Speaker 1: at seven oh five, fall By, it is Wednesday, Donald
1:11
Speaker 1: and Neil Americans for Prosperity calling on Democrats to end
1:14
Speaker 1: the shutdown. It is squarely in the lape of the Democrats.
1:17
Speaker 1: Gonna have to talk about that's more. This morning Number
1:19
Speaker 1: thirteen shot down. Yes, the Democrats blocked another funding effort,
1:24
Speaker 1: the Continuing Resolution, keeping funding levels at twenty twenty four levels.
1:27
Speaker 1: The Biden administration levels. We all know the arguments, we
1:29
Speaker 1: all know the reasons why we have a shutdown. It's
1:31
Speaker 1: the only thing that Democrats have by way of leverage.
1:34
Speaker 1: And I'll get into that detail just a moment here
1:36
Speaker 1: eight oh five, looking forward to having retired Captain russ Neville,
1:40
Speaker 1: since a police department. Captain russ Neville a storied law
1:43
Speaker 1: enforcement family. You know who his sister is, police chief
1:47
Speaker 1: three Satichi and Rick Neville's brother was having retired Hamilton
1:52
Speaker 1: County Sheriff or Hamilon County Sheriff's Office captain. So they've
1:57
Speaker 1: got like decades and decades and decade aids of law
2:00
Speaker 1: enforcement experience. Well here from russ Neville, see who's going
2:02
Speaker 1: to support his sister's position? Is he going to go
2:04
Speaker 1: after the administration? I know signal ninety nine. If you're
2:08
Speaker 1: out this signal. Been reading what you're writing on fate
2:10
Speaker 1: on Facebook. She's got her thumb on the pulse of
2:14
Speaker 1: everything going on in this mess, including documents and internal exchanges,
2:19
Speaker 1: pointing out that indeed Police Chief Teresadiji was not free
2:22
Speaker 1: to go it alone and do what she thought by
2:24
Speaker 1: the way of best practices in law enforcement. She had
2:26
Speaker 1: to get approval now we'll get to the details on
2:28
Speaker 1: that a little bit later as well, but now looking
2:31
Speaker 1: real good. As far as I'm concerned for aftab Purval.
2:33
Speaker 1: The only problem is is anybody in the city of
2:35
Speaker 1: sincer only paying attention to this and using it and
2:37
Speaker 1: factoring into the equation of whether or not he is
2:39
Speaker 1: worthy to continue to be the mayor of the City
2:41
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. I mean, it really has nothing to show
2:45
Speaker 1: for the four years he's been in that office as
2:47
Speaker 1: far as I'm concerned. He did his best efforts to
2:49
Speaker 1: prove that he's actually done something in his open letter
2:51
Speaker 1: that was published in the enquire but I couldn't find
2:53
Speaker 1: anything solid in there anyway. Russ Neville eight oh five
2:57
Speaker 1: will be in studio for a full half hour and
2:59
Speaker 1: the follow by Judge in an Apolitano Wednesday's at eight
3:01
Speaker 1: thirty we get the judge today, jailed in America for
3:04
Speaker 1: free speech. Sounds like something to be going on in
3:06
Speaker 1: the United Kingdom, where they don't have freemom speech. We
3:09
Speaker 1: do have it enshrined in our constitution, and thank God
3:11
Speaker 1: for it. But there's a lot of folks in high
3:13
Speaker 1: positions and prosecutor's office, and well, I don't really believe that.
3:18
Speaker 1: So the story he unfolds and explains in his op
3:20
Speaker 1: ed piece, which I fortunately get a copy of early,
3:23
Speaker 1: really are horrific and hard to believe that it's going
3:26
Speaker 1: on in America. That'll be at eight thirty with Judge
3:28
Speaker 1: and an Apolitano. Ah cool brother Dre is coming back
3:31
Speaker 1: on tomorrow. Andre Ewing another outspoken critic of the Provoll administration.
3:37
Speaker 1: Former retired police officer. He is thirty years under his belt.
3:43
Speaker 1: I have tremendous respect for Dre and what he says.
3:46
Speaker 1: He is passionate about his position. You may be passionate
3:50
Speaker 1: about your position as well. Feel free to voice it
3:52
Speaker 1: here on the fifty five Carency Morning Show five on three, seven, four, nine,
3:55
Speaker 1: fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three
3:57
Speaker 1: Talk Pound five point fifty on at and T all Right,
4:00
Speaker 1: check it out here. Thirteenth time. Democrats yesterday voted number thirteen,
4:05
Speaker 1: blocking the House pass bill to reopen the federal government
4:08
Speaker 1: fifty four to forty five. That's kind of what the
4:11
Speaker 1: running tally has been. You have the three Democrat members
4:14
Speaker 1: of the Senate. You got Fetterman, Cortes, Mosto, and Angus
4:19
Speaker 1: King Kings from Maine, Catherine Cortez Motso from Nevadam. There's
4:26
Speaker 1: the three need a handful more, need sixty total votes
4:30
Speaker 1: to get over the hurdle, which is lang squarely in
4:33
Speaker 1: the Democrats lap, and hell is getting ready to be paid.
4:36
Speaker 1: So Johnson showed a chart yesterday. Speaker Johnson, here's his
4:40
Speaker 1: point four specific points. Mate one, Democrat voters votes rather
4:45
Speaker 1: are required to open the government. Fair enough, you need
4:49
Speaker 1: sixty in the Senate. So that statement obviously is one
4:53
Speaker 1: of those no kidding kind of statements. But this is
4:56
Speaker 1: the setup. Need Democrats to open the government. All of
5:02
Speaker 1: the Republicans are voting to open the government. So there's
5:06
Speaker 1: your point. Number two. Democrats have voted thirteen times to
5:09
Speaker 1: keep the government closed. Fact Number three Democrats refuse to
5:12
Speaker 1: fund the government unless Congress restores left wing projects. Fact
5:15
Speaker 1: that's their argument. Their counterproposal to continuing last year's funding
5:20
Speaker 1: levels was a one point five trillion dollar add on,
5:24
Speaker 1: which is a non starter. And finally, the point number four,
5:29
Speaker 1: Democrats admit to using pain as their leverage and boast
5:34
Speaker 1: every day gets better for us. And we've got a
5:36
Speaker 1: couple of quotes on that. Senator Chris Coons admitted that, yes,
5:41
Speaker 1: just the other day, admitted on National TV. And for
5:47
Speaker 1: the folks that are going to miss out on their
5:48
Speaker 1: snap benefits, he's willing to starve you because it's the
5:53
Speaker 1: only leverage they have. Pain heap down upon you a
5:57
Speaker 1: program created by Democrats to help those online life's margins. Please,
6:01
Speaker 1: Dear God, we need to help them. It's our Christian obligation.
6:04
Speaker 1: I got a word or two of beg Kevin Newson
6:05
Speaker 1: here in a moment on that anyway, he says. Kuhne says,
6:09
Speaker 1: it's principally a fight over healthcare and trying to prevent
6:11
Speaker 1: what's going to happen on November first, which is millions
6:14
Speaker 1: of Americans get notices that their health insurance is going
6:16
Speaker 1: to double in costs. That'll impact Americans. Republicans control the House,
6:20
Speaker 1: fast forwarding in his quote the Senate and the White House. Frankly,
6:23
Speaker 1: this is our only moment of leverage. And although a
6:27
Speaker 1: very unpleasant tool to use. Hm Housemann already whip. Katherine Clark,
6:34
Speaker 1: Democrat Massachusetts, already said something like that a couple of
6:36
Speaker 1: weeks ago. We take that responsibility very seriously. That families
6:40
Speaker 1: are going to suffer her words, noting that families are
6:44
Speaker 1: going to suffer, and they take the responsibility very seriously. Quote,
6:47
Speaker 1: but it's one of the few leverage times we have,
6:52
Speaker 1: so heaping pain upon life, smart folks, on life's margins
6:56
Speaker 1: in order to expand the role of government and of
6:59
Speaker 1: course create the fallacy of the fau view that Obamacare
7:03
Speaker 1: can survive on its own without propping up your insurance payments.
7:07
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom snap, benefits are going to be cut, so
7:12
Speaker 1: he took to the Bible. Yes, California Governor Gavin Newsom
7:15
Speaker 1: invoked Biblical teachings in order to guilt you into well
7:21
Speaker 1: expanding Obamacare the subsidies. Actually, he was talking yesterday in Sacramento.
7:28
Speaker 1: He cited the teachings from Matthew, Isaiah Luke and Proverbs
7:31
Speaker 1: as evidence that feeding the poor is, in his words,
7:34
Speaker 1: core and central to what it is to align to
7:38
Speaker 1: God's will. Quote, it's not a suggestion in the Old
7:43
Speaker 1: Testament and New Testament. Newsom said, these guys need to
7:46
Speaker 1: stop the bs in Washington. They're sitting there in their
7:49
Speaker 1: prayer breakfast. Maybe they got an edited version of President
7:52
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's Bible and they edited out all of that out,
7:56
Speaker 1: Cruelty is the policy. Oh wait, wait, wait, wait, crush
8:00
Speaker 1: just admit that it's cruel to keep the government shut down,
8:03
Speaker 1: but it's the only leverage they got. Cruelty is the
8:05
Speaker 1: policy of the Democrats at this moment in time. Gavin,
8:10
Speaker 1: But who are in the hell are you to cite Scripture?
8:13
Speaker 3: Uh?
8:14
Speaker 1: Can I get a headcount here? How many people believe
8:16
Speaker 1: we live in a theocracy? Joe? Is there a Church
8:21
Speaker 1: of the United States like they have a Church of England. Now,
8:24
Speaker 1: you didn't get the memo on that one. Neither did
8:26
Speaker 1: I founding fathers lived under the thumb of having to
8:29
Speaker 1: deal with the Church of England when they were colonies.
8:31
Speaker 1: They were forced to pay taxes to keep churches down
8:34
Speaker 1: the street open even if you were't a member of
8:35
Speaker 1: the church. They said, no free exercise of religion. There
8:40
Speaker 1: is no establishment of religion in the United States of America.
8:43
Speaker 1: So if you're invoking scripture, just stop for a moment
8:45
Speaker 1: and say, hmm, what if Gavin Newsan started citing the Qoran?
8:51
Speaker 1: How come Newson didn't cite the Koran in reference what
8:54
Speaker 1: Mohammad said about I don't know the snap program or
8:56
Speaker 1: something render under Caesar what's due sees or the state
9:01
Speaker 1: exists independently of your religious obligations. So something I've been
9:06
Speaker 1: screaming about for years here in the morning show. You're
9:08
Speaker 1: in the middle of a church. You're a it's maybe
9:10
Speaker 1: your pastor or whoever you are in front of in
9:12
Speaker 1: some religious institutions, if it's Christianity, notably no theologian am I.
9:18
Speaker 1: But if there's a priest up there, or a bishop
9:21
Speaker 1: or anybody else leader of the church saying you need
9:24
Speaker 1: to vote for some government policy so that feeds the
9:27
Speaker 1: homeless or whatever. That's offloading the religious obligations that you have.
9:32
Speaker 1: State independent from church. Church teachings rule the people who
9:37
Speaker 1: believe in the faith. Your teaching requires you perhaps read
9:40
Speaker 1: this scripture yourself and see what your obligations are. Those
9:43
Speaker 1: are your obligations. Don't go offloading them to someone else, unless,
9:50
Speaker 1: of course, you're paying a sizable chunk of those. I'm
9:52
Speaker 1: sure there's a lot of Christian folks out there that
9:54
Speaker 1: these I think these big government programs are great. Maybe
9:57
Speaker 1: they're not paying any federal income taxes, so literally they
10:00
Speaker 1: are taking from their brother to eat off these programs.
10:04
Speaker 1: I don't know, at least there's some measure of accountability
10:06
Speaker 1: when you're doing it through the church. You know you
10:08
Speaker 1: can view where your money is going you like, for example,
10:12
Speaker 1: I mentioned Matthew twenty five the other day. The ideal
10:14
Speaker 1: charity to give to if you want to serve you,
10:17
Speaker 1: if you want to help people truly, because they're overhead,
10:20
Speaker 1: they don't charge a lot of overhead. Most all of
10:22
Speaker 1: the donations go to the relief effort. So you can
10:27
Speaker 1: fulfill your Christian mission by handing over money to Matthew
10:30
Speaker 1: twenty five, which will see that that money gets into
10:32
Speaker 1: the hand of the poor people. Kadah, how's FEMA working out?
10:39
Speaker 1: But we don't live in a theocracy, and I love
10:41
Speaker 1: how democrats and sometimes Republicans pick and choose when they're
10:45
Speaker 1: going to start citing scripture and trying to heap guilt
10:47
Speaker 1: on you because of some government program. Unbelievable. Apparently Press
11:00
Speaker 1: this point repeatedly yesterday, saying leaders who cite religion should
11:04
Speaker 1: reflect those values in policy. Oh he wants religion incorporated
11:08
Speaker 1: into government. Huh, what the acl you would say about that?
11:14
Speaker 1: They're the ones typically suing over the government funding of
11:20
Speaker 1: literally anything relating to religion. I don't know it irks me.
11:32
Speaker 1: And you got this lawsuit by all the states suing
11:34
Speaker 1: the Trump administration for withhold of the food funding. They're
11:39
Speaker 1: arguing in the USDA violated federal law by planning to
11:42
Speaker 1: suspend benefits under SNAPS SNAP program. I guess they want
11:46
Speaker 1: the king to decree where congressionally allocated money. The power
11:52
Speaker 1: of the person lies in Congress where congressionally allocated money
11:54
Speaker 1: should go. Oh, I guess we need a king, don't
11:57
Speaker 1: we Because a king can waive his king magic wand
12:01
Speaker 1: and automatically put funds where he believes funds should go,
12:04
Speaker 1: and maybe take funds away where he doesn't believe they
12:06
Speaker 1: should go. But you know where are we on that messaging?
12:14
Speaker 1: Lawsuit asks the judge to overturn the administration's earlier directive
12:18
Speaker 1: instructing states with old benefits required USDA and require the
12:22
Speaker 1: USDA to use all available funds to help keep SNAP
12:24
Speaker 1: benefits flowing in November, which is odd because the math
12:31
Speaker 1: doesn't work out. Even if they prevail on this lawsuit,
12:34
Speaker 1: they're going to be about four billion dollars short now.
12:37
Speaker 1: These planets in lawsuit disputing that the Trump administration statements
12:41
Speaker 1: that it does not have the legal authority to use
12:43
Speaker 1: the five billion dollars remaining in emergency funds to pay
12:48
Speaker 1: for at least part of Snap fun fact Snap which
12:53
Speaker 1: requires more than eight billion dollars to pay November benefits alone.
12:59
Speaker 1: So I'm not sure how they're going to divvy up
13:02
Speaker 1: the five billion if they get it leveraged to, you know,
13:05
Speaker 1: bring it over to the Snap program, but it's still
13:09
Speaker 1: not going to cover the nut. Oh and Snap recipients
13:15
Speaker 1: have gone online fuming over the anticipated cut off of
13:24
Speaker 1: the benefits they're planning on looting. It's an interesting collection
13:28
Speaker 1: of quotes we have from folks who went to TikTok
13:30
Speaker 1: and Twitter and all these online sites to say exactly
13:34
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do if the Snap benefits don't come
13:37
Speaker 1: in five eighteen. Right now, if you five KRCD talk station,
13:40
Speaker 1: feel free to call five one, three, seven four nine
13:41
Speaker 1: fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three
13:43
Speaker 1: talk or hit pound five fifty if you have an
13:45
Speaker 1: AT and T Fund'll be right back. Fifty five KRC
13:51
Speaker 1: five two. I have to be that kr seed you
13:54
Speaker 1: talks to them. Now, what's gonna happen when Snap benefits stop?
14:00
Speaker 1: I mean the lawsuit doesn't result in the five billion
14:02
Speaker 1: dollars remaining, providing for partial one month of Snap benefits
14:07
Speaker 1: reportedly nine billion dollars for a month SNAP recipient's going
14:11
Speaker 1: to TikTok now read, I realize this represents only a
14:13
Speaker 1: fraction of the number of Snap recipients. Totally, forty two
14:16
Speaker 1: million Americans, one in eight people nationwide get some Snap
14:19
Speaker 1: benefits average three hundred and fifty bucks per month per household.
14:25
Speaker 1: What are some of the people saying on Facebook? Apparently
14:27
Speaker 1: Snap sent out an announcement via text week text message
14:31
Speaker 1: to all Snap beneficiaries warning them of the pause in
14:33
Speaker 1: the program that's showing up on November first. Just to
14:36
Speaker 1: heads up, November first is the deadline government shutdown. It's
14:39
Speaker 1: going to result in the payment's not going through. Here's
14:42
Speaker 1: an illustration of the reaction from one angry recipient of
14:47
Speaker 1: that text message or that message. I'm gonna tell you
14:51
Speaker 1: straight up like this, I just got that text that
14:55
Speaker 1: the link is definitely cut the F word off for November.
14:58
Speaker 1: Y'all better stay the word out of my way in
15:01
Speaker 1: these stores because I'm walking out with carts and I'm
15:04
Speaker 1: not paying for s word. Hmm. Here's another. You know what,
15:10
Speaker 1: since they want to take food stamps away, I'm gonna
15:12
Speaker 1: go to effing Walmart, grab anything I damn want, put
15:15
Speaker 1: that S word right into the basket, and walk right
15:18
Speaker 1: up out of that B word. I'm not paying for
15:20
Speaker 1: a damn thing. Hm, I'm gonna be stealing like it
15:27
Speaker 1: ain't no tomorrow. I'm gonna have one of my cousins
15:30
Speaker 1: with me that'll punch your ass so hard you'll think
15:33
Speaker 1: that a Jet two holiday hit your B word. As
15:35
Speaker 1: if you think I ain't gonna walk out that store,
15:39
Speaker 1: I think the Jet two holidays described as a reference
15:41
Speaker 1: to a UK based budget air travel provider. Thank you
15:45
Speaker 1: New York Post for letting me know that I didn't
15:47
Speaker 1: know what the reference was. One blame Donald Trump, Donald Trump.
15:54
Speaker 1: When the Democrats are needed to get the stat benefits
15:57
Speaker 1: flowing again, Trump done f warded up. Let's just make
16:02
Speaker 1: it clear. Okay, he's talking about people not getting food
16:06
Speaker 1: stamps in November and probably not December. He better get
16:09
Speaker 1: ready because it's about to go down. What you're gonna
16:13
Speaker 1: learn is you don't play with and this one says
16:17
Speaker 1: the black people's food stamps. I don't know that the
16:19
Speaker 1: black people own the food stamp program. Anyway, This is
16:22
Speaker 1: just a quote. Brian Thomas didn't come up with it
16:24
Speaker 1: and make the full mistake of posting it. What you're
16:29
Speaker 1: going to learn is you don't play with black people's
16:31
Speaker 1: food stamps. Okay, so get ready because people are about
16:35
Speaker 1: to just start taking sword. That doesn't even make any sense,
16:40
Speaker 1: but nonetheless there it is posted for all to see.
16:45
Speaker 1: So I guess stay out of grocery stores November first,
16:50
Speaker 1: going forward, Jayson the phone Jay, You're gonna have to wait.
16:52
Speaker 1: I look up, it's five twenty five, and it gives
16:54
Speaker 1: me an opportunity to mention Gato Heaven Cemetery because they've
16:56
Speaker 1: got something coming up and I'd like to pass it
16:58
Speaker 1: along to you the all Old Soul's candle at Mann
17:02
Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday. Anybody to make it the Honor Flight, oh Man.
17:05
Speaker 1: I saw a bunch of pictures thanks to curbage Mike
17:07
Speaker 1: and Andrew Pappus and others who posted beautiful pictures from
17:10
Speaker 1: the Honor Flight return welcome home ceremony. Looked like it
17:13
Speaker 1: was just extremely well attended, just so happy that so
17:17
Speaker 1: many folks made it out there to well salute the
17:19
Speaker 1: American veteran and get that infusion of patriotism we could
17:22
Speaker 1: all very much use. So if you went, please feel
17:25
Speaker 1: free to give me a call me know how it went.
17:26
Speaker 1: Let's see that further a deal. Let's start with Jay.
17:28
Speaker 1: I got Tom on the line as well. Jay. Welcome,
17:30
Speaker 1: my friend. Good to hear from you.
17:32
Speaker 5: Hey, good morning, Brian. On this twenty ninth day of
17:35
Speaker 5: this glorious government shut down, we're at one hundred and
17:39
Speaker 5: forty three billion dollars theoretically saved, and for the first
17:43
Speaker 5: time of my life find myself siding with the Democrats
17:48
Speaker 5: in Washington, d C. To keep the government shut down.
17:53
Speaker 1: That's good.
17:54
Speaker 5: It's an odd place to be, it is, But I
17:56
Speaker 5: also but I also have a Bible verse to share
17:59
Speaker 5: with Guest Newsome. It is a second Thessalonians three ten,
18:03
Speaker 5: which states for even when we were with you, we
18:06
Speaker 5: gave you this rule, the one who is unwilling to
18:09
Speaker 5: work shall not eat. Now that doesn't mean that the
18:12
Speaker 5: Bible is in conflict with itself. The question we have
18:18
Speaker 5: to ask is how many people on Snap are in
18:23
Speaker 5: need and how many of them refuse to work, and
18:27
Speaker 5: they're kind of identifying some of them are identifying themselves online.
18:30
Speaker 5: And I'm not saying all of them, but whenever they
18:33
Speaker 5: start threatening that they're going to loot and steal and
18:36
Speaker 5: rob and be thieves, that kind of becomes self identification.
18:40
Speaker 5: That there is certainly a certain segment of people on
18:44
Speaker 5: Snap who are sluggards, who refuse to take accountability. And
18:50
Speaker 5: as Vince Evratte Ellison points out in his book Iron Triangle,
18:54
Speaker 5: which I bring up from time to time, which you've
18:55
Speaker 5: heard about on your program, thank you for that. They
18:59
Speaker 5: are on the government program by choice. They have become
19:02
Speaker 5: government slaves by choice. They have taken the deal which
19:05
Speaker 5: says vote Democrat and we will put a check in
19:09
Speaker 5: your mailbox. And all you have to do is give
19:11
Speaker 5: us your dignity, your power, your money, and and your pride,
19:17
Speaker 5: and we will continue to provide things like government funding.
19:24
Speaker 5: But you just have to get back in your slaves,
19:27
Speaker 5: get back in your prison, shut the door behind you,
19:30
Speaker 5: and we will make sure that you don't have to work.
19:33
Speaker 5: And that is that is what we see on parade
19:36
Speaker 5: point number two. I heard that government or I'm sorry,
19:40
Speaker 5: had government Speaker Johnson could open up the house, get
19:44
Speaker 5: the Republicans in there, start working. On twelve appropriations in
19:48
Speaker 5: the spirit of Thomas Massey.
19:49
Speaker 6: Like get back to work.
19:51
Speaker 1: Yeah.
19:51
Speaker 5: I also heard during this time the government shutdown, they've
19:54
Speaker 5: got some flexibility to start taking some of these executive
19:58
Speaker 5: orders and converting them to law. And if they might
20:00
Speaker 5: be able to fast track that. Uh, first of all,
20:03
Speaker 5: I don't know if that's true or not. I would
20:06
Speaker 5: like to get somebody to read on it. And if
20:07
Speaker 5: that is true, then what we're seeing is the Speaker
20:10
Speaker 5: of the House really has no desire to advance the
20:12
Speaker 5: conservative agenda or do these twelve appropriations.
20:15
Speaker 1: Why might that be? Jay, Do you think this has
20:17
Speaker 1: anything to do with the Epstein vote that as soon
20:19
Speaker 1: as Congress is well, as soon as the House is
20:21
Speaker 1: brought back from recess, that they're going to be advancing
20:24
Speaker 1: that vote.
20:26
Speaker 5: There's about one hundred reasons we can come up with,
20:29
Speaker 5: and all of them point to that they don't care
20:31
Speaker 5: about us as much as they care about themselves.
20:33
Speaker 1: Clearly, well, and thus is I'm just hastened to say,
20:39
Speaker 1: thus it has ever been?
20:42
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, you're absolutely right, You're you're you're absolutely right.
20:45
Speaker 6: And this is the.
20:46
Speaker 5: Problem with a large federal government. I'm making a new mantra,
20:51
Speaker 5: make states great again. Push all the power, push all
20:54
Speaker 5: of the funding, push all the money back to the states.
20:57
Speaker 7: I don't think we're ever going to see that in
20:59
Speaker 7: our lifetime.
21:00
Speaker 5: We've got you know, I'm not a big fan of
21:02
Speaker 5: the No Kings rally, but I don't know that we
21:04
Speaker 5: can argue that we don't have this kingdom called Washington,
21:08
Speaker 5: DC that holds all of the power, all the authority,
21:10
Speaker 5: all the money. They became very small, very powerless, and
21:15
Speaker 5: we get meet leaders like Mike DeWine. But speaking of him,
21:19
Speaker 5: let's never vote Rhino again, and let's not vote Democrat.
21:22
Speaker 5: I don't want to go on too long because I
21:23
Speaker 5: really want to hear what brother Tom has to say.
21:26
Speaker 1: I have a good day, Jay, fantastic. I appreciate hearing
21:29
Speaker 1: from you. Tom. You're up, my brother, Welcome back to
21:32
Speaker 1: the thirty five KRCY Morning Show.
21:34
Speaker 6: Good morning, and thank you, brother Jay. I appreciate it. Yeah.
21:39
Speaker 6: I'm just he was reading my mind, I guess, and
21:43
Speaker 6: we're all I get great minds, think alike. Maybe Yeah,
21:46
Speaker 6: people are getting upset. I'm gonna throw out a suggestion,
21:50
Speaker 6: And if you're going to go into a Walmart, why
21:52
Speaker 6: don't you stop with the customer service desk to get
21:55
Speaker 6: an application while you're there, because clearly you're able to
21:59
Speaker 6: get up and function and do stuff. You're able to
22:02
Speaker 6: go walk through the store and shop and steal some
22:05
Speaker 6: s word. Then you're able to stock shelves, and you're
22:09
Speaker 6: physically capable of doing all kinds of things. Yeah, so
22:12
Speaker 6: uh yeah, yeah, let's uh, let's uh, let's turn that
22:16
Speaker 6: energy that you have into some productive for society and
22:21
Speaker 6: uh and stop being such a drain on society. And
22:24
Speaker 6: I say that, I want to make sure I counter
22:26
Speaker 6: it with obviously there are people out there that need help.
22:31
Speaker 6: Until we get this this, if we ever get this
22:35
Speaker 6: situation turned around where people are are doing it, uh,
22:39
Speaker 6: taking care of people and using charity properly instead of
22:43
Speaker 6: just oh well, I don't need to worry about that
22:46
Speaker 6: those people got government funding. Yeah, so it basically makes us.
22:50
Speaker 1: Late, right, And then see that's where religious accountability. If
22:53
Speaker 1: you if you think about charitable institutions generally speaking, if
22:56
Speaker 1: they're private, they determine where the aid is going to go.
22:59
Speaker 1: They determine where the need is. And if they're out
23:01
Speaker 1: there in the world and they run and encounter somebody
23:03
Speaker 1: who says they need aid, you might want to give
23:06
Speaker 1: a measure of assistance to move forward until they are
23:09
Speaker 1: on their feet again. And that's where a responsible charitable
23:12
Speaker 1: organization can ensure that the lazy, the lethargic, those who
23:16
Speaker 1: can work don't get the aid because they refuse to work. Listen,
23:21
Speaker 1: we've offered you training, We've offered you education assistance. We've
23:24
Speaker 1: shown you where these programs are that can facilitate your
23:27
Speaker 1: entry into the workplace. You refuse to do any of that, ergo,
23:31
Speaker 1: we are no longer going to support you, recognizing full
23:34
Speaker 1: well that you're capable of engaging in employment. Where is
23:37
Speaker 1: the work ethic? Tom? It used to be a point
23:39
Speaker 1: in this nation's history if you were able to work
23:41
Speaker 1: and you didn't work, society would take a dim view
23:44
Speaker 1: of you. There was some measure of accountability. You're supposed
23:47
Speaker 1: to participate if you're able, and that ultimately benefited you
23:50
Speaker 1: because you had a job and a salary and a paycheck,
23:53
Speaker 1: and then you could be free of this well unbelievably
23:57
Speaker 1: horrific concept called dependence on the dysfunctional government. Right, you're
24:07
Speaker 1: gonna let him say his catchphrase, Joe, Oh he's still there, Tom.
24:14
Speaker 1: Maybe we did lose him. Sorry, Tom Dot a Democrat,
24:18
Speaker 1: don't vot rhino. Let's say it for hims five six
24:20
Speaker 1: right now, Steve, stay there. I think you're called just
24:23
Speaker 1: a second after I mentioned QC kinetics.
24:25
Speaker 8: The talk station.
24:27
Speaker 1: By forty fIF if you have a care cud talk station.
24:31
Speaker 1: Before we get to this stack of stupid, happy to
24:33
Speaker 1: go to the phone, Steve was kinding up the hold
24:34
Speaker 1: over of the break, Steve, welcome in the morning show.
24:36
Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday, Happy Wednesday.
24:38
Speaker 9: And Steve is gonna be nice enough to do this
24:41
Speaker 9: in less than one minute because I want to hear
24:43
Speaker 9: the stack of stupid. And it's my my mantra is,
24:46
Speaker 9: don't don't delay the stack of stupid. A couple of
24:50
Speaker 9: real quick comments. First of all, boy, get this, this
24:55
Speaker 9: ever happened to you? You just completely draw a blank?
24:57
Speaker 9: Okay here, Yes, forty one or forty two million people
25:00
Speaker 9: on food stamps is the most shocking thing I've ever heard.
25:05
Speaker 9: I mean, I knew there were a lot of people's
25:07
Speaker 9: that's like one in eight Americans on food stamps. I
25:11
Speaker 9: believe there are very needy people in there. It's also
25:15
Speaker 9: got to be such a corrupt system where so many
25:17
Speaker 9: people don't need to be on there. I want to
25:19
Speaker 9: help needy people. I don't want to help people that
25:22
Speaker 9: claim to be disabled that aren't disabled. Off of that,
25:25
Speaker 9: let me move on to my next topic. You had
25:29
Speaker 9: a guy yesterday and I worked Monday Tuesday, but I
25:31
Speaker 9: drive around doing deliveries and I listened to you religiously,
25:35
Speaker 9: but I can't comment on those days. His name was
25:38
Speaker 9: Carl and it was on the Holocaust exhibit I believe
25:42
Speaker 9: at Union Terminal. Yes, yeah, yeah, And you reacted to that,
25:47
Speaker 9: and I just wanted to share a real quick story
25:49
Speaker 9: to you or with you. My wife and I, my
25:52
Speaker 9: lovely wife and I were in Munich, Germany, many years
25:56
Speaker 9: ago and we did a little side trip to dak
25:59
Speaker 9: Out concentration Camp and that was the first concentration camp
26:04
Speaker 9: the Nazis opened in nineteen thirty three. You have never
26:08
Speaker 9: and this is cliche. The silence was deafening. As you
26:12
Speaker 9: walked around the camp, you could smell death in the air.
26:18
Speaker 9: It was like being in an episode of the Twilight Zone.
26:21
Speaker 6: It was surreal.
26:23
Speaker 9: And you ended up in the back of the camp
26:25
Speaker 9: where the showers were in, then the place where they
26:32
Speaker 9: stored the bodies, and then the crematorium and you actually
26:35
Speaker 9: walked through that, and I'll tell you what, You'll know,
26:39
Speaker 9: you'll never forget that if you do it. And I
26:42
Speaker 9: remember coming back and a boss of mine at the
26:45
Speaker 9: time kind of made fun of me. It's like, oh,
26:46
Speaker 9: you really know how to have fun on vacation, and
26:49
Speaker 9: I'm like, you know, this is history. It's like I
26:51
Speaker 9: didn't just do that, but I also didn't pretend it
26:54
Speaker 9: wasn't there and just have another nice meal. So just again,
26:58
Speaker 9: you can't believe how horrific human beings could be to
27:01
Speaker 9: other human beings.
27:03
Speaker 1: But I'll let you go.
27:03
Speaker 9: Sorry to do it on a down or like.
27:05
Speaker 1: That, but it's an important let's say it is.
27:08
Speaker 9: It is reality.
27:09
Speaker 1: It absolutely is. And it's a horror that there are
27:12
Speaker 1: a bunch of idiots out in the world who deny
27:14
Speaker 1: that that ever even happened. There's so much evidence in
27:16
Speaker 1: proof of it. It's just beyond the pale that anyone
27:18
Speaker 1: can so never hub and the Holocaust was a lie.
27:21
Speaker 1: Yeah whatever, buddy, got two words for you, and they

Speaker 1: in Michigan. Samantha Ray Booth appeared to have a manic
30:22
Speaker 1: episode when the child's grandfather came by for a welfare check.
30:25
Speaker 1: Officials said Booth not only killed the eighty three year
30:28
Speaker 1: old man, but also fled from responding police, attacked another
30:31
Speaker 1: family member with a screwdriver, stripped naked, and was found
30:35
Speaker 1: with suspected psychedelic mushrooms and marijuana in her purse. As

Speaker 1: child abuse, assault, three counts resisting, assaulting, obstructing police, child
30:47
Speaker 1: abuse car charged them from the fact that the alleged
30:49

Speaker 1: with the child's mom, who was out of town, asked
30:56
Speaker 1: their father to check on her daughter as she was
30:58
Speaker 1: being cared for by the nanny. She didn't receive an update,
31:02
Speaker 1: mom sent the child's uncle to the home. When the
31:04
Speaker 1: uncle entered the home, he heard noises coming from the basement.
31:07
Speaker 1: Went downstairs, found the nanny in what is described as
31:09
Speaker 1: a manic state, covered in blood, and the child's grandfather,
31:13

31:23
Speaker 1: The uncle grabbed the child, who was also in the basement,
31:26
Speaker 1: tried to escape, repeatedly fended off attacks from this crazy
31:29
Speaker 1: nanny got out of the home. Booth apparently followed him,
31:34

Speaker 1: uncle and the child eventually were able to shelter in
31:39
Speaker 1: a home nearby. Official said Booth allegedly stopped chasing the uncle,

Speaker 1: initially tried to escape it then was quickly apprehended. Minor

Speaker 1: injuries for the child and uncle, fortunately for that one.
32:05
Speaker 1: Apparently this woman had looked after the child for two
32:08
Speaker 1: years previously without any incident. Drugs are bad in a rampage,
32:21
Speaker 1: which is SUGGESTI will cause stress from sadness for Halloween fans.
32:24
Speaker 1: I doubted Florida man's been accused of smashing pumpkins. Not
32:28
Speaker 1: the band valued at nearly five hundred dollars, please say.
32:31
Speaker 1: Aaron Thompson, who's thirty one, came out at night destroyed
32:34
Speaker 1: about eighty pumpkins that were stored in front of a
32:37
Speaker 1: target in the Tampa Bay area. Security cameras have it
32:42
Speaker 1: on film. Of course, cops alledged recorded Thompson picking up
32:45
Speaker 1: pumpkins out of the boxes located in front of the
32:47
Speaker 1: store and smashing them onto the ground. He was arrested
32:49
Speaker 1: several days later after returning to the store and police
32:53
Speaker 1: showed up. I brought to the Lost Prevention office and
32:58
Speaker 1: shown this surveillance footage. Tomson was asked if he could
33:01
Speaker 1: identify the person smashing the pumpkins in the video, he
33:05
Speaker 1: reportedly replied, that's men. Ask why he destroyed the pumpkins,
33:12
Speaker 1: he said quote stated he did it because someone was
33:14
Speaker 1: messing with him on Facebook and made him mad.
33:19
Speaker 6: Keep your stupid mouth shut.
33:22
Speaker 1: Thank you, Jay Ratliffe. According to cops, Thompson also added
33:26
Speaker 1: he was unapologetic about his actions after smashing the pumpkins,
33:29
Speaker 1: and he left the scene to go sleep. Pumpkins total
33:34
Speaker 1: value four hundred and seventy two dollars and fourteen cents.
33:36
Speaker 1: Charged with felony criminal mischief, held in the County jail

Speaker 1: He does have one concludes convictions for burglary, battery, trustmass trespass,
33:45
Speaker 1: criminal mischief, and reckless driving. Not that it matters, but
33:51

35:43
Speaker 1: I know I've said that before. Judge Ednenopolatano at eight thirty,
35:45
Speaker 1: who'll be talking about jailed in America for free speech?
35:50
Speaker 1: Thought that only happened in the United Kingdom and other
35:54
Speaker 1: twelve countries that don't have a constitution to protect the
35:56
Speaker 1: rights of the citizenry. We're lucky we live in the
36:00
Speaker 1: United States of America, folks, if you haven't gotten the
36:02
Speaker 1: memo on that one. Anyhow, without further ado, let's see here,
36:09
Speaker 1: been kind of on a tear. I talked about the
36:12
Speaker 1: snap benefits and the batcrap insanity coming out of government
36:15
Speaker 1: of Newsom's mouth. We don't live in a theocracy, and
36:18
Speaker 1: we'll just boil it all back down again. Go ahead
36:20
Speaker 1: and cite your Bible verses. We don't live in a theocracy.
36:23
Speaker 1: And I love how democrats love to cite Bible verses
36:27
Speaker 1: when they are trying to support their big, fat, bloated
36:29
Speaker 1: government programs, When if you cited a Bible verse to them,
36:33
Speaker 1: they would accuse you of being I don't know, any
36:34
Speaker 1: idiot or something. Do you believe in the flying spaghetti Monster?
36:38
Speaker 1: I can't believe you believe in God? What is this
36:40
Speaker 1: with the you know? Yeah, but for someone called the
36:45
Speaker 1: other day mentioned about you know, well we need Christian
36:47
Speaker 1: this or whatever.
36:48
Speaker 11: I see.
36:48
Speaker 1: I don't care what religion a politician is. We don't
36:50
Speaker 1: live in a theocracy. Thankfully, you could be any religion
36:53
Speaker 1: you want. If you represent the interests of the American people,
36:56
Speaker 1: you can do a good job. Vvake Ramaswami. I don't
36:58
Speaker 1: believe he's Christian. Can't wait for him to be governor
37:01
Speaker 1: of the state of Ohio. But moving away from that,
37:06
Speaker 1: go ahead and listen to the podcast at my five
37:08
Speaker 1: o'clock hour. One on quite a teror on that one.
37:11
Speaker 1: Another op ed piece in the Journal but it's on
37:13
Speaker 1: the heels of quite quite a few articles I've been
37:15
Speaker 1: talking about of late. We are going to get nuclear power,
37:18
Speaker 1: hopefully if we can avoid the interference by the climate
37:22
Speaker 1: alarmist folks and their efforts to really put American oil
37:27
Speaker 1: and gas out of business, completely out of business. And
37:29
Speaker 1: they're doing that through Lawfair. I know we've heard about
37:32
Speaker 1: Lawfair a lot, but this is why I love the journal.
37:34
Speaker 1: William P. Barr you can read it for yourself. He
37:37
Speaker 1: served as US Attorney General between ninety one and ninety
37:40
Speaker 1: three and between twenty nineteen to twenty twenty, and law
37:43
Speaker 1: firm does represent energy clients. But he makes a damn
37:47
Speaker 1: good argument. The Supreme Court can stop an unconstitutional carbon tax.
37:52
Speaker 1: Now I had mentioned this before. Remember the United Nations
37:55
Speaker 1: International Maritime Organization wanted to levy a global carbon tax
37:59
Speaker 1: on every Donald Trump said, ah, I got two words
38:03
Speaker 1: for it. Ain't happy birthday. What authority does the UN have,
38:06
Speaker 1: I mean even the audacity to suggest that they have
38:08
Speaker 1: the authoritied attax randomly every country in the world for
38:12
Speaker 1: some carbon output. No, you don't have that authority. It's
38:16
Speaker 1: not part of the charter. Go to hell anyway, After
38:19
Speaker 1: pointing out his actions on that. He says, but an
38:22
Speaker 1: equally insidious carbon tax has been quietly advancing in county
38:27
Speaker 1: courthouses across the United States in the form of climate
38:30
Speaker 1: lawfair targeting almost exclusively American industry, and the Supreme Court
38:37
Speaker 1: has an opportunity to stop it. See right there. Over
38:39
Speaker 1: the past few years, Blue States municipalities have filed dozens
38:43
Speaker 1: of tourtsuits and state courts against American energy companies, claiming
38:49
Speaker 1: hundreds of billions of dollars in damages. Get a load
38:53
Speaker 1: of this, he says. One point of funded estimate recently
38:55
Speaker 1: claimed that the damages should total no less than twenty
38:58
Speaker 1: eight trill billion dollars, which is about the entire economic
39:04
Speaker 1: output of our country. Plaintiffs insists they're suing for local damages,
39:11
Speaker 1: like you evil oil company damaged the soil here, and
39:14
Speaker 1: you need to pay for it the way a planiff might,
39:16
Speaker 1: and well the way any planeff might if they've suffered damages.
39:20
Speaker 1: And they say they're not trying to set global climate policy. However,
39:24
Speaker 1: David Bookbinder let the cat out of the bag. Who
39:27
Speaker 1: is he? He's the director of law and policy for
39:29
Speaker 1: a group called the Environmental Integrity Project also happens to
39:33
Speaker 1: be a lawyer representing Boulder County, Colorado, and its climate
39:37
Speaker 1: suit against two energy companies, sun Core Energy and Exxon Mobile. Now, sadly,
39:42
Speaker 1: the Colorado Supreme Court ruled in his client's favor and
39:45
Speaker 1: allowed them to move forward with the lawsuits. Defendants have
39:48
Speaker 1: asked the US Supreme Court to hear the appeal. Mister Bookbinder,
39:53
Speaker 1: recently participating in a Federalist Society panel that was discussing
39:57
Speaker 1: the litigation, acknowledged that the lawsuits were rather a political
40:01
Speaker 1: tool to achieve environmental policy goals, not for local damages.
40:06
Speaker 1: Here's what he had he said. Essentially, the tort liability
40:11
Speaker 1: is an indirect carbon tax. You se an oil company,
40:15
Speaker 1: an oil company is liable. The oil company then passes
40:17
Speaker 1: that liability onto the people who are buying its products.
40:22
Speaker 1: I would prefer an actual carbon tax, but if we
40:25
Speaker 1: can't get one of those, and I don't think anyone
40:28
Speaker 1: on this panel would agree that Congress is likely to
40:30
Speaker 1: take on climate change anytime soon. So this is rather,
40:34
Speaker 1: you know, a somewhat convoluted way to achieve the goals
40:37
Speaker 1: of a carbon tax. Close quote Bookbinder's admission confirms what
40:45
Speaker 1: critics of these suits have been saying all along. This
40:47
Speaker 1: litigation is not about compensation, It's about coercion. Climate lawfair
40:53
Speaker 1: is a political strategy laundered through lawsuits, designed to force
40:57
Speaker 1: radical policy of energy poverty on a country who's elected
41:00
Speaker 1: representatives have repeatedly declined to adopt such destructive measures. Pause
41:04
Speaker 1: and think about that. We live in a representative form
41:07
Speaker 1: of democracy. If we all were pushing for our representatives
41:10
Speaker 1: to go down the climate tax road and have a
41:12
Speaker 1: carbon tax implemented, maybe they might bend to this constituent's
41:16
Speaker 1: will and put one in place. The reality is we
41:18
Speaker 1: don't want one. You can't even get Democrats to rally
41:22
Speaker 1: around a carbon tax that's what we want. But because
41:29
Speaker 1: these climate alarmists and hungry for their commissioned plaintiffs, lawyers
41:34
Speaker 1: are willing to represent probably nefarious outside interests like for example, maybe,
41:39
Speaker 1: and I don't know definitively, where are these folks getting
41:42
Speaker 1: bankroll Chinese Communist Party? Maybe they love when we go
41:45
Speaker 1: chasing our tail trying to eliminate carbon in the world.
41:47
Speaker 1: They would love it if American oil companies were put
41:50
Speaker 1: out of business. Try to imagine a scenario where one
41:59
Speaker 1: of these planeiffs is successful, and then all the other
42:02
Speaker 1: planeiffs take the ball and run with it and file
42:05
Speaker 1: comparable lawsuits in every county across this great land of ours,
42:09
Speaker 1: trying to get their slice of the pie. And the
42:12
Speaker 1: oil companies went out of business. They had to declare bankruptcy.
42:15
Speaker 1: Any activity going forward has already been declared to be
42:17
Speaker 1: well destructive to the planet, and therefore our product is well.
42:24
Speaker 1: They'd be like banning something carcinogenic, wouldn't it. We can't
42:28
Speaker 1: have that going out of the world. Sorry, no more
42:30
Speaker 1: gasoline for you, no more diesel fuel for you, no
42:33
Speaker 1: more plastic for you. Think of all the things that
42:37
Speaker 1: are made with petroleum and think of a world without it,
42:40
Speaker 1: or at least the United States with that. And I
42:42
Speaker 1: suppose that would require us to start doing business with
42:45
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe oil companies out of China or Russia. Anyway,
42:51
Speaker 1: here's what he said. We'll go back to the op ed.
42:53
Speaker 1: Mister Bookbinder that lawyer the activists even describe the end
42:56
Speaker 1: game bankrupting the American oil and gas industry once a
43:01
Speaker 1: single planet secure. As a final judgment, he pointed out
43:04
Speaker 1: a cascade of copycat lawsuits would follow, forcing every private
43:07
Speaker 1: energy company into the United States into insolvency. Quote. Every
43:11
Speaker 1: defendant in all cases immediately declares bankruptcy because they have to.
43:17
Speaker 1: But foreign owned state oil and gas companies, say for example,
43:23
Speaker 1: gas prom or the China National Petroleum Corporation, wouldn't be
43:28
Speaker 1: subject to this. They can't be taken to state court
43:31
Speaker 1: because of the legal doctrine of sovereign immunity. Oh, whether
43:37
Speaker 1: this lawfair gambit works may now be tested at the
43:39
Speaker 1: highest level. The defendants in sun Cor versus Boulder County
43:42
Speaker 1: squarely raised the question at the heart of all these lawsuits.
43:46
Speaker 1: Can states regulate emissions that take place outside of their borders?
43:54
Speaker 1: More than a century of Supreme Court precedent indicates the
43:57
Speaker 1: answer must be no. Disputes involving pollution that cross state
44:01
Speaker 1: or international borders are the exclusive domain of federal law.
44:05
Speaker 1: If Colorado can regulate global emissions through its courts, what
44:08
Speaker 1: stops Texas from suing California over its emission policies. The
44:12
Speaker 1: result will be what the Supreme Court has called a
44:15
Speaker 1: chaotic confrontation between states, with each imposing its preferred energy
44:20
Speaker 1: policy on the other, in this case, a policy that
44:22
Speaker 1: selectively punishes American companies while foreign state owned precede producers
44:27
Speaker 1: get a free pass. This is precisely the kind of
44:30
Speaker 1: interstate conflict the constitutional framers sought to prevent. Planets have
44:35
Speaker 1: tried to avoid this issue by dressing up their complaints
44:38
Speaker 1: in the garb of state consumer protection or public nuisance laws,
44:42
Speaker 1: insisting they aren't trying to regulate emissions, just merely seeking
44:45
Speaker 1: compensation for local harms. Colorado Supreme Court accepted that distinction,
44:50
Speaker 1: concluding that the regulation regulating pollution is different from holding
44:54
Speaker 1: upstream producers liable for selling the products that cause it.
44:58
Speaker 1: But then mister Book said the quiet part out loud.
45:03
Speaker 1: But even if he had in the argument doesn't pass
45:05
Speaker 1: the smell test, As the Second US Circuit Court of
45:07
Speaker 1: Appeals own the only one, the only court of Appeals
45:10
Speaker 1: to consider the Climate Toward case on the merits recognized quote,
45:14
Speaker 1: artful pleading cannot transform such a complaint into anything other
45:17
Speaker 1: than a suit over global greenhouse gas emissions. Letting State's
45:23
Speaker 1: rule Supreme would create what James Madison called an inversion
45:27
Speaker 1: of the fundamental principles of all government, creating a monster
45:31
Speaker 1: in which the head was under the direction of its members.
45:34
Speaker 1: Thanks to mister Bookbinder, the fiction of all these that
45:38
Speaker 1: these are run of the mill state law cases has
45:40
Speaker 1: been exposed. The Supreme Court should take it up before
45:43
Speaker 1: this unconstitutional monster devours Americans energy independence. Isn't that sad
45:48
Speaker 1: when you see the stars all aligned in a well
45:50
Speaker 1: written explanation like that for mister Barr, Colorad a county
45:56
Speaker 1: in Colorado is seeking to recover from an oil company
46:00
Speaker 1: whatever claim damages that one singular county suffered from as
46:04
Speaker 1: a consequence of global emissions, as if the air floating
46:11
Speaker 1: over that county you should be treated any differently than
46:13
Speaker 1: the air that we read here, or well, going back
46:16
Speaker 1: to the fact that China in negates in twelve days
46:21
Speaker 1: the efforts of the entire continent of Australia to reduce carbon.
46:26
Speaker 1: This is foolish and I have to have pro Bawl
46:29
Speaker 1: believes in this kind of crap too. He thinks the
46:31
Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati can regulate carbon and have an impact
46:33
Speaker 1: on the globe. Think about that when you're going into
46:35
Speaker 1: the polling booth. Presti's interiors presstge one two to three
46:38
Speaker 1: dot com. It is six twenty three year at fifty
46:46
Speaker 1: five kar CV talk station. Feel free to call if
46:49
Speaker 1: I went three seven, four, nine fifty eight hundred two
46:51
Speaker 1: to three talk or pound five fifty on AT and
46:53
Speaker 1: T founds love to hear from you. Yeah, I talked
46:55
Speaker 1: about Snap getting shut off, no number of first, A
46:57
Speaker 1: lot of people screaming and whaling and ashing teeth on
46:59
Speaker 1: that one means to be seen whether the litigation was
47:02
Speaker 1: filed by twenty five states can free up the remaining
47:05
Speaker 1: five billion dollars and whatever pile of money's back behind
47:08
Speaker 1: the scenes there, but it won't be enough to cover
47:10
Speaker 1: the entire nut for the month of November. So let
47:14
Speaker 1: him try, I suppose. But you could also just get
47:17
Speaker 1: the Democrats open the government up. That'd be really easy.
47:19
Speaker 1: Only need five more or six more and he would
47:21
Speaker 1: be open and you wouldn't have to worry about Snap
47:23
Speaker 1: being cut off. So, to the extent you want to
47:24
Speaker 1: blame Trump, you can't. This is congressional action. This will
47:30
Speaker 1: be the Senate landing squarely in the lap of the
47:33
Speaker 1: Senate over which really Donald Trump doesn't have any control.
47:36
Speaker 1: I mean, he can tell them what he wants them
47:38
Speaker 1: to do, but he can't force them to do anything.
47:40
Speaker 1: Why because he's not a king duh, but apparently shock
47:48
Speaker 1: about the new cost for affordable care plans well being
47:52
Speaker 1: revealed the pain that the Democrats want you to feel.
47:55
Speaker 1: Of course, you have the SNAP memo going out letting
47:58
Speaker 1: SNAP recipients know the November it's going to stop. Now,
48:01
Speaker 1: you have the I Guess CMS or at least the
48:05
Speaker 1: Obamacare website letting people know what life's going to be
48:09
Speaker 1: like this year with the premium increase after the subsidies
48:12
Speaker 1: are gone, and some pretty substantial increases. A journal we
48:19
Speaker 1: refer to a couple named Clinton Cindy Cottrell, one of
48:22
Speaker 1: the worst ones in the article that's talking about individuals
48:25
Speaker 1: dealing with the premium increase. They have been paying three
48:28
Speaker 1: hundred and five dollars a month for their plan, including
48:30
Speaker 1: help from the subsidies. After the subsidies disappear, they will
48:35
Speaker 1: be on the hook for twenty roughly twenty five hundred
48:38
Speaker 1: dollars per month if they stick with the same plan.
48:42
Speaker 1: According to their agent, he has musculo dyscophee a dystrophee.
48:49
Speaker 1: She has regular injections because of her crippling nerve pain.
48:55
Speaker 1: Agents say their fixed income combination of pension and Social
48:58
Speaker 1: Security will be too high to qualify for federal help,
49:01
Speaker 1: which the cap is I believe, sixty one five hundred dollars.
49:06
Speaker 1: They say, we can't afford that premium, there's no way. Well,
49:08
Speaker 1: I suppose if you go to cover since you, they'll
49:10
Speaker 1: come up with a better path. It won't cost you
49:11
Speaker 1: twenty five hundred bucks a month. But that's kind of
49:14
Speaker 1: increased some people are facing. And that's a reflection of
49:16
Speaker 1: how well broken the Obamacare plan is. The subsidies mask
49:21
Speaker 1: the true cost. It's the it's the insurer of last resort.
49:27
Speaker 1: And I'm guessing because Obamacare comes with a ten thousand
49:30
Speaker 1: dollars roughly out of pocket responsibility in addition to the
49:33
Speaker 1: twenty five hundred bucks that couple's going to be paying,
49:36
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to pull out ten grand before the
49:39
Speaker 1: insurance even kicks in. Does that sound like a good
49:42
Speaker 1: solution for the nation's healthcare crisis that were facing. No,
49:46
Speaker 1: Obamacare never was going to help us out. And I
49:49
Speaker 1: bet you don't have your doctor six six fifty five
49:52
Speaker 1: care se detalk station. One of the pillars is selling
49:55
Speaker 1: that to is you can keep your doctor your insurance
49:57
Speaker 1: pre six thirty one. I think about KR scene the
50:06
Speaker 1: talk station. Happy Wednesday. Let's see what's going on here.
50:14
Speaker 1: If anybody went to the Honor Flight Returns Home celebration
50:17
Speaker 1: last night for the veterans, I'd love to hear from you.
50:19
Speaker 1: It looked like a fantastic turnout. So thanks to everybody
50:22
Speaker 1: who did make it. I'm sure you were inspired. Looking
50:26
Speaker 1: forward to another Honor Flight season. I'll let you know
50:28
Speaker 1: all the details on that we get the new schedule.
50:29
Speaker 1: Of course, we'll have them on the program to talk
50:31
Speaker 1: about that. Over the local stories. Tuesday welfare check over
50:34
Speaker 1: in Madisonville ended with a person in the hospital since
50:36
Speaker 1: a police Interim Chief Adam Henny, saying the officers were
50:41
Speaker 1: called to a home on Haley Avenue about two pm
50:43
Speaker 1: for a welfare check. Henny said after they got their
50:48
Speaker 1: officers were met by a person with a gun. Officers
50:51
Speaker 1: fired their weapons at the armed individual. Person now in
50:55
Speaker 1: the hospital expected to be okay. Nor the details released
50:59
Speaker 1: short and sweet Homicide Unit investigators after two people died
51:06
Speaker 1: and a shooting happened yesterday in Heartwell. According the Cincinni
51:09
Speaker 1: Police Department, quartered to are ten till noon. Police sit
51:13
Speaker 1: officers called to the shooting on Leeds Lane off Compton.
51:16
Speaker 1: Two people with gunshot wounds were found on the scene.
51:18
Speaker 1: First responders attempted life saving measures, but both victims died
51:22
Speaker 1: at the scene, identified as Jamelia Warren, twenty six, and
51:26
Speaker 1: thirty two year old Eric Dawson. Police said the initial
51:29
Speaker 1: investigation found Dawson shot Warren and then shot himself. Investigations
51:34
Speaker 1: ongoing with the since an homicide unit. No other details
51:37
Speaker 1: have been released. Thank you again to Box nineteen reporting
51:40
Speaker 1: on that one. No my hometown del High Township making
51:47
Speaker 1: it to local news. But are police there Dalai townships
51:50
Speaker 1: surrounding signing alarms for residents. After noticing a increase or
51:53
Speaker 1: and increase in vehicle thefts, two teenagers and a young
51:57
Speaker 1: adult taken into custody overnight into let's see this be
52:03
Speaker 1: twenty seven so the other day anyway, one case please
52:07
Speaker 1: found a stolen vehicle in the parking lot of an
52:09
Speaker 1: apartment complex on Glen Haven Rode two teen suspects one
52:12
Speaker 1: fourteen and one point fifteen still in the car. Tenant
52:17
Speaker 1: Joe Mulusko said, we made a decision to canvas the
52:19
Speaker 1: area at night and with unmarked patrol and Derne patrol,
52:23
Speaker 1: and we were lucky. We were able to catch them.
52:25
Speaker 1: In the process, teenagers got out of the car tried
52:27
Speaker 1: to run away, but officers were able to catch them.
52:29
Speaker 1: Both charged with two felonies and a misdemeanor taken to
52:31
Speaker 1: the juvenile detention center. Officers of the teens targeting parking
52:35
Speaker 1: lots at apartment complexes on the township's east side. Twelve
52:40
Speaker 1: hours later, to Hi police pulled over another stolen car
52:42
Speaker 1: from Coal Ringe Township arrested a guy named Jacob Klein,
52:45
Speaker 1: who was only eighteen, charged with receiving stolen property and
52:47
Speaker 1: taken to jail. Police said that even though these cases
52:51
Speaker 1: resulted in vehicles being returned to their owners, the problems
52:53
Speaker 1: didn't end there. According to Macaluso, they're happy to get
52:57
Speaker 1: their cars back, for the problem we run across is
52:59
Speaker 1: they're ripping out the interior to get to the end
53:01
Speaker 1: of the ignition, so it's costing them in their insurance
53:03
Speaker 1: company's money to fix. After the spike and tests, police
53:07
Speaker 1: reminded residents to stay vigilant, remove all valuable items from
53:10
Speaker 1: your car. Lieutenant Macluso said, if you're going to go
53:14
Speaker 1: to a holiday party with gifts, resist the temptation of
53:17
Speaker 1: loading them in your car the night before, he said,
53:20
Speaker 1: especially as we start getting really close to the Christmas
53:23
Speaker 1: time where they think they're going to be going to
53:26
Speaker 1: a party within the next day or so, so they
53:27
Speaker 1: load the car up at night. Fortunately, that's when thieves
53:30
Speaker 1: are out because they know items of value are probably
53:33
Speaker 1: going to be in the car. He also said more
53:36
Speaker 1: juveniles on the police department's radar for car thefts, and
53:39
Speaker 1: more charges are expected to be filed against the fourteen
53:41
Speaker 1: and fifteen year old they already have in custody. Is crazy,
53:45
Speaker 1: how young these criminals are. You think if there was
53:50
Speaker 1: really some serious accountability, if there was some serious justice
53:54
Speaker 1: meet it out on these young people, that word would
53:56
Speaker 1: get around that they're not going to get a free pass.
54:00
Speaker 1: Just a theory, seems to be. It used to be
54:04
Speaker 1: that way. USA Installation. It's six forty here, I fifty
54:07
Speaker 1: have ker Seed Talk Station. Have a Wednesday High Green
54:13
Speaker 1: Brewery West Brentwood location next Wednesday for listener lunch. Hope
54:17
Speaker 1: we can make it, and I hope we have something
54:19
Speaker 1: positive to talk about. I mean, we always had something
54:21
Speaker 1: positive to talk about. Listener lunch is great fellowship and
54:23
Speaker 1: I thoroughly enjoy meeting listeners and engaging with them and
54:27
Speaker 1: just getting out having a byte eat at a place
54:30
Speaker 1: you might not otherwise consider even going. So support your
54:32
Speaker 1: local restaurants, your local establishments, join us at Listener Lunch,
54:35
Speaker 1: have some good time, and again day after the election,
54:38
Speaker 1: I do suspect we'll have a bit to talk about,
54:41
Speaker 1: not just locally with the election here in Hamilton County,
54:43
Speaker 1: City of Cincinnati, state issues, and of course these national elections,
54:47
Speaker 1: gubernatorial races that are squeaker close between Republicans and Democrats.
54:51
Speaker 1: We got this Zorhan Mandami character that's getting ready to
54:54
Speaker 1: take over New York City, and what a frightening thing
54:56
Speaker 1: that is Jaez, that is scary. You see some of
55:01
Speaker 1: the things that that guy has said previously, anti police
55:06
Speaker 1: statements among them. Since we have russ Neville coming up,
55:09
Speaker 1: retired Captain Russ Neville is going to be talking about
55:11
Speaker 1: his sister police chief DGI. He'll be in studio at
55:13
Speaker 1: eighty five to talk about that. But don't think he's
55:17
Speaker 1: a defund the police kind of mentality guy. We know
55:19
Speaker 1: that Mayor Aftab Purvoal pretty much is sort of kind
55:22
Speaker 1: of that guy. Maybe get to the bottom of that
55:25
Speaker 1: with this investigation of the police chief. I don't know anyway,
55:27
Speaker 1: Zoran Mondami making anti police statements, all resurfacing, maybe a
55:31
Speaker 1: little late in the game for the New York City
55:33
Speaker 1: residents to wake the hell up to this guy. He
55:37
Speaker 1: was speaking in twenty twenty three, not that far ago.
55:41
Speaker 1: That long ago. He was the keynote speaker at the
55:44
Speaker 1: Democratic Socialist of America's National convention. That time, he said
55:51
Speaker 1: it was important to connect hyper local and international issues,
55:55
Speaker 1: whatever the hell of those two things mean. Speaking is
55:57
Speaker 1: part of a separate panel called Socialist Internationalism the Solution
56:03
Speaker 1: to the Crisis of Capitalism. Huh quote. We are in
56:11
Speaker 1: a country where those connections abound, especially in New York City,
56:14
Speaker 1: where there are so many opportunities to make clear the
56:16
Speaker 1: ways in which the struggle over there is tied to
56:21
Speaker 1: capitalist interests over here. Wait a minute, or what location
56:26
Speaker 1: is he referring to when he says over there? Quite
56:28
Speaker 1: revealing in the next sentence. For anyone to care about
56:32
Speaker 1: these issues, we have to make them connect, meaning the
56:35
Speaker 1: local issues in the city of New York and international
56:38
Speaker 1: issues over there. We have to make clear that when
56:44
Speaker 1: the boot of the New York Police Department is on
56:47
Speaker 1: your neck, it's been laced by the IDF. We have
56:54
Speaker 1: to make it materially connected to their lives. So somehow
57:01
Speaker 1: and in some way, the oppressive authoritative boot of the
57:05
Speaker 1: New York the Police Department is being directed by the
57:08
Speaker 1: Israeli Defense Force. This guy's batcrap insane. This is a
57:14
Speaker 1: noted anti Semite. And you know, there were so many
57:20
Speaker 1: Jewish people in the city of New York. I can't
57:22
Speaker 1: imagine that any of them would vote for this guy.
57:24
Speaker 1: And yet, for whatever reason, the Jewish community has rallied
57:29
Speaker 1: around Democrats for decades. I've never understood that ever. I
57:34
Speaker 1: just I've got lots and lots of Jewish friends, and
57:37
Speaker 1: I've had conversations with him about it, and this kind
57:39
Speaker 1: of laugh and roll their eyes or I've never gotten
57:42
Speaker 1: a decent, clear explanation for that. But maybe it's because
57:46
Speaker 1: they perceive the Republicans as a bunch of Christians and
57:49
Speaker 1: for some reason what we can't all play along it
57:51
Speaker 1: is the Judeo Christian ethic we're referring to here, but
57:58
Speaker 1: quite revealing that also feeling the fact that he's taken
58:01
Speaker 1: in campaign contributions from foreign nationals, which is illegal. He's
58:09
Speaker 1: been referred by the filed by the Coolidge Reagan Foundation
58:13
Speaker 1: referred to Zorhanman Dami criminally filed the referrals to the
58:23
Speaker 1: Department of Justice's Criminal Justice Division Manhattan District Attorney Alvin
58:26
Speaker 1: Bragg's office. Just yesterday, campaign brought in about thirteen thousand
58:30
Speaker 1: dollars from about one hundred and seventy donors addresses outside
58:33
Speaker 1: of the United States, donors including his mother in law
58:36
Speaker 1: in Dubai. Federal law does prohibit campaigns from accepting money
58:40
Speaker 1: from foreign nationals. To the spokesman for the organization, Mam
58:44
Speaker 1: Donnie's campaign reportedly accepted donations from individuals abroad, some even
58:48
Speaker 1: tied to regions and individuals openly sympathetic to hostile actors,
58:53
Speaker 1: whether through negligence or intent, Its conduct undermines the integrity
58:57
Speaker 1: of the democratic process. In fact, Mandammie's campaig And already
59:00
Speaker 1: had to return some of the funds. According to the
59:02
Speaker 1: New York Post, eighty eight donations with the total of
59:05
Speaker 1: just over seven thousand dollars have not been returned, even
59:09
Speaker 1: though they're identified as coming from foreign sources. I just
59:18
Speaker 1: I've said it before, I saying I'm sixty, have you
59:21
Speaker 1: said Brian Thomas we're gonna make you mayor of New
59:26
Speaker 1: York City. I do not believe I have the requisite
59:29
Speaker 1: skill sets to be mayor of New York City. Does
59:32
Speaker 1: anyone believe Zorhanmandami at age thirty three has the requisite
59:35
Speaker 1: skill set since he really has never held a job,
59:38
Speaker 1: that he could run an entire city of New York?
59:41
Speaker 1: Does anybody else wonder as I do, who his puppet
59:44
Speaker 1: master is, because that person, those groups of people, those entities,
59:52
Speaker 1: whoever is controlling his decision making. And I do believe
59:55
Speaker 1: it's gonna be thoroughly controlled by outside influences. We have
59:58
Speaker 1: a tremendous amount authority over this in New York, millions
1:00:01
Speaker 1: and millions of people with billions of dollars of annual
1:00:04
Speaker 1: revenue generated. Who is Jorhan Mondami's puppet master? Six forty
1:00:13
Speaker 1: six fifty five KR city talk station. Frightening stuff going
1:00:17
Speaker 1: on in the world right now? Plumb type station, This
1:00:23
Speaker 1: shuy is six fifty one here fifty five KRSD talk
1:00:26
Speaker 1: station five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five eight
1:00:28
Speaker 1: hundred eight two three pound five fifty on AT and
1:00:30
Speaker 1: T phone. Mareene thinks she has the answer. She says
1:00:33
Speaker 1: it's George Soros, because Jorhan Mandamis has deep family ties
1:00:37
Speaker 1: to George Soros. Maybe it is. I guess I have
1:00:41
Speaker 1: just concluded, just again based on my own life experience
1:00:45
Speaker 1: and how much life experience I had at age thirty three,
1:00:47
Speaker 1: even though I had gainful employment as a litigation attorney,
1:00:50
Speaker 1: doubt I had the requisite skill skill sets. So someone's
1:00:53
Speaker 1: going to be making his decisions for him. Mariene has
1:00:55
Speaker 1: guest first, So go to the phones, Mike, thanks for
1:00:57
Speaker 1: calling this morning, Happy Wednesday.
1:01:00
Speaker 12: Hey Brian, real quick about my Donnie and about the
1:01:04
Speaker 12: taking money from foreign nationalism. I mean, what exactly is
1:01:07
Speaker 12: the penalty for that? You to return the money and
1:01:10
Speaker 12: that's it?
1:01:10
Speaker 1: Probably you know, Honestly I don't. I don't definitively know
1:01:14
Speaker 1: if you hid the contributions, if you made a conscious
1:01:17
Speaker 1: effort to accept foreign contributions, if you're engaged in some
1:01:21
Speaker 1: sort of coordinated criminal to be like a criminal endeavor
1:01:23
Speaker 1: to to hide where the money came from. Maybe there
1:01:27
Speaker 1: is some criminal charge. It could be levied or weight
1:01:29
Speaker 1: or some some finer penalty, but I think as of
1:01:32
Speaker 1: right now, oh oh wait a minute, the money came
1:01:34
Speaker 1: from some foreign donor whoops here, let me give it back.
1:01:37
Speaker 1: And I think that unrings the bell of any penalty.
1:01:40
Speaker 12: Right, it should be more string and I kick you
1:01:42
Speaker 12: off the ticket or something. I mean, I should be
1:01:46
Speaker 12: something mind it.
1:01:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know, the world such a small place
1:01:49
Speaker 1: now with all these pay apps and PayPal and the
1:01:51
Speaker 1: like and instant transfers of money and ease of coordination.
1:01:56
Speaker 1: That's another thing the Internet's allowed us to do. You
1:01:58
Speaker 1: can see it in the form of protests becoming more
1:02:00
Speaker 1: and more successful, because if the word can literally get
1:02:03
Speaker 1: out to everyone, some slice of humanity is going to
1:02:06
Speaker 1: get the word and they're going to show up. Not
1:02:08
Speaker 1: that they would have in the absence of the Internet.
1:02:09
Speaker 1: They probably never would even have heard about whatever rally
1:02:11
Speaker 1: you're going to do. But behind the scenes, you could
1:02:13
Speaker 1: get a whole bunch of people to put collectively together
1:02:16
Speaker 1: on a global basis five bucks here, ten bucks there,
1:02:19
Speaker 1: and then sort of pile it up in a package
1:02:21
Speaker 1: and have some political action committee receive the money and
1:02:24
Speaker 1: never know where that money came from. The ease with
1:02:27
Speaker 1: which you can hide contributions is just a frightening thing
1:02:31
Speaker 1: going on right now. So I don't know there's a
1:02:35
Speaker 1: solution to it, but at least in the case of Mondami,
1:02:37
Speaker 1: they've identified foreign contributions. H coming up in a job
1:02:42
Speaker 1: a big picture with Jack ed than to make America
1:02:44
Speaker 1: sing again. And one more thing, because I've been on
1:02:48
Speaker 1: a terarabot, We're going to get nuclear power. It seems
1:02:51
Speaker 1: pretty obvious. US government and Westinghouse just agreed on an
1:02:54
Speaker 1: eighty billion dollar deal to construct a whole bunch of
1:02:57
Speaker 1: nuclear power plants in this country, fulfilling the Donald Trump's
1:03:00
Speaker 1: goal of doing just that. It's going to create they say,
1:03:06
Speaker 1: forty five thousand manufacturing and engineering jobs in forty three states,
1:03:09
Speaker 1: and national deployment will create more than one hundred thousand
1:03:12
Speaker 1: construction jobs. All good for the country. And of course, abundant, unlimited,
1:03:16
Speaker 1: twenty four hour days, seven day week, carbon free nuclear
1:03:19
Speaker 1: power is going to save us. Bill Gates is on board. Now.
1:03:21
Speaker 1: I thought this was rather hilarious. After spending billions of
1:03:25
Speaker 1: dollars on climate change programs, carbon capture programs, blah blah blah,
1:03:29
Speaker 1: the Gates Foundation, which has spent huge sums of cash
1:03:33
Speaker 1: the companies working on reducing global greenhouse gas emissions, Bill
1:03:36
Speaker 1: Gates has changed his mind, saying now climate change will
1:03:39
Speaker 1: not lead to humanity's demise. Hmm. Pen lengthy blog post
1:03:46
Speaker 1: last week urging a shift away from doom the doomsday
1:03:49
Speaker 1: outlook quote. Although climate change will have serious consequences, particularly
1:03:54
Speaker 1: for people in the poorest countries, it will not lead
1:03:57
Speaker 1: humanity's demise. People will be able to live and thrive
1:03:59
Speaker 1: in most places on the Earth for the foreseeable future.
1:04:03
Speaker 1: Where's al gore? He even noted some of the ways
1:04:09
Speaker 1: of the obsessive focus on lower and greenhouse gas emissions
1:04:11
Speaker 1: has negatively impacted the very groups crime and alarmists, if warned,
1:04:14
Speaker 1: would suffer them most to rising global temperatures. Quote. A
1:04:18
Speaker 1: few years ago, the government of one low income country
1:04:22
Speaker 1: set out to cut emissions by banning synthetic fertilizers. He
1:04:25
Speaker 1: pointed out, farmers yield plummeted. Huh, there was much less
1:04:29
Speaker 1: food available and prices skyrocketed. The country was hit by
1:04:33
Speaker 1: a crisis because the government valued reducing emissions above other
1:04:40
Speaker 1: important things close quote yeah, like eating eating. He also
1:04:55
Speaker 1: noted that heat less of a problem than cold, far
1:05:04
Speaker 1: greater threat to humanity, writing surprisingly, excessive cold is far deadlier,
1:05:10
Speaker 1: killing nearly ten times more people every year than he does. Plus,
1:05:15
Speaker 1: it's plant food that carbon dioxide. So Bill Gates is
1:05:17
Speaker 1: on board. He's got a vested interest in artificial intelligence,
1:05:20
Speaker 1: among other things. He's got to vested interest in an
1:05:22
Speaker 1: abundance of power. He knows that a windmill is not
1:05:25
Speaker 1: going to power his projects going forward. At least he
1:05:31
Speaker 1: appreciates the broader societal implications of chasing our tails. People die.
1:05:37
Speaker 1: What it's a pleasure having you on the program. Apparently
1:05:39
Speaker 1: we're gonna make America sing again, Jack.
1:05:41
Speaker 10: We're gonna try, and we're gonna try. Thanks, brother, I
1:05:45
Speaker 10: guess you jolted us away, showing how Democrats keeping the
1:05:50
Speaker 10: federal government shut are trying to incite supermarket sweep theft
1:05:55
Speaker 10: by people on food stams. Yeah, unless Republicans extend SUBSI
1:06:01
Speaker 10: COVID subsidies for Obamacare for another ten years and also
1:06:06
Speaker 10: pay healthcare costs for tens of millions of illegal aliens,
1:06:11
Speaker 10: all to the tune of one point five trillion dollars
1:06:15
Speaker 10: in deficit spending, we don't have. So, I guess the
1:06:18
Speaker 10: last thing we want to do this morning is sing.
1:06:22
Speaker 10: But folks, I think we have to as long as
1:06:25
Speaker 10: we're singing the right kind of songs. A little history.
1:06:30
Speaker 10: Twenty five hundred years ago, when China was being torn
1:06:34
Speaker 10: apart by internal conflicts, Confucius said you could judge the
1:06:39
Speaker 10: morality of a nation by its music. Around the same
1:06:43
Speaker 10: time as ancient Greece was declining from its Golden Age,
1:06:48
Speaker 10: Plato warned about how music could warp the minds of kids.
1:06:52
Speaker 10: He instead called for music that promoted virtue. What used
1:06:57
Speaker 10: to be called the Great American Songbook includes thousands of
1:07:01
Speaker 10: songs that show how our country grew, assimilated, and celebrated
1:07:07
Speaker 10: what it means to be an American. So I'm urging
1:07:10
Speaker 10: kids and adults to resist peer pressure, to stand up
1:07:15
Speaker 10: to popular culture and think about what we're hearing and
1:07:19
Speaker 10: what we've lost our continence. First songs were, of course,
1:07:23
Speaker 10: Native American chants and dances. Shamans said they received them
1:07:27
Speaker 10: in dreams from spirit beings. They became the heartbeat of
1:07:31
Speaker 10: the prairies and plains. It's hard to imagine a Western movie,
1:07:35
Speaker 10: especially one of the old classics, without hearing those hypnotic rhythms.
1:07:40
Speaker 10: Even Cold Porter in the twentieth century began one of
1:07:43
Speaker 10: his most haunting songs, Night and Day, with Fred Astaires
1:07:47
Speaker 10: singing about the beat beat beat of the tom tom.
1:07:50
Speaker 10: The first Europeans brought their own songs. Now stern Pilgrims
1:07:55
Speaker 10: did not allow musical instruments. They rejected established church rituals
1:08:00
Speaker 10: that employed organs and even whole orchestras. But the Pilgrims,
1:08:04
Speaker 10: even the Pilgrims, did sing, including the women. As long
1:08:08
Speaker 10: as the women sang with the men, there was no
1:08:10
Speaker 10: danger that they would become Jezebels. The pilgrim's first hymn, though,
1:08:16
Speaker 10: came from England, not from England directly. Actually, it came
1:08:20
Speaker 10: from Holland, the big hearted nation that first gave Pilgrims
1:08:24
Speaker 10: shelter from the religious persecution they had faced in England.
1:08:28
Speaker 1: So Brian.
1:08:29
Speaker 10: The earliest hymns in America were not only about religion,
1:08:33
Speaker 10: they were about religious freedom and tolerance. Each new wave
1:08:38
Speaker 10: of European immigrants brought songs from the old countries, the
1:08:42
Speaker 10: Scottish and Irish, contributing tunes that all Americans came to
1:08:46
Speaker 10: cherish thanks to popular performers, for instance, Harry Lauder. Most
1:08:51
Speaker 10: people have never heard of them today, but wearing a
1:08:53
Speaker 10: kilt and tam o shanter, Harry became one of America's
1:08:57
Speaker 10: first superstars or Blain songs like Roman in the Gloman.
1:09:03
Speaker 10: But singing wasn't reserved for Harry and other stars. Almost
1:09:07
Speaker 10: every middle class American home had a parlor, and every
1:09:11
Speaker 10: parlor had a piano. Everyone sang at first foreign and
1:09:16
Speaker 10: then American songs. The band called the Father of American
1:09:21
Speaker 10: Music was born in eighteen twenty six just outside Pittsburgh.
1:09:25
Speaker 10: He composed here in Cincinnati with the canned do American spirit.
1:09:31
Speaker 10: Stephen Foster taught himself piano, guitar, flute, and clarinet. Then
1:09:37
Speaker 10: he wrote giddy robs like Camptown Races, Douda Duda, but
1:09:42
Speaker 10: also wistful songs, songs of separation, because separation defined America.
1:09:49
Speaker 10: Back in Europe, most people never left home. The new
1:09:52
Speaker 10: Americans were pioneers and wanderers. We all know the refrain
1:09:57
Speaker 10: O Susanna, don't you cry from me? I come from
1:10:01
Speaker 10: Alabama with a banjo on my knee. You can still
1:10:04
Speaker 10: hear James Taylor's recording these things it beautifully, but most
1:10:08
Speaker 10: people don't know this verse from that song. I soon
1:10:13
Speaker 10: will be in New Orleans, and then I'll look around,
1:10:16
Speaker 10: and when I find Susanna I'll fall upon the ground.
1:10:20
Speaker 10: But if I do not find her, this darkie will
1:10:24
Speaker 10: surely die. And when I'm dead and buried, Susanna, don't
1:10:29
Speaker 10: you cry. Darkies were almost all slaves in eighteen sixty four,
1:10:35
Speaker 10: when Stephen Foster died so young. There's not a trace
1:10:39
Speaker 10: of African or Caribbean music in Oh Susannah. But you
1:10:42
Speaker 10: could feel and you could hear field hollers on plantations
1:10:47
Speaker 10: and levees and spirituals in black churches, all with roots
1:10:51
Speaker 10: in West Africa. One hundred years later, they intoxicated a
1:10:56
Speaker 10: white kid from Memphis. Elvis's manager, Colonel Tom Parker, is
1:11:00
Speaker 10: supposed to have said he was looking for a white
1:11:03
Speaker 10: guy who could sing black because in the nineteen fifties
1:11:06
Speaker 10: you still needed white pop singers to cover black songs.
1:11:10
Speaker 10: Boo nexs, Yeah, Pat, he's still with us, he still
1:11:13
Speaker 10: walking stuff on TV. Thanks to the Civil Rights Movement,
1:11:18
Speaker 10: all of that finally changed. Motown replaced New York's Tinpan
1:11:22
Speaker 10: Alley the legendary capital of songwriting. But long before Motown,
1:11:27
Speaker 10: black musicians had made their mark, at least with a
1:11:30
Speaker 10: smaller audience. Louis Armstrong's best records date from the nineteen
1:11:34
Speaker 10: twenties with his New Orleans Hot five and Hot seven.
1:11:39
Speaker 10: Louis wailed on cornet, his wife Lil played piano, but
1:11:43
Speaker 10: really it was all about rhythm. The original word for
1:11:46
Speaker 10: jazz was jazz, meaning pep energy. Jazz led to swinging
1:11:51
Speaker 10: big bands, bebop rock and the offshoots we have today,
1:11:56
Speaker 10: including rhythms from a later immigrant group, East Indian. Even
1:12:00
Speaker 10: if you've never seen a Bollywood movie, you're probably dancing
1:12:03
Speaker 10: in a club to Hindi pop. Jazz gave us a
1:12:07
Speaker 10: galaxy of geniuses the very few kids know today, Jelly
1:12:11
Speaker 10: Roll Morton, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and my favorite, Duke Ellington.
1:12:17
Speaker 10: The Duke broke songs that are as great as any
1:12:20
Speaker 10: America ever produced, lush, magnificent melodies, try sophisticated lady. He
1:12:26
Speaker 10: recorded it many times, including once with our local girl
1:12:30
Speaker 10: Rosemary Clooney, and although racism kept Duke's band playing in
1:12:35
Speaker 10: small town clubs many other time, he always considered himself
1:12:39
Speaker 10: part of the Tinpan Alley mainstream, So a word about that.
1:12:44
Speaker 10: It was less a stream than a mighty river in
1:12:46
Speaker 10: its a day. From before the First World War until
1:12:50
Speaker 10: the nineteen sixties when it was swamped by rock and
1:12:53
Speaker 10: then grunge, rap, techno, and whatever is coming next. Tinpen
1:12:59
Speaker 10: Alley's Great American Songbook included every threat of the American fabric,
1:13:04
Speaker 10: European waltzes made American by the great Jerome Kern and
1:13:08
Speaker 10: Rogers and Hart, City rhythms and blues of George and
1:13:12
Speaker 10: Ira Gershwin, the sophistication of Cole Porter, the down home
1:13:16
Speaker 10: poetry of Hoki Carmichael. I'm glad you mentioned Johnny Mercer.
1:13:20
Speaker 10: You love his stuff.
1:13:21
Speaker 1: Hellie Carmichael was brilliant.
1:13:23
Speaker 10: He was He was He Seemen one of the greatest
1:13:26
Speaker 10: movies ever, the best years of our lives. America's quite
1:13:30
Speaker 10: essential songwriter was Irving Berlin. I think a Jew from
1:13:35
Speaker 10: Czarist Russia, actually Siberia. Irving started out at New York's
1:13:40
Speaker 10: Bowery in nineteen oh six as a singing waiter. English
1:13:44
Speaker 10: was his second language and he couldn't read music. But
1:13:47
Speaker 10: Irving Berlin provided the words and music for America Alexander's
1:13:53
Speaker 10: ragtime band. Gee I Wish I was back in the
1:13:55
Speaker 10: Army That was sung after both the First and Second
1:13:58
Speaker 10: World Wars. Girl is like a melody Easter Parade, White Christmas,
1:14:04
Speaker 10: God Bless America. The list is endless. Every performer of
1:14:09
Speaker 10: every race and creed has played or sung Irving Berlin
1:14:12
Speaker 10: and America's other top songwriters of that time for more
1:14:16
Speaker 10: than one hundred years. Lady Gaga, for one, still does
1:14:20
Speaker 10: them wonderfully, especially with the late Tony Bennett folks. I
1:14:24
Speaker 10: don't know if most songs we're here in today will
1:14:27
Speaker 10: last another one hundred years. It's a touchy subject, since
1:14:31
Speaker 10: people love whatever music they've grown up with, if only
1:14:34
Speaker 10: for nostalgia. But let me end with this. Older songs
1:14:40
Speaker 10: almost always had melodies, and they almost always promoted American values.
1:14:46
Speaker 10: That may sound corny as Kansas in August to quote
1:14:49
Speaker 10: a lyric from Rogers and Hammerstein, but it's true. Take
1:14:53
Speaker 10: a Sinatra ballot from the nineteen forties, not a classic,
1:14:57
Speaker 10: but typical of the time. It's the same same old
1:15:00
Speaker 10: dream finds young Frankie with the Bobby socksers longing for
1:15:05
Speaker 10: a wedding. I can see as steeples surrounded by people,
1:15:09
Speaker 10: and oh how real it all starts to seem then
1:15:13
Speaker 10: once you're married. Even that arch sophisticate Cole Porter wrote
1:15:17
Speaker 10: in his song easy to love. Oh, how we'd bloom,
1:15:21
Speaker 10: how we'd thrive in a cottage for two or even three,
1:15:25
Speaker 10: four or five. Oh, try to see your future with me,
1:15:30
Speaker 10: because they'd be oh so easy to love. Those are
1:15:34
Speaker 10: the songs that created the greatest generation. But I think
1:15:38
Speaker 10: America's future will be even greater right now, Brian, if
1:15:42
Speaker 10: once in a while we listen and maybe even sing
1:15:46
Speaker 10: some of the old songs about faith, family, kindness, and patriotism,
1:15:52
Speaker 10: and then building on that legacy, add a few more
1:15:56
Speaker 10: states to our great American songbook. Now with a speaking
1:16:00
Speaker 10: voice like yours, you must be a great singer.
1:16:04
Speaker 1: No, I'm not a great singer. I can carry a tune,
1:16:07
Speaker 1: there's no question about it, but no one would ever
1:16:09
Speaker 1: consider me great as far as singing is concerned.
1:16:11
Speaker 10: But you're rather treated sometime.
1:16:13
Speaker 1: Your focus, your subject matter focused, And I appreciate that.
1:16:16
Speaker 1: And it seems to me, you know, societal evolution, it's
1:16:20
Speaker 1: become far more acceptable to deal with very touchy subject
1:16:24
Speaker 1: matters and song lyrics. I was writing down various names
1:16:27
Speaker 1: I wrote down as you were speaking, Woody Guthrie, for example,
1:16:29
Speaker 1: Pete Seeger, other rebels fighting for a cause and using
1:16:34
Speaker 1: their music to advance a message. So you can find
1:16:38
Speaker 1: subject matter driven music throughout the ages that might deviate
1:16:41
Speaker 1: from these, you know, these appreciated wonderful concepts that you're
1:16:45
Speaker 1: talking about. But I think it was I don't know
1:16:47
Speaker 1: when it finally kicked in in earnest. Was it, you know,
1:16:49
Speaker 1: the Woody Guthrie area that started protesting. I don't know,
1:16:52
Speaker 1: but of course in the sixties you had a ton
1:16:53
Speaker 1: of people Joan Bias, Pete seeger Uh, you know, taking
1:16:57
Speaker 1: the mantle and using music as a form of pro
1:17:00
Speaker 1: to advance some message. I even had a conversation with
1:17:03
Speaker 1: Paul Atte just yesterday. I believe it was about a
1:17:05
Speaker 1: Pink Floyd song. I was defending music taking positions contrary
1:17:09
Speaker 1: to what I believe. Notably, I have some measure of
1:17:13
Speaker 1: respect for the use of music if it's done in
1:17:15
Speaker 1: a brilliant fashion, if it's done lyrically wonderful, and they
1:17:17
Speaker 1: can deliver a message that makes you go hmm. I
1:17:20
Speaker 1: appreciate that. And I've always said, you know, if I
1:17:22
Speaker 1: had to throw out all of the musicians that disagree
1:17:26
Speaker 1: with me politically, a lot of music that I dearly love,
1:17:29
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be listening to but there was this song
1:17:31
Speaker 1: back on the final cut, Pink Floyd's Final cut called
1:17:33
Speaker 1: Fletcher Memorial Home, and he talks about getting Reagan and
1:17:36
Speaker 1: Haig and Margaret Thatcher and Monochambag and everybody, all these
1:17:41
Speaker 1: world leaders put him in a room called the Fletcher
1:17:44
Speaker 1: Memorial Home. And then the final line in the song
1:17:46
Speaker 1: is now the Final Solution can be applied, which is
1:17:50
Speaker 1: horrific when you think about what that means. He was
1:17:52
Speaker 1: talking about applying the Nazi Final Solution on all these
1:17:55
Speaker 1: world leaders he's gathered up in a building to let
1:17:58
Speaker 1: him talk to each other to make themselves feel And
1:18:01
Speaker 1: I said, you know what, I don't agree with the
1:18:03
Speaker 1: people he's identified, but you could name a whole bunch
1:18:06
Speaker 1: of global world leaders, dictators like Jijin Ping, and I conceptually,
1:18:12
Speaker 1: in a lyrical manner, in a theoretical level, wouldn't mind
1:18:16
Speaker 1: putting them in a room, have them talk to each other,
1:18:18
Speaker 1: and then maybe apply the Final solution to all these
1:18:20
Speaker 1: evil dictators who were a bunch of murderous thugs. Music
1:18:23
Speaker 1: can be you know, I guess, it can steer the
1:18:29
Speaker 1: direction of a conversation. It can get you talking. And
1:18:32
Speaker 1: we had a nice long conversation about the importance of that.
1:18:35
Speaker 1: So that's my take on it.
1:18:37
Speaker 10: Jack Atherton, Well, I don't know if it's so much
1:18:39
Speaker 10: about subject better because we've had protest songs since we
1:18:44
Speaker 10: first set foot.
1:18:45
Speaker 1: Oh, Yankee Doodle Dandy.
1:18:47
Speaker 10: Pilgrims were protesting, they were protestants, That's what it was
1:18:51
Speaker 10: all about. Yeah, Yankee Doodle Dandy was a protest song.
1:18:55
Speaker 1: Yeah.
1:18:55
Speaker 10: John Brown when he was marching off to Harper's Ferry
1:18:59
Speaker 10: and singing Glory, Gloria, Hallelujah, that was a protest song. True,
1:19:04
Speaker 10: And you can have protest songs that are protesting all
1:19:07
Speaker 10: the wrong things. Hitler had his Hitler youth singing the
1:19:10
Speaker 10: Horse Vessel Song, which was about making the streets free
1:19:14
Speaker 10: for stormtroopers. You have, But I don't think it's so bad.
1:19:18
Speaker 10: We hear plenty of protest songs. You can put on
1:19:21
Speaker 10: the news and watch people in Chicago and Seattle every
1:19:24
Speaker 10: night of the week protesting with pretty bad songs, I think.
1:19:27
Speaker 10: But who am I to say? I don't think it's wrong, though,
1:19:30
Speaker 10: and that's why I brought this up. Love it every
1:19:32
Speaker 10: once in a while to have a song about gratitude
1:19:35
Speaker 10: because we have a lot to be grateful for you.
1:19:37
Speaker 10: You wouldn't know that from a lot of the songs
1:19:39
Speaker 10: that you hear today.
1:19:40
Speaker 1: Most of them might say one thing, one category music
1:19:43
Speaker 1: that I'm not a huge fan of that you can
1:19:44
Speaker 1: kind of count on for at least being patriotic more
1:19:46
Speaker 1: often than any other. It's country music. You get some
1:19:49
Speaker 1: really good, solid patriotic, pro American songs as some of
1:19:53
Speaker 1: those country artists. Jack edan really cool conversation this morning.
1:19:57
Speaker 1: I'm glad you came on the program, as I always am,
1:19:59

Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward to having Russ in the studio
1:20:44
Speaker 1: talk about that. Also looking forward to as I always
1:20:46
Speaker 1: do this segment because Donovan and Neil from Americans Were
1:20:49
Speaker 1: Prosperity joins a program every every week at this time
1:20:52
Speaker 1: to talk about stuff and things and what AFP is doing.
1:20:54
Speaker 1: Most notably today, Let's get the government going again. That's
1:20:57
Speaker 1: the Democrats issue, is it not. Donalvanilcome back to the
1:21:00
Speaker 1: Morning show, Brian.
1:21:02
Speaker 13: Always a pleasure to be with you.
1:21:04
Speaker 9: Yeah.
1:21:04
Speaker 13: At twenty eight days and the federal government second longest
1:21:08
Speaker 13: shut down in American history at this point.
1:21:11
Speaker 1: And people are getting ready to start feeling the pain.
1:21:13
Speaker 1: I know the Snaps in a notice out to SNAP
1:21:15
Speaker 1: recipients in November first, they're not going to have any
1:21:17
Speaker 1: more money left. Donald Trump says there is no money left.
1:21:19
Speaker 1: Lawsuit just filed by twenty five states saying hey, you
1:21:22
Speaker 1: got five billion dollars you're sitting on. Sadly, even if
1:21:25
Speaker 1: they win that lawsuit and they allocate that pile of
1:21:27
Speaker 1: money wherever, that happens to be Donovan, it's not going
1:21:30
Speaker 1: to be enough to even cover the nut for the
1:21:31
Speaker 1: month of November, which is widely reported as nine billion dollars,
1:21:35
Speaker 1: far exceeding the five billion dollars that apparently is laying
1:21:38
Speaker 1: in a pile somewhere in Washington.
1:21:41
Speaker 13: Yeah, and that's that's really what we're facing up against.
1:21:44
Speaker 13: And you've got talking points coming out of you know,
1:21:48
Speaker 13: radio shows and television interviews with Democrats. Who are you
1:21:51
Speaker 13: talking about the political pressure point that they're using this for.
1:21:55
Speaker 13: This isn't about policy, Brian, It's about politics for the
1:21:58
Speaker 13: Democrats right now, and why they're not breaking ranks in
1:22:01
Speaker 13: the Schumer shutdown.
1:22:02
Speaker 1: Right, Well, let's go down the list. Here we have it,
1:22:05
Speaker 1: among others, Senators Martin Heinrich, paying our troops gives the
1:22:09
Speaker 1: president more leverage. Bernie Sanders, you reopen the government and
1:22:13
Speaker 1: we lose our leverage, Chuck Schumer. Every day gets better
1:22:16
Speaker 1: for us, meaning the Senators, not the American people. Rubin Gallego,
1:22:20
Speaker 1: then i'd get just go back to another shutdown again
1:22:23
Speaker 1: after this one. Chris Coons, Frankly, this is our only
1:22:26
Speaker 1: moment of leverage, and although a very unpleasant tool to use,
1:22:29
Speaker 1: and finally we have Catherine Clark, Congresswoman. There will be
1:22:33
Speaker 1: families that are going to suffer, but it is one
1:22:35
Speaker 1: of the few leverage times we have. Well, they're revealing
1:22:38
Speaker 1: their hand quite openly. They know it's painful, they know
1:22:41
Speaker 1: it's stupid, they know they own it. They know that
1:22:43
Speaker 1: the funding levels have not been reduced. They don't have
1:22:45
Speaker 1: any argument that the Republicans somehow gutted government spending and
1:22:50
Speaker 1: passing the clean cr from the twenty twenty four funding levels.
1:22:53
Speaker 1: I thought that was brilliant from the Republicans taking out
1:22:55
Speaker 1: that argument that they of course would have. The only
1:22:58
Speaker 1: thing they have the hand to hang on, the hang
1:23:00
Speaker 1: to hang their hat on, is that these subsidies are
1:23:02
Speaker 1: going to end. For Obamacare, subsidies that in their own
1:23:05
Speaker 1: legislation passed I believe exclusively by Democrats, has a cutoff
1:23:09
Speaker 1: date of the end of this year. Hm. I guess
1:23:11
Speaker 1: this is a Democrat's fault. Huh, Donovan, Well, that's absolutely right.
1:23:16
Speaker 13: They set temporary subsidies to end that have nothing to
1:23:19
Speaker 13: do with the funding and function of our federal government.
1:23:22
Speaker 13: And I think that's why Republicans conservatives have the moral
1:23:25
Speaker 13: high ground in this in this argument and are winning it.
1:23:29
Speaker 13: But this isn't about winning the argument, right, Brian. It's
1:23:32
Speaker 13: a budge, just getting to a normal order of business
1:23:34
Speaker 13: opening our federal government so that you know, these benefits
1:23:38
Speaker 13: that are you know, promised to individuals in this country
1:23:41
Speaker 13: are able to flow to them, so that we can
1:23:43
Speaker 13: get back to getting the budget done in both chambers
1:23:46
Speaker 13: and sent to the President's desk, so for the first
1:23:48
Speaker 13: time and forever, we can actually have a normal budget
1:23:50
Speaker 13: process and fund our federal government. And here's the thing too, Brian,
1:23:55
Speaker 13: that we're not talking about as well, but starting to
1:23:57
Speaker 13: come into focus. We're not getting done because we're stuck
1:24:00
Speaker 13: in this stalemate. Right. We've got opportunities to do immigration reform.
1:24:04
Speaker 13: We've secured the border through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act,
1:24:07
Speaker 13: but there's opportunities here to further reformer immigration system so
1:24:11
Speaker 13: that it works for the people coming to this country
1:24:13
Speaker 13: and the people in this country already. We've got opportunities
1:24:16
Speaker 13: to do more in terms of decisions in reforming government
1:24:18
Speaker 13: to make it work better for the people. And here's
1:24:20
Speaker 13: a big one, permitting reform. We've got to get permitting
1:24:23
Speaker 13: reform done so we can unleash energy abundance and help,
1:24:27
Speaker 13: you know, bring down the costs for homeowners as well
1:24:30
Speaker 13: as manufacturers in this country when it comes to energy.
1:24:32
Speaker 13: Although that's not happening, Brian, because we're stuck in this
1:24:36
Speaker 13: Schumer shutdown. That's sucking all the oxygen out of the room.
1:24:39
Speaker 1: All right, head caller earlier in the program, and I
1:24:41
Speaker 1: think it's an important time to interject this question. Maybe
1:24:43
Speaker 1: you have the answer, maybe you don't, but it seems
1:24:45
Speaker 1: to me odd if the Republicans weren't in recess, couldn't
1:24:48
Speaker 1: they be working on things? Couldn't they be sitting down
1:24:52
Speaker 1: and working on appropriations bills or at least maybe making
1:24:54
Speaker 1: phone calls as senators are obviously still doing their job, well,
1:24:57
Speaker 1: not doing their job, but at least is still in Washington, DC.
1:25:00
Speaker 1: Get him out of recess, let him start working on legislation.
1:25:02
Speaker 1: Couldn't they actually, is it possible for them to pass
1:25:06
Speaker 1: something out of committee even during a government shutdown, because
1:25:09
Speaker 1: they're still being paid their salaries. They could still do
1:25:12
Speaker 1: their work and show up in DC, pass something out
1:25:15
Speaker 1: of committee, put it up for a vote, and to
1:25:18
Speaker 1: it happens.
1:25:20
Speaker 13: Yeah, I'm not entirely plugged into the strategy that Speaker
1:25:24
Speaker 13: Johnson has in terms of how he's running his chamber
1:25:26
Speaker 13: with this. But my understanding is, and I think it
1:25:29
Speaker 13: fits in is right as a matter of policy, is
1:25:32
Speaker 13: the House of Representatives got their clean Continuing Resolution done
1:25:37
Speaker 13: back on September nineteenth. That was the deal that was
1:25:39
Speaker 13: negotiated with Jeffreyes and Schumer and a Senate majority leadership.
1:25:45
Speaker 13: But then when Schumer started getting unrest from his left flank,
1:25:52
Speaker 13: he realized he had to This was a This was
1:25:55
Speaker 13: a point where he had to put a put a
1:25:56
Speaker 13: stake in the ground and cause the shutdown.
1:25:59
Speaker 12: We need to get done.
1:26:01
Speaker 13: Is it's real simple, pass the clean Continuing Resolution. The
1:26:05
Speaker 13: Senate has had thirteen opportunities to pass this. Republicans and
1:26:09
Speaker 13: three Democrats have joined consistently to open the government up.
1:26:13
Speaker 13: That would cause Congress to come back into session, would
1:26:16
Speaker 13: get these committees moving, And I think really as a
1:26:18
Speaker 13: matter of principle, this is a clarifying moment for America
1:26:23
Speaker 13: and for Congress. Are we going to allow folks like
1:26:27
Speaker 13: Senator Schumer and the Democrats in the Senate to use
1:26:30
Speaker 13: this as a circus to score political points on President
1:26:32
Speaker 13: Trump and the new Republican majority, or are we going
1:26:35
Speaker 13: to get to a normal order business, reopen the government
1:26:38
Speaker 13: with a clean continuing resolution and then go back to
1:26:41
Speaker 13: debating and discussing bills with an open government rather than
1:26:45
Speaker 13: a closed federal government.
1:26:46
Speaker 1: Well, I'm a little perplexed by the idea that they
1:26:49
Speaker 1: in insisting on this painful government shutdown, which will become
1:26:52
Speaker 1: more painful for a lot of regular Americans each and
1:26:55
Speaker 1: every day, that they can score points against Trump off
1:26:58
Speaker 1: of keeping the government shut down. Let's review Democrat votes
1:27:01
Speaker 1: required to open the government. Democrats have voted thirteen times
1:27:05
Speaker 1: to keep it closed. Democrats refuse to fund government unless
1:27:08
Speaker 1: Congress restores left wing projects, and Democrats admit to using
1:27:12
Speaker 1: pain as leverage and boast every day that it gets
1:27:15
Speaker 1: better for us. Some of the quotes I just gave
1:27:17
Speaker 1: you all the all the arrows, all the facts, all
1:27:19
Speaker 1: the information points of the Democrats owning this thing. How
1:27:22
Speaker 1: in the hell could it possibly inure to their benefit?
1:27:25
Speaker 1: And to be a point against Donald Trump, who's screaming
1:27:28
Speaker 1: about trying to get the government back open.
1:27:29
Speaker 13: Again, Well, a lot of ways it's that messaging war, right,
1:27:33
Speaker 13: making sure that that folks aren't distracted with the dips,
1:27:38
Speaker 13: dives and dodges that the crabs are doing right now,
1:27:41
Speaker 13: and that's a lot of what you're seeing right It
1:27:43
Speaker 13: started out as this is about, you know, health making
1:27:46
Speaker 13: sure that we make permanent these COVID subsidies for Obamacare. Well,
1:27:50
Speaker 13: then it's about, you know, we've got to restore some
1:27:55
Speaker 13: things that were lost into one big beautiful bill act
1:27:57
Speaker 13: that you know, impacted folks on Medicaid. And then it's shifting,
1:28:01
Speaker 13: you know, it shifts every week into something different that
1:28:05
Speaker 13: the Schumer shutdown is about. And why the Democrats they're
1:28:07
Speaker 13: looking for something to stick here. The reality is September nineteenth,
1:28:12
Speaker 13: Republicans passed a clean continuing resolution, sent it over to
1:28:16
Speaker 13: the Senate, well ahead of the October first funding deadline
1:28:19
Speaker 13: into the fiscal year. Democrats chose to shut down the
1:28:23
Speaker 13: federal government rather than vote for a clean, no frills
1:28:26
Speaker 13: continuing resolution, and that they've got to hang that hat
1:28:29
Speaker 13: on their heads now. And that's the important thing of
1:28:32
Speaker 13: getting out there and talking about this is that it's
1:28:34
Speaker 13: a very easy fixed Brian. As you've outlined, there's nothing
1:28:39
Speaker 13: to negotiate, nothing to a broker. It's just open the government.
1:28:43
Speaker 13: A very simple premise that is being convoluted in the
1:28:48
Speaker 13: mainstream media by by Democrats and their allies.
1:28:52
Speaker 1: All right, let's just say for the sake of discussion
1:28:54
Speaker 1: that the Democrats can pitulate, they open the government back up,
1:28:56
Speaker 1: and they continue this ongoing discussion over the extension of
1:28:59
Speaker 1: these supplements, which is what the Republicans say they are
1:29:01
Speaker 1: willing to do once you get the government open. Now,
1:29:04
Speaker 1: do I really believe the Republicans are going to be
1:29:06
Speaker 1: interested in continuing these subsidies down the road? Not really.
1:29:08
Speaker 1: And the Democrats, I think, appreciate that, which means opening
1:29:11
Speaker 1: the government up is going to end the debate over
1:29:13
Speaker 1: the continuation of the subsidies. But do you think, in
1:29:15
Speaker 1: the back of your mind or do you think, as
1:29:17
Speaker 1: a matter of going forward, if it were to go
1:29:20
Speaker 1: in that order, the government opens, they sit back down
1:29:22
Speaker 1: at the negotiation table, do you think there's a lot
1:29:24
Speaker 1: of Republicans or enough Republicans to capitulate and give them
1:29:27
Speaker 1: something in return by way of supplements.
1:29:31
Speaker 13: Oh, I mean, that's part of how Washington works, right,
1:29:33
Speaker 13: That's politics is a lot of negotiating, debating, and discussing
1:29:38
Speaker 13: on ideas. Now, whether certain folks will come to the
1:29:40
Speaker 13: table in good faith or not that there's a whole
1:29:43
Speaker 13: other factor at play. But I think, you know, throughout
1:29:46
Speaker 13: the process, going back to the passing the one big
1:29:49
Speaker 13: beautiful bill at the working Family's tax cuts, right, there
1:29:51
Speaker 13: were opportunities for Democrats to vote the support of many
1:29:54
Speaker 13: of those provisions right that they would say they agree with, right,
1:29:57
Speaker 13: no tax on overtime, no tax on tips, making sure
1:30:00
Speaker 13: that working Ohioans Americans keep their lower tax rates. But
1:30:07
Speaker 13: you know, they allow themselves, I think, to get tangled
1:30:09
Speaker 13: up on the areas where there's more disagreement than agreement,
1:30:12
Speaker 13: and I think there's opportunities for debate on that. That's
1:30:15
Speaker 13: how this works, That's how the process works, and the
1:30:17
Speaker 13: opportunity we have now. I believe it was Senator Housted
1:30:20
Speaker 13: who said this at a function I was at a
1:30:22
Speaker 13: few weeks back. You know, we can debate and discuss
1:30:24
Speaker 13: these things with the government shut down and not functioning,
1:30:28
Speaker 13: or we can debate and discuss these things with the
1:30:30
Speaker 13: government open and functioning like normal. And that's really the question.
1:30:35
Speaker 13: Do we want to debate these things while people are
1:30:36
Speaker 13: losing their snap benefits, military members are going and paid
1:30:40
Speaker 13: air traffic controllers are going on demonstration and walking off
1:30:44
Speaker 13: the job. Or do we want to do this where
1:30:47
Speaker 13: folks are getting their benefits, federal employees are being paid
1:30:51
Speaker 13: to do their jobs. DC police are getting paid to
1:30:54
Speaker 13: do their jobs, and our military men and women are
1:30:56
Speaker 13: being able to send their paychecks home to their families.
1:30:59
Speaker 13: It's real simple. I choose that option. Right, Let's go open
1:31:02
Speaker 13: the government up and have to te to have these
1:31:03
Speaker 13: debates and discussions and see.
1:31:04
Speaker 7: Where we land.
1:31:05
Speaker 1: All right, I presume that the call to action will
1:31:07
Speaker 1: be for our listening audience to have these discussions out
1:31:10
Speaker 1: loud with their neighbors and their friends. Is there any
1:31:13
Speaker 1: other action item you might suggest, Donovan O'Neil.
1:31:16
Speaker 13: Well, yeah, go, that's absolutely right. Also, go to makes
1:31:19
Speaker 13: Governmentwork dot com. Makesgovernment Work dot Com. There are a
1:31:22
Speaker 13: number of active pieces of legislation that when we get
1:31:25
Speaker 13: the government back open to get done, to get sent
1:31:28
Speaker 13: to the President that would present government shutdowns like this
1:31:30
Speaker 13: from happening ever again in the future. So go to

Speaker 1: the phone just a second mic little heroes there in
1:32:31
Speaker 1: honor of the Honor flight, folks. Uh. One of the
1:32:33
Speaker 1: more funny things that Joe Strekker has done, and he

Speaker 1: listen to the podcast page fifty five care Seed dot
1:32:49
Speaker 1: com and listen to what Jack Atherdan had to say
1:32:51
Speaker 1: and his brilliant words this morning. You've got to check
1:32:54
Speaker 1: out the album cover Joe Trekker created Jack Addington with
1:33:01
Speaker 1: an Elvis like jumpsuit. Oh that's Tom. Tom Jones was
1:33:05
Speaker 1: the impetus. He said, create an image of a Tom
1:33:09
Speaker 1: Jones like image of an album cover featuring with this picture.
1:33:12
Speaker 1: And of course he sent off a picture of Jack Avidant.
1:33:14
Speaker 1: So Jack's head's in there, but of course it's massive
1:33:17
Speaker 1: hair and a purple jumpsuit with sequins. And sadly, Joe
1:33:22
Speaker 1: had to edit out the panties and bras that were
1:33:25
Speaker 1: flying around through the air. I would have left them.
1:33:27
Speaker 1: Joe Strecker, you cracked me up. A salute, got to
1:33:29
Speaker 1: fifty five KC dot com. Put a smile on your face.
1:33:32
Speaker 1: Welcome back, my submarine. Her friend cribbage. Mike, you were there.
1:33:36
Speaker 1: You were there in the morning at CBG to see
1:33:38
Speaker 1: the honor flight off. You were on the honor flight
1:33:40
Speaker 1: and you were there for the what looks like amazing
1:33:43
Speaker 1: return home celebration. Looks like folks came out in force
1:33:46
Speaker 1: yesterday at CBG.
1:33:47
Speaker 7: Mike one percent, sir, and on the on the heels
1:33:51
Speaker 7: of Jack Atherton. The only thing that might have been
1:33:53
Speaker 7: missing would a better rendition of Irving Balin's God Bless America.
1:33:57
Speaker 7: But they surely made up board even without, because you know,
1:34:01
Speaker 7: it's very easy to get pulled down by the news
1:34:03
Speaker 7: of the day, whether it be what's going on downtown
1:34:06
Speaker 7: or zoron Mondami or obviously very front and center yesterday
1:34:09
Speaker 7: in d C is the government shutdown. And I know
1:34:12
Speaker 7: a lot of people on the margins, or maybe not
1:34:14
Speaker 7: even on the margins, maybe going through some difficult times.
1:34:17
Speaker 7: But if I may be a little bit selfish, it
1:34:21
Speaker 7: was very easy getting around DC yesterday.
1:34:26
Speaker 1: Because it's shut down, no lines of traffic there. The
1:34:33
Speaker 1: bus has.
1:34:33
Speaker 7: Got a bus driver who knows DC like the back
1:34:36
Speaker 7: of her hand. I mean she even have made the
1:34:37
Speaker 7: comment at one point. But just Brian, it never gets old.
1:34:42
Speaker 7: I've been involved with the program for twelve years. I've
1:34:44
Speaker 7: been on about eight flights now, and it just it's
1:34:48
Speaker 7: so uplifting, just the assault of the earth people to
1:34:51
Speaker 7: have eighty seven veterans and their guardians too. As luck
1:34:54
Speaker 7: would have it, I was sitting right next to on
1:34:56
Speaker 7: the bus all day long. The Vice principal of my
1:34:59
Speaker 7: former my aunt alma mater, Elder High School, and his
1:35:03
Speaker 7: dad was a Vietnam veteran, So talking things Elder and
1:35:06
Speaker 7: his dad, and you know, but when you go around
1:35:09
Speaker 7: and now that yesterday, like yesterday, eighty five of the
1:35:12
Speaker 7: eighty seven or Vietnam vets that even though our program
1:35:15
Speaker 7: was instituted, was to get those World War two vets
1:35:18
Speaker 7: to the Memorial and across the nation. We did that.
1:35:20
Speaker 7: You know, mission accomplished. But now we have a new
1:35:23
Speaker 7: charter because we all know what those Vietnam vets went through.
1:35:27
Speaker 7: And the last portion of our day we spend about
1:35:29
Speaker 7: two two and a half hours right there in the
1:35:31
Speaker 7: triangle between the Lincoln Memorial, the Korean War Memorial, and
1:35:35
Speaker 7: the Vietnam Wall. And now that the majority of our
1:35:38
Speaker 7: Vietnam vets in every Honor Flight hub around the country,
1:35:41
Speaker 7: there's around one hundred and twenty five. Yesterday there was
1:35:44
Speaker 7: a group there from Iowa and it's so neat because
1:35:47
Speaker 7: what we all do and you've seen it in the pictures.
1:35:49
Speaker 7: You know, our Vietnam Our Honor Flight wear gold T shirts.
1:35:53
Speaker 7: This group from Iowa yesterday had yellow wind breakers and
1:35:57
Speaker 7: to see like school kids are just citizens, you know,
1:35:59
Speaker 7: reach shout and shake their hands. But to spend that
1:36:02
Speaker 7: two hours there assisting these Vietnam vets because a lot
1:36:05
Speaker 7: of them they may have seen the Traveling Wall, but
1:36:07
Speaker 7: it's their first time actually seeing the wall just so compelling. Yeah,
1:36:11
Speaker 7: to hear the story.
1:36:12
Speaker 1: Sorry, no, I get it all day long. I was
1:36:18
Speaker 1: just in awe. I had never seen the memoria, the
1:36:20
Speaker 1: Vietnam Memoria before we went there, when I was on
1:36:22
Speaker 1: the honor flight, and I'd seen pictures of it, and
1:36:24
Speaker 1: it never really it never impressed me. It looks so
1:36:27
Speaker 1: dark and so bleak and just you know, like something
1:36:31
Speaker 1: from two thousand and one of Space Odyssey. But when
1:36:33
Speaker 1: you're there and you see it and you see all
1:36:35
Speaker 1: those names there, I'm my opinion of the Vietnam War
1:36:40
Speaker 1: Memorial Memorial changed just instantaneously. I was quite moved by
1:36:44
Speaker 1: seeing it. I mean, it really had a profound impact.
1:36:47
Speaker 7: And what allows us to assist. There's a and if
1:36:50
Speaker 7: anybody can look it up any times, it's called virtual
1:36:53
Speaker 7: Wall dot or org. Virtual wall dot org. And as
1:36:57
Speaker 7: long as you know the last name or even the
1:36:59
Speaker 7: city or state, you can look you know, and I'll
1:37:01
Speaker 7: be scrolling you know, like I looked up in an
1:37:04
Speaker 7: individual's last name was Davis, and it just seems like
1:37:07
Speaker 7: you're going forever and you're not even out of the
1:37:09
Speaker 7: d's and the a's, you know, just just a gut punch,
1:37:12
Speaker 7: but you know, the people there to pay tribute and
1:37:16
Speaker 7: the welcome home. I just had some antidotal stories last night.
1:37:19
Speaker 7: I mean, you saw some of the pictures, A huge
1:37:22
Speaker 7: shout out to La Coda East that's always there, but
1:37:24
Speaker 7: that was the first time the entire varsity varsity cheerleader
1:37:27
Speaker 7: squad was there in uniform, you know, just cheering that
1:37:32
Speaker 7: we had. And I didn't know it at the time,
1:37:34
Speaker 7: but one of our veterans was a retired school teacher
1:37:36
Speaker 7: from Saint Cecilia, so his former teachers and students were there.
1:37:41
Speaker 7: I took a picture there of some of the little
1:37:43
Speaker 7: child holding, you know, welcome home, Grandpa, and you know,
1:37:47
Speaker 7: I get a chuckle every time, Brian, but just you know,
1:37:49
Speaker 7: because we were name tags as on our flight staff
1:37:52
Speaker 7: members and are you quibbage, Mike. But she's a regular listener,
1:37:58
Speaker 7: and because what you put out yesterday, she said I
1:38:01
Speaker 7: had to come and see it. And I'm so glad.
1:38:02
Speaker 7: I did, so I can't. And there was another veteran
1:38:06
Speaker 7: who told me that he's been to the parade before.
1:38:10
Speaker 7: He's an American Legia member and he's been there to
1:38:13
Speaker 7: welcome home former post members. But he said, Mike, I've
1:38:16
Speaker 7: got to tell you, it was a whole lot different
1:38:18
Speaker 7: being on this side of the rope. And that's what
1:38:20
Speaker 7: it's all about.
1:38:21
Speaker 1: Amen to that. If it would you say it was
1:38:24
Speaker 1: a record turnout. I know you had a couple of
1:38:26
Speaker 1: thousand last time, but they're.
1:38:28
Speaker 7: All his best, as CBG can tell us, And well,
1:38:30
Speaker 7: you saw they were up there on the balcony or
1:38:32
Speaker 7: at least I don't know, five to sixtyst all the
1:38:36
Speaker 7: way around our racetrack. I mean you're easily talking fifteen
1:38:39
Speaker 7: hundred to two thousand is what the CBG tells us.
1:38:41
Speaker 7: That's great, you know, and seeing that other group there
1:38:44
Speaker 7: from Iowa and Cheryl, our CEO, Cheryl Pop put it
1:38:47
Speaker 7: out on our bus because there are one hundred and
1:38:49
Speaker 7: twenty five other cities just like ours been doing what
1:38:52
Speaker 7: we do. That Honor Flight National put out a number
1:38:56
Speaker 7: that we've now been able to take two hundred and
1:38:58
Speaker 7: eighty thousand veterans to DC to honor them.
1:39:02
Speaker 1: Isn't that amazing? Such an amazing organization, and God bless
1:39:06
Speaker 1: you and everybody who's involved in it. And I imagine
1:39:09
Speaker 1: quite a few allergy moments there, Mike, Well, you heard
1:39:13
Speaker 1: me just there. Just I know it. I've lived it, brother,

Speaker 1: I know it. I hear it in your voice, and

1:41:02

1:41:24
Speaker 1: during her four years in the role of police chief
1:41:27

Speaker 4: But Brian, this issue is absolutely not about the Neville
1:42:14
Speaker 4: family or the legacy. It's nice to hear.
1:42:16
Speaker 1: Is anybody suggesting that it is. I would like to
1:42:18
Speaker 1: think not.
1:42:19
Speaker 4: No. I just want to separate it out that we
1:42:21
Speaker 4: are here. We appreciate the recognition, but the focus here
1:42:26
Speaker 4: is Terry and it is where we hope voters in
1:42:29
Speaker 4: the city of Cincinnati specifically challenge themselves to be open
1:42:35
Speaker 4: to an except new leadership, and we can get further
1:42:38
Speaker 4: into that, and.
1:42:38
Speaker 1: We will definitely do that. Russ. The city's got a
1:42:41
Speaker 1: problem with crime. I talk to people all the time,
1:42:44
Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, it's a pain down there. Look what happens.
1:42:46
Speaker 1: I mean, we got Holly getting clocked in the face
1:42:49
Speaker 1: for no reason by some random dude that she wasn't
1:42:52
Speaker 1: even doing anything but rendering assistance. We have a Sarah
1:42:54
Speaker 1: Herringer who gets her husband's stabbed in there over the
1:42:57
Speaker 1: Rhine apartment right in front of her. He died in
1:43:00
Speaker 1: her arms just a couple of and in addition to
1:43:02
Speaker 1: all the gunshots ringing out, all the other murders and
1:43:05
Speaker 1: all the other mayhem, the violence of property crimes. Everybody's saying,
1:43:08
Speaker 1: we've got a crying problem downtown since that, except may
1:43:10
Speaker 1: I have to have parvol who up until about five
1:43:12
Speaker 1: seconds ago, kept going around. No, you have a perception problem.
1:43:16
Speaker 1: It's a perception problem. So then pleasee g. Three g
1:43:21
Speaker 1: gets thiet, he gets left, that your sister gets let go.
1:43:23
Speaker 1: I don't how can I connect this? And how is
1:43:25
Speaker 1: it that she's a scapegoat. She worked for him.
1:43:27
Speaker 4: Let me let me flow into this if we could, if.
1:43:29
Speaker 1: We have time, and I could interjet.
1:43:32
Speaker 4: I want cover Terry's career just a little bit. Thirty
1:43:35
Speaker 4: four years, a mom of four, grandmother and nine at
1:43:39
Speaker 4: this stage dedicated, committed, loyal, honest, direct and strong, and
1:43:45
Speaker 4: she committed those years of this city. And people that
1:43:48
Speaker 4: are in position of authority now have elected to scapegoader
1:43:52
Speaker 4: and set that aside. I go back to It's not
1:43:54
Speaker 4: about the Neville family. It's about the treatment of people
1:43:56
Speaker 4: who currently in future desire to sit in that position
1:44:00
Speaker 4: or other administrative positions such as fire chief.
1:44:02
Speaker 11: Those are very very critical issues.
1:44:05
Speaker 4: And it's about dignity and respect. We transition from that
1:44:09
Speaker 4: to the political element of it. Family of eighty plus
1:44:13
Speaker 4: Brian forty or fifty or a voter age, we're Democrats
1:44:16
Speaker 4: in independence Republicans. We vote across the board, we talk
1:44:20
Speaker 4: across the board, and we're fortunate that we can do
1:44:22
Speaker 4: that as a family and still get along and enjoy
1:44:24
Speaker 4: sitting down together. Point being, the mayor has failed in
1:44:31
Speaker 4: managing this city, and we as a family for those
1:44:35
Speaker 4: that continue to vote in the city, in those otherwise
1:44:37
Speaker 4: in the county which it reaches out to, in other elements,
1:44:41
Speaker 4: we recognize collectively that this is about leadership change in
1:44:47
Speaker 4: the city the mayor, regardless of your party, this borders
1:44:54
Speaker 4: on inhumane the treatment of Chief Thiji Terry Thiji when
1:45:00
Speaker 4: he is leading this. I don't care what anybody says,
1:45:04
Speaker 4: and we will wait for other elements to come out
1:45:06
Speaker 4: as the lawyers on their side and the lawyers on
1:45:08
Speaker 4: Terry side do what they do, and we'll leave that
1:45:10
Speaker 4: process work itself out. He's wasting tax dollars. It's the
1:45:17
Speaker 4: timing of the waste of tax dollars. When the money's
1:45:19
Speaker 4: not there, the resources aren't there. He placed around leave,
1:45:23
Speaker 4: then hires a law firm to conduct an inquiry. It's
1:45:27
Speaker 4: a gross misuse of resources. And the constituents deserve better.
1:45:33
Speaker 4: They deserve better. And then when we get to the
1:45:35
Speaker 4: crime discussion that you offered up with, this.
1:45:37
Speaker 11: Crime is an EBB and flow Brian.
1:45:39
Speaker 4: Of course, you go back and look ten years, five years,
1:45:42
Speaker 4: it's an evan flow. Different neighborhoods, different neighborhoods, gets hit,
1:45:45
Speaker 4: You manage it, you control it, you put programs, you
1:45:48
Speaker 4: put resources. Here's what gets me. There's fifty two communities
1:45:52
Speaker 4: in this city. The mayor didn't step up and say
1:45:56
Speaker 4: a word, didn't take actions until it hit the central
1:45:59
Speaker 4: Business district, which it's a shame it has, and there
1:46:02
Speaker 4: are plans and processes.
1:46:04
Speaker 11: To improve that.
1:46:05
Speaker 4: What about the other fifty one communities when he had
1:46:08
Speaker 4: an opportunity to step up and make a voice and
1:46:10
Speaker 4: make a point and try to do something silent? So
1:46:13
Speaker 4: who's he really a mayor for.
1:46:15
Speaker 1: It's not for the city, No, clearly not. And I
1:46:17
Speaker 1: mean I could go straight to the whole Hyde Park
1:46:19
Speaker 1: development project. He throws connected communities over every neighborhood without
1:46:23
Speaker 1: consulting any local neighborhood about its own personal self direction,
1:46:27
Speaker 1: then makes exceptions for well connected developers. He did it
1:46:29
Speaker 1: to bond Hill. But then again he doesn't care what
1:46:32
Speaker 1: the constituents say. They scream out loud, he ignores them.
1:46:35
Speaker 1: So I guess he's serving his own political interest in
1:46:37
Speaker 1: his own whim. But back to the retention to this
1:46:39
Speaker 1: law firm. If you read the retention letter or the
1:46:42
Speaker 1: information that came out about it, they've been hired to
1:46:45
Speaker 1: look at her record. It sounds to me like to
1:46:49
Speaker 1: find some justification letter go. He didn't say out loud
1:46:53
Speaker 1: anything that she did to justify him placing your own
1:46:56
Speaker 1: administrative leave in the first place. So now he's got
1:46:59
Speaker 1: a search committee out there looking for something in a
1:47:00
Speaker 1: record so he can come back later and fill in
1:47:02
Speaker 1: the blank. Oh yeah, by the way, back in October,
1:47:06
Speaker 1: the reason I put her on in Australia's leads because
1:47:08
Speaker 1: this thing she did two years ago, which isn't even
1:47:11
Speaker 1: on her record right now.
1:47:12
Speaker 2: And it's interesting that you know, five eight nine days
1:47:15
Speaker 2: before this came about, he stated to my brother that
1:47:20
Speaker 2: there was no light between them, that he had full
1:47:24
Speaker 2: confidence and faith and confidence in her. What happened, it
1:47:27
Speaker 2: wasn't Terry's performance and it's asked backwards. Anybody that pays
1:47:32
Speaker 2: attention or follows the treatment of people, or anybody's been
1:47:36
Speaker 2: in a management position, and those who have been reporting
1:47:39
Speaker 2: to management positions, they realize that this is backwards and
1:47:43
Speaker 2: will allow what they do to the process to go forward.
1:47:48
Speaker 2: I don't see them finding anything in Terry's history that
1:47:50
Speaker 2: would be questionable to anybody, and we'll see what Terry's
1:47:54
Speaker 2: attorney does with it from there. But it's asked backwards.
1:47:57
Speaker 2: There's no better way to say it.
1:47:59
Speaker 1: Well, and they've been down this road before. You made
1:48:01
Speaker 1: mentioned briefly of the fire department. We all know what
1:48:03
Speaker 1: happened to Michael Washington. Michael Washington's going to get a big,
1:48:07
Speaker 1: fat paycheck complements of the city taxpayers as a consequence
1:48:10
Speaker 1: of him being terminated without cause. This sounds like lining
1:48:14
Speaker 1: up for number two. They are already demonstrably incompetent in
1:48:17
Speaker 1: the treatment of him. Looks like let's gear up for
1:48:20
Speaker 1: another big check.
1:48:21
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously I can't speak on the check, I
1:48:23
Speaker 4: can't speak on the ligation, but I will say what
1:48:30
Speaker 4: they're doing is wrong, it's out of line, it's inhumane,
1:48:36
Speaker 4: and it's a combination of the mayor and the manager.
1:48:38
Speaker 11: And for the mayor to set back and act as
1:48:40
Speaker 11: if he doesn't.
1:48:41
Speaker 2: Have an influence on this or some involvement in this
1:48:44
Speaker 2: is a blatant lie to his constituents.
1:48:46
Speaker 1: Blatant lied to his constituents. In studio, retired Captain russ Neville,
1:48:50
Speaker 1: after a story curis insign police Department from an amazing
1:48:54
Speaker 1: law enforcement family. Will continue talking about this issue that
1:48:57
Speaker 1: we all can say something about because guess what, the
1:49:00
Speaker 1: elections next Tuesday, and you do have an opportunity to vote.
1:49:02
Speaker 1: And remember, the definition of stupidity is doing the same
1:49:04
Speaker 1: thing over and over again expecting a different result. Forty
1:49:07
Speaker 1: years worth here in the city of Cincinnati. How are
1:49:09
Speaker 1: your roads parenthetically eight to fifteen station, it's eight nineteen
1:49:16
Speaker 1: fifty five ker CD talk station. Yes, my conversation with
1:49:19
Speaker 1: russ Neville continues even off air. That was where my
1:49:21
Speaker 1: chuckles were coming from. Russ Neville, retired Captain of the
1:49:24
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Police Department thirty four years. He said, that's just
1:49:28
Speaker 1: absolutely amazing, all right, insofar as police chief. Theji's concerned again,
1:49:33
Speaker 1: your sister and you're well connected with this issue because
1:49:37
Speaker 1: of some family reasons. But simply because and by virtue
1:49:40
Speaker 1: of your being a police officer for so long, you
1:49:42
Speaker 1: know exactly how all of this works. Now, there was
1:49:45
Speaker 1: a day prior to Issue five being passed where the collective,
1:49:50
Speaker 1: the police officers themselves chose I believe, from among their
1:49:53
Speaker 1: own ranks who they wanted elevated a police chief. I
1:49:55
Speaker 1: think the last person to have that was a chief Striker, correct,
1:50:00
Speaker 1: And I guess politics being what it is, Striker was
1:50:03
Speaker 1: immune from being let go for any reason whatsoever because
1:50:06
Speaker 1: he was subject to the union benefits in the corrective
1:50:08
Speaker 1: bargaining agreement. So they changed the law. Issue five was
1:50:11
Speaker 1: passed that gives exclusive control over the hiring and firing
1:50:14
Speaker 1: of the fire chief and police chief to the city
1:50:17
Speaker 1: manager and the mayor. Not even council gets to vote
1:50:20
Speaker 1: on this.
1:50:20
Speaker 4: That's correct, So at least the manager. I don't know
1:50:24
Speaker 4: what influence the mayor has, but by Issue five, if
1:50:27
Speaker 4: I understand correctly, it's the city managers responsibilit higher well,
1:50:30
Speaker 4: and I.
1:50:30
Speaker 1: Make the argument because the manager is at the behest
1:50:32
Speaker 1: of the mayor, then we all know who's ultimately pulling
1:50:34
Speaker 1: the strings here or operating the puppet, as the case
1:50:38
Speaker 1: may be. FOP nod. So something seems to me out
1:50:42
Speaker 1: of this very politicized thing that's going on to your sister,
1:50:48
Speaker 1: the political nature of her being well put on administrative leave,
1:50:53
Speaker 1: the wise of areforce, what led to this when things
1:50:55
Speaker 1: seem to be so swimmingly wonderful, but with their relationship
1:51:00
Speaker 1: need to be readdressed. Now. I thought Christopher Smithman had
1:51:02
Speaker 1: a great idea, and I know that you've I think
1:51:06
Speaker 1: you're in line at least along in a similar path
1:51:08
Speaker 1: of Christopher's idea. Get the council members involved on some level.
1:51:11
Speaker 1: What's your proposal? What do you think needs to be.
1:51:13
Speaker 4: Now one hundred percent agree with what both Kenny Kober,
1:51:17
Speaker 4: the FOP president, and Chris Smithman wisely have shared in
1:51:21
Speaker 4: some fashion. The authority to hire and or fire or
1:51:25
Speaker 4: remove for whatever reason for just cause should be somehow
1:51:29
Speaker 4: placed with council, such as a seven of nine or
1:51:32
Speaker 4: a unanimous voute, not a simple majority where you get
1:51:36
Speaker 4: five to four. It should be a stronger. You're talking
1:51:38
Speaker 4: about people's livelihood. You're talking about what impacts years of
1:51:41
Speaker 4: efforts and programs and planning and resourcing. So it needs
1:51:45
Speaker 4: to be a much deeper thought. And I think it
1:51:48
Speaker 4: has to go in front of a body much larger
1:51:50
Speaker 4: than an individual.
1:51:51
Speaker 1: Well, you said more than five, because of course I
1:51:55
Speaker 1: remember Gang of five like it was yesterday. So you
1:51:57
Speaker 1: can get some nefarious activity going on behind the scenes,
1:52:00
Speaker 1: set up firing. That's correct, easy to accomplish. Most notably,
1:52:04
Speaker 1: did you know that there's a vote next week? We
1:52:06
Speaker 1: get to vote on Tuesday and maybe change the administration.
1:52:08
Speaker 1: Most notably, since all of the current council members are Democrat,
1:52:11
Speaker 1: the likelihood of a uniform one lockstep vote is almost
1:52:15
Speaker 1: assured under the current circumstances. We really do need some
1:52:18
Speaker 1: different voices, Russ.
1:52:20
Speaker 4: One of the reasons, obviously, the primary reason that I
1:52:24
Speaker 4: come on and the family requests a voice is to
1:52:28
Speaker 4: defend and support Terry. The second is to discuss voting
1:52:33
Speaker 4: there is it's there's no simpler way to say it
1:52:37
Speaker 4: than the city needs new leadership, specifically at the mayor's position.
1:52:43
Speaker 4: Early votings on going, Brian. It's seven thirty seven thirty
1:52:47
Speaker 4: Monday through Friday. If you want to early vote, early vote,
1:52:50
Speaker 4: you've got time. It's open Saturday till four, open Sunday
1:52:54
Speaker 4: till five. Please take advantage of the early voting and
1:52:57
Speaker 4: a point I'd like to make is if you have
1:53:00
Speaker 4: voted in years for whatever reason, but you're registered, just
1:53:05
Speaker 4: to go to vote Hamilton County, Ohio dot org and
1:53:08
Speaker 4: see if you're still a registered and approved voter and
1:53:11
Speaker 4: go vote. Nothing will change, whether it be city or
1:53:16
Speaker 4: in the future county, but specifically, nothing will change city.
1:53:19
Speaker 4: If the people who think this is wrong, if the
1:53:22
Speaker 4: people who think this is in humane, or the people
1:53:25
Speaker 4: out there who hear what the mayor says and says
1:53:28
Speaker 4: that's not the kind of leader I want leading our city,
1:53:31
Speaker 4: please vote. And I'm specifically talking to to some degree,
1:53:35
Speaker 4: the West side of Cincinnati. I think the West side
1:53:38
Speaker 4: of Cincinnati has an opportunity.
1:53:39
Speaker 11: To protect themselves here.
1:53:41
Speaker 4: I think they've been excluded from politics for quite a
1:53:44
Speaker 4: few years. This is your chance to come out, make
1:53:46
Speaker 4: a vote, change leadership and have a voice and a
1:53:49
Speaker 4: seat at the table. In addition to the Hyde Parks
1:53:51
Speaker 4: and Mount Washington's and Mount Lookouts, absolutely all fifty two communities,
1:53:56
Speaker 4: but the fifteen on the West Side have been neglected.
1:53:58
Speaker 4: Brian and I am begging them to come out and
1:54:00
Speaker 4: make a vote.
1:54:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's time to retake the flag over on the
1:54:03
Speaker 1: West side, I believe. So Listen, I grew up on
1:54:07
Speaker 1: the West Side. I'm a delhesion by my roots man,
1:54:10
Speaker 1: and what has happened over the years to you know,
1:54:13
Speaker 1: Price Hill and Westwood, it's just deteriorated. And I'm not
1:54:19
Speaker 1: blaming any particular individual, but it seems to me that
1:54:21
Speaker 1: the West Side's sort of been the I don't know
1:54:24
Speaker 1: if I can put it this way, the Section eight,
1:54:26
Speaker 1: you know, relocation area. I know they rehabilitated and gentrified
1:54:31
Speaker 1: over the Rhine. A lot of former Over the Rhine
1:54:33
Speaker 1: residents can't afford to live there anymore. They had to
1:54:35
Speaker 1: go someplace. Don't know if that's an issue or not.
1:54:37
Speaker 1: I just know the West Side does not look like
1:54:39
Speaker 1: it did, say fifteen, even twenty years.
1:54:41
Speaker 4: And I'll even take it a step further. I do
1:54:43
Speaker 4: focus on the West Side. That's where we grew up
1:54:45
Speaker 4: and I grew up, and I think we have tremendous
1:54:47
Speaker 4: support there and I hope they come out and vote.
1:54:49
Speaker 4: Let's go back to fifty two communities in the city.
1:54:52
Speaker 11: They deserve better leadership.
1:54:54
Speaker 4: As they do, and the only way they're going to
1:54:56
Speaker 4: get is if they potentially step out of their comfort
1:54:59
Speaker 4: zone and vote different than historically have voted and give somebody,
1:55:03
Speaker 4: a group of people an opportunity to show more and
1:55:06
Speaker 4: better going forward for the city.
1:55:08
Speaker 1: Well, I believe Corey Bowman does have prioritization, correct. I
1:55:12
Speaker 1: know he is very anxious to get the roads resurfaced.
1:55:15
Speaker 1: He's very anxious to do a better analysis of the
1:55:18
Speaker 1: police department, support the police, get the contingent of police
1:55:21
Speaker 1: officers up to a full contingent. He would take the
1:55:24
Speaker 1: resources I think offered from the governor to get us
1:55:27
Speaker 1: to that contingent to see if that solves the crime
1:55:29
Speaker 1: problem we've got going on here. At least try it.
1:55:32
Speaker 1: Don't reimagine the police department. Just take up the resources
1:55:35
Speaker 1: that you got in front of us. Let's see what
1:55:36
Speaker 1: we can do.
1:55:37
Speaker 4: If you sit back now and you believe that things
1:55:41
Speaker 4: are good, consider voting the way you've been voting. If
1:55:45
Speaker 4: you think change needs to be either, don't vote for
1:55:49
Speaker 4: the current leadership when you go to vote for council
1:55:52
Speaker 4: meaning the mayor or I go back to come out
1:55:56
Speaker 4: of your comfort zone. Try something new and let's see
1:55:59
Speaker 4: what we can do.
1:56:00
Speaker 1: There will be another election down the road. Give them
1:56:03
Speaker 1: a shot. You may be surprised. Russ Neville. Thank you
1:56:06
Speaker 1: for your service to our community. Yeah, go ahead finish.
1:56:10
Speaker 11: If I could.
1:56:10
Speaker 4: I just want to give a Facebook name and an
1:56:14
Speaker 4: email if people are interested in following up.
1:56:17
Speaker 11: I Stand with.
1:56:18
Speaker 4: Police Chief Thiji is the Facebook page, and stand with
1:56:23
Speaker 4: chiefdig at gmail dot com. Stand with CHIEFDG at gmail
1:56:27
Speaker 4: dot com is an email that has been put out
1:56:30
Speaker 4: to help coordinate what we're attempting to do.
1:56:32
Speaker 1: Help out all you can and vote Russ Neville. Thank
1:56:36
Speaker 1: you for your service to the community. Thank your entire
1:56:38
Speaker 1: family for their service to our community, and of course
1:56:40
Speaker 1: your sister for ongoing at least efforts to serve the
1:56:43
Speaker 1: community while we have to deal with this current administration.
1:56:45
Speaker 1: Hopefully TikTok TikTok coming to an end eight twenty six
1:56:49
Speaker 1: right now, Judgentenopoltona coming up next. I hope you can
1:56:51
Speaker 1: stick around fifty five the talk station.
1:56:57
Speaker 4: Facing a cancer diagnosis can be overwhelmed.
1:57:00
Speaker 1: Andy won at the Lateral.
1:57:02
Speaker 8: If you go to our next guest house on Friday Halloween,
1:57:05
Speaker 8: not only will you get full sized Milky Ways and paydays,
1:57:10
Speaker 8: but also receive a pocket constitution signed by Congressman Thomas Mancy.
1:57:16
Speaker 8: It's the trick or treat trifecta. It doesn't get any better.
1:57:20
Speaker 8: The Judge's next Chuck Ingram on fifty five krc HE
1:57:24
Speaker 8: talks Station Ay thirty.
1:57:26
Speaker 1: Three to fifty one RCD Talks Station Happy Wednesday always
1:57:30
Speaker 1: made an extra special thing because Judge entered up Politano,
1:57:34
Speaker 1: to whom Chuck Ingram was referring, joins the program and
1:57:37
Speaker 1: welcome back here, honor. He's setting you up for disaster,
1:57:40
Speaker 1: Judge Polatana. Although because you live on a farm in
1:57:43
Speaker 1: New Jersey, I have this vision. I've never been to
1:57:45
Speaker 1: your place before. I don't know where it is, but
1:57:47
Speaker 1: I have this vision of this really really sort of
1:57:51
Speaker 1: not secluded, but like your nearest neighbors at least a
1:57:54
Speaker 1: mile or more away. And you've got this driveway that's
1:57:56
Speaker 1: about three hundred yards long. So to reach that full
1:58:00
Speaker 1: sized candy bar and get a pocket constitution with the signature,
1:58:04
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to make a hell of a journey.
1:58:05
Speaker 1: Welcome back here, correct.
1:58:07
Speaker 3: And I'm in New York and the farm is in
1:58:09
Speaker 3: New Jersey. I really thought that Ingram would mention the
1:58:14
Speaker 3: Bengals Jets game. I was waiting to hear, Oh God,
1:58:18
Speaker 3: sorry to raise a sore spot how good the Bengals
1:58:21
Speaker 3: loves to the worst team in football.
1:58:23
Speaker 1: Oh, we become used to that. We always snatched a
1:58:26
Speaker 1: defeat from the jaws of victory here in Cincinnati, your honor,
1:58:28
Speaker 1: we're just waiting for it to have it. I was
1:58:30
Speaker 1: so sad about that, because everybody in the crowd was
1:58:32
Speaker 1: so enthusiastic until the end of the third quarter and
1:58:35
Speaker 1: then just just fell off the rail. So anyhow, we're
1:58:39
Speaker 1: used to disappointment.
1:58:41
Speaker 3: Anyway, how are you. It's a pleasure to be with your.
1:58:43
Speaker 1: Brother, Always a pleasure to have you on. I'm always
1:58:44
Speaker 1: in a great move when you're on the program, sir.
1:58:46
Speaker 1: And I was actually in a total state of disbelief
1:58:52
Speaker 1: with your column, which I'm fortunate enough to get an
1:58:54
Speaker 1: early copy out comes out tonight at midnight. Jailed in
1:58:56
Speaker 1: America for free speech. I was not familiar with the
1:59:00
Speaker 1: subject matter that you got to, which you always did.
1:59:02
Speaker 1: Larry Buschard and what happened to him, I don't know
1:59:04
Speaker 1: how that flew underneath my radar, sir, but this in America,
1:59:07
Speaker 1: that this happened, is to say.
1:59:10
Speaker 3: A retired twenty four year police corrections officer, a veteran,
1:59:16
Speaker 3: not a fan of Charlie Kirk, or of the movement
1:59:20
Speaker 3: Charlie successfully created and advanced, and after Charlie's unfortunate, tragic,
1:59:29
Speaker 3: and horrific murder, posted a lot of incendiary statements critical
1:59:36
Speaker 3: of Charlie, critical of what this cop believed Charlie believed,
1:59:41
Speaker 3: and critical of the people who were mourning his death.
1:59:45
Speaker 3: In one of those postings, he quoted something President Trump
1:59:50
Speaker 3: said when he was candidate Trump totally out of context.
1:59:55
Speaker 3: So now I've got to go back to a year
1:59:57
Speaker 3: and a half ago, these horrible murders in a school
2:00:03
Speaker 3: in Perry County, Iowa. Trump is a candidate. Two days later,
2:00:08
Speaker 3: people are saying, you know, we got to clamp down
2:00:11
Speaker 3: on Second Amendment rights. And Trump made a very innocent,
2:00:14
Speaker 3: what I thought was poignant, excellent statement, we have to
2:00:18
Speaker 3: get over it, just like that. Now, this fellow Buschhart,
2:00:23
Speaker 3: in the middle of the kerfuffle that occurred after the
2:00:26
Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk murder, where people were losing their jobs, where
2:00:30
Speaker 3: foreign students were losing their visas, where people were being
2:00:36
Speaker 3: disciplined because of what they said about Charlie, this fella
2:00:41
Speaker 3: Buschhart posts Trump's statement, we got to get over it.
2:00:46
Speaker 3: He posts it. Remember the statement was made about Perry County, Iowa.
2:00:53
Speaker 3: He posts it in where he lives, which is Perry County, Tennessee.
2:01:00
Speaker 3: The local sheriff says, you're posting something about killing people
2:01:05
Speaker 3: in a school. You're threatening mass killings in the Perry
2:01:11
Speaker 3: County High School. We're going to arrest you. Now. There
2:01:14
Speaker 3: is simply no connection whatsoever between quoting something candidate Donald
2:01:20
Speaker 3: Trump said about a killing in Iowa in twenty twenty
2:01:24
Speaker 3: four and the death of Charlie Kirk. There's no connection whatsoever.
2:01:30
Speaker 3: How this sheriff's office sheriff, without an investigation, without an interrogation,
2:01:37
Speaker 3: without any evidence about the present of parent ability to
2:01:42
Speaker 3: do what he says this retired cop was threatening to do,
2:01:46
Speaker 3: locked him up, and then the court imposed a bail
2:01:50
Speaker 3: of two million dollars. This is a guy living on
2:01:53
Speaker 3: a pension, and when his lawyers asked to have the reduced,
2:02:01
Speaker 3: she the judge delayed their request for two months. This
2:02:05
Speaker 3: is some sort of a small town gimmick to impair
2:02:11
Speaker 3: this guy's First Amendment rights because he's an irritant and
2:02:14
Speaker 3: they don't like what he posts on the Facebook. They
2:02:17
Speaker 3: don't understand what he wrote. Guess what The First Amendment
2:02:20
Speaker 3: protects speech, even that which is absurd and unintelligible except
2:02:25
Speaker 3: to the speaker.
2:02:28
Speaker 1: Well, and that the statement that he quoted from Donald
2:02:32
Speaker 1: Trump eighteen months prior was not Donald Trump advocating for
2:02:36
Speaker 1: school shootings, right son.
2:02:39
Speaker 3: Donald Trump advocating for it's a tragedy. Let's turn the
2:02:43
Speaker 3: page a perfectly appropriate statement to make about the school
2:02:48
Speaker 3: shootings in Iowa and about the death of Charlie Kirk.
2:02:53
Speaker 3: So you have a sheriff here, popularly elected. You have
2:02:56
Speaker 3: a judge here, popularly elected. You have a base, a
2:03:00
Speaker 3: population base probably decidedly pro Kirk. And here is an
2:03:06
Speaker 3: opportunity for this sheriff and this judge to burnish their
2:03:09
Speaker 3: political credentials by locking somebody up because he exercised the
2:03:15
Speaker 3: freedom of speech. I had never heard of this guy.
2:03:18
Speaker 3: I had never heard of the sheriff. I never heard
2:03:20
Speaker 3: of Perry County, Tennessee, until I saw this in the intercept.
2:03:26
Speaker 3: A website checked it out. It's accurate, and decided I
2:03:30
Speaker 3: got to write about this because even in small town America,
2:03:35
Speaker 3: the freedom of speech can suffer.
2:03:37
Speaker 1: And Lord Almighty Judge inn of Paulitano, you're on all
2:03:41
Speaker 1: the time you're judging freedom podcast, you're on my show,
2:03:45
Speaker 1: You're on a multitude of different shows. You speak regularly.
2:03:47
Speaker 1: You have a free speech right. You know you can
2:03:49
Speaker 1: exercise it. But this case illustrates and so do I.
2:03:52
Speaker 1: There but for the grace of God, some corrupt public
2:03:55
Speaker 1: official who's got a bone to pick with you can
2:03:58
Speaker 1: just haul you off to jail and get a complicit
2:04:01
Speaker 1: judge to keep you in jail. You mentioned in the
2:04:03
Speaker 1: article what does it take fifteen minutes to do a
2:04:05
Speaker 1: bail hearing? They kicked this bail hearing off, effectively denying
2:04:09
Speaker 1: him of his liberty. Because what pensioner can come up
2:04:12
Speaker 1: with even ten percent of two million dollars? They stick
2:04:15
Speaker 1: them in jail and keep him there for a couple
2:04:17
Speaker 1: of months.
2:04:18
Speaker 3: How about the Eighth Amendment? Nor shall excessive bail be required?
2:04:23
Speaker 3: So in a case in which there's no evidence of violence,
2:04:26
Speaker 3: the guy has no criminal record, He as an excellent
2:04:29
Speaker 3: record as a police officer and corrections officer in that
2:04:32
Speaker 3: county for twenty four years. He lives off his pension
2:04:37
Speaker 3: and social security, and they're going to impose a bail
2:04:40
Speaker 3: of two million dollars as if he were a billionaire. Yeah,
2:04:44
Speaker 3: This just smacks of some sort of corruption, not necessarily
2:04:48
Speaker 3: financial corruption, but political corruption. And you know, my libertarian
2:04:55
Speaker 3: friends often say states rights, states rights, states rights, the
2:04:59
Speaker 3: states can be tyrants too. Yes, this is an example
2:05:02
Speaker 3: of it.
2:05:02
Speaker 1: Well, and I don't know a state constitution that doesn't
2:05:05
Speaker 1: have a First Amendment in it. All of them do.
2:05:07
Speaker 1: That's incorporated into it. And of course it applies the states,
2:05:10
Speaker 1: it applies to governments. This is key First Amendment grounds. Here,
2:05:14
Speaker 1: a government cannot deprive you of your freedom of speech.
2:05:17
Speaker 1: Now a business can. Going back to your point about
2:05:19
Speaker 1: people losing their jobs for posts about Charlie Kirk or
2:05:21
Speaker 1: really anything else. You can have your own speech practices
2:05:24
Speaker 1: in a private business that isn't funded by government or
2:05:27
Speaker 1: working at the behest of government. Sorry, that's the corporate rules,
2:05:30
Speaker 1: but not in the case of government or government entities.
2:05:33
Speaker 3: Correct. So you know there are some private entities like
2:05:37
Speaker 3: Princeton University, almost any university exactly as an example. They
2:05:43
Speaker 3: are bound by the Bill of Rights. They agreed to
2:05:46
Speaker 3: be bound by the Bill of Rights when they accepted
2:05:48
Speaker 3: the federal funds. So they can't discipline a student or
2:05:52
Speaker 3: a professor because of what the student or the professor,
2:05:54
Speaker 3: or an administrator, even a janitor said, but iHeartRadio News, Max,
2:06:00
Speaker 3: Fox News, CNN. If they don't like something that one
2:06:03
Speaker 3: of us says, what's happened to all of us, they
2:06:05
Speaker 3: could take us off air for a week, or even
2:06:08
Speaker 3: under certain circumstances, not pay us for a week. The
2:06:12
Speaker 3: government is not involved. We get it. We get it.
2:06:16
Speaker 3: The owner of a business can protect the business if
2:06:20
Speaker 3: he believes that an employee is adversely impairing the business.
2:06:26
Speaker 3: But the government cannot evaluate the content of speech and
2:06:31
Speaker 3: say I don't like what he said about Charlie Kirk.
2:06:34
Speaker 3: I don't like his use of Trump's language from one
2:06:37
Speaker 3: tragedy to another. I'm going to lock him up. Man.
2:06:40
Speaker 3: That is an indicator of authoritarianism and a rejection of
2:06:45
Speaker 3: basic constitutional values. I didn't mention the sheriff's name. I
2:06:49
Speaker 3: don't want to get involved with the guy. But Americans
2:06:52
Speaker 3: need to be wary of small people who have the
2:06:57
Speaker 3: power to.
2:06:59
Speaker 1: Impair your freedom. Amen, and we can leave it on
2:07:03
Speaker 1: that note, Judge, Editor Paul Tamo brilliant. I can't thank
2:07:07
Speaker 1: you enough for bringing this to my attention. I'm a Paul.
2:07:10
Speaker 1: I thought I was reading an article about the UK
2:07:12
Speaker 1: or Germany where they don't have a First Amendment, they
2:07:14
Speaker 1: arrest people for what they say all the time. This
2:07:16
Speaker 1: is the United States, this is Tennessee.
2:07:18
Speaker 3: For God's sake, and just to prove I'm a good guy,
2:07:22
Speaker 3: go Bengals.
2:07:23
Speaker 1: Well, thank you for that. It's like prayer. We could
2:07:25
Speaker 1: all use all we can get. Judge.
2:07:28
Speaker 3: Do they still have that Italian kid from New Jersey
2:07:30
Speaker 3: that they just traded for?
2:07:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah they did. It didn't work out so well
2:07:34
Speaker 1: for mister Flacko and he needs some help. Is a
2:07:37
Speaker 1: one man show, can't go tolone. It's a team. It's
2:07:40
Speaker 1: a team effort, and sometimes there isn't the effort necessary.
2:07:43
Speaker 1: Judge until as.
2:07:45
Speaker 3: Just self bunch and then the wife of Tom Brady said,
2:07:49
Speaker 3: after the Giants beat the Patriots in the for the
2:07:53
Speaker 3: second time in a row in the Super Bowl, my
2:07:55
Speaker 3: husband cannot both throw the blanket and blank ball and
2:07:59
Speaker 3: catch the blankety blank boll. You can fill in the
2:08:02
Speaker 3: blankety blank.
2:08:03
Speaker 1: I figured that one out. Judging freedom. Who's on today,
2:08:05
Speaker 1: Judge Ennita Polatano the Great.
2:08:08
Speaker 3: Scott Ridder at one o'clock this afternoon. How Ukraine is
2:08:13
Speaker 3: on its last legs even with all the money the
2:08:17
Speaker 3: Europeans and the Americans are spending there.
2:08:20
Speaker 1: Week after week after week, the story stays the same. Yes,
2:08:24
Speaker 1: Judge Napolitana, Next Wednesday, will do this again. God bless you,
2:08:27
Speaker 1: sir much, Love my friend. Eight forty four here fifty

Speaker 1: seven fifty eight hundred eight two three talk or a

Speaker 1: pound five fifty on AT and T phones. Thanks again.
2:08:48
Speaker 1: Earlier to cribbage Mike, my submarine or sub mariner friend,
2:08:51
Speaker 1: I looked it up. You can pronounce it either way.
2:08:53
Speaker 1: This is what was sub mariner, because well I like
2:08:55
Speaker 1: the Rolex submariner watch. But really, however you pronounce it,
2:08:57
Speaker 1: you called it an earlier. He was part of Honor
2:08:59
Speaker 1: flight yesterdays. He always is, and I just want to
2:09:02
Speaker 1: personally think, as I did earlier, I'm going to do
2:09:04
Speaker 1: it again. Everyone who showed up last night at CVG
2:09:08
Speaker 1: lots of allergy outbreaks, corning to Mike, who actually had
2:09:11
Speaker 1: one while he was giving me an update from the
2:09:13
Speaker 1: Honor Flight. So it's just a beautiful organization. And as
2:09:17
Speaker 1: he pointed out, a quarter of a million veterans have
2:09:19
Speaker 1: been flown to Washington, d C. From the multiple Honor
2:09:22
Speaker 1: Flight organizations that exist across this great land of ours.
2:09:25
Speaker 1: An illustration, another illustration, I might point out why this
2:09:30
Speaker 1: is a great land, so especially for those Vietnam veterans
2:09:33
Speaker 1: who were deprived of welcome home when they returned from
2:09:35
Speaker 1: their service to our country. And someone to call it.
2:09:38
Speaker 1: Speaking of calling in, we just had a caller call in.
2:09:40
Speaker 1: Wanted to be a reminder on where the next listener
2:09:42
Speaker 1: lunch is. It's next Wednesday, and I hope to see
2:09:44
Speaker 1: you there, and please, Dear God, can we celebrate, but
2:09:48
Speaker 1: we have something to celebrate next Wednesday. Open voting going
2:09:54
Speaker 1: on right now. We heard from uss Neville earlier reminding
2:09:56
Speaker 1: you of the residents of the city of Cincinnati, you
2:09:58
Speaker 1: do have a chance to change things. Could we celebrate that.
2:10:01
Speaker 1: Maybe High Grain Brewery the Brentwood location. Don't go to
2:10:05
Speaker 1: the other one. Go to Brentwood location of High Grain Brewery.
2:10:08
Speaker 1: And that's where we're going to be for listener lunch.
2:10:11
Speaker 1: I think we've been there before. Yes we have. So
2:10:13
Speaker 1: the Brentwood Location Food Drink Fellowship is what it's all
2:10:17
Speaker 1: about at listener lunch and again I just cannot wait
2:10:19
Speaker 1: and hopefully we will be in a celebratory mood. So
2:10:23
Speaker 1: I started out the program this morning on a tear
2:10:25
Speaker 1: about the establishment clause because California Governor Gavin Newsom, mister
2:10:31
Speaker 1: abortion on demand among everything else, now citing scripture because well,
2:10:35
Speaker 1: the Democrats won't open up the federal government. Yeah, the
2:10:39
Speaker 1: audacity of a Democrat to do this when you know
2:10:42
Speaker 1: asked he should have consulted the ACLU before he started
2:10:45
Speaker 1: citing scripture and support of government policy. First Amendment Establishment,
2:10:50
Speaker 1: cause there is no establishment of religion. Our founding fathers
2:10:53
Speaker 1: lived through that nonsense with the Church of England. We
2:10:58
Speaker 1: are not a theocracy, and somebody always come out you
2:11:03
Speaker 1: know we're we're a Christian nation. No, we are a
2:11:06
Speaker 1: nation that's majority Christian. You know what who I love
2:11:10
Speaker 1: as a politician, I love vivank Ramaswami. I hope to
2:11:14
Speaker 1: God speaking of prayer, he's an ex governor of the
2:11:17
Speaker 1: state of Ohio and the whey the stars are currently aligned,
2:11:19
Speaker 1: he is going to walk away with it, don't count
2:11:21
Speaker 1: on it will be talking a lot between now and
2:11:24
Speaker 1: next year about that. One. He's Hindu. Do I care?
2:11:29
Speaker 3: No?
2:11:30
Speaker 1: You know why I don't care. One. The guy's brilliant too.
2:11:33
Speaker 1: He's got awesome ideas for governing that have nothing to
2:11:37
Speaker 1: do with religion. Three. Most fundamentally, he can't make me
2:11:41
Speaker 1: become Hindu or become a Hindu worshiper or Hinduism follower
2:11:45
Speaker 1: of Hinduism. He's not an ability to do that. He
2:11:48
Speaker 1: can't make me. He the government does not have control
2:11:51
Speaker 1: over your religious destiny. So that I pivot over to
2:11:54
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom's preaching the teachings of Matthew Isaiah Lucan Proverbs
2:12:00
Speaker 1: to support his argument that the central of the core
2:12:03
Speaker 1: and central to what it government does is to align
2:12:06
Speaker 1: with God's will. Let me read the quote exactly. Feeding
2:12:09
Speaker 1: the poor is quote core and central to what it
2:12:12
Speaker 1: is to align with God's will. Yep, I'll give them
2:12:15
Speaker 1: a NodD on that God's will as fulfilled by those
2:12:23
Speaker 1: who are the Christian faith, not the government. Gavin, render
2:12:28
Speaker 1: unto Caesar what Caesar's do, but don't shoulder. Don't force
2:12:32
Speaker 1: Caesar to shoulder the responsibility of what you as a
2:12:34
Speaker 1: Christian person are supposed to be doing. That's care and
2:12:37
Speaker 1: feeding and helping those and attending to those that are
2:12:39
Speaker 1: truly in need. That's the way it's supposed to work.
2:12:44
Speaker 1: It's not a suggestion in the Old and New Testament.
2:12:46
Speaker 1: These guys need to stop the BS and Washington. They're
2:12:49
Speaker 1: sitting there in their prayer breakfast. Maybe they got an
2:12:51
Speaker 1: edited version of President Donald Trump's Bible and they edit
2:12:54
Speaker 1: out all of that, edited all of that out. Cruelty
2:12:57
Speaker 1: is the policy. Huh, well, I suppose that's what happens
2:13:02
Speaker 1: when you turn the keys over to Christian obligations and
2:13:05
Speaker 1: hand it to the government. The government, not being Christian,
2:13:09
Speaker 1: does not necessarily have to follow the proposition to the
2:13:12
Speaker 1: tenets of Christianity, nor is it allowed to. I know
2:13:18
Speaker 1: this situation is complicated and painful, but you know, from
2:13:21
Speaker 1: the people who demonize religion on a regular basis and
2:13:24
Speaker 1: call you an idiot for believing in a higher power,
2:13:27
Speaker 1: what do you believe in the flying spaghetti monster as well?
2:13:32
Speaker 1: Now going to use that to try to guilt you
2:13:34
Speaker 1: into opening the governor back up because they insist on
2:13:38
Speaker 1: supplements for Obamacare. Maybe if Obamacare had been designed better
2:13:47
Speaker 1: the premiums wouldn't be saidam high. It's the insurer of
2:13:50
Speaker 1: last resort for medicine. When you have all the people
2:13:52
Speaker 1: join one insurance product and all of them have come
2:13:55
Speaker 1: to the insurance product with pre existing conditions, you're going
2:13:58
Speaker 1: to have an overwhelmingly expensive system to support and prop up.
2:14:02
Speaker 1: That's exactly what Obamacare is. So maybe the right Christian
2:14:07
