:47Speaker 2: He was right there in Ring D. There are five
- 13:51Speaker 2: rings to the Pentagon that day. And that plane went
- 13:54Speaker 2: in through A, B, and C rings and almost hit
- 13:58Speaker 2: his ring in Ring D. And he's going to tell
- 14:01Speaker 2: us about the Pentagon, about it getting built, about it
- 14:04Speaker 2: being there that day, with pictures of beforehand and afterhand.
- 14:08Speaker 2: There was a daycare in the Pentagon. All those kids
- 14:13Speaker 2: got out okay, thank goodness. They were not in the
- 14:16Speaker 2: area of damage. Images of them walking away from the
- 14:20Speaker 2: Pentagon over the fields because there was no transportation. Everybody
- 14:23Speaker 2: had to walk to get out of there. Amazing day.
- 14:27Speaker 2: And then before that, Mission Ready, Testosterone and Men's Health
- 14:30Speaker 2: in the Military. We're going to be talking about testosterone
- 14:33Speaker 2: replacement in the military, which is a brand new policy
- 14:36Speaker 2: of Pete Hegseth, who badly seems to be under so
- 14:39Speaker 2: much fire these days. Just one of the many, many
- 14:42Speaker 2: innovations he has done. He has really turned our military
- 14:44Speaker 2: into a lean, mean fighting machine. And they're now testing
- 14:48Speaker 2: testosterone in the military. Why the heck are they doing that?
- 14:51Speaker 2: Why are they considering that important? Dr. Michael Addy is
- 14:55Speaker 2: a local practitioner. He's with your health wellness center. And he,
- 15:01Speaker 2: he is a expert in this has been working with Dr.
- 15:04Speaker 2: Bill Lovett for years now. And he's going to talk about, Oh,
- 15:09Speaker 2: go ahead.
- 15:09Speaker 1: No, just saying benefits and risks, pluses and minuses of
- 15:12Speaker 1: testosterone replacement therapy. That'd be good. A good help out there.
- 15:16Speaker 1: And since we're out of time, Dr.
- 15:17Speaker 2: J Dr.
- 15:19Speaker 1: The last one of the year, December 3rd, it's bourbon tasting,
- 15:21Speaker 1: but not on the Scarlet Oaks campuses at the Cincinnati
- 15:24Speaker 1: Krav Maga on Alliance Road because no drinking at Scarlet Oaks.
- 15:28Speaker 1: Bourbon tasting.
- 15:30Speaker 2: That is right. December 3rd with our own Mike Wilson,
- 15:33Speaker 2: who is such a bourbon aficionado. He is in clubs.
- 15:36Speaker 2: He gets a bourbon of the month. He gets together
- 15:39Speaker 2: with friends and tastes bourbon and has gone to distilleries.
- 15:42Speaker 2: He is going to bring us a wealth of information
- 15:45Speaker 2: and several bourbons to taste. So that'll be a lot
- 15:48Speaker 2: of fun. Do sign up. We only have 50 seats
- 15:51Speaker 2: right now. Please pre-register so we know how many glasses
- 15:55Speaker 2: to bring and cups and water and, of course, how
- 15:57Speaker 2: much bourbon. December 3rd at Cincinnati Krav Maga in Blue Ash.
- 16:02Speaker 2: The directions are there. The address is there. Please sign
- 16:06Speaker 2: up and register at... EmpowerYouAmerica.org.

- 16:14Speaker 1: for taking the leading role in continuing to promote these
- 16:18Speaker 1: wonderful education opportunities. And a strong recommendation for my listeners
- 16:21Speaker 1: to log into the classes. Some really eye-opening stuff there. Dr. J.,
- 16:25Speaker 1: we'll talk again real soon, my friend. Take care.
