• 1:26
  Speaker 2: We got a whole bunch of Ohio candidate's districts thirty one,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: thirty five, fifty seven, sixty one, eighty one in eighty
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: six to talk about specifically and maybe a suggestion on
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: what you and I can do to help move things
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: along here in the state of Ohio for everyone's benefit.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: It's Wednesday a thirty with Judge Eddnopolitano today. This is
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I really appreciated his column on this because it's absolutely crazy.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Column headline comes out tonight for those not in the know.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: E in the know, I get an advanced copy. Tucker
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Carlson and the freedom of speech. Can't get a healthcare
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: bill pass. They can't do anything, can't fight fraud, waste
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: and abuse. Oh look here in Ohio as well. It's
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: not just Minnesota folks continuing me on a tear about fraud,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: wasted abuse in all government programs. Charles Chuck Schumer, of course,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: he leads the Democrats in the United States Senate, introduced
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: legislation on his behalf as well as forty other Senate
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Democrats if passed, would record the sense of the Senate. Yeah,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: one of those pointless resolutions, the sense of the Senate
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: condemning Tucker Carlson because of the political, historical, and cultural
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: opinions of a guest that he interviewed in his podcast.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: And of course the fall tunder doubles down on that.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: As you read that correctly, the US Senate is being
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: asked to condemn Carlson because of what someone else said.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: And then of course he goes into a constitutional breakdown
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: of the First Amendment and segues over to the batcrap
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: in sanity of what Chuckie Schumer is trying to do
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: rather than do something that really is on benefit of
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: the American people generally speaking. So let's condemn Kentucker Carlson
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: for what a guest said. Is this trip necessary? Of
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: course it's not. That's why we have Judge An A.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Poulton at eight thirty. We have you anytime you want
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: to call five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty, five hundred,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty two to three talk go with
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: pound five fifty on an AT and T phone. I'd
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: love to hear from you, maybe the something on your mind?
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Are you ready for war with Venezuela. Remember he declared
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: the Narco terrorists narco terrorists terrorist organization, which apparently gives
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump the right to blow up narco terrorists boats
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: in Venezuela. We've been down this stroad of the Morning show.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I do have problems with that, And from a constitutional perspective, no,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: I don't like them. I don't like ventanyl flowing into
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: our country. It is law breaking. But again going back
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: to the whole reality, do they represent an emminent threats
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: and a president have enough authority or free reign rather
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: to start launching missiles around the globe whether or not
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: we have a declaration of war or even authorization for
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: use of military force A fine, we don't need to
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: rehash that. But what was the predicate the declaration of
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: them being narco terrorists? Okay, so you can blow them up? Okay. Well,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: he's now labeling the Venezuelan regime as a foreign terrorist organization.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: So that's moving away from the narco terrorists, which are
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: engaged in engaged and of course coordinated law breaking, the
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: manufacturer and distribution of fentanyl. Moving over to yes, the
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: head of the snake, Nicholas Mundu and the whole regime.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: And since we have an entire armada of US ships
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: floating around out off the coast of Venezuela, get your
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: popcorn out and get ready for war, because that's direction
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: if it looks like things are going But back over
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: to Froudway's abuse here in the United States, notably the
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: state of Ohio. See it's not just menace soda, and
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: props to Laura Viishov. Since I enquired did a little
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: breakdown on this for everybody's enlightenment, We'll start with forty
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: year old Lashita McClellan apparently had a real big party
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: at Versace Mansion in Miami Beach along with about ninety
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: of her friends. There was a massive yacht involved, and
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: she produced what is described as a high end video
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: music video. Specifically, I guess in connection with this fortieth
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: birthday party, eighty thousand dollars expense, and you paid for
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: at least part of it. Since you are earning taxes
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: or paying taxes, we'll just assume that you are, or
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: you can feel outraged on behalf of those of us
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: who actually paid taxes. In the music video, apparently she
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: displayed her twenty twenty one Lamborghini Urus, reportedly a two
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: hundred twenty two thousand dollars car that was in the
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: video shown in a downtown Columbus parking lot, which apparently
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: is where the video is filmed. Now, she and her
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: co defendant, Elena Hamilton are now serving five years at
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Ohio Reformatory for Women for theft and fraud. How is that?
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Well Hamilton Alana Hamilton, the co defendant, also serving time,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: worked inside state government approving fraudulent unemployment claims. Now. Lashida McClellan,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: the eurosowner and video producer, ran a daycare center as
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: well as a tax preparation business. Apparently across the schemes,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: the two were responsible for two hundred and thirty fraudulent claims,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: costing the taxpayer five point nine million dollars just two people.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Oh five point nine million dollars. That's nothing, Thomas. We
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: blow through billions of dollars in fraud. Look at Minnesota.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: These two are pikers by comparison. Yeah, well, they're tip
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: of the iceberg. In text messages, these two ladies outlined
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: their plans saying, well, let's get this money. Your money,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: by the way, So they started with McClellan's unemployment claim
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: her own unemployment claim. Hamilton voided any fraud issues that
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: were related to that claim, sending her almost sixty thousand dollars.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: She's the one that owned the daycare centers. And then
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: the next day McClellan returned the favor and paid Hamilton
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: one thousand dollars fee via cash app. I Inspector General
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: issued fifty four subpoenas, worked with law enforcement officers. They
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: executed twenty four search warrants, and upon searching McLellan's house,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: confiscated just under a million dollars cash stowed all over
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: the place, apparently including the children's lunchboxes. They found her
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: ledger in a notebook with Boss Babe on the cover.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Immateial I will acknowledge. But they also froze two million
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: dollars in assets across her twelve bank accounts. Nothing suspicious
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: there at all, described as these two among the relatively
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: few people investigated ooh, despite the massive number of pandemic
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: fraud schemes going on in Ohio. So you were called
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: during the pandemic here, let's throw money at all kinds
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: of problems. The only problem is is I've been pointing out,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: and I know it sound like a broken record, no
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: guardrails in place, no effort to prevent scammers from builking you.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: The American taxpayer, billions of dollars were set were stolen
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: by setting up fake business counts, stealing identities, handing out
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: stolen money to friends family. Since twenty twenty, federal prosecutors
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: and Ohio Inspector General Randy Meyer have investigated more than
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: one hundred people in five dozen Ohio cases. And as
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: the reporting noted, sure that sounds like a lot, but
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: OHI Inspector General Meyer said it's just a small fraction
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: of the total schemes billions of dollars siphoned off by
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: what are described as international crime syndicates. Although I don't
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: think Lashida McKellen and Elena Hamilton serving time now for
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: their fraud are part of an international organization, just two
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: women who saw an opportunity to rip you off. And
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: the sadder part about this, as is noted, the McClellan
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Hamilton case described as unusual because authorities were able to
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: at least get back some of the taxpayer money that
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: they stole total five plus million. Apparently they were able
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: to get back three million dollars. I guess because she
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: had a million dollars stashed in her home, some of
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: which was in lunchboxes. Inspector General Meyer estimates that no
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: more than three hundred thousand will be collected from the
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: other nineteen cases that they have investigated that they have investigated,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: while he speculates that billions of dollars were stolen. I
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: love these interesting little side notes. Federal prosecutors that a
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Toledo man guid named Daniel Hitlin spent eighty eight grand
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: on a Cadillac Escalade, almost fifty grand on a nineteen
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: sixty eight Chevy Corvette, and four hundred and twenty seven
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: grand on of real estate, and twenty grand on Rolex watches.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Your money stolen? A woman named Laurie Schaeffer stole twenty
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: six thousand dollars spend it on liposuction. What what? Twenty
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: six thousand dollars of liposuction looks like? That's a lot
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: of fat, isn't it. Do they charge you by the
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: ounce extracted or is it just the procedure. I have
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: to look into that. Apparently, run a ten thousand dollars
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: check for a newborn baby gift that's in quote. I
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: guess was on the memo line. Spent almost a million
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: dollars to buy and renovate a home, all right, Ava
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Missile nine bought a three hundred and twenty seven thousand
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: and five hundred dollars home in Michigan, which she didn't
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: even keep it here. In Ohio six hundred and fifty
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: grand roughly for a home next to Zaion National Park
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: in Utah, stole the identity of a baby who died
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: in nineteen seventy nine and used both her real and
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: fake names to get one point five million dollars. Yes,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: in paycheck protection loans. They say they're focusing mostly on
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: pandemic unemployment assistance fraud. How about the other programs that
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: are out there, like the one in Mississipi in Minnesota.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: This says from the beginning the pandemic through the end
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: of September of twenty twenty five, the Hot Department of
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Job and Family Services reported one point eight billion dollars
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: in over payments and jobless benefits. In the same time frame,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: one hundred and eight million in over payments have been recovered.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: That's a gross disparity, is it not? Hey, the money's gone,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: it's been spent. If someone was there up front, minding
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: the store and monitoring these activities, maybe, just maybe it
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: wouldn't have gone out the door in the first place.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: And the WTF moment in the reporting on this look,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: I wrote it right there in the margins. The state
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: hired companies to help process these unemployment claims. They say
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: some nine thousand people had full administrative access to the
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: entire unemployment system, which allowed them to void holds on
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: claims and release money. Like the first story I mentioned,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: what's worse WTF moment number two, even after some of
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: those workers were fired, Ohio state contractors didn't shut off
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: their computer access to the system. Huh what might that
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: lead to? Well, here's Andrew Corobo got fired after working
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: for a state contractor named Ramsdad seventy five days. He's
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: working for seventy five days before his termination, he inappropriately
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: approved thirteen claims for thirty six grand plus almost thirty
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: seven grand, But the contractor didn't shut down his log
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: in credentials for another ninety days after he was terminated,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: at which time or during which time, he inappropriately approved
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: four hundred and thirty five claims for six point eight
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: million dollars. Okay, you see a little bit of effort
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: would have gone a long way. Did they engage in
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: the effort? Obviously not in and okay again according to
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: the Inspector General, the ones I just mentioned a mere
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: scratch in the surface of the fraud claims that are
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: out there floating around in the world. Great five eighteen
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: fifty five kr CD talk station, be right back right
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: out forty degrees a fifty five kr CD talk station.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: It's five twenty two almost anyway, fifty five kr CD
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: talk station. You gonna jump over the phones five one, three, seven,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: four nine, fifty five hundred, eight hundred two to three
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: talks for goofs and giggles. I just looked up the
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: cost of an oil change for a a Lamborghini Urus
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: that coming in in around two thousand dollars, so it
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: comes to quarter of a million dollars for a card.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Then you got that's there and in the face. Jay,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Welcome to the Morning Show.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: Welcome back, Hey, thanks Brian, Hey, I want to thank
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: you for keeping the uh this this up and giving
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: our attention to all the fraudways and abuse going on
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: in Ohio. I don't hear it coming from anybody else,
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: And I would encourage the listeners that to pick up
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: the phone and call Keith Faber, Auditor of State of Ohio,
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: called the Attorney General's office. One of the things that
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Thomas Massey said, I don't know several months ago, six
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: months ago, is they don't really get that many phone calls.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: That's a congressman. How many phone calls do you think
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: an auditor's office get?
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: Zero?
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Right, who's the honor of people's first questions? Who is
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: the auditor?
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: And what does he do? Yeah, he's supposed to be
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: the one who's watching where the funds go. The Attorney's
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: General Office is the top cop in the state of Ohio.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: That's Dave Yoh's office. Uh so let's shoot for like
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: five of us giving them a call today and saying
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: what what are you doing with the fraud, waste and abuse?
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: And I know you guys had.
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: Faber on.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Maybe a year or so ago, which I loved, unfortunately,
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: and I think we need to just just take a breath,
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Brian and take a step back and remember what Faber
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: said when he was on the air. It's hard. There's
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: eighty eight counties. It's really complex and it looks like
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: work and he'd rather not. I might be paraphrasing that
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: last part, but that was pretty much my takeaway after
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: you interviewed him, was I heard a lot of excuses
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: for a guy who asked and ran for the job,
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: got the job putting, and he talked about that there
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: was different computer systems across eighty eight counties. Reminder, we
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: just gave six hundred million dollars to the Cleveland Browns,
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: which is my follow up question, follow up question to.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: You with thank you Jay, That was that's like the
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: street car. It's a gift that keeps on giving in
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: terms of batcrap insanity.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: Anyway, go ahead, Well you don't just shifting over to
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: the six hundred million dollars and a billion dollar stadium
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: going to the city paid for the Bengals. When Obamacare
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: came out, there was that edict that we had to
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: pay a tax and went to the Supreme Court and
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: the Supreme Court says, you can't force people to buy
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: something that they're not using.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Right, what does that? What does that?
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: When do we get that focus into football? Because I
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: don't consume football. I have zero interest in it. I
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: walked away from the NFL when I figured out what
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: what what kind of humanity I'm watching here?
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: But you're don't confuse the the intrusion on individual freedoms
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: and liberties with what our elected officials choose to do
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: with our tax payer dollars. They have a wide rain
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: and a lot of birth to uh to pick and
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: choose the winners and losers. We've seen that throughout government.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Republicans do it, Democrats do it, and in this particular case,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: the very bright rates that are right right bright red
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: state of Ohio shows to give six hundred million dollars
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: of the damn Brown's. That's your elected officials making decisions
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: with what they do with your money.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Isn't there a president? Though? Now the Supreme Court that
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: says you can't force private citizens to buy something.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: You're come on, Jay, you know you're not being forced
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: to do anything. Nobody's making you go by a brown
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: sticket or even show up at the state freebie.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: They're taking my tax dollars and getting it to a
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: private business, forcing me to pay for it through my
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: tax dollars. I'm not consuming anything.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Now, those arguments have been rejected soundly by the Supreme Court.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Like for example, if you are a conscientious objector and
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: you don't believe in war, and you don't believe in
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: waging of war, you can't withhold your tax dollars because
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: a giant chunk of it goes to the American military.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: You don't get to pick and choose what your elected
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: officials do. We were living a representative form of government.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: They're allowed to do whatever they damn well please.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: In large part, so how did the Obamacare mandatory edict
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: to pay for it?
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Is because they said you have to engage in commerce
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: i e. Purchase and Obamacare policy. That's what you can't
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: do through the commerce clause. The commerce clause can you
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: prevent you from engaging in activity that affects interstate commerce,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: but they can't force you to engage in interstate commerce.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Huge, so they called it attacks.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: But then they tried to call it attack, right, and
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: they got away with that for a few years because
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: John Roberts on the Supreme Court said you can't force
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: them to buy it, but we can call it attack.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: That was a different That was a different part of
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: the argument. And you're right, is it a penalty? Is
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: it attack? What they called it attacks or attacks? Or
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: they called it a penalty over and over again. Apparently
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: that would have been unconstitutional, so magically it became a
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: tax under the court's decision. That is a completely separate
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: argument independent of the first one you advance, which regard
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: which was dealing with the commerce clause and whether you
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: can be forced to engage in commerce one last question.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: But the tax got eliminated because it was found unconstitutional
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: even after they called it attacks.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: No, it was upheld. The only thing in that Roberts
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: decision that that impacted Obamacare to what I would say
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: our advantage is what we just got done talking about,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: which is they can't make you buy one. It caused
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: the whole thing to collapse because the only thing propping
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: it up was that every human being in the country
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: was going to be work, was going to be on
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: an Obamacare policy in providing premium dollars which would then
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: be used to pay all the claims. If you can't
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: make everybody buy it, there's a massive chunk of people
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: who aren't gonna buy it, and of course didn't, meaning
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: the premium dollars weren't sufficient to cover the losses that
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: were by all the claims that went in with people
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: with pre existing conditions, for example. That's why the premiums
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: have gone through the roofs, the only way insurance works.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Enough dollars coming in to cover the dollars going out
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: for claims. That's why your premium now is through the
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: roof and that's where the subsidies came in to cover
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: the failure of Obama Care brought about by the Roberts decision,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: which told you you didn't have to buy it in
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: the first place. That's the bottom line, man, That's really
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: all there is to it, and we're dealing with the
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: aftermath of that failure by well, they're trying to hide
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: cover the cost of it, but you and I are
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: still footing it supplements in place, and when the supplements
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: aren't there, nobody wants to buy an Obamacare policy because
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: it's too damn expensive for the insurance you get, if
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: you can even call it insurance. Appreciate the call. As always,
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Jay got a run and you can feel free to
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: chime in. And if you like, Phil, just give me
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: a quifive one three, seven, four, nine, fifty eight hundred

  Speaker 2: I'm be if twenty thirds the last day I worked

  Speaker 2: We'll see what Tom's got this morning, Tom, Happy Wednesday
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: to you, welcome back, Hey.
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: Good morning. And I'm actually I think I'm going to
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: get one more day of vacation than you do. That's
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: that's pretty damn good.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: I have been using mine though, so.
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, twenty Thurs my last day as well, and
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: then we got a nice trip plan, so good for you. Yeah, yeah,
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: I'm that that'll. I'm very much looking forward to it.
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: So uh yeah, you uh you know how to pick
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: the topics to get Jay stirred up and uh buy it.
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: And I appreciate Jay Jay is always full of a
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: lot of information and questions and and uh, keep it going, Jay,
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: I appreciate you. And yeah, this fraud, waste and abuse obviously,
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: you know, keep keep uh keep doing them, keep repeating it, Brian,
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: it's something that's worth repeating about this. Chefs should be
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: set up ahead of time before these programs go in place.
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: But they're in such a big hurry to throw your
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: money out the window and give it to give it away.
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: That's that's the knee jerk reaction of these politicians. Uh,
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: well these people are gonna need help, let's give a billions.
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: But well we got this many hundreds of millions and
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: and that, and that's you know that that can't keep
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: going on. We got to put a stop to it.
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: The only way to put a stop to is replace
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: these people. You know, got to trust the people. If
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: we're going to replace, replace them with who do I
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: believe that you're gonna do it any differently? And that's
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: that's the difficult part. That we got to keep trying
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: to get somebody else in there or what whatever, whatever
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: representative that that represents you, whoever you are listening, think
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: about your representative, Are they representing you?
• 22:19
  Speaker 7: And your what you believe.
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: Government should be doing with your money, and what they
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: do with your money is probably the most important thing
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: to do in their office, hands down, that's your that's
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: your life. You go to work, you do whatever you
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: do to earn that paycheck, and then you see some
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: of it being taken out. Right.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's why I've been harboring on this. Listen.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: I am not attacking the program itself, because you can
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: make an argument all the daven oh my god, it
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: was the pandemic and you know the everything was shut down.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: These people needed the money. You can make that argument
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: all day long. I might reject it, but bipartisan response
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: under across the board, from eleon Omar Kami over to
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: the farthest right wing conservative. Ask them the question, do
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: you believe in preventing fraud, wasted abuse? Do you believe
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: the money should go to criminals? Do you believe the
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: money should go to people who are not eligible under
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: the program to receive it. The answer should be an
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: outright absolute hell no. That should never happen, and I
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: will do everything in my power to prevent the American
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: taxpayer dollar from being abused. They have to say that
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: because it is purely bipartisan. I want that upfront. You know,
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: then argue that as long as whatever you're doing includes
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: those provisions, and with our vast array of artificial intelligence,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: I don't care. We have eighty eight counties in the
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: state of Ohio. They should be able to share data.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: And if we can't share data right now, maybe job
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: one should be the ability for those counties to share
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: data to prevent medicaid fraud or any other kind of
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: fraud that we could encounter. Get the damn job done.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: But bipartisan reality is no to fraud, waste and abuse.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: And there is nothing that There's no one, nothing anybody
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: can say if they're running on a platform, if they're
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: pushing some particular program that justifies the ability, if you
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: see it gaping hole in the posle that would allow fraud,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: waste and abuse, then y'all plug it up front.
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: I wholeheartedly agree. But another part of our broken record
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: is if if we get rid of the ability to
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: have fraud, waste and abuse, we get rid of the
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: ability of these politicians to throw money around at their
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: pet projects, at their buddies. See that's that's what you know.
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: You can get a politician to agree on the surface
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: to anything you want. But when they get behind closed
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: doors and in committee or they're talking to their buddies
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: or whatever, Yeah, we got a few hundred million dollars
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: we can sling your way, you know. Yeah, that's your money, people,
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: that's your money that they're throwing around. That's not coming
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: out of their pocket because they're also as we have
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: seen over the years, these people get in office and
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: they somehow magically become a whole lot richer than their
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: salary dictates that they should. And this is across the board,
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: This is everybody, This is all of them. This isn't
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: just Rhinos and Democrats, but they, I believe are the
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: worst defenders because.
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: They touch right out.
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: Their programs are designed, their programs are designed to waste
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: your money.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: That's right. See that's what we got out of time,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: tom out of time. But that's the point of it.
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: Don't vote Rhino and don't vote Democrat. Have a great day.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: That's the point of my problem or my point. You
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: make the point up front you stop broad wasted abuse,
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: and then when it happens you can point to them
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: and say, see, you wanted fraud wasting abuse. Look what
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: you're doing with the money? Six thirty six right now,

• 26:09

• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Guy's short crews around the Commerce City Civic Center. Excuse me,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: maybe a little bit allergies this morning. Let us go
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: to Louisville. Fifth grade teacher arrested after police said she
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: had a sexual conversation with the student. Why are you
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: dun drove to his own There is no answer to
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: that question. That's going to pass. Muster with me. Judge
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Strecker Sidney Gaff, thirty six years old, charge with procuring
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: or promoting use of minor by electronic means. Jefferson County
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: Public Schools confirmed she worked for works for and says
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: plural art says he works. I'd like to think she's
• 28:19

• 29:14
  Speaker 8: You've reached the top, the pinnacle of douche them.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Good going, doue. Your dreams have come true. You know,
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: your child's lucky to not been in front of that
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: instructor in that particular school district, one school among thousands
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: and thousands of schools out there, So maybe you dodge
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: the bullet on that one. But let us go back
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: to my criticisms about the Internet and your Your motivation
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: should be to get your children off of it, because
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: every single pervert into the world is concentrated in one
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: fun spot we'd like to call the Internet social media accounts.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: So that woman multiplied times, you know, the cross of
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: the population of billions of people globally, they're all right
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: there right there, waiting to go after your kids. Sorry,
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: I'm just on a tear on that as well of
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: late Cole Munzer here. Make sure you read deep talk
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: station five point fifty if you've got kero see detalk
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: station five one three, seven fifty, five hundred even eight
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: two to three talk. Always welcome phone calls, even in
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: the middle of the STACKUS dupid, go back to the
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: stackus D. But something else for us to worry about
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: added to the list. How closely do you inspect your
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: food after you get back from the grocery store. I mean, I,
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: for one, if I'm pull open up a loaf of bread,
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: I'm going to look at the slices of bread right,
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: just as a matter of course, just by holding it,
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: you're going to be looking at it anyway. Look out
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: for razor blades. Apparently one more thing. It's like Chris
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: or like Halloween. You know, I remember the rumors about
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: razor blades being stuffed into apples. Well, we got to block.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: In Mississippi, police have arrested a Texas woman accused of
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: putting razors in several bakery items at multiple Walmart locations.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Why are you doing that? We'll never find out. Well,
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: maybe because she should share the award with the last
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: award winner, Joe. Maybe there's just a reason in and
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: of itself. Thirty three year old Camille Benson arrested charged
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: with attempted mayhem. Tip to investigators said she'd been seen
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: in the one thousand block at a Vision Street, which
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: led to her arrest. They had been looking for why
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: because oh look video surveillance footage. God started with complaints
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: from multiple customers who found razor blades in bread at
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: the Walmart located on Switzer Drive in blocks. The same
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: thing happened in to Walmart at the two thousand block
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: of Pass Road. After finding the razor blades, Walmart reported
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: the police that they had something similar happen back in
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: December fifth and December seventh, razor blades found in a
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: banana nut muffin and a loaf of bread. Employees never
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: reported it to the police until the most recent incident happened.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: I guess they began to see a pattern emerge. Walmart removed,
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: of course, the suspected bread, and no injuries were reported, thankfully.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Police said nothing in the back of the store warehouse
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: was found to be compromised, which led police to believe
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: that the tampering happened on the store floor. Enter videos
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: camera footage of this woman walking out of the store
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: identified and arrested. So they say, if you bought any
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: bread at these walmarts, check for sharp objects. But since
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: this has now made it to the internet and the
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: story is in fact a viral reported story, everybody's going
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: to get the idea that maybe I too can put
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: razor blades in food. It's like a TikTok challenge or
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: something like that. A lot of stupid in the world,
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: isn't there, Just a whole lot. And you know what,
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: the article does not contain any more information than the headline.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Police investigating violent fight between customers and employees at West
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Hartford Chipotle. That's really it. Start the fight broke out.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: It doesn't say anything else about it. Police called to
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: the scene. It's under investigation. Okay, fight broke out. I'm
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: surprised it wasn't a Walmart. So I can milk the
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: time for all it's worth. Here, I only have one
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: more stack of stupid story. We go to Tennessee, Tennessee.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Man thought his head was having car trouble. Turned out
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: to be something different than car trouble. It was a
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: pretty massive yellow python not made in the US. This
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: is in Tennessee several days ago. Jesse Hodge noticed an
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: unusual smell coming from his suv. His friends even noticed.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: After a couple of days, he scheduled a maintenance check
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: at the car dealership, but the day before that he
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: decided to just pop the hood and take a close
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: look at what was going on. I raised the hood
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: on the car, he said, I could not believe what
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: I was seeing, finding a slithery yellow passenger coiled in
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: his engine compartment. Once I pulled up and popped my hood,
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: he laid right on top of the battery box underneath
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: my car. Frasing, Hodge called the Young Williams Animal Setter,
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: which came out to remove the snake. The snake, depending
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: on how you look at it, either happy or said
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: it was dead. Anyhow, always check your car in case
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: an unexpected passenger hitches a ride. Was this one more
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: thing we gotta worry about popping the hood in our
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: car to look for pythons? Phrasing, Wear that button out,
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: Joe hey, Now wait a second, help me real quick
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: here before we part company into the gain of the
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: six o'clock hour. Now is is climate change? Are we
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: are we experiencing here in December with the snowfall? Is
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: that related to global climate change, because you can't say
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: global warming right, because it will be inconsistent with the
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: theory of global warming for us to be getting all
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: this snow. Second, is the snow unusual this time of
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: year since I acquire reporting snowiest decembers in December twenty ten.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: The number one snow in December sixteen point six inches,
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: then the next at sixteen point three inches nineteen seventeen,
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: fifteen and a half and forty two, nineteen sixty and
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: nineteen eighty nine, fourth place at twelve and a half
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: eighty one, nineteen eighty one, nineteen point or ten point nine,
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, ten point eight seventh place, twenty four
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: and twenty thirteen. You go back to nineteen thirty five
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: for the preceding record at nine point seven, nineteen forty three,
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: eight point eight fifty one, and nineteen ninety tied for
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: ninth with eight point six inches. In other words, no
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: connection whatsoever overtime with the record snowfalls in the month
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: of December.
• 36:05
  Speaker 9: Now who can argue with that?
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Joe covib in five fifty six. Feel free
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: to call me the six o'clock hour more to talk
• 36:11

• 37:57
  Speaker 2: Ratliffe on tomorrow as well. All right, start with last week,
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: got a couple of related stories on this. So last
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: week the Pentagon released the latest footage yes I emphasized
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: that word with good reason, showing the most recent airstrike
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: on the Narco terrorist boats in Latin America. Okay, did
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: it on Monday? Blow up three of them they claim
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: are intelligence confirmed in the quote that the vessels were
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: transitting along the known narco trafficking routes in the eastern
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: Pacifician were engaged in narco trafficking. Eight males, they said
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: are narco terrorists or were anyway, Three killed in the
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: first vehicle a vessel, two killed in the second, and
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: three killed in the third. Right, the Pentagon released the
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: latest video footage. Why did he read that again? And
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: this was the day before, or rather right after this
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: blow up. Donald Trump announced the or declared rather that
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: fentanyl is a weapon of massed destruction. Where have we
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: heard that term before?
• 39:04
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: Rack, So, Venezuela weapons of mass destruction. So we have
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: narco terrorists again, which provides the vehicle for Trump to
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: blow the boats up. We now have the drugs themselves
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: identified as weapons of mass destruction. Now, say what you
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: want about Venezuela's foreign ministry. I know we had Bagdad
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: Bob in Iraq and whatever came out of his mouth
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: was a bunch of crap anyway, And of course whatever
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: they say is going to might be characterizing Venezuela's benefit.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: But let's hear what he had to say right already
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: in his twenty twenty four campaign, Trump openly stated that
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: his objective has always been to keep Venezuelan oil without
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: paying any consideration in return, making it clear that the
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: policy of aggression against our country responds to a deliberate
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: plan to plunder our energy wealth. The true reasons for
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: the prolonged aggression against Venezuelas have fighting been revealed. It's
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: not migration, it's not narcotics trafficking, it's not democracy, it's
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: not human rights. It's always been about our natural wealth. Again,
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: he can say what he wants. Pivoting over. Trump yesterday
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: ordered a total blockade of oil tankers entering relieving Venezuela.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: And I remember we had captured of Venezuela and tanker
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: a week or so ago, the skipper right off the
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: coast of Venezuela. They claimed that it was, you know,
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: violating international sanctions. A ghost ship, which those ships are
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: described as ships that don't fly under any particular color
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: of a flag. They're either under floor foreign flags. They
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: obscure their origins, they changed the names of the ships,
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: they changed the ship ownership through shell companies. So there
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: are these ships out there undeniably and they are trafficking
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: in sanctioned Venezuela and oil, which of course the skipper
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: was I'm not even going to contest that. So what
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: we do with the oil becomes another issue, and my
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: understanding is the administration is going to court to see
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: if they have legal justification to keep it fine. Now,
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: Trump again issued this total blockade of all oil tankers
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: entering Venezuela. Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest armada
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: ever assembled, he said in his post in the history
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: of South America. It will only get bigger, and the
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: shock to them will be the will be like nothing
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: they have ever seen before until such time as they
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: return to the United States of America all of the oil, land,
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: and other assets they previously stole from us. He went
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: on to say, the illegitimate Maduro regime is using oil
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: from these stolen oil fields to finance themselves, drug terrorism,
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: human trafficking, murder, kidnapping, for the thefts of our assets,
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: and many other reasons including terrorism, drug smuggling, and human trafficking.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: The Venezuelan regime has been designated a foreign terrorist organization.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: So you see what he did there. He moved over
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: from the narco terrorists being the threat which allowed him
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: to blow them up. Right, debatable point. Some of my
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: listening audience said, we have every right in the world
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: to blow up those vessels. Now the whole Maduro regime
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: are foreign terrorists. Does anybody not see the bombs being
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: dropped on Venezuela anytime soon? He said. Therefore, today I'm
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: ordering a total and complete blockade of all sanctioned oil
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: tankers going in and out of Venezuela. The illegal aliens
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: and criminals of the Maduro regime is sent into the
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: United States during a week end and up by deministration
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: and being returned to Venezuela at rapid pace. America will
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: not allow criminals, terrorists are other countries to rob threatn
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: or harm our nation, and likewise will not allow hostile
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: regime to take our oil, land or any other assets,
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: all of which must be returned to the United States. Now,
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: in so far as them the Venezuelan regime taking our stuff,
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: that will be foreign oil companies. They were running the
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: oil system under the prior regimes before they went full
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: on socialist slash communists. But what happens under a socialist regime?
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: The state takes over the assets, right they confiscated the property.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: This happens all the time. This is the risk that
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: private companies run when they are working in foreign lands.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: What happens if the regime changes and there is no constitution,
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: there's no mandate that they compensate you for the land
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: or the property that they take from you that is taken.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: And apparently, if you believe the outcome of the election,
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: the Missouri regime was full on socialists, and he took
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: the country full on socialists, which is why they're having
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: economic collapse there. But in so doing, they confiscated the
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: oil properties, running it themselves, as all socialist regimes do,
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: and of course running it into the ground, in large
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: part because they're inefficient and are don't have the skill
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: sets necessary to run an oil operation. But that notwithstanding,
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: but doesn't this sound like Iraq and the weapons of
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: mass destruction? It does to me, And then asked to
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: my emphasis on releasing footage. I find this to be
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: rather troubling, and fortunately there's a bipartis an effort to
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: actually get the videos of the September second Folk strike,
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: that's the controversial one where it was blown up, two
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: people survived, and then another MISSI was sent in to
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: dispatch the two people that were left alive. Not gonna
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: comment on the ethics and morality of that. But how
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: come we can't see the full video? Ask Pete Hegzath.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: I find his arguments on shaky ground. They refuse to
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: release this full unedited vidulo A video of the September
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: second strike, according to Pete Heggsath, in keeping with long
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: standing Department of War policy, Department of Defense policy, of course,
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: we're not going to release a top secret, full unedited
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: video over that to the general public. This is a
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: statement he made yesterday on Capitol Hill. But we do
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: have some of the video right which show two survivors
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: of the initial bomb strike clinging to the boat and
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: then killed by a second attack. Now there's this debate,
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: was that an appropriate use of force or was it
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: a war crime? Yeah, I know, you know Joseph Paula
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: Thoma's position on that. I'm kind of out to lunch
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: on whether it was a war crime or not. Because
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: if you can justify the initial strike, if you are
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: at war with narco terrorists, why can't you kill the
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: rest of them like we do in wartime? Argue amongst yourself. Now,
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: the Senate is are the Pentagon is going to share
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: the full unedited video with members of the Senate House
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: Starm Service Committee, But that's behind closed doors. Pentagon spokesperson
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: said the Department of War has long standing policy of
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: protecting classified videos, especially those depicting extended versions of kinetic
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: lethal actions. They claim that declassifying the top secret video
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: the September second follow on strike for public consumption would
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: directly endanger ongoing operations, person now and assets in the area. Moreover,
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: releasing it would reveal sources, methods, and tactics which we
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: will not do. I come on, they say, releasing the
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: video risks revealing what model of aircraft was used in
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: the attacks. They say it could demonstrate sensitive information about
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: US military operations. Most of the informations right there what
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: we've seen, isn't it, And it's even reported that you know,
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: but you can tell by the crosshairs on the video
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: exactly what type of vehicle or aircraft or ammunition was
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: being used to blow them up. But come on, we
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: just want to know what the answer is. What kind
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: of sensitive information could possibly be revealed with a video
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: showing about a boat being blown up? I mean this,
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: I find this part troubling. I am all about, you know, transparency.
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: I'm with both lind Graham and other Democrats. On the
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: other side, it says release the damn footage. Graham specifically
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: said they should release the footage because the strikes are,
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: in his words, lawful. Least of my concerns is the
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: friggin video. Release it, he said, I have every confidence
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: of what they're doing. Is they're doing is no different
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: than what Bush did. Of course, it's exactly what Bush did.
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: It's also what Obama did. Let us have the information.
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: Otherwise what happens. It's like the Epstein files. If you
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: hide it, we all wonder what in the hell there
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: is to hide. And this video or this video would
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: reveal information about the controversial or maybe not blowing up
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: of the second that the two Narco terrorists that still survived.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: Why can't we know about that? If it's all above board,
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: give it to us or maybe huh, maybe it's not.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: It certainly invites that question, mark, doesn't it? Just give
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: us the information? Six seventeen Right now, if you five
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: KCD talk station foreign exchange that you're imported audible stations
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: six twenty three, fifty goot care see the talk station.
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: Here's a quick fun question here, uh chips opining, Well,
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: stuff they may not want to us to know, or
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: something that pete eggs that might not want to be revealed.
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: Maybe that laser site was on one of the boats,
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: meaning there was a nearby human resource. Maybe I mean
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: like someone on one of the multitude of naval boats
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: in the Armada that's off the coast of Venezuela. Yeah,
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: I think that might be a likely source of targeting.
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: Is that some big revelation that we need to hide? Anyhow,
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: I don't have the end all be all answers to everything.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: I just find it kind of interesting. You don't want
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: these types of things to be able to fester. And
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: I doubt there's really anything substantive in that. And you know,
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: if there's conversation back and forth, you can bleep out
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: the conversation and you can quote unquote sort of redact
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: it electronically and let our politicians argue among themselves about
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: whatever has been redacted is really truly some sort of
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: state secret In my efforts to continue transparency, Joe Biden
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: doesn't want any transparency. He sent a letter over to
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: are the Archival Operations Division or the National Archives and
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: Records Administration. That's I guess who's who's got all of
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: his information and all the documents from his presidency. Quote.
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: I am concerned that the disclosure of these materials I
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: might enter jack materials related to his use of the
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: auto pen controversial as it was, did he specifically give
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: the authority? We don't know you have to give the
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: specific authority extra to use the auto pen. Many are
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: opining and believe that he did not, and that his
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: aids the puppet masters, whoever was you know, running the
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: ship behind Joe Biden's addled brain, actually did the authorization
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: and executed or use the auto pen. But he doesn't
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: want that information released. He claims it will it'll impair
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: the ability of future presidents to receive robust candidate advice
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: from close advisors. For these reasons, I hear by assert
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: executive privilege over the documents listed. He said, I've raised
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: no objections to multiple requests for presidential records from my administration,
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera. But these records specifically reflect presidential
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: decision making and deliberations. So he's worried about the future
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: president he's worried about Donald Trump. The White House responded, saying, uh, now,
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: we're denying the calls for executive immunity. As President Trump
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: has stated, of the abuse of the autopen that took
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: place under the Biden presidency and the extraordinary efforts to
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: shield Biden's diminished faculties from the public, must be subject
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: to a full accounting. I'm sure that nothing similar ever
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: happens again. He also appointed out Biden's repeated abuses of
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: the rights of American citizens during the pandemic, his politically
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: motivated efforts to investigate members of Congress MMMM should also
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: be subject to a full accounting to ensure that nothing
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: similar ever happens again. Which is a great point, which
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: is why I'm all about letting these records come out,
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: most notably given the fact that we just found out
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: that the FBI did not have probable cause to raid
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: Marl Lago to get the claimed classified documents from Donald
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: Trump's possession. Now we know this, the memos are out.
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: They had no problem cause they did it. Anyway, Is
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: this the kind of information you and I should be
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: entitled to, including whether the auto pen was abused, And
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: if you don't let us have the records, the questions
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: will swirl, the conversations will continue, and of course the
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: conspiracy theories will emerge over and over and over again.
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: What would solve all that problem transparency Epstein files. Give
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: us the dam files. Everything will shut up, everybody will
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: shut up. Just give it to us, or they'll make
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: hay out of maybe probably nothing, but that's going to happen.
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: They're making hay and they're they're making articles and accusations
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: in the absence of information. Oh my god, so and
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: so is implicated in the Epstein. Okay, implicated says, you
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: give us a documents and we'll know if what you're
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: saying is true. Six twenty seven fifty five KCD Talk

• 52:24
  Speaker 2: I've got somebody online. You can also be online. I'll
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: take your call after the next caller five one, three, seven, four, nine,
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three talk pound
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: five fifty on eight and t founds. Welcome back. Maureen's
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: good to hear from me this morning.
• 52:36
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Brian. As you remember when I called them Monday,
• 52:39
  Speaker 5: I told you about how the depositions were supposed to
• 52:41
  Speaker 5: take place with Bill Clinton today and Hillary tomorrow. Well
• 52:47
  Speaker 5: they've postponed it. Oh yeah, now it's going to be
• 52:50
  Speaker 5: January thirteenth and fourteenth. And they're citing that it was
• 52:55
  Speaker 5: reason it's due to a funeral that they need to
• 52:57
  Speaker 5: attend somebody else they killed.
• 53:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well that's the thing.
• 53:01
  Speaker 5: Somebody put in the comments. Whose funeral is it?
• 53:04
  Speaker 10: And is it?
• 53:04
  Speaker 5: They haven't decided yet.
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: That's good high comedy.
• 53:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah. So anyway, but the Epstein Files Transparency Act, you know,
• 53:15
  Speaker 5: that was past the November and it was given thirty
• 53:18
  Speaker 5: days and I mentioned mayday that that thirty days is
• 53:20
  Speaker 5: up this Friday, so that is going to be coming out.
• 53:24
  Speaker 5: And that's all the information from, you know, the sealed indictments.
• 53:28
  Speaker 5: So that should reveal pretty much well.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: Well until we see it will be Maureen, And I
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: guess I have to ask out loud since this information
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: was all behind the scenes and apparently accessible by at
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: least some elected officials, at least under the Biden administration.
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: Of course, now the Trump administration, don't you think given
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: all the leaks that we've seen. If there was anything
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: really horrifically damning in there that somebody on one side
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: of the political ledger would have released it already for
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: their own advantage. I think this is going to be
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: my listen, my tea leaves say, this is going to
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: be a big nothing burger.
• 54:00
  Speaker 5: What do you think, Well, I think it's going to
• 54:03
  Speaker 5: be more. I think it's going to unfold slowly, but
• 54:06
  Speaker 5: it will. I think it's a big sting operation. And
• 54:09
  Speaker 5: I also think the election brought is a big sting operation.
• 54:13
  Speaker 5: And I think it's all it is all going to
• 54:14
  Speaker 5: be revealed. But now Nancy Pelosi has been given a
• 54:18
  Speaker 5: subpoena by the Justice Department of Justice in California, and
• 54:23
  Speaker 5: that's related to January sixth. That news came out yesterday.
• 54:27
  Speaker 5: That should be something interesting that's going to unfold. But
• 54:30
  Speaker 5: also Trumps speaking tonight, and there's a lot of speculation
• 54:33
  Speaker 5: about what that topic is going to be. And I
• 54:36
  Speaker 5: don't know if it's I mentioned Monday about how we
• 54:38
  Speaker 5: may be instituting a national election emergency. I don't know
• 54:42
  Speaker 5: if that's what it's going to be. But Telsea Gabert
• 54:44
  Speaker 5: has been out speaking being pretty outspoken about the investigation
• 54:48
  Speaker 5: of the electronic voting machines and paper by midterms.
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: We can speculate all day long until you start talking
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: about it. I guess my submarine or friend curbage Mike
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: segu And maybe tonight he's going to be talking about
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: dropping bombs on Venezuela. Since he just declared the whole
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: regime a terrorist operation that coupled with weapons of mass destruction.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: The label he's now given to fentanyl sounds to me
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: like we're setting ourselves up for Iraq too. Maybe he'll
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: address that. We'll see. Yeah that, Maureen, I know your
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: popcorns out, My popcorns out.
• 55:20
  Speaker 7: That's right.
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: I'll continue to enjoy it until I get the info.
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: You know me, I like to see concrete information. Thank you, Maureen.
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: I do appreciate your thoughts and comments and all of
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: your inside info you send me on Facebook. Please say
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: investigating a shooting Winton Hills, which of all the police
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: chase having. Yesterday two forty five pm, police officers were
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: called the forty forty seven hundred block of East Avenue
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: for a reported shooting victim eighteen years old out of
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: the SD Avenue scene while giving victim medical attention. Police
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: say officers relate information about the suspect and the vehicle
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: involved in the shooting. Thereafter, Please since I. Police say
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: officers found a vehicle matching description. They tried to stop
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: the vehicle, but the driver refused and kept driving. A
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: chase followed. Police were able to stop the vehicle. Person
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: was detained by the officers. Police could not confirm if
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: that person was tied to the shooting. Police said no
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: suspects are in custody. The victim is expected to be okay.
• 56:16

• 56:45
  Speaker 2: with a big Picture today a Christmas A classic Christmas movie.
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: I'm optimistic you might, you know, try to get us
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: in the holiday spirit. Jack out again after the top
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: of the air news. Let's go to the phones five one, three, seven,
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: nine fifty hundred and eighty two to three talk or
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: a pound five fifty on AT and T phones. Jeff,
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: thanks for calling this morning, Welcome to the show.
• 57:04
  Speaker 7: Good morning, sir, and thank you for work. And I
• 57:07
  Speaker 7: have a question. I heard you say something regarding them
• 57:12
  Speaker 7: going into Donald Trump's place down at mar A Largo
• 57:16
  Speaker 7: and they didn't have a search warrant.
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: Now assuming no, they had a warrant, but they have
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: the FBI internals, and I was going to get to
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: that next, but here jump into the gun. The internal
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: FBI folks who were writing heard over it do not believe,
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: or did not at the time, believe they had established
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: probable cause to get a search warrant. You got to
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: go to court and say here's the reason why we're
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: you know, it's it's worthy for you to issue a
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: warrant probable cause, we have evidence indicator crimes being committed,
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: which allows us to search the place. There was a
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: question within the FBI whether they even had probable cause
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: to go in. They had no evidence, and they were
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: looking around for it and couldn't find any. And yet
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: a warrant was issued, none of us.
• 57:56
  Speaker 7: I understand you saying that, But isn't there something illegal
• 58:01
  Speaker 7: about having no idea of what they're talking about and
• 58:05
  Speaker 7: they just go in anyway.
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's a violation, James Cope, it's a constitutional violation.
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: That's a civil rights violation, caught a Fourth Amendment violation?
• 58:15
  Speaker 7: Is it too? Is it too much of an assumption
• 58:18
  Speaker 7: to say that.
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: Did we lose them the Jeff you just trailed off?
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: Is it too much of an assumption? That was the
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: last word.
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: I heard, too.
• 58:32
  Speaker 7: Much of an assumption to say that James Comy or
• 58:35
  Speaker 7: whoever was in charge of the FBI should be held
• 58:38
  Speaker 7: legally liable for that. That's his job. He's supposed to
• 58:41
  Speaker 7: know what the heck's going on.
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: That's right. That's why I'm happy to see the files
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: that have just been released. These documents from behind the
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: scenes reflect that they did not believe they had probable cause,
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: you know, l and behold they were magically able to
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: get a search more an issue by a judge. I
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: the first time this has been revealed, and it is
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: a civil rights violation. Yes, someone can be held accountable. Question,
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: will anybody be held accountable? The everlasting question that is
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: always swirling about some issue, most notably about the activities
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: against Donald Trump during the prior administration. Suns so dive
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: into details on that the FBI didn't believe it had
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: probable cause. According to the Senator Chuck Grassley, who got
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: into the documents, the FBI Washington Field Office said, quote,
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: it does not believe and has articulated to the Department
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: of Justice that we have established probable cause for the
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: search warrant for classified records at mar Lago. That's one
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: of the records document continues. DOJ has opined that they
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: do have probable cause requesting a wide scope including residents
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: office storage based close quote well, that would include Milania
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: Trump's garment drawer and her underwear drawer that they rifled through,
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: as well the broad search that they wanted, which they got. Apparently.
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: The official noted that the agents had spent six weeks
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: trying to establish probable cause, but those efforts were counterproductive.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: According to the official in the bureau's Washington Field office, quote,
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: we haven't generated any new facts, but we keep being
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: given a draft after draft absent a witness coming forward
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: with recent information about classified on site, meaning that there
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: are classified documents there. There was just speculation that there were.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: At what point is it fair to table this? In
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: other words, give up on trying to find probable cause.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: The same interviews with witnesses also did not yield any
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: proof that sensitive intelligence files were hidden at the form
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: or that Trump's estate, since he returned a whole bunch
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: of the documents. Back in June of twenty twenty two,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: Senator Grassley, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, posted on x
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: that these records were shocking, these revelations, pointing out the
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: FBI didn't it self believe it had probable cause to
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: raid Trump's residents, but they did it anyway, and the DOJ,
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: in spite of the field agents saying we don't have
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: enough information to get a warrant, pushed it forward, ignoring
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: their own people and their own analysis. Says the communications
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: revealed the bureau wanted the warrant to be executed quote
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: in a professional, low key manner, mindful of the optics
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: of the search. Well, I think you probably remember what
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: do they do? They called CNN up. They all had
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: their camerackers ready for the FBI agents to roll in,
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: guns pulled, kicking in doors, rifling through the residents. Yeah,
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: that was real low key, and that trip was most
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: assuredly not necessary, whether they had a legitimate warn or not.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: It's just crazy. I mean, this is why all this
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: is worthy of being investigated. It shouldn't happen to a
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: Republican president. It certainly shouldn't happen to a Democrat president.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: It shouldn't happen. Our elected officials are supposed to treat
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: all of us equal under the laws. If you don't
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: have pill cause, you don't have probable cause, give it up.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: But no, we've got to go after evil Orange men.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: We'll do it anyway, we damn well please. And I
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: love the optics they having CNN there showing all the
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: FBI agents with the lights flashing in, guns pulled and
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: kicking in the door. Trump's how something must have been
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: going on in there. Evil Orange men most assuredly had
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: classified documents. Yeah, how'd that work out for you?
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: Look, he's president. He won the popular vote in the
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: electoral college. Interesting that six forty six right now, feel
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: free to get a call Chimney Care fireplaces to have
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: another call you should make to take care. It's six
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: fifty one and fifty five kre C detalk station, Jack
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: Avid in after the top of the hour news Big Picture,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: a classic Christmas movie, and then Donovan and Eil with
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: some endorsements AFP's God Americans for Prosperity for the twenty
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: twenty six elections. So that's coming up. Hope you can
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: stick around for that and feel free to call Tom's
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: on the phone. You can call as well five one, three, seven,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: four nine fifty eight hundred and eight two three talk Tom,
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: thanks for calling this morning. Happy Wednesday to you.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 11: Happy one say to you.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 12: So it looks like Mike de Wine and David Yost
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 12: and Keith Favor, they're really taking a special interest in
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 12: all these Haitians living up in Springfield, Ohio, which they're
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 12: going to lose their temporary protection status on February third,
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 12: and we the taxpayers have been paying tens of millions
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 12: of dollars helping them run these health clinics, driving schools,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 12: language classes for them that learn English, and all the
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 12: businesses like the landscaping companies, roofing and manufacturing companies in
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 12: that general area. They're getting all this cheap labor, yet
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 12: they're really not passing on any of these if you
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 12: could hire a contractor to do your landscaping, you're not
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 12: getting a price break because they're getting that cheaper labor
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 12: on the backs of the other taxpayer. So that's like
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 12: playing favoritism to his group of buddies up in that
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 12: Springfield area, which he takes such a big interest. He
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 12: doesn't want to see them all going back and being
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 12: shipped out of here. But yeah, there's another one of
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 12: our Yeah, you go ahead.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: Mind, I can't speak to what any given landscaping company,
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: even if they're hiring Haitians sort of doing the landscaping work,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: are are are passing along a discount to the consumer
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: or not. You know, it's a competitive world out there,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: and there are other landscaping companies, and so if you
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: do competitive bidding, you're going to find out whether one
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: bid is higher than another. But that's up to them.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it is rather interesting that he has such
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: an engaged interest in the protecting the Haitian community and
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: preventing Trump from well operating under his his band. His
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: banning of Haitians from their temporary immigration status. You know,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: it's a temporary thing. It never wasn't meant to be permanent,
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: was it. Right right, new administration, new sheriff in town,
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: new policies, we all have to deal with that.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 12: Mist Swami pronounce his name correctly.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: But Rama Swami Ram Well, hopefully he'll do a better job.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: I think he's assured us Hioans that that is his platform.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: He's willing to cooperate with the federal government, and I
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: don't want to put words in his mouth, at least
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: in so far as ice enforcement actions are concerned. He's
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: not going to make Ohio a sanctuary state. We can
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: all be confident in that question marks swirling around where
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: the wine's coming from on this position. I don't know
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: what it is about the Haitian community up in Springfield.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know how the residents of Springfield feel about it,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: but maybe it is an employment related thing because one
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: of the specific comments he made nobody's going to fill
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: these jobs. There will be no one to fill these jobs.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: First off, I don't know where that what particular industries
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: the Haitian community is operating. Maybe it's landscaping, I don't know.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: I'm not painting with that broad of a bridge. Probably
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: impacted some degree, But why aren't there enough people to
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: fill these jobs? Are these jobs Americans won't do, a
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: term that I find rather offensive. You don't have a job,
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: you're not working that is a job you can do.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: I presume if it's a menial labor job, it won't
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: be a permanent job. Much in the same way working
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: at McDonald's as a burger flipper is not intended to
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: be permanent employment, as a stepping stone to establish a
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: record and prove that you can show up to work
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: on time while you do make some money and use
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: that experience and as a segue to go get a
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: different job. That's the way it always worked. I don't
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: know why I can't work now, but yeah. Let's look
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: into the reasons Mike Dwine has such a keen interest
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: in the Haitian community in Springfield. Let's look into Mike
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: DeWine and why he has such a keen interest in
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: a variety of different things that seemed contrary to Republican
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: Party platforms and principles, at least traditional ones. Let's ask
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: Mike DeWine why he seems to be protecting Amy acton
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: who's going to be the one opposing vveg Ramaswami in
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: the upcoming up good natorial election. He went out on
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: a limb to point out the bucks stopped with him
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: and so far as lockdowns were concerned. But he's not
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: a doctor, is he. Do you think he came up
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: with the ideas? No Amy Acton came up with him,
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: and while it is under his administration, and he did
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: pick that very blue Democrat to have that position. Question
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: mark swirling about that one as well. He didn't have
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: to accept a recommendation, but he did so her ideas.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: And if you're choosing a candidate just because you have
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: a governor that followed along with some bad ideas, do
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: you want the person who came up with the bad
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: ideas to run the entire state. I'm a firm no
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: on that one. We'll have time between now and November
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: to figure it out on our own, and there will
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: be debates. I can pretty much count on that. Six
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: fifty five ifty five Krsity talk Station Jack Avid in
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: up next, and Donald and Neil at seven thirty will
• 1:07:26

  Speaker 2: Welcome Christmas music there for the Vinzcarraldi trio. You know
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: how much I love that, and you know how much
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: I love having Jack avid In on the program. It
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: is the time of week at seven oh five every
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: Wednesday we do what we call the Big Picture with
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: Jack adid In. Welcome Back, my friend. Is always a
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: real pleasure to he on the show.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 10: Oh Ho ho, pal, Yes, we're gonna smile this morning.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: Goodness the classic Christmas movie. The topic that was given
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: me for your subject matter this morning is, oh, maybe
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: Jack will get us in the Christmas spirit. Nobody could
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: do it better than you.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 10: I brought that up because Brian, as you've been noting,
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 10: there are a lot of maddening things we could talk about.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 10: One that we have been and that's getting overlooked now
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 10: with all the violence. Republican lawmakers, with the exception of
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 10: a very few like Grand Paul, having done nothing since
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 10: twenty seventeen about replacing Obamacare with free market reforms that
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 10: would cost us nothing. This could cost us instead the midterms,
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 10: and we've done nothing because these lawmakers are bought and
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 10: paid for by insurance and pharmaceutical donors or ahead of
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 10: the President's speech tonight, we could discuss blockading Venezuela like
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 10: it or not, it's an active war, folks. We could
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 10: talk about Brown University shooting the hon A combassacre in Australia.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 10: We could talk about Rob Reiner because speaking of Rob
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 10: Reiner and this is what gave me the idea. We disagreed,
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 10: but he made a lot of great movies.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: Amen, So let's do this.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 10: Let's be happy for this last time we get together
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 10: before Christmas and talk about our favorite Christmas movies. Mine
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 10: actually has a somewhat serious message, but it's a comedy.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 10: What's your favorite Christmas movie?
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: Brian Oh, Charlie Brown's Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown. I always
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: go to that one because I think the story is
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: an important one. You know, the commercialization of Christmas, and
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: of course the true meaning of Christmas is lost in
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: the commercialization. And you know, Jacket's funny because that movie
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: or that show, of course, half hour show. But I
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: was really an I depression that that was kind of
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: like the genesis of the attack on the commercialization of Christmas.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: I watched Miracle on thirty four Street the other day
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: with my wife, and I can't remember what year it was,
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: nineteen five Orties movie. If I recall correctly, he was
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: black and white. They were attacking the commercial commercialization of
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: Christmas back then too, So this is a phenomenon that's
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: going on a long time. But that one and a
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: Christmas Story, which I really enjoy that one. But that also,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: I think is it puts pressure on parents to, you know,
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: to get their kids every year that red Ryder bebie
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: Gun or an analogous version of that for their kids,
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: because boy, if you don't do that, you're not a
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: good parent. So there's a kind of a mixed message
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: built into that one.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 10: Jack Well, you remember Linus's last line, but he tells
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 10: the Christmas story. That's what Christmas is all about. Charlie Brown. Yeah,
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 10: and you know, as far as Jeane Shepherd goes, who
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 10: I used to listen to on the radio in New York,
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 10: I don't know if they played them out here. Obviously,
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 10: nobody ever told little Brian Thomas, you'll shoot your eye
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 10: out thistle Pete Hexset's Department of War envies this man's arsenal.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 10: And yes, one of my family's favorites is the original
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 10: Miracle on thirty fourth Street. They remade it, but it's
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 10: not as good. When they were small, our girls knew
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 10: there were a lot of different guys in red suits
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 10: who take a picture with you were shopping malls. But
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 10: the real Sata Clause was the one who worked at
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 10: Macy's in New York City and then slid down our chimney. However, however,
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 10: the number one Christmas movie in our house is one
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 10: you may not have heard of. It's one of the
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 10: great films of Hollywood's Golden Age, Diehard The Shop around
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 10: the Corner. The Shop around the Corner has a plot
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 10: that is so great it's been remade twice and turned
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 10: into a Broadway show. Here's the story. In a small
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 10: leather good shop, two co workers bicker all day long,
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 10: not realizing that at night, anonymously, they've been writing love
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 10: letters to each other. When the movie was updated as
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 10: You've Got Mail, you remember that one. Oh yeah, Tom
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 10: Hanks was the big bad owner of a book store, Shane,
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 10: that was putting Meg Ryan's little shop out of business.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 10: The original Shop around the Corner did not have an
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 10: anti capitalist agenda. That's new Hollywood. Instead, this nineteen forty
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 10: film showed how a half dozen employees of the shop
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 10: were able to eat during the Great Depression in Europe
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 10: as the Nazis were about to invade thanks to a
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 10: crazy entrepreneur and his small business. The cast, headed by
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 10: Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullivan, is perfect, and the director
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 10: Ernst Lubich managed w witty, warm hearted comedy like nobody else.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 10: But even the remakes remind us that when people see
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 10: a good story, they love seeing it again and again.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 10: How many times have they remade Dickens? Christmas Carol I
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 10: wrote that, yeah, we may started long long before that.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 10: My old friends, the ancient Greeks who invented drama, seldom
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 10: came up with news stories. Hilosophocles Euripides instead told ancient tales.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 10: The audience knew what was coming, but they cherished that familiarity.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 10: Same thing with Shakespeare. He often wrote about history, and
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 10: his other plays told familiar stories too. For instance, there
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 10: had been another Hamlet just before Shakespeare came out with
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 10: his own version. Audiences loved them.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: Both.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 10: Our ancestors loved hearing folk tales about American heroes, mythical
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 10: ones like Paul Bunyan. Today, Paul would be arrested by
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 10: Tim Watson Minnesota for cutting down trees. But Americans also
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 10: used to repeat stories about real life heroes. Maybe George
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 10: Washington as a boy did not actually say I cannot
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 10: tell a lie I chopped down the cherry tree. I
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 10: was never crazy about that story, and George sounded too
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 10: much like Eddie Haskell and leave it to Bee. But
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 10: most of the stories about General Washington, and Washington the
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 10: leader of the Constitutional Convention, and Washington our first president
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 10: who set the example of accepting strong but limited power,
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 10: those stories were all true. That's why even King George
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 10: back in England called our George the greatest man in
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 10: the world. He actually said that we don't see a
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 10: lot of movies today about Washington or Lincoln, much less
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 10: the two Roosevelts or Ronald Reagan, because children are no
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 10: longer taught to honor these heroes the way Romans were
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 10: taught to honor Julius Caesar and British people honored one
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 10: of Shakespeare's kings, King Henry the Fifth. At least they
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 10: used to today, and it's been this way for decades.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 10: I remember it when I was to school, Brian, and
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 10: I'm old schools either don't teach history, or they debunk heroes.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 10: Schools and Hollywood would rather celebrate victims. Even heroes like
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 10: doctor Martin Luther King Junior are not celebrated for over
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 10: coming challenges, for demanding to be judged by his character,
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 10: not the color of his skin. Too many of us
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 10: today just want to remember doctor King as a victim.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 10: There are no historic heroes in the shop are on
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 10: the corner, but there are everyday heroes, men and women
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 10: who stand up for hard work, supporting their families, generosity
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 10: and love. My family love this movie and we think
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 10: you will too. It ends with the merriest, happiest Christmas,
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 10: which is what I wish everyone amid all the craziness,
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 10: especially you and Joe.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: My friends truly appreciate that. Jack. It's a wonderful sentiment.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: Of course, back to you and your loved ones from
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: j Just Trecker and I at the fifty five Casne
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: Morning Show, which you talk about honoring those heroes and
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: the reasons in their accomplishments, I wrote down Cuba. If
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: you recall after the Cuban Revolution, what if Fidel Castro
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: do He would talk endlessly up over and over again
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: about the importance of the revolution, what it meant to
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: overthrow Batista, what it meant for the people of Cuba.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: And it was indoctrination. And they did it in their
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: classrooms and they still do it to this day. The
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: glory of the Cuban Revolution, the glory of Castro, they
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: haven't forgotten about it. As terrible as their situation is,
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: it's that indoctrination and that sort of creation of a
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: love for you know, the late Feedel Castro, like it
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: or not, at least you know, he took the time
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: to ingrain in his citizenship, his citizens how they got
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: from before under that form of corruption, into the system
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: that they got into. We haven't when do we quit
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 2: Why did we quit teaching history? Why do we quit
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: teaching about what our revolution meant and the reasons behind it?
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: Jack Adad and I know taxation without representation was a
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: key element and why we overthrew the reins from England
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: on our country. You know, our children have forgotten about that.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 10: Well, we stopped teaching these stories because the left hates
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 10: the country. It's a terrible thing to say Christmas, and
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 10: I apologize for it. And it's not in keeping it
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 10: with the tone of what I have to say. But
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 10: it's true. They feel this country was doomed from its
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 10: birth because it was unjust. But you don't have to
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 10: wait for Hollywood, folks. If you're looking for a good
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 10: Christmas story for your kids or grandkids, tell it yourself.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 10: I mean, how about this one about our Fidel Castros
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 10: not the way to put it, perhaps, although let's face it,
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 10: Fidel was heroic going up against Batista. Let's talk about
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 10: George Washington on Christmas night in seventeen seventy six, at
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 10: the British forced the general and his starving army out
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 10: of New Jersey into Pennsylvania. Washington and about twenty five
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 10: hundred soldiers, many of them who didn't have shoes or
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 10: hadn't had anything to eat, They crossed the icy Delaware
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 10: River during a hollacious snowstorm. Their password was victory or death.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 10: General Washington's brigades then marched on Trenton, New Jersey, caught
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 10: enemy troops there by surprise and turn the tide of
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 10: the entire war. I don't think Hollywood has made a
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 10: movie about this, but tell the story and show the kids.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 10: Emmanuel Loots his famous painting Washington crossing the Delaware. That
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 10: picture is worth a thousand words and a thousand Hollywood blockbusters.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's great. I think it's a great point, Jack,
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: and just reminds me of a Christmas tradition my wife
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: and I have. We go to the Art Museum and
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: the only purpose of our visit to the Art Museum
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: every year Christmas time is to see the Uh it's
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: it's a painting called the Midnight Mass done by a
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: local artist. Oh it's well over one hundred years old,
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: but it's Mount Adams and it's that that Catholic Church
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: of Mount Adams. You're the one that the steps goes
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: up to and there's you know, you see the lights
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: through the windows, but it's a milk covered a milk
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: painting covered, so it looks, you know, foggy and snowy,
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: and the rest of Mount Adams is almost completely dark.
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 2: There's one little lit window here and there. We'll stare
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: at that for fifteen or twenty minutes every year because
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: it's just to me and to my wife, it just
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: kind of sums up the Christmas feeling and the Christmas attitude.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: We always walk out with a real positive spirit about that.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: So if you're looking for something else to do along
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: those lines. I don't over to the art Museum, but
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: I got to comment real quick here because I talked
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: about the commercialization of Christmas. Of course, Charlie Brown does
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: and The Miracle on thirty Fourth Street as great a
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: movie as it was, you know it was. It's an
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: uplifting movie and everything, but they too had a lot
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: of this sole commercial commercialization component in that movie. Remember
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: of the Macy's in Gimbals Battle. Macy's was the store
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: where the Santa Claus was working, and he was referring
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: people over to Gimbals, the competitor, or other stores that
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: had the goods that the people were in the store
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: looking for. And everybody went crazy, like, oh my god,
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: he's referring business. He's going to impact our profit margin.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: As it turns out, everybody was so happy with it.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: More people wanted to shop in Macy's because they engaged
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: in that policy, you know, helping people out. That's called goodwill,
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: and it can innure to your benefit even if it
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: doesn't improve your bottom line, right Jack, Yeah, And.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 10: It happens even now you'll have employees that will really
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 10: help you. I mean the amount of time that they'll
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 10: spend on the phone with you for Amazon or some
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 10: of these other It was just on with Spectrum the
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 10: other day. It's incredible. Unfortunately, more and more of those
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 10: good people are becoming AI robots. Yeah, that's a whole
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 10: different topic.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: It is Jack Advan, Merry Christmas to you and Ainsley,
• 1:20:25

  Speaker 2: FOP president Dan Hills. It is the Immaculated Church got
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 2: a text. I couldn't remember this in Midnight Mass. You
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: can see it at the Art Museum. It's the artist
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 2: was Edward Timothy Hurley and it was painted in nineteen eleven. Anyway,
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: that's an annual visit for my wife and me, and
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to doing it again. And I said thanks.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 2: I guess I could argue because I'm not Catholic, that
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: I didn't know the name, but anybody who's lived in

• 1:21:23
  Speaker 2: quick here before we get to Americans for Prosperities, Donald
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: and Neil. Joey, thanks for calling this morning.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 7: Welcome, Hey, you're welcome.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 6: Hey.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 11: I just wanted to comment on Jack Is. His voice
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 11: is so sincere and commanding and heartfelt and everything. The
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 11: way he's just sell the truth about any particular situation.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 11: He is very Paul.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 2: Harvey like, you know why, Joey, because he is that's him.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can't. It's like I sing on the
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: Morning Show. I've said it before, Joey. You know when
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: I speak for a sponsor. I couldn't lie to you, Joey.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know you faced face, but I wouldn't lie
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: to you. You listen to the program. Why would I lie?
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 2: Jack Evans, he sounds believable. He sounds compelling is because
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 2: he believes in what he says. He's not trying to
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: pull some kind of stunt. And nobody can lie all
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 2: the time and get away with it. You can hear
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: it in the voice inflection, right, you know, when someone's
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: trying to pull a ruse.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 11: He's incredible. He really should almost go nationally. And I
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 11: know this is big, but start here or whatever. And
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 11: you know, once every other hour during the day, when
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 11: you heard Paul Harvey's five minutes, it was so refreshing. Yeah,
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 11: and man, he is just incredible. He really should consider
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 11: doing something like that. And the other thing I want
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 11: to point out, just real quick for hang up is
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 11: some of the comparisons you're given to movies. I had
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 11: an incredible experience myself that I did something really big
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 11: for a couple of younger people and they found out
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 11: what a history Buffy was. And this has been a
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 11: few years ago, and they were talking about, my god,
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 11: what's going on. One kid in fifth third Bank could
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 11: wait till I come in to get analogy of what
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 11: was happening currently in the world, which was really bad
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 11: going on a few years ago. And finally him and
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 11: a bagger at Kroger.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 7: To be honest with you, couldn't wait to pick my.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 11: Brain every day to get advice, almost like fatherlike advice.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 11: And I kept telling them and it dawn on me
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 11: one day with the kid in the bank, I said,
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 11: you know what, have you ever watched Chandler's List? Had
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 11: no idea what it was. I said, I'm going to
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 11: tell you something. Over the weekend. I want you to
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 11: take the time and rent and go get the movie
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 11: or rent it whatever you do, and watch Schindler's List.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 11: It'll give you the best parallel to the road that
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 11: we're heading down, and explain it to you because they
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 11: don't in school, and they didn't in school with you
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 11: obviously of what is happening and what could happen. And
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 11: you know, both those kids watch Schindler's List and it
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 11: is a tool to teach a young mind, to just
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 11: really give them some enlightenment that they're not getting at school.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 11: Both those kids will never forget me because of watching
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 11: that movie.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 2: Excellent suggestion, Joey. Outstanding suggestion. I'm glad you called up,
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 2: and I appreciate your kind words for jack Athan and
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 2: I share your comments and your sentiments and Yeah, that
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: is an outstanding movie, you know, talking about great teacher.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 11: Tell a young mind to watch that.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you knew you had a lazy teacher in school
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: when they would fire a movie up rather than teach class. Well,
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: I think that's a worthy endeavor. Fire up that particular
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: movie and it will be a great learning experience for
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 2: the young people. Just consider it. Thank you, Joey, God
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 2: bless you, sir, and Merry Christmas to you and yours.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 2: Donovan O'Neil from Americans for Prosperity, Welcome back to the
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 2: fifty five Carcey Morning Show, my friend Brian. Great to
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: be with you, as always, always a pleasure. Now you've
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: got some AFP has some endorsements. I mean, we're already
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 2: talking about the November twenty sixth elections, Donovan. I know
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: that comes as no shock to you. It's certainly not
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: a shock to me. But it seems like we've been
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 2: talking about it now for a couple of years. Ever
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 2: since Trump was sworn in. Everybody's looking forward to the
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 2: midterm elections and oh my god, the Democrats are going
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: to wall up the Republicans and we'll see how that goes.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 2: But you've got some endorsements already. But before we get
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 2: to that, I don't want to throw a curveball your direction, Donovan,
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 2: but I'm curious to know if you've reached any conclusion
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: about what the hell Governor Mike DeWine's issue is with
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 2: VV Ramaswami and his seemingly providing some cover for Amy
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 2: acton Amy lockdown acting, he said, no, the buck stops
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 2: with me. All those decisions were mine, in spite of
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 2: the fact he's not a doctor and he didn't create
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: the ideas of lockdowns. Those were exclusively hers. But why
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: hasn't he endorsed Vvke in spite of the fact the
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 2: Republican Party has already? Do you can you make any
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: you know, can you come to any conclusion or have
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 2: you drawn any conclusions about that at AFP Donovan?
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: My observation there, Brian is that it's a fundamental difference
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: in visions for the state, and you know you have
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: that in a political party, right, they're both Republicans. But
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: the vision Mike Dwine has for the state, as we've
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: seen play out over the last several years, has been
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: more spending, bigger government. There've been good things done here, right,
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: but I think what you see with vakas somebody's bold
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: and going to move the state in a dramatically different direction,
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: in my opinion, for the better. And so I don't
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: know how that kind of stuff gets plays out in
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: a public facing environment, but I think, you know, we're
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: going to stay the course and stay focused on twenty
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: six and the opportunity that presents, as well as with
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: the next governor, the ability to do the big, bold
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: things that we've been talking about for the last five
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: years in our Buckeye Blueprint, like lowering taxes, expanding education, opportunity,
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: cutting a tape, and so that's where that's where our
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: focus is. And we think a new governor is going
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: to provide a lot of great opportunities rather than a
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: lot of really bad vetos, which is what we've seen
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: this year from Governor to Wine.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: Well in the big hurdle that the facing Republicans generally speaking,
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 2: Trump generally speaking, and of course something that might very well,
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 2: very well impact them interm elections and moving away from
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 2: Obamacare and whether or not we get subsidies out there.
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 2: But in inflation, and I keep you know, hearing, oh
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: my god, Donald Trump, it's his fault. Inflation inflation, inflation.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 2: I just looked at something like, look at the state
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: of California and compared to you're just here in the
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 2: state of Ohio. In spite of what Governor de Wine's
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: done here, and I know he has caused prices to
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 2: perhaps go up because of the red tape you mentioned.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 2: The more red tape, the more expensive it is. How
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: much is a gallon of gas in California, It's like
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 2: five bucks. Nationally we're under three bucks. Wonder why that is.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 2: Is that inflation? No, it's California sticking it to their
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 2: own people. It's too expensive to buy gas there because
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 2: of all the regulatory environment. Build yourself a fifteen hundred
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: square foot house in California and compared to building one
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: here or pretty much any other state, not any other
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: red state, it's a fraction of the cost. Why is
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 2: that regulatory hurdles, impositions of costs and fines and all
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 2: other form of government control to make it impossible to
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 2: buy something, You know, we do it to ourselves. The
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 2: green energy policy, I mean Barack Obama set it out loud.
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 2: The price of gas will necessarily increase, not naturally based
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 2: upon the laws of supplying demand, but the regulatory environment
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: that choked the oil and gas industry to the point
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: where it became too expensive. These are self created problems
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 2: that are easily solvable by getting rid of the red tape.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: Oh totally, Well, there was an opportunity to do that
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: included in the most recent state budget. It was vetoed
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: by the governor. We've got a handful of property tax
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: reform bills, right, folks. That's been the number one issue
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: for Ohioans for the last several years, as their property
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: taxes have spiked. Those bills are still sitting on a
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 1: desk in the Governor's mansion awaiting signature. But beyond just
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: governor one, I agree with you, Brian, like I typically do,
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: which is that you know, a lot of the problems
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: our nation faces are state faces. Are problems created by
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: government allowing bureaucrats and elected officials to take and these
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: so called experts right to take and control our lives
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: and control the regulatory environment that we have to live in.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: And it doesn't have to be that way. We don't
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: have to have leaders who look to take our freedom
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: and the liberties from us. We kind of like leaders
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: who are going to protect us from government and that's
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: what you know, you and your listeners know we at
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: AFP Ohio are working to do every day.
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 2: And that's because and that's you vetted candidates which you're
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 2: going to talk about here in the next segment that
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 2: you know obviously are in line with what you and
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 2: I are talking about tomorrow. So we'll find out about
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 2: these endorsed candidates for Americans for Prosperity with Donovan and'
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 2: neil pause from Roman, let me first mention plumb type
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 2: plumbing plumbing the station, Happy Wednesday. Brian Thomas here with
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 2: Donovan and Neil from Americans for Prosperity. You can probably
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 2: get some tips here at the end of the segment
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 2: with Donovan on how we can get involved, and getting
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: involved in advance of November of next year is really
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 2: important thing to do. Get to know your candidates and
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 2: the endorsed candidates from Americans for Prosperity. We've got a
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 2: few of them to talk about this morning. Do you,
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 2: in advance of endorsing in particular candidate Donovan, do you
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 2: sit down with them face to face and talk with them.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 2: You just look at their campaign materials, what they've said
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 2: before the record. How does that all go or is
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 2: it a multitude of all the four going?
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: Well, it's a multitude of all of those, right. It's
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: not something that we just pass out. You know, party
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: designation doesn't weigh in. You know, these dings isn't an
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: automatic qualifier. We we have a policy survey that we
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: we pass out to folks. We then have them sit
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: down and we spend time talking through these things with them.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: And it's a long process right where We've got a
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: great member of our team, Tim Ross, our deputy state
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: director of Political Director, and brought him on a few
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: years back because you know, good policy doesn't just happen
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: out of thin air. It happens because we have good
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: elected officials who folks who wan't vote for send to
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: Washington or Columbus, and when they get there, instead of
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: just going along to get along, they help enact a
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: bold policy agenda. And that's you know a big part
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: of our process when we're talking with these folks and
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: getting it under getting to know them and talking to
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: our activists about the people they see leading in their community.
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: We're looking for folks right who are going to go
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: to Columbus and help move AHIW toos your percent income tax,
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: help empower families with true universal school choice and opportunity,
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: going to cut the red tape and modernize Ohio's broken
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: government system. There's a lot to be done, and it
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: takes bold, committed leaders to get up, get out there
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: and get it done.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 2: Now, I've got advocates for folks getting involved with Central Committee,
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 2: and then I have people who say, oh, the Central
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 2: Committees is a waste of time. We get nothing but
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 2: garbage from them. Do you talk with the Republican Central
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 2: Committee or even the Higo State Republican Party sort of
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 2: via Alex Chreantofilo when you're talking about these different endorsements,
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: or you just leave them out of the equation and
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: do your own thing.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: Well, it to be clear, we were an independent organization,
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: right and we make our own decisions about the kind
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: of the folks we're going to endorse and put our
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: Buckeye Blueprint support behind. But we don't. We have a
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: lot of coalition partners and so folks from you know.
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 7: The.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: Regular political infrastructure of the county parties, state party political parties,
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: to the grassroots organizations and clubs across the state. There
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: are a lot of folks who recognize the impact that
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: our activists tot afp Ohio have and they like to
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: share their opinions. At the end of the day, we
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: make these decisions based on how we're going to advance
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: our policy agenda, the policy agenda that is built through
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: the Buckeye Blueprint listening tours that we do around the
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: state to hear from the grassroots activists who want to
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: see a Boulder, better Buckeye state for all Ohiolands.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 2: Great, so you have just established your independence. You are
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 2: not driven by what they tell you to do or
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 2: what they say. You do your own thing. And perhaps
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 2: then you influence the Central Committee of the Republican Party
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 2: in Ohio through your endorsements, which many would argue you
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 2: have more credibility. All right, moving over, let's talk about
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 2: some of these folks. How about Mike Caho. This is
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 2: District thirty one with that out. That's outside of Act.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: Right, That's right, it's outside of Akron. Mike is great.
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: He former local elected official school board member. Part of
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: that was a member of Lieutenant Governor Houston's team on
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: the Ohio Common Sense Initiative, which is dialed in on
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: finding and reforming broken regulations here in the state of
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: how the regulations that hold folks back, and so Mike
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 1: is a great guy and somebody who when we look
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: at cutting red tape and reforming government, I think is
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: going to have a fresh look at these things and
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: is driven to see those reforms happen. He's seen the
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: problems on the executive side of the equation, and I
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 1: think as a legislator, he's going to help dial in
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: on bills and reforms that are going to help ensure
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: that the power isn't with the bureaucrats and big arcane
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: government buildings, but rather with the people, by way of
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: the legislature, the folks who are supposed to make the
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: laws that govern our state and our people fair enough.
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 2: Vic Sandhu from Ohio House District thirty five, which looks
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 2: like it's one of these suburbs of the greater Cleveland area,
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 2: very blue area, But do we have some hope that
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 2: we can sway some of the folks outside of Cleveland.
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: Vic's actually a longtime activist with us. He'm a business owner.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: He opened up a gas station for one of the
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: gas price rollbacks we did to highlight the impact of Bidenomics.
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: He's somebody who has actually sought us out and it's
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 1: wanted to help understand how he can make an impact
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: after hearing our message and being involved a leader in
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: his own right. But we're really excited to get behind
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: Vic Sandu, business owner gets school choice and really importantly
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: understands that folks shouldn't be forced to pay dues to
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: a union something not a lot of people get.
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, amen to that, my friend, if you might, well,
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: we'll pause. We're bringing back talk about the balance of candidates,
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 2: and we'll get the Harry eyeball from Joe for one
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 2: far too over time. It is seven to forty six
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 2: already more with the talk station seven fifty fifty five
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 2: KERCD talk station Americans for prospec always providing tools for
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 2: you and I to engage in a little baby step
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 2: towards a better future here in Ohio, or you don't
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 2: get actively involved. Anything in between is great from Donovan
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 2: and Hill's perspective, at my perspective. So we're walking through
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 2: some of the already endorsed candidates for coming up in
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 2: November of next year. We've done District thirty one and
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 2: thirty five. How about Jesse Styles for House District fifty seven.
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 2: I am busily trying to find fifty seven on my
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 2: district map. I can't find it. I understand it's outside
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 2: of Columbus or around Columbus. Am I right on that one.
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: Don't go a few hours northeast up to Lake County.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: But you're you're headed in the right direction.
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 2: It's up there north somewhere.
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 6: There.
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: You go, Yeah, it's well. Jesse's great. He a business
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: owner Lake and Lake County father, and you know, and
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: talking with him, He's built a business, He's created jobs,
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: he's paid taxes and felt the burdens of red tape
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: and regulations and so from education, opportunity for or families
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: again as a father to make sure we get Ohio
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: as zero percent income tax to taking a hard look
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 1: at the red tape and regulations. He's dialed in on
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: the things that we believe are going to help move
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: Ohio forward and has the real world experience. So again,
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: when you go into those legislative committees, you're not just
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out from the lobbyists what's truth and
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: not truth. You actually have lived it and can pass
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: laws and vote on things and argue in favor of
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: policies they're going to actually unleash opportunity and abundance for
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: Ohioans across the state.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 2: All Right, I regularly describe Columbus as dysfunctional. We have
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 2: State Senator Andrew Brenner running for Ohio House District sixty one.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 2: I guess he has a record which proves him to
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 2: be worthy of AFP's endorsement.
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Senator Brenner, currently Senator Brenner, hopefully future state Representative
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: Andy Brenner with our support. Andy is one of those
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: folks who has been tireless in the trenches for education, opportunity,
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: school choice. If there is a number one enemy of
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 1: the public teachers' unions, it's Andy Brenner. We're proud to
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: stand alongside him with that distinction because he's focused on
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: opportunity outcome. I've been in his office many times talking
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: about school choice and education, and he consistently points to
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: the amount of money we spend, yet how bad are
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: results we get in our public education system. So supports
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: empowering families first and foremost, and I think should he
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: be elected to the state legislature, he's going to continue
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: to work to reform the system in bold, meaningful ways.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 2: All Right, how about Patty Rocky House District eighty one.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 2: Where's that one to start with?
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's out in northwest Ohio, replacing current Representative Jim
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: Hoops who's term limited out. Patty is a long time
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: fixture in northwest Ohio, a local elected official. She has
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: seen the need for local government reform work in northwest
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: Ohio in that capacity, So when we look at modernizing
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: Ohio government reforming, you know, our state has the sixth
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: most political subdivisions. I think someone like Patty is going
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: to be able to come to Columbus and help drive
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: the conversation on what it's going to take to streamline
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: this massive amount of government we have at the local level,
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: ultimately resulting in lower property taxes and a better return
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: on the taxpayer dollars we all send not to Columbus,
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: but just down the street to our County treasurer County
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: Auditor's office.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 2: Sounds like a fairly consistent lineup so far, Donovan. We're
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 2: going to end with Wesleyan Davis, represent or who may
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 2: represent Ohio House District eighty six.
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we supported her last year last cycle in the
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 1: primary election, came up short, but we're proud to stand
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 1: beside her. Again. You know, she's worked with us, another
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: one of those folks who's been an activist and a
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: volunteer with us. She's gone to the state House testified
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: in support of school choice and education opportunity and when
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: we you know, we remain focused on that issue as
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: a top tier priority for us. Wesleyan's somebody we're proud
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: to endorse once again and we'll look forward to being
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 1: successful in May in her race, ultimately getting her to
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: Columbus so we can we can make sure all child,
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 1: every child, every family has the education opportunity that they're
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: they deserve.
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 2: Fantastic, and she's just she represents the area surrounding Marysville,
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 2: which is at north west of Columbus. So, now, Donovan,
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 2: the importance to my local listening audience that we mentioned
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 2: these various candidatesrom around the state just to sort of
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 2: show what you're doing by way of vetting, is there
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 2: some way we can get involved in these seemingly very
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 2: local issues. What's what's the call to action today? Donovan
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 2: and Neil Americans for Prosperity.
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 1: Call to action is good. At Buckeye blueprint dot com,
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: we have full profiles of each of these candidates, that
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: we've endorsed that you could check out learn more. If
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 1: you want to get involved, there's a way to take
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: action there. We'd love to have you join us. It's
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: going to take a lot of doors, a lot of calls,
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 1: and a lot of volunteer activism to help make this
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: these races successful. This is only the first trunch though
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: as well, Brian, we're not done yet. We're announcing these
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 1: ones now. We'll have more early in twenty twenty six,
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: including many races in southwest Ohio that we're looking forward to.
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: There's a ton of opportunity in twenty six from the
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: state House to the congressional races. AFP AFP Action. Our
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: team is going to be involved in all of them,
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 1: and we need your listeners, Brian, to join alongside us.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 1: Give an hour two hours on a Saturday, knock some doors,
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: remind people to get and vote. Because the headwinds are there,
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: we've got to push back against the policies and the
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: ideas that the Democrats progressives in Washington and Columbus are advancing,
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: the big government Republicans alike. But it takes grassroots action
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: to make that work.
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 2: Yes, it does, get involved AFP makes it so easy
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 2: to do. Donald and Ela has always thank you for
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 2: the tireless efforts on behalf of the Ohio voters and
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 2: the economy here in the state of Ohio. We're looking
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 2: forward to having some better opportunities November, and I hope
• 1:41:07

• 1:41:14
  Speaker 2: to having you let my listeners know about who you
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 2: have endorsed, because of course that independent endorsement and policies
• 1:41:20

  Speaker 2: of yourself. Seven fifty the talk station.

  Speaker 10: I heard Radio.
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 2: Six six fifty five KRCD Talk station. Happy Wednesday, Bobiday,
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 2: I are Judge Jenna Politano, Chuckie Schuman, the Senate going
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 2: after Tucker Carlson for what one of his guests says, well,
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 2: but yeah, I know it's crazy.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 11: Uh.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 2: That's why I'm really looking forward to that subject with
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 2: Judged Apoloton at the bottom. I hope you can. Well,
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 2: you feel free to call. You're welcome to give me
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 2: a ring if there's something you want to talk about.
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 2: Five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five hundred, eight
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 2: hundred eighty two to three talk or pound five fifty
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 2: on AT and T funds. And I mean, I think
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 2: about November as that come on the heels of donin
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 2: the Americans for Prosperity talking about the November elections. Already,
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 2: the Republicans are scrambling. They're concerned. Obamacare obviously a problem.
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 2: The you know, the subsidies are disappearing. They came up
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 2: with no solution the other day, and therefore the price
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 2: of Obamacare is going to go up. Oh my god,
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 2: people are gonna scream, well, gnash teeth, why are the
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 2: prices of Obamacare going to go up? Well, it's because
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 2: it's a poorly created system. It you can't force anybody
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 2: to buy Obamacare. The Supreme Court said that that's a
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 2: good thing. They can't make you engage in commerce, and
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 2: that allowed people who otherwise would have been forced to
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 2: buy Obamacare to not so. The vast majority of people
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 2: signing up for Obamacare are eligible for the subsidies, or
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 2: people who have pre exist in conditions they go over there.
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 2: There's no pre exclusion anymore. That is a massive infusion
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 2: of claims that have to be paid right away. You
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 2: need premium dollars to cover the cost of the claims.
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 2: That's where the premium price comes from. It continues to
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 2: go up as long as the claims exposure is significant,
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 2: and it is, so, what does the government do? A
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 2: problem that they created by virtue of Obamacare is then
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 2: passed along to the American taxpayers by virtue of these supplements,
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 2: these tax write offs, you and I are paying for that.
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 2: The premium didn't go anywhere. It isn't more affordable. And
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 2: that's what really, frankly pisses me off when they're having
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 2: discussions about this. Republicans are make in healthcare more expensive. No,
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 2: they're not. Healthcare is just expensive. Generally speaking, Obamacare as
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 2: a policy is bad because of the way it's designed.
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 2: And you can't hide the financial reality by just glossing
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 2: over it by saying no, no, no, you're not going
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 2: to have to pay a premium. Well, that premium is
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 2: still being paid and of course going directly to the
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 2: to the health insurance companies. So you know, that's not
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 2: a product of the Republicans doing It's a product of Obamacare,
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 2: owned exclusively, lockstock and barrel by the Democrats who enacted it.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 2: So there's that and then the other. So moving away
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 2: from that one as a concern for the Republican Party
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 2: in November inflation and that just really drives me crazy
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 2: that you know, Trump gets the blame for all this inflation,
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 2: and I'm not going to give him a pass for
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 2: jacking up the national debt multiple trillions of dollars under
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 2: his first term. But who's who's done that on steroids?
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 2: It was the Biden administration near the the Green Deal
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 2: and the COVID relief bills that were passing all this
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 2: infusion of literally trillions of dollars. The law of economics
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 2: applies to applies to the fiat currency as well. The
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 2: more of it out there, the less valuable each and
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 2: every individual dollar is. It's not built on anything. It's
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 2: a federal deserve. Note what does that mean? Well, it's
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 2: good for all debts, publican pride, but what's it backed
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 2: by our reputation anymore. It's not gold, it's not silver,
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 2: it's not something concrete that you can exchange it for.
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 2: So there's that problem. The running of the printing press.
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 2: It d values your currency, meaning you need more dollars
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 2: to buy the loaf of bread than you need it
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 2: before they printed out five to twenty extra trillion dollars
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 2: out there. Fine, and you go to like something like coffee,
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, coffee's gone up sixty percent. People are
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 2: actually making it home now. You know, I view that
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 2: as a welcome change. I mean I regularly criticize it.
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 2: And you know, I'm sorry. If this is you. You
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 2: want to go out and have your wonderful and it
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 2: is tasty cup of Starbucks. It comes at significant expense.
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 2: First off, you got to pay a barista who are
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 2: now making twenty plus dollars an now because of mandatory
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 2: minimum wage laws. Who's behind that? Labor costs?
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 2: Shipping costs have gone up. I wonder why that is
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 2: going back? And I know price of gases come down.
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 2: But remember the war on fossil fuels begun under primarily
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 2: the Obama administration. Right, the price of gas will necessarily increase.
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 2: Did it increase because of the laws of supplying demand? No,
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 2: We've got an abundant supply out there, as proven by
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump's all the above energy strategy, as proven by
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 2: the fact that we're now and that exporter of fossil
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 2: fuels from this country. No, it's out there. The policies
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 2: stood in the way of our access to it, causing
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 2: the price of yes, gasoline to go up. Well, we
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 2: got to worry about the climate. Why is the price
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 2: of energy more expensive? Ask the folks in Germany about
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 2: that one. Chasing the zero carbon emission of dream out
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 2: there industry is failing. They pay fifty percent more than
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 2: us at kilowat hour in Germany. Then here, why, Well,
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 2: their policies are held a lot worse than ours. Could
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 2: they solve that problem?
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 2: Quit chasing carbon dioxide, Open a nuclear plant, tap into
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 2: the resources that are generally around you. That you shut
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 2: down because of what climate change a self inflicted wound
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 2: and inflationary reality ripple effect on that one. The cost
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 2: of shipping anything under that kind of regime is going
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 2: to well force you to have to pay more for
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 2: any good or service to you go out and purchase coffee.
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 2: Prices also impacted beyond what you and I control control.
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 2: Adverse weather has been a real problem. You got drought,
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 2: severe weather hitting major producers like Brazil and Vietnam and
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 2: reducing harvest that's been going on for a while and
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 2: supplying demand less coffee out there. You pay more for it,
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 2: and then add in all these other issues that go
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 2: along with it which increase the cost of the coffee price.
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 2: Oh but what about Trump's tariffs? There aren't any tariffs anymore.
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 2: They were lifted in November on Brazil. And how about
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 2: Columbian tariffs, no tariff none as of November, no tariff.
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 2: And then of course vietname coffee. There's no terrif on
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 2: that anymore either. There hasn't been for about a month
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 2: and a half two months now, So you can take
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 2: evil Orange Man out of the equation on that one.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 2: And yes, you're still going to pay more for coffee
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 2: merely because well they're not growing as much as they
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 2: were before. And sorry, it sucks to be us. You
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 2: can't grow coffee here in the United States. But these
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 2: issues have to be unfolded for people. Otherwise it's just
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 2: I went and paid more at Kroger this week than
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 2: I did now two years ago, and evil Orange Man's
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 2: at fault. No, this has been a building problem over time.
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 2: I mentioned California earlier. Is there a state in the
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 2: Union that's more expensive than California? And why is it
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 2: so expensive in California? I mean people went there for
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 2: the scenery, I suppose, and there's a finite amount of
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 2: land in any given place to build it upon. But
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 2: try to build a home in California. Ask the people
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 2: whose house is burned down how quickly the permitting process
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 2: is going. The slow regulatory burden that just burns through cash,
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 2: it acts as an impediment. Supply is decreased. Therefore the
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 2: price goes up. Gallon of gas on California fit four
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 2: to fifty, coming up with five dollars a gallon. It's
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 2: come down for everybody else. Why might that be? Yes,
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 2: all their environmental regulations, the fact that they close down refineries,
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 2: self inflicted wounds. These are not inventions of the conservative
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 2: side of the ledger. The deregulate folks like that. I appreciate.
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 2: I don't care what label they hang on themselves. And
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 2: now are some Republicans are as guilty of this as
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 2: others as Democrats? With ninety nine percent of the time,
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 2: you're a safe bet saying who did this to us? Democrats?
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 2: We do it to ourselves, and then we look around
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 2: for a demon in the room to blame for the
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 2: policies that were designed to do just this, notably like
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 2: the the green policies, and those wouldn't even be a
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 2: thing if it weren't for you paying for it. Was
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 2: anybody out building windmills and solar panels before the credit
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 2: started rolling in, before the government started incentivizing mass a
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 2: huge major corporations, those evil billionaires to engage in this
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 2: carbon capture nonsense, businesses growing out a whole cloth because
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 2: one minute and time ago, we didn't have carbon capture.
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 2: Next minute you label carbon dioxide plant food a danger
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 2: to the world, and you have all these carbon capture
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 2: enterprises and businesses popping up thanks to your taxpayer dollar
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 2: and the federal governments providing tax credits for them to
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 2: engage in economic activity that you and I weren't asking for.
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 2: How well BV thing work out? For the automobile manufacturers
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 2: for it had to write off nineteen billion dollars because
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 2: of evs. They were losing fifty thousand dollars even in
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 2: spite of a seventy five hundred dollars tax credit that
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 2: you could get for buying one major loss. The European
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 2: Unions now turning its back on their former cafe standards.
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 2: They were going to eradicate the internal combustion engine by
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 2: what twenty thirty or something at no more. We're not
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 2: doing that. Why because it's killed German manufacturing and Italian
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 2: manufacturing as well. They make cars there. It's not difficult
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 2: to find the culprit in this inflationary reality we're dealing with.
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 2: And how this gives the Democrats traction is beyond me.
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 2: Maybe you have a different theory or thought about it.
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 2: Love to hear from you. Got a little time before
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 2: judge Judge Entitopolotonic comes on at the bottom of the
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 2: hour of five one, three, seven, four nine, fifty five hundred,
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 2: eight hundred eighty two to three talk pound five fifty
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 2: on at and T phones. I'll be right back. This
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 2: is fifty five KRC and iHeart it's a twenty fifty
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 2: five KRC Detalk Station, Happy Wednesday. Another reminder, I mentioned
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 2: it for the first time. I guess in the last hour.
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 2: We're gonna be a Man Tree Brewery and Blue Ash
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 2: on the seventh of January. And I bring that up only
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 2: because I'm only coming back to work on the fifth Monday,
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 2: the fifth after New Year's Day, so i have two
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 2: days to announce listener lunch. I'm kind of starting a
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 2: little at early the twenty third, my last day on
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 2: the show for the calendar year, and I'm looking forward.
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 2: If you're out there, Rob Ryder, I love having him
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 2: in studio with his guitar to celebrate Christmas and put
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 2: a smile on everybody's face. Hopefully at least mine will
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 2: be smiling. So I segue into a glorious Christmas holiday.
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 2: Five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty eight hundred and
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 2: eight two three talk. Let's see what Dennis has got
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 2: this morning. Dennis, thanks for calling in. Welcome to the show.
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, my pleasure.
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 13: Say we had Do you remember the reign of quainton
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 13: Nell Server here in Cincinnati with the preferred Developer program.
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 13: This is where they would take confiscate parking garages and
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 13: everything that kept the industry and the business is going
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 13: in downtown and then passing them on over to preferred developers.
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 13: For example, Fountain Square West, we're going to get a
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 13: thirteen or fifteen story building, and we end up back
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 13: with a four story building and out one hundred and
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 13: some million dollars That was applied to the West Coast
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 13: pretty much universally, to where nobody really owns their property
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 13: or can develop their property, or even use the property
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 13: with the facility is already in place. That kind of
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 13: corruption has altered everything to where the public doesn't have
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 13: much of us.
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 14: Say, but anybody that's got a good bride by one
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 14: way or another, whether it's wrapped in aluminum foil and
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 14: stuck in some congressman's refrigerator or freezer or other means
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 14: of indirect payments completely corrupted this system in the United.
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 2: States, Well yeah, I mean, my favorite is going back
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 2: to the bomb administration with the Green New Deal stuff,
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 2: when they hand the selected energy companies that were supposed
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 2: to provide these great technologies to US billions and millions
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 2: and billions of dollars flowing out to hand as elected
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 2: companies that ended up in many cases failing right. They
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 2: didn't work, and yet they got the money. How is
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 2: it that they're you know, they got to prove for
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 2: technology and they got millions and millions of dollars of
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 2: tax payer money. It failed miserably. This is what happens,
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 2: you know, go locally to connected communities, dentnis. That dictates
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 2: the terms of the type of architecture you can build
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 2: and the size of the scope of the houses that
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 2: you can build in the city. Say, it's a change
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 2: in zoning laws, effectively, but what does it do? They
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 2: want denser urban housing, They want a whole lot of
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 2: people to be concentrated in small environment. You can't have
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 2: that when you have free land ownership and the free
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 2: right to build whatever you damn well please in terms
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 2: of your residence. This extends out over all areas of
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 2: government dentists, and there it is right in front of
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 2: you for all to see. The problem is that people
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 2: apparently just forget about all that when they go into
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 2: the booth like I hate evil orange man, I'm going
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 2: to vote for more of what brought me to this
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 2: parallels position. I don't is it stupidity out there? I
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 2: don't think I think the average human being can handle
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 2: and understand these concepts. It's just that nobody bothers explaining
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 2: them to them, or they're just not willing to take
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 2: the time to look behind the veneer of something as
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 2: simple as a meme or evil orange man. But unless
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 2: you're wed to this whole woke leftist communism philosophy and
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 2: you really truly believe that that works, that it just
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 2: hasn't been done right yet, you're a useful idiot. And
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 2: the power brokers of the world that we always talk about,
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 2: you know, now it seems that the major power workers,
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 2: these evil billionaires, have all become kind of left wing democrats,
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 2: haven't they. Why Because they're the ones that get the
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 2: large s that we're just talking about. They're the ones
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 2: that get hands selected by the administration. And look what
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 2: happens after years of doing that and get Donald Trump
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 2: back in office, and oh look, all the evil billionaires,
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 2: notably the tech evil billionaires, all show up on Trump's door,
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 2: shaking his hand, wishing him luck, and then changing their
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 2: minds because well, a solar panel ain't gonna power my
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 2: artificial intelligence facility, nor will a windmill. I need a
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 2: small nuclear reactor, something that the left hated is a
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 2: concept in spite of the fact that it's carbon neutral,
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 2: and I know I say it all the time, but
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 2: now they want them. Why because it's going to help them.
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 2: We need to expedite the licensing process for SMRs because well,
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 2: we need artificial intelligence. We the evil billionaires of the
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 2: world that used to be hated by the left because
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 2: they tended to be Republicans who used to be pro business. Well,
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 2: whoever's in office, that's who's going to get the favor
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 2: from all the wealthy money class out there. We are
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 2: just sheeple that are well going to follow the path
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 2: of whatever the administration goes down. Thankfully, this current administration
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 2: is an all the above strategy with regard to energy,
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 2: which will be down inflation because it won't be as
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 2: expensive to power fill in the blank. Eight twenty five.
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 2: Right now, let's get judge, added Apolaitano on the phone.
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 2: He's got a great article this night. He's coming out tonight,
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 2: Tucker Carlson and the freedom of speech. We'll get to
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 2: judge the Politano next. I hope you can stick around
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 2: fifty five KRC.
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 4: What's the advanced surgical options for complex liver and pancreatic
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 4: cancers and clinical trials you won't find anywhere else. Got
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 4: a second opinion now called five one three five eighty
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 4: five U sec see southbound seventy five, heaviest in and
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 4: out of lock on the southbound seventy one. There's a
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 4: new accident just after two seventy five. Then brake lights
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 4: off an on passed red Bank in bound seventy four
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 4: backs above Montana. They cleared the wreck he spound two
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 4: seventy five above the Reagan Highway. This is the last
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 4: segment for twenty twenty five, So just wanted to take
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 4: a moment to wish the judge a very merry Christmas
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 4: and happy new Year.
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 2: We wish you the best in twenty five twenty six.
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 2: Chuck Ingram fifty five KRC the Talk station. A kind
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 2: sentiment there from Chuck Ingram to Judge Nita Polton. Of
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 2: course every Wednesday, here at this hour and this time
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 2: of hour we talk with Judge Na Polatan. I love
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 2: having him on the program. Judge and a Polatona, welcome
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 2: back and yes from my listening audience in.
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 9: Meeting Brian, good morning, Joe, Chuck. Thank you very much,
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 9: you know for all of our busting his chops. That
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 9: was a very sincere, moving and lovely comment, and I'm
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 9: deeply grateful, and I can't wait for the day when
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 9: I can actually meet him and see what he looks like.
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 2: I know maybe twenty six will be the year we
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 2: can pull that off. Judge and Polatona, you know, it's
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 2: a welcome ight, it's a welcome idea. You bring it
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 2: up all the time. I, of course, you can't wait
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 2: for the day that happens. And I've talked to Chuck
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 2: Ingram a bunch of times. He always gets really excited
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 2: about the concept. So maybe this will be the year.
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 2: I got to tell you, you know, I always love
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 2: your column comes out tonight Midnight Tucker Carlson and the
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 2: Freedom of Speech. I always love it. You do make
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 2: great points. You always back it with constitutional background, you
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 2: know what the framers intended. This one I was particularly
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 2: taken with because I almost and that this is an overstatement,
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 2: but I almost feel embarrassed that Chuck Schumer is even
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 2: advancing this as a concept because of how batcrap insane
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 2: it is and how much it flies in the face
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 2: of the First Amendment. Let's talk about this. What the
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 2: hell is going on?
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 9: So Senator Schumer, who is the leader of the Democrats
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 9: in the United States Senate, introduced a resolution in behalf
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 9: of himself and forty Democratic senators, which is nearly all
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 9: of them, it's forty seven of them, to condemn Tucker
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 9: Carlson for something he did not say on his show.
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 9: You got that right. He had this character who offends
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 9: a lot of people and says a lot of horrible things,
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 9: but he's, you know, the type of person we put
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 9: on these shows because people want to hear him. Nick
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 9: Flint is who said some things that Schumber and company
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 9: didn't like, And so they've actually offered a resolution which
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 9: will be a sense of the Senate condemning Tucker Carlson
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 9: for failure quote to push back close quote. That's actually
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 9: the phrase from the resolution against this guy, Nick Fuent is. Now,
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 9: this is a sense of the Senate. It doesn't go
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 9: to the House. It's not legislation, it doesn't have the
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 9: force of law, but it's the time of it's the
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 9: type of unconstitutional nonsense, of betrayal of basic First Amendment
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 9: principles that the Congress will occasionally get involved in if
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 9: there's speech out there or silence out there that they
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 9: hate or fear. It's simply reprehensible they're doing it. In fact,
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 9: when my producer said to me, hey, Judge, you won't
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 9: believe what Chuck Schumer, whose office is right across the
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 9: street from where I am now, his New York City office,
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 9: and sometimes I see him in the streets and we chat.
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 9: You won't believe what Chuck Schumer's up to. Next, I
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 9: didn't believe the producer, and I made him get me
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 9: a copy of this, and he gave it to me,
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 9: and I read it, and I was furious, and I
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 9: banged out that column.
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 2: I said, well, first off, let me observe. I guess
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 2: they don't have anything to do before they go on
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 2: Christmas break that they have time to put forward a
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 2: sense of the Senate motion, which has no impact, no force,
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 2: and effective law. It's a pointless gesture and it's a
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 2: bunch of wheel spinning for the purpose of I guess
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 2: grand standing politically. But I feel embarrassed for him for
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 2: doing this for the reasons that you point out in
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 2: the article. This is a chilling effect on speech. It's
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 2: laughable as a concept. But this is not their role.
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 2: Their role is to enforce the Constitution and protect and
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 2: defend it. That Tucker Carlson has a nut job. Maybe
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 2: on the program that's his right. Maybe his ratings will
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 2: drop off because he got the wrong people on. That's
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 2: for us to decide, much like we can evaluate the
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 2: speech that that guy or anybody else's uttering.
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 9: You used a fascinating constitutional phrase and I want to
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 9: dwell on it for.
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 10: Just a moment.
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 9: Chilling Chilling is government behavior which gives speakers pause or
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 9: second thoughts or fear before they articulate what their thoughts are,
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 9: for fear that some something in the government will happen
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 9: to them. It is profoundly unconstitutional for the government to
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 9: behave to engage in behavior that's chilling. The very famous
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 9: case where Jagor Hoover sent to FBI agents within those days,
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 9: cameras where big old fashioned things with flashbulbs if you
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 9: remember those, to put them in the face of war
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 9: protesters and snap pictures. That's chilling, the government literally figuratively
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 9: and literally in your face, giving you pause or second
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 9: thoughts before you express a political opinion, in this case
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 9: on the Vietnam War. Fast forward to today, and chilling
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 9: is a little bit more sophisticated. But just as terrifying.
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 9: I know Tucker Carlson, he's not going to be chilled
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 9: by this at all, But other people lacking his backbone
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 9: and his megaphone might be chilled by a Congress that
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 9: picks and chooses which speech it likes and which speech
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 9: it hates, and can the speech it hates. The First
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 9: Amendment prohibits, absolutely prohibits the government from evaluating the content
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 9: of political speech and acting upon that evaluation.
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 2: Well and seeing to me, there's a lot of that
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 2: going on during the COVID time when we had FBI
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 2: agents establishing offices in social media platforms and telling you
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 2: and I what we can and cannot say and edit
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 2: it and excising certain comments. They can't do that either.
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 9: Correct, correct, So this is just reprehensible. The Democrats are
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 9: doing this, I think, and you just alluded to this, Brian.
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 2: It's all political.
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 9: Schumer wants to see if he can force the Republicans
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 9: to cast a vote which he will then characterize as
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 9: pro Nick Flint, as that's the young man that Tucker
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 9: put on the show, and he can then paint the
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 9: Republicans in the Senate with the excesses and absurdities and
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 9: even horribles that Flintes has articulated. So Tucker runs, as
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 9: you say, a private company. It is the second most
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 9: watched podcast in the United States of America. He can
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 9: put whoever the hell he wants on his show, and
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 9: he can say or not say, whatever the hell he
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 9: wants on his show. The Congress be damned.
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 2: All right, I have to pivot. I want to get
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 2: your thoughts on this because it seems like the stars
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 2: are aligning, but not in a very good way.
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 9: And I hope you're not going to ask me about
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 9: Joe Burrow.
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, I don't want to go that gloom
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 2: and doom. We're trying to have a positive spin on
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 2: the Morning show here, so less gloom and doomy than
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 2: that is. Bombs dropping on Venezuela. So we have the
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 2: the designation of narco terrorism, and that provided a vehicle
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 2: for Donald Trump to drop bombs on boats. We've talked
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 2: about that. Look, narco terrorists, they got drugs, blow them up,
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 2: they're narco terraces. Then you have fentanyl, ventyl has been
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 2: declared a weapon of mass destruction. And then just yesterday
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 2: I believe it was Venezuela has been the regime of
• 2:05:31
  Speaker 2: Venezuela has been designated a foreign terrorist organization, So are
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 2: we going to get the whole that's a foreign terrorist organization.
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 2: They have WMDs so we can drop bombs on them.
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 2: Is that the next phase here, Judge Ennapolto Probably.
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 9: And it's all about oil. It's all about oil. Donald
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 9: Trump's own Drug Enforcement Administration. Go to their website. Venezuela
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 9: is not an exporter of cocaine or fence and all.
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 9: There was a time it was an export of cocaine,
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 9: hasn't done it in years. This is all a oil,
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 9: a facade and quick draw repeat, just wants to kill people.
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 9: He doesn't give the president any resistance whatsoever. Referred to
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 9: my former colleague, and I guess after what I've been
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 9: saying form a friend of Pete Eggs Seth.
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 2: So the oil and we've done any a blocking of
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 2: Venezuelan oil tankers, so it's beyond just the one we captured.
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 2: It's all Venezuelan oil tankers. Arguing that his he illegally
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 2: confiscated the oil companies because they did go full on
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 2: socialism with his election, which means, yeah, Chevron, sorry sucks
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 2: to be you. You invested in the country new regime. They
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 2: took your property from you. This happens all the time
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 2: with regime changes like that, but it's more about regime
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 2: change with Maduro because if you cut off the practically
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 2: the loan source of income he has oil sales, then
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 2: his regime is going to collapse.
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 9: Well, this is going to have an effect that Donald
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 9: Trump may not want because his biggest customer is in Beijing.
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 9: I don't think they're just going to sit back idly
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 9: while these ships are not allowed to go through the
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 9: Panama Canal. I just don't think so. I don't know
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 9: what's going to happen next. Yesterday the United States Senate
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 9: tell me if you think World War III is coming, Brian.
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 9: Yesterday the United States Senate voted an absurd They didn't
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 9: vote on it. They debated an absurd resolution offered by
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 9: Senator Lindsey Graham to declare the Russian government state sponsors
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 9: of terrorism.
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 2: These are the.
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 9: People we're trying to negotiate with. As Senator Ranpaul said,
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 9: we have sixteen thousand literally sanctions on the Russian government,
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 9: the Russian people, Russian society is sixteen thousand and one
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 9: going to make a difference. Why are we doing this?
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 9: What are we going to accomplish by it? At the
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 9: same time, Trump said he may seize some Russian tankers.
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 9: Good luck, their navy is bigger than ours.
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 2: Lots of complicating factors in that one. We now brought
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 2: the Russians and the Chinese into the situation off the
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 2: coast of Venezuela. Well, at least it's better than talking
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 2: about Joe Burrow from a happy sad standpoint. Judge Innapolitano,
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 2: I think he's got one foot out the door. Parenthetically,
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 2: Judging Freedom is Judge of Polatana's podcast. I'll encourage my
• 2:08:24
