- 0:42Speaker 1: again a shout out prayers. Please please please my prayer
- 0:45Speaker 1: for all audience, but you please direct some prayers to
- 0:48Speaker 1: Joe Strecker's father, who is still struggling mightily with some
- 0:51Speaker 1: serious health consequences. Joe, hope you don't mind me asking
- 0:54Speaker 1: for prayers for your father. I personally am engaging in
- 0:56Speaker 1: some myself and wish you and your family all the best.
- 1:00Speaker 1: So I certainly invite you to call with thy five
- 1:02Speaker 1: Carsey Morning Show. It's hit. It's already here. We say.
- 1:06Speaker 1: Gas prices jump because of the strikes in Iran. Why
- 1:09Speaker 1: is the supply already interrupted? Not yet? Fear is driven
- 1:14Speaker 1: the prices up. This is an excuse I think by
- 1:17Speaker 1: the gas companies to simply just raise it. Look war
- 1:20Speaker 1: let's raise the price, and it's gone up pretty substantially.
- 1:23Speaker 1: Gas Buddy hasn't reflected the increase, not necessarily yet. I
- 1:26Speaker 1: saw local reporting from a WCPO saying we've already gone
- 1:30Speaker 1: north of three dollars, many people complaining they paid like
- 1:33Speaker 1: three dollars and nineteen cents a gallon was a speedway
- 1:35Speaker 1: off I seventy one that was specifically referenced in nor
- 1:38Speaker 1: would a couple other state references Butler County above three
- 1:43Speaker 1: dollars described as a sixty cent jump in Butler County
- 1:48Speaker 1: in a day. Gas Buddy currently saying Ohio gas price
- 1:52Speaker 1: stats for the entire state between two eleven and two
- 1:55Speaker 1: eighty nine, last updated twenty two hours ago, the best
- 1:58Speaker 1: I can figure. So you look for revision today on
- 2:01Speaker 1: gasbuddy dot com. That's where you get your gasoline prices.
- 2:05Speaker 1: Question is it worth it or we're gonna find out?
- 2:07Speaker 1: And more on that topic because it kind of transcends
- 2:11Speaker 1: just the immediate increase in gasoline prices, and people are
- 2:14Speaker 1: starting to reflect on not just the war and its
- 2:17Speaker 1: impact on the price of the fuel, but even in
- 2:20Speaker 1: the bluest state like New York, they're starting to turn
- 2:22Speaker 1: their back on Yes, thank God, the green religion that
- 2:26Speaker 1: is carbon dioxide, plant food killing us or something. Coming
- 2:31Speaker 1: up at fifty five caresee Morning Show Tom's Awastowski Wether
- 2:33Speaker 1: People Convention dot Org question what will happen when no
- 2:37Speaker 1: more property tax grew? Or what happened rather when no
- 2:39Speaker 1: more property tax? Group met with Vivik Ramaswami. Where's Vvik
- 2:43Speaker 1: on the vote? I think Tom's gonna let us know it.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Coming up at seven thirty, we're also going to talk
- 2:48Speaker 1: about pulling on the Ohio property tax. Where do people sit?
- 2:51Speaker 1: I see a lot of posts on social media for
- 2:55Speaker 1: the group that's pushing to eradicate property taxes in Ohio.
- 2:58Speaker 1: I expect, at some point, and I'm not sure where
- 3:00Speaker 1: it's going to come from, there will be a well
- 3:03Speaker 1: organized money back campaign to get you to decide that
- 3:07Speaker 1: eliminating property tax in Ohio is a really, really bad idea. Yes,
- 3:11Speaker 1: the war of marketing on that is fast approaching. Look
- 3:14Speaker 1: you can see it down the road there. Coming up
- 3:16Speaker 1: an eight oh five, the return of London Bureau Chief
- 3:19Speaker 1: Oliver Lane to talk about the United Kingdom's response to
- 3:22Speaker 1: the United States and Israel's launching an attack on Iran.
- 3:25Speaker 1: It seemed to be all over the place but not
- 3:27Speaker 1: really committed to doing anything. London Bureau Chief Oliver Lane
- 3:30Speaker 1: on that the inside Scoop with Breitbart every Tuesday at
- 3:33Speaker 1: eight oh five, and of course should be rather interesting.
- 3:36Speaker 1: I think it always is retired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis
- 3:38Speaker 1: with a Daniel Davis Deep Dive, which we do every
- 3:41Speaker 1: Tuesday at eight thirty. Today no exception of that. We
- 3:44Speaker 1: will definitely be talking about Iran and a lot of
- 3:47Speaker 1: concerns articulated this morning in various media outlets about running
- 3:52Speaker 1: out of the interceptor missiles. So you've got thousands of
- 3:56Speaker 1: Iranian rockets, not sure how many have been destroyed. I
- 3:59Speaker 1: saw one talking head yesterday, someone in the know, a
- 4:02Speaker 1: noted notable expert. You know, he put a label expert
- 4:04Speaker 1: after someone. I guess they are saying that, you know,
- 4:07Speaker 1: it sounded like a great thing, and he was praising
- 4:09Speaker 1: it as a great thing that we've knocked out fifty
- 4:10Speaker 1: percent of the Iranian missile capacity. Now I don't know
- 4:14Speaker 1: how that translates. There are drones, are there are are
- 4:17Speaker 1: long range missiles, medium range missiles. The Shah he eats
- 4:20Speaker 1: all this kind of different military hardware. I wasn't really
- 4:23Speaker 1: quite clear based on his comments fifty percent of what,
- 4:28Speaker 1: but we are making some men rows and that's going
- 4:29Speaker 1: to be the continued pressure from the United States well
- 4:32Speaker 1: in Israel and find the missiles and blow them up,
- 4:35Speaker 1: find the manufacturing facilities and blow them up. By understanding
- 4:38Speaker 1: one drone launching facility and maybe even manufacturing facility was
- 4:42Speaker 1: eliminated yesterday, perhaps the day before with the initial strikes.
- 4:46Speaker 1: One can only hope that this this air action, this
- 4:50Speaker 1: air campaign, will be more successful and rapidly so in
- 4:54Speaker 1: eliminating Iran's ability to launch and they seem to be
- 4:57Speaker 1: very indiscriminate launching missiles in to the various regional countries.
- 5:01Speaker 1: Of course, our military bases and Israel generally speaking c
- 5:05Speaker 1: to be the of course focus of the Iranian response.
- 5:09Speaker 1: More on that coming up, and we'll have our ask
- 5:12Speaker 1: the Expert today. You know me, I love talking about
- 5:14Speaker 1: cancer because every time I have OHC and one of
- 5:16Speaker 1: their great doctors on the program gives me some great
- 5:19Speaker 1: optimism that someday, someday we will have a cure. Well,
- 5:22Speaker 1: today we're going to have ohc's doctor, A G. Golah.
- 5:25Speaker 1: He's a medical oncologist and hematologist and director of stem
- 5:28Speaker 1: cell transplant and cellular Therapy discussing clinical trials and why
- 5:33Speaker 1: they are a vital part of treating cancer and how
- 5:36Speaker 1: cancer research provides cancer patients with one of the most
- 5:38Speaker 1: important aspects of care. That's hope, but cancer clinical trials
- 5:42Speaker 1: being on the forefront, that they are the starting place
- 5:46Speaker 1: in helping you get relief and of course maybe bringing
- 5:48Speaker 1: in about better relief or others that are struggling with cancer.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Cancer sucks. Let's finally have something to embrace without a
- 5:56Speaker 1: political stripe, something we can all agree on. Cancer sucks.
- 6:01Speaker 1: That's the Morning Show today five one, three, seven, four,
- 6:03Speaker 1: nine fifty five, eight hundred eight two to three Talk
- 6:05Speaker 1: found five fifty on AT and T phones. Okay, we
- 6:09Speaker 1: have got gas prices going up, of course, to the
- 6:11Speaker 1: consequence of the war in the Middle East. Understand that
- 6:14Speaker 1: that's going to happen. Ripple effect, the shutting down to
- 6:17Speaker 1: the strait of horn Mouse, which I have read multiple
- 6:20Speaker 1: places now may very well impact China and Russia to
- 6:24Speaker 1: the negative sort of a Is it a corollary benefit
- 6:28Speaker 1: or is it one of the primary benefits. I don't know,
- 6:30Speaker 1: but it's harming our two greatest enemies, China and Russia.
- 6:34Speaker 1: But insofar as let us let us go to a
- 6:36Speaker 1: little a little dose of reality for all those green
- 6:40Speaker 1: religion fans out there, New York Governor Kathy Hokeel among them.
- 6:44Speaker 1: Until oh, that's right the other day, hmm, what's going
- 6:48Speaker 1: on with New York screen policies. Well, remember the price
- 6:53Speaker 1: of gas will necessarily increase. Barack Obama toljia ahead of time.
- 6:56Speaker 1: That was a long time ago. And what has happened
- 6:59Speaker 1: with the implementation of the green policies and billions and
- 7:02Speaker 1: billions of taxpayer dollars rerouted to supplement the manufacturer of
- 7:06Speaker 1: windmills and solar panels, giving the Chinese the upper hand
- 7:10Speaker 1: and something that doesn't generate electricity very reliably. Yes, we
- 7:14Speaker 1: all know that Governor Hathi Kathy Hokals administration is now
- 7:17Speaker 1: warning that gas prices could soar two dollars and twenty
- 7:22Speaker 1: three cents over the next few years. She's getting ready
- 7:25Speaker 1: to launch a fight with her fellow Democrats to delay
- 7:28Speaker 1: their green energy mandates that were implemented in twenty nineteen.
- 7:32Speaker 1: The twenty nineteen Climate Change Law is now coming home
- 7:35Speaker 1: to roost and the chickens are not happy. Memo leak
- 7:38Speaker 1: by hocals Camp details what is described as a stunning
- 7:42Speaker 1: projected fuel cost at the pump and for households. If
- 7:46Speaker 1: this stupid cap and invest initiative kicks in as planned,
- 7:52Speaker 1: they say, New York households could pay another twenty three
- 7:54Speaker 1: hundred dollars a year in natural gas costs. Notice the
- 7:58Speaker 1: emphasis on natural gas. This on top of some other
- 8:01Speaker 1: massive rate increases. New York State Energy and Research Development
- 8:05Speaker 1: Authority has issued a memo saying exactly that upstate households
- 8:10Speaker 1: even more forty three hundred dollars per year more lokl
- 8:18Speaker 1: arguing yesterday for us to meet the goals on the
- 8:21Speaker 1: timeframe that was set by the legislature, which pulled a
- 8:24Speaker 1: number out of their sphincter, there's going to be enormous
- 8:27Speaker 1: cost of families. Right, the price of gas will necessarily
- 8:31Speaker 1: increased because you think windmills and solar panels are the answer,
- 8:34Speaker 1: and not building any more natural gas pipelines was seen
- 8:37Speaker 1: to be the real problem for New York and most
- 8:39Speaker 1: people in the Northeast region of the country. The climate
- 8:42Speaker 1: law that they enacted mandates in New York electricity degenerated
- 8:45Speaker 1: seventy percent zero missions by twenty thirty, one hundred percent
- 8:50Speaker 1: zero missions by twenty forty. What a lofty, impossible to
- 8:55Speaker 1: achieve goal. And she admitted that is unachievable as large
- 9:02Speaker 1: renewable energy projects are failing. And of course, the elimination
- 9:06Speaker 1: of subsidies for green initiatives by the Trump administration. In
- 9:10Speaker 1: other words, that would be your tax the taxpayer dollars
- 9:13Speaker 1: going to mask the actual cost of the creation of
- 9:18Speaker 1: these various green facilities local planet and negotiate changes to
- 9:23Speaker 1: the climate mandates. Pushing back on those deadlines. Hmmm, and
- 9:29Speaker 1: I love this. I'll give credit to the New York
- 9:31Speaker 1: Post reporting how the battle plays out. Could have reverberations
- 9:35Speaker 1: in November when Hochel's up for re election. Ah, with
- 9:37Speaker 1: New York skitty cities, sky high cost of living, expect
- 9:41Speaker 1: to be in the front and center during the campaign. Affordability.
- 9:46Speaker 1: Who's screaming and running around talking about affordability, affordability, affordability,
- 9:49Speaker 1: right the Democrats. This is their campaign platform. And you know, honestly,
- 9:52Speaker 1: if I was a Democrat to make the same argument,
- 9:54Speaker 1: well as transparent as it is. Giving Joe Biden's infusion
- 9:59Speaker 1: of literally trillions of dollars into this green new energy
- 10:02Speaker 1: crap that is driving our energy prices up. Guess what
- 10:07Speaker 1: people are waking up even without the additional squeeze con
- 10:13Speaker 1: ad also independent of anything else going on, hikeder electricity
- 10:19Speaker 1: bills in New York City by three point nine percent
- 10:21Speaker 1: this year, and they have another improved increase for next
- 10:24Speaker 1: year at three point three percent, and another one at
- 10:26Speaker 1: three point two percent twenty twenty eight. Add it all up,
- 10:32Speaker 1: so I'm looking at about a fourteen to fifteen percent
- 10:34Speaker 1: increase in the electricity prices. I guess, all things being equal,
- 10:38Speaker 1: and even if you get rid of these stupid climbate mandates,
- 10:43Speaker 1: UH electricity prices fifty percent higher than the national average
- 10:48Speaker 1: in New York City and the eighth highest in the
- 10:51Speaker 1: United States because of the policies. Doesn't have to be
- 10:55Speaker 1: that way. Memo league by Hocheal's office cover the potential
- 11:01Speaker 1: cost of this cap and trade program or captain invest program.
- 11:05Speaker 1: I like that, invest invest in what something that doesn't work.
- 11:09Speaker 1: We charge fossil fuel companies based upon the amount of
- 11:12Speaker 1: carbon emissions they spew. There we go, You exhale carbon
- 11:18Speaker 1: dioxide to the benefit of plants, and it is not
- 11:20Speaker 1: a pollutant, something naturally occurring. It exists in the atmosphere
- 11:23Speaker 1: to a certain percentage. It varies year after year and
- 11:26Speaker 1: decade after decade, and of course century after century, millennia
- 11:29Speaker 1: after millennia carbon carbon dioxide. When will people quit believing
- 11:36Speaker 1: that that is dangerous? Gasoline prices in New York going
- 11:38Speaker 1: to be climbing above the average highest in the United States.
- 11:44Speaker 1: California currently has the highest gas price. Governor Newsom talked
- 11:48Speaker 1: about the end of the day. He stepped at at
- 11:49Speaker 1: what he did. Now the Republican challenger in the election
- 11:54Speaker 1: coming up for New York Nasau County Executive, Bruce Blakeman,
- 12:00Speaker 1: he will make you tilt it cost an election issue affordability, Hey,
- 12:03Speaker 1: a Republican, make that issue too. He promised to repeal
- 12:07Speaker 1: this stupid climate law. This is driving the New Yorkers
- 12:09Speaker 1: to the point of where they can't afford anything. Of course,
- 12:13Speaker 1: on the other side, the leftists are screaming about how
- 12:15Speaker 1: the planet is going to die within the next hundred
- 12:18Speaker 1: years or something like that. Yeah, okay, sure, somebody go
- 12:23Speaker 1: back and watch Al Gore's movie and see if anything
- 12:26Speaker 1: he said came true. Five eighteen, fifty five Kcity the
- 12:30Speaker 1: talk station. Bobby, hang on to get you call in
- 12:32Speaker 1: a second. Got to take a quick break. He'll be
- 12:33Speaker 1: right back. This is fifty five karc An iHeartRadio station.

- 12:43Speaker 1: a very happy Tuesday to you, sir.
- 12:46Speaker 2: Happy holiday, my brother saith flag family, and a good spotter.
- 12:50Speaker 2: When you have those, you will always be able to
- 12:52Speaker 2: keep your freedom.
- 12:53Speaker 1: A good spotter what looking for drones flying in to
- 12:57Speaker 1: deliver payloads or something, Bobby.
- 13:00Speaker 2: But when you're fifteen hundred out, it's always good to
- 13:02Speaker 2: have an extra set of eyes.
- 13:04Speaker 1: That is true. You had someone with someone standing over
- 13:09Speaker 1: your shoulder with the dope sheet.
- 13:12Speaker 2: No, just right next to me on the right hand side.
- 13:15Speaker 1: Okay, those not to know the dop The dope sheet
- 13:18Speaker 1: is what your spoder will use to tell you what
- 13:20Speaker 1: your elevation and your windage and everything else is when
- 13:22Speaker 1: you're hit shooting targets long range. Anyway, Bobby, what's on
- 13:25Speaker 1: your mind today?
- 13:26Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you what. We got two people that
- 13:30Speaker 2: suspects in the mass shooting. I think they apprehend.
- 13:33Speaker 1: I saw that young men too, twenty four year old
- 13:36Speaker 1: Frenique Cobb and twenty nine year old Derek Long.
- 13:41Speaker 2: How long you think it'll be before they're out walking
- 13:44Speaker 2: the streets again.
- 13:45Speaker 1: Oh, they may be already. They're probably in front of
- 13:47Speaker 1: Judge Silverstein this yesterday afternoon. Yeah, slap, slap on the hand.
- 13:51Speaker 1: You know you'd be a good boy on recognizance. Don't
- 13:53Speaker 1: go anywhere, oh, and said Joe said, along with a
- 13:57Speaker 1: cup of juice and a cookie.
- 14:00Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll tell you what.
- 14:01Speaker 2: I hope they don't come in our neighborhood.
- 14:03Speaker 1: Well, if I was them, I know you, Bobby, I
- 14:06Speaker 1: wouldn't be going into your neighborhood either. I live in
- 14:11Speaker 1: a neighborhood like your neighborhood. I think I feel very
- 14:14Speaker 1: safe in my neighborhood. Bobby, Great, Oh my, at the
- 14:22Speaker 1: risk Oh hell, I was going to say, at the
- 14:25Speaker 1: risk of running long, Joe, But I'm looking at the
- 14:28Speaker 1: rundown this morning, and I may not be to go
- 14:30Speaker 1: along with this USL and Gxport article, which was really fantastic. Anyhow,
- 14:35Speaker 1: I'll just give you Governor Newsom's effort to try to
- 14:38Speaker 1: troll Donald Trump on the price of gasoline at gasoline
- 14:41Speaker 1: which is close to five dollars a gallon in California
- 14:44Speaker 1: because of well, their own climate policies. They're shutting down
- 14:48Speaker 1: of oil refineries and the refusal to drill into the
- 14:50Speaker 1: two billion barrels of oil that they've got underneath the
- 14:54Speaker 1: surface of the state of California. Let us see here,
- 14:59Speaker 1: what did he have to say say bragging about California
- 15:01Speaker 1: is declining gas prices. Quote says Governor news Average gas
- 15:06Speaker 1: prices in California have stayed below five dollars for nearly
- 15:09Speaker 1: two years. Joe, you know, we were paying about two
- 15:12Speaker 1: dollars and thirteen to twenty cents just the other day,
- 15:15Speaker 1: and generally in the state of Ohio. He's bragging about
- 15:18Speaker 1: keeping it under five. Meanwhile, people locally lamenting the fact
- 15:23Speaker 1: that the price of gasoline now is a little over
- 15:25Speaker 1: three dollars. Thank god, you're not in California, where the
- 15:29Speaker 1: price of course will go up there too because of
- 15:31Speaker 1: global realities. Right, they're not immune from it. In fact,
- 15:35Speaker 1: they're even worse off. Here's why Newsom concluded average gas
- 15:39Speaker 1: price stay below fin us for two years. Trump's new
- 15:42Speaker 1: war already rattling markets We're watching this space closely. Enter
- 15:47Speaker 1: the US Oil and Gas Association, shooting down Governor Newsom's
- 15:51Speaker 1: endeavors to beat up on Trump. California imports five eighths
- 15:57Speaker 1: of its oil from abroad, again in spite of the
- 16:01Speaker 1: fact they have two billion barrels of oil beneath the
- 16:04Speaker 1: surface of their own state. US Oil and Gas went
- 16:08Speaker 1: on to explain how each the countries from which the
- 16:11Speaker 1: Golden State imports its oil. Are you ready? Here's what
- 16:13Speaker 1: they said. Time to school pajama boy who runs this
- 16:16Speaker 1: account for the governor, because this isn't the flex on
- 16:20Speaker 1: Trump he thinks it is. California imports sixty three percent
- 16:23Speaker 1: of its group from foreign countries, despite sitting on at
- 16:26Speaker 1: least one point seven billion barrels of proven reserves, according
- 16:29Speaker 1: to the California Energy Commission. Here's the breakdown. Twenty one
- 16:33Speaker 1: percent comes from Iraq, twenty percent from Brazil, sixteen from Guyana,
- 16:38Speaker 1: fourteen from Ecuador, six percent of Colombia, four percent from Canada,
- 16:42Speaker 1: four from Mexico. United Arab admirates supply two percent, maybe
- 16:46Speaker 1: not for long. Saudi Arabia and other countries provide the
- 16:49Speaker 1: rest of the foreign share. The only state worried about
- 16:55Speaker 1: rattling foreign markets is California because you have let yourselves
- 16:59Speaker 1: be dependent on foreign supplies. You've done this to yourselves. Amen.
- 17:07Speaker 1: It's amazing how that is. It's the policies, folks. It's
- 17:10Speaker 1: not supply and demand, although yes, supplying demand is what's
- 17:14Speaker 1: impacting markets today. But if you got rid of your
- 17:16Speaker 1: stupid green agenda, you wouldn't be reeling with five dollar
- 17:19Speaker 1: approaching north of five dollar gasoline. Stick around more to
- 17:23Speaker 1: talk about coming up local stories. I of course prefer
- 17:26Speaker 1: phone calls. If you want to give me a call,
- 17:27Speaker 1: I'd love to hear from fifty on HGMG phones before
- 17:29Speaker 1: I get to the phones. Remind you that we did
- 17:31Speaker 1: money money with Brian James yesterday Energy Policy, looking forward
- 17:35Speaker 1: to having bring McGowan and sue you for an hour.
- 17:36Speaker 1: At some point. He was on for a couple of
- 17:37Speaker 1: segments yesterday regarding, of course energy in the war with
- 17:40Speaker 1: a run and its impact the Smith event episode one eight,
- 17:44Speaker 1: and he was ranting on fire with this Smith event yesterday.
- 17:49Speaker 1: Tonight's Tonight seven PM. Dan Reaganold reminded us yesterday with
- 17:52Speaker 1: a brief rundown of what he's going to be talking
- 17:54Speaker 1: about tonight. Empower you America dot org. Log in from home.
- 17:57Speaker 1: It's a virtual class on ten Eddie Roosevelt. I think
- 18:01Speaker 1: I learned more yesterday in about five or eight minutes
- 18:03Speaker 1: with Dan reganold than I knew about Teddy Roosevelt. And
- 18:06Speaker 1: there is so much to know about that guy described
- 18:08Speaker 1: it as larger than life and perhaps one of our
- 18:11Speaker 1: greatest presidents. Find out why he's on Mount Rushmore tonight,
- 18:14Speaker 1: seven pm. Over to the phones, Tom, thanks for calling
- 18:16Speaker 1: this morning. Happy Tuesday.
- 18:19Speaker 4: Hey, Hey, good morning.
- 18:21Speaker 3: I'm just saying I don't have a two inches of
- 18:23Speaker 3: snow out here to deal with, so that's good. That is, hopefully,
- 18:26Speaker 3: hopefully all that snow stuff behind us.
- 18:28Speaker 1: Did drive buy any gas stations?
- 18:31Speaker 3: I actually did. I was going to bring that up.
- 18:33Speaker 3: So when I when I got off work yesterday, I
- 18:36Speaker 3: went to a restaurant and on my way there I
- 18:39Speaker 3: saw two fifty five, you know, somewhere in that range,
- 18:43Speaker 3: I did see. Some of the bigger truck stops out
- 18:45Speaker 3: on the highway were already over three dollars account, you know,
- 18:50Speaker 3: like whatever big truck stops on sixty five. So I
- 18:54Speaker 3: come out of the restaurant and those those gas stations
- 18:58Speaker 3: that were in the two fifties jumped up. So there's
- 19:01Speaker 3: a particular gas station up here in the northwest part
- 19:04Speaker 3: of Indianapolis. It's actually out in front of it's a
- 19:07Speaker 3: Walmart gas station and it's up on eighty sixth Street.
- 19:12Speaker 3: If for all those listeners are out here in Indianapolis
- 19:16Speaker 3: and you never know, you got people in Florida and
- 19:18Speaker 3: where else. You got people all over the world listening
- 19:21Speaker 3: to you, don't you. So there might be something in Indy.
- 19:24Speaker 3: But by the time I got down there, it was
- 19:28Speaker 3: still low. It's always the lowest gas station around this area.
- 19:32Speaker 3: And I got gas for two thirty nine yesterday, So
- 19:36Speaker 3: I don't know what's happened to it since I don't
- 19:38Speaker 3: know if it's gone up yet, but I'll check before
- 19:40Speaker 3: the end of the week when I when I have
- 19:42Speaker 3: to go home, so to see if I guess up again. So, yeah,
- 19:46Speaker 3: a gas prices were jumping up, And like you said,
- 19:48Speaker 3: I understand some extent supply and demand. But yeah, Newsom
- 19:54Speaker 3: is an idiot to in most most democrats. Most Democrats,
- 19:59Speaker 3: when they get up on their soapbox, they prove how
- 20:01Speaker 3: much they're idiots, and especially the people who have some
- 20:05Speaker 3: common sense and realize, hey, what you're doing is taking
- 20:09Speaker 3: more money out of my pocket. You're already taking money
- 20:12Speaker 3: out of my pocket to just run the government in general.
- 20:16Speaker 3: And I get some of it's necessary, but your ridiculous
- 20:20Speaker 3: ideas that you come up with, you know. And the
- 20:23Speaker 3: funny thing is is when they say we are going
- 20:27Speaker 3: like at we the government, we're gonna put money into
- 20:30Speaker 3: this to make it more affordable for you, the money
- 20:34Speaker 3: that you're putting into it is coming out of my pocket.
- 20:37Speaker 3: Use supple ahead, so you're not making it cheaper for me.
- 20:41Speaker 3: You're making you're trying to make it look like you're
- 20:45Speaker 3: doing something to help me, when all the while you're
- 20:47Speaker 3: taking more money out of my pocket. Leave my pocket alone. Okay,
- 20:52Speaker 3: you get what you need to run your government, but
- 20:55Speaker 3: otherwise anything else, you're just stealing from me unnecessarily. And
- 20:59Speaker 3: it's out of stop and that, and that's the bottom
- 21:02Speaker 3: line for everybody. All the people out there that think,
- 21:05Speaker 3: oh raw rod Democrats and they're the ones out there
- 21:08Speaker 3: that care and help us, No they're not. They're the
- 21:11Speaker 3: ones out there doing more of taking your money and
- 21:14Speaker 3: using it for stupid stuff. And then and and everything
- 21:18Speaker 3: they do makes things more expensive for you, not not
- 21:21Speaker 3: to mention more dangerous for you. I mean, so it's
- 21:24Speaker 3: it's dumb. It's dumb to vote for Democrats. People don't
- 21:28Speaker 3: vote Democrats. Have a great day, Ran.
- 21:31Speaker 1: Thank you Tom very much. Appreciate that.
- 21:34Speaker 2: Who can argue with.
- 21:35Speaker 1: That requested SoundBite by me? Thank you Joe Strecker for
- 21:38Speaker 1: making good on my request. There five thirty five I
- 21:41Speaker 1: fifty five kr CD talk station stack is stupid coming
- 21:44Speaker 1: up five forty if if you have KRCD talk station
- 21:49Speaker 1: stacka stupid late updated the stack of stupid. They get
- 21:53Speaker 1: to Joe's tracker for shooting me over the photograph of
- 21:56Speaker 1: Cincinnati or SINSI rather on track your railroad dollars at work.
- 22:00Speaker 1: They're putting up signage to tout the projects they're doing so.
- 22:03Speaker 1: In this particular post from the City of Cincinnati, City
- 22:05Speaker 1: on Track signage is popping up and East probably still
- 22:09Speaker 1: receive the first batch of signage, which showcases projects funded
- 22:13Speaker 1: by the proceeds from the cell of the Cincinnati Southern Railroad.
- 22:15Speaker 1: More are coming soon to highlight how the city is
- 22:17Speaker 1: delivering visible improvements across the city. Well, they're delivering visible signage.
- 22:24Speaker 1: This particular project, the Warsaw Avenue Safety project. It even
- 22:29Speaker 1: has the project cost right there, ten nine hundred and
- 22:32Speaker 1: seventy six thousand, four hundred and sixty dollars and five cents.
- 22:38Speaker 1: That little rounding era on the end. You think they'd
- 22:40Speaker 1: rounded it up or down anyway. Question. This is a
- 22:43Speaker 1: this I suppose if they're playing by the rules, this
- 22:46Speaker 1: particular Warsaw Avenue safety project, and I don't know what
- 22:49Speaker 1: it entails. Joe thinks maybe it's speed bumps, assuming and
- 22:54Speaker 1: that's a big assumption, or presuming its related existing infrastructure.
- 23:01Speaker 1: Are the signs, which obviously have to be paid for
- 23:04Speaker 1: considered existing infrastructure? Yeah, I know they're Definitionally they wouldn't be,
- 23:10Speaker 1: but at least she get a sign, Thanks dad, Love
- 23:13Speaker 1: you man. Let's go here to it looks like Arizona,
- 23:18Speaker 1: where a woman stabbed a train rider more than a
- 23:20Speaker 1: dozen times after the victim allegedly started fighting with her.
- 23:24Speaker 1: Why are you doing that, Alante Wallace? She's thirty four.
- 23:28Speaker 1: She's charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for
- 23:30Speaker 1: a stabbing that took place on February twelfth, accord to
- 23:34Speaker 1: the probable cause off at Affidavid rather, Wallace plunged a
- 23:38Speaker 1: steak knife into forty two year old woman at least
- 23:41Speaker 1: fourteen times, then returned to her seat, picked up a
- 23:46Speaker 1: pizza pizza box. She was carrying her Dexter's Laboratory cartoon
- 23:51Speaker 1: backpack and left incident. You know What's coming caught on
- 23:57Speaker 1: interior surveillance video. Affi David said Wallace seen leaving the
- 24:04Speaker 1: light railcar, hold of the knife in a right hand,
- 24:05Speaker 1: pizza box in the left, and carrying a white backpack. Backpack,
- 24:09Speaker 1: of course, depicted the cartoon character Dexter's Laboratory. She's thirty four,
- 24:14Speaker 1: okay what anyway? Apparently, she and the victim were observed
- 24:18Speaker 1: by witnesses engaging in a verbal confrontation that escalated into
- 24:21Speaker 1: a physical fight. According to the police, One witness reported
- 24:24Speaker 1: hearing the victim confront the suspect verbally before us the
- 24:27Speaker 1: assault a cord of the affidavit. During the physical struggle,
- 24:30Speaker 1: witnesses observed the suspect retrieving knife described as a stake knife,
- 24:34Speaker 1: and stabbed the victim repeatedly at close range. They say
- 24:38Speaker 1: Wallace stabbed the woman several times in her left thigh,
- 24:40Speaker 1: once in the right thigh, once in the left breast, twice,
- 24:43Speaker 1: in the left forearm, once in the right abdomen, once
- 24:45Speaker 1: in the left armpit twice in her jaw, described as
- 24:48Speaker 1: life threatening injuries. Several of the several of the stabs
- 24:52Speaker 1: were when the suspect was standing over the victim, who
- 24:54Speaker 1: was laying on her back in a defensive posture, with
- 24:57Speaker 1: the suspect using an overhead to downward stabbing motion. I
- 25:03Speaker 1: think you've resisted any attack that you might have perceived, ma'am.
- 25:07Speaker 1: You cannot continue using deadly violence when the attack has
- 25:10Speaker 1: been stopped. After the fight and fleeing, Wallace contacted a
- 25:17Speaker 1: defense attorney and then agree to turn herself in. Her
- 25:19Speaker 1: attorney stated that his client was in the was at
- 25:22Speaker 1: the light rail and was attacked, in which she defended
- 25:26Speaker 1: herself and then left the right light rail in shock
- 25:31Speaker 1: and apparently didn't want to provide any further statements peered
- 25:34Speaker 1: in court. Her lawyer again claims she committed the stabbing
- 25:36Speaker 1: attack and self defense, draw your own conclusions. Wasn't in
- 25:42Speaker 1: front of Judge Silverstein and here in Hamilton County. She
- 25:44Speaker 1: was order held on three hundred and fifty thousand dollars bond.
- 25:49Speaker 1: Here y'all day, Welcome to the morning show. Happy Tuesday
- 25:54Speaker 1: to you, Dave.
- 25:57Speaker 5: I I was just going to say the money that
- 26:00Speaker 5: they're using the railroad funds for is give the people
- 26:04Speaker 5: Cincinnati something to shoot at instead of each other, or.
- 26:11Speaker 1: To spray paint with graffiti. Right, Dave, there's that option
- 26:13Speaker 1: with a sign, right.
- 26:15Speaker 4: Are it's important art?
- 26:18Speaker 1: Maybe they'll get a grant.
- 26:20Speaker 5: Okay, well there you go thinking outside the box.
- 26:23Speaker 1: You you know what, Well done, Dave good Man.
- 26:26Speaker 5: You know don't don't vote Democrat.
- 26:29Speaker 1: I like that. Thank you, Dave. I have a great day, brother,
- 26:32Speaker 1: five forty five if you five car se DE talk
- 26:33Speaker 1: station od O r XIT otor exit doc station five
- 26:42Speaker 1: fifty fifty five kr CD talk station. Very happy Tuesday
- 26:46Speaker 1: to you. Returning to the sack of stupid the absence
- 26:49Speaker 1: of phone calls, which our absent right now five one
- 26:52Speaker 1: three seven fifty five eight hundred two three talk. When
- 26:55Speaker 1: are you gonna learn? You're doing something illegal, immoral and
- 26:59Speaker 1: unethical and some would describe as rather disgusting. We shouldn't
- 27:02Speaker 1: probably document it with a whole bunch of text messages.
- 27:04Speaker 1: And here we got to form a son, the son
- 27:07Speaker 1: of a former small town mayor, claiming he caught his
- 27:09Speaker 1: mom having sex with his sixteen year old friend at
- 27:12Speaker 1: a late night pool party. What forty three year old
- 27:17Speaker 1: Misty Roberts, former important Word mayor of Deritter, Louisiana, out
- 27:21Speaker 1: charge with a third degree rate contributing to the delinquency
- 27:24Speaker 1: of juveniles over a twenty twenty four gathering at her home.
- 27:27Speaker 1: She pleaded not guilty and involved with a second trial.
- 27:30Speaker 1: The first one was a mistrial. Jurors heard from Robert's
- 27:33Speaker 1: own children in this trial. Her ex husband, longtime friend,
- 27:35Speaker 1: a door dash driver, and multiple teenagers were all there
- 27:38Speaker 1: for the pool party. One of the most emotional moments,
- 27:41Speaker 1: the interview of Robert's son that was recorded prior year,
- 27:46Speaker 1: played entirely for the jury, where her son said he
- 27:48Speaker 1: saw his mom having sex with his friend through a
- 27:51Speaker 1: crack in the window. His text message between mom and
- 27:55Speaker 1: her son displayed in court. In one he warned her
- 27:59Speaker 1: he's seventy authorities that have pointed out no, he was
- 28:01Speaker 1: actually sixteen. Her son testified he was not certain that
- 28:05Speaker 1: he saw Roberts, although the testimony that was recorded said
- 28:09Speaker 1: he definitely saw her through the crack in the door.
- 28:12Speaker 1: He was trying to backpedal a little bit in court.
- 28:14Speaker 1: Other texts warning shown to jurors included exchanges about what
- 28:19Speaker 1: alcohol they wanted for the party. Messages from that night
- 28:22Speaker 1: also showed the son telling his mom that what was
- 28:25Speaker 1: happening was crazy and that his younger sister was crying
- 28:29Speaker 1: about it. Juror showed it because they're idiots. Great parenting
- 28:35Speaker 1: going on there. Jurors also showing photographs from the party,
- 28:37Speaker 1: including images of miners holding drinks near the pool. Prosecuted
- 28:41Speaker 1: to describe what are the images of Roberts in a
- 28:43Speaker 1: bikini standing near the teen who appeared to be smiling
- 28:46Speaker 1: and looking up her and looking up at her as
- 28:49Speaker 1: lewde Court also heard that after the legend kund of
- 28:53Speaker 1: the teams, the teen's mother, the abused sixteen year old
- 28:57Speaker 1: teen's mother texted Roberts to end sure that she was
- 29:01Speaker 1: not pregnant. Prosecutor said Roberts reply that she was on
- 29:05Speaker 1: birth control and that later she shared a screenshot of
- 29:07Speaker 1: an exchange in the group chat suggesting she would also
- 29:10Speaker 1: take a plan be enter the door dash driver who
- 29:14Speaker 1: testified that he accepted a request from Misty C to
- 29:19Speaker 1: purchase emergency contraception and leave it at Robert's front door.
- 29:23Speaker 1: As this tradition, Robert's ex husband told jurors she confessed
- 29:27Speaker 1: to him directly. She resigned his mayor days before her
- 29:31Speaker 1: twenty twenty four arrest bond conditions. Illstenally initially limited her
- 29:34Speaker 1: contact with her children without her ex husband present and
- 29:39Speaker 1: revoked child support. On so many levels, Joe, so many levels.
- 29:49Speaker 1: Toledo got a Toledo man involved in an alleged skiing
- 29:51Speaker 1: to poses a law enforcement to protect his girlfriend's bar job.
- 29:55Speaker 1: Who's now accused of attempted murder? Wh Why are you
- 29:58Speaker 1: doing that? Let's find out together. Kenneth Upchurch and Amanda Lancaster,
- 30:02Speaker 1: both forty one indicted, Both charged with the impersonation of
- 30:05Speaker 1: a peace officer and telecommunications fraud. Cord to the documents,
- 30:08Speaker 1: the couple sent several text messages in an email to
- 30:10Speaker 1: Lancaster's boss at the Old Bag of Nails restaurant, posing
- 30:16Speaker 1: as the woman's probation officer and asking her supervisor to
- 30:19Speaker 1: excuse her for being late to work. Officers said the
- 30:22Speaker 1: couple sent the fraudulent messages because they were worried the
- 30:25Speaker 1: Lancaster would be fired for not showing up on time.
- 30:28Speaker 1: Up Church also facing charges of attempted murder and felonius
- 30:31Speaker 1: assault for an alleged incident that happened at the Old
- 30:34Speaker 1: Bag of Nales parking lot a week later, November sixteenth,
- 30:37Speaker 1: The manager of the restaurant reportedly seeing Upchurch using a
- 30:40Speaker 1: tool to cut the brake line of the motorcycle she
- 30:43Speaker 1: had driven to work that day. Multiple other employees Thomson
- 30:47Speaker 1: what Old officers they also saw up Church cut the
- 30:50Speaker 1: brake line. Records show the manager reported having multiple issues
- 30:54Speaker 1: with Lancaster and Upton, causing issues with staff at the
- 30:58Speaker 1: at the restaurant. Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots. Yes,
- 31:05Speaker 1: And finally, here in Ohio, specifically Summit County, women arrested
- 31:09Speaker 1: after she allegedly stolen ambulance from an Acron scene. Akron
- 31:13Speaker 1: firefighters and crews called out to a medical call. When
- 31:18Speaker 1: they were there evaluated the patient, the suspect jumped into
- 31:21Speaker 1: the ambulance and drove away. Another ambulance immediately sent to
- 31:24Speaker 1: the scene, and of course, the police were called. Shortly
- 31:27Speaker 1: after two am, police found the stolen ambulance a couple
- 31:29Speaker 1: of blocks away in the parking lot of a former
- 31:32Speaker 1: chapel Hill mall woman taking it to custody without incident,
- 31:34Speaker 1: charge with grand theft, misconduct and an emergency and disrupting
- 31:38Speaker 1: public service. Her name yet to be released, You moron,
- 31:43Speaker 1: you know, and that's one of those things. Why five
- 31:48Speaker 1: and five five k see the talk station. A lot
- 31:51Speaker 1: more coming up in the six o'clock hour. If you
- 31:53Speaker 1: want to steer the direction. There's like nine billion places
- 31:55Speaker 1: we could go this morning. I've selected one or two,
- 31:58Speaker 1: but you may have a better idea five one, three, seven,
- 32:01Speaker 1: fifty eight hundred eighty two to three talk pound five
- 32:04Speaker 1: fifty on AT and T phones to be right back.
- 32:06Speaker 1: We put the app in Happening the talk station to
- 32:13Speaker 1: fifty five KRC, the talk station, Happy Tuesday. My name
- 32:17Speaker 1: is Brian Thomas, host to the fifty five KRC Morning Show,
- 32:19Speaker 1: Executive producer. This show is Joe Strecker. Without him, there
- 32:22Speaker 1: wouldn't be one and got some great topics coming up
- 32:25Speaker 1: this morning. I was talking about the price of gasoline
- 32:27Speaker 1: has already gone up in our area thanks to the
- 32:29Speaker 1: Gulf War that's going on right now. Of course that
- 32:32Speaker 1: was expected for a lot of reasons, but the energy
- 32:34Speaker 1: policies of the Democrats are coming home to roost on them.
- 32:37Speaker 1: As I pointed out, even New York's mayor, our governor
- 32:39Speaker 1: is now trying to roll back their green agenda because
- 32:42Speaker 1: it's going to send the price of fuel and gasoline
- 32:46Speaker 1: and natural gas in their state through the roof ah
- 32:49Speaker 1: and November elections coming up. Why would she back off
- 32:52Speaker 1: green policies. That's because there's election coming up. Democrats running
- 32:55Speaker 1: almost exclusively on affordability. It isn't affordable there and the
- 33:00Speaker 1: primary reason because they think carbon dioxide is killing the world. Okay,
- 33:06Speaker 1: but when elections are coming up and your constituents starts
- 33:09Speaker 1: screaming about the price, you want to do something that
- 33:13Speaker 1: will immediately have an impact, and that is, of course,
- 33:16Speaker 1: stop pursuing your religion, your false religion, and roll back
- 33:21Speaker 1: the dumb idea of trying to get rid of carbon
- 33:23Speaker 1: dioxide completely within the next decade or so. That's them, Okay. Anyway,
- 33:27Speaker 1: moving forward, Coming up at seven thirty, Tom z Awastowski
- 33:30Speaker 1: we the People Conventions. Tom's going to talk about what
- 33:32Speaker 1: happened when No More Property Tax group met with Vveke Ramaswami.
- 33:37Speaker 1: Don't know the answer to that question. We'll see a
- 33:39Speaker 1: VvE VVIS on board or not also property tax, the
- 33:43Speaker 1: polling in Ohio and which direction the Ohiolands seem to
- 33:46Speaker 1: be leaning in terms of getting rid of property tax.
- 33:49Speaker 1: Remember that's a constitutional amendment, so lots of challenges in
- 33:52Speaker 1: the aftermath of that, as we've talked about many times
- 33:54Speaker 1: on the Morning show. And going to have a good
- 33:56Speaker 1: conversation with Tom at seven thirty he'll enlighten all of us.
- 33:59Speaker 1: Eight to five, the return of the Inside Scoop with
- 34:01Speaker 1: bright Barton News London Bureau chief Oliver Lane. What's with
- 34:05Speaker 1: the United Kingdom's response to the situation in the Middle
- 34:08Speaker 1: East and finally actually not finally apologized Daniel Davis Deep
- 34:12Speaker 1: Dive every Tuesday at eight thirty. Of course, we're going
- 34:14Speaker 1: to be talking about Iran and a big worry right
- 34:17Speaker 1: now as has been reported, given the number of interceptors
- 34:21Speaker 1: that they're going through that will be Israel, all of
- 34:24Speaker 1: the Arab countries surrounding it that have been suppried with
- 34:27Speaker 1: interceptors that are also being attacked oddly by the Iranians.
- 34:31Speaker 1: Of course, the military bases all have their interceptors, as
- 34:34Speaker 1: a finite number of those going around and the barrage
- 34:37Speaker 1: of rockets coming from the Iranians is pretty overwhelming. I mean,
- 34:41Speaker 1: the United Arab Emirates alone said yesterday that it has
- 34:45Speaker 1: been targeted by one hundred and seventy four Iranian ballistic missiles,
- 34:50Speaker 1: eight cruise missiles, and count them, six hundred and eighty
- 34:54Speaker 1: nine drones over the course of just three days. No
- 34:58Speaker 1: missiles and only forty four drones hit their country. But
- 35:00Speaker 1: the no missiles hit because they have the interceptors, and
- 35:03Speaker 1: now we're worried that they're going to run out of them.
- 35:05Speaker 1: How many missiles do the Iranians have? How many drones
- 35:07Speaker 1: do the Iranian have? Do the Iranians have? Good question.
- 35:11Speaker 1: Some are saying they had more than two thousand missiles,
- 35:14Speaker 1: many of which may have been blown up over the
- 35:16Speaker 1: course of the last several days. I don't think anybody
- 35:18Speaker 1: knows the number of that, and how many drones do
- 35:20Speaker 1: they have. Those are inexpensive, and the interceptors that we
- 35:23Speaker 1: are shooting them down with are really, really expensive, and
- 35:27Speaker 1: of course the manufacturers of those interceptors cannot keep up
- 35:30Speaker 1: with global demand. Think of every single base and country
- 35:36Speaker 1: just within that conflict is going to need those interceptors,
- 35:39Speaker 1: and we can't afford to take all of interceptors out
- 35:41Speaker 1: of circulation around the globe and send them there because
- 35:43Speaker 1: it leaves everybody else vulnerable. Very complicated, and I'm looking
- 35:47Speaker 1: forward to hearing what Daniel Davis has to say about that,
- 35:49Speaker 1: and also whether he has any optimism, notwithstanding the fact
- 35:52Speaker 1: that some are still suggesting this is a I mean
- 35:55Speaker 1: war powers act of course, the declaration of war vested
- 35:59Speaker 1: in Congress. What's going to happen if they do a
- 36:01Speaker 1: war powers resolution? Are they going to pull the plug immediately?
- 36:06Speaker 1: Difficult situation. But the other thing I want, I just
- 36:11Speaker 1: wanted to where is that here? It is go back
- 36:14Speaker 1: to energy policy, and I thought this was this is
- 36:16Speaker 1: great as a foil to the crazy Democrats. The drill, Baby, drill.
- 36:21Speaker 1: All the above energy strategy has actually not only helped us,
- 36:23Speaker 1: but has also helped the globe, most notably in dealing
- 36:27Speaker 1: with our foreign adversaries China and Russia. As they point out,
- 36:30Speaker 1: Cutters shut down its national gas export production yesterday, this
- 36:34Speaker 1: after a drone attack from Iran. Global prices for LNG
- 36:37Speaker 1: Looqua natural gas shot up as a consequence, but not
- 36:41Speaker 1: nearly as much as they might have thanks to America's
- 36:44Speaker 1: LNG export boom over the past decade. They're right, success
- 36:49Speaker 1: that deserves more publicity, which is why I'm pointing this out,
- 36:52Speaker 1: especially since the progressive left wants to literally shut down
- 36:55Speaker 1: exports of LNG. For decades, we were a importer of
- 37:01Speaker 1: natural gas. The boom and shelle and fracking that began
- 37:04Speaker 1: back in the mid two thousands unleashed cheap and abundant
- 37:07Speaker 1: natural gas. There's one company out there called Cheneray. I
- 37:09Speaker 1: think it's a pronouncing it right. They took the risk
- 37:12Speaker 1: of converting what had been an LNG import facility into
- 37:15Speaker 1: an export facility in twenty sixteen. They started exporting from
- 37:19Speaker 1: the lower forty eight States to foreign countries in February
- 37:23Speaker 1: of that year, and more companies have joined in the fun.
- 37:26Speaker 1: Now we have eight LNG export terminals which ship roughly
- 37:31Speaker 1: roughly fifteen billion cubic feet a day, described as enough
- 37:36Speaker 1: gas to heat eighteen million homes during the winter daily.
- 37:41Speaker 1: We've surpassed Australia, Connor and Russia and have now become
- 37:45Speaker 1: the world's top LNG exporter, to great financial gain. I
- 37:49Speaker 1: might point out to get to that in a minute.
- 37:51Speaker 1: The Biden administration last year or in twenty twenty four
- 37:54Speaker 1: sought to appease the climate left with an LNG export
- 37:57Speaker 1: permitting pause, obviously creating uncertainty and slow the development of
- 38:02Speaker 1: new projects. See actions have consequences. Their policies result in
- 38:07Speaker 1: oh look, slowing down this process. Trump lifted the ban
- 38:12Speaker 1: Energy Department rapidly approving new terminals and expansions, including one
- 38:16Speaker 1: last week in Corpus Christi, Texas. USLNG exports surged forty
- 38:21Speaker 1: percent last year, capacity projected to be doubled by twenty
- 38:25Speaker 1: thirty one. Boy, we got a lot of natural gas,
- 38:29Speaker 1: don't we. USLNG exports now total about one hundred and
- 38:33Speaker 1: fifty million dollars in sales every single day, which of
- 38:37Speaker 1: course is an economic boost that's benefited businesses across the
- 38:40Speaker 1: United States supply chain. It's also helped here you go
- 38:43Speaker 1: the help Europe wean itself from Russian gas after Vladimir
- 38:46Speaker 1: Putin's invasion of Ukraine. You want to deal with the
- 38:50Speaker 1: war in Ukraine. Cut off the source of funding. We
- 38:54Speaker 1: help Europe wean itself off Russian natural gas. Well, Europe
- 38:57Speaker 1: screens bloody murder about we need to do something about
- 38:59Speaker 1: the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Yeah, we'll quit funding it
- 39:03Speaker 1: entered the United States of America. Europe's share of USLNG
- 39:08Speaker 1: exports have doubled his sixty eight percents sixty eight percent
- 39:12Speaker 1: since the war began. Now US exports about as much
- 39:16Speaker 1: gas to Europe as Russia did before the war. Increasing
- 39:20Speaker 1: exports has helped US ease global prices that spiked when
- 39:23Speaker 1: the war began. Lower prices have in turn given European
- 39:26Speaker 1: leaders political running room to toughened sanctions on Russia. Huh
- 39:33Speaker 1: without US, they couldn't, because Russia has a stranglehold on Europe.
- 39:38Speaker 1: Because Europe a bunch of idiots that think they don't
- 39:40Speaker 1: can't drill their own Sorry, had to interject Wall Street
- 39:44Speaker 1: Journal editorial board. Russian oil revenues last year fell to
- 39:49Speaker 1: the lowest level since twenty twenty, when prices plunged during
- 39:52Speaker 1: the pandemic. Sales have fallen by half during the first
- 39:55Speaker 1: two months of this year compared to last year, amid
- 39:57Speaker 1: tougher sanctions enforcement reduced exports thanks to US and lower prices.
- 40:03Speaker 1: All this is squeezing Rush's economy and budget forty percent,
- 40:09Speaker 1: which funds its military, hitting them right in the growing there.
- 40:14Speaker 1: US exports and employees to mitigate supply disruptions caused by
- 40:17Speaker 1: the war with Iran. Twenty percent of the world's LNG
- 40:20Speaker 1: transits through the straits of horn Mews, which yesterday the
- 40:23Speaker 1: Iranians say they shut down completely, and much of that
- 40:26Speaker 1: gas comes from cutter American exports have reduced Europeans Europe's
- 40:30Speaker 1: vulnerability to Middle East supply shocks. You're welcome, Europe. Despite
- 40:36Speaker 1: these economic and strategic benefits, progressives continue to oppose US
- 40:41Speaker 1: LNG exports. Turned to ten Democratic senators that wrote to
- 40:45Speaker 1: the Energy Secretary Chris Right last week calling for a
- 40:48Speaker 1: halt to LNG exports. The Trump administration's LNG export policies
- 40:55Speaker 1: are not putting America first. They have jacked up utility
- 40:57Speaker 1: prices for families, leaving many amata and struggling with the
- 41:00Speaker 1: cost of heating their homes this winter. Whoa really exports?
- 41:04Speaker 1: Did that? Huh? Turning back to Governor Hokeel turning her
- 41:09Speaker 1: back on a twenty nineteen piece of legislation that demanded
- 41:12Speaker 1: they get to zero carbon emissions by relying on solar
- 41:14Speaker 1: and wind i guess which are causing the New York
- 41:17Speaker 1: and the general Northeast regions gas prices to go through
- 41:20Speaker 1: the bloody roof. Maybe we shouldn't go down that road.
- 41:23Speaker 1: Maybe it's not our export policies. Maybe it's us We
- 41:27Speaker 1: won't even build a pipeline. Also pointed out by the
- 41:30Speaker 1: General here in a minute, The reality is prices rose
- 41:35Speaker 1: last year from a near record low in twenty twenty four.
- 41:38Speaker 1: Prices last week thirteen three dollars and thirteen three dollars
- 41:43Speaker 1: and thirteen cents per million BTUs, about the same as
- 41:46Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, and generally ranging between two and three dollars
- 41:50Speaker 1: per million BTUs over the entire last decade, aside from
- 41:55Speaker 1: one spike in twenty twenty two when Ukraine War disrupted
- 41:58Speaker 1: global supply, US gas production since increased by twenty percent,
- 42:01Speaker 1: which has curbed prices while feeding increased exports. Nine of
- 42:07Speaker 1: the ten letters signers notably held from the Northeast, where
- 42:10Speaker 1: gas prices are higher during the winter because of shortages
- 42:14Speaker 1: caused by constraints on natural gas pipelines. Thank you to
- 42:17Speaker 1: the green energy policies. The culprit isn't LNG exports. It's
- 42:23Speaker 1: the anti fossil fuel policies of Democrat governors who block
- 42:27Speaker 1: pipelines that could transport cheap gas from Appalachia's Shelle deposits.
- 42:32Speaker 1: In the Northeast, They're sitting on billions and billions of
- 42:36Speaker 1: cubic feed of natural gas. It's right next to them,
- 42:39Speaker 1: Pennsylvania's great source of natural gas. They've been drilling it
- 42:42Speaker 1: for years. What the Northeast states don't want it now?
- 42:47Speaker 1: Apparently they don't. Why Well, because it's fossil fuel and
- 42:50Speaker 1: that is bad or something limiting lergy exports won't reduce
- 42:58Speaker 1: domestic energy prices, though it could press natural gas production
- 43:02Speaker 1: is what the left really wants. American leg is writing
- 43:05Speaker 1: to the Rescue of the World at COMME in today
- 43:08Speaker 1: and it's another example of why political choices matter. Yep.
- 43:11Speaker 1: And in November they have a choice. In New York
- 43:13Speaker 1: you want to stick with Hochel and her crazy policies.
- 43:15Speaker 1: Do you believe her when she wants to roll back
- 43:17Speaker 1: that twenty nineteen law they passed there? I wouldn't how
- 43:23Speaker 1: many years has she been talking about We're all gonna
- 43:25Speaker 1: die because of carbon dioxide only to just now pivot
- 43:30Speaker 1: because I think her constituents are expressing a bit of
- 43:34Speaker 1: anger about what's going on now and the thousands of
- 43:38Speaker 1: dollars they are facing in increases in gas as well
- 43:41Speaker 1: as gasoline in the near term. Six eighteen fifty five
- 43:46Speaker 1: K see the talk station Gate of Heaven's Cemetery. What
- 43:49Speaker 1: a beautiful place they've been serving the Cincinnti Christian community
- 43:51Speaker 1: for I guess seventy eight years.
- 43:54Speaker 6: The talk station.
- 43:58Speaker 1: Fifty five Karsite talks very Happy Tuesday or Tuesday to
- 44:01Speaker 1: you fifty eight two to three talk found five fifty
- 44:06Speaker 1: on AT and T phones. Ask some good news from
- 44:08Speaker 1: the Supreme Court yesterday. It was a split decision, but
- 44:11Speaker 1: parents likely it's not over yet, likely have a constitutional
- 44:15Speaker 1: right to be informed of their children if they adopt
- 44:17Speaker 1: new pronouns, use a different name, or take steps to
- 44:21Speaker 1: transition to a new gender identity while at school. You
- 44:23Speaker 1: have a right to know. Unsigned seven page opinion decided
- 44:28Speaker 1: on its emergency doc It said you know when a
- 44:31Speaker 1: child exhibits symptoms of gendertice for you at school. California
- 44:33Speaker 1: policies conceal the information from parents and facilitated degree of
- 44:37Speaker 1: gender transitioning during school hours. These policies likely violate the
- 44:41Speaker 1: parent's right to direct the upbringing and education of their children.
- 44:46Speaker 1: Likely first, the two rulings on the emergency dock at
- 44:51Speaker 1: the Court dealt with yesterday Separate one Congratulations Republicans in
- 44:55Speaker 1: New York. They halted an effort to redraw the congressional
- 44:58Speaker 1: district in New York after a judge found that the
- 45:00Speaker 1: existing boundaries dilute the power of black and Latino voters.
- 45:05Speaker 1: That decision reverse. Now, this California case was a state
- 45:08Speaker 1: policy that allowed transgender students to socially transition in school
- 45:13Speaker 1: without the parents being automatically notified. Supreme Court ruling yesterday
- 45:18Speaker 1: bars the state from enforcing the policy while the litigation
- 45:21Speaker 1: over its legality is it continues. So again, Fat Lady
- 45:25Speaker 1: hasn't sung on the overall issue. But I think the
- 45:27Speaker 1: Supreme Court in addressing this in their emergency docket, which
- 45:31Speaker 1: did get Justice Kagan a little upset, you know the
- 45:36Speaker 1: direction they're going to go when it's finally adjudicated in
- 45:38Speaker 1: front of the Supreme Court. Kagan said in her dissent
- 45:41Speaker 1: that the majority is using shortcut procedures on the emergency
- 45:45Speaker 1: docket to resolve complex legal questions without full briefing or arguments.
- 45:51Speaker 1: That may be the case, but you know, there is
- 45:55Speaker 1: a thing called likelihood of success on the merits, which
- 45:58Speaker 1: is used when dealing with preliminary and junct will, the
- 46:01Speaker 1: judge determines whether or not the person seeking the injunction
- 46:04Speaker 1: is likely to win. That's telegraphing what the ultimate outcome is,
- 46:08Speaker 1: and that sounds to me exactly what the Supreme Court
- 46:11Speaker 1: did yesterday on it's emergency docket. Parents, you have the
- 46:15Speaker 1: right in California. Can't take that right away from you, Amen,
- 46:20Speaker 1: and making that another argument for school choice. I imagine
- 46:25Speaker 1: there are a lot of schools out there beyond the
- 46:27Speaker 1: public schools, which have a policy which requires teachers to
- 46:31Speaker 1: identify two parents when their children start claiming there's someone
- 46:35Speaker 1: of the opposite sex, recognizing that you cannot change your
- 46:39Speaker 1: chromosomal reality, and surgery won't do it either. Six twenty five.
- 46:43Speaker 1: Right now, if you five k see the talk station.
- 46:46Speaker 1: What a great, great product, Rhinoshield is.
- 46:49Speaker 6: Here the talk station.
- 46:54Speaker 1: Thirty fifty five KRCD talk station. Ain't it be Tuesday?
- 46:58Speaker 1: Five three eighty two to three talks special request from Streker.
- 47:02Speaker 1: Hey get a couple of these local stories and Jay's
- 47:04Speaker 1: on the phone. Jay, hang on real quick here because
- 47:06Speaker 1: reparations may be coming too. The city of Cincinnati made
- 47:09Speaker 1: national headlines this time Fox News National Reporting, and I
- 47:12Speaker 1: saw this in the I believe The enquire the other
- 47:13Speaker 1: day as well. It matters not since a city council
- 47:16Speaker 1: will consider a reparations housing program Cincinnati real Property Reparations program,
- 47:25Speaker 1: that's the name of it, proposal from Vice Mayor Jehn
- 47:27Speaker 1: michel lemon Kearney and Scottie Johnson, councilman. Program allegedly will
- 47:32Speaker 1: offer assistance to what they describe as low to moderate
- 47:35Speaker 1: income residents and any individual or family member of an
- 47:39Speaker 1: individual who was prevented from buying a home due to
- 47:42Speaker 1: discriminatory practices. Well, this apparently relates to a housing policy
- 47:49Speaker 1: that this is the way it's reported from the nineteen twenties,
- 47:51Speaker 1: a discrimination We did have those those zones that it's
- 47:57Speaker 1: apparently the city's real estate board forbid agents from selling
- 48:01Speaker 1: or renting homes to black residents in white or suburban
- 48:04Speaker 1: neighborhoods at the time. Which is why I say, I'm
- 48:07Speaker 1: going back to the language and the verbiage of the
- 48:09Speaker 1: reparation statute that it means it's for individuals who were
- 48:14Speaker 1: prevented from buying a home. And I don't think anybody's
- 48:17Speaker 1: been around more than one hundred years that might have
- 48:19Speaker 1: to have dealt with the nineteen twenties discrimination policy. I
- 48:22Speaker 1: don't know though, But then again, or family member of
- 48:26Speaker 1: one of those, Now, how far down the generational change
- 48:29Speaker 1: does that go? I don't know that either. Anyway, They
- 48:32Speaker 1: claim it's initial investment, if you want to use that word,
- 48:38Speaker 1: of five million dollars using proceeds from the marijuana tax
- 48:42Speaker 1: revenue and the city's capital budget, because I guess the
- 48:44Speaker 1: marijuana proceeds aren't enough that accorded reporting from the enquire
- 48:50Speaker 1: the program allegedly will be targeting residents in fifteen of
- 48:54Speaker 1: the city's fifty two neighborhoods. Wait for that to expand,
- 48:58Speaker 1: because remember this is an initial investment. So we'll get
- 49:01Speaker 1: to the other two the rest of the neighborhoods later.
- 49:03Speaker 1: We're going to start with the fifteen that I suppose
- 49:05Speaker 1: we randomly selected, would allow recipients to use the money
- 49:09Speaker 1: for a down payment paid the link when property taxes
- 49:12Speaker 1: or emergency home repairs are we a wash in cash, Joe.
- 49:19Speaker 1: This is a new development for me. All right, Jay,
- 49:23Speaker 1: welcome to the Morning Show. Thanks for calling this morning.
- 49:26Speaker 1: Always good to hear from you.
- 49:27Speaker 7: Okay, good morning, Brian. Hey, speaking of being a wash
- 49:30Speaker 7: in cash, My my question is, and what I've been
- 49:33Speaker 7: listening for, is are we going to get reimbursed we
- 49:36Speaker 7: us in the American people finally for fixing the world's problems.
- 49:41Speaker 7: And let's start with the three F fifteen fighter jets
- 49:45Speaker 7: that got shot down by cash rich KUWAITI yeah, frankly
- 49:50Speaker 7: for the yeah, yes, unacceptable. So I want the jets
- 49:56Speaker 7: paid for more importantly any anything, but those pilo its
- 50:00Speaker 7: need to rest in their families the rest of their lives.
- 50:03Speaker 7: They pay for it. The five casualties were up to
- 50:06Speaker 7: this point. I want those cash rich countries around Iran
- 50:10Speaker 7: to pay for it, and maybe Iran itself. Well, I
- 50:13Speaker 7: did some quick research. They have eighteen million men of
- 50:17Speaker 7: fighting age that could have got up off their ass
- 50:19Speaker 7: at any point and taken this on a country. Let's
- 50:22Speaker 7: say there's one thousand leaders and eighteen million people that
- 50:26Speaker 7: could have solved their own problems. But Europe, the Middle East,
- 50:31Speaker 7: all these interceptor missiles. If we pay for every dollar
- 50:35Speaker 7: we paid Lockheed Martin, I want one hundred dollars back
- 50:37Speaker 7: to pay off this thirty six trillion dollar debt, and
- 50:40Speaker 7: I would say that that's a pretty good deal because
- 50:42Speaker 7: we paid for all the R and D, all the
- 50:45Speaker 7: engineering development programs to go on for years and years
- 50:48Speaker 7: and years and years before there's things go on to
- 50:51Speaker 7: market and we buy from them. So I'm hoping that
- 50:54Speaker 7: for the for one time, just once, we the American
- 50:58Speaker 7: people and the American military and everybody that takes a
- 51:02Speaker 7: loss of life here gets reimbursed richly from these countries
- 51:06Speaker 7: that made poor decisions resulting in US happened to go
- 51:10Speaker 7: in yet again and take care of the world's problems.
- 51:14Speaker 1: Well, I guess one may argue is that a two
- 51:16Speaker 1: way street because our military interventions, bombing and killing people
- 51:20Speaker 1: and that kind of thing haven't always worked out to
- 51:22Speaker 1: our advantage, like for example, and ignoring the predicate that
- 51:26Speaker 1: got us in there. But we did spend a lot
- 51:28Speaker 1: of money in a lot of years and killed a
- 51:29Speaker 1: lot of people, and pick a country, Afghanistan. We have
- 51:32Speaker 1: to pay back for the bombs and the missiles and
- 51:34Speaker 1: the loss of life that we inflicted upon them and
- 51:36Speaker 1: then turned tail and cowardly ran away or Vietnam.
- 51:41Speaker 3: I think that's a fair point.
- 51:42Speaker 1: Yeah, that's my point. That's fair point that maybe why
- 51:44Speaker 1: we don't do it, And I'll pivot over to just
- 51:46Speaker 1: suggest and I know the terriff reality and our ultimate
- 51:49Speaker 1: relationship with the NATO countries who rebuilt Europe after World
- 51:54Speaker 1: War Two. We spent a ton of money helping them out.
- 51:58Speaker 1: Why well was devastated, But we built trading partners. We
- 52:02Speaker 1: built an economic seemingly at least on some level of
- 52:06Speaker 1: free market, a system of countries over there that played
- 52:10Speaker 1: nicely with us for a long period of time and
- 52:12Speaker 1: also served as a wonderful foil for the threat posed
- 52:15Speaker 1: by the Soviet Union. So we got to benefit out
- 52:18Speaker 1: of that as well. So you got to look beyond
- 52:20Speaker 1: just mere dollars and cents and look at the long
- 52:22Speaker 1: term future. Now, thinking about the Middle East Abraham Accords,
- 52:26Speaker 1: those were done to secure economic cooperation and improvement of
- 52:30Speaker 1: the lives and cooperation among a bunch of countries in
- 52:33Speaker 1: the Middle East, this seems like a next step toward it.
- 52:36Speaker 1: You get rid of the crazy Iranians, you have created
- 52:38Speaker 1: a much more stable environment that's going to inure to
- 52:41Speaker 1: a lot of people's benefits, and I would think very
- 52:43Speaker 1: mightily financially for United States as well, since we're the
- 52:46Speaker 1: ones that helped out along the way.
- 52:48Speaker 7: Just the thought, Well, yeah, I would hope so. But
- 52:51Speaker 7: take a look at how grateful great Britain is for
- 52:54Speaker 7: us today.
- 52:54Speaker 1: Well, no, today, today we're generations from conquering the Germans
- 53:00Speaker 1: in the Japanese and World War Two. They'd remember it
- 53:03Speaker 1: if it was that generation, they'd remembered it. Now they're
- 53:05Speaker 1: a bunch of socialists, and don't forget they've been overrun
- 53:08Speaker 1: by a bunch of Middle Eastern fundamentalists who do not
- 53:11Speaker 1: have a witsworth of concern for British culture or the
- 53:14Speaker 1: fact that British culture owes the American people a lot
- 53:17Speaker 1: for World War Two. You know, it's a complicated world.
- 53:21Speaker 1: Opinions change, attitudes change. They weren't full on socialists when
- 53:25Speaker 1: we liberated them, and they weren't full on socialist after
- 53:28Speaker 1: we rebuilt them. They ended up going that direction, and
- 53:30Speaker 1: I would argue, to their peril, appreciate it. I would agree,
- 53:34Speaker 1: appreciate it. Jay, It's a good point, but it's a
- 53:37Speaker 1: lot more complicated than that. And those are the complications
- 53:39Speaker 1: they just pulled out of my sphincter here in the
- 53:41Speaker 1: last couple of seconds six point thirty seven fifty five
- 53:44Speaker 1: cares six forty two fifty five KRC detalk station Happy
- 53:50Speaker 1: Tuesday five one three seven fifty five hundred, eight hundred
- 53:55Speaker 1: eighty two to three talks pound five fifty on eight
- 53:57Speaker 1: T and T phones pivoting away from well lng to
- 54:00Speaker 1: the rescue price of gas going through the roof. Who's doing?
- 54:03Speaker 1: What about it? And what else are the Democrats proposing?
- 54:06Speaker 1: They Tom brought this up a little bit. I alluded
- 54:10Speaker 1: to it a little bit. I have just been so
- 54:13Speaker 1: beyond my beyond my understanding, kind of like the peace
- 54:16Speaker 1: of God, that we generally at least accept the idea
- 54:20Speaker 1: that it's acceptable to take money from people, most notably
- 54:24Speaker 1: the rich. This class warfare thing. Of course, it is
- 54:26Speaker 1: the foundation for socialism and Marxism. They've got more than you,
- 54:30Speaker 1: tapping into whatever God given reality we have that we
- 54:34Speaker 1: typically are born with some measure of covetousness and greed
- 54:38Speaker 1: and envy. Why is that part of the human condition?
- 54:41Speaker 1: Maybe it's part of our survival mechanism. If you are
- 54:43Speaker 1: greedy or envious, maybe you don't steal from somebody else
- 54:46Speaker 1: because that's a violation of society's rules, and maybe a
- 54:49Speaker 1: commandment or two. It means you got to do it yourself. Whatever.
- 54:53Speaker 1: I don't know what our genetic disposition is that call
- 54:55Speaker 1: it God's creation, but we do have to struggle with that.
- 54:58Speaker 1: And no one taps into that more than the socialists
- 55:00Speaker 1: and Marxist and no one more than socialists and Marxists
- 55:03Speaker 1: used your, maybe your Judeo Christian ethic to justify government
- 55:08Speaker 1: policies that reach into your pocket and literally steal from you.
- 55:14Speaker 1: But when you have a choice, you flee that. See California,
- 55:19Speaker 1: New York, and Illinois over the COVID nineteen thing. Obviously
- 55:22Speaker 1: I do I need to go back over the history
- 55:23Speaker 1: that they have literally lost hundreds of thousands of wealthy
- 55:26Speaker 1: people who can afford to move. I'll point that out
- 55:31Speaker 1: billions and billions of dollars in tax revenue. And here's
- 55:34Speaker 1: an interesting and almost comical one. California Padres were hoping
- 55:41Speaker 1: to secure Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Merrill Kelly. They offered him
- 55:45Speaker 1: forty million dollars for two years. Now, the Diamondbacks offered
- 55:52Speaker 1: him forty million dollars over three years.
- 55:57Speaker 4: Now.
- 55:57Speaker 1: Who did Merrill Kelly choose to go with? Yeah, he
- 56:01Speaker 1: took the three year option. When he explained his decision
- 56:07Speaker 1: he was speaking with me, he said, quote, I don't
- 56:09Speaker 1: think it's an easy any secret on how much money
- 56:13Speaker 1: you get taken out of your pocket when you go
- 56:15Speaker 1: to California. So apparently he did the math on this,
- 56:18Speaker 1: and given the onerous reality and the tax burden there
- 56:20Speaker 1: prus the fact that everything else is so much more
- 56:23Speaker 1: damn expensive in California, he figured working an extra year
- 56:27Speaker 1: for the same paycheck would work out to his advantage.
- 56:29Speaker 1: Probably living in Arizona's a hell of a lot more
- 56:31Speaker 1: fun than California too, but whatever, that's a subjective thing.
- 56:35Speaker 1: So there's one who decided he has an option, and wealth,
- 56:41Speaker 1: like the wealthy, is mobile, and both the wealth and
- 56:45Speaker 1: the wealthy are leaving California for the obvious reasons, pivoting
- 56:49Speaker 1: over now if you can't flee, Do you remember it
- 56:54Speaker 1: wasn't that long ago the United Nations wanted to impose
- 56:57Speaker 1: a global minimum tax on corporates. Talk about globalism. Everybody's
- 57:03Speaker 1: going to pay the same now, why do you think
- 57:05Speaker 1: they might want to do that? That's because corporations, like
- 57:08Speaker 1: individuals here in the United States, have freedom of movement.
- 57:10Speaker 1: They can go away someplace else. But if you have
- 57:14Speaker 1: a global tax structure that flattens it or levels it
- 57:17Speaker 1: out and makes it the same everywhere you go, that
- 57:19Speaker 1: prevents countries from competing against each other. One of the
- 57:21Speaker 1: reasons we are so damned successful in the United States
- 57:24Speaker 1: of America is because you here in the state of Ohio,
- 57:26Speaker 1: my friends in the Commonwealth, my friends in Indiana, my
- 57:29Speaker 1: friends everywhere else, Iowa, New York, and California are all
- 57:32Speaker 1: competing against each other. I know I'm stating the obvious,
- 57:36Speaker 1: and don't accuse me of man splinning. I'm just trying
- 57:38Speaker 1: to drive a solid point home before I launch into
- 57:41Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders, who appreciates that reality and is now proposing
- 57:46Speaker 1: a five percent billionaire wealth tax. Right, Senator Bernie Sanders,
- 57:51Speaker 1: this is a proposal nationally, a federal national tax which
- 57:56Speaker 1: we events billionaires from. Well, they could leave the country maybe,
- 57:58Speaker 1: but they couldn't leave for differ state. This tax will
- 58:01Speaker 1: follow them. And why does he want to do it?
- 58:04Speaker 1: He wants to buy votes. He and Representative Rocanna California
- 58:09Speaker 1: launched the bill yesterday, five percent annually on America's billionaire
- 58:14Speaker 1: Sanders claims there are nine hundred and thirty eight people
- 58:16Speaker 1: that will be impacted by this. Look at them, those
- 58:18Speaker 1: evil billionaires. You're never going to be one of them.
- 58:20Speaker 1: We should take what they've got in spite of the
- 58:23Speaker 1: fact they employ a lot of people. They claim it
- 58:26Speaker 1: would raise four point four trillion dollars over ten years. Well,
- 58:33Speaker 1: at least that's what University of California, Berkeley says. Now
- 58:36Speaker 1: here's the big question. What's he going to do with it?
- 58:39Speaker 1: Business insider letting us know flashyest proposal ready buying votes
- 58:44Speaker 1: at one time three thousand dollars direct payment to each
- 58:48Speaker 1: American singular in households making one hundred and fifty grand
- 58:52Speaker 1: or less annually. That will be twelve thousand dollars for
- 58:55Speaker 1: a family of four. Stealing from one group and handing
- 58:59Speaker 1: it to another. Well, because the one group's got more
- 59:02Speaker 1: than the other. That's not fair, it's sinful. Now get
- 59:07Speaker 1: a load of tod It's not just that. Here's what
- 59:11Speaker 1: else they want to fund with this. The recently expired
- 59:14Speaker 1: Affordable Care Act tax credits. Also to reverse cuts in
- 59:18Speaker 1: Medicaid made by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed
- 59:20Speaker 1: by Congress and acted into law. Expand Medicare to cover
- 59:23Speaker 1: dental vision and hearing for seniors, build, rehabilitate, and preserve
- 59:30Speaker 1: over seven million affordable homes, and sure families don't spend
- 59:36Speaker 1: more than seven percent of their income on childcare. If
- 59:38Speaker 1: you do, I guess you're gonna be eligible for a
- 59:40Speaker 1: slice of the billionaire's money. I think it's quickly running
- 59:42Speaker 1: out as I moved through this list. Establish a sixty
- 59:46Speaker 1: thousand dollars minimum annual salary for public school teachers. Oh
- 59:50Speaker 1: my god, is that not socialism? And everybody makes the
- 59:53Speaker 1: same minimum, doesn't matter if you live in an inexpensive city.
- 59:59Speaker 1: I mean, compare the price living for a teacher in
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: San Francisco versus one in pick A City, Poughkeepsie, Iowa.
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: I bet it's cheaper in Iowa. Everybody that is going
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: to get a sixty thousand dollar minimum salary. It's like
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: a national minimum wage cap. You know, it's twenty two
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: dollars across this great land. Yeah, twenty two dollars doesn't
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: go as far in New York City as it does
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: here in Cincinnati, for example. Expand mediciate home healthcare for
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: seniors and people with disabilities. You know how many retired
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: seniors there are out there now? It's a growing population.
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: You know how many are going to need home health care.
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: I don't think the four trillion dollars would even cover that.
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: And of course he took a shot at Elon Musk.
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: He's like the evil Orange man among the wealthy because
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: he well is now a Republican and is fighting for
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: conservative or maybe even libertarian policies. He's the world's richest man,
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: so of course he's an easy target. Let's go after
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: Elon Musk. He would owe forty two billion dollars in
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: taxes in the first year, so you can't run from
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders and Rokana. How about that six forty nine
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: fifty five KRC the talk station. Yeah, more to talk
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: about coming up. I got Bob on the phone, Bob,
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: and take your call right out of the go. Bob,
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: Thanks for holding over the break there. Welcome to the
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: fifty five KRC Morning Show.
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: Martin.
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: How's it going gone good? Bob's on your mind?
- 1:01:23Speaker 3: Well, it's You.
- 1:01:25Speaker 8: Talked about the Democrats and that kind of threw me
- 1:01:27Speaker 8: off a little bit, but Democrats would be Democrats. But
- 1:01:29Speaker 8: I was just wanting to talk about the Iran and
- 1:01:32Speaker 8: Ward We're not in right now because I'm trying to
- 1:01:33Speaker 8: make sense of it. I'm not against it, Don't get
- 1:01:35Speaker 8: me wrong. They killed a lot of people over there
- 1:01:37Speaker 8: for no reasons. My question is this Trump was on
- 1:01:41Speaker 8: the news after the first attack that he took care
- 1:01:43Speaker 8: of all the pendicular problems over in Iran. Now here
- 1:01:47Speaker 8: we are yet again saying the same thing. So it
- 1:01:51Speaker 8: was the first one to lie or did the mission
- 1:01:54Speaker 8: tell and now we're doing this again? Or is this
- 1:01:57Speaker 8: more directed towards China and Russia and they don't want
- 1:01:59Speaker 8: to come out.
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: Well maybe a little bit mixed bag of all the above.
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: I think the argument from the Trump administration and I'm
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: just putting words in their mouth. Yeah, we destroyed the
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: enrichment facilities and their ability to enrich uranium to a
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: nuclear grade power in the first strike. The second level
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: is they're rebuilding it. We had evidence that they're rebuilding
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: their nuclear weapons program. So we've got to stop them
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: from doing that and basically prevent them from doing anything
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: along those lines on into the future. And that's where
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: the regime change part comes in. Now they'll argue that, no,
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: we're not necessarily about regime change, but if they completely
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: emasculate the Iranian army, they blow up all the navy
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: and they try to get rid of as many of
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: them with missiles and weapons. They've effectively rendered Iran well impossible,
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: incapable of defending itself, and of course financially devastated. And
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: if you don't have any money flowing into your country,
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: you might want nuclear weapons all day long, and the
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: ashes and the aftermath of this bombing, you might still
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: have aspirations to do it, but it's going to be
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: really hard when your citizenry is starving and you have
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: no resources by way of an economy that would make
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: a new nuclear weapons program a little challenging. So that's
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: my quick take on it, Bob. But I hear where
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: you're coming from, and I get it there's a lot
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: of folks out there this morning and that they have
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: been and I have been included. Was it really an
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: immediate threat that needed to be dealt with? That goes
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: back to the constitution, declaration of war, getting some sort
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: of approval from Congress, even if it's through the War
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: Powers Act, which mean many like me think is not
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: constitutional in and of itself because it's an unconstitutional delegation
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: or congressional powers. But here we are, so the genies
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: out of the bottle, as I like to say, but yeah,
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: you're onto something there. I do not argue that five
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: fifty six to fifty six right now if you have
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: k City talk station, more calls are welcome. After the
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: top of the our news than we're geting to Tom
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: Zawastowski at seven point thirty what happened with the No
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: More Property Tax group when they met with v Vague Ramaswami.
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: And we'll also find out where the polling numbers show
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: that No Property Tax in Ohio group is. That's coming
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: up at seven thirty of who you can stick around
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: for the whole.
- 1:04:04Speaker 9: Hour Today's top headlines coming up at the top of
- 1:04:09Speaker 9: the talk station.
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: Seven oh six here, if do you have KARCD talk station,
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: Bryan Thomas wishing your own a very happy Tuesday, and
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: invitation to stick around the rest of the morning. Got time.
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: Between now and the bottom of the hour, we hear
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: from Tom Zawastowski on no Property taxes. Apparently the no
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: Property Tax group here in the state of Ohio met
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: with viv Ramaswami. We'll get to find out what Vivi's
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: reaction to that is and what his proposal might be
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: to the extent he has one. We'll also find out
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: what the polling shows on elimination of the IHIO property tax.
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: I suspect there's going to be a large campaign waged
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: against the no property tax folks. At some point it
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: seems to me kind of silent. We've got a lot
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: of politicians talking about how complicated it would be, and
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: oh my god, how high our income tax or are
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: well maybe income tax or maybe sales tax might have
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: to be to replace that, if it in fact has
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: to be replaced. But are there more creative ideas or
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: alternatives out there to eliminating it? I don't know. That's
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: why we have Tom Zawastowski we the People Convention dot
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: or joining us at the bottom of the hour. Fast
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: forward one hour The Inside Scoop with bright Bart News
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: today the return of London Bureau Chief Oliver Lane talking
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: about the United Kingdom's response to the we'll call it
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: war between Israel, United States and the Iranians and what's
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: the story with the UK. Daniel Davis Deep Dive Tire
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis with the war analysis. Of course,
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: today we are going to be focusing I think exclusively
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: on what's going on in Iran. And yes, I am
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: going to press him on this concern that's been raised
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: about our air defense interceptors. We only have a fine
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: item out how many we have total remains to be
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: We don't really know. I suppose that's some sort of
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: military secret, and I understand the reason why that might be.
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: But we are using and we and collectively we that's
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: everybody who's been given the air defense interceptors. All the countries,
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: all the military bases, and in fact all over the globe.
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: They need these and they're going through them like well,
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: even more so than changes of underwear. Yeah, I changed
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: mind once a day. They have been shooting thousands of
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: these interceptors into the skies too well, knock down the
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: thousands of rockets that are on is firing seemingly indiscriminately.
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: And that's one of the more interesting components of this.
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: What in the hell was our on thinking when it
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: started dropping bombs on all those Arab countries. It's got
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: a bunch of new well friends made out of that,
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: and I think maybe they just see a future down
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: the road talking about the common of May to day earlier.
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: If you can just get rid of the Iranian threat.
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: And I realize we've got a constitution, we've got politicians
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: need to chime in and all this. That's the legal component.
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: But might this activity result in some semblance of peace
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: for the entire region, allowing them to trade together and
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: create a better world like post World War II Europe?
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: A huge financial benefit that we might inure to that
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: if we can just bring about some stability, not to mention,
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: can you imagine improving everyone there's quality of life, just
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: recognizing that at any given moment, some crazy terrorist organization
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: is not going to start lobbing missiles into your backyard. Yeah,
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: and that's a beautiful thing about this. The Iranian economy
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: is going to be devastated by this. And how likely
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: is it that they will be able to continue fundingly
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: or providing missiles and weaponry to terrorist organizations if they
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: can't even fend for themselves. You know, the supply chains
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: have been radically disrupted by all of this. And I
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: guess the other thing is Hasbala. For whatever reason, there
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: was a ceasefire between Israel and Hasbala, and that's occasionally
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: kind of been well ignored. But they started launching rockets
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: into Israel the other day, which provided a predicate for
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: Israel to just go in and start beating the living
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: crap out of Hasbala. Again, they were kind of restrained
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: by the prior peace arrangements, So why would you do that?
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: A lot of people asking that question as well, but
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: moving away from the legal realities and the impending war
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: powers authorization vote and how that might go the case
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: for cautious optimism about Trump's war with the Iran. I'll
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: give credit to Gerard Baker, and I'll stand on the
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: shoulder of giants, as I quite regularly do, because sometimes
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: people put it a hell of a lot better than
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: I'm capable of doing on my best day. Despite assurances
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: to the contrary, the disinclination toward high risk military action,
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: and the disappointing record of similar actions by American endeavors,
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: Donald Trump has become the fourth consecutive Republican president to
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: find himself immersed in a major conflict in the Middle least.
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: Only George H. W. Bush's war to expel Saddam Hussein
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: from Kuwait ninety one can be counted as a clear success,
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: and then only because its objective was tightly circumscribed get
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: him out of Kuwait. Ronald Reagan's effort to stabilize Lebanon
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: in the early nineteen eighties ended in the bombing of
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: the Beroot Marine Barrick, while his later efforts to extricate
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: US hostages resulting the self inflicted wound of Iran Contra
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: and George W. Bush's war with Iraq in two thousand
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: and three cost intolerable loss of life and untold damage
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: to America's strategic capabilities and stature. Democratic presidents, less ambitious
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: efforts have fared no better. Remember Bill Clinton, his standoff
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: bombing campaign if failed to arrest the rise of al
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: Qaeda and led to more or less directly to the
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: September eleventh attacks. Barack Obama led from behind, unleashing chaos
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: in Libya and permitted Syria across his chemical weapons red line.
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: Joe Biden's catastrophic exit from Afghanistan, part of the Greater
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: Middle East for these purposes, was a humiliation. Does Operation
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: Epic Fury have better prospects a few days into the conflict.
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: There's no definitive answer, but a cautiously optimistic case can
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: be made that this Middle Eastern entanglement will end better
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: than most of the others. Two questions must be answered
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: pondering whether any military action of this sort is to
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: be undertaken. One is it justified? Two is it wise?
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: Critics at home had brought a sale Trump for the
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: supposed lawlessness of this campaign. It's important to address the
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: moral and legal case for the action first, and to
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: note Iran's government has been responsible for the deaths of
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: more than any other deaths of Americans, rather more than
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: any other in the past fifty years. From its outset
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy nine, the Islamic Republic has made murdering
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: Americans among its highest priorities. From the more than two
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: hundred Marines killed by Hezbala in the nineteen eighty three
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: de Route bombing and the six hundred or so American
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: service members killed by the Iran backed militias in Iraq,
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: to the many US citizens terrorized, captured, and killed by
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: Hamas and other Iranian sponsored entities in Gaza and around
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: the world. Tehran has repeatedly bathed in American blood. Happy
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: about that too. Under the principle of self defense, action
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: taken against a regime that has killed so many of
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: our own citizens is legitimate, not simply for the retributed
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: of justice, but to prevent further killings. It'll be preferable
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: if mister Trump had spent more time in the past
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: few weeks explaining that case to the American people and
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: ideally securing a political mandate from Congress for it. But
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: the failure to do so doesn't make the cause and
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: illegitimate one. There's your legal quandary versus the practical reality
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: of is it a good thing? Yet? If we are
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: fully justified in finally bringing a measure of justice to
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: a government that has caused so much suffering, is it
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: wise to do so? Is the potential cost of a
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: war to disarm, damage, or remove a regime proportionate to
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: the benefit that we can expect from taking such action. Here,
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: there's less confidence when a tyrannical, homicidal regime has been
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: committed to killing you four decades. Regime change is self
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: evidently the most desirable outcome. We're all familiar with the
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: historical record. Achieving regime change remotely through airpower alone is
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: an extraordinarily long probability. But even if this new round
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: of punishment for Iran fails to dislodge the regime. The
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: further damage that we can deal to it can only
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: weaken it further. That's the argument to just pound them
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: into submission and completely eliminate their military power completely. Few
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: regimes have been undermined the way Tehran has in the
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: past couple of years. It has just witnessed the awesome
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: combination of a US Israeli intelligence and military capability, capability
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: pulizing its supreme leader of almost four decades and much
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: of its leadership team. It has seen the countries who
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: it vowed to destroy rain down fire and destruction on
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: its military facilities for a year. Its top military commanders
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: taken out with breathtaking precision, its conventional and nuclear facilities
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: badly damaged, Its air defense is essentially destroyed. It has
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: watched as its close ally in Syria was overthrown in
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: a civil war, its proxies and Gaza and Lebanon decimated.
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: Even if it's even its friends in Western Hemisphere Nicholas
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: Mauzurro now sits at a Brooklyn, New York City jail.
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: Its sponsors Russia and China seem to regard their relationship
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: with that as well as a one way affair. They
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: get Iran's drones and oil. Iran gets tough diplomatic language
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: for America and Israel. The Iranian people have risen up
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: against the regime which has survived only by killing thousands
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: of them. So if regime change doesn't come, now, what
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: kind of regime survives leaderless, impoverished, isolated, besieged, mostly disarmed.
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: Is Iran likely to be stronger after being on the
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: receiving end of a campaign from the most technologically sophisticated
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: and the best equipped militaries in the world. There are risks,
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: and news of the first US casualties reminds us that
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: the costs are dear, but for an opportunistic president, there
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: may never be a better opportunity. And allow me to
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: pivot over from Jard Baker's comments, the point out that's
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: the point that Donald Trump's trying to make. Listen, we
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: don't want to run your country. We don't have anything
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: to do with it. We just want these evil, murderous
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: thugs or a hell bent on getting a nuclear weapon
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: and well wipe in Israel and other countries off the map.
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: Killing Americans, death through America, death to America. They love
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: hating America. Might you get something better in the final analysis,
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: if the people rise up, this may be the only
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: opportunity for them to do it. Can they do it?
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: That's a great question to ask the citizenry there. Oh,
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: for those Second Amendment fans out there in the world,
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: it's a good thing to be able to be armed,
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: is it? Can you imagine if every single running and
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: protester had their own AR fifteen Huh, might things be
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: a little bit different? I think that's a legitimate question
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: to ask. Tom's on the phone. Tom had a quicker
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: mind before it gets Tom listen to lunch tomorrow at
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: the Works Pizza Company downtown Loveland, Little old Loveling, love
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: my little Loveling, and I appreciate Tom calling this morning. Tom,
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: thanks for calling, Welcome to the show.
- 1:15:25Speaker 4: Thank you.
- 1:15:25Speaker 8: No problem. I just let's just assume for one second
- 1:15:28Speaker 8: that this tax thing for no property taxes in the
- 1:15:31Speaker 8: state of Ohio passes, say it overwhelmingly passes. Why would
- 1:15:36Speaker 8: anybody think for one second that they're going to pay
- 1:15:38Speaker 8: any more attention to that than they did the court,
- 1:15:41Speaker 8: the Supreme Court when twenty years ago that what would
- 1:15:45Speaker 8: make what would make anybody think that they would honor that?
- 1:15:48Speaker 8: What the people said, he.
- 1:15:50Speaker 1: You know, that's a funny and legitimate point.
- 1:15:52Speaker 4: Tom.
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: You're right. We've been two decades into the Supreme Court
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: saying our taxation system for school of funding is unconstitutional,
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: and yet here we are waiting for someone who can
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: come up with the concept of standing to make that
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: assertion in a court of law, moving to enforce the
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: Supreme Court opinion. But apparently that's not going to happen. Tom.
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: The only thing I can suggest this, the only thing
- 1:16:10Speaker 1: I can suggest is as a constitutional amendment, it will
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: carry the force of of course a constitutional amendment. There
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: it is in the ohiuse constitution, property tax is illegal,
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: which means I think you or I could refuse to
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: pay it and then point to our constitution and let's
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: see what kind of enforcement action they engage in to
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: get it to force us to pay our property taxes.
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: How do you think that would play out? Tom? Right,
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: you and n have standing because the state made an
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: action in effort to either I don't know if there'd
- 1:16:41Speaker 1: be a civil prosecution or criminal prosecution, or an effort
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: to foreclose on your house for faire to pay income
- 1:16:46Speaker 1: taxes or real estate taxes. I think that will be
- 1:16:49Speaker 1: a vehicle to get you standing in court to fight
- 1:16:51Speaker 1: it and raise the challenge. Wait a second, our constitution
- 1:16:54Speaker 1: says you can't do this anymore. How are you trying
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: to do it?
- 1:17:00Speaker 8: Well, I don't understand. How come I don't have standing
- 1:17:03Speaker 8: at the taxpayer's been pantaxis for the last thirty years
- 1:17:06Speaker 8: because you're not I don't.
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: You are not unique. One must have a unique, particular,
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: unique legal challenge to get standing in court. Otherwise, like
- 1:17:16Speaker 1: any law, you're law, you're you're impacted the same as
- 1:17:19Speaker 1: everybody else in the eyes of the law. And trust me,
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: standing is one of the more complicated elements of even
- 1:17:26Speaker 1: being a lawyer, let alone understanding how we get into court.
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: But if you're basically on the same platform, the same
- 1:17:31Speaker 1: standing as everybody else, then sorry, you have to deal
- 1:17:34Speaker 1: with it. So this is the crazy thing. I mean,
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: go ahead. I've been commenting about the War Powers Act
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three War Powers Act. I do believe fundamentally,
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: and I think everybody from a legal scholar perspective believes
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: that violates Supreme Court law, which is, you can't delegate
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: your specifically defined authority within the Constitution to another branch
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: of government. Going back to Reagan, they gave him the
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: line item vita. The Supreme Court said, no, you can't
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: delegate that. That's a congression respet onsibility power the purse. Well,
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: here we are with the same kind of argument. Let's
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: see how it plays out. But nobody's challenged it. Because
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: declaration of war is specifically the purview of Congress. You
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: can't war powers act around that, even though it sort
- 1:18:17Speaker 1: of allows you to do that. Seven five, fifty five KRC.
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: But nobody has standing for that one. Let me I
- 1:18:24Speaker 1: mentioned doctor Fred Pack. He is my daddy. He's my
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: whole deep talk station seventy nine and fifty five KRCD
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: talk Station. Happy Tuesday, the return of tom's Awastowski. You
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: can find Tom online. We the People Convention dot Org
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: podcast weekly. He's got lots of great coverage on the
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: website there Weather, People Convention dot Org. Tom z Awastowski,
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: Welcome back to the fifty five KRC Morning Show. Topic
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: near and dear to my listener's hearts as well as
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: mind property taxes in the state of Ohio. Of course,
- 1:18:55Speaker 1: there's a circulating petition to try to get on the
- 1:18:57Speaker 1: ballot a constitutional meant that would completely eradicate property taxes
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: in Ohio and I know there's a group behind that,
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: and apparently that group has met with viveg. Gromis. I mean,
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: you're here to explain that, but also this new poll
- 1:19:08Speaker 1: that you have done. Welcome back, Tom. It's always a
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: pleasure to have you on the morning show.
- 1:19:12Speaker 4: Well, great to be with you, Brian, to talk about
- 1:19:15Speaker 4: you know, really the most talked about topic in Ohio.
- 1:19:18Speaker 4: And uh, you know, there's a lot to unpack here,
- 1:19:21Speaker 4: but I was very glad I think you probably were
- 1:19:23Speaker 4: as well to see the Bake meet with the Axe
- 1:19:26Speaker 4: Ohio tax people, with Brian Nassey and Leonard and those guys. Uh,
- 1:19:31Speaker 4: you know, they've put out a statement and I don't
- 1:19:33Speaker 4: think they're being went all that well, but at least
- 1:19:36Speaker 4: it shows that the theke is interested in the topic,
- 1:19:40Speaker 4: is listening, you know, to people to try to figure out, okay,
- 1:19:43Speaker 4: how do we address what is really an egregious, you know,
- 1:19:47Speaker 4: situation where people have been taxed out of their homes
- 1:19:51Speaker 4: and so yeah, I was happy to see they get together.
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: Well, and I think you would be a fool to
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: ignore that issue given that it is, you know, a
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: really a dominant topic here. Ohio and got a lot
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: of seniors struggling to stay in their homes. We got
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: whacked not that long ago by a really huge increase
- 1:20:07Speaker 1: in property taxes brought about by the increase in real
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: estate values. I mean, something's got to give here. So
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: he wants to talk about it. But did he say
- 1:20:15Speaker 1: he's in favor of eliminating it by way of a
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: constitutional amendment. I can't imagine he went that far yet.
- 1:20:22Speaker 4: Yeah, and I I, you know, I want to share
- 1:20:24Speaker 4: with your listeners something that I have not made public previously.
- 1:20:29Speaker 4: And the reason why the Bank you know, is not
- 1:20:31Speaker 4: you know, willing to commit I don't think anybody is
- 1:20:34Speaker 4: to total repeal of property taxes is because the voters
- 1:20:37Speaker 4: just don't support it. You know, couldn't do some context.
- 1:20:43Speaker 4: Literally nine months ago, I said, geez, I really want
- 1:20:46Speaker 4: to try to help the repeal property tax effort. You know,
- 1:20:50Speaker 4: Brian and Leonard of these guys have been friends of mine,
- 1:20:52Speaker 4: they're Grassrows people, They're sincere in their efforts. And so
- 1:20:56Speaker 4: I and some other patriots went out and tried to
- 1:20:59Speaker 4: raise money to get this on the ballot, because, as
- 1:21:03Speaker 4: you know, it costs millions of dollars to collect these signatures.
- 1:21:07Speaker 4: I mean, I'm one of the few people alive in
- 1:21:09Speaker 4: the state who's actually passed a constitutional amendment. I was
- 1:21:12Speaker 4: the president of the Ohio Liberty Coalition back in twenty
- 1:21:16Speaker 4: eleven when we passed the Ohio Healthcare Amendment, and I
- 1:21:20Speaker 4: know some things from that, and I've learned some hard lessons.
- 1:21:23Speaker 4: So when we went out to look for money, Brian, well,
- 1:21:27Speaker 4: you know, no one's going to give you millions of
- 1:21:28Speaker 4: dollars if they don't think you've got a good chance
- 1:21:31Speaker 4: of succeeding. So last December, we paid for a statewide survey,
- 1:21:38Speaker 4: and I mean, we did a really good job of
- 1:21:40Speaker 4: looking at every county individually to see will people support
- 1:21:45Speaker 4: a complete repeal of property taxes? And the answer is
- 1:21:49Speaker 4: absolutely not. The number came back at only seventeen point
- 1:21:53Speaker 4: two percent of people in Ohio want a full repeal,
- 1:21:58Speaker 4: but sixty nine percent want reform. And that had caused
- 1:22:03Speaker 4: me to have to pivot and try to talk to
- 1:22:06Speaker 4: the Act of File Tax people and say, guys, you
- 1:22:08Speaker 4: know this is not going to fly.
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: We need something else, something else, And therein lies the challenge,
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: what something else is going to provide us relief? And
- 1:22:17Speaker 1: yet allow, of course, schools and parks and police and
- 1:22:20Speaker 1: fire to continue to be funded. Let's first start with
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: the with the poll here, I see that you pulled
- 1:22:27Speaker 1: twelve hundred and forty seven registered voters. I saw the
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: margin of error described as plus or minus two point
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: eight percent, which is a pretty good margin of error.
- 1:22:36Speaker 1: Who did you hire to do the polling? Because trust me,
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: you're not you understand this. I think everybody in my
- 1:22:42Speaker 1: listening audience has a jaundiced eye of skepticism when it
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: comes to any poll. We've all been burned by believing poles.
- 1:22:49Speaker 1: So where are we with just the overall polling? Who
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: did it and what specifics do you have on that?
- 1:22:56Speaker 4: Well? See, this is really important because those listeners who
- 1:23:00Speaker 4: are familiar with me personally and with the WEA That
- 1:23:03Speaker 4: People convention, know that years ago we realized all the
- 1:23:07Speaker 4: polls were propaganda, and we started doing our own polling,
- 1:23:11Speaker 4: and we were the only we were literally the only person,
- 1:23:13Speaker 4: I guess we were one of two people who actually
- 1:23:16Speaker 4: called President Trump winning Ohio in twenty sixteen with our
- 1:23:21Speaker 4: poll when they were telling us that Hillary Clinton was
- 1:23:23Speaker 4: going to win by sixteen percent, and we said Trump's
- 1:23:26Speaker 4: going to win by eight point four, and he won
- 1:23:28Speaker 4: by eight point two. So it is. It has always
- 1:23:31Speaker 4: been our policy, the Lead People Convention to do our
- 1:23:34Speaker 4: own polling. Now you know, things have changed since then.
- 1:23:37Speaker 4: We used to just use our own equipment and do
- 1:23:39Speaker 4: you know phone calls to do the polling, and now
- 1:23:42Speaker 4: you got to do a lot more. So we had
- 1:23:43Speaker 4: to hire, you know, some professional polling companies to help us.
- 1:23:47Speaker 4: But this is critical. We got to tell ourselves the truth.
- 1:23:51Speaker 4: Tom Swatowski is not going to you know, make decisions
- 1:23:54Speaker 4: that in fact, you know, literally millions of Ohioans based
- 1:23:58Speaker 4: on some phony poll and so so I'm very confident
- 1:24:01Speaker 4: in this poll because I helped with the questions and
- 1:24:04Speaker 4: I help with the methodology, and we know we got
- 1:24:06Speaker 4: what we paid for, and believe me, it costs a
- 1:24:09Speaker 4: lot of money.
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: All Right, we're going to dive in some of the
- 1:24:11Speaker 1: polling results which are really interesting. Yes, a lot of
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: people support reforming. They don't necessarily approve the abolishment, which
- 1:24:19Speaker 1: Tom just pointed out. Only seventeen point two percent of
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: those polled up call for the total abolishment. But that
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: doesn't mean that there isn't a desire for some change here.
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: Let's dive into more details. Tom Zawastowski, We the People
- 1:24:29Speaker 1: Convention dot org will bring see the talk station if
- 1:24:35Speaker 1: you'bout care c DE talk station by the time. So
- 1:24:37Speaker 1: Tom's Awastowski for We the People Convention dot org get
- 1:24:39Speaker 1: ready to dive on in the property tax reform in Ohio.
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: What voters believe, what the data shows statewide survey. Tom's
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: got great confidence in it. He's got prior polls that
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: he has done to stand on proving that he has
- 1:24:50Speaker 1: been very accurate. Now pivoting over before we dive on
- 1:24:53Speaker 1: to some of the results, which I find very interesting. Tom,
- 1:24:56Speaker 1: Now did you pull only property owners? Did you get
- 1:24:59Speaker 1: kick out of the polling? I know renters pay property tax,
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: they just don't generally realize it that it does get
- 1:25:05Speaker 1: passed on in the monthly rent build the property tax,
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: so the building goes up. Excuse me, you won't know
- 1:25:09Speaker 1: who's going to pay it. But was there any differentiation
- 1:25:12Speaker 1: in the polling between real property owners and renters?
- 1:25:16Speaker 4: Yeah, there really was. And again we were careful to
- 1:25:19Speaker 4: make sure we really dug down and got representation from
- 1:25:23Speaker 4: all voters. Because if you're going to do a const
- 1:25:25Speaker 4: social amendment, now you got to pass on the ballot,
- 1:25:28Speaker 4: and there is a difference. So obviously people that rent
- 1:25:30Speaker 4: don't most of them don't get that connection that their
- 1:25:33Speaker 4: rent is tied to property taxes. I want to point
- 1:25:36Speaker 4: out a real interesting statistic though, Well we said, geez,
- 1:25:39Speaker 4: only seventeen point two percent are for total elimination. There's
- 1:25:43Speaker 4: another statistic where, you know, forty two point eight percent
- 1:25:47Speaker 4: of the people polled of the voters said that they
- 1:25:50Speaker 4: support abolishing property taxes for owner occupied homes only. That's
- 1:25:56Speaker 4: a pretty interesting statistic. And because a lot of people
- 1:25:59Speaker 4: was I think you've heard from your own listeners. They
- 1:26:02Speaker 4: don't want Walmart and Costco and and and you know,
- 1:26:05Speaker 4: big businesses to get property tax release. They think, you know,
- 1:26:08Speaker 4: it should be for property owners. And so that forty
- 1:26:12Speaker 4: two point eight percent number, I think is something that
- 1:26:16Speaker 4: is being reflected in Like a state Rep. Mark Heiner
- 1:26:20Speaker 4: has just he's in District's ninety eight. He just put
- 1:26:23Speaker 4: up an amendment to uh, you know, to abolish property
- 1:26:26Speaker 4: taxes for all homeowners. The problem is brand that's like
- 1:26:30Speaker 4: a ten billion dollar hit. Now, property tax revenue in
- 1:26:34Speaker 4: Ohio is like twenty two to twenty four billion dollars
- 1:26:38Speaker 4: ten percent. Ten billion is like a forty five percent cut.
- 1:26:42Speaker 4: That's pretty tough hit to handle. I think that, you know,
- 1:26:46Speaker 4: initially we need to get to meet a sweet spot.
- 1:26:49Speaker 4: Is like a twenty to twenty two percent cut initially,
- 1:26:53Speaker 4: And and so I don't think you can repeal private
- 1:26:56Speaker 4: sectors for all property owners, but maybe for people a
- 1:26:59Speaker 4: sixty five or older, or people who maybe have paid
- 1:27:03Speaker 4: private taxes for twenty five years and by got maybe
- 1:27:05Speaker 4: you should actually own their home after twenty five years.
- 1:27:08Speaker 4: You know, there's got to be some other way to
- 1:27:11Speaker 4: do this. And I'm talking to the Beck and Rob
- 1:27:13Speaker 4: mccalling and other legislators about, you know, what's the best
- 1:27:16Speaker 4: way to go forward that we can pass right but
- 1:27:20Speaker 4: also does the things we need to do, which is
- 1:27:22Speaker 4: reform our tax situation in Ohio.
- 1:27:25Speaker 1: Okay, So those are some of the possible ways we
- 1:27:28Speaker 1: can go rather than eliminate completely, those are some of
- 1:27:30Speaker 1: the potential areas we could curve back or cut back
- 1:27:33Speaker 1: the property tax for at least some folks. But that
- 1:27:36Speaker 1: and actually that that suggests that the problem that I've
- 1:27:40Speaker 1: been facing with the complete elimination of it is what
- 1:27:43Speaker 1: will they do in response? I mean, I almost I
- 1:27:46Speaker 1: almost want it to happen, just to see what our
- 1:27:47Speaker 1: elected officials are faced with. I mean, talk about deer
- 1:27:50Speaker 1: in the headlights, they'd be freaking out and I relish that.
- 1:27:54Speaker 1: But as this, as the polling reflects, the reason that
- 1:27:58Speaker 1: the vast majority people don't want to live and they
- 1:28:00Speaker 1: completely is the uncertainty surrounding the replacement revenue. We don't
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: know what's going to be. What will happen when that
- 1:28:06Speaker 1: deer in the headlight stops and they start start acting
- 1:28:09Speaker 1: on the elimination of property taxes, So owner occupied homes only,
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: that's one option. Let's see. Ability to pay is central
- 1:28:16Speaker 1: Ohioan sense of fairness. Eighty three point three percent believe
- 1:28:19Speaker 1: recurring property taxes, if they exist, should reflect income and
- 1:28:23Speaker 1: ability to pay. Sounds to me like we're getting into
- 1:28:25Speaker 1: that class warfare kind of thing.
- 1:28:27Speaker 2: Tom for that, that stat stocked me. I was like, whoa,
- 1:28:32Speaker 2: I don't like that at all.
- 1:28:34Speaker 4: That's kind of on the socialism kind of path. And
- 1:28:37Speaker 4: I'm like, no, no, no, no, But it shows you though,
- 1:28:40Speaker 4: the frustration is so high that people will look to
- 1:28:44Speaker 4: things like that and we've got to fix it. I mean,
- 1:28:47Speaker 4: you gotta love Have you heard Amy actors of proposal.
- 1:28:50Speaker 1: Oh no, I haven't.
- 1:28:52Speaker 4: Oh you got you got to hear that. You're gonna
- 1:28:53Speaker 4: love this this real quick she spoke. She was speaking
- 1:28:56Speaker 4: at the Columbus Union Hall a couple of weeks ago,
- 1:28:58Speaker 4: and she said the former state health director from Columbus
- 1:29:02Speaker 4: suggested that one way to lower local property taxes would
- 1:29:05Speaker 4: be to increase state funding to schools, police and fire
- 1:29:08Speaker 4: departments and other public bodies. So they don't need new
- 1:29:11Speaker 4: property taxes. So let's just take the money out of
- 1:29:14Speaker 4: your other pocket and give the schools and police all
- 1:29:17Speaker 4: the money they want. So you don't even get to
- 1:29:19Speaker 4: vote on it. There you go. So this is the
- 1:29:23Speaker 4: problem Tom.
- 1:29:24Speaker 1: On that proposal that would require the elected officials and
- 1:29:29Speaker 1: Columbus to determine what any given school district is entitled
- 1:29:32Speaker 1: to out of the pool of money that they have.
- 1:29:34Speaker 1: Oh wow, oh yeah, we want that right.
- 1:29:37Speaker 6: So here here's talking.
- 1:29:38Speaker 1: About increasing union power or something I would have made.
- 1:29:42Speaker 4: Well, isn't what amy actor is about? Point she's running? Okay,
- 1:29:46Speaker 4: So here's the thing. The actual tax the ACTU Ohio
- 1:29:50Speaker 4: tax people deserve a lot of credit because the basis
- 1:29:53Speaker 4: of their repeal amendment is we are just over tax
- 1:29:57Speaker 4: at Ohio. Our government at all levels is costing more
- 1:30:02Speaker 4: than we can afford. So the property tax issue, Brian,
- 1:30:06Speaker 4: is not just about property taxes. It's about an instrument
- 1:30:11Speaker 4: to reform all of our government. We need to give
- 1:30:14Speaker 4: them a haircut. And here's the memo to the legislature,
- 1:30:18Speaker 4: to the police Department's levers. We're going to cut your spending.
- 1:30:22Speaker 4: You're going to reform, you're going to get rid of
- 1:30:25Speaker 4: duplicate programs, you're going to be more efficient, you're going
- 1:30:28Speaker 4: to implement AI And if you think about it, that
- 1:30:31Speaker 4: all dovetails with the veak Ramaswami is talking about if
- 1:30:36Speaker 4: he becomes governor, he wants to reform our state. So
- 1:30:40Speaker 4: we we're like Florida.
- 1:30:42Speaker 6: We're ready.
- 1:30:43Speaker 1: I wrote down Florida while you were talking, Tom, because
- 1:30:45Speaker 1: I wrote down Ramaswamy. He wants to get rid of
- 1:30:47Speaker 1: the income tax here. Now that complicates matters if you
- 1:30:50Speaker 1: want to get rid of the property taxes, because these
- 1:30:52Speaker 1: are two sources of revenue for the state. Yet, and
- 1:30:55Speaker 1: we'll let you come back and talk about this. How
- 1:30:57Speaker 1: is it that Florida has been able to do all
- 1:30:59Speaker 1: this and has an economy that is booming how is
- 1:31:02Speaker 1: it that they're moving in the direction of eliminating property
- 1:31:04Speaker 1: taxes along these lines although there are qualifications for their
- 1:31:07Speaker 1: elimination of property taxes when they already don't tax income.
- 1:31:11Speaker 1: This is strange. Can we mirror Florida? We'll bring Tom
- 1:31:13Speaker 1: back for one more as a couple of the talk
- 1:31:15Speaker 1: station seven fifty fift about KRCD talk station. We're talking
- 1:31:20Speaker 1: with Tom z Awastowski from We the People Convention dot
- 1:31:22Speaker 1: org about the elimination of property taxes and how we
- 1:31:26Speaker 1: might go about doing it now. His well conducted survey
- 1:31:28Speaker 1: reflects that, you know, a lot of people are tuned
- 1:31:30Speaker 1: into the reality of eliminating it is going to create
- 1:31:32Speaker 1: some major uncertainty or about what's going to replace the revenue.
- 1:31:35Speaker 1: So only seventeen point two percent of the folks say
- 1:31:38Speaker 1: absolutely abolished property taxes, but that doesn't mean they don't
- 1:31:41Speaker 1: all want it. So sixty nine percent of voters support
- 1:31:44Speaker 1: reforming the current property tax system. And that's some of
- 1:31:46Speaker 1: the areas we've been talking about with Tom this morning.
- 1:31:48Speaker 1: If we don't eliminate it completely, what can we do
- 1:31:50Speaker 1: by giving relief? And of course you were talking you
- 1:31:52Speaker 1: mentioned Florida, which I had written down in advance to
- 1:31:55Speaker 1: ask you about Florida has a different way of life.
- 1:31:59Speaker 1: They don't have see here, they don't have income tax
- 1:32:05Speaker 1: except corporate income tax I think is five point five percent.
- 1:32:09Speaker 1: Their state sales tax is six percent. And they're moving
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: forward with a proposal to eliminate property taxes a homestead
- 1:32:17Speaker 1: property exemption. That's not second homes or vacation rentals or
- 1:32:20Speaker 1: commercial property. But if you have your single primary residence home,
- 1:32:24Speaker 1: it will be eliminated, with the exception of school taxes
- 1:32:29Speaker 1: they're supposed to have, Like the school taxes will still
- 1:32:31Speaker 1: come out of like I guess the property tax built.
- 1:32:33Speaker 1: But it's a long way toward reform. Tom, how come
- 1:32:36Speaker 1: we can't be Florida.
- 1:32:39Speaker 4: Well, I think here's the best way. Stop spending. Yeah,
- 1:32:43Speaker 4: I love these people who keeps talking about, oh, we
- 1:32:45Speaker 4: got to replace the revenue. That's the whole point there,
- 1:32:48Speaker 4: you got to replace it. The whole point is to
- 1:32:51Speaker 4: cut your spending, to reform government. I just can't believe it.
- 1:32:57Speaker 4: But it's a culture. Remember, you know, you go into
- 1:33:00Speaker 4: off and I don't care if your township trustee or
- 1:33:02Speaker 4: county commissioner, you know, running a police department. What is
- 1:33:06Speaker 4: your culture more and more and more. We need this,
- 1:33:10Speaker 4: we need that, give us more money. Let's put another
- 1:33:12Speaker 4: levee on about it. We have to change that culture.
- 1:33:15Speaker 4: And that's what they're doing in Florida, and that's what
- 1:33:18Speaker 4: I think the Veke is going to want to do
- 1:33:20Speaker 4: here in Ohio. But I've said that the Theke listen,
- 1:33:24Speaker 4: they're not going to change. We learn from Doge. What
- 1:33:27Speaker 4: we learned from Doge. Oh, here's all this fraud and
- 1:33:30Speaker 4: abuse and things you should cut and they cut nothing
- 1:33:33Speaker 4: because if they won't cut unless they have to. So
- 1:33:37Speaker 4: this property tax bill has to be balanced. We've got
- 1:33:41Speaker 4: to cut enough so that they have to reform right
- 1:33:45Speaker 4: and get the message. But also we have to give
- 1:33:48Speaker 4: relief to the people who got thirty percent increases in
- 1:33:51Speaker 4: their property taxes. They got to get made whole. We
- 1:33:54Speaker 4: got to give some of that back. So we're talking
- 1:33:57Speaker 4: about it, you know. And the other part of it is, Brian,
- 1:34:00Speaker 4: you know this, I don't care if we cut all
- 1:34:03Speaker 4: the property taxes. Are we cut a dollar of property taxes,
- 1:34:07Speaker 4: the interests, the unions particularly are going to spend thirty
- 1:34:11Speaker 4: million dollars to defeat it at the no member election.
- 1:34:16Speaker 4: So we are raising money, and I will know this week,
- 1:34:20Speaker 4: this not this week, this month, we will know if
- 1:34:22Speaker 4: we can raise the money we need to be able
- 1:34:25Speaker 4: to pass it. If we do get the legislature to
- 1:34:28Speaker 4: act on something that does cut property taxes and reform
- 1:34:33Speaker 4: government at all levels, that's my goal, that's what I'm
- 1:34:36Speaker 4: working on. I asked your listeners for their prayers that
- 1:34:39Speaker 4: we get this funding. We've been working really hard on
- 1:34:41Speaker 4: it for like ten months and we think we're there.
- 1:34:44Speaker 4: But without the funding, the legislatures is not going to
- 1:34:48Speaker 4: put anything on the ballot that cha't be passed. And
- 1:34:51Speaker 4: you've got to have money to fight the left when
- 1:34:53Speaker 4: they come out and demonize everything you're doing.
- 1:34:56Speaker 1: And it's interesting to me that that adds money. Money
- 1:35:00Speaker 1: equals ads money equals propaganda, that people are so incapable
- 1:35:05Speaker 1: of thinking for themselves and ignoring the ads and just
- 1:35:08Speaker 1: looking at like, for example, your survey. If you are
- 1:35:10Speaker 1: asked a simple question like do you think we need
- 1:35:12Speaker 1: property tax reform in Ohio, and they say yes overwhelmingly,
- 1:35:17Speaker 1: and when you point to the loss of revenue and that,
- 1:35:19Speaker 1: no one just immediately says, well, there's too many services
- 1:35:22Speaker 1: coming out of Ohio. They're trying to do too many
- 1:35:24Speaker 1: things with too little money. Maybe we need to start
- 1:35:26Speaker 1: cutting government. And how appealing that would sound if you
- 1:35:28Speaker 1: think about it logically and reasonably. Where does the problem
- 1:35:31Speaker 1: come from? The problem comes from a bloated government that
- 1:35:34Speaker 1: spends too much and therefore needs to consume more of
- 1:35:36Speaker 1: our dollars. That's period and the story, and that transcends
- 1:35:40Speaker 1: the state of Ohio. We could point to the federal
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: government on that level, couldn't we Tom going back to Dog.
- 1:35:46Speaker 4: Well, absolutely, Yeah's and you're hitting it right on the head.
- 1:35:49Speaker 4: It's unfortunate that are these people who want to keep
- 1:35:54Speaker 4: raising our taxes use our tax money to propagandas about
- 1:35:58Speaker 4: Todd and here we are, as taxpayers trying to protect
- 1:36:01Speaker 4: our own interests, and we've got to go out and
- 1:36:03Speaker 4: raise millions at power so we can defend ourselves. There's
- 1:36:06Speaker 4: something wrong with that whole balance of power. We shouldn't
- 1:36:09Speaker 4: have to do that, but that's what we have to do,
- 1:36:12Speaker 4: and that's what we're trying to do. I have a
- 1:36:14Speaker 4: lot of hope. I think you're going to see something
- 1:36:16Speaker 4: come out in the next month or so that it's
- 1:36:18Speaker 4: going to be very, very good for taxpayers that's going
- 1:36:22Speaker 4: to cut their their expenses, and it's also going to
- 1:36:25Speaker 4: send a message to every government agency at every level
- 1:36:29Speaker 4: you got to cut your budget by like ten, fifteen
- 1:36:32Speaker 4: or twenty percent because we ain't going to fund you anymore.
- 1:36:35Speaker 1: Well, I know, screaming at the radio, going fraud, fraud,
- 1:36:37Speaker 1: wasted abuse, fraud, wasted abuse and government programs. Yeah, we
- 1:36:40Speaker 1: can address that and probably you know, deal with the
- 1:36:42Speaker 1: ledged hole that's going to be left here just by
- 1:36:45Speaker 1: getting rid of the fraud wasted abuse, which is that
- 1:36:47Speaker 1: AI you referred to earlier as a great mechanism to
- 1:36:50Speaker 1: maybe doing that on a going forward basis, We the
- 1:36:53Speaker 1: People Convention dot orgs or dot org, right, we the
- 1:36:56Speaker 1: People contention dot org. Tom z Awastowski, are you going
- 1:36:58Speaker 1: to post the poll on your website?
- 1:37:01Speaker 4: I will. I have not yet. This is the first
- 1:37:03Speaker 4: time I've ever said it, you know, put it out
- 1:37:06Speaker 4: there for the public. So thank you for this opportunity.
- 1:37:08Speaker 1: It's an honor.
- 1:37:09Speaker 4: I will probably put it out in an email to
- 1:37:11Speaker 4: the state, you know, to my email list as we
- 1:37:14Speaker 4: go forward. But yeah, let's let's just keep moving in
- 1:37:16Speaker 4: the right direction. We hear the people. That's clear. We've
- 1:37:19Speaker 4: got to do something, and I'm committed to making sure
- 1:37:22Speaker 4: we do do something and something that's good.
- 1:37:24Speaker 1: Well, I apperc it was sick about gares see de
- 1:37:28Speaker 1: talk station. It's Tuesday, it is time. I always look
- 1:37:31Speaker 1: forward to this, the inside scoop of bright Bart News,
- 1:37:33Speaker 1: and I always start out the segment by saying, book
- 1:37:35Speaker 1: mark the page bright Bart b R E I T
- 1:37:37Speaker 1: B A r T dot com. You'm glad you did
- 1:37:39Speaker 1: because you'll get to read from uh well, things that
- 1:37:42Speaker 1: London Bureau Chief Oliver Laine writes about, among others, at
- 1:37:45Speaker 1: breit Bart. Welcome back, Oliver Lane, London bureau Chief at
- 1:37:48Speaker 1: breit Bart. Is a pleasure to have you back on
- 1:37:50Speaker 1: the show, my friend.
- 1:37:51Speaker 10: Well, thank you for inviting me. It's a great pleasure.
- 1:37:53Speaker 1: Indeed, well, I appreciate it because yesterday Prime Minister Keir
- 1:37:57Speaker 1: Starmer told are set out loud he doesn't believe in
- 1:38:00Speaker 1: regime change from the Skies, defending his decision to not
- 1:38:03Speaker 1: allow the United States to use British bases for the
- 1:38:06Speaker 1: initial wave of attacks on Iran. Then he kind of
- 1:38:08Speaker 1: pivoted and said, well, US can have access to the
- 1:38:12Speaker 1: basis for defensive strikes in response to Iran's retaliatory tax.
- 1:38:17Speaker 1: So I guess as a quick point of order, I
- 1:38:20Speaker 1: got to ask, is someone keeping track and pointing out
- 1:38:23Speaker 1: is there a fundamental difference between offensive and defensive flights?
- 1:38:28Speaker 1: Are you keeping track of what airplane is being flown
- 1:38:31Speaker 1: out of any given UK air base that it is? Oh,
- 1:38:33Speaker 1: that's a defensive plane versus an offensive plane and sortie
- 1:38:37Speaker 1: it just seemed like, I don't know, maybe not even
- 1:38:39Speaker 1: a distinction. That's why we have you, Oliver Lane. What's
- 1:38:42Speaker 1: going on here with the United Kingdom's response to this
- 1:38:44Speaker 1: military activity?
- 1:38:45Speaker 10: Indeed, yeah, it's a very fine line there, and sacre
- 1:38:49Speaker 10: starm of the Prime Minister has not been a tall
- 1:38:51Speaker 10: clear spell what exactly he meant about this? Because, of course,
- 1:38:55Speaker 10: if you're talking about really purely defensive, that means putting
- 1:38:59Speaker 10: up what air into sception fighters, which are air to
- 1:39:02Speaker 10: weear missiles. They're up there to take down drones, uranium fighters, missiles.
- 1:39:06Speaker 10: But as we know, not just from this conflict, but
- 1:39:09Speaker 10: from every other conflict in modern history, Ukraine, etc. What's
- 1:39:14Speaker 10: the most effective, fool proof and cost effective way to
- 1:39:19Speaker 10: stop enemy missiles? Well, it's to take them out before
- 1:39:21Speaker 10: they launch. You take them out on the ground.
- 1:39:23Speaker 1: True, So that is that.
- 1:39:24Speaker 10: Included in this deal? I suspect not, because that's essentially
- 1:39:29Speaker 10: what this whole package of strikes the President Trump and
- 1:39:33Speaker 10: Israel launch over the weekend is about. It's about hitting
- 1:39:35Speaker 10: these things on the ground before then get in the air.
- 1:39:38Speaker 10: And when you open there. You mentioned about Kissed Arma,
- 1:39:42Speaker 10: our wonderful left wing globalist prime minister over here in
- 1:39:46Speaker 10: the UK, and these comments he made about what Trump
- 1:39:50Speaker 10: was doing and saying that the UK doesn't believe in
- 1:39:55Speaker 10: regime change from the air, and it was layering on
- 1:39:58Speaker 10: the criticism and it's it's really only barely below the surface,
- 1:40:04Speaker 10: saying that the UK can't take military action that it
- 1:40:07Speaker 10: considers unlawful. What does that imply He believes that the
- 1:40:10Speaker 10: US action is unlawful, It can't take action that's not
- 1:40:14Speaker 10: thought through, doesn't have a conclusion in mind. What does
- 1:40:16Speaker 10: that imply, Well, it implies he believes that President Trump
- 1:40:20Speaker 10: is flying blind on this. He's just launched the attack
- 1:40:22Speaker 10: and has no endgame in mind. So yeah, this is
- 1:40:26Speaker 10: I don't know if you want to call it insulting.
- 1:40:27Speaker 10: I don't know if you respect kiss Starmer enough to
- 1:40:30Speaker 10: think anything. He says could possibly be insulting, but he's
- 1:40:33Speaker 10: certainly trying to make clear what he thinks about Trump,
- 1:40:37Speaker 10: and it ain't a lot.
- 1:40:38Speaker 1: Well, there's sort of half step, half measure using him
- 1:40:41Speaker 1: for defensive purposes. That sounds to me like he's trying
- 1:40:44Speaker 1: to have his cake and eat it too. Well, you know,
- 1:40:46Speaker 1: we're gonna let use him for some things which maybe
- 1:40:48Speaker 1: appease the you know, the US government, or maybe is
- 1:40:51Speaker 1: or anybody else who's in favor of the conflict. But
- 1:40:53Speaker 1: there have been many suggestions, and I'm not bringing it
- 1:40:56Speaker 1: up as a unique thought myself, but that it may
- 1:40:59Speaker 1: be the kure Starmer struggling with the fact that you
- 1:41:01Speaker 1: have a very sizeable Muslim population. We know that very well.
- 1:41:05Speaker 1: It's been building for years and years and years. I
- 1:41:08Speaker 1: mean how Elvis Costello wrote about it back in the
- 1:41:11Speaker 1: day London is full of Arabs, remember that from the
- 1:41:15Speaker 1: song from Elvis Costello back in the day. Is that
- 1:41:18Speaker 1: the problem is he afraid of his the residents of
- 1:41:21Speaker 1: the UK that have a very substantial presidence in the
- 1:41:24Speaker 1: Muslim community and probably aren't in favor of what's going on.
- 1:41:27Speaker 10: Thank you for quoting on this, Costello to I mean that,
- 1:41:29Speaker 10: but a big smile on my face. You and I
- 1:41:34Speaker 10: don't need to make these points about is Starma trying
- 1:41:38Speaker 10: to appease a particular voting block in the UK. We
- 1:41:42Speaker 10: don't need to do that, because President Trump did it
- 1:41:44Speaker 10: for us this morning. He went out there and said
- 1:41:46Speaker 10: it pretty clearly when he was spoke to a British newspaper,
- 1:41:50Speaker 10: the Sun, and said that he was very disappointed with
- 1:41:54Speaker 10: the with Starma and the UK. And actually, if you
- 1:41:57Speaker 10: look at the language that he used, I'm going to
- 1:41:58Speaker 10: read this quote out here in a second, and I
- 1:42:01Speaker 10: think it's pretty clear that President Trump is actually shocked
- 1:42:05Speaker 10: and upset by the degree to which Britain, which is
- 1:42:09Speaker 10: a country he clearly loves, has let him down. Now
- 1:42:13Speaker 10: that this is a tragedy, because it's not really Britain
- 1:42:15Speaker 10: that's leading him down at all. It's a kiss starmer,
- 1:42:17Speaker 10: a prime minister who, by the way, is the least
- 1:42:20Speaker 10: popular British prime minister in the history of polling, in
- 1:42:24Speaker 10: the history of all data. He has the lowest opinionatium
- 1:42:27Speaker 10: any leader ever. So it's not like the British people
- 1:42:29Speaker 10: are standing four square behind him on this decision. But
- 1:42:32Speaker 10: I'm going to read this quite out to you. President
- 1:42:33Speaker 10: Trump said, and I quote, I never thought i'd see that.
- 1:42:37Speaker 10: I never thought i'd see that from the UK. We
- 1:42:41Speaker 10: love the UK, And he said about Britain, it's also
- 1:42:45Speaker 10: not such a recognizable country. London is a very different
- 1:42:48Speaker 10: place with a terrible mayor. You have a terrible mayor there,
- 1:42:51Speaker 10: some terrible people, but it's a very different place. And
- 1:42:54Speaker 10: this is when he was being asked by the newspaper
- 1:42:57Speaker 10: whether he thought that, as you said at the beginning
- 1:42:59Speaker 10: of this segment, you know, Starmer is essentially having to
- 1:43:02Speaker 10: appease a particular block of voters. And I think that's
- 1:43:05Speaker 10: absolutely right. So what I want to mention here is
- 1:43:08Speaker 10: we had a very important special election here just last
- 1:43:12Speaker 10: week Thursday last week, and this was in a what
- 1:43:15Speaker 10: you would call a true labor heartland, a safe seat.
- 1:43:19Speaker 10: The Labor Party has been active in British politics for
- 1:43:21Speaker 10: about one hundred years, about a century early nineteen twenties.
- 1:43:24Speaker 10: This seat has been Labor for one hundred years. It
- 1:43:28Speaker 10: has won every single election there for a century. So
- 1:43:32Speaker 10: if they can't win there, they cannot win anywhere. That's
- 1:43:35Speaker 10: the point I'm trying to make. And guess what special
- 1:43:37Speaker 10: election last week Labor came third. This is our left
- 1:43:42Speaker 10: wing party smashed into third place, and by who, by
- 1:43:46Speaker 10: a pro Gaza, pro Palestine sectarian interest party who came first.
- 1:43:53Speaker 4: So wow.
- 1:43:55Speaker 10: The situation we're in now is that for decades the
- 1:43:58Speaker 10: Labor Party has been the main political beneficiary of Britain's
- 1:44:03Speaker 10: policy of mass migration. People have come here in great numbers.
- 1:44:06Speaker 10: They've been converted into paper citizens, they've been given their passports.
- 1:44:10Speaker 10: Then they've got the vote to run, the right to
- 1:44:12Speaker 10: vote and who g only speaking have they voted for?
- 1:44:16Speaker 10: All the data we have shows they have voted for
- 1:44:18Speaker 10: the Labor Party. Labor has controlled those votes, and particularly
- 1:44:21Speaker 10: in Muslim communities, it's block voting, which by the way,
- 1:44:25Speaker 10: is illegal. But that's just one of those things that
- 1:44:27Speaker 10: we're too polite as Britain's to talk about. And it
- 1:44:29Speaker 10: goes on and on. But now we're in a position,
- 1:44:31Speaker 10: as we have seen from last week, in this new
- 1:44:33Speaker 10: era of British politics, of secretarian British politics, those migrant
- 1:44:38Speaker 10: communities are becoming more I guess, confident of themselves. They
- 1:44:41Speaker 10: know what they want and they're no longer content to
- 1:44:44Speaker 10: be controlled by Labor. They want their own party, which
- 1:44:48Speaker 10: serves their own narrow interests, and it seems that means
- 1:44:52Speaker 10: the party that is willing to go furthest on being
- 1:44:55Speaker 10: pro Gaza, pro Palestine, as it was this case one
- 1:44:57Speaker 10: week ago, that's the party that wins. So when President
- 1:45:01Speaker 10: Trump is looking at from the situation from the outside
- 1:45:03Speaker 10: and he's going, well, Britain's our greatest ally. We love Britain.
- 1:45:07Speaker 10: I personally love Britain. Britain's always been on our side.
- 1:45:10Speaker 10: Why is Britain suddenly now not interested in joining preemptive
- 1:45:15Speaker 10: strikes in the Middle East? What conclusion can he draw
- 1:45:20Speaker 10: that he's afraid of his own voters.
- 1:45:23Speaker 1: Wow, you're providing a nice cautionary tale for we here
- 1:45:25Speaker 1: in the United States of America who were facing a
- 1:45:28Speaker 1: similar being overrun by immigrants from foreign lands which you
- 1:45:32Speaker 1: do not share American values clearly, right?
- 1:45:35Speaker 10: May I say something at this stage, my assisting at
- 1:45:37Speaker 10: the stage, I've been doing this job. How long have
- 1:45:39Speaker 10: I been here? Thirteen fourteen years? And this is this
- 1:45:41Speaker 10: thing I always say when I have this opportunity to
- 1:45:45Speaker 10: speak from my rural idoll in the countryside in England,
- 1:45:49Speaker 10: because of course I've had to retreat here because I
- 1:45:51Speaker 10: cannot stand to live in London because it's as prisident.
- 1:45:53Speaker 10: Trump says, it's a very different town. And this is
- 1:45:56Speaker 10: the point I always make right. The great benefit I
- 1:45:59Speaker 10: bring to you, my American friends and cousins. I am
- 1:46:02Speaker 10: your crystal ball. What is happening here today is what's
- 1:46:06Speaker 10: coming for you in six months, six years, whatever. Okay,
- 1:46:10Speaker 10: this is the future. Pay attention, it's already landed. In Minnesota.
- 1:46:13Speaker 1: We're struggling with the Somali community and the in various
- 1:46:17Speaker 1: other ethnic or ethnic my recent ethic migrants who have
- 1:46:21Speaker 1: congregated in the individual cities and then elected politicians like
- 1:46:25Speaker 1: Ileanomar who share their thoughts and philosophies. But we can,
- 1:46:29Speaker 1: and we currently are taking steps to stop the flow
- 1:46:32Speaker 1: and hopefully keep our own personal identity and real quick
- 1:46:35Speaker 1: here we're struggling here in the United States. We have
- 1:46:38Speaker 1: a constitution that requires Congress to declare war. But we
- 1:46:42Speaker 1: also have a president who is recharged in charge of
- 1:46:45Speaker 1: and is the head of the American military, and he
- 1:46:47Speaker 1: directs military affairs, but he also our commander in chief
- 1:46:50Speaker 1: rather but he also is responsible for foreign policy. And
- 1:46:52Speaker 1: these things all overlap now in so far as Keer Starmer,
- 1:46:56Speaker 1: what is his authority? Can Parliament chime in on this
- 1:47:00Speaker 1: and say no, no, no, you got to play with
- 1:47:01Speaker 1: the Americans more nice. So you need to open up
- 1:47:02Speaker 1: these air bases to allow them for offensive and defensive strikes.
- 1:47:06Speaker 1: Is there some opportunity here for the United Kingdom to
- 1:47:09Speaker 1: change directions in terms of care Starmer's current stance on.
- 1:47:13Speaker 10: This great question. So obviously we don't have a written
- 1:47:16Speaker 10: constitution in the UK like you guys have in the US,
- 1:47:18Speaker 10: and there's a lot of not case law as such,
- 1:47:21Speaker 10: but there's center as a president built up here. I
- 1:47:25Speaker 10: believe the right to go to war is royal prerogative
- 1:47:28Speaker 10: and the King is advised by the Prime Minister. So
- 1:47:31Speaker 10: the King in Parliament is embodied there by the Prime Minister.
- 1:47:34Speaker 10: So if the Prime Minister wants to get to a war,
- 1:47:35Speaker 10: as far as we were, there's anything really that can
- 1:47:37Speaker 10: stop him, apart from unless Parliament gets so upset about
- 1:47:41Speaker 10: this that they have a photo no confidence in the
- 1:47:44Speaker 10: Prime Minister to bring down the government.
- 1:47:45Speaker 2: And that's that.
- 1:47:46Speaker 10: So what this means is in practice, if we know
- 1:47:51Speaker 10: action like this is coming, And a good example of
- 1:47:54Speaker 10: this is all this talk we're having at the moment
- 1:47:57Speaker 10: about a potential Western alliance of peacekeeper going to Ukraine.
- 1:48:01Speaker 10: Such a thing we know that's on the horizon, and
- 1:48:03Speaker 10: as a way to keep Parliament on side, the Prime
- 1:48:05Speaker 10: Minister has already said if we do this, we'll give
- 1:48:09Speaker 10: Parliament a vote on it first. But in terms of
- 1:48:13Speaker 10: the more immediate which is this business of will Starmer
- 1:48:18Speaker 10: won't he get involved with what's going on in Iran?
- 1:48:21Speaker 10: Actually this has nothing to do with Parliament. What this
- 1:48:24Speaker 10: comes down to is this sa Kere Starmer. Our prime
- 1:48:27Speaker 10: minister is actually relatively new in politics. He's only been
- 1:48:30Speaker 10: in Parliament for like ten years or something. And to
- 1:48:33Speaker 10: have gone from being a newbie backbencher to being Prime
- 1:48:36Speaker 10: Minister of the UK so quickly, very unusual, very impressive.
- 1:48:39Speaker 10: And the reason for this is he's not a career politician.
- 1:48:42Speaker 10: He is a human rights lawyer, very senior lawyer. Was
- 1:48:46Speaker 10: actually the Director of Public Prosecutions, the most senior prosecutor
- 1:48:51Speaker 10: in the whole of the UK, and that was his
- 1:48:53Speaker 10: last job before he came into politics. So he got
- 1:48:55Speaker 10: sort of imported into the Labor Party from this very
- 1:48:58Speaker 10: important legal job and as I say, human rights lawyer,
- 1:49:01Speaker 10: this guy is the world's number one fan of international
- 1:49:06Speaker 10: law is that he is the rules based international orders
- 1:49:11Speaker 10: like number one reply Guy, Okay, So he absolutely is
- 1:49:15Speaker 10: is dedicated to these concepts. And when it comes to
- 1:49:20Speaker 10: President Trump coming to the UK and saying, Okay, we're
- 1:49:23Speaker 10: going to launch these strikes, we need to use British bases,
- 1:49:26Speaker 10: I presume we have your permission, because we always have
- 1:49:28Speaker 10: in the past. So Kis Darmer's not looking at this
- 1:49:30Speaker 10: from a position of what is the British national interest?
- 1:49:33Speaker 10: What's best for the world? You know, how can I
- 1:49:36Speaker 10: help an ally? Why do I really have any good
- 1:49:39Speaker 10: reason to say no? He's looking at it from I've
- 1:49:41Speaker 10: got my stack of United Nations law textbooks here and
- 1:49:47Speaker 10: they say no, and ergo I must say no because
- 1:49:50Speaker 10: law is the most important thing in the world to me.
- 1:49:52Speaker 10: We are being ruled by a cabal of lawyers and
- 1:49:55Speaker 10: it is incredibly bad for this country. It is damaging
- 1:49:57Speaker 10: us on the world stage, and it is destroying the
- 1:49:59Speaker 10: special RelA.
- 1:50:00Speaker 1: So London Burea Chief Oliver Lane, your comment earlier that
- 1:50:03Speaker 1: kir Starmer believes that our actions against Iran are unlawful.
- 1:50:07Speaker 1: You're referring to his perception of international law might they
- 1:50:10Speaker 1: pivot over and ask what Kure Starmer's position is visa
- 1:50:12Speaker 1: the Iran's atrocities over the years murdering its own people,
- 1:50:17Speaker 1: and whether or not that too might buy vi A
- 1:50:19Speaker 1: violation of international law funding terrorist organizations who indiscriminately kill
- 1:50:23Speaker 1: people who enter Israel unlawfully and murder women, children, grandmothers,
- 1:50:27Speaker 1: burned babies. I mean, we could go on for hours
- 1:50:29Speaker 1: and hours the articulated position on any of those things
- 1:50:31Speaker 1: via international law exactly.
- 1:50:34Speaker 10: So this is the contradictions continue to roll on because
- 1:50:38Speaker 10: we have the reports from Britain's Foreign Intelligence Agency six,
- 1:50:44Speaker 10: Internal Intelligence Agency MI five. They are very clear that
- 1:50:47Speaker 10: Iran is a threat. In fact, in Parliament yesterday, when
- 1:50:51Speaker 10: Sir Kara Starmer was trying to build this case to
- 1:50:54Speaker 10: explain to the British people why he wasn't being involved,
- 1:50:57Speaker 10: he admitted that Iran had launched twenty attempted terror attacks
- 1:51:03Speaker 10: against people in Britain over the past year alone, and
- 1:51:07Speaker 10: every single one of those attacks was intercepted and foiled
- 1:51:09Speaker 10: by the intelligence agencies. Because, let's be honest, one of
- 1:51:12Speaker 10: the best things that Britain, one of the best things
- 1:51:14Speaker 10: in the world that Britain's do IS. We're very good
- 1:51:16Speaker 10: at being spies with the Nation of James Bond, so
- 1:51:19Speaker 10: we're very good at intercepting those terror attacks. That doesn't
- 1:51:22Speaker 10: change the fact they wanted to do them. They wanted
- 1:51:24Speaker 10: to kill those people. So he admitted that Britain is
- 1:51:27Speaker 10: under attack from Iran and our intelligence agents IS have
- 1:51:30Speaker 10: admitted that Iran is the number one sponsor of state
- 1:51:33Speaker 10: terrorism in the world. We are being attacked, our allies
- 1:51:37Speaker 10: are being attacked. The government admits this. And yet for Sikstarma,
- 1:51:41Speaker 10: no war because the United Nations hasn't said it's okay.
- 1:51:45Speaker 10: And to him that's the most important thing.
- 1:51:47Speaker 1: Wow. And considering the body the make up of the
- 1:51:49Speaker 1: United Nations, I mean, hell, they have the countries along
- 1:51:54Speaker 1: the lines of Iran on the Human Rights Council, for
- 1:51:56Speaker 1: God's sake, it's a laughable entity and organization. It becomes
- 1:52:01Speaker 1: more and more pointless every year. And what more can
- 1:52:04Speaker 1: I say. I'm just I'm thankful we have a constitution
- 1:52:07Speaker 1: because you and your bunk are out there in the world,
- 1:52:10Speaker 1: somewhere in the United Kingdom, Oliver Lane, you can speak
- 1:52:13Speaker 1: your mind here on the fifty five KRC Morning Show.
- 1:52:15Speaker 1: And I based upon everything I've read you might be
- 1:52:17Speaker 1: subject to arrest in your country for these words.
- 1:52:21Speaker 10: I pick my words very carefully and as we as
- 1:52:24Speaker 10: we all must in this country, which is a remarkable
- 1:52:27Speaker 10: situation to be in, because we live in a time
- 1:52:30Speaker 10: where the police conduct dorn arrests, down arrest braids, for
- 1:52:34Speaker 10: speech crimes, for throwaway tweets, you know, these little pops
- 1:52:40Speaker 10: here and there of thought which will get you into
- 1:52:43Speaker 10: the inside of a prison cell. So you know, we
- 1:52:46Speaker 10: have to be careful, we have to be sensible because
- 1:52:48Speaker 10: if I'm on the inside of a prison cell, well
- 1:52:50Speaker 10: I can't keep updating you what's happening in.
- 1:52:52Speaker 1: The world, and you wouldn't be on the fifty five
- 1:52:53Speaker 1: Krsy Morning Show, which my listening audience I truly appreciate.
- 1:52:57Speaker 1: We also appreciate what everything that bright Bart's doing each
- 1:52:59Speaker 1: and every day. Oliver Lane, London Bureau Chief, it is
- 1:53:02Speaker 1: always a pleasure to have you on the program. I
- 1:53:04Speaker 1: look forward to our discussions down the road again. And
- 1:53:06Speaker 1: have a wonderful week, my friend. Thanks for your time
- 1:53:08Speaker 1: this morning.
- 1:53:09Speaker 10: It's gonna be a busy week, but it's gonna be
- 1:53:10Speaker 10: a good one.
- 1:53:11Speaker 1: Thanks for me. I hope you are right on the
- 1:53:12Speaker 1: good part. Busy definitely from fifty.
- 1:53:15Speaker 6: Five KRC the Talk STATIONDG see.
- 1:53:20Speaker 1: Once fifty five KRC the talk station.
- 1:53:32Speaker 4: It is that time.
- 1:53:33Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Daniel Davis. It's time for the Daniel Davis
- 1:53:35Speaker 1: Deeve Dive. I was lasting and laughing at the bumper
- 1:53:37Speaker 1: music that Joe is playing from Pink Floyd generally speaking
- 1:53:40Speaker 1: about Warren generally, and that's what you and I typically
- 1:53:43Speaker 1: talk about. Said as it is, we are engaged in
- 1:53:45Speaker 1: global conflict and nobody knows better than Daniel Davis, retired
- 1:53:48Speaker 1: Lieutenant colonel. And you can find podcasts from Daniel Davis
- 1:53:50Speaker 1: throughout the week wherever you get your podcast. Daniel Davis
- 1:53:54Speaker 1: Deep Dive. Welcome back, my friend. Gie. It's too bad
- 1:53:56Speaker 1: we don't have anything to talk about today. Good to
- 1:53:58Speaker 1: have you back.
- 1:53:58Speaker 9: You know, I was thinking about that, Brian. It's like, man,
- 1:54:01Speaker 9: what are we going to talk about to day? There's
- 1:54:02Speaker 9: hard anything? Oh wait a minute, Oh yes, yike.
- 1:54:07Speaker 1: I don't want to throw a curveball because there's a
- 1:54:08Speaker 1: lot of you know, activity going on that we can
- 1:54:10Speaker 1: we can focus on it. We will. But I thought
- 1:54:12Speaker 1: it rather interesting, perhaps comical. If you can find levity
- 1:54:16Speaker 1: in this situation. I was talking to Congressman David Taylor,
- 1:54:19Speaker 1: I believe it was on Friday, and we were talking
- 1:54:22Speaker 1: about the War Powers Authorization of War Powers Resolution, Congressman
- 1:54:25Speaker 1: Massy Rokanna saying, listen, we got a vote on this.
- 1:54:28Speaker 1: He expressed some favor in that, and I said out loud,
- 1:54:31Speaker 1: well the votes next week sometime. I think they have
- 1:54:34Speaker 1: a queued up for Thursday. I said, well, what happens
- 1:54:37Speaker 1: if Donald Trump's launches the war over the weekend ahead
- 1:54:39Speaker 1: of the vote. And that's exactly what happened, So I
- 1:54:42Speaker 1: don't think he was necessarily trying to get out ahead
- 1:54:44Speaker 1: of the vote. What we found out, though, is I
- 1:54:46Speaker 1: guess the Israeli intelligence is pretty damn good. You think
- 1:54:50Speaker 1: a zoom call would have been a better idea for
- 1:54:52Speaker 1: the Ayatola and his top leaders. They all congregated in
- 1:54:55Speaker 1: one single spot. I thought they would have known better
- 1:54:58Speaker 1: than that. Daniel Davis, your reaction to that, Yeah.
- 1:55:02Speaker 9: It's it's a mixed one. At least according to what
- 1:55:05Speaker 9: the Iranians have said was that they they encouraged him
- 1:55:08Speaker 9: to go into another place. They encouraged him to go
- 1:55:11Speaker 9: into many underground bunkers that they have and he said, no,
- 1:55:15Speaker 9: I'm just gonna keep going about my normal business and
- 1:55:17Speaker 9: if I die, I die. Part of me thinks that
- 1:55:20Speaker 9: they that was part of the plan. As an eighty
- 1:55:22Speaker 9: six year old, I think he just said, you know what,
- 1:55:24Speaker 9: I'm gonna die. Use me as a martyr. That's where
- 1:55:27Speaker 9: I can best serve. That's what That's part of it.
- 1:55:29Speaker 9: But then the other part is less is less clear.
- 1:55:32Speaker 9: If you wanted to become a martyr, that's one thing,
- 1:55:35Speaker 9: But to have a meeting with a lot of your
- 1:55:37Speaker 9: top leaders that doesn't seem to be very wise. So
- 1:55:40Speaker 9: I think that was a big mistake. It could be
- 1:55:43Speaker 9: that they thought that, you know, the conventional military wisdom
- 1:55:46Speaker 9: is you attack in the middle of the not too
- 1:55:48Speaker 9: three am in the morning. That's kind of our motus opera.
- 1:55:50Speaker 9: And died and when the sun came up at like
- 1:55:52Speaker 9: six something. Apparently they had this meeting at eight, and
- 1:55:54Speaker 9: I guess they thought, Okay, well it's not going to
- 1:55:56Speaker 9: happen today, so let's come back together. And that curve
- 1:55:59Speaker 9: ball was pretty costly for the Iranian side.
- 1:56:02Speaker 1: Well, of course, it ties into the whole idea of
- 1:56:04Speaker 1: what is going to happen next? If this is regime change.
- 1:56:08Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll find out. But you know, there's a
- 1:56:10Speaker 1: command of control structure, there's a hierarchy, and most of
- 1:56:13Speaker 1: the hierarchy evaporated in that one bomb strike. So what's left.
- 1:56:18Speaker 1: I imagine there are enough fundamentalist individuals and somebody could
- 1:56:21Speaker 1: step in the shoes of the Iotola and take over
- 1:56:23Speaker 1: that role. But well, that person have the same power
- 1:56:26Speaker 1: and control that the late Iatola had, because I understand
- 1:56:30Speaker 1: this was like a cult of personality. He was the guy,
- 1:56:34Speaker 1: and what he said goes, and everything was built in
- 1:56:37Speaker 1: and around supporting him.
- 1:56:40Speaker 9: Well, this is something we need to understand here so
- 1:56:42Speaker 9: that we have a sober understanding of what should come next.
- 1:56:46Speaker 9: The Iranians fully foresaw this, and they had a plan
- 1:56:49Speaker 9: in place. They had a continuity's government plan like we
- 1:56:52Speaker 9: have here, and they had by some reports, two and
- 1:56:55Speaker 9: three deep on nearly all the senior leader positions. They
- 1:56:58Speaker 9: also had something that we're seeing play out in that
- 1:57:01Speaker 9: a version of the dead hand strategy to where if
- 1:57:03Speaker 9: you lose communications because they anticipated that we would hit
- 1:57:06Speaker 9: the command of control centers, that we would try to
- 1:57:08Speaker 9: knock out their computer system, cyber attax, et cetera. And
- 1:57:11Speaker 9: that they would lose connect connectivity, so they already had
- 1:57:14Speaker 9: an action plan in place and said, if you lose contact,
- 1:57:17Speaker 9: here's your actions. Don't wait for any more instructions. You
- 1:57:21Speaker 9: start launching these missile batteries. You start launching those, here's
- 1:57:24Speaker 9: your target set, et cetera. And it worked brilliantly from
- 1:57:28Speaker 9: the Iranian perspective. And I would challenge these characterizations that
- 1:57:32Speaker 9: I see a lot of people making that this as
- 1:57:34Speaker 9: a cult personality situation, because the Iranian situation is built
- 1:57:38Speaker 9: on a hierarchical system and a bureaucracy that transcends just
- 1:57:44Speaker 9: the iatola. He is a figure, he is important figure.
- 1:57:47Speaker 9: He is the head of state. But they have a
- 1:57:50Speaker 9: lot of other governing institutions and bodies and positions. So
- 1:57:54Speaker 9: I think that they are going to have more success
- 1:57:57Speaker 9: replacing this that I think many in the West may think.
- 1:57:59Speaker 9: And so far, that exactly the way it's worked out,
- 1:58:01Speaker 9: and there hadn't been any diminution or reduction in their
- 1:58:04Speaker 9: ability to conduct affairs or to have a coherent command
- 1:58:07Speaker 9: of control system. And you haven't seen anybody rise up
- 1:58:10Speaker 9: against it. And I'll tell you one other thing that's
- 1:58:12Speaker 9: not working out in our favor at all. On the
- 1:58:15Speaker 9: surface of it, you had this tragedy where a girls'
- 1:58:17Speaker 9: school was hit in the opening rounds of this, whether
- 1:58:20Speaker 9: by an American is there's really missed, We don't know yet,
- 1:58:23Speaker 9: but hundreds of kids were killed in teachers and that
- 1:58:27Speaker 9: has galvanized the country against us, and they're openly protested.
- 1:58:32Speaker 9: There was millions of people marching at their funeral I
- 1:58:34Speaker 9: think earlier today, just hours ago, and that is not
- 1:58:38Speaker 9: helping our hope that people would rise up against the
- 1:58:42Speaker 9: regime after we knocked out the Mola, the Iola and
- 1:58:45Speaker 9: then turn over right now, there's no evidence that's going
- 1:58:47Speaker 9: to happen at all.
- 1:58:48Speaker 1: Well, let me suggest perhaps it is because the Itola
- 1:58:52Speaker 1: had been going around killing tens of thousands of his
- 1:58:54Speaker 1: own people who did raise the spector did go out
- 1:58:56Speaker 1: and protest. Maybe they still have that taste in the
- 1:58:58Speaker 1: back of the mountain. They're waiting to see how things
- 1:59:00Speaker 1: settle out. So I can of course understand loyalists taking
- 1:59:03Speaker 1: to the street to protest a horrific action like blowing
- 1:59:06Speaker 1: up a school. Question is whether there's an equal, if
- 1:59:08Speaker 1: not greater number behind the scenes or keeping their powder
- 1:59:11Speaker 1: dry because they're afraid that well, the troops might pull
- 1:59:14Speaker 1: a kind of gun them down in the streets.
- 1:59:16Speaker 9: Well, they certainly may, and if a lot of them
- 1:59:19Speaker 9: protests up, that almost certainly would happen. But I'll tell
- 1:59:22Speaker 9: you there's another dynamic here. I've talked to somebody I
- 1:59:26Speaker 9: know that's in the United States that absolutely hated the regime.
- 1:59:29Speaker 9: In fact, it was driven out. His family was driven
- 1:59:31Speaker 9: out by I've talked to another friend of mine who
- 1:59:34Speaker 9: himself interviewed somebody, and these are two people that absolutely
- 1:59:38Speaker 9: hate the Iotota regime and all that and wanted to
- 1:59:41Speaker 9: be overthrown. But they said that we have put them
- 1:59:43Speaker 9: in this really, really awkward position to where you're saying, listen,
- 1:59:47Speaker 9: you're wanting us to help you who is attacking us,
- 1:59:51Speaker 9: Israel and the United States. You know, somebody who's been
- 1:59:54Speaker 9: an enemy of is or Iran for a long time,
- 1:59:57Speaker 9: and you're wanting us to somehow say, yes, we're going
- 1:59:59Speaker 9: to see, We're going to take your side. Who you're
- 2:00:02Speaker 9: killing our people, our civilians, and are blowing up our
- 2:00:05Speaker 9: cities and blowing up our military, and we're gonna help
- 2:00:08Speaker 9: you to try to overturn this. And then the other
- 2:00:10Speaker 9: thing they say, both of them said, is that, Look,
- 2:00:13Speaker 9: you've got a terrible track record of having regime change
- 2:00:17Speaker 9: and then just walking away and leaving chaos behind. And
- 2:00:19Speaker 9: we don't want to be another failed state. So that's
- 2:00:23Speaker 9: making people not want to embrace what we're doing. And
- 2:00:26Speaker 9: we got a lot of you know, we got a
- 2:00:28Speaker 9: lot of bad history there on our side. It doesn't
- 2:00:30Speaker 9: help us.
- 2:00:31Speaker 1: Well, I suppose intent isn't worth a wit when you're
- 2:00:33Speaker 1: talking about actual collateral damage, But the intent, I suppose,
- 2:00:37Speaker 1: and I think I'm on solid ground on this. We
- 2:00:39Speaker 1: don't want to kill the Iranian people. That may happen
- 2:00:42Speaker 1: as consequence of war, which happens all the time. That's
- 2:00:45Speaker 1: the regrettable part about it. That's why we all weep
- 2:00:47Speaker 1: over warfare, because innocent people die. But we are truly
- 2:00:50Speaker 1: after the military and the idea of liberating them from
- 2:00:55Speaker 1: the military. That's the thumb of oppression, as we would
- 2:00:57Speaker 1: put it, that prevents them from enjoying the free and
- 2:01:00Speaker 1: perhaps working cooperatively with their neighbors in the region.
- 2:01:04Speaker 9: Well, but you got to understand though, from I mean,
- 2:01:06Speaker 9: it's not too dissimilar from what we have here. We
- 2:01:09Speaker 9: may not a lot of people may not like you
- 2:01:11Speaker 9: know whoever's in the White House at any given time,
- 2:01:14Speaker 9: but everybody supports the troops. Well, there's a similar situation
- 2:01:17Speaker 9: in Iran, at least from part of it is that
- 2:01:20Speaker 9: the military per se that keeps them, you know, that's
- 2:01:23Speaker 9: their national security fences made up of people like them,
- 2:01:27Speaker 9: so they there's their neighbors and whatever the neighbor they
- 2:01:29Speaker 9: care about them. It's you know, it's the guys who
- 2:01:31Speaker 9: were given orders, especially the ones that were keeping security
- 2:01:35Speaker 9: that we're attacking the protesters. So those guys have a
- 2:01:37Speaker 9: different category. But the general military who are getting attacked
- 2:01:41Speaker 9: and stuff are part of the population. So that's that's
- 2:01:44Speaker 9: not necessarily they don't necessarily view them as an enemy.
- 2:01:47Speaker 1: At large, all right, Daniel Davis, You and I have
- 2:01:49Speaker 1: talked about this quite a few times in different battle theaters.
- 2:01:53Speaker 1: The same thing applies here, the potential of running out
- 2:01:56Speaker 1: of interceptors. We don't know how many bombs, rockets, long
- 2:01:59Speaker 1: term or long range missiles of the Iranians have. They
- 2:02:02Speaker 1: clearly have more, but we are going through the interceptors
- 2:02:05Speaker 1: of various types mentioned earlier, more than changes of underwear
- 2:02:10Speaker 1: you know, daily for me, and we're going through thousands
- 2:02:12Speaker 1: of these things, it looks like they're going to run
- 2:02:14Speaker 1: out at some point. We can't make them as quickly
- 2:02:16Speaker 1: as they need them, so more and more of these
- 2:02:18Speaker 1: rockets are going to end up hitting targets.
- 2:02:21Speaker 9: Yeah, that is a huge problem. And when we're already
- 2:02:23Speaker 9: seeing something I thank you and I talked about before.
- 2:02:26Speaker 4: Is that.
- 2:02:26Speaker 9: Listen, we saw in June twenty twenty five that a
- 2:02:30Speaker 9: lot of these Iranian missiles were getting through, and the
- 2:02:32Speaker 9: longer that war went, the more of them we're getting through.
- 2:02:34Speaker 9: And I said, there's no reason to think that they
- 2:02:36Speaker 9: wouldn't start the next round where they ended up the
- 2:02:38Speaker 9: last one. And that's how it's working out. I don't
- 2:02:40Speaker 9: know if you've been seeing a lot of these missiles
- 2:02:42Speaker 9: inner incoming into Israel. Yes, but I mean you see
- 2:02:45Speaker 9: sometimes there's these whole broadches and you see two or
- 2:02:47Speaker 9: three intercepted, and you see a bunch of them getting
- 2:02:50Speaker 9: through there. So even with the interceptors we have, there's
- 2:02:53Speaker 9: already a lot of the ballistic missiles that are getting through.
- 2:02:56Speaker 9: We have some success on the drones, at least some success.
- 2:03:00Speaker 9: Some of those are still getting through. But if you
- 2:03:01Speaker 9: get to the point of where there's not enough to
- 2:03:04Speaker 9: even shoot down some of the missiles here. Yeah, there's
- 2:03:07Speaker 9: going to be a world to hurt because look, I
- 2:03:09Speaker 9: think that Iran has foreseen this possibility and has prepared
- 2:03:12Speaker 9: for decades, for decades, and they have an enormous stock
- 2:03:16Speaker 9: pile of these things in these big underground missile cities
- 2:03:19Speaker 9: some are calling them, which they have released some video
- 2:03:21Speaker 9: and shows, and it's just tavernus and miles of underground tunnels.
- 2:03:25Speaker 9: And I'm talking to like massive things that you can
- 2:03:27Speaker 9: drive big trucks into, stuffed full of ammunition and weapons
- 2:03:32Speaker 9: and missiles, missile launchers, drones, the big ones, the medium
- 2:03:36Speaker 9: sized ones, all kinds of ordinance. So the evidence suggests
- 2:03:40Speaker 9: that they have more offensive missiles than we do defensive missiles.
- 2:03:43Speaker 9: And if this thing drags out, we're going to be
- 2:03:46Speaker 9: in some trouble.
- 2:03:46Speaker 1: Well, given Donald Trump's pronouncements that they haven't seen anything yet,
- 2:03:50Speaker 1: is it possible that intelligence sources know where these are
- 2:03:53Speaker 1: and like ultimately bombing the underground nuclear based or nuclear facilities,
- 2:03:58Speaker 1: that those two will be targets, maybe, you know, eviscerating
- 2:04:01Speaker 1: Iron's ability to like our interceptor missiles, their ability to
- 2:04:05Speaker 1: continue to launch these massive barrages.
- 2:04:09Speaker 9: I have no doubts that that's a priority target for us,
- 2:04:12Speaker 9: that has been from the beginning. I don't know why
- 2:04:13Speaker 9: we would wait on that. I'm not sure what Trump
- 2:04:16Speaker 9: may mean on that, but I'll just tell you these
- 2:04:18Speaker 9: facilities were built specifically to withstand those kinds of missiles,
- 2:04:22Speaker 9: and we have very few of these big GBU bunker
- 2:04:26Speaker 9: busters that we used in the Operation Midnight Hammer, and
- 2:04:30Speaker 9: even those had limited capacity under the very deeply underground
- 2:04:34Speaker 9: strikes that we hit there at four to Zho and tons,
- 2:04:37Speaker 9: et cetera. So we don't have that many. And some
- 2:04:39Speaker 9: of these have to be carried by B twos and
- 2:04:41Speaker 9: you have to fly over the target and that makes
- 2:04:43Speaker 9: them at risk of being shot down, so that it's
- 2:04:47Speaker 9: a big risk that goes along with that. But the
- 2:04:48Speaker 9: bottom line is there's so many of these and we
- 2:04:50Speaker 9: don't know where.
- 2:04:51Speaker 1: They all are.
- 2:04:52Speaker 9: This is a country, remember, four times bigger than the
- 2:04:55Speaker 9: country of Iraq geographically. This stuff is spread out all
- 2:04:58Speaker 9: over the place and you're not gonna find I mean,
- 2:05:00Speaker 9: just look how much trouble we had Israel had finding
- 2:05:03Speaker 9: all the tunnels of Hamas in this tiny little Gaza strip.
- 2:05:06Speaker 9: They never found them all They're still looking for some today.
- 2:05:09Speaker 9: If that gives you an indication of how hard it
- 2:05:11Speaker 9: is going to be for us to knock out Iran.
- 2:05:13Speaker 1: I always try to maintain an awareness of how vast
- 2:05:16Speaker 1: the land is. Yeah, two point four times the state
- 2:05:19Speaker 1: of Texas. That's a lot of real estate. The retired
- 2:05:22Speaker 1: Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis for the Daniel Davis Deep Die
- 2:05:24Speaker 1: find his podcast wherever you get yours, Daniel Davis. Something
- 2:05:27Speaker 1: tells me we were talking about this next Tuesday.
- 2:05:30Speaker 9: I have a feeling you're right.
- 2:05:32Speaker 1: Well, at least we have an interesting topic to talk about.
- 2:05:33Speaker 1: God bless you, sir. We'll talk text Tuesday. Have a
- 2:05:35Speaker 1: great week, my friend.
- 2:05:36Speaker 6: See the fifty five krs the talk station, Hey, forty
- 2:05:42Speaker 6: eight to.
- 2:05:42Speaker 1: Fifty five KRCD talks Station. I love when the doctor's
- 2:05:45Speaker 1: from OHC or in studio to talk about cancer because
- 2:05:48Speaker 1: one thing in this divided world that we all can
- 2:05:51Speaker 1: collectively agree on one hundred percent without hesitation, cancer sucks
- 2:05:55Speaker 1: without further ado. And I know OHC has been doing
- 2:05:57Speaker 1: clinical trust for a long long time, and I've learned
- 2:06:00Speaker 1: a lot about chronic clinical trials from the doctors that
- 2:06:03Speaker 1: I've talked to over the years, and apparently this is
- 2:06:06Speaker 1: the first place to start, not the last. Clinical trials
- 2:06:10Speaker 1: are how the folks at OHC and cancer researchers find
- 2:06:13Speaker 1: better treatments that are the vital step in providing cancer
- 2:06:16Speaker 1: patients hope. And joining me today in studio OHCS, Doctor A. G.
- 2:06:20Speaker 1: Glah is a medical oncologists and hematologists and director of
- 2:06:23Speaker 1: stem cell transplant and Cellular Therapy here to discuss why
- 2:06:26Speaker 1: clinical trials are a vital part of treating cancer. Welcome
- 2:06:30Speaker 1: to the fifty five Carcy Morning Show. It's a real
- 2:06:31Speaker 1: pleasure to have you here, doctor Glave.
- 2:06:33Speaker 11: Good morning, Thank you very much.
- 2:06:36Speaker 1: Guessing here, it's my pleasure, all right. The benefits of
- 2:06:39Speaker 1: being in a clinical trial. First off, what exactly is
- 2:06:42Speaker 1: a clinical trial? This boiled down to its barest curve.
- 2:06:45Speaker 11: Clinical trial is different stages of testing a new treatment.
- 2:06:49Speaker 11: So we start with phase one, Phase two, Phase three.
- 2:06:52Speaker 11: Phase one we're testing the safety of the product, Phase
- 2:06:57Speaker 11: two safety and efficacy, and stage three or phase three,
- 2:07:01Speaker 11: we're actually comparing it with the standard of care. So
- 2:07:04Speaker 11: there are many many steps for the clinical trials or
- 2:07:07Speaker 11: the product to make it to the market and to
- 2:07:10Speaker 11: be available for the patients, to make sure it's safe, effective,
- 2:07:15Speaker 11: better than what we have currently.
- 2:07:16Speaker 1: All right, So I would imagine stage one and two
- 2:07:19Speaker 1: confirm that it will directly address the cancer issue, and
- 2:07:24Speaker 1: then the stage three clinical trial is to determine whether
- 2:07:26Speaker 1: it does a better job than the previously recommended standard
- 2:07:30Speaker 1: of care.
- 2:07:30Speaker 11: Correct. And I'll be honest with you, with the pre
- 2:07:32Speaker 11: clinical work, we know it's safe, we know it works,
- 2:07:36Speaker 11: but we have to prove to FDA and everyone and
- 2:07:39Speaker 11: the patients that really it does that on a real
- 2:07:43Speaker 11: life issue.
- 2:07:44Speaker 2: All right.
- 2:07:45Speaker 1: So the hopeful benefit of being in a clinical trial
- 2:07:48Speaker 1: is you're going to get at least as far as
- 2:07:50Speaker 1: the prior standard of care. But the hope is it's
- 2:07:53Speaker 1: going to do a lot better job, better job less
- 2:07:56Speaker 1: side effects. Oh, you're in my wheelhouse now, sir. In
- 2:08:00Speaker 1: side effects, How does OHC handle cancer research for their
- 2:08:04Speaker 1: cancer patients? At least as so far as the clinical
- 2:08:06Speaker 1: trial areas can start.
- 2:08:07Speaker 11: So honestly, in my practice and my colleagues practice, we
- 2:08:11Speaker 11: offer patients clinical trial in every stage of the disease,
- 2:08:14Speaker 11: so frontline, second line, third and fourth line, we have
- 2:08:20Speaker 11: clinical trials that covers all these bases. And the advantage
- 2:08:24Speaker 11: of that you're getting actually the new technology and the
- 2:08:26Speaker 11: treatment in the current situation, it's going to be in
- 2:08:31Speaker 11: the future standard of care. And that happened with CARTI.
- 2:08:34Speaker 11: If you go back seven years ago when I was
- 2:08:37Speaker 11: studying that program at Duke, we had really clinical trials,
- 2:08:41Speaker 11: that's all what we had. But shortly after we have
- 2:08:44Speaker 11: as a standard of care and now we call it
- 2:08:46Speaker 11: cure essions with lymphoma. So you can see actually the
- 2:08:50Speaker 11: evolution of clinical trials becoming the standard of care. The
- 2:08:54Speaker 11: advantage of having a clinical trial early on you're getting
- 2:08:58Speaker 11: the new technology. You're actually helping other patients by proving
- 2:09:03Speaker 11: that this works.
- 2:09:04Speaker 1: Yeah, if you want to be altruistic, that's a place to.
- 2:09:07Speaker 11: Be absolutely and basically you're benefiting your disease. So these
- 2:09:13Speaker 11: therapy is most likely not chemotherapy. They are more target
- 2:09:16Speaker 11: therapy or immune therapy that has less different side effects
- 2:09:20Speaker 11: and less side effects than the chemotherapy that hits everything.
- 2:09:23Speaker 1: Well, being a medical oncologist nematologist, you did just mention
- 2:09:27Speaker 1: lymphoma and tell me a little bit more about blood
- 2:09:29Speaker 1: cancer program with HC and how you're helping patients, cause
- 2:09:32Speaker 1: I'm one of them.
- 2:09:35Speaker 11: Well, lymphomas is part of the hematological madignancies that we
- 2:09:39Speaker 11: deal with. Our program is actually a complete program, comprehensive
- 2:09:44Speaker 11: that does stem cell transplant, CARTI immune therapy and basically
- 2:09:49Speaker 11: the basic treatment of the hematologic madignancy is including them
- 2:09:53Speaker 11: filma my looma, acute leukemia's, chronic leukemias. And we see
- 2:09:57Speaker 11: also benign in hematology, so patients with anemia that's not
- 2:10:01Speaker 11: known why, whether iron deficiency or be twelve. Patients with
- 2:10:06Speaker 11: bleeding disorders we see that as well. Patients with clothing
- 2:10:09Speaker 11: disorder we see that. And we were quite you know,
- 2:10:13Speaker 11: advanced in our approach to these kind of things, given
- 2:10:16Speaker 11: the research that we're doing, given the experience that we
- 2:10:20Speaker 11: have in our group, I think this is a lot
- 2:10:23Speaker 11: to speak about.
- 2:10:24Speaker 1: Oh, I would imagine, So what are the newest trials
- 2:10:26Speaker 1: you have going on that people need to know about
- 2:10:28Speaker 1: along these lines, doctor law.
- 2:10:30Speaker 11: So we have actually multiple exciting trials. One of them
- 2:10:33Speaker 11: is actually a very new approach to breast cancer, so
- 2:10:37Speaker 11: triple negative breast cancer that's metaesthetic. We have a bryer
- 2:10:41Speaker 11: Cell which is a new clinical trial of allergenic carti
- 2:10:46Speaker 11: meaning carti coming from a different donor. And this is
- 2:10:50Speaker 11: just amazing to have CARTI invading the space of the
- 2:10:54Speaker 11: solid tumors, because most of the time it's for hermatological delgancies.
- 2:10:58Speaker 11: But now we talk about sol tumors. We also have
- 2:11:01Speaker 11: for acute leukemia a new trial coming in and it's
- 2:11:05Speaker 11: not only acute leukemia, is the acute teele and phoblastic leukemia, which.
- 2:11:09Speaker 10: Is rare kind of disease.
- 2:11:11Speaker 11: But the treatment for it, the standard treatment most of
- 2:11:14Speaker 11: the time is not that effective. So having the car
- 2:11:17Speaker 11: TI and that kind of space is extremely important.
- 2:11:20Speaker 1: Well, the doctors that have come in and preceded you,
- 2:11:23Speaker 1: doctor Gaal, talk about car TI this it's I hate
- 2:11:27Speaker 1: to be so bold and stating, and you can certainly
- 2:11:29Speaker 1: temper my optimism. It sounds to me like it is
- 2:11:33Speaker 1: going to be the magic bullet for many, if not all,
- 2:11:37Speaker 1: cancers down the road.
- 2:11:38Speaker 11: So I'm going to add to that.
- 2:11:39Speaker 1: Actually, oh yeah, double down, go ahead. Absolutely.
- 2:11:43Speaker 11: So when you look at the CARTI, what we're doing
- 2:11:45Speaker 11: today is going to be different in five years, it's
- 2:11:47Speaker 11: going to be car TI still the same concept. But
- 2:11:50Speaker 11: what we're doing with the CARTI itself as a construct
- 2:11:53Speaker 11: is just amazing. We're hitting different engines, we're hitting different pathways,
- 2:11:57Speaker 11: we're having less side effects the allegenetic cars which is
- 2:12:01Speaker 11: coming not necessarily from the patient, so we don't depend
- 2:12:04Speaker 11: on the immune system that's been beaten up. We depend
- 2:12:07Speaker 11: on a normal immune system to bring to the patients
- 2:12:10Speaker 11: and modify that to fight the disease. So honestly, uh,
- 2:12:14Speaker 11: we're going to see evolution of the car TIE and
- 2:12:16Speaker 11: I think you're absolutely right. It's going to be the
- 2:12:18Speaker 11: name of the game.
- 2:12:19Speaker 1: So if I can maybe rephrase it again correctly if
- 2:12:23Speaker 1: I'm wrong, Currently it's bespoke. Each individual patient has a
- 2:12:28Speaker 1: car TI therapy designed specifically for them. Someday you're going
- 2:12:33Speaker 1: to get a box off the shelf.
- 2:12:35Speaker 11: Absolutely, and we're doing that currently in terms of you know,
- 2:12:39Speaker 11: of the shelf. And I think that's a great term
- 2:12:42Speaker 11: because the manufacturing time of CARTI takes average of three weeks.
- 2:12:46Speaker 11: But with the ilegenatic one, that's off the shelf literally,
- 2:12:49Speaker 11: oh god, you know.
- 2:12:50Speaker 1: So that's you know, that's exciting stuff right there, doctor Glow.
- 2:12:54Speaker 1: And that's see, this is the kind of thing. Someday
- 2:12:56Speaker 1: you're going to come in here and you just say
- 2:12:58Speaker 1: it's done.
- 2:12:58Speaker 3: You've got it.
- 2:12:59Speaker 1: We've beat cancer. So all right, Clinical trials OHG. That's
- 2:13:03Speaker 1: what it's all about. Be there, be altruistic, but also
- 2:13:06Speaker 1: be in the cutting edge of cancer research. Listen, I'm
- 2:13:08Speaker 1: a patient. I happy to have them in here and
- 2:13:10Speaker 1: support with the work that they're doing, but they give
- 2:13:12Speaker 1: me wonderful treatments. So to learn more about OHC cancer treatments,
- 2:13:16Speaker 1: a second opinion, and learn about clinical trials that probably
- 2:13:18Speaker 1: are available for you at OHC, visit ohcare dot com,
- 2:13:23Speaker 1: ohcare dot com, or give them a call. It eight
- 2:13:25Speaker 1: eight eight sixty eight hundred. That's eight eight eight six
- 2:13:28Speaker 1: four nine forty eight hundred, doctor Glaw. Exciting stuff. Thank
- 2:13:31Speaker 1: you so much for coming in and talking about Lisciener
- 2:13:33Speaker 1: to me today
