Speaker 2: Shows should be on.
0:03
Speaker 3: Fifty five KRC, the talk station.
0:15
Speaker 2: Above.
0:15
Speaker 1: Oh five, I think you have k r C the
0:20
Speaker 1: talk station.
0:23
Speaker 2: Friday Eve.
0:37
Speaker 1: Called Kenny Loggins because you're in the danger zone. Yeah,
0:40
Speaker 1: maybe Happy Friday Eve slash Thursday call it. Well, you
0:43
Speaker 1: want Brian Thomas right here? Glad to be glad. Joe
0:44
Speaker 1: Strecker's in there, although I can't see him. We see
0:48
Speaker 1: each other through an internal camera system which pops up
0:51
Speaker 1: on the screen. Since I'm in a studio with no windows,
0:53
Speaker 1: as is Joe, the camera's out. Technical difficulties will be
0:58
Speaker 1: easily overcome. So I'm sure Joe's in there, at least
1:00
Speaker 1: I hope he is. You know, Joe. I do look
1:02
Speaker 1: up to see if you've departed the room from time
1:04
Speaker 1: to time, especially like if calls drop out, like where's Joe,
1:07
Speaker 1: Where's Joe? Oh my god? Anyhow, well, we got in
1:10
Speaker 1: a memory of understanding, and I'm not quite sure it
1:13
Speaker 1: really means anything. Walk through some of the provisions of
1:15
Speaker 1: that coming up, and we will definitely be doing that
1:17
Speaker 1: with Congressman Warren Davidson. Question mark is the war over?
1:21
Speaker 1: I depose it depends on your view of the agreement,
1:24
Speaker 1: which seems to be I I'm gonna put my subjective
1:28
Speaker 1: sort of view of it and say it seems to
1:32
Speaker 1: be lopsided in favor of the Iranians. And it also
1:35
Speaker 1: is swirling with a whole bunch of you know, we
1:36
Speaker 1: need we agree to sit down and negotiate and agree
1:39
Speaker 1: upon some time down in the future to hopefully accomplish something.
1:43
Speaker 1: And I just seem so much opportunity to wiggle room
1:47
Speaker 1: and or for wiggle room as well. There's a ton
1:49
Speaker 1: of opportunity for wiggle room. The question is who's going
1:51
Speaker 1: to be trying to wriggle more and will it be
1:53
Speaker 1: the Iranians who have demonstrated over their entire forty seven
1:56
Speaker 1: year history that they are liars. Yeah, I said it
1:59
Speaker 1: out loud. They are illustration over illustrations like yeah, well
2:04
Speaker 1: we'll sit down and yeah, we'll work with you. And
2:06
Speaker 1: you just gotta remember their working with a great Satan.
2:08
Speaker 1: They think we are the devil there, we are the
2:11
Speaker 1: evil incarnate in the world we need to be. And
2:14
Speaker 1: I was thinking about that concept the other day because
2:16
Speaker 1: we've had this discussion before. What is the Iranians perception
2:19
Speaker 1: of the United States and will they really truly want
2:21
Speaker 1: to and agree to negotiate in good faith, meaning that
2:25
Speaker 1: what they're saying is actually what they really mean. And
2:28
Speaker 1: I find it hard to believe that they would. They
2:34
Speaker 1: think we are the embodiment of evil, truly. And if
2:42
Speaker 1: you look at what the Iranian, the fundamentalist Islamists, they
2:48
Speaker 1: want to live in a world that was like five
2:50
Speaker 1: hundred you know, five hundred AD. What they view us as,
2:55
Speaker 1: let's put it this week, like Sodom and Gomorrah. They
2:58
Speaker 1: are very, very very strict religiously. If you haven't gotten
3:02
Speaker 1: a memo on that, they will kill homosexuals just for
3:04
Speaker 1: being homosexual, chuck them off a building, be had them whatever,
3:07
Speaker 1: that's okay for them. Women must be covered head to toe.
3:11
Speaker 1: You cannot tempt a man. And I don't know what
3:14
Speaker 1: the foundation for that dress code is, but I can
3:17
Speaker 1: only imagine that well. Men being men, and me being
3:21
Speaker 1: proudly one of them. I know what goes through my
3:23
Speaker 1: head when I see a beautiful woman. Been that way
3:26
Speaker 1: since I discovered that there were women in the world
3:29
Speaker 1: that I was attracted to Karen Fulwards in kindergarten, right
3:31
Speaker 1: from that day forward, you know, boom, good morning, Karen,
3:34
Speaker 1: if you're out there, I haven't seen her in like
3:36
Speaker 1: forty years. That was a cute little girl with a
3:39
Speaker 1: purple coat, and I would run across the playground. Okay
3:42
Speaker 1: from that moment forward. M So, I know what drives
3:46
Speaker 1: the male. It's you know, put the little horny sign
3:50
Speaker 1: up on your head with your fingers and go ahead
3:53
Speaker 1: and work with that one. So maybe the reason that
3:55
Speaker 1: they want to cover women head to toes because men
3:57
Speaker 1: well can't be trusted with their own libidos. We are
4:01
Speaker 1: the antithesis of that. You can pretty much run around
4:04
Speaker 1: butt naked anywhere you want to go in the United
4:05
Speaker 1: States anymore, just one little, you know, sort of component
4:09
Speaker 1: of it. And you know, we undermine religion every single
4:15
Speaker 1: day in the America. I mean, if you're a Christian,
4:17
Speaker 1: you know darn well you've been facing an uphill battle
4:19
Speaker 1: against Hollywood. For example, another illustration of why the Iranians
4:23
Speaker 1: probably hate us. Look what comes out of Hollywood. I
4:27
Speaker 1: mean in their mind, presumably the religious mullas, the leaders
4:30
Speaker 1: and the very fundamentalist religious people over there just probably
4:33
Speaker 1: assume that all of this stuff is in their mind poornography,
4:36
Speaker 1: and it whittles away at things religious. See how you're
4:40
Speaker 1: Christians putting back in the Christian perspective. You can see
4:43
Speaker 1: how that happens over time. It's a little wittle here,
4:46
Speaker 1: it's a little whittle there. It's one comedian making fun
4:49
Speaker 1: of you crazy Christians for believing, you know, God Jesus
4:52
Speaker 1: has sent it into heaven or came back from the dead,
4:54
Speaker 1: and they ah think you're an idiot for doing that
4:56
Speaker 1: or believing that. They've been doing that for my entire life. Well,
5:04
Speaker 1: just because the fundamentalists, fundamentalist Islamas haven't gotten as much
5:08
Speaker 1: of the anti or the undermining treatment from the Hollywood
5:12
Speaker 1: types and those that have sway an influence over people
5:14
Speaker 1: generally speaking, they could easily see themselves next on the list.
5:19
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I've heard many people over the
5:21
Speaker 1: years make fun of the fact that there is apparently
5:23
Speaker 1: part of the belief system among the fundamentalist Iranians if
5:26
Speaker 1: you die a noble death, in other words, if you
5:28
Speaker 1: die going after and trying to kill the Great Satan
5:30
Speaker 1: when you die, you're gonna get seventy two virgins. Do
5:34
Speaker 1: the math on that one. And my reaction to something
5:38
Speaker 1: like that is, oh, that's just crazy, which is exactly
5:42
Speaker 1: their reaction. Do pretty much anything any other religion beliefs
5:44
Speaker 1: are you know, any other religion pushes or has by
5:48
Speaker 1: way of doctrine and dogma. So you know, it's impossible
5:51
Speaker 1: for many people to step outside that. But you have
5:53
Speaker 1: to appreciate this is how they view us. We are
5:56
Speaker 1: a threat to them, beyond the military threat, beyond the bropping,
6:00
Speaker 1: beyond you know, any economic sanctions or whatever. Western culture.
6:08
Speaker 1: Western culture is a threat to the fundamentalists to run
6:13
Speaker 1: the country. I remember the woman used to cut my
6:17
Speaker 1: hair in Chicago.
6:18
Speaker 4: She was.
6:21
Speaker 1: Islamic faith came from a pre Ayahtola ran when the
6:28
Speaker 1: shaw ran things and the cities were modern, and women
6:30
Speaker 1: were able to wear the modern clothes and you know
6:33
Speaker 1: everything that went along with it, no covering of faces,
6:36
Speaker 1: no Sharia law, an open society. And of course when
6:39
Speaker 1: you got fundamentalist Islam floating around a country that is
6:42
Speaker 1: Islamic generally speaking, and it grows, you know, they start
6:45
Speaker 1: pointing at things like that. Look, Western culture is seeping
6:49
Speaker 1: into and will undermine our religious philosophy. We must stop this.
7:01
Speaker 1: We are a threat to their existence, not from a
7:05
Speaker 1: military perspective, but from a cultural perspective. And that's I
7:12
Speaker 1: am making the argument. Although no theologian, I no expert
7:16
Speaker 1: in things Islamic. I just know what they push and
7:18
Speaker 1: what they insist on when the fundamentalist Islamas take over
7:21
Speaker 1: right sharia law, and that is so far away and
7:28
Speaker 1: anathetical to Western culture and what we perceive freedom, liberty,
7:33
Speaker 1: do what you want, you know, enjoy yourself, have fun,
7:35
Speaker 1: he embrace the lgbt, q R, s w X y
7:38
Speaker 1: Z culture. All of that. They think it's crazy and
7:42
Speaker 1: they realize it's a threat. So with all that in mind,
7:45
Speaker 1: you got this memorandum understanding with you know, with with
7:47
Speaker 1: with terms and conditions that need to be negotiated that
7:50
Speaker 1: are so far I mean so complicated, each individual one,
7:55
Speaker 1: like the future fees and tolls that are presumably going
7:58
Speaker 1: to be charged. Oh it's fees. Now, it's not international
8:00
Speaker 1: law prohibits tolls. But boy, if you're providing a service,
8:04
Speaker 1: for example, to get your so many others some other
8:07
Speaker 1: countries boat through and you're providing logistical support, or you're
8:11
Speaker 1: providing some sort of maritime support and getting that boat
8:15
Speaker 1: through the strait, you're entitled to a fee. So makes
8:18
Speaker 1: the argument or so is the argument from I suppose
8:20
Speaker 1: the Iranians in this thing, particular thing. But if you
8:22
Speaker 1: can make the argument, you know they're going to be
8:23
Speaker 1: making that, Oh, we help out, so therefore we're entitled
8:26
Speaker 1: to be paid for our help. The three hundred million
8:30
Speaker 1: billion dollars they're supposed to rebuild Iran, even though they
8:32
Speaker 1: cause themselves billions and billions of dollars in damage to
8:36
Speaker 1: our naval or our military facilities, other Arab nations countries,
8:40
Speaker 1: and we could go on and on and on about
8:42
Speaker 1: the damage the Iranians did in this we are collectively
8:47
Speaker 1: some weed, maybe not the United States, but we're facilitating
8:50
Speaker 1: a hell about it. If you read the terms of
8:52
Speaker 1: the memoranda of understanding the rebuilding of Iran with a
8:56
Speaker 1: stated amount of three hundred billion dollars, also sanctions, relief,
8:59
Speaker 1: and oil coming out of the ports. That's a lot
9:02
Speaker 1: of billions of dollars going back to the Iranians. And
9:04
Speaker 1: apparently there's nothing in there, or there is nothing in
9:08
Speaker 1: there which limits the Iranians on what they can spend
9:13
Speaker 1: that money on. Some are suggesting maybe they will be
9:17
Speaker 1: funding terrorists proxy either they're terrorist proxies. Hes Baba may
9:21
Speaker 1: get a chunk of that released funds. There's no prohibition.
9:25
Speaker 1: They may start buying missiles and building more drones. There's
9:28
Speaker 1: no prohibition on the use of money for that either,
9:31
Speaker 1: And even if there were, if you throw in billions
9:33
Speaker 1: and billions of dollars into the Iranian economy, we can't
9:36
Speaker 1: even trace where medicaid and medicare dollars and any other
9:39
Speaker 1: federal program dollars are in our own country, using our
9:42
Speaker 1: own technology. With the American taxpayer dollars at stake here,
9:46
Speaker 1: how in God's name are we're going to figure out
9:48
Speaker 1: where in the hell the Iranians are spending the billions
9:50
Speaker 1: of dollars that will flow to them under this agreement.
9:53
Speaker 1: I'm suggesting we can't and we won't. But I'm also suggesting,
9:56
Speaker 1: based upon forty seven years of the country's attitude and conduct,
10:00
Speaker 1: and going back to my point, they think we are
10:02
Speaker 1: the ultimate evil, Why would you, you know, capitulate too
10:05
Speaker 1: or otherwise honor the terms of an agreement you entered
10:08
Speaker 1: into with the Great Satan and again in forty seven
10:12
Speaker 1: years to demonstrate that they don't and they won't. I
10:18
Speaker 1: for one am glad that at least it's supposed to
10:20
Speaker 1: at least it says it does bring about an end
10:22
Speaker 1: to military operations, but it's a little lopseted toward the
10:25
Speaker 1: Iranians on that side too. So anyway, if you got
10:29
Speaker 1: some comments on what's going on, maybe I'm just being
10:30
Speaker 1: an idiot this morning, five o'clock hour. I admit that
10:33
Speaker 1: I can be from time to time just trying to
10:35
Speaker 1: get it out of my system and trying to figure
10:37
Speaker 1: out where the hell we are in the world. Maybe
10:39
Speaker 1: Congressman Davidson can help us with that. At seven oh five,
10:41
Speaker 1: Donovan and Neil Americans for Prosperity on the America two
10:44
Speaker 1: fifty celebration in Columbus. Crazy information about that plot that
10:51
Speaker 1: was designed to attack the White House of that UFC event.
10:54
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw the details on that.
10:55
Speaker 1: I think it's just a bunch of batcrap crazy. You know,
10:58
Speaker 1: nineteen to thirty year old people who believe they were
11:01
Speaker 1: capable of pulling something like that off. But it's crazy.
11:04
Speaker 1: I pray to God and nothing like that happens in
11:06
Speaker 1: the America two fifty celebration or any of the other
11:08
Speaker 1: celebrations of America's birthday. Something we should all be very
11:12
Speaker 1: proud of Jay Ratliffe iHeart Media Aviation expert Jay Ratliffe
11:15
Speaker 1: coming up at eight thirty. Always enjoy that and I
11:17
Speaker 1: love hearing from you. Five one three, seven, four nine
11:20
Speaker 1: fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two three talk
11:22
Speaker 1: Pound five fifty on AT and T phones. Be right
11:25
Speaker 1: back after a few brief words.
11:26
Speaker 3: This is fifty five KRC an iHeartRadio Station.
11:32
Speaker 1: Five one three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight
11:34
Speaker 1: hundred eight to two three talk love hear from him?
11:36
Speaker 1: You got something to say? And before I get well
11:39
Speaker 1: high comedy at the expense of the uh well, the
11:42
Speaker 1: efficiency or lack there over the United States Postal Services
11:46
Speaker 1: got our friend Steve said, it us out some pretty
11:48
Speaker 1: interesting things to say about the postal system. Anyway, Get
11:51
Speaker 1: over to fifty five cars dot com sign the Smith
11:53
Speaker 1: Amen petition if Jim and Jack's among other places where you,
11:56
Speaker 1: if you're a voter in the city of Cincinnati, should
11:58
Speaker 1: sign the petition so at least have some council oversight
12:02
Speaker 1: on the hiring and firing of the police and fire chiefs.
12:05
Speaker 1: Important to do that. That's ultimately going to be a
12:07
Speaker 1: money saver, considering the antics or share long acting independently
12:11
Speaker 1: have almost guaranteed, if not fully guaranteed, former fire Chief
12:14
Speaker 1: Washington a big fat, multi million dollar settlement for wrongful
12:17
Speaker 1: termination and ruining his reputation in the process. Police Chief
12:21
Speaker 1: dg probably setting herself or has already been set up
12:24
Speaker 1: for a similar kind of outcome. Maybe that wouldn't have
12:26
Speaker 1: happened had one member of council even raised their hand
12:29
Speaker 1: because they had the right to, and said, does anybody
12:33
Speaker 1: have a reason we are firing the chief? Hmm? That
12:38
Speaker 1: would be in the connection with former fire Chief Washington,
12:41
Speaker 1: who was terminated at least since so far as he
12:44
Speaker 1: is concerned, I have a question, since we're placing our
12:46
Speaker 1: administrative leave setting her up for termination, someone please explain
12:50
Speaker 1: to me why we were placing police Chief DJI on
12:53
Speaker 1: administrative leave and making Hanny the interim chief. Anyone anybody
13:00
Speaker 1: got an answer? Ms long, mister Purval. Someone see some
13:05
Speaker 1: out loud questions might have avoided the liability that is
13:08
Speaker 1: clearly going to flow from these stupid decisions. More people
13:11
Speaker 1: talking about it, you get a group exchange of ideas.
13:14
Speaker 1: That's what the point of petition is. So at least
13:16
Speaker 1: Jim and Jack's among the places if you're eligible to
13:19
Speaker 1: vote in the city, get it on the ballot. Let
13:21
Speaker 1: the general population decide, assuming more than one out of
13:24
Speaker 1: four eligible voters shows up. Dan Carroll talked with Corey
13:27
Speaker 1: Bowman yesterday and thanks to Nan Carol for covering forming
13:29
Speaker 1: my wife and out where my wife and I were
13:31
Speaker 1: out late on Tuesday night. I would have only had
13:33
Speaker 1: like two hours sleep. And if you think I'm bad
13:35
Speaker 1: in the morning, you don't want me on with only
13:38
Speaker 1: a couple hours of sleep. So the Big Picture with
13:41
Speaker 1: Jack adad and also featured on the program yesterday, and
13:43
Speaker 1: I'm glad Jack was on in my absence, so appreciate
13:46
Speaker 1: everybody doing that. Anyway, Over to Steve, I love this
13:51
Speaker 1: great example of wire obese postal monopoly constantly needs billions
13:55
Speaker 1: and billions of our tax dollars for bailouts, and whether
13:58
Speaker 1: or not that's an accurate assessment. Of course, the postal
14:01
Speaker 1: system loses massive amounts of money every single year, and
14:04
Speaker 1: you scratch your helf in one and your head wonder
14:06
Speaker 1: how could that possibly be? Well, when you send a
14:09
Speaker 1: package from Sacramento, California to a local zip code here
14:15
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, that is one trip right now may be
14:19
Speaker 1: broken up into various little stops along the way. You know,
14:22
Speaker 1: you've got these these facilities that are interim like distribution centers,
14:26
Speaker 1: and packages are collected and putting different areas. In that way,
14:29
Speaker 1: they're all you know, combined going to one area. So
14:32
Speaker 1: there's some efficiency theoretically built into the process. Let's trace
14:36
Speaker 1: Steve's package June first. Shipping label created in Sacramento, California.
14:46
Speaker 1: It was accepted at the USPS facility June first. It
14:51
Speaker 1: departed the USPS USPS Facility Sacramenty on June first, a
14:55
Speaker 1: little later in the morning, eleven thirty in the morning.
14:59
Speaker 1: Then it shows it's intransit for a couple of days,
15:02
Speaker 1: and it arrived at the distribution center in Indianapolis on
15:06
Speaker 1: the third. So Sacramento the distribution center to two days,
15:10
Speaker 1: maybe a little less then considering when it was actually
15:12
Speaker 1: shipped out. Fine, it's making progress in the right direction, right,
15:16
Speaker 1: all right. So you move forward to a little later
15:19
Speaker 1: in the day on June fourth, at seven thirty pm,
15:23
Speaker 1: it arrived at the USPS facility distribution center in Cincinnati.
15:29
Speaker 1: Not bad couple three days. It already is in the
15:32
Speaker 1: greater Cincinnati area, so it's going to be sent out
15:35
Speaker 1: to his address right hold on June fifth. Next day,
15:41
Speaker 1: it's departed the USPS facility Cincinnati, and it arrived at
15:46
Speaker 1: a USPS facility in Cincinnati a little bit later in
15:48
Speaker 1: the day. And it arrived at a distribution center on
15:52
Speaker 1: the sixth at about noontime. And then there's a suspicious
15:57
Speaker 1: gap between thee and six arrival at the Cincinnati distribution
16:03
Speaker 1: center and the next stop the USPS facility in Sacramento, California,
16:09
Speaker 1: there's a distribution arrived there on the twelfth at about
16:13
Speaker 1: ten pm and departed fast forward another day. It says, now,
16:18
Speaker 1: this is a real comical one, and I don't know
16:20
Speaker 1: how you can make any heads or tail sense out
16:22
Speaker 1: of this, and I don't think he possibly can. But
16:24
Speaker 1: it says on June fourteenth, at about six pm, it
16:27
Speaker 1: arrived at the Indianapolis distribution center again and it departed
16:31
Speaker 1: that distribution center shortly thereafter. But it also departed where
16:36
Speaker 1: it says, this is for the one tracked package. It
16:38
Speaker 1: also departed the Salt Lake City, Utah distribution center a
16:42
Speaker 1: minute later on the same day. Okay, Ultimately it arrived
16:48
Speaker 1: back at the Cincinnati distribution center June fifteenth. Remember mailed
16:54
Speaker 1: out June first, arrived back here after its circuitous journey
16:58
Speaker 1: around this great land of ours on June fifteenth. Now
17:01
Speaker 1: here's where maybe we find out the USPS is losing
17:03
Speaker 1: money if this happens on a regular basis, If you're
17:06
Speaker 1: only charging let's say, five bucks to send this, and
17:09
Speaker 1: you're putting it on airplanes and trucks going all around
17:12
Speaker 1: the United States on multiple different trips that they don't
17:15
Speaker 1: need to be on, then yeah, you found at least
17:18
Speaker 1: one source of the waste in the post office five
17:21
Speaker 1: twenty six fifty five KRC the talk station local stories
17:24
Speaker 1: or phone calls. Either way we go it. Say okay
17:25
Speaker 1: with me, but I'll be right back.
17:27
Speaker 3: Fifty five KRC the talk station.
17:30
Speaker 1: Thirty on a Friday, eight five point three seven fifty
17:34
Speaker 1: eight hundred eight two three talk pound by fifty on
17:36
Speaker 1: AT and T phones before I jump over to call, Yes,
17:38
Speaker 1: Thomas on the line, and I take it. But I
17:40
Speaker 1: just want to let you know. For those sitting on
17:41
Speaker 1: the edge of their seat wondering about the fiscal year
17:43
Speaker 1: budget for twenty twenty seven in the city of downtown Cincinnati, yes,
17:46
Speaker 1: the Farmer Music Center will be getting two million dollars
17:49
Speaker 1: in spite of the fact the project never needed it
17:51
Speaker 1: to get built, was going to get built anyway, and
17:53
Speaker 1: any tax revenue generated from it that the city would
17:55
Speaker 1: be owed the city was going to get anyway. So
17:58
Speaker 1: with a twenty million dollar hole or million dollars hold,
18:00
Speaker 1: they had to dig themselves out of. Question mark. Why
18:02
Speaker 1: would they be giving two million dollars to that particular project?
18:05
Speaker 1: Question mark? Will that ever be answered? That question? What's
18:08
Speaker 1: going on behind the scenes with that? Could it be
18:10
Speaker 1: the property of the city wants to acquire down the
18:13
Speaker 1: road under some future proposal with money that they don't
18:16
Speaker 1: have to buy it. There's property adjacent to it, City
18:18
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati, within the City of Cincinnati. Maybe that has
18:21
Speaker 1: something to do with it. It's been brought up a
18:23
Speaker 1: few times. Anyway, Tom, welcome to the Morning Show. In
18:26
Speaker 1: a very happy Friday eve to you, brother.
18:30
Speaker 5: I can now sleep better at night knowing that the
18:33
Speaker 5: City of Cincinnati has put extra money into that project
18:37
Speaker 5: I was. I was so worried. I know that that
18:41
Speaker 5: a venue that I probably will never go to might
18:45
Speaker 5: not even drive by. Since I'm living in Coleraine and
18:49
Speaker 5: spending most of my time in Indianapolis, right now.
18:51
Speaker 1: That's true.
18:52
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm so. I am so relieved. It's wow. Well,
18:55
Speaker 5: thank god that they.
18:56
Speaker 1: Figured in another the other component of time, aren't you so?
19:00
Speaker 1: And and happy that, you know, because we have this big
19:02
Speaker 1: hole in our music venual a venue options that we
19:06
Speaker 1: have at least a new music venue, because there literally
19:09
Speaker 1: was no place for any out of town acts to
19:11
Speaker 1: perform in the greater Cincinnati area.
19:14
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean other than the other seven or eight,
19:17
Speaker 5: there was really nowhere else to go. So yes, agreed.
19:20
Speaker 5: And my only really disappointment in it is that I'm
19:24
Speaker 5: not currently working in the city of Cincinnati and having
19:26
Speaker 5: some of my taxpayer dollars go to that. So I'm
19:29
Speaker 5: I kind of feel left out. Brian, Is there any
19:31
Speaker 5: way I can make a donation to this, because you know,
19:35
Speaker 5: I just I feel like I'm being left out?
19:38
Speaker 1: Of course you can, there's multiple ways. Go ahead and
19:41
Speaker 1: pay extra Joe, Joe here, Joe's got an idea addressed
19:44
Speaker 1: the that you make the check payable to either cash
19:47
Speaker 1: or to the order of Joseph Streker.
19:50
Speaker 5: Joseph Joseph Stretch and then.
19:52
Speaker 1: Send it, gotcha, send it to the Towers of Kenwood.
19:55
Speaker 1: You know, eighty forty four Montgomery Road.
19:57
Speaker 5: You get it speak speaking of you, guys, I I
20:01
Speaker 5: you you have no problem with some self deprecation. And
20:04
Speaker 5: and if you can't find if you can't find levity
20:07
Speaker 5: in your own behavior, you can't realize your own and
20:11
Speaker 5: this is anyone in general. If you can't realize your
20:13
Speaker 5: own faults and failures, and then you know you're not
20:17
Speaker 5: being real with yourself. But I want to make sure.
20:20
Speaker 5: I want to make sure, Brian, you get you get
20:23
Speaker 5: a pat on the back because you do. You are
20:25
Speaker 5: pushing through and you're doing a good job. I don't,
20:28
Speaker 5: I don't. I mean, in all seriousness, you know you
20:30
Speaker 5: do a good job. One of the worst things when
20:33
Speaker 5: you're listening to radio is dead air. And I I
20:36
Speaker 5: I don't. I can't remember the last time that ever
20:37
Speaker 5: happened on this show. That's that seems like a low
20:40
Speaker 5: hanging fruit thing. But you listen to some shows and
20:43
Speaker 5: it's like you turn to turn the station to the
20:45
Speaker 5: to the you know, turn it to that station is
20:47
Speaker 5: like there's nothing of it, something wrong with the something
20:50
Speaker 5: wrong with my radio. And then all of a sudden
20:51
Speaker 5: you hear the person talk like you don't hear that
20:53
Speaker 5: here so that's just a that's a to me, that's
20:55
Speaker 5: basic one on one radio. But that's just one example
20:58
Speaker 5: you're doing. You're doing a really good job, and I
21:00
Speaker 5: don't want you to beat yourself up too much.
21:02
Speaker 1: So I appreciate it, Tom, And yeah, I am self deprecating,
21:04
Speaker 1: but you know, I'm a human being, and I listen
21:07
Speaker 1: to other programs and other you know, noted notables. I
21:11
Speaker 1: hate the word celebrity because I don't want to be
21:12
Speaker 1: included among them. But quite often you just scratch your
21:16
Speaker 1: head and wonder, lord, Lord almighty, how is it that
21:19
Speaker 1: they are so full of themselves?
21:22
Speaker 5: Right? Agreed? Agreed? Because also on the on the on
21:25
Speaker 5: the other side of the coin there, you're you're completely aware.
21:29
Speaker 5: You kind of alluded to it this morning that without
21:31
Speaker 5: that guy on the other side of that camera you got,
21:34
Speaker 5: you don't have a whole lot going on there. So
21:36
Speaker 5: and use the most vast majority of time, it's just Trucker.
21:39
Speaker 1: He's doing it great, you know, but it's fite of
21:43
Speaker 1: the little technical difficulties we're having. I can't see him today.
21:46
Speaker 1: I know he's there and right off, and I'll look
21:47
Speaker 1: out it up and and and in my head Joe
21:52
Speaker 1: is the only person in my audience. So it's sort
21:54
Speaker 1: of refreshing and called to look up and at least
21:56
Speaker 1: see one human being is listening to what I have this.
22:04
Speaker 5: Listening. No, see, that's the question, Brian. Now we'll go
22:06
Speaker 5: back to the def case.
22:08
Speaker 2: There you are.
22:09
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, real quick. Bumper. My son sent me a
22:13
Speaker 5: bumper sticker picture of a bumper sticker yesterday. It said
22:17
Speaker 5: if I die, please don't let me vote Democrat. And
22:20
Speaker 5: I replied, don't vote Democrat, un even after you're dead.
22:24
Speaker 5: So there's the moral of the story for the day.
22:27
Speaker 5: Don't vote Democrat. Have a great day. Talk to you tomorrow.
22:29
Speaker 1: We're gonna make sure that that is on your tombstone.

28:40
Speaker 1: we're out here. Beck over the stack is stupid? What
28:45
Speaker 1: is your child worth? Troy, Michigan. We have Brenda Deutsch,
28:50
Speaker 1: who's seventy years old, pleaded guilty to one kind of
28:52
Speaker 1: first degree in dangering the welfare of child of a
28:55
Speaker 1: child rather court of the document's filed with the Lincoln
28:57
Speaker 1: County Circuit Court, prosecutors agreed to waive a couple of
28:59
Speaker 1: account of abuse or a neglective child in return for
29:01
Speaker 1: her guilty plea on the first degree and dangering the
29:04
Speaker 1: welfare charge. That charge carries a sentence up to seven
29:07
Speaker 1: years in prison and one year in jail, or up
29:10
Speaker 1: to one year in jail. You go ahead and try
29:15
Speaker 1: to make sense out of what that says. Anyway, fine
29:16
Speaker 1: up to ten thousand dollars. Point is. She originally apparently
29:21
Speaker 1: had been charged with some sort of a different claim
29:27
Speaker 1: and then they were stumbled upon. This school resource officer
29:30
Speaker 1: was notified about a child missing school and the school
29:34
Speaker 1: began an investigation like where is this child? They find
29:37
Speaker 1: out that the child was in Texas and the school
29:40
Speaker 1: resource officer was told there was a rumor around that
29:43
Speaker 1: the child was exchanged to an individual in Texas for
29:49
Speaker 1: a monkey.
29:50
Speaker 7: Do what the hell?
29:52
Speaker 1: After getting in touch with Texas law enforcement, the resource
29:55
Speaker 1: officer contacted was able to contact the child, who said
29:57
Speaker 1: she was okay. Police in Texas reached out to Deutsch's friend,
30:00
Speaker 1: who was keeping the child at her residence, to distance
30:04
Speaker 1: the two of them because apparently Deutsch and the child
30:07
Speaker 1: were not getting along. Both Deutsch and her friend owned
30:11
Speaker 1: exotic animals, and another witness was allegedly asked to take
30:15
Speaker 1: care of the child in exchange for a monkey. Child
30:19
Speaker 1: stayed in Texas as The friend said Deutsch did not
30:22
Speaker 1: want the child back now. For her part, Deutsch said
30:25
Speaker 1: she told investigators she had purchased a plane ticket for
30:28
Speaker 1: the child, but her friend did not have a week
30:30
Speaker 1: to get the child at the airport. Child told Texas
30:33
Speaker 1: police of the physical abuse occurred at her home in Missouri,
30:36
Speaker 1: and that the individuals she was staying with left for
30:39
Speaker 1: days at a time to tend the exotic animals. When
30:42
Speaker 1: Deutsch's friend was gone, the child was brought to a
30:45
Speaker 1: second person's home. Deutsch's friend anticipated to be out of
30:49
Speaker 1: town for five days. When she did not return for seven,
30:53
Speaker 1: that second individual turned the child over to child protective
30:55
Speaker 1: Services in Texas. Do what the hell? Woh be careful
31:03
Speaker 1: out there, folks. Fifty nine year old hiker plunged to
31:07
Speaker 1: her death, dropping one hundred feet after slipping off a
31:11
Speaker 1: steep Brazilian trail while applying bugspray. This has happened earlier
31:17
Speaker 1: this week, we had a bungee jumping story, and if
31:19
Speaker 1: you saw the video of that, it's just amazing. They
31:21
Speaker 1: didn't hook any bungee cords up to her. And these
31:23
Speaker 1: these workers at this bungee jump skeleton bridge was where
31:26
Speaker 1: that one took, just hurled her off, picked her up
31:29
Speaker 1: and chuck her off the side with nothing attached, and
31:31
Speaker 1: she plunged to her death, a rather brutal way to die.
31:35
Speaker 1: That was Brazil, too, Yeah, Joe, so you're drawing a
31:40
Speaker 1: conclusion that people should not go to Brazil, Okay, in
31:48
Speaker 1: this particular case Rosemary Stewart Garcia was hiking with a
31:51
Speaker 1: large group at Grutas do Spar in a place called Marcia.
31:57
Speaker 1: Happened Sunday. She went to a short path near an
32:00
Speaker 1: overlook where she lost her balance while lifting her leg
32:03
Speaker 1: to apply the insect repellent. A guy named Giovanni Maximo
32:09
Speaker 1: watched this happen. Told the news outlet that the hiking
32:11
Speaker 1: guide lunged for her arm as she tripped over the cliff,
32:14
Speaker 1: but was nearly dragged over the edge in the process
32:17
Speaker 1: of trying to prevent her from dying. He said, the
32:19
Speaker 1: guy tried to hold her arm and almost fell to
32:22
Speaker 1: height approximate one hundred feet. She was just a finishing
32:25
Speaker 1: applying insect repellent. It was very fast, said Maximo. She said.
32:31
Speaker 1: The Maximo said, well, she was wearing safety gear. She
32:34
Speaker 1: had her gloves, helmet and another protective equipment on when it unfolded.
32:37
Speaker 1: But let's face it, he dropped straight down his sheer
32:41
Speaker 1: cliff one hundred feet. I doubt the helmet and gloves
32:44
Speaker 1: are going to do anything in this particular case. Yes,
32:46
Speaker 1: that is what happened. Garcia's lifeless body was recovered at
32:50
Speaker 1: the gruesome scene also helps it, like if you get
32:57
Speaker 1: to do the bungee jumping thing, at least in a
32:59
Speaker 1: foreign country. I suppose, with modern tort law here in
33:02
Speaker 1: the United States of America, owners of businesses that will
33:04
Speaker 1: allow you to bungee jump in return for payment probably
33:08
Speaker 1: minding their p's and queues in terms of liability. And
33:12
Speaker 1: I'm sure you probably signed a waiver of liability before
33:14
Speaker 1: you jumped off the side of a cliff. You want
33:16
Speaker 1: to do that, knock yourself out, but at least have
33:17
Speaker 1: someone next to you to say, are the bungees attached?
33:25
Speaker 1: And when standing perilously close to the edge of a
33:27
Speaker 1: sheer cliff, probably not the best place to stand on
33:31
Speaker 1: one foot and apply sunscreen or bugs bray, as the
33:36
Speaker 1: case may be. Hey, let's finish. In Florida, six men
33:39
Speaker 1: arrested in federal charges after an alleged double kidnapping and
33:43
Speaker 1: torture which involved a blowtarch court a federal priminal complaints yeah.
33:48
Speaker 1: One of the suspects, identified his nineteen year old soul
33:50
Speaker 1: Alfonso Fajardo, asked the two victims if they wanted to
33:55
Speaker 1: smoke weed in this guy's car in the parking lot.
33:57
Speaker 1: They all said sure they got in the car. Witness
33:59
Speaker 1: called at least to report multiple people had taken the
34:01
Speaker 1: two victims by gunpoint and put them into two separate vehicles.
34:05
Speaker 1: One victim reported police that during the kidnapping, alleged one
34:09
Speaker 1: of the suspects, identified as twenty year old Justin, I'll
34:13
Speaker 1: struggle with this one Phi Hwang phil llhang here, you
34:18
Speaker 1: struggle with it. P h I h O A n
34:20
Speaker 1: g Lee Yeah, Irish GUYE Joe, I got that part anyway.
34:29
Speaker 1: He shoved the cloth item into this guy's mouth and
34:30
Speaker 1: began burning his racing flag tattoo that was on his
34:34
Speaker 1: arm with a blow of torchi. Hag Lee eventually said,
34:38
Speaker 1: allegedly stated, I'm going to burn the tattoo off you.
34:40
Speaker 1: You don't deserve to have it. I'm going to torture you.
34:44
Speaker 1: Then he allegedly made both of the victims stripped down
34:46
Speaker 1: to their underwear, and that's when he noticed that one.
34:48
Speaker 1: This is hilarious. One of the victims had an ankle
34:52
Speaker 1: monitor on, so he let him get get out. He
34:55
Speaker 1: let him go out of fear of being tracked. H
34:58
Speaker 1: he thinks they're being tracked. Joe. Huh. The victim without
35:04
Speaker 1: the ankle monitor continue to be held a gunpoint against
35:07
Speaker 1: his will. Authority said he began faking a seizure out
35:09
Speaker 1: of fear for his life. The suspects loaded him into
35:11
Speaker 1: a car, drove around for ten minutes, and then began
35:13
Speaker 1: to panic and stop the vehicle. Let him out of
35:15
Speaker 1: the car on the side of the road. That guy
35:17
Speaker 1: played dead for a little bit and then began walking
35:19
Speaker 1: arounduntil he located a neighbor and asked someone to call
35:22
Speaker 1: the police. Here's the Irish mob there, Joe that's been arrested,
35:27
Speaker 1: Salol Fonzo Farjardo nineteen, Anthony Treul Hernandez eighteen, Wilin Hernandez twenty,
35:34
Speaker 1: Amari Tamiri Hill twenty one, josephhang Lee twenty and markuiv's
35:41
Speaker 1: McNichols junior.
35:43
Speaker 4: There.
35:43
Speaker 1: He is FBI leading the investigation five fifty six fifty
35:46
Speaker 1: five cares what's in the memorandum of understanding. Oh, it's concrete,
35:52
Speaker 1: it's definitive. It leaves no wiggle room. I'm gonna go
35:55
Speaker 1: with not. We'll talk about that coming up. Phone calls
35:57
Speaker 1: are always welcome back after the news we put.
36:00
Speaker 3: The app in happening, But that's what's.
36:03
Speaker 1: Him It is six or six at fifty five KARCD
36:06
Speaker 1: Talks Station by Thomas wishing you ever want a very
36:08
Speaker 1: happy Thursday's last Friday Eve, inviting him to stick around.
36:12
Speaker 1: Congressman Warren Davidson is going to join the program. Coming
36:14
Speaker 1: up in one hour is the war over. We've got
36:16
Speaker 1: a memory of understanding signed early. I guess they wanted
36:18
Speaker 1: to hurry up and get it out there. Well, they
36:20
Speaker 1: didn't want to hurry up and get it out there.
36:21
Speaker 1: They could have done that earlier in the week when
36:23
Speaker 1: we kept hearing about the MOA and what it actually said,
36:26
Speaker 1: and then finally get the text of it, and now
36:27
Speaker 1: can see what it says. And I'm not thoroughly convinced
36:31
Speaker 1: that thing's going to work out to our advantage at all. Anyway.
36:33
Speaker 1: Congressman Davidson certainly chiming in on that topic. Coming up
36:35
Speaker 1: in an hour, Donovan Neil Americans for Prosperity two hundred
36:38
Speaker 1: and fifty is celebration taking place in Columbus, Ohio. On
36:41
Speaker 1: pray to God that that goes off without a hitch
36:43
Speaker 1: and we actually celebrate the wonderful country that is America
36:46
Speaker 1: in spite of the warts we all know We've got
36:48
Speaker 1: warts find me a country that's improved itself as much
36:53
Speaker 1: as we have considered where we started. And I don't
36:55
Speaker 1: think you're gonna find one anyway, Jay Rattlift eight thirty.
36:57
Speaker 1: It is Thursday. I heard mediavah nextwork Jay Ratlet every Thursday.
37:00
Speaker 1: Every Thursday, got some great topics with Jay. So I
37:03
Speaker 1: always enjoy hearing from you. Two five, one, three, seven,
37:05
Speaker 1: four nine fifty five eight hundred eight two three talk
37:07
Speaker 1: found five fifty on AT and T phones. Let's dive
37:09
Speaker 1: into the conditions, the terms conditions of the memorab understanding.
37:12
Speaker 1: Let's start off at number one, US and the Islamic
37:15
Speaker 1: Republic of Iran. Here's a question right out of the gate,
37:18
Speaker 1: and their allies. That would be US's and Islamic Republic
37:23
Speaker 1: of Iran allies. I will point out quickly here up front,
37:27
Speaker 1: the United States and Iran are the only signatories to
37:30
Speaker 1: the agreement. Is Iran or is Iran making promises on
37:35
Speaker 1: behalf of Hezbala and Hamas and any of the other
37:38
Speaker 1: terrorist organizations that it's cozy with. I go ahead and
37:42
Speaker 1: swirl around that they're also allies with the Chinese and
37:45
Speaker 1: the Indians. We found out so there's I don't know
37:48
Speaker 1: that we have any control over what the Israelis do anyway,
37:50
Speaker 1: starting out at the gate with swirling question mark. So
37:53
Speaker 1: the signatories, the US and Iran have agreed to this
37:56
Speaker 1: to in the current world. They're signing the memory of
37:59
Speaker 1: understanding to decline are the immediate and permanent termination of
38:03
Speaker 1: military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon, and undertake from
38:10
Speaker 1: now on not to initiate any war or any military
38:13
Speaker 1: operation against each other, and to refrain from the threat
38:16
Speaker 1: or use of force against each other. Pause because Donald
38:19
Speaker 1: Trump Trump has already threatened to drop bombs on them
38:21
Speaker 1: if they don't follow through with disagreement. I don't know
38:24
Speaker 1: if that's a violation of the terms and conditions right
38:26
Speaker 1: out of the gate or not. But anyway, let us
38:30
Speaker 1: continue with paragraph one and ensuring the territorial integrity and
38:33
Speaker 1: sovereignty of Lebanon. The final deal will confirm the permanent
38:38
Speaker 1: termination of the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, and
38:42
Speaker 1: other provisions of this paragraph. Notice how Lebanon is prominently
38:46
Speaker 1: included in this US and Iran undertake. This is number
38:50
Speaker 1: two undertake to respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity
38:54
Speaker 1: and refrain from interfering in each other's internal affairs. Well,
38:58
Speaker 1: first off, my first reaction is that tell the sea that.
39:00
Speaker 1: But moving away from that, that means if the Iranians
39:03
Speaker 1: start killing in mass numbers their own people, as they
39:06
Speaker 1: already have done in the past recently thirty thousand or more,
39:11
Speaker 1: are we just going to let that go? Number Three,
39:15
Speaker 1: the United States of America and Iran commit to negotiating
39:20
Speaker 1: and achieving the final deal in a maximum of sixty days,
39:25
Speaker 1: extendable with mutual consent. All right, So we've agreed to
39:31
Speaker 1: negotiate Number four. Immediately upon the signing of a MoU
39:35
Speaker 1: and it has been signed, US will begin removal of
39:39
Speaker 1: its naval blockade and any disturbances or impediments against the
39:42
Speaker 1: Islamic Republic of Iran and will fully end the naval
39:46
Speaker 1: blockades within thirty days. So that is a one side
39:49
Speaker 1: obviously favoring the Iranians one side statement orb sentence during
39:54
Speaker 1: this period. So after we get rid of our naval
39:57
Speaker 1: blockade of their ports during this period, trap vessels will
40:00
Speaker 1: be in proportion of the numbers of pre war traffic
40:02
Speaker 1: being restored by the Islamic Republic of Iran. The US
40:07
Speaker 1: further undertakes to remove its forces from the proximity of
40:12
Speaker 1: Iran within thirty days after the final deal pause. Lets
40:15
Speaker 1: think about that. Can anyone tell me what proximity means?
40:18
Speaker 1: In that? I mean, if you've got missiles that can
40:21
Speaker 1: fly all the way around the world and blow stuff up,
40:23
Speaker 1: and you are basically proximate to your neighbor, at least
40:26
Speaker 1: in terms of using military force. We have military bases
40:30
Speaker 1: all over the region and a variety of Arab countries.
40:34
Speaker 1: Is that proximate to Iran terms to be negotiated? I
40:39
Speaker 1: guess number five. Upon signing of this MLA, Iran will
40:43
Speaker 1: make arrangements for using its best efforts for the safe
40:46
Speaker 1: passage of commercially vessels with no charge. And you think,
40:52
Speaker 1: oh good, no fees, no tolls, Comma for sixty days
40:57
Speaker 1: only from the golf for the Sea of Oman and
41:01
Speaker 1: vice versa. So sixty day period where nothing's going to
41:04
Speaker 1: be charged for their boat going through very finitem out there.
41:07
Speaker 1: Traffic of commercial vehicles will immediately start and consider the
41:10
Speaker 1: need for removing technical military obstacles. Demining by Iran will
41:16
Speaker 1: be instated within thirty days Islamic Republic, but Iron will
41:20
Speaker 1: conduct dialogue with the Sultanate of Oman to define the
41:24
Speaker 1: future administration and maritime services in the Strait of Horror
41:28
Speaker 1: Moves in discussion with other Persian golf literal states in
41:33
Speaker 1: line with the applicable international law and sovereign rights or
41:36
Speaker 1: coastal states of the Strait of Horror moves. You know
41:38
Speaker 1: what that says to me, Yeah, we're going to start
41:40
Speaker 1: talking about fees after this sixty day windows open. And
41:45
Speaker 1: I remember they've they've done the Orwellian semantical games. So
41:47
Speaker 1: it's no longer tolls because tolls are apparently prohibited by
41:50
Speaker 1: international law, and this paragraph does say in line with
41:54
Speaker 1: the applicable international law. But if they can make an
41:57
Speaker 1: argument that they are providing a service getting the fear
42:00
Speaker 1: getting the boats to the strait, like if they use
42:02
Speaker 1: their barges or their tugs, or their navigational equipment or
42:05
Speaker 1: anything else you can come up with which someone might
42:07
Speaker 1: need to navigate the strait, then they're going to get
42:09
Speaker 1: paid for it. That seems inevitable, and that's a reality
42:12
Speaker 1: that did not exist before this war began. Number six
42:16
Speaker 1: US undertakes with regional partners to develop a definitive, mutually
42:21
Speaker 1: agreed upon plan with at least here you go, folks,
42:25
Speaker 1: three hundreds of billion US dollars for the reconstruction and
42:30
Speaker 1: economic development of the of Iran. Basically, now, that doesn't
42:35
Speaker 1: say US dollars coming from the United States. It's apparently
42:40
Speaker 1: a discussion that will result in the money coming from well,
42:43
Speaker 1: the negotiations with regional department partners. But Iran will be
42:48
Speaker 1: getting the three hundred billion dollars. Now, there's no common
42:51
Speaker 1: paragraph in there that says Iran, through its sales of oil,
42:54
Speaker 1: which will be opened back up under this agreement, has
42:56
Speaker 1: to pay back for all the damage it did to
42:58
Speaker 1: our bases and all the other harmons caused the various
43:01
Speaker 1: Arab countries throughout this conflict, because they did do billions
43:04
Speaker 1: of dollars in damage themselves. And yet this is in
43:06
Speaker 1: a two way street. From everything I've read so far,
43:11
Speaker 1: the mechanism for this three hundred billion dollars will be
43:15
Speaker 1: finalized as part of a final deal within sixty days period.
43:19
Speaker 1: All required licenses, waivers and permission needed for the relevant
43:21
Speaker 1: financial transaction will be granted by the US. So we
43:24
Speaker 1: are not going to be impediment by words, by way
43:26
Speaker 1: of sanctions or any other roadblocks we can put in
43:29
Speaker 1: to this three hundred billion dollar fund being established. Seven
43:35
Speaker 1: US undertakes to terminate all types of sanctions against Iran,
43:39
Speaker 1: including un Security Council Resolutions IAEA, Board of Governor's resolutions,
43:43
Speaker 1: and all unilateral US sanctions primary and secondary, in a
43:47
Speaker 1: agreed upon schedule as set part in the final deal.
43:50
Speaker 1: So we'll have to agree upon how this is going
43:52
Speaker 1: to be unwound. But we are supposed to well relieve
43:55
Speaker 1: Iran of sanctions opening up their economy again. That seems
43:59
Speaker 1: to be a one way pervision as well. Now for
44:01
Speaker 1: its part, Iran and the United States acknowledge the critical
44:04
Speaker 1: importance of the sanctions termination issue above mentioned and express
44:08
Speaker 1: their intentions to immediately address these issues in the negotiation
44:11
Speaker 1: to achieve mutual agreement. That's just basically saying we're really
44:15
Speaker 1: serious about this sanctioned thing. Work to re leave the sanctions,
44:20
Speaker 1: and then, damn it, we're really serious about it. We
44:23
Speaker 1: have agreed that we're serious saying nothing. Number eight, Iran
44:29
Speaker 1: reaffirms it shall not procure or develop nuclear weapons period.
44:35
Speaker 1: That's not the end of the paragraph. US and the
44:39
Speaker 1: Islamic Republic of Iran have agreed to resolve the agreed
44:42
Speaker 1: to resolve the disposition of STOCKPOWD enrichment material pursuing to
44:46
Speaker 1: a mechanism that will be mutually agreed upon in accordance
44:49
Speaker 1: with these schedule mentioned in in paragraph seven. In other words,
44:53
Speaker 1: we're going to We've agreed to sit down and negotiate.
44:56
Speaker 1: No specific terms are incorporated into that, just that we're
44:59
Speaker 1: going to discuss it. It says the two parties will
45:03
Speaker 1: also agree to discuss the issue of enrichment and other
45:08
Speaker 1: mutually agreed matters related to Iran's nuclear needs, based upon
45:13
Speaker 1: a satisfactory framework being agreed upon in the final deal. Again,
45:18
Speaker 1: all of this is contingent upon things that need Tobe
45:21
Speaker 1: to agree upon to the point where they can actually
45:22
Speaker 1: sign a final deal that has sufficient details to deal
45:25
Speaker 1: with all these swirling question marks. We have final deal
45:28
Speaker 1: will confirm the provisions of this paragraph. Well, of course
45:30
Speaker 1: it will. That's in the That's the point of a
45:32
Speaker 1: final agreement, isn't it. Us and Iran acknowledged the critical
45:36
Speaker 1: importance of the nuclear issue above mentioned. See here's another
45:38
Speaker 1: recitation of you we're serious about this nine Pending the
45:44
Speaker 1: final deal US and Iran agree to maintain this status quo.
45:50
Speaker 1: Iran will maintain the current status quo of its nuclear program.
45:55
Speaker 1: And considering there's no restrictions on their nuclear program and
45:58
Speaker 1: it took a bunch of bombs being d by the
46:00
Speaker 1: United States and Israel to prevent it from moving forward,
46:02
Speaker 1: I guess they're free to do whatever the hell they
46:04
Speaker 1: want with their nuclear program until they get a signed
46:07
Speaker 1: deal at the end of this. If we do, the
46:10
Speaker 1: sentence continues, and the US will not impose any new
46:14
Speaker 1: sanctions and will not deploy additional forces in the region.
46:19
Speaker 1: So Iran, go ahead and do what you're doing currently,
46:21
Speaker 1: and we won't do anything at all. US undertakes Number
46:25
Speaker 1: ten undertakes immediately upon as signing to this MOA and
46:29
Speaker 1: until the termination of sanctions, the US Department of Treasury
46:34
Speaker 1: will issue waivers of the export of Iranian crude oil,
46:38
Speaker 1: petroleum products and derivatives, and all associated services, including banking, transactions, insurances,
46:43
Speaker 1: and transportation, et cetera. Again, we're freeing them up to
46:46
Speaker 1: do everything, and that's immediately, and that's upon the signing
46:51
Speaker 1: of the Memorandum of Understanding, not the final deal. US
46:58
Speaker 1: undertakes to make fully availed eleven fully available the use
47:01
Speaker 1: of frozen or restricted funds and assets of Iran upon
47:06
Speaker 1: the implementation of this MoU huh freeing up that money.
47:16
Speaker 1: I guess it won't come in the form of palettes
47:18
Speaker 1: of cash in this particular case. I don't know. The
47:21
Speaker 1: optics on that were pretty bad and served as criticism
47:24
Speaker 1: against the Obama administration, if you recall, US and Iran
47:28
Speaker 1: will mutually agree upon the procedures related to release of
47:31
Speaker 1: these funds during negotiations, So maybe I'll be wrong on that.
47:34
Speaker 1: Maybe it will be a pallet of cash. Such funds,
47:37
Speaker 1: whether retain any original counter transferred, shall be made fully
47:42
Speaker 1: usable for payment to any ultimate beneficiary designated by the
47:49
Speaker 1: Central Bank of the Islamic or public of Iran. In
47:51
Speaker 1: other words, wtf you mean they can use this money
47:54
Speaker 1: to fund terrorist organizations, proxy organizations, buy weapons, missiles, drones,
47:58
Speaker 1: et cetera. Apparently, because that says they can use the
48:01
Speaker 1: money for anything. The damn well please Number twelve. US
48:06
Speaker 1: and Iran agree that an executive mechanism will be established
48:12
Speaker 1: to monitor the successful implementation of this memorandum understation under
48:16
Speaker 1: a Memorandum and the future compliance of the final deal,
48:21
Speaker 1: So something else. We're going to sit down at Harumph
48:23
Speaker 1: over down the road at some point thirteen after signing
48:26
Speaker 1: the MoU subject to the beginning of implementation of all
48:29
Speaker 1: these paragraphs that are specifically a reference there, and the
48:33
Speaker 1: continuing implementation of these measures, the US and Iran will
48:37
Speaker 1: start negotiations regarding the final deal exclusively on the other paragraphs. Finally,
48:47
Speaker 1: the final deal will be endorsed by a binding UNSC resolution. Eh,
48:53
Speaker 1: what's your reaction. I got certain concerns, more than I
48:58
Speaker 1: articulated my going through those paragraphs right now, six nineteen
49:00
Speaker 1: fifty dog stations, whirling question marks surrounding the nebulous reality
49:04
Speaker 1: of the agreement we just centered into. The parameters have
49:07
Speaker 1: been defined as a certain extent. The question is the
49:10
Speaker 1: devil is always in the details. In there a hell
49:12
Speaker 1: of a lot of details to iron out in this agreement.
49:13
Speaker 1: Let us see what Cleveland OL has to say. Cleveland now,
49:17
Speaker 1: welcome back, man. It's good to hear from you.
49:20
Speaker 7: Thank you very much, Brian. I just wanted to let
49:22
Speaker 7: you know that Northeastern Ohio has covered You've got at
49:26
Speaker 7: least one individual listening, at least up until the point
49:31
Speaker 7: that you started spewing that legal gobbledy gook. I had
49:36
Speaker 7: to turn it on mute until you were finished legal gobbledegook.
49:41
Speaker 1: You mean the agreement we just centered into.
49:44
Speaker 7: Whatever it happens to be.
49:46
Speaker 1: Yes, okay. You know, the lawyers that I used to
49:50
Speaker 1: practice law with, I don't think would have let their
49:52
Speaker 1: clients sign on to something like that, as considering how
49:55
Speaker 1: nebulous it is in terms of framework, and how it
49:59
Speaker 1: does seem to benefit with the Iranians substantially more than
50:01
Speaker 1: it benefits the United States, and certainly with Israel not
50:04
Speaker 1: being a signatory on it. I don't know how Elebanon
50:07
Speaker 1: got in there as a definitive part of the negotiations,
50:10
Speaker 1: but I don't know if it has any impact on Israel,
50:12
Speaker 1: but I would suggest it doesn't anyway, Go ahead, brother,
50:17
Speaker 1: all right, Well, have.
50:18

51:38
Speaker 1: got staring them down the staring down the road there
51:40

Speaker 4: Well, my friend, it's going to be an awful pretty weekend.
52:12
Speaker 4: The rain's out of the way, and we put it
52:14
Speaker 4: at five and a half and one street takeover.
52:17
Speaker 1: Five point five shootings and one street takeover. All right, Yes, sir,
52:24
Speaker 1: market dude, get in touch with your local betting markets
52:27
Speaker 1: and see if Bobby's over and under is something you
52:29
Speaker 1: can bet on, since you can pretty much bet on
52:31
Speaker 1: literally anything you can think of over at these betty markets. Bobby.
52:37
Speaker 4: Hey, also one other thing is it's beautiful. It's going
52:41
Speaker 4: to be a beautiful Father's Day. Happy Father's Day to
52:44
Speaker 4: all the men out there, and if they want to,
52:45
Speaker 4: they can go shoot up there at a beautiful, nice
52:48
Speaker 4: clean place and enjoy the day.
52:50
Speaker 1: Well, thanks, thanks for sporting my sponsors twenty two to three.
52:54
Speaker 1: The dad can shoot with a son or daughter for
52:57
Speaker 1: free on Father's Day. And what a wonderful thing it is.
53:00
Speaker 1: So when dad says I don't want anything, and there
53:02
Speaker 1: was a funny Wall Street journical article about that, because
53:04
Speaker 1: most all dads, including me, when you're asking you want
53:06
Speaker 1: some for Father's Day, it's like, no, it's the man
53:09
Speaker 1: thing to do. Real men don't ask for stuff in
53:11
Speaker 1: return for their fulfilling their obligations as fathers and husbands,
53:15
Speaker 1: of course, But you know what, according to honest people
53:19
Speaker 1: when pressed on that topic, dads really would like to
53:22
Speaker 1: do something some of the things we're mentioned, going fishing
53:25
Speaker 1: with the family, or doing some other family activity, maybe
53:29
Speaker 1: the kids making some sort of perhaps poorly prepared breakfast.
53:32
Speaker 1: But what a wonderful, wonderful, beautiful thing it is when
53:35
Speaker 1: dad gets something like that, totally unexpected. That kind of
53:39
Speaker 1: thing comes from the heart. So a little time with Dad,
53:43
Speaker 1: I guess is, at least according to the statistics in
53:45
Speaker 1: this one little article, is really kind of what we're
53:48
Speaker 1: looking for. I get reward along those lines every single day,
53:52
Speaker 1: So I truly am not looking for anything, Paulette, if
53:54
Speaker 1: you're hearing me, because I know the kids aren't listening
53:57
Speaker 1: right now, poor folks in Andersontown. It is crept out
54:01
Speaker 1: into the uh well well seemingly nicer neighborhoods in Hamilton County.
54:07
Speaker 1: Masked individuals targeted er Anderson Township and a string of
54:11
Speaker 1: car break ins and thefts. One woman interviewed by Brooklyn
54:14
Speaker 1: Adams over Andrea's over at Fox nineteen since she noticed
54:17
Speaker 1: her husband's vehicle had been stolen from their driveway the
54:20
Speaker 1: morning at June third, and dozens of comments on a
54:23
Speaker 1: post she made on a local Facebook page alerted her
54:25
Speaker 1: that hey, you're not the only victim. It's happening all
54:28
Speaker 1: over and she said in a quote, I found the
54:32
Speaker 1: entire neighborhood been raided and multiple cars were broken into.
54:35
Speaker 1: From ring camera footage. Other video shows the masked individuals
54:39
Speaker 1: going driveway to driveway in Summit Estates looking for what
54:42
Speaker 1: they say are unlocked cars, and she admitted hers was
54:45
Speaker 1: one of them. My car was unlocked at night and
54:47
Speaker 1: I actually did leave my key fob in, which is
54:50
Speaker 1: extremely rare for me to do, she said, but she
54:52
Speaker 1: admitted it was her mistake. Yeah, I have to say
54:55
Speaker 1: vehicle gote a matter of seconds her car as an
54:58
Speaker 1: internal tracker, which the police are saying is great if
55:01
Speaker 1: you have one of those, because they can easily find
55:03
Speaker 1: your car. That car was found in an abandoned in
55:06
Speaker 1: a parking lot in Winton Terrace. She had to pay
55:09
Speaker 1: nine hundred dollars to get it back. Please recommending locking cars,
55:14
Speaker 1: removing keys, and adding lighting and video security to driveways
55:17
Speaker 1: as deterns. Vehicles are more likely to be recovered if
55:20
Speaker 1: they have that tracking device inside, per the police. And
55:25
Speaker 1: probably a bad idea if you are a member of
55:27
Speaker 1: law enforcement to leave your firearms in the car. Quite
55:30
Speaker 1: often criminals know that. Sometimes people leave them in there
55:33
Speaker 1: and will break into your car to steal your firearm. Joe,
55:36
Speaker 1: have you heard that happen before with members of law
55:38
Speaker 1: enforcement here in our community? Once or twice? I believe
55:43
Speaker 1: it was twice. Charmaine six thirty five. Right now, Jay's
55:48
Speaker 1: on the phone, Jay, looking forward to talking to you, brother.
55:50
Speaker 1: Hold on one moment on a.
55:51
Speaker 2: Minute talkstation.
55:54
Speaker 1: Six fifty five ker CD talk stations. Stick aroundcause after
55:57
Speaker 1: the top of the arron is we'll hear from Congressman
55:59
Speaker 1: Warren Davidson on his perception of after reading the memory
56:03
Speaker 1: of understanding anyway, is the war over? Yes, we're going
56:06
Speaker 1: to find out over time, Donald and Neil America's two
56:08
Speaker 1: fifty celebration in Columbus. That'll be at seven thirty the meantime,
56:11
Speaker 1: Over to the phone, Let's see what Jay Scott, Jay,
56:12
Speaker 1: thanks for holding over the break there. Welcome back to
56:14
Speaker 1: the Morning show.
56:15
Speaker 8: Hey, good morning, Brian. Glad to hear you're back today. Man,
56:17
Speaker 8: I've been praying for you and your family, hoping everything's
56:20
Speaker 8: going okay.
56:20
Speaker 1: Everything's great. The only reason I took yesterday off is
56:22
Speaker 1: because my wife and I were at a concert on
56:24
Speaker 1: Tuesday night and did get home till like eleven thirty.
56:27
Speaker 1: So you know, I can't I can't operate it three
56:30
Speaker 1: hours of sleep, man, it's just no way.
56:33
Speaker 8: Well, that's a great reason. I'm glad to hear that's
56:35
Speaker 8: the reason. Yep, that was it? Well?
56:38
Speaker 4: Good.
56:39
Speaker 8: Hey, you know one of my favorite topics is fraud
56:43
Speaker 8: and medicaid fraud and all the rest of it. And
56:46
Speaker 8: the reason that is is that that's I think the
56:49
Speaker 8: spending of this government is our biggest national security threat
56:53
Speaker 8: is that it on both sides of the aisle, and
56:57
Speaker 8: nobody seems to be concerned about it. So about I
57:01
Speaker 8: don't know, six weeks ago, two months ago, jd Vance
57:04
Speaker 8: was named FRAUDSAR and we started getting some headlines. It
57:08
Speaker 8: seems like those headlines have run cold. I did a
57:11
Speaker 8: search last night, and first of all, the figures go
57:16
Speaker 8: from like six hundred billion to six point eight billion,
57:19
Speaker 8: and I'm looking for how much money has actually been
57:21
Speaker 8: recovered and who's gone to jail. You know, let's stop
57:25
Speaker 8: talking about what we've identified. And sternly worded letters went
57:29
Speaker 8: out and they've got thirty days to respond. So let's
57:32
Speaker 8: take the six point eight billion. It seems like a
57:34
Speaker 8: lot of money. When you run the math on seven
57:37
Speaker 8: trillion dollar annual federal spend, that's about eight hours worth
57:41
Speaker 8: of federal government.
57:44
Speaker 1: And yeah, when you put it that way, it really does.
57:46
Speaker 1: It's an eye opener when you think about that.
57:48
Speaker 8: Well, it is it is. And then I see he
57:52
Speaker 8: was on the view, but somehow found time to go
57:55
Speaker 8: on to view. I mean, he could have gone on
57:56
Speaker 8: to Brian Thomas show, he could have gone on number
58:00
Speaker 8: of right wing conservative supporter shows to sell a book.
58:05
Speaker 1: He's got, Well, I just got to put you know,
58:07
Speaker 1: if he gets access and his foot in the door
58:09
Speaker 1: to a left wing audience, those are the ones that
58:11
Speaker 1: need to be convinced of reality. I mean, you don't
58:13
Speaker 1: have to worry about convincing your own people of the
58:16
Speaker 1: that your ideas are correct.
58:17
Speaker 8: So how has that gone over our lifetime? When we've
58:21
Speaker 8: seen conservatives go on these liberal shows? It never works well, so.
58:28
Speaker 1: Is the mainstream media reporting on whether it worked or not.
58:31
Speaker 1: They can pull an opinion out of their sphincter like
58:34
Speaker 1: anybody else can. It's a question of what you're going
58:35
Speaker 1: to believe? Did it really mean?
58:37
Speaker 8: I'm not relying Yeah, I'm not relying on them. And
58:40
Speaker 8: the book was about faith the book, which is fine.
58:43
Speaker 8: But my question is when you're pulling down two hundred
58:46
Speaker 8: and fifty thousand dollars a year's VP, and let's just
58:49
Speaker 8: double that with all the gold plated benefits, So he
58:52
Speaker 8: doing that on vacation time or are we paying for
58:54
Speaker 8: him to go and prepare and then go on to view.
58:57
Speaker 8: And I would think that if somebody was frauds are
59:00
Speaker 8: if I was frauds are Brian, and somebody turned me
59:03
Speaker 8: loose to go after this, It'd be eighteen hours a
59:06
Speaker 8: day and I would gleefully with Pep and my step
59:09
Speaker 8: be jumping out of bed getting to work. And I
59:12
Speaker 8: know he's not doing it by himself, right, but if
59:15
Speaker 8: he's the leader in charge of this, lead from the front,
59:18
Speaker 8: and by God, keep your eyes focused on what your
59:21
Speaker 8: job is. There's no time right now. The country's on fire,
59:25
Speaker 8: we're at war, we've got election fraud. You want to
59:28
Speaker 8: spend some time, go sit down with John Thune on
59:30
Speaker 8: the Save Act, get busy on fraud.
59:33
Speaker 1: There's no time for him to go into view well,
59:35
Speaker 1: and that's fine. And everybody has the strategy of what's
59:37
Speaker 1: most important, what's most valuable in terms of making inroads
59:40
Speaker 1: or accomplishing whatever goal. And again, sphincters are just their
59:43
Speaker 1: opinions are like sphincter's. Maybe somebody's opinion was that he
59:46
Speaker 1: should do this. Maybe there was argument behind the scenes,
59:48
Speaker 1: No JD, don't do this, but it was done. But
59:50
Speaker 1: I will go back to your original point on fraud.
59:52
Speaker 1: You know, I would not expect something immediate to happen. Ever,
59:56
Speaker 1: you've got to remember we're dealing with the criminal justice system,
59:59
Speaker 1: and behind the criminal justice system with a prosecution is
1:00:02
Speaker 1: like hundreds and thousands of hours of research and acquisition
1:00:06
Speaker 1: of documents and data. This fraud demonstrated by Minnesota alone,
1:00:11
Speaker 1: among with all the other places including Ohio, has been
1:00:14
Speaker 1: going on for years and years, and no one has
1:00:17
Speaker 1: lifted a finger to do a damn thing about it.
1:00:19
Speaker 1: You want to unravel that factual, the fact timeline, and
1:00:24
Speaker 1: the information that actually proves fraud, waste, and or abuse.
1:00:27
Speaker 1: That is hard work. It's hard work for even a
1:00:32
Speaker 1: small litigation. And I've been in comparatively small litigations in
1:00:35
Speaker 1: my life involving merely millions of dollars, and those cases
1:00:38
Speaker 1: can go on for years before they finally see the
1:00:40
Speaker 1: light of a trial. This stuff involves billions of dollars
1:00:44
Speaker 1: and hundreds of actors and multiple facilities. And I have
1:00:50
Speaker 1: sympathy for the prosecutors who have to gather the evidence
1:00:53
Speaker 1: and prove beyond a reasonable doubt, and in a fraud
1:00:57
Speaker 1: case that's even more difficult. They got a tough job
1:01:00
Speaker 1: ahead of them, and you're not going to get immediate results.
1:01:03
Speaker 1: I know we both want them. I want people hung
1:01:06
Speaker 1: from the highest yard arm for doing this kind of thing.
1:01:08
Speaker 1: They've stolen from you and me. Every American taxpayer who
1:01:13
Speaker 1: pays into the system, regardless of political stripe, has been
1:01:15
Speaker 1: has suffered mightily because of this, and the more they
1:01:18
Speaker 1: look into it, the more areas of government fraud, waste,
1:01:21
Speaker 1: and abuse we find. Going back to my point earlier,
1:01:23
Speaker 1: how in the hell you're going to track where the
1:01:24
Speaker 1: Iranians spend three hundred billion dollars when you can't even
1:01:28
Speaker 1: figure out where your own Medicare, Medicaid, a PPP loan,
1:01:31
Speaker 1: or any other program's dollars went in your own country.
1:01:35
Speaker 1: It's a sorry state of affairs, but it's going to
1:01:37
Speaker 1: take some measure of patients, and maybe Jay should sign
1:01:41
Speaker 1: up to be the person who deals with the prioritization
1:01:43
Speaker 1: of where people need to be at any given time.
1:01:45
Speaker 1: I think you're right, though, If I was Jadvans, I
1:01:47
Speaker 1: would take every opportunity after this momentary and more important story,
1:01:51
Speaker 1: the memorandum of understanding comes out than dealing every opportunity
1:01:56
Speaker 1: you have or using every opportutunity you have when you're
1:01:58
Speaker 1: talking to the American people, or even slice of them,
1:02:01
Speaker 1: to remind people of this fraud and waste and abuse
1:02:05
Speaker 1: of what we have found out so far, and the
1:02:08
Speaker 1: fact that we've only seen the tip of the iceberg.
1:02:12
Speaker 1: Sixty six fifty abou KRC the talk station. Get in
1:02:15
Speaker 1: touch with Gregory Forrest Luster. He is the talk station.
1:02:20
Speaker 1: Sixty fifty five KRCD talk Station Congress Warren David's and
1:02:22
Speaker 1: up at top of the ironatas I went through the
1:02:24
Speaker 1: turns conditions of the memorandum of understanding which has been signed,
1:02:27
Speaker 1: and seeing as me, there is a hell of a
1:02:29
Speaker 1: lot of very nebulous wording in there, and a lot
1:02:32
Speaker 1: of work to be done in sixty days, to be
1:02:34
Speaker 1: extended upon mutual agreement to get all the devil of
1:02:38
Speaker 1: details hammered out. I am suspicious and do believe it
1:02:43
Speaker 1: rings very one sided anyway. The Wall Street Journal, I'm
1:02:46
Speaker 1: just gonna fast forward a little bit in there. Is
1:02:48
Speaker 1: Iran really a normal quote unquote normal country? They start
1:02:52
Speaker 1: with Kissingers talking about Iran is a decision to make
1:02:55
Speaker 1: whether it wants to be a nation or a cause
1:02:57
Speaker 1: That was forty seven years ago when they took over
1:02:59
Speaker 1: the fundamental lit jd Vance yesterday. What the agreement does
1:03:02
Speaker 1: is fundamentally set up in structure whereby if the Iranians
1:03:06
Speaker 1: behave like a normal country, then we want to treat
1:03:10
Speaker 1: like a normal country and welcome them to the world economy.
1:03:13
Speaker 1: As the journal points out, Iran has never shown over
1:03:16
Speaker 1: its forty seven years that it wants to be a
1:03:18
Speaker 1: normal country or joined the international community. Vance said on
1:03:22
Speaker 1: Fox what the President is trying to do is actually
1:03:24
Speaker 1: extend the hand of peace, which they observe. I think
1:03:27
Speaker 1: accurately sounds a little bit like Obama back in two
1:03:29
Speaker 1: thousand and nine and said, we want to extend the
1:03:31
Speaker 1: hand if you're willing to unclench your fist. But we got,
1:03:34
Speaker 1: of course the clenched fist. Ever you use that US
1:03:36
Speaker 1: president since seventy nine has had the same wish, figuring
1:03:39
Speaker 1: out that well, the Iranians don't want to play nice.
1:03:41
Speaker 1: After the fall of shaw Shall Bahron, Jimmy Carner wanted
1:03:44
Speaker 1: to open diplomatic channels with the Iatola Komanes regime, embrace
1:03:48
Speaker 1: it as the true voice of the people. Of course,
1:03:52
Speaker 1: Iran Caesar or the US embassy with all fifty two
1:03:55
Speaker 1: US diplomats who were held hostages for four hundred and
1:03:57
Speaker 1: forty days shows you what their reaction is. Move over
1:03:59
Speaker 1: to Ronald Reagan. He tried the Iran contra affairs sprung
1:04:01
Speaker 1: from his league. What they say are misguided hopes of
1:04:03
Speaker 1: getting the regime to free other US hostages and their
1:04:07
Speaker 1: move past hostility. Iran had taken the hostages via terror groups.
1:04:11
Speaker 1: It stood up in Lebanon, interesting that, and it spread
1:04:14
Speaker 1: its revolution. The proxies murdered hundreds of Americans and suicide
1:04:17
Speaker 1: bombings and became the template for the Iranian back militants
1:04:20
Speaker 1: that so wore across the region and have been since
1:04:23
Speaker 1: the Reagan years. George H. W. Bush tried to reach
1:04:26
Speaker 1: out to Tehran immediately with his inaugular address. Speaking of
1:04:28
Speaker 1: Americans held hostage, he told Iran, quote goodwill begets goodwill
1:04:33
Speaker 1: close quote. The regime wasn't looking for goodwill. I Ram
1:04:37
Speaker 1: was responsible for the tax in the region, including the
1:04:39
Speaker 1: Kobar Towers bombing that killed nineteen US servicemen and injured
1:04:42
Speaker 1: four hundred and nineteen ninety six. Bill Clinton then chased
1:04:46
Speaker 1: the quote reformists close quote President Muhammad Katami with gestures
1:04:51
Speaker 1: and concessions in the late nineteen nineties, only to discover
1:04:54
Speaker 1: the real power lay with the Ayatola, who had no interest.
1:04:57
Speaker 1: George w included i Ron and his quote unquote exis
1:05:00
Speaker 1: of evil, but declined to confront it, even as the
1:05:02
Speaker 1: Pentagon found responsible for the killing of hundreds of US
1:05:05
Speaker 1: soldiers in Iraq. Iran broke its nuclear program into pieces
1:05:08
Speaker 1: in those years, but kept advancing it, lying and covering
1:05:11
Speaker 1: up evidence. Next up, Barack Obama muted his disapproval when
1:05:16
Speaker 1: Iran stole the two thousand and nine election and murdered protesters.
1:05:20
Speaker 1: He did the same as Iran took over in Syria
1:05:22
Speaker 1: by massacurring ASAD regime opponents. A nuclear deal was said
1:05:25
Speaker 1: to be a path to a wider reproachment. Iran signed
1:05:30
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen only when it could keep it, only
1:05:32
Speaker 1: when it could keep its nuclear facilities, continue enriching Iran uranium,
1:05:36
Speaker 1: and received cash and sanctions relief. The regene then ramped
1:05:40
Speaker 1: up its intervention in Syria, its missile program, and its
1:05:43
Speaker 1: support for proxy terrorism. So how well that twenty fifteen
1:05:45
Speaker 1: agreement workout for you? Entered? Joe Biden pledged to return
1:05:48
Speaker 1: to the nuclear deal after Trump Withdrew Biden, gave Iran
1:05:51
Speaker 1: billions of dollars, stopped enforcing oil sanctions. Iran responded with
1:05:56
Speaker 1: nuclear acceleration and a major war with Israel. Israel wade
1:06:00
Speaker 1: yes via proxies and then directly will all of this
1:06:04
Speaker 1: finally change after the Israelis and US bombing campaigns. Mister
1:06:07
Speaker 1: Vance insisted on CNN that Iran's regime is quote a
1:06:10
Speaker 1: much different group of people close quote for whom quote
1:06:13
Speaker 1: something has fundamentally transformed close quote. That's the gamble, but
1:06:18
Speaker 1: there's scant evidence for it. Story of Yatola Communies rule
1:06:22
Speaker 1: eighty nine to twenty twenty six was the devouring of
1:06:25
Speaker 1: the state by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. His son around
1:06:27
Speaker 1: his new supreme leader says the only place for Americans
1:06:30
Speaker 1: in the Persian Gulf is quote at the bottom of
1:06:32
Speaker 1: its waters close quote. They're referring to the evil Satanic
1:06:37
Speaker 1: Americans in that statement, or he is the new regime
1:06:41
Speaker 1: of new regime click of IRGC leaders and muls has
1:06:44
Speaker 1: fired on golf neighbors, US forces and commercial ships throughout
1:06:47
Speaker 1: the ceasefire and even after the deal was announced. But
1:06:52
Speaker 1: on on CNBC, Vance said, you see people both the
1:06:55
Speaker 1: hardliners but also the more political people, saying, our relationship
1:06:59
Speaker 1: with the US over the past forty seven years has
1:07:01
Speaker 1: been a mistake. Let's turn over a new leaf. Close quote.
1:07:05
Speaker 1: We promise this is the journal. We promise that this
1:07:08
Speaker 1: wasn't mister Obama or John Kerry speaking like so many
1:07:11
Speaker 1: people before at the Trump administration wants to believe the regime,
1:07:13
Speaker 1: this regime is other than what it has shown itself
1:07:16
Speaker 1: to be. Sometimes miracles happen, or leaders dragged the regimes
1:07:20
Speaker 1: in a different direction andwar. Sadat gave his life to
1:07:24
Speaker 1: carry Egypt to peace with Israel. Mikhail Gorbachev forts the
1:07:27
Speaker 1: Soviet Union to reform. Who is the comparable new leader
1:07:31
Speaker 1: in Iran? No matter what it's what it was intimated
1:07:35
Speaker 1: in back talk channels. The unwillingness of Iran's regime to
1:07:38
Speaker 1: put substantive nuclear commitments in the memorandum of understanding is
1:07:42
Speaker 1: a warning. Mister Vance. The president seem to believe at
1:07:46
Speaker 1: the lure of gleaming hotels and three hundred billion dollars
1:07:50
Speaker 1: in investment is enough for the regime to abandon its
1:07:52
Speaker 1: revolutionary cause. It could have those hotels and prosperity for decades,
1:07:57
Speaker 1: but always chose revolution and terror. If Iran really is
1:08:00
Speaker 1: committed to its new direction, it shouldn't take sixty days
1:08:03
Speaker 1: to find out. If the regime won't abandon its nuclear program,
1:08:07
Speaker 1: it prefers revolution. I mean, just pause real quick. Echoing
1:08:10
Speaker 1: back to my comments in the five o'clock hour, considering,
1:08:13
Speaker 1: I believe they believe we are the absolute Satan because
1:08:16
Speaker 1: we undermine everything religious they want to live in the
1:08:19
Speaker 1: year five hundred, women of course covered up completely because
1:08:22
Speaker 1: men have well, I don't know, libidos that can't be controlled.
1:08:25
Speaker 1: Whatever it is. This is not a message that comes
1:08:28
Speaker 1: from American and it's not a message that comes from Hollywood.
1:08:30
Speaker 1: We are open, we are liberal in terms of our
1:08:32
Speaker 1: belief systems, and anything can kind of go here. That
1:08:35
Speaker 1: is what gives them revulsion. They hate it and they
1:08:38
Speaker 1: hate us for it, and they can easily see that
1:08:40
Speaker 1: kind of attitude undermining them. Do you think hotels and
1:08:44
Speaker 1: prosperity is what the Iranians really want? Do they want
1:08:47
Speaker 1: Iran to become the next I don't know Cuba before
1:08:50
Speaker 1: the revolution, eh huh, I doubt it. Anyway, that's our background.
1:08:55
Speaker 1: That's what we're going into with this memorandum of understanding
1:08:57
Speaker 1: and everything else that has to be hammered out myself
1:09:00
Speaker 1: and a bit jaded and cynical. Let's see what Congressman
1:09:02
Speaker 1: dar Davidson has to say about that. I hope you
1:09:04
Speaker 1: can stick around the Ihearted Radio app where we put
1:09:08
Speaker 1: the app someing if I'm here fifty five kre Ceede
1:09:11
Speaker 1: Talk station. Brian Thomas always pleased to have on the
1:09:15
Speaker 1: fifty five krs mornish and thank him for his willingness
1:09:17
Speaker 1: to talk about important issues with my listening audience and me.
1:09:20
Speaker 1: Welcome back, Congressman Warren Davidson.
1:09:24
Speaker 9: Brian, It's an honor to be with you again. Thank
1:09:26
Speaker 9: you well.
1:09:27
Speaker 1: Without me diving into any particular provision that I scratching
1:09:30
Speaker 1: my head over in this memorandum of understanding, which I
1:09:32
Speaker 1: understand has been signed already, your reaction to it, it
1:09:36
Speaker 1: sounds to me like it's rather lopsided in favor of
1:09:39
Speaker 1: the Iranians and leaves me with a whole lot of
1:09:41
Speaker 1: concerns along those lines. But I'm interested in hearing what
1:09:43
Speaker 1: you have to say right out of the gate, Congressman Davidson.
1:09:47
Speaker 9: Well, piece is better than war, so, but at what cost?
1:09:51
Speaker 5: Right?
1:09:52
Speaker 1: Yeah?
1:09:53
Speaker 9: We are we are we better off or worse off
1:09:56
Speaker 9: having done this in the first place. And you know,
1:09:59
Speaker 9: it's been interesting to see who's with President Trump on
1:10:02
Speaker 9: on supporting peace because they all wanted the war. You know,
1:10:06
Speaker 9: a lot of these guys that were like Lindsey Graham,
1:10:08
Speaker 9: that were cheering for war have been pretty tipid about
1:10:12
Speaker 9: the idea piece. And I think JD. Vance struck the
1:10:16
Speaker 9: right tone through the course of the week because you know,
1:10:19
Speaker 9: he's like, yeah, okay, I've supported the President's actions to
1:10:22
Speaker 9: take out the iyets Hola and everything else, but you know,
1:10:26
Speaker 9: in order to do what And if you look at
1:10:31
Speaker 9: the piece, he's like, look, we don't trust Iran. Their
1:10:34
Speaker 9: neighbors don't trust Iran. Nothing changed about Like there's some
1:10:38
Speaker 9: now newfound level of trust with Iran, right, but what
1:10:42
Speaker 9: Iran has been crippled. The part that's not in the
1:10:44
Speaker 9: agreement is, oh, yeah, and Iran agreed that we're gonna
1:10:48
Speaker 9: essentially wipe out their military, right, We're taking out their navy,
1:10:52
Speaker 9: We're taking out a massive amount of their missile capability. Okay,
1:10:58
Speaker 9: not everything. This isn't an un conditional surrender agreement. We
1:11:01
Speaker 9: didn't fight a land war for years to be able
1:11:04
Speaker 9: to occupy and control Iran. So for a series of
1:11:08
Speaker 9: air strikes in a navy blockade, you know, we basically
1:11:12
Speaker 9: got a Ran to agree to things that they weren't
1:11:14
Speaker 9: agreeing at, to negotiating at a negotiating table, and you know,
1:11:19
Speaker 9: not everything's done. There's sixty days where they're going to
1:11:22
Speaker 9: try to finish the agreement and so sort of picking
1:11:24
Speaker 9: up where they left off before the United States basically
1:11:28
Speaker 9: took out their top forty leaders with an air strike,
1:11:33
Speaker 9: and before we put a blockade on the straight hoh
1:11:35
Speaker 9: home moves. So maximum pressure had crippled their economy and
1:11:38
Speaker 9: caused massive inflation. You know, we're dealing with inflation in
1:11:41
Speaker 9: our own economy, caused massive inflation in the Iranian economy
1:11:45
Speaker 9: and lots of scarcity. Well, once you put the blockade
1:11:48
Speaker 9: on top of that, that's been on steroids. So the
1:11:51
Speaker 9: downside of a blockade and even sanctions and all that,
1:11:55
Speaker 9: it does cause problems for ordinary people. But to the
1:11:59
Speaker 9: extent there any resources, particularly in a dictatorship, those with
1:12:03
Speaker 9: power and money wind up with the stuff right. And
1:12:08
Speaker 9: there was a huge bit of anxiety from the existing
1:12:11
Speaker 9: maximum pressure campaign just before the war started in February
1:12:15
Speaker 9: twenty eighth people had protested and Iran killed thirty to
1:12:20
Speaker 9: forty thousand of their own people. And so if you
1:12:24
Speaker 9: think about this, if the British had done this in
1:12:28
Speaker 9: seventeen seventy two to seventeen seventy six, you know, not
1:12:33
Speaker 9: only would they have taken out thousands of supporters, that
1:12:36
Speaker 9: would have taken out Thomas Payne, Samuel Adams, John Adams,
1:12:40
Speaker 9: John Hancock. You know all these people that were instrumental
1:12:45
Speaker 9: in you know, George Washington. You take out George Washington,
1:12:48
Speaker 9: what is the country without all these people that are
1:12:50
Speaker 9: founding fathers. Those are the people that Iran killed in
1:12:54
Speaker 9: the run up to this strike. So the momentum behind it,
1:12:59
Speaker 9: you know, it has been there internally to change things.
1:13:02
Speaker 9: So I think this is a pretty good framework, and
1:13:04
Speaker 9: if it doesn't work, you can always go back to
1:13:06
Speaker 9: putting this on. So I think it gives the United
1:13:08
Speaker 9: States maximum optionality, and it gives Iran something they haven't
1:13:13
Speaker 9: been able to have even a hope of doing, which
1:13:16
Speaker 9: is re engaging with their neighbors and re engaging with
1:13:19
Speaker 9: the world economy. And I think everyone's right to be skeptical. Historically,
1:13:23
Speaker 9: if Iran has money, they're going to buy weapons. Yeah,
1:13:27
Speaker 9: and after they've bought some more weapons, if they have money,
1:13:31
Speaker 9: they give it to Hamas and Hezbalah and other proxy
1:13:34
Speaker 9: groups to buy more weapons. And what do they do
1:13:36
Speaker 9: They attack their neighbors, especially Israel.
1:13:40
Speaker 5: So if that.
1:13:41
Speaker 9: Continues, well you'll just see more of the same with
1:13:44
Speaker 9: a formal sixty day pause or however many days we
1:13:47
Speaker 9: make it.
1:13:47
Speaker 1: Well, that's one of the puzzling elements of this. Lebanon
1:13:50
Speaker 1: is specifically mentioned on a number of occasions, and of
1:13:53
Speaker 1: course Lebanon has its own government, and yet it's controlled
1:13:55
Speaker 1: by the terrorist entities. Now the terrorist entities has bought
1:13:59
Speaker 1: not a signatory the agreement, neither is Israel, so I
1:14:02
Speaker 1: don't view it as binding. Even though if his Balla
1:14:04
Speaker 1: does something, we know it's at the behest of the Iranians.
1:14:07
Speaker 1: But let's face it, it isn't Iran specifically doing it.
1:14:11
Speaker 1: So that's kind of a swirling thing. And in so
1:14:13
Speaker 1: far as a thirty thousand civilians who were murdered by
1:14:15
Speaker 1: the Iranian regime, going back to your earlier point, this
1:14:18
Speaker 1: memory of understanding specifically states US and in Iran undertake
1:14:22
Speaker 1: to respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity and to
1:14:24
Speaker 1: refrain from interfering with each other's internal affairs. What does
1:14:28
Speaker 1: that mean in so far as Iran's treatment of its
1:14:31
Speaker 1: own people. Are we going to do something if they
1:14:34
Speaker 1: take to the streets and start murdering folks again, is
1:14:36
Speaker 1: that going to be a deal breaker in the agreement?
1:14:39
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody knows, and it's one of the
1:14:40
Speaker 1: open questions that needs to be hammered out. But that
1:14:43
Speaker 1: is a concern.
1:14:46
Speaker 9: You're right on that one, and I think the problem,
1:14:49
Speaker 9: as you mentioned with Elebanon, you can tell President Trump
1:14:52
Speaker 9: is very frustrated with Netna who. He's been pretty close
1:14:56
Speaker 9: to netnya who over the years, but extremely frustrated. He's like, yeah,
1:14:59
Speaker 9: you get struck with two drums. That doesn't mean take
1:15:02
Speaker 9: down another apartment building in Beirut, you know. And so
1:15:06
Speaker 9: that's been that's been the challenge, you know, I think
1:15:09
Speaker 9: look post October seventh, twenty twenty three, or you know,
1:15:14
Speaker 9: when when Israel was attacked by Hamas and Gaza. Of course,
1:15:18
Speaker 9: unconditional surrender for Hamas. Hamas is not going to be
1:15:21
Speaker 9: part of any governing of anything. Is a right and
1:15:25
Speaker 9: just positioned by Israel. And you know, immediately after that
1:15:28
Speaker 9: you started taking rocket attacks in Israel from Hesbelah, which
1:15:34
Speaker 9: you know, similar kind of group of people in the
1:15:36
Speaker 9: north operating out Elebanon, and a lot of their headquarters
1:15:41
Speaker 9: are in Beirut. But let's say they are using some
1:15:44
Speaker 9: of an apartment building where you know some leader for
1:15:47
Speaker 9: that movement is in Berout. Well, that doesn't necessarily be
1:15:52
Speaker 9: if you stack a team outside that that apartment and
1:15:56
Speaker 9: take out those folks, that's one thing versus saying, well,
1:15:59
Speaker 9: you get in a and story apartment building, let's just
1:16:01
Speaker 9: collapse it. That's the kind of collateral damage that really
1:16:05
Speaker 9: is undermining support for Israel and their own cause. And
1:16:08
Speaker 9: I don't know that Israel sees it that way because
1:16:11
Speaker 9: they're fixated on stopping the threat to them. But outside
1:16:15
Speaker 9: of Israel, I think you're talking to people that are
1:16:17
Speaker 9: very pro Israel. They're like, yeah, help us, let us
1:16:19
Speaker 9: help you. All right, stop doing that. It's not helping you.
1:16:23
Speaker 9: And I guess President Trump's frustration there. It's a hard
1:16:27
Speaker 9: thing because look, Israel's a sovereign country. They should have
1:16:30
Speaker 9: an inherent right to self defense. And you know, to
1:16:34
Speaker 9: your point, Lebanon's a sovereign country, and to the extent
1:16:38
Speaker 9: they have any sovereignty, it's being undermined by Iran's proxy groups,
1:16:41
Speaker 9: so that hezbolah. So we didn't agree to it, not
1:16:45
Speaker 9: meddle in the internal affairs of Lebanon, I would say
1:16:48
Speaker 9: from the agreement, but it was interesting to kind of
1:16:51
Speaker 9: push pressure on net and Yahoo. President Trump even talked
1:16:55
Speaker 9: about Siria putting pressure in Lebanon instead of and that
1:17:01
Speaker 9: highlights that you know, isis and the sort of Sunni
1:17:05
Speaker 9: aligned folks aren't friends with Iran, and the Shia people
1:17:11
Speaker 9: with hesbolav So there's their own sort of internal conflict
1:17:14
Speaker 9: among gull states other than Israel.
1:17:17
Speaker 1: Well, that is true, but as so far as Lebanon goes,
1:17:19
Speaker 1: the first paragraph of this memorandum of understanding says, we
1:17:22
Speaker 1: declare the immediate and permanent, permanent termination of military operations
1:17:26
Speaker 1: on all fronts, including Lebanon, and undertake from now on
1:17:31
Speaker 1: not to initiate any war or military operation against each other,
1:17:34
Speaker 1: again specifically mentioning Lebanon's sovereignty and the final deal. It says,
1:17:39
Speaker 1: we'll confirm the permanent termination of the war on all fronts,
1:17:41
Speaker 1: including in Lebanon and other provisions of this paragraph. So
1:17:45
Speaker 1: it sounds to me like we will be prohibited from
1:17:47
Speaker 1: dealing doing anything in Lebanon. Again, is because Israel isn't
1:17:51
Speaker 1: a signatory. They can do whatever the hell they want.
1:17:52
Speaker 1: But I think Iran will view any action by Israel
1:17:56
Speaker 1: as approved by or at the behest of the United States,
1:18:01
Speaker 1: much in the same way that if there are any
1:18:02
Speaker 1: Hesbala actions against Israel or anybody else, we will view
1:18:06
Speaker 1: that as at the behest of the Iranians. So we're
1:18:09
Speaker 1: using other proxies to get missions done. Perhaps that seems
1:18:12
Speaker 1: to me like it's going to be status quo.
1:18:15
Speaker 9: Yeah. Look, I mean as long as there's been Islam,
1:18:19
Speaker 9: they've been the driver of the conflict with Israel. But
1:18:21
Speaker 9: even pre pre Islam, you know, Israel's bit at war
1:18:25
Speaker 9: with their neighbors, that's the it's all of recorded human history,
1:18:30
Speaker 9: they've been there. I think there's a lot of wisdom
1:18:32
Speaker 9: to me in saying, let's take this peaceful window to
1:18:36
Speaker 9: realize we don't have to insert ourselves into all the
1:18:39
Speaker 9: wars in all the places, and historically with respect Israel,
1:18:45
Speaker 9: Israel said just give us weapons or sell us weapons.
1:18:49
Speaker 9: We'll fight our own wars. This sort of shifted because
1:18:52
Speaker 9: they're like, Rian is a big enough and powerful enough country.
1:18:55
Speaker 9: They're like, well, a little fighting by you guys.
1:18:57
Speaker 5: Would be great.
1:18:58
Speaker 9: And you know, frankly, we did a lot more fighting
1:19:01
Speaker 9: than Israel in this effort, and we've led the negotiations,
1:19:04
Speaker 9: and you are seeing a rift between Israel's objectives and
1:19:08
Speaker 9: the United States objectives. And I think it's a fair
1:19:10
Speaker 9: consideration to say, if we're going to sign anything that
1:19:13
Speaker 9: has a hope of enduring, you've got to get all
1:19:15
Speaker 9: the parties to the war to sign all not a
1:19:21
Speaker 9: memoraneum of understanding, but a true treaty, a true agreement
1:19:25
Speaker 9: to work together in a certain way going forward. And
1:19:30
Speaker 9: I think that's possible. But it hasn't happened in history
1:19:34
Speaker 9: for any significant period of time without a powerful force
1:19:40
Speaker 9: imposing peace on other people. That's basically been the way.
1:19:44
Speaker 9: There's been some semblance of peace as you've been one
1:19:48
Speaker 9: party or the other occupy or an outside force like
1:19:51
Speaker 9: Rome occupy and impose conditions of peace.
1:19:55
Speaker 1: All right, Well, pause being Congressman Davids, about a couple
1:19:58
Speaker 1: of elements want to ask you about in this notable the.
1:20:01
Speaker 2: Future of the talk station.
1:20:05
Speaker 1: Fifty five K see the talk station Mary Thomas with
1:20:07
Speaker 1: Congressman Warren Davidson going through the memorandum of understanding sign
1:20:10
Speaker 1: between the United States and Iran, and a lot of
1:20:12
Speaker 1: details need to be ironed out in most of them.
1:20:14
Speaker 1: And Congressman Davidson one of the things that concerns me
1:20:17
Speaker 1: and others just read the agreement itself. First off, it's
1:20:21
Speaker 1: it's paragraph five. They agree to immediately start getting doing
1:20:25
Speaker 1: whatever they need to do to open up the strait
1:20:27
Speaker 1: of horror moves. And then it says Iran will be
1:20:30
Speaker 1: conducting dialogue with Oman and others to define the future
1:20:34
Speaker 1: administration and maritime services in the strait, recognizing or in
1:20:40
Speaker 1: line with applicable international law and sovereign rights of coastal state.
1:20:44
Speaker 1: So what that suggests to me and many others who
1:20:46
Speaker 1: are looking at it. Recognizing international law does not allow
1:20:48
Speaker 1: the charging of tolls. Fees are a different thing. They
1:20:53
Speaker 1: can be you can be required to pay fees if
1:20:55
Speaker 1: you get services provided by one of these you know nations.
1:21:00
Speaker 1: And there again there there's sovereign rights. So if they
1:21:03
Speaker 1: provide maritime services, navigation service, they're going to get you
1:21:06
Speaker 1: the boats are going to get charged. This is a
1:21:08
Speaker 1: new world order in terms of traffic flowing through the
1:21:10
Speaker 1: golf because that never existed before. Any concern over that
1:21:14
Speaker 1: or reaction over that. Congressman, well, I'm encouraged.
1:21:17
Speaker 9: This is an idea that I shared as a way
1:21:19
Speaker 9: to align interests of the Gulf States because they haven't
1:21:25
Speaker 9: been aligned. And and frankly, it's an advantage to the
1:21:28
Speaker 9: United States and are oil production. If you want to
1:21:31
Speaker 9: charge an extra fee for your oil, that that puts
1:21:35
Speaker 9: a premium on your oil in a discount to hours.
1:21:38
Speaker 9: So I think every oil producing country in the world
1:21:41
Speaker 9: is like, yeah, charge away, buddy, make the fees as
1:21:44
Speaker 9: high as you want, and we'll sell more stuff from
1:21:47
Speaker 9: our own country. But in the meantime, you know, if
1:21:50
Speaker 9: Iran's only way to participate in let's say they do
1:21:55
Speaker 9: charge some fee for service A, there has to be
1:21:58
Speaker 9: a service.
1:21:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, and be.
1:22:02
Speaker 9: If they want to keep participating in that, only have
1:22:05
Speaker 9: to collaborate with their neighbors. And so that gives all
1:22:08
Speaker 9: the neighbors skin in the game to put leverage on
1:22:11
Speaker 9: Iran versus just complain about them to the United States
1:22:14
Speaker 9: and try to get Iran in the United States to
1:22:15
Speaker 9: do something about it. It's like, now you guys work together,
1:22:18
Speaker 9: and it gives Iran some sort of path to cooperate
1:22:24
Speaker 9: with their neighbors. And they've got a new government, so look,
1:22:27
Speaker 9: I think they're probably just as radical and crazy as
1:22:30
Speaker 9: the previous government. And this may not work. But if
1:22:34
Speaker 9: it doesn't, what have you lost for trying?
1:22:36
Speaker 1: Well? And if people refuse to pay a fee, that's
1:22:38
Speaker 1: what they want to call it, and the Iranians, I suppose,
1:22:41
Speaker 1: have no other recourse but to start blowing stuff up again.
1:22:45
Speaker 1: That would be a bad idea from my perspective, but
1:22:48
Speaker 1: that's but.
1:22:49
Speaker 9: It would also be a clear cause for war.
1:22:51
Speaker 1: Right yeah, yeah, yeah, bad idea for the Irani right.
1:22:55
Speaker 9: Totally bad idea for Oran And it's like, yeah, you
1:22:58
Speaker 9: want to walk away from this and start start violence again, Well,
1:23:01
Speaker 9: now you've given adjust cause for war to all your neighbors.
1:23:06
Speaker 9: And if you look around the world, freedom and navigation
1:23:08
Speaker 9: is one of the principles that I think is important
1:23:10
Speaker 9: for us to preserve. And I think, you know, we've
1:23:13
Speaker 9: historically been a naval power. We've helped create freedom and
1:23:18
Speaker 9: navigation around the world and maintain it. And I think
1:23:21
Speaker 9: it's not just in everyone's interest around the planet to
1:23:24
Speaker 9: have freedom and navigation. It's especially in the United States
1:23:27
Speaker 9: interest to have freedom and navigation. But I will say, look,
1:23:30
Speaker 9: if they work together. Right now, you've got ships that
1:23:33
Speaker 9: are trapped in the golf and they've been working their
1:23:36
Speaker 9: way out. You know, it became public what was classified
1:23:40
Speaker 9: and as they were leading up to this negotiation, and
1:23:43
Speaker 9: part of what put pressure on Iran is we were
1:23:45
Speaker 9: getting ships through the golf. We were getting Iranian oil
1:23:48
Speaker 9: for free basically through the golf and getting these ships out,
1:23:54
Speaker 9: and we were controlling the straight albeit at it administright
1:23:59
Speaker 9: because of the situation already concerns and so once you've
1:24:03
Speaker 9: got people that aren't there, and if you know the
1:24:05
Speaker 9: terms and conditions are going there and it's going to
1:24:08
Speaker 9: cost you this much, well then it just becomes a
1:24:09
Speaker 9: business decision. Right, I could buy a person gulf oil
1:24:12
Speaker 9: at this rate with the fees and service and everything else,
1:24:16
Speaker 9: and it's great, These pots are amazing, and let's do it,
1:24:21
Speaker 9: or you go, well, you know, that's a pretty big
1:24:22
Speaker 9: premium to the market. I think I'll just get my
1:24:25
Speaker 9: oil from Venezuela. And the United States is continuing to
1:24:29
Speaker 9: build a different future for Venezuela. And here's the other
1:24:33
Speaker 9: thing that future right now looks to have solved the
1:24:37
Speaker 9: issue with the settlement in yuan. Right they're back to
1:24:42
Speaker 9: settling in US dollars at market rates, not below market rates.
1:24:46
Speaker 9: So China was getting oil way below market prices because
1:24:50
Speaker 9: of the sanctions regime the United States had that put
1:24:53
Speaker 9: pressure on countries like Venezuela and Iran. Well, we've got
1:24:56
Speaker 9: to sell our oil somewhere. We don't really have an
1:24:58
Speaker 9: open market way to do it. We can now sell
1:25:01
Speaker 9: it at full market price by settling in dollars. So
1:25:05
Speaker 9: that helps the ordinary people of Iran, of Venezuela, the
1:25:09
Speaker 9: people that we want to help, despite the fact that
1:25:12
Speaker 9: they have terrible leaders. So I think this gives you
1:25:17
Speaker 9: the hope of creating a better future in those countries.
1:25:20
Speaker 9: And frankly, it weakens China. They're not getting discanted oil
1:25:24
Speaker 9: and they're not settling in yuan. They're back to settling
1:25:27
Speaker 9: in dollars.
1:25:28
Speaker 1: Barnet, real quick, I know we're out of time. Just trackers,
1:25:30
Speaker 1: don't yell at me. I have to ask this the
1:25:32
Speaker 1: three hundred billion dollars to rebuild I don't know where
1:25:35
Speaker 1: the money's coming from Donald Trump said, not a single
1:25:37
Speaker 1: American tax payer dollar is going to do it. But
1:25:39
Speaker 1: this agreement does release or does end sanctions. It does
1:25:43
Speaker 1: free up money that the Iranians can use, apparently because
1:25:46
Speaker 1: the memorandum does not discuss it, for whatever purpose they want.
1:25:49
Speaker 1: But the flip side is, well, wait a second, what
1:25:51
Speaker 1: about all the damage that the Iranians are responsible for?
1:25:54
Speaker 1: Billions of dollars of damage to our aircraft, our US bases,
1:25:57
Speaker 1: and all the allies that the Iranians bomb throughout this.
1:26:00
Speaker 1: I guess they're not getting anything.
1:26:05
Speaker 9: Is Iran getting anything from us? Except money that we froze.
1:26:09
Speaker 9: We froze because we have control over the flow of
1:26:11
Speaker 9: money around the world, or at least a lot of
1:26:14
Speaker 9: influence over it. It certainly not total control, but a lot
1:26:17
Speaker 9: of influence over frozen assets. And so releasing those frozen
1:26:21
Speaker 9: assets is the one thing we can control for Iran.
1:26:23
Speaker 9: The idea that we would help facilitate three hundred billion
1:26:27
Speaker 9: of investment in Iran. The unstated part is is, well,
1:26:30
Speaker 9: if you're going to get that, you're going to have
1:26:31
Speaker 9: some level of responsibility for helping your neighbors that you
1:26:35
Speaker 9: blew up their stuff. And I think that's why the
1:26:38
Speaker 9: sea is. Ultimately, what they're going to land on is
1:26:41
Speaker 9: they're going to recover the money for one another off
1:26:45
Speaker 9: of the service. And I think that's what they're going
1:26:47
Speaker 9: to probably do, is they're all going to rebuild off
1:26:50
Speaker 9: of the fee that they charge through The.
1:26:51
Speaker 1: Golf clock is ticking. The sixty days has begun. I
1:26:55
Speaker 1: guess we're going to find out whether these details can
1:26:57
Speaker 1: be hammered out over the next sixty days. But it
1:26:59
Speaker 1: also includes a vision by mutual agreement that sixty days
1:27:02
Speaker 1: can be extended. And I'm not a betting man, but
1:27:04
Speaker 1: if I was a betting man, Congressman Davidson, I would
1:27:06
Speaker 1: think it's going to take longer than sixty your closing
1:27:09
Speaker 1: remarked before we part company, Sir.
1:27:12
Speaker 9: I'm sure there's already a market on Calshie and Poaly. Yeah, market,
1:27:16
Speaker 9: and you can go see what the odds are. But
1:27:18
Speaker 9: I would go with you. I guess without having looks
1:27:20
Speaker 9: that the odds are, we will go beyond sixty days fair.
1:27:23
Speaker 1: Enough for a prosperity. Domina and Neil, we're gonna talking
1:27:26
Speaker 1: about the America two fifty celebration, as we have been
1:27:28
Speaker 1: talking about the last several weeks. Real quick, Donald Neil,
1:27:30
Speaker 1: welcome back, my friend, and I if Father's Day applies
1:27:34
Speaker 1: to you, let me give you an early advance. Happy
1:27:36
Speaker 1: Father's Day, Donovan.
1:27:38
Speaker 10: Well, thank you, and you as well. I do I appreciate.
1:27:41
Speaker 10: I've got three, three not so little ones. They're almost
1:27:44
Speaker 10: they're all pretty much teenagers.
1:27:45
Speaker 2: Now.
1:27:46
Speaker 1: Oh well, I'm a little ahead of you. My pumpkin,
1:27:48
Speaker 1: my little girl. My youngest daughter's getting married next week,
1:27:51
Speaker 1: and we're so happy for both of them. We love
1:27:53
Speaker 1: the guy, and of course it's just you know, as
1:27:56
Speaker 1: we head on into Father's Day, it's like probably the
1:27:58
Speaker 1: greatest gift ever my daughter. So a really great guy
1:28:01
Speaker 1: that we love. And how many parents out there fighting
1:28:03
Speaker 1: that up. He'll struggle like, oh my god, I hate
1:28:05
Speaker 1: who my daughter or son is going out with. They're
1:28:07
Speaker 1: terrible people. Anyway, we got past that burden, so I'm
1:28:10
Speaker 1: gonna pat my wife and myself on the back for
1:28:12
Speaker 1: at least raising a smart girl. But donovand real quick,
1:28:16
Speaker 1: you're going door to door all the time before we
1:28:17
Speaker 1: get to two fifty. I am really just so upset
1:28:22
Speaker 1: because I hear from experts and people out in the world.
1:28:24
Speaker 1: I know, politics here in the state of Ohio. We
1:28:26
Speaker 1: got Vvigu Ramasomi or Amy Acton. To me, that is
1:28:29
Speaker 1: no choice. But I've got more and more people saying
1:28:31
Speaker 1: they're gonna sit it out because for whatever reason, they
1:28:33
Speaker 1: don't think vivig Ramasom he's worth voting for, which really
1:28:35
Speaker 1: irks me. And a lot of times I'm hearing because
1:28:37
Speaker 1: he's a person of color and Hindu, and that really
1:28:40
Speaker 1: irks me more than anything. I mean, I thought we
1:28:42
Speaker 1: lived in a post racial society. You have a demonstrably
1:28:45
Speaker 1: brilliant man who's willing to sacrifice his time, he does
1:28:49
Speaker 1: not need the job, and he's got great ideas to
1:28:51
Speaker 1: advance Ohio, make it more competitive. And yet no, he's
1:28:54
Speaker 1: not perfect. So I'm not gonna go out and vote Donovan.
1:28:57
Speaker 1: Are you finding this out when you're door knocking?
1:29:00
Speaker 5: What?
1:29:01
Speaker 10: First off? No, I think you're spot on, Brian, and
1:29:04
Speaker 10: with your assessment here, And what I would say is
1:29:06
Speaker 10: that we've found this over the years. The loudest voices
1:29:09
Speaker 10: aren't always reflective of where the majority is. And I
1:29:13
Speaker 10: think the majority of Conservatives are looking for a champion
1:29:15
Speaker 10: and they see that I'm a VA because someone who's
1:29:17
Speaker 10: gonna cut taxes, cut red tape and regulation and power
1:29:20
Speaker 10: failings with education, opportunity, curve spending and really move Ohio
1:29:24
Speaker 10: for middle in the Midwest to number one of the nation.
1:29:26
Speaker 4: Right.
1:29:26
Speaker 10: You don't get the free state of Florida without a
1:29:28
Speaker 10: bold governor like Ronda Santis. And I don't think we're
1:29:31
Speaker 10: going to have a bolder, better buck eyed Dave without
1:29:33
Speaker 10: somebody like you know that they cromost want me to
1:29:36
Speaker 10: options between him and Amy Acting couldn't be more clear.
1:29:39
Speaker 1: See, and that's the that's the only place they can
1:29:41
Speaker 1: conclude based upon simple application of logic and reason. Do
1:29:45
Speaker 1: you want Amy lockdown Acting, whatever left wing craps she's
1:29:48
Speaker 1: going to bring to the dead, to the to the office,
1:29:50
Speaker 1: or do you want a guy that said he's never
1:29:52
Speaker 1: going to go down that road. He wants to free
1:29:53
Speaker 1: up markets and let people prosper and thrive and you know,
1:29:56
Speaker 1: bring energy there. It's just there is no comparison. So
1:30:00
Speaker 1: let's put down the fact that it happened to be
1:30:01
Speaker 1: a person of color and not your religion. We don't
1:30:03
Speaker 1: live in a theocracy. He can't make your worship anything.
1:30:06
Speaker 1: And this isn't rewarding some religion over another. Eh, Donovan,
1:30:11
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I just want to tear every time I.
1:30:12
Speaker 10: Think again, you know, the folks there, I'm convinced there.
1:30:17
Speaker 10: You know, you could have Donald Trump and Ronald Reagan
1:30:20
Speaker 10: run for governor and lieutenant governor here in the state
1:30:21
Speaker 10: of Ohio and there would still be a handful of
1:30:24
Speaker 10: eliating conservatives who say they're just not good.
1:30:26
Speaker 2: Enough on that.
1:30:30
Speaker 1: On that point, I'm gonna let that go well, stated
1:30:33
Speaker 1: Donovan Neil. We'll talk about the two to fiftieth celebration
1:30:36
Speaker 1: next in the next segment with Donovan Neil from Americans
1:30:38

1:30:42

1:33:05
Speaker 1: all right, what's going to go on at the event.
1:33:07
Speaker 1: Who we're going to hear from. What's the reason for
1:33:09
Speaker 1: being there other than just to do the obvious and
1:33:11
Speaker 1: honor how awesome we are in a celebration of our
1:33:13
Speaker 1: twitter and fifty anniversary.
1:33:16
Speaker 10: Well, those are your listeners who can catch me on
1:33:18
Speaker 10: your show regularly. Know, we talk a lot of politics,
1:33:20
Speaker 10: we do a lot of policy. We're putting all that
1:33:23
Speaker 10: down to really dial in and focus on the one
1:33:25
Speaker 10: small steps that ordinary Americans have taken over the last
1:33:28
Speaker 10: two hundred and fifty years to create the most extraordinary
1:33:31
Speaker 10: nation on Earth. And so we're going to have folks
1:33:34
Speaker 10: like Jack Windsor interviewing actually us some three times US
1:33:38
Speaker 10: men's national soccer team goalie Brad Friedel. Brad's and Ohio
1:33:42
Speaker 10: native represented Ohio and has in the seasonal World Cup fever.
1:33:46
Speaker 10: Right now, with the World Cup being right here in
1:33:48
Speaker 10: the United States, we're excited to have Brad join us.
1:33:51
Speaker 10: He's a goalie played with the Columbus Crew, which is
1:33:54
Speaker 10: where our event's going to be held. So Jack will
1:33:56
Speaker 10: be interviewing Brad talking about how you go from small
1:33:59
Speaker 10: town Ohio to world stage, representing a nation in a
1:34:03
Speaker 10: global competition. We're going to have folks like Kelly Williams Bowler.
1:34:08
Speaker 10: Kelly is an Akron mom who took her kids out
1:34:11
Speaker 10: of one school, put him in another and actually went
1:34:13
Speaker 10: to Jailbrian for doing that, for giving her kids a
1:34:17
Speaker 10: better education. And then there's nothing more patriotic right than
1:34:21
Speaker 10: country music. We're going to have country music star Kofe
1:34:24
Speaker 10: Anderson actually announcing him on your show right now, brand
1:34:26
Speaker 10: Kofey Anderson is going to join us to provide a
1:34:31
Speaker 10: musical performance during the program. So we've got you know,
1:34:36
Speaker 10: global athletes, we've got conservative voices like Jack Windsor. We've
1:34:39
Speaker 10: got moms on a mission like Kelly Williams Buller, We've
1:34:42
Speaker 10: got country music stars like Kofe Anderson, all in celebration
1:34:46
Speaker 10: of the greatest nation on Earth.
1:34:47
Speaker 1: And there's also food and drinks there as I see
1:34:49
Speaker 1: you on there, so you got that aspect covered as well.
1:34:51
Speaker 1: It's'ld be a great time at five pms, a star
1:34:54
Speaker 1: time Huntington Field Club at Scott's Miracle Grow that's the
1:34:58
Speaker 1: place to be at It's Monday. All the information online
1:35:01
Speaker 1: and sign up register for the event. That's important to do,
1:35:04
Speaker 1: Donovan and Neil I maybe Jack Wender will talk to
1:35:07
Speaker 1: the soccer player Brad about international travel and what it's
1:35:10
Speaker 1: like in other countries, because I think one of the
1:35:12
Speaker 1: problems that most Americans have not experienced what the rest
1:35:15
Speaker 1: of the world looks like, and they tend to take
1:35:17
Speaker 1: for granted the beauty and the awesomeness of what we've
1:35:20
Speaker 1: got here.
1:35:22
Speaker 10: Oh, without a doubt, and I think you know, we're
1:35:25
Speaker 10: the greatest nation on earth for a reason, right, It's
1:35:27
Speaker 10: the foundational principles life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, the fact
1:35:31
Speaker 10: that you know, everybody has the opportunity to achieve their
1:35:34
Speaker 10: version of the American dream. And in fact, actually one
1:35:37
Speaker 10: other group we're going to have speaking the Libre Initiative,
1:35:39
Speaker 10: that's our Hispanic outreach liear Maren Markham, our strategic director.
1:35:43
Speaker 10: She's put together a number of Hispanic leaders, Hispanic and
1:35:47
Speaker 10: Latino leaders from across Ohio who she'll be featuring jorder
1:35:50
Speaker 10: to put a point on a fine point on folks
1:35:52
Speaker 10: who leave, you know, South American communist nations or leave
1:35:56
Speaker 10: about you know, take one more step to leave that environment,
1:36:00
Speaker 10: to create a better opportunity become American citizens and create
1:36:03
Speaker 10: you know, their version of America dream, just like you
1:36:06
Speaker 10: know our ancestors did before us. Brian, It's going to
1:36:09
Speaker 10: be I just can't say it enough.
1:36:10
Speaker 5: It's going to be a phenomenal program and.
1:36:11
Speaker 10: Really hit all the keynotes about patriotism, freedom, liberty, the
1:36:15
Speaker 10: stuff that makes this country great.
1:36:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's stuff that used to just give me a
1:36:19
Speaker 1: proud tingle up the back of my spine. And with
1:36:21
Speaker 1: all the negativity floating out in the world and in
1:36:24
Speaker 1: the horrors and the problems in the world generally, and
1:36:26
Speaker 1: all these anti United States people that live here and
1:36:30
Speaker 1: enjoy all these great benefits our nation offers them, for
1:36:32
Speaker 1: them to turn their back on it and criticize us
1:36:35
Speaker 1: and try to undermine what has worked out so well
1:36:37
Speaker 1: and brought prosperity to so many people, that's a heartbreaker.
1:36:40
Speaker 1: We need more patriotism in this country and I sure
1:36:42
Speaker 1: hope we get a big dose of it at the
1:36:44
Speaker 1: two fifty celebration.
1:36:45
Speaker 10: Donovan, Well, absolutely, and I've actually kind of been looking around,
1:36:50
Speaker 10: you know, I'm an internal optimist but it feels to
1:36:53
Speaker 10: me like we're just not celebrating America's twentter fiftieth strong enough.
1:36:56
Speaker 10: And so that's why we're proud to put so much
1:36:58
Speaker 10: effort into this, right We're you know, we need more parades,
1:37:00
Speaker 10: we need more festivals, we need more of that celebration
1:37:03
Speaker 10: of American exceptionalism. We're going to bring it AFPCBA lie break,
1:37:06
Speaker 10: We're going to bring it June twenty second. And so
1:37:08
Speaker 10: if you're you know, one of your listeners is on
1:37:09
Speaker 10: and I'm like, yeah, I'm looking for a way to
1:37:11
Speaker 10: celebrate America. No better way than joining us. You know
1:37:14
Speaker 10: this this coming Monday in Columbus, it'll be it'll be great.

Speaker 1: talk stations. Who's that Lows Camp It's seven fifty two
1:37:52
Speaker 1: at fifty five care See the talk station Friday Eve
1:37:56
Speaker 1: after the top of their news, got a time between
1:37:58
Speaker 1: eighty eight or five period of time pop back in
1:38:00
Speaker 1: and Jay Ratliffe coming up at a thirty I heard
1:38:03
Speaker 1: media aviation expert Jay rowt some great topics as always
1:38:06
Speaker 1: and just a quick acknowledgement. I always sad to see
1:38:08
Speaker 1: this talk about a reminder of in reflection of your
1:38:11
Speaker 1: own mortality. And thank you to Chris Shier, fellow classmate
1:38:14
Speaker 1: of mine from Okill's nineteen eighty three, and he runs
1:38:16
Speaker 1: the Facebook page for the geezers like me or over
1:38:19
Speaker 1: on Facebook. I learned that Mark Turpin passed away recently,
1:38:23
Speaker 1: just a few days ago, and he was a classmate there,
1:38:25
Speaker 1: and Chris lets us all know about that and keep
1:38:28
Speaker 1: track of and you see who has gone before us.
1:38:30
Speaker 1: It's just like that they're not here anymore. Yeah, you
1:38:36
Speaker 1: don't don't know to whom the bell tolls. You never
1:38:39
Speaker 1: know when your numbers coming up. So I want to
1:38:41
Speaker 1: enjoy the days why you've got them. In a happy
1:38:43
Speaker 1: Father's Day advance all the Father's Day out there, and
1:38:45
Speaker 1: please try to enjoy some time with dad. You'll reflect
1:38:48
Speaker 1: back on it and say, you know what, I really
1:38:50
Speaker 1: really am glad I spent that time with Dad. Did
1:38:52
Speaker 1: a little something special, wasn't enough, doesn't have to be expensive.
1:38:55
Speaker 1: You don't don't buy anything necessarily to make him some
1:38:58
Speaker 1: cookies or go fishing with him or whatever. You know,
1:39:02
Speaker 1: Dad likes to do that. Maybe he doesn't have enough
1:39:04
Speaker 1: time in his schedule to enjoy. He's not going to
1:39:06
Speaker 1: ask for anything. That was one of the things that
1:39:08
Speaker 1: was sort of revealed to me that Wall Street Journal
1:39:10
Speaker 1: article I read before the show came on. I didn't
1:39:12
Speaker 1: read it on the show. But dads will always say
1:39:14
Speaker 1: I don't want anything. That's what dad's do. They're macho.
1:39:17
Speaker 1: They at least say, oh, I don't need anything. I
1:39:19
Speaker 1: don't need anything. But deep down inside, if you press
1:39:21
Speaker 1: them hard enough, I think when it came a cru
1:39:23
Speaker 1: through in that article is I just want to do
1:39:25
Speaker 1: something I want to do with the family. So let's
1:39:27
Speaker 1: go down that road and do that. So God rest
1:39:29
Speaker 1: you Mark Turpin anyhow. Oh and for those who were
1:39:33
Speaker 1: keeping track at home, Yes, the Farmer Music Center will
1:39:36
Speaker 1: be getting two million dollars from these cities SINCINNY taxpayers.
1:39:38
Speaker 1: Why because they don't need it? Was even pointed out
1:39:42
Speaker 1: in the reporting on this even Vice Mayor Jamichell Kearney
1:39:46
Speaker 1: not in support of it because well, a financial analysis
1:39:49
Speaker 1: from the city said that, well, the project was going
1:39:52
Speaker 1: to move forward even if the city didn't get any support.
1:39:55
Speaker 1: They didn't ask for support and kicking the project off
1:39:57
Speaker 1: shovels broke around a wall a long while back. And
1:39:59
Speaker 1: then where did this ask come from? Formerly eight million dollars,
1:40:04
Speaker 1: that's what I have peb perval peg no. Well, okay,
1:40:06
Speaker 1: well back off. Now, how does two million dollars mean
1:40:09
Speaker 1: a damn thing in this project? And I don't know
1:40:11
Speaker 1: what a fire class would cost. But one of the
1:40:14
Speaker 1: ways they cut the budget this year they kicked the
1:40:16
Speaker 1: can down the road. They've delayed a recruit class to
1:40:19
Speaker 1: the Cincinni Fire Department, So instead of starting summer next year,
1:40:22
Speaker 1: which would have put it in the fiscal twenty twenty
1:40:24
Speaker 1: seven budget, they've pushed it into well maybe because we'll
1:40:28
Speaker 1: have to wait for them to deal with the twenty
1:40:30
Speaker 1: twenty eight budget. That's where they say the new money
1:40:32
Speaker 1: for the fire class is going to come. I just
1:40:34
Speaker 1: have a question. I don't know the answer to it,
1:40:36
Speaker 1: so let me ask rhetorically, if they didn't give two
1:40:38
Speaker 1: million dollars to the Farmer Music Center, would they have
1:40:41
Speaker 1: been able to move forward with a fire class. I
1:40:46
Speaker 1: suspect yes, or at least that probably would have gone
1:40:48
Speaker 1: a long way to doing the class. You just have
1:40:51
Speaker 1: to wait for it now. At least the fire Department
1:40:54
Speaker 1: of police departments do get more money in the budget.
1:40:56
Speaker 1: It's seven to fifty five right now. Time to talk
1:40:58
Speaker 1: after the top of the outer news. Phone lines are open,
1:41:00
Speaker 1: so please feel free to call five one three, seven
1:41:02
Speaker 1: four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two

Speaker 1: Fund's right.
1:41:06
Speaker 3: Back America the talk station.
1:41:15
Speaker 1: Eight O, five and fifty five KR. See the talk station.
1:41:19
Speaker 1: It's Friday Eve. Regular listeners, no coming to at the
1:41:22
Speaker 1: bottom of this hour. Jay Ratliff, I heart media aviation expert,
1:41:25
Speaker 1: always with some fun and very interesting topics, including rats
1:41:28
Speaker 1: on planes. Yeah. Looking forward to talking with you, Jay,
1:41:32
Speaker 1: I always do. Didn't get a chance to hear Congress
1:41:34
Speaker 1: Moarren Davis, who went through some of the provisions of
1:41:36
Speaker 1: this memorandum of understand them in the last hour beginning
1:41:38
Speaker 1: to get seven oh five. You can find that podcast
1:41:40
Speaker 1: fifty five krs dot com. He's slightly more optimistic than
1:41:43
Speaker 1: I am. I took a pessimistic view of it because
1:41:44
Speaker 1: of a lot of giant holes in the agreement that
1:41:48
Speaker 1: apparently need to be hammered out, a lot of them.
1:41:52
Speaker 1: And when you go through it, and it's worth going through,
1:41:55
Speaker 1: and you too can circle the words like plan on
1:41:58
Speaker 1: undertake to refrain from and we can kick the can
1:42:02
Speaker 1: down the street while we discuss over a period of
1:42:04
Speaker 1: sixty days, subject to an extension mutually agreed upon if
1:42:07
Speaker 1: we need to go more than sixty days. So not
1:42:10
Speaker 1: a whole lot of specificity and clarity in here. And
1:42:12
Speaker 1: then also the fact that this agreement does include specific
1:42:15
Speaker 1: language about Lebanon, for example the outset first paragraph. I
1:42:20
Speaker 1: believe US and Islam in Iran and their allies into
1:42:25
Speaker 1: the current war. By signing this MoU declare the immediate
1:42:31
Speaker 1: and in permanent termination of military operations on all fronts,
1:42:34
Speaker 1: including Lebanon, and undertake from now on to initiate, not
1:42:38
Speaker 1: to initiate, rather any war or military operation against each other.
1:42:41
Speaker 1: And refrain from the thread or use of force against
1:42:44
Speaker 1: each other, and ensuring the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Lebanon. Well,
1:42:51
Speaker 1: you know, that word Lebanon being in there kind of
1:42:52
Speaker 1: complicates matters because the signatories to the agreement are right,
1:42:56
Speaker 1: the US and Iran to the extent there's a problem
1:43:02
Speaker 1: with Lebanon. I think, most notably, it's a problems we'd
1:43:04
Speaker 1: has ballin the Israelis, neither of whom are signatories on
1:43:09
Speaker 1: this agreement. So I don't know what it's going to
1:43:11
Speaker 1: mean down the road once we get if we do get,
1:43:13
Speaker 1: and that's a big if A sign memorand I signed agreement,
1:43:17
Speaker 1: because again, a lot of the details need to be
1:43:19
Speaker 1: hammered out, most notably like the nuclear in the future,
1:43:21
Speaker 1: purchase of arms and the fees that are apparently going
1:43:24
Speaker 1: to be charged after this sixty day window where they
1:43:26
Speaker 1: promise they will not be charged for ships going through
1:43:29
Speaker 1: the Straight of Horror moves and Congressman Davidson did a
1:43:31
Speaker 1: good job of addressing that a specific one, But I mean,
1:43:35
Speaker 1: it's really tough to discern how this is going to
1:43:37
Speaker 1: be enforced if there is ultimately an agreement, and whether
1:43:40
Speaker 1: there is one is going to take a lot of negotiations,
1:43:44
Speaker 1: and Trump, for his part, just kind of admitted something
1:43:46
Speaker 1: and kind of raised the swirling specter of will this
1:43:49
Speaker 1: be Oh my god, it's just the same thing as
1:43:51
Speaker 1: the Obama agreement. Now last month, when asked about what
1:43:55
Speaker 1: if he was concerned about American's financial situations in order
1:43:59
Speaker 1: to bring a a deal to end this war, he
1:44:01
Speaker 1: said not even a little bit, and said, I don't
1:44:04
Speaker 1: think about American's financial situation. I don't think about anybody.
1:44:08
Speaker 1: I think about one thing. We cannot let Iran have
1:44:10
Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon. That's all. Well, let's start contrasts from yesterday.
1:44:15
Speaker 1: I believe when he was talking to reporters he said
1:44:17
Speaker 1: he didn't want to be considered Herbert Hoover, obviously president
1:44:21
Speaker 1: during the Great Depression. I didn't want to see an
1:44:25
Speaker 1: economic catastrophe. So economics obviously driving this opening the straight
1:44:31
Speaker 1: of horror moves, which this the memory of understanding, suggests
1:44:34
Speaker 1: they are going to do both sides, push every effort
1:44:38
Speaker 1: toward getting rid of the minds and open up the
1:44:40
Speaker 1: straight of horror moves to traffic and again for a
1:44:42
Speaker 1: finite period of time while they hammer out the details
1:44:44
Speaker 1: as far as the fees are concerned, it leaves wide
1:44:47
Speaker 1: open the opportunity for Ron to start charging for fees,
1:44:51
Speaker 1: and they characterize them not in the memorandum of understanding,
1:44:54
Speaker 1: which does acknowledge that they will play nicely in so
1:44:57
Speaker 1: far as that goes and abide by intern national law.
1:45:01
Speaker 1: International law does not allow tolls through international waters, but
1:45:04
Speaker 1: does not prohibit the countries from charging fees to the
1:45:08
Speaker 1: extent any of their well their maritime resources are used,
1:45:15
Speaker 1: or any resource of any given state in getting boats
1:45:18
Speaker 1: through that straight they can charge for that, and as
1:45:21
Speaker 1: Congressman David said, acknowledge, well, it should be a charge,
1:45:24
Speaker 1: should be a charge related to what they're actually out
1:45:26
Speaker 1: of pocket and providing whatever service there is. But there
1:45:29
Speaker 1: is a possibility that from now on, at some point
1:45:32
Speaker 1: it's going to be a I'm going to call it
1:45:34
Speaker 1: a toll, call it what you want talk to orwell
1:45:36
Speaker 1: about how we label things. But I guess in order
1:45:38
Speaker 1: to get around the international law realities of it, they
1:45:40
Speaker 1: got to call it a fee, and maybe it will
1:45:42
Speaker 1: be connected to some actual out of pocket costs for
1:45:44
Speaker 1: the Iranians. Yeah, hold your breath and figure out how
1:45:48
Speaker 1: that's going to work out. And as I pointed out,
1:45:50
Speaker 1: I don't know any other way for the Iranians to
1:45:52
Speaker 1: enforce this, you know, exactly exact fees from boats, unless
1:45:57
Speaker 1: they blow one up that doesn't pay the fee anyway.
1:46:01
Speaker 1: Details to follow, definitely, And back over here in the
1:46:05
Speaker 1: state of Ohio, back to Donovan and Neil, Americans for Prosperity,
1:46:08
Speaker 1: get signed up for the two hundred and fiftieth celebration Monday.
1:46:11
Speaker 1: Get some patriotism going in you. And I find myself
1:46:15
Speaker 1: in regularly disagreeing with Governor Mike DeWine. I think that's
1:46:18
Speaker 1: in line with a lot of my listening audience. But
1:46:20
Speaker 1: here's where I find myself in a point of agreement.
1:46:23
Speaker 1: He finally has come out against the death penalty. Yeah. Now,
1:46:26
Speaker 1: back in the day when he was Senator and fromout
1:46:30
Speaker 1: his entire political career, he's been a supporter of the
1:46:32
Speaker 1: death penalty. In fact, he was a co sponsor of
1:46:34
Speaker 1: Senate Bill one, which was signed by into law by
1:46:37
Speaker 1: Governor James Road nineteen eighty one, which reinstated the death
1:46:41
Speaker 1: penalty in Ohio after the Supreme Court struck down our
1:46:43
Speaker 1: prior one. And his comment along those lines when I
1:46:46
Speaker 1: voted for the reinstatement of the death penalty in eighty one.
1:46:48
Speaker 1: I believe that in some cases, capital punishment could serve
1:46:52
Speaker 1: as a deterrent to keep some people from killing. For me,
1:46:56
Speaker 1: it was the moral justification for having the death penalty,
1:46:59
Speaker 1: he said, But you know, look at death row data.
1:47:01
Speaker 1: He no longer believes that is an effective deterrent today.
1:47:04
Speaker 1: It is today impossible to make that case, he said.
1:47:08
Speaker 1: I do not believe that the argument today can be
1:47:11
Speaker 1: successfully made now whether or not it is a deterrence,
1:47:13
Speaker 1: And I think I'm going to lean on the side
1:47:15
Speaker 1: that it is. And if someone's going to go around
1:47:16
Speaker 1: and murder someone, I doubt they're thinking about a successful
1:47:21
Speaker 1: prosecution and ultimately death penalty application in the sentencing phase.
1:47:28
Speaker 1: It rarely ever happens. But I find myself in agreement
1:47:33
Speaker 1: with him for a different reason, which is something I've
1:47:34
Speaker 1: mentioned bef previously on the morning show. I used to
1:47:36
Speaker 1: be all kill him, all that God sort him out
1:47:38
Speaker 1: kind of guy, And I'm so close to saying that
1:47:39
Speaker 1: death penalty should apply in cases of pedophiles. But I'm
1:47:44
Speaker 1: being the libertarian guy. I don't believe the state should
1:47:48
Speaker 1: have the power to take your life from you. Has
1:47:51
Speaker 1: anybody noticed the state screws up from time to time? Yeah? Really,
1:47:56
Speaker 1: has anybody ever heard of maybe untoward behavior by prosecutors
1:48:00
Speaker 1: withholding evidence, denying, defending certain access to information, expert witnesses,
1:48:07
Speaker 1: there's that word again, lying on the stand. And we've
1:48:10
Speaker 1: had illustrations of this with corners just making stuff up
1:48:15
Speaker 1: and corrupt individuals getting involved in the prosecution to people
1:48:18
Speaker 1: for whatever reason. It isn't always the dream that we
1:48:22
Speaker 1: believe the American justice system is. And trust me, it's
1:48:25
Speaker 1: far better than any other country out there. But if
1:48:29
Speaker 1: we can take someone's life, even with concerns about untoward
1:48:34
Speaker 1: behavior by prosecutors or others in the criminal justice system,
1:48:37
Speaker 1: that means some people. And it's well documented that they
1:48:40
Speaker 1: have sat on death row until organizations out there come
1:48:44
Speaker 1: along and help them. And oh here, look there's DNA
1:48:46
Speaker 1: evidence proving that this guy wasn't the guy who raped
1:48:49
Speaker 1: that and killed that particular person. I believe, as long
1:48:51
Speaker 1: as that's a possibility, no state should be able to
1:48:53
Speaker 1: liberate someone's life from them. And the other corollary to
1:48:56
Speaker 1: that is, yeah, but we're gonna have to pay for
1:48:58
Speaker 1: them in prism, you know what, I'm happy to pay
1:48:59
Speaker 1: ten access for that? Does anybody think prison is a
1:49:03
Speaker 1: grand and glorious place to be if you enjoy whatever
1:49:07
Speaker 1: freedoms and liberties you enjoy, If you like to walk
1:49:09
Speaker 1: outside of your front door whenever you want to, you
1:49:12
Speaker 1: want to hop in your car, run down to a
1:49:13
Speaker 1: convenience store. Isn't it nice to be able to have
1:49:17
Speaker 1: that freedom in liberty? How would you like to be
1:49:18
Speaker 1: stuck in an environment where you are beholden to while
1:49:21
Speaker 1: a prison warden and all the rules and regulations that
1:49:23
Speaker 1: go along with that. You are locked in a cell
1:49:27
Speaker 1: and you're surrounded by some pretty damn horrific people, and
1:49:33
Speaker 1: I'm sure you can use your imagination understand the type
1:49:35
Speaker 1: of abuse you might be subjected to if you are
1:49:37
Speaker 1: locked up in prison. That will not end. You're not
1:49:41
Speaker 1: going to get the sweet freedom of death. You are
1:49:44
Speaker 1: going to face that reality every waking moment of the
1:49:47
Speaker 1: day and maybe even during your nighttime hours when you
1:49:50
Speaker 1: should be slumbering. Lock them up for life now down
1:49:57
Speaker 1: the road, as has been the case with so many
1:49:59
Speaker 1: people on death row, some organization out there who does
1:50:01
Speaker 1: the fine work of trying to liberate people who've been
1:50:03
Speaker 1: wrongfully prosecuted and convicted, they may come along to help you,
1:50:07
Speaker 1: and maybe after even a decade or two. Has has
1:50:09
Speaker 1: been the case well documented people finally released and given
1:50:13
Speaker 1: their freedom once it's been proven that they were wrongfully convicted.
1:50:17
Speaker 1: At least the state didn't take their life away from them.
1:50:20
Speaker 1: At least they can go on and live the balance
1:50:23
Speaker 1: of their life. No one can unring the bell of
1:50:25
Speaker 1: a wrongful prosecution and conviction, but at least the state
1:50:29
Speaker 1: didn't get to pull the plug on them. Talk station,
1:50:37
Speaker 1: It's eight nineteen here at fifty five k or seed
1:50:39
Speaker 1: talk station looking forward, V and J. Ratliff back on
1:50:41
Speaker 1: as I always do it. Coming up in the next segment,
1:50:43
Speaker 1: Aviation Expuse rats on planes among others. Over Oh, and
1:50:49
Speaker 1: I got to acknowledge allergy outbreak has had one over
1:50:52
Speaker 1: the last break. Damn Facebook and its memory page. Now
1:50:56
Speaker 1: I mentioned my daughter's getting married next week and what
1:50:59
Speaker 1: a great Father's Day give that is, and I get
1:51:01
Speaker 1: emotional thinking about it. My little pumpkin, a nine year
1:51:05
Speaker 1: ago memory popped up. It's my daughter and me, you know,
1:51:09
Speaker 1: big grins on her face in a hug right in
1:51:11
Speaker 1: front of Zip's cafe. Nine years ago. Man I certainly
1:51:17
Speaker 1: have aged. She still looks the same, like holy cow
1:51:21
Speaker 1: in the face of her getting married next week. It's
1:51:23
Speaker 1: just really got to me emotionally. So anyway, I'm proud,
1:51:26
Speaker 1: I'm happy, and I got a blessing for Father's Day.
1:51:28
Speaker 1: So anyway, how do you feel about the ban on
1:51:34
Speaker 1: intoxicating him products? You were THHC drinks and intoxicating him products.
1:51:38
Speaker 1: They were banned with Center Bill fifty six back in March,
1:51:41
Speaker 1: and a lot of local breweries were brewing up these
1:51:44
Speaker 1: THCHC infused beverages, and I've talked to a lot of
1:51:46
Speaker 1: people who had them, and they didn't They thought they
1:51:48
Speaker 1: were fine, didn't have any problem with them. And of course,
1:51:51
Speaker 1: with marijuana being legal in the state of Ohio, it
1:51:53
Speaker 1: seemed like a natural outcropping of that. But then the
1:51:55
Speaker 1: band came along and you're scratching your head, going, wait
1:51:57
Speaker 1: a second, didn't we vote for a constitutional amendment legal this. Well,
1:52:01
Speaker 1: I guess the judge at least agreed with one of
1:52:04
Speaker 1: many breweries that manufactured these urban artifacts, specifically cited by
1:52:08
Speaker 1: Marlena laying Over at WCPO reporting on this. I'm very
1:52:12
Speaker 1: happy that with the judge's decision because a judge has
1:52:17
Speaker 1: issued an injunction. So Urban Artifact in nine other companies
1:52:21
Speaker 1: sued ninety six Ohio County municipal prosecutors earlier in the month,
1:52:24
Speaker 1: claiming that the new hemp licensing law written in the
1:52:27
Speaker 1: Senate Bill fifty six was unconstitutional. Federal judge on Monday
1:52:35
Speaker 1: granted a fourteen day temporary restraining order blocking the sale
1:52:39
Speaker 1: from the state from taking any enforcement action against at
1:52:42
Speaker 1: least the companies that are named in the lawsuit. So
1:52:44
Speaker 1: if there's one of the unnamed companies out there that's
1:52:46
Speaker 1: manufacturing this, sorry sucks BU you weren't part of the lawsuit,
1:52:50
Speaker 1: but if you are one of the ten total that
1:52:52
Speaker 1: were involved, at least you get a fourteen day reprieve.
1:52:56
Speaker 1: Judges finding stated that Senate Bill fifty six likely violates
1:53:00
Speaker 1: the Constitution because it requires products to be sourced, made,
1:53:04
Speaker 1: and distributed only in Ohio, which blocks out of state sellers.
1:53:08
Speaker 1: That sounds me like a commerce clause argument, you know,
1:53:11
Speaker 1: interfering with interstate commerce by depriving others the opportunity to
1:53:15
Speaker 1: enter into the Ohio marketplace. There you have it, so
1:53:17
Speaker 1: it seems right, and remember to get a temporary restraining
1:53:20
Speaker 1: order and an injunction. You have to show the likelihood
1:53:23
Speaker 1: of success on the merits. A judge needs to take
1:53:26
Speaker 1: a look at the law, and everybody makes these arguments
1:53:28
Speaker 1: in their briefs. So you had, you know, as good
1:53:30
Speaker 1: of argument as you can make from both sides of this.
1:53:32
Speaker 1: The prevailing argument unconstitutional. That just means the judge has
1:53:35
Speaker 1: looked at the law and said, you know what, it
1:53:37
Speaker 1: looks like the plaintiffs in this case are going to win.
1:53:40
Speaker 1: So we're going to stop this from taking effect because
1:53:43
Speaker 1: they're probably going to win, and that interim period where
1:53:45
Speaker 1: they're banned from selling and unloading their products that they've made.
1:53:50
Speaker 1: I guess the judge determined constituted irreparable harm, which is
1:53:54
Speaker 1: another component of this getting an injunction kind of thing.
1:53:56
Speaker 1: So if you can solve the problem monetarily, then you
1:54:01
Speaker 1: can't be irreparably harmed. Now consider this. If they're going
1:54:05
Speaker 1: to tear down a historic building and you want the
1:54:07
Speaker 1: building preserved and you got a good legal argument, they're
1:54:10
Speaker 1: not going to let the demolition go through because you
1:54:13
Speaker 1: can't rebuild the building in accordance with this historical element.
1:54:17
Speaker 1: So that would be an irreparable harm. But if it's
1:54:20
Speaker 1: just a question of money, like let's say, arguing over
1:54:23
Speaker 1: who's entitled to the proceeds and some bank account, I'm
1:54:28
Speaker 1: making up something on the fly here, dormant bank account's
1:54:30
Speaker 1: got a million dollars in it. If it goes to
1:54:34
Speaker 1: the wrong person, you ultimately prevail on litigation, you can
1:54:37
Speaker 1: be made whole. In other words, you're not irreparably harmed
1:54:39
Speaker 1: because someone can write you a check and make you
1:54:41
Speaker 1: whole again. So I'm not quite sure because they didn't
1:54:44
Speaker 1: see the decision how that fits into this equation. Because
1:54:47
Speaker 1: couldn't Urban Artifact be made whole by a payment that
1:54:50
Speaker 1: would make up for the loss of money that it
1:54:53
Speaker 1: experienced with the manufacturing of these drinks. There's probably more
1:54:57
Speaker 1: complicated than that, but we'll see where that plays out
1:55:00
Speaker 1: over the long term. So, uh, there was something else
1:55:08
Speaker 1: I wanted to try to get in before we get
1:55:10
Speaker 1: to Jay. Can't find the article I wanted to rely on. Anyway,
1:55:15
Speaker 1: it has happened from time to time, So anyway, keep
1:55:18
Speaker 1: your popcorn out in the straight of horror moos thing. Well,
1:55:21
Speaker 1: hopefully I can only pray that ultimately it works out right,
1:55:23
Speaker 1: it works out. Well, the point is as straight is
1:55:26
Speaker 1: going to be opened back up in fairly short order,
1:55:28
Speaker 1: and the Iranians look like they may get a pretty
1:55:30
Speaker 1: decent windfall from all this when the dust settles. And
1:55:33
Speaker 1: go back to the point that I mentioned earlier, and
1:55:35
Speaker 1: I'll encourage you to check out the Wall Street Journal
1:55:37
Speaker 1: article about Iran. They're not a normal country. And when
1:55:42
Speaker 1: I think about in the context is this three hundred
1:55:44
Speaker 1: billion dollars to rebuild the Iranian Some are suggesting that, well,
1:55:47
Speaker 1: this will just bring them into the fold. This will
1:55:49
Speaker 1: you know if you look at Saudi Arabia compares to
1:55:51
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia from thirty years ago to today, they have
1:55:53
Speaker 1: become a very westernized country. It's a point I made earlier,
1:55:58
Speaker 1: and I made it early in the program. That's not
1:55:59
Speaker 1: what the Iranians want. Whatever money they get, they we
1:56:04
Speaker 1: build their own infrastructure for their own people. But they're
1:56:06
Speaker 1: not going to be building casinos and big hotels and resorts.
1:56:09
Speaker 1: That's a Western thing that undermines their religious philosophy and principles,
1:56:13
Speaker 1: which is yes, well to live like you're in five
1:56:16
Speaker 1: hundred AD. This is why we're the great Satan. I'm
1:56:19
Speaker 1: just trying to hammer that point home. Either they believe
1:56:22
Speaker 1: they are dealing with the worst possible entity on the planet.
1:56:26
Speaker 1: Perhaps the Israelis are in front of us, but because
1:56:29
Speaker 1: we are Western, because we are modern, because we embrace
1:56:32
Speaker 1: openness and we embrace things like the LGBTQ plus plus
1:56:35
Speaker 1: plus community, they hate that that undermines their religion. And
1:56:42
Speaker 1: from a Christian friends out there, how many years have
1:56:44
Speaker 1: you been dealing with Western society, most notably Hollywood, undermining
1:56:48
Speaker 1: your belief system. I've been hearing that. I mean my
1:56:52
Speaker 1: entire life. I've witnessed it. You can't come across a
1:56:56
Speaker 1: sitcom or a comedian or a movie or anything that
1:56:59
Speaker 1: doesn't take jab at Christianity are come out outright making
1:57:02
Speaker 1: fun of you for being a Christian. They haven't gone
1:57:05
Speaker 1: full on anti Muslim yet, I think because they think
1:57:08
Speaker 1: that somebody might behead them or issue a fatwah or
1:57:10
Speaker 1: jihat on them. But Marxists don't like religion. Religion puts
1:57:22
Speaker 1: religion ahead of the state. Religion is the higher power
1:57:26
Speaker 1: to which you answer, not the state. And that's why
1:57:30
Speaker 1: the comedies and the Marxists hate it. So that's been
1:57:32
Speaker 1: going on a long time for here and I think
1:57:34
Speaker 1: the Islamic fundamentalist radicals as they are murderous and crazy
1:57:38
Speaker 1: as we believe them to be, I think demonstrably, so
1:57:41
Speaker 1: they don't want that in their neighborhood. A twenty six
1:57:44
Speaker 1: fifty five kc DE talk station. There I got through
1:57:47
Speaker 1: the segment come up or coming up, Jay Ratliff, I
1:57:49
Speaker 1: heart media aviation expert, and God bless them for coming up.
1:57:51
Speaker 3: Don't go away Thomas Edison's photograph recording this time of.
1:57:57
Speaker 1: The Week, get to talk to I hurt media aviation Expert,
1:57:59
Speaker 1: Jay Lift Jay, welcome back, my friend. In an early
1:58:02
Speaker 1: Happy Father's Day to you, my brother.
1:58:04
Speaker 11: Oh, pleasant Thursday to you, and the same to you
1:58:08
Speaker 11: as as well, my friend. It's a time that we
1:58:11
Speaker 11: can celebrate our dads and how we were raised.
1:58:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, and sort of trying to reflect on our
1:58:16
Speaker 1: own accomplishments. Although I like all things, I'm rather self deprecating,
1:58:20
Speaker 1: and my kids will probably say I'm a pretty good dad,
1:58:22
Speaker 1: you know. I just look back and think of all
1:58:24
Speaker 1: the opportunities. Maybe I could have stepped up and done
1:58:26
Speaker 1: a better job. But with my daughter getting buried next week,
1:58:29
Speaker 1: she picked a great guy. We love him and that
1:58:31
Speaker 1: to me, is a good enough accomplishment because I know
1:58:33
Speaker 1: so many people who can't say that about their sons
1:58:36
Speaker 1: or daughter's spouse or significant others.
1:58:38
Speaker 11: So a big, big time and congratulations. Beyond that, it's
1:58:43
Speaker 11: always nice to see him making good decisions.
1:58:45
Speaker 1: Amen, brother, Moving over, maybe bad decision. Let's start with
1:58:49
Speaker 1: this B fifty two crash. I immediately thought of you,
1:58:51
Speaker 1: as I do with all major airline issues, and of
1:58:54
Speaker 1: course when you see this catastrophe, that is one massive plane.
1:58:57
Speaker 1: But this plane's been in service for so long, and
1:59:00
Speaker 1: I get an understanding from the sort of limited reporting
1:59:03
Speaker 1: I've read on it, Jay, they were undergoing an upgrade
1:59:06
Speaker 1: on the airplane to modernize it for future use. Does
1:59:10
Speaker 1: that have any connection to White crash? Are we still
1:59:12
Speaker 1: in the dark on that, sir?
1:59:13
Speaker 11: We're pretty much in the dark. And you know, those
1:59:16
Speaker 11: upgrades happen over a period of time, because this aircraft
1:59:20
Speaker 11: has been in service, these types of planes for decades
1:59:23
Speaker 11: going way back. And when you're talking about aircraft might be,
1:59:27
Speaker 11: you know, forty fifty sixty years old, water might have
1:59:29
Speaker 11: to be. They're constantly being modernized with upgrades to make
1:59:34
Speaker 11: them more efficient at what they do. And of course,
1:59:38
Speaker 11: when you've got this huge aircraft that's in the critical
1:59:41
Speaker 11: stage of takeoff, fully fueled, perhaps with munitions on board
1:59:45
Speaker 11: for the training that they were going to be doing,
1:59:48
Speaker 11: and that airplane goes down, you know, obviously fully fueled
1:59:51
Speaker 11: that and anything that's on there is going to lead
1:59:53
Speaker 11: to just an absolute obliteration of a lot of that aircraft,
1:59:58
Speaker 11: and that, sadly is what took. And of course we
2:00:01
Speaker 11: found out that they had eight people on board, two
2:00:03
Speaker 11: Boeing employees as well, and it was a training mission
2:00:07
Speaker 11: that they were on. And you know, the commercial investigations
2:00:11
Speaker 11: are handled by the National Transportation Safety Board out of DC,
2:00:14
Speaker 11: but in military side, they'll be sending over the Air
2:00:17
Speaker 11: Force Investigative Team, that's their version of the NTSB that'll
2:00:21
Speaker 11: be doing the report. Where the National Transportation Safety Board
2:00:25
Speaker 11: is good at trying to convey every piece of the
2:00:27
Speaker 11: information regarding the emergency in the situation, the military is
2:00:33
Speaker 11: a lot more protective. We won't learn everything, but we
2:00:36
Speaker 11: will learn some of what happened. And obviously, you know,
2:00:40
Speaker 11: if you just anytime there's a problem with an aircraft,
2:00:43
Speaker 11: you just pray that the airplane is at altitude where
2:00:47
Speaker 11: the crew has the opportunity to work the problem. You
2:00:50
Speaker 11: can have the most experienced crew in the world, and
2:00:52
Speaker 11: if that airplane has just taken off and they encounter
2:00:55
Speaker 11: some sort of a catastrophic incident and they don't have
2:00:58
Speaker 11: the benefit of altitude to work problem, it can quickly
2:01:02
Speaker 11: get out of hand, and sadly, that's what happened here.
2:01:05
Speaker 11: They'll look at the maintenance records, they'll look at the training,
2:01:07
Speaker 11: they're going to look at all the typical things they
2:01:09
Speaker 11: look at to try to see if they can determine
2:01:12
Speaker 11: what happened. This aircraft had some version of a black
2:01:15
Speaker 11: box with it that apparently they've been able to locate,
2:01:18
Speaker 11: so maybe they can glean some information from that as well.
2:01:22
Speaker 11: But it'll be ten or so months before we get
2:01:24
Speaker 11: a final report. But just you know, you just feel
2:01:27
Speaker 11: for the families because not only is it a loss,
2:01:29
Speaker 11: but it's a public loss that you're going to see
2:01:32
Speaker 11: everywhere and it's going to be on YouTube forever and
2:01:36
Speaker 11: it Yeah, that just makes it even that much more worse.
2:01:39
Speaker 1: Well, and I imagine you don't know, but you did
2:01:41
Speaker 1: bring up the idea of maybe munitions on the plane.
2:01:44
Speaker 1: That's the first thing that jumped into my mind. And
2:01:46
Speaker 1: then it said, well, it's a test flight, and I thought, well,
2:01:49
Speaker 1: how likely is that they would put like a nuclear
2:01:51
Speaker 1: weapon on a plane that's being doing a test flight?
2:01:53
Speaker 1: But maybe you can address that because that was a
2:01:55
Speaker 1: concern for me.
2:01:56
Speaker 11: Well it is, but you know, we're told a lot
2:01:58
Speaker 11: of times that those those things are developed and designed
2:02:02
Speaker 11: and created that it's it would be difficult for them
2:02:05
Speaker 11: to go off apps into being triggered intentionally, But you're
2:02:09
Speaker 11: always worried about any sort of hazardous material or anything
2:02:12
Speaker 11: else that might be have been included in that aircraft
2:02:16
Speaker 11: that could be now exposed. So you know, uh, there
2:02:19
Speaker 11: wasn't a massive evacuation of the surrounding area, which immediately
2:02:22
Speaker 11: told me, okay, there's there's no concerns there. But you know,
2:02:26
Speaker 11: you just never know, and you always want to honor
2:02:29
Speaker 11: the lives of those that were lost by trying to
2:02:31
Speaker 11: determine what happened. And I suspect they're going to not
2:02:34
Speaker 11: rest until they know exactly what happened here, because one,
2:02:38
Speaker 11: you've got that aircraft, and if there's a problem where
2:02:41
Speaker 11: you had a part or piece of the aircraft that
2:02:43
Speaker 11: failed let's say prematurely, then we need to have that
2:02:46
Speaker 11: that piece of the aircraft identified, so that all the
2:02:48
Speaker 11: other airplanes that are in the fleet that are like
2:02:51
Speaker 11: that can also be inspected to make sure that whatever
2:02:55
Speaker 11: that critical component was doesn't fail.
2:02:57
Speaker 1: Again, let's pause, We'll bring Jay look back to talk
2:03:00
Speaker 1: about rats as well as something I'd never get on,
2:03:03
Speaker 1: the Sydney London NonStop fly. Hold on, We'll bring Jay
2:03:06
Speaker 1: Ratliff back for more topics.
2:03:07
Speaker 3: Don't coway fifty five krcz.
2:03:11
Speaker 2: He's sound like I'm fifty five krc in the U
2:03:13
Speaker 2: talk station.
2:03:15
Speaker 1: You've ever been in a cockpit before? I heard me?
2:03:17
Speaker 1: The ADAH expert Jay Rattliffe most definitely has. If you
2:03:20
Speaker 1: get the benefit of his presence every Thursday for a
2:03:23
Speaker 1: few segments. Jay, it's always great heaving you on. And
2:03:25
Speaker 1: let's jump over to this flight that I don't think
2:03:27
Speaker 1: i'd ever get on. I want a NonStop fly J
2:03:29
Speaker 1: if I got to get on a plane, you know,
2:03:31
Speaker 1: point A to point B. But then again, I'm usually
2:03:33
Speaker 1: in most cases, I hardly ever have flown internationally in
2:03:36
Speaker 1: my life, but the worst case scenario is going to
2:03:39
Speaker 1: be maybe a five hour flight. Domestically, I went to
2:03:42
Speaker 1: Hawaii and I think we had a layover for that one.
2:03:44
Speaker 1: Not that bad, but twenty two hours. I think i'd
2:03:47
Speaker 1: want a layover in that particular case.
2:03:49
Speaker 11: Jay, Well, you and Aquanas is celebrating this. It's like,
2:03:52
Speaker 11: you know, we're number one, they always ever. Yeah, you know,
2:03:56
Speaker 11: everybody's trying to get to have the longest flight. And
2:04:00
Speaker 11: we had a situation here where Aquanas announced this week
2:04:03
Speaker 11: that they are going to launch their Sydney to London service.
2:04:08
Speaker 11: It's not gonna be till October of next year, but
2:04:10
Speaker 11: believe me, they'll be talking about it tween now and then.
2:04:12
Speaker 11: It's gonna be a twenty two hour non stop flight.
2:04:16
Speaker 11: They're able to do this because they added a twenty
2:04:18
Speaker 11: thousand liters center fuel tank that's basically designed for that
2:04:24
Speaker 11: extended range. And it was kind of funny because in
2:04:27
Speaker 11: the press release they said, you know, we started this
2:04:29
Speaker 11: route nineteen forty seven. We had to stop seven times
2:04:33
Speaker 11: on the way there.
2:04:34
Speaker 1: It's like watching that Indiana Jones the Raiders at the
2:04:37
Speaker 1: Lost Ar. It's stopping at every little isle of along
2:04:40
Speaker 1: the wave to get on fueled.
2:04:42
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, Brian, you love it because they called it
2:04:44
Speaker 11: a kangaroo route for that very reason. Up and down
2:04:47
Speaker 11: up and down. But you go from that all those
2:04:50
Speaker 11: years ago to now the twenty two hour NonStop flight,
2:04:54
Speaker 11: and I mean the longest sherring I've been on, I
2:04:56
Speaker 11: think is probably thirteen hours out of Shanghai coming back
2:04:59
Speaker 11: to Detroit. And you know, we weren't we weren't stuck
2:05:04
Speaker 11: in the middle coach seat, which was good, but I
2:05:07
Speaker 11: just I mean twenty two hours. Now, look on Quantason coach,
2:05:10
Speaker 11: it's still better than you know, some some other carriers
2:05:13
Speaker 11: here in the United States has a very limited pitch
2:05:15
Speaker 11: or distance between rows. But look, I don't care what
2:05:17
Speaker 11: you want. Twenty two hours is just I mean, how
2:05:20
Speaker 11: much binge watching can you do?
2:05:23
Speaker 2: Well?
2:05:23
Speaker 1: I was just writing down how much Xanax and laurazepam
2:05:26
Speaker 1: can you get your doctor to prescribe you before you
2:05:28
Speaker 1: get on the damn flight?
2:05:30
Speaker 4: Oh lord?
2:05:31
Speaker 11: Yeah, but you know, the idea you can cover that
2:05:33
Speaker 11: distance and twenty two hours is really just a testament.
2:05:37
Speaker 11: It is to just how incredible the technology is that
2:05:41
Speaker 11: we have right now. And you know they're they're developing
2:05:44
Speaker 11: hypersonic supersonic type travel, so we could be looking at
2:05:48
Speaker 11: things that are going to be depending on if they
2:05:51
Speaker 11: can manufacture in a way that would be appealing to
2:05:53
Speaker 11: the being counters at the airlines. It's gonna be interesting
2:05:56
Speaker 11: because we had the Concord, But really the only reason
2:05:58
Speaker 11: it was around was because of the government subsidies, because
2:06:01
Speaker 11: it was an incredibly expensive aircraft to operate, and that's
2:06:05
Speaker 11: one of the reasons we never had a whole long
2:06:07
Speaker 11: line of manufacturers to build supersonic aircraft. It just wasn't
2:06:12
Speaker 11: a viable thing. But they're hoping that they can develop
2:06:15
Speaker 11: that kind of technology. So it's just amazing as you
2:06:18
Speaker 11: look at the history of aviation, the strides that had
2:06:21
Speaker 11: been made, and when we're talking about a twenty two
2:06:23
Speaker 11: hour flight, that's just unbelievable. And you know, there was
2:06:27
Speaker 11: a time when you wouldn't even consider going over the
2:06:30
Speaker 11: water unless you had three or four engines, and once
2:06:34
Speaker 11: we got to these super fuel efficient and very dependable aircraft,
2:06:39
Speaker 11: it was it was okay to go across the water
2:06:41
Speaker 11: with just two engines because you're always thinking, well, you know,
2:06:44
Speaker 11: I want to have a backup of something that fails,
2:06:46
Speaker 11: and you can fly in definitely on one engine. But
2:06:48
Speaker 11: they're so powerful now that, yeah, two engines across the
2:06:52
Speaker 11: ocean not a problem at all, well.
2:06:53
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought up a concord because when I
2:06:56
Speaker 1: was practicing in Chicago, one of the partners in the
2:06:58
Speaker 1: firm I was with, you know, the clients in London
2:06:59
Speaker 1: need him there as quick as possible. They said, take
2:07:02
Speaker 1: the concord. I think back in let's say ninety four.
2:07:05
Speaker 1: If I had to pick a number out of the
2:07:06
Speaker 1: air when this was it was five thousand dollars a ticket.
2:07:12
Speaker 1: I think he's and Neil Young was actually on the
2:07:14
Speaker 1: play that he flew over on but very small, very compact.
2:07:17
Speaker 1: But you mentioned the problems of the I guess avionics. Whatever. Listen,
2:07:19
Speaker 1: we have modern software, modern technology. Is there any hope
2:07:22
Speaker 1: that we're going to get some very very much faster
2:07:25
Speaker 1: planes that curry the currently carried commercial customers or domestic flyers,
2:07:30
Speaker 1: or you know, just the general population, that we could
2:07:33
Speaker 1: cut those hours down significantly.
2:07:36
Speaker 11: Well, there's a company who's I just love to say
2:07:38
Speaker 11: their name because it's super cool, but Boom Supersonic. They
2:07:42
Speaker 11: are developing supersonic hypersonic aircraft. And you have airlines like Delta,
2:07:47
Speaker 11: United and American and others that are investing in that technology.
2:07:52
Speaker 11: So they're a part of the ongoing product development. So
2:07:56
Speaker 11: the thought is it could be a viable situation, just
2:07:59
Speaker 11: like airlines are looking it, you know, electric vehicles, if
2:08:01
Speaker 11: there's ever going to be a market for that, it's
2:08:05
Speaker 11: a great idea. But the problem is if it can't
2:08:07
Speaker 11: be done where the airlines can make money, I don't
2:08:09
Speaker 11: care how great it is, how cool it is, how
2:08:11
Speaker 11: fast it is, They're not going to do it. But
2:08:14
Speaker 11: we're making strides in that area. And when you look
2:08:16
Speaker 11: at just the last ten years, it's incredible. And the
2:08:20
Speaker 11: further we go, the faster this knowledge is compiled with
2:08:23
Speaker 11: all of the artificial intelligence and all the different systems.
2:08:26
Speaker 4: That we have.
2:08:27
Speaker 11: So we're getting I to use the term smarter, because
2:08:31
Speaker 11: a lot of times I don't think we're We're getting
2:08:33
Speaker 11: smarter faster, and that only adds to the research and
2:08:36
Speaker 11: development of these incredible aircraft engines. And it's going to
2:08:41
Speaker 11: be fascinating over the next decade to see where things go.
2:08:43
Speaker 1: We'll say the two more comical stories for the next segment,
2:08:46
Speaker 1: along with hubble As. But what's with the West Palm
2:08:48
Speaker 1: Airport changing its name in the moments we have here
2:08:50
Speaker 1: in this segment?
2:08:50
Speaker 11: Check it's now the Donald J. Trump International Airport. Now
2:08:55
Speaker 11: what was interesting here was, oh, they had tons of
2:08:58
Speaker 11: lawsuits leading up to this from people that are not
2:09:01
Speaker 11: necessarily the biggest Donald Trump fan. But the interesting thing
2:09:05
Speaker 11: here was West Palm's airport code PBI has been that
2:09:07
Speaker 11: way forever. They changed the code from that to DJT
2:09:14
Speaker 11: to match the president's initials. Now I had to go
2:09:17
Speaker 11: back to like when they renamed the Kennedy Airports JFK,
2:09:21
Speaker 11: they changed that three letter code. But look, we have
2:09:25
Speaker 11: airports being named Vegas and all these different airports across
2:09:28
Speaker 11: the country where they changed the name to reflect many
2:09:32
Speaker 11: times a political person, but it doesn't change the three
2:09:36
Speaker 11: letter code. In this case, they did, and the FA said, yeah,
2:09:40
Speaker 11: that's what we were doing. And the lawsuits were pretty
2:09:42
Speaker 11: much dismissed from people that said it was going to
2:09:45
Speaker 11: cause too much confusion and too much problems and safety issues.
2:09:48
Speaker 11: Plane is going to fall out of the sky, blah
2:09:50
Speaker 11: blah blah. And obviously none of that stuff happened. But
2:09:54
Speaker 11: I wonder how many people will refuse to fly out
2:09:56
Speaker 11: of there.
2:09:57
Speaker 1: I go somewhere else. I'm waiting for that.
2:10:01
Speaker 11: I'll drive.
2:10:04
Speaker 1: Evil Orange man. I'm not flying an air for it.
2:10:06
Speaker 1: In West far All right, Well we got a couple
2:10:08
Speaker 1: of funny ones including rats and comedic air traffic controllers.
2:10:11
Speaker 1: More with Jay ratlif Nolkowa.
2:10:13
Speaker 3: Fifty five KRC The FIFA World.
2:10:16
Speaker 1: Cup is the talk station Hey forty nine to fifty
2:10:20
Speaker 1: one KRCD talk station Happy Friday e Brian Thomas with
2:10:23
Speaker 1: Diheart media aviation expert Jay Ratliffe wrapping out another very
2:10:27
Speaker 1: interesting aviation discussion with Jay, and let us pivot over
2:10:30
Speaker 1: to rats. Jay Ratliffe lived in Chicago for eight years
2:10:33
Speaker 1: and you'd occasionally see some rats down on the track
2:10:36
Speaker 1: and the tracks area, but you never saw them on
2:10:37
Speaker 1: the train itself, even though the proximity for a rat
2:10:40
Speaker 1: to get from the tracks with loading area into the
2:10:42
Speaker 1: train pretty close not a difficult challenge. How in the
2:10:45
Speaker 1: hell does a rat get aboard a jet Blue flight?
2:10:49
Speaker 11: Well, it happens. Well, you know, and a lot of
2:10:53
Speaker 11: times when you've got aircraft that are in maintenance hangers
2:10:56
Speaker 11: that are being worked on, you have all the doors
2:10:58
Speaker 11: open for ventilation, and you have exposed panels and things
2:11:02
Speaker 11: of this nature. As an aircraft may be worked on
2:11:04
Speaker 11: for a period of days. A lot of times, you know,
2:11:07
Speaker 11: I have somebody with that aircraft twenty four to seven.
2:11:09
Speaker 11: So you know, you shut the hangar and everything like that,
2:11:11
Speaker 11: but it may not prevent a nice little rodent from
2:11:15
Speaker 11: making its way in and getting into the aircraft. I mean,
2:11:18
Speaker 11: we had I think it was an American Airlines flight
2:11:21
Speaker 11: right it was leaving Hawaii, and the crew heard a
2:11:24
Speaker 11: scratching in the overhead an apartment above them, and they thought,
2:11:30
Speaker 11: we got something up there. It might chew through wires.
2:11:33
Speaker 11: Let's land this airplane. So they turned right back around
2:11:37
Speaker 11: as fast as they could landed, and they had a
2:11:39
Speaker 11: squirrel that was up there. So apparently that panel was
2:11:42
Speaker 11: off for a while, somebody put it back on and
2:11:45
Speaker 11: not knowing something was up there, and it wasn't until
2:11:47
Speaker 11: the plane was airborne that they had heard that. Now,
2:11:50
Speaker 11: in this case, you had a Jet Blue flight that
2:11:53
Speaker 11: was flying and passengers looked up at the light and
2:11:56
Speaker 11: they noticed over the light the image this shadowy amidst
2:12:01
Speaker 11: of a rat that was walking. Now imagine if you're
2:12:04
Speaker 11: somebody on that flight with let's say just two phobias
2:12:06
Speaker 11: in your life, Flying and rats not a good thing.
2:12:12
Speaker 11: So obviously the passengers quickly noticed it, notified the flight attendant,
2:12:18
Speaker 11: and Brian the curious thing here on this Jet Blue flight,
2:12:20
Speaker 11: and Jet Blue came back later apologizing like crazy, they
2:12:24
Speaker 11: did not divert the flight in land. They continued onto
2:12:28
Speaker 11: their destination. And that really surprises me, because when you've
2:12:33
Speaker 11: got anything, I mean, let's say, you know, my first thought,
2:12:37
Speaker 11: I was, okay, there may be more than one up there. Yeah,
2:12:39
Speaker 11: and what are they chewing on and through? And could
2:12:42
Speaker 11: that affect the pilot's ability to maintain control of this aircraft.
2:12:46
Speaker 11: I was very, very surprised. And I don't know if
2:12:49
Speaker 11: we'll hear anything post incident on this or not, but
2:12:53
Speaker 11: I would have to think that from the FAA standpoint
2:12:56
Speaker 11: that there would have to be some sort of mention
2:13:00
Speaker 11: on you know, this aircraft should have been put on
2:13:03
Speaker 11: the ground immediately because you simply don't know, and when
2:13:06
Speaker 11: it comes to unknowns, you don't. Safety is supposed to
2:13:10
Speaker 11: come first, so I don't get this. But they continued
2:13:13
Speaker 11: on at lanted. Everybody was okay, and look, we've had
2:13:16
Speaker 11: times when you people have seen a snake in the
2:13:19
Speaker 11: over over the light or a scorpion or something along
2:13:23
Speaker 11: those lines. So we frequently will get you know, critters
2:13:27
Speaker 11: on here and probably the interesting thing is given the
2:13:30
Speaker 11: number of flights we have in the course of a day,
2:13:32
Speaker 11: that it doesn't happen more often.
2:13:34
Speaker 1: I suppose. So I just hope they did a thorough
2:13:36
Speaker 1: disinfecting job of whatever area that rat had to access.
2:13:40
Speaker 11: To feel for everybody on there that heads Uh, let's
2:13:43
Speaker 11: say that don't care for rats.
2:13:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they don't bother me at all. I'm
2:13:48
Speaker 1: not a freaked out by them. But if I looked
2:13:49
Speaker 1: up and saw one crawling around to the you know,
2:13:52
Speaker 1: the sort of the opaque light area anyway, that's disturbing.
2:13:56
Speaker 11: I imagine the six year old, but that's traveling behind
2:13:59
Speaker 11: somebody that he can see that she's really worked up,
2:14:02
Speaker 11: and then all he starts to do start playing with
2:14:03
Speaker 11: her hair like somes crawling through it. I mean she'll
2:14:05
Speaker 11: scream and have art attack.
2:14:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go to Phoenix and the comedic air traffic controller.
2:14:12
Speaker 1: If I got them, I understanding correct on where this
2:14:14
Speaker 1: is going from the little few snippets of information I've
2:14:18
Speaker 1: got Jay.
2:14:19
Speaker 11: Yeah, airplanes coming in for landing, air traffic controls talking
2:14:22
Speaker 11: with the captain, and the air traffic controller says, hey,
2:14:24
Speaker 11: you guys came from this city such and such, and
2:14:27
Speaker 11: they said yes. Remember they're on their way on final
2:14:29
Speaker 11: approach into Phoenix. So the air traffic controller says, okay,
2:14:32
Speaker 11: that's that's good. You're cleared for landing. But would you
2:14:34
Speaker 11: prefer to go to Anchorage instead? And the captain laughed
2:14:38
Speaker 11: and said why, and he said, well, my mother in
2:14:40
Speaker 11: law's on that flight, but if you don't want to
2:14:42
Speaker 11: come to Phoenix, you can go to and they're like, no,
2:14:45
Speaker 11: not today. But it was nice because there was just
2:14:48
Speaker 11: a little work time funny and it was it was
2:14:52
Speaker 11: just it was fun to listen to. It's nice hearing
2:14:54
Speaker 11: people at work having a good time. And I have
2:14:56
Speaker 11: some people saying, now, look, Jay, that's a critical moment
2:14:58
Speaker 11: of flight under ten thousand feet. Shouldn't be doing Yeah
2:15:00
Speaker 11: blah blah blah. Who cares. They were having fun, But
2:15:03
Speaker 11: it was fun to listen to as someone who routinely
2:15:07
Speaker 11: makes fun because I love her so much, my mother
2:15:09
Speaker 11: in law. Yeah, I really like that because that was
2:15:13
Speaker 11: I'd had the same fun.
2:15:14
Speaker 1: Well, you get along with her, she'd appreciate the humor
2:15:17
Speaker 1: and what you said, wouldn't take it personally like so
2:15:19
Speaker 1: many people do. Geez.
2:15:20
Speaker 11: Anyway, the first time I met her ask her what
2:15:22
Speaker 11: her favorite movie was. She told me, and I didn't care.
2:15:25
Speaker 11: I wanted her to ask me, and I said, my
2:15:27
Speaker 11: favorite movie, Throw Mama from the train.
2:15:30
Speaker 4: She laughed.
2:15:31
Speaker 11: So I knew we were going to be okay. And
2:15:33
Speaker 11: from that day forward, in my cell phone when she
2:15:35
Speaker 11: calls us his train, I'll send her Thomas the train cards.
2:15:38
Speaker 1: And yeah, that's great.
2:15:40
Speaker 11: Hey, I love her very very much, but we will
2:15:42
Speaker 11: have fun. Believe me.
2:15:44
Speaker 1: Good. That's the way it should be. And finally, as
2:15:46
Speaker 1: we typically end hub delays, how's it looking for flight
2:15:48
Speaker 1: out there? Since the weather's at least through this area,
2:15:50
Speaker 1: although it continues eastward.
2:15:52
Speaker 11: Jay, Well, finally got out of Houston. We've had nothing
2:15:55
Speaker 11: but rain and Houston for days. That's good, but we're
2:15:59
Speaker 11: having that weather headed forward to Atlanta and Charlotte. And then,
2:16:01
Speaker 11: of course what we were dealing with is in the northeast.
2:16:04
Speaker 11: Boston's getting hit right now, Philadelphia soon to be New
2:16:07
Speaker 11: York and Washington, d C. Philadelphia. So yeah, if you're
2:16:10
Speaker 11: headed towards the northeast or through Atlanta or Charlotte, some
2:16:14
Speaker 11: issues going through Chicago out west, you're gonna be in
2:16:16
Speaker 11: good shape. The others, Yeah, pack some patients.
2:16:18
Speaker 1: It's going to be a slogo, thanks for your time
2:16:20
Speaker 1: every week day. I really enjoy it. I'll look forward
2:16:22
Speaker 1: to next Thursday and doing it again. Between now and then,
2:16:24
Speaker 1: best
