  Speaker 1: I had no idea what was Yeah, it's kind of

  Speaker 1: feeling yesterday. I appreciate that, Joe Jeker a little SoundBite
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: there from Tally Joe Streker executives. So the fifty five
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Carsy Morning Show. My name is Brian Thomas, the host
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: of the fifty five KRSE Morning Show, and apologies everybody
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: would try to stream yesterday the iHeartMedia server crash. This
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: was a nationwide thing. Everybody, well, all the iHeart Media
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: stations seven hundred or however many of the company earns,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: none of them were apparently working. Although west Side Jim
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Keeper seemed to suggest that WLW was actually streaming, and
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: we checked that yesterday morning, Jim, and it wasn't working either.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I went to the Joe's production booth this morning.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Is that?
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Is it working this morning?
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Is that?
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Hang on? I'm checking right now and yes, so hopefully
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Joe's right. And apologies nobody who tried to log in
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: all the content there is on the fifty five KRC
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Morning Show. I judged out on Topolitano. We had the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: celebration of the sixty years of the VFW Memorial Team.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: What a great group of guys veterans that show up
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: and provide a service for military folks who well passed away,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: give a little closure to the families and honoring their
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: service for and commitment to our country. They could use
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: some help. And they thoroughly enjoy the work that they're doing,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: not that they viewed as work, but it's just a
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: beautiful thing. Like two hundred and thirty services a year,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: so you consider the sometimes they're doubling and tripling up
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: on the weekends, but they do a great job. So
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: learn about that and joining the fun AFPs on Americans
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: for Prosperity, Donovan Neil and High's Nuclear Roundtable, and of
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: course Jack Atherton. They can listen to what Jack had
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: to say about Aron's roach motel plus Daniel Davis Deep
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Dive from Tuesday It's all there at fifty five care
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Se dot Com. Coming up in the morning show Congressman
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Warren Davidson at seven oh five. Good timing for that, well,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: it's always great timing you have Congressman Davidson on the show.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Notably since the GOP yes blocked another effort to shut
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: down the war and pull the plug on it. Democrats
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: sponsored Warpowers resolution that would have prohibited Trump from continuing
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the military operations against Iron. It's the fifth time that
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: has been shot down, forty six to fifty one in
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: the Senate, defeating the motion to discharge from the Senate
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: for Relations Committee only one. Who's the guy that and
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the Republican side they had voted to, Yeah, Senator Ran
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Paul kind of expecting that John Feedomo, the Democrats side
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: broke ranks and voted against the resolution. So the resolution
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: ultimately shot down. Question for anybody out there who's trying
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: to keep track on this, and I am, you know,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I believe in the constitution of what it says. I
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: know there's war powers resolution out there. We've talked about
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: it a lot. This sixty days plus thirty days and
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: then you got to get out have some authorization to
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: use military force once the clock starts running. Is the
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: clock even running? That's what the vote was for the
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: other day. So we don't have an authorization for use
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: a military force, one that defines the scope of the conflict,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: you know, like fighting terrorism or something like the ninety
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: one I think it was the ninety one authorization use
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the military force that allowed us to continue to fight
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: terrorists for the next two decades or something. So anyway,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: some definitionally defined scope, Okay, you can use military force
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: within these parameters. There will be an authorization for use
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: military force that wasn't passed. There's been no declaration of war.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: So this seems to me to put us in a
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: state of limbo, no authorization, no war, and yet it
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: continues to go on. I suppose that some juncture this
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: may be dealt with through the power of the purse.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: It kind of puts us in a sort of a
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Vietnam situation where it just slowly escalated and escalated and escalated,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: and you wonder, after twenty years, like, how the hell
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: are we still here? It used to be just a
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: handful of CIA advisors and now we've got three hundred
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: thousand troops in country. Never an authorization fuse military first,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: of course, because the War Powers Resolution mustn't passed until
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three. Why because of the Vietnam War. Fast
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: forward quite a few decades, and I'm I can't make
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: heads or tails about legally where we are. Clearly we
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: are in the middle of a conflict which has yes
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: turned into this battle of attrition or the Battle of
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Attrician is ongoing. Straight to horror. Moves is closed. Iranians
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: are going after some ships and I scratched my head
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: over that. Three container ships yesterday or three ships generally speaking,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: attacked by the Iranians. The Greek owned Liberian flag container
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: ship reporting heavy damage after coming under fire from a
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Revolutionary Guard gunboat. Notice the emphasis on gunboats. Second cargo
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: ship came under fire for a west of Iran a gunboat.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Third ship came under attack waiting to cross into the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Gulf of Oman. Some of these ships. Apparently the Court
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: of the Revolutionary Guard, IFHO believe what they have to
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: write on acts, confiscated the vessels and brought them over
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: to Iran shore. So whatever their current state, less important
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: than the gunboats. Now, if you listen to Daniel Davis
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Deep Dive every Tuesday here in the fifty five CARC
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: morning shows, asking about that because Donald Trump and many
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: many folks, you know, Chairman of the War Department coming
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: out and saying the Iran navy has been completely eradicated.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: It's been eliminated. They don't have a navy anymore. Said
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the same thing about the air power, although they didn't
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: ever have much of an air force. Daniel Davis was
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: pointing out, retired Lieutenant colonel listened, they've got all these
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: boats that we can't account for. You can say the
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: main military hardware, the larger boats, the navy boats, maybe
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: destroyers or those kind of sized vessels might have been
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: blown up. But there's this huge fleet of these tiny
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: mosquito boats that apparently is having an impact. So I
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: guess we have a little bit more work to do
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: cleaning up the existence of these little mosquito boats. They
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: got a lot of them, hundreds of what they call
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: small fast attack boats that yes can and just did yesterday,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: threatn commercial shipping so stuck, and it's getting worse in
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: terms of the long term scenario. If this thing remains
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: shut down, this thing to golf, the strait remains shut down.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Of course, oil prices are going to continue to go up.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: It may get worse. There's lots of folks that have
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: been asked about this, you know, folks in the know
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: and that study these things. You got ten million barrels
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: of oil a day as well as other patroleum products,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: about ten percent of the entire global supply stuck, and
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: this is resulting in industries having to shut down. They're
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: calling it demand destructions and economic can a term for
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: when businesses and consumers are forced to cut back to
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: balance the massive supply shortfall. You know, there's only so
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: much you can pay in terms of price, supply and demand.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: The supply shrinks, the price goes up, right, well, there's
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: a point at which you say, no, Moss, I can't
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: afford the inc he's priced to deal with the limited supply,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: so I'm not going to buy it whatever it is,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: which of course results in whatever you're doing that you
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: relied upon for that thing you can't afford anymore not
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: happening anymore, resulting in fewer products on the market or
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: less services, whatever, you get the idea of the ripple
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: effect of the economy, so that demand destruction is becoming
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: a problem. International Monetary Fund warned last week than under
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: severe scenario where the conflict continues four months, which may
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: happen keeping oil prices elevated, they claim the world economic growth,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: the entire world's economic growth could drop two percent this year,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: which they say only happens in global recessions. Contrast, that
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: with what they would expect in a non war situation
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: where the straight up worm moves is open. They expect
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: output to grow by three point one percent this year,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: So that probably won't happen considering or based upon how
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: long this stalemate continues and it goes beyond crude. So yeah,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: there's crude related issues. But then the helium, which is
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: described as crucial for artificial intelligence chips, fertilizers of course
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: essential for global food security, and apparently illuminum prices are
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: already in a four year high because smelter closures across the Gulf,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: which also accounts for ten percent of global supply of aluminum.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: That's a lot of economic activity, and that's straight of
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: horror moves, isn't it. It's like finding out during COVID
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: that when you rely on a government like well the
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Chinese Communist parties China, you may find yourself backed into
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: a corner. Wait a second, they make all of the
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: product that I need and I can't count on them, right, Well,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: maybe we might find a different supplier or a different
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: place to get goods and services are goods through than
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the straight of horror moves. Long term planning that'll require
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: they say, the United States isn't immune from the problems,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: even though we are in a great position in terms
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: of our energy supply because drill, baby, drill, But inflation
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: is jumping because of these global consequences. Of course, in
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: November election, people are concerned about inflation, and apparently the
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: war's not real popular in among the American people, and
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: with only thirty six percent of the American population approving
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: of it. If you believe a poll or an opinion
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: survey and they point out the powers would be I'm
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: just reading a general overview from the Wall Street journalist
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: and coming up with some of these statistics. Asia will
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: be hit the hardest in connection with the Straight's closure.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Eighty percent of the oil and liquefied LNG going through
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the straight up horror moves goes to Asian markets. At
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: least that's the twenty twenty four figure. Some factories are
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: slashing production in Asia. They even point out One's gas
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: stations rather than Sri Lanka and Minimar are now rationing fuel.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: You got Europe. Luftonza going to iHeartMedia aviation expert Jay
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Ratliff's topics this morning. He'll be on at eight thirty,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: which is always the case. With Jay Luftonza canceled twenty
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: thousand short haul flights that were scheduled, and because well,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: the entire European Union is having a growing jet fuel
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: shortage problem and Golf country is also at risk for
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: further damage. If the standoff continues, exporters there in the
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Golf region won't be able to get most of their
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: supplies to market. Cutter, for example, had its LNG facility
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: wiped not wiped out, but damaged significantly mass quantities of
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: liquid natural gas coming out of They said repairs are
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: expected to take up to five years, and to give
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: you a cost of war illustration, a consulting firm in
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: asked Wall Street journalists. This consulting firm called rice Stad
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Energies to estimate how long or how much money it
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: would cost to repair the damaged energy infrastructure across the
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: golf generally speaking, fifty eight billion dollars just damage to
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: the energy infrastructure. So the Cutter facility, they say, will
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: take five years to repair, So take that and extrapolate
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: it overall out over all the other facilities that Iranians
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: have bombed. You got a longer term problem on her hand.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: So this situation is not going to resolve itself, at
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: least it seems anytime soon. Also coming on the Morning Show,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Congress Mooren Davidson. I met seven oh five Greg Lawson
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: for the Buckeye Institute on Empower Use seminar taking place
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: tonight property taxes as well as his expertise on artificial
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: intelligence facilities here in Ohio. Chris Gaffney got a Parkinson's
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: event coming up, the Parkinson's Spring Educational Forum and the
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Rock on the James Benefit Concert for Parkinson's support and wellness.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: We'll learn the details about those events at eight fifteen.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Jay RATTLFF at eight thirty five one three, seven four
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: three Talk pound five fifty on AT and T phones.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Feel free to call Glad We're back streaming again. Don't
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: go away.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: Data Scientists positions offered by Belkan Engineering.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Group and Friday Eve. Feel free to call mister Calles
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: yesterday five one three, seven four nine fifty five hundred,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: eight hundred eight two three Talk found five fifty on
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: AT and T phones. Gus Tom's on his way to Indianapolis. Tom,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: you in your car is the iHeartMedia app working. Yes,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: apparently it is, according to my Eric Hauld just sent
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: me a Facebook message saying, yes, it's up and running
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: this morning. Again, apologies for it being out out of
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: our hands and of course impacted all the stations, but
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: you have Caresey dot com get the podcast. Make up
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: on yesterday's loss. Let's see here. But bumph, it didn't
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: take long. Not a whole lot of details on this,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter. We had that squeak by passage
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: of the Virginia redistricting battle. You call that one, and
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: the Democrats now have I guess ten seats through Republicans one.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: If you just look at the way people traditionally vote
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: in the redistrict, that doesn't mean people have to vote
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: that way. I going back to the reality of this,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: just because you're in a Democrat leaning district doesn't mean
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: you need to or are always voting Democrat. But you
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: get the realities of what's going on there. Obviously, trying
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: to counter the efforts of Republicans in red states to
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: improve their number of representatives in the House that we
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: fast approached November, obviously a critical election. Virginia Circuit Court
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Judge Jack Early ruled yesterday, just a single day after
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: the Democrat redistricting referendum passed. Well, sorry, all votes cast
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: against a proposed redistricting amendment unconstitutional. There are requirements legal
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: requirements that the judge said the referendum did not meet,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: and this was widely known and perhaps even expected by
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of folks who've been following this. There are
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: still cases pending. Just didn't appreciate the fact that it
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: could turn around so quickly or be stopping, be put
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: an injunction in place blocking the certification of the election,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: and denied a motion to stay pending appeal, and it
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: is being appealed, of course. Virginia Trinity General Jack Jay Jones,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: who's a Democrat, said well, his office will immediately follow an appeal,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: and it may have been already filed already. There are
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: other constitutional challenge, apparently four different legal challenges going on.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: This just happens to be one of them, and legal
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: experts who've been following this suspect that there probably will
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: be a quick ruling, unlike the slow wheels of justice
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: we typically deal with waiting around. Dude, you got an
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: election coming up in November. This has a profound impact
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: on how the election is going to go. So they
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: expect a quick turnaround, maybe get a decision, final ruling
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: by may so freak out and then don't freak out.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Oh and then going back to the ripple effects of
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: the straight of horror moves, got maybe step in a
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: toe or dipping my toe into the water. The stack
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: is stupid. This is just kind of a comical reality.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: And how much that the straight of horn moves can
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: impact so many areas of the globe and the supply.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: I got this over at zero head. That's a pretty
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: good place to go, zero hedge the website. First order
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: effect of the conflict choke point disrupting global energy L
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: and G crew to de refined products. Okay, that's the
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: first impact. We all felt that immediately. The second order
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: effect a spike in petrochemical prices and widening shortage of
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: key industrial inputs. Welcome to the third order effect, as
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: they refer to it, the beginning of impact on everyday goods.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Illustration Malaysia backed car Acts, the world's largest condom maker,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: warning that your condom prices are about to explode. Caracs
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: CEO person named go Maya Kiat talking with Reuters about this,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: they well respect the high condom prices twenty to thirty
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: percent and maybe even more depending upon how long the
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: disruption continues. The situation is definitely very fragile. Prices are expensive.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: We have no choice but to transfer the cost right
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: now to the consumers. So synthetic rubber, nitrial used in
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: manufacturing your condoms, packaging materials, and lubricants, as well as
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: aluminum foil and silicone oil. Think about your condompact to
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: the extent you ever gave what an he thought? That's right,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: the package is made out of illuminum. Aluminum has already
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: quadrupled price. It's amazing the interconnected nature of the world economics,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: as illustrated by the spike in condom prices five twenty
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: five fifty five krc DE talk station Foreign Exchange. Get
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: your car fixed for less money, but also don't shoot
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: the messenger on the weather. All morning yesterday I was
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I was reading the weather forecast. Rain will be out
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: by nine am. So I get out of the station
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: about five minutes. Ten minutes after nine, I get my cars.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I always do head up seventy one and what am
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: I looking at? Yes, this massive front coming in. It
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: starts to rain, and there's lightning and storms going on
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: out there, and that continued for a while, so, you know,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: close sort of kind of just don't bet the farm
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: on it. And you're welcome. Mike, Mike's cribbage Mike and
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: submarineer Mike, who was thanking me for the time he
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: spent yesterday talking about the memorial of VFW memorial and
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: he suggested that the words condom and explode should never
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: be used in this sentence.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: I was thinking the same thing and wondering where the
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: phrasing button was, Mike, it is Who's first? Joe? I
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: got two callers online New Hampshire, Gary out front, Tom
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: hang On, Welcome back, Gary.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Good to hear from you. Hey, how you doing good?
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Glad to hear you back on. Iheartjie connected.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you tuning in man.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir, I can't let this southern poverty. Yeah, yep,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: I can't because there's just too many coincidences between Joe
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Biden and if you remember, the reason he began he
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: decided that he should run was because of Charlottesville back
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: in twenty seventeen. He said that was it, and if
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: you remember, it was the southern Poverty Law Center, they
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: came up with the lie.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: That white supremacy is the biggest threat we face in
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: the nation.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly right. And then if we remember when Joe
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Biden re examined the the White House dripped and blood
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: and marines that he also said that Walt's supremacy was
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: a terrorist tack. It was the most predful thing that
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: we had going on in this country. I can't help
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: but tell. And you know, I believe that both of
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: these people were they were communicating. They were like, okay,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: you be the hammer, I'll be the nail. Oh yeah,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: And they were paying people. It was It just goes
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: to show you that it's all one big kabuki show.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Well, in some it's more of this information has rolled
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: out over the Grand Jurion Nament of the Southern Poverty
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Law Center SOLPZ whatever anyway, that they were taking donors
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: money and funding the Klan, for example, like bolstering it
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: and boosting the clan's presence, image and presumably membership to
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: make them to be more of a threat than the
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: emasculated four member group that they were before the SLPC
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: started handing the money. So it's just insane when you
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: think about it. Their mission is to go after hate
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: groups and racism. If you can't find them, then your
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: mission is over. And that's pretty much where I guess
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: they found themselves. So what do they start doing. Well,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: let's go find an organization that still exists. Hey, there's
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: four guys that belong to a clan organization in some
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: you know, rural part of the country. We're going to
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: give them a million dollars and then they'll use that
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: to market and fund and they look, we're relevant again. Hey,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: we're getting We're getting cat. That's kind of how I've
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: been led to believe that this whole scam unfolded or
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: how it worked. So if you don't have an enemy,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: find one. If you don't have one and can't find one,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: make one up. Just Smollett, for example.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: I think that they were using the the They were
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: using it for what you're saying, but they are also
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: using it to push political power into authors.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Of course, yeah, absolutely.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: It really is a conspiracy. It is.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: And now wait, we can look at the trajectory. Okay,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: black folks typically vote Democrat. You know, that's why the
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Democrats take you my friends in the black community. For granted,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: if you're not. If you don't vote Democrat, you ain't black.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Who wasn't said that right, Joe Biden? So SLPC saying
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: white supremacy is the biggest threat to the nation and
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: claiming to have documentation or some information that supports that.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Obviously my gin up people in the black community to
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: want to vote for Joe Biden even though they might
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: not otherwise vote for the guy or whatever. But yeah,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: you got to baked into the cake, locked in group
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: of people who blindly follow a single party. Guess what,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: you do everything you can to get that group together
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: so they yes, continue down that trajectory. How do you
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: do that? Sell racism period, That's what they were doing, apparently, Gary,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: God bless you, sir, Tom, Welcome to the show. In
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: a happy Friday eve to you, sir.
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and good morning and glad everything's back rolling as
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: it should. So appreciate it out here. I usually I'm
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: out here at least a week at it, sometimes two
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: weeks and then and so I don't I don't have it.
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: Seemed like you think I.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Have to drive it in the every day.
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: No, So okay, no way, I'm making this drive every day.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: That's for clearing up the record there it's only an
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: hour and twenty minutes.
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: But what well, and more like two hours of course,
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: I'm over, I'm up here elevenon northwest of Anyway anyway, nobody,
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: nobody gives a crap about what I got to do.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: So but.
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: I I don't know if you mentioned this already. You
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: guys are big mondiy Python fans. But I picture around
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: being being like that night at one night in the
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: Holy Grail, where no matter how many lanes you cut off,
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: he kept swinging in. Is that all you got?
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: And he kept fighting back.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Draw come back here and bite your knee caps off right,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: So there.
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: There, and they have the they have the intestinal fortitude
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: to keep on going based on the stuff that they believe.
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: It's all ingrained in their society. And and uh.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: They are who's the day you're referring to?
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: Well, they there's enough obviously, there's enough people in that
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: country who believe things religiously that they're going to keep going.
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: And that's what that's what a lot of this stuff
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: is entrusting, is their religious beliefs that they start teaching
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: their children early on and they beat it into their
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: brains that that you know, united States is the great
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: Satan and Israel's that, you know, and that's that.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: They teach them.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: And so in this country, we Garrisment was talking about it,
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: and we've been talking about a lot. The Democrats do
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: that against Conservatives and Republicans weren't terrible human beings. And
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: no matter what you do, no matter how much you improve,
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: it's kind of like you know, some some guys are
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: are with girls that never forgive them. They they've made mistakes,
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: they've done some things wrong, and those women will hold
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: it over their head for the rest of their life,
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: no matter how much they clean up their act. No
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: matter how much better they do, it doesn't matter. I
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: have this in my back pocket to use against you
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: any time I want. And it's and it's ridiculous. It's
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: not fair, it's crap. No matter how well you do,
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: no matter how well this country does, as far as
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: racism is concerned, doesn't matter. The Democrats are always going
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: to use racism that you cannot get rid of history.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: It's there, it happened. But what they also failed to
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: tell everybody is they're the ones that were the racists
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: back in the day, not the Republicans. The liars they're liars,
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: and they keep beating us over the head with this
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: crap using fear and hate and all. And Gary's right,
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: it's all about political power. They just want to stay
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: in power so they can be the ones that call
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: the shots to control the money. So don't vote Democrats.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Revisionist history on that whole clan relationship, Yes, Democrats, so
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: five thirty seven, And don't be that person who holds
• 23:51

  Speaker 1: time ago over your head every single time. Yeah, that
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: is a relationship ender the talk station five kercite talk station,

  Speaker 1: suggesting that because Eric Conroy, who I've talked to us
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: several times, got the endorsement from Donald Trump, that that
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: was the end of Well, that was obviously the decisive
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: moment in time. So we will see how that one
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: goes out over the stack. Is stupid we go to Florida,
• 24:31

• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Davidson returns. He says, the election is coming up, get
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: out and vote. And on that note, I did see
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: that there are a shortage of poll workers. So if
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: you're able to work the polls and it's a civic duty,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: you can at least say you did one thing the
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: benefits society during the year. Work the polls. Get paid
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: for it. Not a tremendous amount of money, but it
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: can be rewarding and it might give you a little
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: bit greater satisfaction with the integrity of the vote. I
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: know my wife did it for more than a decade
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: and she's since moved on. She felt like she did
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: her civic duty and has other obligations and things that
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: she's doing, but still never a problem, always a very
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: positive experience. So, yeah, you're sitting next to a bunch
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: of people on the opposit side of the political ledger,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: but you're both watching each other and engaging in civic
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: function and securing the integrity the vote, which gives me
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: a little bit of concern given an article that I
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: saw like a couple of days ago. I'm going to

  Speaker 1: It's titled Vulnerabilities in US twenty twenty Election Infrastructure. Declassified
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: by Tulsea Gabbert middle of March, our director of National Intelligence.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: The key takeaways from the memo. The memo states, quote,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: we assess that at least Russia, China, Iran, and North
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Korea have the capability to access and potentially manipulate data
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: in US election related computer systems. Now they say specifically,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: this is not we found that they did. They just
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: found these vulnerabilities, which suggest that countries like China, Russian
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: around in North Korea that have these technological ability to
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: hack into it can not aware of any specific plan
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: to do so, though I doubt that these powers would
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: announce ahead of time that they were intending to hack
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: into our election system. Report points out non state groups
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: have the capability to gain access to the critical infrastructure.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Frightening yeah. Memo includes several different segments of election infrastructure
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: that arevulnerable to the attack, including voter registration databases, poll books,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: and voting machines.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: Men.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Mirandum notes voter registration database exist on Internet connected systems
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: that are designed for easy access. That is a feature
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: built into them because records apparently are continuously updated, so
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: it's got to be easy to access. But because it's
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: easy to access, adversaries, they said in the memo, could
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: alter data to potentially prevent individual voter or groups of
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: voters from voting, or even cause delays on election day.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Unlike the delay of the election itself, I ate the
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: actin when she was you know, Chief Pooba here during
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. This would be a delay in the election day,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: maybe because of a system malfunction or shut down. Huh
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: h what about that?
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Previously reported, Iran and China both gain access to voter
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: registration databases. Iran hackers indicted for breach in November twenty
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: twenty one, while declassified documents showed Beijing's penetration in March
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: of this year. Memo notes the vulnerabilities with pole book.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: They say many ebooks are also connected to the Internet,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: and that these, in the words of the memo, would
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: be able to easily exploit to manipulate the data. The
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty memo noted that the centralized data repositories are
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: the most vulnerable. We assess that adversaries could most easily
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: exploit centralized election related data repositories because of their ease
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: of access and comparative lack of security. These systems, which
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: are used to collect, update, and store voter information, are
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: designed for regular access, commonly through web portals, which make
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: them vulnerable to arrange of malicious cyber activities. Vote administering
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: systems noted as vulnerable to localized exploitation. Localized direct recording
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: electronic machines with which records and processes votes digitally and
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: store tabulation data in removable memory, are particularly vulnerable to
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: cyber op operations, especially machines with no paper or backup.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: The MAMO says such machines, however, are used far less
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: than other more secure types of voting machines. Well that's
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: a little positive note there. Memo said adversaries who obtained
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: physical access to voting machines could alter how they function,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: manipulate the data inside them, or install malware that will
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: be your vulnerable localized exploitation, like, for example, if you
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: had going back to the poll workers, a corrupt poll worker,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: a corrupt person who is not interested in upholding the
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: integrity the vote, but is interested in helping his or
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: her party out access to the voting machines, the ability
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: to install MARA what malware. Listen, I didn't make this
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: stuff up. This is what the experts concluded back in
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty, where the holes and the problems exist. I
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: got an outloud question to ask for those of us
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: who are concerned about this kind of thing, the problems
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: identified in this memo, I'm wondering, have they been fixed?
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Mostly a state function? This isn't a federal sort of
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: We need federal legislation. We need federal dollars and resources
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: through this problem. I guess one can make an argument
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: for that. But elections are typically, if not exclusively, run
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: by states, and does has any given state allocated the
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: resources necessary to plug the holes in this problem? Like
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: maybe hiring intrust it to take a look at where
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: these vulnerabilities are and to prevent them from even being vulnerable.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, I wish I knew more about the ins
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: and outs of computer programming to understand the complexity involved
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: in plugging the whole. But if the experts can find
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: the whole and find the vulnerability, I would like to
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: imagine that they have a fix for that. Now previously
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: reported by Gateway Pundit, you know drewn conclusions about the
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: website source information, But there's actually twenty twenty two testimony
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: in a case called Lake versus Hobbes. A guy named Clay,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: a former Capital V voting systems test lab contractor for
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: a company called pro VMV. Anyway he testified in this
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: Lake versus hobcase is that he could hack into the
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: systems in five to ten minutes, with a record time
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: of two minutes because he'd done it before. He also
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: testified that he was actually forbidden from quote in his words,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: going further into the system where he would then be
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: able to manipulate the statistical data on the system. So
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: there's one guy's actually involved and has done it. Now
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: back to this memo from twenty twenty, Voting machines configured
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: at central locations are vulnerable to insider threats. Malware introduced
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: to the voting machines during this phase might affect multiple jurisdictions,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: but also would be detachable or detectable rather during pre
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: election testing. So you do have pre election testing. That's
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: one of the things that I know we have in
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Ohio here after previously talked to Secretary of States about this.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Has no problem with the computer tabulations here in Ohio,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: and I guess they do keep a paper record, but
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: it can happen, and some out there that memo was
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: released in twenty twenty think it did happen. Morning, Good Morning,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: six fifteen fifty five krc the talk station. What an
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: outstanding product, Rhino Shield. It is six twenty one to
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: fifty five or six twenty to fifty five KRCD Talk station.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Very Happy Friday Eve to you over the phones five one, three, seven,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eight two three
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Tako with tound five fifty if you have an AT
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: and T phone, Jay, Welcome to the morning show. Happy
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Friday Eve to you, my friend.
• 38:32
  Speaker 8: Hey, Happy Friday, Bryant. Thank god you guys are back.
• 38:35
  Speaker 8: I thought, uh, maybe they pulled the plug on you
• 38:37
  Speaker 8: guys and I started to go fund man to try to.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Shoot for six.
• 38:41
  Speaker 8: We're gonna start it on radio station. I needed six
• 38:44
  Speaker 8: hundred million dollars from the unclaimed fund we only we
• 38:47
  Speaker 8: only got strekers seven dollars thirty five, So that's.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Better at the start, Jay, I thought you did you
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: hear me mention it? The other day when I saw
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: that FC Cincinnati, I think put it. Put their hand
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: in the unclaimed funds cookie jar of the two of
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty nine million dollars. Not that they've yet,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: but hey, if the Cleveland Browns can do it, why
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: not FC Cincinnati?
• 39:05
  Speaker 9: Hey?
• 39:05
  Speaker 8: Why not me?
• 39:06
  Speaker 9: Brian?
• 39:06
  Speaker 8: I have three small businesses and it says they haven't
• 39:09
  Speaker 8: codified how.
• 39:10
  Speaker 7: To get it.
• 39:10
  Speaker 8: I guess the door's wide open from.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: Every one of us.
• 39:13
  Speaker 8: A don't have an LLC, you can go get a
• 39:16
  Speaker 8: clearing center for about seven hundred bucks. You can be
• 39:18
  Speaker 8: up and running. So I would encourage everybody to get
• 39:20
  Speaker 8: their hands in that cookie jar.
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: Why not?
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: Why not?
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: Especially when you have politicians like ilon Oman or Omar
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: making it so much easier in Minnesota, for example, to
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: open a non for profit and put your hand into
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: the corrupt cookie jar that are these non governmental organization programs.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Interesting that.
• 39:37
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Hey, the reason that called is doesn't it say
• 39:40
  Speaker 8: everything about our federal government that they came out with
• 39:44
  Speaker 8: data that said that our election system was high risk
• 39:47
  Speaker 8: of being hacked and they sat around a table and
• 39:49
  Speaker 8: decided that needs to be classified. We can't possibly share
• 39:53
  Speaker 8: that with the American people.
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: Exactly untill years go by. Exactly why do they do that?
• 39:58
  Speaker 8: I think that's what the listeners to sit back and
• 40:00
  Speaker 8: think about, is what kind of attitude, what kind of
• 40:05
  Speaker 8: pride and arrogance?
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: Is it?
• 40:07
  Speaker 8: That they are the parents, We are the children, and
• 40:09
  Speaker 8: we can't handle the truth?
• 40:11
  Speaker 9: Uh?
• 40:12
  Speaker 8: Which is which? Which says at all about what they
• 40:16
  Speaker 8: think about us?
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: Exactly? Well, tild adage, it's not who actually wins the election,
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: it's the person who counts the votes, right.
• 40:23
  Speaker 8: Jay, Yeah, yeah, no kidding and h And lastly, you know,
• 40:28
  Speaker 8: Amy Acton would have never existed had there not been
• 40:30
  Speaker 8: a Mike DeWine, and Mike de Wine wouldn't have existed
• 40:33
  Speaker 8: if he didn't have the backing of Central Committee. Mike
• 40:37
  Speaker 8: de Wine appointed John Houston, who is a damaged, I
• 40:40
  Speaker 8: think damaged candidate after this whole First Energy thing. He's
• 40:45
  Speaker 8: walking into this primary with baggage hanging off in him,
• 40:48
  Speaker 8: with his hands being involved in this. Whether he's jolty
• 40:51
  Speaker 8: or not, it's a gift to Sharon Brown. And there
• 40:54
  Speaker 8: could have never been a Shared Brown had there not
• 40:56
  Speaker 8: been Mike DeWine backed by the Central Committee. So kuda
• 41:00
  Speaker 8: to Central Committee, I'm giving you alite golf collap to
• 41:03
  Speaker 8: be behind the wine all these years to give a
• 41:06
  Speaker 8: Share Brown and Amy act and even opening.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: The door a bit, we can say, it's like we're
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: lost ship. Have a good day of Brian you two Jay,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: Sorry we got dropped off there last minute. Didn't get
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: the balance what you're pushing for. Yeah, but up up up,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: you know I don't. I never have really understood the
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: nature of all this secrecy in government. I mean do
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: I do appreciate the idea of maintaining secrecy with regard
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: to maybe clandestine operations or military secrets and things. But
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: your taxpayer dollars paid for the report again going back
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: to twenty twenty, just release this year. Your taxpayer dollars
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: obviously put the good use in so far as identifying problems,
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: identifying infrastructure issues and is a problem that we know
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: the problem was revealed by that report that we already
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: know our adversaries know. I mean, notably since the Chinese
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: had already been caught sticking their hand in the voting
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: cookie jar. And the report indicates that these major state
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: actors have the options to sort of break into the system.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: I think it's pretty safe to believe that they know
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: that already. I mean, they're always constantly engaging in efforts
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: to crack into whatever system we're talking about, this is
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: the voting system. I think they don't want to invite
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: an angry population and might stand up and demand the
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: problems be addressed and resolved. And of course maybe there
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: are nefarious actors in government that want the problems to
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: exist and remain so that the elections are manipulated. I
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: don't know how that anears to anybody in this country's benefit,
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: unless they're friends with maybe the CCP or the North Koreans.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: Why would you want them to be able to determine
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: the nature or the outcome of the election. Maybe they
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: don't go the direction you want, so you might want
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: to get ahead of them prevent that problem from even happening. However,
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: going back to the nature of secrecy, it's a comment
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: and maidence so far as like UFO in extraterrestrials or aliens,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: who cares if there are or not? What kind of
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: problem would that present to society or mankind if they
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: actually said, yeah, we've known about it for a long time.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: But they maintain this cloak of secrecy over these types
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: of things, and it really makes you scratch your head
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: and wonder, why what I'm not capable of handling the truth?
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: I pay your damn salary. I paid for all the
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: research and all the investigations, and all these studies and
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: the memorandity you produce behind the scenes. Don't you think
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: I should get a chance to look at it. Don't
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: you think I, as a voter might use that as
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: a perhaps an issue that I that may push me
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: one way or another, depending upon what a candidate is
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: running on. I candidate acts promise to put every resource
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: available in federal government to stopping the ability of fraud
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: or the ability for Chinese Communist Party hackers to get
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: into our election system. You could run on that, but
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: you can't if you don't know it's a problem, because
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: if you don't release the memorandum you mentioned something like that,
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: I go to my friend Maureen who commented about, you know,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: elections being stolen long, long time. How do you have
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: the information? You sound crazy, not new, Maureen. But see
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: that's the response people get. But you can say that
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: out loud. Why you have that memo in your hand
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: and you're waving and around going Look, this is not
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: based on some theory I came up with or pulled
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: from my sphinter. Our own experts are saying these problems exist.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: You had to wait six years to find that out.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: That's not right. Six twenty six fifty five cars DE

  Speaker 1: few days ago, and so I felt really old.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: Joe?
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: Are you feeling old? Are you facing your immortality a

• 45:04
  Speaker 1: hamilin Kuindy Sheriffs Charme mcguffee increasing deputy patrols and over
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: the Rhine, adding more law enforcement to neighborhoods. Thank you
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: to Brady Williams Fox nineteen reporting That's a different direction,
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: isn't it. Deputy has been providing assistance to the Cincinni
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: Police for some months, adding more law enforcement presence in
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: the area. Charmion McGuffey said her deputies are equipped to
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: handle police work when there are more problems for than officers.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: She said, we're hearing from the public there's an uptick
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: and for whatever reason, and we've all decided that this
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: can't stand. It's not going to be allowed. This yeah,
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: increasing criminal activity. Mcufey said members of the public of
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: requested bigger police presence might not be feasible when you
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: have a lower contingent the Cincinni Police department, though, Isn't
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: that true? Joe I thought everyone hated the police. I
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: thought nobody. Iris Straley said the police suck. Oh to me, okay.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: Sheriff's departments include in law enforcement regularly. I mean, so
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: they suck too, don't they? Aren't they racist inherently? So huh,
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: McGuffey said. Last summer, deputy's assisted the since I police
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: on Court Street found out deputies are effective and cutting
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: back on what she calls quality of life crimes. We're
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: able to concentrate on that area because we don't have
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: to respond to radio calls in the city. She pointed out,
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: deputies can handle crime or disruption and over the rind
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: even if a major crime happens elsewhere in the city.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: Mcguffey's comment was, we can really make a difference in
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: the OTHR area and we're looking to build that. Hey,
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: wherever the allocation resources goes, as long as it's actual
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: law enforcement officers, sheriff's deputies, since I police department, then
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: that's good. More is obviously better. And it looks like
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: our elected or at least Charmie mcguffey's gotten the message
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: the people demand it h real quick. Here about nine
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: million dollars worth of suspected cocaine seized earlier this week Tuesday,
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: during our traffic stop forty minutes outside of Indianapolis, Indiana
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: Police State Criminal indict Interdiction trooper pulled over after over
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: a speeding semi and this happened on I seventy near
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: Cloverdale and Putnam County. Trooper noticed multiple criminal indicators, suggesting
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: the driver, determined to be a twenty seven year old
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: Harmon Deep Sing Bakersfield, California, was operating below industry standards
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: in quotes saying gay the trooper permission to search the
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: semi after being pulled over. During the search, troopers discovered
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: nearly four hundred pounds of suspected cocaine and several duffel
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: bags cardboard boxes. Mount of cocaine estimated to have a
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: value of over nine million dollars. Twenty seven year old
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: driver arrested for stealing, dealing rather in narcotic drugs, and
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: possession of a narcotic drug operating below industry standards. I
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: wonder what that actually was it with six thirty five,
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: Oh Marreneen, you are on the line and I see that,
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: but I'm gonna make you wait for thirty nine and

• 48:09
  Speaker 1: we don't have anything to talking with Warren Davidson about
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: Greg Lawson from a Buckeye institute to Day to five
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: and a seminar tonight of pow Are you America? Dot
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: or Chris Caffey on the Parkinson Spring Educational Forum, and
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: Jay Rattlert those in the eight o'clock hour. In the meantime,
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: Morning was kind enough to hold Maureen, you heard your
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: name called on the fifty five Carsey Morning Show. Good
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: to hear from me this morning.
• 48:26
  Speaker 10: Good morning, Brian. Of course, when you cover my favorite subject,
• 48:29
  Speaker 10: I'm gonna call it.
• 48:30
  Speaker 7: I know.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: You know that I'm baiting you.
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: I am.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: I am inviting your phone call Marine because I get
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: a big kick out of you. You've just you've just you're, like,
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: like I said before, you're the person that comes up
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: with this thing and you say it over and over
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: and people are rolling their eyes, going, oh, what a
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: conspiracy theorist. And then you know, you wait long enough,
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: lo and behold, Morning was right all along.
• 48:50
  Speaker 10: So I don't Sometimes it takes a few years, but eventually.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: You got guys like me that are testing the boundaries
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: of your theory. And that's what I'm here for, you know,
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: go ahead.
• 49:00
  Speaker 10: Yeah, okay, So you were talking about the Gateway Pundit
• 49:05
  Speaker 10: article about the voters. We're calling it voter theft. Now
• 49:09
  Speaker 10: I liked your callers calls. A couple of days ago
• 49:12
  Speaker 10: where we're now calling well he.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: Was referring to that was a reference to fraud, wasteed abuse,
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: all all the leering centers. He does not want those
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: types of things to refer to fraud waste abuse. He
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: wants it to refer to his theft, the stealing of
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars. This is this involves of course voting.
• 49:28
  Speaker 10: Okay, well i'm talking to I'm going to call it
• 49:30
  Speaker 10: poker theft that they stole my vote. Okay. So I
• 49:35
  Speaker 10: think they're seeding the narrative and letting people know about
• 49:37
  Speaker 10: the foreign interference by putting it out there with what
• 49:40
  Speaker 10: Telsea Gabbert had to say. I think they already knew.
• 49:44
  Speaker 10: I think, you know, because President Trump always comes out
• 49:46
  Speaker 10: and says, we've got it all, we caught them all,
• 49:48
  Speaker 10: they have it all, and it's just a matter of
• 49:50
  Speaker 10: trickling it out to the American people. And this is
• 49:53
  Speaker 10: one way of doing it. And one of the things
• 49:55
  Speaker 10: that's really going to come out and have fair a
• 49:57
  Speaker 10: lot of fruit is the John Brennan, the testimony that's
• 50:02
  Speaker 10: going on this grand jury that was convened in Fort Pierce,
• 50:05
  Speaker 10: Florida a couple months ago. It's still going on, and
• 50:08
  Speaker 10: even though we don't know exactly, we're not allowed to
• 50:11
  Speaker 10: know what's going on with these grand jury testimonies and things.
• 50:14
  Speaker 10: But one way they can tell and then I learned
• 50:16
  Speaker 10: this from listening to the General's retired General's podcasts. They
• 50:19
  Speaker 10: can tell by what they've asked for and they've asked
• 50:22
  Speaker 10: for certain topics on congressional testimony, and then they're bringing
• 50:26
  Speaker 10: that back to the jury to talk about these these
• 50:28
  Speaker 10: convened testimonies. But anyway, what they're finding out is that
• 50:33
  Speaker 10: there was a book actually written called High Stakes Treason
• 50:37
  Speaker 10: about John Brennan, and there are apparently and allegedly server
• 50:42
  Speaker 10: farms in Serbia and Germany that were had access to
• 50:48
  Speaker 10: our voting and our elections. And that's probably going to
• 50:52
  Speaker 10: come out pretty soon when this grand jury's finished, and
• 50:55
  Speaker 10: that John Brennan could be the first arrest and that
• 50:58
  Speaker 10: he'll be just the first.
• 51:00
  Speaker 9: I know of many.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: Wow, well, what time, What do you think? What do
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: you think the implications of this might be, Maureene.
• 51:08
  Speaker 10: I think it's going to be just the total theft
• 51:10
  Speaker 10: of our boats and that's you know, that's treason. High
• 51:15
  Speaker 10: Stakes Treason's the name of the book. And I think
• 51:17
  Speaker 10: it lays out a pretty good story. They just needed
• 51:20
  Speaker 10: a jury convened and then indictments.
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: Well I go, oh, I'm just kind of curious. We
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: don't really get in any information about what goes on
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: in the grand jury ever, Right, So where is the
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: information that you are referring to coming from? This is see,
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: that's the source kind of thing. Is where I always
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: kind of entered the equation, like, wait a second, I
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: want to test the resources here because I can go
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: out and literally write anything I want and posted. The
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: question is whether what I wrote is accurate or something
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: made up? So how is it that you know about
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: the testimony that is back there, because that's where my
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: red flags always started writing Wave and Maureene, Yeah, they.
• 51:56
  Speaker 10: Don't know about the exact testimony. They can only pullan
• 52:01
  Speaker 10: what they feel could be. This could be about based
• 52:03
  Speaker 10: on what they're asking for from congressional testimony. Okay, so
• 52:09
  Speaker 10: I guess there's there's access to that, and so you
• 52:13
  Speaker 10: look at the topic of oh what are they.
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: Ask so yeah, okay, you extrapolate from the people they're
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: talking to or the request for documents or information. You say,
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: there's only one place that can be going on this
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: and that's how you arrive at a server.
• 52:26
  Speaker 10: Farm in Ukraine, in Serbia and Germany.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: Serbia and Germany.
• 52:30
  Speaker 11: Yeah sorry, yeah, well yeah that is that was rumored,
• 52:34
  Speaker 11: that rumored right right, right word, and that's in the
• 52:39
  Speaker 11: book High Stakes Trees, and they outline a lot of.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: That, all right, I like, I hope there are footnotes
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: and reference points in the book. I haven't read the book,
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: but it's the kind of thing I look for. Okay,
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: that sounds very crazy, that sounds scary. Where did you
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: get the information? If there's some sort of you know,
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: learning treatise or some legitimate source of information, or the
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: actual quote from the person saying that's what happened, then
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: you at least can go back to a reference point.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm always looking for, something to hang my
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: hat on or at least gain confidence in, which is
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: why some resources I immediately rely on. In others I
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: have big concerns going in. So appreciate it, Maureen. I
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: know you're on top of this all the time, and
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: that's why I like hearing you call in so you
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: can let everybody else know what you're telling me throughout
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: the week. I love you, Marien. One of the reasons
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: I'm happy the iHeartMedia app is back to working again. Yes,
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: it was out nationwide yesterday and I'm glad it's back
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: up and running. You can call too. Always get happy
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: when people call five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two three talk, pound
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: five fifty on eight and T phones. I'll tell you
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: the trees in our yard are looking great. The talk
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: station it's six fifty fifty five KERCD talk station five one, three, seven, four,
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: three talk or a pound five fifty on eighteen T phones.
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: Care to call in? Coming up out of the top
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: of the air. It is no time to call in
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: because Congressman Warren Davidson returns of the program. It looks
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: like the Senate is pushing forward with U but reconciliation
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: budget reconciliation, so you don't need the sixty vote in
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: the Senate to move forward. They were I think they
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: were supposed to start moving forward with this yesterday, advancing
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: the plan to fund ice and border patrol agencies for
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: three full years, so all the way through the balance
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: of the Trump administration. The funding plan is described as
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: a non binding budget resolution that the Republicans handed out
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday, So now begins the process. There's gonna be
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of testing votes, what they're calling a vote
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: a rama, because I guess if you go with budget
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: reconciliation in order to avoid the sixty vote threshold without
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: going to the nuclear option, you got to let everybody
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: and his brother propose amendments. And that's just to get
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: you on record. It's a political it's a political thing,
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: and of course Republicans have amendments they want to So
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: we'll see what Congress from david has to say. Davidson
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: has to say about that, and he won't have to
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: vote on something from the Senate that got shot down yesterday.
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: This Senate, Republicans vote with with with unison, with exception
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: of Rand Paul, of course, defeating another Democrat effort to
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: pass the War Powers Resolution that would stop President Trump
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: from continuing the military operations against Iran. Now I can
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: question the whole process of US going to war in
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: the first place. I say eminent threats, I don't so, okay,
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: I understand all of that. I fell into the camp
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: that didn't really view it as an eminent threat. We've
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: been dealing with these chowderheads now for the last forty
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: five fifty years. Then you know what changed overnight. But whatever,
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: I understand, But I have to ask, at what do
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: this leasa? So they shot down the War Powers Resolution
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three. This would have either provided a scope
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: of authorized military use or made Donald Trump pull the
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: plug immediately As to that level, which is I think
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: the way yesterday's was phrased, you know, past this, and
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: we're going to force the withdrawal of America from being
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: engaged with the conflict with the Iranians. I don't know
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: that that would be a good thing at this juncture.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: Call where we're at as a stalemate or a battle
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: of attrition as I refer to it. Who can hold
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: out longer, the Iranians or US? With the ports from
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: Iran closed? Then the straight of horror moves close? Is
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: the pain equally shared? So that's where we are. Do
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: you want to give up on the whole process? Now
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: you're on the cusp perhaps the brink of getting rid
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: of the Iranian current regime, maybe bringing some stability to
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: the Middle East? What would the whole situation look like
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: if you just pulled the plug right now, we would
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: look really bad. I understand that we're not looking real
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: good from the global perspective anyway. Many of my listeners
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: are going, so what, I hear you? But it would
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: leave a mess, and the Iranian rogue government that remains
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: in power will remain in power. And apparently they still
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: have a whole lot of speed boats because they were
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: able to effectively block through commandeer three container ships just yesterday.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: So we haven't destroyed their entire navy if they've got
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: hundreds of these pesky little boats driving around that are
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: capable of taking over multi gazillion ton tankers. But you
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: don't want to necessarily pull the plug right now.
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: But what do you do?
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: Because this means we're to state of limbo, no authorization
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: VI used military force, no declaration of war. It's just
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: somewhere in between. I mentioned Vietnam early in the program.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: That seems to be where we are. And guess how
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: long in that conflict land? How many tens of thousands
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: of folks lost their lives in that one? Is it
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: fifty thousand plus? And I still remember the vision of
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: the helicopters flying out of the US embassy as we
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: hastily pulled out of Vietnam after billions of dollars a
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: time for Shodenfreud to Seattle. They are predicted to lose
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: up to seven hundred and fifty million dollars in tax
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: revenue one city because one company's decided they're going to
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: expand operations in Tennessee and not Seattle, the home base
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: of the company. Yep, Starbucks. You can hear the laughter
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: in my voice. I'm trying to restrain myself here. They're
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: expanding operations in Tennessee. Starbucks Seattle based, Seattle founded. That's
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of tax revenue anyway. Press release earlier this
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: week Tuesday, Starbucks announced it was investing one hundred million
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: dollars and bringing two thousand new jobs to Nashville, Tennessee.
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: Starbucks has major plans for its newest business location, where
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: we will employ up to two thousand people over the
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: next several years to serve in a variety of corporate
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: related operations. Wait a minute. Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson, who
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: in November probably sealed the deal on Starbucks deciding to
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: go to Nashville. She was standing in front of a
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: union crowd, a bunch of union workers telling them that
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: don't buy Starbucks. What because apparently Starbucks hadn't unionized yet. There,
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not buying Starbucks and you should not too. That
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: was then in a statement to local news there Fox
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: thirteen Seattle, Wilson said Starbucks is a core part of
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: Seattle's identity. We're proud to be home of its first store,
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: it's headquarters, and so many of the workers who make
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: the company what it is. We're focused on maintaining a
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: strong partnership with leadership and with employees. So Starbucks continues
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: to succeed in the city where it began. I guess
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: Starbucks doesn't see it that way. Maybe one of the
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: reasons is revealed by the statistics from the Tax Foundation,
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: which not that long ago, when judging the state business
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: tax climate, they released and released an index twenty fourteen.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: The state business tax climate ranked Washington state sixth overall
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: in the nation. That's pretty damn good. I don't think
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: Ohio is that high. Fast forward twelve years twenty twenty six,
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: tax Foundation did it again. Washington is now forty fifth overall,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: which may provide you a good indication of why Starbucks
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: moved over to Tennessee. I suspect Tennessee much higher on
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: the list. Five fifty six, fifty five Karsity Talk Station,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: Congressman Warren Davidson after the News. I've been stick around
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: from over.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 5: There to go after the worst of the worst to write.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: Here seven oh six here at Vity five Kersite Talk Station.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: That be Thursday. Brian Thomas, host of the Vity five
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: Karosee Morning Show, always with a smile on his face
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: when he welcomes back to the fifty five Karosee Morning Show.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: Congressman Warren Davidson. Appreciate your willing us to come on
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: the show regularly, Congressman Davidson, and welcome back, my friend.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 9: Hey, good morning, Brian. Really nice to talk with you.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: Nobody's primary you, are they.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 9: Not?
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: This year?
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 9: It's very refreshing, it's encouraging. About the highest compliment you
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 9: can get as a current office holder is to have people,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 9: especially within your own party, to say, yeah, you know,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 9: it's pretty good.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And it would be a I don't know, fools
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: aeron to to try to primary you. Obviously, you're very
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: successful in your representation. People really enjoy the job that
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: you've done and it is a solid, solid Republican leaning district,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: the eighth district that you represents, or the seventh rout
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: or eighth district. So I think it's the right thing
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: to not primary you. But there are a lot of
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: races out there that are contested, and I've been hearing
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: a lot of complaints by folks on the Republican side
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: of the ledger because most of my listeners don't have
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: anything to say about the Democrats side of the ledger,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: but they're party endorsing candidates ahead of the primary. That
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: obviously takes the wind out of a lot of people's sales.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: But what are your thoughts just generally reacting to that
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: before we get to the importance of getting out and
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: voting in the primary, which is a tough thing to
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: get people to do.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 9: Congressman Davidson, Yeah, I think it's interesting because you know,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 9: we've got Moible counties. In Hamilton County, for example, doesn't
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 9: endorse any Republican candidate in their party, doesn't endorse in primaries,
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 9: and frankly, they have held the ground as well against Democrats. Now,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 9: I don't think that's the cause and effect relationship. You know,
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 9: there's just two facts I mean, the demographics in Hamilton
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 9: County are shifting pretty radically. And once once they changed
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 9: the constitution in the States to say the whole city
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 9: of Cincinnati has to make up a district. It can't
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 9: be split between the first and second. That that really
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 9: has at least temporarily changed the representation there. If you
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 9: look across the rest of the district, we've got divided
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 9: counties in terms of Butler County always endorses Prebble, generally
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 9: endorses Dark.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: Doesn't.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 9: You know, So those those approaches kind of vary individuals.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 9: I rarely endorse it occasionally I do. I just recently
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 9: enjoiced endorsed Eric Conroy. I didn't prior because I had,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 9: you know, a relationship with Eric Conroy and Steve Steve
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 9: imof and he Withdrew, Steve Withdrew, and I had good
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 9: friends and good donors and network relationships that were supporting
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 9: each of those two candidates, both good guys, and so
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 9: I was like, you know, I'm not personally going to endorse,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 9: even though the Warren County Party had endorsed in that
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 9: race for pritive. So it's a tough thing. I mean,
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 9: people express their views. I think statewide. There's probably been
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 9: the most controversy is in statewide races when the party
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 9: endorses and endorses early. There's that kind of tip the
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 9: skills a lot, because it is really challenging, you know,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 9: especially for a first time candidate to build name idea
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 9: around the state.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no question about it. And that's kind of
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: the thing that's a challenge of many of my listeners
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: who are looking for someone new, someone who isn't really
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know, perhaps overly affiliated with the establishment Republicans.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to dance around delicacy here, Congressman Davidson. Don't
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: want to offend anybody, but you know, there are some
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: really quality candidates out there that don't have any price
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: name recognition, and I think we'd be well served by
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: those that are party loyalists and those that are the outsiders.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking of one race in particular. I think people
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: can probably try to figure out which one I'm talking about.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: But you know, we just want a chance, you know,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: the we would like to say in the matter. You know,
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: Central Committee comes out and does an endorsement or votes
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: and it just rubbed people the wrong way. No need
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: to dwell on anymore. But the importance of getting on
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: the primary. What you get like ten percent of the
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: populations registered to vote actually voting in it speak to
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: the importance of primary races, Congressman David And if there
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: is one in particular that you have your sights on
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: of why it might be important for the folks to
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: get out and vote, go ahead and identify it. I'm
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: not trying to put you on the spot.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 9: Like when I ran for the first time, you know,
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 9: Speaker Banner had resigned and so it was in an
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 9: open seat, and you know, tons of people filed and
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 9: you had kind of the full spectrum of the Republican Party.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 9: And I say, it's really the Republican Party is called
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 9: a party, but the GOP should be really the GOC,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 9: the Grand Old Coalition. It is a huge range of
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 9: factions within the party. You have really moderate people that
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 9: are basically you know, capitalists and not you know, sort
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 9: of similar to Democrats, and almost every position they take.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 9: You have fairly libertarian folks, you have really socially conservative people.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 9: You have you know, this whole range of views within
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 9: the GOP, and that's where you flush them out. People
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 9: get mad because you know, for example, Lindsay Graham hasn't
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 9: found a worry doesn't like. You know, that's a different
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 9: view than you know, other folks within the party. You
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 9: air those kind of times in the in the primaries,
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 9: and people will get mad, Well you know we don't
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 9: have the right candidate in the fall. Well look the
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 9: one thing for sure, you know there might be a
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 9: range of views within the Grand Old Coalition here, but
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 9: the Democrat Party is now divided between Democrats and communists.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 9: You know, I mean, they're absolutely crazy over on a
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 9: big rain within the Democrat Party, and at least at
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 9: the federal level, the Democrat Party is controlled, is controlled
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 9: by that far left wing of the party. So you know,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 9: they have their primaries and generally the crazier person wins.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 9: We have our primary and a lot of times the
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 9: centrist tends to win. And so people say, well, why
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 9: is everything trending so far to the left. Well, that's
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 9: the center of gravity. Their agenda is driven by their
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 9: far left. Our agenda is often driven by the centrists.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 9: And so that's why I say it's kind of like Nascar.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 9: Everyone gets in the race and starts turning left. That's
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 9: the momentum towards it so we're Republicans if you want
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 9: the party to go. Really, the messages and the promises
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 9: that are made in the primary are the ones that
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 9: are most likely to shape. And I say, please send
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 9: reinforcements to me.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: I like that.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: Congress with Davids that could use reinforcements yesterday. I know
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: you're paying attention to this because I'm actiously your your
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: your response, well, anyway, get out and vote, please, Dear God.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: May fifth is rapidly approaching. We're down to a couple
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: of weeks, but actually less.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: Senate Republicans shot down another effort to pull the plug
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: on the Iran war. They didn't do an authorization for
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: use of military force that had been brought up, so
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: party line vote, with the exception Senator Ran Paul, who
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: did break ranks and decided he didn't didn't want the
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: effort to continue. Where are we on this, Congressman Davidson,
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: I guess you and I have talked about the quote
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: unquote legality of launching the attack in the first place.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: Was the threat eminent under the War Powers Resolution? Was
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: there's no declaration of war? Clearly? Was this a serious concern?
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: Is the clock ticking under the war Powers resolution. There's
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: no authorization for you military force, there's no declaration of war,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: and the effort to stop it from happening, yesterday's got
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: shot down. Are we in a state of quote unquote
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: legal wimbo? Here, Congressman Davidson.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 9: Here we are. And so look when I when I
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 9: first spoke on this, we had a immediately we had
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 9: a Warpower's resolution vote in the House, like the first
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 9: week that there was combat in Iran. And my point was, look,
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 9: it's it's not unjust. The Ayatola was an evil guy,
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 9: and the IRGC is an evil regime. They're imposing all
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 9: kinds of evil. Even if they were great five years ago,
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 9: which they never were. They've in the past year truly murdered, executed,
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 9: you know, thirty five to forty thousand of their own citizens.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 9: So why because they're holding onto power with force, right
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 9: they don't have. There's no civilian leadership in Iran. The IRGC,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 9: the Iranian Republican Guard Or is in control of that country.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 9: So even as there's been efforts in diplomacy, the civilians
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 9: will say this is a rational argument, let's agree to this,
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 9: and then they get back and they say, oh, no,
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 9: we can't keep that. They say, well, Trump is really
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 9: saying this. No, he's negotiating with civilians who don't have
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 9: the ability to commit for that country, right, and they'll
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 9: send it an IRGC person there. So IRGC is consolidating
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 9: even more of their power. And the Ayatola had authority
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 9: as a religious cleric within the country, so you control
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 9: a big level of influence within the population. The Sun
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 9: hasn't built that kind of thing, so it is leaving
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 9: the military really in even more power. And they know
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 9: that if they lose control of anything, they're all dead.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 9: So they're fighting, you know, desperate, desperately to stay in control.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 9: Wiping these guys out is not unjust the president going
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 9: to war somewhere without congressional authorization is not unprecedented, but
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 9: it is unconstitutional. So this is the war of choice.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 9: And you know that doesn't reflect anything on our military.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 9: I mean, these guys have been brilliant tactically and operationally.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 9: The strategy is the question, Hey, did we really do
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 9: this as well as we could or whatever? But this
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 9: is continue to bring up these war powers resolutions as
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 9: the president is actively initiating find in the conflict that
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 9: you'd say when you put this resolution on the floor
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 9: you want him to end, is undermining the ending of it.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 9: And so I think, like these I voted president the
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 9: last time they brought it up because it shouldn't even
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 9: be on the floor. That doesn't make it constitutional the
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 9: way that it's done, there's no point in continuing to
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 9: debate that. I think the next time that it would
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 9: be ripe for a resolution to come to the floor.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 9: The war Powers Resolution does not say war Powers Act
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 9: does not say that the president could do whatever he
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 9: wants for ninety days. Some people have applied that the
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 9: Warpower's Resolution says the president in the United States can
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 9: initiate combat action when there's been a declaration of war.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 9: There hasn't been. When there's an authorization a use of
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 9: military force, which is like a declaration of war, but
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 9: with like an actual mission statement. Right, you can do this,
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 9: but not everything. And that's generally how we've gone to war.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 9: If people say, well, we have had a declaration of
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 9: war since World War Two, No, but we've generally authorized it,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 9: like the Gulf War for example, with a mission and
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 9: a unlimited scope. And then you can go in exceident
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 9: circumstances to retel an imminent threat to the United States,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 9: so that you can do and the question as well,
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 9: And that's why Ulcy Gabbart, as the director in Actional Intelligence,
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 9: she put out what she had as an intelligent intelligence assessment.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 9: But she also put in that statement, Ultimately, the President
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 9: of the United States is responsible for determining what he
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 9: considers eminent, right, So Donald Trump felt like it was
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 9: an eminent threat to the United States. Therefore she's saying
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 9: he's justified and he can do it. I can say,
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 9: like we've seen a number of Intel briefings about what
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 9: the situation was before. I had two separate briefings aside
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 9: from the big briefings to Congress, and I could say,
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 9: I don't I think this is still a war of choice, right,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 9: and like say, not unjust, but I'm rooting for us
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 9: to wrap it up and minimize the cost and impact
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 9: and loss of life. I don't want the IRGC to
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 9: stay and charge in Iran. I hope they all just
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 9: vanished from the face of the earth tomorrow. These are
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 9: bad guys, that's not I don't know of any weapon
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 9: that's going to make that work, right, and before God
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 9: hasn't decided to do it.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: Let's stop and bring Congressman Davids back a comment or
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: two about what I have been calling a war of attrition,
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: this idea that the Iranian ports are closed, their economy
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: is effectively shut down, but they cut down the straight
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: of Horr Moves, which effectively impacts the entire globe to
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: a large degree. Who's going to win the battle of attrition?
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: A little bit more with Congressman Warren Davidson at seventeen
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: right now if you have KERCD talk station with some
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: quick words force Who's at station seventy one if you
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: have a KERCD talk station, Brian Timas with Congressman Warren Davidson,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: join this conversation as always and pivoting back over to
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: what I'm calling you a war of attrition right now.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: The Iranians obviously a block the Strait of horn Moves
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: that got mined. And guess what their military. Their navy
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: is not completely decimated. They have a lot of these
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: mosquito fleet boats, hundreds of these small fast attack boats,
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: which I guess even though they're small, they can commandeer
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: and take over container ships. Three of them yesterday. Apparently
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: we're done so by this fast attack boat attacks, and
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: we have shut down the Iranian port, preventing them from
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: engaging in economic activity. Generally speaking, some are suggesting, like
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: the International Monetary Fund said last week that if this
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: last months, the world's economy, the economic growth of the
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: entire world could drop two percent this year, which they
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: say is like global recession level a retreat. So I
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: guess the globe is feeling the pain obviously, but I
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: have to imagine the Iranians are feeling it so much
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: more because this is depriving them of almost every source
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: of cash they have. So who, in your mind might
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: win a battle of attrition if this continues.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 9: Congressman Davidson, Well, this session with the navy, to me,
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 9: is what I thought we should have done when negotiations failed.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 9: It's the use of our navy. Iran has really one
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 9: source of revenues oil, right, and the China has propped
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 9: them up. And well, this is a sort of you know,
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 9: not an engagement directly with China. But China is not
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 9: disinterested in this right situation, right, So I think the
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 9: navy kind of you don't have to control all of
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 9: the straight to limit Iran flow. Now, Ran is still
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 9: disrupting things, and we've you know, choked off a lot
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 9: of the flow. So even when countries have said, oh,
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 9: well this this ship, we've paid the toll, right, well
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 9: this oil is free in Iran is letting it go.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 9: What you got to do is say, yeah, don't do that,
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 9: because your ship still isn't going anywhere. So you can't
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 9: set a situation where Iran can run a toll booth
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 9: through the straight up hor moves and then get cash
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 9: that way, plus get cash for the oils that they're shipping.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 9: And I think that was a great move by President
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 9: Trump and the National security team to close off the
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 9: whole golf effectively. Now, once somebody navigates through the strait
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 9: and they're friendly and we're helping them facilitate that, but
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 9: you highlight the challenges. It doesn't take a lot to
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 9: stop an unarmed ship, and so Iran has still been
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 9: able to cause chaos and that level of chaos. Really
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 9: the big thing that's driving is once you get that
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 9: level of risk, insurance underwriters are like, well then steer
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 9: clear of there, right, No one wants to risk losing
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 9: these giant ships and the value of them. So the
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 9: insurance companies are like We're not going to ensure you
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 9: if you go into a war zone with this ship.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 9: So it's really cutting down commerce through the Persian Gulf region.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 9: And that doesn't just affect iranffects all of our allies
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 9: in the Gulf, you know. And and then when you
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 9: look at the amount we have a fair bit of
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 9: oil we export oil, even we're going to be less
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 9: affected than other countries around the world. All the Europeans
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 9: are affected. And that's why President Trump's so frustrated.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: It's like, you guys need the oil, and.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 9: You're sending no one to be helpful. Japan and South
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 9: Korea also need the oil, and you know, they're far
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 9: more limited in their capabilities to be helpful, and so
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 9: they've since said, you know, let us see what we
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 9: can do. Their initial reaction was we can't help either.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 9: So I think President Trump is really frustrated, like, we.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: Don't need oil.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 9: We're over here trying to contain Iran from getting a
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 9: nuclear weapon because you know, they're going to reach you
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 9: guys faster than they are reach the United States of America.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 9: And that's what makes it a world of choice. I mean,
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 9: the real dangerous threat from Iran. They are incredibly destabilizing.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 9: They post very soon serious. You know, they've caused combat
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 9: in the Middle East ever since they came into power
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 9: in seventy nine, and they genuinely do it through their proxies.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 9: They fund a moss They funded the ten to seven
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 9: massacre in Israel. They fund the Huthis who's been shooting
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 9: at ships across the Red Sea, you know, over on
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 9: the southern part of Saudi Arabia, the other side of
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 9: Saudi Arabia, they're shooting at ships. They're trying to cause
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 9: chaos through that. For ten years now, off the whose
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 9: and then HESB law has been a destabilizing force. In Iraq,
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 9: you had all these Shia militia groups she scenes or
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 9: the Iranians Sheites Shee Muslims versus Sunni Munklim Shehites are
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 9: the Uranian scenes are most everybody else in the Gulf.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 9: They had the Shite proxies in Iraq, and that's where
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 9: Tassam Sulimani was facilitating all the IDs. So if you
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 9: talk to any Gulf war about the idea of that
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 9: the ergyc is getting smoked. I mean they're happy to
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 9: see it more than anyone else, probably except maybe the
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 9: people inside are iran who's been massacred over and over
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 9: by the ERGYC.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: Well, clock is ticking. I guess we're gonna wait and
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: just keep our popcorn ot and figure out when it
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: all ends. If it ends, I can only hope it
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: happens soon, and I hope to the extent there's a
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: war of attrition that we're capable of winning and we
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: don't fundamentally corrupt and have our relationships globally deteriorated as
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: a consequence of this, Because again, when the world feels
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: pain is a consequence of the United States action. Whether
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: or not it's just and proper, which you and I
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: would agree it probably is, it doesn't change the focus
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: of the source of the problem, which was the launching
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: of the attack against the Iranians. I worry about that
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: on a broader scale, Congressman Davidson, No, I think you're
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: right to.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 9: Worry about it, and what the stakes are high. And
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 9: the founding fathers they had that debate. That's why they
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 9: put the Article one power to declare war in Congress.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 9: And there are no free wars. I mean, we're burning,
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 9: you know, one to two billion dollars a day on
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 9: this and I think the other thing is is like
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 9: Congress is supposed to reflect the world the people. You
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 9: don't want just a small sort of past of warriors
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 9: that wage war on behalf of the whole country. When
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 9: America goes to war. You want the country to go
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 9: to war, right And I think that's one of the
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 9: things where President Trump hasn't really built the support for
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 9: a bigger war. So we're hoping to have a small war,
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 9: limited engagement, and keep a RAN checked. And I think
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 9: that's the mission that they're working towards. I hope they're
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 9: very successful very.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: Soon, as do I and I appreciate your willingness to
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: come on the program each week. Congressrom Warren Davidson will
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: do it again next week. I hope you have a
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: great week between now and then, and good luck dealing
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: with all the issues on your plate right now. My friend,
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you're there to help out the local constituents.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: Gere doing a good job. We'll talk again next week.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: Have a wonderful weekend weekend, Sir sin Perian Beechwood at
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: round Bottom, chuck Ingram, fifty five KRC Talk Station, fifty
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: five KRCD Talk Station. Good morning to all the listeners
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: who were blocked from listening to the fifty five krssee
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: Morning Sure yesterday because the iHeartMedia app crashed across the nation.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: They fixed it yesterday and I'm glad it's back up
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: and running this morning. I love hearing from you five one, three, seven, four, nine,
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: fifty two to three talk com Fi fifty on AT
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: and T phones. Yesterday's content can be found at fifty
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: five cars dot Com. Included the big Picture with Jack
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: Adam in my conversation with Judge Napolitano. You have local stories.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: Artificial intelligence a subject of a meeting. A future daters
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: data center maybe coming to Mason County, Kentucky. Maysville. At
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: a planning meeting last night and the Commissioners Unit unanimously
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: approved the proposed development plans with conditions that if necessary.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: One of the conditions is the allowing of the existing
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: berm along Germantown Road to be extended, So a little
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: qualifier in there. Some residents are concerned the meeting was
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: rather short. They thought it was a foregone conclusion. I
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: guess there is a loss lawsuit out there. Max Moran,
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: one of the residents there. Thank you, Fox nineteen for
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: reporting that. Our lawsuit is never about saying no, it
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: was about trying to do good regulations. Several residents said,
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: though the development plans were approved with conditions, the lawsuit
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: is aimed at blocking the project all together, at least
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: until they're happy with how the project's being regulated. Max
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: Moran said, you know, because even now, I still believe
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: with all the stuff in this industry and all over
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: the nation, it could work where they are, It could
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: work where they are going if they are adequately regulated
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: that protect their community, but put in an area that
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: makes sense. Specifically, though, the Commission said Hey described as
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: making it abundantly clear in the meeting last night, the
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: plans are strictly preliminary and they could change as long
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: as the developer developers fulfill regulations. Coming to a theater
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: near you, you too will be able to decide whether
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: or not you want one of these in your backyard.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: I think they're coming everywhere city Hamilton. Brace yourself. More
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: than five hundred and fifty properties in the City of
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: Hamilton are going to be receiving an invoice, maybe for
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: hundreds of dollars, perhaps thousands of dollars because your sidewalk
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: is not serviced across six neighborhoods Hamilton County. Hamilton City
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: Council members unanimously passed the legislation under emergency measures yesterday,
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: approving billing for sidewalk, driveway curtain and street side concrete
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: work in Jefferson, North End, Lyndenwalld, New London, Milken and
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: Highland Park. Apparently, court to Hamilton Code, property owners are
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: responsible for the sidewalks. Engineering department annually inspects them, and
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: the department that issues notices that certain sections need to
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: be repaired. Property owners can either repair the damage themselves
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: or the city will perform them and then issue you
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: an invoice cord to city policy. If the invoices aren't
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: pavement in thirty days quote, the city will send the
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: invoice to Butler County. The county will add the amount
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: to your invoice to your property taxes as a special
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: assessment for five years. You decide to pay the invoice
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: as a special assessment over five years, you'll also have
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: to pay an additional interest charge based on the current
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: market rates. That's a lot of money right there, eight
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: hundred and eighty thousand dollars worth of bills apparently going

  Speaker 1: Chief Phones. Southern Poverty Law Center obviously facing tremendous mount scrutiny.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: They've been indicted for funding. I learned more details on
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: this the other day. I kind of had it if
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: confused as to what kind of shenanigans they were engaged in.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: But the actually, the way I understand this, they took
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: donations from people. And of course this is the hate
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: this is the hate map, folks. You know they're going
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: to go out in the world and find all all
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: the illustrations of hate groups out there, and yeah, turning
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: point USA hit them, made the list. Scratch your head
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: over that one. But they're the ones that are responsible
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: and behind this whole idea that white supremacy is the
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: biggest problem threatening our nation. That isn't the Iranians, it
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: isn't terrorist organization, it isn't organized crime of any other form.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: It isn't the organized crime in Minneapolis, for example, it's
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: white supremacist, and of course it is in the southern poverty.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: Low Center's best enterest to identify hate groups because that's
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: what keeps them going, that's what keeps the money coming in.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: So George Clooney will give a million dollars because they're
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: going after hate groups. And look, they've identified white supremacist groups. Well,
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: as it turns out that take they were taking that money,
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: as I understand it, and funding the very groups that
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: they claim to be going after. And as it was
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: explained like for example, the ku Klux Klan. I guess
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: before SLPC came out, like they had like five members left.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: You know, they withered on the vine because no one
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: embraced the kind of hate the client offers. Well except
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: for people who hate Jews. It's the same kind of
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: category of quality of human being. So you hate someone
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: just because they are fill in the blank. Okay, that's
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: a hate group. Clan obviously among those groups, maybe one
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: of the white, the most known. But what if they
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: really don't exist in any viable form, What if they
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: don't really represent a threat to any particular community, even
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: the normal communities that a group like the Clan would
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: go after because they just don't have the numbers, they
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: don't have the strength, they don't have the warm bodies,
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: because people reject their philosophy. Well, apparently the Poverty Law
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: Center was indicted because they were funding the very organizations
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: they could go after. And why would you do that, Well,
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: to improve the size and strength of the organization, to
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: maybe get them to engage in some outreach, to recruit
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: more crazy members, but fundamentally to keep the Poverty Law
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: Center open and give them a reason for existence. And
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: you heard Joe Biden. They did a loop of it
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: on Fox the other day. Joe Biden the thousands of
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: times he kept saying, you know what, the biggest threat
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: is the nation, the biggest, the biggest white supremacy. Where
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: did he get the fund facts for that? Yeah, the
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: Southern Party Law Center. So that house of cards, this
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: whole idea that we are a racist nation come crashing down.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: And a correlor to that, of course, black Lives Matter
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: movement and the anti police fervor that gripped the nation
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: for so long. Guess what turns out people in various
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: neighborhoods actually want the police in their neighborhood. Turns out
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: most of them really appreciate the work the police department's
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: done and miss them when they're not around. This whole
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: defunding is a resultant in well officers leaving the job,
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: retaking early retirement. You've heard the story over and over again,
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: and yes, it's happened to the city of Cincinnati, was
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: reported to Charmaine McGuffey. Hamilton County Sheriff's Office is increasing
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: deputy patrols and over the Rhine and adding more law
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: enforcement bodies. Why because the neighborhood wants it. We are
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: hearing from the public. She said, there's an uptick for
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: whatever reason, and we've all decided this can't stand. It's
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: not going to be allowed. The uptick, I do believe
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: is her referring to the violent outbreaks of juveniles taking
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: over streets, among other crime increases. We also have a
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: lot of shootings in downtown, some signal ninety nine suggesting
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: it's gang related. That's some conclusion that we hardly, if
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: ever hear from anybody in law enforcement, perhaps because the
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: city officials don't want you to realize we've got a
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: gang problem in downtown cinc Anti anyway. More crime, bad crime.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: People want more officers, and that's what's happening. She said.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: The driving factor is what police agencies are experiencing all
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: over the nation. We have low recruitment and thus that
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: affects our numbers out on the street. Wonder why you
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: have low recruitment. And I'm not casting aspersions on Charmi McGuffey,
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: even though I know she's a left winger, but low
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: recruitment is a consequence of the ripple effect of the
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter and people going out in accosting and
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: interfering with police officers doing their work. Iris Rawley. But
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: if you look behind the venear of the loud squeaky wheels,
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: which obviously got the defund police grease during this escapade,
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: you find out that they represent a minority of the
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: general public who appreciates and embraces law enforcement and wants
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: more of them in the neighborhood. Look, they're increasing deputy
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: patrols in downtown. They're putting more officers on the street.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: They're working with the State Highway Patrol on violent crime
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: operations and reduction. Will take the help from the Highway Patrol.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: House State Highway Patrol because well, we don't have enough
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: officers on the job. And if we hadn't gone through
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: this ridiculous police suck exercise and got manipulated in brainwashing
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: into the idea that all the police officers are inherently
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: corrupt and we need to go some alternative way of enforcement.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: You get non police officers on the street counseling themselves
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: out of a criminal act. No, you need law enforcement bodies.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: And your neighborhood's out in the world, wellciate their presence.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: New York City's also figured that out, which is kind
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: of comical as well, considering they elected Zorhan. The Kami
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: Mandami seven forty five right now, fifty five car CD
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: talk station. It's five three, seven four nine fifty five
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 1: hundred eight hundred eight two three talk calling Electric. That's
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: another number you want to call. If you have a
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: residence and you have a residential electric project, call call
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: an electric family interoperated. Since the talk station seven fifty
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: and fifty five ker CD talk station, Greg lost and
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: from the Buckeye Institute doing empower you seminar to night.
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: He's going to save me from myself, help me fill
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: in the time after the top of the our news
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: got an empower You seminar on property taxes. Yeah, ask
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: Greg what it's going to look like if the Constitutional
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: Amendment passes in the state of Ohio. That's one of
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: the topics he'd be willing to address tonight, So you'll
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: have that to talk about. But some of the reforms
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: already passed in Ohio what that might mean and lead to,
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: and also artificial intelligence. Note Tobby that Greg is astute
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: on and he will be speaking of tonight seven o'clock
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: and Power Youamerica dot org, log in from home or
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: show up. Greg will be on at eight oh five,
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: followed by Chris Gaffney. And the Parkinson's Spring Educational form
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: is coming up quickly and we have the twenty twenty
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: six it's called the Rock on the James Benefit Concert
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: for Parkinson's Support and wellness. Great organization for those struggling
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: with Parkinson's as well as their families, providing great resources
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: and some opportunities to get together with other people dealing
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: with parkinson So this is a fundraiser. Rock on the James.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: Get all the details at eight fifteen, and of course
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: it's Thursday. I heard media avi ed eschinexpert Jay Ratliffe
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: I mentioned New York City. Now, remember we have this
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: stupid woke I'm sorry, this stupid defund the police. Police
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: are terrible, Black lives matter, Let's get rid of all
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: of them. They all suck kind of attitude, which obviously
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: reduced the number of law enforcement officers out there. But
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: a corrolary to this woke perception of the criminal justice
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: system is, oh, I guess it's not their fault. So
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: if somebody steals something less than a thousand dollars or whatever,
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: we're just not going to prosecute them. Huh. I wonder
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: what that might lead to? Right, rampant shoplifting. Obviously out
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: in California, they had serious problems. What do businesses do?
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: They closed, They started putting things behind plexiglass, making it
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: the pain in all of our collective assets to buy something.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: It was all a product of the actions of woke
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: folks dealing with the criminal justice system in a poor way.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: So we need the police back that people are waking
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: up to that cold, hard reality. Hmm. And also now
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: prosecuting for maybe some of these smaller crimes. Back in
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, this is New York they of course ended
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: cash bail, like so many other woke states that would
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: be for most misdemeanors and non violent offendes, meaning defendants
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: were released to go out and commit another crime, which
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: many of them did over and over again recidivous. The
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: law has sinse ha ha been adjusted to allow courts
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: to impose bail for repeat retail offenders. Good, we stepped
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: back in the right direction. Bail must be good for
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: those people who can't mind the law or follow the law.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: What else did New York do? They also passed laws
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four after learning a lesson to make
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: it easier for police and district attorneys to go after shoplifters. No,
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: I know, we have a cap on what we can
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: prosecute for. It's misdemeanor cap It's got to be less
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: than a thousand dollars. So what they did seeing the
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: problem people going in and basically counting up the amount
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: of value of the things they were stealing to make
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: sure it's stay below a thousand, and therefore would be
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: a misdemeanor that wasn't even worthy of prosecution. The change
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: in the law, after waking up to the cold hard reality,
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: allows the investigators to aggregate thefts when you have a
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: repeat offender going in, they total the value of each
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: individual item over the different random, separate stealing events, and
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: once you reach more than one thousand dollars of subjects
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: or then charge with a felony grand larceny rather than
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: a misdemeanor, which means, yeah, they could go to big
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: boy jail. That's a step in the right direction. And
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: you know what it worked. Yeah, retail thefts in New
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: York down more than a little over twenty percent for
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: the first quarter of twenty twenty six compared to last
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 1: year and last year because the changes in the law
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 1: was better than the prior one. Retail thefts were down
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: fourteen percent last year. So I guess law enforcement the
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 1: traditional methodology law law enforcement bonds for recidibus, for example,
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 1: punishment for people who steal and otherwise break the law. Now,
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: get your hands around the juvenile crime problem we have,
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: which Charlotte Charmie McGuffey, going back to local is struggling with.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 1: And at least we had one Chicago Aldoman revealing the
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 1: reality of maybe what we've gone on in downtown Cincinnati.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: Their hands are tied. He's pointing out Chicago police they
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: can't do anything when it comes to these juvenile street takeovers.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: Their hands are tied, and how can you possibly prevent
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: this kind of happening if no arrests were made? They
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: had a south Side street takeover over the weekend this
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: past hundreds of cars. One individual blew up a car,
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 1: cars were on fire, massive damage, multiple cars more. The
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: thirty vehicles damage during the team takeover, no arrest made.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: Huh think we got back to get back to traditional
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 1: notions of law enforcement and actually using the juvenile court
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 1: system for what it's intended to do, which is and
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: includes punishing juveniles for their crimes, most utterly the ones
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: that refuse to follow the law. Seventy five fifty five

  Speaker 1: but also welcome back to the fifty five KRCY Morning
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: Morning show from the Buckeye Institute, Greg Lawson. Greg, good
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: to have you on this morning. I understand you are
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: also going to be speaking tonight.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 3: He actually am.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 2: I love empower You.
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 3: They do incredible work and great subjects, wonderful speakers, and
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 3: definitely happy to be coming down talking about an issue
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of folks here Ohio are pretty
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 3: interested in very.
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 1: That's an understatement, you know it, Greg. Property taxes is
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 1: what Greg's going to be speaking about, primarily just by
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: way of background for folks may up be familiar with
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: Greg's background senior Research fellow at the buck Eye Institute,
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: where he specializes in Ohio budget, local government, state local
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: tax education, and a munch of other things, serving as
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: the liaison to state government policymakers, educating them on thankfully
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: free market solutions for Ohio's challenges. It's got twenty years
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: experience working on ten state budgets and one of the
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: Ohio recognized experts on the subject. Also a frequent spear,
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: a speaker regularly quoted a media outlets, Ohio newspapers and
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: in national publications, so he's got the chops to deal
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: with this. My question to you're real quick here, Greg,
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: I'm a little confused by the empower You America website
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: which has both you and Christopher starting at seven o'clock.
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: Are are you speaking first or second? There's no way
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: you can both be talking at the same time.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 3: We're not speaking at seven. I actually about one hundred
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 3: percent sure, but I'm going to be there at seven,
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 3: and whether he goes or I go, We're I'm.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 1: Ready to rock at both subjects, by both topics and
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: both speakers obviously worth logging in Empoweroamerica dot org. So
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 1: what of property taxes? I Honestly, I'll tell you I
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: feel a little bit like impish or like a flying
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: the ointment that I almost want, almost because I appreciate
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 1: the complications and I don't want complications. But if the
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: Ohio voters approve the constitutional Amendment and eradicate property taxes
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: in the state of Ohio, I can only imagine the
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: chaosts that would ensue because almost everything funded in all
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 1: of the local governments is based on property taxes. How
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: would that be dealt with from your perspective, Greg, if
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: it went that way.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 3: Well, I think it'd be very difficult. First and foremost,
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 3: I mean it would be and I don't think that's
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 3: an exaggeration to say this the most radical thing that
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 3: has happened in the state of Ohio history, probably since
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 3: it actually became a state, because we do so much
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 3: here in Ohio that is funded through property taxes. Obviously,
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 3: schools get a lot of property tax but you also
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 3: have safety services. Those are the two big things that
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 3: people probably think about the most, but there's a whole
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 3: bunch of other services. Some types of local governments. You
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 3: live in a township, they are almost exclusively funded by
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 3: property taxes, and a lot of county services, senior services,
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 3: children's services, all of those kind of things are also
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 3: predominantly funded through property taxes. And just put this into
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 3: kind of a context, if you look at all the
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 3: property tax that are raised throughout the state of Ohio,
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 3: it's around twenty four billion dollars, which is more than
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 3: double what the state brings in through the state income tax.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 3: It is significantly more than what the state brings in
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 3: in the state sales tax as well. So essentially, if
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 3: you added the income tax and sales tax at the
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 3: state level, I think you're right around there, maybe a
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 3: maybe a little bit ahead. But basically that's everything that
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 3: the state does, and they are two main taxes, and
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 3: that's what's raised across the whole state through property taxes.
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 3: So that's not something that you're just going to flip
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 3: the switch and replace overnight.
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: Well, I know, and that's the train wreck that's going
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: to inevitably follow because it's going to require a lot
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: of changes. And one of the problems, at least in
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 1: so far as Donovan and Neil from Americans Prosperity has identified,
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: is Ohio apparently has a lot of local jurisdictions taxing jurisdictions,
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 1: lots of local governments and this tremendous amount of overlap,
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: and we did it a comparison. We were having a
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: discussion about this, like the number of local jurisdictions in
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: Florida versus Ohio. Florida of course has a lot for
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: fewer property and no property tax if I recall correctly.
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: But how if they can do it, how come we
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: is sort of the question that needs to be answered.
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: And his concern is that there are so many overlapping
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: good services and all these local governments that therein lies
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: the problem and you need to fix that by reducing
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: the number. I see that in and of itself as
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: an impossible challenge to overcome because everybody've used their local
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: governments as little feet them and they're not going to
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: give up their power and control. So is that even
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: an option?
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 3: Greg Well, I think in the long mint, it has
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 3: to actually think Donovan is a good friend is pretty
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 3: much spot on. It's something that I've been talking about
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 3: writing about at buck Guy Institute for actually well over
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 3: a decade. You really need to think about how we
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 3: are delivering services. We need to think about this in
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 3: the sense of making sure people get what they want,
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 3: because there are definitely services, especially in public safety and
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 3: obviously schools as well, that people really do expect, but
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 3: they want the service to be delivered effectively, efficiently, and
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 3: at as limited a cost clearly as possible. I think
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 3: there's ways we can get there because other states, typically
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 3: southern and western states, have a lot less layers of
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 3: local government. This is a little bit of a legacy
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 3: of how a lot of these Midwestern states like Ohio
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 3: were created. It kind of comes back to not to
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 3: go down the rabbit hole too far, but the Northwest
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 3: Ordinance and how we kind of created the first systems
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 3: of local government from townships and kind of building off
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 3: of there. And so what happened is we kind of
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 3: have this legacy that is a long standing one, and
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 3: some of these other states were basically built up and
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 3: built up their systems in a much different way. And
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 3: you know, that is something you can't just get from
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 3: point A to point C without getting to point B first.
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 3: But it's something we need to be doing. It won't
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 3: be easy, but it's something that we've been pushing the
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 3: legislation to do. They're starting to take a look at
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 3: some bills that can slowly move us in the direction
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 3: of getting more efficient.
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 2: In this space.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 3: We have a lot of villages in Ohio, some that
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 3: are in some cases below a thousand people that live there.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 3: They have an income tax, for example, but they don't
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 3: really necessarily do a bunch of services. They don't. In
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 3: some cases, they sometimes struggle to even get people to
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 3: run for office to fill out the village council, you know.
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 3: And yet these are out there, and you have to
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 3: ask yourself if they can't get elected officials or people
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 3: to even run, are they really delivering services to folks
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 3: or are they just a mechanism for collecting taxes and
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 3: that don't really go to what people want them to do.
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 3: It has to be done from the grassroots level. I
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 3: don't think the state can just impose this or anything
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 3: like that, but the state can facilitate looking at some
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 3: ways to do this, and there's some bills out there
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 3: that would help. We would be supportive of those. It's
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 3: something we need to look at. And what worries me
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 3: about just getting rid of the property taxes in total
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 3: is that you don't you may actually force some of
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 3: this conversation to happen. Yeah, in a way, that's not
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 3: very strategic. And that's one thing that always bothers me
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 3: is when you start doing things kind of slap dash
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 3: because you're in a crisis situation, you're not necessarily thinking
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 3: through everything as well as you should. We need to
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 3: be taking scalpels to this. We should have been doing
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 3: this years ago. By the way, Yeah, it's really a shame.
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 3: It's a shame we're having to have this conversation.
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 1: Well, Greg, I laughed as soon as you said that,
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 1: because you know, one of the points I almost wanted
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 1: to end on, because we're coming close to the end
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 1: of the segment, is you know, the Supreme Court here
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 1: in Ohio rule that our funding of public schools is unconstitutional.
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 1: It's based on property taxes. That was a couple of
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 1: decades ago, and I think you know it, I know it.
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 1: That hasn't changed.
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 3: Well, there have been a few things that have changed
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 3: in there. That's a whole complicated can of worms. Is
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 3: the get in. But at the end of the day,
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 3: here here's the thing. We need to be thinking about
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 3: how we delivered the services, and we need to be
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 3: thinking about what is delivering for the taxpayers and the residents.
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 3: A lot of times local government officials, and I get
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 3: it's human nature.
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 3: If you're an elected if you're a township trustee, you
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 3: get state you get state pension system, you get local
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 3: government paid insurance. You may have an incentive. And I'm
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 3: not trying to like cast negative light on people. There's
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 3: a lot of well meaning people who do good work,
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 3: but I think a lot of times they are also
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 3: self interested in don't want to see things go away,
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 3: so they don't really want to think about how do
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 3: we reform things. It's the way it's always been, and
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 3: people get very comfortable in their sort of patterns of behavior.
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 3: We need to start thinking differently or we're not going
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 3: to fundamentally solve the problem that's driving these property taxes.
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 3: And then if you get rid of them all overnight,
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 3: one or two things is gonna happen. You're either going
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 3: to have chaos, as you were mentioning, or you're going
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 3: to have super super high taxes in other ways, like
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 3: sales tax that would be doubling or more, which would
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 3: be a competitive disadvantage for the stay of Ohio. People
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 3: just shop in other states, which will happen guaranteed. I mean,
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 3: that's like you're gonna literally be hanging us. Every staying
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 3: around us will be hanging a sign on there say here,
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 3: come here and buy from our Costco, our Walmart, you know,
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 3: or higher income taxes.
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: Wow, Well break it all down tonight, Greg Lawson from

• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: a part of. Although I have no personal familial connection
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 1: with Parkinson's disease, I have witnessed and understand it's quite
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: a struggle and from my understanding and we're gonna find
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 1: it here for sure in a moment with Chris Kaffney
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 1: from the Parkinson Support and Want Us group. They do
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 1: a five k every year and it's just a great,
• 1:44:57

  Speaker 6: of educating folks in the community, both those with Parkinson's,
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 6: the people that love them, and the community at large
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 6: about the disease. And this spring forum, the Harvey Shayette
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 6: Spring Forum that's coming up on Saturday at the Manor
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 6: House in Mason is our premiere educational event. So all
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 6: the work that goes into Steady Strides in the Fall
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 6: manifests itself throughout the year, but in particular this particular event,
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 6: the Harvey Schayette Spring Forum.
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 1: So in terms of education, is this for folks who
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 1: sadly are now new to the whole idea of having
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 1: a Parkinson's diagnosis, or is this for literally any What
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 1: is the focus of the educational forum?
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 6: I might ask, Well, this year, the focus is navigating
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 6: the Parkinson's journey with purpose, courage and compassion. And so
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 6: it is for folks who are anywhere along the continuum
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 6: with Parkinson's, the folks that care for them, and again
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 6: folks who have an interest in learning more about Parkinson's.
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 1: And I understand at least I've been made away from
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 1: the Steady Strides Kevin Parkinson Support wellness in the services
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 1: and the support they supplied for supply throughout the year,
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 1: or rather, exercise is important if you are dealing with
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 1: Parkinson's disease. Have I got that right?
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 6: You absolutely have that correct. And that's another big part
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 6: of our mission is discovering and connecting folks with Parkinson's
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 6: two organizations that provide those Parkinson's specific exercise programs. This year,
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 6: our board has authorized us to provide about one hundred
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 6: and fifty thousand dollars in grants to those organizations that
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 6: provide that exercise so they can be certified in Parkinson's
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 6: specific exercise programs, have the equipment that they require, and
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 6: also to keep the cost low to our constituents.
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 1: Well, getting folks dealing with Parkinson's off the couch and
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 1: what and enjoying this exercise component with shared experience. That's
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 1: that support component that the Parkinson Support and wellness. And
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 1: you know, it's better to have people that you can
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 1: commiserate with and work with and provide you with an
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 1: incentive to actually get up and do something it's good
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 1: for you. So, you know, I salute all the work
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 1: that you do throughout the year. I understand we got
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 1: another event you want to mention two people about this.
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 1: It's Rock on the James Benefit Concert for Parkinson Support
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 1: of Wellness. When's this one?
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 6: That too happens on Saturday. It is not necessarily planned
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 6: that way every year, but it seems to work out
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 6: that frequently we picked the same day the Rock on
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 6: the James is presented by an individual, Dave Shields, who
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 6: lives in Independence, Kentucky, has been a musician his entire life,
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 6: and while he has Parkinson's, he's able to continue.
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 9: To play some great music.
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 6: Oh that's wonderful and annually what he pulls together is
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 6: a group of bands primarily from northern Kentucky, but from
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 6: around the area, and they are at.
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 1: The Thanksbury in south that's right, Southgatehouse.
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 6: South Gatehouse in Newport, Kentucky on Saturday evening. I think
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 6: the tickets are twenty five dollars and that concert is
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 6: to benefit Parkinson's support.
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 1: And wellness, so it's a big day for us.
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 6: It's sure about eight o'clock in the morning at the
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 6: Manor House in Mason and goes until midnight.
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 9: So we're having a good time this weekend.
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 1: You certainly will be, and I'll encourage all my listeners
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 1: to get all the information. Joe Streckers put it up,

  Speaker 1: Chris Brother, I hope you have a great event this weekend,
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 1: my friend.
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 6: Thank you sir, and look forward to seeing Paul.
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 1: Jason and a iHeartMedia aviation expert Jay Ratliffe joins many
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 1: of the iHeart stations, none of which were streaming yesterday.
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 1: By the way, Jay Ratliffe is always great having you
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 1: on the program. Welcome back, my friend.
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 4: Oh, pleasure to be here.
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 1: Fuel price is going up. We saw that was a
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 1: Luftons that canceled twenty thousand plus flights into October because
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 1: of the rising jet fuel costs. Of course, the straight
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 1: up horror Moves being shut down is behind all this.
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 1: It looks like United they're claiming that fares are going up.
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 1: I guess fuel priceshn Jay.
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, additional twenty percent. The airlines continue to raise
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 4: bag fees and this is something that's not only I
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 4: mean we're knocking at the door of the summer travel
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 4: season begins at the end of next month with the
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 4: Memorial Day weekend, and as this conflict continues, what's going
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 4: to happen is discussions over affecting summer travel is going
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 4: to kind of transition into affecting fall travel and winter travel.
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 4: So this is gonna be something that could be a
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 4: challenge for the airline industry for the foreseeable future, which
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 4: is why people that have not yet bought their fall
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 4: or even next year's tickets for January February, if they're
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 4: able to do so, or considering doing just that, trying
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 4: to lock in the fairs as much as they can
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 4: to guard themselves against future fare increases. It's got so
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 4: bad in Europe that some of the airlines there have
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 4: actually gone back to customers who previously bought their tickets
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 4: paid for their luggage, saying, oh, we need more now
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 4: because of horizons costs. Yeah, we've never seen that before,
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 4: so passengers aren't shall we say two extremely happy with
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 4: that regard.
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 1: I've got two words in a happy birthday. I mean,
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 1: we closed the deal. We have a contract bought and sold.
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 4: Sorry, the word contract is the exact thing that exists
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 4: between the consumer and the airline, and they've got tons
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 4: of legal uh you know uh in their conditions of
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 4: contract wording that proves the fact that it's just that
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 4: so for sure, and that this is obviously the biggest
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 4: issue right now facing airlines. And as they increase their
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 4: bag fees, we know when fuel prices dropped, they're not
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 4: giving us this money back, so that revenue stream is
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 4: going to remain consistent.
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 1: Well, I suppose on some level. I mean logistically it
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 1: may be difficult, but you could Well it would probably
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: cost you more to mail the clothing to your destination,
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 1: but I guess you can choose not to pack extra
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 1: bags to save some money. But you can't get around
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 1: the airline ticket itself. So it says, well, but.
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 4: There is something you can do. A lot of people
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 4: have really resisted these airline credit cards. And I have
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 4: a Delta Skymile or card through American Express that you know,
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 4: as I charge, I get mine. Yeah, And a lot
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 4: of these different airlines have something that if you have
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 4: their card, many times your first bag or two is
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 4: free when you fly. So some people are saying, wait
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 4: a minute, I could get this airline credit card that
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 4: might cost me ninety nine bucks a year. I fly
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 4: three times a year, I check two bags a year.
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 4: My bag fees could be four hundred bucks. So if
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 4: I get the card, I'll say three hundred dollars a year.
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 4: So there's some people that are saying, look, you know,
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 4: I don't like the card for the card's sake, but
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 4: if I can have it, use it, you know, keep
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 4: the balance of zero, what have you. Then, yeah, I've
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 4: got something in my pocket that can help guard against
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 4: some of these additional costs. And yeah, so passengers are
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 4: exploring all kinds of options, and that's one that they
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 4: certainly can well.
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 1: Going back to buying early the topic as you have
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 1: it framed in my notes here, United Airlines summer fares
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 1: might increase. That suggests they haven't yet done. Is it
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 1: too late to assuming they don't try to reneg on
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 1: the contract you've entered into with them? Is it too
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 1: late to take advantage by someone buying a ticket now
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 1: for say flight now fly next spring?
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 4: We you can most time eleven months or so as
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 4: soon as you can end up buying your tickets. And
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 4: some fairs were already have already been adjusted up over
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 4: the last few weeks. Airlines were quick to do that
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 4: with regards to the rising fuel costs. And you know,
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 4: I was talking about an additional and you always say might.
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 2: Before you do it.
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 4: You know, we might be forced to do this.
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, we have to do it right.
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 4: It's they're just ripping the band aid off slowly. But
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 4: it's it's like airlines and companies that say they might
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 4: be forced to file bankruptcy. They're they're giving the word out, Hey,
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 4: all options are on the table, and they're not good.
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 4: So when they say might, that to me means just.
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 1: As much as it's going to happen, it's going to
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 1: app's gonna yeah, okay, you can't unring the bell of
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 1: the conflict and the global repercussions fuels going up, It's
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 1: going to happen. All right. Let's find out a spirit
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 1: Airlines a well too big to fail? How is it
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 1: that it might be qualifying for a rescue package from
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 1: the government. Jay's going to let us know coming up next,
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 1: say thirty five right now, and I get to mention
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 1: Galaxy Concrete Solutions. I had mentioned Rydos shield before he
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 1: talks station.
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 2: Have you ever been in the cockpit before a.
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 1: Thirty nine fifty five KCD talk station Jay Radliffs us
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 1: I heart media aviation expert. We get the blessing of
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 1: him every Thursday for a few segments. Pivoting away from
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 1: well fuel prices going through the roof? What about Spirit
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 1: Airline has been having some problems? Are are they going
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 1: to get a bailout from the government day. I'm kind
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 1: of puzzling about this one.
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 4: Well, there's not a single problem on the planet our
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 4: president can't solve. So when this crossed his desk, he said,
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 4: I think we can help out. So there's a possibility
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 4: that Spirit could get a five hundred million dollars bailout
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 4: or something.
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 2: We'll have to wait and see.
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 4: Or President Trump has said, look, or you know, maybe
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 4: some buyers could come in and types of things. Again,
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 4: he's trying to help fix the problem. The issue is,
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 4: if Spirit were to get five hundred million dollars, look
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 4: at your watch, it would last about six months because
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 4: the fuel prices being what they're they're at right now,
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 4: the operating expenses of Spirit and everything else, it's not
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 4: going to be something that would pretty much get them
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 4: over the bridge. They would probably need more money down
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 4: the road, So I would be surprised if we ended
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 4: up going that route, not totally shocked, but because it's
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 4: not the norm. Nimally, we let businesses do what businesses do.
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 4: If you're successful, you succeed. If you're not, you fail. Certainly,
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 4: there's a great deal of optimism on the behalf of
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 4: investors now thinking that the airline might be saved. Goodness,
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 4: their stock price Monday was twenty two cents a share,
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 4: and I think yesterday at one point he was up
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 4: to two dollars and forty five cents a share. I
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 4: think it dropped back about dollars fifty But the issues
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 4: are still there. And sadly, since we've got this fuel
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 4: crisis that could last easily until the end of the year,
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 4: how much help would Spirit need between now and then
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 4: they ended the year last year, I want to say
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 4: round numbers, maybe three hundred and fifty million dollars, and
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 4: they're looking at spending an additional three hundred and fifty
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 4: million dollars this year in fuel cost alone.
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 2: So it's it's difficult.
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 4: They're trying to make the necessary changes and brand. They
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 4: just had one problem after another. They had to ground
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 4: a good percentage of their fleet because they had Pratt
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 4: and Whitney engines on them, and the Pratt and Whitney
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 4: engines were having issues, so they could not use those
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 4: silver revenue tubes. These brand new airplanes with these great
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 4: you know, the Pratt and Whitney engines on them. They
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 4: should have ge engines that would have saved them, but
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 4: they weren't able to use that percentage of their fleet
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 4: for an extended period of time. So they've had one
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 4: bad issue after another that just continues to plague them.
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 1: Well, going back to the more fundamental thing, I don't
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 1: you know, Donald Trump can do it to the hell
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 1: he wants, whether I agree with it or not, but
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 1: that's taxpayer dollars. He's going to unilaterally decide to give
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 1: five hundred million dollars to a single company out there
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 1: in the world, privately owned well I mean, I mean,
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 1: I'm hearing listeners right now going, wait a minute, what
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 1: about my business? Where do we get my hand on
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 1: the cookie jar?
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 2: Exactly?
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 1: It reminds me of the Browns getting six hundred million
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 1: from the Cleveland Are from the unclaimed funds here in
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 1: the in the state of Ohio, you know, and that
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 1: you're like, wait, a minute, we had one of those. Yeah,
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 1: and they're just taking money out of and randomly handing
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 1: it to the Cleveland Browns. That's not right. But does
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 1: he have a slush fund? I thought power of the
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 1: purse was with Congress. Doesn't Congress have to specifically allocate
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 1: and expenditure like this?
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 3: This is great?
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 4: They better, they better, But you know, we'll see what happens.
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 4: But again, the president talks like the President talks, and
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 4: sometimes you know, he hits the ground running, sleeps an
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 4: interruption to his day. So he's always looking for the
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 4: next challenge. And you know he doesn't want Spirit to fail.
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 4: None of us do, because if any low cost carrier
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 4: fails to survive, it means the existing seats that are
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 4: in those markets are going to see an increase in price,
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 4: and we don't want that. Low cost carriers. Ever since
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 4: the days of deregulation, Thank you Jimmy Carter for that,
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 4: By the way, everything from that point forward has been
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 4: competition has dictated the success or failure of airlines, and
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 4: we want as many low cost carriers as we can
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 4: because that's why I would not want to see an
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 4: American United merger, because if that ever were to come about.
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 4: You're talking about a reduction in the overall seats significantly,
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 4: and we would see fewer airlines, we would see fewer
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 4: available seats, and we would end up seeing a rise
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 4: in airfares as a result. I just yeah, so it'll
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 4: be interesting to see what's going to happen. But yeah,
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 4: Spirit has been on financial life support, filing for two
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 4: bankruptcy filings in a period of about eighteen months rstly
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 4: because they're having a very very difficult time right now
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 4: with the drop in demand for leisure travel to make
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 4: it well.
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 1: I guess would that be rewarding incompetence or is a
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 1: lot of this out of spirits you know, business model
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 1: hands in other words, they're free of criticism. But nonetheless,
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 1: these you know, black clouds came over and impacted Spirit
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 1: Airlines business model. So it wasn't their fault they collapsed
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 1: and went bankrupt twice. Are they worthy of a bailout?
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 1: I mean fundamentally.
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 4: I mean, when we look at and how they've done
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 4: business in the past, their margin, their profit margin was
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 4: very narrow, and you had, as with most airlines, a
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 4: very thin distance between success and losing money profit and
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 4: failure and One of the things that they weren't real
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 4: quick at doing is a lot of their competition was
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 4: coming up with the premium seats where they could charge
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 4: a little bit more, give a little bit more leg room,
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 4: something that is really flourishing with a lot of the
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 4: other low cost carriers. They were kind of late to
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 4: the table with that, and as a result, they were
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 4: prevented from generating that additional revenue that I think would
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 4: have helped. And believe me, that adds up quite a
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 4: bit of money when you see that more and more
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 4: of these airlines, especially the low cost carriers, add these
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 4: comfort plus seats that have the additional leg room that
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 4: people are more than willing to spend a few extra
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 4: dollars to sit in because they're far more comfortable. They
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 4: were kind of late in getting that together. And you know,
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 4: one of the things that Spirit continued to do is
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 4: they were looking at spreading and trying to to grow
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 4: and grow and grow, and that business model's working good
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 4: when the demand is high. When things start to reverse
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 4: and trend, yeah, the music stops quickly and you're scrambling
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 4: for a chair. Spirit in Frontier would have been a
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 4: perfect merger. Years ago. The two complimented each other's route schedule,
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 4: and had Spirit simply gone through with that, it would
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 4: have been something that would have saved their airline. Instead,
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 4: Jet Blue came calling saying we're going to give you
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 4: more money. Spirit looks at Frontier and says, forget it,
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 4: not interested anymore. Jet Blue merger falls through, not approved.
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 4: Spirit goes back to Frontier, asking are you still interested
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 4: in the merger? Frontier says, make you know?
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 3: So you know?
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 2: Again.
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 4: Spirits out there just kind of floating on the oceans
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 4: by themselves, absent of any real help.
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 1: I don't want to see a business go under it.
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 1: But then again, I don't think it's government's role to
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 1: bail people out or businesses in total agreement there. I
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 1: know those safe ground there with you. iHeart MEDIAVA. Since
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 1: for Jay Ratliff coming up, is it still safe to
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 1: fly out there? Within a short period of time, planes
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 1: nearly colliding over in Nashville and then over to JFK
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 1: where yeah, planes nearly flew into each other more with
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 1: Jay ratlif at eight forty five right now fifty five
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 1: KRCD talk station, fifty five krc station Hey forty eight
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 1: to fifty five KRCD talk station. One more segment with
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 1: iHeart media aviation expert Jay Rattlift. Okay, if I was
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 1: on the plane, I think maybe my shorts might need
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 1: to be changed, Jay Rattliffe. Near collisions in air, we
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 1: have two of them. Let's start in Nashville where apparently
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 1: two Southwest Southwest Airline planes nearly ran into each other
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 1: in flight. How close at JAY.
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 4: Five hundred feet No, we had two Southwest flights parallel runways.
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 4: One was coming into land let's say, on the left runway,
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 4: and they had to abort their landing. They were getting
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 4: permission to proceed bank right unfortunately, which was putting him
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 4: in the direct path of the departing Southwest flight. By
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 4: the time the air traffic controller caught the mistake, he
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 4: ordered evasive maneuvers to occur. Fortunately, we have an onboard
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 4: traffic collision avoidances some TEA casts that kick them on
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 4: both aircraft, giving both crews instructions. They deviated got out
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 4: of each other's way thanks to that technology. The FAA
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 4: is investigating that. We had the one I believe a
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 4: jfk is three hundred and fifty feet separation where we
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 4: had again to airplanes that coming dangerously dangerously close together.
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 4: So we're not only seeing that the number of these increase,
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 4: we're also seeing the closeness of how these close these
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 4: aircraft are coming tend to be getting closer and closer,
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 4: and Bryant, the FAA is scrambling right now to investigate
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 4: these and provide answers such as is this simply a
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 4: matter of not having enough air traffic controllers. If that's
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 4: the case, then I look to the FAA to do
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 4: what they've done before, and in certain parts of the country,
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 4: say we're going to reduce the flight activity by ten
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 4: to fifteen percent, whatever takes, so that we can minimize
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 4: the traffic flow to make it easier for air traffic
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 4: controllers to do their job. Now, we'll have to wait
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 4: and see if the fa does that. Typically, sadly, stupidly enough,
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 4: it normally requires an accident before we make the changes
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 4: that need to be made. But I think that we're
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 4: seeing enough of these that we've got to do something,
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 4: And certainly in the Northeast where we've got some of
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 4: these issues, if it is a matter of staffing, they
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 4: have to respond, because it's going to take four to
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 4: five years for us to get the air traffic controllers staffed,
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 4: where everybody is where they need to be, and so
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 4: what do you do between now and then?
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 1: That's a great question. That's one I want to follow
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 1: up on if they have to, if they're forced to
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 1: reduce the amount of planes coming in out of any
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 1: in and out of any given airport, I think, you know,
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 1: like Atlanta's airport was one of the busiest in the
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 1: entire world, Chicago is always extraordinarily busy when you see
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 1: the number of flights in and out. But they're hubs.
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, how could you mean that would interfere with
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 1: the effective operation of the airlines? Would it?
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 2: Not?
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 1: Going back to business models, how would you ever cut back?
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 4: Well, what happened was in the last fall, and we've
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 4: had a couple of times last year and the year
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 4: before where the FA has gone to airlines in the
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 4: busy Northeast corridor saying just that we need to cut
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 4: back ten percent, and airlines did to their credit. And
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 4: of course you've got the hub at JFK with American Airlines,
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 4: you have a Delta hub there. You also have the
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 4: United hub obviously in Newark that's there. So you've got
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 4: three main thriving hubs that are distribution centers that the
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 4: airlines look at, and they did just that. They reduced
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 4: the amount of flight activity, and a lot of times
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 4: the airlines will say, Okay, we'll increase the flights out
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 4: of Chicago or Houston or Atlanta to make up for
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 4: not having the ability to connect people on international routes
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 4: through the busy Northeast corridor. So we've done it before,
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 4: and airlines have responded before, so we've proven that we
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 4: can do it before. And sometimes it's just not the
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 4: size of the airport, Brian. A lot of times it's
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 4: just the number of air traffic controllers at that airport,
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 4: and in the Northeast on a good day, with that
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 4: close corridor, we have a hard time, which is one
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 4: of the reasons that we need the updated technology. And
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 4: it was great to hear the update from Sean Duffy
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 4: this week saying that you know they're getting the money
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 4: that they need to begin the process of getting everything updated. Yes,
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 4: getting away from the floppy disk and everything else that
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 4: we're currently using. But if President Trump is successful in
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 4: doing this and getting aviation staffed with air traffic controllers
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 4: and getting the technology upgraded, tore it needs to be
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 4: something that's not happened in more than fifty years. His
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 4: stamp on that business, that industry is going to be
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 4: felt for the next twenty years. That could easily be
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 4: the most important thing he does as president, given how
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 4: important aviation is to the economic health of our community
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 4: and the world, and with how fast we're expecting it
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 4: to grow over the next twenty years.
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 1: Well hopefully even though it's going to take five years ago,
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 1: he'll still get credit for it after he is not no, no, no,
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 1: I know, not happen. Yeah right, yeah, well you know, yeah.
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 3: I got it.
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 1: I have to ask this question because you know, I'm
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 1: freaked out. Three hundred and fifty feet Okay, First off,
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 1: what's the closest safe distance they're allowed to fly? It
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 1: to close near each other. But the other thing is
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 1: this warning system that went off? Does that warning system
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 1: tell the pilot which way to peel off? Okay? Good,
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 1: I feel bad.
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 4: And you probably heard this system being tested. When you
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 4: get on a plane and in the cockpit here they
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 4: pull up, pull up, that's the that's the t cast
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 4: system being being being tested. And what would happen? And
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 4: when you have two aircraft that are approaching that close,
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 4: the t cast system comes into play and it tells
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 4: one one aircraft crew descend the other one to us
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 4: and and it sends them in opposite directions. Crews are
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 4: taught immediately when they hear that to immediately respond if
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 4: they do, and we've seen obvious evidence of that of late.
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 4: But I mean, there's times you've got to have a
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 4: mile separation mile separation. It depends on where the aircraft
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 4: is at at the time and when you start seeing
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 4: mistakes being made. And many times these are human air
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 4: where it's either pilot or air traffic controller. You've got
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 4: scenarios where that that safety buffer that we have built
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 4: in is really being tested. And it's just I hate
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 4: to say that, you know, with lifting batteries, I feel
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 4: like we're on borrow time on some of these situations
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 4: with the close calls at airports, or maybe we don't
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 4: have the adequate staffing same sort of situation, And it's
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 4: very unsettling because everything else makes aviation incredibly safe, the
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 4: training that the officers go through, the men and women
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 4: that fly, the technology that's at their disposal, either air
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 4: traffic control on the ground, we've got you know, a
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 4: lot of things. But it's just we still still having
• 2:08:51
  Speaker 4: these issues and the challengers are there, certainly for the
• 2:08:53
  Speaker 4: Federal Aviation Administration.
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 1: All right, in ten seconds, can you tell us how
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 1: the hub Lay situation is up there today? Day right, left,
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 1: tell you too.
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 2: It's great.
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 4: Just don't go to Salt Lake City and you're gonna
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 4: have a good day.
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hopefully you have enough air traffic controllers. Jay Ratliff,
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 1: love you, brother. We'll do this again next week. Have
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 1: a great week, my friend.
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
