0:07
Speaker 1: Five o five at fifty five KRC, the talk station
0:13
Speaker 1: every Tuesday Tuesday.
0:18
Speaker 2: Some say, well, I'm the dude, man, I'm not.
0:31
Speaker 1: I am Brian Thomas, and I am barely Brian Thomas
0:33
Speaker 1: this morning. Thanks you today and Carol for covering for me. Yesterday.
0:36
Speaker 1: I was in, you know, really whacked out from the
0:38
Speaker 1: chemo treatments on Thursday and Friday. Again. I had a
0:41
Speaker 1: two day lag or a day lag anyway, started kicking
0:43
Speaker 1: in with the brain fog on Sunday and then yesterday. Wow,
0:47
Speaker 1: moving in stereo comes to mind very quickly, And of
0:50
Speaker 1: course I'm feeling pretty much the same way today. So
0:52
Speaker 1: all the help I can get, I'm up front acknowledging
0:55
Speaker 1: that five one, three, seven, nine fifty two to three
0:59
Speaker 1: talk pound five fifty on your AT and T phone.
1:01
Speaker 1: Breaking news this morning. It is Black History Month, and
1:04
Speaker 1: you've lost one of the more prominent members of well
1:07
Speaker 1: black political history anyway, driving Jesse Jackson passed away this morning.
1:11
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a minute. Anyhow, very influential man.
1:15
Speaker 3: He was.
1:16
Speaker 1: See here coming up. Tom Zawastowski seven thirty with Tom
1:19
Speaker 1: we the People Convention dot org. We are going to
1:21
Speaker 1: get a list of endorsed candidates for the primary number
1:24
Speaker 1: one on the lists, Viva Ramaswami. Some have a problem
1:29
Speaker 1: with that. Going back to the the Putsch interview the
1:37
Speaker 1: other day. Anyway, what is driving the anger at Viva Ramaswami.
1:42
Speaker 1: I am left to believe, based upon social media comments,
1:45
Speaker 1: that some people just don't like him because he's Hindu. Thankfully,
1:51
Speaker 1: we don't live in a theocracy. You can't make me
1:53
Speaker 1: believe any religion, you can't make me follow any religion,
1:55
Speaker 1: and of course there's no mechanism by which you can
1:58
Speaker 1: be forced to follow any religion, even though the Catholic
2:01
Speaker 1: Democrats on Capitol Hill are saying Ice is violating God's
2:06
Speaker 1: will with the deportation search. More on that in a minute.
2:10
Speaker 1: I will note and I just looked this up an
2:13
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence search, and you can either believe it or not.
2:17
Speaker 1: There are more than forty five thousand distinct Christian denominations
2:21
Speaker 1: and organizations around the world. Apparently there was about five
2:26
Speaker 1: hundred and eighteen hundred and nowther over forty five thousand
2:30
Speaker 1: distinct Christian dominations, which include certain groups Catholics, Protestants, Etheran, Orthodox,
2:37
Speaker 1: Oriental Orthodoxy, Anglican, and restorationists, beneath which there are multiple
2:42
Speaker 1: layers of various faiths. So which one are we supposed
2:45
Speaker 1: to follow? Democrats in Congress? Oh, that's right, we don't
2:48
Speaker 1: live in a theocracy anyway. I'm sorry. I had to
2:51
Speaker 1: get that out of my system because it was burning
2:52
Speaker 1: in the back of my head. Coming up this morning
2:55
Speaker 1: the Inside Scoop Right Bart News Deputy Politics Center after
2:58
Speaker 1: Tom Zawistowski will hear from Bradley Jay the latest on
3:01
Speaker 1: the Save Act. Looks like they may go to this filibuster,
3:04
Speaker 1: the speaking filibuster. It's going to be a mess. How
3:07
Speaker 1: long can they stand and talk? Now? In the past,
3:11
Speaker 1: those filibusters have involved reading entire phone books, cookbooks, recipes,
3:17
Speaker 1: lists that have nothing to do with the Save Act
3:20
Speaker 1: and nothing to do with a debate on the merits
3:22
Speaker 1: or lack thereof, of the Save Act. They just use
3:25
Speaker 1: time and use time and use time until I guess
3:27
Speaker 1: they collapse and give up. Now, Okay, mister Smith going
3:30
Speaker 1: to Washington. That was twenty three hours. If I recall
3:34
Speaker 1: the movie correctly, this is going to potentially go on
3:36
Speaker 1: for days, perhaps even weeks. Oh my god, this sentence
3:39
Speaker 1: business will be interrupted. How do you feel about that
3:41
Speaker 1: one anyway. Bradley Jay on that in a lot more
3:44
Speaker 1: eight thirty Daniel Davis deep dive lots of things going on,
3:48
Speaker 1: connecttions with Iron as well as the latest with Russia
3:50
Speaker 1: and Ukraine. Uh Zelensky is asking Congress to back security
3:56
Speaker 1: guarantees before a piece deal with Russia, saying the security
3:59
Speaker 1: guarantees much come before land concessions. Apparently that's the flip
4:03
Speaker 1: of what Donald Trump wants. He wants the negotiation over
4:05
Speaker 1: some land concessions to resolve the war, followed by some
4:08
Speaker 1: form of security agreement m Kremlin offering the halt airstrikes
4:16
Speaker 1: if Zelensky does allow a vote to go forward. Member
4:20
Speaker 1: elections have been suspended for quite some time in Ukraine,
4:24
Speaker 1: and apparently Iran has launched war drills and the horror
4:26
Speaker 1: moves strayed. This in advance of the Geneva talks, which
4:29
Speaker 1: are set to take place I think as early as today.
4:32
Speaker 1: So plus, Iran's economy is going down to the toilet.
4:35
Speaker 1: The inflation there is so outrageous, it's just it's hard
4:39
Speaker 1: to comprehend. Anyway. Daniel Davis on that let us see here, Yes,
4:43
Speaker 1: Reverend Jackson has died longtime civil rights acted activist, Baptist minister,
4:50
Speaker 1: and yes, he was a two time presidential candidate. And
4:53
Speaker 1: I remember when he was running for office. Cause of
4:56
Speaker 1: death not immediately given, although he apparently was receiving treatment
5:00
Speaker 1: for Parkinson's as early as twenty seventeen, is when he
5:03
Speaker 1: first revealed that Northwestern Medical or Medicine in Chicago was
5:07
Speaker 1: getting treatment for two years before even let the public
5:09
Speaker 1: know about that diagnosis. Born in Greenville, South Carolina, and
5:14
Speaker 1: he gained prominence by marching alongside Reverend Martin Luther King Junior.
5:21
Speaker 1: Eighty four and eighty eight. Of the years he ran
5:23
Speaker 1: for president, one more than eighteen percent of the primary
5:26
Speaker 1: vote and a handful of primaries and caucuses. In the
5:29
Speaker 1: eighty four race, Remember that was around the time I
5:32
Speaker 1: was working in downtown Cincinnati. I believe it was at
5:35
Speaker 1: the Domestic Relations Court, and frequented a lot of different
5:38
Speaker 1: black businesses down there, and I remember going into one
5:40
Speaker 1: and it was every single political cartoon that had Jesse
5:45
Speaker 1: Jackson in it. They were all just nailed up on
5:47
Speaker 1: the wall. They're very proud of the idea of Jesse
5:50
Speaker 1: Jackson running for president. And I remember the cries of
5:54
Speaker 1: you can win, Jesse, you can win. Fast forward to
5:58
Speaker 1: eighty eight. He won eleven primaries and caucuses. He let's
6:03
Speaker 1: see here, began his work as an organizer with the
6:07
Speaker 1: Congress over Racial Equality march ins and sit ins. Went
6:12
Speaker 1: to North Carolina at and T State University, graduated of
6:15
Speaker 1: his sociology degree. Rallied their students and support for King
6:19
Speaker 1: during his divinity studies at Chicago Theological Seminary, and was
6:24
Speaker 1: at the summit of Montgomery March in Alabama. Back in
6:26
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty five, the year my birth. That's hard to
6:29
Speaker 1: believe anyway, Jackson joined the Southern Christian Leadership Conference SCLC
6:36
Speaker 1: to work along side King full time after those college
6:40
Speaker 1: days at the Chicago Theological Seminary. Got a lot of
6:47
Speaker 1: praise from the Reverend King during that time see here.
6:52
Speaker 1: He was at the motel in Memphis, Tennessee, when King
6:54
Speaker 1: was assassinated in nineteen sixty eight. He founded then after
7:00
Speaker 1: that the People United to Save a Humanity Push in
7:04
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy one, resigning from the SCLC that year to
7:08
Speaker 1: start that push organization. Because he was suspended from the
7:11
Speaker 1: SCLC accused of using the SCLC for personal gain. No
7:18
Speaker 1: one would ever do that, would they? Joe use an
7:20
Speaker 1: organization for personal gain, personal advancement, advocating for the rights
7:24
Speaker 1: of black people down trodden, they are personal gain. I'm
7:27
Speaker 1: sure that never endto the equation with the Reverend. Sorry
7:30
Speaker 1: I shouldn't speak, well, I wasn't speaking, ilvm. I'm just recognizing, Yeah,
7:35
Speaker 1: that transcends political stride, parenthetically using organizations to achieve personal gain. Anyway,
7:41
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four presidential bid prompted the National Rainbow Coalition.
7:46
Speaker 1: You remember that he launched that in opposition to Ronald
7:50
Speaker 1: Reagan's policies advocating for social programs, voting rights. I gotta
7:56
Speaker 1: circle that and figure out what Reverend Jackson meant by
7:58
Speaker 1: voting rights back in nineteen eighty five four versus what
8:00
Speaker 1: the Democrats are advocating for these days anyway, also push
8:04
Speaker 1: for affirmative action. The Rainbow Coalition and Push merged, and
8:08
Speaker 1: they are now the Rainbow Push Coalition, been that way
8:12
Speaker 1: for some time.
8:15
Speaker 4: Now.
8:15
Speaker 1: I thought this was a rather rather comical review of history,
8:19
Speaker 1: go all the way back to nineteen eighty four, when
8:21
Speaker 1: the Democrats had some sense of moderation. Apparently his ideas
8:27
Speaker 1: were too left leaning, and the Democrats themselves believed he
8:30
Speaker 1: would hurt the party in the general election. Jackson dismissing
8:35
Speaker 1: the concerns and the great responsibility we have today is
8:38
Speaker 1: to put the poor and the near poor back on
8:42
Speaker 1: the front of the American agenda. This is a dangerous mission,
8:47
Speaker 1: and yet it's a necessary mission. Don't know what he
8:48
Speaker 1: meant by dangerous, but it's amazing how times have not changed.
8:53
Speaker 1: This is again nineteen eighty four. Apparently the poor and
9:01
Speaker 1: near poor still a major issue here in society. Didn't
9:07
Speaker 1: Jesus say the poor you will always have among you.
9:11
Speaker 1: I think it was something along those lines, going back
9:13
Speaker 1: to the forty five thousand distinct Christian denominations. Anyway, I
9:17
Speaker 1: believe that was scripture. Anyway, No, theologian Brian Thomas, you
9:23
Speaker 1: may recall nineteen eighty four, Jackson did run run into
9:26
Speaker 1: a bit of a problem which you know is still
9:27
Speaker 1: going on and swirling around today among many of the
9:29
Speaker 1: Democrat community. Jewish people he referred to as Heimi's h
9:35
Speaker 1: also refer to New York City as Heimie Town. That
9:39
Speaker 1: in a Washington Post interview. Now, he initially denied saying
9:43
Speaker 1: it and accused the Jewish people of targeting his campaign
9:46
Speaker 1: that then the whoops backpedal. Yeah, okay, nah, I did
9:51
Speaker 1: use the slur and I'm sorry. Here is my impassioned apology.
9:58
Speaker 1: Just bum because he got caught. When you're talking to
9:59
Speaker 1: the New York Post, I imagine you are on the
10:01
Speaker 1: record anyway. Now. You know, got to give him credit because,
10:06
Speaker 1: according to the record in his obituary, he helped with
10:10
Speaker 1: the release of several detaining capturing Americans around the world.
10:13
Speaker 1: Back in nineteen ninety ninety, negotiating the release of three
10:15
Speaker 1: US soldiers held in Yugoslavia, for which Bill Clinton ordered
10:20
Speaker 1: him the Presidential Presidential Medal of Freedom. Apparently also won
10:25
Speaker 1: the release of US Navy pilots back in nineteen eighty
10:27
Speaker 1: four from Syrian captors, at least sixteen Americans held in
10:31
Speaker 1: Cuba in nineteen eighty four, seven hundred women and children
10:34
Speaker 1: from Iraq in nineteen ninety two, Gambian Americans from prison
10:37
Speaker 1: in the West African country in twenty twelve. So negotiating
10:41
Speaker 1: hostage releases give them credit for that. Let us see here,
10:47
Speaker 1: so the late Reverend Jesse Jackson, may he rest in peace.
10:54
Speaker 1: Al Sharpton's on record too. I'll let you judge the
11:01
Speaker 1: relative merits of Al Sharpton versus Reverend Jesse Jackson five sixteen.
11:05
Speaker 1: Right now, did you have ker CD talk station? You
11:07
Speaker 1: got something you want to talk about? Please, Dear God,
11:09
Speaker 1: feel free to call me up. You're right back. Hey,
11:12
Speaker 1: it's Eddie here for PJ. Fitzpatrick. You want to treat
11:14
Speaker 1: yourself Back in nineteen forty eight, overnight forty six for
11:18
Speaker 1: the low slight chance of rain and on Thursday we
11:21
Speaker 1: have severe storms possible. I have sixty five though, I'll
11:25
Speaker 1: take that all day long. Right now, it's thirty six
11:27
Speaker 1: degree ifty five Karro CD talk station five twenty on
11:31
Speaker 1: a Tuesday five eight hundred and eight two three talk
11:37
Speaker 1: hunt by fifty on ANT and T phones again. Call
11:40
Speaker 1: it a desperate plea help me get through my brain
11:42
Speaker 1: fog this morning. Yeah, feel free to give me a
11:44
Speaker 1: call for something you want to talk about. Uh I noted?
11:47
Speaker 1: Remember remember Police Chief Fiji on administrative leave. Remember that,
11:51
Speaker 1: don't you? Yeah?
11:53
Speaker 3: What?
11:53
Speaker 1: Remember that had a little bit of a crime spree
11:56
Speaker 1: last year that forced the mayor and the city leadership
11:59
Speaker 1: to fessa to the reality. Yeah, I guess we do
12:01
Speaker 1: have a crime problem. In spite of the weeks and
12:03
Speaker 1: if not months of over and oh, repeating that you
12:06
Speaker 1: can't believe your own eyes, nub, we have no crime problem.
12:09
Speaker 1: We of course had Sarah Herringer's husband stabbed in their
12:13
Speaker 1: over the Rye home. Remember the beat down. You can't
12:15
Speaker 1: forget Holly getting cole cocked in the face, among others
12:19
Speaker 1: involved in that particular incident. And of course they had
12:22
Speaker 1: to do something. So what are they to do. They
12:23
Speaker 1: try to negotiate for Police Chief threes of Thiji to resign.
12:27
Speaker 1: She refused, so they put her on a paid administrative leave.
12:32
Speaker 1: Why I think, as we've learned, police Chief Thiji doesn't
12:37
Speaker 1: have a tremendously necessary amount of control over what the
12:39
Speaker 1: police department does by way of its actions. It seems
12:41
Speaker 1: to rest and share them along's lap, maybe by extension
12:47
Speaker 1: Iris Rawley community activists don't know anyway, So as I'm
12:52
Speaker 1: taking a look at the crime over the past, we
12:54
Speaker 1: had one dead this morning, most recent shooting, of course,
13:00
Speaker 1: a tragedy on the heels of multiple shootings in and
13:03
Speaker 1: around downtown since seventy one o'clock this morning. Poplar Street
13:06
Speaker 1: woman hospitalized after a shooting. We got two dead and
13:09
Speaker 1: two hospitalized after a shooting near North Side Bar that
13:12
Speaker 1: happened Sunday morning. One dead, one injured after a party
13:17
Speaker 1: bus shooting in downtown that happened on two hundred block
13:19
Speaker 1: East third Street early Saturday morning about twelve thirty in
13:25
Speaker 1: the morning. North Avenue we had a shooting early Saturday
13:28
Speaker 1: morning as well, seven hundred block of Greenwood Avenue about
13:30
Speaker 1: five twenty in the morning. I appreciate, Joe Strecker you're
13:33
Speaker 1: reminding me and so I can pass it along to
13:36
Speaker 1: the listening audience. How overwhelmingly that they voted for AFTAB
13:39
Speaker 1: provo on the current administration, most eighty five one percent
13:43
Speaker 1: neighborhoods going for the status going downtown Cincinnati. So where
13:47
Speaker 1: is that investigation going? Anybody find out anything? Apparently not?
13:50
Speaker 1: Scott Wartman, thank you from the enquire for letting us know.
13:53
Speaker 1: They won't say and they do not know what's going
13:55
Speaker 1: on now the deadline's looming. The relationship they have with
13:59
Speaker 1: former Frost Brown Todd, it's FBT Gibbons Law firm that
14:02
Speaker 1: has been hired to investigate, well, I suppose, and it
14:06
Speaker 1: always seemed to me that they were trying to recreate
14:08
Speaker 1: a motive or a reason or justification to place Thig
14:13
Speaker 1: on administrative leave, apparently digging into background information for looking
14:17
Speaker 1: for a reason and perhaps fire her. I don't know,
14:20
Speaker 1: but because everyone was going, why in the hell police
14:23
Speaker 1: chief DG praised on administrative leave when they didn't say
14:26
Speaker 1: she did anything to justify it, Well, let's hire FBT
14:30
Speaker 1: Gibbons a finer reason. Visically at work they are There
14:34
Speaker 1: was a deadline at the end of the year for
14:36
Speaker 1: the firm's retention that was extended now until the end
14:39
Speaker 1: of this month. As Workman reports, if any resolution is
14:44
Speaker 1: in sight, no one with the city or Thig is saying.
14:52
Speaker 3: So.
14:52
Speaker 1: They hired FBT Gibbons last October to conduct an investigation
14:56
Speaker 1: into her performance.
15:00
Speaker 3: So.
15:02
Speaker 1: It is not known right now if anything has been
15:06
Speaker 1: uncovered during the investigation. Enquire asked through a public records
15:11
Speaker 1: request last month any report submitted to the city from
15:16
Speaker 1: any law firms retained by the city to investigate police
15:19
Speaker 1: chief three Stahigi. The city administration said nothing exists, So
15:23
Speaker 1: apparently no communications between FBT Gibbons and the City of Cincinnati.
15:27
Speaker 1: If you want to believe that I have a bridge,
15:29
Speaker 1: I want to sell you en what reached out all
15:34
Speaker 1: the city leaders. Hey, what do you got to say
15:36
Speaker 1: about this? Pervoll? I love this. Parvoll referred questions to
15:39
Speaker 1: Cheryl Long. Cheryl Long spokeswoman moy Lair declined to comment,
15:44
Speaker 1: saying there's no update. She wouldn't say whether the contract
15:48
Speaker 1: with FBT Gibbons would be extended or whether a finding
15:51
Speaker 1: in the investigation would be reached soon. Again, TikTok, TikTok.
15:55
Speaker 1: Deadline the end of the month. So they reached out
15:57
Speaker 1: to FBT Gibbons clin comment. Well, what about Police Chiefdiji's
16:03
Speaker 1: attorney Steve m No comment. How about Vice Mayor Jean
16:11
Speaker 1: Michelle Levan Kearny, she has something to say about this, right? Nope,
16:16
Speaker 1: no comment now, they say. Of the nine council members,
16:20
Speaker 1: Seth Walls, Jeff Camerton and Mark Jefferies offered some form
16:23
Speaker 1: of comment. Waals, While I understand curiosity what's happening behind
16:28
Speaker 1: the scenes, I believe patience is necessary until the investigation
16:31
Speaker 1: is closed. Not much there there. Mark Jefferies, he doesn't
16:35
Speaker 1: know where the investigation stands. He said he's hoping to
16:37
Speaker 1: get more information from the city administration this month. Yeah.
16:42
Speaker 1: Jeff Camerdon deferred comments to the city's lawyers, saying litigation
16:46
Speaker 1: was possible. When it comes to situations like this, you
16:49
Speaker 1: need to defer to the law department. Duck dip, dodge,
16:53
Speaker 1: dive and duck or dodge dip, duck, dive and dodge.
16:57
Speaker 4: Right.
16:57
Speaker 1: The five d's a dodgeball which I can't even get right.
17:00
Speaker 1: This morning, moving in stereo local stories and we can
17:04
Speaker 1: talk about all the murders and gun play in downtown Cincinnati,
17:07
Speaker 1: or you can call five one three seven nine fifty
17:11
Speaker 1: eight hundred eight two three talky right back fifty five
17:13
Speaker 1: KRC dot com. This month, iHeartRadio. We see one. Thanks
17:17
Speaker 1: agin to Dan Carroll for covering for me yesterday. Probably
17:21
Speaker 1: should be in here today, to be quite candid with you,
17:23
Speaker 1: and I hate to keep saying that thought, I do
17:25
Speaker 1: have to let you know why the hell it is
17:27
Speaker 1: that I'm just not feeling one hundred percent today. So
17:29
Speaker 1: with that further ado, let's go to the phones and
17:31
Speaker 1: thank God for Tom's phone call rescuing me from myself. Tom,
17:34
Speaker 1: welcome back, my friend, Happy Tuesday.
17:37
Speaker 5: Good morning, and uh yeah, keep keep up toughing it out.
17:42
Speaker 5: Hang in there, buddy, time in.
17:43
Speaker 4: I know it's rough, it's I haven't had.
17:45
Speaker 5: To do it. Yeah, but as we it is. Yeah,
17:49
Speaker 5: I understand from from an observational stands one, I understand.
17:53
Speaker 5: I have to throw that caveat in there, because I
17:56
Speaker 5: don't ever want to make it sound like that. I've
17:58
Speaker 5: been through cancer treatment as you. As I've told you,
18:01
Speaker 5: my my beloved wife has witnessed at birthand so I
18:06
Speaker 5: I get it.
18:07
Speaker 1: You get the struggle. Yeah, yeah, and I just get it.
18:10
Speaker 1: I'm not looking for like for I asked for sympathy
18:12
Speaker 1: or anything for assistance.
18:16
Speaker 5: Little little understanding, little anyway, you're you're you're Yeah. Is
18:23
Speaker 5: there any surprise about this stuff from from the city
18:26
Speaker 5: at Cincinnati, the council and all that. I mean, no,
18:28
Speaker 5: one's really shocked. The only the only question is going
18:31
Speaker 5: to be is, uh, how much the people that are
18:34
Speaker 5: asking the questions still? How long are they going to
18:37
Speaker 5: keep asking questions or or a Cincinnati council or whoever,
18:42
Speaker 5: just hoping this thing goes away by itself and we
18:44
Speaker 5: all just ignore it. That's the important thing is we
18:47
Speaker 5: can't just ignore stuff like this one they pull this crap.
18:50
Speaker 5: We can't just uh we you know what. I'm tired
18:53
Speaker 5: of asking about it now. We've got to keep asking
18:55
Speaker 5: about it and keep bringing it up, and you keep
18:59
Speaker 5: this out in the four in front of people's minds
19:01
Speaker 5: that this is the this is the police chief. I mean,
19:04
Speaker 5: this isn't like some random person occupying a back office
19:08
Speaker 5: that kept put on administrative leave. This is the chief
19:11
Speaker 5: of police of a major city. So it's kind of
19:14
Speaker 5: a big deal. So it should be treated as it's
19:17
Speaker 5: a big deal and not you know, just let it,
19:20
Speaker 5: you know, let it go away, like like Faulk just
19:22
Speaker 5: eventually dissipates, we should just let this go away. Keep
19:26
Speaker 5: asking about it. So kudos to the people from the
19:29
Speaker 5: choir or whoever's asking these questions to bring it up,
19:33
Speaker 5: because they got to answer for what they're doing.
19:35
Speaker 4: Well, I have to.
19:36
Speaker 1: It can't go away at this point. They placed our
19:38
Speaker 1: an administrative leave without any specific reason being articulated. They
19:43
Speaker 1: hired an outside law firm to investigate it. They extended
19:46
Speaker 1: the law firm's contract to continue investigated for additional two months.
19:50
Speaker 1: So what have they been out it. It'll be a
19:51
Speaker 1: total of four maybe four plus months total. We've got
19:55
Speaker 1: nothing back, and that's fine. I'm not necessarily expecting an
19:59
Speaker 1: interim or word from the law firm. But how long
20:02
Speaker 1: does it take it to go through her background and
20:04
Speaker 1: her records to find some reason to justify being placed
20:08
Speaker 1: on administrative leave. You would think that wouldn't take too longer,
20:10
Speaker 1: that they had a reason up front to put her
20:12
Speaker 1: on administrative leave. But no, apparently not. We're just left
20:16
Speaker 1: with a bunch of swirling questions and no answer. So TikTok, TikTok.
20:20
Speaker 1: But this is going to have to be addressed. They
20:22
Speaker 1: are going to have to come out at some point
20:24
Speaker 1: and definitively state well, FBT Gibbons didn't find anything, or
20:29
Speaker 1: they gave her a clean bill of health, or look,
20:30
Speaker 1: here's all these reasons why she should have been placed
20:33
Speaker 1: on administrative leave, none of which apparently were known to
20:35
Speaker 1: the city manager and the mayor at the time.
20:38
Speaker 5: Right or when they should have done some kind of
20:42
Speaker 5: background check before they even hired her.
20:44
Speaker 1: Oh, I think her record shit, I mean, she has
20:47
Speaker 1: a thirty year record with this insame police department. I
20:49
Speaker 1: doubt she ever would have been elevated to police chief
20:51
Speaker 1: if she had bad things in her record.
20:55
Speaker 3: Right.
20:55
Speaker 5: Also, all this goes to there's really only one reason
20:59
Speaker 5: that they're doing this, and this to try to cover
21:01
Speaker 5: their bus. She's a scapegoat, that's really it. So they
21:04
Speaker 5: were running the show, they were telling her what to do,
21:06
Speaker 5: and when things went sideways for him, and they couldn't
21:09
Speaker 5: keep pretending that there was no problem anymore. We need
21:13
Speaker 5: somebody to throw under the bus.
21:14
Speaker 1: We've got to do something. We've got to do something
21:17
Speaker 1: to protect our phony blowney jobs. Right, Okay, we're going
21:19
Speaker 1: to hold up police Chief DJ as the sacrificial lamb,
21:22
Speaker 1: notwithstanding to the fact that it wasn't her. At least
21:25
Speaker 1: that's the way it appears.
21:27
Speaker 5: That's the way it appears.
21:28
Speaker 6: That's that's the way it looks.
21:29
Speaker 5: And you know, if you're not going to come out
21:31
Speaker 5: and give us anything a substance, what else do you
21:33
Speaker 5: expect us to go by?
21:34
Speaker 3: Yeah?
21:34
Speaker 5: So all that, all that together means vote Democrat.
21:39
Speaker 1: A great You can get a bunch of no comments. Hey,
21:42
Speaker 1: talk to them, they say, no, talk to her, talk
21:45
Speaker 1: to her, no, talk to him anyway. The five d's
21:48
Speaker 1: of dodgeball again. Anyway. The most recent shooting this morning,
21:52
Speaker 1: us go to the West End. Woman hospitalized after his
21:54

22:15

Speaker 1: have one anyway, and yeah, strong would consider give me
23:40
Speaker 1: a call this morning five one, three, seven fifty five
23:42
Speaker 1: hundred eighty two to three talk. A special shout out
23:46
Speaker 1: to doctor j Rissover. What a kind man he knows
23:49
Speaker 1: I was dealing with these cancer treatments. He brought over
23:51
Speaker 1: homemade chicken soup special delivery yesterday and he said a
23:56
Speaker 1: Jewish prayer while making it and while packaging it. I
23:59
Speaker 1: thought that was such a beautiful gesture. Just just a
24:03
Speaker 1: beautiful judt and so many people have been so kind
24:06
Speaker 1: and it's just a glorious thing to behold. French friendship.
24:10
Speaker 1: Never never underrate the value of friendship when you're feeling down. Anyhow,
24:15
Speaker 1: back over the we got a local story in the stack.
24:17
Speaker 1: Is stupid here my friend's up in Hamilton. Maybe you
24:21
Speaker 1: encountered this guy. Police are searching for a suspect who
24:24
Speaker 1: allegedly exposed himself multiple times in Hamilton. Happened on Saturday morning.
24:28
Speaker 1: Officers had three separate reports of indecent exposure west side
24:32
Speaker 1: of Hamilton between twelve am and three am. Hamilton Police Department.
24:36
Speaker 1: I don't think we'll ever find out. Hamilon Police Department
24:40
Speaker 1: said the incidents occurred in the four and the block
24:42
Speaker 1: of Sherman Avenue, the one hundred block of North f Street,
24:44
Speaker 1: and the three and a block of North C Street.
24:46
Speaker 1: In each incident, the police said, the suspect exposed himself and,
24:50
Speaker 1: in their words, engaged in lewd conduct. Yeah. I think
24:55
Speaker 1: we can all readily quickly figure out what that meant.
25:00
Speaker 1: In front of North in front of residence there. During
25:01
Speaker 1: the incident of North C Street, police said the suspect
25:04
Speaker 1: entered a home through an unlocked window before being confronted
25:08
Speaker 1: by a resident. A resident apparently was not armed. You know,
25:10
Speaker 1: we have the Castle doctor and you could die doing that.
25:13
Speaker 1: Don't go into people's homes in the middle of the
25:15
Speaker 1: night naked and pleasuring yourself. Okay. Suspect apparently took off
25:20
Speaker 1: before the police showed up. Police said they'd deployed a
25:23
Speaker 1: drone in an effort to locate the suspect. Also, a
25:25
Speaker 1: police canine was sent out, not being found, though Hamilton
25:30
Speaker 1: Police Department is offering a five hundred dollars reward for
25:33
Speaker 1: information leading to the rest of the suspect. If you
25:35
Speaker 1: have any information, Hamilton Police Investigation Section needs to hear
25:38
Speaker 1: from you. Who is this guy? Five one three eight
25:41
Speaker 1: six eight fifty one hundred Extension two thousand and two
25:45
Speaker 1: five one three eight six eight fifty one hundred. Wow,
25:51
Speaker 1: before you get over to other stackers to but let's
25:53
Speaker 1: see what Hanks Scott, thank you, Hanks, thank you so
25:55
Speaker 1: much for calling this morning. It's great to hear from you, sir.
26:00
Speaker 7: Morning and gazoo height to you. And as far as
26:02
Speaker 7: your performance this morning, I'd like to remind you way
26:05
Speaker 7: back when when Rush Limbaugh announced that he had been
26:09
Speaker 7: getting treatment for drug abuse.
26:12
Speaker 1: Yeah.
26:12
Speaker 7: One of my thoughts on the subject was, I've been
26:15
Speaker 7: listening to you the whole time, and you still made
26:18
Speaker 7: more sense than one hundred Democrats put together. So don't
26:23
Speaker 7: feel too bad about you.
26:25
Speaker 1: Help me quick to point out, though that's a low bar.
26:28
Speaker 1: I appreciate the compliment. I just it's easy to sound
26:33
Speaker 1: smart when you're talking against that crew.
26:36
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, but in any case, a lot of times
26:39
Speaker 7: you discuss things that require a little more intellect and
26:42
Speaker 7: Democrats and you're still doing a pretty good job from
26:46
Speaker 7: what I can tell. I mean, you know, you butter
26:48
Speaker 7: your words up a little here and there, but for
26:50
Speaker 7: the most part, you're doing a damn good job.
26:52
Speaker 1: Don't feel too bad, thanks, man.
26:54
Speaker 7: You've got apparently you've got enough metal reserve.
26:56
Speaker 1: To cover it. It's just the swirling weirdness that's going
27:01
Speaker 1: on in my brain that's released I struggle with. I
27:03
Speaker 1: don't know how it translates to verbal communication, but if
27:07
Speaker 1: I'm just sitting here, it's really weird. It feels like
27:10
Speaker 1: I'm dizzy and swirling, and that is exactly how I
27:14
Speaker 1: felt the last time I got the treatment. So apparently
27:16
Speaker 1: this is what I have facing me for the next
27:18
Speaker 1: four rounds of treatments. I'll be done in June, and
27:20
Speaker 1: it'll be it'll all be over. I'm just gonna have
27:22
Speaker 1: to guess take Mondays and Tuesdays off after the treatment.
27:24
Speaker 1: But we'll cross that bridge we get to it, Hank.
27:26
Speaker 1: But I think very I truly appreciate the kind words.
27:29
Speaker 1: I really do well.
27:31
Speaker 7: In any case, the reason I called was I wanted
27:33
Speaker 7: to see if anybody else remembered back when Jesse Jackson
27:37
Speaker 7: got in trouble with one of the organizations he was
27:40
Speaker 7: in because he was using organization funds to pay for
27:45
Speaker 7: a baby mama, an illegitimate child.
27:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe that was the reference for accusing for him
27:51
Speaker 1: being accused of using the Southern Christian Leadership Conference SCLC
27:58
Speaker 1: for personal gain, the words that the the obituary from
28:02
Speaker 1: the New York Times or yeah, New York Posts had
28:06
Speaker 1: for it. So I didn't remember specifically what personal gain,
28:09
Speaker 1: But yeah, I do vaguely recall that that rumor swirling around.
28:14
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that was actually during the Rainbow Push
28:17
Speaker 7: era too, But I could be wrong. Mister Struker might
28:20
Speaker 7: be able to find that better than I would. Yeah,
28:22
Speaker 7: but the other thing about that is is do you
28:25
Speaker 7: think he'll still be voting Democrat in the next election?
28:32
Speaker 1: Well, wait and see. Let's see how quick this is.
28:36
Speaker 1: The Security administration marks and as deceased. All right, may
28:40
Speaker 1: he rest in peace. I don't want to disparage the man.
28:42
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously we could be critics of Reverend Jesse
28:44
Speaker 1: Jackson and some of the politics he engaged in and
28:46
Speaker 1: some of his actions over the years, but you cannot
28:49
Speaker 1: deny he was very, very influential within the well Black
28:55
Speaker 1: community as well as in politics generally speaking. So everybody
28:59
Speaker 1: knows who he is and who he was, and as
29:01
Speaker 1: of this morning, he is no longer with us. Thank
29:04
Speaker 1: you so much for the call, and get in touch
29:06
Speaker 1: with fast and pro roofing the best talk station five
29:11
Speaker 1: fifty one and fifty five. Care see the talk station
29:13
Speaker 1: Happy Tuesday, trying to make it so anyway, and feel
29:15
Speaker 1: free to give me a call five one three seven
29:18
Speaker 1: two three talk found five fifty on your AT and
29:21
Speaker 1: T phone. Oh look, another transgender murderer. Is this a trend?
29:25
Speaker 1: It's just me? Do we have like a growing number
29:29
Speaker 1: of transgender people murdering people? Anyway? Before I get to that,
29:33
Speaker 1: let's see what cribbage Mike has got this morning, my
29:34
Speaker 1: submarine or friend, thanks for calling me this morning. I
29:37
Speaker 1: truly appreciate hearing from you. Brother.
29:39
Speaker 8: Good morning, Brian, and continue prayers to you and Joe's
29:42
Speaker 8: father as well.
29:43
Speaker 1: Amen to the Yes. Absolutely please continue prayers for Joe
29:46
Speaker 1: Jrekker's father. Thank you.
29:48
Speaker 8: So it's I'm glad to hear you're going to have
29:50
Speaker 8: a guest to talk about the Save Act. It's just
29:54
Speaker 8: I got to stand back and just laugh at the
29:56
Speaker 8: way they try and defend this. Now it seems like
30:00
Speaker 8: most of them now because the women numbers that they
30:02
Speaker 8: don't pull that well with Trump. So now we're shifting
30:05
Speaker 8: it from the minorities. How it's going to disenfranchise to
30:08
Speaker 8: the women. Although Chucky Schumer must not have got the message,
30:11
Speaker 8: because of course he was out there last week and
30:13
Speaker 8: saying that that say back was Jim Crow two point zero.
30:16
Speaker 8: But excuse me, mister Schumer. You said that the Georgia
30:19
Speaker 8: Laws was Jim Crow two point zero, So I guess
30:22
Speaker 8: the Fayvac should actually be Jim Pro three point zero
30:25
Speaker 8: if it was anything at all, which of course it's not.
30:27
Speaker 1: And of course he didn't turn out real well, labeling
30:29
Speaker 1: the Georgia law Jim Crow two point zero, since more
30:32
Speaker 1: black people showed up and voted after the law took
30:35
Speaker 1: a fact then before the law was in effect. So
30:37
Speaker 1: I guess didn't work out real well for him.
30:40
Speaker 8: Broke records. And you know the requirements now and with
30:45
Speaker 8: the women, because now they think that the women are
30:47
Speaker 8: too dumb enough. Yeah, that after they get married or
30:50
Speaker 8: get divorced and remarried, that they can't do it. This
30:52
Speaker 8: is no different than what was requirements on the real idea.
30:57
Speaker 8: And this is not a disparaging comment. It's just what
31:00
Speaker 8: we use in the classified material. It's called a chain
31:02
Speaker 8: of custody. Okay, and it's the same thing here. Yes,
31:07
Speaker 8: your birth certificate. If I go in with my lovely bride,
31:10
Speaker 8: it won't match. But if she has another document that
31:13
Speaker 8: proves that she was married before, Okay, I got that.
31:16
Speaker 8: I got chain of custody. Here's your real ID, missus
31:18
Speaker 8: wolver Yeah, okay, it's no different than that. Smart they
31:22
Speaker 8: can do that.
31:23
Speaker 1: Once you have a real ID, which you really need
31:26
Speaker 1: in order to travel inefficiently, then you're set. There's your
31:30
Speaker 1: photo idea requirement. It meets federal law. Out of the
31:32
Speaker 1: Save Act anyway, if it gets an act exactly.
31:35
Speaker 8: And another critical thing. Having been an election worker, now
31:38
Speaker 8: this is year eleven for me. They just don't pop
31:41
Speaker 8: up election days.
31:43
Speaker 6: They don't just.
31:43
Speaker 8: Say on Friday, here we're going to have an election
31:45
Speaker 8: next Tuesday. The primary, folks, is May fifth. Every federal
31:50
Speaker 8: election from now until we're all six feet under is
31:53
Speaker 8: the first Tuesday after the first first Monday in November.
31:58
Speaker 8: No surprise there. So if you have a life changing
32:02
Speaker 8: situation come that might change your ID, you got till
32:06
Speaker 8: next November in twenty twenty eight, or excuse me, in
32:11
Speaker 8: mid terms now and you got twenty twenty eight, you
32:14
Speaker 8: got twenty thirty, twenty thirty two. It doesn't matter. It's
32:16
Speaker 8: the first Tuesday after the first Monday. They don't just
32:19
Speaker 8: spring election days on us.
32:22
Speaker 1: You might have heard have passed along that message to
32:24
Speaker 1: the residents of the city of Cincinnati.
32:30
Speaker 8: Step heres, I guess.
32:32
Speaker 3: So.
32:33
Speaker 8: Anyway, it's just it's so easy just to whip up
32:36
Speaker 8: these red herrings, and it's just laughable to see people
32:39
Speaker 8: get in front of a camera and actually spew this garbage.
32:44
Speaker 8: It's and except that you know, I think that one
32:46
Speaker 8: was the last one I saw how seventy million people
32:49
Speaker 8: are going to be franchised, or how we're going to
32:50
Speaker 8: be walking up walking up people on the street and
32:53
Speaker 8: say show me your papers. No, no, sir, that's not
32:56
Speaker 8: the way it works.
32:57
Speaker 1: No, it isn't the way it works. Unfortunately, you get it,
33:00
Speaker 1: and I'm hoping more and more people get it. And
33:02
Speaker 1: of course, given the polling on this particular issue, Chuckie
33:05
Speaker 1: Schumer is in the batcrap in same side of the argument.
33:08
Speaker 1: Let him keep saying it, let him keep offending people,
33:10
Speaker 1: because that's what he does every single time he comes
33:12
Speaker 1: out and says black people can't get IDs, women can't
33:15
Speaker 1: get IDs. You can include my wife among the people
33:18
Speaker 1: who was insulted by that actual concept, Mike. She even
33:21
Speaker 1: said it out loud when he first articulated that poor
33:24
Speaker 1: women can't get an idea. Oh my god, they're not
33:26
Speaker 1: going to be able to vote. She's like, that is
33:28
Speaker 1: just ridiculous. Of course, she's been able to manage that
33:31
Speaker 1: her entire life, and at least as long as she's
33:33
Speaker 1: been with me. So yeah, lots of documents, she able
33:35
Speaker 1: to get him all in the place and does have
33:37
Speaker 1: her real ID so she can vote in federal elections.
33:39
Speaker 1: Didn't find it too challenging to be in that position.
33:42
Speaker 1: Amazing that well, like you, we just both married all
33:46
Speaker 1: of our element We just have overly extraordinarily smart women, Mike,
33:50
Speaker 1: and that's the only reason they were able to manage
33:52
Speaker 1: that difficult challenge. Right Ah, Love you brother, Thank you
33:56
Speaker 1: as always for your service to our country. It's five
33:58
Speaker 1: point fifty five AIRCD talk station. You can give me
34:01
Speaker 1: a call. Love to hear from you at the top
34:03
Speaker 1: of the UR news. A whole lot more to talk about.
34:04
Speaker 1: Oh look, Chuckie Schumer introducing federal legislation to make the
34:08
Speaker 1: gay pride flag a congressionally authorized symbol priorities.
34:14
Speaker 9: Don't go happy right back Today's top headline station.
34:19
Speaker 1: It's six and six on a Tuesday. Happy one to you.
34:24
Speaker 1: My name is Brian Thomas. I am trying to be
34:26
Speaker 1: hosted the fifty About Kersey Morning Show. Certainly appreciate Dan
34:28
Speaker 1: Carroll covering for me yesterday. The post cancer treatments really
34:31
Speaker 1: threw me for a look, just like last time, and
34:33
Speaker 1: I'm dealing with it again today. So my brain is
34:36
Speaker 1: swirling a little bit, so advance apologies and I mean
34:38
Speaker 1: to stand behind that, but if you're wondering, why the
34:40
Speaker 1: hell it don't sound normal or right. That's the way
34:42
Speaker 1: I feel in my head, which is why I'm asking
34:44
Speaker 1: for help this morning more so than normal. Five three seven,
34:49
Speaker 1: five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three taco
34:51
Speaker 1: with pound five fifty on AT and T phones and
34:53
Speaker 1: thank you in advanced the Christopher Smith Aman heard my call,
34:57
Speaker 1: my desperation, my desperate Please He'll be joining the program
34:59
Speaker 1: at six thirty on. A couple of items go over
35:01
Speaker 1: with him. One of it which I thought, maybe he
35:03
Speaker 1: might want to comment about the passing of Reverend Jackson Jackson,
35:05
Speaker 1: who died this morning eighty four years old. I believe
35:08
Speaker 1: he's after struggling with Parkinson's. But regardless, you know, obviously
35:12
Speaker 1: civil Rights icon is no longer with us, and it
35:14
Speaker 1: is Black History Month. Maybe he might want to talk
35:15
Speaker 1: about that. But maybe also, since a city council amid
35:19
Speaker 1: a budget problem, aren't we in a hole? Don't we
35:21
Speaker 1: have like a thirty million dollar budget hole to fill?
35:24
Speaker 1: We don't have enough money? Yeah, this has been an
35:27
Speaker 1: ongoing problem with the City of Cincinnati, plus their failure
35:29
Speaker 1: of priorities. Guess what priorities happen to be illegal immigrant protection. Now, huh,
35:36
Speaker 1: I guess they have extra money laying around in the
35:38
Speaker 1: tune of looks looks like a half a million dollars.
35:40
Speaker 1: I'll get to that in a second. First bottom of
35:42
Speaker 1: this hour again, Christopher Smithman will let him decide what
35:44
Speaker 1: he wants to talk about. I'll take whatever comes much
35:47
Speaker 1: like the same way if you want to call right now,
35:49
Speaker 1: Tom Zawastowski. Fast forward to seven point thirty. We either
35:52
Speaker 1: people Convention dot Org. Tom Zawastowski, he's got to give
35:54
Speaker 1: us a list of the endorsed candidates for the primary,
35:58
Speaker 1: which do include vveg Ramaswami. Let's distagrant of some others
36:04
Speaker 1: slightly more unhinged. Anyhow, the long list of endorsed candidates.
36:09
Speaker 1: They're looking forward to that inside scoop of bright bart News.
36:11
Speaker 1: Let's fast forward to eight oh five with Deputy Politics
36:14
Speaker 1: out of to Bradley Jay talking about the latest on
36:16
Speaker 1: the Save Act. It looks like we may go into
36:18
Speaker 1: a full on Mister smith goes to Washington filibuster, which
36:21
Speaker 1: I think will be comical. Oh and isn't it interesting
36:24
Speaker 1: don't they go on break a lot they're off this week? Yeah,
36:27
Speaker 1: government shut down, they're not there at work. I take
36:30
Speaker 1: a week off, and following that, maybe we'll have I
36:34
Speaker 1: don't know, a week, two weeks, a month, three months
36:36
Speaker 1: of NonStop reading of the phone book. Why well, because
36:41
Speaker 1: black people and women, apparently in the hearts and minds,
36:44
Speaker 1: the Democrats are too stupid to get a photo id
36:47
Speaker 1: H boiled down. That's what it comes across. As vast
36:50
Speaker 1: majority of the people in the United States of America,
36:51
Speaker 1: as the polling regularly and consistently indicates, have no problem
36:54
Speaker 1: getting a photo ID Yeah, my people of color friends
36:58
Speaker 1: and my female friends all actually expressing insult when Chucky
37:02
Speaker 1: Schumer goes on and says you're not capable of getting
37:05
Speaker 1: a photo, I d good luck with that one. Meanwhile,
37:08
Speaker 1: Chuckie Schumer, of course the power doing the business of
37:11
Speaker 1: the people. He has introduced legislation yes over the weekend,
37:16
Speaker 1: to make the Pride flag a congressionally authorized symbol. Now,
37:23
Speaker 1: in terms of priority, where does that lie in your interests?
37:29
Speaker 1: Not being part of the LGBTQ community doesn't mean a
37:31
Speaker 1: whole lot to me. But you know, then again, we're
37:34
Speaker 1: talking about national symbols here, and Trump had previously ordered
37:39
Speaker 1: the removal of flags that are non agency flags at
37:44
Speaker 1: national parks, they must be removed. And apparently there is
37:47
Speaker 1: a national monument to the Stonewall riots, which are of course,
37:50
Speaker 1: were a real uh you know, pivot point for the LGBTQ,
37:54
Speaker 1: or at least the gay and Lesbian community movement. Police
37:58
Speaker 1: kept interrupting Stonewall where men liked to dance together, and
38:02
Speaker 1: finally there was no moss and they took to the
38:04
Speaker 1: streets and rioted. In the aftermath of that, you got
38:06
Speaker 1: to go all the back to nineteen sixty nine for that. Anyway,
38:08
Speaker 1: there's a Stonewall National Monument where the gay Pride flag
38:11
Speaker 1: was flying. Since the order encompassed all national monuments, it
38:15
Speaker 1: wasn't just focused on the Stonewall National Monument. The Pride
38:18
Speaker 1: flag remove, And of course Chuckie Schumer thinks it's important
38:21
Speaker 1: to make that a national symbol, a national symbol akin
38:28
Speaker 1: to the American flag. Priorities? Now, is that going to
38:34
Speaker 1: get him elected in November? Just wondering, Just wondering. Anyway,
38:40
Speaker 1: back over to the city of Cincinnati, got a lot
38:42
Speaker 1: of issues on their hands, a lot of priorities that
38:45
Speaker 1: should be higher than this one. At least that's my position.
38:47
Speaker 1: Feel free to chime in on it. Councilman Ryan James,
38:51
Speaker 1: CINCINNTI council's newest members, introduced a motion entitled Quote to
38:55
Speaker 1: protect our resonance from the threat of immigration and customs surveillance.
39:04
Speaker 1: The idea is to direct city administrations well I guess
39:08
Speaker 1: any area of city government, to never ask residents about
39:13
Speaker 1: their citizenship for any city program. Since an councils expected
39:22
Speaker 1: to vote on this or at least debate spending, You're
39:24
Speaker 1: ready two hundred thousand to three hundred thousand dollars to
39:29
Speaker 1: help immigrants facing deportation and their family members and provide
39:33
Speaker 1: social services for the immigration community. His motion ask the
39:43
Speaker 1: city administration to report within ninety days whether any city
39:46
Speaker 1: departments or programs ask about citizenship or collect any citizenship data,
39:51
Speaker 1: and if any city programs does collect this information. The
39:54
Speaker 1: motion directs the city manager and all city departments too,
39:56
Speaker 1: and there were in the words of the motion to
39:58
Speaker 1: remove all existing areas of inquiry regarding citizenship or naturalization
40:03
Speaker 1: status close quote. Since a Council Youth and Human Services
40:11
Speaker 1: Committee is going to be debated before that one, the
40:13
Speaker 1: chair and ALBI Councilman Albi claims he supports the measure.
40:18
Speaker 1: But here's the fun part about this, is this trip
40:21
Speaker 1: really necessary? Court of Scott Wartmon from the Enquirer's report
40:25
Speaker 1: of the city administration, has already told her The chair
40:28
Speaker 1: of this particular committee, Councilman Anna Albi, that the city
40:32
Speaker 1: does not ask questions about immigration status. So the point
40:38
Speaker 1: of the motion is to prevent them from, I guess ever,
40:42
Speaker 1: asking about immigration status. So council expected to debate the
40:47
Speaker 1: funding ideas for immigrants and their families, They say, especially
40:51
Speaker 1: those impacted by ICE enforcement, which I would think that
40:54
Speaker 1: would mean if ICE is really truly going at for
40:57
Speaker 1: the most criminal element in our society, it would be
41:02
Speaker 1: the most criminal element among the illegal immigrant population of
41:04
Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnati that this would well, this would
41:08
Speaker 1: benefit Albie's resolution. Also, a co sponsor by Mark Jefferts,
41:17
Speaker 1: would spend three hundred thousand dollars to establish what they
41:20
Speaker 1: call an Emergency Immigration Response Fund, which apparently supposed to
41:27
Speaker 1: go toward legal assistance, food and housing support, and education
41:34
Speaker 1: programs for immigrants in their families. Could somebody give me
41:38
Speaker 1: a number of illegal immigrants in the greater Cincinnati area.
41:40
Speaker 1: We are a sanctuary city. So I imagine there's got
41:42
Speaker 1: to be a substantial number. Someone do the math. How
41:45
Speaker 1: far can three hundred thousand dollars go most, notably since
41:49
Speaker 1: it first and foremost is apparently going to legal assistance.
41:52
Speaker 1: Legal assistance very expensive last time I checked, how many
41:56
Speaker 1: hours of work do you get for three hundred thousand
41:58
Speaker 1: dollars in legal assistance? Given well, these cases can go
42:01
Speaker 1: on for a very long time, and I will tell you,
42:03
Speaker 1: having practiced law for a long time, that doesn't get
42:06
Speaker 1: you very far. Oh but then again, there's food, housing support,
42:12
Speaker 1: and education programs also supposed to be paid for with
42:15
Speaker 1: this three hundred thousand dollars. I don't think the math
42:18
Speaker 1: works out. Maybe this is a little bit of virtue signaling,
42:23
Speaker 1: and I'll be I'm recommending an emergency immigration response fund
42:26
Speaker 1: so we can respond across the board. We have a
42:29
Speaker 1: pot of money to do that work whenever the issues
42:33
Speaker 1: may come up. Where did she find this pot of
42:35
Speaker 1: money we need? Citizen watch dog todds Enzer on this case,
42:41
Speaker 1: I thought they were out, Joe. Weren't they going to
42:45
Speaker 1: raise taxes?
42:46
Speaker 4: I mean that.
42:48
Speaker 1: They're talking about to raising income tax in the city,
42:52
Speaker 1: So they have a pot of money to do this work.
42:57
Speaker 1: I'm confused. Someone clear up my confusion. Separately, James introduced
43:07
Speaker 1: another motion that will give two hundred and ten thousand
43:10
Speaker 1: dollars to the Immigrant and Refugee Law Center. Can we
43:17
Speaker 1: properly characterize that as an NGO for the purpose of
43:22
Speaker 1: providing legal counsel to those facing deportation as well as
43:25
Speaker 1: connecting the immigrant communities to social services. You have to
43:30
Speaker 1: give Scott Wartman over the quire call, because I don't
43:32
Speaker 1: know what the hell that means. Money's going to solve
43:38
Speaker 1: the problem, though apparently also a warpman reporting that it's
43:43
Speaker 1: part of an overall proposed spending package that includes money
43:47
Speaker 1: for the Here's another one, access to Council program, which
43:53
Speaker 1: they say provides representation of people facing eviction, the free store,
43:56
Speaker 1: food bank, and other community projects. A seemingly endless list
44:04
Speaker 1: of organizations outside of the City of Cincinnati government who
44:07
Speaker 1: are going to receiving your taxpayer dollars compliments of probably
44:11
Speaker 1: at increasing your income tax. I want to know the
44:15
Speaker 1: size of this pot of money that I'll be talking about.
44:19
Speaker 1: Also add this to the list. The money in James's
44:21
Speaker 1: proposal would also pay for a quote know your rights
44:24
Speaker 1: close quote campaign for the purposes of educating communities on
44:30
Speaker 1: the law and programs about quote how to recognize and
44:36
Speaker 1: respond appropriately to ICE activity in the community. Oh maybe
44:44
Speaker 1: the whistle blowing strategy. When ICE comes to your neighborhood,
44:47
Speaker 1: got to get out there in the middle of the street,
44:48
Speaker 1: block it with your car and blow a whistle at
44:50
Speaker 1: ICE agents so effectively. As I read that one, your
45:00
Speaker 1: hard earned taxpayer dollars, as finite and limited as they are,
45:04
Speaker 1: given the deficit that we've got going on in the
45:06
Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati, are going to pay to train people
45:10
Speaker 1: on I guess anti ice agitation, at least that's how
45:14
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas is reading it this morning. Come up with
45:16
Speaker 1: your own conclusion or tell me that I'm wrong. That
45:20
Speaker 1: is political organization. And in spite of the fact we
45:23
Speaker 1: know how blue the city of Cincinnati is, I don't
45:25
Speaker 1: think being blue necessarily means you're in favor of illegal
45:28
Speaker 1: imminence most immigrants, most notably criminal ones, limiting in your
45:30
Speaker 1: neighborhood on your taxpayer dollars. Ah. And here's a good
45:43
Speaker 1: point depart from Homeland Scurityssistant Secretary A. Tricia McLoughlin. Actually
45:49
Speaker 1: directly slamming this particular proposal. What a slap in the face.
45:53
Speaker 1: Here's go back to my point on the overwhelmingly blue
45:57
Speaker 1: voters in the city of Cincinnati. What a slap in
45:59
Speaker 1: the face of the thirty five percent of Cincinnati children
46:02
Speaker 1: who live in poverty. Those dollars should be going to
46:05
Speaker 1: their social safety net and helping those children in The
46:07
Speaker 1: American taxpayer offers those those in this country illegally a
46:12
Speaker 1: twenty six hundred dollars exit bonus and a free flight home.
46:15
Speaker 1: Of course, she had to get that in there. There
46:17
Speaker 1: are options, folks out there. It's six eighteen right now,
46:20
Speaker 1: fifty five kr C the talk station. What a great
46:22
Speaker 1: opportunity for you to mention as it all talk station
46:26
Speaker 1: at six forty three fifty five cars de talk station. Apparently,
46:30
Speaker 1: this whole immigration thing is a court of the Catholic
46:34
Speaker 1: Democrats the Republicans. I suppose violating God's will. And you
46:40
Speaker 1: know I mentioned this multitude of times. If you are
46:42
Speaker 1: in a church and someone in the front of the church,
46:45
Speaker 1: the priest, the i'mam, the minister, the rabbi, whatever pastor
46:49
Speaker 1: is telling you you need to vote for government legislation
46:52
Speaker 1: to fulfill your Christian mission, then they don't get it.
46:54
Speaker 1: That has been my position, and I'm entitled to my own,
46:57
Speaker 1: at least in so far as interpreting our Christian doctor
47:00
Speaker 1: being Catholic doctrine. And with that I will point out
47:02
Speaker 1: yet again, there are over forty five thousand distinct distinct
47:05
Speaker 1: Christian denominations. This is the court of the Center for
47:08
Speaker 1: Study of Global Christianity. We all come out of the
47:10
Speaker 1: heading of Catholic, Protestant, Ethan, Orthodox or Oriental Orthodoxy, Anglican,
47:15
Speaker 1: and Restorationists, but there are a multitude of subsets beneath
47:18
Speaker 1: all that pick one. So I'm interpret scripture differently cour
47:23
Speaker 1: to the fort forty House members who are Catholic, they
47:26
Speaker 1: release this statement. We feel called in solidary to stand
47:31
Speaker 1: with immigrants, especially those who are poor, marginalized, or feeling hardship,
47:34
Speaker 1: and to ensure that they are treated with dignity, justice
47:36
Speaker 1: and compassion. As Catholics and elected officials, we believe that
47:41
Speaker 1: addressing long standing inequities expanding meaningful opportunities for immigrants is
47:45
Speaker 1: essential part of our responsibility to community and those most
47:48
Speaker 1: in neat You may share a different position on religion
47:51
Speaker 1: and the obligation of the individual versus the state, and
47:55
Speaker 1: I Channel House speaker Mike Johnson. Now, he happens to
47:58
Speaker 1: be a Southern Baptist, and he does cite Scripture in
48:00
Speaker 1: connection with what he is talking about, and that's it.
48:01
Speaker 1: He's entitled to do that. I still go back to
48:04
Speaker 1: we don't live in a theocracy, but you can use
48:05
Speaker 1: religious tenets and principles to advance your argument. He said.
48:09
Speaker 1: The Bible is clear Christians should practice personal charity, but
48:17
Speaker 1: also insist upon the enforcement of laws like our federal
48:19
Speaker 1: immigration statutes, so that every person is subject to the
48:22
Speaker 1: governing authorities and those who resist incur judgment those that
48:27
Speaker 1: statement does cite or is citing, Saint Paul's Letter of
48:31
Speaker 1: the Romans, at least a segment of it, chapter thirteen specifically.
48:35
Speaker 1: So he's relying on faith to talk about your obligation
48:38
Speaker 1: as a personal obligation to your mission, not the government,
48:44
Speaker 1: he said, the faithful as individuals, but not the machinery
48:46
Speaker 1: of state. Well, you have to see to whom the
48:51
Speaker 1: order is given, this Christian mission order. That order is
48:54
Speaker 1: not given to civil authorities and the government. That order
48:58
Speaker 1: is given to individuals. We do reach out to the sojourner,
49:03
Speaker 1: But it is not the job of the federal government
49:06
Speaker 1: to do it. And if you think that's wrong, no,
49:08
Speaker 1: the federal government should take on this Christian mission. What
49:10
Speaker 1: about all the other religions and all the other House members.
49:13
Speaker 1: Some of them are Muslims, some of them are Hindu
49:15
Speaker 1: The raamosamis Hindu. Oh my God, we can't let him.
49:19
Speaker 1: Some of them are atheists or agnostics. Some of them
49:22
Speaker 1: don't share this particular view. Some of them have a
49:23
Speaker 1: different viewpoint of the exact mission. Then, when it comes
49:27
Speaker 1: to religion, you know what opinions are like. And if
49:35
Speaker 1: we take on the Catholic mission as this particular group
49:38
Speaker 1: sees it, what are the missions are we going to
49:40
Speaker 1: take on in the name of filling the blank? Particular
49:43
Speaker 1: ideological bent six twenty six fifty five K see the
49:47
Speaker 1: talk station get in touch with John Ryan a Prestesi
49:50
Speaker 1: Interiors for a beautiful five car se the talk station,
49:53
Speaker 1: Ryan Thomas happy as he can be. Yes, I am
49:57
Speaker 1: I refer myself in the third person. Christopher Smith in returns,
50:00
Speaker 1: former Vice Mayor of the City Cincinnati, here to rescue
50:02
Speaker 1: me from my brain fog chemo brain. Thank you, Christopher Smithman.
50:06
Speaker 1: It's always a pleasure having on the program, sir, and
50:08
Speaker 1: I thought we had a couple of topics you might
50:10
Speaker 1: want to chime in on anyway, So thank you forgiving
50:12
Speaker 1: me a shout this morning.
50:14
Speaker 3: Oh brother, thank you so much. Let me just start
50:16
Speaker 3: with acknowledging the death of Jesse Jackson. Yeah, and just
50:21
Speaker 3: and just give some context to your listening audience. You know,
50:25
Speaker 3: here's a man who was born in nineteen forty one, right,
50:28
Speaker 3: my parents were born in nineteen thirty eight, and so
50:32
Speaker 3: at the ripe age of twenty six or twenty seven,
50:35
Speaker 3: twenty eight, you know, he was living in a period
50:38
Speaker 3: of time where civil rights leaders were being murdered, people
50:42
Speaker 3: like doctor King, people like MegaR Evers. You know, he
50:47
Speaker 3: knew Rosa Parks, John F. Kennedy's assassination. You know, America
50:54
Speaker 3: made him like people have to. You know, sometimes I think, Brian,
50:58
Speaker 3: you know, in twenty twenty six, we reflect back and
51:00
Speaker 3: we look at iconic people like Jesse Jackson and all
51:04
Speaker 3: of his imperfections, but we don't acknowledge that he came
51:10
Speaker 3: up in a time in America where it wasn't its
51:13
Speaker 3: best for African Americans, and so he was going through
51:17
Speaker 3: a time in his life where he had to live
51:21
Speaker 3: a life where he had to walk in the back
51:23
Speaker 3: door of a restaurant. He couldn't go in the front
51:25
Speaker 3: door of a restaurant. And as painful as that is
51:28
Speaker 3: for America in this great democratic experiment that we have,
51:32
Speaker 3: I love this country. He loved this country as he
51:36
Speaker 3: fought for it. You love this country. But we have
51:39
Speaker 3: to talk about his legacy in that context because he
51:42
Speaker 3: had some imperfections. There's no question as things changed, as
51:47
Speaker 3: America got better, there were times that I thought that
51:50
Speaker 3: Jesse Jackson did not move as quickly as these things
51:53
Speaker 3: were happening in front of us, all the way to
51:56
Speaker 3: the election of an African American President of the United
51:59
Speaker 3: States of America and so or of a man of color. However,
52:03
Speaker 3: people wanted to find President Barack Obama, his wife Michelle Obama,
52:08
Speaker 3: their children, and his mother in law who lived in
52:11
Speaker 3: the White House. My point is, let's give him his
52:16
Speaker 3: due that he came up in a period of time
52:19
Speaker 3: that it was difficult. And I'll end with personal stories
52:22
Speaker 3: about myself, meaning I was born in nineteen sixty seven,
52:26
Speaker 3: so I was born right kind of in the middle
52:28
Speaker 3: of that probably like you were, Brian. Yeah, I remember
52:34
Speaker 3: in my life where I could not walk through Norwood
52:38
Speaker 3: safely at night. I mean, my dad would say, listen,
52:41
Speaker 3: you better be careful going if you don't, you know,
52:43
Speaker 3: when the sun set, don't come through Norwood or places
52:46
Speaker 3: like Saint Bernard. Places like Norwood and Saint Bernard in
52:50
Speaker 3: our city have changed so dramatically, meaning that's where I
52:53
Speaker 3: grocery shop every day. You know, I don't have that context.
52:56
Speaker 3: You know, I remember my father telling me about dating
52:59
Speaker 3: in a racially meaning there was a white female that
53:02
Speaker 3: I liked in high school. You know, be very very
53:04
Speaker 3: careful where you go. Blah blah blah. That's how I lived.
53:08
Speaker 3: That's not fake. That's my life.
53:10
Speaker 7: Yea.
53:10
Speaker 3: Well we've come beyond that. My children are marrying interracially, right,
53:14
Speaker 3: they're dating interracially. That's all in all of our families.
53:19
Speaker 3: So the world has changed, and some of that change
53:22
Speaker 3: has happened because of men and women like Jesse Jackson.
53:28
Speaker 1: No arguing that whatsoever. Yeah, we can all focus on
53:31
Speaker 1: the bad things people did and look at behind the scenes,
53:34
Speaker 1: and you know, overlook the good that they did out front,
53:37
Speaker 1: and you know, never a huge fan of some of
53:40
Speaker 1: the things Jesse was advocating for. Of course, left winning,
53:42
Speaker 1: liberal socialist type policies have never been my area of
53:47
Speaker 1: you know, a favoritism. But you know, again contextually it
53:51
Speaker 1: is so important we lose sight of that, we really do.
53:55
Speaker 1: I mean, I was born in sixty five. As you
53:56
Speaker 1: point out, the world was dramatically different, and I had
53:59
Speaker 1: no idea about the world that I was born into
54:01
Speaker 1: that time. But you can reflect back on it going wow,
54:04
Speaker 1: you know there were still Jim Crow laws in there.
54:06
Speaker 1: The whole Medgar Evers thing happened in the sixties, right,
54:09
Speaker 1: I mean, this was real time going on right at
54:12
Speaker 1: the time I was born. But my life has not
54:15
Speaker 1: witnessed that type of behavior toward people towards well, black people,
54:22
Speaker 1: notably since that's the area of the conversation. But we've
54:24
Speaker 1: experienced such a dramatic improvement in racial harmony over my life.
54:28
Speaker 1: It's as if that period of time never existed. It's
54:31
Speaker 1: almost they brought it back and dusted it off because
54:35
Speaker 1: it wasn't around the way it used to be. The
54:38
Speaker 1: left needs to have that angry and that sense that,
54:41
Speaker 1: my god, this country is in imperfect place. We've never
54:44
Speaker 1: made any bet strides past the Jim Crow era or
54:47
Speaker 1: slavery era. We need to do something about it. I
54:50
Speaker 1: think that ignores a lot of progress over the years.
54:52
Speaker 1: Let's continue with former vice mayor Christopher smith and I
54:54
Speaker 1: alway's got a lot more to talk about it and
54:55
Speaker 1: thank God for it. At six thirty seven. Right now,
54:57
Speaker 1: I thirty five k seetation. It's six point forty one
55:02
Speaker 1: on a Tuesday Monday. Christopher Smithman joining the program. He
55:07
Speaker 1: was on yesterday for the smither vent. Dan Carroll cover
55:09
Speaker 1: for me yesterday dealing with the aftermath of the cancer treatments.
55:12
Speaker 1: I feel like I got off the scrambler. I think
55:14
Speaker 1: they can best summarize it someoney, just ask me about that.
55:16
Speaker 1: Good morning, Jeff. You know you got the scrambler right
55:19
Speaker 1: at King's Island or Coney Island. You get off and
55:21
Speaker 1: you feel real dizzy. That is the way my brain
55:23
Speaker 1: is feeling right now. Christopher. So I can't thank you
55:25
Speaker 1: never for calling in this morning. What else are we
55:28
Speaker 1: talking about?
55:29
Speaker 3: You? Thank you, thanks for wanting me to come in.
55:32
Speaker 3: And I want you to know that there are a
55:35
Speaker 3: lot of people out here who are praying for you.
55:37
Speaker 3: Brian Thomas and a lot of people that love you
55:40
Speaker 3: and that you know, we appreciate that you're sharing your
55:44
Speaker 3: story because you know, you're doing this in the public
55:48
Speaker 3: eye and it helps other people, because there are other
55:51
Speaker 3: people out there right now who are going through chemo,
55:54
Speaker 3: who are sitting in their chemo chairs right now, you know,
55:58
Speaker 3: locking and loading, and you're giving them hope that they
56:02
Speaker 3: can make it through the process. So you're an awesome man.
56:04
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, you know. You know me, I I
56:08
Speaker 1: just it's I don't do this for praise, but you
56:11
Speaker 1: know there is that person out there dealing with the
56:12
Speaker 1: same thing. You know what, Misery loves company, and to
56:15
Speaker 1: know that, yeah, I'm with you. I'm dealing with the
56:17
Speaker 1: same struggles or different struggles. Fortunately, mine probably aren't as
56:20
Speaker 1: bad as so many struggles from folks that struggle with cancer.
56:23
Speaker 1: It's just cancer sucks. But you know, there are a
56:25
Speaker 1: lot of us out here dealing with it. It's not
56:27
Speaker 1: the end of the world. You can be optimistic and
56:30
Speaker 1: positive about it. It's just that you know, some days
56:32
Speaker 1: it's going to knock the legs out from undy you.
56:34
Speaker 1: And that was certainly yesterday in a bit today, But
56:38
Speaker 1: this too shall pass, you know, what I mean, this
56:40
Speaker 1: too shall pass.
56:42
Speaker 3: That's what that's the point. You're giving those people out
56:44
Speaker 3: there that are going through it today and yesterday and
56:47
Speaker 3: during the week. You're giving them hope, and you're giving
56:49
Speaker 3: their family members hope. So keep talking about it, you know,
56:52
Speaker 3: don't keep your don't keep your story a secret. But
56:56
Speaker 3: back to what you were saying when we went to
56:57
Speaker 3: the break, back to our business, say, look, Brian, voter
57:02
Speaker 3: ID and requirements of voter ID in Democratic elections are
57:08
Speaker 3: not racists. And that's where you were going. And so
57:12
Speaker 3: as we talk about Jesse Jackson's legacy, we have to
57:15
Speaker 3: acknowledge that the Democrats in the South, where he was raised,
57:20
Speaker 3: where he was born, where he cut his rug there
57:24
Speaker 3: in the South, we're all brought to him by Democrats, right,
57:29
Speaker 3: whether it was Lyndon Johnson, the president at the time,
57:33
Speaker 3: whether it was governors at the time like Wallace, you
57:36
Speaker 3: know who said segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever. Those
57:43
Speaker 3: were Southern Democrats who brought that upon on Jesse Jackson.
57:47
Speaker 3: We're living in a town now where voter having an
57:51
Speaker 3: ID and poll taxes there's no connection. But what the
57:55
Speaker 3: Democrats are trying to do is pull on those emotions
57:58
Speaker 3: the Jesse Jackson nineteen sixties, those older African Americans who voted,
58:05
Speaker 3: who do vote, who do participate, and they're trying to
58:08
Speaker 3: ring that bill, blow that whistle, that that is what
58:11
Speaker 3: is happening, and there's nothing farther from the truth, that.
58:15
Speaker 1: Right which goes was the point I want to make,
58:17
Speaker 1: springing from that very common Christopher. Isn't it therefore much
58:22
Speaker 1: in the same way there're suggesting that, I guess black
58:25
Speaker 1: people aren't smart enough to be able to get a
58:27
Speaker 1: photo ID. Isn't it an insult to those who lived
58:30
Speaker 1: through Jim Crow to characterize this as something analogous to
58:33
Speaker 1: Jim Crow?
58:35
Speaker 3: Yes, it is. And from the party who brought us Jim.
58:39
Speaker 3: The ones who are talking about it are the ones
58:42
Speaker 3: who brought us poll taxes, right. This is that party.
58:46
Speaker 3: This is the party who brought us the ku Klup plan,
58:49
Speaker 3: the Democratic Party in the South. Remember, there was a war, right,
58:53
Speaker 3: so the North and the South fought right, there was
58:56
Speaker 3: a confederacy, this is the reality of it. And there
58:59
Speaker 3: were a war around slavery where we would say an
59:03
Speaker 3: estimated six hundred and fifty thousand people, that's an estimate
59:07
Speaker 3: to historians, it might have been seven hundred thousand, it
59:10
Speaker 3: might have been little less. But let's say it was
59:12
Speaker 3: two percent of the population of the of the country,
59:15
Speaker 3: meaning we'd have to there would have to be six
59:18
Speaker 3: million people die, now something like that for us to
59:22
Speaker 3: have that same healing of the number of people that
59:25
Speaker 3: lost their lives, those were our white brothers, our black
59:28
Speaker 3: brothers who died on the battlefield so we can get freedom.
59:31
Speaker 3: We have to remind people about this. What you're saying
59:35
Speaker 3: is correct. The photo ID law that was passed by
59:38
Speaker 3: the Republican Party, the party that Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.
59:44
Speaker 3: It was affirmed in the thirteenth Amendment by Republicans, with
59:47
Speaker 3: Democrats voting against the thirteenth Amendment. The reality is this
59:52
Speaker 3: is the party now again stepping up and saying we
59:55
Speaker 3: need photo IDs to have a democratic, fair election. And
1:00:00
Speaker 3: I understand that African Americans already have photo IDs, already
1:00:05
Speaker 3: have state IDs, already know how to use the Internet,
1:00:09
Speaker 3: and to suggest differently is absolutely racing. Christopher with the
1:00:13
Speaker 3: Republican Party is articulating right now to our country.
1:00:17
Speaker 1: Let's go back a few years when I was a
1:00:19
Speaker 1: member of the Cincinntia NAACP. When you were president, I
1:00:22
Speaker 1: voted for you in the election. Guests who had to
1:00:24
Speaker 1: produce a photo ID to vote in the NAACP election, Christopher,
1:00:29
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas, and everybody else who showed up to vote
1:00:33
Speaker 1: in the election, I want.
1:00:35
Speaker 3: You to reiterate that to every n double ac NUBACP
1:00:40
Speaker 3: president and member of that organization. You all all know
1:00:45
Speaker 3: that you cannot vote in our local election without your
1:00:50
Speaker 3: membership card and your photo ID.
1:00:54
Speaker 1: That's Jim Crow two point out, Christopher, a strange thing
1:00:57
Speaker 1: for the NAACP to embrace. Let's pause when christop back
1:01:00
Speaker 1: for a few more words. First, Odor exit doesn't get
1:01:02
Speaker 1: rid of the STANCHI of politics station at six fifty
1:01:06
Speaker 1: one for drop Care c DE talk station. Christopher Smitheman's
1:01:09
Speaker 1: on the horn saving me from my brain fog self
1:01:12
Speaker 1: this morning and offering up some really important things to
1:01:14
Speaker 1: point out. We talked a little bit of Reverend Jesse
1:01:16
Speaker 1: Jackson passing this morning at his Black History Month. Of course,
1:01:19
Speaker 1: other issues including well the photo ID requirement there, Christopher,
1:01:23
Speaker 1: obviously you don't think it's too much of a problem,
1:01:25
Speaker 1: and vast majority has known either since I counsel, though,
1:01:28
Speaker 1: is busily trying to allocate a whole bunch of money
1:01:30
Speaker 1: and resources to help the local immigration population. Christopher, It's
1:01:36
Speaker 1: just something along the order of three hundred thousand dollars,
1:01:40
Speaker 1: and they want to fund legal expenses, food and housing,
1:01:43
Speaker 1: education programs. The list is seemingly endless. And I don't
1:01:48
Speaker 1: know you were on council yet. Three hundred thousand dollars
1:01:50
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to me to buy a whole lot, and
1:01:52
Speaker 1: you could use all of it up just on legal
1:01:55
Speaker 1: assistance if that's where you wanted to go. But this
1:01:56
Speaker 1: seems to be an endless list proposed by Albion and Jeffreys.
1:02:01
Speaker 1: Your reaction to this, Christopher.
1:02:03
Speaker 3: It's a waste of money, bottom line. I mean, the
1:02:07
Speaker 3: reality of it is, there are other priorities. Number one,
1:02:12
Speaker 3: that ICE federal agents who are great Americans who are
1:02:16
Speaker 3: out here risking their life every day to get bad people,
1:02:21
Speaker 3: gang members, racist pedophilers, people who have you know, have
1:02:26
Speaker 3: DUIs and have killed American families in their cars. These
1:02:31
Speaker 3: are the people that ICE are targeting. They're not targeting Dreamers.
1:02:36
Speaker 3: And so again the Democratic Party, and they're messaging, they're lying,
1:02:39
Speaker 3: they're misleading the public and all to me, this three
1:02:43
Speaker 3: hundred thousand dollars is yet another flare that city council
1:02:48
Speaker 3: with anti police. You know, they want to reimagine the police,
1:02:52
Speaker 3: so they go after our local police. They go after
1:02:55
Speaker 3: sheriffs because you know, we had a situation where, you know,
1:03:00
Speaker 3: there was some discussion about the sheriff who lost his
1:03:03
Speaker 3: life by the father, and there was some conversation about
1:03:07
Speaker 3: maybe they were negotiating some payoff for the family. This
1:03:12
Speaker 3: council continues to show us that they don't support law enforcement,
1:03:17
Speaker 3: and this is just another example of it. You know,
1:03:20
Speaker 3: they're acting as if ice are the bad guys. They're
1:03:23
Speaker 3: not the bad people. The bad people are the criminals
1:03:27
Speaker 3: that they are arresting who happen to be in our
1:03:30
Speaker 3: country illegally. Again, they're targeting the worst of the worst. Now,
1:03:34
Speaker 3: let me say this to you, Brian Thomas. If they
1:03:36
Speaker 3: go into a space where there are other people illegally
1:03:41
Speaker 3: who are there with gang members guilt by association, you're
1:03:45
Speaker 3: all getting out of here, right. So, certainly that is happening,
1:03:49
Speaker 3: But it's not like they're targeting people. And that is
1:03:52
Speaker 3: what the Democrats are attempting to say is happening. That
1:03:56
Speaker 3: is just absolutely not true. I don't want to live
1:03:58
Speaker 3: next to a gang member. I don't want my daughter
1:04:01
Speaker 3: to go out to get hit by someone who doesn't
1:04:03
Speaker 3: have a driver's license as she goes to school, or
1:04:07
Speaker 3: a drug driver, or any of those things. And if
1:04:09
Speaker 3: it were to happen, I would be so angry. Why
1:04:12
Speaker 3: is that person in our country? And then if they
1:04:15
Speaker 3: are in our country, why are they not being expelled
1:04:18
Speaker 3: from the United States of America. I just feel like
1:04:21
Speaker 3: the Democrats right now, Brian are more interested in protecting
1:04:25
Speaker 3: criminals than they are law by the Americans, or another
1:04:29
Speaker 3: way to say it. They seem more interested in protecting
1:04:32
Speaker 3: other people and not Americans. And that is also what
1:04:36
Speaker 3: is reflected in city Council.
1:04:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, it certainly seems to be that way. And everyone
1:04:41
Speaker 1: keeps talking about anecdotally all the Democrats are going to
1:04:44
Speaker 1: win it November. They're going to sweep Congress, they're going
1:04:46
Speaker 1: to take over the House, they're going to take over
1:04:47
Speaker 1: the Senate. And I think about it based on what
1:04:50
Speaker 1: I mean. Maybe I'm just missing something, maybe I'm just
1:04:54
Speaker 1: living in my own dark echo chamber cave, but I mean,
1:04:58
Speaker 1: it's the American citizen and who's already struggling with problems galore.
1:05:02
Speaker 1: We could all name them and the problem. And I
1:05:06
Speaker 1: saw this article about the social welfare safety net, this
1:05:09
Speaker 1: this Wall Street Journal article about how unbelievably onerous the
1:05:12
Speaker 1: debt service already is and it's gonna double in the
1:05:15
Speaker 1: next ten years. This is something that impacts tax paying Americans,
1:05:18
Speaker 1: and we're only further stressing out that system and further
1:05:22
Speaker 1: sending it spiraling out of control based upon the overwhelming
1:05:25
Speaker 1: number of illegal immigrants who hooked themselves up to it.
1:05:28
Speaker 1: We just can't afford it.
1:05:31
Speaker 6: We just can't.
1:05:32
Speaker 3: And I just want to say to you that, you
1:05:35
Speaker 3: know the voter I d thing when I heard some
1:05:37
Speaker 3: Democrats saying, hey, it's anti woman. No, what anti woman
1:05:42
Speaker 3: is you saying dudes can compete against women in sports?
1:05:47
Speaker 3: Another one that's anti woman? What anti woman is you
1:05:51
Speaker 3: saying a dude can go into a Planet Fitness or
1:05:55
Speaker 3: whatever in their locker rooms and shower with them and
1:05:58
Speaker 3: create unsafe environments. Look, I support the LGBTQ plus community,
1:06:03
Speaker 3: but I don't support men and boys in places where
1:06:07
Speaker 3: women need to be safe. And so there is eighty
1:06:11
Speaker 3: ninety percent of Americans when they vote in the primary
1:06:14
Speaker 3: and they vote in the general election, they're with you
1:06:16
Speaker 3: and I also on this voter IDP seventy to eighty percent.
1:06:20
Speaker 3: It's polling that Americans are saying they want somebody with
1:06:24
Speaker 3: a photo ID. I need an idea to buy alcohol,
1:06:27
Speaker 3: I need an ID to buy cigarettes. I need an
1:06:30
Speaker 3: ID to fly on a plane. Voting an election. It's
1:06:34
Speaker 3: polling seventy to eighty percent of Americans black or writers say,
1:06:39
Speaker 3: or Latino or Asian or say it's okay. What we're
1:06:42
Speaker 3: finding is the Democrats are on the wrong side of
1:06:46
Speaker 3: these issues, and it's going to reflect in the May primary,
1:06:49
Speaker 3: and it's also going to reflect in November general elections.
1:06:52
Speaker 3: They are not going to take Congress, They're not going
1:06:54
Speaker 3: to take the Senate. I think things are going to
1:06:56
Speaker 3: kind of stay where they are. I think it's going
1:06:57
Speaker 3: to be tight. But the reality of it is that
1:07:00
Speaker 3: the country is saying that the Democratic Party has gone
1:07:03
Speaker 3: so left that even if you are a Democrat, you
1:07:05
Speaker 3: can't even recognize your own party.
1:07:07
Speaker 1: Well, you heard it here from Christopher Smithman on the
1:07:10
Speaker 1: fifty five care Sad Morning Show. Christopher, thank you again
1:07:12
Speaker 1: for helping me out here. This morning. I really appreciate
1:07:15
Speaker 1: your comments and your insight as always. Will do it
1:07:17
Speaker 1: again on Monday for another smither event Monday Love.
1:07:20
Speaker 3: I love you, brother man, and people can follow me
1:07:23
Speaker 3: on on x at vote Smitherman. Thank you so much, brother.
1:07:27
Speaker 1: Do yourself a favor and do just that. Six fifty
1:07:29
Speaker 1: seven right now, we've got more to talk about between
1:07:31
Speaker 1: top of the hour, and that's seven thirty when tom's
1:07:33
Speaker 1: Awastowski we the people convention ship. The talkstation seven oh
1:07:53
Speaker 1: six at fifty nine are ced talk station, right, Thomas
1:07:58
Speaker 1: sort of kind of here again, Dan Carroll for coming
1:08:01
Speaker 1: from me yesterday. Still dealing with the aftermats of the chemotherapy,
1:08:04
Speaker 1: I apologize, I'm spinning in my head, but I'm still
1:08:06
Speaker 1: managing trying to get through. And I appreciate Christopher Smith
1:08:08
Speaker 1: and joining the program late in the last hour. Great
1:08:10
Speaker 1: topics with Christopher and coming up to the bottom of this hour,
1:08:13
Speaker 1: tom'z Auastowski joins a program a list of endorsed candidates
1:08:16
Speaker 1: for the primary, and yes, right there, number one vive
1:08:18
Speaker 1: A Ramaswamy. Hmmm, irking some but I don't know why. Anyway,
1:08:23
Speaker 1: Tom's got a full list of that he'll be talking
1:08:24
Speaker 1: about that coming to the bottom of the hour inside
1:08:26
Speaker 1: Scoop at bright Barton News. Fast forward one hour, Deputy
1:08:30
Speaker 1: Politics out of Bradley Jay returns. He's going to be
1:08:31
Speaker 1: talking about the latest on the Save Act. It looks
1:08:34
Speaker 1: like we may be heading toward the talking filibuster. Sena
1:08:39
Speaker 1: MA Jordy leader Tom Thune said, hey, listen, we're going
1:08:42
Speaker 1: to have a vote on this. It seems to be
1:08:43
Speaker 1: a question of how you got all the complications that
1:08:49
Speaker 1: go along with this. Complicated it is, though, but again,
1:08:54
Speaker 1: this shouldn't be complicated because the Democrats should be doing
1:08:56
Speaker 1: the will of the American constituents who overwhelmingly think having
1:08:59
Speaker 1: a pho ID for a federal election is no big deal.
1:09:02
Speaker 1: It's not a problem. It's not Jim Crow two point zero.
1:09:05
Speaker 1: You can't even make that argument, really, even though Chuckie
1:09:07
Speaker 1: Schumer continues to make it now, bringing in women and
1:09:10
Speaker 1: insulting women at the same time, saying they're incapable of
1:09:12
Speaker 1: getting a photo I D. But you know, go back
1:09:14
Speaker 1: to Georgia where they did this. Remember MLB canceled the
1:09:17
Speaker 1: All Star Game because Evil Georgia was implementing Jim Crow
1:09:20
Speaker 1: two point zero. Right, Well, it implemented, it went through,
1:09:23
Speaker 1: it passed, and the following election, more black people showed
1:09:27
Speaker 1: up and voted in that one than any of them prior. Huh,
1:09:29
Speaker 1: I guess it didn't disenfranchise one of many of these
1:09:34
Speaker 1: issues that are on the wrong side of I do.
1:09:37
Speaker 1: Going back to the LGBTQ flag thing, you know, Chucky
1:09:40
Speaker 1: Schumer thinks it's really of vital importance for us to
1:09:43
Speaker 1: pass a law protecting the LGBTQ flag flying over national monuments,
1:09:50
Speaker 1: giving it the same status as the American flag. Is
1:09:53
Speaker 1: that really an issue a high priority for you?
1:09:55
Speaker 4: Why it?
1:09:55
Speaker 1: Maybe? But he would push for that amid the government
1:10:02
Speaker 1: shutdown that we're dealing with right now, while they're on
1:10:05
Speaker 1: vacation this week, and while they may very well amid
1:10:09
Speaker 1: cries of oh my god, the work of the Senate
1:10:12
Speaker 1: is going to be held up. If we have this
1:10:13
Speaker 1: speaking philibuster or the talking philibuster, they could be up
1:10:16
Speaker 1: there for weeks not doing their job. Yeah, And if
1:10:25
Speaker 1: the goal of a representative government that we have here,
1:10:29
Speaker 1: which we do, is to do the work of the constituents,
1:10:35
Speaker 1: then we wouldn't even have a government shutdown right now.
1:10:37
Speaker 1: The Save Act would already be passed. The will of
1:10:41
Speaker 1: seventy to eighty percent of the American public, regardless of
1:10:43
Speaker 1: political stribe, would be fulfilled. But no, they're fighting over
1:10:47
Speaker 1: the small twenty percent who can't see through the see
1:10:50
Speaker 1: the forest through the trees of this nonsensical argument that
1:10:53
Speaker 1: yet the Republicans are incident disenfranchising people. Okay, the other
1:11:00
Speaker 1: thing the Democrats seem to be on the wrong side
1:11:01
Speaker 1: of is in terms of the LGBQ too TQ thing. Again, apologies,
1:11:06
Speaker 1: I'm struggling the whole tea part the globe. The medical
1:11:13
Speaker 1: associations around the globe, countries recognized, you know, providers of
1:11:21
Speaker 1: healthcare are coming out against this whole concept of so
1:11:24
Speaker 1: called gender affirming care. Look, it turns out that we
1:11:28
Speaker 1: got it wrong, So perhaps are on the wrong side
1:11:33
Speaker 1: of that one. And then the whole idea that carbon
1:11:35
Speaker 1: dioxide is killing us, that argument seems to be going
1:11:37
Speaker 1: the way of the DODO as well. So we had
1:11:39
Speaker 1: this removal of the CAFE standard, the predicate for it anyway,
1:11:43
Speaker 1: saying that well, carbon dioxide is going to kill you,
1:11:46
Speaker 1: when in fact it's not. A pollutant, is a naturally
1:11:48
Speaker 1: occurring part of our atmosphere that plants dearly love more
1:11:52
Speaker 1: and more people moving away from that. Why the backcrap
1:11:54
Speaker 1: insanity that gets revealed when you pursue a zero carbon
1:11:56
Speaker 1: emission strategy. Look at the European Union, they're all comple
1:12:00
Speaker 1: playing about Russia and Ukraine and oh my god, we
1:12:02
Speaker 1: need more resources in there. Who's buying all the Russian
1:12:04
Speaker 1: gas they are? Why well, virtue signaling we don't want
1:12:08
Speaker 1: to do it ourselves. We're carbon neutral, but we'll buy
1:12:10
Speaker 1: stuff produced in well, people who don't care about carbon
1:12:14
Speaker 1: dioxide from those countries and imported here so we can
1:12:17
Speaker 1: say we're guilt free and still burn the gas while
1:12:20
Speaker 1: supporting the military efforts with Russia against Ukraine. Doesn't make
1:12:23
Speaker 1: any sense, does it. How about California, It's like they're
1:12:28
Speaker 1: taking a page out of the European Union's book. They imported
1:12:31
Speaker 1: a record number of gasoline in November. Why well, because
1:12:34
Speaker 1: they're closing refineries due too not market forces, mind you,
1:12:40
Speaker 1: manipulated market forces brought about by imposing strict regulations. Get
1:12:45
Speaker 1: a load of this. This is hard to believe. Over
1:12:47
Speaker 1: forty percent of imported gasoline into California comes from the Bahamas.
1:12:52
Speaker 1: Asian nations like Japan and India. Bloomberg News reporting on this,
1:12:59
Speaker 1: citing data from a company called VORTEXA harsh regulations imposed
1:13:04
Speaker 1: by California politicians read democrats, because I don't think there're
1:13:08
Speaker 1: any Republicans left in California anyway. They don't have any
1:13:11
Speaker 1: control if there are highest tax on gasoline in America,
1:13:19
Speaker 1: a cap and trade program for emissions, all of which
1:13:23
Speaker 1: result in rising energy costs across the state. Welcome to
1:13:26
Speaker 1: the most expensive gas in the entire nation, standing at
1:13:28
Speaker 1: five four dollars and fifty eight cents a gallon Californian.
1:13:31
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's more expensive elsewhere or in different areas
1:13:34
Speaker 1: of California. The national average two ninety two a gallon,
1:13:38
Speaker 1: with some areas reporting a gallon of gas at around
1:13:40
Speaker 1: two bucks a gallon. See no regulations versus the states
1:13:45
Speaker 1: with massive regulations. So you got two major refineries closing
1:13:50
Speaker 1: in California, Phillips sixty six winding down Voalero, getting ready
1:13:55
Speaker 1: to shut the Menisia facility, and doing it at a
1:13:58
Speaker 1: cost of one billion dollars. They actually paid a billion
1:14:05
Speaker 1: dollars to leave. CEO of America Energy Institute, Jason isaac
1:14:15
Speaker 1: He said, listen Valera didn't walk away from California lightly.
1:14:19
Speaker 1: It paid more than a billion dollars to leave. When
1:14:21
Speaker 1: a major refinery operator chooses a billion dollar write down
1:14:25
Speaker 1: over continued operation, that is a clear indictment of California's
1:14:28
Speaker 1: regulatory environment. Really shutting down a refiner to the surprise
1:14:34
Speaker 1: nearly nine percent of the state's gasoline while demand still exists,
1:14:41
Speaker 1: is not a transition strategy. It's a self inflicted supply shock.
1:14:46
Speaker 1: The predictable result is higher prices, greater volatility, and increase
1:14:50
Speaker 1: dependence on foreign fuel. See Europeans Union's relationship with weird relationship.
1:14:56
Speaker 1: I might add an interject with Russia. In California. Twenty
1:15:07
Speaker 1: twenty five, California imported more gasoline from the Bahamas than
1:15:10
Speaker 1: it had in the nine preceding years. Right, the regulatory
1:15:14
Speaker 1: burden is piling up on the refineries. The refineries are
1:15:17
Speaker 1: shutting down. Oh. Lack of interstate pipelines. Pipeline is also
1:15:23
Speaker 1: a problem. That's a problem everywhere Democrats run states. They
1:15:25
Speaker 1: don't like building pipelines in spite of the fact that
1:15:27
Speaker 1: it provides reliable, necessary gas. Most notably, when you get
1:15:31
Speaker 1: a massive snowstorm in the middle of winter, people end
1:15:34
Speaker 1: up dying because well, the lights aren't on, the heats
1:15:36
Speaker 1: not on. Maybe we could use another pipeline. Those pipelines
1:15:40
Speaker 1: get shut down a sub zero temperatures, I learned. So
1:15:46
Speaker 1: Bloomberg also reporting that you know, by the way, gas
1:15:49
Speaker 1: should probably or probably will go up another five to
1:15:51
Speaker 1: fifteen cents a gawn with the newest refinery closure in California. Also,
1:15:55
Speaker 1: oddly enough, not California requires a specific grade of gasoline
1:16:01
Speaker 1: right in order to meet their tough regulatory standards, you
1:16:03
Speaker 1: got to have a California mix, more expensive to produce
1:16:07
Speaker 1: and isn't produced by all refineries. I guess to rely
1:16:12
Speaker 1: on certain Asian nations to get their gasoline because they
1:16:14
Speaker 1: are equipped to supply the specific fuel for the state
1:16:17
Speaker 1: of California. Welcome to a financial benefit for the various
1:16:20
Speaker 1: Asian nations and the Bahamas, because well, California won't drill
1:16:23
Speaker 1: its own. This is crazy, and I think again, if
1:16:33
Speaker 1: I had to test the waters hold on my wet
1:16:35
Speaker 1: finger up in the air, I think fewer and fewer
1:16:38
Speaker 1: people are on the side of this idea. The carbon
1:16:43
Speaker 1: dioxide is killing us. And then there's that pesky thing
1:16:46
Speaker 1: called artificial intelligence. Soaking up massive quantities of power. Apparently
1:16:51
Speaker 1: we needed to survive in the world. You draw your
1:16:53
Speaker 1: own conclusions on that, but that's the word that's gotten out.
1:16:55
Speaker 1: We better be able to compete in AI. We need
1:16:58
Speaker 1: more AI centers of power gobblers, and of course the
1:17:01
Speaker 1: Trump administration is busily trying to get them to produce
1:17:04
Speaker 1: their own power and setting an example, Yeah, by powering
1:17:09
Speaker 1: US military base with these next gen nuclear reactors. They
1:17:13
Speaker 1: literally just flew one out, described as the first time
1:17:17
Speaker 1: a nuclear reactor was flown on a C seventeen Globe Master.
1:17:22
Speaker 1: They airlifted one the other day from March Air Air
1:17:26
Speaker 1: Reserve Base in California to Hill Air Force Base in Utah.
1:17:29
Speaker 1: Its ultimate destination the Utah sen refl Energy Lab for testing.
1:17:34
Speaker 1: They're going to use it to run military bases. That
1:17:38
Speaker 1: small reactor can generate five megawatts of power. That is
1:17:41
Speaker 1: enough power for five thousand homes. Michael P. Duffy, under
1:17:46
Speaker 1: Secretary of the War Departments of the Pentagon aims to
1:17:48
Speaker 1: build its own energy infrastructure to support future warfare demands
1:17:51
Speaker 1: that may include AI data centers, direct energy, weapons and
1:17:54
Speaker 1: space and cyber infrastructure. They got to go it alone.
1:17:57
Speaker 1: They can't rely on the grid. They need to be
1:17:58
Speaker 1: able to produce their own power, no kidding, as do
1:18:04
Speaker 1: the AI facilities. And last May, Trump signed for executive
1:18:09
Speaker 1: orders accelerating commercial nuclear energy development by right reducing industry
1:18:18
Speaker 1: regulations and fast tracting new reactors as well as power
1:18:21
Speaker 1: plant licenses, not windmills and solar panels. Energy generation that
1:18:30
Speaker 1: does well, energy generation, small footprint print, massive production AI
1:18:36
Speaker 1: facilities will be able to be powered and probably sufficient
1:18:39
Speaker 1: electricity generated from those commercial facilities to also well feed
1:18:43
Speaker 1: our emerging and growing demands out here in the world
1:18:46
Speaker 1: where we would just like to have our lights on,
1:18:47
Speaker 1: the heat on the wintertime, maybe the ac in the summer.
1:18:52
Speaker 1: Seven seventeen James, MISSISSIPI, James on the phone, If you
1:18:55
Speaker 1: don't mind holding for a moment, I'll be happy to
1:18:56
Speaker 1: take your call. I won't seven if you have to
1:19:00
Speaker 1: talk station We the people conventioned Tom's awastwunsked with a
1:19:03
Speaker 1: list of endorsements coming up next in the meantimes, Go
1:19:05
Speaker 1: to the phones, Mississippi, James, my friend, welcome back to
1:19:08
Speaker 1: the morning show. Happy Tuesday to you, sir.
1:19:11
Speaker 3: Hey, same to you. Come in peace, love everybody and
1:19:14
Speaker 3: there's nothing you can do about it.
1:19:16
Speaker 1: Good attitude.
1:19:17
Speaker 3: Hey, two quick things. The first one we get in
1:19:21
Speaker 3: a digital compass place was building here. Then they said
1:19:26
Speaker 3: they send it up to the clouds, one of those
1:19:29
Speaker 3: type places. And they at the meeting they said they
1:19:33
Speaker 3: need the equivalent of enough energy to operate five hundred
1:19:39
Speaker 3: super wallmarts'.
1:19:42
Speaker 4: That's a whole lot.
1:19:43
Speaker 1: That's a lot.
1:19:44
Speaker 3: They came to Meridian then seeked it out and it's say,
1:19:49
Speaker 3: we don't care about your politics, your crime, your schools,
1:19:53
Speaker 3: your economics. We just need power. So mischief a power
1:19:58
Speaker 3: company agreed to build them their own substation. Now, of
1:20:03
Speaker 3: course that circulating around how much is the common household
1:20:07
Speaker 3: bill gonna go up for this? But that's a hope.
1:20:11
Speaker 3: Now they claim supposed to bring about ten million dollars
1:20:17
Speaker 3: a year, and they expose a split it eagle between
1:20:20
Speaker 3: the city and the county, right, and each each year
1:20:24
Speaker 3: they add another ten up until the eighth year they're
1:20:27
Speaker 3: gonna have eight buildings built here. So you're talking about
1:20:31
Speaker 3: eighty million dollars coming in.
1:20:34
Speaker 1: That's a lot of money. Well, what's the population Meridian, James.
1:20:40
Speaker 3: We're right at thirty three thousand. Wow, And like I
1:20:44
Speaker 3: say the area they got is probably about five to
1:20:47
Speaker 3: six hundred square what you call it? Come about the
1:20:52
Speaker 3: space they take him. Yeah, yeah, about five to six
1:20:56
Speaker 3: hundred acres because you had two on one side in
1:21:00
Speaker 3: three some on the other side. So they shut down
1:21:03
Speaker 3: a major road, go through that area, combine it, and hey,
1:21:09
Speaker 3: that's where they're building it. Well, man, you talking about
1:21:12
Speaker 3: earth movers, the big dirt movers and all of that
1:21:15
Speaker 3: coming in. Yeah, a lot of activity going on.
1:21:19
Speaker 1: Well, it's a lot of construction jobs, at least in
1:21:21
Speaker 1: the short term. That's a nice positive boost in the arm.
1:21:23
Speaker 1: Maybe get some people involved in the trades and that
1:21:25
Speaker 1: would be a great thing. And maybe just maybe the
1:21:28
Speaker 1: allocation of Donald Trump's two point seven billion dollars which
1:21:32
Speaker 1: went to three companies for centterviews and processing plans. Maybe
1:21:35
Speaker 1: that's part of the grant money. I don't know how
1:21:37
Speaker 1: it's going to be paid for, but it's why I
1:21:39
Speaker 1: ask you the population of Meridian. I don't think they
1:21:41
Speaker 1: can expect the thirty three thousand population of Meridian to
1:21:44
Speaker 1: shoulder the burden of that massive artificial or massive plant there. James.
1:21:49
Speaker 1: It's got the money's gonna have to come from someplace else.
1:21:53
Speaker 3: Right, right, But that's still the conversation. How much is
1:21:57
Speaker 3: our bills going up on that?
1:21:59
Speaker 1: Well, I tell you what, let me just interject a
1:22:01
Speaker 1: dose of optimism. If they build a plant, and let's
1:22:05
Speaker 1: just say, theoretically you and the residence of Meritine are
1:22:09
Speaker 1: not obligated to pay for the building of the whole thing,
1:22:12
Speaker 1: it could be that your power price, Yet the price
1:22:15
Speaker 1: of electricity goes down. I mean, if they're generating a
1:22:18
Speaker 1: ton of electricity, which obviously they plan on doing, there
1:22:20
Speaker 1: may be a little spillover love from Meridian and the
1:22:23
Speaker 1: residents there, maybe at a discount rate. I'll keep my
1:22:26
Speaker 1: fingers crossed that that's possible. To James, That's why I'm
1:22:28
Speaker 1: excited about AI plants being forced to build their own
1:22:32
Speaker 1: or rely on their own small modular reactors of their
1:22:34
Speaker 1: own power production, because if they can satisfy their own
1:22:37
Speaker 1: internal demands, the likelihood that there's going to be extra
1:22:39
Speaker 1: power to share with the neighborhood generally is a good
1:22:43
Speaker 1: thing for all of us because the demand for electricity
1:22:46
Speaker 1: keeps going up, and of course the powers that be
1:22:48
Speaker 1: are very slow to try to meet those challenges in
1:22:52
Speaker 1: a real time basis, James, thank you so much and
1:22:54
Speaker 1: best of luck with your community. I want to say
1:22:57
Speaker 1: congratulations on the un score in the victory. Some may
1:23:00
Speaker 1: not look at it that way, but in thirty one
1:23:02
Speaker 1: here fifty five cars the talk station. Very happy Tuesday
1:23:05
Speaker 1: to you. Appreciate the assists this morning. Thank you to
1:23:10
Speaker 1: Christopher Smithman in the last hour helped me out as
1:23:13
Speaker 1: brain spins from chemo. Tom's Awastowski we the People Convention.
1:23:16
Speaker 1: You find one line of wee the People Convention dot org.
1:23:18
Speaker 1: Welcome back, Tom. I enjoy our conversations and so happy
1:23:20
Speaker 1: to see you on the rundown this morning, most notably
1:23:22
Speaker 1: since you brought with you a list of endorsed candidates
1:23:26
Speaker 1: for the primary. We're fast approaching the primary.
1:23:28
Speaker 6: Tom.
1:23:28
Speaker 1: Good to have you back on the show.
1:23:30
Speaker 6: Oh, great to be with you. Brian, And yeah, this
1:23:32
Speaker 6: is an interesting topic because of the Ohio Republican Party
1:23:36
Speaker 6: Central Committee meeting on Friday that where they're going to
1:23:40
Speaker 6: decide whether they're going to endorse some of these candidates
1:23:43
Speaker 6: or not. That should be quite an interesting meeting on Friday,
1:23:46
Speaker 6: for sure.
1:23:47
Speaker 1: Well, much of the chagrin of Casey Putsch was on
1:23:49
Speaker 1: the program. At least until he started cursing and melted
1:23:52
Speaker 1: down last week. The Republican Party has already endorsed v
1:23:55
Speaker 1: v Ramaswami, and I think he was insulted by that,
1:23:59
Speaker 1: and they, of course usually don't interject themselves early on
1:24:02
Speaker 1: in the decision making process. I guess I'm curious your
1:24:04
Speaker 1: reaction of how they went ahead in or why they
1:24:06
Speaker 1: may have went ahead and did that. And you obviously
1:24:09
Speaker 1: on the list here I see prominently upfront vive Ramaswam.
1:24:12
Speaker 1: He's got your endorsement.
1:24:14
Speaker 6: Yeah, Brian, I actually played a very significant role in
1:24:18
Speaker 6: the endorsement of the Vike last year last summer, and
1:24:23
Speaker 6: I did a video that I put out that basically
1:24:26
Speaker 6: made the case for endorsing VI Vike Ramaswami to stop
1:24:30
Speaker 6: the Columbus cartel for rigging the election for Jim Tressel,
1:24:36
Speaker 6: who I thought they were going to put up to
1:24:38
Speaker 6: run against them, And people can see that video at
1:24:41
Speaker 6: Ohio citizenspack dot org. But the people in the Central
1:24:45
Speaker 6: Committee actually said that the video I put forward really
1:24:49
Speaker 6: was what made the difference to convince them to endorse
1:24:51
Speaker 6: the Vike. And Brian, like you, I'm a tea party guy.
1:24:55
Speaker 6: I'm the leader of the Tea Party in Ohio for
1:24:57
Speaker 6: the last sixteen years. I hate in in primaries, there
1:25:02
Speaker 6: should be no endorsements. But the problem is it's it's
1:25:06
Speaker 6: always been a rig game, and he got to play
1:25:09
Speaker 6: the game to win. And we needed to have a
1:25:11
Speaker 6: vek Ramaswami, you know, as our candidate. And so that's
1:25:15
Speaker 6: why we acted to ask for his endorsement and fight
1:25:18
Speaker 6: for his endorsement, and we got it. And I'm I'm
1:25:21
Speaker 6: doing that again with people like Marcel Sturbas and and.
1:25:24
Speaker 1: People like that this week. Okay, and we'll get to
1:25:26
Speaker 1: Marcel Sturbage. I had him on the program last week.
1:25:28
Speaker 1: I was thoroughly impressed by Marcel. I mean man that
1:25:31
Speaker 1: is a man of conviction. He's firm on the issues,
1:25:33
Speaker 1: he knows where he's coming from, he's strong. So but
1:25:36
Speaker 1: in terms of vik Ramaswamy, I based upon and only,
1:25:40
Speaker 1: and this is not scientific whatsoever. I see a lot
1:25:43
Speaker 1: of what seems to be a mounting concern over the
1:25:46
Speaker 1: fact that vivik Ramaswami happens to be a Hindu and
1:25:50
Speaker 1: not Christian, and as if that somehow might impact his
1:25:53
Speaker 1: politics or how he's going to run the state of Ohio. Tom,
1:25:56
Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong. Last time I checked, we
1:25:57
Speaker 1: don't live in a theocracy. I mean, individual religion is
1:26:01
Speaker 1: should have real, no material impact on how he or
1:26:05
Speaker 1: she governs. But maybe I'm wrong on that. Do you
1:26:08
Speaker 1: think Vivek is having an uphill challenge merely because he
1:26:10
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be Christian?
1:26:12
Speaker 6: There definitely are you know, people out there who are
1:26:16
Speaker 6: expressing that opinion, and many of them are friends of mine.
1:26:19
Speaker 6: Many of them are people I've worked with for years
1:26:22
Speaker 6: who are on the religious right. And I said to them, hey, guys,
1:26:26
Speaker 6: every time you see someone getting attacked because they're a
1:26:30
Speaker 6: Christian who running for office, you you know, you runs
1:26:33
Speaker 6: into defense and say they shouldn't be, you know, judged
1:26:35
Speaker 6: by their Christian values. And now you're turning around and
1:26:38
Speaker 6: trying to tell me that vik Ramaswami should be judged
1:26:41
Speaker 6: on his Christian values. I said, don't you know it's
1:26:44
Speaker 6: a little hypocritical. Let's look at the man he's not
1:26:46
Speaker 6: going to become governor and the man that we teach
1:26:49
Speaker 6: Hindu in every pre K school in the state of Ohio.
1:26:53
Speaker 6: So those are the kind of things that you and
1:26:55
Speaker 6: I have to talk about and get people to just
1:26:59
Speaker 6: relax and you know, focus on the issues and the
1:27:02
Speaker 6: person and not use those kind of things to just
1:27:06
Speaker 6: really distort your view of what you're voting on. You
1:27:09
Speaker 6: you're voting on what's best for Ohio and really you're
1:27:12
Speaker 6: voting on what's best for you personally. And when you
1:27:15
Speaker 6: listen to with vivek Ramaswami has to say, man, there's
1:27:18
Speaker 6: a lot of stuff he's saying, it's best for you personally.
1:27:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, and anybody speaking his platform, if you just ignored
1:27:27
Speaker 1: the person uttering the words, you be screaming cheers of
1:27:30
Speaker 1: excitement for that person that happens to be you know,
1:27:34
Speaker 1: a statement's made in a campaign pledge from someone who
1:27:36
Speaker 1: happens to be into. But then again, I'll go back
1:27:38
Speaker 1: to the fact that he can't make me worship any
1:27:40
Speaker 1: particular religion, nor can he you know, enact in or
1:27:42
Speaker 1: enshrine in law any given religion. So I think what
1:27:45
Speaker 1: he stands, where he stands on all the issues is
1:27:48
Speaker 1: rock solid, at least in so far as conservative politics.
1:27:53
Speaker 6: It's what you and I have won it for how
1:27:55
Speaker 6: about a years? Well now I want to endure it.
1:28:01
Speaker 1: Limited government, free markets, right, Tom z Awastowski, we the people.
1:28:05
Speaker 6: Yeah, we don't want that because he's a Hindu and
1:28:08
Speaker 6: George Jarrows paid for his internship.
1:28:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got to ask you. Apparently everyone who speaks
1:28:12
Speaker 1: on we have of VVK is getting paid. Are you
1:28:14
Speaker 1: getting a check from vv Ramaswami, Tom, because I'm not.
1:28:17
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that that was an option was out
1:28:19
Speaker 1: there and available for people.
1:28:21
Speaker 6: I have not gotten a time from vi veke Ramaswami,
1:28:23
Speaker 6: but I'm working my butt off for him, and I
1:28:25
Speaker 6: think there's some good things we're going to be able
1:28:27
Speaker 6: to do together. So yeah, I thought my enborsement of
1:28:31
Speaker 6: him was pretty clear, and if people go to Ohio
1:28:34
Speaker 6: citizenspack dot org, they can read it, and I think
1:28:37
Speaker 6: it'll make a lot of sense to them out. I'm
1:28:39
Speaker 6: trying to say, this is the once in a lifetime chance,
1:28:42
Speaker 6: The only chance we ever had to overcome the Columbus
1:28:46
Speaker 6: cartel was to have someone like Trump who could self fund,
1:28:50
Speaker 6: because then they can't own him. That's the vike Ramaswami
1:28:54
Speaker 6: a man.
1:28:54
Speaker 1: That is an excellent, excellent point. We'll continue with Tom Zawastaski,
1:28:57
Speaker 1: who's next on the list, Oh, Marcel Sturvey as well
1:29:00
Speaker 1: as Christina Rugner and others. More endorsements from We the
1:29:03
Speaker 1: People Convention after these brief words starting with station seven
1:29:10
Speaker 1: forty one. If you have KARCD talk station, We the
1:29:12
Speaker 1: People Convention dot org shre we find Tom z Awastowski
1:29:15
Speaker 1: and we got a list of endorsements coming from Tom
1:29:18
Speaker 1: and the crew Michael or Marcel Sturvich who was on
1:29:21
Speaker 1: my program last week. And I was thoroughly impressed by him,
1:29:24
Speaker 1: not just his outstanding military record of twenty years, but
1:29:28
Speaker 1: very very confident. He's got a good record. He's man
1:29:33
Speaker 1: of integrity. He certainly does not pull punches when it
1:29:37
Speaker 1: comes to where he is on the positions. So again
1:29:40
Speaker 1: impressed by him. But I know that you the People
1:29:43
Speaker 1: Convention folks, his opponent, Robert Spragge, you endorsed him in
1:29:47
Speaker 1: the past. Why not this time? Tom za Awastowski, what's
1:29:51
Speaker 1: the difference?
1:29:53
Speaker 6: Well, you know, first of all, I heard your interview
1:29:55
Speaker 6: with Marcel, and I encourage your listeners to go back
1:29:58
Speaker 6: to the archives and listen. Was one of the tightest,
1:30:01
Speaker 6: you know, presentations by a candidate I may have ever
1:30:04
Speaker 6: heard on the radio. That was an awesome job. And
1:30:07
Speaker 6: uh and and and that's you know what people should
1:30:09
Speaker 6: look at. The Central Committee should listen to that. So
1:30:11
Speaker 6: here's the difference. Roberts Rigg's a great guy. He's he's
1:30:15
Speaker 6: he's a very you know, he's not a he's he's
1:30:18
Speaker 6: a politician, but he's he's also you know, a likable guy.
1:30:21
Speaker 6: He's efficient, you know, he does his job, but he's
1:30:24
Speaker 6: not an expert in election integrity. Marcel Sturbrige is. And
1:30:29
Speaker 6: I say the opening line of my endorsement is Marcell
1:30:31
Speaker 6: Sturbrige was the most it may be the most qualified
1:30:34
Speaker 6: person to run for statewide political office that we've ever met.
1:30:38
Speaker 6: And I think that's true if you think back yourself,
1:30:41
Speaker 6: right to all the people you and I talked to
1:30:43
Speaker 6: and endorsed and stuff. They're good people. They're competent, but
1:30:46
Speaker 6: they're not experts at what they do. I mean, some
1:30:49
Speaker 6: of the people are treasures maybe wherever accountants, some of
1:30:51
Speaker 6: the attorney generals were lawyers. But this guy is an
1:30:55
Speaker 6: expert at at election law and that's why they should
1:30:59
Speaker 6: pick him. And I tried to make the case for
1:31:01
Speaker 6: the Central Committee to endorse him this Friday, but that's
1:31:05
Speaker 6: probably unlikely because he's an outsider, just like the vekas
1:31:11
Speaker 6: and they're going to have our time with that, and
1:31:13
Speaker 6: you showed that in your interview with them. You know
1:31:15
Speaker 6: that being an outsider is a threat.
1:31:17
Speaker 1: Well, I guess it is, but hey, they overcame that
1:31:20
Speaker 1: challenge when it came to endorsing Vivi Ramaswamy. I think
1:31:22
Speaker 1: it can be done again, so I don't even think
1:31:25
Speaker 1: against Robert Sprague necessarily. But as you pointed out, it
1:31:28
Speaker 1: is tough to match Marcel Stirwich's game when it comes
1:31:31
Speaker 1: to talking issues and his knowledge on important subject matter
1:31:35
Speaker 1: over which he'd have a lot of control in that position,
1:31:37
Speaker 1: pivoting over we the people canvention endorsement Christina Rogner for
1:31:42
Speaker 1: SEC Ohio State Treasurer. Let my listeners know about Christina.
1:31:48
Speaker 6: Well, Christina is she's actually from the Akron area. She
1:31:52
Speaker 6: was in the House, she's a senator currently. She's a
1:31:55
Speaker 6: real player in the Ohio Right the Life movement. She's
1:31:59
Speaker 6: been a very strong advocate for you know, right to
1:32:02
Speaker 6: life issues. She's very well known statewide in religious circles.
1:32:07
Speaker 6: But I point out in my endorsement that she actually
1:32:11
Speaker 6: is really qualified because she has an MBA degree in
1:32:15
Speaker 6: finance and she worked for the global management company Mackenzie
1:32:20
Speaker 6: and Company. And so she actually would be a good
1:32:23
Speaker 6: treasure because she knows you know, accounting and stuff. Wow,
1:32:27
Speaker 6: what a con stuff. But most of all, she is
1:32:30
Speaker 6: just a person of unbelievable integrity. I mean, Christina Rougner
1:32:34
Speaker 6: is as rock solid as anyone you talk about a
1:32:37
Speaker 6: non politician. She will she does not blow with the wind.
1:32:41
Speaker 6: She does not, you know, compromise her values to get
1:32:44
Speaker 6: your vote. She is who she is. What's astonishing to me,
1:32:48
Speaker 6: and I think that you, Brian, is that Bernie Marino
1:32:52
Speaker 6: and jd Vance has have endorsed this Jay Edwards guy
1:32:57
Speaker 6: who the Ohio Republican Party antioned what two years ago
1:33:02
Speaker 6: because he's part of the Blue twenty two who took
1:33:04
Speaker 6: Democrat Union money to steal the House speakership from us.
1:33:09
Speaker 6: And here's Jade Vance and Bernie Marino endorsing him against
1:33:13
Speaker 6: Christina Rogner. What the hell? Okay, So you know, I
1:33:18
Speaker 6: asked people to look closely because Christina Rogner is so
1:33:22
Speaker 6: much better than Jay Edwards. And I just don't know
1:33:24
Speaker 6: because I'm friends at Bernie Marino. You know, Bernie and
1:33:27
Speaker 6: I are pretty close. I don't get it. But look
1:33:29
Speaker 6: at the list of endorsements from Christina. I mean it's
1:33:32
Speaker 6: Rob McCauley, the Center President, it's Matt Husband, the House Speaker,
1:33:36
Speaker 6: it's you know, a whole list of I think Frank L.
1:33:40
Speaker 6: Rose and others have endorsed her. So I hope she's
1:33:42
Speaker 6: going to get the endorsement and she's gonna win that treasures.
1:33:46
Speaker 1: Well, you just announced those endorsements for her from other
1:33:50
Speaker 1: very noted notables in their Republican Party. Obviously maybe a
1:33:52
Speaker 1: foil to Bernie Marina's endorsement. I'm not sure that came
1:33:55
Speaker 1: from perhaps many many people just don't even remember who
1:33:58
Speaker 1: the Blue twenty two are. A short attention span theater
1:34:01
Speaker 1: these days, Tom, that is certainly a possibility, and name
1:34:04
Speaker 1: recognition me sort of trump the whole idea that while
1:34:07
Speaker 1: the guy was a Blue twenty two, who knows, get
1:34:10
Speaker 1: your popcorn out wait for it, they're gonna be voting
1:34:11
Speaker 1: on it. Friday, seven forty six, we'll continue. You got
1:34:14
Speaker 1: a few more including John Houston made the list, Eric
1:34:16
Speaker 1: Marin and Carrie Carrie Coleman more talk station seven to fifty.
1:34:22
Speaker 1: Here if you got KROCD talk station Brian Thomas with
1:34:24
Speaker 1: We the People Convention Dot orgs Tomas Awastowski going through
1:34:28
Speaker 1: the Ohio citizens Pack endorsements, which you can find online
1:34:32
Speaker 1: at Ohio citizenspack dot org. Moving over, they got you
1:34:36
Speaker 1: got the endorsement or you gave the endorsement to John
1:34:38
Speaker 1: Houston for US Senator. That really doesn't come as much
1:34:41
Speaker 1: of a surprise to me.
1:34:44
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, what choice do we have? But I do,
1:34:47
Speaker 6: you know, make some pretty strong statements that I think
1:34:49
Speaker 6: you agree in my endorsement where I'm saying, listen, we've
1:34:53
Speaker 6: had lots of problems with John Houston from the grassroots standpoint,
1:34:56
Speaker 6: particularly during COVID, But as I said previously, we're voting
1:35:00
Speaker 6: for what's in our best interest, and what's in our
1:35:03
Speaker 6: best interest is for us to keep that Senate seat
1:35:06
Speaker 6: at all costs. So regardless of what your problems are
1:35:08
Speaker 6: with John Houston, you know we sure as heck don't
1:35:11
Speaker 6: want shared brown right back in the Senate. And so
1:35:14
Speaker 6: it's real simple, folks, You got to vote for your
1:35:17
Speaker 6: own best interests. We got to protect President Trump and
1:35:19
Speaker 6: our mega agenda. That's why we endorse John Houston.
1:35:22
Speaker 1: Don't throw out the good for the sake of the perfect, right, Tom,
1:35:26
Speaker 1: that's right personally, especially when the good. Throwing out the
1:35:30
Speaker 1: good will result in Yes, that's anyway. Derek Maren's got
1:35:35
Speaker 1: the endorsement as well from wtpc US House in the
1:35:38
Speaker 1: ninth district.
1:35:40
Speaker 6: Yeah, and this is a this is an interesting thing.
1:35:43
Speaker 6: Lots of you know, dynamic of political insider stuff going
1:35:46
Speaker 6: on there. The ninth district is the Marcy Kaptor district.
1:35:50
Speaker 6: She's what you know, been there for forty some years.
1:35:52
Speaker 6: We should have won that seat two years ago we
1:35:55
Speaker 6: lost by like three percent. Derek Maren was the candidate.
1:35:58
Speaker 6: And so, uh, they redistrict and this affects you in
1:36:02
Speaker 6: the first and I want to hear your comments about
1:36:05
Speaker 6: the guys in the first because you notice I didn't
1:36:06
Speaker 6: endorse anybody yet. But when they redistrict did they were
1:36:10
Speaker 6: supposed to redistrict the ninth, the thirteenth, which is Akron
1:36:14
Speaker 6: area in Canton, and then the first so that we
1:36:17
Speaker 6: could win all three of those seats.
1:36:18
Speaker 2: Well, they didn't do that.
1:36:20
Speaker 7: I didn't do that.
1:36:20
Speaker 6: They really redistricted the ninth up in Toledo to make
1:36:24
Speaker 6: it like a plus and Republican district. And Rob McCauley
1:36:28
Speaker 6: was supposed to run it before he took the Lieutenant
1:36:31
Speaker 6: governor's position, you know, with a veke to run for
1:36:33
Speaker 6: with the dake. So then I'm like, Okay, Derek Maron
1:36:37
Speaker 6: is leading in the polls. He ran last time, he
1:36:39
Speaker 6: lost the close race. It's a better district. Dereck Marin's
1:36:42
Speaker 6: a guy. Oh no, no, no, Shazam Bob, you know
1:36:47
Speaker 6: paduccik Okay, who is a political opera of the state
1:36:51
Speaker 6: who it's all about, you know, making the money. He
1:36:54
Speaker 6: just brings this twenty eight year old girl who's never
1:36:57
Speaker 6: run for political office ever before, and announces that she's
1:37:02
Speaker 6: going to be on the ballot in the ninth district.
1:37:05
Speaker 6: And two days after that announcement comes out and we
1:37:07
Speaker 6: don't know this person from Adam. She's on Laura Trump's
1:37:11
Speaker 6: TV show on Saturday on Fox, and I'm like, what
1:37:15
Speaker 6: the heck is going on? And I'm thinking, is Trump
1:37:18
Speaker 6: gonna endorse this this total political unknown and take Derek
1:37:23
Speaker 6: wearing out. I hope that's not going to happen. Trump
1:37:26
Speaker 6: hasn't endorsed that person yet. But Derek maren is leading
1:37:30
Speaker 6: captor in the polls. He's leading the primary field in
1:37:33
Speaker 6: the polls, and we think he's the best candidate to
1:37:36
Speaker 6: beat Marcy Captor, so we've endorsed him, but always political
1:37:39
Speaker 6: intrigue because it's all about the money, Brian, It's not
1:37:42
Speaker 6: about you know, what's best for our country or our state.
1:37:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, isn't that the truth? Follow the money and you'll
1:37:47
Speaker 1: find the answer usually in most cases. And finally, you've
1:37:50
Speaker 1: endorse Carrie Coleman for the US House thirteenth District. Give
1:37:55
Speaker 1: us an insight about mister Coleman.
1:37:57
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's a one of your brethren. He's a radio
1:38:00
Speaker 6: guy at WNRI WNR in Porge County, but he's also
1:38:04
Speaker 6: he's a weather meteorologist. He's been on the Weather Channel
1:38:07
Speaker 6: and he's been on some of the Cleveland TV stations
1:38:09
Speaker 6: for quite a long career. And like I said, we
1:38:13
Speaker 6: were supposed to redistrict the thirteenth so that we could
1:38:17
Speaker 6: win it, and they didn't. They actually gave the Sykes
1:38:23
Speaker 6: woman whose father has to be Vernon Sykes, who happens
1:38:27
Speaker 6: to be the big power in the Democratic Party. Yeah.
1:38:29
Speaker 6: As part of the deal the redistrict the Captor ninth district,
1:38:34
Speaker 6: they gave the Democrats more seats in the thirteenth instead
1:38:37
Speaker 6: of less. So we had a great candidate, Kevin Lachlan
1:38:43
Speaker 6: who ran last time and he just dropped out. He said,
1:38:46
Speaker 6: if you're going to do that to me, I'm not
1:38:47
Speaker 6: going to do it. So Carrie Coleman, a local radio guy,
1:38:51
Speaker 6: has stepped up and said he's going to run. It's
1:38:53
Speaker 6: a dark horse situation, but he's a good guy, he's
1:38:57
Speaker 6: a good candy. He's going to work hard and what's
1:38:59
Speaker 6: going to determine is really what Trump and Congress does.
1:39:02
Speaker 6: If they do the things that they are expected to
1:39:05
Speaker 6: do for the economy, we might be able to steal
1:39:08
Speaker 6: that seat.
1:39:09
Speaker 1: Amen, brother, I'm with you all day longer that Tom Zawastowski,
1:39:11

Speaker 1: and every time we start this segment to remind folks
1:39:32
Speaker 1: you got to bookmark the site. It's a valuable site
1:39:34
Speaker 1: to do so I use in preparation for the morning
1:39:36
Speaker 1: show b R E. I t b a r T
1:39:39
Speaker 1: dot com, where you're gonna find Deputy Political Politics editor
1:39:41
Speaker 1: Bradley Jay writing some great stuff every single day. Welcome
1:39:44
Speaker 1: back to the fifty five Carse Morning Show. Bradley J.
1:39:46
Speaker 1: It's always a pleasure talking with.
1:39:47
Speaker 4: You, Brian, It's great to be with you. Thank you.
1:39:50
Speaker 1: So let me let me let me just make sure
1:39:52
Speaker 1: I'm straight on this whole thing. So with the government shutdown,
1:39:54
Speaker 1: at least in part, the whole thing is predicated on
1:39:57
Speaker 1: this Save Act, which is a photo id reques vironment
1:40:00
Speaker 1: for federal elections. There is a law on the books
1:40:03
Speaker 1: which says you must be a US citizen to vote
1:40:05
Speaker 1: in a federal election. So this doesn't really change anything much,
1:40:08
Speaker 1: but it does ensure that people who are voting are
1:40:10
Speaker 1: who they say they are. And this, as we all know,
1:40:12
Speaker 1: is widely embraced by the vast majority of Americans of
1:40:15
Speaker 1: all political stripes, races, creeds, and callers like a seventy
1:40:18
Speaker 1: thirty or eighty twenty issue. So they're shutting. They shut
1:40:22
Speaker 1: the government down for this, and aren't they all? Also
1:40:25
Speaker 1: the Senate on recess this week as well, so they're
1:40:27
Speaker 1: really not doing anything.
1:40:30
Speaker 4: The Senate, I believe comes back in today the houses
1:40:32
Speaker 4: in recent House.
1:40:33
Speaker 3: But yeah, the.
1:40:36
Speaker 10: At least a twelfth of the government or one of
1:40:38
Speaker 10: the twelve appropriations bills is lapsed right now, so Homeland
1:40:43
Speaker 10: Security is technically in a government shut down right now.
1:40:47
Speaker 4: That Stephen Miller and.
1:40:49
Speaker 10: Other of the President's advisors were prudent enough when passing
1:40:52
Speaker 10: the Big Beautiful Bill to include a surge of funding
1:40:56
Speaker 10: for many of the DHS FUNK, including ice border patrol,
1:41:03
Speaker 10: so much of that is going forward. In addition, I
1:41:07
Speaker 10: believe about ninety percent of Homeland Security is considered essential,
1:41:14
Speaker 10: so it's continuing to go forward like most of you know,
1:41:17
Speaker 10: your TSA, your Coast Guard, your FEMA, so a lot
1:41:22
Speaker 10: most of what is encapsulated in this funding is moving forward.
1:41:25
Speaker 10: It's just another example of the Democrats just pandering to
1:41:29
Speaker 10: the radical base that controls them that's calling all the
1:41:32
Speaker 10: shots for tux humor, because as you say, they will
1:41:35
Speaker 10: do anything to try to prevent any sorts of changes
1:41:41
Speaker 10: that would either kick illegals out of the country or
1:41:45
Speaker 10: stop them from voting.
1:41:46
Speaker 4: It's really really is remarkable.
1:41:48
Speaker 1: Is completely remarkable, which leaves us in the weird situation
1:41:51
Speaker 1: I guess sent of the Majority leader John thom is
1:41:54
Speaker 1: going to maybe push him toward the talking slash standing filibuster.
1:41:59
Speaker 1: They could do the nuclear option, which is getting rid
1:42:02
Speaker 1: of the sixty vote threshold to move the legislation forward,
1:42:04
Speaker 1: noting that the House has already passed the Save Act.
1:42:07
Speaker 1: This is in the sentence hands now, So he's not
1:42:10
Speaker 1: he's indicated he's not keen on doing that, and I
1:42:12
Speaker 1: guess for some reason I understand it. But flipping over
1:42:15
Speaker 1: to the talking slash standing filibuster, that means they have
1:42:19
Speaker 1: to hold the floor basically until they relinquish. This is
1:42:23
Speaker 1: just talking NonStop for one after another after another until
1:42:28
Speaker 1: one side capitulates. Is that really what this boils down to?
1:42:31
Speaker 1: Bradley Jay?
1:42:34
Speaker 10: So, look, brad I was a Senate staffer for about
1:42:37
Speaker 10: seven years or so back in the day. The most
1:42:40
Speaker 10: valuable commodity in the United States Senate is the calendar.
1:42:44
Speaker 10: Is such a big deal because there are all there
1:42:46
Speaker 10: are all these mechanisms that senators have to hold hold
1:42:50
Speaker 10: up the proceedings. It's it's many of the rules are
1:42:54
Speaker 10: anachronistic in old fashioned. They work, but it's very compleated
1:43:00
Speaker 10: and convoluted. The way that what we call the filibuster
1:43:04
Speaker 10: works today, it's really it's an inappropriate use of it.
1:43:11
Speaker 10: I think our founders would say, there is what is
1:43:14
Speaker 10: now a sixty vote requirement. It used to be sixty
1:43:17
Speaker 10: seven at one point, I believe it was eighty many
1:43:19
Speaker 10: many years ago. But to move to a bill, you
1:43:23
Speaker 10: have what's called or to move towards either a vote
1:43:25
Speaker 10: on final passage or to move towards a vote on consideration,
1:43:29
Speaker 10: you have what's called a cloture vote. The way that
1:43:33
Speaker 10: that works is you have to have now sixty people
1:43:36
Speaker 10: vote to say, well, we are finished debating this. We've
1:43:40
Speaker 10: talked it out. Every side has either four or against,
1:43:44
Speaker 10: has spoken as much as they want to, so let's
1:43:47
Speaker 10: move to cloture. Let's move towards actually voting on the thing. Well,
1:43:53
Speaker 10: but the way that people do that now, even whether
1:43:55
Speaker 10: or not they're debating, whether they're talking or not, they
1:43:58
Speaker 10: will just cast vote saying yeah, no, I haven't fully
1:44:02
Speaker 10: expressed my opinions on this, I want to talk about
1:44:05
Speaker 10: it a little bit more, even if they haven't been
1:44:07
Speaker 10: on the floor to talk about it. It's not the
1:44:09
Speaker 10: way that the Senate is supposed to work. So what
1:44:11
Speaker 10: these conservatives are now proposing is well, okay, put your
1:44:14
Speaker 10: money where your mouth is.
1:44:16
Speaker 4: If you say that you want to debate this more,
1:44:19
Speaker 4: you actually have to be on the floor to debate it.
1:44:23
Speaker 10: You have to be down on the floor doing this
1:44:25
Speaker 10: whole Mister Smith goes to Washington style filibuster where you're
1:44:28
Speaker 10: actually talking. If you and your buddies want to continue
1:44:33
Speaker 10: to block this from coming to the floor, you have
1:44:35
Speaker 10: to actually vote. Now, that takes a lot of time,
1:44:38
Speaker 10: and I won't spend a.
1:44:42
Speaker 4: Day explaining that.
1:44:43
Speaker 10: The actual rule twenty two of the Senate that governs it,
1:44:46
Speaker 10: but it can eat in two weeks of the Senate's calendar.
1:44:51
Speaker 4: That's what happened.
1:44:52
Speaker 10: You think of like the civil rights legislation back in
1:44:55
Speaker 10: the sixties and the fifties, when those debates were going
1:44:58
Speaker 10: on most of the time that those were killed before
1:45:01
Speaker 10: ultimately being passed. It is just because these senators ate
1:45:05
Speaker 10: so much of the Senate's time that the Senate leader said,
1:45:07
Speaker 10: you know, there's other things that they want to do.
1:45:09
Speaker 4: So that's what the one of the proposals is.
1:45:12
Speaker 5: Now.
1:45:12
Speaker 10: I'm a little bit skeptical that senators will do anything
1:45:16
Speaker 10: to change the rules, even these Republicans who would like
1:45:19
Speaker 10: to see the Save Act pass because so many of
1:45:22
Speaker 10: them uphold the traditions of the Senate, even if all
1:45:25
Speaker 10: these Democrats have cast aside and the whole game has
1:45:28
Speaker 10: changed right now, so it's critically important they pass the
1:45:31
Speaker 10: Save Act, and I hope they do whatever it's necessary.
1:45:33
Speaker 4: I would say, even if.
1:45:34
Speaker 10: They go as far as changing the filibuster, because as
1:45:37
Speaker 10: soon as Democrats get in power, they will change that.
1:45:40
Speaker 10: The only reason they didn't a couple of years ago
1:45:43
Speaker 10: is because Cinema and Mansion to independents who Caucus and
1:45:46
Speaker 10: Democrats and are now no longer in the Senate voted
1:45:50
Speaker 10: against it.
1:45:50
Speaker 4: But they'll do it the first chance they get.
1:45:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I keep hearing that, And of course, if
1:45:54
Speaker 1: history's any guide, that's certainly what's going to happen, or
1:45:57
Speaker 1: at least is likely going to happen. So of right now,
1:46:00
Speaker 1: at least Republicans keeping with traditions sixty votes for closure
1:46:03
Speaker 1: if they did it that way, and that would foreclose
1:46:07
Speaker 1: any additional amendments. In other words, we've discussed the bill,
1:46:10
Speaker 1: it's in front of us, we are voting to advance it.
1:46:12
Speaker 1: This is what we're voting on. We're not going to
1:46:14
Speaker 1: do any amendments. It's a straight vote. Am I right
1:46:16
Speaker 1: on that?
1:46:18
Speaker 4: That is one interpretation of the rules.
1:46:20
Speaker 10: But there again, this is kind of breaking new ground,
1:46:23
Speaker 10: and that's one of the reasons why so many of
1:46:25
Speaker 10: these old buddy duddy senators are so uncomfortable with it.
1:46:29
Speaker 1: But if they do this talking standing filibuster, that will
1:46:33
Speaker 1: open it up well without I don't suppose there's any
1:46:36
Speaker 1: argument that would open up to unlimited amendments, meaning they
1:46:38
Speaker 1: have to discuss every amendment or at least vote on
1:46:42
Speaker 1: every amendment that comes up.
1:46:45
Speaker 10: Well, so much of the Senate is proceeds again because
1:46:48
Speaker 10: there are so many time restrictions, so much of what
1:46:51
Speaker 10: is done in the Senate proceeds through yuanimous consent. That
1:46:55
Speaker 10: is how And it was really LBJ who is the
1:46:58
Speaker 10: first to wield the animous consent in a new way
1:47:03
Speaker 10: in the Senate. And that's really what governs the modern Senate.
1:47:06
Speaker 10: So if one, if all one hundred senators agreed to
1:47:12
Speaker 10: say that the sky is purple, they could do that
1:47:16
Speaker 10: in the Senate. So there are some potential workarounds to that,
1:47:21
Speaker 10: but it would I don't want to say break the
1:47:24
Speaker 10: current Senate. But doing things this way would open it
1:47:27
Speaker 10: up to an entirely different way of doing things and
1:47:30
Speaker 10: moving forward just the daily business. So it's kind of
1:47:36
Speaker 10: a venture into the unknown.
1:47:37
Speaker 4: Brian.
1:47:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, going back to the Senate not
1:47:40
Speaker 1: being able to get its work done and we've got
1:47:41
Speaker 1: more important things to do. That's almost like even a
1:47:43
Speaker 1: laughable suggestion. And I'm sorry to be so jaded and
1:47:45
Speaker 1: cynical with regard to the Senate's work, but they really
1:47:48
Speaker 1: don't seem all that fired up about doing work when
1:47:50
Speaker 1: they're there. So the idea that they get bogged down
1:47:53
Speaker 1: in this people standing up and it's not debate, it's
1:47:56
Speaker 1: not advancement with the proposition. It's merely standing up and
1:47:58
Speaker 1: filling time most reading phone books and reading cookbooks and
1:48:02
Speaker 1: doing stupid things just to keep their mouths flapping without
1:48:05
Speaker 1: even saying anything by way of advancing the debate.
1:48:09
Speaker 4: You're exactly right.
1:48:09
Speaker 10: And the Senate, it was once called the world's greatest
1:48:12
Speaker 10: legislative body, the world's greatest deliberated body.
1:48:15
Speaker 4: It's not any war. I'll give you an example.
1:48:17
Speaker 10: When the record was set for the so called filibuster
1:48:23
Speaker 10: just last year, it was by Corey Booker who spoke
1:48:26
Speaker 10: on the floor for.
1:48:26
Speaker 4: Twenty five hours.
1:48:27
Speaker 10: He wasn't even filibustering anything. He wasn't even trying to
1:48:31
Speaker 10: stop any legislation from moving forward.
1:48:34
Speaker 4: He was just giving a long speech. And now they
1:48:36
Speaker 4: call a long speech a filibuster.
1:48:38
Speaker 10: But that's indicative of the seriousness with which the Senate
1:48:42
Speaker 10: legislates right now. And another point about the calendar, anytime
1:48:45
Speaker 10: of the majority leader says if there's something that they say, oh, well, yeah,
1:48:48
Speaker 10: we'd like to get to that.
1:48:49
Speaker 4: There's some business that we're going to get to first,
1:48:51
Speaker 4: but we're going to get to that.
1:48:53
Speaker 10: No, they're just stalling for time because they know that
1:48:55
Speaker 10: the way that the Senate calendar works, anything that they
1:48:58
Speaker 10: push until the end, there won't be an appetite in
1:49:01
Speaker 10: the Senate to deal with that because of the time,
1:49:05
Speaker 10: so that there will just be a vote for cloture
1:49:07
Speaker 10: or against cloture to kill it. The standing filibuster would
1:49:12
Speaker 10: be a powerful push back against that tool that fun
1:49:17
Speaker 10: is now using, and that other Majority leaders before him
1:49:20
Speaker 10: have used so effectively by just pushing things to the end.
1:49:23
Speaker 10: If they actually cared about something like the Save Act
1:49:25
Speaker 10: or something that they seditate wanted to get passed, they'd
1:49:30
Speaker 10: move it up and actually address it and when it
1:49:33
Speaker 10: comes up, and not postponent to kill it.
1:49:35
Speaker 1: Now Bradley JA Deputy Politics saor bright Bart, I realize
1:49:38
Speaker 1: you and I are politically biased. Nobody their cousin the
1:49:40
Speaker 1: companies is shocked anyone, But no, I look at this issue,
1:49:44
Speaker 1: and let's say they move forward the standing filibuster, and
1:49:47
Speaker 1: they spin their wheels and read their phone books and
1:49:48
Speaker 1: go through all this time. I guess I'm wondering what
1:49:50
Speaker 1: the perception in the reaction of the American people are
1:49:52
Speaker 1: going to be, particularly given, as we point out time
1:49:55
Speaker 1: and time and time again, this is a seventy thirty
1:49:58
Speaker 1: eighty twenty issue with the vast majority of am Americans
1:50:00
Speaker 1: of all political stripes being in favor of the photo
1:50:02
Speaker 1: ID and also being insulted when Chucky Schumer comes out
1:50:05
Speaker 1: and tells people they're too damn stupid to be able
1:50:07
Speaker 1: to get a photo ID. That's a losing argument. So
1:50:11
Speaker 1: this exercise and this stupidity of reading phone books, I
1:50:16
Speaker 1: guess maybe I'm just being cautiously or overly optimistic. I
1:50:19
Speaker 1: can't believe it would resonate positively for the Democrats among
1:50:23
Speaker 1: the American people. Your response to out of your your thoughts,
1:50:26
Speaker 1: Bradley Jay, Well, yeah, you're right.
1:50:29
Speaker 10: A few poll came out recently with eighty three percent
1:50:32
Speaker 10: of Americans I believe in support of voter ID.
1:50:35
Speaker 4: I mean, it's pretty common sense.
1:50:37
Speaker 10: If the standing filibuster was put into action to pass
1:50:41
Speaker 10: the save back, I think most Americans would say.
1:50:44
Speaker 4: Yet, well, that makes a lot of sense. But here's
1:50:46
Speaker 4: the thing.
1:50:47
Speaker 10: The Democrat Party the actual individual voters, and this cuts
1:50:51
Speaker 10: across demographics. We're talking about seventy plus percent of different
1:50:56
Speaker 10: minority groups who support voter ID. However, that is the
1:51:01
Speaker 10: Democrat voters. The Democrat politicians do not support it, even
1:51:06
Speaker 10: though their voters do.
1:51:07
Speaker 4: Now, why would that be.
1:51:08
Speaker 10: Brian, I think that we both know the answer that
1:51:10
Speaker 10: it's because, Well, they say that this is about voter suppression.
1:51:16
Speaker 4: It's not about voter suppression.
1:51:18
Speaker 10: It is about it is about voter suppression if you
1:51:20
Speaker 10: mean suppressing illegals from being able to vote.
1:51:24
Speaker 4: In American elections.
1:51:25
Speaker 10: You and I can't vote in France's elections or Somalia's elections.
1:51:29
Speaker 10: Do they even have elections in Somalia. I don't know
1:51:31
Speaker 10: if they're capable. But this is about keep making sure
1:51:35
Speaker 10: Americans vote. What the Save Act does is to register
1:51:38
Speaker 10: to vote, you have to show a passport or some
1:51:42
Speaker 10: other like a birth certificate or something like that, and
1:51:45
Speaker 10: then going forward you have to show a government ide
1:51:48
Speaker 10: with a photo. That's very yeah, yeah, it's it's very
1:51:52
Speaker 10: very much common sense. Most Americans support it that little.
1:51:56
Speaker 10: The group that doesn't is on capill and its Democrat politicians,
1:52:02
Speaker 10: because they know that if these illegals, the people voting
1:52:05
Speaker 10: in our elections who are not allowed to people voting
1:52:08
Speaker 10: in multiple jurisdictions, multiple states, if that was done away with,
1:52:12
Speaker 10: they would lose their power. And I can't think of
1:52:16
Speaker 10: anything more appropriate and to do away with the filibuster then,
1:52:24
Speaker 10: and anything more fitting than a vote on the say
1:52:27
Speaker 10: that that would do just so much to actually restore
1:52:30
Speaker 10: integrity to America's elections, or maybe introduce it for the
1:52:33
Speaker 10: first time.
1:52:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bradley, Jay, you made an excellent distinction between the
1:52:36
Speaker 1: Democrat Party and the Democrats who actually are the ones voting.
1:52:40
Speaker 1: The Democrat Party the ones is scream bloody hell about
1:52:43
Speaker 1: threat to democracy. Even though we live in a republic,
1:52:45
Speaker 1: constitution of republic, it's a representative form of government. And
1:52:48
Speaker 1: if eighty percent of their own people want this, and
1:52:51
Speaker 1: they're saying, no, I'm going to shut the government down
1:52:53
Speaker 1: over basically trying to make it easy for illegal immigrants
1:52:56
Speaker 1: to vote. I have a feeling that they are a
1:52:58
Speaker 1: greater threat to the Republic than the Republicans are, are there, Bradley,
1:53:02
Speaker 1: that's a.
1:53:02
Speaker 4: Really good point.
1:53:03
Speaker 10: Yeah, Democrats get all all Burkeian when they when they
1:53:06
Speaker 10: talk about this issue, and uh, but you hit them
1:53:09
Speaker 10: in the fact, in the face with the facts and
1:53:11
Speaker 10: the polling and that their own voters support that. Uh,
1:53:14
Speaker 10: they have a hard time, harder time hiding behind there.
1:53:17
Speaker 10: Uh this faux paternalism where they say that, oh, well, uh,
1:53:22
Speaker 10: this would be a violation of the Nineteenth Amendment because
1:53:25
Speaker 10: of a woman has different her married name is different
1:53:29
Speaker 10: from her from her certificate, and and minorities have trouble
1:53:34
Speaker 10: getting photo id you. I mean, like it's it's really pathetic,
1:53:37
Speaker 10: And I mean I would be insulted if I was
1:53:40
Speaker 10: a woman and her minority and my Democrat politicians were
1:53:43
Speaker 10: telling me that I didn't have the.
1:53:45
Speaker 4: The wherewithal of the ability to to do what every
1:53:49
Speaker 4: other American sistent has no problem doing.
1:53:51
Speaker 6: But that's that's the party of the day.
1:53:54
Speaker 1: It is totally insulting across the board. Bradley j W

Speaker 1: always look forward to this time. Special things go on

Speaker 1: on a Tuesday here in the fifty five CAURSSY Morning Show,
1:54:32

1:54:35
Speaker 1: time to hear Daniel Davis with a Daniel Davis a
1:54:38
Speaker 1: Deep Dive youtitle looking at the Colonel of Daniel Davis
1:54:40
Speaker 1: breaking down the situation today in Iran, the latest in
1:54:43
Speaker 1: Russia and Ukraine. Welcome back, my friend. It's always great
1:54:45
Speaker 1: having you on the morning show.
1:54:46
Speaker 4: Sir.
1:54:47
Speaker 9: Always a pleasure to be here, Brian, if you.
1:54:49
Speaker 1: Don't mind, let's start with Iran. I know we have
1:54:51
Speaker 1: talked so many times, and I share your concern about
1:54:55
Speaker 1: launching a military strike on Iran. This is regime change.
1:54:58
Speaker 1: You've outlined many times, how unbelievably explosive, no pun intended.
1:55:04
Speaker 1: This would be military bases at risk. The Iranians have
1:55:07
Speaker 1: a lot of missiles, they can launch a lot of
1:55:09
Speaker 1: targets close by they can hit. It's going to be
1:55:11
Speaker 1: real chaotic, it's going to be very bloody, and we're
1:55:13
Speaker 1: going to lose a lot of human life doing this.
1:55:17
Speaker 1: And of course I back off and start with the
1:55:19
Speaker 1: problem that well, I would like to have a declaration
1:55:21
Speaker 1: of war from Congress before we start dropping bombs and
1:55:23
Speaker 1: entering regime change. But that pesky constitution is always going
1:55:26
Speaker 1: to be in the background. But as I read the
1:55:28
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal today Jared Maslin reporting on the economic
1:55:32
Speaker 1: situation going on in Iran, is it possible that these
1:55:35
Speaker 1: long term sanctions, which are apparently seriously impacting the Iranians,
1:55:41
Speaker 1: might be the mechanism to go about bringing about a
1:55:43
Speaker 1: resolution for this, maybe getting some concessions from the Iranians
1:55:46
Speaker 1: on missiles, maybe get them to concede on the nuclear
1:55:49
Speaker 1: enrichment program what we've been looking for, at least what
1:55:51
Speaker 1: we say we're looking for, because basically their currency has tanked.
1:55:56
Speaker 1: Shopkeepers can't sell goods at a profit, people can't afford anything.
1:56:00
Speaker 1: There is a massive amount of economic uncertainty because of
1:56:04
Speaker 1: that looming potential military threat. With two carrier groups hanging
1:56:08
Speaker 1: out in their backyard. I mean, there's a lot of
1:56:10
Speaker 1: pressure on them, but economically it is a miserable situation
1:56:14
Speaker 1: going on Iron right now. Is this maybe a pathway
1:56:16
Speaker 1: to a non warfare resolution of the conflict? I hate
1:56:20
Speaker 1: to throw it at you that way, but that's where
1:56:22
Speaker 1: I am this morning.
1:56:22
Speaker 9: Daniel No, Well, I got we got to start off
1:56:24
Speaker 9: first of all and say what is the conflict resolution
1:56:27
Speaker 9: terms that we want? And you know, some people claim,
1:56:31
Speaker 9: because that's some of the terms that are being tossed around,
1:56:34
Speaker 9: is is no long range missiles, no support for the proxies,
1:56:38
Speaker 9: and no nuclear Richmond. But I think that's just a canard.
1:56:41
Speaker 9: I don't think that that's the issue at all. I
1:56:43
Speaker 9: think that the reason why people are on the side
1:56:46
Speaker 9: that warre saying that and a lot of that it
1:56:49
Speaker 9: comes out of israel Is because they know that Iran
1:56:53
Speaker 9: can't apply abide by those, so they're just using that
1:56:56
Speaker 9: as reason to show then will when the fails. Talking
1:56:58
Speaker 9: they're in Geneva today talking about that, then they can say, well,
1:57:01
Speaker 9: we tried everything and now here we go, we're going
1:57:03
Speaker 9: to have a regime change. To answer your direct question
1:57:05
Speaker 9: about the economics, first of all, it's important that Bessett
1:57:10
Speaker 9: went on before the Congress and explained that the only
1:57:13
Speaker 9: reason that they're in such dire economic conditions today is
1:57:17
Speaker 9: because we intentionally sank their currency for the purpose of
1:57:21
Speaker 9: causing this riot that happened. So we're trying to do
1:57:25
Speaker 9: that to bring them to that point. But the answer
1:57:28
Speaker 9: is that Iran can't agree to those because if they do,
1:57:32
Speaker 9: it's literal suicide, and they have acknowledged such. Because if
1:57:35
Speaker 9: they don't have long range missiles, they can't defend themselves
1:57:38
Speaker 9: and they are utterly powerless to be completely pulverized and
1:57:41
Speaker 9: destroyed by Israel or the United States in a future day,
1:57:44
Speaker 9: So they can't do that. No matter how bad the
1:57:46
Speaker 9: economy is. They will they will, I mean eat sand
1:57:50
Speaker 9: if they have to. For pardon the pun but it
1:57:53
Speaker 9: is a literal life and death issue for them, so
1:57:55
Speaker 9: there is no chance that they can agree to that.
1:57:57
Speaker 9: And therefore I think we're pursuing the own option than
1:58:00
Speaker 9: there is, which Mark Tiessen on Fox News last night said, Look,
1:58:04
Speaker 9: this is the issue for Iran, and he said it correctly,
1:58:07
Speaker 9: submission or destruction. And I think that's the intent, and
1:58:11
Speaker 9: I think he's right on that. I think the idea
1:58:13
Speaker 9: is horribly flawed because we're basically sitting the conditions war
1:58:17
Speaker 9: is the only option. But he's rot that's what we're
1:58:19
Speaker 9: offering Iran.
1:58:20
Speaker 1: Well indulge me for a moment, if I may engage
1:58:23
Speaker 1: in fantasy land here, Davis, this they can't capitulate. Does
1:58:29
Speaker 1: that spring from the legitimate fear over Israel attacking them?
1:58:34
Speaker 1: Does it spring from the religious fundamentalism against Israel Jewish
1:58:37
Speaker 1: people generally speaking? Is? I guess? I know they instilled
1:58:41
Speaker 1: the iatola back in what was it seventy nine? They
1:58:44
Speaker 1: have a very fundamentalist religious order going on there. So
1:58:47
Speaker 1: is that the predicate for it? Because here's where you
1:58:49
Speaker 1: need to indulge me in my fantasy. Let's just say,
1:58:51
Speaker 1: for the sake of discussion that they realize that they're
1:58:54
Speaker 1: over a barrel economically. They realize that now maybe they're
1:58:57
Speaker 1: outgun militarily. They don't want to get into a war
1:58:59
Speaker 1: per eat end of store because of all the loss
1:59:01
Speaker 1: of life. Fine, let's just say theoretically you could get
1:59:05
Speaker 1: them to enter into something like the Abraham Accords, where
1:59:08
Speaker 1: we want you to be a nice, let's play together neighbor.
1:59:11
Speaker 1: Like other countries who had a predisposition to be against Israel,
1:59:14
Speaker 1: they've come into the playground. They're enjoying the benefits of
1:59:16
Speaker 1: a comfortable relationship without having a wage war. Listen, that
1:59:19
Speaker 1: could be you. We don't want to attack you, we
1:59:21
Speaker 1: don't want to kick anybody out. We just want you
1:59:23
Speaker 1: to not bomb us anymore and live in peace and harmony.
1:59:26
Speaker 1: I know it's a pipe dream, but if you could
1:59:28
Speaker 1: convince them that, then they wouldn't be giving up anything.
1:59:31
Speaker 1: They could still control their country, they just wouldn't be
1:59:33
Speaker 1: engaging in proxy wars and fundamental funding terrorism. I know
1:59:37
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. Well, here's the problem with that.
1:59:41
Speaker 9: Iran wants to do that. They are pleading with anyone
1:59:46
Speaker 9: who will listen to include this morning on some some
1:59:50
Speaker 9: of the shows that are coming out of the Middle
1:59:51
Speaker 9: East today. That's why they're going to Geneva to talk.
1:59:54
Speaker 9: They still want that very outcome and they are pleading
1:59:57
Speaker 9: with President Trump to get it. The problem is Israel
2:00:01
Speaker 9: doesn't want that, so they do because it for what
2:00:04
Speaker 9: lack it or hate it. Israel has apparently decided that
2:00:07
Speaker 9: the Net and Yahoo on down. It's not just him,
2:00:10
Speaker 9: but they said they cannot live with Iran existing, so
2:00:13
Speaker 9: the only thing they would be satisfied with is the
2:00:16
Speaker 9: destruction of Iran. And look, Iran doesn't live to attack
2:00:19
Speaker 9: other countries, despot That's what's claimed all the time. And
2:00:21
Speaker 9: when you look at the actual record, they never launched
2:00:25
Speaker 9: any attack directly into Israel until twenty twenty four in
2:00:29
Speaker 9: response to what they were attacked, meaning from nineteen seventy
2:00:32
Speaker 9: nine up until twenty twenty four, they had never attacked
2:00:35
Speaker 9: Israel directly. So this idea of death to Israel and
2:00:38
Speaker 9: death to America and all that kind of stuff, that
2:00:40
Speaker 9: is a political slogan because they have been attacked, especially
2:00:44
Speaker 9: since twenty ten forward, by Israel into Iran. So it's
2:00:48
Speaker 9: a defensive measure and that's the reality of it.
2:00:51
Speaker 1: Well, and of course the argument Israel would make and
2:00:53
Speaker 1: I suppose we along with Israel, since it's such a
2:00:55
Speaker 1: good friend of ours. Is that well, okay, maybe you
2:00:58
Speaker 1: haven't directly attacked Israel, but Hesbala and Jimas and these
2:01:01
Speaker 1: other terrorist organizations. Have you just basically waging a proxy
2:01:04
Speaker 1: war using those chuckleheads as your military force?
2:01:08
Speaker 5: Right?
2:01:09
Speaker 9: Absolutely, yes, And that is what a lot of people claim.
2:01:11
Speaker 9: But they claim the opposite or the contrary to that too,
2:01:14
Speaker 9: and they say that you have been attacking all of
2:01:16
Speaker 9: these places here, and we have to raise these up
2:01:19
Speaker 9: because like a lot of this happened in response to
2:01:21
Speaker 9: Israeli incursion into Lebanon. That's where Hasbola came from, not
2:01:25
Speaker 9: just out of nowhere. They came in as a response
2:01:27
Speaker 9: to the Israeli incursion, and that came up, and then
2:01:30
Speaker 9: the hoo Thies of course, they were attacked by Israel
2:01:33
Speaker 9: and Saudi Arabia, of course, and that's one of the
2:01:36
Speaker 9: reasons there too. So to them it's a matter of
2:01:38
Speaker 9: chicken egg kind of thing. And both sides think that, well,
2:01:41
Speaker 9: ours originated first, and then you came and did this
2:01:43
Speaker 9: other thing, etc.
2:01:45
Speaker 1: And vice versa.
2:01:46
Speaker 9: And so you have a situation right now where both
2:01:48
Speaker 9: sides have profound distrust from the other side, and something's
2:01:52
Speaker 9: got to change if we're ever going to live in peace,
2:01:54
Speaker 9: and both sides have to accept the existence of the other.
2:01:57
Speaker 9: That means Iran has to accept the issue existence of
2:02:00
Speaker 9: Israel and vice versa. And right now I don't see
2:02:03
Speaker 9: either party willing to do what's necessary, and so war
2:02:06
Speaker 9: seems to be the only thing left.
2:02:09
Speaker 1: Well, if the United States refocused its effort on Israel,
2:02:13
Speaker 1: saying listen, Israel, your hardline stance on eradicating Iran, it's
2:02:17
Speaker 1: a non starter. Look what's happened here, Look what we're doing.
2:02:20
Speaker 1: And I would argue, at least, I think Daniel Davis
2:02:22
Speaker 1: from my perspective, if that were, if this military action
2:02:26
Speaker 1: were to occur, and apparently we're going to be involved
2:02:28
Speaker 1: with it, we risk destabilizing the Middle East in so
2:02:30
Speaker 1: far as wrecking the progress we made with the Middle East.
2:02:33
Speaker 1: Abraham Accord countries, because I have a feeling that they
2:02:37
Speaker 1: don't want this conflict to start either.
2:02:39
Speaker 9: You are one hundred percent spot on correct. That is
2:02:42
Speaker 9: exactly right. If the United States just used its leverage
2:02:46
Speaker 9: on Israel and said, look I get it, y'all hate
2:02:49
Speaker 9: each other, I can understand that, but we're not going
2:02:51
Speaker 9: to get into a situation where the US military, a
2:02:55
Speaker 9: third of our entire US Navy is a raid right
2:02:58
Speaker 9: now and a good portion of our air power throughout
2:03:00
Speaker 9: the Middle East to do what Israel wants to do
2:03:02
Speaker 9: in Iran, and we're talking about taking the lead, even
2:03:05
Speaker 9: not even cooperating, and we are going to be the
2:03:08
Speaker 9: ones that take the line's share of casualties. And we
2:03:11
Speaker 9: should not take these casualties on something that may not
2:03:13
Speaker 9: even succeed, because understand that Iran to succeed has to
2:03:18
Speaker 9: just not be destroyed. All they've got to do is survive. We,
2:03:21
Speaker 9: on the other hand, have to have a victory, so
2:03:24
Speaker 9: our standards are much much higher and much more difficult
2:03:27
Speaker 9: to achieve. We should not risk that because it would
2:03:30
Speaker 9: destabilize the region. And you are also right on the
2:03:33
Speaker 9: fact that I'm talking to Saudi Arabi u a e Qatar,
2:03:36
Speaker 9: all these people who have in the tea with Iran
2:03:39
Speaker 9: said that would They don't want the instability that would
2:03:43
Speaker 9: come along with that. So yes, there is a lot
2:03:45
Speaker 9: of room to do exactly what you said, and that's
2:03:47
Speaker 9: what President Trump should do in my view.
2:03:49
Speaker 1: Okay, it sounds like a logical and reasonable step or
2:03:51
Speaker 1: measure to take before we go into a full on war.
2:03:55
Speaker 1: Daniel Davis Daniel Davis Deep Diye find his podcast wherever
2:03:58
Speaker 1: you find your podcast, and of course tune in Tuesday.
2:04:00
Speaker 1: At this time, the Kremlin said, look, well he will
2:04:05
Speaker 1: halt airstrikes if Zelenski allows to vote okay for one day.
2:04:08
Speaker 1: During the vote, they will halt airstrikes. So it doesn't
2:04:10
Speaker 1: seem to be much of a concession, and I think
2:04:12
Speaker 1: it's a logical and reasonable thing for them to say.
2:04:14
Speaker 1: But meanwhile, Zelenski is asking for you the United States
2:04:19
Speaker 1: to back security guarantees, and it sounds to me like
2:04:21
Speaker 1: this is putting the car before the horse, or vice versa.
2:04:25
Speaker 1: Some are suggesting, I think Donald Trump is suggesting, No,
2:04:27
Speaker 1: we need to work out these land swaps. We need
2:04:29
Speaker 1: to get the territorial discussions resolved in a discussion over
2:04:34
Speaker 1: piece before we can entertain the idea of whatever, if
2:04:37
Speaker 1: any security guarantee we're going to be providing in terms
2:04:41
Speaker 1: of the negotiation strategy. I'm a little confused on that.
2:04:43
Speaker 1: But if we are going to be providing some security guarantee,
2:04:47
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, uh, okay, this looks like we're gonna have
2:04:50
Speaker 1: boots on the ground and we're going to be trying
2:04:52
Speaker 1: to keep the peace between you know, Ukraine and Rush
2:04:54
Speaker 1: on a going forward basis. I don't want to bite
2:04:56
Speaker 1: off that challenge. I think we're a little short on
2:04:58
Speaker 1: money generally speaking, a military resources generally Daniel Davis, So
2:05:02
Speaker 1: where is this going, if anywhere, sir YEA.
2:05:05
Speaker 9: Where it's going to is a military defeat for Ukraine
2:05:08
Speaker 9: and a military victory for Russia. That's where it's heading
2:05:10
Speaker 9: because the West at large, and primarily that means Ukraine
2:05:13
Speaker 9: and Europe are almost guaranteeing that's going to be the
2:05:16
Speaker 9: outcome because they will not agree to the things that
2:05:19
Speaker 9: Russia has been saying from twenty twenty two forward April
2:05:22
Speaker 9: twenty twenty two forward what has to happen to bring
2:05:25
Speaker 9: this war to an end, and they've never changed their conditions.
2:05:29
Speaker 9: Number one is the territory that you mentioned. Number two
2:05:32
Speaker 9: is what they call denocification, demilitarization and no NATO that
2:05:37
Speaker 9: those are the things that they say are the core
2:05:40
Speaker 9: causes of the war and that they have to be resolved.
2:05:42
Speaker 9: Ukraine and Europe are saying we're not going to solve
2:05:45
Speaker 9: any of those. In fact, we're going to have a
2:05:46
Speaker 9: bigger army at the end than we did at the beginning.
2:05:50
Speaker 9: Nobody's going to tell us anything about what's going to
2:05:52
Speaker 9: happen with the governing. We'll have our own elections, but
2:05:55
Speaker 9: we're going to have everything that we want and no
2:05:57
Speaker 9: one's going to tell us differently. And then we want
2:05:58
Speaker 9: security guarantees with European boots on the ground in Ukraine,
2:06:02
Speaker 9: which is a complete non starter. That's why Russia went
2:06:05
Speaker 9: to war in the first place, to avoid ergo. They
2:06:08
Speaker 9: will never willingly agree to that. So if you can't
2:06:11
Speaker 9: even get past that first fundamental point, then the only
2:06:14
Speaker 9: option left to Russia is to continue its military operation
2:06:18
Speaker 9: until it eventually succeeds, and eventually they will just by
2:06:22
Speaker 9: inertia and overall force of numbers. It's a math problem,
2:06:26
Speaker 9: and Ukraine in Europe seem oblivious to it.
2:06:29
Speaker 1: I don't understand, and this has been the ongoing problem
2:06:31
Speaker 1: you and I've been struggling with for a long long time.
2:06:33
Speaker 1: Where's this magical new army going to come from? Daniel Davis?
2:06:38
Speaker 4: Yeah, you just look at the numbers.
2:06:40
Speaker 9: France and Germany and uk are the primary people we're
2:06:43
Speaker 9: talking about here, and if you took all and I
2:06:46
Speaker 9: mean all of their deployable force, you might get sixty
2:06:49
Speaker 9: seventy thousand. And are those countries going to completely denude
2:06:52
Speaker 9: themselves of their defense capability by putting them on the
2:06:56
Speaker 9: ground in Ukraine? I mean that's even theoretical, look that
2:06:59
Speaker 9: if they ever got into but you see that even numerically,
2:07:02
Speaker 9: why would they do that? And how would they afford
2:07:04
Speaker 9: that indefinitely? I mean there's where's the money.
2:07:07
Speaker 4: Going to come from it?
2:07:08
Speaker 9: It's irrational even from their perspective. And yet that's where
2:07:12
Speaker 9: we are.
2:07:12
Speaker 1: Well maybe as long as they had the United States
2:07:14
Speaker 1: sitting military bases in their backyard, they'll expect us to
2:07:16
Speaker 1: be their police force while they send their troops to Ukraine.
2:07:19
Speaker 9: Just the thought, oh well, ruby out the kobosh on
2:07:23
Speaker 9: that in Munich for sure, thinking that this is the
2:07:27
Speaker 9: reason why what value do we have being a member
2:07:29
Speaker 9: of NATO if they don't even have an army to
2:07:31
Speaker 9: defend themselves, or US pursuing to a defense treaty, it's
2:07:34
Speaker 9: just a Daniel Davis always love talking with you man.
2:07:38
Speaker 1: Every Tuesday here fifty five krs the talk station beginning
2:07:41
Speaker 1: at a thirty The Daniel Davis Deep Dive again search

2:07:51
Speaker 1: Take care. He forty two Right now I fifty five
2:07:53
Speaker 1: kr CD talk station. Joe opened up the phone lines.
2:07:55
Speaker 1: You want to call in in comment, love to hear
2:07:57
Speaker 1: from you. Help save me for the rest of them.
2:08:00
Speaker 1: At eight on a Tuesday, Happy one to you tomorrow.
2:08:05
Speaker 1: Jack Avadan returns with a big picture and of course
2:08:08
Speaker 1: Judge Aneredopolitano. On a Wednesday, here at the fifty five
2:08:11
Speaker 1: KRSY Morning Show, I'm gonna up over the phones see
2:08:13
Speaker 1: what Jay's got this morning. Hey, j thanks for calling.
2:08:15
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show.
2:08:17
Speaker 11: Hey, good morning, Brian. Hey do you remember a few
2:08:20
Speaker 11: years back, Hank Thompson, I think the guy's name is
2:08:23
Speaker 11: Congressman was concerned about the island of Guam was going
2:08:27
Speaker 11: to capsize. We didn't like spread the military out better.
2:08:30
Speaker 1: Yeah that yeah, of course his name came up. Go ahead, No,
2:08:36
Speaker 1: I'll just say, of course I do. I can never
2:08:38
Speaker 1: unforget that one. He serves as my greatest illustration of
2:08:41
Speaker 1: why you and I should never ever ever put faith
2:08:44
Speaker 1: in our elected officials, because many times they're just outright
2:08:48
Speaker 1: idiots and don't know anything they're talking about. Jay, But
2:08:51
Speaker 1: go ahead.
2:08:52
Speaker 11: Well, I think he may have redeemed himself a little
2:08:55
Speaker 11: bit because I see his name as in the Epstein files,
2:08:58
Speaker 11: which means I think he must have if he was
2:09:02
Speaker 11: on Epstein's island, he overcame his fear of islands capsizing.
2:09:06
Speaker 11: So I am proudly disprayanted to displaying my T shirt
2:09:09
Speaker 11: that says Hank Thompson strong. Good for him? And how
2:09:14
Speaker 11: good must something be on Epstein Island to attract a
2:09:17
Speaker 11: man who was afraid of an island capsizing? Oh, do
2:09:20
Speaker 11: potentially be there?
2:09:23
Speaker 1: So the question should have been characterized rather than if
2:09:25
Speaker 1: we put more military installations on gwam and more buildings
2:09:29
Speaker 1: on gwams, do we run the risk of it capsizing?
2:09:32
Speaker 1: It should be if we put more teenage girls on
2:09:34
Speaker 1: Epstein Island does it run the risk of capsizing?
2:09:38
Speaker 11: Well, he certainly overcame his fear whenever it was teenage girls.
2:09:41
Speaker 11: I should see him trepidaciously stepping off that airplane off
2:09:45
Speaker 11: of Epstein's airplane. Well so, so kudos do Hank Thompson.
2:09:50
Speaker 11: Maybe we can add this to your merchandise store. You know,
2:09:52
Speaker 11: we talked before about having a shoelace and call that
2:09:55
Speaker 11: a fifty five arc ankle bracelet. I think Hank Thompson's
2:09:58
Speaker 11: strong T shirt would.
2:09:59
Speaker 3: Go with that.
2:10:01
Speaker 1: I'd love the idea and I appreciate the levity as
2:10:03
Speaker 1: we end the morning show today on this Tuesday, Jay,
2:10:06
Speaker 1: thank you very much, which also allows me an opportunity
2:10:09
Speaker 1: to spring forward and add her to the list who
2:10:11
Speaker 1: her Alexandero Casio Cortes yep, vying with Representative Thompson, perhaps
2:10:18
Speaker 1: the dumbest person in Congress. Anyway. You may have seen this.
2:10:27
Speaker 1: She's at the Munich Security Conference. Yes, Alexander Casio Cortes
2:10:33
Speaker 1: in New York, displaying her well geopolitical chops. Question, would
2:10:44
Speaker 1: and should the United States commit troops to defend Taiwan
2:10:46
Speaker 1: if China were to move on the island democracy straightforward question,
2:10:53
Speaker 1: one of many politicians have to field on a regular basis.
2:10:56
Speaker 1: Recognizing that she'd be dealing with international affairs and geopolitical matters,
2:11:00
Speaker 1: she exposed herself to this type of question. I think
2:11:02
Speaker 1: it's certainly a fair game question. All right, ma'am, you've
2:11:05
Speaker 1: expressed political aspirations. You want to be a president of
2:11:08
Speaker 1: the United States of America. Let's talk about uh, your
2:11:11
Speaker 1: your diplomatic jobs, would and should the United States commit
2:11:14
Speaker 1: troops to defend Taiwan if China were to move on
2:11:16
Speaker 1: the island democracy ready translate for me? If you will answer?
2:11:24
Speaker 1: And as I've read this, I did not see the quote,
2:11:27
Speaker 1: but apparently, at least in court of the recounting for
2:11:29
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal, it took over thirty seconds to
2:11:32
Speaker 1: provide this response.
2:11:35
Speaker 3: Um.
2:11:36
Speaker 1: You know, I think that, uh, this is such a
2:11:40
Speaker 1: you know, I think that this is a um, this
2:11:43
Speaker 1: is of course a very long standing um policy of
2:11:47
Speaker 1: the United States.
2:11:48
Speaker 3: Uh.
2:11:49
Speaker 1: And I think what we are hoping for is that
2:11:51
Speaker 1: we want to make sure that we never get to
2:11:53
Speaker 1: that point, and we want to make sure that we
2:11:56
Speaker 1: are moving in all of our economic research and our
2:11:58
Speaker 1: global positions to avoid any such confrontation. And for that
2:12:03
Speaker 1: question to even arise close quote crystal clear, isn't it? Wow?
2:12:16
Speaker 1: I think that speaks volumes volumes anyhow, just one of
2:12:23
Speaker 1: many fun soundbites from maybe next President the United States
2:12:26
Speaker 1: of America. Alexander Casio Cortez, and the journal points out,
2:12:29
Speaker 1: we could be in a real word to hurt if
2:12:30
Speaker 1: that could happen. The can conclude with American allies are
2:12:34
Speaker 1: weary of having to put out mister Trump's diplomatic fires,
2:12:37
Speaker 1: from Greenland to capricious tariffs, but navigating a turbulent Trump
2:12:41
Speaker 1: term may be remembered as the House as halcyon days
2:12:45
Speaker 1: for the free world if the United States ends up
2:12:48
Speaker 1: with President aoc A and that anyhow, uh So, we're okay,
2:12:57
Speaker 1: we're shut down. It's all over. Save act of a
2:13:00
Speaker 1: majority of Americans won it. And I'm going to go
2:13:01
Speaker 1: back to my commedy made earlier. Democrats screaming Donald Trump
2:13:04
Speaker 1: is a threat to democracy, threat to democracy, threat to democracy.
2:13:07
Speaker 1: They're shutting down. They shut down the government at least
2:13:09
Speaker 1: part of it. They're standing firm, insulting people of color
2:13:14
Speaker 1: and women, minorities, generally speaking, the poor. Everyone's lumped into
2:13:18
Speaker 1: the category that they're incapable of getting a photo ID
2:13:21
Speaker 1: when all of them at least I'm overwhelming a bunch
2:13:23
Speaker 1: of them saying no, I can get one. Look, I've
2:13:25
Speaker 1: got one. Christophers Smitheman was on this morning it, reviinded him.
2:13:29
Speaker 1: I was a member of the NAACP back when he
2:13:31
Speaker 1: was president. I had to present my photo ID to
2:13:34
Speaker 1: ORC to a vote in the Cincinnti chapter of the
2:13:36
Speaker 1: NAACP election to vote for Christopher Smitheman. That rule still
2:13:40
Speaker 1: in effect, apparently not a problem, and of course the
2:13:43
Speaker 1: polling reveals that it isn't a problem for the vast
2:13:45
Speaker 1: majority of black people and women and other minorities. They
2:13:48
Speaker 1: can get the ID. Is this the hill the Democrats
2:13:51
Speaker 1: are going to die on? Are we going to be
2:13:53
Speaker 1: listening to a speaking filibuster, a standing filibuster for the
2:13:57
Speaker 1: next I don't know how many weeks over this. If
2:14:04
Speaker 1: they are in fact in favor of the republic that
2:14:06
Speaker 1: we are in and that they are in belief of,
2:14:09
Speaker 1: and think that Donald Trump represents some threat to the
2:14:11
Speaker 1: representative form of democracy we actually have here, not a
2:14:14
Speaker 1: real democracy, but a representative democracy, then they're the ones
2:14:17
Speaker 1: that are ruining it. Rarely, I mean, how often these
2:14:20
Speaker 1: days does something come across this so fully supported as bipartisan. Hell,
2:14:25
Speaker 1: the mainstream media will describe a bill as bipartisan if
2:14:29
Speaker 1: you get two Republicans to join with the Democrats or
2:14:31
Speaker 1: vice versa. Oh, look, two Democrats join with the Republicans.
2:14:34
Speaker 1: It's bipartisan. But when you have seventy to eighty percent
2:14:38
Speaker 1: of people of both, well, I'll say both political stripes
2:14:40
Speaker 1: of all political stripes, regardless of race or ethnicity or
2:14:43
Speaker 1: anything else, agree upon something that is definitionally a bipartisan issue.
2:14:52
Speaker 1: Vote on it. Let's say about the photo ID. And
2:14:56
Speaker 1: if they vote against it, just ask yourself why it
2:15:00
Speaker 1: really because they think women can't go out and get
2:15:02
Speaker 1: a photo ID that they meet the requirements of that
2:15:09
Speaker 1: or as it boils down, the only logical and reasonable
2:15:11
Speaker 1: explanation you can come up with, No, this isn't Jim
2:15:14
Speaker 1: Crow two point. Oh you moron Schumer. You tried that
2:15:17
Speaker 1: argument in Georgia. How'd it work out for you. This
2:15:20
Speaker 1: is so you can make it easier for people who
2:15:23
Speaker 1: are not lawfully allowed to vote in this country. It
2:15:26
Speaker 1: is unlawful for an illegal immigrant to vote in a
2:15:29
Speaker 1: federal election. This just makes sure there's one more step
2:15:33
Speaker 1: in place to make sure that doesn't happen, because apparently
2:15:37
Speaker 1: it does. A fifty six to fifty five kc DE
