  Speaker 1: 5.05, the 55KRC, the talk station. Happy Tuesday.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: And that's the way the news goes.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like it or not, it is the way the
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: news goes. My name is Brian Thomas, host of the
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: 55K RC Morning Show, and glad to be in that position. And,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: of course, always happy to see Joe Strecker where he belongs,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: executive producer of the 55K RC Morning Show. Good morning,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Joe Strecker, and thanks for the lineup today. We had
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: this outage in New York, which reminded me of Airplane.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Remember the movie Airplane? Remember Johnny? It could be a hat,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: or a brooch, or a pterodactyl, the guy that pulled
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the plug on the runway lighting. Just kidding. Yeah, well,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: that happened yesterday in New York. They cut a cable
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: doing some construction work, and it shut down quite a
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: few airports and caused a major disruption. Of course, New
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: York with the UN in session ripple effect on that one.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: So I texted Joe yesterday. I said, see if you
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: can get Jay Ratliff on. He goes, well, you got
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: a full program tomorrow. Guests lined up. I said, well,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: at least I'll be able to sleep easy tonight knowing
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: that I have a full program or a full slate
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: of guests beginning at 7.05 this morning.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Dr.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Jay Rissover, who is the man in charge of EmpowerU now, empoweruamerica.org.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: He's going to be back to talk about the Empire
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Youth Seminars going on this week. That'll be at 7
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: to 5, followed by, it is Tuesday, so we get
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Tom Zawistowski from wethepeopleconvention.org. Of course, the ongoing message, the drumbeat,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: as we're running out of time, fast approaching November, get
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: out and vote, my conservative friends. Plus, will Republicans suspend
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the gas tax? More on that, because that's becoming a
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: larger outcry, and it's reached the federal level, where we have...
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Folks in D.C. demanding that maybe we suspend diesel exports
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and perhaps get rid of the federal gas tax for
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: some period of time. Temporary solution or deal with temporary problems?
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Maybe.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Tom Z on that at 730, followed by the Inside
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Scoop with Breitbart News. Today we get the Texas Border
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Associate Editor Bob Price. Bob returns to talk about the, well,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: a variety of different articles and information, including the illegal
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: alien that was shot by ICE officers. who, well, of course,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: entered the country during the Biden administration. And I hope
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: everybody's paying attention to the realities of social media. And no,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: this is not, there isn't a grassroots spontaneous protest. It's coordinated.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Understand in the modern times in which we live, if
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: you don't pay attention to Tech Friday's Dave Hatter, we're
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: all interconnected. We all have social media accounts, or at
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: least most of us do. And everybody gets the message immediately. Hey,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: there's a shooting involving an ICE agent. We need to
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: get out and protest. Well, wait a second. Was there
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: any justification for the ICE agent shooting the illegal immigrant? Well,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Get over to the site and start protesting.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: That's exactly what's going on. A bunch of left-wing protesters.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: They're all connected. Socialist groups, most notably, including yesterday's riot
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: activity or at least protest activity, the Democratic Socialists of America.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Freedom Road Socialist Organization, Party for Socialism and Liberation, just
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: three of the various splitter organizations all swirling around communism
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: and socialism, many of whom are funded by Neville Roy Singham,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: a communist American-born tycoon that lives in Shanghai. I hope
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: you know who that guy is. Billions of dollars, and
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: he loves to stir the agitation around among the socialists
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: of America. Anyway, your next-door neighbor didn't show up at that, unless,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: of course, they are members of that. One of those
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: organizations got the word, and, of course, had free time
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: on their hands to go up and protest. So Bob
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: will be talking about that, among other border-related topics. The
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Daniel Davis deep dive will talk about Iran. Of course,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: many people are really upset with Donald Trump and the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: whole situation unfolding in Iran. And I understand that. But
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: don't forget, that yes, the oil price and gas prices
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: have gone up as a consequence of the war with
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the Iranians, but also because of the situation between Russia
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and Ukraine. We didn't have anything to do with the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Russians invading Ukraine. That was their deal, and I know
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: we tried to fund it. I know we sent a
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: lot of missiles to Ukraine to help it defend itself
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: and all that, and whether or not that was an
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: appropriate use of our, well, limited and dwindling military resources.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Another thing people are upset about, many in elected capacity, dude,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: we're using up all our munitions, blowing up the Iranian sites.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Separate story. But part of the diesel problem we're facing
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: in this world is the war between Russia and Ukraine.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: So you can just, when you're criticizing Trump and you're
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: angry about him for the resulting increase in gasoline prices
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: because of Iran, don't overlook the fact that there is
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: also a corollary effect impacting global diesel prices, and that
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: is the war between Russia and Ukraine, which Donald Trump
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: is demanding ends today. demanding that it stops immediately. I
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: don't know if Putin and Zelensky are going to listen to.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Him on that.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Anyway, plus Dr. Waterhouse, my former cancer doctor. He's with OHC.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: He'll be on at 8.50. We'll be talking with Dr. Waterhouse,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: of course, about cancer. Maybe we'll get some really positive news.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Not positive news here in the state of Ohio. Now,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you want to listen to a
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: poll that was done by Bowling Green State University. There
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: it is. 60% of Ohioans disapprove of Trump and how
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: he's doing as we approach the midterms. TDS is everywhere.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Some of it's justified, some not. Anyway, Robert Alexander, a
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: professor of political science at Bowling Green, his statement regarding
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: the new poll, Ohio has been one of Donald Trump's
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: strongest states, but our findings suggest voters are becoming increasingly
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: uneasy about him, the direction of our country and the economy.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: given that midterm elections are largely about the president's approval,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Democrats are poised to be competitive in a state where
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Republicans have dominated electorally for two decades. And this is
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the troubling part for me. I'll point to the gubernatorial election.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know what impact the governor of the state
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: of Ohio has on federal policies. I don't think Donald
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Trump consulted with Mike DeWine, for example, before starting to
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: drop bombs on the Iranians. I don't think the governor
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: of the state of Ohio, I'm just picking obviously one
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: state race, governor of the state of Ohio has anything
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: to do with, oh, I don't know, whether you shut
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: down the XL pipeline, whether you're in favor of green
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: energy policies, some of which, yeah. But, you know, the
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: broader issues that impacted all of us economically, inflation specifically,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: is out of the control of these state elections, so
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: you want to go ahead and vote for a senator
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: that is going to vote for your female child having
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: to play sports against some large male, your prerogative. If
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: you're angry with Trump and that's okay with you in
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: terms of an outcome, go ahead and knock yourself out.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: But I think of the gubernatorial race, and it's neck
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: and neck. According to this Bowling Green State University poll,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: in addition to us being pissed off about Donald Trump
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: at least 60%, Amy Acton in this poll said, Three-point
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: lead over Republican Vivek Ramaswamy.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: Huh.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I know that's within the margin, or at least I'm
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: going to presume it is. But if that lead for
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Amy acting is a consequence of us being angry with
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump and the current situation here in the U.S.,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: you're misguided. As far as the U.S. Senate race goes, well,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: you may be able to link a connection, make a
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: connection there. It is a federal race. Sherrod Brown leading
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: also three points over John Husted, at least in this
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: particular poll. This political scientist, Robert Alexander, while Democrats currently
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: hold narrow leads in both contests, voters believe Republicans are
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: more likely to prevail in November. Ah, glimmer of hope.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: This suggests that many Ohioans view the state as fundamentally
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: more favorable for Republicans. Well, history demonstrates that, Mr. Alexander.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: even though the current political environment has made it much
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: more difficult for Republican candidates. Well, I guess that just
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: suggests that maybe people are smarter than the suggestions that
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: are floating around sort of reflect. Like what I'm saying. Yeah,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: we're upset about the environment from an economic standpoint. We
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: don't like inflation. We don't like the fact that gasoline
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: and diesel are at historic highs. We're all upset about that.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: But you know what? Ohio went Republican a couple of
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: decades ago and has been solidly Republican since then. And
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: just because we're pissed off about Donald Trump doesn't mean
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: we're going to turn our backs on what we believe
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: to be the right direction. Notwithstanding, if Donald Trump is
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: doing something that we don't believe is in the right direction,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mean he controls everything. We're still going to
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: elect responsible Republicans here in Ohio. And that is my
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: plea to the listeners. how to go vote and elect
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: responsible Republicans or even elect Republicans if you don't perceive
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: them to be responsible. Just do a comparative analysis. The
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Republican candidate that you're not overly overwhelmed by, holding your
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: nose perhaps in voting, just compare them to the opposition.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Who is the Democrat that's running? Are they offering you
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: a better solution for your life? Are they actually going
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: to cause inflation to drop? I keep reminding folks Trump
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: promised that as a campaign pledge. And, you know, at
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: the time, scratching my head and wondering, why would you
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: make a statement like that? It is beyond your individual
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: capacity to control inflation. Why would you fall on a
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: sword like that when it's going to come back to
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: haunt you? Well, here we go. I love this. Political science.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Ohioans generally have high trust in institutions that directly affect
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: their daily lives. This is what the poll found, and Mr.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Alexander's comment on that, are you ready? Sort of bursting
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: any bubble of possible reliance on the poll that I
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: might place in it. Quote, public school teachers and medical
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: experts remain among the most respected groups we measured, even
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: as confidence in many political leaders and institutions remained low. Oh, so, oh,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: so we, we have here in this poll reflects that
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: we have great confidence in public school teachers and medical experts,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: medical experts like Amy Acton. 55KRC. iheart. com, where you can already
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: see the information from yesterday's program, the Smitherman, episode 155.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: He talked about Lindsey Clancy juror in racism. I didn't
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: understand that that was even a thing, and I got
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: a little upset. Not mad at Christopher Smitherman yesterday, but
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I was, like, outraged that that's a thing. Because he's
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: a black guy and a Republican, and he voted because
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: he thought he did not have any reasonable doubt that
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: she was guilty? None. And you're allowed to conclude that.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: You heard the evidence. And just because 11 people disagree
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: with you doesn't mean that you're wrong. That's how we
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: end up with hung juries. But what does race and
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: his political affiliation have to do with it? Was race
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: and political affiliation had anything to do with Lindsay Clancy?
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Did politics come up in her criminal trial? Anyway, that's
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: where the outrage for me came from because I was
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: not paying attention to the minutiae involved in the Lindsay
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Clancy trial. Anyway, outraged I was that she murdered her
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: three children. She didn't even deny that. Honor Flight Tri-State,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: it's today. Going to be at CVG about 9 p.m.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: Tonight?
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I hope so. Bring your kids. As I pointed out,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: it's good for you if you're outraged and you're dismayed
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: and you are upset with the situation. If you're upset
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: for any reason, you want to put a smile on
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: your face, maybe have an emotional reaction that springs from joy,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: that's tonight at CVG for the return flight. Those Vietnam
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: veterans deserve a welcome home like they never received, and
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: so we can do that for them tonight. So I
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: hope to see you there at CVG. Anyway, it's all
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: right there at 55KRC. com. 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK, pound 550 on AT &
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: T phones. What do you think about getting rid of
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: the gas tax or stopping the embargo of diesel? Well,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Senator Chuck Grassley, he's a Republican. He's from Iowa. He's
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: also head of the Senate Judiciary Committee. He called on
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Trump yesterday to, well, impose an embargo on diesel exports
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: because the price has gone through the roof. Hit a
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: record yesterday. High diesel prices are killing farmers' incomes. No
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: question about that. Although I did see some positive news
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: on fertilizer, parenthetically. Fertilizer stocks dropped tremendously in terms of
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: price because they're working on a potash deal with Belarus.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: At least the Trump administration is trying to find some
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: relief for fertilizer. So diesel and fertilizer have gone through
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: the roof. Of course, the American farmer is struggling with that.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: So what's the reaction? Let's embargo the diesel. We're going
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: to keep it here. The U.S. government, he said, can
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: embargo chips to China, that it can embargo diesel to
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: help American farmers and truckers. Yes, but the problem is
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: the ripple effect. What happens if you do that? The
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: world's not a static place. For every action, there's an
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: equal and opposite reaction, right? Well, the concern expressed by some,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: notably Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, he said, well, an export
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: ban on diesel will not lower prices at the pump
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: here in the United States. Saying, we would consider an
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: export ban if we thought that would actually might lower prices,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: but that's not the case. He said, you know, banning oil, gasoline,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: diesel exports could lead to, of course, retaliatory actions. We
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: saw that with the Trump tariffs, didn't we? Retaliatory actions
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: from other countries which could hurt consumers, which I got
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: a kick out of this one, hurt consumers in states
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: like California, which depend on energy imports because California's stupid
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: green policies resulted in the closures of refineries.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Personally, if I was an elected official, I wouldn't be
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: worried specifically about California. The rest of us don't have
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: to import petroleum from around the globe. California is a
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: different story. He said we'd stop exporting product, and somebody says, well,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: we're not going to export to California. Diesel price, in
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: case you're paying attention, risen by more than 28 cents
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: in the past week, a buck in the past month.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Regular gas now hit $ 4. 47 yesterday, average for the United States,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: maybe a little bit higher where you are or a
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: little bit lower like Indiana, which I think suspended its
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: gasoline tax. It's an option. Some talking about suspending the
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: federal gas tax, which could be easily done, but then
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: you hit concerns about people worrying about the federal highway dollars. Well,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: wait a second. Josh Hawley, for example, warned that it
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: would be a mistake for lawmakers not to do anything
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: to address fuel prices. He said the Highway Trust Fund
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: could be replenished later from other resources. Some Republicans are
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: concerned that suspending the tax would deplete the Highway Trust Fund.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know where the Democrats are on that one. So,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: But.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: The whole notion of them being concerned about the highway
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: trust fund being depleted. Can anybody check up on the
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Social Security trust fund? Since we're worried about trust funds
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: being depleted. Oh, that's right. We borrowed against that one.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: It doesn't exist, does it? 525 right now. 55 Kers
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: to the talk station. Feel free to call. Otherwise, local
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: stories coming up. I'll be right back. Tom is not
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: called in.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: 513-749-5500.
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: 800-823-TALK.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: 550 on AT & T, Tom. Don't vote. Well, at
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: least we get the message. Whoa, let us see here. Well,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: court said no. Wilmington, after they've been gathering signatures, drafting
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: a proposal aimed at regulating data centers in Wilmington. However,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: they lost their court battle yesterday in the Ohio Supreme Court.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Six to one ruling. Ohio Supreme Court sided with the
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Clinton County Board of Elections, blocking this citizen-led initiative from
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: appearing on the ballot in November.
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: Why?
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Well, the ballot provision included A proposed ordinance would have
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: allowed nearby residents to sue data center owners directly if
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: they thought the facilities were violating local rules. That proposal
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: would have allowed courts to issue daily fines, attorney's fees, injunctions,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: and even operational shutdowns. The Supreme Court said, well, now,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: cities like Wilmington cannot create brand new causes of action.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: They cannot create brand new legal rights through a local
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: ballot initiative. Specifically, the majority wrote, the proposed ordinance at
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: issue here purports to create a new cause of action
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: and therefore is not within the municipality's power to enact.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: So get your elected officials to pass a new law,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: and maybe you can do that. What's going on?
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: Furloughs?
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati Public Schools had a furlough yesterday. They say that's
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: the first of five scheduled furlough days. Why? Your children
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: are not able to go to school and learn because, well,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: they have to address the $ 58 million budget deficit. Parents
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: reportedly displeased about the decision to keep the children home.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: One parent, I guess speaking with Fox 19's Brooklyn Andrews, said,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: I just have to wonder if CPS is just trying
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: to pressure parents to vote for the levy coming in
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: this November. Astute observation. Joe Strecker is on board with
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: that conclusion. Just chimed into my headset.
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Furlough days cancel classes, access to all services at any
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: CPS location, and all after-school activities. With regard to its
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: impact on athletics, at least one parent said, I don't
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: understand how it affects practices. The field's open and we're
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: here playing. There's no cost savings there. Another astute observation.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: You know what this reminds me of is when Barack
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Obama closed the public parks because of the government shutdown.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: requiring federal workers to put up barricade fences on otherwise
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: wide open spaces that you could have accessed easily in
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: spite of the government being shut down.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: Huh?
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: How about that? Yeah, one parent who's a parent of
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: a special needs child says, my son is completely nonverbal.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: He knows his Mondays through Fridays are school days. These
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: kids know their routine. They know that they are supposed
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: to get on the bus. And obviously presenting a problem
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: for the parents who work. Superintendent Murphy said in a
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: previous email to parents, although the district balanced the 26-27 budget,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: continued financial discipline is necessary to protect classroom instruction and
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: essential student services. Financial discipline. Regular operations resume today. Parents
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: say they intend to send a letter to the district
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: outlining their concerns about the furlough days Ready? The next
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: one's already scheduled. Monday, November 2nd. That is the day
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: before the election, Joe. Why don't they just make it
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: the election day? Well, no, it would make it easier
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: to vote for the levy, wouldn't it? If they don't
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: have to go to school and the teachers aren't working,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: everybody goes and votes. Anyway, you work that math out
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: on your own. Bottom line is kids aren't learning, period.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Family in Florence Oak Brook neighbors say vandals damaged four
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: other cars overnight. Interiors were cut and some of the
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: vehicles had profanity scraped into the paint. Happened around 11 p.m. Sunday.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Resident Austin Hicks interviewed, they took a knife to the
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: interior of my car and to my stepmother's car. They
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: cut up all the seats. He says the third or
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: fourth time that his specific cars have been broken into.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Which I thought was rather funny. Fox 19 dedicating time
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: and resources to one family's struggles with obviously, I think,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: maybe an angry teenager or neighbor who's got it out
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: for them specifically. Apparently this is not a problem trending
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: in this specific neighborhood. Union Township Board of Trustees held
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: a work session last evening. Ultimately turned into a two-hour
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: town hall between elected officials, law enforcement, residents, and drumroll,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: flock members. Camera representative. Started at 7 p.m., trustee chairman
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Joe Dills, apologizing for not holding a similar meeting back
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: in 2024 when the township first started using flock cameras.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: He said, if I had a mulligan, if I had
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: a redo, we should have had this town hall two
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: years ago and not tonight. Well, two years ago, the
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: screams about privacy were not all the rage. This has
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: been a recent phenomenon, Joe. I think you're on solid ground.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: You're having a conversation now. Anyway, Union Township Police Chief
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Anthony Reeves commented in this meeting, went over how his
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: officers and detectives use the flock cameras and the policies
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: that his department has in place, which include how officers
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: log any documentation of flock camera queries, audits, and transparency.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: He said, I want the community to trust that we're
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: using this technology right. Flock's safety director was there, Trevor Chandler,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: also director of public affairs. He said the township is
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: the one who owns the flock data. Flock does not
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: own this data. It's very important. It's in the contract.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: In our terms and conditions, Flock does not sell the data. Obviously,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: addressing a couple of the primary concerns about that. Public comment.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Residents came forward and offered their comments on this. I'm
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: calling it a privacy issue, demanding that, well, we don't
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: want to be surveilled or suggesting they don't want to
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: be surveilled. One said, I don't want to be followed
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: by surveillance technology that has artificial intelligence learning capability. Just
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: wonder if anybody asked about the apps on their phones. Some,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: this is a suggestion someone called in the other day
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: about one residents asked whether they could decide whether the
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: future of flock and union township can go on the
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: ballot saying, I believe that people deserve to have the
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: final say my point yesterday to the caller. Well, we
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: live in a representative democracy, not a direct democracy that
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: And if we turn into a direct democracy, that's the
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: moment in time when people start voting everything into their pockets.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Cooler heads must prevail. Anyway, they're going to do this again.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: The meeting concluded. The trustees said no decision was made
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: basically at the meeting, but they're going to do it again.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Second Tuesday of October, they said they'll be making a
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: decision on what they're going to do with the Phlox camera.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: That's a comment from Joe Dills. Trustee John Baker chimed in.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: I'm prepared in our next meeting to vote to ask
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: our administrator to begin the process of shutting this system
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: down in Union Township, which, based upon the comments reported
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: by WCPO, seems to be the direction the citizens want
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: to go. 535-55-KRC-D Talk Station. We've got Stack of Stupid
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: to dive on into. It is 540 here at the
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: 55-KRC-D Morning Show, and happy one to you.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: Tuesday.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Lots going on this morning. Over to the stack of stupid.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: 16-year-old Florida boy accused of shooting a 15-year-old friend to
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: death in the dressing room of Dick's Sporting Goods. Phrasing. Actually, Joe,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: that relates to the other story involving print maxing.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Ahem.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: I may be able to get that one, although I
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: will wrestle with FCC compliance on that story that Joe
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: pulled out. He does this just to see if I
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: end up having to, I guess, hit the dump button
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: on myself. Or otherwise, I'll be levied a quarter of
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: a million dollar fine from the FCC. I think Joe's
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: waiting for that day. Is that what's behind all this, Joe?
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: You want me to get fined? Maybe. See, Joe is
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: convinced that I'm like the anchorman, that I will literally
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: read anything that is in front of me without pre-reading it.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: You see the grin on your face, Joe? I know.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I know what you're thinking. Anyway, back to the Dick's
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Sporting Goods store. Ahmed Webb, he's facing manslaughter with a
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: weapons charge in the shooting death of a guy named
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Jaden Law. Two months after the shooting, he was arrested.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: It happened again in the store in Brandon Exchange Mall
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: outside Tampa. Deputies with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office responded
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: at 4.30 in the afternoon on July 10th after employees
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: heard the gunshot. Cops showed up. The store found Law
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: dead in the dressing room from one single gunshot wound. Oh, look,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: surveillance footage, which showed three people, including Webb and Law,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: walk into the store, go into the dressing room together.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: After the gunshot rang out, Webb and the third person
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: ran out of the store into the parking lot where
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: they were arrested. A few minutes later, deputies didn't initially
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: find the gun on Webb. They Did find one in
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: a retention pond south of the mall the next day.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Tests confirm it was, in fact, the gun used in
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: the shooting. Authorities have yet to divulge what led up
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: to the shooting or how they identified Webb as the shooter.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Probable cause arrest affidavit that would contain some of the
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: details wasn't immediately available for the local news. Chief Jeopardy
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Joseph Maurer speaking with reporters. This is something that's really concerning.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: It's just a place where families come to shop. We
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: have a good time with their families. We have no
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: tolerance for that, particularly in this community setting. It was
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: determined Law's death was a homicide, shocking no one under
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: the circumstances. State attorney approved the manslaughter charge after an
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: extensive investigation. Webb's next court date not immediately listed. All right,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: so really we know nothing other than a guy got
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: shot in a Dick's Sporting Goods. Oh, this is interesting.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Very little information in here, but what would you do
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: if you were on a fishing trawler and you found
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: a drone floating around? That's what happened in Pensacola, Florida,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: where a fishing group caught a drone described as a
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: large drone in the Gulf of, is it America now, right?
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Hotspot Fishing Charter said the group was on a six-hour tour,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: not three. Mrs. Howell, Mr. Howell were not on the
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: boat when they found the drone. Now, if you're keeping
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: track of drones, I'm not familiar with the MQM-172 drone,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: although they do believe it's that kind. although not independently confirmed.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: That specific drone described as an unmanned aerial target aircraft
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: used by the U.S. military for training and weapons testing.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: The drone apparently picked up by U.S. authorities later in
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: the day. I'm going to go leaving drones laying around.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: All right. Now, on the heels of yesterday's Christopher Smith
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: event ranting about the... Lindsay Clancy trial. Of course, Lindsay
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Clancy admitted to killing her three kids and then claimed
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: it was postpartum depression or something which rendered her incapable
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: of determining right and wrong. He has an issue with that,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: so do I. Anyway, how about smoking weed? Ontario judge
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: acquitted a Toronto man who threw a seven-year-old girl to
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: the ground, punched her, and choked her right there in
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: her own family's driveway. But it's okay. He was acquitted.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Because he was high on weed and was having a
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: bout of cannabis-induced psychosis. Dude.
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 28:09
  Speaker 8: What the hell?
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Ahmed Begg. B-A-I-G. Ahmed Begg. No dispute that he attacked
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: a girl. He didn't deny it. Judge Mara Green nonetheless
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: found him not guilty of assault, causing bodily harm, and
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: assault by choking because he was so high at the time.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Happened August 2nd of 2023 in New York. Green wrote
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: that Begg left his house wearing only a towel. After
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: vaping candidates at home, allegedly for anxiety, the towel fell
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: off while he was chasing the child around in the driveway.
• 28:43
  Speaker 8: As is tradition.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, and the attack was captured on video. Girl's mom
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: told the court that he said both, I will kill
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: you and I won't kill you. He also referred to Allah,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: according to mom. Father said Bagg sounded nonsensical at times
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: and made comments about billionaires. Bagg said he had no
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: memory of the assault and next recalled being fingerprinted. Woke
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: up in the police department. Green accepted the non-mental disorder
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: automatism defense, which claims that the acts were not willed
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: closer to sleepwalking than a planned assault. Judge wrote that
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Begg has proven on a balance of probabilities that he
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: was acting as an automaton when he attacked a seven-year-old
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: girl in a driveway. Whatever. Thanks, Liam. I am satisfied
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: that Mr. Begg's voluntarily consumed cannabis had an unexpected reaction
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: to the cannabis that led to a state of psychosis
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: where he acted in an involuntary state and attacked the
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: young victim. Forensic psychiatrist Dr. Gary Chamowicz testified that Begg
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: was in a cannabis-induced psychosis with grandiose, paranoid, and disorderly thinking.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: aka sleepwalking, or both. And he didn't appreciate the nature
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: of what he was doing. Oh, it's okay. I was
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: high at the time. It seems to me there should
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: be some liability connected with, well, things that can be
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: proximately drawn to the drug that you chose to consume.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: In other words, yeah, can you get cannabis psychosis if
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: you consume cannabis?
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Are you impaired? Might you be unable to operate heavy
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: machinery when high on cannabis?
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Nonetheless, you went ahead and ingested cannabis. Ergo, shouldn't you
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: be responsible for the actions that can be, well, directly
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: drawn or directly resulting from your cannabis consumption?
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Well, that's my take on it anyway. 547-55KRC Talk Station.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: More stupid. Coming up. Be right back. 55KRC. Hey, Big
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Blue Nation. 551 at 55K or CD Talk Station. Happy Tuesday.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: I do have more stupid, but I'd rather talk to people.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: And look, there's a caller online. 513-749-5500. 800-823-TALK. 550 on
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: AT & T phones. Welcome back to the morning show.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: New Hampshire Gary. Good to hear from you. Happy Tuesday.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: Hey, Brian. I want to wish you a happy belated birthday.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Hey, thanks, man. Congratulations. Thanks to everybody who chimed in
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: yesterday on Facebook. I was overwhelmed with the support on Facebook.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: It's just like, man, I'm telling you, it's so nice
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: to have friends, and you're feeling a little blue on
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: any given day, and you look up and you're like,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: gosh darn it, people are so nice, and you're included
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: among that mix, Gary. I appreciate the well wishes, man.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: Thank you very much. Hey, I'd like to give you
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: a little thing that's going on up here in our
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: friendly communist country just south of the border here. Massachusetts.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: You know, Jennifer Healy, she is the governor of Mass,
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: and now they have a new law, or it's a
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: bill or a law, but they just announced that after
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: a couple gives birth or a woman gives birth, that
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: within two to three weeks afterwards, they come by, I'm
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: saying health officials, come by and they get to inspect
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: your house and give you quizzes and inspections you know
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: looking for anything they can for their own purposes to
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: make sure that the health and i got my fingers
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: in air quotes of the baby is not.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Compromised wow what a can of worms that is so
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: it's up to the subjective decision of the state official
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: to determine whether or not you are in a fit
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: household Correct. There's no abuse that could ever happen in
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: a situation like that, Gary. Never. Not in a million years.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: Wouldn't see it happening. Not in a million years. Just impossible.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: Is that a Bible over there I see?
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: Exactly. You know? Let's talk about your history, you know?
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Joe said Lindsey Clancy's from Massachusetts. Is that true, Joe? Okay,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: there you have it.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: Isn't that crazy?
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: That is frightening crazy. What right do they have to
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: enter your property? Do they have a warrant? But does
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: giving birth to a baby give them authority to enter
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: your home and inspect it? I would say hell no.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: Well, you would say that, but then again, they could
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: take your child.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Not without due process. Listen, in spite of the fact
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: you're in the state of Massachusetts, I still have enough faith,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: perhaps misplaced, in the judicial system to know that Hell no. Ultimately,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: some court will say, absolutely not. You have exceeded your authority.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: That is a constitutional violation. I mean, across the board.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: They just let off a woman who, well, they didn't
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: let her off. But I doubt she'll be retried. But
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: she just killed three of her children.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's Lindsey Clancy.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: Correct. So it's crazy.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: I guess the system failed. Lord knows, Gary, Lord knows
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: that if you just let government officials handle the situation
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: and make a determination as to whether you're a fit
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: parent and live in a fit household, there won't be
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: any problems whatsoever with the upbringing of those children. Problem solved. Because,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: you know, when you put these decision-making in the hands
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: of the government, you always get a consistently excellent, perfect
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: decision in all times and in all places. That's Man,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: that is disturbing. I think I'm going to have to
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: dive on into the details of that a little bit
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: more because I am really blown away that that's a
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: real thing. Stick around. We've got plenty to talk about
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: in the 6 o'clock hour. I certainly welcome phone calls,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: maybe a topic that's on your head or on your mind.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: I guess I'm not going to get to the shopping
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: bag penis growth method that doctors are warning people against
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: from the stack of stupid.
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: There's no flag for us.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Save it for tomorrow, he says. Maybe. I think that's
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: enough information to know. Just don't do it. Just because
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: a social media influencer says it doesn't mean it's the
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: right thing to do.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: There.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: I'm 100% backing that statement. Don't go away. Lots are
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: coming up in the 6 o'clock hour. I hope you
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: can listen. We're going to find out the Empower You
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: seminar series for the week coming up in an hour
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: with Dr. Jay Rissover taking over for Dan Reckonold. And
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: doing a great job, though, Dr.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: Jay.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: We are in great hands with the Empower You folks, Dr.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Jay at the helm. Tom Zawistowski, Weed People Convention, saying, hey,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: we're going to suspend the gas tax here in Ohio.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: We'll talk to him at 730. WeedThePeopleConvention.org is where you
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: find Tom throughout the week. Inside Scoop with Breitbart News.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Fast forward to 8.05. We're going to be talking with
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: Texas Border Associate Editor Bob Price on a variety of
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: things relating to the border. Daniel Davis with a deep
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: dive on Iran as well as Russia and Ukraine. And
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: we'll hear from Dr. Waterhouse, my former cancer doctor. He's
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: still with OHC. Shifted practice for a while and came back,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: but he's a great guy. We differ politically, but, man,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: he is the sweetest guy and a wonderful cancer doctor.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: So we'll get the latest on cancer information at 8.50.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Always really good information coming from OHC. And I consider
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: myself in the best hands with OHC providing my medical
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: care for my cancer, notably. I don't have lymphoma right now,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: which is a great thing after my second treatment protocol. Anyway,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: that's 8.50 with him. We'll have Jack Edlin and Judge
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Ann Napolitano on the program tomorrow. 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK. And a
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: quick reminder, 55KRC. iHeart. com when you can't listen live. A reminder
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: that it is Honor Flight Tri-State today. If you find
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: it in your heart to go to the CVG at
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: 9 p.m. to do the Welcome Home Ceremony, you're going
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: to be rewarded because you will be overwhelmed with patriotism.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: And those Vietnam veterans that never had a welcome home
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: are going to get a great one tonight, I assure
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: you of that. If you've got young people in your world,
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: get them in the car, put them in a bus,
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: take them over to CVG and let them experience patriotism
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: like they've never seen before. So cool it is. Let's
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: go to the phones before we get started on other
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: areas and see what Jay's got this morning. Jay, welcome
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: to the show. Happy Tuesday to you.
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: Hey, happy Tuesday and happy birthday.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: My brother.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, thanks, man. Kind of you.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: You bet. You bet.
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: Hey, this whole point about Ohio turning blue, I understand
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: the concern. I understand that we should never vote for Democrats.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: I never will.
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: But I also believe that actions have consequences. And when
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: you take a look at the federal level, and I
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: know this is a state race, but people put all
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: of that together as Republican Party members. I think what
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: we're seeing is consequences of Trump, the head of the
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: Republican Party, has a bad habit of abandoning conservative principles
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: and even constitutional boundaries at times. And I've called in,
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: and we've talked about when he starts to want to
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: set prices for beef or prices for this or tell
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: the gas station owners that– Here's how much you need
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: to charge for a price of gasoline.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Or enter into businesses by buying chunks of private businesses,
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: which to me is the, you know, it's a socialist
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: direction or communist direction, owns of the means of production.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: That's a bad turn for me as well.
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: And then you have Mike DeWine with an eight year
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: failure in moving the state forward. You know, shortly after
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: he got in his first term, he raised the gas
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: tax 10 cents per gallon because the, quote, fiscal emergency.
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: Now they have four billion dollars in a rainy day fund.
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: And as Tom Zalastowski points out, Tom's been putting pressure
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: on Ohio Republicans of why don't you give that gas
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: tax back?
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: They won't.
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: DeWine was responsible for launching Amy Atkins' political career, even
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: though she was a known Obama campaign advisor before he
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: pulled her into his Republican administration, did the lockdown, did
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: everything like that. And whenever he ran for second term,
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: there was the Ohio State Republican Committee, full-throated support of
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: Mike DeWine, all the influence, all the money. locked down
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: the state during COVID, vetoed giving the power back until
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: the state and the House overrode his veto. And then Vivek,
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: I think he's very conservative.
• 39:38
  Speaker 7: I like most of what he says.
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: But then he refuses to get behind property tax abolishment.
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: And he also chose Rob McCauley, who's a known swamp monster,
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: president of the Senate. And I think a lot of
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: Ohio voters looked at him and said, well, welcome to
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: the machine. He now got in with the Republican Party.
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: No kidding, he's not going to sign up on the
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: property tax.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you this, Jay, because you've been
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: on this subject before. And I've given Vivek Ramaswamy credit
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: for at least suggesting a rollback to 2019. That's not
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: good enough for you, Jay, as an individual with a
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: different position. But it is a rollback. It does take
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: steps to reduce the property taxes to the pre-COVID levels.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: It's a step in the right direction. You've got to remember,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: he is running a political race. And if he says
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: roll them back and eradicate them completely, he has opened
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: himself up to a mountain of not only criticism from
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: every single entity and a lot of concerned taxpayers who
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: like their public parks, who like their public schools. The teachers'
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: union would revolt in radical fashion. And obviously, the campaign...
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: thrown against Vivek Ramaswamy based on that issue makes it very,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: very complicated. We'll call it a baby step. Maybe it's
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: more than a baby step. Rolling it back to 2019,
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: I think he gets support from both sides of the
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: political ledger. It's not radical like eradicating them completely, throwing
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: the statehouse into a state of disarray to come up
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: with a solution. I mean, you have a lot of
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: Republicans you'd have to answer to on that one. Vivek,
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: what are you going to do if we get rid
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: of property taxes? I mean, it's very complicated. So by
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: doing a smaller step, He is advocating for, or at
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: least acknowledging the problem we have in Ohio with property taxes,
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: advancing a position that does give us some relief and
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: avoids the massive baggage that goes along with an outright,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: we're just going to eliminate them. Do you think he
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: has an answer to the question of what do we
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: do if we just outright eliminate them? I don't know.
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think it's as complicated as people think
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: it is. Shrink the size of the government. We don't
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: need to have $ 120 billion annual budget.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Which areas are we going to shrink? Medicaid fraud.
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: Medicaid fraud would be the first place I would shrink.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: I go back every time you and I talk about this.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: I keep pointing out that just saying we need to
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: go after and prosecute or get rid of Medicare fraud.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: Everybody agrees to get rid of fraud. I think they've
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: taken a lot of steps in that direction, but are
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: you talking about prosecuting people? Identifying the fraud specifically and
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: calling it out again requires an evidentiary gathering of documents
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: and data and information. You can say it, but achieving
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: it is going to be a process that's going to
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: take time. You just don't say, eliminate fraud and magically
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: appear with a massive bag of additional money that's not
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: going out into the world because of fraud that will
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: substitute the revenue that was coming in from property tax.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: It's too simplistic of an answer.
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: Well, Well, here's where you and I disagree. The CMS,
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: when they were sued by Americans for Prosperity, the federal
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: government came out with a list that said, here is
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: all the improper payments in the state of Ohio that
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: equaled the 43.3%. Now, they've had that for years. How
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: did they generate that if they didn't already know where
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: the fraud was coming from? I think they know where
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: it is. It's the execution and the follow-up. And it
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: has gone very quiet in Ohio, wouldn't you agree, versus Minnesota.
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: I have not heard anything about how– where are we
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: ranked right now in the state? Are we still last?
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: Who's working on it?
• 43:11
  Speaker 7: Anybody?
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: That is the thing that I think is what's turning
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: voters off is not half steps. More like let's get
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: bold about this and get moving and listen to the voters.
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: So the person running for office has– You know, they
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: can either listen to the voters and move towards the
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: voters or they can, you know, dig in three points
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: behind Amy Acton and say, I'm going to hold to
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: my principles.
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: We'll go ahead.
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: You will lose an election.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: Well, with Amy Acton ahead three points, if we believe
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: that again, you know, polls, we have no idea. Let's
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: assume it's a sake. What is her position on property taxes?
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's terrible.
• 43:47
  Speaker 7: It's terrible.
• 43:48
  Speaker 6: But how is it that she's three points ahead?
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's not an issue that's resonating with Ohio voters.
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: I think Republicans are tired of holding their nose and
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: going to the polls and voting for Kasich and DeWine.
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: Ancient history, Jack.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: Ancient history, man. We have moved on from those moments
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: in time.
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: Well, we can't, you know, you don't shake the etch-a-sketch
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: and start over and just say, okay, we don't have
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: a problem with central committee because we are a very
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: red state.
• 44:17
  Speaker 7: We are not.
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: So when central committee is still steering.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: What is red Jay? I mean, I keep going by
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: the fact you just can't say we're not a red state.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: We are. What are Republicans? I mean, seriously, this is
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: the question we got to get. What the hell does
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: it mean to be a Republican or what the hell
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: does it mean to be a Democrat anymore? It's not
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: red for Jay. It's not, it's, it's pink. Listen, Therein
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: lies the challenge. Are you going to vote for a
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: Republican or are you going to vote for a Democrat?
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: Knowing full well that— I'm.
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: Going to vote for a Republican.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: There you have it.
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: I'm talking about what I think is what's happening. I'm
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: going to hold my nose again.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: That's what we're asking.
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: And so are a lot of people. After Kasich and DeWine,
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: here we go again. But don't pin this all on
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: the voters. Ramaswamy could move right, and we heard from
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: Tom Zalastowski, they're not listening. So some of the blame
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: splashes up on the candidate who decides what they're going
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: to do and what they're not going to do. And
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: so it's not all the voters' fault whenever we lose
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: this thing. Central Committee has 16 years of failed rhinos
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: that they keep putting in office. It's on them as well.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: Well, you know.
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: Don't let everybody share in the blame of where we're at.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: It isn't just the voters.
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't pin this on the voters and say, what
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: the hell's the matter with the Republican voters in Ohio?
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: When are you going to run for Central Committee, Jay?
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: You know, my view would be to shut it down, brother.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: If that is a position that you advocate for, you
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: could actually do that and maybe be embraced by the people.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: We need a guy like Jay who's going to just
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: basically end central committee because that's where he believes the
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: fault is. If that's a winnable proposition, then there you go.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: And you can achieve that goal. Clearly, you're not satisfied
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: with the people who are on central committee. That's an
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: election as well. Elections have consequences, whether it's there, it's
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: in the primaries or it's in November. We're stuck with
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: what we've got. some version of whatever it means to
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: be a Republican or some version of whatever it means
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: to be Democrat. In this particular case, Ramaswamy and act
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: in for governor. And I don't think there's even a
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: choice there that needs to be made. It's an obvious
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: choice in Ramaswamy. And I don't believe he's going to
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: be remotely anything like DeWine. It certainly doesn't sound like it.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: I got confidence in him, and that's why I'm going.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: I'm full on for Ramaswamy, and I've got no hesitation
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: about that. 6, 17, 55KRC Talk Station. Maybe you feel differently.

• 46:54
  Speaker 1: engaged in conversation with Joe Stracker, Okay, let me have
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: a shot at Trump. I'd normally like to pile on,
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: but I just think this is dumb. Why would you
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: waste valuable political capital giving the Democrats and some people
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: like me fodder for criticism? Question, do we need a
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: triumphal arch? No, right? We're $ 40 trillion in debt. I
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: think the last thing we need to do is pay
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: for a triumphal arch. And I guess Donald Trump's trying
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: to save his idea to build a triumphal arch by
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: suggesting it's going to be a military installation. They're proposing
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: a 250-foot-tall triumphal arch near Washington, and I guess maybe
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: he ran into some complications with regard to funding or
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: building it, so now he's decided that after what he
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: called a strong request from the Pentagon to convert the
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: triumphal arch into a quote top grade military complex slash
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: triumphal art arch for the purpose of storage of drones
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: and sniper ammunition. So it's going to be a sniper
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: perch and a drone launching facility. Now within the triumphal
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: arch saying there'll be no facility like this anywhere in
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: the world. And when I read that, I said, Maybe
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: there's a reason why there's nothing in the world like this,
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: because from Brian Thomas's perspective, it just sounds like a
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: dumb idea. Military experts suggest the same thing. Out of
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: the 59 top cities and capitals, Washington, D.C. is the
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: only one in the world that does not have a
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: triumphal arch. Pentagon spokesperson said the Defense Department had no
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: information beyond Trump's social media posts, referring back to his
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: comment that it was a strong request he received from
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: the Pentagon to use this as a sniper perch and
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: drone launching facility. It's supposed to be outside Arlington National Cemetery.
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: Representative Don Beyer suggested he's a Democrat. Of course, He said,
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: referring to the Arches of Military Complex, he believes is
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: meant to be a defense in a future lawsuit that
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: the project is tied to national security. He referred to
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: that as obviously idiotic. He's entitled to this conclusion. Said
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: in a statement, putting a drone launching site directly in
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: a landing path for Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is stupid, dangerous,
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: and unworkable. Pivot over to retired Marine Corps Colonel Mark Cancane,
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: who was interviewed by the Washington Times about this. He's
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: a senior advisor with the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: He said the location of the Trump Arch outside the
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: main gate for Arlington National Cemetery, not exactly well suited
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: for a sniper platform or drone launching site. Saying the
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: snipers would have a limited field of fire, not being
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: very close to either the White House or the Pentagon.
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: Drone operations would be constricted because this is on the
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: flight path for aircraft flying in a national airport. No
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: one suggested or explained how the ordinance will be stored
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: in the triumphal arch. Colonel Cancane, how will the ammunition
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: be handled? Bullets aren't practically difficult to store, but anything
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: larger requires elaborate safeguards. Pointing to the idea that, well,
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: if this is a public site, you know, Triumphal Arch
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: is going to have visitors. Typically with military installations like that,
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: they require a perimeter of security. So defeating the purpose
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: of a public exhibition. Pointing out that excluding tourists undermines
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: the commemorative purpose of the arch. A quote from Colonel Cancane.
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: Defend it. Feel free. Bobby's on the line. Hang on, Bobby.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: Out of time. It's 626 MTV Talk Station. Appreciate the sponsors'
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: support in the morning show. I'm just scratching my head
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: over a cow sheet promoting voting on political races. And
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: when I said that, Joe Strucker responded to me. He said,
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: Adam Kaler posted the other day, if you vote for
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: Vivek Ramaswamy, is it cow sheet, Joe? A thousand buck
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: vet gets you 2,200 bucks. if Vivek wins. So public
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: odds are against Vivek Ramaswamy. That is disturbing. Maybe that's
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: more reflective of actual polling information than the polls that
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: we're receiving. I don't know. Let's go over to the
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: phone and see what Bobby's got. Bobby, welcome back to
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: the 55KRC Morning Show. Happy Tuesday to you.
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: Hey, morning, Brian. Faith Flag family, and today's two for Tuesday.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we had two shootings last night, one in Bond
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: Hill and Price Hill. Young boy got shot last night
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: at midnight.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you are right about that.
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: Stay healed. Stay healed. That's the best advice I can
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: give the public.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: Shortly before 10 a.m., Franklin Road near Paddock for the
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: shooting yesterday, and then we had a teen shot in
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: the 1900 block of Westmont Lane, 11.30 p.m. last evening.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: So there's two already.
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: Two already.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: In advance of your Thursday over and under for the
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: weekend violence. So outside of the over and under, there
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: are numbers counting there, Bobby. So quick, Bob, before we
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: park company, do we need a triumphal arch or no?
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: We need one for the president.
• 52:15
  Speaker 7: He needs to put a big T up on the
• 52:17
  Speaker 7: top of it.
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: See, that's kind of the way I was thinking. You know,
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: in my mind, we shouldn't name anything after anybody until
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: they're dead. We learned a hard lesson with Pete Rose, right?
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: The second street, we named it. And then we find
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: out that he lied to us over and over and
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: over and over and over again. So that was when
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: I originally came up with that idea. But let other
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: people down the road decide whether or not someone's name
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: deserves to be on something. If you do it in
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: your own best interest, I think it looks rather, oh,
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know, is narcissistic an appropriate word to put
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: on that? Bobby, appreciate you playing around with me on
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: that one. I know I want to put you on
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: the spot, man, but I don't get the whole idea
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: of an arch. Maybe Maureen does. Bobby, take care. Maureen,
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: welcome back to The Morning Show. Happy Tuesday to you.
• 52:59
  Speaker 5: Hi, good morning, Brian. Happy belated birthday.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 53:03
  Speaker 5: I want to talk about what Trump launched last night.
• 53:06
  Speaker 5: I think it's a pretty big deal. It's Trump TV.
• 53:09
  Speaker 5: The essential station is how they're billing it. It's going
• 53:12
  Speaker 5: to run 24-7, and it's going to go over all
• 53:16
  Speaker 5: the major remarks and must-see events and highlight streaming.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: Is it going to be biased?
• 53:22
  Speaker 5: In real time. It's going to be just in real
• 53:24
  Speaker 5: time what's happening. So, you know, in order to try
• 53:28
  Speaker 5: to combat the mockingbird media, which you don't get the
• 53:32
  Speaker 5: full story, and I know that they're filing suit against him,
• 53:35
  Speaker 5: and he said he's going to launch a countersuit. in
• 53:40
  Speaker 5: response to them. And I think that's kind of a
• 53:42
  Speaker 5: trap that they walked into because then they're going to
• 53:44
  Speaker 5: be able to expose all the false stories. You know,
• 53:48
  Speaker 5: all the things about Hunter Laptop and COVID and even
• 53:51
  Speaker 5: like Jussie Smollett.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: But we all know that. See, I know it's all lies.
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: You know it's all lies because there are other media
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: outlets reporting on it and countering the left-wing narrative that
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: there's nothing to see here or the version they give
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: you that we know is contrary to the truth. We're
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: going to pick and choose between what we're going to support,
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: what we're going to not support. I mean, it's like
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: Air America. How well did that do? It tanked because
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: no one listened to it. How are CNN's ratings doing?
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: They went through the toilet.
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: Because no one believes them anymore. It's the market forces
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: that are working against these idiots. They're providing information that
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: we don't believe that is contrary to the truth, and
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: therefore we don't listen or pay attention to it anymore.
• 54:34
  Speaker 5: Well, there's going to be some really big things coming
• 54:36
  Speaker 5: on Trump TV. I don't think it's any coincidence that
• 54:40
  Speaker 5: Julian Assange announced his comeback on Friday. He's on X,
• 54:44
  Speaker 5: and his two words he posted were, I'm back. So
• 54:47
  Speaker 5: he's going to be on Trump TV revealing things, is
• 54:50
  Speaker 5: my opinion. Edward Snowden is going to be coming back.
• 54:52
  Speaker 5: They've got all the information with all the deep state players,
• 54:56
  Speaker 5: a lot of politicians, a lot of A lot of
• 55:00
  Speaker 5: Hillary and Obama and Clinton, certain things going on there.
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: Well, where are they now?
• 55:04
  Speaker 5: I look for Julian Assange to enter the picture. They
• 55:06
  Speaker 5: just entered the picture Friday.
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, no. Where have they been
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: for all the years that we've had their name in
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: the news? I mean, don't they have a podcast? Aren't
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: they providing information to the public online like anybody can?
• 55:19
  Speaker 5: Well, they do have WikiLeaks, but I think they're going
• 55:22
  Speaker 5: to get front stage on Trump TV and then also
• 55:26
  Speaker 5: Catherine Harrods. She's going to have Gitmo TV. They have
• 55:29
  Speaker 5: a media center in Guantanamo Bay. They're going to be
• 55:32
  Speaker 5: broadcasting from there. And if Trump didn't have his 24-7
• 55:36
  Speaker 5: Trump TV that just came into effect last night at 7,
• 55:39
  Speaker 5: we would probably hear a skewed version of what's going
• 55:42
  Speaker 5: on in Gitmo or what's going on with Julian Assange.
• 55:45
  Speaker 5: Now we can get the true story. So I think
• 55:48
  Speaker 5: it's important and I think it's going to be very
• 55:50
  Speaker 5: well received.
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: Joe Stracker, a man who is sort of the spokesperson
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: for the people. His reaction while you were talking was
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: first saying it sounds like Kim Jong-un. And then what
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: was the other one?
• 56:02
  Speaker 9: Pravda.
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: Pravda. So that's Joe's reaction. No liberal is Joe Strecker.
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: The question for me is timing. Do we need to
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: have a discussion about a triumphal arts? Do we need
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: to have Donald Trump creating Trump TV as we head
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: into November? These are lightning rod issues that even sort of,
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: you know, conservatively individuals might think are a really profoundly
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: bad idea.
• 56:24
  Speaker 5: Well, I think it's good that those other options are
• 56:28
  Speaker 5: still available, so it's not like he's taking them over.
• 56:31
  Speaker 5: They can still broadcast their lies and whatever else they
• 56:34
  Speaker 5: want to say, and they can do it from the
• 56:36
  Speaker 5: street corner outside the White House if they want to.
• 56:38
  Speaker 5: Nobody's stopping them. This is a sole takeover, and it's
• 56:42
  Speaker 5: the only station we have like Pravda. So we have
• 56:46
  Speaker 5: options still, but I think if you're not watching Trump TV,
• 56:49
  Speaker 5: you're really going to miss out. on the really key
• 56:52
  Speaker 5: important things that are going to be extremely important before
• 56:54
  Speaker 5: this midterm election.
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, tick-tock, tick-tock. We're almost down to like a month
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: away from it. Whatever's going to happen, it better happen
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: damn quickly. We need some traction. We need something that
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: is going to benefit the Republicans going into the election.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: I just don't see that it comes in the form
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: of Trump TV. That's just my reaction. We're all entitled
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: to our opinions. You heard Joe's reaction. I just passed
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: it along. Appreciate it, Maureen.
• 57:17
  Speaker 6: You know I love you.
• 57:18
  Speaker 7: For Julian Assange.
• 57:20
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: Love you, too. 637-55-CARES-CD-TALK-STATION, 513-749-5500-800-823-TALK. A great product. How can
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: you go wrong with a product that pays for itself
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: and provides an immediate benefit to you?
• 57:33
  Speaker 6: 642-55-CARES-CD-TALK-STATION.
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK, pound 550 on AT & T phones. Apologies
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: for being overly critical about Trump this morning, although on
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: the heels of this poll from Bowling Green State University,
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: I started the show looking at with 60% of Ohioans
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: disapproving of Trump. We've got a problem on our hands
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: right now. You know, I mean, you want to walk
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: through the minutia and ultimately get to where we are
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: right now, and you can say, well, this isn't Trump's
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: fault necessarily on any given issue. But you've got to
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: pay your electric bill. You've got to fill your gas
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: tank up. You're pissed off about it. The current administration,
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: as in all cases, will get the blame for it.
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: So a lot of these distractions going around seem to
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: me to be unnecessary at this moment in time. That's
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: kind of where I am. We don't need to do
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: anything out here in the world to cause people to
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: have more concern or feed the fuel of fire of
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: malignant narcissism that's been a charge levied against Trump for
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: a very long time. And someone please answer this question
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: for me. I was so disturbed from local stories, and
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: I didn't do local stories at the bottom of the
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: hour because they had phone calls, and that's great. But
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: the idea that since public schools are doing furloughs because
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: they have a budget problem, five furlough days. Yesterday was
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: one of them. They just shut the schools down. Kids
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: can't go to school, so kids are not learning. Teachers
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: aren't showing up at the schools. They're not doing any
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: after-school activities either. As one parent is observing, how in
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: the hell can this affect practices? How can you shut
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: down schools? football field when no one's there? We just
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: show up and play football or whatever. Exactly. It's like
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: parallel I do to Obama shutting down the public parks
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: during the federal government shutdown. They're open spaces. You don't
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: shut them down. But here's the question I have. If
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: you don't open the school, do you save any money
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: Are the teachers taking a one-day pay cut and not
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: getting paid? Will there be no electricity flowing to the schools?
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: Will they be completely dark and shut down? Will they
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: have no utility bills for the one day or the
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: five total days that they're going to be shut down?
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: How does this achieve cost savings? I'm worried about the children.
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, Lord Almighty, am I worried about the children.
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: You should be worried about the children, too. Look at
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: the test scores. Does one day off of school benefit
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: the children in any way, shape, or form? And as
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: most noted, the Brooklyn Adams of Fox 19 reporting on this,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: they said that they did balance the budget for the
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: 26-27 school year, and yet they're still facing a $ 58
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: million budget deficit. Five days of school to address a
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: $ 58 million budget deficit. Someone please explain the math on
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: that to me. Listen, I'm not completely smart. I don't
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: know everything in this world. Maybe I'm missing a critical
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: point on this. What's more important, a children's education or
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: one day of shutdown? What cost savings? What is the
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: cost-benefit analysis considering the damage that has been done and
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: will be further exacerbated by fewer school days for the children? Anybody? Anybody? 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: I've got a recommendation for you. Get Gregory Lester over
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: near your yard to help save the life of your trees.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: He's been doing that for us for a while.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 6: 100 Woke Bees is.

  Speaker 1: 155 KRZ, The Talk Station.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: 706 here at 55 KRC Talk Station.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: Happy Tuesday. Happy first day of fall. Nice fall-like weather
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: out there. We're free from that nonsense we've been dealing with.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: Hate the heat and humidity. Anyhow, that I run contrary
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: to my wife's opinion in that regard. Good morning, Paulette.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: And good morning and welcome back to the 55 KRC
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: Morning Show here to discuss the Empower You Seminar for
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: the week. The man who's at the helm of Empower You,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: Jay Rissover.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 7: Dr.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: Jay Rissover, welcome back to the morning show, my friend.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: It's great talking with you.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 7: Thank you, Brian, and happy fall to you, too.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: Thank you, man.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 7: It's just lovely out for a change. A little crisp
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 7: to the air.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: I like it that way. Yeah, this is perfect weather
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: from my perspective. Subjectivity, that's what it's all about there, Dr. J. And,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: you know, Joe Strecker mentioned Adam Kaler earlier, and I
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: see that the Empower U seminar tonight features Adam Kaler,
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: and you're going to give us the details on that
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: in a moment. And Joe said that Adam Kaler, It
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: passed along the other day that if you're betting on
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: Koushi for the Ohio Governor's race, that $ 1, 000 for Acton
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: would net you $ 2, 200. I just pulled up Koushi to
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: see if that was even accurate. Well, at Koushi, and
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: that is what the people believe in terms of their
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: willingness to put money behind it, Amy Acton is beating
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: Vivek Ramaswamy at Koushi 57% to 43%. Oh, my God.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 7: That's disappointing news, isn't it?
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: It really is. Anyhow, that's the chance of winning, 57%
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: if you're betting on Amy Acton. I had asked Joe
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: about his feelings on that race, and opinions are like sphincters.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: We've all got one, and I know you're really a
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: political weed dweller. Joe is convinced that she's going to win.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: He said the blue cities are all going to come
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: out overwhelmingly for Acton, and there aren't enough rural red
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: voters to counter the blue onslaught. I'm hoping he is
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: dead wrong, but Joe is fairly astute when it comes
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: to these kind of things. So that's really got me
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: down this morning, Jay.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 7: Well, it's still too early. It is still August. We have, what,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 7: almost two months, more than a month and a half.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 7: So perhaps something will happen. But can I talk about
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 7: something a little more optimistic?
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: Of course. Use that as a pivot to talk about
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: something optimistic. Jay, that's what you're here for. Empower you.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 7: First off, the first optimistic thing is our website is
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 7: completely fixed. Everyone relax. Joe, you can calm down. You
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 7: don't have to protect Brian and iHeart any longer. We
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 7: have completely cleaned the website, completely removed it, and reinstalled it.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 7: It took a little effort. Dan says he's lived through
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 7: this six times before, but this is kind of embarrassing
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 7: to start off the season. We start off the semester
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 7: with a virus, but it's all good now. Anybody can
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 7: go and be perfectly safe to our website.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at it right now.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 4: Good.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 7: Empoweryouamerica.org. Please come, and we'd like you to come and
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 7: register for our class. So we have two this week,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 7: one on Tuesday, and actually two on Thursday. First Tuesday tonight,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 7: September 22nd, with Adam Kohler, who started the Cincinnati Exchange.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 7: No stranger to anyone on this program. He's going to
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 7: be talking about the Hatton County Children's Services levy. And
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 7: it's kind of nice to get into weeds a little bit,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 7: get into the facts. He has all kinds of facts
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 7: for us about this This levy, which would raise the
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 7: Hampton County property tax costs from about eighty two dollars
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 7: to about one hundred and twenty one dollars per one
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 7: hundred thousand dollars of home value. And he's going to
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 7: go into their budget and what they propose to do
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 7: and how this reflects in Cincinnati. And you know him.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 7: He's a guy who's always giving us the details. And
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 7: I can't wait to hear this.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 7: From Adam Kohler.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: Well, and I would like to think that any levy
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: is on thin ice given the property tax problems that
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: we're all facing right now. Obviously, that's a big issue
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: with the gubernatorial race. We were talking about that a
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: little bit earlier today. You've got the property tax initiative
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: to completely eliminate property taxes. Of course, candidates promising things.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: Ramaswamy is running on a pledge to take them back
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: to 2018. But the idea that you have to run
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: on a pledge to roll back property taxes, how is
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: it that these levies even stand a chance of winning?
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 7: And you were talking about the Cincinnati Board of Education,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 7: and they may not have a big tax increase of
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 7: like a billion dollars. What was it, five years ago
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 7: or something? CPS? I seem to remember this. Seven years ago.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 7: And now here they are running out of money again.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 7: But anyway, that's a different topic. That's different children. The
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 7: same children, different taxes. But anyway, that will be tonight.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 7: Adam Kohler, I'm looking forward to it. And then Our
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 7: big class is Thursday, September 24th. We have two classes. One,
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 7: Politicians Must Earn Your Vote by Mark Pukita. He's an
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 7: interesting fellow. He has started an organization called Ohio Common Ground.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 7: And the idea is for a statewide organization to give
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 7: Ohio voters a stronger, more organized voice in their government.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 7: And he's trying to come up with principles and topics
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 7: that the 80 percent topics that everyone agrees with, maybe
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 7: even across party lines. And he's kind of trying to
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 7: to take over local politics for the people, make the
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 7: politicians work for the people. Interesting topic and one I
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 7: think we all would agree with.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of organizations out there that are endeavoring
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: to do that, at least on some level or another.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm just wondering how Ohio Common Ground is going
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: to differentiate themselves from other organizations attempting to win over
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: the hearts and minds of our elected officials.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 7: Well, I am uncertain, which is why we lost him
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 7: on to find out.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 7: And, you know, we should probably get some of these
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 7: other groups one day, too, maybe next semester. Because you
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 7: are right. This is something you hear frequently. But the
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 7: big class, which I think everybody listening might have an
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 7: interest in, is the history of Cincinnati Stouts. Yeah. That's
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 7: this Thursday, and our classes run from 7 to 8.30.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 7: So we are going to look at the history of Cincinnati, Chile,
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 7: the 10 or so Chile parlors that have sprung up,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 7: where they came from, the people behind them, and the food.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 7: And Jay Kathman is our lecturer. I wanted to get
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 7: him to talk. He's a fascinating guy, lifelong resident of Cincinnati.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 7: He volunteers at our local museums, so he's very local
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 7: Cincinnati history-minded. And he has amassed a bit of information
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 7: on this topic. We can't wait to hear it. And
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 7: I've got to say, we have one little plus. Anybody
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 7: who registers and comes on Thursday, September 24th for our class. And,
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 7: of course, that's at Scarlet Oaks, everyone. If you register
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 7: and attend, there just might be some chili dogs there
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 7: for those who are registered and attend.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: Answering the question i certainly was going to ask jay
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: if you're doing a live seminar on the 10 original
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: chili restaurants in the history of chili in the city
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: of cincinnati you've got to have chili there there's got
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: to be you know what there should be like uh
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: i mentioned it when we were talking about this the
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: first time around uh we had a chili contest when
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: i was living in chicago there was another uh a
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: partner at the firm i was with was from cincinnati
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: and So he said, what we need to do is
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: get a can of all the chilies that we can
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: find and have a chili tasting contest. So we got
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: Dixie and Cincinnati chili and all the rest that we
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: can find in cans. And we did our own analysis.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: And ultimately, I was surprised, honestly, that Gold Star won
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: the competition among the folks at the law firm there.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 7: Isn't that interesting?
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: I know. I was shocked myself. I was there and
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: it was a blind tasting, and that's how it ended
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: up turning out. So that's the reality of it.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 7: It's a fun party idea. It sounds like a fun
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 7: party idea. Maybe we should do that at a Bengals
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 7: game sometime at home.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: It's like the Coke, Pepsi, RC Cola challenge. Can you
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: tell the difference between them if they're all lined up
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: in unmarked glasses? So let's do that with chili. It
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: sounds like a fun time. So that's 7 p.m. at
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: 300 Scarlet Oaks Drive. That's September 24th, so that's Thursday, right?
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 7: You took the words right out of my mouth. It's
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 7: almost like you've done this before, Brian.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: No, it's almost like I'm staring at a PowerUAmerica.org's front page, Jay.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 7: With no viruses or anything on it. It's amazing.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: Congratulations on ironing that out. So next week at the 29th,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: how to influence your federal legislators and October 1st for
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: the BRCA murder case revisited at 60 years with J.T. Townsend.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: Some great stuff coming up on a PowerU, Jay.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 7: That's right. And we'll have I'm Zalatowski, also on October 1st,
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 7: looking at the Ohio races. So, yeah, we have stuff
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 7: coming up and more, of course. But looking forward to
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 7: see everybody there. It's fun over at Scarlet Oaks. Oh,
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 7: there's a little bit of construction in the parking lot
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 7: right in front of us. There's plenty of parking, but
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 7: you have to walk just a tiny bit further. And
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 7: there is one virgin lot that's right in front of
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 7: us and has a nice paved walkway right to the
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 7: front door. But I still haven't figured out how to
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 7: get to it with all the construction up. And it
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 7: might be different by Tuesday and Thursday or so. But
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 7: we have parking.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 3: It's there. It's plentiful.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 7: Just, you know, you'll see the fences and the parking.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 7: You can get around it easily. Easily.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: Well marked, and of course, anybody in my listening audience
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: is smart enough to figure that one out, Jay. I've
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: got confidence in them. Dr. Jay Rissover, thank you for
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: chiming in on Empower U America, and thanks for your
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: work at getting the webpage going back again. It's up,
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: it's running, and all the information is there. These are
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: outstanding educational opportunities, so salute to you, Jay, for helping out.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 7: Salute to the technical team. I had little to do
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 7: with it. It was a gang that was involved.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: Somebody's got to direct the ship. Jay, thanks, man. We'll
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: have you back on to talk about more Empower You
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: seminars down the road. EmpowerYouAmerica.org. There's a link on my
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: blog page, 55KRC. com.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 3: Don't go away, folks.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: We've got a little time to talk in the next segment.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: Feel free to call up. We'll figure out something to
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: talk about between now and then. Just don't leave it
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: in my hands. But something I do definitely want you
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: to do is call Zimmerman. 55KRC, the talk station. 720
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: here at 55K RCB Talk Station.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 5: 513-749-5500.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: 800-823-TALK. 550 on AT & T phones. Coming up next.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: Bottom of the hour with Tom Zawistowski from wethepeopleconvention.org. Of course,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: got to get out and vote as much as we
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: may have to hold our nose one way or another.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: And you better get out in record numbers. When my
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: executive producer firmly believes Amy Acton is going to win
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: this election, that's got me down. I give Joe Strecker
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of credit for being astute in his political observations,
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: and he's just like, no, we just can't happen. I'm like, okay,
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: now I'm going to say this out loud, much as
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say it out loud. I mean,
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: do you think Joe Strecker's right? You know, the way
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: to counter that is to get off your butt and
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: go to vote. I don't understand why that's a challenge
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: for anyone. Lord Almighty, Amy Acton? If you can't even
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: produce a polished television commercial, trust me, I understand the
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: value of a politician's television ad. But if that's the
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: best you can get out of a polished spot from
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: Amy Acton and she won't debate, she won't answer questions,
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: she hides and then claims she was almost assassinated and
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: we find out, ah, whatever happened to that story, Joe?
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: Did the videotape of that guy attacking and trying to
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: assassinate Amy Acton ever come out? No, right. Didn't, did it? Nah, okay.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: Something about the mainstream media. Maureen was commenting about that
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: earlier in connection with Trump TV. Anyhow, Tom Z is
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: going to talk about suspending the gas tax here in
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: the state of Ohio. Is that a good idea or not? Well,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: Republicans in Capitol Hill are talking about doing the same
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: thing with the federal gas tax. Some are concerned, though,
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: that the federal highway fund dollars might, we need those
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: federal highway fund dollars. Josh Hawley, he's a Republican, said, well,
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: it's a mistake for lawmakers not to do anything to
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: address the fuel price. Said the Highway Trust Fund could
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: be replenished later from other resources. And I said, yeah,
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: like the Strategic Petroleum Oil Reserve, which we all screamed
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: and yelled about Joe Biden releasing SPR reserves in order
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: to what?
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: Address the outrageous price of gasoline leaning up to an election.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: And I said at the time, you know, the policies
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: of the Democrats are what caused the price of gasoline
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: to go up. We weren't dealing with supply issues except
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: those that were created by our own policies, our own
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: throat cutting. But there he is releasing the Strategic Petroleum
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: Oil Reserve, which was supposed to be safe for times
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: of national crisis. Now we keep releasing it. We're down
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: to the lowest it's ever been.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 7: Why?
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: Because the price of gasoline and diesel fuel is still high.
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: And along comes that pesky war exacerbating the problem. So, yeah,
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: I think you probably could do without a federal gas
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: tax for a while, but how about the state of Ohio?
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: There's another issue that's floating around out there. And the
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: other one is suspending diesel fuel sales to the rest
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: of the world and keeping it for ourselves. That is
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: a matter that is far more complicated than the suggestion
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: that it's easy to do. Refineries can't store unlimited excesses
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: of diesel, so they refine the diesel. We probably wouldn't
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: use as much as we are able to refine. It
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: requires a different form of refinement process. But basically, you're
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: refining diesel to the exclusion of refining other types of
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: things we need, like, oh, gasoline. That will tighten fuel
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: supplies on other refined products. So it isn't just a
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: necessarily easy flip-the-switch reality. Diesel, of course, is a global market.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: And don't overlook the fact that you can't blame Trump
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: for the Russia-Ukraine war, which has also impacted global supplies
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: of diesel. Ukrainians, and we'll talk about this at the
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: bottom of the 8 o'clock hour, 8.30, the Daniel Davis
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: deep dive. If you didn't get the memo, the Ukrainians
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: just launched yet another strike on Russia, internal Russia, and
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: hit the refining facilities, notably diesel, which removes that from
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: the global supply. Now, I don't know where the Russians
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: are going to make up for the diesel loss from
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: that refinery. I guess they'll go out into the world
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: and seek to buy it, which is exactly why it's
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: a global commodity. So anyhow, very complicated, but Can we
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: get some relief by suspending the Ohio gas tax? Can
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: we live without it? Going back to Jay's call earlier,
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: maybe they should tap into the unclaimed slush fund that
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: they're using to fund other projects. Maybe throw the $ 600
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: million going to the Cleveland Brown Stadium from that fund
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: and throw it toward the highway dollars, or rather the
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: road dollars that we won't be getting if we suspend
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: the Ohio gas tax. Just a thought. I know there
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: are other areas of revenue. Or 725-55-KRC Detox Station. It's time.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: It's not wintertime yet, so you're not using your fireplace,
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: I bet. But ooh, fall temperature's creeping in. You still
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: have time to get in touch with a chimney care
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: fireplace and stove to take care of your safety. A
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: thorough chimney sweep is what you need. And right now,
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: they're doing the seasonal special for wood-burning fireplaces and freestanding stove.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: Of course, it's the wood-burning sweep and evaluation special. Only
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: 219-55-KRC Detox Station. It's 7.30 on a Tuesday. It's that time. wetopeopleconvention.org.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: Any time of the week. Seven days, 365. You'll find
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: Tom Zawistowski's wetopeopleconvention.org. You'll find his weekly podcasts and the
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: items on his agenda that are so important. And you'll
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: find him every week here at Tuesdays at 7.30. Welcome back, Tom,
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: my friend. It's a pleasure to me be able to
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: see you, and it's always a pleasure to have you
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: on the program.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 6: Well, it's great to be with you. And as you
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 6: said earlier, there's a lot going on, and We just
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 6: try to make some sense out of it all. But,
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 6: you know, it's important that we talk about these important issues.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: Well, and I agree completely. And I'm glad to have
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: a listening audience that cares, too. And I'm glad you
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: care about it, too, Tom. So please provide me with
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: a glimmer of positivity this morning when my executive producer,
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: Joe Strecker, says it's over, that Amy Acton is going
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: to win. I only repeat that out loud to scare
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: the living crap out of people so much that they
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: actually do what you have been telling people to do
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: on the morning show. And I have been telling people
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: to do on the morning show since this election became
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: even remotely close. We've been talking about it for months.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: You've got to get out and vote, even if you've
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: got to hold your nose to do it, Tom. We
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: are facing the socialist nightmare. that may very well end
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: this country. This is not some overstatement. Listen to the politicians.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: The idea, for example, pivoting over to Amy Acton, that
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: she could have any traction is beyond my comprehension. She
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: won't argue. She won't debate. She doesn't have a platform
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: that makes any damn sense. She's hiding. And Ramaswamy? I mean,
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: come on. He's brilliant. Tom, please provide me with some
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: measure of hope. Koushi, I mentioned Koushi, the betting site. Now,
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: I actually have more confidence and faith in Koushi because
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: people are actually betting and they're putting money on their
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: favorite candidate. And she's, at least in terms of Koushi betting, 61%.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that's Sherrod Brown. That's even worse. But she's
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: at 57 to Ramaswamy's 43 on the Koushi betting site.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 6: So, you know, these polymarkets and these betting sites are
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 6: basically echoes of Of what the media propaganda is.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 6: And, you know, you're seeing it here in Ohio. You know,
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 6: Ramos is not getting any positive coverage from anybody in
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 6: the state except for talk radio. And so it's not reality. And,
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 6: you know, one thing, you know, I think we can
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 6: all agree on that polling is dead in this country.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 6: You don't believe a single poll. I did polling. You
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 6: can't even do a poll anymore because people lie. They
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 6: intentionally try to mislead you. So forget that.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: Or they don't answer the questions. I mean, if someone
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: calls me on the phone and tries to get me
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: to participate in a poll, first off, I'm not going
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: to answer the name call because I know it's not
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: somebody that I know. Second of all, if they say,
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: I'd like you to sit, you have a few minutes
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: of time to answer a few questions. Like, no, don't
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: have it. I'm eating dinner and I hang up. So
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: I get that, Tom.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 6: You did a great job of taking apart that Bowling
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 6: Green poll earlier, right? To say, oh yeah, 60% of
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 6: the people in Ohio don't like Donald Trump. That's garbage.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 6: That's total garbage. Yeah, 60% of people in Ohio might
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 6: have a problem with something Donald Trump is doing, but
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 6: I got news for you. There's no evidence that the
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 6: MAGA base or the Tea Party has abandoned Donald Trump whatsoever.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear that.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 6: So let me just give you some encouragement, right? So
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 6: this gas tax suspension, as you and your listeners know,
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 6: the We the People convention proposed this in May. and
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 6: begged Macaulay and Hoffman and Vivek. I said, this is
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 6: a no-brainer. You've got to do this. And finally, finally
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 6: they did it. Because, oh, why? Because Amy Acton, you know,
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 6: the pathetic Amy Acton comes out and says, we need
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 6: to suspend the fuel tax. And the next minute, Vivek
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 6: and the Republicans say, we're going to have a press
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 6: conference and do.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 3: It, right?
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 6: That's pathetic. But here's what's important. It's not the gas
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 6: tax suspension, which I think is important because guess what?
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 6: It's our money. It's not money we're taking from the roads.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 6: It's none of that. They have almost $ 3 billion of
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 6: our money in the state budget that they didn't budget
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 6: for and don't need. This freaking gas tax suspension is
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 6: going to cost $ 640 million. It's our money. Give it back.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 6: That's important because it does help people in a small way.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 6: But here's what's really important, Brian. Here's what you guys
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 6: need to hear, what everyone needs to hear. I said
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 6: to the Vivek months ago, you need to do this
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 6: to prove to the voters that you're not just talk,
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 6: that you can actually do something and that you can
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 6: actually get the Republican legislature to do something. This is
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 6: critically important at this time. Because he can now say,
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 6: this should be evidence to every voter that the promises
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 6: I'm making about reforming the property taxes in a significant way,
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 6: getting rid of the income tax, making sure data centers
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 6: are built safely and benefit the communities, that's not just talk.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 6: Because I'm proving to you that I can lead and
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 6: I can get this done. That's what most conservatives and
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 6: Republicans want to see and hear. I told them all, McCauley, Huffman,
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 6: all of them, in February and March, no one believes you.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 6: All you guys do is talk. You've got to do
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 6: something tangible. I tried to get them to do the
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 6: property tax. They made a mistake. That should have been
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 6: on the ballot this election, and we would be winning
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 6: by double digits.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: They didn't do it. Hold that thought, because I want
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: to dive into a little more details about the property
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: tax situation. We had a conversation earlier in the program
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: with a caller, Jay, about that. And Ramosomi's proposal to
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: roll back property taxes at 2019 levels, I suggest, is
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: at least a step in the right direction. Not the definitive,
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: this is all we're going to do, but at least
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: it offers a good solution. And it's obviously a willingness
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: to address the property tax issue. But has he gone
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: far enough? Can he actually enter into the realm of,
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: claiming to want to eradicate it completely, recognizing, I think,
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: the problems that might present for his campaign quickly.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 3: Hold on.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: We'll continue with Tom Zawistowski. 741, 55KRCD Talk Station, every Tuesday.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: Coming up after the top of the hour news, we're
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: going to hear from Texas Border Associate Editor Bob Price
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: from Breitbart News with a whole bunch of topics related
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: to the border. In the meantime, Tom Zawistowski from wethepeopleconvention.org
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: is on the program, as he is every Tuesday at
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: this time. I'm pivoting over to property tax. Okay, so
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: Ramaswamy was reactive in saying he embraces the idea of
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: rolling back the state gas tax to give us a
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: little bit of relief. But at least he's promising it now.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: Of course, that would require legislative buy-in, right, Tom?
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 6: Well, they're supposed to have a press conference this morning
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 6: with Huffman and Macaulay saying, we bought in. And again,
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 6: that's what you got to have. I've said to Vivek,
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 6: you can make all the promises you want, but if
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 6: you can't show that you can bring the House and
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 6: the Senate together. it doesn't matter, right? And you're fighting
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 6: the Columbus cartel who's out for their personal interests, not
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 6: yours and not for Ohioans. So this is significant. And
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 6: I want people to understand it's significant because if they
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 6: can pull it off, if they have a press conference
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 6: today and I'm here and they're going to vote this
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 6: week because they want to start October 1st, right? If
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 6: he can do that, Folks, that's telling you what you
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 6: need to know. He's not about talk. He's not about promises,
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 6: which all the Republican candidates are always about. I promise
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 6: everything and they do nothing. This is a down payment.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 6: And you need to see that for what it is,
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 6: because it's really important. If you want property tax reform,
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 6: you need to believe that the bank can pull it off.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 6: This is a down payment on that. And you should
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 6: be very excited about this.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: Now, I appreciate you mentioning property tax reform because I
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: wanted to pivot over to that. Now, I have been
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: defending Ramasamy's proposal to roll back taxes to 2019 levels
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: just because we, of course, had that insane spike from COVID-19.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: Everybody knows the market forces behind that. So bad timing
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: in terms of the property valuations. But rolling back to 2019,
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: that's fine. What about the idea of eradicating it or
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: eliminating it? Now, we could talk conceptually about that and say, hey,
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: Florida doesn't have a property tax or Texas doesn't have
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: a property tax. How is it that they can be
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: so wonderful in terms of their budgeting and they don't
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: seem to be underwater? They're not screaming about deficits. Why
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: can't we have that here in Ohio? What would that
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: invite if Ramaswamy went full on eradication right now? Because
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: I think that would probably cause a lot of stomachache
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: for a lot of even Republicans here. in Columbus because
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: they're going to have to wrestle with the aftermath and
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: unfolding the fiscal realities of finding revenue sources for all
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: those areas of government that rely on property taxes. Tom,
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: where are you on this one?
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so I've had extensive talks with the bank about this.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 6: And what everyone needs to understand, The reform of property
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 6: tax or the repeal completely of property tax isn't just
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 6: about cutting your property taxes and saving you money. It's
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 6: really about reforming Ohio's bloated government system. The point is this.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 6: We have too big a government from the dog catcher
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 6: and the libraries to these counties to the cities to everything.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 6: We are grossly overtaxed. You know why? There's been no
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 6: checks on it for decades. So what I've said that
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 6: the fake is. the repeal, the reform of the property tax,
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 6: where you basically give everybody like a 9% haircut, Brian,
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 6: you can't say, oh, you won't have any police. You
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 6: won't have any fire if you cut 9%. You can't
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 6: say that if you roll it back to 2020 before
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 6: the 30% increases in private taxes, when they had a
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 6: police department, they had a fire department, you can't say
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 6: they're all going to be gone. You know what you
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 6: can do? You can make Every one of those government
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 6: agencies have to look at their spending and stop duplication
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 6: of services, stop paying overtime like crazy, and start giving
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 6: us taxpayers what we want for our money. It's about
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 6: reforming government, not just property tax, cutting property tax. Do
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 6: you get the message? That's more important than anything, because
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 6: Vivek can't do any of what he's promising unless he gets...
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 6: everybody else to go along and they ain't going along, Brian,
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 6: unless you take some of their damn money because they
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 6: have no reason to go along. Screw you. We're not
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 6: going to, you'll go from 640 school districts to 88
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 6: because you asked me, but we might do that because
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 6: we just lost 9% of our budget and we won't
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 6: have to cut teachers' salaries if we merge our school districts.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: Well, Tom, you know, the answer to the fiscal problems
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: in any given school district are answered by just not
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: having having school. You saw they did it with Sensei
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: Public Schools. Five furlough days. They got a $ 58 million shortfall.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: Just don't educate the children for five days. Don't go away, Tom.
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: We'll dive into that a little bit more and some
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: other issues with WeThePeopleConvention.org. Tom Zawistowski, 55KRCV Talk Station, Tuesday.
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: Happy Tuesday. Inside Scoop with Breitbart News Tuesday. That's coming
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: up after the top of the hour news with the
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: Daniel Davis deep dive at 830. And in the meantime,
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: Tom Zawistowski from WeThePeopleConvention.org. What other issues we need to
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: deal with here? We touched upon the property tax issues,
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: the difference between– and I don't know where Acton is
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: on that one, Tom. Do you have any information on
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: the Acton side of the ledger about property taxes? Because
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: at least you know– She says that.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 6: We shouldn't raise them anymore and we shouldn't cut them,
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 6: but we should just give the school districts all the
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 6: money they want from the legislature, just from the state budget.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 6: That's her proposal. She literally said that. She goes, I'm
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 6: for freezing property taxes or even cutting them. but not
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 6: cutting anything from the school budget. In fact, we need
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 6: to give them more, don't you know, because they're so
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 6: good at educating our kids. They're so successful. So, you know,
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 6: forget Amy Acton. She's a joke. But we got to,
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 6: you know, make sure that people understand that that's the
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 6: kind of policies Democrats are going to put forward. So
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 6: don't buy it. You know, Vivek is going to show
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 6: he just showing you now that he's going to actually
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 6: do the things that are going to make life better
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 6: for all Ohioans. That's what you want. And you need
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 6: to you need to tell other people about this and
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 6: why it's important. Now, I want one more thing. Brian,
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 6: you talked about why are gas prices so high? This
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 6: guy on Facebook, his name is Brian McKee, wrote this
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 6: post yesterday that someone shared to me, and I put
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 6: it at wethepeopleconvention.org. It's, I want to know why your
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 6: gas prices are so high? Go to wethepeopleconvention.org and read
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 6: this guy's thing. It will open your eyes. It isn't
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 6: about the war, right? It's not, they're not high because
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 6: of the war. This has been a plan for like
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 6: 30 years. And it's all because the oil companies have
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 6: been buying favors from all the elected officials to rig
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 6: the prices, read that article. It will blow your mind.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: Rig the prices.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 6: They literally are shutting down refineries on purpose.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: Well, that's California, isn't it?
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 6: To make sure that the prices would go up.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: Well, and they can get away with it, assuming it's
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: something nefarious, as you're suggesting. And I have no reason
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: to counter you because I haven't read the article or
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: the information you provided. But shutting down the refineries, oh, gosh,
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: that's in the name of getting rid of carbon dioxide,
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: isn't it, Tom? Can they justify it because of green
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: energy and the climate change nonsense?
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, they can play both sides of that, can't they?
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 6: And the oil and gas people, they can figure out, hey,
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 6: how do we leverage this to make things so we're
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 6: basically making it scarce? And if you make things scarce,
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 6: the price goes up. You've got to read his score.
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 6: He talks about every refinery that closed, why it closed,
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 6: and then wait until you read the donations that oil
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 6: and gas have been making over the years. They used
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 6: to donate like $ 53 million a year for lobbying. In 2024,
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 6: they did $ 211 million. And this year, they're doing like
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 6: $ 219 million, 88% of it going to Republicans. And what
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 6: are they getting for that? They're getting no investigations in
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 6: Congress at all. As to why gas prices are so high.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 6: The only guy that's saying anything is Donald Trump, who said, hey,
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 6: you got all kinds of oil. Why are the prices
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 6: so high? Yeah, the price is so high because they're
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 6: greedy and they're just sticking it to us. Don't read
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 6: that article. Don't believe me.
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: Isn't that the capitalist model? You are advocating for price controls,
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: are you, Tom?
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, or let's regulate AI through the government, too. That
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 6: would be good. Let's give those guys immunity from any
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 6: damages they do to us so they can help us beat.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 3: China, right?
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I guess maybe there isn't enough competitive forces
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: in the oil production industry to allow for maybe competition.
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 6: How about that for a concept? This is, again, I've
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 6: said this, you and I have talked. We're older, many
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 6: of your listeners are older. We grew up in a
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 6: time when the federal government broke up monopolies. They broke
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 6: up AT & T, they broke up the oil companies.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 6: But we're living in the last 25 years where the
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 6: federal government has created monopolies. Amazon, Meta, they've been able
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 6: to buy all their competitors with impunity. And we're left
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 6: with like two choices, right? Walmart or Amazon. They're destroying
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 6: the capitalism is about competition. Our government, our federal government
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 6: has destroyed competition. And boy, did it start with COVID.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 6: Remember that?
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: We need to regulate the.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 6: Food industry so the food board in Ohio is going
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 6: to decide what you have to do to be open
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 6: during COVID, except for one thing. The people on that
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 6: board were Burger King, Applebee's, all the big ones, and
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 6: all the mom and cops couldn't live up to those standards,
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 6: and they closed.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: Lots to unpackage here, Tom Zawistowski. Sadly, we're out of
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: time in this segment. We're going to have to dive
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: further into these details, as you do throughout the week. WeThePeopleConvention.org.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: Check it out. Bookmark it. Check out Tom's weekly podcast
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: and tune in every Tuesday here in the 55KRC Morning
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: Show for more of the good information. Tom, a little frightening,
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: but got to let people know what the truth is,
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: don't you?
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 6: Absolutely. Just keep fighting, never give up, and don't doubt
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 6: the American people. They can figure this out. Just keep
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 6: providing them with information.
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 1: Thank you for doing just that, Tom Z. We'll talk
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 1: next Tuesday. Have a great week between now and then. 756,
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: don't go away. It's 8.06 here at 55KRC, the talk station.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: Brian Thomas wishing everybody a very happy Tuesday. And welcoming
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: back to the 55KRC Morning Show. You'll find them at Breitbart,
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: where you should go every day and check out the
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: great reporting the folks at Breitbart do. That's B-R-E-I-T-B-A-R-T.com, where
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: you will read about Texas Border Associate Editor Bob Price's
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: commentary on things related to illegal immigrants, including those who
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 1: were shot by ICE officers the other day in Austin. Welcome, Bob.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: It's great to have you on the 55KRC Morning Show.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 6: Good morning.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 8: It's good to see you, Brian.
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: I guess I'm kind of wondering where we are in
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: terms of evidence. It didn't take but five seconds to
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: get the various socialist and communist organizations. I guess they're
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: all just sitting around waiting on standby for a call
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: to action. So anytime ICE is engaged in anything even
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: remotely suggestive of untoward behavior, they all come out in
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: a moment's time in great masses, giving the appearance that
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: You know, everybody in the neighborhood is upset about ICE
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: cracking down on quite often very dangerous criminal illegal immigrants.
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: But we got one shot here, so there's use of
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 1: deadly force, although the guy apparently is okay in terms
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: of the man who was shot from the illegal immigrant
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: from Venezuela. So have you been able to unpackage this
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: and actually get to the bottom of it? Because everybody
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: else seems to have drawn their own conclusions on it. Bob?
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 8: Well, the left is very quick to draw conclusions and
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 8: oftentimes very bad conclusions. One of the Austin City Council
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 8: members said, before any facts were known, was rushing out
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 8: there saying that ICE had murdered this guy and shot
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 8: him five times in the back and all of these
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 8: kinds of things, which most of those facts proved to
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 8: be untrue. The guy's not dead. He was treated and
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 8: released at the hospital and released back to ICE custody.
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 8: But his attorney is out well, a man claiming to
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 8: be his attorney, let me clarify that, is out claiming
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 8: that he has a bullet in his back and is
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 8: apparently numb on his right side or something like that.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 8: And that he's being mistreated, not given pain medicine and
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 8: made to sleep on the floor, et cetera, et cetera,
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 8: et cetera. So all of these tales of abuse will
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 8: come out. you know, congressmen rush to the microphone to.
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 6: Grab whatever little piece.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 8: Of attention that they can get out of this. But secretly,
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 8: I just published a story this morning. Secretly, the Austin
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 8: City Council on Thursday is set to vote to put
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 8: $ 850, 000 of taxpayer money into a illegal alien deportation defense fund.
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 8: They're feeding that money to some non-government organizations, NGOs, to
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 8: provide legal defense for people facing deportation. You know, it's just,
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 8: this is the mentality of the left who would spend
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 8: taxpayer dollars and spend their efforts and energy defending criminals
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 8: who illegally entered the country. This one during the Biden
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 8: border crisis, during the last administration, he was given.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 8: Temporary status in the U.S., but an immigration judge had
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 8: ruled his asylum claim to be bogus and issued a
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 8: final order of removal, but he hadn't left the country yet.
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 1: Well, do we have any idea where the use of
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: deadly force, and I know it wasn't deadly, but the
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: officer did fire a round. I think there seems to
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: be no dispute that the guy was actually hit, although
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: widely reported that he was treated and released. I mean,
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: I've read that all over the place at this point, Bob,
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: but I think the only real question here is whether
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: or not the ICE officer did not have the right
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: to use or it was inappropriate to use deadly force.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: We don't know anything about that yet, do we?
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 8: Well, there's one video on my first article on this
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 8: topic on Breitbart that captures almost the moment of the shooting.
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 8: The person sees the vehicle that had just been stopped
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 8: by the ICE officer and The ICE officer is getting
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 8: out of the vehicle, approaching it, and then all of
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 8: a sudden, in her moving in her car, her video
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 8: goes off of the scene for about a second or two.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 8: You hear three or four gunshots, and then you turn
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 8: back and you can see the car driving away. It
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 8: doesn't appear to be driving in a way that's a
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 8: threat to the officer, but we don't know, have any
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 8: idea what he saw inside the vehicle. And so there's
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 8: no information at all yet about why he actually decided
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 8: to use deadly force.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: So that's the critical piece of information. If the officer
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: used deadly force when it was not in any way, shape,
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: or form appropriate, then, of course, we can all criticize
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: the ICE agent for doing so. That's a training issue.
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: That's an inappropriate use. And fine, I would rather wait
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 1: for the information to come out before drawing conclusions because
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: we know what happens when people draw conclusions. We have, well...
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: defund the police movements that crop up out of nowhere
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: like after the George Floyd thing. So indulge me on
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: that one, Bob. Pivoting over.
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 3: I remember.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: I know you do. My listeners do too, Bob. Pivoting over. I,
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: The city of Austin actually creating this defense fund is
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 1: perplexing to me because I know how blue Austin is.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a very liberal city for whatever reason
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: right there in the heart of Texas. But I guess
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of curious because I know we're on polling.
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: Let's go back to that caveat for my listening audience
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 1: as well. I thought getting rid of, well, let's use
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: the category of child molesters, child rapists, violent criminals. I
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: thought everybody embraced that idea. It's the grandmother who's been
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: here for 10 years that is always thrown out as
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: the illustration of why we shouldn't do anything. But do
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: you believe the residents of Austin really truly have a
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: problem with getting rid of criminals in the neighborhood?
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 8: You would hope not, but their elected officials certainly do.
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 8: And they're taking action to defend these people. And so
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 8: a similar thing happened in Harris County, which is Houston,
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 8: the state's largest city.
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 3: Here in Texas.
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 8: And the attorney general's office, Ken Paxton, filed a lawsuit
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 8: against Harris County and blocked the funding of deportation defense
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 8: that was being provided. It's illegal under the Texas Constitution.
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 8: And so they put a stop to it. And so
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 8: I'm hoping now with this article we posted this morning
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 8: that the AG's office will step in once again and
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 8: try to block the city of Austin from doing this.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 8: It had to go all the way to the Texas
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 8: Supreme Court. to get it blocked in Harris County because
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 8: the lower court of appeals upheld the county's right to
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 8: do that, and the state Supreme Court said, no, you
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 8: can't do that.
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: Well, I'd like to think, maybe as liberal as the
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: city of Austin residents are, that I am certain, like
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: with every city, there's sort of an unlimited list of
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: demands that people want from city government, given the finite
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: number of dollars that they have that they're sitting on.
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: They've got to make prudent choices doing cost-benefit analysis, and
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: that it might anger the city of Austin residents that
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 1: they're spending that much money on a defense fund for
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: illegal immigrants who are subject to, well, detainment orders.
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and the.
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 8: man who's now the congressman there in Austin, famously when
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 8: he was a city council funded move for defunding the
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 8: Austin Police Department. And so the blue roots are very
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 8: deep in Austin. We call it the blueberry in the
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 8: middle of the red pie here in Texas. It's one
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 8: of the few liberal bastions in the state of Texas,
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 8: which is a very conservative state. But, you know, despite
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 8: the fact that it's a conservative state, we have a
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 8: hotly contested race for the U.S. Senate here with James Tallarico,
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 8: who also has expressed an unlimited support of illegal aliens
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 8: and illegal immigration. And he's for, you know, boys and
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 8: girls sports and anti. He's running for Texas, the United
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 8: States senator from Texas. He's anti-gun, anti-oil and gas, anti-cattle violence.
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 8: just about everything that Texas stands for, he's against, and
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 8: yet he's still in a very tight race for the Senate.
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 1: Can you answer, I mean, just speculate as to how
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: that is. All the points you made are well taken
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 1: and very accurate. I mean, these are issues that no
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: one should get any traction on in Texas if you're
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 1: that far on the left of center. But why is it?
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 1: Is this a symptom of Trump derangement syndrome, as so
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 1: many things seem to be? Is this because people are
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 1: just quite frankly angry about inflation, the price of gasoline,
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 1: that they'd be willing to ignore that their daughter might
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 1: be playing against a guy in sports?
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't understand it. I do know that the
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 8: Democratic Party is funneling millions and millions of dollars into
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 8: the state of Texas trying to take this seat. They
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 8: hope this will be the pivotal race to flip the
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 8: Senate back to the blue. And they're doing everything they can.
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 8: They're painting James Tallarico to be a moderate, voice of reason,
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 8: et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. But his record clearly
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 8: shows that he is as far left as any of these,
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 8: these communists almost used the CB word that, that, that, that,
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 8: oh God, Patton, sorry, used back in World War II
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 8: about the communists. But, you know, there, he's of that
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 8: mentality and even his own pastor says, came out a
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 8: week or so ago and said that this is just
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 8: an act on Tallarico's part and that as soon as
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 8: he gets elected, he's going to swing back as far
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 8: left as he can. And we know that's true because
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 8: the first thing he's going to do is come under
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 8: the control of whoever the Senate Democrat leader is at
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 8: that point in time.
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 1: Well, and it's another thing that it causes me to
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 1: point out. Apparently, The far left Democrats got the message
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 1: that their policies are not popular. This is why they're
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 1: walking back on them. All the previously stated, you know,
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: you and I might characterize as bat crap and saying
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: policies that you just rattled off a handful of. They're
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: now saying, no, no, no, no, no. I disagree with that.
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: I might have said that before, but I've come to
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 1: the realization that that was wrong. Well, you know darn
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: well they really haven't abandoned them. They just have to
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 1: appeal to more centrist voters, even in their own party,
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 1: by saying out loud they reject them. You can't walk
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: away from a statement like defund the police that you've
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: made 19 times and just magically wake up and say, no, no,
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: I really was kidding. I mean, I, I, I, I'm
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: just hard pressed to understand how anybody could necessarily get
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 1: away with it. Maybe they're just playing on the ignorance
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: of the voters who aren't going to pay attention to
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 1: anything like that.
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 8: Well, Brian, we're seeing the same thing in Michigan and
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 8: the Senate race up there where, where he's backing away
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 8: from all of his previous comments.
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 8: We were up at my wife and I were up
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 8: at Mackinac Island this summer and And about the time
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 8: that his comments about Mackinac Island resurfaced, where he basically
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 8: said that he hated the place and hated the people there.
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 8: You know, this is someplace that he's wanting to represent
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 8: as a United States senator. You know, it's a beautiful
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 8: place and we had a great time there. I can't
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 8: see how anybody in their right mind. Oh, there's the
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 8: caveat there in their right mind could possibly.
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 7: Hate that place.
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 8: But that's the way they are. They hate American values.
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 8: They hate the things that America stands for. And they
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 8: want to dissolve that, get rid of it. And we're
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 8: seeing it all across the country.
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 1: Well, that takes us back to the border. The reason
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 1: the Democrats are all in favor of open borders, which
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 1: they literally are, is because going back to the communist
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 1: revolt that happened when this guy got shot while ICE
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 1: was doing its job. Open borders means basically eroding the
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 1: values that truly made America great. Work ethic. You know,
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: if you work hard, you will be successful, at least
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 1: have the opportunity to be successful. They bring in water
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 1: down the population who has grown up with that philosophy
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 1: and ideology that's worked so well, which is why we
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 1: are the most successful country that's ever been in existence
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 1: in this world. And you bring a bunch of people
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: that come in with no concept of freedom, liberty. They've
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 1: been told what to do. They have dictators they come
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 1: from or communist regimes they've fled because it sucks to
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 1: live there. I mean, seriously, Bob, does anybody not remember
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 1: the Berlin Wall? People did not try to get into
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 1: East Berlin. They tried to get out. That's why the
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: wall was there. Nobody's trying to get into Cuba. There
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 1: are no boats going south to Cuba. They're all coming
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 1: from Cuba here. I mean, we could go over and
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 1: over and over this all day long. This has to
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 1: register with people.
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 8: Well, the communists have played the long game on this,
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 8: dating back to the early 1960s when Nikita Khrushchev, the
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 8: then leader of the Soviet Union, said that he would
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 8: conquer the United States without firing a single shot. And
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 8: so what they did is they spent decades infiltrating the
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 8: entertainment industry, invading the education system, all the way through
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 8: from elementary schools up to the university levels. And they've
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 8: slowly normalized all of these things that are anti-American values
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 8: into and put us in the position now where people
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 8: just think that this is okay. I remember in a
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 8: protest a few years ago talking to a young person
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 8: and I said, you know, that person's a communist. And
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 8: he goes, what's wrong with being a communist? And, you know,
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 8: and it's just, they don't know, they don't understand. But
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 8: you would think these people that fled from Venezuela, the
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 8: ones that aren't members of the Tren de Aragua criminal gang,
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 8: a terrorist organization, but you would think the ones that fled,
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 8: the ones that we were first seeing crossing the border
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 8: in Eagle Pass in 2022, I think it was, these
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 8: were very wealthy people who were coming here to flee
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 8: the oppressive Venezuelan communist rule. They see this and they
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 8: speak out about it quite regularly, but others, they just forget.
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 8: And the American people forget what this is like.
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 3: You're right.
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 8: Nobody is trying to get into Cuba or any of
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 8: these other communist countries across the world. They're all coming
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 8: to America, as the song says.
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 1: No doubt about it. I mean, it seems so damn obvious, Bob.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 1: I just don't understand how this has any traction whatsoever.
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 1: Even the dumbest person in the world can step back
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 1: from this and see the reality of it. so i
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 1: guess nobody's stepping back from looking for the reality bob
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 1: rice everybody loves free stuff yeah well and see that's
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 1: what it is but when you put the when you
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 1: put pen to paper free stuff always sounds good but
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 1: you know 40 trillion dollars in debt already the price
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 1: of Let's just pick one Medicare for all, which is
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 1: what all the left is, is, is campaigning on after Obamacare.
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 1: Obviously it was an Epic failure, Bob. Well, let's try
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 1: it again. Medicare for all the price tag on that.
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 1: Look at the Cato numbers that they crunched. Cato is
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 1: pretty respected anyway, in terms of number crunching. I mean,
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 1: over 10 years, you're talking between 30 and $ 70 trillion
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 1: for that. It just does. The math never works out.
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 1: It's like open borders. Every person that comes across the
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 1: border is entitled to get on our welfare system. Apparently.
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 1: We're already struggling with our social safety net anyway with
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 1: the number of people we have here and the inefficiencies
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 1: and mismanagement from government. How in God's name can we
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 1: help entertain and welcome in every other human being on
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 1: earth and think that it can sustain itself?
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 8: I would ask your listeners to remember the number one
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 8: issue in the last election was the border and immigration.
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 8: And President Trump quickly shut that down. eliminated it basically
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 8: as an issue, which is really why the Congress has
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 8: never eliminated it as an issue. They'd rather have the
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 8: issue to argue about from both sides than they would
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 8: to solve the problem. President Trump solved the problem. And
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 8: so now that issue has kind of slipped away as
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 8: being of major importance to the voters. But they need
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 8: to remember that if the Democrats get back in control
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 8: again in this election and then in the 2028 presidential election,
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 8: But that's exactly what it will go back to is
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 8: the Biden border crisis of the 2021, 2022, 2023, when
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 8: 11 to 15 million people illegally entered the United States.
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 1: Bob Price, he is the Texas Border Associate Editor at Breitbart.com.
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 1: Check it out, Breitbart Book Market. You'll be glad you did. Bob,
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 1: I'll look forward to having you back on. Keep up
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 1: the great work, my friend.
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 4: Thank you very much.
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 8: It's good to talk to you and your listeners.
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 1: It's been my pleasure, and I'm sure my listeners' pleasure
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 1: as well. 823, don't go away. The Daniel Davis Deep
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 1: Dive is next. and comments regularly on the war situations
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 1: going on in the world post. Notably, we've got the
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 1: Middle East conflict with us and the Iranians, as well
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 1: as Russia and Ukraine. Welcome back, Daniel Davis, my friend.
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 1: It's always a pleasure to have you on the show.
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 9: Always a pleasure to be here, Brian.
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 1: Can we start with the Russia-Ukraine situation, since apparently President
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 1: Zelensky from Ukraine is at the UN, and he is
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 1: talking with Donald Trump about maybe an energy ceasefire. And
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 1: I was kind of curious about this, because Donald Trump
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 1: had asked both the Russians and the Ukrainians to stop
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 1: bombing oil infrastructure. We have a global, I don't know
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 1: if you know, Daniel Davis got a global energy crisis.
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 1: We're kind of short on diesel and gas lines through
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 1: the roof. And so you're aware of that, right? Anyway,
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 1: in order to try to not exacerbate the problem, I
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 1: thought the parties had sort of at least tenuously agreed that, yeah,
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 1: that wouldn't happen. And wasn't it like one day later,
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 1: Zelensky launches all kinds of drones and rockets into Russia
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 1: and blows up a diesel facility. Can you make sense
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 1: of this for my listeners and most notably me, sir?
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, the timing is kind of important on that.
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 9: So last week, President Trump puts out a true social
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 9: in which he said that both Russia and Ukraine had
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 9: agreed to a ceasefire on energy systems, on each other's
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 9: energy systems, that they had both agreed and therefore it
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 9: was going to stop. About five or six hours later,
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 9: Zelensky posts something and says, So that's an interesting concept,
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 9: and we're willing to give it some consideration, as long
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 9: as Russia doesn't this whole laundry list of other things, which,
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 9: of course, Russia is never going to do. And then
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 9: three hours after that, then Zelensky attacks a specific refining
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 9: capacity or facility in Russia that reprocesses both jet fuel supplies.
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 6: And diesel.
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 9: I mean, it was like a direct in-your-face repudiation to
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 9: what President Trump said. The Russians, by the way, that
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 9: day never made any comment. The next morning, their Kremlin
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 9: spokesman said, well, it's an interesting idea.
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 1: We'll give it some consideration.
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 9: Never went anywhere from it. So it's interesting that now
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 9: Zelensky wants to go back to what President Trump claimed
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 9: was already on the table, but the Russians are going
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 9: to have none of it because For whatever is being
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 9: hit on the Russian side, the Russians are hitting probably
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 9: 10 times that much on the Ukraine side. So they're
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 9: coming out on the less of it. So Russia is
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 9: not going to stop doing something that is painful to them.
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 9: They would like it to stop on them. But the
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 9: pain that they're inflicting on their opponent is far greater.
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 9: so it would actually help Ukraine more than it would Russia. Therefore,
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 9: Russia is not going to agree to it. Well, if
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 9: you could explain the military strategy or thinking behind the
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 9: Ukrainian regular drone strikes, I just get the impression that
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 9: they're endeavoring to wear down the will of the Russian people,
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 9: although noting that, gee, shocking, Putin won the election the
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 9: other day. I don't know if you consider that a
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 9: fair election or not, sir, but it was one election.
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 9: But Do the Russian people really have any say whatsoever,
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 9: absent Putin's military advisors or folks that surround him that might,
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 9: I don't know, do a coup d'etat or otherwise disappear him?
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 9: I mean, Putin's the guy in charge, and he's not
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 9: going anywhere. And the Ukrainians bombing Russian infrastructure hasn't weakened
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 9: Putin's will. So what do you see being accomplished by this,
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 9: I guess? Yeah, I think that's important to point out.
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 9: I think that we in the West get a lot
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 9: of comfort or we want to get comfort from this
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 9: belief that, well, the Russian people have no freedoms and
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 9: they are not for Putin and they're suppressed and kept
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 9: down and their elections aren't free and fair. All evidence
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 9: I can see independently from the European Union and other
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 9: places are that the elections are completely free and fair.
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 9: And in fact, the President Putin's political party won a
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 9: pretty big majority, bigger than they had before, and it's
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 9: about 55%. So it's not like, you know, 98.1% or
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 9: something like that's obviously nonsense like they do in North Korea.
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 9: But it was a fair election, and the other parties
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 9: won their, you know, percentages or whatever. But that matches
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 9: what the polls are showing, that the people are behind
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 9: President Putin. because these strikes, I know, again, the idea is, well,
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 9: let's wear them down and then they'll quit. But that
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 9: shows a gross misunderstanding of what it looks like inside
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 9: of Russia. They see this as an existential attack, not
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 9: by Ukraine, by the entire cumulative West. And we brag
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 9: all the time about how the entire West is behind it,
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 9: that Germany, France, Britain are helping long-range strikes hit inside
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 9: of Russia. We're helping with intelligence, targeting support, etc. So
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 9: they feel the world is against them. So they will never,
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 9: never give up. And these strikes just say, If anything,
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 9: the complaint against Putin is not that why are you
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 9: fighting this war? We should stop. It's why are you
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 9: not fighting it harder and going further and hitting the
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 9: Western European who are striking us with these long range strikes?
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 9: So it's only going to have a solidifying effect on
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 9: the Russians. It's not going to wear them down.
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 1: Do you see Putin going in that direction and going
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 1: after targets further in and maybe even attacking one of
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 1: the NATO countries? We've got defense agreements with the NATO countries,
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 1: so that really worries me from a World War III perspective.
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 1: We do.
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 9: But yes, Russia has openly talked about that.
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 1: Putin has.
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 9: Lavrov has. They say they don't want to, but they say, listen,
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 9: our patience is not limited. You cannot continue to use, basically,
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 9: like with some of the British storm shadows, they're doing
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 9: everything except pulling the trigger. It is Britain firing into
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 9: Russia and hitting some of these oil refineries, etc. And
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 9: so the people are saying, why are we just forever
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 9: going to allow another country to attack us through the
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 9: proxy of Ukraine? and do nothing to that other country.
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 9: So there's lots of pressure on that, but there is
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 9: Article 5.
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 1: But here's the thing.
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 9: Russia is calculating, and militarily, it's not without some credibility
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 9: that we can't, the NATO side, cannot fight a war
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 9: against Russia because it doesn't matter what your GDP is
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 9: or how many planes and tanks, it matters how much
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 9: ammunition you have offensive missiles, and most importantly, defensive missiles,
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 9: we have almost none because we've given them all the
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 9: way to Israel. We've given them all the way to Ukraine.
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 9: We've used them ourselves in the Middle East. There's just
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 9: hardly any available. and Russia has new categories of weapons
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 9: that the PAK-3s and the THAADs won't even stop, so
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 9: it doesn't even matter. If we get into a conventional
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 9: fight with Russia, we are going to get pounded, and
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 9: many in Russia are saying it's worth it to finally
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 9: stop these attacks. So far, Putin, who has been very cautious,
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 9: has said, no, let's keep going with the slow methodical
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 9: anaconda deal, and eventually we'll strangle Ukraine and we'll have
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 9: it successfully accomplished. But there are those who say our
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 9: patience is not unlimited, and I think we're playing with
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 9: fire to see how far we can push them.
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 1: And at this juncture, no hope for a resolution, even
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 1: if it involves Ukraine giving up land?
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 6: There is, actually, yeah.
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 9: Russia continues to say their diplomacy is on the table,
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 9: but it's those ugly terms from June 2024 which haven't changed,
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 9: which is all of the four oblasts, Demilitarization, denazification, no
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 9: NATO neutrality status, all those same kinds of things that
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 9: we've rejected in the past, but it's still on the table.
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 1: Sounds like parallels can be drawn with the situation in
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 1: the Mideast. And talk about proxies. We have the Houthis
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 1: really came out strong in bombing Saudi Arabia and from
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 1: their presence in Yemen. That's sort of a new development.
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 1: Is there, I read someplace, this isn't a thought of mine,
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 1: a suggestion that the Houthis attacking Saudi Arabia, targets in
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, even if they're our military bases, might serve
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 1: to drive Saudi Arabia into the Abraham Accords?
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 9: No, I don't think it's going to drive them into
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 9: the Abraham Accords because the Abraham Accords are, are predicated
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 9: on Israel having a Palestinian state. And there's no evidence
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 9: that Israel has any possibility or willingness to do that.
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 1: And the.
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 9: Saudi Arabian side would have a revolt of their people
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 9: if they suddenly gave in on that. And the only
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 9: way that they would even contemplate that is if all
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 9: of a sudden Israel was going to join militarily, so
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 9: they had a pretty big quid pro quo, which Israel's
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 9: not going to do. So now then you have the,
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 9: obviously the United States has not been willing to help
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 9: Saudi Arabia. So UK did. UK said, hey, you know what,
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 9: we'll give you some aerial resupport. We'll give you a
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 9: little bit of help, but that's not going to be
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 9: the big problem because aerial power is not going to
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 9: bring the Houthis to their knees as we have seen
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 9: since 2015. And everybody has tried. Saudi Arabia, U.S., the
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 9: Biden administration, Trump administration, the Israelis, Everybody has tried. Nobody
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 9: has succeeded. We won't now either. So we're going to
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 9: have to find another way out of that one.
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 1: Well, and, you know, Donald Trump occasionally will pop up
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 1: and talk about bombing the Iranians into the Stone Age.
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 1: But going back to your earlier point about munition shortages,
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 1: that same problem exists over there. If we're going to
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 1: start a bombing campaign, we better have the munitions to
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 1: engage in the bombing campaign. Not that I believe it's
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 1: necessarily a good idea.
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 6: A hundred percent.
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 9: I mean, and this target set is nearly the same. Yemen,
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 9: the part where the Houthis are, alhamdulillah, is smaller, obviously,
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 9: than Iran, but it's the same kind of terrain. They
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 9: have the same mountains issues. They have the same facilities,
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 9: what we call missile cities underground. They have the same thing.
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 9: The same problem is why the Biden administration didn't succeed.
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 9: The Trump administration didn't succeed in 2025. The Israelis didn't succeed.
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 9: You can blow up lots of targets on the surface.
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 9: but it's underneath the surface where their ballistic missile factories
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 9: and launch points are, and we can't get at them.
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 9: So it's the exact same problem, just a smaller version
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 9: of it.
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 1: Well, someday, Daniel Davis, someday. You're not going to end
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 1: this conversation with some great news reporting. There's peace around
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 1: the world. We're all going to be celebrating, but that
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 1: day is not here. Any concluding observations, Daniel, the direction
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 1: this is all going? Do you see down the road
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 1: where you think this might end up? I hate to
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 1: have to press you on that, but I just feel
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 1: like I'm in desperation mode at this juncture.
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 9: The frustrating part is there are diplomatic solutions for both
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 9: of these. They're ugly from our perspective.
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 1: But they're effective.
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 9: We can just choose to say, all right, we're going
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 9: to acknowledge reality.
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 1: That's the key point.
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 9: You have to start with, I'm going to acknowledge reality.
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 9: We cannot defeat Russia militarily no matter what we do.
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 9: Everything else we could try would only expand it and
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 9: possibly draw us into it.
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 1: Don't go there.
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 9: Do something closer than June 2025.
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 6: And on the other case here.
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 9: We just have to say, look, we're willing to live
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 9: with Iran. Just declare victory, whatever you want to say,
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 9: and then leave. The strait will open up because Iran
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 9: has incentive to do so. They're going to charge a fee.
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 9: That's just the cost of doing business. We shouldn't have
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 9: started this war because we can't militarily win it, but
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 9: we can leave without causing any more trouble, and we
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 9: can start rebuilding our assets. That's where we should go.
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 1: That's where we can go. All right, maybe a hard
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 1: pill to swallow or a bitter pill to swallow, but
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 1: if that's the answer, maybe we are in a better
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 1: place if we just go down that road.
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 9: Can you imagine two years from now, no one would
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 9: remember the hard bitter pill, but we won't be losing
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 9: any more troops. We won't be losing any more missiles.
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 1: We'll be rebuilding. It is the best path.
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 8: Huh.
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we did get over the situation from, what, Korea, Vietnam.
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, I could go on. Daniel, you know the
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 1: whole litany. Daniel Davis, Deep Dive. That's a good analogy.
• 2:02:06

• 2:02:08
