Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: Five oh five fifty five KRC the talk station Tuesday.
- 0:15Speaker 2: Some sense.
- 0:20Speaker 3: Will vacation and that's the way.
- 0:28Speaker 1: The news goes. It is indeed the way the news goes,
- 0:30Speaker 1: whether you like it or not. I've got no control
- 0:32Speaker 1: over it, which is true. And good morning, everybody. Appreciate
- 0:36Speaker 1: you tuning into fifty five KRC Morning Show. You can
- 0:38Speaker 1: reach me if you want to call in and talk
- 0:40Speaker 1: about something. I'm kind of looking at the uh, the
- 0:43Speaker 1: the the general parameters of this agreement we've reached with
- 0:46Speaker 1: the Iranians not really knowing a whole lot about it,
- 0:49Speaker 1: and constantly reminded reviewing all of the articles involved in
- 0:54Speaker 1: this negotiation and this so called signed agreement, the details
- 0:59Speaker 1: have not yet been really so I'm just like, all right, anyway,
- 1:03Speaker 1: we'll get to that shortly U five three seven four
- 1:06Speaker 1: nine fifty five eight hundred and eighty two three talk
- 1:08Speaker 1: pound five fifteen hundred eighteen and defence real quickly. Though
- 1:10Speaker 1: it has resulted, regardless of whatever it means or doesn't mean,
- 1:14Speaker 1: some are calling the Iranians the victors in this some
- 1:17Speaker 1: I think that's the only way you can really come
- 1:19Speaker 1: out on it. But if you're looking for a lower
- 1:22Speaker 1: price of gas, it's already starting to show up. I
- 1:25Speaker 1: just checked the four five one four to zero area code,
- 1:27Speaker 1: which is my general neighborhood out in the Loveland Simms
- 1:30Speaker 1: Township area. If you go to the Meyer or the Thorntons,
- 1:32Speaker 1: you can get gas for three dollars and nineteen cents
- 1:35Speaker 1: a gallon according to the gas Buddy. Anyway, the Kruger's
- 1:38Speaker 1: got it for three fifty three. Fifty three sixty seems
- 1:40Speaker 1: to about to be about the average, and that's obviously
- 1:42Speaker 1: a lot lower, although a lot of areas and a
- 1:45Speaker 1: lot of stations are still showing it right at about
- 1:47Speaker 1: four bucks. So if I had based on all the
- 1:49Speaker 1: zip codes I read in the general Tri State area
- 1:52Speaker 1: northern Kentucky, I checked Covington out. I think Covington's at
- 1:57Speaker 1: three seventy five. Lot of places at right at three
- 2:01Speaker 1: ninety nine, a little bit over four bucks. So you know,
- 2:03Speaker 1: there's some deals to be had out there, but there's
- 2:06Speaker 1: some relief, and it seems to me that, you know,
- 2:08Speaker 1: in my final analysis boiling everything down, Donald Trump wanted
- 2:12Speaker 1: to get any deal he could get in order to
- 2:13Speaker 1: resolve this thing so we could get lower gas prices
- 2:16Speaker 1: before November. The question is will that help? I can
- 2:20Speaker 1: only pray that it does. I mean, if that's how
- 2:22Speaker 1: short sighted we all are, and the price of gasoline
- 2:24Speaker 1: is the definitive point on whether or not you vote
- 2:28Speaker 1: R or D. I think we're in a sorry state
- 2:32Speaker 1: of affairs. That's the only way I can resolve that
- 2:36Speaker 1: in my mind. Okay, I keep going back to this
- 2:39Speaker 1: whole point. You're going to vote for for the bat
- 2:41Speaker 1: crap insanity of the Democrat Party because you're paying about
- 2:47Speaker 1: twenty five, thirty five, maybe fifty cents even a buck
- 2:51Speaker 1: more gallon for a short period of time, and you
- 2:54Speaker 1: gotta remember under But you know, it's kind of funny. Hackeen.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Jeffrey's got his lunch dit to him the other day.
- 2:58Speaker 1: But he was talking on oh some morning show, or
- 3:02Speaker 1: rather a Good Day New York who was when he's
- 3:04Speaker 1: being interviewed by someone named Zanna Sado and Jesus, gas
- 3:08Speaker 1: prices were up under Obama and Biden too, right, didn't
- 3:12Speaker 1: we have gas prices over five bucks? The answer is yes,
- 3:15Speaker 1: you did. Gas Prices reached their highest recorded national average
- 3:20Speaker 1: at five dollars and two cents per gallon under Joe Biden.
- 3:24Speaker 1: So we survived that, and it came down. It came
- 3:27Speaker 1: down a lot. I mean, hell, people were paying less
- 3:29Speaker 1: than three bucks a gallon there for a while. Boy
- 3:31Speaker 1: wasn't that glorious? And it felt like we rolled back
- 3:34Speaker 1: the clock a decade. Gas prices under Trump peaked last
- 3:37Speaker 1: month at over four dollars and fifty cents per gallon
- 3:39Speaker 1: by all reporting. It may have paid more than that,
- 3:42Speaker 1: but it's you know, it's temporary. What you get if
- 3:45Speaker 1: you're voting for the Democrats is permanence. You're never going
- 3:48Speaker 1: to get a permanent low price of gas under apparently
- 3:50Speaker 1: any administrations. It's one of the reasons we had the
- 3:52Speaker 1: Strategic Petroleum Reserve. It's there as an emergency apply for
- 3:57Speaker 1: major disruptions caused by Check one war, natural disasters, and
- 4:04Speaker 1: severe shortages. And I think we've got the severe shortage
- 4:06Speaker 1: part pretty much ironed out, considering we've now decided to
- 4:10Speaker 1: tap into our own resources and not pursuing windmills and
- 4:14Speaker 1: solar panels. We all still need gas, that's right. War
- 4:19Speaker 1: that's obviously a possibility, you know, I know Donald Trump
- 4:22Speaker 1: started this one. It's the progative of the commander in
- 4:25Speaker 1: chief to do it, like it, hate it. Thought it
- 4:27Speaker 1: was going to work out, turned out. Maybe it didn't
- 4:29Speaker 1: turn out to your your expectations. Maybe you think there
- 4:32Speaker 1: was some strategic benefit we gained from in this exercise.
- 4:35Speaker 1: And let's face it, it's not over. I mean, we're
- 4:38Speaker 1: just now entering into a negotiation period. The only thing
- 4:42Speaker 1: that apparently has been resolved here is that we have
- 4:45Speaker 1: entered into a cease fire with the Iranians. And I'm
- 4:48Speaker 1: kind of laughing about that, because how long were we
- 4:51Speaker 1: in a so called cease fire during which missiles are
- 4:53Speaker 1: being chucked back and forth by both parties? Right A
- 4:56Speaker 1: long time. I've been joking about that since the ceasefire
- 4:58Speaker 1: was first declared. So you've got a written piece of
- 5:01Speaker 1: paper now that we haven't seen the terms of which
- 5:03Speaker 1: suggests that that there's a ceasefire, the straight of horror
- 5:06Speaker 1: moves will be open, says Trump. The Iranians still talking
- 5:09Speaker 1: about charging tolls. Yeah, but they don't call it tolls.
- 5:15Speaker 1: It's fees or something. Yeah, okay, or well, thank you
- 5:19Speaker 1: very much. Just label it something else and then it's
- 5:22Speaker 1: no longer a toll, but it's still money being paid
- 5:25Speaker 1: by shipping companies to the Iranians Rudians apparently going to
- 5:28Speaker 1: get their economy open back up too, because part of
- 5:30Speaker 1: this agreement to open the Straight of Horror Moves is, yes,
- 5:33Speaker 1: we lift the blockade on their ports. Welcome to economic activity.
- 5:37Speaker 1: You know, the Straight of Hormor Moves being open benefits
- 5:39Speaker 1: the Irradians too. Let's not lose sight of that. I know,
- 5:42Speaker 1: the whole world's pissed off. And of course we've struck.
- 5:44Speaker 1: We've dealt with some inflationary realities of the straight being closed.
- 5:48Speaker 1: That's a fact. This is the pain that goes along
- 5:51Speaker 1: with the war. And hopefully were all hoping in the
- 5:53Speaker 1: outset that maybe we would get regime change in Irana,
- 5:56Speaker 1: the world being much much much much better place for it.
- 6:00Speaker 1: I guess we tried swinging a miss anyway. So and
- 6:10Speaker 1: I will even double down on something else I've mentioned
- 6:12Speaker 1: a thousand million times, and the high gas prices. It
- 6:16Speaker 1: was the desired result of this whole green thing that
- 6:19Speaker 1: we have gone through that now no one even talks
- 6:22Speaker 1: about anymore. Yeah, right, remember al Gore, Remember Barack Obama,
- 6:27Speaker 1: the price of gas league will necessarily increase. He's letting
- 6:30Speaker 1: you know that their policies going back to my point
- 6:32Speaker 1: about voting for me in November, because gas prices is high.
- 6:35Speaker 1: Their policies were enshrined in law, their carbon offsets, and
- 6:40Speaker 1: there you know the cost of exhaling, and and you
- 6:43Speaker 1: know subsidizing your purchase of an electric vehicle, those of
- 6:46Speaker 1: you who can afford to buy one. Right, all of
- 6:49Speaker 1: that enshrined in law. You can't just walk away from that.
- 6:53Speaker 1: You need a new administration to repeal that kind of thing.
- 6:57Speaker 1: The gas prices will do what the gas prices do
- 7:00Speaker 1: regardless of administration, as long as the markets are open
- 7:03Speaker 1: supply and demand. So we've done a really good job
- 7:07Speaker 1: of increasing supply, and I with the with my I
- 7:10Speaker 1: guess I'm really troubled about the Strategic Petrollum Oil Reserve
- 7:13Speaker 1: because I was critical about Joe Biden doing it for
- 7:16Speaker 1: his political advantage. He lowered, he's released all kinds of
- 7:20Speaker 1: oil from the Strategic Petroleum Oil Reserve. We are now
- 7:23Speaker 1: at the lowest level we have been, I think since
- 7:26Speaker 1: the thing got filled up in the first place nineteen
- 7:28Speaker 1: eighty three. And why has it been done well? The
- 7:34Speaker 1: Trump administration, like the Biden administration, released the crud in
- 7:37Speaker 1: order to keep the energy costs in check for you,
- 7:41Speaker 1: the American consumer. Now, is it okay that he did it?
- 7:46Speaker 1: When we were I was critical. You can maybe you
- 7:48Speaker 1: weren't personally critical of Joe Biden for doing it, but
- 7:52Speaker 1: I always thought it was for strategic benefit, you know,
- 7:54Speaker 1: will my god, we need to keep that in check
- 7:56Speaker 1: just in case. Well, you know, we have a really
- 7:59Speaker 1: catastrophic event. Biden's argument, Well, you know we had COVID.
- 8:04Speaker 1: Who's to say we don't have another COVID down the road. Well,
- 8:06Speaker 1: right now, the Strategic Petroleum More Reserve only has three
- 8:08Speaker 1: hundred and forty million barrels in it. At its peak,
- 8:11Speaker 1: it had seven hundred million, and the latest drawdown the
- 8:15Speaker 1: third largest on record. So now we're at the lowest
- 8:19Speaker 1: level since eighty three. I don't view that as a
- 8:22Speaker 1: good thing, but it clearly was done to, you know,
- 8:26Speaker 1: soften the blow to you and I. As a consequence
- 8:28Speaker 1: of the shutting down of the Strait of Horror moves.
- 8:31Speaker 1: So the HORM moves straight to be back open. Apparently
- 8:33Speaker 1: by Friday, the boat traffic will keep going back and forth.
- 8:36Speaker 1: The runians, of course, economy will start booming. Our sanctions.
- 8:39Speaker 1: That's a big question mark, swirling question Mark, they got
- 8:42Speaker 1: the negotiate that they got sixty days to do that,
- 8:45Speaker 1: and I think we can argue we should expect an
- 8:47Speaker 1: extension followed by another extension. Anyhow, we'll talk about that
- 8:55Speaker 1: with Daniel Davis. Of course, since it is Tuesday, that
- 8:57Speaker 1: Daniel Davis Deep Dive with retired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis
- 9:00Speaker 1: with his analysis of Iran, preceded by the inside scoop
- 9:03Speaker 1: of Breitbart News Today, the return of the International Letter
- 9:06Speaker 1: to Francis Martel, who will also share his take on
- 9:09Speaker 1: the latest from Iran, preceded by at seven thirty Tom Zawastowski,
- 9:13Speaker 1: We the People Convention dot orgs. Tom returns he's going
- 9:16Speaker 1: to be talking about a Higway data centers. It's a
- 9:19Speaker 1: topic that he's been all over, so we'll talk with
- 9:22Speaker 1: him at seven thirty, preceeded by the return of Signal
- 9:26Speaker 1: ninety nine, who's going to give us an earful about
- 9:28Speaker 1: this so called analysis about the police pulling over black
- 9:33Speaker 1: people more than white people. Campaign zero and even one
- 9:37Speaker 1: of the things I saw, and I'll give Fox the
- 9:39Speaker 1: nineteen to Alexis Martin credit for bringing this to my attention.
- 9:42Speaker 1: At the request of the Hamilton County Public Defender's Office
- 9:47Speaker 1: Campaign zero, which is this outside entity that reviewed all
- 9:51Speaker 1: these hundreds of thousands of quote unquote contact cards that
- 9:54Speaker 1: the police were forced to fill out as a consequence
- 9:56Speaker 1: of the collaborative agreement. They're the ones that did at
- 9:58Speaker 1: the outside, but they did that the hest of the
- 10:00Speaker 1: Hamilton County Public Defender's Office. I'm hoping Signal ninety nine
- 10:04Speaker 1: can answer that question, like by what authority can the
- 10:07Speaker 1: Hemlon County Public Defender's Office get some outside empity to
- 10:10Speaker 1: review all this? And what are the Hamlin County Prosecutor's
- 10:13Speaker 1: Office what were they planning on doing with it? I mean,
- 10:16Speaker 1: can you defend a client who's been legitimately pulled over
- 10:19Speaker 1: for some reason like a tail light being broken or
- 10:22Speaker 1: some other traffic offense. If the police are using race
- 10:25Speaker 1: as a reason to pull people over, then there wouldn't
- 10:30Speaker 1: be anything there would there? This is my point. If
- 10:34Speaker 1: you're pulled over and you're issued a citation, right, and
- 10:39Speaker 1: maybe that's the thing that's absent from these contact cards.
- 10:42Speaker 1: Perhaps someone was pulled over but there was no ensuing
- 10:46Speaker 1: citation issued. And if there was no incitation issued, then
- 10:50Speaker 1: why would the Public Defender's Office ever be involved in
- 10:53Speaker 1: it unless the person was going to defend him or
- 10:55Speaker 1: herself in court for the ticket that that person was issued.
- 11:00Speaker 1: So I'm kind of got that spinning around in my head.
- 11:03Speaker 1: Well my head's kind of spin it anyway, but that
- 11:05Speaker 1: just happens anyway. Plenty to talk about with signal ninety nine,
- 11:09Speaker 1: and of course outspoken in terms of her criticism of
- 11:14Speaker 1: well city council, the mayor, the city manager. And guess
- 11:23Speaker 1: what's getting two million dollars in the city budget right
- 11:29Speaker 1: the Farmer Music Center. Screw the roads. I give you
- 11:33Speaker 1: the details on that coming up. That's gonna be a realo.
- 11:35Speaker 1: Maybe we can get her to comment on that and anyway,
- 11:36Speaker 1: she'll be doing in the program at seven oh five again,
- 11:38Speaker 1: feel free to give me a call. I'll be out tomorrow.
- 11:40Speaker 1: Dan Carroll's cover in form me got an event tonight.
- 11:42Speaker 1: I'm gonna be up late. I need sleep in order
- 11:44Speaker 1: to do the show. And you know, even after a
- 11:47Speaker 1: good night's sleep, you can see I can stumble around
- 11:49Speaker 1: doing the show. I'll pep right back after these brief words.
- 11:52Speaker 1: This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio Station by twenty

- 12:11Speaker 1: Check out Money Money with Brian James, and of course
- 12:13Speaker 1: the Smither event every Monday with Christopher Smithman. And I
- 12:16Speaker 1: appreciate his commentary and his friendship, and I wish he
- 12:19Speaker 1: was on right now to talk about the budget two
- 12:23Speaker 1: million dollars for the Farmer Music Center whichever the thing
- 12:26Speaker 1: was being built. They didn't need the city's money. I
- 12:29Speaker 1: don't know what the hell have to have. Parlvalla was saying,
- 12:31Speaker 1: it was good to get me eight million dollars. Well,
- 12:32Speaker 1: let's make it too. Meanwhile, meanwhile, Countsman Mark Jeffery is
- 12:37Speaker 1: the only one that seems to be a voice of
- 12:38Speaker 1: reason on city council. It's like, dude, what about the
- 12:41Speaker 1: roads currently budget says apparently there's there's enough to repay
- 12:45Speaker 1: seventy lane miles in the current budget. Great, it's supposed
- 12:49Speaker 1: to be one hundred. The target was one hundred. They
- 12:53Speaker 1: don't have enough money. That a thirty million dollar hole
- 12:55Speaker 1: they had to deal with. So I guess thirty lane
- 12:57Speaker 1: miles of roads adding to the existing outside standing list
- 13:00Speaker 1: of lane miles that haven't been addressed over the past
- 13:04Speaker 1: how many years. It's okay, we got another music venue coming.
- 13:10Speaker 1: Let's get to the phones. Jeff, thank you for calling
- 13:12Speaker 1: this morning. Welcome to the Morning Show.
- 13:15Speaker 4: Hey, good morning, Brian. Yeah, speaking of the Farmers Center,
- 13:18Speaker 4: it's gonna be the same size as Riverbend Center. The
- 13:23Speaker 4: only difference is it's going to be a higher elevation.
- 13:28Speaker 4: They had way too many bands complaining about getting flooded
- 13:31Speaker 4: out playing River Bend.
- 13:34Speaker 1: Is that really the problem with Riverbend? Yes, sir, I listen,
- 13:39Speaker 1: that's news to me, and I'm not disagreeing with you.
- 13:41Speaker 1: Maybe that is the reality. But the only time, I
- 13:44Speaker 1: guess I've been to Riverbend quite a few times over
- 13:46Speaker 1: the years. I've seen hundreds and hundreds of concerts in
- 13:49Speaker 1: my life, and I remember a couple of them getting
- 13:52Speaker 1: rained on and yes, laugh at me. But back in
- 13:54Speaker 1: the eighties when Huey Lewis was a thing, we had
- 13:56Speaker 1: a bunch of people that went and it just poured down.
- 14:00Speaker 1: I don't remember the band stopping though, they just kept playing.
- 14:02Speaker 1: I don't remember anything about a flood that kept any
- 14:04Speaker 1: band from playing, So I.
- 14:06Speaker 4: Remember I remember Todd Rudgren, Yeah, playing about Mosquitos.
- 14:10Speaker 1: Mosquitos. Yeah, they're not getting rid of the river, are they, Jeff.
- 14:15Speaker 4: It'll be the same distance from the river, the higher elevation.
- 14:19Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 14:20Speaker 1: Well, you got that gorgeous Amphitheater or whatever it is
- 14:24Speaker 1: over in northern Kentucky that the people can go to.
- 14:26Speaker 1: I've seen a couple of bands there that's indoors and
- 14:30Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about flooding there.
- 14:32Speaker 4: So hey, there's always there's always Ludlow Garage in Clifton.
- 14:36Speaker 1: Amen. That's a comfortable venue too, isn't it Jeff? Yes, sir,
- 14:40Speaker 1: they got the big lounge chaares and you can actually
- 14:42Speaker 1: get a cocktail delivered to your seat at that place,
- 14:44Speaker 1: if I recall correctly. Yes, and the Taft Theater right
- 14:50Speaker 1: of course, Ben Fold's playing tonight.
- 14:55Speaker 5: You have down there.
- 14:57Speaker 1: Yes, Oh, Jeff, you didn't expect to get out on
- 15:00Speaker 1: that road. But thank you for enlightening me. So wait
- 15:02Speaker 1: a minute. The justification then, for a multi million dollar
- 15:06Speaker 1: new music venue is that occasionally flooding prevents music events
- 15:13Speaker 1: from happening at Riverbend. Okay, priorities, folks, priorities. Anyway, rather
- 15:24Speaker 1: than pave the roads in the City of Cincinnati because
- 15:28Speaker 1: of the occasional flooding of River Bend, we need to
- 15:32Speaker 1: build an adjacent massive music venue slightly hired elevation, rather
- 15:40Speaker 1: than pave roads that people use every single damn day
- 15:43Speaker 1: and which usually I would guess in the vast majority
- 15:45Speaker 1: of cases never get flooded out. Does anybody listening to
- 15:49Speaker 1: audience have a road in their neighborhood that is covered
- 15:51Speaker 1: by that is the responsibility of the City of Cincinnati
- 15:55Speaker 1: that has not been paved. Well, thank Councilmember Jefferies for
- 16:01Speaker 1: at least his effort to get it paid. He said,
- 16:04Speaker 1: our roads must be a priority for investment. Cincinnatians are
- 16:08Speaker 1: begging to fix the roads. Close quote council Member Mark Jeffries,
- 16:16Speaker 1: mayor I have to have per of all and the
- 16:18Speaker 1: seven other councilmembers, you know, jam michel lemon Kearney was
- 16:21Speaker 1: the only one that voted against this two million dollars
- 16:23Speaker 1: allocation of Farmer, but she had her designs on some
- 16:26Speaker 1: other project. She wanted to establish a Rise City Fund.
- 16:33Speaker 1: Establish a Rise City Fund. I don't know what that is,
- 16:36Speaker 1: basically for housing and other assistance in the city's most
- 16:39Speaker 1: undeserved neighborhoods. Getting that's a reporting from that's enquire Patrician Newbery.
- 16:47Speaker 1: But see there's add that to the list. We have
- 16:49Speaker 1: a list. I have a list, You have a list,
- 16:50Speaker 1: and seven council members apparently on their list numero uno
- 16:53Speaker 1: at least rather than pay roads, rather than I guess
- 16:59Speaker 1: how housing and other assistants in the city's most undeserved neighborhoods.
- 17:04Speaker 1: Just scratching my head over how much? How many houses
- 17:07Speaker 1: can you build with one point seven million dollars? Yet
- 17:10Speaker 1: go ahead and try to do the math on that
- 17:11Speaker 1: basically nothing. I'm just beside myself. Hey, Joe, twenty five
- 17:18Speaker 1: percent of the registered voters voted, and basically eighty five
- 17:21Speaker 1: to one hundred percent all voted for these chuckleheads. You
- 17:25Speaker 1: know what, I've bet a whole lot of them have
- 17:28Speaker 1: a bad road in their neighborhood of the yard that
- 17:30Speaker 1: they got to drive overall. Well, you know what, here's
- 17:33Speaker 1: the other point, Joe, to mention this to you while
- 17:36Speaker 1: you're driving to see your non flooded concert at the
- 17:39Speaker 1: Farmer Music Center. You can see if you can get
- 17:41Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnati have your car realigned. Five twenty
- 17:44Speaker 1: six fifty five KRC the talk station. Feel free to
- 17:47Speaker 1: give me a call. I'll be back after these brief
- 17:48Speaker 1: words with other local stories.
- 17:50Speaker 6: Fifty five KARC the Talk Station, Sippy Tuesday five three
- 17:55Speaker 6: seven four nine fifty five hundred eight two three talk
- 17:58Speaker 6: FO five fifty.
- 17:59Speaker 1: On eighteend phones. Do a lot of local stories here
- 18:01Speaker 1: in front of me. I'm still scratching my head with
- 18:02Speaker 1: a stupid allocation from the City of Cincinnati. Man, somebody
- 18:06Speaker 1: makes sense of that, please, because it was being built anyway.
- 18:09Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Tom, Welcome to the show man. Happy to
- 18:11Speaker 1: hear from you.
- 18:13Speaker 7: Hey, good morning. Yeah, I know the guy running the JAVA,
- 18:17Speaker 7: running the whole thing out there for I think mess
- 18:20Speaker 7: re construction too. Yeah, it's been well underway for quite
- 18:24Speaker 7: some time. I don't know. I don't know Cincinnati. Is
- 18:28Speaker 7: they wanting to get their name on the side of
- 18:30Speaker 7: the building or something. I don't know, But it doesn't
- 18:32Speaker 7: make sense.
- 18:34Speaker 1: I mean, every all the report, everybody agrees that it
- 18:38Speaker 1: was going to be built even without the City of
- 18:41Speaker 1: Cincinnati's money. Let me read this article. Some council members
- 18:45Speaker 1: like them and like the mayor, called them the money
- 18:47Speaker 1: an investment because they claim it's going to provide admission
- 18:51Speaker 1: and income tax. Well guess what, since it's within the
- 18:53Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati, wouldn't it provide that anyway?
- 18:57Speaker 7: Duh? Yeah, yeah, sounds it sounds like you need to
- 19:00Speaker 7: find out exactly who's pocket.
- 19:04Speaker 1: Are you suggesting something untoward is going on to I wouldn't.
- 19:09Speaker 7: Dare not from this, not from this administration and this council.
- 19:16Speaker 7: Had you come on these guys, they're all these are
- 19:18Speaker 7: They're all always on me, up and up and straightforward
- 19:21Speaker 7: with us.
- 19:21Speaker 1: Yes, they can't pay for what they've already bitten off.
- 19:24Speaker 1: They will not maintain an upkeep of some of the
- 19:27Speaker 1: most important infrastructure we've got, like roads, and so they're
- 19:30Speaker 1: going to throw up parent comparatively paltry some two million
- 19:34Speaker 1: dollars which might pave a road or to at this
- 19:36Speaker 1: stupid Well I don't know if the project is stupid,
- 19:38Speaker 1: I'll wait and see, but throw money at it for
- 19:42Speaker 1: no apparent reason out loud. Maybe that does. I think
- 19:45Speaker 1: legitimately calling a question needs to be closer scrutinized what's
- 19:49Speaker 1: going on behind the scenes. Where did this ask originally
- 19:52Speaker 1: of eight million dollars even come from that has been
- 19:55Speaker 1: pared down to two means we're supposed to swallow it
- 19:58Speaker 1: and say, oh, okay, then it's not Hey.
- 20:01Speaker 7: In political terms, that means we just saved six million dollars.
- 20:04Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll call that a victory. They may as well
- 20:07Speaker 1: have said, originally it was thirty million dollars and look
- 20:10Speaker 1: we got it, found it too, all right, whatever, Yay,
- 20:15Speaker 1: we're so lucky.
- 20:16Speaker 7: Hey, Then I hear you reading the one lady's comes
- 20:21Speaker 7: the one council members' comments saying, I think you're saying undeserved.
- 20:26Speaker 7: Are you trying to say underserved? Or is she really
- 20:30Speaker 7: saying undeserved?
- 20:31Speaker 1: No, underserved. If I said undeserved, you know, and that
- 20:34Speaker 1: may be leftover chemo. I don't know. I'm looking for
- 20:36Speaker 1: an excuse.
- 20:37Speaker 7: Just making sure. Well, I have to take some issue
- 20:40Speaker 7: with this because underserved. Now, you drive through drive through
- 20:45Speaker 7: any any city, Okay, I'm out here in Indianapolis, and
- 20:48Speaker 7: my wife and I will go driving through looking for
- 20:51Speaker 7: some restaurant or whatever. You can kind of tell that
- 20:54Speaker 7: you're in a neighborhood where people give a crap about
- 20:57Speaker 7: what their neighborhood looks like. You can you can just see.
- 21:01Speaker 7: I mean we're you know, drive around up here in
- 21:02Speaker 7: Carmel and Fisher, Oh, well up in the north side.
- 21:05Speaker 7: I mean we're car that's that's like, that's.
- 21:08Speaker 1: Like our Indian Hill. Yeah. I was just gonna say
- 21:11Speaker 1: exactly so.
- 21:12Speaker 7: And I mean, people care, and it's not it's not
- 21:16Speaker 7: that the government of that community is serving them. They
- 21:20Speaker 7: are serving themselves. They they are, they are They give
- 21:24Speaker 7: a crap about what their community looks like. They care
- 21:27Speaker 7: about the parks that they have up there and making
- 21:30Speaker 7: sure things look nice. And then you go in other
- 21:32Speaker 7: areas like, clearly the people here don't give a crap.
- 21:35Speaker 7: And if you're look, if you're going to vote for
- 21:39Speaker 7: these knuckleheads, you call them chuckleheads. We have other terms
- 21:42Speaker 7: we can't use on the air form. If you're going
- 21:44Speaker 7: to vote for these people to stay in power, to
- 21:48Speaker 7: continue to run the city of Cincinnati, event clearly you
- 21:51Speaker 7: do not care about the city of Cincinnati. I don't
- 21:54Speaker 7: know what it is you care about. Maybe it's just yourself.
- 21:57Speaker 7: Maybe you think you're getting something out of this, but
- 21:59Speaker 7: it's not it's not benefiting the city as a whole,
- 22:03Speaker 7: and really, frankly, it's not benefiting you at all, unless
- 22:07Speaker 7: it's just you want to be lazy and just have
- 22:09Speaker 7: stuff given to you being served, you want to be served. No,
- 22:12Speaker 7: the attitude should be what can I do to serve
- 22:15Speaker 7: the community around me? How can we make our community better?
- 22:20Speaker 7: And that that should be the way it thinks underserved, undeserved,
- 22:24Speaker 7: whatever this is. This is bs. You know, figure out
- 22:27Speaker 7: a way where you can serve your community, and you'll
- 22:30Speaker 7: find out the more people that have that attitude, the
- 22:32Speaker 7: better the community will be. And oh and by the way,
- 22:35Speaker 7: the best way you can serve your community is don't
- 22:38Speaker 7: vote Democrat. See you knew?
- 22:41Speaker 1: Oh yeah, all right, But I don't care if the
- 22:44Speaker 1: statement is just exist independent of anything you're talking about, Tom,
- 22:48Speaker 1: I think it's an important message that you convey almost
- 22:50Speaker 1: every single day or in the morning show. And also
- 22:53Speaker 1: welcome the levity that we often engage in when we're talking.
- 22:57Speaker 1: That's why I love hearing from callers, whether we engage
- 23:00Speaker 1: in levity or not get a discussion going, which is
- 23:03Speaker 1: always why I mentioned the fund over five, one, three, seven, four,
- 23:05Speaker 1: nine to fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eight two
- 23:07Speaker 1: three talk pound five fifty on eight and T funds.
- 23:09Speaker 1: I do have a stack is stupid, although I kind
- 23:11Speaker 1: of feel like we're already treading that water right now,
- 23:13Speaker 1: stick around me right back. This is fifty five KARC
- 23:15Speaker 1: an iHeartRadio station, the detalk station five forty fifty five
- 23:23Speaker 1: KRC Detalk station. Yeah, I'm just stuck with this money
- 23:28Speaker 1: for Farmer Music Center. It is stupid. It is It
- 23:30Speaker 1: qualifies all day long for the stack is stupid. And
- 23:33Speaker 1: you know, I was kind of thinking about Jen Michelle
- 23:35Speaker 1: lemon Kearny, who wanted one point seven million dollars. Rather
- 23:37Speaker 1: than going to Farmer Music Center, she wanted for this
- 23:40Speaker 1: Rise City fund. Apparently there's a big development coming three
- 23:43Speaker 1: hundred apartments with first floor retail space in Burnett Square,
- 23:48Speaker 1: eighty seven million dollar project. Now that sounds me and
- 23:51Speaker 1: I don't know anything about the project, sounds me like
- 23:53Speaker 1: apparently there is already funding for that one, but she
- 23:55Speaker 1: wanted to throw an extra one point seven million dollars
- 23:57Speaker 1: at it. Quote for housing. Of course, that relates to
- 24:01Speaker 1: the Burnett Square project and other assistance in the city's
- 24:05Speaker 1: most underserved Tom neighborhoods. Now do the math on that.
- 24:13Speaker 1: I just Searchzillo dot com for Abindale. There are our
- 24:18Speaker 1: houses available in Abondale on Zilla for fifty thousand dollars.
- 24:21Speaker 1: In our houses in Abvedale that are five hundred thousand dollars.
- 24:24Speaker 1: So there's a big variety of housing in terms of
- 24:27Speaker 1: the range if you're going out to buy. But one
- 24:30Speaker 1: point seven million dollars going to this project. But how
- 24:37Speaker 1: much money is going to housing and how much money
- 24:40Speaker 1: can you sprinkle from whatever remains to provide assistance? And
- 24:44Speaker 1: what does that mean to the most underserved neighborhoods plural?
- 24:50Speaker 1: You got a whole bunch of neighborhoods to choose from.
- 24:52Speaker 1: And I have a question for you. If you know
- 24:54Speaker 1: the answer this, please let me know who ranks neighborhoods
- 24:58Speaker 1: in terms of the most underserved to the most served.
- 25:06Speaker 1: That's a good question. I know the multiple councils from
- 25:11Speaker 1: this one prior all, you know, going full on with
- 25:14Speaker 1: the over the Rhine Urban Hipster project. And because they
- 25:17Speaker 1: wanted to draw people with money and taxable dollars from
- 25:21Speaker 1: paychecks in I don't know what ROI they got on
- 25:24Speaker 1: that one. Anyhow, it's just frustrating, frustrating for me. Anyway, ah,
- 25:35Speaker 1: one of my friend's favorite jokes, and anyway, he's been
- 25:39Speaker 1: going on about Michelle Obama now since Barack Obama Michelle
- 25:42Speaker 1: Obama were president and first Lady. UFC fighter Josh hook
- 25:46Speaker 1: It made what some are describing as a distasteful comment
- 25:52Speaker 1: about former First Lady Michelle Obama during the White House
- 25:55Speaker 1: UFC Freedom to Fifty event, and I'm sorry, I do
- 25:58Speaker 1: not abide on that one. Not I don't get that whatever. Anyway,
- 26:07Speaker 1: postfight remarks, he was grinning and he looked directly in
- 26:11Speaker 1: the television camera and said, and lastly, Michelle Obama is
- 26:14Speaker 1: a man. Am I right, America. My friend's been referring
- 26:20Speaker 1: to here as Big Mike for years and years. I
- 26:24Speaker 1: don't necessarily believe what his perception is or what the
- 26:28Speaker 1: UFC fighter Josh hook Att believes, but there are a
- 26:31Speaker 1: lot of really funny memes out of the world on
- 26:33Speaker 1: that one. Anyway. A German cycling race plunged into chaos
- 26:37Speaker 1: when an elderly woman on a mobility schoolter scooter rode
- 26:41Speaker 1: drove directly into the group of cyclists who were passing by,
- 26:46Speaker 1: and it caused a mass collision. A whole bunch of
- 26:48Speaker 1: competitors flew off their bike, some toppled over. More than
- 26:52Speaker 1: one hundred cyclists across Europe are there for the Starland
- 26:56Speaker 1: Trophy Old Juniors. This happened in Germany on Sunday. Biking
- 27:01Speaker 1: through the countryside, some encountered an unexpected obstacle. This elderly
- 27:04Speaker 1: woman and a scooter. If you can go to New
- 27:05Speaker 1: York Post you can see the video of it. It's unbelievable.
- 27:09Speaker 1: A woman inch the scooter out of the crowd of
- 27:12Speaker 1: spectators right into the pack of cyclists. Some were able
- 27:17Speaker 1: to swerve around her, but one actually got really hit
- 27:21Speaker 1: by hit hit the thing bad smacked into the scooter,
- 27:23Speaker 1: narrowly avoiding the woman who was on it, sent him
- 27:27Speaker 1: somersaulting off his bike. Four of the competitors also fell
- 27:30Speaker 1: down and the crash left them all over the road.
- 27:33Speaker 1: Dutch cyclist Paul Riesmond, the first victim, posted on social
- 27:37Speaker 1: media he was involved in a very nasty looking crash,
- 27:40Speaker 1: but got away with it relatively well, so fortunately he
- 27:42Speaker 1: wasn't too injured. It's just it's a bizarre thing to
- 27:45Speaker 1: behold when you see this person literally pulling out directly
- 27:48Speaker 1: into the lane of traviy.
- 27:51Speaker 8: Uh.
- 27:51Speaker 1: Don't do this. Twenty eight year old man arrested in
- 27:53Speaker 1: Cape Town International air Airport after South African authorities discovered
- 27:58Speaker 1: one and fifty venomous scorpions hidden inside his suitcases. This
- 28:04Speaker 1: will say the scorpions found concealed him on clothing packed
- 28:07Speaker 1: inside the man's luggage after law enforcement identified and stopped
- 28:10Speaker 1: him as part of a targeted intelligence operation. Suspect taking
- 28:14Speaker 1: to custody after authorities distributed information about him ahead of
- 28:18Speaker 1: his arrival at the airport. Known to authorities, He was
- 28:22Speaker 1: arrested under the Nature and Environmental Ordinance Act for being
- 28:26Speaker 1: in possession of a wild animal. I don't know that
- 28:30Speaker 1: scorpions actually definitionally animals, but you get the idea. The
- 28:34Speaker 1: scorpions were individually packed in plastic wrapping. They didn't reveal
- 28:38Speaker 1: where the shipment was headed or whether the animals were
- 28:41Speaker 1: intended for sale, and which leaves me wondering who in
- 28:43Speaker 1: the hell would want to buy a scorpion in the
- 28:45Speaker 1: first place. Five forty five fifty five KRC the talk station.
- 28:49Speaker 1: More stupid coming up, You're right back, fifty five KRC.
- 28:53Speaker 1: You've got the talk station. It is five point fifty here,
- 29:05Speaker 1: but you about kers detalk station. Make it a happy Tuesday.
- 29:10Speaker 1: He can we have a signal ninety nine talking on
- 29:13Speaker 1: the phone about the well this outside nonprofit group regarding
- 29:17Speaker 1: this insint police department and their alleged racism in traffic stops.
- 29:20Speaker 1: That's at seven oh five. Tom Zawistowski, the Ohio Data
- 29:23Speaker 1: Centers the topic with we the People Conventions Tom Zawis
- 29:25Speaker 1: dawskit seven thirty and of course Bright bart inside scoop
- 29:28Speaker 1: on Iran and Daniel Davis deep dive on Iran as
- 29:31Speaker 1: well in the en o'clock hour. I'm not going to
- 29:33Speaker 1: read the whole article because it goes on a very
- 29:35Speaker 1: very very very long winded narrative with history going back
- 29:39Speaker 1: multiple years. It's a three page article. Fun fact, he
- 29:45Speaker 1: really just read the one paragraph. Do you get the idea?
- 29:47Speaker 1: Homeowner Angela Medina, the mother of a girl that is
- 29:50Speaker 1: the subject matter of this particular article, told police the
- 29:54Speaker 1: girl's father had a drinking problem and he would get
- 29:57Speaker 1: so drunk that he would climb up a ladder to
- 30:00Speaker 1: have sexual intercourse with trees in the yard. Why are
- 30:05Speaker 1: you doing that? We'll never find out you can get
- 30:07Speaker 1: your own research on that one. The evolution to society.
- 30:10Speaker 1: Let's do it number one. Here, two sisters apparently were
- 30:13Speaker 1: arrested rather after allegedly stabbing a restaurant worker because they
- 30:17Speaker 1: got the wrong food order. Just according to police, the
- 30:22Speaker 1: stabbing happened May thirtieth when Brianna and carry Ona Long
- 30:26Speaker 1: got the wrong order at a Detroit restaurant. When they
- 30:29Speaker 1: started arguing with the worker, went behind the counter and
- 30:32Speaker 1: then started assaulting her. Prosecutor said the sisters attempted to
- 30:36Speaker 1: throw hot grease on the worker. One of the sisters
- 30:38Speaker 1: allegedly told the worker quote, I'm going to kill you
- 30:41Speaker 1: close quote well, of course, natural reaction when you get
- 30:44Speaker 1: the wrong food order, right. Rihanna and carry on a
- 30:46Speaker 1: Long allegedly chase the worker in the restaurant while throwing
- 30:49Speaker 1: things at her, among things pots and pans. Worker through
- 30:52Speaker 1: ridings back at the sisters, including mistake here a knife,
- 30:57Speaker 1: the one that was used to stab the worker in
- 30:59Speaker 1: the stomach. Worker got out of the restaurant, ultimately taken
- 31:03Speaker 1: to the local hospital for surgery. Brion and carry on
- 31:05Speaker 1: Along allegedly drove away from the scene, later taken into custody.
- 31:08Speaker 1: In charge with assault with intent to murder, assault with
- 31:11Speaker 1: intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, and
- 31:14Speaker 1: assault with a dangerous weapon. At the time, brion Along,
- 31:20Speaker 1: she's going to make a great mother. I'm sure at
- 31:21Speaker 1: nine months pregnant when the alleged stabbing occurred and she
- 31:27Speaker 1: gave birth four days before her arraignment. Of course, during
- 31:32Speaker 1: the arraignment, her defense attorney said, well, uh what, she's
- 31:36Speaker 1: got a baby at home. Brion Along's defense attorney said,
- 31:40Speaker 1: the worker told the sisters that they don't give an
- 31:43Speaker 1: f word about the wrong food order and throw things
- 31:46Speaker 1: at the sisters. Now, I gotta imagine there's a camera
- 31:49Speaker 1: inside this restaurant because they're literally everywhere. So something's going
- 31:52Speaker 1: to tell the tale on that. But even so, brian
- 31:57Speaker 1: Along pointed out to the judge, I'm innocent, but also
- 32:00Speaker 1: put it out again, she has four day old baby
- 32:02Speaker 1: at home. Timings everything. Judge says he was concerned that
- 32:07Speaker 1: a wrong food order led to such an alleged violent assault.
- 32:11Speaker 1: Notable Amen Brianna Long twenty five thousand dollars cash bond.
- 32:15Speaker 1: She's the one with the baby carry on a Long
- 32:17Speaker 1: for her part, a one hundred thousand dollars cash bond. Obviously,
- 32:21Speaker 1: in both cases they were not in front of Judge Silverstein.
- 32:23Speaker 1: Here in Hamilton County, just walk away. That is a
- 32:27Speaker 1: better thing to do. Let's say we go to Lake County, Florida,
- 32:31Speaker 1: where a Claremont man accused of threatening two teenagers with
- 32:34Speaker 1: a meat cleaver and a quote unquote chef style night
- 32:39Speaker 1: why due to frustration by the sound of their go cart,
- 32:45Speaker 1: or to Lake County Sheriff's office, they arrested sixty year
- 32:48Speaker 1: old Richard Carter after respond to a port said he
- 32:50Speaker 1: confronted two teenagers who were working on a go cart
- 32:53Speaker 1: in a neighborhood garage. Rest report points out the teenagers
- 32:57Speaker 1: were revving the engine while turning the carbrettor tuning the
- 32:59Speaker 1: carb writer, and they heard a neighbor cussing them out
- 33:02Speaker 1: their words, they told Deputy's card, became angry, threw a
- 33:05Speaker 1: lawn chair across the driveway, and then yelled at them
- 33:09Speaker 1: to get the F word out of this neighborhood. After
- 33:13Speaker 1: which I guess out came the meat cleaver, na chef
- 33:16Speaker 1: style knife. And finally, another illustration of the evolution of society,
- 33:22Speaker 1: we go to Boston where A fourteen year old is
- 33:24Speaker 1: accused of robbing a children's lemonade stand at gunpoint. Do
- 33:29Speaker 1: what the he ay, A man Joseph Boston police said
- 33:34Speaker 1: about quarter to five on a Wednesday, officers showed up
- 33:36Speaker 1: a radio call for an armed robbery. They got there,
- 33:38Speaker 1: they spoke with the two children who'd been operating in
- 33:40Speaker 1: a lemonade stand, who told them that the suspects made
- 33:43Speaker 1: several passes by the stand before approaching and asking whether
- 33:47Speaker 1: Apple pay would be accepted. Before the victims could respond,
- 33:52Speaker 1: the suspects grabbed the money box. One suspect then pulled
- 33:55Speaker 1: a gun from his waist and ran off. Arrested a
- 34:00Speaker 1: fourteen year old boy charged with two counts of arm
- 34:03Speaker 1: robbery and two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm. Wow,
- 34:13Speaker 1: do you know what, Joe? Thank you very much, he
- 34:16Speaker 1: reminded me. Here in the city of Cincinnati, we got
- 34:18Speaker 1: that problem. Lick. Just give him a library card, right, Joe?
- 34:23Speaker 1: Maybe hang out at a rec center. There's a RECs.
- 34:25Speaker 1: Maybe there's no rec centers in Boston. I don't you know,
- 34:29Speaker 1: I think we need an MNGO. We need to fund
- 34:30Speaker 1: an outside organization that will address youth violence, or maybe
- 34:36Speaker 1: just maybe we need to ban guns. Oh, that's right.
- 34:41Speaker 1: It was already unlawful for a fourteen year old to
- 34:43Speaker 1: possess a firearm in the first instance, so maybe that
- 34:44Speaker 1: won't work. Five poin fifty coming up a five fifty
- 34:46Speaker 1: six to fifty five kir city talk station. Feel free
- 34:48Speaker 1: to give me a call plenty to talk about in
- 34:49Speaker 1: the six o'clock it's six and six here fifty five
- 34:53Speaker 1: kir se Detalk station. Brian Thomas here wishing everyone ether
- 34:57Speaker 1: aty Tuesday and inviting phone calls and got something to say.
- 35:00Speaker 1: Three seven, four nine to fifty five hundred, eight hundred
- 35:02Speaker 1: and eighty two to three talker pound five fifty on
- 35:03Speaker 1: etat founds over fifty five cars dot com. You can
- 35:06Speaker 1: check out the podcast page and here what Christopher Smithman
- 35:09Speaker 1: had to say the other day inviting you to sign
- 35:11Speaker 1: the petition to give council members, well, oblige I should
- 35:16Speaker 1: more properly rephrase it, oblige council members to chime in
- 35:18Speaker 1: on and approve or approve hiring and firing of police
- 35:23Speaker 1: and fire chiefs by a seven council member majority. All right,
- 35:28Speaker 1: and that seems like a logical thing. And no, it
- 35:30Speaker 1: doesn't do anything to the collaborative agreement. Quit listening to
- 35:33Speaker 1: what Iris Rowley has to say anyhow. So it obviously
- 35:38Speaker 1: is a very common sense way of avoiding the litigation
- 35:41Speaker 1: concerns that we are plagued with. Considering Fire Chief Washington
- 35:45Speaker 1: prior Fire Chief Washington, he's got a lawsuit pending. He's
- 35:48Speaker 1: already been told in court has ruled it he was
- 35:51Speaker 1: wrongfully terminated. So I believe he's just basically sitting around
- 35:54Speaker 1: waiting for a paycheck in the form of a cash
- 35:58Speaker 1: payment settlement. We call that right, Okay, Police Chief d
- 36:03Speaker 1: just teed hers up in maybe a couple of years,
- 36:05Speaker 1: And thank you Christopher Spiderman, who was apparently out there
- 36:07Speaker 1: he was listening to me lament the idiots on city Council,
- 36:10Speaker 1: and I'm sorry, I got it well. With the exception
- 36:11Speaker 1: of Mark Jefferies, he at Lease is concerned about the
- 36:14Speaker 1: city roads. They went ahead and it's the budget has
- 36:17Speaker 1: not yet been approved, but council approved two million dollars
- 36:20Speaker 1: to go to that stupid Farmer Music Center project. And
- 36:22Speaker 1: maybe I shouldn't even call that project stupid. All I
- 36:25Speaker 1: know is fully funded. They didn't need city money to
- 36:27Speaker 1: break around. They started the thing, and that's in Mayor.
- 36:30Speaker 1: I have to have purvol wandering out of the wilderness.
- 36:32Speaker 1: At one point, raises his hand and says, hey, the
- 36:34Speaker 1: City of Cincinnati will throw eight million dollars at that project.
- 36:37Speaker 1: He was looking around, Well, what who asked for that?
- 36:43Speaker 1: Good question? Where did that concept come from? Now early
- 36:48Speaker 1: in the program, Tom called and kind of suggestion, maybe
- 36:51Speaker 1: there's some kind of shenanigans going around there, maybe some
- 36:53Speaker 1: untowored things going on behind the scenes. All I know
- 36:56Speaker 1: is the money and the thing was fully funded and
- 36:57Speaker 1: whatever tax revenue it generates because it's in the City
- 37:00Speaker 1: of Cincinnati's limits. I'm thinking that the city was going
- 37:04Speaker 1: to get whatever, you know, ROI, that the project was
- 37:08Speaker 1: going to produce, you know, the ticket sales revenue, that
- 37:11Speaker 1: kind of thing. So no one denies the reality that
- 37:15Speaker 1: it was fully funded. Right, So why did we just
- 37:19Speaker 1: why did they just vote to go ahead and rather
- 37:21Speaker 1: than put the money toward roads. Thank you council, remember
- 37:24Speaker 1: Jeffries for wanting to do the right thing, because rather
- 37:27Speaker 1: than one hundred miles of road repairs that should have
- 37:31Speaker 1: been in the budget, which is what their plan was.
- 37:33Speaker 1: Now it's only seventy. Maybe you're in one of the
- 37:37Speaker 1: underserved communities that the City of Cincinnati is ignoring, and
- 37:40Speaker 1: you got crumbling roads on your street. But going back
- 37:45Speaker 1: to Christopher Smithman, UH city budget Director, it's a text
- 37:48Speaker 1: that you sent out to Joe this morning. I didn't
- 37:50Speaker 1: see this reported, but I trust Chris at Christopher in
- 37:53Speaker 1: his informational sources. City budget directors set aside nine million
- 37:57Speaker 1: dollars in the twenty twenty seven and budget for future
- 38:02Speaker 1: litigation settlements. Joe forward to two those eleven, Well, that
- 38:08Speaker 1: made be enough to cover Washington's lawsuit. I wonder how
- 38:12Speaker 1: much money they're gonna allocate for Fiji's. They do have
- 38:15Speaker 1: some time litigation wheels adjustice been very slowly, so anyhow,
- 38:20Speaker 1: I'm what can you do but laugh and wonder what
- 38:24Speaker 1: in the hell the residents of the City of Cincinnati
- 38:26Speaker 1: were thinking when one out of four registered one showed
- 38:29Speaker 1: up and voted basically one hundred percent for these clowns. Well,
- 38:33Speaker 1: I won't call Jeffreys a clown because it seems to
- 38:35Speaker 1: be one of the few they has a voice of
- 38:36Speaker 1: reason on sinsay. City Council coming up at seven oh five,
- 38:39Speaker 1: signal ninety nine. Yeah, she always has great things to
- 38:42Speaker 1: say about leadership as well. Uh signals coming on to
- 38:45Speaker 1: talk about this nonprofit study, which someone says on the
- 38:49Speaker 1: rundown is BS not sure if that's her words or
- 38:52Speaker 1: mine or Rustrekers, but city leaders also questioned the methodology
- 38:57Speaker 1: on this quote quote unquote racial bias report that was
- 39:00Speaker 1: produced by a nonprofit entity called Campaign Zero, which I
- 39:04Speaker 1: guess went to work searching through these records at the
- 39:07Speaker 1: behest of the Hamilton County Public Defender's Office, and that's
- 39:09Speaker 1: got me scratching my head. I'm hoping she can answer
- 39:11Speaker 1: the question, like, by what authority and what reason would
- 39:14Speaker 1: the Public Defender's Office push this forward? Anyway? Controversy swirling
- 39:18Speaker 1: around that, a lot of criticism and a lot of ay,
- 39:20Speaker 1: we've got to take a second look at this and
- 39:22Speaker 1: don't take it at face value. Tom's Awastowski had seven
- 39:25Speaker 1: thirty after Signal ninety nine departs. He's got the website
- 39:28Speaker 1: we the People Convention dot org. Today we'll talk with
- 39:30Speaker 1: Tom about data centers here in Ohio with the Inside
- 39:32Speaker 1: Scoop at eight oh five Every Tuesday, Bright Bart International
- 39:35Speaker 1: editor Francis Martel returns will get the latest from him
- 39:38Speaker 1: on Iran as well from Daniel Davis during the deep
- 39:41Speaker 1: dive at eight thirty pivoting over to Iran. Some are
- 39:44Speaker 1: calling it a retreat, and I think that's an appropriate thing,
- 39:50Speaker 1: this cease fire deal with Iran that has just been inked.
- 39:54Speaker 1: I know Donald Trump signed it, and they're waiting for
- 39:57Speaker 1: the Iranians to sign it beyond something like I electronic signature. Anyway,
- 40:01Speaker 1: that scheduled to happen Friday. It's going to open up
- 40:02Speaker 1: the Straight of Horror Moves and we're gonna open up
- 40:05Speaker 1: their ports for them. The blockade will be over. So
- 40:08Speaker 1: they all are suggesting the traffic will begin to flow
- 40:11Speaker 1: very shortly, providing everybody around the globe with some measure
- 40:14Speaker 1: of relief from the Straight being closed. And according to
- 40:18Speaker 1: the Journal points out, there's no denying Trump is retreating
- 40:20Speaker 1: from his main goals because of political pressure here at home,
- 40:24Speaker 1: and finishing the job requires greater military risk. That's a
- 40:27Speaker 1: critical thing that Daniel Davis had been bringing up for
- 40:30Speaker 1: a long time. You know, if we could, we could
- 40:38Speaker 1: have reopened the Straight of Horror Moves by force. That
- 40:40Speaker 1: was never apparently an option. I guess too much risk
- 40:43Speaker 1: at stake American military hardware. Can you imagine what the
- 40:47Speaker 1: expense is if one of our battleships got blown up
- 40:50Speaker 1: or one of our aircraft carrier got blown up, they
- 40:53Speaker 1: got all those minds sprinkled around. That is a huge
- 40:56Speaker 1: risk loss of American life as well as hardware. Wow,
- 40:59Speaker 1: I do not think that. I think that was certainly
- 41:01Speaker 1: built into the calculation. Not even try it. It sounds simple,
- 41:04Speaker 1: but apparently very complex. He also never authorized a land mission,
- 41:09Speaker 1: like some sort of Venezuelan operation to zip in and
- 41:12Speaker 1: seize the enriched uranium. I suspect the reason why. Maybe
- 41:16Speaker 1: we could have navigated from a military standpoint, but how
- 41:19Speaker 1: much time would it take to dig that stuff out
- 41:21Speaker 1: from underneath the rubble it is presently located. So we
- 41:25Speaker 1: didn't do either of those things. And apparently that's not
- 41:30Speaker 1: a risk he was willing to take to try doing
- 41:32Speaker 1: either of those things. So those who say Trump had
- 41:35Speaker 1: no alternative to this retreat ignored the US blockade was
- 41:39Speaker 1: in fact squeezing her on every single day, the blockade
- 41:42Speaker 1: was leaking. So you got some boats making it through,
- 41:44Speaker 1: you and see a daily report like you know, thirty
- 41:46Speaker 1: boats came through and of late maybe one hundred and
- 41:48Speaker 1: fifty boats came through, but there are a thousands floating
- 41:51Speaker 1: around in there, and in fact a military block or
- 41:53Speaker 1: rather the blockade on Iran's port, starving the Iranians of cash.
- 41:58Speaker 1: They basically have very limited flow of oil coming out
- 42:00Speaker 1: of their country, their only source of income. The blockades
- 42:03Speaker 1: are in place for their ports, so they can't really
- 42:06Speaker 1: get it out if they want to. I know there's
- 42:07Speaker 1: rail routs and some pipe roots, but the vast majority
- 42:10Speaker 1: of it is stuck. So they are slowly having major
- 42:14Speaker 1: problems with your economy. How about just leaving the status quo.
- 42:18Speaker 1: Keep the port's blocked, let the Iranians keep the straight
- 42:21Speaker 1: of horror moves closed. We're in the stalemate. Let's see
- 42:23Speaker 1: how long they can last being starved to death. That's
- 42:25Speaker 1: a military option, but it's one that would take us
- 42:29Speaker 1: way past the November elections. And since we're all dealing
- 42:32Speaker 1: with the price of gasoline here, we're getting to end
- 42:34Speaker 1: up voting against our best interests and vote Democrats into
- 42:37Speaker 1: office and basically screw the rest of us for the
- 42:39Speaker 1: rest of our lives. So that's the reason we're moving
- 42:43Speaker 1: into this. So what we got into this agreement, which
- 42:45Speaker 1: no one's seen the details of yet that I can tell.
- 42:48Speaker 1: Ceasefire is extended for another sixty days, and go ahead
- 42:50Speaker 1: and chuckle about that, because haven't we been in a
- 42:52Speaker 1: ceasefire now four months or whatever? And probably this thing
- 42:57Speaker 1: will be renewed many times. So you got to cease
- 42:59Speaker 1: fire if we don't have all the terms of conditions
- 43:02Speaker 1: and they are serious. Everything that's really complex and important,
- 43:05Speaker 1: the nuclear dust, the missile program has Bala and and Lebanon,
- 43:12Speaker 1: just the multitude of issues not resolved by all reporting.
- 43:16Speaker 1: That's what the sixty day period is. We're gonna iron
- 43:18Speaker 1: out the details during this sixty day period. So blockade's
- 43:23Speaker 1: gonna end. Iran apparently is gonna take steps to d
- 43:26Speaker 1: mind the straits on a timetable so traffic can be unrestricted.
- 43:30Speaker 1: How long is that timetable, we don't know. So we're
- 43:32Speaker 1: gonna get lower gasoline prices. And I started the program
- 43:35Speaker 1: pointing out if you got to gasbuddy dot com, prices
- 43:37Speaker 1: have already dropped. And in my neighborhood there's a couple
- 43:40Speaker 1: of places, Thornton's and Meyer. I think you can get
- 43:42Speaker 1: it for three dollars and twenty cents. But Teyran says
- 43:47Speaker 1: Hormuz will not return to the status quo, and it
- 43:49Speaker 1: claims it will charge quote unquote fees, not tolls, mind
- 43:55Speaker 1: you fees right well, entering into the equation. Now the
- 44:02Speaker 1: memorandum of understanding again, has the text has not been released.
- 44:05Speaker 1: Trump says, some of it is a little conceptual. It's
- 44:08Speaker 1: some of the words he used yesterday. A little conceptual
- 44:13Speaker 1: defers most of the matters of the nuclear program more
- 44:15Speaker 1: than to these sixty days of talk, while oil and
- 44:18Speaker 1: other sanctions relief along the way in exchange for diplomatic progress.
- 44:24Speaker 1: So if the ports are reopened and traffic does flow
- 44:28Speaker 1: through this trait of horror moves, I'd score one for
- 44:30Speaker 1: the Iranians on that. Their economy then is reinvigorated. Now,
- 44:33Speaker 1: what will they do with the money, Well, some are
- 44:36Speaker 1: suggesting the Iranians, being the nefarious liars that they are,
- 44:40Speaker 1: will all just start building more weapons and drones and
- 44:44Speaker 1: maybe even restart their nuclear facility. If they have an
- 44:48Speaker 1: economy back, they can do that. It's going to be
- 44:50Speaker 1: their choice. Pushing off the most difficult nuclear issues and
- 44:54Speaker 1: talks with dishonorable people words used by Trump, dishonorable people
- 44:58Speaker 1: who don't deal in good faith. Again his words, Journal
- 45:03Speaker 1: observe that doesn't exactly inspire confidence. If the regime won't
- 45:07Speaker 1: agree to dismantle its nuclear program, now, why would it
- 45:10Speaker 1: do so after weeks of oil experts and exports and
- 45:13Speaker 1: other relief that it will get immediately with the reopening
- 45:16Speaker 1: of the Strait of Hormuz and the reopening of their ports.
- 45:19Speaker 1: That's a legitimate question. Meanwhile, go back to the Journal here.
- 45:27Speaker 1: Allowing oil experts will rescue the regime financially and resuming
- 45:31Speaker 1: sanctioned enforcements won't be easy when Iran can threaten the
- 45:35Speaker 1: deal and the straight in reply. See, that's the long
- 45:38Speaker 1: term problem here. You're not gonna have regime chains. They've
- 45:42Speaker 1: given up on the whole concept. In order to get
- 45:45Speaker 1: this sort of kind of deal going, you're gonna have
- 45:49Speaker 1: to basically give them them their economy back. Now Trump
- 45:52Speaker 1: has promises isn't going to be giving them, you know,
- 45:54Speaker 1: palettes of cash like Obama did, but it will reinvigorate
- 45:58Speaker 1: or reopen their economy. So are we going to pull
- 46:03Speaker 1: out all of our military and just pack it up
- 46:05Speaker 1: and go home. Are we going to be there to
- 46:07Speaker 1: kind of watch and make sure things move forward under
- 46:09Speaker 1: the terms of whatever this this deal suggests we have
- 46:12Speaker 1: to do, and at any given time into the future.
- 46:17Speaker 1: I don't care what the agreement says. Under the current situation,
- 46:20Speaker 1: the Iranians have woken up to the fact that they
- 46:22Speaker 1: can shut the straight of Horror moves any damn time
- 46:25Speaker 1: they please. And that's a tough thing to struggle with,
- 46:30Speaker 1: isn't it. If we can't bomb them out of existence,
- 46:34Speaker 1: which I guess is where we are. If we can't
- 46:37Speaker 1: invade them by land, which is I guess where we are.
- 46:40Speaker 1: If we are incapable at this moment in time, with
- 46:43Speaker 1: all of our military resources packed into the Middle East,
- 46:46Speaker 1: we can't reopen the strait of horror moves because of
- 46:49Speaker 1: the minds and the threat of drones and missiles. Can we,
- 46:52Speaker 1: ever in the future prevent Iran from doing this again?
- 46:56Speaker 1: Question mark six eighteen. Right now, Bill's on the phone, Bill,
- 46:59Speaker 1: hang on, I get you called this the second First.
- 47:00Speaker 1: I want to mention QC kinetic because Bill may be
- 47:02Speaker 1: in pain. I don't know that he is. But talkstation six.
- 47:06Speaker 1: If you have KC DE talk station, you know they're
- 47:09Speaker 1: a quick observation. I gotta propaps to the Wall Street
- 47:11Speaker 1: Terurnfi pointing this one out as well. No Iranian commitments
- 47:14Speaker 1: on its missiles or terror proxies, you know, like hes Bala.
- 47:17Speaker 1: They say that's going to be put off for this
- 47:18Speaker 1: sixty day window to just kind of iron out and
- 47:21Speaker 1: point out this poses a risk to Israel from Hesbala yep,
- 47:25Speaker 1: as well as golf Arab states. It bore the brunt
- 47:27Speaker 1: of the Iranian attacks from missiles.
- 47:30Speaker 7: We see.
- 47:30Speaker 1: The iron and irony of this deal is that the
- 47:32Speaker 1: Gulf States will need greater US defense commitments if Iran
- 47:35Speaker 1: is allowed to rebuild its missile arsenal, whether or not
- 47:38Speaker 1: it's allowed to do it, if they go ahead and
- 47:40Speaker 1: do it anyway, you think Hans blicks is going to
- 47:44Speaker 1: be called out of a called up from the miners.
- 47:47Speaker 1: Joe and and and zip in and check things out
- 47:49Speaker 1: and from time to time, let's see what Bill's got. Hey, Bill,
- 47:52Speaker 1: thanks for calling this morning. Happy Tuesday to you. Hello,
- 47:56Speaker 1: Hey Bill, you're on.
- 47:58Speaker 3: Oh thank you, thank you.
- 48:00Speaker 4: Ryan.
- 48:01Speaker 9: And look we've been This is going to keep going
- 48:07Speaker 9: on until that regime is i eradicated. You can't keep
- 48:15Speaker 9: see we're keep making the same mistake over You're these
- 48:19Speaker 9: people here have a history, and I think I'm a
- 48:25Speaker 9: Trump's supporter, Sir, I am, But I'm telling you he's
- 48:30Speaker 9: falling into the same tracks that Jimmy Carter all.
- 48:34Speaker 7: The way up through Reagan.
- 48:37Speaker 9: They're making this. You cannot make a deal with the devil.
- 48:42Speaker 5: And you can't get along with it.
- 48:45Speaker 9: You have to take out that regime and listen, it's
- 48:51Speaker 9: going to be repeated to the next president, to the
- 48:54Speaker 9: next one if it's not tooking now. Now, and with
- 48:59Speaker 9: all their respects Trump, but he's making some mistakes here.
- 49:04Speaker 5: I mean, I'm just.
- 49:07Speaker 9: Melbury kentuckting, but my god, I can figure out he's
- 49:12Speaker 9: falling in to the same rootine and.
- 49:23Speaker 1: You didn't. But Bill, let me observe. I don't think
- 49:25Speaker 1: you called it looking for an argument for me, I'm
- 49:26Speaker 1: kind of reaching the same conclusion. But the problem seems
- 49:30Speaker 1: to be the November elections are driving Trump's motivations. So
- 49:34Speaker 1: not just at minimum keep the blockade in place and
- 49:37Speaker 1: let the rest of the world, along with us, with
- 49:39Speaker 1: our high gasoline prices, struggle with the closure of the
- 49:41Speaker 1: Strait of Hormuz. Who can outlast that? I would think
- 49:45Speaker 1: that the Iranians can't. Any other component of this is
- 49:49Speaker 1: why in the hell aren't all literally all the Arab
- 49:52Speaker 1: nations who've been pestered by the Iranian missile attacks just
- 49:56Speaker 1: joining in and saying, you know what, screw this. We
- 49:58Speaker 1: are sick and dumb with your Iranians as well. We
- 50:01Speaker 1: want them out, and this is it's time to go
- 50:03Speaker 1: and maybe engage in a land battle. Come on, Arab troops,
- 50:06Speaker 1: come on, everybody, let's get together. Hey, maybe we can
- 50:08Speaker 1: get the NATO forces. Long instance, they're struggling as a
- 50:10Speaker 1: consequence of the trade of horn moves as well. No,
- 50:13Speaker 1: it looks like status quo. And who thinks with over
- 50:16Speaker 1: sixty day period they're gonna deal with the missile the
- 50:19Speaker 1: terror proxies, the oil exports, Ah, what could go on
- 50:23Speaker 1: and on here, the nuclear dust, the nuclear program. And
- 50:26Speaker 1: you're good. You make a really good point about the devil.
- 50:29Speaker 1: Now your perception is we're dealing with the devil, the
- 50:32Speaker 1: Iranian regime being the devil in this case. And I
- 50:34Speaker 1: don't disagree with that, you know, boiled down a way
- 50:37Speaker 1: of referring to them. But they literally think we're the devil.
- 50:44Speaker 1: I mean literally, do you think they are negotiating good
- 50:49Speaker 1: faith with an entity that they believe to be the
- 50:52Speaker 1: Great Satan. If you sat down and there was a
- 50:56Speaker 1: figure of a devil across from you and you were
- 50:58Speaker 1: negotiating with him, in the back of your mind, be like, well,
- 51:00Speaker 1: screw this guy. You think I'm going to hold up
- 51:02Speaker 1: the terms of conditions with a deal with a devil.
- 51:05Speaker 1: I want them eradicated from the face of the globe,
- 51:08Speaker 1: say the Iranians about us, as well as the Israellies,
- 51:12Speaker 1: So you know that whole religious component cannot be overlooked.
- 51:16Speaker 1: You're right, you leave the regime in place. And I'm
- 51:18Speaker 1: not saying there's a mechanism to deal with the regime
- 51:20Speaker 1: absence some sort of global effort to wipe them off
- 51:23Speaker 1: the face of the earth. Yep, kick the can folks.
- 51:29Speaker 1: That's what seems to be the direction we're going. And
- 51:31Speaker 1: I'm not being critical of Trump necessarily, He's got political
- 51:34Speaker 1: realities to deal with, and I think I blame the
- 51:35Speaker 1: American people for not having the stomach to navigate the
- 51:39Speaker 1: storm of these ridiculous gasoline prices, which again aren't nearly
- 51:43Speaker 1: as bad as they were under Joe Biden, and not
- 51:45Speaker 1: barely as bad as they really would be if the
- 51:48Speaker 1: Democrats got their way about climate change. That's what you're
- 51:53Speaker 1: gonna vote for. Huh right? Six twenty eight, fifty five
- 51:55Speaker 1: KRCD talk station Jimmy care Fireplaces though outstanding folks they are.
- 51:59Speaker 1: They are low, locally owned and operated, been local krc
- 52:02Speaker 1: D talks station six thirty three. Here fifty five krc
- 52:08Speaker 1: DE talk station coming up off top of the our
- 52:14Speaker 1: news signal ninety nine on that nonprofit looking into the
- 52:17Speaker 1: Cincinni police departments traffic stops. Tom z Austowski coming up
- 52:21Speaker 1: a one hour on Ohio data centers. He's with We
- 52:23Speaker 1: the People Convention dot Org. In the meantime, over to
- 52:26Speaker 1: some local stories. I find this is rather interesting. FBI
- 52:31Speaker 1: agents sears the office of an Ohio group that allegedly
- 52:34Speaker 1: supports voter registration efforts. They went in and seized documents
- 52:38Speaker 1: and computer files. That's according to a release from the
- 52:42Speaker 1: board member of this organization. A federal agent showed up
- 52:45Speaker 1: at the Cleveland office of the Ohio Organizing Collaborative. You know,
- 52:51Speaker 1: as the man raised my eyebrow and I read something
- 52:52Speaker 1: like that. Anyway, they were there, they questioned staff and
- 52:56Speaker 1: seized documents and records. How do they do that? They
- 53:00Speaker 1: had a search warrant. How do you get a search warrant?
- 53:03Speaker 1: You go to a judge and you present probable cause
- 53:06Speaker 1: that criminal activity is going on. That's how you end
- 53:08Speaker 1: up with the search warrant. Is is criminal activity going on?
- 53:11Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll find out from the FBI when
- 53:13Speaker 1: they either levy charges or walk away from it having
- 53:15Speaker 1: found nothing. Anyway, The organization described as founded in two
- 53:19Speaker 1: thousand and seven, its mission fighting for criminal justice, reform,
- 53:25Speaker 1: racial justice, and expansion of voting rights. Not pause for
- 53:30Speaker 1: a moment. I thought about that expansion of voting rights.
- 53:32Speaker 1: If you are eligible to vote, there is no impediment
- 53:35Speaker 1: to your voting period. Into what realm will we be
- 53:41Speaker 1: expanding voting rights? Something I like to think about. Anyway,
- 53:49Speaker 1: you got to get a search one, as I mentioned, cause,
- 53:50Speaker 1: a criminal activity must exist. The judge has to be
- 53:53Speaker 1: convinced of that, and that's how it's got issued. Some
- 53:57Speaker 1: described as troubled by this. Now you have a choice
- 54:00Speaker 1: when it comes to voting for the governor of the
- 54:02Speaker 1: state of Ohio. Right, viv Ramaswami put aside your racism
- 54:06Speaker 1: and put aside you were perhaps a concern over him
- 54:09Speaker 1: being Hindu. Since we don't live in a theocracy, he
- 54:11Speaker 1: can't make you worship any given religion. He is a
- 54:13Speaker 1: brilliant man, demonstrably successful, and has great ideas to well
- 54:17Speaker 1: recharge the batteries of Ohio and make it one of
- 54:19Speaker 1: the most attractive states in the Union for business luring businesses.
- 54:23Speaker 1: I think that sounds like a great idea. I don't
- 54:24Speaker 1: know what doctor Amyactin suggests, except maybe to shut down
- 54:27Speaker 1: your business. See I got it out of my system.
- 54:31Speaker 1: But going back to doctor Amy Actin quoted in the interview,
- 54:34Speaker 1: any attempts by federal law enforcement to intimidate eligible Ohioans
- 54:39Speaker 1: from registering to vote are unacceptable. Well, I would share
- 54:43Speaker 1: that in the statement. But what does the issued based
- 54:47Speaker 1: on probable Cause search warrant have to do with intimidating
- 54:50Speaker 1: eligible Ohioans from registering? Is the government going after eligible
- 54:58Speaker 1: Ohioans for the purpose of preventing them from registering to vote?
- 55:03Speaker 1: Of course not. I'm sorry that was a stupid statement.
- 55:06Speaker 1: You mentioned pivoting over Shared Brown. You have a choice
- 55:10Speaker 1: in that race too. You got John Houston or you
- 55:13Speaker 1: have Shared Brown. You know who I'm in favor of.
- 55:16Speaker 1: He asked the FBI to make public any and all
- 55:18Speaker 1: activities around these raids. Adding any attempt to intimidate Ohio
- 55:22Speaker 1: voters is wrong and it will not work. Again, in
- 55:26Speaker 1: what way are Ohio voters being intimidated? This is an
- 55:28Speaker 1: outside organization that you just heard their their mission statement.
- 55:32Speaker 1: This has nothing to do with intimidating Ohio voters. Maybe
- 55:35Speaker 1: he has something to do with pursuing criminal activity that
- 55:38Speaker 1: they believe because they have probable cause to believe criminal
- 55:41Speaker 1: activity was going on. Nah see six thirty seven, fifty
- 55:44Speaker 1: five kc DE talk station. Feel free to give me
- 55:47Speaker 1: a call. Got other things to talk about, but I
- 55:48Speaker 1: first want you to give fast and pro roofing a call.
- 55:50Speaker 1: Got a home, got a roof call, Fast and pro
- 55:52Speaker 1: roofing the talk station fifty five KRCD talk station five
- 56:06Speaker 1: two three talk. I'm f fifty on AT and T
- 56:08Speaker 1: phones over the phones will go. Let's what Brian's got
- 56:10Speaker 1: this morning? Hey Brian, thanks for calling, Welcome to the show.
- 56:14Speaker 2: Good morning.
- 56:15Speaker 10: Hey, uh I got just a couple of different rabbit
- 56:17Speaker 10: holes real quick, uh Iran has something that we don't have.
- 56:21Speaker 10: We've got a republic. We replace over our leaders every
- 56:24Speaker 10: four years, every six years, right, so they they've got
- 56:28Speaker 10: they've got time.
- 56:29Speaker 2: We don't have time.
- 56:30Speaker 10: So that's that's that's the biggest thing against us, And
- 56:35Speaker 10: I mean that's that's the biggest thing basically. But the
- 56:37Speaker 10: other two rabbit holes I was going to say, is, uh,
- 56:41Speaker 10: the way we could conquer the time is if we
- 56:43Speaker 10: were not humanitarian. Sha has showed their cards as far
- 56:47Speaker 10: as if we was to go in and do what
- 56:49Speaker 10: Russia has done to Ukraine, It's shown the weakness of
- 56:52Speaker 10: Russia because they can't even take over Ukraine. If we
- 56:54Speaker 10: were to go and do the same thing, we would
- 56:56Speaker 10: have done obliterated Iran, I believe. But we're but we
- 56:59Speaker 10: don't fight like that, you know. We try to save
- 57:01Speaker 10: women and children and save infrastructure as much as we can,
- 57:04Speaker 10: right right. And then one more one more point that
- 57:06Speaker 10: is kind of kind of irrelevant but relevant in the
- 57:09Speaker 10: future possibly is the supposed at one point four billion
- 57:12Speaker 10: people in China, it takes two people to sustain your
- 57:15Speaker 10: to sustain, and it takes three or more to grow
- 57:19Speaker 10: and in nineteen seventy nine, which I don't know how
- 57:21Speaker 10: relevant that is to the Iran deal or the Iran
- 57:25Speaker 10: doing what they've done since nineteen seventy nine. But according
- 57:28Speaker 10: to what's out there, they had nine hundred million people
- 57:31Speaker 10: in China, but supposedly they have one point four billion
- 57:33Speaker 10: people today. But they've had a one child policy since then,
- 57:36Speaker 10: and they just opened it up to two people two
- 57:39Speaker 10: people in twenty fifteen. That the math doesn't math if
- 57:43Speaker 10: they're getting older and they're not replacing themselves, well exactly.
- 57:46Speaker 1: Well, and that's actually interesting, Bran, because that's a global phenomenon,
- 57:49Speaker 1: with the exception of Africa. And I've seen a lot
- 57:50Speaker 1: of studies on this. I mean, nobody's having kids anymore.
- 57:54Speaker 1: I mean it's a real problem. And yeah, I don't
- 57:58Speaker 1: know the population in China is. Of course, they need
- 58:00Speaker 1: to continue to populate their country in order to keep
- 58:02Speaker 1: their economy running. Of course, I have no idea what's
- 58:05Speaker 1: going on with the Iranians, but you know it's a
- 58:07Speaker 1: legitimate point we and of course we could blow up Iran.
- 58:11Speaker 1: I mean you're going to your point about could we win. Yeah,
- 58:13Speaker 1: you know, we've got nuclear weapons to just if they
- 58:15Speaker 1: haven't got the memo yet. And we're the only country
- 58:18Speaker 1: that's ever used one in a war situation we called
- 58:20Speaker 1: World War two, right, nobody's used one again since we
- 58:24Speaker 1: continue to build the hell out of them. I matter
- 58:26Speaker 1: how many thousands of nuclear bombs the world needs, but
- 58:28Speaker 1: we've got more than we can use right mutually assured destruction,
- 58:32Speaker 1: which is exactly why the Iranians want one. It's why
- 58:35Speaker 1: North Korea has one. It's already been widely reported. We
- 58:38Speaker 1: used to worry about Kim jun Er, own er, whatever
- 58:41Speaker 1: the hell leader that they've got going on. These days,
- 58:43Speaker 1: apparently everybody's reported they've got one. And why do you
- 58:48Speaker 1: think they wanted to build one? Because well, those evil
- 58:50Speaker 1: Westerners had their designs on knocking over the communist regime.
- 58:56Speaker 1: Remember the Korean conflict, it's not a war. Remember there
- 59:00Speaker 1: was no declaration of war. There was no authorization used
- 59:02Speaker 1: to military force because it wasn't such a thing back
- 59:04Speaker 1: when we were involving the conflict. The police action, Yeah, no,
- 59:10Speaker 1: question is complicated. But then you go back to why
- 59:12Speaker 1: we don't have time. Your point is well taken, and
- 59:16Speaker 1: it's one of the reasons that Donald Trump I believe
- 59:18Speaker 1: has gone down the same road or a similar path
- 59:20Speaker 1: as Obama. They're trying to draw distinctions between it. But
- 59:22Speaker 1: whatever we've got by now, by way of agreement, which
- 59:24Speaker 1: we haven't seen the terms of doesn't seem to do much.
- 59:27Speaker 1: It certainly does not get rid of the evil Iranian regime,
- 59:30Speaker 1: which has been a thorn on everybody's sides in nineteen
- 59:32Speaker 1: seventy nine. We don't have time because we the American people,
- 59:35Speaker 1: do not have the stomach to deal with the inflationary
- 59:37Speaker 1: reality is brought about by high gasoline prices that that
- 59:40Speaker 1: are a consequence of the war. If we were all
- 59:43Speaker 1: behind it, if this was a nine to eleven moment
- 59:47Speaker 1: or a Pearl Harbor moment, I bet the vast majority
- 59:51Speaker 1: of American people would say, screw the inflation, screw the
- 59:53Speaker 1: high gas prices. Go after these so and sos. Fill
- 59:56Speaker 1: in your favorite sec non compliant words to describe them.
- 59:59Speaker 1: Let's get job done. But we don't. Guess needs a
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: dollar more than it was a year or two ago,
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: So we can't do now that right, We got a
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: November election, and see that, to me is just the
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: most frustrating part about this whole thing. I understand the
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: complications and the implications. We're really trying to go in
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: and get the job done. That would cost a lot
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: of lives, It would cost a lot of hardware. Oh
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: and there's another problem we've got on our hands. In
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: addition to the strategic petroleum oil reserve almost being tapped out,
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: so is our weapons supply billions and billions and billions
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: of dollars? Is it economically possible? Can we continue to
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: maintain adequate military hardware to protect ourselves in the event
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: of something consequential coming our way? This is not an
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: easy thing to solve, and I think that's why we
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: are where we are. Cease fire open the straight, give
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: you running an economy back open, so they can sell
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: their oil and probably rebuild their military hardware and would
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: be the first order of business. Oh but that's right.
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: During the next sixty days, we're going to be addressing
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: their rebuilding of their military hardware or not, as the
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: case may be, just a small item to deal with.
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: Small also noted that I love this. Differences of interpretation
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: between US and Running officials appear to remain over the
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: precise mechanics of the agreement, according to RODDI and State
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: media report suggesting there may yet be work to be
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: done to ensure all parties are aligned on how the
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: deal's terms are understood and implemented. Huh, They both sides
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: to the signed agreement, assuming that's signed on Friday, don't
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: necessarily have eye to eye understanding of even the terms, like,
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: for example, differences appear to go into how shipping through
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: the Strait of Hormones will be structured in practice, US
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: officials describing the arrangement as ensuring no cost transit, while
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: the running officials and state linked report indicate that Tehran
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: believes the system will of maritime service fees or structured
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: transit charges for vessels passing through the waterway. So apparently
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: the Iranians think they're gonna paid for every boat that
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: goes through. And you know, it's kind of an unfortunate development.
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: After the war was launched against the Iranians, the strait
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: got closed, that's when the Iranians started talking about tolls.
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: They weren't talking about tolls before the bombing started. So
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: maybe that goes. If you're getting winning lost column kind
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: of things going, you'd probably give the Iranians a win
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: on that one. We'll see over the next sixty days
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: how that minor issue is resolved. Six forty eight right
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: now for five ks the talk station coming up at
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: the end of the program. End of the show this morning,
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: at the end of tail hour, we have our asked
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: the expert, my buddy Austin from Foreign Exchange, which is
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: the place you should go to get your automobile service.
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: Why?
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: Because you'll save money. If you have a traditionally imported
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: car Asia, You're or a Tesla, don't go to the dealer.
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: If it's out of warranty, of course, go to Foreign Exchange.
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: You can get your car fixed for less. Ask my buddy.
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: Brent sent me a letter. Austin's going to show up
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: today at the asked the experts segment to talk about
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: getting your car service for summer, you go on a
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: vacation and travel. There's the things you might want to
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: look out for. But the point of Foreign Exchange existence
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: rather than the dealership is because you have an a
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: SC certified Master technician working on your car. You walk
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: out with top quality parts, advanced diagnostics, honest, straightforward pricing,
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: a full warranty on whatever they're doing for you, and
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: more money in your pocket. And you know, Brent, save
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: what four hundred dollars? My buddy sent me the repair
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: bill for the letter talking about how he got his car.
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: They looked at by the Honda dealership they wanted six
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: hundred bucks. He's like, this car is old, it's not
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: worth it. Now I'm going to see what Foreign Exchange says.
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: They fixed it for less than two hundred I call
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: that good savings. That's the experience I have every time
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: I have my oil change. I save more than two
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: hundred dollars on just an oil change online. Find them
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: foreign acts dot com. Now Austin is with my choice
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: location for foreign Exchange. That's Westchester and that's the Tylersville
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: exit off of I seventy five. Just go east until
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: you see the Knees Chicken sign and turn right on
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: Kingland Drive right before the knes Chicken. You're gonna be there.
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: And when you get in tell them. Brian said, Hi,

- 1:04:16Speaker 1: letter X dot com fifty five KRC see the talk station.
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: Six fifty four.
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: Let's I'm straight to the phones in the moments we
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: have left in this segment because Todd's on the line. Todd,
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: thanks for calling today, and happy Tuesday to you, sir.
- 1:04:31Speaker 3: Hey, Happy Tuesday, Brian. I'll try and make it quick
- 1:04:34Speaker 3: because I know, you're up against the top of the
- 1:04:36Speaker 3: hour news about the Iran situation and about they've got
- 1:04:43Speaker 3: more time than we do. Well, that's correct. But the
- 1:04:46Speaker 3: other thing, and I think it's this has been a
- 1:04:49Speaker 3: problem for decades. We seem to think that everybody else
- 1:04:53Speaker 3: on the world thinks and use says the way we
- 1:04:57Speaker 3: do right and wait to say, and we think that
- 1:05:00Speaker 3: they will react the way we do. I mean, we're
- 1:05:04Speaker 3: moaning and whining about high gas prices right now. In Iran,
- 1:05:08Speaker 3: they're dealing with, you know, serious damage to infrastructure. Well
- 1:05:13Speaker 3: they're used to having it a little rougher anyway, So
- 1:05:18Speaker 3: you know, if they got to wait something out, you know, hey,
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: they weren't really used to it the way we are.
- 1:05:25Speaker 3: Like if we were to lose our electricity for one day,
- 1:05:29Speaker 3: you know, the world.
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: Would come to an end exactly exactly.
- 1:05:33Speaker 3: And yeah, and so you know, we inflict some punishment,
- 1:05:38Speaker 3: which I think is you know, helping our clause. But
- 1:05:42Speaker 3: you know, they can absorb a little bit more punishment
- 1:05:46Speaker 3: than we can because they're a little bit.
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: User used to having it rock and a sizeable parlor
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: population is our fundamentalist Islamist and they are willing to
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: struggle and fight off the mighty Great State at their
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: own personal discomfort. Why because well, they're dealing with Satan,
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: who's dropping bombs on them. I mean, you make a
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: great point. You know, we'd be better equipped to handle
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: the increase in gas prices if this was like a
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: post depression era. Remember in World War Two they had
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: rationing cards. Can you imagine the outrage in the population
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: if you were told you were only able to buy
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: x amount of meat pounds of meat a week. People
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: would be losing their minds. We don't live in that
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: warding where We've had it very easy because we are
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: the greatest economy of the world's ever seen. We've got
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: so much stuff. The city of Cincinnati is willing to
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: throw two million dollars at a music venue that doesn't
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: even need the money. Wow, I guess we're a washing
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: cast in Cincinnati as well. I'm sorry I had to
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: throw back that back in there. Yeah, and thank you
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: Michael for sending me the text. You know, they believe
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: in kron Krohn states is okay to lie to infidels,
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: which gives you a real sense of security over whether
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: they're going to buy into or commit to and follow
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: through with any terms that they quote unquote agree to
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: in this negotiation, which they won't. They've they've been demonstrating
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: that for years. And they also believe it's okay to
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: kill murder infants and elderly people and all of that.
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: Not exactly a moral group of fundamentalists we're dealing with here.
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: But if you try to stick yourself in the hands
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: of any fundamentalist Jurani and you understand that they believe
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: we are the embodiment of evil. Coming up in six
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: fifty seven, it's time to get the news, followed by
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: Signal ninety nine should be on the phone talking about
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: this outside study criticizing the Sinsint Police Department for its
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: traffic stops. Don't go away, celebrating two hundred and fifty years.
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: So the iHeartRadio one.
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: It's seven oh six here fifty five krc DE talk station.
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: Not gonna wait for it, just gonna go ahead and
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: jump on in cause Signal ninety nine as returned to
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: the fifty five cars, same morning show as promised. Now
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: always start up by recommending if you're on Facebook, and
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: I know only old geezers like me apparently on Facebook
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: and wonderful people like Signal ninety nine, which is really
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: a conglomerate of folks that have inside information about some
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: of the shenanigans that are going, which I like to
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: call it in since Ay, in the fire Department, the
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: police department, and of course City City Hall, Cheryl Long,
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: Iris Rolie and the like Welcome back Signal ninety nine
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: finder on Facebook and follower. It's great reporting and a
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: lot of high comedy. I love the post you put
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: up about being on the Morning show today, Signal ninety
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: nine with the pineapple. We all know what pineapple is.
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: Good to have you back on.
- 1:08:24Speaker 11: Good morning, Good to be back.
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: Yeah, I can say your bat pineapple insane. You have
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: pineapple for brains. Somebody finally got the idea of what
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: that actually is. Anyway, it's good to have you back on,
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: and real quick before we dive on into this alleged
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: bias that Campaign Zero described as a nonprofit organization who
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: looked at seventeen years worth of contact cards finding that
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: the police department apparently is racist in its traffic stops.
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: I note that Christopher Smithman told me the city budget
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: director set aside nine million dollars in the twenty twenty
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: seven budget for future litingation settlements. I guess that that
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: covers Chief Washington, but probably not enough for Police Chief
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: Fiji your reaction.
- 1:09:09Speaker 11: I highly doubt it will cover Chief Washington. There are
- 1:09:12Speaker 11: some other lawsuits that are getting ready to pop and
- 1:09:15Speaker 11: they know it.
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: And that's okay. You know why because Farmer Music Center's
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: getting two million dollars from the City of Cincinnati for
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: the music center that didn't ask for that money in
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: the first place, as far as we know. Anyway, Let's
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: pivot over the operation. This nonprofit called themselves Campaign Zero,
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: and they released this damning report showing the racial disparity
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: the number of people being stopped by the CINCINNTI police,
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: and like they even point out, you know, and weirdly
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: that even in white neighborhoods where white people have the
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: predominant amount of people, black people were the minority, they
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: still pulled over more black people than whites. I'll let
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: you address all this, but I want to start with
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: the foundation.
- 1:09:53Speaker 8: Now.
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: Contact cards. Those are what this organization looked at. And
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: according to the reporting from various local news media outlets,
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: four hundred and seventy thousand of these contact cards were
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: looked for looked at may cover the period two thousand
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: and nine to twenty twenty five that's relinked at some
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: point or originally to the collaborative Agreement. Can you just
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: explain to me and my listening audience what is the
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: point of these contact cards and what type of information
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: that they that they include, and why they are required
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: to be created by the police department.
- 1:10:26Speaker 11: So law enforcement has predominantly used FIR contact cards forever.
- 1:10:34Speaker 11: It's not just Cincinnati, it's all over the country. It's
- 1:10:40Speaker 11: it's been a practice that's been used. If you make
- 1:10:43Speaker 11: contact with somebody, maybe you don't maybe you decide not
- 1:10:47Speaker 11: to cite them for something. Okay, So like even a
- 1:10:50Speaker 11: park ranger catching somebody in the park doing something suspicious,
- 1:10:56Speaker 11: you know, they might walk up to them and say, hello, sir,
- 1:11:00Speaker 11: you know, how are you today? You know your dog's
- 1:11:03Speaker 11: not on a leash. I'm not going to cite to
- 1:11:05Speaker 11: you today, but I need to see your ide. They're
- 1:11:07Speaker 11: gonna they're gonna fill out an fi R, They're going
- 1:11:11Speaker 11: to fill out the contact build an information report. Okay,
- 1:11:14Speaker 11: a contact card. Basically what that does is, you know,
- 1:11:19Speaker 11: that gets saved and then later on, if if you
- 1:11:23Speaker 11: have a problem with this individual. Later you could say, oh, yeah,
- 1:11:27Speaker 11: we have a couple of different contact cards of this
- 1:11:30Speaker 11: guy in this neighborhood. At the same time, we had
- 1:11:36Speaker 11: a ration of burglary is going on, So they can
- 1:11:38Speaker 11: look at that later and say, you know this, this
- 1:11:42Speaker 11: could be, you know, a suspect. If this could not
- 1:11:46Speaker 11: be a suspect, this could just be you know, an
- 1:11:49Speaker 11: informational contact like hey, I'm just giving you a heads
- 1:11:52Speaker 11: up you can't park here, or hey, you know so
- 1:11:56Speaker 11: typically you'll get a contact card when you know there's
- 1:11:59Speaker 11: there's is not going to be a citation. They're just
- 1:12:03Speaker 11: interesting to see what your activity is, okay, and if
- 1:12:07Speaker 11: you you know, they're using the excuse it was, you know,
- 1:12:10Speaker 11: even the predominantly white neighborhoods, well, okay, let's talk about that.
- 1:12:16Speaker 11: What's happening. What's happening all over the city, but in
- 1:12:19Speaker 11: predominantly white neighborhoods as well. You're having vehicles stolen, you're
- 1:12:23Speaker 11: having handguns stolen out of cars, you're having car windows
- 1:12:27Speaker 11: broken and things stolen. I mean down at the jail
- 1:12:31Speaker 11: right now, the porceas the deputies can't even park near
- 1:12:35Speaker 11: the jail because they don't have protected parking, and they're
- 1:12:40Speaker 11: down there breaking their windows out constantly because they know
- 1:12:45Speaker 11: that these deputies can't take their handguns into the jail,
- 1:12:49Speaker 11: so they're hoping to find guns in their cars. I mean,
- 1:12:54Speaker 11: So it doesn't matter where it's at. The problem is
- 1:13:00Speaker 11: the data slot. The data slot, because first of all,
- 1:13:04Speaker 11: they went off of a twenty twenty consensus, which is ridiculous.
- 1:13:09Speaker 4: You never do that.
- 1:13:11Speaker 7: You never do that.
- 1:13:12Speaker 11: You you you don't look at potentially tourism type population
- 1:13:23Speaker 11: and you you don't add that in, and you don't
- 1:13:25Speaker 11: use a consensus year. If they if they did a
- 1:13:30Speaker 11: consensus year this next time, it wouldn't go as favorably
- 1:13:33Speaker 11: for them, would it.
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: Well, explain that to me, what is it? What is
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: this consensus thing, this consensus year? Why is that not
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: a reliable document or what is it comprised of? Just
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: fill in that blank for me in my listening audience.
- 1:13:47Speaker 11: Well, if you if you look at our at a
- 1:13:50Speaker 11: twenty twenty consensus year, what was included in the twenty
- 1:13:53Speaker 11: twenty consensus that wouldn't be included in the next consensus
- 1:13:56Speaker 11: according to law, you wouldn't illegals that would be counted
- 1:14:02Speaker 11: on the on the census. First of all, you wouldn't
- 1:14:04Speaker 11: have it also shouldn't include a tourist population that's in
- 1:14:11Speaker 11: and out of the city. It wouldn't you know, it
- 1:14:14Speaker 11: wouldn't include events and things of that nature that were
- 1:14:19Speaker 11: big in twenty twenty. We had a lot of people
- 1:14:22Speaker 11: in twenty twenty that didn't live in Cincinnati that specifically
- 1:14:26Speaker 11: came to Cincinnati to.
- 1:14:30Speaker 2: Protest.
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: So it's in Apple's the Oranges comparison. You can't use
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: that particular document because it doesn't accurately reflect the reality
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: of what we see day in and day out throughout
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: a calendar year in the city exactly.
- 1:14:43Speaker 11: You know, we had a massive year protest that year.
- 1:14:47Speaker 11: So a lot of the people that were given contact
- 1:14:50Speaker 11: cards that year didn't even live here. They here to protest,
- 1:14:53Speaker 11: They came here to write it. Okay, So okay, So
- 1:14:56Speaker 11: let's let that piece aside and let's focus on the
- 1:15:03Speaker 11: officers and the supervisors that they picked on in this report.
- 1:15:08Speaker 11: First of all, these are officers and supervisors that are
- 1:15:14Speaker 11: assigned to violent crime squads. They are assigned to uh SIGI.
- 1:15:22Speaker 11: You remember what CIGIC stands for.
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: Now, go ahead and explain.
- 1:15:28Speaker 11: Okay, they're they're they're they're they're assigned to the gun
- 1:15:32Speaker 11: crime unit. They're assigned to guns and gangs. They're assigned
- 1:15:36Speaker 11: to these are they are uh directed patrols into high
- 1:15:42Speaker 11: violence areas, Okay, high crime aria. So these officers are
- 1:15:48Speaker 11: going to have more contact with people of color in
- 1:15:57Speaker 11: these areas because they're they're working they're working gangs, they're
- 1:16:02Speaker 11: working guns, they're working violent crime. So that right there
- 1:16:08Speaker 11: to just completely wipe this out, that this whole thing
- 1:16:12Speaker 11: is for nothing. And do you know why the timing
- 1:16:15Speaker 11: of it is so important that it just came out?
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: Oh, do tell signal ninety nine.
- 1:16:21Speaker 11: Well, it's a big election year for Cincinnati. So Judge
- 1:16:27Speaker 11: Carrie Bloom has a has Susan Lucan running against her.
- 1:16:33Speaker 11: People are sick and tired of these out of controlled juveniles.
- 1:16:37Speaker 11: They want to vote for a change. They want to
- 1:16:39Speaker 11: get rid of Carrie Bloom. They want to put a
- 1:16:42Speaker 11: judge in there who wants to re establish law and
- 1:16:45Speaker 11: order in the juvenile court system. The public defenders do
- 1:16:50Speaker 11: not want that. The Public Defender's Office loves Judge Carrie
- 1:16:54Speaker 11: Bloom and Judge silver Steam and Judge Cross and all
- 1:16:58Speaker 11: these other judges that are political ideology judges. They're social
- 1:17:03Speaker 11: workers in robes, so they can't handle even the thought
- 1:17:10Speaker 11: of losing Terry Blue.
- 1:17:11Speaker 1: I see, so you've already answered the question was going
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: to ask you during this segment. We've got to take
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: a break here in a moment. But it was the
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: Hamilton County Public Defender's Office, apparently at least a cord
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: of the reporting I'm reading for Fox nineteen, that asked
- 1:17:25Speaker 1: this outside organization to do the survey. At the outset,
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: I was wondering, why does the Hamilton County Public Defender's
- 1:17:30Speaker 1: Office one have the authority to even ask for it?
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: And what was their interest in this? There's your answer,
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: it's politics.
- 1:17:37Speaker 11: Well at number two, Iris Rowley sits on the commissioning
- 1:17:42Speaker 11: board of the Hamilton County Public Defender's Office.
- 1:17:45Speaker 1: Well, how about that special that's so special? I'm sorry,
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: I got to say that doesn't surprise me a bit.
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: Hold on signal ninety now we're going to bring it
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: back to talk about this a little bit more. And
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: it just suggests that maybe in these trying times, maybe
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: a little prayer might be necessary for more people. You know,
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: you might want to consider that reconnecting with God and
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: regardless of your de talk station in a sevent twenty
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: here fifty five KRC detalk station trying to make it
- 1:18:11Speaker 1: happy to today and get over to Facebook and follow
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: signal ninety nine, you get all the details and information.
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: She broke down all everything she's mentioning on this program
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: on the outside nonprofit racial bias report, which makes the
- 1:18:24Speaker 1: police department look terribly racist in terms of pulling people
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: over for traffic stops. But it's far more than that,
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: as she pointed out in the last segment, you got
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: to take into account that, you know, and I don't
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: like the fact that they identified officers by name. That's
- 1:18:37Speaker 1: an intimidation tactic, isn't it, Signal ninety nine. I mean,
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: it seems so obvious, and it seems designed to, well,
- 1:18:43Speaker 1: you know what, I don't want to be named in
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: some outside non governmental organizations report as being a bad guy,
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: even though the only reason I had so many of
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: these individuals on my contact sheet list is because I
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: have been assigned to one of the more difficult details,
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: dealing with gang members. So I I find that really troubling.
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: It's sort of like an anti ice tactic. I mean,
- 1:19:03Speaker 1: do you do you perceive that as part of the
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: underlying motivation for mentioning names Signal ninety nine.
- 1:19:09Speaker 11: Oh absolutely, and that the problem is like the number
- 1:19:12Speaker 11: one most egregious supervisor on the list didn't have a
- 1:19:15Speaker 11: single contact card. Okay, these are supervisors, these are sergeants,
- 1:19:20Speaker 11: these are captains, a couple of which are black. So
- 1:19:25Speaker 11: they didn't even have contact cards. But they you know,
- 1:19:30Speaker 11: these contacts happened under their watch. So but let's set
- 1:19:34Speaker 11: that aside for a minute. The point of all of this, okay,
- 1:19:38Speaker 11: and the timing we're coming into summer. Okay. So if
- 1:19:43Speaker 11: if we whip up some racial tension and Iris presents
- 1:19:48Speaker 11: herself as the savior to fix the solution, what does
- 1:19:55Speaker 11: that mean to you?
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: Well, it means that it's like doing a definition epity,
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: doing the same thing over and over again expecting a
- 1:20:02Speaker 1: different result. Wasn't she Hasn't she been around for decades
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: fixing the problem? Has the problem been fixed me as directly?
- 1:20:11Speaker 11: So if this, if this report is accurate, which is
- 1:20:15Speaker 11: clearly is not, okay, then Irish Rowley has failed the
- 1:20:20Speaker 11: city of Cincinnati for over twenty five years. We paid
- 1:20:24Speaker 11: her million dollars to do something she wasn't able to do.
- 1:20:28Speaker 11: But now all of a sudden, her and Damon Lynch
- 1:20:31Speaker 11: the third they have a new program they're starting up.
- 1:20:34Speaker 11: They're going to fix all of it. So, uh that
- 1:20:38Speaker 11: and that just came right on Q like two days
- 1:20:41Speaker 11: after the report broke. Now there, you know, are you
- 1:20:44Speaker 11: non biased? You should? You should instant message me. You
- 1:20:47Speaker 11: could be part of this new you know, give me
- 1:20:50Speaker 11: a break. So let's say, let's just go ahead and
- 1:20:54Speaker 11: say what nobody else wants to say. Okay, Uh, violent
- 1:20:58Speaker 11: crime has an overwhelmingly high number of Black males and
- 1:21:06Speaker 11: female adult and juvenile that commit violent crime in the city, Okay,
- 1:21:14Speaker 11: much more so than any other race. What they don't say,
- 1:21:19Speaker 11: what they refuse to say, is that the victims of
- 1:21:23Speaker 11: these black offenders are predominantly black. So the black communities
- 1:21:28Speaker 11: are the ones getting hammered the hardest by the black criminals.
- 1:21:33Speaker 11: Nobody's protecting the black communities. And that's what Iris Rowley
- 1:21:37Speaker 11: is supposed to be doing. She's supposed to be helping
- 1:21:42Speaker 11: create solutions and black communities to quell violentlont crime, to
- 1:21:47Speaker 11: keep the juveniles under control, you know, to make the
- 1:21:52Speaker 11: city come together with the CPD and work together to
- 1:21:57Speaker 11: fix this problem. There's no they don't want a solution.
- 1:22:01Speaker 11: Do you remember last year when we blew up the
- 1:22:04Speaker 11: videos of IRIS obstructing and harassing PPD officers?
- 1:22:08Speaker 1: Oh yeah, absolutely?
- 1:22:11Speaker 11: Okay? Do you remember we called uh for her termination
- 1:22:14Speaker 11: of her contract. The FOP was very vocal about that
- 1:22:19Speaker 11: as well.
- 1:22:19Speaker 1: Do you you absolutely?
- 1:22:22Speaker 11: Okay? Well, the Hamilton County Public Defender's Office did a
- 1:22:25Speaker 11: post we scann with Irish Rowlely. You know what I mean?
- 1:22:30Speaker 11: What does that tell you?
- 1:22:32Speaker 5: Well?
- 1:22:33Speaker 1: And I'm glad you you brought back up the Hamilt
- 1:22:36Speaker 1: County Public Defender's Office and I guess they're concerned over
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: perhaps the loss of Kerry Bloom, the administrative judge of
- 1:22:43Speaker 1: in juvenile who is soft on crime. Well just let's
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: say it that way. And recognizing that, well.
- 1:22:50Speaker 11: They're terrified that that Christopher McDowell is going to be elected.
- 1:22:55Speaker 1: Well, yeah, terrified that he's going to be elected to
- 1:22:59Speaker 1: defeating Kerry the liberal activist person that's ahead of juvenile court. Now,
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: recognizing and springing from your point that the victims of
- 1:23:07Speaker 1: these juvenile crimes are typically black people, does that mean
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: that black people want to be harder and harsher on
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: crime in the city of Cincinnati, because you need a
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: sizeable black vote if you're going to win an election,
- 1:23:19Speaker 1: and there are a lot of black people in the
- 1:23:21Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati, are they going to vote in large
- 1:23:23Speaker 1: numbers to oust carry Bloom? Is that what they're afraid of?
- 1:23:27Speaker 11: That is what they are absolutely terrify though, how about that?
- 1:23:32Speaker 11: You know last November they were worried about losing the
- 1:23:35Speaker 11: mayor and city council. So you know this year they're
- 1:23:40Speaker 11: worried about losing some of their judges.
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: All right, proving my point that yes, if you live
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: in a black neighborhood are proominately black neighborhood, you definitely
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: want law enforcement. You definitely want the evil people out
- 1:23:49Speaker 1: of the neighborhood. You don't want gangs of youths running
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: around regardless of the color of their skin. You just
- 1:23:54Speaker 1: want an end of the crime. Huh. That counters the
- 1:23:57Speaker 1: narrative we hear from the Irish rollies of the world
- 1:23:59Speaker 1: all the time, doesn't it?
- 1:24:02Speaker 11: Yes, it does. And you know it's sad because I
- 1:24:05Speaker 11: don't know when she sold her soul for the paychecks
- 1:24:08Speaker 11: that she's getting. But she is not an advocate for
- 1:24:12Speaker 11: the brack community. She is an advocate for the Black
- 1:24:15Speaker 11: United Front, and that is completely different.
- 1:24:19Speaker 1: Or maybe maybe she's an advocate for Iris Rollie. Since
- 1:24:22Speaker 1: it's been very lucrative to be the fly and the
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: ointment for so many people in these various neighborhoods, h
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: are just simply looking for law enforcement.
- 1:24:30Speaker 11: Oh yeah, and you watched this new program her and
- 1:24:33Speaker 11: Damon Leinster coming up with. That's going to be very
- 1:24:36Speaker 11: lucrative too, and we're probably gonna end up paying for
- 1:24:39Speaker 11: something for.
- 1:24:39Speaker 1: That well, and you know where we're going to read
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: about it on Single ninety nine's Facebook page. Thank you
- 1:24:45Speaker 1: so much for your time and for breaking this down
- 1:24:47Speaker 1: from my listening audience and me and I appreciate all
- 1:24:50Speaker 1: of your efforts on behalf of all of the residents
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: of the city in Cincinnati. What you are doing is
- 1:24:54Speaker 1: a noble gesture, and well it seems consistent with what
- 1:24:58Speaker 1: the vast majority of the people in downtown one. They
- 1:25:00Speaker 1: want law enforcement, they want law and order, and then
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: you support both of those. Signal ninety nine. Thank you

- 1:25:53Speaker 5: well on the health. Fun for you. Been thinking and
- 1:25:55Speaker 5: praying it for you.
- 1:25:55Speaker 1: Thank you very much. It means the world to me.
- 1:25:58Speaker 1: And yeah, I still swimming a little bit, but yeah,
- 1:26:00Speaker 1: it's fine. I'm done with the treatments and I'm looking
- 1:26:02Speaker 1: forward to getting a pet scan in a few weeks
- 1:26:03Speaker 1: and that'll determine whether or not I got to continue
- 1:26:05Speaker 1: treatments or whatever's going to happen. But I'm I'm very optimistic.
- 1:26:09Speaker 1: So thanks very much. And hey, before we get to
- 1:26:11Speaker 1: the data center topic, which I know you wanted to
- 1:26:13Speaker 1: talk about this morning, it's a great topic. I just
- 1:26:16Speaker 1: need to bring up something on the gubernatorial race. I
- 1:26:20Speaker 1: very disturbed one of the most influential educators of my life,
- 1:26:23Speaker 1: just a brilliant man, had a profound impact on my
- 1:26:26Speaker 1: politics and my view of education. It disturbed me with
- 1:26:30Speaker 1: a post he put up on Facebook saying he's going
- 1:26:32Speaker 1: to basically sit out the gubernatorial election. He's no fan
- 1:26:35Speaker 1: of Amy acting for a million reasons. I can understand that,
- 1:26:38Speaker 1: but apparently just not convinced of Viva Gramaswami. I don't
- 1:26:41Speaker 1: know if he's a decent guy. It sounded to me
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: it was more than one of those you know, he's
- 1:26:45Speaker 1: looking for great and he's willing to throw out good
- 1:26:49Speaker 1: in the hopes that there's somebody else out there. But
- 1:26:50Speaker 1: if you sit it out, and you don't go for
- 1:26:53Speaker 1: someone who is obviously better equipped and has a demonstrable
- 1:26:57Speaker 1: successful background that could benefit every body in the state
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: of Ohio, you are pretty much guaranteeing Amy acting is
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: going to get elected. And that's one once one part
- 1:27:06Speaker 1: of it, and the other part of it is the
- 1:27:07Speaker 1: posts that I've seen and people who will openly acknowledge
- 1:27:10Speaker 1: they're not going to vote for vvig because he is
- 1:27:12Speaker 1: a person of color and or Hindu. And that just
- 1:27:16Speaker 1: appalls me that anybody in my listening audience would reject
- 1:27:19Speaker 1: vivig Ramaswami because he he does have the nomination, would
- 1:27:23Speaker 1: reject him because of the color of his skin or
- 1:27:25Speaker 1: his religion. You know, Tom, can you react to that.
- 1:27:28Speaker 1: I'm not sure where you are in the gubernatorial race,
- 1:27:30Speaker 1: but if you want to assure Amy acting as governor
- 1:27:32Speaker 1: of the state, yeah, and sit it out.
- 1:27:35Speaker 5: Well, Brian, you're you're you know, you're hitting on some
- 1:27:38Speaker 5: very serious concerns. I'm concerned, and I've expressed that concern
- 1:27:42Speaker 5: to the VEC personally anti Rob McCauley and to Alex
- 1:27:46Speaker 5: the chairman of the party, because this is it's actually
- 1:27:51Speaker 5: growing that. You know, we heard that last year and
- 1:27:54Speaker 5: and you know, I confronted some of my Christian friends
- 1:27:57Speaker 5: who would bring it up to me. I said, wait
- 1:27:58Speaker 5: a minute, you're the guys who are come to me
- 1:28:01Speaker 5: when some Christian candidate is being talked down because they're
- 1:28:05Speaker 5: a Christian. And now you're going to tell me that
- 1:28:07Speaker 5: you won't vote for the Vike because he's Hindu. I mean,
- 1:28:11Speaker 5: how how hypocritical is that? And it's it doesn't make
- 1:28:15Speaker 5: any sense, but it is something that we have to
- 1:28:18Speaker 5: understand is real. And these two issues we're going to
- 1:28:22Speaker 5: talk about today are linked the data center issue. I'm
- 1:28:25Speaker 5: becoming more and more convinced that the less with funding
- 1:28:30Speaker 5: from communists China, is using the data center issue to
- 1:28:34Speaker 5: split our Republican base, because that's exactly what's happening. And
- 1:28:38Speaker 5: I've been pleading with the Veke that you've got to
- 1:28:41Speaker 5: lead on this issue and that they're connected. It comes
- 1:28:46Speaker 5: down to this, In my opinion, it comes under this,
- 1:28:49Speaker 5: You've got to do something. I keep saying, I've been
- 1:28:53Speaker 5: talking on your show about the suspend the gas tax
- 1:28:57Speaker 5: to give people a little bit of a break, because
- 1:29:00Speaker 5: the Fox poll that came out a week and a
- 1:29:02Speaker 5: half ago said the number one issue in Ohio that's
- 1:29:05Speaker 5: going to determine how they vote is inflation and affordability.
- 1:29:10Speaker 5: Forty three percent said that was their most important issue. Hey,
- 1:29:14Speaker 5: how about give us a little relief on the gas
- 1:29:16Speaker 5: prices to show you actually give a damn and you're
- 1:29:19Speaker 5: going to take action to.
- 1:29:21Speaker 11: Help the people.
- 1:29:22Speaker 1: Well I did.
- 1:29:23Speaker 7: Are they going to do that?
- 1:29:24Speaker 5: No, they're not doing a damn thing.
- 1:29:25Speaker 1: Yeah, we can't handle a little bit of pain out
- 1:29:27Speaker 1: here in America. I'm talking about this a lot this morning.
- 1:29:29Speaker 1: I started out the morning I got on gas buddy,
- 1:29:32Speaker 1: and you know, in the area surrounding my neighborhood, there's
- 1:29:34Speaker 1: actually three dollars and twenty cent gasoline all around town,
- 1:29:38Speaker 1: three seventy five, So it's no longer four point fifty.
- 1:29:40Speaker 1: And we did hit a peak, but under Biden it
- 1:29:43Speaker 1: was five bucks. And how long did that last? Maybe
- 1:29:46Speaker 1: a year it went away. That's a temporary problem. And
- 1:29:50Speaker 1: question out loud as we parke, as we paused for
- 1:29:52Speaker 1: a break here, Tom, how in God's name is who
- 1:29:56Speaker 1: you vote for governor going to have an impact on inflation? Broa. Oddly,
- 1:30:00Speaker 1: that's a global reality, it's at least a national reality.
- 1:30:04Speaker 1: I don't know that any one governor's position to do
- 1:30:06Speaker 1: anything except maybe temporarily suspended gasoline tax. Not a huge,
- 1:30:10Speaker 1: you know, a huge relief on that one. But beyond that,
- 1:30:14Speaker 1: I think it's certainly out of his hands. I mean,
- 1:30:15Speaker 1: Trump promised the lower inflation on day one when he
- 1:30:17Speaker 1: got elected president. That hasn't really worked out because I
- 1:30:20Speaker 1: think it's out of his control too. You know, Tom,
- 1:30:23Speaker 1: don't go away. We'll bring you back. We'll talk data centers.
- 1:30:26Speaker 1: It's seven thirty seven if fifty five KRCD talk station,
- 1:30:29Speaker 1: and I want to strongly recommend the talk station. It
- 1:30:35Speaker 1: is seven forty one ififty five KRCD talk station. Right,
- 1:30:38Speaker 1: Thomas to Tom's Alaskassi. We the People Convention dot Org.
- 1:30:42Speaker 1: Tom pivoting back over to data center is obviously a
- 1:30:45Speaker 1: very divisive topic. Everybody in the world thinks the world's
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: going to end. They're not gonna be any electricity left.
- 1:30:50Speaker 1: They're gonna pollute the water, They're gonna use up all
- 1:30:52Speaker 1: the available water. It's got to be noisy, it's gonna
- 1:30:55Speaker 1: Lord knows. And I have been concerned from you know,
- 1:30:58Speaker 1: day one in this whole idea and concept of data
- 1:31:01Speaker 1: centers started bubbling up that yeah, the Chinese are the
- 1:31:05Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party, not the Chinese people. The race, God
- 1:31:07Speaker 1: bless it, are behind efforts to undermine our moving forward
- 1:31:12Speaker 1: in a direction that the entire world is going to
- 1:31:14Speaker 1: I paraphrase all this or what you know, qualify by
- 1:31:17Speaker 1: saying I don't like it. I don't want it to
- 1:31:20Speaker 1: be a thing. I want to have to you know,
- 1:31:22Speaker 1: like old days, I want letters to be written and mailed,
- 1:31:24Speaker 1: so you had three or four days before you got
- 1:31:26Speaker 1: a letter back. You know, world moved a lot slower.
- 1:31:29Speaker 1: It was a better place. People were smarter. They used
- 1:31:31Speaker 1: logic and reason and thinking skills in order to accomplish
- 1:31:34Speaker 1: tasks that AI will do for us. We're going to
- 1:31:36Speaker 1: be all dumber as a consequence. Let's just get that
- 1:31:39Speaker 1: out of the area or out of the way. But
- 1:31:41Speaker 1: it's here, and if somebody doesn't dominate it, like the
- 1:31:45Speaker 1: United States, then they're going to be potentially nefarious powers
- 1:31:48Speaker 1: like the Chinese Communist Party that will dominate it and
- 1:31:50Speaker 1: therefore control the algorithms and the way that stuff operates.
- 1:31:54Speaker 1: And you know, damn well, you and I are going
- 1:31:56Speaker 1: to end up being used or using a Chinese Communist
- 1:31:59Speaker 1: Party dominated and not something that we would least have
- 1:32:01Speaker 1: some control over here, Tom, Tom, if you can hear me,
- 1:32:11Speaker 1: we can't hear you. I'm not quite sure what happened
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: right there.
- 1:32:14Speaker 5: You go, you dropped out, and I didn't. I didn't
- 1:32:17Speaker 5: hear you for a second. But yeah, so you know
- 1:32:19Speaker 5: your frustration is real, and we're we're what I'm asking for.
- 1:32:24Speaker 5: And I think actually I've agreed with Governor Mike DeWine
- 1:32:27Speaker 5: for the first time in about eight years with he
- 1:32:29Speaker 5: put out a post about data centers and and and
- 1:32:32Speaker 5: then Glenn Beck had a really good take on this,
- 1:32:36Speaker 5: and you guys listening. You can find this at Porage
- 1:32:38Speaker 5: Countyteaparty dot com Portage County Teaparty dot com, where I'm
- 1:32:42Speaker 5: kind of putting all this Ohio data center stuff in there.
- 1:32:46Speaker 5: And listen to what Glenn Beck says, because he kind of,
- 1:32:49Speaker 5: you know, was going off what you were saying. They're
- 1:32:52Speaker 5: gonna build the data center somewhere, okay, and if it's
- 1:32:55Speaker 5: the Chinese who build them and not us, we're going
- 1:32:59Speaker 5: to really suffer from that. So we want to control it.
- 1:33:03Speaker 11: And what Mike de Line was saying is listen.
- 1:33:06Speaker 5: Local communities, you're in control. They can't just come and
- 1:33:10Speaker 5: build the data center. They have to cut a deal
- 1:33:13Speaker 5: with you and so get a good deal. And that's
- 1:33:16Speaker 5: all I've been saying. I just want to have an
- 1:33:19Speaker 5: intelligent conversation. And tonight I'm going to be going to
- 1:33:23Speaker 5: this Shaylersville Township meeting in Northern Ports County that I'm
- 1:33:28Speaker 5: afraid is going to be a circus because the Left
- 1:33:31Speaker 5: has been talking about busting people in office and everything
- 1:33:35Speaker 5: to promote no data centers and all this, and Glenn
- 1:33:38Speaker 5: Beck says, don't say no data centers, say no data
- 1:33:42Speaker 5: centers unless you protect our water, unless you make your
- 1:33:47Speaker 5: own power, unless you give us what we want. That's
- 1:33:51Speaker 5: the discussion I want to have tonight in Shaylersville. I
- 1:33:54Speaker 5: don't know if we're going to get to have that
- 1:33:56Speaker 5: because of the you know, the less attempt to make
- 1:33:58Speaker 5: sure they shot us.
- 1:33:59Speaker 1: Down, shout down, and that's the only tactic they have
- 1:34:02Speaker 1: because when it comes down to logic and reason and
- 1:34:05Speaker 1: dealing with the issues that they seem to be so
- 1:34:08Speaker 1: outraged about, which you could negotiate with a data center
- 1:34:11Speaker 1: that wants to come to your county. I mean, they
- 1:34:13Speaker 1: would just fail if they had to actually engage in
- 1:34:15Speaker 1: a discussion, so they scream, miss, you know what this
- 1:34:18Speaker 1: sounds like yet one more Marxist effort. When you look
- 1:34:22Speaker 1: at all the angry protesters going after ice, going after
- 1:34:26Speaker 1: police departments, I mean the list is Antifa, for example,
- 1:34:29Speaker 1: all of them we find that are well funded. Hmm.
- 1:34:31Speaker 1: I wonder where that funding comes from. Where do people
- 1:34:34Speaker 1: think that? Why would anybody want to be bussed in
- 1:34:38Speaker 1: from outside the area, maybe even from outside the state
- 1:34:41Speaker 1: to deal with an issue that relates to only residents
- 1:34:44Speaker 1: of Portage County.
- 1:34:45Speaker 5: Huh, that's funny how that works. It is right, and
- 1:34:48Speaker 5: so so we the people, all of us, you know,
- 1:34:52Speaker 5: have to have this conversation. You know, you got to
- 1:34:55Speaker 5: go look for the facts. And again, you know, I've
- 1:34:58Speaker 5: made the case. At that porgecintyteaparty dot com website, you'll
- 1:35:02Speaker 5: see a two minute video for me, and then you'll
- 1:35:05Speaker 5: see slides that they're going to present tonight that answer
- 1:35:09Speaker 5: the bloody questions. So, for instance, that the left is
- 1:35:13Speaker 5: out there putting stuff on social media that this data
- 1:35:16Speaker 5: center is going to use two million gallons of water
- 1:35:18Speaker 5: a week or something like that, and it's gonna use
- 1:35:21Speaker 5: three thousand gallons of water in a closed system that
- 1:35:26Speaker 5: looks like the radiator on your car. Hot on it.
- 1:35:28Speaker 1: Okay, let's elaborate on this. We come back because aun
- 1:35:30Speaker 1: the time, I know you got more on this one,
- 1:35:32Speaker 1: and I just have to interject real quick as we
- 1:35:34Speaker 1: go ahead to break Yeah, are they are they busting
- 1:35:36Speaker 1: in protesters to go after the golf courses that use
- 1:35:40Speaker 1: like how many gallons of water on a daily basis?
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: Don't go away, Tom will continue we the People Convention
- 1:35:45Speaker 1: dot org, portagekiny teaparty dot com or org. I guess
- 1:35:49Speaker 1: as well, don't go away. We'll be right back with
- 1:35:51Speaker 1: uh with one more with Tom. So is that Low's
- 1:35:53Speaker 1: Camps the one you want to talk to mortgage related issues.

- 1:36:08Speaker 1: to mortgages, and you are working with the best. You
- 1:36:10Speaker 1: will love working with Susette Low's Camp. She's just this sweet,
- 1:36:14Speaker 1: very knowledgeable person with like forty years in the mortgage business,
- 1:36:17Speaker 1: which I say that in fight. It's so hard to
- 1:36:19Speaker 1: believe she's been around that long. Just a wonderful human
- 1:36:22Speaker 1: being and quick in terms of turning things around. She
- 1:36:25Speaker 1: acts very quickly. She'll get an answer to your question.
- 1:36:27Speaker 1: It's always great rates at a low cost when it
- 1:36:29Speaker 1: comes to Susette Low's camp, So refinance that higher interest
- 1:36:32Speaker 1: rate mortgage. And I don't know where the interest rates are,
- 1:36:34Speaker 1: but that's a possibility as well. And if you want
- 1:36:37Speaker 1: to get with someone quickly call her right now. She

- 1:37:18Speaker 1: It is seven to fifty one I think if I
- 1:37:20Speaker 1: have care see talkstation Tom Zawastowski. Either people can mention
- 1:37:23Speaker 1: dot org Portage County for the meeting is gonna be
- 1:37:26Speaker 1: talking about the data center. They're gonna bus send people
- 1:37:28Speaker 1: from outside the area to scream about Portage County maybe
- 1:37:31Speaker 1: getting a data center to try to stop it from happening.
- 1:37:34Speaker 1: You know, they mentioned the water usage, and of course
- 1:37:36Speaker 1: you defeated that putting out at the closed loop system.
- 1:37:38Speaker 1: Maybe they'll use three thousand gallons. But I mentioned golf courses.
- 1:37:41Speaker 1: I looked up Portage County, Ohio. There are ten to
- 1:37:44Speaker 1: twelve primary golf courses from public to exclusive country clubs
- 1:37:48Speaker 1: tom in Portage County alone, and according to my Internet search,
- 1:37:52Speaker 1: the average American golf course uses roughly three hundred and
- 1:37:55Speaker 1: twelve thousand gallons of water daily for irrigation. No complaining
- 1:38:01Speaker 1: about that.
- 1:38:02Speaker 5: Fact, yeah, no complaining about that. Right Again, this is
- 1:38:06Speaker 5: manufactured that. This is what is hard for the average citizen.
- 1:38:11Speaker 5: Now thinks people actually tell the truth, and they want
- 1:38:13Speaker 5: to believe quote unquote what they think is the news,
- 1:38:16Speaker 5: and god forbid, they actually want to believe what they
- 1:38:18Speaker 5: see on social media. But it's just a fact that
- 1:38:23Speaker 5: the war is between the United States and China. The
- 1:38:26Speaker 5: rush to win the AI you know, race is between
- 1:38:30Speaker 5: US and China. And if you listen to the Glenn
- 1:38:34Speaker 5: Beck piece again, it's Porsche County. Teaparty dot Com is
- 1:38:37Speaker 5: the website where I'm kind of putting all this together.
- 1:38:40Speaker 11: You can watch the Glen Neck video.
- 1:38:41Speaker 5: It's it's nine minutes and thirty seconds. He agrees with
- 1:38:44Speaker 5: all you guys who are mad about the data centers.
- 1:38:46Speaker 5: He agrees it shouldn't raise our elector rais, it shouldn't
- 1:38:49Speaker 5: use our water and all that. But then he says,
- 1:38:52Speaker 5: you know, you got to make a good deal because
- 1:38:55Speaker 5: we want to build them. We don't want the Chinese
- 1:38:57Speaker 5: building them. We want to control our future, not be
- 1:39:01Speaker 5: controlled by the communist Chinese. I know people are listening
- 1:39:05Speaker 5: to this going come on, you know, China is not
- 1:39:07Speaker 5: that big of a threat, folks. Just do the research, okay,
- 1:39:11Speaker 5: And so you have this conversation, educate yourself. Thank you
- 1:39:15Speaker 5: for you. You know, Brian, this show is so important
- 1:39:18Speaker 5: because where else are you hearing this discussion? Where else
- 1:39:21Speaker 5: are you're hearing the other side of the story. I
- 1:39:24Speaker 5: did a poll in sailors though, Okay about you're getting
- 1:39:27Speaker 5: ready for this meeting to see how bad our situation was.
- 1:39:31Speaker 5: Eighty seven percent of the people polled said they were
- 1:39:34Speaker 5: against the data center when they didn't know anything about it,
- 1:39:37Speaker 5: and the reasons they gave why they were against the
- 1:39:40Speaker 5: data center, ninety four percent of their reasons were false.
- 1:39:44Speaker 5: That's what I'm going into tonight. Okay, it's just misinformation
- 1:39:48Speaker 5: and disinformation. But your show and our website and other
- 1:39:52Speaker 5: people are trying to bring out some facts and some evidence.
- 1:39:57Speaker 5: And I asked people to look at the facts, not
- 1:40:01Speaker 5: at the emotion of you know, this is bad, no
- 1:40:04Speaker 5: to data centers. That's not the right answer. Listen to
- 1:40:08Speaker 5: the gun back video. Even listen to Mike the line
- 1:40:10Speaker 5: he's at that portgeguyt party dot com as well. He's
- 1:40:13Speaker 5: got a little piece he says, just make a good deal.
- 1:40:17Speaker 5: I agree that the money in Shalersville is unbelievable. Nothing
- 1:40:21Speaker 5: has come to Shalersville in the last twenty years that
- 1:40:24Speaker 5: will have the financial benefit that this one data center
- 1:40:27Speaker 5: will have, and that it will double their township budget. See,
- 1:40:31Speaker 5: and that's the question I wanted to end on. How
- 1:40:33Speaker 5: much revenue is this going to generate for Portage County.
- 1:40:36Speaker 5: It's not zero sum. It's going to bring in fat
- 1:40:39Speaker 5: bank for the residents there and they can spend that
- 1:40:40Speaker 5: money whatever they want, right right.
- 1:40:43Speaker 11: And it's not they say, oh, it's not creating jobs.
- 1:40:46Speaker 5: It's such a jobs. It's the property taxes. This place
- 1:40:49Speaker 5: will pay like thirteen million dollars a year in property
- 1:40:52Speaker 5: taxes to Portage County. The township budget will double from
- 1:40:57Speaker 5: four in one thousand to eight hundred thousand. The school
- 1:41:00Speaker 5: we'll see a fifty percent increase in revenue. Okay, that
- 1:41:05Speaker 5: isn't coming from your home property taxes. I think that's
- 1:41:08Speaker 5: a good thing. I think that's something we've been fighting for.
- 1:41:11Speaker 5: And if you do the research in Fair Practice County, Virginia,
- 1:41:16Speaker 5: which has more data centers than anywhere else in the
- 1:41:18Speaker 5: United States because of the CIA and people like that,
- 1:41:21Speaker 5: their property taxes have crashed because that data centers are
- 1:41:25Speaker 5: paying for everything. They're paying for the schools, they're paying for,
- 1:41:29Speaker 5: the police, the fire, they're paying for everything. Make a
- 1:41:32Speaker 5: good deal, make the data center pay for everything you
- 1:41:36Speaker 5: need in your community. That's what the Wine is saying,
- 1:41:39Speaker 5: that's what Beck is saying, That's what I'm saying, and.
- 1:41:42Speaker 1: I agree with you the wholeheartedly. And again this is
- 1:41:44Speaker 1: not me wanting or embracing the concept of artificial intelligence.
- 1:41:48Speaker 1: But wake up, folks, it's here. We either get the
- 1:41:50Speaker 1: benefit of it we give it away to some other country. Period.
- 1:41:53Speaker 1: End of story.
- 1:41:54Speaker 5: Tom.
- 1:41:55Speaker 1: I appreciate you being around, appreciate what you do. We
- 1:41:57Speaker 1: either people convention dot org, and I wish you the
- 1:41:58Speaker 1: best of luck. Actually engage in a substantive debate about
- 1:42:02Speaker 1: these points with the crazy protesters once you ask them
- 1:42:04Speaker 1: where they're from, too. That'd be kind of curious to
- 1:42:06Speaker 1: find out. Ato sixth if anybot Kerr see de talk station.
- 1:42:12Speaker 1: It's Tuesday, and it's always made a better Tuesday because
- 1:42:16Speaker 1: we get to talk to Breitbart get the inside scoop,
- 1:42:18Speaker 1: and I always start by recommending Breitbart dot com, b
- 1:42:20Speaker 1: R E I T B A RT dot com where
- 1:42:23Speaker 1: you're gonna read what Francis Martel, who is the international editor,
- 1:42:28Speaker 1: Welcome back to the morning show. Francis. It's always a
- 1:42:30Speaker 1: pleasure having you on the show.
- 1:42:32Speaker 8: Thanks so much for having me on.
- 1:42:34Speaker 1: You know, Francis, maybe you have the inside scoop because
- 1:42:36Speaker 1: I'm looking high and low in every news site and
- 1:42:39Speaker 1: organization I can find. Apparently Trump already signed off on
- 1:42:43Speaker 1: this agreement with the Iranians, and the Iranians either scheduled
- 1:42:46Speaker 1: to or already have agreed that they're going to sign it,
- 1:42:48Speaker 1: perhaps on Friday. Uh, do you have any idea what
- 1:42:51Speaker 1: it says, Francis, because the text of the agreement is
- 1:42:54Speaker 1: suspiciously absent from media reporting and I really like to
- 1:42:57Speaker 1: know if we're gonna sign something, what's in it?
- 1:42:58Speaker 9: You know?
- 1:42:59Speaker 1: I mean why that is been released?
- 1:43:02Speaker 8: H Yeah, because they're going to have a big signing
- 1:43:04Speaker 8: ceremony on Friday, and so what the White House has
- 1:43:07Speaker 8: said is that they're going to release the full text
- 1:43:09Speaker 8: a little bit after that. I think it's really just
- 1:43:12Speaker 8: to have everyone's attention on Friday and to up the drama.
- 1:43:16Speaker 8: And it also kind of allows for some leeway if
- 1:43:18Speaker 8: anything goes wrong between here and Friday. But yes, it's
- 1:43:21Speaker 8: impressive that actually that the text hasn't leaked on either side, right,
- 1:43:26Speaker 8: the same Iranian state media but also the White House,
- 1:43:29Speaker 8: we haven't really seen. We've seen, you know, guesses, but
- 1:43:33Speaker 8: not really anything concrete where someone has looked to the text.
- 1:43:37Speaker 1: Well, and that's funny because that maybe the only point
- 1:43:39Speaker 1: of absolute agreement in the United States and the Iranian
- 1:43:41Speaker 1: officials have right now is to not release the text.
- 1:43:44Speaker 6: Wow.
- 1:43:45Speaker 1: Well, you know what, when you're trying to negotiate with somebody,
- 1:43:48Speaker 1: always spring from a point of agreement. So at least
- 1:43:50Speaker 1: we've got that going for us. But the devil seems
- 1:43:52Speaker 1: to be massively in the details. As it's been widely reported,
- 1:43:56Speaker 1: the Straight of Horror Moves will be open, and I
- 1:43:58Speaker 1: guess that involves the Iranian promising to not bomb things,
- 1:44:01Speaker 1: going through the Strait of Horror moves and removal of
- 1:44:03Speaker 1: the minds, et cetera, but also us opening up their ports.
- 1:44:06Speaker 1: So if we go there, then everything else needs to
- 1:44:10Speaker 1: be negotiated over what has been described as a sixty
- 1:44:13Speaker 1: day period, which be nuclear weapons, the missile program, and
- 1:44:17Speaker 1: the whole idea of will the Iranians be charged? It's
- 1:44:21Speaker 1: not tolls anymore, Francis, it's fees. So there's a huge
- 1:44:24Speaker 1: difference enter the Ministry of Truth in George orwell so,
- 1:44:28Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I'm just struggling to see. This
- 1:44:32Speaker 1: sounds like an extension of the cease fire that we
- 1:44:36Speaker 1: apparently have been in with the Iranians for months, although
- 1:44:39Speaker 1: we do still blow each other up from time to
- 1:44:40Speaker 1: time ignoring that. But is there really much more than
- 1:44:43Speaker 1: that other than getting the straight open to provide some
- 1:44:45Speaker 1: economic relief to the United States and the price of
- 1:44:47Speaker 1: gas and the rest of the world and everything else
- 1:44:49Speaker 1: we need.
- 1:44:51Speaker 8: That is the biggest part by far, And the thing
- 1:44:54Speaker 8: that actually gives me a little hope that this deal
- 1:44:56Speaker 8: won't be immediately broken is exactly how narrow it is.
- 1:45:00Speaker 8: The objective of the deal is essentially to remove all
- 1:45:03Speaker 8: third parties from being involved in this, right, and that
- 1:45:07Speaker 8: includes countries like China, like South Korea, like India that
- 1:45:10Speaker 8: have been really hurt economically tremendously by the Straight of
- 1:45:15Speaker 8: Hornmonos situation. So the goal of step one seems to
- 1:45:19Speaker 8: be stop hurting or involving countries that really have nothing
- 1:45:24Speaker 8: to do with this, particularly in East Asia, and then
- 1:45:28Speaker 8: we go from there. And that's what the sixty day
- 1:45:30Speaker 8: period is about, right, And so I do think that
- 1:45:34Speaker 8: we can at least hold to that, if only because
- 1:45:37Speaker 8: China has really been the most economically besides they'ran hurt
- 1:45:41Speaker 8: by the Straight of Hormoo situation. They're Iran's top oil clients.
- 1:45:45Speaker 8: They purchase a lot of natural gas and other fossil
- 1:45:50Speaker 8: fuels from the Gulf States. So China has really been
- 1:45:53Speaker 8: behind the scenes pressuring Iran and not so behind the scenes.
- 1:45:56Speaker 8: You know, chi Jin thinks personally made a call for
- 1:46:00Speaker 8: the straight of horm moves to open in a phone
- 1:46:01Speaker 8: call with the Crown Princes of Saudi Arabia Mohammed Vinsalman,
- 1:46:05Speaker 8: which is the most you know, the most insulting way
- 1:46:08Speaker 8: that you can sort of tell Iran to do something
- 1:46:11Speaker 8: is to use Saudi Arabia as the mediator. So China
- 1:46:15Speaker 8: has been vocally calling for this to stop, and Iran
- 1:46:18Speaker 8: really can't afford to lose the alliance with China because
- 1:46:22Speaker 8: that's the only country that both is big enough to
- 1:46:25Speaker 8: buy enough of their oil and also cares does not
- 1:46:30Speaker 8: care about US sanctions because you know, Russia doesn't care
- 1:46:33Speaker 8: about US sanctions either.
- 1:46:34Speaker 11: Prosia has its own oil.
- 1:46:35Speaker 8: They're not going to buy Iranian oil. So I think
- 1:46:38Speaker 8: that's really the leverage here that's going to make it
- 1:46:41Speaker 8: at least make this step work and take us to
- 1:46:44Speaker 8: a step two where global commerce is inaffected, gas prices
- 1:46:48Speaker 8: go down.
- 1:46:48Speaker 1: Well, this sounds to me. I guess I have to
- 1:46:51Speaker 1: think about it. China and India have very substantial, substantial militaries.
- 1:46:55Speaker 1: They have a lot of military hardware, bombs and airplanes,
- 1:46:57Speaker 1: et cetera. If they really wanted this horror moves open,
- 1:47:01Speaker 1: and they wanted that future without having to pay the
- 1:47:03Speaker 1: Iranians a toll for every time a boat goes through,
- 1:47:06Speaker 1: you think they might want to step up and maybe
- 1:47:08Speaker 1: render a little assistance and just wipe the regime out
- 1:47:11Speaker 1: in order to open it up and not have to
- 1:47:13Speaker 1: worry about the Straight being closed someday in the future.
- 1:47:16Speaker 1: Because the Iranians know full well since they've got drones
- 1:47:19Speaker 1: and these little speedboats, they've been able to fend off
- 1:47:21Speaker 1: America's biggest military of the United States and prevent them
- 1:47:24Speaker 1: from opening up the Straight because we don't want to
- 1:47:26Speaker 1: lose all of our you know, aircraft carriers and alike.
- 1:47:28Speaker 1: And I get that. So they have a lever over
- 1:47:30Speaker 1: our heads that they never had before the epic Fury
- 1:47:33Speaker 1: thing even started. What's your take on that sort of analysis, Francis, Well,
- 1:47:38Speaker 1: you know.
- 1:47:39Speaker 8: India and China are both allied with Iran through the
- 1:47:42Speaker 8: Bricks Platform, which is basically an anti American coalition of
- 1:47:46Speaker 8: rogue states. You know, Russia's in there, but you've also
- 1:47:49Speaker 8: got actors like Brazil that are kind of you know,
- 1:47:52Speaker 8: neutral to anti American, and Bricks has essentially been completely
- 1:47:57Speaker 8: devastated by this war because the UA is also in bricks.
- 1:48:01Speaker 8: So this war was the first time that you had
- 1:48:03Speaker 8: two bricks countries actively bombing each other, which completely undermines
- 1:48:08Speaker 8: the point of bricks, which is that we're all going
- 1:48:09Speaker 8: to unite to destroy the United States and you know,
- 1:48:12Speaker 8: and American hegemony and all of that. So if things
- 1:48:16Speaker 8: are already bad enough for bricks, if China and India
- 1:48:19Speaker 8: started using their militaries actively against Iranian interests, I think
- 1:48:23Speaker 8: that would that would end bricks completely. And so nobody
- 1:48:27Speaker 8: wants to do that because ultimately, the long term point
- 1:48:31Speaker 8: of bricks is to have a global currency and to
- 1:48:33Speaker 8: undermine the United States, and those goals are bigger than
- 1:48:36Speaker 8: what's happening now. The other issue with those two countries
- 1:48:40Speaker 8: is they have very large militaries, but they're very large infantries.
- 1:48:44Speaker 8: The Indian navy and the Chinese navy are well behind
- 1:48:48Speaker 8: the American navy. You know, China's trying to build its
- 1:48:51Speaker 8: second aircraft carrier and they're you know, it's taking them forever,
- 1:48:54Speaker 8: and there's all these hurdles to it, and even their
- 1:48:59Speaker 8: their infantry. To be honest, you know, it's the biggest
- 1:49:01Speaker 8: one in the world, but they just constantly have problems
- 1:49:04Speaker 8: with poorly trained and not physically fit soldiers, and they're
- 1:49:09Speaker 8: trying to you know, they put all this work into
- 1:49:12Speaker 8: their education system to try to get their men to
- 1:49:16Speaker 8: be more fit so that they can fight in the military.
- 1:49:19Speaker 8: So they are, you know, two of the most formidable
- 1:49:22Speaker 8: militaries in the world by far, but they are also
- 1:49:25Speaker 8: like significantly behind a military like ours, or honestly even
- 1:49:30Speaker 8: like Ukraine's at this point, which has so much real world.
- 1:49:33Speaker 1: Experience, wonderful response. You know, I've got to contemplate so
- 1:49:37Speaker 1: much more than just exist on its face. I just
- 1:49:40Speaker 1: keep thinking, Look, Iran's a thorn on everybody's side, obviously
- 1:49:43Speaker 1: causing problems for China and India. But China and India
- 1:49:46Speaker 1: like Iran being a thorn in our side, So they're
- 1:49:48Speaker 1: willing to deal with the harm caused by the regime
- 1:49:51Speaker 1: that they're friends with, even though it seems to me
- 1:49:53Speaker 1: they might have leverage over that regime to just stop
- 1:49:55Speaker 1: it and and and reopen the supplies that are not
- 1:49:58Speaker 1: going through anyhow a are we getting anything out of this? Ultimately?
- 1:50:02Speaker 1: Francis Martel from Breitbart, because I know a lot of
- 1:50:05Speaker 1: people are comparing this to like, Okay, this is just
- 1:50:06Speaker 1: another Barack Obama type agreement because fundamentally, for the last
- 1:50:11Speaker 1: since nineteen seventy nine, we can't trust the Iranians. I mean,
- 1:50:14Speaker 1: they have a religious perception that we are in fact
- 1:50:16Speaker 1: a satan, We are the great evil. They hate us
- 1:50:19Speaker 1: and want to eradicate us. Is there any reason to
- 1:50:21Speaker 1: believe that Iranians are going to honor anything that they
- 1:50:23Speaker 1: agree to in this down the road or are we
- 1:50:26Speaker 1: just setting ourselves up for a repeat of this at
- 1:50:30Speaker 1: some future point.
- 1:50:33Speaker 8: Well, I think they have a lot more to lose
- 1:50:34Speaker 8: than we do. I think the thing that makes this
- 1:50:37Speaker 8: deal work and what distinguishes President Trump from President Obama,
- 1:50:41Speaker 8: is that Trump took out, you know, dozens of Iranian officials,
- 1:50:46Speaker 8: including the Supreme Leader. It just obliterated the top leadership
- 1:50:52Speaker 8: of the IRGC and of the Iranian government in general,
- 1:50:55Speaker 8: and at any given moment you could just do that again.
- 1:50:58Speaker 8: And he's really gone out of his way to kind
- 1:51:01Speaker 8: of establish his authority as a president who is willing
- 1:51:06Speaker 8: to make the hard decisions and just straight up kill people,
- 1:51:09Speaker 8: and has done that with Iran with more than any
- 1:51:12Speaker 8: other country, starting with Costemp Soleimani during his first term
- 1:51:15Speaker 8: in twenty twenty. Kasem Soleimani was arguably the world's most
- 1:51:19Speaker 8: dangerous terrorist, was the head of Iran's international terror operations,
- 1:51:24Speaker 8: and one air strike just took him out. And with that,
- 1:51:27Speaker 8: you know, the IRGC COUDS force has never really recovered.
- 1:51:30Speaker 8: It's become largely irrelevant to Iran's military because the mastermind
- 1:51:35Speaker 8: was taken out. So I think the Iranians know in
- 1:51:38Speaker 8: the back of their minds as much as they want
- 1:51:41Speaker 8: to push and they have this ultimate goal to destroy Israel,
- 1:51:44Speaker 8: to destroy the United States. It's a long term goal,
- 1:51:48Speaker 8: and they can't achieve that goal if Trump keeps killing
- 1:51:52Speaker 8: off their best minds. So that's what they have to lose.
- 1:51:55Speaker 8: It's not so much that this deal is going to
- 1:51:57Speaker 8: give us anything except for obviously better gas prices, and
- 1:52:02Speaker 8: you know, we're not at war, which is nice, but
- 1:52:04Speaker 8: it's that Iran has too much to lose to say
- 1:52:06Speaker 8: no to this deal.
- 1:52:07Speaker 1: And see, that's the kind of leverage we have over
- 1:52:10Speaker 1: the Iranians, right now, sadly though, the political the politics
- 1:52:13Speaker 1: seep into this. This seems to be so much about
- 1:52:15Speaker 1: the November election an Americans' willingness to vote for something
- 1:52:19Speaker 1: that wouldn't necessarily be in their best interests i e.
- 1:52:21Speaker 1: Democrats and all that would go along with that, merely
- 1:52:23Speaker 1: because the price of gasolene's gone up seventy five cents. So,
- 1:52:27Speaker 1: you know, if we could hold out, if we could
- 1:52:29Speaker 1: suck it up and ignore the pain that we're feeling
- 1:52:31Speaker 1: at the pump and the other inflationary realities that go
- 1:52:34Speaker 1: along with it, we could keep the Iranian ports closed
- 1:52:37Speaker 1: and basically continues starving them to death. And if that
- 1:52:40Speaker 1: had to go on over time, I think ultimately would
- 1:52:42Speaker 1: win that battle of attrition.
- 1:52:45Speaker 8: I agree with that the worst case scenario for us
- 1:52:48Speaker 8: is that a lot of Americans would suffer economically and
- 1:52:52Speaker 8: we would have we would get a fully democratic government.
- 1:52:56Speaker 8: But there is no there's no worst case scenario where
- 1:53:00Speaker 8: the constitution just ends the you know, the current American
- 1:53:03Speaker 8: regime is just completely destroyed and we just have a
- 1:53:05Speaker 8: new constitution. Whereas for Iran, the worst case scenario is that, right,
- 1:53:10Speaker 8: is that the current the status quo, the constitution and
- 1:53:13Speaker 8: all of the structures of the Raignan government collapse entirely.
- 1:53:17Speaker 8: And so again they have so much more to lose
- 1:53:20Speaker 8: than we do. That said, the big fear is here
- 1:53:24Speaker 8: that Iran is not Venezuela, where you have a group.
- 1:53:28Speaker 8: There's there's one Delsi Rodriguez in there that you can
- 1:53:30Speaker 8: grab and make interim president and start rebuilding around her.
- 1:53:37Speaker 8: Everyone is the leadership in Iran is a radical extremist
- 1:53:40Speaker 8: and there's no viable opposition to replace, right, there's no
- 1:53:45Speaker 8: you know there there's names that are thrown out there,
- 1:53:47Speaker 8: but it's people in exile. It's you know, figureheads that
- 1:53:51Speaker 8: look good on cable news but don't have real world
- 1:53:53Speaker 8: governing experience. And so the power vacuum situation is very real,
- 1:53:58Speaker 8: and that I think that's what's tying the White House's hands. Well,
- 1:54:01Speaker 8: we can't just go in there and take everybody out,
- 1:54:04Speaker 8: although we took out a lot of people, because you
- 1:54:06Speaker 8: don't want another Libya. You don't want a country with
- 1:54:09Speaker 8: ninety million people and a bunch of enriched uranium to
- 1:54:12Speaker 8: just have no leadership become paranalists. And that's something that
- 1:54:16Speaker 8: we have to take into consideration when we look at
- 1:54:19Speaker 8: the deal and we're like, well, why don't we just
- 1:54:20Speaker 8: take them all out? Well, you know, we can't just
- 1:54:23Speaker 8: leave a hole where the Iranian regime used to be.
- 1:54:26Speaker 8: And that also answers your question of you know, why
- 1:54:28Speaker 8: doesn't China or India just you know, go along with
- 1:54:31Speaker 8: taking out the people that are there. It's because we
- 1:54:34Speaker 8: don't know what comes next, right, I mean, they're in
- 1:54:36Speaker 8: the same boat that we are in that perspective.
- 1:54:39Speaker 1: Well, and do you think hindsight's twenty twenty? But do
- 1:54:42Speaker 1: you think we underestimated the value of the religious fundamentalism?
- 1:54:46Speaker 1: I mean if there were, I mean I have to
- 1:54:48Speaker 1: suggest to people, if someone asks you to renounce your
- 1:54:50Speaker 1: faith in Jesus Christ or something, I think you'd be
- 1:54:52Speaker 1: pretty reluctant to do it, especially if you think the
- 1:54:55Speaker 1: foe that is being that is asking you to renounce
- 1:54:58Speaker 1: your faith is like Satan for example. I mean, they're
- 1:55:01Speaker 1: not willing to bend. They're willing to deal with tremendous pain,
- 1:55:05Speaker 1: economic pain, real pain, loss of infrastructure, whatever, because they
- 1:55:10Speaker 1: have a profound belief in the religion. It just doesn't
- 1:55:12Speaker 1: seem to me that they took that into consideration. Again,
- 1:55:15Speaker 1: if you try to liken it to a situation of Venezuela.
- 1:55:18Speaker 1: You knock off the leader there. It's not a religious
- 1:55:20Speaker 1: it's not a theocracy. It's just a guy leading the
- 1:55:23Speaker 1: country who's not there anymore. It's a totally different landscape
- 1:55:26Speaker 1: with the Iranians, isn't it.
- 1:55:28Speaker 8: I think that's part of it. But I think the
- 1:55:31Speaker 8: part that is bigger even than that is personal salvation. Right,
- 1:55:36Speaker 8: you know what happens to these officials when the regime collapses.
- 1:55:40Speaker 8: If you look at the Iranian people, the Iranian people
- 1:55:43Speaker 8: hate their government, They absolutely hate it, and they hated it,
- 1:55:47Speaker 8: you know six months ago before the government killed thirty
- 1:55:50Speaker 8: to forty five thousand of them because they dare to
- 1:55:54Speaker 8: have peaceful protests. So there's no stepping down, there's no
- 1:55:59Speaker 8: ma little exit where you just go to a nice
- 1:56:01Speaker 8: jail like you hang out with pigd. You're like, they're
- 1:56:03Speaker 8: they're going to get the Kadafi ending and I think
- 1:56:06Speaker 8: that's really terrifying to them. And obviously the religious aspect
- 1:56:10Speaker 8: goes into that, where if you have a disgraceful death,
- 1:56:13Speaker 8: then you know, you don't get to Jana, right, you
- 1:56:16Speaker 8: don't get to the Islamic version of heaven. You don't
- 1:56:19Speaker 8: get the glory that comes with jihad if you're just
- 1:56:23Speaker 8: you know, killed by a mob, especially if there's God
- 1:56:25Speaker 8: forbid women in the mob. You know, then the that
- 1:56:29Speaker 8: plays into the survival instincts too. They aren't afraid to die,
- 1:56:33Speaker 8: but they are afraid to die dishonorably. And we've seen
- 1:56:36Speaker 8: that with many jihadists, from Isis to Hamas to Hasballah.
- 1:56:41Speaker 8: I mean, I love the stories of you know, the
- 1:56:43Speaker 8: Isis terrorists who ran away from the all female Kurdish
- 1:56:46Speaker 8: army because because if they got killed by a woman,
- 1:56:49Speaker 8: they couldn't go to heaven. So that is definitely part
- 1:56:53Speaker 8: of you know, part of the situation there and what
- 1:56:56Speaker 8: pushes their survival.
- 1:56:57Speaker 1: In religion and the goofy rules that go along with
- 1:57:00Speaker 1: Francis Martel Brydburn, International Editor, Real quick here before we
- 1:57:03Speaker 1: part company, I have to ask you what of the
- 1:57:05Speaker 1: Iranian people does this not leave them basically where they
- 1:57:10Speaker 1: were if we understand the basic parameters of what might
- 1:57:12Speaker 1: happen down the road with this agreement because regime is
- 1:57:14Speaker 1: not changing, So is this a letdown for them?
- 1:57:18Speaker 8: Well, you know, I don't know what else they would want,
- 1:57:21Speaker 8: right The alternative to this would be a full American
- 1:57:24Speaker 8: occupation Marshall Plan Japan style, and I don't think that
- 1:57:28Speaker 8: was ever happening. We're leaving them with no Ali Kamani,
- 1:57:32Speaker 8: We're leaving them with the elimination of dozens of their oppressors.
- 1:57:37Speaker 8: There's a new and greener class of oppressors that are there,
- 1:57:41Speaker 8: So if they want to try overthrowing these guys, I
- 1:57:44Speaker 8: think it would be easier than the last group that
- 1:57:47Speaker 8: we took out. So it's not nothing. But I'm sure
- 1:57:50Speaker 8: there are Armanians who are disappointed, who are hoping that
- 1:57:52Speaker 8: it would just be the end. But you know, it's
- 1:57:55Speaker 8: a massive country and that regime has been there for
- 1:57:58Speaker 8: fifty years, and we don't have We have neither the
- 1:58:02Speaker 8: capability nor the right to just decide to eliminate that regime.
- 1:58:06Speaker 8: That has to come from the Iranian people. They have
- 1:58:08Speaker 8: to find a leader, they have to organize around someone
- 1:58:11Speaker 8: who can run a government properly, and we.
- 1:58:15Speaker 1: Can't do that for them, and we can't in a
- 1:58:17Speaker 1: ground war. Seems to be insurmountable challenge because look what
- 1:58:19Speaker 1: happened in Afghanistan. After decades they have the Russians tried it.
- 1:58:22Speaker 1: We tried it, and not as many people in as
- 1:58:24Speaker 1: much real estate, and still didn't seem to accomplish much
- 1:58:27Speaker 1: over time. Francis Martel leave me with that final thought
- 1:58:30Speaker 1: as we part company. Thank you so much for your time,
- 1:58:32Speaker 1: and I'll recommend my listeners week on fifty five KRC
- 1:58:35Speaker 1: the talk station A twenty nine Here fifty five KRCD
- 1:58:40Speaker 1: Talk station. It's Tuesday. It is that time of week.
- 1:58:42Speaker 1: We get the alliterative alliterative segment a speak Brian called
- 1:58:46Speaker 1: the Daniel Davis Deep Dive. You ca get your Daniel
- 1:58:48Speaker 1: Davis Deeve Dive regularly throughout the week. Wherever you get
- 1:58:50Speaker 1: your podcasts, we're fortunate to get his sage wisdom in
- 1:58:53Speaker 1: terms of things military on Tuesdays at this time. Retired
- 1:58:56Speaker 1: Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis, Welcome back to the morning show,
- 1:58:59Speaker 1: sir right.
- 1:59:00Speaker 2: Always a pleasure to be here. Thanks for having me.
- 1:59:02Speaker 1: Are you gotta say I told you so.
- 1:59:07Speaker 11: Early?
- 1:59:07Speaker 1: Now let me get providing the necessary context, because early on,
- 1:59:11Speaker 1: when people were enthused that this situation with Iran, the war,
- 1:59:15Speaker 1: the dropping of bombs, you know, the the beheading of
- 1:59:18Speaker 1: the regime was going to be akin to a Maduro
- 1:59:22Speaker 1: like operation, and you were saying, Nope, nope, not gonna happen.
- 1:59:26Speaker 1: He's a religious fundamentalist. It's not gonna happen. This is
- 1:59:28Speaker 1: not a similar operation you regularly and reminded us. It's
- 1:59:31Speaker 1: the size of two point four times the size of Texas,
- 1:59:34Speaker 1: lots of real estate there, and they have a lot
- 1:59:38Speaker 1: of missiles and drone technology, a lot of it that
- 1:59:41Speaker 1: we don't know about that will allow them to keep
- 1:59:43Speaker 1: the Straight of Horror Moves closed. Guess what you were right?
- 1:59:46Speaker 1: Our American military, with all its might, was not able
- 1:59:49Speaker 1: to open the strait of Horror moves on its own.
- 1:59:52Speaker 1: And I think that speaks volumes to the problems that
- 1:59:54Speaker 1: you told us about in earlier earlier on in our discussions,
- 1:59:58Speaker 1: you were right. If we could open the straight of
- 2:00:00Speaker 1: Horror moves, we would have done so by now. Have
- 2:00:02Speaker 1: I got that right?
- 2:00:04Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 2:00:04Speaker 2: Unfortunately, you do have it completely correct. Yeah, if we
- 2:00:08Speaker 2: could have, we would have done it, And if we
- 2:00:09Speaker 2: could do it now, we would still do it.
- 2:00:11Speaker 6: We wouldn't be going after any kind of an agreement
- 2:00:14Speaker 6: of any nature at all, especially one where we don't
- 2:00:17Speaker 6: have all the leverage so we get to call the
- 2:00:19Speaker 6: shots and set the terms, and we.
- 2:00:21Speaker 2: Just don't have it.
- 2:00:22Speaker 6: And so Iran is very well aware of the leverage
- 2:00:24Speaker 6: they have and the inability that we have to take
- 2:00:28Speaker 6: our profound military power that we have, which is no kidding,
- 2:00:32Speaker 6: it is substantial, but for this task to try to
- 2:00:36Speaker 6: take a country and all the things you just mentioned there,
- 2:00:38Speaker 6: it's just not enough, no matter how much anybody may
- 2:00:41Speaker 6: wish it to be so.
- 2:00:42Speaker 2: And so now we're face to face with that stark reality, and.
- 2:00:46Speaker 6: We're gonna have to deal with something that, Brian, we
- 2:00:48Speaker 6: just haven't had to deal with in a generation, which
- 2:00:51Speaker 6: is that we don't just get to call the shots
- 2:00:53Speaker 6: and somebody else has leverage and we're.
- 2:00:54Speaker 2: Gonna have to give something to get something.
- 2:00:57Speaker 1: Well, I think this speaks volumes to about modern warfare,
- 2:01:02Speaker 1: does it not that a country like Iran, or literally
- 2:01:05Speaker 1: any country on the planet, how drug cartels use drones.
- 2:01:08Speaker 1: These drones have been a massive sea change in military operations.
- 2:01:13Speaker 1: A country like Iran with thousands of drones hidden away
- 2:01:15Speaker 1: in some small buildings and scattered about, can literally blow
- 2:01:19Speaker 1: up multi billion dollar ships floating around out there in
- 2:01:22Speaker 1: the straight up horror moves. I mean, that's a fact,
- 2:01:24Speaker 1: Jack isn't it.
- 2:01:26Speaker 6: Yeah, And that's even one of the lesser issues here,
- 2:01:29Speaker 6: because it's not even though that the drones can hide
- 2:01:31Speaker 6: in buildings in everywhere, it's if they can hide underground.
- 2:01:35Speaker 6: And because Iran has had the foresight to perceive that
- 2:01:39Speaker 6: they would at some point being a war with the
- 2:01:41Speaker 6: United States, they spent the last twenty years building these
- 2:01:45Speaker 6: underground bunkers. And we just showed a graphic on our
- 2:01:48Speaker 6: show this past week of one specific of these underground
- 2:01:52Speaker 6: facilities called the yazz Yazd and it's got a graphic
- 2:01:56Speaker 6: that shows how it's under this huge mountain complex, under
- 2:02:00Speaker 6: multiple layers of shifting granite formations that have formed course
- 2:02:04Speaker 6: over millions of years.
- 2:02:06Speaker 2: Is way below that.
- 2:02:07Speaker 6: So it is a physical impossibility for even a nuclear
- 2:02:10Speaker 6: weapon to get at it. And that's where they have
- 2:02:13Speaker 6: at least thirty of these things that are operationally. According
- 2:02:15Speaker 6: to US intelligence, you just can't knock them out, especially
- 2:02:19Speaker 6: you can't just defeat it wrong with airpower loan. It's
- 2:02:21Speaker 6: a physical impossibility and unforcedly. Brian, part of my frustration
- 2:02:25Speaker 6: is that was well known ahead of time by our
- 2:02:28Speaker 6: military experts, buyer intelligence, and it just puzzles me why
- 2:02:32Speaker 6: we went ahead anyway.
- 2:02:33Speaker 1: That's a legitimate question to ask, and I think another
- 2:02:36Speaker 1: legitimate question to asking, because you've got great inside resources.
- 2:02:39Speaker 1: Got to applaud you to that or for that. Donald
- 2:02:42Speaker 1: Trump has already signed on to this agreement, this MEMORANU
- 2:02:45Speaker 1: of understanding that's going to set the terms for us
- 2:02:47Speaker 1: over the next sixty days to literally negotiate the most
- 2:02:49Speaker 1: difficult components of whatever we can negotiate with Iranians. But
- 2:02:53Speaker 1: we're gonna apparently open up the straight We're gonna let
- 2:02:55Speaker 1: them use their ports. That part over with. Have you
- 2:02:58Speaker 1: read the agreement? I can't find it anywhere, Daniel Davis.
- 2:03:03Speaker 6: Well, it hasn't been agreed or hasn't been rased anywhere
- 2:03:05Speaker 6: by the US.
- 2:03:06Speaker 2: That's been the point of frustration.
- 2:03:08Speaker 6: And I was just looking scanning just before we came
- 2:03:11Speaker 6: on the air here, and I'm talking about a lot
- 2:03:13Speaker 6: of President Trump's biggest allies and biggest supporters. There's a
- 2:03:16Speaker 6: lot of frustration because we keep talking about this deal
- 2:03:19Speaker 6: he signed that. He keeps telling everybody how it's better
- 2:03:22Speaker 6: than the Obama deal and it's incredible in all this,
- 2:03:25Speaker 6: but no details, none whatsoever.
- 2:03:27Speaker 2: Meanwhile, the uranium side has released. What it says is
- 2:03:31Speaker 2: the text that both sides signed on.
- 2:03:33Speaker 6: To an agreed and believe me, it is nothing like
- 2:03:35Speaker 6: what President pardon me, what President Trump is saying, and
- 2:03:38Speaker 6: it's got a lot. That's one of the reasons is
- 2:03:40Speaker 6: supporters are frustrated because they're saying, surely this is not
- 2:03:44Speaker 6: really the text. It's misinformation, right, because they say, until
- 2:03:48Speaker 6: you release it.
- 2:03:48Speaker 2: We don't know.
- 2:03:50Speaker 6: And this is the problem of it since this was announced,
- 2:03:52Speaker 6: is that you have the Ranian side with what their
- 2:03:55Speaker 6: version is, and if their version is rot it is
- 2:03:58Speaker 6: a profound strategic.
- 2:04:00Speaker 2: Failure and loss for us.
- 2:04:02Speaker 6: And it's hard to imagine President Trump signed on one
- 2:04:04Speaker 6: of those things. And the alternative is is that later
- 2:04:07Speaker 6: on President Trump says, here's my version, and it's different,
- 2:04:10Speaker 6: and then we don't have an agreement at all. So
- 2:04:14Speaker 6: there's gonna be some fireworks. Let me just say, one
- 2:04:17Speaker 6: way or another, there's gonna be fireworks when President Trump
- 2:04:19Speaker 6: finally releases what he says is the mutually agreed decision
- 2:04:23Speaker 6: either in a run or on our side, because I
- 2:04:26Speaker 6: just don't see how those things work together.
- 2:04:28Speaker 1: Well and the conflicting information we're getting on the Trump
- 2:04:30Speaker 1: so I we're saying there's not gonna be any tolls.
- 2:04:32Speaker 1: The Orionians, I think, are calling them fees now, so
- 2:04:34Speaker 1: we have some manical nonsense going on in there. But
- 2:04:37Speaker 1: they're going to insist on charging boats to get through.
- 2:04:39Speaker 1: That's a situation that didn't exist before the bomb started
- 2:04:42Speaker 1: dropping on Iran. Now I kind of scratched my head
- 2:04:45Speaker 1: over that. Donald Trump says, We're not nobody's gonna be
- 2:04:47Speaker 1: paying any fees or tolls or whatever you want protection
- 2:04:51Speaker 1: monies like I like to refer to it. But if
- 2:04:55Speaker 1: they insist on that, that's gonna be a real game changer.
- 2:04:58Speaker 1: I can't imagine him agreeing to that. But here's the
- 2:05:00Speaker 1: question I want to throw in there with that. They
- 2:05:03Speaker 1: you know, Trump and others keep referring to this window,
- 2:05:06Speaker 1: the sixty day window to negotiate all these finer, more
- 2:05:10Speaker 1: problematic points with the Iranians. I am certain, my guess
- 2:05:14Speaker 1: chie Leaf reading, they're gonna that'll be extended because the
- 2:05:17Speaker 1: devil's in the details, and they well, I'm sorry, we
- 2:05:19Speaker 1: couldn't hammered it out. Aren't we just trying to get
- 2:05:21Speaker 1: through the November election with relief on gas prices? Is
- 2:05:24Speaker 1: this really boiled down to that the American people don't
- 2:05:26Speaker 1: have the willpower to withstand a longer term battle of attrition.
- 2:05:30Speaker 1: We keep the ports in Iran shut down and keep
- 2:05:33Speaker 1: their economy on its knees over the long term, if
- 2:05:36Speaker 1: we could last that out, maybe we could win. Or
- 2:05:40Speaker 1: I mean that seems by our only option right now
- 2:05:42Speaker 1: is a long term keep them shut down strategy.
- 2:05:45Speaker 6: Well, if that's all there was, if it was just
- 2:05:47Speaker 6: worried about keeping the Iranians side in pain and maybe
- 2:05:51Speaker 6: eventually they would succumb, that would be one thing, and
- 2:05:54Speaker 6: you could maybe go on a long term.
- 2:05:56Speaker 2: We can't handle that.
- 2:05:57Speaker 6: Our economy cannot handle sixty more days of the straight
- 2:06:02Speaker 6: up ward moves.
- 2:06:02Speaker 2: Being closed out.
- 2:06:03Speaker 6: I forget about it into November or anything longer than that.
- 2:06:06Speaker 6: And that's what Iran is calculating. They're well aware that
- 2:06:09Speaker 6: the pain from our blockad is profound. And I've talked
- 2:06:12Speaker 6: to a number of Iranian sources and every one of
- 2:06:14Speaker 6: them said, it is no joke.
- 2:06:16Speaker 2: This is really hurting us.
- 2:06:17Speaker 6: It's causing inflation, it's causing a lot of unemployment, a
- 2:06:21Speaker 6: lot of shortages of key like medicines and other kind
- 2:06:23Speaker 6: of things. They say it is serious, but they say
- 2:06:26Speaker 6: that we're used to that, we've done it before, we
- 2:06:29Speaker 6: can do it again. But we calculate you can't. That
- 2:06:32Speaker 6: the paint on you is too great. And you mentioned
- 2:06:35Speaker 6: in there about this issue about the charging tolls. I
- 2:06:39Speaker 6: Ran definitely says that's part of the agreement. We will
- 2:06:42Speaker 6: have the fees as we call them.
- 2:06:44Speaker 2: The Iranians say that Trump is a greach.
- 2:06:46Speaker 6: Is sowhere between ten and twelve billion dollars upfront releasing
- 2:06:50Speaker 6: of frozen funds.
- 2:06:51Speaker 2: US says, no, we have it.
- 2:06:53Speaker 6: The Iranian side has said you're going to give us
- 2:06:54Speaker 6: three hundred billion dollars in reparations.
- 2:06:56Speaker 2: President Trump says, no, we're not. So those are profet
- 2:07:00Speaker 2: the incompatible.
- 2:07:02Speaker 6: And then there's the biggest issue of all, and that's
- 2:07:04Speaker 6: the Israeli situation, because Israeli people are furious.
- 2:07:10Speaker 2: Apparently that Yahoo's going.
- 2:07:12Speaker 6: To be forced to stop operations to withdraw from Lebanon,
- 2:07:15Speaker 6: which they say is integral to their national security.
- 2:07:18Speaker 2: And they say, we're not going to abide by that.
- 2:07:21Speaker 6: If that's the term, because it's our national security. So
- 2:07:24Speaker 6: how does all this fit together?
- 2:07:25Speaker 2: Brian?
- 2:07:26Speaker 6: That's why I say there will be fireworks whenever Trump
- 2:07:29Speaker 6: finally releases whatever he says are the terms.
- 2:07:32Speaker 1: Wow, there's so much to take in on that, and
- 2:07:35Speaker 1: none of it honestly looks very good. I just keep
- 2:07:38Speaker 1: going back. The price of gasoline obviously is really impacting
- 2:07:41Speaker 1: the American people aren't willing to deal with just the
- 2:07:43Speaker 1: increase in price of gasoline. But as you suggest, this
- 2:07:46Speaker 1: is a global issue that's straight is so vitally important
- 2:07:50Speaker 1: to the global economy, and maybe there's something to be
- 2:07:53Speaker 1: learned on that down the road. Perhaps in the future
- 2:07:56Speaker 1: we can do a workaround. Maybe we can get more
- 2:07:58Speaker 1: pipelines to get the oil out of there in ways
- 2:08:00Speaker 1: that don't require the strait of horror moves. Because Daniel Davis,
- 2:08:03Speaker 1: your audience know that at any moment in time, if
- 2:08:07Speaker 1: somebody rubs them the wrong way or they get whatever
- 2:08:09Speaker 1: objective they want to achieve, they get to shut it
- 2:08:11Speaker 1: down again.
- 2:08:13Speaker 2: Yeah, you've broken the rubicon here.
- 2:08:15Speaker 6: And this they thought about this, This has been a
- 2:08:17Speaker 6: concern for forty seven years that they could do this,
- 2:08:20Speaker 6: but they never did do it because they calculated the
- 2:08:23Speaker 6: cost would be too high or whatever. But once it
- 2:08:25Speaker 6: was thrust upon them, that was the only leverage they had.
- 2:08:28Speaker 6: But now then they've used it and they've seen.
- 2:08:30Speaker 2: How successful it is and how we can't force it out.
- 2:08:33Speaker 6: I guarantee you that if they get rubbed the wrong way,
- 2:08:36Speaker 6: that will be not far from their mind. That will
- 2:08:39Speaker 6: be like right up front. So we're in a new
- 2:08:41Speaker 6: age here, and something's gonna have to be different. But
- 2:08:43Speaker 6: it's going to be many years before we can get
- 2:08:46Speaker 6: to those workarounds. But we got to get this deal
- 2:08:48Speaker 6: solved first.
- 2:08:49Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough, Now the other component I want to
- 2:08:51Speaker 1: talk with you real briefly about Daniel Davis, the China
- 2:08:55Speaker 1: and India issue. Now, as I understand it, China has
- 2:08:58Speaker 1: a vested interest with keeping your Iran regime. The Indians
- 2:09:01Speaker 1: they're happy with the Irani regime as well, because of
- 2:09:03Speaker 1: course there are thorns in the United States side. But
- 2:09:06Speaker 1: they've also they're probably being hit harder than anybody else
- 2:09:09Speaker 1: as I've learned China, for example, with the stoppage of
- 2:09:12Speaker 1: the flow of oil out of Iran. It seems to me,
- 2:09:15Speaker 1: why don't they have some vested interest in maybe wiping
- 2:09:18Speaker 1: out the regime themselves or otherwise convincing the Iranians that
- 2:09:21Speaker 1: it's important for them to stop this nonsense. So they
- 2:09:24Speaker 1: can get their oil and we can return to some
- 2:09:26Speaker 1: regular order.
- 2:09:28Speaker 6: Well, let me tell you about what the Chinese have done,
- 2:09:30Speaker 6: because they also have foreseen this possibility, and they had
- 2:09:33Speaker 6: a massive strategic petroleum reserves. I forget the numbers that
- 2:09:37Speaker 6: ours are, but theirs are are like five times larger
- 2:09:41Speaker 6: than ours are. So what they have done is nobody
- 2:09:44Speaker 6: expected to do. Which is why the lid's been kept
- 2:09:46Speaker 6: on are somewhere even close to one hundred dollars a
- 2:09:48Speaker 6: barrel since it started. Is because they have started importing
- 2:09:52Speaker 6: like five million barrels of oil per day less than
- 2:09:56Speaker 6: they did before, choosing instead to draw down their petroleum reserve.
- 2:10:00Speaker 6: They had so much because they bought at a very
- 2:10:02Speaker 6: very low price, so their calculation is, hey, let's just
- 2:10:05Speaker 6: use that for now instead of paying this higher price
- 2:10:08Speaker 6: we would get on the open market. Well, that has
- 2:10:10Speaker 6: helped all of us because now then this otherwise like
- 2:10:14Speaker 6: twenty million barrel to day shortfall that would have happened
- 2:10:17Speaker 6: has been reduced to about fifteen. And then you have
- 2:10:20Speaker 6: demand destruction in other places and the some of stuff
- 2:10:23Speaker 6: going on in India and Indonesia, in South Korea, Japan
- 2:10:27Speaker 6: where they're already cutting back so all that together has
- 2:10:30Speaker 6: kind of kept the lid on. But if China decides
- 2:10:32Speaker 6: we're not going to do that anymore, We're not going
- 2:10:34Speaker 6: to draw that down now, then where everybody has some
- 2:10:37Speaker 6: huge spike in global oil process because there's just not
- 2:10:39Speaker 6: enough supply. But there's a limit to how far China
- 2:10:43Speaker 6: can go on that, as there is these other kinds
- 2:10:45Speaker 6: of things as well. And so I think that as
- 2:10:48Speaker 6: I'm reading the Tvas, so to speak, Johina is saying,
- 2:10:51Speaker 6: all right, we're going to go a pretty good period
- 2:10:53Speaker 6: of time on this, but then there's going to have
- 2:10:55Speaker 6: to be something done. And I think they have calculated
- 2:10:58Speaker 6: the damage to American prestiges worth the draw down here
- 2:11:01Speaker 6: because Trump is out there flapping in the wind and
- 2:11:04Speaker 6: Shina can actually say, hey, we've been trying to help out.
- 2:11:07Speaker 6: You know, we're trying to you know, do you guys
- 2:11:09Speaker 6: have favor here? But that's got a limit and it
- 2:11:11Speaker 6: won't put pressure on Iran. They'll put pressure on us
- 2:11:15Speaker 6: alone with all these other people that are suffering, like
- 2:11:18Speaker 6: in Europe, Black and Asia, like in Africa. So I
- 2:11:21Speaker 6: think that their calculation is it's going to be putting
- 2:11:23Speaker 6: more pressure.
- 2:11:24Speaker 1: On us, not less truly appreciate your analysis on this
- 2:11:27Speaker 1: as I have from well since we've been talking together
