  Speaker 1: De talk station, oh Man, fifty five KRCD TALKSIC five
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: of five on this Tuesday morning, Wow, April of fourteenth,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: One day away, baby, one day away, little tax day.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Get those checks ready, send them off to the I
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: R S. Ah Man, I have a feeling that that
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: is in my little yard work. And then a little
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: little homage, little little tribute to the I R S
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: going out a little bit later on today. Ah. So
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: that's where I'm that interesting, little, interesting little piece of
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: news there at the top of the hour. In case
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: he didn't catch it. By the way, I'm Dan carrollin
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: for Brian Thomas. Brian will be back tomorrow. But Joe
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Strecker is here running as he always does the big
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: board there in the fifty five krc command center. So
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: when you call in this morning, five one, three seven,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: make sure you say hello to Joe, because this show
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: would not be on the air but for him. Uh, Andrew,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I was just in. I was just talking to Joe
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: a second ago, and I heard that little piece of
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: news at the top of the hour. And if I
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: heard it correctly, the city of Cincinnati has, at least
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: according to WCPO, which I'm looking at their website right now.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I don't see anything on this that the city has
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: hired another law firm. I guess this time a bigger
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: law firm, national law firm, to again take a look
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: at the I guess the leadership skills the practices of
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: police Chief Teresa Thiji. This in the wake of the
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: meeting they had last week where she was brought before
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the city manager to explain herself. I could go on
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: at length about the absurdity of that. I don't know
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: why I don't see anything about I've seen. I was
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: in just I mean less than an hour ago. I
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: was looking at the Inquirer website. They haven't seen anything
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: on that. I was looking at some of the other websites.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything on it yet. But that's what
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: WCPO is apparently saying. I don't see anything on their
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: website about it. So we will be looking into that.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Joe Strecker has multiple contacts that stay on top of
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: things that are happening in and around Cincinnati, so I'm
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: sure the inquiries will be going out at some point,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: So stay tuned as we look to find out more
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: about that. Notion that it was interesting though, because I
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: was looking at the w CPO website and I saw
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: a headline here about Swallwell and the sexual misconduct allegations,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: and I gave this piece a quick read and as
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I read this, I see one thing that is omitted
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: in this. And I actually heard this again on another
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: newscast as I was driving in here this morning, again
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: from ABC News, and they did a piece a section
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: about thirty five seconds on Swallwell did not mention that
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: he was a Democrat. I read this piece on the
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: WCPO website. The word democrat is nowhere in this piece.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: ABC News did a did let me see ABC News,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: and my buddy Curtis House posted this on NewsBusters ABC. Monday,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: ABC's Good Morning America featured a full story on Eric
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Swalwell dropping out of the gubernatorial race in California, the
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: entire piece and that you had an intro from Stephanopoulos
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: and then they had their their story with the reporter
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: there two minutes and thirty four seconds. Joe, how many
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: times do you think they mentioned this swallwe was a Democrat?
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Zero times? And is it because there's a there? It's
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: and it's not just Swalwell, who is who is leaving
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Congress or has announced he is going to resign from Congress.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: This other guy, Tony Gonzalez. And I'll admit I don't
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: know a lot about Tony Gonzalez, Texas Republican says he's
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: going to file for his retirement from Congress. I guess
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: he admitted he had an affair with a former staffer
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: who committed suicide last year. So I guess Gonzalez is
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: getting his you know, the home version of the game.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I guess he's going to get whatever pension and health
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: benefits accrued to him. So he'll get I guess I'll
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: get all that good stuff. And and he'll you know,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: pack up shop and leave, and and and the Gonzales story.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: As I was listening to the radio this morning, the
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Gonzales story came on right after the Swalwell story. And
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the first thing they said, Texas Republican Representative Tony Gonzalez,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: not one mention of Swalwell being a Democrat. Not one. Now,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: that is not to say that all of the national
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: media is doing that, but this happens time and time again.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: And then according to the The Federalist website, they say
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: they are saying that the corporate press has been complicit
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: in this as well. Uh Swalwell announced he is suspending
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: his bid for governor after several women came forward alleging
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: sexual misconduct. Brian Stettler, or Stelter, I should say, said
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Swalwell ending his bid is, among other things, a testament
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: to the power of investigative reporting. Yes, yes, indeed, the
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: dam broke after the San Francisco Chronicle reported an allegation
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: made by a former staffer who accused Swalwell as sexual assault.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: CNN released a follow up report that only provided additional
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: details of the alleged assault, but also included more alleged victims.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Swalwell has denied the claims. Nonetheless, several senior staffers on
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Swalwell's campaign released a joint statement calling the alleged behavior abhorrent,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: beneath the dignity of those serving in public office. Dignity
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: and people serving in public office. You could probably do
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: a whole show on that notion. Let me see, the
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: allegations were not just uncovered or recently discovered. Self described
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: East Bay political journalist Steve Tavares said that numerous officials
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: knew about the allegations against Swalwell for more than a decade.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I've covered Eric Swalwell since he was a member of
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: the Dublin City Council shortly after being elected to Congress
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen. His behavior towards women was known by
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: all levels of our local government and the Alameda County
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Democrat Party. Tavaris he tried repeatedly to get stories out,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: but they alleged victims also chose not to speak out
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: so much like the Harvey Weinstein story. After that, of
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: course busted wide open, we heard numerous reports of how
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: those in the Weinstein circle, and these are the elites
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: of the elites, right, we're talking about the Operahs of
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: the world, the Obamas, all that you know. Of course,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: you know he was a producer of all these movies.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: It's amazing how I watched these some some movies and
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: movies that go back to the nineties in the early
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: two thousands, and it's amazing how many you see executive
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: producer pop up and it's Harvey Weinstein. How many movies
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: he was involved in, and so all these Hollywood types
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: knew that there was all this shadiness that was connected
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: to him, didn't say a thing for years and years
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: and years, and apparently the same thing was Wallwell. Those
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: who knew him, at least in the local Democrat Party
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: knew what kind of guy he was, and this never
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: got out. So he's gone. He's stepping away from Congress
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and that and that's good. Look innocent until proven guilty,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: I say, innocent until proven guilty. But in a political sense,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I think he's finished. The Nancy Pelosi's of the world,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the Chuck Schumers of the world, those who call the shots,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: the upper echelons of the Democrat Party have decided that
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: this is the best thing for the party, for the agenda,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: for Swallow. They look, do you think do they care
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: that Swalwell may have abused people women that work for
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: him in this way? I don't think so, I really don't.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Is this what's best for them and the party and
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the agenda? In a political sense, I think it is.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: And that is the overriding factor of why Swalwell finds
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: himself the Democrat congressman from California. I'll say, he's a
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Democrat congressman from California. You got you gotta dig deep,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: gotta dig deep to find that in the news. So
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: just do yourself as listen, just listen to the newscast
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: as you go throughout the day today, and see how
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: many times they mentioned Democrats Democrat Congressman from California Swallwell,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: and if they do mention Democrat. I did hear one
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: one story where they talked about Swallwell, and then a
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: couple of sentences later it was well, democrats have been,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: you know, rallying to to get him to step down.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: So they did mention Democrats, but it was not adjacent
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: to the name. That's a little separation there, so maybe
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: you don't connect it to it's how it works. But
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: you know, look, this is a smart audience. I don't
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: need to tell you that you know those things, but
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: just to you know, do yourself see if I'm right
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: about that. Maybe I'm wrong. I could be wrong. We
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: got to get talk about the weather a little bit,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: very little, little brisk, nice and cool as you step
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: out this morning, and it could be a warm day head.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: We will see see what Jennifer Ketchmark from five five
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: said Fox Channel nine w CPO has and we will
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: roll on til nine o'clock this morning. Dan Carolyn for
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Brian Thomas on fifty five KRC the talk station right
• 12:28

• 12:46
  Speaker 1: is the Brian Thomas audience. And let's see what Jeff
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: has on his mind this morning. Jeff, you're on fifty
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: five KRC. What's up?
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Dan, and God bless you for covering for Brian.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm always glad to be here.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Here, quick comment and question. What's up with all these
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: TV commercials from the Libertarian Party? They are now identifying
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: as free party individualists after eight.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Years free party?
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: I know, and I know Brian is a libertarian.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, he claims that quite often. I'm trying, I'm
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: trying to are these commercials running on local TV?
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir, I'm.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Trying to think if I've seen one of them. I
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: don't know that I have. Are they Are they endorsing
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: a particular candidate or just in general.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: They're identifying as the Libertarian Party. Maybe they're leftover tea
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Party consumers.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Well, Jeff, I wish I could, I wish I could
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: comment on this thing in an intelligent way, but I
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: do not think I have seen such commercials, but I
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: will make an effort to to look at them and
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: open it on them when the when the time.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Comes, they're out there, my friend. Thank you.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Thank you, Jeff appreciate it. Yeah, I
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: have not seen those commercials. New York Post has just
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: some great stuff this morning, and one of them is
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: talking about Swalwell and the Post that the editorial board
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: rights that Swallwell finally quit Congress on Monday amid actations
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: of rape and sexual abuse. But the larger scandal is
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: how long he got away with it. So this piggyback's
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: on the piece I was just talking about. Fellow Democrats
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: kept mum for years though his sleazy behavior towards women
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: has reportedly been long known. Nor did the left leaning
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: media in California or Washington investigate the rumors even after
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: he NotI notoriously fell for a Chinese honeypot agent that
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: was the fang Fang thing. Of course, Dems plainly only
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: turned on Swalwell in a bid to thin the field
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: in California's governor's race, where two Republicans now lead the
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: non partisan jungle primary and so might lock out the
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: donkeys in the November runoff. Swalwell denied the allegations, but
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: suspended his campaign Sunday and left Congress a day later.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Yet the accusations involve events that go back years. If
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: his slimy conduct was an open secret, why didn't Dems,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: champions of the hashtag me too movement step up sooner?
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: And as we talked about yesterday, when it came to
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: all the me too stuff, Swalwell was right there championing
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: this cause, especially as it relates to Kavanaugh. They said,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: bup gus a Swallowell ran for Congress seven times, let
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: him play a key role in the Trump impeachment proceedings.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Went radio silent when he got caught as the target
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: of a Chinese spy honeypot. Nor did they voice any
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: qualms even when he ran for president in twenty nineteen.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: I don't remember that, Joe. Do you remember him being
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: in the Democrat field in the Democrat primary in twenty nineteen?
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Maybe he was for a short time. What a joke?
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Back then, of course, he was a reliable Trump hating
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: partisan Democrat. Then eight Democrats wound up in a scrum
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: for a governor's race, not only opening the door to
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: a Republican versus Republican general election, but also embarrassing the
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: state's diversity obsessed elites because top candidates were well, they
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: were all white. Oh Man uh Swalwell was a top
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Democrat with twelve percent of support. Turns out the insiders
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: knew exactly how to force him out. And I saw
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: a piece earlier today Joe whose name do you think
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: is being floated to step into the governor's race there
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: in California to sort of save the day. Kamala Harris.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, I mean, you know, she was so good
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: running as you know, when she had stepped in for
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden running for president. This is a role she
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: has fulfilled before. That would be that would be an
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: absolute joke. Can I don't know, maybe the people of
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: California would elect someone like Kamala Harris. I don't think she.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: I think you know, she's definitely She was at that
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Al Sharpton Al Sharpton event last week and she of
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: course was hinting around that she may run for president again.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Hasn't decided yet. Oh the other drama. There's so much drama,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: which she'll let people know in due time. I do
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: not see her going for the governorship in California, unless,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: of course, they make it worth her while five twenty six,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: fifty five KRC, the talk station two.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: That's the number of people who take the stairs.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: I could listen to this for a little while.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: Cod is not so strong, you know, I.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Don't know, Joe Strecker. When you do stuff like this
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: makes me want to be in an FMDJ again. I
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: never worked at a rock station, though, played some country
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: hits overnight a couple of different Rysdeo stations in town.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: That was a long time ago, my friends. But I'm
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: always glad to be here at fifty five KRC talking
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: to people like Tom. Tom, you're up early this morning.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: What's going on?
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the same as every other morning, But thank
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: you very much. Just heading to work. I thought i'd
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: throw my two cents in, please do Did what happened

• 19:31
  Speaker 4: going right this summer.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: That it seems that's the way it's been happening lately.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: It seems like winter came and boom, we flipped a
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: switch and we were in the deep freeze there. You know,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: my my I don't know about you, but my my
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: electric bill shot through the roof and I just I
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: just I'm just asking for a little give me. Let
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: me tell you, have my air conditioner take a little
• 19:53

  Speaker 1: enjoying this time right now because I don't have I
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: turned the heater off, the air conditioners not on, the
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: windows are open at the house. I would like this
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: to go on for another month or so.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: It would be great as long as you get the
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: neighbors to cooperate and don't do anything silly where you've
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: got to close the house up because of all the
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: smoke or smell or whatever. You know, some of these
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: people they start lighting fires or they start cranking up
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: old engines or some craft like that. So yeah, yeah,
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: it's uh, especially in the morning, it's pretty nice.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's nice to step out this morning. So
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: this morning's not bad.

• 20:38
  Speaker 1: But h I appreciate it.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, the uh, this whole uh political thing. And
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: of course this goes on both sides of the aisle, uh,
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: with these scandals and and and the corruption and the
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: power plays and yeah, it's it's not only hard to
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: find good people to run for office, it's even more
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: difficult to get good people to run for office. Nobody
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: you mentioned how the the people out in California running
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: for governor, they're all they're all white people. You can't
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: make people run for office. May I guess maybe you could,
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: but you've got to have some dirt on him to
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: do that. And do you really want those people in there?
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: But you got to deal with the candidates that that
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: sign their name and say hey, I want to run
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: and and uh and hopefully you get to find some
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: people somewhere that have at least a motivation that is
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: that is somewhat decent, you know, trying to help and
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: not trying to just enrich themselves because you can. I
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: guess you you. I'm sure you remember that the old
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: Eddie Murphy movie from back in the day, the Distinguished Gentleman,
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: and uh, he he had to have the same name
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: or use the same name as a as a congressman
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: from Florida and got himself elected and it was all
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: a scam. But then he realized, wow, this place is terrible.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: I mean, maybe maybe we should do something different here.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: So of course that's a movie, that's fantasy land.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Well, you know what you're what you're talking about, though,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: is it? It's it's such a shame because it seems
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: like it is so much par for the course. And
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: then when you encounter a politician or someone who's gone
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: to Washington, or someone who's in that position of authority,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: who doesn't seek the corruption, who doesn't seek to enrich themselves,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: who tries to play it down the middle, it seems
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: like those are the individuals who are so few and
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: far between, and it seems like everyone who gets in
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: the politics has a motive to look out for what
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: they wind up looking out for themselves first and looking
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: out for the people that they represent. Then you know
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: that that comes somewhere later down the line, and it's
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: just it's it's it's a shame that that's the sort
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: of class of individual that politics seems to attract.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I totally agree. And and you know, I
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: think one of the biggest things that caused people to
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: hate Trump, and especially you're talking about people on his
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: side of the aisle, is that he wasn't trying to
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: get himself rich. He came in, he was already rich.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: And if you're not subject to temptation or greed or whatever,
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: bribery's not going to work on you. You're not really
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: useful to the people in power in whatever government level,
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: but especially Washington DC. Yeow's that's a shameful part of it.
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: They're looking for people that they can control and manipulate
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: and get to vote on their side. We need more votes.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: Who's what can we do with this guy? He's over
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: here in Idaho and nobody knows who he is. I mean,
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: how many congressmen do we not even hear their names ever,
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: if you don't live in their district, because they're just
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: they just got them lined up to vote. And all
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: these two hundred and eighteen to two hundred and sixteen votes.
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: I mean, some of these people we've never heard of
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: who they are. They're not they're not named, but they're votes.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: No, you're you're you're absolutely right about that. There there's uh,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: there's far too many politicians who do go to Washington,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: and they just simply uh, fall in line with what
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: what what either party leadership demands correct, and they they
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: coast along and being a reliable apparatric for the party.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: And they before you know it, you see someone's name
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: you don't even recognize. Oh no, they've served nine terms
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: in the you know, in the in the in the House,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: and or six terms in the Senate or something like that,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: and you're like, I've never heard of this person before.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: So we're we're operating, if we're operating a political party,
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: based on how useful this person could be to us
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: to get our agenda through, and we really don't care
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: about their character until it becomes a liability. That's a problem.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: That's a that's a problem with this party, especially especially
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: not totally, but especially the Democrat Party. They're all a
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: bunch of sleeves ball as far as I'm concerned. So
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: as I tell everybody, don't.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Bug Democrat Tom words to live by right there, And
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: with that, we got to get to a quick break
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: five one three Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas, fifty five
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: krc V talk station.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: You're one stop for advertising called eight four to four.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Fifty five krc DE talk station five forty on this
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Tuesday morning almost said Monday morning, Tuesday morning, got to
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: probably little golf yesterday. That was fun out at Hickory
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Woods out there in the Milford Lenchester area. I think,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: I think, I think it's Milford there, but golf course
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: was in great shape, had a good time, and uh,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: nice folks out there at Hickory Woods. I am definitely
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: going back there. Let's see. These are the kind of
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: headline that I want to see. I need to see
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: more headlines like this, and I believe that. I believe
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: that the Senate is out right now. They're coming back
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: though maybe tomorrow or the next day, I'm not sure,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: but they'll be back before long. But anyway, in any case,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: two different headlines here, one from Fox News. Senate Republicans
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: race to fund ICE, CBP, customs and Border patrol without
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Democrats As the shutdown drags on, Trump said on True
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Social that left Democrats will try and stop the bill up.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Republicans don't need their votes. Senate Republicans are moving fast
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: for funding for immigration enforcement without any Democrats support. As
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: a partial Department of Homeland Security shutdown stretches into its
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: second month, the Upper Chamber returns to Washington, DC on Monday,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: so I guess that is this coming still a whole
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: other week. I guess that. Let me see when was this? No,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: this was published yesterday, so it's gonna be Monday next week.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: They returned to the DC on Monday. The GOP already
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: has its plan in motion, so that is good. That
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: is good. With Trump's blessing, they're using the budget reconciliation
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: process to front load funding for immigration enforcement for the
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: remainder of the presidency. Let me see if it says
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: anything in here about TSA agents, Joe, I guess the
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: TSA agents are still not being paid, is that right? Yeah?
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: I don't see anything in here. It talks about the
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: DHS shutdown, so maybe they're going to fund all of DHS.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: But this specifically talks me here we go, let me
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: see what this says here. Barasso urged Johnson to pass
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: the bill quickly to fund the rest of DHS, including
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: the Transportation Security Administration. So yes, they are working on
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: a bill. And apparently there has been some work going
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: on why they've been out of session, or at least
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: some communications going on for these Republican leaders to feel
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: bold enough to come out and suggest that as soon
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: as they get back in, they're going to force this
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: bill through and fund Department of Homeland Security as soon
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: as they get back. Now, why they couldn't do this
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: before they left, I don't know, But these are the
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: kind of headlines that this is the kind oft I've
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: been railing against this stuff ever since it reared its
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: ugly head. So we have that, and then we have
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: this headline from the Federalist GOP Senators nuke the filibuster,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: pass the Save America Act. To save the Save America Act,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Republican controlled Senate must blow up the filibuster, two conservative
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: senators tell the Federalist. The very thought makes most members
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: of the Senate GOP conference week in the knees, fearing
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: what Democrats would do without the iron line of a
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: sixty vote threshold to move legislation forward. Rick Scott of
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Florida Ron Johnson of Wisconsin are not in that camp.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: So at least you've got two senators up there who
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: are saying you got to go big or go home.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Say the Republican saving election reform package is worth nuking
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: the silent filibuster to get this done, Congress returns next
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: week after its extended spring break. Absolutely shameful that they
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: they did that at this time. So these are the
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: kind of headlines. I want to see more of this stuff.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: I want to see more boldness. I want to see
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: more Republicans not being afraid to come out, talk to
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: the media and talk about what needs to be done.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: More Americans need to understand this, and they have been
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: fiddling around with this for far too long. So when
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: I see headlines like this, and you've got who is
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: this barrasso? I think that was that was on with
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Harris Faulkner talking about this on Fox News. And now
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: you've got a couple of senators talking to the Federalist
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: talking about nuke in the filibuster. Let's go, chop chop.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: It's been sitting around for far too long with this
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: not happening. And look, massive action is going to be
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: needed if the Republicans are going to have any chance
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: of holding onto the House and Senate in these midterm elections.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Fifty five KRC the Talk.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: Station got something to say.
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: Well, see the talk station. Fifty five KRC the Talk Station.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: I saw the headlines on this yesterday about Trump believing
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: this AI. I don't know if you would call it
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: a photo or an AI image AI artificial intelligence. Joe,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: did you see this, the AI image of Trump where
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: he's placing his hand on the head of a man
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: who I don't know what's wrong with the guy, but
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: he's laying there and it's like, you know, he's got
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: light in his left hand, placing his right hand on
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: this gentleman's head. Other people around looking up to him.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: It's it's like a christ like figure. I guess you
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: could say, obviously Trump did not create this. Someone did,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: and I don't know if he. I guess he. I
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: guess he reposted this, put it out there, wound up
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: deleting the image. And the way this has written it
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: depicts him is Jesus Christ. I don't know if it
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: depicts him as Jesus Christ, but that's the way a
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: lot of people are looking at it, even if it does.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: And I was seeing some postings yesterday about this that
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Trump has now lost every single Catholic voter because of
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: this image. And the thing that bothers me about this
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: is I don't know how stuff like this winds up
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: in the orbit of the president of the United States.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: The guy has some really big fish to fry. He's
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: got a lot of stuff on his plate. Why this
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: even makes it to his eyeballs is just beyond me.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: If someone creates an image like this and puts it
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: out there, then then so be it. I was brought
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: up Catholic. I'm not offended by this image at all.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: It takes I mean, I guess my thin and my
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: skin is pretty thick. Takes a lot more than this
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: image to offend me. I don't think for one moment
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump considers himself to be a christ like figure.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: The way it's it's flattering, it's it's a good image,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: a good likeness of Trump. But these kind of unforced errors.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: And then Riley Gaines apparently weighed in on this and
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: she didn't care for the image. Let me see if
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: I can find the quote here, let me see. I
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: don't see, but anyway, he Riley Gains said something about
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: out that she didn't care for this image and Trump
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: taking it off of a true social media and then
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Trump responded back to her saying, you know, I don't
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: listen to Riley Gaines. I'm not a big fan. Which
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: it's stupid Trump should It's just for those of us
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: who support Trump. When he gets himself tangled up in
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: stuff like this, it's just so uncalled for. I wish
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: he wouldn't have done it as a Catholic. I'm not
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: offended by this. I think Catholics have a sense of humor.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: I think I look at this image and I think
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: to myself, I've seen similar things in the past that
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: depict other people in situations like this. I don't think
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: it's anything new. So I wish you look. Riley Gaines
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: has been to the White House multiple times supporting Trump
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: on the whole notion of getting men out of women's sports.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: She has been an absolute champion in this area like
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: few others. And so yeah, he needs to get right
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: with Riley Gaines. That is my thinking. You don't want to,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: And I don't think Riley Gaines is the kind of
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: person that's going to drag this out or let this
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: something like this fester. So she said what she said.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: I think she still had the power to move on
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: for it or move on from it. But I don't know.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: If you say, let me know what you think. If
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: you're Catholic, you've seen this image, are you offended by this?
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: I think, and I saw where my good friend Kevin
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Aldridge the inquiry is calling this blasphemous, blasphemous? Is it
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: really is? Is this blaspheming Christ? I don't see it
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: that way. I think Catholics have a sense of humor.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: It's uh. I don't think anyone looks at this and
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: believes that Trump is Christ. So I don't know. I'd
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: like to know what you think about five one, three, seven,
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: four ninety five hundred Dan Carrol for Brian Thomas, fifty
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: five KRSCV talk station from.
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: Over there, they're really there to help, fifty five KRCV
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: talk station six six on this Tuesday morning, April to fourteenth,
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: one day away from tax day.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: So if you haven't got that done yet, chop, chop.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: The government will not wait. They want they want your taxes,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: they want your money. Heard the story there again at
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: the top of the hour about the city of Cincinnati
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: hiring it another law firm to look into the police chief.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: This law firm, Jackson Lewis. According to this, they've got
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: an office downtown on Fifth Street. Don't see anything else
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: in the news about this. So it looks like Channel
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: nine has a scoop on this Tanya Rourke, and we
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: will see what happens. I would not be surprised that
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Tanya Rourke would get the scoop on something like this,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: considering the connections that she has. You know what I mean, Joe,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: he knows what I mean. Oh Man. I keep reading
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: about Trump and the Pope. They're going back and forth
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: at each other. I guess Trump on Sunday said the
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Pope should stop acting like a politician. Pope Leo is
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: weak on crime, terrible for foreign policy, talks about fear.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: The Trump administration doesn't mention the fear the Catholic Church
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: and all other Christian organizations had during COVID when they
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: were arresting priests, ministers, everybody else for holding church services
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: even when going outside being ten twenty feet apart. Trump wrote,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: he says, I like his brother Lewis much better than
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: I like him. He Trump always goes there, doesn't he
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: I like this person and not better than that person.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: I says, Lewis is all Maga gets it. Leo doesn't.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: I don't want a pope who thinks it's okay for
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: a ran to have a nuclear weapon. Well that's a
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: good point right there. I don't know that the Pope
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: thinks it's okay for a Ran to have a nuclear weapon.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: And I actually I have not found the actual comments
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: of the of the Pope, but I was listening to
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: what I guess it was Hannity yesterday and he made
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: an allusion to the UH pointed to I guess something
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: that the Pope said along the lines of that, I
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: guess the US was acting like a bully or the US,
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: you know, shouldn't be involved in in you know, war
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: was a bad thing, criticizing US for making war and
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: I and I wondered to myself, that is, does the
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: Pope criticize Iran for supporting and sponsoring and making happen
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: terrorism all around the world. I just wondered if they
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: And you know, in the remarks that the Pope made
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: about the Trump administration, did he have remarks along the
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: same lines for a rant? But he responded Monday to
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: Trump's criticism. Let's see, Pope Leo responded after President Trump
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: launched a shocking broadside against the papacy. And again, as
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm not altra religious, so maybe I look
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: at this from an arm length away. It really doesn't
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: affect my life on a day to day basis. If
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: if Trump and the Pope want to take shots at
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: each other, but from a political sense, this doesn't change
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: the way I think about things. I mean, there are
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: certain things I would do. I think the President is
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: better off not engaging in a in any verbal altercations
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: with the Pope. Yes, I think he would be much
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: better off leaving that alone. I think he would be
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: much better off handing this off to his staff saying
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: craft a response for me, just say, you know, God,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: blow you know, we don't see things the same way. God,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: bless the Pope. Let's move on the popes that I
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: will not enter into debate. The things that I say
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: are certainly not meant as a tax on anyone. The
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: message of the Gospel is very clear. Blessed are the peacemakers.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: Is the Pope saying that he cannot put Trump in
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: that category as a peacemaker. Preventing a ran from getting
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon and using that nuclear weapon, to my
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: way of thinking, even though we are at war right now,
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: I think will ultimately lead to hopefully a long term
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: and peace. The popes that I will not shy away
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: for announcing the message of the gospel and inviting all
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: people to look for ways of building bridges of peace
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: and reconciliation and looking for ways to avoid war anytime
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: that is possible. I have no fear of the Trump administration.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: Well that's fine, that's great. How about a few words
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: for our friends, you know, the leadership in Irant. How
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: about a few words for those who would seek to
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: use terrorism to gain their political ends. Has the Pope
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: said anything about that? I don't know that he had.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: Maybe the Pope has spoken out about that. You know.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: It's one thing to be bold and unafraid of the
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: Trump administration, but let's see the same boldness and the
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: you know, the same moral courage when it comes to
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: calling out those who would engage in terrorism, those who
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: would kill innocent civilians. And we have seen it time
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: and time again. So uh mister, uh, mister Pope, it's
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: it's a two way street to my way of thinking.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: Mississippi James, Yes, sir, Mississippi James. How are you this morning?
• 44:34
  Speaker 7: Doing?
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 44:35
  Speaker 7: And I come in peace. I love everybody, and there's
• 44:38
  Speaker 7: nothing you can do about it.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: Well you're gonna find peace here, brother, all right?
• 44:44
  Speaker 7: And I put that picture of Trump on the same
• 44:47
  Speaker 7: level as I put the picture of Jews walking on
• 44:51
  Speaker 7: water and they telling us that was God's son. You
• 44:55
  Speaker 7: know that was a terrible picture, that depict that is
• 44:59
  Speaker 7: Jesus for all the years, you know how powerful that
• 45:02
  Speaker 7: was tell us that was God's son and that picture
• 45:07
  Speaker 7: and we know that picture.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: Well, you don't think you don't think Jesus is the
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: son of God.
• 45:14
  Speaker 7: Not that picture, the image. We're talking pictures now, okay,
• 45:17
  Speaker 7: you're not getting into a philosophy. We're talking about pictures.
• 45:21
  Speaker 7: But that was a lie. That picture was. But it
• 45:24
  Speaker 7: was so powerful to induct and meet us with that picture.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: So to sorry you talk, well, hold on, hold on,
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: hold on, hold on. You're talking about an image of
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: Jesus walking on water? Yes, right? Is that? Is that
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: not a story in the Bible about Jesus walking on
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: the water.
• 45:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's the story and about.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, well then then then what's your problem with the
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: image of that?
• 45:51
  Speaker 7: Why shouldn't it be a black Jesus? Could have been
• 45:53
  Speaker 7: a black Jesus walking to water.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: Well, that's I guess that's a that's very true, But
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not getting your point here, Mississippi James.
• 46:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Okay, let me try it again. Okay, at the
• 46:08
  Speaker 7: time in the region what the Bible even came out
• 46:11
  Speaker 7: of that was melanated peoples. So to come back at
• 46:15
  Speaker 7: a time and push pictures pictures all over the world
• 46:19
  Speaker 7: as a white picture, as a white Jesus, that was
• 46:24
  Speaker 7: a lie even in itself.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, okay, now, okay, so, uh you're you don't
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: like the whole notion that Jesus is depicted as a
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: white man in many of the depictions. And then it's
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: not just Jesus on the water, it's there's all kinds
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: of depictions out there as Jesus as what I meant. Okay,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: I get now now I think I'm on to you.
• 46:46
  Speaker 7: So, but wipe all of them out because we know
• 46:48
  Speaker 7: they all of lie. So when we talk about these
• 46:51
  Speaker 7: buffet Christians, you know they're picking chew, but they want
• 46:55
  Speaker 7: to choose out of the Bible. And then you have
• 46:58
  Speaker 7: to get into which Bible.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, wasn't there And I'm up against the
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: break here, Mississippi James. But wasn't there an effort several
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: years ago to to try and and be more accurate
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: in the in the depictions. I think there was I
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: think there was a big conference on that about the
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: depictions to to be more. You know, I don't know
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: what the term is. I guess regionally accurate or more
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: accurate in the depictions of Jesus, you know, depending on
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: the part of the world that he would have been from.
• 47:35
  Speaker 7: Well, the effort was went toward what different does his
• 47:39
  Speaker 7: color matter?
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't, I don't, I don't. Yeah, I think
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: we're in an agreement there. I don't think the color
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: matters all that much, but accuracy would would. I'm not
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: opposed to that at all. But Miss Sippi James, I
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: got to get to a break. I appreciate you picking
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: up the phone this morning. All right, there you go,

  Speaker 1: warm day ahead and maybe a shower or two, so
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: we're in good. Shit On the phone is my new
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: friend Cribbage. Mike got to meet him last week during
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: the honor flight hung out at the airport together and
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: spent the day bumping around Washington, DC and cribbage. Mike,
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: how are you this morning?
• 48:43
  Speaker 8: Good morning, Dan Carrol. As you've been stating today about
• 48:47
  Speaker 8: being tax Day eve. Ah, boy, it always pops up
• 48:51
  Speaker 8: on my computer when I first lighted off. You know,
• 48:53
  Speaker 8: today in history, so as well as being Tax Day
• 48:56
  Speaker 8: eve and all your procrastinators out there trying to sharpen
• 48:59
  Speaker 8: up your number two PILs, but today is a very
• 49:02
  Speaker 8: monumental day in that today is the day the Titanic sank.
• 49:08
  Speaker 8: How about that Abraham Lincoln was shot?
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: Wow?
• 49:11
  Speaker 8: And for all us and for all us westsiders, today
• 49:14
  Speaker 8: is Pete Roses would have been his eighty fifth birthday.
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: My goodness, that's a lot of stuff. That's a lot
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: of stuff for one day. So you got the Titanic,
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: you got Pete rose What was the other one, Abraham Lincoln?
• 49:32
  Speaker 9: Yeah?
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: For theater?
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah absolutely, mister President, don't.
• 49:37
  Speaker 7: Go to.
• 49:39
  Speaker 8: I didn't get a chance to call on yesterday, but
• 49:41
  Speaker 8: I wanted to thank you for once again getting the
• 49:44
  Speaker 8: word out there about Honor Flight, but also to personally
• 49:47
  Speaker 8: thank you for being on the trip, because not only
• 49:51
  Speaker 8: did you help out logistically and as well as taking
• 49:55
  Speaker 8: care of mister Pappus was is a full time job
• 49:57
  Speaker 8: in itself.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: But hearkening, listening, He's listening right now.
• 50:08
  Speaker 8: I noticed several times when we were both at the
• 50:11
  Speaker 8: Vietnam Law together, you talking to those veterans and just
• 50:15
  Speaker 8: listening to their stories. Because that's what so much of
• 50:19
  Speaker 8: Honor Flight is all about, is allowing those veterans to
• 50:22
  Speaker 8: open up and as you mentioned yesterday, with the greater
• 50:25
  Speaker 8: percentage of those veterans on that flight last Tuesday are
• 50:30
  Speaker 8: Vietnam veterans to be there at the wall for over
• 50:33
  Speaker 8: two hours and listen to those stories and do the
• 50:36
  Speaker 8: etchings and finding those names. I mean, it really is,
• 50:40
  Speaker 8: and I'm sure you took away from that too, just
• 50:42
  Speaker 8: a labor of love. I take as many trips as
• 50:45
  Speaker 8: I've been on, I take more from each and every
• 50:48
  Speaker 8: trip talking to these veterans and people in this community
• 50:53
  Speaker 8: that have the ability to see how powerful that day
• 50:56
  Speaker 8: is at the welcome home ceremony. And we got another
• 51:00
  Speaker 8: coming up next month on May nineteenth, So if you've
• 51:03
  Speaker 8: never been, and please be there at CBG because what
• 51:07
  Speaker 8: I'm also very proud of is more and more, not
• 51:11
  Speaker 8: only is the size.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: Of the crowd.
• 51:13
  Speaker 8: But when you look at that crowd and you see
• 51:16
  Speaker 8: those gold T shirts of veterans that have been on
• 51:19
  Speaker 8: that flight, and I'll usually ask them, are you here
• 51:21
  Speaker 8: for somebody who says, no, I know what it was
• 51:23
  Speaker 8: like to walk this parade. I want to be there
• 51:25
  Speaker 8: to shake their hands. That's how powerful this program is.
• 51:28
  Speaker 8: And once again, Dan Carl, I want to thank you
• 51:30
  Speaker 8: for being a part of the team last week.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: Well you're very kind, Mike, and I thank you and
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: you and all the staff and all the volunteers. And
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: then how about the volunteers for Honor Flight. I mean,
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: just to talk about such great dedication and just such
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: great work that they do. And I was told that
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: that crowd that we had at the airport a week
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: ago tonight was one of the biggest ever.
• 51:55
  Speaker 8: And I we never been a judge of crowds, but
• 52:00
  Speaker 8: through so many it just seems like, you know, they
• 52:02
  Speaker 8: go from like five deep to eight deep. And as
• 52:05
  Speaker 8: you noticed everybody up there on that balcony, I agree
• 52:08
  Speaker 8: that it's great to see the young kids, whether they're
• 52:11
  Speaker 8: you know, they're welcoming Grandpa home, or you see the
• 52:14
  Speaker 8: Scouts or certain schools will bring an entire contingency. Yeah,
• 52:18
  Speaker 8: that's what it's all about.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And the looks on the faces of and I
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: think those guys had an inkling that there were going
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: to be some people there to welcome them home. But
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: I think when they when they actually walked in and
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: and all the hands that were coming out to greet
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: them and shake their hands, and and and look them
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: in the eye and tell them thank you, that's that.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: That was the moment. That was the moment right there,
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: and you talked about that. That was the first time
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: that I had been to the Vietnam War Memorial there
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: the wall there in uh in DC, and and and
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: I did want to hear some of the stories of
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: some of the veterans who were there, and it was
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: it was more than I could have asked for. So
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: I thank you and Tom and Cheryl Pop and the
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: chance to go on that honor flight. When she asked
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: me that about a month or so ago, I said,
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: I told her, I said, there's no way I'm saying
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: no to this. And it was. It was just a
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: day that far exceeded any expectation that I had. But Mike,
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: we got a run. We're up against the break.
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: It was great meeting you. And I had heard of
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: cribbage Mike before, but I was able to finally put
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: two and two together when we had a chance to
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: talk at the airport. So it was great meeting.
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: You.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: Keep up the great work, my friend, and we'll be
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: talking again before too long, Yes, sir, All right, there
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: you go, cribbage Mike, and the guy does an unbelievably
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: great job. Six twenty six at fifty five krc DE
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: talk stage that six Tuesday morning. I want to thank
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: cribbage Mike for running down this day in history. Lincoln
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: was shot, he had Pete Rose's birthday, and what was
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: the other one, Joe, there was one? Oh, the Titanic
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: all on this day. That's that. That is a jam
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: pack day right there. This is the portion of the
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: program where I hope there are no members of city
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: Council listening right now, because I'm about to tell you
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: something that I looked at and I look at this
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: and I say, this is a really bad idea. Massachusetts
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: lawmakers are moving ahead with a bill that would force
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: the state to slash the total miles that people can
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: drive under the banner of cutting greenhouse gas emissions. The
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: proposal is Senate Bill two two four six. It doesn't
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: slap a hard cap on your daily commute, yet. It
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: orders the Massachusetts Department of Transportation to set binding goals
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: for reducing statewide vehicle miles travel. It also creates a
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: new government council tasked with pushing people onto public transit,
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: whether they like it or not. So more expansion of government,
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: this time in Massachusetts. Report out of Boston highlights the move.
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: The bill proposed in Massachusetts would limit how far you
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: can drive in your own car, so lawmakers say it
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: would help reduce the state's greenhouse gas emissions. No specific
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: mileage limit has been set or listed, but the bill
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: would require Massachusetts dot to set goals to reduce the
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: number of statewide driving miles. It would also establish a
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: new council to find ways to make public transportation more
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: accessible for residents. How do you do that? You've got
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: public transportation out there, you know where? I mean, how
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: do you make it more accessible other than door to
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: door service? How do you do that? Is it difficult
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: to find out where the public transportation is? I guess
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: you have to get there on your own. Do they
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: send someone maybe in a rickshaw to pick you up
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: at your home and take you two the public transportation
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: because God knows, you can't use a vehicle. I guess
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: maybe they have electric vehicles, but that comes with it
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: with its own carbon footprint. I mean, when you start
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: and I the proposals like this, they sound great, but
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: why why should it be up to lawmakers to decide
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: what level of emissions is acceptable and what level is not.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: You know, we live, we live in a world where
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: efficiency matters. Getting the most mileage out of your vehicle matters.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: Why does it matter because it affects your pocketbook. It
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: affects how much money comes out of your pocket to
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: pay for gas or to pay for that electric to
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: charge up your car. That is largely the reason why,
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: and the reason is economic that we have fuel efficient
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: vehicles these days. The notion of getting When I was
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: a kid, everyone had the giant V eight engines. Hey,
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: they were fun to ride around and man, my uncle
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: had a cutlass, had the four four to two engine
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: in it, that big beautiful Buick engine convertible. You put
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: the put the top down, get out on the highway,
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: step on the gas. As the accelerator went up, you
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: could literally watch a gas needle go down because that
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: thing just burned through the gas. I think that car
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: got maybe twelve miles to the gallon. Now we drive
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: cars that get what twenty twenty five in some cases
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: thirty miles to the gallon. If you've got a hybrid,
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: you're up around what fifty five sixty miles to the gallon?
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: Of gas efficiency and economics, and these are the kind
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: of things that that move the markets towards reducing emissions
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: because it makes it makes sense, it's economy of scale.
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: Government mandates do not work in instances like this, and
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: this is only the beginning and these things when once
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: they get these kind of things in place, they don't
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: stop looking at that. No, and we're not calling for
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: people to drive less. We're not going to regulate how
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: many miles you can drive in your car. But once
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: something like this gets in place, well they're going to
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: revisit this and maybe, you know, maybe put a little fine.
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: Maybe we'll keep track of your mileage and if you
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: go over X number of miles a year, you pay
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: a little bit to the state. How about that? And
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: as I said before, I certainly hope there's no members
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: of Cincinnati City Council listening because these kind of bad
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: ideas tend to spread and we don't need that around here.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: Six thirty six fifty five KRC the talk station. It's
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: not just a d the talk station. So just a
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: little bit more on this Massachusetts thing where they want
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: to restrict the vehicle miles traveled. There's already one committee
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: that has voted it out four to one, and they
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: sent it to the Senate Ways and Means Committee there
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: in Massachusetts, and the UH. The bill is not some
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: fringe idea that's cooked up in isolation, part of a
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: broader push to rational ration mobility under the twin excuses
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: of climate and equity. Similar thinking powers the fifteen minute
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: city concept, the urban planning fad, sold as convenience but
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: designed to make driving anywhere outside your neighborhood a bureaucratic nightmare.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: Need to visit family across town, or hall supplies for
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: a business too bad. The goal is fewer cars, fewer miles,
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: more dependents on government run transit that's already unreliable and
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: crime ridden in blue cities. Europe is already testing the
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: waters with energy rationing talk and amid ongoing crises officials
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: have floated work from home mandates, driving restrictions, limits on
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: flying or heating homes to all to meet net zero targets.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: The whole net zero thing. I think a lot of
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: that under the Trump administration, I know, at least on
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: a national level, is being done away with, But not
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. They want the same top down control in
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: America where rural families trades people and anyone not lucky
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: enough to live in a walkable Boston enclave get punished.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: The hardest supporters dress it up as aligning transportation plans
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: with emission goals. The bill's own text demands the state
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: develop a reasonable pathway to cut vehicle miles traveled through
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: everything from denser development to parking restrictions and tech enabled tracking.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: Critics rightly call it what is what It is a
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: precursor to surveillance fees or outright limits on how far
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: your personal vehicle can go. And we have heard talk
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: about this in the past. So these ideas, even though
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: you hear about them, they get cycled out there. The
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: whole notion of these bad ideas, they get shot down.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: They never go away. And if this idea is still
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: living and breathing, in this case in Massachusetts. You know,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: there are other places across the country where these ideas
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: are still seeing the light of day, and on a
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: federal level. When and eventually this administration will go away,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: and who knows what's going to happen next, But when
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: we get another liberal Democrat administration in the White House,
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: these ideas will come roaring back. Expand government, more government control,
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: monitor your lifestyle to see if it to see if
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: it jives with the official government mandate of the day,
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: and if it doesn't, well there's going there's going to
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: be some punishment for you, whether it's it fines or
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: restrictions on your freedom. You know, all these people who
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: complain about especially I look at all these when the
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: No Kings rallies were going on. All these people complain about,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: mom my civil rights are being violate and then they
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: get asked which ones, Well, they can never name which
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: ones because it's not happening. But when Democrats get in
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: power and they put ideas like this out there, who's
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: infringing on your civil rights? Now? So again, I hope
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: no one from city council is listening because it is
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: a very bad idea. And you know, things like that
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: tend to spread. Uh, Jay, what's going on this morning? Jay?
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: You're on fifty five KRC.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 10: Hey, Good morning Dan. A two quick points. One is
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 10: that whenever I hear about that kind of stupidity going
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 10: on in a state like Massachusetts that has a lot
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 10: of tech jobs, I think there's still some decent manufacturing jobs.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 10: There is a lot of industry up in Massachusetts. I'm
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 10: wondering if our public partner, Ohio based jobs Ohio thing
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 10: that we as taxpayers pay millions and millions and millions
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 10: of dollars into to be our our business development economic engine.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 10: But wonder if instead of like lobbying to get another
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 10: sports team in here, if they will get their asses
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 10: up to Massachusetts and start trying to lure some of
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 10: those employers down to Ohio and talk about all the
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 10: craziness going on up here in the northeast and why
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 10: don't you just come a little bit southwest and we'd
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 10: love to have you. I would love to know that answer,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 10: because it seems to me like that is a richer opportunity.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 10: Second point you had made about how government gets involved
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 10: in putting millions of dollars into campaigns and marketing to
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 10: tell people how to go catch a bus.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 7: One of my pet.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 10: Peeves listening to the radio is the never ending AD
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 10: Council and usually ha, you know, brought to you by
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 10: the ad Council on HHS, meaning your taxpayer dollars. Look
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 10: at your paycheck, where says Paika, you paid for the
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 10: stupid ad that tells you how to tell a better
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 10: dad joke or go to the forest. Two kids, you know,
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 10: talk about going to the forest, or how to sign
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 10: up for medicare. We're paying for we are broke. The
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 10: federal government is broken. Last time I checked. If you
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 10: have an organization that's flat broke thirty eight trillion in debt,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 10: you don't have any marketing money. And OURFPA Junior seemed
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 10: to be the worst at it with HHS a pootnapist stupidity,
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 10: trying to convince us to tell, you know, like we
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 10: don't know how to be a father, so he's going
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 10: to teach us how to tell. And it's not even
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 10: how to be a good father, but how to tell
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 10: the dad joke for crying out loud, just more government waste.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 10: And my favorite was here's how you sign up for medicare?
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 10: Do we need to broadcast how to sign up for Medicare.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 10: I thought the problem with Medicare and medicaid right now
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 10: is we have too many people that know how to
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 10: do it, lots of them coming from foreign countries, but
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 10: there are bad.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: Counsels they have no I agree, there's a boatload of
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: fraud that's attached to all that stuff, and these things
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: like you talk about the advertising and all that, all
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff all gets cooked into those budgets,
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: and so it's it's all in there, and as deep
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: as the swamp is and as deep as the deep
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: state is in Washington, d C. It is a monumental
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: task to go through and try and root all that
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: stuff out. I do have. I have great confidence and
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: great hope for JD. Vance right now, who is attacking
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: the fraud issue, and that they've already gone after a
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: lot of the low hanging fruit in California, but he's
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: already looking at several other states and several other government programs.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: It has a lot of fraud attached to it. I
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: think to get to the kind of stuff so that
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: you're talking about is going to take a lot more,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: you know, a lot more work to to you know,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: kind of get out to those those little smaller things.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: Look at it.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: Look at it this way.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 10: HHS, there's a seven trillion dollars spent at the federal government.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 10: HHS alone is over two trillion of the seven So
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 10: you know, that's a big chunk of the pie. To
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 10: start on it, to ask the question, why are you
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 10: running stupid commercials and ads with the ad Council that
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 10: are telling people nothing. Let's start with and it compared
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 10: to like, you know, what's going on up in Minnesota,
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 10: and it's also going on here in Ohio. I'll say
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 10: it again. The last round of data we've got coming
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 10: out of CMS that doctor Oz has had and CMS
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 10: has had for years, showed Ohio worst place in the
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 10: country at forty three point three percent fraud on a
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 10: forty billion dollar medicaid spend annually. So forty percent of
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 10: forty billion dollars gets into what sixty sixteen billion dollars
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 10: of the potential fraud there duesdays.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: But there was there was so much fraud and so
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: much and I believe the people who are making the
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: case that so much of our debt and deficit problems
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: could be addressed if we could just cut out the fraud.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: But instead, instead there are those in Washington Democrats and
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: Republicans who go full steam ahead, create a new government
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: program for this, a new government program for that, and
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: you layer on one layer of bureaucracy after another, and
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: budgets get and again, all this stuff gets cooked in
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: and baked into these budgets and it never seems to
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: go away. And just looking and look, I mean, look
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: what DOGE did. Look at what Doge did and all
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: the fraud, waste and abuse they identified. And even after that,
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: we couldn't get Republicans in Congress to stand up and
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: say we need to cut this stuff out. And all
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: largely all that stuff that Doge identified as wasteful spending
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: is still in existence today and it's it's an absolute shame. Jay,
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: we're up against clock. We got a run. I appreciate
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: the call. Six fifty five KRC the talk station.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 3: An official message from Medicare.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: Talk station fifty five KRC Detalk station, Dan Carroll for
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: Brian Thomas. That's a quick a little bit of time
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: here to I guess squeeze in one more call before
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: we get to the break here at the top of
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: the hour, and let's say good morning, to Mike. Mike,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: you're on fifty five krc.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 11: A, right, Dan, Uh? Real quick about the mess Jesus
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 11: wanting to put limits.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: On your mileage?
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean countries and have tried this before, where
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 11: you know, they were like, you can only drive your
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 11: car every other day if it has this number on
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 11: your license plate. Cause people to buy a second cheaper
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 11: car with worst aass gas silence and pollution went up.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 11: Or you got with like with the restrictions they tried
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 11: to put on cars where you had cars, manufacturers had
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 11: to make gas mileage so high. So Ford stopped making
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 11: cars because the restriction wasn't on trucks. You know, I
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 11: think iportant makes it sept for the most take the truck.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: I really think there are there are politicians out there
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: who really think that that if they pass some sort
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: of legislation that they are going to somehow save the climate,
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: save the earth, and that this is going to accrue
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: to their benefit, and they can talk about, look at
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: all these wonderful environmental things that I've done because I
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: passed this legislation, and it's it's all a bunch of nonsense.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: It's just very bad ideas that have never worked in
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: the past, and I don't see any reason to believe
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: that they'll ever work in the future. Six fifty five
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: at fifty five KRC. Thanks for the phone call, Mike,
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: fifty five KRC. The talks stays from over there. This

• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: during the early portion of the show today, I want
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: to thank all those folks who picked up the phone

  Speaker 1: and called in five PET three seven hundred. At about
• 1:12:19

• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: dot Org. We'll get his thoughts on data centers coming
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: to Ohio, among other topics. And Tom Zastowski is just terrific.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: I've had a chance to talk to him a couple
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: of times now and I always love having him on. Well.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: We will also get the inside scoop from Breitbart News.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: John Heyward, the national security deputy editor from bright bart News,
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: will be here and we'll talk about all things A
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: rock what's happening. We're not happening with the blockade and
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: all the rest of that and other news today and
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: if all this last night is always getting ready for
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: the show today. And I'm thinking that this is a
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: huge story. And how many of you raise your hand?
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: If you're driving, keep one hand on the wheel, raise
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: your hand though, if you remember the first impeachment against
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump and why did that happen, Well, you had
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: a lot of Democrats out there, among them, most notably
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: Adam Schiff, who kept saying, well, I'm sorry. This was
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: the first impeachment was the Russian collusion, totally fake, phony, false.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: The second impeachment was because he had this phone call
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: whi Zelensky, And you had Adam Shift. Remember Adam Schiff
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: came forward with whistleblower, always got a whistleblower, just totally
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: out of the blue. Guy walks into his office one day,
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: very very disturbing information as relates to President Trump, and
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: Adam Shift took that bull by the horns and the
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: rest is history. While some documentation has come out about
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: that long awaited release came out on Monday from the
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, which is the HPSCI,
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence declassified transcripts from twenty nineteen.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: These are closed door transcripts from twenty nineteen from briefings
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: with the then Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkins. The documents,
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: withheld from the public over seven years, reveal critical details
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: about the so called anonymous whistleblower who's complaining about President
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: Trump's phone call with Ukrainian President Voladimir Zelensky triggered Trump's
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: This says first and piece. So I guess that was
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: the first impeachment. What was the second? Okay, I remember
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: what the second one was. It doesn't matter. Details that
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: directly contradict the narrative of a neutral, nonpartisans civil servant
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: acting in good faith. Remember that got to protect the whistleblower,
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: got the whistleblower out here blowing the whistle on Trump,
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: got to uh, got to get the word out about Trump.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: Just a whistleblower coming, very brave, very courageous. Well, here's
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: what the transcripts show. And thank god for Catherine Herritge.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: Just a terrific investigative reporter, been doing it a long
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: time for CBS News, then Fox News. Now she is
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: on her own. The transcripts reveal just some of the
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: bullet points from the transcripts. The transcripts new public record
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: revealed the whistleblower was a registered Democrat who disclosed having
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: prior professional relationship with one of the Democrat presidential candidates
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: for the twenty twenty election, widely understood in context to
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: reference then former Vice President Joe Biden, given the whistleblowers
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: known Ukraine policy backer. Despite this, the icig Atkinson told
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: Congress in the briefing, I did not find the complaint
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: or the complainant the whistleblower was biased. He relied almost
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: exclusively on the whistleblower's own self disclosure. Also disclosed in
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: these documents, the whistleblower had met with staff from the
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, then chaired by Representative
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: Adam Schiff, Democrat California, before filing the official complaint on
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: August twelfth, twenty nineteen. These these meetings were held. Trump's
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: July twenty fifth, twenty nineteen, phone call with the Ukrainian
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: President Zelenski occurred just eighteen days before the complaint was filed.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: During that window, the whistleblower had undisclosed contact with shift's
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: committee how many times? How many times did we hear
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: Adam Shiff talk about it? Didn't know the whistleblower didn't
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: meet with them ahead of time. You know, his people
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: talked to their people. I don't know what the whistleblower
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: had people, but they talked with Adam Shifts. Everything totally
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: on the up and up. Just a guy who's trying
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: to do his patreon duty. On the official Urgent Concern
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: Disclosure form, the whistleblower did not check the box acknowledging
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: contact with Congressional Intelligence Committee. When pressed by then Representative
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: John Ratcliffe, Atkinson confirmed, the whistleblower did not disclose to
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: you that he or she had contact which the with
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: the s the HPSCI. Atkinson replied, the answer to that
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: is yes. The answer to that is yes. So the
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: documentation shows that the whistleblower, who Adam Schiff repeatedly denied
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: that he had any prior contact to or contact with,
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: was simply not true. At the time, the whistleblower was
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: portrayed across much of the mainstream media and by Democrat
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: leaders as an impartial career intelligence officer. The new transcripts
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: show that key questions about political affiliation potential conflict of
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: interest coordination with Congress were raised behind closed doors, but
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: never fully disclosed to the public. House Intelligence Committee Chairman
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: Rick Crawford of Arkansas said, there have been many questions
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: and concerns about these Atkinson transcripts, which have been withheld
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: from the American people for far too long. I hope
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: the release of these transcripts allows the American people to
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: make their own determinations about the content. Thank you Director
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: Gabbard and her team for moving so quickly through the
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: declassification process. The process began with a vote in late
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: March of twenty six to unseal the transcripts, followed by
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: rapid declassification under DNI TAUSA Gabber. So, in short, we
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: now have official, on the record confirmation of long standing
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: Republican concerns that the impeachment process was politicized from the outset.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: They show that Anicig who accepted the whistleblower's self assessment
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: of impartiality at face value, even after learning of partisan
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: tize and unreported congressional contacts, facts that were blocked out
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: or minimized in earlier public and the earlier public handling
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: of the case. So these transcripts show that the whistleblower
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: was a registered Democrat, had a prior professional relationship with
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden, and had met with Adam Schiff and his
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: staff prior to these whistleblower accusations that led to the
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: impeachment of Trump. A total sham, total misrepresentation by the
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: Democrat Party, total trumped arrangement syndrome, trying to impeach Trump.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: It's it's this, and there's more of this kind of
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: stuff out there, and Catherine Herriage has been on top
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: of all of it. And you look at this and
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: you think, well, Adam Schiff and the members of the
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: committee who lied multiple times and repeatedly to the American people,
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: if they will ever be held accountable. This stuff was
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: hidden for seven years, and had it not been for
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: the Trump administration, who knows if it would ever have
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: seen the light of day. And the answer is it
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: probably would never have. Seven sixteen fifty five krc DE
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: talk station, Hi, Dwayne Thomas recommending Rhino shield. They're at
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: station fifty five krc DE talk station, Dan Carroll for
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: Brian Thomas. So this was the first Trump impeachment. Was
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: the phone called with Zelenski, The second one was over
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: January sixth. I can't believe I forgot about that. Where
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: is my brain? Where is my mind? January six Of
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: course they tried to impeach him for that, for the
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: fake insurrection. But this is just to my way of thinking,
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: this is bombs bombshell stuff. You've got the twenty nineteen
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: impeachment and the Federalist. Jordan Boyd did an analysis of
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: this at the Federalist and talks about the six things
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: to know about the twenty nineteen impeachment coup against Trump,
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: and one is that the complaint was laden with lies
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: and gossip. So it was the July twenty, twenty nineteen
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: phone call with Zelenski, Trump mentioned concerns about the Biden
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: family corruption in Ukraine, concerns that future reporting would prove
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: to be legitimate. Weeks later, in August, a Democrat operative
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: posing as a whistle blow or misrepresented the content of
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: the call to falsely accused Trump of weaponizing the call
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: as a quid pro quote. Remember that memory, all the
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: discussions we had back then about quid pro quo, what
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: it meant. Why were they bringing this up against Trump?
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: Complain alleged Trump engaged in corruption and crimes in his
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: phone call replied largely on open source information such as gossip,
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: corporate media or corporate media articles, even Twitter posts instead
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: of the witness for firsthand evidence required for further investigation.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: So there was no firsthand evidence of this. The Federal
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: CEO Sean Davis noted at the time the complaint followed
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: the same template used in the infamous and debunk Clinton
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: campaign funded Steele dossier. The whistleblower admitted, I was not
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: a direct witness to most of the events that should
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: have ended it right there. I was not a direct
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: witness to most the events. Instead sided conversations with more
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: than a half dozen US officials who remained unnamed unnamed,
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: and they remain unnamed to falsely assert that Trump demanded
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: Zelensky turnover servers used by the Democrat National Committee and
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: to keep a certain prosecutor general in his position. So
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: the first in trump impeachment against Trump, the first impeachment
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: over this what Trump calls his perfect phone called Whistlenski.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: Adam Schiff brings forward a so called whistleblower who was
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: a registered Democrat, who had ties to Joe Biden in
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: a professional sense, who had met with Shift and members
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: of his MINEE or at least staff prior to making
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: these allegations, which of course Schiff lied about. The guy's
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: a liar, and why he continues to get airtime on
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: CNN or MSNBC or any other news outlet in this
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: country is beyond baffling to me. I wonder if CNN
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: you know I don't have a TV in here. I
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: can't monitor Morning Joe. Is Morning Joe? Having Schiff on
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: today to talk about this put him under the spot.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: Will he go on Fox News and be on the
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: Brett Bear Show tonight? Hey, Adam Shift, the testimony here
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: says you lied about the whistleblower, didn't have any prior contact.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: Dude was pure as the wind driven snow. Well, it's
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: all fake and phony. What do you got to say
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: about that? For years you talked about ample evidence in
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: the Russian collusion, complete and total lie. You read a
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: false narrative at the beginning of the Trump impeachment hearings
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: into the Congressional record, complete and total fabrication, complete and
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: total lie. And now you've got a so called whistleblower
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: who told you I was not a direct witness to
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: most of the events and instead relied on conversations that
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: he had with others in the US government hearsay evidence,
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: and so you want to take that and initiate an
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: impeachment hearing against the Trumpster. It is absolutely shameful. Absolutely,
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: it is beyond shape. I'm not a lawyer. I don't
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: know if it's criminal or not, but where is the
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: where is the come up and where is the accountability
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: for these individuals? And there's more in here about Lieutenant
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: Colonel Alexvinman and you know what a what a chiseler
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: this guy is. But we got to get to a break,
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: and we got Tom Zastowski coming up after the after
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: the break, So I'm looking forward to that. Dan Carroll
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: for Brian Thomas. Fifty five KRC the talk station. That's
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: the number of people who take the step. Fifty five KRC.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: The talk station is seven nine. We roll on till
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: nine this morning. Always glad to be sitting in for
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: Brian Thomas, want to get the chance. Always grateful for
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: Joe Strucker being there, and always great to have this guy.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: I want to give a chance to him. Tom Zowistowski
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: his website is We the People Convent Org. He is
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: a podcaster and former Tea Party guy. And I could
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: sit here and name all the stuff that you've done, Tom,
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: but then that would take up all our interview time,
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: and we don't want to do that, do it, No,
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: we don't.
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 7: Dan.
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 3: It's great to be on again with you this morning.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 3: Thanks for asking me to join you.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: Hey, before you came on, I was reading this information
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: that came out about the first Trump impeachment and if
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: you remember that, it was the phone call with Zelensky
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: and he had Adam Schiff and all the Democrats out
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: there who were talking about the whistleblower who came forward
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: and talked about how Trump was undermining the foreign policy
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: of the United States engaging in a quid pro quo.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: But it turns out that it confirms what we I
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: think we knew all along that the whistleblower was a
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: registered Democrat, that he had contact with Adam Schiff and
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: his committee before it came out. It turns out he
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: also had a professionalsciation with Joe Biden while he was
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: still vice president. So this guy, I think can rightly
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: be identified as a Democrat party operative who was cast
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: in the role as a whistleblower to launch this impeachment
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: against Donald Trump, completely fake, completely false, completely phony. Adam
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: shift probably continues to sell this lie to this very day.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: I wonder if anyone will bother to ask him about
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: it the next time he shows up on MSNBC or CNN.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: And I asked the question again, where is the accountability
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: for people like Adam Schiff who led the charge on
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: this fake, phony impeachment against Donald Trump?
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 3: So, Dan, you know, let's just put it straight out.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 3: There isn't this treason. Isn't this trying to overthrow the
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 3: duly elected.
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: That's a good point. That's a good point.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 3: Where are the charges? This guy is a trader, okay?
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 3: And the people that were doing that particular impeachment, you know,
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 3: with the call to Ukraine, well what were they doing.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 3: They were covering up Joe Biden and Hunter Biden's illegal
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 3: activity with Ukraine. And that was treason. That was you know,
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 3: something where they should be criminally charged. And that is
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 3: the frustration that you and your listeners and all Americans have,
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 3: because the fight today is about justice, equal justice under
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 3: the law. They are not being held accountable. And I appreciate,
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 3: you know, Catherine Herridget that that's great, that you get put.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 3: You know, some accolades out to her because she's a
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 3: real warrior. And I appreciate Telsey gabbered just declassifying it.
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 3: But where are the charges. That's what we need to see,
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 3: because without equal justice under the law, we are not
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 3: a nation at all if we are founded on the
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 3: rule of law and not men. But you can see
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 3: there we weren't following the law. We were being ruled
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 3: over by horrible people like Adam Schiff and quite frankly,
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 3: the Republicans that let them get away with it when
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 3: they knew this was true. You and I knew, So
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 3: how could Republicans in Congress not know? And they still
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 3: let it happen?
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: Well, and they knew, and it stayed buried for seven years.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: And and I'm looking at the reporting that was done
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: by the Federalist and they're saying that the whistleblower admitted
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: that quote, I was not a direct witness to most
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: of the events. That right there, that should have ended.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: That should have been the end of it right there.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: When you've got a so called whistleblower who comes forward
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: and says I was not a direct witness, then that's it.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: See you later. It's over. I mean, there's to my
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: way of thinking, there is nothing more, then there's nothing
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: more after that. And you're right, the Republicans on the
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: committee who knew about this should have had the courage
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: to speak up and damn the torpedoes and call this
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: out for what it was instead of letting this lie
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: buried for seven years. And God help us, if Kamala
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: Harris were to become president, we still wouldn't know about
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: this today.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 3: Well that's a fact. And you know, for the people listening,
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 3: you know, there are people who say, geez, you know,
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 3: we got to move on, you know, move on from
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty. You know, you know, let's go forward. This
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 3: is why you can't. You have to, because they've been
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 3: hiding this stuff. And I saw that Alan Dershowitz is
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 3: saying that Trump could press to have that impeachment expunged
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 3: from the record because this is so egregious what was disclosed.
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 3: There is so much American history that needs to come
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 3: out and needs to be set right. And by set right,
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 3: I mean the insurrectionous, the real insurrectionouss, the real traders
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 3: like com Me and Struck and Paige and Billary, Clinton
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 3: and the rest of them. Need to go to prison
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 3: to settle what the real American history was, because we've
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 3: been living a lie for about twenty years now and
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 3: we're sick of it. We want the truth.
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to get your opinion about the lack
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 1: of media coverage on this particular story. So Tom, stay
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: right there. We got to get to a quick break
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: and continue with Tom Zoistowski on fifty five KRC the
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: talk station HICs Brian Thomas here for Peter Shabreath is
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: fifty five KRC. Dan Carroll hanging out from Brian Thomas
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: talking with Tom Zoistowski. We the People Convention dot Org
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 1: and Tom, I only get one more thought for you
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: on this before we move on. But I look at
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: this story, and this story is extreme from a media perspective,
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: it is extremely juicy. It is something that people can
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: get their head around. Anyone who's been around for a
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: few years can remember, can recall the impeachment of Donald Trump,
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 1: especially the first one with Zelenski, who is still in
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: news today as it relates to Ukraine. So where is
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: the national media reporting on this? There's there's so much
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: stuff here. It would seem to me this would be
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: a natural natural for ABC CBS, the New York Times
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 1: front page news that the total impeachment, the impeachment of
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: a president of the United States was a total total lie,
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: in a total sham.
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 3: Well, Dan, you know, the reality is that there is
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 3: no media. The national media is a propaganda wing of
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 3: the left in the United States. And again you could
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 3: see it with this Eric Swalwell thing, right. Eric Swalwell
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 3: has been a scumbag forever.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: We all knew it.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 3: We knew what he was doing, you know, with these
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 3: women and things, and they don't say a word until
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 3: they need to get him out of the California governor's
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 3: race because they're splitting the vote and may have Steve
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 3: Hilton elected. Rights They knew all this stuff was wrong,
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 3: but are they going to admit it? Never? But guess what,
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 3: that's why they're stating from everyone's mind. The people that
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 3: I talk to, the people who watch my podcast every week,
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 3: my weekly news and opinion recap on Read the People
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 3: Convention that Org. They say, Tom, I've stopped watching all news.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 3: I don't watch any news all week, and I watch
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 3: your podcast because you'll give me the news I need
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 3: to know about. In a short, concise statement, people listen
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 3: to KARC fifty five. Because they want to get the
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 3: news that isn't biased, that isn't propaganda.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 7: You can't get it.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 3: They're never going to admit that they did anything wrong
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 3: with Donald Trump. Remember the New York Times got a
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 3: Pulzer Prize for the Russia Russia lie. They got a
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 3: Pulzer prize?
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 1: Did they give that one? Did they give that one?
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: I know Trump was telling them to give it back.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: I don't think they ever entertained that notion of giving
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: that back.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 3: Did they They ain't giving it back, and they just
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 3: need to go away. And fortunately, their their viewership, their
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 3: readership is so oh, it doesn't matter to talk to
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 3: anyone who gets their news from ABC, NBC, CBS or
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 3: PBS anymore. Nobody does. It's such a small percentage of
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 3: people their entire When you look at CNN and MSNBC
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 3: or ms now or whatever it is, their viewership isn't
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 3: even half of what Fox's viewership is, is even half
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 3: and together. And so the bottom line is we are
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 3: in a real crisis in America because to be an
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 3: informed electorate, you've got to have access to accurate information.
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 3: And it's getting harder and harder because we're swimming in
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 3: a sea of propaganda, and that's what you're seeing about
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 3: the Iran war, that's what you're seeing about Trump and
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 3: the economy. Peck. I could barely tell what's true anymore,
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 3: and you, I'm sure have the same problem trying to
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 3: fight through it all to get some facts about things.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 3: And that's why, you know, I wrote the thing about
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 3: the data centers that kind of triggered you know this,
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 3: this you know call to you guys today, because again,
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 3: what are the facts. Let's deal with facts, not rumors,
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 3: not fear mongering, not innuendo.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to ask you about the data that
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: the data centers. But you brought up Swalwell, and that
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 1: triggered a thought in my mind that to my and
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: the great Rush Limbaugh used to talk about scandals like
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: this as it relates to Democrats, and he would, you know,
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: he would say of Eric Swalwell that normally when you
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: have affairs like this or you're accused of these sexual improprieties,
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: that he called these resume enhancements for Democrats. And so
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: the only reason I think, Tom Zostowski, that Swalwell number
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: one stepped down from the governor's race in California and
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 1: then Number two announced his resignation last night from Congress.
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: Is because it serves the larger Democrat purpose. It serves
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: the purpose of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and the
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 1: Democrat and the leftist agenda more than anything else. They
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 1: don't care that Swollwell has this kind of character, or
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: that he acts in a certain way, or other people
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: that work for him know of this poor behavior on
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: his part. The only reason that he has gone is
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: because it serves the agenda and the purpose of the
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: Democrat Party.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 3: That's a fact. And it's a real sad statement about
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 3: you know, politics in our world today because I don't
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 3: know if you've noticed this, but it seems to me,
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 3: particularly with social media, you know, bringing out these people's
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 3: you know, worse side, that it seems like the most creepy,
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 3: narcissistic people in our society are moving into politics. It's like,
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 3: what the heck? What happened to just normal people running
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 3: for office? And the problem is because you can't run
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 3: for office unless you've got your name, and you get
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 3: a name by being salacious and saying things online that
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 3: are controversial, and that's not a healthy person. I don't
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 3: want those kind of people governing over me or you know,
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 3: my as my elected representative. But boy, more and more,
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 3: and it's not just Democrats. There's a lot of Republicans
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 3: like that too.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's there's plenty of finger pointing to go around
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: on both sides of the aisle. All right, let's get
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: into the AI discussion, and we'll do that after a
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: quick break. Tom stay right there as we continue on
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: with Tom Zoastowski of We the People Convention dot Org
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: on fifty five KRCV talk station at U Line. They
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: know firsthand the road to success is an uphill, cleanly
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: talk station fifty five krc Back on the air with
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 1: Tom Zoastowski, We the People Convention Dot Org and Tom,
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: you brought up the subject of AI. The data centers
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: that UH that the and the and my understanding of
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 1: this is that the artificial intelligence UH to make it
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: work consumes so much power that these companies that want
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 1: to bring AI to America and make it available for everyone,
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: they need these data centers that are require their own
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: power plans and it's it's just going to be uh.
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: I guess on one hand, it's going to be a
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: huge economic boom for any area that gets that gets
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: one of these data centers. What do we need to
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 1: know about this?
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 3: Well, I just want people you know, and I'm sure
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 3: a lot of your your audience is very fired up
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 3: about this issue because there's a lot of talk about it.
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 3: And a matter of fact, Tom Deweize was just on
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 3: at Empower you. You know, your good friends Zan Ragunol
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 3: that Empower you had Tom Dewesze talk about, you know,
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 3: these the problems with data centers. There are definitely issues
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 3: with data centers. But what I want to make the
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 3: point of is that you need to you need to
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 3: understand that they can be built in a way that
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 3: is safe. It's you know, the whole complaint is it's
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 3: gonna use your power. Your electric rates are gonna go
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 3: up because of these data centers. They're gonna use your
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 3: water up completely. You'll use unbelievable amounts of water, and
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 3: that they're gonna poison your soil and your water with chemicals. Okay, Well,
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 3: if you go to Portage countyteaparty dot com Portage County
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 3: Teaparty dot com. I wrote a rebuttal to a video
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 3: that was posted uh at a meeting from Ravenna Ohio.
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 3: This last week where they basically have started, they passed
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 3: the rule to delay any development data centers or REVENNA
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 3: for a year because of this young man's presentation. Well,
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 3: I watched his presentation and I just said, this is
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 3: total garbage. Okay, this video is an expert class and
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 3: left this propaganda, And so I wrote a rebuttal and
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 3: you can read that at Portage Countyteaparty dot com. Okay,
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 3: And as all I'm saying to people is, yes, there
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 3: are big questions about AI, and I'm sorry be getting
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 3: so many websites and things out. But if you go
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 3: to We the People Convention dot org, my main website,
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 3: there is an article everybody needs to read and it's
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 3: about this something big happened in AI, and it's about
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 3: this mythos large language, m bi anthropic that basically has
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 3: changed all of our worlds. You gotta go read it.
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 3: Is that We the People Convention dot org. It's written
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 3: by a guy named Peter Diamondis and basically, folks, what
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 3: has happened is they have created an AI that has
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 3: found thousands, thousands of security flaws in every operating system
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 3: that's ever been invented from Linux to Macios, to Microsoft
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 3: to all your browsers and everything, and it's so dangerous
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 3: they aren't releasing it publicly. They created a forty company
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 3: consortium that they're letting you it to fix all of
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 3: the vulnerabilities in all of our software before the bad
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 3: guys can extort it. Okay, now, why is that important.
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 3: It's important because the Chinese are right on our heels
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 3: developing this and if they got this before we do,
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 3: they could destroy our country. This is a national security issue,
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 3: not just a local community issue about water and power
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 3: and all that stuff. And so I need people to
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 3: get educated because just like in fracking, and I mention
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 3: that in my article that during the fracking age, they.
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 1: Were doing the same thing.
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 3: Fracking is gonna moisten your water, It's gonna cause earthquakes.
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 3: It's the end of the world. Until we the Porch
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 3: County Tea Party, the Ohio Liberty Coalition stood up and said,
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 3: wait a minute, wait a minute, we need these jobs,
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 3: we need this energy, and we fought it back. That
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 3: was paid for that fight against fracking was paid by Russia.
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 3: And the link to that story is in my ports
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 3: Kin Tea Party article. This thing about data centers is
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 3: being paid for by China. They want to stop us
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 3: from developing AI, and the way you do that, you
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 3: stop us from building data centers. It's a national security
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 3: issue and it's real, and you need to understand that. Yes,
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 3: we have to deal with the problems with AI, but
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 3: we've got to still do it because it's in our
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 3: best interest.
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 1: Well, Tom Zastowski, as you always do, when you put
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 1: it in that kind of context, it just makes tons
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 1: of sense. I remember talking about this, I don't know,
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 1: four or five, six weeks ago, when the Trump administration
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 1: actually had an idea about this. You know, let these
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 1: companies build these AI centers and they've got the money
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 1: to build them themselves. And just by the very nature
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 1: of these the power that needs to be consumed by this,
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 1: there's going to be times when there's extra power available.
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 1: Put that out on the grid, make it support the
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 1: local community, make it make it a win win for
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 1: everyone involved. And I don't know why that idea is
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 1: not being championed by more people. But Tom z Owastowski,
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 1: you make great points. Your website is we the People
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 1: Convention dot org. I'm looking at it right now. Something
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 1: big happened and the AI that you all need to
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 1: know about. So I encourage everyone to go there and
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 1: look at that. And again, one of these days I'm
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 1: going to book you for an hour because it's so
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 1: much fun talking to you.
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 4: Tom.
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 3: I appreciate it, awful, love to do it, Thanks so much,
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 3: and all your listeners just be educated. Right, Let's make
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 3: good decisions. Let's not just get scared by hype and
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 3: fear and all that.
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 1: Tom z Owastowski, keep up the great work, my friend.
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 1: We'll talk to you later. Thanks Sam. All right, there
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 1: you go, and again the website we the People Convention

• 1:47:27
  Speaker 1: I talked a little bit earlier this morning about the
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 1: New York Post and how great that website is. Another
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 1: website that is a go to website for anyone that
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 1: is in this business is Breitbart, and Breitbart dot com
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 1: just does an outstanding job covering everything you need to
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 1: know under the sun. And it is my pleasure to
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 1: welcome in John Hayward. Hugh is the he is the
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 1: National security deputy editor for Breit Burton. He's going to
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 1: give us the inside scoop with Breitbart News this morning.
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 1: And John Hayward, it's great to have you on fifty
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 1: five KRC. Good morning, sir, Good morning, great to talk
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 1: to you. There's so much information going on and so
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 1: much so much conflicting stuff that seems to be coming
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 1: out of what is happening with Iran. I read about
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 1: you know, there are minds, there are not mines. They've
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 1: got the fast boats that we can't catch up with.
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 1: We can't shoot them, you know, we can't blow them
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 1: out of the water. We can't see them on radar.
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 1: They're putting mines in the water. There are minds in
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 1: the water. There's no mines in the water. The lanes
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 1: are open, they're not open. The blockade is happening. To
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 1: your way of thinking, what is probably the most important
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 1: thing that we need to know with regard to Iran
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 1: at this point in time.
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 9: Well, I think the blockade is the big news. It
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 9: is in effect it's running. A couple of Chinese ships
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 9: tried to pass through the Strait of Hormuz yesterday and
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 9: then they turned around and ran away, And we're not
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 9: sure if they were afraid of the Iranians are afraid
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 9: of us. But the blockade is definitely up and running,
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 9: zero trap in Iranian ports, and President Trump has said
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 9: he'll fire on ships that attempt to violate it, or
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 9: if Iran tries to attack any of the blockade force.
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 9: So right now that's holding. Now, there's a seasfire in effect,
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 9: and it's got six days to go from here. And theoretically,
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 9: if Iran does anything at all, it would violate the
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 9: seaspire for the next six days. So they might just
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 9: keep their powder dry. It might just behave themselves until
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 9: that period of time ends. The problem is that if
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 9: this blockade lasts more than about fifteen days total, it's
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 9: going to irreparably damage Iran's oil industry. They're not just
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 9: losing money, Their oil wells are going to start turning
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 9: sour and becoming less productive, and the damage gets worse
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 9: and worse the longer they're not running. So there's a
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 9: pretty heavy ticking clock on Tehran here Yeah.
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 1: So as I look at this, there are two components
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 1: to the blockade, and one is that ships going to
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 1: or from Iranian ports they're going to be locked down,
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 1: They're going to be blocked and not coming in, they're
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 1: not coming out. But then the other part of the blockade,
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 1: according to you Central Command, is that ships that are
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 1: looking that are looking to transit the Strait of Horror moves,
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 1: that those things are going to happen. So and I
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 1: think that's the part that gets lost in all the
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 1: news coverage about the blockade, is that the way this
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 1: is set up, that you know, trade and ships that
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 1: are not going to an Iranian port are going to
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 1: be able to get through the strait. And at that
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 1: point does that appear to be happening to you?
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 9: There has been a little traffic through it, not a lot.
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 9: I think the traffic is still nervous. Ship captains are
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 9: nervous about going through there. Who knows what the Iranians
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 9: will do. Who knows if there's really mines you mentioned,
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 9: are their minds or there not minds? Well, you don't
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 9: really know. The Iranians said they drop minds, but you
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 9: can't spot them on satellite. So until a mind sweeper
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 9: goes through there, We're not really sure one way or
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 9: the other. So you got to be careful about all that.
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 9: And there is one other potentially perilous moment to come here,
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 9: and that's because President Trump said we will stop any
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 9: ship that pays a ransom to Iran in exchange for
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 9: a safe passage. And right now most of the countries
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 9: that might have done that, India prominently, are scrambling to
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 9: reassure us no, no, no, we're not doing that. We
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 9: haven't paid them any tolls. But Trump said we will
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 9: stop a ship that pays a toll to Iran for
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 9: safe passage. And I don't know what that's going to
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 9: look like. If it happens, it's going to be a
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 9: tense moment.
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I know Iran said that that was what
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 1: they wanted to do. They wanted to charge that two
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 1: million dollar toll to go through. So do we know
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 1: if that in fact actually happened.
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 9: That something There are so many that there are so
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 9: many conflicting reports about that. There have been word that
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 9: some people did pay it, but no names are attached
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 9: to which countries did it, and every country that might
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 9: have done so, like China or India is insisting they didn't.
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 9: So I don't know if we have a smoking gun
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 9: that proves anybody's actually paid their toll. But President Trump said,
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 9: nobody else is ever going.
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 1: To let me. Let me play a little SoundBite for
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 1: you and Joe. This soundbite's two minutes long, but I
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 1: don't want to play the whole thing, but I just
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 1: want to play a little bit for John Heywood and John,
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 1: I want to get your reaction to Hillary Clinton on
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 1: the Morning Joe's show yesterday, and she took the opportunity
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 1: to take some shots at jd Evans. Joe, let's say
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 1: a cut number two.
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 12: Let's be really clear about what accountability means here, and
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 12: let's start holding him accountable for what he says and
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 12: what he does. And of course we have to wait
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 12: for an election, but there are a lot of people
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 12: around him who I think need to be held accountable
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 12: right now for the behavior that they're engaged in and
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 12: what they are leading us toward.
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 3: If you were Secretary of State today, what would be
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 3: your next step following the talks in Islamabad.
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 12: Well, there is so much damage that's been done by
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 12: this administration to achieving those two goals. That it's going
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 12: to take a lot of hard work. And you know, Joe,
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 12: let me just say this, When I was Second Terry
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 12: of State and beginning the secret then secret negotiations with
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 12: Iran to try to reach a nuclear weapons deal to
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 12: prevent them from ever having a nuclear arsenal.
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 1: All right, well, let's stop right there, Joe. So John Hayward,
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 1: there's the former Secretary Hillary Clinton bragging about her time
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 1: as with the Obama administration as Secretary of State. She
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 1: left out the part where the Obama administration put one
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 1: point seven billion dollars on pallettes and sent that to
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 1: the terrorist regime. There. This cut a deal that would
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 1: have guaranteed that Iran would have had the capability to
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: produce a nuclear weapon. So she leaves that part out.
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 1: So I find it rich that she's able to go
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 1: on mourning, Joe and excoriate JD. Vans and Donald Trump
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 1: for the way their negotiations went with iron.
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 9: Yeah, if you can recover from the pain of listening
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 9: to her horrible voice, think about what you just heard there.
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 9: There's only one factual statement she made. Everything she said
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 9: was bilious gas that anybody on a street corner could say,
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 9: I mean, not a word of.
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 1: What she said.
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 9: It was all vagaries. Oh, they need to be investigated,
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 9: they need to be held accountable. Not a single verifiable
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 9: fact in there except one thing she said, and the
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 9: one thing she said is an absolute lie. Obama's nuclear deal,
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 9: by no means was going to prevent or Ran from
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 9: having a nuclear weapon. That is a stone cold lie.
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 9: His nuclear deal just slowed them down a little, supposedly,
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 9: and we know it wasn't working, but it was never
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 9: meant to do anything other than slowed them down by
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 9: a couple of years. So that's Hillary Clinton in a nutshell,
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 9: a bunch of gaseous hot air and nothing you can
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 9: even take to the bank except the one factual statement
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 9: she made in all that rambling was a complete lie.
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 1: When you talk God, she's gone.
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 9: Thank God they're gone.
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 1: Thank God for that. But you know, Morning Joe will
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 1: continue to put on people like her. When we talk
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 1: about negotiations with Iran, do you have sense who are
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 1: they negotiating with? Because so much of the leadership that
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 1: was in place has been wiped out, we are led
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 1: to believe that the second tier of their leadership has
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 1: been wiped out as well. I guess they're still a
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 1: foreign minister or someone in charge. Who are they negotiating
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 1: with in Iran? And who is it in Iran that
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 1: is able to call the shots and tell Iranian whatever
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 1: Iranian forces are left to take your swift boat out
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 1: in the water, launch a missile here. Who's calling those
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 1: shots and in the negotiating with Well, the.
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 9: Short answer is Mohammed Galibaf, who is the speaker of
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 9: the Iranian parliament and is supposedly the reasonable guy. President
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 9: Trump had said they found somebody reasonable to talk to,
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 9: and later he said it was him.
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 7: He named Hi my name.
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 9: He seems to be the highest ranking functioning executive that
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 9: they current have in the Iranian government, and he seems
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 9: to be in charge the Iranians portraying him as being
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 9: the shot caller in these negotiations. But there were words
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 9: that during these negotiations in Islamabad he kept ducking out
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 9: into a hallway and making phone calls. So he's answering
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 9: to somebody, and the somebody he's answering to would be
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 9: the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. That's the radical terrorist Iranian militia,
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 9: that's their elite theocratic military. The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 9: They own basically everything in Iran. They own like sixty
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 9: to seventy percent of Iran's national assets. They control every how, they're.
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 1: The ones that do you think the IRGC is though?
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 1: How you know what's their functionality like these days?
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 9: It's it's decentralized. At this point, they took big hits.
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 9: They lost a lot of top officers. But they're a
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 9: fanatical military I mean that's their whole training. They don't
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 9: get military training like we do. They get indoctrinated into
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 9: fanaticism and stuff. And there are a mean bunch of characters.
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 9: They're they're murderers, they're terrorists and they know it. So
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 9: this is an ugly crew. And whoever is left in
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 9: the IRGC command structure centrally is the one that Gallabat
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 9: has probably talking to on the phone. The problem they
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 9: have is that a lot of their external units out
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 9: at the edges of their command structure, their anti aircraft
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 9: missile launchers, that kind of thing. Those people lost communication
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 9: with central command during the bombing, and they seem to
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 9: be acting autonomously and not always in a very smart way.
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 9: When they would launch their missiles and pick their targets.
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 9: So it could be that since the ceaspire went into
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 9: effect a few days ago, they've had time to re
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 9: establish control over the rank and file units. They might
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 9: have a better structure than they did, say, five days ago,
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 9: right now, but they're still not really tightly coordinated in
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 9: a military sense. But somebody back there at IRGCHQ is
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 9: the one telling Gallibaf yes and no.
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, John Hayward, do you have time to
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 1: hang around for one more segment?
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 7: Sure?
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 1: Nope, Okay, let's do a quick break here and we'll
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 1: continue on with John Hayward of Breitbart right after this
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 1: on fifty five KRCV talk station. You ever wonder how
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 1: far on ev you can take. Fifty five KRCV talk station.
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 1: We are having an eye this conversation with John Hayward
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 1: of Breipbart News, and John, let me ask you this.
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 1: There has been some talk, I think tanggentially at least
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 1: about the notion of arming the Iranian people to I
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 1: guess further the notion and complete the idea of regime
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 1: change in Iran. The way that the citizens have been
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 1: wiped out, those have been demonstrating on the streets is
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 1: absolutely horrific. What do you make of this idea of
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 1: arming the Iranian people, is you look at this, what
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 1: are the pros and cons of making a move like that.
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 9: Well, the biggest problem with it is that they are
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 9: thoroughly disarmed and helpless right now, and just sending a
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 9: few creates of guns over there is not going to
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 9: make enough of a difference. Remember, these are people that
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 9: are not able to train with firearms, they're not allowed
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 9: to have them. They're helpless captives of their regime, and
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 9: they're going to be going up against organized military units
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 9: that have been assigned to murder them if they rise
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 9: up again. So I'm all in favor of an armed populace,
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 9: but I don't know that you can fix the Iranian
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 9: people's military disadvantage by just sending them some guns. And
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 9: according to President Trump, we actually tried to do it.
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 9: It didn't work. He said, the Kurdisha insurgents at the
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 9: edge of the country kept the weapons that we gave
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 9: them to pass on to the Iranian people. Hasn't been
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 9: allowed to follow up on that comment over the past
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 9: week since he made it, which makes me think it's
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 9: more or less true because there was nothing but a
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 9: perfunctory denunciation of it. So I think the CIA is
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 9: probably concluded that getting a significant amount of weaponry into
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 9: the hands of the Ranian people would be very difficult
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 9: to do. Some of the airstrikes we did hit the
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 9: Iranian oppression units, the besieged militia, which is what they
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 9: send out to murder their people when they come out
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 9: in the streets. Those guys took some hard punches during
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 9: the bombing campaign, so they might have a harder time
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 9: controlling the populace through force if another uprising happens in
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 9: the immediate future.
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 1: Do you have any sense that there is an organized
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 1: resistance in Iran of people who are is somehow in
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 1: contact with the Trump administration asking for this to happen?
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 9: I think there absolutely is, Yes, the Iranian resistance in
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 9: the diaspora. Aranians that have fled Iran and are working
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 9: from the outside are constantly talking about being in touch
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 9: with resistance people inside. There really is one. But one
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 9: of the problems is a lot of them got murdered
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 9: in January during the last uprising when they took to
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 9: the streets. We know Iran just randomly shot a bunch
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 9: of people in the head during the demonstrations, but they
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 9: also targeted, arrest and executed some people that they knew
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 9: were real threats, were organizers. So the Iranian resistance suffered
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 9: a bit during that a crackdown that we just had.
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 1: So I think it's fair to look at this, and
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 1: I have people ask me about Iran all the time
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 1: and what I think about it, and I think it's
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 1: fair just to say to look at what's happening there
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 1: and say, look, there's a fair amount of chaos that
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 1: surrounds the policy here, what's happening on a day to
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 1: day basis that we talked earlier about all the conflicting
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 1: reports that come out of Iran. Is it also fair
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 1: to say that we have seen enough about Trump, that
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 1: we know enough about Trump that he has in his
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 1: own mind and maybe he's not articulated fully to the
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 1: American people for his own reasons. But is it fair
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 1: to say that Trump has built up enough goodwill with
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 1: the American people that we need to trust him on this,
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 1: that he has the big picture in mind and what
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 1: the end result of all this looks like.
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 9: I think for anybody that's been keeping track of this
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 9: in a sober rational way, Yes, he has given people
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 9: enough to believe in here, in what he's accomplished so far,
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 9: to stick with him and let him play it out
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 9: through these next couple of weeks. And I think most
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 9: of the American people will basically do that, even if
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 9: they tell Polsters they're not happy with the war running
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 9: on for weeks and weeks on end, They'll let him
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 9: get a few more weeks and hear the rest of
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 9: this month to play his cards and see what happens.
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 9: And I don't think it's going to take much longer
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 9: than that, one way or the other. And I think
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 9: the other thing to remember about the sense of chaos
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 9: over all this is that Trump is a big believer
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 9: in not telegraphing his punches. He tells people every.
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 7: Chance he gets.
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 9: The previous administrations were foolish for saying what they were
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 9: going to do and exactly what their exit conditions were
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 9: and everything at the beginning of an engagement. And that's
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 9: just telling the enemy what they need to do to win.
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 9: And he's really big on not doing that, and right
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 9: now is a great example of that. The bombing campaign
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 9: was intense. It took out a lot of Iranian leaderships.
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 9: There was a decent chance the regime would collapse.
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 7: After that, it didn't.
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 9: It held itself together and survived all that. So step
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 9: two is this blockade, which is absolutely devastating to Iran.
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 9: If Trump had begun all this by giving a speech
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 9: and says, hey, tomorrow, I'm going to try to blow
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 9: up the Ranian leadership and then in a couple of weeks,
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 9: I'll do a blockade. I mean, it doesn't work. If
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 9: you do that, you can't telegraph your punches, and that
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 9: necessarily means that at a time like this, the American
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 9: people don't have the whole story in front of them
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 9: during an act of war.
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 4: They can't.
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 9: There has to be some level of trust and then accountability.
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 9: If it doesn't work out, then we hold the people
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 9: that did all these things accountable at the ballot box
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 9: and otherwise if they broke any laws.
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let me ask you one more question, because you
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 1: keep you, he's subjects of you, keep jogging thoughts. In
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 1: my mind, from a political sense, the Democrats are doing
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 1: everything they can do to dishearten the American people, to
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 1: make them feel bad about this, to erode whatever polling
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 1: numbers that Trump has right now. I would say his
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 1: overall popularity has taken a little bit of a hit,
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 1: but I think you're looking at the poll numbers, you
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 1: still have decent support across the board when it comes
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 1: for what's happening in a rock. The longer this goes on,
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 1: those numbers are likely to erode. At what point do
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 1: you think that Trump looks at these poll numbers and
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 1: decides that maybe this isn't sustainable anymore.
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 7: Now?
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 9: Sometime in May would be my short answer. I think
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 9: he's got to the end of this month reasonably to
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 9: make this work. If it's still an active hot conflict
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 9: after that, and if there's still a lot of economic damage,
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 9: if the straight h hor moses closed, if gas prices
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 9: are going up, if inflation is hurting, He's going to
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 9: be in a little more precarious of a position roughly
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 9: a month from now than he would be today. But
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 9: then some of that could change, because look at all
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 9: these tankers coming to the United States to get oil.
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 9: If we can ramp up production enough, and if we
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 9: and everybody else can find ways around the strait of
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 9: Hormo's and ways not to be so dependent on it,
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 9: that could be a permanent shift in the global economy.
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 9: That would be good for everybody and very good for America,
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 9: and that would give him something to campaign on later.
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 1: John Hayward, are you as busy now at Brightbart as
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 1: you've ever been?
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 9: I would say so.
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 9: It's been a pretty exciting couple of weeks here.
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 1: That's one thing about with Trump in office, there is
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 1: never a doll moment. John Hayward. I really appreciate you
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 1: taking the time to talk to us this morning. Always
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 1: enjoy when we get someone from Breitbart on. It is
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 1: so great with all the insight and all the knowledge
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 1: and everything else. I can't thank you enough for being
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 1: here this morning. Keep up the great work, and best
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 1: of luck to you on down the road. Thanks very much.
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 4: It was wonderful to talk to you all right there you.
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 1: Go, John Hayward from Breitbart, the National Security Deputy Director.
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 1: Just great stuff right there. And I'm glad I saved
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 1: all the iron stuff right then, because I think after
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 1: listening to that, I certainly hope you have a better
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 1: understanding of what's happening. There's a lot of chaos going on,
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 1: and it's good to separate it all out from time
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 1: to time. Eight twenty six, Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas

• 2:06:08
  Speaker 1: of the month. So I'm looking forward to that as well.
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 1: And there was a great conversation there with John Hayward
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 1: of bright Bart News, the National Security deputy editor, and
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 1: it just, I mean, the guys on top of everything
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 1: that is happening with regards to Iran, and I was
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 1: talking about another website that I look at all the time,
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 1: and that is The New York Post just does a
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 1: great job just covering everything. And they've got to report
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 1: out this morning about the fast attack ships that the
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 1: Revolutionary Guard has in Iran, and the New York Post
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 1: is saying that sixty percent, more than sixty percent of
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 1: these fast attack ships are still intact despite six weeks
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 1: of US israel airstrikes on Iran's navy. This is a
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 1: brand new report. They say America is deestimated to Ron's
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 1: standard Navy sinking more than one hundred and fifty five vessels.
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 1: The ships under the IRGC's control are still largely operational
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 1: and capable of policing key water routes that President Trump
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 1: has vowed to reopen. According to The Wall Street Journal,
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 1: the IRGC's navy is vast, small, speedy, allowing the attack
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 1: vessels to evade satellite detection and hide and underground pens
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 1: along the rocky coast of the twenty mile wide straight.
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 1: I thought it was thirty miles wide, and this says
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 1: it's twenty miles wide anyway. This is according to a
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 1: former British Navy officer in the Persian Gulf. It'll be
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 1: a long time before the US can to all of
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 1: those out. The formation of the fleet was a direct
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 1: result of the so called tank of war of the
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 1: tank of war of the nineteen eighties, when the US
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 1: sank much of Iran's active fleet in a single day.
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 1: Since then, the Islamic Republic has pivoted to an asymmetrical navy,
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 1: with the IRGC task with policing the straight of hornm moves,
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 1: while Iran's conventional navy patrols the waterways in the Gulf.
• 2:08:30
  Speaker 1: Iran previously showed off the speedy boats during live fire
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 1: military drills in February as I show a force against
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 1: the naval built up in the Middle East prior to
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 1: the start of the war. The ships were shown to
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 1: be armed with rocket launchers able to lay mines in
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 1: the strait. The boats capable of moving at high speeds
• 2:08:53
  Speaker 1: as they went in and out of their underground pens.
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 1: So if they've got these underground around pens as they're
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 1: described here, and I guess these little ports that are underground,
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 1: why can't we figure out where those are? It would
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 1: seem to me that once they're out and they're motoring
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 1: around the golf or there in the strait. We'd be
• 2:09:15
  Speaker 1: able to detect that, follow them back to wherever it
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 1: is they hide and get them out of there, they say.
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 1: The IRGC's navy has been able to effectively shut down
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 1: the Strait of horn Moves with underwater mines and drone attacks,
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 1: pausing a key trade route that oversees the transport of
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 1: twenty percent of the world's oil supply. At least fifty
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 1: attacks have been launched against shipping vessels in the Golf
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 1: and in the Strait of horn Moves since the war began.
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 1: There's a strategy is working, says David Roche, former director
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 1: responsible for Persian Golf policy at the Defense departm Trump
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 1: said the US and its allies would be deploying mind
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 1: sweeping ships and destroyers to open up the strait of
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 1: of the more than two thousand ships stuck in the Golf.
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 1: So there's two thousand ships that need to come and
• 2:10:17
  Speaker 1: go through the Strait of Hormuz and we got to
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 1: get it open. And I know, I read gosh, and
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 1: I mean there's so much information that comes out about this.
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 1: We know that there are a tens in the theater
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 1: there and I would imagine that if you got some
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 1: a tens that you can launch from from close by
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 1: that you can be up you can And that's one
• 2:10:40
  Speaker 1: of the things that atens are great at doing, is
• 2:10:43
  Speaker 1: they can loiter for quite some time in a particular area.
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 1: And if you've got these speedboats that are out, these
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 1: Iranian speedboats that are running around and doing god knows what,
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 1: shooting missiles, attacking ships, lay in mines, whatever they're doing,
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 1: seems we should be able to blow them out of
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 1: the water. How many times have we seen the drug
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 1: boats that I know it's not the same thing, but
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 1: how many videos have we seen of the drug boats
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 1: that are fast and then some of these drug boats
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 1: might be faster than these Iranian ships and we were
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 1: able to launch strikes on them, blow them out.
• 2:11:23
  Speaker 3: Of the water.
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 1: Seems to me we should bring some of that capability
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 1: to bear on what is happening in the golf keeping
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 1: pinned down, find out where they're, where they're hiding these
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 1: boats and take them out. So again, just some of
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 1: the just the water hose, the fire hose of information
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 1: and reporting that is coming out of a run and
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 1: I could read, I could read I don't know two
• 2:11:50
  Speaker 1: dozen more stories about what is happening or not happening
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 1: in Iran. The one that is absolutely horrible in the
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 1: New York Post is executions in Iran doubled in twenty
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 1: twenty five, marking a thirty six year high. The Iranian
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 1: regime executed more than sixteen hundred people last year. That
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 1: is a three decade high, not seen since the end
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 1: of the war against Iraq in nineteen eighty nine. So
• 2:12:20
  Speaker 1: when you talk about human rights, when you talk about
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 1: the pope given the United States and the Trump administration
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 1: a hard time talking about war, talking about human rights
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 1: and all the rest of it, Yeah, save some of
• 2:12:37
  Speaker 1: your save some of your words for what's happening with
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 1: these folks and what this regime has been up to.
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 1: Eight thirty eight, little late for a break here, Dan
• 2:12:47
  Speaker 1: Carroll for Brian Thomas on fifty five KRCV talk station.
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 3: It's not just a radio app it's.
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 1: Fifty five krc DE talk station five one three, seven,
• 2:13:03
  Speaker 1: fifty five hundred if you want to jump on board
• 2:13:07
  Speaker 1: before we close things out. Right up close to nine o'clock.
• 2:13:12
  Speaker 1: The again, another great piece out of the New York Post,
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 1: and they're talking about these nuns in New York who
• 2:13:21
  Speaker 1: are butting heads with the state over the whole notion
• 2:13:24
  Speaker 1: of gender ideology. It's amazing how this stuff continues to
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 1: rear its ugly head. The Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne, New York,
• 2:13:36
  Speaker 1: who run the Rosiary Hill Home, which is a Catholic
• 2:13:41
  Speaker 1: hospice for the impoverished, they are filing a lawsuit against
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 1: the state, accusing the state of violating their constitutional rights
• 2:13:53
  Speaker 1: as it relates to a twenty twenty four law that
• 2:13:57
  Speaker 1: requires the facility to affirm gender identity in regard to
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 1: a patient's pronoun room assignment, and restroom usage. The New
• 2:14:10
  Speaker 1: York LGBTQ long term care facility residents built of rights
• 2:14:18
  Speaker 1: sponsored by the Manhattan Borough President, Brad Hollyman when he
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 1: was a state senator. The State Health Department has sent
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 1: letters to the Rosary Hill Home warning about compliance with
• 2:14:33
  Speaker 1: this nonsense. But the idea that anyone can change their
• 2:14:38
  Speaker 1: biological sex is contrary to Catholic belief. Quote. We Sisters
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 1: have taken care of patients from all walks of life,
• 2:14:48
  Speaker 1: ideologies and faith. Mother Marie Edward, General Superior of the
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 1: Hawthorne Dominicans, said in a statement, we treat each patient
• 2:14:59
  Speaker 1: with dignity and Christian clarity. We have never had complaints.
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 1: We cannot implement New York's mandate without violating our Catholic faith.
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 1: Back in early March, the facility wrote to the state
• 2:15:17
  Speaker 1: asking for an exemption to the law, but their request
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 1: was a court met with silence, said their attorney, Martin Nusbaum.
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 1: He notes that the state has given He says, the
• 2:15:34
  Speaker 1: state has given one to facilities run by the Church
• 2:15:38
  Speaker 1: of Christ Scientists, So the state has given an exemption
• 2:15:42
  Speaker 1: to the law to the Church of Christ's scientists. Rosary
• 2:15:46
  Speaker 1: Hill has forty two beds. The sisters separate men and
• 2:15:51
  Speaker 1: women by floors, but under the law, if a biological
• 2:15:56
  Speaker 1: man says he is a woman and demanded to room
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 1: with females, the nuns would have to oblige that, even
• 2:16:06
  Speaker 1: over the objections of any woman who is also This
• 2:16:09
  Speaker 1: is a hospice and people in there are in their
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 1: final days. When you are in your final days and
• 2:16:21
  Speaker 1: you know the end is coming for you, are you
• 2:16:23
  Speaker 1: going to be concerned, Joe? Is that going to be
• 2:16:26
  Speaker 1: something on the top of your list to insist that
• 2:16:30
  Speaker 1: you identify as a female and you want to be
• 2:16:33
  Speaker 1: housed with female patients, or you insist on using the
• 2:16:39
  Speaker 1: female restroom when the time comes. Is that I mean,
• 2:16:44
  Speaker 1: is that really the most important thing at that stage
• 2:16:48
  Speaker 1: of your life? Is that really something that lawmakers need
• 2:16:54
  Speaker 1: to have sway over when you're talking about a hospice,
• 2:17:00
  Speaker 1: when you're talking about people who are ready to meet
• 2:17:03
  Speaker 1: their maker. Well, you know, I'm Joe Politician, New York State,
• 2:17:10
  Speaker 1: and we're going to see to it that your demands
• 2:17:13
  Speaker 1: are acquiesced to come hell or high water, you know,
• 2:17:18
  Speaker 1: maybe drawing your final breath. But we are here to
• 2:17:22
  Speaker 1: ensure that you can do that and you can celebrate
• 2:17:26
  Speaker 1: your sexuality to the very end. What a bunch of crap.
• 2:17:32
  Speaker 1: The facility itself has a unique history. Found that in
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 1: nineteen oh one by Mary Alphonse formerly Rose Hawthorne and Lathorpe.
• 2:17:41
  Speaker 1: She was the daughter of the Scarlet Letter author Nathaniel Hawthorne.
• 2:17:48
  Speaker 1: So this is another lawsuit, and if memory serves, there
• 2:17:53
  Speaker 1: was a lawsuit that a group of nuns brought against
• 2:17:57
  Speaker 1: the Obama administration. Obamacare came out and Obamacare was trying
• 2:18:03
  Speaker 1: to force these nuns to I guess have people that
• 2:18:09
  Speaker 1: work for them forced them to have abortion coverage in
• 2:18:13
  Speaker 1: their healthcare coverage for their employees. And if memory serves,
• 2:18:18
  Speaker 1: I believe the nuns won that lawsuit, and I believe
• 2:18:22
  Speaker 1: they're likely to win this one as well. Eight forty
• 2:18:24
  Speaker 1: six fifty five krs.
• 2:18:26
  Speaker 12: The talk station being prepared is everything.
• 2:18:29
  Speaker 1: But you know, this thing in New York isn't the
• 2:18:40
  Speaker 1: only place where there's just the idiotic state laws that
• 2:18:44
  Speaker 1: are going on. We talked about Massachusetts earlier and how
• 2:18:47
  Speaker 1: they're working on a state law that wants to regulate
• 2:18:51
  Speaker 1: how far you can drive your car. They say, you know,
• 2:18:54
  Speaker 1: we are not we're not really interested in, you know,
• 2:18:58
  Speaker 1: telling people how many miles they can drive. But we
• 2:19:00
  Speaker 1: got to cut a missions. We've got to do something
• 2:19:02
  Speaker 1: for the environment, and so we got to look at that.
• 2:19:06
  Speaker 1: But you know, that's where it's going. And then of
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 1: course these nuns in New York, let me say, I
• 2:19:13
  Speaker 1: want to get to the part here where it talks
• 2:19:15
  Speaker 1: about their lawsuit. A spokesperson for the Department of Health
• 2:19:18
  Speaker 1: in New York said that while they don't comment on
• 2:19:21
  Speaker 1: pending ongoing litigation, the Department of Health is committed to
• 2:19:26
  Speaker 1: following state law, which provides nursting home residents certain rights
• 2:19:30
  Speaker 1: and protections against discrimination. Do you have anyone think that
• 2:19:35
  Speaker 1: these nuns are discriminating against people. They are serving the
• 2:19:39
  Speaker 1: poorest of the poor, They are providing them care and
• 2:19:44
  Speaker 1: dignity in their final days. But yet these politicians want
• 2:19:49
  Speaker 1: to come in and say, well, they're discriminating because they
• 2:19:53
  Speaker 1: don't want to go along with gender identity or expression.
• 2:19:57
  Speaker 1: And again, not a single person has raised this concern
• 2:20:03
  Speaker 1: as it relates to the work that these nuns are doing.
• 2:20:06
  Speaker 1: No one in the family, no one who has been
• 2:20:09
  Speaker 1: a patient, there, no one. The implications are so much
• 2:20:15
  Speaker 1: greater than whether to utter the words he or she
• 2:20:18
  Speaker 1: The nun's lawsuit states indeed, to demand that a Catholic
• 2:20:23
  Speaker 1: deny another sex as to require him or her to
• 2:20:26
  Speaker 1: affirm another religious worldview. So it is just anyone who
• 2:20:38
  Speaker 1: could stand up and support the heavy hand of government
• 2:20:43
  Speaker 1: coming down on the Rosary Hill Hospice and the care
• 2:20:49
  Speaker 1: that these nuns provide to the poor, the indigent, those
• 2:20:55
  Speaker 1: who are in their final days. It's just absolutely, it
• 2:21:00
  Speaker 1: is beyond despicable. What else there's a so we I
• 2:21:06
  Speaker 1: didn't have a chance to get to this one. In California,
• 2:21:10
  Speaker 1: lawmakers are working on something that would seek to shut
• 2:21:16
  Speaker 1: down Nick Shirley. Of course, Nick Shirley is the independent
• 2:21:19
  Speaker 1: journalist who has been exposing much of the Medicaid subsidies
• 2:21:23
  Speaker 1: and the fraud in California, largely perpetrated by illegal aliens.
• 2:21:30
  Speaker 1: And it turns out this has been very demonstrating, devastating
• 2:21:35
  Speaker 1: to Democrats. So in California they're working on they're ready
• 2:21:43
  Speaker 1: to do introduce the Stop the Nick Shirley Act. Let's
• 2:21:48
  Speaker 1: see the investigation done by Nick Shirley is apparently the
• 2:21:55
  Speaker 1: twenty one arrests associated with Medicaid fraud. This this branded
• 2:22:01
  Speaker 1: taxpayer theft is ever present within Blue states or Democrats,
• 2:22:05
  Speaker 1: and it says migrants, but I'm going to say illegals
• 2:22:08
  Speaker 1: seem to work hand in hand. But the real giveaway
• 2:22:11
  Speaker 1: is the fact Democrats, NGOs and leftist activist groups respond
• 2:22:15
  Speaker 1: with such hostility. And so California is now trying to
• 2:22:20
  Speaker 1: pass a bill that would criminalize investigative journalism with misdemeanors
• 2:22:26
  Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars fines and imprisonment and taking down the content.
• 2:22:34
  Speaker 1: Under AB twenty six, twenty four, government funded entities like
• 2:22:38
  Speaker 1: the Somali Learning daycare centers would be protected from being
• 2:22:42
  Speaker 1: exposed if they operate inside California. So you've got California
• 2:22:49
  Speaker 1: lawmakers out there who are seeking to protect the people
• 2:22:54
  Speaker 1: who are engaging in the fraud, and they want to
• 2:22:58
  Speaker 1: punish people like Shirley who are out there looking into it,
• 2:23:02
  Speaker 1: uncovering and reporting on the fraud. I mean, it is
• 2:23:09
  Speaker 1: just as backwards as it can possibly be. And again,
• 2:23:14
  Speaker 1: I hope there's no Democrat state lawmakers or members of citizen,
• 2:23:17
  Speaker 1: any city council who are listening to this, because we
• 2:23:21
  Speaker 1: know how those bad ideas like to travel. That's it
• 2:23:24
  Speaker 1: for me. I'm out of here, Joe. My understanding is
• 2:23:27
  Speaker 1: Brian Thomas is back tomorrow, so we are all looking
• 2:23:30
  Speaker 1: forward to that. Joe Strucker, thank you for everything, thank
• 2:23:33
  Speaker 1: you for listening, and we'll see you next time when
• 2:23:35
  Speaker 1: I get to sit in
