  Speaker 1: 505-55KRC, the talk station. Happy Tuesday. And that's the way.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Indeed it is. Happy Tuesday. Trying to make it so anyway.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Brian Thomas right here. Glad to be. Good to see
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Joe Strecker where he belongs, as always. Executive producer. And
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: love the rundown this morning. I always love seeing a
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: lot of guests on the rundown. I'd rather talk to
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: somebody else, which includes you. If you'd like to give
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: me a call, 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK. Bound by 50 on AT &
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: T phones. FOP President Ken Cobra shows up this morning, 7.05.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Talking about the violence in and around downtown Cincinnati. Of course,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the UC campus. Five are arrested. Yesterday, violence on UC's campus.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: A lot of students, a little concerned. Parents of students
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: going to UC are concerned, and legitimately so. Get to
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: some details on that with the five arrests and local stories.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Tom Zawistowski, wethepeopleconvention.org. Tom comes back. We need to get
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: out and vote, of course. Plus, he said, we talk
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: about the debt all the time. What about our assets?
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: The United States does have a lot of assets. They
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: have the biggest economy in the world, the biggest economy
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: in world history. And, of course, there are some bright
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: points to talk about insofar as what we actually have.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: But I continue to focus on the debt in my
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: world just because it's unsustainable. And, you know, considering things
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: like Social Security are on the brink of collapse, I've
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: got a word or two on that in a moment here. Yeah,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: we need to get our rain in spending, spending out
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: of control. Coming up, 805 Inside Scoop with Breitbart News
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: every Tuesday at 805. Today we get the Breitbart News
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Immigration Report. expert Neil Munro, shutting down illegal migrant truckers.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Big announcement on that just yesterday. Democrats apparently migrant crime,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: they say, is a fake problem.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I guess it depends on where you're getting your news.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Looks like a real problem to me. If you are
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: in the country illegally, particularly if you've been convicted of crimes,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: notably things like rape of children, things like that, I
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: consider it a problem if there's only one illegal immigrant
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: criminal that's out there raping someone or committing further crime.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: One is enough. One is too many. Shouldn't happen in
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: the first place. Anyway, the Daniel Davis deep dive, retired
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis, our latest on Iran, of course,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: with Iranians using rockets to lay mines in the Strait
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: of Hormuz. That's an interesting development. I guess they've been
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: doing that since last year. At least they tested it
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: with one of the missile systems last year, and we're
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: trying to do that just the other day. Donald Trump
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: blew those rockets up. The question is, it's swirling reports,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: most notably the Washington Post, getting an earful from our
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: military commanders about releasing information concerning our ability to handle
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: things militarily with shortage of weapons supply. Now, whether or
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: not you think that's maybe treasonous to announce that during
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the middle of a war, and I understand the delicacy
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: and the problems that swirl around that, it seems to
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: me to be a critical piece of information to kind
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: of have your head wrapped around. Do we need more weapons?
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Can we continue a war? Can we engage in a
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: kinetic war with the Iranians if necessary? What happens if
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the Iranians go full blown up rogue on us? I don't, hey,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: somebody's got to be paying attention to it. If the
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: American people kind of know about that, maybe we raise
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: three forms of holy hell and elevate it to their
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: attention where something might get done about it. I don't know.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: It's this representative democracy we live in here, folks. Somebody's
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: got to have a say and voices need to get, well,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: some messages need to be elevated. Maybe, maybe, This one, Will,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: planning ahead, thinking about our future, the demands of the
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: globe on our limited ability to keep up with missile production,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Ask the expert, maybe. OHC, my
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: cancer friends, maybe joining the program at the tail end
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: of the 8 o'clock hour. We didn't get confirmation on that,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: but we'll wait and see and find out. Together tomorrow,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Jack Edelman and Judge Anna Napolitano. 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK, pound 550
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: on AT & T phones. Remember, 55KRC.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Iheart. com.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Where you can listen to the Smith event. Boy, he
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: was all in a tear yesterday about that four-year-old that
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: got shot over the weekend, and where in the hell
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: was Mayor Aftab Perval? Well, that discussion will continue with
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Ken Kober because, yes, yesterday we had five people arrested.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: There's a huge fight near University of Cincinnati. Right at
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the stop-and-go on West McMillan Street, close to UC's Square Loop,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Police said all five people taken into custody are going
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to be facing disorderly conduct charges. The people arrested have
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: not been identified yet. Four of the people arrested were juveniles. Juveniles.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: And this is amid ongoing concerns because there's been a
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: lot of reports of violence in and around down at
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: UC's campus. So UC said yesterday that it's working with
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati police to increase patrols and address disorderly conduct. We'll
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: have some questions for Kent Cobra about this. Thankfully, no
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: one was reported injured in the fight. No one knows
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: why the fight started, what started it, or whether the
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: people involved in the fight knew each other. Typical. Hours,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: this fight occurred hours after Cincinnati Interim Police Chief Adam
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Henney had to meet with the Cincinnati public school leaders
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: regarding problems over at Hughes High School, widely reported incidents there.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: And the big concerns about, well, large gatherings and disorderly behavior. Now,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: what can you do about that? A couple of recent
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: shootings up on campus as well. Well, according to the
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: release you see announced yesterday, its police division will significantly
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: increase patrols and traffic control around campus. Let's see here.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: You got violent neighborhoods, violent areas of town. What is
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the appropriate police response? It's not defund the police, is it?
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: It's not sending counselors in to negotiate between people who
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: are beating the crap out of each other, is it?
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: No.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: The response from law enforcement, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati Police Department,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: increasing patrols, putting more police there. And specifically, Cincinnati Police
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: doubled patrols around campuses in, ready, areas experiencing increased late-night activity. Oh,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: there's a problem over there. It's a bad neighborhood. Maybe
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: we should put more police there. Hmm, okay. Sounds logical
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: and reasonable. UC said additional strategies will focus on controlling
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: crowd sizes. And the lawyer in me immediately screams, well,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: what about freedom of assembly? You know, if you're in
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: public spaces, can you control crowd sizes? Can you limit them?
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure you can. Discouraging disorderly conduct. Somebody
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: wrote a couple of question marks on that. How does
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: one effectively discourage disorderly conduct? You can say it out loud,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: please don't engage in disorderly conduct, but is anybody going
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: to listen to you? Police also engaging nearby business owners
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: to help prevent disorderly behavior. Hopefully they can help out
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: to some degree, but they seem to be more victims
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: than someone who has control over disorderly conduct in the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: first place. So, I'm sorry. Well, you've got the university
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: reminding students they have safety resources, the Rave Alert emergency notifications.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: And UC automatically enrolls its students in Rave Alert, which
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: sends emergency notifications by text and email. There's also a
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Bearcat Guardian safety app, which hooks up kids to the
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: University of Cincinnati Police Department. Roughly speaking, that's how that works.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: So there are some resources. They have a shuttle that
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: runs in the nighttime hours, and so it's a free
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: shuttle service. You don't have to worry about taking an Uber. And,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: in fact, one of the parents of students had pointed
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: that out. My daughter won't go out after 5 p.m. because, well,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: it's getting dark out there. Time's changing. And you know what?
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Even if she has to only go a block or two,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: she gets an Uber. Now, contemplate that. The concern is
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: so great, crime is so pervasive in and around the
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: University of Cincinnati that you're going to have to take
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: an Uber for a two-block drive. I don't know whether
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: that's actually true or not, but it was stated and
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: reported locally. So, well, and I'm sure this does great
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: for the University of Cincinnati's reputation across this great land
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: of ours where universities are in competition with each other
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: to draw those valuable students in. where are you going
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: to send your kids? And I will note again, because
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I've mentioned it before, Ohio State University, going back a
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: little while when my daughter was there, she got robbed
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: at gunpoint two times. Twice. My own little pumpkin. And
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: as a parent, I will tell you, that is not
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: something that you want to have in the back of
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: your mind when you don't have any connection with control
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: over where your daughter is at any given moment. It's
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: a frightening time for parents, at least it was for me.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I'm sure my wife felt the same way. Campuses can
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: be dangerous places, and what's the answer to the question?
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: I don't think anybody really knows. The problem seems to
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: be a societal one. The problem seems to me to
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: be maybe, I don't know, maybe here locally it's because
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: juvenile court system doesn't address violent behavior with young people
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and nip it in the bud before these young people
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: become adults and then commit violent crimes. Maybe they should
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: stick with the gun charges when juveniles get arrested. We
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: found that that's not even happening. Drop the gun charges.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: When juveniles are arrested with firearms, meanwhile, Aftab Parval screams
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: bloody murder about firearms being the problem. No, the laws
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: on the books prevent juveniles from possessing firearms. Enforce the law.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Make examples of people that are busted with firearms. Don't
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: drop the firearms charges. That's a step in the right direction,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I would argue. Now, it may take time for the
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: world and society and our young people in the greater
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati area to catch up to the reality that a
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: new sheriff is in town and that crime will be
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: dealt with accordingly, right, by cracking down on it and
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: hold them to the fullest extent of the law. Sadly,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: there's no new sheriff in town. which suggests we're going
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: to have status quo here in these meetings between the
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati Police, University of Cincinnati Police Departments, harrumphing sessions to
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: talk about what they're going to do may not bear
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: any fruit. Who knows? I'll keep my prayers going to
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: the greater Cincinnati area and hope that we get our
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: head and our hands around crime because it is a
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: serious problem. 516-55-CARES-THE-TALK-STATION, plenty going on. And what is.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Congressman Massey is back in the news, and I'm just
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: scratching my head over the reasons why Real quick one
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: on that, but I've got a whole lot more to
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: talk about this morning. And, of course, I welcome your
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: subject matter. If you want to give me a call,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I'll be right back on Tuesday. Tomorrow is Wednesday, but
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: it's not Lister Lunch Wednesday. It is the first Wednesday of,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: and happy September, by the way. Man, time flies. Jeez Louise.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Next Wednesday, we're going to be at Turf Club. And
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I love the Turf Club, just to start with. And
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I love the fact that they're willing to open up
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: on a day they normally aren't open for lunch. That's Wednesday.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: So show up at the Turf Club and get a
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: big old burger. A burger as big as your head.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: And we're doing that again next Wednesday. Get the word out.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: If you're inclined to, show up. I am really looking
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: forward to seeing you and enjoying the fellowship that always
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: is great at 55KRC Listener Lunch. And real quick here,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: just going back to the University of Cincinnati, and you
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: sent a letter out to the campus community about the
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: violence up there, you know, suggesting we understand how unsettling
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: this is and, you know, blah, blah, blah, particularly when
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: it occurs on campus and neighborhoods surrounding campus. We continue
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: to work closely with CPD. This is in quotes. to
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: review recent events, assess our strategy, and make ongoing adjustments
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: to keep the community safe. You didn't hear any substance
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: in that either. They said they had already increased the
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: patrol presence and traffic control around campus. That is a
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: past tense. University of Cincinnati Police Department has significantly increased.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: This will continue. Well, that didn't stop the violence that
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: happened yesterday, I guess. They have doubled patrols around campuses.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: They've announced that, but that has already happened. And of
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: course it didn't stop the violence yesterday and crowd control size.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I mentioned that earlier. I'm kind of struggling on what
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: they're planning on doing. They just said strategies are being
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: implemented to control crowd control size and deter disorderly conduct.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: No explanation as to how that's going to happen. And
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I mentioned that Bearcat guardian app, uh, you can apparently
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: designate a friend, family member, or the University of Cincinnati
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Police Department as a guardian on that. And the way
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: it works, apparently, as reported by Fox 19, if the
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: student doesn't turn off the timer, it's got a safety
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: timer on it, as expected, the designated guardian gets a
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: notice so they can check on the student and respond appropriately.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: That's kind of an interesting feature, isn't it? At least
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: it gives you a measure of peace of mind. Wait
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: a second, they didn't check in. Let me give them
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: a call. Ah, I just forgot, or the phone doesn't
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: get answered, and then you have to elevate your concern.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: It also allows students, this app does, to chat with
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: the University of Cincinnati Police Department in real time. Also
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: share photos, and there also is an emergency call button,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: which connects directly to the UC police and provides a
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: student's GPS location to help emergency personnel respond quickly. I
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: have really no problem with any of that technology. Anything
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: that's going to give a parent peace of mind, worried
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: about their kids, living away from home, I appreciate that.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Pivoting over, of course, this is related to nothing I
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: mentioned this morning, Congressman Thomas Massey. Anybody remember the Epstein files? Joe,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: you remember Epstein files? Whatever happened to those? Didn't Congressman
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Massey pass a bill and it ultimately got approved almost
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: unanimously by Congress? saying release the Epstein files? That did happen,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: or did I dream it? Well, that was the Epstein
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: File Transparency Act, and it's been more than a year
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: since that one passed. Congressman Massey introduced, I believe it
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: was yesterday, because I guess we need one of these
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: with our elected officials in Washington, D.C., the Epstein Files
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Transparency Act II. When one isn't enough, bring another one
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: to the floor. On the House floor tonight, I read
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: the names of several Epstein co-conspirators who should be investigated
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: and prosecuted, he said yesterday. I also began collecting 218
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: signatures for the discharge position to force a vote on
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: the Epstein Files Transparency Act 2. He specifically, you know,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: I didn't get a full list of the people that Epstein,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: or that Massey mentioned out loud in But yesterday, I
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: guess a couple of them were Prince Andrew and Les Wexner,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: billionaire retail mogul. Now, we all know about the Prince,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: former Prince, accused of sexual abuse by Virginia Guffrey. In February,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Wexner denied firsthand knowledge of Epstein's criminal activity during a deposition.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: He had employed Epstein as the financial manager back in
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: the 1990s and early 2000s. So lots of conspiracies swirling
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: around that, but everything else. Uh, I'm asking specifically said
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: this Epstein file transparency act to give state attorney generals
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: access to Epstein files required to prosecute perpetrators under state
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: law makes it easier for survivors to sue to get
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: their files. Well, I've got no problem with that either.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Justice delayed is still justice at some point, but I
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: guess the broader problem for me is if you had
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the Epstein trans files, transparency act one, and they were
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: supposed to release all the documents, it was signed into law.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Where in the hell are the damn documents, and why
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: do you need a second version of that?
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Huh? Anybody?
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: If you can answer that question, let me know. 525
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: right now, 55 KRC Talk Station. Local stories coming up.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Phone calls are preferred. Either way, be right back. What's happening?
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Tensions between the U. 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK. Tim just sent me,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: I was talking about the violence on UC's campus, and Tom,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: hold on one second. And it was near the stop
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: and go up there. He says, reported local news. Tim says,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: you know, two of my rental properties are near that
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: stop and go. He says, it's a police substation. So
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: police cars are parked there quite often. So I'm surprised
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: there was trouble there. I was like, are you serious?
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Multiple question marks. Yeah. He said, students used to refer
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: to it as the stop and rob or the stab
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: and go. He said, I think that's why they made
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: it a substation. So yeah, I guess there was a
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: police presence there. Apparently it didn't do anything. Anyway, maybe
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Ken Carver will comment on that later in the program.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Thanks for the heads up, Tim. Let's go to the
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: phone and see what Tom's got. Tom, thanks for calling
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: this morning. Welcome back to the 55KRC Morning Show.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Hey, good morning. I survived California.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Congratulations.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Made it back safe and sound. Holy Toledo, the gas
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: prices out there?
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: Ooh.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Good God. $ 569.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: For regular?
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: For regular.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Holy cow.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Over $ 7 for diesel. Ooh. Yeah, and my daughter's already
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: trying to work on me to move out there. I said,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: are you kidding me? No way.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Which city did you visit?
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Well, we were in Ontario, which is outside of L.A.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember being in Ontario.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's where she lived. I mean, it's beautiful out there.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Maybe in your experience, I have never in my life
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: It was a legal conference we were attending, and I
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: think it was in Palm Springs, and we flew in
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Ontario Airport and then drove to Palm Springs, if I
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: recall the trip correctly. My wife is listening right now.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: That's terrible. I have never in my life seen worse
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: pollution than when we landed in, you couldn't see, almost
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: literally you couldn't see across the street. It was dense.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: It was like, what is going on here?
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: When we drove her out there in May, I noticed
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: that because we came in, uh, to the LA area
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: through Palm Springs. And, uh, I thought we come over
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: this hill and we're going to see green golf courses and,
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: and all that. And you couldn't see nothing because all
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: the sand blowing around and, and all that. So, yeah,
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was nice that it was hot out
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: there this past weekend. Um, I think it's finally, I
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: think it's finally out of a hundred out there, uh,
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: today and tomorrow and all that. But, um, but it was,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: it was nice. You know, we did go out to
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Malibu beach and, Check that out. It was nice. I'm
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: not contributing to that craziness. That's insane out there. The
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: crap that they do out there, the stuff that they
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: go along with. There was a story out last week.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Some private citizen in a city council meeting suggested that
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: we pay for places for homeless people to go, for
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: all intents and purposes, go pleasure themselves. That's not our
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: responsibility as taxpayers. Forget that. but that's the kind of
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: crap they agree to out there And there's no way
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm not. I am not going to go
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: live out there and have my taxes. It's bad enough
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: in Ohio and anywhere else. And the federal government stuff
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: is no matter where you live in this country. But
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: I'm not doing it. It's just I can't I can't
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: bring myself to do that. So, oh, well, we need
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: more Republican voters. It doesn't matter anymore. That place is gone.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's so blue out there, you don't even
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: get a hint of red. You know, it's crazy out there.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: So you're talking about crime this morning. What do you
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: do about it? There's only one thing you do. You
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: have to, well, there's two things. You have to punish
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: people to the fullest extent of the law and make
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: a public spectacle of it. You have to make it
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: very clear we're not going to tolerate this kind of behavior.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: You've got to have people who are willing to do that,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: and that's the problem. We don't have politicians willing to
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: do that. Too many of the politicians are willing to
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: go the other way and try to go easy on people.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: So you have to punish people to the fullest extent
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: of the law and make a big deal about it
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: so these guys get an idea. Oh, you know what?
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: We can't keep doing this. You can have a cop
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: car sitting there all you want, but if nobody gets
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: out of that car and does anything, people find out
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: very quickly that you're not going to do anything about crime.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: So we're going to keep doing it. So that's one.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Do something about it. Number two, don't vote Democrat. Have
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: a great day, Brian.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: You too, Tom. yeah, I, I, I'm terror. I, I
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: thought Palm Springs was stupid, but they, if you like
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: playing tennis or golf, fine, you're in an okay place,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: but you know, in terms of its design, it's in
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: the middle of a desert. Oh, do you notice they're
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: having problems with water out in California? Colorado livers, not, uh,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: not delivering Lake Meads, almost completely drained. Yeah. There's a
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: model for future success there. Anyhow, 5, 1, 3, 7, 4, 9, 50, 500, 800, 8, 2, 3,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: talk pound by 50 on AT & T phones. What
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: do we got going on here? Um, Joe, queue up
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: the award in local stories. I'm disturbed as I could
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: possibly be on this one. Crews working to save a
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: nursing dog found on the side of the road in
• 21:48

• 22:20
  Speaker 1: and swelling on her face and mouth. Shelter said flies
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: were swarming her and the puppies. They assumed the mother

  Speaker 1: the dog and the five puppies to the Rolling Hills
• 22:31

• 22:41
  Speaker 1: God bless the people over at that veterinary clinic and
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: the shelter. And because of the medicine, they said she
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: was unable to nurse her puppies, so the team at
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: the veterinary clinic and the Humane Society stepped up and
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: are bottle feeding them to take care of them. The
• 22:53

  Speaker 1: near South Brand Boulevard At that location, police reviewed surveillance

• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Somewhere he has a mom and dad. We're so proud.

  Speaker 1: He's so well-known. You think he's a social media influencer
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: with this, Joe? 2025 crowd arrested after police received similar

• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Crowder was located as he moved around the various departments
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: of the big box retailer. Of course, using the store's

  Speaker 1: surveillance system, officers monitored the suspect as he walked through
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: the women's department where he was observed following female customers.
• 26:06

• 26:26
  Speaker 1: of peeping, prowling, and residential burglary in the Burbank and

  Speaker 1: subject of a viral video on TikTok showing him creeping
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: up behind a woman at Barnes & Noble, crouching as
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: he appears to sniff her buttocks. The headline did say,
• 26:44

  Speaker 1: two years behind bars, released in March of 2025 in
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: connection with several criminal cases. You just kind of really
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: wonder what's going through somebody's head when they do that.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Although I was told a very prominent executive at a
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: major broadcasting corporation, at parties would do that, would expose
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: himself through the zipper of his pants and just casually
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: walk through the crowd waiting to see if anybody saw it.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: This was, I think, more in the Mad Men days
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: or 70s days before we had political correctness and, well,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: the idea that you could call police and report someone
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: for that kind of lewd behavior. But, you know, weird
• 29:04

• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Blanco Lopez of Miami. He was at the ticket counter
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: on Sunday morning when an American Airlines ticket agent asked him,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: do you have any dangerous goods? Described as standard protocol.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Where's iHeartMedia aviation expert Jay Ratliff to comment on this one?
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: His response, no. And then he said, I have a grenade.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: He said that in Spanish before laughing.
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: Keep your stupid mouth shut.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Jay. Amen, brother. Ticket agent standing nearby told
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Blanco Lopez, that is not a joke, and then called authorities.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Airport bomb detection canine had to show up and check
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: on his luggage. No explosives, of course, were found. Deputy
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: said he was taken to the MDSO airport station and
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: told law enforcement that he was just joking around. Subsequently,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: arrested on charge of making a false report about placing
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: a bomb. Says Monday afternoon, the Cuban National was being

  Speaker 1: be set. Apparently hadn't been in front of a judge yet. Pittsburgh.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Two youth football coaches have now been indefinitely suspended because
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: of an on-field confrontation that turned into a brawl in
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: a game involving third and fourth grade players.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: Dude, what the hell?
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Carrollton and Keystone Oaks. That's the two teams. Youth football
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: coaches were indefinitely suspended. They got in a mix on
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: the field. Video recorded by Carrollton parent Ryan Kroc shows
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Carrollton and coach yelling on the field before a confrontation
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: escalated after a tackle. Coach identified as 24-year-old Dequay Canton.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: It can be seen approaching a man associated with the
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: opposing team. The two make contact before the other man
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: pushes Canton backwards and a referee throws a flag. Several
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: more adults then, of course, enter the field. The video
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: shows a woman telling Canton to leave before Canton appears
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: to knock her arm away. Another man then approaches Canton,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: who tackles him to the ground and appears to punch
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: him in the face. Canton apparently broke away before several
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: people tackled him to the ground again. Canton told local
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: news several of the players had approached him in tears
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: after allegedly being called racial slurs. He said he repeatedly
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: asked referees to investigate before he then, in his words,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: lost his cool. Ergo, the Steel City Youth Football League
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: indefinitely suspended both coaches. The league said it does plan
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: to review the video footage, referee reports, and witness statements
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: as part of the full investigation. You think they were
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: signed by the Steelers, Joe?
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: Just walk away.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I had that in the back of my mind, Joe.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: This is sad. Eighth grader found shot and killed inside
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: an apartment. In northeast Washington, D.C. last year, police said
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: the friends who were with her claimed that she shot herself.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Now a 17-year-old boy is facing a charge for that shooting. Initially,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: a teen boy was arrested and charged with gun possession.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: He told police he stole his uncle's gun and that
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Zatina Mason Brown was making TikToks while playing with it.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: He claimed she shot herself in the head. Fast forward
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: one year, he is being charged with murder. In court
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: last week, detectives testified that once they got the final
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: autopsy report, it revealed that someone else had, in fact,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: shot her. They said it was the 17-year-old boy, who
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: is only 15 years old at the time. Investigators say
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: another girl who was in the room initially told police
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: that she shot herself, but then changed her story. A
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: month after the shooting, witnesses came forward and said that
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: while the late Zatina child was making videos, the boy
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: started to dance close to her. She pushed him off,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: gave him back the gun, and then sat down. The
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: boy sat across from her and shot her. Boy's mom
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: apparently was home during the shooting and knocked on the
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: door when the shot went off. Boy told the other
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: girl in the room to be quiet and they called police,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: revealed in court that the girl who was arrested in
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: June for lying to police, police believe there may have
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: been other people who were in the room based upon
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: the alleged photos of her body and messages going around
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: on social media.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: God almighty.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: And finally, Two Georgia women sentenced for fraud scheme involving
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: stealing nearly $ 10 million from Amazon. Brittany Hudson and Katrika
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Wortham said to have executed a scheme in 2022 over
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: a six-month period. Warrants say the two submitted more than
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: 1,000 fake vendor invoices to Amazon to get reimbursements for
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: goods and services. At the time, Wortham worked as an
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Amazon warehouse operation manager. Hudson owned a delivery company that
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: contracted with Amazon, obviously allowing them to facilitate this fraud scheme,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: to use $ 9. 4 million that they collected through the fraud
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: to buy an expensive home and two luxury cars. And
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: while they were out on bond after being charged in 2022,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: they tried to defraud another company the following year. Hudson
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: sentenced to 16 years in prison this week, Wortham previously
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: sentenced will be serving 17 years, and they both have
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: been ordered to pay Amazon back and forfeit their home
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: and vehicles. Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots. 6
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: o'clock hour, wide open. If you'd like to call, I'd
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: love to hear from you. Plenty going on in the world.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: I will be right back after the top of the
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: hour news.
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: America.
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: I have a radio.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: 606 at 55 KRCD talk station. Brian Thomas right here.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Glad to be. 55KRC. iheart. com is the blog page, podcast page,
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: and you can't listen to Christopher Smitheman like on a Monday.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: And check it out what he had to say, of course,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: commenting on the violence in downtown Cincinnati, notably the four-year-old
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: girl that got shot. Just totally innocent child. And on
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: that note, one hour from now, Ken Kober, the Fraternal
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Order of Police President for the Cincinnati Police Department, joins
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: the program to talk about violence downtown, notably on the
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: heels of yesterday's five people getting arrested for violence on
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: righteous outside of UC's campus. Plus, he's also going to
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: comment on the silence from City Hall, which was one
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: of the topics that Christopher Smitherman brought up yesterday morning.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Tom Zawistowski at 730, wetopeopleconvention.org. Tom Zawistowski, again, on conservatives
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: needing to get out and vote. I've got to comment
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: on that here in a second. But also debt. We
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: do talk about debt, $ 40 trillion and growing by leaps
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: and bounds every moment. We've got a spending problem. But
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: we do have a lot of assets, and Tom wants
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: to ground us a little bit in terms of the
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: United States' vast asset resources. Inside scoop with Breitbart News,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: 8.05 with immigration expert Neil Munro. Talk about shutting down
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: the illegal migrant truckers. Big announcement on that yesterday. The
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: fraud involved in the driving schools that give illegal immigrants
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: who can't speak English commercial driver's licenses. It's pretty overwhelming.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: The number of people out there on the road who
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: are dangerous is also frightening. I'm glad they're cracking down
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: on that. But is migrant crime a fake problem? That's
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: what the Democrats are saying. Neil Munro will talk about
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: that as well. 8.30 with the Daniel Davis deep dive,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: the latest on Iran, and maybe a comment or two
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: about Russia seeming to ramp things up in its bombing
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: campaign against Kyiv, while the Ukrainians are busily bombing targets
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: way inside the interior of Russia, notably hitting their oil
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: and gas infrastructure. Nobody expected that one to go on
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: that long, and of course on the heels of, well, commenting,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: as we will, about the Iran war, nobody expected this
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: situation with us and the Iranians to go on as
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: long as it has been. and now we're sort of
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: in an economic stalemate with them, hopefully starving the Iranians
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: without having to engage in more kinetic warfare. And I'm
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: sure Daniel Davis will comment about the Washington Post reporting
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: over our, well, rapidly diminished arms as a consequence of
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: the global demands on the United States, and of course
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: us shipping lots and lots of our hardware into the
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Middle East over the past six months or more. So
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: what do we got here? I'm I have to ask,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: can you walk back an unequivocal, absolutely stated comment? And
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about this Hassan Piker guy because
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: he is in bed with the far left. He has
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: been out campaigning with Abdul Al-Sayed, who got the U.S.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Senate nominee on the Democrat side for Michigan. You may
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: have noted that one. He is, without question, a vile
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: human being from my perspective. He has expressed just absolute
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: hatred for Jewish people, the Israeli state, He has expressed
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: profound support for terrorist organizations who are busily trying to
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: kill Jews and eradicate Israel. He had some positive things
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: to say about the terrorist attack on the Israeli citizens
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: October 7th, where old women and children were raped and murdered,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: among other horrific crimes. So he's a vile human being.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: But what is it with Democrats who are allowing him
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: to campaign with him, who are embracing perhaps him campaigning
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: with him, like this Abdul El-Sayed guy? And he'll need
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: to read you a statement from this miserable piece of excrement.
• 38:51
  Speaker 6: Ready?
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Quote. This is from just a couple of years ago.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: Hassan Piker. I say I hate America all the time.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: A lot of. I got to watch my P's and
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: Q's given FCC obligations. A lot of M. F-ers want
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: to kill me over that tape, meaning the one where
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: he said, I hate America all the time. But at
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: least I say with my F-wording chest, people will be like, Hassan,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: you hate America. I'm like, yeah, I do. I do
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: hate America. Close quote. Now, can you walk back a
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: statement like that? Is that even possible? Fast forward a
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: few years after he's been out on the campaign trail
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: with Abdul El-Sayed and buddying up with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: other far leftists, Can you walk back a statement like that? Because,
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: of course, his statements, because he has been embraced by,
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: or at least people have not distanced themselves after previously
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: embracing Assange Piker, they can't say that they reject what
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: he has said. These Democrat candidates, and that's real puzzling.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: It's even puzzling for some Democrats who are like, this
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: guy's vile. I am on record. Some Democrats. Debbie Dingell's
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: one of them. We'll get to that in a second. Now,
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: just the other day, he was asked about this. Do
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: you hate America? It is completely ridiculous. He said, It
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: is laughable to say guys like myself, guys like Abdul El-Sayed,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: we hate America.
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: Wait.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: Now, do you believe Hassan Piker now? Or do you
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: believe him when he said unequivocally with his chest out
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: and repeated multiple times that he hates America? Well, now
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: that it's gotten some Democrats in a bit of hot water,
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: people are now paying a little closer attention to their
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: nominee for Senate and maybe having some concerns. I know
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: the Jews in Michigan are having a real problem with
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Abdul El-Sayed. And he's trying to engage in outreach over them.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: But if you're a Jewish person in Michigan and you
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: see this Abdul El-Sayed guy and some of the things
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: he said and coupled it with his embrace of Assan
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: Piker and his refusal to distance himself from Assan Piker,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: don't you appreciate that you've got a major problem on
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: your hands? Can Abdul El-Sayed represent your Jewish interest in Michigan? So,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: Last Friday, Abdul Al-Sayed on MS Now. Yeah, I know.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: The program, and I know no one's ever heard of
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: it in my listening audience. I certainly have the moment
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: on MS Now. He said, this campaign is not about
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: a streamer in California. This campaign is about affordability in Michigan.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: The campaign is about the ability to have health care.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: The host, though, said, whoa, hold on. The streamer in
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: California said, does campaign with a lot of Democrats. So
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: he's not just a streamer. That's true. And if you're
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: a candidate and you got this, uh, this, this, this pie,
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: this piker guy around, why would you want him around?
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you come out loud and say, I didn't
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: invite that guy here. He doesn't represent my interest. Anyway. Also,
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: I had a response to that being probbed, uh, tested
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: on his, his comments. The challenges Michigan just face was
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: why a lot of people get so frustrated about politics
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: and political media. No, you are frustrated over direct questions
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: about your affiliation and association with this vile human being,
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Hasan Piker, and questions swirling about why don't you distance
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: him yourself so you can assure the constituents of Michigan
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: that you're not a crazy anti-Semitic guy who literally hates America,
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: who is on record multiple times saying you are. During
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: the interview, the host asked El-Sayed why he would not
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: fully disassociate himself from Piker. And, of course, bringing up
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: the fact that there are a lot of Jewish voters
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: in Michigan who are concerned. Why keep him so close,
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: he was asked, or why not fully disassociate yourself with him,
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: especially when Michigan is so tight? El-Sayed said he endorsed
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: then-Vice President Kamala Harris the day after she became the
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: Democratic nominee, despite disagreeing with the administration's position on Gaza
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: because he thought Trump would be worse.
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: Really? Really?
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: And that is responsive to the question about this Piker
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: guy in what way? I'm calling on leaders from all
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: of the communities under the Democratic umbrella to recognize that
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: Mike Rogers is an existential threat to everything we believe
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: in when it comes to our democracy. That's his response.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: And then the campaign is not about a streamer in California. No,
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: it is. And let me ask you this, Mr. El-Sayed,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: everything we believe in, Mike Rogers is an existential threat to,
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: can you break down what you exactly believe in? Because
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: being associated with Assange Piker, some may conclude that you
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: believe in, oh, I don't know, murderous terrorist attacks against
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: Jewish innocent civilians. Some might believe that since you affiliate
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: yourself with Assange Piker, you literally hate America. I think
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: that's a bigger existential threat than Mike Rogers and his
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: conservative platform. Enter Representative Debbie Dingell. She's a Democrat. She's
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: from Michigan. What he says is just wrong, referring to Piker.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: And also adding, I think it's incumbent upon Abdul El-Sayed
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: to make it very clear to people that he doesn't
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: agree with things that Ahsan Piker says. I pray that
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: we're not going to see him in Michigan from now
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: on until the election, referring again to Piker. But ma'am,
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: he does agree with Piker. What rational human being, when
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: challenged with the vile comments from Hasan Piker, which you
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: could go on for an hour's worth of time and
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: recite with quotes, what prudent candidate wouldn't distance himself from
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: that guy? And the only answer to why he wouldn't
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: say out loud, I reject these vile comments from Hasan
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: Piker is because, yes, he does agree with some of
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: the things that Piker says. He can't distance himself from
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: that because he's on record in concurrence with some of
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: these vile politics and statements. This is what you're in for.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: This is why I'm pleading with everybody in the listening audience. No,
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: we don't have Abdel El-Sayed to vote for here in
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: Hamilton County or in the state of Ohio. But you
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: do have Democrats who refuse, like Chuckie Schumer refuses, to
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: reject Hassan Piker's statements.
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer. viewed by some as maybe a possibly reasonable Democrat,
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: has been pressed on this one as well, and he
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: won't distance himself from Son Piker. This is what you're
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: in for. Boiling it down, it seems to be absolute
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: outright hatred toward America. And if you don't believe that
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: the Democrat Socialists of America hate America, I think it's
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: easy to extrapolate hatred, disdain, or at least outright rejection
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: of what America is all about when you read the
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: damn platform. eradicating a giant chunk of the Constitution, getting
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: rid of the police department, getting rid of prisons. I mean,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: it's there on the site. Go ahead, Democratic Socialists of
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: America website. Do you think that they love America? Do
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: you think they embrace America? No, absolutely not. This is,
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: I think we can boil it all down to a
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: singular word, hate. And you're going to sit at home?
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: You're not going to get up and go vote. 617,
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: 55 KRC talk station. Oh, look, odor exit. Doesn't work
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: on the talk station. That's 622, 55 KRC talk station. Yes, Eric,
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: you're right. He, Piker, also said that we deserve 9-11. Seriously.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: 2019 live stream, Hassan Piker said that, quote, America deserved 9-11,
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: close quote. Now, Al Sayed, for his part, did call
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: that comment dumb in an early August interview. Is dumb
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: a sufficient condemnation? Wall Street Journal says dumb isn't the
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: condemnation that that remark deserved. It's exactly. They also pointed
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: over the journal about this very topic about Hassan Piker
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: and the liability that he is for Al Sayed's campaign
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: against Mike Rogers in Michigan. Most recently, Piker said, are
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: you ready? Hassan Piker. If Jews in America keep putting
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: this idea out there that they are singularly invested in Israel,
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: eventually someone is going to come around and take action,
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: not against the state of Israel, mind you, but against
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: American Jews, which I think the journal appropriately interprets as,
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: in other words, Jews are at fault if they're attacked
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: and they're asking for it. Piker also excuses Hamas as
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: the lesser evil and justifies Hezbollah and Houthi attacks. These
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: are unequivocal statements from Hassan Piker, and again, embraced by
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: Democratic Senate candidate El-Sayed. Question for Mr. Schumer. They ask,
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: why not publicly say Mr. Piker's brand of anti-Semitism has
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: no place in the Democratic Party and stand with some honor?
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know that you can answer that question. Why not? Well,
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: it's because I think the Democrats have embraced the whole
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: concept of anti-Semitism as a party platform. And I stand
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: in awe and wonder over that. How in God's name
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: did the party of the Jewish people here in America,
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: predominantly so. It's almost like when you consider the black
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: vote and it is overwhelmingly Democrat. If you didn't get
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: the memo, same thing with the Jewish vote as far
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: as everything I've read, statistically speaking. And something I've talked
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: about with my Jewish friends multiple times over the year.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: Why is it that you are such a pro-Democrat party?
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: When Again, in my perception over my lifetime, it seems
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: that the Republican Party has a much stronger support for
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: the state of Israel. Now, that's not to say that
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: all American Jewish people are supporters of the state of Israel.
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: I even know some Jewish people who are not big
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: fans of the whole concept. But I guess my question
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: is sort of rhetorical to my Jewish friends. Don't you
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: see the Democrat Party is walking away from you? They're
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: failure to renounce this anti-Semitism, and it's all over the place.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: It speaks volumes. All I can say is, while you
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: may be a reluctant Republican voter, try to ask yourself,
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: wait a second. Now, ignoring evil orange man who is
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: irredeemable in the hearts and minds of so many people,
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: that ship has sailed, so you hate that guy, fine.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: I'll concede that. But are you voting for Donald Trump
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: when you're considering a candidate other than, say, El-Sayed? What's
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: wrong with Mike Rogers? What is the existential threat to
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: your life, to the Jewish community's life, or anything else
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: going on in the United States of America as contrasted
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: with El-Sayed? Why wouldn't you vote for the lesser of
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: two evils when you know the other side of the
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: equation really does not, well, doesn't like you or has
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: it out for the Jewish people or does not reject
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: outright anti-Semitism? I'm asking. I'm befuddled and I'm baffled. Maybe
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: someone's got an explanation for that. If so, feel free
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: to give me a call. The other thing I need
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: you to do is sign up. It's coming up fast.
• 50:20
  Speaker 6: Deep Talk Station.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: 630-55-KRC. Deep Talk Station. Doing local stories here. Camp Washington, Chile. Well,
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: it's closed right now. Apparently this morning a drunk driver
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: crashed into the building. Fortunately, nobody heard. The driver is
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: under arrest for an OVI charge. Police on the scene
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: this morning, real early. Camp Washington Chili owner Maria Popkirk,
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: interviewed by the Enquirer. So she was at the restaurant,
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: speaking to the building inspector. So the restaurant's going to
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: be closed for a few days. And it's the first
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: time apparently they've ever had to close. Been there forever.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: Iconic restaurant. According to the Popkirk speaking with the news,
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: the driver was at the BP next door. And this
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: is what she said. She was so drunk, she flew
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: over the wall between our two properties. She hit a van,
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: she flew over the wall backwards, and the back end
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: of her car is in our building. She also noted
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: that an after-hours bar that she said opened about six
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: months ago on Burlington Street apparently has brought some issues
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: to the area. She said there is an off-hours bar
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: operating right around the corner from us, meaning when the
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: bar closes, this place opens. People get so obliterated. That's
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: where she was coming from, a bar that shouldn't be open.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: But nobody's done anything about it. Maybe now the city
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: can take some action. They know about it. Nobody does anything,
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: which is a little frustrating. It's bad for the neighborhood.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: That sounds like we're continuing a theme this morning, doesn't it?
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: Continuing a theme over a long period of time. Signal
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: 99 has been on this program many times. She is
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: on Facebook. I recommend you follow her because she's got
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: some great inside information about bad things going on in
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: government in the city of Cincinnati. And she's in favor
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: of law and order. She's got a lot of law
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: enforcement officers and fire personnel and others who provide her information.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: Accurate it is. She has released her endorsements, or the
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: collective that is Signal 99. All the right people. So
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: we've got Governor Ramaswamy and Macaulay. Attorney General, vote Keith Faber.
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: Vote Frank LaRose for auditor. Vote Sprague for Secretary of State.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: Vote Jay Edwards for treasurer. Vote Dan Hawkins and Colleen
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: O'Donnell for Supreme Court. Houston for Senate, Eric Conroy for U.S.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: Representative from the 1st, and of course, Warren Davidson from
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: the 8th. Great. Zach Haynes over in the 7th in
• 52:44

  Speaker 1: Eichholz in the 27th, and the 28th, Jill Cole. Cindy
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: Abrams in the 29th, and Mike Odioso in the 30th.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: And the all-important judicial races is one of the main
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: reasons I wanted to read this. Are you ready for
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: Common Pleas here in Hamilton County? Chris McDowell. Leah Denkelacher.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: And a shout-out to Leah, who invited me to speak
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: at her October 1st final event before the election event.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Leah Denkelacher. I am proud to be invited
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: to do that, and I am supporting your campaign. Betsy Sunderman.
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: Katie Cash. Roger Bouchard. Dennis Charles Mahoney. And Robert Goering.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: Over in probate court, absolutely. Ralph Winkler and Lord Almighty,
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: don't we need to get rid of Judge Bloom? Vote
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: Susan Lucan. And yes, there is a one commissioner race.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: Signal 99 backing Jonathan Pearson. So a good solid list there.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Signal 99, for putting it together. Other local stories.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: Dathan Hall convicted in 2024 murder of Jason Stewart in
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: College Hill. Sentenced yesterday afternoon. Are you ready? 48 years
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: to life in prison with the possibility of parole. He
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: was convicted by a jury earlier in the month on,
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: actually last month, it is September, on seven charges in
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: connection with Stewart's death. Prosecutors said Hall grew to resent
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: Stewart after Stewart stood up for his cousin during a dispute.
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: So kill him. Prosecutors say November 29th, 24, Hall saw
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: Stewart at a Rose Golden nightclub, got into a car
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: outside the club, waited outside for 45 minutes. Prosecutors said
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: Hall stalked Stewart, followed him when he left the club.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: Hall eventually pulled up beside Stewart, a traffic light, and, quote,
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: riddled his car with bullets, close quote. Hours after the murder,
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: Hall changed his phone number and exchanged his rental car
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: with another. Investigators used phone data and rental car records
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: and surveillance video to tie Hall to the crime. Second
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: shooting he was arrested for in 10 years. Back in 2014,
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: he was arrested in connection with the death of Jerry
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: and Dean, pled guilty to involuntary manslaughter, and got six
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: years in jail for that one. Hall's family, though, claims
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: he was not the one who killed Dean. 48 years
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: to life, and you could have just walked away. 635, 55KRC,
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: the talk station. Feel free to give me the talk station.
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: Try to make it a happy Tuesday if you can. Frank,
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: give me a call if you'd like. Hank did. Hey, Hank,
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: thanks for calling this morning. Welcome to the show.
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: Thanks, Brian.
• 55:33
  Speaker 7: I just wanted to make a quick comment. You were
• 55:36
  Speaker 7: talking earlier about the socialists wanting to get rid of
• 55:39
  Speaker 7: police in prisons.
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 55:41
  Speaker 9: So how's it going to work out.
• 55:43
  Speaker 7: If I decide to, like, put on a crusader cross
• 55:46
  Speaker 7: and go out and behead Muslims? or get some piano
• 55:49
  Speaker 7: wire and start stringing up socialists and communists, they're not
• 55:53
  Speaker 7: going to have police to stop me or prison to
• 55:55
  Speaker 7: put me in.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: That is the burning question for everybody who's tried to
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: ask that question of any DSA candidate. Well, what are
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: you going to do? They usually default like rapists. I mean,
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: you may choose which crime you would prefer to engage
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: in along the lines of what you just described, but
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: I always like to default to the worst possible type
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: of criminal, a child rapist murderer type. What are you
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: going to do with them? And they only have like
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: a deer in the headlights kind of say, well, you know,
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: it's the ultimate goal, they'll say. Down the road, way
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: down the road, we won't need police. We won't need
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: prisons anymore. They never tell you about point A to
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: point B. It's like the whole underpants gnomes thing. You know,
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: phase one, collect underpants. Phase three, profit. Phase one, say
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: you want to abolish prisons in the police system. Phase three,
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: they'll be abolished. Somewhere in the interim is the whole
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: idea that you're going to need to explain how it's
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: going to work and you're going to bring it into practice.
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: No one has an answer to that question.
• 56:47
  Speaker 7: Well, they've already kind of started not having prisons because
• 56:50
  Speaker 7: they won't send anybody to them. I think it's gone
• 56:54
  Speaker 7: beyond the underpants. No, I think we're in Wile E.
• 56:56
  Speaker 7: Coyote territory now.
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you may be right, Hank. And most notably going
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: to the heels of the problems we have in the
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati, what we're talking about with Ken Culber. Yeah,
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: how about holding juveniles accountable for, let's say, if they're
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: walking around squeezing rounds off with a handgun? Yeah, that
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: might be a good idea. You get up front on
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: crime like that, but in a post- Police department post-prison
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: world where there aren't any of those things, I guess
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: juveniles will be able to run around squeezing off rounds
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: of people and there'll be no accountability. Well, maybe that's
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: the way it is right now.
• 57:25
  Speaker 5: Huh.
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: I have to think about that a little bit. Hank,
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: excellent question.
• 57:29
  Speaker 7: It is.
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: Okay. And Jay's out there somewhere who's going to be
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: thinking about these $ 600 million the state of Ohio has
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: given to the Cleveland Browns. I, my mind or my
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: eyes blew up when I saw this sort of kind
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: of Scott Springer did an article yesterday from the Cincinnati
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: Inquirer question. How expensive is a Bengals game? And I
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: just asked Joe Strecker the question. Now you come up
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: with a figure. If you haven't read the article, four
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: tickets for its family of four, right? Four tickets plus
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: two beers, two soft drinks, four hot dogs and parking. Now,
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: Joe barked out something like $ 300 or $ 400. You know
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: what the figure is? According to a recent study published
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: by something called the Action Network, which Scott Springer was
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: reporting on. Now, we are right in the middle. Actually,
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: just $ 1. 20 above the national average for NFL stadiums.
• 58:28
  Speaker 6: $ 1, 475.
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: 85 for a family of four. I just can't get
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: over that. Almost $ 1, 500 to go to a blank and
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: football game?
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: Huh.
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: Hey, Joe, how much does it cost you to go
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: to a game when you get to see it on
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: a big screen TV at your own home with your
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: own beer and your own Schlivovitz bottle? What do you
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: think that comes to?
• 59:00
  Speaker 4: $ 50 total for everything you'll have in a great day,
• 59:06
  Speaker 4: plus the use of your own bathroom facilities.
• 59:09
  Speaker 7: Hey.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: And no taxpayer expense for that. Anyway, let's see what
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: Sue's got this morning. Sue, thanks for calling this morning.
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: Happy Tuesday to you.
• 59:18
  Speaker 9: Happy Tuesday, Brian. Last week or the week before, I
• 59:23
  Speaker 9: heard that there was a million-dollar settlement somewhere in Fairfield School.
• 59:29
  Speaker 9: And it was the result of a girl who committed suicide.
• 59:34
  Speaker 9: I think it might have been middle school. And so
• 59:38
  Speaker 9: the million dollars, I'm not sure where it's going, but
• 59:40
  Speaker 9: one of the things that they're going to do is
• 59:42
  Speaker 9: hire an anti-bullying resource officer. And that just, you know,
• 59:51
  Speaker 9: I just heard the other guy talk, or the DSA
• 59:54
  Speaker 9: and not punishing criminals criminals and that and i mean
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 9: anti-bullying resource officer don't they have enough admin people they
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 9: need someone special to hold their hand this is just
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 9: not i.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: Agree with you completely i think that's a rhetorical question
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: because you know where i am on that yeah i
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: wasn't familiar they just immediately pulled it up uh it
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: is a million dollar settlement apparently the daughter committed suicide
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: more than a decade ago but they did reach a
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: settlement with the family um They filed a lawsuit in
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: federal court after the suicide, claiming that their calls for
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: help went unanswered. They agreed to pay the family $ 1. 25 million.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: District will also hire, here you go, a consultant for
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: one year to determine whether the district should take additional
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: steps to respond and to prevent bullying in the future.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: Also reported here, the school district has also hired a
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: bullying and harassment specialist. to make sure that schools are
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: complying with Title VI and Title IX requirements. Does that
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: make you feel better, Sue?
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 8: Yeah, no, it doesn't.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: And what is a specialist? I mean, can't we all
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: agree that we probably could flag bullying when we hear it?
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, is that really like objectively, yeah, that's bullying,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: you're being mean, don't do that. I mean, if you
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: hear something like that, do you need to be a
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: specialist in bullying to tell that kid to stop it
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: or to discipline the child if the kid doesn't get
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: back in line again? Or continues to harass and bully?
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: Problem solved, I guess. I don't know.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 9: It could be a new college degree.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: I bet it already is, Sue.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you're probably right.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: You know, I might have to do independent research on that. Joe,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: look it up. Can you get a college degree in
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: becoming a bullying expert? Sue, thank you for bringing it up.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 9: One more thing. At the Catholic school, the yardstick works
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 9: real good.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: Do they still use those?
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: Mrs.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: Griswold, I don't know if she's still alive. My first
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: grade teacher in public school, she had a ruler. And
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: she would whack the hell out of your knuckles if
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: you got out of line. 646, coming up at 647. Jay?
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: I am still reeling. And Jay's on the phone because
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: I mentioned his name. How much does it cost to
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: go to a Bengals game? Family of four average.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 6: $ 1, 475.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: 85, and I mentioned in the context of $ 600 million
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: going to the Cleveland Browns. That's a deal up there
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: compared to here. Cleveland Browns, $ 823. 13 for a family of four.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: Maybe $ 600 million going to the Cleveland Browns Stadium results
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: in a lower price for a family of four. The
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: worst on the list, Highmark Stadium, Buffalo Bills. Just shy
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: of $ 2, 200. Jay, welcome to the morning show.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 5: Hey, good morning, Brian. I couldn't help myself.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 9: I know.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: I was hoping you'd chime in.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 5: You know, they always sell us and talk about all
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 5: these NFL towns talk about that whenever the people are
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 5: going to have to pay for a billion-dollar stadium, like
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 5: the Bengals, But the GDP, the economic growth that's going
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 5: to come off of this is going to be astounding.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 5: It's going to pay off many times over. So if
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 5: I understand it right, the products and services provided were
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 5: four hot dogs, two beers, and two soft drinks for
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 5: a family of four.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: And parking.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 5: Oh, I forgot parking.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: You make a good point there. $ 56.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: At the same time. Scott Springer from the Enquirer said
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: that it is reported it's 56 bucks they factored in
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: for parking at Pecor Stadium.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 6: 56 bucks!
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 5: At the same time, you take a look at how
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 5: many people, and I keep hearing this survey, every year
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 5: it seems like it's getting worse, how many Americans can
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 5: get their hands on $ 1, 000 in the event of an emergency?
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 5: And I think the numbers are now close to like 70%
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 5: of Americans cannot get their hands on $ 1, 000 of cash
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 5: in the event of an emergency. And all of these
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 5: NFL towns that are financially raping the citizens and our
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 5: good governor up in Columbus and the Ohio Republican Party
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 5: is still behind the great lie that this NFL tax,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 5: the football tax, is a good thing for the community.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: Well, where is it?
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 5: Where is the economic growth trend in all these NFL towns?
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 5: Buffalo's not doing well. Cleveland's is not doing well. Cincinnati's
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 5: not doing well. How's Baltimore and Detroit looking these days?
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 5: I could go on and on and on about these
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 5: NFL towns, but the football tax doesn't end there. I
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 5: ran some numbers.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: I have a buddy who's a groundskeeper at a public school.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 5: A million dollars in a declining enrollment, tiny little school
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 5: in Northeast Ohio. About every five years, the football field
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 5: gets redone at a million dollars. Now, you have about
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 5: 300 people show up on Friday nights for about six
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 5: home games, and the ticket price is $ 7. I did
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 5: some math that said, no, the taxpayers, if you wanted
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 5: to really foot that bill, the football ticket for high
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 5: school football ought to be about $ 1, 000 for 300 people
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 5: on a million-dollar investment that gets renewed. And that's just
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 5: the field. He talks about the local cops. He has
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 5: to be there to set up all day. He has
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 5: to be there late at night paying overtime to clean
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 5: up the mess. On and on and on and on.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 5: Get the locker rooms ready, the field house. Everything gets broke.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 5: They have to put it all back together. Think about
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 5: the extra busing. It is easily $ 1, 000 for people to
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 5: go to a high school football ticket. But the 300
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 5: people that go, that's being subsidized by.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: The rest of us.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 5: Well, where do we pay that? In your property tax.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 5: That's where your school tax is coming from. So just
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 5: take your property tax, multiply that times 0.6. And part
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 5: of your football tax for your high school is in there.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 5: We had a lawsuit with the NCAA going after all
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 5: the state universities. They're paying like $ 500, 000 a year. That's
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 5: coming out of our pocket. And then the NFL with
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 5: all this ongoing stadium freebies that are going on.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: So it's ridiculous.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: You didn't call looking for an argument.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 5: No, I get it, man.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 6: Don't vote Rhino. Don't vote Democrat.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 7: Have a good day, brother.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: Indeed.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: Although, don't vote Rhino. I'm pretty critical considering the state
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: of Ohio is red. And they're giving the Cleveland Browns
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: $ 600 million. Did I mention that before? Coming up at 6.56.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: Coming up on FOP President Ken Cobers. It's 7.06 here
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: at 55KRC Talk Station. Trying to make it a happy Tuesday.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: Stick around for Tom Zawistowski. Bottom of the Sarah. In
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: the meantime, I am pleased to welcome back to the
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: 55KRC Morning Show, FOP President Ken Kober. He represents the
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati Police Department union members. And I am happy to
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: have him back on. Ken, it's great to hear from
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: you this morning, especially given the violence that's going on
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: in and around my alma mater, University of Cincinnati campus.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: Good to hear from you. Apparently had an incident just
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: yesterday involving five, well, four youths and one adult for
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: disorderly conduct or violence or whatever the hell they were
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: arrested for. This is kind of continuing a theme of
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: violence in downtown Kent because we recently had reports of
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: multiple shootings around the campus there. Things weren't that way
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: back when I was on campus, but it's that way,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: and a lot of parents are expressing real concern, which
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: I certainly understand. Ken, what's going on with this, and
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: what are we doing about it?
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Brian.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I echo some of your sentiments. I'm an alumni
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 8: of UC as well, and it certainly wasn't like it
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 8: when I was there 25 years ago, almost 30 years ago.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 8: And a lot of it is.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 8: School letting out, you know, the police are doing everything
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 8: they can to have as many people up there to
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 8: keep people orderly. Um, but it's just, it's difficult when
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 8: you got an entire high school letting out at the
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 8: same time. And then all of a sudden, you know,
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 8: you mix that with college kids and it just, it
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 8: becomes a disaster, unfortunately.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: Well, as has been reported this, uh, this incident from yesterday,
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: four juveniles and one adult got into a large fight.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: near the stop-and-go on West McMillan. Now, Tim sent me
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: a Facebook message this morning saying that stop-and-go is a
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: police substation. Is that accurate?
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I assume it still is. I know when I
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 8: worked in District 5, which is now District.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 10: 1, yeah, I mean, they've got an area.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 8: It's kind of where the people that own that enjoy
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 8: having the police there, of course, because it's, you know,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 8: be able to have a police presence, but it has
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 8: been a place typically where officers are able to go
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 8: to get off their feet for a couple minutes and
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 8: they got to complete a report or whatever. But it's
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 8: just it's frustrating to see that school started and already
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 8: we're having problems with large groups of kids that just
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 8: can't behave in public.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: Well, which high school is the one that's the source
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: of the trouble, Ken?
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: Well, Hughes High.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 8: School is right by University of Cincinnati's campus.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: I thought that's what you were going to say, but
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: I just want to make sure it was on the
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: record of which high school it is. Have the campus
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: police or the Cincinnati Police Department sat down with officials
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: over at Hughes High School to talk with them about
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: the unruly nature of their children after being let out
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: of school?
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 8: I'm not sure that that's occurred. I know that the
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 8: Cincinnati Police are working with UC Police to try to
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 8: figure out exactly what. how to tackle this. It seems
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 8: like it's a problem every year. And the reality is,
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 8: I mean, you can try to throw as many officers
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 8: up there as you can, but when these kids don't fear,
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 8: they don't fear consequence. I mean, you could put an
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 8: army of cops up there and they're still going to
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 8: act up because, and we've seen it school year after
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 8: school year, these kids continue to act this way with
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 8: little to no consequence. And that's why this behavior continues.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: And let us agree that that's the root of the problem.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: We talked about, I talked about this with Christopher Smithman yesterday,
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: who was on a tear about Well, Judge Bloom, for example,
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: in juvenile court, and when you get a firearms offense
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: for a juvenile, apparently that gets dropped right away for
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: whatever reason. I mean, if gun violence is a problem,
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: wouldn't you think that they would go after them as
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: hard as possible to set an example for the rest
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: of the world?
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 8: You would certainly think so. You know, like I said,
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 8: I've said it ad nauseum that these kids are not
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 8: going and stealing guns. They're not possessing guns because they're
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 8: collectors of guns. They're doing it because they're going to
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 8: shoot each other. They're going to rob each other. They're
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 8: going to rob some unsuspecting victim. And it's just a
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 8: fundamental flaw, thinking that somehow a kid with a gun
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 8: is really not that big a deal. It's crazy to
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 8: think that way.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: Well, especially when you have a child involved in the
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: juvenile court system, to whatever degree, that has multiple involvements.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, they get caught with a gun committing a crime.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: And as you find out, they've been arrested three, four,
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: ten times previously. And yet nothing happens to them by
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: way of strong punishment. Clearly, the word has gotten out.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is a train wreck for our kids
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: in this community.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 8: Sure. I mean, look at this morning. There's a hearing
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 8: in juvenile court this morning for a 16-year-old that murdered
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 8: a 14-year-old. And the prosecutor's office, the police are going
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 8: to try to get this juvenile bound over to an adult.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 8: That way maybe there will be some actual adult consequences
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 8: when you take somebody's life. But how did you not
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 8: see this coming? You have a 16-year-old that has been
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 8: arrested multiple times. And every time it seems like their
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 8: behavior continues to escalate until all of a sudden here
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 8: we are and they're reporting about a 16-year-old that murdered
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 8: a 14-year-old. And all of a sudden everybody wants to
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 8: look and go, well, my gosh, how did this happen?
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: Well, we all know how it happened.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 8: It's the lack of consequences that lead up to this.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 8: And now all of a sudden, a 14-year-old is dead.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 8: Two lives, two families are changed forever because of a
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 8: lack of accountability with our juveniles.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: Well, and the criminal justice system is there, I suppose,
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: often to stand in the place of maybe a poor
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: home life situation where the children have not grown up
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: in an environment where they are instructed not to engage in, well,
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: criminal activity. I mean, we all know the root of
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: the problem is a deterioration of the family structure or
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: just children not having a concerned adult in their world.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: So welcome to the police department. It's a substitute. It's
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: like teachers being a substitute for children and trying to
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: teach them morals and ethics and, well, appropriate societal behavior.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: It's just an impossible task for a government entity or
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: a teacher to take on that role. I don't know
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: how we change the situation, but in the absence of
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: strong criminal justice response, we're just going to, it's just
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: going to be a more growing problem, I presume.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, all of these societal issues seem to
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 8: be just thrown at the feet of the police and say,
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 8: fix us. Look at our youth services unit. They do
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 8: a phenomenal job all summer long. They're holding different youth
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 8: camps to try to teach these kids that there's another way.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 8: And the reason that they have to do that is
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 8: because of the lack of parenting.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: So now all of a.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 8: Sudden you've got these cops that are trying to teach
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 8: these kids that there's another way, but they can't possibly
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 8: reach every child. They just can't, no matter how hard
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 8: they try. There's not enough time in the day to
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 8: take every kid in Cincinnati and say, listen, we know
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 8: your parents may be failing you, but we're going to
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 8: show you another way. Then what ends up happening, those
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 8: kids aren't able to be touched, are the ones that
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 8: eventually are out here. Now they're running with guns and
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 8: are shooting each other. And it's just, it's a terrible
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 8: thing that we somehow believe that the police should be
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 8: responsible for this.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: Well, and at the same time, Going back to Judge
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: Blum and also, I guess, maybe Cheryl Long and her
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: attitude toward policing and how it should be engaged in.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: You have some people telling the police to kind of
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: lay off, don't you? In other words, don't bring a
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: hammer down on these juvenile criminals. And that's part of
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: the problem here. So you have it in the judicial system,
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: but you also have it, at least as a matter
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: of policy, as I understand it, from the city manager
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: relative to the instructions of the police chief.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 8: Well, there's no doubt. I mean, it's been a... a
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 8: theme that has gone on not only at city hall,
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 8: but with the juvenile court is that, listen, these are
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 8: just kids. You know, we, we can't, we can't just
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 8: take these kids and lock them up. Well, if they're
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 8: murdering people, that is the answer. Absolutely. Yes. Like I said,
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 8: I've said this before. We're not talking about a kid
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 8: that stole a candy bar from Kroger or stole a
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 8: bag of chips because they're hungry. We're talking about kids
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 8: that are driving crime. Police officers in Cincinnati are more
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 8: afraid of, of encountering a juvenile with a gun because
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 8: of their absolute recklessness than they are compared to an
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 8: adult with a gun. That's just a fact.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: Well, and come out and play. You're under 18. You
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: won't be doing any time. I guess that offspring song
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: stands true. They know it. They're not going to be
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: held accountable, which makes them more dangerous is what I'm
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: hearing from you, Ken. Without a doubt.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 8: When you don't fear consequence, the sky's the limit for
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 8: your terrible behavior. And that's what we're seeing. And Unfortunately,
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 8: like I said, now we're going to see a 16-year-old
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 8: and see if they get bound over into the adult
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 8: system where maybe they'll actually face consequences.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: Well, face consequences for a murder, of course, but I
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: think we're doing the youth a disservice with this woke
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: mentality toward treating juveniles as if they haven't done anything wrong,
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: patting them on the wrist and sending them on their way.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: You're setting them off on a lifetime of crime that way.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: There has to be accountability. They need to learn accountability.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: Maybe it'll turn their lives around earlier rather than, well,
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: ending up in big boy court on a murder charge.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 8: No, without a doubt. You know, I attended one of
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 8: these youth services programs over the summer. It's called City
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 8: Camp Children in Trauma. And they take kids that have
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 8: experienced some kind of violence in their life and they
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 8: try to show them there is another way. And at
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 8: their graduation, these kids were absolutely phenomenal to be able
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 8: to see the transition of kids that had zero discipline
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 8: to now. You know, they were walking in, you know,
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 8: carrying United States flag flags. you know, doing some honor
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 8: guard things. But one of the things that was said
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 8: by the instructor that led this was parents understand this.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 8: Kids actually crave discipline. Whether you believe it or not,
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 8: they crave discipline because when you discipline a kid and
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 8: you teach them that there's a different way, they react
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 8: to it and they understand it. And these kids that
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 8: go through this program every year are absolute proof of that.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 8: Your parents think, well, I just want to be my
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 8: kid's friend. Absolutely not. They need to have discipline. They
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 8: need to know right from wrong. They need to be
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 8: taught right from wrong. And only then will we actually
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 8: see a change in society.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: Let's bring Ken Cobra back. We'll talk about some of
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: the changes that may have already been worked into the
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: equation up on YouTube. 721-55KRC, The Talk Station. Brian Thomas
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: with FOP President Ken Cobra, representing the Cincinnati Police Department Union.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: And talking about crime and violence, we had a bunch
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: of incidents happen around UC's campus recently, notably yesterday with
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: five people arrested. We had some gunshots and people being
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: shot around the area. The university released a statement about
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: all of this, and no, they're understanding. They realize it's
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: a concern to the neighborhood, and they say they're working
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: closely with the Cincinnati Police Department and, of course, the
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: campus police department, increasing patrol presence, dealing with traffic control,
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: and also trying to manage traffic. crowd control. First off,
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: have the patrols already increased, or is this statement in
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: response to the incident yesterday or the shooting several days ago?
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, I thought that the patrols had already been increased, Ken.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 8: Absolutely. It was increased as soon as school got back
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 8: in session, primarily dealing with youth and the high school
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 8: kids that are up there. So that was already in
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 8: the works to do this. Here's the problem that we
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 8: continue to face. is there's only so many officers to
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 8: go around. I mean, we had a summer of, I mean,
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 8: we had a weekend where there were multiple events going
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 8: on all weekend where every officer working worked 12-hour shifts,
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 8: some working 16, 17, 18 hours just to be able
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 8: to try to maintain order. And that comes at a price,
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 8: and that price is unfortunately going to be cashing in
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 8: here real soon is if they don't get a handle
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 8: on these things, These officers are getting burnout and we're
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 8: seeing it already. Officers, as soon as they get 25
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 8: years on a retiring, you can't hire officers quick enough.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 8: I mean, we have a class of 56 in right now,
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 8: which is fantastic. They graduate in November between now and November,
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 8: we'll probably lose at least another 10 officers. And it
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 8: seems like every week they're coming down to the FOP
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 8: hall and going, I'm retiring. I need to sign up
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 8: for some retiree benefits. It's just officers are frustrated. They're
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 8: worn out. And they can't continue to say, we're going
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 8: to throw more on the police, more on the police,
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 8: more on the police. We come and do our jobs.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 8: They show up, they do those things, but it comes
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 8: at a cost. And that cost is, like I said,
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 8: it's getting ready to be paid here real soon.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: Well, and I understand that, but this has been an
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: outstanding concern for years now, Ken. And they keep promising
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: more recruit classes. They keep saying they're going to try
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: to do lateral hires, but apparently that's not making any
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: inroads into the shortage of officers we have. Is it
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: just that people do not want to be a Cincinnati
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: police officer or maybe a corollary, a campus police officer?
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 8: Well, yeah, I mean, you see what goes on in
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 8: the news and it's like, why would I want to
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 8: subject myself to this? You know, like, so we're fortunate
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 8: that we have a class of 56 and now, um,
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 8: and you know, they're, they're still doing recruiting, but we had,
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 8: we had eight laterals that came here. Um, and I
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 8: think we have five left three within, within weeks of
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 8: getting on the streets. Like, man, this isn't for me. Um,
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 8: and I, and I quite honestly, I could understand why,
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 8: you know, if you're working out in a township, um,
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 8: we'll say, you know, Westchester, uh, or one of these
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 8: townships that enjoy relatively low crime, high support from their administration,
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 8: it would be very difficult to leave a place like that,
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 8: come here, where every day you are dealing with just
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 8: absolute nonsense. And like I said, that all comes at
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 8: a cost, especially if you've already experienced what it's like
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 8: outside of the city.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: Well, one more, and since you mentioned, real quick here,
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: As we part company, before we part company, your response
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: or your perception of Mayor Aftab Parval, he seems to
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: be nowhere to be found after one of these incidents.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: And I viewed it when I was talking to Christopher
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: Smitheman yesterday as an ideal opportunity. Look, we had a
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: four-year-old that got shot in a crossfire of some gang
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: violence or whatever. Shouldn't the mayor use that opportunity to
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: rally the citizens to help out the police and support
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: the police and help deal with the problems in their neighborhood?
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: He never goes down that road.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 8: I mean, you would think so. But unfortunately, this has
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 8: been a common theme that we just won't even talk
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 8: about it. We'll just pretend like it didn't happen and
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 8: maybe it'll go away. And that's frustrating. I think all
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 8: the public really wants to know is that we have
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 8: a leader of this city that's willing to go acknowledge,
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 8: first of all, just acknowledge what's going on. And don't
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 8: expect them to have every answer, but acknowledge what's going
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 8: on and go, listen, we're going to work to figure
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 8: out how we're going to solve this. Nobody expects everybody
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 8: to have all of the answers, but I think burying
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 8: your head in the sand and pretending like it's not
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 8: going is even more of a detriment than standing up
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 8: and saying, look, we recognize that this is terrible. Let's
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 8: find a solution.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: Ken Kober, I wish you all the best in your
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: role as FOP president. We all here on the 55
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: KRC Morning Show, my listening audience, support everything the Cincinnati
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: Police Department is doing and does for the community, and
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: we wish you all the best and safety and health
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: to each and every one of you. God bless you,
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: and thanks for sticking it out, man. 7.30 on a Tuesday,
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: a happy one to you. It's that time of week.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: We get to hear from WeThePeopleConvention.org's Tom Zawistowski. You can
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: find him online. Go to WeThePeopleConvention.org. Check out his weekly podcast,
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: the articles he posts. You might want to bookmark it
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: while you're there. Tom, welcome back to the morning show,
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: my friend. Good to see and talk with you again.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 6: Brian, it's great to be with you, but I have
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 6: to just jump in on your last segment. I mean,
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 6: it's heartbreaking to hear. This frustration. It's not like we
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 6: don't know how to fix this, Brian. We just don't.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 6: What the hell? When you talked about the mayor and
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 6: kids are getting killed and they're nowhere to be found.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 6: I mean, Trump brought the National Guard into D.C. and
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 6: it's done. They aren't killing people anymore. if I'm mayor,
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 6: if you're mayor, if Joe is mayor and you're killing
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 6: our children, I'm, I'm calling the national guard. I'll do
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 6: whatever it takes. I'm doing curfews. I'm shutting it down. How,
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 6: what is wrong with us? We have met the enemy.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 6: It is us because this stuff can be fixed. He
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 6: just explained how to fix it. We're not doing it.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 6: What the heck?
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: Well, Maybe, Tom, this is a little insight and a
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: window into phase one of getting rid of policing and
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: ending prisons. It's a DSA platform principle. We know the
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: administration in downtown Cincinnati is as far left as they come.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: Cheryl Long, Mayor Aftab Purval. I know the police feel
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: hamstrung because they're told how to police and what to
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: police and what not to. But our juvenile court system
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: is screwed up with Judge Bloom just smacking kids on
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: the wrist and letting them go after crime, after crime,
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: after crime. this is what the future looks like, Tom.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: When you start not holding people accountable for their crimes,
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: you end up having an increase in crime. That just
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: makes perfect sense to me, Tom.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 6: So it's a plan.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: It is a plan.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 6: It's a plan to destroy our culture.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: Tom, it is not my policy platform. I'm just suggesting,
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: you know, in a world where they say there won't
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: be any police in prisons, It's the first question people ask.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: What are you going to do with rapists? What are
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: you going to do with murderers? What are you going
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: to do with the, oh, I don't know, maybe a
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: 15-year-old kid who kills someone? Maybe you just treat them
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: with kid gloves and you let them go. That seems
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: to me to be what is going on in the city.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: What other conclusion can one draw?
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 6: And so we as citizens need to finally realize that
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 6: this is going to affect you. They're not just going
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 6: to be killing people in downtown Cincinnati, okay? When you
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 6: look at the DSA platform and you look at what
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 6: they're talking about, they're coming for you. Everyone listening to
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 6: this show, they're going to take everything you've got. That
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 6: IRA you've built up over your life, that's going to
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 6: be gone because you know that's not fair. And you're
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 6: living in a house that's too big. There's only two
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 6: of you living in a 1,600 square foot house. We
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 6: got to move another family in with you. Folks, this
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 6: is an existential threat. They're not kidding. They're actually doing it.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 6: They're killing our children. And we better wake the hell up.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 6: And as I say in the flyer I've sent to
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 6: you guys, you know, my policy is vote in your
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 6: own personal interest. And what does that mean? Vote for
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 6: every Republican with a pulse. to stop the dangerous Democrat
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 6: commies from destroying your life. That's the option you've got.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 6: I don't care whether you like the Republicans, whether you
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 6: have a problem with the past, you hate the data
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 6: center thing. Just say, shut up. It's a threat to
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 6: your very well-being, your future, your economic prosperity, your freedom,
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 6: your liberty. We're fighting communism. And right now, we're letting
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 6: them win. They're not winning. We're not fighting them. We're
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 6: letting them win.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: We are. And, you know, I talked about this insane
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: Hassan Piker, social media influences out there and all the
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: things he said. And so many Democrats won't even distance
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: themselves from this anti-Semitic, horrific human being. They can't do it, Tom.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: That's how bad... They have to.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 6: They have... You know, it's funny. I'll share this with you.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 6: So the Weed People Convention has successfully, since 16th and 20th,
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 6: have done a thing called barn billboards. Because, guess what?
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 6: The Lamars of the world, the big billboard companies, would
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 6: not sell us billboards to promote Trump's election. So I
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 6: came up with this idea of getting farmers to put
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 6: giant signs on their barns along interstates. And it was
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 6: very successful. So I'm trying to design a barn billboard
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 6: for this election along the themes we're talking. Here's my problem.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 6: We're saying, don't vote for the democratic socialists. Don't vote
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 6: for the democratic communists, the Marxists who would destroy your life.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 6: Young people don't know what a communist is. It's not
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 6: a pejorative. If you call them a Marxist, they go,
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 6: what is that? If you go, stop the communists, I'm 70.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 6: You guys are older. You know what that means. You
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 6: know what? No one under 50 knows what that means.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 6: So we're trying to design a billboard, and we can't
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 6: find the right words to explain to people the horror
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 6: they're about to bring to us.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: And just go to New York City and see Mom Dommy,
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: the mayor there, double down on all the things we're
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: talking about and engage in efforts to eliminate private property.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: Another key to communism, no private property. State ownership of
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: the means of production. That means they own businesses. They
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: own industry. They're the ones that will decide whether or
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: not you get a job. They'll also decide how much
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: you make and what's fair and what's not fair. And
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: then parlay that over, pivot over to the area of medicine.
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: Will you get your procedure with socialized medicine? Tom, there's
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: a good question. Rhetorical, it is. Don't go away, Tom.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: We've got a lot more to talk about. WeThePeopleConvention.org. First,
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: call Andrew Cullen of the team at Cullen Electric. Family
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: owned and operated since 1999. They've got a great reputation. 740-55-KRC,
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: the talk station. Happy Tuesday. Brian Thomas with Thomas Zawistowski
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: from wethepeopleconvention.org. You know, Tom, your point about them, young people,
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: and I guess it depends on what your definition of
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: young is, though. Probably at least a couple of generations
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: where the folks don't even know the difference between capitalism, communism, socialism, Marxism,
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: and fascism. Obviously a failure of our education system. This
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 1: is one of the things that was rather interesting about
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: Fidel Castro's Cuba. After the revolution, what did he do?
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: He incorporated his ideology and the revolution. into the education system.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: And every single year, they spent heaps and heaps of
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: time talking about the revolution and what it meant, how
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: they overthrew the evil Batista regime. And no child has
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: ever lost sight of that. Maybe one of the reasons
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: they're still in power these days. In spite of the
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 1: failures of that economic system, We have failed to instill
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: in our children the appreciation for our American Revolution and
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: the fight for freedom, the point of why we have
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: a Fourth Amendment, the point of why there's no quartering
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: of troops, all the reasons why there's a First Amendment
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: right for free speech, free exercise of religion. They lived
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: under the thumb of oppression. Our children have lost sight
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: of the realities of what led to the revolution here,
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: and now they're embracing the exact concepts that we fought
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: to unchain ourselves from, Tom.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's why it was great to do the story
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 6: last week about Florida teaching, having schools teach about communism,
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 6: that Ron DeSantis is leading that. You know, listen, in
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 6: the earlier segment, we talked about this has been a plan.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 6: The plan has been to destroy the United States through
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 6: every means possible. They took the schools away from the parents, right?
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 6: They made the unions all powerful. And the goal of
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 6: the unions and, you know, The Weinberger, the head of
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 6: the Teachers Association, will tell you, our goal is to
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 6: indoctrinate your kids to hate America. That's exactly what they're doing.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 6: The problem is we let them. And so I've been
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 6: talking to a lot of our Tea Party people around
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 6: the state this week because, you know, we're really seeing
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 6: that we're not making a lot of progress and things
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 6: haven't changed. And it really comes down to this. It's
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 6: not like the Democrat socialists are going to impose socialism
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 6: on us. We're already there.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 6: We are a socialist country. Our sports, our medicine, our entertainment,
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 6: our schools, our government. It's socialist. And I have an
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 6: article on our website because you said, what is the
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 6: goal of socialists? Well, to own the property. So you
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 6: and I talked on your show when the $ 40 trillion
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 6: debt came out. You and I talked and I was
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 6: all upset, $ 40 trillion of debt. We need to cut spending.
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 6: This is a problem. About a week later, this guy
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 6: comes up with this story that says, is the debt
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 6: really that important when we have so many assets? And
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 6: I'm thinking, well, that's interesting. How many assets do we have?
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 6: Guess what? The government already owns all the land. that
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 6: they don't share with us, that we have a $ 40
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 6: trillion national debt. You know what our assets are? We
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 6: have a $ 700 trillion net assets. Every freaking American of
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 6: the 343 million of us have a net value of
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 6: $ 2 million that we can't access because they don't want
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 6: us to, because they want to own everything. So it's
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 6: not like it's coming. It's already here. And Trump is
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 6: fighting to get it back. And that's what this is
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 6: really all about. This article, the statistics are stunning.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: No question about it. And that's one of the things
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: about federal land, you know, the left environmentalists and all
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: these crazies. You can't spoil federal land. You can't do this.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: You can't do that. Ever expanding, you know, real estate portfolio,
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: the federal government has. What are they holding onto the
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: land for, Tom? It was in private hands. It will
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: be exploited to the benefit of everybody, including the owners
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: in America. But you've got Trump at least making an
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: inroad as of, I believe, yesterday. I heard reporting on it.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: He's going to allow the ranchers to start letting their
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: cattle graze on federal land. What harm can possibly come
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: from that, and how come they were prohibited from doing
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: it anyway? It was a Democrat plan. Don't let the
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: private farmers graze their cattle on federal land. Make life
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: more miserable for them.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so here's a headline from 2005. House Natural Resources
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 6: Democrats reject Republican scorched earth plan to sacrifice, Brian, our
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 6: public lands, water and wildlife for billionaire tax cuts. Isn't
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 6: that your socialist mantra? How about this one? Inside Trump's
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 6: plan to sell out America's public lands to mining. This
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 6: is what you're talking about. They're intentionally handicapping. We got
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 6: a $ 40 trillion debt. You could lease a portion of
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 6: the federal lands in the West and pay it off
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 6: in one year. One year. We don't own $ 40 trillion.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 6: Shut up. We live in a doggone matrix. I've heard
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 6: you talk about it. I talk about it. Nothing they
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 6: tell us is true. We've got, you can fix the
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 6: police in Cincinnati. You can stop the murders. We can
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 6: fix the schools. The problem is we just don't want
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 6: to do it.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, going back to the edge point on education,
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: we don't want to do it. We don't even want
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: to raise our own children. When someone starts talking about
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: pre-K education and everybody stands up and goes, yeah, that's great.
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 1: That just means that taxpayers are paying for babysitters and
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: parents are relinquishing all responsibility for their children's education.
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 6: But see, in this article, he talks about the fact
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 6: that because our government does not allow us access to
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 6: our assets, we're paying these huge interest rates. It says
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 6: in this article, we shouldn't be paying 10% interest on
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 6: a car loan or 6% on a mortgage. Our assets,
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 6: we should pay 1%. And so the reason pre-K is
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 6: such a good idea is because they're working us to
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 6: death to just keep paying the taxes for them to spend.
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: Exactly. Hit the nail on the head as you always do,
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: Tom Zalasowski, wethepeopleconvention.org. Tom, don't go away. Let us find
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: out what happens when we do give up the responsibilities
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: for ourselves and place the keys of all of life's
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: issues and challenges in the hands of government. Will they
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: Will they do good by us? Will they do well
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: by us? Or will they let us down? I have
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 1: a point on the latter because I think it is
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: the latter is what ultimately happens. Talk station. 750 here,
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: 55 care city talk station. Brian Thomas with Tom Zawistowski
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: from wethepeopleconvention.org. Okay, for all those who want to put
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: the hands of life or the keys of their life
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: in the hands of the government, Tom Zawistowski, because they're
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: in a better position to take care of us. As
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: the general DSA platform suggests, everything in the hands of
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: government How about this one, Tom? How well does that
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: work out? There are 71 million people in the United
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: States who rely on Social Security benefits. And it was
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 1: 1975 where the first formal official recognition that the Social
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 1: Security program was financially unsustainable. I've been hearing this my
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 1: entire life. Every year, the trajectory on when it's going
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 1: to be unsustainable is released. And every year that they
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: talk about this, it's closer and closer in time. Calendar
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: year 2032 is the most recent figure where our current
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: recipients are going to have $ 500 a month cut from
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: their benefits because our idiots, our elected officials of both
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 1: political stripes or all political stripes, I might interject, refuse
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: to do anything because they can't. It's the third rail
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: of politics, Tom, so we can't touch it. What in
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: God's name? This is what you get. Incompetence. And they
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: let you down.
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 6: Well, see, here's the deal. Again, They can't. Bullcrap. Yes,
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 6: you can. If you go to the story that I'm
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 6: talking about on my webpage, there's a link to another
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 6: story where I talk about the assets. And there's a
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 6: Howard Lutnick video that talks about Trump's plan to use
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 6: all of our assets to benefit Americans. Listen, Social Security
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 6: is not going bankrupt. We just talked about the fact
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 6: that you could pay off the $ 40 trillion total debt
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 6: if you just leased some of the land out West.
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 6: So why don't they do that with Social Security? Because
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 6: they don't want to. Because they're trying to control us.
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 6: This is the problem. They don't work for us. They're
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 6: not using their brains. Brian, you and Joe and I,
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 6: if we had these assets, and geez, our retirement was
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 6: getting cut short, maybe we'd sell some assets. You think?
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 6: Why don't they do that? Control. This is the problem.
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 6: They're controlling our elections. They're controlling our economy. They're controlling
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 6: our education. We're living in the socialist hell. They're just
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 6: now coming out and going to take it to the
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 6: new Marxist Soviet Union hell, and we've got to stop
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 6: them by electing every Republican this fall.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: Well, I echo your sentiments as I always do, Tom.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: It's just getting people off the couch and going back
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: to the biggest race of concern on my menu, although
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of them of concern, it's just
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: this gubernatorial race and how close Ramaswamy is with Amy Acton.
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: And every week, every day of every week, I keep
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: getting online and seeing posts from people who are saying,
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: you know, yesterday it was, how can anybody vote for
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: Vivek Ramaswamy? He isn't one of us. I don't even
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: know what the hell that means, Tom. I don't know
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: what it means. And then when someone said, well, will
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: you be voting for Amy Acton? The response was something
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: along the lines of, well, hell no, I wouldn't vote
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: for her. So that means someone is going to stay
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: at home and vote because Ramaswamy is not one of us.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: And I thought about that, like, I don't know what
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: that means necessarily, but what is one of us in
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: the sense that the Republican Party, there are Tea Party
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 1: people in the Republican Party, there are Freedom Caucus people
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: in the Republican Party, and there are also rhinos and warmongers.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: And there's a whole host of people of a broad
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: political spectrum on one side of the political ledger. Then
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: you go to the Democrat side, you got Chuckie Schumer,
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: who comes across these days as a moderate, believe it
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: or not, all the way over to, you know, Al
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: Sayed and the Democratic Socialists of America, like AOC. One
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: of us? What is one of us? They say they
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 1: got a big tent. Apparently the Republicans do. So why
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: doesn't Ramaswamy fit in the big tent? Tom?
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 6: So here's the bottom line, folks. Who cares if he's
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 6: one of us? It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 6: you think about John Husted. It's real simple. They're going
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 6: to destroy our government. They want to get rid of
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 6: the presidency, the Senate. They want to make Puerto Rico
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 6: and D.C. a state. They want to rule over you.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 6: They're going to hurt you. The reason you got to
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 6: vote is because you're scared to death. Be afraid. Be
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 6: very afraid. And then get the hell out and do
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 6: not vote for any Democrat, for dog catcher, for whatever. Brian,
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 6: here's the dirty little secret. The moderate Democrats will say, well,
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 6: I don't agree with DSA and all that. Look at
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 6: what's going on. There was a Democratic House member who said,
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 6: he was a Jewish guy, who said he wasn't going
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 6: to vote for something until they attacked his family, and
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 6: then he voted. I got news for you. If they
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 6: get a foothold at all in the House and they
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 6: win the House, Every Democrat from Amelia Sykes to Lansman
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 6: to all these other guys are going to vote with
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 6: the DSA because they're afraid. That's what Marxism does. It's
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 6: at the point of a freaking gun. Your job, all
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 6: your listeners, is to vote and take the gun out
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 6: of their damn hands.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: Amen. We'll just leave it at that. Tom Zawistowski, WeThePeopleConvention.org.
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: Check him out. Bookmark the site and tune in to
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: the 55KRC Morning Show every Tuesday. Neil, I was just
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: going over the statistics on Sean W. 's announcement yesterday.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 1: It's a subject matter you wanted to talk about since
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: you are a Breitbart News immigration expert. I wrote the
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: articles you wrote on this. So we have two different categories.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: We have schools that are shut down because they didn't
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: follow through with the federal mandate that anybody who graduates
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 1: with a commercial driver's license must speak English. And then
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: we have the other category of driving schools that were
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 1: effectively like the leering centers in Minneapolis. They didn't have
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 1: even space to park a truck, let around, teach people
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: how to drive trucks, nor do they have classroom space.
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 1: So they were basically perpetrating fraud in the American people.
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 1: Your take on all this, Neil?
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 4: Humans are rational, self-serving actors. Of course this was going
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 4: to happen in the prior administrations. should have known, probably
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 4: did know, and probably didn't care. So at Breitbart I
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 4: write a lot about migration and the important thing is
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 4: not the details, it's that government doesn't care. The prior
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 4: administration deliberately went out of their way to import as
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 4: many people as they could, to stuff them into as
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 4: many jobs in every corner of the economy as they could.
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 4: And so the detailed questions of how does this work,
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 4: what's the proper way to do it, what's the safe
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 4: way to do it, were simply unimportant to the prior administration.
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 4: The information, as they investigate more, they'll discover more bad stuff.
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 1: Well, each and every day, Neil, we're discovering more bad stuff,
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 1: connection with the illegal immigrant population. You know, And I'll
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: be the first person to scream out loud at someone
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 1: who's going, you're a racist, you're a racist. Neil, you
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: know this as well as I do. This has nothing
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: to do with the racial background of any person who
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 1: came into our country legally or illegally. It is the
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: criminal subset of the broader category of people that we're
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 1: talking about here, people who would rip us off. And
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: I can't abide that from anyone at all, white, black, Hispanic, Somalian, Haitian.
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. I'm not condemning all of the classes
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 1: of people. I'm condemning the criminal element, the subset of
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 1: anyone in here. And here we can condemn U.S. companies
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: who are taking advantage of American taxpayers by, well, cheating
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 1: the system, promising things through various government programs and not
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 1: doing a damn thing, just picking up paychecks.
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 4: It's much worse than that. So this is about incentives.
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 4: The federal government set up a system where trucking companies
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 4: were under intense pressure to cheat or go bankrupt. If
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 4: your neighboring firm suddenly has a supply of Indian asylum
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 4: seekers or Mexican refugees who will drive across the country
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 4: in groups of two or three, never stopping for even
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 4: a toilet break, they're going to get an advantage over you.
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 4: You're going to fire your workers or you're going to
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 4: go bankrupt. The government deliberately messed up the basic labor
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 4: market and economic system because it wanted to import as
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 4: many migrants as possible. This was a malevolent, reckless policy.
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 4: It affected law-abiding companies and fly-by-night companies. It's astounding that
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 4: it happened and that they got away with it.
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: Well, would you, Neil, say that this is a corollary
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 1: or a just sort of something that naturally occurred, these
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: commercial driver's licenses going to illegal immigrants and impacting our
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: workforce intentionally for that purpose. In other words, to benefit
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 1: corporate America who hires the truck drivers, they get a
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: benefit that they don't have to comply with sleep obligations,
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: rest stops, well, even English language requirements. And, of course,
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 1: one can presume, and many people have, that they work
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: for less money because of their illegal status. Or is
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: this a subset of the broader concern that the Democrats
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: were all about opening the borders just sort of to
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 1: substitute the American population and the American way of life?
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: Is it one or both, or is it a combination
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 1: of both, Neil?
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 4: Oh, Washington's big enough for it to be both. And
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 4: here's the way it works. There's many ways it works.
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 4: They sent a guy to India to be an ambassador, okay? So,
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 4: This guy has every incentive to get along well with
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 4: the Indian government, to make things run smoothly, because he's
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 4: thinking as soon as my gig is up, I want
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 4: to be in tight with India and foreign policy. And
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 4: so what does he do? He allows a large number
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 4: of Indians to fly to America to ask for asylum.
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 4: And once they ask for asylum, they get drive, they
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 4: get work permits. And so we have tens of thousands
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 4: of Sikhs driving across the country. This is a big
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 4: thing for India. It means there are towns in India
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 4: where they're getting money on dreamed of amounts of dollars
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 4: from low-wage truckers driving across the country. If we suddenly say,
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, we're going to close down this loophole of
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 4: Sikh drivers driving across the country. Then the Indian government
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 4: will get mad because it has an economic policy of
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 4: sending people to America. The Democrats, they all know this.
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 4: And part of the way they talked about this was
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 4: the chief, Biden's chief border guy, who's responsible for all
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 4: of this. He said, look, we want a Canadian-style immigration
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 4: system where companies have all the workers they possibly want.
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 4: of course you're going to wreck the entire system. I mean,
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 4: when you're inviting poor people, rational, desperate, hardworking poor people
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 4: from around the world to get on the U.S. freeways
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 4: so they can earn, by their standards, a fortune of
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 4: a dollar an hour, of course it's going to happen.
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 4: To stop this kind of thing, to stop the pressure,
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 4: to stop.
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 4: To protect the U.S. labor market, you have to be
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 4: very aggressive. You have to be very determined because there's
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 4: just such a massive incentive for poor, hardworking people to
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 4: sneak into the United States and work from.
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 1: Well, as to this, your comment about the Sikh population
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: and the Indian government getting involved in criticizing and complaining
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 1: to the American government about cracking down on and enforcing
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 1: our own laws on the books. Neil Munro, Breitbart immigration expert,
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 1: are you telling me the volume of illegal immigrants from
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 1: the Sikh community is so large that the Indian government
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 1: would recognize the financial impact of us cracking down and
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 1: enforcing our own laws?
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 4: Well, yes, because local families and local politicians complain. So
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 4: a couple of months ago when a Sikh driver killed
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 4: a couple of people in America, it was an issue
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 4: in India because of local politics in Gujarat. Thousands of
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 4: families were worried their Sikh driver son was going to
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 4: get arrested and deported. But even then, the Sikh drivers
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 4: is only a drop in the ocean. For India, they
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 4: have a massive population of over a billion people. They
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 4: are doing their best to get as many people out
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 4: of India into the United States, whether as doctors, hotel clerks.
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 4: software people, accountants, you name it, because they want to
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 4: grow their economy by hooking up India's labor market to
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 4: the U.S.
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 2: Economy.
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 4: So far, they've got six million people in the United States.
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 4: And so in all of this, within this Indian strategy,
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 4: any perturbance, any effect, any problem caused by American pushback
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 4: becomes a top concern for the Indian government. And so
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 4: it's a high priority of the Indian government to try
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 4: and reduce the public backlash to these dangerous truckers. And
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 4: as part of this, for Duffy and Mark Wayne Mullen
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 4: to come out and say, This has killed 239 Americans.
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 4: We're shutting down hundreds of schools. We're going to stop this.
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 4: We're taking 30,000 drivers out of service, etc. What they're
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 4: doing is generating political pressure from India. Last night, well, basically,
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 4: we can see the Indian lobbyists floating around Washington, looking,
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 4: trying to calm the migration situation. Look, in politics, the
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 4: knee bone is connected, the thigh bone is connected, the
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 4: arm bone, whatever. It's all connected. And the fact that
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 4: the administration is fighting back on the drivers is a
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 4: good thing. It's like Washington rarely does sort of things
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 4: that make you smile and say, you know, that's a
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 4: good thing. Wow. But amid all the furor and the
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 4: rushing and the crashing, They are doing some good things.
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 4: They fixed the border. They're working on the trucking issue.
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 4: They're dealing with other aspects of migration.
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 1: Well, and also creating job opportunities for Americans in the
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 1: trucking business. I saw this quote from Brad Delka, who's
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 1: the financial officer for J.B. Hunt Transport Services, a large
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 1: trucking company. They have reached out to all types of
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 1: folks to increase and recruit drivers here in the United States,
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 1: stepping up efforts for driver recruitment and offering higher wages
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 1: to Americans who have passed their commercial driving test and
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 1: know how to speak English. That's a positive development for
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 1: people who want to make a decent living driving a truck,
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 1: is it not?
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 4: That's what government is for, to enforce law and order. And,
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 4: you know, the trucking industry is I sit in his
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 4: chair writing articles and I remember them saying, oh, there's
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 4: a shortage of drivers. We need to allow 17 year
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 4: olds to drive trucks. So you can't trust anyone in
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 4: this business. But what you want to see is the
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 4: trucking companies complaining. You want them to say, oh, we
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 4: don't have enough truckers. Oh, we're in terrible trouble. Because
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 4: if they're complaining, then it's more likely they're going to
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 4: do the obvious. Hire Americans, train them for truckers. And
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 4: that's not just it. The foreign truckers create chaos in
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 4: the day-to-day trucking business. Not just the accidents, but they undercut.
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of cargo theft. I mean, there's just
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 4: a lot of cargo theft because The buyers and centers
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 4: don't know who is who anymore. A while ago, under
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 4: administration pressure, the Supreme Court said the brokers who hire
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 4: freelance truckers to move goods from A to B are
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 4: financially responsible when those truckers do stupid stuff.
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 4: Accidents.
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 1: The civil tort system in the United States of America.
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 1: That's a pressure to be borne down on these companies,
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 1: is it not? Neil, I hate to cut you off,
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 1: but that's an excellent point. We'll have to end on
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 1: that one since we're out of time. Breitbart News, immigration expert.
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 1: Read what he has to write. Neil Monroe, it's Breitbart.com. B-R-E-I-T-B-A-R-T.com.
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 1: Excellent stuff there. I strongly encourage you to bookmark it. Neil,
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 1: I'll look forward to having you back on the 55
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 1: KRC Morning Show real soon, my friend.
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 4: Glad to come back.
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 1: Take care. It's 822 right now. Don't go away. The
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 1: Daniel Davis Deep Dive coming up. It's Tuesday and a
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 1: very happy one to you. It's that time of week
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 1: we do the Daniel Davis Deep Dive. Retired Lieutenant Colonel
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 1: Daniel Davis joining the program to talk about basically for
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 1: the past couple of years, war and the situation between.
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 1: Of course, we'll start with the United States and Iran.
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 1: Daniel Davis, welcome back to the morning show, my friend.
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 1: Good to have you back on.
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 11: Always good to be here, but man, I wish we
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 11: could talk about sports or something instead of the.
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 1: War all the time.
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 1: Here we are. I just really am convinced that like
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: most days of late, Daniel Davis, we're not going to
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 1: end on a real optimistic note. With that in mind,
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 1: maybe you'll prove me wrong, and I hope so. I
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 1: guess I found out for the first time, maybe you
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 1: knew about this, the Iranians are able to lay mines
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 1: in the Strait of Hormuz using rockets. I guess we
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: got wind that they were getting ready to fire some
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 1: rockets in the Strait of Hormuz to plant mines there.
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 1: after the administration had previously announced that the Strait had
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 1: been cleared of mines, and I want to get your
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 1: response to that assertion, but we blew up their rocket-launching sites,
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 1: and they in turn launched rockets and missiles into Jordan
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 1: to shoot at our troops. Got a sizable presence there.
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 1: And I guess the idea now is, at least I've
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 1: read several locations, that maybe we'll just keep doing limited
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 1: strikes against the Iranians, just to keep them at bay,
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 1: and this kind of will go on I suppose the
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 1: administration's position is until the Iranians collapse economically. But as
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 1: long as the Iranians have the ability to lay any mines,
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 1: there's a big concern in the shipping community that, well,
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 1: if there's even one out there, we can't send our multi-million,
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 1: billion-dollar boats through and lose the cargo and the ships themselves,
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: which is going to keep things at a screeching halt.
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 11: Yeah, first of all, just on the capability itself, we
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 11: saw this in the Russia and Ukraine wars early on, actually.
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 11: It's called the indirect mine laying method, where you can
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 11: fire either artillery shells to lay mines or rockets, and
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 11: they will scatter mines out over an area. The warhead
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 11: will go off above the water, and the mines will
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 11: come out and follow inside there, et cetera. So that's
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 11: a distance laying mine method. So that's been around for
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 11: a while. It's not very common because people, you know,
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 11: pay attention to that kind of thing normally uh but
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 11: uh yeah in terms of the bigger issue you know
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 11: we claimed uh admiral cooper claimed that we had demined
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 11: the whole thing it was done which i raised my
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 11: eyebrows when he said it because i remember.
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 10: Uh earlier in the war the uh military had.
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 11: Said it would take probably about six months to clear
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 11: the the persian gulf of all the mines after the
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 11: war had been over and then all of a sudden
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 11: here he claims with the war still not solved it
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 11: was done And then yesterday, the timing isn't completely clear.
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 11: Either right before that issue where we struck those rockets
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 11: or right after.
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 10: It, two ships hit mines. So, obviously, it was not clear. So,
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 10: I don't know what.
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 11: To make of that, but that's what we claimed, and
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 11: yet that's what happened.
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 10: Overnight, two more tankers were hit.
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 11: Not with mines, but with projectiles of some sort, drone, missile.
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 10: We are not sure yet.
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 5: So.
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 10: The Strait is definitely not open.
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 11: In the last five days, the amount of traffic has
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 11: significantly curtailed to an average of about five ships in
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 11: and out per day, which basically means none, since there
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 11: should be somewhere around 100, 130. So, no, the problem is, Brian,
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 11: if that's our objective, to just drag this out until
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 11: the economic pain on Iran gets high enough to cause
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 11: the government to collapse, then we'll be going on like
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 11: this for years, because they can suffer much They're prepared
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 11: for this. They're mentally prepared for this. And they have
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 11: a lot of experience and suffering. But the longer that
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 11: strait stays closed, there's a reciprocal economic impact on our
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 11: side with, you know, not just the amount of oil
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 11: getting out, which is reduced, but with the other things
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 11: we've talked about, like fertilizers and helium and other kinds
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 11: of derivatives, sulfur that's necessary for other economic activity around
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 11: the world, jet fuel and diesel being used. two of
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 11: the bigger ones, we just can't do it. That's not
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 11: going to work for us. So we're going to have
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 11: to find another way out of this.
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 1: Well, I guess for those naysayers who'd say, no, no,
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 1: the Iranians are going to capitulate. They're going to collapse.
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 1: They're in terrible straits economically. And you can't deny there
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 1: are a lot of reports out there about suffering going
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 1: on in Iranians. But to your point, I think a
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 1: parallel can be drawn. Who in God's name thought that
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 1: this Russia-Ukraine war was going to be going on for
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 1: north of four years? The Ukrainian people have shown that
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 1: type of resolve in the face of the Russian might.
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 1: Great point.
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 11: Yeah, that's a great point because, I mean, by most
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 11: military expectations, I mean, number one, I mean, and I
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 11: argue this all the time and will again here, is
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 11: that the balance, military balance between Russia and Ukraine is
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 11: such that Ukraine can never win.
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 10: They can't reverse this.
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 11: But they can go on a long time as they're
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 11: showing incredible, not even resilience so much as just a
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 11: willingness and an ability to suffer. And the Iranian people,
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 11: I mean, we're talking, we're just six months into this.
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 11: And remember, again, they've been under sanctions for a long time.
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 7: 47 years.
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 11: They went through a war, eight-year-long war, where they were
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 11: suffering massive numbers of casualties and the economic sanctions.
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 10: They know how to do this. They've got the playbook.
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 11: So if we think that this is going to bring
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 11: them to their knees quickly, I think we might need
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 11: a new idea.
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 1: Well, and I'd be remiss if I didn't point out
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 1: quickly that Afghanistan is a similar situation, a country where
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 1: we had boots on the ground. We were there for
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 1: 20 years on the heels of the Russians being there for, what, 10?
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 1: And guess who's still there?
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 5: That's a fact.
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 1: And guess who's not there?
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's a lesson that needs to be learned,
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 1: I think, Daniel. But the— But the broader problem with
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 1: the Iranians never seems to go away. I mean, nobody
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 1: in my listening audience embraces the Iranians. They don't like
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 1: their political philosophies. They don't like the way they treat women,
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 1: the religious fundamentals. We can go on and on and on.
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 1: The fact that they support terrorist organizations who are regularly
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 1: blowing up things, and us included, there doesn't seem to
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 1: be any solution to this, Daniel Davis?
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 5: No.
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 1: Thought one up that is plausible even?
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 10: Well, here's the thing.
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 11: We have made this an existential fight for Iranian regime
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 11: and the Iranian people. And by the way, we have
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 11: coalesced around there as So there is, and I had
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 11: from a source yesterday told me there's around 20 million
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 11: hardcore supporters.
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 10: Of the Iranian regime.
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 11: That's a country of 95 million. So the rest are
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 11: somewhere in between. They just don't like war. But there's
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 11: about 20 million that are hardcore supporters. And believe me,
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 11: with all this stuff we're doing, they don't take this as, oh,
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 11: we should turn against our regime because they caused America
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 11: to come in. No, they see America and Israel attacking them,
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 11: and they don't care about the reasons. All they know
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 11: is that they're being imposed, and all of these hardships
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 11: are on our side, so they're going to continue to resist,
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 11: and they're not going to give in, and they're not
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 11: going to give in with their flexibility and their leverage
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 11: in that Strait of Hormuz or the Bab al-Bandab with
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 11: the Houthis, etc., So we're going to have to do
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 11: something different if we want a different outcome, because you
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 11: can't militarily bring them to their knees. You can try
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 11: and dragging this out economically, but we've tried that in
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 11: countries all over the world, and it takes years to do, man.
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 11: You can't get this done in the near term. And again,
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 11: unlike the Afghanistan, unlike even Vietnam or the Iraq war,
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 11: this has a direct economic impact on us that didn't
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 11: happen before. So the dynamics are different and too few
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 11: people are recognizing that difficulty. We're going to have to
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 11: do something we don't want to, Brian, and we're going
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 11: to have to make a deal or we're going to
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 11: get hurt bad.
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 1: Well, the fact that it affects the global economy so profoundly,
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 1: maybe less for the United States, but more so for
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 1: the NATO countries, European Union, um, It's got a geopolitical impact.
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 1: The United States is not real high on people's happiness
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 1: list considering we started this conflict with the Iranians. So
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 1: I think the globe seems to be looking at us
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 1: to blame for the economic repercussions as opposed to the Iranians.
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 11: And there's an additional factor you have to roll in
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 11: on top of that too. And believe me, these conversations
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 11: are happening around the world right now among our friends.
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 10: And that is they're saying, hang on. Wait a minute.
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 11: I thought that having American bases in your country was
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 11: supposed to be a protection for you, was supposed to
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 11: show the presence of American forces would keep you safe.
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 11: And instead, it's been a missile magnet. And now that
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 11: wherever their base was, here comes the missiles and you
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 11: can't stop it. You can't stop the missiles on your
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 11: own base. You can't stop the missiles hitting our facilities
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 11: and our country and our energy systems, etc., people are
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 11: starting to think maybe we need to rethink hosting American bases.
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 11: And you talk about a geopolitical earthquake. I mean, that
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 11: could be profound.
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 10: Even once this war is over, there's going to be
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 10: a shift.
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 11: I promise you that is coming.
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 1: Daniel Davis doing the Daniel Davis Deep Dive. Speaking of missiles,
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 1: and I'm glad you used the M word because the
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 1: Department of War was outraged over the Washington Post release
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 1: of the Secretary of Defense Orders book. Apparently, it's a
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 1: confidential report where leaders were really concerned and articulated concerns
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 1: over our dwindling stockpiles. Now, this is something you and
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 1: I have talked about before because this isn't the first article,
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 1: the Washington Post article, that I've read, you know, officials concerned,
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 1: you know, quoted on a condition of anonymity because they're
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 1: not authorized to speak. American officials, those in the know,
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 1: are complaining to that we're running out of supplies, Daniel Davis.
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 1: We've got multibillion-dollar new contracts with Raytheon and others. Clearly,
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 1: there is a need for them. Requests from this administration
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 1: to ramp up production, to deal with the dwindling stockpiles.
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 1: Can we even, if it was determined that we need
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 1: to get boots on the ground and start launching missiles,
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 1: can we even keep up with the demand? We have
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 1: a global demand. We've got issues with, obviously, Taiwan, other
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 1: theaters of battle. We've got other threats in the world.
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 1: Can we rise to the challenge under the current situation, Daniel? No,
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 1: we can't.
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 11: And that's an alarm I keep raising, too, in both
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 11: my show and my published works.
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 10: I've been raising this.
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 1: Alarm, too.
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 11: That just helped because it showed that there's others on
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 11: the inside that are so alarmed that they're willing to
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 11: risk literal jail time by leaking this information out. because
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 11: they see all this happy talk by too many of
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 11: our leaders that, oh, no, we've got all the.
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 10: Ammunition we need. We can do whatever we want. And
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 10: they know we can't do whatever we want.
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 11: See, we went down a system years ago, like decades ago,
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 11: deciding that we're going to have this deal where we
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 11: have high expense, high dollar value missiles that are highly precise,
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 11: but that take forever.
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 6: In some cases, I'm not.
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 11: Making this up, it takes many years to make a
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 11: single missile that because of the complexity of this. It's
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 11: like basically making a small rocket, like you would go
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 11: up to the moon or something like that. And so
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 11: it takes a long time to make, and not only
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 11: the cost, but our opponents, mainly Russia and Iran, I'm
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 11: not as clear about China. I think they're in this case,
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 11: but I know these other two are. They chose a
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 11: path that there's a lot fewer, I'm sorry, a lot
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 11: less expensive manufacture, but they designed them so that they
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 11: can be produced in weeks or months. instead of years.
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 11: So they can sustain a daily rate usage. Russia has
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 11: now proven this. And the Iranians are doing the same.
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 11: And now you're adding new layers and capabilities of long-range
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 11: jet-powered drones, which are also cheaper than manned aircraft. but
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 11: a lot more capable than the previous rounds of drones.
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 11: And we're not keeping up with that. So we cannot
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 11: defend against it and we cannot have enough offensive. And
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 11: that's why we're in this case where we're in right now,
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 11: where we don't have enough to finish this one war,
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 11: but God help us if we get into more.
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 1: No question about it. And just real briefly before we
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 1: part company, Daniel Davis, uh, just this morning, 12 people
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 1: killed 21 wounded yet another wave of Russian air attacks
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 1: on Ukraine's capital Kiev. Um, Illustrating the power of these drones,
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 1: and that's something that the Ukrainians have seemed to have mastered,
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 1: these jet-powered drones. Man, they are reaching the interior of
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 1: Russia and hitting them hard with their oil and gas infrastructure, retail.
• 2:04:10
  Speaker 1: They're blowing up their version of Amazon. Any brief update
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 1: or situation analysis from that conflict? Daniel Davis.
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 11: Yeah, Ukraine can't get into a tit-for-tat with that. They
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 11: can't compete with Russia because as many as are getting
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 11: through there, they're firing a massive number. They're actually firing
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 11: in the last week or so more per day into
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 11: Russia than Russia has fired into Ukraine. They can't keep
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 11: up that pace, but fewer of them strike. And every
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 11: time they hit one of those wild berries or some
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 11: of these other Amazon-type wildberries, Russia will take out five
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 11: or six on the other side.
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 10: The math is not working for Ukraine.
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 11: We get headlines for that because we love to show
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 11: that anything bad happened to Russia, but the other headlines
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 11: for some reason aren't being showed that the return fire
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 11: is devastating Iran on the same categories.
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 1: I ask you, Iran, Ukraine. Ukraine. Daniel Davis, Deep Dive.

• 2:05:03

• 2:05:12
  Speaker 1: here's your homework assignment for next Tuesday. Figure out a
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 1: way where we can end on a positive note. Hey, man,
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 1: the NFL season is going to start pretty soon.
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 6: There you go.

• 2:05:25
  Speaker 1: And look, you and I both have a smile on
• 2:05:26
