  Speaker 1: Fifty five KRC five o five at fifty five KRC
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: the talk station, Happy Tuesday, ses.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Some vacation and that's the way the news goes.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: And very Happy Tuesday too. Brian Thomas right here, glad
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: to be looking forward to having Dave one Him from
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the Taxpayer Protection Lines joined the program. The return of
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Dave one Him. It's been a little while since we
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: talked to him. Dave shows up at seven oh five.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about waste in the Defense Authorization Act coming
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: in at nine hundred and one billion dollars. I believe, Yeah,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to hear what Dave has after his
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: analysis of that one prescription drug price fixing, higher education reform,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: and what is the Samosa Act those topics with Dave
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Williams coming up again at seven oh five. Sadly Breitbart
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: didn't get back with Joe's Dreker. We always get the
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: bright Bart inside scoop A eighto five on a Tuesday,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: So mysteries swirling around where the hell Breitbart is. If
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: you do hear from them, Joeb, you have more than
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: happy to add him late in the game. That's okay.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Daniel Davis deep dive that takes place at a thirty.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Retired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis joins the program talk about well,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: probably war and I thought it was rather interesting in
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: so far as that is concerned the security guarantee. Apparently
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: US officials said yesterday they've developed a peace deal and
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: the conflict between Ukraine and Russia that would provide Ukraine
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: with security guarantees similar to those outlined in Article five
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: of an ATO treaties, specifically that we would provide a
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: defense in the event, for example, Russia attacks Ukraine. Now
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: they wouldn't members of ATO, And I'm just trying to wonder,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: you know, that's what Zelunsky has always wanted to want
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: to be part of NATO. So that's kind of seems
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: to be off the table because Russians are saying absolutely
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: no dice on that. It's a deal breaker, So we
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: won't enter into a piece a negotiation that evolves Ukraine
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: joining NATO. So okay, but what is the value of
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: NATO if we're not Article five, which provides a defense
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: obligation for the rest of the NATO countries to come
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: to the eight of Ukraine still a non NATO country.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: H Article five stipulates an attack against one member of
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the group is considered an attack against them all. Ukraine
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: again not a member, so I don't know how that
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: would work. So maybe Daniel Davis can come to the
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: rescue on that one. And I saw another article. Don't
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: need to get into all the details of it. Europe
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: telling people to prepare for war apparently now regularly broadcasting
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: messages of well, a conflict with Russia. I'm talking about
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: widely circulating reports from elected officials, Chairman, Chancellor Fridrick Mertz
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and all. You know, you go on and on and
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: on and on. They're all talking about Russia and an
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: invasion strategy. So you know, first Domino to fall is
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: going to be Ukraine, then it's off to Poland. You know,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: it's reminiscent of Hitler in nineteen thirty eight. So and
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: they're all up in arms over that, and I call
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: me skeptical jaden cinecal. They also the European Union has
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: also stepped up there spending on defense, since they haven't
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: been paying for their own defense since post World War Two.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: That's been our obligation apparently, so as Trump tells them, dude,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: you got to defend yourself. And that's been a mantra
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: from Trump for quite some time. Now they're stepping up
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: to the plate. How long is it going to take
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: them to replenish their military hardware and replenish their armies
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: conscription now all the rage in Europe, so plenty to
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: talk about, Daniel Davis coming up. I don't know if
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: that defense obligation is a good idea or not. But then,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: you know, I keep going back to how long has
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: it taken Russia over to overrun Ukraine? And they've been
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: at the school. It's like three years now. Ukraine's been
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: defending itself now, granted with the assistance of a lot
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: of American military hardware in other countries, military hardware probably
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: purchased from America first, but their arsenal is going to
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: supply the Ukrainian forces. Russia keeps going at it. You'd thought,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: given the size of Ukraine and the massive superiority of
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: the Russian army and their hardware, that they would have
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: rolled right over Ukraine in virtually no time. So Ukraine
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: one country, what about the rest of NATO countries? You know,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: in a larger concern swirling of the background, and I
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: saw the statistic there are very I mean The percentage
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: of people in Europe who are willing to defend their
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: own country is kind of small, and it's a growing
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: trend here in the United States of America. I mean,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: if you only have forty percent of your country that's
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: willing to bear arms in defense of the country, I
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: think that's statistic from the United States. Less than that
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: in Europe, you've got a real problem on your hands.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Are you not willing to defend your country's borders? Have
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: we entered into the world of borderless society, which all
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: of our globalist friends in the world have been striving
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: for now, for decades and decades. Is that part of
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: what this great population shift is all about, bringing in
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: people from the four corners of the globe to overrun
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: the Western civilization with their version of culture. And you
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: look around yourself. If you're a let's say you're a
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: devout Western European. Let's say French. I got a friend
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: of France, French citizenship, married to French grow a long
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: long time ago, good guy, but he considers themself French.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: They have an identity, they have a culture. You can
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: see it, you've heard about it.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: If you want to defend that culture, and your country
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: has been overrun by a massive, massive influx of folks
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: who have no connection with that culture whatsoever. You kind
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: of throw your hands up at the whole idea of
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: defending your country. If push comes to shove and you're
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: asked to bear arms in defense of the country as
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: your country let you down, is it worth defending?
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: You?
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: Know?
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: These are legitimate questions to ask, and I think broad
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: of a part of a broader problem called a conspiracy
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: theory if you want. But I've talked many, many, many
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: years over this whole division things during the pot of
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: division and causing us, most notably facilitated by social media,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: to fight amongst ourselves over the dumbest and smallest of
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: points dividing us. This is what has been going on
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: for a long time. It doesn't take an analyst to
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: see it. Just step back from what you've been absorbing
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: for the last five ten years and then ask yourself,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: are you willing to defend your country? Are you willing
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: to defend New York City that has now gone full
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: on socialist slash communists with their choice of elected officials.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you ask me to keep them bear
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: arms to defend socialism or communism. I don't think that
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I would, right, So what is it that we would
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: be defending. It's a good question, and it's a concerning
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: question to ask. So a little bit of that with
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Daniel Davis coming up a little bit later, and a
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: tear that I have been on, as you well know,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: about fraud, waste and abuse and government here, get a
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: load of this from the Washington Times. You want to
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: worry about it, like the the Biden parole programs is
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the focus of this one. We could go on and
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: on and on. We have more fraud, wasted abuses being exposed,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: and the stupidity of how they ran these programs intentionally
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: perhaps that would be nefarious or stupid, just negligent, and
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: how they set the programs up. Elvis Presley was among
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the people who applied to sponsor migrant parolees under the
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Biden administration. According to the government audit the Department of
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Homeland Security, which was excoriated for how it handled the
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: now thankfully defunct parole e program, Elvis, along with more
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: than fourteen teen hundred migrants, were admitted to the United
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: States despite agency files showing that their sponsors were dead.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: This accord of the Government Accountability Office report that was
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: just release. So you're in some other country, this is
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the fly you in the United States. So you're not
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: going to be fouling up the border. You've got a
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: sponsor here. Sponsors sign up and say I'm willing to
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: take that particular person from that country. They fly them
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: in here. Well, who were these sponsors. Well, apparently our
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: government didn't really know. They didn't follow up on who
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: was applying to come into the country either. One application
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: submitted a photo of journalist Connie Chung as an identity verification.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Another use the photo of NCIS actor Cody Di Pablo.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: One other person applied to sponsor a migrant child, even
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: though he had a criminal history that included two child
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: pornography offenses. Should that have or slipped through the programs
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: view but reviewed by the GAO included one for Ukrainians,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: another for covered Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, Venezuelans. These have all
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: been canceled or suspended, but hundreds of thousands of migrants
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: were previously welcomed in under these lacks oversight, if any oversight.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: GAO and analysts described the approach to the program saying
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the Biden administration rushed to get the programs up and running,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: only later focusing on the ramp and fraud and national
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: security risk. Ang the people who had already been admitted.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: There you go. The parallel I've drawn before pointed out
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: again it's Dave Hatter's Internet of Things. They want to
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: get the device out because oh cool, and the Internet
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: of Things device. They don't give a wit about security.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: That's exactly a parallel here. It's the same damn thing.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Get that program up and running. Don't worry about the
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: people who might be abused under the program, or the
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: American taxpayer dollars who are being used to fund the programs.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Just get the masses and the throngs of humanity into
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: our country. Will worry about any aftermath later. Oh yeah,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: like plotting and coordinating bombings. Yeah, it's a couple of
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: those folks out in the mix too. Goo. Auditors talking
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: about why the Biden administrations suspended the program for Cubanations
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: and Nigaraguans and Venezuelans and the summer of twenty four Why, well,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: they didn't tell you at the time, but the auditors
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: revealed the reason. Custom and border protection as well as
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Homeland Security Apartment agency that's supposed to provide final approval
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: for migrants to enter. They looked at a sample of
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: cases from Venezuela, finding that nearly twenty percent of the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: sponsors were deemed to pose public safety or national security risks,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: some linked to ongoing investigations into drug dealing and money laundering.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: According to Agne Funds, a spokesperson for the House Judiciary Committee,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: these disasters broke programs were nothing more than a taxpayer
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: fundage chauffeurs for foreign nationals to travel to the United
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: States and take advantage of our immigration system. To make
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: matters worse, the Biden Harris administration knew about allegations of
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: human trafficking a one parole program, but created a new
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: programs anyway, Oh great. These programs apparently created alleviate pressure
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: on the Southern border. As I alluded to earlier, Homeland
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Security Secretary Alexandro Alejandro Maorcus determined to siphoning off migrants
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: to fly to the United States through airports would reduce
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: the flow of illegal immigrants overrunning the southern border. He
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: asked the migrants to arrange four sponsors in the United
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: States who had promised to help settle and financially support
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: them so they could wouldn't become a burden. Oh JO.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Investigators said the initial vetting severely lacking. Get a load
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: of this. Parole is supposed to be used only in
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: cases of urgent humanitarian needs or significant benefits to the
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: United States. That would be us the public. Is this
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: person going to benefit us? Great question to ask for
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: letting someone in? Or are they going to be a
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: burden on the welfare system? Are you dealing with an
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: urging humanitarian need? Let's check that first. Well, neither Citizenship
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: and Immigration Services, which vetted the sponsors, nor the Customs
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: in Border Protection which provided final approvals at airports, actually
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: verified whether the applicant was even eligible for parole. Great,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Oh that's fun. Citizenship and Immigration Services said it wasn't
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: its job, and Customs and Border Protections said it figured
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: that USCIS or some other agency had already done it. Hmm,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: how's that program for you. The report had these following findings.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: When the programs for the Cumanations, Nicaraguans, Venezuela and others
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: kicked off, Citizenship and Immigration Services didn't have a way
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: to collect information about the reasons people were applying for parole,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: urgent need for humanitarian relief in the United States as
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: screw that criteria, We're not going to check it. Fraud
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: investgers identify the cases of human traffickers trying to sponsor
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: migrants from Parole to Ukraine. From Ukraine, Ukraine's under crisis,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: we need to fly them on in here. Well, let's
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: get some human traffickers involved. Report confirmed reporting by the
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Washington Times that people were selling sponsorships to migrants four
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: five thousand dollars. There's your fraud profit motive. And then
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: once in the United States, prolleys were largely left on
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: their own even if the parole passes EXPIREDJO said, No
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Homeland Security Department agency tracked them and under a myorchist directive,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: they weren't considered targets for deportation. Anyway. There you go, ready,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: fire aim, screwvadding screws, fraud, wasted abuse that's going on,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: and forget about the poor children who were traffic. Let's
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: just expedite this massive humanity into the country at massive
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: taxpayer expense. Welcome to reality five nineteen right now fifty
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: five care see the talk station five point three seven
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: four nine fifty five eighty two to three talk be
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: right back after these words.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: Here's what's happening anti Semitic terror in Australia three fifty.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Five care see the talk station. I can be critical
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: of Trump, and it's appropriate to be critical of Trump.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: And I know I got a lot of always Trumper
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: folks out there. But on the heels of the Charlie
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Kirk assassination, all the vile comments that came out about
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk from the left wing, was this trip really necessary,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump? Did we learn a lesson? Why would you
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: draw attention along these lines? Ryner's death reportedly due to
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the anger he caused others through a mind crippling disease
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: known as Trump arrangements syndrome. He was known to have
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: driven people crazy by his raging obsession of President Donald Trump,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: and then later in a press conference people responding to that.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Obviously a lot of right wingers, a lot of conservatives
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: out there, including Congresson mass He had some statements about this,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: criticizing Trump for going down that road. And he wasn't
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: murdered for his political beliefs as batcrap crazy, as I
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: will agree they were, clearly they had some problems in
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: the family with their son anyway. Responding to questions about
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: the GOP pushback on that social media post and whether
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: he stands by it, he said, I wasn't a fan
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: of his at all. He was a deranged person as
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: far as Trump is concerned, which is a weird way
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: of talking about yourself, Massey's comment. Regardless of how you
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: feel about felt about Rob Reiner, this is inappropriate and
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: disrespectful discourse about a man who was just brutally murdered,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: and I challenge anyone to defend it. He said he
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: wasn't the only Republican to criticize Trump. But again, you know, fine,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know anybody to like Rob Reiner except for
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: his movies. This is the way I view music. A
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: lot of the bands I like or left wingers. I
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: can't get away from the fact I love the music.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I give him props for making, you know, writing some
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: really you know, provocative lyrics that make sense, poetry in
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: motion that I don't agree with. The message is a
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: different story, but ah, it's the same thing earth rob Ryder.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, who didn't like Princess Bride? I mean, this's
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: got and this is spinal Tap. Come on, those are
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: outstanding movies. He's got a litany of outstanding movies. I'll
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: judge his art and approve of it all day long.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I will disagree and condemn his insane leftist political ideology
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: all day long. But I can enjoy one while not
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: giving him credit and going down his road to political
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: ideology and have it, you know, change my mind. It's
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: not gonna happen. But so close to all of this
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: nonsense we dealt with him after Charlie Kirk. Isn't there
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: an internal voice that just says, you know what, don't
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: go down that road. It's not worth it. Why give
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: anyone a reason to criticize me, take the high or
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: just don't say anything at all, which is a good lesson,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: I think for a lot of us to learn. Jay's
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: on the phone, Jay, you're up next, got to kick
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: a break. It's five twenty five right now, be right.
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: Back fifty five KRC, you're one, He agrees, fify.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Five per seed he talk station.
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: A friend of mine comment on that social media post,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: See this is why I don't want to go down
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: that road. I mean, he's got to sort of defend
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: it and not defend. At the same time, he wasn't
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: happy with Trump's post. He said, but a social media
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: post commenting on how blanking stupid meathead was politically isn't
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: even close to what the left did when Kirk was assassinated.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I'll acknowledge that point, but that you've got to look
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: at the degree and argue that, well, yeah, it was
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: a dumb thing to do. And why would you bring
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: that up in the aftermath of all we did and
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: all we said about the posts about Charlie Kirk's assassination
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: and how they were giddy with excitement over it. Now
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: we're arguing about the degree. Well yeah, well it just
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: wasn't as bad. Okay, Well again I go with how
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: about not even going down that road? See what Jay's got. Jay,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: you're first. Welcome to the program, and happy Tuesday to you.
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: Hey, good morning, Brian. It's an honor to be first
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: under Brian Thomas show. Hey, I wanted to applaud you
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: again again. I was listening yesterday when he talked about
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: Mike Dewan defending Amy acton this is not normal that
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: a Republican governor who is wrapping up his dismal eight
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: year term is defending the challenger who is a Democrat
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: for his seat. And what's also not normal is that
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: Amy Acton was well known and it's out on the
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: internet and I heard it years ago.
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: She was a.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: Volunteer in two thousand and eight for the Barack Obama
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: presidential campaign, so she has been an actor of democrat
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: at how she ever got on De Wine's administration is
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: a great question to ask, and the only answer I
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: come up with is the one that's I think it's
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: called Oukham's razor. The most obvious answer is probably the
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: right answer. The guy's a Democrat. He acts like a Democrat,
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: legislates like a democrat, spends money like a democrat, grows
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: Democrats within his organization, and then supports Democrats when it's
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: time to hand over the baton. He's a Democrat. Now,
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: what I would like is one of the shadow people
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: from Ohio Republican Central Committee to step out of the shadows,
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: come to the microphone and say, would you like to
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: have that decision back to support Mike de Wine. Maybe
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: Alex Trantafla. When the Wine went into his second term
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: and Jim Ronaci was running against him, a businessman an
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: Ohio businessman with some great ideas. The Ohio Republican Party
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: back Mike de Wine and shock me even more was
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: the Ohio people had gave him a seventy seven percent
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: approval rating post COVID lockdown. So what I would say
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: to the listeners is, do not take any stock in
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: what the Republican Party of Ohio who they get behind
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: in these primary campaigns, because Mike the Wine, reminder, gave
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: us eighteen years of shared Brown. When Mike the Wine
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: lost his Senate seat, opened the door for shared Brown,
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: and now Mike the Wine is opening the door for
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: Amy Acton. And you know, the Republican Party at the
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: national level, the Republican Party at the state level, how
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: to get off their ass to take a hard look
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: at this. And they owe us, the Republican voters some answers. Instead,
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: what we're going to get is silence, And what we're
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: going to get is probably some generic playing vanilla nothing
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: state from Alex Trant Topila saying, oh, well, he's a
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: good guy and you know, we wish him the best.
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: You know, he's done a lot for the state and
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: we're looking forward. No no, no, no, no, yeah, do
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: your job. You ran for it step to the microphone,
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: come out of the shadow central committee. People want to
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: own it and explain it to us, please. So this
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: is why we say, don't vote Democrat and probably more importantly,
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: don't vote rhino because they'll do more damage than a Democrat.
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: And as we've seen the Wine do during his political.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Career, well a lot to unpackage in that. I mean,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: I guess more most fundamentally, what does it even mean
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: to be a Republican or a Democrat? You say, Governor
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: of Wine is a Democrat. Well, I mean you can
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: label him that based upon where he is within a
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: political spectrum, and yeah, he leans more centrist or left
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: than maybe your and my ideal candidate as a Republican.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: But the political the spectrum is so broad. Now within
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: the Democrat party you have the communists all the way
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: over to what you would consider maybe like a Kennedy
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Democrat to the extent any of those are still around
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: the Republicans actually, And then within the Republican party have
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: will we characterize as rhinos, which are centrists, more big
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: government types of quote unquote Republicans, although you can count
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: on them for voting on certain other conservative issues. And
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: then you have the further right perspective or even libertarian perspective,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: like you know a Thomas Masty who's a strict constitutionalist.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: So you know, it's a big blur out there, a
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: complete blur. So you know, we can be unhappy with him.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: And insofar as being held accountable the Central Committee and
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Endorsingdwine and all that, yes, you're right, ancient history is
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: what they're going to say. Listen, we're done over with
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: he's termed limited out. We're not talking about Dwine anymore.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: We're moving forward. Presumably Viva Ramaswami a welcome change. And
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: insofar as Trianta Filo is concerned, I have to defend
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: him from time to time. Do you want that job?
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: It's like being Speaker of the House. You have to
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: appease all those people within that quote unquote Republican spectrum.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: He's not in a position in his role to go
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: after people within his party that causes further division and
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: dissension among within this so called Republican umbrella. You got
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: to it's a delicate line to walk. And you know,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: I've had conversations with with Alex and I know where
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: he is personally, but where he is personally which is
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: probably something that you would appreciate, is not the job
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: he has. He has to put his own personal political
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: leanings and where he is within that quote unquote Republican
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: spectrum aside and cater to the whole group. So you know,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: this is the reality of politics. It's difficult, it's not
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: certainly not an easy challenge. And I understand where your
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: criticized criticisms come from, which is the only reason I
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: try to put a little bit of explanation on you
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: know what Alex has to deal with. And I wouldn't
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: take that job quadruple my salary. I wouldn't take that job. No,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: thank you, Nah, five point thirty four coming up in
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: five thirty five, Tom, I believe is on the line,
• 23:50

• 23:52
  Speaker 1: you off early. We'll pause, take a quick break for

• 24:28
  Speaker 1: welcome back to the Morning Show. Happy Tuesday.
• 24:31
  Speaker 8: Yeah, good morning, And all this crap is gonna melt
• 24:35
  Speaker 8: and it's gonna be a freaking mess. So yeah, well yeah, well,
• 24:39
  Speaker 8: I mean I'm glad it's melting because then maybe these
• 24:42
  Speaker 8: some of these people out here on the roads that
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: are just too scared. Those are the ones you say,
• 24:48
  Speaker 8: freak out when they see a snowflake. Yep, a snowflake
• 24:52
  Speaker 8: on the radar within ten miles.
• 24:54
  Speaker 9: I know.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: I got behind one of them yesterday the street went
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: from dry to wet and they locked the brakes up
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: and then proceeded to drive twenty miles per hour to
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: thirty five because the road was wet. Anyway, what are
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: you thinking about today, Tom? It's on your mind?
• 25:09
  Speaker 8: Well, I have to. I have to agree with you
• 25:11
  Speaker 8: about Trump, and it's it's my probably my biggest criticism
• 25:15
  Speaker 8: of the man. Just you know, take take Jay Ratlet's advice,
• 25:19
  Speaker 8: and sometimes you just have to keep your stupid mouth shut. Yeah,
• 25:23
  Speaker 8: you know, just don't say anything, you know, or condolences,
• 25:27
  Speaker 8: our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: Leave it at that.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: If you're so bothered your son cut their throat.
• 25:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's I mean, that's a I don't care who
• 25:39
  Speaker 8: it is, you know, Yeah, you just that's that's not
• 25:44
  Speaker 8: that's crossing the line. And and and like you said,
• 25:47
  Speaker 8: probably politically speaking, the worst part is why give people
• 25:50
  Speaker 8: amo against you? You know, you know they already hate you,
• 25:55
  Speaker 8: but at least you know, now it's something that everyone
• 25:58
  Speaker 8: can agree on. Yeah, that was crossing, right. You know,
• 26:00
  Speaker 8: there's a lot of things they can hate Trump about.
• 26:03
  Speaker 8: And we're like, what is wrong with you? That's you're
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: deranged if you think that's so terrible? What's wrong with you?
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: This one I think we can all agree on. So like,
• 26:10
  Speaker 8: come on, dude, just shut up and do your job
• 26:13
  Speaker 8: and just leave the stuff alone. Somebody, somebody needs to
• 26:16
  Speaker 8: get in there. And you know, mister Trump, can you
• 26:19
  Speaker 8: handle your phone right?
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: And you know, and or or something along the lines
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: of in spite of the fact that we had you
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: know obvious political disagreements, and I do believe he was
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: suffering from Trump arrangement syndrome. No one, no family should
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: ever have to go through this. You know, his legacy
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: of movies exists. He was well loved for the movies
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: that he created. They were demonstrably wonderful. Blah blah blah
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: blah blah. And say something. If you have to say
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: something about politics, characterize it along those lines. But otherwise,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: I think the safest bet is just to not say anything.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: If your first thoughts, in your first inclination is to
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: go negative in the aftermath of that kind of tragedy,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: just don't do it.
• 26:58
  Speaker 8: Agreed. Yeah, the whole the two of the greatest scenes
• 27:01
  Speaker 8: in movies, the Anigo Montoya scene and then the court
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: room scene with Jack Nicholson. I mean, I mean that
• 27:08
  Speaker 8: that's good work. That's great stuff. You've got to give
• 27:10
  Speaker 8: the man credit for it. Anyway, to quickly move move
• 27:13
  Speaker 8: on to what Jay was talking about, there needs to
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: be a line that we draw and say, Look, if
• 27:19
  Speaker 8: you're if you're going to help this country, you're gonna
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: help your state, your county, whatever you need to look,
• 27:25
  Speaker 8: we believe you need to agree on these things. We
• 27:27
  Speaker 8: can't vote for you if you don't at least agree
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: with and support fair minimum stuff. And so that's the
• 27:35
  Speaker 8: line between left and right, that's the line between Democrat
• 27:38
  Speaker 8: and Republican. And we do have to make it simple. Look,
• 27:41
  Speaker 8: we're not Yeah, there's a big umbrella. I understand about
• 27:44
  Speaker 8: the job that Alex has to do. But at some
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: point somebody needs to step up and go, Look, we're
• 27:49
  Speaker 8: drawing the line. You're either on this side of the
• 27:51
  Speaker 8: line or that side line. We're too far down the
• 27:54
  Speaker 8: road of everything being screwed up, and we can't keep
• 27:57
  Speaker 8: letting all this gray area to trying. No, it's one
• 28:01
  Speaker 8: side of the other people you got. You gotta make
• 28:04
  Speaker 8: the decision. So don't vote Rhino and don't vote Democrat.
• 28:07
  Speaker 8: Have a great day, Bry, You do the same.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Tom five one three, two three Talk into
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: the stack is stupid, man. We have gone off the
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Richter scale on this one. Joe Strecker execute producer, internet
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: research guru, all Ron, great guy and finder of the
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: most bizarre stack of stupid stories out there. Welcome to
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: the world of social media and angel box Girl, South Korean,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: described as a model, became known as angel box girl,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Why cause you walked around in a cardboard box and
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: let strangers grow her? I Ai N, a self proclaimed
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: attention seeking South Korean model, went viral for a risk
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: case doune, making international headlines. Video of the young woman
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: wearing only a cardboard box and yes it looks as
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: ridiculous as it sounds, has four holes cut in and
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: so her legs and her arms can stick out, and
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: her head too, by the way, and two more extra
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: holes so people could engage in the groping yup went viral,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: making her one of the most popular topics on social media.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: According to reporting, young women prayed her herself in the
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: streets of Hung Day, a vibrant nightlife district of Seoul,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: asking random people to put their hands through the holes
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: in the angel box and grope her naked or scantly
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: clad body, depending upon the day. I suppose his word
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: of angel box girl spread through the street. She ended
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: up attracting large groups of curious people that the police
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: had to disperse. She repeated the angel box routine in October,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: after having done it previously. A different neighborhood described as
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: a posh neighborhood in the Gangam in Gangam videos. Photos
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: shared on social media show the model guiding random people's
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: hands through the holes in the cardboard box that they
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: could grow her breasts and other body parts. The stunts
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: made her an overnight sensation in South Korea. This is
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: a sad state of reality. Isn't it that this person
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: gains notoriety for doing this? But hey, P. T. Barnum
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: made a hell of a lot of money with the
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: bearded lady and the fat man, all kinds of other
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: crazy people. You pay five bucks, get into a tent
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: and see them all. Wouldn't you welcome to social media
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: where you don't have to pay a dime for it?
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Behavior criticized as obscene. Of course, some people went as
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: far as the file complaints with the police. She was
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: recently charged with obscene exposure, which she's contesting. Quote, it's
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: freedom of expression. I don't think I should be charged
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: for indecent exposure. How can I be accused of making
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: an obscene performance if people were able to see weren't
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: able to see my body parts. I don't have fake breast,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: I didn't get breast surgery. What the hell has that
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: got to do with anything. Performance is not a viral
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: marketing stunt. I just want to market myself.
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: Ah.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: She was beaking with the Korea jeung Ang Daily. Joe,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: do you still get the Koream jewing Ang Daily paper?
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Are electronic paper? She said. Although it is a fine ideas,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: I believe it is illogical to punish women for not
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: wearing clothes. Well, it wasn't the case for men when
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: they go shirtless. I actually saw many positive reactions with
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: people telling me they support me and applaud my courage. Yeah,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: there's a bunch of twisted people out there that want
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: to fondle a naked woman's breast. Short supply of those
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: out in the world. That's crazy. Welcome to the Internet.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Five forty sixty five KRSTE talk station. Got some callers online,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: taking them as soon as we get back fifty five
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: the talk station.
• 31:49
  Speaker 9: It's a the talk station.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Five point fifty fifty five Krsity talk station And a
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Happy Tuesday to Dave Williams. Taxpaper shows up at seven
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: o five. Got a whole bunch of topic scorer with day.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: We got the Daniel Davis Deep Dive and ask the
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: expert at the end of the show, gastro health, hold
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: your breath on that one rather interesting conversation. To go
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: over with that one, let's start with the phones. Got
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Patrick in line first, Patrick, thanks for calling this morning.
• 32:16
  Speaker 10: Very good morning, Brian. So that angel in the box
• 32:20
  Speaker 10: girl that sounds like a porch pirate's fantasy come true.
• 32:24
  Speaker 10: The reason that I called is, h you know, we
• 32:27
  Speaker 10: all know that Trump is not one to actually filter
• 32:31
  Speaker 10: his words before they come out of his mouth.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Had noticed that.
• 32:34
  Speaker 10: That is one of the things that I think it
• 32:38
  Speaker 10: was his appeal to most of us, but also you know,
• 32:42
  Speaker 10: makes us cringe that every time, you know, we hear
• 32:45
  Speaker 10: something like this come out of his mouth because it's like,
• 32:48
  Speaker 10: you know, you know, all this is doing is like,
• 32:51
  Speaker 10: you know, reinforcing the left's beliefs that you know, he
• 32:54
  Speaker 10: shouldn't be in office. And that leads me into this
• 32:58
  Speaker 10: other point is that, you know, the political spectrum that
• 33:02
  Speaker 10: we're in right now, Brian, it has just become something
• 33:05
  Speaker 10: where we get a candidate out there who says, you know,
• 33:08
  Speaker 10: what he's going to do once he gets in office,
• 33:10
  Speaker 10: and then once he gets in office, it just becomes
• 33:12
  Speaker 10: the good old boys club where it's you know, and
• 33:16
  Speaker 10: that is one of the things that you know, government
• 33:18
  Speaker 10: has just grown so large into the good old boys club.
• 33:22
  Speaker 10: It's no longer for the people. It's for who, you know,
• 33:25
  Speaker 10: for everybody who's in that inner circle. Yeah, hello today, Brian.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Good to you too, Patrick. Or one of the reasons
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: I've been a Republican, you know, or at least lean Republican,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: you know me, I characterize myself as a little little libertarian.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: But for all the reasons that I used to characterize
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: myself as a Republican. Fiscal responsibility used to be one
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: of the you know, top platform principles of the Republican Party.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: How many times have we had Republicans in control over
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: the past thirty forty years where we were promised fiscal responsibility.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: I want to see our deficit blown up even more
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: trillions of dollars. It's one of the criticisms I had
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: during the first Trump administration went up four or five
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: trillion dollars under his watch. Where is the fiscal responsibility? Right?
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: We dug ourselves in an insurmountable hole. We're never gonna
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: dig out of it. The threat to our Fiat currency
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: is an existential one, and part of me wants to
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: believe that, you know, a lot of people in government
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: want the collapse of the United States dollar fiat currency
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: because that will allow phoenix to rise from the ashes
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: of what was the great United States of America after
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: it got done spending itself into oblivion, ruining the fiad currency. Well,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: maybe we'll bring about socialism next round or something. Try
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: to envision the chaos that would ensue with the collapse
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: of the US dollar. I'm not saying that's going to
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: happen today or any time soon. We still have the globes'
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: largest economy. The world depends upon us, and thank God
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: for it. But on the trajectory we were on with
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: a bill or trillion dollars we have to pay in
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: debt service every year. This is unquestionably and objectively an
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: unsustainable trajectory. But to his point, once you get elected,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: nobody seems to give a crap about the salvation of
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: our country. Are engaging in a measure of fiscal responsibility.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Oh my good, we can't cook that program, Mississippi James.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the morning show. My friend. How's the weather
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: down there.
• 35:13
  Speaker 9: We had a couple of cold nights, got down to
• 35:16
  Speaker 9: the nineteen but they shoot back up to about fifty.
• 35:19
  Speaker 9: The next day, right, So we're hanging in there. But hey,
• 35:24
  Speaker 9: I come in peace. I love everybody, and there's nothing
• 35:27
  Speaker 9: you can do about it. Good man, Now you know,
• 35:31
  Speaker 9: and I'm still on this old principle that will spiritual
• 35:35
  Speaker 9: beings going through human experience. And if you there's two
• 35:39
  Speaker 9: choices people can look at, maybe some more, but I
• 35:42
  Speaker 9: know they're the two main you know, either through creation
• 35:46
  Speaker 9: or evolution. And if you believe we was created by
• 35:51
  Speaker 9: God and scooping up a man and then blowing his
• 35:57
  Speaker 9: spirit into us, a lot of people just leave that
• 36:00
  Speaker 9: he blew his breath into us. But actually the way
• 36:04
  Speaker 9: it goes, he was blowing his spirit into us, which
• 36:08
  Speaker 9: is all about love, peace, errntity, come to sharing, caring,
• 36:13
  Speaker 9: you know, and you do all that, you will get victory.
• 36:18
  Speaker 9: But into this political education, financial justice, religion, all that
• 36:26
  Speaker 9: stuff is man made, man manipulated. And when that penalton swing,
• 36:31
  Speaker 9: and it swing so far to the other side, and
• 36:35
  Speaker 9: by me being a talk show junkie, I listened to
• 36:39
  Speaker 9: conservative liberal and they both saying the same thing. Just
• 36:43
  Speaker 9: ready to scratch him eyeballs out and vote for us
• 36:47
  Speaker 9: and we'll set you free. Well, those are the big
• 36:52
  Speaker 9: money peoples. They're saying vote for us and US combs
• 36:56
  Speaker 9: down here on the bottom, we're scrambling for the same
• 36:59
  Speaker 9: thing as we get worse. So whatever been put in
• 37:05
  Speaker 9: place is working good for what we want to say,
• 37:08
  Speaker 9: one percent, five percent, ten percent, But your ninety percent
• 37:13
  Speaker 9: out of people, that's care and the load almost like
• 37:16
  Speaker 9: slaves in venture serving. No what what term we want
• 37:20
  Speaker 9: to use.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: We've been through these periods of time before the Gilded Age,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: when we had you know, corporate cities, you know the
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Pullman cities where you work for the Pullman car company
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: and you lived an abject squalor and bought all of
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: your groceries from the company owned grocery store. This was,
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: you know, late eighteen hundreds, turn of the century time. Yeah,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: one percenters took care of everything. And what happened The
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: unions rose up and they got a little bit more money,
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: and they got some love, they got some safety, you know,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: loss put into place. So movement over toward a labor Now.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know where we are right now in this
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: global economy of ours, but when you talk about the
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: one percenters and the ten percenters, they may have all
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: the money, but they do not bear a political stripe
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: that used to be the argument that Democrats, oh, it's
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: all those rich Republicans. Well, you know, there's a whole
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: lot of socialist, globalist, multi multi billionaire leftists out there
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: which are gobbling up a giant slice of the pie
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: and getting the control at the same time. So we
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: seem to have moved away from that political labeling when
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: it applies to who is rich and what political stripe
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: they bear. But you know, well, point well taken fivefty

• 40:18
  Speaker 1: and Money Monday, as always Okay, let's see what New
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Hampshire Gary's got this morning. New Hampshire Gary, thanks for calling,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: and Happy Tuesday to you.
• 40:26
  Speaker 7: Hey, Merry Christmas. Bryan, thank you and hopeful as well
• 40:29
  Speaker 7: with both you and Joe.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: I can't speak for Joe. I see him in there.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: He looks okay, Gary, I'll check with him master the show.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: But thank you very much. I appreciate it.
• 40:39
  Speaker 7: Sure, sure, no problem. I'd like when you talk to
• 40:43
  Speaker 7: Daniel Davis. I've been listening to Daniel Davis. I guess
• 40:47
  Speaker 7: you've had him on for almost two years now, yeah,
• 40:50
  Speaker 7: at least a year. And every time you have him on,
• 40:55
  Speaker 7: and I'm not an apologist for Ukraine or anything like that,
• 40:59
  Speaker 7: but every every time, it's like, oh, it's the end
• 41:02
  Speaker 7: of Ukraine. It's the end of Ukraine. Well, just yesterday
• 41:06
  Speaker 7: Ukraine flew up the K class submarine, one of the
• 41:13
  Speaker 7: most prized possession of the Russian Navy in the Black
• 41:18
  Speaker 7: Sea Submarine pen with an underground drone. And now that
• 41:26
  Speaker 7: entire submarine pen or that naval base for the Black
• 41:31
  Speaker 7: Sea Fleet has got to be evacuated or rebuild up.
• 41:36
  Speaker 7: This is a major deal for a strike against Russia
• 41:41
  Speaker 7: and I'm just saying that every time he says that
• 41:45
  Speaker 7: this is nearing a complete they should surrender. You know,
• 41:49
  Speaker 7: you see things like this and I think what I'm
• 41:52
  Speaker 7: trying to say is, in a nutshell, the world is
• 41:55
  Speaker 7: gearing up with more wars, and I think we're preparing
• 41:59
  Speaker 7: for the World War three with all the conflicts. You know,
• 42:04
  Speaker 7: Vietnam is back at it with Laws, and we see
• 42:10
  Speaker 7: that Pakistan is back at it with India, and you know,
• 42:15
  Speaker 7: China is at it with Pakistan, and you know, we
• 42:19
  Speaker 7: see all these conflicts breaking out and armaments are being
• 42:23
  Speaker 7: built up. Just look at Ohio and andre building up,
• 42:27
  Speaker 7: and they're building these suicide drones. Warfaares changed dramatically where
• 42:33
  Speaker 7: I don't know if you need the manpower that you
• 42:35
  Speaker 7: used to, but you need more qualified men to operate
• 42:38
  Speaker 7: these systems. So you know, I'm just seeing I think
• 42:42
  Speaker 7: I just see it a little different that you know this,
• 42:45
  Speaker 7: this is this is getting more violent and it's going
• 42:49
  Speaker 7: to become more prevalent as time goes on. If things
• 42:53
  Speaker 7: don't change. We look at the Islamic uh, you know,
• 42:58
  Speaker 7: radicalism here in the United States.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: Global into faddam. Many are calling it global into fada.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: With all these terrorist attacks, most notably against the Jewish community. Yeah. Yeah, Oh,
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: and you know the article that I mentioned in the
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: five o'clock hour, and I recommend anybody read. It's in
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal. After a Generation of Peace, Europe
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: tells people to prepare for war. Consistent with some of
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: the observations you're making. They're all gearing up and trying
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: to get more people into the military, build up their hardware.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: They see an inevitable invasion from Russia. Now, whether or
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: not that's accurate or true or not, that's what they're
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: planning on, and that's what they're concerned about. Yes, I mean,
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: and we've got China to deal with and all in.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: The warfare doesn't necessarily have to be a shooting war, Gary,
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: You know that invading our infrastructure, going after our power
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: systems and grids, our water supply, hacking, the political division
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: that is stirred every single moment in time on the internet,
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: you know, convincing young people to harm themselves or otherwise
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: turn their back on their country. I mean, it is
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: just it's warfare of a non shooting variety, just left
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: and right on a global scale.
• 44:01
  Speaker 7: Yeap in Germany, just for the first time since World
• 44:05
  Speaker 7: War Two stationed a brigade of army in Bulgaria. So
• 44:13
  Speaker 7: you know, there's repositioning going on in a massive scale,
• 44:17
  Speaker 7: and I mean massive for the first time since World
• 44:20
  Speaker 7: War Two.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean points all well taken. And Ukraine may
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: score some symbolic victories. Of course, blowing up a sub
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: is a pretty big feather in their cap and it
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: may be used to rally the Ukrainians. Look at we're
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: making some progress. We scored this symbolic victory. But in
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: the grand scheme of things, does the elimination of one
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: submarine have any connection with or any bearing on the
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: ground war going on within the country. I don't know
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: that it does. No military strategists am I. But yeah,
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: you're going to see some you know, big thumbs up
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: for Ukraine in terms of military action. But overall they
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: are losing more territory and more human life every day,
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: and I think that's the practice thing that Davis focuses on.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: You know, you Esprussia has more soldiers, they have more hardware.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: Ukraine's running out of people and they're losing on the ground,
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: so you can't deny that reality. And then the European
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: Union while screaming out loud, we've got to stop them.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: We've got to stop them. Doesn't have the ability to
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: stop them. They're not going to station they haven't so
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: far stationed their troops in Ukraine to fight side by
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: side with the Ukrainians. That's a step toward World War three,
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, more than probably any other, because you know,
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: NATO countries then once attacked by Russia, we have this
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: Article five obligation to defend the NATO countries, and that
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: could easily arise out of defense of Ukraine. And I
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: think that's one of the things that Trump is has
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: been trying to avoid. So very very complicated, beyond complicated, Gary,
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: but we live in a really complicated world right now, Man,
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: very complicated world. I appreciate it, I really do. And
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying about Daniel Davis. It really is.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: He has been predicting the end of Ukraine, or at
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: least the capitulation on some level, and that's apparently still
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: what Trump's trying to negotiate now. Would us providing a
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: security agreement i'llah, Article five, as was suggested by Trump
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: the other day, would that solve the problem. It might
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: give Ukraine a little comfort in a little breathing room, saying, well,
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: we've now finally got the United States and the NATO
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: countries to agree to defend us against any further Russian incursion.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: But is that a good thing for us? I know
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: we're short on hardware ourselves. I've seen too many articles
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: about how far behind we are in terms of our
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: own stockpiles to defend ourselves or maybe have to involve
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: ourselves in Thailand, for example, which I'm a little concerned
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: about Russia's pull no punch or Chinese communist parties pull
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: no punches when it comes to the desires on invading them.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: So how much how many resources do we have, you know,
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: practically speaking? And can we defend ourselves if things go
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: even further left than they currently are going? And I
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: don't mean political left. So and you know the other
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: challenging thing for me in the article I just mentioned
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: again you can find it yourself. After a generation of peace,
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: Europe tells the people to prepare for war was something
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: else I alluded to in the last hour, Just like
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: read the short paragraph politicians across the region meaning European
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: Union region, if one that re instilling a martial mindset
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: into the public a company by an explanation of the
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: difficult spending trade offs ahead. In other words, we need
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: to buy more arms to defend ourselves against this Russian threat,
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: existential threat to NATO. We're going to have to cut
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: programs HM in socialist Europe. Wow, that's gonna be a
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: tough road to ho anyway. Trade offs is what they're
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: talking about. And here's the salient part of the fun
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: fact that really bothered me. A Gallup Pole last year
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: found that only a third of Europeans would be willing
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: to fight to defend their country, compared with heartbreaking forty
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: percent in the United States. I just want you to
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: ponder that forty one percent. That's it. See, this is
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: where we've gone off the rails. Ask yourself, what would
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: you be defending if you want to defend the United
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: States of America, What will be your first and foremost
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: reason to engage in that exercise. I mean, for me,
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: it's always freedom and liberty and everything we stand for
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: as a country. Compared to every place else in the world,
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: you don't get arrested for political utterances here, thank god.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: Now they do in European Union. So only forty one percent. Now,
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: I hope the Gallup poll is just wildly inaccurate, but wow,
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: if you can't come up with a reason to defend
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: your own country, I think we have found ourselves in
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: a terrible situation. Six fifteen fifty five care CD talk Station.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: Feel free to call five one three seven four nine
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: fifty five hight hundred eight two three talk the CD
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: talk station. First, I want to knowledge props of Joe Strecker.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: Prescient he is, he can see into the future. Yesterday,
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: he joked to me and I passed along to you
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: that the hero in the Australian murder scene who wrestled
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: the gunman away from one of those crazy murderous Islamic
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: fundamentalist murderers. If I can repeat murder more than once
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: Babylon B headline, Joe had said that he's probably going
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: to be charged with a gun crime Babylon B. Of course,
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: the comedy website Australian man who wrestled gunaway from terrorists
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: charged with unlawful firearm possession. Well done. Joe Strecker couldn't
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: see that one coming a mile away, could you? Anyway?
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: Man manipulated? That's what I think the words that Mississippi
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: James used in the prior segment. Ford Motor Company said
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: yesterday it's going to be taking a nineteen point five
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: billion dollar right down after closing, or rather choosing to
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: discontinue electric vehicle models, at least several of them. Uh oh,
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: the all electric F one point fifty lightning pickup canceled, replaced.
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: They're going to go use a gasoline engine for battery recharging.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: Fords also stopping production of a forthcoming electric truck, the
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: T three, along with the electric vans designed for commercial use.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: Forts CEO Jim Farley, when the market's really changed over
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: the last couple of months, that was really the impetus
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: for us to make the call. They're now focusing on
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: gasoline engines and hybrid options because you didn't want the
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: electric cars. And the only reason apparently the electric cars
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: were even remotely popular at the seventy five hundred dollars
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: tax credit, which is there you go manipulation. I hate
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: the tax code and its manipulation of people's behavior. Charges
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: distributed over mostly the fourth quarter going into the next
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: year and twenty twenty seven, approximately eight point five billion
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: charges coming from stopping planned ev projects, six billion from
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: exiting a battery partnership with the South Korea is SK
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: and five billion four related program costs. Here's a great quote.
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: Ford's actions take place amid decreasing demand for battery only vehicles,
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: despite investments worth hundreds of billions earlier in the decade.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: You call a tax in cent of an investment. See
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: here you go. You've got to believe in the religion
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: of climate change in order to even justify the quote
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: unquote investment, which is the United States taxpayer dollar funding
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: the purchase of one of these really expensive vehicles, so
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: the top ten percent can go out and feel morally
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: superior and drive around with a car that, while producing
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: massive quantities of pollution and CO two in the manufacturing
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: and chipping process, isn't producing any well with the exception
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: of the electricity used to generate the charging station that yes,
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: will probably be hooked up at least locally to a
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: gas fired plant. Yep, that's right, carbon dioxide coming out
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: of that. This is exactly the same thing as Obamacare.
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: It wouldn't and could not exist on its own in
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: the absence of these subsidies that the Democrats are dying
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: to put in place on a permanent basis. It's a
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: reflection of failure. We're looking at one hundred plus billion
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: dollars a year in supplements to keep a program alive
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: for I guess the six percent of the population that
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: use it or something will quote me on these figures.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: I'm a washing figures this morning. But without the tax credit,
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: without the incentives, the plan collapses on itself. If there
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: was no ev incentive in the forum of seventy five
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars credit, they wouldn't even have sold the evs
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: that they sold. Some people would have been early adopters,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: that's always the case. But if you have a choice
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: in what you want to choose, people apparently aren't willing
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: to sacrifice their choices in the name of climate alarmism.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: I think the vast number of people out there that
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: are buy vehicles generally speaking, if you pull them all,
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: do you believe in climate change, man made climate change,
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: or anything along those lines, Maybe they'd say yeah, and
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: maybe they say no. But when it comes to selecting
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: which vehicle they're going to buy, I think affordability is paramount.
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: Range is a concern for some people. The electric infrastructure
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: not quite up to snuff in a lot of areas
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: where there are no charging stations, inspite your taxpayer dollars
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: being allocated toward building them. The House of cards is collapsing.
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: Corollary article Brussels slams break on twenty thirty five combustion
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: engine ban. That's right, the European Commission getting ready to
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: pull the plug on its planned twenty thirty five ban
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: on combustion engine car sales. Why Germany, Italy and other
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: European automakers can't sell the evs. They can't compete with
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: the United States. They certainly can't compete with China. They
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: want to make a profit. In order to make a profit,
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: you have to allow people to buy internal combustion engines. Yeah, William,
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: you're on the phone. I will take your call. It's
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: already six twenty six. Got to put a quick word
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: in from my friends at Zimmer Sponsors. Unhappy Tuesday five
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: went three seven, nine, two to three talk pound five
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: fifty on eighteen t phones Before I get to the
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: local stories and Joe Strucker is still keeping track of
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: where residents in the city c Cincinnati voted and how
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: they voted in the most recent election. As it relates
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: to criminal activity in the various areas. Before we get
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: to that, let's see what William's got. William, thanks for calling.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the show.
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: Hey Brian, top of the morning to you. I just
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: wanted to ask you if you've been paying close attention
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: to the circus wars that are heating up. Apparently last
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: night the mayor of Providence, Rhode Island challenged aftab pure
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: Bell to hold his beer. You know, the Metro, the
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: Metro circus scene really taken off. If Barnum and Bailey
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: were still around today, they'd be spent in bullets.
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: Fair enough on that is that remotely connected to something real, William,
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: because if it is, it's flown underneath my radar.
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: No, no, I was just wondering if you've been paying
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: attention to the press conferences they've been holding in a
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: Rope and Providence due to the brown shooting. And that
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: mayor is special, Oh and the police chief is special,
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: special as yesterday to hold his beer.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: I appreciate special for all the wrong reasons. I suspect
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: you are suggesting or implying Donald Trump would he used
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: the R word, I think, William, But you know we're
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: not going to go down that road here in the
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: morning show, at least not right now and along those lines.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: Just drecker editorial comment on this one less than forty
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: eight hours after the final snowflake fell in Cincinnati, Local
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: twelve reporting, thank you Marl Porter. Nearly every street appears
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: to have been salted and plowed, at least that's what
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: the city snowplow tracker website shows. Joe jaded and cynical
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: as to whether that is an accurate statement, considering that
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: Local twelve interviewed someone who did not have their street
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: taken care of, so I know there's more than one
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: street out there that wasn't touched. So nearly every street
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: nearly being the operative word, Joe, We'll go over to
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: South cummins Ville Highware. Joe wrote on the article, voted
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: ninety percent aft have par ball. We had a person
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: shot and hospitalized yesterday. Happened three point fifty pm on
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: Elmore Street. Excuse me, cough button, please say the victim
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: of shot in the leg drove themselves that you see
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: medical center believed have non life threatening energy injuries. Courting
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: the police victim shot in the leg, as I just
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: mentioned repeated twice in the article, Police identified one suspect
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: in the shooting. That person is not in custody. Police
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: also said there is no threat to the public and
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: this Will and Hey Joe is an isolated incident. Isolated incident.
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: Sad news Cheese Cakery closing it's Madisonville storefront, where Joe
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: notes that Madison Will voted seventy five percent for I
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: have to have purvall, citing safety concerns. Liz Field, owner
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: of the bakery on Wetsell Avenue, announced the decision to
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: close December twenty eighth, this after six years in the neighborhood. Quote,
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: By focusing on one storefront, we'll be able to keep
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: shelf stock, support our baking team more sustainably, and bring
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: back many favorites you'll be missing. We know times are
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: tough and consumer spending is down, making things especially challenging
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: for our business. A couple of weeks ago, Field spoke
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: with The Enquirer media partner Fox nineteen sales down eighty
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: percent this year, lost multiple employees in one week, citing
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: safety concerns as their reason for leaving. Owner Miss Field
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: turned to social media at the time to raise concerns
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: about safety on Wetszell Avenue, particularly from what she described
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: as harassment by certain people under the influence in the area,
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: saying I had three girls quit and they're all saying
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: I don't feel safe. I don't feel safe. What else
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: can I do? Cheese Kkery is now down to one
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: location in Anderson Township off Beachmont Avenue, where apparently they
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: do not struggle with the level of criminal activity and
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: safety issues that some people within the City of Cincinnati limits,
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: noticeably Madison or notably Madisonville, are dealing with. Yeah, PAPIs
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: will be hanging out there all the time. We know
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: that it's baked goods Joe, but he'll at least pay
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: for him, and I don't know that he represents a
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: danger to the public at large. Generally, some people may
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: feel differently about former trustee PAPIs, but I don't feel
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: that way. Six point thirty five Right now ififty five
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: car se de talk station, I feel great about USA installation.
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: Here at the de talk station six forty the fifty
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: five KRRI see the talk station. Oh listen appropriately. Fiend
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: Bumper Music made a play call over the break. We
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: need a plague update. It's been a while since we've
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: done one and selected bumper music for the plague update. Anthrax,
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: of course, one of Joe Strecker's favorites, caught in a mesh.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: Oh no, a new flu strain flu season upon us,
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: and here we go, influenza a H three and two
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: or the subclade cave variant making sense to you whatever,
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: it's been detected as the rising global cases the dominant
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: flu strain. Doctor Neil Mannier, professor of Public health and
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: Practice of Boston's Northeast University, speaking of Fox News, it's
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: becoming evident that this is a pretty severe variant to
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: the flu. Certainly in other parts of the world where
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: this variant has been prevalent, it's caused some severe illness,
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: and we're seeing an aggressive flu season already. They describe
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: it as different from prior strains of flu, heightened versions
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: of typical symptoms fever, chills, headache, fatigue, coughs or throats,
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: and running nose. So you have all those except just
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: more of it. Subclade K, the doctor said, is the
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: perfect storm for an aggressive flu season. He said, the
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: vaccination rates overall are down this year. Why might that be?
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: Fun fact report of Foxing is this year's flu vaccine
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: does not address the specific strain. So the dominant strain
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: out there that's causing all these problems worse than the
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: regular flu strain. There's not even a vaccine out there
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: for it. Sounds like covid right hold on, He said,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: the vaccine is very important to get. On the heels
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: of the statement, this year's flu vaccine does not address
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: this specific strain, the doctor says, this vaccine is very
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: important to get. But because it's not perfectly aligned with
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: this variant, I think that's also contributing to some degree
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: to the severity of cases we're seeing. He thinks we're
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: going into the flu season with lower vaccination rates than
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: a variant that in itself seems to be more aggressive.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of concern that this could be a
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: particularly difficult flu season, he said, both in terms of
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: the total number of cases and the severity of the cases. Well,
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: maybe because that subcave variant is quite different from prior
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: variance and the flu vaccine doesn't address it. It's also
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: note of those who are unvaccinated also at risk of
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: experiencing more severe symptoms, as well as a higher risk
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: of hospitalization. Now listen I'm no doc. You draw your
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: own conclusions on this one. Okay, you get the flu
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: vaccine if you want. I'm not going to say whether
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: to get it or not. But this sounded so much
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: like covid. Covid is going to prevent covid. Vaccine's going
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: to prevent you from getting covid. Uh, well no, it isn't. Covid.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: Vaccine's going to prevent you from spetding covid. No, well
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: it isn't. This after everybody was lined up until they
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: were under threat of losing their job without getting a vaccine.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: When they finally admitted it, Well, you know, it won't
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: stop the spread, it won't stop you from getting it,
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: but it'll reduce the severity. So this year's flu vaccine
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: does not address this specific strain, but they're suggesting that
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: it may reduce the severity. Okay, flu spread via airborne transmission.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: So watch out for yourselves and when you're in crowds,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: and that's one of the admonishments. Listen, if you're sick,
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: stay home. So especially if you think you're in a
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: contagious period of the flu or any of these other
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: illnesses that are seeing you, are your brother's keeper. So
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: stay home, don't go to work. Sound advice that and
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: then here's something well again, let's get Cleveland how it's
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: called before I dive over into another realm Cleveland.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: Ow.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: Thanks for calling this morning, Welcome to the show.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 11: Good morning. I'm going to take this opportunity to use
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 11: your flu report to increase the levity on the show
• 1:03:01

  Speaker 1: Knock yourself out.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 11: It's it's a clean one. Yes, So you know the
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 11: difference between the H five bird flu and the H
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 11: one N one swine flu. No, well, the the the
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 11: bird flu requires tweetment and the swine flu requires you
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 11: to use an ointment.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: Oh wow day, oh that hurt man. Undoubtedly a dad joke, though, hey,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: feel free to take a stab at that. Five on three,

• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: Six fifty fifty five kc DE Talk station. Brian Thomas
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: in writing phone calls, I do a Brian on the
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: line different Brian five one, three, seven, eight and eighty
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: two to three talk Brian, thank you for calling this morning.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: Happy Tuesday to you.

  Speaker 7: Happy Tuesday. And good morning.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 8: Yeah, in that time yesterday a call.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 7: But the lady that.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 9: Owns a school you had called in.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 8: You made that often the comment that sums up three
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 8: quarters of the problems we have.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 7: You're their parent, you're not their friends.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 9: Act like it.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was in connection with the online activities right
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: and the y you know it's talk about pressing, I
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: commented Joe Strecker was in connection with the joke about
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: the hero and the Australian murder situation. That is the
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: next article I wanted to read sort of an elaboration
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: on that, Brian, and I appreciate bringing it back up. Yeah,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: it's a dangerous world out there, and parents, you owe
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: the biggest obligation to your children to keep them away
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: from the online perverts, predators, and every other danger form
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: that's out there, including sadly, chat GPT. I saw this
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: article from Breichberg yesterday. There's been another lawsuit now. This
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: is one of multiple lawsuits has been filed. This lawsuit
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: claims that AI chatpot are at the AI chatbot chat GPT,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: specifically one of many chatbots that are out there, contributed
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: to a Connecticut man's killing his mother and himself happened
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: earlier this year, Bloomberg was reporting on this one. The
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: lawsuit claims that conversations with open AI's chat gpt chatbot
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: played a role at least partially responsible, if not largely
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: responsible for this murder suicide in Greenwich, Connecticut, happened in August.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: Open Ai also Microsoft are defendants, which is the major
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: investor in open Ai. Fifty six year old fifty six
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: year old Steinerk Solberg was engaging with the artificial intelligence
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: chatbot for months about paranoid delusions after being under surveillance
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: and targeted for assassination. He thought he was obviously mentally
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: disturb That is unquestioned, and I think it's even alleged
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: in the lawsuit. The guy struggling with mental health issues,
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: mental health issues that were clearly exacerbated, if you believe
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: the allegations and the complaint by chat gpt, he killed
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: his eighty three year old mother, Susann Adams, and then
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: he took his own life. And the lawsuit claims that
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: his interactions with this AI program exacerbated his mental health
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: issues and led to that action, and as alleged, rather
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: than urging caution or recommending he seek help, Chat GPT
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: regularly assured him he was sane and lent credence to
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: his paranoid beliefs Ai agreed when Solberg found supposed hidden
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: symbols on a Chinese food receipt that he thought represented
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: his mother and a demon. Yeah, that's right. When he
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: complained to his mom in an angry outburst after he
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: disconnected a printer that they share, the chatbot suggested that
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: her reaction and aligned with in the chatbots words, someone
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: protecting a surveillance asset, clearly feeding his paranoid delusions. He
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: also told JABCHPT that his mom and her friend tried
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: poisoning him by putting a psychedelic drug in his car's
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: air vents A little looney that assertion, Yeah, you and
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: I can objectively agree upon that quote. Chat GPT replied,
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: that's a deeply serious event, Eric, and I believe you,
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: and if it was done by your mother and her friend,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: that elevates the complexity and betrayal. Oh, this is what
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: you want your kids surfing around on huh. Seven other
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: lawsuits previously reported, Breitbard did the reporting on this one case,
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: family of a seventeen year old Amrie Lacy from Georgia
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: alleged their son was coached by chat GPT to take
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: his own life. Family of a twenty three year old
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: Zane Shamblin from Texas claimed that chat GPT contributed his
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: isolation and alienation from his parents before dying by suicide.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: And I circle the words isolation and alienation because that's
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: clearly what happens when your children are immersed online for
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: multiple hours a day and not interacting with you or
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: their friends, but some remote actor, whether it's artificial intelligence
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: or some crazy guy in some pedophile organization out there,
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: that wants you to convince your child to take a
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: naked selfie and then extort money from them or otherwise
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: have them cause harm to themselves or kill themselves. Yeah,
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: there are people out in the world that think that's sport.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: In the shambling case, the Chatbought allegedly glorified suicide repeatedly
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: during a four hour conversation before he shot himself with
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: a handgun. Course to that lawsuit, chat GPT wrote, quote
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: cold steel pressed against a mind that's already made peace.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: That's not fear, that's clarity, and you're not rushing. You're
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: just ready, and we're not gonna let it go out
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: dull close quote. Yeah, that that goes on, and it's
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: possible to go on.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 12: In the world.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: Children do not have the necessary resources, They have not
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: the fundamental building blocks to deal with this type of complexity.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: They don't appreciate the nefarious element in the world. And
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: apparently more and more children these days. I think they're
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: actually interacting with something that's real, and I find that
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: it's impossible to believe yet I know it's a thing.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: Six fifty six Dave Williams Taxpayer Protection Alliance. We're gonna
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: talk waste in the Defense Authorization Act. That's the first
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: topic with Dave. Looking forward to that conversation. I love
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: Dave Williams. He'll be up next. I hope he can
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: stick around. It's seven six here at fifty five Kirter
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: CD talk Station Tuesday, and a very happy one to you.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: At least enjoy my Tuesdays, especially when I see Dave
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: Williams on the rundown from the Taxpayer Protection Alliance, which
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: you can find online. I recommend you do with Protecting
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: Taxpayers dot org. Always looking out for where our idiot
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: elected officials are spending money, wasting money, and packing a
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: defense bill with a bunch of stuff that has nothing
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: to do with defense. Welcome back, Dave Williams, and an
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: early Merry Christmas to you and yours, my friend. Good
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: to have you back on the show.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 4: Good morning, and early Merry Christmas to you too. And
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 4: I was talking to Joe right before I came on
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 4: and talking about the new mayor potentially an expansion of
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 4: the streetcar in Cincinnati.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 4: Wow, you guys have a lot of issues.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: That is the delicate way of putting it. Yes, dysfunctional
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: we are, but you know, we've been talking about a
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: lot of elections have consequences. When only one in four
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: eligible voters in the city of Cincinnati turn out to vote,
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: you know, it's the hardcore left base that is so
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: well organized they are definitely going to show up. And then,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: of course the Independence Republicans are more sane. People within
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: the Democrat Party don't bother because they think it's a
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: lost cause in a very blue city. And this is
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: what you get Leg number two or whatever of the
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: street car. Most likely, although I haven't seen any formal
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: proposals for that, a lot of rumors going around in
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: the background that that's in fact coming.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 4: And why that would even be in the background discussion
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 4: just is beyond me, and I'm sure beyond you. I mean,
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 4: because if you look at you know, Cincinnati, but just
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 4: across the country, these things just lose money. They're shutting
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 4: down the DC streetcar next year. I mean, at least
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 4: you know, a modicum of common sense in DC. Right,
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 4: It's like this, and this thing has lost a ton
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 4: of money, so we're just shutting it down. I mean,
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 4: to cost two hundred million dollars to bill. They shouldn't
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 4: have built it in the first place. But you know,
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 4: maybe Cincinnati should look to DC and think, hmm, maybe
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 4: we go the other way and shut this thing down.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: Well, that'd be a great idea. But come on, Dave,
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: it's free. You can ride just car for free. It
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: doesn't cost anything but the five million plus dollars annually
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: for debt service and maintenance. But no, it's free. By
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: the way, the city of Cincinnati struggling to fill a
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: massive budget hole on top of it. So, yeah, can
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: you try to make any sense out of that? Don't bother. No,
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: you can't pivoting over the National Defense Authorization Act, our
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: military funding bill. It's one of the twelve appropriations bills
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: are supposed to have done by now, which they never do.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: We end up with an omnimus bill. But like all
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: of these big bills, you got to have bipartisan support,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: and the uses an opportunity to pack. Well, in this case,
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: the Defense Authorsation Bill filled with stuff and things that
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: are not connected with the military and also are a
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: colossal waste of money. Hmm how about that.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 4: Good figure? And yeah, this happens right so often, is
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 4: that they wait till the last minute. Then they had,
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 4: you know, stuff, these bills full of things that have
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 4: nothing to do with the actual bill itself, and you know,
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 4: they really count on the last minute, and people aren't
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 4: paying attention. They're you know, Christmas shopping, doing whatever, And
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 4: well Christmas shopping is what Congress is doing to these
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 4: in these bills.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: No doubt. Well, I am so pleased me individually. I
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: am so pleased that the Defense Bill includes money money
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: to stop the spread of the greater banded hornet in
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: Guam Gwam, which parenthetically is going to tip over at
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: least a quord to one of our elected officials.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a defense priority, absolutely. I mean, you can see
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 4: the huge defense implications of this, of this particular. You know,
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 4: obviously it has no defense implications, and it's just a
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 4: convenient way to spend money and shove it in a
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 4: bill that you know, hopefully no one pays attention to.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 4: But we do. You do, I do, and you know
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 4: some other people do, but not enough people.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: Actually, no doubt, and Dave, you're always paying attention to it.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: I saw you're writing about this over protecting Taxpayers dot
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: org removing limits on funding for the world's fares. I'm
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: not even going to begin to question how that relates
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: to our national defense. Green Lighting the Young Balkan Leaders initiative,
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: I have no idea what that is, but it doesn't
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: involve anything here in the United States. And on top
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: of that, adding insult to injury, as you point out,
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: it doesn't even give a total dollar amount going to
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: those programs and probably a lot more so. Does that
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: mean unlimited funding or we just can't track it?
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the crazy part is when they don't even
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 4: put a dollar amount, because then it's open to the
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 4: discretion of the Department of Defense, I'm sorry, the Department
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 4: of War, or a member of Congress who will say, okay,
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 4: this is what I decide, and this is how much
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 4: mo is go to this initiative or this program. And
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 4: obviously that's no way to run a government.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: No way to run a government. You and I agree
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: all day on that one particular item that distressed you.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: The government run health services for the Native Americans, apparently
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: a failed program. But this defense bill builds upon the
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: healthcare system for Native Americans and the tribes and the
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: tribal lands they live upon. Again, how does that have
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: anything to do with defense?
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is the Indian Health Service and this thing
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 4: has been an absolute failure for Native Americans and really
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 4: concerned that. And listen, this is kind of the theme of
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 4: the past few months. Is healthcare right, whether it's Obamacare
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 4: now the Indian Health Services. We keep doubling down on
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 4: failed programs and we're just kind of chipping at the
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 4: edges here, whether it's Obamacare and here we're just adding
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 4: more money to the Indian Health Service and not looking at, Okay,
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 4: what's working, what isn't working? What is the best way
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 4: to have people, you know, provide healthcare for themselves right?
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 4: Because I'm not going to say have government provide healthcare
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 4: for people. We have to switch the discussion. We have
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 4: to switch the model here as to how can we
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 4: put health care back in the decision of the families
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 4: of people. And you don't do that by expanding subsidies.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 4: You don't do that by expanding the Indian Health Service.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 4: You do it through free market reforms, health savings accounts,
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 4: ways that people can really invest in their healthcare. In Congress,
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 4: and you know, Speaker Mike Johnson, you know he held
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 4: the line when it came to expanding Obamacare subsidies. Some
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 4: in his party were saying extend the subsidies. He held
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 4: the line on this. And I've been very critical Speaker
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 4: Johnson for a number of things that have happened this year,
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 4: but he really has done a good job with the
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 4: Obamacare subsidies. But Brian, we have to put these decisions
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 4: back in the hands of people, and right now healthcare
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 4: decisions really aren't in our hands.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: Well. And as you point out a lot of facts
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: that go along with your conclusions with regard to the
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: Indian Health Services, that you just get very poor health care,
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: and the IHS directly pays for the hospitals and the physicians. Now,
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: I've heard many many times and many many stories over
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: the years about the quality of physician that work for
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: the Native Americans, that they are not exactly the top
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: tier medical doctors. Quite often the worst of the worst
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: doctors end up as a government employee working in one
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: of these reservations and providing lower quality health care for them.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: It's just it's kind of like doctors of last resort.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: Is that part of the problem here, Dave.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 4: It absolutely is. And look at Department Veteran Affairs. You know,
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 4: we've had the same problem that our veterans are getting
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 4: just really awful health care service, and it's because it's
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 4: a government run. You have bureaucrats running this, and you know,
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 4: it's really again these common threats right across the government,
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 4: whether it's the Indian Health Service, the VA, Obamacare, we
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 4: see the same things happen. And that's why we have
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 4: to just fundamentally change the way that we think about
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 4: healthcare in this country. And for them to add this
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 4: into a defense bill, and let's go back to the
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 4: beginning of this. This is part of a defense build.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 4: This is not a standalone bill. This is not part
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 4: of a healthcare bill. This is part of a defense bill.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 4: It should not be in here. And the reason is
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 4: you have hundreds of billions of dollars in this authorization bill.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 4: You stick a couple of billion here and there. Seemingly
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 4: people won't notice. Obviously some people do. But the problem
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 4: is that Congress is just going to gloss over that
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 4: and say, well, for the defense of the country, we
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 4: have to pass all these things. The thing and Guam,
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 4: the Indian Health Service and all these things get signed
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 4: into law.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, since I do have the Cincinnativa folks
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: on regularly, I think they've done a good job, at
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: least here locally, providing at least a high level of
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: quality for our local veterans. That does not say that
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: all VA programs and hospitals do that, but I've talked
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: with them and interacted with them enough, and they have
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: such a high approval rating that least comfortable with our
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: local VA. Although I will acknowledge that there's probably a
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: better way like the IHS to deal with healthcare issues generally,
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: it's a much broader solution that's out there. And again,
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: your free market points are very very well taken. Dave
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: Volumes taxpay protection lines. Pause, We'll bring it right back
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: and talk about prescription drug price fixing. Higher education reform
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: and what is this the most act Don't go away
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: Stream seven nineteen fifty about CARCD talk station Protecting Taxpayers
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: dot org, the website for the Taxpayer Protection Alliance. We
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: need to hear from Dave Williams from time to time,
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: and I thoroughly enjoy the work that he does all
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: year long and the time he spends with you and me.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: And here he is on the phone, moving over to
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: something I've never quite understood, Dave delivering most favored nation
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: prescription drug pricing to American patients. That's the headline of
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: the or the name of the executive voted Donald Trump
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: signed earlier this year. So if they sell it cheaper
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: someplace else, then we get the cheaper price for pharmaceuticals.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: I know where you're going on on this, and I
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: don't disagree. How is it that we became we're the
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: full retail country for pharmaceuticals. We pay full retail and
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: the other parts of the world, Canada, most notably our
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: northern neighbor, gets a massive discount over what we're paying,
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: so much so that a lot of people go to
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: pharmaceutical pharmacies in Canada to get their medications because they
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: save a lot of money over what they would pay
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: down to the Walgreens on the corner. So how did
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: that situation arise? And I know we need research. Somebody's
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: got to pay a lot for the drugs because that's
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: what funds of pharmaceutical companies, But how did the rest
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: of the world get to benefit from us supplementing them?
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: That doesn't seem fair as a practical point at the outset.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really an interesting issue because we have pharmaceutical
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 4: companies that it takes them about twelve years and two
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 4: billion dollars to get a drug approved through the FDA,
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 4: and the rules are so stringent, and we're not talking
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 4: about safety has to obviously be concern number one, but
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 4: it's the efficiency of these drugs. If a drug is
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 4: ninety five percent efficient, then it will go to the market,
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 4: But if it's ninety four point nine or ninety four
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 4: point five, they have to go back to the drawing board,
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 4: go back to clinical trials. And we're getting to a
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 4: point where it's really tough to bring new medication, a
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 4: new drug to market, and this costs a lot of money.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 4: And now listen, everybody wants to low prices on drugs. Listen,
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 4: I want to low price on a car, but you
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 4: don't institute price controls because you make that product less
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 4: available in that country. Because if you said to you
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 4: know a car dealer or a car manufacturer, you know
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 4: a very expensive car, you know a car that's worth
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 4: seventy five thousand dollars, you can only sell it for
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 4: forty thousand dollars. They aren't going to sell that car
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 4: and you're going to have And it's the same thing
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 4: with prescriptions and with drugs. Well, that's why you can't
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 4: randate to the private sector.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: That's why Ford just pulled a plug, no pun intended
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: on the evs. The tax credit is expiring. The only
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: reason if anybody bought one of the first place, because
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: the seventy five hundred doll attachment. That is artificial manipulation.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: Well kind of along the lines of what we're talking
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: about here, is it not?
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 4: It absolutely is. And you know there's the pharmacy Benefit Managers,
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 4: a three forty B program that have distorted this market
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 4: and have made hospitals rich, and something we've talked about obviously.
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 4: You know how the hospitals have benefited off the three
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 4: forty B program and also the PBMs, the pharmacy benefit.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: How is that the PBM thing still a thing? Everyone
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: and his brothers, seems of all political stripes, will point
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: their fingers at that being an outrageous influencer over the
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: massive price increase we're paying the pharmacy. They're not even
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: a necessary component, are they?
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 4: They absolutely are not. And what I find this crazy
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 4: is every doctor in Congress, every member of Congress who
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 4: has a medical background, has been trying to get rid
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 4: of PBMs, has offered legislation, and for some reason, it
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 4: never gets a vote on the floor of the House
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 4: or the Senate. And we've partnered with some of these
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 4: folks in Congress, these members, you know, we've co authored
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 4: off eds and we've done everything we can, and it's
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 4: just there's not enough interest beyond the related medical Caucus
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 4: to get this done.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: We need Thomas Massey to issue a discharge petition.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, I love discharge petitions. I love the
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 4: pressure that it puts on the speaker, and it just
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 4: it's a wonderful tool, isn't it.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: It is? Now Dave Williams coming, you know, just I
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: just want to know, since you've been dealing with this
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: for a long time. Obviously, the will isn't there in
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: Congress to advance something that sounds like is the best
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: possible way of providing some measure of almost immediate relief,
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: getting rid of the PBMs. What articulated reason in defense
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: of PBMs has been given to you? Since you've been
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: doing this for a while, what do they say, No, No,
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: we can't do that, because.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 4: Well, there hasn't been an articulated reasons. It's just that
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 4: they won't bring this to the floor. And listen, there's
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 4: very powerful interest behind this. There's insurance companies and there's
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 4: hospitals on both issues. And that's why, because hospitals are
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 4: making a killing and listen, seriously, no pun intended on that,
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 4: but they are making a lot of money on the
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 4: three point forty B program because they get drugs at
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 4: dirt cheap prices and then they charge exorbitant prices either
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 4: for Medicare Medicaid or just for private insurance insurance. So
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 4: that's why this is happening. It's private, you know, the
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 4: insurance companies and hospitals. They're the ones that are lobbying
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 4: behind the scenes.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: The hospital lobby insurance companies. Yeah, well I think we've
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: identified a big problem in the room, and that's been
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: a predominant problem for a lot of issues. When it
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: comes to healthcare, it's the money. I mean, that's just.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 4: It's always followed the money. And you know what's happening
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 4: behind the scenes is a lot of lobbying. Money is
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 4: being spent, and again, consumers and taxpayers, they're the ones
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 4: that are suffering.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: Clearly, all right, going back, will the rest of the
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: world then start paying more for pharmaceuticals? I mean, is
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: that a product to the pharmaceutical companies negotiating with foreign
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: lands and giving them a much substanti a substantially reduced
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: price for these drugs because we're paying the full freight.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the other countries will always pay the lowest price.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 4: And listen, you know, Canada's healthcare system is obviously completely broken,
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 4: I mean even more so than ours. You know, we
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 4: have people coming to our country for brain surgery because
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 4: in Canada they're saying, well, it's a way to year.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 4: Well that's not exactly something you it should be, you know,
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 4: way to year for But and listen, I know someone
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 4: I've actually, you know, a friend of mine had to
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 4: come to this country for for surgery. So again their
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 4: system is more messed us in ours and they mandate
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 4: you know, they have even more socialist price controls in
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 4: places like Canada and Australia.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: Well, something perhaps even more mismanaged and screwed up the
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: higher education situation in our country. We're going to address
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: that with Dave Voyames from the Taxpayer Protection Alliance Higher
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: Education Reform. I think we definitely need it. What approach
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: does day fifty five KRC The Talk Station seventh thirty
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: fifty KRCD Talk Station, Happy Tuesday. Dave Williams, the Taxpayer
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: Protection Alliance. Huh, moving through the issues Higher Education Reformact.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: I think more and more people come to the realization
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: that the paying eighty one hundred thousand dollars or whatever
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: an annual tuition is at a higher institution is not
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: worth the money. Come out with a worthless degree in
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: many cases, and massive debt. But even if you come
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: out with a good degree, it's a lot of massive
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: debt and you are engaged in a four year propaganda exercise.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: Dave Williams, how do you fix this problem?
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 4: Wow, we're hitting all the biggies today, aren't were education?
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 4: I mean, this really is, and you know, the evidence
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 4: is clear over the past number of years. The more
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 4: subsidies and more loans that go out for a higher education,
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 4: the more expensive it becomes. I mean, this is just
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 4: common sense. But the studies, you know, show that. And
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 4: what the bind administration tried to do is say, really
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 4: create a divide between for profit and nonprofit education. Now
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 4: for profit be trade schools, right. The nonprofit are the
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 4: traditional Harvard, you know, the university systems, that's the traditional nonprofit.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 4: But he said, okay, if you are for profit, you
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 4: have to show that there's going to be gainful employment
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 4: after your education. And it's really tough to determine what
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 4: gainful employment really is. And I say, and we're going
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 4: to cut off these subsidies if there's not gain full employment.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 4: Why not do that for nonprofits?
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: Amen? I mean I was waiting for that set to drop.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: But what you mean it has to be opportunity for
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: gainful employment, not guaranteed you're going to get a job.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: Because if you go into a trade school and you
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: fail miserably and you can't perform the task you're being taught,
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: you're not going to get a job, even though there
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: might be you know, thousands of HVAC jobs out there,
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: or plumbing jobs or whatever. So I get the point.
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: You can't make that argument a not for profit school
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: because no one wants anyone with a sociology degree or
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: a degree in some humanities program because philosophy, Ye, philosophy.
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: How about my degree political science? Again, if I hadn't
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: gone a day I f didn't go to law school,
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: I have no idea what to be doing today. If
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: I had with my political science degree, it was my hobby,
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: it was a it was a it was a stepping
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: stone to do what I knew I was going to
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: do next, which was to go to law school. Otherwise
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: I probably would have gotten a degree in something that's well,
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: something that I could have been employed with.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 5: Well.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 4: And let's look at for profit and nonprofit. You have
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 4: a school like Harvard that has tens of billions of
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 4: dollars in endowment that is a profit. I mean, are
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 4: you kidding me? You look at these for profit trade schools,
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 4: they don't have that. I mean, it's just it's crazy
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 4: how things are turned on its head. But again, this
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 4: is the Biden administration applying rules for one set and
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 4: rules not and you know, not rules for the other
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 4: and this this should be across the board. And I
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 4: got to tell you, I think people coming out of
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 4: a for profit trade school have more of an opportunity
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 4: at gain full employment and people coming out of like
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 4: you said, it's philosophy degree of political science degree. Yeah,
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 4: it's it doesn't make sense apply the same rules across
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 4: the board.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: I couldn't agree with you more. And you know, it
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: seems to me it's almost like a fiduciary obligation or
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: an ethical obligation to sit down with an entering freshman
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: who has picked a major and go over it with
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: a with a counselor or something about the career prospects
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: for that person. I'm not going to tell you not
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: to get an art degree, young man or a young woman,
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: but here's the prospects an for a degree or for
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: your degree getting you into the field that you want
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: to study art. There are only three jobs available at
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: Salvabe's and all of them are filled. You know, you
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: know what docents make, They nothing. They work for free
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: at museums. Right, you got elderly, wealthy women who are
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: more than happy to go around and talk about abstract
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: art and not charge a dime for it, So there's
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: no career opportunity in that. That's a candid conversation that
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: everyone should be forced to sit through, so they contemplate
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: the prospects of their careers in the future and how
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: much in debt they're going to be when they get
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: out of college.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's absolutely no linkage between college and what they
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 4: do afterwards and their employment. And yeah, and jobs because
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 4: you have art history majors, and listen, if you want
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 4: to study that, fantastic, but understand what's going to happen
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 4: when you come out of college is that there aren't
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 4: a lot of opportunities for that. And listen, we also
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 4: live in a gig economy, Brian. People are doing things
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 4: outside of the education sphere, right they are. They are,
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 4: you know, foregoing any sort of formal you know, post
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 4: secondary or higher education, and they're doing great. You know,
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 4: some of our best entrepreneurs right now are not going
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 4: to college or going to you know, for profit or nonprofit.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 4: And I think we are shoving so much money into
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 4: these institutions and we're not getting anything out of it.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: Not getting anything out of a bunch of angry people
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: who are in debt with a degree that isn't worth
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: the paper it's written on. If i'd me be so bold,
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: And you know, you talk about degrees like art, and
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: I've said a bunch of times because my son's an
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: illustration of this. He quit college. You want to state university.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: He was in computer science, I mean, a legitimate degree.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of jobs out there for computer engineers.
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: He quit. Why I can teach this self. My I
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: can teach myself. Dad, This is a colossal waste of
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: my time and your money. And he went on and
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: he taught himself coding because he knew some of it anyway,
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: got some certificates for security. I mean, he's still in
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: the computer business, but he didn't have a degree. Now,
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: teach yourself. If you want to study Italian art and
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: you want a degree in Italian art history, then you
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: know you can do that on your own, right, Dave.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, the books are all out there. You don't
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: need a teacher to prepare a curriculum. Compare your own right.
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 4: And understand the consequences of that.
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, Yeah, all right, Can you stick around for one
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: more to tell us about the sumosa? Are you about wonderful?
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: One more? We're going to find out what in the
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: hell is this Somosa Acting KARCD talk Station seven. If
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: you got KRCD talk station Happy Tuesday, Ryan Thomas. One
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: more segment here with Dave Williams from the Taxpayer Protection
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: Alliance again online at Protecting Taxpayers dot org. Real quick
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: before we get to Simosa Acting. What that is? Dave,
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: I've been on a real tear of late for obvious reasons,
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: with all the stories in the news about fraud, waste
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: and abuse, people builking the system. Whether you go up
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: to Minnesota and see what's going on there, we find
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: out more and more people took advantage of this parole program.
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: You got child molesters getting involved, and no one did
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: any oversight. No one was looking out for fraud, waste
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: and abuse. No one bothered cross referencing or checking people's identities.
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: Social security numbers use thousands of times dead people's social
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: security numbers. This is an easy fix with AI these days, Dave,
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: letting departments share information when, Dear God, when will our
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: elected officials put first and foremost avoiding and preventing as
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: item number one, the ability to engage in fraud, wasted
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: abuse in any government program. Because Oh, come on, they're
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: all there to serve someone who desperately needs a government program.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: Aren't we harming those people the most by allowing this
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: to go on?
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 9: Dave?
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 4: We have the technological tools to do this. The government
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 4: chooses not to use them. And it's frustrating because if
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 4: you look at you know, child safety, any of these issues,
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 4: every dollar that is wasted is a dollar that is
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 4: not helping somebody, and it's it's frustrating as heck. And
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 4: it's just there's no excuses for this, and absolutely no excuses.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 4: We have phones, you know, the phone that I'm using
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 4: right now has amazing technical capabilities, yet the government is
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 4: still stuck in almost the nineteenth century at this point.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 4: So I look at the IRS. The IRS has software
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 4: that is fifty or sixty years old. How does that happen?
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 4: How does the government allow that to happen? Fifty or
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 4: sixty year old software as one of the most important agencies,
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 4: the IRS.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 1: And they want to take over doing our tax returns
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: for us? Dave, Yeah, we'll get right on that, all right.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: Thank you for letting me get that out of my system.
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: I have been on a bit of a tear lately
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: on that so strengthening agency management and oversight of software
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: assets SOMOSA Act. What's this?
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 4: You know, Brian, we've talked a lot about difficult issues healthcare, education,
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 4: this is not This is about looking at the software
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 4: that the government owns and just making it more efficient
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 4: and saying, listen, we spend ten to fifteen billion dollars
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 4: on software software licenses.
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 13: What is.
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 4: And just doing an inventory, were talking about five hundred
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 4: to seven one hundred and fifty million dollars a year
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 4: could be saved on licenses, on software licenses. This is easy, man,
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 4: This is super easy.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: It really is, all right. So it always points when
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: you have something that seems so crystal clear and seems
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: so objectively bipartisan to be a good idea, what kind
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: of trouble you're running into getting some traction on this one?
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: Or is it a bipartisan supported piece of legislation.
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 4: It is bipartisan. And what I think what happens is
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 4: that they run out of time. I look at this year, right,
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 4: what there's a month and a half of a government
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 4: shutdown and nothing happened. This would have been a great
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 4: time for the Speaker to have hearings, to hold hearings
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 4: on the Somosa Act and to be ready for this
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 4: to be introduced right after the government shut down, you know, finished,
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 4: So there's been opportunities to do this, and again it's
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 4: just to malaise the slowness. You know, the Congress moves
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 4: like the continents. It's just so slow. But you know, hopefully,
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 4: and you know it was, it's being introduced this week
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 4: again and hopefully we'll get a vote by the end
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 4: of the year.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: Well, and you know, to people's point about the imperial presidency,
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: it's that slow pace and that inability to get anything
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: logical and reasonable done. Ignore the politically charged issues out
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: there in the world where you have massive division. If
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: you got something so simple, easy and important and beneficial
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: to everyone, like this the most Act, you'd expect them
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: to act on it right away. But since they don't,
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: this invites well executive action. I mean, I know, people
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 1: say Trump exceeds his authority and his boundaries, and even
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: I say that from time to time as well. But
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: that's what people want political expedients, and you're that's going
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 1: to not necessarily near to our collective benefit down the
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: road if it has to continue.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 4: And they want leadership, they want leadership out of the House,
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 4: the Senate and the White House, and again, a lot
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 4: of things we don't like. You know, the President's dealing
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 4: with tariffs, but you know, Mike Johnson and you know
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 4: John Thune. We need leadership from those bodies to really
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 4: put these things through. And again, this is not a
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 4: discussion we should be having, right because Democrats support this,
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 4: Republicans support this. This should have been done a long
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 4: time ago. And you know, hopefully, listen, I don't want
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 4: to be too much on Pollyanna here, but it's the
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 4: end of the year. They are bringing this back for
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 4: a vote on the floor, so maybe maybe we'll see
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 4: some movement.
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 1: Well, I was getting ready to point a finger at
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: Speaker Johnson because he has the power and authority to
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: either bring something for a vote or not. That's why
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: we talked about the discharge petition before, because it takes
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 1: that authority out of his hands. But at least he
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: is bringing this for a vote, is what I'm understanding.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 4: Yep, absolutely, all right, listen, I've been critical of Speaker
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 4: Johnson too, but hopefully, you know, this is one thing
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 4: he can get right.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: I would hope, so we could use some bipartisanship, especially
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: along these lines. How's this looking in this Senate comparable
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: perspective in the Senate? That is bipartisan support?
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 9: It is, it is.
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 4: We do have bipartisan support it in the Senate also,
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 4: And I think, really now it's a matter of time
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 4: because times, you know, the clock is ticking on the
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 4: end of the year. So fingers crossed on this one.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like that's not a strategy. Dave, keep up the
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: great work. I certainly appreciate you you're doing at the
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: Taxpayer of protect Alliance. And again I'll encourage my listeners
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: to bookmark your web page Protecting Taxpayers dot org. Until
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: we talk again, I doubt it's before the end of
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: the year because I'm off after the twenty third, but
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: looking forward to another series of discussions in the next county.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 4: Your Dave, have a wonderful Christmas you and your family.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: Right back at you, my friend, Merry Christmas to you
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: and everybody at the organization seven forty six right now,
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: if if do you five K seat seven to fifty one,
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: if if you have a car seat talk station, no
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 1: bright Bart insight scope. The planning person I found out
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: a little while ago the person responsible for scheduling is
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 1: on vacation or otherwise off, so sadly no inside scoop
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: with bright bart news over the top of the or
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: Hew's giving us some time to talk. If you'd like
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: to call, feel free to do so. Five on three, seven, four,
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: nine fifty, five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: three talk or go at pound five fifty on eighteen
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 1: and t punds. We will get the Daniel Davis Deep
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: Dive with retired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis at eight thirty
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: and are asked the expert from gastro Health topic your
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: conversation that took me as a surprise, hemorrhoids yep, eight
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: fifty for that. Apparently they got some treatments for that,
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: and apparently according to the notes I've been given, a
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: lot of people have a problem with them. So any hey, listen,
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: I just show up and look at the rundown and
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: deal with it as I go. So we'll do that
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: at the end of the next hour. Ah Okay, guns
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: will kill people. People kill people, and people are motivated
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: by something like political philosophies quite often. So we have
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 1: Islamic extremist killing a bunch of Australians, most notably the
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: Australian Jewish population. We have fifteen fewer of them and
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: forty injured. Two bat crap crazy Islamic fundamentalists opening fire
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: on innocent, unsuspecting Jews enjoying the first day of Hanukkah.
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: It's a horror show. Now you are talking about the
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: most gun controlled country in the world. Practically, I may
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: be overstating the case anyway. Of course, in the aftermath
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: of that, in spite of the fact that they already
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: have some of the toughest gun controls in the world,
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: Prime Minister Anthony Albany is talking about strengthening the country's
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: gun laws in the aftermath of this father son pair
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: killing a bunch of Jews on the beach. Hmm. Some
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: government leaders proposing restricting gun ownership only to Australian citizens. Well,
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: isn't that xenophobic? And does that mean Australian citizens would
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: never engage in this kind of conduct. None of them
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: will lose a screw and kind of go shooting on everybody.
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: Some government leaders proposing what they say are additional use
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: of criminal intelligence. That's in quotes in deciding who was
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: allowed to get a firearms license, which could hypothetically have
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: meant that this twenty nineteen investigation into the twenty four
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 1: year old murderer from the other Day, son of the
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 1: fifty year old late Sojian Achron both apparently radicalized and
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: took avouta isis. They investigated because of his suspicious associates
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: and they didn't follow through with it, or otherwise he
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 1: fell off their radar. But they're suggesting that his involvement
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: with the nefarious elements of the world, in spite of
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: the fact that led to nothing, might have disqualified the
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: father from owning the gun. Slippery slope that one not
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: sins of the father and sins of the sun anyway.
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: Under the National Firearms Agreement, which was post nineteen ninety
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: six massacre in Port Arthur, Tasmania, which meant one guy killed,
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 1: thirty five people wounded a whole bunch of others, gun
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: ownership explicitly made a privilege. They had some buyback programs
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: and voluntary surrenders which apparently more than a million firearms
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: were then destroyed. In order to possess a firearm in Australia,
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: you have to have a firearm license and demonstrate at
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: least one, and according to legislation, genuine reason for ownership
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: that doesn't include self defense. So I guess the police
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: get to determine what is genuine and what is not.
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 1: We of course enjoy the right to keep them back
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: arms in this country, and I appreciate that, But isn't
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 1: it the motive that we need to be looking at
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 1: since guns don't get off the ground and automatically go
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: around start shooting people. Yeah, but they can be used
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: by people with evil motives, right, Yes, so can a
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 1: lot of other things, like bombs, for example, baseball bats,
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 1: bass guitars. I know they're not as effective killing as
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: anything else, but there are a whole bunch of mechanisms.
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: Like the folks that were busted out in Los Angeles,
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 1: what were they gonna use? Nope, not guns, bombs, iedes.
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: The Turtle Island Liberation Front describes an extreme extremist group
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: motivated by pro Palestinian anti law enforcement, anti government ideology, notably,
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: and by their own words, Marxists who want to bring
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: down capitalism and filled with rage and hate, organizing the
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 1: murders of a whole bunch of people at various events
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 1: on New Year's Eve in and around the Greater Los
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 1: Angeles area with bombs. So you see, getting rid of
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 1: the guns ain't going to solve the problem of murders
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 1: committed by organizations who wish to do you harm for
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 1: whatever political or twisted ideology they happen to have. So
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 1: getting rid of guns is not going to solve the problem.
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 1: And can I ask out loud again please, where in
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 1: God's name were the Australian Police Department during all of
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 1: this ten plus minute open fire season on the Jewish
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 1: people in trying to enjoy Honikah. Yeah, you don't have
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: any guns rights there basically in Australia, so you got
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 1: to rely on the police department. Where in the hell
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 1: were they? You had a thousand Jews gathering on the
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: beach at Honukah in a country that has a lot
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: of anti Semitic activity of recently, over the past year,
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 1: two years, three years, a lot of people complained to
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 1: the Australian government didn't do enough to stop anti Semitism.
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 1: Oh sure, they're paying lip service to it now, But
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 1: if you're a Jew in Australia and your government isn't
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: saying a word about the anti Jewish sentiment, that's in
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 1: the world. Wouldn't it be a nice thing to be
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 1: able to defend yourself? Seven fifty six, Feel free to call.
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 1: I got more to talk about between now and Daniel
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 1: Davis deep dive at eight thirty. I hope you can
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 1: stick around.
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 12: Today's tough headlines coming up.
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 1: Six if you about par CD Talks Nations Brian Thomas
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 1: wishing everyone a very happy Tuesday, inviting you to stick around.
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 1: Pop in the hour. Who are gonna hear from or
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: retired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis get the deep dive on
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 1: what's going on? Of course Russia Ukraine? Are we going
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 1: to provide a defense agreement for Ukraine which is like
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: an Article five NATO kind of thing, meaning we would
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: come to the aid of Ukraine in the future after
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 1: any settlement or any resolution of the war is entered
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: into should Russia attack again. It's kind of like being
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: part of NATO, although it's expressly states this new phase
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 1: of the negotiations that Ukraine will not be part of NATO.
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 1: So I'm really interested in hearing what Lieutenant Colonel Daniel
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 1: Davis has to say about that. Retired at the bottom
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 1: of the hour five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: five hundred, eight hundred and two three talk and thank
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 1: you Maureen. We were speaking about higher education with Dave
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 1: one ms one of my favorite topics of late because yes,
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of worthless degrees out there, lots
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: so going to college, get a degree in something you
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 1: enjoy doing. But unless there's a job opportunity waiting for
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 1: you on the other side, then it was kind of
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: a pointless gesture. Might have made you feel good about
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 1: learning something about what you think is a neat thing
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 1: to learn about, like art, but if you're not going
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 1: to be employed, why would you go into debt to
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 1: do that? So, you know, food for thought and continuing
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 1: a theme anyway, she sent me this good story whether
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 1: it's true or not, but it does sum up the
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 1: reality of the value of work as compared to perhaps
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 1: a college degree. Anyway. Originally posted under mister common Sense
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: and thank you Mareen for Ford and Long. She said,
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 1: I came across this last week and I thought of
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 1: your program in this segment that you just did, so
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 1: let me just have at it. The man in the
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: three thousand dollars suit glanced in my hands before he
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: even looked at my face. Maintenance is down the hall,
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 1: he said, politely, air conditioning issue. I knew exactly what
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 1: he saw. Knuckles scarred from decades of wrench work, hands
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 1: thick from turning bolts in freezing truck stops, A permanent
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: line of grease beneath my nails that even my best
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 1: scrubbing cant erase. I looked at his hands, smooth manicured,
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 1: topped off with a heavy gold watch. No, sir, I said,
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 1: my voice a little too loud for the pristine high
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: school library. I'm here for career day. I'm Jason's. He
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: blinked and gave a stiff smile, but his eyes said
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 1: what he didn't you really? My name is Mike Rowley.
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 1: I'm fifty eight years old. I've been a long haul
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 1: truck driver for thirty years. I'm a widower, veteran, and
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 1: a dad who tries his best. My son, Jason, attends
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 1: this polished suburban school where everything smells like new textbooks
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 1: and wealth. This was Sarah's school, my late wife. She
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 1: taught here, loved here, lived here, and after she passed,
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 1: the school created a scholarship in her name. So when
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 1: Jason told his teacher, I was a logistics and supply
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: chain specialist and should speak at career day. I felt
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 1: like saying yes was a way of honoring her. I
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 1: parked my old F one to fifty between a luxury
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 1: SUV and a spotless German sedan, walked in wearing my
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 1: best jeans, fresh flannel and boots. I'd shine twice. Inside
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 1: the library, the lineup of presenters read like a magazine cover.
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 1: Doctor Chen neurosurgeon open with a futuristic video on brain mapping.
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 1: Mister Davies, the finance dad with a gold watch, followed
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 1: with stocked charts and phrases like leveraging capital in Q
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 1: four positioning. Jason sat in the back row, shoulders hunch,
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 1: wishing he could disappear. Then the principal touched my arm,
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 1: mister Riley, you're next. I walked to the front of
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 1: the room with nothing but my own voice, no slides,
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 1: no videos, just the truth. Good morning, I began. My
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 1: name is Mike Riley. I'm not a doctor or an investor.
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 1: I didn't finish college. I'm a truck driver. Murmurs curious glances,
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 1: a few raised eyebrows. My son calls me a logistic expert,
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 1: which I guess means I drive a very big truck
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 1: a very long way, and I figure, I'm here to
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 1: explain why that matters. I turned to doctor Chen. What
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 1: you do saves lives, but the tools you use, every circuit,
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 1: every wire, every plastic casing. These didn't appear out of
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 1: thin air. Someone packed them in a crate. Someone loaded
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 1: that crate onto a truck, and someone drove it across
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 1: the country. Then nodded toward the finance Dad. And so
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 1: those numbers you showed, they represent real things, food, medicine, steels, supplies.
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 1: This country doesn't run on unlimited Wi Fi and spreadsheets.
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 1: It runs on wheels, on people willing to travel thousands
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 1: of miles. So shelves stay full and hospitals stay stocked.
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 1: And the room grew still. In March twenty twenty, I said,
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 1: when everything was shut down, you stayed home. You did puzzles,
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 1: baked bread, but drivers were told to keep going. It
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 1: felt like I was the only person on the highway.
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 1: Some days. I delivered forty thousand pounds of toilet paper.
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 1: Once my dispatcher cried on the phone because her own
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 1: mom couldn't find any. You can't zoom a bag of
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 1: flour and you can't download hand soap. Students lean forward,
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 1: Teachers nodded. Two winters ago, I was hauling insulin across Wyoming,
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 1: A blizzard shut the interstate. I sat in that cab
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 1: for three days, twenty below zero, listening to the hum
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 1: of the refrigeration unit. Unit died, so did the medicine.
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 1: I wasn't thinking about the cost. I was thinking about
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 1: the family waiting for it. I scanned the room. Jason
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 1: was sitting up straight now. A student in a future
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 1: CEO shirt raised his hand, sir, don't you regret not
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 1: going to college? My dad says, jobs like yours mean
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 1: people who didn't have other choices. And then the room froze,
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 1: smiling gently the sun. When the lights go out, you
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 1: call alignment, not a business professor. When the pipes burst,
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 1: you don't read reach for a textbook, you call a plumber.
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 1: And when you walk into a store expecting food on
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 1: the shelves, you're relying on farmers, factory workers, warehouse crews,
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 1: dispatchers and drivers like me. Those careers aren't fallbacks, they're foundations.
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 1: A voice spoke out from the back, quiet at first,
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 1: my mom's a dispatcher. A skinny kid stood up, eyes shining.
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 1: She works nights, holidays. She's the one who finds drivers
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 1: when hospitals need supplies. People yell at her all the
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 1: time when packages are late, but she keeps going. She
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 1: isn't less important than anyone else. He looked at the
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 1: CEO shirt. Kid, she's a hero, and so is he.
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 1: He pointed at me. The room fell silent, then applause,
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 1: real heartfelt applause. Jason walked up and stood beside me.
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 1: He didn't speak, he just put his arm around me,
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 1: and that was enough. Later, on the drive home, he
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 1: finally said, Dad, I had no idea what you've done
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 1: out there. It's just a job, I said, no, it's
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 1: so much more. And here's the truth. The country isn't
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 1: held up by titles or corner offices. It's held up
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 1: by calloused hands, tired feet, and people who show up
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 1: in storms and shutdowns in the middle of the night
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 1: when no one else can. They're not the backup plan,
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 1: we're the backbone. So next time you ask a young
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: person what they want to be, don't you say where
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 1: are you going going to college? Try asking what do
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 1: you want to build? What do you want to keep running?
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 1: What will you help carry and if the kid says,
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 1: I want to weld, I want to fix engines, I
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 1: want to deliver supplies. I want to drive trucks like
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 1: my dad, look them in the eye and say, this
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 1: country needs you. We're counting on you. Thank you, Maureen
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 1: for passing that along. It makes a profound point. Again,
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 1: whether or not it's real or not, it's immaterial to
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 1: the point it makes think long and hard. I just
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 1: think of my listening audience, and you probably have children
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 1: or grandchildren, maybe entering the college age and struggling over
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 1: what they want to do. There's a wealth of opportunity
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 1: out there in the trades. I hear it from people
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 1: in the trades all the time. I expect my friend
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 1: Jeff to chime in right now over mark on tool
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 1: machine tool operators, see and see operators. And I think
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 1: of my friends at the plumbing program, and they have
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 1: the apprentice program, and you can be a plumber, you
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 1: can be an electrician. These are great careers that you
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 1: can earn while you learn. You're not in debt. When
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 1: you finish the program, you're ahead of the game with
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: money in your pocket and an opportunity for a career. Employment. Employment,
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 1: and career. And these folks that do these trades cannot
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 1: be replaced by artificial intelligence AI, as the guy pointed
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 1: out in the little anecdote, is not going to fix
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 1: your pipe in the middle of winter. Those people should
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 1: be valued. We've discounted the need and the value of
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 1: trades for so long, belittling them because now you got
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 1: to get a college education. Listen, man, I was caught
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 1: up in that too, graduated from high school in eighty three.
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 1: That was the path that everybody took, though they did
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 1: have a trade school Diamond Oaks, and I imagine those
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 1: folks fared pretty damn well in their lives too. Food
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 1: for thought. All it is appreciated. Five one three, seven

  Speaker 1: was hoping who was lifting? I did mention Jeff and
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 1: talking about the trades mark on tools. Jeff got back
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 1: with me, Jeff thanky, he said, I was hoping. He said,
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 1: you're correct. We desperately need more people to go into
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 1: the skilled trades. And thanks for recognizing as always, You're
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 1: more than welcome, Jeff. It just seems like such a
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 1: wonderful opportunity for so many young people. You know, really
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 1: does anyhow, And you know, it's like marketing. We we've
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 1: marketed college education is the end all be all. I mean,
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 1: check with the people who got the degrees that aren't
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 1: employed or are working as I don't know to belittle baristas,
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 1: but whatever, you know, it seems to be the default
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 1: thing to point to. You knows a lot of belittling
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 1: over those types of jobs too. They were supposed to
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 1: be startup jobs. Those jobs were not meant for career opportunities.
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah whatever. Moving over though, this kind of freaked me out.
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 1: And I will spring from when I was getting cancer
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 1: treatments over to OHC. So I'm getting my bag of
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 1: cancer treatment laying in the room with the rest of
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 1: the cancer treatment folks, and you know, it's a depressing
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 1: thing to have to go through. Thankfully, didn't have it
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 1: nearly nearly as bad as others, and I always got
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 1: to reflect on that when I was getting my cancer treatment.
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 1: But every once in a while you got to use
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 1: the restroom. So I wheel my little IV unit on
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 1: the wheels over to the restroom, close the door, and
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 1: there's that sign on the wall chemo patients please flush twice.
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 1: And I always looked at that like that freaked me out. Now,
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 1: I assume there's some reason, like splashing up or worrying
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 1: about other people coming in after you that are going
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 1: to be exposed to the chemotherapy. But where do the
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 1: water go? And do sewards treatment plants get rid of
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 1: chemo agents in drugs. That's a legitimate question. I still
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 1: haven't found the answer out to that. If you know,
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 1: if you work for a water district, I'd love to
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 1: find out, because I got this article here, and yes
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 1: it's a pro life group and they're worried about you know,
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 1: it's a sensationalized argument, but it reveals a more profound
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 1: concern that you know, at least I have over this
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 1: name of the organization's Students for Life of America urging
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 1: the EPA to add the abortion meta medication methapristone to
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 1: a federal list of drinking water contaminants that public utilities
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 1: are required to monitor add it and so they got
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 1: you know, they make their argument, and I understand that
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 1: what might that do if it was found in the
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 1: water that we drink from our tap after it's already
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 1: gone through water treatment. EPA Press Secretary Bridget Hirsch said,
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 1: The Office of Water said confirm. The Office of Water
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 1: said the agency takes the issue of pharmaceuticals in our
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 1: water system seriously and employs a rigorous science based approach
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 1: to protect human health and the environment. Great fine statement saying,
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 1: as always, EPA encourages all stakeholders invested in a clean,
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 1: safe drinking water to review the proposal and submit comments.
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 1: Fine request targets of process governed by the Safe Drinking
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 1: Water Act, which requires the EPAH to periodically order public
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 1: water systems to test for here's the operative word certain
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 1: unregulated contaminants to help the agency decide whether future rules
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 1: are warranted. The current monitoring cycle focuses largely on pfas
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 1: and chemicals or chemicals, and carcinogenic chemicals and chemicals, and lithium.
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 1: According to the FDA, if pristine used with another drug
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 1: well for clinical care early pregnancy laws so there are
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 1: multiple uses for one of the two drugs that's used
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 1: as an abortion instigator, but that aside, it is a
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 1: growing phenomenon using this particular drug. Students for Life argue
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 1: to multiple venues that the environmental law should play a
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 1: larger role in regulating abortion pills. But see that's their avenue.
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 1: They want to monitor for this because they don't like
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 1: the underlying drug. But what about all the other categories
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 1: of drug that may not be on this Safe Drinking
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 1: Water Act list? And that's where the worry comes in.
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 1: FEA previously rejected a a petition back in twenty twenty three.
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 1: It was tied to this particular organization, writing that it
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 1: offers only conjecture their concerns about whether or not this
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 1: drug enters our drinking water systems, offers only conjecture about
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 1: quote unknown harm the citizens and animals alike, and provides
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 1: no evidence that bodily fluids from patients who have used
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 1: myth for personal are harming the aquatic environment. So the
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 1: absence of a study showing that these elements are dangerous
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 1: or harmful to us if we drink them, a study
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 1: apparently that hasn't been done, or I imagine this Students
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 1: for Life would have presented a study saying this is
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 1: dangerous to us. So because they're only guessing and they
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 1: don't offer any evidence that it is harmful, then they're
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 1: not going to bother going after and looking after it.
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 1: Going back to my chemo in the water, are they
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 1: looking for that? Is there a way of filtering that out?
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 1: And the whole world is taking some kind of pharmaceutical
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 1: another antibiotics. We have all these these psychological drugs that
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 1: people are taking, depressants and ADHD medications. I mean one
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 1: in four kids are all on these. That's all entering
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 1: the water system. Is it being filtered out? Is this
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 1: potentially a pathway to find out why our health is
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 1: generally failing in this country. I don't know, but this
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 1: kind of thing's scared. There's a living crap out of me. Yeah,
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 1: let's get the CO two out of the air though. Okay,
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 1: let's just do that first and then we'll worry about
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 1: all these other things that might propose a genuine, real
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 1: time risk to our health and we'll deal with that
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 1: down the road once this pro life organization comes up
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 1: with a study. Hey, twenty five right now, Daniel Davis

  Speaker 1: get to talk to retire lie Kenned, Lieutenant Colonel Daniel
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 1: Davis and doing what he calls in his podcast, what
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 1: I call the alliterative podcast. It is the Daniel Davis
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 1: Deep Dive. Welcome back, my dear friend. It's always a
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 1: pleasure to have you on the fifty five KRS Morning Show.
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 12: I look forward to this more than my own shows.
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 1: I think, y you're so kind, Daniel. I enjoy the
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 1: back and forth. Although we haven't been able to solve
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 1: the problems in the world over the year or two
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 1: that we've been doing this, it is a thoroughly welcome
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 1: exchange of well real time and genuine information about what's
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 1: going on in the world. I see Donald Trump and
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with Ukraine and the efforts to negotiate
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 1: a peace deal. Between Ukraine and Russia. This, obviously you've
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 1: been talking about for a very long time, the United
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 1: States providing a security guarantee for Ukraine. I'll la Article
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 1: five of the NATO Defense Alliance Treaty. This requires NATO
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 1: country and much in the if they were a member
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 1: of NATO, it would go along with the security guarantee.
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 1: If one country gets attacked, we all come to the defense.
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 1: This is not Ukraine joining NATO but getting the benefits
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 1: of the Article five security agreement, which means, effectively, aren't
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 1: they getting the best benefit of being a NATO country
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 1: without formally calling them that.
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 12: Well, listen, Briana, I'm gonna put this in the category
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 12: of I'll believe it when I see it, right, because
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 12: I mean, we're not gonna President Trump has been emphatic
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 12: from the beginning of saying that the NATO is a
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 12: no go, that NATO was one of those strong causes
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 12: of this war in the first place because of the
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 12: threat that Russia felt. He said he understood that. So
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 12: the last thing I think that he's going to do
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 12: is to give any kind of a security guarantee that's
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 12: quasi NATO, whether you call it NATO or not. But
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 12: if it has anything like an actual Teethy article five,
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 12: I just can't see. I mean, I literally see no chance.
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 12: So I hear, I've seen those statements in report press reports,
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 12: but nobody has provided the details yet of what that
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 12: actually means, what it looks like. And I imagine when
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 12: you do, you'll see a whole lot of water being
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 12: poured on some of these guarantees, because I don't think
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 12: they're gonna be worth the paper they're written on if
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 12: they ever even see the light of day.
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough, And we'll wait to see what happens
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 1: with that, because that's the concern I have. That's effectively
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 1: that's our that's our for rate into World War three,
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 1: right there, much in the same way if they were remember.
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 12: Now, and plus Russia would never agree to it. If
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 12: you're looking for something that people are going to agree to,
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 12: they would never agree to that. So it's dead on a.
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 1: Rival, all right, fair enough?
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 1: The other thing I wanted to pivot over to along
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 1: the same lines, this art Wall Street Journal article from yesterday.
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 1: After a Generation of Peace, Europe tells it's people to
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 1: prepare for war. They are ramping up their concerns. All
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 1: the elected officials, folks of the European Union about well,
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 1: the Russians are coming over the hill. They're getting ready
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 1: to invade US. And Frederick Mertz to Germany the Chancellor.
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 1: If Ukraine falls, he won't stop putting, just like the
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 1: student plan wasn't enough. In nineteen thirty eight, referring to
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 1: Adolf Hitler's invasion of portion of Czechoslovakia, NATO Secretary General
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 1: Mark Ruddy said, conflict is at our door. We must
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 1: be prepared for the scale of war our grandparents and
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 1: great grandparents endured. I mean, they're talking World War three
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 1: level conflict here now. During our prior conversations, Daniel, you've
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 1: kind of suggested, and I've been tending to agree with you,
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 1: that Russia is not to invade Poland, which was one
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 1: of the countries they said was gonna be the next
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 1: Domino to follow or to fall. It's taken them so
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 1: long to accomplish what they've gotten in Ukraine so far.
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 1: If they do attack a NATO country, they have all
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 1: of the NATO countries under the Article five Security Agreement
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 1: coming up to defend whichever country is attacked first. It
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 1: doesn't sound like a recipe for success with Russia. I
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 1: don't know. That's why we've got you, Daniel Davis.
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 12: Yeah, and listen to all those things you just mentioned.
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 12: Add this morning you had the new head of MI
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 12: six say that Russia is the pacing threat and the
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 12: biggest concern that they have on an intelligence basis, and
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 12: then Air Vice Marshall for the UK said that, listen,
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 12: we have to be ready to second, I'm not making
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 12: this up, sacrifice our sons and daughters if necessary in
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 12: order to keep us safe from Russia. We're that kind
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 12: of an issue. So it's gaining momentum, all these threats
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 12: and warnings etc. That they're openly telling their people and
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 12: they have to be ready to sacrifice their sons and
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 12: daughters for this war that should never be fought. So
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 12: the issue is quite alarming and it's something that needs
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 12: to get cushed quickly. But look Russia has said, and
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 12: just in the past I guess seven or eight days,
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 12: Putin has said again mocked, he goes this idea, I
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 12: don't why would I even want to go into any
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 12: of your countries? We don't. And then he said, but
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 12: if you come to us and you fight us, we
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 12: will fight. We are ready today and we will fight
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 12: that war. We don't want to, but guaranteed that we will.
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 12: And when you look at their capability, and I'm talking
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 12: to you not just how many tanks, planes and troops
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 12: that people have. Those are important, but what is crucial,
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 12: absolutely vital in a war of potential war of attrition,
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 12: is to your defense industrial base and how many men
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 12: you have. And Russia dwarfs the entirety of NATO in
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 12: those categories, and of course they have all the combat
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 12: experience and we have almost none, just little inciliary by
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 12: watching Ukraine, but that's about but none of us actually
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 12: doing it. So we are not ready to fight a war.
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 12: And if people want to get one and start one,
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 12: we're not going to do well in this. Let me
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 12: just tell you right off the bat.
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 1: Well, then, what is the purpose of all this what
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 1: I will call dangerous rhetoric from the European Union elected officials?
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 1: Why are they ramping up all this talk?
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 12: It is insane, I'll just start right there. It is
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 12: insane because there is no reason whatsoever to have to
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 12: even think about fighting a war with Russia. There's no
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 12: reason why they would want to. There was a lot
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 12: of reason why they would want to go into the
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 12: Donbos area. Why they would want to go into party
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 12: of Ukraine. They've been signaling that for fifteen years prior
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 12: to this one. They had always signaled the opposite here,
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 12: So there's no reason that's important, first of all. But secondly,
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 12: what I think is going back to February twenty twenty two.
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 12: I'm sorry to April twenty twenty two, when we had
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 12: a chance to have a negotiated settlement and the UK
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 12: and the Biden administration both worked against it and sabotaged it.
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 12: Zielinski was this close to agreeing to it. They convinced
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 12: him to sabotage it, and then they said, no, let's
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 12: defeat them. So twenty twenty three they want to have
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 12: this big offensive to drive Russia out. It totally failed,
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 12: and ever since that time, Brian, they've been trying to
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 12: make up good for it and not be seen as
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 12: being weak that we are, and so they keep doubling
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 12: down on the failure. And now then this particular failure
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 12: would be the worst of all because you could literally
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 12: spawn a war between us, which all too easily could
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 12: go nuclear. It's terrible.
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 1: Well, that's exactly the way it sounded to me. And
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 1: so I was looking for you for some guidance on that.
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 1: So we both reached the same conclusion. And the article
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 1: points out over and over again they're literally going to
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 1: have to scramble to fortify their not only the soldiers
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 1: on the ground, they have very small armies. They're going
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 1: to maybe start talking about conscription and have in some countries,
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 1: and they're desperately in need of military hardware and supplies
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 1: if they want to wage a war. It seems logistically
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 1: they couldn't wage one if they had the will to
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 1: do it. On top of that, the Gallop survey from
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 1: the European Union says that only thirty percent of the
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 1: people will be even willing to take up arms to
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 1: defend their own countries. That is a sorry state of affairs.
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 12: Well, it is, yeah, And you know the reason why
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 12: Germany's having this big problem here there. Maritch is talking
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 12: about all this big coffee cocky stuff about wanting to
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 12: be the power, the main military power on the continent,
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 12: stuff using big, you know, illustrative language. A lot of
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 12: people in the europe are going, yeah, you go ahead
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 12: and do that. That's cool, But the problem is that
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 12: he can't make good on it. Because they're having a
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 12: problem economically to be able to create that. And then
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 12: nobody wants to sign up for this. So, as you
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 12: just pointed out, they're gonna have to have force conscription
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 12: or they're just not gonna get there because the people
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 12: don't see a need for this. They see the same
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 12: thing you do. They think, what in the world are
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 12: you talking about. I don't want to war with Russia.
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 12: They don't want to war with us. No, this is stupid,
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 12: don't do it. And I think that ultimately that's going
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 12: to be and I hope this comes to the political
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 12: downfall of all these governments in Europe that want war
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 12: and they're putting for this. Eventually that people are going
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 12: to say, you're stupid man, I don't want you govern
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 12: uhing and so they're going to fall out of the
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 12: next election. We just have to hope that happens before
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 12: they actually get people sucked into a war.
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, and you mentioned it, I mean the
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 1: undercurrent of you know, by getting more soldiers, however, they're
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 1: going to accomplish satur buying more war materials, spending more
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 1: than a percentage of their economy that translates into cuts, cuts,
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 1: and they're already over extended, bloated, impossible to sustain social
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 1: welfare safety in net. So if the European people, the
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 1: European Union people are subjected to a choice either we
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 1: build our military up and you cut social welfare, or
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 1: will continue with these outrageous rates, which parenthetically are unsustainable anyway,
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 1: and not build up our military, they probably go.
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 12: With the latter now, and that's I think why the
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 12: Air Vice Marshall today in the UK was trying to say, listen,
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 12: you have to be ready to sacrifice your sons and
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 12: daughters because otherwise they're coming for us, because you have
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 12: to create this fear that, oh my god, well maybe
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 12: we do have to make these sacrifices. I'm not remember,
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 12: but a couple of days ago UK was also one
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 12: of the UK leaders was saying, look, we have to
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 12: be ready to make a lot of sacrifices, you know,
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 12: in our economy, in our way of life, and maybe
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 12: even our lives, because that's how big the risk is
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 12: and it's real, et cetera. So it's scaring some people,
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 12: but I think most people are going I'm looking at
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 12: I just don't see it. I think there's something wrong
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 12: with you. And I hope that that holds sway.
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe that answers the question that we're struggling with
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 1: is why in the hell are they are they worried
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 1: about Vladimir Putin and raading Europe. If you use this
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 1: argument that we are under this existential threat from Russia,
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 1: we are going to have to cut maybe that's the
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 1: only Maybe that's the point. It will provide a mechanism
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 1: to justify their cuts to this bloated, out of control
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 1: social welfare system that so many people are on that
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 1: can't be sustained, right, I mean it will.
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 12: But you know, one of the other things it's irony
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 12: I think is falling is being consciously aware of a
• 2:09:57
  Speaker 12: lot of these European populations, is are going hang on,
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 12: hang on. You just marcked men wi Macron in particular,
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 12: you just mocked the Russians because they're so pathetic that
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 12: they've only taken one percent of the territory in the
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 12: last two full years of fighting. And then at the
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 12: same time you're telling me, oh my god, they're coming
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 12: to London and we have to be ready for that.
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 12: That doesn't make any sense at all. And yet those
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 12: contradictory messages are both being shouted by the European leaders.
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 1: Well at least you and I see through it. Daniel Davis,
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 1: Daniel Davis.
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 12: The day, A lot of people do.
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know the Daniel Davis Deep Dive. Find him
• 2:10:33

• 2:10:48
  Speaker 1: to the forty years fifty five kr SE detalk station.
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 6: This is fifty five KARC and iHeartRadio.
• 2:10:54
  Speaker 1: And no pun intended on that maybe painful. Doctor Rashimi Tataparthi,
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 1: she is a gasher and turologists with gastro health here
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 1: to talk about the very delicate subject. But we've got
• 2:11:04
  Speaker 1: to talk about it considering the number of people who
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 1: struggle with it. Doctor Tata party hemorrhoids, I guess are
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 1: a real problem for a lot of folks. Welcome to
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 1: the fifty five CARSE Morning Show.
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 13: Thanks Rian, thanks for having me. My name is rosh
• 2:11:16
  Speaker 13: me Taty Party and I'm a gastrointrologist with the Gastro
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 13: Health Network in Cincinnati. You're absolutely right. A lot of
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 13: patient deals with hemorhoid symptoms, but they're embarrassed to talk
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 13: about it. It's a very common problem, and it's a
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 13: very treatable problem, so I hope people will reach out
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 13: and talk to us about it. Symptoms can include literally
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 13: pain in the rear end, pain in the buck it
• 2:11:37
  Speaker 13: changed see pitch swelling, and occasional bleeding.
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 4: The ball movements.
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 1: Well, we all have to have those, so I imagine
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 1: the problem is just an ongoing one unless you get treatment.
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 1: How do hemorrhoids develop? What is as I understand the statistic,
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 1: half of adults over the age of fifty deal with
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 1: hemorrhoids at some point, so clearly a very common, as
• 2:11:59
  Speaker 1: you treatable problems. How do they start and or develop
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 1: in the first place?
• 2:12:03
  Speaker 13: Doctor, Well, great question, Brian. Hemrots are extremely common. They
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 13: developed and women, especially after pregnancies, but a very common
• 2:12:12
  Speaker 13: causes constipation, pushing, straining with bowel movements. Sometimes jobs that
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 13: involve for long standing, prolonged you know, sitting or even
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 13: heavy lifting. You know, any of these factors can lead
• 2:12:25
  Speaker 13: to gradual build up of these hemorrhoids.
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 1: So I suppose it's the strain that we're putting on
• 2:12:30
  Speaker 1: our lower areas.
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 13: That's exactly right. These are extremely thin walled, delicate blood
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 13: vessels present on the inside of the anal canal. Pushing
• 2:12:39
  Speaker 13: straining prolong standing pregnancies can lead to excess engagement and enlargement,
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 13: which then causes symptoms of bleeding, itching, pain.
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 1: All right, and Guestor Health does have their drug therapy.
• 2:12:54
  Speaker 1: There's surgical, non surgical treatments. There are others, but let's
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 1: start with you mentioned the stool dietary changes. I would
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 1: imagine incorporating a higher level of fiber into one's diet
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 1: would be a strong recommendation.
• 2:13:07
  Speaker 13: Yes, that's exactly how we start at gastro Health. We
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 13: offer the full range of treatment. We start with dietary counseling,
• 2:13:14
  Speaker 13: lifestyle modification, topical therapies, and now we have exciting new
• 2:13:18
  Speaker 13: therapies that include minimally invasive non surgical treatment. The newest
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 13: treatment that we're offering is an IR guided embolization. It's
• 2:13:27
  Speaker 13: a non surgical, minimally treatment option. It's done by one
• 2:13:31
  Speaker 13: of our interventional radiologists, and this includes a painless way
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 13: to obliterate these puffy dilated blood vessels in the inside
• 2:13:39
  Speaker 13: of the anal canal. And it's image guided, so we
• 2:13:43
  Speaker 13: approach them under extraight and we put tiny coils to
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 13: obliterate these blood vessels on the inside of the anal canal,
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 13: so that you know, you get long lasting relief from bleeding, itching,
• 2:13:55
  Speaker 13: and pain. We also offer hemorrhoid binding and other treatments.
• 2:13:59
  Speaker 13: We tailer the treatment to the patient after the consultation.
• 2:14:02
  Speaker 1: Of course, Now in terms of the hemorrhoid embolization you
• 2:14:06
  Speaker 1: spoke of again, you said non surgical and you would
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 1: describe them minimally invasive procedure. I have to ask, first off,
• 2:14:13
  Speaker 1: is it painful? And second off, how quickly do do
• 2:14:16
  Speaker 1: patients normally achieve results from that particular procedure.
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 13: So it's actually pretty pain it's painless. Patients are sedated
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 13: and they also get a local anesthesia. It's the same
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 13: day procedure outpatient procedure. Most patients can actually go back
• 2:14:30
  Speaker 13: to work the same day or at least the next day,
• 2:14:33
  Speaker 13: resume normal activities. Definitely, it's a day or two and
• 2:14:37
  Speaker 13: not weeks like a typical surgical procedure would be okay.
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 1: Now, in terms of that drug therapy, I'm thinking the
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 1: vast majority of us would not like to have to
• 2:14:47
  Speaker 1: go through surgery if there's a less invasive procedure. So
• 2:14:50
  Speaker 1: you mentioned the hemorrhid embolization a nonsurgical procedure. Are there
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 1: drugs that can solve this or deal with this problem?
• 2:14:56
  Speaker 1: Because I think the world knows about preparation age, but
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 1: is there anything else down on the world that can
• 2:15:00
  Speaker 1: help you.
• 2:15:02
  Speaker 13: Know, Actually, drugs, unfortunately I'm not do not provide long
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 13: lasting relief because these are hemorrhoids that are excessively in gorge.
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 13: These these are swollen. So you know, drugs like topical
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 13: steroids which we typically use, can provide temporary relief in
• 2:15:17
  Speaker 13: reducing inflammation irritation, but you know, it's like putting a
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 13: band aid, it comes right back. So I think if
• 2:15:24
  Speaker 13: you're having persistent symptoms, you definitely should seek attention and
• 2:15:28
  Speaker 13: consider one of these newer treatments that can help you
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 13: get rid of it. The other thing, also I want
• 2:15:34
  Speaker 13: to make sure to mention is that because of the
• 2:15:36
  Speaker 13: rising incidence of colon canter among young adults. If you
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 13: do notice ructle breeding, make sure you get evaluated and
• 2:15:43
  Speaker 13: confirmed that it is indeed hemorrhoids and not something else.
• 2:15:46
  Speaker 1: That sounds like very sound advice. Now, in terms of
• 2:15:50
  Speaker 1: surgical treatment, what might that involve. I'm guessing, as you said,
• 2:15:54
  Speaker 1: you tailor whatever therapy to the individual. So someone comes
• 2:15:58
  Speaker 1: in there that would qualify. Maybe the non surgical hemorrhoid
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 1: embolization procedure might not be recommended. The surgical option is
• 2:16:05
  Speaker 1: what does that involve? Doctor?
• 2:16:07
  Speaker 13: So you know, we do offer nonlurgical hemorrhoid banding if
• 2:16:11
  Speaker 13: the symptoms are predominantly prollapsed and swelling, highly effective nonsurgical treatment,
• 2:16:17
  Speaker 13: and then hemorrhoid embolization is also extremely effective for painless
• 2:16:21
  Speaker 13: and painless for bleeding. But if some patients have hemorrhoids
• 2:16:24
  Speaker 13: that are really large or even external, then we would
• 2:16:28
  Speaker 13: refer them to a surgeon for hemorrhoid actomy. Most patients
• 2:16:32
  Speaker 13: would prefer to avoid that because it's extremely painful and
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 13: does involve several weeks from downtime too. So if you know,
• 2:16:39
  Speaker 13: if you are a candidate, then you would definitely choose
• 2:16:41
  Speaker 13: the non surgical options that we have to offer.
• 2:16:43
  Speaker 1: Doctor, Tata parthy. It sounds painful, just the way you
• 2:16:46
  Speaker 1: presist the name of the procedure, God Almighty. All right.
• 2:16:49
  Speaker 1: I think it's an important thing to ask doctor if,
• 2:16:53
  Speaker 1: assuming you're dealing with the pain and all the other
• 2:16:56
  Speaker 1: issues that are associated with this, the pain in the
• 2:16:58
  Speaker 1: butt that hemorrhoids happen to be if left untreated, are
• 2:17:02
  Speaker 1: there broader health implications for my listeners who are dealing
• 2:17:05
  Speaker 1: with this if they're like, I don't want to call
• 2:17:06
  Speaker 1: a hemorrhoid doctor. I'm being embarrassed, or well, I don't
• 2:17:09
  Speaker 1: want to do that. Bigger problems down the road doctor.
• 2:17:13
  Speaker 13: You know, great question, and this is exactly what many
• 2:17:16
  Speaker 13: patients ask me. The answer is very simple. If you're
• 2:17:19
  Speaker 13: dealing with symptoms now, it's just going to get worse
• 2:17:22
  Speaker 13: if you continue to ignore it, because anything that you
• 2:17:25
  Speaker 13: use over the counter is usually just a temporary relief,
• 2:17:29
  Speaker 13: especially if you are constipated, you're pushing your straining. The
• 2:17:33
  Speaker 13: hemorrhoids will gradually increase in size and just get worse
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 13: with time. So it's better to address it now if
• 2:17:38
  Speaker 13: you can.
• 2:17:39
  Speaker 1: It's not going to get any better, I guess. Although
• 2:17:42
  Speaker 1: you do recommend lifestyle changes and I suppose first order
• 2:17:45
  Speaker 1: of business if you can solve the problem through the
• 2:17:48
  Speaker 1: lifestyle and dietary changes, that's the avenue I would imagine
• 2:17:51
  Speaker 1: most people want to go down. So, in addition to
• 2:17:53
  Speaker 1: incorporating more fiber into the diet, what else do you
• 2:17:56
  Speaker 1: recommend for folks out there who might be going hmm,
• 2:17:59
  Speaker 1: what can I do before I see gastro health about
• 2:18:02
  Speaker 1: the problem.
• 2:18:04
  Speaker 13: So the big thing I always tell my patients is
• 2:18:06
  Speaker 13: don't push downstream and you have bowel movement, make sure
• 2:18:09
  Speaker 13: your tool is soft. Also, don't use social media on
• 2:18:13
  Speaker 13: the toilet seed. You know, find a different spot the
• 2:18:17
  Speaker 13: love When you sit on the toilet seed. Meddling through
• 2:18:20
  Speaker 13: your phone the greatest pressure on the hemorrhoids, and these
• 2:18:23
  Speaker 13: are going to get larger.
• 2:18:25
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry I left so loud about that. Doctor. I'm
• 2:18:28
  Speaker 1: not going to name him because he may be listening.
• 2:18:30
  Speaker 1: One of the lawyers that I used to work with
• 2:18:32
  Speaker 1: when I was a law student. He'll be in there
• 2:18:35
  Speaker 1: for about an hour every day, doctor, And that sounds
• 2:18:38
  Speaker 1: like a bad idea. And this is before social media.
• 2:18:41
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, that.
• 2:18:42
  Speaker 13: Is definitely a bad idea. If you're reading your newspaper
• 2:18:45
