55KRC Tuesday Show - Smitherman, Tom Z, Brietbart, Deep Dive · Brian Thomas

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Not only either. Tally, I am Brian Thomas, hosted the
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: five care See morning. You are quite often confused about
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: the status of the entire world, and yeah, welcome to
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: yet another day. I hope you had a decent Memorial Day.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: It was a wonderful to see the war birds fly over.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: And for those who manted the Gate of Heaven Cemetery,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I was promoting the Gate of Heaven Cemetery Memorial Day
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: event yesterday or leading up to it yesterday, huge turnout,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: So I'm glad folks weren't there. And any other Memorial
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Day festivities not festivities wrong word to use for a
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: solemn occasion like Memorial Day. But you know, services, acknowledgments, prayer, remembrance, reflection,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: that's what it was all about yesterday, and I hope
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: you were able to do that. And again the rumbling
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: of the war birds, you can hear them off at
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the distance, and we've heard many many vintage aircraft fly
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: over our home because well we're kind of close to
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: lunk And Airport at least as the airplane flies. And
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: so from look and Airport over our backyard to Gate
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: of Heaven for the flyover for the Memorial Day event.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Got to see him look like about seven planes, two
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: different fam formations. And salute to the folks that were
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: involved in that and everybody else who was involved in
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: preparing for Memorial Day remembrance. I hope you were able
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: to well attend one or at least pause in a
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: moment to reflect on the and give thanks to those
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: who pay the ultimate sacrifice to our country. Coming up
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: on the fifty five care See Morning show. It's Tuesday,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: but since I wasn't here yesterday, it was the best
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: of program and Christopher Smithman wasn't on that Every Monday
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: at seven twenties when we get the smither vent from
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the former Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati. This morning,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: we'll hear from him at seven five. One of the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: topics these street gangs of roving youth seem to have
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: nothing better to do in parents who don't really care
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: where well don't care, period, end of story. The guardians
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: whoever is responsible for young people that they are out
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: running them up and committing acts of violence and congregating
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: in mass numbers. Thanks to social media, who among my
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: listening audience was able to do something like that when
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: they were young people? I know what my old man
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: would have done said about that. I know what my
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: mom would have said something about that. It never would
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: have happened. And noe. Brian Thomas is not suggesting he
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: was a perfect teenager. But the type of violence these
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: young people are engaged in these days is just absolutely horrific.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: It's got to be a reflection of a more broad
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: societal breakdown, and I certainly believe it actually is. And
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: to that end, if you get an opportunity, Ben Sassuo
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: wrote a good op ed piece, you can find it yourself.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: The indoor childhood is bad for America. Broke down a
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: whole bunch of things. You know, kids are not allowed
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: to leave their own backyard without adult supervision. Okay, Now,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: part of me says, well, that flies in the face
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: of the idea that children are running them up because
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: they're unsupervised young people. The vast majority of our young
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: people are just stuck indoors, staring at a screen. And
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: of course isolationism can create real problems. Isolationism which leads
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: to online social media influence, which leads them well, maybe
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: getting influenced by some really, really bad actors who might
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: then suggest them running in the streets running amuck and
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: committing massive acts of violence. Anyway. Christopher Smithman, I know,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: is going to address that because he told me yesterday
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: was going to Tom Zawastowski. It is Tuesday. We the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: People Convention dot orgs. Tom z Awastowski joined us every
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Tuesday at seven thirty. Today we'll talk more about suspending
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the gas tacts, obviously a band aids solution to a
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: broader problem. Have we negotiated a piece with the Iranians?
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Doesn't really look like it. Rumors of a peace negotiated
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: deal are premature, and the rumors and rumblings about what
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: is in the leaked memorandum of understanding allegedly between the
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: United States and Iranians is kind of all over the place,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: but it doesn't quite close the deal to the extent
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump have been promising. Of course, one of the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: reasons and motivations for him maybe taking less of a
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: deal than he originally demanded is because you and I
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: are feeling the pain of economic problems stemming from the
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: strait of horror moves being shut down, and that is
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: one of the biggest elephants in the room. With the negotiations.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: What of the future of the Strait of Horror moves,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: the Iranians still demanding some measure of control over it
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: after the the hostilities end or some negotiated peace deals reached.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Many people are saying this as echoes of twenty fifteen
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and the Barack Obama deal that really wasn't a deal.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: So lots and lots of question marks swirling around that
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: right now, And of course allows me to jump forward
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: to eight thirty because every Thursday or Tuesday at eight
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: thirty we hear from Daniel Davis, retired Lieutenant colonel with
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the Deep Dive, and he has, without being anti patriotic,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: just been a voice of reason in this discussion. And
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: you know, early on it's like he doesn't have any
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: confidence in our ability. That's like not really not it.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: The problem is for us right now with the Iranians,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: what they have remaining in so far as missiles and
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: drones and their capabilities of going after the Arab neighbors.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: It's right, the Saudi Arabians are really really worried in
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: spite of the fact that they along with Israel or
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: we're egging the United States on to engage in this
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: military action against the Iranians because everybody in the world
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: hates the Iranians. What's likable about them? Well, the Saudi
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Arabias rely on desalinations plants, yeah, convert in seawater into
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: drinking water. And guess which plants are extremely vulnerable to
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: rockets launched from Iran and ran who does not care
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: apparently about the pain and misery and agony the enclosure
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: of its porches brought down upon them, not a whit
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: religious ideology, Trump's common sense, logic and reason and the
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: pain of your people. So the Iranians have this over this,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: this threat looming over the Gulf nations. And again I'm
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: going back to Daniel Davis. He kept pointing that out
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: from early on in this conflict. You know, there are
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: so many hidden rockets and bunkers over there, so many
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: drone manufacturing facilities. The country is two point four times
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the size of Texas and has a population bigger than
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Iraq and Afghanistan combined. Uh huh. So the complicating factor
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: is right now, the threats to the Middle Eastern neighbors
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: in the region terrible, huge threats. Yes, you can talk
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: about international law all day long, and the fact that
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: bombing civilian water resource targets is an absolute, outright violation
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: of international law and against every logical, reasonable, ethical and
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: moral consideration. Do you think the Iranian Mullas and the
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: folks that are of this religious ideological bent give a
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: crap about international law or the Saudis and their water supply?
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Of course, not not a bit. So we'll hear from
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Daniel Davis eight thirty, preceeded by the Inside Scoop Bright
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Bart News White House correspondent Nick Gilbertson also with the
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: latest on Iran. We'll get his take in advance of
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Daniel Davis. So there's your lineup this morning, and we'll
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: tail end the fifty five Caisy Morning Show with cover
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: since he my friend John Roman and the awesome reality
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: of getting better medical insurance for less money. Yes, I
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: know it's a commercial now, but it's great, so many
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: of listeners are happy. I just referred one of my
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: best friends at John Roman the other day said you
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: got to give them McCall. So there you have it.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I love hearing from you. Five one, three, seven, four nine,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three talk
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: pound five point fifty on your AT and T Pung.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Please feel free to give me a call. Oh and
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I'm sure another thing we'll be talking about with Christopher Smithman.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: If he doesn't want to talk about it, I'm gonna
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: bring it up. Christopher heads up, afteb Parvoll. So we
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: got a budget to talk about. The Cincinni budget proposal.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: It's going to be lean according to the city manager,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: show along the leanest year yet. But according to Provoll
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and Long, they still want to fund the Farmer Music Center. Hmm,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: this is just insane. I love this. Scott Wartman, Good morning,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Scott from the Cincinnaia Crier, reporting of the budget review.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah. I'm the Farmer Music Center. Still,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: in spite of the facts and the challenges, we have
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: a thirty or a twenty nine and a half million
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: dollar deficit, cuts here, cuts there. Still the mayor and
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the city manager found money for the new Farmer Music Center. No,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: you think they checked for change in the couch, Joe.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I'm just trying to wonder where they found the money.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: So the budget proposal, they have two different figures in
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: for the Farmer Music Center and the laughing point among
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: all this, So the city manager says, we need to
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: give six point five million dollars the Farmer Music Center
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Maftab Pervoll says, no, No, it's two million dollars. That's
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: what I want to do. But that's contingent on a
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: guarantee that we get tax revenue from the music revenue
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: or music venue it is. And will remember, this is
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: a proposed budget. City Council's got to approve it. The
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Farmer Music Center is going to be built. It is
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: being built, whether or not the city gives it any money.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: It's going. It's coming in any return on investment from
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the foot traffic and ticket sales. Obviously, if it takes
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: place in the City of Cincinnati, part of it is
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: that's going to go to the city coffers. I just
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: don't understand. Oh and there's also maybe one of the
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: reasons they want to get their foot in or their
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: hand in the cookie jar on this one by canning
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: some money in. There's apparently developable, developable land right next
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: to the music venue that the city has aspirations to buy. Hmm. Anyhow,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: but the point I wanted to get through real quick
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: here that I'm sure we're going to talk about with
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Christopher Smithman. They can dive on into more details as
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: we come back from the break. Cinconni Mayor joins global
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: pack to fight nationalist populism. City of Cincinnati involved in
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: a global effort joining the Pact of Free Cities. Hang on,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what this is. And then, like many
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: things Christopher has pointed out, over the years, why in
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: God's name, with all of the problems that the City
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: of Cincinnati is facing, most notably in this current budget discussions,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: the twenty nine point five million dollar hole we find
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: ourselves in, the massive crime problem. Thank you Joe Strekker
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: forgiving me update on that this morning two o'clock this morning,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: headlines four shot in Cincinnati. So we got a big
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: crime problem, we got a budget problem, we got a
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: crumbling infrastructure problem. Why in God's name are we going
• 10:11

• 10:43
  Speaker 1: out of school joe'strecker. Does that mean we're gonna have
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: more unruly youth? And yes, you and I changed at
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: the same time, teeing my headsets and me coming out
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: of my outlide of my mouth on the radio. Yes,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: more violence in the streets by unruly youth who apparently
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: don't have any guidance supervision at home. Sad absolutely, And
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: can you throw enough government dollars at that problem to
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: make it go away? How do you unring the bell
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: of children having zero guidance at home? Is that something
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: government can fix? Just asking for friends? Anyway, I'll see
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: what Carl's got before we dive on into the well
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: more foreshot in CINCINNETI two o'clock this morning, and Mayor
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I have to have Parlvoll going on a global political escapade, Carl,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: thanks for calling this morning. Welcome to the fifty five
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Carcy Morning Show.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Brian. I have breaking news out of Columbus, Ohio.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: The grassroots Republicans are fighting with the House Republicans. The
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: latest squabble, the latest or House. Yeah, yeah, the latest
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: squabble is over the House Joint Resolution nine HJR.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: Nine.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: HJR.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Nine is the resolution that would allow voters to vote
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: on whether or not voters will be required to show
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: identification when voting.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: It's a constitutional amendment, right, Carl, Right? So what we
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: have real quick here, let me reframe it because we
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: did talk about this last week. Currently in Ohio you
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: must have a photo ID. But that's a piece of legislation,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: legislation that could be overturned in under some other future
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: administration for reasons unknown to me. But if you put
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: it into the constitution, then a subsequent administration can't change
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: the law. You'd have to have a ballot amendment to
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: change the constitution to open it up to voting without
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: an ID. So I think that's it, girl, Right, Why
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: are they fighting?
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Well, here's the story. It is currently in the Ohio
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: House General Governance Committee, and the committee will be hearing
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: testimony tomorrow Wednesday, May twenty seventh, twenty twenty six, at
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: ten am. And the committee is chaired by Representative Sharon A.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Ray.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: If someone wishes to submit a testimony either written or
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: in person testimony proponent, opponent, interested party. They need to
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: send it upload it to the committee in PDF form
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: by ten o'clock this morning. Now here's where the dissension occurs.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: You're just asking the question.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the grassroots Republicans such as Kim Georgetown, who ran
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: as lieutenant governor with Casey Push and Marcel Steerbisch who
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: ran a Secretary of State or chose to House Joint
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Resolution nine, and they are urging to They are urging
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: people to show up and give testimony as an opponent
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: to House Joint Resolution nine. House Joint Resolution nine is
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: a three page bill, and Kim Georgetown states that House
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Ohio House Bill five seven seven, or the Federal Save Act,
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Save American Act would be.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: A better choice.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that hasn't been voted. I mean, we have
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: no hope right now Save Act even going through. So
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: it seems to me to be a non issue unless
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: it went through, in which case you could say, well,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: we already have the Save Acts. You have to have
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: a photo ID for federal elections anyway.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Right, it hasn't gone through right now. Ohio House Bill
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: is a seventy one page bill that I scrolled through
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: yesterday and it does require photo ID when voting absentee,
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: and that has not gone through that committee yet. That
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: bill was introduced in November of last year and it
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: has gone nowhere.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Let's see. But other than the Save Act making this
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: a moot point, which it isn't because we haven't gone
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: on to Save Act, what's the opposition from it already?
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Is the state of the law on Ohio. If you
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: added to the constitution, you secure that a photo idea
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: is going to be mandated on into the future. What's objectionable?
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: But could that conceptually?
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't see any objection. I mean, I agree
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: with what you say.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: The Republicans are fighting amongst themselves in Ohio again for
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: reasons unknown, right, Okay, welcome to the status quo in Ohio.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: So go ahead.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Now, this is the House Joint resolution and Governor
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: Downe will not have to sign it, but both houses
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: have to pass this by sixty percent. That is, the
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Senate has to pass it, which would mean about twenty
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: senators and the House would need about sixty representatives to
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: get this passed.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: And if Republicans remain unified in this effort, then that
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: would be no problem because they have that many votes
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Republican versus Democrat. But this is the state of Ohio, right, Carl. Yes,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I hate to laugh about it, but you know, I mean,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I've been already every twenty years in December and we've
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: been talking about the dysfunction and Republican Party of the
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: state of Ohio, I think for that long. So it's
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: it's sad. Quite often I don't understand it. They just
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: play along nicely together. We get a lot more accomplished
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: here in the state of Ohio. I'm in favor of
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: the whole idea. If they want to put a constitutional
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: moment to mandate photo idea in the state of Ohio.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: It does reflect the current state of the law. We've
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: all been able to live with it now for a while.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Aokay with me, Carl. Thanks for the heads up man.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Thanks for the high comedy too in the reminder that yes,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: we can be very dysfunctional even when you have an
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: all red state. So more to talk about coming up.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: We didn't get to the uh, well, the shooting and
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: how that relates to the budget, which is not going
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: to eliminate some of the funding for the police. The
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: city budget actually increases it. I view that as a
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: bright light of glammer of hope. But what's with the
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: global pact of free cities that maybe we get to
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: in the local stories. Alternatively, phone calls are welcome here

  Speaker 1: and the final victim refused medical treatment. A wild wild
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: West in the City of Cincinnati. So ins far as
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: the budget's concerned, we're just hang on, Tom. We've got
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: more money going to the police department, they say, a
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: fifteen point two percent increase to the police budget, which
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: is going to allow for two fifty member police recruit
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: class that comes in at a cost of one point
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: eight million dollars. One will graduate November of this year,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: the second February of next year. More police drones one
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: point six million dollars. The city manager recommended for drones
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: to expand police capacity, allow for more efficient deployment of
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: uniformed officers, and per of all, for his part, had
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: an adjustment recommended an additional half a million dollars for
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: quote physical public safety improvements on Fountain Square close quote
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Scott Warton from the enquir reporting that Purvol didn't specify
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: what those would be. Sounds pretty though, doesn't it, of Joe.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: You think it's a fence, so is it going to
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: be Purvol's wall? But More importantly, gee, thank god for
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: aft pervol He joined the group of mayors from around
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: the world dedicated to fighting the spread of quote nationalist populism.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: His office confirmed he joined the Pact of Free Cities.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: That's a thing again. Props to scart Warman. I never
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: heard of it. Twenty nineteen creation of the Pack for
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Free Cities, formed by the mayors of European capitals Bladis Lava, Budapest,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Prague and Warsaw ah right. The organization self described global
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: network of mayors determined to stand up for progressive values
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: and fight against nationalistic popularism. Hmmm, nationalistic populism. That would
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: be what a labeled xenophobe. You are an evil person
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: if you have pride in your country in spite of
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: maybe your country having some wards but always striving to
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: do better each and every year. You are not allowed
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: to take pride and we need a progressive value. We
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: need to fight against your loving your country. That's how
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: I read it, anyway, my take on it. Pro of
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Ball said he joined in May to learn how to
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: fight against quote democratic backsliding. Please call me if you
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: can make sense of this and how to serve residents quote.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: While navigating challenges from other levels of government. That does
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: not make it all right. Uh huh, pro of all
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: said in the statement during the first Trump administration, Oh,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: there's the T word. Of course, you've got to have
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: it out in there. During the first Trumpe administration when
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: he backed out of the Paris Climate Accords, it was
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: US mayor's working domestically and internationally to maintain our commitments
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: to combat and climate combat and climate change. Oh, that's
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: how we got the windmill or the solar farm. That's
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: how a budget of two twenty nine point five million
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: dollars in the hole prior budgets found. There's that word again,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: found money to fund a solar array, that solar array
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: number two. Oh, Michael, I agree with you completely. But
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: then and the end that comes as no surprise. So
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Paris Climate Accords that really worked out well, didn't it.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Why don't you take a look at European economy in
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Germany most notably they are they committed suicide a while back,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: and well they endeavored to and the bleeding from their
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: self inflicted wound is just fully coming to rooster. Chickens
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: are coming home to roost from that. Yeah, they're falling
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: apart thanks to trying to eliminate carbon I'm so glad
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: we're part of this effort to well stand up for
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: progressive values. Since these Cincinnati can't affect carbon dioxide output globally,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: that was a wasted gesture. A lot of money went
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: that direction when it could have gone, oh, I don't know,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: maybe to fund more police or even some sort of
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know, community activism program. We need more NGOs
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: in the city of Cincinnati. Those are not being fun
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: to because we chased our carbon neutral tail.
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: Hm.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Anyhow, Tom, Welcome to the Morning Show. Happy Tuesday to you, sir.
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: Good morning. You're on a tear this morning.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: It's all building up over the past three days. Tom Right.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: I hope it's making I hope it's making sense. Man.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I am just it's a flood of news and like
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: it always is, but just feel a little bit angry
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: about it this morning. Guys.
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: Well, a lot of topics you got you've already introduced
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: this morning. I'm gonna try to limit a couple. First
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: of all, the thing with the kids, the kids running
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: around and create and havoc. U don't know if people
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: are aware of this. It seems kind of common sense
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: to me. Children have a lot of energy. This is shocking, right,
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: I mean when I wake up in the morning, I'm
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: almost sixty, you know how this feels. When I wake
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: up in the morning, I do not have the amount
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: of energy that my two year old granddaughter has when
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: she's being put down for bed. Okay, it's just it's
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: not there. But when you're young, you have all this
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: ten up energy. You gotta do something with it. So
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: it's incumbent upon parents to figure out how to get
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: their kids to expend this energy and use it in
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: a good way. You know, go out play, you know,
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: let's have fun, Let's do this, let's climb around something
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: to use that. You do not do that. Kids are
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: going to figure out a way to use their energy.
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: They're gonna lash out energy. You's got to go somewhere.
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: It's just it's it's simple physics. And no, we don't
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: need government to do that. We need parents to do that.
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: Mom and dad need to do their job. Pay attention
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: to your children and figure out what works for your
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: kids instead of letting everybody else raise your kids. So
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: there's topic one top to this. This group of free cities. Well,
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: that's laughable. If you live in an if if you
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: live in a city that is controlled by democrats, you
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: are not living in a free city. That is a
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: flat out lie. They want to control everything that you do,
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: and the only thing they want to let you have
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: a choice to do is kill babies. That's how democrats work.
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: They lie to you and tell you all this crap
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: about oh, we're progressive and we want you to have
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: the freedom to do this, do that. No, no, they don't.
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: They want you to do exactly what they tell you
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: to do, or they're going to ruin your reputation. They're
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: going to come after you with whatever they need to
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: come after you to get you to comply. So it's
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: a it's a bunch of lies, a bunch of crap,
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: And you know what, don't vote democrats. Have a great day, brother.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Thanks Tom, have a great day yourself. Two to three
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: talk pound five fifty and found. Yes, do have stack
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: is tupid coming your way If you don't mind holding
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: for a minute, we'll be right there. This is fifty
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: five ARC and by forty five forty one fifty five
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: KRC dedalk station. Yeah. Further to Tom's point, I alluded
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: to it earlier, just saying, hey, find the article. It's
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Ben Sas, former Senator sas the indoor childhood is bad
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: for America. Get a load of this. These stats are
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: just frightening. If you the Institute for Family Studies, it's
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: a place they did a new survey. Sixty percent of
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: six year olds have access to internet connected tablets. Fifty
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: eight percent of six year olds are not allowed to
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: play in their own backyards unsupervised. At eleven one in
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: four kids are not allowed outside without adult supervision. More
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: than half of fourteen year olds don't have permission to
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: leave their streets. Two thirds of seventeen year olds can't
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: leave their neighborhoods without adult supervision. Well, you know that's
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: the case. I guess the one third that Christopher Smithman
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: is going to lament about when he comes on at
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: seven oh five for the smith event of the run
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: amuck teenagers who are taking over streets and engaging in
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: criminal activity. So two thirds of seventeen year olds can't
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: leave their name hoods without adult supervision. I suppose we
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: can say terrible in one respect, but at least that
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: suggests those have parents that really are concerned about what's
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: going on in the world. So the problem with SaaS
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: points out kids need to get outside, get away from
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: the internet, and start experiencing life and yes, all the
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: harm that can come from it because common along the
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: lines of you know, stitches don't always mean a bad result.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: You learn something from that, now, don't you over to
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: the stack? Oh stupid, I gotta start up with this one.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Joe Strecker. Let's see if I can navigate
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: the SEC compliance obligation on this one. The article starts
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: out and crop props with the smoking gun, which always
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: has comical reporting. So we begin with the article with
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: just a basic bit of information. How big is a
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: standard wine bottle? Some of my listening audience already know
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: where this is going. Three inches diameter, net's based just
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: twelve inches tall, seven hundred and fifty milli meters typical
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: volume nick about two and a half pounds. That being
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: said in an information up front. While being processed into jail,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: a Michigan woman was found to have concealed a stolen
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: quote unopened bottle of Cupcake Vineyards Pinogresia wine inside her.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: I'll stop the quote there, close quote and interject hoo ha,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: yes you know what I'm talking about. Investigators charged a
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: woman with attempting to smuggle contraband into a penal institution.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Please support Satan Mega Money. Matiani, forty eight years old
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: arrested for trespass at a CBS pharmacy in Grand Travers, Michigan.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Grand Travers, Yes, Michigan. Anyway, she had previously
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: been barred from the store, showed up at the business
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: May ninth, allegedly stole the wine, which it says she
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: consumed in the stores bathroom. After being hospitalized due to
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: her high intoxication, meg Jihani was discharged for the local
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: medical center and immediately returned to the CVS The next day,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Please call to the store arrested her at the checkout
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: counter for trespass on property. Again at the time, arresting
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: officer unaware that Michiani stole another bottle of cupcake Pino
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Grecio and hid the bottle on her person. That's in
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: the world, I suppose in her person would be a
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: better accurate description. Metchiani coding the COBS handcuff check for
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: weapons putting a squad car. That process was not smooth.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Courting the rest report. During this time Michiani advised that
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: she was not able to get into the vehicle. After
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: some convincing, she was able to slowly maneuver herself into
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: the backseat. She was subsequently being booked into the county
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: jail Female Corrections of A deputy conducted a final check
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: of Menchiani's person court to the Travel City Police Department
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: report that examination. During that examination, it was learned that
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: she had concealed a bottle of cupcake Vineyards Pino Grisio.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Here we go accurately inside her person complied with the
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: deputy's order to uncork the wine. Screw top container was
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: removed and was still intact courding. The police evidence was
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: destroyed due to biohezard concerns, suggesting maybe she should see
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: a doctor and get rid of it. I don't know.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Charged with prison contraband felony, misdemeanor trespass count held in
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: lieu of a six thousand dollars bond. Also facing a
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: probation charge related to her conviction last year for retail
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: for aud wraps. She includes prior felony convictions for unarmed
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: robbery and credit card theft. You say something about the
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: wind blowing through any way, I'll leave that go five
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: forty five right now, fifty five KRC You're right back
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: fifty five KARC dot com.
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: I'm the chief executive Officer.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: RCD Talk Station and a very happy Tuesday. Try to
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: make it so anyway? Five three seven fifty two three talks,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: play stupid games and win stupid prizes. Back to the
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: stack of stupid Christian or Christian rather trend.
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: He's a guy.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: He recovered from Burkett lymphoma, which is described as in
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: an aggressive form of blood cancer. And what did he
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: do well? He's a wellness coach, forty year old I
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: guess self described owner of a plant based energy during company,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: regularly sharing health tips on social media. His account Christian
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: the feel Good Guy. He became interested in alternative medicines.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: He traveled throughout Asia and took part in a cambo
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: kambo cleansing ceremony last month in the United Kingdom. Pause
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: on that one. It didn't go well. The truthoint well,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: maybe not, but this one's a bad IDEA traditional Amazon
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: ritual practiced by indigenous tribes and uses cambo, described as
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: a waxy substance secreted by a species of giant leaf
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: frog in South America. The substance is toxic. The frogs
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: use it to deter predators. Ceremony participants drink a leader
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: of water, then creates this isn't anyhow, then creates small
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: burns on their skin with a burning stick and apply
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: the poisonous substance to the open wounds. Form ends. These
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: wounds typically on the arms or chest. Women typically put
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: them on their legs. Here we go. The resulting vomiting
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: and diarrhea are intended to act as a detox. Yeah,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: a red flag to me. Practitioners say they cleanse enhances
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: physical endurance, sharpens mental clarity, and boost overall health. Mister
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Trend's mom speaking with the Telegraph newspaper, he was going
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: to cleanse himself, That's what he said to me. He
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: was very spiritual. He took a lot of vitamins. Notice
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: the past tense reference to her son. Right, No doubt. Apparently,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: no evidence support the claims that combo has any health benefits.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: It's been linked to serious health issues, including seizures, liver failures,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: heart attacks, and even death. Maybe the vomiting and diarrhea
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: is your body's raving a red flag saying this is
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: a bad idea. Frog talks and acts as a strong
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: psychedelic similar to who aya huasca. Anyway, it's probably like
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: toad frog venom regardless. Harmful effects confusion, memory loss, lethargy,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: and psychosis. Also, physical effects can include seizure, liver failure,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: heart attacks, and sometimes sudden cardiac death, which is where
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Christian Trend found himself.
• 31:38
  Speaker 7: Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Right body has a way of warning you about some
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: things like that, don't they. Just because you read about
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: it on the internet doesn't make it a good idea.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: We go to France. This is your future, folks, cracking
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: down on literally anything, including something that might keep you
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: from smoking cigarettes. The France Health Ministry has and nicotine products,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: a whole bunch of them, including Zen pouches. If you
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: member with those Zen pouches, they're just little bags, so
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: basically a nicotine delivery system so you don't have the
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: burning of tobacco in order to get the nicotine out
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: of it. Anyway, some people like them, very popular product
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: they are. The prohibition of these Zen products extends to use, acquisition, possession,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: and sale of oral nicotine products including gum lozenges are
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: you ready. Those violating the law could be penalized by
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: up to five years and prison and a four hundred
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: and thirty six thousand, six hundred dollars fine. It's funny
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: because I did not know this, and I'll give the
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: New York Post credit for reporting on it. Apparently, the
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: zen pouches were invented in Sweden, very popular throughout the
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Europe as well as the United States. Court to the
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: National Youth Tobacco Survey, nicotine pouches the second most frequently
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: used to battle tobac go product in twenty twenty four
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: among American miners, eat cigarettes do eclipse these zen pouches. Now,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: I'm not in favor of children, you know, getting hooked
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: on nicotine. It is an addictive substance, so apparently it
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: does not have any downside health implications. But you know,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: there are age limitations on acquiring them, much in the
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: same way there are age limitations on alcohol. Anybody in
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: their teens ever acquire alcohol in spite of the fact
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: that you weren't old enough to acquire alcohol, right, And
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: didn't we try here in the United States anyway to
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: ban alcohol through a constitutional amendment that prohibition? Yeah, remember
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: that I remember how well that went. Yeah, people kept
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: getting it in spite of the fact that it was illegal. Huhm.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Kind of like so many other things they try to ban.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: You get to go to jail for five years and
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: have to pay a four hundred and fifty roughly thousand
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: dollars fine because you have a nicotine pouch. It's nice.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Just what are you in for? Do you think they
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: treat zen pouch purveyors or peddlers the same way they
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: treat pedophiles in prison? Joe, Now, that's not the same
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: level of fense, is it? Not even remotely? I hope
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: they keep room in the jail for the pedophiles to
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: the extent there's any limited space in France's criminal justice system.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing as progressive as France is going to let
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: the pedophiles out and they'll put the zen violators in
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: those well limited prison spaces. Five fifty five fifty five
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: carsy DE talk Station plenty coming up with the six
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: o'clock out the talk station. It's excessive chair at fifty
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: five garc DE talk station. Happy Tuesday, appreciate the three
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: day weekend and God bless those who pay the ultimate
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: sacrifice in their country yesterday Memorial Day, of course, and
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: again props to a gate of Heaven. I know I
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: did commercials for him for the event they did yesterday,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: but apparently a wildly packed event, which is great to
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: know and was beautiful seeing the warbirds fly over. I
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: had prior commitments, but got to see the warbirds fly
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: over in my backyard. Cool. That was. I love hearing
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: from you, if you feel free to give you a
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: call FI with three seven four nine fifty five hundred
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: eight hundred eight two three talk. My name is Brian
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Thomas hosted the fifty five Caresey Morning Show and coming
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: up one hour Christopher Smith. Aman. We always hear from
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Christopher smithment on a Monday. Wasn't here yesterday, of course?
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: No Smith event at seven twenty the typical times. Today
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: we get him at seven oh five, and I know
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: he wants to talk about the out of control youth
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: running just taking over neighborhoods, this street blockades, you know,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: just going crazy, committing criminal acts. Where are the parents?
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: At two o'clock in the morning, you have some kids
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: running around downtown Cincinnati. Where are the parents? It's a
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: great question. I just don't understand it. Honestly, if you
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: have kids, don't you care about them? That really is
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: kind of the elephant of the room. And isn't it
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: did you make a choice to have children? I mean,
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: if it was an accident and maybe one thing, But
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: does that give you the ability and the right morally
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: and ethically to just turn your back on the obligation
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: parents have. Children are born without any information. You're supposed
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: to be the primary, you know, giver of information, the educator,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: the nurturer, the person who shows what love and compassion
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: can mean or does mean. Indeed, and anybody who has
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: children doesn't didn't this come naturally to you, whether or
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: not you had one accidentally or not. It's like, oh
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: my god, that baby's so beautiful. We created that. It's
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: just a miracle of life. I am going to protect
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: that child with my life. Wernhill is your son at
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: two o'clock in the morning. I don't care interesting in
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: where someone turns to that perception of parenting, or even
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: they had a perception of parenting that even is even
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: close to what I suggested it sort of naturally should be. Anyway,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: feel free to call if I went three seven four
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: nine fifty five hundred eight hundred eighty two three talk
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: ten five fifty on AT and T phones. Of course,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: we had four more people shot this morning downtown since
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: say two o'clock. And is this in our future? Speaking
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: of fast forward into one hour from now with Christopher Smithman,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: residents in a North Seattle neighborhood have begun building homemade
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: barricades across their own residential streets, apparently after repeated shootings
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: and ongoing crime concerns left everyone, I guess in these
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: neighborhoods feeling for their safety. The authorities aren't there when
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: seconds count, minutes if not longer, are are going to
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: pass by before the police actually show up. They are
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: living under the constant threat of violence, so they're building barricades,
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: blocking their own roads with piles of dirt, concrete, gravel,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: metal barriers in an attempt to reduce vehicle traffic. Now,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: a lot of this they blame on prostitution. But regardless
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: of what criminal activity is bringing about this obviously desperate measure.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Just wonder if this is like a canary in the
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: coal mine warning sign. Guess what's coming to your neighborhood
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: if you go down the Seattle woke leftist anti police mentality,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: You're going to have a massive problem on your hands.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: And even if that city that you find yourself living
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: in previously woke, formerly defund police decides that, well, we
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: know that's a bad idea. There still aren't enough of
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: them around to deal with the situation and an ever growing,
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: ever increasing violent crime situation now being performed by a
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: bunch of young people. You didn't needs to have to
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: worry about him too much, did you. Welcome to the
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: new world that we live in, a lot of wh's
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: driven by artificial intelligence. Anyway, Chrisopher's going to be talking
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: about these violence in the streets. Tom's Awastowski. We the
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: people submit convention about suspending the gas totch guess tax
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: seven point thirty with Tom fast forward to eight oh five,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: we get the latest on Iran from bright bart News
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: White House correspondent Nick Gilbertson with the Inside Scoop and
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: then the Daniel Davis Deep Dive with the latest on
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Iran as well, So we got I don't know, I
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: think obviously Internet itch issues are a problem. If your
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: kids are sitting in front of a room and an
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: echo chamber, they might be influenced who maybe go out
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: and commit acts of violence. How do you end up
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: with four hundred young people in the streets at one
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: moment in time. Welcome to the world that we live in,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: stating the obvious, man's blaming Thomas the Internet boom instant,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: show up here right away. We're going to have some fun.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: There's a problem, and of course of Pope Leo Brandon Johnson,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: Chicago mayor hanging out with Pope Leo. You heard that
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: top of the Art news. He issued a dire warning
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: about AI, and I think it's some legitimate points. But
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: then again, the solution is sort of this magical rainbow
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: unicorn pigs fly kind of concept to solve the problem.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: I appreciate what he would like to do. The devil's
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: in the details. So he issued a dire warning about AI.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: This in the his statement he issued technology and he said,
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: threatens to normalize an anti human vision, so it cannot
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: remain in the control of in his words, a few actors.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: What is needed is a more active political involvement that
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: is capable of slowing things down when everything is accelerating.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Pope called for in his words, robust legal frameworks, independent oversight,
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: informed users, and a political system that does not advocate
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: its responsibility. Shall we run through those And maybe you're
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: chuckling already, like, oh, I live for the day when
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: we had those kind of things in any given subject matter.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: But do we ever get that from our elected officials?
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: So AI moving too fast, it is ruining humanity. Let's
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: take him at his word on that. I won't argue
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: with the Pope on that one. More active political involvement.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: Political involvement not just don't don't end there, political involvement
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: that is capable of slowing things down. Now, maybe they
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: could be able to. Maybe they could do that if
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: the collective will was to stop AI in its tracks.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: I'm sure like people banning artificial intelligence facility is being
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: built in their neighborhoods, they could probably stop it if
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: politicians wanted to question is more practically speaking, should you
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: given the globe as moving that direction anyway? But let's
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: move on with his recommendations. Robust legal frameworks presumably coming
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: about from laws passed by politicians. We'll deal with that
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: in a moment. Independent oversight. Well, part of his concern
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: with all this is the technology remains in the hands
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: of a hand selected or well self designated a point
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: by a few people who are involved in building the
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: technology in the first place. You know, the Bill Gates
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: type people in the world. So independent oversight ask where
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: that would come from. Who is going to be selected
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: from the world full of billions of people to independently oversee?
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: What does independent mean when it comes to artificial intelligence?
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: See multiple layers of multiple complications on that. Informed users.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: That is a statement addressed to you in addition to
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: legal framework, independent oversite informed users, and I thought and
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: laughed at the current state of education. Don't even teach
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: critical thinking anymore in our public schools. How can you
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: have informed users dealing with an emerging technology, an emerging
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: technology that is built by people behind the scenes that
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: crunch the numbers and crunch the data and provide you
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: with answers to questions. So informed users, that's a hurdle.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: And a political system that does not abdicate its responsibility,
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: all right, going back to the active political involvement, Well,
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: we have a problem with that little component as well. Now,
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: if our politicians or global leaders are being asked to
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: put the brakes on artificial intelligence, and they have the
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: political will to get involved politically, that would mean passing legislation, right,
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: what elected officials have a full grasp of the technology
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: to even start with. They don't. And I make this
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: criticism all the time. We think just because someone is
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: elected to be a Senator or a congress person, you
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: know that they know everything about what they're legislating over. No,
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: in most cases they are out of their element on
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: the subject matter over which they've been asked to legislate,
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: meaning they turned to the experts. The experts obviously the
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: people who are responsible for this information in the first place.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: So it's like the end up putting the wolves in
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: charge of the henhouse. Huh, I elected official, don't know
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: Jack squad about this technology? How am I going to
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: put the brakes on it without completely stifling it, but
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: to provide the protections that Pope Leo is looking for.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: Hmm Here, let me turn over to oh, I don't
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: know Chris Ola. Maybe Chris Ola, the co founder of
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: the AI company Anthropic, who was right there with Pope
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: Leo and making this announcement. Echoing the Pope's call for
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: greater accountability, Olah said decisions, in his words, should not
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: be left to people in the industry, meaning himself. But
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: instead required a collective resolution, which again I go back to, well,
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: what is the collective comprised of more herumphers? Is that
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: a political Is it politicians from around the globe joining
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: in hands? Like? Oh, maybe the UN? How successful has
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: the UN been resolving the globe's problem? There? They all
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: are right there, there's your collective. Can you think they
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: could come up with a resolution to deal with the
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: broader problems and the threats that artificial intelligence may or
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: may not pose? Hm? Hm. They also had three key principles,
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: this chris Ola guy, including, in his words again duty
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: to the global poor, moral imagination and ambition, and the
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: need for discernment. Now we kind of stew over what
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: these college degree words are supposed to mean, like when
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: push comes to shows, what do you mean by discernment
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: in this particular context? But I'll move away from that.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: It is his chris OLA's subjective perception of what these
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: moral goals should be. You may differ with that. You
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: may think artificial intelligence should be simply a tool for
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: which we can come up with answers to questions without
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: any sort of principles attacked to them. How is it
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: you came up with that answer AI, I mean you
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: factored into the answer you provided to me the global
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: poor in framing your response. Huh. Well, that's who builds
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: the AI systems. They have objectives and they have goals,
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: and they build those goals into whatever they are putting,
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: whatever artificial intelligence model they're using. That is bias built
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: into the system. Oh but those are noble goals, noble
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: based upon whose moral barometer? I would ask? He also said,
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: every frontier AI lab, including anthropic his company, operates inside
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: a set of incentives and constraints that can sometimes conflict
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: with doing the right thing close quote. Once again, what
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: is the right thing in any given circumstance and by
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: whose moral guidepost is quote the right thing close quote
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: going to be determined? Ask the Iranians what they think
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: the right thing is. Huh. They may be a little
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: miffed at what your AI model churns out and ask
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: Pope Leo what the moral rights should be. Don't you
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: think his position would spring from one of Christianity the
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: Christian message, of course, but then one of those in
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: the Muslim community, the Buddhist community, the Hindu community, and
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: every other religious community that exists in the world. They
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: may find a different set of moral parameters that they
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: think should guide artificial intelligence. I'm not signed on any
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: one of these. I'm just pointing out how blank and
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: complicated all this is. Yeah, you can throw words out
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: and express concerns, but when your solution to the problem
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: is this swirling mystery of words salad with no specific,
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: specific targets and how it's going to be accomplished, it
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: is what it is. You've issued a warning. Reasonable it
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: may be, but what I see is an impossible set
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: of parameters to find a solution to the perceived problem.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: Joyce is on the phone, Joyce, hang on, I have
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: him take a break here at six eighteen right now
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: for you. I've cares was kind enough to hold over
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: the break. Joyce, thanks for calling this morning. I hope
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: you're having a happy Tuesday.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: Welcome well.
• 47:19
  Speaker 8: Thank you. Brian, I hope you are as well.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 47:22
  Speaker 8: I just wanted to comment on the violence done Cincinnati
• 47:26
  Speaker 8: and just really quickly.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 47:27
  Speaker 8: I grew up in Lebanon and I went to UC
• 47:30
  Speaker 8: for a year before I realized I was too stupid
• 47:33
  Speaker 8: to stay in college. I listed in the service. I
• 47:35
  Speaker 8: was in the Air Force.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, come here, and I wasn't ready to buckle.
• 47:42
  Speaker 8: Down and study that.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: I get Okay, Fardie, it's not that you're too stupid,
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: you just were ready. Okay, Joyce, I said, want to
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: hear that, because I guarantee you're smart enough. I went
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: through two degrees at the University of Cincinnati. I know
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: you're smart enough to handle the work. Go ahead.
• 47:55
  Speaker 8: Well, I did finish undergrad later in life.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: But okay, that's as in its discipline right.
• 48:02
  Speaker 8: As it is side. So, but when I was a kid,
• 48:06
  Speaker 8: going to a Reds game was like the biggest treat
• 48:09
  Speaker 8: we Oh. I just loved going. I mean, I remember
• 48:12
  Speaker 8: the big Red machine and I grew up there. Because
• 48:15
  Speaker 8: you and I are of an age, I graduated from
• 48:17
  Speaker 8: high school in eighty eighty three. But my point was this,
• 48:21
  Speaker 8: So I just had my birthday and my husband suggested
• 48:26
  Speaker 8: that we go to a Reds game, which was on
• 48:28
  Speaker 8: my birthday, and it happened the follow the evening, but
• 48:30
  Speaker 8: we both discussed and said no, we didn't feel safe
• 48:33
  Speaker 8: going down town at night anymore. So I didn't we
• 48:38
  Speaker 8: didn't go. Say it was all about it is so
• 48:42
  Speaker 8: sad because I love Cincinnati, one of the most beautiful
• 48:46
  Speaker 8: cities in the country in my opinion, And but we
• 48:51
  Speaker 8: decided not to go because we did not want to
• 48:53
  Speaker 8: be down there. Anight, listen, we both carried. We're not
• 48:56
  Speaker 8: We're not.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah not. Do not do a REDS game though you
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: can't do that. Therein lies the rub and the challenge.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: You are not allowed to carry into a REDS game.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: You aren't allowed any weapons in a REDS game. So
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: that's and I have so many friends that are concealed
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: carry folks that will not go any place where they
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: say you can't carry because it takes away they're ability
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: to defend themselves. But here, let me just offer a
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: little sav perhaps because you know, everybody's trying to scare
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: that crap out us about literally everything. And I'm not
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: suggesting for a moment that the city of Cincinnati is
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: irredeemably violent. I think that you know there are problems.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: We obviously read about them. I don't know which direction
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: overall crime rates are. But it's like anything in the
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: world the Internet. Everything's reported real time right away, so
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: any little problem can be can be concentrated. It looks
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: like it's happening everywhere the world's falling apart. Oh my god,
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: someone got stabbed in Poughkeepsie, Iowa. It feels as though
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: it's in your backyard. I know it's bad, but strengthen numbers.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: I don't have many problems we've had at Reds games
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: because there are so many people. The hours are usually
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: conduced so to people getting back and forth through their
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: cars and everything. So I think the likelihood and we
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: go back for a lot of years. I remember talking
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: to Tom Stragger about this. He said, you know, if
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: you're not involved in drugs downtown Cincinnati, buying or selling,
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: then you're not going to be attacked. The likelihood of
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: you getting harmed is very slim. And I know we've
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: moved beyond that, but really, on a statistical basis, with
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: all the people that live and walk around in visit,
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: drive into, and work in the city of Cincinnati, visit
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: for Reds games, there's I mean, percentage wise, you're in
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: pretty safe company right there. The likelihood that you will
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: be the one written about of the paper the next
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: day is very, very slim. So I try to factor
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: that in when I'm making decisions about whether or not
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: to go downtown. I went down there on Sunday for
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: the Ford Oval of Honor walked four or five blocks
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: from my car, went in, came out. I had no
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: problem whatsoever. I have a feeling like you when it
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: comes to going downtown. I do evaluate the safety risks
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: ahead of time, but overall I'll usually end up making
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: the choice to go ahead and go downtown. Why because
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: there's so many good things that go on down there,
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: and we shouldn't let you know what I mean, And
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: I know you feel that way here, did any voice?
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 51:03
  Speaker 8: I do because I love the town. Like I said,
• 51:06
  Speaker 8: I grew up in Lebanon and going downtown to the
• 51:08
  Speaker 8: zoo to Eden Park. I mean that was such a
• 51:13
  Speaker 8: highlight of my childhood.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 51:15
  Speaker 8: So, I mean, you know, I and I listen and
• 51:18
  Speaker 8: I feel better about it. Perhaps we'll go next year.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: There you go, Joys do that, you know, raise that
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: metaphorical middle figure. It's everybody who might frighten you away
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: from going downtown. You know. The if we all strength
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: and we all engage in a collective, we're not going
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: to abide. We're going to take over our neighborhoods. We're
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: going to take over We're going to take the streets
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: back from the thugs. We are going to be the
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: opposition to any street takeovers that happen. I know it's
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: easy to say, but the more people who stand up
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: in defiance of the criminals in the world, the better
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: opportunity we have to retake the city of Cincinnati, make
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: it a safe place for everybody mentally and in reality.
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for cling Joyce, I appreciate And
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: the last.
• 51:58
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and the last listen. If you didn't vote Democrat,
• 52:02
  Speaker 8: you wouldn't get purble.
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: Don't vote Democrats.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Joys. Amen to that. Appreciate it.
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: He's only making them six point three if I have
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: caresy de talk station Ryan Thomas wishing everyone a happy Tuesday.
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: Invitation to stick around after top of the ournew is
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: Christopher Smithment returns with a smith event for a Tuesday.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: On the phone, my submarine r friend Curbbage, Mike, I
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: hope you found something well thoughtful and solemn and uh well.
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: Yesterday for Memorial Day, to remember those who pay the
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: ultimate sacrifice in service to our country, Mike and my
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: friend Rick had a shout out for you. I got
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: an email from him. He said, if you don't have
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: any personal acquaintances to remember on Memorial day. Look up
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: the story of the seeking of the US as Juno
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: just one of the hundreds of our ships that are
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: their crews were lost submarine or Mike probably knows that
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: we lost fifty two subs during World War II. These
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: boats and their crews are considered to be on eternal patrol.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: Welcome back, Mike, God bless you, sir, and happy Tuesday.
• 52:54
  Speaker 9: That's a great note to lead into Ryan. Yes, every
• 52:57
  Speaker 9: Memorial Day we held a vigil here out at the
• 53:02
  Speaker 9: cemetery out of Westchester for those fifty two boats and
• 53:06
  Speaker 9: basically every boat this name is red and back in Grotten,
• 53:11
  Speaker 9: the submarine capital of the world. We actually have a flag,
• 53:14
  Speaker 9: and we'll take the students from Basic Submarine School and
• 53:17
  Speaker 9: we'll take fifty two sailors. And as that boat is named,
• 53:21
  Speaker 9: Bell was told, and that flag is dipped. So I
• 53:24
  Speaker 9: appreciate that email. One of the highest percentages of fighting
• 53:28
  Speaker 9: forces in World War two, but clearly, along with other forces,
• 53:32
  Speaker 9: really helped turn the tide into Pacific.
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, without question, without question, you know the I'm sorry man,
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: the horror of a submarine imploding. I realized I probably
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: if I was in one, wouldn't feel it at all,
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: but just the whole idea of it is just it's
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: one of those reasons why serving on a submarine kind
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: of is a psychological thing you got to overcome.
• 53:51
  Speaker 9: Mike, Well, unlike our nuclear submarines of today, they spent
• 53:55
  Speaker 9: the majority of the time on the surface because you know,
• 53:58
  Speaker 9: they had to charge that battery, where if they were
• 54:00
  Speaker 9: submerged and attacking, they would almost have to charge that
• 54:03
  Speaker 9: thing every day or every night. And that's why they
• 54:06
  Speaker 9: were out there with depth guns because they had surface
• 54:09
  Speaker 9: battles as well. So a very risky business to say
• 54:12
  Speaker 9: the least. And I know the weather played havoc with
• 54:15
  Speaker 9: a lot of Memorial Day events. I hope that year.
• 54:17
  Speaker 9: Folds of Honor on Sunday was also a very nice
• 54:21
  Speaker 9: tribute to those service members.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: The Ford Oval Honor was indeed an awesome tribute to
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: those hand selected members. And we had a couple of
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: World War Two veterans there. One of them just turned
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: one hundred years old, so just a beautiful thing to behold.
• 54:34
  Speaker 9: That is awesome. And at the end of my day
• 54:36
  Speaker 9: yesterday I was slipping through the TV guide and on
• 54:39
  Speaker 9: Turner Classic Channel last night they had the Great Escape,
• 54:43
  Speaker 9: so I watched it for a little bit and I
• 54:45
  Speaker 9: couldn't help but think of our good friend Bob Doolan.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: Bob Dulhan, what an amazing guy. He was another honor
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: for me to meet him. I as goot meet one
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: of the Douletters dog Littles Raiders at the first Ford
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: Oval of Honor. But yeah, he was super fantastic man,
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: absolutely fan task that God rest his soul. And thank
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: you cribbage Mike, not only for your service to our country,
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: but our friendship which I really appreciate. One of the
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: beautiful things, and being a host of the fifty five
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: cars see morning shows, meeting such wonderful people like Mike,
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: notably at listener lunch. We're going to be at Anderson
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: Pub and Grill next Wednesday, first Wednesday of June for that,
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: I hope to see you there, Mike. God bless you man.

• 55:52
  Speaker 1: using the app to log into those those conversations throughout
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: the week. Welcome to the program, Todd, Thanks for calling
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: this morning.
• 55:59
  Speaker 10: Hey morning, Brian. I just wanted to follow up on
• 56:03
  Speaker 10: the comments from the lady before about safety downtown. I
• 56:08
  Speaker 10: worked down town a lot at a major sports venue.
• 56:12
  Speaker 10: I'm not going to say which one, and occasionally I
• 56:17
  Speaker 10: have to walk after the games from we'll just say
• 56:22
  Speaker 10: up there music Hall down to a garage by the
• 56:27
  Speaker 10: convention Center, and every now and then there'll be groups
• 56:31
  Speaker 10: of ladies walking and I can say we never really
• 56:34
  Speaker 10: had a problem. And the other night we were getting done
• 56:39
  Speaker 10: about the same time another major sports event was getting done,
• 56:43
  Speaker 10: crowds of people and they're safety.
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: In numbers, yes, you know, and.
• 56:49
  Speaker 10: I you know, there's rarely been a problem when traveling
• 56:55
  Speaker 10: to and from where we end up parking to where
• 56:59
  Speaker 10: we had going to work. I'll just say that so
• 57:02
  Speaker 10: I know there's there's been an uptick, but I've never
• 57:08
  Speaker 10: really myself been doing this for a multiple number of years,
• 57:12
  Speaker 10: really experienced any problems downtown.
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: And I'm glad to hear that as well. And I
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: think you are having the same experience that most people
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: are having. The problem is is that that perception of
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: violence that have to have purval, keeps, you know, claiming
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: there is no violence. There's no violence town. There's obviously violence,
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: and we have this growing problem. And of course when
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: hundreds of crazy teenagers takeover streets, that perception of violence
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: is broadened and that represents a threat to everybody. It's like,
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: wait a second, how does strengthen numbers. If you got
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: like eight people walking together to or from a ball game,
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: that's one thing. But if you're surrounded, as we saw
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: last summer in July with the beatdown, if you're surrounded
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: by an overwhelming number of mobsters, then it doesn't really
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: help you out. But that one event or events like
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: that would seem to be happening more and more often
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: really create this Oh, my god, there's no way I
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: can be safe walking to downtown Cincinnati. I know that
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: statistically your safe statistically doesn't guarantee your safety, but yeah,
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: your your experience has to be like most Todd, because
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: who in the hell would work in downtown Cincinnati if
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: you could not walk from point A to point B
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: without getting attacked right.
• 58:19
  Speaker 10: Exactly now. One advantage I have. I'm kind of a large,
• 58:23
  Speaker 10: imposing looking person. So you know, my my biggest concern is,
• 58:30
  Speaker 10: you know, my type of person is usually one that's
• 58:33
  Speaker 10: going to have several people if their intent on doing something.
• 58:37
  Speaker 11: Come at me.
• 58:37
  Speaker 10: But true, you know, by and March, I don't have
• 58:40
  Speaker 10: a problem. But there was also one other thing she
• 58:45
  Speaker 10: said I think was very important, and that is don't
• 58:50
  Speaker 10: vote Democrat.
• 58:53
  Speaker 11: Thank you.
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: And everybody needs a friend like Todd. Brian Thomas is
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: about five, I have ten, weighed at about one hundred
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: and seventy seventy five pounds. I'm not that guy. I
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: need a friend like Todd, a large imposing guy that
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: looks like he could beat the living crap out of
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: any human being that comes your direction. I do a
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: friends like that. Sadly they're not with me all the time,
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: which is why you know, I look at my constitutional
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: rights and when I can exercise them and don't have
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: them taken away from me because well, like a baseball
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: game or eight, Well I can go into a bar
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: if I'm not drinking. But you get the idea, the
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: great equalizer isn't always ready for you or there when
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: you might need it most sixty five fifty five kr
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: CED talk station. Get friends like Dodd and get some
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: motor eggs that works on the stension of the see
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: the talk station. It's six fifty here ifdy five KRSD
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: talk station five seven fifty eight hundred eight two three
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: talk pound five fifty on at and T found you
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: talk about violence, of course downtown. How violent is it?
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: He'd give me. Is it so violent? At least you
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: think it's so violent you won't go downtown for things?
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: Joyce called earlier she loved going to the Reds games
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: and took a pass. And I know a lot of
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: people who've reached the same conclusion. Christopher Smith is going
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: to join the program after the top of the air
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: news talk about that most notably in the context of
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: these crazy outbursts of gang you well, maybe not gang
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: related but you know, coordinated youth violence, the street takeovers,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: Where in the hell did this concept come from? And
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: again the broader problems, where are the parents. It's really
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: makes you wonder, but it's hard to you know, overlook
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: the crime in downtown Cincinnati. You got four shot this morning.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: I woke up to this. Joe Tregg's like, oh, we
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: got a violence update this morning. Four shot, four thousand
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: blocking north Side. One suspect is severely injured, and a
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: couple of them went to the three of them went
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: to the hospital. One of them refused treatment. So no idea,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: And you know, I always trying to look for motive.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: Going back to my comment about what Chief tries Striker said,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: you know the likelihood of you being a victim of
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: a crime in downtown again we're going back fifteen twenty years.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: Don't get involved with drugs. You are involved in criminal activity.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: Even if you're just a random buyer, you're involved in
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: criminal activity. Don't get involved in criminal activity. You're not
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: going to be subject to violence. We seem to have
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: a real giant mental health problem going onto this world
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: of late and try to trace the causes for that.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: Maybe it has something to do with societal breakdown. I
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe it has something to do with parents
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: not taking care of their children and raising them to
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: at least a certain degree of ethics and morality, or
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: just minding where they are at late night hours. But statistically,
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: even if you factor in that kind of thing, probably
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: not going to be a victim. Going back to motive,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: the people that get shot or otherwise stabbed typically are
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: the target a specific target. I like to think of myself, well,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: who would go after me? What the hell have I
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: done to deserve getting shot or stabbed? But I'm not
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: involved in gang activity, criminal activity, not involved in buying
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: and selling a drug. So the further you are away
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: from that kind of thing, the less likely it's going
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: to happen, unless, of course, you run into some deranged
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: person that's having some psychotic breakdown and wants to get
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: all stabby on you. Now, I don't know if that's
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: the kind of thing that happened to the forty six
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: year old on Monday. But someone got stabbed in Lower
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: Price sol forty six year old man, and of course
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: naturally the person's dead. No good news here, nineteen hundred
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: block of State Avenue, five o'clock in the morning on
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: a Monday, got there found a man with multiple stab rooms.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: Their first responders provided life saving measures on the man.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: Of course it didn't happen. Julian Clinton. The man's name dead,
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: pronounced dead at the scene, No suspects identified. Don't know
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: what led to it. Now, let us presume the normal
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: logical thing, not that stabbing someone to death is the
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: normal logical reaction. Less it's done in self defense. But
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: they had a connection with each other, the or and
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: the stabby. I'd like to think if that's not you,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: someone who has, you know, a sort of you know,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: somebody would a mbdetta against you. They just snapped they're
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: going after you because they know you. So that's You're
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: one step removed from something like that. Don't know about
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: the four people that got shot this morning. Was this
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: a gang activity that we've heard so much about. You're
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: not in gangs. You're probably not going to get shot
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: by gangsters. Maybe, and I guess you don't show up
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: at a bar. The owner of a Summerset bar spoke
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: out of the after a weekend shooting left the person hospitalized.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: James Fisher, the Somerset bar founder, said the shooting unfolded.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: In second, surveillance footage from the bar shows the moments
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: it led up to the shots. Based on footage and
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: talking with our security and everything like that, the shooter
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: was on the block and the kind of around the place,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: waiting for the victim to leave for at least an hour.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: Notice that waiting for the victim to leave sounds like
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: a targeted attack to me. Police arrested in charge twenty
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: nine year old Taviance Maxbury Floydius said possession of crack cocaine.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: Tried to enter the Somerset several times on Sunday afternoon,
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: denied by security because he didn't have an ID. Fisher said.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: The video shows the suspect pulling your gun on the
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: guard and pushing inside, prompting in a media emergency response
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: call called nine one. One guy went further into the establishment,
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: ran all the way to the back, grab a police officer,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: and as the police officer and security were coming back
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: up mcmickaonn Avenue, they heard three shots. Maxbury arrested shortly
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: after the video, using the video to identify him. They
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: also found the crack cocaine on him when he was arrested,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: So you know again, random acts of violence, if it
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: was a vast problem. Random acts of violence kind of
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: what we saw last July, the one that made national headlines,
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: one that saw Holly get the brutal beat down that
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: left her with permanent injuries. Some of our elected officials
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: say that, you know, she deserved it. Yeah, the narrative
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: has changed a little bit on that since the information,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: all the truth has out. Now that is the kind
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: of thing that generates legitimate concern merely walking from point
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: A to point B and being targeted for no other
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: reason that you're simply in downtown Cincinnati. Some of us
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: suggest that they were targeted because they were white. I
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: don't know. Words definitely were exchanged. Did any of them
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: deserve a beatdown? And moving aside from that, the answer
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: obviously no, No one deserved that kind of brutality. But
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: that is a real problem for downtown Cincinnati's image. And
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: it serves to, you know, com to the narrative that,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not going to go downtown because
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: I will be a victim of random violence as opposed
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: to targeted violence. But I think we all boil down.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: We look at all the shootings and the stabbings and
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: the acts of violence. I'd like to think, and I
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: pray to God that it's true that random victims, ones
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: that have no connection to the perpetrator of the crime
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: are very small in percentage. I love the city of Cincinnati.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: I hate the government that's running it. I hate their priorities.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: I think they're doing all of us at disservice for
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: a variety of reasons. But ultimately, and this is not
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: coming to their aid or defense. Ultimately, I think the
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: perception that it's just too damn dangerous to walk around
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: downtown maybe a little overblown. Draw your own conclusions. Christopher
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: Smithment up neck to talk about violence in downtown Cincinnati,
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: among other topics. Don't go away. I hope you can
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: stick her out the iHeartRadio app. It's where we put
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: the seven oh six fifty five krs detalk station. Happy
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: Tuesday Extra Special, Happy Day for Me. Look up and
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: see the fifty five Carsee morning show Rundown, put together
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: by executive producer Joe Strecker and Christopher Smithman's on the Rundown.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: I knew it's going to be a good day. He
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: actually let me know ahead of time he was coming
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: on the program. Welcome back from our Vice Mayor of
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnati for a better late than never
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: Smith event, Christopher Smithman, always a pleasure to have you
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: on the show, my friend.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 11: Thank you man, and happy belated Memorial Day. We can't
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 11: at till all of our vets out there, all those
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 11: families that are sacrificed and half sacrificed. You know, you
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 11: and I extend and tip our hat to them and
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 11: their families. We wouldn't have the ability to be on
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 11: this radio show to express our opinions. We couldn't go
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 11: to the chaste Cincinnati on a dry day or a
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 11: wet day without those sacrifices, right, And so people have
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 11: to realize that when they're out doing whatever they're doing,
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 11: expressing themselves, they have to realize that they're doing that
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 11: because you know, a million people or so have lost
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 11: their lives, laid them down so that you and I
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 11: could have their freedom. So our love and our admiration
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 11: to all the vets out there and to those who
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 11: have paid the ultimate sacrifice.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: Brother, no question about it, man, I'm telling you, and
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: you got you just have to wonder what goes through
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: a veteran and of course is still alive. And someone
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: who lost their life in service of their country. That's
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: Memorial Day is all about. But the families of those
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: who lost their lives in service country, and even the
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: veterans who served and fought off against oppression and in
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: the name of freedom of speech and the liberties that
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: we have. How they feel when the freedoms and liberties
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: that they fought for are being used by the angry,
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: vile people. Who will be the first person to stand
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: in line and well tell them that they were wrong
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: in defending these freedoms and liberties. I just I just
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: don't know how you can reconcile that. And they look
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: beyond it. They're good, noble people, the veterans and served
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: our country that are still around to contemplate something like that.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: But boy, that is a true smack in the face
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: when you think about it hard.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 11: It is, and think about you know, all of the
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 11: cities across our country, and I'm talking to urban cities,
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 11: urban core, and I'm not talking about the residents. I'm
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 11: talking about city halls in Toledo City Hall, in Columbus
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 11: City Hall, in Cleveland and Cincinnati. You know, you very
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 11: rarely hear them proclaiming memorial they are proclaiming their support
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 11: from the dais right, so they'll they'll they'll put up
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 11: whatever flag they want. But when it gets to the
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 11: American flag right where this is a moment to bring
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 11: it down half staff or to have some type of
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 11: a recognition from the podium, or just to speak, you know,
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 11: on a Wednesday, you know, extending your love and support
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 11: for those who gave us and give us the ability.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 11: We never see that. That's the thing that just kind
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 11: of like baffles my mind. And when I served, and
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 11: when John Cranley served, and we got to Memorial Day weekend,
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 11: we were always speaking from that dais and giving.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 6: That level of respect for those fallen.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 11: People because it wasn't fallen soldiers.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: Because you had that level of respect, it wasn't even
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: a question mark whether or not you're going to say
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: something about Memorial Day and those who paid the ultimate
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: sacrifice to support these freedoms and liberties we enjoyed after that.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: Purvol is not a member of the people who feel
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: that way. He just joined this ridiculous but packed for
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: Free Cities, which apparently was performed as a global network
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: of mayors determined to stand up for progressive values and
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: fight against nationalistic populism. Oh my god, Christopher, if you're
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: proud of our country the freedoms and liberties that that
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: flag stands for. Here a xenophobe is how I read that? Nonsense?
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 11: I agree, and I'm just saying, watch as we walk
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 11: through the year, right, you will hear pronouncements from city
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 11: Hall about all kinds of progressive issues. And I'm not
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 11: pooh poohing on them, right. It just when they get
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 11: to the American flag and they get to things like
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 11: you know, the two hundred and fiftieth you know anniversary,
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 11: you know in July, they didn't go silent, and then
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 11: they go live again on some issue, progressive issue, and
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 11: it just drives me crazy. Well, they do not realize, Brian,
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 11: that they don't have those freedoms without that ultimate sacrifice
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 11: from those veterans, And that's what drives me crazy. And
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 11: they don't also realize that a lot of our firefighters
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 11: and a lot of our police officers are either serving
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 11: or half served.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 6: So it's a.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 11: Great natural way for you to uplift our police departments
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 11: and our fire departments and all of our city workers
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 11: right who are served, who are serving or who have
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 11: served because many of them, Brian Thomas have many of
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 11: our cops and firefighters are veterans.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: Well, of course, But why do you think it is
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: they can't stand up for America conceptually? Is it because
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: every time some leftist is presented with a question of,
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: you know, supporting the flag or supporting the freedoms and
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: liberties that we still have in this country that nobody
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: else enjoys, that they always have to interject but you know,
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, fine, but we've been we were born of
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: original sin. We cannot celebrate everything we've accomplished in this
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty years we've been around. We can't
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: look at the changes and the moves in the right direction.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: We can't celebrate the accomplishments and the victories in science
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: and technology and humanity and helping the entire globe financially. No, no, no,
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: let us focus on something bad America did. They're not
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: capable of being supportive of the concept of America because,
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: of course, like every country on the entire globe and
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: every history of every country on the globe, we're not perfect.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 11: Correct, meaning our country is the great experiment, and you
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 11: and I can say in it's imperfection it's still the
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 11: greatest place on earth, right, and we don't have to
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 11: focus on those problems every single day. We can get
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 11: to Memorial Day and go, wow, man, my grandfather served
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 11: or my neighbor's grandfather lost his life, right, or there's
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 11: a flag outside somebody's house, and I don't go, well, man,
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 11: they've got to be racist, or they've got to be
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 11: bad people are are they're a nationalist because they're flying
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 11: the flag, the American flag. We're talking about where they live.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 11: So I'm just saying it's always interesting. I'm asserting to you,
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 11: Brian this morning on this Spleen Bent that the reason
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 11: City Hall doesn't do it is because it doesn't play
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 11: to their base. That's why they don't do it. They
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 11: want to make sure they keep sending the message that
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 11: they do not like the United States of America, yep,
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 11: and that they have problems with where they live, even
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 11: though they're being elected in the democratic process, even though
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 11: the government is paying their salaries. They want to continue
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 11: to tell their base there's something really bad about America
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 11: and we can't celebrate Memorial Day and we can't recognize it.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 11: And I'm just letting everybody know it's not just what
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 11: politicians say, it's what they don't say, no.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: Question about it. I tell you what to take an
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: early break, because anyone to talk about violence and these
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: crazy youth outbreak violence. And I want to give you
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to do that since we have Tom zawistat
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: if you have ker City Talk Station, Happy Tuesday, Christopher
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: Smithman on a Tuesday, which is great any day of
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: the week for Christopher's great. What else, Christopher, I got
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: that text from you said you wanted to talk about
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: these crazy gangs of kids breaking out a moment's notice
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: and taking over city streets and committing acts of crime.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: What do you think about this and is there a solution?
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: Christopher Smitheman.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 11: Well, it's not in Cincinnati. If there's going to be
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 11: a team takeover, it's within There's going to be a
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 11: team take or takeover. It's going to happen. You know,
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 11: students are you know, in their last week of school.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 11: We know they're going to be out for the summer.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 11: I don't think you. Brian Thomas has heard a plan
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 11: coming from city Hall to deal with crime this summer.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 11: No are to deal with juvenile crime this summer. We
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 11: see that there's this national trend going on. Whether we
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 11: look at New Jersey or New York, or Chicago or Detroit.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 11: We've seen the pictures of the Chipotle the fight there.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 11: We know it's we know it has already happened in Cincinnati.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 11: We know it's coming. What Cincinnati doesn't have as a plan,
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 11: Brian Thomas says, I want City Hall to know, and
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 11: for all your listeners, I don't blame them for the violence.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 11: That's not what I'm I'm holding the mayor and the
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 11: nine members of council account for what I'm What I'm
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 11: disappointed in each week is they don't have a plan
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 11: right and then they give these huge contracts to consultants
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 11: like uh, you know mssus Rowley, and then you don't
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 11: hear what they're doing. Meaning if we're going to give
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 11: somebody six hundred and fifty thousand dollars or some other
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 11: nonprofit uh millions of dollars, we should know that they're
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 11: out there dealing with violence and team violence and what
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 11: are they doing and what is our ROI that's my
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 11: problem with City Hall. And by the way, we will
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 11: never stop the team takeovers until we hold the parents accountable.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 11: The buck stops with them. And I'm serious. I mean,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 11: whether they are the guardian, the parent, or they're in
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 11: some split family situation. You know, the parent that is
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 11: where the child is is not the only parent that
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 11: gets arrested. In my opinion, we arrest both parents. We
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 11: find both of them, and we hold them accountable. If
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 11: your twelve year old, thirteen year old, fourteen year old
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 11: is in downtown Cincinnati in the Dora on the banks,
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 11: this is just an example with a gun, and our
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 11: officers approach them this summer, tonight tomorrow as the weather
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 11: warms up and we get on the other side of
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 11: this rain, right, we have the right to detain that person.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 11: We're not gonna they have broken curfew. There is twelve o'clock,
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 11: it is two o'clock in the morning. But they do
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 11: not have a city hall Brian Thomas, that will back
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 11: up that officer and say, I'm gonna hold you account
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 11: of young man for being down here breaking curfew, whether
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 11: you have a gun or not, and I have the
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 11: right to approach you and do proactive policing. Where has
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 11: that gone, Brian Thomas, Well.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: It's a rhetorical question. We all know where it's gone.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: They don't have proactive policing.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 11: And until we get there, brother, right, the solution is
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 11: proactive policing.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 6: The solution is.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 11: A plan that holds parents accountable, a solution that detains
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 11: the juvenile right.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 4: The problem is there are people like Miss Irish Rowley
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 4: who doesn't want that child detained because they'll say, oh, no,
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 4: it's the babies. We're worried about the children. It's two
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 4: o'clock in the morning and the thirteen year old has
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 4: a gun. Yeah, they're shooting in downtown right by the way.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 4: The opening day situation was a team takeover. What we
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 4: saw in Price Hill at Price Hill Chili, right where
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 4: kids were jumping on top of cars, running all across
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 4: the street, taking over all around that beautiful restaurant that's
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 4: been there forever in Price Hill. That was a team takeover.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 4: The reality of it is the team takeovers are already happening.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 4: The bottom line here is that every time we ask
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 4: this mayor, will you accept help from the state, will
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 4: you accept help from the governor? They always say they're
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 4: declining that help. What is it gonna take? What's it
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 4: gonna take? Brian Thomas, is somebody out here, like in
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 4: Northside which I'm gonna talk about four people shot overnight
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 4: at a bus stop. The reality of it is you
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 4: and I know that four people shot. They might have
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 4: shot thirty times. It wasn't like boom boom, boom boom.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 4: They were down there. It probably sounded like World War
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 4: II out there in the north side on Hamilton Avenue.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 4: The point that I'm making is crime is out of
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 4: control and these little things can take you to just
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 4: escalate until we get to murder.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: Well, not to burst your bubble on a solution, for example,
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: holding parents accountable. Let's say we had a law on
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: the books that allowed us to hold parents accountable. You know,
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: we define sets of parameters and principles. Let's say everything
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: was fined at all past constitutional muster, et cetera, et cetera. First,
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: you'd have to have the initiative to put some sort
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: of law statute on the books. Do you think that's
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: going to happen from the city council. Second, while the police,
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: I believe if they were given instruction to actually enforce
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: the law like curfew, for example, they would be more
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: than willing to do it. But what's the follow up.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: Will the prosecutor's office also follow up and strictly enforce
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: the the you know, whatever criminal charges that come along
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: with that. Will they force the kid into juvenile hall?
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: I mean there's the next question. Then if even if
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: the prosecutor's office was willing to do that, will the
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: judges actually impose fines and sentences that are consistent with
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: the punishment or they with what the law says is
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: the punishable offense. I think the answer is no. The
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: whole system's broken down. So great idea. He is presented
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: to an administration that rejects them all out of hand
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: because it's inconsistent with their anti police, anti enforcement philosophy.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 11: And this is why when I served as the vice
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 11: mayor and the chair of Lauren Public Safety under John Cranley,
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 11: it wasn't that John Cranley did not show up to
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 11: these monthly meetings. He showed up, The city manager showed up.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 11: I showed up.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 4: We chaired a meeting, and we probably had thirty to
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 4: forty of our partners, you know, whether it was reentry
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 4: programs from the Urban League, whether it was the prosecutor's office,
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 4: whether it was the FBI ATF the sheriff's department, our
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 4: police department.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 11: You know, you name it.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 4: The agencies and anybody and everybody who was responsible for
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 4: dealing with crime. They were all in the same room,
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 4: around the same table, and we were all working.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 11: On that plan. And behind us was a map of
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 11: fifty two nahor and they would go, here are the hotspots,
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 11: here's where someone got shot. What do we need to
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 11: do about this. Let's move our assets into this area.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 11: Let's bring our undercover detectives in here. Let's bring the
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 11: ATF in here. Let's federally charge them when they have
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 11: a gun, so we can really put some time on
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 11: them if they're out here with the firear. Meaning we
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 11: had a plan. This mayor and this council they do
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 11: not have a plan. They're not bringing the team together.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 11: And what Chief Fiji has now disclosed to all of
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 11: us is when she attempted to bring the plan together,
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 11: that city manage her admonished her, what.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 6: Are you doing?
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 11: Why are you bringing all.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 4: Of these assets together? That's what a police chief is
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 4: supposed to do. Brian Thomas, what else is she supposed
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 4: to do? I need help, I need the sheriffs. This
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 4: is everything that we did in order to try to
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 4: keep the Cincinnati faith Cincinnati residents safe in our fifty
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 4: two neighborhoods.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 11: And here's what's so sad about it? And Jail Strecker
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 11: hit me with this with a text message. They all
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 11: vote for right, overwhelmingly the North Side, whether you're talking
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 11: about it or clipted. They voted for this administration and
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 11: elections have consequences.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, almost one hundred percent. Well you get what you
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: vote for, I guess, Christopher Smithman, and understanding what this
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: current administration stands for and what it doesn't what is
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: apparently not on its radar in terms of finding solutions, Well,
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: maybe we have another opportunity next election cycle to vote
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: some new people in. Christopher, You're going to be a
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: betting man and decide whether or not the residents of
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnata going to go a different direction
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: or will it be status quo.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: Status quo, statistical status quo.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 11: Because because of the culture within the Democratic Party, the
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 11: blue dog Democrats, the moderate Democrats right are are dead
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 11: in the in the Democratic Party only, and they are
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 11: going to have to wake up and rise up and say, listen,
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 11: we're going to have to start voting common sense. We
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 11: cannot allow team takeovers. Describing indiscriminate violence in our neighborhoods,
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 11: like what just happened in the North Side. I mean,
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 11: I mean, we're getting so numb to this. Four people
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 11: shot doesn't even rock this man. That's what's scary about it.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 11: Like it doesn't even rock us, Like you wake up,
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 11: look at the news and allowed four people shot on
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 11: Hamilton Avenue R at a bus stop. One's in critical condition.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 11: And we don't even have the shooter. We don't even
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 11: know where the shooter is. Our cops cannot be mom, dad,
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 11: and uncle and aunts. They cannot do it. Their job
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 11: is to go out there do proactive policing. And I'm
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 11: sharing with every listener that is hearing this show right
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 11: now the reason they're not doing it is City Hall
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 11: and the nine members of council and all of their
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 11: consultants down there have the hands tied of law enforcement
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 11: in our city. And we're going to have a really tough, hard,
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 11: hot summer.
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: Yes, I have a feeling you are right, Christopher Smithling
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: and Smithlman. I wish I had a reason to argue
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: with you on that point. Let us just pray to
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: God that it doesn't happen the way we all expect
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: it's going to turn out this summer. Christopher Smithman will
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: join each Other's company again next Monday for the regular
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: Monday Morning Smith im at Ash and Tuesday. It's that time.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: You can find them online. We the People Convention dot Org.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the fifty five care See Morning Show,
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: Tom Zawastowski, it's a pleasure to have you back on, sir. Oh,
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: glad to be with you.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 2: Brian Joe was telling me, you guys actually had some
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: decent weather yesterday up here an Acron. It didn't clear
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 2: up until about three o'clock in the afternoons. So I
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: here glad to hear Chris Smitherin say we're gonna get
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: on the other side of this rain, because I'm thinking, man,
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 2: I hope that happened as soon. It's been a rough May,
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 2: hasn't it.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: It has, and you know timings everything. It's just kind
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: of I must be sixty years old because I talk
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: about cutting the grass and it's like it's such an
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: important thing in my world. But thankfully yesterday did give
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: me an opportunity to cut the grass. And it's commented
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: to my wife about that, said, man, I'm so glad
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: I got to cut the grass today because it's going
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: to rain again for the next several days. And she
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: kind of looked at me funny, and it's like, well,
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: didn't the grass need to be cut? It's like, well, yeah,
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: I guess it did, so regardless of whether we got
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: three or four days of rain in front of us.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: I cut the grass. Yeay, give yourself a feather and
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: a pout of the back, right right.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 2: I've been the same thing. And we finally broke like
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 2: three o'clock. We get home from the parade then, and
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 2: I went to it, and the first thing, I'm like, man,
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 2: I gotta get that grass. It's been raining for days.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 2: So yeah, Hey, little victories mean a lot when you're older,
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 2: you know, we look at the little things, right, So
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: that was good.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 6: I'm glad you got it done.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: I'm strung, you know, and I know we're not on
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: topic here, but I'm trying to put a smile on
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: my face. The lighter hearted things. I just came to
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: the realization it's almost like I spent the last twenty
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: years of my life sort of looking at myself in
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: the mirror and believing me to be a much much
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: younger man than I was. You know, felt younger. It
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: felt like a young you know, a kid still kind
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: of acted like one, you know, lighthearted way blah blah
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah. And then one day I woke up
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: and it's like twenty years of life just fast forward
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: in a moment's time, and I look in the mirror
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: and I see my dad every single day, and I
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: feel like I'm an old man, and you know, all
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: these kids these days, and I'm just I don't know,
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: somebody else had to struggle with the same reality, I suppose,
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: but it's just a weird thing getting old.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 2: Tom it is. You know, it's so funny you say
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: that because Dan and I are actually having that conversation
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 2: this weekend, because you know, we're with the family, so
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 2: we're with our children who are in their thirties and
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: you know, early forties, and then we're with our grandchildren.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 2: But you know, the hard part Brian is trying to
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: is trying to convey that to them because you look fine,
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: like to them, they go, you know, you look like
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: you're fine, but like you're at the point where like
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: can I get out of this chair, you know, can
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 2: I walk up those stairs?
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 4: Hey?
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: Hey, Hey, we're not the parade three blocks away? Are
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 2: we gonna make it? Yeah?
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: Well you maybe feel a little bit better. At least
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: I can still get up if I choose to do so,
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: because my wife's going right now. How can you don't
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: get up more often? Then? Anyhow? Talk? Yeah, interesting little
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: side roads, side road we went down in advance of
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: discussing maybe rolling back the gas tags. I doesn't I
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: hear these rumors and just discussions and maybe we have
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: some sort of agreement with the Iranians. I know Donald
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: Trump's under a huge pressure to get the straight of
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: horror moves open, maybe so much so that he'll enter
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: into what he might have previously characterized as a bad deal.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: But the economy is really heaping pressure down upon us,
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: and the idea of rolling back a gas tax, I
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: think about it. About it kind of similar to releasing
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: fuel from the Strategic Petroleum Oil Reserve too well soothe
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: the injury that we're all facing as the consequence of
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: the war that got started. So more with Tom on
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: that topic, because I'm curious new which direction Tom's on
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: that we the People Convention dot orgs where you find
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: him seven thirty five right now? Chin Brian Thomas with
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: Tom Zawastowski Quora, We the People Convention dot Org. You
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: find Tom, you find his podcast every week, and of
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: course the types of topics we talk about Tuesday on
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: the Here on the fifty five Carricy Morning Show, Tom Zawastowski,
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: is it a good idea to roll back the state
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: gas tax? Assuming the will is there in Columbus? Is
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: this a good idea? Obviously it's designed to address what
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: hopefully will be a temporary phenomenon. Although I'm getting less
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: and less, I'm getting more and more concerned that it's
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: not going to be a temporary phenomenon, or we're just
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: going to enter into a bad deal with the Iranians.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: And that's the direction things we wake up this morning
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: suggesting that's where it's going to go. Maybe Donald Trump
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: not getting everything you wanted, but to open the straight
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: up horm moves in advance of the November election. I
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: don't know if he's willing to take some lumps to
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: do that, but clearly that is one of the foremost
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: goals on his mind, because of course we're all struggling
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: with the outrageous price of gasoline. Tom, is the tax
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: suspension a good idea. Obviously the infrastructure repairs, our infrastructure
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: dollars will still be needed.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true, and you know, and it is an
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 2: important discussion. And I like the way you frame that
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: because you know, you mentioned a couple of things. One,
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 2: you know, the the letting our security are the fuel
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 2: out of our reserves. You know, President Trump's already had
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 2: to do that twice to kind of ease things, and
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 2: so that's what that's there for. And so then you know,
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 2: you sit there and say, all right, are we going
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: to get a deal, a good deal or a bad deal?
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 2: Don't know honestly until we see the details and see
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 2: if they actually do it implement it. So the problem
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 2: is that it's not going to happen overnight. You know,
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of people have the opinion, and
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 2: I know the stock market is that way. I mean,
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 2: you give many hint that the you know, the deal
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 2: is going to be cut and the stock market goes up,
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: but that doesn't mean the price that the pump's going
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 2: to go down, and that and that's really you know
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 2: the problem for you know, those of us, you know,
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 2: who are buying gasoline, and so you know, I think
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 2: it's an important thing to, as you said, a temporary
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 2: measure to kind of ease things up fun people. But
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 2: it's more important in Ohio, Brian than it is if
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: it go to We the People Convention dot org. You'll
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 2: see an article about, you know, our states states are
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 2: suspending their gas tax as yours, your state doing that.
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: And then you if you see my video there, you
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 2: click on it and I'll talk about Ohio. What set
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: me off on this trail about two weeks ago was
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 2: now this idea came up time Matthews from Finley said, hey,
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: you know, we'd like to look at suspending the you know,
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 2: the gas tax, maybe partially spending it, maybe for a
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 2: couple months. And then the story comes out that Ohio
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 2: has collected one point two billion dollars more than they
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 2: need in taxes on us okay, on personal property tax,
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 2: on car taxes and stuff. They have one point two
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 2: billion dollars of our money that isn't even in the budget,
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: that is just extra. And that's when I said enough,
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 2: Li said, we need our money back. Mike the wide
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: give us our money back. And to me, the fastest
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 2: and most efficient way to get our money back from
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 2: the state would be to suspend the gas tax from
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 2: now until the end of the year, or until gasoline
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 2: gets below three dollars a gallon. I think that's reasonable
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 2: because that's our money and it would help people.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: So your observation is that, well, if we don't collect
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: the gas tax, it's not that the roads are going
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: to fall apart, because we've got a one point two
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: billion dollar strategic I guess petroleum reserve like thing going
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: on to the background with this extra money laying around,
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: So we can continue to fix the roads using that
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: money while we enjoy some relief from the price of
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: the pump.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, Mike the Wine. Of course, when this came
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 2: out in the beginning of May, on May fifth and
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: it was getting some press card, Mike Dwine immediately came
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 2: out and rejected it. Oh, we can't do that. You know,
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 2: you can't suspend the gas tax because you know, these
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 2: roads need to be maintained and construction needs to continue. Right,
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 2: And let's just be clear, where does all that money go. Right,
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 2: It goes to unions, right, goes to construction. Unions goes
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 2: to Democrats for the most part. Okay, And then he said,
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 2: so you know, people want, you know, good roads like
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 2: I wish we could find some good roads, and you
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: know they don't want to, you know, suspend the gas tax.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 2: And when this came up that we had one point
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 2: two billion dollars, I called Robert Sprague, our treasurer, and said, Robert,
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 2: couldn't the legislature transfer this money out of these accounts
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 2: that have surpluses into the fuel tax fund and therefore
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 2: O DOT and the construction wouldn't be affected at all.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 2: He said, absolutely, no problem. The legislature can should do
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 2: that when they lower the fuel tax. So I said,
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 2: let's go, what's your excuse. There's no excuse. And I
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 2: talked to vivig Ramaswami, I talked to Rob McCauley, I
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 2: talked to you different housemolders. I talked to Thy Matthews,
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 2: and I said, you have no excuse. Help the people
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 2: of Ohio and help us now. Thirty eight point five says
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 2: a gallon Brian's that's some real change, right, And forty
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 2: seven sets a gallon for diesel for a tractor trailer
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 2: company that'd been saving five thousand dollars per truck from
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 2: now to the end of the year. That would really
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: help us. And then Cincinnati. Right, you're on the border
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 2: with Indiana and with Kentucky. If our gas is thirty
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 2: eight point five cents per gallon cheaper, you think some
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 2: folks might be coming over from the other states to
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 2: fuel up because their taxes are up there too. It's
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 2: a great strategic move. So why wouldn't we do it?
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: Well, I guess I'm wondering whether anybody is preparing a
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: piece of legislation that'll accomplish exactly what you say, Tap
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 1: into the one point two billion extra dollars we got
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: and allow that money to be released into the dwell
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: for the Highway Fund while suspending the gas tax. It
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 1: sounds simple, Tom, But is there anyone put in pen
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: to paper right now?
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 2: Well, there is time. Mathews has has actually, you know,
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 2: put forward some legislation and it's being you know, kind
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 2: of manipulated in the process. You know, they're adding things
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 2: to it. I actually, if you go to Weeding People
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 2: Convention dot org and you click on that story about
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 2: the you know, the gas tax, you'll see my picture
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 2: with Mike the whine over my shoulder. You click on that,
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 2: it'll take you to an email where I give you
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 2: everyone's phone number. I asked for vank Ramaswami and Amy Actor.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 2: I said, you want to be governor, how about showing
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 2: you support giving we the people are money back by
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 2: pushing Republicans and Democrats and the legislature to as the
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 2: bill supporting the gas tax. The bill is right there,
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 2: I write, it's one paragraph. I'm really hard to do. Right,
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 2: let's pass this, and then I give Huffman Matt Huffman,
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 2: the House Speaker, and Senate Leader mccaulay's phone numbers and
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 2: contact information, and then I have links for every know
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 2: for you to conc your House and Senate member. Listen,
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 2: this is bipartisan Democrats Cincinnati. What about your Democratic House
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 2: members and Senate members? How about pushing them to give
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 2: you a break, because guess what, the gas prices affect
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 2: the least among us, the people have the least resources.
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 2: So this should be unanimous consent. I want them to
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 2: vote before the end of this week. So the reason
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 2: I asked you to discuss this topic this morning is,
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 2: you know, we just supported celebrated or not celebrated. We
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 2: just Dad Memorial Day yesterday, which is not a happy day.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 2: It's not a celebration. It's a solemn day, but we
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 2: acknowledged the people who gave their lives to give us
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 2: the freedom to to have the representation we want. And
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 2: now it's the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary where we're
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 2: really looking at our founding fathers who said no taxation
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 2: without representation and things like that. And I'm calling on
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 2: your audience. I'm asking you get on the phone and
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 2: call every House and Senate member and say you have
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 2: no excuse. I want my money back, and I want
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 2: it back now, and I want you to do it
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 2: this week.
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: I want them to do We the People Convention dot org.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: It's easy to find. Just click on the articles link
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: and you get right where Tom is recommending you. Tom,
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: hold on, I want to have a couple more questions
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: on this, and I just kind of want to get
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: a touch base with you where we are in connection
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: with me here at fifty five kre CEV talk station
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: by Tomas speaking with Tom Zalastowski. You find on my
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 1: line at Weed the People Convention dot Org. Tom, real
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: quick here on the oil thing, you've mentioned Trump releasing
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: oil from the Strategic Petroleum Oil Reserve. I've read a
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 1: million times by now, so much so that I gotta
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: believe it's true. Maybe it's not. I thought we were
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: at washing oil so much so they were the leading
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: exporter of oil, leading producer of oil in the world,
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: and everyone is lining up for around the world as
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: we're dealing with the straight up horor news closure to
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: buy United States oil. It's not cheaper here in the
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: United States despite an abundant supply. Isn't that maybe because
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: we don't allow refinering to the extent we could really
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: need it here in the United States. Is it a
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: refining issue? There go a regulatory issue.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 2: Oh Man, Brian, you're just really hitting on a key point.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 2: And this has been something that we've been the Tea
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 2: Party started talking about seventeen years ago. Unbelievable and you
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 2: talk about you know, like take California, which is ocur
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 2: to that. You know, they suspend the gas tax article.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 2: Their average gallon price for GAM is six fifteen and
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 2: six dollars and fifteen cents a gallon in California. They've
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 2: got like the most oil of any state in the
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 2: entire country. They used to have forty refineries, three left
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 2: and they're trying to close them. They're importing oil from
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 2: like Gulf state into California.
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: Fine, yeah, refined.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 2: Stupid, is that right? It's insane And you're exactly right.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 2: The problem is that we haven't built refineries in the US, oh,
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 2: you know, because of the climate and all the other
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 2: nonsense forever. So the oil that we have we can't refine,
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 2: but we have to send it out of the country
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 2: to get refined.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, California regulator refineries out of existence because of well,
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: climate change or something. They still buy the gasoline at
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 1: a much higher price from abroad. Their hands are allegedly
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: clean because they're not allowing the refining in their backyard,
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: but they'll still buy the stuff, which is of course
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: refined under much more toxic conditions in other countries where
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: they don't have the regulatory scheme that refiners have to
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 1: deal with here. I just I don't understand how this
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: washes with anybody who truly believes in climate change. You're
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: only gonna get rid of climate You're only gonna deal
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: with climate change if you don't consume the gasoline.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, under the whole climate hoax. That's that whole
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 2: climate hoax, right, So we were in the situation, we were
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 2: in a situation, you know, same thing with coal. Look
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 2: what we did in Ohio, you know, forcing us to
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 2: shut down coal plants and things like that, you know,
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 2: because of you know, the solution and stuff. In the meantime, China,
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 2: who's paying for all the protests in the United States
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 2: against this stuff, was building a coal plant a week
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 2: a week, every week for decades. Oh, no problem with China,
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 2: because you know why, because they're the ones paying for
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 2: us the protests. You're building coal plants. It's it's stopping
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 2: with Donald Trump. And love him or hate him, you
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 2: gotta admit he's got us on the right track. We
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 2: are starting to build some refineries, you know, so we
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 2: can start to do it. And we're not stopping even
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 2: with you know, we are doing you know, nuclear and
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 2: other energy, which by the way, was very clean in Ohio.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 2: You know, we have to come to go Bathpox and
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 2: Wilcox is really founded the whole nuclear energy industry here
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 2: and up in the northeast Ohio. Yeah, we couldn't build
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 2: any power plants. It was an assassination of our energy sector.
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 2: And this fuel tax thing. You know, you're exactly right,
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 2: We've got all this oil. Why are we paying so much?
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 2: You know, because it doesn't get passed to the people.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 2: And that's what I want to see.
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 6: I want to.
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 2: See our legislature respond to the needs of the people.
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 2: And you mentioned the property tax. What's the whole reason
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 2: that Brian Massey and those guys are trying to repeal
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 2: the property tax Because we can't get the government to
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 2: listen to us and admit that it's egregious that they're
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 2: taking way too much of our money and give it
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 2: back to us. So they're trying to force them with
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 2: a constitutional amendment. We shouldn't have to do that. It's
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 2: easier than getting a constitutional amendment. Call your legislators today
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 2: all week. Drive them crazy. Call Hoffman, call McCauley in
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 2: the Senate, call if bankerum us Wan Me and Amy
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 2: act In and say, listen, we want our money back.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 2: You took one point two billion more than you even need.
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 2: We need it. Give it back to us. Now.
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: Do you have before we part company, Tom's Alostovsky, any
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: idea where the state is in so far as signature
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: gathering for that constitutional amendment?
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 2: Well, they did, you know, if you recall, they announced
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 2: they had three hundred thousand signatures. They need like four
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifteen thousand valid signatures, but to get four
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 2: and fifteen thousand valids, you know, their goal was to
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 2: get six hundred thousand signatures. After that announcement, which is
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 2: now like six weeks ago, they've seen a surge. People
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 2: have gone to Axohio tax dot com, which is a
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 2: really nice website. If you've gone there, they lists all
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 2: the counties that tell you can click on a map
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 2: of the counties and they'll tell you where you can
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 2: go to sign up to you know, to get it
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 2: on the on the ballot. And so they've seen a surge.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know if they're going to get there, Brian.
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 2: It's a heavy lift. I'm one of the few people
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 2: alive who's ever done this when I was with the
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 2: Ohio Liberty Coalition and we did the Ohio Healthcare Amendment.
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 2: It's a heavy lift. But it's great that they're doing that.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 2: And you should go to axeohiotax dot com and check
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 2: it out and help them out because you can volunteer,
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 2: you can collect signatures. You know yourself, you can and
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 2: you can go sign yourself. But I hope they can
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 2: get it done cause I'm afraid if they don't get
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 2: it done, we're never gonna get it. Probably tax release.
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 1: Well, there certainly is that possibility, although I have some
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: measure of confidence in vv Ramasammy's pledge to roll it
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: back at least till twenty nineteen as an initial measure.
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 1: Tom's oustaus. You can go to his website We the
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 1: People Convention dot org, check it out and tune in
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 1: next week. We'll do this again next week. Tom, always
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: a pleasure having on the show man. Have a great
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: week you cuz it's time for the Insight Scoop with
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 1: bright Bart News B R E I T B A
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 1: RT dot com. Brightbart dot com. Please bookmark it. You'll
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 1: be glad you did because you get to read not
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: only the other reporting from all the other reporters there,
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: but also what White House correspondent Nick Gilbertson has to say.
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 1: Nick Gilbertson, welcome back to the fifty five Case Morning Shift.
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: Thank god you're on because maybe you can help make
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: some sense of what's going on with your onions right now.
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: Good to have you back.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, hey, Brian, thanks for having me.
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 1: All right. I try to view things objectively, and I
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: know we've been in a ceasfire now forty eight days
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: or so. And yet yesterday we launched what we call
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 1: self defense strikes targeting missile launch sites and rannie and boats.
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 1: These were defensive strikes, according to officials speaking with various
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 1: news outlets, and they do not indicate the ceasefire with
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: Iran is over, say these sources, Well, I'm sorry, if
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 1: you're throwing missiles at each other, and this has been
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 1: going on since the ceasefire was announced, doesn't that definitionly
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 1: mean there isn't one. What's your take on that, Nick,
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 1: before we move on and find out about this negotiated piece.
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Brian, I think a key part of this here
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 7: is a lot of this is going like obviously going
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 7: on in the straight of horror moves, and it's oftentimes
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 7: these small, smaller boats running around, going around the straight
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 7: and doing some of this and so, and I know
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 7: President Trump has referred to, you know, these types of
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 7: things as you know, just stopping this stuff and quelling
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 7: it as quote unquote love taps, especially when he's been
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 7: asked if there's still a ceasefire, he says, there is
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 7: still a cease fire, and these are love taps to
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 7: you know, try and keep things in negotiations moving forward.
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 7: So I think that's just part of it. And again,
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 7: you know, everything seems very fluid right now, especially with
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 7: these reports of these negotiations behind the scenes and everything
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 7: that's going on.
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 5: So we'll have to, you know, stay tuned.
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 7: But this has been you know, just depending on how
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 7: you want to defind it, but this has been you know,
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 7: kind of normalized behavior that's been going on through the
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 7: quote unquote ceasefire so well.
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 1: And as the White House News corresponded for Bright bart Nick,
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: I guess you're used to this sort of wash rints,
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 1: repeat kind of thing. I off to use phrase, and
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 1: I kind of boiled it down. It seems to me
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: like I'm reading it almost every day. The United States says,
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: but irunning officials deny fill in the subject matter. Do
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: we even know who we're negotiating with over there? Is
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: part of the problem with affective negotiation that we can't
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: really effectively deal with the Iranian officials because they're all
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 1: hiding out in bunkers somewhere because they're afraid they're gonna
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 1: get blown up like somebody that preceded them. I guess
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: I'm really wondering where this is going. And a lot
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 1: of people suggesting that Donald Trump is willing to sort
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: of capitulate on some of the key elements he was
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 1: demanding in order to get the straight of horror moves
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 1: back open and take the pain out of the world's economy.
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, that's some great points there.
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 7: I think a key part of this, you know, I
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 7: think they want to keep the or get the straight
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 7: open and keep the straight open. And you know, I
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 7: know the President has been adamant about no tolls being
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 7: charged in the straight and I know, in terms of
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 7: negotiations and who we're negotiating with, I think, for one,
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 7: the communications are seriously fragmented among the Iranians and the IRGC, so,
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 7: you know, and.
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 5: There was reporting over the weekend.
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 7: Of course, you know, you had the President of Iran
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 7: come out and say, uh, you know, say that they're
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 7: determined to show the world that they don't want to
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 7: pursue nuclear ambitions anymore. And also you have reporting from
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 7: CBS DO senior White House correspondent Jennifer Jacobs that the
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 7: current Supreme Leader, Mochtaba Kameny allegedly or apparently reportedly signed
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 7: off for green lit. You know, this framework of a
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 7: deal that was proposed over the weekend, so it you know,
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 7: war is messy, and of course this is a messy war,
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 7: and it's a you know, negotiations I'm sure aren't going
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 7: to be perfect here at the end, and and everything's
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 7: still very fluid. But I think the fact that you're
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 7: dealing with Kameny, you're dealing with you know, the president
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 7: of Iran, and of course you know the reporting from
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 7: Jacobs too, there is that well commeny green litted.
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 5: It still needs to make its way through Iranian leadership.
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 7: But I think, you know, President Trump is going at
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 7: this very optimistically. I know he's an optimistic guy, and
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 7: he thinks, you know, he's confident he can strike a
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 7: deal here. But me and I'm sure he's been you know,
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 7: rather frustrated, and you've seen him get rather frustrated and
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 7: openly talk about how you know, Iran says one thing
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 7: behind the scenes and then publicly.
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 5: They're doing a different thing.
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 7: So yeah, again, we'll just have to see how this
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 7: all plays out here and whether or not they can
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 7: come to a deal, yeah this week or in the
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 7: near future.
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: Obviously, the problem is getting shifts to the straight of
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: horror moves, and the Iranians were caught, I guess planning
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 1: more minds the other day. It's some of the targets
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 1: that we just we bombed yesterday. Therein lies a challenge,
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 1: It's been my observation and no military planner am I.
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 1: But if you could open the straight of horror moves
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 1: using the United States military might or whatever mechanism you
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 1: might need, don't you think they would have gone down
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 1: that road already? The challenge seems to be that the Iranians,
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 1: as demonstra by the fact that we just bombed a
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 1: whole bunch of more missile sites and boats yesterday, they
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 1: have a lot of missiles and boats and drones, and
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 1: they are capable of in a very small stretch of
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 1: sea to effectively bomb any boats or US military hardware
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 1: that goes through it. If they couldn't do that, don't
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 1: you think we would have tried to open the straight
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 1: of hormones along those lines? By now?
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 7: Absolutely, I know I agree with that, and I think
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 7: that's the key part of the negotiation here in one
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 7: of the red lines and one of the sticking points
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 7: to you know, getting a deal across the finish line
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 7: is Iran has to come along in good faith and
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 7: stop this stuff to open the straight right because you know,
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 7: these boats aren't going to want to go through these
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 7: these massive tankers and shuggers and whatnot, especially.
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 5: When you have minds being laid.
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 7: And you know, I know, part of the problem, even
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 7: the President was saying probably you know a few weeks back,
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 7: was that you know what, they don't even know where
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 7: they've dropped some of these mines, right right, So these
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 7: are all these are all you know, major problems, you know,
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 7: in terms of getting a deal across the finish line.
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 7: But it remains to be ye seen if Iran will
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 7: actually come around and sign onto.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 1: This a massive cleanup effort that one I think and
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 1: I could. I think I'm safe. And so they're probably
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 1: still experiencing land mines that were planted in Vietnam, you
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's tough to get rid of
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 1: them once they're hidden and planet. Well, the other component
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 1: of this is it looks it sounds to me like
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 1: we may be losing some of the support of our
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 1: Middle Eastern friends like the Saudi Arabians because of the missiles,
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: and if Iran is able to keep any or all
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 1: of them, they will continue to represent a threat to
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 1: their neighbors. The desalination plants are the real big problem
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 1: right now. I mean, without desalination plants in Saudi Arabia,
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 1: the people will have no water and that would be
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 1: a horrific humanitarian crisis. The Iranians don't care about humanitarian issues.
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 7: Absolutely, yeah, they if they were to start going after
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 7: these decyle plants are just civilian infrastructure, right, Yeah, you
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 7: create a major major humanitarian issues. Especially you know, it's
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 7: essentially the desert over there, right so if you if
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 7: you take out some of these key core infrastructure that
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 7: you know, sustain human life out there every day, those
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 7: are major problems.
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 5: But I think that you know, that gives these.
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 7: Middle Eastern partners incentives obviously to do everything that they
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 7: can to try and to try and get this over
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 7: with and across the finish line.
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 5: And that of course that's easier said than done.
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 7: Of course, with all those examples we just laid out,
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 7: whether it be the minds or you know, these the
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 7: threat of Iran you know apparently having maybe some more
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 7: capabilities than was initially thought here as well.
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 5: So yeah, it remains to be seen.
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 7: But I think the other day, you know too, I
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 7: think yesterday it was pretty interesting to me that the
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 7: President like it. We don't know exactly what's going on
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 7: behind the scenes in terms of these negotiations.
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 5: We know some things.
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 7: We know that the President thinks that the framework a
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 7: deal has largely been agreed to, at least he said
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 7: on Saturday, and yesterday he came out and he was
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 7: pushing for, you know, all these Middle Eastern partners to
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 7: actually join in the Abraham Accords. And I think one
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 7: thing to me that that might tell me behind the
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 7: scenes is that he's a lot You know, he's pretty
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 7: close to a deal if he is focusing on this
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 7: aspect right rather than kind of using using the stick
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 7: on I Ran to try and get a RAN. You know,
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 7: the fact that the focus has moved a bit to now, Okay, well,
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 7: I want these countries to join the Abraham Accords as
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 7: part of a deal. I think is a good indicator
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 7: and a positive sign.
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 1: Is listen, I'll take it all day long. And I
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 1: thought one of the greatest things that Trump did in
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 1: his first administration was the Abraham Accords, and he should
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 1: have netted him a Nobel Peace Prize because he got
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 1: Arab countries to play nice and acknowledge a relationship with Israel.
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 1: Are the other Arab nations ready to do that? I
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 1: don't really think the ira and sponsors of all the
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 1: terrorist organizations and that are constantly going after the Israelis
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 1: in an effort to wipe them off the face of
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 1: the earth. Iran is never going to consent to it.
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 1: Abraham a tour accord like agreement that acknowledges Israel. Are they?
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 7: I think Iran is much like Leslie, But I'm more
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 7: so talking about like the countries like Tatar Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt,
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 7: you know, these Middle Eastern partners that you know are
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 7: part of the modern world and allies with the United States,
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 7: but not necessarily involved with the Abraham Accords, like say
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 7: the UAE or Bahrain. But you know, and the fact
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 7: that the presidents put like has shifted his focus to
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 7: these countries, specifically trying to get them on board, you know,
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 7: signals to me potentially that he's pretty confident in where
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 7: things stand in.
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 5: A peace deal with Iran.
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 7: He also did mention, you know, the possibility of bringing
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 7: Iran in. I don't know, like you just said, how
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 7: likely that is, especially given you know, the culture of
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 7: Iran over the past fifty years. And and you know,
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 7: especially where this is a theocracy right that hates the
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 7: United States of America inherently, you know, to to the
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 7: very core of its bones.
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 5: But you know, it's.
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 7: Interesting and I do think in a way too, Brian,
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 7: because I did ask the President about this a few
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 7: weeks ago, just you know, to see where he kind
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 7: of views things. I asked him if, like, in the
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 7: endgame here, if he envisions in Iran, And again this
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 7: goes to you know, O Ran would have to want
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 7: to sign on to being part of the modern world
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 7: here and join the you know, the global economy.
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 5: But I did ask the President if in you know, his.
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 7: Endgame, he envisions a future in which, like US, energy
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 7: companies are operating inside of Iran, much like Venezuela. And
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 7: he did tell me could be. So I think in
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 7: his mind potentially that that is where you know, things
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 7: could be going, or he would like to see things
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 7: go in a perfect world. And that kind of tracks
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 7: with what he was saying yesterday about potentially you know,
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 7: bringing our Ran into the Abraham Accords. Now there's of course,
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 7: what you know, the future he envisions and the future
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 7: that we're actually in a gat and we'll see if
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 7: you know they are, you know, work in concert and
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 7: jive here down the line.
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 1: Well, what's your take on Donald Trump, because of course
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 1: it seems to be largely in his hands what we
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 1: end up agreeing on or not agreeing on. As the
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 1: case maybe and as the current quote unquote agreement stands,
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 1: as as far as the details have been leaked, we
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 1: maybe really, you know, give them some financial relief of
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 1: some of the sanctions will stop the blockade. They're going
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 1: to open up the straight the Iranians will, and then
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 1: the nuclear discussions will just continue in an ongoing negotiation
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 1: discussions maybe sixty days or more. It seems to me
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 1: that Iran is painfully where of Donald Trump's political precarious
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 1: situation as we go fast into November. It's not a
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 1: popular war. People are dealing with the economic challenges brought
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 1: about by it. He has a huge incentive to back
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 1: down on his line in the sand demands. But would
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump do that? And if you think he wouldn't,
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 1: then isn't the next move then escalation, which carries with
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 1: it its own political challenges and amazing obligation on the
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 1: part of the American military. To have to basically put
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 1: boots on the ground and get in there and get
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 1: our own uranium out of there. And it just the
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 1: extent of the war and how long that would take
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 1: and the cost of lives, it can't be understated. But
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 1: what do you think about Donald Trump and his perception
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 1: of his options right now?
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, look, I think if the President was worried,
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 7: you know, politically about these things, he would probably have
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 7: waited until after midterms to go ahead and do this.
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 7: I think he went ahead and did it before midterms
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 7: because he's not necessarily, you know, as concerned, and you know,
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 7: obviously there's going to probably be some major implications midterms here,
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 7: especially with the results of gas prices that Americans you know,
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 7: are paying higher gas prices as a result of this war,
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 7: you know, significantly higher than they're paying a few months ago.
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 7: But I think in his mind, you know, I don't
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 7: know how much, uh, you know, the threat of losing
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 7: the House or Congress or something like that in November
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 7: is factoring into you know, him trying to put push
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 7: a deal across the finish line.
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 5: Maybe it is, you know, it absolutely could be.
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 7: It would definitely behoove him and behoove Republicans to get
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 7: a deal done and across the finish line. But do
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 7: I don't necessarily think he's gonna you know, capitulate and
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 7: and you know, draw back on his red lines that
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 7: you know he's repeatedly you know put forward, uh, you
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 7: know since the beginning of this war. I right, you know,
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 7: destroy Iran's navy, take out their missile capabilities, and sure
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 7: they can't have a nuclear weapon, and you know, ensure
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 7: that they can't fund their proxies anymore. So what you know,
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 7: I think if you potentially you know the possibility of
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 7: putting the nuclear or punting rather the nuclear talks down
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 7: the line, you know, we'll we'll have to see exactly
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 7: how that works out. But I know the President has
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 7: said the United States and China are the only countries
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 7: that could actually feasibly go.
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 5: In and take this nuclear material out.
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 7: And I'm curious if you know, there's potentially a world
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 7: maybe you know, where one of those countries goes in
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 7: and can actually you know, take out this enriched uranium
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 7: that's at four Donaton's an s Fahan.
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 5: But again, you know, we'll have to see.
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 7: But yeah, I think, I I you know, It's interesting
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 7: to me, you know, how much politics is actually playing
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 7: into you know, the president's steelmaking right now.
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 1: For sure, Brian, without question, it sounds to me swirling
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 1: amid all this. The only solution ultimately is a regime
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 1: change with an administration over in Iran that is willing
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 1: to give up these outrageous, you know, goals that they're
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 1: trying to like achieve, like, for example, getting a nuclear
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 1: bomb in return for peace and better economic realities for them,
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 1: happiness for their people. There's a lot of good reasons
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 1: to want to do that, but it sounds like regime
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 1: chain is all going to come around with the protracted, long,
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 1: boots on the ground type of war. And I don't
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 1: think the American public has has the appetite for that, Honestly, No.
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 7: I don't think the American public has any appetite for that.
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 7: I think too, I think, you know, if the President
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 7: was to put boots on the ground, I wouldn't be
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 7: surprised to immediately see him begin losing support among mega
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 7: specifically and among Republicans, especially after everything that's gone, you know,
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 7: went down in the world that's we've lived in for
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 7: the past twenty years, with these forever Wars I went
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 7: through in Iraq and Afghanistan. You know, Yeah, No, I
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 7: think that's and I think that's the last thing the
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 7: president wants to do, right I exactly thing he wants
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 7: to do is put boots on the ground.
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 7: I think he obviously he opers rates with all options
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 7: on the table, but I you know, he hasn't done
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 7: it yet, and I think there's been, you know, opportunities
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 7: where he definitely could have done it, and you know,
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 7: there were times when he was I think, probably weighing it.
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 7: I think at one point in you know, late March,
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 7: there was you know, I think fifteen hundred marines on
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 7: their way over to the Middle East, right, And so
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 7: there were moments throughout where he could have put it
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 7: on the ground.
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 5: He didn't. I think it's the last thing he wants
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 5: to do.
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 7: That being said, he does keep all options on the table,
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 7: but I do think if you know, something happens there
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 7: that would be very you know, not great for him
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 7: politically and certainly among.
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 1: The base since he did campaign on no More Forever Wars.
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 1: Breitbart News White House corresponding Nick Gilberts in great analysis
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 1: from you today. I appreciate what you're doing over at
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 1: Breitbart each and every day. Keep up the great work
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 1: and we'll do another insight scoop next Tuesday. We'll talk
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 1: again real soon. Nick. Thanks, Brian had A bless you
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 1: do the same. A twenty three right now if you
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 1: have Kerse the Talks and Daniel Davis Deep Dive fifty
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 1: five the talk station A twenty nine to fifty five
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 1: KRC the talk station. I it's Tuesday. It's that time
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 1: of week we get the Daniel Davis Deep Dive. Retired
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 1: Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis joins a fifty five KRC Morning
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 1: should have brought his military expertise and knowledge. Of course,
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 1: today we're gonna be focusing on iron as we have
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 1: been for weeks and weeks now. Welcome back, Daniel Davis.
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 1: It's always a pleasure to having on the morning show
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 1: and always a pleasure to be here. Brian, thanks for
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 1: having me thought about you. I read Gerard Baker's history
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 1: repeats in iran op ed piece quote it isn't unpatriotic
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 1: to express skepticism about our ability to fight and win
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 1: this kind of war, of course, and I think that's
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 1: an accurate statement. Since I've been listening to you for
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 1: such a long time, spreading a dose of realism. It's
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 1: easy to say we got the biggest military in the world.
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 1: But when you look at the reality of even what
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 1: happened yesterday, what do we do. We well, did some
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 1: defensive strikes, but we bombed missile sites, and we bombed
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 1: the boats and other of these these resources that apparently
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 1: has tons of if you keep pointing out and when
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 1: you pivot over to the idea that Saudis have to
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 1: contemplate this. If we can't resolve some sort of peace,
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 1: which sounds like it's being discussed, they're going to get
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 1: their desalination plants get hit, They're going to have their
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 1: infrastructure get hit. They have enough resources of the Runtians
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 1: do to blow up lots and lots of really important targets,
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 1: And I would say the desalination plants. That's a humanitarian
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 1: problem for the Saudis. They're not going to have drinking water.
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 1: So the realities of just saying we're going to fight
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 1: and win not as simple as you, Daniel Davis, have
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 1: been pointing out now for quite some time. So where
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 1: are we on this is it? I do you think
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump is willing to, like not push for an
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 1: unconditional surrender, but go ahead and agree to this. What
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 1: sounds like the framework at least has been reached to
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 1: open the ports back up, open the straight of horror
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 1: moves back up. And then let's talk longer about the
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 1: nuclear program. That's about what we've got this this morning.
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 1: Although some sides are saying yes and some sites are
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 1: saying no. And of course everything comes with the United States, says,
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 1: but Iranian officials deny kind of caveats to it. I
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 1: know that's a lot to unpackage, Daniel, but we've got
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 1: a lot to unpackage right now.
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 12: Yeah, and let's just start with the military aspect of it.
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 12: This is absolutely an unwinnable military problem for the United States.
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 12: It doesn't matter if you look at the spreadsheets of
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 12: who's got more power on the other side, and it's
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 12: well overwhelmingly in our favor. Our budgeted last year was
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 12: one trillion. Theires was about twelve billion. I think something
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 12: like that, just a fraction of ours. Of course, their
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 12: stuff is antiquated, they don't have much of it, et cetera,
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 12: but they have what is necessary to defend their country.
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 12: Our military problem is so much greater than the Iranian
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 12: military problem. That it's hard to overstate because you have geography.
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 12: Not only is it a country that it's about as
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 12: big as Western Europe, but it's also got the entire
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 12: western nearly half of the country is a massive series
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 12: of mountain ranges. Is not just making it nearly effectively
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 12: impossible to invade on a ground route, which is why
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 12: we never even contemplated put in the ground force, but
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 12: it also makes it nearly impossible to win in the
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 12: air because they have all these underground bunkers in granite mountains.
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 1: And I've been inside one of our granite mountain.
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 12: Complexes which is designed to survive a nuclear blast when
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 12: I was on active duty, and they're basically constructed the
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 12: same way, so you're never going to get them off
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 12: of there. So it doesn't matter how many missions we
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 12: have because we can't penetrate in that far into the mountains.
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 12: So they're going to maintain the ability to do as
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 12: you suggested a second ago hit desalinization plants oil into structure, energy, infrastructure,
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 12: gas fields, you name it, if we restart this war,
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 12: and that gives them tremendous negotiating leverage, and they very
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 12: well know it, and so now then we're stuck with
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 12: what can President Trump do? We should I of course
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 12: argue we shouldn't have ever started this war, but we have.
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 12: So now we have what we have, how then are
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 12: we going to get out of it? Iran this morning
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 12: saying listen, we want to negotiated centum. This blockade and
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 12: the attacks from the first forty days have genuinely caused
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 12: a lot of harm and pain for the Iranian side,
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 12: and they want They have a lot of motivation to
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 12: get this off, but they don't want to have to
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 12: come back and do this again six months from now,
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 12: nine months from now, whenever we're an Israel Is ready
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 12: to attack again from their perspective, So they say, listen,
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 12: I want like at least twelve billion dollars of my
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 12: funds released upfront, sanctions relief that are going to be
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 12: phased in as we go through the negotiations, and then
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 12: we have a two phase proper process from the Iranian side.
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 12: One is to get the strad opened up, which they
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 12: say they'll do with caveats, they want the reprocessing, etc.
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 12: And then once we get past that part, then we'll
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 12: start talking about the negotiation for nuclear program, et cetera,
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 12: which they say is on the table. So that's a
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 12: positive thing, but that means President Trump has to do
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 12: something that he's been mocking even as of last night
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 12: on True Social which is Obama gave billions in cash
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 12: to Ukraine or to Iran, et cetera in the twenty
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 12: fifteen deal, but now Iran is saying, we've got to
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 12: have even more of that before we'll even start negotiations
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 12: on Phase one. That is the big problem we face
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 12: right now.
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 1: It really is. And all of this absent you know,
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 1: total regime change, you know, pivoting, aside from whether you know,
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 1: they get some cash up front, which would be an
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 1: embarrassment to I think everybody, or straight opens up and
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 1: we let their ports open up first, which would help
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 1: everybody to a large degree deal with his backup of
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 1: shipping and everything. And then let's just say that happens. Though,
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 1: is Donald Trump willing to get less than or take
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 1: less than he's been promising in order to get himself
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 1: out of these problems that we all are dealing with
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 1: with with regard of the ripple effect in the economy,
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 1: And I think more importantly, recognizing that absent regime change,
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 1: which of course would require all the military complexities you
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 1: just mentioned and so much more. The Iranians know that
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 1: at any time, on a going forward basis, they could
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 1: close the straight up hoor moves back down because they've
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 1: done it before and they know they can do it again.
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 12: Well, that's exactly the point. And I think that they,
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 12: in fact they're saying this morning, we will never go
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 12: back to the pre war conditions that the straight of
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 12: horror moves can be open, and we'll have it completely
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 12: open as long as everybody pays a fee. They say,
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 12: it's not a toll, let's be accurate, it's a fee.
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 12: But whatever they're saying, yeah, we will never relinquish control
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 12: of this. So whatever agreement you think you're going to
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 12: come up with America, it needs to include that or
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 12: there's not going to be a deal on top of
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 12: the money and everything else. And that's just what It's
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 12: hard to imagine why they would ever go back on that,
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 12: with that leverage in their hand, to just relinquish it
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 12: with no nothing but a word or promise from our side,
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 12: because our word hasn't been very good here in the
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 12: last two years, with the wars that we started in
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 12: twenty five and twenty six, So that's kind of where
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 12: we're at also on the difficulty side. But for President Trump,
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 12: he is really I think, digging himself a deeper hole
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 12: right now, making it more difficult because he keeps mocking
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 12: stuff from the Obama deal in twenty fifteen. But he's
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 12: gonna have to do something that's kind of like it
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 12: or he's not going to succeed. And his base is
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 12: well aware of this. And in fact, this I guess
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 12: it was I think it was this morning. Jack Keene
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 12: was on there saying, do not make a deal, mister President.
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 12: Don't do it, because they wouldn't live up to it,
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 12: et cetera. There's no trust on either side. But the
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 12: problem is there's gonna have to be Brian because if
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 12: we don't, I'm tired of paying ninety five dollars for
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 12: a tank of gas.
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for a wiscar, you know what I'm saying.
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 12: And it's only gonna get worse if we don't get
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 12: this thing open with pretty quick.
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 1: Well in speed of the twenty fifteen deal. I mean,
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 1: the the Iranians can't be trusted either. They were supposed
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 1: to limit their uranium production and they built more centrifuges,
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 1: and they push more toward getting a nuclear weapon, and
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 1: Hans Blix would go in from time to time and
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 1: give us some you know, strongly worded letter and nothing
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 1: would happen, and they just continue to go down their
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 1: merry way, also while continuing to fund proxy terrorist organization.
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 1: So you know, the regime is evil and bad. I
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 1: think we can all collectively agree on that. But what
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 1: I don't It doesn't sound like we can really accomplish anything.
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 1: And oddly enough, they seem like they have the upper
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 1: hand right now, Daniel Davis, which I think could that
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 1: be contemplated at the outset of this? I know you
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 1: didn't want to launch this for at the outset, but
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 1: is that something that you think the administration contemplated, that
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 1: Iran would have an upper hand to this end?
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 2: They should have.
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 12: I've spoken a couple of several times with Joe Kent
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 12: after he resigned from the ODE and I uh, and
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 12: he confirmed to me that absolutely that the President was
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 12: told by a number of people, senior intelligence, senior military people.
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 12: They said, the likelihood is that if you if you strike,
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 12: they're going to take control of the straight of horror
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 12: moves and they may never relinquish it. So he was
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 12: told by other people. They said, no, they won't do that,
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 12: or else we can take it from him. He listened
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 12: to the people who told him what he wanted to hear. Unfortunately,
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 12: and so that's why we got in. Now I would
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 12: I would take a bit of an issue with the
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 12: claim that Ukraine Iran, you know, continued to break all
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 12: their promises and reprocess et cetera. They only did that
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 12: after we got out.
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 1: Of the deal.
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 12: So when they were in the deal, they largely kept
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 12: to it. And every time they Hans Blix and some
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 12: of these other folks would wreck acknowledge someplace they were out,
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 12: they would bring it back into compliance until we left it.
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 12: And even when they went up to twenty percent and
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 12: then sixty percent, they said they would go back to
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 12: the three point sixty seven percent if we would go
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 12: back to the JCP away. So there is that, and
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 12: we of course would never do that once we started it.
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 12: And now then again we are where we are. Whether
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 12: we should have been or shouldn't have been doesn't matter.
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 12: Now this is where we are, and how are we
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 12: going to get.
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 1: Out of it? Well, and one more point, I want
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 1: to ask you about Daniel Davis before we part. Coming
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 1: to hey, coming today. The whole idea of getting the
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 1: various Arab nations together under one big Abraham Accord. I
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 1: love the idea conceptually. It's beautiful. Everybody can trade and
• 2:08:45
  Speaker 1: play nicely with you each other. Nobody's gonna be dropping
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 1: bombs on each other then, and everybody gets to keep
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 1: their own country. Fine. What's the likelihood that the I know,
• 2:08:53
  Speaker 1: the Iranians would never accept peace with the Israel. They
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 1: hate Israel, they want to eradicate them from the map.
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 1: But the other Arab Nationians who haven't yet signed on
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 1: to the Abraham Accords, are they going to give up
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 1: their animosity hatred toward the whole concept of Israel being there?
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 12: Yeah, Actually, Saudi Arabia is That's kind of the lynchpin,
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 12: and that's what both Israel and the United States have
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 12: been chasing after since the Abraham Accords were first announced,
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 12: and Saudi Arabia has always said.
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 1: They are open to the idea.
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 12: They would be willing to if and this is the
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 12: big if Israel recognizes a Palestinian state in the in
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 12: Gaza and in the West Bank and gives freedom to
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 12: the people. They said, that's our non negotiable requirement, and
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 12: then we want to and then others would fall in place.
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 1: There is a deal to be had there.
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 12: There is an expansion of the Abraham Accords, which could
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 12: bring a lot of peace to the region, but it
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 12: comes with for what right now is the Israeli political
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 12: poison pill of having anything to do with a Palestinian state.
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 12: They won't even contemplate that. So that is dead on
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 12: arrival because Saudi Arabia is emphatic that they will not
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 12: compromise on that point. There's other things that they can
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 12: work with and they desire and overall, but they won't
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 12: compromise on that, and right now Israel won't either, So
• 2:10:06
  Speaker 12: the whole thing is dead.
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 1: So if the Saudi proposal were to go through, and
• 2:10:10
  Speaker 1: I know how much of an asked that is, you
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 1: establish a Palestine, the state and the regents you talked about,
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 1: Saudi Arabi they come over to the idea of Abraham Accords.
• 2:10:17
  Speaker 1: Does that bring with them the various other Arab nations?
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 1: Is that concession by the part on the Israeli part
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 1: work for all the other countries, presumably with the exception
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 1: of the Iranians. Oh no, I think it does.
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 12: I think that most other countries also want that as well.
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 1: They would love to live in.
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 12: Peace and man, all these GCC countries that have been
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 12: hit this war, they want nothing more than for all
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 12: the reasons for war to be off the table so
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 12: they can just do business, sell oil, get money from it,
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 12: and take care of their population. They would love that.
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 12: But that's a pretty big problem that so far has
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 12: never been solved.
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 1: And I presume that Asbala would then therefore forward from
• 2:10:54
  Speaker 1: that point forward be defunded. Asbala wouldn't get what it
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 1: wants with the eradication of Israel, but all the other
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 1: countries probably would stop funding the terrorists network.
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 12: I think that, and this is this is not commonly
• 2:11:04
  Speaker 12: thought about here, but both Hamas and especially uh Hezebola
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 12: and the Hoothies, they are both on record as saying
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 12: they are fighting because of what's happening with the Palaced
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 12: innings in the West Bank and in the Godza strip.
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 12: If that gets solved, and the Hoothies have shown they've
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 12: done this, when when Israel has done what it said
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 12: on you know, the ceasefires or whatever, they backed off,
• 2:11:24
