• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Some sen.
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: Vation, and that's the way the news goes Yes, indeed,
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: that's the way the gas prices go up through the
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: roof five five dollars gasoline.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Some people are paying it. If you fill with premium,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: it's five point fifty I think right now. I check
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: gas Buddy in a variety of different zip codes in
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the area, So that's kind of what you're looking at. Anyway,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: that's the price you pay for the closure of the
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: straight of Horn moves. We're going to figure out what's
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: going on with that. We'll give you that just a
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: couple of minutes. I love hearing from you. You've got
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: somebody you want to talk about. Feel free to give
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: you a call. My name is Brian Thomas. I am
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: host of the fifty five KRC Morning Show. Couldn't do
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: the job without the executive producer. Right there he is
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Joe Trackers on the television screen, Joe Jrekker, thank you
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: for lining up seven oh five. Congressman Warren Davidson, stick
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: around for that. Looks like they might have a budget
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: agreement under reconciliation. Moving forward, they are one step closer
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: to renewing FAIZA section seven oh two. Talked about that
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: yesterday with Judge Editor Politano and briefly a parenthetical reference
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: to section seven out two in connection with the broader
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: implications of well technology as it relates to search warrants,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: a GEO fencing, and an interesting oral arguments at the
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Supreme Court the other day. I found that case fascinating
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: and I'm with the judge on his conclusions on that one.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: So you can check that out on a fifty five krs
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: dot com and you can't listen live. That's where you
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: find your podcast. Jack Athnon was on yesterday, always brilliant
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and informative. You can get that podcast as well. Quite
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the entertaining guy he is and brilliant. Charles Tassel is
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: going to be in studio, the Ohio Director of Rural Development.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I got a bunch of articles about all the fraud
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: wasted of use in government. Not sure that Charles is
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: going to necessarily going to be talking about that, but wow,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: look at all the different funding opportunities you have for infrastructure.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Huh A Community facilities guaranteed loan program and electric infrastructure
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: load and guaranteed program, water and Waste Disposal Loaning Grant Program,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Water Waste Disposal Loan Guarantees, Competitive Affordable Housing Program, Business
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: and Industry Guaranteed Loan. These are all individual programs that
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: allow applicants to apply for, yes, grants of federal money
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: and loans. I suppose at some diskinnd of rate that
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: have to be paid back. That's why Charles's gonna let
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: us know all about him. But the list just goes
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: on and on and on. Just wonder how we ever
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: survived in a world where the government didn't fund, to
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: subsidize or otherwise supplement every damn thing in the world anyway,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: plus opportunities for fraud, waste, and abuse in every government
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: program too. So maybe Charles can address that. I don't.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna pick on him. He didn't create these things.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: He's just the director of rural development here at Aisle. Anyway,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: he'll be in studio to talk about that. I sit
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: and look at him. We'll talk together and learn. Brian
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Ibold the help Squad. Love what the help Squad does.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Brian Ibold solve the need on the West Side for
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: some well folks that need a lifeline. I mean, if
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: you can't get your car repaired, for example, you can't
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: go to work, you end up in a very bad situation.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: You end up on public assistance for want of a
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: minor car repair for example. Well, you know, the Help
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Squad is there to help folks in need. Maybe you
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: need a few hundred dollars to get over that rent
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: payment you can't make. They do a wonderful job at
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: vetting and it is a West Side focused charitable organization.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Brian Ibel returns to talk about the Sinco de Mayo
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: fundraiser to Sport, the Help Squad and all the great
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: work that they do. Good guy, Brian retired police officer. Plus,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: it's Friday Eve. So I heard media aviation expert Jay
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Rattloff Will joined the show at eight thirty. You got
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: a lot to talk about, including a airplane colliding with
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: a drone. Yes, jet airliner collide with a drone. It
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: was a real matter of fact conversation. I listened to
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: it and I'm like, oh my god, the future is here.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: We had to worry about drones now colliding with aircraft. Yeah,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: you do. That's one of the things we talk about.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Talk with you if you like five, one, three, seven, four, nine,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three talk pound
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: five fifty on AT and T phones Keith Faber yesterday
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: he'd liked your vote for Ohio Attorney General. I was
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: also mentioned to Paulitano. They had conversations on the blog
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: page fifty five KRC dot com Don O'Neil for Americans
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: for Prosperity about the primary voting. It's primary day next
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: week Tuesday, Get out and vote. It's remind folks who
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: might not be inclined to vote how the important it
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: is to vote. But also that you have a school
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: levey most likely that you'll be voting on as well.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I'm not telling you which direction to vote on the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: school levees. I'm just saying they're there and it will
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: directly implicate or directly impact your budgeting, your home bottom line.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Maybe a few hundred bucks a year, maybe five hundred
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: one thousand, who knows. It depends on what school levey
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: is being proposed in your area. So that's all there
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: fifty five KRC dot com, including of course the big
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: picture with Jack at an appointment listening that so what
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: do we all think about the war situation? So keeping
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the b background this Harvard Harris Pole came out, and yes,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I know how people feel about poles. But if you
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: if the folks were asked the questions in the poll
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: with the thought in mind up front, five dollars a
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: gallon for gasoline, right, so you put that in their
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: mind ahead of time, five dollars a gallon gasoline, which
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: we can directly attribute to the closure of the Straight
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: of Horror moves. There doesn't seem to be anything else
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: going on in the world that would result in five
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: dollars gasoline. So at twenty percent of the world's energy
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: going in and out of that particular straight to shut down,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: this is a ripple efflect globally. It's five dollars a
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: galln gasoline reality, right, not quite there yet, but we're close.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: So if you have people think about that first and
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: then start asking the questions, I'm just wonder if the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: outcome of being any different, because a lot of people
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: are really supportive of the war situation. Not that I
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: can argue against necessarily the ultimate goal and the fact
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: that the world will be a better place without the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Iranian current Iranian government, but anyway, seventy four percent of
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: voters said the United States is currently winning beating Iran.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Fifty four percent believe we have the advantage in negotiations.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: There's a reason for that, because the Iranian economy has
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: gone into the toilet and people are almost on the
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: point of starvation. But moving over court of the poll.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: This was a poll conducted the April twenty third to
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: twenty six, so fairly recent. It doesn't say margin of error,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: which is always a critical thing.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: So just.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I guess it's a few points margin of error anyway,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: but close enough. I mean, the numbers are strong enough
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: to suggest that the margin of error wouldn't be implicated.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Let us see here the twenty seven hundred plus registered voters.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Fifty two percent of respondent support US military air strikes
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: in Iran, fifty four percent that strikes say that strikes
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: were justified. Seventy eight percent of voters believed Trump was
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: right to agree to a temporary ceasefire with Iran to
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: obviously for the purpose of negotiation. At the same time,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: fifty seven percent approve of the administration's decision to impote
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: a blockade on ships heading to Iran. Well, that's where
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: our leverage comes from. Also suggests strong public backing for
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: continued pressure if Iran refuses to abandon its nuclear ambitions. Notably,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: sixty three percent of voters say the US should maintain
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: its blockade. Seventy four percent agree that America's interest to
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon good plus. This
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: is bipartisan agreement, according to the Harvard Harris poll. Folks,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: this is not a party line affiliated decision or responses
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: that says suggested by partis of agreement on the importance
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: of stopping Iran's nuclear program. In other words, well, why
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the hell else are we there other than to stop
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the Irani nuclear program. That's the eminent threat that we
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: were facing. Voters express support for comprehensive framework. For example,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: large majorities endorse key conditions. Seventy nine percent say Iran
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: must stop supporting proxy groups like Hesbal and Hamas, in
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: other words, no more terrorist support. Well, you can put
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: it in an agreement and they can agree to it,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: but sometimes they refuse to well follow through the terms
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: of the agreement, like the old the nuclear Enrichment agreement
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: that Ron was a signatory to that they well violated.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: So anyway, that'll be down the road, we'll determine whether
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: or not if we get that concession in some future,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: hopefully keep your fingers crossed resolution of the conflict. Iran
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: will agree that they will no longer fund terrorists. A
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: bit of a pie in the sky ask but you
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: got to ask for it. That's what people are saying. Hey,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: all major conditions in negotiations, Trump should insist on all
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: of them. That's a sixty six percent favorable. So when asked,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: you know what should he hold out for, sixty six
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: percent of the people asked, everything, no nuclear program, no
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: funding of terrorists, et cetera. Ed here talk about pine
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: and the sky. Hope On the international front, another sixty
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: six percent number, sixty six percent support the creation of
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: a multinational naval force to ensure free movement of ships
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: through the Strait of hormones. Oh yeah, lie awake at night,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the dreaming of fly awake, dreaming gas of the day
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: when you have a multinational force, it's actually working together, cooperatively.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Where would all these multinational ships come from? Does France
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: have a navy joe anymore?
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Anyway?
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Just the thought. So, But as I was looking at
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: the local news on this five dollars per gawn and
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: anticipated gas price at least gas gas buddies. Patrick Dehan said, yeah,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: well you were looking at five dollars. Can you suffer
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: through this? It wasn't that long ago twenty twenty two
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: when we were paying that much money for gas that
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: was COVID related. Of course y'all figured that would go
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: away at some point. Obviously it did. Price a guess,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: went way, way, way down, and now we're dealing with
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: a bump and an increase. Is the pain we are
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: currently feeling individually and in our personal budgets. Is that
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: pain temporary? It will be There is no question in
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: my mind that you're not going to this five dollars
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: phenomenon is going to go away at some point. This
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: is going to be resolved in some fashion. So you're
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: gonna have to deal with it for a while. Can
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: you manage it for a while to accomplish is it
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: worth your bottom line impact the pain that you're feeling
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: to bring about a world that doesn't have to deal
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: with the Iranian theocracy, a world where the Iranian people
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: can flourish, presumably in some sort of conceptually anyway free society,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: where they aren't thrown off buildings for their sexual preference,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: where they aren't rounded up and gunned down for the
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: political ideology. It may be a small price to ultimately
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: pay if the outcome is as good as it could
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: be or can be, can if we hold out question,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: who's going to win that battle of attrition? Five sixteen
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Right now fifty five k see de talk station, don't
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: go away. Plenty more to coming up finding great Kennedy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: It is Friday, even a very happy one to you.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Five one three seven two three talkoun in fact fifty
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: on eight and T phones and let's see what Bill's
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: got to say this morning. Bill, thanks for calling. Happy Friday,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Eve you.
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: Sir, Hey, thanks Brian for taking my call. I got
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: two points and maybe you can help me out on it.
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: As Okay, we're we're winning over there in Iran, Okay,
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: Vercella's we're winning. We're But why are they still in charge?
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: They about what's you called hamak amoose through there?
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: Well you have why are they still in charge?
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: You're confusing me. You mentioned Moss was a terrorist organization?
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Are you talking about the Iranian regime? Are you talking
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: about terrorist groups?
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: There's you know, there are the Iranians where they're still
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: in charge of where all the boats go through, all
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: the oil goes through.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Well, again, I'm struggling with what in charge means in
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the context of what you're saying. They're not there. They
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: remain in power to a certain degree. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Well,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: that's my question, Brian, they control, they control Iran. We
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: have not defeated the wiped out the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: That is a boots on the ground operation. So that's why.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: Okay, Well, that's what I'm asking, And why are we waiting?
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: Just let's overwhelm and take these people overwhelmed this.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Well, why don't okay, okay, okay, here here, here, let
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: me just we'll do a Socratic Socratic method conversation on
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: this one. Why don't you ask the Russians why they
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: haven't just run over and defeed Ukraine. Russia massive military
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: might compared to the Ukrainian military, which is basically decimated,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: massive superiority in terms of weaponry. Why haven't the Russians
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: overwhelmingly larger operation than the Iranian or than the Ukraine's.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: It's the same thing. You can have all the muscle
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: might in the world, but if you've got a tenacious foe,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: like for example, Castro in the mountains of Cuba fighting
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: against the Batista army with tanks and everything else. You win.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: How is it that the Russians spent a decade in
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Afghanistan and lost? How is it the United States spent
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: almost twenty years in Afghanistan and left well pulled the
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: plug out. Like Vietnam. It's a hell of a lot
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: more of a challenge than people really give it a
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: credit for. That's why I like, you know, say what
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: you want about Daniel Davis, and I know he's not
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: a fan of this whole situation, but at least he's
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: a realist. Yes, we have overwhelming military might, but we're
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: not going to start dropping nuclear weapons on the Iranians.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: If you want to win right away, do you want
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: to declare immediate total victory, then drop a couple of
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: nukes on a country You're gonna try to just to
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: that and justify that on a global level, Well, screw
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: the rest of the world. You have to kill them
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: all on God's led, God's sort them out, crew might say,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: but there are much broader repercussions and implications anyone could
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: ever imagine if you start chucking nukes at them, would
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: it work. Yes, you'd win immediately that day. Something tells
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: me you might draw international iyre and people might decide
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: that they don't want to buy our bonds anymore and
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: support our fake economy and help us prop up forty
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: trillion dollars in debt. There's a ripple effect. You might
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: want to consider frustration. I could hear it in your voice, man,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: and I understand the frustration. But it's like my frustration.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Why in the hell is the straight upform moose still close?
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: How is it that America's overwhelming military might can't get
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: a fifteen twenty wide miles calculated on your own your
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: square miles. It's a narrow strip of water relative to
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: the size of water bodies in the around the globe. Yeah,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: with all the trillions and trillions of dollars of military
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: hardware and military might, and an upcoming budget of one
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: point five trillion dollars through the American military, we can't
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: open up that small strip, let alone wipe out the
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Iranian Revolutionary Guard. It's an amazing reality, isn't it. You
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: gotta suck it up and deal with it. But it's
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: just reality. Well, that's why I go back to the
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: whole battle of bit war attrition. Who's going to win that?
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: That is an effective strategy. The Iranians can't trade, basically,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: they can't sell anything. They're the ones that well, I guess,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: cut their own throats by relying ninety percent of the
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: economy through this strait of horror moves. They're feeling it
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: worse than anybody else on the planet. Five dollars gasoline,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I suppose in terms of the run inflation that the
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Iranians are dealing with, they give their iteth for basically
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: what would translate the five dollar gallon gasoline? So who's
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: gonna win that. You don't have to drop a nuke.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: You can just sit back, tap your toes and wait
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: for them to basically starve to death. Some are hoping
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: that that gets the Iranian people out in the streets
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: to overthrow their own government. That could certainly happen, And
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I suppose in the final analysis, that beats. It's gonna
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: take a lot longer, and it beats the hell and
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: a drop in nuclear weapons on them or whatever, boots
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: on the ground, and the loss of American life. Yeah,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: that's another very consequential reality too. Your thoughts and comments
• 16:37

• 16:50
  Speaker 1: and T phone. So let's start with looks like Thomas First,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: New Hampshire, Gary. Hang on, Tom, Welcome to the show.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Happy Thursday to you.
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: Hey, good morning. Yeah, I was leaving yesterday leaving work
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: in the first gas station I passed is four seventy nine,
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: and I'm like, holy crap, yep, it was what ten
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: hours earlier it was four nineteen or whatever. And then
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: then I passed another one that it was down still
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: for nineteen and well I saw four ninety nine yesterday,
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: but I found those three gas stations that I go
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: to in that one particular intersection, they're all down three
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: eighty nine.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Well, I was hoping to be able to get cheap
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: stay the hell away from that marathon on Camargo Road
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: because it's always a buck more than any place else.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: And you know, I pulled up gas Buddy for the
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: purposes of seeing what that one was because there's a
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: BP in the same zip code at five dollars a gallon.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: That was that was posted eight hours ago. But the
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: marathon doesn't have a price showed. It just says three
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: little dashes there, So they're trying to fly toeath the radar.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: But if I had to guess, I'd say it's probably
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: six bucks at that marathon on cart Margo Road. They
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: know who they are.
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah, And I got off an exit to uh get
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: something to eat, and I'm seeing there's this Shell station
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: that had jumped up to four eighty nine or whatever.
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: And then you can look on the other side of
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: the street at one hundred yards down the road and
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: the gas station had not jumped up. It was still
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: like four sixteen or something. And the amazing part was
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: there's people at Shell pumping gas.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, are kidding me? Hey, The amazing thing for me
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: is that marathon and Camargo is in business still.
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah, Well that's your that's your favorite gas station
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: to pick on it.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: They deserve it. I mean, okay, listen, they can price
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: gasoline however the hell they want. And people, I guess
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: are dumb enough to have their tank filled up there
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: when they can drive less than a mile and save
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: a bucket gallon anyway anything else, Tom today, the.
• 18:49
  Speaker 7: People, the people that pull up to those gas pumps,
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: it's all on them. It's their fault. It's right, Uh yeah,
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: we we I hear Bill's frustration. But we have to
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: constantly remind ourselves what what is the purpose of doing this?
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: And you know, what is the outcome? What what what's
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: the what's the fallback if we do this do that?
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: That's like you said, it's very complicated. It is not
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: just some easy push a button.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: And the problems over well afghaniderstanding Vietnam. I mean, how
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: many wars that, Oh my god, the mighty American people
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: cannot be understated.
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: Bro.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: And then you're there and then you pull out and
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: pull the plug out.
• 19:25
  Speaker 9: You didn't win.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: What price are you willing to pay? How many? I
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: mean going back to something else that needs to be
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: stated over and over and over again. Pull out Google
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: maps and see how big Iran is. It's two point
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: four or five times the size of Texas. It's mountainous
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: and there are you know, it's it ain't easy.
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: And the hardest part to deal with is they don't
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: think like we do. It's a totally different, especially the leadership.
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: It's a totally different frame of mind over there. Yeah,
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: that's what you're up against. That's why the are not
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: giving in, because they believe it that way, and that's.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: That's what them.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Let's say. If for them it's a religious war, you
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: gotta factor in the religion part. Much like you know,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: the Ukrainians are fighting for their lives over their territory.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: If they don't fight, Russians will take it over and
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: it won't be Ukrainian territory anymore, to be Russian territory.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: And I guess they have some connection with the land
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: there and they're fighting to protect their land. This with religion,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: it's even more profound. This is their connection with God. Now,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: if someone if you're a lex say a Christian, if
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: someone says, Okay, we're gonna come into your neighborhood, we're
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: gonna take your religion away from you, don't you think
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: you might want to fight against that. I mean, this
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: is your connection with God. This is your eternal salvation,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: not just a chunk of land you're fighting over. So
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's a much greater, more complex reality when
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: you appreciate what people are actually fighting for right.
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we got a leadership group in there right now
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: is who has the resolve to do something about it,
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: and we've got to just hang in there because it
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: is it is necessary to do this. We have to
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: get rid of the nuclear ability of an organ of
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: an administration that that looks at America and just wants
• 21:19
  Speaker 7: to wipe us off from that. No, we can't let
• 21:21
  Speaker 7: them have that.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Ability, right, which means there you go, thank you, Tom
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: got to hit the catchphrase.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: But the.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Warfare strategy right now is one where we don't have
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: boots on the ground. We do have a lot of missiles.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: We can continue to bomb things. We can bomb their infrastructure,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: which we haven't done yet. We can bomb their oil
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: fields and all that. We're trying to take a more
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: nuanced approach to it.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: This again, battle lectrician is going to be a question
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: of who says uncle first. And we could go on
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: for a few months, maybe longer with this status quo
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: while the Iranian people basically shrivel up and starve to death.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: It might take some time, but you won't have to
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: sacrifice America and lives to accomplish the goal. You won't
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: have to be ten years or twenty years in country
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: trying to ferret out terrorists living in caves, which would
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: be very expensive and very costly in terms of the
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: loss of human life, most notably the American military lives.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: So anyway, new amster, Gary, welcome to the show. Thanks
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: for holding there for a minute.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Buddy.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Good to hear from you.
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: Hey, Brian, how are you doing. Hey, I'm really in
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: favor of this, you know, doing something to ensure that
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: Iran doesn't have a new I think the strategy now
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: is that the we're waiting for all the tanks to
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: fill up so that the wells go sour, and once
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: the wells go sour, they'll shut down. I was a
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: well drilling I was in a well drilling unit for
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: almost seventeen years for the US military, so I know
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: a little bit about hydrology. But I think people are
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: forgetting one thing. This is the Middle East. We're dealing
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: with different people. They're thinking once the tanks are full
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: that they'll shut these wells down. I got news for you.
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: The way they think in the Middle East, they'll just
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: pump it out in the desert.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: I burn it off. I keep those open.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: That's right. And this and that that that tapping out,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: that that topping off of the storage facilities, which some
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: say we're only a couple of weeks away from when
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: they're facing that and the oil's going. Oil wells get
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: shut down. Some say it's a little longer. That's part
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: of that war of attrition. What will they ultimately do?
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: And I'm glad you brought that.
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: Point out that people are thinking like they do out
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: in the Middle East. They'll dump it, they'll dump it
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: the Gulf, they'll burn it off, they'll keep those wells open,
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: and the idea is just to wait until November and
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: keep the pain going at the at the at the pump.
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: At the pump, they know what they're doing.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: They pay attention to American politics, Garry. And that is
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: an interesting way you put that, because pivoting over. If
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: they are indeed waiting for November and they expected Democrats
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: to take over, then what what is that? What say
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: about the Democrats that they're not willing to fight against
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: the Iranian threat that they want us to have. He
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: can't hear me. Did he wants that that the Democrats
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: want the Iranians to be able to have the ability
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: to get a nuclear weapon, that the Democrats are willing
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: to sacrifice our security because well, it flies in the
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: face of what evil Orange Man wants. That is the
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: ultimate Trump arrangement syndrome. Isn't it putting the world at
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: risk of an Iranian nuclear weapon just because Donald Trump
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: doesn't want them to have one?
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: They talk station.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: By forty two fifty five Krcity talk station five one
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: three seven four nine fifty five hundred eight out of
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: eight two three talk nine five fifty on eighteen TI phone.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Stack of Stupid didn't even get to one yesterday. Joe
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: on the end of the show, could you please keep
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: the stack of stupid for tomorrow since you didn't do
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: any absolutely and I added a couple to it. Uh,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: let's see here a couple of politicians making it to
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: the stack of stupid. We got to Indiana where a
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Democratic state ten it arrested by police after apparently being
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: unable to keep his nose clean. This would be Fisher's
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: police department got a call April twenty sixth man soliciting
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: in the neighborhood Ravens would Trouse, specifically, about eight pm.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Police officers showed up found thirty nine year old Andrew
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Desilan in his vehicle at the neighborhood's clubhouse. Officers asking
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: him why he was in the neighborhood, he could not
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: provide a clear answer. He did say though he received
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: permission from the homeowners association. He posted multiple time to
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: a social media account that he would be canvassing the
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: neighborhood as part of his effort to get elected. Densen
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: speaking rapidly, making very quick, nervous and unorganized movements, according
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: to the records. Moreover, he was sweating and his pupils
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: were quote unquote pinpoint drugs. Court documents note that these
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: are in fact signs that someone's under the influence. After
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: responding to an officer requested ID from this guy, he
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: claimed that he needed to leave and slam his vehicle
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: in reverse. Court documents say the responding officer told him
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: to stop and get out, and then the officer reopened
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: the door grabbed his left wrist. Desolon continued frantically moving around,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: placing one leg out of the vehicle like he was
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: going to get out, before putting it back inside the vehicle.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Responding officer ultimately pulled him out and put him in handcuffs.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: He resisted being putting in putting put in handcuffs several
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: times before finally combined searched his vehicle where they found
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: a small bag of cocaine. Arrested charge of possession of
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: the truck and resisting law enforcement officers. Anyway, apparently this
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: guy who was running for office had similar pending cocaine
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: charges in Wisconsin as well as two more pending charges
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: in that state for allegedly operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Bail ten thousand dollars which he posted the same day
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: campaigning for state Senate elections have consequences. Then we go
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: to Virginia. We have a recently elected mayor of a
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: small town in Virginia arrested after showing up to a
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: train derailment site while intoxicated. Paul Morrison, fifty seven year
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: old mayor of a little town called Rich Creek, taking
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: it to custody on public intoxication charges. This after a
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: train derailed in the afternoon near Ridge Creek and he
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: felt it necessary to show up. Contaminants of soybean oil
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: apportedly leaked, although they say no environmental threat, Well, you know,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: is that better? Is it better to show up drunk
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: and at least show up or be like aft have
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: purvol and never show up to literally anything sober or not.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Something to consider. At least he's taking his job somewhat seriously.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: More stupid coming up. Oh look a snake snake ify
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: a fifty five caroson. He talks right, AE, have a
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: happy one. Let's see here, back over to the stack
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: of stupid. Okay. Bavarian State Police and Germany released the
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: details of something that happened in Egypt for a German
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: tourist tourists who passed away while on vacation there a
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: court of the officials during a snake charmer's performance, one
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: of the snakes, one of the snakes crawled into the
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: trousers of a fifty seven year old man, resulting in
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: a bite to the German tourist's leg. That's released victim
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: on vacation with family members in a certain region of Germany,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: which well, oh, from a certain region in Germany. It's
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: immaterial where he came from, other than it was a
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: German citizen anyway. While in Egypt, already say the snake
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: charmer event part of a hotel entertainment program in a
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: resort city called herk Hatta, described as a popular red
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: sea destination. Anyway, two snakes were believed to be used
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: in the performance. Cobra's is what. They were identified as
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: highly venomous for those not in the know. Investigators suggested
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: it isn't uncommon for performers to allow snakes to interact
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: closely with audience members. Some snakes reportedly placed around guests
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: next during the act, phrasing, Joe, something tells me that
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: their system of justice over there probably different in so
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: far as torts and liability are concerned. If you put
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: a live, venomous cobra around someone's neck here as a
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: form of entertainment, trust me, if they bite someone, you're
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: gonna get your butt sued off. Anyway, during one of
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: the segments of the performance, the snake reportedly bit the
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: German tourists after crawling into his clothing, specifically his pants phrasing.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Fischal has said he subsequently exhibited clear symptoms of poisoning,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: required resuscitation, and died after arriving at the local hospital.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Toxicology report still pending. Let us see first ever headline.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna stick with the headline first ever sperm

  Speaker 1: onto the property after the shooting and then and that's
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: when asked whether he called for an ambulance, Morgan replied,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: she's fine. Also told police that Morgan threatened to shoot

  Speaker 1: this young lady. You might want to get in touch
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: with authorities. Time and time again. Man, a week doesn't

• 34:35
  Speaker 1: way you can. And Jay Ratliffe I heard media Aviation
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: expert coming up at eight thirty, as is the case
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: every Thursday five one three seven, eight hundred eight two
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: three top pound five fifty on at and T phones.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: I appreciate the comment from was it Hampshire Gary Butt? Well,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: what are these Irdians going to do? Because we're we're
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: as they pointed out, you know, we all know we're
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: in this battle of attritions, straight of our moves closed
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: by the Iranians. Ports are closed, the Iranian ports closed
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: by the United States military. Stalemate of sorts. So who's
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: gonna say uncle first? I'd like to think of be
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: the Iranian people or the American people if we continue
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: to go through November. And this was one of the
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: comments that was made. You know, you got the November elections,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: and yes, the Iranians are paying attention to that. Republicans
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: are concerned. A lot of people don't like five dollars gasoline.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Is I asked this sort of rhetorical question, is it
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: worth the pain of five dollars gasoline for a while,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: which will go down if we get the ultimate reward,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: which is no nuke Iran de side amongst yourselves. But
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: many pundits are saying this five dollars gasoline and the
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: inflationary realities that we're all facing for a variety of reasons,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: most notably the printing press running out of control. During COVID,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump promised to lower the inflation rate. I don't
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: know if he has a magic wand, but I thought
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: it was a little interesting that some singular person in
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: the world could actually claim the ability to lower the
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: inflation rate, and most notably quickly, which is what with
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: our short attention immediate demand mentality these days doesn't ever happen.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: Got to wait for it. So they are having a
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: real problem in ther in Iran. The impacts on this
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: has been profound. Cost of living has gone through the roof,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: inflation sixty seven percent up in the month through mid
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: April for the saint from the same period of the
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: year prior sixty seven percent. Their currency is out of control,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: hit a record low yesterday. What's a real worth? One
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: point eight million reals will get you a dollar? I
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: read the price of red meat three sixty a pounds.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: You're like, well, what a minute, Where do I get
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: three sixty pound red meat? Well, if you live in
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: a country where the current minimum wage for the month
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: is one hundred and thirty dollars, you may not be
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: able to afford three dollars and sixty cents. Any Iranian
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: government is trying to supplement or at at least give
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: the appearance that they're doing something by price fixing, issuing
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: additional currency, raising the minimum wage, which of course causes
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: the inflation rate to go up. You can't print yourself
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: into prosperity. What is someone to get the message on
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: that businesses are shutting down across the country lack of
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: steel raw materials. They're asking for voluntary and also imposing
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: involuntary restrictions on the use of certain things post war reconstruction.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: They've already claimed that there's a cost of two hundred
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: and seventy billion dollars based upon the current damage done
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: to the Iranian hardware or infrastructure. Their gross domestic product
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: for the entire calendar year was three hundred and forty
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: one billion, so they basically have to rebuild their entire country,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: which would cost basically every dime in their gross domestic
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: product if they went back to doing business as normal.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: They used to export about two million barrels of oil
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: every single day, roughly about two hundred million dollars a day.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: And while there is some evidence and there was another
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: article about the Iranians sneaking oil out using rocky ships
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: they were trying to get around the blockade, not greatly successful.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: So clearly they're not getting a big boost of income
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: on a daily basis like they used to. So their
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: economy is shrinking and spiraling out of control. So consumption
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: of water, electricity, and gas has been limited. Protectionist measures
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: in place to deal with this reality. And I thought
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: out loud just because I saw the statistic the other day.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: If you can get a chance to listen to A. W. R.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Hawkins from Breitbart, he was on earlier this week to
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: talk about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. He's the
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: firearms expert, and I saw that he had written another
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: article on Breitbart the other day about the Pew Research
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: article that came out, and I was amazed at the
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: statistics they revealed. As a pro Second Amendment, guy, I
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: am constitutional right there. It is our founding fathers appreciated
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: the need for the Second Amendment, because the Second Amendment
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: is a fundamentally what helped us free ourselves from the
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: change and bondage imposed by the King. Right, we fought
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: off a king handful of patriots, fought off a huge army.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Going back to a caller in the Last Star, why
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: don't we just wipe out the Iranians? I understand the sentiment,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: but it's a lot more difficult than it seems. See Vietnam,
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: see Afghanistan, go on and on and on and on.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Look at Russia versus Ukraine, massive military mite versus tenacious people.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: It is a difficult challenge. And then look at the
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: geographic region. You'd be talking about two point four or
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: five times the size of Texas. It is a huge challenge.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: So we're stuck with this, at least right now as
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: a military strategy, not sending boots on the ground and
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: trying to eradicate the Iranian guard. But we're just going
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: to sort of tap our toe and wait it out
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: and see who blinks first. But over the Pew Research
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Center article that AWR relied on in terms of well
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: death by firearms, remember in the back of your mind,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: with all the economic and pain, all the pain that
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: people are feeling, the Iranian people, well, you know there's
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of them that don't like the current government
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: that they're under, the theocracy, a theocracy that will murder
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: its own people. Thirty thousand or so murdered in the
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: streets because they were merely protesting. Do you think the
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: dynamic would be different if the Iranian people were armed.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: They don't have the option that we would if our
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: government became oppressive like our founding fathers faced. Let that
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: question swirl around your mind, and then consider here in
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: the United States that every single time somebody is killed
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: with a firearm, of the left screams about taking away
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: our constitutional rights, taking away your ability to defend yourself
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: because some people get shot, and the total number of
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: people who get shot on an annual basis four hundred
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: or forty and forty seven people died from gun related
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: injuries that would be gun homicides, gun suicides, law enforcement
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: involved gun use, accidental be accidentally being died with a
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: with a firearm, and those and deaths by firearms and
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: undetermined circumstances. The data was collected by Pew from reliable
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: sources Center for Disease Control and Prevention FBI Crime Data,
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: National statistics from the Global Burden of Disease Databased, which
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: is published published by the Institute of Health Metrics and
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: Evaluation the University of Wisconser Washington. You got legitimate figures here.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: The numbers of deaths don't lie. Look, it's a death
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: from a firearm, and then they determine whether it was accidental, negligent,
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: et cetera. So the figures exclude deaths which gunshot injuries
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: played a contributing but not principal role. Think of COVID.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: Someone dies in a motor cycle action due to motorcycle,
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: had the injuries from trauma, but they had COVID. Back
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: in COVID days, they would label that as a COVID
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: nineteen death. So you can take out deaths with gunshot
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: injuries where the person didn't die from the gunshot, so
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: that was taken out, So you got forty four thousand,
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: just under forty five thousand people annually. Not all of
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: them are in violent circumstances. In fact, suicides are a
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: majority of gun deaths. You're gonna take away a constitution
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: right because someone chooses the method of firearm to kill themselves,
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: as opposed to figure out all the other ways you
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: can kill yourself. Sixty two percent of gun related deaths
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: in the United States suicide, So twenty seven, five h
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: and ninety three people you can take out of the
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: larger number of homicide deaths. So therefore the number of
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: evil use of firearms that they left screams about using
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: as a justification to take away your right to defend
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: yourself fifteen thousand, three hundred and sixty four total homicide.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Only thirty five percent of gun desks involves the use
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: of violence from one person to another. How about that?
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: And then you look at population growth twelve point eight
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: gun deaths, that's all per one hundred thousand, below the
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: peak in nineteen seventy four, way below it was sixteen
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: point three back then. Gun homicide rate, that's where the
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: left screams about taking away your guns four point seven
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: per one hundred thousand people in twenty twenty four. The
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: last year for statistics, again far below the peak in
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventy four, is seven point two. See as you
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: whittle away and look at reality here you come up
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: with a very very small number of people who are
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: actually dyed as a consequence of a firearm. Handguns fifty
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: three percent. Why are they coming after quote unquote assault rifles? Rifles?
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: This is the figure that caught aw R. Hawkins eye
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: because they immediately want to ban your ar fifteen. Oh
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: my god, you can't have that. It's a weapon of war.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: Percent rifles. Three of all the homicide related deaths involving firearms,
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: three percent of rifles, shotguns, only one percent handguns eleven,
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: seven hundred and seventeen. So for that small number, and
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: if you want a basic comparison, firearm deaths of any
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: type aren't even in the top ten leading causes of
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: death according to the CDC, Number one heart disease at
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: six hundred and eighty three thousand plus people, all the
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: way down to that nasty, nasty reality that we all
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: face suicides at forty eight and twenty four. So, you know,
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: looking at the firearm death figure at forty four total thousand. Obviously,
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: people are choosing alternative means that commit suicide. If you
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: were struggling with suicidal ideation, please, Dear God, get in
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: touch with someone. Please talk with someone. My military veteran
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: friends out there. You've got appssolutely wonderful resources at the
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: VA to help you through troubled times, but can you
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: use this? And I know every death is a tragedy.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to understate the reality. Any person, singular
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: person getting shot by another person's violation of law, of course,
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: is a sad thing, but not so overwhelming as to
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: take away our constitutional rights. Chronic liver disease fifty fifty
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: two thousand plus people, thousand people a year, chronic liver disease, Joe,
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: if they asked to ban alcohol yet, No, you didn't
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: hear anybody screaming about getting rid of alcohol because fifty
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: three thousand roughly people die, A thousand people a year die. Yeah,
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: they did try that before we went a different direction,
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: didn't it. Yeah? I free remember that. Six eighteen right now,
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: fifty five karcity talk station, don't go away. Feel free
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: to call if you got some six twenty three fifty
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: five krcity Talk stations. Straight to the phones we go.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: I got a couple of callers on the line. We
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: start with Peter this morning. Peter, welcome to the show
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: and happy Friday eve to you. Thanks for calling.
• 46:04
  Speaker 8: Good morning sir. Hey to first this point, put a
• 46:08
  Speaker 8: name on your military tactic. We are practicing more of
• 46:11
  Speaker 8: a siege, surround and starve them. You don't throw your
• 46:15
  Speaker 8: best troops at the gate.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 46:17
  Speaker 8: The other point is that.
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: If the left wants to play the let's take all
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: their guns games, let's do would you rather agree to
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: no abortions?
• 46:30
  Speaker 10: Ever?
• 46:31
  Speaker 6: We can play this game with them as entertainment.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, or you know, how about this just to stick
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: with guns. Are you going to give up your private
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: security detail? Are you going to put your guns down?
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: We're going to deprive law enforcement of firearms as well,
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: because you know what, if there are guns out in
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: the world somewhere, someone will violate the law and acquire one.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: So we can't even have guns existing period we play.
• 46:57
  Speaker 8: Would you rather, hey, have a great day.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: Appreciate it, man. Thanks.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: More important, there's some abr part of that, you know,
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: not only the context of you know, wanting to you
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: go after or defend yourself against an evil oppressive government,
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: or free or change from an evil oppressive government, as
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: difficult as that challenge may be. Again, look at the geography.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: There are hundreds of thousands of firearms out in the
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: United States of America right now. Nobody's gonna go around
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: and collect them up, and most of them are owned
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: by law abiding citizens. So there you go. Your neighbors
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: have them, I have them. Wow. Meanwhile, we live in
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: a world where they've defunded police department. Officer continues down.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: We still don't have enough officers patrolling the streets of
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnati. Wait times have gone up significantly.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: When seconds matter, Yeah, it's gonna be minutes at least
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: before the cops show up. Wouldn't you like to be
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: able to defend yourself? And there's me again. Guy tried
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: to kill me on the expressway. Now, I'm not gonna
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: go through the details on that. This is several years ago.
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: I needed my firearm. That guy outsized me dramatically, six
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: eight inches taller than me, outweighed me by at least
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: one hundred pounds, and he tried to kill me with
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: his truck going up seventy one. Thank god I had
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: a firearm on me when I finally my car was
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: finally incapacitated on the side of the road with his
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: truck in the back of my car, and I got
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: to get out and deal with this guy. Yeah. No,
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: I want to keep mine, Thanks very much, even for
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: little things like that. Six twenty five right now, Jay
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: hang on by thirty fifty both kerc DE talks station
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: Happy Friday Eve. I was remissing my obligations, and I
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: really quite serious about this since I was referring to
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: the firearm related deaths, and a huge, huge tongue of them,
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: of course, involves suicide. That is not something that the
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: Left screams about, although I guess they do to a
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: certain degree. Glen, take guns away, because people commit suicide
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: with guns. Not all people commit suicide with a gun.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: The number of people committing suicide annually is just a tragedy.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: Here.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: Nine to eight eight. That's the suicide and crisis lifeline.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: That's what I failed to mention earlier when I was
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: in the context of suicide. So nine to eight eight
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: suicide and crisis lifeline. So if you are struggling, please,
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: Dear God, at least called nine.
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: To eight eight.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the phone to what Jay's got this morning. Jay,
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: Happy Friday Eve to you. Brother.
• 49:19
  Speaker 11: Hey, good morning, Brian. Hey, I'm calling with regards to
• 49:22
  Speaker 11: the Favor interview. I did happen to catch that on
• 49:25
  Speaker 11: the iHeart. Now, what a difference a couple of years
• 49:30
  Speaker 11: makes a and a election year. Last time you had
• 49:34
  Speaker 11: Favor on was a couple of years ago, and you
• 49:37
  Speaker 11: talked to him about this fraud medicaid fraud. You very
• 49:40
  Speaker 11: directly confronted it. At that time, he wouldn't even call
• 49:44
  Speaker 11: it fraud. He said it wasn't fraud, it was improper payments.
• 49:48
  Speaker 11: It was just the complex system across eighty eight counties.
• 49:52
  Speaker 11: The computers were outdated, and it wasn't that big of
• 49:55
  Speaker 11: a deal. Fast forward to election year. He sounded like
• 50:00
  Speaker 11: a fraudszar yesterday that he was going to roll up
• 50:03
  Speaker 11: his sleeves and he was going to go after it.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: And Jay, thankfully God. Don't you believe the difference in
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: the number of years between the two conversations may have
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: something to do with the political landscape and the fact
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: that we as American people are now so much more
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: aware because of these insane revelations like, for example from Minneapolis,
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: that fraud is a huge problem that wasn't on anybody's
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: radar to side to the significance that is now. I mean,
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: people are like, well, oh, I'm sure there's fraud out there,
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: but you know, we got difficulties and challenges. There's fraud
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: in every government program, but not epic fraud like we
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: found out. In fact, I was thinking about you this morning.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: I got a headline here federal government has made at
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: least one hundred and eighty six billion dollars in improper
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: payments in a single year that was countered your twenty
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: twenty five and it's helping human services, Medicare and Medicaid
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: right there at the top of the multiple agencies that
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: are well finding out that there's a whole bunch of
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: improper payments, improper payments that do include fraud and not
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: right theft is Jay, My point is they're doing something
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: about it now. Jd. Vancebiday has got people in gear.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: There's a new Medicaid fraud checkup that they're doing, forcing
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: the states now to comply with what the Obamacare bill
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: actually tells them that they have to do, which is
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: revalidate their medicaid providers to make sure that there aren't
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: fake providers out there, that they're all licensed and money
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: isn't going out to people who don't deserve the payments.
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: Another step in the right direction.
• 51:26
  Speaker 6: So I agree with.
• 51:29
  Speaker 10: All of that.
• 51:29
  Speaker 11: Other than it's amazing how behaviors changed during a campaign here,
• 51:33
  Speaker 11: how they knew all about this. They knew all about this, Brian.
• 51:36
  Speaker 11: They knew all about the fraud years ago. And if
• 51:40
  Speaker 11: AJHS can say we found one hundred and eighty six billion,
• 51:43
  Speaker 11: then they ought to know where it is, right, same
• 51:45
  Speaker 11: thing with if they knew Ohio was last place in
• 51:48
  Speaker 11: the country, so should the auditor should so should the
• 51:51
  Speaker 11: attorney general. And what was most telling yesterday is when
• 51:54
  Speaker 11: you asked about where's law enforcement? Can Dave jost Go
• 51:57
  Speaker 11: do anything favor all but admitted that some unelected bureaucrat
• 52:02
  Speaker 11: who was the head of Medicaid for Ohio appointed by
• 52:06
  Speaker 11: the wine was able to block law enforcement, was able
• 52:10
  Speaker 11: to block anything that Faber supposedly wanted to do. So
• 52:14
  Speaker 11: an unelected bureaucrat who's the head of medicaid appointed by
• 52:17
  Speaker 11: the governor UH was able to put those two boys
• 52:20
  Speaker 11: in the corner as opposed to the attorney general, who
• 52:23
  Speaker 11: I believe is supposed to work independently from the governor.
• 52:26
  Speaker 11: Subpoena the records. Get it, Roland, call the press, start
• 52:31
  Speaker 11: pressing charges and let's get the investigation going. But that's
• 52:34
  Speaker 11: not what he did. That's not what Yost did. They're
• 52:38
  Speaker 11: they're lihonos Man And the only reason that they're act
• 52:42
  Speaker 11: that he's acting tough is because his job's on the
• 52:45
  Speaker 11: line and he's a career politicians.
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you this. Since he's he's running
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: an opposed he's not being primary by a challenger, So
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: I assume.
• 52:53
  Speaker 11: He's running for governor. He's running for governor.
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: Keith Faber for iiO attorney general. That's the office he's
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: running for. Are you going to choose the Democrat as
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: the making out a better choice because you determined Keith
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: favors or Rhino.
• 53:09
  Speaker 11: No, of course not. The Central Committee has me over
• 53:12
  Speaker 11: a barrel again to where I'm going to have to
• 53:14
  Speaker 11: show up both my nose and pull the lever for
• 53:16
  Speaker 11: Keith's favor. And that's the point of the primaries, right,
• 53:20
  Speaker 11: But don't vote Rhino. This is a perfect setup that
• 53:24
  Speaker 11: they're going to run Keith Faber for governor and we
• 53:27
  Speaker 11: will have another.
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: Mill j Why why don't we cross that bridge if
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: and when we ever get to it. As of right now,
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: he is your only choice on the Republican side. Keith
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: Faber will be running against a Democrat in November where
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: the vote really counts him, who determines who's going to
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: be a g If you're if you quote unquote stuck,
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: I think you're much better in the hands of Keith
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: Faber than any Democrat because most Democrats kind of support
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: and embrace the concept of well welfare fraud. From what
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: I'm gathering, I'm gathering, Well.
• 53:57
  Speaker 5: You're right.
• 53:58
  Speaker 11: We have the choice of somebody that's going to do
• 53:59
  Speaker 11: noting about Frott based on his track record, or somebody
• 54:02
  Speaker 11: who's going to accelerate brought. That's always the choice that
• 54:06
  Speaker 11: we have in this country is we either choose the
• 54:08
  Speaker 11: Republicans who slowed down the slide to the left, or
• 54:11
  Speaker 11: we vote for the Liberals who will accelerate it.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: Well, why didn't you run for AGJA, Why aren't you
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: on the primary ticket running for ag No one's stopping
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: anyone from challenging Faber. Listen, I just you are always
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: so just automatically, purely negative. This is never gonna and
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: Keith Faber will never change. He'll never lift a finger
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: to do this, because his track record suggests that he
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: didn't before. I'm telling you maybe things have changed. That's
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: why I talked about the political landscape a moment ago.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: This has become the focus of so many people's attention.
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: Are you telling me that I worked for X number
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: of hours and you took out so much money in
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: my federal taxes and you gave it away to a
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: bunch of fraudsters and didn't lift a finger to stop it.
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: That pisses a lot of people off.
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: Jay.
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: It has elevated, that concept has gone national. People are
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: now looking at it going how can this be? So
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: maybe the landscape has changed. Maybe Keith Faber will make
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: this his absolute you know, a cause and go out
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: and find every bit of theft in the state of Ohio.
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: I'm not the same person I was twenty years ago.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: I change.
• 55:15
  Speaker 11: Well, I suppose Brian that anything's possible, right, But you
• 55:20
  Speaker 11: know what's the saying dates are precious. The guy has
• 55:24
  Speaker 11: four years and he was bragging about they got sixteen people.
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: That's one person I'm not arguing against that. The landscape
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: is this, you have favor or a Democrat. That's it.
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: That's the context of which I make my points. You
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: are going to have to hope and maybe with pressure
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: from you and every single human being of my listening
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: audience that lives and pays taxes, get in touch with
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: Keith Faber after he's elected, assuming he is, and ride
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: him like a circus pony and demand no I did.
• 55:53
  Speaker 11: I did for four years.
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: That was okay, Jay, you're missing my point about this. Actually,
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: more people than you are now paying attention, low information
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: voters have got this now in their field of vision,
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: and they're as upset as you are and have been
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: for years. So you've got company now that you never
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: used to have, thanks to well, primarily Minnesota, and I'm
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: glad at least that was well. It was our tax
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: payer dollars in Minnesota as well, which is a broader point,
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: but maybe things have changed. I'm gonna give it a hope.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: I am not gonna throw away the concept the key
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: favor will be a good ag again. He's your only
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: choice on the r side of the Ledger period. I
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: think you much stand a much better chance with him
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: and maybe some pressure will work, or maybe he won't
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: do a thing and then you won't vote for him
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: for governor. If that's where you think he's gonna go next. Yeah,
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: he's establishing his own track record, and I think he
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: owes it to the constituents to do a damn good
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: job farning out fraud and theft in the state of Ohio.
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: And I'm hoping that he's got the message on that
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: sounded like it anyway, And yes, he sounded different than
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: he used to. Six point thirty nine fifty five kc
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: DE Talks Station. I'm gonna get mixed words with you,
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: just trying to deal with practical political It's six forty
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: four if you have k CD Dog station five on
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: three seven nine fifty five hundred eight hundred eight two
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: three talk pound five fifty hundred eight and t phones. Yeah,
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: it's kind of thinking about that going to the context thing. Now,
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: don't throughout the the decent in search of the perfect,
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: and you know you're stuck with what you've got. These
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: are the candidates that we have to deal with so
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: quite often. And I think I'm stating the obvious. Maybe
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: consider it mansplaining, Uh, most things in politics are choosing
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: the lesser of two evils. Yeah, medicaid fraud check up
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: something else and behind the scenes. And I know you've
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: been critical of Jdvans in the past, Jay, and I said,
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: give JD. Vans some time to do his job. He's
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: the czar of fraud, waste and abuse.
• 57:49
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: I guess it was Elon Musk with dose. I don't
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: know what happened to that, but at least he brought
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: the concept of fraud, waste and abuse to our attention.
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: He brought the concept of we are we are paying,
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: and you are working to fund you know, recent search
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: in Thailand for transgender prostitutes and crazy things like that
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: that irked a lot of people. USA programs funneling money
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: that ends up backing politicians back pockets. That's a problem.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: The concept of non government organizations doing that also rising
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: to the attention to the American people. That took a
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: long time to do it. This industrial complex of NGOs
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: out there that basically are funding left wing extremism that
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: has been growing slowly over time, and it's like one
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: day it's the dam broke and we all woke up
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: and like what And of course the dam breaking in
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: Minnesota with the leering centers and nine billion dollars worth
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: of fraud from one small, tiny community of what one
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand somalis some sub section of that. For people
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: out there, they're going to say racism. It just ripped
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: us off in an unimaginable way. Oh my god, that
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: that can happen, Which is why I always put in
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: the context of that was one city with one federal program?
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: Are hunt? You know, like, how many federal programs are
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: out there, and how many ways from here to Sunday?
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: Could you rip them off or figure out ways to
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: rip them off? When we've got so much money flowing
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: out the door that they can't even tell where it's going.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: Going back to NGOs, do you know what your money
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: paid for? Did they actually do something in return for
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: the money that you sent out to that? Oh it's
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: a nonprofit. It's okay, you know. And I'd really really
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: worry about the future with artificial intelligence. But it was
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: thinking about this the other day when I was, you know,
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: talking about you know AI. This is a new, modern,
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: newer development that may be able to ferret through all
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: of the money going out and have some connection with
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: figuring out if there was fraud involved with it, modern technology,
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: putting together all the pieces, much like the Save Act.
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: You give us your information, your voter eligibility, we're gonna
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: pair it with our information over here, cross reference it,
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna make sure that nobody who is not
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: able or legally able to vote votes. We're making to
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: make sure dead people don't vote. Sharing of information, crunching
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: the numbers with computers, and finding a reliable list based
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: upon the information that's out there. That's a modern development.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: Probably she could have been done years ago, but guess what,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: we're trying to do it now. At least the Republicans
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: are doing it. It's a slow, slow journey, but I
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: view all of this at least as progress in the
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: right direction, and I'm willing to wait around as long
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: as they continue working on it. Recognizing the wheels of
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: justice go very slowly and the wheels of government and
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: getting something accomplished make the justice system and the wheels
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: of justice look like a speedy endeavor. That's why I said, never,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: don't put your hands in your fate, in the mind,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: within the hands of the government. Why would you do that?
• 1:00:40

  Speaker 1: the Morning Show. I am very happy Friday Eve to you.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 10: Thanks for calling Morning Brian.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 5: I think you are a little bit short with Jay.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 5: I think what Jay's saying affects us more in state.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 10: Of Ohio, and I think we should give him more
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 10: time on the air, and what Judge Napolitano has to say,
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 10: he really doesn't affect us that much in the state
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 10: of Ohio.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 8: So I would like to give the time.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: From well, everything that Judge and Paula talks about effects
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: everybody in the entire United States. We're talking about matters
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: on the Supreme Court level and matters about the Constitution,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: which collectively impact all of us the same way, so
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: and completely different subject matters Jay. You know, Napolitano doesn't
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: come on to talk about you know, fraud, waste and
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: abuse and government, which is of course Jay's big passion.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: And I'm proud.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: I'm very happy that Jay calls in and brings this
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: stuff up. But I did get short with him, and
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: I apologize to Jay for sounding like it. But the
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: frustrating part with me is this is what we've got.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm not going to discount of write off
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: a guy because of what he did or didn't do
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: five years ago. And if he is my only and
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: best choice again good versus perfect, he's the good component
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: better than good when compared to a Democrat who likely
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: wouldn't lift the fraud to deal with the lift a
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: finger to deal with the fraud in the state. So
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: you're never gonna find me voting for a Democrat. But
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: you would find me voting for a guy that Jay
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: characterizes as a rhino if he happens to be my
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: only choice against a Democrat. That's just the reason I
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: was frustrated It's like, wait a second, we're not. This
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: is a primary next week and he's running unopposed. He's it.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: And yes, you can be critical about the past, but
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: he sounded passionate about going forward and dealing with fraud,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: waste and abuse. And if he claims that, at least
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: we can hold him accountable for making the statements that
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: he's going to do something about it as we move forward,
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: and of course a judgement based on his record as
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: Attorney General, assuming he gets voted as Attorney General, if he
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: chooses to run again or move for higher office. As
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: Jay suggested, I mean, this is just what we're dealing with.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 11: It boils down the money, and he is going after
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 11: the money.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: Problems, right, and let's hope that the next Attorney General
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: does the same thing. Right, Let's hope. I'm not going
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: to throw it out and discount and say this will
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: happen under his watch, because you can't tell me what's
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: going to happen five minutes from now, let alone what
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: happens after the November election. So yes, I'm going to
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: remain optimistic. I am a reform pessimist. I've often, oftentimes
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: refer to myself as that, Yes, I used to be
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: gloom and doom. It's all gonna be bad, nothing's going
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: to get right. But I'm willing to be optimistical on
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: these lines because it's the best shot we've got.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 5: Let's more time for Jay on the air, though some.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: Well, we got to get some place in having a conversation,
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: don't we.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 7: We have plenty times for conversation.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: Well, at least statistically. I statistically, I will tell you
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: that I received quite a few instant messages and appreciation
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: for me well saying what I said to Jay. So
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: and Joe suggested that maybe you want to go produce
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: your own morning show. Tom. I don't care one way
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: or another, but that was my reaction. I'm the host
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: of the morning show, and I think it was appropriate,
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: trying to keep things in context and trying to be
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: optimistic in a world full of you know, jaded cynicism
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: and pessimism. Six fifty come on, six fifty six Congressman Davidson.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: After the top of the hour news. Are you happy
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: with him? We'll find out what he has to say
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: about the election coming up. He wants you to vote
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: and we will get a rundown in Iran as well
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: as the seven six fifty five Garacy the talk das
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: in a very happy Thursday slash Friday eve to everybody.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: I am pleased as always to be able to welcome
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: on the fifty five to the fifty five carsee morning
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: show Congressman Warren david So, welcome back, sir. It's always
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: great heaving on my program.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 9: Yeah, same, Brian, always look forward to talking with you.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 9: Thank you.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: Topic number one, there's an election next Tuesday. I understand
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: you have a suggestion that people get out and vote.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: Congressman Davidson.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 9: The election for Ohio is Tuesday, May fifth. Just to
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 9: truss the line in Kentucky on May nineteenth, to get primaries,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 9: you know, that's your chance to make your voice heard.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 9: The primaries are the way you shape the party that
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 9: you get. Is it more conservative or less conservative? Is
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 9: it going to change the status quo or continue it?
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 9: Those are the kinds of things that are on the
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 9: ballot when you vote in the primary.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: Yes, indeed, and less of course, you know you're dealing
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: with a race where there's no challenger, and that of
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: course is the case with quite a few of the races,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: and it always worries me. Congressman Davidson, Like with county
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: races when there are open judicial spots and no Republicans
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: will sign up to run for the bench. I mean,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: I don't understand that there isn't a single Republican of
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: the world that wants to be a judge. We let
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: just the Democrats have the seat. I don't mean to
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: pick on that just generally, but I just kind of
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: scratched my head over that, Congressman Davidson.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think there's a number of seats in Hamilton
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 9: County where Republicans have become demoralized, as you know Democrats
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 9: have and say, Butler are Warren Counties. They're just like, well,
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 9: why're not going to elect people from this party? Yeah,
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 9: and you know, it takes money to run campaigns, and
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 9: people look at it and say, why change it, you know,
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 9: and some other races people look at it and go, well,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 9: you know, if I'm a Republican, I like the Republican judge.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 9: I don't really want to get rid of them or
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 9: pick your position. If I'm a Democrat, you know, there's
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 9: there may be a Democrat out there that says, well,
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 9: you know, these are the things that I want Democrats
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 9: to do. I'm happy with this person in the role.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 9: But yeah, I mean you're increasingly looking at races that
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 9: aren't as competitive in a lot of ways. I mean,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 9: in Congress, I think we probably have about thirty or
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 9: forty seats that are truly competitive, and in general, they're
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 9: more likely to be you know, the Republican seats go
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 9: to Republicans and the Democrats seats go to the Democrats,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 9: you know, and each county's got their own Democratics that way.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 9: You know, West just we had to have a township
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 9: trustee which isn't officially a partisan race, but she was
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 9: recognized as the Democrat at of the year after she
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 9: ran as a Republican and won a township trustee race,
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 9: so you know, didn't have R or D on the
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 9: name in a township trustee race. But really, shape shifting
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 9: has kind of been one of the challenges, and it
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 9: seems there are more Democrats that blend in with Republicans
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 9: then the other way. But all the dynamics go and
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 9: local Democrats are all politics local, as they say.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: Well, and I know you're aware of the raging debate
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: of a property taxes swirling in the state of Ohio,
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: and I just like to use the opportunity to talk
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: about the primary to remind folks that there are seventy
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: four school levees on the ballot depending in the state
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: of Ohio alone, and if you've got a problem with
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: your property tax, build and there might be a reason
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: to get up and go vote only I mean typically
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: Congressman Davidson. As you know, like ten percent the registered
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: voters will even vote in a primary. Obviously, that gives
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of weight to any given a voter
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: who shows up. But it's just kind of a sad
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: state of affairs in a country that we have the
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: privilege of voting, that we just turn our backs on
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: the opportunity to do it.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean one of the things in Butler County
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 9: there's a levee on the MRDD, you know, the Mental
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 9: Health Developmental Disabilities Group. You know, they haven't had a
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 9: levee since like two There are constrained and you know,
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 9: there's two different types of levees when you look at
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 9: property tax. One is you know, a millage that moves
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 9: with the value of the property. That's the one that's
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 9: driving everybody nuts. And there's one that's fixed. And so
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 9: you know, it doesn't matter whether this property is you know,
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 9: you bought a house and it was two hundred and
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 9: fifty thousand dollars and now it's four hundred thousand dollars. Well,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 9: the school districts generally benefit from all that upside, so
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 9: their budget increases. But sometimes they put a levee on
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 9: the on the ballot that doesn't move, and that keeps
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 9: it more structural. So that's why they do it that
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 9: way in Butler County. That's why they're they're on the
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 9: ballot this time, is they had one that doesn't move
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 9: with the changing property value, and so they haven't had
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 9: an increase in their their budget since you know, like
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 9: go two three, something like that.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: It sounds like a better path to do things. Congressman Davidson,
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: all right, feel in the pain we are with our
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: tax bills. Also feeling a pain at the pump, of course,
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: the five dollars gasoline that's anticipated here in Ohio, at
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: least according to the estimates from gas Buddy. We saw
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: a significant jump yesterday a lot of places around town
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: four dollars and seventy nine cents. We're just a ticking
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: time away from that five dollars. You know, psychological reality.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: We've been there before, back in two thousand or was
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: it twenty twenty two? I suppose it was that high,
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: so we survived that. Do you think the American population
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: will actually turn its back on the Republicans if the
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: price of gasoline remains high in November? In other words,
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: vote for a Democrat because the price of gasoline is
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: high as a consequence of the war. Or can we
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: struggle through because as I see things, and you give
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: me your assessment, Dice, you proudly served your country as
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: a Remember the American military, I have been calling it
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: a battle of attrition. The ports of Iran are closed,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: the straight of horror moves has closed. Those are the
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: respective bargaining chips struggle that we're dealing with. If we
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: stay the status quo and don't put boots on the ground,
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: don't resume bombing. The Iranian economy is literally falling apart
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: real time. I mean it's collapsing before our very eyes.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: Will the Iranian economy collapse? Will they say uncle? Before November?
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: If I had to put it in that way, Congressman Davidson,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: and do you think that the high price of gasoline
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: actually will impact the election that profoundly.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think both of those things are true. I mean,
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 9: the strategic patients with the navy blockade is working a ranzone.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 9: Real revenue source is oil, and when you pump oil
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 9: every day, you get a ship oil every day. We've
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 9: shut down that shipping lane and eventually they're running out
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 9: of places to even put the oil. So those a
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 9: real problems. They start having to shelf wells. That's problematic
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 9: to revive them. And they have shown a willingness to
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 9: engage in diplomacy, and you know, the hope is that
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 9: that works and we get a piece full resolution in
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 9: the Middle East and maybe some stability, something that's been
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 9: missing for a long time throughout all of history. Frankly
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 9: in the Middle East. It would be an incredible achievement.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 9: But nevertheless, for the average average guy, they go out
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 9: and you know, you're spending more than a dollar or
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 9: a gallon more than what you were just a few
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 9: months ago, and it's easy to go back and go, well,
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 9: what changed, Well, that's the primary driver of what changed
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 9: is a war, and frankly, a war that a lot
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 9: of people felt like when they voted they were committing
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 9: to not have, and so I do fear that if
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 9: this is ongoing and gas prices are high and there's
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 9: other signs in the economy that through softness, people will
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 9: take that out on Republicans. I think we've got to
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 9: get the economy back and strength. We've passed a housing
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 9: affordability measure in the House with three hundred and ninety votes.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 9: The Senate's got one that's pretty partisan. For whatever reason,
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 9: you know, Democrats to control the United States Senate. Despite
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 9: Republicans is technically having a majority, they certainly don't act
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 9: like they have one, so we can't get anything useful
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 9: across the finish line in the Senate. So I think
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 9: people are right to be very frustrated. Oh yeah, but
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 9: when you go vote, I mean, don't forget the Democrats
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 9: are crazy, so they're not going to come up with
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 9: a solution that's better. They didn't accidentally impose the Green
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 9: New Deal and all these crazy ideas. They don't have
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 9: solutions that are for our economy. But nevertheless a lot
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 9: of people are going to be frustrated.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: Well, and that's to me the shocking thing that there
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: is a possibility that someone would vote for a Democrat
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: or otherwise would vote a Republican because they're angry over
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: five dollars gasoline. That sort of suggests to me that
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: wait a second, the answer to the problem that we
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: currently face high prices of gasoline and the ripple effective
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: inflation is because of the block of the straight of
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: horror moves. That means, are the Democrats if you vote
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: for the Democrats, are they going to pull the plug
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: on the entire conflict going over there right now? So
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: that the Iranians then will open up the straight OFU
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: and subject everyone to a tariff for attacks, continue to
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: maintain the ability to shut down the straight up hor
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: moves on a whim, and also develop their nuclear program.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: I mean Iran wins because evil Orange Man started this.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: That sounds to me like what I'm concluding based on
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: that vote.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 9: That is in fact their proposal. They keep bringing these
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 9: resolutions up and it's like, well, we need to get
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 9: out of Iran, Like, well, like, what do you think
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 9: we're doing with the peace negotiations here that's in the
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 9: midst of a ceasefire. They brought a resolution saying no
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 9: leave now. Well, how do you think the diplomacy is
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 9: going to resolve if you just leave now? So they're
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 9: root against everything Donald Trump wants to do, just reflexively.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 9: I mean that that really has become the only thing
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 9: in the campaign. And look, you know tragically, you know,
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 9: last weekend there's another assassination attempt, and you read this
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 9: guy's manifesto and it's really mainstream media talking points about
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 9: Donald Trump. I've had tons of colleague say the same things.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 9: They just didn't snap and go ready to start killing everybody.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 9: They keep saying the kinds of things that in sight,
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 9: that kind of mindset, and you know, TDS is real.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 9: I mean, I think people have just literally lost their
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 9: minds on a lot of things.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, collectively, pause, We'll bring Congress, Mo, Warre and Davidson back,
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: talk about maybe the the talk station seven twenty here
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: fifty five ker Cee talk station at the Thursday Brian
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: Thomas with Congressman Warren Davidson, Congress and Davidson. A shout
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: out from one of my friends that used to be
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: in your district and now is in one that's controlled
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: by Greg Lansman. He wanted to know if you would
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: comment on supporting Eric Conroy, who got President Trump's endorsement
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: in an effort to defeat Greg Landsman's because he said
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: he runs into people every day who have no clue
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: that they're no longer in your district.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 9: No, Eric Conroy is going to be a lot of
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 9: the west side of him in the county. You know,
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 9: Steve Steve was running against him, but Eric got Trump's endorsement,
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 9: Steve dropped out of the race. I also endorsed Eric.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 9: I think he's going to be a strong candidate, and
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 9: you know, he's the right guy to represent the first
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 9: congressional district. I'm hopefully get a chance to serve with
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 9: him after he defeats Greg Lamb in the fall. But
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 9: he's got a nice path here in the primary, and
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 9: I'm excited about it.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: Great. I appreciate you chiming in on that and pivoting
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: over section seven out of two, one of Andrew Napolotana's
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: favorite topic, section seven to two, which he believes is
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: absolutely outright violation of the Fourth Amendment. I tend to
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: agree with him on that, but ignoring that the section
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: seven to two expires, it's today, correct, Yeah, it.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 9: Expires at midnight to night. Yesterday the House passed some reform.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 9: It was so close to getting a real warrant requirement.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 9: We would have had to have three Republicans on the
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 9: Rules Committee join with Democrats to do it. Two did
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 9: and one took a walk. And it was very disappointing.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 9: And you know, it's just one of those things. On
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 9: the Rules Committee, that's where you shape the debate and
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 9: which amendments do you even get a vote on. Well,
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 9: I think the will of the body is that you
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 9: get a war. I think that's the will of the
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 9: American people. But unfortunately we weren't able to vote on
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 9: an amendment that would require a warrant when you search
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 9: the seven two database, and here's the thing. Seven oh
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 9: two is targeting foreigners. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 9: foreign intelligence part of that is important. We should keep
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 9: doing it. But whenever you collect on a foreign person,
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 9: if they communicate with an American, well then inherently you
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 9: also get some American data. The target is you know,
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 9: been laden for example, but you know if American calls
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 9: or contacts, emails, whatever, been laden, well that data is there.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 9: The question is what do you do when you want
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 9: to go look after an American data? And the exigence
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 9: circumstance was basically like, well, you can query the American
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 9: as long as you want to determine whether or it's
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 9: an American, whether it's an exigence circumstance, but that's obviously
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 9: not an indefinite period of time to know whether it's exigent, right.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 9: If you want to keep looking at somebody, then you
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 9: need to get a warrant. And that's the way what
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 9: was EIGs from Arizona. Hopefully the next governor of Arizona,
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 9: he's drafted that amendment. It's an excerpt from a bill
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 9: that I've got with bipartisan in the House and Senate,
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 9: and we can't get it across the finish line. So
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 9: we didn't get the big reform. We did get some
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 9: other ones that are pretty substantive. So if you see
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 9: somebody abusing it, it will be detected. And now there's
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 9: criminal penalties. Cash Betel, director of the FBI, asked for
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 9: those criminal penalties so if they did have somebody abusing it,
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 9: he could take action. And so I think the seven
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 9: oh two portions in a way become a shiny object
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 9: because the surveillance state's growing unovated in all kinds of
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 9: other ways. Seven O warrants in other sections, it doesn't
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 9: have a sunset, so we haven't reformed the regular warrant process.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 9: That are buying their way around it to get data
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 9: that they would otherwise have to get a warrant. They're
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 9: literally doing purchases you didn't incidentally collect the stuff that
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 9: you intentionally bought. So there's all kinds of things going
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 9: on with government chalants. Hope that we go bodily at
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 9: some of the other things that are going on, especially
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 9: as we go into AI and look at what they're
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 9: doing with that. Yeah, so you know, some incremental reform
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 9: on FISA, but it's not clear the Senate will even
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 9: pass the House version because it banned central bank digital
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 9: currency and that is the creepiest surveillance to one on demand.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 9: I mean, they spy on every single transaction in your money.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 9: It's communist money but digitized. So apparently that's a bridge
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 9: too far for the Democrat controlled.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: Senate and that's a real shame. Yeah, I was glad
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: to see the CBDC in there, the ban on that,
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: but also it included a measure of the Senate pass
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: budget resolution funding Immigration Enforcement, the procedual measure that was
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: passed yesterday. Regarding to FISA, there was some funding in there,
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: because I guess the bigger question is the government is
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: to certain degrees still shut down, right.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean DHS doesn't have real funding. Again, the
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 9: Senate broke on that the House has passed this bill
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 9: multiple times. Rather than nick floor and hold it, the
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 9: leader of the Senate teen to let Democrats lead them
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 9: around with a nosering or collar or whatever, and they
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 9: do nothing. So they sent over a bill that explicitly
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 9: zero's out funding for ice and border patrol. Thankfully, Mike
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 9: Johnson said we're not going to do that. So they
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 9: did go back to the drawing board and send over
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 9: a budget to do reconciliation, which is one of the
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 9: magic words that lets them break their sixty vote rule
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 9: and just pass funding. So this puts a line item
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 9: funding for the next three years for ice in border
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 9: patrol that I'll get through the Trump administration and maybe
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 9: after that we'll be able to have rational discussions with Democrats.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 9: I think it's a bad way to solve the problem.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 9: I think we should just force the Senate to actually
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 9: run the Senate. But nevertheless, we can't keep you know,
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 9: the Department of Homeland Security shut down, and we got
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 9: to have money to fund them.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: So this is this is the mechanism we're using, cots
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: Warren Davidson. It's got to be frustrating to be in
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: your position, but do you appreciate it? I know my
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: listeners appreciate your being there, voice of reason and common sense.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: Keep up the great work. We'll talk again next week,
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: and I hope you have a great week between now
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: and then. Sir, here see the talk station. It's seven
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: thirty one. It's a Friday Eve and a very happy
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: one to you. When ever, from now we get Jay Ratliff.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: I love talking to Jay Ratliff. I heard be the
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: aviation expert, preceded by mister humanitarian himself, former police officer
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: Brian Ibel for the Help Squad, a fantastic West Side charity.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: They got a fundraiser that Brian's gonna tell us all
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: about Cinco de Mayo. Please help the Help Squad help others.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: It is a truly fantastic organization. Spiritual man he is,
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: and he's trying to do God's work in studio. Welcome back,
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: Charles Tassel, State Director or Ohio Director of Rural Development.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: You got some grant loan programs with I got I'm sorry, Charles,
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: it's wonderful to see you man. Welcome to the Morning
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: Show studios. When I saw the list of funding opportunities
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: for infrastructure, in the long list of the various grant
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: and loan options, I kind of got a little concerned
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: because we've had we are swirling in debate about fraud, waste,
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: and abuse government programs that are being abuse and then
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: here I have a list in front of me of
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: programs that you have some control over. Immediately I'm going, uh, oh,
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: this ain't gonna go well, but no it will. You've
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: got to smile on your face. Charles, great having you here.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 12: Hey, I appreciate it, and really wanted to share kind
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 12: of what's been going on over the last year. Investments
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 12: that Trump administration has made. And I say that because
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 12: we know their investments. It's something we check.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 12: Reagan used to say trust but verify, right, lots of
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 12: verification all the way through the process.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: And I also suppose to a certain degree because you know,
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: politics is politics, and we deal with a lot of
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: folks who don't pay attention to anything and don't want
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: to give Donald Trump credit for literally anything. This will
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: you have some support that what Donald Trump is doing
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: is actually benefiting us. And when you say investments, that
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: word to me goes along with the return on part,
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: like do we get a collective return on the money
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: or is this money just being cast out of the win?
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: You get where I'm coming from.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 12: Absolutely, And so there's there's three areas we kind of
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 12: work in. So one of them is a housing area,
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 12: one of them is business, and one of them is community.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 12: When I say community when I'm talking about our facilities,
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 12: so above ground and below ground. So we think about,
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 12: you know, how do you put an ROI on the
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 12: fire department? Well, there's there's ways we can actually do
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 12: some of that with metrics from insurance costs, do we
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 12: have accessibility and time to runs?
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: And one of perfect guests.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 12: So those are the kinds of things we're working on.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 12: In fact, we're working on a project right now. I
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 12: won't say the community name since it's in process. Fine,
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 12: but they literally have a row that goes through their
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 12: town and so they're partnering with one of their neighborhood
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 12: towns to make sure that the fire department. They have
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 12: mutual fire departments on either side that provide mutual support.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 12: Because when a train does go through. It sits there
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 12: for three to five minutes, which that may not sound
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 12: like a long time unless you're in emergency situation. So
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 12: working through those.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: And part of the Palestine immediately comes to mind.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 12: We'll be sharing some information on that's on the list
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 12: as well. There's some other things coming. I know Veland
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 12: has a fire department that they're going to be doing
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 12: a ribbon cutting on probably next month. Oh, really forward
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 12: to that. And again, these are opportunities where we say
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 12: please come in and talk to us early. And this
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 12: is the community so commissioners, townships, if you're a trustee,
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 12: safety service directors, this is something that you know when
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 12: we ran back in the second district and Representive Taylor
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 12: has been fantastic and I want to thank him for
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 12: Actually I have a deputy state director because of him.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 12: He's been great and he is He's on the Agriculture
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 12: Committee and been very focused on making sure we're helping
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 12: in rural communities to make sure they get what they need.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 12: And that means you know, from fire departments to grant support, all.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: Of that, but not a quality leering center.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 2: All right, no learing centers on this.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: Well, we're gonna get some of the details on these
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: various programs and the good hopefully that they brought about.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: Charles Tassell in studio for this half hour, so don't
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: go away. I want to mention Chimneycare Fireplaces to over
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: right now because they do it all when it comes
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: to chimneys and fireplaces. The talk station seven thirty Minie
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: here fifty five kerc Detalk Station, A very happy Friday
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: Eve to Brian Thomas at Charles Tassel, the Ohio Director
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: of Rural Development. We're talking about federal loan programs and
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: federal grant programs for rural districts in Ohio. And you
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: gave me the list of all the grants that went
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: out there or loans that went out there under these programs,
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: and I quickly flipped through to make sure Hamilton County
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: was not on it because it is not a rural county,
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: right Charles.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: That's correct.
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 12: In fact, we function in about eighty six out of
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 12: eighty eight counties. There's part of Hamley County or in
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 12: Harrison area that could qualify for some of our programs.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 12: And people can actually go to they can go to
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 12: Ohio Rural Development just google it. We've actually have a
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 12: site up there and they have a nice new app
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 12: which you can punch in an address and see what qualifies. Okay,
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 12: So for example, fifty thousand or less population if it's
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 12: a township, twenty thousand if it's incorporated, and then the
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 12: smaller you go like under ten thousand for some of
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 12: your wal and sewer assistance. So those are kinds of programs.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 12: But by putting in your address, it automatically tells you
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 12: what programs are available in your area.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: Okay, So you streamline that process, made it easier and
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: you personally, I did ask this question off Eric, I
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: want to put you on the spot, but you personally
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: have control or authority over the approval or denial of
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: any of these loan applications or grant applications.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 12: There's a variety of them. So like the five oh
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 12: four grant program, which is straight one hundred percent cash
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 12: grant that comes to us, we oversee it. We inspect
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 12: to make sure that before that fund those funds go out,
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 12: who's getting them, what the process is, itemized process, invoice
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 12: of what's going to be spent, and then follow up
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 12: during process and after. And the five oh four, for example,
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 12: is for somebody who's sixty two or older, they own
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 12: their own home. They're in a situation where I've got
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 12: a home problem situation, emergency safety situation.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: We've got to address a random example, what would be
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: what would what would be a situation?
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 12: That number one issue is a roof. Okay, so they've
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 12: got a roof issue.
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: Retired fixed income seniors living in their own homes pay
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: for they can't forward the roof.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 12: Correct and we can help with the first ten thousand
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 12: in grant, and then we also have a one percent
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 12: loan for up to forty thousand dollars as well.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: All right, which benefit to the society larger is they
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: don't end up in a Section eight housing on government.
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 12: Welfare exactly, or just losing the house. The house goes
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 12: to zombification. And we all know what happens if you
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 12: have a home that said faith, It goes downhill real fast.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 12: So that's the kind of focus that we are focusing
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 12: at all.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: Right, So you did anticipate my question, I think because
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: your statement about what your office does you follow up?
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you notice, Charles task and we
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: have a real problem with non governmental organizations getting free
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: money from the federal government, and they never follow up
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: to find out what the money went for, if it
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: went to the purpose they claimed it was going to
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: go to. Absolutely, it's just Charles.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 12: You know, I've actually been very blessed with staff not
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 12: going to DC, not going to the swamp. I have
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 12: Ohioans that help Ohioans, and even my counterpart, I've got
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 12: Steve Howell over in Indiana, State director over there, Travis
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 12: Burton down in Kentucky, same counterpart, same safe popper role.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 12: And again, folks, we're Midwest practical. We go out and visit,
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 12: we make sure we check things, we verify to make
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 12: sure that the money's going where it's supposed to go.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: Wonderful so money, the investment and then the return on
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: investment is something else you're looking at before approval and
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: of course following through to make sure that money went
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: to the work that it was an earmark for. Let's
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: talk about some specific programs, maybe ones that you're proud of,
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 1: or they just you know, solidify a conceptually for my
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 1: listening audience so they know where their taxpayer dollars have gone.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 12: Absolutely, So a couple of things. So one of them
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 12: I'm really excited about there's a reshoring we did out
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 12: in Hockey County, and this is one where we've actually
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 12: helped bring in about sixteen million dollars in a guaranteed loan.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 12: So the bank looked at it, the bank went through it,
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 12: We went through what the bank went through, verified everything,
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 12: and helped bring a company that was doing a glass
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 12: it's a type of reflective glass US sometimes used in
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 12: solar and then also used in other defense related issues.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 2: I love it at that.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 12: Brought them from China to the US and now they
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 12: actually by the time they were ready to open, had
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 12: ten times the demand of what they had expected. So
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 12: they're like, okay, we're ready for phase two. We're like
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 12: bring it, let's go and help them expand out.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: And this was a loan, correct. Now, I'm sure my
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: listening on it says far less of a problem with
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: a loan because that suggest payback.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 12: Correct.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: So this is a lower interest rate loan. In other words,
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: this company couldn't have gone to a bank touring for
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: financing to.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: Have this happen.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 12: In working with the banks, the bank said, because the
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 12: amounts and the areas, and that's really a lot of
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 12: what we focus on is a lot of areas that
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 12: are rural, you tend to go, where's my capital coming from,
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 12: where's the local bank. So we kind of helped step
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 12: in and back some of those smaller banks. Again, we
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 12: verify all the numbers and especially that size of a
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 12: loan that goes up to our national office for verification
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 12: as well. That way we can come back and say
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 12: this is safe, this is solid. We're protecting the taxpayers, all.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: Right, since everyone appreciates it. What a home loan interest
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: rate is roughly but it's six percent right now, roughly?
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: What kind of discount loan are we looking at for like,
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: say this business, what rate did they get?
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 12: Typically you're looking at a five and a half to
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 12: six percent, but they're going to look at a twenty
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 12: to thirty year amortization, and they're also looking at not
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 12: coming back on that loan every five years. This is
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 12: going to be a longer term loan process.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: Okay. So it is like a typical mortgage for a homeowner, correct,
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: But this is applied to a business, which is not
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: the norm. If the business strug us sought financing from.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 12: A bank, correct, correct? Okay, So one of the things,
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 12: like for homeowners, we actually have a five or two loan.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 12: So if you're low income and you want to purchase
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 12: a home and you're like and typically what we see
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 12: is somebody is on the program for about two years
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 12: and they get what's called a paydown. The term subsidy
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 12: is used. It's not really a subsidy because you're not
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 12: getting free money. You're getting free money in the sense
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 12: that we'll pay part of your payment for the first
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 12: part and first part of that process why you're in
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 12: low income, but we put that money back at the
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 12: end of the at the mortgage, so you know delayed,
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 12: it's delayed. Now we don't charge you interest on that.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 12: But what this does is help somebody in a rural
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 12: area get into a home. And typically what we see
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 12: is about a two year time frame that they're on
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 12: the program and the mortgage is again thirty three years,
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 12: not a thirty year. It's a little odd. It's nineteen
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 12: forty nine was when it was set up, so it's
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 12: working through that. But it's a great way for low
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 12: income and very low income folks to get in to
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 12: purchase a home. A reasonable home, not something we're talking
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 12: about questions, right, but a reasonable home to have something
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 12: safe and affordable.
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, and the societal return on that investment.
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 12: Again, now we're butting home ownership right, and again this
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 12: is typically a two year timeframe, So seventy five percent
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 12: of our folks are off the program within two years.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 12: And that's that's the beauty of it. You're helping people
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 12: get into home ownership.
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: And maybe that whole ownership help them get off of
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: the situation they were in. Correct, So that's that there's your.
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 2: Return, right, we want to stabilize yep, all right, Well, Charles.
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: Assel's ride and heard over all of this and making
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: sure all the eyes of dotted and teaser crossed and
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: you and I are not getting ripped off. Few more
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: illustrations of that and some of the other programs out there.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: More with Ohio Director of Rural Development Charles Tassel. A
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: pause for a moment, let mention Kate Heavy the talk
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: station seven fifty here fifty five care CD talk station.
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: Brian Ibold from Help Squad in studio after the top
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: of darn news is going to Brian Help, Brian Ibold,
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: help all those folks on the West Side that are
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: really truly in need. And speaking of needs, Charles Tassel
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: is here in studio. How director of Rural Development. He
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: is in charge of these various grant and loan programs
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: for rural areas in Ohio's obviously criteria to qualify and
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: apply for any one of these, and they've made it
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: easy to do so online. And how about, say so
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: from the rural communities that are going to be the
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: recipients of any given loan or grant? Do communities have
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: a say in this? Do you invite their involvement in this?
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: I mean some of the things you mentioned, I can't
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 1: imagine anybody objecting to these aren't Like putting an artificial
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: intelligence facility in that would invite everybody. They at board
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: meetings and council meetings and trustee meetings and all that
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: if they have one of those. But what about any
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: given one of these programs, like the grains the grain
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: mills that you helped with, talk about.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 12: That, correct, So you know grain mills are are critical.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 12: Those are especially for our farmers. Making sure that they
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 12: are accessible, that they're regional and bi regional, I mean
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 12: sometimes within multiple counties you need to have one, and
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 12: so making sure they're functional, making sure they have the capital,
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 12: whether it's a dry grain. Sometimes there's wet grain.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: So they're a shared storage facility.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 12: So typically that's a company on its own, and they
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 12: may take ownership of the grain. They may buy the grain,
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 12: they may hold it and then purchase it, or then
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 12: the farmer may actually sell it at a later date.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 12: There's a whole commodity's approach to that.
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 12: So it's a very complicated process. Our farmers are definitely
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 12: involved with what's going on around the world and paying attention.
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 12: The President's very focused on making corn and making sure
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 12: corn and soy being get exported and there's opportunities for
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 12: that or ethanol.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: Again, don't even get me, star, Charles, you're going down
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 1: a bad path. Understanding path.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 12: Well, there's some alternatives. There's some alternatives to food being
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 12: used as an ethanol. There's some biote processes to do
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 12: ethanol as well.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: Okay, we're growing one of those. Let's grow enough to
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: satisfy demand that isn't created artificially, Charles, Don't tell me
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: that we need and must burn a product that we
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: then have to go out and grow and cut down
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: and process and it's bad for our engines.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 12: How about grass that's actually used for it, not that
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 12: not touching that issue. Sorry, but really it's back to
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 12: your point on that. You know, really what does it
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 12: take to work in the community. We're really there to
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 12: support the community and whether that's on you know, above
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 12: ground with buildings or below ground. A lot of sewer
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 12: water connections, making sure our rural areas have access to
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 12: good water. Sometimes you're talking multiple wells and they reach
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 12: a point where they're like, Okay, we're moving from two
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 12: thousand people in our community to three or four. How
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 12: do we get the water service there? Or they've got
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 12: a small business coming in. How do we make sure
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 12: that that business has electric and water and broadband and
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 12: supporting that process. So that's really what we're focused on home.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: And our return is the jobs. The income absolutely springs
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: from the additional people living there. It's necessary, it's all
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: part of the.
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 12: Economy exactly, and making sure we're supporting the rural community
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 12: and outside of it. You know, there's a meeting we
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 12: had that was the It was a policy meeting, a
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 12: county policy meeting with a farm bureau and they bring
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 12: in local folks and one of the ladies actually, wait,
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 12: a second, rural development, what are you developing? I said, well, ma'am,
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 12: let me go back to a comment you said earlier,
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 12: which is you want your kids to be able to
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 12: stay on the farm and stay in the community. Well,
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 12: they have to have opportunities to work.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 2: In order to do that.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 12: We need to be thinking through what good balanced development
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 12: means for each community. And each community is autonomous. They
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 12: have their own decisions on that. We're just there to
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 12: assist them in what their decisions are.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: Well, in these loan programs and these grants, I suppose
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: for a very rural community with a low population and
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: a low tax base, they this is necessary or they're
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: never going to get their water situation figured out, for example. Correct,
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: And part of the loan them the money for the
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: massive infrastructure project that have to issue bonds, and you.
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 12: Know, we're still loaning it for them, and they're doing
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 12: a bond over a long period of time, but by
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 12: able to stretch it from a you know, instead of
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 12: fifteen year amorization, stretching out over thirty years with low interest.
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the programs that give you that flexibility, because
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: in the absence of these programs, they'd be dealing with
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: market forces like you and I would would have to
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: do and somebody's got there going to say, well, no,
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: this is a terrible risk for me. Exactly, I'm not
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 1: going to give you that money even if you're going
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: to be paying it back over time, because it doesn't
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: look like you have the resources to pay it back
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: long term.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 12: Correct and making sure that they do. We do want
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 12: to make sure that they're paying it back, and we
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 12: work with the communities and actually communities are really good
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 12: about paying it back. We actually one of the things
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 12: we try to reach out and do is encourage other
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 12: banks and much to participate because sometimes the banks will
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 12: go in do the vetting ahead of time. Not that
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 12: I'm recommending anyone bank, but like Huntington and People are
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 12: a couple that we work with. They're great and they'll
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 12: bring in whether it's community side of things or businesses
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 12: and say here's a project we like, we vetted it,
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 12: and we'd like to get some guarantee on it from
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 12: the federal government.
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: All right, well, this is a US Department of Agriculture
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: Rural Development program. Where would people go if they want
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: to find more about all? And it would take me
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: probably ten minutes to read all the different potential opportunities
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: you have for grants and loans.
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 12: What's a good one stop shop. Charles Tassel, USDA Rural Development, Ohio.
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 12: There you have it, as simple as that.
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: USDA Rural Development, Ohio, Charles Tassel, our Ohio Director of
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: Rural Development. He's riding heard over this, and I trust
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: Charles at his job. Thank you very much for explaining
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: this to my listening audience and me more fundamentally. Absolutely,
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: I was really worried man. And no I'm not burning
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: ethanol in my car, Charles. I love the American farmer,
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: but no stop that. Fifty six fifty five Carez the

  Speaker 1: Help Squad? Oh yeah, well, thank you for the introduction.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 13: So the Help Squad, just start off, is a Christian
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 13: based five oh one c three nonprofit organization and we
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 13: provide temporary financial assistance to struggling families and we focus
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 13: on single moms and dads on the west side of town.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 13: So that's what the Help Squad is, all.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: Right, real quick here, Yes, we're gonna just get this
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: out and get it out and get it out in
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: the open. Many not for profit organizations have very well
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: well paid CEOs and board members, And Brian Ibold, how
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 1: much money you getting out of this whole thing?
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 6: Zero?
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 7: There you go.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: That's what everybody wants to know. Why because it supports
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: your Christian mission and your Christian obligation to help your
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: fellow man.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 2: Am I right.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: Amen, there you go. Good Amen for you and you
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 1: have some great stories to tell. And of course it's
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: contributions from folks out there listening, small, medium, large, and
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: if you're a corporation, you're looking for a great charity
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: of support and you have some connection with the West
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: Side and the problems that even the West Side has.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: The help Squad is the place to go. Every little
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: bit counts and they take that money and remind my
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 1: listeners about the vetting process, and it just illustrated. First off,
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: the types of projects are the types of services that
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: you provide, and then your vetting process, because that's so
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: critically important. Were gonna make sure money is being spent properly?
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 13: Sure, so. A lot of nonprofits provide the very basics
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 13: the food, clothing, shelter and whatnot, as we do as well. However,
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 13: we take it to another degree where we will pay
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 13: your utility shut off, so we'll prevent your utility from
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 13: being shut off or we'll turn them back on. We
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 13: do car repairs. That is a very big thing. We've
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 13: gifted about fifteen cars. We've given fifteen cars away to
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 13: people in desperate need of transportation. We do one of
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 13: the biggest things right now is rent. Rent is skyrocketing words,
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 13: and so what we'll do we'll be able to pay
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 13: someone's pass rent to avoid them being evicted and being
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 13: another statistic and handle the county of being homeless. So
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 13: we do a lot more than just the standard help.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 13: We give a lot more than that.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: Well, and I love that you are coordinating automobile repair
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: shops to be charitable as well and donate some of
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: the repair services because the importance of an automobile cannot
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 1: be understated. People need to use it to go to work,
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: and if they can't go to work, they're going to
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: end up in Section eight housing your on welfare benefits,
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: and God knows we don't need.
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 13: More of that, right, Yeah, that's exactly what I appreciate
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 13: you bringing that up. So we started what's called the
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 13: Drive program. So we've been working with Strategies then Homelessness,
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 13: which is the largest nonprofit organization in Hamlin County four
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 13: to combat homelessness, and we're working with them and discovered
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 13: that the majority of the working poor fall into homelessness
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 13: due to a car repair that they cannot afford. So
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 13: the answer is maybe if we've just fixed their cars
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 13: prior to them falling into homelessness. That would lower the
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 13: homelesses rate. Get out ahead of it, yes, right, yeah,
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 13: what an amazing concept. So that's what we've been doing.
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 13: So we started a drive program where we've been incorporating
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 13: service stations, gas stations, auto repair shops, mechanics, tow truck
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 13: companies to come aboard with us and donate X amount
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 13: of dollars and we will fix people's cars for free
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 13: and prevent them from being homeless. So you can fix
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 13: a car and prevent a family from being homeless. So
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 13: we have right now we have four service stations on
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 13: board with us. We have Duber's Automotive in dal High.
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 1: Great folks there.
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 13: Mark Kuber is a great dude.
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 13: We've got broken Oil on Glen Way with Mike Brogen.
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 13: I actually worked with him. He's a retired policeman as well.
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 13: He's a really good dude. Andrew Schneider at over at
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 13: Bear Car Care on Chubute Road. And finally Matt I.
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 1: Remember that sign I always that it's very cool or
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 1: something like that. I loved it. Yeah, he's a really
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 1: good guy.
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 13: And then Matt Brogan over at Broken Folds on Bridgetown Road.
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 13: Just such a great guy. All these guys really want
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 13: to help and what we need more. The more people
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 13: we have on board, the more people we can help,
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 13: the more people we can prevent from being homeless. It's
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 13: just that simple, and just sign up to do it.
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 1: Get in touch with Brian Eyeball, get in touch with
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 1: Janie Ward here and he's all tax deductible BRU tax
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 1: deductible on top of it. Yes, sir, someone out there
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: get it, gets to fulfill their Christian mission and get
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 1: a tax deduction at the same time. Perfect which is
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: the Help Squad sincy dot com. People can out reach
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 1: out to you through the website. Oh yeah, definitely. Okay,
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: so there's got to be another automble pair shop out
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 1: there that can help out with that. Give me a
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 1: great illustration of something that you've done recently with the
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 1: Help Squad contributions before we get to the event that's
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 1: coming up, and we will get to that. You got
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 1: a really fun event going on to help do some fundraising,
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 1: but a more recent illustration of what your small measure
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 1: of assistance does in terms of broad benefit.
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean we see it on a daily basis
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 13: is as far as helping somebody, it's a very emotional
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 13: situation where you are able to help somebody that didn't
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 13: have the help before, and now you come through and
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 13: everybody gets a little little emotional allergy outbreak. Yes, you know, hey,
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 13: look I got to wrap to keep I can't be
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 13: crying all the time, but it is. It is definitely emotional.
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 13: So I would think the one I can bring up
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 13: and I have ment before not too long ago, we
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 13: had a lady who was a single mother, working very
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 13: very hard. She had two children, working two jobs, and
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 13: she had her mother who was ill in a hospital
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 13: bed in their living room under hospice care, and she
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 13: was She got behind on the rent because of her
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 13: mother's issues and they were going to evict her, and
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 13: she had tried sixteen. We were the sixteenth agency that
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 13: she had contacted to help with her rent. So the
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 13: prior fifteen could not help her. Never return a call,
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 13: didn't return an email, or when they did talk to her,
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 13: they were very rude. They put her on a waiting list,
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 13: they blew her off, and a lot of agencies are
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 13: like that. We aren't. I can tell you that right now,
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 13: we aren't.
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: What the clock is ticking exactly. She's going through all
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: sack different organizations. Yes, so she was going to be
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: the serve to her viction papers on Friday. We found
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 1: out about this Wednesday morning, and the next day Thursday,
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 1: the day before her viction, we paid her.
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 13: Rent in full.
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 1: That is that's absolutely amazing, nice and easy. And you know,
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 1: I guess the other question I have to answer Brian Ibold,
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 1: and of course, uh, Jamie, how much federal government money.
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 2: Do you get?
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 13: We get as much federal money as the money we make.
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 2: Zero.
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 13: It's not like we haven't tried. I mean, you know,
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 13: we will fill out grants, we just don't get them.
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 13: I don't know why they give them to all these
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 13: bigger organizations though.
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 7: Me.
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 1: I'm just speaking to this argument. It's got to be
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: some federal taxpayer funded program. And see, that's where the
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: breakdown occurs. As we regularly learn every single day, there's
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 1: no vetting, there's no follow up, there's no insurance to
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 1: make sure that whatever taxpayer dollars are thrown in something
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 1: is actually being accomplished. You're on the front line, you're
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 1: seeing that it's taken care of. You have finite resources,
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 1: so you must allocate them conservatively right, because let me
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 1: guess that woman you helped, there are probably fifteen, twenty
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 1: thirty forty people standing around the corner beat next in
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 1: line that also needs to serve. So how do you,
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 1: how do you? And the other component of this is okay,
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 1: Brian Ibold, it was a wonderful gesture that you and
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 1: help squad did helping her that time. What about next month?
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 13: Yeah, well, so we do vet our clients and it
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 13: doesn't really do us any good. If you can't afford
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 13: your rent this month and you have no plan or
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 13: no occupation or no compensation coming in and you're not
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 13: going to be able to pay your rent next month,
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 13: we don't pay it.
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 1: We vet the people.
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 13: This is just some sort of temporary financial crisis that
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 13: has occurred, and we fill the bill. We just we
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 13: pay whatever needs to be paid to keep you making
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 13: ends meet. It's just that simple.
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 1: So this doesn't go on in person. Absolutely again, the
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: value of you doing it right.
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 13: As a matter of fact, ninety percent of the people
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 13: we help do not come back every now and then
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 13: you might get somebody that says, hey I just need
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 13: this or one more time or something, but ninety percent
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 13: don't we fix it and they move on and they
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 13: continue to make ends.
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 1: Meet prooffably successful charity help squad, since you with the
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 1: why the help squad, since he dot com help them,
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 1: help us collectively, and you're doing God's work.
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 2: I guess you know.
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 1: We're gonna actually get Jamie to talk when we come
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 1: back from the breaks. She's gonna tell us all about
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 1: the Sinko to myl fundraiser. What an awesome venue she
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 1: is responsible for selecting. So we'll get you involved with that.
• 1:47:15

• 1:47:30
  Speaker 1: The help Squad sincy dot com helping folks on life's margins,
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 1: deal with them usually just sort of interim problem they're
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 1: having financially, get him over that little hump, get the
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 1: car fixed, and people go on with their lives and
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 1: don't end up on social welfare. Is this a beautiful thing.
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 1: It's a Christian focused mission to help these folks out.
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 1: Brian Eboldt and of course Jamie Ward in studient. You
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 1: wouldn't know that because she's been kind of quiet, and Jamie,
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 1: we're gonna let you provide the details on the fundraiser

  Speaker 1: for someone to say, oh, I can donate. I mean

• 1:50:40
  Speaker 1: generate some cash or the help Squad. That's true. And
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 1: there are trades people out there. Imagine electricians and plumbers.
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 1: I mean you have a contingent of helpers that do
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 1: things like that, because I can see a plumbing job
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 1: and that will be awfully expensive for someone like a
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 1: car repair.
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 13: Yeah, certainly, Yeah, we do. We have people on our
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 13: list that have certain skill sets and when we have
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 13: a client that needs that type of assistance, yes, certainly
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 13: we reach out so all volunteers.
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 1: And I say that out loud because I know someone
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 1: out there is going Gee, that sounds like something I
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 1: can help out with. It's not a full time job,
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 1: but if you have some, you know, free time, you
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 1: want to donate your electrician expertise or plumbing expertise, maybe
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 1: some carpentary work, help those in need and help help
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 1: squad fulfill its mission, and maybe it'll be your personal
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 1: mission as well. Now have you been a cue? Is
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 1: said Sinco de Neon, Because it's going to be at
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 1: the Sign Museum. Isn't it a cultural appropriation? Aren't you
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 1: stealing someone else's culture with that? I'm kidding, of course,
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 1: making fun of those who would accuse you of cultural appropriation?
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 1: So what else we need to get accomplished here, folks
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 1: before you leave my studio and head next door? A
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 1: plea hope? Yeah, rare?
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 13: Oh no, definitely. I mean, well, here's what we're we

• 1:52:16
  Speaker 13: So that's we're just shouting out, maybe we can get
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 13: a few more tickets sold today well or maybe just.

  Speaker 13: your donation goes directly.
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 1: To help people.
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 13: Like I said, we don't get paid. One hundred percent
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 13: goes to help those in need.
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 1: And you know that's exactly why I ask you what
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 1: your salary was, mister nonprofit corporation, because there are big, big,
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 1: big allegedly. Well, I'm not going to be disrespectful to them.
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 1: I know they claim to do well, but they have
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 1: such huge bureaucracies within their charitable mission that you know,
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: thirty cents, forty cents, fifty cents on the dollar goes
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 1: to you know, paying salaries and buying paper and copy
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 1: supplies and things like that. Not with the hell of squad.
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 1: And it's one of the reasons I love you. I
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 1: always like to give a shout out to Matthew twenty
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 1: five for doing the same.
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 13: Oh, they're great, they are, They're great, there's no doubt. Yeah,
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 13: I mean, we have a lot of networking. We in
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 13: the nonprofit world. You have to play well with each other,
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 13: you know, and most of us do. But there are
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 13: some that don't. And I've been biting my lip. I
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 13: would love to tell you who, but I can't. But yeah,
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 13: So everything is volunteer and we don't get paid, and
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 13: we're okay with that because see, Christ came to serve,
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 13: not to be served, and that is what we're doing. Oh,
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 13: just be in the hands of feet of Jesus Christ.
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 2: My man.
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 1: I love it, man, And you know I didn't say
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 1: it out loud. The United Ways who I was thinking of. Anyway,
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 1: you guys have a great day. I'll encourage my listeners
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 1: to make a donation, make contribution, or volunteer to help
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 1: out the help squadsinsey dot com. And definitely go there
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 1: and buy a ticket for the Cinco d Neon event.
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 1: Even if you don't go, you buy a ticket, you're
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 1: helping out the cause. I wish you all the best.
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 1: I want to report on the fundraising effort to my friends.
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 1: Oh definitely thanks and I'll see you again some other
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 1: day down the road here in studio helping you out
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 1: again today. I love this time of week because we
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 1: get to benefit of iHeartMedia aviation expert Jay rattle Off,
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 1: moving away from politics in most cases, Jay, I love
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 1: having you on the show Man. Welcome back to the
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 1: morning showing and a nice hour. We'll be helping out
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 1: folks that a need. In the first half of the
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 1: hour we get to talk aviation issues and crazy things
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 1: going on. I'm glad this was number one on the
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 1: list because I printed the article out. It's like, oh
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 1: my god, yep. We live in the world with drones
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 1: and how often do airlines run into drones While attempting
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 1: to land jay.
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 14: It's not as common as I thought it would be
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 14: when all of this stuff started, So that's the good news.
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 14: But we have seen an increasing number of pilots reporting
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 14: drones in their area. But you know, drones are supposed
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 14: to be flying four hundred feet in lower and they've
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 14: got very strict rules that are assigned by the.
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 2: Federal Aviation Ministration.
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 14: But apparently we had a San Francisco bound United flight
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 14: that was coming in Brandon. They were at three thousand
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 14: feet when they apparently collided with a drone. Now you've
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 14: got a drone operating around a commercial airport, which is
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 14: not a good idea or allowed. Then you had the
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 14: situation of it. It was at three thousand feet. So
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 14: we'll find out drones have to be registered or are
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 14: to be registered with the FAA, And one of the
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 14: things will happen is if they can recover any of
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 14: what might have been left of that drone and they're
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 14: able to determine the owner, that individual is going to
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 14: be in a great deal of trouble because obviously they
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 14: were not abiding by the rules that dictate the use
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 14: of those drones.
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 1: Awfully high, that's not it that's not some like you
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 1: can buy off Amazon kind of height.
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 2: Is it.
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 14: Well, some of the new drones can get some some
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 14: pretty good altitude to them. It's a lot like having
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 14: a car that goes one hundred and forty that you're
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 14: only supposed to be driving.
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 2: Maybe No, Yeah, I get that.
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 1: I was just thinking, you know, is this sort of
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 1: like a commercial grade drone or is it maybe maybe
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 1: you can buy a drone that goes that high from
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 1: Amazon Islands.
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 2: You can't.
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 14: You could under certain circumstances, because from a commercial application
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 14: there's times that something like that.
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 1: Might be required military at the bottom.
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 14: Yeah, absolutely, And I suspect that there's some other things
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 14: that they can be as well. But most of the
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 14: drone activity, when you look at what it's being used for,
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 14: they do a lot of the pipeline inspections and a
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 14: lot of the field types of things. Those observations and
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 14: things can be done as long as the drone is
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 14: you know, maintains that does it go over that maximum
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 14: ceiling of the four hundred feet And when our home
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 14: in Georgia, we had the drone kind of fly over
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 14: and take some pictures and things like that, you know. So,
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 14: but again four hundred feets the maximum these things could be,
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 14: and those are nowhere near airports where they would.
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 2: Come in the problem.
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 14: So it's one thing for us to be worried about
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 14: a bird strike, but when you're talking about a drone
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 14: and some of these drones, you know, forty fifty sixty
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 14: pounds they can be. It is a very very dangerous
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 14: situation when you're talking about anything things being around a
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 14: commercial airport right where they could obviously occupy the same
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 14: space as approaching or a aircraft taking off. And you
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 14: and I've discussed repeatedly the most critical time of flight
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 14: for anybody is the takeoff and land. Again, when you're
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 14: at three thousand feet in descending, you're in the process
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 14: of wrapping things up, and I mean you're on final approach.
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 1: Well, and you've talked about bird strikes before, and this
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 1: can bring down aircraft. And I know they they check
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 1: aircraft engine and test them by throwing giant like frozen
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 1: turkeys or something into them. But are they testing drones
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 1: flying in them? Because that's the first thing across my mind.
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, what if a drone flew
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 1: into a jet engine? It can't just pop that thing
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 1: out the back.
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it was.
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 14: Actually it might have been Sinclair in Dayton that they
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 14: their aviation department did a study showing what the impact
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 14: of a drone on an aircraft ring would be. And
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 14: it was dramatic video from whatever call. This was several
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 14: years ago, but they were showing, you know, just the
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 14: dangers of you know, even a little a lighter drone
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 14: impacting an aircraft that might be going at you know,
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 14: one hundred and eighty miles an hour as it's coming
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 14: into land and you know, having a situation where some
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 14: serious damage can occur. So it's possible. And then of
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 14: course there's always the unpleasant conversation of drones being used
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 14: for terrorist activities.
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 1: It's where I was going, Jay, because you know, I've
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 1: seen these the whole concept of drone swarms. While it
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 1: may be fortuitous that a bird flew into a jet engine,
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 1: you can't train a bird to fly into a jet engine.
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 1: At least I think it will be complicated. You could
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 1: into intentionally fly a swarm of drones into an aircraft.
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 2: You could absolutely, you couldn't sgorry.
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 14: About it is and you know, as technology just continues
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 14: to make our lives easier in a lot of ways.
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 14: On the flip side, it makes it from a security
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 14: standpoint far more of a concern because you now have
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 14: a lot of these places that have you know, restricted
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 14: or no no fly zones for you know, anything around
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 14: certain airports other than what is authorized traffic. And you've
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 14: got you've got a lot of right, You've got fuel farms,
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 14: You've got so many other things that are areas of
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 14: concern near airports that obviously, you know, you're always concerned
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 14: about the likelihood or possibility is a better word of
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 14: something where those drones are there for reasons other than
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 14: just observation, taking pictures, those kinds of things.
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's accidentally flying into a no fly zone, intentional
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 1: flying into no fly zone. Last time I checked, that's
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 1: no fly zone. People tend to break the law if
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 1: they want to break the law, do harm to humanity,
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 1: like terrorist organization. Thanks Jay, one of the reasons I'll
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 1: be freaking out of a flying eight thirty six Right now,
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 1: we'll bring it back. We'll talk about Boeing doing well.
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 6: Been in the cockpit before.
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 1: Hey forty on a Thursday, if you've have KCD talk
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 1: station Bryan time with Lyheartmedia aviation expert Jay Ratliff. Jay Rattliffe,
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 1: Boeing actually had a great first quarter report. I always
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 1: think about Boeing and I think about the disaster that
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 1: was the Max software upgrade, the fact that they've got
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 1: like nine gajillion planes that they need to build for
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 1: the long term orders that the turnaround time, the production problems,
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 1: the using of equipment from the back room that was
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 1: supposed to not be used. I mean, you've painted a
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 1: pretty gloomy picture over the years of Boeing, and yet
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 1: they still doing well. Apparently well.
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 14: You know, they've been limping along the last couple of
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 14: years because they've had restrictions as far as how fast
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 14: they can build certain airplanes by the FAA. Making sure
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 14: that they have addressed a lot of the issues that
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 14: we've been forced to talk about.
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 2: Over the last several years.
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 14: And we got the report card as far as the
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 14: first quarter deliveries. And that's when aircraft manufacturers get paid.
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 14: When they can turn the aircraft over to the airline,
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 14: that's when they get paid. So there's obviously an incentive
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 14: to do so. Airbus delivered let's see in the first
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 14: quarter one hundred and fourteen aircraft in that first quarter,
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 14: less than what they tend to do Airbus does. Yeah,
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 14: Boeing though, one hundred and forty three aircraft in that
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 14: same quarter, So you had Boeing delivering one hundred and
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 14: forty three airplanes to Airbus is one hundred and fourteen,
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 14: and it's an indicator of the trend that's going right now.
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 14: Airbus is having a lot of problems because even though
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 14: they've got a backlog of eighty seven hundred airplanes that
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 14: are ordered that need to be built, a lot of
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 14: their supply side has really been impacted and slowed down
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 14: considerably because of them not being able to get everything
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 14: that they need to build their aircraft. Now, Boeing's got
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 14: sixty six hundred airplanes that's on their back order, so
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 14: you know, Airbus has a lot more. But you know,
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 14: you know the bottom line is that one of the
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 14: other issues Airbus has is they love the Pratt and
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 14: Whitney engines the power plants on these aircraft.
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 2: They should be using Ge engines.
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 14: Of course, and those Pratt and Whitney engines, a lot
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 14: of them are having some problems. In fact, I think
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 14: there's five hundred or so that are grounded around the country,
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 14: around the world rather as they try to work out
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 14: these engine issues and get them fixed, and that's slowed
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 14: down air bus as well. In fact, Spirit Airlines has
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 14: a good number of their airplanes with those Pratt and
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 14: Whitney engines that they can't use and they've been parked
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 14: one of the you know, the additional issues that Spirits
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 14: had of late going on. But yeah, so certainly some
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 14: good news for Boeing, And I think it's a trend.
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 14: I think they're pointing in the right direction. So as
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 14: long as they get out of their own way and
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 14: don't do something stupid.
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think I think this can continue.
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, don't get parts out of the broken parts ben
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 1: to put on a pola functioning air rint.
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 14: Yesase please, and in such a way that everybody knows
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 14: you're doing that. It wasn't like they were like, go
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 14: do this. I mean a lot of people were aware
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 14: of what was taking place, which is just the arrogance
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 14: of it all.
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 1: It was part of the process to go get broken
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 1: parts and put them on new airplanes. That's why I
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 1: keep bringing it up. And so it's it's like not
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 1: letting the world know that you upgraded the software that
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 1: will impact how the flame fly plane flies. That really happened, yep,
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 1: it did, and people died. Yeah, all right. Moving over
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 1: to Southwest Airline, and I think this is great. I
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 1: saw a picture of this airplane and man, that's something
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 1: to be proud of. And no, it's not related to
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump. It's just America being a celebrating two hundred
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 1: and fifty years, you know.
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 14: And to repaint an airplane, you know, it's one thing
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 14: to slap a decal on the side, you know, beink,
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 14: you know, near whatever and throw it up there.
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no.
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 14: They wanted Independence one, celebrating the birth of this country,
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 14: our two hundred and fiftieth birthday, to mean something so
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 14: nose to tail. They repainted that entire airplane. And you're
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 14: talking about something that could take you know, thousands and
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 14: thousands of gallons of paint. It weighs quite a bit,
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 14: which means this aircraft is going to cost more to operate.
• 2:04:10
  Speaker 14: But Southwest didn't care. And this has been rolled out
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 14: or will soon be rolled out where they actually have
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 14: two aircraft, Liberty one and I think in the Independence
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 14: one that are part of the Southwest fleet. That'll be
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 14: flying around, you know, the city's all over the country,
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 14: and it is so cool to see. It is that
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 14: kind of celebration, and it's a beautiful airplane. I mean,
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 14: this absolutely is incredible to see. So, you know, if
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 14: you're scheduled on a Southwest flight and you see it
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 14: taxing in and it looks a little different than others,
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 14: it won't take you long to figure it out because
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 14: it is a beautiful stars and stripes aircraft. We the
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 14: people on the side, it just again, it's the video
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 14: of them rolling it out and painting it. Those two
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 14: are just incredible to watch.
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can just go where you get your videos
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 1: and just serve Southwest Airlines Independence one paint and I'm
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 1: sure you'll find the paint process gorgeous.
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 1: Now, is this something that maybe one of us might
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 1: find ourselves flying on or are they only using it
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 1: for advertising or just celebratory purposes.
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 2: I know the.
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 14: Initial flight is scheduled to go from Dallas slove Field
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 14: to Philadelphia. They did that on purpose because they wanted
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 14: it going to Philadelphia where everything have place. So other
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 14: than that, I think it's going to be in the
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 14: general you know, the general inventory with regards to just
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 14: the normal aircraft rotation, because typically you want that aircraft
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 14: to be used around the country so different different places
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 14: can see it, not just dedicated to a single route
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 14: or two. But you know, I've not seen the specifics
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 14: on that. But the way these have worked in the past,
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 14: they just fly anywhere that they happen to be scheduled
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 14: to fly and people can benefit from it. But yeah,
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 14: it's just it's a super cool looking airplane and hats
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 14: off to Southwest.
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 1: Well, and you know all the huhas that all the
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 1: airlines once you ring up Southwest and say, you know what,
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 1: that will be the perfect plane for honor flight tri states,
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 1: So get it over to CVG next time around. Can
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 1: you imagine?
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 14: I fortunately it's American that works with you know, the
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 14: charters with the honor flight.
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good lord, would that be?
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 14: Would that be a beautiful airplane to take those honored
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 14: men and women to DC for the day?
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 1: That would make national headlines on top of it, Jay Ratliff,
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 1: let's pause, We'll bring it back. Babies on board yep,
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 1: having babies on board a plane and get off the phone.
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 1: Apparently two a couple of stories. We'll find about hub
• 2:06:27
  Speaker 1: delays is a good day to travel. Jay'll address that
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 1: topic as well, So stick around you right back fifty
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 1: five see fifty five kar CD talk Station One more
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 1: time with Iheartmediavation expert Jay Ratlffe certainly appreciate his time
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 1: with the morning show listeners and enjoy these light commerce
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 1: sometimes light I like this one. How many months pregnant
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 1: was this woman when she got on the airplane?
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 7: Jay?
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 1: Becuz, I know both of mine were born one month early,
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 1: surprising my wife and I both but very healthy and
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 1: came out done and fully baked. But I don't think
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 1: my wife would have been flying around even eight months pregnant.
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 1: So was the baby that was born the plane born
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 1: of Amanda that had it prematurely? Or did she get
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 1: on a plane fully ready to go?
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 3: Jay?
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 2: Pretty close?
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 14: I think that the reports that I read indicated the
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 14: baby arrived two weeks early. Okay, so you're talking past
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 14: eight months and the way you go here, so bully Babs,
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 14: which surprised me that one that she would try to
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 14: fly in that because a lot of times, as you
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 14: and I've discussed, the change in air pressure can actually
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 14: trigger sometimes the contractions. But yeah, this is a flight
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 14: Atlanta to Portland. They're about this forty five minutes out.
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 14: The lady starts to go into labor. It's like to
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 14: crew ask for any medical people on board. They had two,
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 14: and they, assisted by the flight attendants, assisted in the
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 14: delivery of this child that came fast. Once everything got
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 14: started before the airplane landed, crew declared an emergency so
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 14: everything get moved out of the way so they could
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 14: land quickly as possible, so that the medical teams could
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 14: be standing by to assist as needed. But yeah, I
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 14: mean they were doing everything from borrowing shoelaces from passengers
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 14: and other things to take care of business. And you know,
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 14: the baby's fine, Mom's fine. I think Sky would be a.
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 2: Really cool name here. But I don't know if they've
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 2: they've done this.
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 14: But you know, one of the things that you and
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 14: I've talked about before, this is the second time in
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 14: the last you know, six weeks or so, it's happened.
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 14: We had the one flight Jamaica coming into JFK where
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 14: a baby was born, and now this one Delta will
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 14: obviously celebrate to the fact mom and baby are doing fine,
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 14: but I suspect in the background they're going to be
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 14: having a conversation with the Atlanta gate agents saying, look,
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 14: if we've got women that are far along in their pregnancy,
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 14: we've got to be very careful on whether or not
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 14: we let them on an aircraft because had they done
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 14: so and there's been a medical emergency where things went wrong,
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 14: Oh yeah, you're thirty you're you know, fifteen twenty minutes
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 14: away from getting that airplane on the ground.
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 2: Who's who's liable?
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 14: Is it delta for allowing them on? Is it for
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 14: the passenger who's flying knowing that far along? So yeah,
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 14: it's a very delicate, obviously topic that you have to have.
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 14: But the last thing an airline wants to do is
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 14: to place a passenger or the baby in harm's way.
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 14: And you can do that if there's a medical situation
• 2:09:21
  Speaker 14: and there's nobody there with the proper equipment to respond like.
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 1: A breach baby you know, uh man.
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, how many things can go wrong?
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 1: Well, that's why you know that. Why would you get
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 1: on a plane that if doctors do not recommend you
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 1: fly when you're that far along?
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 14: As my understanding, I've had to tell individuals over the
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 14: years when I was at the airport that we weren't
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 14: comfortable with them flying simply because from a health standpoint,
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 14: we wanted to make sure.
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 2: They were going to be okay.
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 14: And given the fact that the air pressure change can
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 14: can can trigger that, Yeah, it's an obvious concern. And
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 14: the health of mom in the in the child our
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 14: first and foremost. And if means tell them they.
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 2: Can't fly, so be it.
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, real quickly, Well, we won't get to talk about
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 1: the passenger who refuse to hang up the phone before
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 1: takeoff in violation of the rules, but we can save
• 2:10:10
  Speaker 1: that for another day. I just got to really quick
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 1: make a comment because you mentioned the gorgeous paint jobs
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 1: Southwest Airlines and you talked about the weight and how
• 2:10:17
  Speaker 1: that would impact the fuel efficiency. I just wanted to come,
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 1: how many pounds do you think of weight was added
• 2:10:22
  Speaker 1: to that plane with all that paint.
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 14: It depends on how much you're talking about, you know,
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 14: four or five hundred pounds easy that could be put
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 14: onto an aircraft. And when you look at airplanes that
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 14: you know fly for certain carriers and they're like, you know,
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 14: if we remove two coffee pots or whatever, we can
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 14: reduce the weight by six pounds and that'll save us,
• 2:10:40
  Speaker 14: you know, twenty eight thousand dollars every year in you know,
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 14: fuel cost multiplied by nine hundred airplanes. So when they
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 14: are actually saying, look, we'll bite the bullet and add
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 14: that much more weight to an aircraft, Yeah, I think
• 2:10:54
  Speaker 14: that sends the right kind of message, even though they're
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 14: fighting rising fuel costs and everything else. It's like, this
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 14: is the right thing to do, and darn it, we're.
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 11: Going to do it.
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 7: It is.
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 1: Well, let's end up on hub delays as we typically do.
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 1: Jay Ratliff, how's it for travel out there today? Air
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 1: travel specifically, Yeah.
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 14: We've got some issues that are giving us problems in Dallas,
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 14: in Houston, I think they're going to be minor, along
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 14: with issues in Atlanta and Charlotte. Boston I think is
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 14: going to get hammered big time already has with some
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 14: significant delays that are going to be with us throughout
• 2:11:23
  Speaker 14: the course of the day. So, yeah, it's depending on
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 14: where you're flying. You'll probably get encounter some turbulence. If
• 2:11:29
  Speaker 14: you're flying east of the Mississippi, just keep your seat
• 2:11:31
  Speaker 14: belt fastened about you. Not dangerous, just uncomfortable, and yeah,
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 14: you'll be fine.
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 1: Jay Raytliffe always a distinct pleasure for my I hopefully
• 2:11:38

• 2:11:40
