- 0:49Speaker 1: and fifty years of imperfection. Indeed interesting op ed piece
- 0:54Speaker 1: from William Galston this morning. American moods sours, it's creed endures.
- 0:58Speaker 1: He tried to interject a little bit of optimism at
- 1:01Speaker 1: the tail end of otherwise a rather gloomy outlook in
- 1:04Speaker 1: terms of where we are in the United States, a
- 1:05Speaker 1: gloomy outlook which is backed by yesterday with the Mom
- 1:09Speaker 1: Dommi back socialists went in across the board in New
- 1:12Speaker 1: York's in the various primary races, all the commies that
- 1:15Speaker 1: Mom DAMMI is back prevailed. Those are Democratic primary It's
- 1:19Speaker 1: not like they got captured the office. But when you
- 1:21Speaker 1: look at where these individuals were elected, some districts have
- 1:26Speaker 1: never been run by a Republican. You know, the Commies
- 1:29Speaker 1: are going to be elected into office this fall. I
- 1:32Speaker 1: get there a couple of words on that in a
- 1:33Speaker 1: minute here, just so maybe Jack will interject some optimism
- 1:38Speaker 1: in his conversation with us. At seven oh five, Donovan
- 1:40Speaker 1: and Neil Americans for Prosperity. Hey, how did the America
- 1:43Speaker 1: two to fifty event go in Columbus the other day?
- 1:45Speaker 1: He's going to give us a now recap of the
- 1:47Speaker 1: one Small Step campaign and how that event went, and
- 1:51Speaker 1: what we can do to get involved. AFP making it
- 1:53Speaker 1: so easy to get involved, do some door knocking and
- 1:55Speaker 1: they'll walk you through the process and make you comfortable
- 1:58Speaker 1: doing that. Fast far to eight oh five the return
- 2:01Speaker 1: of Fraternal Order Police President Ken Cober. Not as if
- 2:05Speaker 1: Ken has everything to talk about. We'll see if he
- 2:11Speaker 1: has any solutions for the juvenile crime problem, among others.
- 2:15Speaker 1: A couple updates from signal ninety nine and my stack
- 2:18Speaker 1: of stuff here this morning as well, I mean drop
- 2:20Speaker 1: those by Ken Cobrat eight oh five. Judge jedenor Politano
- 2:26Speaker 1: starting off with Wickered versus Philburn, the sorry war and
- 2:31Speaker 1: constitutional indifference. So he traces us through the erosion of
- 2:36Speaker 1: our personal liberties and freedoms Wickered versus Philburn. Yeah, that's
- 2:39Speaker 1: why you can't grow wheat on your own property for
- 2:42Speaker 1: your own consumption. The federal government can come in and
- 2:44Speaker 1: dictate and control how much you grow because well, overall
- 2:48Speaker 1: it affects the collective supply of wheat. That was the
- 2:52Speaker 1: decision from the late nineteen thirties under the FDR administration,
- 2:55Speaker 1: which really allowed the federal government to regulate literally everything.
- 3:00Speaker 1: One of the points that Judge makes in his op
- 3:02Speaker 1: ed piece, and we'll get to this because he pivots
- 3:04Speaker 1: then over to the erosion of the congressional control over war,
- 3:11Speaker 1: which is interesting because the Senate just back to a new
- 3:14Speaker 1: war Powers resolution under the War Powers Resolution of nineteen
- 3:17Speaker 1: seventy three, which many think are is unconstitutional, including the
- 3:20Speaker 1: Judge and me. Anyway, pointed out that he was sitting
- 3:22Speaker 1: in the study with his Fox News folks and just
- 3:24Speaker 1: asked everybody in the room, basically, is there anything in
- 3:27Speaker 1: this room anything you can see that isn't regulated by
- 3:32Speaker 1: the federal government. The of course, the answer is no,
- 3:34Speaker 1: and that's where it starts. The regulatory state grew immensely
- 3:38Speaker 1: in the wake of Wicked versus Philburn and as well
- 3:41Speaker 1: it's beginning beginning with I guess seventeen ninety eight President
- 3:48Speaker 1: John Adams and the Alien and Sedition Act. So the
- 3:51Speaker 1: erosion of your rights and liberties and the well deletion
- 3:55Speaker 1: of congressional action in connection with war raging has been
- 3:58Speaker 1: going on since almost the founding of our country just
- 4:00Speaker 1: keeps getting broader and broader every single day. Five three, seven, four,
- 4:05Speaker 1: nine fifty, five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three
- 4:07Speaker 1: talk pound five point fifty on AT and T phones. Yeah,
- 4:10Speaker 1: the mom Dommi back campaign commis, It's gonna call them
- 4:14Speaker 1: what they are, the ones that Zorhan mam Dami from
- 4:19Speaker 1: New York indors are the ones that won the race
- 4:24Speaker 1: former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander Alsted incumbent Representative
- 4:27Speaker 1: Dan Goldman. That race centered on Israel, the war in Gaza.
- 4:32Speaker 1: See the anti Semites. I will call them that members
- 4:36Speaker 1: of the Socialist Party, Democrat, Socialist Party, if you want
- 4:39Speaker 1: to sort of gloss over the reality that they're really
- 4:42Speaker 1: literally socialists and will not and cannot absolutely swear to
- 4:47Speaker 1: uphold the Constitution in the United States of America given
- 4:49Speaker 1: that their platform it basically eviscerates the Constitution. Wants to
- 4:53Speaker 1: start all over ben arguing about this for years. They
- 4:56Speaker 1: don't want the United States to succeed. They wanted to
- 4:58Speaker 1: well undermined the Constitution, overruled or defeated in some way,
- 5:03Speaker 1: shape or form, and like phoenix rising from the ashes,
- 5:07Speaker 1: the communists and socialists will all rise up and save us.
- 5:10Speaker 1: All right, you believe that I've got a bridge or
- 5:13Speaker 1: four I want to sell you anyway. Some mandy women
- 5:16Speaker 1: Claire Valdi's community organizer, dari Al Lisa al Via Chevalier,
- 5:23Speaker 1: all members of the Democratic Socialist Party of America defeated
- 5:26Speaker 1: otherwise sane er, although very left Democratic candidates endorsed by
- 5:30Speaker 1: the establishment leaders. Guess what's going on? This is like
- 5:33Speaker 1: within the Republican Party. You got your MAGA winning of
- 5:35Speaker 1: a Republican Party in which I don't really fundamentally know
- 5:38Speaker 1: what that stands for except for agreeing with everything Donald
- 5:40Speaker 1: Trump says. And then you have you know, your traditionalists
- 5:43Speaker 1: more like me fiscal responsibility, limited government, free markets, which
- 5:47Speaker 1: is more why I'm a little libertarian than a Republican,
- 5:49Speaker 1: because I really am kind of curious to know what
- 5:51Speaker 1: the Republicans stand for these days. What is the platform?
- 5:55Speaker 1: Same thing going to the Democratic Party. You got sane Democrats,
- 5:58Speaker 1: you know, the old school traditional Democrats, and he got
- 6:00Speaker 1: the Communists, which are making substantial inroads. So let's take
- 6:04Speaker 1: a look at one of them, right, mom, Damie back
- 6:08Speaker 1: campaign Daria Aliza Alvi Aliya Chevalier. Okay, she's thirty two
- 6:15Speaker 1: community organizer. She studied the Columbia University, where, according to
- 6:20Speaker 1: Fox News reporting, she was known for leftist agitation as
- 6:23Speaker 1: well as her membership in the group Columbia University Apartheid Divest.
- 6:30Speaker 1: That group at one point posted death to America on
- 6:34Speaker 1: its social media. So in addition to being anti Israel,
- 6:38Speaker 1: she's apparently anti American as well. And she defeated Representative
- 6:42Speaker 1: Andrew adriano Esplot Chevalier, who actually ran a campaign farther
- 6:50Speaker 1: left than even the most progressive people like all the
- 6:54Speaker 1: site Kamala Harris, although I don't even think Kamala Harrison
- 6:56Speaker 1: knows what day it is, but you know, you got
- 6:58Speaker 1: the likes of Bernie Sanders other really far left members
- 7:01Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party. I guess she is further left
- 7:04Speaker 1: than all of them, hmm. She has previously made posts
- 7:08Speaker 1: about abolishing private property, abolishing police, getting rid of the borders,
- 7:13Speaker 1: and having a wide open border where everyone can come
- 7:17Speaker 1: and sit at the table of America's exceptionalism, nationalizing large
- 7:21Speaker 1: swaths of the private sector, in other words, doing what
- 7:24Speaker 1: socialists and communists do, taking over the means of production
- 7:28Speaker 1: because we all know the government can run it better
- 7:30Speaker 1: than private individuals, right old, right, tongue out of my
- 7:35Speaker 1: cheek now, And a lot of these came up in
- 7:39Speaker 1: of course now deleted posts which she put up between
- 7:44Speaker 1: twenty eighteen and twenty twenty two. I mean, let's face it,
- 7:46Speaker 1: how much of a social media presence can she have
- 7:48Speaker 1: being thirty two years old anyway, Chevalia said in twenty
- 7:54Speaker 1: twenty one that abolishing borders, prisons, and police is quote possible, necessary,
- 7:59Speaker 1: and the only more way forward not taking them to account. Date,
- 8:03Speaker 1: Abolishing the police and getting rid of prisons results in
- 8:06Speaker 1: massive criminal activity, as we can witness here in the
- 8:08Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati. Of course, we haven't gotten rid of
- 8:10Speaker 1: the police yet, but that whole defund the police. Anti
- 8:14Speaker 1: police sentiments taken hold in Cincinnati politics and of course
- 8:17Speaker 1: Hamilton County politics. We have woke, liberal left wing judges
- 8:22Speaker 1: and prosecutors who refuse to take cases the trial or
- 8:25Speaker 1: otherwise issue lenient sentences. And we have a juvenile crime
- 8:29Speaker 1: system that's running up because we don't do anything with
- 8:31Speaker 1: juvenile criminals. See now, what you need to do is
- 8:34Speaker 1: expand on that.
- 8:37Speaker 3: Right.
- 8:38Speaker 1: We need less policing, we need no prisons, and I'm
- 8:43Speaker 1: sure that'll work out to Everdy's advantage. Also, in one post,
- 8:49Speaker 1: this commie, miss Jevalier, this country is an f wording disgrace.
- 8:58Speaker 1: That's in quotes. I forgot to get napkins, so I
- 9:04Speaker 1: just wipe my hand on the American flag behind me.
- 9:08Speaker 1: Another post reportedly called and she had a go at
- 9:12Speaker 1: Joe Biden, calling him a rapist, also called him a
- 9:15Speaker 1: war criminal, and she had to go at Senator Bernie Sanders.
- 9:19Speaker 1: You think that she would be, you know, like embracing
- 9:21Speaker 1: that guy, considering they're on the same wing of the
- 9:23Speaker 1: political party, although she's more so. Bernie Sanders chastised for
- 9:27Speaker 1: his liberal Zionism and also had to go at Kamala
- 9:32Speaker 1: Harris saying f word, Kamala Harris, that's an out of
- 9:35Speaker 1: context statement. I don't know why she said that, but
- 9:37Speaker 1: she did so rather controversial, but she had mom Dommy's backing. Hum,
- 9:48Speaker 1: what about Dammy had to say? Despite all this controversy
- 9:50Speaker 1: swirling around this nut job, he's stuck by his endorsement
- 9:54Speaker 1: of her. When it comes to dari Alisa's campaign, I
- 9:57Speaker 1: had not seen those tweets, And what I I heard
- 10:00Speaker 1: from her, and what I know a lot of others
- 10:02Speaker 1: in the district have heard from her, is that her
- 10:05Speaker 1: views have evolved and that the campaign she's running on
- 10:09Speaker 1: is reflective of what she's going to be fighting for.
- 10:13Speaker 1: How's that for a bunch of words? And frankly, he
- 10:16Speaker 1: went on to say, when I see a candidate who
- 10:18Speaker 1: is a record like she does, for of freeing New
- 10:22Speaker 1: Yorkers who are unjustly detained by ice, of standing up
- 10:28Speaker 1: for the working person who has often been left out
- 10:31Speaker 1: of our politics, especially in the district that has so
- 10:35Speaker 1: many of the same themes that we're speaking of today.
- 10:38Speaker 1: A fear of displacement, a fear of being pushed out
- 10:44Speaker 1: of a place you helped to build. I think that
- 10:47Speaker 1: she would be an incredible champion for that district and
- 10:49Speaker 1: for the city as a whole. Well, thank you for
- 10:52Speaker 1: the insight there, Zorhan. She's not the person she used
- 10:56Speaker 1: to be about five seconds ago. In time, she's new,
- 10:59Speaker 1: she's improved, and she's gonna help people deal with fear. Huh.
- 11:04Speaker 1: Question is the fear misplaced or is it legitimate? I'm
- 11:10Speaker 1: gonna go with the prior. Politicians have nothing to do
- 11:13Speaker 1: better than just to get you afraid of literally everything
- 11:15Speaker 1: you need to be afraid. Oh my god, the world's
- 11:17Speaker 1: against you. It sucks. That's why we're here. We're gonna
- 11:20Speaker 1: be the ones that save you. We're gonna feed you,
- 11:22Speaker 1: we're gonna clothe you, we're gonna house you. We're gonna
- 11:24Speaker 1: take the money from the evil, wealthy business people in
- 11:27Speaker 1: the world and give it to you. Yeah, and you
- 11:34Speaker 1: know what, you can sell that. It's obviously working. You
- 11:38Speaker 1: can sell that, especially in trying times we live in
- 11:41Speaker 1: right now. Yeah. The economy, I said, many sectors is
- 11:44Speaker 1: doing quite fine, but inflation is having a huge tole.
- 11:46Speaker 1: The housing situation is certainly a problem for a lot
- 11:48Speaker 1: of people. This whole concept of the American dream disappearing
- 11:52Speaker 1: from young people. Well, what in the hell is the
- 11:54Speaker 1: American dream anyway? What does it mean? I think that
- 12:00Speaker 1: rather subjective determination, isn't it? But you know what, if
- 12:02Speaker 1: you live in a free country and you have the
- 12:05Speaker 1: freedom to pursue whatever interest that you want to pursue
- 12:09Speaker 1: and make bad choices as well as good, I think
- 12:13Speaker 1: the American dream is really literally one about exercising the
- 12:16Speaker 1: appropriate level of choice we have in this country. What
- 12:19Speaker 1: are the few countries that has it. Freedom doesn't guarantee
- 12:25Speaker 1: you anything, but it doesn't prohibit you from anything. Recognize
- 12:28Speaker 1: the American dream is just the dream, the potential, the
- 12:32Speaker 1: opportunity to get where you want to go. Will you
- 12:36Speaker 1: get there? It depends on where your goals are, doesn't
- 12:39Speaker 1: It depends on how hard you work, doesn't it? That's right?
- 12:41Speaker 1: It depends on merit, and you're in a competitive world.
- 12:49Speaker 1: But if you are told over and over and over
- 12:52Speaker 1: again by your elected officials that the American dream is gone,
- 12:54Speaker 1: you don't have it. The American dream is owning a house?
- 12:57Speaker 1: Is it really really? Fear? Fear make you do stupid
- 13:07Speaker 1: things like voting for Dara Eliza Alvilla Chevalier. Oh and
- 13:12Speaker 1: the fun point, the exclamation point on all this is
- 13:15Speaker 1: this batcrap lunatic is in a district, has won in
- 13:19Speaker 1: a district at least the primary that has never been
- 13:21Speaker 1: represented by a Republican thus guarantee you, guaranteeing you New
- 13:26Speaker 1: Yorkers at least that you got a commune office. That's
- 13:30Speaker 1: what you voted for. Elections have consequences just where people
- 13:33Speaker 1: weren't so damn stupid. Five nineteen thirty five KRCIT Talk
- 13:38Speaker 1: Station five one three seven, four nine fifty five eight
- 13:40Speaker 1: eight two three Talk Pound five fifty on AT and
- 13:42Speaker 1: T funds be back after the East brief worts.
- 13:45Speaker 4: Fifty five KRC dot com our iHeartRadio.
- 13:48Speaker 1: Music, not asking for much?
- 13:51Speaker 4: All right?
- 13:51Speaker 1: You want to see about another leftist city in decline,
- 13:54Speaker 1: kind of extrapolating or expanding on the crap that's going
- 13:57Speaker 1: on in New York City with mum Dami New York
- 14:01Speaker 1: or a rather Chicago, Illinois. According to the mayor, they
- 14:03Speaker 1: are Brandon Johnson, who declared a trans femicide state of emergency.
- 14:10Speaker 1: Is that a made up word? Transfemicide, the definition of
- 14:15Speaker 1: which is targeted killing of a transgender woman motivated by
- 14:19Speaker 1: a transphobic and misogynistic hatred. That's the quote from the
- 14:23Speaker 1: New York Post anyway where I got this information. Anyway,
- 14:26Speaker 1: he was on his ex account. He said, since declaring
- 14:29Speaker 1: a transfeminide state of emergency, our administration has strengthened the
- 14:33Speaker 1: city's capacity to support LGBTQ plus chicagoans. Whatever. That entire
- 14:41Speaker 1: litany of letters, only one relates to transgenderism. Do I
- 14:45Speaker 1: have to go through another explanation of one's sexuality and
- 14:48Speaker 1: sexual preference as compared to one's gender identity. There's a
- 14:51Speaker 1: huge difference. Anyway, Apparently they implemented the state of emergency,
- 14:55Speaker 1: this transfeminide's femicide rather state of emergency in twenty twenty four,
- 15:03Speaker 1: and of course it was necessary because of the massive
- 15:06Speaker 1: slaughter of transgenders that have been going on. No, that's
- 15:09Speaker 1: actually not true. Apparently one single person identifying as trans
- 15:13Speaker 1: was killed in all of calendar year twenty twenty five,
- 15:16Speaker 1: which incident happened to be a matter of domestic violence.
- 15:19Speaker 1: Had nothing to do with a misogynistic, transphobic individual gunning
- 15:23Speaker 1: someone down because they are transgender. Period, end of story
- 15:27Speaker 1: on that one, right. The Post then pivots over to
- 15:31Speaker 1: talking about states or cities in decline. American cities are sinking.
- 15:35Speaker 1: Few embody this decline more than Chicago. Just take in
- 15:38Speaker 1: last week. You may have gotten the word on this one.
- 15:40Speaker 1: Thirty nine people were shot in Chicago area and six
- 15:47Speaker 1: were killed, and they put none of them are transgender.
- 15:50Speaker 1: But that isn't a state of emergency in Chicago. No,
- 15:54Speaker 1: that's your everyday run of the middle weekend in Chicago.
- 15:56Speaker 1: I used to live there. It was a lot worse
- 15:58Speaker 1: when we lived there. My wife and I God got
- 16:02Speaker 1: out in ninety eight. Anyway, four hundred and sixteen murders
- 16:06Speaker 1: last year, the lowest homicide rate in sixty years. Cheers.
- 16:09Speaker 1: That's four hundred and fifteen of which who were not transgender.
- 16:14Speaker 1: So well, your quality of life deteriorates. My Chicago friends
- 16:19Speaker 1: up there, and businesses are leaving a lot of them.
- 16:22Speaker 1: Citadel pulled out, taking tens of billions of dollars in revenue.
- 16:27Speaker 1: The Bears are getting ready to leave too. But there's
- 16:33Speaker 1: your crazy commie leaning mayor, of course, addressing the massive
- 16:38Speaker 1: problem of the murder of transgender people again by misogynistic,
- 16:44Speaker 1: transphobic individuals. Otherwise, you don't fall into the definition of
- 16:48Speaker 1: trans femicide. Hmm. Okay, then I feel like we walked
- 16:52Speaker 1: into the stack of stupid already. Feel free to call

- 17:37Speaker 1: and what that might mean for the future. Let us
- 17:39Speaker 1: go over to the phones. A couple of callers online here.
- 17:41Speaker 1: Let's start with Tom hand hold on a minute. Tom,
- 17:44Speaker 1: welcome back, my friend.
- 17:46Speaker 5: Hey, good morning, how you doing.
- 17:48Speaker 1: I'm doing all right? Little disappointed with New York. But
- 17:50Speaker 1: you can see the riding on the wall of that place.
- 17:52Speaker 5: That's oh yeah.
- 17:54Speaker 1: Last one out, pull the flag.
- 17:58Speaker 5: Hurt pretty much. Yeah, that's that's uh, you said it right,
- 18:03Speaker 5: that's politicians are pretty good at just trying to get
- 18:05Speaker 5: people afraid of that and then tell them who to blame. Yep,
- 18:09Speaker 5: you know they're always pointing across the aisle for the
- 18:12Speaker 5: other people.
- 18:13Speaker 1: What was the whole global warming scare about getting you
- 18:16Speaker 1: all genned up and afraid we're gonna die. I'll mull
- 18:18Speaker 1: we'rero gonna die. We need to do stupid, stupid things.
- 18:21Speaker 1: That's still going on. You have secretary generals asking for
- 18:24Speaker 1: one point three trillion dollars to rebuild or build for
- 18:28Speaker 1: the first time Africa or something. I might get to
- 18:30Speaker 1: that later, but yeah, it's crazy. It's just it's crazy.
- 18:33Speaker 5: So you're you're saying this stuff may have something to
- 18:36Speaker 5: do with trying to get more money, well, more of
- 18:39Speaker 5: your money and more control of your life.
- 18:42Speaker 1: Is that I am saying that equivocally to global wave distribution?
- 18:48Speaker 5: So anybody with half a brain cell could have seen
- 18:51Speaker 5: this coming, right, you should figure this out, right, Yeah,
- 18:55Speaker 5: that's all it's about. We want, We want as much
- 18:58Speaker 5: of your money as we can get. Not they're not
- 19:01Speaker 5: willing to reckon or I personally believe the people who
- 19:05Speaker 5: are really at the top of all this and pulling
- 19:08Speaker 5: the strings that they know they're going to crumble the
- 19:12Speaker 5: whole system because you start taking exactly that's the point,
- 19:16Speaker 5: you start taking too much of people's money, and people
- 19:20Speaker 5: are going to run out of incentive to do anything.
- 19:22Speaker 5: That's exactly what happened now is going to be a
- 19:24Speaker 5: lot less money wealth to steal.
- 19:27Speaker 1: That's the dumb thing about socialism. People embrace it, don't
- 19:30Speaker 1: appreciate that reality, which has been proven over and over
- 19:33Speaker 1: and over again. How in the hell is it the
- 19:35Speaker 1: Soviet Union isn't around anymore? Huh? I wonder you know,
- 19:40Speaker 1: how in the hell is it that all these socialist countries
- 19:42Speaker 1: who have actual elections have voted moving more conservative and
- 19:46Speaker 1: kind of more you know, freedom and less government control.
- 19:50Speaker 1: All these South American nations have just recently voted that way.
- 19:54Speaker 1: They've experienced the life under communists or rather socialism, and
- 19:58Speaker 1: it sucks.
- 20:00Speaker 5: Yes, Uh, you know, I I kind of see a
- 20:02Speaker 5: little bit of it at work every day. Uh. My
- 20:07Speaker 5: company I work for is literally the only contractor in
- 20:11Speaker 5: this building that is under a hard bid. We actually
- 20:14Speaker 5: they actually bid the job. We're going to do this
- 20:16Speaker 5: work for this amount of money. So therefore it's up
- 20:19Speaker 5: to us to to get as much done as we
- 20:23Speaker 5: can in a in a reasonable amount of time so
- 20:25Speaker 5: the company could profit from it, right, Okay, hardbit. So
- 20:28Speaker 5: I believe that I've been told by many different sources
- 20:32Speaker 5: that most every other contractor in this building is on
- 20:36Speaker 5: a time and material Uh, they just show up and
- 20:39Speaker 5: they make money. And so what what incentive do you
- 20:42Speaker 5: think the bosses have to get on their people to
- 20:46Speaker 5: get more done? Zero? None.
- 20:48Speaker 1: They make more money by getting people nothing exactly.
- 20:52Speaker 5: Now, that is not capitalism, That is not conservatism. That
- 20:56Speaker 5: is that is liberalism and democrat you know stuff all
- 21:00Speaker 5: the way there is. That doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
- 21:04Speaker 5: And if and if this big pharmaceutical company wants to
- 21:08Speaker 5: throw a bunch of money at that, then that's up
- 21:10Speaker 5: to them. That's that's their money. But this happens on
- 21:12Speaker 5: government jobs too, taxpayer dollars. And it's even worse there
- 21:17Speaker 5: because now if it's a government job, you have to
- 21:20Speaker 5: pay everybody prevailing wage and and oh it's it's ridiculous.
- 21:24Speaker 5: You have to give people a reason to push themselves,
- 21:28Speaker 5: and sometimes that reason is negative. You might lose your job,
- 21:31Speaker 5: you might get sent home because you're not being productive enough.
- 21:34Speaker 5: If that's not there, people are going to get lazy
- 21:37Speaker 5: and take advantage of it. It's human nature you're dealing with.
- 21:41Speaker 5: And the Democrat policies are all about taking advantage of
- 21:45Speaker 5: human nature and getting people to goof off and screw
- 21:48Speaker 5: off and steal and what that's all this is about.
- 21:51Speaker 5: It's gonna it's bringing cities, my cities, my counties, my states,
- 21:56Speaker 5: is bringing it all down, and it's it's ridiculous. Please
- 21:59Speaker 5: people don't don't vote Democrat, don't vote socialists. No, don't
- 22:03Speaker 5: vote Democrats, socialists anything with a Democrat and a don't
- 22:06Speaker 5: vote Democrat. Have great day, run too, Tom.
- 22:09Speaker 1: We got time for Hank, Joseph, Hank, Welcome to the
- 22:12Speaker 1: Morning Show. Happy Wednesday.
- 22:15Speaker 6: Hi, good morning, Brian. This is got to be pretty quick.
- 22:18Speaker 6: I have a question about all these communists that want
- 22:21Speaker 6: to abolish the police. Does that include their bodyguards?
- 22:26Speaker 1: Uh, well that's a great question, Hank. I guess it
- 22:29Speaker 1: should shouldn't it?
- 22:32Speaker 5: Well?
- 22:32Speaker 6: And the other thing is just a simple comment. The
- 22:36Speaker 6: more I hear about the way they run things, it
- 22:39Speaker 6: looks more and more like communism is kind of like
- 22:42Speaker 6: a disease or a plague. They start out with poor
- 22:46Speaker 6: people and they tell them, well, yeah, we'll give you
- 22:49Speaker 6: free stuff, vote for us. So they get into a
- 22:52Speaker 6: small area. Yeah, then they create laws and policies that
- 22:58Speaker 6: make more poor people, so they get more people to
- 23:01Speaker 6: vote for them.
- 23:01Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 23:02Speaker 5: It's kind of like a.
- 23:03Speaker 6: Disease that just spreads from one group or one person
- 23:07Speaker 6: to another, and pretty soon you can't get away from it, unless,
- 23:11Speaker 6: of course, you hop in a crappy little raft.
- 23:14Speaker 1: And go somewhere else.
- 23:15Speaker 6: Indeed, which we don't have the luxury of here in
- 23:18Speaker 6: the US, because where are we going to go?
- 23:20Speaker 4: Cuba?
- 23:20Speaker 6: Maybe South America now that they're becoming less communists.
- 23:23Speaker 1: Well, as long as Texas and Florida and other states
- 23:27Speaker 1: don't go full on communy socialists like New York and
- 23:30Speaker 1: California and other states have gone, you do have a
- 23:32Speaker 1: place to run to, as has been illustrated and demonstrated
- 23:35Speaker 1: over the past multiple years, with all the businesses fleeing
- 23:38Speaker 1: the communists socialist stage and running to places where they
- 23:42Speaker 1: have the economic freedom and liberty and can make profits
- 23:45Speaker 1: still without rapacious politicians taking all of their profits away
- 23:49Speaker 1: from them in the name of oh, I don't know,
- 23:51Speaker 1: keeping people dependent on government. Yeah, they expand those programs
- 23:55Speaker 1: to you got to remember they start out with the
- 23:56Speaker 1: most altruistic goals. Oh, we're going to help this poor
- 23:59Speaker 1: class of people the right here. This is a small
- 24:01Speaker 1: number of people, they need our assistance. And then over
- 24:03Speaker 1: time those programs get expanded and expanded. You know, tax
- 24:06Speaker 1: credits aren't capped anymore. They go out to everybody. People
- 24:09Speaker 1: will come used to them and they're like, oh, well,
- 24:10Speaker 1: you can't take that away from me. Oh my god,
- 24:13Speaker 1: the government's going to take away Oh that's right, take
- 24:16Speaker 1: away my the recipient of whatever largest is flowing from
- 24:20Speaker 1: government my hands in somebody else's paycheck. I just think
- 24:26Speaker 1: that's immoral. But they make more money. Yeah, there's your
- 24:31Speaker 1: class warfare right there. It works great, it really does.
- 24:34Speaker 1: I just always like to look to the who is
- 24:37Speaker 1: making the money, who's providing the jobs for people. Again,
- 24:40Speaker 1: my entire life W two employee, Thank God for people
- 24:43Speaker 1: who are smarter than me that build businesses that I
- 24:45Speaker 1: was able to work for five point thirty seven and
- 24:47Speaker 1: fifty five cars the talk station. Get in touch with
- 24:49Speaker 1: Zimmer See the talk station. It is five forty one
- 24:54Speaker 1: I fifty five CARCD talk station A Happy a Wednesday.
- 24:57Speaker 1: It stack is stupid absence of callers. That's what we do.
- 25:01Speaker 1: If you'd like to call it five one, three, seven, four,
- 25:03Speaker 1: nine fifty five hundred or eight hundred eight two to
- 25:05Speaker 1: three talk. Okay, fast food's not good for you. We
- 25:07Speaker 1: all know that it's bad for you. Processed foods generally speaking,
- 25:12Speaker 1: make America healthy again. You know what I'm saying. So
- 25:15Speaker 1: you got that going for you. And I'll add this
- 25:17Speaker 1: to the reason maybe why you shouldn't go to fast
- 25:19Speaker 1: food restaurants plural. I got two stories here that'll probably
- 25:22Speaker 1: discuss the living hell out e. But remember one of
- 25:25Speaker 1: the reasons you might want to go not and might
- 25:26Speaker 1: not want to go to a fast food restaurant or
- 25:28Speaker 1: play anyplace salves for that matter. You are not cooking
- 25:31Speaker 1: the food, You are not handling the food. Someone else
- 25:36Speaker 1: is doing it for you. And with that, let's pivot
- 25:38Speaker 1: over to an Arbi's worker in Oklahoma who's been charged
- 25:43Speaker 1: with spitting in the food of a customer and alleged
- 25:46Speaker 1: contamination that the victims said result in her in her contracting.
- 25:50Speaker 1: Are you ready oral herpies do?
- 25:54Speaker 7: What the hell?
- 25:55Speaker 1: Police court records reflecting late March. Jenica Church, who's thirty eight,
- 25:59Speaker 1: put in order in at the restaurant in this Arby's
- 26:05Speaker 1: restaurant in a place called Broken Bow. She's a bartender,
- 26:10Speaker 1: just gotten off work, waiting the drive through for her sandwich.
- 26:15Speaker 1: Vest Get has charged it while her order was being processed.
- 26:18Speaker 1: Amanda Hendrix, thirty eight years old, a worker at the Arby's,
- 26:22Speaker 1: spit in the food. Why are you doing that? I
- 26:25Speaker 1: don't think we'll ever find out. Surveillance video Surveillance video
- 26:30Speaker 1: showed Hendricks removing meat from the slicer, which she lifts
- 26:35Speaker 1: to the neck level, leans her head down and you
- 26:37Speaker 1: can see the saliva leave her mouth and go into
- 26:40Speaker 1: this sandwich. That is a quote from the arrest report.
- 26:43Speaker 1: From the affidavit and the arrest report. Hendrix then continues
- 26:47Speaker 1: making other three sandwiches and sending out the order. Church
- 26:50Speaker 1: ate one of the sandwiches, then shared the remaining sandwiches
- 26:54Speaker 1: with relatives, and after consuming the Arby's sandwich, Church says
- 26:57Speaker 1: she developed symptoms of oral herpes infections and invading call
- 27:00Speaker 1: it painful lesions and cold sores. That's in her civil lawsuit.
- 27:06Speaker 1: She also states that she tested positive for herpie simplex
- 27:09Speaker 1: virus one, so she's got it. Suspecting the food may
- 27:13Speaker 1: have been contaminated, she contacted the police told officers rumors
- 27:16Speaker 1: were spreading in town that she had been bragging about that.
- 27:19Speaker 1: This woman Hendrix, who was arrested, was bragging about spitting
- 27:21Speaker 1: in her food. Search warrant served surveillance tapes gathered by investigators.
- 27:27Speaker 1: After agreeing to an interview with police headquarters, Hendrix the
- 27:30Speaker 1: spitter called to say that she couldn't come in due
- 27:33Speaker 1: to not having transportation, but while explaining that, she referred
- 27:38Speaker 1: to the police obtaining the surveillance footage and then said
- 27:41Speaker 1: she was not going to waste my time. Yes that
- 27:44Speaker 1: she did it. She admitted to doing it over the
- 27:46Speaker 1: fund subsequently charged with poisoning food slash medicine with intent
- 27:50Speaker 1: to injure felony. She has priors convictions for narcotics, possession,
- 27:55Speaker 1: credit card fraud, receiving stolen property, and driving under the influence.
- 28:00Speaker 1: The lawsuit against Hendrix from MS Church, she alleges Hendricks
- 28:04Speaker 1: allowed was allowed to work in the restaurant despite having
- 28:07Speaker 1: already again gross quote an active herpes oupreak with visible
- 28:11Speaker 1: lesions close quote. Consequently, Church now lives in constant fear.
- 28:16Speaker 1: This is in her lawsuit transmitting Herpes about transmitting herpes
- 28:19Speaker 1: to her husband and to minor children, which I understand
- 28:22Speaker 1: that fear. Imagine he's struggling with the same fear. Who's
- 28:26Speaker 1: preparing your food?
- 28:30Speaker 7: PERI is the biggest douche of the universe, in all
- 28:35Speaker 7: the galaxies. There's no bigger douche than you. You've reached
- 28:41Speaker 7: the top, the pinnacle of douche. Tom Good, going dou
- 28:47Speaker 7: Your dreams have come true.
- 28:51Speaker 1: Uh, you might want to hold onto that song, Joe.
- 28:53Speaker 1: We have two eligible people for the top platform of
- 28:56Speaker 1: the biggest douche of the universe. It's not just Darby's,
- 29:00Speaker 1: it's also Wendy's too. Got another one along the similar lines,
- 29:04Speaker 1: who's preparing your food? I'll ask that question again, pivoting
- 29:07Speaker 1: over Gregory Learcy the talk station five fifty fifty five
- 29:13Speaker 1: KC detalk station, Happy Wednesday and get back to my stack?
- 29:16Speaker 1: Is stupid? Here perhaps inappropriate time to remind folks listener
- 29:21Speaker 1: lunch second Wednesday in July. We're going to be a
- 29:25Speaker 1: Chandler's Burger bistro over on the West Side where I
- 29:28Speaker 1: know there will not spit in your food. Continuing on
- 29:31Speaker 1: a theme here and the stack is stupid. Yeah, who's
- 29:33Speaker 1: preparing your Food's good? Question? Ask you? Pivot away from
- 29:38Speaker 1: the Arby's incident and we moved to South Carolina, where
- 29:42Speaker 1: three Wendy's employees have been accused of spitting and serving food,
- 29:47Speaker 1: spitting in and serving food from the trash do what
- 29:52Speaker 1: the hell? Court of the Union Public Safety Department, twenty
- 29:54Speaker 1: three year old Aliaya Shuntai Sanders, nineteen year old Trinity
- 29:59Speaker 1: Lachelle Rice Some thirty three year old Shadella Crystal Holly
- 30:03Speaker 1: charge of tampering with a human drug product or food item.
- 30:08Speaker 1: This at a Wendy's May thirty, first customer ordered food
- 30:10Speaker 1: from the Wendy's drive through, had issues with it and
- 30:13Speaker 1: told the staff she asked for a refund. After the
- 30:15Speaker 1: staff took the order back, victim told police she'd asked
- 30:18Speaker 1: for the receipt and since she was not given WOEM
- 30:19Speaker 1: when she first ordered the food, given the food back
- 30:21Speaker 1: after the staff told her that they would remake her order,
- 30:25Speaker 1: she left the store. While leaving, she was eating the
- 30:29Speaker 1: food that she'd been given. Someone from the store allegedly
- 30:33Speaker 1: caused the call the customer and told her that an
- 30:35Speaker 1: employee spit in the food and had removed it from
- 30:39Speaker 1: the trash can. Customer told police when she looked, she
- 30:43Speaker 1: did find that the remade order was actually food from
- 30:46Speaker 1: her prior order. Coor to the report's, victim called the
- 30:49Speaker 1: store spoke with the manager, who told her he had
- 30:51Speaker 1: spoken with the employees and did confirm it, and said
- 30:54Speaker 1: he would review the surveillance footage. Well apparently coord to
- 30:58Speaker 1: the general manager, and the manager told the victim that
- 31:02Speaker 1: Miss Sanders and Miss Rice were written up for the incident.
- 31:07Speaker 1: What Yeah, it didn't say fired there. Just keep that
- 31:12Speaker 1: in the back of your mind. Two Kentuckians facing phony
- 31:16Speaker 1: charges after a search of the car turned up narcotics,
- 31:20Speaker 1: some of which inside a bag that stated definitely not
- 31:26Speaker 1: a bag full of drugs. Idiots doing idiot things because
- 31:30Speaker 1: there idio is it actually misspelled two? Definitely is not
- 31:32Speaker 1: spelled pro correctly on the bag. Fifty one year old
- 31:35Speaker 1: Trisha Crawley and Damon Bennett, who's forty eight, arrested by
- 31:39Speaker 1: Laurel County Sheriff's Office, who looked into the park car
- 31:42Speaker 1: and spotted a plastic baggie which contained the suspected narcotics.
- 31:46Speaker 1: Investigator subsequently found another bag that's the one that was
- 31:49Speaker 1: definitely not a bag full of drugs, which also held narcotics.
- 31:54Speaker 1: According to the In addition to drug counts, Crawley charged
- 31:57Speaker 1: with providing peace with the police with a fake ID.
- 32:00Speaker 1: It was found to have an outstanding arrest warrant or
- 32:02Speaker 1: warrants plural. Okay, the bag also, I can't read what
- 32:12Speaker 1: else the bag has, Joe, Is that why that story
- 32:17Speaker 1: was in there? Phrasing? Ukrainian resistance fighters are deploying CIA
- 32:26Speaker 1: catfishing tactics to lure Russian soldiers into revealing strategic information
- 32:32Speaker 1: helping the military target drone strikes. Drone warfare strategies of
- 32:36Speaker 1: the Ukrainian military drastically improved since Urrunsians Larussia launched its
- 32:39Speaker 1: full scale invasion that's five years ago. They've been only
- 32:42Speaker 1: hit strategic targets that the Ukrainians have hundreds of miles
- 32:45Speaker 1: within Russian territory. Accord to the report that was cited here,
- 32:49Speaker 1: Ukrainians have been engaged in elaborate quote unquote catfishing tactics.
- 32:53Speaker 1: They assume a false identity to lure someone who believes
- 32:56Speaker 1: they're communicating with a romantic interest. This for the purpose
- 32:59Speaker 1: of geting gathering intel on Russian soldiers court to the report.
- 33:03Speaker 1: For several months last year, Ukrainian, a housewife thirty five
- 33:06Speaker 1: and lonely in a marriage that had gone cold, traded
- 33:09Speaker 1: WhatsApp messages with a Chechen commander stationed somewhere in Ukraine's
- 33:13Speaker 1: occupied south. They wrote about their days or disappointments, what
- 33:16Speaker 1: they had hoped to do when the war ended, and
- 33:18Speaker 1: she asked about the front. He told her send me
- 33:21Speaker 1: a picture. She said, I want to see your life.
- 33:26Speaker 1: One afternoon he did photograph taken inside the barracks, of
- 33:29Speaker 1: himself with another soldier, grinning for the camera. Behind them,
- 33:31Speaker 1: Pinned to the wall a map of the compounds showing
- 33:33Speaker 1: the unit's position. YEA, it's because they're idiot. You read
- 33:38Speaker 1: that one ahead of time. Joe housewife was not a housewife.
- 33:41Speaker 1: She did not exist. She was, in fact, a middle
- 33:43Speaker 1: aged officer named Sarihi working for a Ukraine's military intelligence
- 33:47Speaker 1: director as part of a concerted effort to draw secrets
- 33:50Speaker 1: from men sent to occupy his country. Court to the commander,
- 33:55Speaker 1: he was great at flirting. Guys in our team started
- 33:58Speaker 1: asking for him for dating advice. Shortly after Rockma had
- 34:04Speaker 1: set the photograph the coordinates, it revealed we're struck by
- 34:07Speaker 1: Ukrainian drones. Congratulations, welcome to modern warfare. Five fifty five
- 34:14Speaker 1: fifty five krc Detalk station. Plenty to talk about in
- 34:16Speaker 1: the six o'clock hour. I'd love to hear from you
- 34:17Speaker 1: as the subject matter you want to go over. Hey,
- 34:19Speaker 1: look the city Cincinna City public schools. They want an
- 34:23Speaker 1: income tax and they're thinking to put it on the
- 34:26Speaker 1: ballot November election. Would you vote for that? Huh? A
- 34:30Speaker 1: whole lot more beyond that coming up. I hope you
- 34:32Speaker 1: can stick around celebrating two d and fifty five KRCD
- 34:37Speaker 1: Talk Station. Brian Thomas here, wishing everybody a very happy Wednesday,
- 34:41Speaker 1: and looking forward to one hour from now we'll get
- 34:43Speaker 1: the big picture with Jack Other than every Wednesday at
- 34:45Speaker 1: seven o five today, the topic two hundred and fifty
- 34:47Speaker 1: years of Imperfection. Donald and Neil Americans for Prosperity, Senior
- 34:51Speaker 1: director for AFP axtion in Ohio, we get a recap
- 34:54Speaker 1: of the Ohio one Small Step campaign, the America two
- 34:56Speaker 1: to fifty event that happened in Columbus. Hope you had
- 34:58Speaker 1: a chance to go to that, or the FOP president
- 35:01Speaker 1: returns of the fifty five Cason Morning Show coming up
- 35:03Speaker 1: at eight oh five. And gee, it's not as if
- 35:05Speaker 1: we don't have much to talk about with Ken Kober
- 35:08Speaker 1: thanks to signal ninety nine. Anyway, Ken at eight oh
- 35:12Speaker 1: five and Judge Ennen Ofpolitano, which timing on this one's
- 35:15Speaker 1: actually pretty good. I appreciating the Politanic coming to the program.
- 35:19Speaker 1: I know quite often he rubs my listeners the wrong way.
- 35:22Speaker 1: I don't mind that, and you know occasionally rubs me
- 35:24Speaker 1: the wrong way as well. But it's a legal discussion,
- 35:27Speaker 1: and it is a philosophical discussion in many cases. You know,
- 35:30Speaker 1: his politics or his politics very libertarian, but also wed
- 35:33Speaker 1: to the Constitution. The Constitution the supreme law of the land.
- 35:37Speaker 1: Its words have meaning and are important. And remember that
- 35:41Speaker 1: given Zorhan mam Domini's victories in New York, with all
- 35:43Speaker 1: the Democrats Socialists of America whose party is literally to
- 35:48Speaker 1: reject the United States Constitution, that's what they are about.
- 35:55Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a legal controversy involved in that.
- 35:57Speaker 1: You can stand there with a straight face and swear
- 35:59Speaker 1: to pull the constant the United States of America, which
- 36:01Speaker 1: is part of what you have to do when you
- 36:03Speaker 1: take the oath of office and then support the dssay's platform,
- 36:07Speaker 1: which is I mean undermining most of the foundations, the
- 36:12Speaker 1: underlying principles built into the Constitution, like for example, how
- 36:15Speaker 1: people get elected and who's responsible for electing the president.
- 36:19Speaker 1: I mean they're coming full on, full blown. So one
- 36:23Speaker 1: way or another, they're going to undermine our country and
- 36:26Speaker 1: of course the Constitution, and they expect to do it anyway,
- 36:30Speaker 1: and Paul Town is going to be springing from a
- 36:32Speaker 1: variety of different Basically, the war and constitutional indifference is
- 36:37Speaker 1: the caption of the column, but he talks about the Constitution,
- 36:40Speaker 1: the words of it, and how it has been eroded
- 36:43Speaker 1: in a whole variety of places, starting with the Commerce
- 36:46Speaker 1: Clause from the nineteen thirties Wickered versus Philburn case, which
- 36:49Speaker 1: basically gave the federal government the ability to regulate every
- 36:52Speaker 1: aspect of our lives and has been going insane growth
- 36:55Speaker 1: of government springing from that one case since the late
- 36:58Speaker 1: nineteen thirties, pivoting over going all the way back to
- 37:01Speaker 1: seventeen ninety seven when John Adams fought a war against
- 37:05Speaker 1: France without any congressional declaration of war. Which problem has
- 37:08Speaker 1: been going on since well, apparently seventeen ninety seven, so
- 37:13Speaker 1: timing everything. But what of yesterday's vote in the United
- 37:19Speaker 1: States Senate, that's right, fifty to forty eight vote in
- 37:22Speaker 1: favor of a war Powers resolution which will limit the
- 37:25Speaker 1: United States military action against Iran got some people concerned.
- 37:31Speaker 1: I wouldn't be concerned, regardless of which side you're on,
- 37:34Speaker 1: because I don't think this is going to mean a
- 37:35Speaker 1: hillbeans of anything. The War Powers resolution has never been
- 37:38Speaker 1: tested in court. This is the first time that both houses,
- 37:41Speaker 1: both chambers of Congress passed a resolution directing the President
- 37:45Speaker 1: to remove US armed forces, So the thing's never been
- 37:47Speaker 1: in court before. So some are suggesting this is merely
- 37:51Speaker 1: a symbolic action because you have to pivot over back
- 37:53Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty three, Apparently there was a Supreme Court
- 37:56Speaker 1: case that says this measure must be submitted to the
- 38:01Speaker 1: President for signature or veto to have any legal effect.
- 38:05Speaker 1: That's what the Constitution requires, right, well, the War Powers
- 38:08Speaker 1: Resolution in nineteen seventy three says it doesn't have to
- 38:10Speaker 1: go to the signet for the president for signature. That
- 38:14Speaker 1: has never been tested in court. So you got that
- 38:16Speaker 1: coupled with a nineteen eighty three say A case which
- 38:18Speaker 1: says you must. But then there's also the other legal argument,
- 38:22Speaker 1: and we've been down this road before. The line item
- 38:24Speaker 1: veto always pops into my mind because Congress tried to
- 38:26Speaker 1: give Reagan the line item veto and uh, well, actually
- 38:30Speaker 1: it ended up being Clinton, but the Supreme Court shot
- 38:33Speaker 1: it down. It's an unconstitutional designation of their powers. The
- 38:37Speaker 1: power of the purse rests exclusively with Congress. Ergo, the
- 38:40Speaker 1: President cannot go striking out individual provisions in a given law.
- 38:44Speaker 1: So pivot over the Warpowers Act. What does a constitution say,
- 38:47Speaker 1: power of declaration of war rests with Congress and delegating,
- 38:53Speaker 1: which the War Powers Resolution does delegates to this to
- 38:56Speaker 1: the president a sixty day window under exigen circumstances. You
- 39:00Speaker 1: can read it for yourself, but effectively says okay, President,
- 39:03Speaker 1: in these times and trying an emergency, we can't wait
- 39:06Speaker 1: around for Congress to get its act together. So you
- 39:08Speaker 1: got thirty days or sixty days extended to ninety days,
- 39:11Speaker 1: and to get the job done and respond using warfare
- 39:17Speaker 1: that I would argue, based on Supreme Court, president is
- 39:20Speaker 1: an unconstitutional delegation of the War Powers Declaration to the
- 39:25Speaker 1: President for at least for a limited period of time.
- 39:27Speaker 1: So both of those issues may very well be tested
- 39:29Speaker 1: in court. Because the Democrats, who are largely largely for Republicans,
- 39:33Speaker 1: voted in favor of the War Powers Resolution, Yes, including
- 39:36Speaker 1: Rand Paul, have argued that they're going to take it
- 39:39Speaker 1: to court if he refuses to honor it, and of
- 39:45Speaker 1: course they will. Experts though, say the constitution of the
- 39:48Speaker 1: Warpowers Act also will be settled in courts, and that's
- 39:51Speaker 1: kind of what I say. So, first off, you have
- 39:53Speaker 1: no signature of the president component, and then you have
- 39:56Speaker 1: also the unconstitutional delegation of powers that re exclusively with
- 40:00Speaker 1: Congress Court of Scott Anderson, a senior fellow the Brookings Institution.
- 40:04Speaker 1: The executive brands will likely ignore this resolution on constitutional grounds,
- 40:09Speaker 1: and it's not clear who might have standing to sue
- 40:11Speaker 1: to enforce it. Oh that Pesky's standing argument. Sponsor of
- 40:16Speaker 1: the the resolution, Representative Gregory Meeks in New York said, well,
- 40:22Speaker 1: we will pursue all legal avenues to ensure the administration
- 40:26Speaker 1: complies with it. And again that's how you end up
- 40:29Speaker 1: in court. Question whether whoever goes to court and tries
- 40:32Speaker 1: to enforce it does have standing. Democrats knowed the US
- 40:37Speaker 1: Constitution does give Congress, not the president, the right to
- 40:39Speaker 1: take the country to war. Congress has to own its responsibility.
- 40:43Speaker 1: That's Tim Kain's quote. Of course it does. I would
- 40:46Speaker 1: go along with that. But here's the other thing. Timing
- 40:49Speaker 1: on this is rather pesky because Donald Trump is expected
- 40:53Speaker 1: to ask Congress to authorize tens of billions of dollars
- 40:56Speaker 1: to pay for the ongoing conflict with a rot. I
- 41:00Speaker 1: think the figure came in at eighty billion dollars. Wrestle
- 41:05Speaker 1: among yourselves and discuss among your souls whether we're getting
- 41:08Speaker 1: return on investment for that eighty billion dollars. Who has
- 41:11Speaker 1: the power of the purse, right, Congress. So while we
- 41:16Speaker 1: swear with controversy over whether these you know, war powers
- 41:19Speaker 1: resolutions have any impact, whether the War Powers Act of
- 41:22Speaker 1: seventy three has any legal well, is even constitutional in
- 41:26Speaker 1: and of itself, Politicians struggle back and forth with trying
- 41:29Speaker 1: to reign in Donald Trump, or let him go down
- 41:31Speaker 1: the road he wants to go on. You know, we
- 41:33Speaker 1: don't need to look at the Declaration of War Provision
- 41:36Speaker 1: or the War Powers Act. If you want to defund
- 41:38Speaker 1: the war and prevent the United States from making war,
- 41:40Speaker 1: don't fund it.
- 41:45Speaker 6: Hm.
- 41:48Speaker 1: I can see that certainly being an option for Congress. Okay,
- 41:51Speaker 1: we can't get what we want because, yeah, the War
- 41:53Speaker 1: Powers resolutions unconstitutional. We can't reign in the president. President's
- 41:57Speaker 1: been waging of war since World War Two. The only
- 41:59Speaker 1: declaration of war we've had since World War Two? So
- 42:03Speaker 1: how do we rain them in? Write don't fund the war.
- 42:06Speaker 1: You know, you could have ended the Vietnam conflict. Conflict
- 42:08Speaker 1: nottice that it can call it a war. You could
- 42:09Speaker 1: have ended that war if you just didn't he funded it.
- 42:15Speaker 1: Or express provision in legislation saying no funds going to
- 42:19Speaker 1: the United States military, pursuing to the Military Funding Document,
- 42:27Speaker 1: no funds may be used to wage war in Vietnam.
- 42:30Speaker 1: They could have done that, they didn't. This is how
- 42:33Speaker 1: we end up where we are today. Bill Way, feel
- 42:35Speaker 1: free to chime in. I'd love to hear what you say.

- 42:39Speaker 1: two to three Talk Counter five fifty on AT and t found.
- 42:41Speaker 1: Of course, the controversy behind this one is the Iranian situation.
- 42:44Speaker 1: Iran said yesterday, huh, it had not agreed two inspections
- 42:52Speaker 1: of the bomb damage nuclear facilities. This after JD events
- 42:54Speaker 1: came out and said, well they did. Speaking of the
- 43:01Speaker 1: bress yesterday, Roddi and Foreign Minister spokesperson Ismail Boggie, you're
- 43:06Speaker 1: keeping track at home, said Iran, and neither met with
- 43:10Speaker 1: the IAEA Director General that Guy Ralphie al Grossi during
- 43:14Speaker 1: talks and Switzerland. Switzerland nor agreed to inspections and nuclear
- 43:17Speaker 1: facilities that were damaged in the US and Israeli strikes.
- 43:19Speaker 1: The short answer to both questions is null, he said,
- 43:22Speaker 1: when asked by reporters about whether the Iranian delegation and
- 43:25Speaker 1: met with this inspector and whether Iran would grant inspections
- 43:28Speaker 1: to those sites that we blew up. Quote, we have
- 43:31Speaker 1: no plans for the agency to inspect Israel Iran's damaged
- 43:34Speaker 1: nuclear facilities resulting from the military aggression of the United
- 43:37Speaker 1: States and the Zionist regime. Fundamentally, there is no framework
- 43:41Speaker 1: or protocol for such inspections that one day after Vance
- 43:45Speaker 1: said that, well, we had a breakthrough in the US
- 43:48Speaker 1: Iran talks. Quote, the Iranians have agreed to invite IAEA
- 43:54Speaker 1: inspectors back into their country. That is a major milestone
- 43:58Speaker 1: for the American people in the first step and permanently
- 44:00Speaker 1: denuclearizing or permanently ending a nuclear weapon program in Iran.
- 44:04Speaker 1: That sounded like they were coming in now, didn't it. Well,
- 44:08Speaker 1: now notice the qualification here, because the foreign minister from
- 44:11Speaker 1: Iran said, the damaged nuclear facilities those are the ones
- 44:15Speaker 1: that we blew up, and of course those are the
- 44:16Speaker 1: ones we believe contained the enriched uranium. Some are calling
- 44:21Speaker 1: it now dust because it's under rubble. Regardless, that's kind
- 44:25Speaker 1: of the place we want to be. That's where we
- 44:26Speaker 1: want to find out where the enriched uranium is, and
- 44:28Speaker 1: that's where the inspectors should probably be going. So does
- 44:31Speaker 1: it mean anything just if the Iranians are merely qualifying
- 44:34Speaker 1: it by saying, yeah, well, the IAEA can come in,
- 44:39Speaker 1: but they're not allowed to go wherever the hell they want,
- 44:42Speaker 1: does that mean anything? If we entered into agreement like that,
- 44:46Speaker 1: what's the point of that one? I thought the whole
- 44:48Speaker 1: thing was to get the enriched uranium out of Iran
- 44:50Speaker 1: or destroy it in Iran. Either way, you have to
- 44:53Speaker 1: get to where it is. If they've said no, they're
- 44:56Speaker 1: not going into the damaged nuclear facilities, then I don't
- 44:59Speaker 1: know that we've actually accomplished anything. So it's this is
- 45:03Speaker 1: the struggle we've been dealing with now since day one.
- 45:07Speaker 1: US comes out and says one thing Vance or Trump
- 45:09Speaker 1: or somebody else on their social media feed, and the
- 45:12Speaker 1: Iranians say something polar opposite. Meanwhile, sanctions have been lifted
- 45:21Speaker 1: and funds appear to be flowing back into Iran. Six

- 45:51Speaker 1: yesterday and of course some confrom are some information Tom
- 45:54Speaker 1: Zauwastowski about artificial intelligence centers. Here in the state of Ohio,
- 45:58Speaker 1: sou is the Sincinni Public Schools worth tax levee. Now
- 46:06Speaker 1: in addition to pairing back the expenditures, because they had
- 46:09Speaker 1: a hole they needed to fill, and I guess they're
- 46:12Speaker 1: letting a whole bunch of people go. We talked about
- 46:13Speaker 1: that the other day. In that same meeting, they discussed
- 46:17Speaker 1: placing levees well, one of three different levees that were
- 46:21Speaker 1: proposed on the fall ballot. Now they have a couple
- 46:24Speaker 1: of more steps to engage in, but the initial ideas
- 46:28Speaker 1: were three separate levees. Here are your choices. Which one
- 46:32Speaker 1: would you vote for? A seven mili property tax spanning
- 46:36Speaker 1: five years. That's two hundred and forty five thousand dollars
- 46:39Speaker 1: per one hundred thousand dollars of your home's assessed value,
- 46:41Speaker 1: generating sixty four point seven million dollars. Choice number two,
- 46:47Speaker 1: an eight milli property tax five years worth that's two
- 46:49Speaker 1: hundred and eighty bucks per one hundred thousand dollars of
- 46:52Speaker 1: assessed value, generating seventy four million for the Sinsini Public Schools.
- 46:57Speaker 1: And finally, coming out of NOH and earned income tax
- 47:01Speaker 1: that will last five years, which they say will generate
- 47:04Speaker 1: seventy four million dollars. So whoa income tax? Yeah, that's
- 47:09Speaker 1: one of the things they're considering. Why because people are
- 47:11Speaker 1: already really irked and angry about the size of their
- 47:14Speaker 1: property tax bills. I think you already got the memo
- 47:17Speaker 1: on that. One question is whether they can sell either
- 47:21Speaker 1: of these. Would you vote for any of them if
- 47:23Speaker 1: you're a resident of the city of Cincinnati. Apparently these
- 47:30Speaker 1: income tax ideas as opposed to property tax are a
- 47:33Speaker 1: growing phenomenon because of people's revolt against their outrageous property
- 47:38Speaker 1: tax bill. Apparently, in the May primary this year there
- 47:42Speaker 1: were thirty two income tax requests by districts and statewide.
- 47:46Speaker 1: Mount Healthy Schools also had one. North College Hill is
- 47:49Speaker 1: also so while we traditionally go or they traditionally go
- 47:52Speaker 1: after property taxes. Because of this concern, the income tax
- 47:56Speaker 1: levy numbers have ballooned over the last last several years,
- 48:01Speaker 1: twelve levees and twenty twenty one income tax levies, jumping
- 48:04Speaker 1: to fifty one in twenty twenty five. Thank you Grace
- 48:08Speaker 1: Ducker at ENQUIRE for providing that information. So overall support
- 48:11Speaker 1: for income tax statewide not really good, so they also
- 48:16Speaker 1: are a loser. Maybe it's the public schools that are
- 48:19Speaker 1: the ones that are It's I don't care what you're
- 48:21Speaker 1: coming after by way of revenue, You're not going to
- 48:23Speaker 1: get any more money out of me unless you perform better.
- 48:25Speaker 1: I think that's kind of baked into the pie here.
- 48:28Speaker 1: Twenty four districts thirty two income tax requests failed. That's
- 48:38Speaker 1: the last time last year when they did this. So
- 48:41Speaker 1: step two after they all all these three forms were approved,
- 48:46Speaker 1: and they have to move forward with one of the
- 48:48Speaker 1: three proposals, and they have to be doing no later
- 48:52Speaker 1: than ninety four, ninety days before the election. That will
- 48:55Speaker 1: be by August fifth. So the board has to move
- 48:57Speaker 1: this forward picking one of the three. Which would you choose?
- 49:04Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna go with none. Joe's nineting has
- 49:08Speaker 1: had an approval. I think that's his direction too, but
- 49:10Speaker 1: I probably could have guessed that right out of the gate.
- 49:13Speaker 1: More local stories coming up or your phone calls either
- 49:15Speaker 1: way you want to go. But I first want to
- 49:16Speaker 1: mention Susane Low's camp six point thirty at fifty five KRC,
- 49:21Speaker 1: the talk station. It's that a stupid I'm sorry maybe
- 49:26Speaker 1: it is local stories. Since we have the credit of
- 49:33Speaker 1: the Signal ninety nine for doing local reporting and accurate
- 49:36Speaker 1: it is, I can start with her story from yesterday. Oh,
- 49:38Speaker 1: in real quick observation, you heard Hannity talking about no
- 49:40Speaker 1: one standing up to AOC and the Democratic Party Zorhan
- 49:43Speaker 1: mom Dommi's hand selected communist candidates all won in New
- 49:46Speaker 1: York yesterday in the primary, crazy stuff and then being
- 49:50Speaker 1: in solid blue districts, communists will now be elected. I
- 49:55Speaker 1: call them communists. They identify themselves as democratic socialists. Either way,
- 49:59Speaker 1: their pol see points are all leaning full on commie,
- 50:02Speaker 1: if not full on socialists. But the corolaria when the
- 50:06Speaker 1: Republican Party is you know, you can't stand up to
- 50:09Speaker 1: Donald Trump. His norsement's obviously worth a lot, and if
- 50:12Speaker 1: you ever try to, you know, say something contrary to
- 50:15Speaker 1: what Trump wants, he comes after you full bore. So
- 50:20Speaker 1: at least there's divisions among both parties, not that I
- 50:23Speaker 1: viewed as a good thing. But anyway, back to Signal
- 50:25Speaker 1: ninety nine. We got to my friends in the Batavia
- 50:28Speaker 1: village of Batavia. Apparently on the twenty second of this month,
- 50:32Speaker 1: the village council passed Ordinance fifteen seventy three Dash twenty six.
- 50:35Speaker 1: What does it do? It would provide non elected village
- 50:40Speaker 1: employees with a one time payment equal to the entire
- 50:45Speaker 1: year's worth of compensation if my Batavia friends vote to
- 50:49Speaker 1: dissolve the village a full year. I don't know the
- 50:55Speaker 1: justification for it, but fine, this is what they voted for.
- 50:58Speaker 1: And apparently the individual who would be eligible for this
- 51:01Speaker 1: would be still be able to draw unemployment at the
- 51:03Speaker 1: same time. So Signal ninety nine says a policy with
- 51:08Speaker 1: this many potentially enormous financial consequences for taxpayers seemed to
- 51:11Speaker 1: require discussion, she said, emails, text messages, draft agreements, legal opinions,
- 51:15Speaker 1: financial projections, internal conversations, meeting notes. So she submitted to
- 51:20Speaker 1: public records request asking for any documentation relating to this
- 51:24Speaker 1: ordinance that was passed. In response, village administrator Chip Seward,
- 51:28Speaker 1: she reports, said, there are no documents. There were no
- 51:33Speaker 1: prior records responsive to the requests. The only document produced
- 51:37Speaker 1: the ordinance itself, which was passed the night before. Nothing
- 51:44Speaker 1: to see here right ordinance repeatedly references this ordinance uncertainty
- 51:49Speaker 1: surrounded the future of the village. Repeatedly discusses the need
- 51:51Speaker 1: to ensure community of government services references maintaining operations in
- 51:56Speaker 1: the event residents voted as all the village government not,
- 52:00Speaker 1: of course, she concluded some spur of the moment housekeeping measure.
- 52:03Speaker 1: It was carefully drafted, addressing very specific concerns. Detailed framework
- 52:08Speaker 1: included attached employment agreements, eligibility requirements, payment calculations, and execution authority.
- 52:14Speaker 1: They did this in a moment's time, with no prior discussion,
- 52:17Speaker 1: is her sort of out loud question. Yeah, right, sure
- 52:22Speaker 1: they did, she writes. Even more troubling, the ordinance actually
- 52:25Speaker 1: says employees only need to remain employed until the date
- 52:28Speaker 1: of the dissolution of the village. After that, well, the
- 52:32Speaker 1: agreement states that they are not required to remain employed
- 52:34Speaker 1: by the village in order to receive the full one
- 52:36Speaker 1: year payment. No documents, nothing, And this was brought forward
- 52:40Speaker 1: as an emergency motion as well, adding even more intrigue
- 52:44Speaker 1: and mysteries surrounding how this thing was presented to council.
- 52:48Speaker 1: So but Tavia, friends, you might want to follow up
- 52:50Speaker 1: on that one as well. Interesting thank you Signal ninety
- 52:53Speaker 1: nine back to Cincinnati Police Department is arrested a man
- 52:56Speaker 1: on criminal charges related to child enticement and star talking.
- 53:00Speaker 1: Maybe we have another war to give out, Please say.
- 53:03Speaker 1: The incident was reported in May of this year. Several
- 53:05Speaker 1: juveniles said a man driving around Mount Washington making inappropriate statements.
- 53:12Speaker 1: Since a police department Major's Offenders Unit in Youth Services
- 53:15Speaker 1: Unit arrested and charged Stephen Parker, sixty one years old,
- 53:21Speaker 1: with criminal child enticement and menacing by stalking. This happened
- 53:25Speaker 1: on the twenty third. Please state the investigations ongoing. Ask
- 53:28Speaker 1: anybody have any information about this creep. Alleged creep contacted
- 53:33Speaker 1: Major Offenders Unit five one, three, three, five to two
- 53:37Speaker 1: thirty five forty two. Yeah, Joe, that may very well
- 53:42Speaker 1: be in his future. North College Hill got a guy
- 53:47Speaker 1: under arrest for two recent armed hold ups. Robert D.
- 53:52Speaker 1: Gray That is Dee not the initial thirty five years old,
- 53:56Speaker 1: being held without bond, having kind of jailed two counts
- 53:58Speaker 1: of aggravated robbery. I guess was in front of Judge Overstein.
- 54:01Speaker 1: North College people signed off the charges last week. They
- 54:04Speaker 1: filed court records alleging that he held up his own
- 54:07Speaker 1: place of employment when he pointed a gun at the
- 54:09Speaker 1: cashier's head and chest demanding cash from the register. That
- 54:12Speaker 1: happened June eleventh at a maristop on Gowwerth. Cashier feared
- 54:16Speaker 1: for his life. Court to the court filing another AFFI
- 54:18Speaker 1: David accuses him of pushing the cashier in demanding quote
- 54:22Speaker 1: the cash that was near the register close quote. He
- 54:26Speaker 1: fled with three twenty eight dollars. On Monday, Colerain Township
- 54:31Speaker 1: police charged him in with a May twenty eighth robbery
- 54:33Speaker 1: at gunpoint at the Eye Hoop on Coleraine Avenue. They
- 54:38Speaker 1: allowed you went into the I hop manager's office brandishing
- 54:41Speaker 1: a oh, it's a black firearm, Joe. It's reported it
- 54:45Speaker 1: was in their rest report. Black firearm. You know how
- 54:48Speaker 1: important that is because you know, if it's not black,
- 54:51Speaker 1: it doesn't function as a firearm or something. Anyway, brandishing
- 54:55Speaker 1: a black firearm at the victim and demanding money that's
- 54:57Speaker 1: in the charge. Then took over five hundred dollars in
- 55:00Speaker 1: cash along with the victim's personal cell phone before fleeing
- 55:03Speaker 1: the business. Yeah, good luck with that. Coming up with
- 55:06Speaker 1: six thirty six at fifty five KRC.
- 55:10Speaker 3: Talk station.
- 55:13Speaker 1: With six forty one I fifty have cac DE talk station.
- 55:16Speaker 1: Very happy Wednesday to you Li betting over since we'rena
- 55:22Speaker 1: talking a little bit about the Commerce Caause with Judgennapolitano.
- 55:24Speaker 1: The e Commerce Clause, of course, regulates interstate commerce. It's
- 55:27Speaker 1: in the Constitution and it appropriate applies to the what
- 55:31Speaker 1: the Republicans are trying to do to stop the climate shakedown,
- 55:35Speaker 1: described as the most ambitious federal action yet shielding oil
- 55:38Speaker 1: companies from the large number of lawsuits that these Democrat
- 55:41Speaker 1: states are waging against oil companies claiming that they are
- 55:44Speaker 1: responsible for the climate change? Right, can they sue volcanoes
- 55:53Speaker 1: for belching out all kinds of pollutants into the atmosphere
- 55:55Speaker 1: and carbon dioxide? And they can they sue countries for
- 55:59Speaker 1: wildfire that have carved Remember the Canadian wildfires negated all
- 56:02Speaker 1: the efforts from the entire state of California reducing carbon dioxide. Well,
- 56:05Speaker 1: then you also have to throw in the California wildfires,
- 56:08Speaker 1: which probably did the exact same thing. Anyway, just throwing
- 56:11Speaker 1: it out there, because there are other sources of carbon
- 56:14Speaker 1: dioxide in the air, and the trees love it plant food.
- 56:20Speaker 1: Democrats hate plant food. Anyway, there are multiple suits, as
- 56:24Speaker 1: I mentioned, they claim oil companies are responsible to pay
- 56:28Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of dollars in what they claim are
- 56:30Speaker 1: damages caused by extreme weather. Every action, every illustration of
- 56:38Speaker 1: extreme weather that comes through, hurricane, tornado, drought, flooding, whatever,
- 56:43Speaker 1: it's all your fault, all of it. Well, your fault
- 56:49Speaker 1: for exhaling. I don't know why they don't sue the
- 56:51Speaker 1: entire population of the United States for contributing to the
- 56:53Speaker 1: carbon dioxide levels in our country, because we do breathe anyway.
- 57:00Speaker 1: Pushing law pushing laws in various state houses requiring oil
- 57:03Speaker 1: companies to pay into the of course state coffers to
- 57:05Speaker 1: fund environmental resilience and infrastructure repair projects. Dozens of states
- 57:11Speaker 1: or a dozen states have introduced those laws. Vermont and
- 57:14Speaker 1: New York specifically have passed them, and under New York's law,
- 57:16Speaker 1: oil companies will be forced to pay the state seventy
- 57:20Speaker 1: five billion dollars over the next twenty five years. You
- 57:23Speaker 1: will pay it. Anybody have any idea what that would
- 57:26Speaker 1: impact in terms of the price of gasoline? Will that
- 57:28Speaker 1: cause the price of gasoline to go up or down?
- 57:30Speaker 1: Rhetorical question. Ted Cruz and Representative Harriet Hageman introduced this
- 57:36Speaker 1: Stop Climate Shakedown Act last month prohibiting that litigation as
- 57:40Speaker 1: well as the laws accord to them. The state actions
- 57:46Speaker 1: ultimately seek to regulate nationwide emissions and enforce a far
- 57:50Speaker 1: left climate agenda. Of course, the regulation of nationwide emission
- 57:54Speaker 1: emissions is how you get into the commerce clause. If
- 57:57Speaker 1: state of California says we need to get rid of
- 57:59Speaker 1: carbon diox that obviously seeps over and impacts the rest
- 58:02Speaker 1: of the United States of America. So we're using maybe
- 58:05Speaker 1: a little wickered versus philburn esque argument here. What you
- 58:08Speaker 1: do impacts everyone. Ergo, we in Congress can regulate it. Now,
- 58:13Speaker 1: whether the law actually passes, I know, probably not a
- 58:15Speaker 1: snowball's chance in hell. But it's the first attempt to
- 58:19Speaker 1: rain in the state laws and provide the relief to
- 58:21Speaker 1: the oil companies that they need. Ted Cruz said, you know,
- 58:24Speaker 1: through a coordinated campaign by radical environmental groups, or our
- 58:28Speaker 1: judicial system has been weaponized against American energy producers, including
- 58:31Speaker 1: many in Texas, his state, through meritless lawsuits or seeking
- 58:36Speaker 1: to bankrupt our energy industry, kill good paying jobs, drive
- 58:39Speaker 1: up the cost of electricity and gasoline for hardworking families. Amen.
- 58:45Speaker 1: Harriet Hagning more directly stated, we need energy to power
- 58:49Speaker 1: our economy. You have a very small number of people
- 58:53Speaker 1: who are in leadership roles making the decisions to do
- 58:56Speaker 1: this that have the ability to destroy the energy climate
- 58:58Speaker 1: for everybody, make us all poor. It will increase the
- 59:02Speaker 1: cost of food, transportation, and housing. If they succeed, it
- 59:05Speaker 1: will increase the cost of everything that we need for
- 59:07Speaker 1: a modern society. And at that point you need to
- 59:10Speaker 1: step back and look at how much fossil fuel we
- 59:12Speaker 1: I'm looking at how much we rely on fossil fuels.
- 59:15Speaker 1: I mean, they make up everything you want food. People
- 59:20Speaker 1: are complaining about the Gulf War, the closing of the
- 59:22Speaker 1: straight up hor moves and the shutdown a fertilizer amid
- 59:25Speaker 1: the El Nino or whatever we're living with right now.
- 59:27Speaker 1: It's gonna compound matters. People are gonna starve to We
- 59:30Speaker 1: need to get fertilizer flowing. Well, if you don't have
- 59:32Speaker 1: oil and fossil fuel flowing, you don't have fertilizer. For
- 59:35Speaker 1: God's sake. How about that plastic bottle you're drinking out of.
- 59:40Speaker 1: How about take around the room you're in. I mean,
- 59:43Speaker 1: I'm stared at to see a plastic Literally, everything in
- 59:46Speaker 1: here has got some plastic component to it. Say goodbye
- 59:49Speaker 1: to that. And then there's the whole reality that we've
- 59:58Speaker 1: all learned about doctor Faucio. Late, haven't we You felt
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: you got lied to? Now?
- 1:00:05Speaker 5: Huh?
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: You people that were running around with masks on the
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: mask Nazis screaming to people who didn't bother having a
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: jock strap over their face when it didn't do anything anyway,
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: made up distancing rules, pulled out a whole cloth from
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: Vauci's sphincter, undermining the whole reality that leaked from a
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: lab rather than oh, no, naturally occurring, said Fauci, after
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: the rest of the people around him said no, it didn't.
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: This was lab leak. Now we're gonna change. We're gonna
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: change the hearts and minds of people here. Let me
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: get my own researchers to chime in on that topic.
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: You were lied to over and over again. And then
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: the whole gain of function research that he was funding,
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: his money, his dolling out of billions of dollars in
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: cash to these crazy labs resulted in COVID. He did it,
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: but it was settled science, was it? Huh? What about
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: global warming? The UN Council's pro you know, proclamation about
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: ah my god, we're all gonna die. They pulled the
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: plug on that very recently, say that, well, you know,
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: we really didn't mean what we said, or we relied
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: on inaccurate information. The scientific consensus is that you and
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: I are exhaling ourselves to the death of the planet.
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: Bowl crap. And how do you go just against the
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: oil companies when there are so many gazillion sources of
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: pollutants generally speaking, in the environment, as well as carbon dioxide,
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: going back to my point about wildfires and volcanoes among
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: other sources of carbon dioxide. How can you isolate just
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: the oil companies? How can you identify solely their responsibility
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: and what exactly has been damage that needs to be
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: paid for as a consequence of some climate event. This
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: is crazy. I don't understand how he can even support
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: as a legal theory in court. It is impossible to
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: prove a direct correlation between any given instance. They're gonna say,
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: is climate change respond or directed, directed right or directly
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: from climate change? How many hurricanes have we had over
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: the entire existence of our planet, most of which occurred
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: before the Industrial Revolution, But then the ones that happened
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: after that, Oh yeah, that's the oil company's fault. This
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: is insanity over the phones. I'll go right after these
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: brief words at seven forty eight to fifty five krc
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: DE talk station. Gave talk station it is six fifty
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: two I fifty five KRSITE talk station. Jumping over the phones.
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: Got a couple of callers online. Todd hold on. Pat
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: is first, Pat, Welcome to the show.
- 1:02:49Speaker 8: Good morning, Brian.
- 1:02:50Speaker 5: How are you today?
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: I'm doing fine. A little frustrated with New York and
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: the direction of the country generally speaking, but you know, otherwise,
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: it's a decent Wednesday. Try to make it so anyway.
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: What's on your mind today, my friend, Pat?
- 1:03:03Speaker 8: It really gets brain blasting, astounding, unbelievable. Hard to believe
- 1:03:11Speaker 8: that people can come up with some of the nonsense
- 1:03:14Speaker 8: and people actually give them a forum.
- 1:03:16Speaker 4: The spout this ridiculous.
- 1:03:18Speaker 8: And the only way that they could get that is
- 1:03:21Speaker 8: having people who will transmit their stupidity, because they must
- 1:03:25Speaker 8: be stupid too, because to believe the climate change. And
- 1:03:29Speaker 8: then oh, we got to attack the fuel companies, Well
- 1:03:32Speaker 8: then what happens when we bankrupt them? How are we
- 1:03:34Speaker 8: going to drive our cars?
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: You can?
- 1:03:36Speaker 8: How are we going to get.
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: See that's the scene. Don't overlook You're right, stupid people
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: embrace this or believe it, but don't overlook the nefarious part.
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: Pat we get a growing number of communists get an
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: elected capacity here in the United States. Their desire is
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: to of course, amass massive power, but also take away
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: our freedoms and liberties, redistribute all the wealth into other
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: people's pockets, of course, guaranteeing the destruction of the United
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: States economy at large, and of course the destruction of
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: the United States period. That's what they want. They want
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: to take it around it anymore, and idiots allow them
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: to move forward with these plans so they know their lives.
- 1:04:13Speaker 8: At the end of the day, when you haven't studied
- 1:04:15Speaker 8: the history of Marxism, communism, socialism, all that collapses on itself.
- 1:04:20Speaker 4: And then what are you're gonna do that?
- 1:04:22Speaker 8: Are you gonna have to be accountable? You know Tom
- 1:04:26Speaker 8: nailed it with all human beings. You have to be
- 1:04:29Speaker 8: accountable at some time or another to do your part
- 1:04:32Speaker 8: to make the society better. And most of the people
- 1:04:35Speaker 8: in this country work hard to make the society better.
- 1:04:38Speaker 8: But they give a form to the morons who are
- 1:04:41Speaker 8: mad because gee, they must not have to go to
- 1:04:45Speaker 8: work like you and I and be responsible and have
- 1:04:48Speaker 8: discipline to go to bed when we need to wake
- 1:04:50Speaker 8: up when we need to come in and do our part.
- 1:04:53Speaker 8: Yet they want all the good things of effort, and
- 1:04:58Speaker 8: if they don't have any for they put forward, they
- 1:05:01Speaker 8: just run their mouth.
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: Well, you just got to overlook the fact that the
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: work ethic is a racist or a European concept. So
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: we can't have work ethic because that perpetuates Oh, I
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: don't know. And then merit also, you got to throw
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: merit out because merit is somehow unfair because the reality
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: of life is that some people will do better than others,
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: and there's no way around that. And yet there are
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: those in electric capacity to seek to level the playing
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: field in spite of the reality of that, in spite
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: of the fact that we all benefit from people doing better.
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: I'm glad the guy down the street has done so
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: much better than me because he gave me a job.
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: Keep going back to that fundamental reality. We should reward
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: merit and thank those who are meritorious for what they
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: have given us. By way of business industry, great products,
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: goods and services that we want Yeah, that's what merit
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: brings about. It brings about the success that this country
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: has demonstrated for so long in spite of its warts.
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: And I'm sure Jack will talk about that after the
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: time of the hour News with two hundred and fifty
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: years of imperfection. Yeah, imperfect, but better than everybody else.
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: So let's tear it down. That's what it sounds like
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: to me. Six fifty six fifty five krc DE talk station. Sorry,
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: Todd ran out of time. Got Big Picture with Jack
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: Adathan coming up next fall by donald' neil at the
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: bottom of the hour. Hope you can stick around.
- 1:06:22Speaker 4: Celebrating two hundred and fifty years of use sweather and trap.
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: It's seven five and fifty five krc DE talk station.
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: Of course, this time of the week and this little
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: bit of time on a Wednesday, we get to hear
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: the brilliance of Jack added in. We call it the
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: Big Picture with Jack Adathan and my friend Welcome back
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: to the morning show. Always love having you on the show.
- 1:06:41Speaker 2: Thanks for having me blackpal, and congratulations on soon becoming
- 1:06:46Speaker 2: a father in law.
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great. We're really excited about it. I'm still
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: I'm asking please, dear God, if you can shoot a
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: prayer our way for at least a decent Saturday afternoon,
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: that will be very much appreciated. Because it looks like
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: it's going to rain. It's outdoor wedding, So my little pumpkin,
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. I'm happy about that. Whatever come what may, weatherwise,
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna pull it off, and we're gonna
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: try to have a really good time. But I would
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: appreciate drier conditions.
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: Jack, It's gonna be wonderful, Brian, as long as you
- 1:07:16Speaker 2: don't take advice from Robert de Niro about being an
- 1:07:19Speaker 2: in law or anything.
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: Else or anything else. I was waiting for that, Jack, Brian.
- 1:07:26Speaker 2: In all the time, as you've let me blather on,
- 1:07:29Speaker 2: not a week has gone on when we haven't tried
- 1:07:32Speaker 2: to prove that the United States of America is the
- 1:07:35Speaker 2: greatest country in the history of the world. So as
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: we're about to wave flags, shoot all fireworks, and beat
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: our chests like those UFC fighters on the White House lawn,
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: it may seem unpatriotic to mention, but America is the greatest.
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: Pardon me not so well this morning. Oh I'm sorry,
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: we're the greatest, but we're not perfect. Our founders never
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: expected us to be perfect, because unlike the ignor Ramises
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: who want to govern us today. Yes, Kamala AOC James Tolerico, Mom, Donnie,
- 1:08:09Speaker 2: who had such a great night last night, I'm looking
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: at all of you kids. Our founders were well educated
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: before rebelling against a divine right king and his hereditary aristocracy. Jefferson,
- 1:08:23Speaker 2: Franklin and the rest had read John Locke on God
- 1:08:27Speaker 2: given individual rights. They had read Montesquieu and his call
- 1:08:31Speaker 2: for limited government guaranteed by a separation of powers. And
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: our founders read the first and still the most important
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: book ever written about politics, Plato's Republic, the book Winston
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: Churchill may have been thinking of when he later said
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: democracy is the worst form of government except for all
- 1:08:52Speaker 2: the other ones. Plato proves this in the Republic by
- 1:08:56Speaker 2: showing how, unless we're careful, all forms of god government
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: degenerate into tyranny. The philosopher starts with aristocracies throughout history.
- 1:09:07Speaker 2: The original aristocrats everywhere have always been conquerors. Yes, my
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: leftist friends, including that lady at the opening of the
- 1:09:15Speaker 2: hideous Obama Library who apologized to Native Americans for building
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: on stolen land. It's not just evil American colonists who
- 1:09:25Speaker 2: conquered land. How about just to take one example, England.
- 1:09:30Speaker 2: At one point, Anglo Saxons ruled there until an invader
- 1:09:35Speaker 2: from Normandy across the channel on the coast of France.
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: William the Conqueror chased Saxons like Robin Hood into Sherwood Forest.
- 1:09:44Speaker 2: That really happened. The Normans created their own English aristocracy,
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: some of whom are still around today, but not many
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: Brian because, as Plato points out, aristocracy degenerates. William the
- 1:09:58Speaker 2: Conqueror may have been okay as Kingscoe, but his great
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: grandson King John was a creep. That's why John was
- 1:10:06Speaker 2: forced to sign Magna Carta, limiting the monarch's power. Plato
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: observed that when aristocratic families degenerate, their power passes to oligarchs, moneymen, bankers, merchants,
- 1:10:20Speaker 2: even bootleggers. The founder of America's most famous political family,
- 1:10:25Speaker 2: Old Joe Kennedy, besides being a banker and a backer
- 1:10:28Speaker 2: of Hollywood movies, also imported Canadian booze during and after Prohibition.
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: The Irish outsiders millions bought him so much political influence.
- 1:10:40Speaker 2: Joe became our ambassador to Great Britain, where he infamously
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: tried to appease Adolf Hitler. When the Allies eventually beat Hitler,
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: Joe's son, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, a war hero, had to
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: live down his father's reputation. How do he do that? Well?
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: This takes us to Plato's next regime. Democracy. Plato says,
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: children of the rich are often ashamed of their privilege,
- 1:11:07Speaker 2: so they become champions of the poor. They become Democrats.
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: Socialists not so much. JF. Kay himself, sounding more like
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: Reagan than Roosevelt. President Kennedy supported massive across the board
- 1:11:21Speaker 2: tax cuts, believing that a rising tide lifts all boats
- 1:11:26Speaker 2: thanks to economic growth, a word you never hear from
- 1:11:31Speaker 2: later Republicans, including Senator Ted Kennedy. Guilt written over a
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: lot of things. Teddy became America's leaving leftists, leading the
- 1:11:40Speaker 2: way to open borders and cradle to grave welfare because
- 1:11:44Speaker 2: the Democrat Party is all about buying votes by getting
- 1:11:48Speaker 2: rich and poor hooked on big government. Plato, like Winston
- 1:11:54Speaker 2: Churchill and Alexander Hamilton, by the way, did not believe
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: democracy is the ideal form of government. They all feared
- 1:12:02Speaker 2: mob rule. They feared demagogues who would promise voters never
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: ending handouts, ruining their character and sapping the nation's strength
- 1:12:12Speaker 2: until demogogues become tyrants. Today's so called Democrat Party is
- 1:12:18Speaker 2: an unholy marriage of globalist demogogues think George Sorrows, Mom
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: Donnie Nancy Pelosi, and those left abjectly dependent on big government.
- 1:12:29Speaker 2: We're talking about public union members, including teachers who run
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: big cities like Chicago. Also the permanently poor, uneducated drowning
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: in a pop culture that worships victimhood, as well as
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: illegal immigrants, especially today, immediately qualifying for both legal and
- 1:12:48Speaker 2: fraudulent subsidies paid for by taxpayers. Two hundred and fifty
- 1:12:53Speaker 2: years ago, our founders recognized this risk, as Benjamin Franklin said,
- 1:12:59Speaker 2: only of virtuous people are capable of freedom. Now it's true,
- 1:13:04Speaker 2: Brian ben himself was not perfectly virtuous, ask his laws
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: suffering wife Deborah. Neither were slave owners or robber barons
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: abusing workers, including children. The United States of America has
- 1:13:17Speaker 2: never been uniquely evil, but from the start we were
- 1:13:21Speaker 2: the product of compromise between big states and small, rich states.
- 1:13:26Speaker 2: And poor, free and slave states. That's all true, and
- 1:13:30Speaker 2: it has to always be remembered. Nevertheless, Brian, how many
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: nations throughout history have fought a civil war to free
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: their slaves. How many welcomed illegal immigrants and then legal immigrants.
- 1:13:45Speaker 2: Once we realized that we were being overrun and we
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: were dispensing welfare to everybody, we welcomed legal immigrants still
- 1:13:51Speaker 2: from around the globe, asking only that they assimilate and
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: embrace the American ideals of tolerance, personal rights, and personal responsibility.
- 1:14:03Speaker 2: Plato dreamt of a republic with the wisest and most
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: experienced men and women explicitly included women, ruled as philosopher
- 1:14:12Speaker 2: kings and queens, supported by a courageous military, and virtuous
- 1:14:17Speaker 2: private citizens. But with those who criticize the republic without
- 1:14:22Speaker 2: reading it ignore is that Plato admits his ideal republic
- 1:14:27Speaker 2: is impossible. That's why he defends democracy as the best
- 1:14:32Speaker 2: possible alternative, because, more than any top down big government,
- 1:14:37Speaker 2: a democratic republic elected by a broad base of citizens
- 1:14:41Speaker 2: is most likely to allow individuals to pursue their own
- 1:14:45Speaker 2: notion of the virtuous life, more than monarchies, theocracies, or
- 1:14:50Speaker 2: socialist paradises. Democracy leaves each of us free to perfect
- 1:14:55Speaker 2: ourselves at our children. So, friends, on this two hundred
- 1:15:00Speaker 2: and fiftieth anniversary of our independence, resist demagogues, reject big government,
- 1:15:08Speaker 2: and let's instead make ourselves worthy of our imperfect but
- 1:15:12Speaker 2: magnificent American Republic.
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: What do you say that I agree with you the
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: hundred percent, Jack, I mean, who could not agree with that?
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: I'm just besides well, because they don't bother contemplating what
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: they're asking for. You know, you just look at the
- 1:15:29Speaker 1: numbers alone. This simple reality that if you look at
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: the economics of our country, what we've accomplished over the years,
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: the growth of our country, what we have exported by
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: way of technology and brilliance, the gifts we've given to
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: the world in terms of you know, crop growth and
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: modern conveniences, you know, things that keep people alive longer.
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: The average age of death. Obviously he has gotten longer
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: and longer and longer over the Well, thank you to
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: the United States and it's infusion of cash around the
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: entire globe. I mean, we have funded and kept so
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: much any nations alive and out of peril, and we
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: never get any seem to get any credit for it.
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: You can only do all of the things we've been
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: able to accomplish in spite of our warts over the
- 1:16:08Speaker 1: years without an economically successful system of government. And it
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: is wildly successful. And you know, Jack, I don't understand
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: why everyone wants to run the opposite direction and kill
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: our own economy, kill the goose that laid the golden egg.
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: The world relies upon American and American largest for all
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: of its social programs. Hell, the UN is asking for
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: one point three trillion dollars every year to fight climbate cass.
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: What country supports the UN more than any other at
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: least until recently, right will be on the hook for that.
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: And they wanted to develop Africa for example, Well, okay,
- 1:16:45Speaker 1: you couldn't even ask for something like that without the
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: demonstrable awesomeness of the American system of government and our
- 1:16:53Speaker 1: economic philosophy, which is waning but largely capitalist. So what
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: do they want to do. They want to destroy it.
- 1:16:59Speaker 1: They want to bring about socialism, wealthy distribution to everybody,
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: which we know is economically damaging, and of course it's
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: basically a poison pill for the entire society that lives
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: under socialism or communism. It's happened over and over again.
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: Why do we continue to race in that direction? Collectively?
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: Jack added, and more and more every day people reject
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: the idea of capitalism in favor of socialism, not knowing,
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: I guess what's down the road if we go that direction.
- 1:17:24Speaker 2: Collective ignorance, socialists ignorant of history, even recent history. They
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: don't believe that socialism will kill America. And we have
- 1:17:36Speaker 2: to admit Brian life will go on even if Democrats
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: turn America into a one party socialist state. Where in
- 1:17:44Speaker 2: New York City is now a one party socialist city.
- 1:17:47Speaker 2: And just as life went on after the collapse of
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: the Roman Republic, you just had to live under murderous
- 1:17:54Speaker 2: lunatic emperors like Collegialia and Nero. The United States, pardon me,
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it's sorry, Jack. The United States has been
- 1:18:03Speaker 2: an experiment in constitutional limited government. The norm throughout the
- 1:18:09Speaker 2: Ages has always been big government of tribal leaders theokrance
- 1:18:15Speaker 2: like today's iatolas and not Iran kings and dictators. America
- 1:18:20Speaker 2: uniquely was the blank slate that attracted settlers who were imperfect,
- 1:18:26Speaker 2: sometimes damnably imperfect. Yeah, Puritans burned witches Southerners held slaves,
- 1:18:32Speaker 2: yet their descendants steadily expanded individual rights and responsibilities secured
- 1:18:38Speaker 2: by limited constitutional governments. That's what's at stake in twenty
- 1:18:43Speaker 2: twenty six and twenty twenty eight, as Benjamin Franklin warned,
- 1:18:48Speaker 2: we have a republic if we can keep it.
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: I was waiting for that quote, Jack Adan, in perfect
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: end to our discussion this morning and always brilliant. I
- 1:18:57Speaker 1: can't thank you enough for your commentary every week. I'm
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: inspired by it and of course giving people food for
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: thought and more people need to reflect upon what you
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: talked about today than they apparently are right now, because
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: we are running down a dangerous, dangerous path. Moving it
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: back from eight oh five FOP President Ken Kober, and
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: we're moving Ken back, and thank you Ken for adjusting
- 1:19:15Speaker 1: to the schedule because vvik Ramaswami is going to be
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: on the program late. Addition to the show lineup, which
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: is Welcome to Me eight oh five with goodnatorial candidate
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: Ramaswami and then Judge Ennenalpolotano at eight thirty without further ado,
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: Welcome back, Donald Nei, old state director for AFP Action
- 1:19:30Speaker 1: in Ohio. Could you have you back on Donovan, It's
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: always good to be with you, Brian.
- 1:19:34Speaker 5: That much line up this morning.
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: Oh that's a great lineup, isn't it? And I really
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: like Ramaswami and I hope people put down their Some
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: suggest racism and others suggest the fact that he's not Christian.
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: That won't merit a vote. And many of my people
- 1:19:48Speaker 1: I've seen people that I have tremendous amount of respect for,
- 1:19:51Speaker 1: say they're going to sit this one out. They can't
- 1:19:54Speaker 1: vote acting But apparently, I guess Ramaswami is just not
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: good enough form or whatever, so they're gonna sit on
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: their hands. Garn te Amy Acton is the next governor
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: of the state of Ohio. That to me is batcrap.
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: And saying Donovan and Neil, you don't mind me saying
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: that out loud, You've capitulated. You're throwing out good for
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: the sake of the fact that the person's not great,
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: thus guaranteeing victory for the poorest candidate we've got available
- 1:20:15Speaker 1: to us. Donovan, that doesn't make any sense. Are you
- 1:20:17Speaker 1: hearing any of that out on the door knocking campaign?
- 1:20:21Speaker 4: Well, there's always people who are belly ach and as
- 1:20:23Speaker 4: I've said before, you can have Donald Trump and Ronald
- 1:20:26Speaker 4: Reagan run as governor and lieutenant governor here in the
- 1:20:28Speaker 4: state of Ohio, and they'll still be a handful of
- 1:20:30Speaker 4: folks who say they just aren't conservative enough, and so,
- 1:20:34Speaker 4: you know, ignore the belly acres.
- 1:20:36Speaker 5: Do the hard work.
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: Get out and vote.
- 1:20:37Speaker 5: That's what you gotta do.
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: Get out and vote. That's what AFP is all about,
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: helping people get out and vote and trying to sway
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: the hearts and minds of those people who might harbor
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: a similar notion, which is insane. Anyway, Donovan, how did
- 1:20:47Speaker 1: it go on Monday?
- 1:20:49Speaker 5: Oh?
- 1:20:49Speaker 4: It was phenomenal, Brian, I mean, a great celebration of America.
- 1:20:53Speaker 4: We had three hundred and fifty patriots. Really again, I
- 1:20:56Speaker 4: want to shout out George Brunnhaman, I know he's a friend.
- 1:20:58Speaker 5: Of the show.
- 1:20:59Speaker 4: Oh yeah, brought a bus of folks up. So we
- 1:21:01Speaker 4: had folks from Cincinnati, Cleveland, Toledo, Youngstown, Akron. We had
- 1:21:07Speaker 4: country music star Kofe Anderson perform the national anthem as
- 1:21:12Speaker 4: well as a set of some of his greatest hits.
- 1:21:15Speaker 5: We had US.
- 1:21:16Speaker 4: Men's national team three time US men's national team Brad
- 1:21:19Speaker 4: Friedel do a fireside chat with Jack Windsor. We had veterans,
- 1:21:25Speaker 4: we had parents and educators, and it seemed like it
- 1:21:28Speaker 4: was overall a great time in a celebration of the
- 1:21:31Speaker 4: greatest country on Earth as we approach her two on
- 1:21:34Speaker 4: our fiftieth birthday.
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: Question for you, Donald and Neil's a little tongue in
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: cheek here, but hey, were any of the three hundred
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: and fifty plus people that showed up for that paid
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: to come from where they came from to get to Columbus?
- 1:21:44Speaker 1: Were they making ten to fifteen twenty bucks an hour
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: to show up and support America?
- 1:21:51Speaker 5: No?
- 1:21:52Speaker 4: No, all these folks, you know, got out of work
- 1:21:54Speaker 4: early on a Monday. You know, we did provide bus transportation.
- 1:21:58Speaker 4: We did provide that opportunity. But you know, all these
- 1:22:01Speaker 4: folks right are volunteers with our county chapters, so they
- 1:22:05Speaker 4: meet with us every couple of weeks to work on
- 1:22:07Speaker 4: the policies and issues that we work on. And there
- 1:22:11Speaker 4: were a number of folks from central Ohio who you know,
- 1:22:13Speaker 4: we've seen it, we've worked with at different events and
- 1:22:16Speaker 4: have come out and it's all volunteers, America's patriots, just
- 1:22:20Speaker 4: celebrating the greatest nation on Earth.
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: It is indeed that something we all need to keep
- 1:22:25Speaker 1: in mind as we celebrate the two hundred and fiftieth
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: anniversary of the greatest country ever created on this planet,
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: and so many people wanting to tear it down. Honestly,
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: I got to tell you, I'm really heartbroken by the
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: outcome of the New York elections, and not that it
- 1:22:37Speaker 1: should really come as any surprise from here that it
- 1:22:39Speaker 1: should break my heart because we knew this was inevitable.
- 1:22:41Speaker 1: But the radical, radical left lean shift in the Democrat Party.
- 1:22:48Speaker 1: They're pushing out all of the arguably at least saying
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: or candidates in favor of these hardcore socialists. That is
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: a direction that is absolutely troubling and mind boggling to me.
- 1:22:58Speaker 5: Donovan Well, I.
- 1:23:00Speaker 4: Mean, it is a very it's a very real problem,
- 1:23:02Speaker 4: and it's all of the reasons.
- 1:23:03Speaker 5: You know.
- 1:23:03Speaker 4: We know at our organization we look to work with
- 1:23:05Speaker 4: anyone to do good. But what we're finding increasingly on
- 1:23:08Speaker 4: the left, and it's something to be warned about because
- 1:23:11Speaker 4: it's starting to creep into the right in some regards
- 1:23:14Speaker 4: as well, but certainly on the left, the progressive wing
- 1:23:17Speaker 4: of that party, the Bernie Sanders, the Elizabeth Warrens. You know,
- 1:23:21Speaker 4: they're they're dominating the the the candidacy on that side
- 1:23:25Speaker 4: of the aisle, and the ideas that are percolating from
- 1:23:28Speaker 4: that are directly you know, socialist Marxism type ideas that
- 1:23:32Speaker 4: you know, our collectivism rather than than individualism, right, which
- 1:23:37Speaker 4: is our nation was founded, as you know, on individual
- 1:23:39Speaker 4: individual liberty, not collectivism, and so we need to push
- 1:23:43Speaker 4: back against those ideas with the better ideas that you
- 1:23:45Speaker 4: know are very easy to go look for, right if
- 1:23:48Speaker 4: you look at the founding documents that our nation were
- 1:23:50Speaker 4: birthed upon. These we know the ideas that work. We
- 1:23:53Speaker 4: have to be ready to go and push back and
- 1:23:56Speaker 4: fight for the ideas that that made this country so great.
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: Question, and I think a lot of the advancement the
- 1:24:03Speaker 1: far left has made is just simply as a consequence
- 1:24:06Speaker 1: of this perpetual drum beat of fear that's been driven
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: into everybody's minds. Everybody's fearful of something, and oh my god,
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: when there's fear out there, there has to be a
- 1:24:15Speaker 1: government solution for whatever is troubling us. And that's how
- 1:24:18Speaker 1: the government increases its power and control over us, you know,
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: with this great solution to all the problems. You know,
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: remember the Great Society Programs that was going to solve
- 1:24:26Speaker 1: poverty in the United States. How many trillions and trillions
- 1:24:29Speaker 1: of dollars have we thrown down those various government programs
- 1:24:33Speaker 1: from the Johnson administration and not a single shift in poverty. Rather,
- 1:24:37Speaker 1: things seem to have gotten worse.
- 1:24:39Speaker 5: You know.
- 1:24:39Speaker 1: It's gin up concerned, gin up frustration, and they're going
- 1:24:43Speaker 1: to come and save us from ourselves, which is all
- 1:24:45Speaker 1: I think, just nonsense.
- 1:24:47Speaker 5: Oh well, without a doubt.
- 1:24:49Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the you know, that's the biggest that's the.
- 1:24:52Speaker 5: Thing we need to be most vigilan of.
- 1:24:53Speaker 4: Right is this idea that so many in Washington knows.
- 1:24:56Speaker 1: Better than us.
- 1:24:57Speaker 4: I mean we see it with programs even now like
- 1:24:58Speaker 4: Social Security, which uh you know twenty thirty two I know,
- 1:25:03Speaker 4: to be insolvent and some of you know the solutions
- 1:25:06Speaker 4: that still make the rounds and washed in DC on
- 1:25:08Speaker 4: this str Let's just tax people a little bit more
- 1:25:11Speaker 4: so we can make sure they can retire with dignity.
- 1:25:13Speaker 4: Rather than actually getting to the structural problems with that program,
- 1:25:18Speaker 4: folks just look to pull money out of somebody else's pocket.
- 1:25:21Speaker 5: We don't.
- 1:25:22Speaker 4: That's not what this that's not what made this nation great.
- 1:25:24Speaker 4: What made this nation great, it was individual liberty.
- 1:25:29Speaker 1: Not only not only what made this scration that nation
- 1:25:32Speaker 1: grew as individual liberty and not taking away what the
- 1:25:34Speaker 1: people are out there making because they tend to reinvest
- 1:25:36Speaker 1: it and then employ people. A point that I've been
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: making forever. But you know it's just the where this
- 1:25:43Speaker 1: has been tried and in practice before, it results in
- 1:25:46Speaker 1: fiscal calamity. It results in impoverished nations. Socialism is a guaranteed,
- 1:25:51Speaker 1: demonstrable recipe for disasters see world history. And yet it's
- 1:25:57Speaker 1: always like, no, no, we're going to do it different
- 1:25:59Speaker 1: this time, this time it's gonna work. No, it's not.
- 1:26:04Speaker 4: Just haven't tried pure enough communism yet, Bright, I haven't
- 1:26:07Speaker 4: had a pear enough form of communism yet.
- 1:26:09Speaker 1: No question. How do people get engaged and involved in
- 1:26:12Speaker 1: trying to speak the truth and sway public opinion using
- 1:26:16Speaker 1: AFP's assistance Donovan O'Neill.
- 1:26:19Speaker 4: Well, you can always go to Buckeye Blueprint dot com.
- 1:26:21Speaker 4: That's our website for a Boulder better Buckeye see you
- 1:26:24Speaker 4: could find a local county chapter near to you. As
- 1:26:27Speaker 4: they said, there are great Ohiolands getting together every couple
- 1:26:30Speaker 4: of weeks county chapters to talk about and getting gate
- 1:26:34Speaker 4: and learn tools and tactics for get involved. In fact,
- 1:26:36Speaker 4: we're gonna have ten just an example, we're gonna have
- 1:26:38Speaker 4: ten leaders from across the state soon to be leaders
- 1:26:42Speaker 4: from across the state come to Columbus this week and
- 1:26:44Speaker 4: for a two day training. We're providing to help grow
- 1:26:47Speaker 4: grassroots leaders that can create their own county chapters in
- 1:26:50Speaker 4: their community to advance these ideas a limited government, lower taxes,
- 1:26:54Speaker 4: powering films with school choice.
- 1:26:55Speaker 1: Buckeye blueprint dot com. If you want to learn more
- 1:26:57Speaker 1: Buckeye blueprint dot com. Be part of the solution and
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: get involved with AFP's help. They make it so easy.
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: Donald O'Neil, thanks for all the work that you do,
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: and congratulations at a successful event on Monday, and we'll
- 1:27:07Speaker 1: get my try to get my listeners engaged.
- 1:27:10Speaker 9: Fifty five KRC The talk.
- 1:27:11Speaker 1: Station seven a fifty five r SE. The talk station
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: reminds me of the old Cop Show days. Who's our
- 1:27:23Speaker 1: theme song for the Cop Show? Got to go back
- 1:27:25Speaker 1: to the chief striker for that one, But you don't
- 1:27:27Speaker 1: have to go that far back for Kent and Kober
- 1:27:29Speaker 1: Current FOP president representing the Sincinni Police Department Union Can.
- 1:27:32Speaker 1: It's always a pleasure having on the program, and I
- 1:27:35Speaker 1: wish we had some real positive topics to talk about.
- 1:27:39Speaker 1: Welcome back.
- 1:27:41Speaker 3: Hey, good morning, Brian.
- 1:27:42Speaker 1: Real quick here, I just starting off. I don't know
- 1:27:45Speaker 1: where the FOP is, or where you are personally, or
- 1:27:47Speaker 1: if you've taken the temperature of the since a police
- 1:27:49Speaker 1: department generally speaking, but Christopher Smithman's got the signature drive
- 1:27:53Speaker 1: trying to require city Council to have seven members vote
- 1:27:56Speaker 1: in favor of hiring or firing police chiefs and fire chiefs.
- 1:28:00Speaker 1: I think the background on of that is well known
- 1:28:01Speaker 1: to you. Do you have you taken a position on that,
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: because I know the signature campaign is going on right now.
- 1:28:08Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:28:08Speaker 10: Actually, Monday night died or membership meeting, the members voted
- 1:28:12Speaker 10: to endorse this amendment process, and we've actually been circulating
- 1:28:17Speaker 10: a petition ourselves, oh good, with some of our members
- 1:28:19Speaker 10: in the city to try to get this past Good.
- 1:28:22Speaker 1: Honestly, I didn't expect you to say anything different, Ken,
- 1:28:25Speaker 1: It just seems like a logical thing. At least one
- 1:28:27Speaker 1: person can raise their hand up and say, hey, do
- 1:28:30Speaker 1: we have a basis to fire this person, you know,
- 1:28:33Speaker 1: because clearly they've been letting people go without any foundation
- 1:28:36Speaker 1: for it, resulting in lawsuits. So anyhow, my interjection of
- 1:28:39Speaker 1: comments there, but I'm glad you're supporting it, and I'll
- 1:28:42Speaker 1: encourage people to at least get over to Jim and
- 1:28:43Speaker 1: Jacks or someplace else where the petitions are being circulated
- 1:28:46Speaker 1: and sign it so the voters have an option to
- 1:28:48Speaker 1: vote one way or another on that pivoting over. I
- 1:28:50Speaker 1: guess you don't use the curfew centers a signal ninety
- 1:28:53Speaker 1: nine and reported, and of course was accused of being
- 1:28:56Speaker 1: not only a racist but a liar, that there was
- 1:28:59Speaker 1: gangs of youth, big gang of youth running them up
- 1:29:01Speaker 1: from Small Park all the way up to Fountain Square
- 1:29:03Speaker 1: on Friday. Apparently the documents behind the scenes confirm that
- 1:29:06Speaker 1: police were called. And I know you were quoted by
- 1:29:09Speaker 1: at least one of the news outlets, I think it
- 1:29:10Speaker 1: was Fox nineteen talking about this. But we spent three
- 1:29:13Speaker 1: hundred and eighty thousand dollars in the city did for
- 1:29:17Speaker 1: curfew centers. That's where you drop people kids that have
- 1:29:20Speaker 1: been picked up for violating a curfew so their parents
- 1:29:23Speaker 1: can pick them up or a guardian can pick them up.
- 1:29:25Speaker 1: How come none of those were used? And how come
- 1:29:27Speaker 1: they were only used four times last year?
- 1:29:29Speaker 10: Ken Well, I mean the reality is, like Friday night
- 1:29:32Speaker 10: was a perfect example. There's two or three hundred kids
- 1:29:34Speaker 10: down there just creating chaos, and you got twenty five
- 1:29:38Speaker 10: officers to try to deal with it. We're not going
- 1:29:40Speaker 10: to take officers off the street to take these kids
- 1:29:42Speaker 10: to a curfew center. That's going to take half hour,
- 1:29:45Speaker 10: forty five minutes to do this, and what is the
- 1:29:48Speaker 10: end result of that. The end result is the kid
- 1:29:51Speaker 10: gets there and if he decides I'm not staying here,
- 1:29:54Speaker 10: there's absously nothing they can.
- 1:29:55Speaker 1: Do about it.
- 1:29:55Speaker 10: Really, they can't force these they can't force these kids
- 1:29:58Speaker 10: to stay here. I mean, these are literally these are
- 1:30:00Speaker 10: people you know that that work for the city volunteers.
- 1:30:03Speaker 10: You can't you can't make someone stay somewhere they don't
- 1:30:06Speaker 10: want to be.
- 1:30:07Speaker 6: You know.
- 1:30:07Speaker 10: That's why we have, you know, a juvenile justice system.
- 1:30:11Speaker 10: We got a juvenile justice a detention center that if
- 1:30:15Speaker 10: we have kids that break the law, in theory, we
- 1:30:17Speaker 10: would take them there. However, they refuse to take them.
- 1:30:20Speaker 10: They've refused to take kids with felony warrants. So why
- 1:30:23Speaker 10: are the police going to waste their time, you know,
- 1:30:25Speaker 10: and leave other officers short to deal with these crowds
- 1:30:28Speaker 10: while they're doing something that's going to make no impact.
- 1:30:31Speaker 1: So putting aside the holding pens, which is what these uh,
- 1:30:34Speaker 1: the these whatever they call them, curfew centers, and focusing
- 1:30:41Speaker 1: on the Juvenile Justice Center. That's where people who have
- 1:30:45Speaker 1: been accused of committing a crime issued a citation for
- 1:30:47Speaker 1: curfew violations are supposed to go. And you're saying they
- 1:30:50Speaker 1: will not accept.
- 1:30:51Speaker 3: Them, No, they won't.
- 1:30:53Speaker 10: They won't accept juveniles that have felony warrants. I had
- 1:30:56Speaker 10: an officer called me last week and was complaining about
- 1:31:00Speaker 10: and he goes, listen, he goes, I stopped a kid
- 1:31:03Speaker 10: and he had a felony warrant for receiving stolen property.
- 1:31:06Speaker 10: He was operating a stolen vehicle. You have to call
- 1:31:09Speaker 10: to confirm that these warrants are.
- 1:31:10Speaker 3: Good, which they did.
- 1:31:11Speaker 10: They said, okay, well i'll be I'll be ing round
- 1:31:13Speaker 10: with this prisoner and they said, no, don't know, We're
- 1:31:14Speaker 10: not taking them.
- 1:31:15Speaker 3: Don't even bring them.
- 1:31:15Speaker 10: Here, reunite them with their with their parent and tell
- 1:31:18Speaker 10: them they need to turn themselves in so we can
- 1:31:20Speaker 10: give a new court date.
- 1:31:21Speaker 1: This is the stated policy at the Juvenile Justice Center.
- 1:31:26Speaker 3: Okay, this is this is what they're doing.
- 1:31:27Speaker 10: Like I said, I get calls weekly from officers and
- 1:31:30Speaker 10: they're frustration of having you juvenile offenders that are refused for.
- 1:31:35Speaker 3: One reason or another.
- 1:31:36Speaker 10: And then, like I said, in this case, they're like,
- 1:31:37Speaker 10: don't even bring them here to begin with. So you
- 1:31:40Speaker 10: wonder why officers aren't going to be willing to take
- 1:31:42Speaker 10: them to the juvenile attention center or the curfew center.
- 1:31:45Speaker 3: It makes no sense.
- 1:31:46Speaker 10: It's a waste of time, it's a waste of city
- 1:31:48Speaker 10: resources to even think. The only way that this would
- 1:31:51Speaker 10: work is if these kids were actually compliant. Well, we
- 1:31:54Speaker 10: know that they're not compliant, because otherwise they wouldn't have
- 1:31:56Speaker 10: been out after curfew.
- 1:31:57Speaker 3: To begin with.
- 1:31:57Speaker 1: Excellent point, Ken, Well, I don't know at mere dereliction
- 1:32:02Speaker 1: of duty. It's as if, I guess, whatever this directive
- 1:32:05Speaker 1: is is as if they want the entire juvenile justice
- 1:32:07Speaker 1: program to be deleted, omitted, thrown out. No juveniles will
- 1:32:11Speaker 1: ever be prosecuted for crimes. That's the only takeaway I
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: can have from that policy.
- 1:32:15Speaker 10: Ken, Yeah, I mean that's that's been the frustration, and
- 1:32:19Speaker 10: you know, it's it's it's always been difficult to deal
- 1:32:22Speaker 10: with the juvenile justice system. And I get it, you know,
- 1:32:26Speaker 10: they're kids, But we have juveniles that aren't committing juvenile crimes, right,
- 1:32:31Speaker 10: we have juveniles that are shooting and killing each other
- 1:32:35Speaker 10: and that has to be dealt with an Unfortunately, our
- 1:32:37Speaker 10: juvenile justice system was not prepared and they're still not
- 1:32:40Speaker 10: prepared to deal with these juveniles that are committing these
- 1:32:44Speaker 10: absolute heinous crimes.
- 1:32:47Speaker 1: Do you have a possible solution? Ken, I'm going to
- 1:32:50Speaker 1: put you on the spot, because all this seems to
- 1:32:51Speaker 1: me to be the product of a probably a poor
- 1:32:54Speaker 1: home life, or parents who are non existent and not
- 1:32:57Speaker 1: involved in the raising and upbringing or even having a
- 1:32:59Speaker 1: concerned about the children that they brought into this world.
- 1:33:02Speaker 1: Beyond that, I'm going to loss to know. What possibly
- 1:33:04Speaker 1: could be done is by way of government solution, because
- 1:33:07Speaker 1: making and paying for curfew centers clearly isn't the answer.
- 1:33:11Speaker 1: Can No.
- 1:33:13Speaker 3: I mean, the.
- 1:33:13Speaker 10: Answer is that these juveniles that are committing the most
- 1:33:16Speaker 10: heinous crimes, they.
- 1:33:17Speaker 3: Need to be held accountable.
- 1:33:18Speaker 10: Amen, you know we play this game of well, it's
- 1:33:21Speaker 10: just a property crime. And this is the way that
- 1:33:23Speaker 10: the juvenile justice system in Hamilton County has said, listen,
- 1:33:26Speaker 10: a juvenile stealing a gun.
- 1:33:28Speaker 3: It's a property crime.
- 1:33:30Speaker 10: This isn't this isn't some big thing. We're not holding
- 1:33:32Speaker 10: these kids because it's it's not a big deal. However,
- 1:33:35Speaker 10: what we know that these kids are not collecting these
- 1:33:37Speaker 10: firearms because they have some elaborate collection of guns. They're
- 1:33:41Speaker 10: stealing these guns so they can go shoot each other,
- 1:33:44Speaker 10: so they can rob each other. And that's what I
- 1:33:47Speaker 10: think is the biggest disconnect with the juvenile courts right
- 1:33:51Speaker 10: now is them not even recognizing that you're stolen cars
- 1:33:54Speaker 10: are the same way. They're not stealing cars because you know,
- 1:33:56Speaker 10: they want to be able to drive to school. They're
- 1:33:58Speaker 10: stealing cars because they're going out. They're robbing people, they're
- 1:34:01Speaker 10: breaking into businesses, they're creating, they're committing other crimes.
- 1:34:04Speaker 3: This isn't just some property crime.
- 1:34:07Speaker 1: Let's pause. Bring FOP President can Cover back for a
- 1:34:09Speaker 1: couple more questions after the ease brief or seven fifty
- 1:34:13Speaker 1: one if if you have KCD talk station, Bright Thomas
- 1:34:15Speaker 1: with FOP President Ken Cover diving through the issues. Ken,
- 1:34:19Speaker 1: I guess I wanted to get your reaction to the
- 1:34:21Speaker 1: City of Cincinnati's budget. I've got a lot of criticism
- 1:34:23Speaker 1: in it and a lot of big swirling question marks
- 1:34:25Speaker 1: over but I was looking at the figure in terms
- 1:34:28Speaker 1: of police funding and wanted to get your reaction and
- 1:34:30Speaker 1: whether you believe it to be adequate and does it
- 1:34:32Speaker 1: address the needs of this insant police department.
- 1:34:36Speaker 10: Well, I mean, the reality is they're going to continue
- 1:34:39Speaker 10: to have us work over time.
- 1:34:42Speaker 3: So I mean the budget is what it is.
- 1:34:45Speaker 10: I know, not one time is that I'm aware of.
- 1:34:47Speaker 10: Have people been denied over time, and as long as
- 1:34:50Speaker 10: that continues, then that's fine. But they can't continue to
- 1:34:54Speaker 10: live on an overtime budget because these cops are getting
- 1:34:57Speaker 10: burnt out and we're seeing that are just leaving. You
- 1:35:01Speaker 10: know that, we just had a couple of officers that
- 1:35:04Speaker 10: just resigned and went to other departments. And that's going
- 1:35:07Speaker 10: to continue, unfortunately, to be the theme until we get
- 1:35:10Speaker 10: back to a full compliment. And I've actually talked to
- 1:35:13Speaker 10: some city leaders and let's say we're about a hundred
- 1:35:15Speaker 10: short right now. Let's say we get back to what
- 1:35:16Speaker 10: our current compliment is. If we get back there, I
- 1:35:19Speaker 10: go it's likely they're going to have to increase that
- 1:35:21Speaker 10: even more, probably an extra two hundred officers to have
- 1:35:24Speaker 10: all the events, all the things that they want cops
- 1:35:26Speaker 10: to staff. They can't just continue to live by overtime.
- 1:35:29Speaker 1: Well, and going back to your concerns about these roving
- 1:35:32Speaker 1: gangs of youths two hundred three hundred, you can't afford
- 1:35:35Speaker 1: to send a police officer to wherever they're supposed to go,
- 1:35:38Speaker 1: like the juvenile court system or even a curfew center,
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: because it puts the officers' lives in peril. So I
- 1:35:45Speaker 1: get all that, and we have a growing crime problem
- 1:35:47Speaker 1: if I have, unless I've gotten wrong. Obviously, you need
- 1:35:50Speaker 1: more police officers to deal with the officers to deal
- 1:35:52Speaker 1: with a growing prime crime problem. Now there is money
- 1:35:55Speaker 1: in the budget for classes, recruit classes. Obviously those take time.
- 1:36:00Speaker 1: Are you having or is the Sin Sint Police Department
- 1:36:03Speaker 1: having any success in getting lateral hires to fill some
- 1:36:06Speaker 1: of these vacant positions.
- 1:36:08Speaker 10: Unfortunately, our last lateral class was only eight officers. Two
- 1:36:12Speaker 10: of them, you know, eight eight is in single digits,
- 1:36:16Speaker 10: and two of them actually recently went back to the
- 1:36:18Speaker 10: departments that they came from. Oh, so that's certainly that
- 1:36:23Speaker 10: creates a challenge as well.
- 1:36:24Speaker 1: Oh my, and do you get a do you have
- 1:36:27Speaker 1: any idea what the reaction is from you know, the
- 1:36:30Speaker 1: I mean the paucity of people interested in taking a
- 1:36:32Speaker 1: job for the sinsint Police department. What is driving that
- 1:36:35Speaker 1: is that the city of Cincinnati's elected officials who don't
- 1:36:39Speaker 1: seem to have support for this police Is that perhaps
- 1:36:41Speaker 1: how the juvenile court system is run? Is it lack
- 1:36:44Speaker 1: of respect by the population of the city for police officers.
- 1:36:47Speaker 1: Why aren't officers interested in joining the CINCINNT Police Department?
- 1:36:52Speaker 3: Well, you know, it's a tough place to work.
- 1:36:54Speaker 10: I mean, you look at this report that just came
- 1:36:56Speaker 10: out that basically insinuated that all since a.
- 1:36:58Speaker 3: Police officers are racist. Yeah, so that certainly.
- 1:37:01Speaker 10: Has an impact on why do you want to go
- 1:37:03Speaker 10: and work for a place that.
- 1:37:04Speaker 3: You're going to be subjected to these things.
- 1:37:06Speaker 10: It's difficult, and Cincinnati is not unique to any other city.
- 1:37:09Speaker 10: You know, the same things go on, the same you know,
- 1:37:13Speaker 10: anti police bashing goes on in pretty much every major
- 1:37:16Speaker 10: city around this country.
- 1:37:18Speaker 3: And that's unfortunate.
- 1:37:19Speaker 10: But the only way that we're actually going to get
- 1:37:21Speaker 10: be able to get back on track and to your
- 1:37:23Speaker 10: point is for politicians to stand up and say we're
- 1:37:27Speaker 10: going to support law enforcement and to have just a
- 1:37:29Speaker 10: societal shift of the police aren't the problem. It's the
- 1:37:33Speaker 10: criminals in this in this society that are the problems.
- 1:37:37Speaker 10: And until that really swings back, we're going to continue
- 1:37:39Speaker 10: to have trouble recruiting people.
- 1:37:41Speaker 1: Underscore exclamation point bold and all caps on that. FOP President,
- 1:37:46Speaker 1: Ken Cobra, I cannot thank you enough for your time,
- 1:37:48Speaker 1: your commitment to the city of Cincinnati and it's residents,
- 1:37:51Speaker 1: and for the fine work that the insant police officers
- 1:37:53Speaker 1: do day in and day out. God bless each and
- 1:37:55Speaker 1: every one of you for that, and I'll look forward
- 1:37:57Speaker 1: to having you back on the show, hopefully talking about
- 1:37:59Speaker 1: some better news. Ken Kover, it's been great having you
- 1:38:01Speaker 1: here today.
- 1:38:02Speaker 10: Hey Brian, Thanks, I appreciate you having me.
- 1:38:04Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Seventy five right now, fifty five cares.
- 1:38:06Speaker 2: For I'm fifty five KRC the talk station, fifty five KRC.
- 1:38:12Speaker 1: Eight oh three, fifty five kr CD talks days are
- 1:38:15Speaker 1: very happy Wednesday to you, Judge Endena paulaton a bottom
- 1:38:18Speaker 1: of the hour, as is always the case, but special
- 1:38:20Speaker 1: edition a little late edition. But that's great because Vbake
- 1:38:23Speaker 1: Ramaswami's back on the phone. Of course, gubernatorial candidate Ramaswamy
- 1:38:26Speaker 1: running against doctor Amy Lockdown acting sings me the choices obvious.
- 1:38:30Speaker 1: V Vake Ramasam, V Veke Ramasam Me, welcome back to
- 1:38:32Speaker 1: the Morning show, my friend. It's a pleasure to having
- 1:38:34Speaker 1: you on.
- 1:38:35Speaker 4: Good to talk to you, Brian.
- 1:38:36Speaker 5: How you doing.
- 1:38:37Speaker 1: I'm doing fine. My daughter's getting married on Saturday. I
- 1:38:39Speaker 1: have to interject because I'm seeking prayers from every one
- 1:38:41Speaker 1: of every faith. Please pray for better weather for Saturday.
- 1:38:45Speaker 1: We're having an outdoor wedding.
- 1:38:47Speaker 4: We'll pray for better weather and we will pray for
- 1:38:49Speaker 4: her to have a wonderful, married and happy life ahead.
- 1:38:52Speaker 1: All right, Thank you and your family. Thank you very much.
- 1:38:55Speaker 1: And that allows me to pivot over to one of
- 1:38:56Speaker 1: the things that's sort of annoying me. And I have
- 1:38:58Speaker 1: some people out there in this world that I have
- 1:38:59Speaker 1: tremndu a maount of respect for. But they're telling me,
- 1:39:02Speaker 1: and I hear this from time to time. It's not
- 1:39:04Speaker 1: an overwhelming volume, but from the people that I'm hearing
- 1:39:06Speaker 1: it from, it's their knowledge, their intellect, their political engagement,
- 1:39:10Speaker 1: makes me worried because they're smart people politically, and yet
- 1:39:13Speaker 1: they're planning on sitting out the election this November because
- 1:39:18Speaker 1: they don't want to vote for any lockdown acting for
- 1:39:20Speaker 1: a multitude of obvious reasons. But apparently you're just not
- 1:39:23Speaker 1: quite good enough for mister Ramaswami. And I don't know
- 1:39:26Speaker 1: where the hell that comes from. VV for Ohio. I mean,
- 1:39:30Speaker 1: read the campaign pledges. Listen to anything that this man
- 1:39:33Speaker 1: has to say out in public when he's talking about
- 1:39:35Speaker 1: his campaign promises what he wants to do for the
- 1:39:36Speaker 1: state of Ohio. How could anybody not embrace that?
- 1:39:40Speaker 4: Yeah, look, I don't know which folks you're specifically talking about,
- 1:39:45Speaker 4: but I do think we have the biggest contrast between
- 1:39:48Speaker 4: two candidates in the history of our state. We have
- 1:39:52Speaker 4: in me, the most conservative governor that our state will
- 1:39:55Speaker 4: have ever had.
- 1:39:57Speaker 1: I say that with pride and with confidence. Amen.
- 1:40:00Speaker 4: And on the other hand, we have the first socialist
- 1:40:02Speaker 4: governor Ohio could have possibly elected. That is Amy acting.
- 1:40:07Speaker 4: And the question is do we want to embrace success?
- 1:40:09Speaker 4: Do we want to embrace family values? Do we want
- 1:40:12Speaker 4: to embrace all that made our state in our country great?
- 1:40:16Speaker 4: Do we believe in freedom? Do we believe in economic opportunity?
- 1:40:20Speaker 4: Do we believe in faith, family, patriotism, and hard work?
- 1:40:23Speaker 4: If so, I'm going to be the person who leads
- 1:40:25Speaker 4: this state accordingly.
- 1:40:27Speaker 5: And if not, if you.
- 1:40:27Speaker 4: Want a state where envy and grievance governs, where effectively
- 1:40:33Speaker 4: you bend the knee to a far left defund the
- 1:40:35Speaker 4: police movement that fights the rule of law and allows
- 1:40:39Speaker 4: chaos to sew on the streets of Cincinnati and other
- 1:40:41Speaker 4: great cities across our state. Well there's another choice on
- 1:40:45Speaker 4: the ballot. That's Amy acting.
- 1:40:47Speaker 5: You know.
- 1:40:47Speaker 4: Thomas Jefferson is credited with saying this. He was the
- 1:40:50Speaker 4: guy who signed the Declaration of Independence two hundred and
- 1:40:53Speaker 4: fifty years ago. He admitted Ohio to the Union, and
- 1:40:56Speaker 4: he famously said, Brian, the government you elect is the
- 1:40:59Speaker 4: govern government that you deserve, Okay. And it's almost as
- 1:41:03Speaker 4: if he was speaking to us in the year twenty
- 1:41:05Speaker 4: twenty six in Ohio. And honest to God, the reason
- 1:41:09Speaker 4: I'm running is not for fame or fortune, Okay. Our
- 1:41:12Speaker 4: family has been blessed. I've lived the American dream exactly
- 1:41:15Speaker 4: at a height that would not have been possible in
- 1:41:18Speaker 4: any other country on planet Earth. And I'm running because
- 1:41:22Speaker 4: I'm so grateful to this state and to this country
- 1:41:26Speaker 4: for giving me those opportunities. But at the same time,
- 1:41:31Speaker 4: you know, the reality is that American dream isn't going
- 1:41:34Speaker 4: to pass on to our kids in their generation automatically.
- 1:41:37Speaker 4: It's going to require leaders at the top will get
- 1:41:39Speaker 4: it done. And so you know, honest to God, whatever
- 1:41:43Speaker 4: happens in this election, that the truth is, thanks to
- 1:41:47Speaker 4: the blessings we've been given, my family and I were
- 1:41:49Speaker 4: going to be fine. The state will not be fine.
- 1:41:52Speaker 4: And I'm willing for governor because I believe we have
- 1:41:54Speaker 4: a moral duty to leave this state better than we
- 1:41:57Speaker 4: found it, and this is the year that determines that well.
- 1:42:00Speaker 1: And this is all the reason one of them, I mean,
- 1:42:01Speaker 1: the multitude of reasons why I'm voting for you and
- 1:42:04Speaker 1: support your campaign. But you are a poster child for
- 1:42:07Speaker 1: what the American dream can be. You have freedom, you
- 1:42:10Speaker 1: have liberty, you have a limited control government. I know
- 1:42:12Speaker 1: we're going in the wrong direction on that one, but
- 1:42:14Speaker 1: you were able to go to school, get a world
- 1:42:17Speaker 1: class education starting it. You know, you're k through twelve
- 1:42:20Speaker 1: and you went to Xavier High School, and you went
- 1:42:22Speaker 1: on to college, and you built a massively successful business,
- 1:42:25Speaker 1: and you employed a whole lot of people when w
- 1:42:28Speaker 1: two employees like me. I like to interject from time
- 1:42:30Speaker 1: to time, mister Ramaswamy, are appreciative of the fact that
- 1:42:33Speaker 1: guys like you went out and were successful based upon
- 1:42:37Speaker 1: your merit built businesses that gave people.
- 1:42:39Speaker 3: Like me a job.
- 1:42:41Speaker 1: How is it that we are now we are moving
- 1:42:43Speaker 1: headlong into a society that wants to take away everything
- 1:42:46Speaker 1: that people like you built and handed out to people
- 1:42:49Speaker 1: who didn't demonstrate that of that ability. I'm just frustrated
- 1:42:52Speaker 1: if you can't hear it my voice, sir.
- 1:42:55Speaker 4: Well, I understand you, Brian, and my job as a
- 1:42:57Speaker 4: leader is to make sure we here back in the
- 1:43:00Speaker 4: right direction. Okay, it's true. You're right that socialism is
- 1:43:03Speaker 4: gaining popularity. Look what happened in the primary elections across
- 1:43:07Speaker 4: the country for the Democrats last night. Democrats socialists are
- 1:43:11Speaker 4: taking over. I'm running effectively against one of them here
- 1:43:14Speaker 4: in Ohio, Amy acting, and I believe that the reason
- 1:43:18Speaker 4: it's gaining popularity, it's twofold Number one is a lot
- 1:43:22Speaker 4: of people do feel like that American dream is out
- 1:43:24Speaker 4: of reach for them. Okay, home ownership is becoming increasingly
- 1:43:27Speaker 4: unaffordable for young people in their twenties and in their thirties.
- 1:43:32Speaker 4: Health Care costs are going up, premiums are going up.
- 1:43:35Speaker 4: You think about even the cost of living in the
- 1:43:38Speaker 4: form of electric bills, they're going up two x in
- 1:43:40Speaker 4: different parts of the state. So I understand the frustration
- 1:43:44Speaker 4: that many people have. But the irony is the socialist
- 1:43:47Speaker 4: solutions proposed by Amy Acting and the Democrat Party of today.
- 1:43:51Speaker 4: They leave the very people they purport to help worse off.
- 1:43:55Speaker 4: Where we're going to do it. We're going to walk
- 1:43:58Speaker 4: the walk. We're going to deliver actual solutions. You want
- 1:44:00Speaker 4: to bring down electric bills. The answers produce more energy,
- 1:44:04Speaker 4: including natural gas, but also nuclear energy, which you and
- 1:44:07Speaker 4: I have talked about. We're going to make Ohio a
- 1:44:09Speaker 4: leader in the country in producing energy. That's going to
- 1:44:12Speaker 4: bring down electric bills starting next year. You're going to
- 1:44:15Speaker 4: bring down the healthcare premiums. It isn't by forgiving medical debt,
- 1:44:19Speaker 4: which is what my opponent has proposed. What about all
- 1:44:22Speaker 4: the people who paid their medical debts. And by the way,
- 1:44:25Speaker 4: that doesn't even go to address the root cause of
- 1:44:27Speaker 4: why the medical costs were so high. In the first place,
- 1:44:29Speaker 4: she has a twenty one billion dollar plan that's going
- 1:44:32Speaker 4: to tax hike taxes by twenty one billion dollars in
- 1:44:36Speaker 4: chase high paying jobs out of our state.
- 1:44:38Speaker 5: That is lunacy.
- 1:44:40Speaker 4: The real answer, how you're going to bring down healthcare costs?
- 1:44:42Speaker 4: I've laid out the first step. We're going to start
- 1:44:45Speaker 4: by going after the rampant Medicaid fraud and take billions
- 1:44:49Speaker 4: of dollars from people who should not be receiving those
- 1:44:52Speaker 4: payments and put it back in your pockets. So the
- 1:44:55Speaker 4: people who are listening to this program law abiding Ohioans
- 1:44:58Speaker 4: by bringing down their premium by doubling down on copay assistance,
- 1:45:03Speaker 4: and patting their health savings accounts. This is the first
- 1:45:06Speaker 4: step of many more. You want to know what caused
- 1:45:08Speaker 4: those healthcare preums to go up in the first place.
- 1:45:11Speaker 4: It is the residual of Obamacare over a decade ago
- 1:45:15Speaker 4: that eliminated millions of individual health plans and doubled health
- 1:45:19Speaker 4: insurance premiums. Caused many doctors, my wife is one of them,
- 1:45:23Speaker 4: to have to spend often more time filling out paperwork
- 1:45:26Speaker 4: than they're able to spend seeing patients, which increases the
- 1:45:29Speaker 4: cost of patient care. So it is those same socialist solutions.
- 1:45:34Speaker 4: Any actor who complains about educational inequality actually created the
- 1:45:39Speaker 4: conditions for that inequality when she shut down the school.
- 1:45:42Speaker 4: Cincinnati public schools were shut down for nearly two years,
- 1:45:46Speaker 4: while saintak High School, where I went to high school,
- 1:45:49Speaker 4: that was close for five days. Those kids in those
- 1:45:52Speaker 4: public schools will never get those two years of their
- 1:45:54Speaker 4: education back. So the socialists who preach about inequality actually
- 1:45:59Speaker 4: create the very inequality, Brian that they complain about. Now
- 1:46:03Speaker 4: it's up to us, right, is that the direction we
- 1:46:06Speaker 4: want to go. It's on the ballot this year. It's
- 1:46:08Speaker 4: a competitive mid term cycle. That's one choice we could make.
- 1:46:12Speaker 4: But as Thomas Jefferson's creditor was saying, the government you
- 1:46:15Speaker 4: elect is the government you deserve. And the reason I'm
- 1:46:18Speaker 4: running is I know we can do this. Okay, if
- 1:46:20Speaker 4: there was someone else in the state who I felt
- 1:46:23Speaker 4: could do a better job of leading our state to
- 1:46:26Speaker 4: be a model state for Texas and Florida and Tennessee
- 1:46:29Speaker 4: to look up to, rather than the other way around,
- 1:46:32Speaker 4: to lead Ohio to new heights. If there was somebody
- 1:46:34Speaker 4: else better suited to do it, you know what I
- 1:46:36Speaker 4: would be taking the money I'm investing in my campaign
- 1:46:38Speaker 4: and putting it behind them, because this is not for fun,
- 1:46:41Speaker 4: This is not for you. Don't do this for any
- 1:46:43Speaker 4: other reason other than believe you're in my position. You
- 1:46:46Speaker 4: do this for one reason, because you believe you can
- 1:46:48Speaker 4: make a difference. And I believe I have a moral
- 1:46:51Speaker 4: duty to do it. I believe we have a moral duty.
- 1:46:54Speaker 5: To do it.
- 1:46:55Speaker 4: And if you share the great values this country was
- 1:46:58Speaker 4: built on faith, family, patriotism, and hard work over victimhood, psychology,
- 1:47:04Speaker 4: woke in doctrination, gender ideology, and climate obsession. Okay, those
- 1:47:09Speaker 4: are your choices, and I believe that in the end, individual, family, nation,
- 1:47:14Speaker 4: and God beats race, gender, sexuality, and climate every day.
- 1:47:18Speaker 4: But we have to stand for what's right, and I
- 1:47:21Speaker 4: do believe that in the process we're going to be
- 1:47:23Speaker 4: able to create a better life for the twelve million
- 1:47:26Speaker 4: people who live in this state. Raise those paychecks, bring
- 1:47:31Speaker 4: down those costs, improve those schools. And that's not, by
- 1:47:35Speaker 4: the way, a particularly partisan message. I don't think it
- 1:47:37Speaker 4: should be. I don't care whether you're calling yourself a Republican,
- 1:47:42Speaker 4: an orphaned Reagan Democrat, an independent, politically homeless, libertarian, whatever,
- 1:47:48Speaker 4: you are. If you care about giving your kids the
- 1:47:51Speaker 4: same shot at the American dream that this state gave
- 1:47:54Speaker 4: to me and my family, and if you care about
- 1:47:57Speaker 4: giving your kids that world class education that will equip
- 1:48:00Speaker 4: them to compete in the future, then we're gonna work
- 1:48:04Speaker 4: with you. We're gonna work together to lead Ohio to
- 1:48:07Speaker 4: greater heights than we have ever seen. What is that
- 1:48:10Speaker 4: American dream? We celebrate a Father's Day, right, I'm a
- 1:48:13Speaker 4: father of three young kids. We had our first Father's Day.
- 1:48:17Speaker 4: I'm happy to report with our four month old daughter,
- 1:48:21Speaker 4: which is a beautiful thing, Brian, to celebrate. And you
- 1:48:24Speaker 4: know it, you know, And I think I was reflecting
- 1:48:28Speaker 4: a lot. What do I want for my kids? What
- 1:48:31Speaker 4: do I want for them? I want them to be healthy,
- 1:48:33Speaker 4: I want them to be safe. I want them to
- 1:48:37Speaker 4: get a great education, and I want them to be
- 1:48:39Speaker 4: in a position that allows them to achieve whatever their
- 1:48:42Speaker 4: unique dreams are and have financial security along the way.
- 1:48:46Speaker 4: That doesn't mean you have to have a big inheritance.
- 1:48:48Speaker 4: It just means you have to have the starting point
- 1:48:50Speaker 4: to be able to pursue your own dreams, whatever those
- 1:48:52Speaker 4: may be. And then I reflected on that, Brian, I
- 1:48:56Speaker 4: think I took nearly every parent in this state wants
- 1:48:59Speaker 4: for their kids, whether it's a father in the inner
- 1:49:01Speaker 4: city or a mother in a rural community. This is
- 1:49:04Speaker 4: what every parent wants for their kids. And when I'm
- 1:49:07Speaker 4: talking about cleaning up the streets back in the blue,
- 1:49:09Speaker 4: restoring law and order, that's for safety. When I'm talking
- 1:49:12Speaker 4: about bringing standards to our schools, that's to ensure that
- 1:49:15Speaker 4: our kids get the education they deserve. When I'm talking
- 1:49:18Speaker 4: about combating Medicaid fraud and bringing down healthcare costs, that's
- 1:49:22Speaker 4: ensuring that our population, including our kids, are healthy and
- 1:49:25Speaker 4: able to thrive. And when I'm talking about becoming a
- 1:49:28Speaker 4: zero income tax state and bringing down the property taxes,
- 1:49:31Speaker 4: that's to bring those high paying jobs back to the
- 1:49:33Speaker 4: state so you do have that stable economic foundation from
- 1:49:37Speaker 4: which to achieve more. That's where we are, Brian, and
- 1:49:40Speaker 4: I think that there's a lot of people that cost
- 1:49:42Speaker 4: the political spectrum that would rather throw up their hands
- 1:49:45Speaker 4: and complain and say, you know, find something to be
- 1:49:49Speaker 4: upset about. My goal is to find solutions, Okay. My
- 1:49:52Speaker 4: goal is to improve the lives of the people in
- 1:49:54Speaker 4: this state so every kid in Ohio can live the
- 1:49:58Speaker 4: same American dream that I I haven't achieved so much more,
- 1:50:02Speaker 4: and I believe that's possible, and that's why I'm running.
- 1:50:05Speaker 4: But again, that decision. The beauty of our system, our
- 1:50:08Speaker 4: constitutional republic, in this two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of
- 1:50:11Speaker 4: our declaration of independence, is that's not up to me.
- 1:50:15Speaker 1: It isn't up to It's up to you.
- 1:50:17Speaker 4: It's up to us well, and it requires everyone to
- 1:50:19Speaker 4: show up, do their part, and shape the future they
- 1:50:23Speaker 4: want to see rather than to be shaped by it,
- 1:50:27Speaker 4: which is what's going to happen if we put a
- 1:50:28Speaker 4: socialist in charge.
- 1:50:29Speaker 1: Dare I say Reagan esque inspiring message, which is always
- 1:50:33Speaker 1: what I get from you, vv ramas So, which is
- 1:50:34Speaker 1: why I'm in favor of you. I love your platform,
- 1:50:36Speaker 1: I love your policies, I love your embracing of the
- 1:50:38Speaker 1: American dream. I love the fact that you live the
- 1:50:41Speaker 1: American dream and are in fact a poster child for
- 1:50:43Speaker 1: what it can bring about with the freedoms and liberties
- 1:50:46Speaker 1: and our constitution guarantees. Vote v Vague Ramaswami in November, VIVI,

- 1:52:17Speaker 1: I love you know what, Judge right in a Poultown.
- 1:52:19Speaker 1: I didn't respond to your email yesterday. I had a
- 1:52:22Speaker 1: very busy day, but I wanted to tell you, my friend,
- 1:52:25Speaker 1: I loved this column. Yeah, I mean right out in
- 1:52:30Speaker 1: the gate Wickered versus Philburn, all the way through the
- 1:52:32Speaker 1: Alien Seditions Act, and all the other ways that war,
- 1:52:35Speaker 1: as an example, erodes the liberties and freedoms guaranteed by
- 1:52:38Speaker 1: our Constitution. This is a brilliant one man, not that
- 1:52:41Speaker 1: they all aren't, but I just thoroughly enjoyed this, most
- 1:52:44Speaker 1: notably because you started off with Wickered. So welcome back, sir,
- 1:52:47Speaker 1: Thank you know, thank you.
- 1:52:48Speaker 5: Brian.
- 1:52:49Speaker 11: Wickered is the name of the case in which the
- 1:52:53Speaker 11: Supreme Court allowed the federal government to regulate a farmer's
- 1:52:56Speaker 11: field which grew wheat, all of which was ground into
- 1:53:01Speaker 11: flour and put into bake goods, all of which was
- 1:53:05Speaker 11: consumed by the farmer's family. The Supreme Court under the
- 1:53:08Speaker 11: interstate Commerce clause. Of course, there was no commerce, and
- 1:53:12Speaker 11: nothing moved to interstate allowed federal regulation of that. But
- 1:53:16Speaker 11: here's a little footnote. Before Chief Justice Roberts changed his
- 1:53:21Speaker 11: mind on the Affordable Care Act, now we're talking about Obamacare.
- 1:53:26Speaker 11: It's twenty twelve. Justice Scalia told me the original draft
- 1:53:31Speaker 11: of the opinion repealed Wickered versus Philburn, something that he
- 1:53:37Speaker 11: and some of his colleagues have been yearning to do
- 1:53:40Speaker 11: since they were in law school, like you and on.
- 1:53:43Speaker 11: But then in order to cobble together whatever majority they had,
- 1:53:49Speaker 11: they had to get rid of the repeal of Wicked
- 1:53:51Speaker 11: against Philburn. I happened to know that Justices Gorsich and
- 1:53:56Speaker 11: Barrett are in favor of repealing Wicked against Philburn as well.
- 1:54:00Speaker 11: And even though this is a name not familiar to
- 1:54:03Speaker 11: the public, this is the opinion that has unleashed mammoth
- 1:54:09Speaker 11: amounts of federal regulations. Once this is repealed, Congress will
- 1:54:13Speaker 11: be put back in the box where the Constitution has
- 1:54:17Speaker 11: supposedly was written to keep it a man.
- 1:54:21Speaker 1: And you know, one of the points you made in
- 1:54:22Speaker 1: the article, which is a profound and brilliant point you
- 1:54:24Speaker 1: made when you were on Fox Business. You said, listen,
- 1:54:26Speaker 1: everybody in the room. I tell you what, look around.
- 1:54:29Speaker 1: Find anything in this studio that is not regulated by
- 1:54:32Speaker 1: the federal government. And as you pointed out, literally everything is.
- 1:54:35Speaker 1: You know, you talk about the height of the chair
- 1:54:36Speaker 1: and the color of the walls. Everybody, the pigment of
- 1:54:39Speaker 1: the pain is regulated. The cameras used a video camera,
- 1:54:42Speaker 1: the Fox Business segment all regulated by the federal government.
- 1:54:45Speaker 1: And the only way they got in is because of
- 1:54:47Speaker 1: Wicker versus Philburn and the gift that I might interject.
- 1:54:51Speaker 1: I know Obamacare was upheld in don't even get me
- 1:54:55Speaker 1: started on that. But the one thing that we did
- 1:54:57Speaker 1: enjoy by way of that decision is at least a
- 1:55:00Speaker 1: profound statement that the commerce clause cannot be used to
- 1:55:04Speaker 1: force us to engage in commerce, which is exactly what
- 1:55:07Speaker 1: Obamacare did by forcing you to buy a policy.
- 1:55:10Speaker 11: Correct, that language might have impaired a little bit of wickered,
- 1:55:15Speaker 11: the portion of wickered that says by not by baking
- 1:55:20Speaker 11: their own goods and not buying from the grosser, they
- 1:55:25Speaker 11: impaired interstate commerce. That aspect that the government can't force
- 1:55:30Speaker 11: you to engage in interstate commerce may have clipped a
- 1:55:32Speaker 11: little bit of Wickered's wings, but it's still around. It
- 1:55:35Speaker 11: needs a stake through its heart.
- 1:55:37Speaker 1: What would the world, our world, our government right now
- 1:55:41Speaker 1: look like if Wickered versus Philburn had not been decided
- 1:55:44Speaker 1: by the Supreme Court along the lines that decided, Well.
- 1:55:47Speaker 11: We'd have a lot more state regulations. And as Ronald
- 1:55:50Speaker 11: Reagan used to say, can vote with your feet. If
- 1:55:52Speaker 11: you want to live with us a lot of regulations,
- 1:55:54Speaker 11: go to Massachusetts or New Jersey. If you want to
- 1:55:57Speaker 11: live where there's more freedom, go to Ohio or ra Texas.
- 1:56:01Speaker 11: If you want to live in the People's Republic, go
- 1:56:03Speaker 11: to California. It would be different state by state.
- 1:56:07Speaker 1: Now pivoting over to the I wanted to get involved
- 1:56:09Speaker 1: getting the Alien Seditions Acts, which you brilliantly brought up,
- 1:56:12Speaker 1: because it shows how long this has been going on.
- 1:56:15Speaker 1: John Adams, you point out, fought a war against France,
- 1:56:18Speaker 1: no congressional declaration of war, and then he asked Congress
- 1:56:21Speaker 1: to an act the Alien Seditions Act, which criminalized speech
- 1:56:25Speaker 1: words disparaging the war effort. Now that that passed through
- 1:56:30Speaker 1: is crazy. But you can see and you even mentioned,
- 1:56:31Speaker 1: you know, some of the founding fathers were still around
- 1:56:33Speaker 1: when this happened, and they started curbing this freach that
- 1:56:36Speaker 1: they guaranteed in the First Amendment. This has been going
- 1:56:39Speaker 1: on since the Constitution was basically enacted.
- 1:56:42Speaker 11: Correct, correct, So how can the same generation and in
- 1:56:47Speaker 11: some cases the same human beings who had just ratified
- 1:56:50Speaker 11: the First Amendment Congress shall make a law abridging the
- 1:56:53Speaker 11: freedom of speech, have voted for legislation that impaired the
- 1:56:57Speaker 11: freedom of speech. You know, there's a very famous case
- 1:57:00Speaker 11: involving the Thomas Massey of his day, Congressman Matthew Lyons
- 1:57:07Speaker 11: of Vermont who mocked the president's waistline by calling him
- 1:57:13Speaker 11: your rotundity, and for that he was indicted under the
- 1:57:17Speaker 11: Alienates Edition Act, and for that he was convicted of
- 1:57:22Speaker 11: impairing the government with his speech. And then when Thomas
- 1:57:27Speaker 11: Jefferson defeated John Adams and Congressman Lyons term was over,
- 1:57:34Speaker 11: he went to Washington and was handed a pardon by
- 1:57:38Speaker 11: Thomas Jefferson, which resulted in the return of his four
- 1:57:42Speaker 11: hundred and twenty acre farm in Vermont that the Feds
- 1:57:45Speaker 11: had seized as part of the penalty for mocking the
- 1:57:49Speaker 11: president's waistline under the Alien's Edition.
- 1:57:52Speaker 3: Actually can't make this up.
- 1:57:53Speaker 11: It's a famous but it's an infamous and little known
- 1:57:57Speaker 11: case of a member of Congress executed for something he
- 1:58:01Speaker 11: said outside the Capitol Building, which was nothing more than
- 1:58:04Speaker 11: mocking the waistline of an overweight president.
- 1:58:08Speaker 1: Well, and case after case after that, and you talk
- 1:58:11Speaker 1: about the interment of the Japanese during World War two,
- 1:58:13Speaker 1: you talk about prosecuting opponents of the draft during World
- 1:58:17Speaker 1: War One, all related to the Alien's Editions Act. So
- 1:58:19Speaker 1: we have been guilty of ignoring the fundamental freedoms guarantee
- 1:58:24Speaker 1: of our constitution for years and years and longer than
- 1:58:27Speaker 1: I care to realize. But that's the brilliance of your column.
- 1:58:30Speaker 1: And using war as a fear mechanism is quite often
- 1:58:33Speaker 1: the predicate for it, because of course war and that
- 1:58:36Speaker 1: justifies eroding freedoms and liberties. Asked the Japanese who were
- 1:58:39Speaker 1: in turned into World War Two? But the Senate passed
- 1:58:42Speaker 1: the War Powers Resolution yesterday. I'm sure you saw that
- 1:58:44Speaker 1: pursuit of the War Powers Resolution in nineteen seventy three.
- 1:58:47Speaker 1: So the House and the Senator both passed it. But
- 1:58:50Speaker 1: it's an illusory if you want the war to stop,
- 1:58:52Speaker 1: and if you think the Congress is exercising its appropriate
- 1:58:55Speaker 1: authority and having some control over it. The War Powers
- 1:58:58Speaker 1: Resolution hasn't ever been tested in court, and I think
- 1:59:02Speaker 1: the language of the resolution itself says that it does
- 1:59:05Speaker 1: not need the president's signature, and I understand nineteen eighty
- 1:59:07Speaker 1: three Supreme Court Kate said no, no, you got to
- 1:59:10Speaker 1: have the president's signature or signature or veto for it
- 1:59:12Speaker 1: to have legal effect. This is the first time both
- 1:59:15Speaker 1: houses have voted pursuing to the War Powers resolution. So
- 1:59:19Speaker 1: off to court we go, Your honor, is that where
- 1:59:21Speaker 1: we're headed next?
- 1:59:22Speaker 11: Well, I don't think so. Because it's a concurrent resolution.
- 1:59:27Speaker 3: It has no teeth.
- 1:59:28Speaker 11: It's just the opinion of the members of Congress. If
- 1:59:33Speaker 11: this concurrent resolution had said, thus, shalt not spend any
- 1:59:37Speaker 11: federal dollars in Iran, then it would have gone to
- 1:59:41Speaker 11: his desk. He would have vetoed it, and then they
- 1:59:43Speaker 11: would have to override the veto. If they overrode the
- 1:59:46Speaker 11: veto and he still spent the money, then we have
- 1:59:49Speaker 11: a constitutional.
- 1:59:50Speaker 1: Crisis power right now, right now, Even though This is the.
- 1:59:55Speaker 11: First time this has happened since nineteen seventy three when
- 2:00:00Speaker 11: the War Powers Resolution was enacted. It's political, not legal.
- 2:00:06Speaker 11: At this point, they are not going to get into
- 2:00:10Speaker 11: thou shalt not spend because they have more pressing things
- 2:00:14Speaker 11: on their minds and don't want to fight this.
- 2:00:16Speaker 1: Fight, so they could stop it by defunding it. But
- 2:00:22Speaker 1: they don't hurt the votes to defund it, and if
- 2:00:24Speaker 1: they did, they don't have a veto proof majority at
- 2:00:26Speaker 1: least as of yet, because the Trump would would veto
- 2:00:30Speaker 1: any spending limitations.
- 2:00:31Speaker 11: Correct, even though sixty five percent of the nation is
- 2:00:36Speaker 11: opposed to the war and in favor of an ending
- 2:00:39Speaker 11: sixty five percent. It's almost like the Vietnam years.
- 2:00:43Speaker 1: Yeah, and they could have defunded the Vietnam War throughout
- 2:00:45Speaker 1: the Vietnam ears, couldn't they have?
- 2:00:47Speaker 3: Correct? Correct?
- 2:00:50Speaker 1: Read the column it comes out tonight. I'm just lucky
- 2:00:52Speaker 1: enough to get an early copy of a Judge Napolitano
- 2:00:55Speaker 1: brilliant as always. I appreciate your thoughtful analysis and your
- 2:00:58Speaker 1: profound respect for the supreme law of the land, and
- 2:01:02Speaker 1: real quick I have to ask you this because the
- 2:01:04Speaker 1: Democratic Socialist of America platform has come out. So all
- 2:01:08Speaker 1: the DSA folks out there that are apparently doing quite
- 2:01:10Speaker 1: well in New York City, for example, that platform is
- 2:01:14Speaker 1: a rebuke of our constitution. It seeks to fundamentally alter it,
- 2:01:19Speaker 1: change it profoundly. So could a representative, a DSA representative
- 2:01:24Speaker 1: being sworn into office with a straight face, swear to
- 2:01:28Speaker 1: uphold the Constitution of the United States when their own
- 2:01:30Speaker 1: platform promises to destroy it.
- 2:01:34Speaker 11: I don't know the answer to that. But if he
- 2:01:36Speaker 11: fails to take the oath, he can't be seated.
- 2:01:38Speaker 3: That's the law of the land.
- 2:01:39Speaker 11: The Constitution itself requires everybody who works for the government,
- 2:01:44Speaker 11: from a school board janitor to the governor of a
- 2:01:47Speaker 11: state to a lowly buck private to the President of
- 2:01:51Speaker 11: the United States, must take substantially similar odes, all of
- 2:01:55Speaker 11: which promise loyalty to the Constitution of the United States.
- 2:01:59Speaker 11: I don't know what these lefties will do. We'll find out,
- 2:02:02Speaker 11: and they'll win in November, because there's no Republican party
- 2:02:05Speaker 11: to speak of here in Manhattan.
- 2:02:08Speaker 3: We'll find out.
- 2:02:09Speaker 1: Well ice in January. I suspect when the words I
- 2:02:12Speaker 1: do come out of their mouths, they'll just be lying,
- 2:02:15Speaker 1: like most politicians do. Judge enit, Judge, Jenna Politano. We'll
- 2:02:19Speaker 1: talk next Wenesday. I hope you have a wonderful week
- 2:02:21Speaker 1: between now and then, Sir, back.
- 2:02:23Speaker 11: At you, Brian, thank you for your kind comments about
- 2:02:25Speaker 11: the article. All the best and my best distractor.
- 2:02:27Speaker 1: Yeah and destructor. Thank you, my friend,
