0:07
Speaker 1: Five o five at fifty five KRC the talk station Friday. Yay,
0:16
Speaker 1: end of the work weeks here some.
0:23
Speaker 2: Will I had no idea what's going on?
0:31
Speaker 1: Well, neither are our elected officials. Fake congratulations. Forty trillion dollars.
0:34
Speaker 1: We finally reached the mark boy head in that direction
0:36
Speaker 1: north north more. I think we have a spending problem. Yeah, anyhow,
0:44
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas right here, glad to be looking up the
0:46
Speaker 1: screen here, noting that Jost Tracker is where he belongs to.
0:49
Speaker 1: Stucker executiveduced of the fifty five KRC morning. She'll like
0:51
Speaker 1: give him credit all the time, because, of course without
0:53
Speaker 1: him the show we wouldn't be here. Congressman Warren Davidson
0:56
Speaker 1: wouldn't be here without Judetrecker, and of course his willingness
0:58
Speaker 1: to come on the program. It's just a delight for
0:59
Speaker 1: me and I hope you appreciate hearing from Congressman David's
1:02
Speaker 1: in seven h five is when he joins the program.
1:04
Speaker 1: We've got a huge list of things that go over
1:06
Speaker 1: with Congressman Davidson this morning, and the growing issue of
1:10
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence data centers. Man, I'm telling you that issue
1:14
Speaker 1: is really causing people to do some crazy things in
1:17
Speaker 1: so far as what they're going to vote for. It's
1:20
Speaker 1: not the only thing in the world, you know, AI.
1:22
Speaker 1: The Democrats have latched onto these data centers and they
1:25
Speaker 1: are using it to their advantage because of course, being
1:28
Speaker 1: business minded people and profit generating and tax generating through profits,
1:33
Speaker 1: Republicans tend to be more pro business. Right well, Democrats
1:36
Speaker 1: don't like business, even though they love the taxes they
1:38
Speaker 1: take from businesses to fund their socialist ideology. The data
1:42
Speaker 1: centers have become a real problem. And this center race
1:48
Speaker 1: here with Sharon Brown, Houston Chary Brown making John Houston
1:52
Speaker 1: the face of artificial intelligence data centers. Anyway, more on
1:56
Speaker 1: that later, but Congressman davids And maybe can chime in
1:58
Speaker 1: on that. But some of the topics you want. Let's
2:00
Speaker 1: talk about the repealing the Corporate Transparency Act. It's a
2:04
Speaker 1: goal of Congressman Davidson, saying that business owners believe that
2:09
Speaker 1: the corp Transparency Acts invaser privacy under threats of jail
2:14
Speaker 1: time and fines. Quite the civil libertarian, Congressman Davidson, what
2:20
Speaker 1: else privacy fis the section seven oh two big concern
2:23
Speaker 1: for all of us out here in the name of
2:24
Speaker 1: privacy and the fact that it does violate the Fourth
2:26
Speaker 1: Amendment right to be free of unreasonable searches and caizuars.
2:29
Speaker 1: Congressman Davidson on the right side of that one big
2:32
Speaker 1: fight the House over reform versus a clean reauthorization because
2:36
Speaker 1: apparently the court orders remain in effect through March of
2:39
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven on the FISA section seven oh two.
2:44
Speaker 1: So Congressman Davidson pushing for warrants, which is what the
2:47
Speaker 1: Constitution requires. Probable cause, issue a warrant. You suspect criminal activity,
2:52
Speaker 1: present evidence to the judge justifies the issuance of a
2:55
Speaker 1: search warrant. Fine, we can do that. Also the Clarity Act.
3:00
Speaker 1: We'll see if we can get all these topics in
3:01
Speaker 1: With Congressman Davidson, he suggests that the United States needs
3:05
Speaker 1: clear digital asset rules that protect self custs. Did appeer
3:08
Speaker 1: to peer transactions into privacy, and we should not see
3:11
Speaker 1: the lead on crypto to the Chinese Communist Party, which
3:13
Speaker 1: is the same argument that goes with artificial intelligence. Plus
3:17
Speaker 1: the National Firearms Act is thrown out by the courts
3:20
Speaker 1: at least in one district. Question, will the dog DJ
3:23
Speaker 1: appeal that decision? Apparently just yesterday, DJ said, no, it's
3:29
Speaker 1: gonna let it stand. So you can say it sounds
3:31
Speaker 1: like you can say goodbye to the NFA. That will
3:33
Speaker 1: be the one that requires you to register with the
3:37
Speaker 1: federal government your purchase of a suppressor or what they
3:40
Speaker 1: call short barrel rifles, among other things. That short bail
3:44
Speaker 1: rifle thing, historically is such an arbitrary determination. Is it
3:47
Speaker 1: like sixteen or eighteen inch barrel? If it's less than that,
3:51
Speaker 1: then it's considered a short bail rifle. And you got
3:53
Speaker 1: used to have to pay a two hundred dollars fine
3:54
Speaker 1: in you know, finger printing and registering the serial number
3:57
Speaker 1: and all that with the federal government. Well, corn to
3:59
Speaker 1: the court, the appellate courts, which threw that out. No,
4:03
Speaker 1: the lynchpin for that being upheld in the first place,
4:06
Speaker 1: the NFA was the tax that they used to charge.
4:09
Speaker 1: Because the Congress, or because the federal government does have
4:12
Speaker 1: the power of taxation, you throw the tax out, which
4:14
Speaker 1: the one big Beautiful Bill did. There is no payment
4:18
Speaker 1: obligation ergo, there is no longer a need to go
4:21
Speaker 1: through the registration process. So since the DJ said it
4:25
Speaker 1: wouldn't be appealing that ruling, you can expect that ruling
4:28
Speaker 1: to be adopted in other districts, or maybe ultimately the
4:32
Speaker 1: Supreme Court will enshrine that so it covers everybody in
4:34
Speaker 1: the United States. I have a positive direction on that one.
4:38
Speaker 1: Also on the fifty five KRC Morning show, V. Vague Ramaswami,
4:42
Speaker 1: if he got the memo, he is running for the
4:44
Speaker 1: governor of the state of Ohio, a demonstrably better candidate
4:47
Speaker 1: than any lock Down Acting. We'll get his thoughts and
4:52
Speaker 1: comments about how the campaign's going, maybe his response now
4:55
Speaker 1: we know nobody believes in polls anymore. I understand that sadly,
5:00
Speaker 1: if you even look at the polls and suggest that
5:03
Speaker 1: they may be some measure or some barometer of how
5:06
Speaker 1: the race is going. He is neck and neck with
5:08
Speaker 1: Amy Acting, which is mind blowing for me. I mean,
5:12
Speaker 1: just on paper, he's so demonstrably better qualified to run
5:16
Speaker 1: the entire state than Amy Acting. I don't even believe
5:19
Speaker 1: this could be a I can't believe that it's even
5:22
Speaker 1: a choice for some people. So we'll talk with him
5:25
Speaker 1: about that. We'll get his thoughts on fraud, waste, and abuse,
5:27
Speaker 1: which of course is alive and well in Ohio, but
5:29
Speaker 1: also maybe get a comment or two about the artificial
5:31
Speaker 1: intelligence issue which is dominating the landscape across this country.
5:34
Speaker 1: Jay Ratliffe iHeartMedia aviation expert Jay Rattlift. He'll join the
5:40
Speaker 1: program at eight thirty, as he does every Friday. Eve
5:44
Speaker 1: got some good things to talk about with Jay Ratlift too.
5:46
Speaker 1: We always do, apparently insofar as aviation news. In spite
5:53
Speaker 1: of the fact that gas prices have gone up and
5:55
Speaker 1: they are still on the rise, this is obviously another
5:58
Speaker 1: issue that is dominating the political landscape as we approach November.
6:02
Speaker 1: The course war with Iran is causing the prices to
6:05
Speaker 1: go up. Now. I know there's been widely reported stories
6:08
Speaker 1: or it's widely reported that we're actually getting some boats
6:12
Speaker 1: or ships through the straight of Horror moves with the
6:14
Speaker 1: US military help, but it's returned to about half of
6:17
Speaker 1: the volume of pre war levels. Of course, not quite enough,
6:24
Speaker 1: but they are helping to get some of the crewed
6:26
Speaker 1: out and also additional sanctions. This is kind of a
6:29
Speaker 1: strange one, but real quick on you think on aviation
6:34
Speaker 1: in spite of the fact that ticket prices have gone
6:36
Speaker 1: up and aviation fuel of course driving that we're on
6:41
Speaker 1: track to match a record in terms of air travel
6:43
Speaker 1: this year, so apparently people able to absorb the additional
6:47
Speaker 1: costs you want to fly, people are flying anyway. I
6:52
Speaker 1: going to this running thing. I'm scratching my head over this.
6:55
Speaker 1: In my immediate reaction headline, Trump threatens her on with
6:58
Speaker 1: Economic d Day, and he went and elaborated on this yesterday,
7:02
Speaker 1: vowing to well unleash what he was calling Economic Dday
7:05
Speaker 1: on Iran because of course we've had lack of progress
7:08
Speaker 1: in dealing with the straight up Hoord moves, opening and
7:10
Speaker 1: ending the war and meeting our demands. What's going on
7:14
Speaker 1: with the nuclear weapons and the nuclear program in Iran
7:17
Speaker 1: seems to be it's pivoted over to less about that
7:19
Speaker 1: and more about just going back to the pre war
7:23
Speaker 1: open straits reality so we can get rid of this economic,
7:26
Speaker 1: crushing economic problem that we're facing, which exactly what he called.
7:31
Speaker 1: He said, President said it would be the most crushing
7:33
Speaker 1: economic operation ever taken against any country. And you know
7:37
Speaker 1: he's serious about that because it's all in capitals with
7:40
Speaker 1: an exclamation point, So it didn't specifically say what we
7:48
Speaker 1: are going to do in addition to the already heavy
7:50
Speaker 1: sanctions that we've lovied on Tehran but if there's something
7:53
Speaker 1: else that we can do, and I have to imagine
7:56
Speaker 1: there is since he made this an asthma yesterday. United
7:59
Speaker 1: Arab Emirates, by the way, said yesterday or Tuesday that
8:01
Speaker 1: it had suspended financial and economic transactions with the RN.
8:04
Speaker 1: That's a big development because they were facilitated facilitating some
8:07
Speaker 1: of these economic transactions. So one more on our side
8:10
Speaker 1: in the ever lengthening, growing long conflict with Iran. So
8:16
Speaker 1: what else is there to do. Let's say there are
8:18
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of different sanctions and other targets we
8:21
Speaker 1: can go after to bring more economic disaster to Iran.
8:27
Speaker 1: They're already struggling mightily, but they're used to that question.
8:32
Speaker 1: That went through my mind immediately. Why didn't we do
8:36
Speaker 1: that first? One of the problems that Trump administration is having,
8:44
Speaker 1: and it's rubbing off on all these other races as
8:47
Speaker 1: we approach November, is the fact that he kind of
8:50
Speaker 1: turned his back on the promise that we were not
8:51
Speaker 1: going to get any more wars. You know, it's one
8:57
Speaker 1: thing if you know the barbarians at the gate and
9:00
Speaker 1: using that phrase a lot lately different context, But if
9:03
Speaker 1: we have facing an eminent attack, something is right there
9:07
Speaker 1: it is on its way, or the armies are gathering,
9:10
Speaker 1: or the threat is seen and understood and realized, then yeah,
9:16
Speaker 1: you gotta do what you gotta do. I didn't want
9:18
Speaker 1: to start a war, but you know what, there they were,
9:20
Speaker 1: they were getting ready to attack us. I had to
9:22
Speaker 1: bomb them into submission. But you see, we're struggling with
9:26
Speaker 1: the launching of the strike, the killing of the basically
9:31
Speaker 1: all of the Iranian leaders at the time. With that
9:33
Speaker 1: bomb strike that started all this, we thought the decapitation
9:37
Speaker 1: of the administration was going to lead to quick success.
9:39
Speaker 1: Donald Trump went around telling everybody this war was going
9:41
Speaker 1: to be over in moments of a moment time, it
9:43
Speaker 1: was going to be short, and we were going to win,
9:45
Speaker 1: and in fact, he declared victory on several occasions. We've
9:48
Speaker 1: wiped out their military, we've wiped out their navy, we've
9:50
Speaker 1: wiped out their air force. They lost, but here we are.
9:59
Speaker 1: But the start of the war was also this world
10:01
Speaker 1: in controversy.
10:01
Speaker 3: Was it not.
10:04
Speaker 1: Was there an eminent threat? I know the Iranians were
10:06
Speaker 1: working on building nuclear weapons and I'm kind of going
10:09
Speaker 1: to pivot over and we had this same argument and
10:11
Speaker 1: conversation about the North Koreans year after year after year.
10:15
Speaker 1: We can't let the North Koreans get a bomb. They've
10:17
Speaker 1: got them. But I don't truly believe this was an
10:27
Speaker 1: imminent threat. We've been dealing with the Ryans for forty
10:29
Speaker 1: seven years. Yes, they murdered American soldiers, they blew up things,
10:32
Speaker 1: they've sponsored terrorism, all that, but it's way over there.
10:35
Speaker 1: It's not an imminent threat to the United States of America.
10:39
Speaker 1: So with that bat looming background, it wasn't a black
10:43
Speaker 1: and white issue. He had the authority, he should have
10:46
Speaker 1: done it. This was an existential threat. The storm was approaching.
10:52
Speaker 1: So you take that out and then you think, hmm,
10:55
Speaker 1: we still have economic sanctions as an option. We still
11:00
Speaker 1: have this economic d day that we maybe could have
11:04
Speaker 1: launched against the Iranians in advance of the military operation,
11:07
Speaker 1: the Kinetic war, that we launched new things that the
11:16
Speaker 1: United States could sanction is what he said yesterday. We
11:18
Speaker 1: have new things, We have very draconian sanctions, and we'll
11:22
Speaker 1: see what happened. He said. It'll ne to be extremely
11:24
Speaker 1: good and oil prices will draw like a rock, or
11:26
Speaker 1: we'll continue doing exactly what we're doing, which we're currently
11:29
Speaker 1: is a Battle of Attrition. So, like I said, no
11:36
Speaker 1: fan of war am I I appreciated Donald Trump's position
11:39
Speaker 1: on that up before well, we launched this war against
11:41
Speaker 1: the run just bothers me that maybe there were other
11:45
Speaker 1: options at our disposal that we didn't use before the
11:49
Speaker 1: bombs started dropping. But here we find ourselves and is
11:53
Speaker 1: there a way out? And will this truly? I went
12:00
Speaker 1: back to people's decision making in the voting booth in November.
12:03
Speaker 1: I mean, you're standing there considering where they're going to
12:04
Speaker 1: vote for the Democratic Socialists of America candidate, which is
12:07
Speaker 1: really any Democrat these days, or you're going to vote
12:10
Speaker 1: for the Republican and tar and feather the Republican candidate.
12:14
Speaker 1: With Donald Trump's decisions relative to the war. You're voting
12:19
Speaker 1: for a governor of the state of Ohio or a
12:21
Speaker 1: senator from Ohio or any other race out in any
12:24
Speaker 1: other state. And this is going to be the defining
12:26
Speaker 1: thing something that Donald Trump did. You can't always connect
12:32
Speaker 1: the two. There are a lot of Republicans. Oh, look,
12:36
Speaker 1: Congressman Warren Davidson is going to be on later who
12:38
Speaker 1: were not in favor of the bombing. Absence, of course
12:42
Speaker 1: Congressional approval some authorities, some discussion along these lines, someone
12:46
Speaker 1: who could maybe raise their hand in advance and speculate
12:49
Speaker 1: and wonder, wait a second, what's going to happen to
12:51
Speaker 1: the global economy if the straight of horn mouses shut
12:53
Speaker 1: down as a consequence of this war? Or someone else
12:56
Speaker 1: in the current discussion could raise their hand and say,
12:59
Speaker 1: don't we have any other non warfare options at our disposal?
13:03
Speaker 1: How about maybe launching economic d day against the Iranians
13:07
Speaker 1: before we do that. That's the kind of thing that
13:09
Speaker 1: you know, maybe you should have been discussed out loud
13:12
Speaker 1: in advance, perhaps draw your own conclusions. That's kind of
13:15
Speaker 1: the direction I'm going. We'll hire some David will chime
13:17
Speaker 1: in on that later in the program five one, three, seven, four, nine,
13:20
Speaker 1: fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three
13:22
Speaker 1: Talk cont Fi fifty on AT and T Funds. Feel
13:24
Speaker 1: free to chime in yourself. I'd love to hear from
13:25
Speaker 1: you regardless. I'll be right back after these brief words.
13:28
Speaker 4: This is fifty five KRC, an iHeartRadio station.
13:32
Speaker 1: He's here at fifty five KRC BE Talk station five
13:40
Speaker 1: twenty two on a Thursday. Over fifty five KRC dot
13:45
Speaker 1: iHeart dot com. Check it out get Judge Judge Innita
13:47
Speaker 1: Polaitano's opinions. He joins the program every Wednesday at eight thirty,
13:51
Speaker 1: and I appreciate him being on one of the more
13:55
Speaker 1: controversial guests. I will acknowledge. I don't think a week
13:58
Speaker 1: goes by with the judges and on someone sends me
14:00
Speaker 1: an email or an instant message or chimes in through
14:02
Speaker 1: some mechanism about how they or why they don't like
14:07
Speaker 1: Judge in Napolatano constitutional scholar, he is libertarian voice. He is,
14:11
Speaker 1: and yeah, I know he's no fan of Donald Trump,
14:14
Speaker 1: but the context of his comments are truly important because
14:18
Speaker 1: he does focus on the Constitution, and he does focus
14:21
Speaker 1: on usually an ever intrusive government who's just in You know,
14:26
Speaker 1: you can look at the Democratic Socialists of America and
14:28
Speaker 1: you can see their platform and it outright base. I mean,
14:31
Speaker 1: it basically says everything but outright quote, we want to
14:34
Speaker 1: throw out the United States Constitution. Although a lot of
14:36
Speaker 1: their candidates will say that out loud, but what they
14:38
Speaker 1: want by virtue of their platform requires chucking out the Constitution. Well,
14:44
Speaker 1: you know, in like the topic or with PISA for example,
14:47
Speaker 1: that basically throws out the Fourth amend of the United
14:49
Speaker 1: States Constitution. So, you know, Republicans and not Warren Davidson,
14:52
Speaker 1: but Republicans are on the side of this as well well,
14:55
Speaker 1: security security. What about the Fourth Amendments it says? What
14:59
Speaker 1: is it says? And within the context of all the
15:02
Speaker 1: problems and the issues and the concerns and criminal crimes
15:05
Speaker 1: being conducted and all that, there's still the need for
15:08
Speaker 1: a probable cause and the issuance of a warrant. That
15:13
Speaker 1: is an erosion of the Constitution. It's not an outright
15:16
Speaker 1: we are getting rid of the Fourth Amendment, but it's
15:18
Speaker 1: a subtle undermining of it in the form of legislation.
15:22
Speaker 1: So at least the standing firm on the Constitution, the
15:25
Speaker 1: principles behind it and our freedoms and liberty. So controversial
15:29
Speaker 1: a little bit, but that's okay. So there it is
15:31
Speaker 1: right there. Fifty five cars dot iHeart dot com along
15:33
Speaker 1: with the profanity topic with Jack Addid And how about this?
15:43
Speaker 1: Why not I got one story here? And this is typical,
15:45
Speaker 1: isn't it? Do as I say, not as I do?
15:47
Speaker 1: From each according's ability to each courting is in needs,
15:49
Speaker 1: say the Marxists of the world and yet when the
15:51
Speaker 1: Marxist philosophies enter into and form the basis of government
15:54
Speaker 1: of the people, struggle mightily, they suffer equally. Right, government
15:59
Speaker 1: dictate what, dictates what you can and can't have, because
16:01
Speaker 1: government's in control of all things, including the means of production.
16:05
Speaker 1: But what about the leaders, Right they live like kings.
16:09
Speaker 1: Indeed they do. And you can do that in New
16:11
Speaker 1: York And look at the DSA leader there hm New
16:15
Speaker 1: York City DSA coachair guy named Gustavo Gordio. He happens
16:21
Speaker 1: to living a one point five million dollars twenty four
16:23
Speaker 1: hundred square foot row house in Brooklyn. Brooklyn's it's a
16:26
Speaker 1: place called Bedford Stuyvessant neighborhood. Who can afford that in
16:33
Speaker 1: New York City, Well he can because his parents are
16:35
Speaker 1: paying for it. His parents described as wealthy his dad.
16:40
Speaker 1: This is interesting. His dad moved here when the Democratic
16:50
Speaker 1: CoA chair Gustavo Gordia was three years old. Came here
16:53
Speaker 1: as an immigrant from Peru, and he founded an engineering
16:59
Speaker 1: firm which now has branches in ten US cities. His
17:02
Speaker 1: parents own several properties in South Florida in addition to
17:05
Speaker 1: the place where their son, co chair of the DSA lives.
17:10
Speaker 1: He's a successful engineer. One of his biggest clients is
17:16
Speaker 1: the telecommunications gying at and t so living on mom
17:20
Speaker 1: and Dad's dime. People are speculating about him because he
17:24
Speaker 1: has this anti private property mentality. It's part of their platform.
17:29
Speaker 1: One are the comments that attributed to this guy. Landlords
17:31
Speaker 1: in New York have of making twelve percent returns on
17:32
Speaker 1: their investment on average. Added, he doesn't believe anyone should
17:36
Speaker 1: have a does not believe anyone should have a constitutional
17:39
Speaker 1: right to double digit returns on their investment. And I
17:42
Speaker 1: don't think that comment was limited to real estate investments.
17:46
Speaker 1: I don't believe anyone should have a constitutional right to profit.
17:49
Speaker 1: I think is really what he truly believes. And he
17:52
Speaker 1: happened to have earned a fine Arts degree from Yale
17:55
Speaker 1: back in twenty ten. Hey Joe, what kind of jobs
17:58
Speaker 1: go along with the fine arts to politics? I was
18:06
Speaker 1: expecting it. Do you want fries with that comment? Or
18:09
Speaker 1: do you want cinnamon on top of your latte? Comment? Anyway,
18:16
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to pay for it, so he has
18:18
Speaker 1: this perception. I suppose that because mom and Dad are
18:22
Speaker 1: are are are are allowing him are allowing him to
18:24
Speaker 1: reside in what would arguably be the lap of luxury
18:27
Speaker 1: in a city that's so expensive as New York City.
18:29
Speaker 1: He doesn't have to pay the rent, So I guess
18:31
Speaker 1: he's projecting out the rest of the world at gee.
18:34
Speaker 1: If I can do it this way, everybody can tax
18:37
Speaker 1: the rich. That will be Mom and Dad. Yeah, I'm
18:39
Speaker 1: forcing them to pay for my lifestyle. I am exacting
18:44
Speaker 1: my fair share. But I've got my own source of
18:47
Speaker 1: income and it happens to be my wealthy parents. That model
18:50
Speaker 1: must work, I guess for everyone else in the world.
18:53
Speaker 1: Question Mark m Right five, twenty seventy five. Care see
18:57
Speaker 1: talk station. Wait around, We've got some local stories coming up.
19:00
Speaker 1: Everybody's lining up not just against AI but also flock
19:04
Speaker 1: cameras and some local stories regarding that. Maybe Tom will
19:07
Speaker 1: chime in. Either way, we go be right back. Have
19:09
Speaker 1: you heard the news? Happy Thursday eight two three, Talk
19:14
Speaker 1: Town five fifty on eighteen t phones. Oh look, oh
19:17
Speaker 1: he is right with the world. Tom, Welcome back to
19:19
Speaker 1: the fifty five Ksey Morning Show, My friend and Happy
19:21
Speaker 1: Friday Eve to you.
19:22
Speaker 5: Hey, good morning, good morning. So well, basically, we got
19:25
Speaker 5: a bunch of spoiler rotten brats who started up this
19:28
Speaker 5: whole thing. What Karl Marx, didn't you talk about this
19:31
Speaker 5: a week or two ago?
19:32
Speaker 1: Hu, you seem to be on a roll on. Yeah,
19:37
Speaker 1: dominated news.
19:39
Speaker 5: The guy that actually started this whole Marxism was actually
19:45
Speaker 5: named after he was a spoiler, rot brat.
19:47
Speaker 1: Jack Addan brought that up, I believe in one of
19:49
Speaker 1: his big pictures. Yeah, they had all all kinds of
19:53
Speaker 1: free time, naval contemplators, philosophers, hanging out in bars, drinking beers,
19:58
Speaker 1: making stuff up and writing it down.
20:00
Speaker 5: There you go, there you go. So, I mean the
20:03
Speaker 5: communist manifesto written on a bar napkin, of course makes sense.
20:07
Speaker 5: So uh yeah, and so it makes sense that people
20:11
Speaker 5: who who are lazy and irresponsible and don't want to
20:15
Speaker 5: take care of themselves and have everybody take care of them. Oh,
20:19
Speaker 5: they think that's the way it should be for everybody.
20:21
Speaker 5: Somebody has to pay for all of this. Yeah, Okay,
20:25
Speaker 5: somebody's got to pay for it. I mean, we're singing
20:27
Speaker 5: the same song, and we just got to see if
20:30
Speaker 5: enough people are listening. Somebody has to pay for this stuff.
20:33
Speaker 5: You want all to if you want to go make
20:35
Speaker 5: yourself a little makeshift lean you and go out in
20:38
Speaker 5: the wilderness and live off the land, knock yourself out.
20:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know capitalism. Capitalism is a natural development of
20:46
Speaker 1: human interaction. You know, the guncept the capitalists. I suppose
20:51
Speaker 1: in the state of nature, people are just wandering around
20:53
Speaker 1: where there is no government. You know, you're on your own.
20:56
Speaker 1: And then maybe you get together and you think, all right, well,
20:58
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Rather than being a hunter gatherer
21:01
Speaker 1: and for biding for myself every single day, we're going
21:03
Speaker 1: to allocate that responsibility to your group of people, and
21:06
Speaker 1: we here are going to take care of fill in
21:08
Speaker 1: the blanks some other service needed by the community. Generally,
21:11
Speaker 1: you start breaking things down and then it becomes order
21:14
Speaker 1: to society. And then you start, you know, exchanging goods,
21:17
Speaker 1: maybe on a barter, and then you move into currency,
21:19
Speaker 1: and guess what, that's how society evolves. And at some
21:22
Speaker 1: point the society becomes successful and well oiled machine where
21:26
Speaker 1: people are participating and interacting and gaining benefits from their labor.
21:30
Speaker 1: And then the communists show up and think we need
21:33
Speaker 1: to take out this whole idea of currency. That guy
21:35
Speaker 1: over there has been far too successful in his endeavors
21:38
Speaker 1: on behalf of the group here, and you have to
21:41
Speaker 1: bring it down. Stuff that was built on human interaction
21:44
Speaker 1: and the exchange of goods and services and perhaps the
21:46
Speaker 1: profit motive. That's what provides even the argument that you
21:49
Speaker 1: can have communism, because try arguing communism early on, where
21:53
Speaker 1: are people going to live? Who built the original dwelling?
21:56
Speaker 1: Some guy on for himself? You're going to take that away.
21:59
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's it's a nightmarish mess. I mean,
22:01
Speaker 1: this whole idea that you know, the part the apartment building,
22:05
Speaker 1: it's there, it's built, it was built on profit incentive.
22:08
Speaker 1: It wouldn't be there if there wasn't a profit incentive
22:11
Speaker 1: just for the for the building in the first place.
22:15
Speaker 5: Yeah. Well yeah, And the frustrating part is is that
22:19
Speaker 5: how do people not understand this? And it all comes
22:22
Speaker 5: down to greed and laziness and irresponsibility. Hey, if I
22:26
Speaker 5: can get away with getting what I want without actually
22:29
Speaker 5: having to work for it and earn it, then that's great.
22:32
Speaker 5: Well that's you know that you and I were raised differently.
22:35
Speaker 5: It's no, that's not it is. It is what it is.
22:39
Speaker 5: It's that's exactly what socialism is. It's feeling they're reaching
22:42
Speaker 5: into your pocket, they're going to your paycheck, and they're saying, no,
22:45
Speaker 5: we're taking this part, we're taking this and and every
22:49
Speaker 5: every year they come back from more. Every year there's
22:51
Speaker 5: a new tax levy. Every year, there's a new because ever.
22:56
Speaker 1: Because every year and the problems of the world never
22:59
Speaker 1: go away ever, but every year there's a new problem
23:01
Speaker 1: that needs to be solved. And of course we can
23:03
Speaker 1: justify stealing from you because, gosh darn it, we've got
23:08
Speaker 1: to address this broader societal problem. It's like we can
23:11
Speaker 1: justify stealing your information and violation of the Fourth Amendment
23:14
Speaker 1: because oh, well, we've got a security problem or a
23:17
Speaker 1: crime problem. That stuff's never going to go away. We've
23:19
Speaker 1: all been dealing with crime. But we enjoy the Fourth
23:22
Speaker 1: Amendment here in this country. We also enjoy the right
23:24
Speaker 1: of private property and private ownership. And the well, I
23:27
Speaker 1: would argue, we should deserve the right to the freedom
23:30
Speaker 1: to deal with and spend our money that we earned,
23:33
Speaker 1: rather than having a government come in and rapaciously take
23:36
Speaker 1: as much as they deem necessary. That's stealing, legal stealing.
23:41
Speaker 5: Well, the yeah, the problem and the problem is is
23:43
Speaker 5: that all this stuff costs money. Everybody that's involved in
23:47
Speaker 5: this wants something, They need money for something, and right
23:51
Speaker 5: there's never enough money. It runs out, like we said,
23:55
Speaker 5: you said multiple times, sooner or later, you run out
23:57
Speaker 5: of other people's money. That market, thatcher market that somebody
24:01
Speaker 5: has to You have to allow part of society to
24:04
Speaker 5: be productive and create wealth. Otherwise you're doomed. It's not
24:09
Speaker 5: going to work, and socialism thing does not work. Period,
24:13
Speaker 5: end of discussion. Don't vote Democrat, have a great day.
24:17
Speaker 1: Yes, you have to allow part of society to be
24:22
Speaker 1: productive and create wealth. The incentive for that is that
24:28
Speaker 1: those people who are capable of doing that, and God
24:30
Speaker 1: bless each and every one of them forgiving me a
24:32
Speaker 1: job over my entire lifetime, they have to have an
24:35
Speaker 1: incentive to do it. Socialist and communists, that incentive is profit.
24:42
Speaker 1: God bless America. Five point thirty six or fifty five
24:45
Speaker 1: kr c DE talk station, be right back fifty five
24:48
Speaker 1: KARC dot com. You're one stop for advertising by forty
24:53
Speaker 1: one fifty about KRCD talk station and that be Friday Eve. Hey, Richard,
24:56
Speaker 1: you're right, mis kidding. I got any for Richard regarding
25:02
Speaker 1: the Democratic Socialist of America who's living thanks to his
25:05
Speaker 1: parents very comfortably in New York City while expousing the
25:07
Speaker 1: end of property rights. He has a degree in fine
25:10
Speaker 1: arts from Yale, as is reported, which I read Richards's
25:13
Speaker 1: degree in fine arts because I asked out loud, what
25:16
Speaker 1: do you do with that? Because I have made this
25:18
Speaker 1: argument many times. You give me go to college and
25:20
Speaker 1: spend on hundred two hundred, three hundred four. However, many
25:22
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of dollars or even tens of thousands
25:24
Speaker 1: of dollars to get a degree. You should go in
25:26
Speaker 1: there and get one that has a paying job at
25:28
Speaker 1: the outside based on the degree, I would argue, and
25:32
Speaker 1: I know Salabi's might hire you, although there aren't any
25:35
Speaker 1: job openings. There's like three places maybe Docents usually work
25:38
Speaker 1: for free in art museums. So it's a hobby degree,
25:44
Speaker 1: and I will be self critical. I loved politics. I
25:47
Speaker 1: got a degree in political science. That was pretty much
25:49
Speaker 1: a hobby degree because even then I didn't know what
25:51
Speaker 1: I was going to use it for, except that I did.
25:53
Speaker 1: I did anticipate it was going to go to law school,
25:55
Speaker 1: not knowing if I could get in. Fortunately I did.
25:58
Speaker 1: But degree in fine arts, Richard writes he could be
26:01
Speaker 1: a house painter. Wait, that actually requires work? What was
26:05
Speaker 1: I thinking? Nice job, Richard. Let's go to the phone.
26:07
Speaker 1: See what Bobby's got for a good to the stack
26:09
Speaker 1: of stupid Bobby, good morning and happy Friday Eve to you.
26:12
Speaker 2: Good morning to you, my friend, Base Flag family.
26:15
Speaker 1: In this handicap it is, isn't it okay? The over
26:19
Speaker 1: and under on the number of violent crimes in the
26:20
Speaker 1: Greater Cincinnati area between now and Sunday at midnight.
26:26
Speaker 2: Six and a half.
26:27
Speaker 1: You're one lesson last week six and a half. Are
26:30
Speaker 1: things improving?
26:31
Speaker 5: Yeah? No, they're not improving at all. We're just trying
26:34
Speaker 5: to be more gracious.
26:35
Speaker 1: All right. And if you were a betting man going
26:37
Speaker 1: to the poly market with a six point five over,
26:39
Speaker 1: and under which direction are you going to go? Bobby?
26:42
Speaker 3: Over over?
26:44
Speaker 1: I could have guessed that my friend stay frosty. Fortunately,
26:48
Speaker 1: stay frosty. Always good to hear from you. Bobby. Take
26:53
Speaker 1: care of yourself. Oh the stack is stupid? Okay, yesterday,
26:56
Speaker 1: for those who remember the story, wasn't it yesterday with
26:58
Speaker 1: the bottle of wine? Joe? It was? You know what's coming?
27:02
Speaker 1: If you remember that story. We go to, of course,
27:05
Speaker 1: of all states Florida, Frazing, Florida, where Monique loved Turnball.
27:09
Speaker 1: She's thirty one and from Miami, was arrested after the
27:12
Speaker 1: Martin County Sheriff's Office deputies alleged that she showed up
27:15
Speaker 1: at a senior citizens home pretending to work for the
27:17
Speaker 1: alleged victims bank. This woman told the victim that the
27:22
Speaker 1: victim's account had been compromised and then tried to get
27:24
Speaker 1: the debit card and personal information. Victim was suspicious and
27:29
Speaker 1: fortunately did contact law enforcement. While deputies investigated, they received
27:33
Speaker 1: another call identifying this Turnball woman as a possible suspect
27:37
Speaker 1: in a similar case, so deputies looked for They found
27:39
Speaker 1: her and arrested her on fraud charges during a traffic stop.
27:44
Speaker 1: She faces charge of a scheme to fraud, felling the
27:47
Speaker 1: use of a two way communication device, fraudulent use of
27:49
Speaker 1: a credit card without consent involving a victim sixty and older.
27:53
Speaker 1: So multiple charges have filed against her. Interesting twist and
27:56
Speaker 1: why it's in the stack is stupid thority say Turnbull
28:00
Speaker 1: entered the prison with thirty two hundred dollars in cash
28:07
Speaker 1: in her vagina. What right next to that bottle of
28:11
Speaker 1: wine from yesterday, Joe. And here's a disturbing comment from
28:18
Speaker 1: the sheriff quote. Not clear who the money was taken from,
28:24
Speaker 1: but for now it's accounted for and sealed in evidence.
28:27
Speaker 1: Keep in mind, at some point the cash will be
28:31
Speaker 1: back in public circulation. Which reminds me of the story
28:38
Speaker 1: of one of my dad's best Yeah, one of my
28:40
Speaker 1: dad's best friends is a physician, or was a physician,
28:43
Speaker 1: God rest his soul, and he, I guess, did volunteer
28:46
Speaker 1: work and did physicals for, in this particular case, women
28:49
Speaker 1: who signed up for service to the American military. During
28:52
Speaker 1: the physical As the story was relayed to me, the
28:55
Speaker 1: good doctor friend of my father's found in the same
28:58
Speaker 1: location a role of twenty dollar bills safe space. I
29:05
Speaker 1: guess five forty five right now, if you five KRCD
29:07
Speaker 1: talk station, we'll get your other stack is stupid which
29:09
Speaker 1: don't involve things like that. After these brief words, fifty
29:12
Speaker 1: five KRC the toxic KRC the talk station five forty
29:18
Speaker 1: nine and fifty five KRCD talk station, that'd be Thursday,
29:23
Speaker 1: looking so far to Congress from Warren Davidson returning to
29:26
Speaker 1: the program at seven oh five, you can feel free
29:27
Speaker 1: to call if you like five one, three, seven, four
29:29
Speaker 1: nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eight two three talk
29:31
Speaker 1: otherwise back to the stack is stupid. Where we'll go
29:33
Speaker 1: to Wisconsin where a man is now behind bars after
29:37
Speaker 1: a hostage situation. The occurred at a meer store. Anthony Lehman.
29:42
Speaker 1: He's twenty one. He's now accused of one kind of
29:44
Speaker 1: reckless injury in the first degree, false imprisonment, making terrorist threats,
29:47
Speaker 1: and three counts of second degree recklessly endangering safety. And
29:53
Speaker 1: he is the one that called nine to one one
29:56
Speaker 1: July thirty of about six pm. During the call, he
29:59
Speaker 1: told a dispatch of the he had a hostage in
30:00
Speaker 1: the men's room of the superstore, demanding to speak with
30:03
Speaker 1: a hostage negotiator. One point says he was heard telling
30:07
Speaker 1: the fifty nine year old hostage he would get seriously
30:09
Speaker 1: hurt his words if he didn't put his feet flat
30:12
Speaker 1: down to the ground. After that, he allegedly told the
30:15
Speaker 1: hostage to look straight ahead and down. Later on, Layman
30:19
Speaker 1: told the dispatcher that he had what is it He
30:21
Speaker 1: described as a dead man's switch, which is described as
30:25
Speaker 1: a mechanism that triggers when the person holding it becomes incapacity.
30:28
Speaker 1: In other words, if you drop the thing, it's going
30:30
Speaker 1: to blow up. That kind of thing. You've seen it
30:32
Speaker 1: in movies all the time. And he also demanded to
30:35
Speaker 1: speak with multiple hypnotists. I'm thinking so Joe calling on.
30:43
Speaker 1: He was heard repeatedly threatening the older man calling alleges
30:46
Speaker 1: that Layman also warned law enforcement that the situation and
30:50
Speaker 1: his words would go south real f worting fast jack
30:54
Speaker 1: addan good morning. Responding officers enter the med's room where
30:57
Speaker 1: the hostage. If they went into the men room where
30:59
Speaker 1: the hostage was, said situation was going on to report
31:02
Speaker 1: to the one point. A specialist took over the line
31:04
Speaker 1: when Layman reiterated his demand for multiple hypnotists. Specialists then
31:12
Speaker 1: asked the defendant about his past with hypnotists and as
31:15
Speaker 1: well his medications if any. Eventually, he produced a bottle
31:21
Speaker 1: of glue, ordering the hostage to glue his own hands
31:25
Speaker 1: to the floor. The hostage refused and ultimately was held
31:30
Speaker 1: at knife point by this loon. Soon though, the hostage
31:34
Speaker 1: told police that he sensed an opportunity while the guy
31:37
Speaker 1: was on the nine to one one call, so he
31:38
Speaker 1: used his belt and buckles started to fight back as
31:42
Speaker 1: the man's belt buckle was swinging around to the air.
31:44
Speaker 1: Layman left the men's room, so the hostage then actually
31:47
Speaker 1: started chasing after Layman because he felt that somebody else
31:50
Speaker 1: might get hurt. Layman ran through the store. He was
31:54
Speaker 1: toting two knives at the time. Court to the police,
31:57
Speaker 1: customers were screaming as he ran around in the store.
32:00
Speaker 1: Now former hostage shouted out for folks to be careful
32:03
Speaker 1: of him because he noted that he was armed. In
32:06
Speaker 1: the ensuing confrontation, three shots were fired and Layman then
32:10
Speaker 1: fell to the ground. The hostage noticed the sharp pain
32:14
Speaker 1: in his hand at the time and later told police
32:17
Speaker 1: and turned out his thumb had been accidentally shot off.
32:21
Speaker 1: Defendant critically injured. Taking to the hospital there unsolicited, he
32:24
Speaker 1: asked the detective if he was on the news and
32:27
Speaker 1: what happened to the guy that was chasing me. Next day,
32:31
Speaker 1: I remember the hospital psychiatric psychiatry staff spoke with him
32:34
Speaker 1: and then police. Layman allegedly said he intended to use
32:38
Speaker 1: the man for leverage, but did not elaborate on what
32:40
Speaker 1: that meant.
32:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, I.
32:45
Speaker 1: Hypnotists that the Juggalos are still around Joe idiots doing
32:55
Speaker 1: idiot things because they're idiots headline. Man arrested and suspected
32:59
Speaker 1: of planning to distribute drugs at gathering of the Juggalos
33:04
Speaker 1: in Camden County. Well, no kidding, isn't that what goes
33:07
Speaker 1: on at those concerts. I don't need to dive into
33:11
Speaker 1: that one. What kind of parent are you? We go
33:18
Speaker 1: to Columbia, South Carolina, you draw your own conclusions on
33:20
Speaker 1: this woman who has been arrested because her six year
33:24
Speaker 1: old was found with a loaded gun on a school bus.
33:28
Speaker 1: Richand County Sheriff's departments at a resource officer with the
33:31
Speaker 1: JP Thomas Elementary School was called around seven thirty in
33:33
Speaker 1: the morning after it was discovered that the child had
33:35
Speaker 1: a loaded gun in the bus gone of course, taken
33:38
Speaker 1: away from the child, deputies and arrested the kid's mom,
33:40
Speaker 1: thirty five year old Tostar Hall Deputies. The Sheriff's department
33:47
Speaker 1: said it was found that the gun was not properly
33:49
Speaker 1: secured in the home, which is how it ended up
33:51
Speaker 1: in the kid's hands. Gun later identified it as an
33:54
Speaker 1: ar pistol five five six loaded. Arrested, charged with unlawful
34:01
Speaker 1: conduct toward a child. A six year old with an
34:06
Speaker 1: ar pistol. How bound that that is not a criticism
34:10
Speaker 1: of the ar pistol. You know a lot of people
34:12
Speaker 1: own them. I have no problem with them whatsoever, but
34:15
Speaker 1: I like to point out minor properly secured. Austin man
34:21
Speaker 1: has been arrested after critically injuring a seventy nine year
34:24

35:33
Speaker 1: Bobby's comment, am I ensuing comment, stay frosty, keep your
35:39
Speaker 1: eyes peeled, have a sense of awareness about your environment.
35:43
Speaker 1: There are as I think everybody knows a lot of
35:45
Speaker 1: crazy people in the world. Fifty six fifty five ker
35:48
Speaker 1: CD talk station plenty to talk about what's your feeling
35:51
Speaker 1: on AI data centers. This is a huge issue and
35:54
Speaker 1: it is widely impactful of the Houston Brown race here
35:58
Speaker 1: in the state of Ohio, and I'm sure it's going
35:59
Speaker 1: to have an impact on the gubernatorial race as well.
36:01
Speaker 1: We have Viva Gramaswami showing up at eight o five
36:04
Speaker 1: on that race and maybe get a comment or two
36:06
Speaker 1: about that. But this is a real challenge out there
36:10
Speaker 1: as we fast approach November A. I talked about a
36:12
Speaker 1: little bit about that. I got a whole lot more
36:14
Speaker 1: coming up. I hope you can stick around.
36:15
Speaker 3: Another Master Class update is coming up on the day's
36:19
Speaker 3: view that.
36:20
Speaker 1: Six o six here Ifeople five KEROSD talk station Happy Thursday,
36:26
Speaker 1: Rand Thomas here, i'd you like talking? Feel free to
36:29
Speaker 1: call five one three seven FOE fifty five hundred had
36:32
Speaker 1: an eight two three talk entertaining comments on artificial intelligence
36:35
Speaker 1: is becoming becoming a dominant issue, most notably here in
36:37
Speaker 1: the state of Ohio, so much so that the National
36:39
Speaker 1: Republican Senatorial Committee issued a memo with regard to the
36:43
Speaker 1: shared Brown John Housted race in connection with artificial intelligence
36:47
Speaker 1: becoming a real problem. Uh, first off, the one hour
36:50
Speaker 1: from now, maybe he'll chime in on that. He's got
36:51
Speaker 1: a whole lot of things he would like to talk
36:53
Speaker 1: with you and me about. Congressman Warren Davidson. We'll talk
36:56
Speaker 1: about the Corporate Transparency Act, We'll talk about fraud, waste
36:59
Speaker 1: and abuse. We'll talk about PISA and the renewal of FAIZA.
37:02
Speaker 1: Maybe get an opportunity to chime in on the Clarity Act,
37:04
Speaker 1: which involves cryptocurrency, and finally, Second Amendment rights further enshrine
37:09
Speaker 1: when the Appellate Court threw out the NFA the National
37:13
Speaker 1: Firearms Act at least in one district, and that is
37:15
Speaker 1: a growing thing. Department of Justice is not going to
37:17
Speaker 1: appeal it. So you, my friends out there that are
37:19
Speaker 1: interested in purchasing a suppressor short barrow rifle. Ah, you'll
37:22
Speaker 1: be able to do it without having to let the
37:23
Speaker 1: federal government know or well previously used to have to
37:26
Speaker 1: pay to exercise your Second Amendment right by giving federal
37:30
Speaker 1: government two hundred dollars so that no longer applies. And
37:33
Speaker 1: out went the NFA with that ruling. Yay, good development
37:37
Speaker 1: on that. Plus, iHeart media aviation expert Jay Ratliff coming
37:40
Speaker 1: to at eight thirty. Got some cool things to talk
37:41
Speaker 1: about with Jay, which is always the case. So what
37:44
Speaker 1: are we dealing with here? Oh? Vv Ramaswamy just parenthetically
37:47
Speaker 1: eight oh five. Good natorial candidate Ramaswami, who I'm all about.
37:51
Speaker 1: We'll get an update on how the campaign's going. His
37:53
Speaker 1: thoughts about fraud, waste and abuse, and pray to God
37:56
Speaker 1: that will be a great thing for him to go after.
37:59
Speaker 1: Just breaks mind heart that we don't care that our
38:01
Speaker 1: elected officials do not give a wit about having some
38:05
Speaker 1: measure of fiduciary obligation with regard to the money they
38:08
Speaker 1: take from our paychecks. They don't care a wit. We'll
38:11
Speaker 1: also maybe dive into the AI data center controversy with him.
38:15
Speaker 1: This is becoming a democrat advantage issue, and it's easy
38:19
Speaker 1: when you can gin up fear of our artificial intelligence.
38:22
Speaker 1: And there's a couple of components of this, and the
38:24
Speaker 1: water use, the noise issue, the unsightly reality of a
38:28
Speaker 1: data center, which is no different than an Amazon facility,
38:32
Speaker 1: just they are giant factories with no windows. But power
38:36
Speaker 1: use is really one of the biggest problems. To check
38:38
Speaker 1: your duke bill lately. Is it going up or down? Right?
38:41
Speaker 1: How are they going to cover the costs of that
38:43
Speaker 1: without passing along all these expenses to you and me.
38:46
Speaker 1: Serious concerns and legitimate ones. But if you could address
38:50
Speaker 1: those problems ahead of time, if you can assure the
38:53
Speaker 1: residents of any given neighborhood or jurisdiction, which would get
38:56
Speaker 1: some serious tax advantages. Now I know these places do
38:59
Speaker 1: not employ a whole bunch of people, although they do
39:02
Speaker 1: create jobs. Those buildings and the systems inside must be maintained.
39:07
Speaker 1: Artificial intelligence, can't you fix itself? Thankfully. There are always
39:12
Speaker 1: going to be people in the trades who will be
39:13
Speaker 1: employed because AI can't do everything, so you get some
39:18
Speaker 1: job benefit. You of course get the tax revenue that's
39:21
Speaker 1: generated by the data center. They're going to be taxed
39:23
Speaker 1: at whatever rate they're taxed on. But if you can
39:25
Speaker 1: solve the energy problems, the water usage problem, and the
39:27
Speaker 1: sound problems all up front. I'm worried about water. We've
39:31
Speaker 1: got that solved. The AI facility will not take much, really,
39:35
Speaker 1: if any water. It's a closed loop system we are
39:37
Speaker 1: building here, and they have those now, like the radiator
39:40
Speaker 1: in your car, you don't need to consume a lot
39:42
Speaker 1: of water or really any much at all, So no
39:46
Speaker 1: water problems. Look golf course over there in your neighborhood,
39:49
Speaker 1: your community. They're using up three hundred thousand gallons a
39:51
Speaker 1: day to water the golf course. You haven't been screaming
39:53
Speaker 1: about that. Okay, water issue addressed, We will buffer it.
39:57
Speaker 1: There will be so much insulation that you will not
39:59
Speaker 1: even hear any noise coming from the data center. Problem solved.
40:02
Speaker 1: And then the ever present largest issue, energy generation. We
40:06
Speaker 1: can force the energy or the AI companies to cover
40:09
Speaker 1: the cost so that you personally, residents in the neighborhood
40:12
Speaker 1: will not see a dollar increase on your energy bill
40:16
Speaker 1: other than the well, generally speaking, problems of the cost
40:19
Speaker 1: of energy that are widespread, like the price of oil
40:22
Speaker 1: going up, the energy production price going up, whatever is
40:24
Speaker 1: causing the prices, that's going to be a natural occurring
40:28
Speaker 1: phenomena which we're all dealing with right now. But insofar
40:30
Speaker 1: as adding AI to your neighborhood, you are not going
40:33
Speaker 1: to see a dime on your bill to cover the
40:36
Speaker 1: cost of that. So there, that problem has been addressed.
40:38
Speaker 1: However we deal with it. So what other concerns do
40:40
Speaker 1: you have? Well, the only other reason you might be
40:44
Speaker 1: against it is what a I does. And this is
40:50
Speaker 1: another thing that the Democrats are latching onto. Your fear
40:53
Speaker 1: over what AI can do. Your job's going to be eliminated. Well,
40:57
Speaker 1: that may be true, and it is true for a
41:01
Speaker 1: whole lot of businesses and industries. And I go back
41:04
Speaker 1: to my friend of mine who had AI create a
41:07
Speaker 1: business proposal for him, a business model for his own
41:12
Speaker 1: personal business. He owns a small business, it's actually a
41:15
Speaker 1: franchise owner, and he's been very successful, he said, but
41:19
Speaker 1: I needed a future plan and so I just randomly went,
41:21
Speaker 1: I thay, you know what, I'm gonna ask artificial intelligence
41:23
Speaker 1: generate one, and it created what he described as a
41:26
Speaker 1: really I mean well done business proposal of I think
41:31
Speaker 1: thirteen fifteen pages long, broken down by category, and suggestions
41:36
Speaker 1: on what to do in the future based upon the
41:37
Speaker 1: information he put into it. And he put in a
41:39
Speaker 1: lot of his own business information, financials generated over the
41:42
Speaker 1: last couple of years. Boom, it's spit it out. So
41:46
Speaker 1: I don't know who is doing that kind of job.
41:48
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's firms or businesses out there that are
41:50
Speaker 1: in the business of providing business information and doing these
41:54
Speaker 1: types of reports for small business owners who otherwise wouldn't
41:56
Speaker 1: have a clue on how to do one. Those jobs
41:59
Speaker 1: are going to be gone, and it's not easy, it's
42:01
Speaker 1: not difficult to extrapolate moving forward, how many jobs are
42:04
Speaker 1: maybe at risk because of AI. So, yeah, that's illegitimate
42:07
Speaker 1: concern in fear, and I agree with that fear. Also
42:14
Speaker 1: the risks that AI has generally speaking, you know, these
42:18
Speaker 1: sort of Hollywood movie catastrophe things like the Terminator, and
42:22
Speaker 1: we've got widespread reports out there that you know, AI
42:25
Speaker 1: has broken free from its own restrictions imposed upon them
42:29
Speaker 1: by the creators of AI that they were. The AI
42:32
Speaker 1: program itself went in and out of its parameters and
42:34
Speaker 1: hacked into a private company to get information to solve
42:37
Speaker 1: the problem that was asked to do within the parameters
42:40
Speaker 1: that were assigned. It's broken free. Oh my god. Also
42:44
Speaker 1: that AI is capable of providing you. Yes, you lay person,
42:47
Speaker 1: you don't know how to build a dirty bomb, you
42:50
Speaker 1: don't know how to aerosolize, say uh sarign gas or something,
42:54
Speaker 1: Just ask AI and it will give you all that information,
42:57
Speaker 1: a whole lot more. That's frightening. Amen, I don't want
43:02
Speaker 1: that out there. But amid all these swirling concerns about
43:05
Speaker 1: what it can do and the job losses it might,
43:07
Speaker 1: is it going anywhere? Are these artificial If you say
43:10
Speaker 1: no to the AI facility in your neighborhood because of
43:14
Speaker 1: those concerns, is it going away?
43:16
Speaker 2: No?
43:19
Speaker 1: Other countries are involved in this pursuit as well. We
43:22
Speaker 1: know the Chinese Communist Party is big into artificial intelligence
43:25
Speaker 1: and wants to be the global leader in it and
43:27
Speaker 1: doing all those nefarious things on top of everything else,
43:30
Speaker 1: Who do you want in control of that? You can't
43:33
Speaker 1: run away? From it. So when someone's trying to gin
43:38
Speaker 1: up fears for you and trying to win over your
43:40
Speaker 1: vote as you run in a November, you may look
43:42
Speaker 1: at the Republican Party as being the well the party
43:44
Speaker 1: in favor of advancing AI and AI data centers. I
43:48
Speaker 1: don't know that the Republican Party has anything to do
43:50
Speaker 1: with advancing artificial intelligence generally speaking. I think if you
43:57
Speaker 1: ask any single one of them, like, if you could
43:59
Speaker 1: have a in your ideal world, would we even have AI?
44:03
Speaker 1: Maybe most of them, like me, would say no. I
44:05
Speaker 1: think we're a better place without it. I'm not a ludite,
44:09
Speaker 1: but given the downside risks of it, I would rather
44:12
Speaker 1: a world without it. We don't have that option. We
44:14
Speaker 1: don't have it, So you can just throw that one
44:17
Speaker 1: out the window. What are you left with the concrete
44:21
Speaker 1: issues that can be addressed in advance? And this is
44:25
Speaker 1: I suppose where the Republicans have to come in, and
44:27
Speaker 1: a lot of them are. They're stepping up saying no,
44:29
Speaker 1: we will not allow this to move forward absent the
44:32
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence companies themselves paying for insulation to keep the product,
44:39
Speaker 1: to keep the noise down, paying for their own electricity,
44:43
Speaker 1: or even generating their own ensuring that the neighborhood's water
44:49
Speaker 1: usage will not be compromised in any way, shape or form. Upfront.
44:52
Speaker 1: Got all those problems solved, So what's left for you
44:55
Speaker 1: to complain about? Tax revenue? No, we like tax revenue,
45:01
Speaker 1: schools like it. What a where the teachers' unions are?
45:04
Speaker 1: Insofar as the revenue generated from the artificial intelligence facilities? Jobs? Yeah,
45:09
Speaker 1: they are not a whole lot, but there will be some.
45:12
Speaker 1: We usually are advocating four jobs here in our community.
45:16
Speaker 1: So other than that, you have the unsightly facility itself
45:20
Speaker 1: to complain about. And I would believe you know, Uh,
45:26
Speaker 1: I'm sure on the anti AI side of the ledger
45:28
Speaker 1: are all the global warming folks for whatever reason? Yeah,
45:31
Speaker 1: we got right. You can see that coalition forming. All
45:36
Speaker 1: the leftists are over there anyway. What about the windmills?
45:43
Speaker 1: I think those are unsightly? What about fields of solar panels?
45:47
Speaker 1: What is more unsightly? It's a subjective conclusion. You got
45:50
Speaker 1: to reach a huge sea of windmills that you can
45:53
Speaker 1: see from miles away. Got in the otherwise unspoiled beautiful
46:00
Speaker 1: farm land like in Indiana, massive fields of solar panels
46:04
Speaker 1: bigger than any AI data center in order to generate
46:06
Speaker 1: the electricity they claim that it's going to generate. What's
46:09
Speaker 1: the difference, what's better? I know they do different things.
46:13
Speaker 1: One creates power, one uses power. But if you're just
46:15
Speaker 1: going to boil it down to the last thing you
46:17
Speaker 1: have to complain about, which you can't really deal with
46:19
Speaker 1: unless they build them underground, the unsightly box store or
46:22
Speaker 1: giant Amazon like facility that is the data center, you
46:27
Speaker 1: can probably deal with that as well. But you know,
46:29
Speaker 1: look around you there are a lot of quote unquote
46:33
Speaker 1: unsightly things that actually do really good things for community.
46:37
Speaker 1: Six sixteen right now fifty five KRCD talk station five
46:41
Speaker 1: on three seven for nine feet talk station at six
46:45
Speaker 1: twenty one, fifty five KRCD talk station. Yeah, further on
46:49
Speaker 1: the AI thing, you know, this has become such an
46:51
Speaker 1: issue here in Ohio. As I said, with the Houston
46:54
Speaker 1: Brown race, a National Republican SENATORI Committee, which is the
46:56
Speaker 1: Senate up's campaign committee UH issued memo I believe it
47:01
Speaker 1: was god well first obtained by ABC News. Regardless, it
47:04
Speaker 1: came out yesterday talking about the race. According to their
47:08
Speaker 1: own internal private polling, You and I don't get access
47:11
Speaker 1: to that, and I know how we feel about poles.
47:13
Speaker 1: Would like to think that maybe internal polling is a
47:15
Speaker 1: little bit more accurate than what you and I get
47:16
Speaker 1: fed to in the mainstream media. But whatever, But their
47:18
Speaker 1: polling is raising alarm bells. They've got Brown and Houston
47:22
Speaker 1: in a dead heat. And remember republic it's a Republican state.
47:27
Speaker 1: It's a rather red state, like double digit read in
47:30
Speaker 1: last several races. So this shouldn't be a challenge for
47:34
Speaker 1: John Houstad, but it currently is a courting to the memo.
47:36
Speaker 1: Hi is one of the leaders in building these AI factories.
47:39
Speaker 1: We do have a lot, Brown shared. Brown has made
47:42
Speaker 1: his opposition to them the centerpiece of his campaign against Houston.
47:46
Speaker 1: Brown using it because it works more than any other
47:50
Speaker 1: thing in this race. Data centers are the anchor hanging
47:53
Speaker 1: around the around Housteed's next If he loses and data
47:56
Speaker 1: centers get to blame, politicians across the country will take
47:59
Speaker 1: notice and they will not go near the next one,
48:03
Speaker 1: Meaning the wave of the future would be there would
48:05
Speaker 1: be no data centers, I presume, and Brown is suggesting
48:09
Speaker 1: Houston is responsible for all the data centers in Ohio
48:12
Speaker 1: already there was a tax exemption for data centers that
48:15
Speaker 1: it was assigned in the law by de Wine, but
48:16
Speaker 1: he paused that Housteed introduced in the Senate. Here's where
48:23
Speaker 1: he's trying to get ahead of this controversy and say no, no,
48:26
Speaker 1: I'm here to protect you. A new proposal. And this
48:29
Speaker 1: goes to the major concerns people are articulating. Requiring states
48:33
Speaker 1: to set up new standards to make sure the data
48:35
Speaker 1: centers pay for their own power generation and the cost
48:38
Speaker 1: of new transmission or infrastructure, and ensuring that it's not
48:42
Speaker 1: making your pass down to you. That's the there you go. Look,
48:46
Speaker 1: I'm here to protect you. You will not feel the impact.
48:49
Speaker 1: That's what the legislation is supposed to do. Don't hold
48:51
Speaker 1: your breath waiting for it to get passed. But at
48:53
Speaker 1: least he's in front of the effort on that and
48:58
Speaker 1: it's having an impact elsewhere. Again, needing to get ahead
49:04
Speaker 1: of this. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, who is a Democrat,
49:09
Speaker 1: had past tense like so many other politicians before data
49:13
Speaker 1: percentage became toxic, welcomed them, calling it an economic boom,
49:17
Speaker 1: boasting last year that Amazon's planned to build a twenty
49:20
Speaker 1: billion dollar AI infrastructure in Pennsylvania was the largest private
49:24
Speaker 1: sector investment in the history of Pennsylvania. Look business and
49:28
Speaker 1: industry coming to Pennsylvania. Here, look at me. I'm so
49:30
Speaker 1: happy about it. Not anymore. It was just this Tuesday,
49:36
Speaker 1: Shapiro signed an executive order imposing stringent new requirements for
49:40
Speaker 1: data center developers along the lines of what John Houston's
49:42
Speaker 1: trying to do on a Senate level in the in DC.
49:45
Speaker 1: So there it is. The concerns can be addressed up front.
49:49
Speaker 1: What do you have left protests over what AI can do?
49:58
Speaker 1: And that again is the one that's not going anywhere.
50:01
Speaker 1: No politician of any stripe or Republican or Democrat can
50:04
Speaker 1: stop that from moving forward. Again, just becomes a question
50:09
Speaker 1: of who's in charge and who's in control of what
50:11
Speaker 1: happens and what going forward happens to mean in this world.
50:15
Speaker 1: Six twenty five fifty five krc Detalk Station. Feel free
50:18
Speaker 1: to chime in. You know, I'm one voice with one opinion.
50:22
Speaker 1: Six nine here fifty five KRCD Talks Station. Happy Thursday,
50:27
Speaker 1: fifty five Krsee dot iHeart dot com the podcast page
50:30
Speaker 1: and check out Annapolitano and other guests there On fifty
50:32
Speaker 1: five KRC Morning Show, get yourself a copy of the book.
50:35
Speaker 1: So now rad interesting book. I talked to the author
50:37
Speaker 1: about yesterday, and that's Todd Starn's book, The Golden Age
50:41
Speaker 1: Has Trump Saved America basically and some good stuff, including
50:45
Speaker 1: the chapter Gals of Girth, which caused me to bust
50:50
Speaker 1: out laughing when I was talking to Todd's about it is.
50:52
Speaker 1: It's like he he presents the chapters as if he
50:56
Speaker 1: was a sort of a marital counselor to the what
50:59
Speaker 1: large leftists, I presume blue haired women of the world
51:03
Speaker 1: in helping them in their efforts to find a man.
51:06
Speaker 1: So just conceptually that sounded great. Just one more reason
51:09
Speaker 1: to get a copy of his book, which you can
51:10
Speaker 1: easily do with fifty five cares. He dot iheard dot
51:12
Speaker 1: com over the phones. Go got some local stories. But
51:15
Speaker 1: Corey's on the line. Hey Corey, welcome back, Happy Friday Eve.
51:19
Speaker 6: That's Freddie Bryan listening on the app from flooded Marysville,
51:23
Speaker 6: Ohio this morning. Welcome Where Yeah, where they're I'm working
51:29
Speaker 6: next to you where they're building another data center. But anyway,
51:33
Speaker 6: speaking out the data centers, do you think it's a
51:35
Speaker 6: coincidence where of the number of goal fired power plants
51:41
Speaker 6: that have been closed and now all of a sudden
51:45
Speaker 6: the rush of the demand of electricity. I don't think
51:48
Speaker 6: it's a coincidence. I think it's all done on purpose
51:51
Speaker 6: to push us towards, you know, the next thing. In
51:56
Speaker 6: twenty ten, there was roughly eight hundred power plan in
52:00
Speaker 6: the United States. Today there's only roughly two hundred, So
52:03
Speaker 6: three quarters of all the power plants have been closed
52:06
Speaker 6: to twenty ten. I'm just sorry, Yes, that's two thousand
52:11
Speaker 6: and ten. But uh, I don't think it's coincidence. Everybody
52:14
Speaker 6: news AI data was coming and they've been talking about
52:17
Speaker 6: it for a long long time, and along with electric
52:20
Speaker 6: cars and everything, and I just find it very very
52:22
Speaker 6: odd how hard the green.
52:26
Speaker 1: Agenda was, Well, it is a leftist agenda. You know, capitalism,
52:30
Speaker 1: bad capitalist is it creates consumers, We consume too much.
52:34
Speaker 1: I've been talking about this for years and years. I
52:37
Speaker 1: think the whole point about it is the drive down consumption.
52:41
Speaker 1: You know. The easiest way to do that is make
52:43
Speaker 1: the cost of producing literally anything or consuming literally anything
52:46
Speaker 1: which is predicated on the available electricity. Drive may make
52:49
Speaker 1: it more expensive, more costly. I mean, you certainly can't
52:53
Speaker 1: engage in business and industry during a brown out. And
52:58
Speaker 1: of course it's the more money they take from you.
53:02
Speaker 1: And this is another nefarious thing. And of course you
53:05
Speaker 1: can make an argument that this is intentionally coordinated. But
53:08
Speaker 1: everywhere you turn, more and more of your disposable income
53:11
Speaker 1: is being eroded. Wow. Look at the cost of ownership
53:15
Speaker 1: of a home. Look at the cost of rent driven
53:18
Speaker 1: through the roof COVID Why but there's a reason why. Yeah,
53:21
Speaker 1: but the fact that we have less money in our
53:24
Speaker 1: pockets because rent has gone up so high. Electricity has
53:29
Speaker 1: gone through the roof, whittling away even more. The cost
53:33
Speaker 1: of food has gone through the roof. The value of
53:36
Speaker 1: the dollar has been eroded thanks to the federal spending
53:38
Speaker 1: and the printing press running constantly, eroding your buying power. So,
53:46
Speaker 1: you know, consumption, I think, is what's driving all this.
53:48
Speaker 1: Remember we are the giant outlier. Our economy is massive
53:52
Speaker 1: compared to the rest of the world. All of that
53:54
Speaker 1: massive economy it's from taxes generated on wealth generated. We're
53:59
Speaker 1: a consumer driven economy. All of the wealth that we
54:01
Speaker 1: have is driven by consumption. How are we going to
54:05
Speaker 1: stop this pesky consumption. Well, let's just make it impossible
54:10
Speaker 1: to generate goods and services with the electricity price. Whether
54:16
Speaker 1: or not it's intentional, it certainly is real, is it not?
54:20
Speaker 1: Over local stories? You know, everybody's complaining about data centers.
54:22
Speaker 1: The growing opposition to flock cameras is literally everywhere, and
54:26
Speaker 1: it's also been described as a bipartisan thing. People don't
54:28
Speaker 1: like the surveillance state that they create, and I get
54:32
Speaker 1: that all day long. Protesters outside Hamilton City Hall yesterday
54:35
Speaker 1: demanding the leaders remove flock license plate readers. There a
54:39
Speaker 1: lot of protesters saying, hey, we have privacy concerns. We're
54:42
Speaker 1: concerned about our Fourth Amendment rights free of unreasonable searches
54:45
Speaker 1: and seizures. The concerns expressed about police abuse of the technology.
54:50
Speaker 1: I wonder where my girlfriend is. I wonder what my
54:52
Speaker 1: wife is doing, said some police officer that has access
54:54
Speaker 1: to flock data, which is stored there. Flock came out
54:57
Speaker 1: the other day and said, na, na, no, we're not
54:58
Speaker 1: going to keep it for very long. Keep it over
55:00
Speaker 1: only thirty days. Protesters say, listen, any time, any amount
55:04
Speaker 1: of data you keep for any moment in time is unacceptable.
55:07
Speaker 1: So that's not a solution to the problem. Say the
55:09
Speaker 1: protesters over to Oxford City Council. They voted to end
55:13
Speaker 1: the collaboration with Flock just the other day, six to
55:15
Speaker 1: one vote yesterday. Get them out of the community, Dave Hatter, mayor.
55:21
Speaker 1: A's Fort Thomas, isn't he Joe fort Wright? That's right,
55:26
Speaker 1: Fort Wright, Well, he's joined by he says, no flock
55:30
Speaker 1: cameras are never coming right. Fort Mitchell and it its
55:34
Speaker 1: collaboration with Flock group just Tuesday of this week, after
55:37
Speaker 1: a strong residential opposition. Fort Mitchell the second Northern Kentucky
55:42
Speaker 1: city to do it, Newport first in line to get
55:44
Speaker 1: rid of the Flock cameras. So growing opposition more and
55:48
Speaker 1: more every day. But you know that that's fine. I
55:51
Speaker 1: get where it's coming from. But I'll go back to
55:52
Speaker 1: the comment I made the other day when I found
55:54
Speaker 1: out Amazon is now going to be bringing drone delivery
55:57
Speaker 1: to five hundred cities. There is going to be filled
56:01
Speaker 1: with the damn things. And you know, every single one
56:04
Speaker 1: of them has a camera on it. What do they
56:08
Speaker 1: are they going to be storing data in the drone
56:10
Speaker 1: delivery cameras? Are they going to have that data accessible
56:13
Speaker 1: to police officers who show up with a subpoena or
56:15
Speaker 1: a search warrant to get the data from Amazon down
56:18
Speaker 1: the road. You know that's going to happen, and there
56:21
Speaker 1: will be literally thousands of those things flying around. Can
56:24
Speaker 1: you imagine every city, every township across this great land
56:28
Speaker 1: with drones from Amazon flying around. Then add on to
56:31
Speaker 1: that equation drones from Walmart and drones from every other
56:34
Speaker 1: business that normally would sell a good to you if
56:37
Speaker 1: you showed up or would send it through the postal
56:40
Speaker 1: service or ups, they'll get a drone too. I'm just
56:44
Speaker 1: imagining what the world's going to look like when you
56:46
Speaker 1: walk outside and you look up and the just sky
56:48
Speaker 1: is buzzing around with all those damn things. That's not
56:51
Speaker 1: a pretty picture from my perspective. Maybe you look forward
56:54
Speaker 1: to a world like that six thirty six fifty five
56:56
Speaker 1: KRC detalks Nation. You're received the talk station sixty fIF
57:02
Speaker 1: you have KRCD talk station an't be Thursday. Yeah, further
57:05
Speaker 1: than my point on consumption, and you know what else
57:10
Speaker 1: has gone up? And this voice it costs a lot
57:12
Speaker 1: more and has reduced to your disposable income, right, the
57:14
Speaker 1: price of gasoline. Yeah, Evil Orange man. Right, that's he's
57:18
Speaker 1: the problem. And so you can say, well, if Donald
57:21
Speaker 1: Trump hadn't launch the war, the straight of horn moves
57:22
Speaker 1: would be closed. Now hold on, Todd and John, I'm
57:24
Speaker 1: gonna take your call. I just gotta get this out
57:25
Speaker 1: of my system because on the heels of my comments
57:27
Speaker 1: in the last segment. But evil Orange man, if you hadn't,
57:29
Speaker 1: you know, launched this damn war against Iranians, or the
57:32
Speaker 1: price of gasoline will be fifteen, twenty thirty a dollar
57:35
Speaker 1: less whatever it was lower before the war started, and
57:37
Speaker 1: now we know there's a reason why it's expensive the war.
57:42
Speaker 1: Price of gas four dollars and eight cents as of yesterday,
57:44
Speaker 1: up five cents over a week. Diesels a lot worse,
57:46
Speaker 1: up four cents five point fifty a gallon up fifteen cents. Yeah,
57:51
Speaker 1: but what did the Democrats offer you earlier? Right, the
57:54
Speaker 1: price of gasoline will necessarily increase the Green World carbon
57:59
Speaker 1: reduction at with the Green New Deal, forcing the price
58:02
Speaker 1: of gasoline up. That's what they wanted. It was a
58:04
Speaker 1: matter of policy for the price of gas to go up.
58:07
Speaker 1: Now they're taking refuge behind Donald Trump causing the price
58:10
Speaker 1: of gas to go up because of the war and
58:12
Speaker 1: talking about how well you just elect us, we're gonna
58:14
Speaker 1: make the price of gasoline go down. Well, what happened
58:16
Speaker 1: to the Green New Deal and get rid of carbon?
58:17
Speaker 1: You morons? You want this, but it's to their political
58:23
Speaker 1: advantage to pretend like they don't now, isn't it. Todd
58:29
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Morning Show. Thanks for indulging me there
58:31
Speaker 1: when I got that out of my system. Good to
58:33
Speaker 1: hear from you today.
58:36
Speaker 4: Don't apologize. I enjoy this clean event. You know, people
58:44
Speaker 4: were complaining about the potential noise from a data center.
58:50
Speaker 4: What do you think it's gonna sound like when you
58:52
Speaker 4: have thousands of these lead eaters flying around delivering packages?
58:57
Speaker 7: I'm with you, Todd day. Have you ever heard one
59:01
Speaker 7: that's silent? Because every drone that I've ever been around,
59:04
Speaker 7: you know, it's it's they're pretty damn loud. I made
59:06
Speaker 7: an analogy to the little Cox airplanes that I had
59:09
Speaker 7: when I was a kid, those little gasoline powered engines
59:12
Speaker 7: that were single cylinder, and they just screamed me, you know,
59:15
Speaker 7: and I thought they were cool, but they made a
59:16
Speaker 7: hell of a lot of noise.
59:17
Speaker 1: But that's kind of what they sound like.
59:20
Speaker 4: And even the electric ones the roads make noise.
59:23
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, the ones that are capable of delivering packages,
59:28
Speaker 6: and they would make a lot of noise.
59:30
Speaker 5: Yeah.
59:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wasn't suggesting that those most of the drones
59:33
Speaker 1: out there were gasoline. It's just that the noise they
59:36
Speaker 1: make sounds just like to me the noise that the
59:38
Speaker 1: Cox gasoline airplanes used to make when I was a kid.
59:40
Speaker 1: But it's a lot of noise. I think that's what
59:42
Speaker 1: it boils down to.
59:44
Speaker 4: But then the other thing is people get excited when
59:48
Speaker 4: they get you know, the Amazon facility at all the
59:52
Speaker 4: jobs that creates. Well, what's the difference in the noise
59:56
Speaker 4: of a data center and the noise of all the
59:59
Speaker 4: trucks and going in and out.
1:00:01
Speaker 1: Of these wearouse none? Actually, the if you want to
1:00:05
Speaker 1: just think about truck noises, of course, that the Amazon
1:00:08
Speaker 1: facilities are going to make a hell of a lot
1:00:10
Speaker 1: more noise, because I doubt there are going to be
1:00:11
Speaker 1: a whole lot of semi tractor trailer trucks regularly going
1:00:14
Speaker 1: out in and out of data centers.
1:00:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I live by the biggest Amazon facility, so
1:00:22
Speaker 4: I know what it sounds like.
1:00:24
Speaker 1: Yep. But that's okay, right, Todd, Yes, it.
1:00:29
Speaker 4: Brings money and development to our area.
1:00:32
Speaker 1: It would suggest I think people are willing to deal
1:00:35
Speaker 1: with that because it doesn't represent a threat to their job.
1:00:37
Speaker 1: It actually creates more jobs because they need people to
1:00:40
Speaker 1: process and the goods and services going in and out.
1:00:42
Speaker 1: It makes perfect sense. But this goes back to the
1:00:45
Speaker 1: point I was making earlier. If fear of what AI
1:00:48
Speaker 1: can do is different than the problems a data center
1:00:52
Speaker 1: might present as a challenge for the local community noise, energy,
1:00:55
Speaker 1: and water, that is a reality that can be addressed.
1:00:59
Speaker 1: The reality of what I can do in the existential
1:01:01
Speaker 1: threat you believe it has relative to your job, or
1:01:04
Speaker 1: the exidential threat to mankind generally speaking, that is not
1:01:08
Speaker 1: going away. That's the genie that's out of the bottle.
1:01:10
Speaker 1: That's Pandora's box, which has already been open, and there's
1:01:13
Speaker 1: not a damn thing any local community can do about that.
1:01:16
Speaker 1: As frightening as that may be, appreciate the call Todd
1:01:19
Speaker 1: to do six forty five fifty five Kosity talk station John,
1:01:21
Speaker 1: if you don't mind holding, I will be happy to
1:01:22
Speaker 1: take your call when I get back. I am at
1:01:24
Speaker 1: a time and it is time for me to mention
1:01:26
Speaker 1: cover SINCEI in a strong shout out to my senior
1:01:28
Speaker 1: friends out there. If you are already on MEDICAI five
1:01:30
Speaker 1: KARC the talk station six fifty to fifty five KRSIT
1:01:34
Speaker 1: talk station, be like John, give me a call five one, three, seven,
1:01:37
Speaker 1: four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eight two three
1:01:39
Speaker 1: talk five five fifty on eight and ten funds. Hey, John,
1:01:41
Speaker 1: thanks for holding over the break. Welcome in the morning show.
1:01:44
Speaker 2: Hey, good morning, Brian. How are you. I'm a longtime listener.
1:01:48
Speaker 2: I do admit I can't listen to all four hours
1:01:51
Speaker 2: every morning. I have a question. Are you familiar with
1:01:54
Speaker 2: the Convention of States movement?
1:01:56
Speaker 1: Yes? I am.
1:01:58
Speaker 2: And have you had anybody off from the Convention of
1:02:01
Speaker 2: States to speak to it and to try to develop.
1:02:05
Speaker 1: It's been some time, but we have Joe, can you
1:02:07
Speaker 1: recall how long it's been since we had a Convention
1:02:09
Speaker 1: of States? Yeah, he can't either. It has not been recently.
1:02:13
Speaker 1: I will acknowledge that, John, but we have had folks
1:02:15
Speaker 1: on to talk about that concept.
1:02:17
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you can't listen and sense the frustration in
1:02:21
Speaker 2: your voice as well as all your collars voices about
1:02:24
Speaker 2: the size of federal government. The forty trillion dollar deficit
1:02:29
Speaker 2: we we just reached, and people like Shared Brown and
1:02:36
Speaker 2: our buddy McConnell that are professional politicians and continue to
1:02:40
Speaker 2: drive the country the wrong direction. The only way I
1:02:45
Speaker 2: know to deal with that is the Convention of States,
1:02:48
Speaker 2: you know, part of their platform. There are two major
1:02:51
Speaker 2: parts of our platform the way I understand it is
1:02:54
Speaker 2: term limits and a balance budget amendment. Yeah, and there's
1:02:57
Speaker 2: no way that our current politics. You can vote Republican
1:03:00
Speaker 2: all day long, but they get to Washington and they
1:03:05
Speaker 2: lose their minds. Uh. And the only way I know
1:03:07
Speaker 2: how to deal with this is to eliminate the professional
1:03:10
Speaker 2: politician from the from the equation. Yes, and the Convention
1:03:13
Speaker 2: of States is the only way that I know how
1:03:14
Speaker 2: to do that. So I would encourage you to try
1:03:17
Speaker 2: to try to find someone else, someone on from Convention
1:03:20
Speaker 2: to states to build a following. Uh. Their clothes, They're
1:03:25
Speaker 2: they're getting they're getting there. I think twenty some states now.
1:03:29
Speaker 1: Have a pretty seven. I think John is it's a
1:03:32
Speaker 1: sizable number that have already got gotten on board on this.
1:03:34
Speaker 1: And my my original concern on that was that the
1:03:37
Speaker 1: thing would run off the rails. What's you know, starts
1:03:40
Speaker 1: out to be a finite common sense. You know, maybe
1:03:42
Speaker 1: conservative minded approach along the lines that you just mentioned
1:03:45
Speaker 1: becomes this whole free for all with a bunch of
1:03:47
Speaker 1: leftists agenda being interjected. But the way it's set up
1:03:50
Speaker 1: that apparently that can't happen. So a defined agreement to
1:03:55
Speaker 1: go and do a couple of things like a balanced
1:03:58
Speaker 1: budget amendment or term limit. You can limit it to
1:04:00
Speaker 1: that and then have the states chime in on it. Yeah,
1:04:03
Speaker 1: the constitution provides for that, right, John, I mean there
1:04:05
Speaker 1: is a mechanism to do we let us do what
1:04:08
Speaker 1: our politicians will not do. Apparently exactly right.
1:04:11
Speaker 2: And I and I you talk about off the rails.
1:04:16
Speaker 2: How can we get off the rails anymore than we
1:04:18
Speaker 2: already are?
1:04:19
Speaker 1: No, No, we thank thank you, John.
1:04:22
Speaker 3: That's it.
1:04:24
Speaker 2: I would encourage you to pursue that, and thank you
1:04:27
Speaker 2: for your time and thank you for everything you do
1:04:28
Speaker 2: by it.
1:04:29
Speaker 1: Well, thank you for listening, man, I cannot thank you
1:04:31
Speaker 1: enough for that. I'm always humbled when anyone says they
1:04:33
Speaker 1: actually listen to the program. It's like you do. Wow. Okay,
1:04:37
Speaker 1: that's my self deprecating nature. It's the way I am anyway,
1:04:40
Speaker 1: real quick here, I have a real life illustration going
1:04:42
Speaker 1: back to the drone thing, because we only have a
1:04:43
Speaker 1: couple of minutes or a minute or so left in
1:04:45
Speaker 1: the segment before we get the Congressman Warren Davidson. You know,
1:04:48
Speaker 1: I this whole vision of Amazon drones out in the world,
1:04:53
Speaker 1: it's already a reality. The problem, one of the problems
1:04:56
Speaker 1: has already manifested itself. You go to France. This is
1:05:02
Speaker 1: Euronews reporting drugs, mobile phones, alcohol, France, where they have
1:05:08
Speaker 1: drones increasingly used to smuggle band products into prisons. Of
1:05:12
Speaker 1: course they say it's become a professional organization of airborne
1:05:16
Speaker 1: drones delivering narcotics and other contraband into the prison, a
1:05:22
Speaker 1: lot of them. According to the reporting. Initially, investigators log
1:05:26
Speaker 1: eight hundred drone deliveries in just twenty five days and
1:05:28
Speaker 1: identified a two takeoff zones. This is for one prison.
1:05:32
Speaker 1: Large scale operation carried out in August led to the
1:05:35
Speaker 1: rest of five people blah blah blah, right, seizing cocaine
1:05:38
Speaker 1: and cartons of cigarettes, a bunch of cash, and other items. Apparently,
1:05:43
Speaker 1: eighteen and twenty six drops have been recorded sixty six
1:05:47
Speaker 1: pounds of drugs into the prison for several weeks. Here's
1:05:50
Speaker 1: where the rubber meets arose on the problem and the
1:05:52
Speaker 1: ever growing reality. Okay, this is a criminal enterprise. This
1:05:55
Speaker 1: will be a tiny segment of the drone population serving
1:05:58
Speaker 1: a tiny segment of the community wanting contraband in the prison.
1:06:03
Speaker 1: Yet that tiny segment has resulted in this. For several weeks,
1:06:06
Speaker 1: drones have been preventing helicopters carrying injured people or patients
1:06:10
Speaker 1: from landing at night at the helipad at the local
1:06:13
Speaker 1: hospital because of the risk of collision. Medical helicopters can
1:06:17
Speaker 1: no longer use the hospital helipad at night and have
1:06:19
Speaker 1: had to land on another platform before patients are then
1:06:22
Speaker 1: putting an ambulance to be transferred to the hospital. Well,
1:06:26
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, a problem has already manifested itself. Now go ahead,
1:06:30
Speaker 1: put Amazon on the job. Get ever, get drones in
1:06:32
Speaker 1: five hundred cities across the United States, which will grow
1:06:35
Speaker 1: of course down the road, and then add all the
1:06:38
Speaker 1: other businesses who might want to acquire drones to do
1:06:40
Speaker 1: the same damn thing. I think we can see the
1:06:42
Speaker 1: problem unfolding, make a note of it, get ahead of it.
1:06:47
Speaker 1: I'm guessing six fifty five fifty five KC detoxtation lots
1:06:50
Speaker 1: of things to go over with Congressman Warren Davidson right
1:06:53
Speaker 1: after the top of the hour news. I sure, ob,
1:06:54
Speaker 1: we can stick around at the top of the hour
1:06:57
Speaker 1: get the top story. Congressman Davidson, I know you're not
1:07:01
Speaker 1: a huge fan of the Corporate Transparency Act, and I
1:07:03
Speaker 1: understand you were leading an effort to try to repeal it.
1:07:06
Speaker 1: Earlier this week, the US Treasury Department said that well,
1:07:09
Speaker 1: entities created in the United States, including those previously know
1:07:12
Speaker 1: as domestic reporting companies, and their beneficial owners are now
1:07:15
Speaker 1: exempt from the requirement to report beneficial ownership information. I
1:07:20
Speaker 1: guess the bill required corporations to identify all entities with
1:07:24
Speaker 1: whom they had an ownership and for interest, and so
1:07:27
Speaker 1: now they no longer have to do that. And then
1:07:29
Speaker 1: does that solve the problem or is this subject to
1:07:32
Speaker 1: maybe a change of administration and a change from the
1:07:34
Speaker 1: Treasury Department's perception of these businesses.
1:07:38
Speaker 8: Well, doesn't it sound nice like the Corporate Transparency Acts?
1:07:40
Speaker 8: Who doesn't want more corporate transparency?
1:07:42
Speaker 1: Right?
1:07:43
Speaker 8: It sounds like it applies to the biggest corporations like well,
1:07:46
Speaker 8: who's cutally pulling the strings at Google? No, it doesn't
1:07:50
Speaker 8: do that it applies to businesses that are twenty employees
1:07:53
Speaker 8: and fewer. It even applies to homeowners' associations with no employees.
1:07:57
Speaker 8: It's just volunteers. No one owns an owners association. What
1:08:01
Speaker 8: I really want to know is who controls the bank
1:08:04
Speaker 8: account for your company? Because we suspect that it might
1:08:07
Speaker 8: be a shell company. So yeah, we want to crack
1:08:10
Speaker 8: down on shell companies, and we want to cut down
1:08:11
Speaker 8: on money laundering. But you can't presume that owning a business,
1:08:15
Speaker 8: particularly owning a small business, means that you're engaged in
1:08:19
Speaker 8: money wandering. That's unconstitutional. So the Biden administration imposed this.
1:08:24
Speaker 8: They basically said, if you don't tell us what you own,
1:08:27
Speaker 8: we're going to put you in jail and find you,
1:08:31
Speaker 8: you know, ten thousand dollars. So if you look at that,
1:08:36
Speaker 8: it sounds like the burden is really on corporations. The
1:08:39
Speaker 8: reality is the individual basically has to disclose what what
1:08:43
Speaker 8: do you own? I mean, the corporation does the filing,
1:08:46
Speaker 8: but it's essentially a registry of what every individual owns.
1:08:50
Speaker 8: It creates a registry what do you own? Brian? Which
1:08:53
Speaker 8: companies are you affiliated with? And how do we target you?
1:08:57
Speaker 8: I mean so it's an unconstitutional violation of the Fourth Amendment.
1:09:01
Speaker 8: And he'll say, well, we need to know these kinds
1:09:03
Speaker 8: of things. Well, you can still know. I mean, if
1:09:04
Speaker 8: you want to create a business that's a registered business,
1:09:07
Speaker 8: you have to register in the state of Ohio, where
1:09:09
Speaker 8: a state. Lots of big companies are in Delaware, but
1:09:13
Speaker 8: you know, you file corporate papers, that's how the company
1:09:17
Speaker 8: is there. And when you file, there's a reference to
1:09:19
Speaker 8: who did the filing. And even if you use a
1:09:21
Speaker 8: law firm, if there's a need to know who's behind it,
1:09:25
Speaker 8: they give a warrant or a subpoena and the law
1:09:26
Speaker 8: firm complies with the warreannt or subpoena. So this is
1:09:30
Speaker 8: all doable. Every year, you got to file taxes, so
1:09:34
Speaker 8: that's already a surveillance scheme and you're disclosing all this today.
1:09:38
Speaker 8: And then here's what really drove it is banks have
1:09:41
Speaker 8: these provisions called know your Customer. They're obligated to know
1:09:44
Speaker 8: who their customers are. And the government was cracking down
1:09:48
Speaker 8: on banks because you know, they're moving lots of money
1:09:51
Speaker 8: turns out to be illicit finance and laundered through conventional
1:09:55
Speaker 8: banking systems and the bank said, well, don't blame us.
1:09:59
Speaker 8: We couldn't possibly we know who our customers are even
1:10:02
Speaker 8: though they're moving millions of dollars. And for example, Epstein
1:10:05
Speaker 8: affiliated companies moved lots of money into Virgin Islands. Reached
1:10:08
Speaker 8: the settlement with them for not knowing their customers and
1:10:11
Speaker 8: doing a list of finance and I say them Chase,
1:10:15
Speaker 8: JP Morgan Chase had to pay fines and hundreds of
1:10:18
Speaker 8: millions of dollars of fines elsewhere because they didn't cut
1:10:21
Speaker 8: down on any of these shell companies, so they lobbied
1:10:25
Speaker 8: and got a bill through. Then it puts this burden
1:10:27
Speaker 8: on the smallest, least sophisticated businesses. You know, a drywall
1:10:31
Speaker 8: contractor somewhere never heard of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.
1:10:35
Speaker 8: But if you don't file a form with them, your
1:10:38
Speaker 8: risk going to jail and paying a ten thousand dollars fine.
1:10:41
Speaker 8: So it's a crazy or welly in system. We are
1:10:45
Speaker 8: trying to get it done undone by law. And why
1:10:48
Speaker 8: because executive action can be more easily done. President Trump
1:10:51
Speaker 8: did an executive order fencein followed through and it'll make
1:10:54
Speaker 8: it harder. You have to do a rule making fencein
1:10:57
Speaker 8: did a rule making and applied, you know, some thing
1:11:00
Speaker 8: that is constitutional. And nevertheless, the Democrats are seeing this
1:11:05
Speaker 8: in a partisan way and they're pitching it. So we
1:11:09
Speaker 8: need to do it permanently and get it through as
1:11:11
Speaker 8: a law. So I'm told this is going to pass
1:11:13
Speaker 8: as part of a writer on a bigger package by
1:11:16
Speaker 8: the end of the year. Speaker Johnson is committed to that.
1:11:19
Speaker 8: The White House lea aison team committed to that. So
1:11:21
Speaker 8: I'm hopeful that we get it across the finish line.
1:11:23
Speaker 8: It looks like we're going to get it done. Got
1:11:25
Speaker 8: one hundred and ninety three co sponsors on the bill,
1:11:27
Speaker 8: so a lot.
1:11:28
Speaker 1: Of up could good. I am glad to hear that
1:11:30
Speaker 1: that level of support because I share your concerns about
1:11:32
Speaker 1: this pivoting over something I am absolutely outraged about. Is
1:11:36
Speaker 1: more and more information pours out over the amount of
1:11:38
Speaker 1: fraud that's out in the world based on government programs,
1:11:40
Speaker 1: people bilking us in American taxpayer at I was getting
1:11:42
Speaker 1: ripped off. We've been all paying attention to the war. However,
1:11:47
Speaker 1: apparently some good news over the summer. The House passed
1:11:50
Speaker 1: a package of eleven anti fraud bills. How come we
1:11:53
Speaker 1: didn't hear about this, Congressman Davidson, what was past that?
1:11:56
Speaker 1: Has the Senate taken any of them up?
1:11:59
Speaker 8: Yeah, So if you look at it back in detection
1:12:02
Speaker 8: systems on this as part of what happened, Doge came
1:12:05
Speaker 8: in and made a lot of data public that was like,
1:12:08
Speaker 8: here's where some of the payments are going. And there
1:12:10
Speaker 8: aren't matching principles that would be done in very small businesses,
1:12:15
Speaker 8: So can't we follow the money? Investigative journalism helped motivate
1:12:20
Speaker 8: the agencies that are doing this. But you know, when
1:12:22
Speaker 8: I talked with auditor Keith Faber run for Attorney General,
1:12:25
Speaker 8: he was exposing some of this as auditor that's going on,
1:12:28
Speaker 8: And I think fundamentally, these tools in place will put
1:12:31
Speaker 8: a bigger burden on states to detect it. And part
1:12:34
Speaker 8: of the problem is right now, states aren't incredibly incentivized
1:12:38
Speaker 8: by it. And in the long run, if you ran
1:12:40
Speaker 8: the safety Net as a state program and the federal
1:12:43
Speaker 8: government simply had a federal office that made sure you're
1:12:46
Speaker 8: not double dipping in multiple states, that would be the
1:12:49
Speaker 8: way that aligns incentives. Because right now, some states, let's
1:12:54
Speaker 8: pick on California or Illinois for example, they view that
1:12:57
Speaker 8: the federal dollars or at least get spent and to
1:13:00
Speaker 8: Chicago or La So why would we care about the fraud.
1:13:03
Speaker 8: It's all federal cash coming into the city. And if
1:13:06
Speaker 8: you look at Medicaid, one of the things we turned
1:13:08
Speaker 8: off last year was payments to illegals. California was counting
1:13:12
Speaker 8: that as they're matching dollars. So when states put a
1:13:17
Speaker 8: dollar of medicaid money in, they get matching dollars from
1:13:21
Speaker 8: the federal government. That multiplies it. So they're like, well, yeah,
1:13:24
Speaker 8: why wouldn't we want to spend more money because every
1:13:27
Speaker 8: time we put a dollar in, we get more than
1:13:30
Speaker 8: a dollar back. In the case of Obamacare, you get
1:13:33
Speaker 8: nine dollars back for every dollar you put in. In
1:13:35
Speaker 8: the case of traditional Medicaid, you put four dollars in,
1:13:38
Speaker 8: you get six dollars back.
1:13:40
Speaker 1: It's amazing how that result has the result that you're
1:13:42
Speaker 1: talking about here, Congressman Davidson, with great reluctance, I don't
1:13:46
Speaker 1: know what your schedules like, I'm inviting you to stay
1:13:48
Speaker 1: over for one more segment. Mean, we can talk about
1:13:50
Speaker 1: Pfizer renewal and perhaps the Clarity Act, which evolves crypto
1:13:53
Speaker 1: if you have the time. If you don't, I certainly understand.
1:13:55
Speaker 1: Can you stick around?
1:13:57
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'd be honest.
1:13:57
Speaker 2: Thanks.
1:13:58
Speaker 1: One more segment with Congressman Warren David and thank you
1:14:00
Speaker 1: very much, really important information company the talk station seventy
1:14:05
Speaker 1: nine fifty about krcity talk station Appy Friday Eve loved
1:14:08
Speaker 1: Congressman Warn David's is on talking common sense, logic and reason.
1:14:12
Speaker 1: He's one of the few we've got that we can
1:14:13
Speaker 1: count on along those lines and pivoting over to something
1:14:16
Speaker 1: I believe you and I see eye to eye on.
1:14:17
Speaker 1: I've always believed to be believe that that FISA section
1:14:20
Speaker 1: seven and two is a violation of a Fourth Amendment
1:14:22
Speaker 1: rights and it's been abused quite sometimes. It's up for renewal,
1:14:26
Speaker 1: and so a question is do we reform FISA or
1:14:29
Speaker 1: do we do a clean authorization? Where are we on this,
1:14:33
Speaker 1: Congressman David from Davidson from your perspective.
1:14:37
Speaker 8: Well, it actually laughed a little bit. And so what
1:14:41
Speaker 8: does that mean? Does that mean that the government stops
1:14:43
Speaker 8: spying on folks? And the answer is no. And of course, look,
1:14:47
Speaker 8: the foreign intelligence part of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act
1:14:50
Speaker 8: is fine. We do want to collect intelligence on foreign adversaries.
1:14:54
Speaker 8: What happens is the mechanism for doing it catches an
1:14:57
Speaker 8: Americans communication when it becomes foreign. And so if you've
1:15:01
Speaker 8: spoken to communicated with anyone offshore, and frankly, in some
1:15:05
Speaker 8: cases if your email or phone calls are even routed offshore,
1:15:09
Speaker 8: then the communication itself is collected. And then because it's
1:15:14
Speaker 8: already stored in a database, the government makes the case that, well,
1:15:18
Speaker 8: then we can search it however we want. They call
1:15:21
Speaker 8: it querying, so it's clear that they're not doing a
1:15:23
Speaker 8: Fourth Amendment search. But people with the saurus know that
1:15:28
Speaker 8: querry is another word for search. Yeah, and so they
1:15:32
Speaker 8: do cute stuff like that, which you know, very disingenuous.
1:15:36
Speaker 8: And so we've tried to put it into that and say, look,
1:15:38
Speaker 8: if you know you're searching Brian Thomas, an American citizen,
1:15:43
Speaker 8: then you get to get a warrant. And if fine,
1:15:45
Speaker 8: if you're want to go up to Brian Trump Thomas,
1:15:47
Speaker 8: the British guy, querry away, have a great time. And
1:15:52
Speaker 8: in any case, if there's an exigent circumstance and you
1:15:54
Speaker 8: get a communication that's flagged that says thanks for the
1:15:58
Speaker 8: bomb making classes, well, well, Okay, let's figure out how
1:16:02
Speaker 8: urgent this situation is. And you don't need a warrant
1:16:06
Speaker 8: in an exigent circumstance, I an emergency. And so that
1:16:11
Speaker 8: has made it through the House kind of with modest
1:16:14
Speaker 8: reforms in the past, it always dies in the Senate.
1:16:17
Speaker 8: And that's kind of where we're at. The Senate wouldn't
1:16:20
Speaker 8: take up even modest reforms this time. They want clean
1:16:24
Speaker 8: and the public really doesn't want clean, and that's why
1:16:27
Speaker 8: clean won't pass well.
1:16:28
Speaker 1: I mean, if you have evidence of a commission of
1:16:29
Speaker 1: a crime, that's easy to get a warrant from a judge.
1:16:31
Speaker 1: I mean, they're already fairly easy to obtain under any
1:16:35
Speaker 1: given circumstance. But I don't see that as being a
1:16:38
Speaker 1: huge challenge for law enforcement officials. You know, go in,
1:16:42
Speaker 1: like all law enforcement agencies do, talk to a judge
1:16:44
Speaker 1: and make sure everything's clean and our rights are protected.
1:16:49
Speaker 8: Yeah, look, there are some specific scenarios that you go, yeah,
1:16:52
Speaker 8: I'm glad that we have some tools in place to
1:16:55
Speaker 8: protect America. So look, you know, Mike Johnson was always
1:16:58
Speaker 8: a clean, get a warrant guy. He became Speaker and
1:17:01
Speaker 8: then he changed his vote cost us the passage last
1:17:04
Speaker 8: Congress of what we thought we were going to get
1:17:07
Speaker 8: the reforms. And we said, well, what changed? He said, well,
1:17:11
Speaker 8: when you become a speaker, you get the briefing. There
1:17:13
Speaker 8: you go, Please, sir, give me the briefing. You know,
1:17:17
Speaker 8: I've had a top secret clearance from my ranger regiment days.
1:17:21
Speaker 8: Every member of Congress, in theory, can be read in
1:17:23
Speaker 8: on anything, depending on what the legislative purpose is. Of course,
1:17:28
Speaker 8: not everyone should be read in on some things. Not
1:17:31
Speaker 8: advocating for ilan Omar to get all the briefings. But
1:17:35
Speaker 8: if you look at it, I said that, and this
1:17:38
Speaker 8: year we got briefings and to those to Speaker Johnson,
1:17:41
Speaker 8: he led some good reform. Rick Crawford became the chairman
1:17:43
Speaker 8: of Intel has handled his chairmanship in a very different way,
1:17:48
Speaker 8: and so there's been a collaborative set of reforms. It's
1:17:51
Speaker 8: a more narrow warrant requirement than what we've pushed for
1:17:54
Speaker 8: in the past. That allows definition around what is this
1:17:58
Speaker 8: exigent circumstance? You might know immediately, but if you're quarry
1:18:02
Speaker 8: in the same person three days in a row, I
1:18:04
Speaker 8: think you can say that you get time to get
1:18:06
Speaker 8: a warrant, right, And so there's a backlooking and look,
1:18:09
Speaker 8: we've become so fixated on this in part because there's
1:18:12
Speaker 8: a sunset provision, right, there are other provisions of the
1:18:15
Speaker 8: Patriot Act that don't sunset. And this is Title one.
1:18:19
Speaker 8: This is where the real abuse is. This is Title
1:18:20
Speaker 8: one is what was abused to go after President Trump.
1:18:24
Speaker 8: And in the midst of all this, things that aren't
1:18:26
Speaker 8: even covered by laws, very clearly are out of control.
1:18:30
Speaker 8: Flock cameras are everywhere. I think there's like one hundred
1:18:32
Speaker 8: and twenty nine thousand of them everywhere. I think one
1:18:35
Speaker 8: hundred thousand of them must be in the eighth District
1:18:37
Speaker 8: of Ohio. Everywhere I go, I see flock cameras, and
1:18:40
Speaker 8: everyone wants to be safe. But how do you use
1:18:43
Speaker 8: safeguard the public against that?
1:18:44
Speaker 5: It shifts it.
1:18:46
Speaker 8: What really shifts is is if anyone makes an accusation
1:18:48
Speaker 8: and say we've got flock data, well that's treated as
1:18:53
Speaker 8: binding and now you are guilty in your position where
1:18:57
Speaker 8: you're viewed as guilty and you have to prove your innocence,
1:19:00
Speaker 8: and that's not our constitution. So it is a corruption
1:19:03
Speaker 8: of our constitution. We're losing it and we're effectively building
1:19:06
Speaker 8: up essentially a police state.
1:19:09
Speaker 1: Police state, there's no doubt about it. And quickly we
1:19:13
Speaker 1: can talk briefly. We'll hold you over a little bit
1:19:15
Speaker 1: here and ask you about the Clarity Act. Donald Trump
1:19:18
Speaker 1: just said earlier this week or maybe even yesterday, we
1:19:20
Speaker 1: need for Congress to take the next step and pass
1:19:21
Speaker 1: the Clarity Act, which relates to crypto. Congressman Davidson, are
1:19:25
Speaker 1: you in favor of this and what will it mean
1:19:27
Speaker 1: if you can boil it down to its finest points.
1:19:31
Speaker 8: Well, there are securities like stocks, they're regulated by the
1:19:34
Speaker 8: Securius and Exchange Commission. Their commodities like corn and soybean futures,
1:19:37
Speaker 8: they're regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
1:19:40
Speaker 2: And then you have.
1:19:41
Speaker 8: Real world assets, you know, titles to cars, titles, deeds
1:19:44
Speaker 8: to property. You know, they're regulated differently. And because crypto
1:19:50
Speaker 8: is sort of new, it's not clear where the lines
1:19:53
Speaker 8: begin and end when it's tokenized or it becomes quote crypto,
1:19:58
Speaker 8: and we've needed a law to make that clear. Unfortunately
1:20:01
Speaker 8: a lot of folks have you know, Gary Gensler in particular,
1:20:05
Speaker 8: under the Bide administration went to war with crypto. Elizabeth
1:20:08
Speaker 8: Warren shared Brown they've been very anti crypto, and what
1:20:11
Speaker 8: we really need is just clarity so that you don't
1:20:13
Speaker 8: have these, you know, arbitrage events where people are exploiting
1:20:18
Speaker 8: securities laws, running pump and dump scams and a lot
1:20:21
Speaker 8: of people have gotten hurt by this, and the remedy
1:20:23
Speaker 8: is a law, so it's clear this is legal and
1:20:26
Speaker 8: that's illegal, and you can cut down on the bad
1:20:29
Speaker 8: actors and then focus on development of really good use cases.
1:20:33
Speaker 8: That's why there's been a lot of blocking of this.
1:20:36
Speaker 8: Some of the bad actors want to keep doing bad
1:20:38
Speaker 8: things and some of the good people want to protect
1:20:40
Speaker 8: their market shares, so which isn't so good, you know.
1:20:43
Speaker 8: So we need the law so that we have a
1:20:45
Speaker 8: clear bright line test and the regulators can do their
1:20:47
Speaker 8: work far enough.
1:20:48
Speaker 1: Congress More and David So, thank you so much for

1:22:05
Speaker 1: Joe's already updated the blog page to include that information
1:22:08
Speaker 1: for you. So that again the date for the event
1:22:10
Speaker 1: with Vive August thirty first, at five pm. Related to
1:22:14
Speaker 1: nothing I've been talking about this morning, but I'd like
1:22:16
Speaker 1: to give this information out because of my personal happiness.
1:22:21
Speaker 1: You know, cancer cancer. We all like if you listen
1:22:23
Speaker 1: to me, you know, on lymphoma, and I've got this
1:22:25
Speaker 1: great report from my doctor that after the treatments I
1:22:28
Speaker 1: had that the lymphoma is now disappeared, there is no
1:22:30
Speaker 1: sign of it, and it'll probably come back. That's okay.
1:22:33
Speaker 1: But one of the things I learned through my cancer saga,
1:22:36
Speaker 1: if you want to call it that, is sugar and
1:22:39
Speaker 1: sugar is cancer just loves sugar. It eats it up,
1:22:42
Speaker 1: it just soaks it up like a sponge. And so
1:22:45
Speaker 1: by eliminating sugar, you can reduce the fuel for the cancer.
1:22:48
Speaker 1: So that's great thing, but sugar is terrible for you anyway,
1:22:51
Speaker 1: haven't We learned a few lessons and a few things
1:22:52
Speaker 1: from RFKA Junior. Like him or not, he's providing some
1:22:55
Speaker 1: sound information. You've been hearing for years about how bad corn,
1:22:58
Speaker 1: syrup and sugar is for your diet. Yeah, well, now
1:23:00
Speaker 1: there's a direct relationship between sugary beverage and stomach cancer.
1:23:06
Speaker 1: Stomach cancer. Now it's been previously reported more research out there.
1:23:11
Speaker 1: In the past sugary drinks are tied to higher rates
1:23:13
Speaker 1: of liver, breast, and colorectal cancer malignancies, but now it's
1:23:17
Speaker 1: ultimately been tied to stomach cancer as well. And according
1:23:20
Speaker 1: to the research from Massachusets, Massachusetts General Brigham Cancer Institute
1:23:25
Speaker 1: in Boston, one or more sugary drinks per day linked
1:23:32
Speaker 1: to triple the risk of gastric cancer compared with fewer
1:23:36
Speaker 1: than one serving per month. And as sad report, and
1:23:39
Speaker 1: this I guess doesn't come as a shock to me,
1:23:40
Speaker 1: but seeing it and writing really as wow. We drink
1:23:43
Speaker 1: a lot of sugary drinks. Sixty three percent two thirds
1:23:46
Speaker 1: of adults report consuming sugar sweetened beverages at least once
1:23:49
Speaker 1: a day. And I remember working with a person at
1:23:54
Speaker 1: my last job over at the Legal Department probably drank
1:23:57
Speaker 1: about four or five Mountain dews at every day. And
1:24:03
Speaker 1: I go back to my personal experience because I rarely
1:24:06
Speaker 1: I didn't drink miny SODA's at all, but you know,
1:24:08
Speaker 1: sugary drinks include you know, like fruit juices which have
1:24:11
Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of concentrated sugar in them, and anything
1:24:15
Speaker 1: literally with high fruit toose corn syrup. Get just to
1:24:19
Speaker 1: eliminate them. And I did that a couple coming up
1:24:21
Speaker 1: on October, it'll be two years when I really took
1:24:24
Speaker 1: an effort to cut out all processed sugar from my diet.
1:24:27
Speaker 1: And I will be honest with you, I didn't know that,
1:24:29
Speaker 1: you know, wouldn't be able to register whether it would
1:24:31
Speaker 1: be feeling better or not. But yeah, upon reflection, I
1:24:34
Speaker 1: do feel a whole lot better for having eliminated it.
1:24:37
Speaker 1: Oh and parenthetically, in addition to that, I lost twenty
1:24:39
Speaker 1: pounds over the course of a year and a half,
1:24:41
Speaker 1: so there's that tangential benefit as well. So it's good
1:24:44
Speaker 1: for you to eliminate that. Try to eliminate all the
1:24:47
Speaker 1: sugar you can from your diet. You will recognize it
1:24:49
Speaker 1: in your attitude, your outlook, your you'll be happier for it,
1:24:53
Speaker 1: and of course it's good for you to eliminate it
1:24:56
Speaker 1: get ahead of the cancer problem. And of course if
1:24:58
Speaker 1: you are dealing with a cancer diet ignosis. I can't
1:25:01
Speaker 1: recommend it enough to eliminate that sugar. God bless each
1:25:04
Speaker 1: and every one of you. Six forty six the fifty

Speaker 1: morning Jay. He'll be on at eight thirty talk aviation issues.
1:25:27
Speaker 1: And uh, you know again, you've got choices coming into
1:25:29
Speaker 1: the no member elections. And who is in favor of
1:25:31
Speaker 1: asking your children about their sexuality, I mean young children.
1:25:34
Speaker 1: Who's in favor of telling your young children they can
1:25:36
Speaker 1: pick and choose whatever gender they want. That will be
1:25:39
Speaker 1: the Democrats. And we've got a This is where the
1:25:43
Speaker 1: Democrats reveal themselves as eating their own. They do not
1:25:46
Speaker 1: allow or want dissent or discussion. They do not want
1:25:49
Speaker 1: an argument about over whether or not this kind of thing,
1:25:52
Speaker 1: which I'll mention here in a moment, is appropriate. Is
1:25:55
Speaker 1: it appropriate? We go to a Merriwether Lewis Elementary school
1:26:01
Speaker 1: in the bastion of left wing ideology, Portland, Oregon, they
1:26:06
Speaker 1: repainted their traditional rainbow Pride flag, which nobody there had
1:26:09
Speaker 1: any problem with, with what they called an intersex inclusive
1:26:13
Speaker 1: progress initial cap on all that variant, along with a
1:26:18
Speaker 1: quote unquote identity flower assignment. Now one mom of a
1:26:23
Speaker 1: eleven year old child in that school district, Alison Roberts,
1:26:26
Speaker 1: self described liberal, long term democrat, she fits right in
1:26:31
Speaker 1: in the liberal environment of Portland, Oregon. She even admitted so.
1:26:34
Speaker 1: But this was a bridge too far even for her.
1:26:39
Speaker 1: Her child was given an assignment. This identity flower crap
1:26:43
Speaker 1: asked the students to identify and discuss their gender identity
1:26:48
Speaker 1: with classmates and teachers. O, what is this some sort
1:26:53
Speaker 1: of group psychology experiment? Is the concept even remotely appropriate?
1:26:58
Speaker 1: And of course this Alison is like, no, I know,
1:27:01
Speaker 1: and so what she do? She complained, wrote an open
1:27:05
Speaker 1: letter to the community opposing the policies, passed it out
1:27:08
Speaker 1: on public sidewalks on outside school property, and that's when
1:27:12
Speaker 1: the leftist rebelled against one of their own. She was
1:27:15
Speaker 1: issued a one year trespass order, this after a heated
1:27:18
Speaker 1: exchange apparently with another parent, and barred her from attending
1:27:22
Speaker 1: school events, including her own child's graduation ceremony. She was
1:27:28
Speaker 1: reportedly told it was a result of her engaging in harassment, intimidation,
1:27:32
Speaker 1: and threatening behavior as part of a pattern of atomus
1:27:34
Speaker 1: and harassment targeting vulnerable members of the community. You mean
1:27:38
Speaker 1: like you're targeting her for interjecting a logical and reasonable
1:27:41
Speaker 1: complaint about this new movement that the school had entered into. No, no,
1:27:45
Speaker 1: we can't have any of that. Kick her out. Thanks
1:27:48
Speaker 1: for the Liberty Justice Center. They have taken up her
1:27:50
Speaker 1: case and filed a lawsuit against the school. They say
1:27:54
Speaker 1: they violated her First and fourteenth Amendments, stifling and retaliating
1:27:58
Speaker 1: against her speech which criticized the school policies Council. At
1:28:05
Speaker 1: the Liberty Justice Center, not only is that problematic for
1:28:09
Speaker 1: the First Amendment, but really undermines our entire democratic system
1:28:13
Speaker 1: of government. He said, we have something called the marketplace
1:28:16
Speaker 1: of ideas, with each citizen being supposed to participate, and
1:28:20
Speaker 1: hopefully through that conversation you arrive at the best policy
1:28:24
Speaker 1: prescription for everyone. See this is where they collapse, these
1:28:27
Speaker 1: crazy leftists. What do you get from them? Screaming, yelling, anger,
1:28:33
Speaker 1: name calling, disruption of things. But that does not advance
1:28:38
Speaker 1: the argument. It doesn't advance their point of view, and
1:28:40
Speaker 1: it doesn't even explain it. You know, how about you
1:28:43
Speaker 1: first explaining why you think that it's appropriate to bring
1:28:46
Speaker 1: this type of discussion into an eleven year old's classroom
1:28:49
Speaker 1: in the first place. Can we at least have that
1:28:50
Speaker 1: discussion and then move over to how the impact it
1:28:53
Speaker 1: might have the embarrassing conversations you're having even introducing the
1:28:57
Speaker 1: concept of selection of gen as if we really have that,
1:29:02
Speaker 1: Can we have a conversation about even do we have that?
1:29:05
Speaker 1: Can you change your chromosome or reality? Can we have
1:29:07
Speaker 1: a conversation about what it means to be a man
1:29:09
Speaker 1: or a woman? You say you can't identify what a
1:29:11
Speaker 1: woman is. So many leftists have taken that position. Hell,
1:29:13
Speaker 1: we got a person on the Supreme Court's claim they
1:29:15
Speaker 1: couldn't identify of what a woman is because they're not
1:29:18
Speaker 1: a doctor or something. Well ask a doctor, Uh, do
1:29:21
Speaker 1: you have a penis? You're a guy? Can we boil
1:29:23
Speaker 1: it down to something simple like that without even a
1:29:25
Speaker 1: chromosome test? But you see, they don't want to have that.
1:29:30
Speaker 1: So what do they do. They get a trespass order.
1:29:34
Speaker 1: They prevent her from even participating or in trying to
1:29:38
Speaker 1: participate in the conversation. So back up from this particular illustration,
1:29:43
Speaker 1: who is on that side right, the farthest left in
1:29:48
Speaker 1: the leftist camp that has become the Democrat hiding place,
1:29:52
Speaker 1: the big tent. They're winning the day, and little by little,
1:29:56
Speaker 1: I guess they're going to eat their own So you
1:29:58
Speaker 1: centrist Democrats out there, take a look at what they
1:30:00
Speaker 1: did with Allison Roberts out in Portland, Oregon. And there,
1:30:04
Speaker 1: but for the grace of God, go you seven fifty
1:30:08
Speaker 1: six eight five here at fifty five ker Ceet Talk Station.
1:30:13
Speaker 1: My name is Brian Thomas, hosted the fifty five Kersey
1:30:15
Speaker 1: Morning Show, and I love talking with Evike Romsromi he
1:30:18
Speaker 1: hopefully the next cover of the State of Ohio, which
1:30:20
Speaker 1: should be the next governor, demonstrably far better than his opposition,
1:30:24
Speaker 1: Amy Lockdown acting v Vike Ramas from me, welcome back
1:30:26
Speaker 1: to the morning Show. Good to hear from you today, sir.
1:30:29
Speaker 3: Good morning, Brian.
1:30:30
Speaker 1: How are you doing doing really well? You know it's
1:30:31
Speaker 1: become a common occurrence here in the Morning Show. Every
1:30:33
Speaker 1: Monday at seven twenty we start a conversation with the
1:30:35
Speaker 1: former vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati, Christopher Smithman,
1:30:38
Speaker 1: and he of late has been singing your praises and
1:30:40
Speaker 1: encourage you my listening audience to get involved in your
1:30:42
Speaker 1: campaign and of course vote for you. In November. You're
1:30:45
Speaker 1: having an event with where you are appearing as the
1:30:47
Speaker 1: keynote speaker on August thirty first. Christopher Smithment's kind of
1:30:50
Speaker 1: behind this effort at Jim and Jackson and I'm looking
1:30:53
Speaker 1: forward to that one. How about you, sir.
1:30:55
Speaker 3: We're really looking forward to it. It's gonna be a
1:30:58
Speaker 3: good time. It's gonna be a good way to tell
1:31:01
Speaker 3: people just directly who we are and what we stand for.
1:31:04
Speaker 3: And that's something I've been doing throughout this race. Brian,
1:31:07
Speaker 3: a little differently than my opponent is. We show up
1:31:10
Speaker 3: at town halls, we show up at county fairs, we
1:31:13
Speaker 3: take questions unscripted. That's the way I note only want
1:31:16
Speaker 3: to run this campaign. I want to continue to lead
1:31:19
Speaker 3: the state as a governor who listens to the people
1:31:22
Speaker 3: of Ohio. And I'm excited about what we're going to
1:31:25
Speaker 3: be able to achieve. I mean, look, it's a unique
1:31:28
Speaker 3: moment for Ohio. On one hand, we can continue to
1:31:32
Speaker 3: step on the gas on economic expansion, raise wages, bring
1:31:36
Speaker 3: more high paying jobs to the state, takes our education system,
1:31:40
Speaker 3: or on the other hand, depends on what we do
1:31:42
Speaker 3: in November. You could look at high paying jobs fleeing
1:31:45
Speaker 3: this state, electric bills and healthcare costs continuing to go up,
1:31:49
Speaker 3: in public schools continuing to fail in their outcomes. And
1:31:53
Speaker 3: I think that's the choice that's on the ballot this November,
1:31:57
Speaker 3: and I'm excited for us to.
1:31:58
Speaker 2: Get it right.
1:32:00
Speaker 1: Gramaswam me I appreciate and I want to emphasize your
1:32:03
Speaker 1: unscripted ability to deal with people answer questions on the fly.
1:32:07
Speaker 1: You don't need one because you have confidence in your
1:32:09
Speaker 1: positions and you're prepared to defend them and articulate the
1:32:11
Speaker 1: reasons why at any given moment in time if you
1:32:15
Speaker 1: have to rely on notes or you can't. You don't
1:32:16
Speaker 1: want to answer questions or hide from questions. That to
1:32:19
Speaker 1: me is a real red flag for people when they're
1:32:21
Speaker 1: considering who's going to be the head of the entire
1:32:24
Speaker 1: state of Ohio. And I'm you inspire me when I
1:32:27
Speaker 1: hear you speak Vi vik Ramaswami, and it was something
1:32:29
Speaker 1: to be said about being weed to some core principles
1:32:31
Speaker 1: and being able to defend them. I mean, I got
1:32:32
Speaker 1: to do it every morning here. I get questions on
1:32:34
Speaker 1: the fly. I don't know what's going to be asked
1:32:36
Speaker 1: of me, right, I mean, shouldn't you have that sound
1:32:38
Speaker 1: set of principles.
1:32:40
Speaker 3: If you're going to be the governor of this state,
1:32:42
Speaker 3: if you actually want to lead, then I do think
1:32:44
Speaker 3: that's a requirement. My opponent has spent eighteen months of
1:32:47
Speaker 3: this campaign without any evidence of her taking a single
1:32:52
Speaker 3: voter question. But I don't want to waste time talking
1:32:55
Speaker 3: about her. I want to share with you why I'm
1:32:58
Speaker 3: doing what I'm doing. And Cincinnati yesterday, I'll actually be
1:33:02
Speaker 3: back in Cincinnati later today. So we're crisscrossing the state,
1:33:06
Speaker 3: but it's two Cincinnati days back to back for me.
1:33:09
Speaker 3: And I'm doing this because I'm grateful to Cincinnati, to Ohio,
1:33:14
Speaker 3: to our country for giving me opportunities in this state
1:33:18
Speaker 3: that would not have been available to a kid like
1:33:21
Speaker 3: me in any other country on planet Earth. And I
1:33:25
Speaker 3: do believe in that American dream. I do believe that
1:33:28
Speaker 3: the American dream is real, and I want to pass
1:33:31
Speaker 3: that on to our kids and their generations so they're
1:33:33
Speaker 3: able to do even bigger things than I did, but
1:33:37
Speaker 3: to be able to do it by staying here, right
1:33:39
Speaker 3: here in Ohio. And I think Cincinnati, particularly Bright, is
1:33:43
Speaker 3: ready to turn a corner. I've spent a lot of
1:33:45
Speaker 3: time in my hometown. I think that if we're able
1:33:48
Speaker 3: to clean up crime in the inner city, I think
1:33:50
Speaker 3: if we're able to get smart about how we about
1:33:52
Speaker 3: our becoming a zero income tax state, some of the
1:33:55
Speaker 3: other economic development policy, I think we can bring a
1:33:58
Speaker 3: boom to the Queen City. Again. We're a state of
1:34:02
Speaker 3: great cities, okay, between Cincinnati and Dayton, and Cleveland and Akron, Youngstown, Columbus, Toledo,
1:34:10
Speaker 3: you name it. That is an advantage for Ohio. But
1:34:13
Speaker 3: we're not fully taking advantage of our great cities like
1:34:16
Speaker 3: Cincinnati until we create clean up urban crime, until we
1:34:20
Speaker 3: bring down the cost of electricity, until we address some
1:34:23
Speaker 3: of the workforce shortages through improving our education system. Those
1:34:27
Speaker 3: are the things I'm ready to roll up my sleeves
1:34:29
Speaker 3: and get started on starting in January. And we have
1:34:31
Speaker 3: a lot to do starting on day one.
1:34:32
Speaker 1: And since you mentioned electricity, of course, that's one of
1:34:34
Speaker 1: the dominant conversation points when we're talking about artificial intelligence.
1:34:37
Speaker 1: A growing outrage over AI data center showing up a
1:34:40
Speaker 1: people's neighborhoods. The biggest arguments consumption of power, which is
1:34:43
Speaker 1: going to lead to higher energy bills, noise, I guess
1:34:47
Speaker 1: unsightly reality those although they're no different than an Amazon facility,
1:34:50
Speaker 1: and also the artificial intelligence itself I think is behind driving,
1:34:56
Speaker 1: behind driving some of this. But all of the problems
1:34:59
Speaker 1: appear people are complaining about can be addressed upfront with
1:35:02
Speaker 1: the exception of what AI does. Maybe eliminates job, maybe
1:35:05
Speaker 1: it's it'll be behind some nefarious decision making, but we
1:35:09
Speaker 1: can't undo that. I don't believe it's out there. It's real.
1:35:12
Speaker 1: The genies out of the bottle. Pandora's box is open.
1:35:14
Speaker 1: We either control AI here in this country or we
1:35:18
Speaker 1: let the Chinese Communist Party do it. But eliminating in
1:35:21
Speaker 1: any given backyard a data center is not going to
1:35:23
Speaker 1: change that reality. But can we not get in front
1:35:26
Speaker 1: of the other things that people are raising, water, consumption,
1:35:28
Speaker 1: noise and power.
1:35:31
Speaker 3: I think the addressing the issues is the right way
1:35:34
Speaker 3: to look at this. Brian and I want to separate
1:35:37
Speaker 3: the future conversation that the country in the world is
1:35:40
Speaker 3: going to have to have about AI from the conversation
1:35:44
Speaker 3: that the AI data centers are having on Ohio, and
1:35:48
Speaker 3: I think there we can really take some common sense measures.
1:35:52
Speaker 3: I've laid out a clear set of commitments. I made
1:35:55
Speaker 3: a pledge to Ohioans three core commitments, and this is
1:35:58
Speaker 3: the starting point for the data center policy and legislation
1:36:01
Speaker 3: that I'm rolling out, which says that if a data
1:36:04
Speaker 3: center is built in your community, it has to directly
1:36:07
Speaker 3: benefit the ohiolands in that community, or else it shouldn't
1:36:10
Speaker 3: be built. That's common sense. And what has laid out
1:36:13
Speaker 3: as a clear plan to say, if you live in
1:36:15
Speaker 3: a community with the data center, Okay, in most Ohawo
1:36:18
Speaker 3: counties that will include the entire county, if you live
1:36:21
Speaker 3: near that data center, you're going to have free electricity,
1:36:24
Speaker 3: you're going to have lower property taxes, and you're going
1:36:27
Speaker 3: to have the same air and water quality standards applied
1:36:30
Speaker 3: to that data center as to any other development, without exceptions.
1:36:35
Speaker 3: All three of those things are achievable. And if we
1:36:38
Speaker 3: combine that with prioritizing the redevelopment of abandoned industrial sites
1:36:44
Speaker 3: instead of interrupting farmland, that is a common sense data
1:36:48
Speaker 3: center policy framework that says I is that the case Okay,
1:36:52
Speaker 3: it has a chance to be built, and if it's
1:36:53
Speaker 3: not the case, then it's not going to be built.
1:36:56
Speaker 3: It's not going to pass a law early on. Put
1:36:58
Speaker 3: this issue as a problem behind us. That's that this
1:37:02
Speaker 3: time next year people aren't concerned about data centers because
1:37:05
Speaker 3: either they're not getting built on those terms, or they're
1:37:08
Speaker 3: getting built on terms that actually lift up local communities.
1:37:12
Speaker 1: What's that the little level libertarian? I mean, it has
1:37:15
Speaker 1: to address the idea of having some other business pay
1:37:18
Speaker 1: for my electricity. I'm never interested in picking another man's
1:37:20
Speaker 1: pocket to pay my bills. But how would that How
1:37:23
Speaker 1: would that work? Unless we can get small modular reactors
1:37:26
Speaker 1: which may have an abundance of extra leftover electricity, in
1:37:29
Speaker 1: which case I'll take it. But we can't get to
1:37:31
Speaker 1: SMRs without dealing with federal level regulation reform.
1:37:35
Speaker 3: See, you're you're hitting on the right point. Whether it's
1:37:37
Speaker 3: an SMR, whether it is a large modular reactor, okay,
1:37:41
Speaker 3: whether it's whether it's large scale energy production. This is
1:37:44
Speaker 3: the point, Brian, is you know we don't we reject socialism.
1:37:47
Speaker 3: That's not the right answer. Spend printing government money or
1:37:50
Speaker 3: penalizing one person to redistribute to another. No, that's not
1:37:53
Speaker 3: what we're doing. When a data center is going to
1:37:55
Speaker 3: want to build power generation, what we're seeing is they're
1:37:58
Speaker 3: going to need overage. Okay, So if you're going to
1:37:59
Speaker 3: do seven hundred megawatts of offcake as a data center
1:38:03
Speaker 3: or any other developer, you're going to want to build
1:38:05
Speaker 3: a gigawatt of production, an extra three hundred megawatts or
1:38:09
Speaker 3: so for behind the meter power generation. Just to do
1:38:12
Speaker 3: the math on this, an extra three hundred megawats, Brian
1:38:15
Speaker 3: would power three hundred thousand homes in this state. An
1:38:19
Speaker 3: extra one hundred megawatts, which is even just a third
1:38:22
Speaker 3: of that excess, would power one hundred thousand homes, which
1:38:25
Speaker 3: in most of Ohio's counties, could effectively be the entire county.
1:38:30
Speaker 3: All right, So thinking about that, this is how when
1:38:33
Speaker 3: you understand and analyze the issue in the actual fact,
1:38:36
Speaker 3: you realize what's actually possible. I do think a lot
1:38:40
Speaker 3: of counties, I do think a lot of localities, through
1:38:43
Speaker 3: no fault of their own, have been outmatched in some
1:38:45
Speaker 3: of these negotiations. And I think what makes sense is
1:38:49
Speaker 3: to have a governor that says, here are statewide standards
1:38:52
Speaker 3: were setting to help those localities. I don't think the
1:38:55
Speaker 3: people who are doing these who are taking on these
1:38:58
Speaker 3: projects at the local government level or in any way
1:39:02
Speaker 3: that people are good hearted citizens trying to serve their
1:39:05
Speaker 3: local communities. But I think they need a governor at
1:39:08
Speaker 3: the top who really brings a level of standards statewide
1:39:13
Speaker 3: to this that makes their jobs locally easier. That's what
1:39:16
Speaker 3: I'm going to do. We're going to sign up into
1:39:18
Speaker 3: the legislation early on in my first term, in my
1:39:22
Speaker 3: first year, and what we're going to do is be
1:39:24
Speaker 3: very quick about it. And once that's done, I think
1:39:27
Speaker 3: we'll have a framework that leads the country that really
1:39:30
Speaker 3: shows how it's done, which is to say, if a
1:39:31
Speaker 3: data center is built in your community, it will never
1:39:34
Speaker 3: be a curse for the people in that community, as
1:39:36
Speaker 3: it feels like to many today. It will only be
1:39:38
Speaker 3: a blessing. And if it's not a blessing, then it
1:39:40
Speaker 3: won't be built.
1:39:41
Speaker 1: Sounds like a plant should apply and it's vv vi
1:39:44
Speaker 1: iv E K four Ohio dot com. You can read
1:39:47
Speaker 1: the entire plan right there on his website, along with
1:39:49
Speaker 1: his other policy platforms. Mister Ramaswami, I got to ask
1:39:52
Speaker 1: you about property tax since you just mentioned the words
1:39:54
Speaker 1: property tax. I interviewed. Representative Mark Heiner was last week
1:39:58
Speaker 1: about Joint Resolution seven, would be a ballot initiative that
1:40:01
Speaker 1: we could vote on about eliminating the property tax for
1:40:04
Speaker 1: primary residences throughout the state of Ohio, resulting in about
1:40:06
Speaker 1: a ten billion dollars net loss of taxes to the government,
1:40:10
Speaker 1: but ten versus the twenty billion that if we eliminated
1:40:13
Speaker 1: it completely. So it's an alternative to the property tax
1:40:16
Speaker 1: elimination amendment. The petition is circulating around, probably on the
1:40:19
Speaker 1: ballot next year. What's your reaction to that Joint Resolution seven,
1:40:24
Speaker 1: or do you have an alternative method to lower our
1:40:26
Speaker 1: property taxes in Ohio?
1:40:29
Speaker 3: There are a number of alternative proposals, but they're all
1:40:33
Speaker 3: coming from a place of seeing the obvious property taxes
1:40:38
Speaker 3: are insanely high in the state. They're unacceptably high in
1:40:42
Speaker 3: the state. And my observation in all of this is
1:40:45
Speaker 3: that is particularly a post pandemic phenomenon. Okay, nobody really,
1:40:51
Speaker 3: not that many people before the pandemic in twenty nineteen
1:40:54
Speaker 3: think about this. We're talking about property taxes, but afterwards,
1:40:58
Speaker 3: the reason property taxes went up the federal government under
1:41:01
Speaker 3: Biden printed a whole bunch of money inflated assets, you know,
1:41:05
Speaker 3: really just ran the federal money, federal reserve right, the
1:41:07
Speaker 3: money printer on wild and then that caused all asset
1:41:10
Speaker 3: prices to go up, stocks, big coin, you name it.
1:41:14
Speaker 3: But it also caused home prices to go up. And
1:41:16
Speaker 3: in our state, a lot of people don't own those
1:41:18
Speaker 3: other assets, but their main asset they own is their home.
1:41:21
Speaker 3: When the government shows up and says, congratulations, you're rich,
1:41:23
Speaker 3: your home's worth more, that wasn't a financial blessing. It
1:41:27
Speaker 3: felt like a financial curse because you owed two or
1:41:30
Speaker 3: three times more in property taxes. That's what happened. And
1:41:33
Speaker 3: wages did not go up, Social Security payments did not
1:41:35
Speaker 3: go up at the same rate. So people felt a
1:41:37
Speaker 3: pinch and it's unreasonable and it's unacceptable. So my plan,
1:41:42
Speaker 3: having made that observation, since we're going to fix that
1:41:44
Speaker 3: problem as the first step, how are we going to
1:41:46
Speaker 3: fix it. We're going to roll back the property taxes
1:41:50
Speaker 3: to where they were before the end of the pandemic. Okay,
1:41:53
Speaker 3: that makes sense, and then cap the growth from there.
1:41:56
Speaker 3: So go back and look at those pre pandemic property
1:42:00
Speaker 3: tax bills and compare them to what you're paying now.
1:42:03
Speaker 3: You're not going to pay what you're paying now. You're
1:42:04
Speaker 3: going to pay what you were paying then, which will
1:42:06
Speaker 3: represent the biggest property tax cut that Ohio has ever
1:42:11
Speaker 3: seen in our history. It will also represent the biggest
1:42:16
Speaker 3: property tax cut in the country, likely in any state
1:42:19
Speaker 3: in the Union. And I'm going to deliver that by legislation.
1:42:23
Speaker 3: So that's something where I know I can get that
1:42:25
Speaker 3: done in the first budget cycle next year, such that
1:42:29
Speaker 3: by this time next year, that problem too is solved,
1:42:33
Speaker 3: at least the first step of it, and then if
1:42:35
Speaker 3: we need to explore other steps beyond that, I'm very
1:42:37
Speaker 3: open to it. But that much I know I can
1:42:39
Speaker 3: get done in the first half of next year. And
1:42:42
Speaker 3: unlike my opponent, you know, be it on data centers,
1:42:44
Speaker 3: be it on property taxes, I'm offering practical solutions, ambitious solutions,
1:42:50
Speaker 3: but practical, achievable solutions. And I do think at this
1:42:54
Speaker 3: point in our state's history, Brian, we do need a
1:42:57
Speaker 3: businessman at the top.
1:42:58
Speaker 9: Yes, okay, I think our state needs someone to come
1:43:01
Speaker 9: in and roll up its sleeves and actually manage the
1:43:06
Speaker 9: balance sheet, the income statement, the line item to protect
1:43:09
Speaker 9: taxpayer dollars and.
1:43:11
Speaker 3: Put that money back in your pockets. Right people struggle
1:43:14
Speaker 3: with affordability concerns. Right now, people are struggling to make
1:43:17
Speaker 3: ends meet.
1:43:18
Speaker 2: It is a.
1:43:19
Speaker 3: Moral issue when the government is wasting that money instead
1:43:22
Speaker 3: of putting it back in your pocket in the form
1:43:24
Speaker 3: of property tax relief, in the form of income tax relief,
1:43:28
Speaker 3: in the form of prosecuting medicaid fraud by the billions,
1:43:32
Speaker 3: putting that money back in your pocket, Handling the energy
1:43:35
Speaker 3: issues in the way that we discussed, including producing more energy,
1:43:38
Speaker 3: lowering your electric bills. That is a moral mandate right now.
1:43:42
Speaker 3: And I think I'm certainly the only person in this race,
1:43:45
Speaker 3: and I believe perhaps the best positioned person in this
1:43:48
Speaker 3: state to get that done. And that is why I'm running.
1:43:52
Speaker 1: I heard the fraud word in there, and before we
1:43:53
Speaker 1: part company, I don't think it's a big ask your
1:43:56
Speaker 1: commitment to the voters in the state of Ohio and
1:43:58
Speaker 1: all taxpayers, a commitment to eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse
1:44:02
Speaker 1: in the state of Ohio.
1:44:03
Speaker 2: Yes, it is a moral mandate.
1:44:05
Speaker 3: It is a moral requirement. I've been crystal clear on
1:44:09
Speaker 3: that in a way that my opponent has not, and
1:44:11
Speaker 3: I think that that money belongs to you, to hard working,
1:44:14
Speaker 3: law abiding Ohioans. And this isn't a small issue. We're
1:44:18
Speaker 3: talking by the bills millions to return back to hard
1:44:21
Speaker 3: working Ohioans in the form of health savings accounts, copay assistants,
1:44:26
Speaker 3: lower premiums. That's for whom a lot of these programs
1:44:29
Speaker 3: were intended, rather than for the fraudsters who are exploiting
1:44:33
Speaker 3: the system. And I do think we need to get
1:44:35
Speaker 3: more disciplined and more aggressive in prosecuting the bad actors.
1:44:39
Speaker 1: That is a non partisan issue and a non partisan commitment.
1:44:43
Speaker 1: And I'm shocked that Amy Acted wouldn't come out and
1:44:44
Speaker 1: say the same dang thing via Ramaswami Guto's website. Help
1:44:48
Speaker 1: them out, participate, get a yard sign, v vague, viv
1:44:51
Speaker 1: ek for Ohio dot Com. Go ahead, And let's say just.
1:44:54
Speaker 3: One more thing is I think that I'm not asking
1:44:57
Speaker 3: for anybody who doesn't agree with me on these core
1:44:59
Speaker 3: issues or share our values to vote for me. What
1:45:02
Speaker 3: I'm saying is, if you share those values, we require
1:45:05
Speaker 3: you to come out and vote. Mean to our kids
1:45:07
Speaker 3: and our grandkids future depends on it. And that's what
1:45:10
Speaker 3: this November is about. And I think people are starting
1:45:12
Speaker 3: to wake up to the stakes.
1:45:13
Speaker 1: Brian.
1:45:13
Speaker 3: It is the most important election for governor we've ever had,
1:45:17
Speaker 3: one that is going to affect your quality of life
1:45:20
Speaker 3: and the way your kids thrive in this state. I'm
1:45:23
Speaker 3: asking you to show up and vote accordingly.
1:45:25
Speaker 1: And I share your viewpoint on that as well. Vivig
1:45:28
Speaker 1: Ramaswami again the website v vake four Ohio dot com.
1:45:31
Speaker 1: Help out in all ways and absolutely get out and
1:45:33
Speaker 1: vote August thirty first, Jim and Jacks get your tickets.
1:45:36
Speaker 1: The information on how to do that is on my
1:45:37
Speaker 1: blog page as well. Fifty five KRC dot com. Vivike Ramaswami.
1:45:40
Speaker 1: It's been a pleasure as it always is to have
1:45:42
Speaker 1: you on the morning show. And best of luck for
1:45:44
Speaker 1: success in November, sir, Thank you any time, Space TGI
1:45:53
Speaker 1: Friday Eve, Brian Thomas, always looking forward to this time
1:45:55
Speaker 1: of the week. Get to talk to iHeart Media, Viace
1:45:57
Speaker 1: Nextpert Jay ratlif Jay, my friend, welcome back to the
1:46:00
Speaker 1: About Caressey Morning Show. Good to hear from you.
1:46:01
Speaker 10: As always, It's always a pleasure to talk to you,
1:46:04
Speaker 10: my friend.
1:46:05
Speaker 1: And I got to ask you real quick here I
1:46:06
Speaker 1: saw good news for the airline industry. I'm shocked that
1:46:09
Speaker 1: things are looking so good, apparently on track to surpass
1:46:13
Speaker 1: last year's record number of travelers, in spite of the
1:46:16
Speaker 1: fact that airline fares are up almost thirteen percent since January.
1:46:19
Speaker 1: Is that comes a shock to you, Jay at all, Not.
1:46:22
Speaker 10: Really, because you know, ever since we came out of
1:46:24
Speaker 10: the pandemic, there's been this, I guess, kind of the
1:46:29
Speaker 10: need for a lot of people to go for some
1:46:31
Speaker 10: of the premium seats to be a little bit more comfortable,
1:46:34
Speaker 10: and airlines have really understood that, Hey, there's a lot
1:46:37
Speaker 10: more people that are willing to pay for these, you know,
1:46:40
Speaker 10: comfort plus seats or even discounted seats in first class,
1:46:44
Speaker 10: and they've been trying as quickly as they can to
1:46:47
Speaker 10: make those available. So if that's kind of the prevailing
1:46:50
Speaker 10: thought on those, you've got a lot of other people say, look,
1:46:53
Speaker 10: if I got to middle lecture to travel, I need it.
1:46:56
Speaker 10: I'm going to take it. And airlines are taking advantage
1:46:58
Speaker 10: of it.
1:46:59
Speaker 1: Pent up demand. That makes sense to me, you know, Okay,
1:47:02
Speaker 1: I'll suck up the extra I got to get out
1:47:03
Speaker 1: of town. Makes sense, all right. Well, speaking of premium
1:47:07
Speaker 1: seats as one of the topics on your list today,
1:47:10
Speaker 1: the rush for these increased premium seats. So is it
1:47:13
Speaker 1: the moneyed customers that are driving the revenue this year.
1:47:16
Speaker 1: I guess it is because.
1:47:18
Speaker 10: You and I have talked a little bit about how
1:47:20
Speaker 10: airlines have shifted some of their first class upgrades. Where
1:47:24
Speaker 10: you used to be able rather easily with your frequent
1:47:27
Speaker 10: flyer status or miles upgrade from coach to first class.
1:47:31
Speaker 10: Airlines recognized, you know, we're losing a little bit of
1:47:33
Speaker 10: money on that, but it's a trade off. From the
1:47:35
Speaker 10: loyally standpoint. They can care less about that now, So
1:47:39
Speaker 10: now they're making a lot harder for us to get
1:47:41
Speaker 10: up there from coach, and what they're trying to do
1:47:43
Speaker 10: as much as possible is to get people to buy
1:47:45
Speaker 10: those They're also seeing this flourish as far as the
1:47:49
Speaker 10: increase in demand of those premium suits we just talked about,
1:47:51
Speaker 10: and you have airlines like America, Delta, United and others
1:47:54
Speaker 10: that are trying as quickly as they can to convert
1:47:58
Speaker 10: existing coach seats into these premium ones that are slightly bigger,
1:48:01
Speaker 10: more leg room, those kind of things that people are
1:48:04
Speaker 10: getting more and more interested in. The bad thing for
1:48:07
Speaker 10: those of us sitting in coach is that means fewer
1:48:10
Speaker 10: seats in coach, which means higher fares in coach, which
1:48:13
Speaker 10: means those fares are going to go up. As a
1:48:16
Speaker 10: result of airlines pivoting towards the premium type of situation,
1:48:20
Speaker 10: you have Southwest Airlines this year that came out with
1:48:22
Speaker 10: premium seats. They are thrilled that they've done that. You've
1:48:25
Speaker 10: got low cost carriers that are coming out with first
1:48:27
Speaker 10: class seats because people are wanting those. They're very happy
1:48:31
Speaker 10: for that. So you have people that are starting to understand, look,
1:48:35
Speaker 10: I'm willing to pay a little extra money to be
1:48:37
Speaker 10: in a slightly better seat, you know, things that we
1:48:39
Speaker 10: used to get for free. But you know, the vast
1:48:41
Speaker 10: majority of travelers today, the average age, they don't remember having,
1:48:46
Speaker 10: you know, forty eight inches between rows where you could
1:48:49
Speaker 10: kind of relax and take it easy and things of
1:48:51
Speaker 10: this nature. They're used to being packed in like sardines now.
1:48:54
Speaker 10: And it's like, if it's extra eighteen twenty bucks this
1:48:57
Speaker 10: way or that for me to have a slightly better trip,
1:49:00
Speaker 10: you know, I'm willing to pay for it.
1:49:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes perfect sense, and yeah, it's a small
1:49:05
Speaker 1: price to pay for a lot of extra comfort from
1:49:08
Speaker 1: my perspective, so I get that.
1:49:10
Speaker 10: Lands are making more money as a result. Brian Soscian American.
1:49:12
Speaker 10: They need all the help they can get right now,
1:49:15
Speaker 10: and those premium type seats and other things are something
1:49:18
Speaker 10: they hope that can help, you know, write the ship
1:49:20
Speaker 10: they're seeing Delta United quarterly profits of close to a
1:49:23
Speaker 10: billion dollars. You know, they're mumbling through with like a
1:49:27
Speaker 10: two hundred million dollar profit, a fraction of what other
1:49:29
Speaker 10: people are generating.
1:49:31
Speaker 1: It's amazing the massive profits that are there. Real quick
1:49:33
Speaker 1: here in the remaining moments of this segment, and you
1:49:35
Speaker 1: do a short one on this one man try to
1:49:37
Speaker 1: enter a Japan with something strange in his suitcase. Jay lizards.
1:49:41
Speaker 1: Lizards lizards.
1:49:42
Speaker 10: He had I think two hundred and twelve of them.
1:49:44
Speaker 10: He was flying from Mexico into Asia. He lands, and
1:49:48
Speaker 10: you can buy them in Mexico for like five bucks apiece,
1:49:50
Speaker 10: sell them in Japan for six hundred a piece.
1:49:52
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I mean yeah.
1:49:54
Speaker 10: The obvious incentive there. So yeah, he flies, and of
1:49:57
Speaker 10: course the customs agency there did. What customs does they
1:50:03
Speaker 10: protect entry of either you know, plants, animals, those kinds
1:50:06
Speaker 10: of things and they quickly found this. He had them
1:50:09
Speaker 10: stuffed into a bunch of socks and thought nobody would
1:50:11
Speaker 10: notice him in his luggage. Well they did notice. He
1:50:15
Speaker 10: was arrested and we facing quite the fine. But yeah,
1:50:18
Speaker 10: I mean it's a dangerous thing when you get fruit
1:50:21
Speaker 10: or different types of things introduced into a country that
1:50:24
Speaker 10: might have bugs or different types of things that could
1:50:26
Speaker 10: threaten the crop of some kind. So the customs team
1:50:30
Speaker 10: is the men and women. That's the last line of
1:50:32
Speaker 10: defense for a lot of countries. So they do a
1:50:35
Speaker 10: very very good job. And why somebody thinks they could
1:50:38
Speaker 10: sneak I don't know. Two hundred and twelve or whatever
1:50:40
Speaker 10: it was lizards past those people. I don't know what
1:50:45
Speaker 10: they were thinking.
1:50:45
Speaker 1: Man, what an amazing return on investment. I can certainly
1:50:48
Speaker 1: understand why he would even try, even though it is illegal,
1:50:51
Speaker 1: Jay Ratliffe, he got.
1:50:52
Speaker 10: Paid for it. I'm sure. I'm sure the motion responsible
1:50:55
Speaker 10: was sitting back paying this little mule to get it
1:50:57
Speaker 10: across their.
1:50:58
Speaker 2: And didn't happen.
1:50:59
Speaker 1: It didn't happen. Well, to the extent I had any
1:51:01
Speaker 1: faith in the in flying, you probably have eroded the
1:51:04
Speaker 1: balance of it. Several stories we have airline flights avoiding disaster.
1:51:08
Speaker 1: We have a blown tire on landing and we have
1:51:10
Speaker 1: bullets on airplanes. Don't go away more with Iheartmediaviation Expert
1:51:13
Speaker 1: Jay Ratlift fifty five KRC. Have you ever been in
1:51:17
Speaker 1: a cockpit before? Eight thirty nine on a Thursday, of
1:51:19
Speaker 1: course means we're talking to iHeart Media Aviation Expert Jay
1:51:22
Speaker 1: Ratlift get the benefit of his company for a few
1:51:25
Speaker 1: segments here on a Thursday every week, and I love it. Okay,
1:51:27
Speaker 1: over to the things that are further ruining my faith
1:51:30
Speaker 1: in air travel, Jay Ratlife. We start with two American
1:51:32
Speaker 1: airline flights avoiding disaster. What happened here, Jay, A bit
1:51:39
Speaker 1: to unpacked, But it.
1:51:39
Speaker 10: Was American Airlines twenty four eighty two. It's a scheduled
1:51:43
Speaker 10: departure for American I fly Chicago, Phoenix, turns around, it
1:51:46
Speaker 10: comes back to Chicago. It's just there and background trip.
1:51:49
Speaker 10: They use the same flight number both directions. Not a problem,
1:51:52
Speaker 10: happens all the time. The issue was that first flight
1:51:56
Speaker 10: from Chicago, the originating flight to twenty four eighty two,
1:52:00
Speaker 10: was delayed big time. Now at some point American Airlines IOC,
1:52:04
Speaker 10: that's their integrated operations center. They said, hey, look, we've
1:52:07
Speaker 10: got an available aircraft in Phoenix, we've got the crew there.
1:52:10
Speaker 10: Let's go ahead and run that one back on time
1:52:13
Speaker 10: so that we don't further delay passengers and we get
1:52:16
Speaker 10: that particular aircraft chart back on schedule. They said, a
1:52:20
Speaker 10: great idea, because again, if they can operate it close
1:52:23
Speaker 10: to that schedule departure, that's a good thing. But Brian,
1:52:26
Speaker 10: for some inexplicable asenine reason, they decided to use the
1:52:30
Speaker 10: same flight number. So you now have delayed American Airlines
1:52:34
Speaker 10: twenty four eighty two from Chicago coming into Phoenix. At
1:52:37
Speaker 10: the same time you've got the substitute of American Airlines
1:52:40
Speaker 10: twenty four eighty two taking off from Phoenix. You now
1:52:44
Speaker 10: have two American Airline flights operating under the same flight number,
1:52:48
Speaker 10: operating near the same airport, on the same radio frequency,
1:52:51
Speaker 10: and at the exact same moment. Now, I don't have
1:52:55
Speaker 10: the mass skills to calculate the odds on this, but
1:52:58
Speaker 10: I'll guarantee you expernomical Thank god, we had an air
1:53:02
Speaker 10: traffic controller that was experienced on site who said, time
1:53:06
Speaker 10: out here, we've got a problem because we've got two
1:53:08
Speaker 10: planes following the same set of instructions, and obviously they
1:53:12
Speaker 10: could end up occupying the same airspace at the same time. Yeah,
1:53:17
Speaker 10: that's kind of that's kind of it, although it could
1:53:20
Speaker 10: have been avoided. But the issue was this air traffic
1:53:23
Speaker 10: controller and I heard the audio. This is going to
1:53:25
Speaker 10: be a training tape. I guarantee it for future air
1:53:27
Speaker 10: traffic control classes. He broke it down, calling out each
1:53:30
Speaker 10: aircraft by altitude and flight number, and kept the two
1:53:35
Speaker 10: of them at a safe distance. And once it was
1:53:37
Speaker 10: all over and everybody was okay, both sets of pilots
1:53:40
Speaker 10: and the air traffic controller said, I've been doing this
1:53:43
Speaker 10: for like thirty thirty five. I've never seen this before
1:53:46
Speaker 10: and hopefully we never will again. But let's say the
1:53:49
Speaker 10: air traffic controller hadn't caught it. The two aircraft do
1:53:52
Speaker 10: kind of approach each other. They have the onboard traffic
1:53:55
Speaker 10: collision avoidance system, the t CAST system you and I've
1:53:58
Speaker 10: talked about. That would have or did both crews one
1:54:01
Speaker 10: to climb, one to descend, and cruiser taught the minute
1:54:05
Speaker 10: that goes off. You followed those instructions immediately, and that
1:54:09
Speaker 10: could have kept the two airplanes at a safe distance.
1:54:11
Speaker 10: Which but again you're wrecking. You're, you know, kind of
1:54:15
Speaker 10: putting our confidence in technology which can fail from time
1:54:19
Speaker 10: to time. And fortunately we never got to that last
1:54:21
Speaker 10: line of defense, and the air traffic controller did just
1:54:24
Speaker 10: an incredible job. So I'm hopeful that American and other
1:54:28
Speaker 10: airlines around the world are learning that maybe using the
1:54:32
Speaker 10: same flight number on two flights is not what we
1:54:36
Speaker 10: would consider a good idea. It's happened before, but never
1:54:40
Speaker 10: like this where we've had them both at the same
1:54:41
Speaker 10: spot at the same time.
1:54:43
Speaker 1: It's amazing that could even happen. All right, something apparently
1:54:46
Speaker 1: is happening more and more of late, we have yet
1:54:48
Speaker 1: one more aircraft blowing a tire on landing.
1:54:53
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:54:53
Speaker 10: I get emails on this quite a bit, saying, Jay,
1:54:55
Speaker 10: what are we having issues with the tire manufacturers in it?
1:54:59
Speaker 10: And I No, It's the time of year when you
1:55:02
Speaker 10: look at the summer, hot summer travel season, we have
1:55:06
Speaker 10: a large number of tires that erupt either on takeoff
1:55:09
Speaker 10: or landing, and a lot of that just has to
1:55:11
Speaker 10: do with the heat on the tarmac and the friction
1:55:14
Speaker 10: that builds up with these aircraft tires with the intense
1:55:17
Speaker 10: pressure they're under. Typically you'll see this happen in the summer.
1:55:21
Speaker 10: Sometimes it'll happen at other times. If you land an
1:55:25
Speaker 10: aircraft and you're like, ooh, I want to make that
1:55:26
Speaker 10: first turn, so you kind of lean on the brakes
1:55:28
Speaker 10: a little bit more than you should. That can cause
1:55:31
Speaker 10: a tire to blow as well. But it's not dangerous,
1:55:34
Speaker 10: but it's inconvenient, and it normally means the airplane's not
1:55:37
Speaker 10: going anywhere for like ninety minutes. They've got to either
1:55:40
Speaker 10: bust everybody off the aircraft, w ring out some steps,
1:55:43
Speaker 10: or everybody sits there until it's fixed and then they
1:55:45
Speaker 10: taxi to the gate. But we've seen these tires blow
1:55:48
Speaker 10: and both take off and landing. But it's nothing to
1:55:51
Speaker 10: be overly concerned with because once the temperatures start to cool,
1:55:54
Speaker 10: and I guess eventually that will happen, we'll see fewer
1:55:58
Speaker 10: and few of these occurrences. So you can take that
1:56:01
Speaker 10: off of your list of things that need to worry
1:56:03
Speaker 10: about in aviation.
1:56:04
Speaker 1: Well, the tires on airplanes are redundant. They have multiple sets, right,
1:56:09
Speaker 1: they do.
1:56:10
Speaker 10: Normally when the gear drops, you've got at least two
1:56:13
Speaker 10: of those and if one blows, you're still gonna be okay.
1:56:16
Speaker 10: And even if one blows on takeoff, and we've seen
1:56:19
Speaker 10: that happen, the crews are made aware of it and
1:56:22
Speaker 10: they adjust their landing accordingly. If it's if it's one
1:56:25
Speaker 10: of the forward landing gear that drops and one of
1:56:28
Speaker 10: those tires blow. When they land, they'll land on the mains,
1:56:32
Speaker 10: which is the back to, and they'll just kind of
1:56:34
Speaker 10: keep the nose in the air for as long as
1:56:35
Speaker 10: they can and at the last moment just slowly drop
1:56:38
Speaker 10: it down and go that route. Or if it's one
1:56:40
Speaker 10: of the two mains, they'll kind of favor maybe the
1:56:44
Speaker 10: left or the right side, and then slowly rotate it down.
1:56:47
Speaker 10: I mean, these men and women have landed on aircraft
1:56:50
Speaker 10: carriers in bad weather. That's not what we would consider
1:56:53
Speaker 10: an incredible challenge to their flying skills.
1:56:56
Speaker 5: They know what to do.
1:56:57
Speaker 1: That's peace of mind there right. Well, don't go away.
1:57:00
Speaker 1: We're going to find out the TSA dropped the ball
1:57:01
Speaker 1: a bullet on an airplane. How'd that get in there? Plus, oh,
1:57:04
Speaker 1: there's damage on takeoff too, not just landing. More with
1:57:07
Speaker 1: Jay Rattlift Hey forty eight If I care see the
1:57:11
Speaker 1: talk station, it's Friday e one. More segment with Jay Ratliff,
1:57:13
Speaker 1: I Heart Media aviation expert, going over across the pond
1:57:17
Speaker 1: to Munich. We have a plane damaged on takeoff. What
1:57:21
Speaker 1: happened here, Jay Ratliffe, Yeah.
1:57:23
Speaker 10: The official word was a troubled takeoff, and I think
1:57:26
Speaker 10: that was an understatement when you see what happened. This
1:57:30
Speaker 10: was a Vietnam Airlines flight Munich to Heinoi. It was
1:57:34
Speaker 10: a seven eighty seven dream Liner wide body aircraft. Plane
1:57:37
Speaker 10: rolls to take off and Brian, it takes the entire
1:57:40
Speaker 10: runway for the crew to get the plane airborne.
1:57:43
Speaker 2: In fact, some of.
1:57:44
Speaker 10: The initial details suggests that the plane not only needed
1:57:47
Speaker 10: the entire runway, but some of the area on the
1:57:50
Speaker 10: other side of the runway, like the grass and the
1:57:52
Speaker 10: other things before it was airborne. In fact, it looks
1:57:56
Speaker 10: like they impacted some of the equipment that's located at
1:57:59
Speaker 10: the end of the run on takeoff. So now you've
1:58:02
Speaker 10: got this damaged aircraft. It's taking off out of Munich
1:58:05
Speaker 10: and the decision was made, maybe it's not a good
1:58:07
Speaker 10: idea to fly all the way to Munich or sorry
1:58:09
Speaker 10: to Hanois, so they decided to come back and land.
1:58:12
Speaker 10: But the problem is when you take off you're fully fueled,
1:58:15
Speaker 10: with the idea that you're going to burn off that
1:58:17
Speaker 10: fuel on the way to your destination and then you'll
1:58:20
Speaker 10: be within the allowable maximum landing weight or under that
1:58:24
Speaker 10: to land the aircraft. In essence, this plane was too
1:58:26
Speaker 10: heavy to land safely, so they circled the airport for
1:58:29
Speaker 10: like ninety minutes or two hours to burn off that
1:58:32
Speaker 10: required fuel. In fact, on one pass, they actually did
1:58:35
Speaker 10: a low altitude fly by the air traffic control center
1:58:38
Speaker 10: and I suspect that so the controllers could do a
1:58:41
Speaker 10: visible inspection of the bottom of the aircraft landing gear
1:58:43
Speaker 10: see if there's any damage that they could report to
1:58:46
Speaker 10: the flight crew. Now, the plane did land safely, everybody
1:58:49
Speaker 10: was okay, but it was too damaged to taxi off
1:58:51
Speaker 10: the runway. That should tell you something. It forced the
1:58:54
Speaker 10: airport in Munich to close that runway to all the
1:58:57
Speaker 10: other traffic to the other runways. And right now, the
1:59:00
Speaker 10: investigation continues. So it was either pilot air or they
1:59:05
Speaker 10: loaded the aircraft with more weight than what the crew
1:59:08
Speaker 10: was told, or they may have a mechanical situation where
1:59:11
Speaker 10: some of the data that the crew is being fed
1:59:14
Speaker 10: and the cockpit was in air, so the investigation will
1:59:18
Speaker 10: bear it out, see exactly what happened. But wow that
1:59:22
Speaker 10: anytime you run out of runway and you've got to
1:59:24
Speaker 10: count on the area after that to get an airplane
1:59:26
Speaker 10: off the ground, you're on borrowed time. And thankfully they
1:59:29
Speaker 10: got that bad boy in the.
1:59:30
Speaker 1: Air, no doubt about it. All right, go to the
1:59:33
Speaker 1: United Airlines flight they had to evacuate it. How is
1:59:35
Speaker 1: it that a bullet got into the cabin? I thought
1:59:38
Speaker 1: we had TSA to stop that from happening.
1:59:41
Speaker 10: Now nobody knows what happens is you had a United
1:59:44
Speaker 10: flight in Denver, somebody discovers the bullet, which obviously should
1:59:48
Speaker 10: not have gotten through airport security, and the thought is
1:59:51
Speaker 10: could anything else have gotten through? So there's a protocol
1:59:55
Speaker 10: we have to follow, and we have to follow it
1:59:57
Speaker 10: when this happens. There's been an obvious breach of some kind.
2:00:00
Speaker 10: So you take every passenger off that aircraft, all their
2:00:04
Speaker 10: luggage that's in the cabin area out. You do the
2:00:07
Speaker 10: hard target search inside the aircraft, looking at all the
2:00:09
Speaker 10: seatback pockets, the bins, looking at the trash cans and
2:00:14
Speaker 10: all the laboratories. You're looking for anything that might have
2:00:17
Speaker 10: been snuck through and left behind as passengers got off.
2:00:20
Speaker 10: Once that inspection is complete, which takes some time, as
2:00:24
Speaker 10: well as rescreening the passengers and perhaps questioning them if
2:00:27
Speaker 10: they need to, you're talking about a significant delay, which
2:00:30
Speaker 10: is what this aircraft had. Bullets are relatively easy to
2:00:35
Speaker 10: smuggle on to an aircraft. I mean, this is well known,
2:00:38
Speaker 10: so I'm not saying.
2:00:39
Speaker 1: Any I was kind of wondering about that. Yeah, I
2:00:41
Speaker 1: really true.
2:00:42
Speaker 10: Well, if you put a bullet in your hand and
2:00:45
Speaker 10: walk through the checkpoint, typically it won't go off right,
2:00:50
Speaker 10: which is why if you ever go through the airport
2:00:52
Speaker 10: security with your flint your fists clenched, they'll be like,
2:00:55
Speaker 10: time out, open it up, go back.
2:00:57
Speaker 7: So oh really it's you know, yeah, they'll yeah, I've
2:01:01
Speaker 7: gone try it.
2:01:04
Speaker 10: I mean, I mean, well, they're trained to look for this. Again,
2:01:06
Speaker 10: this is this is common knowledge. So it's not something
2:01:09
Speaker 10: where I'm going to get angry emails from the t
2:01:11
Speaker 10: Well they might anyways, but they do a really good
2:01:14
Speaker 10: job of catching this. And uh so it's you know,
2:01:17
Speaker 10: but look, even if you get the bullet through, the
2:01:19
Speaker 10: idea of getting anything through that you could use the fire,
2:01:21
Speaker 10: it's probably not going to happen. But still it's a
2:01:24
Speaker 10: concern because anytime you've got an obvious lapse in something,
2:01:28
Speaker 10: that's the case, right. I've told you before I flew
2:01:31
Speaker 10: out of an airport with three boxes of three fifty
2:01:35
Speaker 10: seven ammunition holow points and my carry on bag and
2:01:38
Speaker 10: the agents at the time didn't catch it. We were
2:01:40
Speaker 10: coming back from Orange County when they were screening my
2:01:43
Speaker 10: hand carry bag and they said, sir, can we look
2:01:46
Speaker 10: in here. I said, oh, absolutely, go ahead, and they
2:01:48
Speaker 10: pulled out that first box of ammunition and I thought
2:01:51
Speaker 10: two things, uh uh oh, and yeah, I guess because
2:01:54
Speaker 10: that's where I carry a lot of times one of
2:01:56
Speaker 10: my firearms. Sure, and then here comes here comes box two,
2:01:59
Speaker 10: box three, and I knew had they pulled a fourth
2:02:01
Speaker 10: box out. That's when an incident report is filed and
2:02:04
Speaker 10: I'm in a little bit of trouble, and of course
2:02:06
Speaker 10: my lovely wife is back there with this smile, this
2:02:09
Speaker 10: beautiful smile that says, oh, aviation analysts.
2:02:12
Speaker 5: Yet totally forgot they were in there.
2:02:14
Speaker 10: But there are times that that does happen. And you know,
2:02:18
Speaker 10: I contacted that airport it was not CBG, and I
2:02:21
Speaker 10: got ahold of the TSA supervisor, and I said, go,
2:02:23
Speaker 10: I can pull the film from this day and see
2:02:26
Speaker 10: all the agents that were responsible for me being screened,
2:02:29
Speaker 10: so that we can use that as a training aid
2:02:32
Speaker 10: to make sure that you know nothing, it doesn't happen again.
2:02:35
Speaker 10: And of course in California they apologize to me, and
2:02:38
Speaker 10: I'm like, hey, you're doing your job, don't worry about that.
2:02:40
Speaker 10: They said, you know, is it okay if we discarded
2:02:41
Speaker 10: the MS said absolutely? And who I was just glad
2:02:44
Speaker 10: it was three boxes and not four, so you know,
2:02:46
Speaker 10: I mean, we all can forget, and certainly I'm responsible.
2:02:49
Speaker 2: I did it as well.
2:02:50
Speaker 1: All right, Well, everybody makes mistakes from time to time,
2:02:53
Speaker 1: even Jay Rattlift, that's okay.
2:02:54
Speaker 10: Oh yo, I've got plenty of witnesses to every one
2:02:56
Speaker 10: of them.
2:02:57
Speaker 1: So just ask you. Yeah, you and me both on that.
2:02:59
Speaker 1: Anyway we typically do, we end on hub delays. How's
2:03:02
Speaker 1: their travel looking out there today, Jay Raytler, So far
2:03:05
Speaker 1: pretty good.
2:03:05
Speaker 10: Now, we do have some weather issues that are going
2:03:08
Speaker 10: to be kind of north of us that we're going
2:03:10
Speaker 10: to be keeping an eye on in Chicago and Detroit
2:03:12
Speaker 10: that may be giving us some issues, but most of
2:03:14
Speaker 10: those are subsiding. But As today progresses, late in the day,
2:03:17
Speaker 10: we could see issues in Philadelphia, but a lot of
2:03:20
Speaker 10: rain through the middle part of the country. So if
2:03:22
Speaker 10: you're going to be flying, there's going to be turbulence.
2:03:24
Speaker 10: It's not dangerous, just uncomfortable. Keep your seat belt fastened
2:03:27
Speaker 10: about you. You'll be fine. But as far as major
2:03:29
Speaker 10: hub delays, I think today we're going to be catching
2:03:31
Speaker 10: a break.
2:03:32
Speaker 1: Glad to hear Jay Ryler. Thank you so much for
2:03:33
Speaker 1: the time you spake my listeners and me on this
2:03:35
Speaker 1: program in this segment, and I look forward to next
2:03:37
Speaker 1: week we'll do it again. As always, be end with health,
2:03:39
Speaker 1: best of health and love to you and your better
2:03:41
Speaker 1: half comedian.
2:03:42
Speaker 2: She is she is indeed to you as well, my friend.
2:03:46
Speaker 1: Thanks that it's eight fifty five and five cares of
2:03:48
Speaker 1: these dogs days.
