  Speaker 1: So my name is Brian Thomas. I host the fifty

• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Feel free to give me a call this morning. Something
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: you want to talk about, like, for example, Shenanigan's in
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: downtown Cincinnati. Oh look, thank you to Todd Zenser Citizen Watchdog.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: If you don't know I follow a Citizen Watchdog podcast,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: you should. Todd Zenzer, former Inspector General for the United
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: States of America, keeping an eye on what's going on
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: with the money in downtown Cincinnati. How those rose it's
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: working out for you? Yeah, when you see the figures
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: for what is behind in terms of the deferred maintenance
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: worked that the city has not done now for going
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: on decades. Every year the deferred maintenance gets longer and
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: list grows longer, and it becomes more expensive. Is the
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: price of oh, I don't know, asphalt for example, more
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: expensive this year than it was, say, ten years ago,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: when the road still needed to be filled in pothole
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: and repaved. Right, that's the problem when you don't keep
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: your eye on the most important elements of running a
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: city government. Anyhow, comment or two on that in Todd
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Zinser's analysis of at the inquir go ahead and do that, Mayor.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I have to have provole proposing a one hundred million
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: dollar plus plan to erase the city's pension debt, A
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: pension debt that has grown exponentially over the years. How
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: many years have the Democrats been responsible for downtown sin
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: city government? Yeah, a long, long, long, long, long time.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I think you gotta get back to charge, right, Ken Blackwell,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: that's like nineteen I have nineteen ninety or something. Anyway,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: different result. My friends in the City of Cincinnati lead
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: you a massive hole in the pension fund. It's huge.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: The one point eight billion pension it has eight hundred
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: and forty seven million less than it needs to cover
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: the cost of pensions for the current employees and retirees.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: If you are a current employee or you're a retiree already, well,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: hoping that the pension continues to pay. Doesn't this make
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: you sweat both? Don't you feel like you've been I
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: don't know, in some way, shape or form stabbed in
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the back. This was a promise and commitment made to you.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: You can back up for make the same margument with
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: social security. Although read your Social Security form when it
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: comes it tells you there is no guarantee you're going
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: to get what it says on the form. Sorry.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: We live in a world run by elected officials who
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: like to kick the can down the road avoid dealing
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: with the challenges in front of them because they are
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: difficult choices and challenges. We need a new skateboard park.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: We can't fund the pension fully or whatever. But they
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: did find two thousand, two hundred and ten thousand dollars
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: to help the city's immigrant community, the Immigration and Refugee
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Law Center. Yes, the city's Budget, Finance and Governor's Committee
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: unanimously voted to give two hundred and ten thousand dollars
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: to this. Well, it's an illegal immigrant operation and providing
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: legal services for I. I can only imagine illegal immigrants
• 3:35

• 3:37
  Speaker 1: hundred and eighty two to three talk pound five fifty
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: on AT and T funds. I'm gonna get to that
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: one just a second. Here, Big picture with Jack Adan.

• 4:06
  Speaker 1: O'Neil seven thirty. As is typically the case, the Americans
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: for Prosperities released the Ohio Legislative Scorecard. Jim Lewis, he's

• 4:18
  Speaker 1: ETO five. They got a new Constitution boot Camp. Comeing
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: to Wright State University. You are invited, and I appreciate
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Jim's effort and giving us all a Civics lesson much
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: needed by many people well in Capitol Hill. Notably, Judge
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: ended Upoloton every Wednesday at eight thirty. Today, Liberty without
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Strings and guess another Fourth Amendment questions or issues swirling
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: around ICE and ICE's activity, and I put it out
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: to the judge after reading a column. Well, if one
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: thing's are one thing is certainly for a certain as
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: sad as it may be, Ice has certainly provided Judge
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Editopolitana with an opportunity to engage in well a constitutional
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: civics lesson on a weekly basis. Here in the fifteen
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I have Caresey Morning Show. So you got something you
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: want to talk about, feel free to chime in. Let's
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: move over to this two hundred thousand dollars plus Immigration
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: services grant. All right, So the Budget of Finance Governance
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Committee says, okay, yeah, unanimously, We're going to give two
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: hundred and ten thousand dollars to the Immigration and Refugee
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Law Center. This at the best of councilmen, Ryan James
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: his motion. What the Immigration Law Center is driving forward
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: is access to legal representation and access to social services
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: for folks who are in this incredibly vulnerable situation. They
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: say the money is going to support services, three of
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: them legal representation for those who have been detained by ICE.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Question out loud, correct me if you think I'm wrong,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: If you've been detained by ICE. Does that not strongly
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: suggest that there is a basis for you being detained
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: by ICE? In other words, perhaps you are illegally in
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the country and subject to a detention or maybe there
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: are circumstances where ices detain people that aren't subject to
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: a detention order or otherwise are in the country illegally.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I imagine those things get parsed out. They have no reason
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: to detain you and no reason to hold you. So
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: something tells me that the legal process will work all
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: that out. Oh maybe that's what the Immigrations and Customs
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: or this immigration Refugee Law center is supposed to be doing.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I'll let you decide whether you think that's the case
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: or not. Do you really think this money has been
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: allocated to help US citizens get out from underneath the
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: thumb of ICE agents, or do you think it's been
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: allocated to help illegal immigrants get legal assistance to get
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: out from underneath the thumb of a deportation order. Go ahead,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: talk amongst yourselves, James said, going to work, getting their
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: kids to school, These basic quality of living standards that
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: you expect that when you're under legal fear, it's very
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: hard to deliver yourself and your family. See I'm going
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: back to this whole idea. If you're not here outside
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: of the boundaries of law, is there any legitimate basis
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: for you to be living in fear and pivoting back
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: over if these are illegal immigrants here he mentions going
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: to work. I don't believe it is lawful for illegal
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: immigrants to be employed here in the United States. You
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: need a specific work visa or a green card. So
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: kind of swirling questions on this another thing James said,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and I'm kind of puzzled over this one. The most
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: basic commitment we owe to our residence is driving public safety.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: And I do say to our residents and not to
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: our citizens, because not everyone of the meaningful members of
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: our community as a citizen of the United States of America. Ah,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: maybe he just latched on and acknowledged my concern over
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: this whole process here. Fineite a matter resources do have
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: a budget deficit yet, and here we are struggling to
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: fill the pension dollars which are woefully underfunded. It's going
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: to take till like twenty forty eight if we stick
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: with have to have Parvol's plan, big scrolling question marks
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: around that one till we're perpetually in a hole. And
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: yet let us see what else did James say? This
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: is taking our residents who vote in our communities, who
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: contribute and pay taxes, and making sure that when they
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: are in that worst day, that time of crisis, that
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: they have legal representation and support. They vote in our
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: communities as well. Hmm do you think they vote in
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: federal elections, Jos Tracker? I mean, I'm asking for a friend.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I hear that never happens. So I thought this particularly.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know if the word comical is correct, but
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: the way I read it, I thought, well, wait a minute,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: why do you need twhnitred and ten thousand dollars? That
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: money is going to go to something called access to Council.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Wcpo's Marlene Lang reporting saying that this access to council
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: provides free notice. They paused on that word, contemplate the
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: word free free legal representation for those facing eviction, and
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I really do not know what the hell this means.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Seventy so you got two hundred and ten thousand Access council,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: seventy thousand going to West End Sports bar and grill.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I'm just shaking his head too. Really, it says, and
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: seventy thousand dollars to West End Sports and Grill for
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the final stages of development period development of what kind
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: of a hole in the reporting on that. I don't
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: mean to cast dispersions, but that doesn't make any sense
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: to me. But wait a second, free legal representation and
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: someone who practiced law for eighteen years litigation. There's a
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: thing called pro bono work. It's actually encouraged by the
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Bar Association, by you know, by legal groups. You know,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: folks involved in ethics. So you know, you should dedicate
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: some of your time. You're a high flutent lawyer, you're smart.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: You should provide free legal representation to those folks on
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: life margins, join the cause, provide your legal services and
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: don't charge anything. Okay, access to council. If you're providing
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: free legal services, just don't mark down a bill. Why
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: do you need twodred ten thousand dollars if what you're
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: doing is free? Anybody? Anyone?
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: What did fail? Surprisingly enough, because I brought this up
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: the other day, there were two motions that were going
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: to be addressed, one of which got shot down. So
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: the twodred ten thousand dollars for the illegal immigrant communities
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: legal fees passed unanimously, pivoting on to the motion to
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: allocate three hundred thousand dollars to what they call an
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: immigrant emergency fund also proposed. That motion failed in a
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: four to five vote. So WCPO reached out to the
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security talking about this motion, and I
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: believe it was quoted the other day. A Tricia McLoughlin,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: spokesperson for the Homeland Security called it a slap in
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: the face to the thirty five percent of Cincinnati children
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: who are living in poverty, saying these dollars should be
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: going to help the social safety net and helping those children.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I'll add that to the list of things that the
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: city would love to pay for. Question of priorities, right,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: what's the priority for the Cincinnati Council, the mayor, and
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: even the city manager. Huh right? Illegal immigrant legal representation?
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I suppose. Meanwhile, infrastructure is imploding upon itself, says Todd
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: zenzer By seventeen Right now, fifty five carsee de talk station.

  Speaker 1: information and thank you to just Treker for keeping that

  Speaker 1: one up to speed. Uh let us see here. Thanks
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: to Todd Zenzer regularly joins the fifty five Casee Morning Show.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: He's got a great podcast, Citizen watch Dog. You should
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: watch out for it. So former Inspector General talking about
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the railway cash and this is something he's brought up
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: on the morning show before. We wrote an out ed
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: of the Cincinnion Quire and thankfully they actually they printed it.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Shenanigans declaration, I think so. Todd points out the Railway
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Trust Fund can best be described as an embarrassment of riches.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Two years after the city on since Southern Railway was sold,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: the city has deployed only a fraction of the eighty
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: five million dollars it has received through the Railway Trust Fund.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: So that there are a few signs indicating the pace of
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: spending is going to accelerate. So they've got the money. Remember,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: the money is supposed to be withdrawn for existing infrastructure projects.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: How is it that they're doing drawdowns, as Todd points out,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: when they're not doing actual projects with the money.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: You're right.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: City ficials recently told the Sincey Southern Railway Trust Board
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: that it had spent about twelve percent of the funds
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: that were distributed last year in this year. December twenty
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: twenty five, local television station reported that only four million
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: of the railway money had been spent during the entire year.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: January sixth status report, the city manager listed, are you
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: ready for this one hundred and seventy infrastructure projects with
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: a command estimated cost of seventy two point seven million dollars? Well, great,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: that's almost the full eighty five million dollars that they've
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: all ready received. But the big butt in the room.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Only nineteen of the one hundred and seventy products identified
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: or expected to be completed before the fall of this year.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: The remainder extend all the way into twenty twenty seven
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: and twenty twenty eight. In some cases, he says, as
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: far out as twenty thirty one, Yet they've got the money.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Fifty of the one hundred and seventy projects listed as
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: quote early stage close quote or TBD which is to
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: be determined, twelve of these projects identified as canceled or
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: on Holdakay pointing out that basically twelve percent of the
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: listed projects are actually expected to be completed this year. Meanwhile,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the city informed the four member Railway Trust Board that
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the distributions not quote immediately ready for deployment close quote
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: that's the list I just gave you are deposited into
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: the City's General Fund investment pool. Seventy five million remains unspent.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Basically could be one hundred million by the end of
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: the year, according to the analysis. Finance Director's analysis said
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: investment income. Are you ready to investment income? That's the
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: money that's sitting in this account generating investment income. It
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: is now the third largest revenue source supporting the General Fund.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: The general Fund which can be used for any project
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: at all, not just existing infrastructure. Hell, they could use
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: the general Fund to fund the Refugee Laws Center or
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: something hm. HM Todd points out, some of you this
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: is an incentive to leave tens of million dollars of
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: infrastructure dollars sitting in the investment pool. At minimum, those
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: funds should be separately tracked and publicly reported so residents
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: can see how much remains unspent and how any associated
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: earnings are used. Good point. The residents did vote for
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: the sale for the rail rate. Why because they wanted
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: the infrastructure dealt with, you said at the Railways Board
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: February tenth meeting, City officials outline stages of infrastructure planning, design,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: procurement and can instruction, as well as funding stages. Also
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: describing recent process of improvements to improve timeliness, he says,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: well necessary, those efforts are not sufficient to overcome this
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: embarrassment of riches. The city needs a course corrections. First,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: increase its organizational capacity in order to deploy the railway funds,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: in other words, spend them. This is the current pace
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: it could take. This is where the rubber hits the
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: road on the failure of prior administrations, including this one.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: At the current pace, it could take thirty five to
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: forty years to address the reported four hundred to five
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: hundred million in deferred maintenance maintenance projects that have left
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: to go that they're falling apart. Look, it's falling apart.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: We're just going to defer that that's partly five hundred
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: million dollars that we haven't addressed over the decades. He
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: points out a list that grows longer and more expensive
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: each year. Reality is that in government takes money to
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: spend money, especially at this scale. The city should seek
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: a formal opinion from the High Attorney General clarifying whether
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: the Railway Trust funds can be used to cover the
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: administrative and staffing costs required to accelerate deployment. So there's
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: that pesky thing. Is that part of existing infrastructure, the
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: staff and everything that goes along with getting these moneies
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: out the door? Question Mark second I, As recommended by
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: an enquire op ed after the twenty twenty three referendum,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: the city should designate a single accountable leader with authority
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: to coordinate departments, remove administrative bottlenecks, and keep projects moving
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: fair enough. Finally, he says the Railway Board should consider
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: aligning distributions more closely with the citator's cities demonstrated deployment capacity.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: In other words, don't hand the damn money out until
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: there is a project that's got guys standing around with
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: shovels in their hands, righting to dig in the ground.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Except for one of funding. Don't let the city put
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: it in its general fund. Don't let the city get
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: the interest earned off of it for the general fund.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Keep the city honest. He suggests maybe a temporary drawdowns system,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: which the city would request funds as needed, rather than
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: getting an automatic quarterly distribution. Right points out that way
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: the funds remain invested in the trust longer, strengthening the
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: trust's long term earnings before they're distributed, and once the
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: city demonstrate it's able to use the money real time,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: then the board can just adjust the timing of its
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: distributions accordingly. Good points, todd zends are good points. Do
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: you feel like you've been sold to Bill Goods for
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: some reason? I want to think about the stadium deal. Yeah,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: we were promised the moon and the stars. We didn't
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: get Jack squad over this. Oh, we just need to
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: sell the railroad. It's gonna be awesome. We're gonna get
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: like eighty five million dollars a year, and as opposed
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: to that pesky thirty five million dollar lease payment. Oh,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: we promise we're gonna use the money just for existing
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: infrastructure projects. You don't have to worry about leg number
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: two or three or five of the street car, right
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: even if they promised it just existing infrastructure projects. Again,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: only twelve percent of the money has already been distributed
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: has been spent. They got five hundred million dollars in
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: backlog of projects that have been left unattended, and yet
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: they're having a difficult time spending the money that's been distributed.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: They can't find I guess concrete. I guess are there
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: no contractors out there? Have they not issued a request
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: for proposals out in the real world? I don't know.
• 19:30

  Speaker 6: Happy Wednesday, good morning, how you feeling the day much?
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much. I am feeling much better. I
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: was like dizzy up until yesterday afternoon late and I
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: started feel a little bit better, got this morning and
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: hit the ground stable. So I was very happy about
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: that and feeling much much. Scare of mind wise, thank
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: you very much, kind of you to ask.
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: Good, but glad to hear. So yeah, I'm going to
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: change stopping here a little bit. I heard an interview yesterday,
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: I think Jim Jordan was being interviewed, and he specifically
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: was warning everybody about stuff that specifically, like the new
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: mayors of New York is saying in socialism and all
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: that stuff that you know, the whole collectivism thing that
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: that guy is trying to get everybody to buy into.
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: And and it got me thinking about, you know, communism
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: was tried in this country early on, and it didn't work,
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: and it's and it's still tried in different pockets. And
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: the only thing that keeps communism going and socialism going
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: in this country in these small areas is because of
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: the wealth that's been generated, uh in this country. And
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: that wealth has not been generated by communism or socialism.
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: It's it's been generated by capitalism through through individuals striving
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: and pushing forward and sacrificing and doing everything that they
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: need to do to to and even some of it's greed,
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: you know, some of it are just greedy people. But
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: they managed to build a business that that turned into
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: some kind of behemoth that a lot of people can
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: benefit from. And the only way that business is going
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: to keep going is if more individuals go behind that
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: individual and keep it going. We we don't need a
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: society that that that provides for everyone. And and and
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: it's not the society's responsibility to make sure you have
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: what you need. It's your individual responsibility to take care
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: of you and your and the people you're responsible for.
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: And and if we have this communism and collectivism, all
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: that does is reward people for being late. That's less
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: that you don't have to work as hard. You can
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: let the hard workers get it all done and make
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: the money and they'll give me some. That's laziness. We
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: don't we don't want to promote that. I mean, if
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: you're out there right now and you're on your way
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: to work, the last thing you want is to know
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: that there's people that are not going to get out
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: of bed today. They're not going to leave their house today,
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: except people don't even go to the mailbox thro a
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: check anymore. Let's be honest. All they do I want
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: to do is where's my money? I want to get paid,
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: I want my You know, that's that's laziness. You really
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: want to fund that kind of behavior.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Specifically people who are capable of participating. That's a good focus.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: That's why the work requirement, I think is such an
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: appropriate one. And listen, if you can work and you're
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: able to work, you know you got to work twenty
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: hours to get your snap benefits. Now fine, maybe that
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: twenty hours of work will result in you having a
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: career and get off of these what is supposed to
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: be temporary social welfare safety net. That's the point. The
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: programs are always intended to be a up for those
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: who are experiencing difficulties, not permanent, the permanent problem.
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and then just being dependent on it and and
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: and being comfortable in the safety net. It's a safety net. Okay, great,
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: we've created a safety net in this country. You don't
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: live in the safety net. The safety net catches you,
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: and you get out of the safety net, and you
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: climb back up the ladder and get up on the
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: tight rope like the rest of us that that makes
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: that safety net stronger. But if a bunch of people
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: are down there in the safety net, well that creates
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: a problem. And then the rest of us are funding
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: your laziness. I don't think so. So you got one
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: side of the ledger that that's what they want to
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: keep going on. They want that safety net and they
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: want people to live in that. They want people to
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: be comfortable in that. And oh and that you're fine,
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: we got you. No, no, we don't want that. The
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: other side of the ledgers telling you, hey, try harder,
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: get back on the horse, do it. Do what you
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: gotta do to support yourself and your family and your
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: contribute to society, and you'll make the society better. So
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: think about which side of the ledger that you want
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: to support. When you get ready to vote, think about
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: who you want to vote for, and don't vote Democrat.
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: Have a great game, man.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Thanks for those who are confused by which political choice
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: to exercise. In so far as if you agree with
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Tom typically but not in all cases, Republicans would be
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: the way to go. Typically five thirty six fifty five
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: car see the talk station. People are always asking about.

  Speaker 1: syrup made from your own backyard. It's just so wonderful. Anyway,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I'm enjoying that. It's something you might want to consider

  Speaker 1: a tradition, matching the description of a wanted suspect told

  Speaker 1: his told the police that his name was George Costanza.

  Speaker 1: This resulted in an obstruction cards. According to court wreckers,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: officers patrolling the Fishing Peer Entertainment Park in Clearwater, Florida,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: they confronted the man who resembled the description of the
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: subject with an active rest warrant. Based on prior interactions
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: with law enforcement, police believed the man to be Josiah Darling,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: thirty year old transient. Darling, recently arrested for trespassing, failed
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: to appear in a court hearing. That's why he was

• 28:32
  Speaker 1: screaming for help. Please say. He tried to rob a
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: landscaping van in Hialia. Had a bit of a problem.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: His name Dean Young. He's twenty six now facing charges
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: of burglary and criminal mischief after the incident on I
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: guess it was Wednesday, Wednesday last rings. Surveillance video chose
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: him getting out of his cargoing across the street and
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: then getting inside this landscaping truck. The owner of the
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: van locked the vehicle when he began lands, and that's
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: when Young began screaming and kicking the van doors for
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: help because he was locked inside. You can hear him saying,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: help me, I'm inside. The homeowner there nursing Toledo said
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Young was banging on the door for a while, claiming
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: he couldn't breathe. Joe surveillance captures officer was getting Young
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: out of the van. According to the rest form, landscapers
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: did not let Young out of the van until the
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: police showed up. Young told police, it's doing idiot things
• 29:32

• 29:35
  Speaker 1: handing out business cards when a dog chased him, got scared,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: ran into the truck for safety. However, the video provided
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: a different account. What thank you, Liam home owner said,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: I think it's funny. It's a dumb crook. I guess
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: now he's watching the news inside the jail. Currently being
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: held in jail free on bell from a previous case.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Judge said his bill at fifteen hundred dollars, but apparently
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: he would remain in jail because I guess he didn't
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: have the ten percent or even the fifteen hundred dollars
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: if it was full cash. He was chased by a dog.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: I just found out the other day that Muslims don't
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: like dogs. They believe them to be unclean. Big swirling
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: controversy in response to some people's well saying that the
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: dogs are less important or more important, as the case
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: may be, than Muslims. Kind of a weird thing. I'm
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: a dog guy, so you can go ahead and make
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: whatever argument you want. I like dogs, don't think them
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: to be unclean, even though we all know that they
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: can be from time to time. So can people go?
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: To Sunrise, Florida. Father there said he's upset after his
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: ex partner left their two young children in an uber
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: for hours. Police arrested Emily Sabogal thirty two in Sunrise,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: now facing charge of a child neglect and abandonment. She
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: appeared in court Sunday. Judge said about fifteen hundred dollars
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: for each of the charges. Father said not the first
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: time she's shown a radic behavior and that he plans
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: to seek full custody. Apparently, the son was down her
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: two young children left in the uber van for hours.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: HM He said, the sergeant call my mom explained that
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: my children's mom was arrested and that she had left
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: the children inside the uber driver's car while she was
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: drunk or getting drunk, as this tradition priorities. Okay, this
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: is funny just because of the reality of the headline
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: officers arrested at this is in Seattle. Forty eight year
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: old fella with active felony warrants for committing another felony.
• 31:38

• 31:49

  Speaker 1: Department of Corrections Supervision with felony warrant for escaping community custody.
• 32:24

• 32:27
  Speaker 1: there's a law in the book. He broke the law.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: We gotta have more jobs. Police also found an additional
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: seventy five hundred dollars felony warrant for a motor vehicle theft.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: I love that police also found, as if the records
• 32:42

  Speaker 1: liberty without strings. All right, You know I don't believe
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: in the religion. Jonathan Lesser Jonathan Lesser is a senior
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Fellow of the National Center for Energy Analytics. He's kind
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: of like a Brigha McGowan kind of guy. He is
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: an energy policy expert. You can't argue with what he
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: has to say about this nonsense talking about carbon capture
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Most policies designed to reduce carbon emissions have focused on
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: reducing reliance on fossil fuels, primarily through state and federal mandates,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: including requirements to increase reliance on wind and solar power,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: replace oil and gas furnaces and water heaters with electric
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: key pumps, force autobile manufacturers sell electric vehicles that most
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: consumers don't want. These mandate sticks have all been accompanied
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: by subsidy carrots paid for by taxpayers and rape payers,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: and I don't want to pause for a moment on
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: that concept. They force you to do something that's more
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: expensive that you don't want to do, that requires taxpayer
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: dollars to support through subst these something like well wind
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: and solar power projects, You don't just build one because
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: it's the right thing economically to do. You need government
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: money to support it through subsidies and tax payer dollars. Ultimately,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: so you're pursuing something that is going to force you
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: to pay more electricity prices. Somebody's got to cover the
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: cost of any of these well incentives. It's kind of
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: like a tariff, isn't it. You believe in global warming religion,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: you think carbon dioxide is evil, ergo you are willing
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: to pay more in order to bring about this reality.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: It's like a voluntary I mean, you think it's voluntary,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: it's not, because I know most people don't believe in
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: this crap, or at least most people that I circle with. Anyway.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Just consider along those lines, tariffs are bad, well, why
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: aren't these subsidies bad? Anyway? He writes. Many of the
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: subsidies were increased under the Inflation Reduction Act of twenty
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: twenty two. But the largest subsidy note the emphasis. The
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: largest subsidy in the inflation were was something entirely new,
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: a payment of up to one and eighty dollars per
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: metric ton to capture carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: Not just like from a coal producing plant or something
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: like that. We're just talking about sucking carbon dioxide out
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: of the air. They claim this might mitigate climate change
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: by reducing atmosphere concentrations of CO two. It's called direct
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: air capture DAC. They say, the carbon dioxide that these
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: these plants, the direct air capture plants, could then be reused,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: for example, and you're gonna love this in enhanced oil
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: recovery or just permanently buried in the ground. I'll get
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: back to the oil recovery component, which is just really
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: fundamentally comical. US Department of Energy report issued at the
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: end of the Biden administration estimated that the US would
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: need to remove get a load of this range remove
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: one hundred million metric tons to two billion metric tons.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Quite a range, there isn't it in order to address
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: climate change using this direct air capture technology. All right,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: somewhere between a hundred million metric tons and two billion
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: metric tons, that's roughly what will address climate change. Why
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: the wide range use your own imagination. They don't know,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: and they're pulling figures out of their sphincter. Anyway, you're right,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Tones and DAC direct air capture. Just if you just
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: listen to how this works, you're gonna realize it's set
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: up for epic fail. Involves large fans that draw outdoor air,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: which pushes them through liquid or solid media, which apparently
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: captures the CO two and removes it via chemical processes,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: then compresses the carbon dioxide for transport, and either use
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: or sequester it. You can use carbon dioxide. Apparently there
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: are several dozen of these facilities already in operation. Mostly
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: in Europe. Shocking no One. The goal of this direct
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: air capture advocates is to build large scale facilities, each
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: capable of extracting one million metric tons of CO two annually.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Now remember the goal here, according to the Department of Energy,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: one hundred million to two billion tons removed. So one
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: of these large scale facilities built on the back of
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: the taxpayers is going to remove one million probably on
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: its best day. There are two companies, climb Works and
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: Carbon Engineering, that have commercialized different technologies for this technology commercialized.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Why again, a whole cloth new industry created by a random,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: arbitrary legislation designed to capture carbon. Look the Inflation Reduction
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Act one hundred and eighty bucks per metric ton. I
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: can commercialize on that. Sure, I can suck carbon doc
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: side out of the atmosphere, but you know what, what
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: is it going to do? We'll get to that. So
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: you got two companies that can do this. Currently, the
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: only singular large scale facility, remember that's what they're pushing for,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: is currently under construction by of all companies, Occidental Petroleum
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: in the Permium base in Texas. That facility is called Stratos.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Doesn't matter, but it's designed to capture half a million
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: metric tons of COEO two annually, which, welcome to the laughter,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: will be injected into Occidental Petroleum's oil wells to enhance
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: crude oil production. Enhance crude oil production, I might find
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: that to be a good thing. I didn't realize you
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: could use carbon dioxide to enhance oil production. But I
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: thought the idea of this whole inflation reduction action, the
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Green New Deal, and the green energy and climate of
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: religion was to get rid of the use of crude
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: oil anyway, tangential benefit of an otherwise comically stupid idea
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: direct air capture. As Jonathan Lesser points out, he's got
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: a new report. These technologies and all potential DAC technologies
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: have what he calls an achilles heel the laws of thermodynamics.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Let's repeal those laws, shall we? Regardless of the technology employed.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: Extracting CO two directly from the atmosphere inherently energy intensive.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: Going back to the description of how it works, you
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: might be scratching your head, going, wait a second, all
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: these fans and turbines and running it through the liquid
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: and that's got it, Yes, a lot of energy, and
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: he breaks it down for us, further explaining why this
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: is absolutely stupid on every single level. Now, of course,
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: if you're burning fossil fuels to run these DAC facilities,
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: it negates any benefit that that facility might theoretically provide. Right,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: So let's use electricity generated from zero emission sources. Right,
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: We just get the windmills and solar panels to power
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: these facilities. Here's how that works, he says. For example,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: the theoretical minimum of energy needed to meet a one
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: billion metric ton objective would require the equivalent of ten
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: percent of all electricity generated in the United States, at least,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: based on twenty twenty four figures, ten percent of everything
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: the country a thredder to forty plus million people and
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: all the businesses, industry, homes, and everything else that runs
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: on electricity. Sorry, we're gonna take ten percent of that
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: a way to suck some carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. Okay,
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: The practical energy required would be at least thirty percent
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: of all the electricity. Why, because there is no one
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: hundred percent efficient electricity production. There's always loss going through
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: transmission lines. It's the laws of physics and thermodynamics at
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: work here. So thirty percent of every megawad of electricity
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: we generated in twenty twenty four would need to go
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: to fire up these DAC facilities if they were even built.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: Remember we got one here in the United States. It's
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: only going to cover five hundred thousand metric tons if
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: it works, all right, problem they're addressed. Producing that much
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: electricity would require building hundreds of new nuclear plants. I
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: have no problem with building hundreds of new nuclear plants
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: if you and I get the benefit of the electricity
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: carbon neutral it is. But we got a little problem.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: Uranium availability is a bit limited right now. Uh yeah,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: we really don't make or dig or produce our own uranium.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: So it means we got to go out in the
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: open market in the world, notably dealing with Russia and
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: other well enemies to get the uranium that which they
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: may not be inclined to sell us. Just the thought. Now,
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: if they use wind and solar to run these facilities,
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: it would require an area larger than the state of Florida.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: Couple that with hundreds of thousands of megawatts of battery storage. Yeah,
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: you gotta keep the power where the wind is blowing
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: and the sun is shining. You got to put it
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: someplace because oh look, lo and behold, when there's a
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: nice big layer of snow on the solar panels, or
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: the wind is not blowing, then you don't get electricity,
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: so you better take it while it's available. That's the
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: nature of the unreliable green power generations. So and can
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: you imagine the environmental damage? And we'll get to the
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: cost of this, but that many batteries, hundreds of thousands
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: of megawatts of battery story. The cost to build the
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: required energy generating capacity alone, he points out, would be
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: trillions of dollars. Building the transmission lines that will be
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: needed to connect these facilities would cost hundreds of billions
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: of dollars more, and totally writes the cost is likely
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: to be over four hundred dollars per metric ton of
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: CO two remove, far higher than even the most recent
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: estimates of the social cost of carbon, which supposedly measure
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: the damage to the climate from each additional ton of
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: CO two. So you have the reality of how much
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: it's going to cost to remove this carbon dioxide, this
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: theoretical amount, But then, really, what is it going to
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: mean to you and me if we engage in this
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: ridiculous process. How much are we going to benefit? Well,
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: there you go. It far exceeds doing this any benefit
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: that you and I might get down the road as
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: a result of the carbon being removed. So dumb idea. Yes,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: despite the huge energy or energy requirements, the impact on
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: atmospheric CO two, another foul atmospheric CO two concentrations and
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: global temperatures would be miniscule. Here you go, The current
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: CO two concentration in the atmosphere four hundred and twenty
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: five parts per million. Fine, Removing a billion metric tons
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: of CO two would reduce the concentration by one tenth
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: of one part per million. And if you look over
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: at the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Sensitivity estimates, the
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: resulting impact on temperature point zero zero three degrees celsius,
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: which is forty times less than the margin of error
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: in measuring global temperatures. Hey, he points out, even a
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: billions of metric tons of CO two were captured and
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: sequestered annually, the impact on world temperatures by year twenty
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: one hundred would be so small that there will be
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: no noticeable impact on the climate. And here is a
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: great exclamation point, as he concludes his thoughts on this stupidity.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: Storing CO two underground poses environmental and health risk because
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: one it could escape, like what happened in Cameroon in
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: the nineteen eighties. I've read this. I was like, hmm,
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: and I do recall reading this story. There's a lake
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: there called Nios in Camera and it just burped one day.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: Apparently CO two had been building up beneath the soil
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: underneath the lake's surface, and then one day it burst,
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: releasing several hundred thousand tons of CO two, which caused
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: seventeen the deaths of seventeen hundred people and the deaths
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: of thousands of cattle in the lower lying areas near
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: the lake. They just makes an interesting observation. Don't you
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: think it will be unreasonable to assume that after sequestering
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: billions of dons of CO two underground, similar events could
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: take place. Yeah, like the wildfires, the volcanoes and everything else.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: That negates literally every human effort to remove carbon dioxide
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: from the planet every single year. These physical, economic, and
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: environmental realities means the DAC is the technology whose time
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: will never come. We can only hope it will never come.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: Why in the hell if this is so dumb are
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: they building one of these capture facilities in ten or
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: literally anywhere in the world. Compliments of your taxpayer dollars,
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: you get nothing in return, nothing six nineteen fifty five
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: KR see the talk station something you will get when
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: you talk with Susette. Look at just shut us six
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: twenty five and I do have Steve. I got New
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: Hampshire Gary, another caller online. Don't have time to get
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: a substantive comment from you, so if you don't mind
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: holding will do him. In the order in which they
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: receive means Gary and Steve coming out of the gate
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: right after a quick word for my friend John Ryan,
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: a prestige The talk Station six point thirty fifty five
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: KRC The Talk Station Wednesday Big Picture with Jack Adan
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: and at the top of the hour a new stoking
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: rage out for now Donald and Neil with the Ohio
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: legislative scorecard for Americans for prosperity. Without further ado, over
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: to the phones, order in which they receive, Steve and
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: Wes said, stay on the line, New Hampshire, Gary, welcome back,
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: my friend. Happy Wednesday, Hey.
• 47:59
  Speaker 8: Doing Brian, both priors for both you and Joe for
• 48:03
  Speaker 8: everything that you guys are going through. Yeah, I've got
• 48:10
  Speaker 8: a pretty good memory. And the first thing you started
• 48:13
  Speaker 8: talking about the rarity of mining uranium the building plants.
• 48:18
  Speaker 8: If you go back to twenty ten, when Hillary was
• 48:22
  Speaker 8: Secretary of State for Obama, there was a big scandal
• 48:27
  Speaker 8: called Uranium One, which was a Russian held company mining
• 48:33
  Speaker 8: uranium both between Canada and the United States. And when
• 48:38
  Speaker 8: she was Secretary of Defense, she had to approve this
• 48:43
  Speaker 8: deal that went through. It went through several other agencies,
• 48:47
  Speaker 8: but they were mining all the uranium out of Canada
• 48:51
  Speaker 8: and the United States and send it back to Russia.
• 48:56
  Speaker 8: And then there was large donations made to the Clinton
• 48:59
  Speaker 8: World Foundation after that. You know, the left hand washes
• 49:04
  Speaker 8: the right hand and nothing's found. It's just it's amazing
• 49:09
  Speaker 8: how we're just we got grifters crippling this country and
• 49:14
  Speaker 8: nobody gives one.
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: Food about it.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: No question, you got it. Yeah, I mean the article
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: I just read express is also an expression of the grift.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: They are spending countless millions, if not billions of dollars
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: through this direct air capture. And you know, even if
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: you believe that carbon dioxide is bad, we need to
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: remove from the atmosphere. These projects are an epic, pointless
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: waste of time and achieve literally nothing. You know, who
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: benefits the two companies that have commercialized the technology. They're
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: gonna get all the subsidies and benefits, They're gonna have
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: their employees paid, They're gonna build their stupid facilities and
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: get you know, probably end up like a one to
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: twenty three years Cylindra, out of business and doing nothing
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: down the road, because well, what they are doing accomplish
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: is literally nothing. So if you're a global warming climate
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: change activist, oh my god, CO two sucks, you should
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: be outraged that the money is going to this type
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: of project. It doesn't work.
• 50:06
  Speaker 8: It reminds me of those solar panels they put out
• 50:09
  Speaker 8: in the middle of the desert out in California for
• 50:12
  Speaker 8: one point two billion dollars and then they and they
• 50:15
  Speaker 8: were big glass panels to heat water to make electric.
• 50:19
  Speaker 8: Then they discovered, oh, it hails out there every once
• 50:23
  Speaker 8: in a while, broke calder.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: Mirror, just like it snows in the New England area
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: and it freezes the wind turbines up and it covers
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: the solar panels.
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: Couldn't see that coming, could you, Steve? Welcome to the show.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: Thanks for holding over the breake there.
• 50:38
  Speaker 9: Welcome back, Yes, sir, I'm glad you're feeling better.
• 50:41
  Speaker 10: Thank you, verch may I put an exclamation point on
• 50:45
  Speaker 10: what you said a few minutes ago talking about the
• 50:48
  Speaker 10: carbon dioxide capturing.
• 50:50
  Speaker 9: Sure at the what you should have finished that up
• 50:54
  Speaker 9: with is and then there are wildfires in Canada, or
• 51:00
  Speaker 9: or fire fires in southern California or a volcano.
• 51:07
  Speaker 6: Now maybe not.
• 51:08
  Speaker 9: I'd all give me a break here, and it it
• 51:12
  Speaker 9: Everything that happened means nothing. You mentioned how small the
• 51:16
  Speaker 9: capture level was one other thing, and I apologize if
• 51:21
  Speaker 9: you said that. I'm whatever. I'm walking around the house.
• 51:24
  Speaker 9: I'm looking out the window to see if the neighbors
• 51:26
  Speaker 9: left yet, you know, I'm I'm busy here. Okay. So
• 51:31
  Speaker 9: it's hard to be a Republican. And it's hard to
• 51:33
  Speaker 9: be a Republican because our side is so inarticulate. And
• 51:38
  Speaker 9: and we'll talk about climate change. The RNC should have
• 51:43
  Speaker 9: pulled everybody aside that's going to run for office twenty
• 51:47
  Speaker 9: years ago and said, any time in a debate or
• 51:50
  Speaker 9: anybody in the media asks you about climate change, you
• 51:55
  Speaker 9: ask them if they're asking you about climate change, or
• 51:58
  Speaker 9: man made climate change? Right, But our side's too stupid
• 52:03
  Speaker 9: to do that. I mean it is hard to support.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: Well, no, no, no, you are dead on rights to you,
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: but I think baked into the equation by this point,
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: County your twenty twenty six. We've been talking about this
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: for so many years of not decades, that people automatically
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: assume when people are screaming about climate change, they are
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: talking about man made climate change because who could deal
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: with natural climate change? What are you going to change
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: the sun spots? Are you going to change the Earth's
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: alignment and everything else that might have an impact on
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: climate change? No, I think that it's just sort of understood.
• 52:33
  Speaker 10: But you are right, Yeah, but you don't allow them
• 52:36
  Speaker 10: to take the moniker man made off of it.
• 52:39
  Speaker 9: Otherwise it sounds.
• 52:39
  Speaker 7: Like you're ignorant exact.
• 52:41
  Speaker 9: In other words, if they were saying high tides are
• 52:44
  Speaker 9: much higher now, low tides are much lower, and it's
• 52:48
  Speaker 9: because something we're doing, it's like no, but our side
• 52:53
  Speaker 9: would be asked, oh, you don't believe in title changes now,
• 52:56
  Speaker 9: and our side would be stupid enough to start answering
• 52:59
  Speaker 9: without saying, are you asking me about man made versus natural?
• 53:03
  Speaker 10: Were you curring.
• 53:03
  Speaker 9: It's very easy to put that in front of or
• 53:07
  Speaker 9: right back at the person that asks you about climate
• 53:10
  Speaker 9: change every time. Every time they ask you about it.
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: It's a great points to you. I am not denying it.
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: I just think again, the default mindset is to assume
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: that people are talking about man made or man responsible
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: climate change. Otherwise, you know, dealing with title changes. We're
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: gonna deal with that pesky moon and its gravitational impact
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: on the tides. Six thirty six eight Talk Station sixty

  Speaker 1: pund My name is Brian Thomas, and I always love
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: hearing from a good friend. Wessaie Jim west Side. Jim,
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: thanks for holding over the break, my fellow cancer surviving friend.
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: Appreciate you calling in this morning.
• 53:51
  Speaker 7: Cancer sucks, br Yes, it does.
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: Whatever is bipartisan. One hundred percent of all politicians serve
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: made say cancer sucks. We have biparts in beautiform agreement.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: The only thing we can all agree on collectively.
• 54:07
  Speaker 7: Go ahead, well the Democrats way. Finally, reason it doesn't sucks,
• 54:11
  Speaker 7: you know, whatever reason it would be, that's for sure,
• 54:14
  Speaker 7: just for an argument, but I'm glad your faulg is
• 54:17
  Speaker 7: left town.
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: I feel dramatically better today, Jim. I truly appreciate it.
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: I'm just still scratching my head over why I'm struggling
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: with these treatments and not the ones that I went
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: through five years ago. Oh well, maybe I'm just.
• 54:28
  Speaker 7: Probably changed your prescription on what they pumped into.
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they doubled up on the chemo, so
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: I get two days where the chemo, and last time
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: I don't even recall getting chemo. I just use anyway,
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. But yeah, I'm feeling the effects this time.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: So I apologize for that, and I appreciate the listeners understanding.
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: It's just it's just weird, really really strange feeling so
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: but not today.
• 54:52
  Speaker 7: A couple of things off subject. Brian number one, hook
• 54:55
  Speaker 7: a brother up on some of that made the syrup?
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: Will you.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: Dude?
• 55:01
  Speaker 7: Four gowns pancakes?
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: Oh man, four gowns? I got six ounces exactly good
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: for The translation is forty gowns of sap equals one
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: gallon of syrup, so it's a forty one reduction, so
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: you know what you're getting into it. I actually did
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: the math on that with my four gallons ahead of time,
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: I said, oh, I'm gotta get about six ounce is
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: sure enough? That's exactly what I got worth it. Absolutely,
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: I'll bring my own jar.
• 55:27
  Speaker 7: That's okay, Okay, a little bit off subject again, Brian.
• 55:32
  Speaker 7: We had a meeting last night in the Cincinnati West
• 55:35
  Speaker 7: Republican Club. Listen to this lineup. The first first person
• 55:39
  Speaker 7: that spoke for about ten minutes, let's talk about Corey Bowman.
• 55:43
  Speaker 7: Then for about the next twenty minutes Signal ninety nine.
• 55:47
  Speaker 7: Oh wow, and the round it all off, mister brilliant.
• 55:52
  Speaker 7: Tom's inzer.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: Oh that's fantastic. You know, I opened up the show
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: talking about his op ed piece about the railway dollars
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: being stuffed.
• 56:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: Man, that stinks.
• 56:03
  Speaker 7: That was a heck of a lineup, buddy, But I
• 56:05
  Speaker 7: understand the reason I'm bringing that up is that I
• 56:08
  Speaker 7: know you have Corey and Signal ninety nine in the
• 56:11
  Speaker 7: studio Friday from eighteen thirty. So that oh, really pretty interesting.
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: See, you know the line up before I do. Strecker
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: never tells me what's who I'm going to be talking
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: to the next day. I don't even know, So you
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: get the inside pace.
• 56:25
  Speaker 7: It was on Facebook.
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: Oh well, you know, I have limited involvement with Facebook
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: on a day to day basis, sort of rely on
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: their algorithm to feed me posts, and that one was
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: not fed to me. So thank you for enlightening me
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: about who I'm going to be talking to on Friday.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: Looking forward to it.
• 56:39
  Speaker 7: But the one thing I want to bring up with her,
• 56:43
  Speaker 7: she's got She bought some enlightenment on the mayor and
• 56:48
  Speaker 7: city council and so forth last night, which I don't
• 56:50
  Speaker 7: want to get into because I know time is short,
• 56:52
  Speaker 7: But can I be interesting or listen to it?
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: Can I just ask you? Did she say anything about
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: the situation with the investigation and investigation to Police Chief
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: Threes at DJI while she was put on an administrative
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: leave without reason.
• 57:05
  Speaker 7: No, she didn't bring that up at all.
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, maybe.
• 57:09
  Speaker 7: She talked a lot about the the accident and she
• 57:12
  Speaker 7: talked a lot about Iris Rowley. Oh my god, does
• 57:15
  Speaker 7: that open some some wounds up on how much and
• 57:19
  Speaker 7: control she really is of that eight oh one plumb downtown.
• 57:23
  Speaker 7: So hopefully she brings a sub Friday. It's incredible because
• 57:27
  Speaker 7: the question was asked, what's it going to take to
• 57:29
  Speaker 7: get her fired, and that's that's what opened the floodgates.
• 57:34
  Speaker 7: But she seems sharp. I mean, I'm telling you, I
• 57:37
  Speaker 7: wouldn't be I wouldn't like to be on her bad side,
• 57:39
  Speaker 7: that's for sure.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: Definitely, I'm gonna do all I can to stay on
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: the good side of signal ninety nine.
• 57:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah, anyway, that's that's all I wanted, Brian. But like
• 57:49
  Speaker 7: I said, I'll bring my own jar. And I hate
• 57:51
  Speaker 7: to have you go through all that work just to
• 57:53
  Speaker 7: help me.
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's worth it helping you, aut Jim, You've been
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: a dear friend. You've helped me through a whole lot
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: of jams over the years, and your friendship is just
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: terrifically valuable to me. So yeah, I'll find some for you, Jim.
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: Don't don't sweat that.
• 58:06
  Speaker 7: I'm only I'm only you know what.
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: There's always some nuggeted truth and do a joke.
• 58:11
  Speaker 9: I know that.
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: And so hey, maybe you'll be blessed by a delivery.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: We'll see you got to show up the listener lunch though, Jim,
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: you've been suspiciously absent for a long long time.
• 58:23
  Speaker 7: I had a vet appointment til the other day. On
• 58:26
  Speaker 7: that one, I couldn't and you're you know, you're a
• 58:28
  Speaker 7: dog lover and we had to do an ultrasound and
• 58:31
  Speaker 7: everything else.
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, man, that's that's that's your excuse, that's your excuse
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: for one of the last seven or eighth you haven't
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: shown up to I miss your brother, miss your man.
• 58:39
  Speaker 7: I know, and I was close too with with Ron Bruce.
• 58:43
  Speaker 7: I hate missing that one.
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: Works works in Loveland. The works in Loveland first Wednesday
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: next month. Maybe you can make it. I certainly won't
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: hold it against you if you can't, Jim, I.
• 58:52
  Speaker 7: Understand well that that means I could pick up my
• 58:54
  Speaker 7: uh my syrup at that time.
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: You could. Theoretically, you gonna have to show up to
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: do that. Love you have a good day. Thanks that

  Speaker 1: and we'll learn together what he means when he talks

  Speaker 1: scorecard that at seven thirty. Who we can stick around
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: for that. In the meantime, on a tear about this
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: energy policy, this climate change nonsense.
• 59:35
  Speaker 11: Uh?
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: And thank god for coal. You remember winter storm firm Yeah,
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: all the way from Texas, New England. We got what
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: two feet of snow here in the greater Cincinnati area.
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: A lot of people in Tennessee anyway lost power, two
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: hundred and forty five thousand customers in Tennessee. But not
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: a massive power outage. Now why was that?
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: Hmm?
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: Coal that was the reason. Now, I will say Emily Arthurn,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: who is a CEO of American Coal Council, probably biased
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: on this, but the information she passes along is objective.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: So enter coal massive storm. The national electric grid held
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: during the here's the point. During the coldest day of
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: the days of the storm, coal fired generation in the
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: lower forty eight states surged typically seventy gigawatt hours per day,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: jumping almost double to one hundred and thirty. That additional
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: generation representative increase in available power exactly when the electric
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: heating demand spiked and system margins tight notably gas. Yeah,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: they had a problem with the gas freeze up. So
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: I guess during really really cold weather you can't deliver
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: gas anyway. That happened during the whole huge storm, But
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: coal generation kept power flowing to tens of millions of
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: households across this great land of ours. Looking at Mid
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: Continent Independent System Operator MISO, that's a region electric region.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: Coal supplied about forty percent of the electricity during peak hours.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: Over the other region PJM coal one quarter of total generation.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: Foundational to grid stability. If they remove the coal from it,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: guess what the lights and the power would have gone out.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: People probably would have frozen to death without evil coal.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: Contrast with weather dependent resources that would be solar and wind,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: which is a sort of sporadic, if I may be
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: delicate about it. When generation declined during the storm, turbines
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: iced over. Remember Texas from a few years back when
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: that happened. Solar output fell sharply as panels well covered
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: by snow. And the shortening of daylight hours too. There's
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: your natural phenomenon. Oh my god, the days are getting shorter.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: Hydro power also faced limitations from frozen waterways and constrain inflows.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: This obviously points out the limitation of these so called
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: renewable yet unreliable resources. Coal advantage means these moments, advantage
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: in these moments straightforward. She points out, on site fuel,
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: they stockpile the coal at the coal facility. Look it's
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: right there. Turn it on, insulating power plants from supply
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: chain disruptions at precisely the moment. What other fuels face constraints, like,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: for example, the gas supply. Now, if you're limited any
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: number of pipelines, gas supply is necessarily limited. But in
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: frozen cold tundra temperatures, apparently that is a problem with
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: a gas delivery system. Look coal, it's all piled up,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: even if it's frozen outside. You can access the coal
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: and feed it into the coal fired plant. Wardings from
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: grid authorities reinforce the point. Department of Energy and with
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: American Electricity Reliability Corporation have cautioned that continue coal retirements
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: retirements of these plants without equivalent replacement by firm dispatchable resources.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: In other words, you shut down a coal plant, don't
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: tell me the solar farm and the windmill farm is
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: going to be there, because it's not dispatchable immediately. Thus
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: risks of outage increase, particularly during the worst possible times
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: for that to happen, extreme winter conditions when electricity demand
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: actually goes up shocking literally no one. Plus it's affordable,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: so thank God for coal. At least some states haven't
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: shut down their coal plants and others interestingly enough, as
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: we turn the bend on this nonsense reopening previously shuttered
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: coal plants five to fifty or six fifty six. Right now,

  Speaker 1: Always love this time of the week and to talk

  Speaker 1: with Jack Adam and the brilliance of Jack Adan revealed
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: every week with the Big Picture. Jack Adthan, welcome back
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: to the fifty five Cassey Morning Show. My dear friend.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: It is a distinct pleasure to be able to bring
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: you to my listening audience.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 12: Thank you, Pal. We're all so glad that you're feeling better.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Jack, and I appreciate you reaching
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: out to me yesterday and asking I feel a million
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: times better than yesterday. So just take some passage of time,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: get that keynot out of my system, and I guess
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: my brain is functioning is about as decent as it can,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: which is always subject to limitations.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 12: I'll try to keep up. One lily done that makes
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 12: all of us feel bad is something I trusted a
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 12: few minutes ago. You stumble or stub your toe on
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 12: a piece of furniture. Every week at the beginning of
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 12: the old Dick Van Dyke Show, you remember you'd fall
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 12: over a footstool.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: I did watch immediately it was rerun's Jack. I don't
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: want to I mean, I know how old I am,
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: but I wasn't watching the original airings of the Dick
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: Van Dyke Show. I do remember that scene every time
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: the show often though.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 12: I don't want to pull seniority on you, but yeah, yeah,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 12: in real time, well, Dick would immediately jump up, laugh
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 12: and hug his family. Well, not being as good natured
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 12: as Dick Van Dyke, you and I, Brian would probably
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 12: kick the ottoman. It's irrational, it's even mean spirited, but
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 12: we kicked the stuffing out of that footstool, folks. I
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 12: think that's a key to America. In twenty twenty six,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 12: millions of people, mostly Democrats, are kicking this stuffing out
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 12: of our country because they're filled with irrational, mean spirited,
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 12: self destructive rage. It wasn't always like this, even for
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 12: people who were a heck of a lot worse off
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 12: than we are. The Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock in
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 12: sixteen twenty and found nothing, just a lot of woods,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 12: wild animals Indians. Instead of kicking something, they invited the
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 12: Indians to a Thanksgiving feast. They gave thanks to God
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 12: for getting them out of England, where they could have
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 12: been killed for refusing to join the established church headed
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 12: by the King. America at that time did not offer welfare,
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 12: free schooling, free housing, free anything other than whatever you
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 12: could hunt or grow for yourself, and yet the Pilgrims
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 12: were brimming with gratitude, not rage. The same was true
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 12: for all the legal immigrants from all over the world
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 12: who freely chose to come here. Some of them believed
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 12: America's streets were paved with gold. When our ancestors found
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 12: they were not, they didn't burn everything down. They got
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 12: to work and achieved as much success as they chose
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 12: to work for. They realized that America is not the
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 12: land of guaranteed success. It's the land of opportunity, more
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 12: opportunity than they ever had back in the old Country. Now,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 12: slaves did not choose to come here, and you could
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 12: have forgiven them for being enraged. Many were, but most
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 12: were grateful when Lincoln and the North fought a civil
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 12: war to free them. And although full equality before the
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 12: law took far too long, leaders like doctor Martin Luther
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 12: King Junior challenged black people as well as white to
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 12: embrace the nineteen sixties Silver or Rights laws. Not to
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 12: burn cities, but to assimilate and succeed, to be judged
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 12: and rewarded as individuals, not as a victim group, on
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 12: the basis of their character, not the color of their skin.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 12: Black families began fragmenting, with now seventy percent of children
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 12: born into households without a married father, not after a
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 12: manse patient and not during the Great Depression. Black fatherlessness
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 12: exploded only after Democrats in the nineteen sixties paid increased
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 12: welfare to mothers so long as there was no man
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 12: living in the house. We've often talked about this. This
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 12: was democrats social engineering designed to destroy poor families of
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 12: every race and ethnicity and make them dependent on big government.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 12: Poverty alone does not lead to rioting. During the Great Depression,
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 12: families of all races were starving, but they still pulled together.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 12: In the nineteen thirties, crime actually dropped throughout the country.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 12: Homicide rates fell by twenty percent. By the way, it's
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 12: no coincidence that the murder rate has also fallen by
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 12: the same twenty percent during the first year of Donald
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 12: Trump's second term. Why well, just as Franklin Roosevelt did
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 12: and Joe Biden never did, Trump is holding out hope
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 12: that America will grow again. It already is growing again,
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 12: and not just the stock market. New plants that would
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 12: have been built overseas are now being built here in
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 12: America thanks to trillions of dollars in foreign investment. While
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 12: almost all new jobs under Joe Biden were government jobs,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 12: the latest staggering job number show that under Trump, it's
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 12: private companies that are creating new jobs, including manufacturing. Barack
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 12: Obama scoffed that it would take a magic wand to
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 12: bring these jobs back from communists. China had much higher wages,
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 12: but under Trump were once again becoming a nation of achievers,
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 12: not a nation of victims consumed with rage and rage, Brian,
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 12: over what After Marxists took over universities and culture in
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 12: the nineteen sixties, they stoked rage over race relations and
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 12: the Vietnam War. Then we saw rage and bra burning.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 12: This really confused me as a kid by women, even
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 12: though millions of women opposed an equal rights constitutional amendment,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 12: worried that women would be subject to the draft, although
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 12: that amendment was defeated. Women are they now serves today? No,
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 12: They outnumber men in college and in law school and
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 12: many other fields. The free market works. If we haven't
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 12: yet elected a female president, well, Brian, look at the candidates,
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 12: be the crooked socialist Hillary Clinton, and I don't have
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 12: to say anything to explain this, Kamala Harris. We've also
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 12: seen rage over gay rights, which most Americans quickly embraced,
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 12: then transsexual rights, which Americans also embraced as long as
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 12: children were not being drugged or mutilated, and transsexuals did
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 12: not demand the right to play women's sports. And now
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 12: most sinned against of all, we have tens of millions
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 12: of illegal migrants, including child predators, drug dealers, gang members, killers.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 12: Democrats are enraged that we want to deport the worst
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 12: of them, as required by laws that were supported by
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 12: Democrats until Donald Trump became president. Brian, inclosing the Welsh
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 12: poet Dylan Thomas, writing about his dying father, summed up
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 12: modern outrage quote, do not go gentle into that good night. Rage,
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 12: rage against the dying of the light. I've never understood
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 12: this poem Dylan Thomas's father, the.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: Fight off death.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 12: It's about death, and that's fine.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: Rage into it, don't capitulate to it. Against the machine,
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: Rage against it, yeah, Rage against the dying of the light.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah. But to be enraged by something that we're
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 12: all going to face. Dylan Thomas's father did not die
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 12: at the hands of political foes or street thugs. He
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 12: did not even die tripping over an Ottoman in a
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 12: family of heavy smokers. The poet's father died from throat
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 12: cancer at age seventy six.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: That's terrible.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 3: I feel bad about it.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 12: Dylan Thomas himself, who smoked like a chimney and drank
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 12: like a fish, also contracted throat cancer. Brian, you and
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 12: I are lucky, beyond any merit of our own, to
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 12: have been born in America, to loving parents. We both
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 12: still have our wonderful mothers, and we're married to the
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 12: best wives of the world. So when I'm faced, as
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 12: we all will be, by the dying of the light,
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 12: I'll get the best treatment I can, the way you
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 12: have and the way Amesley did when she had cancer,
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 12: and I'll pray that she recovers. But if I am dying,
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 12: all I want to say is thank you God. I
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 12: won't be filled with rage. I'll be filled with gratitude,
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 12: as the overwhelming number of our fellow Americans should be. Meantime, friends,
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 12: use the time you have in the light to seize opportunity,
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 12: work peacefully within the law to change things you feel
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 12: are unjust. And when you do trip over an Ottoman,
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 12: don't kick it. Don't rage. Instead jump up like Dick
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 12: van Dyke and hug your family. What do you say,
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 12: my chef, Use.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: It as a learning exercise and watch where you're walking. Jack,
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: I gotta go back to the point you made this
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: whole idea. It's this Trump's derangement center. We can call
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: it that. Everybody knows what it is. But these policies
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: that Trump has embraced strong on borders, deportations, these are
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: literally things that prior democratic administrations have embraced and campaign
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: on and crowed about. Obama was the deporter in chief
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: and kicked more people out of this country than any
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: other president prior to him. And you know, I guess
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump's busily trying to catch up with Obama's record.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: You know, how come it was okay then not a
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: single issue raised, not a concern raised. What Obama did it?
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: And now it's like, oh my god, we're all gonna die.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: This is the most evil atrocity against humanity that everybody's
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: ever known. Ah, It's it's bizarre they haven't. I mean,
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: this is just a moment in time, in years ago
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: in history when they were embracing the strategy we forget.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 12: Ran is that people will forget that they'll never learn.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 12: In the first place, they are catering to the stupidest,
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 12: most ignorant people in the country, or people who have
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 12: an agenda. And that's the multi national corporations we were
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 12: talking about. By the way, a word about Obama. He's
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 12: getting tremendous credit for having deported millions of people. But
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 12: remember Obama was shipping people in Remember the kids on
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 12: the top of the railroad cars that were coming in
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 12: from Mexico. That went on for two years, and then,
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 12: as Obama said, he took a shellacking in the midterms,
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 12: and that's when he changed those policies. There is one
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 12: person today who's expressing righteous anger, and I think that's
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 12: Marco Rubio. At the Munich Security Conference, our Secretary of
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 12: State called out Europeans for selling out Western civilization, western
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 12: values of tolerance and individual liberty by allowing Europe to
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 12: be overrun by Third World migrants who don't share those values,
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 12: who don't want to assimilate, they want a rule. But
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 12: Rubio could have added that America has done the same
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 12: thing under Democrats and establishment Republicans led by We've talked
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 12: about this before the Wall Street Journal, which proposed that
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 12: infamous five word constitutional amendment, there shall be open Borders.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 12: The journal was speaking for multinational corporations moving America's manufacturing
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 12: base to communist China because those businesses are more interested
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 12: in cheap labor than American jobs and national security. President Trump,
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 12: whether or not you like the way he puts it,
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 12: he's reversing this. Just last month, as I said, he
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 12: added one hundred and seventy two thousand new jobs, all
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 12: in a private sector, many in manufacturing, and at the
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 12: same time Trump cut another thirty four thousand government jobs.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 12: The only jobs that Joe Biden created because all Joe
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 12: Biden and the Democrats and the establishment Republicans cared about
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 12: then was growing government and dependency on government by Americans
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 12: and tens of millions of illegal invaders.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: Well, you gain me a shot of optimism there, Jackie.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: I then in four we part company this morning, and
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: I just got to ask you. Barack Obama took a
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: shallocking in the midterms, primarily at least in because of
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: his border policy, shipping a whole bunch of people in
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: only to reverse course and kick people out. Might that
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: happen again because Donald Trump is embracing a well, a
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: deporter in chief type of policy that Obama embraced after
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: taking a shellacking. Maybe the American people are still on
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: the side of deportation for the worst of the worst
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: among us in this country. Maybe the other thing is
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: that we all embrace photo ID and think it's a
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: pretty good idea in spite of the fact that Democrats
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: are calling it. Jim Crow two point zero, going back
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: to your point about people being ignorant and buying into
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: that stupid summary. Maybe people don't like they're young women
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: playing sports against men. They seem to be on the
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: wrong side of the equation on that issue as well.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: Many reasons why the Democrats should not win in November.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: Maybe they'll happen that way, Jack, It may.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 12: We don't all embrace photo ID. Mitch McConnell, who did
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 12: embrace it for almost all of his career, he's not
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 12: coming out in favor of that right now because who
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 12: I said, we have a wing of the Republican Party.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 12: We hear them from them on your show a lot
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 12: that have Trump arrangement central and don't embrace policies that
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 12: they had always supported. The biggest problem that Trump is
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 12: going to face is apathy on the part of Republicans.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 12: The turnout numbers that we see, and we talk about
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 12: this every week because we have to are just deplorable
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 12: and not in the Hillary Clinton sense, in the real sense,
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 12: and well, and we just have to get out, be nice,
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 12: to get out for the primaries and choose the Republican
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 12: candidate that you want, who is aligned with your values
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 12: and who can also win.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: But we got to get out, get out and vote.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: You know, going back to the rage against the dying
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: of the light. If the dying of the light is
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: the dying of the freedom's liberties and demonstrably better way
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: our country presents in forms of how a government should
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: be run and how it has been successfully run, then
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: we need to rage against the dying of the light,
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: which is the well elimination of it in favor of
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: communism or socialism or whatever kind of crap the Democrats
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: are trying to shove down our throats.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 3: Jack.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: My comment anyway, Jack addan you having becoming on my
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: program to your cancer surviving wife, God bless her. She
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: is your better half and I appreciate your acknowledgment on that.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: Love you brother. We'll talk again next Wednesday. Have a
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: great week seven thirty here if you have KSDY Talks stations,
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: it's that time of week we get to hear from
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: Americans for prosperity. Donovan O'Neill, you can find well. Today
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: Buckeye Blueprint dot Com are going to get an analysis
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: of halfway through the mid the legislative score session for
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: the year. Buckeye Blueprint agenda items, how far have our
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: elected officials and Columbus gone to achieve those objectives, well,
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: we need a scorecard for that, and thankfully Americans for
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: Prosperity has that. Donovan Neil, welcome back to the Morning show.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: My friend's always great hearing from.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 3: You, Brian.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 4: Always a good beginning to the middle of the week
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 4: for me.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I love what you're doing, and the
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: point being is engaging people and making it easy for
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: my listeners and other folks in the state about how
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: to try to improve our economic conditions among other things here.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: But by helping folks achieve the objectives through little steps,
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: maybe they can engage a little bit a whole lot.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: But you agrees the skids to do that. And if
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: you want to see what the agenda items are that
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: Buckeye that Americans for Prosperity is focusing on, go to
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: Buckeye blueprint dot com. And the statistics are still there
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: from twenty twenty three and not doing real well. We're
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: kind of in the middle of the road at least
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: in so far as economic freedom, the education opportunities, energy
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: abundance among the topics that you're pushing. So you do
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: a midway analysis and you're going to ultimately have a
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: complete scorecard. I guess that rolls out of the end
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: of the legislative session. You can rank members specifically and
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: give them letter grades. Yeah, this is our This is
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: actually our second scorecard. We released our first one at
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: the end of the last General Assembly. The legislature gets
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: together right every two years or over duration of two years,
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: and they do a lot of voting.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 5: They introduce a lot of bills. As a limited government conservative,
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 5: I don't like that.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: Most of us shouldn't like that.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 5: The politicians are in Columbus passing bills, passing laws. But
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 5: some of them, Brian, are good, and we actually learned.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 5: I think they're gonna they're up over I think seven
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 5: hundred I might be mistaken, but between the House and
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 5: the Senate certainly well over seven hundred pieces of introduced legislation.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 5: A lot of that doesn't a lot of that doesn't
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 5: go anywhere. But you know, we work on some really
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 5: key pieces of legislation that our activists, our supporters are
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 5: focused in on. And so this scorecard that we've released,
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 5: this mid session scorecard, sort of provides folks an opportunity
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 5: to assess the lay of the land. Halfway through the
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 5: legislative session, so we can figure out what's been accomplished,
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 5: but then also sort of set our sights on what
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 5: else needs to get done if we're going to make
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 5: Ohio a much more economically prosperous state.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, one of the items that I think
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of my listeners would like having done, given
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: that we may have a bout initiative on the ballot
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: to repeal all property taxes as a constitutional amendment. Is
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: AFP involved in any efforts to reform property taxes in
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: the state of Ohio. And I had to throw a
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: curveball at you, if to the extent that is, but
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: that's a real, real concern for a lot of my listeners.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 5: Well, one of the things we do, Brian Ries, especially
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 5: with our Buckeye Blueprint, for your listeners who haven't tuned
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 5: in before or caught this segment, we go out and
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 5: you know, this isn't a policy agenda that we create
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 5: in Washington, d C.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 4: At our national headquarters, or you know, even in.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 5: Our Columbus office where we just huddle in a room
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 5: and figure out what'll make a hole better. I actually
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 5: go out and we do a listening tour, and we
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 5: go and meet with all of our different grassroots communities
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 5: around the state and hear from them on the things
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 5: they think it's going to take to move Ohio to
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 5: number one in the nation in property taxes. As you
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 5: can imagine, we're identified early on this session and so
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 5: long roundabout way of getting to say yeah, our activists,
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 5: our grassroots communities told us this is something.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 4: We need to work on. And there are actually four bills.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 5: There's a number of additional bills, but four bills in
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 5: particular that to this point have been signed into law
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 5: to help put people back in control of the property
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 5: tax crisis that up until this point, right local elected
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 5: officials just thumbing their nose at the taxpayer. We've put
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 5: taxpayer back in control of some of that. More work
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 5: to be done, but I think headed in the right direction.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: Well headed in the right direction. I think fear of
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: the unknown, the idea that we could control our own
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: destiny by voting to repeal all property taxes. I think
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: it's got a lot of elected officials with the deer
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: in the headlights concerned. I mean that forces action Donald
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: Hill more than threats from you know, any organization or
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: political activists out there. If you see the writing on
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: the wall, like, oh my god, that's going to be
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: a colossal train wreck. We better do something ahead of
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: time to fix the problem. Tends to work it well.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 5: I think what it certainly has done is it's provided
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 5: a leverage point to get action done.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: Now, I'll say this.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 5: You know, in Columbus, when it comes to your state
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 5: income taxes, commercial activity tax, some of these other taxes,
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 5: over the years, we've moved from nine tax brackets down
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 5: to one. We've actually got the lowest in the Midwest,
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 5: the second lowest in the nation. But when was the
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 5: last time your school board, Brian announced that they were
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 5: going to that They've been fiscally responsible, they've made they've
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 5: made efficiencies, they're they're they're now able to give you
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 5: a tax break. They're gonna cut your taxes, Brian, When
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 5: was the last time you had a school board, city, council, village?
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 5: When have you heard of that ever happening?
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: Quote is quote from Executi producer Joe Strecker. It took
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: him about half a second quote uh, never close. Quote.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 5: And that's the I don't mean to laugh at it,
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 5: but that's the problem because even with this, even with
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 5: this sort of damocles hanging over local government's head around
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 5: the state, political subdivisions around the state.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 4: There's still some in their nose with the taxpayer.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 5: And I think you know, it's where we got to
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 5: continue to be vigilant and continue to work to rebalance
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 5: the rules of the game in favor of the taxpayer
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 5: rather than these political fiefdoms that exists, thirty nine hundred
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 5: of them, by the way, thirty nine hundred in the
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 5: state of Ohio, the sixth most in the country. Uh,
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 5: that's got a change, and that's part of our Modernizing
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 5: Ohio government U pillar within.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: Our blueprint modernizing holl Government, one of the four pillars.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about the others with Donovan Neil Americans for
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: Prosperity Again, if you want to see the specifics on
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: any of this and learn how to help out and
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: advance this very sound policy agenda. Buckeye Blueprint dot Com
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: pause ring Donald o'nil back. I want to mention covers
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: since he because I want you to save money and
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: have better medical The talk station seven fifty five KRCD
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: talk Station Happy Wednesday, Brian Thomas with donaldan' neil from
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: Americans for prosperity. We're focusing on the Buckeye Blueprint, which
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: you can find online at buff Buckeye Blueprint dot com
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: and figure out a way to help out. They've made
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: it very easy to do so help out in terms
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: of the upcoming legislative scorecard halfway through the one hundred
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: and thirty sixth General Assembly, and the four pillars that
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: the a Buckeye Blueprint deals with is economic freedom, modernizing
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: Ohio government, education, opportunity, and the all important energy abundance.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: They just talked about the effort to get towards zero
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: percent income tax maybe within the next decade, and there
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: are a few states out that have that. I guess
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: how do you reconcile zero percent income tax and no
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: property tax? We don't have to dive into that now, Donovan.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: Another complication. But moving over to modernizing Ohio government, we're
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: talking about burdensome layers of government. We all know that
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: there's more layers of government than need be. We could consolidate,
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: we could share services, and we could limit the amount
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: of money we spend a run government. That sounds like
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: a solid idea. Where are we on that? Where's the
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: scorecard show up? Halfway through Donovan.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 5: Well, part of the part of the challenge that will
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 5: The property tax crisis that we're seeing out there right,
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 5: I think is a symptom, not alone in that there
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 5: are a lot of folks think tanks and other organizations,
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 5: lawmakers who look at that and say, this is a
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 5: symptom of an underlying problem. The underlying problem is the
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 5: amount of government, especially overlapping governments that we have around
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 5: the state of Ohio thirty nine hundred political subdivisions, as
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 5: I mentioned in the last statement or that segment, Yeah,
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 5: sixth most in the nation.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 4: We're unique in how we do that.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 7: We love local government so much.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 4: We have the sixth most eummentation, right, Brian.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 5: We have to change that, and so there's not a
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 5: lot of active legislation to address that, although actually Representative
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 5: Jack Daniels from Northeast Ohio has a bill with a
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 5: handful of co sponsors to simplify.
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 4: Municipal income tax collection.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 5: So in Ohio you may have to file income taxes
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 5: with your city, your state, and the federal government. There's
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 5: a proposal to simplify and streamline a lot of that.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 5: But we're building the momentum for next session. I think Honestly,
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 5: the ability to impact that is going to take a
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 5: new governor who's got a bold vision, and we're working
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 5: right now to build policy coalitions to begin to address that.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: With all these political subdivisions, doesn't that require like relinquishing,
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: a voluntary relinquishment of control and authority in any given area.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, don't you have to be willing to do this?
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: Or is there a legislative fix, an edict from on
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: high that can eliminate these overlaying or overlapping political subdivisions.
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 5: Well, you know, this isn't a new problem either. You
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 5: go back to fifth about fifteen years ago, the first
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 5: Casic administration. This you know, coming out of the two
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 5: thousand and eight economic crisis, there was a lot of
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 5: effort and there was a lot of approach to a
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 5: voluntary way of doing this, right, giving local governments the
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 5: ability to consolidate share services. But you know they once
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 5: the economic conditions improved, they just kind of stopped doing that.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 5: And so maybe, you know, I think that's part of
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 5: the balancing act here, right, how much caret and how
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 5: much stick is needed to help provide relief to the
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 5: taxpayers in Ohio while also making sure our state is
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 5: economically competitive in the region, all.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: Right, fair enough, it's pivoting over to education opportunity. Big
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: fan of that. I am let families determine where their
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: children go to school. I believe the money should follow
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: the child. We've made some big steps here in the
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: state of Ohio toward that. Toward that end, we.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 5: Certainly have, and I think part of what part of
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 5: what we need to be able to go do now,
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 5: I think is really look at now that people have choice,
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 5: there's some competition, there's competition in the marketplace, buy and
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 5: large across the state of Ohio.
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 4: What do we do to actually improve the outcomes?
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 5: How do we especially in our public education sector, where
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 5: we're putting more money than ever before. Despite what the teachers'
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 5: unions will tell you, Brian, we've put more money in
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 5: education than ever before.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 4: Yet we're still getting.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 5: Horrible, horrible results, and we need to I think start
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 5: to look, you know, well not start to Folks are
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 5: taking a look at that and beginning to have conversations
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 5: for how do you actually sort of overcome that challenge.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 5: More money into the system doesn't equal better outcomes. I
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 5: think we need to be empowering the front lines of education,
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 5: the teachers, and ultimately it's about the families, the parents
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 5: having the tools and the resource, the knowledge that if
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 5: their kid's not succeeding in school, a knowing they have
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 5: options through programs like the ED Choice Voucher scholarship, to
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 5: take their kid to a school that's going to meet
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 5: that child's unique learning needs.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: Unique and they are truly unique. You know, some kids,
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: you know, flourish in a different form of education environment.
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: And why would you want to deprive children of the
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: ability to actually learn something? And let's not take children
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: out of class to engage in protests. Let's stick with reading, writing,
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: and arithmetic. If I may be so bold as to interject,
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: and then here's the key. And this is one of
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: the reasons I am really really a fan of Va
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: Ramaswamy his energy abundant strategy. You know, that's an open
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: for business sign. If Ohio had abundant, reliable energy of
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: all forms, including nuclear, I would argue that's an open
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: for business side in the state of Ohio. Look, your
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: power isn't going to go out. And oh, parenthetically, it's
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: also affordable, oh one hundred percent.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 5: You know, from manufacturing to small business to rape pay,
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 5: you know, lowly rate payers like you and I, Brian right,
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 5: just trying to keep keep our homes warm in the
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 5: winter and cool in the summer. Energy abundance is the key,
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 5: and I think I agree with the vager Amaswami as
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 5: he's traveled the state and talked about whether it's energy abundance,
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 5: housing policy, jobs, and opportunity. He's not looking at it
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 5: as a limited pie. He's looking at it as a
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 5: how do we grow the pie?
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 4: How do we put more?
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 5: How do we get abundance and use the you know,
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 5: basic principles of supply and demand to help bring down
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 5: costs and make life in Ohio more affordable with energy abundance.
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 5: We've done the work Housebell fifteen, did the the fu
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 5: you know, eliminated the final remnants of the House bol
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 5: six scandal, and put some real regulatory reform shot clock
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 5: times into place to make sure that the regulators are
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 5: doing their job. And when an energy project wants to
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 5: happen in Ohio, it doesn't just go into a black
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 5: hole around cap Square. But you know, now we've got
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 5: to see these projects happen. That's slowly but surely occurring.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 5: In fact, the President had a big announcement yesterday in
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 5: southern Ohio and the largest natural gas facilities should be
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 5: coming to PIKED and we'll doubles in the details that
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 5: we'll see where that all materializes. But folks are looking
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 5: to Ohio because of the bold work folks did early
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 5: legislators did early in the session last year to set
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 5: the right foundation for energy policy here in the state of.
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: Ohio going in the right direction. Maybe smaller steps than
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: I might want, but steps in the right direction or
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: are there. And that's thanks to Americans for a Prosperity
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: and all the listeners out there who've jumped on the
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: bandwagon and decided they were going to help out in
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: some small way or even big way. And thanks again
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: to AFP for doing that. Dinald and Neil, it's always
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: a pleasure for having you on the program. Keep up

  Speaker 1: welcome back, my friend. Pleasure to have you back on
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: the show.
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 3: Thank you. Brian's always good to be on with you.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: All right, It's a say I will tell you, I
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: think it's a sad thing that we even need a
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: Building Blocks for Liberty site. Because you're a five oh
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: one c three nonprofit. You are dedicated to well preservations
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: Constitution by teaching others the importance of this historical document
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: which doesn't apparently happen in schools anymore. Jim, is this
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: what prompted you to get on this, because you know,
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: you've dedicated so much of your time in resources to
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: training people and teaching people something that should be quite
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: literally a fundamental part of our education system. But sadly
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: they can't even teach reading or mathematics. And I think
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 1: I have to observe you need to be able to
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: read in order to read the Constitution.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 3: Duh, Yeah, that's true.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 13: Actually this started for me back in two thousand and
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 13: nine when I was attending a lot of liberty events
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 13: at that point and listening to people talk about the Constitution,
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 13: and I'm sitting going these guys are well intended, but
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 13: they really don't understand what it is. So that prompted
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 13: me to get started in it. And as I got
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 13: started in it, I got to get to the kids.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 13: That became the most important focal point for us is
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 13: trying to educate kids on this because generation coming up
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 13: that's gonna save our nation or not.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: Well, hopefully it will save our nation. I just we
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: take I just jim, I just have to observe maybe
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: state in the obvious. We just take so damn much
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 1: for granted in this country, just so much. I mean,
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: you know, I it's just so troubling. And I look
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: at New York City and Zoran Mamdami, the Communist and
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: you know, now they're going to raise property taxes another
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: ten percent on people that actually own money. They're driving
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 1: people who actually earn out of the state. Why we're
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: at wealth redistribution, which never works. Find me a country
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: where it's worked successfully over the years, and hasn't imploded
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: and collapsed upon itself. The idea of the European Union
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: won't even let you utter certain words. I mean, they
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: have speech police over there, quite literally. You know, we
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: at least have freedom of speech in this country, among
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: other freedoms and liberties that nobody else in the world enjoys,
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: and yet people are quick to want to eradicate and
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: eliminate them in the name of I don't know, controlling discourse.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: That is the worst possible road we can travel down.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 3: Jim, Yeah, you are exactly right.
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 13: We need to we need to bring back more manufacturing
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 13: into this country, become self sufficient again so that we
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 13: don't have to depend on other countries and get in
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 13: all this international mix up with them over free speech
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 13: and things that we here take for granted and we
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 13: still have here. But people are going to have to
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 13: start getting up and going out and you know, protests
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 13: in the other way to make sure we keep it well.
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: Protests is quite often predicated on an understanding of what
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 1: exactly you're protesting. I think that's reflected in a lot
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: of ignorance out on the street these days, with leftist
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: protesters protesting for seemingly unknown reasons. If you have a clear,
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: strong understanding of the Constitution, you at least know what
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: you're trying to protect. The freedoms and liberties that are
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 1: enshrined in and our liberties that are protected by the Constitution.
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: It takes knowledge to be able to do that successfully
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: when you're dealing with this crazy, screaming left wing lunatic.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: That's the point of the Institution boot camp, at least
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: one of them. You're doing another one coming up. I
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: know you are, Jim. This one's that I understand. Right
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: State University.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 13: Well, we've had a couple of misfortunes here. Our Right
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 13: State one, they want to postpone until April because they
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 13: don't have the people on board to promote it the
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 13: way they want to promote it.
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 3: This is a new Civics unit.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 13: That's getting started at Right State and they're tasked with
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 13: providing an alternative voice on campus, and so they wanted
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 13: to bring us in to provide that alternative voice on
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 13: some issues. And so we're going to be doing that
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 13: probably the first of April now and then our March
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 13: seventh one. The host is undergoing triple bypass surgery this week,
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 13: so we're going to put that one off for a
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 13: little while too, all right.
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 1: In prayers to him in a successful surgery. Of course,
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: we're all hopeful for that. So what you just frightened me?
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: You are the alternative voice constitutional scholar.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 13: So what it is we recognizes that the voice on
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 13: campus is not doesn't have any conservative elopment in it,
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 13: so they want to bring a conservative voice onto campus
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 13: so kids can hear both sides.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 3: Basically.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, I understand constitutional interpretation depends on who
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: the judge is, and there are different philosophy, you know,
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 1: the living, breathing constitution versus strict constructionists. But I mean,
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: if they're advocating for an alternative, are they suggesting that
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 1: the Constitution should be eliminated, eradicated, or otherwise replaced with something, Oh,
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 1: in their mind that's better. Jim.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 13: Most of the people we talked to, the leftists are
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 13: like the constitution. It's just like you know, you know,
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 13: the judge Charles Evans Hughes said back in nineteen oh seven, Yes,
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 13: we live under a constitution, but the constitution is what
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 13: the judges say it is.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: Or I know what the analysis is going to be
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: from judge at a Polton at the bottom of they
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: are or if you know, people just ignore it exactly,
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I'm going back to talking about
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: bombing iron. We're getting ready to bomb Run. Isn't that
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 1: an act of war they want to get in regime change?
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: Shouldn't Congress be involved in that? And yet this silence
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: seems to be deafening. You get your occasional note of criticism,
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: But I think both sides of the political ledger do
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: not like the obligation to actually, as the Constitution requires,
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: make a declaration of war. The will of the people
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: thereby is expressed by their representatives elected accordingly. They said it,
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: We're then going to do it. That is a nice
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: hurdle to a rogue imperial president who might just go
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 1: willingly putting this in conflict around the world and putting
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: lives in danger and jeopardy. But they don't push for
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: the interpretation. They don't hang their hat on the declaration
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: of war. They ignore it and twiddle their thumbs and off.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: Presidents of different political stripes go and do their own way.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: It happens across the board. And let's face, our government
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: is great about violating our Fourth Amendment rights regularly.
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 13: Yes, we are our what Fourth Amendment, I mean, we're recorded.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 13: You look at all all the automated license plate readers
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 13: out there, all these flock systems that are out there.
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 13: There's thousands and thousands just in southwest Ohio. I mean,
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 13: there's over sixty six thousand cameras in Ohio recording license plates.
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 13: And they also record the color, the make, the model
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 13: of your vehicle. And if they want to do facial recognition,
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 13: all they have to do is add the software.
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, and part of me struggles with that one,
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: because we don't have any inherent right to privacy the
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: things that go on out in outside in the world.
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 1: In our house, yes, of course, but you know, once
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: you're outside, you give up the right to privacy and
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 1: welcome to.
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 13: Orwell, if I'm in if I'm in my possession, which
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 13: is my vehicle, I have you know, under the Fourth Amendment,
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 13: I have the right to be feel safe and secure
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 13: in my you know, in my with my possessions in it.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 3: So I'm in my possession.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 13: And judges are starting to see that because in Virginia
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 13: they are allowing a case to go forward against a town,
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 13: a city, and flock systems.
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 3: Really out you know, laying forth Amendment rights. Huh.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 1: I'm very curious to see how that one shakes out, because, yeah,
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: I agree with you, what's in your car, they may
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 1: have to have a warrant to search your car unless
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: there's exigen circumstances. But outside of the car, I can
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 1: see it with my own eyes. So that's gonna be
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: an interesting challenge right there. It is very pivoting back
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: to the boot camp. This is an abbreviated class. When
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: you started out, wasn't this like a ten week class?
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 13: Yes, we started out doing one night a week for
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 13: ten weeks, and it ended up being like two and
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 13: a half hours each night. And then we had so
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 13: many folks say, hey, I can't do ten weeks. If
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 13: you can cram this all into one day, we'll come
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 13: And so we John Hendry and myself sat down and
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 13: crammed it all into one day and we had held
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 13: our first boot camp and we had like eighty people
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 13: show up.
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: That's beautiful.
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 13: And then and just you know, for the first couple
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 13: of years, I mean, we never had less than fifty
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 13: people show up for a class.
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 1: No, it was just an amazing Well that's the pent
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: up demand. That's I'm so happy to bring on letting
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 1: people know that this actually exists as a concept out there.
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: And I understand Jim Lewis from building Blocks for Liberty
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: dot org. You you'll do a presentation if you're invited,
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 1: like say, if a school wants to have you in,
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 1: or an organization, a church, whatever, you'll you'll show up
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 1: and do this this this presentation right, are.
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 3: Good to any ladies launchings. We don't care.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 13: We'll show up and we'll do whatever type of presentation
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 13: they want, however long they want. We can tailor our presentations.
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 13: You know, we had those liberty lessons and that's what
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 13: we use now. We just tailor those to what the
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 13: group wants and how much time they're giving us.
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 1: And it also comes along with materials that people will
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: be will have available to them including uh the uh
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 1: the the Constitution itself. You get a copy of that, yep.
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 13: Get presentation copy of what we what we talked about,
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 13: so you can take notes on it. Federalist paper try
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 13: to provide all kinds of nice things for people.
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: Federalist papers part of it as well.
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 3: That's the boot camp class.
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 13: Yes, if you come to the boot camp, you get
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 13: a handbook for We.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 3: The People, which is a textbook.
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 13: You get a copy of the Federalist papers of a
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 13: pocket Constitution, an American Liberty Primer, and a Citizenship primer,
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 13: and then you also get a copy of the presentation
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 13: and lunch.
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: Well, you mentioned citizenship, and I have to glom onto
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 1: that momentarily. If you become a legal, lawful resident of
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 1: the United States of America, this is exactly the type
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 1: of stuff you have to know and learn, right, should
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: be Yes, well, I thought I was part of the
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 1: citizenship requirements. You need to be able to pass basically
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 1: a fundamental civics test, which is more than it.
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 3: Is if you do it the right If you do
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 3: it the right way, it is.
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 13: But if Congress just comes out and passes along gives
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 13: your citizenship, you don't.
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 1: Well, right, but we would like to have people embrace, understand,
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 1: and you know, uh, you know, assimilate under the constitutional
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: principles that made our country so great. That's be critically important.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 1: We don't have that safeguard in place. You got a
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 1: bunch of people coming in from foreign lands where they
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 1: do not know anything but corruption, and they're inclined to
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 1: just go along their their merry ways. The way they
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: did it in their their their prior country of residents exactly.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 13: And you know, I understand you wanting to get out
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 13: of a country that's not very good back once you're
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 13: come in here making my country the same way. Assimilate,
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 13: become an American first and then whatever you wherever you
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 13: came from second. And that's you know, part of the
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 13: founder's vision too. Let people in that will add value.
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 13: You don't just let everybody in you're supposed to, you know,
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 13: vet people and letting people that are going to add
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 13: value to your country.
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: Jim Lewis spelling it out like it is. Building Blocks
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: Forliberty dot org. You'll have a regular list of of
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: of classes and there is a link there where people
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 1: can reach out to you to have you do a
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: presentation at their forum exactly.

  Speaker 1: page as well. Jim, can they reach out to YouTube?
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 7: Surely?
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 1: Can Jim at Building blocks Forroliberty dot org. Jim Lewis,
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 1: I'm from the bottom of my heart and I truly
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 1: mean this. I can't thank you enough for you know,
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 1: this concept and what you've been doing for hundreds and
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 1: hundreds of people over the years, making better citizens out
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 1: of all of us, and of course hammering home something
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 1: we take for granted too often in this country, the
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 1: freedoms and liberties enshrined in our constitution. Jim Lewis, thanks again,
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 1: my friend. I wish you all the success in the
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 1: world getting out the Kinksirron out of Wright State. But
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you are there, sadly as an alternative voice
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 1: to what's being presented on campus.
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 3: I'll take you anyway I can get it. Ran, I
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 3: know you well.
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 1: We're a month fifty five KRZ the talk station. Hey
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 1: twenty two if you've have KRCD talk station. Oh, what's
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 1: that the appropriate early time bumper music? That is the
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: fifty five kr see plague update theme song. Just had
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 1: a couple of minutes to get through here. Before we
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: do into something a little bit more complicated and complex,
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 1: why not let you know about the sexually transmitted fungal
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 1: infection outbreak that has hit Minnesota? Is it Minneapolis saying
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 1: Paul area specifically, Joe, do you think we're just Minnesota
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 1: at large? Anyway? Coming up, Judge Ennen to Paul Atano
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 1: on Liberty Without Strings, and then Keegan Corcoran and from
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 1: Rooda Winery and Spain Ilsey Ilza. He is going to
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: introduce his to Ilsa and some of the Rooda wines.
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: I'd love him and Keegan on the show. So he'll
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 1: be doing that next and giving us some great well
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 1: maybe wine bearings for your breakfast. But plague update. We
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 1: go to Minnesota, where health officials are now warning of
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 1: an outbreak of what is called a contagious fungal skin inflection.
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 1: I'll see if I can get through the name of
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 1: this trick a fight ton mena grove fight. He's genotype setan.
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 1: Got that for those taking notes at home, you can
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 1: know it's not number six. I think that was last
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: year TM seven. This is the same fungal species apparently
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 1: that causes ringworm symptoms, round, red, irritated rashes, the spread
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 1: across your entire body, itchy, painful. According to UH doctor
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 1: Hayden Andrews, an interviewed by Fox News TM seven, a
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 1: specific type of fungus that is part of a larger
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 1: family that causes the usually benign but irksome conditions like ringworm,
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 1: jockey itch, and athletes's foot, which is weird unless, like
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle, you're in defeat, Joe right, I'm just just
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 1: saying there's no flag for us.
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 3: Wait for that.
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 1: Symptoms closed similar to that of usual cases of ringworm
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 1: or jockey itch, depending on the part of the body
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 1: that has become infected. And notably, this is described as
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 1: a sexually transmitted diseases. To use your imagination round itches
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 1: that may have a rough appearance that could be mistaken
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 1: for exzema. First case of this confirmed in July of
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 1: last year in Minnesota court of Minnesota Apartment of Health.
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 1: First US case identified in New York in twenty twenty
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 1: four court to the CDC. Now it has confirmed it
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 1: is in multiple cities. Corter, Minnesota Apartment of Health and
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 1: the statement in response to several individuals seeking care and
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 1: providing information on other individuals that may also have been infected.
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 1: Their partners mbH established an enhanced surveillance system to identify
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: the cases. Now it's spread through direct skin to skin
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 1: contact with the fungus, including sexual activity. This, according to
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 1: the alert, fungal spores also spread via contaminated objects and surfaces,
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 1: sharing towels at the gym, which surely makes you want
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 1: to go to the gym, doesn't it? Maybe the equipment
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 1: at the gym, since that is literally a surface. Ye, man,
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 1: I had a tough enough time exercising anyway. Anyway, you
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 1: have been warned. I guess just day out of Minnesota
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 1: A twenty five right now, Joe Jenna Palaton awaiting the wings.
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 1: You with a lot of material to engage in your
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 1: thoughtful constitutional analysis.
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 11: Well, they're also providing me with a great deal of
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 11: frustrationing and this article will you know, I have to
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 11: keep it to under a thousand words, But this is
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 11: a treatise, Lenk. This almost reminds me of Bob Higgs's
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 11: book Crisis and Leviathan, in which he, going back to
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 11: the War of eighteen twelve, traces the expansion of government
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 11: power every time there's a crisis. This is the expansion
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 11: of government power based upon domestic crises. So, what started
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 11: out as a simple document that would allow the federal
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 11: government to look at voting records and Department of Motor
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 11: Vehicle Records to see if individuals had overstayed their visas.
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 11: Now has been transformed into a substitute for a warrant
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 11: that allows the federal government to demand of telecom and
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 11: internet service providers the records of people who have been
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 11: critical of ICE. Well, who the hell is the government
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 11: to go around investigating people who are critical of the government.
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 11: Being critical of the government is a fundamental, profound right,
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 11: expressly guaranteed in the First Amendment and absolutely vital for
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 11: a vibrant democracy. And people should not fear that they
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 11: will be investigated by ICE because they are Americans who
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 11: are critical of the government. That's what I attempted to
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 11: articulate in this piece.
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, boiled it down quite nicely there. You're on
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 1: in a summary statement, and I agree with you. I mean,
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 1: let's face it, folks like you and I we have
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 1: very deep seated held positions relative the thing's political and
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 1: if the government is looking into people and going after
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 1: them based upon their speech, you and I are in
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 1: the crosshairs just as much as any left wing nutjob
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 1: out there who is expousing left wing socialist speech or
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 1: Marxism or communism. You're allowed to do that. I mean,
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 1: you're allowed.
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 11: When the government investigates people for their exercise of free speech,
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 11: or prosecutes them, or attempts to prosecute them for their
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 11: exercise of free speech, like the DOJ attempting to indict
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 11: six members of Congress from making a truthful and accurate
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 11: statement about the law. They could have made an untruthful
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 11: and inaccurate statement about the law and it still would
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 11: have been protected, Like the prosecution of Don Lemon, Like
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 11: this effort to get the social media records of people
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 11: who've been critical of them. This constitute's chilling. This causes
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 11: people to have second thoughts about criticizing the government for
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 11: fear of the government will stick its nose into their business.
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 11: And chilling is as much prohibited by the First Amendment
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 11: as is.
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 1: Silencing, exactly. And it shouldn't be a question of whose
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 1: ox is being gored on whether or not you care
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 1: about speech being protected or the chilling effect that goes out.
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, all we need to do is observe what's
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 1: going on in the European Union these days. They are
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 1: imprisoning people for their speech. Do we want to go
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 1: down that road? Do we want to become the European Union.
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: We do have a first Amendment to thank God for it.
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 3: Look until the.
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 11: Cardinal Archbishop of London interceded, a lady was arrested and
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 11: prosecuted for reciting a rosary outside of an abortion clinic
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 11: in London. Eventually they threw it out so the prosecution stopped,
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 11: but they did arrest her and they did charge her.
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 11: This is the danger of the government putting its thumb
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 11: an example of the danger of the government putting its
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 11: thumb on the scale and punishing speech that it hates
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 11: and fears. Now they don't have a first amendment. They
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 11: have a long tradition which is longer than ours. We
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 11: have a first amendment. In my view, the telecom and
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 11: internet providers who received these administrative warrants from ICE demanding
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 11: the social media and telephonic records of people. Americans who've
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 11: been critical of ICE should have told ICE to go
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 11: take a hike you want it, get a search warrant,
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 11: or give us a subpoena from a grand jury. You're
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 11: not going to get a subpoena from a grand jurior
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 11: or search warrant because they provid they the premise for
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 11: both of those is evidence of criminal behavior. This is
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 11: not criminal behavior.
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 1: Right That therein lies the point. It's like your distinction,
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 1: and I know it's an accurate one, and sometimes people
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 1: need to get a grip with it. You know, entering
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 1: the country illegally, that is a crime, but staying, overstaying
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 1: your visa or welcome here is a civil problem, not
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: a criminal problem. So therefore it can't operate as a
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 1: predicate for a search warrant based upon probable cause of
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 1: a crime being committed. I mean that's been your position previously.
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 11: If you enter the country illegally, you have committed a crime.
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 11: If you enter legally and over stay, you are here illegally,
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 11: but it is not a crime, so it can't be
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 11: the basis of an arrest warrant. To Ice, there is
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 11: no distinction. Ice doesn't care about the statute. Ice just
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 11: cares about projecting the White House's power over a politically
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 11: impoinent group immigrants.
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 1: Do you find the silence from Congress deafening on this,
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 1: regardless of place?
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 8: I do.
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 6: I do.
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 3: It's very upsetting to me.
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 11: I hear more from my Democratic friends in New Jersey
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 11: than you do. I'm going to guess from your Republican
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 11: friends in Ohio. Why aren't they complaining about this? Could
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 11: you imagine a Barack Obama or Gavin newsomwre whoever's going
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 11: to succeed Trump. We're doing this the other way around.
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 11: The Republicans would be howling, but without stop.
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 1: Well, we were all howling.
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 14: You know.
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 1: I'm not a Republican, a little libertarian, thank you very much.
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 1: We were howling when the IRS was empowered to go
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 1: after concer servative organizations for their speech and deprive them
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 1: of their tax free status or otherwise deprive them of
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 1: even being able to operate using the banking system against
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 1: people because they had conservative businesses, firearms manufacturers, payday lenders.
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 1: We're going to deprive them of banking. That is another
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 1: nefarious element of government being used against the individuals here,
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 1: and I can't abide on any level. So that's why
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 1: we have you, Judge, editor Politano. Check out the column
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 1: comes out tonight, Liberty without Strings and also Judging Freedom
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 1: Judgenita Polatana's podcast. I recommend you check that out wherever
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. Who are your guests today, Judge
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 1: Enita Polatano, I have.
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 11: Glenn Dison, Aaron Mante the Great Professor Jeffrey Sachs and
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 11: Phil Giraldi tomorrow Colonel Douglas McGregor. I'm very fortunate to
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 11: have these high end people who draw huge audiences for me.
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 11: Sometimes I feel like I'm shoveling against the tide trickularly
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 11: with these ice pieces. Keep reading, but I'm gratified to
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 11: know that it's stirring the pot somewhere and.
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 1: Getting the intellectual constitutional juices flowing, which we all need
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 1: a healthy dose of. That's why I love having you
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 1: on Judge Napolitana until next week, my friend, best of health.
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 1: I'd love to you, sir.
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 11: My regards to Ingram, who I did not hear, and
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 11: my regards to Joe, whom I probably frustrated but life
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 11: goes on.
• 1:56:24

  Speaker 1: Right off the top. This guy is second from the
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 1: top tier sauniers in the world and he knows his wine.
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 1: And I have been so impressed with keegan skills and recommendation.
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 1: So this morning we are going to get some good
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 1: breakfast pairings from ils Rhode Wines. Let us start out
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 1: with the reserva. This is a twenty nineteen reserve and
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 1: if I was allowed to drink in studio, I would
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 1: think it's a glorious tasting wine. What type of wine
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 1: is this?
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 3: Is this a blend?
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 1: What type of grapes does it have in it? Just
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: a little bit of it, I tell you what. Ills
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 1: start out with Rhode Wine. Just give us a brief
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 1: background of the winery itself.
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 15: Yes, so it's a winery from Rioja from Spain. Rie
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 15: has one of the most prestigious wine regions in the world,
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 15: producing high quality wines and well known for aged wine.
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 15: And oak and the grape to star grape is their tempreneal.
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 15: So in this case, but I guess rod I was
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 15: founded in the late eighties. We are quite new because
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 15: quality wine has been produced in Riaha for more than years,
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 15: even though the wine has been there for centuries. But
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 15: like real quality one start start producing in one hundred
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 15: years ago, so we are kind of babies. But but
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 15: Gastroda is already very well known as one of the
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 15: premium wine producers in Rioha. So we work mostly with
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 15: temprenello and in this case Rhoda one, our wine, which
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 15: is Reservo, is one of our most iconic wines, coming
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 15: from very old vineyards. Only bush wines because those are
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 15: the kind of vineyards that gave the best quality grapes,
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 15: a beautiful one with really great balance between three to oak.
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 15: And obviously oak is there because ria high is famous
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 15: for oak. And in this case we use only French
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 15: chok because we love French shock, even though it's quite
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 15: unusual for Rioja wines.
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 1: French oak is unusual, yes in.
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 15: Rioha, because Riaha forever has been known for aging oak
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 15: in American oak. But since the beginning we decided to
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 15: use French joke because we like the style of the ones.
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 15: You can get out of it very I elegaint once,
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 15: very nice complexity, and the fruit is also showing off
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 15: really nicely.
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 1: See, you got to have that amazing palate. I personally
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 1: think to know the difference between French choake and American outcome. Sorry,
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 1: if you put him next to each other, I am
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 1: not the guy that's got to know you two are.
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 1: And I get that subtle differences mean an amazing amount
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 1: when it comes to wine tasting. So the types of
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 1: grapes in the reservo that you're speaking of, it's mostly
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 1: Tempernella because.
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 14: Tempernella, yeah, Tempornello, yeah, Timpernello Yeah. It's uh, it's my
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 14: favorite grape, you know. Oh wow, that's the grape and
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 14: the wine that I've felt made me fall in love
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 14: with wine, honestly kidding, yep, and specifically Rioha, and so
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 14: you know, I have been a fan of this winery
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 14: for many, many years, going back to the last time
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 14: I was in Rioja, which is about twenty eleven, and
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 14: the way that you know, we started talking, you know,
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 14: I looked to see if this was even available in market,
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 14: and it wasn't. I was like, hmm, I wonder if
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 14: I can sell these. It would be a real coupe
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 14: for me to get. So I sent the winery up
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 14: and Nilsa and some other people. I sent a picture
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 14: of me drinking their wine back in twenty eleven and say, hey, listen,
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 14: I've been a big fan for a very long time.
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 14: I believe in your wines. I would love to represent them.
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 14: So and now the relationship is born.
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, with regard to this Rioja the Rotter Reserve Rioha,
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 1: how many cases will you make annually with this one?
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 1: Because I know small production. He does a lot of
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 1: smaller production wines out in California. He'll find things out
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 1: in California, for example, in other areas of the world
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 1: where you just can't find it because they are limited production.
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 1: Wh'll get his hands on them.
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 15: So in so far as this one is concerned, So
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 15: we are rather small winery. We're not the smallest one,
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 15: but we are not also the biggest one. So total
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 15: production would be a half million bulls. Sorry, I don't
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 15: know how to convert in in American cases, but this
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 15: particular wine rather one which is our most iconic wine.
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 15: It's only one hundred and fifty boles.
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, little, but we export.
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 15: To seventy countries. We are in the best the restaurants
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 15: around the world. So we carefully, we very confrey choose
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 15: with whom we work, where we want the wine to be.
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 1: Seventy countries, one hundred fifty thousand botles of wine. I
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 1: think he can consider himself a very lucky man to
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 1: get a cut, to get your product that is rarefied. Eric,
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 1: Now let's be let's be honest. I would like to
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 1: know price points, and I understand price points on wine.
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 1: If I wanted to get my hands on this, what
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 1: would you say the average retail value is for this
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 1: particular wonderful bottle Keygan.
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 14: For rote A one, you're looking at about seventy five
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 14: to eighty dollars, okay, yeah, especially less than I thought
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 14: it would be well, and it certainly drinks well above
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 14: its price point. You know, I think you know it's
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 14: not lost on me that you know, seventy five dollars
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 14: is sometimes and many times in ask, you know, even
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 14: for myself. But at the same time, one of the
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 14: many things that Sprain Spain brings to the table is
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 14: bang for your buck and the value is there. You
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 14: get you're you're drinking a wine that if it was
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 14: in another part of the world, it would be easily
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 14: three times much of the price. So it's and it's
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 14: very flexible with food and and everything.
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 1: So okay, which brings me to the obvious question I
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 1: have to ask, since tariffs are all the rage these days,
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 1: are the Trumpe administration have the Spanish wines imported here
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 1: been impacted by tariffs?
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 3: Sure?
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, you know I had I had to
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 14: pay tariffs to bring the wines in, and you know,
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 14: it's a conversation that that we had honestly on the
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 14: way here, and that you know, it's something that it
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 14: everyone's kind of like trying to see like if it's
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 14: something that's going to be permanent or whatnot.
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 1: Exactly for uh, well, the court may determine that as
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 1: early as this week, so.
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 14: We'll find and hopefully so. And but as an importer myself,
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 14: you know that I have to bear the brunt of that.
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 14: And there's a lot of companies that you know, I
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 14: think the thought is is passing it on. But at
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 14: the same time, I'm a smaller a smaller importer, actually
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 14: very small and Uh, you know, it's it's not something
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 14: that it makes it more difficult, I'll say, for me
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 14: to stay competitive the market if I don't absorb those
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 14: costs myself rather than passing, because where I could just
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 14: increase the prices almost ar arbitrarily, it would kind of
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 14: take me out of contention for some of the other
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 14: bigger players in the market. So it's unfortunate, but hopefully
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 14: there's a solution that arrives soon, you know.
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 1: And fortunately my understanding, Ignition Ones is doing quite well.
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 1: And I'm so happy to hear that. I mean, come on,
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 1: you're still selling to Jeff Ruby group. Yeah, you know,
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 1: you were the songer there like Ruby for how long?
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 14: I was with them for about twenty years, and I
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 14: was in the corporate office for the last probably seven
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 14: or eight running all the beverage programs.
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 1: Right, you know that Frankly that speaks volumes and you
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 1: know who knows that now, Ilza, Yeah, what'd you say?
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 1: You were taking away a lasting positive impression in the
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati because you went to Rubies last night.
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 15: Yes, I'm taking only positive memories from Cincinnati. And yes,
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 15: we were crossing the bridge also yesterday, and and I
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 15: put on some nice music and we ended up in
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 15: Ruby's restaurants. So that's the vibe I'm taking from Cincinnati.
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 15: And now there's some really nice music in that style.
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 15: Actually that song yesterday it was Gadsby Style Ruby Jeff
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 15: Ruby Restaurants was.
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 1: Like all the elements aligned for you. You should see
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 1: the smile in her face. It's so obviously genuine. I'm
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 1: glad you had fun here and you're taking back fond memories. Also,
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 1: now moving over, what am I looking at here? That
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 1: was road I R O d A I reserve a
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 1: twenty nineteen and it's Rioha r I O j A.
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 1: You'll find it at Rubies I suspect, yes, absolutely, okay,
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 1: moving over to the Corimbo c O R I M
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 1: but bo reserve. This is a twenty eighteen Robera del Duero. Yeah,
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 1: did I say that right?
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 3: Got it?
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 1: Perfect?
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 3: I did?
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 7: Okay?
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 1: And what's this one?
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 15: So we not we do not only have winery in Rioja,
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 15: we also produce wine in Riberta Aldo. So those are
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 15: that's the.
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 14: Town worry, I'm sorry, like Bordeaux or exactly or Napa,
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 14: you know nap thanks even better A good So.
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 15: Those two are great wine regions for producing high quality
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 15: tempreneos entrepreneos, which is yeah, and that grape is actually
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 15: not very widely planted in other countries. Spain is actually
• 2:05:13
  Speaker 15: the best place to have this grab because it's made
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 15: meant to be for a specific climate. So Riohan and
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 15: Riberta Dalora the two big wine regions, and Spain for
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 15: producing high quality wines. It's the same grape, but the
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 15: climate is so different, the soils are so different that
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 15: the style of the wine it even seems that it's
• 2:05:31
  Speaker 15: different wine. So we just wanted to show two different landscapes,
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 15: two different climates, and some people can enjoy so normally
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 15: real have it be tempreneurs from from Rio have it'd
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 15: be more about elegance, and tempreneurs from Riberta de Aldor
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 15: it's more about the power, about the structure, bolder wines.
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 15: So just two very different phases of temporneos and.
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 1: You know we're able to drink the ybou KCC Morning
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 1: show studios. I think I probably would have described that
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 1: riberto del Duero as boulder. It's a not stronger isn't
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 1: necessary the word, But if I looked at the or
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 1: tried the Rioha, it's a milder. It's just it's so
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 1: smooth and brilliant going down. So but they're both fantastic
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 1: theoretically anyway, and moving over, let us talk about a
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 1: blanco you brought here, the Roadey Blanco, which of course
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 1: suggests as it is a white wine, also from Rioha,
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 1: this wine is what type of grape also.
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 15: So it's the first of all, very unique wine, very
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 15: small production. I can say you that of this particular vintage,
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 15: which is only the third windage, we were making a
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 15: very limited production. And of this particular intage, there's maybe
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 15: only two hundred bulls in the whole United States.
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 1: So two hundred. Well, okay, I've given up getting any
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 1: of this in my hands. Gotta go to Rubies for that,
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 1: or maybe I'm looking at the guy. Yes, I'm not
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 1: allowed to buy it from a wholestale distributor. Yeah, but
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 1: it's rule violation, right.
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 15: It's very special wine because it's coming from very old
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 15: via vinyards vires, a very typical white grape variety in
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 15: Spain also known as Macabello and other parts of Spain.
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 15: So very old vineyards with via a little bit of greenache.
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 15: White greenage and mavacia, and it's it has spent some
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 15: quite a time in aging, eighteen months in French UK
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 15: and eighteen months in balls. So very serious, one very
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 15: unique style, and people are actually blown away with the
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 15: style of the wine because they wouldn't in the blind testing.
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 15: They wouldn't be able to say where it's coming.
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 1: I'm sure.
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 15: So unique and it's super foody wine. You can have
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 15: it all kinds of food, even with a really good steak,
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 15: fair enough.
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 1: And when you're getting too this the tasting portion of
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 1: the Master, So a test, this would be a curveball
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 1: wine they might throw at one of the budding Master
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 1: Saumier Entrance, right, yeah, like wait a minute, what the
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 1: hell am I drinking here? But it's on the dry
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 1: err side. I mean say, it's really really dry at all.
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 1: But it's got a dry error at least in my
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 1: layman's perspective, dry.
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 15: Because in Spain we produce mostly dry wines. Okayoha, But yes,
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 15: it has this little sweet touch because att yeah, just
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 15: a little bit, because there's a lot of fruit in there.
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 15: Then it's been aged on the lease for a little
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 15: bit and there's this oakiness that makes the wine more velvety.
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 15: It's like a mix of a little bit of everything,
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 15: but yes, making this very unique style.
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 1: It is truly unique. And again, where are you able
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 1: to drink some? It would be fantastic stuff. Price point
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 1: on the on the bloco, you're looking about ninety dollars retail.
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 1: Oh really yeah? Okay, yeah, so you're up there with
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 1: like a Kissler price point yeah kind of Yeah. Kissler
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 1: is an awesome wine.
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I see even I knew that. Very good people too.
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 14: When I passed advanced, the owners of Kissler sent me
• 2:08:45
  Speaker 14: a custom ink pen that was engraved with my name
• 2:08:51
  Speaker 14: and everything and had like a custom enamel emblem on there.
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 14: I'm like, geez, It's like, okay, I guess I like
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 14: your wines even more now, thanks Kissler.
• 2:08:59
  Speaker 1: That's why they do that. Insiders call that chum, but
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 1: we all enjoy the chum. Every once in a while,
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 1: we need a Ignition wines challenge coin key and you.
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 3: Can get right on that.
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 1: Well, apparently you can get it at Rubies. Not to
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 1: continue to plug Rubies, but they do have a great
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 1: relationship Ignition Wines, Keeing and Corkor and Rubies. But I
• 2:09:15
  Speaker 1: think it's just a fundamentally excellent illustration of quality because
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 1: we all know you can count on superior quality at Rubies.
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 1: Say what you want, it's superior stuff. So this is
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 1: available there one of the very few places I guess
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 1: around you can get it. It has been a real
• 2:09:30
  Speaker 1: pleasure meeting you. I'm glad you're leaving with great impressions
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 1: of the greater Cincinnati area and we're pleased to have
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 1: you here and keep up the great work very quickly.
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 1: How long does it take to get a grapevine mature
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 1: to where you're actually harvesting from it? You talk about
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 1: older mines and newer ones. You've been around since what
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety or something, you say, so that seems to
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 1: be just a short window of go in terms of
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 1: getting something up and running the plant itself. How long
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 1: does that take?
• 2:09:57
  Speaker 15: I mean, it's really depends on the grabs you because
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 15: that's what we have been selling, like not necessarily always
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 15: very old vineyards will be the best because you have
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 15: to take a really good care of them. Sure so
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 15: in this case, as this family defunded the wine and
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 15: it was from Catalunias, so they didn't have it was
• 2:10:13
  Speaker 15: no typical family having grand grandparents doing these vineyards. So
• 2:10:17
  Speaker 15: we've been acquiring all of these vineyards a little bit little.
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 15: So we have vineyards that maybe are recently planted and
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 15: there may be ten years so okay, but we have
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 15: up to seventy eighty years old vineyards.
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 1: So you're not starting from scratch and putting plants in
• 2:10:31
  Speaker 1: the ground. You have others you can acquire. That's how
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 1: that's done. Rhoadeye Reserve, a Crimboi, a Crimbo Reserva, and
• 2:10:40
  Speaker 1: Rhodeye Blanco, the three we had here today. Enjoy some
• 2:10:43
  Speaker 1: with breakfast. If you can find it, you might be
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 1: able to get it through Ignition Wines if you're a
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 1: Holestale purchaser. Keegan Corcoran and Hills, it's been fantastic. Kevin.
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 1: You in you're closing out a program or a really
• 2:10:52
  Speaker 1: positive note. We'll do it again real soon tomorrow. The
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 1: Jay rattlif I heard be the aviation expert. Of course
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 1: we heard Jack added in this morning with big pictures,
• 2:11:00
