• 0:18
  Speaker 2: S got no idea what's going on?
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Summon it up quite nicely with that little sound by
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Jess Derecker, execute producer of the program. Brian Thomas right here,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: glad to be and I hope you are having a wonderful day. Initially,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: shout out and thanks to everybody, shout up the listener
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: lunch yesterday, and thanks to the folks at Madtree Brewery
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: over in Summit Park who traditionally well. I enjoyed my lunch.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: It was very nice, got to see some people, meet
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: some people, and had an emotional outbreak here for a moment.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Someone had commented, because I get people an update on
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: my current cancer status, I gotta go back to treatment
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: start that next Thursday. But someone said that they had
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: been praying for me, and you know, I really got
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: it a kind of an allergy outbreak when I found
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: out that she had added me to the church's prayer list.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: I thought that was just really moved me to maybe
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: a little bit of an emotional outbreak, I have to admit,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: but what a wonderful thing, you know, you surrounded my
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: bad news. And then there's something like that which just
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: brightens your day up. That someone out there was thinking
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: of me enough to add me to the church bulletin prayerless.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: So I was included in the prayer list and that
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: was just the sweetest thing. So thank you very much
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: for that, and thanks to everybody who made it. I
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: always enjoy the fellowship in the conversation. We'll do it
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: again next month, February fourth, going to be at Ron's Roused.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: My mom and I just date there the other day.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Really had a really nice time with Mom. And the
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: food's always great at Ron's rus a variety of course,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: and they have really good German food. By the way,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't think of Rodzer is a German food.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: It's chicken. But that's where we're going to be on
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the fourth of February. If you want to mark that down,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I would love to see you. So what's coming up
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: to Yesterday? It was such a fantastic show, Thanks again
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: to Joe Streeker for lining up all the guests from
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: six o'clock in the morning all the way through the
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: end of the program. Wall to wall guests and some
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: really good stuff from notably Christopher Smithman who was really
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: on a tear, couldn't get it out of his system
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: enough on Monday with a spleen event, so he came
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: back yesterday to have another go at it, most notably
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: in connection with the after have Provoll wanted to increase
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: taxes and of course, in the name of public safety,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: got some developments on that they had the family of
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the most recently slain person in the West End. Queen
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Iri read we all talked about that eleven year old
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: got shot and gild They were asking, they were demanding
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: answers yesterday about the situation when the cameras got some information.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: But we find out that the city really just signed
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: in its hands and didn't do jack squat up until
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: like fairly recently. So anyway, the mayor thinks that he
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: needs to take more money from the earners in the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati to pay for more safety. But then again,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: read the whole list of the things the mayor wants
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: to do with this additional tax revenue, and you'll see
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: that it also includes some social elements like affordable housing.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump actually coming to the maybe rescue on that
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: he is moving to ban big investors from buying up
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: single family homes and another topic we can talk about later.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I have mixed emotions on that. As a capitalist, how
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: is it that the government can tell any business or
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: person what they can and cannot buy. Of course, as
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: a populist and someone who is seeking to maintain the
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: House lead and the Senate lead going into November, Donald
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Trump wants to do something to satisfy those out there
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: that are trying to achieve the American dream and be
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: able to afford to buy a house. What do you
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: do you tell institutional investors that they can't go around
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: buying up single family homes. That sounds to me like
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: a proposal that would come from a Democrat. I gotta
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: be honest with you on that. Do I think if
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I step back from it, it might lower some housing costs.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Perhaps Institutional investors have literally billions. They make cash offers
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: all the time. They will outbid you. If they want
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: to buy a house up for the purpose of turning
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: into a rental property, they can do it, pricing you
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: right out of the market, and then of course using
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: that to maintain revenue. As on a going forward basis.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: It's a wonderful business model. It's been going on since
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: the housing collapse. Well, the chickens may have come home
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: to roost, exacerbated come home to roost, exacerbated by the
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: COVID crisis, which told people that no, you don't need
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: to come into work anymore, you can work from home. Hell,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: that's awesome. I'm moving way over there and I'm going
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: to buy a property over there. And of course we
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: all know what happened in the aftermath of that, not
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: enough houses to go around. We got this illegal immigrants
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: surge to twenty million people coming in. They need a
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: place to live. Supply demand, and institutional investors are a
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: part of that problem. In some areas, institutional investors own
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: up to like twenty five percent of the total housing
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: volume that's in any given city. What do you think
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: about Donald Trump trying to stop institutional investors from buying
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: up homes? Don't I can't see the Democrats objecting to
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: that conceptually because they said it sounds like it comes
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: out of their playbook. Anyway, Rambling all over the place today,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: FOP President Ken Kobert yesterday also talking about Mayor Aftab
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Purval and the tax increase and of course the problems
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: with crime in the city. There's some new crime stats out.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: We might be able to get to those this morning.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Apparently city gun violence has hit a record low, yet
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: if you look at any other any given neighborhood, you
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: may find out that the actual violence level has gone
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: up dramatically. Depends on where you'll live. Hmmm, big picture
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: with Jack Avidan yesterday, how Democrats see people and comments
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: on Venezuela. It's the second half that I just I
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: thought it was just brilliant, not it's always brilliant from
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Jack Aviden, but I even recommend it. If you're going
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: to listen to a podcast and you'll have a couple
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: of minutes listen to the second half of Jack's commentary.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Although it's worth listening to the entire thing. It's the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: second half, though, that I said, cut paste and send
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: to your friends so they can hear his brilliant analysis
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: as well. AFP endorsement, including Zach Hines. That was yesterday
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: with Americans for Prosperity and we've got some good candidates
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: AFP on the job on that one. Zach actually called
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the program toward the end of the show, thanked for
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the endorsement, and he'll be looking forward to joining you
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: and I here on the Morning Show and talking about
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: his candidacy. As we move forward to in November, it's
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: some information from Steve Velzo Timber County Veteran Services, and
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Gary Benoit with his book Vanguard of the American Costs
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: or the History of the John's Birch Society. They have
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: been on the cutting edge of getting verbally abused for
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: what appears. They joked with him about conspiracy theories which
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: always had not always which tend to work out and
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: actually prove themselves over time. But you know, if you're
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: the first person to raise something that seems to be well,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: it sounds like a conspiracy theory, then you're called a
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: conspiracy theorist. You're labeled a loom. That's pretty much the
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: John Birch Society's entire history. And yet what they wear
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: a warn us about and have told us about in
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: advance at the time, they're called looms that quite often
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: turned out to be true. So and he's been wrestling
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: with that reality since he joined the Bird Society back
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: in the sixties. Gary Benoyt's book It's Only three Bucks
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: is a link right there fifty five cars dot com
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: so you can learn about it yourself. And then finally,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: judge Unapolitano, which I know, lawless presidency. We know he's
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: not a fan of Trump. I know that I'll defend
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Neapolitano all day long because he does analysis under the law, law,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: state of fuck something. You know, the law can be
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: different depending on which judge you're in front of. For example,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: you know, constitutional scholars can differ about what any particular
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: clause within the Constitution says or means. And of course
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: we have hundreds of years, two hundred and fifty years
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: worth a case law analyzing the Constitution, telling us what
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: it says, what it doesn't say, and then quite often,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: you know, appropriately so reversing prior rulings which held one
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: way and we go three six or one hundred and
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: eighty degrees in the opposite direction. This is the evolution
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: of the law. And Nepolotan is entitled to his opinions.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: And I know he's no big fan of doctor Trump.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I acknowledge that. But then again, in defense of napolitan
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: who is a friend of mine, I don't mind the
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: disagreement on these things. And I always get callers to say, yeah,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Rodgia Poulton, he hates Trump. Maybe I've never heard him
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: one of those words. Of course, his criticism to Trump
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: come come clearly through. But behind the Trump criticism is
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: the basis for the criticism, which is his interpretation of
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the Constitution, which Thomas Massey shares, Senator Ran Paul shares.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Fewer and fewer people share a strict interpretation of the Constitution.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: So there's his opinion. You're entitled to your own. But
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to remove someone just because he doesn't
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: like Donald Trump. As I put it out yesterday, I said,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Strecker tries all the time to get Democrats on the program. Hey, Joe,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: would Greg Landsman come on the show? That's funny, I know,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: would you agree with something Greg Landsman wants to do?
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Probably not. I mean most of my listening audience maybe
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: a little little libertarian like me conservative, but I hope
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I have some left wingers out there listening as well.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: You don't call in the show. You'll be offering an opinion.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Perhaps my listeners may reject, but we can engage in
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: a debate about it. John Cranley used to come on
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: all the time, Joe, you're right, Well, he may have
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: had juevos. That may be true, and we disagreed. We
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: even disagreed on the air from time to time. But
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: he was a champ about it. He was a sport.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: He came on, said what his position was, defended it,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: and he come back then later. Never took it personally,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: of course, not He was a decent man. He still is.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Do I like him politically? Not all the time? Right,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: you can't use Dusty Roads, and we're talking about democrats.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Thus these more republic look at our conservative then almost anyone.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: He's a holdover from the Kennedy era. Dusty here are
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: You're all right in my book, But the point being,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: of course, differences of opinion are welcome here. And you
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: get angry. I get emails from people, Hey, I turn
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: him off. You don't want to listen to him. That's
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: like a toddler of polding his ears and closing his
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: eyes and going l l L L l D. Why
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: not hear it and then engage in a thoughtful analysis
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: of why you disagree with him. Because the minute of
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: something negative about Trump comes out of his mouth, people
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: just like I don't want to hear it anymore. That's
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: a form of Trump arrangement syndrome in and of itself.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Isn't it. I'm capable of and have criticized the Trump
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: administer I did it just yesterday. This whole Greenland thing,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: I don't get it, and we can have it. We
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: can have an argument about that as well, we can
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: engage in a thoughtful conversation about it. But I don't
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: think military involvement is going after and caps Greenland is
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: good for America's interest, at least in terms of global opinion.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: And people roll the rise and say, well, screw global opinion,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: we don't care what the rest of the globe says.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: We're gonna do. It's good for us. Yeah, well that
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: doesn't end up working out real well in the long
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: term see history. But regardless, you can have a difference
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: of opinion about that and you discuss it, but don't
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: be the person who just wants to shut it down
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: the minute you hear some SoundBite that you find offensive.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Roll through it, figure out what the logical, reasonable and
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: debatable point is. Make your points and arguments without calling names,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: and maybe we will all be more enlightened in the
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: final analysis. And that's really only what I want out
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: of this morning show to try to foster and encourage
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: I know it's what the other side does, Joe, Yeah,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: I know. And when they don't agree, that's when you
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: hear start hearing the name calling and the screaming and
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: a lot of curse words usually involved them as well.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Of course, yes, there was a Minnesota protester. This is
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: what the moment they were waiting for the other day
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: and pivoting over to this ICE agent. They were engaging
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: in federal law enforcement much in the same way your local.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Since a police officer is engaging in local law enforcement,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: they are doing their job. Ask Iris Rolie about that
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: she likes to interfere with police officers doing their job.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: We have video of that one, right. Well, at least
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Iris didn't try to run over a police officer with
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: her car. This is what they've been waiting for. This
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: is the George Floyd moment of the ICE law enforcement efforts. Finally,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots results in someone dying,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: not being This particular idiot was blocking the road, refusing
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: to move her vehicle and then you know, when confronted
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: by ICE agents, you tried to run them over. The
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: officer should have gotten out of the way. Okay, yeah,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: be a law enforcement officer, and you make split second decisions.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: When you got a five thousand pound vehicle, we'd be
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: accelerating at you. It's a deadly weapon. This kind of thing.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Did you should expect? You know, you won't get shot
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: if you comply with the demands of law enforcement. If
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: she had just, you know, done what the law enforcement
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: officers said to do, it would have gone on her
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: merry way. I complied with the instruction from federal law
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: enforcement officers. I had moved my vehicle and went home.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: That is the logical outcome of what should have happened yesterday.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: And yet look taken a cue from our elected officials
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: who hate ice, Get Ice out of the neighborhood. Ice
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: a bunch of terrorist thugs. We've been listening to this
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: rhetoric since Trump got sworn in and started cracking out
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: an immigration illegal criminal immigrants notably. And you get these
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: protesters rolling out and wow, are in they organize and
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: going back to George Floyd, this one, this is going
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: to be even probably or well probably bigger. If I
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: had to read tea leaves and anticipate what's going to happen,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: We're going to have massive protests today. They are a
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: well organized machine and is a network of all kinds
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: of different causes that are going to join together, even
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: though these causes are so disparate. Communism, climate change, Venezuela protesters,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: anti Israel protesters, if there's something anti they are all
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: going to gather together and run around and scream about
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: this person being murdered. And I heard there at the
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: top of the air news they're closing the schools up
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: in Minnesota out of abundance of caution because of these
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: organized protests that are going to show up today. That's great,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: one more thing to keep kids out of school. And
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: they can get people to show up literally anywhere at
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: any time. There's so many useful idiots out there with
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: a bunch of time on their hands, sitting around twiddling
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: their thumbs, binging Netflix until they get the call from
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: their leftist organization. We need to meet here today at noon. Oka. Hey,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I'm free, I'll go. Yeah, that can happen any damn
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: day of the week. Joe's got his sign in the
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: trunk of his car. Good one, Joe. Sorry for the
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: ramble this morning. It's just, you know, the world just
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: seems becoming unglued. I understand that, you know what, someone
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: put me on a prayer list in their church pamphlet
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: and that made my day yesterday. I'm sure I will
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: run into something like that that will make my day
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: to day and help me put aside this insanity going
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: on in the globe and make me realize that life
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: is worth living and life can be a beautiful thing
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: and wonderful thing. He's got to focus on what is
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: beautiful and wonderful about it. Five twenty one right now,

• 16:08
  Speaker 1: someone called and screamed at Joe and was just ranting
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: at Joe Stracker as if he has anything to do
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: with what Napolitana says. But I can't believe you could
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: put anybody on your program that is anti Trump. Well,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: this this isn't a one hundred percent twenty four to
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: seven pro Trump always Trumper station. WHI to the point
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: I made the last segment. I'd like to foster and
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: encourage debate. And you know I not am not an
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: always Trumper kind of guy. I will listen. Get Rocanna
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: on the program. Line up, Billy and Omar, give me
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Alexander Casio Cortez come on the show, Joe. None of them,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: not one of them appeals to anybody in my listening audience.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: But wouldn't it be an interesting conversation if someone the
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: left was willing to sit down and thoughtfully engage in
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: a debate about a given topic. Was someone is not
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: going to launch into a name calling ceremony or session
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: with him? Huh? We got shared brown on once. That's right, once?
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: And why do you think he didn't come back? Joe?
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I didn't call him a name? Did I know? We
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: did engage in an exercise in a thoughtful conversation about
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: the subject matter, didn't we We just didn't agree, and
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: he didn't come back in spite of being offered the opportunity.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Five twenty six fifty five cares of the dog stations
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: local stories coming up. We'll get the Uh, what's the
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: status of the cameras over the West End. We're going
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: to find out they got the meeting that was yesterday.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Family demanding answers out. This little girl got shot and
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: killed in the promises of city council to bring cameras
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: to the West End neighborhood. Among other stories, don't go way,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: be right back five one three, eighter, D two to three, Talk,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: PIP five fifty on eight and T phones. You want
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: to engage in debate or discussion. You got a topic
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: you want to talk about it, I'd love to hear
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: from you. Let's start with Maga girls, since I was
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: on that the the pro Trump anti Trump sentiment out
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: in the world. Police investigating this after a woman's car
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: was shot at while she was driving home on Ronald
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Reagan Highway. This happened Monday night, Fox nineteen interviewing the
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: woman behind the wheel, Jody no last name, and I
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: think that's probably a good thing. Driving home Monday, she
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: heard her car hit with something. She show she got
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: home and looked at her bumper and had had dents
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: in what appeared to be a small caliber bullet holes.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: She thinks she was targeted, saying it's just not right
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: as a human to want to hurt somebody else just
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: because they disagree with you. What is that related to, Well,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: it may be her license plate. She got home, she
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: and her husband discovered these two small dents in a
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: right rear bumper where the car was hit. Not the
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: first time her vehicle has been, in the words of
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Brooklyn Andres from Fox nineteen reporting and interviewing Jody vandalized.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's an act of vandalism. If
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: someone shoots at your car, I would think it's an
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: active attempted murder. Anyway, Her license plate maga girl, m
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: A gagrl, She said, I've had issues in the past
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: with people flipping me off, which is fine, but people
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: with people behind me honking their horn in yelling profanities.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Fine words, don't hurt me. I didn't think there was
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: nothing to it until last night, and now I'm like,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: this is kind of serious now, that my license plate
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: can trigger somebody just because I believe something different than
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: somebody else, that it's okay to'll pull out a weapon
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: of some comment starts shooting at random people that you
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, good point, We'll just let that one sit.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: They're looking for someone. She filled out a police report
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: with the Springfield Township Police, and she hopes that she
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: hears from the police, maybe that they find a suspect.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Maybe there's a camera out there. Pivoting over to yesterday
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: with the EA since a council having a hearing about
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: the promised security cameras that were never installed. The family
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: of the eleven year old girl was shot and killed
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: in the West End. Was there, Cherry Williams, the mother
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: of the deceased Queen Eery Reid. It shouldn't have taken
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: my child to loser life for you to put a
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: camera in this park. Well, eleven year old Dominic Davis
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: killed a couple of years ago under the same circumstances
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: in the same area. Cameras were promised, then after his
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: death they were never installed. Now last September, we all
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: know one hundred and fifty thousand dollars allocated for this
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: camera project. Yesterday's city manager SHAREL Long said six cameras
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: were installed, none of them pointed toward the park where
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: the shooting happened. And since the shooting of the Thanks
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Joe of Queen every red one, large light and camera
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: have been put in place. Sharyl Long announced it six
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: more cameras would be added within the next thirty days.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Look how quickly it can happen once the spotlight of
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: attention's been focused on the mayor and city council and
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: all of the promises that have made over the last
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: several years to do this. Look, one more person dead. Oh,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get them up in thirty days. How about that?
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: That is a good point. FOP President Ken Cobra on yesterday,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: concerned about who's going to be maintaining the cameras, also
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: who's going to be watching them. They're sort of short
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: staffed over the CINCINNT Police Department, the contingent of officers
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: not quite up to snuff, and those lateral hires. If
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: you didn't hear Ken yesterday, thank you for reminding me
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: about what he said, Open thirty spots for lateral hires. Attention,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: world law enforcement officers. The City of Cincinnati wants you.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: You are you're going to be hired. Sign up. We
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: have thirty open space. We're ready to hire, put on
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: the uniform and serve the city of Cincinnati. You know
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: how many people answered that call? Seven? I wonder why
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: people don't want a job in law enforcement. Huh. Anyway,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: it was suggested whose idea was it to name the
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: park after Dominic Davis and Queenerye reed, Joe? Was that
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: have to have Pearlval's idea. It was brought up in
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: the council meeting as if naming the park after the
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: two dead children is going to be a great thing. Oh,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: it's a what consolation? Probably it's okay, we're gonna remember
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: your murdered children by naming the park after them. Oh,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: let's go over to the eleven year old murdered kids park.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: It's not a good marketing strategy, is it. Five one, three, seven,
• 22:56

• 23:56
  Speaker 1: about with him.
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Will the government shut down on January thirtieth, I know
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: there's little rumblings about that. Probably not this all over
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: the subsidies, the COVID era subsidies for your Obamacare plan.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if the Democrats want to expend any
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: more political capital to shut the government down and harm
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: people to the extent you're harmed by the government shut
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: down in the name of keeping something that was put
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: in place because of covid which isn't around anymore? What
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: is the Biological Intellectual Property Protection Act? Congressman Davidson's gonna
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: explain that one to us. Fast forward to seven thirty,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Adam Kaylor returns about a year ago, he started the
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati Exchange and the Conservative Citizens Journalists. What's the status

  Speaker 1: him what is the Congressional Trucking Caucus? And also rural
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Ohio healthcare initiatives? And finally it is Thursday. I heart me.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: The aviation expert Jay Rattle of first out of the
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: calendar year. I love talking to Jane. I hope you
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: enjoy that as well. Let's see here some calls coming in.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: But first, the stack is stupid, which I promise. We
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: have a Sicilian man who's fought a lawsuit against the
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: restaurant after featuring him in a promotional TikTok video. He
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: didn't consent to the to his image being used in it.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Apparently a bit more complicated than just that fun fact said.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: The video was seen by his wife, which led to
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: their marriage falling apart. Video used as proof of his infidelity,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: so the man's suing the restaurant for invasion of privacy.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Not sure how the ex wife stumbled upon the promotional
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: TikTok video featuring her husband or of someone else, recognized
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: them and included her in on it. But basically, she
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: saw her spouse with another woman, even though he had
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: told her he was attending a business dinner with colleagues.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the world of cameras everywhere. Humiliated boy's public infidelity,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: she decided to end the relationship and kick him out
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: of the house. It's exactly like the Cold Play Dude
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Joe the kiss cam. If you're fooling around in your
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: spouse whatever, I guess, maybe a bad decision may lead
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: to a bad outcome. Just remember, like all the criminals
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: out there in the world are slowly finding out, there
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: are cameras literally everywhere. Anyway, when the man learned out
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: that his wife had discovered his affair by watching the
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: promotional video, he decided to well sue the owners of
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: the establishment, claiming his right suprivacy were violated. According to
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: the Francisco Tanasi, who's a spokesman for CODA cons which
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: is an Italian consumer protection association that's representing the guy
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: it is unacceptable for a restaurant to film its customers
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: without clear consent and then broadcast the images, exposing people
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: to unpredictable consequences, seeking damages for his client, but also
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: considering finally can play with the Italian Data Protection Authority?
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Do we need Dave had Her to chime in on
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: that one tomorrow anyhow, coming up a by forty five
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: if you have care see the talk station QC Kinetics.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: How about twenty twenty six being the year of living
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: without pain? And you know on Friday Eve, a very
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: happy one to you. Were I to get back to
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: the stack of stupid score to my owns five one, three, seven,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: four fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: It's ah good to hear from you, Jay, Welcome back
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: to the Morning show and Happy Friday Eve.
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: Hey, good morning, Brian. Hey, I was listening to the
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: iHeart podcast of previous Brian Thomas shows instead of listening
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: to lesser talent like Sean Hannity or anybody else on
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: the radio.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: You're client, Oh, I'm.
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: Telling you it's uh.
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: I would encourage all the listeners to do it quick
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: on Brian Thomas, go to episodes, scroll down through there.
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: You can listen to whatever you want and it's best
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: thing out there. But I saw the interview recently with
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: Alex Trantefila, and Alex, I'm sure is a nice guy,
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: but I am beyond frustrated, as you know that here
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: we are in the eleventh hour of the the Wine administration,
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: and finally Alex Trantefila, the head of the Ohio Republican Party,
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: is getting some righteous indignation that the governor who they
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: put all their power, money, influence behind will not now
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: get behind Vivek Ramaswami and is backing or defending Amy Acton.
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: And you were asking all the right questions and Alex
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: acted like, finally he wasn't all that impressed with the wine.
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: You know, the time not to be impressed with the
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: wine would have been maybe after the COVID shut down,
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: or maybe ten minutes into his first term, whenever he
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: raised the gas tax and santsa gallen because of the fiscal.
• 28:57
  Speaker 8: Emergency, we gave six million dollars to the Cleveland Browns
• 29:04
  Speaker 8: when he vetoed the property tax reform that they had
• 29:07
  Speaker 8: put into the budget bill.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can go on and on about the reasons
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: to be disappointed in Mikelwaine. I understand that, and I
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: as I talked all one, You're right, Alex Chanfilo is
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: a really nice guy, and you catch him in a
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: candid moment, he will be honest with what Alex Triantefilo's
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: personal opinion is about matters involving the Republican Party. But
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: as the head of the Republican Party, he's got to
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: deal with the herting cats. And you know how many
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: nut jobs are within the public Republican Party everywhere. I mean,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: not as many nut jobs as are with the Democrats.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: But can you imagine being in charge of the Democrat
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Party and trying to shepherd the from the commies all
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: the way over to the dusty road Democrats of the world.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: It's an impossible task, but you got to try to
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: balance it. So quite often he won't be very firm
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: in his convictions when you're talking about something as worthy
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: of criticism as the governor of our state. But that's
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: because he's the head of the entire Republican Party. So
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: that's go ahead, go ahead.
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: No, I'm sorry, go ahead, and I mean interrupt.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: No, you weren't interrupting. That's pretty much good. I don't
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: want to repeat myself, so go ahead and make your point.
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: Well, I guess if that is the case, then two
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: things are true. Number one, number one, he doesn't have
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: the the the the influence, or the courage to get
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: a rhino out of power. And number two, if that's true,
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: we have so many rhinos in this Republican Party that
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: this Republican Party in Ohio is lost. If Alex trantaphila,
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: let's say he's like minded like us, but he just
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: can't get it done because ninety percent of the Republicans
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: are firmly behind the wine. After the shutdown and after
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: everything that he's done, Yeah, then it's over. This Republican
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: Party is not going to do a damn thing for
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: got for for conservatives in this state.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, I hear what you're saying. But do
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: you think I mean anywhere in politic Donald Trump doesn't
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: even have the power to force voters to do anything.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: In particular like taking Massy For example, Donald had this
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: huge post against Thomas Massey, and Donald Trump is engaging
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: in support for a challenger in a primary for Thomas Massey.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: And there are organizations out there that are funding some
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: challenger out there to primary Thomas Massey. And every time
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Tom Donald Trump opens his mouth, voters respond by throwing
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: money at Thomas Massey's campaign. One guy can't force voters
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: to change course. So ask the citizens in these various
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Rhino districts what the hell their problem is that they
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: keep bringing back these the Rhinos and voting him into
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: office when they do crazy, stupid and seemingly non Republican
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: agenda kind of things.
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: Well, here's a big difference is that Trump and I
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: like Massey. I stand behind Massey. But the big difference
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: is that Alex tranp decilo. I'm I'm like Trump was
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: singing the praises of Mike DeWine, throwing his support behind
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: Mike DeWine to get out the vote effort to mike
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: the wine. For eight years, I didn't hear a negative
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: thing ever until recently. Now that the wine is one
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: foot out the door. Now the Republicans gross them. You
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: know what they Now all of a sudden they start
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: turning conservative.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: And well, well they only have one person running for
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: governor and they've already endorsed them. So yeah, you're going
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: to get behind VV Ramaswa I mean, and then you
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: can make fun of Governor de Wine for not getting
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: behind VV Ramasw I mean, for whatever reason, he won't
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: do it. So but in terms of the Dwine moment
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: and when Alex Johnsfila was pushing for Dwine, I can't
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: remember when Alex took over the Ohio Republican Party. I
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: think the Wine was already in office. That's the guy,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: and he, of course, being the incumbent, is going to
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: be the guy who's going to run for reelection. If
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: that's your only guy, I guess you go back to
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: the default response, which is, well, you know, I guess
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: it's better to have a Rhino in office than a Democrat.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: And sometimes that's what we're stuck with, and clearly in
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Ohio that's kind of what we're stuck with in a
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: lot of areas well.
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: What would keep your Republican Party from saying, based on
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: the Wine's performance in the first term, that we're going
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: to go find somebody else. Nothing they could have done it,
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: It's just a spectral committee again failing us.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Well, Jay, I think the problem that the Republican Party
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: faces like the challenge I face all the time is
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: the realization that most people aren't paying that close attention
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: to the minutia that you and I are talking about.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: We don't view it as minutia, but do you think
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: anybody out there in the real world who's busy binging
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Netflix and taking their kids to select soccer games and
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: all the other ins and outs of their lives remembers
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: specifically about I don't know, not being able to buy
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: a drink after ten PM and a bar during COVID
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: nineteen five years ago, that they would cast a vote
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: based upon that particular action five years ago. I don't know,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: but that's a challenge.
• 33:46
  Speaker 6: If a Republican Party of Ohio would come out and say,
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: we're not endorsing the sitting governor and here's why. Yeah,
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: I think people would have I think people would have said,
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: holy craft.
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but it's up here.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: But the next question is if we don't enforce the
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: sitting governor, who who are we going to endorse? Who
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: is the Democrat challenger? And by not endorsing the city
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: and governor, are we potentially giving an opportunity for a
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Democrat to take over, which goes back to my point,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: maybe it is better to have a Rhino than a
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Democrat in office. And I'm sure that they had those
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: conversations and talks, and we're going back so far now
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: I can't remember when Governor Ran Dwine ran for reelection
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: who was challenging him at that moment in time. But
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: you know, that's the kind of decision making you got
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: to make when you are head of the Republican Party
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: and when you're dealing with a bunch of other people
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: who have the ability to chime in on matters political
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: and engage in strategy discussions. That's why I say it's
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: not an easy job. It's like being Speaker of the House.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: You can get pissed off all day long about the
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Speaker of the House. How come this and how come
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: that is? Because he's got a bunch of petulant children
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: behind him, screaming and yelling each other, even though they're
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: supposed to be of the same political stripe. Not easy,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: especially in these trying times.
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: Jay.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: I love our conversations, man, thanks for calling this morning,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: coming up with five fifty seven. If you've have care,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: see Talk Station.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Today's tough headlines coming up at the tuck.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: I got a couple of callers online. I welcome phone
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: calls here in the morning show. If you haven't gotten
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: that message out, I'll make it again five one, three, seven,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: four nine fifty eight two three Talk Tune five fifty
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: on eighteen defense Real quick here, going back to Jay's comment,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: Dwine already got a reelected in twenty twenty two, and
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Alex Tranta Fielib became the head of the count or
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: to the High Republican Party in twenty twenty three. So
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: there you go. And then Dwine, as the incumbent running again,
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: ran as the incumbent in the primary. He beat out
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Jim or Nacy pretty handily to forty eight percent to
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: twenty eight percent. That was the voter's decision. So you
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: got to wonder, how is it that a rhino like Dwine. Well,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: you know he's not one hundred percent right now, He's
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: got a pretty good record if you go look at
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: each issue by issue by issue, a lot of ones
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: that rub us the wrong way, stand out and irritate
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: folks like Jay and quite often me, which leads you
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: to the conclusion they have Mike Dwin's a rhyina ver, right,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: But what he ran for reelection. He was running against
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Nan and apparently the Ohioans really like Dwine compared to
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: Nan Welly beat her sixty two and change to thirty
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: seven percent. That's what the voters wanted, So you got
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: choices out there. Primary went through. They said to Dwine
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: and look at his political history. I mean, name recognition.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: As much as you might dislike any given candidate, name
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: recognition means a lot. Throwing back to the whole point,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: is it better to have someone who's not one hundred?
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: You gotta throw out the good for the sake of
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: the perfect this kind of argument. Is it better to
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: have what you would call a rhino than a Democrat
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: in office? Probably? Yeah, And name recognition because people are
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: low information usually that means that they, yes, they will
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: vote for the same person. Look, he's got an R
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: after his name. I'm putting that guy or I'm keeping
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: that guy. I mean Dwine in his political career goes
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: back to nineteen eighty two seventh Congressional District, eighty four
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: seventh Conditional District reelections. Again, then you move over to
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: the Senate Lieutenant. I mean we can go on and on.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: He is a well entrenched named. A politician with a
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: name and names often will result in support from the party,
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: whether it's Democrat or Republican, just because they want to
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: ensure themselves a victory. These are strategic decisions that are made,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: and that's the kind of bickering and argument that goes
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: on behind the scenes that Alex tranp to Filo's got
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: a ride herd over so again, think about the good
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: and the perfect. We all want the perfect, but we
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: never quite get that, do we all? Right before we
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: move on to different topics real quick here, before we
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: get to looks like Jim and Steve hold On coming
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: up six thirty special Money Thursday with Brian James for
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Money Money. He'snna talking about the fifth third co America mergers,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: so we'll get an update on that. Congressman Davidson in
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: one hour, a whole bunch of stuff with him. Adam
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Kaylor are one of our citizen watchdog he started Citizen Exchange.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: We're gonna find out what Adam's been doing for the
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: past year. Congressman David Taylor at eight oh five, and
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: then Jay Rattloff on aviation topics at day thirty. Let's
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: start with Jim has been on the phone longest, Jim,
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: thanks for calling this morning. Welcome to the Morning Show.
• 38:08
  Speaker 7: Good morning, Brian.
• 38:10
  Speaker 9: Hey, your conversation yesterday with the judge. I want to
• 38:14
  Speaker 9: give you an analogy and see how you would respond.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 38:18
  Speaker 9: This is with Venezuela. Okay, Let's say you had a
• 38:22
  Speaker 9: neighbor that had a big, old, dying ass tree hanging
• 38:27
  Speaker 9: over your property, and you knew that someday that tree
• 38:30
  Speaker 9: was going to fall on your property, but you don't
• 38:33
  Speaker 9: have any right to go on his property. Technically it's
• 38:35
  Speaker 9: private property next door.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Well legally if it's hanging legally, let me just crack
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: the record, Jim, because if it's hanging over my property,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: I can cut it down because it's in my property.
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: Brian.
• 38:47
  Speaker 9: Let's say it's just standing there. It's a ways back
• 38:51
  Speaker 9: from your property, but you know when the first wind
• 38:54
  Speaker 9: storm and the trees dying is going to fall.
• 38:56
  Speaker 7: This is like Venezuela. It's a you.
• 38:59
  Speaker 9: Know it's danger coming and let's even go in. Your
• 39:03
  Speaker 9: kids have a playground set there, and you know it's
• 39:05
  Speaker 9: going to be a problem, and so what right do
• 39:08
  Speaker 9: you have? What That's kind of like how the United
• 39:10
  Speaker 9: States position is with Venezuela. We got China and Russian
• 39:13
  Speaker 9: We know they're you know, setting up camp there.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, So how did.
• 39:18
  Speaker 9: You respond to that? You know, sometimes you got to
• 39:21
  Speaker 9: bring it to your own personal backyard. It's easy to
• 39:24
  Speaker 9: make big brush comments that you shouldn't be involved.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: With, right, jem. Well, and this is where reality. You're
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: the reality of what we face day to day demands, expedients.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: This is how we end up playing a little fast
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: and loose with the constitution. But you know, the Constitution
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: being what it is, and going back to my comments
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: in the last hour, it depends on what kind of
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: person you are. A strict constitutionalists? Are you someone who
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: believes this is a living, breathing document that can be
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: changed and altered based upon circumstances. These arguments have been
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: going on since the founding of our country. But his
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: legal analysis leads him to the conclusion that these actions
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: a unlawful. This isn't like an imminent threat. I mean,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: we've been making having discussions about whether a drug boat
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: fifteen hundred miles away is an imminent threat. It doesn't
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: sound like it to me, And I'd be willing to
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: side with the folks that say no, that when it
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: gets to our shore, then it may be represents an
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: imminent threat, but when it's fifteen hundred miles away, not
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: so much. But the circumstances, though within the confines of
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: the legal argument, his position is the Constitution is clear
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: on it. If you're going to engage in acts of war,
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: you got to get congressional authority on it. Now, the
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: world as it exists and the reality that we live
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: in now where Congress can't get a damn thing done
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: because everybody's gotten this particular moment in political history, trump
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: derangement system of a syndrome of one form or another.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Congress won't act and won't do anything. So maybe that's
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: the exit in circumstance that would justify Donald Trump doing this. Listen,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: I want congressional approval, but they can't agree that the
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: sky is blue, so I got to go off and
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: do it myself. And history has supported him on that.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: That was kind of the point. Judge isn't happy about
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: any of these quote unquote wars that have been weighed
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: since the end of World War Two, the last time
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: we declared war. He thinks all of them are illegitimate.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: Where he justified and going to the North in fighting
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: the Korean War, we justified in Vietnam, Panama, Noriega. I mean,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: on and on and on and on. His legal position,
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: constitutionally based as it is, with his perception and legal
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: analysis of his constitutional principles and how he abides by them,
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: says all of it was wrong. Hey, you know, I
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: may disagree with that conclusion. And that's why we have courts.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: And that's why when you go to one district court,
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: you'll get one opinion on the exact same factual circumstances.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: In a different district court someplace else in the country,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: a judge will come up with a completely different interpretation.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: The law is, you know, malleable, and it is subject
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: to interpretation. And that's why I say, listen, the judges
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: entitled to his opinion. I don't mind dissent on the
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: Morning show. I don't mind someone who doesn't like Donald
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: Trump coming on the Morning Show. But you see, you
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: take away that people's immediate knee jerk reaction, like the
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: woman who called and screamed at Joe Strecker, Because right
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: the Polaitano isn't a fan of Donald Trump, that doesn't
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: mean he's not welcome here. Under the program. It doesn't
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: negate from his legal analysis, which again you can disagree with,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: but it's his analysis. And that's why we talk about it.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: Because there are differences of opinion out in the world,
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: and the Polatano happens beyond the side of Thomas Massey
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: and Ran Paul with regard with the constitution. Democrats now
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: seem to be on the side of Paul and Massey
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: and the Politano. Why because Donald Trump took the position
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: when they were taking the exact position Donald Trump took
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: when they started bombing people by remote control under the
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: Obama administration, the Biden administration. It's okay when they do it. Hell,
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden put a what is it, twenty five million
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: dollars fifty million dollar bounty out on this guy's head, Maduro.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: That sounds like they wanted his head, doesn't it? Fast forward?
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: New president, different opinion, and that malleability in the law,
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: that flexibility that exists with regard to constitutional interpretation, works
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: for their advantage or disadvantage, depending upon the moment in time.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: It's insane. But if Congress would sit down and get
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: its act together, now Congress could stop Donald Trump from
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: doing this kind of thing. If they got their act together,
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: if they were uniformly in agreement that wait a second,
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: Wait a second, we don't want to get drawn into
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: World War III. They could put the brakes on, do
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: they Nope, leaving us with maybe the tree is going
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: to fall in our yard and we got to do
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: something about it right now. And that's the moment in
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: time we seem to find ourselves stepping back from whether
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: or not it's constitutional. Was it the right thing to do?
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: Some people say no, because you just toppled one of
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: the favorite socialists, didn't you. Some of us think think
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: that's a great idea. Maybe the Venezuelan people will enjoy
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: a measure of prosperity for a change rather than living
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: under the thumb of communist depression. Getting the Chinese and
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: the Russians out of this hemisphere, that's a good thing.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: I will embrace that concept all day long. Will this
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: military action move us in that direction? Maybe we're all
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: gonna be waiting around to find out. Will the oil
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: industry reinvest in venezuela kind of keeping our popcorn out?
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: On that one? Donald Trump says they will. They may not.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: They got a lot of much easier opportunities to extract
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: oil in these various parts of the world that have oil.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: Why bother with the politically unstable moving target that is Venezuela.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: We're gonna find out crazy, isn't it. Steve's next, Steve,
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: you don mind hold on for one moment. I appreciate
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: the call. I really do six sixteent fifty five KC
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: detalk station. Ever since I was hoping to see John
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: Roman from cover. Since yesterday, Johnny, you didn't show up
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: to listener. Let's that sho okay? He said he was
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: going to try. What he will do for you is
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: analyze your current medical insurance situation. I don't know if
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: you're still an open enrollment or not, if you got
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: an option to choose, still choose or not. But if
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: you've already chown Aeve, I'm gonna go to the phones
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: real quick, Steve, just one moment, because Maureen sent me
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: a link and here's here's a post purportedly I emphasize
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: that word from the Greene County Sentinel News apparently news
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: outlet green County here in Ohio, and what it says
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: breaking news from our state house sources. The cord to
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: the sources in Columbus Rhino Dwine is demanding what some
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: are calling a get out of jail card before endorsing
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: vivig Ramaswami for Governor. Dwine wants a personal guarantee from
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: vv Ramaswami not to reopen the first energy bribery investigation
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: looking into the Wine's direct involvement question mark. Our sources
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: are also saying Vivek is refusing to agree to de
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: Wines the man. He feels he doesn't need anything from
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: DeWine given his current poll numbers, the latter point being
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: true regardless whether it is true now, I don't know
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: if this is accurate. And here's one of the reasons
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: I read it. Maybe there's an answer there to why
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: we didn't get an immediate in endorsement from going to
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: why that could be the backside or the inside baseball.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: That is the reason. I don't know, but I wanted
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: to point out because you know, Tomorrow's Tech Friday. When
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: I first see that, my immediate reaction is someone made
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: it up and posted it. I don't even know who
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: the Green County Centinel News is, Maureen, but I trust you.
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: You know you ford me sources all the time. Jos
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: stracker can churn out something exactly mirroring what you forwarded me,
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: and about how long that that would take you? About
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: five minutes or five seconds, Joe, something like that, and
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: it would look real. Is it real? Right? Welcome to
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: the world. We're surrounded with this kind of thing and
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: you're forced to read that and think, wow, that does
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: make sense on one level, and then the other component
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: of you're saying, is it real? I don't know whether
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: I can agree with that or disagree with that, or
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: just discount it because well made it using some you
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: know AI platform. Steve, Thanks for the indulging me on that,
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: and welcome to the show, and thanks for holding not
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: a problem.
• 47:08
  Speaker 10: Three comments, if with my mosquito memory, I can remember
• 47:11
  Speaker 10: all three of them, because if I listen, you can't.
• 47:14
  Speaker 10: Your mind wanders. First one, you had a very nice
• 47:17
  Speaker 10: call yesterday in the five o'clock hour from Fred. He's
• 47:21
  Speaker 10: a good guy and in memory of the late great
• 47:26
  Speaker 10: Rush Limbaugh. My comment to that is ditto's. Secondly, in
• 47:32
  Speaker 10: memory of the late great Ed Koch, former mayor of
• 47:36
  Speaker 10: New York City, and this addresses kind of the rhino issue.
• 47:40
  Speaker 10: If you agree with me on seven out of ten issues.
• 47:44
  Speaker 10: Vote for me. If you agree with me on ten
• 47:47
  Speaker 10: out of ten issues, check yourself into a mental institution.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: That's what's good.
• 47:52
  Speaker 10: We're we're all individuals. You're gonna have differences. It doesn't
• 47:56
  Speaker 10: mean you don't vote for the part.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: Steve, great point, because people have called me many times.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: You know, Brian, I agree with you most of the time,
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: and that actually puts a smile on my good You know,
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: I don't want lockstep agreement.
• 48:05
  Speaker 10: You know.
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: It's like I'm not in lockstep agreement with Trump, and
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: sometimes that pisses off listeners just because I have a
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: disagreement with Donald Trump. Welcome to the world. I'm not
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: going to throw out the good for the sake of
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: the perfect.
• 48:16
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: There you go. That's a good point.
• 48:18
  Speaker 10: We're on the same boat there And the reason for
• 48:21
  Speaker 10: my call. And I don't know why I remember this,
• 48:23
  Speaker 10: but I remember you interviewing Sharon Brown many years ago,
• 48:27
  Speaker 10: and he was he's kind of a bully type guy,
• 48:30
  Speaker 10: and you were holding your I mean, he was a
• 48:32
  Speaker 10: tough interview, I thought, and at one point you absolutely
• 48:37
  Speaker 10: nailed him. I don't remember the issue. And he said
• 48:41
  Speaker 10: his response to you was nice try and you kind
• 48:46
  Speaker 10: of laughed and said pretty much hit that one out
• 48:49
  Speaker 10: of the park. And I don't know why I remember that,
• 48:51
  Speaker 10: but it cracked me up and just when I think
• 48:53
  Speaker 10: about it now, it puts a smile on my face.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: Enjoy your day, sir, Thank you very much for taking
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: me down memory, lad. Yes, Joe had to remind me
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: that I interviewed Shared Brown at one point because again,
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: the offer for Democrats to come on the program is
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: always out there. And when we get into equal time,
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: and I pointed this out to one of the candidates
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: is going to be running against Greg Landsman to shout
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: up at lunch yesterday, you know, I love the idea
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: of equal time because that gives the opponent, the Democrat,
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: the opportunity to come on the show. They can demand
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: equal time. They're going to get it in national elections.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: That's right, Joe, Thank you for the profound point. It's
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: a very important point. But do they ever take us
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: up on it now? Rarely. But see, that's a discussion
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: I want to have because I'm not going to go
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: into name calling mode. I'm going to go into issue mode,
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: and let's talk about the specifics of whatever given proposal
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: you're advocating for that I'm disagreeing with. Can you convince
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: me to come over to your side of the ledger
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: based upon and at least a reasonable, hopefully some level
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: of intellectual discussion. That's what discussion and debate is all about.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: We don't have that anymore. We have yelling and screaming
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: and name calling, or people just hiding and cowering in
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: their basement refusing to engage in that process. Six twenty six. Susan,
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: if you don't mind holding, you've got to comment out
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: the cameras downtown. I love to hear. We got local
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: stories coming up. Addition to Susan's call, your calls are
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: also welcome here. Five point three seven four nine fifty
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: two three talk still pointing out my Duke energy bill.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: And hey, Brian Thomas, it's not Money Monday. It is
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: well Thursday, but I have Brian James from Monday Monday's
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: all Worth Financial to talk about this interesting development research.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: You know locally, Fifth third Bank is merging with Comerica.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: It's another bank described as a middle market banking franchise,
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: and that's why we have Brian James on to explain
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: what this is going to mean for fifth Third bankers
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: for maybe the broader banking industry. But from my understanding,
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: this is going to create if it's approved, and you're
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: going to address the regulatory approval, but it's going to
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: create the ninth largest bank in the United States. Welcome back,
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: Brian James, and happy New Year.
• 50:58
  Speaker 5: By the way, Yeah, Happy.
• 51:00
  Speaker 11: New Year and money Monday except on a Thursday, So
• 51:03
  Speaker 11: we're changing things up and we'll be back to our
• 51:06
  Speaker 11: regular scheduled programming on this coming Monday, I assume, unless
• 51:08
  Speaker 11: those crazy headlines between now and then. But yeah, so
• 51:11
  Speaker 11: big headlines. Fifth third Bank, call America. This was announced
• 51:15
  Speaker 11: a few months ago. They were sniffing around about this.
• 51:17
  Speaker 11: The shareholders approved it yesterday earlier this week, and that,
• 51:22
  Speaker 11: as you mentioned, that's going to create a big bank.
• 51:24
  Speaker 11: Both of these banks were similar. You know, for those
• 51:26
  Speaker 11: of us in the listening area here familiar with Fifth Third,
• 51:29
  Speaker 11: co America is similar to Fifth Third, just mostly up
• 51:32
  Speaker 11: in the northern area. You might have heard the term
• 51:34
  Speaker 11: that this is where the Detroit Tigers play in Comerica Park,
• 51:37
  Speaker 11: so that's where you might have heard the term from.
• 51:39
  Speaker 11: But in any case, co America's shareholders are going to
• 51:42
  Speaker 11: receive one point eight fifth Third sharehold shares per coll America.
• 51:45
  Speaker 7: So this is a takeover.
• 51:47
  Speaker 11: Cole America is going to be swallowed by fifth Third,
• 51:49
  Speaker 11: and that's going to give them about a twenty percent
• 51:51
  Speaker 11: premium on their on the co America stock price at
• 51:54
  Speaker 11: the announcement. At the end of the day, fifth Third
• 51:56
  Speaker 11: shareholders are going to own about seventy three percent of
• 51:58
  Speaker 11: the combined entity and co America shareholders we get about
• 52:01
  Speaker 11: a quarter of it. So it's been approved by shareholders.
• 52:04
  Speaker 11: We are still in the final regulatory approval stage, so
• 52:08
  Speaker 11: the government has the rubber stamp it, and but that
• 52:11
  Speaker 11: doesn't seem to be a huge concern that that. So
• 52:14
  Speaker 11: I actually worked for fifth Third for a long time
• 52:16
  Speaker 11: and many of the projects we were involved in were
• 52:19
  Speaker 11: geared toward getting fifth Third back into the shape that
• 52:22
  Speaker 11: it could be to make major acquisitions like this and
• 52:25
  Speaker 11: remain competitive because in that industry, Brian Thomas, it is acquire.
• 52:29
  Speaker 7: Or be acquired.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: Now, is this going to result in any name changes?
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing since fifth Third is the acquire err that
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: Fifth Third Banks will remain Fifth Third Banks, But will
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: the co America customers be dealing with fifth Third going forward?
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: Are they just going to leave the name the same.
• 52:44
  Speaker 12: Now, yes, so co America is going to become fifth Third.
• 52:46
  Speaker 12: Obviously nobody's really going to notice that here in this area,
• 52:49
  Speaker 12: but in the Comerica markets they'll be seeing fifth third
• 52:51
  Speaker 12: broadcast everywhere. And I'm sure they're going to own more
• 52:55
  Speaker 12: or advertise the more minor league ballparks that seems to
• 52:57
  Speaker 12: be their thing over the years.
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: Well, I suppose those. This may suggest, as most mergers do,
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: that there are going to be some job cuts. Usually
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: there are you know, overlapping legal departments. I remember those days,
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: you know, when you merge with another company, then you've
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: got two legal departments. You don't need to just is
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: that what's going to happen? Do you anticipate? Brian?
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 53:16
  Speaker 11: Absolutely, I mean that that's that's the whole reason behind this,
• 53:19
  Speaker 11: and truly any merger in any industry, it's just economies
• 53:22
  Speaker 11: of scale and combining operations uh to to reduce overlap.
• 53:26
  Speaker 7: So probably a.
• 53:28
  Speaker 11: Bigger concern, unfortunately for the Comerica employees than than the
• 53:32
  Speaker 11: Fifth Third.
• 53:33
  Speaker 12: UH.
• 53:33
  Speaker 11: But sounding like at this point it may be an
• 53:35
  Speaker 11: opportunity here locally for jobs because fifthird obviously has a
• 53:39
  Speaker 11: massive operational presence, uh, you know, up up at their
• 53:43
  Speaker 11: operational facility in Madisonville.
• 53:45
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 53:45
  Speaker 12: And I would I would expect that there's going to
• 53:47
  Speaker 12: be some new faces walking in those halls as as they.
• 53:50
  Speaker 11: Look to increase the number of people. And it's really
• 53:52
  Speaker 11: on the regulatory side, because the bigger the bank is,
• 53:55
  Speaker 11: the more the government wants to sniff around, and you
• 53:56
  Speaker 11: have to have more and more, more and more people
• 53:58
  Speaker 11: putting the reporting together and those kinds of things. So
• 54:02
  Speaker 11: not looking really for any huge impact here. Their course
• 54:07
  Speaker 11: could be branch consolidations, but again that's probably not you know,
• 54:10
  Speaker 11: there are no Comerica branches in this area, so that'll
• 54:12
  Speaker 11: be again more in the co America market where they
• 54:14
  Speaker 11: decided that these two across the parking lot need to
• 54:16
  Speaker 11: be merged into one, for example.
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: Well, soon the branch doesn't change, Is there going to
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: be any noticeable difference. Let's say the listeners who are
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: currently fifth Third, who currently bank with fifth Third? Is
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: this just going to be sort of seamless, there's nothing
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: to see here, Life goes on for the average customer.
• 54:33
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 54:33
  Speaker 11: I think it's going to be more for the employees,
• 54:35
  Speaker 11: and obviously there are thousands of them here in the
• 54:37
  Speaker 11: Cincinnati area. But you know, I wouldn't say as a
• 54:40
  Speaker 11: banking customer, which I am one, fifth Third has been
• 54:42
  Speaker 11: a great bank for me.
• 54:44
  Speaker 7: I don't look for any major changes there, just a
• 54:46
  Speaker 7: bigger bank.
• 54:47
  Speaker 11: And again this is all about acquire or be acquired,
• 54:50
  Speaker 11: because you know, co America made it as far as
• 54:52
  Speaker 11: they did and they got picked up. Third Or fortunately
• 54:56
  Speaker 11: is still on the independent side where they can kind
• 54:58
  Speaker 11: of be the predator not the prey.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: Well, and I suppose overall with that point made it. Overall,
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: it's a good thing for Fifth Third Bank.
• 55:06
  Speaker 11: Yeah, it depends on your view of big business.
• 55:09
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 55:09
  Speaker 7: Some people aren't going to be a fan of this
• 55:11
  Speaker 7: because you know, maybe you just.
• 55:12
  Speaker 12: Love your Camerica branch and now it's going to be
• 55:15
  Speaker 12: changing a little bit. But at the end of the day,
• 55:16
  Speaker 12: it basically means that the structure is still there and
• 55:20
  Speaker 12: you know you'll have.
• 55:20
  Speaker 7: That support going forward.
• 55:22
  Speaker 11: But it's very very much Let's make no mistake here,
• 55:25
  Speaker 11: this is very much about profit margin and the maintenance
• 55:28
  Speaker 11: of the ability to stay competitive. That's really what it's about.
• 55:31
  Speaker 11: This isn't These are never about customers. Nobody's going to
• 55:34
  Speaker 11: walk away from a bank merger with a better experience.
• 55:37
  Speaker 11: This is this is about shareholders in the banking industry, Brian,
• 55:40
  Speaker 11: customers come third, the the shareholders come first, regulators come second,
• 55:47
  Speaker 11: and then it's the customers. Spend a lot of time
• 55:49
  Speaker 11: there and that's frankly why I left the industry.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate your honesty, money mondays Brian James on
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: a Thursday, we'll call it money Thursday. Brian James, I
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: can't thank you enough for doing a special segment with
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: my listeners and me to data talk about the impact
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: on this. So probably you won't see much employees with
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: fifth Third in CA America, maybe you'll be seeing something.
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: Just hold your keep your powder dry, and keep your
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: fingers crossed, Brian James. I wish you all the best
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: best of health in a very happy new year again,
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: do you, sir? I look forward to our conversations going
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: forward this year.
• 56:18
  Speaker 11: You bet happy to hear to you as well, and
• 56:20
  Speaker 11: we will talk more about this headline as it continues
• 56:23
  Speaker 11: to unwrap.
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: Looking forward to that. We'll talk on Monday. Take care
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: a lot to unpack this morning. Going back to Dwine
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: not yet endorsing Ramaswami, he did endorse him yesterday and
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: some are suggesting the reason Dwine waited so long he
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: wanted to find out who Ramaswami's running mate was going
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: to be, and since he chose Rob McCauley, some are
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: suggesting an insider kind of guy and that was what
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: put Dwine over the edge to help him support me
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: beg Ramaswamy. So you know, have your own theories and
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: articulate your own question marks about that. But at least
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: you've got that, So let's see what Susan Scott. Susan,
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: thanks so much for calin this morning. I apologize for
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: not being able to take your call in the last segment,
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: but I forgot we were doing that segment with Brian James.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: But appreciate it. Welcome to the Morning Show. Hello there
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: you are?
• 57:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, fine, bye.
• 57:08
  Speaker 13: Thank you for taking my call and no problem on waiting.
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 57:11
  Speaker 13: I just wanted wanted to suggest putting cameras up are great.
• 57:17
  Speaker 13: Putting them on makes a big difference. Making sure that
• 57:20
  Speaker 13: we're working makes a big difference. You know, I can
• 57:24
  Speaker 13: I can stand with a cell phone all day, but
• 57:27
  Speaker 13: if I can't make a call on it because it's
• 57:29
  Speaker 13: not turned on, you know, I'm out a lot.
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: That is correct, and Susan, I will double down on
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: your point, which is a very valid one. If you
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: are the mayor of a of a very large city
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: and you have an issue like this, and you are
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: going to a press conference, knowing full well you're going
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: to get asked questions about where the hell the cameras
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: are and whether they work or not, you should show
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: up at that meeting armed with the information to be
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: able to answer the outstanding question and the reason you're
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: there in the first place. He didn't know we had
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: an the way yesterday with the city council met with
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: the family of Queenerie Read and answered their questions and
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: apparently one large light and camera were put in place
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: since she was murdered, and according to since I managed
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: your share along showing up with the information, six cameras
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: were installed since the one hundred and fifty grand, but
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: none were pointed toward the park when the shooting happened
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: on New Year's Day. So some cameras are there, some
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: are working, Susan, none of them pointed at the park.
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: And if we're in a state of flux, and they
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: promise they are going to put up six more cameras
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: according to share Along within the next thirty days.
• 58:35
  Speaker 13: So that's what I find. So so I don't even
• 58:42
  Speaker 13: know what to call it. So reprehensive, hansible, because I'm
• 58:45
  Speaker 13: telling you there was a case in point. This is
• 58:49
  Speaker 13: the reason why I say this. Make the camera so
• 58:54
  Speaker 13: that I can access them, You can access them, we
• 58:58
  Speaker 13: can all access them, see and make sure that they're working.
• 59:02
  Speaker 13: Why don't we do that for the citizens here in Cincinnati.
• 59:05
  Speaker 13: Why can't we do that because they don't want you
• 59:08
  Speaker 13: to know that they're not working. Right, there was a
• 59:13
  Speaker 13: man hit on July fourth on Elbron and Warsaw here
• 59:17
  Speaker 13: in Price Hill, and it was a hit and run.
• 59:22
  Speaker 13: There's a camera right at that intersection. As a matter
• 59:25
  Speaker 13: of fact, there's two cameras at that intersection. And this
• 59:29
  Speaker 13: this man is he's an older, older man. I know
• 59:32
  Speaker 13: him from the neighborhood. He is he has some difficulty
• 59:40
  Speaker 13: and he talks very slow and very methodically.
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: All well, I'm good, but let's let's just cut the
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: chasings runt of time here, Susan I will. I just
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: want to point out I don't find any problem with
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: letting the public have access to those cameras. Because why
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: it's public space. You enjoy no right to privacy when
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: you're out in the world and you can look around
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: and see for yourself, it's like a camera. If you
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: happen to be in the area where the shooting is,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: you're an eyewitness to the account. What's the difference between
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: that and you looking at a battery of cameras that
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: are there accessible at home for you, rather than having
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: you get up a walk around any given neighborhood. So
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: no problem there. But the answer to the question is
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: they'll screen privacy, privacy privacy in saying you shouldn't have
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: access to that type of that kind of camera showing
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: public space. That's the argument that was made. I would
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: think it would fail you under subject to some legal challenge,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: but probably that Let's just get the damn cameras up
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: and then we'll talk about who has access to him later.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: But they would help and go a long way. John
• 1:00:40

• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: Council for his second full term, the day after he

• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: an announcement he was running for Senate or something like that. Anyway,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: Mika Owens will select his replacement in the unlikely event
• 1:01:10

• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the morning show and happy you Friday Eve.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 5: Welcome back, my brother.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: Glad to hear you back. Thanks man, I appreciate it.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: What's on your mind today, my friend.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 4: Same old thing, my brother face flags, family and collective
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 4: bargaining and all the other things go along with it.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 4: Today's handicapped Thursday.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 5: You know how that goes? Yeah?
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: I do, Bobby, I do, Bobby. Where are the organized
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: conservatives out there? I got all these protesters are gonna
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: be joining you're running around in the streets today. They're
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: going to have a protest here in Ohio. Uh and
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: they're gonna have a protest and many expecting people out
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: in the streets screaming about the ice which John wants
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: to have a comment about ice shooting, but it was immediate.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: All these placards and signs came out all on the
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: mos instantaneously after the ICE agent had to shoot that
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: woman who was trying to run them over with their car.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: The Palestinian Youth Movement, the Party for Socialism and Liberation,
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: Refuse Fascism, Indivisible, and all these other national Alliance against
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: racist and political repression organizations as disparate as the day
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: is long. Left wing protesters, people who are protesting Palestine,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: people are protesting Israel, people who are just communists. They
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: joined together collectively and get out in the streets. Where
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: is the conservative analogy to that, Bobby? Where were all
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: the conservatives concerned about the wide open borders and the
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: inundation of various cities consuming the resources scarce as they are?
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: Where the hell were they? How come they're not organized?
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: I know you can't answer that question, Bobby, but isn't
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: it a strange reality when we have social media and
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: we could counter this nonsense with similar type protests pointing
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: out our point of view, But it never happens.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 4: I've got a bunch of counter protests, is just waiting
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 4: for them to come down our street of opportunity.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: Show up in Bobby's neighborhood. You may be met with
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: protests in opposition. Sadly there aren't enough neighborhoods like yours. Bobby,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: appreciate it, man way, they need to do it. Six
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: fifty six right now, fifty five k SE the talk station.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: Congressman Son No. Six here by five KRCD talk Dations
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: are very happy Friday. You actually special day to day
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: the return of Congressman More and Davidson. Great timing on
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: that one, considering the ice shooting of Minneapolis the other day.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: Congressman Davis won Welcome back to the fifty five Carsey
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: Morn showing a very happy new year to you, sir.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 12: Yeah, Happy new year, Brian. Always an honor to join you,
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 12: So honored.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: To have you on. And I was lamenting that they're
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: we're expecting massive protests today. Of course, immediately the placards
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: from all the different various anti American organizations joined together
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: and they're going out there calling this this ice action shooting.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: The woman who tried to run over the ice agent,
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: whether automobile murder. I was lamenting that. You know, this
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: is not the first time this immediate, well organized response
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: has come out. We've been watching this unfold now for years.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: Where is the conservative corollary to that? The answer apparently
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: to the question which was which a lot of people
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: chimed in on over the break, the conservatives are all working,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: They have jobs, They don't have time to run out
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: in the street and protest. But putting aside any levity
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: associated with that, where are we on this one? I
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: think the correct answer to the question is don't interfere
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: with federal law enforcement operations and try to run over
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: an officer with your car and you won't run the
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: risk of getting shot. Congressman Davidson, your take on this
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: whole thing.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 12: Well, look, you know, to your point about where you know,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 12: the rentom mob kind of program, how do you get
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 12: all this turnout to create the riots and protests. Well,
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 12: one of the easiest ways is you just cancel school.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 12: So that's what Minneapolis has done. They canceled school so
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 12: all the teachers can go out and organize, you know,
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 12: their regular job, which is agitating the public and continuing
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 12: the Mark Revolution. They just do it outside the classroom
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 12: for a few days here this week, and then if
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 12: you've get older students, they can also participate and you know,
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 12: get their street cred in the revolution. So you know,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 12: this is the kind of stuff that's going on in Minneapolis.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 12: And for them, it's essentially a religious war. I mean,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 12: you know, conservatives have crossed the heresy code line, which is,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 12: you know, don't disrupt the invasion. And so they're doing
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 12: this righteous protection of the Somali pirates. They're plundering Minnesota
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 12: and frankly the taxpayer wealth around the country, and they're
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 12: doing it because you know, well, you know, you want to.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 7: Help these people.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 12: Well okay, well a little fraud is going to happen,
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 12: but you know you've got to do the right thing.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 12: And there are people that bought into this hook line
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 12: and sinker and Ice is evil. They're like Nazi stormtroopers.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 12: And that's how you've agitated people like this crazy lady
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 12: that was all day driving your car getting between ICE
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 12: agents and blocking people. And you know, the normal the
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 12: normal law enforcement program goes, you know, asked tell make
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 12: you know you man, please could you please get out
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 12: of the car. Get out of the car. And then
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 12: you see the ice agent going and then they're gonna
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 12: make her get out of the car, so she, you know,
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 12: punches it to go move. Now, the car was on ice,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 12: so it slipped a little bit, or it would have
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 12: gone to the left and fast right over the agent.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 12: It started that way anyway, and that's when he draws
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 12: the fires. And so to me, when I look at
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 12: that video, I think, Okay, is there a possibility he
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 12: could have done something else, Yeah, but that's not the obligation.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 12: The obligation is he feared for his life and the
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 12: safety of others, and he took action. And uh, you know,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 12: lesson learned.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 7: Just as you.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 12: Said, hey, listen to the law enforcement even when they're wrong.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 12: You know, eventually, just count on winning. But don't don't
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 12: do something escalatory that's uh, is gonna be seen as
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 12: a threat or you're gonna get hurt. And if you
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 12: do something that's viewed as a lethal threat, there's a
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 12: good chance you're gonna die. And instead of saying that,
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 12: Governor walts and the Mayor of Minneapolis is out escalating
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 12: the situation. Instead of saying, look, take note, I don't
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 12: want anyone to get hurt. So to take note, we're
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 12: working with the federal government to make sure we're doing
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 12: this stuff better or whatever.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 7: But that's exactly it.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 12: They're not working with the federal government. They've tried to
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 12: completely lock the federal government out of their sanctuary city
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 12: and their sanctuary state, even in the wake of massive
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 12: fraud and scandal.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and this is a clear, clear parallel to
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: the defund the police movie he had the George Floyd shooting.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: Then if people took to the street, police are illegitimate.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: They are a racist organization. When you do everything we
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: can to stop policing neighborhoods and in crime ensues. We've
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: seen the aftermath of that. How we can even get
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: lateral hires in the city of Cincinnati, thirty open spots
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: for a job with a pension and working with one
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: of the greater law enforcement agencies here in the country.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: Seven people showed up to take up on the opportunity
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: to join the law enforces. See, we've demonized police so
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: much that people don't even want to do the job anymore.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: They're doing the same thing with Ice. Ice is out
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: trying to enforce the law. They're trying to pick up
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: and round up the worst of the worst of the
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: illegal immigrants here. They have the lawful right to do it.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 5: Here.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: You go interfere with police doing their duty, and something
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: bad is going to happen. I think this is what
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: they were waiting for. All these leftist organizations couldn't wait
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: for this to happen. This poor woman is dead because
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: she did something that she was encouraged to do by
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: elected officials and all these other organizations. They've got their martyr.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: Now it's time to go to the streets.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 12: Yeah, looks there's not a coincidence that the Summer of
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 12: Love started in Minneapolis, right. I mean, this is brown
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 12: zero for the neo Marxist agitation that they're doing in
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 12: the country.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 7: So they're not going to miss the moment.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 12: They've got essentially field trips to the streets for the
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 12: students there, because that's what they've done, and they did
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 12: the March Long March through the institutions. One of the
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 12: first things they seized was education, and now they're doing,
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 12: you know this to make sure that the students don't
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 12: draw the wrong conclusion. You know that, you know, hey,
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 12: don't break our laws and invade our country by coming
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 12: here illegally.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 7: And then don't stop.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 12: The people that are just enforcing the laws of the country.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 12: We wouldn't want them to learn those things. We want
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 12: them to learn that you got to got to join
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 12: the cause and fight demand and you know continue this,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 12: you know, anti anti law and order regime that they're doing.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 12: So I hope the country takes a note because the
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 12: reality is this is the vanguard for what Democrats want
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 12: to do all around the country. And it's the same
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 12: kind of thing like it spread in twenty twenty. They
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 12: wanted to spread. Look at the progress that was made
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 12: in Cincinnati and it's still not recovered to where it was.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 7: In twenty twenty.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 12: So they want to do this all over the country,
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 12: cities around the country, and it is the agenda for
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 12: the people leading the Democrat Party. I'm not saying every
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 12: Democrat believes these things, but that's where the direction of
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 12: the leadership.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 7: For the Democrat Party is.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 12: And it is, as Sarah Huckabee Sanders said, so well
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 12: normal versus crazy, and you see crazy every day, especially
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 12: in Minneapolis.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: Well, and then the other underlying point of all this,
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: or the argument that's made by those defending this fraud,
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: waste and abuse going on in Minneapolis. Is that if
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: you bring it to anybody's attention, or you go after
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: and you enforce the law and you prosecute people for
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: violating the law, somehow, that's an act of racism, which
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: is the most comical, stupid argument I think I've ever heard.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: In making that argument, you're saying, you're just going after
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: the black and brown community of the Somalis, and you're
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: targeting them because you're racist. Now for you to protect,
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: to try to defend and protect the fraud, the criminal
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: activity by claiming it's racist to go after it is
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: in and of itself an active racism, which means you're
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: going to treat that community different from other law breakers.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: We're giving them a pass because they're members of the
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: black and brown Somali community. That's nonsensical and in and
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: of itself racist. Your take, Yeah, I mean that's.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 7: One hundred percent right. But look how long that worked, right, I.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 12: Mean, this is the same playbook they effectively rolled out
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 12: on Pat Buchanan. Right, Oh, he's a racist, And there
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 12: was a well, I don't know if you're a racist.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 12: I mean I'm not a racist guy. So you've you've
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 12: had you know, conservative couckery here where you've not fought
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 12: back or raised anything forever. Right, It's like, look, it's
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 12: not race, it's we don't get mad at them because
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 12: they're black or brown or from this community that it's
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 12: because they're stealing and we're after the people that are stealing.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 12: Or when you look at the crime, the law and order,
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 12: you know, you look at in.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 7: Washington, d c.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 12: Two percent of the population was accounting for ninety percent
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 12: of the crime. So when you target that two percent,
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 12: it's not racist. It's the two percent that's causing the crime.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: Right, right, right, that's the bottom line. Just not Congressman
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: davids And we got so much more to talk about it.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: I got to take a break though. Let it you
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: just go straightforward in the conversation. But it is time
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: for a quick couple of words here seven fifteen fifty
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: five Karcite Talk stations. We're gonna talk about whether there's
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: gonna be another governation. Sevent nineteen fifty five Karsity Talx station,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: Brian Thomas, the Congressman Warren Davidson, moving over. That's right,
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: we did have a government shutdown over these subsidies that
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: were brought and put in place for Obamacare because of
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. COVID nineteen's left us thankfully, that's a good thing.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: The Democrats put in place and end date for those supplements.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: That date's come and gone. They have disappeared, and that
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: resulted in the government shutdown last fall. They were fighting
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: like hell to keep them in place, even though the
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: justification for them no longer existed. Are we going to
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: have another government shutdown since that situation has not been
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: resolved yet, or are we gonna come up with some
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: probably ridiculous compromise Congressman Davidson.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 12: Yeah, Democrats really want another shutdown.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 7: They feel like it worked.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 12: And you know, on balance, when you look at the
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 12: Democrat base, Democrats have declined with their base.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 12: And part of the reason they declined is they agreed
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 12: to reopen the government. Right, So they were they were
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 12: getting phrase from their base. When they had the government
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 12: shut down, they were you know, fighting you know, the
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 12: evil Empire.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 12: And they were, you know, great righteous warriors in this
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 12: holy war they're trying to wage.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 12: And then when they reopened the government, they took blowback,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 12: you know, after six weeks of shutdown. So now they're like, well,
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 12: let's let's get back and engage the base again and
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 12: shut down the government again.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 7: So you know, that's what that's what Schumer's take, And from.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 12: Talk to some colleagues, they're like, yeah, you know, I
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 12: don't really see where everybody's coming from, but that's kind
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 12: of where some of our base is, and you know,
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 12: so they're probably going to try to do that. The
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 12: challenge has been that your Republicans continue to try to
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 12: have a way to accommodate that. And just last night,
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 12: you know, we had nine Republicans joined Democrats. They signed
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 12: a discharge petition that takes the power away from the
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 12: majority party. The Speaker didn't want to put this on
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 12: the floor, but some of our colleagues joined with all
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 12: Democrats to say, let's do three year continuation of the
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 12: status quo.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 7: And what is the status quo.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 12: It's sending more cash to the insurance companies, and it's
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 12: to give subsidies to people that are at the.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 7: Very high end of the market.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 12: A member of Congress who has no other income or
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 12: assets than the base pay from Congress, which is you know,
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 12: reasonably generous, would qualify for subsidies for a family of
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 12: flour I mean that's crazy. You're looking at five thousand
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 12: dollars going to health insurance companies, and the fraud on
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 12: this program has been insane because all you have to
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 12: do is sign somebody up for it, and the money
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 12: is getting sent in their behalf to the insurance companies.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 12: So there are people that are that are quote getting
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 12: this benefit that don't even know that the benefit exists.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 12: So but the checks are getting cut. There are no
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 12: controls on a lot of these programs. And that's what
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 12: Doze was identifying. And instead of going after the fact
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 12: that he even if it was working, which it isn't,
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 12: it's rife with corruption, and they're like, yeah, but let's
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 12: keep doing it while we fix it. And I mean,
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 12: that's one of the biggest things I missed about manufacturing.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 12: Even if you don't know everything that's wrong, once you
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 12: know you're making bad.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 7: Parts, you at least stop making bad parts.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: It's a good parallel well, and the subseing just mask
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: the failure that is Obamacare. That's the real devil in
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: the details here. You know, the premiums keep going up
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: with Obamacare because of the claims exposure. If you don't
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: have premium dollars coming in there is no nothing to
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: cover the losses that are being shelled out. So like,
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: why is my premium going up? Well, is because it's
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: just so damn expensive to ensure everybody out there, You've
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: got to pay more to get the to get the benefits.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: By giving a subsidy, you're masking the reality of the
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: failure of the program. So you just keep going down
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: with the same program, not fixing what you just pointed
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: out is the overall problem, which is the program itself.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 12: Yeah, and look this is the mastery, right. This subsidy
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 12: that they're fighting about isn't even everything with Obamacare.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 7: So if you're like a normal Obamacare person, you.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 12: Say you make forty fifty thousand dollars a year, you
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 12: know you've got a you know, a family plan, and
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 12: you're you know, getting by. This is a program where
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 12: you know, let's say you work at a restaurant, you
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 12: don't have health insurance, or you're a real real estate
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 12: agent or something, you don't have health insurance. You're sort
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 12: of independent. That's what Obamacare was designed to do. And
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 12: they're not affected by this program. This is the other
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 12: portion of Obamacare, right, So it's like the really successful,
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 12: real estate agent that's making one hundred and fifty thousand
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 12: dollars a year, but they're getting even more subsidies for it. Yeah,
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 12: and a thing that you put subsidies on, every single
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 12: thing that we're subsidizing, the rate of inflation is higher
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 12: than if you didn't subsidize it.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 7: So for the.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 12: Broader market, the broader market, everybody in regular insurance. Insurance
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 12: is getting even more expensive. Healthcare is getting more expensive
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 12: for everyone, including the people that are paying cash.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 7: You know. It's the same for.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 12: Education, right, all of tuition is getting more expensive because
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 12: you're dumping more and more federal subsidies into it.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 7: So it's inflating the market.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 12: So more government equals worse for everybody else, in vertually
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 12: every program.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: Well, in the interest of times, since we're almost out
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: of it, briefly, the Biological Intellectual Property Protection Acts, what's
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: just real? Briefly explain that to my listeners, Congress Barren Davidson.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 12: Well, it's a ban on China, right, So look, if
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 12: you look at DNA, RNA, m RNA, all this kind
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 12: of stuff that's going on, China is basically buying up
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 12: data on Americans, indexing stuff.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 7: So if you want to do therapeutic drugs.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 12: You know, you might want to look at this kind
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 12: of data and you would design it in labs. If
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 12: you wanted to engineer viruses, on the other hand, and
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 12: build bioweapons, you know, things that are really bad bioweapons,
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 12: you could also use this kind of data.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 7: And so we're saying, you know, maybe.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 12: Just don't do this in China, like particularly in Wuhan
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 12: for example, don't send this biologic data out of the
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 12: United States. And so now you know, it's basically treating
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 12: it like subject to you know, our review on export
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 12: controls for sensitive technology. It's basically Americans biologic data is
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 12: now going to be viewed as sensitive information that doesn't
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 12: get exported without a proper review.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: Please tell me this enjoys bipartisan support.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 12: So far, it is completely bipartisan in the House and Senate,
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 12: and we're hopeful that it'll get clear consensus. And it's
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 12: the kind of thing that a lot of time, it
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 12: won't be like a steam the loan bill where you
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 12: can get the Senate to vote on it. It'll hopefully
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 12: get passed through committee and then incorporated into a bigger package.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: Well, as long as there's bipartisan support, because that sounds
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: like a very logical, reasonable, and necessary thing to put
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: in place. Congressman Warren Davidson, thank you very much for
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: joining the program. I look forward to our conversations and
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: appreciate you coming on and being willing to talk about
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: these sensitive and important issues. We'll do it throughout the year,
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: I hope. And happy New Year to you and your family, sir.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: Good to see Adam, and happy new year to you man.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 14: Yeah, you too, Brian. It's great to be back in here.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: It's as sad there's really nothing in the world to
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: talk about, not luckily, not nationally, not in the state.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: You know, it's just it's a dead news cycle. Yeah.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 15: Yeah, the worst state is Minnesota. There's absolutely nothing going on.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 15: I know, nothing.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: At all at all, my word and anyhow, So with
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: that joke out of the side, plenty to talk about,
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: of course. So the city of Cincinnati has been keeping
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: you busy. You're you know, we have Todd Zinzer. We
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: call him Citizen Watchdog. That's his podcast. You're a parallel
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: to Todd Zenzer in that you keep your eye on
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: the what I always refer to jokingly as shenanigans, but
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: sort of the you know, question marks going on with
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: since a city council, the silence from since a city council.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: You know, why in the hell is it that they
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: don't support the police. We could go on and on
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: and on, but these are the kind of things that
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: you regularly focus on throughout the year. In the place
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: that you point out these things, the Cincinnati Exchange.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 15: Yeah, so we decided to start our own newspaper, you know,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 15: running in a couple elections and then helping Corey with
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 15: his most recent campaign, and you know, you see how
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 15: that turned out. You know, a lot of conservatives just
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 15: feel like their voices and being heard in local news organizations,
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 15: you know, especially local papers, and over time, I think
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 15: a lot of those news organizations in general, you know,
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 15: even though the much larger ones have been their newsrooms
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 15: have been taken over by activists. There's even a collective
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 15: bargain agreement with one of the unions in this in
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 15: the Democratic Socialists of America, which is pretty wild.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 14: Yeah really, yeah, look it up.
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 15: It's yeah, the News Guild and the Democratic Socialists of
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 15: America have a collective bargaining agreement between each other.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's what Bobby who calls in the program refers
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: to he just he randomly throws that collective bargaining agreements,
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: and I'm quite often I'm like puzzled over what prompted that.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's exactly.
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 15: Because there are some some DSA employees that are also
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 15: in the union and they have their own kind of
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 15: deal worked out. Not that the DSA is somehow influencing
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 15: the newsrooms, but I mean when you have DSA people
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 15: who are pretty far left activists.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 14: Who are also working in some of these newsrooms.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: That they are influencing the news.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 14: You would assume, yeah, at least some of the larger ones,
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 14: you know.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: And I'm sure that shocks no one. That shocks nobody,
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: because if anybody who watches any kind of mainstream news
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: or reads any sort of mainstream papers, I mean, you
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: can just read the bias's I hear it. It's just
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: so obvious. It's it's all. I feel almost embarrassed for
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: them themselves a news organization, because when I think news,
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: I think traditionally an unbiased reporting of the facts. Right,
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: there was a killing in Minnesota and ice agent shot
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: a woman who was obviously trying to drive her card.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: Was it justified? Some people are saying it isn't some
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: people are saying it is. That's a neutral, boiled down
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: analysis of what is ultimately a very complicated issue. But
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: once you start interjecting this was murder, roberber, that's not news.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: That becomes opinion. And that seems to me where all
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: news has gone.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 15: That's right, and it's gotten very sensationalized. But depending on
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 15: the bias of the people in the newsroom. And you
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 15: know how this can be infectious. Hey, you get one
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 15: activist person in there who's outspoken. You've got other people
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 15: who aren't as outspoken. They just want to come in
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 15: and do their jobs. They can be influenced by those people.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: Oh here, what immediately popped into my mind the team
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: meeting at work. You got your boss in the room,
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: and your boss comes up with some kind of a
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: solution or suggestion for a new work function or whatever.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: Does anybody to have any problems or objections with that?
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: It's her idea, she's the queen of the room, and
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: somebody inside has got this point. Oh my god, had
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: she thought about maybe this happening? Because that doesn't sound
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: like it's going to work out really well. Now, you
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: keep your mouth shut.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 14: That's right, that's right, that's exactly great.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: To make the point.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 14: Well, and you don't want to lose your job, you don't.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 15: Want to be ostracized, right, and then if it gets
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 15: too toxic, you end up leaving.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 14: And then what happened.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 15: Only five percent now of journalists consider themselves conservative. The
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 15: vast majority consider themselves either kind of centrists, right, because
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 15: that's their job actually is just so who knows if
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 15: they're even telling them the truth on that. But many
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 15: of them are democrat or they consider themselves far left.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 15: So that's a big, big problem if that's the case.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 15: And that's what the numbers are showing. That's an actual
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 15: survey that was taken, so people can actually look that up.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 15: But also something came out just recently that I saw
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 15: where men, particularly conservative men of your p and descent,
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 15: were kept out of newsrooms. So this whole DEI thing
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 15: they kind of went overboard. Well, yeah, and your voice,
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 15: my voice, the things that we believe in are not
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 15: being written anymore. So that's where you see these headlines
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 15: that are slanted more to the left. And it's a
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 15: big problem in news. And it wasn't just that, like
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 15: that's stuff I found recently. We've been building this newspaper
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 15: for a while now. It actually launched maybe two months ago.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 15: But the idea was we called it to sin Sa
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 15: Exchange because it's an exchange of ideas. It's an exchange
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 15: of everybody's ideas. And I wanted to bring people like
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 15: Todd and Todd's actually written for it, and bring those
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 15: folks in, bring those voices in that don't feel heard
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 15: and aren't getting op eds printed in local newspapers.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: And nobody provides more supportive documentation or implement or information
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: than a guy like Todd Zinser. He's an important voice.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: He has an opinion about it. But here are the
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: documents which gave rise to my commentary or gave rise
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: to my criticism about the mayor or council or what's
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: going on behind the scenes or Sheryl Long. It's like, oh,
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: you're just some bright wing concern. No, no, here, here
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: is the reason why I'm making this criticism. They haven't
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: followed thood with paperwork, they haven't followed through with where
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: the money went. Fill in the bike. Why didn't they
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: buy the trucks we needed to do snow removal? I mean,
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: he looks into that and then provides, you know, the
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: credibility for it. Yeah, nobody's listening to him.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 15: Well, and you don't want to feel like you're being
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 15: bullied by Plumb Street, right, Yeah. And a lot of
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 15: times those news organizations, you know, they're either ideologically ideologically
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 15: tied to what's going on at Plum Street, or they're
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 15: just afraid to challenge what's going on down there. Guys
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 15: like Todd are not afraid, No, not at all. Smitherman
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 15: not afraid. Right, And those two podcasts are actually streaming

  Speaker 1: four four three two era back in the seventies, you know,
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: and they were really focusing on grains and and that's
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: like the bottom. They treat grains and bread and things
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: of that nature, like carbohydrates like they used to treat sugar.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 14: Oh yeah, oh yeah. And before the break we were
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 14: just talking about food. We're talking about.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 15: Healthy habits and things that you've been doing, things that
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 15: I do, and it's it's really important to have that.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 15: But you know, it's also important when you're talking about
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 15: the news to tell the truth, amen, and to try
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 15: to get out here and have that other perspective. And
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 15: the problem is is so the city of Cincinnatis you
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 15: could see in Corey's campaign eighty twenty, which was surprising
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 15: to me, but that's the city. When you go across
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 15: the river, you get out into the suburbs, you get
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 15: up into Butler Warren, those places are still served by
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 15: Cincinnati media. Yes, they are so those people. And you
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 15: know when I was running, I was running for Hamblin County.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 15: So go out in different parts of Hamilton County and
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 15: you talk to these folks and they're the ones who
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 15: are like, I'm canceling my subscription to this. I don't
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 15: want to read this anymore. I don't feel like, you know,
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 15: my perspective or what I see, how I see the
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 15: world is portrayed in this particular news. So there's an
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 15: audience there that isn't being served correct by the current media.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 15: Outside of like your your podcast, this show. You know,
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 15: i'd say Trisha Mackie, she's doing a great job. But
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 15: there's some people out here that just say, look, I
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 15: don't feel like I want to read this thing anymore
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 15: because you know, it's just not serving me. So there's
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 15: an opportunity there for another news group to come in
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 15: here that wants to tell the truth, that wants to
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 15: bring in local voices instead of local staff. So I
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 15: want to bring these people in, mix it up a
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 15: little bit and have these stories told from the people's perspective.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you'll, of course you're inviting people to offer content,
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: it sounds like to me.
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 14: Yeah, well yeah, I mean people can come in.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 1: It's like writing a letter to the editor. You may
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: get it published in the enquire you may not. Yeah,
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: that's right now, that's I suppose that's a may or
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: may not with you as well. But if you've got
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: some legitimate point to make, if it's logical, it's reasonable,
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: and it presents your side of the Ledger, go ahead
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: and send it into Adam over at the the since
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: a change. Maybe you'll actually see it in print and
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: it might get read by someone that's right.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 15: Yeah, And guys like Todd. You know, I trust Todd.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 15: You know I've I've I've talked to Todd so many times.
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 15: We were involved in the whole railroad sale thing. Uh,
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 15: you know, Todd knows what he's doing.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: I mean he does.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 15: Former US Inspector General and you know, dots his eyes,
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 15: crosses his t's and he's the type of guy I
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 15: want to I want to hear from. And Tom Brickman.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 15: I mean, who's better at talking about tax than Tom Brickman?
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 15: So, I mean you got guys like that that I've
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 15: met through my political experience. Uh, you know, people with
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 15: some of these organizations that are very concerned about what's
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 15: going on in the city.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 14: I mean, look at what just happened.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 15: You had AFTAB come out after they promised there wouldn't
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 15: be any new taxes, you know, because of the railroad.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 14: Yeah exactly.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 15: Yeah, George Bush all over again, right, and Bush at.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: Least faced consequences. Fore, maybe that's why AFTAB kept his
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: powder dried till after he got elected. And then he says, oh,
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: by the way, I'm going to raise your income tax exactly,
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: Oh the name of public safety, though, Adam, this time,
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: it's not equal housing or affordable housing or some kind
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: of nonsensical left wing program. It's for public safety right
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: where you've been on that topic for so long.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 14: Well, they've been hating on the police.
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: They have been, yes, ganging up on them with obviously
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: the the the intended result. Nobody wants to be a
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: cop anymore, or we are now struggling with it. One
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: more with Adam Keler, followed by Congressman David Taylor after
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: the top of the Our News will continue in a
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: moment here at seven forty six right now if you
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: five kcity talk station, and another opportunity for me to
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: remind you that there is a the talk station seven
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: fifty here fifty five KRCD talk station probably Eve again.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: Congressman David Taylor at the top of the Our News
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: with Jay Ratliffe if our aviation expert at the bottom
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: of the next hour. In the meantime, Adam Kayler in studio.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: And you really should you really should bookmark and I
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: know regularly recommend websites of folks, But if you want local,
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: balanced information about what's going on, you feel like you're
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: not getting it from your local news outlets, maybe like
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: the Inquirer kind of rubs you the wrong way for
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: some reason, or you're reporting from Fox nineteen or five
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: or nine or twelve. The Cincinnati Exchange dot com may
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: even get your own stuff printed in there. I know
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: you've had some some good donations, some good offerings, including
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: Corey Bowman just recently wrote an article for you on
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: crime in the area. That's great, but moving away from
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: that sort of local element. And I don't want to
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: take the time away, but you and I just stumbled
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: ssembled upon something I brought up earlier this morning. I oh, yesterday,
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: and this is an article right there on this and
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: say exchange corporate home buying banned. Trump moves to block
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: institutional investors from buying up all these houses. We know
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: that's going on. And there are some regions of the
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: country where the city, the home ownership in the city
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: is like made comprised of fifteen to twenty twenty five
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: percent of like a Blackrock ownership.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 15: Oh, Blackrock owns a lot, hundreds of thousands of units,
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 15: all right.
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: The capitalist in me says, well, wait a second, this
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: is government interference. They are a buyer. It's an open market.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: They should be free to buy. But the realist in
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: me knows that's making things very difficult for the regular
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: I want to buy a house homeowner, the American dream.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: They've been priced out of the market because Blackrock shows
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: up with, you know, an extra hundred thousand dollars and
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: you can't compete with that. So I was struggling with
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: that reality. Donald Trump's trying to appeal to the populism,
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: and this is a remarkable I said this morning. It
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: sounds like an idea that came from Democrats.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 14: It totally does.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 14: Remember Trump used to be a Democrat.
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: So that's he is who whatever.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 15: He's Also he's also real estate guy, right, and he
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 15: knows what he's been hearing. I mean, you know, if
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 15: I'm a political adviser and I'm talking to him right now, say, look,
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 15: the vast majority of people want cheap houses versus love
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 15: black Rock, right right, overwhelmingly overwhelming. But yeah, I mean
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 15: I think I think it's it's a little bit of overreach.
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 15: I mean the same thing he did with the Intel, right.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 15: I mean, guys like you and I, more libertarian type folks, yes,
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 15: you know we see stuff like that. We're like, whoa
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 15: wait a minute, government overreach, but in a different way.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: Right, yep.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 15: Uh, And then you look at places like New York.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 15: I mean, look what mum Donnie's doing.
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: Listeners, Adam's going to shed a light on something that
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: probably should frighten you. Go ahead, Adams.
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 15: Well, and this is the kind of thing I don't
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 15: think would get covered correctly here locally. But there's this
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 15: thing called the KOPA in New York. And what it
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 15: does is it doesn't necessarily seize property outright, the one
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 15: big thing we're scared of with communism, right, and socialism
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 15: eventually leads to property seizure.
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 14: Well, if you own property.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: The elimination of private property is the goal.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 15: That's it, right, and then redistribution this is what they promise, right,
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 15: So it restricts who you can sell your property to.
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 15: And then it slows down the process, so you actually
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 15: have to offer your commercial property.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, So I own a building in New York, yep,
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: I want to sell it. I'm moving, yep. I have
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: to go to this entity and say I'm selling my home.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: Give them. It's the right of first refusal.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 15: Correct, exactly. And in America, you want to sell your
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 15: property as quickly as possible, right, you think I live
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 15: in America? I own property in America, I could sell
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 15: it to whoever I want to sell it to, not
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 15: in the city of New York.
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: So you have a buyer under that scenario and they
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: want to offer you, let's say a million dollars for
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: this property, you still must go to that entity and
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: give them the option of outbidding. Yep.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 15: And nonprofits tied to the government, right, and the government
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 15: itself gets right a first refusal. You actually, even if
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 15: you've got a deal on the table with a buyer,
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 15: you have to offer your property up to one of
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 15: these nonprofits. And if it's in a great area, do
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 15: you think the city of New York, mom, Donnie is
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 15: going to find the money to give to a nonprofit
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 15: who's going to purchase your property?
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: And what is phase two or perhaps phase three, which
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: is the ultimate goal in this nonsense. The left wing organizations,
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: basically a conglomerate of all these organizations will collectively get together.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: It becomes sort of the left wing black rock that's right,
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: and buy up these properties because they have the right
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: of first refusal. And then what do they do with them?
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 15: Oh, they bring in a whole bunch of people to
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 15: vote the way they want them to vote and they
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 15: stick them in these units and next thing you know,
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 15: the city's flooded with democratic socialist.
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: Well, I think the fact that Mom Donnie got elected
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: is already an illustration of the city has been flooded
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: with a Democratics.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 15: So well, when a lack of effort by Republicans or
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 15: even by normal Democrats, right, I mean, just moderate people
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 15: who just didn't come out to vote. Happened in Miami,
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 15: like less than twenty percent of the people came out
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 15: to vote. Miami, they have a Democrat mayor now right
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 15: after Mayor Suarez, who's, in my opinion, has done a
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 15: great job, but nobody's voted. And look at Cincinnatickers put
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 15: Little California Riverside are the only places in Cincinnati the
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 15: vote the vote to the right anymore, and everybody else
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 15: is hardcore blue.
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: This is a permanent fixture now in the fifty five
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 1: krecy Morning show studio is this map of the city
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. And when we have crime and bad things happen,
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: or neighborhoods want to go a different direction beyond SINCINNY
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: City Council's ideas, I can quickly consult like Oh, Clifton
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: eighty five to one hundred percent have to have provall well,
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: that might explain something.
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 14: It's all right there, right there, that's right.

  Speaker 1: the residents of the area. And that's a great thing,
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: filling that gap. Welcome back, Congressman David Taylor. Thank you
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: for indulging me. Well, I got that out of my
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: system and let my listeners know. Welcome back in Happy
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 1: New year, sir, it's a pleasure to have you on
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: as always.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 5: Going to be with you. Brian. I hope you had
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 5: a great Christmas in New Year's you know.
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: I did, and I was so optimistic and hopeful that
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six was just gonna start off, you know,
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: great and smiles and grins and Lord almighty, we've had
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: like six months worth of a news cycle in the
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: first couple or first week and a half. Let's start
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: with the most recent news cycle story dominating the headlines,
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: the ice shooting in Minneapolis. I mean, I guess the idea,
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: listen to what law enforcement has to say. Even if
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: you disagree with the concept of law enforcement, if you
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: don't screw around and try to run them over, nothing
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 1: bad will happen to you. Boiling it down to its
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: minimum terms there. Congressman, what's your reaction to what's going
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: on with this one?
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a falling situation, and the reaction to
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 5: the the situation may be even worse than than the
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 5: in the long run. Obviously, the Left has been emboldening
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 5: their lunatic base from for months now to to take
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 5: to the streets and in many different regards, but especially
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 5: when when ICE or ICE agents are there, you know,
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 5: in care of their their mandated constitutional duties, and our people,
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 5: like the the mayor of Minneapolis and the governor of
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 5: Minnesota are out there saying, you know, we're going to
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 5: resist you. And and what they said in the wake
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 5: of this was unbelievably appalling. The mayor saying that he
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 5: instantly says it's it's not self defense when the video
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 5: certainly makes it look to me like, uh, it very
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 5: much was self defense. And then the governor follows that
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 5: up with We're going to call in our National guardsmen
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 5: to oppose federal officers who are there to perform their duties.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 5: It was actually made me sick to my stomach. Uh
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 5: to hear those comments. Uh, you know, just I'd like
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 5: to say I'm shocked. I guess I'm not shocks because
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 5: since the day I got to Congress, which is all
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 5: that many days ago, every Democratic leader that approached a
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 5: microphone has suggested some form of violence in the streets
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 5: over this or that issue.
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: Well, they got what I think they were looking for.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: They got the martyr they wanted. It's the George Floyd.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: In connection with the Ice situation, much in the same way,
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: it was, you know, George Floyd to start this whole
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter and anti defund the police process. Storm
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: the streets ignored some of the underlying facts, most notably
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: that this woman was ignoring the direction directives of authorized
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: law enforcement and did exactly it did, in fact, gunner
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: car and toward an ICE agent. I mean that's an
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: intentional act.
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 5: I don't anyway, No, absolutely, well, you know two things
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 5: on that these ICE agents have heard these constant calls
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 5: for violence. In fact, apparently the officer, one of the
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 5: officers involved in the shooting had previously been dragged by
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 5: a car. They know that these folks that are coming
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 5: to the streets are feel fully justified in them whatever
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 5: they can to stop ICE from doing their duties. And
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 5: from a coldly political calculus, as you were referring to,
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 5: Democrats know that the American public wants ICE to be
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 5: able to do its job. We want we got the
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 5: border sealed, but they know there's more work to be
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 5: done to get the illegal criminal, aliens, terrorists out of
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 5: our country. They're hoping that some violence in the streets
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 5: were somebody that they can at least portray as an
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 5: innocent victim, might change those numbers and help them obtain power.
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's the real motivation behind the nonsense they
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 5: spew into every microphone.
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, it just troubles me that, you know,
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: behind the veero all this screaming and yelling and anger
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 1: is they're ultimately streaming and yelling and angry over us
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: getting rid of demonstrably horrific human beings. This has nothing
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: to do with the color of their skin, has nothing
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: to do with their country of origin, other than the
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: fact that they're not American citizens and they violated our
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 1: American law by coming here. Don't care what color the
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: skin is, black, brown, yellow, It doesn't matter if they
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: want to do harm to us, if they are child molesters, rapists, terrorists,
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: I think I want them out of the country. And
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 1: they're arguing that they should be left in our country.
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 1: They're ignoring the fraud perpetrated on the state of Minnesota
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 1: and the American taxpayers because well, it was done by the
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 1: Somali community. If we criticize them for doing this, we're
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 1: racist for that. No, we apply the law equally to
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 1: all people right there. Anyhow, I just find it impossible
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 1: to believe that there is an out loud defense of
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 1: or for keeping these people in the country when they
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 1: are are notably, demonstrably and have been convicted of multiple crimes.
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 1: I just can't understand it.
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 5: Congressman, Well, I think the bulk of the public agrees
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 5: with you. And again that's what causes the prona ridiculous
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 5: rhetoric that we're hearing from the left to try to
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 5: just anything that's to change the narrative around that. And
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 5: they had a hearing yesterday with some of the Minnesota
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 5: fraud that you were just referring to, and I mean
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 5: an excellent point was made in that hearing where we
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 5: don't care about the color of the skin. All we
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 5: care about here is the green. That the fraud is
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 5: all green. That's you know, billions of dollars that could
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 5: be helping Americas being funneled Somalia to al Shabab or
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 5: just kept here and squandered by people who have no
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 5: business here in the first place.
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 1: Well, I was a little I was taking aback when
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: I heard at the top of the our news before
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 1: the show started this morning at five o'clock that Minneapolis
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: was shutting their schools down. Maybe Minnesota generally speaking and
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: out of an abundance of caution because of the organized
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 1: protest that popped up instantaneously. Congressman Davidson earlier in the
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: program in at a student observation, well, that so the
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: teachers can go out and protest. That's so the young people,
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 1: the teenagers in high school can get out there and
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: join the protests. And I think that's probably an accurate assessment.
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no question, we know what's being taught in some
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 5: of our schools, probably especially those around Minneapolis. I'm sure
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 5: that the kids and the teachers for sure were very
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 5: anxious to be a part of that mass that started
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 5: right after the irresponsible remarks from Walls and Fry and
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 5: Dan Goldman out here, just you know, ridiculous things that
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 5: have been said about this officer. They're going to put
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 5: his life in danger. It's really sad to see, but
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 5: it's not unexpected.
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: It is sad to see. And then the organizations that have,
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 1: you know, have quickly organized these process are just they
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 1: vary from like different political ideologies. There are the Green
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 1: New Deal folks out there, they are pro Palestinian out there,
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 1: the anti Israeli folks, the defund the police folks. Then
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 1: you have all these Marxist organizations again collectively joining to
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 1: stoke the fire of these protests. You know, folks like
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 1: the National Alliance against Racist and Political Repression, the organization
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 1: called Individual, which is a far left wing organization. I mean,
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 1: the list is endless, The causes are disparate and varied,
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 1: but they are all far left organizations collectively, I think
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 1: joining together to undermine America generally speaking. That's the only
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 1: conclusion I can reach. Include the Palestinian youth movement. What
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 1: do they have to do with ice agents?
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 5: Right? Well, it's kind of funny, but it's not funny.
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 5: But something I've seen here and watching DC, you'll see
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 5: a group of protesters in front of a building that
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 5: say protesting, you know, maybe in front of the embassy
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 5: for Israel or a place like that. Now have three
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 5: or four other issue signs or flags laid by their
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 5: feet for where they're going next. They're just professional protesters.
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 5: The cause is less important than the fact that they're out.
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 5: There's sturd crap up.
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 1: And that goes back to my point earlier, is like,
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 1: where in the hell are the conservatives of the world
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 1: organizing and taking to the streets in opposition of all
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 1: these left winging IDL or left winging organizations, and they're
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 1: principles and what they're doing to our country they just are.
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 1: And a bunch of people respond to me is everybody
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: has jobs. The conservatives has had jobs. Now the professional protesters.
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 1: Your point, it's which sign am I carrying today? Someone's
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 1: paying me. I'll just grab the side. We'll continue with
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 1: Congressman David Taylor, will find out about what is the
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 1: Caro City Talk station. It's a new year and it's
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 1: a new conversation with Congressman David Taylor, who is kind
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 1: enough to join the morning show and inform my listeners
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 1: and me about what's going on on a variety of
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 1: different topics. So moving over, we've had quite a few
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 1: really seriously tragic highway accidents involving commercial driver's licensed drivers.
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 1: These big semis get behind the wheel and sadly we
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 1: find out they can't even read the road signs. Real problem.
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 1: And I think I guess as a response to that,
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 1: is that your motivation behind launching this what it says
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 1: right here, Bipartisan Congressional Trucking Caucus Congressman Taylor, that.
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 5: Absolutely plays a role. Brian, for sure, you know trucking
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 5: is a big issue in every district, but you know,
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 5: in our district maybe more so than some. We've the
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 5: Kenworth factories in Ross County. They built eighty five percent
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 5: of their their big semis but right there in the
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 5: second district. So and of course we talked a little
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 5: bit about Connor's Law last time I was on with you,
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 5: which he addresses a CDL issue you were talking about.
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 5: But meeting with my staff one day, I said, you know, well,
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 5: we should probably join the Trucking Caucus. There's a caucus
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 5: out here for literally everything, which was great, but come
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 5: to find out there is not a trucking caucus. So
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 5: I talked to my friend Shamari Figures represented from Alabama.
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 5: We're kicking off the trucking Caucus. Interest has been off
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 5: the charts. On a somewhat said note, with one of
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 5: our original members, Dougla Malfa of California, unfortunately just passed away,
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 5: but he was he was already becoming a very good
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 5: friend and very knowledgeable on the trucking issues. So he'll
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 5: be missed in many ways. We were missed. Not to
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 5: mention that, but right the CDL issue has been in
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 5: the forefront of the news because of all the horrible
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 5: accidents lately, But there are all kinds of trucking related
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 5: issues from EPA emissions rules that are currently under review.
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 5: It started to know seven that were counterproductive and actually
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 5: made trucking less safe. We've sponsored two bills regarding the
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 5: English proficiency and this is sort of a small trucking issue,
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 5: but there's a rule where if you have a semi
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 5: broke broken down on the side of the road, it
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 5: has to be towed. That tow truck operator has to
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 5: break that truck down and toe. You can't toe the
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 5: whole thing because of the length requirement LinkedIn weight requirements
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 5: set everybody's hair on fire in the trucking business. Have
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 5: to be very careful dealing with that. But we just
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 5: sponsored a bill that said you can pull it to
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 5: the next safe exit, next safe place and then break
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 5: it down because breaking it down on the side of
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 5: road in that situation, and Daniel is not just the
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 5: driver toe truck driver, police officer. That's there other drivers
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 5: on the road. So we're hoping to get some of
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 5: those kind of things done and generally make truckers safer.
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 5: People are traveling with truckers safer and ultimately trucker's more prosperous.
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 1: Wow, before we put it over to the Royal Health
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 1: Transfer Transformation Program and some money and love you bring
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 1: them back to the state of Ohio. Can I just
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 1: ask you out lot, is there any opposition to that
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 1: that that that English language requirement if you're going to
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 1: operate one of these multi tone commercial vehicles? Is someone
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 1: articulated opposition to that?
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 5: Generally, Brian, nothing's been articulated. My concern I've expected by
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 5: partisan support for it, but.
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 1: I would hope.
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 5: I'm a I'm a chronic optimist. I get blamed for
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 5: that all the time, but so I anticipate, you know,
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 5: good ideas to get supported by everybody. But my concern
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 5: is the keeping illegal immigrants in the United States is
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 5: like a central plank of the Democrat platform now, so
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 5: somehow this will tangentially affect that and they may just
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 5: not say anything about it, but they darn sure may
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 5: not vote for it.
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 1: At the same time, Well, we will keep our hop
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 1: card out and anticipation of that one. And finally we
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 1: have the money. The two hundred and two million dollars
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 1: it was ward of the state of Ohio as a
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 1: consequence of your efforts, what's going on with this, Well.
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 5: It took a lot of people's efforts, Brian, I appreciate
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 5: that this was huge just as part of the Big
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 5: Beautiful Bill. The second District has the worst health outcomes
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 5: in Ohio. You know, most chronic illness, is shortest lifespan, obesity,
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 5: the list goes on and on. And we have great
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 5: community hospitals, we don't have nearly enough of them. We
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 5: have amazing quality of care, but it's too hard to
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 5: get to it, it's too expensive. All those things are
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 5: still true, and the situation coming out of the Big
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 5: Beautiful Bill is going to threaten the sustainability of our
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 5: great community hospitals. And I want to especially thank not
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 5: only President Trump, who played a huge role, of course,
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 5: but Senator Houston and Senator Marino because the bills already
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 5: in their hands at that point, they did incredible work.
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 5: Especially want to tip my hat to Senator Houstad who
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 5: really did excellent work to make Ohio's outcome in that
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 5: and that bill as good as could possibly be. So
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 5: I don't want to I'm happy to share the information
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 5: with your listeners. I don't want to take I don't
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 5: want to take all the credit that those guys deserve.
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 5: They did a great show. We did everything we could
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 5: in our office to help it along, but really the
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 5: hard work happened over there. But yeah, we'll get two
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 5: hundred and two million dollars a year for five years
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 5: to strengthen your rural hospitals and clinics and expand access
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 5: to primary care, behavioral health services, modernized healthcare infrastructure, and
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 5: you just improve the health outcomes for people in rural
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 5: areas like the second district. The one thing I do
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 5: want to add is several Ohio reps of myself, including
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 5: Chairman Jordan and Mike Ruley, my good friend, and my
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 5: friend Lawren Davidson that you spoke to earlier. We led
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 5: a letter to Governor to Wine to make sure that
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 5: when we get these dollars, they go to rural hospitals.
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 5: There are dual designation hospitals that are both urban and rural,
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 5: and I'm for all the good work all of them do.
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 5: Not all of those dual designated ones have the financial
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 5: issues that our real rural hospitals have, so I'd like
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 5: to see them prioritize, and hopefully that's what I know
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 5: the governor will do the right thing. He has the
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 5: soft spot for Appalachia and we love that.
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 1: That's wonderful. Congressman, it is pleasure always. As always, they
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 1: have you on. Congressman David Taylor. I look forward to
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 1: our further conversations and counter your twenty twenty six and again,
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: a very happy new year to you. I appreciate the
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 1: work that you're doing on behalf of the Highlands and
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 1: the country generally speaking. Keep up the great work and
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 1: until our next conversation, best of health to you and
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 1: your family.
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 5: Thank you, my friend saying to you and yours.
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: Thank you much. Stay around and I heard me the
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 1: aviation next for Jay rattleve it's new year. It's another
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 1: segment with Jay. I always look forward to this time
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 1: of the week because it's time to get some aviation
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 1: and pformation from iHeartMedia aviation expert. Jay ratleft. Jay ratleft,
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 1: welcome back and a very happy new year. And my friend,
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 1: I'm glad we're continuing this segment because I always look
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 1: forward to it.
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 16: Yeah, first chance I've had to issue. A happy new
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 16: year and a lot to be thankful for us always.
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I got through some trials and tribulations in
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 1: my life, and I always go out in search of
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 1: something that's really positive to sort of negate the blue
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 1: that might overcome my mood.
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 16: I was taught a long time ago, if you're feeling
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 16: really bad about yourself, just got and try to help
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 16: somebody else, and it it tends to lift your spirits
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 16: a bit.
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 1: Yes, it does, no question about it.
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 7: I had them.
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 1: I won't go back over it. But I had a
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 1: beautiful moment yesterday at listener lunch. It actually brought a
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 1: tear to my eye. So that was my bright spot. Oh,
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: the woman added me. She added me to the church's
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 1: prayer list and the pamphlet for service because she heard
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 1: me mention that I had to go back into my
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 1: cancer treatment. I'm starting that next week because my lymph
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 1: note started growing again, and so she thought that was
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 1: the kindest gesture.
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 16: I know, there's a lot of people praying for you,
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 16: not only when that's going on, but other times as well,
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 16: so i'd.
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 1: See right there, you know, it sucks, I gotta go
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 1: get chemogain, But you know what, I got people out
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 1: there thinking about me and doing beautiful things like that,
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 1: So I feel positive overall about that. New calendar year
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 1: and a new curveball throwing at you instead of the
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 1: list that you provided with me, which we will get.
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 16: Oh, you mean the nineteen things I threw you.
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah, let's talk about something else.
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 5: No.
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 1: I just thought it was rather unusual. And how often
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 1: does this happen? Hopefully not very often. All eight tires
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 1: burst on landing and this flight coming into Atlanta the
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 1: other day.
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 16: Yeah, it's unusual to have. Formally, when a tire blows,
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 16: if the crew comes down and has what we call
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 16: a hard landing, the main tires, which are the main
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 16: landing gear underneath the wing, sometimes you'll see a tire
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 16: or to burst on the landing if it's a hard landing, right,
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 16: I mean, I don't know that I can control all
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 16: the brain cells in my head right now. I can't
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 16: recall a single time where every you had all these
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 16: tires it just boom, went flat. And it suggests some
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 16: sort of a maintenance issue more than anything else, because
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 16: you know, to impact all tires at the same time
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 16: you're talking about an aircraft cut carrier landing, you know, boom,
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 16: all the main in the front landing gear landing at
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 16: the same time, landing hard that's not how we do
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 16: commercial aviation. It's more like a space shuttle comes in,
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 16: you know, the noses up, the main gears hit and
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 16: then they rowed slowly down.
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 16: So but yeah, in this case, it's going to be
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 16: interesting to see and we don't know for sure, but
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 16: it's either an issue with the crew and I don't
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 16: think so, or some sort of mechanical malfunction. Probably it's
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 16: a breaking system. It might have engaged something where there
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 16: was extreme pressure and stress put on those tires at
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 16: one time.
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 1: All good news is like they'll locked up for example.
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 16: Yeah, exactly. So we don't know that that's the case,
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 16: and you know, it may have been a combination of factors.
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 16: It was not something that created a safety issue, thank
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 16: thankfully for that. But what ended up taking place was that, Yeah,
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 16: it was inconvenience for the passengers who had a delay
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 16: in getting off the airplane. And you know that's always frustrating.
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 16: But the good news is you got a story to
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 16: tell and on something that rarely happens in aviation. So yeah,
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 16: that's that's kind of a I don't want to say,
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 16: a cool thing because I went on the plane trying
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 16: to make a connection but yeah, it was. It was
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 16: definitely unusual.
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 1: Fortunately again no injuries, a couple of hundred people on
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 1: that plane, but that would just freak me out anyway,
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 1: I don't need any more things to freaked me out
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 1: about air travel. We'll continue with I heard media aviation
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 1: expert Jay Ratliff. Maybe you have a drunk pilot. We
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 1: got to ask an airlines pilot on the plane when
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 1: the door flew up, apparently now engaging in some litigation.
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 1: That and a whole lot more with Jay Ratliffe stick around.
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 2: Fifty five KRC been in the cockpit before.
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 1: Jay Ratliffe, has I heard media aviation expert? We are
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 1: blessed at him every Thursday beginning at eight thirty to
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 1: close out the show. Pivoting over Jay Ratliffe, the Alaskan
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 1: Airline pilot. This is the guy who's flying the plane
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 1: where the door just kind of flew off at a
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 1: newer he's suing boeing what.
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 16: Yeah, it was well initially when this happened, and it
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 16: was actually two years ago Monday, January twenty four, it's
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 16: been two years when that seven thirty seven took off,
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 16: they left Portland. They were in the air just a
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 16: matter of minutes when that door flew flew off, fell off,
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 16: however you want to put it. Initially, Boeing was indicating
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 16: alluding to not outright suggesting, but leaning in the direction
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 16: that perhaps the crew oh bit to blame.
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 1: And that's like an excuational damage kind of thing.
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 16: So yeah, oh absolutely. So what happened was, it was
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 16: later discovered by the All Star team the National Transportation
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 16: Safety Board, the crew had nothing to do with it
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 16: other than doing an incredible job of you know, when
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 16: that decompression took place. We talked about how the explosive
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 16: decompression was so severe that the cockpit door flew open
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 16: through the pilots forward. Everything in the cockpit was flying
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 16: immediately all through the air. Pilots are trying to figure
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 16: out what's going on. They thought maybe a bomb had
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 16: gone off. They're trying to do what they can to
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 16: make an emergency landing, and I mean they're doing an
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 16: A plus plus plus job. And you know, there was
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 16: a lot of things that you know, that the crew
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 16: was responsible for in a good way. They landed the
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 16: plane minor injuries, no fatalities, and I guess on a
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 16: lot of these briands that you have two years or
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 16: so from the event to file a claim of some
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 16: kind and towards again, and apparently that that was approaching
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 16: and this is a ten million dollar lawsuit. We'll see
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 16: where it goes. Strangely and enough, Boeing, who was maybe
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 16: accusing others, Uh, they were asked to provide documentation the
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 16: video in the training records of who was overseeing the
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 16: installation of that door at the time that it was
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 16: put in the airplane. They lost that right they they
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 16: couldn't find it anywhere. So yeah, yeah, exactly. So while
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 16: there may be blaming the pilots, you know, they're they're
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 16: doing Oliver North shredding documents in the back room. But
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 16: it's just frustrating. It's you know, and you know, the
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 16: movie solely there was an there was kind of a
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 16: theme throughout the movie that there was blame on the
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 16: crew for not you know, landing the airplane back at
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 16: an airport versus going in the Hudson River. There was
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 16: some issue with the insurance company, but that wasn't an
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 16: airline or an aircraft manufacturer necessarily that was blaming a
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 16: flight crew. That was more the insurance company that was
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 16: you know, responsible for that, Yeah, it's.
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 1: A coverage dispute. That's that's independent of that. Yeah, all
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 1: rights and exclusions and they're going to assert them. Trust me,
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 1: I used to represent insurance companies, would do that, just
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 1: that kind of thing almost every single day of my life.
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 1: All Right, Well, I thought maybe it was like for
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 1: emotional distress or something, considering well.
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 16: That's being thrown in there as well obviously, because yeah,
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 16: but you know, we'll see where it goes. And again,
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 16: that crew just did an incredible job. In fact, such
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 16: a good job. The way they reacted is something that
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 16: other crews can train with the same ways that the
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 16: Southwest Airlines flight over Pennsylvania when that engine decompressed, struck
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 16: the side of the aircraft and we had it sadly
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 16: a fatality. That flight crew Tamy Joe Schultz, who is
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 16: the captain on that one of the Navy's first fighter pilots.
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 16: She did a great job in what that crew did
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 16: is also a subject of training. So yeah, most of
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 16: the time, these flight crews just do an unbelievable job,
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 16: and it's sad when it suggests that they do otherwise.
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 1: Amen to that Air India, I guess got a pilot
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 1: there that. I mean, come on, they don't pilots understand
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 1: the general you can't drink before flying. What happened with
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 1: this I failed to breathalyzer test.
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 16: Yeah, what took put in And depending on the airline,
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 16: it's either eight or ten or twelve hours a bottle
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 16: to throttle, meaning if you know you're on duty at
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 16: X amount of time, you cannot have anything to drink
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 16: at all, so many hours before you report to duty.
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 16: That's where pilots, mechanics and others. So this incident happened
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 16: last month late and we're just not getting the details.
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 16: Where this crew was showing up Vancouver. They were taking
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 16: an aircraft to Delhi, and somebody at the airport, one
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 16: of the screeners or somebody with the airport operations, noticed
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 16: one of the pilots behaving like perhaps they were under
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 16: the influence of something. We don't say they were drawn,
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 16: because you know, sometimes it could be medication they're reacting
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 16: to or whatever. So they did what they were supposed to.
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 16: They reported it. The police were notified and they pulled
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 16: the pilot off I think it was a captain and
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 16: gave him a pre flight alcohol test, which he failed.
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 5: So they were moved.
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 16: Him from service. Air India had another crew come in
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 16: to take care of it. And when you've got four
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 16: hundreds and pilots or whatever we've got worldwide, anytime one
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 16: of these things makes the news, it really goes viral
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 16: and people think, oh my gosh, you know, are all
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 16: these pilots drinking? And it seems like women never drink
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 16: because it's always a man that gets caught. And then
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 16: I remind people we have probably less than four percent
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 16: of the world's population of pilots or women, so statistically speaking,
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 16: there's a better chance we're going to be talking about
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 16: a man. But obviously men and women both have issues
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 16: with substance. And in this case, it was caught, as
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 16: most of these are, by somebody at the airport who
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 16: notices something and says something, so great job to whoever
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 16: was responsible for making sure that that was looked into.
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 1: Well, it's a good reminder all the pilots of the
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 1: world because these are widely reported. So you know, it's
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 1: just one more thing. Yeah, don't do that, don't be
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 1: that guy.
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 16: We'll Spirit You risk your whole career for something like that, right,
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 16: it makes no sense.
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 1: Now, will Spirit Airlines survive the year topic number three
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 1: here on your chart. Will they I hope?
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 7: So, I think they're going to need to merge.
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 16: I think they're gonna have to merge wither or you know,
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 16: somebody may come along and say, we need some additional
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 16: silver revenue tubes in our fleet. As far as aircraft,
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 16: and you know, spirits there with one hundred and two
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 16: or something of these airbus aircraft. Airbus itself, the manufacturer
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 16: has about a nine thousand plane back laws. So if
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 16: you're thinking, you know, I could really use some aircraft,
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 16: somebody might look in and go at acquiring Spirit for
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 16: no other reason than those resources. So you just don't know.
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 16: Now they've got an influx of cash that's going to
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 16: keep them moving that they're adjusting some of the things
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 16: that are eliminating a lot of the not so profitable routes,
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 16: which is good. They've reached an agreement with their employees
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 16: to for reduce paying benefits. Great job there. They're bringing
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 16: in premium seats which are going to allow them to
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 16: add create some additional revenue. So brand they're checking all
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 16: the boxes, They're doing all the things that they need
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 16: to do.
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 5: The question is the.
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 16: Time on the clock are they going to have enough
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 16: cash to keep things moving. Remember they filed for bankruptcy
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 16: twice in the last year year and a half, so
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 16: they've gone through the Chapter eleven process more than once.
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 16: And you know what, we'll see where it goes. I
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 16: really hope that they survived. Now they don't fly into
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 16: Cincinnati at this point. But anytime you have a low
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 16: cost carrier, it helps in whatever market that they're in
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 16: to keep the fares down because you love that competition
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 16: between airlines, and anytime there's a merger or one of
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 16: these airlines goes out of business, the legacy carriers behind
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 16: closed doors are doing a snoopy dance, and it gives
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 16: them the opportunity to raise fairs in a lot of markets.
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 1: And make more money.
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 16: Remember Delta and the United last year making a billion
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 16: dollars in profit in a single quarter, Thank you very much.
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 16: So yeah, they would love to see that happen. In fact,
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 16: that I think it was the president of United said
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 16: the low cost you know model, it's broken never really
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 16: worked well. A lot of these low cost carriers are like,
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 16: we'll show you. So that's why I'm always cheering for
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 16: the little guys, you know, CVGS.
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 1: Where we fly in and out of. I remember when
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 1: there weren't any low cost care. We were one of
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 1: the most expensive airports in the country. Welcome to the
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 1: reality of competition. Let's bring it now.
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 16: We're the airport that a lot of people around the
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 16: country want to be. I can't tell you the number
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 16: of times I've been on a Sacramento in La San Diego,
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 16: a Chicago New York radio station and they say, Jay,
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 16: we've looked into the airport at Cincinnati. My gosh, you know,
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 16: there used to be a hub they had. This happened
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 16: and now they're, you know, a mega hub and cargo
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 16: and they've got some of the cheapest fairs now in
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 16: the country. How did they do it? And it comes
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 16: back to the low cost carriers on the commercial side
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 16: of things, and we are the envy of the world.
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 16: The Wall Street Journal a couple of years ago did
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 16: a great article on the turnaround at CBG, and I'm
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 16: sworn to secrecy because there's a lot of names I'd
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 16: like to drop here, people that are responsible for that
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 16: at the airport, and I'm forbidden to do so. But
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 16: they're working NonStop to do a great job. And that's
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 16: why I love seeing the community support the low cost carriers.
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 16: Or when we get a British Airways or a new
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 16: international carrier that comes in, there's immediate support there as well.
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 16: Delta or American adds more flights, bigger airplanes, there's an
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 16: immediate response to that as well. So, man, this market's
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 16: just doing a great, great job, and I just wanted
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 16: to continue.
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 1: Never thought i'd hear those words. Wasn't that long ago?
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 1: Never would anybody even predict that possibility.
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 16: Keep low cost carriers came here to die? That was
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 16: it in Frontier. Well, look hats off to them. They
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 16: led the way. They had one flight to day to Denver.
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 16: That they did that for seven years. They came to Cincinnati,
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 16: people said you got to be nuts. And then here
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 16: comes Allegiant. Then here comes Southwest moving the Daton operation,
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 16: and boom it went from there with so many other carriers,
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 16: and yeah, you can go around trip to Florida for
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 16: a hundred hundred bucks. Can't do that without low cost carriers.
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 16: And thank you for that.
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 1: Let's pause, bring j back and he'll tell you why
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't wash your hands while on a flight in
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 1: the lavatory eight forty seven, Right now, if you have
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 1: KERSD Talk Station fifty five the talk Dee if if
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 1: you have KERCD talks dation Brian Thomas that I heard
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 1: media aviation expert Jay Ratliff moving through the topics this morning.
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 1: I think we'll have time to get to American airlines
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 1: doing using artificial intelligence for the benefit of its customers.
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 1: But I got to ask you about this recent study
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 1: that apparently was done warning passengers to never wash their
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 1: hands during a flight using the laboratory. Is this like
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 1: the coffee, like, don't drink the coffee on the airplane.
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 16: Yes, sir, I knew you would be all over that
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 16: because you're right. But yeah, this comes from the Center
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 16: for Food as Medicine and Longevity. It's a nonprofit organization
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 16: and they poured over three years of data and they
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 16: actually assigned airlines a grade. Now, if you are ever
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 16: at airplanes when they are working on the water lines
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 16: and you see the mechanic pull it and look at it,
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 16: you're like, oh my gosh, water coming, I mean it
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 16: is it's crudd It is just yes nice. So when
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 16: Sherry and I are on an airplane, it's no coffee.
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 16: If there's ice and it comes in bag dice that
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 16: comes in. That's fine, but no, I mean, and yes,
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 16: as far as washing your hands, you need to be
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 16: careful because this study came out and said, look, if
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 16: you're flying Delta Airlines, they were given a grade of
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 16: an A. Fact they in Frontier the only two airlines
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 16: that received and A from their water cleanliness side of things.
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 16: The last airlines a B. But then you sit down
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 16: to American Airlines and Jet Blue D and D they're
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 16: not doing well at all there. So they said that
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 16: there's instances of E. Coli bacteria in the water samples.
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 16: Two positive tests from E. Coli from Jet Blue. As
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 16: if the bathroom isn't a laboratory enough for germs. Now, yeah,
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 16: this end, and you know they ought to have a
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 16: hazmat sticker on the outside the door. I think that
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 16: would be the best way to describe. Never let your
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 16: kids ever, ever, ever go in there barefoot ever because
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 16: of just how bad that it is. And yeah, now
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 16: the water is such so it's again you and I've
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 16: talked about the water to be careful and not to
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 16: do the coffee and the other types of things. And
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 16: most people that fly a lot, and especially those that
• 2:08:59
  Speaker 16: have listen to us recognize that's not the thing to do.
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 16: So yeah, it's just another reminder here in apologies for
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 16: anybody that's, you know, trying to enjoy their breakfast or
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 16: coffee this morning. But look, you didn't get off an airplane,
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 16: so you should be happy.
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 1: No, but you know there's a whole bunch of people
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 1: out there who sort of I think enjoining the mile
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 1: high Club might be a good idea. Noe, you don't
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 1: want to be in there in that festering peatrie dish
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 1: of bacteria, gross.
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 16: Panes where they pull out the black light and they
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 16: shine and see everything.
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there, it's gonna be.
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 1: The same thing, Flord almighty. U. Yeah, like, well you asked,
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 1: like at Jackson Pollock painting Joseph's American Airlines using artificial
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 1: intelligence to actually benefit its customers. What's going on with
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 1: this one?
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 16: I love this. What they've done is a delta of course,
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 16: is using artificial intelligence for pricing fares, which is actually
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 16: working against us. Not a big fan of that. So
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 16: American Airlines said, now we're going to use artificial intelligent
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 16: a little bit different in our flight following flight management
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 16: process where we can actually plug all this in there,
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 16: and we're testing it in Dallas. So the flights are
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 16: running late. We can use our artificial intelligence software to
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 16: tell us how much we can delay a flight going
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 16: out of Dallas to accommodate people coming in late. So
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 16: they may see that a flight to New York, which
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 16: they are normally block, to block whatever time it might
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 16: happen to be. Maybe the airflow is not as crowded
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 16: as normal, maybe they've got good weather, maybe more of
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 16: a direct route. Artificial intelligence so tell them that flight
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 16: can lead ten to twelve minutes late and still arrive
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 16: on time.
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 5: Brian.
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 16: They're using this to try to better serve their customers,
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 16: and I cannot I can't wait till the next time
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 16: I want on our Dallas affiliate because I want to
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 16: want to brag on American they're in Dallas, because what
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 16: they're doing is trying this. It's working out very well. Obviously,
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 16: customers love it, and as a result, what's taking place
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 16: is they're thinking about using this across the country at
• 2:10:54
  Speaker 16: other hubs. Now you know, I've been on a Delta
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 16: flight where I rush to get from one gate to
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 16: the next with a bunch of people, where they let
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 16: the connecting flight leave ten minutes early and then look
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 16: at me like it's my fault. Here's American Airlines saying,
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 16: you know, we'd really like to put the customer first.
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 16: And I love it when they're doing that, and I
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 16: wish other carriers would have that mentality. But you know,
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 16: American used to be the flight leaves on time, regardless
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 16: of who has to die. Again, that's an overreach, but
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 16: that was it, and nothing ever left late, and airline
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 16: agents at the gate were held to extreme measures if
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 16: one of their flights left late, and American finally said,
• 2:11:29
  Speaker 16: you know what, yes, the late flights cost us money,
• 2:11:32
  Speaker 16: but there's a little wiggle room. So they relaxed it
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 16: and said, if it's the agent's call now, if they
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 16: need to let that flight leave a minute or two
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 16: late based on the customer's needs, then that's what we're
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 16: going to do. And it changed the entire mindset. The
• 2:11:47
  Speaker 16: agents love this, customers absolutely love it, and again, hass
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 16: off to American Airlines. It's an incredible story. We rarely
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 16: get to talk about increasing customer service when we talk
• 2:11:57
  Speaker 16: about airlines.
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 1: Good called, just real quick, any problem of their travel
• 2:12:01
  Speaker 1: out there.
• 2:12:01
  Speaker 16: Hubb Lice, Denver, Early Chicago late. Other than that, just
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 16: don't go to Des Moines. They're getting cream, but that's
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 16: not a hub, so we don't care.
