  Speaker 1: 505-55KRC, the talk station. Happy Tuesday.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: One week. Sugar, use a vacation.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: And that's the way.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: The news goes. It is indeed. Whether you like it
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: or not, Brian Thomas right here. And Joe Strecker, executive
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: producer in there. Ray Blunt. And Vivek Ramos, join me
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: in the program coming up at 6.05, one hour from now.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it'll be the last time he
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: shows on the morning show before the election next week,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: but tick-tock, tick-tock. I'd like to point out, one week away,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: I hope you voted or you seriously plan on getting
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: out and vote. Continuing a theme here on the 55KRC
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Morning Show. And, of course, it being Tuesday, kind of
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: a regular lineup for Tuesday. at least in part, beyond
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Vivek Ramasamy.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: Dr.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Jay Rissover always joins the program on Tuesdays. Let us
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: know about the Empower You America series. We'll do that
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: at 7.05. Got the Trenton residents fighting Amazon's Artificial Intelligence Center. Okay,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: you can go ahead and fight. Can't unring the bell
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: of the reality of artificial intelligence. We also have the
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: hero of the American Revolution, Nathaniel Green. That's the subject
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: matter for the 29th seminar. So, details from Dr. Jay.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: 7.30 with Tom Zalastowski from wethepeopleconvention.org. how the left is
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: going to protest the election results. I think that continues
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: a theme I mentioned yesterday. At least, you know, insofar
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: as the polls are concerned, there are a lot of
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: left-leaning politicians out here in the United States that are
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: talking about Trump stealing this election. Next Tuesday, the one
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: where we're going to have this massive blue wave. Of course,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: you've got to tell the world that is to expect
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: a massive blue wave. ginning people's expectations up that this
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: is a foregone conclusion, maybe keeping Republicans from getting up
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: and even bothering to vote, which I hope does not happen.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: But then there's really the flip side of that is, well,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: maybe they don't believe that it's going to be a
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: blue wave. Maybe they believe the Republicans are going to
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: come out in force and overwhelm the Democrats, who really
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: don't have a whole lot of enthusiasm either. Now, put
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: yourself in a Democrat position, and you're not one of
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: the far left-leaning El-Sayed candidates in there, and you're worried
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: about the direction of your party. Are you enthused? Does Dr.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Amy Acton really want to get you up off the
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: couch and go vote for her? Unless you are an
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: overly sympathetic person. Anyway, but I'm not sure that the
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Democrats have this level of enthusiasm, but how would I
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: possibly know? We can't count on polls. But if there
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: is a retention of the House and Senate by the Republicans,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: they're going to pull their hair out and go into
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: a frenzy claiming the election has been stolen. You can
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: see it written on the wall. It's a foregone conclusion.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: I suspect maybe that's where Tom's going this morning, but
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: we'll hear from him at 7.30. Inside scoop with Breitbart News.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Marxist protests all over Europe. That's the subject matter for
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Breitbart News. London Bureau Chief Oliver Lane, who returns to
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: the program at 8.05, talk about that for the inside scoop.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Daniel Davis, deep dive, latest on Iran. And an interesting
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: thing out of the United Kingdom I want to get
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: to here. It's just a second. Plus... Phone calls, which
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I love hearing from you. 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK, found 550 on
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: AT & T phones. Well, real quick here on the
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: data center thing. I saw Microsoft just announced buyouts for
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: 60,000 employees, a quarter of Microsoft's entire workforce. Welcome to
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: artificial intelligence. And I can only imagine a lot of
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: those jobs are pretty high-paying jobs, just speculating on that.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: But anyway, 60,000. Microsoft had about 223,000 employees at the
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: time the most recent memo went out. But last year,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: the company laid off 9,000 employees, offering voluntary retirement to
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: older employees who had been working at Microsoft for an
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: extended period of time. So the numbers keep growing, and
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: that clearly is a direct relation to artificial intelligence making, well,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: I guess, employees obsolete on some level. And I understand
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: that's a reason to hate AI data centers, but They're
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: not going away. Artificial intelligence isn't. That would be the
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: looming threat out there. Anyway, pivoting over, I saw two things,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: and I thought of Bobby who calls and mentions the
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: three-day window, and you only got 72 hours. Are you prepared? Basically,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: are you prepared? Our own government has reminded the people
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: over and over again. You can check on the websites
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: about preparedness. You should have some food set away just
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: in case it hits the fan. What might it be? Oh,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe gas. High winds from a hurricane
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: blow through and shut the power off to your neighborhood
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: for more than a week. That did happen here. Or
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: maybe your power grid gets attacked. That did happen here.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: United Kingdom. British Defense Secretary Wes Streeting said the country
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: has to be ready for war within 1,000 days, advising
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: citizens to stock up on essential supplies.
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: Huh.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Article appeared in the Telegraph over the weekend. He's warning
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: the United Kingdom's enemies could be ready to launch an
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: attack by 2030. Now, I don't know where he came
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: up with that figure. It doesn't matter. But it's the
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: warning that is really critical here, especially in the context
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: of what we're doing here. He said the danger probably
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: wouldn't come through conventional military action. Hybrid war. Disrupting technology
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: and disinformation campaigns. Those pose a threat. The gravest dangers
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: of the 20th century are returning armed with the technologies
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: of the 21st, but the threat to Britain is not
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: simply one of conventional warfare or Russian tanks rolling across
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: our borders. It is also the growing threat of state-sponsored terrorism, sabotage,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: and hostile acts designed to disrupt our lives, undermine our security,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: and spread fear in our communities. Huh. Now, I read that. Now,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: he's veiled these warnings with suggestions of Russia being behind
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: all of this, and I'm going to ask Daniel Davis
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: about that because I personally am not of the mind
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: the Russians are inclined to go launch war against the
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: United Kingdom. Now, am I saying the United Kingdom shouldn't
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: be prepared for that contingency? Of course not. European Union
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: should have been prepared for dealing with defending themselves for
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: all those years while relying upon the United States to
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: fund their defense. Well, they increased their social welfare states.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Didn't work out real well for them, did it? But
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: in any event, I thought of Iran on that because
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Iran has already threatened to target Americans, generally speaking, and
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: American interests, generally speaking. And his point about the oceans
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: separating us, which has always been the idea here in
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: the United States, we don't have anything to worry about.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: They're going to cross the Atlantic or Pacific to start
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: launching an attack on that. Right. You don't have to
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: do that anymore. You've already seen that. The Chinese Communist
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Party threatening our infrastructure back in February 2024. From the NSA,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: federal agencies warned that Chinese state-sponsored hackers linked to Volt
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Typhoon had compromised critical U.S. infrastructure networks, including energy, water, transportation,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: and communication systems. It's happened already. And then you have
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: the lone gunman, maybe state-sponsored lone wolf actors back in
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: December of 22. You may recall the gunman attacked two
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: electrical substations in North Carolina, 45,000 people without power for
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: five days because of two guys with rifles. It can happen.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: But back over to the UK. His comments, this following
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: a launch of the United Kingdom government campaign just five,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: six days ago to prepare the country for potential breakdown
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: in essential services. Brits urged to stock nine liters of
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: bottled water, three days' worth of food. Oh, that sounds familiar,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: to ensure that they can survive in the event of
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: a weather emergency, cyber emergency or other critical emergency, of course,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: like the grid being knocked out. on a broad scale
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: or a small scale. Parents with babies advise keep a
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: supply of essential products. All households urge to have blankets, cash,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: first aid kit, flashlight with batteries, wind-up FM radio. I
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: think an AM radio would work too. It doesn't matter
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: as long as you have access to some communication because
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: the internet probably won't be working. Labor Prime Minister Andy Burnham.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: It's not about panicking. It's about taking sensible measures to
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: have enough in the house to tide you over should
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: there be a difficult situation. Unexpected events, he said, sadly
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: in the world we're in, are becoming more likely. And
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: earlier this month, Sir Ken McCollum, Director of General Domestic
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Intelligence for MI5, calling for the whole of society effort
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: to protect the United Kingdom against threats to national infrastructure.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: warning hostile states could exploit vulnerabilities in the country's financial systems,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: energy grid and supply chains. These are all very legitimate points,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: and how can you argue with them when we are
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: constantly surrounded by attacks on various systems? Dave Hatter talks
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: about it all the time through the Internet of Things devices,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: but also routers, chips from China that have spying capabilities
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: on them, interfere with our systems. And McCollum gave a
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: couple of examples. banking app hack that could block people
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: out of their accounts hence the recommendation you got some
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: cash laying around the house drone attacks on airport runways
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: leaving travelers stranded stranded cyber attacks on local hospitals delaying
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: treatment the list of list of possibilities is almost endless
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: but i saw that and i also saw this on
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: the same day hmm doomsday Department of Defense, this is
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: from Fox News, Department of Defense preparing for a potential
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: doomsday scenario. For example, America's power grid collapsing supply chain.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: grinding to a halt. What are the military installations going
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: to do? Well, they're sure not going to rely on
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: our civilian grid. The unprecedented plan called FORTRESS, all caps FORTRESS.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: This is a Pentagon plan seeking to make military bases
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: in the United States impossible. capable of functioning independently for
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: at least 90 days. Department of Defense spokesperson Sean Parnell,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: we don't want to rely on standard civilian municipal infrastructure
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: to run our national defense. We simply can't. It's an
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: intolerable risk. You know what he's referring to there? Your grid,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: my grid, the grid that we peons out here in
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: the real world live on. It's not sufficient to satisfy
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: military needs.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Huh.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: I personally would like an electric grid that, well, can
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: satisfy military needs. It means we get the extent of
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: a reliable and forced grid the same way the military does.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: But what does the Pentagon want? Portable nuclear reactors.
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: Hmm.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: If we could only have those ourselves. Massive battery installations,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: independent microgrids that allow bases to disconnect from civilian power
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: systems during prolonged blackouts that you and I will be
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: dealing with. They write, officials have long feared that the
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: loss of electricity could cripple communications logistics, weapons productions, and
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: military command structures. Of course it would. This fortress plan
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: portally calls for, huh, the military's being advised to do
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: a little bit of what they've asked us to do,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: although in different categories. Although this sounds like a good
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: one for the regular Joe out there, stockpiling ammunition. There's one. Also, fuel,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: critical minerals, electronics, spare parts, medical supplies, while preparing civilian
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: factories to rapidly transition to wartime production. I'm glad they're
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: being forward-thinking with the risks that swirl around us constantly.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: They're at least thinking about it, and now they appear
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: to be taking steps to actually plan for the inevitable,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: and I think it probably is inevitable. Sean Parnell, I
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: realize that a lot of the way we think about
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: homeland defense was built around the antiquated assumption that two
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: oceans would protect us, going back to the point I
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: made earlier. And they also point out the America power
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: grid could get hit by both foreign or domestic saboteurs.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: You don't want to be making these decisions in the
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: middle of a global multi-front conflict. We have to have
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: a plan, he said. Yep. Probably a good idea. I
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: don't want to be alarmist this morning, but, you know,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: it does make a lot of sense. 518-55-KRC-TALK-STATION. Gary, hang on, brother.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: I just looked up and saw you were there. Well,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: I rambled on to get that out of my system.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: We've got more to talk about this morning. I'll be
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: right back.
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: This is 55KRC and I heart.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Stay happy Tuesday. 513-749-5500-800-823-TALK. Honor flight is tonight. I got
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: the New Hampshire Gary one second here.
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Last flight of the season. It is tonight. So if
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: you have it in you and you want to, uh,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: it just feel patriotism flow through your veins and God
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: knows we can use a shot of it. You get
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: it tonight. Rally, uh, welcome home rally, CVG departure level.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: See eight 30 PM is good time to get there.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: I think the, uh, The folks get off the flight
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: roughly around 9 p.m. If you want to get there early,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: lots of people go, and I am so pleased with that.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: So bring the kids, bring the family, load up the car,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: the van, show up at CVG tonight. New Hampshire, Gary,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: thank you for calling this morning, holding over the break.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Welcome back.
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: Absolutely. How are you doing, Brian?
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: I'm doing well.
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: I'm alive. I'm as healthy as I guess I could be,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: so I'm okay. Beyond that, not feeling really good as
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: we fast approach next Tuesday.
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah. I can tell you there's shenanigans probably already going on.
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: I follow Jake Lang on X, and he's along with
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: Nick Shirley. They discovered a post office inside of a mosque,
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: and they have their own private security to get white
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: people out there. It's the bizarrest thing. And the only
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: reason I could think that they have a post office
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: inside of a mosque is is probably because they're coupling
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: money back and forth to African countries.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Well, we can speculate all day long, and fine, let's
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: just go ahead and speculate. I don't know what they're doing.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Engaging in criminal activity. Maybe they're just sending letters to
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: their friends. Doesn't matter. I'm just wondering how in the
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: hell a post office, federal property, federal entity, organization can
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: end up inside a religious organization or a mosque or
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: even a church or a synagogue, for that matter. How
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: is that possible? How is that lawful? I mean, Where
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: are the wailing and gnashing of teeth about separation of
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: church and state, for example?
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: You would think that that's funny. Now I'm going to
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: start sounding like somebody else, you know. Stay frosty, Mom.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Exactly, Gary. Stay frosty. Keep your head on a swivel.
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: You know, they're coming. Be prepared.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Bobby's out there this morning. He's nodding in approval right now.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: The message has gotten out. It's like Tom with Don't
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Vote Democrats. Good morning to also retired Colonel Bob Katire,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: who's where he's the guy I got the stay frosty
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: comment from, because, of course, he typically ends his emails
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: and other communications with stay frosty. But you should. You know,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: I have a difficult time following the advice and heeding
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: the advice of those who talk about things like that.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Like when you enter a room full of people, you know,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: be alert, look around. look at people's actions, look at
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: their facial expressions, look at what they're wearing. In other words,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: try to identify potential threats. I'm just really of the mind,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: I don't want to really have to live my life
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: that way. It may be the prudent, best possible advice
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: to give, but if you're trying to find some positivity
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: in the world, something where you can look at and say, gosh,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: I'm glad to be alive. I'm I'm blessed to be
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: living in the United States of America. And behind in
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: the back of your head, you're always worried about someone
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: showing up with a gun and shooting you or otherwise
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: engaging in some criminal act toward you. Kind of bursts
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: the bubble of that moment in time, doesn't it? Man,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: I have a difficult enough time living in the moment
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: just as it is, but to throw in this constant
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: concern over threats around me, this really doesn't make life
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: that much more fun. I'm sorry, just the way I
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: feel about it. Do I try to be that way? Yeah,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: when I'm thinking about it, but the default position in
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: my head isn't always that way. I may live to
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: regret that. But I will not argue against the advice. Yeah,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: sound advice. Stay frosty. 525-55-KRC-D Talk Station. Local stories. Funny
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: local story here with Cincinnati City Council. Wonder what we're
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: going to do with all this marijuana tax money we've
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: got laying around. Wait till you hear what they're planning
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: on it. More of that and a whole lot more
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: coming up. Don't go away.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: 55KRC.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: 55KRC, the talk station.
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: Don't vote Democrat.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Here's Tom. 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK. Breaking stories. Thank you, Joe Strecker.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: This is a day-to-day event, isn't it, Joe? Last night,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: police investigated two shootings in Hamilton. First one, 6.30 p.m.,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: South Front Street, Pershing, sending a man to the hospital
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: with a gunshot wound. Second, a few hours later on
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Shuler Avenue, that woman recovering in the hospital. No arrests
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: yet on that. And then over to the city of
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Cincinnati facing another, well, setback. The fire chief's lawsuit, apparently.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Got that. Can't see it. Video camera, video story on
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: that one. But more information about Chief Washington's saga, which will,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: of course, not end well for the, well, at least
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Cheryl Long. Okay, over to the marijuana tax. It's kind
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: of funny. Break down the numbers on this for me.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Since I counseled. Approve proposed funding for the marijuana money. Oh,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: my God, we're going to get all this money coming in.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: What are we talking about here? According to the state's website,
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Cincinnati received more than $ 1. 5 million from Ohio's marijuana tax.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Council members say the city's averaging about $ 1. 8 million per year.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: What do you do with it? Well, city leaders suggested
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: yesterday they want money to go towards people who were
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: impacted when marijuana was illegal in Cincinnati.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Huh.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: That's everybody. Right, Joe? That's exactly what I was trying
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: to process in my head. Anyhow, under the proposed plan,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: here's where the numbers get kind of wonky on me. 25%
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: of the funds will go toward home repairs. 25% will
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: go toward removing lead paint hazards. And 20% would help
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: people buy homes. Well, let's break it down. So if
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: you look at 25% of $ 1. 8 million, take the higher figure,
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: that's $ 450, 000. That means $ 450, 000 for home repairs for a
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: city of how many people? How many neighborhoods? How many
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: houses can you count? I don't think that adds up
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: to a whole lot of money for home repairs when
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: you break it down on a house-by-house basis. Anyway, $ 450, 000
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: for removal of lead paint. I can't even speculate how
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: much one house is to remove lead paint. I imagine...
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Depending on how much lead paint is in any given house,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: it would vary pretty wildly. Also, imagine it's probably expensive,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: considering the hazmat suits and the biohazard and all that
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: that lead paint represents. But then the more interesting figure
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: is 20% to help people buy homes. That's a leftover amount, 360, well, 20%
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: of the of the 1.8 is $ 360, 000. Well, if, if
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: you just grab an arbitrary figure, like $ 200, 000 for a very,
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: very modest home, 20% down is 40 grand. That's nine homes.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know how they plan on, you know,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: quote-unquote helping people buy homes, but if you're only playing
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: with $ 360, 000, I don't know how much help you can
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: possibly provide. But, okay. According to Mark Jeffries, this will
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: go disproportionately to what we call our left neighborhoods. I
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: don't think he means political, although you can make a joke.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: To the neighborhoods that are probably lower income, and that's
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: typically when you think about people who need help repairing
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: something to stay in their homes or First-time ownership, our
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: home ownership rate is really quite low. He said it's
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: one of the lowest in the country, so we need
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: to create wealth and make sure people have the opportunity
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: to do that. How much wealth can you create with $ 360, 000? Anyway,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: the remaining money, $ 540, 000, based on my math, split evenly
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: between children's savings accounts and the city's youth-to-work program. Dust
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: off the award, Joe Strecker. We're going to give it
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: to a local boy. Wyoming guy facing decades in prison,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: and I hope he enjoys every moment of it as
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: I pull my tongue out of my cheek. Pleading guilty
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: to raping a young girl. Barry Beddenkop, 61 years old.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Probably going to be everybody's best friend in prison, and
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: I don't mean that in a positive way. Sexually abused
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: the victim over the course of several years, and investigators
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: say they believed It started when she was very young,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: faced more than 20 years before pleading guilty to two
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: counts of rape in the plea deal. The abuse investigation
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: became public when he was arrested in May of 25
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: after a concerned neighbor called police. Former police detective Patrick
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Sublett signed to the case. He had this to say,
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: I've probably investigated thousands of cases and this case is
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: at the top of my list for the most vile crime. horrific,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: and disgusting cases I have ever investigated. They say the
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: abuse began when the girl was as young as five
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: years old and included rape and confinement in a dog
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: kennel at home in Springfield Pike in Wyoming. Criminal complaint
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: says he attempted to admit to putting the child in
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: a closet during the investigation. Prosecutors said the girl was
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: also threatened if she didn't obey. Prosecutors say investigators found
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: images of the girl and two other young victims on
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: his computers. Before imposing the sentence, Hamilton County Common Pleas
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Court Judge Pat Dinkalocker, awesome guy he is. He apparently
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: doesn't usually comment. He says it's not his job. This,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: an exception. I just, I will go to my grave
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: not understanding people like you. About a point of statement
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: as Judge Dinkalocker will ever make. Anyway, sentenced him to
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: 22 to 33 and a half years in prison. He
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: had nothing to say when given an opportunity in court
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: to have a word or two. Didn't even apologize to
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: the victim or the family. Hey, Joe, you think he's
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: having a good time in prison right now?
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: Here he is, the biggest douche of the universe.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: 20 years of it. In all the galaxies, there's no
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: bigger douche than you. You've reached the top, the pinnacle
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: of douchedom. Good going, douche. Your dreams have come true.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Give him a couple more.
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: 24-7.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: 535-55KRC, the talk station. Stack is Stupid coming your way,
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: or your phone calls coming my way. Either way we go,
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: it's okay with me. Be right back. This is 55KRC.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Stack is Stupid. First reminder, 55KRC. iHeart. com. That's the place where
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: you find the podcast. Signal 99, full hour in studio.

  Speaker 2: Primarily focused on the, well... Miserable state of affairs going
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: on in the juvenile court under Judge Bloom. Please vote
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: for Lucan, please. Smitherman, episode 158. Don't believe the polls?
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Get out and vote. And a breakdown analysis from Steve
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Gooden on the Hinton trial verdict, which is, wow, this
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: doesn't make sense. How can you be guilty of reckless homicide,
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: which is no intent there, just an accident, and also
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: be guilty of murder, which requires some measure of intent?
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: They did that, convicted on both. So I don't think
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: you can reconcile that. And I'm with Steve Gooden and
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: probably will result in a new trial on that one.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: But check out what Steve had to say. Brilliant he is.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: You can feel free to call. Otherwise, we're going to
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: go to the stack of stupid. Let's go to Florida.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: 45-year-old woman facing charges of attempted first-degree murder and arson.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Investigators say she set a man on fire in an
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: attempt to kill him. Why are you doing that? Miami-Dade
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: deputies arrested Tanisha Shelton. Saturday in unincorporated area of Miami-Dade County,
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office said deputies responded to the scene after
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: receiving reports of a person who'd been set on fire.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: They say Shelton and the 33-year-old victim got into an
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: argument before she left the area and returned a few
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: hours later carrying a white plastic bag. Just walk away. Amen, brother.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: According to investigators, she poured the unknown accelerant onto the
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: man and used a lighter to set him on fire.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Witness told deputies they used pepper spray on Shelton after
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: she tried to run away. Victim later found unconscious, burns
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: over 80% of his body. First responders took him to
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: the trauma center in extremely critical condition.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Geez wheeze.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: All right, don't put your finger on the trigger unless
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: you're planning on using it and shooting somebody. We've got
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: a Virginia where we've got a man accused of shooting
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: a college senior to death while showing her a gun
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: in the parking lot of... Where is it? Where's your guess?
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Walmart or Waffle House? Waffle House. Matthew Crosland, 23, charged
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: with involuntary manslaughter, reckless handling of a firearm. Dead is
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: 22-year-old Samaj Coleman. She was a student at Norfolk State University.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Arrived to the hospital with life-threatening injuries and, of course,
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: later she died of the gunshot wound. Cops say the
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: shooting occurred at the Waffle House. On East Virginia Beach Boulevard,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: criminal complaint obtained by local news said Crosland and Coleman
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: were among a group of friends at the restaurant. Two
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: were talking about guns when Crosland allegedly pulled one out
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: and was showing it to her when it went off.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: He pulled his gun out, Joe, and it went off.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: And it hit her in the chest. Investigators concluded there
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: was no argument. Plymouth investigation determined the shooting to be
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: accidental and to have taken place in a parking lot. Gosling,
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: sitting in the Norfolk City Jail without bond. He'll be
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: in court again on November 2nd.
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: Lord Almighty, no kidding. You want to check the chamber
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: and see if it's loaded? Keep your finger off the trigger, maybe?
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Florida mother allegedly left her four children alone for multiple
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: days while she traveled to Las Vegas to work. And
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: while she was gone, her 9-year-old son hurt himself when
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: he dropped a dumbbell on his head. That's what brought
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: authorities into the picture. Irene Miller, 50 years old, facing
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: four counts of child neglect. This is in Osceola County.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: According to the sheriff's office in a press release, they
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: showed up at 8.30 p.m. October 21st to this home
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: in Kissimmee after a child called to say her 9-year-old
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: brother dropped a weight on himself. Deputy showed up, found
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: the kids aged 14, 12, 11, and 9 without any
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: adult supervision. Deputy called Miller, who said she was working
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: in Las Vegas. She left on the 18th, said she
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: was going to be returning on the 23rd. She allegedly
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: claimed the babysitter would come from Tampa in the mornings
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: to help get the children ready for school and check
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: on them after school in the evenings. However, the babysitter
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: did not stay overnight with the children. Nine-year-old treated at
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: the hospital for injuries, later released. Other children apparently were
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: described in good health. Cops arrested Miller after she returned
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: from Florida on Friday, taken to the Osceola County Jail,
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: where she did post her bond. Sheriff Chris Blackman said
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: the Osceola County Sheriff's Office will not tolerate child neglect.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: These cases will be investigated. Charge will be brought against
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: the parents who are not properly supervising or caring for
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: their children.
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 28:33
  Speaker 8: Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots.

  Speaker 2: calling this morning suzy welcome to the.
• 28:57
  Speaker 9: Show Well, hi there.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: I have a.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Question.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Has the son that got shot by the police, whose
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: dad then went.
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: And ran over the deputy.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: Had he ever been before Judge Bloom and maybe got
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: let off because he was stuck in training?
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Susie, I do not know, but it's certainly a legitimate question.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Without question, it is a legitimate question. Because as we
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: pointed out, if you're a juvenile and you're in front
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: of the juvenile court judges on a regular basis and
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: they treat you with kid gloves and send you back
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: on your way, meaning you don't have any consequences, for
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: your criminal activity, you quite often will go on and
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: become an adult criminal and brandish firearms and do stupid
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: things like steal cars and turn them around and point
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: the firearm at an officer of the law. Wish I
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: could answer your question directly, Susie. Might have some empirical
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: evidence to back up the theory. Back to the stack
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: of stupid. And stupid it is. Got a New Jersey
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: guy off to jail. He gunned down a girl playing
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: outside with her brother and friends. The nine-year-old dead, shot
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: dead in front of her mom. Why did he open fire? Well,
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: open fire on what they called a family nemesis he
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: had a dispute with online.
• 30:29
  Speaker 8: Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Isaiah Roberts, 19 years old at the time of the
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: 2022 slaying, sentenced to 18 years in prison this past
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Friday for the death of Sequoia Bacon-Jones, who was in
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: fourth grade. She ran for cover after Roberts opened fire
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: in an apartment courtyard where she happened to be playing.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Shooting related to what was characterized as a stupid Facebook
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: dispute that he had with the intended target. That's according
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: to the victim's family and the lawyer. Roberts, now 23
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: years old, pleaded guilty in April to aggravated manslaughter. Didn't
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: speak at his sentencing. Robert Hartman, the attorney, or John Hartman,
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: the attorney, outlined the events that led up to the shooting,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: admitting that it stemmed from a Facebook feud. Hartman said
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Roberts was contacted by his mom and sister over the
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: online dispute and told to get down to Kingsbury, the
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: apartments where Sequoia was playing outside, after a fight broke
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: out involving his sister, which stemmed from the Facebook feud.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Roberts got there. Hartman said he was given the name
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: of the family nemesis, that's in quotes again, whom police
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: said was the intended victim. Roberts retrieved a 9mm pistol
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: from an apartment, saw the quote-unquote family nemesis, whom he
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: believed also had a handgun. Roberts opened fire, striking Sequoia
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: as she tried to run away with her brother. Her
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: mom was outside at the time, tried to help her
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: along with her local residents before the police showed up.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: According to Bacon Jones in a statement, he shot off
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: two rounds first, everybody scattered, and then he shot off
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: another four rounds and my daughter got hit. Hartman, the attorney,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: previously said Roberts did not intend to harm Sequoia. He admitted, however,
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Roberts did show a reckless disregard for human life, warranting
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: the manslaughter charge. Amen to that, brother. Stupid people. You moron. Yes,
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: thank you, Joe. Put an exclamation point on that. Orlando, Florida.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: We're back in Florida, Joe.
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: As is tradition.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Man's been found guilty of robbery after swallowing. Phrasing. Just
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: shy of $ 800, 000 in jewelry from a retailer. According to
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: local news, Jathan Lawrence Gilder, 33 years old at the time,
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: showed up at Tiffany February 25, 2025, posing as a
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: representative for a member of the Orlando Magic basketball team.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: He stated a player was interested in buying jewelry and
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: asked to be taken to a private room to view it.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: Once in there, the private room, he reportedly grabbed the jewelry,
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: ran from the store, and as he did so, injured
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: one of the store's employees. In addition to four earrings,
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: Gilder allegedly attempted to steal a ring worth $ 1. 3 million.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Florida Highway Patrol said he swallowed the jewelry when he
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: was stopped. Phrasing. Arrest affidavit obtained by the local news sentinel,
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: specifically newspapers, said a scan taken of his stomach was
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: taken when he was in jail. Appeared to show the
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: jewelry affidavit says he asked the staff, quote, am I
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: going to be charged with what's in my stomach? Close quote.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Authorities monitored him for about two weeks before recovering the jewelry, which,
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: of course, did match the items reportedly stolen from Tiffany
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: and company. Jerry found him guilty of robbery. Last week,
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Court of State's Attorney's Office sentencing information will be available
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: some date in the future.
• 33:49
  Speaker 8: Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Two weeks of monitoring? Is that how long it takes
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: for something to pass through your system like that?
• 34:00
  Speaker 8: Ooh.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: That could not have felt good.
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: 888-555-8255.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: See the talk station. We'll have some time to talk
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: after that. I hope you can stick around.
• 34:11
  Speaker 7: Here we are.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Hi, Frank Thomas. Welcoming back to the 55 KRC Morning Show.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: TikTok one week to go to the election. Vivek Ramaswamy
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: running for governor of the state of Ohio. If you
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: didn't get the message on that, a demonstrably better candidate
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: than the, well, delicate and fragile Amy Acton, who doesn't
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: have a resume to run on. Vivek Ramaswamy, you don't
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: have to agree with my points on that, but I
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: don't even understand how there is a choice here beyond you.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Welcome back. Good to be on.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: How you doing, man?
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: I'm doing pretty well, all things considered. I'm obviously a
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: little bit nervous considering, you know, the idea that the
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Democrats are going to have a big sweep next week.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: And that just frightens the hell out of me. Or
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: that we might have a Democratic governor in the state
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: of Ohio even more fearful of that outcome.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: I've got good news for you, Brian. We're going to
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: win this election. But the reason we're going to.
• 34:57
  Speaker 10: Win it is because the people of this state are
• 34:59
  Speaker 10: too wise to let that happen to us. As you
• 35:02
  Speaker 10: well know, I'm running against a woman who is crazy, right?
• 35:07
  Speaker 10: She is unstable and she is dishonest. And even more importantly,
• 35:12
  Speaker 10: she represents crazy, dishonest and unstable ideas that have never
• 35:16
  Speaker 10: worked in human history. Communism has failed every time it's
• 35:19
  Speaker 10: been tried. And this is a choice between communism and
• 35:22
  Speaker 10: common sense. That's the choice on the ballot. And the
• 35:26
  Speaker 10: good news is I know the people of the state.
• 35:28
  Speaker 10: I was born and raised here. I'm raising my kids here.
• 35:30
  Speaker 10: The people of Ohio are too wise to let that happen.
• 35:34
  Speaker 10: And it's a special year to run for election. You
• 35:36
  Speaker 10: think this is the 250th anniversary of the birth of
• 35:39
  Speaker 10: our country? If our founding fathers could fight a revolution
• 35:42
  Speaker 10: where they staked their lives for us to enjoy these
• 35:44
  Speaker 10: liberties today, I know that on this 250th year, we're
• 35:49
  Speaker 10: going to respect our founders by just doing the bare
• 35:51
  Speaker 10: minimum of getting out and voting.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: So I know Ohioans, we're going to do this, and
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: I'm confident we're going to win.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Well, I'd like to share that confidence with you, sir,
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: and I appreciate it coming from you. Just that You know,
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: I think that we may be a bit of a
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: spoiler in here, and I wanted to get your reaction
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: to the Libertarian candidate, because I lean little L Libertarian,
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: not capital L, but I'm leaning toward you because you're
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: a demonstrably better candidate. Are you worried that some maybe
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: disaffected or Republicans might just lean over and vote for
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: the Libertarian, knowing full well that that's going to result
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: in Amy Acton becoming governor?
• 36:22
  Speaker 10: Oh, absolutely not, because this is somebody who, I mean,
• 36:25
  Speaker 10: I don't know the candidate that well, but somebody who's
• 36:27
  Speaker 10: basically pro-transgender- expansion in terms of boys and girls sports,
• 36:32
  Speaker 10: in terms of all this other stuff with transgender minor surgeries,
• 36:35
  Speaker 10: someone who's opposed to ICE. I don't think this is
• 36:37
  Speaker 10: something that any Ohioans are going to stand for, whether
• 36:40
  Speaker 10: that's a Democrat, which is effectively what the Democrat Party
• 36:43
  Speaker 10: stands for, or any other party that's espousing those same things.
• 36:46
  Speaker 10: That's a non-starter for Ohioans. We should collaborate with ICE.
• 36:49
  Speaker 10: We should work with federal law enforcement to actually ensure
• 36:54
  Speaker 10: we're enforcing the laws that I'm going to end sanctuary
• 36:57
  Speaker 10: city status in our state.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: That's a big deal.
• 37:00
  Speaker 10: And I'm not going to let this illegal immigration infestation
• 37:04
  Speaker 10: continue and the breakdown of the.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Rule of law continue. I'm going to put an end
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: to it. And the same thing with standing for what's true.
• 37:10
  Speaker 10: There are two genders. Boys should not compete with girls
• 37:13
  Speaker 10: in girls' sports. We should not allow minors to be
• 37:16
  Speaker 10: able to undergo transgender and gender surgery mutilization.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: No, we're not doing any of that in Ohio. I'm
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: drawing a line. I'm unyielding.
• 37:25
  Speaker 10: And whether it's the Democrats or any other parties that
• 37:27
  Speaker 10: support that type of craziness, we're not going to stand
• 37:29
  Speaker 10: for it. So again, I come back to this, Brian,
• 37:32
  Speaker 10: is families are smart in this state. They can look
• 37:35
  Speaker 10: themselves in the mirror and ask, who is actually going
• 37:38
  Speaker 10: to improve my life? Who actually has the capability to
• 37:42
  Speaker 10: lead this state? And in this race, there's only one
• 37:46
  Speaker 10: answer to that. And so when you think about lower
• 37:48
  Speaker 10: property taxes, the need to really slash the property tax
• 37:53
  Speaker 10: rates to a level that at least is before the pandemic.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 37:57
  Speaker 10: Bringing down lower electric bills, prosecuting Medicaid fraud, locking up.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Criminals, including in Cincinnati, right?
• 38:02
  Speaker 10: Which you should be able to enjoy a ball game
• 38:04
  Speaker 10: and come back home without fear of being mugged or
• 38:06
  Speaker 10: assaulted or worse.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Who's going to do that for you?
• 38:09
  Speaker 10: Is it going to be a candidate like Amy Acton
• 38:11
  Speaker 10: who compares the police to the KKK to lock down
• 38:14
  Speaker 10: the economy during COVID and then quit after a few
• 38:17
  Speaker 10: months on the job?
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Or is it going to be.
• 38:19
  Speaker 10: A solid conservative candidate who has built successful businesses, who
• 38:23
  Speaker 10: has executive skills, and who has a clear stated policy
• 38:27
  Speaker 10: plan to do those things. That's common sense. And Brian,
• 38:30
  Speaker 10: I do believe that people are going to vote correctly.
• 38:34
  Speaker 10: What we need to do is get people out to vote.
• 38:36
  Speaker 10: Not voting is a vote in this election. That's what
• 38:39
  Speaker 10: I want people to understand.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: And by not voting, that's actually the biggest risk that
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: we face. But I think people are waking up. They
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: understand the stakes. And if you take five minutes and
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: call your friends, call your family members, get them out
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: to vote. You take 20 minutes, you get out to
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: the polls yourself. I would like to see, dare I say,
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: a surprise red wave that counters the narrative of the
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: blue wave. And the truth of the matter is the
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: future of our country and the ballot. It's communism versus
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: common sense. Look at what's happening in Paris. You don't
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: have to go all the way to Paris. Look at
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: what's happening in Dearborn, Michigan, just to the north of us.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: This is not acceptable in Minneapolis. This is not acceptable
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: in Ohio. And this is the election where we protect ourselves.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: And as our founders reminded us, if you don't vote,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: then you have no right to complain about what comes afterwards.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: No doubt.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: People, I think, are going to turn out indignant. And, Brian,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: we're counting on you to do it.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: Well, counting on my listening audience to do just that.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: And one more thing that is total common sense, and
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: I do not believe this bears a partisan stripe unless
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: you believe you are fighting for the teachers' union as
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: opposed to the education of your children. You're a huge
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: fan of, well, educational choice. And I spent some time
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: with the Cincinnati Classical Academy yesterday. And if everyone was
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: able to witness that type of education environment, they'd be
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: banging down the doors to get their children in it.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: Choice is good. You can get a quality education. And
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: what parent of any political stripe wouldn't want options?
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: Look, this is not about right versus left. This should
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: be about right versus wrong, okay?
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: Every parent should have the right to send their kid
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: to the best possible school they can. And I say that, Brian,
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: as somebody who myself is a product of public education
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: in greater Cincinnati for the first nine years of my
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: life before going to St. X High School. So I
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: have seen both sides of this. And what I will
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: do is also be a governor who fights for higher
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: quality public schools. Cincinnati public schools are failing our kids.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: They shut down during COVID for two years while schools
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: like St. X High School managed to stay open for
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: all but five days. So in many ways, the people
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: who are failing our public schools are the ones who
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: preach about their importance, but then enact policies that destroy
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: the quality of public schools. So I think we can
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: do both of those things at once, which is, number one,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: ensure that every parent has the opportunity, regardless of the
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: zip code their kid is born in or living in,
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: to send their kid to the best possible school for
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: that child, and at the same time say that our
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: public schools are going to perform better according to standards
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: that allow our students to thrive. Right now, the majority
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: of funding for public education, the majority of the funds
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: don't even go to classroom instruction. That's insane because classroom
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: instruction is the most important part of it. I want
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: to see teacher pay go up, and I'm going to
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: make sure it does. And so this us versus them
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: nonsense that you get from the left, don't buy it.
• 41:34
  Speaker 10: It's actually, if it's an us versus them, it's us
• 41:36
  Speaker 10: versus the bureaucracy. That's really the one we should be
• 41:38
  Speaker 10: paying attention to. And I'm going to be a governor.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: Who both improves the quality of public schools while also
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: standing for choice and mobility for families. Those don't have
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: to oppose each other. I think they actually go together.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: Without question. VVAC4Ohio, F-O-R, VVAC4Ohio. com' s website. If you're not familiar
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: with his plan, if you're not familiar with where he
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: is on the issues, get over there. And you will
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: reach the same conclusion I reached a long, long time ago,
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: a superior candidate to anybody else out there, of course,
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: far superior to Amy Acton. You know, Vivek, I guess
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: I can just always default back to she refuses to
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: debate you. What governor, who can be a governor of
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: a state that refuses to debate the opposition candidate? I just,
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: I find that immediately disqualifying.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: It's absolutely disqualifying. And the funny part, Brian, is she
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: lies about me. She has lied about my mother, defamed
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: my family, and then hides from debate. And then she'll
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: complain that attacks on her or criticisms of her are
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: somehow unfair. But here's– I got news for you. The
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: reason I'm.
• 42:44
  Speaker 10: Ready, open, and willing to debate is I want to
• 42:46
  Speaker 10: correct the record on the lies they've told about me.
• 42:49
  Speaker 10: And the fact that she's hiding should tell voters everything
• 42:53
  Speaker 10: they need to know, that the criticisms of her are
• 42:56
  Speaker 10: legitimate and they are true.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: She is crazy. She is unstable. She is unfit to lead,
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: and she has been dishonest. And when it comes to
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: a governor, this is not a one of 100 or
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: one of 435 in a legislature. This is one person
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: whose decisions will impact the lives of Ohioans.
• 43:15
  Speaker 10: The last time she was in a position to do that,
• 43:17
  Speaker 10: she ruined the lives of Ohioans. She shut down the
• 43:20
  Speaker 10: economy during COVID. She led Ohio to be the first
• 43:22
  Speaker 10: state in the country to shut down public schools, while
• 43:26
  Speaker 10: private schools, by the way, remained open and did better.
• 43:28
  Speaker 10: And then she quit on the job when the pressure hit,
• 43:32
  Speaker 10: apparently after having multiple breakdowns and unable to withstand the pressure.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: Of the job.
• 43:36
  Speaker 10: If you can't do that job, you certainly can't be
• 43:39
  Speaker 10: the governor of this state. And this is not a
• 43:41
  Speaker 10: theoretical exercise. Families are depending on the next governor. People
• 43:45
  Speaker 10: are struggling to make ends meet right now. I don't
• 43:48
  Speaker 10: want families just to make ends meet. I want them
• 43:50
  Speaker 10: to get ahead. And that's what I'm going to be
• 43:52
  Speaker 10: able to do, delivering the biggest property tax relief package
• 43:54
  Speaker 10: in our history of our state. I'm delivering that next year.
• 43:58
  Speaker 10: I'm putting Ohio on a path to zero income tax.
• 44:01
  Speaker 10: We'll bring in economic growth to make up for it.
• 44:04
  Speaker 10: I'm prosecuting Medicaid fraud by the billions and putting that
• 44:07
  Speaker 10: money back in the pockets of families. Cincinnati, Ohio and
• 44:10
  Speaker 10: other cities like it, Cincinnati is my hometown. It will
• 44:13
  Speaker 10: not be a sanctuary city anymore next year. I'm going
• 44:16
  Speaker 10: to see to it that that's the case.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: And by the way, we're going to bring back the
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: rule of law. So three young women who are freshmen
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: at the University of Cincinnati don't anymore just get randomly
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: assaulted on the streets while they're riding around on their scooters.
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: This is not too much to ask. Safer streets, better schools,
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: lower costs, bigger paychecks. That is common sense. And I'm
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: going to fight for common sense over the communism that
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: is spreading across the West. Look at Paris. Look at
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: New York. Look at Minneapolis. Look at Dearborn.
• 44:48
  Speaker 10: We're not going to let that come to Ohio. This
• 44:51
  Speaker 10: is a fork in the road moment to defend our
• 44:53
  Speaker 10: state from not only crazy people who are running like
• 44:57
  Speaker 10: my opponent, but the crazy ideas that have destroyed civilizations
• 45:01
  Speaker 10: in the past. We're not going to let that come
• 45:03
  Speaker 10: to Ohio in this election. I think those stakes are significant.
• 45:06
  Speaker 10: I don't think it is hyperbolic. It is really what's
• 45:10
  Speaker 10: on the ballot this year, which makes this even more
• 45:12
  Speaker 10: important than many presidential elections. for people to get out
• 45:16
  Speaker 10: and vote. If our founders could fight a revolution for
• 45:19
  Speaker 10: us 250 years ago, the least we could do to
• 45:22
  Speaker 10: protect those liberties is to get out and vote and
• 45:25
  Speaker 10: get your family members and your friends and your colleagues
• 45:27
  Speaker 10: to do the same thing.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: And if you all do your part, I'm going to
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: do mine. And Cincinnati's best days and Ohio's best days
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: are actually going to be ahead of us.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: You got my vote, Vivek Ramasamy. Vivek4Ohio. com' s website, please. He
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: did his warning and his advice. Get out and vote.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: It's a simple ask to stop this socialism, communism in
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: its tracks. Sir, best of luck to you as we
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: enter the final week. 621, 55KRC, Detox Station. Well, on
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: the heels of Evie Agramas, I mean, this swirling, what
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: I would consider faux outrage about Amy Acton and the
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: ad that he had been running. I first saw that
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: on Ken Blackwell's post. And again, I've told the listening
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: audience time and time again, I had no idea that
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: she had even been abused as a child or alleged
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: to have been abused as a child. So I just
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: saw the ad for the first time and heard what
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: it said. And without the bottom found with the foundational
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: information that came out later, I don't think it's that objectionable. Well,
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: I'm entitled to my own opinion anyway. Ken Blackwell is
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: the one that said State Representative Beth Lear, well, brought
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: the letter and republished it on his Facebook post, wrote
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: a letter to the editor running in the Columbus Dispatch,
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: and Blackwell said every Ohio voter should read it before
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: casting a ballot, so I will. So, this is from
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: State Representative Beth Lear, Columbus Dispatch Post. When choosing a governor,
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: should a person's childhood trauma be considered? Political Universal buzzed
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: about the commercial showing Democrat gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton's mom
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: claiming Amy is a liar. People have come unglued and
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: are attacking Amy's mom, the Republican candidate, and anyone who
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: dares share the commercial. But why? Because the candidate who
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: was accused of lying has a childhood trauma and her
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: own mother is accused of supporting the abuser. Democrats in
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: the media are trying to change the subject from she
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: is a liar to she was abused as a child.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: It's a masterful attempt to manipulate voters' emotions by making
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: Amy a victim. Her supporters, and some Republicans, a lot
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: of them in growing numbers, I might interject, want you
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: to believe that if a woman has trauma in her background,
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: questioning her fitness for office is not allowed. Well played,
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: but I'm not buying it, says State Representative Beth Lear.
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: Amy Acton's running to be governor. Her character should be questioned.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: Her opponent's character has been from the beginning, as have
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: his parents, his race, and his religion. Acton's campaign still
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: runs widely debunked ad about the pump-and-dump scheme regarding an
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: Alzheimer's drug which contains lies and has never been corrected. Apparently,
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: only Republicans face scrutiny about political advertising. Ugly truths about
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: a Democrat woman are off the table if you can
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: show she's a victim. What's the truth? Acton is a liar.
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: She proved that as director of the Ohio's Department of
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: Health by grossly exaggerating COVID cases. lied to Ohioans to
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: justify some of the most draconian lockdown requirements in the
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: United States. Yes, Governor DeWine takes some responsibility, but they
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: were her recommendations and signatures. This included the unconstitutional cancellation
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: of Ohio's in-person primary. Her lies earned her the nickname
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: Female Fauci. But what about her childhood trauma? It is tragic.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: And many of us have experienced it, but frankly, voters
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: should be more concerned about the trauma inflicted by her
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: on Ohio's children. Ohio's kids suffered directly due to her
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: horrible decisions, including massive learning losses documented by the Thomas B.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: Fordham Institute. These same Ohio children watched parents lose jobs
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: and family businesses close. Child abuse reports to the hotline
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: numbers rose, and it was reported as a result of
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: forced social isolation and economic stress, according to NBC News.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: One issue I tackled my first year in the Ohio
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: House of Representatives was a direct result of Acton's deadly policies.
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: A major hospital group even mentioned her by name when
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: explaining her visitation changes that were based upon Acton's flatten
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: the curve narrative. Hospitals, nursing homes, and other congregate care
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: settings were forced to isolate people even from family. It's
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: why I joined sponsor the Never Act Alone with help
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: from OAMF. The law ensures that neither Acton nor anyone
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: else in Ohio will be allowed to force Ohioans to
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: suffer and die alone. This elder abuse by itself is
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: enough to disqualify her for office. To many of us
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: who lost people unnecessarily during COVID. One family close to
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: me tragically lost their son who overdosed when his drug
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: treatment program was shut down by Acton's mandates. Eventually, the
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: public pushed back with protests against her. How did she respond?
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: Amy Acton quit. She couldn't handle the pressure and left
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: Ohio with the mess she made. Trauma is always tragic.
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: but it does not give anyone the right to avoid
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: scrutiny during an election. It certainly doesn't give you the
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: right to be governor when your record is an F
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: for failure, so stop letting feelings triumph over facts. Ohioans
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: have already been Amy Atkins' victims once. Don't let her
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: victimize us again. Beth Lear, state representative. Thank you, Beth.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Ken Blackwell, for bringing that one to my attention.
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: 626 right now. Got a comment? Feel free to give
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: me a call.
• 50:33
  Speaker 6: 513-749-5500.
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: The Talk Station. At 6.30, coming up at 6.31, 55K
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: RCV Talk Station, local stories. And including the school levy,
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: Cincinnati Public School levy, which is on the ballot, and
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: we have a former board member, Ozzie Davis. Open letter
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: published in the Enquirer saying, don't vote for it. I
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: cannot support the school levy. He goes through his history,
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: appointed to the Cincinnati Public School Board of Education. He
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: said it was a great moment, one of the proudest
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: of his life. Always looking out for the children, but
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: Goes on to point out, as far as powerful as
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: our public schools are, children's education doesn't start in a classroom.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: It starts at home. And he says, right now, families
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: are struggling. Cost of rent, groceries, gas skyrocketing while wages
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: stay stagnant. More and more parents are coming up short
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: at the end of the day. Math isn't mathing. It's
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: our kids who suffer. Now, he says, the school board
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: wants a 20% tax increase. Issue 4 would add $ 66
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: million a year in new taxes. That's more pressure on
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: our families, and it's our kids who will pay the price.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: We can't afford it not now. Ozzie says school board
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: needs to have its house in order before asking for
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: huge tax increases. Board has not approved the levy correctly
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: from the beginning. Went with an earnings tax first. Earnings tax, well,
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: they had to pull the plug on that one because
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: their own supporters pushed back. He says, well, instead of
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: taking a step back, the board rushed a property tax
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: onto the ballot in the last minute. On the ballot
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: before adopting a strategic plan, did so without taking the
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: time to align spending with the goals of the plan.
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: That's not how you earn trust, he says. So when
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: the school board comes back with a real plan built
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: with the community at a time when families can bear it,
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: I'll be the first to stand up for it. But
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: right now there is no plan, no public input, no
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: room in family budgets for a 20% tax increase. I
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: can't vote for that, he says. I hope you won't either.
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: If you care about our kids, vote no on issue four. Well,
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: powerful opposition from Ozzie Davis, former Cincinnati Public School Board
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: of Education member. Also behind the Political Action Committee is
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: pointed out the Coalition for an Affordable Cincinnati, which has
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: an ad campaign out opposing Issue 4. Breaking news from
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: earlier this morning, more shootings. Police investigated two separate shootings
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: happening in Hamilton last night. 6.30 p.m. was the first
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: one on South Front Street and Pershing Avenue. That man
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: went to the hospital with a gunshot wound, listed in
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: stable condition. Second one, a few hours later on Shuler Avenue,
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: woman recovered in the hospital from that gunshot wound. No
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: arrest made. Police did not say what led to the
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: separate incidents of violence. I don't believe they were related,
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: at least as of the reporting. 29-year-old has been identified
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: in connection with a fatal shooting that took place in
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: Newport on Friday night. Damian A. Serrano, 29 years old,
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: killed after a shooting in the 200 block of East 7th,
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: according to the Newport Police Department. Officers were called to
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: the area about 11.30 at night for the report of
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: a man lying on the ground with gunshot wounds. Medics
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: took Serrano to the UC Medical Center, later pronounced dead.
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: When police arrived on the scene, the suspect, 25-year-old Isaac Hamilton,
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: claimed that he told them he was the person who
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: shot Serrano. Citation explains Hamilton told police Serrano hit him
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: in the face, which scared him, and that led to
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: him firing two rounds at Serrano. Officers said they spoke
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: with several witnesses at the scene. Multiple witnesses said before
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: the shooting that Hamilton told Serrano, if you hit me,
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: I will shoot you. Being held at Campbell County Detention Center,
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: according to court records, officers are still investigating the shooting.
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: But if you have any information, Campbell County Dispatch would
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: love to hear from you. 859-292-3622. It's a rather interesting
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: article here. My alma mater mentioned, so I saw it,
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: like Oak Hills High School student hospitalized with what are
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: described as serious injuries after being hit by a vehicle
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: while walking to school yesterday morning. Greentownship Police Captain Mitch
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: Hill said that crash happened on Lawrence Road, a few
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: hundred feet from Moonridge Drive, 7.30 in the morning. Driver
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: did remain on the scene after the crash. Fox 19
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: interviewing some neighbors. They said, it's like a speedway out there.
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: I didn't see it happen, but it's like a speedway
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: out there. Speeding an issue that people have brought up before.
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: Multiple neighbors said this. Crash is still under investigation, but
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: Fox 9 routine reporting Captain Hill said alcohol, drugs, and
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: speed are not believed to be factors. So, complain about speed.
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: Apparently that had nothing to do with it. Sorry, the
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: kid's seriously injured, though, that's for sure. Carl, I see
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: you're on the line, but I see it's also... Detox station.
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: 640-55-KRC-Detox station, 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK, or call 550 on AT &
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: T phones. It's already there. Vivek Ramasamy for Ohio Governor.
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: The podcast page, 55KRC. iheart. com. Thank you, Joe, for keeping that
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: thing updated. Appreciate that. And who's on the phone? It
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: looks like Carl. Carl, thanks for holding up the break.
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: Welcome to the morning show, sir.
• 55:30
  Speaker 11: Good morning, Brian. Say, I have some comments regarding the
• 55:33
  Speaker 11: Rodney Hinton trial that occurred the other day.
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 55:37
  Speaker 11: I heard your interview with Steve Goodman, Signal 99, yesterday.
• 55:42
  Speaker 11: And first of all, prayers to the Larry Henderson family,
• 55:45
  Speaker 11: and God bless the jurors who served in this case.
• 55:48
  Speaker 11: But ever since the murder occurred, I wondered if it
• 55:51
  Speaker 11: could have been prevented. Maybe if the city of Cincinnati
• 55:54
  Speaker 11: has not disbanded the District 5 police district, things might
• 55:58
  Speaker 11: have been different. That intersection where Larry Henderson was patrolling
• 56:03
  Speaker 11: was in the old District 5 district. Perhaps if Cincinnati
• 56:08
  Speaker 11: Police Department had proper staffing... Perhaps if UC police had
• 56:13
  Speaker 11: not changed their policy to not allow its officers to
• 56:16
  Speaker 11: go off campus, you know, after the Ray Tensing incident
• 56:20
  Speaker 11: where the UC police officer shot the gentleman off campus,
• 56:25
  Speaker 11: they changed their policy. Now, I heard several of the
• 56:29
  Speaker 11: players speak after the verdict, and Sheriff McGuffey gave a
• 56:33
  Speaker 11: heartfelt interview. Of course, Defense Attorney Bennett spoke about how
• 56:37
  Speaker 11: he's going to vigorously appeal the case. But I've heard
• 56:41
  Speaker 11: nothing from the prosecutor's office and nothing from City Hall
• 56:45
  Speaker 11: in the matter. I'm wondering what went wrong during the case.
• 56:49
  Speaker 11: Why didn't the jurors find Hinton guilty of aggravated murder?
• 56:54
  Speaker 11: And I'm wondering if the jurors– well, as you know,
• 56:58
  Speaker 11: the jurors found Hinton guilty of reckless homicide. and murder
• 57:02
  Speaker 11: at the same time, which is inconsistent.
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: You can't reconcile that. Therein lies the breakdown, and that's
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: exactly what Steve Gooden was pointing out yesterday. One requires
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: an intentional element, which is the murder conviction. The other one, reckless,
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: means there was no intent whatsoever. So how do you
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: find intent on one charge and no intent on the others?
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: That's impossible to reconcile, so that's why I think there's
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: going to be a retrial.
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 57:32
  Speaker 11: And I'm wondering, were the judge's instructions not clear to
• 57:36
  Speaker 11: the jury?
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: Did the jury get confused with that?
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: They did ask for some clarification on the jury instructions.
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: I believe it was Thursday during deliberations or maybe Friday.
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: I don't have the specific timeline memorized. But, yeah, there
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: were specific questions about understanding the jury instructions. And I—
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: It should have been one or the other. You either
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: find him intentionally guilty of intentional murder or you find
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: him recklessly having killed someone, which again has no intent.
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: But I don't, if I'm a juror and I'm sitting there,
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: that's so fundamental to your understanding of the jury instructions,
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: that mental element, the mens rea element, as they call
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: it in the law. If you don't understand that, that's
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: how you end up, I think, with a conflicting jury verdict.
• 58:19
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 58:21
  Speaker 11: Um, Everybody's talking about what a great job people did. Well, Judge, really?
• 58:28
  Speaker 11: This should have been a slam-dunk case for an aggravated murder,
• 58:32
  Speaker 11: and the jury came back, and things were inconsistent. We
• 58:37
  Speaker 11: just talked about that. As far as the great job
• 58:40
  Speaker 11: that the defense attorney did, he lost against a prosecutor
• 58:44
  Speaker 11: that didn't really do a very good job. And as
• 58:49
  Speaker 11: far as the prosecution goes, they– This should have been
• 58:52
  Speaker 11: a slam dunk case. There was no body cam video
• 58:56
  Speaker 11: shown to the jury from the scene. There was no
• 58:59
  Speaker 11: video of the interview of Hinton that was shown to
• 59:04
  Speaker 11: the jurors. And some very concerning things are out there.
• 59:07
  Speaker 11: There are people, keyboard warriors. all across the country here
• 59:13
  Speaker 11: saying that Hinton did the right thing by murdering the deputy,
• 59:18
  Speaker 11: the police officer.
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: You're always going to get fringe idiots in the world
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: with stupid opinions and stupid conclusions about things. You can't
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: avoid that reality in this world that we're all connected
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: via the internet. If you have an opinion, people are
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: willing to voice it regardless of how idiotic it is.
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: But there was also these statements that were allowed to
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: reach the jury that should not have been allowed. Kevin
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: mentioned that as well, the testimony regarding what he said
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: specifically to the psychiatrist who interviewed him, treading very delicately
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: around your right to be free of self-incrimination and statements
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: along those lines, which Steve Gooden said should have been
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: suppressed or not entered into evidence. And the judge apparently
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: said the jury should disregard them, but Yeah, don't listen
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: to what the psychiatrist said he said, right? Okay, you're
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: going to unforget that? Certainly not. So lots of reasons
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: to call into question the trial itself generally, but the
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: verdict in and of itself, I think, is sufficient grounds
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: to say, what in the hell's going on here? You
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: can't reconcile these, and it will certainly serve as at
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: least one basis to overturn the decision. Wait for it.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: Bennett's going to appeal. He said he would. And the
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: other confusing element was the insanity defense was raised early on.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: You know, not guilty by reason of insanity. At the
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: moment in time, he couldn't understand the difference between right
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: and wrong. Well, the jury didn't apparently buy that. But
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: then entered this new theory. Clyde Bennett asserted that he
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: was trying to kill himself by running into a pole.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: And that showed up kind of late in the game,
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: and that's where that second jury instruction came in. I
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: don't know that that was appropriate in and of itself. So, yeah,
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: lots of room for criticism here. And, of course, it's
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: easy to play armchair quarterback. I know this well. I
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: try not to do it in connection with jury trials,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: but lots went wrong here, and I suppose you can
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: just point me in any direction, and there will be
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: some blame. 645, thanks for the call, though, Carl. Appreciate it.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: Feel free to give me a ring, 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK, and
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: give John Ryan a ring if you want your 5,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: 650-55KRCD talk station. We're going to get to empower you
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: for the week from Dr. J after the top of
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: the hour news, followed by Tom Zawistowski on how the
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: left is going to protest the election results. I think
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: he believes it's going to go red and the left
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: is going to scream and yell about the election being stolen.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: My guess, I don't know, we'll find out from Tom
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: at 730. Let's talk to Dave right now. Dave, thanks
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: for calling this morning. Welcome to the show.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 4: Yes, good morning again. As a trained auditor and accountant,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 4: I concur with Mr. Zinsser. that we have a serious
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 4: problem in figuring out whether they're legally compliant with how
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 4: they spent the last batch of money.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 6: So I strongly urge you.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 4: Don't vote them any more money until you can understand
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 4: that they legally used the last batch.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: Good point, Dave. There is no accountability with money that
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: goes out into the world, is there? We've learned that
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: over and over again. You look at Doge, you look
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: at the city of Cincinnati, and every jurisdiction and state
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: in between is like, Oh, there's a nongovernmental organization over there. Here,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: let's give them some money. And then you don't know
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: what they did with it. Same thing goes to schools,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: I guess. That was the criticism from Ozzy Davis on that.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: What are they doing with it? It's not going in
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: the classroom, apparently. Good point.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 4: When I was in college, I was trained in governmental accounting.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 4: One of the national experts. First woman to get a Ph.D.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 4: in accounting from Berkeley. And one of the days the
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 4: students asked her about governmental rules in accounting, and she
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 4: looks at her class and says, if you or I
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 4: practiced accounting the way the government practices accounting, we'd be
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 4: in jail.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: You'd be arrested. Yes, you would. No question about it.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: It's taxpayer dollar money. They don't have to care. They
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: don't have to go out and earn it. They just
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: take it. There's no accountability because they get to spend
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: whatever the hell they want. There's no Todd Zinser looming
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: over their head figuring out what the hell is being
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: done with it.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: Systemic problem. This is the problem with the swamp. It's
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: impossible to drain. And real quick, just maybe I could
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: make a parallel between, oh, yes, and by the way, Eric,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: you're right. Insofar as the last caller is concerned, the
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: closure of District 5, if it hadn't, then, yeah, that
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: just means that Cincinnati police officer would have been in
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: the place of Deputy Henderson and would no longer be
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: with us. But aside from that. I saw this article
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: the other day, and they were interviewing people. It was
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: just all this outrage of why they're going to vote Democrats. And, ah,
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: the economy sucks. There's nothing good about it. Everything's expensive.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: This economy, the nation is in the wrong direction. You know, everyone,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: in going down that road, I mean, you can't get
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: any further than gasoline and food prices. Housing is a problem, too.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: But you know what? Donald Trump didn't cause that problem. COVID, largely.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: But.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: He's done so much. And in terms of investment in
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: this country, a lot of people have taken notice that
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: this is the place to be. You're sure as hell,
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: if you're a major corporation, not going to invest in
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: the European Union. And according to the markets, you're sure
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: as hell not going to go to Brazil to do it.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: They had a market collapse yesterday because the lefty Lula
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: won the election by a fraction of a couple of
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: percentage points or whatever. And some are calling into question
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: the validity of that election, most notably because a good
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: friend of Lula, the leftist, Supreme Court justice, unilaterally, this
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: sounds like something would happen in COVID, unilaterally allowed the
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: two hours of extended voting. How can a single judge
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: do that? Well, this is Brazil, so you're not going
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: to invest there. Where are you going to invest? The
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: United States of America. Now, let's contrast this. Yes, this
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: is AI-generated, but they relied on data out in the world,
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: most notably the industrial-saved U.S. manufacturing investment tracker. In the first, well,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: up until now, from the date he was sworn in,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump, until this moment in time, that's not even
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: full two years, roughly $ 2 trillion in private sector manufacturing
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: commitments have been announced. $ 2 trillion. That tracker, Industrial Sage,
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: monitors verified private sector commitments of $ 50 million or more.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: And all of this comes from private investment. Tons of it.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: Got semiconductor and advanced tech investment north of a trillion,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: pharma and biotech, aerospace and defense, automotive and heavy equipment.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: Audi just announced it's going to be opening a brand-new
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: manufacturing facility here in the United States. One of several
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: have been announced. Two trillion in just this small amount
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: of time. Now, the White House, of course, says there's
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: a lot more than that, at least in commitments, as
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: far as commitments are concerned. So tens of trillions. But
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: in any event, pivoted over, I said, okay. I need
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: a baseline to compare it to. So what I said
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: or asked AI, how much new manufacturing investment occurred during
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: the Biden administration? That will be a total administration timeframe,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: four years. 900 billion to over 1 trillion in private
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: sector manufacturing. His entire administration didn't bring to this country
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: half of what Trump has. And you know where the
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: investment comes from, at least under the Biden administration? Investment
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: announcements of realized construction driven largely by the Chips and
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: Science Act. Okay, there's one. Chips and Science Act, which is, well,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: $ 52. 7 billion in direct funding and subsidies for U.S. chip production.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: Funding and subsidies came from you, by the way, the
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: American taxpayer. Tax credits, those also, you know, taxes are
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: going to the federal government, so basically you're paying for that, too.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: The Inflation Reduction Act, giving credit for the spending under
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: the Biden administration. We all know what that one was.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: It had nothing to do with inflation. It was the
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: Green Energy Project and bipartisan infrastructure law. They even put
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: it out. All of these provided subsidies, tax credits, and grants,
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: which led to the quote-unquote investment. So you, the American taxpayer,
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: paid for the building and the infrastructure and the construction
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: during the Biden administration. Meanwhile, the Trump administration delivered double
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: the amount And it didn't involve any bill that provided
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: American taxpayer dollars to bring about the investment.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 6: Hmm.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: So, well, I just wanted to remind people that there
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: are some really good things going on out there in
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: the world. 656-55-K to the talk station like the Empower
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: You seminar series. Dr. J on those plus Tom Z
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: at 730. I sure hope you can stick around. Talking
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: about what? 706. on a Tuesday here at 55KRCD Talk Station.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: That means you get to find out about what the
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: Empower You America series is offering by way of seminars.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: And to do that, we always get the pleasure of Dr.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: Jay Risover's company. Dr. Jay, welcome back to the morning show,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: my friend. It's always a pleasure having you on the program.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: Pleasure to be here. Pleasure to be with you today. And, oh,
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: my God, only one week, and then the commercials will
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: go away.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: I know. Yo, thank you, Jay, because I'm not feeling great.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm worried that we're going to go the
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: wrong direction. People won't vote. People will say, oh, I
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: don't like that guy for some stupid reason, and he
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: can stay home and not cast a vote, and Amy
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: Acton will be governor of the state of Ohio. I mean,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: and there's a lot of races that hit me down
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: out there in the world, but that one's really got
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: me bothered, especially some of the op-ed pieces and some
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: of the politicians who've chimed in on this whole non-issue
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: and this faux outrage involving Amy Acton ignoring all the
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: allegations against Nivea Gramaswamy levied by her campaign, which are lies,
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: but Here's where we are. So one week away, TikTok, TikTok,
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: as I like to point out. But what we got
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: tonight is an Empower You seminar, although it's changed, hasn't it, Jay?
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: Yes, it has. It's sad, but first off, let me
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: tell the people, thank you, Empower You. Come to us.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: We're going to have classes this week. Tonight, of course,
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: is a virtual, and it'll be the Trenton residents fighting
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: Amazon's AI data center. We're still doing that, but unfortunately,
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: the two very nice people, Barry and Lori Blankenship, who
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: have been kind of spearheading this. They are neighbors of
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: where this data center was going to go in, and
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: they have been against it. And They were going to
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: be with us, but unfortunately, they've had to cancel. Barry
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: just got out of the hospital. He's been ill, and
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: so we give him our best wishes and hope he
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: gets better soon. But we have a great replacement, and
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: I've got to thank Mike Mercer for doing this. We
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: have Larry Falcon of the Sierra Club, who's also been
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: working with the Blankenships. He has been working on the
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: Trenton data center. He's also been working to fight the St.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: Bernard data center. He's kind of an expert at the
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: Sierra Club in doing this kind of thing. So we're
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: going to listen to him tonight telling us about his
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: concerns about data centers and the specific one in Trenton. Now,
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: I have some interesting thoughts on this. I was hopeful
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: that we were going to have both sides of this issue.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: We have done that before. We're But we are really
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: not able to do that this time. But I think
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: this is a wonderful opportunity. There are so many people
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: listening today. Your listeners are very knowledgeable. And we don't
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: have people to ask questions about their thoughts on the
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: data center. I would love for everyone listening today to
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: think about this and maybe make that time tonight. Come
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: join our virtual session and ask questions of these people.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: Let's listen to what they have to say. And let's
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: ask questions because I'd love to be able to have
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: a lot of people work on this other side with us.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there is no, you know, they're obviously opposed to
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: data centers. And I imagine the same cast of character
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: arguments will be made like, you know, noise and water
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: and power and. that, fine, I get all that, but
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: all that can be countered with the, well, what about
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: if we require them to upfront deal with those challenges?
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: And therefore you have nothing left to argue about with
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: the exception of how ugly the building might happen to be. So, yeah,
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, there has to be counter arguments or counter
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: suggestions or even counter questions. Like, wait a second, you
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: say that they're going to use up all of this water.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: Do you even know what type of system? Is it
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: a closed loop system, which would solve that problem? How
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: do you know how much noise it's going to generate?
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: How do you know that Are they bringing the power?
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: All that. Those are all legitimate questions. And also the
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: tax revenue.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of money when you come to your neighborhood.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: Isn't that a good thing? So, yeah. There's got to
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: be people in my listening audience can handle that. 7 p.m.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: tonight at PowerUAmerica.org. Just click on the register button and
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: register to attend virtually before the seminar starts and take
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: on that role.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: So please do come join us. It should be fascinating.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to ask my questions. And then on Thursday,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: we're going to have Nathaniel Green, hero of the American Revolution.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: We're going to get a little bit more history. We
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: did Grant and Lee last week, which was really good.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: And we're going to have Stephen McClanahan is going to
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: be telling us about that. Nathaniel Green served with George
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: Washington and really was one of the heroes of the
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: Revolutionary War. But before him, We're going to have Adam
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: Bolling speak on the Education Freedom Tax Credit. And that
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: was part of the One Big Beautiful Bill. And it's
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: a permanent federal credit that becomes effective next year, January 1st.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: allowing eligible taxpayers to receive a dollar-for-dollar federal tax credit
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: of up to $ 1, 700 for contributions to be approved for
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: scholarship-granting organizations. So it's a little complicated. We're going to
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: get some of the details of this, but everybody who
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: has a kid or has a grandkid is going to
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: know about this freedom tax credit and what you can
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: do to contribute to it for your kids' schooling. So
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: That should be very interesting. Adam Bowling is going to
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: talk about that first.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: That is great. And, you know, the one thing that
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: bothers me about this, and it's even in the notes,
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: is states have to opt in to participate. And there
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: are states out there that refuse to do this because
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: they're worried it's going to somehow or in some way
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: jeopardize public schools for some reason. This $ 1, 700 tax credit,
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: either take it or don't. Why should you deny residents
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: of your state the opportunity to do that to the
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: extent some states are?
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, anything to hurt the orange man, I suppose.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, maybe it does just come down to
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: that petty, petty reality, Jay. I don't know. What about
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: next week? That one's on Thursday beginning at 7 o'clock,
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: and you can show up in person at 300 Scarlet
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: Oaks Drive for the Empower You live event or still
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: log in from home, conveniently do so, and I really
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: encourage my listeners to do that. Give us a preview
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: of next week, Jay.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: Next week, of course, Tuesday is Election Day. We will
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: be silent. You should be out there voting, and so
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: we will not be present on Tuesday next week. But
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: we'll have Bold by Julie O'Neill, and we'll also have
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: a Hammond County Juvenile Court Judge, Judge Stacey DeGraffenfield, will
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: be speaking. Bold is a book that was written by
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: Julie O'Neill. It's The Secret to My Big Wins to
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: Help You Crash Through Your Comfort Zone. It's a memoir
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: and a self-help guide. Maybe you remember Julie O'Neill. She
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: was on WCPO-TV for 27 years. She was in our
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: local news environment. And then she rejected a $ 50, 000 severance
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: package to avoid signing a nondisclosure agreement and choosing to
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: speak publicly about what happened to her. So this is
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: a fascinating story, how you can manage fear and taking
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: on risks, how to use humor and science. And we
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: can't wait to hear Bold by Julie O'Neill.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: That should be a good seminar, self-help seminar in a way.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: All right. And the following one, I think, is going
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: to be Inside Doge, What Really Happened with Tyler Hassan.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: That's on November 10th.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. In fact, I want to talk to you
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: and Joe. Perhaps we can get Tyler on your show
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: telling you could talk to him a little bit about
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: that because he's a national speaker and he worked inside Doge.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: He was one of the kids and he has just
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: a fascinating story to tell. So I'm thinking you might
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: want to actually have him instead of me. You can
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: ask him a few questions.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: I'd love to just set him up. He's willing to
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: do it. I'll be more than pleased to do that. Absolutely.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: We will try and do that. And that's November 10th,
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: November 12th on Incredible Universe. We have more stuff coming.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: And I see right here, goodness, this is an old one.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to November 19th. We are going to
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: have Captain Stevenson, who is a 9-11 survivor, in the
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: Pentagon the day that plane came and hit the Pentagon.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: It stopped just outside his office. And we have an
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: amazing first-hand account with pictures of the Pentagon, what happened
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: before and afterwards, and some of our response, which he
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: was personally responsible for as a member of the U.S.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: Navy and in the Pentagon. So it's a great, wonderful story.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: I recommend everybody come to that one on November 19th.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: Come to DOGE November 12th. We just have more coming.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: We can't wait to see you guys.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, no doubt.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: Well, and don't forget to add Mission Ready Testosterone Amends
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: Health in the Military, which is also going to be Dr.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: Michael Ady at the Remembering 9-11 seminar. So you got
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: a twofer on that one.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: That is right. And that we're actually doing because, you know,
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: the military just released that they're going to be looking
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: at all of the testosterone levels, everyone in the military.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: as part of their health objective. And so we're going
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: to have him explain to us kind of what's going
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: on there. Why are we checking testosterone levels in soldiers
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: and what that actually could mean for you and I, perhaps.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: How about that? That's all the rage these days, testosterone,
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: you know, hormone replacement therapy with bioidentical hormones, that kind
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: of thing can actually be really good or I guess bad.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know the science behind it, but lots of
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: folks doing that. And don't forget, we've got to give
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: the advance preview. December 3rd is the bourbon tastings. America's own,
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: tasting America's own spirit. Mike Wilson knows all about bourbon,
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: so it's going to be an opportunity to maybe drink
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: at an Empower You seminar there, Jay?
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: We are definitely doing that. We had a scotch tasting
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: last year that was quite fun. We're going to have
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: bourbon tasting this year. That, though, will be at the
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati Krav Maga gym in Blue Ash because Scarlet Oaks
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: does not care for us to bring out.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: Figures, doesn't it? Well, there it is. If you build it,
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: they will come. If you offer free bourbon sampling, they
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: will come. So December 3rd for that one. You can
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: get all the information either going to 55KRC. iheart. com because Joe's
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: added it, or you can go directly to empoweryouamerica.org. But
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: most assuredly, get on the horn tonight or get on
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: the computer tonight. Attend the virtual seminar on the Fighting
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: Amazon's AI Data Center in Trenton and ask a lot
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: of questions.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: Please, yeah, come listen in and help ask questions.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: Jay is going to be asking questions. So, yeah, give
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: him a backup. Jay, rest over. Thank you so much
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 2: for the work you're doing with Empower U, and thanks
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: to all involved with Empower U. And please just remember
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: to put it on your calendar and remember to log in.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: 721 here at 55Kerr City Talk Station. What are you
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: doing this evening? I hope you're going on a flight.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: That's right, last flight of the season tonight at 8.30
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: is about the time to start showing up at CVG.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: Please do. Level C, that's the ticketing area, the new
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: parking structure lobby by the huge mural on the left
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: side is where everybody gathers. You'll be able to see
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: the crowds, that's for sure, hopefully anyway. You've got young
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: people in your world. You want to experience some patriotism
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: and some just, I always like to call it allergy
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: outbreak moments. You're going to get that with the Honor Flight.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: 88 veterans and their guardians, one-day trip. 89% of the
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: flights got Vietnam veterans and their guardians, and Lord knows
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: they could sure use a great welcome home since we
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: all know they didn't get one when they got back.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: So that also includes guardians from the new Veteran Guardian
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: Ambassadors Program. So post-911 combat veterans accompanying veterans over the
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: age of 65. There's more information over there on the website.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: But 55KRC. iheart. com, the details are there. But HonorFlightTristate.org will always
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: have the information. Real quick here, are you tired of
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: being lied to? I saw this story. It just really
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 2: irked me. But I'm kind of used to it. 60
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: Minutes has been known for years and years to just fabricate,
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: just outright lie to you. And they did it again
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: over on Sunday. 60 Minutes episode featuring Musa Diawara and
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: his family. He's got kids. He's been living in America
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: for a long time. So he and his wife, appealing
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: to the fact that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says Diawara,
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: who showed up in the United States in 2001, well,
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: he actually is not the sympathetic character that 60 Minutes
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: painted him out to be. He said he was worried
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: about his conversion to Christianity and could be persecuted in
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: Mali for converting to Christianity. Funny fact that the show
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: left out, they didn't bother doing much due diligence, if any.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: The show didn't mention that his application for protection here
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 2: in the United States didn't quite line up with the
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: narrative that he was provided on 60 Minutes. Notably, USMI said,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: 60 Minutes sob story tonight highlighted an illegal alien and
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: his wife and two children. One problem, The illegal alien,
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: Mosa Diawara, claimed he was homosexual in order to try
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: and dodge deportation to Mali. They got his 2009 asylum
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: application declaring he needed to remain in America because he
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: was a gay man who would be killed. My asylum
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: application is based on grounds of well-founded past persecution and
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: undisputable fear of life threatening to my person if I
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: were to return to my country in Mali. In fact,
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 2: I had experienced extreme punishment and persecution based upon the
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: ground of my sexual orientation. Since I came to the USA,
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: I had possibilities to express my feelings to men without
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: any embarrassment, no reserve. Indeed, my tribal group and community
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: as well as a whole had reported my sexual orientation
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: to my family back home because such behavior is unwelcome
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 2: in my society. My life is henceforth threatened if I
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 2: have to go back to my country because I could
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 2: be executed either by the Islamic group or the community.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: These are the reasons why I applied for asylum in
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 2: the U.S. to seek protection from the U.S. government.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 5: Huh.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: Well, that seems to conflict with his argument that he
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: was converting to Christianity that did it. It seemed to
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 2: be that in and of itself is a conflict over
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: his stated goal. Now, DHS General Counsel James Percival was
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: interviewed for over an hour. He was promised that the
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: 60-minute segment would air the entire interview, but apparently only
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 2: a handful of minutes from the entire interview were aired
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: during this segment. Did not mention anything about that application.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: First of all, posted about his experience. Hey, in our conversation,
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 2: we talked about the vicious killers and rapists we are
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: removing to third countries and the fact that no president
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 2: before Trump removed these public safety threats from our community, unfortunately,
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 2: as they always do. It is 60 minutes, isn't it?
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: They selectively edited the video and included none of that.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: They did promise they would publish the entire interview, so
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: I look forward to my comments being posted in full
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: this week. Yeah, don't hold your breath, Mr. Percival. ICE,
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 2: for its part, on its ex-account, had this to say,
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 2: fake and gay. Lusa Diwara, the Milan national featured in
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 2: the shockingly poorly researched 60 Minutes report, now faces allegations
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 2: of immigration fraud. after his asylum application surfaced, revealing that
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: he claimed to be homosexual, who feared persecution in Mali. Well,
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 2: they got him on that now, too. 726 here at 55KRC,
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: the talk station. Tom Zawistowski. KRC, the talk station. 730
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: here at 55KRC, the talk station. Coming up after the
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: top of the hour news, Inside Scoop with Breitbart News,
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 2: London Bureau Chief Oliver Lane on Marxists all over Europe
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 2: behind these protests over there. Daniel Davis, Deep Dive on Iran,
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: and right now we hear from Tom Zawistowski. You can
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: find him online at wethepeopleconvention.org. You should do that and
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: then listen to what he has to say on his
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: weekly podcast. It's a wide-ranging bunch of topics, including what's
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 2: really behind the riots in France. Good to hear from you,
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 2: Tom Zawistowski. Great to be with you, Brian.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 7: And, boy, a week left to go and lots to
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 7: be done because, as you know, on our side, Election
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 7: Day is the whole game, right? I mean, I know
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 7: there's good turnout for the early voting and, and, you know, interestingly,
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 7: like in-person voting is already greater than it was in 2022. So,
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 7: you know, people are showing up early, but for us,
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 7: the game is on election day. And so you and I,
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 7: and everybody else has to keep talking to people about
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 7: making a plan to vote on that day. Cause that's
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 7: when it's going to be decided.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: What do you make of this capitulation by all the
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: Republicans in this Amy Acton ad nonsense? I mean, I
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: see more and more people, including, and I have, listen,
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: everybody in my listening audience knows how I feel about
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 2: Governor Mike DeWine, but he seems to have been, he's
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 2: almost campaigning for Amy Acton since the outset. So we
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 2: can just sort of throw him aside because it's something
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: we come to expect from DeWine. But what of all
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 2: the other Republicans that you think that they would come
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: out a little bit more strongly in favor of Ramaswamy?
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: I personally don't find the ad that offensive, most notably
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 2: since they have been launching and preceded his ad with
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: all kinds of vile lies about Ramaswamy. But, you know,
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 2: when you get the Wall Street Journal op-ed opinion piece
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 2: saying that this is dequalifying, Romney should be dequalified from
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: even running for governor, I mean, what is wrong? I mean,
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 2: it's just become unglued or delusional. This is all about, what,
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 2: sympathy for Amy Acton because of what might happen to
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 2: her when she was a child? That has nothing to
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 2: do with her qualifications for governor. Tom, what's your take
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 2: on all this?
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah, on my podcast... I actually read President Trump's response
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 7: because I thought it was right on the money, what
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 7: he posted on Truth Social about the ad and basically
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 7: saying if the Democrats had, if my mother, his mother,
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 7: Trump's mother had said something bad about him, that the
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 7: left would have run those ads forever and the media
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 7: would have celebrated and it would have been the ad
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 7: of the century. But because Vivek Ramaswamy runs the ad,
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 7: you know, oh, it's insensitive and all that. It's total nonsense.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 7: It's propaganda. And the sad part is Robert Sprague called
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 7: me and we were talking about it. And he said, Tom,
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 7: my problem with the ad was that it brought the
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 7: East and West Coast Democrats into Ohio. Until that ad ran,
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 7: they were pretty much out of it. And this was
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 7: kind of running its course here But like Amy Acton
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 7: got a million dollar donation like that day from some
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 7: lefty in New York or whatever. And then it became,
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 7: you know, this whole media thing, which did what? Distorted
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 7: the ad.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 7: The ad wasn't about the fact that, you know, Amy
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 7: Acton had been sexually abused when she was 12 or whatever.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 7: The ad was about she's a liar. And the proof
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 7: is there that she's a liar. But they stole the narrative.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 7: and ran away with it. And so, you know, this
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 7: is what's wrong. I mean, a friend of mine said this,
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 7: and Brian, I think you'll agree 100%. Boy, we have
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 7: actually developed the worst possible way to elect people to
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 7: rule over us and spend trillions of our dollars that
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 7: you could ever devise. The whole system is just completely
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 7: broke because we're not having debates. Who in your audience
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 7: can name what Amy Acton would actually do as governor?
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 7: She's got catchphrases. Oh, we're going to lower costs. No
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 7: way of saying how. You can't find that on her website.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 7: Whereas Vivek Ramaswamy has actual plans that you can read.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 7: But there's no talk about that. There's hundreds of millions
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 7: of dollars of ads that are all total lies. This
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 7: is a real problem. And I hope after this election,
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 7: we can all work together to do something to fix this.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 7: But in the meantime... Your listeners have to figure out
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 7: what's smoke and mirrors and what's fact. And the smoke
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 7: and mirrors is, oh, this is a totally insensitive ad. No,
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 7: it's a totally effective ad. And let me share one
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 7: thing with your audience that I think is interesting. A
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 7: friend of mine was talking to me about, he was
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 7: in Cleveland, talking to leaders in the black community. And
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 7: he said, you know what, Tom, this Acton ad is
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 7: really having an impact in the black community because in
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 7: the black community, if mama says you're a liar, people
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 7: believe mama. And he said, this is going to move
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 7: some votes in the black community away from Amy Acton.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 7: So what's the outcome of this net net? I think
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 7: it's a wash at worst. And I think we still
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 7: have to just, you know, come out, turn out and
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 7: vote for every Republican on the ticket on election day.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 2: We'll talk more with Tom Zawistowski, wethepeopleconvention.org, after these brief words,
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 2: starting with Gregory Lester. 5KRC, the talk station. 739 at 55KRC,
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 2: the talk station. Brian Thomas with wethepeopleconvention.org. Tom Zawistowski, again,
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 2: through the news. You know, you mentioned all this money
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: from the four corners of the United States came flowing
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 2: into the election after this ad ridiculous thing dropped and
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 2: became the topic of conversation. Ignoring the issues in what is,
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 2: you know, being governor of a state of Ohio, what
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 2: that involves. Now it's all this emotional plea and, oh,
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 2: my God, how could you ever do that? bringing in
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: national money. I was getting ready to say something about, well,
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: all elections are kind of national these days, Tom, with
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 2: the internet connecting everyone. But they also happen to be
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 2: global anymore. We're getting more and more reports about foreign
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 2: money flowing into elections of all types, being laundered through
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 2: various other political action committees. So it's not shocking to
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 2: me that this drew money from the four corners of
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 2: the globe. But then again, I imagine it was already
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 2: drawing money from the four corners of the globe because
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 2: it's an important race and it's been really close the
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 2: entire time, Tom.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 7: Well, you know, you're touching on a very important point.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 7: And that is, I tell all of our listeners that,
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 7: you know, you're not just voting for yourself and for America.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 7: This is a global election. This is for us to
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 7: defend Western civilization. Again, I will say, go to We
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 7: The People convention and watch the Marco Rubio video from
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 7: Athens about defending Western civilization. That's what's at stake here.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 7: And what you see in Europe and France, and now
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 7: they're trying to spread it to Belgium and Spain and
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 7: all that stuff, is basically a communist revolution.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 9: That's what it is.
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 7: And what your listeners need to get ready for is
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 7: that they've already got plans in place to try to
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 7: put Donald Trump in a trap. If we win the
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 7: election big, which I think we're going to do, they're
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 7: going to claim that we stole it. See, all the
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 7: polls said we were leading, and how could it be
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 7: so different in the election? Well, probably because the polls
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 7: are fake, and I know you've covered that, okay? So
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 7: they're going to try to riot then, right? But if
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 7: they win, they're going to try to riot even if
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 7: they win to try to force Donald Trump's impeachment. It's coming.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 7: Violence is coming because they're out of cards. They only
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 7: have violence left.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 2: Well, there's no question in my mind that you're probably
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 2: on the right path on that. I did read this
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: Chuck DeVore analysis. The DSA's plan to incite nationwide violence
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 2: ahead of the 2028 election, citing pretty much the same
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 2: sort of concept. But the United Kingdom's announcement that they
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 2: need to be ready for war within a thousand days
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 2: because of all of these external threats to the grid,
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 2: the infrastructure, they're warning their citizens that to be prepared
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 2: for what they say is probably going to be inevitable.
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 2: You know it's the same thing here, Tom. We're already
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 2: told to keep at least three days' worth of food
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: and supplies in the house for the contingency for the emergency.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 2: I think it's going to be a lot longer, but
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 2: then the U.S.
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 5: Military.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 2: Doomsday, U.S. military planning to survive 90 days without power.
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 2: It's called Fortress. It's a new program they're designing to, well,
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 2: at least allow electricity to continue to flow to our
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: military installations. So they're preparing. This is obviously designed to
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 2: deal with that kind of challenge. And are we strong
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 2: enough as a society to, well, go without electricity for
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: an extended period of time, Tom? Maybe that'll be the
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 2: beginning of the downfall. The revolution will begin when the
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 2: lights go out, Tom.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 7: Well, see, you're touching on an important thing. Are we
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 7: strong enough to survive is one question. My question is,
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 7: are we strong enough to fight? Are we strong enough
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 7: to fight these forces? As you see in France, Marcon's weak.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 7: He's a loser, right, as Trump would say. And so
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 7: they let this get out of hand, and now they're
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 7: trying to crack down. I think President Trump learned from,
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 7: you know, 2020 or 2016. I think he learned from
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 7: the BLM, you know, burned down the cities, and they said, oh,
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 7: stay out of this. You know, that's not a federal thing.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 7: He should have interceded.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 6: He didn't.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 7: I think he learned from that. I think you're going
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 7: to see really fast action by the president if they
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 7: start to act up. My question to your listeners are,
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 7: Are you willing to support that? Or are you going
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 7: to melt because some activist throws himself in front of
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 7: an ice vehicle in Minneapolis and, oh, isn't that a tragedy?
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 7: And let's stop enforcing immigration law. Because that's what they're
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 7: going to do. They want to kill their supporters to
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 7: get you to go against the president. The question I
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 7: have is not are we tough enough to survive the
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 7: 90 days. Are we tough enough to fight the people
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 7: who want to destroy our nation? Because that's the real question.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 2: Well, the article, the divorce point is that the violence
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 2: in the street will lead Trump to overreact and invoke
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 2: the Insurrection Act, which will serve their narrative that he's
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 2: a fascist dictator. You know, I mean, it could be worse.
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, the real frightening thing for me is the
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 2: declaration of martial law. You know, where habeas corpus is
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 2: suspended and due process and the like is pretty much suspended.
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 2: That would be the most draconian thing you could possibly do.
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 2: But They want him to do something like that, that
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 2: sort of overreaction.
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I guess I'm on the other side. I
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 7: don't call that an overreaction. I call that an appropriate reaction.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 7: I want him to use the full force of our
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 7: government to destroy these people in our country who just
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 7: say it out loud. Our goal is to overthrow the government.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 7: What more do you want? So what, Brian, do you
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 7: want to just let them burn down these cities and
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 7: kill cops and stuff? Or do you want to stop them?
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 7: I want to stop.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 2: Well, if we don't have Governor Amy Acton, I wouldn't mind,
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 2: you know, short of sharing the laboring war on that,
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 2: our local police force with the help and assistance of
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 2: the National Guard, which they, of course, would invite in
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 2: a state that was maybe Governor Ramaswamy, right? He wouldn't
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 2: resist that concept. We're not blue states. If you see
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 2: blue states, they refuse to allow the National Guard to
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 2: come in to help protect their own citizens and the
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 2: places burned to the ground. I mean, oh, sorry.
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 7: What happened in 16? What happened with DeWine in 16?
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 7: Look at downtown Columbus.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 7: They burned down downtown Columbus, and we didn't send National
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 7: Guard in, and it's still a shithole, okay?
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 2: Hey, hey, hey, hey. All right, all right. Hold on.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 2: I got to hit the dump button, Tom. You're not
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 2: allowed to curse on the morning show.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry.
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 7: Anyway, my point is we did it wrong in 16.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 7: We need to do it right this time. And if
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 7: we do it right, we will finally bring to an
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 7: end this threat to our republic that's real. It's real.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, there's no arguing that. Got you so angry and
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 2: frustrated you cursed on the morning show, Tom. Well, I
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 2: just go back to the Korean shop owners and the L.A.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 2: riots back in the early 90s.
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 7: Okay?
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 2: I'm prepared. The people in France don't have that ability
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 2: to be prepared that way, Tom. Which side of a
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 2: shooting war do you want to be on? The commie
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 2: side or the conservative pro-American side?
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 7: Well, so that's the whole point, right? They can't win
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 7: unless we don't fight.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 7: It's real simple. They have nothing. So why do we
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 7: keep stepping back? Oh, well, it's mostly a peaceful protest.
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 7: And why do we keep letting media outlets, which aren't
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 7: media outlets, that are propaganda outlets, stoking this and fighting
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 7: and giving them a voice about taking down America? When
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 7: do we stop letting the enemy within... Eat our lunch.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 2: That's my question. Yeah, that's a tough word to hoe
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 2: because we do a free speech in this country, and
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 2: I have a political mindset that I articulate on the
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 2: morning show. And, of course, the mainstream media has an
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 2: obviously left-wing political bias. It's what we as a public
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 2: choose to consume, Tom, and how are you going to
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 2: right that ship if people don't pay attention to what
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 2: they do? And I saw that article the other day.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 2: Sixty percent of Americans get their news from four sites.
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 2: Newsdom sites that are very, very liberal, Yahoo, Google, MS Now,
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 2: and what was the other, Amazon or something? I can't remember. Apple, maybe.
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 2: The vast majority of people don't pay attention, and they're
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 2: swayed by this nonsensical argument. We need to right the
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 2: ship ourselves, fix the person staring at you in the mirror,
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 2: and start paying closer attention. But we don't have to
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 2: worry about violence and insurrection becoming Korean shop owners because
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 2: we're not there yet. We can vote, right? We can
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 2: go next week and see that this never happens, Tom.
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 2: That is the point. I know it is. That's why
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 2: I wanted to double down on it before we part
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 2: company this morning, Tom, because I'm with you all day long.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 2: People need to vote. And if they want to run
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 2: out in the streets.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 7: It's in our control, Brian. If we do what I
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 7: think we're going to do, which all the Trump supporters
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 7: who normally don't vote in off-year elections show up, we're
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 7: going to win big, and they're going to have a
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 7: real hard time making the case that it was stolen
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 7: because the margin is going to be so large, it'll
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 7: be clear that we won.
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 2: Let's win.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 7: Let's win next Tuesday.
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 2: Amen, Tom Z. Next Tuesday, TikTok, one week. WeThePeopleConvention.org. Follow him.
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 2: Bookmark the website, and you'll get what Tom talks about
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 2: every day of the week, but also his weekly podcast,
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 2: Well Worth the Listen. Tom, next week, man. All right.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 7: Let's win it.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 2: Hang in there, brother. 748, coming up at 749, 55KRCD
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 2: Talk Station. American-made veterans. It is 753, 55KRCD Talk Station.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 2: Eric Murkhans. Hey, you know, commies have guns too. A
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 2: little picture of Karl Marx. Under no pretext should arms
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: and ammunition be surrendered. Any attempts to disarm the workers
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 2: must be frustrated by force, if necessary. Karl Marx. I
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 2: would just offer, Eric, since they probably don't have any money,
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 2: they can't afford range time. So it becomes a question
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 2: of accuracy. Just saying. And I mentioned earlier this week,
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 2: unrelated to nothing we've been talking about this morning in
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 2: a nice diversion away before we get to more heady
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 2: information from Breitbart News London Bureau Chief Oliver Lane on
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 2: the Marxist protests going on all over Europe. I mentioned
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 2: earlier this morning Microsoft announced that it is buying out, i.e.
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 2: ultimately laying off 60,000 employees, a quarter of its workforce
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 2: because of, of course, artificial intelligence. So They had 223,000 employees,
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 2: so less 60,000, and then add the 9,000 they laid
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 2: off in the spring. That's the writing on the wall.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 2: But here you can decide for yourself whether this is
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 2: a positive development or not. My wife forwarded this little
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 2: blurb to me from Medical Economics, which issued a report
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 2: about artificial intelligence and medicine. An artificial intelligence system developed
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 2: by Microsoft researchers diagnosed complex medical cases, are you ready,
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 2: more accurately than practicing general physicians, often while ordering less
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 2: costly testing. This was a study that was ultimately published
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 2: in Science, I guess, republished by Medical Economics. They said
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 2: the system reached the correct diagnosis in 83.2% of New
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 2: England Journal of Medicine clinical pathological conference cases, according to
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 2: the study. while general physicians who had success to search
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 2: and reference tools scored 36.1 in the same cases. That's
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 2: a huge difference. Study also found that on second set
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 2: of routine emergency department admissions, the AI system was accurate 80.3%
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 2: of the time compared to, ready, 46.8% of the physicians.
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 2: I've always thought in the back of my mind, if
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 2: there's one area where AI is really going to help
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 2: us all, it's probably medicine. You know what's going on
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 2: in med school these days. It's not exactly they're looking
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 2: for meritocracy in terms of admissions, but it's going to
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 2: make practicing medicine so much easier, especially if you can
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 2: feed it in and get the right answer in a
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 2: vastly improved number of times. I always thought about it
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 2: in the idea of PET scans, CT scans, and reviewing scans,
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 2: you know, the human eye versus AI scanning the image,
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 2: probably an improvement on there as well. But that's one
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 2: positive we can take away in terms of artificial intelligence.
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 4: Seven.
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 2: 806, the 55KRC talk station. It's Tuesday. It's that time
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 2: every Tuesday for the Inside Scoop from Breitbart News. That's B-R-E-I-T-B-A-R-T.com.
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 2: Bookmark it. Be glad you did. And joining us today,
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 2: the return of Oliver Lane, who's the Breitbart News London
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 2: Bureau Chief to talk about Marxists running amok all over Europe.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 2: Welcome back, Oliver Lane. It's a pleasure to have you
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 2: back on the show. Oliver? Oliver?
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 5: Hi, can you hear me?
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 2: Now I can hear you. Oliver, good to have you
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 2: back on the show.
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 5: That was the perfect moment for the signal to drop.
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. We've had challenges in the past, usually
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 2: technologically related, Oliver, which leaves me in a lurch when
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking I'm talking to somebody and I'm like, oh,
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 2: hurry up and get a subject to talk about because
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 2: your guest has disappeared. Glad you're there and glad you're
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 2: here to talk about this. We start out in France. Well,
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 2: it started out at least purportedly as a protest from
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 2: students about the conditions in schools. And, uh, I, whether
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 2: or not that's true, it was that whole thing seemed
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 2: to have been co-opted. And now there's a whole coalition.
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 2: You got the red green folks out there, which are
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 2: the Marxist and the Islamist. You got students still there.
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 2: You have the yellow vesters, which are the farmers. You've
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 2: got your global warming fanatics that are out there. It
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 2: seems to be this, this mixed bag, uh, alliance of
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 2: convenience that's unfolded there. So France responded. The French government said, OK, OK, OK,
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 2: I hear your protests to students out there. We're going
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 2: to cap classes at 28 students and blah, blah, blah.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 2: We're going to offer all kinds of relief for these
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 2: alleged claims about the school system. But that's not going
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 2: to make this go away, is it, Oliver? No, indeed.
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 5: And you've explained what's going on very succinctly there, which
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 5: is that we had an organic protest movement, sure, months
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 5: ago now, which was utterly co-opted by the left. And
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 5: there's a really... fascinating interview that was published in a
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 5: French newspaper yesterday with the former head of France's CIA equivalent.
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 5: And this guy, always very interesting, and because he's now
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 5: outside of the system, can really speak his mind and
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 5: his diagnosis of what's going on. And importantly, why this
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 5: is different to other riots in France, because I think
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 5: as anybody watching what's going on here knows that Yes,
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 5: they have riots in France quite a lot. They do
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 5: it every year. That's kind of part of France's culture
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 5: in a way, going back to the revolution of the
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 5: 18th century. But it's different this time. And his, and
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 5: I say, I think his view is one that's really
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 5: worth listening to. which is that for the first time
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 5: we have these disparate groups that you could say are
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 5: on the left, certainly some of them are, and you
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 5: have these standard left-wing students, you have the radicals, the
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 5: black bloc, the antifa, if you like, these organised hard-left groups,
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 5: Then you have the unassimilated migrant, large numbers of migrants
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 5: who don't feel French, who don't feel connected to France.
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 5: And actually, there's not a lot of common ground between
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 5: these groups. I mean, what does a white middle class
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 5: French leftist really have with an unassimilated, unemployed migrant group?
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 5: So there's not a lot of common ground there, actually,
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 5: other than perhaps a common hatred for the West and
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 5: that sort of thing. But what's being said here is
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 5: that actually, basically for the first time, these disparate groups that,
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 5: as I say, don't have a great deal in common
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 5: have managed to coordinate. And this is new. And this
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 5: is why these riots, I mean, okay, they may or
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 5: may not be more or less intense than other riots
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 5: that have gone before. You could say, oh, well, these
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 5: riots in 2020, these were bigger. The fact is this
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 5: has a great deal of potential to get much worse.
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 5: And there's a certain pattern that's emerged. And again, I
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 5: find this is fascinating analysis from this former head of
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 5: the French CIA homologue. And he says that every day
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 5: they have one of their protest days. We had one
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 5: on Saturday just gone. The Saturday before that, it kind
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 5: of comes in waves. And he described it as being like,
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 5: you remember those enormous Saturn V booster rockets that took
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 5: man to space? The huge boosters that took the shuttle
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 5: into space? And they worked on sort of stages. So
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 5: like you'd have the first stage that would burn up
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 5: and then it would get disconnected. It would fall back
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 5: to earth. Then you'd have the next stage that would
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 5: burn and so on and so on. So you have
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 5: three stages and that would finally get you into space.
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 5: And he compares it to this. So in the morning
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 5: of a protest day, you have what you might call
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 5: like the legitimate protesters, people who are out, they've got placards,
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 5: they march up and down the street. They're not fighting
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 5: with the police. They're there because they want change. You know,
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 5: these might be in this case, The students, they go
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 5: home at lunchtime. Then in the afternoon, running into evening,
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 5: you move then into the professional protesters. This is your Antifa.
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 5: This is your black bloc. They take over where the
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 5: previous group left off. This is violence, clashing with police.
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 5: These guys are hardcore left-wing radicals. They then give up
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 5: when midnight rolls around and you have the third act,
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 5: this third stage in the booster, where taking over from
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 5: the Antifa or the black bloc radicals are the unassimilated
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 5: migrants who are out. And they're basically just looting. This
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 5: is rioting and looting. So you have this sort of
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 5: three stage and every single one ratchets up the violence,
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 5: ratchets up the intensity. So you have these three stages
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 5: of protesters through the day.
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 2: But guess what?
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 5: There's only one stage of police. They are thoroughly out
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 5: of energy by the end of the day, by the
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 5: time you're rolling through into the next morning. And as
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 5: it was this Saturday just gone, the French state put
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 5: everything they had on the front line to avoid a
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 5: repeat of the previous week. Every single police officer in
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 5: the country was out. All leave cancelled. All other police
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 5: duties put aside. The army deployed to hold rear echelon
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 5: areas so they could have as many cops as they
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 5: could on the front line. The problem is, once you've
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 5: reached that maximum possible deployment, if the riots keep getting worse,
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 5: you're out of options.
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 2: Well, I guess one from the United States of America
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 2: might point to an armed citizenry in the Second Amendment
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 2: as maybe providing some support for the overwhelmed forces that
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 2: are trying to keep the government alive and well. Absolutely.
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 2: I had to interject that.
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 5: No, no, we've had some reports on this at Breitbart
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 5: News in recent days. On one hand, we had a report,
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 5: I think it was on Friday, about French shopkeepers, Parisian shopkeepers,
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 5: flocking to the city's handful of gun stores to buy
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 5: self-defense items. But of course, to own a firearm for
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 5: the express intent of self-defense in most of Europe, certainly
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 5: in the UK, is completely illegal. You will definitely go
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 5: to jail for that. So what are they left to get?
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 5: They're picking up pepper sprays, defensive items like that, batons,
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 5: A lot of this also is illegal, right? So they
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 5: feel like the police are not necessarily going to be
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 5: there for them. And I know it's easy to look
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 5: at the French and say, they're so passive, they're so reserved.
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 5: The silent majority remains silent. They're not doing anything to
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 5: stand up against these riots. And again, this is, again,
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 5: back to the words of this former director of the
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 5: French CIA equivalent. He says... And again, I think this
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 5: is a great point. Don't be too disheartened when you
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 5: see the French people continuing to rely on the police,
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 5: even though the police aren't doing a great job. This
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 5: shows enormous restraint on their behalves. And the moment the
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 5: silent majority take up arms and start fighting back, you
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 5: no longer have a state. The state the state monopoly
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 5: on violence is broken.
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 2: It's over.
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 5: There is no longer a French government and the country
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 5: is in a state of civil war, which I think
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 5: we all want to avoid.
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would think I agree with you completely on
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 2: that one, Oliver Lane. But now there are those out
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 2: there like you look at the the red coalition, the
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 2: Marxist out there. They want to bring down the system.
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 2: That is their goal. You know, you know, capitalism, evil.
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 2: But you've this is they're living in socialism now. I mean,
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 2: isn't it Marx's theory that you have to work through
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 2: a period of socialism before you can get to communism? Well,
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 2: socialism has epically failed. So you either go back to
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 2: what worked before, which was maybe unrestrained capitalism, or at
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 2: least regulated capitalism like we have in here in the
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 2: United States, or you go full-on communism. This socialism clearly
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 2: doesn't work. Look at France's finances. They gave the socialists
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 2: everything they wanted. Retire at age 62, get a fat pension,
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 2: you know, free this, free that, free health care, which
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 2: really isn't. And they're underwater, and they have been for
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 2: years and years. Oliver, you can't right this ship, can you?
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 2: Absent draconian cuts, which would only make these riots situation worse,
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 2: I would imagine.
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 5: So what we've identified there is completely right, which is
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 5: that France has one of the worst debt-to-GDP ratios of
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 5: any country in the European Union. I think their national
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 5: debt is about 110%, 120%. of GDP, which is that
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 5: is well above what the European Union officially says it
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 5: should be, which is about 66% or something. So we're
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 5: well ahead. And I think it's the second or third
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 5: worst after real basket cases like Greece. So France is
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 5: in a lot of trouble. It's in hock to the
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 5: bond markets because they borrowed so much money. And if
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 5: they want to keep that show on the road, they
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 5: have to keep borrowing money because their expenditure is greater
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 5: than their tax receipts. And this goes, I'm going to
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 5: cite another contextual expert on this. And this is where
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 5: the real concern comes in. This is Professor David Bett,
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 5: a professor of war in the modern world at King's
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 5: College London. And he is an academic studying civil wars,
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 5: how civil wars happen, why they happen, And his thesis,
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 5: which is fascinating, is that we have this perception in
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 5: the West that civil wars don't happen here. I mean, OK,
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 5: the US had a civil war. England had a civil war.
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 5: These were a very long time ago now. In the
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 5: modern world, post-Second World War world, wealthy first world countries
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 5: simply don't have them. This is a third world thing.
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 5: And he looks at the reasons for this. And one
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 5: of them is that as long as the state has money,
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 5: it can keep the wheels on.
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 5: As long as you can keep buying off special interest groups,
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 5: you can keep bribing people, you can keep that welfare flowing.
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 5: That is provides just enough soporific money. social safety that
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 5: people aren't taking up arms as long as the welfare
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 5: keeps coming. So if you look at these two facts
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 5: we've introduced here, which is on one hand, as long
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 5: as first world countries have enough money to bribe people
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 5: into being quiet, everything will be okay. And on the
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 5: other hand, France is broke. Add those two things together,
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 5: where does that leave you?
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 2: Chaos, violence in the street, a collapsing system. I mean,
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 2: the only exacerbated the problem, I don't know what the
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 2: hell the European Union was thinking with this open borders reality.
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, France, at least you could argue, had a
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 2: cultural identity. I have a good friend. Matter of fact,
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 2: I'm having lunch with him today. He's in from France
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 2: making a trip here. We're going to have lunch. He
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 2: married a French citizen years and years ago, and he
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 2: became a French citizen himself because he mastered the language.
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 2: They insisted on that, along with knowing the history of France,
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 2: the culture of France. It was a rigorous thing to
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 2: become a French citizen, but there's part of the culture.
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 2: That's the point of having this regulated immigration system. You
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 2: bring a whole bunch of North African Islamists into that
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 2: formerly identity-rich French culture, what do they expect to happen?
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 2: Most notably in a system that is overwhelmed by debt
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 2: and spending that can't be sustained within its own population.
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 2: It's like they designed this to collapse.
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 5: And it's also, I've always thought, reasonably ironic because in
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 5: a world where actually all of our identities and all
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 5: of our cultures are being slowly eroded as we sort
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 5: of move towards a homogenous global single culture, I think
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 5: it's a terribly sad thing because there are so many
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 5: wonderful cultures on every continent of the world and this
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 5: globe is richer and more interesting and more varied and
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 5: more valuable for them. And as they're slowly eroded away,
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 5: I think that's a great loss.
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 1: But.
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 5: the French are quite chauvinistic about their culture. And that's
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 5: what you describe with your friend, who, as you say,
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 5: was very rightly forced to become French. If you wanted
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 5: to hold that French passport, you had to learn the language,
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 5: you had to learn the culture. And the French are,
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 5: as I say, quite chauvinistic about that. The irony, as
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 5: I say, is they're almost running it at two speeds.
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 5: On one hand, the French are very, very jealous of
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 5: their culture. They hate speaking English. They love to, like
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 5: every other European, you go to any country in Europe,
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 5: you find people who speak English anywhere. And even if
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 5: you tried to speak to them in their own language,
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 5: they're like, look, you know, thanks for trying. We appreciate it,
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 5: but let's do this in English. You go to France,
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 5: they want to speak French. They want to do their culture.
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 5: They want to do the things they do. That's good.
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 5: But at the same time, so that's the front door.
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 5: The front door is bolted. It's armed against the world.
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 5: They still speak the French language. They still have this
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 5: French culture. But then the back door is wide open.
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 5: So as they maintain this brave face to the world
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 5: of this, as I say, this Gaul, this Gallic chauvinism,
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 5: and I mean that in a good way. I'm not
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 5: saying they're chauvinistic in a bad way. I admire that
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 5: about them. But while they do it, the foundations are
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 5: being eroded, and the whole edifice is going to come
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 5: crashing down around them.
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 2: No question about it. And here I can only make
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 2: the argument on the fly here that I would say
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 2: that culture identity is cloaked in freedom, the concept of freedom,
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 2: the liberty to do what you want, free of government control,
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 2: to pursue your own interests, to become successful. The entrepreneurial
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 2: spirit is uniquely American, I would argue, and that is
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 2: exactly what's being eroded here in our political system. And
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 2: I would say exacerbated as well by this unchecked, unregulated
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 2: flow of immigration that we only recently got on top of.
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 5: Well, this is the point I repeatedly make, and I
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 5: repeatedly make it because it's so important. America, please, God,
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 5: even if you don't care about us Europeans, and I
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 5: can't blame you for that, pay attention to what's happening here,
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 5: because what's happening here, we are months and years ahead
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 5: of you in the US. What the left does here
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 5: is what the Democrats want to do to you there.
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 5: President Trump said himself last week, the spires of Europe
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 5: are burning, and we will not allow that to happen here.
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 5: And I think that's too right.
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 2: In bold, underline, exclamation point, Oliver Lane, the London Bureau
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 2: Chief for Breitbart News. God bless you, sir. Appreciate the
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 2: time you spent with my listeners and me today, and
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 2: I'll look forward to having Breitbart on again next week.
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 2: Keep up the great work, my friend. King, Vermont, 55, KRC,
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 2: The Talk Station. 823, Cotterman, 824, 55, KRC, The Talk Station.
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 2: A couple moments in time here in this segment before
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 2: we get to the Daniel Davis deep dive. I'm just wondering,
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 2: in the final analysis, if you're a betting person, you're
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 2: going over to the couch and you've got to put
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 2: a bet on the red or the green in terms
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 2: of this weird red-green alliance going on in Europe. So
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 2: you have Marxist and Islamist fundamentalists who want to bring
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 2: about a caliphate or something. They clearly are not aligned
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 2: with Western values or interests, or most notably, in the
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 2: case of France, anything related to France. So this coalition
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 2: of convenience or alliance of convenience that exists between Marxists
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 2: who want to bring it all down and fundamentalist Islamists. Okay,
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 2: now the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 2: there you go. Join up with those two, riot in
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 2: the streets, bring about the end of France or any
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 2: other European country. So you got two teams left standing.
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 2: I know this is a just boiled down, easy to
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 2: look at, but what do those two coalitions have in common?
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 2: Last time I checked, Marxists don't believe in religion anymore.
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 2: Because religion, of course, puts something beyond the state, a
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 2: higher power, the Prophet Muhammad in this particular case. Yeah,
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 2: there's a whole lot of problems between the two. So
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 2: who wins? You got Islamists on one side and Marxists
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 2: on the other. I'd say if both sides were armed,
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 2: I got to go with the Islamists on that one. 825-55-KRC,
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 2: The Talk Station. We'll see what Daniel Davis has to
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 2: say coming up next. The Talk Station. 829-55KRC, The Talk Station.
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 2: A very happy Tuesday to you. Always a special time
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 2: of the week to be tuning in or listening to
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 2: the 55KRC Morning Show or checking out the podcast later
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 2: in the day, 55KRC. iHeart. com. It's that time of the week
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 2: where we get the alliterative Daniel Davis deep dive. Retired
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 2: Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis offering up all his knowledge and
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 2: wisdom and tapping into his resources to give us updates
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 2: about the various wars going on in the world. Welcome back,
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 2: my friend, Daniel Davis. It's always good to have you
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 2: on the program.
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 9: And it's always good to be here, Brian. Thanks for
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 9: having me back.
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 2: And forgive me a little bit. for not being as
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 2: up to date on the conflicts, the various conflicts. Really
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 2: been focusing a lot on the upcoming election. We've got
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 2: a hell of a battle going on here in the
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 2: state of Ohio, so it's been dominating the morning show news.
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 2: But I know it's still going on over there, and
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 2: the challenges seem to be getting a little bit bigger.
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 2: One of the developments which I thought was interesting, Egypt
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 2: has now decided to send troops into Saudi Arabia to
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 2: defend against the Houthi rebel attacks that have been going
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 2: on for some time now. And I think talking to you,
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 2: the Houthis are a substantial military presence. Hundreds of thousands
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 2: of Houthis that are waging this war against Saudi. And
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 2: they're doing it primarily because we have a presence in
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia. Is that correct?
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 2: Partially.
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 12: It's not really about us, actually. There are definitely hundreds
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 12: of thousands, and apparently they're mobilizing more. It could be
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 12: north of half a million here shortly, if it's not already.
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 12: This is an issue that goes back for many, many years,
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 12: and actually decades, between Ansar Allah, the Houthis, and Saudi Arabia.
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 12: It was sparked when Saudi Arabia attacked the airport at
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 12: Sana'a last August, when the Supreme Leader's funeral was going on,
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 12: and they were sending a delegation there. that sparked, re-sparked,
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 12: because they had been in a ceasefire since 2022, and
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 12: now it's come back into a hot phase.
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 9: You mentioned about Egypt. We'll see what actually.
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 12: Comes about from that, how many troops and what kind
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 12: of troops. That's kind of important because Egypt itself has
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 12: some bad experience in the past with the Houthis in Yemen.
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 12: So I doubt that they're going to sign up to
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 12: be putting a lot of combat power. But I don't
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 12: think that all of Saudi Arabia's allies together have enough
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 12: ground forces to be able to stop Ansar Allah on
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 12: the ground. And they may even, Ansar Allah may take
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 12: even three Saudi provinces on the southwest corner of Saudi
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 12: Arabia because they're at real risk right now.
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 2: Well, which sort of brings to mind Russia going into
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 2: the Ukraine and taking over a chunk of Ukraine. Are
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 2: we going to be doing this now? Is this what
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 2: we should expect in the future? Because that's a real
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 2: new development, Daniel Davis.
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, there was, I mean, I would say
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 9: just think about last year, last.
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 12: May, when President Trump went to Saudi Arabia and on
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 12: this whole Middle East tour. And, man, it looked like
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 12: the whole Gulf Arab countries and the whole Emirates were
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 12: all this strength, the bastion of strength and economic power
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 12: and oil and all that.
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 12: And all these deals that were going to be done.
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 12: And now then just barely a year, a little over
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 12: a year later, the whole place is on fire and
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 12: potentially falling apart in Saudi Arabia itself. is genuinely at
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 12: risk of dissolution, both from fracturing inside and then from
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 12: the external pressure of the Houthis. So it's just hard
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 12: to believe how much change is coming. So at least
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 12: right now, yeah, there are some real problems, and you
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 12: could add Iraq to that if you wanted to.
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 2: Well, go ahead and add Iraq to that now. How
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 2: do they factor into this equation?
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 12: Yeah, so the United States finally completed its final withdrawal,
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 12: so that took a lot of the pressure off.
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 2: Off of the Iraqi.
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 12: Government, but it also opened up some space. And by
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 12: the way, I'm definitely for the withdrawal, and I applaud
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 12: President Trump for doing so, because all it did is
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 12: make it more difficult, not even impossible, for the Iran-backed militia,
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 12: which are part of the official Iraqi security forces. They
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 12: may actually take action against Saudi Arabia, too. And you
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 12: may recall before we left, the U.S. and Saudi Arabia
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 12: together attacked forces inside of Iraq, which just kind of
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 12: stirred that pot up, in my personal opinion. So now
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 12: there are three separate directions that Saudi Arabia is at
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 12: risk from, Iran, Iraq, and Yemen.
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 2: Where are we relative to our military strategy just with Iran?
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, ignoring the chaos that's unfolding all around the area, I, again,
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 2: keep hearing the chaos suggestions or veiled or otherwise or
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 2: out loud overt suggestions that the kinetic activity, the bombing
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 2: is going to start and that really don't know when
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 2: these threats keep coming from Donald Trump. But we always
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 2: you and I always go back to the practical reality.
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 2: It sounds great to the rabid mob out there that
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 2: just wants to roll over Iran as if it would
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 2: be an easy thing. It's not. It never has become easier.
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 2: We still have, you know, a country that's two and
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 2: a half times the size of Texas. We have limited
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 2: arms that we can use. They have a seemingly unlimited
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 2: number of drones and missiles they can rely on. It's
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 2: just day after day status quo and week after week,
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 2: as far as you and I are concerned, or rather
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 2: year after year we're getting on. Daniel, has anything changed
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 2: at all?
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, there are really contradictory signals coming, not
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 12: just out of the White House, but out of President
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 12: Trump himself, because on the one hand, he, I think
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 12: on Sunday, made a pretty strong statement that, you know, hey,
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 12: they're either going to make a deal or we're going
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 12: to go in and finish the job, etc.
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 9: But then he also said, I think the day before,
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 9: he said, or maybe we could just do nothing.
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 12: You just let them wither on the vine and just
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 12: let this go indefinitely until they eventually just starve out
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 12: or the economy finally collapses because of our Operation Economic
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 12: Fury or whatever they're calling it today.
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 9: So we don't really know.
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 12: I can tell you, though, for anyone who thinks that, no,
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 12: go finish the job, then you have to explain how,
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 12: if you're going to have the same weapons, the same missiles,
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 12: the same rockets flying going against the same targets on
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 12: these mountains and underneath these mountains that didn't work in
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 12: two kinetic rounds already, and actually three if you go
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 12: back to 2025, then you have to say, why would
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 12: you want to go back again and expect a different outcome?
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 9: Because here's the key thing.
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 12: Whereas we don't have any new targets to go after
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 12: of military significance, meaning where the missiles and drones are located,
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 12: Iran does have additional targets it has not attacked previously.
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 9: From our side, which are very.
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 12: Much out in the open and vulnerable, like economic targets,
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 12: energy targets, desalination plants, et cetera, all are indefensible from us.
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 12: So we don't want to go down this path because
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 12: we can't knock them out, and we can suffer.
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 2: A lot more harm. Well, and that brought to mind
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 2: these easy-to-hit military targets or United States-affiliated targets. That could
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 2: be anywhere in the United States, too. And I saw
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 2: the Pentagon release this doomsday scenario, this fortress scenario, unprecedented plan,
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 2: Brandon Fortress, which is hardening our military bases so they
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 2: can be self-sufficient, have their own energy, their own stockpiles.
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 2: In other words, be able to live off a grid
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 2: that they expect is going to be taken out by
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 2: the Chinese Communist Party or some foreign actor who's hacked
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 2: into our systems. I mean, we are open targets. The
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 2: oceans of the world don't protect us like they used
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 2: to anymore. Daniel Davis, do you have any concerns along
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 2: those lines? This could impact expand, the Iranians would look
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 2: beyond the region and start targeting American interests literally anywhere
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 2: they happen to be?
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 9: I'll tell you why that worries me. Not because of Iran.
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 9: Iran doesn't have the capacity to do that.
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 12: There are only two states on the planet that have
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 12: the capacity to prompt that kind of protection on American
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 12: bases throughout the continental United States, and that is Russia
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 12: and China. And the fact that they're talking about doing
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 12: this right now makes me worry. Do they know something
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 12: that we don't know yet? Because The level of protection
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 12: and expansion of the infrastructure and to be able to
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 12: sustain for 90 days on.
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 9: Not just get a cyber attack somewhere.
• 2:05:31
  Speaker 12: We've got a pretty good system against those, obviously. And
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 12: for Iran itself, they wouldn't do that because, number one,
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 12: they don't have the capacity. And all they're interested in
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 12: is to get the United States out of the Middle East.
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 12: And to do that at the lowest cost, striking the
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 12: continental United States they know would almost certainly prompt a
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 12: nuclear weapon.
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 9: So they're not going to do that.
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 12: It's not in their interest. You don't have to trust
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 12: them or anything else. But if we're getting ready like that,
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 12: I'm worried about the two nations that can do something
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 12: and do have the capacity. And I just don't know
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 12: if they know something we don't know.
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 2: Well, the timing was rather suspicious because the British Defense Secretary,
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 2: Wes Streeting, said his country needs to be ready within
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 2: 1,000 days and advised citizens to stock up on essential supplies.
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 2: because of these same kind of veiled threats. Now, he
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 2: did specifically say Russia, which is one of the reasons
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 2: why I bring this up. The timing with the warning
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 2: here in the United States is a concern, and they're
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 2: warning the British population about this. But I think this
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 2: has to be concerning them more beyond Russia, because as
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 2: you and I have talked about, the likelihood of Russia
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 2: launching a war against a NATO country is pretty slim,
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 2: unless your perception of that has changed. So maybe they're
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 2: concerned as well.
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 12: Well, Striding actually, and I'm going to be showing this
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 12: on my show here in a couple of hours, he
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 12: met with his Polish counterpart, and it was either this
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 12: morning or yesterday, and he did expressly say, we have
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 12: to be ready for war against Russia because they're a
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 12: terrorist state. So he specifically named them, at least in
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 12: this particular iteration here. And Russia is never going to
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 12: attack Europe and NATO unless Europe and NATO continue to
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 12: press attacks into Russia via– Ukraine.
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 9: So we're playing with fire.
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 12: When we continue to support Ukraine, which can never win
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 12: this war, it's definitely impossible for them to do so.
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 2: But it is.
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 12: Possible for us to expand the war if we keep
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 12: striking long enough and hard enough. And also yesterday, this
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 12: is critically important and possibly related to this development in
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 12: the United States. Karaganov, who was a well-known kind of
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 12: far-right figure in Russia, openly advocates the use of nuclear
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 12: weapons in against the West as a means of restoring deterrence.
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 12: And he said, we should not be afraid of using them.
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 12: We could win a war in Europe in three days.
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 2: A nuclear war.
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 12: He thinks they can win it. Now, he's been out
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 12: on the right. The problem is, from some other sources
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 12: I have, he has now moved, his thoughts are more
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 12: centrist in Russia now. And he has a direct line.
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 12: to President Putin. So we can never rule out that
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 12: they may finally get tired enough and say, you know what,
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 12: we're just going to have to go. So we should
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 12: not unnecessarily poke the bear if it's not going to
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 12: help us out.
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 2: Well, and I think most people when they consider attack,
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 2: they think about bombs being dropped, people, you know, forces invading.
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 2: But I would argue, and I think I may be
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 2: on solid ground here, even though I'm just pulling this
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 2: out of my sphincter, you could probably do as much
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 2: damage as a nuclear weapon by just shutting off the
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 2: electric grid. People will die. Chaos will ensue. You can't
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 2: get access to your bank accounts. Grocery stores won't be
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 2: open anymore. I mean, the entire society would come to
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 2: a screeching halt if the energy system were to completely
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 2: go under. That, to me, is a bigger threat than
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 2: even a bomb.
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 12: And I'll tell you that that idea is definitely on
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 12: the minds of many Russian thinkers right now. And they
• 2:08:51
  Speaker 12: are even saying that they're saying, listen, we don't need
• 2:08:53
  Speaker 12: to have an army to go invade NATO. If that's
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 12: what you guys if you're forcing one on us, we
• 2:08:59
  Speaker 12: would go with our ballistic missiles.
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 9: We would go with our arrestings. We would go with
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 9: our hypersonics.
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 12: And they have openly said we would hit your economic centers,
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 12: your banking centers. your electric centers, and your factories to
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 12: produce long-range drones and missiles. I mean, they would go
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 12: after those specific things, and you're right. That would literally
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 12: just bring our economic to a standstill, aside from all
• 2:09:21
  Speaker 12: the other problems that are already out there. Now, Russia's
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 12: vulnerable too, but that's not helping anybody if we get
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 12: into a war that we can't win and could cause
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 12: that much damage for a country that has no interest
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 12: or ability to invade us. So we need to cool
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 12: the jets and start talking a lot more about diplomacy.
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 2: Well, I concur with you on that, and that's about
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 2: as far as we're going to get towards solutions today,
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 2: Daniel Davis. We keep trying. Someday it'll happen. You and
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 2: I will come up with the answer to everyone's problems,
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 2: and we'll just go on. We will. Find something else
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 2: to do with our days. Daniel Davis, Deep Dive. Find
