• 1:13
  Speaker 1: an amazing conversation it was with the author of Code Red,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Winton Hall. Frightening stuff. This AI and the genie is
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: out of the bottle. As you kind of pointed out, well,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the one bright light in artificial intelligence is the idea
• 1:28

• 2:03
  Speaker 1: gonna be cool to have them and studio talk about that.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Plus Judge in and a Polatono. It is Wednesday, which
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: means eight thirty with the judge today a secret act
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: of judicial tyranny, the shadow docket? Where did the Supreme
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Court shadow doc had come from? And is it constitutional?
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I think most people will know. Judge of poloton In
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: his opinion is probably gonna go Let me guess no,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: it's not, and what the hell is the shadow doc
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: in anyway? Right, I was kind of confusing the whole
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: concept myself. Thank you to Judge of Polatonal for enlightening
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: me because I got a copy of the Columny Secret
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Actor of Judicial Tyranny early. Feel free to call love
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: hearing from listeners five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: five eight hundred and eighty two to three taco with pound
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: five fifty on AT and T phone before I summarize
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the current situation with US and Erodia negotiations. Real quick
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: out there, Jay, if you're listening something that gets to
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: a little bit. FC Cincinnati are our soccer team getting
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: prepared to upgrade the pitch. They're gonna use that as
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: a multi use socilor they're gonna let play rugby there.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: They propose having concerts there so they can compete with
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the Sincena Symphony Orchestra, I guess for the new music
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: venue that's going on in the former old County site,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: and just so you can kill yourself up for the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Maybe the comments from folks like Jay are paying attention
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: to these things along the lines of six hundred million
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: dollars in a high tax payer money from the Unclaimed
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Funds going to help the Cleveland Browns. Well, guess what.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: FC Cincinnati apparently recently applied for a one hundred and
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: thirty six million dollar grant from the Ohio Unclaimed Funds
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: for upgrades. So there's that fund, and once one sports
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: team dips into the fund and gets an allocation from
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: our elected officials in Columbus, I guess everybody stands the
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: line around the corner sports does Why in God's name
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: does government have anything to do with sports? Damn it?
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Get bigger fish to fry finite number of dollars, and
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the legal argument that they shouldn't be using those funds
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: in the unclaimed funds pile because that money belongs to
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: somebody else. They just have They probably just aren't aware,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: aren't even aware of it. Anyhow. We'll get to that
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: a little bit later, because it's kind of comical when
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: you really boil it down, although tragic. At the same time,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Negotians negotiations with Iran broke down yesterday. White House had
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: been optimistic the JD VANSUD be boarding an airplane heading
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: off to Islamabad and then strike a deal with Iran
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: get something in writing that did not happen. Now the
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Pakistani mediators and Iran's top leaders. Both Pakistani leaders said hey,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Iran's top leaders said they are going to be negotiating.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: They will be going to Islamabad yesterday. Then, of course
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Iran reverse course and said no. Apparently a lot of
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: meetings at the White House yesterday throughout the day Trump
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: weighing his options. Advance's trip had been paused by the
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: early afternoon and then ultimately got delayed indefinitely. Apparently during
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: these various meetings, Aids told tr that the Iranian government
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: was not unified. And we've been hearing this and even
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: mentioned this with Daniel Davis yesterday for the Daniel Davis
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: deep dive. Who's in charge? Is it the the the
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: administration or is it the IRGC. Well, apparently as things emerge,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: it looks like the Revolutionary Guard has always been and
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: is in charge. But they're not willing to bend to
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump's demands. Much more hard line the IRGC is,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: so officials said. Trump seemed a little bit wary about
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: dropping the bombs that he promised to drop if the
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: negotiation didn't start. Buddy didn't do it, worried about prolonging
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the conflict. Obviously, we got in November to concern ourselves with,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: and it looks like it's going to drag on. This
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: is where the battle of attrition ultimately comes in. Trump
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and his team apparently described as splitting the difference. Maintain
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: pressure on Iran indefinitely, which is the keeping of keeping
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: their ports closed. Don't let their ships in and out.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Don't let anybody get to an Iranian port. Those would
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: be people who are helping the Iranian It's like the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Chinese Yeah CCP, Chinese Communist Party ship had been boarded
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the other days, loaded with a whole bunch of stuff,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: including some components that are used with rocket propulsion HM
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: red flag much anyway, so that kind of stuff won't
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: be going in and out of the Iranian ports. And
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: we if we keep them closed, Iran is going to
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: struggle mightily financially. But Iran's claiming it's closed. The straight
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: of horror moves. Obviously, they got the whole mining operation
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: going in and there, and ships worried about going through.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: They are being attacked or being shot at. You get
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the lay down. Trump said in a social media post
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: yesterday he would maintain the blockade and extend the ceasefire
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: which was set to expire last night, as long as
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the talks continue. But apparently the talks are not continuing,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: although the blockade remains in effect. Mediator said Tehran's last
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: minute well reversal of course and saying we're not going
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: to show up at the meeting reflected its anger at
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: the weak old American blockade of its ports. Well, no cure,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I think it will be angry about it. It's a
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: lifeline for their economy. Rather preposterous. The assertion by the
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Iranians because they claim that are blocking their ports is
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: some sort of like violation or international law or some
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: act of war. Well, what about the closing of the
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: entire strait of Horrmuves and the threat of having innocent
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: guy we use the term innocent boats being blown up.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: We're stuck here in the Gulf. Can we please get out?
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: We have a country unrelated to this conflict that would
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: like to get the shipment that we are we're floating
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: around with. Anyway, So the first rounds of talks, you
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: might recall, Tehran went into what with the closure of
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the straight Horrmuves in its hip pocket. They were concerned
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: that that would be a great leverage point. What happened, Well, basically,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: as soon as that happened, we closed the Iranian ports,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: preventing a whole lot of boats from going in and out.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Obviously this leveled the playing field was to a certain degree.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: So who's got the greater advantage right now? And that's
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: why I keep referring to a battle of attrition? Can
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: the Iranian economy survive?
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I know the world's economy is reeling from the closure.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, condom supply has been impacted. Yeah, I
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: got a funny article about that. Oh, the world's going
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: to come to an end anyway. Who's going to get
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: hurt harder? And who can withstand the pain of the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: closure of the Strait of hornor moves longer. Ron's new leaders,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: of course, need sanctions relieved to rebuild their country, aiming
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: to show that they can withstand the economic pain and
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: outlast the United States in this attrition battle. Hmm. Blockading
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Iranian ports is an act of here's the Iranian foreign minister,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: guy named Abbas Aragachi Aragchi. I have struggled with their names,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: and they can feel free to struggle with My name
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: is always like to point out I'm not offended, and
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I don't profess to be able to speak clearly and
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: plainly the very confusing last names. Anyway, it doesn't matter
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: blocking the Iranian Foreign minister key points the Uranian Foreign
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: minister block. Hating Iranian ports is an act of war,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: and thus a violation of the ceasefire. Striking your commercial
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: vessel and taking its crew hostage isn't even greater violation.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: What about blowing them up outright? With these minds you
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: got laying around all over the place, indiscriminate, maybe, yeah,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: I understand some of them can be operated by remote
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: control and that they can blow them up at a whim.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: A lot of them just sort of floating around out there,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: are at least embedded in the seafloor bed, and they
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: release when they sense a ship above it. Hey which
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: ship is that? I don't think the mind knows, But anyhow,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: I just I find it crazy because they're the ones
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: that closed the Straight of Horn Moves and threatened basically
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: every single vessel, whether or not it was connected with
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: the United States, Israel or not. So now they're complaining
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: that we're blocking their ports. Okay, whatever Trump claimed he's
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: ready to go back to fighting, but repeatedly backed away
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: from his threats, Like last night, didn't start dropping bombs
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: on Iran, even though the talks didn't go anywhere. So
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: this is where we find ourselves. Who's going to win
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the battle of attrition? And in terms of the damage
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: done to the Runian and economy, the blockade cuts into
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: their ability to use the straight at Hormoz right. Some
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: analysts believe that a fully enforced blockade could strip a
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: round of about three hundred million dollars in daily exports
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: and disrupt imports. It needs to keep its economy going. Now,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the question is how long can they manage it. We're
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: also putting some additional financial pressure on them. I didn't
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: realize there was still a cash lifeline that existed, but
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: the Treasury Department just put the brakes on that. Remember
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: when Barack Obama released palettes of cash to the Iranians. Yeah,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: that kind of thing is apparently still going on, well
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: at least up until yesterday. So keep your popcorn out.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: And apparently according to Rana, I don't know how. I
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: don't know, Joe. If this is something you can check,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: The iHeartRadio app is not working for fifty five KR.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: See it's playing twenty four to seven News instead of
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: fifty five KR. See Joe just threw his hands up,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: so he has no control over that. That that role
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: exists somewhere out in the world. There's a guy in
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: some remote city who could fix that, but he's not
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: awake yet. Five seventeen, fifty five Tuck Station, Duck Allway,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: feel free to call me right back. Fifty five KRC
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: running five twenty. I'd recommend going to fifty five cars
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: dot com get your iHeartMedia app, which I still recommend doing,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: but apparently it's not working this morning twenty four to
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: seven News, which means is probably what is that NBC
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: News and not exactly putting a smile on anybody's face.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: That is out of our hands as well. Joe and
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: I can't do anything about the streaming, and hopefully you've
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: switched over to terrestra you can listen to it that way,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: but the podcast will be up later if you want
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: to listen to the balance of the morning show when
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: they get fixed. Whoever that guy is out in the world.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: We quite often have to rely on somebody in Chicago
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: and they're an hour behind US, as you may know
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: based on Central Times. So anyhow, Ah, problems, problems, problems
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: five one, three, seven, four, nine, eight hundred eight two
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: to three taco with pound five fifty on eight and
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: ten pounds. Yeah, what else is going on? Sad reality,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: tit for tat going on Virginia. They did pass the
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: redistricting referendum in order to boost Democrats, and the sad
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: reality about this and ballot measure gives the Democrat controlled
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Virginia Legislature rather than the state's non partisan commission, which
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: they had put into place to deal with redistricting. No, no, no,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the redistricting in red states Donald Trump's evil effort to
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: get more House members on the Republican side of the ledger.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: We are going to counter that by walking away from
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: what we did to fix things with the non partisan commission,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna make it partisan out in the open. No, no,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: no question about it. Temporary redistrict being powers what they
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: voted for yesterday all the way through the twenty thirty election,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: and the consequences are a ten to one advantage for
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Democrats in Virginia's Congressional Deate delegation. Currently it sits up
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: until the vote yesterday currently six to five, so the
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Democrats had a one person edge. Now it's going to
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: be ten to one. Assuming everybody in these districts votes
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: as the statistics suggests they will Democrat leaning Republican leaning,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: and how they split districts up to divide people based
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: upon race and everything else. That does not mean they
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: have to vote for Democrats though, now does it. Fortunately,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: this is still subject to a legal challenge. Supreme Court
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: of Virginia allowed the referendum vote to move forward after
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: a lower court struck it down, but the legal challenges
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: did go away. They just let the ballot move for
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: or they just let the referendum move forward. So filed
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: in part by the RNC, Republican National Committee, the NRCC
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: and the state GOP. They're the ones that initiated the lawsuit,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: it remains unresolved and is still before Virginia's Supreme Court. Well,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: whatever happens to that remains to be seen. So yeah,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Former Governor Glenn Youngkin, one of the leaders of the
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: effort against this referendum, said, you know, urge Virginia Supreme
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Court to rule against the unconstitutional process that will disenfranchise
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: millions of Virginians. One of them, one of the Democrats,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: acknowledge this. Oh yeah, let's see if I can find
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: that quote, because it's rather funny. Anyway, it was a
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Democrat politician who pointed out and acknowledged out loud, Oh
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: here it is. Democratic Senator Tim Kane, former Virginia governor,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: former chair of the Democratic National Committee, acknowledged in an
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: interview that the maps that they just voted for yesterday
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: do not represent Virginia's partisan breakdown. He pointed out, because
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: remember it's a now a ten to one advantage for
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: the Democrats in Virginia basedupon the redistricting. He said, well,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: ninety percent of Virginians are not Democrats, that's true, But
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: then sort of countered his acknowledgment that the ultimate redistricting
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: is completely biased, overwhelmingly so since the you know, Virginia
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: kind of purple state. He said, about one hundred percent
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: of Virginians want election results to be respected. Okay, can
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: you reconcile that with the obviously openly partisan redistricting. This
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: was done to counter efforts from Republicans in states like
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Texas and elsewhere where they redistrict themselves into a Republican advantage,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: at least statistically and historically based upon how people vote.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: The voting trends doesn't mean again the Republican's going to
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: necessarily win, but whatever, So obviously partisan. Does anybody feel
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: like this is a respect for election results? And it
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: is temporary? Abigail Spanberger, y'all know her. She's back to
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: measure because it directly is in response to what other
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: states decide to do. And the president who says he's
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: quote entitled to more Republican seats before this year's midterm
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: close quote. Our approach is different. It's temporary. It preserves
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Virginia's fair redistricting process into the future. No, it took
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: away what you argued was fair previously to get that.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: So independent committee in for redistricting purposes eradicates that, and
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: it places it in the hands of Yes, Democrats that
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: control the state of Virginia all the way through twenty thirty.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: So i'm they struggle with their own art. They should
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: just out low say now, isn't this is absolutely biased?
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: We did it on purpose. We know that this is
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: unfair to a lot of Republicans in Virginia, but we
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: flat out do not Hair five twenty five right now
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: fifty five KR se detalk station Local Stories or phone
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: calls Wednesday, Happy Wednesday, Kara to call if I went
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: three seven four fifty two three talk you've found out
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: what's wrong with the app. Apparently the app is down
• 17:15

  Speaker 1: the concentrated violence over this past weekend, and it is horrific,

• 19:00
  Speaker 1: adult judge rule, there isn't enough time for the teenager
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: to be rehabilitated in the juvenile system. The thought of
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: that as comical. Court records show of the teen's criminal
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: history goes back years. Kyle Merrick's family said. The teen
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: said the teen accused of killing him. Being moved with
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: the adult court is not the full justice they deserve,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: but at least to start hoping this sets a precedent
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: of the consequences teens could face for committing serious crimes
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: in the city. A men to the concept, so balance

• 19:57
  Speaker 1: the attempted Robert. He was fifteen on probab and had

• 20:11
  Speaker 1: a man of God with the big heart. His girlfriend

• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati to demolish a former west Side stable and turn
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: it into propose affordable housing development. Twenty twenty two fire
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: damaged the Western Sports Mall and it's been vacant ever since.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Louisville based LDG Development is looking to replace it with
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: affordable housing. According to Greg Hann, president of the Westwood
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation, the property here is one of
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: the largest properties still available in the Westwood neighborhood. So
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: this LDG proposal would bring one hundred and sixty seven
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: new what they call affordable housing units to the Westwood neighborhood,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: forty six to one bedroom, ninety five two bedroom and
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: twenty six three bedroom units. The west CRC, in support
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: of development, say it'll fill a major need in the community.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Hand claims there is a definite need in the west
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Wood neighborhood for housing, and specifically for housing people can
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: afford property right of the edge of the Westwood and
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: price Ill neighborhood line. West Price Hill Community Council said
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: speaking to wcpo's Marlena Lang reporting, thank you, Marlenam. They're
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: not in full support of the proposed development. According to them,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: the West Price sal Community Council has not taking an
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: official stance on the issue, but will do so within
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: a few weeks. In general, feeling that there is already
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: too much income restricted housing concentrated in the neighborhood and
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: regulations on that type of housing have not been properly enforced,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: we encourage developers to work with the community council and
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: local government to ensure that they are aligned with the
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: goals of our neighborhood. Close quote some residents quote it
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: as agreed with the Western Illis Community Council. That's a
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: lot of units, is it not. And finally we've got
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: time for one more bridge. Inspector found a body within
• 22:10

• 23:16
  Speaker 1: five k seeds being picked on this time. It's a
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: lot of anybody on the iHeartMedia. Apparently he's down and

  Speaker 1: listening to twenty four to seven news. I feel your pain.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Stack is stupid. Athoria's arrested, his suspect captured on surveillance camera.

• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Wuti's with the La County Shriff doing but we're not
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: gonna find out. I don't think well, unless you want

  Speaker 4: Do what the hell?
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Yep, Sheriff'spartment circulated photo the guy, and then a bunch
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: of people from the public came forward and said, Yeah,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: I know that guy. Here's his name, here's where we
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: believe he lives, and then of course they got him.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Whole Food said that they were deeply concerned by the
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: incident and of course cooperating with law enforcement. I'm just
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: trying to how would you react to something like that
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: if you were at the Whole Foods and some guys
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: crotch ended up in the side of your head. I
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: can see someone responding in a violent way.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: Hmm.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Lake County, Florida, substitute teeth at Lake Minniela High School
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: got arrested earlier this week after she was caught, in
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: the words of the arrest report, acting erratically. You'll find
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: out why that character. Hold on, mom, I love you.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Your granola is great, but it's stuck in my throat
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: phrasing granola homemade granola. Anyway, back to the story, acting erratically,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: gross understatement, as you'll find out here. Shortly as I
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: was trying to get to According to Lake County Sheriff's Office,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: deputy said, the incident happened twenty minutes after ten when
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: a school resource deputy received a staff alert. They got
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: some system that alerts the staff do a problem going on.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: That's what happened. Upon arrival of the classroom, the deputy
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: found the substitute teacher, a woman named Angela Faith Jordan, yelling,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: in the words of the report, incoherently stating that they
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: should quote put her in prison for life. It was
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: quote Investcata City. They learned that before the arrival, Jordan
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: had been yelling, slamming her hands on the desk, making
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: inappropriate statements to students, and twerking in the classroom. She
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: told students that she would engage in sexual activity with him,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: and then started referring to her health to herself as
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: a million dollar prostitute. What report says Assistant Principal Pennant
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: entered the entered and instructed Jordan to gather her belongings
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: and leave the classroom. She refused, stating that she did
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: not want to be tased. She continued refusing to leave,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: prompting the deputy to restrain her and take her out
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: of the front office. The best Getter said they spoke
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: with a victim who claimed that Jordan had battered her.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Poor report says as the bell rang, students began exiting.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: This child's name was redacted said that she was among
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: the last to leave when Jordan yelled at her, call
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: her a derogatory name, and placed her hands on on
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: the head of this child in the back of her neck,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: before moving her hand toward this child's throat. Jordan facing
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct simple battery, two counts the
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: disruption of a school function. That's it, sadly, and this
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: is where you feel real let down by a stack
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: of stupid story. We don't get to find out what
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: drug she was on, although I think we can all
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: draw a conclusion that she was whacked out on some
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: kind of drug. I went three seven, four, nine fifty
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: five hundred, eight hundred two to three talk pound five

• 27:53
  Speaker 1: and it's impacting I think all the iHeart stations, so
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: seven hundred or so of them. Yeah, that's not good.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Joe can't fix. It's brilliant and he does have an
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: awesome set of tools, but it's no control over the app.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Flint, Michigan for the stack of stupid,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: where a groom bridegroom allegedly murdered his groomsmen by running

  Speaker 1: into an argument with the victim just hours after his

• 29:12
  Speaker 1: of accessory after the fact or Collier reportedly pled guilty
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: to one count of accessory after the fact. I guess
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: since was just a recent believe that sentencing will happen someday.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: We got a local guy in the stack of stupid
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: what yeah. Suspect previously claimed self defense in the fatal
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: stabbing sparked by an argument over sports idiots doing idiot
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: things because there idiots Yeahestra. This this result of a

• 29:49
  Speaker 1: half years in prison after taking a plea deal convicting
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: him of involuntary manslaughter and aggravated assault courtA since they please.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Palmer killed twenty one year old Dontarius trayvon Well in
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: the middle of Franklin Avenue in bond Hill October last year.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Courting the documents, palm Moor Caldwell playing video games when
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: talk pivoted over to sports in an online group Chap.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Conversation turned into a heated argument about the New York
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Jets and the Denver Broncos. Palm more than text. Palm
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: more than texted his address to Caldwell, saying come on over,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: victim got there. Palmore came out of his home quote
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: to engage in a fight and stabbed and killed mister
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Caldwell close quote, using a kitchen knife. Palmore's attorney Brandon
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Fox said his client had the knife at his side,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: using it as a way to deter Caldwell from fighting him.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Fox told him, I'm kind of common. Police Court Judge
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Jennifer Branch as he described the evidence. As he described
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: to the detectives, the reason he did this was the
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: hopes of scaring this individual off, and the hope was
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: to not have a fight. The fight ensued, and unfortunately
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: the knife was used in the fight, and palm More
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: and everyone here just lost someone very important to them,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: they said. Calwell and Palmore were friends, according to the
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: reporting from Mary labus at Fox nineteen. According to Fox,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Palmore had a difficult upbringing. Here we go, so I
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: guess it's not his fault now. Judge Brand said she
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: believed Palmore regretted his decision, taking the consideration his traumatic history,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: but says she also understands the Callwell family's pain of
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: losing a loved one. True from my perspective, she said,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: there's no good outcome here today. She sentenced palm More
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: to the recommended sentence again nine and a half to
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: thirteen and a half years, gave him credit for spending
• 31:37

  Speaker 1: of people far smarter than me, and it just seems
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: to me that we are now in a battle of attrition,
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: at least for this time period. So the straight up
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: hormone is still closed by the Iranians are still threatening
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: to bomb boats that go through it. But then again,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: we are also blockading the Iranian ports, preventing them from
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: getting any ships in or any ships out, obviously having
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: a profound impact on their economy. Who's going to blink first?
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: That is really the way I see this whole thing.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Who's going to blink first? And with its three hundred
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: million dollars every single day corn to the Wall Street
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Journal reporting that the Iranians are out in terms of
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: the money generated out of the straight of hornor moves
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: for their economy. They have to deal with that that.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: We've also got some additional international sanctions. We have a
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: cash supply that was just shut off yesterday based upon
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: actions from the Treasury Department. So can they maintain the
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: status quo? The Iranian Revolutionary Guard apparently is in control
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: of things over there, taking a very hardline position and
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: thinking that we're going to blink. First question remains whether
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump's going to ever start dropping bombs on it
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: at this point. Keep your popcorn out. Sadly over the
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: local I had to talk about this because I think
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: this is embarrassing a state lawmaker, Senator Bill Demoor here
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: in Ohio from Columbus Democrat calling it a bunch of
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: bs barbaris streisand but he used actually the world the word.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: He's considering drafting legislation to prevent streaming deals for professional
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: sports because he doesn't like to have to subscribe to
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: a bunch of subscription services to watch the Cleveland Cavaliers.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: Apparently it's getting ridiculous for the everyday fan nowadays to
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: watch sports because they have a dozen different services streaming
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: services or otherwise. Yeah, well, an every day fan can't
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: even get in an AM game. Talked about that yesterday
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: with the FIFA. You gotta pay one hundred and fifty
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: bucks and take a train ride to get to New
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Jersey normally thirteen dollars. Oh, that's a money making opportunity.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Means the average soccer fan can't go to the game,
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: and of course the average football fan probably can't afford
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: to go to a game anyway. And now you got
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: to pay for a streaming service. Frustrating. Yes, I can
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: acknowledge that, but these are private companies entering into private
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: contracts with other private companies. You don't have any blanking
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: control over its senator. That's the point. They point out.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: An illustration of the problem here Cleveland Cavaliers fans. There
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: are some of them out there. Played the first game
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: on Amazon against the Toronto Raptors. That happened in Amazon
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Prime Video. The second game will be on NBC's paid
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: service Pace, and then for the third game you gotta
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: go back to Amazon. Occasionally they are on ESPN, where
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: you'll be able to go on them if you have
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: already paid for a cable service. Right, and then also
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: available on Disney Plus and Hulu streaming platforms. If you
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: have those, I guess alternative venues to get the game.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: He says, something's got to be done about it. If
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: the Browns are on Amazon Prime and on Thursday Night,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: the contract for NFL says the local NBC station cannot
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: show the game on NBC. He said, if the NFL
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: can do it, then all the rest of the leagues
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: can too. Exactly right, Why NBC is a private company,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: they can have terms of conditions when they enter into
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: a relationship with another private company called the Cleveland Browns.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Even though the the Ohio tax payer through the unclaimed
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: funds pile of money, are going to be paying the
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns if for six hundred million dollars upgrades of
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: the Brown Stadium. Yeah, whatever? Is that a public private
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: partnership case. Western Reserve University business law professor Eric Chaffey
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: has a better understanding of this. The NBA has both
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: the First Amendment and property rights on their side, and
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: contracts have already been signed. As he stated, these are
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: viewed as property rights on the part of the leagues,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: and as a result of that, there would be major
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: constitutional hurdles for doing this. That's right. You are not,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: as a government free to interfere with private contracting rights.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: So Senator to Morrow sucks to be you, and it
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: sucks to be all of us. Think about that. You
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: pay for your cable service, and you got to pay
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: for a bunch of streaming services. The bills keep piling up. Well,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: we've got to have that though, don't we. Now that's
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: as the difference as distinct from public funded entities. Now
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Demorris seems to suggest that maybe we can we can
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: go after him because we can call them public. He
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: previously introduced bans on public universities from giving exclusive broadcasting
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: rights as well some K through twelve schools. I guess
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: that the extens someone was lining up to give them
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: an exclusive contract. You can't do that publicly funded entities,
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: and that's where the distinction lies. Cleveland Cavaliers Nope, not
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: a publicly funded entity, even though I'm sure someone can
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: make an argument for that. And there's another ask. FC
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati wants to upgrade the FC the stadium, specifically the
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: Pitch TQL Stadium, so they can play rugby on it
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: and also offer that venue for other non soccer related activities,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: which sounds like a good idea. We always said this
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: about the pay Course stadium. Wait a minute, Like fifteen
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: football games totally a year played in that thing and
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: we pay gazillions of dollars annually. Can we get more
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: use out of that makes a good argument. FC Cincinnati recently,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: j if you're out there, applied for a one hundred
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: and thirty six million dollar grant from where do you
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: think it's coming from? Right? The same place the Cleveland
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: Browns got there is the unclaim funds. They won one
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: hundred and thirty six million dollars out of the six
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: million if high was unclaimed funds. Enchoir got a copy
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: of the grant proposal. Here's what FC wants to do
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: with the one hundred and thirty six million dollars that
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: doesn't belong to them. Upgrade the grass playing field, which
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: was upgraded in July of twenty four. They said to
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: be reconstructed with a heating system that warms the soil.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: That's first world. Club also plans to expand and upgrade
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: the lighting and ventilation system that helped the pitch grass grow,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: and other upgrades include pitch level infrastructure like power, Wi
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: Fi signal and broadcast systems to meet Major League Soccer,
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: FIFA and concert operation requirements. TQL Stadium has hosted a
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: number of concerts, it's reported, including twenty one Pilots last fall.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: Club leadership has been vocal about wanting to make space
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: for more events more constant. I find this kind of crazy.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: So granted the funds that they're looking for, money from
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: the unclaimed funds pile would go to FC Cincinnati so
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: they can have more concerts, which would put them in
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: competition with right the Cincinnah Symphony Orchestra, which is building
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: another entertainment venue in where the pool used to be
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Old Coney, which the city taxpayers are paying some money
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: for as well, even though they weren't asked to put
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: money into that project when the project was proposed and
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: approved for development. I'm sorry, I find all of this
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: rather comical. New Hampshire, Gary, Welcome to the show, New Hampshire.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: Garrett's good to hear from you. I'm guessing you're not
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: streaming on the app this morning.
• 41:52
  Speaker 9: I am not streaming, and I'm so lost. I missed you, Brian,
• 41:55
  Speaker 9: and you know, I'm I'm just kind of lost.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 42:02
  Speaker 9: Figure it out.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: It's kind of you to say, Gary, and it means
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: the world to me that you really enjoy listening to
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: the morning show, So thank you for that, and I
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: appreciate you streaming from New Hampshire, which I think is
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: so cool. And I'm sorry that the mapp is not working.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: But fortunately I don't feel like, at least in this
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: lone instance, the fifty five carsing Morning Show is under attack.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: It's like been isolated for problems. Now, this is apparently
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: across the entire network of I heard stations, which are
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: seven hundred or so. And as soon as somebody get
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: like from the engineering department, gets in there, I'm sure
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: we'll get the things sorted out. But you know, there's
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: always the podcast page in Hampster. Gary, if you really
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: need the content from this morning, just go back later
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: and it'll be there because Joe Strecker will post it.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: Sorry about the difficulties though, Gary, Yeah.
• 42:43
  Speaker 9: No problem. Hey, but I did call him, and I'm
• 42:46
  Speaker 9: kind of shooting in the dark with the topic the
• 42:50
  Speaker 9: Southern Poverty Law Centers. Yeah, has been charged and I
• 42:54
  Speaker 9: don't know if you've talked about it yet.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: I have not yet.
• 42:57
  Speaker 9: Okay, this might explain where those Nazis in Cincinnati as
• 43:01
  Speaker 9: well as definitely.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: Oh Gary, you may be onto something. Yeah, they were
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: manufactured that. They've been accused of manufacturing extremism by paying
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: people to infiltrate the organizations. And the suggestion is that
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: those people, as agents of the Southern Poverty Law Center,
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: which is always going out after hate groups and designate them,
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: they're looking for hate anywhere and they're going to bring
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: it to your attention. So these agitators would go in
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: and they would be the ones fueling the hatred. They
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: would be the ones going in and talking about advancing
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: racist agenda, not by the members of the groups that
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: they infiltrate in, but by the people from the Southern
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: Poverty Law Center who are being chained paid to do
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: just that. So they go in, they do the nefarious work,
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: They get someone in the room to sort of nod
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: and approval at the racist suggestion. Then they go back
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: to the SPLC and say it's a racist organization. They
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: agreed with my hatefield rhetoric. So they have been charged
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: by the Justice Department. Keep the popcorn out on that one, thanks, brother.
• 44:01
  Speaker 9: I'm telling you, if there's not enough, Hay, just go
• 44:04
  Speaker 9: out and create it.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: That's exactly right. It's like Jesse Smallett, right exactly or
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: and go ahead and feel like elaborating on that list.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: The list seems to be infinite, and it goes way
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: back even to Taiwana Broadley, which is what got the
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: reverend sharpened national attention even though she lied whole cloth,
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: fabricated the whole story that made him a national I
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: guess representative of the black community or embarrassment, Joe. I
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: think that's more appropriately stated Mississippi. James on the phone.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: I'll get you just a second, James, I amount of time,
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: and I know you're in town. We'll get to that
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: just a second. Preste's Interiors for a great kitchen remodeling experience.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: You're gonna work with Deep Talk Station six if you
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: have Kecity Talk station. Each Wednesday, stayed in the obvious.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: I love my Wednesdays, cause get to hear from Jack
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: Adadan coming up at seven to five The Big Picture,
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: Looking forward to hearing his analysis called Iran's Roach Motel.
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: Looking forward to hearing from you, Jack Donald and Neo.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: Fast forward about an hour with the Americans for Prosperity
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: Action in Ohio on Ohio's Nuclear Roundtable without further doo, Mississippijames,
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: thanks for holding over the break and I'm glad you're
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: in town because you can stream terrestrial radio, but you
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: can't listen to the iHeartMedia app. Welcome back, my friend.
• 45:22
  Speaker 6: There you go, sir, and I come in peace. Love everybody,
• 45:25
  Speaker 6: and there's nothing you can do about it.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: Embrace Mississippi James attitude. What's on your mind today, my friend?
• 45:32
  Speaker 6: Now, that's a lot going on in the world. But
• 45:34
  Speaker 6: what I want to talk about is it's treated that
• 45:37
  Speaker 6: Trump is trying to get with Iran. How close is
• 45:41
  Speaker 6: it to what Obama had that's supposed to Trump's going
• 45:46
  Speaker 6: up comparison and contrasts on that.
• 45:49
  Speaker 9: If you don't know, well, if.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: I could, if I recall generally what the Obama negotiated
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: agreement was. They were allowed to continue a nuclear program
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: of some sort, but they were supposed to be capped
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: on the percentage of uranium enrichment, which of course they
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: just they didn't pay attention to our outright broke the
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: deal in that regard. They had uranium interested to sixty percent,
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: which is like two seconds away from enough uranium enrichment
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: to reach nuclear bomb level, so they violated that, but
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: they are allowed to continue some form of nuclear program
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: which they claim was for civilian use. As I understand
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: Trump's demands, which vary from time to time, the complete
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: eradication of a nuclear program and the withdrawal in return
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: of or otherwise confiscation of the enriched uranium that they've
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: got so far, which rhymics just saying hell, no, we're
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: not going to do that. So that seems to be
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: the stalemate right there.
• 46:38
  Speaker 7: James, Okay, so after the war, we're going back to
• 46:43
  Speaker 7: the table, got to come up with this treaty to
• 46:47
  Speaker 7: stop the advancement and hand over all that does as
• 46:51
  Speaker 7: they called it.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of where we are now. But in
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: so far as the status of the war's concern is,
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: I've described that, it seems to me it's now in
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: battle of attrition mode. We don't allow the Iranians to
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: use their ports, depriving them of significant economic lifeline, and
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: they keep the straight of horror moves close to the
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: extent they can. Now, you would like to think that
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: American's military mind, along with the military mind of the
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: Israel Is there any other technology that we have out there?
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: And I've seen reports that we have modern mind eradication technology,
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: drone mind sweepers and things of that nature. It seems
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: kinda you can make an argument that we have the
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: ability to reopen the straight of Horror moves by eliminating
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: the mines. Now I'm out of school on this. I
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: don't know how difficult or challenging that might be. I mean,
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: try to imagine a huge waterway at least sixteen miles
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: worth you've got to search for, and a very significant
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: square miles here. So can they eradicate all of them
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: and make it safe to get through? I don't know.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: The Iranians certainly can't use their ports if we have
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: missiles that can blow the ports up or otherwise dispatch
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: the ships and sink them or board them or prevent
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: them from moving around. That's just going to be a
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: fact jack nothing they can do about it. So how
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: long this what i'll call it stalemate lasts remains to
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: be seen. I think it's who cries uncle first, and
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: if I was a betting man, I'd like to think
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: it'll be the Iranians that would cry uncle first. Now
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: they don't have a problem, you know, imposing all kinds
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: of pain on their people. They've seen that they'll go
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: out and slaughter them in the streets that they need to.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: But it just becomes a question of how long the
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: Iranian regime can maintain a hold in a grip on
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: power when they have no money coming in, their infrastructures collapsing,
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: they don't have any resources coming in, no building supplies,
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: and of course they can't sell their petroleum products on
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: the open market challenging. Yes, that's where I believe we
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: find ourselves, James, God bless you, sir. Hug your beautiful
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: wife for me, and look forward to seeing you. Hopefully
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: listen to lunch on May sixth, six twenty five. Right
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: now fifty five car see the talk station cover Sincy
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: I do a show at John six point one at
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: fifty five car see the talk station dealing with the
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: iHeartMedia outage this morning. Hopefully get things squared away soon.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: But it's not working across iHeartMedia, so I don't feel
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: like I'm being picked on. And joe'strektor can't do it
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: rarely can is there a problem presented a Joe's director
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: that he can't fix this one out of his element
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: certainly not within mind. So we'll hopefully get that done.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: If if I have cares dot com still work. You
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: can check out the podcast from yesterday and get a
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: copy of that book code read Wow, what an eye
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: opener that one. And and to local stories, we're going
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: to give me a call. That's great, But rather than
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: do a local story, let's do a recap of the
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: violence over this past weekend. Thank you Signaled ninety nine
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: a reliable resource here in the Cincinnati area to well.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: Flag up shenanigans is what I like to call him,
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: and flag she did in her post from a couple
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: of days ago about the violent weekend. Signal ninety nine rights,
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: we had an extremely violent week. Temperatures reached the hight
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: seventies eighties last week and it's not even summer yet.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: City Hall needs to stop pretending that they don't know
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: what's happening in the city regarding gang violence. You don't
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: hear about gang violence in city, do you?
• 50:02
  Speaker 6: Uh?
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: That's just her point. Coryville lights up EUKLID University. Someone
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: actually shot, rushed out in bad shape, an other suspect
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: in custody two days later. Not far off Dutch colony
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: forty five individual rounds fired, with officers calling it out
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: as a gun battle. People screaming, units stacking, wanting to
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: move in together with swat because nobody's walking blind into that.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: That's not shots fired, that's sustained gunfire in a residential area.
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: As her Charles drive by fifty nine rounds fired and
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: multiple vehicles hit three days ago. As that, I guess
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: that would have been a Friday based on the Monday
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: posting by Signal ninety nine, elderly woman pistol whipped at
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: a family dollar on the west Side. It's not a shooting,
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: so it won't grab any headlines. But what if it
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: was your grandmother getting cracked in the head with a
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: gun in broad daylight. Then there's nick nickon. Teenager shoots
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: another teenager point blank walks off, all caught on camera,
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: and she pointed out that she posted the video minutes later.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: Retaliation the second shooter to Blue Shirts DeMarco Bates, who
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: was convicted of a prior homicide, back out of the street,
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: right back in the middle of another shooting, same cycle,
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: same outcome, waiting to happen. But we're still doing this
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: dance where none of it is connected to gangs right
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: backstreet alley. Fight breaks out in front of twenty five
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: back POHA, which is an organization of affordable house it
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: gets a nonprofit. They own apparently eighteen properties. And that's
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: a connection here, she wants to draw. Not random, she writes,
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: not accidental territory. It's a territorial dispute. Basically, in just
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: the past three weeks, we can tie two shootings to POHA,
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: that housing authority, one to OT right which is the
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: Over the Rhine Community Housing Authority, and one to CMHA.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: These are all nonprofit organizations that run affordable or well
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: Section eight. I guess, all within the line of sight
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: to Grant Park. Kowinky dink, she asked. We think not
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: minutes away and hammer two juveniles robbed of their phones
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: in broad daylight, same cluster, Save movement, save kids, moving
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: through the same blocks where the shootings keep happening. Grant
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: Park again, always, again and again. Territory disputes that never
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: actually end. They just pause until the next trigger gets pulled.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: This is what territorial disputes and retaliation look like, she writes.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: It doesn't stay in one location, It spills, it bleeds
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: into the next block. The next street, the next night,
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: the next park, Cory Villain into OTR, Mick mickon into vine.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: It's all tied together, whether anyone wants to say it
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: out loud or not again, Territory Signal ninety nine says,
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: but here's the part that should wake everyone up. The
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: FBI tracks all of this through the NIBRS, the National
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: Incident Based Reporting System. Every report coded what happened, who
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: was involved, weapons used, whether it was gang related. For
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: the last two years, question mark zero gang violent incidents
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: reported huh forty five rounds in one scene fifty nine
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: and another point blank shootings between teenagers, retaliation within minutes,
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: the same neighborhood, cycling through the same violence over and
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: over again. But the city insists we do not have
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: a gang problem. My flat Italian buttocks, she writes. She
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: didn't use buttocks, she said. It's not a data issue,
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: it's a labeling issue. Just like how the ECC that
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: will be the Electronic Communications Center keeps pre classifying calls
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: in the nine to one to one center for CPD
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: arm robbery dispatches a theft with a weapon. This downgraded
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: response sends two officers as opposed to four. She writes
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: this will eventually get officers hurt or killed, but Bill Verda,
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: he runs the ECC, doesn't care because the city needs
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: to reimagine their crime stats. Just like Sergeant Oops, Lieutenant
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: Grant is now making everyone in personal crimes attach a
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: three to zero one form to every complaint, essentially classifying
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: it is a rape or sexual assault. So the edp
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: can that reports rape forty seven times a week gets
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: her complaints statistically classified as ape. Things that make you
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: go hmm, I guess you've never call it or dispatch
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: it to what it actually is. You never have to
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: really answer for it. But why increase the number of
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: sex crimes exponentially unless you're literally trying to make a
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: play for the big chair while making the person temporarily
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: sitting in it look like a failure her speculation. Of course,
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: I guess we'll just ignore the voices of the actual
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: victims of violent rape and sexual abuse, and the victims
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: of violent crime related to the gangs that miraculously don't exist. Meanwhile,
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: people living in these be rout style neighborhoods don't get
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: to ignore it. The officers responding don't get to ignore it,
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: as they are left to deal with the aftermath. Twenty
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: four to seven, more and more of the offenders of
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: juveniles violent, repeating, cycling right back out into the streets
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: because Carrie Bloom, Judge Bloom, and the juvenile court refuses
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: to hold these little street darlings accountable. So the next
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: shooting isn't surprising. It's scheduled. Grant Park isn't random, Coryville
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: isn't random, mcmick and vine hammers backs. None of it's random.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: It's patterned. It's territorial and retaliation driven, and is being
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: deliberately mislabeled at this point. That's not a misunderstanding, that's
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: a choice. Color me shocked, Signal ninety nine, always doing
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: a great job. Yes, you do see a pattern here,
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: and I certainly am drawing the same conclusions you are.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: Six thirty seven right now, fifty five carse the talk station.
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: Here's the conclusion you can drop it is six forty
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: two here, hitty bim carsee the talk station. Yes, yeah,
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: I heard media app crash nationally. We'll hopefully get someone
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: will get that fixed soon. And you know, podcasts will
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: still be available at fifty five cars dot com later today,
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: assuming some wels that's assuming the website doesn't crash anyway.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: I love this. James Freeman wrote this great, and I'll
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: said I anybody who knows me knows that I just
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: did this whole global warming alarmism, this carbon dioxide concern,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: and just drives me out of my mind. Draw your
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: own conclusions, say I'm a climate deny Are fine? I okay, yes,
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: in the sense that I try to apply logic, common sense,
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: reason and science recognize carbon diox had his plant food,
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: and there have been varying levels of carbon diox out
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: of the environment since the Earth was created. I think
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: it's the biggest scam of a perpetuated on humanity. But regardless,
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: here's the reason why I come to these conclusions. We
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: go to Illinois, James Freeman at a field day on
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: this one, Rida does this column know all about the
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: flight of people from expensive, dysfunctional states governed by leftists
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: who to well run jurisdictions that are more friendly to
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: workers and savers, like leaving Illinois to go to Florida,
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: for example. But it's not just a movement of people
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: and their money. Now it seems that just about anything
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: useful can be relocated if the regulatory environment gets bad enough,
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: one might be tempted to say that anything not nailed
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: down can be moved to a more productive situation, except
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: that even heavy stuff that's been bolted into place is
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: now ripe for real location. The scale of the climate
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: policy disaster authored by Governor J. B. Pritsker, it's perhaps
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: best measured by the effort and expense of companies willing
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: to bear willing to bear to liberate useful assets from Illinois.
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: The Chicago Tribune is published an editorial Tour de force
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: describing the result. The owner of GTLO is the owner
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: of two thirds of a massive natural gas fired power
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: plant in its Will County, Illinois, is moving their part
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: of the facility of Texas, literally moving the natural gas
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: power plant. A member. I emphasize two thirds, as in
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: Tribune wrote in putting huge turbines on flatbed trucks and
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: driving them to south to friendlier climbs, We've learned that
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: two thirds of the capacity of the thirteen hundred and
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: fifty megawat Elwood Energy Facility, described as the largest natural
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: gas fired peaker power plant in Commonwealth Edison's territory and one
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: of the biggest in the nation that's big now being
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: shut down thanks to Illinois's landmark clean energy law that
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: was enacted in twenty twenty one. The sudden removal of
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: that wopping nine hundred megawatta capacity could well drive up
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: local electric bills that have already been rising. That was
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: the quote from the op ed piece. This economic destruction
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: in Illinois, triggered by Pritzker's ironically titled Climate and Equitable
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: Jobs Act, is occurring amid numerous warnings that Illinois will
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: struggle to meet its power needs in the years to come.
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: But wait, the story gets even worse. This is the
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: fun part. This expensive l would breakup likely won't even
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: reduce emissions for a generation more. If ever, the equipment
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: moving to Texas will be put to work, and so
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: the equipment that stays behind in Illinois. Thanks to the
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: compulsion of Pritzker and his fellow Democrats to assault for
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: profit businesses and favor nonprofits. As the Tribune points out,
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: the remaining three units that l WO will continue to
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: operate will now be permitted to do so under the
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: law until twenty forty five. But why Because the previous owner,
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: a company called Jpower, sold the three units to a
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: company called dairy Land Power Cooperative. It's in Wisconsin, which
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: by virtue of being a nonprofit is allowed to move
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: away from or not comply with the Climate and Equitable
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: Jobs Act and operate gas fired power plants over the
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: next few days that would have been shuttered or limited
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: under that CEJA. So the emissions will continue well into
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: the future, but only because ownership change from a private
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: company to a nonprofit. Yes, that's how these CEGA works
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: are JA works. And if you're not privately held gas
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: plant operator, you can continue to pollute. Someone tell me
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: how this helps anything. Illinois resident's gonna pay more for
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: the for the energy production. Two thirds of the facilities
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: on a truck where they're gonna go, set back up
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: shop in Texas and continue to belch out carbon dioxide
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: into the world. So nothing accomplished there. And the remaining
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: one third just because they declared themselves a nonprofit corporation
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: doesn't have to comply with the law. Uh huh. Now,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: if you could defend it, please, dear God, give me
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: a call five one three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: eight hundred and eight two to three talk pound five
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: fifty on at and T funds. These people are insane,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: you know, is it nefarious or stupid? You can't even
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: make a nefarious argument for that one. They's just plain
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: old stupid. Foreign Exchange Westchester. That's the foreign exchange that
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: I go to. There are multiple FORID exchange outlets. Find
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: it is six point fifty two here fifty five Karrosine
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: talk station. Jack Allenname with the big picture at the
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: top of the our news. Today's subject will learn together
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: what he means by Iran's roach Motel Americans for Prosperity
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: Senior Advisor for AFP Action Neil with that hat on
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: at seven point thirty on Ohio's Nuclear Roundtable. And then
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: my buddy Mike Submarine or Mike Cribbage, Mike along with
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: Colonel Randy Fannin in studio about sixty years of the
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: VFW Memorial Team and Judge Enita Politano a secret act
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: of judicial tyranny that will be the Supreme Court's shadow
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: docket which seemed to pop up out of nowhere justin
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: POULTONO explain where that came from. And I'll leave you
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: to decide ahead of time whether he thinks it's a
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: good idea or not. Right he doesn't anyway. This one
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: is mind blowing because I remember when they launched this
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: thing and moving away from matters political and just padding
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: nasts on the back for an amazing and really unexpected
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: Voyager one success. That thing launched in nineteen seventy seven,
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: and it is still working. But it was just announced
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: and the other day engineers are planning this little fix.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: They call it. It's a big Bang. That's the name
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: of the fix, to extend the operations because the battery
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: powers dropping out dwindling power. Engineers at NASA Jet Propulsion
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: Laboratory sent commands the voyagers low energy charge particles, which
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: described as a long running instrument that's operated continuously since
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: that thing launched in nineteen seventy seven. Court to the
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: spokesperson out there, while shutting down a science instrument is
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: not anybody's preference, it's the best option available. Voyager one
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: still has two remaining operating science instruments, instruments one that
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: listens to plasma waves and one that measures magnetic fields.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: They are still working great, sending back data from a
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: region of space that northern human made craft has ever
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: explored aimen to that, so it's still working. It is
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: fiftheen billion miles from Earth and we still communicate with it.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: It's still operational, and this, I think this blew everyone
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: in NASA's mind that is still working. Edie how experience
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: an unexpected drop in power during a routine roll maneuver
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: in February. I guess that kind of alerted NASA to
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: what's going on. And the Voyager one aslong with its
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: twin Voyager two, powered by what they call radio isotope
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: tello tello thermoelectric rather generators convert heat from decaying plutonium
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: into energy. Hey, look nuclear power around since nineteen seventy seven.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: It's on a spacecraft fifteen billion miles away from the
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: Earth and still working. I think we could have that here.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: Maybe Donald and me will be talking about that seven thirty.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: The next hour, he'll be talking about Ohio's Nuclear Roundtable.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: Jeesh Shiah seven oh six fifty five KRCV talk Station,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: A very Happy Wednesday, Action Special Wednesday at this time,
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: always because we get the big picture with Jack Avian.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: In fast forward to seven thirty, Donald O'Neil, we'll be
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: talking about Ohio's nuclear roundtable. Some positive things from that
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: one I believe eighth five fast forward an hour Cribbage,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: Mic and Colonel Randy fan And in studio to talk
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: about the VFW Memorial Team celebrating sixty years and an
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: invitation to you to get involved. Plus Judge in and
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: Apolitano his column a secret act of Judicial Tier. Welcome back,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: my dear friend, Jack Adad and I truly appreciate your
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: willingness to talk with us on the fifty five KC morning.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: It's always informative and enlightening and very very brilliant. Welcome back.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: Put you on the pressure.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 8: Good morning, pal, Well, I better not talk about anything profound,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 8: but let's be cheerful. They say, if there's ever a
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 8: nuclear war, the only thing that will survive are cockroaches.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: Oh that's where that comes From's roach motel. That is
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: the subject matter. I was given it from Jack this morning. Okays,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: thank you for answering that out of the gate there, Jack,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: go ahead, happy to hear yestam.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 8: The Iran war. I don't think it's going to go nuclear.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 8: President Trump can end it by blowing up Iron's electrical
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 8: grid and bridges, or by tightening the blockade's economic strangulation.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 8: But one way or another. However much Democrats are cheering
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 8: them up, we cannot let these Jahadists off the hook
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 8: because Iran's remaining leaders not as suppressed people Brian, but
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 8: its leaders are cockroaches. I know about cockroaches. The Slabs
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 8: who lived in my law school dormitary myself included, never
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 8: threw out any uneaten pizza every night. If you went
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 8: to the kitchen for a bite, you'd find hundreds of
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 8: roaches gathered for an Italian feast. In Iran, the guy
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 8: who left out pizza for the roaches to eat was
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 8: Barack Obama. He turned a cold shoulder to millions of
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 8: Iranian protesters in two thousand and nine and instead supported
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 8: the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt until the Egyptian people threw
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 8: them out Barak Hussein. Obama also supported Iran's Jahadists It's
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 8: Islamists in exchange for a promised ten year pause of
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 8: its nuclear weapons program, a pause which was scheduled to
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 8: run out last year. To buy that awful Iran nuclear deal,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 8: Obama paid the world's leading state sponsor of terror one
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 8: point seven billion dollars. True, that's nothing compared with today's
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 8: Somali fraud. Money back then it was not peanuts, and
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 8: much of Obama's payoff was delivered under the cloak of
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 8: darkness with those midnight palates of cash. We now know
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 8: Iran used that money to obtain tens of thousands of
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 8: ballistic missiles and drones that they have fired, and, as
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 8: they boasted to Steve Witkoff, enough highly enriched uranium to
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 8: make eleven nuclear bombs fast. Now, please, folks, don't call
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 8: into the station and claim that I'm a racist. Branding
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 8: the Mullahs and the IRGC roaches is not Islamophobic history here,
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 8: So let's remember that almost every religion at some point
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 8: has tried proselytizing by force.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 8: For instance, the earliest Christians were known for loving their
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 8: enemies as Jesus taught, and for turning the other cheek.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 8: But as they gained political power, the power that invariably corrupts.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 8: That's the theme of our talks. Christians launched the Crusades,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 8: the Inquisition, and wars between Catholics and Protestants. However, it
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 8: may surprise some folks to know that after an early
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 8: militant phase, Islam enjoyed long periods of religious toleration, which
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 8: you might call an early version of the Abraham Accords.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: Brian.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 8: We've discussed how for nearly eight hundred years Moorish rulers
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 8: of Spain welcomed Christians, Jews, and of course their fellow Muslims.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 8: That golden age was ended not by Islamists but by
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 8: their Catholic majesties. Ferdinand and Isabella of Columbus fame Spain's
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 8: inquisition forcibly converted or expelled unbelievers. Today, Donald Trump's Abraham
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 8: Accords are inaugurating a new Golden Age in the Middle East,
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 8: with the exception of Iran, which for the past forty
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 8: seven years has funded militant jihadist terror attacks through proxies
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 8: and on their own on more than forty countries. Look,
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 8: nobody is trying to convert Iran from chiait radicalism. In
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 8: nineteen seventy nine, university students there, as stupid and brainwashed
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 8: as our own university students, brought Iyatola Hoomene back from
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 8: exile in France to replace the Western Allied shah. Iran
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 8: has been living and dying with the consequences ever since,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 8: including state sanctioned gang rape and executions of women, gays
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 8: thrown off rooftops unless you're the son of the Ayatola
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 8: and other atrocities too gruesome to mention. Okay, that's their funeral.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 8: You say Iran has had the oil revenue to live
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 8: any way it likes, but I say, only within its
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 8: own borders. The trouble is Iran's clerics and revolutionary guards
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 8: refuse to do that. They insist on leading a worldwide revolution,
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 8: worldwide jihad, death to Israel, death to America, death to
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 8: all infidels. And what's worse, this regime has a powerful,
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 8: ally communist China, which buys ninety percent of Iran's oil
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 8: shipments added discount. And it gets even worse than that.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 8: As Donald Trump makes America energy independent, thank goodness, and
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 8: less dependent on Chinese manufacturing, our former allies in Western
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 8: Europe are becoming more dependent on China as as well
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 8: as Russia for gas and Iran for oil. That's why
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 8: Europe won't fight. And Europe is growing more and more
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 8: of a third world continent with unlimited immigration. And that's
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 8: certainly another reason, the one that we can understand here
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 8: in this country. The challenge we're facing right now, Brian,
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 8: is how to keep Iran from spreading jihad with ballistic
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 8: and nuclear weapons. Anybody who tells you that threat is
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 8: not imminent just wants to defeat Donald Trump because Democrats
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 8: used to say the same thing. I could list them all,
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 8: but even sixty minutes has just shown us that our
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 8: chief obstacle now is Iran. So called mosaic defense strategy.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 8: After Trump's obliteration last June of Iran's nuclear sites, Iran
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 8: reconstituted like cockroaches, creating thirty one semi autonomous military regions.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 8: This let Iran's civilian negoti sciators play good cop think
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 8: Danny Glover in lethal Weapon, while irgc military commanders scream
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 8: like crazy mel Gibson. Iran is not Venezuela, where after
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 8: Trump captured the drug dealing oil pumping terrorist Nicholas Maduro,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 8: his vice president, Delsea Rodriguez, agreed to work with us.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 8: By contrast, all Iran has left are these scattered cockroaches,
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 8: and there's one more challenge, Brian like roaches hiding in
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 8: their cracks and crevice's. Iran's leaders think they can play
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 8: for time. They don't fear their own defenseless people. And
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 8: here in America, as we've said, the roaches are cheered
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 8: on by an alliance of Democrats selling out their children's
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 8: future to regain power now, and also Republican isolationists, the
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 8: grandchildren of nineteen thirties isolationists who did not want us
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 8: to stop Hitler in the nineteen thirties, even by selling
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 8: Winston Churchill mothballed weapons under lend lease. Had it not
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 8: been for Pearl Harbor, no exaggeration, no joke, as Trump
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 8: would say, all Europe would still be goose stepping. So
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 8: what are President Trump's options now? Well, I can keep
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 8: kicking the can down the road, as Democrats and Republicans
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 8: did for decades, or, having already seized a unique opportunity
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 8: on February twenty eighth, to decapitate and defang the Iran regime,
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 8: Trump can instead choose to win decisively, either by force
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 8: while America's incredible armed forces still have naval and air dominance.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 8: Or we can win by blockathing and bankrupting Iran's leaders,
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 8: many of whom are billionaires, cut off their access to
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 8: their oversea funds. But we don't have forever to do it.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 8: Democrats will keep trying to surrender, So for the good
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 8: of a man and an ungrateful world. I say, let's
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 8: not lose the peace. If this war was worth fighting,
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 8: as I believe it was, this war is worth winning
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 8: once and for all. Or to put it another way,
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 8: let's escort these jahadas cockroaches into their own roach motel.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: What do you say, brother, You're experience in college or
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: is reminiscent of mine? Although the entire fraternity had a
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: cockroach problem in those days, problem has been solved since
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: That really brought back some not so fond memories, but
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: hilarious analogy there, Jack Adada.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 8: Brian is the only way to solve the problem. You
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 8: have to graduate from college, marry a woman who won't
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 8: let you be a slob, and you won't see the roaches.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: Well, in my defense, I was not a slab. My
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: mom's listening and she did not raise a slob. So
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: beyond that, we seem to be this testing of resolve
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: we are involved. It seems to me at this juncture
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: we're entering into what I only described this morning as
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: a battle of attrition. So the Iranians don't want to negotiate.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: They're going to keep the straight of horror moves closed.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: And you know, all this economic problems that have been
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: needed down upon the world twenty percent of the globes.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: We all know the statistics and the problems that the
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: straight of horor moves closures cost. Trump counters by shutting
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: down their ports, effectively preventing anything from going down in
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: and out of Iranians ports, which strangles their economy, very
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: expensive for the the Iranians there. So who can outlast whom?
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: If bombs aren't dropped, if we aren't going after the
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: power and infrastructure in bridges as Trump promised to do
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: the other day, who can hold out longer? The Iranians
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: or the world. And I guess that's the question to
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: be answered right now because as of right now there's
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: a stalemate. So where do you think that's going to lead?
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: And who do you think can hold out longer? Assuming
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: we don't go to the next level with warfare?
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 8: I don't know, and we don't have that much longer.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 8: Trump does have to worry about the mid terms. Look
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 8: what just happened in Virginia.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, and the Iranians know that.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 8: Remember though the last time America actually won a war,
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 8: we did not have a plan for the aftermath, but
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 8: we demanded that the Nazis surrender unconditionally. We did not
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 8: negotiate with Nazis or former Nazis, even though Roosevelt and
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 8: Churchill didn't know who would replace Hitler in the end,
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 8: because we had to accept Stalin as an ally, we
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 8: divided up Germany and the rest of Europe with the
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 8: Soviet Union. Not a satisfactory solution. The subsequent Cold War
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 8: lasted forty five years, and we still wound up with
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 8: the murderous war mongering Vladimir Putin. War is messy. Nevertheless,
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 8: even your isolationist guests might agree this, Late Dave. Anyway,
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 8: it was worth defeating Hitler. The advantas Trump has now
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 8: is dominance of Irans, Sky and Seas. We can bomb
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 8: them into stone age, but we can also bankrupt them,
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 8: and it's just a matter of exerting the will the necessary.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 8: Will Trump do that on his own with his cabinet.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 8: Does he need some help from the rest of the country. Yes,
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 8: he does, and that's what we're fighting about right now.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: Well, you mentioned earlier it's interesting how the sort of
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: green agenda adopted by our NATO friends in Europe have
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: caused them to be subservient to the very reason they
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: exist as NATO countries former Soviet Union. That was the
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: reason they all joined together to fight off what might
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: be an attack by the Soviet Union. Now the reliant
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: upon the subs of the Obviously the Russian government no
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: longer the Soviet Union, but corrupt as it is. Vladimir
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: Putin gets the benefit of the European dollars because that's
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: who SOAVI is supplying power because they won't provide their own.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: It's just a really screwed up situation we find ourselves
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: in here with regard to well our European allies. And yes,
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: FDR did sell out the Eastern European countries at Yalta.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: So my point, I.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 8: Gave a ton of money to Europe to support Ukraine.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 8: At the same time europe KAM was giving money to
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 8: Russia for its gas because they were the ones who
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 8: funded Germany, chiefly you know that pipeline that was shut down, Yeah,
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 8: by Trump, and of course Joe Biden was sending all
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 8: kinds of mixed signals about Ukraine. But we can't talk
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 8: about that war right now. We got to win this one.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll agree with you on that. Hopefully we get
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: a sound resolution that results in peace. That the whole
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: entire world can enjoy. Jack Avid and brilliant as always
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: a look forward to this segment each and every week.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: We'll do it again next Wednesday, beginning at seven oh five.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: Best of health and love to your better half and you,
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: Jack Avidan, thanks again. At the top of the air news,
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: my good friend Submarine or Mike, I call him cribbage Mike,
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: along with Colonel Ranny Fannin, going to be in studio
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: talk about the VFW Memorial Team celebrating sixty years of
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: helping the American veterans here locally. An opportunity for you
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: to help out learn more about it, that's coming up
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: at eighty oh five, and in the meantime, Welcome back every Wednesday.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: At this time we get here from Donovan and Neil
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: wearing some form of Americans for Prosperity cap. Today he's
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: got his senior advisor for AFP action. You know, Ohio
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: hat on. Welcome back, Donovan, sounds like we got some
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: pretty positive news to talk about this morning.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 10: Well, actually, sorry I got you wrong there this morning, Brian.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 3: I'm actually with AFP.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: I'm doing my normal job.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 10: Just okay, how we make Ohio a bolder, better Buckeye State.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: Well, then I'll just put AFP there. I'll just see
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: just put AFP instead of the Senior Advisor AFP action.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: You got a lot of hats, Donovan. That's I think
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: that we just need this douse the guy. You are
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: lots going on in the state of Ohamo, including Hey,
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: something I have been clamoring for now, for years and
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: years and years. The answer to everyone's problem in so
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: far as energy generation is concerned, something that produces massive
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: quantities of energy, been around a long time and doesn't
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: produce carbon dioxide if you care about it. Nuclear power. Yeah,
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: Thomas is talking about it again. But so was the
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: Road to Prosperity Nuclear roundtable that took place in Perry
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: this week. This is where I think we've got some
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: positive information to talk about this morning. Donovan.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 10: Well, and actually this this roundtable we did it was
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 10: in northeast Ohio, right outside of where the Perry Nuclear
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 10: Power Plant. We have two of them, Perry and Davis
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 10: Bessy up there. And we did this with State Senator
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 10: Jerry Serino. And actually, you know, we started the conversation
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 10: he'd getrafted a op ed talking about the need for
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 10: nuclear to solve some of our energy challenges, many of
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 10: our energy challenges in this country, and how Ohio could
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 10: be a leader on it.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 3: And so we took that signal and say, hey, let's
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 3: do a roundtable.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 10: Let's bring you know, folks from PJAM, which is the
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 10: grid we live within here in Ohio. Let's bring regulators
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 10: like the PUCO chair Jennifer French, Let's bring some other legislators.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 10: Let's bring a business community. Data centers are a big
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 10: topic of conversation. Meta had a senior member there at
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 10: the roundtable, along with a number of other really good folks,
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 10: the Business Roundtable, the Chamber, Buckeye Institute, and let's actually
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 10: figure out, like, why aren't we getting nuclear energy off
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 10: the ground here in the state of Ohio. Was it
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 10: going to take to get that done? And so it
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 10: was a great most of the day conversation working through that.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: Well, Donovan, I think the better question is to ask,
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: what's the problem with bringing nuclear energy into Ohio. I mean,
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: this is a technology and it has evolved so dramatically.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: We're not stuck with three mile island one off plants anymore.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: We've got these small modular reactor concepts. We got the
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: whole idea of building one type of plant and you know,
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: doing the exact same type of plant someplace else makes sense.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: A proven, tried and true operating facility can be used
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: as a model for another one. Duh, this is all simple,
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: normal kind of things. It doesn't produce carbon dioxide. For
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: those people screaming about oh my god, we're all gonna
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: die because of coo too, guess what you get more
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: power from a smaller footprint and no carbon dioxide. Do
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: you hear anything at all from the environmentalists on this.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering what the objection is other than oh my god,
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: we're going to be glowing in the dark and screams
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: about three Mile Island or chure Noble or the Fukushima
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: nuclear reactor plant who some idiot decided they should put
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: and build it into a tsunami zone. Donovan, what's the
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: problem with nuclear?
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 10: Well, you know, the thing I point out to folks
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 10: who say that is I say, you know, there's also
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 10: people who have problems with coal.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 10: They don't want you know, the carbon emissions, you know,
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 10: even as minimal as they are today, anywhere near their homes. Right,
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 10: they have the same problem with wind. They don't want
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 10: the windmills in their backyard.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: The soul panels.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 10: The problem isn't I think exclusive and nuclear. Certainly they
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 10: talk about safety and safety as an element and anything
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 10: we do, but it's safer than it's ever been. Yeah,
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 10: we off we're operating off in nineteen seventies mentalities of
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 10: around technology, when we're fifty years advanced in terms of safety,
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 10: technology and how this stuff works. The reality is Brian
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 10: people want progress. They don't want ano their own backyard,
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 10: and I think we just have to start calling that
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 10: out more and more and saying, Look, if you want
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 10: to see your energy bills go down, if you want
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 10: to see jobs come back to this country and the state,
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 10: if you want to see opportunity present itself, we have
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 10: to be comfortable recognizing anything we do comes with some
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 10: level of risk. But the reality is that risk today
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 10: is far minimal than it was fifty to seventy five
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 10: years ago when this technology was emergent.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: Right when I go back to the very small footprint
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: and the massive quantity of power you can get out
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: of one of these, It isn't like they're going to
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: have to pop up every single place. It isn't like
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: you have thousands of acres of windmills that don't have
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: to look at the eyesore of that. This is, you know, again,
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: a small footprint. You build it in an otherwise predominantly
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: manufacturing area of town where you won't have to worry
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: about Nimby lawsuits, and the power can be sent to
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: elsewhere with the properly servicing and functioning grid. And you know,
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: if you don't like your electricity bills, somebody's going to
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: get a nuclear plant, you know. I mean, I've already
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: volunteered my backyard. Apparently the small amount of fraction of
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: an acres I have in the backyard isn't big enough
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: to put SMR on it. But I wouldn't be screaming
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: nimby if they tried to put one in my neighborhood.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: Why cause there's no problem or no challenges presented by it.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: I might get cheaper power. I mean, there's nothing but
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: good to come from these. So you know, somebody's gonna
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: have to capitulate on this whole Nimbi thing.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 10: Well, and I think yeah, And I think you know,
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 10: so there's that right, And there's always any time you
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 10: try to do anything there's always going to be a
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 10: couple of people, right, It's usually two or three loudest
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 10: community members.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 3: I've got where I live in Mansfield.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 10: They're putting a Buckey's in and I'm allowed to find
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 10: the other day that there is a there's a handful
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 10: of folks opposed to that happening, you know, So there's
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 10: always going to be people complaining. But you know, beyond that,
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 10: the challenge really lies at the federal level. We need
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 10: the federal government to move these projects along, to give
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 10: them the approval because unlike any other form of energy
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 10: we under we learned on Monday, nuclear has this has
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 10: more oversight from the federal government through NURK than your
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 10: other forms of energy generation.
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 3: Given the nature of it.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: Is that a Cold war? Is that a Cold War relic? Donovan?
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: Do we really need that much federal regulation?
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 9: Well?
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 10: I think, you know, as a or representing an organization
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 10: that's all about getting government out of the way, I
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 10: think that's an important question to ask our senators and congressmen.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 10: And really, you know, the Trump administration, as I understand it,
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 10: has been very vocal in their supportive moving nuclear. But
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 10: you've got to get it from you know, the Oval
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 10: Office to the regulators to actually being put into practice.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 3: And you know there's folks who like to slow walk
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 3: this stuff.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 10: That bureaucratic red tape is real and well it has
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 10: a changeable impact.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 6: Stint.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: You look at a regulatory form out of this administration,
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: we seem to be in a state of gridlock, Donovan.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: The Republicans and the Democrats are at a stalemate. Anything
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: anything one side off asked for or suggest the other
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: side is immediate no, and everyone is uniform in their
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: opposition to it. So that's dysfunction and certainly dysfunctional on
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: a Washington level. There's no question you mentioned House Bill fifteen.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: I started to seal a real momentum. Can can we
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: bring it back and talk about what HB fifteen is
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: was and how it's causing some momentum here in terms
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: of the energy general Ohio. Donovan Happy too, wonderful ar
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: with Donovan and' neil hang on seven thirty six to
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: fifty five kr SE DE talk station. See the talk
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: station seven forty here fifty five krc DE talk station
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: right the time of Donovan and Neil for Americans for Prosperity,
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: looking out for Ohio and key issues in Ohio energy
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: being one of them. And apologies for those who are
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: struggling because we don't have iHeart streaming going on. The
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: entire iHeart app crashed for all of iHeart, so there's
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: not a station out there apparently that can actually stream
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: the app. So I don't feel like I'm being picked on.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: Donovan and Neil moving back up. Some people are suspicious
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: that it's because of the content of the fifty five
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: KRC Borning show that sometimes bad things happened here and
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: not to anybody else. That is not the case this morning.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: I just want to dispel any rumors that might be
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: going on out there. So we're talking about power and Ohio.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: And you mentioned and I know you were talking about
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: this at your Road to Prosperity Nuclear roundtable in Perry
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: are up outside of the Perry Plant HB fifteen. I
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: was having a I didn't look it up, and I
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: admit to that, but I didn't I couldn't recall specifically
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: what that was. But apparently it's caused some momentum insofar
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: as energy production in Ohio. And you mentioned more activity,
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: more interest in Ohio, and that's all good. So specifically,
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: what did it do or does it do? And beyond
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: the federal government and its impediments with its regulatory scheme,
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: how does this helping us here in Ohio? Donovan and Neil, Yeah, Well.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 10: Hospital fifteen was signed into law last year, almost a
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 10: year ago to this date, by Governor DeWine. It was
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 10: one of the is it is Ohio's largest most transformative
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 10: energy reform legislation since the deregulation efforts of the early
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 10: two thousands. And what it did is it put away
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 10: the final vestiges of Hospital six. It ended the OVET
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 10: subsidies that were costing ohioan's hundreds of literally Brian hundreds
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 10: of thousand dollars a day a day to subsidize coal
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 10: power plants.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 3: It focused on.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 10: Market based pricing for to bring transparency and competition by
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 10: ending the so called electric security plans that allowed utilities
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 10: to put you know, various writers and charges on without
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 10: going before the PUCO. And then it expanded competition and
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 10: consumer choice these consumer driven plans. What that's done is
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 10: it's sent a signal around the country that Ohio is
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 10: is positioned to be a leader on energy. The other
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 10: thing is with permitting reforms, so it started to put
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 10: shot clocks and timelines on the regulators.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 10: That's one of the biggest drivers, I think is when
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 10: you you know, if you're an energy generator and you're
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 10: going to put an application to cite a project, whether
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 10: it's a small windmill to a large natural gas facility
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 10: to a SMR, you know you could put that application
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 10: in and oftentimes it goes into the black hole of
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 10: the regulators and permitting processes, right looping back around and around.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 10: What you want to know is that you're if you're
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 10: going to make an investment, you're going to get return
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 10: on that investment with some diffinity, right, and so forty
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 10: five days to get an answer from the regulators or
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 10: else you could proceed with the project. That's the kind
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 10: of stuff, right, that sends a signal and resulted in
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 10: actually an eighteen percent increase last year year over year
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 10: of new energy projects being applied for through the Power
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 10: Sighting Board in the state.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: Well, do we need some regulations or some regular or
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: other legal changes to deal with Going back to the
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: NIMBI lawsuits, most of them driven at least I perceive
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: them to be driven by claims of environmental concerns. So
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: you can't build literally anything because it's going to infere
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: with some component of the environment, and those cause these
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: projects to be drug out. So even if the regulators
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 1: respond within forty five days in green light of project,
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: next thing you know, someone's in court with a motion
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: to enjoy the whole project from moving forward on some
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: environmentally grounded claim. And then you're off to the races,
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: which are slow and painful, like the wheels of justice.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: You're not going to get an answer very quickly at all,
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: thus delaying the project and probably putting into question whether
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: or not it was even worth going down this road.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 10: Well, yeah, I think there's more to be done there,
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 10: and certainly I think that's more on the I think
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 10: at that federal federal level state Ohio, we're in a
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 10: much better position. But yeah, it's going And when I
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 10: talk about we're operating on nineteen seventies rules and regulations here,
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 10: we haven't updated that stuff since you know Carter was president, right,
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 10: we need to bring that stuff forward. And actually, and
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 10: what happens right is you have these laws maybe in
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 10: some cases, right, I mean, I like clean water, I
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 10: want fresh air, that's important. But what we've seen right
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 10: through that mission creep of the regulators that the original
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 10: legislative Antenna Congress fifty years ago has far outpaced, right
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 10: through executive overreach, what the actual mandate purpose and mission is.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 3: And so we need to update these laws.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 10: That's what's sitting in Congress right now. I mean, actually
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 10: the House of Representatives has passed the Speed Act. It's
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 10: sitting with the Senate. We need the Senate to get
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 10: that done. But heck, Brian, we can't even get you know,
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 10: Department of Homeland Security funded, let alone modernizing our regulatory environment.
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 10: But it's an opportunity. I've talked with numbers of Congress
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 10: who said this is a bipartisan issue. Even Democrats understand
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 10: the need to make some updates here so we can
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 10: get more energy online. But it's going to take some
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 10: grassroots effort, I think, to really push these folks. Sorry
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 10: getting off into.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, that's okay, man. I listen, this
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: artificial intelligence is coming our way period into story. And
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: you know, the gift and I keep pointing to is
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: such massive energy demands. Nobody wants to have to pay
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: for what AI is doing and reaping by way of
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: benefit from building its AI facilities. But if they bring
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: their own power and they charge, they pay for it themselves,
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: that might well allow us to have the benefit of
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: the excess power they have from these maybe small modular reactors,
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: but it's it's out there, it's coming. So this AI
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: adoption by these major mega corporations and they appreciate their needs.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: That negates a lot of the global alarmism that those
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: big mega corporations used to be behind. And so this
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: is why when I look at this and I think
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: this is kind of a blessing in disguise, because going
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: back to my initial question, what's wrong with nuclear power,
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: no one seems to come up with a legitimate answer
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: for me. So maybe those days are beyond us and
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: behind us, and that might spur the federal government to
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: take note and realize that Democrats, Republicans, communist, socialists, libertarians,
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: everyone will benefit from an abundance of additional power, oh,
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: without a doubt.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 10: And well, and what you're talking about with the data
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 10: centers and behind the meter, that's another thing.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 3: House Bull fifteen.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 10: Made clear that you know if Meta, Amazon Web Services,
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 10: you know, Google, want to build energy to support their
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 10: own data centers, Yeah, behind the meter, off the grid,
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 10: they can do that. The bet here though, and this
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 10: is the genius of it, is if they build you know,
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 10: they need three hundred mega walks and they build a
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 10: six hundred megawaks, Yeah right, we can kick that extra
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 10: energy back onto the grid and actually do some good
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 10: to solve the energy problems in the country. These folks
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 10: need it, right, these large corporations they want to build,
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 10: they want they need the data centers for their business.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 10: They want to build the energy and they're willing to
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 10: put their own money down to do it. In fact,
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 10: there was a deal between Met. It's why Meta was
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 10: at the table on Monday with us in Perry. Between
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 10: Meta investor Energy. Vistra is one of the largest energy
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 10: generation companies in the nation to guarantee and they own
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 10: the Peri Nuclear power Plant to guarantee energy generation for
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 10: several years several many years out of the Peri Nuclear
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 10: power Plant to power these data centers. Meta is helping
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 10: pony up to make sure those investments are made so
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 10: that energy is on the grid, which, by the way,
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 10: you and me, Brian living on the PJAM grid and
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 10: benefit from that investment by Meta and partnership with Vista
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 10: to do that well.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: It's a good thing, and that excess power generation will
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: free us from the whole concept of spot pricing we
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: had to deal with with our energy bills in January
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: and February. My understanding is when you run out of
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: sufficient power generation, you go out into the world and
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: buy it on spot pricing basis, which is why my
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: energy bill went through the blank and roof for those
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: couple of months. Apparently there was too much demand on
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 1: the grid with the temperatures dropping. Can you imagine excess
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: power and never having to go out of the open
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: market and buy additional power. Can you imagine being able
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: to sell that excess power to other states who might
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: need it because they haven't taken care of their power
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: energy demand needs. Hmmm, that's interesting.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 10: Well, yeah, and it's the reason we're sitting you know,
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 10: it's simple supply and demand.
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 3: You know, economics at work here.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 10: And for too long, right, we've made energy policy based
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 10: on environmental concerns, which of course are important, right, but
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 10: we've we've you know, put our nose despite our face,
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 10: if you will, if that's the turn of phrase there
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 10: as we've gone about doing this.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 3: We can do both.
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 10: It's not it's a yes, and approach, and fortunately more
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 10: and more lawmakers, regulators, folks like Pucko Chair Jennifer French,
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 10: just seeing Hawk from PGM seems like, at least based
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 10: on sitting down with them this past Monday, they get it,
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 10: they understand it.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 3: But again, and when it comes.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 10: To the nuclear piece and some of the bigger parts
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 10: of the puzzle, it really is going to take the
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 10: federal government doing some work here to get the get
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 10: this solved.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 1: Well, you want to give us a website to consult
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: and join in the fund to help out things here
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: in the state of Ohio. And of course independently, we
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: can all pester our federal elected officials to do something
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: about it. But what do my listeners need to do,
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: Donovan o' neil, Well, go to Buckeye Blueprint dot com.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: Buckeye Blueprint dot com.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 10: We've got our Better Energy Policy for Ohio report that's
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 10: put out there if you want to learn more about
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 10: how we can make energy better in the Buckeye State.
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: Don O'Neil, thanks for what you do for everyone in
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: the state of Ohio. A lot of people out there
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: don't think you're doing good work for him, but it
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 1: will inure to their benefit as well. We'll talk next week.
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 1: You have a fantastic week, and thanks again, sir you Well,
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: we're on Fat seven Ato six here fifty about KERCD
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 1: talk station. Happy Happy Wednesday. Of course it's Wednesday. Joe,
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: Jennena Paulathon about him the hour. But I'm so pleased
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: to look up and see these two wonderful gentlemen in studio.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: They are retired chaplain aka Colonel Randy Fannin, and he
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: was with the US Army Reserve but also spent four
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: years in the Air Force. Probably got some good stories
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: about that Spain. Huh was Randy has Spain as a
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: young man. I imagined that was a nice time. And
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: he also in studio a dear friend of mine, one
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: of the men I met during listener lunches, and this
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: is one of the reasons I love listener to lunch.
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: So far, I've made so many great friends. And you
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: know him. If you listen to the morning show regularly,
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 1: I could call him Cribbage Mike and you would know immediately.
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: I'm referring to Chief Warrant Officer Level four retired retired
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 1: retired retired Michael Well, where he is in studio as well,
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 1: we'll call him Cribbage. Mic, Just Mike and Randy this
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: morning to talk about and congratulations sixty years helping out
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: the American veterans in terms of their memorials when they
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: pass away. That you guys do a wonderful ceremony South
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: past of High a VFW memorial team. You've been around
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: since for sixty years.
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 4: That's right, the twenty fourth, It will be our sixth,
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 4: actually our sixtieth anniversary this week.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: Now, what was the concept behind this? What was the
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: how did the idea of showing up and helping out
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: and performing a service at the funerals of these deceased
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: military veterans? Whose idea is that?
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 4: Well, Brian, I think the idea has been around for
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 4: quite some time because of World War Two and the
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 4: various kind inflicks over the years. But in nineteen sixty six,
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 4: four different VFW posts came together in Lebanon, Ohio to
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 4: discuss forming a burial detail. Okay, and it was decided
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 4: that day that they would call themselves the VFW Memorial Team.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 4: Too easy makes sense, And actually my understanding is is
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 4: that when the team was formed that for a person
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 4: to be involved with this burial detail at least fifteen
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 4: people from their post had to volunteer to be available.
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 4: Oh wow, well that didn't work.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: No, no kidding, that's a tall ass. That's obey. And
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: when my listeners start hearing the number of requests that
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: you get now every year, they're going to appreciate the
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: fact that, no, you can't always have fifteen folks there.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: So was that arbitrary kind of number? Who decided, well,
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: it's going to be fifteen. No, No, I'm arguing for twelve.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, I think that the person who came
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 4: up with that is probably long gone.
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: You go, well, well, okay, fair enough, you tried and
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: it didn't work. But now you are serving. This is
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: a substantial group. It's the Southwest. I have the FW
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: Memorial Team Claremont, Hamilton, Warren, Butler, Brown Counties in Ohio
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: and Kenton County Northern Kentucky. So you're drawing a lot
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: of requests for funeral services and memorial services from that
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: large number, that large number of amount of real estate there.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: How many requests did you have last year alone?
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 4: Well, we had two hundred and thirty seven requests last year,
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 4: but we were able to say yes to two hundred
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 4: and six, which was a record for us, and we
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 4: had to decline thirty one just simply because we couldn't
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 4: be in two places at one time.
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: Right, And many days I heard you were talking about this, Randy,
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: you double up, You'll do two services in one day,
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 1: two or three, two or three, Okay, So I'm thinking
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: on this is almost almost a day to day occurrence.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, you have a small window where you're not
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: doing them, right.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 4: We usually we usually know a couple two or three
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 4: days in advance, and sometimes, especially now that cremation has
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 4: become more popular options for people, we may know a
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 4: month in advance.
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah, Yeah, I actually I believe that is
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: a positive development, if I may call it that way.
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: There's nothing great about someone passing away, but you know,
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 1: a larger window of opportunity with cremation I think helps
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: everybody deal with the you know, obviously the struggles you
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: have when a loved one it passes away, but maybe
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 1: getting others coordinated to be able to show up at
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: the memorial service, getting you in line to be able
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: to do it so you're not conflicted out. So anyway,
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 1: just my personal response to that, and I've gone to
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: funerals though of exactly people who passed away several weeks prior,
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: and that that never used to be the case.
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 11: And we've done some here recently where we did it
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 11: in a private residence will really deceased veteran as a
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 11: matter of getting as many people friends, family to attend
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 11: the ceremony, and then Randy was contacted and the team
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 11: provided and my own personal experience, my father, united States
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 11: Marine Corps World War Two veteran, and my uncle a
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 11: United States Navy World War Two veteran. When they passed
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 11: away in twenty twelve and twenty ten, I was not
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 11: aware of the Southwest Ohio VFW Memorial Team. So just
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 11: a year and a half ago, we got all my
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 11: siblings and all my cousins together at Saint Joseph Cemetery
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 11: in Price Hill and we held the same ceremony from
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 11: my father and my uncle ten years after they passed.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 11: But bestowing the folding of the flag, Oh yeah, sounding
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 11: of taps the rifle valley, what every veteran deserves.
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 1: Oh that's fantastic. It's never too late, never too late.
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: I love that now. Okay, with that in mind, someone says, hey,
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: I didn't know there was a Southwest Ohio VFW Memorial Team.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't know they performed these services out there. My father,
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: at World War Two veteran, passed away eight years ago.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: Would you do an event like that under those circumstances,
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: I just clear in the air, Ran you're looking at
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 1: me shaking your head.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 4: Like, absolutely you will. Absolutely, absolutely. It's like Mike said,
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 4: it's never too late.
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: Never too late. So perhaps remembrance on the anniversary of
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: the passing or perhaps maybe another event. Well, that's a
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: wonderful thing that you're doing. And how many people are
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: actively involved with the Southwestile VFW Memorial Team regulars that
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 1: will you can always count on at least being able
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: to cover a service regularly, Brian.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 4: We currently have twenty four that's the man on our team,
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 4: and of those twenty four, about sixteen of those are
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 4: pretty much available. We do have a handful that are
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 4: still working that can help us out.
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: Mike Old, Yeah, that can help us out.
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 4: When we have evening services, weekend services. But you know,
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 4: to do it right, we have to have you know,
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 4: eight to ten and usually we have as many as
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 4: a dozen or so that that's good and the more
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 4: some people may wonder, gee whiz, do two hundred and
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 4: six services in a year, you must not have a life.
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 4: But I'm very, very intentional about not making these guys
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 4: feel guilty when they have to say no because they
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 4: got taken their grandkid to the zoo or something like that.
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 4: We want people to have a life. But the camaraderie
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 4: among these guys so strong that one of the unspokens
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 4: is that they don't want to say no if they
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 4: don't have to, because they don't want to be that
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 4: guy who can't show up.
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: Right, they're still serving, Yes, that is still that's just
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: a beautiful thing. And you know it's an event obviously
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: swirling in you know, sadness loss as we all experience
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 1: when the loved one passes. But I can certainly appreciate
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: the I want to call maybe psychological benefit that camaraderie
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 1: you pointed out being engaged with and involved with and
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: helping and giving back to someone who's passed. So that's
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 1: really got to keep you, keep you. He can want
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 1: to get out of be in the morning kind of
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: feeling well.
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 4: I will say, Brian, what sticks in my mind is
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 4: what one of our friends decon Tim Shooty from Gate
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 4: of Heaven said at one of our recent meetings, not
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 4: that it's about us. We benefit by doing this, Yes,
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 4: it gives us a sense of purpose, but what's really
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 4: about it's our nation saying thank you to this family
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 4: for the service that their loved one provided. Yeah, once
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 4: upon a time, So it's all you know, It's always
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 4: about the person that we're there to honor. We may
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 4: do this two hundred times a year, but it's two
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 4: hundred individuals who earn the right to be the focus
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 4: their service, to be the focus of our tension, their
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 4: family's attention for those thirteen minutes yep, that we are
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 4: with them that day.
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 1: Well, and I can only imagine the sense of I
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: don't know, maybe pride or joy minimum a bunch of Really,
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 1: you're strangers to the deceitdent. You didn't know this person,
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 1: and yet you are willing to dedicate time and commitment
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: out of your day to show up and celebrate that
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 1: person's life and give them the appropriate sent offf they deserve.
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: So out of nowhere a group shows up to remember
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 1: like my loved one, that would be a really an
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 1: amazing thing and take the edge out of some of the.
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 4: Pain providing military honors is authorized by law. Every veteran
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 4: is authorized to have their service represented by at least
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 4: two people, to fold the flag, present sound taps. What
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 4: our team does is that we were able to embellish
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 4: that by offering tributes, a chaplain's prayer, we have rifle volleys, obviously,
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 4: the sounding of taps, but in addition to that, Brian,
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 4: there's the personal touch. We make sure that as much
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 4: as possible that we're reading the obituary of this person
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 4: that we're gonna honor. When the family shows up, we
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 4: want to meet them, We want to give them a hug,
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 4: We want to give them an opportunity, if they can
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 4: do it, to tell us a little bit about their
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 4: loved one. And I can't tell you how many times
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 4: this we would be presenting a flag. Let's just say
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 4: to the widow of someone who has passed that a
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 4: widow will say he would have loved.
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, yes, absolutely wonderful reaction. Pause. We're gonna
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 1: bring these guys back. Randy, he's a chaplain. And of
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 1: course Mike spent his time underwater six years. He talented
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 1: it all up. If you put it all together, back
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: to back, Mike was underwater for six years. Amazing eight sixteen.
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 1: Right now, if you have kscity talk stations, don't know
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 1: what we're gonna We're gonna get talk station A twenty
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 1: here fifty above KRSD talk station. Very happy Wednesday to you,
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 1: judg Enna Paultona coming up next meantime in studio, some
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 1: really well respected retired veterans in the United States Military service,
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 1: Chaplain Randy Fannin with US Army Reserve, preceded by four
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 1: four years in the Air Force. And my friend cribbage Mike.
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 1: I just met Randy. I still call him my friend,
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 1: but cribbage Mike and I've been playing cribbage at listener
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 1: lunch for such a long time and really really have
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 1: enjoyed getting to know him over the years and learning
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 1: about what life was like in a submarine, and enjoyed
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 1: the game of cribbage with him at listener lunch. And
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 1: so I think in an opportune time because he just
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 1: mentioned he looked at the Snow's Lakeside Tavern website and
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 1: said that looks like are you drove by it? Mike didn't, No, No,
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 1: I look checked the website the pictures. Yes, really looks
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 1: like a great spot. I know Snow's is really looking
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 1: forward to having us. That's May six, that'll be the
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: nxt loction of lunch, and Mike says he is going
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 1: to be there cribbage board in hand. Randy, if you're free, man,
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 1: you can join us as well. Everybody's welcome and listening
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 1: to lunch. They were talking about the Southwest Ohio VFW
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 1: Memorial Team sixty years helping out American veterans families by
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 1: providing this beautiful service at funerals. And you know, Mike,
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 1: you said you weren't aware of the Southwest to have
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 1: a VFW Memorial Team when it came to your father,
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 1: early father and my father passed. Yes, they were around,
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 1: you just didn't know about him. Yes, that's correct, and
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 1: then they But how are people I've lived in hearing
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 1: about it for the first time here in the Morning
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: Show perhaps, but you've been around sixty years doing this.
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 1: Who's referring the veteran families to the organization?
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 11: Primarily it is our our our friends at the different
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 11: funeral homes that when the decedent family comes in preparing
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 11: the service that and they find out there are a veteran,
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 11: they let they offer that to the family and then
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 11: the funeral home will contact Randy as far as scheduling
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 11: whether available or schedule the service.
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, to the extent we have any funeral home
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: employees operators out there and the listening on it's who
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: weren't aware of the Southpost Tow Memorial Team. Learn about
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 1: them and let those military families know and let the
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: VFW Memorial Team know and so they can show up
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 1: and provide the service. So it's a growing demand, though,
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 1: is what I gather, Randy and Mike. So you're looking
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 1: for additional help most of your folks, I guess you
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 1: said the twenty one the team is average age is
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 1: sixty nine years. That's why I made retirement. You know,
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 1: like I go to listener lunch. A lot of retire
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 1: you show up with listener lunch because well they're retired.
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: I hear people all the time. Well I can't go
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 1: because I got to work.
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 9: Good.
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 1: You made the right decision. But if you've got some
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 1: free time and you want to have this camaraderie and
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 1: re engage and go back to serving, this is an
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 1: ideal time. Sure it is.
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 4: And I would want to point out that we are not.
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 4: We're not the only honor guard in town.
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 1: Of course.
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we cover mostly I would say center City in
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 4: east and some north, in some South. There are other teams,
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 4: so we would certainly encourage, Like if a person a
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 4: veteran is a Westsider, I know that there's a team
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 4: in Harrison. There are other teams in the area that
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 4: I am sure would appreciate, you know, having the commitment
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 4: of a veteran who's willing to you know, be on
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 4: call every couple of days to go out and honor
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 4: a brother or sister who served once upon a time.
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 1: And get a tremendous benefit of for it. Because, like
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 1: all charity, one of the reasons, and it's an unspoken thing,
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 1: it benefits the person providing the charity. It makes you
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 1: feel better. It's a glorious thing to make yourself feel better,
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 1: so it's not selfish to get some enjoyment out of
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 1: helping other people.
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 11: And usually after a service, assuming we don't have another
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 11: service to go to. It's almost like a mini VFW
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 11: or American Legion, because we do have American Legion members
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 11: on also a part of our team. Even though our
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 11: name of ours a VFW, it's a combination of both.
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 11: But we'll go together to a local establishment and once
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 11: again share those stories that we experience. But I know
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 11: I speak for myself and everybody on the team when
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 11: you're in the midst of that ceremony, just like I've
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 11: told you about honor flight so many times, when I
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 11: hear that sounding of taps and the hair does not
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 11: stand up on your back and it just immediately takes
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 11: me back to my father's service.
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 1: You mentioned taps, and that's I react that way every time,
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 1: So mentions taps because you're all, everyone who hears taps
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 1: is connected emotionally with some point in their life when
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 1: they heard it, like your father's funeral.
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 11: Absolutely, and Randy is so gracious that usually, depending upon
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 11: the branch of service of the deceased veteran, that he
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 11: will have someone from that branch. And I've been so
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 11: fortunate as the it makes an easy choice for him
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 11: because I am the only Navy member out of twenty six,
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 11: which is odd. So come on, sailors, every single force
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 11: is represented, with the exception of the Space Force.
• 1:49:24

  Speaker 1: love having you on the show.
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 13: My friend, pleasure, Brian, thank you very much. And I
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 13: guess and a difference to Ingram, the Reds and the
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 13: Yankees have the two best records in baseball my understanding.
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, how does that happen?
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 13: That would that would be a great series Cincinnati against
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 13: the Yankees.
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 1: Oh can you imagine? And can you imagine you and
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 1: and and and and I will Cincinnati.
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 13: You get me a ticket and I'll get you a
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 13: ticket in Yankee Stadium.
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 5: That's a promise.
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 1: That would be so great. Probably a lot cheaper to
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 1: go to the World Series a game or a playoff
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 1: game between the Yankees and the Reds that it would
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 1: be to get a FIFA ticket. Don't go down that road,
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 1: your honor. I just impalled at the pricing on that stuff. Hey,
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 1: real quick before we talk about this shadow and I
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 1: appreciate your enlightening me on where this shadow docket came from,
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 1: because I was not aware of the grounds behind it.
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 1: We'll get to that just a moment. But I saw
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: this op ed piece in the Wall Street Journal distilling
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 1: down the commerce clause from this this Monday, and they
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 1: write about this Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals case on
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 1: the distilled Spirits plan dwelling at eighteen sixty Wall eighteen
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 1: sixty eight law, which says basically, you aren't allowed to
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 1: distill spirits in your home. Well, the court overruled that
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 1: they didn't get to the commerce clause argument because interestingly enough,
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 1: one of the party the parties didn't raise it. But
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 1: as the journal points out, the commerce clause going back
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 1: to Wickered versus Philburn, you're in my favorite not case.
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 1: When the District Court in this case ruled a couple
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 1: of years ago on this law they were analyzing, the
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 1: judge said that the ban on home distilling couldn't be
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 1: saved by the commerce clause. Why because Wickered upheld a
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 1: national effort to prop up while the distilling rule isn't
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 1: part of a comprehensive scheme to regulate liquor supply and demand.
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 1: What does the Fifth Circuit think? Well, as Judge Jones explains,
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 1: the government does not challenge the District Court's commerce clause
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 1: analysis on appeal, But there's another one that's been queued
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 1: up along the same lines that did. Now, I know
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 1: this may be a little esoteric or we dwelling for
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 1: non lawyers, but you and I hate the Wickered versus philbrim.
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 1: It is a ridiculous overreach. No, you cannot buy or
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 1: grow wheat on your own property for your own sole
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 1: consumption because it has an impact nationally that has been
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 1: the insane decision behind basically all of the government overreach
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 1: that we have to contend with each and every day.
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 1: If the Supreme Court, I'm asking you to read Tea Leaves,
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 1: gets this teed up under this other case and they
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 1: do have to revisit Wickered versus Philburn, do you think
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 1: the current makeup this Supreme Court and its very conservative
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 1: viewpoint of the Constitution would go the same route as
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 1: Wickered versus Philburn? Judge Thepolitano, I.
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 13: Think the current Supreme Court would overrule Wickered against Philburn's court.
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 13: For your audience's benefit, Roscoe Philburn was a farmer in
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 13: Ohio who grew wheat in his backyard, which Missus Philburn
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 13: ground into flour and baked into bread. They didn't sell it,
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 13: they didn't distribute it. They consumed one of the product
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 13: on their property. The Agricultural Adjustment Act, this is FDR ERA,
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 13: prohibited them growing this much wheat. The Supreme Court said, well,
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 13: what you're doing is immeasurable on the interstate commerce scale,
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 13: but if we add up all the potential immeasurables in
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 13: the aggregate, there'd be an effect. So if we let
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 13: you do this, millions of others will do it, and
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 13: they'll buy fewer products, and that will affect interstate.
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 5: There's also a line.
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 13: I don't know which way the Ohio River flows east
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 13: or west, but there's also a line that the water
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 13: that Roscoe Philburn was using came from another state and
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 13: therefore there was an impact in interstate commerce.
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 5: This is the.
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 13: Ridiculous lengths to which courts have gone in order to
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 13: justify congressional regulation based on interstate commerce. I wrote a
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 13: piece that The Wall Street Journal published arguing that to Madison,
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 13: it was look up the history of the word regulate
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 13: interstate commerce.
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 5: To Madison, the word.
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 13: Regulate meant to keep regular, not to control, but to
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 13: make sure it flows. That's what I'm waiting for the
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 13: Supreme Court to return to. That will remove a tremendous
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 13: weapon in the hands of the liberals that have controlled
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 13: and big government types that have controlled Congress since the
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 13: FDR years.
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 1: The case we need you and I need to look
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 1: for with that hope in mind. Reem versus US Department
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 1: of Treasure Treasury. This realm guy seeking to engage in
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 1: a hobby well, which is the same thing as the
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 1: other case home distilling his filing says he wants to
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 1: make small quantities of whiskey solely for his and his
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 1: wife's personal consumption, and in this case, the district court
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 1: held that he didn't have standing, but the Appeals A
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 1: panel has asked for briefing on the merits, suggesting it
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: may have legs to move forward if he gets standing.
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 1: We're going to have this issue back in for the
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 1: Supreme Court at some juncture, I imagine.
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 13: Justice l late Justice Scalia told me that one of
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 13: the arguments that he hoped the Court would use in
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 13: invalidating the Affordable Care Act.
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 5: Of course, we know what happened.
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 13: Chief Justice changed his mind and five to four against
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 13: became five to four in favor. But one of the
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 13: arguments that they were going to use in the majority
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 13: opinion was to invalidate to repeal wickered ver is Philbrin.
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 13: This was a lifelong goal of his, and I am
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 13: convinced it is a goal of the conservatives on the Court, all.
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 1: Right, which gives the nice pivot point. And I'm sorry
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 1: to take you down that road, but I got excited.
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 13: Oh no, no, this is fascinating to me. This is
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 13: meat and potatoes.
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 1: For me, and I figured you wouldn't have any problem
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 1: going back to Wickard because you and I feel the
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 1: same way about it. Now pivoting over to a secret
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 1: act of judicial tyranny, the column you wrote that comes
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 1: out of Midnight, Justice Clea's name does come up. But
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 1: the whole idea of the shadow docket, Supreme Court not
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 1: really having formal cases in front of it and yet
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 1: ruling on them, I didn't well.
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 13: The shadow docket began with an act of subterfuse during
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 13: a Supreme Court vacation where the Chief Justice had a
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 13: policy objection to the Clean Power Act.
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 5: The Clean Power Act was.
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 13: Never adopted by Congress, but it was enacted by the EPA.
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 13: The EPA, as you know, Vironmental Protection Agency enacts all
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 13: kinds of regulations that Congress doesn't have the fortitude to
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 13: say yes or no on.
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 5: This regulation would have.
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 13: Gradually removed coal as a source for power in the
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 13: United States and moved it toward solar and non non
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 13: fossil fuels. The Chief Justice was furious at this, believing
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 13: it should have been enacted by Congress. So when this
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 13: regulation was challenged in the Court of Appeals, agency regulations
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 13: are not challenged in the trial court.
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 5: They're challenged in the Court of Appeals.
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 1: The long story jurisdiction.
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 5: It's crazy going back to Woodrow Wilson.
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 13: While the case was in the Court of Appeals and
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 13: before the Court of Appeals ruled on it, the Supreme
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 13: Court violated its own rules and violated the Constitution by
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 13: taking the case away from the court and having the
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 13: Supreme Court vote by writing letters that were delivered from
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 13: their vacation places to the Chief Justice, and as soon
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 13: as he got five yeses, the shadow docket began. The
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 13: shadow docket is where the Supreme Court says yes, no
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 13: stop go without briefing, without oral argument, without meaningful discussion
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 13: amongst the judges, and without an opinion issued. So the
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 13: legal community knows how the hell they.
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 1: Got there, and that I think probably one of the
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 1: most problematic elements about it is that you don't get
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 1: their interpretation behind the ruling. How much benefit is that
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 1: on a going forward basis?
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 5: Correct? Correct?
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 13: You don't understand why they did, but they did. Look,
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 13: they did one of these yes no stop goes earlier
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 13: this year, and Justice Kavanaugh wrote a concurrence. The case
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 13: had to do with whether or not Ice can stop
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 13: immigrants on the streets and the Supreme Court just said yes.
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 13: In Kavanaugh's concurrence, he said, I know some Americans have
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 13: been stopped, big deal. Just carry a passport with you
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 13: to stop is brief. And he's been excoriated for that,
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 13: including by one of his own colleagues, Justice Soda Mi Yora,
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 13: as recently as last week. She apologized for it. She
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 13: was very rough on him, in my view, rightly so.
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 13: But this is now known as the Kavanaugh stop, and
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 13: it is a derisive reference to his profound misunderstanding of
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 13: the Constitution, written in a concurrence to an opinion that
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 13: doesn't exist. There was no majority opinion, there was nothing
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 13: to concurre to, but he wrote it any way, and
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 13: it's out there.
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this isn't a question whose ox is being gorg
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 1: That is the best point you can make about this.
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't care how you feel about the
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 1: decision and what the decision resulted in the point is
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 1: you don't have any interpretation. You don't have any anything
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 1: you can use by way of you know, story decisives.
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 1: Let the decision say. And there's the press, I'm going
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 1: to cite that in a brief. How do you cite
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 1: a shadow docket opinion in a brief what does it
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 1: stand for? Right?
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 5: You can't.
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 13: This is a creation of Chief Justice John Roberts.
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 5: This stop go yes no.
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 13: And in the in the case of the Power Plan,
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 13: the Obama power Plan, in my opinion, the plan was horrific,
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 13: and in my opinion, the EPA doesn't have the authority
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 13: to do this. But put aside major question mink right
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 13: personal opinion on that the Supreme Court does not have
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 13: original jurisdiction except in three narrow areas that had nothing
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 13: to do with this. It cannot create original jurisdiction for itself.
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 5: How do we know that? Marbury against Madison.
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 1: Which as allows me to ask the crazy question, well,
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 1: can the shadow docket as a concept or as a
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 1: practice be challenged in court?
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 13: I wish somebody would, I guess somebody whose ox is gored.
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 13: But you're you're going to be challenging procedure, not substances.
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 13: I was the very definition of a shadow docket is
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 13: they don't give you a reason why they've ruled.
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 5: I mean, this would turn.
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 13: Liberals like Earl Warren and conservatives like Felix Frankfurter and
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 13: institutionalists like John marshall over in their graves that the court,
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 13: which they protected, forget about the outcome, just talking about
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 13: the procedure is being abused by John Roberts like this.
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 5: And this is not ideological.
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 13: This is not a conservative or liberal, Republican or Democrat,
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 13: progressive or libertarian.
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 5: This is a question of fairness.
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 13: How do we know what the court meant when it
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 13: simply says yes, no, stop go at.
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 1: I salute that summary. Judgenal Paula Tano Judging Freedom of
