- 0:09Speaker 1: Five O five A fifty five k r C the
- 0:14Speaker 1: talk station.
- 0:17Speaker 2: Happy Tuesday, and that's the way the news goes Bigfoot.
- 0:35Speaker 1: I guess I'm sorry. I just found this article on
- 0:40Speaker 1: zero head who believes in Alien's big Foot and choop
- 0:43Speaker 1: of Cobbird. I asked Joe if he'd seen it, and
- 0:45Speaker 1: he goes, oh, they were talking about big Foot in
- 0:46Speaker 1: the overnight show, the Coast to Coast Show, which I
- 0:48Speaker 1: always make fun of.
- 0:49Speaker 3: Hu huh.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Anyway, Happy Tuesday. Brian Thomas right here, that's me, host
- 0:54Speaker 1: fifty five morning show. Feel in a good position to
- 0:56Speaker 1: do that. And as I look down to the rundown
- 0:58Speaker 1: this morning. At the tale end of the show at
- 1:00Speaker 1: eight thirty, as is the case every Tuesday, Daniel Davis
- 1:02Speaker 1: Deep Dive with retired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis. We'll talk
- 1:06Speaker 1: about Roan, we'll talk about Mexican. I'm glad to see
- 1:08Speaker 1: Mexico on the list there, given what's happening, and I
- 1:11Speaker 1: wish all the best to President sein Baum and dealing
- 1:13Speaker 1: with the cartels. Finally they're dealing with them at least
- 1:16Speaker 1: in some measure, and let's hope that effort continues and
- 1:19Speaker 1: we're helping them widely reported our US intelligence work to
- 1:22Speaker 1: help find the Hollisco cartel head and blow him up.
- 1:27Speaker 1: So good anyway, that's my take on it, abbreviated as
- 1:30Speaker 1: it is. We'll get the latest on Russia and Ukraine.
- 1:32Speaker 1: You know, it's this is the fifth year. This is
- 1:36Speaker 1: the fifth year. I just can't believe that much time
- 1:41Speaker 1: has flown and that that conflict is still going on.
- 1:44Speaker 1: I mean, how much time did you think it would
- 1:45Speaker 1: take for Russia to roll over Ukraine? Assuming nobody else intervened,
- 1:48Speaker 1: And obviously nobody really has. Obviously we threw a lot
- 1:51Speaker 1: of military hardware the direction, but we haven't put boots
- 1:54Speaker 1: on the ground. Neither has the European Union and in
- 1:55Speaker 1: the NATO country. So okay, who thought the massive, nuclear
- 2:00Speaker 1: powered Russia would take four plus years to conquer Ukraine?
- 2:05Speaker 1: And the loss of life is reportedly, oh my word,
- 2:08Speaker 1: it's insane. Russian military casualties total sum this accord to
- 2:14Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal. I'm just giving James Mason, who's
- 2:17Speaker 1: the author of the article, as war enters, fifth year
- 2:19Speaker 1: Ukraine shows Russian victory has anything but inevitable. Draw your
- 2:23Speaker 1: own conclusions about the predictions, but one point two million casualties,
- 2:30Speaker 1: with three hundred and twenty five thousand deaths on just
- 2:32Speaker 1: the Russian side, more than double the numbers for Ukraine's.
- 2:40Speaker 1: That's the least according to information from the nonpartisan Center
- 2:44Speaker 1: for Strategic and Intelligent Studies. Listen, I'm just passing along
- 2:48Speaker 1: the figures. That's an amazing loss of life anyway. Daniel
- 2:58Speaker 1: Davis on that at eight thirty, preceded by the Inside Scoop.
- 3:00Speaker 1: It is Tuesday, we get the Inside Scoop, Bright part
- 3:02Speaker 1: News Today. White House correspondent Nick gilbertson, We're talking about
- 3:05Speaker 1: the state of the Union tonight. He's going to be
- 3:07Speaker 1: give us his insight, and I guess what he expects,
- 3:10Speaker 1: what he thinks. Trump's gonna go over. How long it's
- 3:12Speaker 1: gonna last. I think the last one was ninety minutes.
- 3:14Speaker 1: And Trump does have a way of going off to script.
- 3:19Speaker 1: Love him or hate him, there is a reality that
- 3:21Speaker 1: Trump goes off script. I sometimes wish that he wouldn't.
- 3:24Speaker 1: Here we hear one of his press conferences. I appreciate
- 3:26Speaker 1: his willingness to speak off the cuff and not rely
- 3:29Speaker 1: on a teleprompter. Unlike prior ministrations. Boy, they couldn't do
- 3:33Speaker 1: anything that was unscripted, and that really bothers me. A
- 3:36Speaker 1: politician who's incapable of taking questions off script and dealing
- 3:39Speaker 1: with matters offscript, to me is someone who shouldn't be trusted.
- 3:43Speaker 1: And then there's Donald Trump, who will literally spend an
- 3:46Speaker 1: hour going off script. Tom Zwastowski the Return of We
- 3:50Speaker 1: the People Convention dot Org. Tom z Awastowski also on
- 3:52Speaker 1: the State of the Union. He'll be on at seven thirty.
- 3:54Speaker 1: I'm going in reverse order. Also, can he explain the
- 3:58Speaker 1: Republican Party in Ohio's endorsement Roberts Brigg over Marcel Stirbit
- 4:03Speaker 1: Sprague won't come on the program. I asked Joe about
- 4:05Speaker 1: this the other day. A least Joe chimed in and Saidney,
- 4:07Speaker 1: we've asked him a bunch of times, won't come on
- 4:09Speaker 1: the program and listen, that's okay. I don't feel like
- 4:12Speaker 1: anybody needs to be on the fifty five Carosey Morning Show.
- 4:16Speaker 1: If you choose to, in many cases, it's going to
- 4:18Speaker 1: be a okay unless you've, of course, to some callers
- 4:21Speaker 1: out there have been banned from the program for whatever
- 4:23Speaker 1: reason it may be, or maybe for cursing on the air.
- 4:27Speaker 1: But he is a Republican and usually I think most
- 4:32Speaker 1: most are in a safe space here on the fifty
- 4:35Speaker 1: five Casey Morning Show, although I will ask any questions
- 4:37Speaker 1: that I think that come to mind. Marcel Sturbage has
- 4:40Speaker 1: been on. He fielded questions wonderfully. Quite impressed I was
- 4:45Speaker 1: with his ability to talk about the subject matter, the
- 4:47Speaker 1: importance of things, you know, his background, why he's running
- 4:51Speaker 1: for office. So, but a lot of concern and a
- 4:57Speaker 1: lot of among my listening audience, why would the Republican
- 4:59Speaker 1: part not allow a primary to go forward? Why can't
- 5:03Speaker 1: we exercise our choices in the primary and suggest to
- 5:06Speaker 1: the Republican Party what the Republicans who voted to the
- 5:09Speaker 1: primary want. Good question, have you asked Alex Trump to
- 5:14Speaker 1: feed a little be on the program lately? Joe now recently? Well,
- 5:18Speaker 1: maybe we can get him on. There's obviously a decision
- 5:21Speaker 1: making process that goes into whether they will or will
- 5:24Speaker 1: not endorse ahead of a primary. So there's one we'll
- 5:27Speaker 1: talk with Tom about that preceeded by the taxpayer protection
- 5:29Speaker 1: lines Dave William protecting taxpayers dot org and what does
- 5:34Speaker 1: Dave want to hear out of the State of the
- 5:35Speaker 1: Union address tonight? So anyway, Bigfoot, can we just start
- 5:43Speaker 1: off on a lighter note. I am surrounded by well
- 5:46Speaker 1: we'll call heady intense, problematic news stories. This one is
- 5:55Speaker 1: not so using data from you Gov, here we go aliens.
- 6:02Speaker 1: A lot of people believe in aliens. That's okay. I
- 6:05Speaker 1: think in the background is what do you believe? You
- 6:08Speaker 1: haven't seen any of this stuff, none of it, but
- 6:13Speaker 1: do you believe that it may be out there, definitely
- 6:18Speaker 1: exists or probably exists. And that's where we find that
- 6:23Speaker 1: at least it's sins as far as aliens. Fifty six
- 6:26Speaker 1: percent believe extra extraterrestrials definitely or probably exists. And I
- 6:31Speaker 1: think I can certainly understand that on some level, given
- 6:33Speaker 1: the vast, insane size of the universe, you'll be humbled
- 6:39Speaker 1: as a human being if you take any effort at
- 6:42Speaker 1: all to really calculate how big we are on this
- 6:45Speaker 1: planet relative to everything that's around us. So in a
- 6:48Speaker 1: world that is so overwhelmingly huge that you can't even
- 6:52Speaker 1: fathom it, yeah, there's probably some kind of life floating
- 6:55Speaker 1: around out there, but you are not certain. Oh there's
- 7:01Speaker 1: a video, Yeah, well okay, sometimes that can be explained away.
- 7:04Speaker 1: Bigfoot twenty eight percent of Americans say Bigfoot probably or
- 7:13Speaker 1: definitely exists. And this is when I step back. You're
- 7:15Speaker 1: not talking about something out in the great wide world
- 7:18Speaker 1: to hear the universe. You're talking about something on our globe.
- 7:21Speaker 1: And last time I check, Joe, are there are a
- 7:23Speaker 1: lot of cell phones and photographic devices out there. They've
- 7:28Speaker 1: been around for a long time, haven't they one or two?
- 7:31Speaker 1: And people carry them literally wherever they go, literally everywhere
- 7:35Speaker 1: they go. Not a single credible video or a photograph
- 7:42Speaker 1: of Bigfoot floating around out there. You kind of wonder
- 7:46Speaker 1: why that is so. Bigfoot good luck. Chupa cabra that
- 7:54Speaker 1: translates to goat sucker in Spanish, said to attack livestock,
- 7:59Speaker 1: particularly Latin America in the Southern United States tubacabra. Sixteen
- 8:03Speaker 1: percent believe it exists. Sixty percent say it does not.
- 8:07Speaker 1: And I'll go back to the idea that have you
- 8:08Speaker 1: ever seen one of the answer, of course, no, I haven't.
- 8:15Speaker 1: I can't believe people even believe in Bigfoot anymore. Anyway,
- 8:19Speaker 1: you choose, well, maybe to your own embarrassment, whether you
- 8:22Speaker 1: want to believe in something like that fun fact. Just
- 8:24Speaker 1: thought I throw it out there temporary is temporary? Right,
- 8:27Speaker 1: doesn't the word temporary suggest that it is not permanent?
- 8:29Speaker 1: Isn't that by definition what it is temporary? So if
- 8:34Speaker 1: something is temporary, don't hang your hat on it, because
- 8:36Speaker 1: temporary is not permanent. Ergo it may go away. Governor
- 8:40Speaker 1: de Wine's upset. What is with his connection with the
- 8:44Speaker 1: Haitian community anyway? So Governor de Wine the other day
- 8:47Speaker 1: criticizing Trump's well ending temporary protected status for Haitians, he says,
- 8:53Speaker 1: it's wrong. Talk with CBS News face the nation. He
- 8:57Speaker 1: was defending Haitians living or working lead in Ohio, and
- 9:00Speaker 1: there's that word. My immediate reaction to that was because
- 9:03Speaker 1: I forgot what temporary protected status is. And then it's like, oh,
- 9:08Speaker 1: that's right. If you declare a nation and the individuals
- 9:11Speaker 1: coming from that nation to be subject to temporary protected
- 9:14Speaker 1: status that gives them the right to work in this country,
- 9:19Speaker 1: take away temporary they no longer have the right to
- 9:21Speaker 1: work in this country. They're in the category of illegal immigrant, which,
- 9:24Speaker 1: of course even Zohan Mandami recognizes does not allow you
- 9:28Speaker 1: to work lawfully in the United States. A lot of
- 9:33Speaker 1: folks in Springfield operating I guess on temporary protected status.
- 9:40Speaker 1: I think the policy to revoke it is wrong. I
- 9:42Speaker 1: don't think there's a consensus for taking people who are working,
- 9:46Speaker 1: who are supporting their family. And we've kind of seen
- 9:48Speaker 1: it in almost a micro way with the Haitian community
- 9:51Speaker 1: that's come into Springfield. Springfield industrial city, manufacturing city that
- 9:55Speaker 1: was down, it has been coming back, and frankly, one
- 9:59Speaker 1: of the reasons that's coming back is because the Haitians
- 10:01Speaker 1: who are working there. So I think the policy is wrong.
- 10:03Speaker 1: I guess I wonder in a world where there was
- 10:05Speaker 1: no temporary protected status for the Haitian community, would those
- 10:10Speaker 1: jobs have gone have been left empty? If Springfield is
- 10:16Speaker 1: a manufacturing city that was down and has been coming back,
- 10:19Speaker 1: would that reality have been there or would have taken
- 10:22Speaker 1: place the coming back part in the absence of the
- 10:26Speaker 1: influx of twenty thousand or so Haitians into the Springfield community.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Would Springfield have remain static and dying and dead, even
- 10:33Speaker 1: though clearly there is a demand there for jobs to
- 10:36Speaker 1: be filled. I can't answer that question, but all I
- 10:40Speaker 1: know is you can be upset about the temporary status
- 10:42Speaker 1: being removed. The fact is temporary is indeed temporary. Administration's
- 10:47Speaker 1: change policies change, and you can't rely on something that
- 10:50Speaker 1: is fundamentally not secure. So people who are fixing up
- 10:59Speaker 1: how this, opening restaurants, spending money and filling jobs that
- 11:02Speaker 1: couldn't be filled before. That's what Dwine said. We need
- 11:07Speaker 1: them in a Hio. We're a state that is far
- 11:10Speaker 1: h that is far our out. Our influx of people
- 11:12Speaker 1: coming into state last year, seventy percent of those individuals
- 11:14Speaker 1: were four and born. They're giving us vibrancy and helping
- 11:18Speaker 1: us and the fact that their working creates other jobs. Frankly,
- 11:22Speaker 1: well again, I just really question out loud, and I'd
- 11:28Speaker 1: love to know the answer. Wouldn't those jobs have been
- 11:33Speaker 1: filled on their own in the absence of the influx
- 11:37Speaker 1: of the Haitian community. Answer the question, please let me know.
- 11:40Speaker 1: I'd love to hear from you. Five one three, seven,
- 11:41Speaker 1: four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three
- 11:43Speaker 1: talk found five fifty on your AT and T phones.
- 11:46Speaker 1: Got plenty to talk about this morning. I hope you
- 11:48Speaker 1: can stick around.
- 11:49Speaker 4: This is fifty five KRC and iHeart rate the happy
- 11:53Speaker 4: one for you.
- 11:54Speaker 1: Five one three seven fifty five hundred eight hundred eight
- 11:56Speaker 1: two three Talk found five fifty on AT and T
- 11:58Speaker 1: phones score on the phone to what Jay's got this? Jay,
- 12:01Speaker 1: welcome to the Morning Show. Happy Tuesday to you so Bigfoot,
- 12:04Speaker 1: schuopercabra or aliens.
- 12:08Speaker 5: Well, Brian, you don't know this, but I am a
- 12:10Speaker 5: level thirty seven cryptozoologist. The nice thing about fake degrees
- 12:16Speaker 5: is that you can just give yourself now and then
- 12:18Speaker 5: give yourself a high level. So you're talking to an
- 12:21Speaker 5: expert this morning.
- 12:22Speaker 4: There you go with a level so set.
- 12:24Speaker 5: I'm also a level seventy three homeopath if you need
- 12:27Speaker 5: some holistic healing. So how high I'm a man of many.
- 12:31Speaker 1: Talents, Jay, Since you're making things up? How high can
- 12:33Speaker 1: you go in homeo homeopathic ratings? If your level seventy plus,
- 12:38Speaker 1: does it go up to one hundred? What's the scale
- 12:40Speaker 1: on that?
- 12:42Speaker 5: No, Actually, seventy three is the highest it's ever been
- 12:45Speaker 5: achieved by mankind up to this point. So that's something
- 12:49Speaker 5: Ohio has to be proud of. Besides Dwine's illustrious career
- 12:53Speaker 5: as governor, which good segue, Man, I have yearned to hear.
- 13:02Speaker 5: Are we not saying phrasing anymore? You made my life
- 13:05Speaker 5: worth living.
- 13:06Speaker 1: I'm achieved.
- 13:09Speaker 4: Self actualization.
- 13:10Speaker 5: On Madlow's pyramid mag just think I got there well
- 13:12Speaker 5: real quick.
- 13:13Speaker 1: Jay on Haitian and Haitians and governor Wines, the Wines,
- 13:17Speaker 1: you know, praise for them and can concern or anger
- 13:19Speaker 1: over the ending of TP of status for them, I do.
- 13:22Speaker 1: And thank you to Mike who pointed this out of
- 13:23Speaker 1: a sort of a rhetorical question of what he has
- 13:25Speaker 1: about the Haitian people. I know he and his wife
- 13:28Speaker 1: made missionary trips to Haiti for a long period of time.
- 13:30Speaker 1: That was their personal cause. So if we took Haiti
- 13:33Speaker 1: out and we made it any other country on the
- 13:35Speaker 1: planet Venezuela and temporary protected status ended or whatever, would
- 13:39Speaker 1: he be making these pleas and this expressing this exasperation
- 13:42Speaker 1: over the ending of that status since we don't have
- 13:44Speaker 1: a massive quantity of people from any other country living
- 13:48Speaker 1: in Springfield.
- 13:48Speaker 4: Question Mark, absolutely not.
- 13:52Speaker 5: This is exactly what it looks like, which is a
- 13:54Speaker 5: governor putting his own preferences, spending on high own money
- 14:01Speaker 5: and on his own preferences on some people group that
- 14:05Speaker 5: he wants to support to his hometown, which is Springfield.
- 14:09Speaker 4: So this is.
- 14:10Speaker 5: Bringing slave labor, low cost labor into the hometown folks
- 14:14Speaker 5: to maybe help I don't know, spike to start the
- 14:17Speaker 5: economy or improve the economy in Springfield. And my question
- 14:21Speaker 5: is day, so.
- 14:23Speaker 1: You're telling me that all these folks that are laboring
- 14:26Speaker 1: and working and providing for their families in Springfield are
- 14:29Speaker 1: of the Haitian community, that they are working for less
- 14:32Speaker 1: money than Americans would have worked for, I mean, lawful
- 14:37Speaker 1: citizens in the United States.
- 14:39Speaker 5: Huh yeah, yeah, that's true. And it's a shame we
- 14:44Speaker 5: don't have an attorney general or an auditor of state
- 14:50Speaker 5: or do we?
- 14:51Speaker 6: No?
- 14:51Speaker 5: Actually, I think we are paying for that, aren't we.
- 14:54Speaker 5: But boy, they are absolutely useless, you know, Dave Yost
- 14:58Speaker 5: and Keith Faber. I guess they roll up to the governor.
- 15:02Speaker 5: They shouldn't, but it seems like they will just do
- 15:04Speaker 5: Dewines bidding and look the other way. I would love
- 15:07Speaker 5: to know how much medicaid for aud is happening in
- 15:10Speaker 5: DeWine's hometown of Springfield, where his favorite favorite people group,
- 15:14Speaker 5: most favorite people group, Patians are and how much are
- 15:17Speaker 5: we spending on all of that would be a great question,
- 15:20Speaker 5: maybe for an auditor at attorneys General. They know this
- 15:24Speaker 5: is going on. This is the problem with the Ohio
- 15:26Speaker 5: Party and Brian, I've got a great idea how we
- 15:29Speaker 5: solve everything. Can we just spand Ohio and dissolve it
- 15:32Speaker 5: and just call it northern Florida or sell ourselves to
- 15:35Speaker 5: Tennessee or Texas, one of those three. Let's just dissolve
- 15:38Speaker 5: this damn thing. We don't need this government in Ohio.
- 15:41Speaker 5: And whatever comes out of Tallahassee, Florida that Ronda Santus
- 15:44Speaker 5: wants to do, just apply it to us and we'll
- 15:47Speaker 5: be done with it. And I think that's how we
- 15:50Speaker 5: get less government for a bigger land.
- 15:51Speaker 1: Mask are you suggesting the Florida voters are smarter than
- 15:54Speaker 1: Ohio voters?
- 15:55Speaker 5: There, Jay, I'm saying economically, they seem to get more
- 15:59Speaker 5: right than wrong. Run where we're you know, well, I
- 16:03Speaker 5: think I think. I think for every dollar the day
- 16:05Speaker 5: spend and federal are are on state state tax, they
- 16:09Speaker 5: get fourteen dollars back in GDP, we're about six.
- 16:13Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, you know, listen, there's a playbook out there.
- 16:17Speaker 1: We could follow, maybe the playbook like of that Isuella
- 16:21Speaker 1: and go the way of socialism and watch our economy collapse.
- 16:24Speaker 1: Or we can follow the path that has been laid
- 16:26Speaker 1: before others like, for example, maybe they are running things
- 16:29Speaker 1: better than Ohio. In Florida. Let's take a look at
- 16:32Speaker 1: the numbers going money coming in, money going out, size
- 16:35Speaker 1: of real estate taxes, size of income taxes and all that.
- 16:37Speaker 1: Let's wait a second. How is it that a state
- 16:40Speaker 1: like Florida can manage the way they are running their
- 16:43Speaker 1: face so successfully and yet not have the level and
- 16:47Speaker 1: the onerous level of property tax and income tax burden
- 16:49Speaker 1: like we have in Ohio. It's really amazing, isn't it.
- 16:53Speaker 7: It is?
- 16:53Speaker 5: And they're getting ready to end their property tax too.
- 16:56Speaker 5: I'm down here right now on business listening to you
- 16:58Speaker 5: on iHeart Cool. They're getting ready to end there, and
- 17:00Speaker 5: they probably will do it. We probably will talk about
- 17:03Speaker 5: it and they get scared and the voters will, you know, geez,
- 17:05Speaker 5: I don't know. Maybe we ought to keep it. So
- 17:08Speaker 5: I'm thinking we just dissolved Ohio and just a land mass.
- 17:12Speaker 5: We just hook ourselves they're the best state in the
- 17:14Speaker 5: Union and say we'll be part of that.
- 17:16Speaker 4: Yeah, and be done with that.
- 17:18Speaker 1: You know, it's so weird about your statement's day And
- 17:19Speaker 1: if we were sitting in the state of New Jersey,
- 17:21Speaker 1: where was completely run by Democrats, and we could all
- 17:23Speaker 1: point to the failures of their policies and their administration.
- 17:26Speaker 1: We were like loan voices in an all blue wilderness.
- 17:29Speaker 1: Your statements, would you know, I would understand them. This
- 17:34Speaker 1: is a state that is really really read politically. And
- 17:38Speaker 1: then you scratch your hand. You want to how in
- 17:39Speaker 1: the hell is it like compared to Florida. We're supposed
- 17:43Speaker 1: to be a republican state with republican you know, limited government,
- 17:46Speaker 1: free market, fiscal responsibility principles, low taxes. No, we're not.
- 17:51Speaker 1: What's the problem the state of Ohio? Yeah? I know, No, No,
- 17:55Speaker 1: I know. I'm with you. I agree with you all
- 17:58Speaker 1: day long. So what in the hell is the problem
- 18:00Speaker 1: state of Ohio? As I look longfully at the yes
- 18:04Speaker 1: at Columbus, That's where I was headed.
- 18:06Speaker 4: JA, So let's dissolve it.
- 18:09Speaker 5: Don't don't vote Rhyino, have a good day of Bryan.
- 18:12Speaker 1: True, we have to go that far. But if we
- 18:14Speaker 1: just paid attention and voted accordingly, Oh, maybe therein lies
- 18:17Speaker 1: the challenge. Get off your butt and go vote for two.
- 18:21Speaker 1: Oh she's struggling with explotives this morning, five twenty seven.
- 18:24Speaker 1: Right now, If you five krc DE talk station fifty
- 18:27Speaker 1: five karc hollow word fifty dollars. With this, who believes
- 18:31Speaker 1: and aliens Bigfoot in cheop of Cabra? I was a
- 18:33Speaker 1: little supset that lizard people weren't on the list, But
- 18:35Speaker 1: as I was staring at this and laughing, yes at you,
- 18:39Speaker 1: if you believe in Bigfoot or cheap of cobbra, twenty
- 18:43Speaker 1: eight percent definitely exist or probably exist twenty eight percent.
- 18:50Speaker 1: And when you look at polling data, like for example,
- 18:53Speaker 1: I'm going I'm pivoting over to Republicans versus Democrats, you know,
- 18:56Speaker 1: one third, there's always one third of the people that
- 18:58Speaker 1: believe in something absolutely bad, crap, insane. Should men participate
- 19:03Speaker 1: against women in sports? I would think uniformly everyone would
- 19:07Speaker 1: collectively agree that no, that's a stupid idea, it's unfair.
- 19:11Speaker 1: And yet if you look at the polling, there's a
- 19:12Speaker 1: third of the people out there that think that's a okay. Look,
- 19:15Speaker 1: those are a third of the people that think chuop
- 19:17Speaker 1: a cobber's reel or something. So you can always find
- 19:20Speaker 1: something that someone's gonna believe, even if it's so fundamentally
- 19:23Speaker 1: dumb that logic and reason would just you know, require
- 19:29Speaker 1: you to just default believe that nobody could possibly believe that. Yeah,
- 19:35Speaker 1: just stumbled upon reality. There there's your answer, perhaps, Tom,
- 19:38Speaker 1: Welcome to the Morning Show and a happy Tuesday to
- 19:40Speaker 1: you bid.
- 19:41Speaker 7: Good morning. First of all, if there is alien life
- 19:46Speaker 7: out there, one of the reasons we probably haven't seen
- 19:50Speaker 7: them a lot is because they probably monitor what's going
- 19:54Speaker 7: on here.
- 19:54Speaker 1: You don't want to have anything to do with this.
- 19:57Speaker 7: Yeah, if you're not from me, na, hell, would you
- 19:59Speaker 7: want to come here?
- 20:00Speaker 1: Good point? Geez jeez, these people are insane, man, don't
- 20:06Speaker 1: touch them, get near them?
- 20:07Speaker 7: Yeah, get stay away from there. They sent out alert
- 20:10Speaker 7: to all other life on wherever that said you might
- 20:14Speaker 7: want not you might not want to go there. Yeah,
- 20:18Speaker 7: you mentioned that a third of the people believe in
- 20:21Speaker 7: something that's stupid. Well, think about the percentage of people
- 20:24Speaker 7: in this country that vote for Democrats after all that
- 20:27Speaker 7: we've seen, after all that's happened. And then of course
- 20:30Speaker 7: you know you have Jay regularly is founding on on
- 20:34Speaker 7: Rhinos that the way people vote just tells you all
- 20:38Speaker 7: you need to know about how we just don't pay
- 20:41Speaker 7: enough attention and we vote with our feelings and you know,
- 20:45Speaker 7: and it's it's crazy that that we don't use our brains.
- 20:49Speaker 7: That I mean, you use your brains, you know, to
- 20:52Speaker 7: balance your bank statement and look at how much money
- 20:55Speaker 7: you're spending. And but you know, when it comes to
- 20:57Speaker 7: getting in a voting booth, you're just like hut something else.
- 21:00Speaker 7: I don't understand it.
- 21:02Speaker 1: People don't pay attention. And we also we tend to
- 21:06Speaker 1: elect people who want to be politicians, and there in
- 21:08Speaker 1: lies a challenge for me. There's the vast majority of
- 21:12Speaker 1: are malignant narcissists. I mean, I think a Gavin Newsom
- 21:14Speaker 1: and some of the problems he just facing as a
- 21:16Speaker 1: result of of the things that come out of his mouth,
- 21:19Speaker 1: but what a polished, narcissistic self centered and I would
- 21:23Speaker 1: love to use expletives right now. That's why I feel
- 21:25Speaker 1: about Gavin Newsom. But he's illustrative of Yes, narcissistic, self
- 21:30Speaker 1: centered politicians are in it for their own fame, their
- 21:33Speaker 1: own glory. They have no wit or care or concern
- 21:35Speaker 1: about the people that they purport to represent, just in
- 21:38Speaker 1: it for their own personal benefit. And that's what most
- 21:40Speaker 1: politicians run for name recognition. Well, I can't be a
- 21:44Speaker 1: movie star, but I want to be loved by the people.
- 21:46Speaker 1: I want to be known by the people I want
- 21:48Speaker 1: to be famous that those aspirations are shallow and well
- 21:54Speaker 1: sad empathetic.
- 21:55Speaker 7: From my perspective, they and they know how to say
- 21:59Speaker 7: the thing you say. They get enough people to vote
- 22:02Speaker 7: for them, and it's just the stuff they say. They
- 22:05Speaker 7: really can't do. They just they say they can and
- 22:08Speaker 7: then then when it doesn't happen, they blame other people
- 22:11Speaker 7: for its not happening. And we're wondering what's going on
- 22:13Speaker 7: with Ohio. And you know, your three biggest metropolitan areas
- 22:18Speaker 7: in Ohio are all very very deep blue as far
- 22:21Speaker 7: as the local politics. Now, if you want to get
- 22:24Speaker 7: elected to a state office, you know you have the
- 22:28Speaker 7: entire rest of the state that you've got to deal with.
- 22:31Speaker 7: And some of the people in the blue you know
- 22:34Speaker 7: metropolitan areas are are conservative. They're not going to vote Democrat.
- 22:39Speaker 7: I'm one of those people. So state office holders have
- 22:43Speaker 7: to have to, uh, they got to do a better
- 22:45Speaker 7: balancing act and trying to least act like they're conservative.
- 22:48Speaker 7: They're therefore the term rhino. But you know, they they
- 22:52Speaker 7: know that when they get in the state offices, they've
- 22:54Speaker 7: got to work with these people in these local governments.
- 22:57Speaker 7: Who are just extremely liberal. So you're not dealing with
- 23:02Speaker 7: people who are conservative, staunch conservative who believe in this
- 23:06Speaker 7: whole conservatism thing and want to put the policy in effect.
- 23:11Speaker 7: You're dealing with people who know that they need to
- 23:13Speaker 7: be They need to at least sound conservative to get
- 23:16Speaker 7: elected to a state office, but they need to be
- 23:19Speaker 7: liberal enough to work with these local governments. And there's
- 23:22Speaker 7: your problem right there. You cannot cooperate with people who
- 23:26Speaker 7: run liberal governments. They are doing it all wrong. There's
- 23:30Speaker 7: no working with them. You have to get rid of
- 23:32Speaker 7: them and get rid of that whole philosophy and government,
- 23:36Speaker 7: because that's what's ruining the country and the state and
- 23:39Speaker 7: the county and the city. You're in these liberal Democrat policies.
- 23:44Speaker 7: There is no working with them and cooperating with them.
- 23:47Speaker 7: You have to get rid of them. And that's where
- 23:49Speaker 7: the voters come in. Please pay attention, Please stop voting
- 23:52Speaker 7: with your feelings, and please don't vote Democrat.
- 23:55Speaker 1: Have a great day, right, you do the same Apprecia
- 23:58Speaker 1: hearing from you. I love hear from you too. If
- 24:00Speaker 1: you've got a thought in your mind, you want to
- 24:01Speaker 1: give me a call, something you want to talk about it,
- 24:02Speaker 1: I'm going to do the stack of stupid absent calls.
- 24:04Speaker 1: Five one three seven two three talk. I'll FI fifty
- 24:08Speaker 1: on AT and T phones.
- 24:09Speaker 4: Be right back.
- 24:10Speaker 1: This is fifty five KRC Brock Station. It is five
- 24:18Speaker 1: forty one on a Tuesday and a happy one tea.
- 24:20Speaker 1: You gotta go to the phone here five one three
- 24:22Speaker 1: seven two three talk before we get to the stack
- 24:25Speaker 1: of stupid. Larry's on the phone. Hey, Larry, thanks for calling.
- 24:27Speaker 1: Happy Tuesday to you, sir.
- 24:29Speaker 8: Good Born and Brian.
- 24:31Speaker 9: Uh.
- 24:31Speaker 8: My question that was calling in about was, uh, the
- 24:34Speaker 8: vek Ramaswami when he was running for president, was running
- 24:37Speaker 8: as a very staunch conservative.
- 24:40Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 24:40Speaker 8: Well, now that he's running for Ohio governor and he's
- 24:43Speaker 8: being backed by these so called liberals that's running our
- 24:48Speaker 8: government in Columbus, I want to know how conservative truly
- 24:55Speaker 8: he is?
- 24:57Speaker 3: Is he?
- 24:57Speaker 8: Does anybody know if he's even been asked the question
- 25:00Speaker 8: about the abolishment his abolishment of property taxes.
- 25:05Speaker 1: That I don't know the answer to, Larry.
- 25:07Speaker 8: But you know, I'm interested in what his response would be.
- 25:10Speaker 1: Yeah, I am.
- 25:10Speaker 8: That will show it is real, true color and how
- 25:13Speaker 8: true of a conservative he is.
- 25:14Speaker 1: No, I don't think I think it's beyond that. When
- 25:16Speaker 1: it comes to property taxes, that's very complicated thing. And
- 25:19Speaker 1: I've said all day long, I'm more to see the
- 25:21Speaker 1: abolishment of property taxes just to see how elected officials
- 25:24Speaker 1: have to react to it. It did force them to
- 25:27Speaker 1: do so much work, I mean, dealing without property taxes,
- 25:30Speaker 1: all the various layers of government. We talked about that
- 25:32Speaker 1: all the time with Americans for Prosperity Donovan and'eil like,
- 25:35Speaker 1: there's seven thousand different you know, subdivisions and in political
- 25:39Speaker 1: subdivisions within the state, and each one of them has
- 25:42Speaker 1: its own taxation issues, all funded by property tax. If
- 25:47Speaker 1: you undo that and make property tax unconstitutional to state,
- 25:50Speaker 1: that is going to be a challenge to deal with.
- 25:53Speaker 1: So I don't know that it's necessarily whether Republican or
- 25:55Speaker 1: Democrat in favor of property taxes. Are not The complications
- 25:59Speaker 1: that unfold as a consequence of eliminating them are? I
- 26:02Speaker 1: think more are too overwhelming for our political class to
- 26:05Speaker 1: even cope with, so much so they don't want to
- 26:07Speaker 1: do it. So, yeah, it's a great question. I'll agree
- 26:10Speaker 1: with you all day long, Larry, and I was laughing
- 26:12Speaker 1: when you first said, is he really conservative? Or is
- 26:14Speaker 1: he some sort of wolf in sheep's clothing liberal. I
- 26:17Speaker 1: laugh at that only because we have to elect people
- 26:19Speaker 1: in order to find that out. In most cases, Oh
- 26:22Speaker 1: my god, we voted for so and so on the
- 26:23Speaker 1: basis that he was fill in the blanket. It turned
- 26:25Speaker 1: out he was polar opposite of that. What in the
- 26:27Speaker 1: hell do we do to ourselves?
- 26:29Speaker 8: Yep, manipulated by the party where that support him funded
- 26:36Speaker 8: fund of his campaigns.
- 26:38Speaker 1: I just think they wanted to make it easy on
- 26:39Speaker 1: that one. They figured that Viva Grammarswamy when they endorsed him,
- 26:42Speaker 1: was so far ahead of the polls that nobody else
- 26:44Speaker 1: really had a shot. I think the Republican Party was
- 26:46Speaker 1: just trying to save money so they didn't have to
- 26:49Speaker 1: fund a primary challenge. Now I don't know that it's
- 26:53Speaker 1: right or wrong. I have a lot of listeners that
- 26:55Speaker 1: are pissed off of the idea of the Republican Party
- 26:57Speaker 1: would would would endorse someone in advance of the primary,
- 27:00Speaker 1: And I kind of share some of those concerns. Why
- 27:03Speaker 1: not give the people who choose to vote in the
- 27:05Speaker 1: primary the opportunity to make their choices. The Republican Party
- 27:08Speaker 1: doesn't have to back what the primary the primary winner.
- 27:12Speaker 1: It can go off on its own. It's its own,
- 27:13Speaker 1: separate entity. So yeah, I mean, great question. Why not
- 27:18Speaker 1: vivk Ramaswamy has been on the program before. I'll ask
- 27:21Speaker 1: him next time he's on and we'll see if he
- 27:22Speaker 1: gives us a definitive response. But don't overlook the realities.
- 27:26Speaker 4: Yeah, hold us.
- 27:27Speaker 8: You need to hold his speed to the fire too.
- 27:29Speaker 8: Don't be like these typical politicians and dance around it.
- 27:32Speaker 8: Say just answer the question, do you support an abolishment
- 27:35Speaker 8: of property taxes in Ohio?
- 27:38Speaker 5: Yes or no?
- 27:39Speaker 4: Not?
- 27:40Speaker 8: Allow him to give you Well, that's a difficult question
- 27:42Speaker 8: to answer because a blah blah this.
- 27:45Speaker 1: Well I would I would answer the question, yeah, yes,
- 27:48Speaker 1: but I would have I mean, if you ask me
- 27:50Speaker 1: the direct question, I would say, Okay, your answer is yes, but.
- 27:56Speaker 5: Yes.
- 27:56Speaker 1: But it's it's a Charlie foxtrot, man. I mean, that's
- 28:00Speaker 1: really what it boils down to. It is insanely complicated,
- 28:04Speaker 1: unring the bell of property taxes. So okay, if you're
- 28:07Speaker 1: a yes on abolishment of property taxes, then you need
- 28:09Speaker 1: to be armed with the ability to answer the question. Okay,
- 28:12Speaker 1: then what do you do to change the system? In
- 28:16Speaker 1: the absence of property taxes. Therein lies the ultimate challenge.
- 28:20Speaker 1: Do you have an answer to that question? Are you
- 28:22Speaker 1: willing to raise proper Are you willing to raise these
- 28:24Speaker 1: sales tax to whatever percentage that needs to be raised?
- 28:27Speaker 1: Are you willing to find other forms of revenue for
- 28:29Speaker 1: schools and everything else that's funded by a parks and
- 28:32Speaker 1: park districts. And we could go on and on and on.
- 28:35Speaker 1: So that is the complicated, challenging part of the question.
- 28:39Speaker 1: It is a yes or no question.
- 28:41Speaker 8: But if you say yes, not to change the subject
- 28:45Speaker 8: real quick. Hillary are supposed to stand before the Senate
- 28:50Speaker 8: hearing sometime this week, and I'm already predicting their answers
- 28:53Speaker 8: are gonna be I plead the Fifth or I do
- 28:57Speaker 8: not recall.
- 28:59Speaker 7: Mark it down.
- 29:00Speaker 1: Well, that's it easy one, Larry, you take okay, I
- 29:03Speaker 1: do not recall. That is the answer to that. I
- 29:06Speaker 1: presume they're not going to take the fifth on anything,
- 29:08Speaker 1: because you can't sub you can't limit your Fifth Amendment assertions.
- 29:11Speaker 1: If you answer any questions, then you basically waive it.
- 29:14Speaker 1: So but I do not recall. Yeah, we're going back
- 29:16Speaker 1: a number of years for Bill and Hillary Clinton. I
- 29:19Speaker 1: do not recall. Any good lawyer will teach a someone
- 29:23Speaker 1: subject to deposition that exact response. Listen, man, if you're
- 29:26Speaker 1: not absolutely one hundredercent certain you are under oath, then
- 29:29Speaker 1: just say you don't recall. Why because I don't recall.
- 29:33Speaker 1: One can refresh a recollection with a document or other
- 29:36Speaker 1: item of information and say, oh, do you remember saying this.
- 29:39Speaker 1: We have you quoted as saying blah blah blah. Oh,
- 29:41Speaker 1: that's right, I recall. But if you answer definitively yes
- 29:44Speaker 1: or no, like the property tax question, then you're stuck
- 29:48Speaker 1: with yes or no. Five point forty six fifty five
- 29:50Speaker 1: KRSD Talk Station. Don't go away, I'd be right back.

- 30:22Speaker 1: of Kentucky. Sorry, your man landed number one on the
- 30:26Speaker 1: stack of stupid. We go to Muhlenberg County and thank
- 30:28Speaker 1: you to cribbage Mike aka Submere submarine or Mike for
- 30:32Speaker 1: passing this one along to me. Very abbreviated article, but
- 30:35Speaker 1: doesn't have to be much longer than this rest citation say,
- 30:39Speaker 1: a Kentucky man's been charged with sexual crimes against animals
- 30:42Speaker 1: after he's been accused of having sex with a dead deer.
- 30:50Speaker 1: There's no flag for us, amen, Josstrecker Court to the citation,
- 30:55Speaker 1: a partner person witness of crime driving on phillip Stoneway
- 30:59Speaker 1: in Central City. This happened over the weekend Saturday evening specifically. Consequently,
- 31:03Speaker 1: the citation states that thirty two year old Alan Osborne
- 31:07Speaker 1: was arrested and booked into the Muhlenberg County Detention Center
- 31:11Speaker 1: a dead deer. Now, if you find that hard to comprehend,
- 31:17Speaker 1: let us pivot over to a woman named Bonnie Blue
- 31:23Speaker 1: described as an OnlyFans star. So you kind of know
- 31:27Speaker 1: the direction this one is going. I presume you do anyway. Yeah,
- 31:29Speaker 1: Only Fans apparently a place where people do disgusting things
- 31:33Speaker 1: in return for your signing on and subscribing to a
- 31:36Speaker 1: membership so you can witness them doing disgusting things. Hey, whatever,
- 31:40Speaker 1: float your butt man, I'm a libertarian. I don't care.
- 31:42Speaker 1: I trust you with you zipper and your wallet. I
- 31:44Speaker 1: don't want your money, and I don't want to know
- 31:45Speaker 1: what you do behind closed doors. But you know, I
- 31:47Speaker 1: do have a comment or two on people who pay
- 31:49Speaker 1: for a subscription to see women like Bonnie Blue sleep
- 31:52Speaker 1: with one thousand men in a period of twelve hours.
- 31:55Speaker 1: What Yeah, apparently in this blue Bonnie Blue did she? Joe,
- 32:07Speaker 1: thank you.
- 32:10Speaker 6: Keep your stupid mouth shot.
- 32:15Speaker 1: Anyway, drew headlines and outrage by sleeping with more than
- 32:19Speaker 1: one thousand men and twelve hours and then getting arrested
- 32:21Speaker 1: in Balie and deported from Indonesia last year, then later
- 32:25Speaker 1: announcing the quote breeding mission close quote said she took
- 32:31Speaker 1: DNA samples from four hundred men and in case she
- 32:33Speaker 1: needed to fill out who the father was the father
- 32:35Speaker 1: of she is now pregnant because she doesn't know after
- 32:37Speaker 1: having sex with hundreds of men who the father is.
- 32:41Speaker 1: Bonnie Blue, did she whose legal name is ta Tia Billinger,
- 32:48Speaker 1: went online and of course shared her positive pregnancy test guys,
- 32:51Speaker 1: I'm definitely pregnant, like fully pregnant. So I'm gonna have
- 32:54Speaker 1: to I'm gonna have to chat GPT what to do
- 32:57Speaker 1: next because I'm actually not quite sure. Oh is that
- 33:01Speaker 1: a baby? That's actually crazy? That's a quote from this woman. Okay,
- 33:09Speaker 1: I've tried to get pregnant for years with my ex
- 33:11Speaker 1: partner and really really struggled, and I have to go
- 33:13Speaker 1: down to the IVF route. That's what she said last
- 33:16Speaker 1: year in June when she couldn't get pregnant. I wish
- 33:19Speaker 1: I could say I might get pregnant. However, I'm not
- 33:21Speaker 1: in that position where I can fall pregnant naturally. Do
- 33:24Speaker 1: you fall into pregnancy, Joe? Is that is that kind
- 33:26Speaker 1: of a new phenomenon. It's East trip and you fall
- 33:32Speaker 1: into the lap of a thousand guys one after another
- 33:34Speaker 1: and end up pregnant. Is that how that works? Okay?
- 33:38Speaker 4: Now, who can argue with that.
- 33:42Speaker 1: We're back in Kentucky where a man died Monday morning
- 33:44Speaker 1: after he was found hanging upside down from a utility
- 33:47Speaker 1: pipe on a building and is it Versailles or Versales.
- 33:51Speaker 4: Court?
- 33:52Speaker 1: To the police department, they were dispatched at seven thirty
- 33:53Speaker 1: in the morning Electionington Road after a driver reported finding
- 33:56Speaker 1: a man suspended from the building. When officers got there,
- 33:58Speaker 1: they found him found the man Yeah, roughly sixty years old,
- 34:02Speaker 1: hanging from his legs on a utility pipe connected to
- 34:04Speaker 1: the building. The man was lowered to the ground and
- 34:05Speaker 1: taken by ambulance to Centerpoint Health, where he was pronounced dead.
- 34:10Speaker 1: Corner's office withholding the subjects name until family members are notified.
- 34:14Speaker 1: Police Department conducting a death investigation. Preliminary findings indicate the
- 34:17Speaker 1: subject gained access to the roof and was attempting to
- 34:20Speaker 1: burglarize the building before following and becoming stuck on the
- 34:23Speaker 1: building's utilities. Isn't that instant karma idiots doing idiot things?
- 34:30Speaker 1: Because there idiots certainly that and real quickly. Here a
- 34:34Speaker 1: very jealous boyfriend that's in quotes over in Connecticut head
- 34:37Speaker 1: into prison for decades after stabbing his girlfriend to death
- 34:40Speaker 1: inside of a car upwards of twenty five times. Why
- 34:44Speaker 1: because he thought she was cheating on him. Thank you, Jostrecker.

- 35:02Speaker 1: a final meal before taking her to a parking lot
- 35:04Speaker 1: and killing Hern't. I don't know what she had, Maybe
- 35:08Speaker 1: we'll find out. He drove her body to local police station,
- 35:12Speaker 1: then walked inside to confess, telling the police that he
- 35:16Speaker 1: was quote planning to murder her for several days close
- 35:18Speaker 1: quote because he thought she cheated on him. Wart said
- 35:23Speaker 1: he was intentionally treating her very nice so she would
- 35:25Speaker 1: not suspect that there was an issue. The order from
- 35:30Speaker 1: the drive through. Then he let Rivera eat her food
- 35:32Speaker 1: in McDonald's parking lot before taking her to a secluded lot.
- 35:36Speaker 1: He pretended to need to grab some lumber. Is that
- 35:38Speaker 1: what they're calling it these days? Joe and acted if
- 35:41Speaker 1: he was getting out of the car to grab it,
- 35:43Speaker 1: and then attacked Rivera. Moved his seat all the way
- 35:46Speaker 1: back so he could have enough room to swing the knife.
- 35:49Speaker 1: That's the cord of the arrest of warrant. He moved
- 35:51Speaker 1: the knife from his left pocket began stabbing her multiple
- 35:53Speaker 1: times as she sat in the front passenger seat. He
- 35:56Speaker 1: told police he watched as she grasped for air and
- 35:59Speaker 1: then waited for her to die before taking her lifeless
- 36:02Speaker 1: body to the Heartford Police Department. I don't write him,
- 36:08Speaker 1: I just read them. But naturally those kind of stories
- 36:11Speaker 1: gravitate to the stack. Is stupid. Don't go away. I've
- 36:13Speaker 1: plenty to talk about in the six o'clock hour. Love
- 36:15Speaker 1: to hear from you. Let's talk Gavin Newsom, Wow Wow Wow.
- 36:19Speaker 1: All I can say is we go into the break.
- 36:23Speaker 1: Today's top headlines Comy Oh sick Care fifty five ker
- 36:27Speaker 1: C Detalk station. My name is Brian Thomas, host of
- 36:30Speaker 1: this morning show. I wishing everybody very happy Tuesday. And
- 36:33Speaker 1: the invitation is stick around all morning. Start with an
- 36:35Speaker 1: invitation to give me a call for something I want
- 36:36Speaker 1: to talk about, like, uh, what do you believe in aliens? Bigfooted?
- 36:42Speaker 1: Super cabra? Addie how Just joking about that last hour,
- 36:45Speaker 1: trying to lighten things up, cause there's not a whole
- 36:47Speaker 1: lot of light things going on in the news. Coming
- 36:48Speaker 1: up seven to oh five, Dave Williamson Tax Pay of
- 36:50Speaker 1: Protection Alliance. He's going to provide some insight what he
- 36:53Speaker 1: wants to hear tonight. It's a State of the Union address.
- 36:56Speaker 1: So Tom Zawastowski is back. He's from the We the
- 36:58Speaker 1: People Convention dot org site. He'll also comment on the
- 37:01Speaker 1: State of the Union address and maybe, just maybe tok
- 37:05Speaker 1: can answer a question for us, the explanation of how
- 37:08Speaker 1: Robert Sprague got endorsed by the Republican Party over Marcel
- 37:11Speaker 1: Sturbadge in advance of the primary. It's a legitimate question. Again,
- 37:16Speaker 1: address that in the last hour with a phone caller.
- 37:18Speaker 1: You know, I'm with a lot of my listeners that
- 37:20Speaker 1: please give us an opportunity to make the selection ourselves.
- 37:23Speaker 1: Although I certainly understand the monetary dynamic behind endorsing Viva
- 37:28Speaker 1: Ramaswami ahead of the primary, I think the Republican Party
- 37:31Speaker 1: decided he was so far ahead in the polls that
- 37:33Speaker 1: it would be a colossal waste of money to have
- 37:35Speaker 1: to fight back and forth in a primary, and they
- 37:37Speaker 1: wanted to keep their powder dry. Just my guess, it
- 37:39Speaker 1: is to a total guess. You may have greater insight
- 37:42Speaker 1: than that than me, But the same thing happened with
- 37:44Speaker 1: Robert Sprague over Marcel Sturbage, and I will acknowledge I
- 37:48Speaker 1: was extremely impressed by Marcel when he was here on
- 37:50Speaker 1: the fifty five Carency Morning Show, and a lot of people.
- 37:53Speaker 1: A lot of people were back in Marcel Sturbage over
- 37:56Speaker 1: Robert Sprague inside scoop of Bright Barton, who's going up
- 37:58Speaker 1: to eight oh five? The White House course on it.
- 38:00Speaker 1: Nick Gilbertson returns to talk about Oh look, State of
- 38:03Speaker 1: the Union address, and finally the Daniel Davis deep Dive,
- 38:05Speaker 1: and I really would my mind was blown this morning,
- 38:09Speaker 1: knowing full well that we're going to get the latest
- 38:11Speaker 1: on Russia and Ukraine, that that war is entering its
- 38:13Speaker 1: fifth year and the number of casualties at least as
- 38:17Speaker 1: reported by the Center for Strategic and Intelligence Studies, described
- 38:21Speaker 1: as nonpartisan, says that Russian military casualties one point two million,
- 38:27Speaker 1: three hundred and twenty five thousand dead, which they say
- 38:31Speaker 1: is more than double of the numbers for Ukraine. Ukraine
- 38:34Speaker 1: dead one hundred and forty thousand with six hundred thousand injured.
- 38:38Speaker 1: I will to see him about that number, off retired
- 38:40Speaker 1: Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis at eight thirty. So if you

- 38:56Speaker 1: to three talk. What in the hell is will Gavin
- 38:58Speaker 1: Newsom revealing his Is it racism? Many people are saying
- 39:02Speaker 1: it is. This sounds analogous to telling black people that
- 39:05Speaker 1: they are too stupid to vote or too stupid to
- 39:08Speaker 1: get a photo ID. What is with that? I'm sorry
- 39:11Speaker 1: Georgia had the same thing, Oh, Jim Crow two point zero,
- 39:14Speaker 1: and then after they implemented the voter ID requirement, then
- 39:17Speaker 1: more black people voted in Georgia than prior to the requirement.
- 39:20Speaker 1: I guess you're capable of doing that. I've always said that.
- 39:23Speaker 1: I've been on record for years saying anybody who says
- 39:26Speaker 1: out loud that people of color are at a disadvantage
- 39:29Speaker 1: getting a photo ID are themselves racist? For saying that,
- 39:32Speaker 1: it is demeaning. Smitherman was talking about that just the
- 39:38Speaker 1: other day here on the Smith event on Mondays every
- 39:40Speaker 1: Monday at seven to twenty find the podcast that you
- 39:42Speaker 1: have carecy dot com. So he's at it again or
- 39:44Speaker 1: along the same lines. He's speaking with Mayor Andre Dickens
- 39:47Speaker 1: and that in Georgia he's in Atlanta, Georgia, on a
- 39:50Speaker 1: book tour peddling his book. I'm not you know, I'm
- 39:58Speaker 1: not trying to impress you, Kevin news had said to
- 40:02Speaker 1: Black mayor Andre Dickens. I'm just trying to press upon you.
- 40:06Speaker 1: I'm like you, I'm no better than you. You know,
- 40:10Speaker 1: I'm a nine to sixty SAT guy, and you know
- 40:13Speaker 1: I'm not trying to offend anyone. Sorry, you just did idiot,
- 40:16Speaker 1: you know, trying to act all there. If you got
- 40:19Speaker 1: nine forty literally a nine to sixty SAT guy. You've
- 40:23Speaker 1: never seen me read a speech. Because I cannot read
- 40:25Speaker 1: a speech. Maybe the wrong business to be in. Huh.
- 40:30Speaker 1: You know, of all the responses to this, of all people,
- 40:34Speaker 1: Nicki minaj I thought accurately summed all of them up
- 40:37Speaker 1: also black. His way of bonding with black people is
- 40:41Speaker 1: to tell them how stupid he is and that he
- 40:44Speaker 1: can't read.
- 40:49Speaker 7: Uh, huh.
- 40:49Speaker 1: Do you want to know the craziest part of this
- 40:51Speaker 1: footage that will hunt him forever? She said or asked.
- 40:54Speaker 1: He's literally slowing his speech down and talking in Spira cadence. Yeah.
- 41:04Speaker 1: I think that is quite literally insulting. Gavin Newsom, spokesperson
- 41:13Speaker 1: defending the comments. First, Maga mocked his dyslexia, and now
- 41:18Speaker 1: they're calling him racist for talking about his low SAT scores.
- 41:21Speaker 1: This is maga manufactured outrage. Really, governors said this publicly
- 41:29Speaker 1: for years, including with Charlie Kirk and dozens of other audiences.
- 41:31Speaker 1: The same people who excused or ignored Trump's racist date
- 41:34Speaker 1: video can go F word themselves, Which leads me over
- 41:38Speaker 1: to another question I've got for you, generally speaking, are
- 41:41Speaker 1: you upset about the state of political discourse in this country?
- 41:46Speaker 1: Why do I have to wake up every single morning
- 41:49Speaker 1: and still to my amazement and it's clickbait? I know
- 41:54Speaker 1: why they're doing it. Otherwise, respected members of media, the
- 42:01Speaker 1: elected class, business world lacing their speech with F bombs
- 42:09Speaker 1: all the time. Governor Knew some spokesperson in response to
- 42:14Speaker 1: the allegations that he is being racist and demeaning to
- 42:16Speaker 1: black people by saying, well, I'm just like you, I'm
- 42:19Speaker 1: dumb sprinkled with F bombs. This is an official response
- 42:25Speaker 1: from a governor of the biggest state in the Union,
- 42:27Speaker 1: one of the largest economies on the planet. Is it
- 42:29Speaker 1: necessary to incorporate F bombs and everything? Are you so
- 42:33Speaker 1: desperate for someone to click on it, and really, you know,
- 42:36Speaker 1: I'm inclined to click on something like just because I
- 42:38Speaker 1: can't believe they said it in about five minutes time
- 42:41Speaker 1: from now in the real world time that we live in,
- 42:43Speaker 1: which you know, for four five years is a moment
- 42:45Speaker 1: in time. See brought war in Ukraine. I'm going to
- 42:48Speaker 1: become callous and jaded to it. It's become an acceptable norm,
- 42:51Speaker 1: and I'm going to be reading it all the time,
- 42:52Speaker 1: so much so that it's no longer to become clickbait.
- 42:55Speaker 1: Did Governor do Some really say that?
- 42:57Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 42:57Speaker 5: He did.
- 43:00Speaker 1: Newsom himself after being accused of being a racist over
- 43:03Speaker 1: his racist SDAT comment in Atlanta. Quote. You don't give
- 43:08Speaker 1: an S word about the President of the United States
- 43:11Speaker 1: of America posting an eighth video of President Barack Obama
- 43:14Speaker 1: or calling African nations s holes. But you're gonna call
- 43:19Speaker 1: me a racist for talking about my lifelong struggle with dyslexia.
- 43:23Speaker 1: Spare me your fwording outrage. Oh that's classy, brother, Dad's class.
- 43:29Speaker 1: Is this what appeals to voters? Is this what you
- 43:32Speaker 1: want in your politicians? Oh and let's pivot over to
- 43:39Speaker 1: this one. So apparently he has been talking about his
- 43:42Speaker 1: dyslexia since two thousand and four, that's when he was
- 43:44Speaker 1: may of San Francisco. He's the one that brought it up.
- 43:47Speaker 1: Look at me, I'm dyslexi. I'm someone who's still achieved
- 43:50Speaker 1: something in spite of my disability. Wow. What a novel
- 43:55Speaker 1: concept that achieving something in spite of a backer disability.
- 44:02Speaker 1: Keep going, Gavin, keep going. So we have a real
- 44:08Speaker 1: politics correspondent, woman named Susan Crabtree. It doesn't matter if
- 44:10Speaker 1: she's a member of the media. She asked for some
- 44:16Speaker 1: measure proof of his dyslexia diagnosis since he did interject
- 44:20Speaker 1: it into the equation. Hey, you know, he previously said
- 44:24Speaker 1: he got a diagnosis back in nineteen seventy two when
- 44:27Speaker 1: he was a kid. So Susan asked him. Gavin Newsom's
- 44:35Speaker 1: response from the communications director, who I presume had authority
- 44:40Speaker 1: the issue. The response to Gavin Newsom's comment is he
- 44:43Speaker 1: garden quote. Hey, Susan, thanks for reaching out respectfully. F
- 44:51Speaker 1: word off close quote on behalf of Gavin Newsom. Stay classy,
- 44:59Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom, you keep at it. You just keep at it. Yes,
- 45:04Speaker 1: if he was dyslexic, you're right, it will be off
- 45:07Speaker 1: F word good, good call Joe Strecker, well done. Yeah,
- 45:12Speaker 1: but his spokesperson isn't dyslexic, so maybe she, you know,
- 45:15Speaker 1: restated or rephrased the quote she got from the f
- 45:20Speaker 1: bomber and chief out in California. Oh and parathetically, if
- 45:25Speaker 1: you want to know, I looked up the average SAT score.
- 45:28Speaker 1: It's ten twenty four. That's the average, So he's nine sixty.
- 45:33Speaker 1: Dry your own conclusions. I just share the people's, you know,
- 45:36Speaker 1: perception that it was pretty gosh darn racist or easily
- 45:43Speaker 1: easily interpreted as such when he said it. And no,
- 45:45Speaker 1: I am not defending Donald Trumps stupid, stupid posting of
- 45:50Speaker 1: that video. I still cannot believe that. But there you go,
- 45:53Speaker 1: six fifteen right now, feel free to call be right back.
- 45:56Speaker 1: After I mentioned USA's premium phone, the premium phone that
- 45:58Speaker 1: is USA and slaves station and it's six twenty here
- 46:02Speaker 1: fifty five KRC Detalk station, Happy Tuesday, Coffee Life five
- 46:05Speaker 1: went three seven eight two three TAI five fifty on
- 46:09Speaker 1: at and t funds be where I get to other
- 46:10Speaker 1: shenanigans going on in the state of California. Yeah, speaking
- 46:13Speaker 1: of this, this this level of political discourse and everyone's
- 46:16Speaker 1: willingness to drop f bombs left and right, and people
- 46:19Speaker 1: who an elected capacity, yous have better sense of themselves.
- 46:21Speaker 1: It's a little more sensitive korum anyway. That's my personal opinion.
- 46:25Speaker 1: Get a load of this, of course. It's Democrats in
- 46:27Speaker 1: New Jersey. Welcome to the f word ICE Act. Yes,
- 46:34Speaker 1: an acronym, you know it. Get a load of this,
- 46:37Speaker 1: the Fight Unlawful Conduct and Keep Individuals and Communities Empowered Act.
- 46:44Speaker 1: You can do the math on that one. F ICE Act.
- 46:50Speaker 1: Not that it has stands a chance of getting pasted anyway.
- 46:52Speaker 1: It would permit civil actions for violations of the US
- 46:55Speaker 1: Constitution related to immigrant enforcement, introduced by Democrats in New Jersey. Specifically,
- 47:05Speaker 1: Jake Efros, described as a Democrats socialist counselman, apparently went
- 47:10Speaker 1: out to a ICE protest and was rebuffed by a
- 47:15Speaker 1: federal agent who told him I don't need a warrant,
- 47:17Speaker 1: bro offhand comment, resulting in something as abhorrant as the
- 47:21Speaker 1: f ICE Act. Stay classy, Democrats, Stay classy. Back over
- 47:25Speaker 1: to California, Governor news Tom announced he's allocating get a
- 47:28Speaker 1: load of this in a budget shortfall state billions of
- 47:31Speaker 1: dollars in budget shortfall, lots of people having problems with homelessness,
- 47:35Speaker 1: people living on the streets. We've got a crime running
- 47:37Speaker 1: out of control in California. Name pick your personal problem
- 47:40Speaker 1: in the state of California. Not enough housing, affordable housing.
- 47:43Speaker 1: Notably because of the regulatory environment. The environmental environment or
- 47:46Speaker 1: regulations are so tough that oil companies are closing down shop,
- 47:49Speaker 1: they're not refining oil. It's the highest gas price in
- 47:52Speaker 1: the entire country by a dollar sixty five only because
- 47:55Speaker 1: of the regulatory state. We could go on and on
- 47:57Speaker 1: and on about the Charlie Fox draft. That is Oh look,
- 48:00Speaker 1: Brian just did it. That is California thirty five million
- 48:04Speaker 1: dollars in state funding to support illegal immigrants. Legislators set
- 48:11Speaker 1: aside the month to help philanthropic partners ie non governmental
- 48:15Speaker 1: organizations support immigrant families with food, assistants and legal resources
- 48:20Speaker 1: for those who are facing deportation. Now pause in a minute,
- 48:24Speaker 1: or pause, are you a resident of the state of California,
- 48:27Speaker 1: and are you maybe a US citizen? Would you like
- 48:29Speaker 1: some free food and free legal help? Maybe, but you
- 48:37Speaker 1: don't get it because they're only giving the free legal
- 48:41Speaker 1: help to people who are not lawfully in our country.
- 48:48Speaker 1: I find a problem with that prioritization. If you had
- 48:51Speaker 1: literally unlimited resources, and you didn't have a budget shortfall,
- 48:55Speaker 1: and you weren't clamoring for more dollars, and you weren't
- 48:57Speaker 1: thinking about proposing and across the confiscation of billionaire's wealth,
- 49:03Speaker 1: which is causing billionaires to flee the state, why would
- 49:05Speaker 1: you do that? Why would you start with that? Because
- 49:07Speaker 1: you don't have enough money, period, end of story. Not
- 49:11Speaker 1: enough money, The well is dry. How can you then
- 49:15Speaker 1: pivot over and offer thirty five million dollars as paltry
- 49:19Speaker 1: as sum as that might be in the grand scheme
- 49:20Speaker 1: of things, thirty five million dollars for legal assistance to
- 49:24Speaker 1: illegal immigrants? What's the motivation behind that? Yeah, I know,
- 49:28Speaker 1: to keep illegal immigrants in the country. Why because apparently
- 49:31Speaker 1: they're filling a lot of the jobs out in California,
- 49:33Speaker 1: and they're working for a lower rate than actual US
- 49:36Speaker 1: citizens living in California. These funds apparently on top of
- 49:42Speaker 1: funds of the state already allocated to provide legal services,
- 49:45Speaker 1: So it's an extra pile of cash California. You going
- 49:53Speaker 1: to do some spokesperson, People are afraid to leave their
- 49:55Speaker 1: homes afraid to go to school or work and unable
- 49:59Speaker 1: to afford groceries. Well, is anybody out in the listening
- 50:04Speaker 1: audience having struggles with groceries. I just saw this meme
- 50:07Speaker 1: that popped up, and I got a big kick out
- 50:08Speaker 1: of it. The onion. I even read this with a
- 50:10Speaker 1: streker off the break. Remind your children that they're fasting
- 50:14Speaker 1: because of the Lord and not because you can't afford groceries.
- 50:19Speaker 1: Just to suspect, I think it's a legitimate suspicion, probably
- 50:23Speaker 1: confirmed by factual information like gasoline and shelter. I suspect
- 50:31Speaker 1: groceries in the state of California are a lot more
- 50:33Speaker 1: expensive than they are out here in Flyover Country. Six

- 51:03Speaker 1: He didn't have any problem producing photo ID. He went
- 51:06Speaker 1: on a real tear about when he was president of

- 51:10Speaker 1: day voting in the NAACP elections all across the country,

- 51:35Speaker 1: a person was found inside a vehicle that was upside
- 51:37Speaker 1: down and submerged in near the Ohio River. Campbell County
- 51:41Speaker 1: Corner's Office identified Faith Jenkins after her body was found
- 51:45Speaker 1: in Lloyd Creek over the weekend Friday Friday. Then an
- 51:49Speaker 1: iPhone crashed detection alert. I didn't realize they had that,
- 51:53Speaker 1: but apparently something I didn't learn from Tech Friday's Day Hatter. Anyway,
- 51:56Speaker 1: an iPhone detection alert launched. An overnight multi agency SIR
- 52:00Speaker 1: began around eight pm Friday after an alert indicated a
- 52:03Speaker 1: possible crash near Ninober Lake Lane close to the iiO River.
- 52:10Speaker 1: The body and the vehicle were found in the creek
- 52:12Speaker 1: from the further from the original alert location, so they
- 52:16Speaker 1: have identified her. That's sad. Nearly two months into twenty
- 52:22Speaker 1: twenty six, Hamilton County approaching the number of fire deaths
- 52:25Speaker 1: that they see typically in an entire year. Seventy four
- 52:29Speaker 1: year West Price Hill resident died in February eighteenth fire.
- 52:32Speaker 1: The most recent victim to fires that's the Tulsa far
- 52:36Speaker 1: now is eight started in early January when three members
- 52:40Speaker 1: of a family were found dead in Spring Grove Village
- 52:42Speaker 1: when it was where there was a fire. Fire chief
- 52:44Speaker 1: here in Cincinnati is set to address with the department.
- 52:47Speaker 1: Spokesperson calls a recent quote huge batch of fire deaths.
- 52:53Speaker 1: Do we ever hear from the CINCINNTI Fire Department chief? No,
- 52:56Speaker 1: we don't, do we Well, we heard from the spokesperson
- 53:02Speaker 1: who said we're gonna hear from the fire chief anyway.
- 53:06Speaker 1: Cincinnati data does not show an increase in fire calls though,
- 53:09Speaker 1: which they say raises question the fire chief Frank McKinley,
- 53:12Speaker 1: plans to address coming up in February twenty fourth at
- 53:15Speaker 1: a city safety meeting. Hamilton County averages about eleven accidental
- 53:19Speaker 1: fire deaths every year. That's according to the Coroner's office,
- 53:23Speaker 1: So again we've already seen eight. Fire Department spokesperson Lindsay
- 53:28Speaker 1: Lomax said, not all fire deaths occur because of the fire.
- 53:32Speaker 1: Someone could have a heart attack while cooking. That's an
- 53:35Speaker 1: interesting parallel. That's like saying you died of COVID nineteen
- 53:38Speaker 1: when you had a motorcycle wreck which broke your neck
- 53:40Speaker 1: while you had COVID nineteen. Anyway, she suggested that twenty
- 53:45Speaker 1: twenty six is an unusual trend, saying the math doesn't
- 53:48Speaker 1: work out properly. I don't want to do that. Interesting
- 53:57Speaker 1: reporting from Marlena langerver WCPO. Apparently there is a local
- 54:00Speaker 1: guy who's stuck in Mexico. I'm go into the details
- 54:06Speaker 1: on that as I started out this morning, Governor to
- 54:10Speaker 1: wine Hey, temporary means temporary, did you look it up?
- 54:15Speaker 1: Not permanent means it may go away. The temporary protected
- 54:19Speaker 1: status for the Haitian community, love it or hate it
- 54:22Speaker 1: has gone away because Donald Trump took it away. Giveth
- 54:25Speaker 1: and taketh away. Temporary protected status allows you to work
- 54:28Speaker 1: in our country once you're under temporary protected status, but
- 54:31Speaker 1: apparently it can be revoked, which means you, I guess,
- 54:33Speaker 1: are no longer lawfully allowed to vote or to work.
- 54:36Speaker 1: And that's got Governor to Wine a little hot under
- 54:37Speaker 1: the collar. He criticized Trump's attempt to end temporary protected
- 54:41Speaker 1: status for the Haitian community, calling the policy wrong. Talking
- 54:45Speaker 1: on face the Nation defended Haitians living and working legally
- 54:49Speaker 1: in Ohio, at least temporarily, saying that they have strengthened
- 54:51Speaker 1: local communities and filled jobs amid labor shortages. I think
- 54:56Speaker 1: the policy to revoke that is wrong. I don't think
- 54:59Speaker 1: that there's a consent for taking people who are working,
- 55:01Speaker 1: who are supporting their families. And we've kind of seen
- 55:04Speaker 1: it almost in a microway with the Haitian community that's
- 55:07Speaker 1: coming to Springfield. Springfield is an industrial city. This is
- 55:10Speaker 1: all Trump's quote are Dwaine's quote. By the way, I
- 55:12Speaker 1: think he got that. An industrial city, manufacturing city that
- 55:15Speaker 1: was down. It has been coming back, and frankly, one
- 55:18Speaker 1: of the reasons that's coming back is because the Haitians
- 55:20Speaker 1: who are working there, So I think the policy there
- 55:22Speaker 1: is wrong. He claims the economic uptick is in part
- 55:27Speaker 1: because of Haitian workers who filled jobs that employers could
- 55:30Speaker 1: not staff otherwise. I also have been given the impression
- 55:33Speaker 1: they work for a lot less than the Americans who
- 55:35Speaker 1: are well American citizens. That's a problem. But I asked
- 55:40Speaker 1: the question out loud, what's with him in Haitians? And
- 55:42Speaker 1: I know that he and his wife have done charitable
- 55:43Speaker 1: work in Haiti for a long long time, So we
- 55:45Speaker 1: asked this out loud. If we didn't have a large
- 55:49Speaker 1: presence of Haitians in the state of Ohio, let's say
- 55:51Speaker 1: it was Venezuelans, would he be complaining about the removal
- 55:55Speaker 1: or revocation of some other ethnic group or country of
- 55:58Speaker 1: origins group temper protected status. I don't think so anyway,
- 56:08Speaker 1: Maybe not Rhino. Maybe there's another moniker for them, Depublicans
- 56:16Speaker 1: that may apply six thirty five or thirty six if
- 56:19Speaker 1: you have KERCD talk station Peter k the talk station
- 56:24Speaker 1: sixty one, if if you have KARCD talk station Tuesday.
- 56:27Speaker 1: I was thinking of the caller earlier that wanted to
- 56:29Speaker 1: know where Viva Ramaswam he stood on property taxes. Since
- 56:32Speaker 1: we've got uh Tom Zawistowski coming up at seven thirty
- 56:36Speaker 1: to give his thoughts and comments about explaining the Republican
- 56:39Speaker 1: Party's endorsing, for example, Robert Sprague over Marcel Sturbage in
- 56:43Speaker 1: advance of the primary. And I think the vast majority
- 56:45Speaker 1: of the listeners would pretty much like the opportunity to
- 56:47Speaker 1: vote in the primary ahead of time. And I suspected
- 56:50Speaker 1: Viva Gramaswam he got the endorsement early for governor because
- 56:53Speaker 1: they wanted to avoid the monetary obligations of having to
- 56:56Speaker 1: fight in a primary. Be that as it may, it's reality,
- 56:59Speaker 1: and I think you would have done fine and would
- 57:01Speaker 1: have prevailed in the primary anyway. But this is where
- 57:02Speaker 1: we stand. But insofar as that is concerned, to generate
- 57:06Speaker 1: a call from someone who wanted to know where Vv.
- 57:08Speaker 1: Ramasomi stood on eradicating the property tax is something that
- 57:10Speaker 1: the caller really sounds like he was desirous of. And
- 57:13Speaker 1: I said, that's fine. You can ask hi me yes
- 57:14Speaker 1: or no question, and I certainly will be willing to
- 57:17Speaker 1: do that. But the problem is it's yes, but I
- 57:20Speaker 1: want to eradicate them but I'm not sure if he
- 57:22Speaker 1: would even say I want to eradicate them. Because Vivi
- 57:24Speaker 1: Ramaswami has been pledging to eliminate the income tax. That,
- 57:30Speaker 1: of course is the answer to a lot of people
- 57:33Speaker 1: response to well, what are you going to do to
- 57:35Speaker 1: generate revenue when the property tax goes away? Many say
- 57:38Speaker 1: just increase the income tax a little bit or maybe
- 57:41Speaker 1: a lot, depending on who you're listening to. That would
- 57:44Speaker 1: not square with what Vivik Ramaswami has been saying along
- 57:47Speaker 1: the campaign trail thus far. Although I cannot find any
- 57:50Speaker 1: definitive statement from him on the property taxes, I know
- 57:53Speaker 1: he's a huge fan of school choice and with that,
- 57:56Speaker 1: I'll want to pivot over to this, is this not
- 57:58Speaker 1: revealing of a pent up demands? And for parents proof
- 58:02Speaker 1: that parents want school choice, we go to Texas. This
- 58:09Speaker 1: was described as the largest school choice rollout in the
- 58:12Speaker 1: entire United States history. One hundred and eighteen thousand applications
- 58:17Speaker 1: have been filed as of this past Friday. Texas Education
- 58:22Speaker 1: Freedom Accounts TEFA state created education Savings Account program and
- 58:26Speaker 1: they did back it with an initial one billion dollar
- 58:28Speaker 1: quote unquote investment. But it gives parents the option to
- 58:31Speaker 1: go to a school that's not in their neighborhood. The
- 58:33Speaker 1: you know, the the zoning. Okay, your kids in this
- 58:35Speaker 1: particular zone. I'm sorry, you can't step foot out of it.
- 58:38Speaker 1: They got rid of that over forty two thousand applications submitted.
- 58:44Speaker 1: On day one. American Federation for Children President Tommy Schultz
- 58:50Speaker 1: been talking about this. Every family wants their children to
- 58:52Speaker 1: have access to the best education possible. Isn't that definitively true.
- 58:56Speaker 1: That's why I keep going back to the idea that
- 58:58Speaker 1: this has no political stripe. The choice should be yours. Republicans, Democrats, Christians, Muslims,
- 59:06Speaker 1: Jewish people, everybody, black, white, Asian, doesn't matter across the
- 59:11Speaker 1: demographic lines. It should be your choice. Every family wants
- 59:18Speaker 1: or children have access to the best education. I know
- 59:20Speaker 1: I did when we were sending our kids to school. Unfortunately, Hey,
- 59:22Speaker 1: public schools work for my kids? Well wow, amazing, amazing
- 59:25Speaker 1: that we had choice and we sent them to the
- 59:27Speaker 1: Loveland Schools. Not quite sure where they are now. Thankfully
- 59:30Speaker 1: I'm many years out of that. But choice, you said,
- 59:34Speaker 1: an education system controlled by the unions that forces kids
- 59:37Speaker 1: to go to a school that isn't serving their needs
- 59:40Speaker 1: is a moral failure for our country. And isn't that
- 59:44Speaker 1: the God's honest truth? And I keep going back to
- 59:48Speaker 1: the idea and this is an often stated problem, an
- 59:51Speaker 1: issue that I've got with the public schools and this
- 59:54Speaker 1: woke direction they've gone in that they would have the nerve,
- 59:56Speaker 1: the audacity, call it, even the sin of advancing a
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: child into the next grave when that child has not
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: mastered the skills of the grade they're in. That is,
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: I think, probably without committing a bodily harm to a child,
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: probably one of the most grievous things we could do
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: to a child. You're not prepared. We're going to move
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: you forward anyway. It's a sink or swim environment, and
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: you're going to sink. Welcome to modern education theory. And
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: of course our response to that would be to what
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: exactly what many one hundred plus thousand people in Texas did.
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: I'm going to pick someplace else to send my school
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: shocking six forty five fifty five care see it's six
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: pot fifty here if if you bi car see de
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: talk station Happy Tuesday.
- 1:00:44Speaker 3: Oh.
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: Here on the heels of my comments about what a
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: senate is to advance a child in the next grave
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: when they can't master the skills of the grade they're in.
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: Here's a nice parallel to draw all the Democrats out there.
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: I think that's a great idea. I don't think you
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: could possibly explain to me how it could be a
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: good idea to do that. But let's take a page
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: out of the Democrat book and start criticizing ICE in
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: connection with moving people along that aren't prepared.
- 1:01:04Speaker 3: Huh.
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: We got a whistleblower, former US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: instructor testifying before Congress. It's reported to meet the demand
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: for recruits for enforcement surges, ICE has stopped failing trainees
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: on practical exams and shifted closed book multiple choice exams
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: to open book. Who said that Ryan Schwank previously taught
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: at the agency's academy in Georgia before his resignation earlier
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: this month. Now take him at his word. I mean,
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: we just assume that what he says is accurate, and
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: I cannot defend if what he says is accurate. He
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: said Ice made the program shorter. This is training, mind you.
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: They remove so many essential parts that what remains is
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: a dangerous husk. The agency's hired thousands and thousands of
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: new officers to deal with his surge. And I certainly
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: understand that, but should we let them be laxed? On training?
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security spokes from a woman named Laura
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: and Biss said the agency has in fact streamline training
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: to cut redundancy and incorporate new technologies, but claims that no,
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: the subject matter hasn't been cut. New recruits still meet
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: the same high standards ICE has always required now. Schwank,
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: for his part, speaking to Congress, said ICE recruits who
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: made glaring mistakes in their final training exercises were nonetheless
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: allowed to graduate. Does that sound like a good idea, right? No,
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: including examples of trainees who accidentally drew their firearms on
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: each other, red flag pulled guns on detainees without justification,
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: pepper sprayed bystanders without cause during simulated exercises, Swang testifying, saying,
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: no matter how badly a cadet does that those practical exams,
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: no matter how many mistakes they make, no matter how
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: many egregious, no matter how egregiously they violate the law
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: during practical we graduate them. He claimed. ICE cut two
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: hundred and forty hours of lessons from a five hundred
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: and eighty four hour program, he said, meant dispensing with
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: classes about firearms safety, lawful arrest, proper detention, and limits
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: to officers authority. I can't abide by that. I don't
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: think we would have accept police cadets graduating from the
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: Police Academy if they didn't graduate with reasonably with passable marks.
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: So figure that one out. It's okay to let kids graduate.
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: It's just it's okay to let ice officers graduate without
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: proper trainings. Just let kids do it. It'll serve all
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: of us really really well. Anyhow, But up, up, up, bomb,
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: What else do I have here? Remind you that coming
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: up where we're talking with Daniel Davis deep dive. Of
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: course it's Tuesday at eight thirty. We do that again,
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: just fun fact. This morning, I am remaining reeling from
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: the idea and the just recognition that we have now
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: dealt with this Ukraine Russian war. Now this is the
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: fifth year, and I'm anxious to hear what Daniel Davis
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: says about the statistics released by the so called nonpartisan
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: Center for Strategic and Intelligent Studies. The deaths are catastrophic,
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: according to their figures. There have been three hundred and
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: twenty five thousand fatalities. That's on the Russian side, one
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: point two million casualties. That's a lot of folks walking
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: around without a limb or maybe rolling around. It's sad.
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: As for the Ukrainian six hundred thousand casualties and one
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: hundred and forty thousand dead. Those are huge numbers to
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: grasp and one can only pray that there is some
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: resolution to the bloodshed going on between those two countries,
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: and very quickly. So five. I'm sorry, we're gonna have
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: Dave Williams Taxpayer Protection Alliance. We've got the State of
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: the Union address. It's seven oh six at fifty five
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: Garris De Talk Station. Brian Thomas always happy to see
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: this man on the rundown. He is Dave Williams from
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: the Taxpayer Protection Alliance, looking out for where they spend
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: your money and they rarely do a good job of
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: it protecting taxpayers. Dot org is where you find Dave
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: and the crew at Taxpayer Protection Alliance. Welcome back to
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: my friend Dave Williams. It's always great having on the
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: fifty five Karosee Morning Show.
- 1:05:30Speaker 3: Good morning, Brian and you know what a day this
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: is going to be. We start out with this and
- 1:05:34Speaker 3: then end with the State of the Union to it's.
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: Quite the book end. Well, it is quite the bookend.
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: But I guarantee you our discussion, as long as I
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: might want it to go, is going to be a
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: lot more abbreviated than the State of the Union address.
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: You don't think Trump's going to run over time, do you?
- 1:05:49Speaker 4: Oh?
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: My goodness.
- 1:05:50Speaker 3: So last night I was on Twitter. I don't know why,
- 1:05:52Speaker 3: but I was, and Trump came out and said, this
- 1:05:56Speaker 3: is gonna be a long speech.
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, Oh no, he gave us a heads up.
- 1:06:02Speaker 10: Yes he did.
- 1:06:02Speaker 3: He said I have a lot to talk about and
- 1:06:04Speaker 3: that's not good.
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: No, Now, you know say we you know him at
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: Donald Trump, love him, hate him. He does have a
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: tendency to ramble on and he does go off script
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: quite often. Do you think he was referring to the
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: actual script being extra long or this is uh? Are
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: his extra comments part of the reason he gave us
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: a warning at a time?
- 1:06:23Speaker 3: Probably his extra comments because I think he's still smarting
- 1:06:26Speaker 3: from the tariff ruling on Friday, so that's probably top
- 1:06:30Speaker 3: of mind. And you know, he may spend a lot
- 1:06:33Speaker 3: of time on that.
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: Well, what a pointless waste of time for him to do.
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: That is going to be critical the Supreme Court's analysis,
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: which you know, for anybody who really appreciates West Virginia
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: versus EPA and this whole major Questions doc room, which
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: goes a long way to eliminate the deep state and
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: the administrative state. That was a blessing beyond blessings for
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: the from the Supreme Court. It's the exact same principle
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: upon which they ruled his his tariffs. We're not constitutional.
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: There is nothing in the International Emergency Powers Act which
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: allows him to use the emergency powers he declared under
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: that for purposes of increasing taxes or levying tariffs on
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: other countries. There's nothing in there that even mentions taxes
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: or tariffs or taxes are tarriffs.
- 1:07:13Speaker 3: Dave, Dave No and Brian, I'm glad you brought up
- 1:07:16Speaker 3: that West Virginia case because you're right, this really helped
- 1:07:19Speaker 3: dismantle the deep state, the agencies and really agencies being
- 1:07:24Speaker 3: able to just dictate what they want. And you know,
- 1:07:27Speaker 3: you look at the two cases right, practically the same
- 1:07:29Speaker 3: Supreme Court. These folks are looking at these issues on
- 1:07:33Speaker 3: a constitutional basis, right, you know, and there's going to
- 1:07:37Speaker 3: be difference of opinion within the halls of the Supreme Court.
- 1:07:40Speaker 3: But you know, you can't embrace one Supreme Court decision
- 1:07:45Speaker 3: and then trash another one because.
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: You know, this is just how it works.
- 1:07:49Speaker 3: And you know what happened on Friday, I thought, you know,
- 1:07:52Speaker 3: took it. Didn't take any courage for the Supreme Court
- 1:07:55Speaker 3: because nowhere in the Constitution doesn't talk about terrorists and
- 1:08:00Speaker 3: it and being able to do this, and thank god,
- 1:08:02Speaker 3: because Congress needs to get investment. If you are going
- 1:08:06Speaker 3: to raise attacks on the American consumer, the American public,
- 1:08:10Speaker 3: Congress has to be this and listen, I think Speaker
- 1:08:13Speaker 3: Mike Johnson has done an okay job, right. This is
- 1:08:17Speaker 3: really where he's dropped the ball is not bringing tariffs
- 1:08:20Speaker 3: to a vote on the House floor for the past
- 1:08:22Speaker 3: two or three years.
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: It's very frustrated, well it is, But I think I
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: share everyone's exasperation on the dysfunction that we have with
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: Congress generally. I mean I personally have not witnessed a
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: phenomenon like this Trump arrangement syndrome, which i'll call it.
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: In spite of the fact that that is obviously a
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: biased way of looking at it, but it's just become
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: almost a joke in and of itself that literally, anything
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: Donald Trump wants, the Democrats immedia are going to say
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: no to it, even if something they traditionally were in
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: favor of. I mean, how many Democrats are on record
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: wanting strong and secure borders and deporting like the deporter
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: in chief Barack Obama seeing it, doing victory laps over
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: the number of people he deported from this country. Fast
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: forward to five minutes ago. In time you got Donald
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: Trump doing the same thing they were praising Obama doing.
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: And now it's the worst possible a breach of morality
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: that you could ever possibly come up with.
- 1:09:12Speaker 3: And Brian tax cuts. You have a lot of middle
- 1:09:15Speaker 3: class families that are getting a bigger tax cut because
- 1:09:18Speaker 3: of Donald Trump. Do the Democrats not want that? Do
- 1:09:22Speaker 3: the Democrats not want more money in the pockets of
- 1:09:25Speaker 3: the people that need it the most? So you're right,
- 1:09:27Speaker 3: this Trump, you know, Trump arrangement syndrome is ridiculous. And
- 1:09:31Speaker 3: so I've been reading that a lot of Democrats now
- 1:09:34Speaker 3: won't show up to the State of the Union, which
- 1:09:36Speaker 3: is they're acting like spoiled breasts are If you are
- 1:09:40Speaker 3: a member of Congress and you having an opportunity to
- 1:09:44Speaker 3: be at a State of the Union live to watch
- 1:09:47Speaker 3: this unfold, why would you not go? Regardless of whether
- 1:09:51Speaker 3: you agree or disagree with who's giving the State of
- 1:09:54Speaker 3: the Union, this is not something that I mean, very
- 1:09:58Speaker 3: few people have an opportunity to witness this live right
- 1:10:02Speaker 3: and to act like a spoiled brat And because you
- 1:10:04Speaker 3: don't like what he's going to say is to stay home?
- 1:10:07Speaker 3: I think, is they really have lost the script here?
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: Man? Well it is. You know, I have this mental
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: image of you know, the four year old and holding
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: his ears and closing his eyes and going d da
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: da da da because they don't want to hear the
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: words that are coming out of his mouth. The words
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: are going to come out of his mouth like it
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: or not. And I think it's a it's an obligation
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: owned to your constituents. You're going to show up there
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: and you know, maybe express some descent. People stand up
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: and clap, People also express descent based upon whatever comes
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: out of the of the President's mouth during the State
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: of the Union.
- 1:10:39Speaker 3: Yeah, and listen, this is obviously, you know, historic. Every
- 1:10:42Speaker 3: State of the Union is historic, and why would you
- 1:10:45Speaker 3: miss that? And why would you, you know, act like
- 1:10:48Speaker 3: a petulant child and and miss that. There are so
- 1:10:51Speaker 3: many most of your listeners right now be like I
- 1:10:53Speaker 3: would love to be in that room. I would love
- 1:10:56Speaker 3: to sit there and watch this thing unfold. But you
- 1:10:59Speaker 3: have self entitled Democrats who are going to stay home.
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: Yeah, stay at home, all right? What do you expect
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: from this, Dave? I know Donald Trump every time I've
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: heard him talk, you know, and he does long winded
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: press conferences as well, which is obviously a refreshing change
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: from the absence of Joe Biden running his presidency from
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: the basement somewhere in some bunker. But he does have
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: a tendency to repeat himself over and over again, and
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: he loves pointing out all his accomplishments, but it goes
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: on ad nauseum. Again, repetition is a problem I think
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: for the president. Is that really kind of what we're
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: going to expect tonight?
- 1:11:38Speaker 3: Well, I'm concerned. This is an election year and the
- 1:11:41Speaker 3: House has a very narrow majority. The Republicans have a
- 1:11:45Speaker 3: very narrow majority in the House, and I think the
- 1:11:48Speaker 3: president is going to lay out some very populist policies.
- 1:11:52Speaker 3: We've all some previews of that, you know, in the
- 1:11:55Speaker 3: past year, whether it's capping interest rates for credit cards.
- 1:12:00Speaker 3: You know he's going to double and triple down on terrorists.
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: We know that.
- 1:12:03Speaker 3: Right is you go and talk about refund checks to people,
- 1:12:06Speaker 3: and whenever you hear the word investment, replace that with spending. Yes,
- 1:12:11Speaker 3: an investment is a spending item, and you know we're
- 1:12:14Speaker 3: going to tally up all of the spending and figure
- 1:12:17Speaker 3: out exactly how much more he wants to spend, because
- 1:12:20Speaker 3: that's what presidents do. Democrats do it. George Bush did it.
- 1:12:24Speaker 3: Republicans across the board. This is what they do during
- 1:12:26Speaker 3: State of the Union. They talk about these investments and
- 1:12:29Speaker 3: that means more spending. What you won't hear, Brian is
- 1:12:32Speaker 3: about doge. It's about cutting spending, cutting wastefile spending that
- 1:12:37Speaker 3: for some reason has gone out of the lexicon of
- 1:12:40Speaker 3: the Republicans' brains. And listen, it was never in the Democrats'
- 1:12:43Speaker 3: brains to cut spending. At least the Republicans thought about
- 1:12:46Speaker 3: it for about five or six months. But we will
- 1:12:49Speaker 3: not hear anything about dose because that's dead and it's
- 1:12:53Speaker 3: just it's frustrating that we have an opportunity. The Republican
- 1:12:56Speaker 3: Congress has an opportunity, and they're not taking it. When
- 1:12:59Speaker 3: it comes to the deficit of the debt and spending.
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: Well, there is no doubt in my mind that is
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: something that should be a number one topic as far
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: as I'm concerned. Dave and I understand the populist kind
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: of thing, and I can go back to the fact
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: that Donald Trump never was a you know, a diet
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: in the world Republican. He kind of did what is
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: good throughout his entire life. For Donald Trump, and I
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: understand that. I always say, the fool is the one
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: who's not looking out for his own best interest. So
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: he's a horse of a different color when it comes
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: to long term politics. But he's thrown out all kinds
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: of populist policies that Democrats would otherwise suggest, like Fanny
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: and Freddie Mack purchasing two hundred billion dollars in mort
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: back mortgage backed securities, his proposal to force credit card
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: companies to put a ten percent cap on interest rates,
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: his idea of preventing institutional investors from buying real estate.
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: I mean, these are not traditional free market conservative ideas.
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: Dave Williams, No, and.
- 1:13:51Speaker 3: Brian, you talk about the institutional you know, folks buying
- 1:13:55Speaker 3: the property one percent, They own one percent of housing
- 1:14:00Speaker 3: in this country. Yet he wants to have an executive
- 1:14:04Speaker 3: order stopping that. So, you know, all these problems are
- 1:14:07Speaker 3: always overblown and it's always the government that has to
- 1:14:10Speaker 3: come into the rescue and fixing. Well, first of all,
- 1:14:13Speaker 3: there isn't a problem with this. Again, one percent of
- 1:14:15Speaker 3: homes in this country are owned by institutional investors.
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: Yeah, I've seen it as high as too, but you're right,
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: it's a very very low percentage. It is not a
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: problem screaming for a solution in other words, Dave, And
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: it's not the what is driving the increase in cost
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: of real estate. I think we figured that one out.
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: It was COVID and people not going to work anymore
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: and having desire for a place that's hell and gone
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: away from the Democrat underwater, you know, regulatory overreached states
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: and cities that they lived in. Dave Williams, I want
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: to go back to your Doge comment when you come back,
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: and also get some more insight where you think these
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: presidents should go with the state of the Union but
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: I just saw an interesting breakdown of what's going on
- 1:14:55Speaker 1: in Minnesota, and I think this is something that we
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: should all scree screaming, all of us Democrats are Republicans alive,
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: screaming from the top of our lungs to stop this
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: from ever being able to happen again. It's a nightmare.
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: What's going on? Fifty five KRCD Talk Station, Happy Tuesday,
- 1:15:12Speaker 1: Brian Thomas with Dave Williams from the Taxpayer Protection Alliance
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: joining the program. Next Tom Zawastowski from We the People Convention.
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: We're going to get his impressions on what he wants
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: from the state of the Union. But also how is
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: it that the Republican Party here in the state of
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: Ohio has endorsed candidates before the primaries. Anyway, back to
- 1:15:26Speaker 1: Dave Williams. I mentioned this article on the air the
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: other day, Dave Williams, and you probably get imprimus. The
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: publication from Hillsdale College Scott Johnson's reporting on the Minnesota
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: Somali fraud scandle is in depth. It's eye opening, and
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: it should enrage people of all political stripes given the
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: literally billions of dollars that were literally stolen from the
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: American taxpayer because they just don't care about following the money.
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: In Minnesota, they made it easy, greased the skids for
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: companies to create fictitious companies to allegedly do something for
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: the people, and then create subsidiary companies, and they rifled
- 1:16:10Speaker 1: money back and forth because they claimed to be serving
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: genuine people. The businesses were set up to serve no one.
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: They created fake people and claimed to be feeding them
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: and clothing them and providing services for them, all on
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: the American taxpayer at all. This is federal money that's
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: being filtered right through into these Somali organizations. This is criminal.
- 1:16:28Speaker 4: This is criminal.
- 1:16:29Speaker 3: This is billions of dollars in one state alone. I
- 1:16:33Speaker 3: know this is happening in other states. We all know
- 1:16:36Speaker 3: that it's happening in other states. And let's look at
- 1:16:38Speaker 3: the discussion that we had last year with the one
- 1:16:40Speaker 3: big beautiful bill and the Medicaid work requirements. Everyone's arms
- 1:16:44Speaker 3: were off saying, oh my gosh, I can't believe that
- 1:16:47Speaker 3: you're cutting Medicaid, that you're requiring people to actually, you know,
- 1:16:51Speaker 3: look for work, and you know there's no waste fraud
- 1:16:53Speaker 3: abuse in Medicaid. And then you know, a couple of
- 1:16:56Speaker 3: months later we see just in one state, was it
- 1:16:58Speaker 3: eight or nine billion dollars in this fraud? And this
- 1:17:02Speaker 3: translates to so much more across the rest of the country,
- 1:17:06Speaker 3: and we know that this is happening. That's the crazy
- 1:17:08Speaker 3: thing is. And it didn't take an auditor and inspector general.
- 1:17:13Speaker 10: This was a YouTuber.
- 1:17:14Speaker 3: This was some sort of social media guy that did this.
- 1:17:17Speaker 2: Was it?
- 1:17:18Speaker 3: Nick Shirley uncovered this? And I mean talk about citizen journalism.
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: Well, I mean Nick Shirley uncovered it, which was a
- 1:17:26Speaker 1: great thing. It opened up a lot of people's eyes.
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: But he's not the first person to do it. Back
- 1:17:30Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen, a local reporter named Jeff Ballion he
- 1:17:34Speaker 1: reported on daycare fraud. Then he also did it in
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. And there was another guy, Jay Coles, who
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: is also a local reporter. He went to two of
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: the ten sites that Shirley visited prior to Shirley visited,
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: I mean, found one site guilty of ninety five violations,
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: including no records for sixteen children between twenty nineteen and
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. Yet in spite of that reporting and
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: everyone got the report on it, nothing happened and the
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: money continued to flow. That's the insult. And you know why,
- 1:17:59Speaker 1: Dave Williams, they cite it's the concern over claims of racism.
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: And I was talking about this the other day. What
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: a bunch of Barbara Streissan that is. If this was
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: Italian mob activity, Dave, if this was mobsters as in
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: organized crime as we traditionally understand it, you know, godfather
- 1:18:17Speaker 1: level stuff, they would be claiming that the mob has
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: done this. Do mobsters represent all people in the Italian
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: American community or Italians generally, Dave. We know the answer
- 1:18:27Speaker 1: to that is no. Are every single member the Somali
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: community in Minnesota engaged in fraud? I'd venture to say
- 1:18:33Speaker 1: probably not, if not definitively no, Not everyone's involved. What
- 1:18:37Speaker 1: we're focusing on are the criminals within that given community.
- 1:18:41Speaker 3: It's just hmmm, yeah, Brian, this is about virtue signaling,
- 1:18:45Speaker 3: not about trying to save tax.
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: Payer money vir signaling.
- 1:18:49Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely absolutely, And you know they've been hiding behind
- 1:18:53Speaker 3: this for for years. And you mentioned the twenty thirteen
- 1:18:56Speaker 3: I didn't even know that that report. You know that
- 1:18:59Speaker 3: investigation happen and that so this is news to May
- 1:19:02Speaker 3: But twelve.
- 1:19:03Speaker 1: Years read Imprimis. Well, you know, it actually goes back
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: to twenty fifteen when they found out that the smaller
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: community or the yeah, the smaller community up there was
- 1:19:12Speaker 1: a source of ISIS recruits. The FBI opened an investigation,
- 1:19:15Speaker 1: they found and convicted a whole bunch of them, and
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: that kind of spilled over once they got rid of
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: that threat, you know, oh my god, they're all joining ISIS.
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: Then it's billed over. They figured out how to build
- 1:19:25Speaker 1: the welfare system, and this is an in depth analysis
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: of it, which is why I wish everyone would read
- 1:19:30Speaker 1: this article Imprimus, January twenty twenty six, volume fifty five,
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: number one article by Scott Johnson. It's the only thing
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: printed in the in the flyer. Read it. It's eye opening,
- 1:19:39Speaker 1: and it's frightening, scary, and it really, quite frankly, angers me,
- 1:19:42Speaker 1: as you can tell by the tone of my voice.
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: Dave Williams.
- 1:19:44Speaker 3: And what's the follow up, Brian, that's a follow up
- 1:19:47Speaker 3: to make sure this doesn't happen again. You know, state officials,
- 1:19:50Speaker 3: federal officials have such a short attention span is that
- 1:19:54Speaker 3: they're happy to talk about it for a week, but
- 1:19:56Speaker 3: there will be no follow up to this whatsoever.
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: Which is why I think it's in spite of the
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: fact you don't think it's going to be brought up
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: the Doge efforts. That's exactly what should be highlighted. You
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: know what, if I was Donald Trump, I take five
- 1:20:07Speaker 1: to ten minutes of my time, I would read verbatim
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: this article and we welcome to the American people waking
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: up to this challenge, this reality. They don't care once
- 1:20:15Speaker 1: the money's been sent out the door. They just seems
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: to be quite happy with the fact that it's being
- 1:20:20Speaker 1: stolen in funding the Somali community and even terrorists Al
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: Shabab got some money out of this.
- 1:20:26Speaker 3: Yeah, outrageous. And listen, I really hope, you know, he
- 1:20:29Speaker 3: does talk about waste, ratten abuse tonight. I hope that
- 1:20:32Speaker 3: there is some sort of fiscal message other than spending
- 1:20:37Speaker 3: more money. I hope they're in and you know, tax reform.
- 1:20:41Speaker 3: So here's kind of a take on the he's suing
- 1:20:44Speaker 3: the IRS for the leaked records. It's the ten billion
- 1:20:46Speaker 3: dollar lawsuit against the IRS. I am supportive of this
- 1:20:50Speaker 3: lawsuit except for the ten billion dollars. The IRS has
- 1:20:54Speaker 3: to be held accountable for what they are doing for
- 1:20:57Speaker 3: leaking information. Now, should Donald Trump or nonprofits get the
- 1:21:02Speaker 3: ten billion? Now, this is not about the money, It's
- 1:21:05Speaker 3: about holding people accountable at these agencies. We've seen this
- 1:21:08Speaker 3: for the past ten to fifteen years where the IRS
- 1:21:12Speaker 3: leaks information. Lois Lerner she refused to give nonprofit status
- 1:21:17Speaker 3: to right wing to conservative groups. This has been ongoing
- 1:21:21Speaker 3: at the IRS and nothing is ever done, No names
- 1:21:24Speaker 3: are ever released as to who did this.
- 1:21:26Speaker 1: No one is fired.
- 1:21:28Speaker 3: So if this lawsuit does anything, I hope it brings
- 1:21:32Speaker 3: that out and we find out who was responsible for
- 1:21:35Speaker 3: this and they get fired.
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: Amen. Dave Williams the Taxpayer Protection Liance. Find his page

- 1:22:01Speaker 1: talk about Mexico with Daniel Davis as well, and I'm
- 1:22:04Speaker 1: looking forward to doing that the meantime, Tom z Awastowski
- 1:22:05Speaker 1: you can find him online that we the People Convention
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: dot Org. Welcome back, Tom z Awastowski. Is a pleasure
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: to have you on this morning.
- 1:22:11Speaker 4: Oh, good morning, Brian, as we talk about gold medal
- 1:22:15Speaker 4: wins and men's and women hockey, and we got you
- 1:22:18Speaker 4: talking about fifty degree temperatures in Cincinnati and spring baseball starting. Yeah,
- 1:22:23Speaker 4: I'm in a good mood this morning, bro us tonight.
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. And we'll get to the State of the
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: Union address here. At a moment, I got a comment
- 1:22:31Speaker 1: I did not mention the hockey victory, and I kind
- 1:22:33Speaker 1: of felt badly that I didn't. It was a fantastic game.
- 1:22:36Speaker 1: I thoroughly enjoyed watching it, even though I'm not a
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: huge hockey fan. But I remember watching the Dream Team
- 1:22:41Speaker 1: back in nineteen eighty beat the Soviets. You know what
- 1:22:44Speaker 1: I forgot about that. I remember being elated. It was
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: a moment of true patriotism. You could feel it surgeon
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: through your body. We beat the Soviet Union, but the
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: one element and I was trying to compare my reaction
- 1:22:56Speaker 1: to the win for the United States just the other
- 1:22:58Speaker 1: day to that one, because I didn't feel that same
- 1:23:00Speaker 1: surge of emotion and enthusiasm. Yeah maybe I'm sixty or whatever. No,
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: you know what was absent from it, And this is
- 1:23:06Speaker 1: not to negate from the victory nineteen eighty. Those were
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: all amateurs. Remember, they couldn't allow they didn't allow professional
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: sports players. It wasn't like they got folks from the
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: Blackhawks playing in the Olympics. These were just like college kids,
- 1:23:19Speaker 1: that's who. The Russians were all pros, right, those right,
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: So big distinction between the two victories, and I just
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: didn't want it to be overlooked that it was great
- 1:23:31Speaker 1: in both cases. But I give the ad to the
- 1:23:34Speaker 1: nineteen eighty team just given the fact that they were
- 1:23:36Speaker 1: all amateurs playing against you know, hardened Russian thug pros.
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: All right, we're out of time. In this segment, we'll
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: bring Tomas Alstowski back to talk about the state of
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: the Union, as well as maybe a comment or two
- 1:23:47Speaker 1: about the Ohigh Republican Party endorsing candidates in advance of
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: the primary. It's got some of my listeners rubbed the
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: wrong way and maybe me a little bit too. More
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: with Tom z Awastowski, a seven thirty five care CD
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: talk station find it, but we the People Convention dot
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: Org and check out his weekly podcast, It's Tom's Austowski.
- 1:24:05Speaker 1: We're gonna piot over to the Supreme State of the
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: Union address that's tonight. I talked in the last segment
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: with Dave Williams from the Taxpayer Protection Alliance, and although
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: we both agree and you can chime in on the
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: length of time it's gonna take, it's probably gonna go
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: really long. And in fact, Donald Trump even commented how
- 1:24:19Speaker 1: long it's going to be get ahead of the speech,
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: but he suggested and again we're just tea leaf reading
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: here or taking guesses that Trump probably will not mention
- 1:24:29Speaker 1: like doge or fraud, wasted abuse. And I think, to me,
- 1:24:33Speaker 1: that's one of the most important issues that we face
- 1:24:36Speaker 1: today given what's unfolded in Minneapolis among the Somali community,
- 1:24:39Speaker 1: the fraudsters and criminals in that community, not all of
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: them for you people and accuse me of being racist,
- 1:24:44Speaker 1: shut up, but billions and billions they're talking. It's already
- 1:24:49Speaker 1: they found like nine billion dollars in just stolen money,
- 1:24:53Speaker 1: but it may be much much bigger than that. And
- 1:24:55Speaker 1: Tom's ALASKAUSI that's one city in this entire country of ours,
- 1:24:58Speaker 1: of three hundred and fifty million people. You know, it's everywhere,
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: or potentially everywhere. This is something that every single person
- 1:25:06Speaker 1: who pays money in the American taxation system should be
- 1:25:09Speaker 1: outraged about.
- 1:25:11Speaker 4: Yeah, Brian, I think you guys are onto something. You know,
- 1:25:14Speaker 4: we talk about, you know, and the problem in Trump
- 1:25:17Speaker 4: time is there's so much going on, you know, you
- 1:25:19Speaker 4: can't you know, focus. But here's the truth. I think
- 1:25:23Speaker 4: that what you're talking about, the theft of our tax dollars,
- 1:25:26Speaker 4: is what resonates with all of us, right. You know,
- 1:25:30Speaker 4: we're watching what's going on Minneapolis about your ice and
- 1:25:32Speaker 4: all that. Well, you know, ice isn't in my neighborhood.
- 1:25:35Speaker 4: I'm not having that problem. I can't really relate to it.
- 1:25:38Speaker 4: But boy, when they start talking about nine billion dollars
- 1:25:41Speaker 4: of Medicare money or other you know, social welfare programs
- 1:25:45Speaker 4: being stolen, that's my money. And everyone I talked to
- 1:25:49Speaker 4: is animated about that. So I agree, if President Trump
- 1:25:53Speaker 4: does take your advice and he does talk about that,
- 1:25:56Speaker 4: it's going to be more important than almost anything else
- 1:25:59Speaker 4: he says, because it affects all of us, right, and
- 1:26:01Speaker 4: we are personally offended by that and we want it fixed.
- 1:26:06Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's so simple to do. Who could
- 1:26:09Speaker 1: argue with him if he says, listen, I want to
- 1:26:12Speaker 1: have a straight, face to face. I want to reveal
- 1:26:15Speaker 1: this to you. Are you a tax payer and you
- 1:26:18Speaker 1: could be of any political stripe if you're paying money
- 1:26:20Speaker 1: into the system, or you're reliant upon this system, like
- 1:26:24Speaker 1: to say, someone on Social Security who's getting ready to
- 1:26:26Speaker 1: go on Social Security and realizes it's going to bankrupt
- 1:26:29Speaker 1: itself just a way that's been designed by design, then
- 1:26:33Speaker 1: you would be upset if you knew that billions of dollars,
- 1:26:37Speaker 1: maybe tens of billions, who knows how much it can
- 1:26:39Speaker 1: be by way of fraud, waste and abuse that they've
- 1:26:41Speaker 1: already identified nine billion in Minneapolis alone. That resonates this
- 1:26:46Speaker 1: is not a political thing. This is criminal behavior and
- 1:26:49Speaker 1: it cannot be excused, and I cannot be left without
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: prosecution or maybe efforts to claw that money back to
- 1:26:57Speaker 1: the extent it hasn't gone into the ether, but damn it,
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: everyone should be outraged. Everyone.
- 1:27:02Speaker 4: Well, Brian, and you know I've heard numbers from Tom
- 1:27:06Speaker 4: Cotton and others that the total might be a trillion
- 1:27:09Speaker 4: dollars yep a year. That's trillion dollars a year. And
- 1:27:13Speaker 4: we wouldn't be surprised by that because, as you said,
- 1:27:16Speaker 4: you read the Imprimis article. Oh my gosh, I mean,
- 1:27:19Speaker 4: it's so easy to steal from us. It's just insane.
- 1:27:23Speaker 4: They don't care, like you said, they just don't care. Well,
- 1:27:26Speaker 4: they better start, Karen, because this is real money and
- 1:27:30Speaker 4: we're real upset about it. And I again, let's take action, folks,
- 1:27:34Speaker 4: everyone listening. Give a call to your senator, give a
- 1:27:37Speaker 4: call to your congressman, and say, listen, this is a
- 1:27:40Speaker 4: top priority for me. You need to guard our money.
- 1:27:44Speaker 4: That's your job is to guard our hard earned tax dollars.
- 1:27:48Speaker 1: Well, you know, Tom, isn't it sort of a strange
- 1:27:51Speaker 1: thing that if Democrats were demanding accountability in any given
- 1:27:57Speaker 1: program whatsoever. Let let's say, let's turn over to some
- 1:28:00Speaker 1: and they typically do not like defense spending. And Tom,
- 1:28:03Speaker 1: I'll be the first person to say, this should be
- 1:28:05Speaker 1: huge audit of the Defense Department because last eight times
- 1:28:08Speaker 1: they tried to do it, they didn't have records that
- 1:28:09Speaker 1: would allow them to even conduct an audit. Red flag,
- 1:28:12Speaker 1: that's my money. I want to spend properly. I want
- 1:28:14Speaker 1: the American military funded properly. But if the Democrats would
- 1:28:17Speaker 1: say that, we would have said, okay, well, who can
- 1:28:19Speaker 1: argue with that? Who can argue with that? The question
- 1:28:21Speaker 1: Tom's alistause he becomes when they don't want to investigate it,
- 1:28:25Speaker 1: when they want to turn the blind eye into it,
- 1:28:26Speaker 1: blind eye to it, or they don't even want to
- 1:28:28Speaker 1: talk about it. What in the hell nefarious activity is
- 1:28:32Speaker 1: going on behind the scenes of this outwardly criminal activity.
- 1:28:36Speaker 4: Tom, Well, that's the part that hears me, Brian. It's
- 1:28:41Speaker 4: the people that, let you know, I remember Max Miller
- 1:28:43Speaker 4: did an interview a couple of weeks ago our Congress
- 1:28:46Speaker 4: went up here and he said, oh, in every House
- 1:28:49Speaker 4: committee we have people who are jobbing is to look
- 1:28:54Speaker 4: for fraud. And he said, we're going to look into that.
- 1:28:56Speaker 4: I said, look into it. They've been doing it for
- 1:28:59Speaker 4: fifteen years and you never found it, then why would
- 1:29:02Speaker 4: I think you're going to find it now? The problem
- 1:29:04Speaker 4: is it's institutionalized fraud and both parties are aware of
- 1:29:09Speaker 4: it and in on it. And that's what's so scary,
- 1:29:12Speaker 4: and that's why Donald Trump's job is so difficult. And
- 1:29:15Speaker 4: cash Mattel and Pam BONDI and the rest of them
- 1:29:17Speaker 4: because the whole system is corrupt.
- 1:29:20Speaker 1: Well tell you what, Tom, based upon our conversation, the
- 1:29:23Speaker 1: fact that I brought that in Primus article up so much,
- 1:29:25Speaker 1: I just sent the link to juzz tracker. It's readily
- 1:29:27Speaker 1: available at Hillsdale College and Prima site online. He's going
- 1:29:31Speaker 1: to add the link to my blog page fifty five
- 1:29:32Speaker 1: carsee dot com. So what have been telling people to read?
- 1:29:34Speaker 1: It'll be readily available to read fifty five carseee dot
- 1:29:38Speaker 1: com probably within the next five or ten minutes or so. Tom,
- 1:29:40Speaker 1: hold on, I want to get your I want to
- 1:29:42Speaker 1: hear your reaction to how is it the Republican Party
- 1:29:44Speaker 1: in the state of Ohio is going ahead and endorsing
- 1:29:46Speaker 1: candidates in advance of primaries contested. Well, maybe not. We'll
- 1:29:52Speaker 1: see what happens. Is he wants if you about car
- 1:29:54Speaker 1: Ce Talks Station Happy Tuesday, you get the inside scoop
- 1:29:58Speaker 1: up at the top of the our News White House
- 1:29:59Speaker 1: corresponding Gilbertson also talking about the state of the Indian
- 1:30:02Speaker 1: address tonight Daniel Davis Dee dive at eight thirty and
- 1:30:04Speaker 1: in the meantime, Tom's Awastowski. We the people Convention dot Org. Tom,
- 1:30:08Speaker 1: what's your take on the Republican Party here in Ohio
- 1:30:10Speaker 1: endorsing candidates in advance of the primary. Now I kind
- 1:30:13Speaker 1: of understood. I happen to like VV Ramaswa. I mean,
- 1:30:16Speaker 1: say what you want. I think he's a good guy, smart,
- 1:30:17Speaker 1: I've met him, you know, I just is brilliant. I
- 1:30:19Speaker 1: think it'll be good for Ohio, and I kind of
- 1:30:21Speaker 1: understand why the Republican Party might have wanted to endorse
- 1:30:24Speaker 1: him for governor in advance. First off, he was way
- 1:30:26Speaker 1: ahead and of all the polls that I was aware of.
- 1:30:28Speaker 1: But to take the money interest component out of it,
- 1:30:31Speaker 1: they have to fight a primary. They're going to be
- 1:30:32Speaker 1: a lot of money spent this guy versus that guy.
- 1:30:34Speaker 1: In order to avoid that problem, just go ahead and
- 1:30:37Speaker 1: endorse him and move on. That seems to have worked
- 1:30:39Speaker 1: in that particular case. But I was kind of puzzled
- 1:30:41Speaker 1: because Marcel Sturbage came across as a real, I mean,
- 1:30:44Speaker 1: a brilliant guy. I mean, he is committed, he knows
- 1:30:47Speaker 1: the issues, he can talk fairly, plainly and clearly on them,
- 1:30:51Speaker 1: and so a lot of the polls I guess had
- 1:30:53Speaker 1: him ahead over Robert Sprague and yet the Republican Party
- 1:30:56Speaker 1: in Ohio went ahead and endorse Robert Sprague. You got
- 1:30:59Speaker 1: a problem with that time, because a lot of my
- 1:31:01Speaker 1: listeners are screaming in my ear, you know, via text
- 1:31:03Speaker 1: message and another communication that they are kind of angry.
- 1:31:07Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I've got a problem with that, because, again,
- 1:31:10Speaker 4: it was just dirty politics. It wasn't about hey, let's
- 1:31:13Speaker 4: talk about which qualifications each candidate has and let's pick
- 1:31:17Speaker 4: the best candidate. It was about party power. And so
- 1:31:21Speaker 4: you know, there was a hit piece put out by
- 1:31:23Speaker 4: you know, the Luke Abrazi of the Republican Party, Dave
- 1:31:26Speaker 4: Johnson from Trombull County, Okay, who you know, just you know,
- 1:31:31Speaker 4: put out this horrible uh, Colombiana County, I'm sorry, put
- 1:31:34Speaker 4: out this terrible hit piece on stourage about how he
- 1:31:37Speaker 4: didn't raise money right and he's affiliating with the wrong people,
- 1:31:41Speaker 4: et cetera. You know, here's the problem, Brian. You know,
- 1:31:44Speaker 4: I think you and I both agree with President Washington
- 1:31:47Speaker 4: who said the political parties would be the death of
- 1:31:49Speaker 4: the republic. I wish there were no political parties. I
- 1:31:53Speaker 4: also have a problem, and you would too. I think
- 1:31:55Speaker 4: that why do we the taxpayers spend twenty five million dollars.
- 1:32:00Speaker 4: That's what it's going to cost for us to put
- 1:32:02Speaker 4: on the May sixth primary this year for private institutions.
- 1:32:07Speaker 4: The Republican Party and the Democratic Party are not government agencies,
- 1:32:11Speaker 4: they are private companies. Why are we paying for them
- 1:32:16Speaker 4: to put on a primary? That's a sham, that's just
- 1:32:19Speaker 4: basically a scam. And that's what I don't like. I
- 1:32:23Speaker 4: think I told Marcel, I said, Marcel, you should have
- 1:32:25Speaker 4: ran as an independent. Why do you want to play
- 1:32:28Speaker 4: these stupid party games when it's it's a rig game.
- 1:32:31Speaker 4: You can't win a rig game. So I'm I'm mad
- 1:32:34Speaker 4: about it. But I still tell people you can still
- 1:32:37Speaker 4: show up for the primary and vote for Marcel.
- 1:32:39Speaker 1: That is true.
- 1:32:40Speaker 4: Endorsement is the decision. You can vote. But you know what,
- 1:32:43Speaker 4: it's a big finger on the scale because the candidates
- 1:32:46Speaker 4: that get indoors get to use the parties has a
- 1:32:50Speaker 4: special deal for mailings and things like that that save
- 1:32:53Speaker 4: you're like fifty percent of the cost of campaigning, and
- 1:32:56Speaker 4: Marcel's not going to have that.
- 1:32:58Speaker 1: Robert Sprig's going to well, it's how are the pink slip,
- 1:33:00Speaker 1: isn't it?
- 1:33:01Speaker 7: Tom?
- 1:33:01Speaker 1: So many people are not fully engaged in politics, haven't
- 1:33:04Speaker 1: taken the time to do their own homework and determined
- 1:33:06Speaker 1: whether or not, you know, Sprague or Sturvage is the
- 1:33:09Speaker 1: better candidate. They just look at the pink slip and say, oh,
- 1:33:12Speaker 1: that's what the Republican Party endorsed, and that's what I'm
- 1:33:14Speaker 1: going to vote for because I don't know if they
- 1:33:16Speaker 1: bother to vote.
- 1:33:18Speaker 4: Yeah, if they bother to vote, And I think that's
- 1:33:20Speaker 4: the thing I'm really scared about. And particularly if you
- 1:33:23Speaker 4: don't mind, I gotta put this out there, the Say
- 1:33:26Speaker 4: Act folks, Call Soon, called Marino, Carl Houston, demand that
- 1:33:31Speaker 4: they passed, to say that could Brian if they won't.
- 1:33:34Speaker 4: If Republicans who have the votes won't pass the say Back,
- 1:33:38Speaker 4: which eighty five percent of Americans want, they're telling you
- 1:33:43Speaker 4: that your vote doesn't count. They're telling you that they
- 1:33:46Speaker 4: want the Democrats and maybe the Republicans as well, the cheat.
- 1:33:49Speaker 4: Why would we go vote if they won't pass an
- 1:33:52Speaker 4: issue that eighty five percent of Americans want? That is
- 1:33:55Speaker 4: as simple as You've got to prove you're a citizen
- 1:33:58Speaker 4: to vote yes. Call Soon, Call Houston, call Marino every
- 1:34:03Speaker 4: day until they pass us. Because really, Brian, nothing else
- 1:34:06Speaker 4: matters to us. If we can't pass this are country
- 1:34:10Speaker 4: is done. We vote doesn't count.
- 1:34:12Speaker 1: Yeah, the constitutional republic, which is based on a representative
- 1:34:15Speaker 1: form of government. If they are representatives, don't you know,
- 1:34:18Speaker 1: follow the will of the people, as demonstrated by an
- 1:34:21Speaker 1: eighty twenty issue. I mean, lord, it's a it's a
- 1:34:24Speaker 1: reflection of a failure.
- 1:34:26Speaker 7: Tom.
- 1:34:26Speaker 1: I have to agree with you completely on that, and
- 1:34:27Speaker 1: I will echo your call to have people call their
- 1:34:30Speaker 1: elected officials and screen at back fastening the save ag.
- 1:34:33Speaker 1: Tom's Awastowski We the People Convention dot orgers where you

- 1:34:59Speaker 1: from bright Bart News. I always start the segment out
- 1:35:01Speaker 1: telling people to bookmark the site you will be happy
- 1:35:03Speaker 1: you did. B R E I T b A RT
- 1:35:06Speaker 1: dot com. Nick, welcome back to the fifty five KRC
- 1:35:08Speaker 1: Morning Show. It's great having you on this morning.
- 1:35:11Speaker 6: Hey, good morning, Brian.
- 1:35:12Speaker 4: Great to be here.
- 1:35:12Speaker 1: Got your popcorn already popped and ready to watch the
- 1:35:14Speaker 1: State of the Union address.
- 1:35:15Speaker 6: Nick, Yes, I am ready to go. Ready to watch
- 1:35:19Speaker 6: the State of the Union. See what antics the Democrats
- 1:35:22Speaker 6: bring tonight, because I'm sure it'll be a spectacle.
- 1:35:25Speaker 1: Well, I suppose they need to show up for that.
- 1:35:28Speaker 1: More and more of them was saying they're not even
- 1:35:29Speaker 1: got to bother to show up. I think that's childish.
- 1:35:34Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, well, you know, yeah, I'm sure the
- 1:35:38Speaker 6: Democrats this is gonna be this is gonna be something else.
- 1:35:41Speaker 6: Last year we saw the Democrats breaking decorum, standing waving
- 1:35:45Speaker 6: signs saying Trump was lying. You know, we saw Al Green,
- 1:35:49Speaker 6: Heckel and Pointus Kane at the das at the President.
- 1:35:53Speaker 6: So you know, I guess this stepberd of this year
- 1:35:55Speaker 6: would just be flat out you know, boycotting the entire address.
- 1:36:00Speaker 1: Yeah, and well that's that's what pet petulant children do,
- 1:36:03Speaker 1: you know, the ears over their hands, over their ears
- 1:36:05Speaker 1: and going la la la la la, and their eyes closed.
- 1:36:07Speaker 1: That's kind of what the Democrats seem to be. And
- 1:36:08Speaker 1: I know Trump can be frustrating for some people, including me. See,
- 1:36:11Speaker 1: it can be a bit long winded. He's already warned
- 1:36:13Speaker 1: people it's going to go extra long. And if Trump
- 1:36:15Speaker 1: says it up front, you might be up for a late, late,
- 1:36:18Speaker 1: late night. Nick, I get up at two thirty in
- 1:36:19Speaker 1: the morning. I don't think I can make it through.
- 1:36:22Speaker 6: Yeah, well I'm ready for late now. We get a
- 1:36:24Speaker 6: lot of late nights with this president, going back to
- 1:36:27Speaker 6: the campaign trail. And yeah, he's known for his marathon speeches, right,
- 1:36:32Speaker 6: I mean, we saw him at the RNC in twenty
- 1:36:34Speaker 6: twenty four. This is a couple of days after he
- 1:36:37Speaker 6: was nearly assassinated on national television, right, and he went
- 1:36:40Speaker 6: up and I think he broke the record for length
- 1:36:43Speaker 6: of an RNC acceptance speech, you know, for the nomination.
- 1:36:47Speaker 6: So I wouldn't be surprised to see the president, know,
- 1:36:50Speaker 6: you know, well over an hour and a half, maybe
- 1:36:52Speaker 6: two hours here tonight. You know, we'll see And yeah,
- 1:36:56Speaker 6: I mean we're ready for it if he does whatever
- 1:36:59Speaker 6: whatever happened.
- 1:37:00Speaker 1: Well, I had a good friend Dave Oyams from the
- 1:37:01Speaker 1: Taxpayer Protection Alliance on earlier. He comes on the program
- 1:37:04Speaker 1: about once a month, and he was talking about what
- 1:37:06Speaker 1: this what President Trump should in might address, but he
- 1:37:09Speaker 1: was of the opinion and it really bothered me. Not
- 1:37:11Speaker 1: that I disagree with him, because we're on that we're
- 1:37:13Speaker 1: just guessing what he's going to say. But Dave was
- 1:37:16Speaker 1: suggesting maybe Trump won't talk about the Doge type work,
- 1:37:20Speaker 1: and I just my reaction was, wait a second, and
- 1:37:24Speaker 1: I'm again referring my listeners now to my blog page
- 1:37:27Speaker 1: fifty five kcy dot com where the article I have
- 1:37:29Speaker 1: been so blown up about the Scott Johnson Imprimus Law
- 1:37:32Speaker 1: article Learning from Minnesota Somali Fraud's Candle. What an eye
- 1:37:36Speaker 1: opener the detail that Scott Johnson and that article goes
- 1:37:39Speaker 1: through and breaks down on how the fraud was commuted
- 1:37:41Speaker 1: and the amount of fraud. And when I look at
- 1:37:43Speaker 1: the fact that this is one city or area of
- 1:37:46Speaker 1: the country and they have already identified about nine billion
- 1:37:49Speaker 1: and ever growing amounts of fraud and these social welfare
- 1:37:53Speaker 1: programs that the Somali community was builking American taxpayer for nick,
- 1:37:58Speaker 1: this is regardless political stripe, American taxpayer money. It was
- 1:38:03Speaker 1: outright stolen in a well organized criminal enterprise. Everyone should
- 1:38:09Speaker 1: be pissed off. If I may be so bold as
- 1:38:11Speaker 1: a characterize it like that, Nick, this doesn't bear a
- 1:38:14Speaker 1: political stripe. Our labor converted to taxpayer dollars was literally stolen.
- 1:38:20Speaker 1: I think you should be all over that, like white
- 1:38:21Speaker 1: on Rice.
- 1:38:22Speaker 4: Nick.
- 1:38:24Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, Brian, I think this is not this should
- 1:38:26Speaker 6: not be a part of an issue, even though even
- 1:38:29Speaker 6: though the Democrats have made it this way. These are
- 1:38:32Speaker 6: you know, the hard work, you know, the hard earned
- 1:38:35Speaker 6: tax dollars of you, of me, of your listeners, of
- 1:38:39Speaker 6: everybody around this country that days into the system, right,
- 1:38:42Speaker 6: and these dollars were stolen. And you know Governor Tim
- 1:38:45Speaker 6: Waltz and you know the Democrats running things over there
- 1:38:49Speaker 6: in Minnesota. It kind of happened under their nose. That
- 1:38:52Speaker 6: looks like maybe some of them may be even new
- 1:38:54Speaker 6: about it. Who knows that. You know, there's investigations going
- 1:38:57Speaker 6: on into all this stuff.
- 1:38:58Speaker 4: Now.
- 1:38:59Speaker 6: I think, you know, I think we we could potentially
- 1:39:01Speaker 6: see and liked you said, we're kind of just speculating
- 1:39:04Speaker 6: as to what the President's going to talk about, but
- 1:39:06Speaker 6: I imagine, you know, he could go and mention some
- 1:39:10Speaker 6: things about this, whether it's in the prepared remarks or
- 1:39:13Speaker 6: he kind of adds it on cuff. And I know
- 1:39:16Speaker 6: he always says California in his estimation and what he
- 1:39:20Speaker 6: thinks is probably even worse than Minnesota. And there's these
- 1:39:25Speaker 6: blue states all around the country where I mean, you know,
- 1:39:28Speaker 6: I think the hard book needs to be taken at
- 1:39:31Speaker 6: what exactly is going on, you know, with these benefit
- 1:39:35Speaker 6: systems and tracking on audits of all this money.
- 1:39:38Speaker 7: Right.
- 1:39:39Speaker 6: I know one thing the President is going to talk
- 1:39:41Speaker 6: about tonight, according to Fox News, is he's going to
- 1:39:44Speaker 6: center this thing on working families and making a big
- 1:39:48Speaker 6: economic case. And I think that's probably, you know, a
- 1:39:53Speaker 6: great decision, I think, especially ahead of midterms coming up
- 1:39:56Speaker 6: in November. You know, you think of James Carvell, Right,
- 1:40:00Speaker 6: it's the economy, stupid, right, That's that's and it always
- 1:40:02Speaker 6: is the economy in my opinion in most all cases,
- 1:40:07Speaker 6: coming up on a big election like this, and I
- 1:40:09Speaker 6: think President Trump has a great economic case to go
- 1:40:12Speaker 6: layout and make tonight. Wages are outpacing inflation, right. I
- 1:40:16Speaker 6: think that's one of the big crowning achievements he's had
- 1:40:20Speaker 6: in his first year back in office. I mean, from
- 1:40:22Speaker 6: January twenty five to January twenty six, you had inflation
- 1:40:26Speaker 6: up two point five percent year over year. And that's
- 1:40:29Speaker 6: after you know, that's a pretty low number, that's kind
- 1:40:31Speaker 6: of right where you want.
- 1:40:32Speaker 1: It to be.
- 1:40:33Speaker 6: After buid inflation absolutely robbed Americans of their buying power
- 1:40:38Speaker 6: in the last administration, where you had inflation unseen in
- 1:40:41Speaker 6: you know, five decades. So and on top of that,
- 1:40:45Speaker 6: Brian too, you have wages out pacing that. I think
- 1:40:48Speaker 6: wages are up fourteen hundred dollars for the average private
- 1:40:52Speaker 6: sector worker. Now, you know, the question is, especially going
- 1:40:55Speaker 6: into midterms, are people feeling it? And I think especially
- 1:41:00Speaker 6: after Biden, I guess you know, according to the White House,
- 1:41:03Speaker 6: their number is a three thousand dollars wage loss. So
- 1:41:06Speaker 6: in his first year, Trump has recouped apparently half of that,
- 1:41:10Speaker 6: you know, according to these economic numbers. So it's still
- 1:41:14Speaker 6: things aren't as good as they were probably five years ago,
- 1:41:18Speaker 6: but they're certainly better than they were a couple of
- 1:41:20Speaker 6: years ago. And people are starting to get their buying
- 1:41:23Speaker 6: power back under the president.
- 1:41:24Speaker 1: Well, you know, a lot of people struggle with connecting
- 1:41:26Speaker 1: inflation with policies of prior presidents. We always tend to
- 1:41:29Speaker 1: blame the person in office for anything that's going on.
- 1:41:32Speaker 1: But insofar as inflation is concerned, you can't infuse trillions
- 1:41:36Speaker 1: of dollars into economy under an inflation reduction Act and
- 1:41:39Speaker 1: think the power of the buying power of the dollar
- 1:41:42Speaker 1: is not going to be impacted by it. I mean,
- 1:41:43Speaker 1: he's so bloody obvious. But that goes back to my
- 1:41:46Speaker 1: point on fraud. The Inflation Reducting Act and Reduction Act
- 1:41:49Speaker 1: is one of the vehicles by which so many people
- 1:41:52Speaker 1: committed fraud.
- 1:41:54Speaker 6: Yeah, the Inflation Reduction Act. All these spending packages too, Yeah, absolutely,
- 1:42:01Speaker 6: these these COVID plans and whatnot that came out afterwards,
- 1:42:05Speaker 6: you know, the Great American Rescue Plan, right, all all
- 1:42:08Speaker 6: of these different you know where Democrats just approved trillions
- 1:42:12Speaker 6: and trillions and trillions of dollars. They're spending like drunken
- 1:42:15Speaker 6: sailors and I and you know, on top of that,
- 1:42:17Speaker 6: you have the fraud, like you said, and I think,
- 1:42:20Speaker 6: you know, you're kind of we're kind of reeling things back.
- 1:42:23Speaker 6: You also had look the migrants that were taking advantage
- 1:42:27Speaker 6: of these programs too, right, whether it was taxpayer, taxpayer
- 1:42:31Speaker 6: fund and healthcare going to illegal aliens that were in
- 1:42:34Speaker 6: this country. The President has sealed the border. He's gotten
- 1:42:38Speaker 6: two point five million illegal aliens out of the country
- 1:42:41Speaker 6: at of January, and that was through either you know,
- 1:42:44Speaker 6: deportations by the government or through self deportations through you know,
- 1:42:49Speaker 6: the deportation program that DHS has going on. So I
- 1:42:53Speaker 6: think too, you're probably going to see a lot of
- 1:42:55Speaker 6: touting from the President on the border and the economic
- 1:42:58Speaker 6: effects of that. I know, rent price have gone down.
- 1:43:01Speaker 6: What blows my mind, Brian, especially on this front, the
- 1:43:05Speaker 6: rent crisis. I live in this building in d C.
- 1:43:09Speaker 6: And you know, rent's been high, right I moved here
- 1:43:12Speaker 6: under Biden, the height of Biden, and I'm moving to
- 1:43:15Speaker 6: a nicer unit in my building, you know, three years
- 1:43:19Speaker 6: down the line here after I got to d C,
- 1:43:21Speaker 6: and the rent's going to be two hundred dollars less
- 1:43:23Speaker 6: than what I've been paying. So, I mean, I think
- 1:43:28Speaker 6: I certainly see the effects of this. I think other Americans,
- 1:43:32Speaker 6: you know, it's you know where they assign you know,
- 1:43:36Speaker 6: the outcome of that too, whether it's President Trump or whatever.
- 1:43:40Speaker 6: I mean, that remains to be seen. But I certainly
- 1:43:42Speaker 6: see some of the effects of this well, and as.
- 1:43:45Speaker 1: Do most Americans. I think they appreciate that. But let
- 1:43:47Speaker 1: me ask you this, because one of the other issues
- 1:43:50Speaker 1: that's floating around out there, and something that the American
- 1:43:52Speaker 1: people are overwhelmingly in favor of and that no one
- 1:43:55Speaker 1: seems to really have a problem with in their day
- 1:43:57Speaker 1: to day life, that's a photo i'd to vote. We're
- 1:43:59Speaker 1: the only devil country in the world that doesn't require that.
- 1:44:01Speaker 1: Eighty percent, roughly of the American people surveyed say no
- 1:44:04Speaker 1: problem at all, and that's great with me. Do you
- 1:44:08Speaker 1: think that Donald Trump will bring up the Save Act?
- 1:44:10Speaker 1: And we'll let me just tell my listeners. Beyond calling
- 1:44:13Speaker 1: Bernie Marino and other elected officials from Ohio, I think
- 1:44:16Speaker 1: we need to light the phones up at Mitch McConnell's office.
- 1:44:18Speaker 1: Thank you, Drew pappas he reminded me of the Mitch
- 1:44:21Speaker 1: McConnell's blocking the Save Act from even getting a vote.
- 1:44:23Speaker 1: Why in the hell would Mitch McConnell stand in the
- 1:44:25Speaker 1: way of something so many people want. But do you think,
- 1:44:28Speaker 1: to the larger point, that Donald Trump will bring that
- 1:44:30Speaker 1: up tonight during the address?
- 1:44:32Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 1:44:32Speaker 6: I think President Trump certainly will bring that up tonight,
- 1:44:35Speaker 6: especially where he has you know, both chambers of Congress there,
- 1:44:39Speaker 6: and we'll see if the Democrats show up. And I
- 1:44:42Speaker 6: think Mitch mcconnald's just a quintessential establishment Republican just opposing Trump,
- 1:44:48Speaker 6: you know, he's he's opposed Trump on a lot of things.
- 1:44:51Speaker 6: Of course, he did try and get get some things
- 1:44:53Speaker 6: done there for the president of the first term, but
- 1:44:55Speaker 6: he's an ever Trumper in my book. And of course
- 1:44:58Speaker 6: I think there might be some you know, sour grapes
- 1:45:01Speaker 6: over the you know, Republican Senate primary going on in
- 1:45:05Speaker 6: Kentucky to replace Mitch McConnell.
- 1:45:07Speaker 1: Well, mit mean, come on, do your job. You reflect
- 1:45:11Speaker 1: the will of the American people. And I guarantee, as
- 1:45:14Speaker 1: sure as I'm sitting here, as read as Kentucky is
- 1:45:17Speaker 1: probably every man woman in shot on the state of
- 1:45:18Speaker 1: Kentucky is all in favor of the Save Act. So Mitch,
- 1:45:21Speaker 1: you know, represent your own people and the American people
- 1:45:23Speaker 1: do something right for a change.
- 1:45:26Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, that's where the disconnect is, right, Brian.
- 1:45:28Speaker 6: And then I think I think there's seventy one percent
- 1:45:31Speaker 6: of Democrats in one of the latest polls I saw
- 1:45:35Speaker 6: support to say that I know. So this is like
- 1:45:38Speaker 6: the and like you said, eighty percent of all Americans.
- 1:45:40Speaker 6: So it's amazing to me that this is such a
- 1:45:43Speaker 6: bipartisan issue among the electorate. And you know that Democrats
- 1:45:48Speaker 6: don't want to play ball. Mitch McConnell doesn't want to
- 1:45:50Speaker 6: play ball on this, And I think it's something, you know,
- 1:45:54Speaker 6: I think this is something that would absolutely safeguard our elections,
- 1:45:57Speaker 6: ensure that only United States cities with the right to
- 1:46:01Speaker 6: vote can actually vote. And yeah, I think the American
- 1:46:06Speaker 6: people want it. I think it'd be something very It's
- 1:46:09Speaker 6: not a difficult thing to do, right, I think I
- 1:46:12Speaker 6: think it's just passing legislation through both houses and getting
- 1:46:15Speaker 6: it to the President's desk. So and of course Democrats,
- 1:46:19Speaker 6: you know, and McConnell and whatnot want to wake this out,
- 1:46:23Speaker 6: want to try and ride this out to mid terms
- 1:46:25Speaker 6: that they want, you know, Democrats to take the House
- 1:46:29Speaker 6: or maybe the Senate too. Is I'm sure you know,
- 1:46:31Speaker 6: that's the end game goal here, so they can you know,
- 1:46:35Speaker 6: kind of put this to bed and not not have
- 1:46:37Speaker 6: to worry about it for the rest of the administration.
- 1:46:39Speaker 6: But it's important that the president goes out there tonight
- 1:46:42Speaker 6: every camera in the world. Every news station in the
- 1:46:45Speaker 6: world is going to be running the speech, and I
- 1:46:48Speaker 6: think he has a great platform to go out and
- 1:46:50Speaker 6: make the case for the Save Act this evening.
- 1:46:52Speaker 1: The Save Act. And also he can, I think, even
- 1:46:55Speaker 1: gloat on energy policies. We're all experiencing some wonderfully low
- 1:46:59Speaker 1: gasoline prices, with the exception of Gavin Newsance California for
- 1:47:02Speaker 1: obvious reasons. Nick white House, correspondent from Breitbart Nick gilbertson,
- 1:47:06Speaker 1: do you think we have finally seen the end of
- 1:47:08Speaker 1: the climate religion? That plant food is not bad for
- 1:47:10Speaker 1: the atmosphere? And I would like to pivot over pointing
- 1:47:13Speaker 1: out that even Democrats have to concede that artificial intelligence
- 1:47:16Speaker 1: is the wave of the future, and that windmills and
- 1:47:18Speaker 1: solar panels will not pride the power that we need.
- 1:47:21Speaker 1: It won't even provide the power for a growing American population.
- 1:47:25Speaker 1: I think you can gloat all day long on energy
- 1:47:28Speaker 1: policy and the expansion of it, and how about small
- 1:47:30Speaker 1: modular reactors that throw in there as well.
- 1:47:33Speaker 6: Yeah, I think energy policy is something that kind of
- 1:47:36Speaker 6: gets overlooked, but it's such a huge part of the economy,
- 1:47:38Speaker 6: and it's something that touches every single one of our lives.
- 1:47:42Speaker 4: You know.
- 1:47:42Speaker 6: Gasoline is a more kind of in your face example
- 1:47:45Speaker 6: when you see the gas prices every day and you
- 1:47:48Speaker 6: know every week you got to fill up your tank,
- 1:47:50Speaker 6: and you go, oh, yeah, look they're down two dollars
- 1:47:53Speaker 6: since Joe Biden was president, right, like, you know, these
- 1:47:56Speaker 6: policies are doing good and then are good for Americans.
- 1:48:00Speaker 6: And then on top of that, you know, the price
- 1:48:03Speaker 6: you don't see every day is at every good on
- 1:48:06Speaker 6: the shelf that you go to in the store was
- 1:48:08Speaker 6: transported there, and there's a cost in the good of
- 1:48:12Speaker 6: you know, the the energy that went into making it,
- 1:48:15Speaker 6: getting it to the store, putting it on the shelf,
- 1:48:18Speaker 6: you know. So and I think, you know, a big
- 1:48:22Speaker 6: part of the slow inflation inflation here over the past
- 1:48:26Speaker 6: year has been the energy policies of the Sump administration
- 1:48:30Speaker 6: and kind of and kind of unleashing you know, the
- 1:48:34Speaker 6: rains here that Democrats and the Biden administration had put
- 1:48:39Speaker 6: on all these you know, energy companies, whether you know
- 1:48:42Speaker 6: it's oil, natural gas. And I think too, you know,
- 1:48:45Speaker 6: like the President has I believe it was nine point
- 1:48:49Speaker 6: two trillion dollars in investments in the United States since
- 1:48:52Speaker 6: he's returned to office. Those are tangible ones at the
- 1:48:54Speaker 6: White House list, I know, the presidents of eighteen trillion.
- 1:48:58Speaker 6: But that's a main only a direct result of a
- 1:49:01Speaker 6: lot of you know, these this AI investment and a
- 1:49:05Speaker 6: lot of these companies. You know, you need the energy
- 1:49:08Speaker 6: right to to make this AI and electricity work. You
- 1:49:12Speaker 6: need all this stuff. So a lot of that is
- 1:49:14Speaker 6: investment in with ways to manufacture energy to make sure
- 1:49:19Speaker 6: these AI plants, you know, get up and running. So
- 1:49:21Speaker 6: and another point about the economy, I think people are
- 1:49:25Speaker 6: going to see a massive boom here, you know, over
- 1:49:28Speaker 6: the next couple of years, is things get underway. You know,
- 1:49:31Speaker 6: the President often talks about, you know, when will we
- 1:49:34Speaker 6: see it right? Reporters reporters send to ask him, and
- 1:49:37Speaker 6: he's like, well, look, you're seeing the construction jobs right now.
- 1:49:40Speaker 6: They're putting the infrastructure in place for all this stuff.
- 1:49:43Speaker 6: And then you know, when you get beyond that and
- 1:49:46Speaker 6: you have uh, you know, the facilities up and running,
- 1:49:49Speaker 6: then you have all these jobs for Americans. You're going
- 1:49:51Speaker 6: to see energy prices cheap and even more.
- 1:49:53Speaker 1: I think so.
- 1:49:55Speaker 6: And of course this is all has to do with
- 1:49:57Speaker 6: the AI race, with China as.
- 1:49:58Speaker 1: Well, no doubt about it. Well, and you know I
- 1:50:00Speaker 1: got to mention cheaper entered, cheaper gasoline and diesel prices.
- 1:50:03Speaker 1: That means the cheaper to ship the windmill parts to
- 1:50:05Speaker 1: wherever you're building it. Real quick, fory Park. Counting Nick
- 1:50:08Speaker 1: Gilberts and he's the White House correspondent of Brightbart, you'll
- 1:50:10Speaker 1: be able to read what Nick Nick's assessment of the
- 1:50:12Speaker 1: state of the Union address is probably tomorrow and Breitbart.
- 1:50:15Speaker 1: I just noticed one other great piece of information. Positive
- 1:50:18Speaker 1: mortgage rates just drop below six percent yesterday average rate
- 1:50:22Speaker 1: on the popular thirty year fix now five point nine
- 1:50:24Speaker 1: to nine percent average. It's going in the right direction.
- 1:50:26Speaker 1: Something else is going to be welsome relief to the
- 1:50:29Speaker 1: would be homeowner. Nick.
- 1:50:31Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, I think that. You know, that's another thing
- 1:50:33Speaker 6: the President's going to cut, right, you know, lowering mortgage rates.
- 1:50:37Speaker 6: I know how difficult it is for a lot of
- 1:50:40Speaker 6: you know, especially Americans and their thirties and forties are
- 1:50:44Speaker 6: looking to get their their first house here and start
- 1:50:46Speaker 6: a family and stuff. And when you can, you know,
- 1:50:50Speaker 6: reduce the costs of mortgage, reduce the costs to get
- 1:50:54Speaker 6: to get in the door and have a home that
- 1:50:58Speaker 6: that perpetuates, you know, Foster's a kind of atmosphere where
- 1:51:02Speaker 6: people can pursue the American dream, have families, all that stuff.
- 1:51:06Speaker 1: So I hope they do have families. Nick. Let's hope
- 1:51:09Speaker 1: they do. Nick covers around of time. Love having you
- 1:51:11Speaker 1: on the program. Keep up the great work at Breitbart
- 1:51:13Speaker 1: and again book Breitbart dot com. You'd be glad you
- 1:51:15Speaker 1: did read about Nick's Read Nick's comments tomorrow on this
- 1:51:18Speaker 1: day of the Union. Nick, thanks for your time. Did
- 1:51:20Speaker 1: he keep up the great work. We'll talk again real soon,
- 1:51:22Speaker 1: I hope. And Kars Deep Talk Station A twenty eight
- 1:51:27Speaker 1: on a Tuesday, it's that time a week retired Lieutenant
- 1:51:29Speaker 1: Colonel Daniel Davis. We call it the year. He calls
- 1:51:31Speaker 1: it the Daniel Davis Deep Dive Alerted Podcast. You can
- 1:51:34Speaker 1: follow him wherever he does his podcast and wherever you
- 1:51:36Speaker 1: get your podcasts. Welcome back, my friend. It's always great
- 1:51:39Speaker 1: having you on the fifty five KRSE Morning show, Sir.
- 1:51:42Speaker 10: And believe me, it's always great to be here. Thanks
- 1:51:44Speaker 10: for having me back.
- 1:51:44Speaker 1: I appreciate you willingness to come on the show and
- 1:51:46Speaker 1: talk about matters military and I. As we enter and
- 1:51:50Speaker 1: I've been reeling from this all morning. I wasn't paying
- 1:51:53Speaker 1: attention to the passage of time. Daniel Davis, we have
- 1:51:55Speaker 1: just entered year number five of the conflict between Russian
- 1:51:59Speaker 1: and Ukraine. But before we get to that and some
- 1:52:02Speaker 1: of the horrific fatality figures that numbers have been crunched
- 1:52:04Speaker 1: from these Center for Strategic Intelligence studies, I want to
- 1:52:07Speaker 1: start with Mexico. I'm actually cautiously optimistic that the President
- 1:52:14Speaker 1: Scheinbaum is going to get their act together and they're
- 1:52:17Speaker 1: finally going to do something about the state of corruption
- 1:52:19Speaker 1: in their country, maybe for the benefit of the entire
- 1:52:21Speaker 1: Mexican population, but most notably the spillover benefit we're going
- 1:52:24Speaker 1: to enjoy. Obviously, Donald Trump had been threatening to send
- 1:52:27Speaker 1: in American military forces to deal with the cartel problems
- 1:52:30Speaker 1: in Mexico, something that I'm not holding my hand up
- 1:52:32Speaker 1: in favor of Daniel Davis. It's their country, let them
- 1:52:35Speaker 1: figure it out. But I've been witnessing for the past
- 1:52:37Speaker 1: several decades the level of corruption in Mexico. You get
- 1:52:40Speaker 1: a reform candidate runs for office, judicial prosecutorial elected capacity
- 1:52:44Speaker 1: in something, somebody kills them. Oh, the cartel they have
- 1:52:49Speaker 1: infiltrated virtually every area of government. It is colossally corrupt,
- 1:52:52Speaker 1: and the only way to stop them is, I guess,
- 1:52:54Speaker 1: to start killing the elementos of the world and maybe
- 1:52:57Speaker 1: take some stock in themselves. See this as a positive development,
- 1:53:01Speaker 1: Daniel Davis, Do you think I'm overly optimistic, Sir?
- 1:53:05Speaker 10: I wouldn't be optimistic at the outcome just yet.
- 1:53:08Speaker 9: I am optimistic that at least they're trying, right, because
- 1:53:11Speaker 9: in the absence of even starting something like this, then
- 1:53:13Speaker 9: you literally just surrender to these folks. And I've actually
- 1:53:16Speaker 9: been doing just some research here to remind my own
- 1:53:19Speaker 9: self about some of the recent history. I'm talking like
- 1:53:22Speaker 9: the last several decades, and it is just bloody for
- 1:53:26Speaker 9: all those who have tried, and I mean at every level.
- 1:53:28Speaker 9: It's not just at the top, but it's all the
- 1:53:29Speaker 9: ones in between. And these guys are absolutely bloodthirsty and
- 1:53:34Speaker 9: ruthless in their attacks, killing family members, friends, obviously, competitors, etc.
- 1:53:41Speaker 9: And definitely members of the military, slash police, and the government.
- 1:53:45Speaker 9: And it is no joke to take these on. And
- 1:53:48Speaker 9: when somebody like Shinbaum takes us on, they know for
- 1:53:51Speaker 9: sure that they are putting their lives in their hands
- 1:53:53Speaker 9: and that they could go down. But man, and you
- 1:53:56Speaker 9: saw the results Here's that was a pretty strong signal
- 1:53:59Speaker 9: that this is not going to be cheap, easy or quick.
- 1:54:03Speaker 9: So I think that it's going to be just like
- 1:54:05Speaker 9: so many of these things are at nearly any level,
- 1:54:07Speaker 9: it's a contest of wills. Who is going to press
- 1:54:10Speaker 9: the hardest, who is going to take the casualties, because
- 1:54:12Speaker 9: both sides are going to suffer some. I mean, the
- 1:54:14Speaker 9: police took a big beating here in this first one here,
- 1:54:17Speaker 9: I think like twenty five policemen were killed, and a
- 1:54:20Speaker 9: bunch on the other side too, So it's it's going
- 1:54:22Speaker 9: to be a matter of wills and hopefully they're prepared
- 1:54:24Speaker 9: for that before they started, and this will.
- 1:54:26Speaker 10: Just continue on and God help us all if it
- 1:54:29Speaker 10: doesn't succeed.
- 1:54:29Speaker 9: But if it does, then I am I would be
- 1:54:32Speaker 9: very optimistic, and I'm hopeful that they can get there
- 1:54:35Speaker 9: for the sake not just of the drugs that were
- 1:54:37Speaker 9: coming in with the United States, but for the people
- 1:54:39Speaker 9: of Mexico.
- 1:54:40Speaker 1: That's my yeah, that's my broader point. Listen, I don't
- 1:54:42Speaker 1: do drugs. I don't care. I mean, if we supply
- 1:54:46Speaker 1: that market, it is our own fault that there is
- 1:54:48Speaker 1: a market here in America. Okay, let's little little moment
- 1:54:51Speaker 1: of self reflection on that bike. Yeah, we want to
- 1:54:52Speaker 1: be a lot more broadly, such potential the country of Mexico.
- 1:54:57Speaker 1: I mean, they do manufacturing, they have business and industry,
- 1:55:00Speaker 1: and if they just got rid of the damn drugs
- 1:55:01Speaker 1: and the cartel's influence and all the corruption. You can
- 1:55:04Speaker 1: only imagine the level of corruption in terms of money
- 1:55:06Speaker 1: flowing back and forth, it will be so much better
- 1:55:09Speaker 1: for the Mexican people, which of course would certainly spill
- 1:55:11Speaker 1: over to our economic advantage. It's good for everybody to
- 1:55:14Speaker 1: get rid of these clowns, it really is. It's just
- 1:55:17Speaker 1: that it's so.
- 1:55:18Speaker 9: Bloody hard because there is so much money involved in
- 1:55:22Speaker 9: when you have that kind of cash. I mean, we
- 1:55:24Speaker 9: saw when Pablo Escobar was taken down, when you know
- 1:55:28Speaker 9: several of these others in areas like Menuel Norieg etcetera.
- 1:55:31Speaker 9: When they guys, when these guys go down, there's always
- 1:55:33Speaker 9: people ready to take their place because there's just so
- 1:55:36Speaker 9: much money. And that's why this is such a hard,
- 1:55:38Speaker 9: thorny issue. It's not just taking down this cartel or
- 1:55:41Speaker 9: that one, but you've got to be able to just
- 1:55:43Speaker 9: sustain this over time. It's a generational fight, and I
- 1:55:46Speaker 9: hope Mexico's up for it.
- 1:55:47Speaker 1: Well, it's been in generations going on that it's been
- 1:55:50Speaker 1: established as a corrupt regime because of the cartel's infiltration.
- 1:55:53Speaker 1: They've allowed it to go by, and the cartel has
- 1:55:55Speaker 1: been wildly successful with their terrorist tactics, keeping responsible people
- 1:55:59Speaker 1: from office and bringing about reform. AM I understanding it's
- 1:56:02Speaker 1: widely reported that American intelligence is helping the Mexican government
- 1:56:06Speaker 1: in their efforts. Welcome help. I imagine that Scheinbaum has
- 1:56:10Speaker 1: no problem utilizing our intelligence resources, not our military ones,
- 1:56:14Speaker 1: but our intelligence resources to find out where these guys are.
- 1:56:16Speaker 1: I mean, it took quite a bit of intelligence to
- 1:56:18Speaker 1: figure out, well how Chapo was or whatever that guy's
- 1:56:20Speaker 1: name was, the late.
- 1:56:27Speaker 10: You there, Yeah, Oh sorry, I thought you were continue on.
- 1:56:30Speaker 9: Yeah, And I'll tell you that's That's one of the
- 1:56:32Speaker 9: things that's that's uh, that's hopeful is when when President
- 1:56:36Speaker 9: Trump was talking about unilaterally going in and doing what
- 1:56:38Speaker 9: we want, that would have been a big mistake and
- 1:56:41Speaker 9: just awful, but going in at the cooperation with the
- 1:56:44Speaker 9: Mexican government, that's actually a good thing. And if they
- 1:56:47Speaker 9: asked for this and we gave it to them and
- 1:56:49Speaker 9: it was successful, and it was core coordinated and it
- 1:56:51Speaker 9: was mutually beneficial, that is a good thing and that
- 1:56:54Speaker 9: I hope continues.
- 1:56:55Speaker 1: I do too, all right, pivoting over again year five
- 1:56:58Speaker 1: for the war between Russia and Ukraine, and I've mentioned
- 1:57:02Speaker 1: the fog of war, and now you've heard that comment before.
- 1:57:04Speaker 1: We've talked about casualties on this program before. No one
- 1:57:07Speaker 1: has a real way of knowing. I suppose Wall Street
- 1:57:09Speaker 1: journal side is statistics from the Center for Strategic and
- 1:57:11Speaker 1: Intelligent Studies. They reference it as nonpartisan, and I'm sure
- 1:57:15Speaker 1: you're familiar with it. But Russia had three hundred and
- 1:57:17Speaker 1: twenty five thousand fatalities and one point two million casualties
- 1:57:21Speaker 1: to Ukraine's one hundred and forty thousand fatalities and six
- 1:57:25Speaker 1: hundred thousand casualties. The level of devastation and bloodshed. I
- 1:57:30Speaker 1: just read those and I was overwhelmed by that. When
- 1:57:32Speaker 1: you see it in those stark numbers, it's just so
- 1:57:34Speaker 1: sad and tragic, leading me to, well, where are we today?
- 1:57:38Speaker 1: Daniel Davis.
- 1:57:40Speaker 9: You know, I've heard a figure that I personally think
- 1:57:44Speaker 9: is more plausible on the Russian side of about one
- 1:57:47Speaker 9: hundred and fifty thousand fatalities and about triple that number
- 1:57:50Speaker 9: of wounded, And that seems reasonable given the concept are
- 1:57:54Speaker 9: the top of combat operations in the amount of time.
- 1:57:56Speaker 9: But I don't at all believe those numbers on the
- 1:57:59Speaker 9: Ukraine side. They don't seem reasonable or plausible at all.
- 1:58:02Speaker 9: That the side that it has somewhere between you three
- 1:58:05Speaker 9: to five to ten times disadvantage in firepower is somehow
- 1:58:08Speaker 9: going to suffer half the casualties or less than the
- 1:58:11Speaker 9: other side just.
- 1:58:11Speaker 10: Doesn't make any sense to me at all.
- 1:58:13Speaker 9: I think the more plausible number I've seen is somewhere
- 1:58:15Speaker 9: around eight to nine hundred thousand dead on the Ukraine side,
- 1:58:19Speaker 9: and that is logical based on the amount of firepower,
- 1:58:23Speaker 9: how this war has gone, especially in the last eighteen months.
- 1:58:26Speaker 10: I think we need to be sober that the.
- 1:58:28Speaker 9: Losses on the Ukraine side are astronomical and staggering, and
- 1:58:31Speaker 9: they're keeping that hidden. And I can't speak to this
- 1:58:34Speaker 9: organization here that put these numbers out. I can just
- 1:58:36Speaker 9: tell you that doesn't seem logical to me based on
- 1:58:38Speaker 9: what we see on the ground.
- 1:58:39Speaker 1: Well, and given the loss of life, I mean, and
- 1:58:41Speaker 1: I have no reason to disagree with you, and what
- 1:58:43Speaker 1: you say certainly is logical and reasonable. Again fog of war.
- 1:58:46Speaker 1: You know somebody hasn't incentive report a higher number here
- 1:58:49Speaker 1: or lower number there, whatever. But you know, when this
- 1:58:52Speaker 1: conflict is over, and God only help us that it
- 1:58:55Speaker 1: ends soon, and whatever land concessions are made, there is
- 1:58:57Speaker 1: still going to be a country of Ukraine. Are they
- 1:58:59Speaker 1: going to be to rebuild? I understand it's a very
- 1:59:01Speaker 1: agrarian community, the bread basket of Europe, with all the
- 1:59:05Speaker 1: harvesting and grain and agricultural production. Is there going to
- 1:59:09Speaker 1: be anybody left to do that?
- 1:59:10Speaker 9: Daniel Davis, Well, that is one of the big problems,
- 1:59:13Speaker 9: and that is one of the big problems I have
- 1:59:15Speaker 9: with both the Western Europeans, in particular with the Biden
- 1:59:18Speaker 9: administration before and Zelenski himself, because they are not prioritizing
- 1:59:23Speaker 9: the future of their country, where they could have had
- 1:59:25Speaker 9: off ramps in course two months into this in April
- 1:59:28Speaker 9: twenty twenty two, they could have had another off ramp
- 1:59:31Speaker 9: in June twenty twenty four, and then now this one
- 1:59:33Speaker 9: here goes on and every time there's an opportunity they
- 1:59:36Speaker 9: reject it and say no, we're gonna keep fighting, We're
- 1:59:39Speaker 9: not going to give up anything, and then they always
- 1:59:40Speaker 9: lose more every time Russia offers a deal than it's
- 1:59:43Speaker 9: worse the next time. And I think that worth the
- 1:59:45Speaker 9: point now to where Russia is just going through the
- 1:59:47Speaker 9: motions diplomatically and saying sure, it will listen to you
- 1:59:50Speaker 9: and talk, but everything on the ground is continuing to
- 1:59:52Speaker 9: move towards their final objective of the destruction of the
- 1:59:55Speaker 9: Ukrainian armed forces. That's more important than the manpower or
- 1:59:58Speaker 9: than the territorial issue. But the territorial issue is important
- 2:00:02Speaker 9: insofar as the four oblust that they have, which they
- 2:00:04Speaker 9: have already incorporated into their constitution. They promise the people
- 2:00:08Speaker 9: they're going to come, So I think once they get
- 2:00:10Speaker 9: to those then they have a chance to actually say
- 2:00:12Speaker 9: we're going to stop.
- 2:00:13Speaker 10: But if the other side.
- 2:00:14Speaker 9: Doesn't stop fighting, even at the border of those four oblusts,
- 2:00:17Speaker 9: they'll keep going and the Russians will take even more territory,
- 2:00:21Speaker 9: and at some point there's just not going to be
- 2:00:23Speaker 9: enough men on the Ukraine side to offer resistance, and
- 2:00:26Speaker 9: there is clearly no shortage of men on the Russian side.
- 2:00:29Speaker 9: It is eventually going to be a math problem and
- 2:00:31Speaker 9: the Ukraine.
- 2:00:32Speaker 10: Side is going to lose it.
- 2:00:33Speaker 1: And without men after the war's over, who's going to
- 2:00:36Speaker 1: run the country properly. It's just a sad state effects, right,
- 2:00:39Speaker 1: and you know, I just have to observe again. It's
- 2:00:41Speaker 1: kind of like I said every week Daniel Davis Washern's repeat.
- 2:00:44Speaker 1: We see to be having the same conversation over and
- 2:00:46Speaker 1: over again. Europe's are like have their head somewhere dark
- 2:00:49Speaker 1: and damp. They don't listen, they don't pay attention to
- 2:00:51Speaker 1: the realities on the ground. They say the same thing
- 2:00:53Speaker 1: over and over again. And the next week you and
- 2:00:55Speaker 1: I be saying the same damn thing. Oh look they're
- 2:00:57Speaker 1: doing it again.
- 2:00:58Speaker 9: It's crazy and you know what you had this, you know,
- 2:01:01Speaker 9: trying to I don't know why they would do it,
- 2:01:02Speaker 9: but kind of a celebration that the Ukraine side has
- 2:01:05Speaker 9: existed through four years of war. That's laudable in one sense,
- 2:01:09Speaker 9: but it's also condemning in another, because all you've done
- 2:01:12Speaker 9: by not taking these off ramps is devastate the male
- 2:01:15Speaker 9: population of Ukraine for the future, as you pointed out.
- 2:01:18Speaker 9: And then you have Keir Starmer leading the way today
- 2:01:21Speaker 9: and said, we need to get rid of this myth
- 2:01:23Speaker 9: that Russia is winning the war.
- 2:01:25Speaker 5: They're not.
- 2:01:25Speaker 9: And I'm like, what in the world, what kind of
- 2:01:28Speaker 9: planet are you on that you would say that, Because
- 2:01:31Speaker 9: then that says, let's keep on. Having sacrificed the Ukrainian population,
- 2:01:35Speaker 9: they can't win this, and so to go on with
- 2:01:37Speaker 9: this raw, ross sounding stuff just condemns more Ukrainians to
- 2:01:40Speaker 9: death and more territory to Russia.
- 2:01:42Speaker 1: Well done. Your point is we pivot over to Iran
- 2:01:45Speaker 1: for we part come today Daniel Davis again follow Daniel
- 2:01:47Speaker 1: Davis as the Daniel Davis deep dive pivoting over to Iran.
- 2:01:52Speaker 1: I guess you and I you're on record, and I
- 2:01:54Speaker 1: agree with you. We don't want to We don't want
- 2:01:56Speaker 1: to start dripping bombs. We don't want to go into
- 2:01:58Speaker 1: a full on war. It is going to be a bleloody,
- 2:02:00Speaker 1: bloody mess. Nonetheless, we have mass amassed the largest military
- 2:02:04Speaker 1: force in the region since I guess the Desert Shield
- 2:02:07Speaker 1: or whichever military operation was the big one, the Iraqi operation.
- 2:02:11Speaker 1: But Donald Trump keeps saying and people keep reporting that,
- 2:02:15Speaker 1: it's like, well, we're only a moment away from dropping
- 2:02:17Speaker 1: bombs only moment away from dropping bombs, Donald Trump says,
- 2:02:20Speaker 1: I'm you listen, you better negotiate him a drop up.
- 2:02:22Speaker 1: Do you ever hear any dissent? I mean, again, going
- 2:02:25Speaker 1: back to the Constitution, I keep harping the fact that
- 2:02:27Speaker 1: Congress has the power to declare war. I don't hear
- 2:02:30Speaker 1: anyone saying, wait a second, you can't declare war. You
- 2:02:34Speaker 1: have a reaction to that. I mean, does the silence
- 2:02:37Speaker 1: seem deafening to you? Daniel Davis?
- 2:02:39Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:02:39Speaker 9: According to recent reporting, there there are two islands I
- 2:02:42Speaker 9: guess of resistance. One, according to the Wall Street Journal,
- 2:02:46Speaker 9: is led by Vice President j d Vance and Tulci Gabbard,
- 2:02:49Speaker 9: who are saying, don't do this. It's a counter and
- 2:02:52Speaker 9: it's counter to our interest. The cost would be extremely high.
- 2:02:56Speaker 9: Dan Kine, the chairman of Joint Chief of Staff, was
- 2:02:58Speaker 9: reported yesterday that he is warning about the potential long
- 2:03:02Speaker 9: term consequences, although President Trump dismissed that in a truth
- 2:03:05Speaker 9: Social yesterday afternoon.
- 2:03:07Speaker 10: So who knows what's true?
- 2:03:08Speaker 3: On that?
- 2:03:09Speaker 9: There is Rocanna and a Republican that I think to
- 2:03:14Speaker 9: either today or tomorrow are going to put forth a
- 2:03:16Speaker 9: war powers resolution vote to require commerce to go on
- 2:03:19Speaker 9: record saying that you can't go forward without this. I
- 2:03:22Speaker 9: don't think it's going to have any success, but at
- 2:03:24Speaker 9: least there's something there. But these are just two small
- 2:03:28Speaker 9: islands against an on flood onslaught of those who are
- 2:03:32Speaker 9: screaming for war on the other hand, and a lot
- 2:03:36Speaker 9: of them are President Trump's biggest supporters and backers in
- 2:03:38Speaker 9: the United States, And of course there's also Israel who's
- 2:03:41Speaker 9: pushing this hard with Benjamin and Yahoo.
- 2:03:43Speaker 1: All right, well, before we go to war, there's an
- 2:03:45Speaker 1: opportunity to negotiate a resolution. Daniel Davis te Lea Freeding.
- 2:03:48Speaker 1: Will Iran capitulate enough to prevent this from happening.
- 2:03:52Speaker 10: It's not possible.
- 2:03:53Speaker 9: They can't because what they're willing to capitulate is is
- 2:03:56Speaker 9: kind completely contradictory to what we're.
- 2:03:59Speaker 10: Demanding that they do. It's just not even possible right now.
- 2:04:02Speaker 1: Oh, kind of like Russia Ukraine.
- 2:04:05Speaker 10: Well, yeah, in a sense it is. The conditions are
- 2:04:07Speaker 10: a little different, but the reasons are. Bottom line is
- 2:04:10Speaker 10: the same.
- 2:04:10Speaker 9: Net result is we're asking Iran to do something they
- 2:04:13Speaker 9: can't do, and so they're offering to do something that
- 2:04:16Speaker 9: we're not asking. And so you have Yeah, I guess
- 2:04:19Speaker 9: in that sense of negotiation wise, it is similar to
- 2:04:21Speaker 9: that and it's.
- 2:04:21Speaker 10: Not going to have an outcome.
- 2:04:23Speaker 1: Daniel Davis, Depie Retiral Tendor Colonel follow him on wherever
- 2:04:25Speaker 1: you get your podcast. I'll look forward to another conversation
- 2:04:27Speaker 1: with you, Dan, and I appreciate your your straightforward way
- 2:04:30Speaker 1: of viewing these and spreading the information and sharing it
- 2:04:33Speaker 1: with my listening audience. It's wonderful that you have you
- 2:04:35Speaker 1: as a as a feature on my program Sir.
- 2:04:38Speaker 10: Thank you very much. It's an honor for me.
- 2:04:39Speaker 1: Thank you. See take care, my friend. It's eight forty
- 2:04:41Speaker 1: one
