  Speaker 1: to show up for the support Ice rally, didn't even
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: realize there was a support ICE rally. Tom's going to
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: talk about that. Fast forward eight oh five Inside Scoop
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: with Bright Bart News Today, Economics editor John Carney the
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: economic impact of the war in Iran. Oh my god,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: we're all gonna die. I don't mean literally, I just
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: mean this whole reaction to the price of oil going up,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: which you have a couple of words on here in
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: a moment that Daniel Davis deep die retired Lieutenant Colonel
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Daniel Davis at eight thirty on Yes, Iran. All right,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump's coming tomorrow real quick. This pivots over to
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: my my state of awe and disbelief over the concerns
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: of November election because the price of gasoline's going up.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Some hold on, So Trump's showing up. I'll try to
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: relate all this Thermo Fisher's scientific and reading. That's one
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: visit'spector talked about Trump RX dot gov. Then he's going
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: to head over to our friends in northern Kentucky, the
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Verist Logistics contract packaging facility in Hebrew inspected to go
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: there to talk about the economy. I think one pm
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: for that, no, no start time for Thermo Fisher that
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I can find anyway. I think for Sex City reasons,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: they try to keep that on the DL anyway. But
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: in response to Donald Trump coming into the neighborhood. Let's
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: pivot over to the High Democratic Party, which had their
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: spokesperson Chair Kathleen Clyde, addressing Donald Trump coming into the neighborhood.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: From gas prices to energy bills, the cost of healthcare,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the White House and their allies in Congress and Columbus
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: have not only failed to lower prices, they're actually making
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: things worse. Okay, well, you know what opinions you're like,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: we all have them sphincters. Gas prices, energy bills, cost
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the health care hmm, trifecta fun all laying at the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: feet of the Democrats for making everything's that much worse
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: gas prices and energy bills. Who's pursuing the green agenda? Right?
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: The Democrats? They wanted, they professed, and they said out
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: loud all along, this is gonna get more expensive. It's intentional.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: We're shutting down powerful facilities, like energy production facilities that
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: generate power twenty four to seven y carbon dioxide. You're
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: gonna get a windmill in a solar panel. There sucks
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: to be you reducing the amount of abundant energy and
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the available energy intentionally to make life miserable for us,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: or at least it does how come we're not going
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: to November elections with Democrats scared as they can possibly
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: be because they did this to us intentionally cost the
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: healthcare Obamacare. How's the premium going on that? How's your
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: out of pocket responsibility and liability? Right? Ten five hundred
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: dollars per individual out of pocket before the insurance kicks
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: in with the premium that's already gone up. Oh my god.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: And then if you have a family lo and behold
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: twenty thousand dollars out of pocket responsibility? Is that medical insurance?
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Is it affordable? I think not? So. With that background,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: got a couple of op ed pieces combined. I just
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: pulled a few fun facts out of them over the journal.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Iran isn't winning this war, but it might if the
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: US stops the bombing due to higher oil prices. Yeah,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: that's what everybody's gotten excited about. Oh my god, straight
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: to horror, Moove shutdown. This is happen before. We have
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: seen the price spike as a consequence of war going
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: on over there. We saw the price of gas spike
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: as a consequence of Russia invading Ukraine. We weathered those storms.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: You'd think is it time for President Trump to call
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: off the bombing and declare victory in Iran. You'd think so,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: judging by the panic in Washington as the price of
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: oil spikes, and of course the Iranian strategy. Can it
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: do enough damage to the global energy markets to get
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: US and the Israelis to stop bobbing them into submission
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: so they can keep their regime. Maybe if people get
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: cold feet. Now, the price of oil did drop from
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: its just momentary spike about one and ten hundred and
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: fifteen yesterday, because it appears that the problem this is
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: going to get resolved sooner rather than later, and of
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: course the disruption will stop when the war does. Trump
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: called a small price to pay for major security advances,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: and of course we've weathered worse the twenty twenty two
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: evasion of Ukraine. Price of oil one hundred and forty
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: three barrel hmm, remember that in twenty eight it was
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: at twenty seventeen h and A point out that this
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: clamoring to end the war is probably going to increase
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: because well, Republicans also joining in the concern over the
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: fear of gasoline prices going in November, so worried that
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: we might stop prematurely cries from Chuck Schumer and others
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: to release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Chuck Schumer
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: who blocked Donald Trump from refilling it after Joe Biden
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: drew down more than two hundred and fifty million barrels
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: from it. We wanted to refill it at twenty nine dollars.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump wanted to tap into the three billion dollar
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: COVID nineteen stimulus money to refill the petroleum reserve. Nope,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: we're not doing it because Chucky Schumer claimed it would
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: be a ballout for the oil industry. Yeah, well, now
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: price of oil is ninety to one hundred dollars a barrel, Chucky,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: how about refilling it. It's down to about four hundred million.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: It has a capability of seven hundred plus million barrels.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: You need it for strategic reasons. Joe Biden tapped it
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: to lower gas prices because well of politics. Huh, the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: same people who want you to have to spend a
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: whole hell of a lot more money for the price
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: of gasoline. Again, the off repeated quote from Barack Obama. Yes,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the price of gasoline will necessarily increase. Now, let's pivot
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: over to New York, where you have an actual, real
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: life scenario unfolding, and it's hard for It's politically hard
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: for Democrats. Governor Hockel trying to unring the bell of
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen Climate Act, which requires New York to
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: cut greenhouse gas emissions by about one quarter from that
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: from that year's twenty nineteen levels by twenty thirty and
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: ultimately remove it. How's that going for him? It's not
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: The law is on the books. Hokel cannot persuade the
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: green the Democrats in all the need to change the law,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: and it's bringing about steep electric bills, saddling the state
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: with three relatably distinct problems. Threats to the grid reliability,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: rising electric bills, and a looming surge in fuel prices
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: because of the war in Iran. No, because of the
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: law they passed in twenty nineteen. They did this to
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: themselves and New Yorkers are struggling. Do you think your
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: energy bills back? Can you imagine being there? New York
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: posts are part of the most ominous problem, the growing
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: risk of New York City might have difficulty keeping the
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: lights on as soon as June. It happened last year
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: in the heat wave when temperatures reach one hundred and
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the electric grid collapsed or at least failed for a
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: lot of people for a period of time. State air
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: quality regulations related to the twenty nineteen Climbing Act have
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: already forced operators to close a few dozen peaker plower
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: power plants. Those are the ones that can bring online
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: when the wind ain't blowing and the sun ain't shining.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: That lost peaker capacity should have been replaced years ago,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: but state environmental officials in the twenty nineteen Climate Act
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: blocked the power plant upgrades in two specific places, Astoria
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: as well as Orange County that stopped upgrades. The remaining
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: stock keeps getting older. Get a load of this too,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: yet to be replaced power plants in a story that
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: went offline amid the heat last year. Built in nineteen
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: fifty four, nineteen fifty eight, this is twenty twenty six.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: We do have more modern technology plants that are more efficient.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Those should have been upgraded. Sorry, the twenty nineteen climateac says,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: no sucks to be you. You can't do it, and
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: by the way, the residents of the Greater New York
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Area are going to suffer for it. November bills up
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: an average seven percent over last year. Get a load
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: of this up forty seven percent since the twenty nineteen
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Climate Act in New York had passed on average some
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: bills of more than double depending upon which area you
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: live in. New York state energy forecast published without fair
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and fair last year, they say, showed that electric prices
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: across upstate New York could rise by at least an
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: additional forty percent in the next five years. Are Democrats
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: worried about the election in November because of what they did? No,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Apparently nobody in Republican nobody in the Republican Party even
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: runs there anymore. You're stuck with it. Meanwhile, everybody's screaming
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: about a fifty cent increase in gasoline probably and by
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: most estimates, that is going to be for the short term.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: This stuff's permanent, folks. Some of the biggest state wide
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: costs there in New York because of the Climbing Act,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: offshore wind and new power line under the Hudson River,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: which haven't even shown up on the customer's bills yet,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: meaning it's going to go up even more. They've been
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: fending off lawsuits by environmental groups upset that officials haven't
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: used the Climate Acts, long promised and legally required regulations
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: the increased fuel costs for homes, businesses, and vehicles. The
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: state depart Environmental Conservation was supposed to implement those regulations
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, but Governor Hockel, Democrat in
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: a state that voted to bring in the twenty nineteen
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Climate Act, has resisted. Why because that system of regulations,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: which are legally required to go into effect and have
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: been legally required for the last years to go into effect,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: that have yet to do so, would increase gasoline prices
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: by are you ready again a self inflicted wound a
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: dollar sixty two per gallon, also raising the price of
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: home heating oil, diesel, and natural gas. Why because of
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: a signature back in twenty nineteen by the Governor of
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: New York. Nobody's running around pulling their hair out over that.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Are they evil Orange man? Causing the price of gas
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: to go up? While all the while the Democrats have
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: been doing this to us. It wasn't that long ago
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: we were all paying five dollars a gown for gas.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: We weathered that storm. Wow, the November elections. Why won't
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: people pay attention to what the Democrats have done that,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: have forced everything to get more expensive. Why isn't this
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: a political liability for the Democrats. Why is a temporary
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: spike and gasoline causing people to run for the hills
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: and screaming and pulling their hair on? Oh my god,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: oh my god. The November elections? Eh right, how they
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: get away with it? I have no idea five eighteen
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: right now fifty five kre see the talk station five
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: one three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: and eighty two to three Talk TUND five fifty on
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: AT and T phones. Feel free to chime in. I'd
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: love to hear from you. Be right back. Here's what's happening,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Sarah claud, New York City, two devices five one three,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: seven fifty five hundred, eight hundred to eighty two to
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: three talk. Remind me of caller Bobby, who regularly tells
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: everybody faith, Emily, firearms and freedom, and keep your eyes
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: ever vigilant. He does the over and under on violence
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: in downtown cincinnat but also is worrying about perhaps terrorist
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: activities and the Bobby, I know you're out there something.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Maybe we need to be ever vigilant over aronsen a
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: what is called potential operational trigger, and our overseers federal
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: government FBI, etc. Are concerned that this may be an
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: activation of what they call sleeper assets around the globe.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Coded signals sent out after the death of Iranian Supreme
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Leader League Ali Kamani message appearing to hold instructions for
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: covert operatives or sleeper assets, at least accorded reports by
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: ABC News talking to federal officials, they say the message
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: could be intended to activate and provide instructions to preposition
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: sleeper assets operating outside the originating country. That's, according to
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: the alert, that will be maybe the eighteen to twenty
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: thousand known gutaways that got into our country that may
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: very well be part of terrorist organizations. This is a
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: warning that my friend Colonel Bob Kattire mentioned to me
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: in an article that he's circulated from one of those
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: military outlets, talking about, well, we've got a real problem
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: on our hands. Potentially you take the eighteen thousand you
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: divided by five for whatever reason, five man units were
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: sort of the I guess, the ideal, and they're talking
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: about highly trained, like Navy Seal trained covert operatives. This
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: was the speculation in the article. I don't know whether
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: it's true or not, but these were, again a former
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: military officials talking about the practical reality and the concerns
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: raised by that number of people. Divided by five, you
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: got thirty six hundred and five man teams spread out
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: about the throughout the United States. That's enough five man
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: team for seventy two per state. And then the article
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: that was forwarded around went into gory and glorious detail
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: about how much harm that these special ops type five
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: men teams could do in any given state. Shutting off
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: electric grids was the immediate thing that came to mind.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: So we've got this warning, and of course you got
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: what's going on in New York. You already had these
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: acts of terrorism. These guys were bat crap crazy. Amir
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, they got arrested. They actually said, yeah,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: we were trying to make something worse than the Boston
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: marathon bombing in twenty thirteen. Not enough people died in
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: that it was only three court to the reporting. The
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: defender wrote in a statement after his arrest, all praise
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: is due to Allah, Lord of all worlds. I pledge
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: my allegiance to the Islamic State die in your rage
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: you kufar thankfully, Kufar not an FCC non compliant word.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: It's an Arabic term referring to an infidel or non believer.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Put me in that category. I guess they've been both
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: charged with five criminal counts attempted provision of material and
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: resources to a designated foreign terrorist group. Of course, the
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Islamic State is a designated terrorist group. Just one of
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: a variety of incidents that have happened recently. Hell, they
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: shut down in a Southwest flight the other day because
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: a guy's phone went off. Passenger head has set a
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: timer on his phone to mark the prayer time during Ramana.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: On that coused some concern on the plane, which caused
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: the plane to delay. Authorities had to come on the
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: plane and go through baggage and find out if there
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: was any explosive device. That's a little unsettling if you're
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: on an airplane. But in these trying times, you might
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: want the Department of Homeland Security to be funded. Hey,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Chucky Schumer, you worried about the concerns because DHS is
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: not being funded because of the shutdown, there might be
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: a security lapse. Fair to fund DHS may look in
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: retrostract retrospect like the height of partisan recklessness. Thank you
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal Editorial board for that fun fact. Because,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: in addition to airports security screeners, DHS includes the Coast Guard,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: which has personnel supporting, the US Navy in Bahrain, Secret Service,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: and the Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security Agency, none of
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: which are currently being paid. I wonder if they're taking
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: days off because they're not getting a paycheck. Chuck Schumer
• 16:54

  Speaker 1: Happy Tuesday. FOP President Ken kober On the city manager
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: doing a great job. At least that's what city council says,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: also calling for more transparency. Why don't they speak with
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: local media. Let's go to the phones. I got Rich
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: on the phone. Tom, you're next, Hang on, Rich, Thanks
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: for calling this morning. Welcome to the morning show.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Hey, we're on.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: First time I ever calling a talk show. So keep
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: your dump right, buddy ready, keep it ready. You never
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: know uh to shut down. This thing kills me all
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: the time. Every what three to six months, we're gonna
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: shut down. We're gonna shut down.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: We need to weave a people.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: We need to vote these clowns out. But for the
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: most part, we need to put in a wall. If
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: you shut it down, you can't run for Congress, you
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: can't run for the SIDI, you can't run for anything again.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: Well that's the only way we're gonna do get rid
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: of it. If we could.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: I don't know how to do that, but that's what
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: we need. If you if you shut it down, you
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: can't run again.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Well, I think that's your Your point is is fine,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: but it's like term limits. I think we have only
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: ourselves to blame for voting the same damn people back
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: in office. We certainly could vote them out of office
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: as a consequence of them shutting the government down. But
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: you know this is this is where we find ours overage.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I like to say start voting independent. Christopher
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: Smithman he had been great.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: I don't agree everything he says, but he seemed like
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: the nicest die and anybody who can step up and
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: be a mom too.
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: That's a good character.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: He is, yes, absolutely a man of high character and quality.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: But I think a better solution would be, and you know, hell,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: let's have them put their money where their mouth is.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: And they're happy to deny people of paycheck, knowing full
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: well that you know after the government reopens that those
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: employees have been doing without are going to get their
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: money back. But what do you do during the period
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: of time when you don't have the money flowing in? Fine,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: how about their salaries stop? During any government shut down,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: the senators and the representatives get nothing zero Oh and
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: their staff good call Joe, right, but we're still working.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: I know you're not your harumphing, So suck it up.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: You've done it to other people. Then you're not going
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: to get paid either. I think that's a reasonable thing.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: They would have to they would have to vote that in.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: I want to see them on record, no, we're not
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: going to deprive ourselves of a paycheck that we're depriving others.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: And of course, within that piece of legislation, it could
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: reflect that they will get what is coming to them
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: retroactively when the government opens back up, just like the
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: rest of the government employees. So try that one, guys.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Let's see how that works. Tom Welcome in the morning,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: showing a very happy Tuesday.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: To you, did you say.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: I didn't get a rumph out of that guy?
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: And you didn't and you didn't get a phrasing button
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: or nothing? Okay, I'm is that like coo far? Is
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: that close to flu bar?
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: It could be.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm not sure.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: I haven't heard that word though I don't speak the language.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: I just read what right, based on what your your translation,
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: your definition is, I think I might fall into that category.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Well, well, Tom, you have seen blazing saddles. You know
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: what her rump is? Right?
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just breaking it up because I don't I'm
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: trying to remember last time I heard you use that word.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: So it's been a minute, so right there you go. So, yeah,
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: you've heard the phrase. Everyone's heard the phrase, if it
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: ain't broke, don't fix it. So the Democrats change that phrase,
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: and there there's is if it ain't broke, break it
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: and blame it on the Republicans and don't let them
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: fix it. No matter what you do, don't let them
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: fix it. We have to have the problem going on,
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: so we could point the finger at the Republicans, although
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: anyone with that decides to use half a brain can
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: see we're the ones that broke it, and we're the
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: ones keeping it broken.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: The Democrats, right, the Democrats, We don't.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: The Democrats don't want problems to be solved. They wants
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: to persist so they can have something to blame on
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: the Republicans. It's really that simple. And how do they
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: keep getting away with it us? It's because the media
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: is complicit and because of all these other useful idiots
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: that run around that get themselves all wound up and
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: do a frenzy and get their emotions all stirred up,
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: and they're willing to chant the same bs that the
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: Democrats come out of their stupid mouths and blame the Republicans. Look,
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: Republicans aren't perfect, but all these problems that are going on.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: I seem to remember, I just passed the gas station
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: a little bit ago three point fifty nine. If I'm
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: not mistaken, gas was much higher than that two years
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: ago without a war, correct so much so this is
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: this is all kinds of frenzy over nothing, And it's
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: just the Democrats taking advantage of a problem that they created.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: As you stated very clearly, they're the ones that created
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: is they want this problem to keep going on and
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: all they're doing is pointing to the aer across the aisle,
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: and they're flat out liars, Brian, They're liars, that's it.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: That's all it comes down through. And again the media
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: is complicit in this, and they're going to go along
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: with whatever Chucky and whatever AOC or any other leader
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: from the Democrat Party puts out there. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: they care about the people. Let's let's let's keep singing
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: this refrain. No, it's all lies.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: They're lying to you.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: They don't want the problems to be solved. They want
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: you to suffer, so they have something to blame on
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: their political opponent. Period. That's all this is about. Don't
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: vote Democrat, have a great day.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, blame it on the political opponent. But while at
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: the same time, the nefarious reality that's looming in the
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: background is they literally, i think quite literally, if they're
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: not aware of it, they're part of the useful idiot crowd.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: But the nefarious crowd, which is pulling the puppet strings globally,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: wants to ruin our economy. And it just really cracks
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: me up to see everybody pulling their hair out globally
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: over the price of oil. Going up over the short term.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: You know, do you think they're that concerned over it?
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, shouldn't the credit Thunberg's of the world be
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: rejoicing over the fact that we're consuming less soil because
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: twenty percent of the global demand and supply has been
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: taken out of the equation. Isn't that room for sal
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: isn't that cost for celebration? Now, the same people that'll
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: tell you you're supposed to pay more than you're supposed
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: to get away from using fossil fuel. Would I just again,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: is this because the media is complicit in hiding this reality?
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Or is it because we're too dumb to wake up
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: to the fact that what they're screaming about is the
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: antithesis of what they really want. They won high prices
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: of oil. Welcome, you got it overnight. Yeah, Irani and
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: war did it, and you got what we asked for.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Demand will necessarily go down when the price goes up.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Price of goods and services will necessarily go up, reducing consumption.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: This sounds like a socialist, globalist dream from my perspective.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Five point thirty six fifty five KC detalk station stack
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: is stupid. Although we feel we already entered it coming
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: up next or give me a call. Either way we
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: go be right back.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: This is fifty five KARC and iHeartRadio Station talkstation.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: By forty man five forty one I fIF five KRCD
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Talk Station. Happy Tuesday, five one three seven hundred two
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: three You talk Pound five fifty on eight and T
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: phone before you get to the stack's too. I got
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Bill on the lining. Bill, thanks for calling this morning,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: and Happy Tuesday to you, sir.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: Thanks.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Hey.
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: I just want to say Tom is one hundred percent correct.
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: I couldn't agree with him more. I have been saying
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: this to my friends all along, that they create the day,
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: the Democrats. Democrats create the problem, and then they want
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: to blame the Republicans because it's not getting sick. So
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: they thump their chests and tell the world we can
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: fix it, we can fix it, and of course we
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: end up with people like Harris and Biden that's going
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: to fix it. No, you can't vote for a Democrat.
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: If you do, you're just going to keep getting the
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: same garbage. So I couldn't agree with him more. I
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: was trying to explain exactly what Tom said to a
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: friend of mine last night. He can't. My friend can't
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: understand why the Democrats aren't in favor of, for one thing,
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: security in the country, keeping us safe. He can't understand that.
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: And I said, it's easy. The Democrats don't want it
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: right now. They absolutely want to see chaos, anarchy, violence,
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: so they can point the finger at someone else and
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: then ask for their vote.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Phil, I can see this one unfolding here. Here, here's
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: an illustration of what I think you're talking about here,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: the maybe just the the FBI, federal authorities warning about
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: this operational trigger activating sleep or Soul. So what happens
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: if that turns out to be true and there is
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: there are act of terrorism brought around by these Islamic fundamentalists.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: They're going to blame Trump for his launching a war
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: against Iran. Right, They're not going to blame Joe Biden's
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: open borders for allowing these sleeper cells to enter our
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: country unvetted and lurking in the shadows until they're activated. Right, Bill,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: that happened a while back. That was years in advance.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: When Joe Biden let that happen, he didn't know that
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: we were going to launch an operation against the Iranians.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: But you know who's going to get blamed for it.
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: As this tradition.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: I think you know a hosted scenario. Someone kidnap someone
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: and threatens to kill them unless you do something. If
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: you don't do whatever they ask you to, it's your
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: fault that they pulled the trigger. Yeah, mm hm, over
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: to the stack. Is stupid. Here you go. Sixteen year
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: old Idaho boy plead guilty of shooting a woman to
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: death with a stolen gun because he said she wouldn't
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: give him a ride and he thought that her brothers
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: had a role in his his friend's death. Her brothers
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Bobby Grant Jackson Junior. The suspect retortally reportedly told cops
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: referring to thirty year old Rebecca Riviera the victim, I
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: put a bullet in her brain. Sixteen years old plead
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: to go to his second agree murder and the shooting
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: death had occurred October of twenty five east of Boise.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Part of the plea deal, prosecutors drop a first degree
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: murder charge. Prosecutors told local news that the plea agreement
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: calls for the sentence between twenty and twenty seven years behind.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Barr family members found Rivera dead from a gunshot room
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: four pm in her mobile home, probably cause arrest. AFFI
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: David Obtained said Jackson was working earlier that day for
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: a subcontractor tractor renting a hospital. Employee told investigators at
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Jackson had asked to go to the bathroom. It was
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: gone a long time. Man went looking for and realized
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: that a handgun he had inside a lunch box in
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: his truck was missing and Jackson couldn't be found. Police
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: were called. Officers got surveillance footage showing Jackson enter the
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: truck and grabbing something. Detectives later followed up with the
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: gun owner gathered some ammunition he said he had said
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: was in the gun when it was stolen. Detectives compared
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: the bullets found a matching pattern from the shell casings
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: found at Rivera's home. Best Gutters Lord and Jackson had
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: been living at a halfway house while on probation from
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: a previous arrest for armed robbery. Employee there told police
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: that Jackson's phone showed that he was at a gas
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: station near Broadway Street, which is just down the street
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: from the murder scene. Detective spoke with the neighbors said
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: they saw Jackson early in the day asking for a ride.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Surveillance images confirmed that he was at a trailer park
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: sometime at about twelve thirty in the afternoon. They found
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: that Rivera was murdered with a nine millimeter handgun, same
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: type of weapon Jackson stole from the work site. Arrest
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Warren initially obtained for second degree murder. Cops took Jackson
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: to custody the day after the murder at his home.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: No relationship with Rivera vescued reportedly wrote that Jackson asked
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Rivera for a ride, and when she said no, he
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: said f it, went into the trailer and killed her.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Claimed that he recognized Rivera and believed her brothers had
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: killed his friends. Nobody knows where that came from. When
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: I asked if he killed Rivera as payback, he reportedly
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: answered in the affirm affirmative, saying again, I put a
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: bullet in her brain sixteen years old? Great?
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: What the hell?
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: No kidding? Cover? Sincey a great phone call to make
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: you might save you a heap loads of money. Krc
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: HEAP talk station five fifty one fifty five KRCD talk
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: station in Epy Tuesday, FLP President Ken Kober City Manager
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: apparently doing an awesome job, says since a city council.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: We'll get to the details on that coming up after
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Coup of the Hour news. He'll join the program at
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: six point thirty. All right, it is in the stacker. Stupid,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: but I'm gonna throw a giant Barbi streisand flag on this,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: you know, going back from the quote from Abraham Lincoln.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: If you read it on the internet, it's true. There
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: is a allegedly a new viral what is described as
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: weight loss hack sweeping Chinese social media. Chinese social media,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: young people putting plastic wrap over their mouths to prevent
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: any I guess calories or food from making contact with them.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: They protect this is just dumb. They pretend to chew
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: the food through the clingfilm and then of course spin
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: it out and throw it away. The plastic wrap is
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: allegedly supposed to act as a sort of mouth condom
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: to prevent you from ingesting calories while allowing you to
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: trick your brain into thinking that it is going to
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: receive nutrition. They say, it allegedly helps you feel satisfied
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: without actually consuming any calories. Ah, how about no, thank you, Michael.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: It simulating eating does not provide the body with energy.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Of course, stating the obvious, they say it could even
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: intensify cravings over time. Why because your body, your body's
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: not getting anything in return for the chewing. Don't they
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: have sugar free chewing gum that wouldn't produce any calories,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: but allow you the satisfaction of doing exactly what the
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: clean rap is doing without you know, weight gain or
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: anything associated with it. At least you get flavor. If
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: you're doing that chewing a clean rap, you're not even
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: get the taste of the food. And why would you
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: spit out food? I imagine the Chinese are dealing with
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: inflationary realities just like we are. Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: dumb Go to Washington. Specifically, Thurston County got a motorcycle
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: rider who ran from deputies, tracked down and arrested after
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: a K nineteen followed a trail of discarded clothing and
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: gear to a tarp where the suspect was hiding. Sheriff's
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: office of two sergeants were involved in a motorcycle pursuit.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: K nineteen, called in Witty, said that after a brief pursuit,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: the rider ditched the motorcycle and flat on foot, also
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: apparently parting ways with his shoes somewhere along the escape route.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: That's from the report. Canine Asher all right. Shortly afterward,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: began tracking the sheriffs. Tracking the scent, deputy said the
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: suspect tried to get away by clearing several tall fences,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: but left behind a helpful trail of personnel personal belongings,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: including a jacket, backpack, and riding pants. Idiots doing idiot
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: things because they're idiots.
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Track briefly lost, but Canine Asher directed the deputies to
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: a tarp in a nearby home where the suspect had
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: decided to hide. Sheriff's office said after some canine assisted persuasion,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: the suspect reconsidered his options and surrendered to deputies without incident.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Canine assisted persuasion, Yeah, can only imagine what that's like.

  Speaker 1: top of the top of the air news there brief
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: comments on that. I got a little bit more to
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: elaborate on because looks like a bunch of words that
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: mean absolutely nothing the review of city manager Cheryl Long. Anyway,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: fast forward an hour. We got Professor Scott Gerber is

• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Tom Zawastowski. We the People Convention dot Org's Tom on
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: why the politicians at Columbus are so scared to talk
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: to the media. Why is that. Fortunately one of them
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: came on the Morning show. It's a rare occasion where
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: we get one of the Ohio representatives to show up
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: on the Morning show. It don't seem to respond to
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Joe's calls for whatever reason, but DJ Sweringen did yesterday.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: We talked to him about his introduction of Holly's Law,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: and he was preceded by Holly herself. Of course, the
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: woman who got the brutal beat down in downtown Cincinnati,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: which did make the was a bit of a focus
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: within the Cincinnati Port Performance review of Eryl Long. So
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: that topic with Tom along with conservatives failing to show
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: up for a support the Ice rally that would include me,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: I didn't know there was one. Don't know that I'd
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: be inclined to show up any kind rally. Inside Scoop
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: with Bright Bart News. It is Tuesday. We do it
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: at every Tuesday. At eighty five today the economics Senator
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: John Carney on the economic impact of the war in Iran.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Of course I went on a tear in the last
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: hour on that point. Daniel Davis deep dive of course.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Retired Lieutenant colonel will give us an update on Iran
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: and my buddy Austin from Foreign Exchange with asked the
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: expert at the tail end of the program five one three,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: seven fifty eight two to three talk pound by fifty
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: on AT and T phones before I dive into the stupid.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Since then, he manage your performance review. At least that's
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: my perception. Let's see what CJ's got this morning. CJ,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: thanks for calling. Happy Tuesday.
• 35:35
  Speaker 8: Oh, good morning, and happy Tuesday to you as well.
• 35:38
  Speaker 8: You know you were just before the end of the
• 35:42
  Speaker 8: last hour you had your stacked with stupid. You should
• 35:45
  Speaker 8: almost just make it about Gavin Newsom these days, as
• 35:48
  Speaker 8: he's doing his little book tour after the Babylon b
• 35:53
  Speaker 8: there may not be a better satirical social media page
• 35:58
  Speaker 8: then the Gavin news pages. He's running around trying to
• 36:01
  Speaker 8: blame Donald Trump for the high gas prices in California.
• 36:06
  Speaker 8: Last week he had Chevron say, Hey, if you can't
• 36:09
  Speaker 8: get this cap and scam deal under control, we're out.
• 36:13
  Speaker 8: We're out next year too. We're gonna join Phillips, We're
• 36:17
  Speaker 8: going to join the other company that just left as well. Right,
• 36:21
  Speaker 8: And then last night Marathon did the same exact same thing,
• 36:26
  Speaker 8: which would leave California with two oil refiners. You were
• 36:29
  Speaker 8: still talking about, even though six hundred thousand people in
• 36:32
  Speaker 8: the last five years have moved out of the state
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: of California, you were still talking about, by far the
• 36:38
  Speaker 8: largest state in the Union with two oil refineries.
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: Why is their gas prices so high?
• 36:43
  Speaker 8: I know, the Straight of Four Moves is closed, and
• 36:46
  Speaker 8: they get all their gas, not just their oil, but
• 36:48
  Speaker 8: all their gasoline is now coming from or not all,
• 36:52
  Speaker 8: but about forty percent of it is coming from South
• 36:56
  Speaker 8: Korea and India through the Straight of Foor Moves. From
• 36:59
  Speaker 8: the oil, they're actually sending tankers from Texas to Jamaica,
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: so that way they can change the flag of this
• 37:06
  Speaker 8: shipping carrier to go through the Panama Canal. And he
• 37:09
  Speaker 8: wants to complain about this. I will tell all my
• 37:12
  Speaker 8: fellow former Californians.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: You moved to a state like.
• 37:15
  Speaker 8: Ohio, do not start voting Democrats because you feel like
• 37:19
  Speaker 8: they're a little bit over conservative.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: Do you know what?
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: There's a reason you moved here.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: I know, assimilate, Assimilate. It's great.
• 37:28
  Speaker 8: Like there might be times I sit there and think,
• 37:31
  Speaker 8: I don't know if I like that. But you know what,
• 37:33
  Speaker 8: I moved here for a reason, and it was not
• 37:35
  Speaker 8: to bring eight dollars a gallon gas.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Right well, I mean before the Strait of horr Moves
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: was closed, the Californians were playing close to five dollars
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: a gallon anyway. Because of the regulatory structure in California,
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: climate change and global warming and all my gobrell gonna die.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: That was the point in the last hour when I
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: was rant about New York. They're complaining about the problem there,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: electric bills, fuel prices high. It's because of the twenty
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: nineteen Climate Act that the New York Legislature passed and
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: the governors signed in the way it mandates this stuff.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: People screaming their bloody head off. Democrats are talking about
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: winning the November election, including California Democrats like Gavin Newsom,
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: talking about winning the on the backs of the Strait
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: of Horror Moves being closed, which has temporarily caused a
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: price and gaptical of gas go fifty cents, I mean
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: California versus the rest of the the rest of the
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: country mostly price of gas near five dollars. We're out
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: here paying a buck seventy as of a couple of
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: weeks ago. Big difference what policy may have, a big
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: difference in policy, big difference in price. It's okay if
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: gas is five bucks a gallon because of global warming
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: or whatever, but it's not okay the gas is high.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: We need to lower the price of gas because we're
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: making great inroads and beating the living crap out of
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: the Iranians who've been a thorn in our side since
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: the Ayatolla took over in nineteen seventy nine. How many
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: countless Americans have been killed by the Iranians or their
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: proxies over that period of time. I guess the red
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: line of the Santa been crossed. Donald Trump decided to
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: act on it, And yes, I don't know that it
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: was necessarily lawful, But you know what, we've got history
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: as our guide. Ever since World War Two, we've been
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: waging war across this planet of ours under both Republican
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: and Democrat administrations. Answer for all those first, before you
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: start going after Trump again, Do you have lawful reasons
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: to do it? Yeah? But I go back to legal
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: principles of waiver and estoppel. You know, you do something
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: long enough and nobody says anything about it. You will
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: basically given a free pass to continue to do it.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: Will that bring about some problems? Yes, the straight of
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: horror moves may be closed, but you know what, you know,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: damn well, it's going to be open again because it's
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: been closed before only to open again. Then your price
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: of gas will necessarily drop because that twenty percent of
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: the world's global demand is going through again. But in
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: states like New York we have the twenty nineteen Climbing Act,
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: and in states like California where we have the Cap
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: and trade or carbon credit or whatever the hell is
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: driving their prool fuel prices up along with all the
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: regulatory environment designed to rid the globe of plant food.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: Go it alone, you know, I think of the city
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: manager getting these props for budgeting, including in downtown Cincinnati.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Part of the budget included building a new solar array.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: The city took it upon itself to do that. And
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: going back to the last callers points, you know, don't
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: move out of California and come to Ohio and screw
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: things up for us by voting for these left wing policies.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: A shout out to former Anderson Township trustee Drew Pappus,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: who laments all of the people who left the city
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: of Cincinnati because it's so damn dysfunctional and fleeing to
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: places like Anderson Township where life's really good and the
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: tax revenue is grade and they seem to have a
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: well oiled machine budget wise. Don't screw it up for
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: the rest of them. Right having a conversation with a
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: couple of people I know, kind of left wingers leaving
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: for Florida. Settle in their house here and move it
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: out of Florida, I said the same thing to them.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: Don't screw it up for the Floridians, the entire country,
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: and at least people who are trying to flee for
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: lower taxes in a better, lower regulated life. They're going
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: to Florida. You're going to reap the benefits of all
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: those conservative policies by living there. You're going to save
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: on taxes, it's going to be cheaper, it's going to
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: be less expensive to live. You're going to enjoy it.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: But if you had your political way, that state wouldn't
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: exist in the situation that it's in right now. It
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: would probably look more like New York or California or Illinois,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: all the states that are bleeding and are drowning in
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: debt brought about by their own policies, plus life being
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: miserable based on their policies, again driving the cost of
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: doing anything in those states through the roof as a
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: consequence of the regulatory burden. We've got to do this
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: and right. This means certainly an imposition of a hardship
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: on everybody else who's actually just trying to live, thrive,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: and survive. Yeah, don't do that. Six fifteen fifty five
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: Kercit talks station get in touch with Jimmy Care Fireplaces sto.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: They enjoy an A plus with a better CD talk
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: station Heavy Tuesday, FLP President Ken Kober coming up to
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: talk about the city manager performance review. They say she's
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: doing a great job. Says it right here. Summary Jara
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: Long is the right person to lead the City of
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati a city manager. Period. Okay, well, they said it
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: must be true right course of the report that was released,
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: there were multiple phases, I guess in this particular case,
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: Phase six is profit. Phase one involved city manager presenting
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: her own ear end review. Council then passed phase two,
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: a motion laid out ten categories to review the city manager.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: First five categories they say, reflect budget priorities, public safety
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: and health number one, growing economy at growing economic opportunities,
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: thriving neighborhoods, fiscal stability, and excellent and equitable service delivery.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: You know, the E word had to be in there,
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: and now not talking about excellent. Of course, those are
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: these first five categories reflecting budget priorities. Then there were
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: five categories that reflect council priorities. Management, which includes recruitment, retention,
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: employee morale, major hires, culture of yes and no, removing bottlenecks,
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: draw your own conclusions. Leadership, the ability to prioritize, delegate
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: and lead government efficiencies, removing unnecessary burdens, removed projects forward,
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: used data driven approach, relationship and collaboration with council, mayor
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: and community partners. And then finally communication skills internal and external.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: So then you got phase three. After they outlined the
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: five of the ten categories, council members then engage with
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: internal and external stakeholders to give them information about the
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: city manager. Phase four they consider the city manager's own evaluation,
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: which was phase one, and finally phase five they voted
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: to go into executive session to talk about compensation and
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: their review of the city manager. Relative to the ten
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: categories identified. Ready for the word salad share Long is
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: the right person to lead the City of Cincinnati As
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: city manager. Miss Long has provided continuity in city government
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: over the past few years, with significant significant progress across
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: departments in performance based management and a focus on improving
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: service delivery as well as fiscal health. There will always
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: be challenges for any city manager, and the mark of
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: good leader is one that continuously improves and ups their
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: game in the face of those challenges. City Manager Long
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: has proven that she will always do just that. She's
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: good at game uping Joe. When there were challenges with
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: the snow removal in January of twenty twenty five, she
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: course corrected with new leadership in charge of Department of
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: Public Services, which has seen significant improvement based upon recent
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: snow emergencies. When she faced a tough public and safety
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: Oh this is a good one, we get snow removal.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: When she faced a tough public safety environment at Government
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: Square and in the summer of twenty twenty five, I
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: think those are two separate things. Problems at Government Square
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: problems generally speaking for violence in the summer of last year,
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: right when she faced those tough issues. She worked closely
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: with city council and the mayor to determine the resources
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: needed to turn it around. And she did yeah by
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: firing the police chief. At essence, Johdan, is it safer
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: in downtown Cincinnati? All these problems turned around? No, thank you, Dad.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: When she faced a budget deficit with the exhaustion of
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: federal ARBA dollars, she stepped up to make reductions while
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: still maintaining core services and investments in public safety and
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: delivering a structurally balanced budget, which of course included millions
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: of dollars for NGOC Todd Zenzer's report, and of course,
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: the funding of a brand new solar farm. Joe, am
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: I wrong in remembering that there were rumors of a
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: thirty one million dollar budget shortfall in the city. Did
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: I just maybe incorrectly read that the city manager has
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: acknowledged an opportunity for improvement in solidifying a more robust
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: human resource performance improvement process for her leadership team, which
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: will ensure a better alignment with expectations when performance issues arise.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: I'm just having fond recollection of partners when I was
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: a junior associate getting their red pen out and scratching
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: out unnecessary and useless verb from briefs. The city manager
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: also plans to implement a crisis communications framework. Well, it's
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: in the back of her mind. I guess that means
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: to ensure that we have a more formal process for
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: responding to crises such as the brawl in the summer
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: of twenty twenty five. Yeah, they're working on that. Additionally,
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: she has plans to put in place a single point
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: of contact to deployee since he on track rail dollars
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: as efficiently as effectively as possible. That one's still in
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: the back of her mind too. She has plans to
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: do it. There's your your overall summary, and then they
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: break it down to specific points points that I'm sure
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: FOP President Ken Kober is going to have a common
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: or two on he joins the program next. I hope
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: you can stick around for that. One should be fun.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: It's always great having keen on the fifty five Cares
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: Yet six point thirty fifty five care SED talk station.
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: Very happy to extra special Tuesday, the return of FOP
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: President Ken Kober representing the Sincinni Police Departments Union. Welcome
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: back ken Kobe or timing couldn't be better. Hey, maybe
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: that's why you're here. Did you read the city manager
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: performance review? She's awesome and she's the right person to
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: leave the city Cincinnati as city manager. Says the report, Ken, welcome.
• 48:17
  Speaker 7: Back, Thank good morning, Brian. Thanks for having me. It
• 48:20
  Speaker 7: was a certainly an interesting report.
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: I mean I read the summary just a moment ago
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: out loud, and a lot of it sounds like some
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: sort of college professor's psychobabbel exercise and amounts to a
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: bunch of nothingness. There's a plan to do this, she
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: has an idea on this, and it's all awesome. I
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: guess let's turn to public self health and safety. According
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: to report, one of the successes she launched and achieving
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: Change Together for Since he act for Since he described
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: as a holistic, comprehensive, community driven plan to reduce gun violence,
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: reducing overall shootings by twelve point five percent in the
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: first year. I'm not sure where that statistic come from. Ken.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: Is that an aspirational goal or do we actually get
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: a reduction in violence because I don't see. I mean,
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: at least my reading the news is we still have
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: a serious problem with gun violence in the city.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 49:08
  Speaker 9: Well, We're at fifteen homicides so far this year, pretty
• 49:11
  Speaker 9: small sample, only the first two months of the year.
• 49:13
  Speaker 9: I mean, we're obviously only in the second week of March,
• 49:15
  Speaker 9: but we're on pace to have ninety homicides, which ironically
• 49:19
  Speaker 9: is twenty percent or twenty more homicides than we had
• 49:23
  Speaker 9: last year. So I'm not so sure that, at least
• 49:26
  Speaker 9: at this point, which is the coldest months of this year,
• 49:30
  Speaker 9: I'm not so sure that the gun reviolence reduction program
• 49:34
  Speaker 9: is actually working.
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah. And plus we're going into November. It is
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: a very big political year, so I suspect rallies and
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: you know, protests and all that are gonna be rolling
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: out in the streets. It's great an opportunity for even
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: more violence coupled with the heat. I don't want to,
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: you know, suggest that that is actually going to happen,
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: but logic and reason dictates that we need to be
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: concerned about that.
• 49:56
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I just I mean, I said, when
• 49:59
  Speaker 9: you're in the slow months of the year and you're
• 50:02
  Speaker 9: already surpassing a projection of homicides, I don't know that
• 50:10
  Speaker 9: touting that gun violence is down is necessarily the right thing,
• 50:13
  Speaker 9: especially coming off a mass shooting of nine people shot,
• 50:17
  Speaker 9: and then the next weekend we had two homicides on
• 50:20
  Speaker 9: a Sunday morning, And there's just a lot of things
• 50:24
  Speaker 9: that don't point towards gun violence going in.
• 50:26
  Speaker 7: The right direction.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: Well, they praised her for continuing to invest in police
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: and fire departments in the new recruit classes, touting the
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: fire department reaching its full compliment for the first time
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: in a long time and the police department getting closer
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: to a full compliment. Are are we closer too? Because
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: every time you and I talk can Cover, I keep
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: hearing about more and more officers planning on retiring or
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: maybe choosing a different law enforcement agency to work for.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: Where are we in terms of the full compliment? And
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: is this even close to accurate or partially accurate?
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there is.
• 50:58
  Speaker 7: Certainly a silver lining.
• 50:59
  Speaker 9: I mean, I think the city manager has invested in
• 51:03
  Speaker 9: the police department at least financially. You know, there has
• 51:06
  Speaker 9: been a commitment to these recruit classes. The problem is,
• 51:09
  Speaker 9: you know, there's been no commitment or even a thought
• 51:12
  Speaker 9: of trying to retain people. You know, recruitment is just
• 51:15
  Speaker 9: one portion of this. You know, when you're hiring sixty
• 51:18
  Speaker 9: cops a year, but you're losing ninety. That math isn't working,
• 51:22
  Speaker 9: you know, And until they find a way to retain
• 51:25
  Speaker 9: officers and slow down retirements, we're going to continue to
• 51:29
  Speaker 9: be in the situation we are.
• 51:30
  Speaker 7: But like I said, not not all is lost.
• 51:32
  Speaker 9: I certainly do appreciate the fact that, you know, the
• 51:34
  Speaker 9: city manager is committed to hiring more officers. But it's
• 51:40
  Speaker 9: just the right thing to do when when you don't
• 51:42
  Speaker 9: have enough of something, you should be doing these things anyway. So,
• 51:46
  Speaker 9: like I said, that's kind of a silver lining. I
• 51:48
  Speaker 9: would I wouldn't pad anybody too much on the back
• 51:51
  Speaker 9: for just doing the right thing. But it certainly is
• 51:53
  Speaker 9: appreciated because we've had past counsels, past mayors that it
• 51:56
  Speaker 9: has not been a priority. So, you know, for her,
• 51:59
  Speaker 9: I certainly do appreciate ate that part.
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: One of the five categories council looked for as a
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: priority was communication external and internal, and the relationship that
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: the city manager has with the police department. It was
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: suspiciously absent here. Nothing about encouraging or you know, patting
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: her on the back for her, you know, reaching out
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: to the police, otherwise publicly supporting them and That's one
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: of the things Christopher Smitheman regularly complains about. It is like,
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: where is the support for police? How come there's no
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: outlile recognition of the work they do. Praise for the
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: police department seems to be absent across the board in
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: leadership in downtown Cincinnati.
• 52:35
  Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, and it's little things like that. Well,
• 52:37
  Speaker 9: I'll give you an example. You we just graduated fifty
• 52:40
  Speaker 9: four people. You know, city manager shows up, swears them
• 52:42
  Speaker 9: in and then walks out there in the middle of
• 52:44
  Speaker 9: the ceremony. A lot of people took notice of that. Yeah,
• 52:48
  Speaker 9: that's not really showing support when you can't sit there
• 52:51
  Speaker 9: for another fifteen twenty minutes until graduations complete and then leave.
• 52:55
  Speaker 7: You know, it's little things like that.
• 52:57
  Speaker 9: You can say all day long when you're standing in
• 53:00
  Speaker 9: a camera that you support the police, that you support
• 53:02
  Speaker 9: public safety.
• 53:03
  Speaker 7: But it's the actions that speak a.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: Lot louder than words. Do amen to that FOP President
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: can coverer. Hold, we'll come back. We'll talk a little
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: bit more about this glowing review for the city manager
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: and see if there's areas where you think FOP President
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: can cover. Maybe the union response to the City of
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati's review performance review is city Manager Cheryl Long. I've
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: read through the report. I guess I'm wondering FOP President
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: kencober was there anything missing in there, anything that wasn't
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: address or anything that you thought perhaps maybe she got
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: a glowing or is it review when it wasn't deserved,
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: or maybe that she deserves some glowing reviews for something
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: she's done. I'm, of course focusing on crime and law
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: enforcement and violence in the city of Cincinnati, since that
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: you're bailliwick there, Ken cober Well, I mean, the only.
• 53:47
  Speaker 9: Thing that I thought that was absolutely glaring that was
• 53:50
  Speaker 9: missing were, of course the tough topics, like the fact
• 53:53
  Speaker 9: that we have a police chief that's on administrative leave
• 53:56
  Speaker 9: and has been since October, you know, eight point two
• 53:59
  Speaker 9: million dollar pace out the criminals for breaking the law
• 54:01
  Speaker 9: in twenty twenty.
• 54:02
  Speaker 7: I do understand that she inherited that mess, but you know,
• 54:06
  Speaker 7: what you do with a mess that you inherit.
• 54:08
  Speaker 9: Says a lot about you, And I think just paying
• 54:11
  Speaker 9: off criminals was was not a very good look. And
• 54:14
  Speaker 9: then of course, you know, necessarily doesn't affect the police,
• 54:17
  Speaker 9: but it does at least somewhat is you know, dealing
• 54:20
  Speaker 9: with Michael Washington. I did see there was one line
• 54:22
  Speaker 9: in there that this is going to make a better
• 54:24
  Speaker 9: effort to create a robust human resources.
• 54:29
  Speaker 7: You know, plan for department heads. I'm like, let me
• 54:33
  Speaker 7: just call it what it is. You know, these these
• 54:35
  Speaker 7: have been really, really troubling things that have happened.
• 54:39
  Speaker 9: When you're talking about terminating Mike Washington, you know, the
• 54:41
  Speaker 9: administratively for the chief, those are those are huge things
• 54:45
  Speaker 9: that you thought that council would have at least addressed.
• 54:49
  Speaker 7: But they just completely skipped over it like it didn't.
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: Happen, skipped over like it didn't happen. And then, you
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: know who the whole idea of having a human resource
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: person that that person is supposed to be at least
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: informed in employment law, and that person might want to say, hey,
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: if you're going to suspend a police chief, you might
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: want to have a specific reason to do it. They
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: had to hire an independent law firm to go out
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: into the world and look at her thirty plus year
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: record to try to find some reason to justify putting
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: her on pay leave. They haven't been able to find anything.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: Apparently they've extended that retention of the law firm twice
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: now to this day, Ken, we have no explanation why
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: police chief these he was placed on admin leave none.
• 55:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah, how that's.
• 55:29
  Speaker 9: Not worthy of at least addressing and somebody that makes
• 55:33
  Speaker 9: decisions that is beyond me, which is why I believe that,
• 55:36
  Speaker 9: you know, this report is just it is what it is.
• 55:39
  Speaker 7: It's just a bunch of fluff.
• 55:40
  Speaker 9: You know, I don't think that any of this was
• 55:43
  Speaker 9: done and really a genuine attitude of hey, let's take
• 55:48
  Speaker 9: a hard look at what the city manager's doing, and
• 55:50
  Speaker 9: you know, if we see that they're shortcomings, what can
• 55:52
  Speaker 9: we do to encourage her to you know, to succeed
• 55:57
  Speaker 9: instead of some of these failures.
• 55:59
  Speaker 7: And it just wasn't there.
• 56:00
  Speaker 9: This was just you know, a couple of pieces, you know,
• 56:03
  Speaker 9: words on a piece of paper that let's move on
• 56:05
  Speaker 9: with life.
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: Well exactly. And I guess I'm not suggesting that I
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: expected anything other than this glowing review from since any
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: city council. I mean, do you think they would dare
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: to undermine the perception of unanimity and glowing reviews with
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: have to have purvoll as mayor and all Democrats running council,
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: and this is their choice for city manager. They're not
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: going to criticize themselves as the mayor for uh, for
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: maybe some errors things like police chief, THEGI and other
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: things that you and I might point to by way
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: of criticism.
• 56:34
  Speaker 9: Now, and this is why people are frustrated. The general
• 56:37
  Speaker 9: public is no one, No one's asking for her head
• 56:40
  Speaker 9: on a platter. All we're asking for is transparency and
• 56:43
  Speaker 9: if there's room for improvement, as we've seen there certainly.
• 56:47
  Speaker 7: Is, why would you not address that? You know, that's
• 56:50
  Speaker 7: that should be what part of government is.
• 56:52
  Speaker 9: We're using taxpayer dollars, you know, to fund people's salaries,
• 56:56
  Speaker 9: to fund projects.
• 56:57
  Speaker 7: All these things.
• 56:58
  Speaker 9: I think most people just want to try parentcy and hey,
• 57:00
  Speaker 9: we know you're human, we know you make mistakes. Here
• 57:03
  Speaker 9: here's where your failures have been. Here's where we expect
• 57:05
  Speaker 9: you to get better. And it just wasn't there. It
• 57:08
  Speaker 9: just it's it should not have been a surprise. But
• 57:11
  Speaker 9: I'll be honest, I am disappointed that they didn't at
• 57:14
  Speaker 9: least take.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: This more seriously, didn't take it more seriously in this
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: comment about delivering a structurally balanced budget, I'm puzzling over
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: that one, ken because I thought they were short on
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: money and that they had a budget deficit. Any comment
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: on that before we part company, Ken, Well, yeah.
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 57:29
  Speaker 9: I do find it interesting that one of those topics
• 57:31
  Speaker 9: and there was fiscal health. Yet the city managers made
• 57:34
  Speaker 9: it clear that I'm not even going to ask for
• 57:35
  Speaker 9: a raise because we're going to be in a deficit. Yeah,
• 57:38
  Speaker 9: and we're not sure we're going to ask city departments
• 57:41
  Speaker 9: to cut money. But yet we've given away I just say.
• 57:45
  Speaker 7: We they have given away what five million dollars.
• 57:48
  Speaker 9: For west End reparations, you know, four hundred thousand dollars
• 57:52
  Speaker 9: that they want to give to start a sports bar
• 57:55
  Speaker 9: in west End.
• 57:56
  Speaker 7: I mean, these are things that just defy logic.
• 58:00
  Speaker 9: When you're worried about balancing a budget and you're just
• 58:03
  Speaker 9: giving money away for things, It just it boggles my mind.
• 58:07
  Speaker 9: But having been here twenty six years, not much surprises me.
• 58:11
  Speaker 9: I just continue to scratch my head at how silly
• 58:14
  Speaker 9: some of these things are.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: Well, and you know, other points to bring up in
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: terms of budget. They're funding a new solar panel array,
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: which we all know it's important for the city to do,
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: and we've got the NGOs. Todd Zender's been tracking that
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: literally millions and millions of dollars shelled out over a
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: year after year after year for the same non governmental organizations.
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: And we don't seem to have any understanding whether any
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: of those non government organizations have accomplished anything and what
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: they're using the money for. I mean, I don't know,
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: I Ken, I saw.
• 58:46
  Speaker 9: Actually, it's funny you say that I saw one of
• 58:48
  Speaker 9: those things, one of the NGOs that those of the
• 58:52
  Speaker 9: needle needle Exchange program has gotten almost a million dollars
• 58:58
  Speaker 9: over the.
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: Last seven years, billion dollars.
• 59:01
  Speaker 7: It just it boggles my mind where all of the
• 59:04
  Speaker 7: waste is.
• 59:04
  Speaker 9: And I just they said I shouldn't be surprised by it,
• 59:08
  Speaker 9: but yeah, it just makes me scratch my head when
• 59:10
  Speaker 9: you look at these things. But it is ironic that,
• 59:13
  Speaker 9: you know, all of the labor unions for the City
• 59:15
  Speaker 9: of Cincinnati over the next year are going to be
• 59:18
  Speaker 9: engaging in contract negotiations and all of a sudden arount
• 59:21
  Speaker 9: of money.
• 59:22
  Speaker 7: You know, it's the same tactic, just a different council.
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: And on that note, FFP President Ken cob Or, thank
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: you for joining the program this morning. Always appreciate your
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: willingness to do so point out some of the obvious
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: disparities we have in the Sandy Manager review. Ken, have
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: a wonderful day, and thank you on behalf of all
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: my listening audience and everybody affiliated and associated with the
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: fifty five KRC Morning Show. Trust me, we have your
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: back and we're here to help you make things better
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: for all the residents of the City of Cincinnati. Kenkober

• 59:56
  Speaker 1: Talk Station, Happy Tuesday to you. It's mentioned in here. Yeah,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: the City Manager's glowing review from the City Council one
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: of the points thriving neighborhoods continued to advance the Green
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati Plan strategic actions including launching the Center Hill Solar Farm,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: which they say will provide the equivalent of power of
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: twelve hundred homes. They don't say what the cost of
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: the Center Hill Solar Farm is, what the maintenance and
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: upkeep of the Center Hill Solar Farm is, but of
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: course it's part of the Green Cincinnati Plan. Of course,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnati on its own can reduce carbon
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: output on the globe. That's right, like a flea urinating
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: into the Pacific Ocean. Every little bit counts. Except I
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: just pivoted over to the war going on in Iran.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: How much carbon did is the city going to remove
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: from the environment with the Center Hill Solar Farm, and
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: how much carbon and actual pollutants see because I don't
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: believe plant food is actually a pollutant. It's a naturally
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: occurring phenomenon and it is necessary to sustain life on
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: this planet. But what I'm sure is the bombs being
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: dropped all over Iran and around the Middle East right
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: now have far outweighed any negation from the Cincinnati Center
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: Hills Solar far my wild I guess one single bomb
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: dropped over there has eliminated any negation to the carbon
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: dioxide from our atmosphere, but also put all kinds of
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: real pollutants into the atmosphere. Yeah, I hate to state
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: the obvious, but we're all breathing the same air, the
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: Iranians and the people of the city of Cincinnati. The
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: wind currents and all that kind of stuff. You know,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: weather's brought here from far away parts, volcanoes, negate, all
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: the carbon negation. In fact, that the wildfires that were raging,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: I believe it was in Canada, but we also had
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: the California wildfires. But I believe it was the Canadian
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: wildfires widely reported to have eliminated all of the efforts
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: by the entire state of California to negate carbon dioxide.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: As I pointed out the five o'clock hour, you know,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: everybody's screaming about high gasoline prices. What all the green
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: energy projects around the globe designed to get the high
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: get gasoline to go through the roof, and they're going
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: to remain. I talked about the New York twenty nineteen
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: New York Plan. State of New York has these mandates
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: to get rid of carbon dioxide. The price of energy
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: there has gone through the roof, and people are pulling
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: their hair out, and the Democrats want to try to
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: roll that thing back. That's something they did intentionally. War
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: has problems and ripple effects, and yeah, the Straight of
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: Horror Moves is gonna get shut down like it has
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: been shut down multiple times before. Yes, the price of
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: gasoline has gone up because of global conflict conflict previously,
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: like the moment the Russians invaded Ukraine, price of gas
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: went through It went up the roof a lot higher
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: than it is now. It came back down again. But
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: until someone shows up and repeals the very costly for
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: the average American consumer. Legislation that is trying to remove
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: plant food from any given area, the prices aren't going
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: to go down. Where's the protests in the street over that? One?

  Speaker 1: Professor Scott Gerber, Welcome to the program, Scott. An impressive
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: background you have, and I appreciate your willingness to join
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: the program this morning and to do the seminar tonight.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the show.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 10: Well, thank you, Brian, thanks for having me. And I'm
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 10: particularly delighted to talk to you because you're a lawyer,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 10: and my take on the declaration is lawyer oriented.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: I get it, and you know, the cool thing about
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: it is and the notes suggested because you had an
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: interesting quote from Abraham Lincoln speaking about the Constitution relative
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: to the Declaration of Independence. But the Constitution was the
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: structure to protect and preserve and give form to the
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: Declaration's moral truth. That moral truth is that we are
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: created equal, but we are endowed specifically with unalienable rights.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: In other words, you're born with them and the government
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: can't take them away, or only the government is in
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: a position to take them away, something our colonists experience
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: under the thumb of oppression from England. We have God
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: given rights. That's the point. This is sort of a
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: new concept in the world when the Declaration of Independence assigned.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: That's exactly right.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 10: And you just summarized what Walter Isaacson called the greatest
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 10: tentons ever written. And your listeners know the sentence, but
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 10: I'm going to read it anyway. We hold these truths
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 10: to be self evident, that all men are created equal,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 10: that they are endowed by the Creator with certain unailable
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 10: rights that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 10: of happiness. And my talk tonight is going to be
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 10: about the relationship between those moral truths and the Constitution
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 10: of the United States, and how the Constitution is that
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 10: political architecture designed to effectuate the moral truth of the
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 10: Declaration of Independence.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: Well, I always like to refer things as the state
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: of nature, so like, for example, if we're discussing our
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: Second Amendment rights, which the Founders recognize most nutably since
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: Britain tried to liberate everyone from their firearms and their
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: further ability to defend themselves. If you were born in
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: the wild, there are no forms of government. You are
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: there by yourself.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: What do you have?
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: You have literally everything. You can worship who you want
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: to worship. You can defend yourself from the dangers that
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: may lurk around the corner with no one telling you
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: you can't. We could go on. There's no one there
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: to intrude into your personal effects. And papers, on and
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: on and on. Those are embodied in the Bill of Rights,
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: and I think they speak the truth. If you sort
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: of put yourself in that position pre government, you are free,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: quite literally, And while we must have rules and laws
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: that may curb those freedoms in an ordered society, it
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: doesn't take away the fact that you have these inalienable rights, correct.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 10: And the government is not supposed to infringe on our rights.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 10: They're supposed to protect the rights that our creator and doubt.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: Us with supposed to right. But also, i mean, let's
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: let's face it, this is the red light of the
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: sand and the gods and the and the Declaration of
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: Independence also points out listen basically and boiled down in
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: Brian Thomas's verbiage, you know, when you're fed up, when
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: you can no longer tolerate the oppression, you're a feeling
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: you have the right to overthrow that form of government.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 10: Exactly. And the Declaration, as my work documents, is grounded
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 10: in the political philosophy of John Locke, and his famous
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 10: contribution included the right to revolution when the government itself
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 10: can't be reformed and instead infringes on our rights and
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 10: becomes tyrannical.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And isn't it interesting that the left, those who
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: seek to undermine the United States of America, given all
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: of its wild success based on these freedoms. Wants to
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: put into its place something more along the American to
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: something socialist, which is, if nothing else, a complete eradicator
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: of freedoms and liberties exactly.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 10: And another part of my talk is about Clarence Thomas'
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 10: commitment to the Declaration of Independence. One of my books
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 10: is about Clarence Thomas, and the reason I wrote the
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 10: book was he had a shared interest in the connection
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 10: between the Declaration and the Constitution. And his most famous
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 10: contribution to American jurisprudence, which we saw implemented in twenty
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 10: twenty three, was that rights in the United States or
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 10: individual rights, not group rights. And that's why the Supreme
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 10: Court declared it illegal to have race based admissions policies,
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 10: for example, in the nation's colleges and universities.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: One of the biggest failures I think in American education
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: is that young people were never really quite clearly taught
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: much beyond the just simple bait. We declared independence from Britain,
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: and then they move on the reason for the declaration,
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people might not be
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: aware that within the Declaration of Independence they outlined all
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: of the uses that they wanted to that were not addressed,
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: and the reason for breaking away from and declaring independence
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: that we were literally abused, We were denied the ability
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: to control our own destinies. We had the unreasonable searches
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: and seizures, people kicking indoors, general warrants, the taking away
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: of firearms, taxes without representation, on and on and on,
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: all of these things again erosions into our freedoms and liberties.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: Why don't they stress this to our young people in
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: school these days? So at least we have some understanding
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: about the importance of the freedoms that the Declaration of
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: Independence brought to light, and that we're confirmed in the Constitution.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 10: Yeah, exactly right. And it's not just our kids in
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 10: school that don't know it. But I had a not
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 10: bed a month ago or so in the Washington Times
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 10: where I point out that the Chief Justice in the
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 10: United States, John Roberts, doesn't even understand it. As you know,
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 10: at the end of every year he gives a State
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 10: of the Federal Judiciary report to Congress, and so in
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 10: December he dedicated it to the Declaration of Independence because
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 10: of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary at the moment,
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 10: and he said that the Declaration is just aspirational as
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 10: no role in legal interpretation and all of that, And
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 10: of course I think that's dead wrong. I explain why
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 10: he's wrong in my off ed, But Clarence Thomas knows
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 10: he's dead wrong. And so my book about Clarence Thomas,
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 10: that I'll also talk about a little bit tonight, explains
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 10: why Justice Thomas feels that the Declaration explains what.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: A quality means in America. All men are created equal.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 10: But that's different than what the left is trying to
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 10: do by shoving group rights theories down our throats. It's
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 10: an individual right. Every individual is entitled to the fruits
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 10: of his or her efforts and natural talents.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's no I mean, this is the difference
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: between you know that freedom loving people and opportunity loving people.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: In those who think that this somehow establishes a guarantee,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: like a government guarantee, that you are going to get
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: the happiness that you want to pursue that you I mean,
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: some might I think if I use the word bastardize
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: the language of the Constitution as well as Declaration of
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: Independence to suggest that it is government's obligation to create
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: some sort of equality among US citizens, most notably financial equality.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 10: Right, correct, it's not. We're supposed to be able, as
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 10: you pointed out, and as the language of the declaration
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 10: makes obvious, pursue our happiness. The government doesn't give us things,
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 10: doesn't give us happiness, but it's not supposed to take
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 10: away things from us either. And so if I work
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 10: hard than you, or you work harter than me, and
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 10: you're smarter than me, and all of that, you're entitled
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 10: to more than I am.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: Well, And of course it's smart people that I go
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: out and pursue and actually achieve that end up employing
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: the rest of us out here, or maybe not quite
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: capable of doing. It's got w two employee. I have
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: always been, and I think those who've gone before me,
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: who have provided employment opportunities for me throughout my life.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: You know, some can and some can't, and God bless
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: the people who can, and that they are not impeded
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: from doing so for the benefit of the entire country.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: Let us pivot over, because I know you're going to
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: mention it tonight in The Trafficker, which is your most
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: recent novel. Give me a little insight, because I understand
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: it takes place in Ohio.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I appreciate you bringing that up. I'll talk about
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 10: that tonight as well. It's the origins of it are
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 10: as you pointed out in the intro. I've been on
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 10: the Ohio Advisory Committee to the US Commission on Civil
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 10: Rights since two thousand and eight. That's a long time.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 10: And around twenty and fifteen we did an investigation and
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 10: a report on human trafficking in Ohio and I was
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 10: shocked what I learned and the testimony of one of
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 10: the witnesses, a woman who had been trafficked when she
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 10: was a child me and so I decided that I
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 10: was going to write a novel about it because I
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 10: thought that was the best way to reach people, to
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 10: reach them emotionally and to try to, you know, bring
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 10: this problem to light.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: It's shocking.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 10: Toledo is shockingly a hub of human trafficking in the
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 10: United States. Ohio is the second worst state in the
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 10: country for human trafficking, if you can believe such a thing,
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 10: you know, Yeah, A thousand a thousand children a year
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 10: in Ohio are trafficked for sex. Fifteen hundred and foreign
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 10: nationals are trafficked in Ohio every year for sex and
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 10: I venture to say that, you know, every week or two,
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 10: every one of us, when we're just walking around, going
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 10: into a restaurant, going into a motel, we see someone
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 10: being traffic and we just don't know it.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 10: And so January was National Human Trafficking Away Fareness Month,
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 10: and it's been that by decree of the President of
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 10: the United States since twenty ten. And so the novel
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 10: came out in mid January and it's illegal thriller and
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 10: luckily for me, so far the readers have not only
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 10: understood the substance of message I'm trying to tell them
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 10: the story, but have kindly mentioned that the pages keep
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 10: on turning, and so that's what that's what I'm trying
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 10: to do. But so my novels are page turners, but
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 10: I also want a substance of message in there.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: So, Scott Gerber, it is a work of fiction built
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: around the realities of the situation in the state of Ohio.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: Exactly exactly real quick?
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: Is it? This I seventy five Corridor is one of
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: the reasons why we're one of the most prominent states
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: for trafficking or is there some of the reason Ohio
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: has that nefarious label attached to it.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 10: And Toledo is it, you know, is a is a
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 10: hub of you know, the highways going out towards Fago
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 10: and then up Canada, then over to Pennsylvania, all all
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 10: of that.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, the horrors of that are just beyond just beyond
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: my capable understand capability of understanding tonight, Scott Gerber, it's
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: a log in only empower you America dot or just
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: register ahead of time. Seven o'clock is the star time.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: It's going to be fascinating, I guess Scott, considering you're
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: talking about the Declaration of Independence and as well as
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: a constitution in the history, you would probably welcome younger
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: people joining in the fun and logging into to the seminar.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You broke up a little bit.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: You're still there, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I just thinking it
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: sounds to me like some younger people.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yeah.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 10: As you pointed out, younger people aren't being taught enough
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 10: about the declaration, and this is the two hundred and
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 10: fiftieth anniversary, and so tonight is a good opportunity for
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 10: them to learn a little bit more about it in
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 10: detail and to learn about the connection between the declaration
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 10: and the Constitution and also to learn about how the
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 10: most senior justice on the US Supreme Court how he
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 10: feels about the.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: Decoration outstanding subject matter. Gather around seven pm to start
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: time Intpower Youamerica dot org. Scott, thanks for your time

• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: it's not cold. It was like, what is this?
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I loved it this morning. Walked out and turned around,
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: walked back in. Took my jacket off and didn't wear
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: one this morning because it was so pleasant out. And
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: the other thing being a dog lover and having to

  Speaker 1: free to come in and out. And thank god, no mud.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: The yard was dry. I've been wiping off dog feet now.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: It seems like forever.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: That's so true. Yeah, we lived near Park and boy,
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: yesterday it's got like seventy two yesterday and it's just
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: the place exploded with people and dods. I mean, it
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: was so beautiful to just see everybody out, kids playing sat.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah you mentioned the kids, because I'm driving up and
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: down the street last several days and the kids are
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: out on their bikes and mom and dad walking around
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: and doin. That really put a smile on my face
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: and like, yeah, things back to normal. Everybody's emerged from
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: their their hiding place, so good. I'm glad we started
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: on a real positive note and pivoting over. I was
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: fortunate yesterday Ohio State represented a DJ Sweringen, who's from
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: the Huron area, was on the program to talk about
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: his introduction of Holly's Law, which is to dress low
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: bonds here in the state of Ohio because we have
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: all these woke judges who are letting very very dangerous
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: people out who end up punching people like Holly in
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: the face. And we had Holly on as well. But
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: I was shocked and I was talking to my executive producer,
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: Joe Strecker about it. DJ Sweringen's coming on the program.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: We can't get anybody from Columbus, most notably local people
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: here in southwest Ohio, to come on the fifty five
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: KCSE Mornings to talk about matters impacting the state of
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: Ohio and all the local residents. Why in the hell
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: is that, I know that's your first top of your conversation.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: Why are they scared to talk to the media.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: You know, Brian something, you know it's just not you
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: that you're noticing this something major has changed because he
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: used to be able to get him on. They were
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: anxious to get on. But I think there's a couple
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: of things that play here. One is social media. You know.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: Now they think, well, I'll just post something on Facebook
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 2: and I'll only answer the questions I want to answer, right,
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: I'll block the people that ask inconvenient questions, you know.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: And and they don't even do as many town halls
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: as they used to. You know, they don't go on
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 2: the radio, they don't they they disappear. We elect them
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: and they disappear. I used to say to people all
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: the time, you couldn't find out what your Ohio House
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: or Senate members voting record was. Is your life dependent
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: on it? You really can't. How do you know how
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: you can't find out what bills are coming up? You
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: go on their website on the you know, the house
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: website or like that, and you can kind of see,
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: you know, the bills that are going through. But if
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: you want to say, well, is my you know, my
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: reps voting record conservative or are liberal or neutral? You
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 2: can you can find it because they do that at
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: the federal level, right Heritage, the NRA, you know, you know,
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 2: people like that do rankings at a federal level, but
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: the state level, we just don't have the tools. And
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: so if they don't come on the radio and talk
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 2: to you correct, do you know where they stand on anything?
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: That's a good point. And at least with social media,
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: they get to control the narrative on any given topic.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: They choose what topic they want to chime in on,
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: and while we out here might want to ask a
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: question about what do you plan on doing if, for example,
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: the Hiowan's vote to constitutionally amend the constitution to eradicate
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: property taxes, how do you think you're going to deal
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: with that? Or what is your feeling on property taxes?
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: These are questions I think a lot of us want
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: to get answered, most notably given that the ballot initiative
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: is being circulated. But if they don't want to talk
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: about it, hiding, not volunteering anything on it, they don't
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: have to.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: Well, and it's even worse. Okay, let's say this story
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: because this blew my mind. Think about this. We tell
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: our people call your representative rights, your representative right.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: Yes I do, and I've always right.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: I do it all the time, and it's important and
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: you have to do that. But they also we know
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: they'd never answered. You know, they don't you know, you
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: don't know how what they're you know, really how much
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: they're getting, how many of these emails or calls are getting.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 2: So one time, there's a really important bill going on
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: and the Weed of People Convention, we were going to
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: do a foya to get you know, all the representatives
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 2: in the US strips like House members to say, you know,
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 2: what has been the response, how many vocals have you
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: gotten for this issue. You can't foil them, You're not allowed.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: They don't have to tell you. They don't have to
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: tell you anything about what kind of response they're getting
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: from their members. And I thought, my goodness, where's representative government.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 2: How are we getting represented when they should have a
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 2: dashboard for every Ohio House member and Center member that says,
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 2: here's what the phone calls are, the letters that were
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: coming in or the you know, they have these little
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 2: web forms now about what issues and how many are
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: for it and how many it gets it so you
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: could see how much your representative votes against the will
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: of the people. It doesn't exist, Brian, in today's age
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: with AI and all the technology, why doesn't that exist
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: because they don't want you to know. That's why it
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: doesn't exist.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: Frightening stuff and a representative form of government. We're going
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: to continue with Tom Zawastowsko on this as well as, Uh,
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: why do you conservatives fail to show up in support
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: of an ICE rally? I know that it's something you
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: address in your podcast, which I'll recommend people check out.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: You got a brand new one every week. You can
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: find it. We the People Convention dot Org. What were
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: Tom Zawastowski after I mentioned people the talk station seven
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: fIF You've got KCD talk station Happy Tuesday. Of course
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: it being Tuesday, We're going to get the inside scoop
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: at bright Bart News, return to John Carne, the economics editor,
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: the economic impact of the war in Iran, as well
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: as the Daniel Davis Deep dive retired lieutenant colonel on
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: the situation in Iran in the meantime, We the People
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: Convention dot Org. Tom Zawastowski's on the program. Hey Tom,
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: real quick here. I have a conversation with Jack Windsor
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: from the High Press Network on Fridays, and I just
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: wanted to get your take before we pivot over to
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: the Ice situation. What is your take on the idea
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: that the Republican Party is endorsing candidates in advance of
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: the primary. I didn't really take a whole lot of
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: issue with the endorsement of Viva Ramaswami at the time,
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: and I kind of felt that they did that in
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: order to avoid having the expenditure of a primary when
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: he was so far ahead in the polling. I guess
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: they thought it was a foregone conclusion of why go
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: through the exercise and burn through limited resources and dollars.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: But it seems to become a growing phenomenon, and I
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: know it's rubbed a lot of people the wrong way,
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: most notably in connection with the Marcel Sturbage race. So
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: what's your take on that, Tom?
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: Well? Two things. First of all, generally the grassroots the
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: Tea Party, we've been absolutely against that. We feel we
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 2: should choose our candidates in the primary. That's the only
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: chance we get, and of course we never get to
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 2: do that. On the other side, I have to say
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 2: I literally read the charge for them to endorse with
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 2: ak Bramaswami. But that's what the reason you said, because
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 2: what I was trying to do with the Veke is.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 2: I felt that the Wine and those guys were kind
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 2: of set it up to have Jim Tressel run against
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 2: the Vekee because you could get a whole bunch of
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: Democrat football fans to vote in the Republican primary to
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 2: elect him, okay, And so I wanted them to endorse
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 2: the Veake to keep that from happening. And we were successful,
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: and that's why I did that. But that tells you
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: a lot about the party and the other way it is,
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 2: how rigged everything is right, So you're damned if you do,
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 2: you're damn if you don't. And so in the situation
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 2: we got, now you know they didn't. They endorsed in
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 2: the Sturbos race with Rob McCall and not recall with Sprague. Okay,
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 2: you know who's an income and he's in the house guy.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 2: He's a party guy, and Marcel's an outside guy. So
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 2: they endorsed in that race. But then you got jay
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 2: uh Jay Edwards running against Christina Rogner for treasurer. And
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 2: Jay Edwards one of the Blue twenty two. He's one
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: of the people who took the Democratic Union money not
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 2: to destroy our Republican super majority, and they wouldn't endorse
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 2: Christina Rogner against him because JD. Vance and Bernie Marino
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 2: are pushing Jay Edwards and you go, what the heck
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: is going on?
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 2: What is this really about? And it's about you know,
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: inside baseball, it's about money. I'm expecting that Jay Edwards
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: is going to be getting lots of money from outside groups,
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: and that worries me. Christina Rogner, Oh my gosh, I
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 2: don't know if you know her, if you've had her on,
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 2: If you haven't, please have her on. She is just
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: the most rock solid conservative you can possibly have. She's
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 2: from Ironicalay Hudson, Okay, and she's been a House member,
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: she's been a state senator now and she's running for treasure.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 2: She's really big in the life of in the pro
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 2: life knows Christina Rogner. I'm telling you, Christina Roger has
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 2: stood next to Tom Zawastowski in the freezing cold, holding
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 2: signs to fight for life, to fight for Donald Trump,
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 2: to fight for your conservative candidates. She has walked and
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: knocked doors. She's the real deal. They didn't endorse her.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 2: They said, well, we can't endorse in that race. That
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 2: scares the heck out of me.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: Well, you know that's kind of why I wanted to
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: wind you up and let you go on that one, Tom,
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: because you're expressing the frustrations that I hear regularly from
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: many listeners to the fifty five KC Morning Show. I've
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: always just sort of stood in wonder, how in the
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: hell is it in a red state like Ohio the
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: Republican Party can't collectively get its act together and work
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: for us, you know, lowering taxes or you know, improving
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: business conditions, reducing the regulatory burden, going after fraud, waste
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: and abuse, all red meat, core conservative in issues that
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: just seem to be ignored by the Republican Party generally speaking.
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 2: Well, so two things you know, which I don't know
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: if people may not remember, I actually ran to be
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: chairman of the Republican Party, like back in twenty ten,
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 2: all right, because it was so rigged that this is
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 2: when Matt Borgius was going to run to be the
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: chairman after Kasik one in a case of want to
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: take over the party, and he ran for chairman and
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 2: nobody else was running, and they said, well, nobody else
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 2: wants the job. I'm like, nobody in the state of
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 2: Ohio wants to be chairman of the Republican Party. But
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 2: this guy, and it pays like one hundred and forty
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars a year. So I ran. I ran, just
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 2: to challenge them. You wouldn't believe how corrupt it was.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: I mean literally, none of the sixty six state you know,
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 2: our central committee members would even talk to me on
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 2: the vote before the election. Okay, and I got seven votes,
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 2: But honest to guy, your people are gonna laugh. All
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 2: you guys drinking your copy out put it down. They
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: made everyone that came with me, the sixty six members
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 2: are going to vote, they made them sign in in
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 2: longhand inscursive, and then when they did the vote, they
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 2: made them write who they were voting for. They made
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 2: them write their names on a piece of paper because
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 2: they wanted to match the signatures to see who supported
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 2: me and who didn't so they could drive them out
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 2: of the party.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, not that, Johns.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 2: That was true. And I said, and I said to
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 2: the media, I said, if I were elected to be
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 2: chairman of the Higher Republican Party. The next day, their
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 2: chief financial officer we found floating dead in the Siota River,
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 2: and their headquarters we burned to the ground because they
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: would never want us to see their financial records because
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 2: of what they do in laundering money. That's how bad
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 2: it is, Brian. So it's a private country club and
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 2: if you want to play on their quarters, you got
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 2: to play by their rules. And so I know people
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: were frustrated, but that's why I wish more people would
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 2: run as independents and we wouldn't have to play these
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 2: stupid games.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: Tom Dalathaskana, you're also frustrated by conservatives not showing up
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: in supportive I we'll talk about that one more with
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 1: we the People Conventions. Tom's Awastowski. After I mentioned my
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: friends and they are at Foreign Exchange. In fact, for

  Speaker 1: UR News Economic repercussions of the bombing of iron A. Meantime,
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: Tom's Awastowski from We the People convention. One of the
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: topics you want to talk about this morning. I know
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: you addressed it in your podcast, lack of support from
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: conservatives for the ICE agents. What's the story on this one, Tom.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is an interesting story because it's it starts
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: with you radio guys, because you're so creative. We got
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 2: a guy up here in northeast Ohio named Bob France
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 2: who is on He's the top conservative radio host in
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 2: Cleveland area for eleven years until Salem Radio fired him
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 2: two weeks before Christmas about the warning. You know how
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 2: that goes. But anyway, he started a podcast called Strictly
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: Speaking and he calls me up one day and he goes,
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 2: I want to have an event to support ICE and
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 2: I go, wow, now, okay, he said, we do that
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: with me. Will you be with me? And I said sure.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 2: I said that sounds like a good idea. And then
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 2: he calls me a little water and he says, Tom,
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 2: you know, I have looked all over the internet. I
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 2: have looked searchs everywhere I can go. I can't find
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 2: another event in the country. Where anybody stood with life,
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 2: where anybody did a fundraiser for ICE. And I was
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 2: shocked by that. And so we had an event on
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: Friday night and you mentioned Jack Windsor. Our good friend
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 2: Jack Vindsor was going to be one of the speakers.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: And we had a guy named Peter Curseon and I
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 2: was a civil rights attorney, and then Bob and myself
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 2: and our Sheriff Zukowski from Porge County, who's awesome, and
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 2: we had a great event. We had hundreds of people
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 2: show up, they donated, We were raised money for the
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 2: It's called the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, which provides
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 2: like help for the families, help provide suicide prevention for
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 2: federal officers, and just for helpful the health and wellness
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 2: of their families. Because after what's going on with Ice,
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 2: can you imagine how bad that is. And we had
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 2: an event where we just talked about stand with Ice,
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 2: and my section my five minutes speech, I said, why
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 2: do we have to stand with Ice? Because Ice represents
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 2: our country, meaning the United States is about being ruled
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: by law and not men and women. It's about equal
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 2: enforcement of the law. And without Ice, we don't have
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 2: a country, they have to deport the illegals because that's
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 2: what the rule of law means. And we as conservatives
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 2: need to understand that supporting ICE is supporting ourselves, our constitution,
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 2: and the American way of life. And if you just
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 2: throw them to the wolves, if you just end Ice,
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 2: you just ended America. So we stood with Ice, and
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 2: we're very proud of that. And if you go to
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 2: We the People Convention dot org, you'll see a button
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 2: for the podcast, and as you mentioned, the first three
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 2: minutes of the podcast, I explain why we should stand
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 2: with Ice, and then there's a link that you can
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 2: buy a t shirt that says ICE Stand with Ice
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 2: for twenty five dollars and if you buy a t shirt,
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 2: that money will go towards the Central Law Enforcement Officers
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 2: Association to help them keep ICE going. Because ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 2: we got to stand with Ice. They are holding our
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 2: country together and enforcing the law. No matter what the
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 2: Dems tell you, they're on our side, and we got
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 2: to be.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: On their side well and learn from other's mistakes. The
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 1: cautionary tale that's unfolding in Western Europe should be a
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: real wake up call for the United States, and I
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: think Donald Trump one of the reasons for the crackdown
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: is exactly that Joe Biden's open borders led twenty or
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: so million people in including eighteen thousand no own got aways,
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: many of whom are concerned that those might be terrorist
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 1: cells or terrorist operatives. That's certainly a possibility, but just
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: the erosion of culture. Generally speaking, in the old days,
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: we used to have assimilation and kind of the reason
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: it's difficult to become a citizen is because you've got
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: to go through a bunch of hoops and hurdles about
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: learning about nations history and a move towards assimilation that
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: is not occurring when you have open borders. And clearly
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: we can see that with the results going on, like
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 1: in Minneapolis, for example, in other communities that seem to
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 1: isolate themselves and have nothing to want to do with
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: the American culture or way of life.
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 2: Well, that's true. And while you know, people some people
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 2: don't like the tactics and all that, you know, my
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 2: point is how easy could it be to say to
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 2: fifteen million people, you're here illegal. You got to give out.
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 2: And I just think it's disgusting that the Democrats and
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 2: President Trump and Stay Millner's guys at a fabuloshop as
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 2: a state of union, do you stand with the American people?
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 2: And you stand with ewigual Alias and the Democrats sat
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 2: on their our hands and said, we support illegals. That's
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 2: the problem. Donald Trump is fixing it and we have
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 2: to support Ice because they're the ones that have to
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 2: get the job done.
• 1:35:10

  Speaker 1: wishing everyone a very happy Tuesday. I was reminding you
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: this time of the week we always could hear from
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 1: bright Bart News to call it the Inside Scoop, and
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: I always start by recommending bright bart dot com be

  Speaker 1: r E I T B A r T dot com
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: outstanding reporting in depth and very informative and reliable reporting
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: and you get to read stuff like from John Carney,
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: the economics editor. It's a great heaving and back on
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: the program, John Carney, welcome back to the Morning Show.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: Good to have you on as always.
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 4: Is he there?
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 2: Thank you, yes, sure, thanks for having me.
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: I know it's always good heaving you on. John. So
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: the economic impact, everybody's pulling their hair out. Oh my god,
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: the Strait of Horror Moves is shut down. Obviously, oil
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: has impacted. Twenty percent of the world's consumption goes through
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: the Strait of horror Moves. We've been down this road before, John,
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: We've had the Straight of Hormuves shut down. We've also
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: experienced massive increases in very short periods of time, like
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: when Russia invaded Ukraine. Actually the price of gas increased
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: more during that episode that passed as well. I can
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: only guess the Strait of horror Moves is going to
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: open back up and then we'll get some relief. And
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: I brought this up earlier this morning, John. The Democrats
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: are screaming bloody murder about Donald Trump causing the price
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: of gas go up and causing all this economic disruption
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: with the Straight of Horror moves being shut down. So
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: it's Donald Trump's fault, but they ignore the reality that
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: they want the price of gasoleen to go up. It's
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 1: their economic policies, the Green agenda by legislation, not active war,
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: temporary as that may be permanent, embodiment of getting rid
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: of fossil fuels, elimination of plant food from the environment,
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: and you know number one goal for the left. It's
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: okay when they do it, but it's not okay if
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: it happens as a consequence of war. John, can you
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: make sense of this formation?
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 11: You're absolutely right that they have for years actually wanted
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 11: gasoline prices to go up. They want oil prices to
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 11: be higher because they want to discourage the consumption of
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 11: those things and make renewable energy cheaper relatively. So this
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 11: is one reason that they actually in states like California
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 11: where they have very high gas taxes, the intention is
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 11: to raise the price of gasoline. So you're right about that,
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 11: and we have had this straight up.
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: Her moves closed.
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 11: But I don't want to underplay this. It is a
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 11: cost to the economy when you get gasoline prices very high.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 11: That leaves people with less money to spend on other
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 11: parts of the economy. They eat out less. They know
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 11: there's there's less vacation planning. If gasoline prices are high
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 11: going into the summer, there will be fewer road trips
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 11: or souter road trips. That's a problem. However, we're already
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 11: seeing gas prices come down. They went really high over
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 11: the weekend. They were up Brent crue, the international standard,
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 11: was up near one hundred and ten dollars a barrel.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 11: This morning it's down here ninety. Yesterday it got all
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 11: the way down into the low eighties. So I don't
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 11: think that the and if you look at the futures market,
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 11: it's telling you that even those prices aren't expected to last.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 2: That if you when you can buy a.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 11: Futures contract that allows you to buy oil a year
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 11: from now, and that is much cheaper than the futures
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 11: contract that allows you to buy oil a month from now,
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 11: what that's telling you is that smart investors think that
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 11: this spike in oil prices is going to be a spike,
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 11: meaning you go up and then you come down rapidly
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 11: as well.
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and again we've been down this road before. This
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: happens all the time. But that the even some Republicans
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: are worried about the November election. And that's the other thing,
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: you know, on this whole climate thing. You know, we
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: go in to the remember of election worried about the
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: price of guestling being high. And you know, I understand
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: inflation has been a problem, but you know, let's face it,
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: the Biden administration unleashed trillions of dollars in the American economy,
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 1: had a massive inflationary effect. Nobody points the Democrats for that.
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: Why are the prices high? Joe Biden and his COVID
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: money among others. Then the climate policies themselves cost the
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: price of everything energy wise to go up. There's no
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 1: recollection of that. Is this the mainstream media's coordinated effort
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: to like do people into thinking this is somehow literally
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: the Republican's fault, not the Democrats. And the other puzzling
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: phenomenon is, John, if you're angry with the current economic situation,
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: you can't appreciate that. Do you really want to vote
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: in Democrats who are full on socialists slash you know,
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 1: democrats socialist class outright socialists and all all the policies
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: that go along with it, like men playing against women
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 1: in sports and every other crazy policy they've come up with.
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: I just can't believe rational people would view this momentary
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: problem and pursue that long term path that Democrats will
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 1: most assuredly put in place.
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 11: Look, I would say that every Republican should be reminding
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 11: voters exactly what you just said, which is that Democrats
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 11: actually want higher gasoline prices. They are not in favor
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 11: of cheap fossil fuels. They would like us to not
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 11: be able to use them at all, and the path
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 11: to getting us off using them is to make it
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 11: so expensive that we don't. However, people do have short
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 11: term memories, and you're absolutely right. The legacy media discovered
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 11: the idea of affordability the day Donald Trump was elected.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 11: Until then, they kept telling us that inflation wasn't a
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 11: real problem, it wasn't a big deal, it was all
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 11: going away, and it had gotten much better.
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 10: All of that.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 11: Donald Trump gets elected and suddenly we're in an affordability crisis.
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 11: This is completely manufactured. We are about to see later
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 11: this week, actually tomorrow, we will get inflation numbers that
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 11: are expected to be the lowest year over year inflation
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 11: numbers in five years. So where's the affordability crisis? We're
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 11: actually and at the same time, we have wages that
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 11: are rising much faster than inflation, so things are actually
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 11: becoming more affordable. You're not going to see that anywhere
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 11: except on Breitbart, on your show, or on the bright
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 11: Part Business Digest, which is an email we send out.
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 11: Everybody can subscribe, but it's going to get ignored. I
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 11: guarantee you you will not see a headline in the
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 11: New York Times saying affordability crisis over.
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 2: It will never be over as long as Donald Trump
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 2: is president.
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 1: As president well, and then the other factor is and
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: we have not okay, like every administration, it takes time
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: to get the policies in place and for them to work.
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: We have the one big, beautiful bill which is now
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 1: in effect, and that's going to probably bring some even
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: more significant economic positives in the markets. That's going to
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 1: take a little time, though, to grow roots and bear fruit.
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: And do you think that's going to happen for November.
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 11: Actually, we're going to start to see some of the
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 11: very direct effects of that in the next couple of months.
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 11: Peoples are going people are getting much higher refunds because
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 11: they have had tax cuts, so they paid taxes under
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 11: the old Biden regime, but the refunds are actually many
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 11: of them retroactive, so they are going to get better
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 11: refunds than they were used to. And then going forward,
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 11: they're actually going to have less money taken out of
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 11: their paychecks because we have no tax on tips, no
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 11: tax on overtime, no tax on extra income under Social Security.
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 11: This is going to put more more money into people's pockets.
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 11: They're going to be able to save more, they're going
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 11: to be able to affward more. And this is not
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 11: like unlike a stimulus check, which tends to be a
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 11: bit inflationary, because if you're a business and you see
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 11: a huge, you know, of demand due to a stimulus check,
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 11: you don't go ahead and expand operations because you know
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 11: that's just a temporary, temporary high. What you really want
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 11: to do is make it permanent, and that's what the
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 11: tax cuts do, so businesses can actually expand supply to
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 11: match the increased demand, so it won't be inflationary's and
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 11: I think we're going to see that in the next
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 11: coming months. I also think we're going to see gasoline
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 11: prices come down. They've gone up because of what's happening
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 11: in the Strait for moves. That is not a permanent problem, however,
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 11: and I do think by the summer that will be
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 11: resolved and we will oil prices will come down, gasoline
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 11: prices will come down, and people will be This will
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 11: be a a memory rather than a current problem by.
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: The time we get to November, except for places like
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 1: the state of California, where the regulatory burden has imposed
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: the reality that the gas prices are never going to
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: come down. Sorry, I keep pivoting back to that, but yeah,
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: we're going to be back let's say two dollars gallon gasoline,
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 1: hopefully if we were there just a moment in time ago,
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 1: temporary disruption, back to status quo. But then we get
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: this constant reminder. It's like the cautionary tale. Don't go
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: down that road because we don't want to pay five
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: bucks for gasoline. Don't do what California did, going back
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 1: to these policies pursued by Democrats.
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 11: That's right, it's terrible in California. I'll also say it's
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 11: a problem beyond California because there's no pipeline that goes
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 11: to the West coast, so we produce a ton of
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 11: oil in the middle of America, whether it's the Dakotas
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 11: or Oklahoma or Texas, and yet we have no pipeline
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 11: that goes west because the environmental extremists will not allow
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 11: us to. They fight any proposal. In fact, it's so
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 11: bad that people don't even propose building a pipeline. So
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 11: what that means is that oil comes down into the
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 11: Gulf gets to the rest of America, the East coast,
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 11: the Midwest. American oil can get to the rest of America,
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 11: it can't get to the west coast because we have
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 11: no west coast pipeline we need. It's a little like
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 11: remember when we obviously we don't remember this, but you
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 11: remember in history class we learned about the trans Continental
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 11: Railroad and how important that was to creating a national economy.
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 11: We have no trans continental pipeline and so California, Oregon,
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 11: Portland are sort of on their own when it comes
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 11: to oil. They have to they actually get it from
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 11: places like the Middle East, because otherwise you have to
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 11: go all the way around America or through the Panama
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 11: cat Now it's it's not really practical.
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 2: So what we need is to stop that.
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 11: A lot and Republicans I think could actually score a
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 11: victory in California if they ran on pushing for a
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 11: trans continental pipeline.
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 1: I think that's an outstanding idea. But instead of doing
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: something like that, which would make life better for all Californians,
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: they're at least going to get their high speed rail project.
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 1: John Carney, don't you think that represents a bit of
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 1: an environmental problem too, because I would think you're doing
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 1: comparable activities to build a railroad that you would for
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 1: a pipeline.
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 2: Right, Well, they sold problems.
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 11: They solved that problem by never actually building a railroad,
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 11: right They build one mile of it. You're okay, right,
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 11: so that's all they ever get.
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 1: But I guess quickly, John Carni another is this another
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 1: self inflicted wound? Has this idea of actually bringing natural
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 1: gas to the state of California by way of a
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 1: pipeline system? Has that been proposed and rejected? Or is
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 1: it no one ever stepped up to the plate and say, hey,
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 1: how about that continental railway. There's an idea that we
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 1: might want to put in place by way of pipeline.
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 11: People have tried to propose it. The problem is they
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 11: know how it's going to go. We barely succeed in
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 11: building a pipeline even to you know the you know
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 11: up to Canada, a northwest pipeline or sorry, a north
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 11: south pipeline Excel, so the the you know, the these
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 11: things are expensive and people aren't really thinking, well, you know,
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 11: it's probably worth my time to spend twenty five years
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 11: in litigation to build a pipeline that you know, and frankly,
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 11: I've talked to people who have thought about this and
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 11: they're afraid of environmental terrorism as well. You not only
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 11: have to you know, finally get legal permission into it,
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 11: you don't have to put armed guards around it because
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 11: the echo extremists will try to blow it up.
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 1: They're going to put armed guards around the railroad to
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 1: keep people from causing train d the araunments, John Carney,
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 1: for terrorism purposes.
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 11: You know, they did, indeed have to in the in
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 11: the nineteenth century have armed guards to guard the railroads
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 11: because there were you know, criminals, bandits who you know
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 11: very famously, right we all know the train robbers.
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 1: Well, I would is indeed, what could happen, John Carny,
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 1: I would suggest that if we didn't engage in any
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 1: activity because something might happen. Criminally, we would never have
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 1: advanced past the Stone Age. That's a good point, John Carney,
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 1: A good point. Go ahead.
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 2: I think that.
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 11: We really I think as we become a more energy abundant,
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 11: more energy dominant country, it will inevitably happens.
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 2: It makes too much sense.
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 11: So it's going to happen.
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 2: But we but we really do have.
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 11: But frankly, Republicans have to get bolder about this and
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 11: pointed out if they will not do that, it will
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 11: never make progress.
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 1: California, help us, help you, help us, save you from yourself,
• 1:48:54

  Speaker 1: Welcome back, my friend. It's always a pleasure to have
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 1: you on the fifty five KRC Morning Show. Look forward
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 1: to this every week. Brian, good to see you. I'm
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 1: glad you do. It's a very interesting conversation. You certainly
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 1: reveal a lot of aspects that maybe most of us
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 1: aren't really considering considering your military background. Well, lo and behold, Wow,
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 1: the price of gasoline goes up because the strait of
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 1: horror moves is closed. We've been through this road, down
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 1: this road before, We've had this problem before. We always
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 1: manage to come out the other side. You just got
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 1: to wait for it. The question is how long it's
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 1: gonna be before the straight of horror moves gets opened?
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 1: So let's start there. I I would. I don't know
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 1: what your perception is, but it appears as though the
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 1: military operations launched by the Israelis and the United States
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 1: forces are having a profound impact degrading the Iranians military.
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 1: Most notably, you can tell by the far fewer number
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 1: of missile strikes coming out of Iran, although I imagine
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 1: they've kept their powder dry on some battles of missiles
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 1: because the strait of horror moves is still closed and
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 1: it's obviously not clear to sail through. What is the
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 1: next step to getting the strait of horror moves open?
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 1: Daniel Davis? And if you had the tea leaves, how
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 1: long do you think it's going to be before that
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 1: can happen. That is the number one thing that's on
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 1: President Trump's mind. He spoke about that last not just
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 1: moments ago, right before I came on here, there was
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of press conference from the Pentagon where Secretary
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 1: of War hex Seth and the Chairman of the Joint
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 1: Chiefs of Staff Dan Kine, we're talking about that as well,
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 1: and they are focused on getting rid of the Iranian
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 1: drone missile and navy capacity. And you can understand that
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: that's one of the primary drivers because this is obviously
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 1: a global issue, you and it's driving the process for
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 1: oil and gasoline, not just for the United States, but
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 1: then of course that has a knock on effect to
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 1: the economies everywhere because everything depends on that. Obviously, the
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 1: problem is, though whatever number they say that we have
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 1: reduced their amount of missiles and drones.
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 6: It is at some kind of a sustained rate, and
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 6: that was expected from the beginning. A lot of it
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 6: is due to because of the significant attrition that we've
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 6: done on their launchers and other facilities, there's no question
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 6: about that. But it's also clear that Iran foresaw this
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 6: for decades. They knew exactly what was going to happen
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 6: to them, and they are prepared for it. And by
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 6: that I mean that they have dispersed launch capabilities throughout
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 6: the country. It's not even one or two central locations.
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 6: It is literally all kinds of places under the ground,
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 6: and they have to sustain a rate of fire. They
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 6: can't have this big blast that they had at the
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 6: beginning all the way through any more than we can.
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 6: We had this big shock and all kinds of thing
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 6: at the beginning, and now we also have to have
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 6: a sustained rate to be able to take this out
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 6: over time. So we can't read too much into that.
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 6: Like you know, it's down nine eight percent, so it's
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 6: almost out and soon it'll be done. This is an
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 6: issue to where they could be sustaining this for a
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 6: very long time, and so far I don't see anything
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 6: to answer your question directly, I don't see anything that's
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 6: going to say that the trade is going to be
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 6: open anytime soon. As a matter of fact, this morning
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 6: I saw again reports on Bloomberg that another oil tanker
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 6: has been hit in the Persian Gulf and giving every
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 6: evidence that of course these shots on the bow. All
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 6: they got to do is hit one or two periodically,
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 6: and it's going to keep all the rest of them
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 6: anchored and not driving in or out of the gulf.
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 1: That's having a huge.
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 6: Effect on the oil price too, because Kuwait announced yesterday
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 6: that they have started reducing their production and soon they're
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 6: gonna have to stop it completely because they don't have
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 6: the storage capacity. They have to offload this into ships.
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 6: That's the system is designed that way, not to store
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 6: stuff up. So now then they're running out of storage capacity,
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 6: and they're the first of others, and pretty soon you're
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 6: gonna have a shutdown of production, not just the ship's
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 6: going through.
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 1: So this is a big issue. Yeah, hard lesson to
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 1: learn for the Kui eighties. Maybe they want to start
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 1: put some money into storage capacity, but I mean, this
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 1: is a global impact that it's having. I mean, and
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 1: we are an independent producer of our own oil and
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 1: we could live off ours, but as a global commodity.
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 1: So while the globe is being impacted by this, the
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 1: wrath of the world I would think potentially could be
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 1: drawn against the Iranians. I know, the multiple surrounding Arab nations.
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 1: They keep getting these limited Iranian missiles launched at them.
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know what strategy the Iranians think they're trying
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 1: to accomplish, but you would think that at least among
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 1: the local Arab community might not want to irk them,
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 1: because that's going to maybe push them toward the United
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 1: States side of the equation, maybe entering the Abraham Accords
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 1: and looking at the Iranian situations, like, you know, what
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 1: we're done with Iran. If they weren't here, we wouldn't
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 1: have this problem. Let's move on. So why not take
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 1: the side of the United States. Anything to that.
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 6: Well, some people may think that, and some people go
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 6: down that path, but there are a great many voices
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 6: in the Middle East and around the world that say,
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 6: it's not Irani's the problem, it's the US and Israel.
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 6: Because if they had to launch this war of choice,
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 6: which was not needed, nothing there was no imminent threat
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 6: from anyone, there would be no problem with his two.
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 6: So that is why the Iranians have calculated, and it's
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 6: a gamble, but they have calculated that instead of having
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 6: the effect you just described, the effect will instead be
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 6: on the US and Israel to come to an agreement
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 6: to say, listen, all you've got to do is stop
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 6: this war and they'll stop shooting us, and then we
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 6: can get back to making money. That's what they want
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 6: to do. Of course, around the world, the message from
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 6: the Iranians is having some residents because they're saying we
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 6: wanted to have a negotiated settlement. We were in a
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 6: negotiated for the second time in two years, and then
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 6: the Americans attacked us anyway, making us look bad. Hitting
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 6: that girls school with the very first shot out of
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 6: the bag didn't look good at all and has caused
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 6: a lot of negative side for US. So there's pressure
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 6: on President Trump all over all over the map. And
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 6: then you have the military issue that we've hit now
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 6: this is day eleven. We've hit them with all kinds
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 6: of stuff and we've destroyed, you know, most of their navy,
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 6: their air force, air defense, a bunch of stuff. But
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 6: we can't knock their government out. In a country that's
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 6: four times bigger than a rock, you can't bomb it
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 6: into submission, I mean, like literally destroy it. All they
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 6: have to do is endure and keep fighting, and then
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 6: we can't go on forever like this. President Trump's already
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 6: running into some real problems with our inventories of the
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 6: key weapon systems, and this has a near term clock
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 6: on it that's not on our favor right now. Well,
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 6: it was one of the things I wanted to ask you.
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 1: I suppose in no Military Strategists is Brian Thomas Daniel Davis,
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 1: as we have you on. You go after the immediate
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 1: threat targets, the immediate launch targets, the ones where you
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 1: know that there are concentrated batteries of rockets that can
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 1: launch any minute. You go after the Air Force, You
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 1: go after the Navy targets that you know may be
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 1: able to launch offensive operations against the United States or Israel.
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 1: If you get rid of those, then you have time
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 1: to go in and maybe find those hard rder targets,
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 1: figure out where those bunkers are because they've already started
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 1: using conventional bombs. I mean, you don't need a laser
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 1: guided multi million dollar rocket in order to hit a target.
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 1: If you can drop a conventional bomb on it, is
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 1: that the next phase we are in warfare. Daniel Davis Well.
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 6: Well, and then that has dropping these conventional bombs means
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 6: that you're running low with h Gota munitions sure, and
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 6: the bombs aren't as accurate either. So you've got a
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 6: double problem there because we need those precision weapons to
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 6: be able to hit pinpoint targets when we need them.
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 6: But here's the thing that too of you understand. The
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 6: Iranian Navy, the Iranian Air Force was no threat to
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 6: anyone anyway, So you've taken a lot of it out,
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 6: But where are you that you weren't before. Already they
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 6: didn't have the ability to project power. Those were only
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 6: for coastal defenses, which now are purfluous to us. It
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 6: doesn't make any difference. But the issue is you have
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 6: to get a political success military power with this unquestioned
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 6: overwhelmingly in our favor, But that doesn't necessarily translate into
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 6: a political out because we have set unconditional surrender on
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 6: the political entity inside Tehran. That means you have to
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 6: either completely destroy them or you've got to go in
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 6: on the ground to compel compliance. We don't even have
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 6: a ground force, so that's not a legitimate option anytime
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 6: in the foreseeable future, no matter what people are saying.
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 6: And so that means that you have to try and
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 6: bomb them into the stone age. But we don't have
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 6: that many bombs, and the country is so spread out.
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 6: I can't reinforce this enough.
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 1: It's too big.
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 7: You just can't do it.
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 1: So we're in a real pickle right now. Two point
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 1: four times the size of Texas. That is not a
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 1: small piece of real estate. I acknowledge that.
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 6: And because then you ad on top of that, it's
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 6: also the geography because it's mountainous like most of Afghanistan was,
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 6: and that helps the defender and it makes it even
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 6: more difficult to bring bombs to beer.
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 1: Very briefly, you mentioned the one hundred and fifty school
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 1: children plus or minus that was allegedly hit by an
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 1: American missile. A lot of internet circulating that no, that
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 1: was in Iranian missile. I don't know if you've seen
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 1: the arguments that it was not a United States munition
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 1: that did it. Do we really truly know? I mean,
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 1: we've had reports like this in the past. You know,
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 1: oh my god, all these civilians were killed in as
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 1: it turns out, no, actually that wasn't the United States,
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 1: it was someone else. No, it didn't hit a hospital,
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 1: It went into a parking lot. Are we in one
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 1: of those situations or do we definitively know that that
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 1: was the United States missile?
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 6: You know, the fog of war is always going to
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 6: be kind of cloudy. But by the evidence we have,
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 6: it looks pretty conclusively that it was us. Not only
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 6: do you have the picture of the cruise missile that
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 6: hit it, you also have the whole target array and
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 6: the whole area was our missile that was on our
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 6: target list we published it. It shows that that's what
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 6: we struck. So the question is was it an errant missile?
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 6: Did the missile hit the wrong building not where it
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 6: was fired at, or did we have an errant targeting
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 6: that we thought that was a military target not realizing
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 6: that it was a school or something like that.
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 1: That seems to be the question.
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 6: But it doesn't look like it's one of those mistakes
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 6: or those things that it wasn't really us, or that
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 6: it was Iran. That doesn't mean any sense whatsoever that
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 6: they somehow would know in the opening rounds to fire
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 6: a missile that looks like a tomahawk in the middle
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 6: of one of our attacks, because you see there's a
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 6: bunch of shots that hit. There's there's pretty little doubt
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 6: that it was it was.
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 1: We fired it. I know a lot of the maybe
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 1: the outcome of the war may be predicated on whether
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 1: or not the Iranian citizenry rises up and overthrows the regime.
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 1: But I've read several reports on this, and it makes
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 1: perfect sense we should temper our expectations in that regard
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 1: because we really don't know how many of the potential
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 1: revolutionaries there are, and that our cultural intelligence, you know,
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 1: the mood of the bulk of the population isn't very precise.
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 1: We don't know the true numbers of dissidant populations. So
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 1: and the idea that, you know, the citizenry who's been
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 1: blocked out from communications, they can't communicate with each other
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 1: organizing and rising up, that's a minimum I mean under
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 1: statement to say that's a tough road to hoe. So
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 1: we have no concept of what actually might happen. It
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 1: should I mean in terms.
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 6: Of yeah, that was the hope from the beginning, and
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 6: I saw a couple of generals on US television yesterday
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 6: still hoping that maybe they can.
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 1: Get local help. Local boots on the.
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 6: Ground is the term they used, because we don't have one.
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 6: But everything that I have seen so far, in frankly
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 6: common sense, says that a country, they they have some
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 6: serious disagreements inside their country, but if you start pummeling
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 6: them with one of their historic enemies Israel, and then
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 6: the United States, and then they just are crushing that
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 6: country left and right and destroying everything. I mean, civilian targets.
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 6: Tehran was on fire over the weekend, their hairports being destroyed,
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 6: et cetera. The idea that we're going to get them
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 6: to then rise up on our behalf against that government
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 6: is really unlikely. And what this has done, and this
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 6: is not surprising. I think you and I talked about
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 6: this as a potential beforehand. You get the rally around
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 6: the flag galvanizing, and now then they've assassinated their leader.
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 6: Those kids were killed in regardless of who it may
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 6: have been behind it or what the reason was, it
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 6: is guaranteed on the iranium viewpoint.
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 1: That it was on our side and we killed them.
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 6: And so they're for now they're even more solidified behind
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 6: it because they're not going to join the side that
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 6: did that. So that has backfired in my view. And
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 6: I've talked to people on the ground, by the way,
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 6: who were in those protests in January, two separate ones,
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 6: and I've read some other stuff from others who were
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 6: in this situation, and they all say, we hate the regime,
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 6: but there's no way we're going to turn against it
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 6: for you when you're coming in to destroying our country.
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 1: So I think there is no legitimate process for that
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 1: going forward. We need to understand that, and we need
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 1: to understand that. Daniel Davis and I I'm certain, sad
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 1: as it may be, will continue to talk about this
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 1: next Tuesday on another edition of the Daniel Davis Deeve Dive.
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 1: Daniel Davis, always a pleasure speaking with you, and I'll

• 2:01:41
