  Speaker 1: And that's the way.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: News goes like it or not that's what you get

• 0:42
  Speaker 3: the rundown i'm looking forward to uh 705 first guest
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: of the morning this has been typically the case last
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: several weeks anyway dr jay risk over with the empower
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: you rundown for the week including breitbart editor-in-chief alex marlow
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: it's going to be taking a look at media social
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: media influence on the state of affairs as we head
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: into the midterm elections, can we believe what we see online?
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: He asked rhetorically, what we read online, what we're told
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: by news outlets, podcasters, social media users, influencers. How much
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: is the narrative shaped by truth and how much is
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: shaped by nefarious forces? Nefarious forces hard at work in Europe,
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: notably France, which protests are spreading, getting bigger. And it is,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: it's a coalition like the Green-Red Coalition. You got all
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: these Marxists joining with all the immigrants from the Muslim
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: world who really are ultimately trying to create a caliphate.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: I think you can boil it down to its reality.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Seeking to overthrow the current form of government, and then
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: the red and green coalitions will fight amongst themselves to
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: see who prevails. Will it be the Muslim fundamentalists, those
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: who would like a theocracy in place in Europe? Or
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: will it be the Marxists who reject religion? Right now,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: they're cozying up quite nicely because everyone involved in the protests,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: including whatever three or four students are angry about school funding,
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: are all interested in attacking the current government and seeking
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: to change the dynamic of Western European's future. If I
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: can be so minimalist in my description on that, it
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: seems a lot worse than that. But anyway, that's, you know,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: You understand they'll start eating themselves to the extent they win.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: And I guess that's within the realm of possibility. Looks
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: like the police are incapable of dealing with the riots
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: and the burning of the buildings. And can I ask
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: how loud, as I've asked many times over the years,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: what in the hell good is it and how does
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: it advance an agenda to break into, well, retail stores,
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: for example?
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: I mean.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: They do have a taxation system which funds the government
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: and all the government programs, which, of course, the Marxist
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: leftists all seek to expand. Cradle to grave government services,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: you know, whatever the government hands you is what you're
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: going to get, but that requires effort and labor on
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: the part of individuals to fund the system. So, anyway,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: it doesn't seem to be in their best interest to
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: go burning things to the ground and breaking things. Anyhow,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: we will hear about the... Well, that was... Well, that
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: sprung from my conversation about Jay Russo over in the
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Empower U because Alex Marlow will join the program at 8.05.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: The Inside Scoop with the Breitbart News will feature him today.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: We'll be talking about the breakdown of that Empower U seminar,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: a little advanced information. Daniel Davis, deep dive with the
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: latest on Iran. He'll be on at 8.30, retired lieutenant colonel,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: every Tuesday at 8.30 here on the 55KRC Morning Show.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: And let's not overlook 7.30 with Tom Zalastowski, wethepeopleconvention.org. Again,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: the message, get out and vote, plus Jack Smith's enemy list.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: You're on it more than likely. 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK, pound 550
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: on AT & T phones. And you've got to remember 55KRC. iheart. com.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Good conversation with Eric Conroy. Far better choice than Greg Lansman.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: He was on yesterday. Get over to his website, ericconroy.com.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Money Monday with Brian James and, of course, Smithervad, episode 157.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: And we heard about the Wish Tree program. Bob Wetterer
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: launching that again. 42nd year, last year, you.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Thanks to you and the businesses who embraced the wish
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: tree concept and brought a tree into their business, hung
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: with the ornaments from those out there on life's margins,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: young people, kids in need. They would love to have
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: a coat or some socks, things that you and I
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: may very well take for granted. 50,000 items last year
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: were donated as a consequence of Bob's efforts and everybody
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: else who participated. and those young people had a far
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: better holiday than they would have without the Wish Tree program.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: So you can still get involved. There's a link right
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: there on my blog page, 55KRC. iHeart. com. So I guess they
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: got the message in Europe that open borders are going
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: to ruin things. And I'm a little concerned about this.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: I was thinking about it in the context of the
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: United States of America. Now, you don't enjoy the freedoms
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: and liberties in any European country that you have here.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: We have the right to free exercise of religion, number
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: one in the First Amendment. religious exercise. It's your freedom
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: to worship whatever you want. Free speech also there. You
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: know that First Amendment, free speech, free press, plus freedom
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: of assembly. But what happens, and this is not a
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: criticism of the Muslim faith, it is a criticism of
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: wings within it who are radical and seek to overthrow,
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: for example, our government and other governments to create the
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: caliphate or the theocracy that they embrace. Listen, we all
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: have our ideas about the future, and Some more radical
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: than others. But this is all cloaked under the heading
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: of religious belief, is it not? Now, if we conclude
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: that a certain wing of any religion, you can call
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: it whatever religion you want, There's an umbrella, like Christians.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: There is a Christian umbrella, the belief in Jesus Christ,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: and then there are all the different subsets of Christianity
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: beneath that umbrella. I've heard 130 different flavors of Christianity.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know if that number is right, but look
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: around you. You know, Catholics, Protestants, Methodists, snake handlers. We
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: could just go down a long, long list. Now, if
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: any one of those groups, and I see I'm staying
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: away from Muslims because I want people to appreciate in
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: the context of their own religion. If any one of
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: those subsets decided they were going to go complete rogue radicals,
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: and they use Christianity as a mechanism to destroy the government.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: At what point do your constitutional rights have to give
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: way to the reality that your religion, the subset of it,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: is engaged in subversive activity, which can be criminal? You see,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: the Constitution does protect freedom of speech, freedom of assembly,
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: and the free exercise of religion, but every constitutional amendment,
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: every constitution, liberty that we believe we receive from a
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: higher power inalienable right can be subject to and can
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: be curtailed by the law. It must pass the strict
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: scrutiny test. The state must have a compelling interest and
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: the mechanism by which it curtails any of our freedoms
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: must be the least intrusive that you can create by
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: way of law. Now, if it survives that test, it
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: is constitutional. The erosion of the constitutional freedoms can be constitutional. Again,
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: compelling state interest, narrowly tailored to achieve that compelling state interest,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: no broader than that. Now, if you subject this to the... Well,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: if you subject the realities of what's going on, say,
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: in France, or in my hypothetical with the radical want
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: to throw over the government form of Christianity that exists
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: beneath the umbrella, then you might have a good argument.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: You'd have to craft a law that would.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Regardless of what religion, if you're seeking to overthrow the government,
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: then we are going to criminalize that conduct, that behavior.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Maybe open a RICO case. Conspiracy to overthrow the government.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Two or more actors working in concert to break the law.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: You can do that. The entire organization might be subjected
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: to a RICO claim. I don't know. I'm just working
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: through this in my mind this morning. Because what's going
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: on in Europe is kind of troubling. In the sense
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: that what is being called for sounds really appealing... Until
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: you think, hmm, wait a second. There but for the
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: grace of God go I? Specifically. Now, again, folks, waking up.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: You got Eric Ciotti, the mayor of Nice, its fifth
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: largest city in France. Unrest in the country, obviously being
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: a problem, should be treated by prosecutors as terrorism, he argues.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Warning that Islamo-leftism, see, there's your subset under the broader
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: category of Islam. seeking to overthrow the Republic. Quote, the
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor's Office needs to step in and track
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: down these far-left groups, these coordinated, organized structures that seek
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: to attack the institutions of the Republic. See, they're attacking
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: the institution of the Republic, not seeking to spread religious
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: or speaking about the religion. They're going after the government.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: It's unclear that institutions were targeted, or rather, it's clear
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: that institutions were targeted, not in just other cities, but
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: here in our own city as well, Nisi's referring to.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: They attempted to attack the town hall, for instance. They
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: also targeted police stations.
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Criminal activity. I don't know what message you're trying to advance.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's a little subtle. Maybe they aren't specifically advocating anything.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Amid the gazillion flags being flown, are they fighting for
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Palestinian liberation? Are they fighting for communism? Lord knows it's
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: a mixed bag of folks going back to that red-green
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: coalition that's formed there. Leader of the Union of the
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Right for the Republic says France is facing a hybrid phenomenon.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: The far left coordinating and fueling riots from a mix
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: of Islamists and drug traffickers, narco-Islamists and lower-level armed robbers.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: A coalition of angry folks joining together. in the name
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: of burning whatever down. I don't think if you collectively
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: asked them, you polled the room, any of them would
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: know exactly what they are asking for. Individual groups might
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: have an idea, but joined together, it's this milkshake, shaken-up
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: version of people who are just willing to go to
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: the streets and burn stuff. We are facing a red fascism,
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: a French intifada, a form of insurrection where Islamist, Antifa members, rioters,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: and looters remotely controlled by the far left with terrorist
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: aims converge. That analyst said, referring to the Palestinian terror
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: campaigns in Israel, adding that there are a lot more
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Palestinian flags than French flags at the demonstration. Isn't that interesting? Cotty,
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: the niece mayor, specifically pointed to Antifa and the ultra-left affiliates.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: We must pursue these groups to the very end, and
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: any associations that support them should be dissolved. The UDR
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: mayor said the rioters who attacked the police should all
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: face jury trials, that the government should build emergency prison
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: spaces to incarcerate all those individuals involved in the riots,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: and for social benefits and state housing to be withdrawn
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: from the families of those involved. Saudi also called for
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: the next scheduled demonstration on November 5th to be banned
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: by the government, arguing that after the looting, the attacks
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: on our police officers, and the damage to our institutions,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: we cannot take the risk of further violence. The republic
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: must enforce its authority. And see right there, that's when
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: I pause for a second. The demonstration coming up must
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: be banned by the government. Well, that interferes here, if
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: it were to be argued, with our right to free exercise. Well,
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, with the right to freedom of assembly. Can
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: you ban a meeting of people in advance based upon
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: what you think might happen? And then I thought about
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: January 6th. And it seems to me upon, with hindsight,
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: the big brouhaha and ordeal the left was making about
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: the January 6th, what I always like to refer to
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: as a drunken fraternity party got out of hand. as
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: something akin to what's going on in France, except it
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: was coming from the right-wing side of the ledger. The
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: evil MAGA forces, Orange Man's minions, that's who January 6th
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: was all about, and Lord Almighty, didn't they pull their
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: hair out and say the entire republic was in jeopardy?
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: And they sought to lock every single man, woman, and
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: child who was even close to the Capitol building that day.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: They investigated each and every one of you. They looked
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: at your records, your credit card transactions. Does this not
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: concern people so It depends on whose ox is being
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: gored now, doesn't it? Because, you know, you walk in
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: and you think, yeah, these folks are wanting to overthrow
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: the government. They are insurrectionists. They are violating the law.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: There's got to be something we can do to stop it.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: When you view it from the conservative side of the ledger,
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: the traditional side of the ledger, the people who are
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: trying to protect the culture of their country, which has
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: been eroded by a wave of illegal immigration going on
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: over the last decade or so, would you feel the
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: same way If you flip the narrative, and there's where
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: we run into trouble. See if you can address that. 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: It's 518. Be right back. This is 55KRC and iHeart.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Happy Tuesday. Over to the phones. 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK. Pound 550
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: on AT & T phones. Oh, my God. Welcome back.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: It has been too long, too sweet. Good to hear
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: from you this morning. Happy Tuesday to you.
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: Hey, good morning, Brian. I'm always out there. You sparked
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: my call this morning about this division.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: Let me give you a verse in the Quran. This
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: is chapter 6, verse 159. It says, O Muhammad, those
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: who divide themselves in their sets do not belong with you.
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: So this division that you see is not blessed by
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: the Quran. It frowns against it. It frowns against the
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: hypocrite Muslims. We have a chapter 63 called the hypocrites.
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: By the way, do you know the word Sharia law
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: does not appear in the Quran?
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: I'm not even a biblical theologian, too sweet, so no,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: I am no authority on the Quran.
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: Sunni, Sufa, Shia, those terms that you hear are not
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: in the Quran. There are sources outside of the Quran.
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: That's why you have all this madness. And I've been
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: practicing Islam since 1988. So a lot of the stuff
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: that you see in the media is off-base.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Off base from a religious perspective.
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: From the Muslim perspective.
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: From the Koran teachings. Okay.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Here we go. Since I'm not familiar with the words
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: of the Koran, I'll trust you all day long, too, sweet.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: I know you're going to steer me in the wrong direction.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: So with all of the Sharia and Sunni and these divisions,
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: which you say fly in the face of the word itself,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: how is it that they came about and these various
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: wings weren't held accountable or the leaders who created them?
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: these separate sub-ideologies? How is it that they weren't called
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: to the carpet and ostracized and told that, no, you
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: aren't practicing the Muslim faith?
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: Well, a lot of us do, but hey, they've been
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: doing what they've been doing since the beginning of time.
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: I mean, you just have folks who just want to
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: come up with their own version. Brian, 7750 says, what
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: hadith other than this do you believe in? So there
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: have been sources out there forever. They just don't want
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: to practice true Islam. So you come up with all
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: this craziness. Well, I mean, just like in Christianity, just
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: like you mentioned earlier, there's division within all these people.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: I know, absolutely. A new guy comes along with a
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: different interpretation of the same words. I mean, if you
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: read the words and your brain says, okay, that means this,
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: there's always somebody down the road that's going to say, no, no, no,
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: you're misinterpreting that.
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: And I'm sure people like Jim Jones, David Koresh, they
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: believe they're Christian.
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: Exactly.
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: But actually, they don't represent Christianity. But they say they're Christian.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: They represent Christianity as they perceive it.
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: Right, but I'm sure that the teachers don't support that.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Clearly, they're reading it differently. I think this is where
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: the breakdown always comes in. Well, they're making it up.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: They're making it up.
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: Like Sony, Shifu, Sia. That's made up stuff.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: You know what, though?
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: What happens is you take what the word says and
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: then the subcategory, which says, no, no, the word doesn't
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: say that. I believe it says this. There's a whole
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: bunch of other people. that that sub-message is more appealing
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: than the broader message, what the word specifically states. That's
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: how you end up with a whole bunch of followers
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: who may be defying Muslim law or even Christian law
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: by breaking off. I like that version better. That appeals
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: to what I think, regardless of what the word says,
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: but that's why I'm joining up in your subgroup.
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: Well, the cry in 68, Brian, is chapter 68, verse
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: 36 to 38, said, do you have another book that
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: gives you everything you want? And that's what it does.
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: It supports some of that madness that you see out
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: on the planet. We're supposed to be Muslim.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: It would be nice if the clearer-thinking folks, like yourself,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: appear to be too sweet, would, well, remind the rest
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: of them that they're on the wrong path and they're
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: not even preaching or pursuing Muslim faith.
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: Well, they're easily misled because they don't study the book.
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: That's the biggest problem. Well, again— The first Surah Revealed
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: says read. Surah 96 says read, study. They don't do it.
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: So it's easy for an imam to mislead them.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Uh-huh.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: And throw in the mix the Internet and all the
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: lies swirling around. You can confuse a lot of people, too, Sweet.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: This problem that you are addressing is not confined to
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: religious ideology. Yeah, read.
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: Yep, you've got to study. Otherwise, you're going to get
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: misled every damn time.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: Man, where have you been, man? I remember you used to.
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: Call my dad. I'm always out there listening, good buddy.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Always.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: All right, I'm comforted by that, too, sweet. Agree with me,
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: disagree with me, but it's good to hear the sound
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: of your voice because you immediately brought to mind my
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: father because I know you used to call him up
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: as well. Yes, sir.
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: All right. And, Brian, we got to hold the house.
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: We can't let these kooks get in there.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Lord have mercy.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Lord have mercy. Speaking of... Amy Acton? Ah, don't even.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, too sweet.
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, bro.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: Preaching my language, man.
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: Oh, my God.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: Preaching my language. God bless you, sir.
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: Take care, Brian.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: You, too. Oh, that's hilarious. Maybe what he says is right. Jeff,
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: I see you're on the line. I'm out of time.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: I will promise to take your calls. A guy was
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: found shot, according to the Boone County Dispatchers. That guy
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: at University Medical Center with a gunshot wound to the hip.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: The Sheriff's Office and fire crews responded 3 a.m. Final
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: exit in northern Kentucky before the crossing of the Ohio
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: River into Indiana. No idea, as of the reporting from
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Fox 19, how long it's going to be closed. So
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: whether or not it's still closed, I thought I'd say
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: it out loud. Before I took Jeff's call. Jeff, thanks
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: for holding my friend. Welcome to the morning show.
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: Good morning, Brian.
• 19:00
  Speaker 8: Happy Tuesday.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: Back at you.
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: Hey, can't wait to vote for Dr.
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: Amy.
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: My wife and I, we miss six-foot social distancing.
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: And face diaper masks to buy a loaf of bread
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: at the crock.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: I miss it, too, so much. A tongue-in-cheek reminder. To
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: vote for Vivek Ramaswamy.
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: Hey, God bless him.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: God bless him. God bless him.
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: And Houston.
• 19:29
  Speaker 9: And Houston.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: Take care of yourself, John. Appreciate the reminder. Yeah, Amy
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: locked down acting. Don't forget. And then she quit her job.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: And she won't debate, so she's a coward. Go ahead
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: and check her policies out. 28-year-old man shot and killed
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: yesterday morning in South Fairmont, according to the Cincinnati Police Department.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: 2500 block of Seeger Avenue is where officers were dispatched
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: shortly after 10 a.m. for a report of a dead
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: person found in a vehicle. Officers got there. They found
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: Comontez Geralds, 28 years old, suffering from a gunshot wound.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: First responders pronounced him dead at the scene. Police didn't
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: say if they have any suspects in the shooting or
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: what led up to it. Homicide unit is investigating. If
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: you have any information, please call them. 352-3542.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: 513-352-3542.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Okay, we have a stack of stupid stories for a
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: local boy here. Westchester is where we go where a
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: tri-state man is now facing new felony charges after police
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: say he exposed himself near a child and three women
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: inside a Westchester bookstore. 59-year-old Gerald Fornshel. Four felony counts
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: is what he's facing for public indecency. He was indicted Monday.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: The judge said he's bonded $ 100, 000. Latest incident, September 12th
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: in Westchester. Court records say Fornchelle was pleasuring himself near
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: a juvenile boy and three women inside the Barnes &
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Noble on Civic Center Boulevard. This is at least the
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: seventh time he's been arrested for publicly exposing himself. Joe,
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: I think he needs a penalty box. He was arrested
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: for exposing himself to someone inside a Springfield Pets Mart
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: back in 23. Back in 2015, exposed himself to two
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: teenage girls at Springdale Big Lots. 2010, sentenced to two
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: years in prison for pleasuring himself while driving next to
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: a woman. In this case, child and three women witnessed
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: the lewd act, prompting the four felony charges. He could
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: face 12 months in prison on each charge. If convicted,
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: he'd be required to register as a sex offender. Arraignment.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: October 27th, if you're not doing anything and want to
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: show up.
• 21:35
  Speaker 10: Here he is, the biggest douche of the universe. In
• 21:40
  Speaker 10: all the galaxies, there's no bigger douche than you. You've
• 21:46
  Speaker 10: reached the top, the pinnacle of douchedom.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: Good going, douche.
• 21:52
  Speaker 10: Your dreams have come true.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: Yes, indeed. Investigation underway at crane operator, the Brent Spence
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: Bridge Corridor product, now dead. Happened over the weekend, according
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: to Cincinnati police. They were called 1030 in the morning
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: on the 17th to West 3rd Street, Pete Roseway, for
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: a workplace accident, which is how it's described in the report.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: Man was operating a boom lift crane when the crane
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: shifted and fell. Man, not yet identified by police, was
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: injured and taken to UC Medical Center where he died,
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: according to police. Criminal investigation in the Occupational Safety and
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: Health Administration, aka OSHA, are investigating. ODOT said the man
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: was a Walsh Cocusing crew member. The Walsh Cocusing joint
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: venture is the main contractor for the entire project. Walsh Group,
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: an Indianapolis-based infrastructure builder, Cocusing handles transportation and site work projects.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: That's a shame. It really is. 535, 55KRC, the talk station. Oh,
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: and parenthetically, City Council has $ 23 million left over from
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: last year's budget, and they're itching to spend it. Hey, Joe,
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: they have a surplus of cash.
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: Huh.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: You have a surplus of pain? I'm talking about QC Kinetics. Pain, joint,
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: 55-karat CD talk station. Happy Tuesday, 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK, pound 550
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: on any TNT phone. We'll take a phone call before
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: I get to the challenging smoking gun article that Joe
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: left me for The Stack is Stupid. Quite often, Joe
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: will do this. Joe prepares The Stack is Stupid, and
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: every once in a while, he'll put an article in
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: there that is almost impossible to to comply with FCC
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: rules when you read the description of what actually happened
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: in the events. But before we get to that, let's
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: see what Mississippi James has got this morning. James, welcome
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: back to the morning show. Happy Tuesday.
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: Hey, good morning, Dr. Brian. Now, just a question for you.
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: When did you liken January the 6th to just a
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: drunken frat?
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: Well, that reflects, and I would never expect any human
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: being ever to listen to my show all the time,
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: four hours a day, every day I do it. But
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: I've said that like 9,000 times over the years, James.
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: I'm saying when did you first decide that? When it happened?
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: Later on? Oh, yeah, right around the time it happened.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: When everybody was pulling their hair out over saying this
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: was some sort of violent overthrow of the government. And
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: that's not what I was seeing. But then as the
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: details unfolded and the more I looked at it, Yeah,
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: there were some violent people in there. They got arrested
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: and prosecuted as well they should. But a lot of
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: people were just sort of invited in, wandering around. Look,
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: the gates are down. People are flowing in unabated. There's
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: no law enforcement stopping them. You know, it's just like
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: people get out of control. Things happen when people start
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: doing stuff like that in a quote-unquote drunken fraternity party.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: Things can go awry. That's the only reason I drew
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: that parallel, James.
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: Okay, and then you had the late, great, well, I
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: don't know about great, that came out, Lindsey Graham and
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: Mitch McConnell. I mean, they didn't look at it that way,
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: and they got inside information.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: Well, a lot of people didn't look at it my
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: way that have inside information, and a lot of people
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: that look at it my way had inside information. I
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: guess opinions vary depending upon what you're looking at, James,
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: and what your political motivations might be in reaching whatever
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: opinion you reach. I agree with that 100%.
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: And that's part of the whole world, whether it's political, religion,
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: you know, what's the intent behind it?
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: Exactly. All right, brother, have a good day. You do
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: the same, man. Well, obviously they didn't show up with
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: matching signs, matching vests, tents in hand, you know, well-funded,
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: well-organized protests. Some of them are. Some of them seem
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: spontaneous until you say, wait a second, how did all
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: these people magically show up at one moment in time
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: in in coordinated outfits with the same sign. That must
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: have been known in advance. That is not something that
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: happened on January 6th. People just went over there and
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: just started running amok. It was more spontaneous than most
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: of the quote-unquote spontaneous protests we see out in the world. Anyway,
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: that's my take on it. Everybody's entitled to their own opinion.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: That's why we talk about these things. All right, here
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: we go. I'm going to try. Do we have a
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: trigger warning on this one, Joe? No? Okay. Well, I
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: think I just gave one anyway.
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: Florida.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: Naturally. That's his tradition. Florida man behind bars. Specifically, this
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: is tough, Christopher Snow. He was at the pet aisle
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: of a Walmart super center in St. Petersburg when he
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: approached a 31-year-old, described, of course, as the victim, about
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: 10 o'clock in the morning this past Friday. According to police,
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: Christopher Snow was recorded by security cameras, of course he was,
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: approaching the victim from behind, and here's where I substitute language,
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: depositing a bodily fluid on her back. How's that, Joe?
• 26:56
  Speaker 8: What?
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: Walmart footage shows exactly the aftermath of this revealed on
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: the back of her clothing as well as on the ground.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: Victim initially unaware of the attack, but after another individual
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: pointed out what had happened, she felt sick stickiness on
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: her back. That's in the report. Once completing the vial act,
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: Snow used two dog toys to clean up the mess
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: he left, specifically grabbing from the shelf medium-sized lamb chop
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: dog chews. Walmart workers attempted to stop him from exiting
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: the retailer, but he refused and continued to walk out
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: of the store. Snow, later arrested, charged with battery theft,
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: exposure to sexual organs, and during questioning reportedly confessed and
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: said he was, in his words, sorry and that the
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: female was fine. That's his words, not mine. Anyway, jailed
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: in lieu of a $ 16, 000 bond. Oh, he has a
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: rap sheet shocking no one, dozens of arrests, convictions for theft, trespassing,
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: indecent exposure, cocaine possession, disorderly intoxication, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: This is the world we live in, huh? 545-55-KRC-D Talk Station.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: That was the worst in the stack, though. The rest
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: of them, well, just.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Talk Station.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: 550-55-KRC-D Talk Station.
• 28:18
  Speaker 8: 513-749-5500. 800-823-TALK.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: 550 on AT & T phones. Go to the phone.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: See what Bobby's got this morning. We'll get back to
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: the stack of stupid. Bobby, happy Tuesday.
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: Happy Tuesday to you, my friend. Faith Flag family. And
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: get out the red and green flags.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, really.
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: They're coming.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they are. They're already in France. And, of course,
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: the coalition of the loonies here in the United States,
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: not really much different, just not as violent. And, of course, thankfully,
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: we have a Second Amendment. You didn't mention firearms in
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: your alliterative announcement there, Bobby, so I'll throw that in there.
• 28:53
  Speaker 7: That's a given, my friend. You better be careful and
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: better be well-heeled. We're in the midst of a cultural revolution.
• 28:59
  Speaker 7: People need to understand that because they are coming. They
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: will be here.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Korean shop owners in the L.A. riots realized that. I
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: guess they didn't, eh?
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: They don't play.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: Apparently not.
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: They were up on top of the roofs making sure
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: people weren't coming toward their property.
• 29:16
  Speaker 8: That's it.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: There you go. What else on your mind, Bobby?
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: That's it, my friend. I just want people to be
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: prepared of what's going on and what's coming. And it
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: is coming.
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: It is.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: No question about it. As I look at the spot
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: list for my live commercials this morning, I don't see
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: 22-3 on there. But for whatever reason, Bobby, that just
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: popped in my mind. Bobby, have a great day, my friend.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: I appreciate you chiming in and you're listening to the program.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: Back over to the Stack is Stupid. Let's go to North. Dakota,
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: Edmonds County, specifically where a landlord is now behind bars
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: after authorities say he broke into a home, exposed himself,
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: and chased three young girls with his car while drunk.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: Why are you doing that? Let's see if we can
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: find out. Let's see. Deputy sent Tuesday to a disturbance
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: at A Linton home this last Tuesday. Investigators say three
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: girls arrived from home from school to find their landlord,
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: described as a 70-year-old named Aaron Wagner, inside their house.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: They told him to leave. Deputies say Wagner then chased
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: them outside, jumped into his car, hopped a curb, and
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: pursued them through the yard and alley. Wagner then also
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: exposed himself while shouting obscenities at the children before the
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: cops showed up. Wagner taken to custody on charges including
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: reckless endangerment, indecent exposure, driving under the influence, and driving
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: under suspension. The answer, Joe, is we will never find out.
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: The aristocrat.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Nashville, Tennessee, four-month-old baby left in a car over the
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: weekend while dad went out to a popular bar in
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: downtown Nashville. Jordan Haley, 25, accused of leaving his infant
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: in the front seat of a running car. Well, he
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: went out to Jason Aldean's Kitchen and Rooftop Bar. Police
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: alerted the case on Sunday. Officers spotted him arguing with
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: a woman outside the bar. According to police, in the affidavit,
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: the female party was screaming at the defendant, and he
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: was also exchanging words with her. Both were in each
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: other's faces. Officers broke up that dispute, and speaking with
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: the woman, she told police she was upset because Haley
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: was supposed to be caring for the four-month-old girl. She
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: didn't know where the child was. Affidavit says, in short,
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: she was worried about her child's welfare. Hallie told the
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: police that the baby should be with her maternal grandmother,
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: but the woman, quote, denied that being possible. Close quote.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: Don't know what that means. Police detained him, took the
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: car keys, found his vehicle parked and running near the
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: Honky Tonk bars on Broadway, an area known to be
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: heavily trafficked with disorderly and intoxicated individuals. That quote from
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: the report. Front seat, that's where the four-month-old was found alone.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: She was in a baby seat facing the wrong direction
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: on top of things. 25-year-old man arrested. Infant was reunited
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: with her mother. He's been charged with leaving the unattended
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: child in a motor vehicle and neglect. Bond, $ 5, 000 to
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: the neglect case, $ 1, 500 for leaving her in the car.
• 32:05
  Speaker 7: Just walk away.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: There is that, and we can also, I think, maybe
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: add him to the biggest douchey, the Universal Awards. West
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: Virginia middle school principal arrested on charges including public intoxication
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: and child neglect. As is tradition. According to the Logan
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: Police Department, Michael O'Brien Kidd, who's 41, has been charged
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: with public intoxication and the child neglect creating risk. Officers
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: said he was arrested at the school after police met
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: with a member of the Logan County Board of Education.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: A statement from the school's confirmed kid is the employee
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: that they said was removed from duties due to the
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: criminal charges. District said it became aware of the allegations
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: involving the conduct of a school employee while on duty.
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: When they got information concerning the matter, the officials responded
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: promptly and took immediate action. Employee has been removed pending
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: further review. Public intoxication, child neglect. Who's teaching your children? 55,
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: 55 KRCD Talk Station. You know, I'm going back to
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: that first stack of stupid story. Thank God we have
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: video cameras. I'm sure that kind of thing happened in
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: the old days. People just might not have been aware
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: of it. 606 here at 55 KRCD Talk Station. My
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: name is Brian Thomas, wishing everyone a very, very happy Tuesday.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: Try to make it so. Got a good rundown here
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: this morning. 55KRCD Talk Station. Thanks to Joe Strucker, executive producer,
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: who will also produce your podcast. Yeah, if you want
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: to do a podcast, just get in touch with Joe. Now,
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: of course, Joe doesn't work for free, but he does
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: find a nice way to supplement his income while doing
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: a fantastic job doing podcasts. These things require editing and
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: a pretty decent amount of work, so he is the
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: best in the business. Ask anybody he does podcasts for,
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: and the list is long. Dr. Jay Riss, over one
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: hour from now, with the Empower You seminars for the week, including... tonight,
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: October 20th, with Economics Polls and Trolls. It's Economics Polls
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: and Trolls with Alex Marlow from Breitbart, who happens to
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: be the editor-in-chief at Breitbart. And he will join the
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: program at 8.05 since he is our Inside Scoop Breitbart
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: news guest this morning. And he'll be talking about that,
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: breaking it down. See, after Dr. J, we get Tom Zawistowski,
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: We the People convention at 7.30. We'll talk about the
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: need to get out and vote. Still beating that drum,
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: of course. Plus, Jack Smith enemies list. You're on it. Probably.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: So following the 805 with the inside scoop, Breitbart News,
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: the Daniel Davis deep dive with the latest on Iran
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: and Ask the Expert today with odor exit. My friends
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: are getting rid of your odors.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: Pound 550 on AT & T phones. Everybody knows I'm
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: no believer in the you are exhaling yourself into planetary oblivion.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Climate change, formerly global warming, formerly global freezing, the next
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: ice age is coming, can't get their hands around reality.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: Science has not settled on it, various studies. And then,
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: of course, over time, we find out that, no, the
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: dire predictions never did come true. We should be underwater
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: and burning hot by now by all the previous predictions
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: that got y'all ginned up and willing to go down
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: the road of, well, throwing literally trillions of dollars at
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: trying to get carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. Carbon offsets,
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: the idea of the exchange of money. The carbon dioxide
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: isn't removed, but you pay money. And if the global
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: warming folks or climate change folks were right, then that
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: payment of money wouldn't do anything to solve the problem,
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: and they wouldn't allow it. But cut throats they did,
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: their own throats in the name of this, and the
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: chickens are coming home to roost, and every week I
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: get a feeling of schadenfreude when I see one more,
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: including like the European Union going, whoops. I guess we
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: shouldn't have shut down the nuclear plans. I guess we should. Yeah,
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: I know. Editorial board of the Wall Street Journal. Yes,
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: standing on the shoulders of giants. I do every once
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: in a while, but this is where I got the information.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: And they usually do a really good job summarizing it.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: Northeast climate revolt. Anti-fossil fuel policies that raise utility bills
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: have Democrats in the region playing defense this election year.
• 36:22
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: Going back to the point about making over and over
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: and over again be pissed off all day long over
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: the price of gasoline, price of diesel, thanks to the
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: war in the Middle East. You can blame Donald Trump
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: if you want. Fine. Don't care. And yes, there is
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: a reason for the price increase because of that war
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: and the unfolding disaster it has become. Yet, this is
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: exactly what the Democrats wanted. Not the war, of course.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: They wanted the price to go up. They wanted you
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: to quit driving cars. They wanted you on an electric vehicle.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: You know all the arguments that were made. We've been
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: living with this for such a long time. The price
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: of gasoline will necessarily increase. I say that all the
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: time because Barack Obama said it. He told you in advance.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: They wanted it to go up to force you to
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: choose something you otherwise wouldn't have chosen. You can't get
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: your own way by free market choice. Then you put
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: a law in place to force people to go in
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: a different direction. This is one of the reasons I
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: hate the tax code so much. Manipulating people's behavior based
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: upon money, which obviously works really well. Anyway, pivoting over.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: They write, voters are revolting against high energy prices across
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: the country and Republicans are taking most of the blame
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: as the party in power in Washington. But an underreported
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: story is the Democrats are on defense in the Northeast
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: where utility bills have spiked because of green energy mandates
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: and progressive hostility to fossil fuels. It's about time. Electricity
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: and heating bills have shot up more in the Northeast
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: than anywhere. Over the last six years, residential electric rates
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: have climbed by about 20% to 30% in most states. Yet,
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: in Maine, 92% increase, 59% in New York, 45% in
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: Rhode Island, and a 43% increase in Massachusetts. Some households
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: paying hundreds of dollars more in a month than they
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: did just a few years ago. Heating bills are also
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: expected to surge this winter because of the Northeast's reliance
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: on heating oil. Energy Information Administration recently estimated that winter
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: energy bills will increase 21% this year for households using
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: heating oil. Half the houses, roughly, in Maine rely on
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: heating oil, as do a quarter in Rhode Island, 20%
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: in Massachusetts, 15% in New York. That's because Democrats across
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: the region have worked to block projects that would increase
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: the use of natural gas. The result? More households. are
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: at the mercy of global oil markets. Now, Democrats blame
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: rising energy prices on the Iran war, but residents would
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: enjoy much lower utility bills if not for Democratic opposition
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: to natural gas. Northeasterners who heat with gas will pay
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: $ 1, 236 less on average this winter than those who use oil,
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: according to the EIA. This explains Massachusetts Governor Maura Haley's
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: recent energy reversal. As state attorney general in 2022, she
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: boasted of blocking two natural gas pipelines. In 2024, she
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: declared that, quote, getting to net zero by 2050 is
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: not just our legislative mandate in Massachusetts. It's a social
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: and economic imperative that informs everything we do. Get that
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: pesky plant food out of the air. So much for that.
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: This month, she insisted that the Trump administration accelerate permitting
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: for a gas pipeline expansion. also announced plans to waive
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: $ 100 million in electric bill charges that go to fund
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: green energy programs, at least for this winter. It's like
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: suspending the gas tax for a moment in time. They're
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: still on this trajectory, but you know what? This year,
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: pain can't be ignored. We're going to free you from
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: the burdens of money that you have to pay to
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: cut our own throats, folks. My interpretation. Apologies to the
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: Journal for interjections.
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: Ms.
• 40:11
  Speaker 7: Healy?
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: Is Nusane Mara on the road to Dover? She's responding
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: to her GOP opponent, Mike Minogue, who has focused on
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: how climate policies have driven up energy costs, with state-mandated
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: charges accounting for one-third of utility bills. He has promised
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: to eliminate this quote-unquote mandatory climate tax and build natural
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: gas pipelines to reduce energy prices. Most polls show him,
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: an Army veteran, Minogue, an Army veteran and former CEO
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: of a medical device company, a Biomed, trailing, sadly, by
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: double digits. But Ms. Healy's energy faint suggests she's worried.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: Maybe she's noticed how high energy costs have become a
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: liability for Democrats next door in Rhode Island. To that,
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: Republican has not won statewide office in Rhode Island since 2006,
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: but a recent Emerson College local news poll there shows
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: Democrat Helena Fulks with 44% of the support, in a
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: fight with independent Ken Block, 35%. And the split-ticket Republican
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: Aaron Guckian got 10%. The GOP nominee for lieutenant governor,
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: John Laughlin, leads Democrat incumbent Sabina Matos by a point,
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: Rhode Island. Mr. Block, the independent, has gained traction by
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: attacking Democrats for raising taxes and energy costs. He has
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: called for postponing the state's 100% renewable electric mandate and
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: slashing taxes and fees on utility bills. Recent report found
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: utility disconnections in his state have doubled, with more customers
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: falling behind on their skyrocketing bills. Meantime, Governor Kathy Hochul
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: has tried to head off backlash over New York's soaring
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: electric bills by delaying her state's CO2 emissions mandates. She's
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: also approved a permit for a new pipeline to bring
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: in more gas from Pennsylvania to New York. Her predecessor,
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: Andrew Cuomo, rejected that permit. Last month, she announced $ 200
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: quote-unquote energy rebates for joint tax filers making up to
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: $ 150, 000 a year. That's cold comfort. Electric bills over the
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: last year have risen three times as much as the
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: rebates are expected to cost the state. How about green-lighting
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: fracking upstate and eliminating state charges on energy bills? as
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: her GOP opponent Bruce Blakeman has proposed. Rising utility bills
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: are giving a boost to Maine Senator Susan Collins. She's
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: hammered her opponent Troy Jackson, who led the state Senate
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: from 2018 to 2024, for voting to expand the state's
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: net metering program, which subsidizes customers with solar panels. Net
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: metering adds, on average, $ 30 a month to a customer
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: bill in Maine. Asked about his vote in a recent debate, Mr.
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: Jackson acknowledged it did cost more than it should have.
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry to laugh about that. What government program doesn't
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: cost more than it should have? Anyway, Democrats in the
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: Northeast may survive in November thanks to Donald Trump's unpopularity,
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: but they would be wise to reject the climate dogmatism
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: that is hurting voters in their states. Alas, they probably
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: won't once the election is over. Yeah, short-sighted as well
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: as short memories. Anyway, I appreciate the editorial board for
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: pointing that out, providing me with yet another dose of schadenfreude. Oh,
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: it sounds so wonderful until you realize you've got to
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: pay for it. 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK, pound 550 on AT & T.

  Speaker 3: Happy Tuesday. A little over an hour from now, 7.30
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: with Tom Zawistowski from WeThePeopleConvention.org and Daniel Davis' Deep Dive,
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: 8.30 for that one, preceded by the Inside Scoop with
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow. And of course, don't forget Dr.
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: J with the Empower You seminars going on this week.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: That's coming up after the top of the hour news. 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK,
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: pound 550 on AT & T phones, 55KRC. iheart. com for your podcasts.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: And looking forward to having the guests on the program
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: for more podcasts. And it never happens. Oh, it just
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: hardly ever happens. And we don't need to pay any attention.
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: The Justice Department just announced yesterday, guess what? Criminal charges
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: have filed against 28 foreign nationals. These folks were living
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: in California. Why? Registering to vote illegally and or casting
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: ballots in U.S. elections. 11 of the 28 defendants arrested
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: Monday morning, according to U.S. Assistant Attorney Bill S.C.L.I., said
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: authorities expect to take the remaining 17 to custody in
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: the near future. They said, the DOJ said, all 28
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: defendants charged as part of Operation Project or Protect the Vote.
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: I'm struggling a bit this morning. My apologies, folks. This
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: is where lawful permanent residents or green card holders who
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: have legal immigration status but who are not U.S. citizens
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: and therefore are still prohibited from voting in federal elections. So,
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: you know, this isn't the Illegal immigrant criminals that are
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: trying to deport, these are legal immigrants who have no
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: right to vote in a federal election and yet apparently
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: are doing so anyway. Charges levied include making false statements,
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: naturalization applications, fraudulent voter registration, felony offenses which carry maximum
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: prison sentence of about five years. Six of them charged
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: with voting illegally in the Eastern District of California. They
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: also face misdemeanor charges punishable by up to a year
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: in prison. According to Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter,
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: The arrests demonstrate the need for California to address suspected
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: non-citizens on its voter rolls. This is the point I've
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: been hammering over and over of late. You know, everyone
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: should want to uphold the integrity of the election. If
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: you know there are loopholes anywhere in the system that
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: allow people who are not lawfully eligible to vote to vote,
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: then you need to plug the damn holes. It's as
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: simple as that, and who would obstruct that effort? California.
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: And this Deputy Attorney General, Trent McCott, accused state officials
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: of refusing to cooperate with federal efforts to verify voters'
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: citizenship and prevent illegal ballots from being counted. He said
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: in a news conference, the Department of Justice will not
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: look the other way when non-citizens vote in federal elections.
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: Each of the 28 defendants charged today appears on a
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: list of more than 20,000 likely non-citizen registrants we provided
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: to California election officials last week. California... refused to look
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: at the list. Today's charges show exactly what that refusal
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: puts at risk. He said California must verify the citizenship
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: of those more than 20,000 registrants before mail-in ballots are counted. Well,
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: therein lies the rub. It's not just the 28 that
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: have been arrested, swirling question marks about the 20,000 folks
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: who are registered to vote in federal elections. Federal government
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: filed an emergency motion in the case that's actually pending.
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: Trump administration sued the state last week, state of California,
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: after identifying these 20,000 registered voters it believes are non-citizens.
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: So they filed an emergency motion seeking a court order
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: requiring California to set aside those ballots of the 20,000
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: suspected until their citizenship status can be verified. You know,
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: and that exercise wouldn't be necessary if California election officials
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: would just go ahead Take the list and cross-reference it
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: and find out. Here's the answer to your question. You know,
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: there's 20,000 on your list. You know what? Turns out
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: only 5,000 are registered to vote, so we'll deal with
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: them and we won't worry about the rest. Simple process,
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: simple exercise, probably done in a matter of moments. They
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: won't do it. California officials said the state has robust
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: laws to prevent rather ineligible voters from casting ballots and
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: that there is, here we go, the same sentence we
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: read every single time. No evidence such voting is widespread. Widespread. Now,
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: let me just ask you sort of a rhetorical question.
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: How can you say it isn't widespread or it is
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: widespread or come to any other conclusion if you haven't
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: cross-referenced it and checked your voter rolls to find out
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: if people who are not eligible to vote have casted votes?
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: That's a simple answer, isn't it? And if you did it,
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: Even if it isn't widespread, you'd ferret out all the
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: ones that aren't eligible to vote and get them out,
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: and then you can no longer say, we don't mind
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: our P's and Q's and verify the status of people
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: who are voting. But until then, maybe it isn't widespread.
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: Maybe it is widespread. There's a list of 20,000. Why
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: don't you just start there, California? 626-55-KRC, the talk station.
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: And why don't you, my wood-burning, fireplace-freestanding state?
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: Detox Station.
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: It is 631 at 55 KRC Detox Station. There's some
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: local stories sitting in front of me. Hey, look, Cincinnati
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: has too much money. Mike Schell, Fox 19, gets credit.
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: Appreciate that, Mike. City of Cincinnati, millions left over from
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: last year's budget. And now they've got to decide where
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: the money should be spent. Plan said plan would restore
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: funding for some expenses and put money toward other city projects.
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: Some money would go to replenish funds during the costly
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: winter and flooding, while other dollars would support social services
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: and a new. Doesn't matter what comes after the word new,
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: does it? We're talking about the city of Cincinnati and
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: its crumbling infrastructure. Anyway, new manufacturing facility. The plan also
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: returns a long-delayed recreation project to the budget. Hey, Joe,
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: you think we're going to get another skate park? The
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: city needs to reallocate about $ 23 million from last year's money.
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: Vice Mayor John Michelle Lemon Kearney had this to say,
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: it's money not spent. So it's like you put money
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: in certain funds and you allocate them to a project,
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: and the project might come, the project might be less expensive,
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: or maybe couldn't get done at all.
• 50:35
  Speaker 7: Hmm.
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: I'm struggling to just figure out what the hell that is. Anyway,
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: some of the money that will be used to replenish
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: the reserves, such as a city's weather reserve. Jeff Crammerding
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: quoted as saying, we had a big winter, so we
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: used $ 2 million last year. And then, of course, had
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: some flooding on the east side where we used another million.
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: And according to the reporting, it's Nehemiah Manufacturing, Lower Price Hill,
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: could get this new manufacturing facility. He just referenced in
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: the article. Council members praise the company for its hiring policies,
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: which give people with prior criminal convictions a second chance.
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: City proposing to sell the property it owns to the
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: company for $ 1. Councilwoman Anna Albee. said the project would
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: create 15 permanent jobs and 120 temporary construction jobs in
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: addition to Nehemiah's existing 234 employees, calling the project truly remarkable.
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: One project that couldn't get done in two years is
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: construction of a new clubhouse at Newman Golf Course in Bridgetown. Hey, Joe,
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: weren't you really looking forward to that, sitting on the
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: edge of your seat waiting for the new Newman Golf
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: Course clubhouse? How come there aren't protesters out there protesting
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: the golf course and its outrageous use of public water?
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: A new clubhouse? Anyway, council allocated about $ 4 million for
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: that clubhouse back in 2024. $ 4 million? I'm trying to
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: imagine what type of residential home you could build with
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: $ 4 million. Anyway, but earlier this year it was determined
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: that the golf course wasn't ready. So the $ 4 million
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: was sent to the other Cincinnati Recreation Commission projects at
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: Newman and other city courses. How does a golf course
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: prepare itself for a new clubhouse? What does readiness mean
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: in terms of the ability to build a brand new
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: building on a piece of property that is immovable? That's
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: an out loud question. I'm just sort of throwing out
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: into the wind to see if anybody can answer it.
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: Anyway.
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: City Budget Director Andrew Dudas quoted as saying, what we
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: did was basically transfer the money from the original Newman
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: Clubhouse project to allow the irrigation project to occur. And
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: now CRC is circled back to Newman through the issuance
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: of the bond, and that will allow the clubhouse replacement
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: to move forward. And there was much rejoicing. Council committee
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: forwarded all the projects to the full council without taking
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: a vote, meaning all projects are likely to pass without
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: objection as early as tomorrow during the full council session.
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: Where's Citizen Watchdog Todd Zinser to comment on this?
• 53:09
  Speaker 7: 635.
• 53:12
  Speaker 3: 55KRC Detox Station. Where are you to comment on some
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: of these?
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: Detox Station.
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: It's 640 at 55KRC Detox Station. Happy Tuesday. I was
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: thinking about this, and listen. Random thoughts pop into my head, too.
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: It can bounce them off the listening audience if you
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: care to maybe think whether I'm on the right track
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: or not. Now, we talk about polls, polls being wrong.
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: We all know the polls are being wrong. You look
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: backwards in history and you see, wow, they're off by
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: 10 points on average for the last, I don't know,
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: how many election cycles. In all cases, with notable few exceptions,
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: it always skews toward Democrats. And many speculate, postulate that,
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: you know, the polls are intentionally rigged that way because
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: they want to convince you, my conservative friends, maybe independent
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: friends out there, to stay home because it's a worthless exercise.
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: But there are a whole lot of Democrats out there
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: screaming about Republicans stealing the election. I know you've heard them.
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: I just saw a couple of references in articles the
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: other day about politicians and, of course, celebrities from Hollywood,
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: which I always ignore. But Trump's going to steal the election.
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: Trump's going to steal the election. Now, it's a very
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: minor drumbeat going on in the background that are saying
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: that because, you know, Trump was running around saying that
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: his election was stolen, the 2020 election was stolen. And again,
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: here we are in calendar year 2026 approaching the next election,
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: and I haven't seen any legal proof of that, but
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: ignoring that. Could it be maybe the pollsters know that
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: Republicans actually are ahead? Again, this is just a sort
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: of a theory. And then can you imagine the outrage
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: if the Republicans end up, you know, denying the blue
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: sweep that's inevitable to guarantee the Democrats are going to
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: sweep the House and even take over the Senate? And
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: if it doesn't happen? Wait a minute. How is it
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: possible that stolen election? It had to be a stolen election.
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: The polls all showed the Democrats were going to win.
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: Everybody knew the Democrats were going to win. This is
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: an off-cycle election. The party out of power always takes over.
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: Huh?
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: Just a thought. Theory, anyway. We're all going to wait
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: and find. It's not that far away. We're going to
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: know really, really quickly. Statistics in California. This is hilarious.
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: And you want to know why the teachers union embrace
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: open borders. Perhaps another reason why the Democrats have no
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: interest in identifying or otherwise kicking out illegal immigrants, even
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: among the criminal community. Because if you capitulate on the
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: criminal community, then you're going to capitulate on the others. Well,
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: the other people are here illegally as well. They've got
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: no right to be here. They're soaking up resources, et cetera.
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: But a lot of people have argued, like you've seen
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: in Minnesota, and where you have heavy concentrations of any
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: given ethnic group, legal or illegal, that the illegal component
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: and the ethnic group component that relies on social welfare,
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: it creates its own economy. So even though you have
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: people living in concentration under the poverty level in high margins,
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: The social welfare benefits from the states and from the
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: federal government create an economy. That money that's there to
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: buy food and, of course, housing and clothing, well, it's
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: all exchanged and it's put into the economy. Not a
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: powerful economic resource, but if you have a concentrated people
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: that are on welfare, you're going to have a concentrated
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: population with government dollars to spend. And you also are
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: going to get more resources. For example, schools. And this
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: is sort of the revelation from California. I saw this
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: article over in Breitbart. And they relied on statistics from
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: the government showing the number of children of illegal immigrants
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: enrolled in California schools is saving the state millions of
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: dollars in education budget dollars. How is that? Well, the
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: more kids you got in the classroom, the more money
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: you get. And when the number of illegal children Newcomers
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: is what the school district called them. When those numbers drop,
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: the funding for the various programs that the newcomers have
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: drops as well. Not enough warm bodies. We don't need
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: 17 programs. And how about reducing it to six? And
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: that's exactly what Oakland School District did last year. It
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: had 17 special programs for these so-called newcomers in its
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: middle schools. That number has now dropped to six because
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: the enrollment has dropped precipitously because the border has been
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: shut down. Oakland, California, typical example they write, from 2017
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: to 2024, Oakland Unified School District took in an average
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: of 1,300 extra quote-unquote newcomer students each year. In 2025,
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: it was only 498. This year, it's down to 212.
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: Because school budgets, based on overall student enrollment numbers, budget
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: dollars decreasing all the way around in all the state
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: schools that have lost high numbers of children of illegal immigrants.
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: One woman, executive director of the English Language Learner and
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: Multilingual Achievement at Oakland Unified School, Nicole Knight, said, openly admitted,
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: school districts love having the children of illegal migrants flooding
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: into the schools because the artificial padding of enrollment numbers
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: works to pump up the money they get from the state. Saying, quote,
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: we're suffering from declining enrollment, and it does make visible
• 58:35
  Speaker 3: how much newcomers were helping us stay afloat. which suggests
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: to me, pretty clear reading, geez, without these illegal immigrant children,
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: we wouldn't be afloat?
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: Hmm.
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: Interesting to consider it. And the numbers have dropped precipitously.
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: I say with budgets declining already, once this demographic cliff
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: is reached, in other words, the number of newcomers no
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: longer filling these seats, the amount of education dollars thrown
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: will necessarily see huge cuts, meaning millions of dollars in
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: taxpayer money saved. Swirling questions about ultimately what happens to
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: the empty schools and the teachers who formerly taught in
• 59:20
  Speaker 3: formerly packed classrooms filled with newcomers. Steve, hang on. I
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: promise I'll take your call right out of the gate
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: on a Tuesday and a happy one to you. We're
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: going to hear from Jay Risser over at Top of
• 59:32
  Speaker 3: the Hour News. Dr. Jay with the Empower You seminars
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: for the week or two. Tom Zawistowski, among his topics,
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: which will include, of course, trying to egg you on
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: to get you out and vote, Jack Smith's enemies list.
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: Every time I read that this morning on the topic list,
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: I say, yeah, I'm probably on it, and so are you.
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: Got the Breitbart Inside Scoop at 805, Daniel Davis Deep
• 59:50
  Speaker 3: Dive at 830, and Ask the Expert. Deb from Motorex
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: is going to tell you why their products work. Anyhow,
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: let's go to the phone. Steve, thank you for calling
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: and holding over the break there. Welcome to the show.
• 59:59
  Speaker 6: Yes, sir.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 9: Let's go back to the 5 o'clock hour when you
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 9: started your show. First of all, I've got to say,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 9: as somebody who's listened to you and your father for
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 9: many decades, it was really nice hearing Too Sweet again.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 8: I know.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 9: I also wondered where he was. I always enjoyed when
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 9: he called. I'm glad he still listens. That's comforting, just
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 9: knowing he's still out there.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: I know, I know.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 9: I always enjoyed listening.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: I appreciate that, too, because Dad was the first thing
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: that went on my mind when he called up, because
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: I remember him calling my dad and talking with him,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: and I had forgotten that Too Sweet, in spite of
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: what he's conservative leanings, of course he warned everybody about
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 3: voting for Amy Acton, but that he is a devout
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 3: Muslim who obviously knows his Muslim scripture.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 9: Well, a devout Muslim would tend to be conservative, so
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 9: there's no shock with that.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: He's very well-spoken.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 9: He obviously knows what he's talking about. It's just refreshing
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 9: to hear.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, there's conservative Steve, and then there's conservative, like,
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 3: I want to live in the 5th century, conservative Steve.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 9: I like conservative-minded people who are live-and-let-live people, too, which
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 9: is what I consider myself, that I don't care what
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 9: my neighbor does, keep your yard clean, don't play loud
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 9: music at night, all that good stuff.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 9: But the reason I'm calling, one of the passions my
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 9: wife and I share is travel. We've been to about
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 9: 25 different countries. We love to travel. We love where
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 9: we live. We love the United States. But it's great
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 9: to get out of the country and see other things.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 9: In all of our travels, we've been to Paris multiple times.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 9: And this is what you were talking about in the
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 9: 5 o'clock hour. It breaks my heart. Paris is probably
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 9: the favorite city we go to and return to. It's
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 9: absolutely amazing. If you could only leave the United States
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 9: once and visit a destination, I would say Paris. Things
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 9: will settle down there. But this could be taken care
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 9: of very quickly. You can't have the Keystone cop police
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 9: that they've got over there launching tear gas at these thugs,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 9: and the people just kick the canisters back at them
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 9: or throw them back at them. You've got to get
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 9: more serious with them. And if you don't want to
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 9: physically hurt them, you know, make an announcement. Anybody arrested
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 9: will lose all benefits, all public assistance. This will all
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 9: be taken away from you. If you remember, and this
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 9: was either Amsterdam or Brussels a couple of years ago,
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 9: there was an attack from extremists that had immigrated to
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 9: the country, did not work, lived on public assistance, and
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 9: they ended up attacking the airport, the terminal. And it's like, okay, so...
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 9: you're on the public goal, the taxpayers of this country
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 9: are supporting you, and you do this. I honestly think
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 9: if you made examples of people, this would go away.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: Well, that's exactly what the criminal justice system is all about. Now,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: of course, there would have to be a law in
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: place saying if you are found guilty, remember due process
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: exists even over there, to some degree, maybe not on
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: the same legal level as here, but if you are
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: arrested and you are convicted, one of the with one
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: of the penalties, you will lose all access to public benefits.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: It would act as a huge deterrent if they followed
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: through and set examples of people who they've arrested. Look,
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 3: here's Joe Schmoe caught throwing a Molotov cocktail at police
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: officers involved in one of these red-green protests. He's been convicted.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: He's now lost all social benefits. And parenthetically, if that
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: person came into the area illegally, which I think every
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: single human being who enters the European Union is legally
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 3: They're crazy immigration policies, but like over here, you can
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: apply that to the extent the person's illegal. That would
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: subject them to deportation. Bye-bye-bye, problem solved. Yeah, that's true.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: But there would be that, I think, pesky due process thing.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 3: And real quick on travel, I found that since I
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 3: am not a real big travel guy, I love, not
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 3: because it's a Google product. I know Dave Hatter would
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 3: turn over in his living grave, but Google Maps has
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 3: been an invaluable eye-opener for me. Pick a country, and
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: then zoom on in. The vast majority of the world
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: can be revealed to you without getting out of your
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 3: living room, and it will serve as a stark reminder
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: that how great we have it here. I zoomed in
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 3: on some rather large metropolitan areas in Italy once. Every
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 3: single area where I'd drop my little guy to land
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 3: on the street, graffiti everywhere. It looked like a New
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 3: York subway from the mid-1970s. Literally everywhere I turned. I
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: dropped here, I dropped there. Four-mile radius, dropping here, dropping there.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 3: Could not believe it. So, you know, just be thankful
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: for what you have. You don't necessarily have to go
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: someplace else to be thankful for it. Just get an
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: eye-opener full. Use your Google Maps. Coming up at 6.57,
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: coming up on Dr. J with you. 6 on a
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: Tuesday and a happy one to you. Brian Thomas here.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: Welcome back to the 55KRC Morning Show. Dr. J Rissover,
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: who is currently at the helm with assistance at the
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 3: empoweryouamerica.org website. Of course, talking about the Empower You Seminars.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 3: Got some great seminars this semester and what a wonderful

  Speaker 3: education opportunity it is. It's free. You can show up
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: live or you can log in from home. Depends on
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 3: which night or you have the option on nights when

  Speaker 3: there is a live seminar. Tonight's is by login only, empoweryouamerica.org.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 3: Register ahead of time, 7 p.m. start time. Welcome back, Dr. J,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 3: to talk about it.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 8: I'm happy to be back, Brian. Boy, you just do
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 8: that so well.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 5: I'm amazed.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 3: Do what?
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 8: Oh, introduce me, explain how are you. I mean, you know,
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 8: I almost have nothing else to say.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 6: It's very good.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 8: I'm amazed.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: Oh, you're kind.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 8: Actually, I'm not amazed at all.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: You are professional. You are too kind. I don't know.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 3: Sometimes it tends to be rote anymore. I get off
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 3: the show and I'm like, did I make any sense today?
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: I quite often ask myself that question. So for listeners
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: in the audience to say, Thomas, you're not making any sense.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: And I might agree with you if we sat down
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 3: and talked about any given subject matter, but The subject
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 3: matter today, look who's going to be on the program
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: at 8.05, Inside Scoop at Breitbart News, Editor-in-Chief Alex Marla,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: who happens to be on the seminar list tonight at
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 3: 7 p.m.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 8: Yes, indeed. In fact, it seems like somehow we have
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 8: managed to get into Joe's mind and steal all the
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 8: best guests you have and have them on Empower You.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 8: I don't know how it's working, but I've noticed this pattern.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 3: I have no idea how that happens, but do you really,
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: really want to enter into the realm of Joe's mind
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 3: Do you have any idea what's going on in there? Joe,
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 3: I'm just kidding you. I can just see Joe. I
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 3: can see the look on his face when I talk
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 3: because he's on this little Zoom screen. Anyway, enough fun
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 3: and games. What's Alex Marlowe going to be talking about tonight?
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 8: Well, I imagine similar to what he's talking about with you,
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 8: but the title is really very good.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 8: Economics, Polls, and Scrolls with Breitbart's Alex Marlowe. So we're
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 8: going to have the editor-in-chief of all of Breitbart. He's
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 8: been there for years, ever since, unfortunately, Mr. Breitbart passed away.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 8: And he will take a look at media and social
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 8: media influence in our current state of affairs before the
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 8: midterm elections. You've already been talking about that this morning.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 8: So if you guys want to have a chance to
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 8: actually ask Alex a question tonight, 7 p.m., virtually, this
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 8: will be your chance. You can see his face. You
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 8: can see what he looks like and ask him actual questions.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll scratch the surface of that with Alex later
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 3: on the program. But I like the rhetorical questions which
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 3: form the basis for the class description. Can we believe
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 3: what we see online? After an article I read yesterday
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 3: from the AI folks who say that we are like
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 3: a second away from videos, artificial intelligence videos, that no
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 3: one will be able to determine whether they're real or not.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 3: That's crazy. But can we believe what we read online,
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 3: what we're told by news outlets, podcasters, social media users,
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 3: and influencers? how much the narrative is shaped by the truth,
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 3: and how much is shaped by nefarious forces. So there's
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 3: a lot to unpackage on that one for the seminar.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 8: There is, and I look forward to hearing from you.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 8: You have heard the polls are slightly creeping up in
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 8: terms of enthusiasm for Republicans.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 3: I would hope so.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 8: They were beginning to see.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 3: I would really hope so. I hope so. Anyway, the
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: other theory I threw out, I don't know if you
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 3: were listening earlier, maybe they're telling us the polls are
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: leaning so far Democrat that Republicans don't have any chance
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 3: that when the Republicans actually win, That will serve as
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 3: a springboard for their claiming the election was stolen. There'll
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 3: be riots in the streets and, you know, all kinds
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 3: of craziness. But we'll live through it regardless.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: It's certainly possible. We've seen it before, haven't we?
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 7: Anything's possible.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 8: So we also have two more days. Actually, I want
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 8: to briefly mention tomorrow, Wednesday, because, you know, we kind
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 8: of help sponsor a TPUSA club. We have an Empower
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 8: U1 that welcomes kids who homeschool or kids from any
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 8: school that doesn't have a TPUSA chapter. They meet on
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 8: Wednesdays at 7 p.m. at the All Ready Cafe in
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 8: Sharonville on 11083 Reading Road. It's free. You can come
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 8: on by. We'd love to see you. And Chris Monzel
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 8: is their guest tomorrow, Wednesday. So I just wanted to
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 8: put in the plug for our friend Chris Monzel.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 3: He's great. Absolutely great. Do you know, roughly speaking, the
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 3: age group of the TPUSA folks that are in this
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 3: local chapter, Jay?
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 8: Well, we invite adults and kids seven and older, but
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 8: generally I think it's high schoolers. That's most of them
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 8: are high school age.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I had in my mind, but I'm
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 3: just trying to give folks an indication like what the
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 3: age range is in case they're inclined to maybe get
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 3: their kids over to the TPU meeting. So Wednesdays for that.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 8: It would be great.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 3: And on the empoweryouamerica.org website, there it is up in
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 3: the corner there, TPUSA right there. So if you need
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 3: information about that meeting and the future meetings, go to
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 3: the empoweryouamerica.org website.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 7: Now we empower you.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 8: America.org is our website.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 3: I just said that.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 7: All right. I know.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 8: Let me talk about Thursday, October 22nd, Lee and Grant
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 8: before they were Titans. So we've heard of generally and
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 8: general grant, of course, and this will be in person
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 8: at our lovely studios. It's Scarlet Oaks at 300 Scarlet
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 8: Oaks drive. The class is led by Rick Russell. Who's
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 8: going to give us, the background of General Lee and
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 8: General Grant, how they grew up, how they were different,
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 8: how they were the same, how they looked militarily. And
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 8: they are two totally different people, of course, two different
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 8: backgrounds and histories, and how that affected the way they
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 8: led their various armies. And, of course, Grant went on
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 8: to become president of the United States. He goes on
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 8: a little bit about that after-war history of them both.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 8: So that should be fascinating with a lot of pictures,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 8: firsthand accounts, a real history lesson. So if you like
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 8: history at all, particularly of very famous people who have
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 8: changed our country, Lee and Grant before they were titans.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 8: Thursday night, 7 to 8.30, Empower You, Scarlet Oaks.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 3: Well, a little insight into next week, too, October 27th.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 3: This one should be really interesting for those interested in
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 3: artificial intelligence centers. The panel is Trenton Residents Fighting Amazon's
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: AI Data Center. I mean, that topic is about as
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 3: white-hot as anything these days. And so are there going
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 3: to be a pro and con panel for that one, Dr. Jay?
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 7: Well, we've had.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 8: Some issues, I think, with that. We were supposed to
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 8: have a representative at Amazon.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: He was confirmed.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 8: And then there was some kind of the city council
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 8: had some kind of decided to delay any decisions on
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 8: this until after the election. And apparently this issue is
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 8: up for election locally. for a decision. So we are
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 8: definitely having the residents fighting it. We're hoping to have
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 8: the pro side. I'm still hoping we can, but I
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 8: think that has fallen through. I will know better next Tuesday.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 8: But it might just be Lori Blankenship and Barry Blankenship,
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 8: the citizens who actually started the uproar against.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: It in Trenton.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the organization they found is Woodsdale and Trenton Environmental Resistance,
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 3: aka WATER. which makes me go back to the whole
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 3: idea that if you have a closed-loop system, you really
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 3: don't use that much water, at least if you want
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 3: to compare it to a golf course, negligible amounts of
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 3: water for AI. Just saying it out loud, Jay.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 8: And if I understand it, that was their plan that
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 8: was adjusted. Now in the state of Ohio, you have
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 8: to do that. So we will see what they have
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 8: to say. I'm very curious to hear their side of it.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 3: As am I. It'll be easy to do. EmpowerYouAmerica.org. Log
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 3: in from the comfort and convenience of your own home
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 3: both days. Tonight is only virtual. Thursdays is in-person or virtual.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 3: Should be fun either way you go. And then next week,
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 3: of course, that AI Data Center discussion and a discussion
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 3: about Nathaniel Green, Hero of the American Revolution. That'll be
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 3: on Thursday the 29th. EmpowerYouAmerica.org. Dr. J., thank you so
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 3: much for doing what you're doing. Appreciate your commitment to it.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 3: It's a volunteer position. I know it takes up some
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 3: of your time, but Part of me really kind of
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 3: thinks you enjoy doing this, Jay.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 8: I've always loved teaching, so this is kind of hitting
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 8: one of my sweet spots.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 3: I figured it was, which is exactly why you were
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 3: hand-selected for the job. Jay, love you, brother. Thank you
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: again for what you're doing tonight. Log in at PowerUAmerica.org.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 3: The details on my blog and podcast page is 55KRC. iHeart. com. Jay,
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 3: we'll talk again real soon. Have a great week. 7.15
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 3: right now, 55KRC, the talk station. Oh, wow. Bombshell dropping
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 3: this morning. 55KRCD Talk Station. Happy Tuesday. Looking forward to
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 3: Tom Zawistowski. WeThePeopleConvention.org. Tom joins us in the next segment.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 3: We'll talk about getting out the vote. And we'll, of course,
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 3: delve into the topic that he's got for us this morning.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 3: Jack Smith enemies list. He's pointed it out every morning.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 3: I'm sure I probably am on that one, as are
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 3: probably a lot of my listeners. Inside scoop with Breitbart News.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 3: Alex Marlow, as we talked about with Jay Riss over
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 3: there with the Empower You seminar tonight at 7. Daniel Davis,
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 3: Deep Dive on Iran. That is later in the program.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 3: In the meantime, if you'd like to call, feel free
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 3: to do so. You may want to react to this one.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 3: Ken Blackwell. Love Ken Blackwell. Within the last hour, he
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 3: just posted this on Facebook. And, you know, could this
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 3: be an October surprise? Breaking news. He writes, Ohio Democratic
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 3: gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton's own mother urges voters not to
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 3: vote for her daughter. New ad running in Ohio features
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 3: Donna Arthur, the mother of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton,
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 3: asking voters to keep her daughter out of office. Arthur
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 3: says Acton has lied about her own childhood and about
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 3: her opponent, Vivek Ramaswamy. Arthur looks straight into the camera
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 3: for the entire spot. This is everything she says, and
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 3: Ken Blackwell puts it in quotes. My name is Donna Arthur,
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 3: and I'm Amy Acton's mother. I worked at Children's and
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 3: Family Service Association, building one of the first two sexual
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 3: abuse programs in America. I love my daughter. But when
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 3: I saw her lying about her opponent, and it's not
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 3: easy for a mother to say this, but Amy has
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 3: a serious problem. She is a liar. She lies about
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 3: her past. She says she grew up living in a tent.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 3: None of that is true. She's lied her entire life.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 3: My daughter needs help and she can't help you if
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 3: she needs help herself. People can change, but first they
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 3: have to tell the truth and my daughter still isn't
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 3: doing that. Don't vote for people who lie. Don't let
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 3: her become your governor. If you think she'll make your
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 3: life better, you're fooling yourself. It will only get worse.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 3: Close quote. Amy Acton's mom. Now, how does one react
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 3: to that? I know how I'd react if my mom
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 3: came out swinging against me, telling you, everybody, that I'm
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 3: a liar all the time. Not only would that be, well,
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 3: in and of itself a lie, it would certainly hit
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 3: me square in the gut. Blackwell says this is the
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 3: toughest campaign ad ever run. It's also truthful, and Ohio
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 3: voters needed to hear it. Acton built her campaign on
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 3: her life story in 2020. CNN and other outlets told
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 3: how she moved from place to place as a child
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 3: with her mom and younger brother. She told a Youngstown
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 3: TV station she lived in 18 places before the age
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 3: of 12. She told the Toledo Blay her family slept
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 3: in a tent at one point. Her mother was there
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 3: for those years, and she says the story is false.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 3: Acton moved into her father in Youngstown around 7th grade,
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 3: so the childhood in question is the one Arthur saw firsthand.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 3: Arthur made similar claims in a published interview back in 2020.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 3: Now she's making them on camera, where far more Ohioans
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 3: will hear them. A candidate who stretches the truth about
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 3: her own past will stretch it about anything. Blackwell comments
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 3: Acton asked voters to trust that she understands struggling families
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 3: because she lived it. When her own mother says the
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 3: story isn't true, every other promise Acton makes deserves a
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 3: second look. Now pause for a moment and consider this
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 3: is the woman who refuses to debate. And since this,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 3: I do recall hearing something by way of a similar
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 3: allegation that her mom made about her lying about her childhood.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 3: That obviously went back to the one that Blackwell referenced
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 3: back in 2020, but not a far-reaching point of fact
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 3: that's going on around there. But can you imagine in
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 3: a gubernatorial debate, maybe Vivek Ramaswamy might want to bring
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 3: that point up, and of course she'd want to dodge
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 3: that bullet. Why would she subject herself to that? Moreover,
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 3: why would she subject herself to questions or comments about
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 3: her quitting her job so shortly after being appointed to
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 3: the position of medical director in Ohio? Maybe she might
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 3: not want to answer questions about why she's been labeled
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 3: Amy Lockdown Act, and since it was her at her behest,
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 3: I know DeWine said, oh, Buck stops here, and yeah,
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 3: the Buck does stop at the governor's office, Mr. DeWine,
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 3: but You didn't independently come up with the conclusion that
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 3: the schools needed to be locked down, did you? No,
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 3: you relied on your trusted medical advisor who told you
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 3: to shut the schools down. Amy acted.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 8: Ms.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 3: Acton, what were you relying on when you determined that
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 3: it was important for us to be the first state
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 3: in the country to shut down schools? Did you do
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 3: the research yourself? Are you a virologist? Did you look
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 3: to find out if there were any alternative opinions on
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 3: what might work and what does work, what doesn't? The
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 3: answer obviously be no or you know dodge duck dodge
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 3: dive duck and dodge five d's of dodgeball you know
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 3: where i'm going on that but see she won't debate
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 3: so she doesn't have to get confronted with these so
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 3: you got to rely on a campaign ad and you
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 3: know here we are in the age of ai my
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 3: first reaction of course is it's going to be from
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 3: now until the moment i'm buried is this real is
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 3: that really Her mom? Because whose mom out there would
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 3: say something like that publicly and for the purpose of
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 3: a campaign ad benefiting her opponent? 725, 55K or CD
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 3: Talk Station, Tom Zawistowski up next. In your yard. 730
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 3: on a Tuesday and a happy one it always is
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 3: with Tom Zawistowski. WeThePeopleConvention.org, Tom Zawistowski. Weekly podcast, always worth
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 3: a listen. You can get it there at WeThePeopleConvention.org as
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 3: well as everything else that Tom posts throughout the week. Tom,
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 3: you're always here on the morning show at this time
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 3: and I truly appreciate it. Welcome back.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm sure glad to be back, but just promise
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 4: me that you're not going to have Joe calling my
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 4: mother to get some quotes about me because I hope
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 4: she should give a little better comments than Amy Acton's mom,
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 4: but that's quite a story you just told before I
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 4: came on here. Holy moly.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 3: And you know, Tom, I mentioned out loud my first
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 3: reaction is, oh, this has to be artificial intelligence, but
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 3: you know, I got a lot of faith in Ken Blackwell,
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 3: you know? And, and, and again, this is a repeat
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 3: of something she had previously been on record as saying
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 3: back in 2020. So she's just coming out loud and
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 3: doing a commercial for essentially for, it's probably a pack
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 3: that supports Vivek Ramaswamy, but regardless of where the video
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 3: came from until I find that it's not real, it
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 3: seems to be real. And somebody's ass is going to
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 3: be on the line. If they put up a fake
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 3: AI video and connects with a political ad. So, I
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 3: think we pretty much hang our hat on it that
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 3: her mom says she is currently and has been her
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 3: whole life a liar. I mean, wow.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 4: Well, and I think there's other corroborating evidence of that.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, you and I have talked about this. Amy
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 4: Acton is a pathetic candidate. I mean, she was a
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 4: pathetic health director. Her life has been pathetic. She's got
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 4: no record of anything. And so this whole idea that
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 4: she's tied with a vague or she's competitive and all that,
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 4: is also a construct, right? It's a propaganda campaign. You know,
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 4: the fact of the matter is Amy Acton shouldn't be
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 4: anywhere near running any organization. I wouldn't let her run
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 4: a Girl Scout troop. So, you know, I take a
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 4: lot of truth in this because there is some historical
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 4: evidence and there's other corroborating evidence. The bottom line is
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 4: people can see with their own eyes, right? I mean,
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 4: you've had Vivek on your show. When was the last
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 4: time Amy.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: Was on your show? Did she?
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 4: Come on, did Joe Booker? I don't think that happened,
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 4: did it? Funny how that is.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 3: Joe just said Slim left town.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 8: Right?
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 3: Slim and non-slim.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: He just needs to know.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 4: But if X on, he told me what he's going
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 4: to do, she won't even come on. What's the decision?
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 3: I don't know. And that's why I have labeled her
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 3: a coward. I mean, who is seeking office that isn't
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 3: interested in getting any airtime or the opportunity to debate
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 3: why the merits of their case and what they plan
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 3: on doing for the citizens of the state of Ohio
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 3: isn't so much better than the opposition? Isn't that why
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 3: we have debates, Tom, stating the obvious? I mean, Lord Almighty.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but we're in a different place now because Joe
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 4: Biden wasn't seeking the presidency. They just chose him. The
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 4: forces that be said, yeah, we can elect this clown.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 4: And then they managed him just like they're managing Amy Acton.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 3: Until?
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 4: Amy Acton was like, oh, I can run Ohio. Let
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 4: me run for governor. Did you ever see her with
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 4: that kind of drive? No, the Democrats were desperate for
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 4: any candidate because they have none. The Democratic Party here
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 4: in Ohio is nearly dead. So they had to dredge
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 4: up her because she's the only one who had any
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 4: name ID. And so, yeah, she's not running for governor.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 4: There's forces behind her that are running her for governor.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 4: But she's as much of an empty suit as Joe
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 4: Biden is. As you'll ever see.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 3: Well, at least you've got to give her credit for
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 3: not following the entire Joe Biden playbook. Because what happened?
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 3: He hid in his basement, refused to talk, didn't come out,
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 3: answer questions, or do anything until the debate. At which
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 3: time we all found out the guy has really deteriorated
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 3: to the point where he can't even answer a single
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 3: question without sounding like, well, someone whose brain has left
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 3: the room. Can't do that. So Amy Acton says, ah,
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 3: so far up to that moment in time, Joe Biden's
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 3: strategy was working really well. And then the bottom fell out.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to make that mistake. I'm not going
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 3: to debate.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and the people running her campaign were the same
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 4: people that were involved with Biden, Obama, and Kamala and
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 4: all that, and they learned from their mistake, right?
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 3: They learned.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 4: So that tells you all you need to know. They're
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 4: a fraud. That's not real. Vivek Ramaswamy, he wants to
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 4: run for governor. He wants to be governor. He actually
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 4: has a plan if he becomes governor. And he's been
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 4: out there talking to everybody and, boy, taking every hard
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 4: question you can get. I've seen him many times speak
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 4: in person. He's not hiding from anything. So, again, what's
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 4: your choice? I think Vivek wins big. My guess is 7%
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 4: to 8%, which is still stupid. He should win by 30%
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 4: or 40%. But I think since the gas tax suspension,
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 4: I had told him that I thought it would give
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 4: him a 4% boost. I think that's happened. Since then,
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 4: I think you've seen the polls start to spread. I
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 4: feel good about him. I feel good about John Houston,
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 4: you know, because, you know, I love the fact that
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 4: they're sending Barack Obama in, right? That, like, how's that
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 4: going to help anyone in Ohio to bring in Barack Obama? And, oh,
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 4: by the way, let's see what kind of crowd he
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 4: draws compared to the two crowds that Trump drew in
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 4: Dayton and Youngstown. So, you know, I think they're pretty desperate.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 4: I feel I'm very excited about the House race in Cincinnati.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 4: You had Eric Comer.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 3: Eric Conroy. Conroy.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: Conroy.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 4: I'm telling you, we can win that race. He's doing
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 4: a good job. He's got a plan. He's articulate. He's
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 4: in touch with the people. We win the House race
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 4: in Cincinnati. It will be a sign that nationally it's
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 4: going to be a wipeout and the Republicans are going
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 4: to have like a 15 seat lead in the House.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 4: That's a critical race and it's going really well.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 3: Tom Zawistowski bubbling over with optimism this morning here on
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 3: The Morning Show. I welcome optimism, Tom. I love hearing
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 3: what you're saying. I sure as hell am praying you
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 3: were right. Yeah, if you want to hear Eric Conroy's interview,
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 3: it's at 55kc. iheart. com or just check out his website, ericconroy.com.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 3: Definitely a better choice than Greg Lansman. Don't go away.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 3: I got a thought question to ask Tom Zawistowski before
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 3: we find out what in the hell is going on
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 3: with Jack Smith's enemies list, which, again, I think I'm
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 3: probably on. more with tom after i mentioned cullen electric
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 3: andrew cullen and his amazing team of rc.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 11: The talk station 740 55 krc the talk station brian
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 11: thomas with tom zawistowski we the people convention.org book market
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 11: so you know what i'm talking about you can hear
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 11: tom every week with a podcast tom real quick uh
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 11: i i would argue we seem to be in watching
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 11: the the deterioration and the well The collapse of France,
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 11: I think we're watching it real time.
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 3: They've been in deficit spending far in excess of GDP
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 3: for such a long time. They've obviously had open borders
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 3: for longer than we had. Thank God Donald Trump got
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 3: elected and stopped that just massive flow of humanity over
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 3: the southern border. We would be living real time what
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 3: they're dealing with there. But, Craig, if I'm wrong here, France,
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 3: you got your free health care, right? You got paid
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 3: parental leave, child care programs. Free preschool, five weeks of
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 3: paid vacation, 35-hour work week, unemployment benefits, pension benefits. You
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 3: can retire early there. Isn't this everything the left wants
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 3: and so much more? What in the hell are they
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 3: screaming in protest and wanting to burn it down, Tom?
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 3: I thought this is the kind of thing the leftists
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 3: were pushing for in this country.
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 4: Well, it is exactly what they're pushing for in this country.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 4: That's why I always tell our people, I remind them,
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 4: This isn't just a fight for America. This is a
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 4: fight for the world. This is about Western civilization. And
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 4: you and I talked about Marco Rubio's brilliant speech from
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 4: Greece last week, I think it was. So, yeah, what
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 4: you're seeing in France is what they're trying to do here.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 4: And it starts with, right, you know, socialism. Oh, we're
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 4: going to just have these social programs to take care
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 4: of people and kind of even things out. But what
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 4: do they really want? They want communism. And if you
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 4: look at the demands now, you know, even after all
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 4: the things you said they've got, it's not enough. It's
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 4: not enough. They want guarantees and all this stuff. So, yeah,
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 4: it's right there in front of us. And, Brian, I mean,
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I believe in God, and I understand
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 4: how God works. And there are things that are happening
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 4: that just have to be God, because the thing in
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 4: France is like a giant flashing sign. Wake up, America.
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 4: Wake up, America. And then you got the Jack Smith thing.
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 4: And then you got the debanking conservative things. And then
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 4: you got the Slotkin thing about prosecuting Trump voters. staffers.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 4: Those are like, I couldn't pay for things to help
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 4: me make the case why you need to get out
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 4: and vote and vote against every Democrat. Those make the
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 4: case for us.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt. That's the slotkin. And I want young
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 3: people coming out of school to say, should I go
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 3: to work for the Trump administration? Like, that sounds fun.
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 3: I might get opportunity. I want them to be like, Lord,
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 3: that might be buying myself a ton of problems that
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 3: I don't want. And so let me avoid participating in that.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 3: I want that deterrence message. That's her quote. That sounds
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 3: like a threat. You know, and I, I talked to
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 3: you the other day about people were talking about note.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 3: There were no, um, conservative signs. There was no Ramaswamy signs,
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 3: no Houston signs. It was one of my listeners who
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 3: was traveling up in the greater Cleveland, Toledo, you know,
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 3: Northeast part of our North part of Ohio. Anyway, generally
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 3: nothing up there, nothing up there. And I thought to myself, well,
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 3: you know, I've never had a sign in my front yard. No,
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 3: I strike that Christopher Smithman got the benefit of a
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 3: sign in my front yard, even though we were way
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 3: outside of the city. I love Christopher, but I just
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 3: don't do it. Um, Maybe because I don't want to
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 3: display my political affiliation. Everybody in my neighborhood knows who
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 3: I am and what I believe in, but I just
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 3: don't do it. And I think a lot of people
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 3: probably feel that way because of this slotkin kind of attitude.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 3: People are being attacked literally every day for literally anything
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 3: you can be attacked on online. Why would anybody want
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 3: to invite that by putting a sign in their front yard?
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 3: The radical crazies will tear signs down. They'll attack you.
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 3: They'll dox you. They may swat you. just because you
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 3: have no maybe major objections with Donald Trump, let alone
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 3: someone who actively supports him. I mean, that might bother people.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 3: It might concern people. And look, here you got powerful
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 3: people telling young people that they shouldn't even work in
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 3: the Trump administration.
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 3: Because, well, we're white here waiting to come after you.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 3: There will be some repercussion if you do.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 4: And so what does that really mean? Not just that
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 4: they'll come after. And again, remember, they're the ones saying
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 4: Trump is going after his political enemies, right? But they're
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 4: the ones who went after their political enemies. But it's
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 4: more than that. I've said on your show before, and
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 4: I'm going to make the point again, because I don't
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 4: think people are getting it well enough. It's real simple.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 4: If Slotkin and her backers will do that to conservatives,
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 4: they'll do it to Democrats. That's why no Democrat vote
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 4: is safe. I don't care if you knew that really
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 4: nice woman is a Democrat city council member for 30 years.
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 4: You went to high school with them and you know
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 4: they're a good person. You can't vote for them this
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 4: time because of Slotkin, because of OAC, because of DSA,
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 4: because they're telling you, as a Democrat, we just had
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 4: up here in the 13th, Amelia Sykes. Amelia Sykes, a
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 4: black woman congressman in Akron and Canton, just met with
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 4: OAC at Kent State a day after OAC gave a
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 4: million dollars to El-Said In Minnesota, who is the most
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 4: radical Islamist, you know, anti-American there is. So what's the
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 4: message to the black voters in Akron and Canton? If
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 4: you vote for Amelia Sykes, she's not going to do
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 4: what you want. She's not going to do what she
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 4: thinks is right. She's going to do what the hell
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 4: they tell her to do. And that's the same thing
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 4: with our buddy Sherrod Brown, baby. Sherrod Brown has been
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 4: a go-along, the get-along his entire life. They recruited him
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 4: because they know he will vote the way they tell him.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 4: So that's all you need to know. You can't vote
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 4: for any Democrat at any level because they are not
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 4: able to vote the way they think. And that's the
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 4: difference between the Republicans and the Democrats. And I hope
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 4: that message is finally getting across. You can't vote for
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 4: any Democrat no matter what. You must vote against all
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 4: of them if you want to save our country.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 3: Well, continuing the discussion about hit list, we've got a
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 3: target on our back, Jack Smith's enemies list. Tom's going
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 3: to dive into that next after I mentioned coverage. 751,
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 3: it's about the KRCV talk station. Happy Tuesday. Tom's out
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 3: of town. See you at peopleconvention.org. It's the website. Tom,
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 3: what's the story on the Jack Smith hit list? I
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 3: guess folks of the conservative mindset are probably all on it.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 3: I know he rifled through bank records and credit card
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 3: transactions and Lord Almighty, how many Fourth Amendment violations were
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 3: in all this, Tom? Because I don't think any of
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 3: the people he was looking into the records had probable
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 3: cause to believe a crime had been committed. Tom, your take.
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a significant case and a significant release
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 4: by Chuck Grassley, because what we're seeing is how broad
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 4: really the Biden administration's attempts to target conservatives have gotten.
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 4: I mean, 639,000 Republicans are in a database that Jack
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 4: Smith collected that basically is people who bought mega hats, Brian.
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 4: They bought mega hats. They donated as little as a
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 4: dollar to the Trump campaign. And they built this database
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 4: that has your name, address, your phone number, your birth date,
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 4: the last four digits, your social security number and all that. Now,
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 4: here's the point that everyone's missing on this, because that's outrageous.
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 4: And oh, yeah. When is Jack Smith going to prison?
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 4: How long we got to go on this little thing?
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 4: But here's the real question. What do you think he
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 4: was going to do with that list, Brian? You think
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 4: he's going to use it to send you Christmas cards maybe?
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 4: Or if they had won, if Joe Biden had stayed
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 4: on the resuscitator long enough to get reelected or Kamala
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 4: Harris was able to steal the election again, what do
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 4: you think they were going to do with that list?
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 4: They were going to target you. They were going to
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 4: come after you. And then that story is tied to
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 4: the story about debanking. Every major bank in America has
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 4: debanked conservatives and Christians. Bank of America, Chase Bank, every bank,
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 4: every major bank debanked us. What do you think what's
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 4: going to happen if we don't elect Donald Trump? That's
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 4: what's going to happen if you don't vote now. You
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 4: think they already showed their hand. There's the evidence. And
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 4: when they take back power, baby, they're going to go
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 4: a hundred times further than Because they didn't get the
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 4: job done because we rose up and elected Trump. And
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 4: if we didn't elect Trump, we'd be France today. So
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 4: that's what's on the ballot, and there's your proof right there.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I was thinking along those very lines
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 3: over the break, and this isn't the first time I
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 3: thought about it, but Trump beating Hillary Clinton really was
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 3: momentous for so many reasons. I think political observers will
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 3: reflect with hindsight how amazing it was that he put
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 3: a stop to what Barack Obama began. You could say
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 3: if Hillary Clinton had her four years or, jeez, Lord,
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 3: even eight, how much more we would look like France,
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 3: how much more open borders would have impacted us, how
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 3: many more millions and millions of people would be here
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 3: that aren't currently here that would have come across the
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 3: southern border. And, of course, with it, all the political
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 3: agitation and anti-American influence that those folks bring with them.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 3: Trump stopped it. And while it kicked back in and Biden,
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 3: with obviously wide open borders. Here we are with Trump again,
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 3: proving that it was easy to shut them. And people
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 3: just look back and go, we were told so often, no,
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 3: the law needs to be changed. We can't do anything
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 3: because of the law. Tom, I don't think the law
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 3: has changed, but you know, the borders are shut now.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 4: Isn't that amazing? And all you gotta do is follow
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 4: the law, but they don't care about the law. But
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 4: let me correct you about one thing. You know, Trump
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 4: didn't stop them. We, the people did. The Tea Party
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 4: saved America. That's a fact. The Tea Party elected Donald Trump.
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 4: I know MAGA came after that. But what we did
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 4: here in Ohio in particular was saved our nation. And
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 4: now we have a chance to bake that in this election,
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 4: November 3rd. And if you don't, everything we've worked for
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 4: for 17 years is gone. It's gone. And we'll never
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 4: get it back. So I don't know how you and
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 4: I can make it any clearer. I hope you're motivated.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 4: I'm hearing the lines are long. I don't know what
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 4: you're hearing, but people are going to vote early. It's
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 4: an hour wait in a lot of places.
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 6: Oh, really?
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 4: Good. Get out and vote because your life depends on it.
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 4: The future of our country depends on it. Literally, Western
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 4: civilization depends on you. You, just you sitting there listening
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 4: to the radio or watching this podcast, your vote is
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 4: going to save Western civilization. So what are you going
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 4: to do?
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 3: Hopefully vote. heed Tom's advice and warning. WeThePeopleConvention.org. Tom, we'll
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 3: do this again next Tuesday. Keep up the great work,
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 3: my friend. Have a fabulous week between now and then.
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 3: It's 8.06 at 55 KRC, the talk station. Brian Thomas
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 3: here wishing everyone a very happy Tuesday and welcoming to
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 3: the 55 KRC Morning Show, a segment we do each
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 3: week at this time, the Insight Scoop with Breitbart News.
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 3: Always start out by telling my listening audience, bookmark the site, Breitbart, B-R-E-I-T-B-A-R-T.com.
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 3: You'll be glad you did because you can read what
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 3: Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow writes about among the other topics.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 3: Alex Marlow, welcome back to the 55 KRC Morning Show.
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 3: Your name came up earlier in the program. We were
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 3: talking about Empower You seminars. Welcome back, my friend.
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 7: Thank you, Brian.
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 2: I always appreciate what you do for Breitbart and for
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 2: your audience.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 3: Well, we're all trying to do it for the audience.
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is why we exist. We're trying to
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 3: keep people on the straight and narrow and logical, reasonable
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 3: path and keep our country alive. I mean, Lord Almighty,
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 3: we see what's going on in France. We're about half
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 3: a baby step away from that reality. your background is tremendous.
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 3: I have to just note, because your bio talks about
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 3: your long-term relationship with Andrew Breitbart, you were the first
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 3: Breitbart employee, and you started out in his basement. You
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 3: started out and you met him in college, and your
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 3: first career move was to take a huge risk by
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 3: working in the basement. I got a kick out of
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 3: the fact that you were in charge of making sure
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 3: there was Diet Coke in the fridge. I had a
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 3: similar experience. I'll a very large law firm in Chicago.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 3: A couple of partners broke off and asked me to
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 3: come with them. So we started out in a conference
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 3: room in a rented space, and I was in charge
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 3: of coffee procurement. So you got to do the little
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 3: things when you're starting off in a new business. But
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 3: it all worked out great for you, and I'm happy
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 3: with where I ended up. And I'm glad you're doing
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 3: the Empower You seminar tonight because I need you to
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 3: react to this because one of the things you're going
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 3: to be doing, the topic, economics polls and trolls with
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 3: Alex Marlowe. Can we believe what we see online? One
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 3: of the rhetorical questions you're going to dive on into. Today,
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you're familiar with the gubernatorial race
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 3: here in Ohio, but it's Vivek Ramaswamy, demonstrably better candidate
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 3: than Amy Acton. But Amy Acton's mom just made a
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 3: commercial for a PAC where she specifically calls out her
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 3: own daughter, a liar. My name is Donna Arthur, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 3: I love my daughter, but when I saw her lying
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 3: about her opponent, it's not easy for a mother to
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 3: say this, but Amy has a serious problem. She is
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 3: a liar. She lies about her past. She says she
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 3: grew up living in a tent. None of that's true.
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 3: She's lied her entire life. My daughter needs help, among
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 3: the other comments. My first reaction, Alex, and the reason
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 3: I bring that up, not just to remind my listening
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 3: audience about that going on, but my first reaction was,
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 3: this has to be A.I., You know, I mean, we
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 3: can't tell the difference between truth and fiction with video
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 3: even these days. And I thought maybe someone got hook, line,
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 3: and sinker drawn into this because whose mom would say
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 3: something like that about Amy Acton? Well, apparently Amy Acton's
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 3: mom would.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a everyday occurrence where there's something online
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 2: where you feel like, how could that possibly be real?
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 2: And then it does turn out to be real. I mean,
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 2: there was one with this French rioting over the weekend
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 2: where there was an old couple in their underpants and
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 2: a bunch of black-clad younger people taking stuff from them.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 2: That can't be real. Oh, no, it was real. There's
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 2: Elon Musk flying car from last weekend. How is that real?
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 2: Apparently it was. Each and every day we get another
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 2: example of something where we can't tell if it's true.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 2: It was Alyssa Slotkin yesterday who was saying flat out
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 2: she is going to prosecute and to hold legally accountable
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 2: anyone who works for Donald Trump simply because they're Republicans.
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 2: That's the type of stuff. I wrote a whole book,
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 2: which we discussed on the show, Breaking the Law, my
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 2: last book, about this phenomenon where I have to convince
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 2: people this is how the Democrats are behaving. And then
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 2: she just flat out goes and says it. I wrote
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 2: 250 pages explaining that's how they really think. And then
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 2: I never had a quote like that where they're just saying, hey,
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 2: we're going to go after Republicans just for the sake
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 2: of being Republicans. I would have killed for that quote
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 2: when I was doing the book because we all know
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 2: that's what they think. They just started saying it out loud. And, again,
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 2: I had the same thought as you, Brian. That's got
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 2: to be AI, right? Like a clever Republican made that
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 2: up and put those words in their mouth.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 3: Nope, they didn't. How are we to– how do we
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 3: know what's true and what's not online? I mean I–
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 3: I speak truth. I try to rely on the most
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 3: confident resources I can come up with. I'm a fan
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 3: of Breitbart. I know you guys do your due diligence
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 3: in your reporting. You also link sources where some of
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 3: the information comes from. I'm a fan of the Wall
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 3: Street Journal. Yes, some of the things I like and
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 3: some of the things I don't, but they do good,
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 3: credible journalism and they're good at fact-checking. But Once you
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 3: gravitate over to one of the more suspect sources, and
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 3: that's kind of any other side page that doesn't get
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 3: as many hits, isn't known for what they do, then
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 3: we're lost in almost an unnavigable environment. Alex, how do
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 3: we deal with something like that?
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's tough.
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 2: I actually, if it's, some people see this as maybe
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 2: a positive, others probably less of a positive, but I
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 2: don't think the AI slop, as we call it, that
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 2: we're seeing online, I don't think it's less accurate than
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 2: the previous age of media fact checking. I think the
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 2: previous age of media fact checking was somehow even worse.
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 2: And so we've garbage in and garbage out, but some
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 2: of the AI models, particularly Grok, seem to be less
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 2: biased than any sort of major newsroom that you would see.
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 2: And so they were putting out false stuff all the time.
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 2: And Again, not to plug all my books. I'm not
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 2: making money off of these books anymore at this point, guys.
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 2: So if you buy one of my books, it's just
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 2: because I believe in what I wrote in it. My
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 2: first book, Breaking the News, I wrote about the media.
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 2: And I talked about the agendas the media has. But
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 2: I go through all these examples. They were just blatantly false.
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 2: They would ride not for a story or two stories,
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 2: but for months and months and months, just the same
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 2: falsehoods repeated over and over again. And I do think
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 2: in an AI era, we actually could probably fight through
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 2: those news cycles a little quicker. So the best thing
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 2: that you could do is to try to find sources
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 2: that are consistently accurate because we're all busy. And then
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 2: if you do find something that you feel like is suspect,
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 2: try to see if it appears at one of those
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 2: sources you trust. And if it doesn't, then that's a
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 2: good time to run it through a rock or something
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 2: like that and say, is this true? And you're not
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 2: going to get 100% batting average doing that. But for
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 2: busy people, that's generally a pretty good process.
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 1: Indeed.
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 3: And I guess, Mike, one of my concerns along those
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 3: lines is the learning models that these AI systems use.
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 3: It's sort of a volume-based thing. I recall a Reddit
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 3: subgroup conducted a test, and the purpose was to perpetuate
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 3: an absolute outright lie. I mean, it was bizarre. Like, J.D.
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 3: Vance was dead, or J.D. Vance killed Donald Trump, or
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 3: something really crazy. And it involved even more something, even
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 3: something crazier than that. But they went around and they
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 3: repeated it, and they put it on different news sites,
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 3: and they posted it elsewhere. repetition appeared ultimately to give
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 3: credibility to it so much so that when you typed
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 3: in a question about that in AI, it confirmed, at
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 3: least to a certain degree, that that lie was in
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 3: fact true. I mean, that's a reality that we might
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 3: run into unless they change the learning model.
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 2: We're definitely, particularly with Uanthropic and ChatGPT, which is OpenAI,
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 2: both are very left and everyone there is left. And
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 2: we're going to have the same issues as we've seen
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 2: with Google searches, with a By the way, so anything
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 2: Gemini is going to be the same thing, where Google
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 2: basically banishes a lot of conservative sites from their results.
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 2: And so this has been a big thing in the
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 2: news business lately, Brian, is that a lot of these
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 2: websites are losing tons of traffic now because of AI,
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 2: because people are going to AI instead of Google, and
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 2: they relied on Google for their traffic. Well, I can't
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 2: rely on Google for my traffic because we're basically banned
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 2: from Google. Again, something that we've researched and reported on
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 2: repeatedly shows up in my first book as well, how
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 2: Google doesn't allow for people to get to Breitbart stuff
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 2: unless you put the word Breitbart in the search. So
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 2: unless you physically search the word Breitbart, you're not getting
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 2: any of our stories, even if they're exclusive or the
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 2: authoritative story on that subject matter, which is horrific. And
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know how it's legal, but it's held up
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 2: to this point. But so then I'm not dependent on them.
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 2: A lot of these websites that you read, a lot
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 2: of these newspapers that you read are dependent on Google
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 2: funneling them tons of traffic. And people aren't going to
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 2: Google to figure out what's going on. They're going to
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 2: their to their eyes at this point. So it's kind
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 2: of interesting that that's that's a new thing. They're going
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 2: to get hoisted on their own petard, as the expression goes.
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 3: Well, one might hope. But I mean, a lot of
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 3: my listeners, I always consider myself like you. We can
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 3: label ourselves and it's a positive weed dwellers when it
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 3: comes to politics. We can label ourselves weed drovers when
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 3: it comes to ferreting through nefarious information versus accurate information.
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 3: We can search for the truth because we know the
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 3: trusted news sites. And you, as you pointed out, know
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 3: how the quote-unquote nefarious forces work, like your illustration with Google.
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 3: But how are the run-of-the-mill folks who've got more important
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 3: things to do with their lives and follow the minutiae
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 3: of this, how are we out there supposed to deal
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 3: with this in this emerging brave new world, if I
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 3: can call that, drawing Aldous Huxley reference?
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm new as much as I can on the
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 2: politics and international news front at Breitbart.com. So you get
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 2: the Breitbart app. It's the best thing you can do.
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 2: That's number one. I think that's the first thing you
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 2: can do because if we're doing stuff, you know it's
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 2: accurate because, first of all, we have morals and standards.
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 2: But second of all, the fact-checkers are on our case.
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 2: So anything that is wrong, we're getting corrected the moment
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 2: it happens. And all of you guys are good fact-checkers too.
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 2: So we keep an eye on what our audience is
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 2: telling us. If they think something is inaccurate, then they're
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 2: not going to get it. But overall, I think that
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 2: there is a huge crisis in credibility and trust in
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 2: the media, and it's on individual outlets to be able
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 2: to sort it out. But the people are smart, and
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 2: there's lots of volume. So if you go to– again,
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 2: if you're skeptical of a story, I would recommend going
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 2: to Grok or X, the Everything app, and putting it
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 2: in the Grok thing. saying, is this accurate? And usually
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 2: you're going to get a pretty good sense of if
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 2: something's accurate at that point.
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 1: And if you're not.
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 2: Convinced, then just don't repeat it to your friends or
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 2: don't share it with people until you are.
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 3: That's sound advice right there, Alex. Well, and you know,
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 3: the idea of social media influencers, perhaps that people, and
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 3: here's my, my often repeated rules for memes. I get
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 3: memes all the time that I have friends who are
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 3: just meme fanatics. So I'll get, I'll get 15, 20
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 3: in a row from some folks. Sometimes you're like, wow,
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 3: But most of the times I'm, wait a second, that
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 3: can't be true. So I'll follow up with it and
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 3: I'll type in the information that's in a meme and
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 3: I'll find out, yeah, you know, Andy sent me another
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 3: one that sounds plausible, but it is not true. So
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 3: maybe we need to fact check what we're hearing from
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 3: social media influencers online and various podcasts online.
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm very interested in exploring this. I was thinking
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 2: about this recently about how The memes, the individual influencers online,
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 2: particularly I've been noticing this on the meta platform, Instagram,
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 2: and I'm not on Facebook a lot, and then I'm
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 2: not on TikTok a lot, but I know the stuff
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 2: on TikTok is just completely deranged. At this point, TikTok's 100%
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 2: responsible for the Lindsay Clancy phenomenon that we all were
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 2: forced to live through that was completely egged on by TikTok.
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 2: There's so much false stuff from individual creators that's proliferating
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 2: in the algorithms, and then it'll get hundreds of thousands
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 2: of likes on it. And as a person who runs
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 2: a pretty big newsroom, I feel very odd correcting some
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 2: person with 12,000 followers who had one viral post. But
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 2: the algorithm does keep pushing the inaccurate posts because people
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 2: engage with it. And that is a curse. It really
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 2: is a curse that we're dealing with this right now.
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 2: And it's very hard to fight through it, especially when
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 2: you're seeing, you know, Mark Zuckerberg 2.0 is he's been
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 2: kind of cool to Trump all of a sudden. And
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 2: so what's the Trump administration going to do? Just go
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 2: in there and say, hey, Mark, all these false stuff
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 2: that make us look bad are going viral. Can you
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 2: shut that down? it's kind of a weird move. It's
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 2: kind of a weird move if the White House were
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 2: to do that. So it's a real new frontier that
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 2: we're in and we got to work through it each
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 2: and every day.
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 3: Well, haven't we been through that or down that road
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 3: before with the prior administration and having agents inside Facebooks
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 3: and other social media platforms?
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 2: And I think it's not a great look. You know,
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 2: when you learned that Joe Biden was pressuring Zuckerberg to
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 2: change stuff in the election, Zuckerberg said, so it's not
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 2: a great look. So Trump's got to be thinking about that. But,
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 2: you know, on the Zuckerberg platforms, there's just tons and
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 2: tons of far-left falsehoods that go viral every day. And
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 2: a lot of people aren't going to be smart about
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 2: sorting it out. Your audience will, my audience will, but
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 2: that's not the whole world, unfortunately.
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 3: Well, and going back to the number of clicks, likes, reposts,
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 3: we can't even trust that. I mean, there are bot
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 3: farms out there that are self-serving, politically motivated, Chinese Communist
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 3: Party bot farms that seek to undermine America's interests and
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 3: will stir the pot of whatever it's in its best
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 3: interest by giving the appearance of that any given post
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 3: is popular.
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, totally, totally right. It's very, it's just, it's so
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 2: challenging out there in this regard because so many people
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 2: buy followers. So you think they're credible because you have
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 2: a lot of followers, but a lot of them aren't real.
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of followers who are, uh, you know, foreign, but,
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 2: but that just means we can't count who they are.
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 2: It's not that I, we have an international audience too.
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 2: That's great. But a lot of them are these farms
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 2: that are overseas and they're simulating lots of people and
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 2: they're not. And a lot of the engagement, you can
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 2: see a lot of the engagement on certain platforms is AI.
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 2: I noticed this in my mentions on certain platforms that
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 2: a lot of it is just clearly not a human
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 2: being who wrote it. It's just really sloppy AI stuff
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 2: that people are doing to try to build their own
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 2: accounts by engaging with other accounts. And it is very
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 2: hard to sort out what's real and what's fiction now.
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 2: So that's why I recommend get some books, go take
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 2: a walk, go touch some grass. Don't spend your whole
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 2: day on the internet.
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 3: And log in at 7 p.m. EmpowerYouAmerica.org where my guest
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 3: today from Breitbart, Alex Marlow, will be doing economics, polls,
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 3: and trolls. You can talk to him, ask questions. This
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 3: is going to be a nice one. You have interactive
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 3: exchange and he can give you a lot more information
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 3: about what we scratched the surface on this morning on
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 3: the Breitbart Inside Scoop. Thank you, Alex, for everything that
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 3: you do throughout the week. I appreciate your teaming up
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 3: with Andrew Breitbart so many years ago and doing the
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 3: great work that he started. I look forward to having
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 3: your team back on the program next Tuesday at the
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 3: same time. Have a great week and enjoy the seminar tonight,
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 3: my friend.
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 1: 55KRC, the talk station.
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 3: 829 on a Tuesday, it is that time of week
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 3: you get the Daniel Davis deep dive. You can find
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 3: the podcast from Daniel Davis throughout the week wherever you
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 3: get your podcasts. And of course, you can get him
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 3: here every Tuesday at this time. Welcome back to the
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 3: 55KRC morning show, my friend, retired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis.
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 3: Good to see you.
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 12: Right, always a pleasure to be here.
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 4: Good to see you.
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 3: All right, let's try to unpackage what's going on between
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 3: the United States, Iran, and we need to factor in Israel,
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 3: don't we? Because... Elections seem to be in play here. Now,
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump said, well, we're going to start bomb before
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 3: the election. We'll bomb after the election. Maybe we won't bomb.
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 3: Maybe we'll use the mother of all bombs. We seem
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 3: to be jumping all over the place. But the idea
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 3: of kinetic action getting back in gear has been brought
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 3: up a lot of late. But Netanyahu said the other day,
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 3: at least in connection with the conversation he had with Trump,
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 3: as I have read, there was a job to finish.
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 3: But he's facing an October 27th election, so we've got
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 3: competing political interests in connection with a war. Obviously, the
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 3: war does influence profoundly the direction of elections, but should
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 3: elections really influence the direction of a war? I don't
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 3: know that that's a very good military strategy, but that's
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 3: why we have you here, retired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis.
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 3: What do you think?
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 12: Well, all those things are at play, and that's because
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 12: of the chaotic environment, both political— domestic, international, and military.
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 12: It's just pert near impossible to be able to figure
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 12: out anything that makes sense. I just got to be
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 12: honest with you because there are so many competing requirements
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 12: and desires. But I think that the bottom line here,
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 12: looking at this from a military perspective, we need to
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 12: kind of sober a view, and this is for everybody,
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 12: there is no military solution for the United States. There's
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 12: not necessarily a military solution for Iran either.
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 3: Because they can't physically defeat either the U.S.
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 7: Or Israel.
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 12: They can inflict a lot of harm on them, however. We,
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 12: on the other hand, cannot defeat them militarily because of
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 12: all these missile cities we've talked about a lot. You
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 12: can blow up anything you want on the surface. There's
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 12: virtually nothing that Iran can do to stop that, kill
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 12: a bunch of people. That won't defeat the military capacity
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 12: of Iran. So one day or another, whether anyone likes
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 12: it or hates it with all of their soul, we're
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 12: going to have to find some kind of negotiated settlement.
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 12: Because if we try to force the issue, like bringing
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 12: in a third aircraft carrier and trying to do even
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 12: more than we did in the first round, all we're
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 12: going to end up doing is getting more Israeli stuff
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 12: and more American stuff and more GCC oil infrastructure destroyed
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 12: in the process. So if we try to force this,
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 12: it's not going to go well for us.
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 3: Well, Trump also said we just walk away and go home.
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 3: And I don't know that'd be politically beneficial for him.
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of people here in America might
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 3: be happy about that. But is there any possibility that
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 3: Israel just say, go it alone? They have bombed Iran
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 3: in the past, I believe, also launched the attacks on
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 3: the centrifuges through software attacks and other types of attacks,
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 3: blew up people by remote control with the walkie-talkie situation.
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, There have been go-it-alone actions by Israel. Any
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 3: opportunity for that or chance of that? Are they aware
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 3: of what you are saying? You can't beat Iran militarily.
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 12: No, and look at the first part of what you
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 12: said first. I have been a huge advocate, begging almost
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 12: President Trump to do exactly what he suggested near.
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 3: The walk-away plan.
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 12: That is the one thing the United States can do
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 12: where it's in our control and we have some influence
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 12: over the outcome. Because if we just walk away and
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 12: pretend like we won and claim victory, etc., Iran is
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 12: significantly harmed. We can always go back in if there's
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 12: ever a need to. But then the war comes to
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 12: an end. Nobody else has died, and then we can
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 12: start getting back to getting the waterways opened up. Lots
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 12: of complications with that, but that's the least offensive way
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 12: to do it. But in terms of whether Israel can
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 12: go it alone, Israel can do actions all day long.
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 12: There's no question about that, as you just listed off
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 12: that list right there.
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 4: But can that win a war?
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 8: No.
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 12: All it can do is just keep the friction alive.
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 12: Because if Israel tried to go to war on its own,
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 12: not just actions periodically, they would run out of supplies quickly.
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 12: They just don't have the physical capacity with their air power,
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 12: without our refueling capacity, without our additional support in the air, intelligence, etc.
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 12: And of course, the missiles, the bombs themselves, offensive and defensive.
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 12: Without a steady flow of that, Israel by itself simply
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 12: cannot wage a long-term war against Iran because they can
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 12: sustain this level of action for a considerable amount of time.
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 3: Well, just packing it up and going, and I understand
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 3: where you're coming from from that, I don't know that
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 3: that necessarily would reopen the strait. What incentive? Because I
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 3: have to imagine that if Trump just said, all right,
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 3: we're pulling the hardware out, we're not going to do
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 3: this anymore, you guys have the place to yourself, but
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 3: we are not going to enable the Iranian government, the
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 3: sanctions will not be lifted. So I mean, is there
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 3: any likelihood that the sanctions would be lifted? To the
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 3: extent they're not, or any other pressure from the United States,
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 3: non-militarily speaking, would, it seems to me, result in the
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 3: Iranians saying, all right, screw you guys. We're going to
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 3: continue bombing ships going through the Strait. We're going to
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 3: continue to mine it until we get our way.
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 12: Okay, so, yeah, and that's really the point of tension
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 12: and the point of opportunity. We don't have to— With
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 12: the memorandum of understanding, we would have had to do
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 12: a lot of things, release sanctions, release frozen funds, work
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 12: on reparations.
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 1: All kinds of other things.
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 12: By the walk away, you don't have to do any
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 12: of that at all. You can keep the sanctions in place.
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 12: You cannot release the frozen funds. You can't even talk about,
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 12: you can just not even talk about the reparations.
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 4: You won't even tie that conversation.
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 12: But by releasing our blockade, then Iran has a profound
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 12: incentive to also release their blockade. Now, they're going to
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 12: charge a fee or a toll or whatever word you
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 12: want to use. There's no question about that. Iran will
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 12: never go back. But that is a relatively small... They're
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 12: talking like 1% or 2% of the value. So it's
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 12: a doable thing that in comparison to the alternative, which
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 12: is to try to force it militarily, which will fail,
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 12: it's the least offensive way. That's why I keep using
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 12: that term. It's not a good solution, It's just the
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 12: least offensive one that can.
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 3: Work for us. Well, you talk about the MOA, and
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 3: I can't overlook this connection I'm going to make here.
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 3: The Israelis and obligations for the Israelis was included in there,
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 3: although they weren't signatories. Would a pull out of the
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 3: United States and the end of the blockade, would that
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 3: impact Houthi activity and their bombing campaign that's going on
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 3: independent of this, the bombing that's going on against Saudi
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 3: Arabia and others?
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 12: No, and I'll tell you, there's two points to that.
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 12: First of all, the one big challenge that Iran, the
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 12: point number one in that paragraph or that I think
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 12: 14-point paragraph memorandum of understanding was that the war had
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 12: to stop in all fronts, specifically in Lebanon. And if
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 12: we just walk away and we just don't deal with that,
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 12: then that still leaves, will Iran stop having a conflict
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 12: with Israel if Lebanon is still not, if they don't
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 12: exit Lebanon? That's a Big point there that we won't
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 12: know the answer to that. Maybe they can work it,
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 12: maybe they can't. But in terms of the Houthis, big
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 12: issue there, that is almost completely independent of anything in Iran,
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 12: the Strait of Hormuz, or anything else, because the issues
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 12: between Ansar Allah and Saudi Arabia go back more than
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 12: a decade. They go back a long time, and all
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 12: this stuff is between those two. And if everything else
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 12: gets solved, even if there was a miracle and we
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 12: got a signed deal with Saudi Arabia, Israel, the United States,
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 12: and Iran, and that got totally off the board, This
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 12: one is still running because it's on its own terms.
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 3: In all my life, I've been hearing about peace in
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 3: the Middle East. Very complicated, isn't it, Daniel Davis? There
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 3: isn't just an easy solution like kill them all, let
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 3: God sort it out, as many of my listeners would
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 3: like to think could happen. The other component of this,
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 3: I saw that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov visited Tehran,
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 3: and the Iranian foreign minister said that the ties between
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 3: Russia and Tehran were closer than ever. What does that mean?
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 3: I guess that with the background of Donald Trump sort
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 3: of wanting to release sanctions on Russian crude for the
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 3: purpose of trying to lower gas prices. But some people
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 3: think that's a capitulation to Vladimir Putin and obviously doing
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 3: the Ukrainians no good. So any connection with Ukraine and
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 3: Russia on one side and Russia going to Iran on
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 3: the other?
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 12: Yeah, it's all connected, and it's also a recognition of reality.
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 12: I get it that a lot of people don't like it,
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 12: don't want to do it. They hate it, actually, because
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 12: it has the feel that we're abandoning Ukraine, but it
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 12: also acknowledges reality. There is no military solution for our
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 12: side in that war either. In fact, it's a lot
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 12: worse because the balance of power is even way more
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 12: out of line in Russia's favor.
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 3: And this acknowledges the reality.
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 4: Continue to ignore that. Europe is destroying itself.
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 12: Because it won't acknowledge any reality. We could have had
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 12: this war over a half a dozen times over the
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 12: last five years, and Europe especially has rejected that. The
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 12: United States, especially the Biden administration, was just as guilty.
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 12: But now President Trump, over everybody, is finally willing to
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 12: talk to President Putin and is willing to come to
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 12: some kind of an agreement that says, all right, we've
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 12: got to get this war over with because it's harming
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 12: our economy, it's harming the global economy. With all the
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 12: two things in between, you know, the Strait of Hormuz
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 12: and the issue with the Ukraine hitting Russian refineries, it's
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 12: caused a real big problem supply-wise all over the world.
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 12: And President Trump's trying to get that solved in an
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 12: ugly way that there's no good path here.
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 4: I mean, there's no way you.
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 12: Can say this is great, it's what we want. But
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 12: you can make a path that says, hey, we can
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 12: get this off the table, cauterize the wound, and let's
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 12: start moving forward to try to get things settled. That's possible,
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 12: and it looks like President Trump's moving in that direction,
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 12: and I think it's a good play.
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 3: Here's a thought exercise for you, Daniel Davis, for your
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 3: part coming in today. Donald Trump seems to want to
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 3: at least have better, I'll just use the word better,
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 3: relations with Russia. Now, and I watch it, the deteriorating
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 3: reality of what's going on in the European Union and
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 3: our relations with them, not exactly cozy, but there's a
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 3: bunch of reasons for that. But do you see a
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 3: future possible, a little groundwork being laid that maybe we
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 3: could engage Russia and have a peaceful trading relationship with them?
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 3: In other words, try to steer them clear of this
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 3: unholy alliance with them and the Iranians and the North
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 3: Koreans and the Chinese?
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 3: I think it would inure to Russia's best interest if
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 3: we can just sort of put the Cold War mindset
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 3: behind us. Is that even theoretically possible, Daniel?
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 12: It is absolutely possible. And President Trump seems to be
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 12: moving in that direction. And, you know, here, even on
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 12: your show here, I've had some criticism for President Trump
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 12: in a number of directions. But this is one where
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 12: I'm all behind what he's trying to do. Russians are behind.
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 3: It, too. They're saying, yes, we're definitely willing to do that.
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 12: We want to cooperate and engage business with everybody.
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 4: So they're not this.
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 12: Like the Europeans try to characterize Putin as, you know,
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 12: this Hitler that's just, you know, thirsting to conquer territory.
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 12: There's no evidence of that. In fact, there's overwhelming evidence
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 12: against that. And what they do want to say is, yeah,
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 12: let's do business with everybody so we can all benefit
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 12: from this in a period of at least stability. I
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 12: won't go so far as to say peace, but at
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 12: least stability is definitely possible here. And it seems like
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 12: President Trump and Putin are both moving in that direction.
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 3: Well, and Daniel, final comment on this from my standpoint,
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 3: and we can respond. I don't see the European concerns
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 3: as legitimate because Russia has been fighting this war with
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 3: Ukraine over one small chunk of it now for how
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 3: many years? And they haven't accomplished their goal. That's one
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 3: non-NATO affiliated country.
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I will.
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 12: A British general here a couple of days ago is
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 12: again warning his population. Our political leaders are going to
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 12: start telling you why we have to sacrifice to get
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 12: ready for this war with Russia.
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 4: It could be coming by 2030, I think.
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 12: What they have previously said. And I'm like, are you
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 12: kidding me? Russia will never attack Britain. Why are you
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 12: just so focused on war and not even looking at
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 12: how can we get this thing off the table? Europe
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 12: will not even consider any kind of diplomacy. They'll only
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 12: consider more war, which makes it eventually more likely for them.
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 12: And President Trump is just not locked into that.
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 5: Thank goodness.
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 3: Daniel Davis, I really enjoy this exchange of ideas. You
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 3: and I don't have the playbook. We don't know what's written.
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 3: We're just trying to view things from a lens of reality.
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 3: It's not always good news out in the world, is it,
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 3: Daniel Davis? It's not. You've got to play the card
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 3: in the hand you're dealt. Daniel Davis, Deep Dive. Find
