  Speaker 1: front of me. Perhaps grab one and give me your
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: shout five one three, seven, four nine fifty eight two

  Speaker 1: and also get your I heart Meatiapolist to the podcast.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Great book Running Deep, Tom Craven return of the program.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: He's got so many best selling books, Bravery Survival and
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the True Story of the Deadliest Submarine in World War Two?
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine being one hundred and fifty plus feet
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: underwater after your submarine went down and then having to
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: go to the surface from that sub this is a
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: World War two era thing. No modern technology. Yeah that
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: other things happened to the USS Tang got to read
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: about that just in a real exciting book and nonfiction
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: it is. That's what he writes Tom Clven right there
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: for drive cares dot com, right next to Judge Ennina Politano.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Apparently we're at it again because subject matter again. We've
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: talked with Judge before and he and I see eye
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: to eye about blowing up boats off the coast of Venezuela,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and now we've moved him to the Pacific. So apparently
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: we are now shooting boats and blowing up boats in
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: the Pacific Ocean, Pacific side of South America. We just
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: did this the other day. This springs the number of
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: strikes I think to eight usually kill most of the
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: people on of those, the judge pointed out death hoolls
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: now at thirty seven to actually survived. I think it
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: was two from the submarine we blew up the other day.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: And I find this to be beyond the pale and unconstitutional.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Judge feels the same way, draw your own conclusions. I
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: know it's politically expedient and it's quick. Just blow them
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: up and don't worry about it. What are they going
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: to do? Lawyer up. It's a possibility. As the judge
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: pointed out, the two people who lived survive may very
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: well have a legal cause of action against the United
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: States of America for the attempted murder. Just hear what
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the judge has to say and dry your own conclusions.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Lakita Cole joined the program. She's running for since a
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: city council. Oh, look top of the rundown Judge Trekker
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: reminding me of something I do remember. But it is
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: a reminder. Remind you early voting. It's going on now.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: You don't have to wait till election day to cast
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: your vote, and strongly encourages the residents of the City
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: of Cincinnati, most notably to do that. Although you know
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: there are other issues to vote on, lots of school
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: levies out there. A lot of listeners have reached out
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: to me about the school lovies and people are a
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: little upset about the ask. So do your research. Get
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: a copy of your ballot before you go vote. That
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: way you know what to vote on. And please, dear guy,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: pay attention to the judges. Know ahead of time which
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: judges you are going to vote for. So important. What
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: else American's prosperity. Some results out of Columbus, Ohio bot
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: property taxes, A couple of bills are on the way
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: to being passed. And of course Jack evident with the
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: big picture truly affordable healthcare not really headline Wall Street Journal.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Get a load of this headline and you got to
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: read it to break it down. The average cost of
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: a family health insurance plan is now twenty seven thousand
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: dollars rose deeply for the third year in a row,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: they say, reaching just under twenty seven thousand dollars for
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: a family plan. This annual serve from KFF, which provides
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: well health coverage information, six percent increase from last year.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: The prior to years we had seven percent increases. Yes,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the rising cost of health insurance. You see it every
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: single day. Maybe your employer sees it. The employers are
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: more likely to pass it along to you. These days.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Nearly half the United States population gets health coverage through
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: their job. But the rising cost of employer coverage is
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: becoming a real problem for employers, so they're choosing different
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: options to defray the costs passing along to their employees,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: turning things into health savings. Accounts which allow the employees
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: to select their own insurance and use the money that's
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: allocated into the health insurance savings account to buy whatever
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: they want. In other words, the employer isn't directing your
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: coverage anymore, just giving you some money that they would
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: have paid toward a premium. Premium has become too expensive,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: so keep the money the same and just give it
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: to the employee. So that's going on all over the place.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I always recommend Cover sincy Hey free spot for Cover
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: since he call them and see if there's a better
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: way to get you insured. Electricity bills going up too,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Isn't that a wonderful thing. I've got an exclamation to
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: point on that. I saw a local story John mattaresee
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: who does the investigator reporting, you know, don't don't waste
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: your money kind of reporting? Winner Price Outlook, National Energy
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Assistants and Directors Association, whatever that organization is, estimates home
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: heating average increased eight percent more this year nine and
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: seventy six bucks. But if you heat with electricity, you're
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: going to be hit harder. It's average heating cost twelve
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: hundred and five dollars. Now, of course, matterise doing what
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: he does talks about ways you can lower your your
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: energy bill. But it's a typical thing you might think of,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: you know, get a smart thermostat, you know, insulate us insulation,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: et cetera. But it's going up. And what are the
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: things is an issue here, although it's probably not first
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and foremost in the hearts of mind to the greater
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati voters as they determine who they want to vote
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: for for mayor, Aftab Purval is mister green. He's even
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: had on the record statements of the effect that he
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: views everything that he does as mayor of the City
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: of Cincinnati first and foremost through the lens of green, green,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: carbon reduction, you know, global warming, et cetera. So with
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: that in mind, and I've said many times, so many
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: times you probably know exactly what I say rout loud,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: how much impact does the city of Cincinnati has as
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: much energy resources and most notably taxpayer dollars are being
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: thrown in the way of making us a green city.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: How much good is that going to do on a
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: global stage, since we are one tiny city in the world.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Don't even say, probably not much. It's not going to
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: do anything at all. Here's a great fact to support
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: my conclusions in that regard. Now, Australia is big on
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: trying to reduce their carbon emissions. They spent a lot
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: of money Australia does on doing that. They allocate a
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: lot of researches, in resources in order to get to
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: that net zero carbon emissions. That's our goal. Oh, this
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: is great. Every effort the continent of Australia, the country
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: of Australia, also continent size, are being totally negated by China,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: which admits as much carbon as much carbon in twelve
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: days as Australia does in an entire calendar year. This
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: research by the Institute of Public Affairs. According to Chain
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Hussey research fellow, there even in a highly unlikely event
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Australia would would ever reach net zero carbon emissions, this
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: would be canceled out every fortnight by China. He's a
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: research fellow with this instant, says continuing the pursuit of
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: goal of net zero missions amounts to an act of
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: devastating economic self harm. Not the words I've selected in
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the past, but I always say we're cutting our own throats.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Look at what the European Union does, Look at Germany's
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: economy after pursuing this, for every ton of emissions Australia
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: has cut, let me emphasize this again. I'll say out loud,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I'm emphasizing it case you can't get the ton of
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: my voice for emphasis. For every ton of emissions Australia
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: has cut, China has increased its output by thirty six
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: thousand tons. Okay. This institute cites a range of other
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: measures that it says prove Australia's net zero policy is
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: reckless and utterly futile. For instance, China's responsible for seventy
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: three percent of the increase in global carbon emissions since
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: two thousand and four. Well, during that period of time,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Australia's emissions declined from one point three percent of the
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: world's total to one point one percent. Congratulations on that
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: zero point two percent drop there, Australia over a full
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: decade plus. For every coal fired power station currently operating
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: in Australia, China operates sixty six. That's up from fifty
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: seven just a few years ago, and they're currently building
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: another one hundred and seventy seven coal fired power stations,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: with a further two hundred and twenty six coal fired
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: power stations in pre construction phase Australia, how many think
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: they have in pre construction in maybe a gleam in
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: somebody's eye, stage zero none. This researcher, maintaining zero net
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: zero requires turning a blind eye to the significant economic, social,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: and humanitarian cost it is causing. As a Productivity Commission
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: recently acknowledged, Australia is pursuing this policy even though our
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: emissions do not have any impact on the global climate,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: a continence worth of people. I know that the Australian
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: population is not massive, but you're talking about an entire
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: country's emissions. What are the emissions of the three hundred
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: thousand or so residents of the city of Cincinnati. I'd
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: love to see the comparison of that tiny fraction to
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: even Australia's total emissions. Massive cost without any meaningful environmental benefit,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: he said. We're seeing the de industrialization of Australia and
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: you can scratch out the word Australia. Put the European Union,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Put any given country in the EU, Put the United
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: States in there, if you want. Fortunately, we seem to
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: be moving in the opposite direction, waking up to the cold,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: harsh reality that this is a wasted effort if China's
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: not going to reduce its missions and reduce its carbon output.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: And I really firmly believe that carbon dioxide is plant food.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: It is not a polue, and I don't think it's
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: doing a damn thing anywhere anybody. And a volcano will
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: put out more carbon than probably China in a given year,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: negating all efforts by all countries in the entire globe
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: to reduce their carbon emissions, wildfires, volcanoes. I mean, look,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: we could go on for hours. I just wish we
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: would collectively wake up to the reality this is just dumb.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: So got that out of my system. Five and three
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: seven four nine fifty five eight hundred and eight two
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: three talk Pound five fifty on AT and T phones
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: five sixteen right now. I'll be right back after these brieforts.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: This is fifty five KARC an iHeartRadio State.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Five twenty year, fifty five k SC talkstations. I didn't
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: see this, but Joe Strecker did. Came in. It was
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: in my stack this morning and I read the announcement.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Community Shares it's an organization. Community Shares. The Greater Cincinnati
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: describes itself as well an incubator social Justice Incubator, providing
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the only local charitable umbrella for social slash economic justice organizations,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: environmental causes, animal welfare agencies, serving the strikes Day for
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: nearly thirty years. You can check it out yourself. Since
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: he shares dot org that organization is invest investing the
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: quote unquote investing about a quarter of a million dollars
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: to promote mental health and safety for transgender and non
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: binary youth, they say in the announcement. The funding will
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: expand after school programs and youth groups, supporting legal clinics, lawyers,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: transsensitivity training, provide trans youth with access to summer camps, retreats,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: and tailored healthcare services. They say. It will also launch
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: a new digital magazine run by and for trans youth,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: giving them a space to share their stories, creativity, and perspectives.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Well along comes Signal ninety nine. Little upset about this
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: because as I was reading this, I was I wonder
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: where Community Shares gets its money. It's a little it's
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: money from the broader public. It's got some corporate sponsors.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: If you want to check it out, decide to offer yourself,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: whether you think it's appropriate for the corporate sponsors to
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: support this organization. Then the jar your own conclusions, but
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: apparently a courd to Signal ninety nine, it's the City
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: of Cincinnati taxpayers that are parting funding part of this.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Let me just read what you had to say about this.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Thank you Signal ninety nine follower on Facebook. Residents of
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: the city was waken up to the fact that once
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: again their tax dollars are being steered towards a highly
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: divisive policy well the city. Since a leadership rolls ahead
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: with the second half of a five hundred thousand dollars
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: fund for transgender and non binary youth services, many ordinary
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: taxpayers say, hey, I didn't sign up for this, and
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: they're less than thrilled about how the money's being spent.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: At the heart of the matter motion by Cincinnati City
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Council to take a quarter of a million dollars every
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: year from the city Health Department budget, which signal points
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: out dollars secured from the taxpayers and allocated for quote
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: mental health and safety services for transgendered and non binary
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: youth close quote. Motion introduced by Counselman Mark Jeffery stating quote,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: we need to take care of our kids in this case,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: kids who are in the LGBTQ community who clearly needs
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: some services and help, mental health assistance close quote. He
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: then stated, it's a very small amount that could have
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: a pretty significant impact on the lives of these young people.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Now only pause and interject real quick here, the money's
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: being allocated to transgender programs. What does that have to
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: do with the lesbian, gay, bisexual, or I don't even
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: know what queer necessarily means. It's transgender. So you didn't
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: need to put the whole LGBTQ letters together their Jeff,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I'm making the announcement. It only deals with the t
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: all right. Further to signal ninety nine posts and the
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: membo from the city manager share along to Council funding
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: announcement protecting the mental health and safety of transgender and
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: gender non binary Youth. That's the announcement says there is
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: a priority focus on projects that provide safe spaces for
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: tgd slash non binary youth. Yeah, glaze over your eyes,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: because min remove barriers to participation in healthcare, supports community,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: educate providers in the public on tgd needs, and increased
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: opportunities for tgd slash non binary youth. Alah, the I
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: has signal ninety nine points out. Not everyone is buying
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: the narrative that we're all paying for it, you said,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: she said, In practical terms, does opposed question why the
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: tax dollars should be earmarked for a cause they didn't
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: vote for, especially when other budget needs loom largead roads
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: need repairing, schools need funding. The city pension stressed. Meanwhile,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: that's an understatement, signal a stress city pension. Meanwhile, this
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: program is seen by some is pushing a politically charged
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: agenda rather than strictly a universal health or social service need.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Right broadly speaking, she kind of acknowledges that there's some
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: people that need some help on services out there. Why
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: are they limiting this money just one small slice of
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: the population. The t component of the LGBT, q RSWXYZ
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: group shed we're all for your marketing. Public health funds
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: for mental health therapy generally, but not summer camps, safe spaces,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: legal gender renaming activities and programs, or clothing allowances for
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: kids suffering from genderice. For your issues. It's a very
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: lengthy post. I only read about half of it. She
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: just that makes wonderful, wonderful points, but The reason I
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: even interjected her comments was because apparently the and her
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: that she's got the quotes from Jefferys and the allocation
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: of fundings, the money that went to the Community Shares,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: the outside organization and NNGO, if I might say, was
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: allocated for these programs priorities. We got an election coming up.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Is this an appropriate priority for you? Given the limited
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: number of dollars that we have, Would you rather have
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: some lane miles or roads paved? Would you rather have
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: the money go to mental health generally for all the
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: t troubled youth out there, regardless of which category they
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: fall into in terms of their sexual preferences or their
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: clothing preferences. Yeah, that seems to me to be I
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: don't know. I'm troubled and bothered by that. Bobby and
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Carl are on the phone, and I'm happy to take
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: their calls. Got a pause right now, it's already five
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: twenty six, fifty five KR City talk station. We'll get
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: to phone calls, maybe local stories. I'll go either way,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: but right now it's looking toward phone calls. Be right
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: back fifty five KRC five twenty nine. I didn't even
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: mention who's coming up on the fifty five KRS Morning
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Show before I jump to the phones. Got a few
• 17:32

  Speaker 1: helping out the American veterans, buying them beers all the time.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: You can help them out with that effort empower you.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Jed Harding's going to tour of the Cincinnati Classical Academy

  Speaker 1: that he'll in the programinado five, and then we'll hear
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: from Jay Rhetlift coming up at eight thirty, our favorite
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: iHeart media aviation expert, well the only one, but he's
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: a great guy. Over the phones, got Carl on the
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: line first, Carl, thanks for calling this morning, Welcome to
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: the show.
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Brian say, I've got a public service announcement
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: for everybody. You were talking about early voting. I turned
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: in my absentee ballot request over a month ago. I
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: hand delivered it to the Hamilton County Board of Elections
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: and I still have not received my ballot. So I
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: did call them yesterday. Well, no, first of all, I
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: went to their website and I checked and it said
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: that they had received it, but it didn't say that
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: it was mailed out. So I did call them, and
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: what they're going to be doing is they're going to
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: be sending me another ballot. And the lady there mentioned
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: go ahead and vote on the first ballot that I
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: received and then turn it in. But we've got less
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: than two weeks before the election, so I thought i'd
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: throw that out there. Somebody hasn't received their ballot yet,
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: they can check the website.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Thanks for the heads up, Carl, I didn't realize they
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: were having a problem. I hope it's just an isolated
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: incident for you that got lost in the mail, or
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: maybe some idiot stole it. I don't know, but I'm
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: happy that they at least let you know what was
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: going on.
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: Right then a comment about the police chief Fiji. That
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: story has gone international.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: They are writing about it in the International News or
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: International Business Times, in Singapore news Week and Hindu.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Times, I saw it. I do. You're going to say
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: that for whatever reason, the HINDUO Times has taken a
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: keen interest in the city of Cincinnati. Yes, it is funny,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: it is.
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: And they're doing a much better job at the reporting
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: than our local reporters. For example, The Hindu or the
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: International Business Times mentioned that she is making two hundred
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: and three thousand dollars a year, and I was wondering,
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: how much you know the salary he was of the
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: police chief.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: I saw that reported locally as well, Carl, I have
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: to acknowledge that.
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, okay, I didn't see that.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: I think, honestly, Carl, I think it's irrelevant to the story.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, her salary is her salary. She was making
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: that last year, let's say nothing was going on, and
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: this year, I don't think it becomes a relevant issue
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: because she's been canned or they're leaning toward getting rid
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: of her. But yeah, but it has been reported anyway.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: Okay. Also, I was wondering, who is Mayor Priirval's campaign
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: manager to not advise him that firing the police chief
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: before the election is not a good idea. It's not
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: a good look at all. You know, they're short on
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: police officers in the city of Cincinnati, so they do
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: they get rid of the top cop.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and spend two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: on the LGBTQ safe spaces and I guess newsletter.
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I just heard you say that. Yeah, absolutely ridiculous.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: You could pay a police chief a full year's salary
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: with that money, Carl.
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: Yes, And nobody's mentioned they wasted the money on sending
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: the police chief out to Denver. I assumed the city
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: of Cincinnati paid in advance to help this chief go
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: out there. Sure, there's a fee for that to attend
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: the conference. There's the hotel, room, plane flight, all of that,
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: and then they call her back. They could have left
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: her out there. They could have told her, Hey, when
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: you're out there, ask some questions. See what we can
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: do about the crime problem that we're having in Cincinnati.
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: Maybe some of the other chiefs have some good ideas.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: That's about what we can do here. That's the point
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: of those conventions, to share information and learn best practices,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: what's worked in some areas, what's failed in others. That's
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: the idea of those conferences from my perspective.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and quick comment about former fire Chief Chief Washington.
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: There is a photograph of him out there, and he
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: is dressed in his dress blues, and he is standing
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: next to the presidential limousine with the presidential seal. If
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: his lawyers, oh and of course he's he's got his
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: gold badge on. He looks very handsome. If his lawyers
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: don't get that picture introduced to the jury, they should
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: be disparred. I mean that picture is worth not only
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: a thousand words, it's probably worth one hundred thousand dollars
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: to his case, maybe up to a million.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, we'll see maybe even a millions of fraction
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: of what he's going to get from the City of
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Sincinnta taxpayers when they settle the lawsuit that he will.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's already won. He was wrongfully terminated. It
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: was determined by a judge. So it just becomes a
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: question of what size check. I believe the city's going
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: to write good parts. Carl, appreciate your call this morning. Man.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: There you can get Bobby in real quick, Joe, real quick, Bobby.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Morning Show.
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: Happy Thursday, My brother face flag family farms. You keep those,
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: you always keep your freedom. Yes, sir, well, I got
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: one thing. What's planned B? And it has to do
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: with the mayor, city counts to and everything. We may
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: get a token independent or of somebody on council, but
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: the mayorage is going to hold his position, and the
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: council members, if they got a D next to them,
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: will probably hold theirs.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: So we got some.
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: Of the best listeners and the best course bondings and commentators.
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: What's planned B?
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: When they get right back in office? Does anybody have
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: plan B?
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: It's a legitimate question. Perhaps we'll view it the way
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Derek Hunter, opinion editor over at the town Hall, just
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: except that New York City has lost his conclusion and
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: his op ed piece, why do we care? You probably don't.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: What the hell does anybody care out here beyond the
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: residents of New York City that they're going in that direction?
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Watch them fail. Use it as a cautionary tale down
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: the road for for future campaigns about what not to do.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's what people outside of the city of Cincinnati
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: will be doing relative to the choices that the residents
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: of the City of Cincinnati make in the upcoming election. Wow,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: they went full on leftist again. They re elected a
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: guy who was failing the city. It's only gonna get worse.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Let's sit back, get our popcorn out, as I like
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: to say, and watch the whole thing fall apart. Is
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: that what we want, it may be what we get.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: You have a choice, go ahead and make it. Appreciate
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: the call, Bobby five point thirty six. Tom, you're up next.

• 24:41
  Speaker 1: a very influential person in my life, lives in Cleaves
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: and he asked me to pass along to you. If
• 24:46

• 25:04

• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Thanks for calling this morning. Welcome to the Morning Show.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Appreciate you holding over the break there.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, good morning, and thanks for all the all the
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: good topics there for Carl and Bobby. Good question, Bobby,
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: what will we do in the sort of likely event?
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: But you know, let's let's let's keep our let's keep
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: our hopes up that at the city the citizens of Cincinnati.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: I have realized just how ridiculous these democrats are. I mean,
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: you think of the topics that you had brought up
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: this morning, and just how dumb it is to be
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: funding things that, I mean affect a very very small
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: percentage of people. I'm not saying people don't have problems
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: and issues to deal with, but why is it the
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: public's responsibility to deal with these especially if you're talking
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: about children, that's their parents responsible. You know, maybe we
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: should be less of a financial burden on families as
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: a government, and maybe they'll have extra money so that
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: they can deal with whatever issues their children have, whether
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: it's that kind of issue or any other health or
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: mental issue, whatever. But these these democrats are picking these
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: ridiculous topics because they pull on people's heartstrings and they
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: affect emotion.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Well some people's heart strings to it doesn't work with me.
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean it kind of it affects our emotions
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: because it kind of picks us off that money is
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: being wasted on this stupid stuff, whether it's Green initiatives,
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: whether it's the LGBT community. I mean, it does affect
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: all of us. If we're paying attention, it effects us.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: If we're not, if we're just not even bothering worrying
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: about this stuff and just voting whatever or however, or
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: not even voting at all, then yeah, it doesn't affect
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: But if we're paying attention somewhere or another, we're affected
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: by this and were called to action one wy or another,
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: and to speak to people who are voting for this stuff,
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: who are voting for the people who are in favor
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: of this stuff, use some common sense. It doesn't make
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: any sense to be dealing with Green Initiative, Like you said,
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: I mean, why are we wasting our time with this?
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we're talking about That's the easiest one
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: as far as I'm concerned to focus on. Now, how
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: they out of the letter Salad chows trans people to
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: allocate funding for mental health resources. I'm not quite sure
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: if that's fair to the other people that are struggling
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: in our life's margins financially, who are not trans and
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: yet are struggling mental health. But that can be put
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: aside and let's focus on the whole green thing. Noting
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: that China puts out in twelve days carbon dioxide the
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: carbon dioxide output of Australia for an annual carbon dioxide output,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: that point alone illustrates these absolute outright stupidity of Cincinnati
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: engaging in any green project period.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: Well, I'll hardly agree with that. That's why I'm saying,
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: you're bringing these topics up, and it's making it obvious
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: how absurd it is that we're that we're trying to
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: do or at least they're making it sound like they're
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: trying to do things, and it's it's it's dumb. And
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: if you want to make create some safe spaces and
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: you why not spend money on police officers, Maybe people
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: like Holly would feel like that, you know, maybe they
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: could use a safe space, you know, and have a
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: couple of extra police officers downtown so people aren't acting
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: stupidly and violently because there's a police officer around. About
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: how about some safe spaces for the residents and maybe
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: visitors to the city who are going to spend their
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: money and actually help economically instead of throwing it. And
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: it causes that that are not our responsibility as a public.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: It doesn't make any sense, so obviously the responses don't
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: vote Democrat.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Have a great day, Brian, Thanks Tom, you do the same.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Five three two three talk absent phone Friday, Congress Baren
• 29:10

• 29:19
  Speaker 1: homemade granola. Oh, it's off the charts good and nutritions
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: and doesn't have any preservatives or additives. Anyway, Over the
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: locals or over to the stack of stupid, and we
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: start with the local story. Guys been arrested after Fairfield
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: students a board of school bus witnessed him touching himself.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Fairfield Township Police Department said Brandon Kohlenberg. Brandon's forty three.

• 30:29
  Speaker 1: traffic cameras, and cameras on the bus all help them
• 30:31

• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Uh and finally we go to apparently South Korea. Bizarre

• 33:03
  Speaker 1: cockroach city of Osan, resulting in the death of a neighbor,
• 33:07

• 33:34
  Speaker 1: thick smoke blocked the escape routes. Lesson to be learned here,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: don't do that. It's doing idiot things because they're idiots
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: plenty coming up. Oh look, I guess it's police Chiefdiji's
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: and employment at will employee. They don't need cause to
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: fire her. Huh. Well, as we dive into detail of that,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: think about this, Well, wait a second, why would they
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: get rid of her. They can't come up with a
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: reason for having put her on unpaid or on paid
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: administrative leave. I'm confused by everything that's going on in
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnati. More to talk about coming up.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Your phone calls are always welcome. It's five fifty six

• 34:22
  Speaker 1: you to stick around all morning.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: For now.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Congressman Warren Davidson returns with the latest on the government shutdown. Yeah,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: it's still shutdown. I don't know, seeming to be optimistic
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: about topic number two, which is written down getting rid
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: of the irs question mark, Hm, dream about that? Giving
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine? Question mark, No, I don't think so.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: I think that's a stick of fork in that concept.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: It's done, although we will see see that landscape seems
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: to change daily. Matt Damaris Vets and Bruce. Matt Damarus
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: is going to return buying beers four veterans Noble Cause.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: So if you want to buy a beer for beer
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: for a veteran, you donate a little bit of contribution
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: to Matt de Maris. He make sure that there's these
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: donation boxes in the various bars that help out with
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: the Vets and Bruce program. And he does a honor
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: bus every year. It's Honor Bus twenty twenty five, and
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Matt's going to show up at seven thirty in studio
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: to talk about this year's honor bus I've been on that.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: It's a lot of fun. Thankfully they let me go,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: even though I'm not a veteran empower you. Jed Harding's
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: going to join the program at eight to oh five
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: tour the Cincinnati Classical Academy. Good thing to do. You
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: have education choices fortunately here in the state of Ohio,
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: and if I had a young person, I would get
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: in that really really really long line and hopefully get
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: the benefit of that child. My child having a Cincinnai
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Classical Academy education. It wasn't around when my children went
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: to school, although they seem to have done okay with
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: public education thanks to the Loveland Schools. Anyway, Jay Ratliffe,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: I heard me. The aviation expert joins us at eight thirty,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Looking forward to that as always always fun topics with
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Jay Ratliffe. Feel free to steer the topic of conversation
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: here by calling five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three talk
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: pound five fifty on at and T phones. Wait a minute,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: maybe she doesn't have a contract that requires a four
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: cause termination. Fox nineteen. Jennifer Edwards Baker says a December
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two letter signed by police chief well on administratively,
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Teresa Thiji isn't in line with her attorney's statement the
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: other day which he said she can only be terminated
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: if there's cause. Remember he claimed that as an employee
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: for more than six months, she's subject to well the
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: collective bargaining provisions or something along those lines. Anyway that
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: required cause. In other words, there has to be a reason.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: She's not employment at will, which is what most people
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: in Ohio are. Not all states have employment at will.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: But if your boss comes in and fires you, in
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: most cases they don't need a reason. Sorry, we're just
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: letting you go, so cause or no cause. So Fox
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: nineteen got a copy of this data December twenty twenty two.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Is document apparently signed by Fiji from the City of Cincinnati,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: where she acknowledges the position of police chief is what
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: they call an unclassified position. It explains in writing in
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: this case Thiji quote accepting unclassified positions serve at the
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: pleasure of the appointing authority and can be dismissed from
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: employment without cause at any time. Unclassified employees are not
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: recognized under this civil service system, and I think that's
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: what the attorney was hanging his hat on, and are
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: therefore not afforded civil service protections and or hearing scranted
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: classified employees. So a bit of a wrinkle developing here,
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: we'll see, and then pivoting over, I'm still unclear. Maybe
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: you're clear, and that's why I invite you to give
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: me a call, because I can't stay up on all
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: the reporting on everything in the world. It's literally impossible.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Has anybody ever articulated a reason why police Chiefdji was
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: asked to step away, asked to resign maybe a subject
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: to getting fired, whether it's for cause or not. What's
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: the reason? Is it just crime in the city and
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: we need escapegoat to blame someone for crime? Does Police
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Chief Theji, or did she when she was actively police chief,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: have any leeway regarding policing policies? That seems like a
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: stupid question to even ask. Well, she's chief of police,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: of course she's got some leeway. But that's not what
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: been rumbling behind the scenes. Because we do have a
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: woke administration. We do have a mayor and a council,
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: most of whom were you know, pro rethinking the police
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: when that was all the rage you know, the post
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: George Floyd world we live in, and oh my god,
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: police are all terrible racists. We need to take money
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: away from the police, rethink it and give the money to, oh,
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know, some non governmental organization who's gonna I
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: don't know, engage in some therapy session on the street
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: or something. The point being not police officers doing police
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: officer work, in other words, resting people to have committed
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: crimes and sort of presenting a display in order to
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: maintain public sas safety just by virtue of their visual presence.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Did she have any authority to do anything? And that's
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: what's actually gonna come out if this goes anywhere litigation
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: or otherwise, these conversations that we all presume happened behind
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: the scenes between Purval Cheryl Long and the police chief,
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: or maybe Iris Rawley was in the room. I don't know.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: We're gonna have to find out. But as of right now,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: one day she's police chief, and you know, in the
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: preceding weeks is getting you know, pats on the back
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: and rave reviews, and now she's doing a great job.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: YadA YadA, YadA YadA. Next thing you know, the lights
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: are turned off. Why does anybody know why? And the
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: reason I labor that point, Scott Wartman to the Inquirer
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: is reporting that Mayor I have to have par Baal
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: said he expects the city's internal investigation into the police
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: chief to last months. Stead addressing the media off to
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: city council meeting yesterday, Purvoll said he could not offer
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: details about the internal investigation, referring questions this is great,
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: how convenient, referring questions to the city manager Cheryl Long,
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: who the mayor is saying is the one that made
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: the decision to place Diji on paid administrative leave. I
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: heard him say that the other day. It's like, what
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Perval and the city manager are the ones that have
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: controlled over her destiny. They hired her and they can
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: fire her. That's a two person decision making process. I
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: presume Cheryl Long didn't go off on her own and
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: let the police chief go or put Parker on the
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: side without mayor have to have Provoll's express approval. So
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: he likes to kind of dodge that, Oh, city Manager,
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: I stand by the city manager's decision yet, and you
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: stand by your own damn decision, Aftab just say it
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: out loud, but what are they investigating? Have to have
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: pro ball. I can't reveal the details about the investigation. Okay,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: well that's convenient. You need to go to city Manager
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: Cheryl Long to get questions about that quote. The city
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: manager's office declined to comment. I know this goes on
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: in politics all the time. It reminds me of like
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: everything that happened in Biden's White House. Biden won't answer
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: the question. Biden' press secretary won't answer the question, refers
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: it over to the Department of Justice. Now you got
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: to ask the Department of Justice about that. You go
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: to the Department of Justice. We don't discuss ongoing investigations.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: It's a circular pleasure exercise, if you can read between
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: the lines of that statement. So what are they investigating?
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Question mark? We don't know? Why is it gonna take months?
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: Don't know? Why was police chief three? Soy Thigi? Let
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: go don't know? And I suppose you know if you
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: draw the conclusions that I'm drawing the investigation, if they
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: really are doing one will lead them to conclude. Whoever
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: the investigators are, Let's hope it's independent council, not swayed
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: by politics. Like that's gonna happen. It'll lead them right
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: back to we have to have Parwall's office in city
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: Manager Cheryl Long's office, where they will have concluded that
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: Purvoll and Long are the ones that told police Chief
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: Fiji how to run her job and how to allocate resources,
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: and that it was completely out of her hands because
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: while she listened to what they had to say, and
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: then here here's the next jump, we decided to park
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Threesadij place her on administrative leave, otherwise fire her, get
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: her to resign because she was such a poor police chief.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: She actually listened to what the mayor and the city
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: manager said, heeded their advice in terms of allocating police resources,
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: which resulted in maybe statistically an increase of crime. Or
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: we can draw conclusions that the failure of the police
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: apartment's allocation of resources resulted in some crime hotspots in
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: the city. That was a dumb decision, a decision made
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: by the current mayor and the current city manager. That's
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: my conclusion right now. But we're all in the collectively,
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: and I'm sure it's no coincidence that we've been collectively
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: left in the dark her to call her earlier, everyone
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: can equally observe, really really really stupid for the mayor
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: to go down this road or the city manager to
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: go down this road in advance of the election. It's
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: two weeks away. People are gonna draw conclusions about it.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: It may impact the outcome of the election. I don't know,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: but timing seems really really stupid. And what makes it
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: really really stupid is because of the secrecy now that's
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: surrounding it. If you had a legitimate reason to fire her,
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: you'd have set it out loud. I'm doing this for
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: the best interests of the city of Cincinnati. We have
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: determined XYZ and that police Chief Dji's responsible for x
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: y Z, all of which you're bad or maybe provide
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: a basis for her being fired or whatever. Don't you
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: think if you're a politician in that position, you're any
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: responsible human being. If you're answerable to the people that
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: you purport to represent, you give them the straight answer.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: That will be me anyway. Six twenty fifty five KCD
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: talk station five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five hundred,
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: eight hundred and eighty two to three talk times five
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: fifty on eighteen T phones. Going over to the phones
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: right now, I'll see what Mississippi James has got today.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: Welcome back, James. Always good to hear from you, sir.
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: Good morning, sir. Come in peace, love everybody. There's nothing
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: you can do about it.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: Live a peaceful life with that attitude, James.
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: Now I'm listening at you and you talk about this
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: circle of thinking, and that's a good point. It's a
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: big circle. A lot of interest and exits on this
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: big old circle depends on where you get in at top,
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: the bottom, the middle, size, you know, and people have
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: an opinion coming from where they get into this circle.
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: All right, I want to talk about the circle of
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: the public school counseling, the yellow school buses and Metro
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: funneled all these kids downtown on that Government Square that
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: was like a Walton that's just waiting to explode. And
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: when I was rolled at what she's doing down there
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: for the last two three years. And I'm speaking from
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: experience because I volunteered down there and she and we
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: got a bunch of high school, middle school kids, you know,
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: coming from all parts of the city at one time,
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: and they would do what teenage kid would do. Now, Yeah,
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: it may look disrupted to the downtown business, to the people.
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: They was running playing clowning. Police get involved, maybe the
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: kids say, well, I'm not doing anything wrong. Well, that's
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: sort of like disobeying the direct order. So I think
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: iris given the circumstance that she did a decent job
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: for my volunteer. Now, people that have not volunteered to
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: just listen to the circle of talking on the political
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: scene that we're into now trying to destroy this lady
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: when she actually deserve a little credit. I'm not saying praise,
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: but she stepped into something that was created by canceling
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: the yellow school buses. And once again I went down
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: and volunteered two or three times, so I saw firsthand
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: the potential for calamity to down here.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: So what I'm hearing, Okay, let me see if I'm
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: walking through this correctly with you here, James, I mean,
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: you could see a mile away point well taken by
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: consolidating all of these young people from different areas of
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: town into one central area, which is government square for
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: pick up and drop off on the buses, that's the
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: recipe for disaster. Because let's face it, they're teenagers. We
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: know how teenagers are. So are you suggesting that because
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: of they the powers that be created that atmosphere which
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: led to crime. Iris Rowllie's job in part with allocating funds.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: She got allocated funds to deal with the problem of
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: government square or the crimel problem, and that she did
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: do some good in the aftermath of that consolidation of
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: young people. Are you saying what we witness because we
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: continue to witness crime in that area. It hasn't gone away.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: You're saying what Irish really did made it less of
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: a problem that it would have been, even though it
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: is a problem still.
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: Yes, okay, it's less of a problem. And by me volunteer.
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: So to other people that's talking, I hope they speaking
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: from experience instead of just in this political climate where
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: we're looking to create whether you you know, Democrat, Republic
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: or whatever, you need to come down and see for yourself.
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: Volunteers speak from existing us. I mean from experience, experience.
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: I say this all the time, but most people will
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: not well they'll pick up they finel vactim thinking point.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: I can't. I can't argue with that logic. You know,
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: if you really want to know what's going on, you
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: got to go down there and live the experience in
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: some way or another. Whether you're a volunteer, whether you
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: live downtown maybe experience what it's life and downtown. I
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: get it, But what specifically are you Because we can't
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: say with certainty that the problem wouldn't or that would
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: have been much worse had it not been for the
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: efforts of Iris Roller. We don't know. Because she has
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: been engaged for a while with whatever activity she has
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: been doing. Now you give her credit, what specifically do
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: you give her credit for that you believe laed to
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: less of a problem? What specifically what actions did she take?
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: Well, she's sort of like a mother Hen over these kids,
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: and she's very active down there, jumping from group to
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: group talking to him. So it's that mother Hen type nurse,
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: and that she did to keep these kids at bay.
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: There was no magic peel bullet or whatever that legally
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: that she was able to do. She came in as
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: that mother Hen with a bunch of little what chicken
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: chick lit bit is whatever you want to And I'm
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: using that as a metaphor from a country boy.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: I understand that, James, it makes perfect sense. And you
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: were not in a paid position in your volunteer work
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: down there, correct, No, Okay? And you. I'm imagining giving
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: your comments on the radio show, and your wisdom and
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: your knowledge and life experience. You were down there, maybe
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: as a grandfatherly figure or in something in that capacity,
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: trying to counsel the youth and interact with them.
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, Now, if there were more people like you that
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: we're willing to do that on a voluntary basis, then
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: we wouldn't need an Irish role, and we wouldn't need
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: her five hundred and eighty thousand dollars contract. We wouldn't
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: need her son on the city payroll, indirectly as it
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: may be, doing work on government square. Shouldn't we as
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: a community collectively care about what's going on in counsel
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: our youth and provide that guidance and expertise and experience
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: that our life experience can only provide. That's the obligation
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: of every human being. And if you're a parent, that's
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: your damn responsibility. You're the one that's supposed to be
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: doing that. So we don't need to pay the Irish
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: rollies of the world to keep our kids in line
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: because they're unruly and have no ethics and morals and
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: run them up and do stupid things. That's my take
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: on it.
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: That's true. But when the school stopped, it stopped the
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: school bus. That created a new situation that no one
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: was ridded.
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: But you're so right on that. And why do we
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: use the metro buses to get the kids back and
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: forth from school? It's always comes down to a cost thing.
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: Parents can't get their kids to school. They don't have
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: the resources, they don't have the funds, they don't have
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: their own car. Whatever it happens to be used to
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: be yellow school buses, which was an additional charge. I
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: remember my mom writing a check to the school bus company.
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: You know, it was back in the seventies. It wasn't
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: that much, but whatever, you had to pay for the transportation.
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: Because some children, some families can't pay for the transportation.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: We got to come up with another solution. Can't have
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: the school bus, the yellow school buses. We have this
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: metro system which is underutilized. Let's put the kids on
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: metro buses. What about the transfer. We got to find
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: a place to the transfer. Then it comes government square.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: So you see governmental solutions to the problem ultimately create
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: the chaos on government square. We have think we're back
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: in that circular pleasure fest I alluded to earlier James
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: Talk station. Thank you, Maureen. I was asking out loud,
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: why was police chief three g let go call her?
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: Let go caller and the ministry whatever? What led to that?
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: What was the point? Nothing out there by way of
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: information unless Maureene is onto something I had forgot about
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: the lawsuit that was filed against her, specifically in the
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati, claiming they discriminated against white people. This
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: goes back to I think the lawsuit was filed in May.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: Officers involved in a federal lawsuit or white guys. They
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: claim Fiji favors women and people of color when making
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: assignment decisions, claim they were skipped over for assignments that
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: are considered career enhancing. Lawsuit claiming that out of the
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: Cincinni Police departments female lieutenants, eighty nine percent were given
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: preferred assignments. Seventy nine percent of minority lieutenants also got
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: preferred assignments, compared to forty four percent of white male
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: lieutenants being given preferred assignments. Now you may say, well, whatever,
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: but when you look at the contingent of white versus
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: women and people of color, sixty five percent of the
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: lieutenants are white, thirty five percent are women or people
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: of color. So statistically it does seem that they may
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: have a good argument here. Now could it be that
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: I have to have purvol is afraid of this lawsuit?
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: And could it be the police chief three Thiji's assignment allocation,
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: which let's say preferred women and people of color over
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: white guys, was a directive from the mayor and the
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: city manager. So ultimately, if the if Thiji was following
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: their directive to engage in I guess diversity hires, the
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: whole equity thing, the color chart. You don't have enough
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: black people there, you don't have enough women there. Whatever.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: If the hiring decisions were not based on merit was
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: that police chief three Thiji's idea or did she answer
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: to her boss when making well basically employment decisions. I mean,
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: if you've got a boss at work, you want to
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: do one thing, and a lot of people complain about
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: their management.
• 53:15
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: Have you ever been in a business and work for
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: someone you complain about them? Jeeus, If I was in
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: that job, I do things a lot better. But then
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: you're going to have to do what they tell you
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: to do. Anyway she does report to them, She's not
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: just on top of of the totem poll that will
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: be have to have pervol with Cheryl long right underneath him.
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: Go ahead and use that as a visual paint that
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: in your head. So maybe that's it, Maureen. You could
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: be onto something that's as close as I've heard so
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: far to something that makes actual, you know, rational sense.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: So we're not going to get the answer to that
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: question before the election, that you might want to factor
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: it into your voting decisions as you head on into
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: the polls. I mentioned early voting is in play right now,
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: six thirty five, right now, if you have k CEDE
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: talk station, something else you might want to do. My
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: folks out see the talk station. It's six forty here
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: for five ker City talk station. Uh, it's widely reported.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: I just want to kind of put a thought in
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: your head of kind of something. I just come to
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: the conclusion here lots and lots of reporting of late
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: about all of these multi, multi millions of dollars flowing
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: into the riots. Basically, I'm gonna boil it down to that.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: Some are calling it riot incorporated. You've got millions of dollars.
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: Arabella network from seventy nine point seven million dollars, seventy
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: two point one from the Soros Empire, fifty one point
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: seven million from the Ford Foundation, forty five and a
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: half million from the Tides Foundation, Rockefeller based organizations shoving
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: in almost thirty million dollars, Buffet Foundation showing all in.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: It all goes into these funds, and it all funds
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of these this network of what I'm gonna
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: call a bunch of terrorists, communists, Antifa, bolm and of
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: course segue over to no Kings, it's sort of mutes
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: all along. If the first one, the ones I remember
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: at first was Antifa and the occupied I think during
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: the Trump's first administration, camped out downtown in the middle
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: of the streets. They were all over the place, staking
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: the place up and you know, taking up space and
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: just generally being a hippie like nuisance. And it kind
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: of faded a little bit. I know, they're still out there.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: Then he had BLM George Floyd, Right, oh my god,
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: everybody taking it to the streets. Let's paint them rainbow
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: on the street. Let's paint black lives matter. No, only
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: black lives matter. If you dare interject the concept of
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: people matter or lives generally matter. You were ridiculed as
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: being a racist or something. Fine. Didn't make any sense
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: to me, But whatever we live through that that seems
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: to have faded away, most notably amid a whole swirling
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: concerns about corruption within the Black Lives Matter organization. Have
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: the leaders of the organization not committed to the communism
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: that they expoused on their website, but more committed to
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: a commercial capitalist like lifestyle, buying up million dollar homes
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: and doing weird things with their money. Money that was
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: donated to an organization that the donors thought was going
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: to go to a broader, larger purpose like maybe cleaning
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: up neighborhoods or making black lives matter, something that will
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: lead to a betterment of the black live condition. And
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: I stumbled upon this Christopher Ruffo, who is a fellow
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: with the Manhattan Institute, and he did an op ed
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: piece and it was really it was sad and depressing
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: but revealing at the same time. Here, let me just
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: read it to you because I think it's important. So
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: he is riding this first person. When I arrived in Minneapolis,
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: the frost just lifted a great clouds hung low over
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: the horizon. I had come to make a pilgrimage to
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: George Floyd Square, where the Revolution of twenty twenty began.
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: It's been more than five years since George Floyd lost
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: his life and became a patron saint of the left,
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: and I wanted to see what had happened here since then.
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: The square is situated in a Rundown intersection that now
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: features a statue of a clenched black fist in the
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: central roundabout. On one corner standza mini market called Unity
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: Foods formerly Cup Foods, where George Floyd passed the counterfeit
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: bills that set off the chain of events that culminated
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: him his death. Across the street is an abandoned gas
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: station that's been covered in graffiti and protest slogan since
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: the initial unrest. A group of vagrants had lit a
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: bonfire in a metal drum beneath the gas station canopy,
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: and when I asked them about Floyd, they avoided the question.
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: They weren't interested in politics. They'd chosen that spot to
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: light fires, fence stolen goods, and smoke fentanyl because it
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: was peaceful and nobody bothered them. And the friends of
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: the year of twenty twenty, politicians in Minneapolis and the
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: Minnesota state government made grand promises about what George Floyd
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: Square would become. They purchased property and a pledge of
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: and pledged monuments. Then as the years passed, the political
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: will evaporated and everything ground to a halt. One city
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: official told me the neighborhood wanted to reopen for business,
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: while political leaders wanted to preserve the square as an
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: ideological symbol. The result, nobody got what he wanted. The
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: scars of the revolution remained. The intersection of thirty eighth
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: and Chicago Avenue now is an eerie feeling, as if
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: the George Floyd moment were frozen in time. As shattered
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: window at Unity Foods has remained unrepaired for five years,
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: the graffiti and the bus stop shelters has started a
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: chip and peel. The slogans scrawled on the gas station
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: walls or fading reminders of the naive embulance of that
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: early moment. As I walked around, I spotted two smartly
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: dressed white women who appeared to be visiting the square
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: as one might a religious shrine, striking up a conversation.
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: I learned that one was a Minneapolis resident, the other,
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: her sister, was visiting from New York City. They wanted
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: to pay the respects to Floyd. They seem to be
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: trying not to show fear at the visible homelessness and disorder.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: When I asked the woman about Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frye,
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: the woman said no comment. She instead shifted a conversation
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: to President Trump, who she said, was, in her words,
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: clawing back all of the progress that have been made
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: towards social justice. I was dumbfounded. George Floyd Square was
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: a single street corner of Minneapolis, fully under the jurisdiction
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: of law, local and state authorities who had five years
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: to fulfill their promises and turn the square into something more.
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: But rather than address this obvious failure, both women blamed
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: Trump for the fact that racial justice had not materialized.
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: One man was still trying to do something about it.
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: He called himself Maestro, presided over a community garden sprawled
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: along the street outside Unity Foods. He spoke with the nervous,
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: rapid cadence of an addict. After pressing me for a donation,
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: Maestro said that the white man continues to promise justice
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: but only exploits the black man. Instead of waiting for
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: the white city officials to transform the square, he had
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: taken it upon himself to evict the homeless campers from
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: the bus stop shelter and to bring dozens of potted
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: flowers along the road. Maestro had known Floyd from the
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: time hustling together on the streets. He seemed to be
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: the only one who remembered him in an idealistic way.
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: Reggae music throbbed from a bluetooth speaker as he dashed
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: madly from plant to plant with a watering can. It
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: looked like at his greenhouse. I told him that if
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: he kept his plants tightly inside, some might survive the winner.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: Whenever a white person class passed by, he hectored them
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: with a QR code, linking them to his Venmo account.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: The scene saddened me. I never supported the George Floyd Revolution,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: and I knew it wouldn't end with I knew it
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: would end with disappointment, But to witness that disappointment firsthand
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: still stirred a sense of pity. The political leaders who
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: turned that summer's events into a multi billion dollar activist
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: apparatus never build anything that would last. The fury they
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: unleashed remains visible in the abundant storefronts, burned out corners
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: of cities like Minneapolis. The promises of social justice has
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: vanished into memory. There remains some true believers like Maestro,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: but in the centers of power, the activists have already
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: moved on to the next revolution. Hence the reason I
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: outlined this and if followed by you know, black lives matter,
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: followed by you this no king's thing. We're in evolution
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: number three or four. Back to his points, may Or
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: Fry struggling to salvage his reelection campaign with promises of
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: a fordability, while his opponent, left wing Somali politician Omar
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: Fata vows to deliver the racialist revolution promised in twenty twenty.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: I left Minneapolis that night for New York City, which
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: has its own mayoral race featuring choices ranging from bad
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: to worse. Many residents have seemingly forgotten the damage bad
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: leadership can do to a city, and a contest between
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: Fry and Fata, the most productive outcome would be for
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: both to lose, but inevitably one will win and doing
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: so make Minneapolis worse, and neither I would wager will
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: build a monument at George Floyd Square. Excellent points, colossal protests,
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: promises of the moon and the stars. Moving on to
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: the next version of the Revolution, you feel like you
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: got your money's worth. Coming up on six forty eighty
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: five KRC the talk station and Opportunity it's six point
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: fifty two coming with six fifty three five KRCD talk station. Yeah.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: I've had this story in my hands since Monday, and
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: since I only have a couple of minutes in this segment,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: I'm just so really really disgusted and disturbed by this,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to go to Colorado on this one.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: They have a clinic now that offers and really is
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: proud of this, and this is what is so disgusting
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: about it. Organization called RISE Reproductive Health, Inclusive Care, Support
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: and Empowerment now one of I guess around five clinics
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: in the United States which offers abortion up to thirty
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: four weeks of gestation. And I paused for a moment.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: I just I always think of my children. Both of
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: my children were born at eight months. Both of my
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: children were born as healthy as a nine month old gestation.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: They just wanted to get out. They were ready to
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: get life going. Why would you? I mean, I can't
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: describe this as anything other than murder. You had its
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: fetal viability, what is it twenty four weeks now the
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: baby can live outside of the womb. I mean that
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: you no longer have this whole state involvement kind of thing.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: The old argument is, well, where's the feet is going
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: togest it? You're gonna put it in a box. You
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: can't remove a baby from a woman who wants to
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: abort it. It's a complicating issue. It's how they came
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: up with a concept to try mesters in that Roe v.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: Wade decision, which intruded on well all states rights because
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: it isn't mentioned in the Constitution. But states have gone
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: their own way, and apparently in Colorado you can kill
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: a baby up to nine months in Boulder, car This
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: is an announcement in Boulder, Colorado, a place with a
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: historic legacy of all trimester abortion care. A new chapter
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: is rising at Rise collective. We believe that any reason
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: you have for needing an abortion care is yours and
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: it's the right one. Well, how about this is an option?
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: Since the baby's alive and can walk around basically on it.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: So why not induce labor, give birth, and let somebody
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: adopt the baby rather than just killing it? Pre viability
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: At least you can make this conceptual argument. And I
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: don't want to get into a discussion where life begins.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: Everyone has their own attitude about that. But since the
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: baby can't live outside of the womb, the whole point
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: of is that the state can't come in and take
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: it and you know, bring it all the way through
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: gestation where it's viable. I said, women's control thing. But
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: you know, if the baby can why would you do that?
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just pleading with the world. Why don't
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: you consider that I can imagine induced pregnancy or induced
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: a birth can't be really much more of a challenge
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: than well, slaughtering a baby that could live outside of
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: the one while it's in the womb. Point made Sorry,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: I had to get that out of my system. Six
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: fifty five. Let's see what Congressman Warren Davidson has to
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: say after the top of the hour news get the
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: latest on the shutdown? Can we get rid of the irs?
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: And are we gonna give Tomahos missiles to the Ukrainians? Matt,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: Damars Vets and Bruce will be in studio. Great guy
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: Matt is helping out the American veteran. We got Honor
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: Bus twenty twenty five. He's gonna tell us all about it.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: I hope you can stay. Today's top headlines coming up
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: at the top of the hour. Everything will change in
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: a moment's moon. I can be heard f KRC Talk
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: Station seven o six, the Big About KRC DE Talk
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: Station or a Happy Friday, d to you. Great day
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: to be listening to Big About Darsey warning shit this
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: moment in time, the return of Congressman Warren Davidson. We
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: do have some good members of CORES. He is one
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: of them. At least that's my subjective opinion. I think
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: it's an opinion shared widely by my listeners. And thanks
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: to the folks that he represents for voting him into
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: office time and time again. Welcome back, Congressman Davidson. It's
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: always great to have you on the fifty five KRC
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: Morning Show.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 9: Always an honor. Thanks Brian, good to talk.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: So the governments still shut down? Have I missed any
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: news breaking their Congressman Davidson.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it is in fact still shut down. I mean,
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 9: so you know a lot of people are coming up
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 9: to me going, well, this is great. I don't really
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 9: notice anything. People that live closer to write Patterson Air
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 9: Force Base, if not directly, affuc that have a friend
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 9: or family member that works at the base, and some
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 9: of them are people that are considered quote not essential.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 9: People are like, well, why do we have non essential
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 9: workers in the first place? Well, right, Patterson Air Force
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 9: Base largest employer in the state, and the Air Force
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 9: procurement hub is at right Patterson Air Force Base. When
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 9: you buy stuff for the Air Force, you know in
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 9: the show, if they buy it this afternoon, but you've
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 9: got to buy it eventually. So you know, those are
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 9: people that are quote furlough. They're not at work today.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 9: The military people that write Patterson your Force base are
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 9: at work, but then they're working on any procurement stuff.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 9: Their productivity is totally disrupted because the people that they
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 9: need to work with day in and day out, who
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 9: are civilians, aren't at work in a lot of cases.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 9: So you know, those kinds of things go on, they're
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 9: going to be more and more felt, and it's certainly
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 9: going to be more noticeable when at the end of
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 9: the month, a lot of people.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: Don't get paid, well, no question, they're going to start
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: feeling the sting of that now, are there. My understanding
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: is that most government employees have resources available to them
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: where they can get no interest loans from banks because
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: the banks know full well that they are going to
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: get paid and fully reimbursed once the government opens back up,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: so it's a no risk loan for them. Is that
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: a widely available thing, so people aren't literally not eating
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: or incapable of paying their rent that kind of thing.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 9: Yeah, Yeah, those resources are out there. Everyone's communicating that
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 9: to employees, including the companies that want their business. But
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 9: if they don't already have an account with you know,
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 9: USA Navy, Federal Credit Union, Congressional Credit Union, you know,
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 9: et cetera, all those kinds of things, and a lot
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 9: of normal privacy right, credit union will do the same
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 9: for a lot of people. You know, a lot a
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 9: lot of banks will do it even you know, depending
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 9: on your relationship with them and the fact that you
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 9: have direct depositive with a government paycheck, they know the
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 9: money's going to eventually be there. So you know, we're
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 9: working right now obviously occasionally trying to convince Democrats that
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 9: they should change their mind. I think a lot of
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 9: people are rooting for the congressional staffers on the Senate
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 9: Democrats staff to say, hey, boss, you know, maybe we
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 9: should consider the CR thing since the ended want approaches.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 9: But in the meantime, you know, right now, if we
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 9: head past the CR and Democrats have just said okay,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 9: we would be right now doing hearings and meetings and
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 9: working on appropriations so that come November twenty first, we
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 9: don't need another CR. We've actually got everything funded on time.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 9: So you know, that's what brings me to DC this
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 9: week working on legislation, trying to make sure that we
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 9: have our ducks in a row so that we know
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 9: what we want funded, what the priorities are, because we're
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 9: going to have to run a faster playbook if we
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 9: ever get open. But in some of the collaboration on
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 9: a non appropriations bill is working with a Democrat colleague
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 9: to strategize how we might get this across the finish line,
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 9: and they're like, well, you know, if it's not open
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 9: by mid November, you know, it's kind of going to
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 9: push us probably into twenty twenty six before we can
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 9: even get a vote on the floor and you're like, wow, okay,
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 9: well thanks for talking about topic X. But interesting perspective
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 9: on the shutdown. So I think mentally there are a
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 9: lot of Democrats that are like, yeah, I mean, we're
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 9: not upset that Republicans haven't held hearings and aren't making
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 9: progress on their agenda. So it's really up to the
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 9: public to persuade Democrats to say, you know, you've got
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 9: to open it up, or it's up to the Senate
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 9: to say, Okay, this sixty vote rule probably has to
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 9: go away on appropriations because they've got a majority of
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 9: the Senate, they just don't have that sixty vote rule.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 9: And that isn't actually even on the bill that it's
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 9: called cloture. It's like the rules. They say, all right,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 9: we're going to have a vote on X on the topic,
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 9: and they need sixty votes to get that done. Well,
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 9: if they see what happens.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, do you see any cracks in the dam on
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: the Democrats side? I guess I'm kind of wondering if
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: anybody takes the moment in time to look at this
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: logically and reasonably, they would understand that the cr is
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: Biden era funding level. You didn't do anything to interrupt
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: that level of funding. That was their level of funding,
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: So they don't have any to complain about keeping things
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: as status quo on that now. I know the Big
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: Beautiful Bill did some things they were very unhappy with,
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: but a Republican shouldn't be unringing that bell. The Democrats
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: are responsible for the deadline of the subsidies. They incorporated
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: that into what was the Inflation Reduction Act. It was
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: an extension that put took it to the end of
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: this year. They have no one to blame for themselves
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: for ending the subsidies in the original legislation, you know,
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: something that was a big red flag that's been waving
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: since the moment Biden signed that into law. So it
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: you know, and just get there of another so you
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: can do the work to get the twelve appropriations bills
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: fully passed. I don't get it. Is there any like
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: poll out there that you can rely on. Is there
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: any perception that you've reached that the American public is
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: painfully aware this is squarely in the Democrats' hands.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 9: I think that's what the polling shows. But you know,
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 9: there are people that will still try to blame Republicans
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 9: well of course, you have a control of the House,
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 9: the Senate and the White House, and the controlled media
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 9: will publish whatever the Democrats tell them to.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: Overlooking the sixty vote majority needed in the Senate. I
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: mean that goes back to the rules, And that was
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: what my next question was going to be, Congressman Davidson.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: Is that where we're headed to get rid of that?
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 9: You know, I think some of the Democrats want that
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 9: because they were trying to get it done in the
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 9: first place, yep. And they want Republicans to break the
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 9: day on that so they don't have to take the
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 9: blame for breaking it, you know. But for oh gosh,
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 9: I'm drawing her name from Arizona and mansion from West Virginia.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 9: They had two Democrats that didn't go along with the plan.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 9: They were going to pack the clerks, recognize Puerto Rico
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 9: and DC estates and all kinds of stuff right with
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 9: civil majorities. But you had two Democrats that didn't go
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 9: along with the plan to break the sixty vote rule.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 9: So I think that that this is part of the
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 9: play for Democrats, is they want Republicans to break the
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 9: sixty vote rules so that if they ever get you know,
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 9: back into RL of the Senate. They can do everything
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 9: with the cimpral majority in the Senate, So that's that's
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 9: that's at play here. There are a lot of people
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 9: that feel like the sixty vote rule is an important
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 9: time on our tradition, it does develop some form of consensus.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 9: But the idea that to your point, this isn't like
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 9: the Republican Appropriation Package, it, you know, massively changes funding
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 9: on our regular appropriations process. We haven't got that done yet.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 9: We're still negotiating that. And the CR is just status
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 9: quote funding what they voted for when Joe Biden was
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 9: president and they controlled the Senate. So this is the
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 9: first time ever that anyone is used the leverage of
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 9: votes to shut down the government over status quo funding.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 9: People have had objections over a priority or another and
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 9: said well I'm not going to give my vote to that,
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 9: and that resulted in a shutdown. But this is the
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 9: first time that it was well, okay, we're going to
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 9: call a truce and just do status quo as we
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 9: negotiate all these things, and then the other party said, well,
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 9: we'll just shut it down. So the problem is Democrats
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 9: are being rewarded for it with their base and a
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 9: lot of a lot of public quotes. I mean the
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 9: whip the Democrat up Clark from Massachusetts. She's out there saying, yeah,
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 9: we're fine with it if it causes some suffering. This
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 9: is going to create leverage for us. It's very intentional play,
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 9: and they basically want the headlines of families that need whatever,
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 9: people that aren't getting food stamps and everything, and then
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 9: try to put pressure on Trump. And honestly, I think
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 9: that's why they want to get to Thanksgiving because they'll say,
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 9: these heartless people are are letting people go into Thanksgiving
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 9: with you, and the media will cover the lies. It's like, well, look,
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 9: you guys are the ones that shut it down. The
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 9: votes are called, they're recorded. People can check who voted
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 9: to keep the government open and who didn't. It's Democrats.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: A congressman, David's a real quick here before we part
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: company and come back and talk about the irs, among
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: other things. In terms of the sixty vote majority, how
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: many votes does it take to change that rule?
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 3: You know, that's a good question.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 9: It's a Senate rule, and I think they can do
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 9: it with a simple majority of majority. About this, of
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 9: the majority of the Senate so all the all the
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 9: the majority of the Senate does it. So if all
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 9: the Republicans in the Senate worked together, they would be
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 9: able to do it.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: All right, how about this as a play, just to
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: let you leave it there. I'm just saying, do the
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: change and rule vote, get the government back open, and
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: then the next day vote to change the rule back
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: to sixty and move on.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah. You know.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 9: One of the proposals, and this is from a guy
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 9: in the House, is what if we made it a
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 9: law that there's a sixty vote rule, and then you
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 9: make the Democrats take the vote so you can see
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 9: who really wants to get rid of the sixty vote
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 9: rule and who doesn't, and then it would require the House,
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 9: the Senate, and the President to change the sixty vote
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 9: rule and all like. Well, that's an interesting strategy. I
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 9: personally liked the old the old sixty vote rule. Before
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 9: it was a sixty vote rule, it was three fifths
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 9: of the members present on the floor of the Senate.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 9: Change this in the seventies and then if you wanted
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 9: to shut everything down, you had to actually be present
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 9: on the floor of the Senate. So, yeah, you could
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 9: do it.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 3: You could work together, but.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 9: You would literally have to hold the floor, and the
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 9: only thing that could get done is what was being
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 9: held up on the floor. So then public pressure mounted,
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 9: and of course everybody's attention was focused because four to
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 9: seven the only thing going on in the Senate, and
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 9: that's the mister Smith goes to Washington thing. He eventually
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 9: ran out of steam because you didn't have anyone to
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 9: hand the baton too. But if you just have you know,
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 9: two people doing it, you could take you know, two
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 9: hours at a time, three hours at a time, and
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 9: take blocks and rotate. So obviously, if you've got forty
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 9: forty seven Democrats working together, you can schedule shifts and
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 9: keep the floor held open, but you would literally have
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 9: to hold the floor to do it. And that's the
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 9: old filibuster rule.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: People, I guess don't want to show the Senate, so
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: then want to show up and do their job. Conors
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: Moore and Day and should we just tell the irs
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: to go away? We're gonna ask him that question coming
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: up seven to seventeen, fifty five KRCD Talk Station. Lead
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: Talk Station seven twenty one fifty five KRCD Talk Station.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: Brian Thomas here with Congressman Warren Davidson appreciate his willingness
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: to come on with fifty five KRC mornings and talk
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: about important issues, like here's a quote from somebody, Congressman Davidson.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: Do you know who said this quote? I'm rooting for
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: the IRS to be closed. I've got a constitutional amendment
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: to repeal the sixteenth Amendment. I think it's a massive
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: invasion of privacy to collect all this information from citizens
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: in the first place, and so I hope we will
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: be we will completely repeal the sixteenth Amendment and fully
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: close the IRS. That sounds like a great idea. Who
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: came up with that one?
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 9: Oh, that's Warren Davidson. That's a pretty good quote. I'm
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 9: glad you found it.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 9: I was doing a CNN interview and they wanted to
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 9: try to say, oh, Trump's doing these bad things to
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 9: the IRS and people are getting laid off and he's
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 9: going to abuse the power of the IRS and weaponized
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 9: government and everything, And they brought me on to try
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 9: to try to get me to box into that corner.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 9: I mean, well, the purpose of the interview was something else,
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 9: but that's the always situate, some ambush stuff. So that
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 9: was one of their little ambush things, and I'm like, well,
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 9: I didn't even want the IRS to exist. I'm trying
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 9: to close the whole thing. So that certainly changed the
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 9: conversation a bit. They weren't really prepared for that angle.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: Well, the comical part of that is weize Donald Trump
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: weaponizing the government against the IRS. Well, okay, you know,
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: go back to who's responsible for the shutdown. I think
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: we've clearly concluded the Democrats are, So that gives Donald
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: Trump an opportunity to quote unquote weaponize the executive brand
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: to do a whole lot of things the otherwise wouldn't
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: have the power to do if the government was open. Fine,
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: they created that scenario, but the IRS itself was weaponized
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: against the are the American people, Lois Larner. She was
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: treating the conservative organizations terribly and denying them five oh
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: one to three C status, much like you know, Eric
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: Holder's Justice Department went after banks who were doing business
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: with lawful firearms manufacturers and pay they lenders, weaponizing these
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: governments against the own people. And even more comical Congress
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: than Davidson. I got to this in the tax code
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: itself is weaponized to protect the interest of politicians and
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: special interest in large money donors, like major corporations. It's what,
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: ten thousand plus pages long. It is filled with loopholes
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: and write INDs and carve outs and exemptions and incentives,
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: and listen. I hate the code being used to incentivize
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: the American people for literally anything. And I hate it
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: being used as a carrot and stick mechanism to get
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: us to do what we might not want to do.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 9: Amen, I mean one hundred percent all that is exactly like,
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 9: That's exactly it. I hate the income tax. I get it.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 9: We got to pay some form of tax, right, you know. Okay,
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 9: I don't like property tax that much either, but at
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 9: least you vote on it locally and spend it locally.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 9: The income tax is first and foremost this surveillance tool.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 9: You know, did somebody pay you? Did you pay somebody else?
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 9: Did you buy or sell something? Did you make or
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 9: lose money? Did somebody give you a gift?
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 3: Did you give a gift?
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 9: Was the gift too generous? What kind of car do
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 9: you drive? What kind of windows do you have in
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 9: your house? How many kids are in your house? You know,
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 9: et cetera, et cetera, All this insane stuff you're like,
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 9: get out of my life and get a warrant if
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 9: you need to know that.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 9: And then it's so complicated. The Democrats wanted to hire
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 9: eighty seven thousand more IRS agents. I mean, it's five
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 9: infantry divisions worth of VIRS agents. They wanted to add
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 9: to the already too large IRS. So thankfully westalled the
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 9: plan to grow the IRS. But we need to build
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 9: momentum towards just going ahead and deleting the whole thing.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: Well, we eradicated slavery in this country, and I can't
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: view the income taxes anything more than slavery because I
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: can do the math when I look at the percentage
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: of my income the federal government takes out of my
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: check in form of income tax, and they can set
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: it at whatever level they want. Historically it's been eighty
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: plus percent in the old days. Right remember the Taxman
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: song from the Beatles, when the Brits are being tacked
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: at ninety five percent of a certain amount of income.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: You are literally working for the government. They are taking
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: you our salary. In other words, they're taking your labor literally.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: I suppose you could argue without your consent, although I
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: do know it's a constitutional Amendment. But come on, it's
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: for slavery.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 9: Yeah. You know, people talk about McCarthyism, and you know,
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 9: I certainly wasn't alive back in the McCarthy era, but
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 9: they talk about, you know, oh, it was all a
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 9: hoax and there wasn't really a big threat of communism.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 9: And you're like, well, what was the tax rate at
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 9: that time? Well, okay, it was ninety percent? Like okay, well,
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 9: I guess the government known everything, but ninety percent quite
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 9: a lot, right, So it's not a vindication of everything
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 9: the guy might have done. But you're like, yeah, there
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 9: were some concerns because the government's like, you know, Jesus
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 9: famous saying, you know, render under Caesar what is Caesar's
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 9: and render under God? What is God's?
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 9: The problem with the communists they think everything is Caesar's.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: Right, leaving nothing for God, which is part and part
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: of the communist strategy. They don't believe in God either.
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: Congressman Warren Davidson, what are the good ones? Keep going up,
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: keep up the great work. Congressman Davidson, you'll have a
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: voice here in the fifty five Carsite Morning Show if

• 1:22:46
  Speaker 2: It's constant.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: I love it all. Listen everything I can do. I
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: didn't sign up, is I like to point out, so
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: I try to make up for that lack of Oh,
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll call myself a coward. I know
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: you right, you didn't serve any you're making up for it, Okay, Well,
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: see that's the point. You know, everybody does something.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: Two of my favorite things are craft beer and veterans.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: So can you put that a way to put them together?
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: And you put vets first, so it's not Bruce and vets,
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: it's Bruise. You can find them with that's in Bruce
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: dot com. It looks like at least a quarter of
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: the website, which probably isn't you know ready real time
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: up to date, thirty four hundred beers donated to the
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: deserving veterans. And you've raised another one of my favorite organizations,
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: Patriots Landing, and they're play an integral role in this.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: Patriots Landing is the wood shop where veterans come and
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: you know, commiserate and share each other's experience and make
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: these wonderful craft items that you can buy. Patriots Landing website.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: Check it out and support them. You donate a portion
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: of the like if I give you ten dollars, seven
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: dollars goes to buy the beer and three dollars goes
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: to Patriots Landing. Correct, so far you've raised about twenty
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: one thousand dollars for Patriots Landing alone. That little slice.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's nuts, I mean, and.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: This is the third year you've been doing this.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 2: This will for vets and Bruce total. I started right
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 2: before COVID, but then you know, we weren't out in
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 2: a brewery. So really it's been post COVID is all
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 2: the time that.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: I've read years that I was taught four.
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 2: This will be my fourth year for Honor Buss. So
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 2: it's it's crazy, man.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: It really is, but I like it. And then the
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: speaking of Patriots Landing, you have the donation box for
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: your organization in the flag case that was made by
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: Patriots Landing, got a little slot in it. It's got
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: a plex class cover like it would cover the flag,
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: and the money fits in there. So folks, if you're
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: out at a bar, a pub, a participating brewery, stuff
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: some money in the Patriot Landing box and there.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 2: If you're a veteran and you see that, go up
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: to the bar and say, hey, old I'm a veteran,
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: and they'll have a beer ready for you.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: I prepaid for.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: Him, prepaid. And don't be that guy who who claims
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: to be a veteran just to get a free beer.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: There's a special place in hell for anyone who would
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: do that. Anyway, your impetus behind this to help the
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: American veteran. But you know, conceptually what prompted you to
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: do this? Matt Damaris.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 2: Uh, you know, my dad's a Vietnam VET, and I've
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 2: always been a craft beer guy. Obviously, I'm a I'm
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 2: a real estate agent. As a way to market myself,
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: this is this is how I do it. I I
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 2: go out to veteran events or joined veteran veteran groups
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 2: that are meeting at breweries, and I show up and
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: buying beer.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: You gotta be the most popular guy.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: It's pretty cool. When I come in, they're like, what
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 2: are you doing?
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 2: Are you kidding me?
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: MAT's holding his head around in the house.

• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: has it been since you passed?
• 1:25:50

• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: I know what that's like.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 2: Man, he never got to see an honor bus, but
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 2: he did get to come to an event where I
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: was able to buy him a donate a beer. So
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 2: and he wasn't even a drinker. He just came to
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 2: the support, you know what I mean.

• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: I know we need to talk about the Honor Bus
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, what that's all about, where people need
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: to be and who's invited. So we're going to continue
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: with Matt DeMars, Vets and Bruce help out the American
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: veteran put a smile in the face with the free

  Speaker 1: Stick around. I want to mention zip It's seven point

  Speaker 1: That's and Bruce dot Com his organization just helping out

• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: you donate a little bit of money, he buys them
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: a beer or you're effectively buying them beer. And then
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: we also help support Patriots Landing with their wonderful Veteran
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: craft shop in Kentucky, which I suggest you visit sometime.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: Mat T Marris. When is this Honor bus? This year?
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 3: I went on?
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: I was it last year? I went on the one?
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: Or was the year year before? What a great time
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: it is, isn't it fun? Yeah? A couple of school buses.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: It's filled with veterans, although you do allow you have
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: to have a couple of spaces for you know, folks
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: like me that you invite. But what day is it
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: and what time to start? Let's talk about the details
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: on this, because I know there are a couple of
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: spots still remaining on the bus. That's right, get to
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: that second.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: So it's it's on November eighth this year. We we
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: go to three different breweries, you know, and we start
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: around noon it's going to be starting at dead Low Brewing.
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: That's Kellogg Avenue, right, Yep.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 2: We're going to be hosting a honoring Vietnam veteran event there.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 2: So if if you know Vietnam veteran, bring them in.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 2: It's open to the public. If you're not a veteran,
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 2: you can come and cheer people in. We do, you know,
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 2: we do like a receiving line. I've kind of modeled
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 2: this after the honor flights, you know what I mean
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 2: when you come back to CVG, there's all those people
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 2: there waving flags and stuff. How to recreate that enthusiasm
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 2: in that atmosphere every time the bus pulls in. Then
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 2: we're going to Wooden Cast Brewing down in Newport on
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 2: York Street. We're gonna be doing a sponsor recognition event there,
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 2: and then over to West Side Brewing in Cheviot I
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 2: believe it's Chevy. It's on Harrison, Yeah, and we're gonna
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 2: do an all branch toast there, so all branches of
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 2: the military come in and celebrate with us. We're gonna
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 2: raise a glass to celebrate the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: They've also teamed up with toys for Tots. They're brewing
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: a special chocolate porter that they're releasing that day. And
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the amount is, but some portion
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 2: of the proceeds for every one of those beer souls
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: goes for toys for Tots.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: Oh that's wonderful. I mean, the love keeps expanding.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 2: It's how it is, man, It's crazy how this is
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 2: blown up.
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: And you mentioned the sponsor recognition stop at the that's
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: gonna be at Wooden Casper and that's stop number two.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: But I presume that it's not too late to be
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: a sponsor.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: No, and we need sponsors. It's uh, you know we haven't.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 2: We're we're a little bit over half of what we
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 2: raised last year. This thing runs on donations, you know
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 2: what I mean. Betsen Bers is one hundred percent volunteer
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 2: ran and basically if you if you, if you go
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 2: in as a sponsor, you're basically sponsoring one of the
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: veterans on the bus. And we have one hundred dollars
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 2: slots left, and we also have a couple five hundred
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 2: dollars sponsors left. If you want to get your logo
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 2: on the shirt.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: Well can I owe you twenty Yeah, there's eighty nothing. No,
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna be a full sponnkor I'm going to
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: make it one hundred dollars. They just don't have the
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: extra twenty on me right now. They're always a full
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: spot now, So there you go. I just donated. You
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: can donate, so please do that. And if you want
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: to be a sponsor, please sign up for that.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: If you want to get some recognition in love, you
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: want to be on a T shirt with recognition, you
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: will be because he prints the T shirts out with
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: sponsors on it. So that's all a great thing. And
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 1: I guess the stops are important for my listening audience
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: because you don't have to be on the bus to
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: on the veterans much like you said, CDG on or
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: flight next Tuesday at a Lunkin Airport for that to
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: the last one of the year. But just show up
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: either show up at you know, twelve o'clock at dead
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: Low Brewery. Make it stop over at Wooden Caspering the
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: next stop it's close to two o'clock and you get
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: all the details on the website, and of course then
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: you got your final stop to the West Cyberings. Show
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: up there if you can be there by three o'clock
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: three thirty get a part to be a part of
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: the welcome ceremony. But I want to mention the bus
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: itself out loud because I just asked you off air
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: on this and I'm gonna breach orthodoxy here, and I'm
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: gonna get Joe Strekker really angry at me, and I
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: will take I will follow on the sword to the
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: extent I'm violating any rules of procedure here. But since
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: I consider the space on the bus at zero monetary value,
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: it is a charity. We're doing charitable work here for
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: the American veteran. There are two seats available for veterans.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: If you are a veteran or you have a veteran
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: in your world and you know that they'll join the
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: fun on November eighth, it's a Saturday, and they want
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: to be on the bus for these multiple stops. Call

• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: busses full and all the fun that goes along with it.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: And it really is kind of an interesting from a
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: civilian standpoint or one who hasn't served to watch the
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: veterans do their thing. They've got their own ceremonies and
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: what's the toast? Remember the toast they did? Is that
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: the Marine toast?
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah? The Marine Corps Toast isn't happening this year. Unfortunately,
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 2: he's still involved. He got Toys for Tots, involved with
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: West Side Brewing. He's going through some medical stuff so
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: he won't be able to attend this year, but he's
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 2: still contributing with the with the connecting West Side to
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: Toys for Tots. So, but we do different things there.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 2: The big one for me is the honoring Vietnam vets.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: My dad was a Vietnam Vet and as I grew up,
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 2: we always went to these veteran events and he was like, man,
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 2: they didn't do this stuff for us when we came home,
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Right, So it's like it's
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 2: special to me I'm kind of honoring him with these.
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 2: So we we pull the Vietnam veterans down away from
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 2: the civilians. We surround them with the veterans on the
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 2: honor bus, and they're family and friends, and it's only
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 2: five ten minutes, but we we kind of honor them
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 2: and welcome them home properly.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: Fair enough. That's great. Seven four nine fifty five hundred,
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: eight hundred and eighty two to three talk or a
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: pound five fifty fill those two spots up on the
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: honor bus twenty twenty five. You plan it on continuing
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: this on into the future. I presume I am.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 2: Every year, it's getting bigger, and I've got a big
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: announcement that I'm gonna be making.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to tease it without giving away anything.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 2: Matt, I'm not gonna say it man cough, but uh, yeah,
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: we every year I try to surprise or like kind
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 2: of upgrade the experience for the veterans on there. You know,
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to outdo myself every year, and uh, I'm
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 2: pretty sure I've done it this year, and I can't
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 2: wait to tell everybody.
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: What it is. Yeah, I am really excited for you
• 1:32:51

• 1:33:02
  Speaker 2: That's going to be at Deadlow, the very first one the.
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: Check Okay, yeah, Well, all I can say is, and
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: I'm not allowed to reveal it, it's going to be

• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: a couple of veterans in the listening audience right now
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 1: that want to go on this. It's such a hell
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 1: of a good time. I've been there, I've done that.

  Speaker 1: Seven forty six right now I fifty five krc DE

• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: krc DE talk station. I actually don't you do an
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 1: You know, I got a remaining segment here if we
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: get to the top of the our News and then
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 1: we'll hear from Jed Harding's tour the Cincinni Classical Academy
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: and Power Use seminar, and boy, I just bush the
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 1: Classical Academy was around. My kids were starting school out,
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: so join and getting the line to go to the
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: Sinsan Classical Academy to ensure your children have a fantastic education.
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: That's coming up after the top of the our News.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: Nobody called for the bus spots. I'm just surprised about that,
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: but I didn't want to get into this quote unquote controversy,
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: faux outrage and then left his pulling its hair out
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: of Donald Trump's ballroom, and it's just kind of making me.
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, the White House, you know, is in constant
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: need of approvals and upgrades or improvements and upgrades and
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: all that kind of thing. And yeah, this is a
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: huge construction project and they don't have a whole lot
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 1: to complain about it. I suppose Trump's paying for it himself.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: It's all private donations, so not a single taxpayer dollar
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: has been spent. Many people have complained about the space
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: limitations in the past about the White House. The currently
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 1: the White House only can handle like two hundred people.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: So when you have a state dinner and you want
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: to invite all the huhas from around the world, two
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: hundred seats just doesn't cut it, which means they quite
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: often extend the events out into the outside of the building.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: So this one's going to have sixty six hundred and
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 1: fifty seats ninety thousand square feet. But people are upset
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: about it. Oh my god, he's ruining history and all that.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: So go ahead and be distracted by that and the
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: pain of attention to the fact that government's will want
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: to keeping the government shut down. Treasury Department said, since
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: they have a view of the construction site from where
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: they're situated relative to the White House, apparently a lot
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: of the Treasury Department folks are taking pictures that are
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 1: showing up and going viral on the online. The Treasury
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 1: Department has instructed its employees do not share photos of
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: the demolition. Apparently it presents a security issue or something.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 1: Court of the spokesman for the Treasury Department that would
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: sent the email photos could quote potentially reveal sensitive items,
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: including security features or confidential structural details. I suppose the
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 1: complicated endeavor to work on the White House and all
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: the security issues you got to have on that. And
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: I remember comments from some of my political science professors
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: talking about espionage and how during the Cold War they
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 1: were so meticulous and concerned about the Soviets sneaking in
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 1: and incorporating into these secret rooms, in these quiet rooms
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: and these supposedly offline rooms that no one can bug,
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: that they were in there installing bugs while the construction
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 1: was going on. So it just brought back memories of
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 1: those comments from my political science professor. Anyway, go ahead
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: and complain, I'm sure now you know. And I think
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: what they're really angry about most is that it doesn't
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: include taxpayer dollars, and that every time they walk into
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: the newly constructed ballroom, they're going to have to somewhere
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: in the back of their mind be thinking about this
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: wouldn't exist but for Donald Trump. And he's probably doing
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: this to create that lasting legacy, that constant, ever present
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: thorn in their side. He knows he's living in their brain,
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: rent free. And this is a way long after Donald
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: Trump leaves this mortal earth for him to continue to
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: annoy people. Now, I'm sure it's not going to have
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: a big golden Trump sign on it. Probably won't you
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: have a plaque acknowledging Donald Trump paid for it. But
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: it was built by Donald Trump and it being part
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 1: of the White House, I suspect it's going to be
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: around long, long after all of us have moved on
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: to the next phase of our journey. Seven fifty five
• 1:37:39

  Speaker 1: Folks out there listening audience have children and grandchildren that
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: are of K through twelve age. You know you may
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: be disappointed in your school offerings. You aren't going to
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 1: be disappointed in the Cincinnati Classical Academy. Joining me today,
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: Back when the fifty five KRC Morning Show, Doctor Jed Hardings,
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: the Westside native I went to Xavier High School, went
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: to the University of Notre Dame, got a PhD in
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: neuroscience from the University of Pittsburgh, and he served as
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: a medical research officer in the US Army and left
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: the services rank of major. Thank you for your service
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: to our country. And throughout his business life highly successful,
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: and then he realized, well we have a massive decline
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: in American education. He is responsible for founding the Cincinnati
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 1: Classical Academy back in twenty nineteen. Welcome back to the
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: morning show, Doctor Hardings. That is a real pleasure to
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: have you on today.
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 8: Thanks so much, Brian.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: How does one start a school? This is so you know, folks,
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: tonight seven pm. It's an empower you America's seminar, a
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 1: tool of the Sincant Classical Academy. So you're not logging
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: in from home, and you're not showing up at the
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: Empower Youth Studios. You're actually going to show up at
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: the Sin Santa Classical Academy. We'll get the details on
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: that in a minute, but it's a great concept bringing
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: the Hillsdale College classical education on a college level to
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 1: K through twelve education. So conceptually it's a bulletproof idea
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: given the needs we have out here in the education world.
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: But the idea of going out and starting a school,
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: that'd be like peace of God for me. Doctor Harding's
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 1: where does one start and how are you able to
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 1: successfully pull this off?
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 8: Well, I mean it was the labor of love, Brian,
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 8: But you know, I was blessed with having a great education,
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 8: but there were you know, as you grow up and
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 8: you'll learn about the world. I realized how many omissions
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 8: there were of sort of essential knowledge from that education.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 8: And when I discovered that Hillsdale curriculum and how rich
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 8: it is in its content, how deep it dives, the
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 8: number of requirements, you know, the course work there, it's
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 8: not optional, it's not elective to study you know, great literature.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 8: You have to study it, so you just get filled
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 8: with this passion to offer this gift of pure gold
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 8: to our next generation and help form human beings who
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 8: are going to benefit society for decades to come with
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 8: their learning. So it just becomes such a great passion
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 8: that we had to do it. And it took about
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 8: three years. We started in twenty nineteen on the founding
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 8: effort and we didn't open the doors of the school
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 8: until three years later. So it's just a matter of
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 8: rolling up your sleeves and asking the right questions and
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 8: then doing the work to find the answers to how
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 8: you can make this work.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 1: And of course along the way and if from the
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: whole old if you build it, they will come. You
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 1: build a better mouse trap, people are going to buy it.
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: You build a better school structure in the school system,
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 1: you provide classical occasion, people are going to knock down
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: the doors wanting to get in. You always have You've
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: always had like a waiting list, and you started out
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: with a limited numbers. It was like K through four
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: or six, I can't remember the initials, the initial of
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: the student body K through six, Yeah, K through.
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 8: Six, and we were we had all feats filled that
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 8: first year and the growing weight list that blossomed in
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 8: nearly five hundred students by the next year, and what
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 8: was impressive to me was was how we had ninety
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 8: nine percent student retention from that very first year to
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 8: the next year, and that's been sustained through these years.
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 8: So we still have a long waitlist, but have now
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 8: grown to K through nine with nearly one thousand students,
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 8: and that first ninth grade class, that first high school class,
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 8: will we'll go on to tenth and eleven and twelfth
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 8: grade until we have our first graduates in twenty twenty nine,
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 8: which we're looking forward to.
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: I can't only imagine how excited you are about that now.
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 1: You obviously, with the growth in size and the growth
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: of student body, you had to expand the space. And
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 1: that's why you're showing folks tonight on this empower you
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 1: summon are the new Summit Park campus. Let my listeners
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: know all about that.
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 8: Yeah, So that's been one of the toughest lists in
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 8: the founding was fine in the space, and we spend
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 8: years searching and finally closed on a property last fall,
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 8: and it spent the last year. Last time we talked,
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 8: we were knee deep in construction out there in Blue
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 8: Ash for the middle and upper school campus. But I'm
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 8: happy to report that we're on the other side of
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 8: that now and we finished construction. We opened the school
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 8: there on time. We had a beautiful grand opening celebration
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 8: with over three thousand people coming through the doors the
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 8: first the week before school started. But for anyone who
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 8: didn't make it that day, tonight, we're having an event,
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 8: a free tour of the school through our new campus.
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 6: It's free.
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 8: Just have to register and empower you America dot org
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 8: and anyone's welcome to come out and learn about Cincinnati
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 8: Academy Classical Academy, and see what we've built, learn about
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 8: our educational philosophy, and uh see what it's sort of
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 8: back to the future, you know, old school education in
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 8: a very modern building. So we welcome everyone to come out.
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 1: I'm just I'm kind of curious about how you go
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 1: about hiring the teachers, the educators. I suspect that, given
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 1: you're doing classical education, there are a bunch of teachers
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 1: out there who embrace that concept and would want nothing
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: more than to work in an environment like the Since
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: at Classical Academy, have you ever had any problem of
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: hiring and retaining teachers.
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 6: We have not.
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 8: We've had we've had exceptional teacher retention, and we've been
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 8: able to fill all those positions. It's there. There's a
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 8: phrase for it that our headmaster uses. He calls them
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 8: refugee teachers. It turns out there are lots of teachers
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 8: who've been wanting to be able to do this kind
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 8: of thing for their whole careers, and they are refugees
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 8: from the educational system in general, and they find it
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 8: home with us, and they're very glad to be empowered
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 8: to do their jobs and lead and teach in the classroom.
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: And I suppose concepts like woke ideology and DEI mandates
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 1: and Dick Todds, that's not part of sin Sant classical academy.
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 3: It is not.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: That's why it's a refuse for all those disappointed teachers.
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: There's freedom escape the since a classical academy and enjoy
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 1: what you're doing being a teacher. I've always commented on
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 1: one of the greatest things that I enjoyed about, particularly
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: law school, but it did exist in the K through
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: twelve education with a certain degree is the Socratic method,
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 1: the engaging in the question and answers back and forth
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 1: with whoever's teaching a class. Do you have that kind
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 1: of concept at the Sin Santa Classical Academy?
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 8: Absolutely, And you know it starts gradually in the in
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 8: the sort of the middle school, but it really starts
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 8: to blossom as you get into the high school levels. Yeah,
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 8: it's it's throughout the school. Is the main method of
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 8: instruction outstanding.
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 1: Now, can you explain to me and my listeners, of course,
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 1: this concept of citadel life, the house system as you
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 1: refer to it since I classical Academy, what's that all about?
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 8: Yeah, exactly, Well, it's it serves multiple purposes, but it
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 8: kind of organizes the culture within the student body. I
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 8: mean we we sort of have a breakdown in community
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 8: in society today, right and people's lost, right especially in
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 8: the digital world. Well, uh, this is kind of one
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 8: answer to that. Although it's it's a system that's quite ancient,
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 8: going back hundreds of years at school's.
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 6: Great schools have used it.
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 8: But it organizes the students into four houses where and
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 8: it's and it goes across grade levels down to uh
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 8: grade grade seven on up, and they they work together,
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 8: they mentor each other.
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 8: The older students model good behavior and virtue for the
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 8: younger students, and the younger students, you know, learn from
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 8: from the older students.
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 5: So uh.
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 8: And it's they compete with each other and cooperate on
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 8: various various areas of service of academic achievement, athletic achievement,
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 8: and various other kind of cultural things that they do
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 8: at the at the school.
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 1: Civics and morality and character, these are all part of
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: the curriculum at since classical academy, have those concepts just
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 1: disappeared in public education? Sir?
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 8: It's it's the aim of of our school is to
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 8: cultivate moral character and civic virtues. I mean, those are
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 8: the aims of the educational enterprise. It's to form the
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 8: whole person. It's to form the habits of excellence concerning mind, body,
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 8: and soul.
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 1: I just wish that this concept was embraced by all
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 1: public education because some of the hardest to reach children
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 1: out there are the ones that really are in desperate
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 1: need of civic virtue and moral character. They're clearly not
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 1: getting it at home. And I can only imagine the
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 1: weight that any given educator might have with a classroom
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 1: full of thirty five kids who lack moral character and
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 1: civic virtue. How do you transform that group? I mean,
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 1: I think that's at the root of the problem. If
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 1: you have a broken home or of the nuclear families disappeared,
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 1: you need resources. The kid needs to have proper guidance,
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 1: not going to get it from a public education. I
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 1: wish your school was available literally across this entire country
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 1: of ours, doctor and Brian.
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 8: The public teachers unions, they came after us and attacked
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 8: us because we write about morality on our on our
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 8: website and our materials, and our were teaching in our classrooms.
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 8: They object to the very nature of that. The only
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 8: way that they know how to care for in their minds,
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 8: because it's such a foreign concept to them, is to
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 8: come out and call as Christian nationalists, or to accuse
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 8: us of being a religious school masquerading, you know, you know,
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 8: take taking dollars from the public treasury. It's nonsense. Uh More.
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 8: Moral character and morality and what is the good and
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 8: what is beautiful has been around. Uh had lots of
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 8: cultures and for a long time before Christianity.
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 1: Yes, Uh, Socrates played prior to the Greek civilizations. Of
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 1: course you have uh you know, the religious times and
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of years ago, morality and character were
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 1: always discussed. But as I'm looking at the Cincinnati Classical
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 1: Academy page, which is for my listeners who are interested,
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 1: since you with hy Classical dot org, I don't see
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 1: anything in here about Christianity, sir.
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 8: No, And we teach all the major religions. We want
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 8: all of our students to be culturally literate and informed
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 8: about the world cultures and the world religions.
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 1: Because they exist as a factual matter. You've got to
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 1: go live in a world with multiple religions. It's good
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 1: to get a concept and understand them within and underneath
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 1: the umbrella of moral character and civic virtue. So glad
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 1: about this. So the tour is tonight at seven. It
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 1: begins at seven pm, but they do need a registered
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 1: empower you America dot org. Correct, doctor, that's correct?
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 1: Is this going to be ye one tour beginning at
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 1: seven and going through the space or what if people
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 1: show up late? Is that possible? I guess I want
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 1: to get the lowdown on the logistics.
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 4: Sir.
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 8: You should probably aim to show up at seven o'clock.
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 8: Maybe if they're a little early, register before six forty five,
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 8: and it's we plan on one tour, but we'll make adjustments.
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 8: We'll have contingency plans in case, in case there's some
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 8: stragglers or more people. But yeah, we'll go through all
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 8: the major spaces and from symposium room to how we
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 8: furnish the school to the reviewing the virtue posters that
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 8: are on the wall. So we'll talk about the Citadel
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 8: Light House system and see the library and see the
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 8: new construction. We're building thirty thousand square feet of a
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 8: gymnasium and a music wing and lots of other stuff
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 8: as well, so we'll get to see all of it
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 8: and see how it implements physically our educational philosophy.
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 1: All right, there's somebody right now out there going, wait
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 1: a second, my kids have to go there, or my
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 1: grandchildren need to register. When is registration? How does that
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 1: go about? I mean, when is it open and for
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 1: what grades? There's got to be some sort of limitations
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 1: on that, doctor.
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 8: Yeah, enrollment usually begins at the end of the year
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 8: December perhaps, and we always accept all applications from kindergarten
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 8: through up through tenth grade this coming year. So go
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 8: to Sincy Classical dot org. And it takes about five
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 8: minutes to apply and if there's more, if there's more applications,
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 8: then we have seats available. Then it goes to a
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 8: lottery system. There's no aptitude tests, there's no financial means
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 8: tests because we're tuition free. So if you're lucky enough
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 8: to win the lottery, you get a seat.
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 1: And this your academy, draws people from all over the region.
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, there are some people who go through some
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 1: significant lengths and difficult challenges getting their children to school
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 1: every day, but they fight that battle and they win
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 1: that battle and they make it there every day because
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 1: of the draw of the education. I mean, you're literally
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 1: with people from all over the Tri state area, aren't you.
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 8: We are Incredibly those numbers continue to grow. I got
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 8: corrected recently that we're not drawing from sixty zip codes,
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 8: but we're drawing from seventy one zip codes now and
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 8: over forty different home school districts. I didn't know there's
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 8: forty school districts in Greater Cincinnati, but the answer is
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 8: there aren't. Because this goes This includes up to six
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 8: different counties. I can't even name all the six. That's amazing,
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 8: but that's yeah, people are feel pretty fortunate when they
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 8: get in and they're willing to make sacrifices and prioritize
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 8: it in their lives. I mean, and it makes sense.
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 8: It's their children's formation. It's who you're entrusting, these beautiful
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 8: souls that you created, who you're entrusting them to.
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: I've said in a million times, doctor, the second greatest
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 1: gift my parents ever gave me, after the gift of life,
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 1: was the gift of education. They insisted on it, and
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 1: I'm thankful for it and I've been fitting from it.
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 1: And boy, what a great opportunity to do just that
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 1: by getting your children in the Sin Sant Classical Academy.
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 1: It starts tonight. Do the tour. It's seven pm. Go
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 1: to empower you America dot org. Make sure your register
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 1: and make sure you they're on time. Doctor Hardings, thank
• 1:53:13

• 1:53:14
  Speaker 1: And I can't I thank you enough. And I certainly
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 1: know the families of the children that you educate are
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 1: truly appreciative of it. And we'll look forward to having
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 1: you back on the show again real soon. Doctor, Thanks

• 1:53:41
  Speaker 1: since I only have a minute left in the segment
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 1: before we get to iHeartMedia Aviation Expert Jay Rattleff Cleave's residents,
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 1: my friends and Cleaves. Apparently tonight is the night they

• 1:54:26
  Speaker 1: I'll be right back fifty five KRC dot com. This
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 1: I always looking forward to this time of the week,
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 1: in this day because we get to talk to iHeart
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 1: media aviation expert Jay Ratliff, which I thoroughly enjoy doing
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 1: and I hope my listening audience enjoys it as much
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 1: as I do. Some really cool topics you got in
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 1: this morning on the list here, Jay Ratliffe. One, I'm
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 1: going to go out of order wildly curious about the
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 1: before we get the hub delays, which we always end
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 1: on so we know how travel is out there. Today
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 1: it says Boeing has been given permission to increase production
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 1: of the seven thirty seven Max aircraft. They need to
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 1: seek permission in terms of their output. I mean, I
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 1: know they do it to themselves sometimes in terms of
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 1: delays and backlogs and all that kind of thing. But
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 1: who has to give Boeing permission for production of aircraft numbers?
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 10: The Federal Aviation Administration After the two Boeing Max crashes,
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 10: after some of the situations we've had since, the FAA
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 10: has said, you guys need to slow it down, and
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 10: slow it down now, so they actually capped to the
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 10: maximum number of Boeing seven thirty seven max aircraft that
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 10: they could make it to twenty six or something. They
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 10: increased it to thirty eight a month, and now that's
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 10: been further increased to forty two a month. So yes, Boeing,
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 10: who hasn't made a profit since I think twenty eighteen,
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 10: is now allowed and that is the proper word, to
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 10: produce as many a s F two aircraft a month
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 10: because the FAA had to be convinced that they were
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 10: doing things the right way, not using scrap parts that
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 10: shouldn't be used, making sure the productions need to be
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 10: making sure that no more door plugs fall off of
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 10: airplanes like we had last year with your last airline's flight.
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 10: So and they are convinced that Boeing is making the
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 10: necessary corrections, and we'll see. But yes, Boeing did need
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 10: to get permission to push more planes through the through
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 10: their production schedule.
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll acknowledge it is a heavily regulated industry and
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 1: maybe that's a really good thing considering what they're doing.
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 1: But you would never go to a bad part bin
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 1: and use one of the parts that's been labeled you know,
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 1: non compliant or it doesn't meet our safety whatever, it's
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 1: a non approved part. You would never use one of
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 1: those parts if you had an adequate supply of parts.
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 1: Now have they overcome whatever supply shortages that led people
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 1: to wander over to the the rejected parts bin.
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 10: Yeah, they've had issues in the past, and Bright that's
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 10: exactly the problem is that some of the supply side things,
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 10: because remember Boeing has just hundreds and hundreds of companies
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 10: that feed them different parts and services to kind of
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 10: keep everything going. And there's been times that they did,
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 10: according to the whistleblowers and some confirmed reports, where they
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 10: ran out of parts and you were looking at an
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 10: airplane that was going to be stationary in this production
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 10: cycle for an extended period of time, and supervisors told
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 10: the employees, go find the best failed part that we
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 10: can put on this aircraft to keep the airplane moving
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 10: through production. And it seems ridiculous, it seems stupid, nasinine,
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 10: and it's just unbelievably not safe to use a failed
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 10: part on an aircraft. But that's what they were doing,
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 10: and it's just again Boeing told us five years ago
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 10: that they had turned the corner and learned their lessons,
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 10: they were not going to be the same company, and
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 10: they lied to us. So I'm really hoping this time around,
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 10: all of these paragraphs of promise that come out and
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 10: all their you know, press releases really mean something because
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 10: before they didn't.
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 1: Well, I hope they have a guard post at the
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 1: rejected park closet because they haven't solved that problem. Then
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 1: telling them they can increase the number of airplanes they
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 1: can produce on a monthly basis, that doesn't mean a thing.
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 1: If you don't have the part, they can't put the
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 1: plane together.
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 10: Sometimes they have the big red pain on them showing
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 10: that they're failed. So you've got people scrubbing the red paint.
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 10: It's like it's like, you know, what would go on
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 10: in Russia with some of the stuff they do, and
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 10: the idea that that's going on here in the United States.
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 10: And I mean, you had thirty some whistleblowers come forward
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 10: saying I can't be a part of this anymore because
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 10: we're putting the lives at risk. And you know, thank god,
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 10: none of this stuff other than of course those two
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 10: horrific plane crashes with a Boeing Max five years ago,
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 10: which were you know, coming up on that anniversary very
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 10: very soon here on the first one. But it's just
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 10: a scary thing. And you know, Boeing was told by
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 10: the FAA five years ago, we really gave you too
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 10: much slack, and we're going to be all over you,
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 10: and of course they weren't. So the FAA failed us
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 10: like Boeing failed us. And you're just hoping that the
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 10: two entities that failed us as a traveling you know,
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 10: segment of population, that they're gonna both come through for us.
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 10: And certainly we hope that's going to be the case.
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 1: Certainly do well for we part company and take a
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 1: break here. How about Southwest Airlines new boarding policy? What's
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 1: this one about?
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 10: Well, they decided that instead of having like Delta's eight
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 10: or ten boarding zones and United ten boarding zones or
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 10: whatever it is, that they're going to simplify it. And
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 10: they said, it's a very easy process. All we have
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 10: to do is board all the window seat people first, duh,
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 10: all the middle seats second, and then the aisle people third,
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 10: and we will be able to put people on the airplane.
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 10: It's so easy. Why haven't people thought about this before?
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 10: Blah blah blah and it's really going to make the
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 10: boarding process much less stressful. Well, note to Southwest, we
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 10: have tried that before, and there's a big time problem
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 10: because when all of your window seats and all your
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 10: it'll seat passengers board, they fill up the overhead storage compartments.
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 10: Then you have the aisle passengers boarding last. They've paid
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 10: more for their ticket than the middle seat people, and
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 10: they now have no place to put their bag.
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 1: Which is a problem.
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 10: So we've had this happen before, so I think we
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 10: should start an office pool about how long this is
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 10: going to last. But look, Southwest has the best boarding
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 10: policy in certain weather locations where they can do it.
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 10: They bring people off the front of the airplane while
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 10: they're boarding them on the stairs from the rear. And
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 10: when you can do that, it's a great process. You
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 10: can turn that silver revenue tube fast. But the problem
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 10: is you can't do it in the winter, you can't
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 10: do it in bad weather, can't do it in windy weather,
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 10: all those things. So it's a perfect weather situation to
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 10: do that. But look, for the last seventy years, Airline
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 10: has been trying to figure out a way for us
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 10: to how can we more quickly put people on the airplane,
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 10: and they have tried every single combination that they can
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 10: to try to figure out the best way. We'll board
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 10: from the back, front, we'll board from the front, back,
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 10: We'll board all these different ways, and it just creates problems. Look,
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 10: when you bored from the back of the airplane forward,
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 10: you have all these people dropping their carry on bags
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 10: and Row thirteen n Rowe twenty eight.
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 10: So it just regardless of which way we pivot, Briant
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 10: creates problems on tops of problems. And while yes, it
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 10: seems logical to do it XYZ, the problem is in
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 10: a real world environment where you're actually there watching what
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 10: takes place. When this happens, it doesn't exactly go as
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 10: the theories in the office might suggest they would.
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 6: At the case.
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 10: It's like a college professor who has all the answers,
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 10: even though they probably never ran a business.
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 1: Well, at the risk of running over too long, real quickly, here,
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 1: if you have a sign seating, can't you have a sign?
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 10: Ben You could, and I'm surprised they've not done that before.
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 10: Now the problem is how you're going to regulate that
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 10: because you don't have enough flight attendants to really be
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 10: able to do it, and I don't know why they
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 10: don't charge us for the overhead bins if you need
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 10: extra room, saying you can have the seat, the space
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 10: underneath the seat in front of you, bring a small bag,
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 10: no feet, you need the overhead bind pooh, gonna cost you.
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 1: There you what it gave a couple of sound ideas,
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 1: Jay Ratlift Pousive.
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 10: No, no, no, they've got listening to me along other
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 10: than the things they complain about me. That those things they.
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 1: Hear stay around assault rifles, emergency landings, dead people and
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 1: space debree more with Jay Ratliffe coming up right back
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 1: fifty five karc them Vermont, fifty five krs. He talks station.
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 1: We've ever been in a cockpit before? Jay Ratliffe has
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 1: He's iHeart media aviation expert. We have the pleasure of
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 1: talking to Jay Ratliffe every week at beginning at eight
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 1: thirty onto section or segment two. Here Jay Ratliffe sounds
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 1: like it's a bad IDEA man with an assault rifle
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 1: was arrested at the Atlanta Airport.
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 10: Yeah, this is a forty nine year old from Cartersville, Georgia,
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 10: and apparently Brian He had coasted to a social Cartersville.
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 1: Seriously, go ahead. I'm sorry to interject with a delight.
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 1: I had one of the best experiences of my life.
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 1: We our car broke down, and when I was in college.
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 1: We're on spring break. The car broke down right on
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 1: the on ramp to Cartersville, Georgia, and the mayor, I
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 1: believe he was of Cartersville, was out with his son.
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 1: He stopped, he picked us up. There were six of us.
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 1: He let us stay at his house. He kicked his
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 1: daughter out, he kicked his son out. They went and
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 1: stayed at friend's houses. He's his wife fed us all.
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 1: This is like midnight on a weekday or something. Let
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 1: us let us sleep there. No, it was a Saturday,
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 1: because I remember, we were really worried because Sunday nothing's open.
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 1: It was a our our and here I am laboring
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 1: on about this. Anyway, the fuel the fuel pump went out,
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 1: so we needed to buy a fuel pump really easy
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 1: fixed in the van that we were in. So he
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 1: ended up getting his buddy, He won the auto parts
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 1: store to open up on a Sunday, got us the
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 1: fuel pump, got the van fixed. It was It was
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 1: one of those renewal of faith in humanity moments in time.
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 1: So the I heard cards, we just could not believe
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 1: how much gratitude we had for him, and we ended
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 1: up sending him a big fruit basket and a big
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 1: letter of thanks to him and his wife. They treated
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 1: it so wonderfully, and I've always thought the world of
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 1: Cartersville just because of that moment in time.
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 10: Well, I hope you kept in touch with him, thanking
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 10: him repeatedly for something like that. That's great, that's great,
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 10: And I love the fact that a story like this
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 10: can can spur a nice memory like that that can
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 10: be shared, because yeah, let's hope that encourages other people.
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 10: You know, not that you are saying, let strangers into
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 10: your house and send the night, but you know, I
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 10: get it, and that's a great thing because it makes
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 10: you think that people. You know, it's kind of like
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 10: things used to be. But yeah, this story was a
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 10: forty nine year old from that place that posted to
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 10: a social media count that he was going to go
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 10: to the Atlanta Airport shoot it up, and you had
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 10: family members that spotted those social media posts. They notified
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 10: the local police, who then notified the Atlanta Airport. All
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 10: this was in like fifteen minutes. The man was later
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 10: spotted walking into the airport. He was unarmed at the
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 10: time and the thought was he was scoping it out.
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 10: He had his vehicle right outside the door, had an
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 10: assault rifle loaded inside the vehicle. He was approached by
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 10: law enforcement, he was questioned and detained and it's currently
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 10: undergoing a mental health evaluation. And look, this is a
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 10: perfect example of how a lot of these tragedies can
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 10: be averted if you just have family and friends that
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 10: might see something, hear something, notify authorities and say, look
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 10: is what we see as far as what may or
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 10: may not be going on. And I think the family
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 10: certainly saved some lives there. But it's a lot like
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 10: I tell people at the airport, if you see unattended bags,
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 10: or see somebody acting in a suspicious fashion, immediately pointed
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 10: out to the airport police. And so many people say, well, Jay,
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 10: if it's nothing, I said, I don't care. And you'll
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 10: never have any law enforcement officer tell you you never
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 10: should do this, because when you have two million people
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 10: a day flying and you've got two million sets of eyes,
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 10: all that does is ratchet up our security. So if
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 10: you see something that doesn't look right. Even if it's
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 10: something where you might suspect that there's child trafficking or
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 10: something else going on, you may not be an expert
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 10: at that, So notify somebody who is, and then they
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 10: can determine whether or not there's an issue.
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 1: Sounds like common sense and logic to me. Jay Radley,
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 1: all right, American Airlines flight making an emergency landing.
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 10: Why this was sky West flight sixty five sixty nine,
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 10: taken off from Omahall. They're headed for LA. About forty
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 10: minutes into the flight, the pilots start hearing a loud
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 10: banging on the cockpit door. Okay, so they called for
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 10: the flight attendants over the intercom. Flight attendants do not respond. Oh,
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 10: they said, okay, we've got a protocol. They immediately declared
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 10: an inflight emergency for security, turned the airplane around, went
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 10: back to Omahall, and here come law enforcement. But when
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 10: they boarded, they found out that it was the flight
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 10: attendant it's knocking on the door to try to tell
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 10: him the intercom wasn't working. Whoops. Yeah, so apparently they
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 10: didn't have a secret codd knock. It was us, you know,
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 10: But look, the pilots, you know, because they can't see anything,
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 10: and it really surprises you that there's not something in
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 10: the cockpit that would have a camera of the door
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 10: or something. I mean, the technology is so affordable, even
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 10: for cheap airlines, that that type of thing should exist
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 10: right where pilots can look back at least at the
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 10: door and beyond. But absent of that, they didn't know
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 10: what was going on, and they are taught that door
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 10: stays shut. You'd land that airplane notify law enforcement just
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 10: in case. And being in Omaha close to the military
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 10: base is there. I don't know if they launched any
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 10: military intercept that would be part of the process here
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 10: if you've got an aircraft that you suspect maybe in
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 10: the process of being taken over. So the crew did
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 10: exactly what they should have and when the pilot landed,
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 10: the captain he told his passengers, look, we still don't
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 10: know what's going on. Just bear with us. But they
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 10: aired on the side of caution, and even though it
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 10: delayed the flight, they did exactly what they should have done.
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 1: I was just going to say, exactly the same thing.
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 1: That's exactly the way I would want it. Abundance of caution,
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 1: little delay and it's always the right thing to do.
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 1: Let's pause, we'll bring it back. We'll talk about space
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 1: debris and a Hong Kong plane crash, plus a hub
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 1: delay with one more. I heard Mediavation expert Ja rat
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 1: lefts to Crown fifty five KRC. It's cyber. It is
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 1: eight forty nine on a Friday eve talking with I
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 1: heard Mediavation expert J Ratlin moving through the multitude of
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 1: a variety of topics. This morning, we'd go over to
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 1: Hong Kong. We had a plane crash. Out of the
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 1: plane crash, and I see we had recorded the notes
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 1: a couple of deaths.
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 10: I was a Boeing seven forty seven cargo plane landing
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 10: at like three point fifty three in the morning in
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 10: Hong Kong, had four pilots aboard, and after they touched
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 10: down and rotated down, they were in the process of
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 10: slowing down, and there was some sort of a security
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 10: vehicle on the runway uh oh, and the plane struck it.
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 10: And when it did, it caused the aircraft to veer
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 10: off the runway down to the embankment into the sea.
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 10: So you've got the aircraft in the sea and you've
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 10: got two people on the ground vehicle that were killed,
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 10: and the accident investigations continuing as far as why in
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 10: the world this vehicle was on an active runway, and
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 10: because you know, anytime you're at an airport, you're taught
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 10: first thing about you know, how you approach, how you cross,
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 10: everything that has to be done to make sure that
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 10: you're not where you need to be at the wrong time.
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 10: So hopefully they'll be able to find out why that happened,
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 10: because yeah, we've not had an incident Hong Kong for
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 10: a while, and to see two people killed, you know,
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 10: certainly avoidable, and hopefully they'll find out exactly what took place.
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, being on the runway in a vehicle sounds
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 1: like a bad idea in most all cases today.
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 10: Well, no, no, they do runway inspections all the time.
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 10: Oh you know, they drive up and down the runway
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 10: to make sure there's no debris or animals things like
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 10: that that might interfere with it take offered landing. So yeah,
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 10: it runways are used all the time by ground vehicles,
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 10: but obviously never won an aircraft.
• 2:10:06
  Speaker 1: Is landing exactly all right, space debris.
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 10: Who was thought of that United flight ten ninety three
• 2:10:13
  Speaker 10: Denver to La. Their crew as long as thirty six
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 10: thousand feet, kind of minding their own business, when all
• 2:10:17
  Speaker 10: of a sudden, the cockpit windshield on the first officer
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 10: side shatters. Now, the cockpit windshields is not like a
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 10: car windshield. You've got three layers of in essence, chemically
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 10: strengthened glass that's designed for bird strikes, hail, the temperature changes,
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 10: and everything else. But what made this different, Brine was
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 10: that when this shattered, part of the debris actually entered
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 10: to the flight deck and caused injuries to one of
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 10: the pilots. He had a bloodied arm in the process. Now,
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 10: the crew was still able to control the airplane. It
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 10: wasn't a big deal as far as operating it. They
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 10: landed the plane fifty minutes later in Salt Lake City,
• 2:10:52
  Speaker 10: and when they were on the ground appeared to be
• 2:10:54
  Speaker 10: some sort of scorch marks that were found on the
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 10: outer side of the airplane indicating a kind of an
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 10: extra impact. Yeah, and they there wasn't any hail reported
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 10: in the area. Birds at thirty six thousand feet not
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 10: real likely, but they thought, okay, it could have been
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 10: a piece of space debris, which is like never happened
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 10: that could have actually struck the airplane. The odd latest
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 10: well a trillion to one at that point. Yeah, but
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 10: the thought is that they're thinking it may have also
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 10: been a weather balloon that could have been in the area.
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 10: They're still investigating at the sea. But Brian, anytime I
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 10: talk about a cockpit window, I have to talk about
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 10: British Airways flight fifty three to ninety. This was a
• 2:11:32
  Speaker 10: plane that was cruising at seventeen thousand feet and the
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 10: captain's windshield totally blew off. It was improperly installed. He
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 10: was not wearing his seat belt. Almost a decompression send
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 10: him right out the window. Now there was a flight
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 10: attendant who had just entered the cabin that lunged forward
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 10: and grabbed the captain's knee and feet and was hanging
• 2:11:57
  Speaker 10: on to him as he's outside the air.
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, this was several years ago, correct, many years ago,
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 1: But I think a picture about that or something.
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 10: That's what I'm going to say. If you've not googled
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 10: the image of British Airways fifty three ninety, you gotta
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 10: do it, because there were pictures taken of this aircraft
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 10: in flight as it was trying to land that has
• 2:12:20
  Speaker 10: the captain laying across the top of the aircraft.
• 2:12:24
  Speaker 1: Wild howl a going when the when the window blew out.
• 2:12:28
  Speaker 10: Well seventeen thousand feet you'd been going, depending on the
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 10: specific I mean, you're going one hundred and eighty two
• 2:12:35
  Speaker 10: hundred miles an hours. You're coming down and slowing down.
• 2:12:37
  Speaker 1: Stick your hat out of a moving car.
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 10: Yeah, but you know the captain survived. You had frostbite
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 10: and different things. He didn't remember a lot of things
• 2:12:47
  Speaker 10: that happened, obviously, But look, this guy was flying six
• 2:12:49
  Speaker 10: months later. But if you go to just to a
• 2:12:52
