21
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 4: Remember City of Cincinnati, it's going to have the reparations

22
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 4: program release of pushing forward with it five million dollars

23
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 4: so people can acquire a house or home improvements or something.

24
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 4: And it is with I can't even believe I'm reading

25
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 4: this so on the heels of that recent announcement. It

26
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 4: wasn't that long ago when they just said this. We're

27
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 4: now facing budget cuts. The city leaders are in the

28
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 4: early stages of dealing with a new budget and they're

29
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 4: talking about a five percent cut across the board. Public

30
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 4: safety is being implemented, including police and fire. Public safety

31
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 4: been a big problem for us lately. Oh look, the

32
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 4: Ohio legislature introduced Holly's Bill. Holly, the woman that got

33
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 4: brutally attacked in the beat down. Get to that in

34
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 4: a minute. So that is a result of problems in

35
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 4: downtown Cincinnati with crime. That resulted in an infusion of

36
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 4: cash for the police department to go ahead and put

37
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 4: up some cameras that have been promised forever. You remember

38
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 4: that discussion anyway, So you had that five point four

39
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 4: million dollars for public safety.

40
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: It helped.

41
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 4: Ken Kober was interviewed by WCPO, and I'll give him

42
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 4: credit for doing the reporting on this because we need

43
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 4: local reporting. So we can find out about our budget

44
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 4: problems in downtown Cincinnati. He pointed out, you know, just

45
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 4: to have increased visibility, it did make an impact. Staffing

46
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 4: still a problem. Red flag which has been waiving for

47
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 4: how many years now? He pointed out, and he said, listen,

48
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 4: we're still one hundred officers short. We have officers leaving weekly.

49
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 4: He did acknowledge it just graduated a class of fifty four,

50
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 4: which is a start. It will be impactful, but it

51
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 4: is going to close the ranks. And here we are

52
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 4: now talking about a five percent budget cut, and of

53
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 4: course stayed in the obvious Kober said, listen, if they

54
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 4: choose to make these budget cuts, as they have to

55
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 4: understand that safety will be impacted. Jeff Cameron had this

56
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 4: to say, we don't know at this juncture. We will

57
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 4: see where our police and our fire come back and

58
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 4: where they think they will make cuts if they were

59
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 4: looking at five percent cut will look like I know

60
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 4: that does not sound grammatically correct. I'm just reading it.

61
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 4: Can I try a stab at that? Again, we don't

62
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 4: know at this juncture. We will see where our police

63
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 4: and fire come back at where they think they will

64
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 4: make cuts if they were looking at five percent cut

65
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 4: will look.

66
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: Like Joe, does that make sense to you?

67
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 5: Now?

68
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 4: Thank you, listen, I needed a reading here. It is

69
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 4: five o'clock in the morning and I'm not quite awake yet.

70
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 4: And he finished with and then that will be up

71
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 4: to the manager, city manager or council to determine whether

72
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 4: those cuts are feasible. So these cuts aren't locked in stone.

73
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 4: But you know, this obviously reflects that there's a budget

74
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 4: problem in downtown Cincinnati. Pivoting back to why then would

75
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 4: they start a brand new program using five million dollars

76
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 4: from I guess the general fund? Oh no, they said

77
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 4: it was going to come from the marijuana proceeds. Marijuana

78
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 4: proceeds which they are entitled to arender the way the

79
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 4: laws written, which I think should go to the general fund.

80
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 4: So basically, yes, it is a source of revenue for

81
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 4: the city, but in the infinite wisdom of the Vice

82
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 4: Mayor of the City of Cincinnati, we're going to take

83
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 4: that money and we're going to put it toward a

84
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 4: new program. Don't have a problem with government blowed. Government

85
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 4: tries to take on every single damn obligation that we

86
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 4: can even come up with, and sometimes they make some up.

87
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 4: We need a government program. Yeah, we need to fund

88
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 4: it too. And meanwhile, the police are already struggling with

89
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 4: low numbers.

90
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: Neighborhoods are hemorrhaging.

91
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 4: Crime a problem, and you would think a responsible council

92
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 4: would look at the fundamental reason why are they there?

93
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 4: And what is the basis of government involvement? Roads, bridges, infrastructure,

94
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 4: public safety. If you deal with all of those, you're

95
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 4: gonna have a well oil machine that people will gravitate to. Wow,

96
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 4: look what a beautiful, clean, safe, low crime, well paved street.

97
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 4: Environment goes back to that broken windows theory. Listen, if

98
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 4: you fix the broken windows and you put a coat

99
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 4: of paint on it, the place looks better. People feel

100
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 4: better about their environment and more willing to well invest

101
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 4: in and be proud of it and fight to keep

102
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 4: it that way. Doesn't that theory sort of move beyond

103
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 4: just one little neighborhood and one little block or something

104
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 4: into an entire city? Broken windows, We got them everywhere

105
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 4: in the form of potholes, infrastructure declining, and yes, that

106
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 4: pesky problem with crime. Oh look, two guys pissed off

107
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 4: at each other get all shooty at a nightclub. Hundreds

108
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 4: of people standing around that's a crime thing.

109
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 5: Now.

110
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 4: Fortunately the police were close by. But you know, ill

111
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 4: the States a problem. We've got a lot of criminals

112
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 4: out there, and you know, something needs to be done

113
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 4: about them too. Finally, people maybe waking up to the

114
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 4: reality of the bond problem we have in downtown Cincinnati.

115
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 4: Even a mayor have to have Parovall. Just the other

116
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 4: day we talked about this yesterday. I'm shocked, shocked to

117
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 4: find there's a low bond here. Fifty thousand dollars bond

118
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 4: for a guy who started opening fire in a crowded,

119
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 4: crowded room. Yeah great, especially since he had a criminal

120
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 4: record and he had a firearm under disability, which means,

121
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 4: of course he was not allowed to lawfully carry a firearm.

122
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 4: Fifty grand. Yeah, that's a problem. Even mayor have to

123
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 4: have Parovall recognized it. So we have a problem the

124
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 4: judicial system generally speaking. Now, can he wave a magic

125
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 4: wand and tell the judges what to do and change

126
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 4: their mindset from liberal, woke criminal philosophy to something more

127
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 4: more aligned with the reality of the justice system, which

128
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 4: is you need to be tough on crime as a

129
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 4: deterrent to stop other people from doing it.

130
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: No, he can't.

131
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 4: And that's not a budgetary issue. I will acknowledge all

132
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 4: the money in the world can't change the mind of

133
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 4: a judge, unless, of course, you're talking about campaign funds.

134
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 4: Campaign funds that go to support judges who are going

135
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 4: to be tough on crime. That might sway the voters

136
00:06:55,760 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 4: in downtown Cincinnati. Although I say that almost laughing. But

137
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 4: budget problems a wake up call for everybody. And oh

138
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 4: don't elections have consequences, Yes, they certainly do. Coming up

139
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 4: with the fitty five carre and that went off a

140
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 4: tangent because I was talking about Todd Zenzer about reparations.

141
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 4: He's at eight oh five here on the fifty five

142
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 4: KRCY Morning Show. Of course, it's Thursday slash Friday Eve.

143
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 4: I heeard media aviation expert Jay Ratliff, and boy, don't

144
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 4: we have some fun topics to talk about with Jay,

145
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 4: especially one that I think I'm going to embrace. Not

146
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 4: that I fly very much. I really don't like flying,

147
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 4: not because I'm afraid of it, just because it sucks.

148
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 4: Generally speaking, United Airlines has a new policy.

149
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: I love this.

150
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 4: You gotta wear headphones or earphones with your device or

151
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 4: you're gonna be chucked off the airplane. So for all

152
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 4: you rude people out there to think it's aokay to

153
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 4: have your volume blasting in your cell phone while we

154
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 4: are all in the same room as you, that would

155
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 4: impact you. Although you know, I wish people had a

156
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 4: greater sense of awareness about that situation anywhere. I was

157
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 4: sitting around waiting for my doctor's appointment one day and

158
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 4: there was somebody in the corner and that thing was

159
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 4: blasting loud, staring at it, you know, not even paying

160
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 4: attention to the rest of the room. Everybody's kind of

161
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 4: staring at this person.

162
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: What's with you?

00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,840

Speaker 4: is the topic of tomorrow or tonight's. Rather it is

169
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 4: the fifth of March.

170
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:30,280

175
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 4: join us to give us a little insight into the

176
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 4: empower you seminar in dust and Goldie. He is the

177
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 4: owner of Goldiebeef Farms, which is located in Clarksville, Ohio,

178
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 4: Goldiebeef North Farm, So he knows what he's talking about

179
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 4: local beef. That at seven forty oh. Look who's on

180
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 4: the rundown this morning. I knew this was coming, and

181
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 4: what perfect timing, Congressman Warren Davidson. And well, with the

182
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,599
Speaker 4: Senate vote yesterday, I think it's going to make it

183
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 4: a lot easier. The Senate would not refuse, or did

184
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 4: not well limit Donald Trump's efforts in Iran, rejecting a

185
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 4: resolution see can limit his ability to conduct military operations.

186
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 4: The vote forty seven in favor, fifty three opposed shot

187
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 4: down in flames. And of course there's going to be

188
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 4: a vote, maybe as early as today, another war powers

189
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 4: resolution similar to the one that got shot down yesterday,

190
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 4: expected to be voted on today. Congressman Davidson will of

191
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 4: course be able to vote on it or not, and

192
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 4: it is already expected to fail. So I know, Congressman

193
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 4: Davidson had previously expressed a desire to reign in Donald

194
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 4: Trump's authority. Ex you know, obviously Congress has the power

195
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 4: to do that. We'll see if he's changed his opinion

196
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 4: this morning and what his reaction is to the Senate

197
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 4: vote yesterday. And of course, the whole idea seems to

198
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 4: be predicated on the red line for many in Congress,

199
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 4: the boots on the ground thing. Wait a minute, are

200
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 4: we going to commit troops on the ground, Inerran? WHOA,

201
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 4: that's going to require some congressional involvement, which you'd think

202
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 4: that dropping a bunch of bombs and starting a war

203
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 4: with a foreign country might require congressional involvement too, But

204
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 4: this is where we find ourselves right now. So Congressman

205
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 4: david and at seven oh five and yeay, someone who

206
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 4: also can comment on the five percent potential cut for

207
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 4: public safety visually the budget Christopher's Smitherman. We got a

208
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 4: Thursday edition of the smither Vent and after all the

209
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 4: shootings and anger, uh Joe wrote down faux anger from

210
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 4: aft per Ball, the city's looking at cutting public safety. Yes,

211
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 4: Christopher will talk about the five percent proposed cut as well.

212
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 4: And I can only imagine what he's got to say

213
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 4: about that five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred,

214
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 4: eight hundred and eight to two three talk pound five

215
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 4: fifty on AT and T phones. Feel free to give

216
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 4: you a call. I'll be right back after these words.

217
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: Fifty five krs the talk station. Your retirement deserves more

218
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: than product.

219
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 4: Afternoon showers seventy five from the high overnight low sixty

220
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 4: three with just a slight chance of rain and the

221
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 4: highest seventy on Saturday with showers and storms likely fifty

222
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 4: seven degrees. Right now that you have Karsattalks eight, it

223
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 4: is five point twenty If you five Karosee dot Comedy

224
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 4: can't listen live you judging at a Paula Toado no

225
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 4: longer pulling any punches. Yeah, he's no fan of Trump.

226
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 4: But you got to remember all this, there's the laws

227
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 4: behind it, that we have reality, and we have the

228
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 4: law and the reality. I think for most people, at

229
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 4: least my listening audience is you know, we're doing pretty

230
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 4: good work in Iran. We have eliminated a lot of

231
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 4: the threat. They continue to pound the targets and addressing

232
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 4: one of the things that Daniel Davis Deep Dive I

233
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 4: saw an article this morning, those bunkers, those underground bunkers

234
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 4: that Daniel Davis talked about where the thousands of Iranian

235
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 4: missiles are hiding. While they're dealing with those two. It's

236
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 4: actually kind of an interesting strategy. They know where they are,

237
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 4: these bunkers, So since we've eliminated all the Iranian airpower,

238
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 4: we can send drones up that just circle around. Apparently,

239
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 4: as it was explained in the article and reporting on this,

240
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 4: we lack a number of those massive bunker buster kind

241
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 4: of bombs or unlimited supply, so you'd think, well, why

242
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 4: don't you just hit what like the way we do

243
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 4: with the nuclear plants and blow all those up. Well,

244
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 4: apparently there's a strategy involved here that doesn't require that

245
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 4: they're unlimited supplies. So they got the little drones flying around,

246
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 4: and as soon as one of these missile launchers emerges

247
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 4: from the bunker, yeah right, we blow it up. So

248
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 4: we've got that well in hand as well anyway, So

249
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 4: you look at the reality of what's going on there,

250
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 4: we feel pretty good about it, eliminating that evil threat,

251
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 4: that evil force that we've been struggling with for forty

252
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 4: seven years. But then there's the law. So we have

253
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,080
Speaker 4: all kinds of layers on this, and I and and

254
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 4: I know you don't like Judson Polton are quite often

255
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 4: because he is not a huge fan, if no fan

256
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 4: of Donald Trump.

257
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 1: And I understand that.

258
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 4: I wish he'd, you know, inject some of the Democrat

259
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 4: presidents that have done the same damn thing that he's

260
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 4: critical of Trump doing right now. But the vehicle to

261
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 4: criticize is the law in his case, the Constitution. And

262
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 4: he's an originalist, he's not a living constitution guy. The

263
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 4: words are what the words are. And you know, you

264
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 4: can move away from then and say, well, we have

265
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 4: the War Powers resolution. Well, yeah, that was a nineteen

266
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 4: seventy three thing because that Nixon veto. But then they

267
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 4: obviously overrode the veto, which is not going to happen

268
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 4: in the votes yesterday or today. Clearly there's not enough

269
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 4: people to override any veto that Donald Trump might put

270
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 4: on a limitation on his use of military force. But

271
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 4: you could take away Donald Trump and the attacks on

272
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 4: Donald Trump's and his actions and put in literally any

273
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 4: other president if they were to do that, he would

274
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 4: have the same criticism. Is I think maybe animist or

275
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 4: Trump is fueling the anger that comes through in his comments.

276
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 4: But you can't eradicate the law. He is focusing on

277
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 4: the underlying law, and it is his legal interpretation that

278
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 4: this is unlawful. Others have different interpretations, and that's why

279
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 4: I appreciate him being on. You know, you have to

280
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 4: think about this along the lines of maybe what a

281
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 4: judge might do. You know, he formerly a judge. Because

282
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 4: it's not always cut and dry. That's why we have

283
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 4: court cases, and that's why there's this sort of you know,

284
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 4: evolution of the legal process. And thank god, well prior

285
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 4: cases can be overturned. Otherwise we'd still be living under

286
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 4: a world with dread Scott and other horrific decisions that

287
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 4: previously came out of the Supreme Court Mississippi.

288
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: James is on the phone, James, how are you this morning?

289
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the show.

290
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 6: Hey man. I just called in to say hello. I've

291
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 6: been trying to process what's going on in the world,

292
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 6: and I guess my pe brain can't conceive it all.

293
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 6: So I've just been laying low, trying trying to stay healthy.

294
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 5: You know.

295
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: Oh, with you listen.

296
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 4: I'm with you, brother, I listen all day long, you know,

297
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 4: you try to make sense of the world, and sometimes

298
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,479
Speaker 4: it's too much the process.

299
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 6: I'm with you back, but hey, all, I got to

300
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 6: say we do devstraight in our path that we can

301
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 6: stay on as individual. Now we realize the political system,

302
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 6: the legal system, the religious system, the justice system, they

303
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 6: are all man made. They are all man manipulated. So

304
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 6: whoever in power manipulated their advantage and you just gotta hey,

305
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 6: almost go along with it.

306
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 4: Well, sometimes sometimes it's beyond the individual to fight the system.

307
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 4: We can talk about the corruption, we can talk about

308
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 4: the manipulation, raise everyone's collective awareness of it and hopefully

309
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 4: not let it ruin our day to day life lives, right, James,

310
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 4: Because you know, if it gets under your skin what

311
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 4: they are doing things over which you have no control

312
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 4: and you're walking around looking like Greta Thunberg with a

313
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 4: big frown and anger on your face, and you know,

314
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 4: out living a life filled with anger, well you're wasting

315

Speaker 4: and of course great listeners. And congratulations to my submarine

351
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 4: or friend Cribbage Mike, who's who just sent me a

352
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 4: Facebook message. He beat the crap out of me in Cribbage,

353
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 4: in fact skunked me. I'm I listened to no problem,

354
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 4: revealing that he's well just better than me. He says

355
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 4: his verses are telling him that submarines. Now you heard

356
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 4: about the Iranian ship being sunked, blown up by a torpedo,

357
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 4: first torpedo sinking of a ship since World War Two.

358
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 4: He said his sources are telling him that the submarine

359
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 4: is also sunk in Iranian sub which is interesting. He

360
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 4: also mentioned Davy Jones Locker and that's upsitting on the

361
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 4: bottom of the sea anyway. Pivoting over to the next one,

362
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 4: this sounds like a really cool place. The Liberty collective,

363
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 4: which I know sounds like some sort of a what

364
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 4: narco syndicalas Commune Joe. Lots of hippies know that's not

365
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 4: the way it is. It's five distinct restaurants, each individually owned,

366
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 4: privately owned. They're all in one spot. Though it's described

367
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 4: as Mike and Heather eers own the facility, multiple local

368
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 4: families own the various restaurants, and again there's no chains there.

369
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 4: So what you do is you show up and what

370
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 4: is intriguing to me? Among everything else they have there,

371
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 4: including an ice cream shop, coffee and breakfast bar, three

372
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 4: bars including a wine and bourbon bar, and a thirty

373
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 4: tap self poor beer wall. Hmmm, they have entertaining an amenity.

374
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 4: So we're gonna be enjoying next month, first Wednesday of

375
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 4: the month, Bristols, Beef and Barbecue, Rice Life, Flavorful Hibachi, Romando's,

376
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 4: Pizza Familia, Roberto and Miguel's, and then finally Miss Lee

377
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 4: Lay's Crafted Chicken. Those are the options you have for lunch,

378
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 4: so I'm looking forward to trying that Placehouse Over to

379
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 4: the phones, Tom, thanks for calling this morning. Happy Friday Eve.

380
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 7: Sounds like some people might be able to drink their lunch.

381
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 4: Oh yes, imagine so self poor beer.

382
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 8: Wall that.

383
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 7: With the wrong crowd, that could be problematic.

384
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 9: Yeah.

385
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 4: Well if it's one, if you pay one flat price

386
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 4: and then you get unlimited self poor, that's where things.

387
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: Go off the round.

388
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 7: Yeah. Now you're listening your I've been to a couple

389
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 7: of listener lunches and your your people generally are are

390
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 7: pretty well behaved. Well, there's some crowds that that's a

391
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 7: bad idea.

392
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 4: Right, I got a lot of listeners. I got a

393
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 4: lot of listeners that do not drink at listener lunch

394
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 4: because they're packing. And I always take great comfort there's

395
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,959
Speaker 4: a lot of sealed carryholders of my crowd.

396
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 7: The safest gathering of people in the in the Tri

397
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 7: state area.

398
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 10: Right.

399
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not number one, it's up there in the

400
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 4: top five. Thank you, Bob Tire if you're out there anyway.

401
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 7: So, uh, you mentioned that. I heard you say something

402
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 7: earlier when you were referring to the City of Cincinnati.

403
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 7: You were talking about them, and you said a a

404
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 7: responsible government. Now, obviously that wasn't a reference to the

405
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 7: City of Cincinnati government. That contrast, right, a stark contrast,

406
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 7: because when you have that many liberals. Uh, well, I

407
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 7: mean basically no Republicans on council, and obviously the mayors

408
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 7: is a basically a communist, so they're not going to

409
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 7: be responsible. Uh And and and I I try to

410
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 7: point it out to everybody that that probably the biggest

411
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,959
Speaker 7: the biggest effect they have on you is your wallet.

412
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 9: Uh.

413
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 7: They take your money that they feel it is their

414
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 7: job and their duty in life to take as much

415
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 7: money from you as possible and spend it on things

416
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 7: that that is not part of a responsible government. You

417
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 7: know that that they we should have basic services the

418
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 7: government provides it's necessary. I understand that. And then above it,

419
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 7: beyond that, No, it's not your responsibility. That's it. Stop

420
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 7: taking money from me and spending it on this stupid crap,

421
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 7: you know. And yeah, I agree with Joe. That's that

422
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 7: was faux anger for for him to come out, have

423
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 7: to have to come out and make a comment about

424
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 7: it being low bail. Give me a break, dude, Really,

425
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 7: we all know you're full of garbage. You know, this

426
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 7: is exactly the stuff that those people want. They want

427
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 7: to go easy on crime. They don't want to be

428
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 7: resp possible. They just want to take your buddy and

429
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 7: spend it on something else and figure out a way

430
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 7: to get everybody stirred up on the Democrat side so

431
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 7: they keep getting elected. Don't vote Democrat. Have a great day, Bro.

432
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: You do the same. Tom.

433
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 4: Have you got time for Hank, Joseph, Hank, Welcome to

434
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 4: the show, and a happy Friday.

435
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: Eve you, sir, Good.

436
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 11: Morning, brand, great listening runch yesterday.

437
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:24,959
Speaker 1: I'm glad you enjoyed it.

438
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 11: So yeah, it was a bit of a drive to

439
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 11: get there, but it was worth it.

440
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: Thank you.

441
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 11: Anyway, I was going to say, and before I start,

442
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 11: I'd like to remind everybody Abe Lincoln's comment on the internet.

443
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 4: Yes, if you read it on the internet, it's true,

444
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 4: said Abe Lincoln.

445
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 10: Right.

446
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 11: But anyway, I was happening to blunder along some internet

447
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 11: videos of Iranians expatriots talking about the bombing and so forth,

448
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 11: and they're dancing in the streets, a lot of them.

449
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 11: It's kind of funny. Some of them were doing the

450
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 11: Trump dance to yams Ya.

451
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: I've seen that.

452
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 10: And one of the couple of.

453
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 11: The things I wanted to point out though, that they

454
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 11: were talking about, was one of them mentioned that she

455
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 11: was in contact with family still in Iran, and the

456
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 11: family was warning to say that don't believe what you

457
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 11: see on the news from the Iranian government, because there's

458
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 11: when they were having the protests a couple of weeks ago,

459
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 11: they weren't releasing the bodies from people that they'd executed

460
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 11: in the street. They were saving them up for propaganda

461
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 11: value in case the US attacked.

462
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 4: There is clearly they see you know, you started out

463
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,199
Speaker 4: with that joke about Abraham Lincoln, and I'm with you

464
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 4: because relative specifically to the videos of people dancing in

465
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 4: the streets and celebration of what the United States is

466
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 4: doing doing the Trump dance, you don't my immediate reaction

467
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 4: to that. This is my default mode, man, I don't

468
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 4: necessarily believe it. I hope that that's true. I hope

469
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 4: what I'm seeing is true. But AI, these days, you

470
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 4: can easily be duped. It's so good right now that

471
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 4: some clown could create an artificial intelligence video of people

472
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 4: I don't know burning the American flag and be oh

473
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 4: my god, Look, it's the exact opposite reaction of the

474
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 4: United States once people are angry.

475
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 1: Okay.

476
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 4: It was like Daniel Davis talking about people in the

477
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 4: streets protesting the United States involvement, and I'm thinking to myself, well,

478
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 4: what about all the protesters, or at about the people

479
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 4: that are celebrating the fact that we're involved, And what

480
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 4: of the reality that there are still evil Iranian loyalist

481
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 4: thugs out there that might be willing to continue killing

482
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 4: people who are in celebratory mood because the United States

483
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 4: has killed a supreme leader. Maybe they're hiding. You can't

484
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 4: gauge global or you can't gauge an entire country sentiment

485
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 4: based upon what you're seeing on one or two or

486
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 4: even fifteen or twenty random videos pivot over. Someone sitting

487
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 4: in some foreign country is looking at what the local

488
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 4: media there, it could be biased, is showing you about

489
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 4: the United States of America, and they put a twenty

490
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,199
Speaker 4: four to seven loop feed of all the evil all

491
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 4: the protesters out there who are assaulting ICE agents, right,

492
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 4: it would make the entire country look like it hates

493
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 4: the ICE agents. And I know a lot of people

494
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 4: my listening audience feel like the ICE agents are doing

495
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 4: us a good service and getting rid of really dangerous

496
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 4: people from our area. There's a lot of people that

497
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 4: support that. So does the video reflect a general consensus?

498
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 4: You can't tell there. It lies the challenge these days

499
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 4: and the times in which we find ourselves five thirty

500
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 4: seven to fifty five KRC the talk station. I'm telling

501
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 4: you don't paint rhinos station. Yeah, David sent me a

502
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 4: Facebook message. I read the weather report and yeah, I

503
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 4: just read what that channel I and people write it?

504
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 4: Do people still say supper timmy? I had My southern

505
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 4: relatives always referred to it. But it different. There's a

506
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 4: difference between supper and dinner. I remember my uncles, my

507
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 4: great uncles, getting in an argue about that, well, you

508
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 4: should supper time, and I thought, therefore, you know, either

509
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 4: one is later than the other. So he was adjusting

510
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 4: his brain and anticipating the day and what he had

511
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 4: to get done in order to be there for supper

512
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 4: or dinner time. So whatever, I didn't write it, I

513
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,719
Speaker 4: just read it. Call me Ron Burgundy on that one.

514
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 4: Dave all right henyho five one three seven fifty eight

515
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 4: hundred two three talk dust off the award. We've got

516
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 4: one to give out, you know me. I love dogs.

517
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 4: We got two sisters are now facing animal cruelty charges

518
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 4: after a sixteen year old chihuahuah was thrown out of

519
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 4: their car while it was going fifty miles per hour

520
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 4: in Florida.

521
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: Do what the hell.

522
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 4: Three pound long haired Chihuahua named Princess suffered serious injuries,

523
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 4: and the owner even refused the dog emergency medical treatment

524
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 4: local veterinarian offering it, prompting, of course, animal welfare officials

525
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 4: to take custody of the dog. Our award winner this morning,

526
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,879

528
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 4: the dog's owner, sitting in the passenger seat of an

529
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 4: suv driven by Tracy when it happened. While the cars

530
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 4: moving along Largo Road. Tracy allegedly threw the chihuahuah out

531
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 4: of the front passenger side window. Witness told police the

532
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 4: dog was thrown approximately five feet from the vehicle onto

533
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 4: the sidewalk, and the witness identified Tracy as the one

534
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 4: who threw the dog. Excuse me, that came out of nowhere.

535
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 4: Court to the police and veterinary records, the poor dog Princess

536
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,760

Speaker 4: parts of her cranium, a bleeding eye and suspected traumatic

538
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 4: brain injury, and in spite of all that, Stacy declined

539
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 4: emergency medical treatment of life saving measures. County's Animal Services

540
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 4: Division faced with that to a custody of Princess again,

541
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 4: civil preatings proceedings against Stacy quote, the dog seized is suffering,

542
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 4: and it is evident from the circumstances surrounding the removal

543
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 4: that the owner cannot care for them and will not

544
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 4: in the foreseeable future be capable of caring for the animal.

545
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 4: Attempts to serve Stacy with legal process apparently fruitless. There

546
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 4: She's responded to what they say is belligerently to texts

547
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 4: and phone calls from the County process server. Reportedly, Stacy

548
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,600

549
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 4: ending one conversation with go f yourself, and in another quote,

550
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 4: you're the robbers, I'm the copper. I guess y'all forgot.

551
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 4: I'm the victim. Finally arrested and Tracy released after posting

552
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 4: a five thousand dollars bond and a judge ordering her

553
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 4: that she is not to own or possess any animals.

554
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: Perios, the biggest douche of.

555
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 12: The universe, in all the galaxies. There's no bigger douche

556
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 12: than you. You've reached the top, the pinnacle of douche dom.

557
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 12: Good going, Douce, Your dreams have come true.

558
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 4: You're right, Joe. There's nothing more to add to that

559
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 4: five forty six right now. US Installation. That's something you

560
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 4: can add to the exterior walls of your home, called

561
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 4: the USA insallation for the free inspection and free quote.

562
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 4: The inspection is to determine what kind of insulation you

563
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 4: have in the exterior walls of your home. You could

564
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 4: have some. It may be old and deteriorated. It may

565
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 4: have had an original R value of something very very low,

566
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 4: least based on modern standards like an R twelve. You

567
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 4: can get much higher R value with USA's premium foam

568
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 4: added with the old insulation. If you are under insulated,

569
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 4: there's nothing but a gaping whole cavity in the exterior

570
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 4: wall that gets filled with the USA Premium foam, filling

571
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 4: every square inch of that and providing you with a

572
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 4: wonderfully well efficient home, far more efficient than what you're

573
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 4: doing right now, meaning energy savings each and every month

574
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 4: guaranteed from USA Insulation. That is if you're using your

575
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 4: HVAC system, of course, but even in the absence of

576
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 4: an HVAC system, it'll it'll keep your house much more comfortable,

577
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 4: you know, like the sun beaten down on it keeps

578
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 4: it from penetrating. Same thing with winter temperatures outside, so

579
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 4: it works all year long, and of course that comfort

580
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 4: improvement is not noticeable on day one. I call it

581
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 4: the ultimate no brainers I have for years and years

582
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 4: because you can probably save more on your energy bill

583
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 4: than the price of the USA foam, which will pay

584
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 4: for itself over time. But ninety nine dollars a month

585
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 4: interest free, the way our energy bills are going, that

586
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 4: is something that lots of folks accomplish, So why not

587
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 4: go ahead and just give them a call, get the

588
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 4: free quote and free inspection. If you don't need it,

589
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 4: they'll tell you three eight one three six two six

Speaker 4: share the award we'll see here in a second three

596
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 4: Delaware elementary school teachers and now facing felony charges. Investigations

597
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 4: revealed the abused special needs students, inching them closer and

598
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 4: closer to a win in our award this morning. Police

599
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 4: in Smyrna, about fifteen miles north of Dover, Delaware, started

600
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 4: investigating in February when child abuse allegations surface at the

601
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 4: elementary school. A long and detailed probe in conduction with

Speaker 4: the Delaware Department of Justice along with the school district,

603
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 4: revealed what they called a pattern of troubling behavior in

604
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,719
Speaker 4: a special needs classroom. One of the teachers, thirty one

605
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 4: year old Mikayla Lomax, allegedly stuck a student, struck a

606
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 4: student in the face, and also sprayed the student with

607
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 4: a bottle of water as a form of discipline, treating

608
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 4: them like a dog. Apparently facing third degree child abuse,

609
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 4: nine counts of endangering the welfare of a child and

610
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 4: offensive touching, she was taken a jail at twelve hundred

611
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,200

612
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 4: from two years ago in which twenty six year old

613
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 4: Marissa Johnson and twenty one year old Morgan Donnihue report

614
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 4: the fed students hot takis, chips and hot sauce despite

615
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 4: knowing that the student had a digestive order making it

616
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 4: difficult to process spicy foods. Cops took Johnson to jail.

617
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 4: I took Johnson to jail ten counts of endangering the

618
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,520

620
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 4: five hundred dollars bond. District court, in a statement, said, well,

621
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 4: the alleged wrongdoing by staff, I actually reported it. They

622
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 4: worked diligently with law enforcement partners throughout the investigation. School

623
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 4: officials said they removed the teachers from the classroom after

624
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 4: the allegations surface, and also said most of the accused

625
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 4: teachers are no longer with the district. That most is

626
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 4: in quotes, so they know the kids got a digestive

627
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 4: problem and they feed them with these hot chips, these

628
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 4: really amazingly spicy chips. That's real cool. Great, who's watching

629
00:32:55,920 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 4: your children? Will be back in Delaware? Weary of a

630
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 4: mom says her seventeen year old son died trying to

631
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 4: quote unquote master a viral deadly TikTok trend they're calling

632
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 4: the Blackout Challenge. That challenge allegedly encourages user to choke

633
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 4: themselves with belts, purse strings, or anything similar until passing out.

634
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 4: Was it a David Carrotine that was doing that? Joe

635
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 4: and that was the former lead singer of Inaccess died

636
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 4: that way too, didn't he? Were they doing the Blackout

637
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 4: Challenge or something else? Trust me, I know the answer

638
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 4: to that question. Anyway, Son Won of at least five

639
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 4: juveniles that's been named in a wrongful death lawsuit in

640
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 4: a Delaware court, h he had no idea what he

641
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 4: was that it was going to kill him. According to

642
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 4: the mom of the late Jaden Bovl, he died in

643
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 4: twenty twenty from self asphyxiation after choking himself with a

644
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 4: jiu jitsu belt that was tied to his bunk bed.

645
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 4: Mom told the journal that it was he was meant

646
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 4: until he sucked into doing the Blackout Challenge, her words,

647
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 4: after becoming more and more infatuated with social media, where

648
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 4: he the child I'm asked more than twenty five thousand

649
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 4: followers and became TikTok famous. According to his mom video

650
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 4: on his account, which is still up, so I'm dancing

651
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 4: and doing video trends. The latest post June of twenty twenty,

652
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 4: a day before he died. Artists and five other families,

653
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,640

Speaker 4: parent company byte Dance, one of the eneities incorporated in Delaware.

655
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 4: That's why I guess they're in a Delaware court complaints

656
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 4: as ByteDance design and distribution decisions, including promotion of the

657
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 4: similar challenges to minor users, as well as harmful algorithmic

658
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 4: targeting and discrimination, are to blame for the death list

659
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 4: juveniles or not named the lawsuit. I guess John does.

660
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 4: Maybe we'll turn into a class action. There's another twelve

661
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 4: year old boy that was referenced said to have died

662

663
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,560

Speaker 4: in money going to fire and police, among well all

689
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 4: other departments. Looks like across the board and jeez, things

690
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 4: aren't bad enough on now. And you know, in the

691
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 4: context of something Todd Zenzer will be talking about at

692

Speaker 4: the United States of America, He's going to talk to

694
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 4: the truth about reparations. So they're talking budget and a

695
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 4: five percent across the board cut while also talking about

696
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 4: creating a brand new program with five million dollars going

697
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 4: for housing or something under a reparations theme. Okay, seven

698
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 4: to five, one our fro now. Congressman Warren Davidson on

699
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 4: Iran generally speaking, and the Senate rejected the curving of

700
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 4: Donald Trump's ability yesterday. That was a was forty eight vote.

701
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 4: I guess, well anyway got shot down. You heard that

702
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 4: on top of the OIR news. But they're going to

703
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 4: try it again today in the House. Doesn't look like

704
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 4: they have the votes. We'll see where Congressman Davidson is

705
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 4: on that. But the defining issue seems to now be

706
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,439
Speaker 4: will there be boots on the ground? Are you going

707
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 4: to commit troops to Iran? Donald Trump? They'renouncing or even

708
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 4: around that. They're reserving all options. No one's definitively said

709
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 4: yes or no on it, but a lot of congressmen

710
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 4: and women are saying, hey, way, what's the story on here?

711
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 4: We may have to curb his authority if we're talking

712
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 4: about boots on the ground. So that is a moving target.

713
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 4: So Congressman Davidson in an hour, and then we'll have

714
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 4: an Empower You seminar with Dustin Goldie, who actually owns

715
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 4: a cattle ranch, and he'll explain in the Empower You

716
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 4: Seminar tonight seven pm why meat prices are so high?

717
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,919
Speaker 4: Plus Jay Ratliffe looking forward to him, I do every

718
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 4: Thursday eight thirty. With that, let's go to the phone, CJ.

719
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 4: Thanks for calling this morning, Welcome to the program.

720
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,399
Speaker 3: Before I get to my what I want to talk

721
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 3: to about Iran. There is nothing that helps affordability in

722
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 3: a great subsidy because all that's going to do is

723
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 3: jack the price up more because they're going to have

724
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 3: the money anyway to buy it. So why didn't I

725
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 3: just jack the price up to match the subsidy plus.

726
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 5: What they can pay for it?

727
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 3: There you go, Yeah, and that's it helps supportability?

728
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 9: Like that?

729
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I was that reminds me. The other

730
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 4: day I read an article Bernie Sanders is proposing a

731
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 4: wealth tax on all the billionaires, which he in turn

732
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 4: wanted to then distribute to every person in every household

733
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 4: making less than one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. I

734
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 4: don't know, it was like three thousand dollars check or something.

735
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 4: Can you imagine that three thousand dollars checks going out

736
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 4: to literally millions of people all at once. You don't

737
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 4: think that would have a maybe an inflationary reality to

738
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 4: that too, do you see?

739
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 13: J Oh, not at all?

740
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 3: Demand if you can catch my chasm.

741
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, demand immediately increases for those who don't get the

742
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 4: economic reality of that. It's like what happened in COVID.

743
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 4: You flood the market with a lot of quote unquote

744
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 4: free money. People start going out and buying things. Yeah,

745
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 4: and then the scarcity comes up, and that's when prices increase. Okay,

746
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 4: economic lesson over CJ. What was on your mind?

747
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,760
Speaker 3: Yes, well, I was watching some stuff last night about

748
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:05,280
Speaker 3: what's going on over there in Iran.

749
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 7: And let me tell you something, And this is.

750
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 3: Something great for Dave Patter when you talk about we

751
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:15,800
Speaker 3: talk with Dave's next is Israel knew everything about Iran,

752
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 3: not because of street cameras, but they had infiltrated every

753
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 3: single cell phone, They had infiltrated every single piece of

754
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 3: electronic device that in the city of Tehran, and they

755
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 3: knew more about the people and about Tehran than they

756
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 3: did Jerusalem. That's great for us right now, But where

757
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 3: are most of our electronics made? China?

758
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 9: And all of this.

759
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 3: Could be all about China, and now you are giving away.

760
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 3: We have given away because all of our electronics are

761
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 3: made over there, and it doesn't even have to be

762
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,479
Speaker 3: made over there because a lot of this was done

763
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 3: just through apps and other things that are created that

764
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 3: they could just get right into those apps.

765
00:39:58,239 --> 00:39:59,399
Speaker 5: We have dealt with for.

766
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 3: The last ten years, the Chinese and the Russians trying

767
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 3: to any Iranians trying to break our water and electricity

768
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 3: codes in order to shut off water and electricity through

769
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 3: different wormholes in the in the electronic space. That BIS

770
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 3: should petrify every single American earth in this country, just

771
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 3: simply because we have no privacy there. If you think

772
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 3: you got privacy over anything and that you can't.

773
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,720
Speaker 13: Be tracked, you are crazy crazy.

774
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 5: Number one and number.

775
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 3: Two number two, the other thing that just like I

776
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 3: almost couldn't sleep with They were talking about this and

777
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 3: I was processing it is that they are making decisions

778
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,879
Speaker 3: over there on Iran, on targets that used to take

779
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 3: days and weeks within a matter of minutes and hours,

780
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,760
Speaker 3: not because our human intelligence has gotten better, not because

781
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 3: we have access to all of this information that we're

782
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 3: getting from cell phones and televisions and street cameras and.

783
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 5: Other things, all because of AI.

784
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 3: And if you are not scared and petrified of the

785
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 3: power of AI from what we are watching in Iran,

786
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 3: like you really need to start figuring things out as

787
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 3: a country on what we will allow, because man, you know,

788
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 3: the line of yesterday sci fi is today science. We

789
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 3: are there now, and we better realize that AI is

790
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 3: a true, clear and present danger because what happens if

791
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 3: those computers turn on us.

792
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 4: Well, there's always that, you know, sort of we've seen

793
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 4: that in science fiction movies. But here's a real time

794
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 4: reality going on about this. There's a lawsuit going on

795
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 4: about the impact of these algorithms and this artificial intelligence

796
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 4: like chat, GPT and the others having influence on children's minds,

797
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 4: and it's almost like a drug. I got a couple

798
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 4: of comments on that, but then you know the one

799
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 4: thing there was a you may have read about this,

800
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 4: and Dave Hatter has been talking about this for a

801
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 4: long time. The self driving automobiles, or the ability to

802
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:07,240
Speaker 4: remote control or otherwise operate the audio of the vehicle

803
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 4: from far away. Even if you have your own like

804
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 4: say Tesla, it has the ability to be overridden your actions.

805
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,760
Speaker 4: And that's what happened the other day when the police

806
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 4: and first responders are trying to show U at that

807
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,320
Speaker 4: Austin bar with that shooting, which may have been a terrorist,

808
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 4: aack a way Mo self driving taxi blocked first responders

809
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,840
Speaker 4: from getting to the bar. Now was that a software glitch?

810
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 4: That car is right across the street. I'm looking at

811
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 4: a video of it right now. It is blocking the

812
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 4: entire street. Was that a nefarious action? Well, I'm not

813
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 4: going to reach that conclusion right now because the investigation

814
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:44,240
Speaker 4: isn't over. But the car did stop in the middle

815
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 4: of the street and it did block first responders, So

816
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 4: right there, can you imagine that on a massive scale

817
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,839
Speaker 4: switch flipped by the Chinese Communist Party and all these

818
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 4: vehicles go rogue, They run into power stations, they run

819
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,320
Speaker 4: into other cars, they drive through crowds full of people.

820
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: They just caused general chaos.

821
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 4: Whatever come what may serious problem one of a multitude

822
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,439
Speaker 4: of serious problems. We can come up on this. And yes,

823
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:10,280
Speaker 4: the apps are terrible. Someone actually there was a sales

824
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 4: opportunity for me. Will you speak on behalf of this?

825
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 4: And ultimately it was a company that was providing an

826
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 4: app to do something and I don't even remember what

827
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 4: it is, and I'm saying no, I'm not going to

828
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,800
Speaker 4: speak for them. I got Dave Hatter on the program

829
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 4: every six thirty. Dave Hatter is he'd stay the hell

830
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 4: away from app guys. There nothing but vacuums for personal data.

831
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 4: Don't let them do it. It's like, hell, no, sorry,

832
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 4: I got nothing against the particular company. I don't know

833
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 4: anything about it. And that's another reason you can't advertise

834
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 4: for someone. But why would I try to promote something

835
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 4: that I regularly tell people to stay the hell away from?

836
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: Because I'm listening to the.

837
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 4: Tech guru Dave Hatter warning me over and over again,

838
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 4: and you about the dangers associated with these apps. So there,

839
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 4: thank you for the call, and you're right, scary and

840
00:43:55,080 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 4: frightening technology, and I can just coming about six fifteen

841
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 4: Amasa Well PASUT fifty to call five one three, seven,

842
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 4: four nine fifty eight hundred eight two three talk. You

843
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,239

Speaker 4: Together segment on Sunday mornings. I really enjoy talking with

846
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 4: about that. I've learned so much about the insurance business,

847
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 4: specifically medical insurance that I was not aware of. And

848
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 4: they know every in and out with medical insurance. And

849
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,240
Speaker 4: I know you probably just signed up during open enrollment

850
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 4: under a group plan that your employer offered. You do

851
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,320
Speaker 4: you think your employer who picked that knows everything that

852
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 4: they've had or that the John Roleman and the team

853
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 4: at Covers since you no trust me, they do nothing.

854
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:35,879

859
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 4: proposed reparations program of five million dollars in the middle

Speaker 4: talking about deaths in the city of Cincinnati. Are just

869
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 4: people who got hit by gunfire?

870
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:20,720
Speaker 10: Just got hit by guns?

871
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: Okay?

872
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,800
Speaker 8: We got an awful good medical staff.

873
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 1: God, thank God.

874
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:32,399
Speaker 8: Well with the weather coming and seventy degree whether we're

875
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 8: going to put it at four and a half.

876
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 1: Unfortunately four and a half.

877
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 4: It would be higher than that if it wasn't raining. Yes, okay,

878
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 4: Market It's a sad topic to laugh at, Bobby, but

879
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 4: I can't help it.

880
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 10: Last It is a sad topic. You know.

881
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:50,919
Speaker 8: I don't want to ever have to do this, but

882
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 8: you know, everybody needs to support the blue support all

883
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:58,399
Speaker 8: your fire departments, your law enforcement and everything. They're all

884
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 8: great people. They are just unfortunate. It's just unfortunate. We

885
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 8: got a bunch of thugs that are all compiled in

886
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 8: the city of Cincinnati. We don't have these problems around

887
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 8: the areas. It's in Cincinnati.

888
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, contemplate that one appreciated.

889
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 4: Bobby, don't forget firearms, brother, don't forget firearms. I know

890
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 4: that the bad guys with the firearms are the subject

891
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 4: matter that you're talking about, but good guys with firearms

892
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 4: might end up saving a lot of lives. Going back

893
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:30,879
Speaker 4: to the eighteen thousand suspected terrorist members that have entered

894
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 4: our country during the Biden administration, They've been talking about

895
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:37,439
Speaker 4: that a lot of late, and that some are very,

896
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 4: very concerned that many of them may be very highly

897
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 4: trained Navy Seal type training individuals who are waiting to

898
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 4: get the activation call to launch their cell operations and

899
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 4: then maybe show up in a neighborhood near you and

900
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 4: wreaking havoc on just generally speaking. And my military friends

901
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,760
Speaker 4: did the math on that eighteen thousand divided by five

902
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 4: the number of people in a given cell. I don't

903
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 4: know why they arrived at five. Maybe that's something military related. Anyway,

904
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 4: you divide the thirty six hundred five men teams and

905
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 4: you spread them around all the United States, that's seventy

906
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 4: two to five men teams per state. And if they're

907
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 4: highly trained. You can imagine they may engage in specific

908
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 4: type of operations. Maybe they've been assigned to blow up

909
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 4: power plants and disrupt your lives with that. Can you

910
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 4: imagine how disruptive flipping the switch of electricity off would be?

911
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 4: Many times we've talked about that, going back to the

912
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 4: common about the Chinese Communist Party and maybe the Russians

913
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 4: or the North Koreans or maybe the Irradians hacking into

914
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 4: our systems. Seems that everybody's actively engaged in doing that

915
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 4: for the purposes of being able to flip that switch

916
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 4: and turn everything off. I don't want to be an

917
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 4: alarmist about it, but it is You can't deny the

918
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 4: reality of something like that. That it is certainly possible.

919
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 4: They have found that many of our very important systems,

920
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:56,240
Speaker 4: including our governmental systems involving military, have been hacked into.

921
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 4: Oh look that bug's been lurking in the background now

922
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 4: for how many years? Fools, the ones not looking out

923
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 4: for their own best interest, and we need to start

924
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 4: better looking at our own best interests, you know, going

925
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:14,240
Speaker 4: back to the whole city of since and anything the

926
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 4: core government functions in a time of global turmoil and

927
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 4: a time of an all connected, internet based, software driven

928
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 4: or whatever world that we live in. I think one

929
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:30,959
Speaker 4: of the primary, you know, obligations of our government, roads, bridges, infrastructure,

930
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 4: and making sure that some evil, nefarious actor out in

931
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 4: the world can't flip the switch and turn our electricity off.

932
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 4: I think that's a valuable thing to pay attention to,

933
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:46,439
Speaker 4: don't you. Sixty five fifty five kr CD talk station

934
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 4: wait for it, five KRECD talk station have b Friday

935
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:54,479
Speaker 4: Eve special edition, so please to see. Actually, I'm happy

936
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 4: when Christopher Smithman is on the rundown anytime I see it,

937
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 4: and we always get him on Mondays at seven to

938
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 4: twenty for the Smith Event. But Christopher's got a special

939
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:04,320
Speaker 4: segment today because I guess the City of Cincinnati is

940
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 4: looking for a five percent across the board cut. It's

941
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 4: budget time. Christopher smith Aman with the Smith Event. Welcome back,

942
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 4: former Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati, and my

943
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 4: dear friend is always great talking with you.

944
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 9: Hey, Brian, thanks for having me on. You know, we

945
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 9: have seen this pattern where elected officials just seemed to

946
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 9: not be able to balance their budgets. But at the

947
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:30,760
Speaker 9: same time, what confuses us is we see them issuing

948
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 9: contracts like to an Irish rollie for six hundred and

949
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:37,879
Speaker 9: fifty thousand dollars. See it's the disconnect that we don't

950
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 9: understand as they're saying they're doing their budgeting, or as

951
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 9: we've talked about ten eleven years ago, the operation of

952
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:50,280
Speaker 9: the streetcar. See that what happened was the streetcar supporters

953
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 9: were saying to us that this was about the capital budget.

954
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 9: It was an argument, why are we spending ninety four

955
00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 9: million dollars of our debt? We had issue ninety four

956
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,399
Speaker 9: million dollars in debt and then we had to get

957
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 9: money from the federal government to build the street car.

958
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 9: But there was the other discussion that once you build it,

959
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 9: how do you operate it? And that operating budget was

960
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 9: going to absolutely impact our ability to pay police and

961
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 9: fire and sanitation. Now we have the chickens coming home

962
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 9: to roost. You're spending five million plus dollars per year

963
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 9: to operate a street car that drives around in a

964
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 9: circle like a Chuchu train. And then you're coming before

965
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 9: us saying we don't have money, We've got to raise taxes,

966
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 9: We've got to pay Irish rolling six hundred and fifty thousand.

967
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 9: We want to do something with a mural in front

968
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 9: of city Hall, but now you don't have money for cops.

969
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 9: Here's the reality. This is a city council and a

970
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 9: mayor that doesn't like the police department. I'm trying to

971
00:50:56,520 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 9: make it plain for grandma and grandpa to understand. They

972
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:04,239
Speaker 9: don't like cops. They want to reimagine, they want to

973
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 9: they want to defund it. To defund the police, marketing

974
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 9: didn't work, Brian Thomas. So now what we're seeing here

975
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 9: is we just got to cut five percent. Let me

976
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 9: remind everybody that less than a year ago, we had

977
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 9: an active shooter on Fountain Square at a restaurant shooting,

978
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:25,800
Speaker 9: We had shootings in our downtown core. Let me remind

979
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 9: all voters that we just had a mass shooting, nine

980
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 9: people shot just three to four days ago. Why would

981
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:35,799
Speaker 9: you have a mayor and a council come out with

982
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,440
Speaker 9: any kind of proposal saying that you want to cut

983
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 9: first responders or law enforcements in a time where we

984
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 9: need them the most. Brian Thomas.

985
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 4: Well, couse, the streetcars free, Christopher, doesn't that mean that

986
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 4: we don't have to pay for it?

987
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 9: See Bryan, So your listening audience. He loves giving me

988
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:56,759
Speaker 9: red meat. He knows he loves giving me red meat

989
00:51:56,920 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 9: because he knows that nothing is free. The reality of

990
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 9: what's happening is you and I are subsidizing the streetcar.

991
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 9: We are paying for everybody who rides that streetcar, and

992
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:11,400
Speaker 9: now they don't have money to operate the streetcar and

993
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 9: pay police and fire in sanitation and city workers and

994
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 9: everybody out there who was calling you and I crazy

995
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 9: saying we were against the street car. We just don't

996
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:25,360
Speaker 9: like mass transit had nothing to do with it. We

997
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 9: said that this was a pet project that the City

998
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 9: of Cincinnati cannot afford. And by the way, you never

999
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 9: hear them saying we're going to reduce the operation of

1000
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:37,879
Speaker 9: the streetcar. It's never on the table. They don't say,

1001
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 9: okay man, we're gonna take two point five million dollars

1002
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:43,200
Speaker 9: out of the operating We're going to operate it only

1003
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:45,879
Speaker 9: between these hours, and we're gonna take this two point

1004
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 9: five million dollars of operating dollars for the streetcar and

1005
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 9: direct it towards the operation of our budget, making sure

1006
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:55,320
Speaker 9: that we have police devices. They never do that. That's

1007
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 9: the problem right now, and they'll come back and give

1008
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 9: an Irish rollie another six hundred fifty thousand dollars. And

1009
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,759
Speaker 9: you and I, Brian Thomas, we don't even know what

1010
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:07,360
Speaker 9: she's doing with that money. What is OROI on it?

1011
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 9: If you were to ask her? Oh, I'm so offended

1012
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:11,840
Speaker 9: that you're asking me how we're doing with the money.

1013
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 9: How dare you ask us about what.

1014
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:15,920
Speaker 5: We're doing with the budget?

1015
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 9: Just six hundred and fifty that's that's racist. You're picking

1016
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:23,000
Speaker 9: on me. And then we turn around and we see

1017
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 9: what we see youth downtown with guns. You and I

1018
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 9: know that violence in our core on the banks are

1019
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 9: going to be high. And by the way, Procter and Gamble,

1020
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:36,440
Speaker 9: fifth third, Western Southern, all of you are gonna have

1021
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 9: to get some cahunahs and you're gonna have to put

1022
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 9: pressure on this city council. But if you don't guess what,

1023
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:44,919
Speaker 9: your workers aren't gonna want to get out of leave

1024
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 9: work at six or seven o'clock and walk back to

1025
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 9: their cars because they're gonna be worried about a holly situation.

1026
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 9: They're gonna be worried about getting jumped and have members

1027
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 9: of councils saying guess what it's okay that you got

1028
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 9: jumped in our downtown. Let's go arrest the white people,

1029
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 9: hold them accountable. That's where we're headed right now.

1030
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:02,279
Speaker 10: This is an.

1031
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:06,239
Speaker 9: Anti police move by the mayor, by city council. And

1032
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,399
Speaker 9: if and if we don't wake up, I'm talking about

1033
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 9: the people that live in the city. I don't care

1034
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 9: if you're a Democratic, Republican on independent, I don't care

1035
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 9: how you vote. If we don't start voting smart right,

1036
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:19,439
Speaker 9: elections have consequences, we aren't even gonna have a city.

1037
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:22,240
Speaker 9: We're gonna look like Chicago. We're gonna look like Detroit,

1038
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:24,959
Speaker 9: We're gonna look like la That is where we are hitting.

1039
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 1: Let's pause.

1040
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 4: Bring Christopher Smithlman back because I think I have a

1041
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:29,760
Speaker 4: solution to the problem. I'm gonna get Christopher's reaction.

1042
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:31,919
Speaker 1: You think about kars de toalk station.

1043
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:34,719
Speaker 4: Ron Thomas with Christopher's Smitheman, former vice mayor of the

1044
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:36,840
Speaker 4: City of Sinceinna, with a special Thursday edition of the

1045
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:42,719
Speaker 4: Smith event. Here's well, here's the is that as a

1046
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 4: street car uh Marsh eleventh and March sixteenth. Your next

1047
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:52,319
Speaker 4: opportunity to show up on March eleventh at the North

1048
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 4: Avondeal Rec Center. H to express your opinions about the

1049
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 4: budget and the five percent proposed cut across the board

1050
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 4: because Cincinnati can't get it budget in line. March sixteen,

1051
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 4: five point thirty at the Sailor Park Rec Center. That's

1052
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 4: another place you can show up and off of your comments. Christopher,

1053
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 4: don't I have a solution to this? Was raised by

1054
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:12,759
Speaker 4: since a city council. Wouldn't it just be a great

1055
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 4: idea to solve our budget problem by raising the income tax?

1056
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 1: Christopher? Why don't we just do that?

1057
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:24,359
Speaker 9: I know, Ryan, we're all priced out. You know, if

1058
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 9: you talk to Americans in our country, their rents are

1059
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:34,120
Speaker 9: out of control just keeping up with rent. Their their

1060
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 9: gas and electric bills are incredible, their costs for food incredible,

1061
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:47,279
Speaker 9: their costs for school and school supplies are incredible. I'm

1062
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 9: just sharing with you that the average person out here

1063
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:54,839
Speaker 9: who's raising a family, they're making really tough decisions, Brian.

1064
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 9: And that's why you're feeding me this red meat. And

1065
00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 9: so counsel just says we're gonna we're gonna raise your taxes,

1066
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:05,720
Speaker 9: so disrespectfully take more money away from those hard working

1067
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:11,280
Speaker 9: families to direct it towards contracts like for Irish Rollie,

1068
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 9: who we don't know what exactly is going on with

1069
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 9: that budget, or we're gonna take the money and direct

1070
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 9: it towards the operation of a street car, which has

1071
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:24,880
Speaker 9: nothing to do with Sailor Park. It has nothing to

1072
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 9: do with North Avendale, nothing to do has nothing to

1073
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 9: do with College Hill. Here's here's the big here's the

1074
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:35,719
Speaker 9: big wake up call. But the majority of those communities

1075
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:39,440
Speaker 9: outside of Sailor Park voted for this council forty five

1076
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 9: days ago. Visit elections have consequences, and so it's so

1077
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:50,280
Speaker 9: so frustrating to me is that these fifty two neighborhoods,

1078
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:54,239
Speaker 9: many of them overwhelmingly voted for these people. Now you

1079
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:56,439
Speaker 9: want to go back to these communities and say we're

1080
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:59,279
Speaker 9: gonna cut your safety. We're gonna cut your police and

1081
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 9: your fire, your sanitation, the basic services while we talk

1082
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 9: about raising your taxes. Guess what, that's what you voted for.

1083
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:09,280
Speaker 9: Because you could have had a Corey Bowman right now

1084
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:12,920
Speaker 9: as your mayor, and guarantee you, if Corey Bowman were

1085
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 9: the mayor, there wouldn't be discussions about cutting public safety

1086
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 9: right and there would be discussions about what are the

1087
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 9: low hanging fruit items, things that we really don't need.

1088
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 9: They're just shiny, like the operation of the street car.

1089
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 9: We're going to reduce that budget and we're gonna make

1090
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 9: sure that we keep citizens safe, and we are not

1091
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 9: going to raise your taxes. And so anybody listening to me,

1092
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 9: because so many people of the city, they pay rent,

1093
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:41,080
Speaker 9: they're not owners. Right like me as a property owner,

1094
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 9: my property taxes are through the roof, right, I'm paying

1095
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 9: fees through the roof. The rent. The people who are

1096
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 9: paying rent, their rents are going through the roof. And

1097
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 9: sometimes they don't understand that the landlords can't eat the cost,

1098
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:59,479
Speaker 9: so as their expenses go higher, they pass it on

1099
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 9: to you. Of course, the renter, you are paying it.

1100
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,920
Speaker 9: But Brian, a lot of renters don't understand.

1101
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:06,040
Speaker 4: That what's the same thing as going to the store

1102
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 4: and buying a bag of potato chips. The price of

1103
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:10,440
Speaker 4: the tatis hips has gone up. Why because the cost

1104
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:14,560
Speaker 4: of manufacturing and delivering and providing potato chips by the

1105
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 4: manufacturer has gone up. Yes, there's profit in there, but

1106
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 4: their profit margins are eroded by the inflation reality that

1107
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 4: they are facing, so they pass along the cost to you,

1108
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 4: this is exactly what what would property owners do?

1109
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 1: Duh?

1110
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 4: I mean it's so I don't know how that isn't

1111
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:33,480
Speaker 4: understood by anybody. You know, there's a cost you got

1112
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 4: to cover those. You still have to make a profit,

1113
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 4: otherwise you wouldn't be in the rental business. Yes, property

1114
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 4: taxes go up, the runners are gonna eat ith.

1115
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 9: Yeah, but it's still this is this is the reality

1116
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 9: of it. And guess what happens. Those American families are

1117
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 9: out there. I know they're listening, right, they have a

1118
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 9: Social Security benefit during a fixed income, whether that is

1119
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:57,560
Speaker 9: some type of an annuity, whether that's some type of pension,

1120
00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 9: whether it's Social Security. Their cost aren't keeping up with

1121
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 9: what you and I are describing. And so then you

1122
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 9: have a city council says, well, let's just make their

1123
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 9: taxes go a little higher, hurt them a little more, right,

1124
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:10,960
Speaker 9: in order for us to pay for our pet projects.

1125
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 9: That is what is so frustrating. And you've got families

1126
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 9: out here who who are working two and three jobs.

1127
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 9: That is not an exaggeration. Right, they get up, they

1128
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 9: go to one job in the morning, in the afternoon

1129
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 9: they're on another job, right, and then they might do

1130
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 9: something at night just to kind of hit it on

1131
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 9: the weekend, straight down to a red game. It sounds

1132
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:32,360
Speaker 9: like our good friend Joe Strecker, who are out here

1133
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 9: trying to work all these different jobs just to make

1134
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 9: ends meet. This has got to be insulting when you

1135
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:40,640
Speaker 9: have a mayor that says, you know, we're just gonna

1136
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:43,120
Speaker 9: raise your taxes. We're gonna cut the things that you

1137
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 9: need the most, the things that we're really in the

1138
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:48,840
Speaker 9: business of doing, which is keeping you safe. We're gonna

1139
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 9: cut public safety. This is a scary time. I don't

1140
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 9: want to scare anybody to tell you that we're marching

1141
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 9: towards Detroit, we're marching towards la We're marching towards Chicago.

1142
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 9: But I think that that's where we're hitted right there.

1143
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:05,240
Speaker 9: We have a very we have a very disconnected council

1144
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:09,760
Speaker 9: and mayor. They're not into rolling up your sleeves and

1145
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 9: doing the hard work. They want to make it easy,

1146
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 9: just raise the taxes for everybody here and scare the

1147
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:17,520
Speaker 9: hell out of us by telling you you're going to

1148
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 9: cut police and fire. This is a strategy. The strategy

1149
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:22,760
Speaker 9: is scared the hell out of us so that when

1150
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:25,120
Speaker 9: we put this on the ballot, we force you to

1151
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 9: vote for it.

1152
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:29,080
Speaker 4: Well, you know, the ripple effect is a really scary one.

1153
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:31,520
Speaker 4: We haven't quite seen it yet, although there's been a

1154
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 4: couple of examples of it. What happens if public safety

1155
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 4: is is worse, more crime, more criminals, fewer police, basically

1156
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 4: the general perception that it's not safe to walk around,

1157
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 4: and you make it far more expensive to live in

1158
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:49,200
Speaker 4: that particular jurisdiction, this one the city. Do you think

1159
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:52,360
Speaker 4: businesses will stay or leave? Going back to those big

1160
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:54,760
Speaker 4: ones that you just mentioned, Look at California, New York,

1161
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 4: Illinois and all the businesses that took off because the

1162
01:00:57,280 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 4: onerous way of regulations and taxes is crazy.

1163
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:02,920
Speaker 1: I'm leaving. I'm going to Florida.

1164
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:06,240
Speaker 4: Oh look, Claremont County looks far more inviting than Hamilton County,

1165
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 4: mostly far more inviting than the city of Cincinnati. It's

1166
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:12,120
Speaker 4: safer there, the roads are actually paved. There are a

1167
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:14,920
Speaker 4: lot of options out there. Christopher and some of these

1168
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:17,960
Speaker 4: big businesses may see that and seize the opportunity, which

1169
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 4: is going to make things much worse for the city

1170
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:22,640
Speaker 4: in terms of its revenue and what.

1171
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 9: Makes it easy for people in Cincinnati who don't really

1172
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 9: understand maybe geographically where we're located, who are listening online, right,

1173
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 9: I don't know. We can just go right across the river.

1174
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 9: The business just says, if they're being recruited, I just

1175
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 9: go to Indiana. Yay, just take a little jump boom.

1176
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 9: I'm in Indiana. And the Indiana Governor's like, listen, dude,

1177
01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:45,880
Speaker 9: we want you. We're gonna make sure we have police

1178
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 9: and fire. We're gonna make sure that you're safe. To

1179
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 9: make sure that when your workers drive in and they

1180
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:51,640
Speaker 9: go home at seven o'clock at night, they're not getting

1181
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 9: knocked in their heads. You know, if you decide to

1182
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 9: go out to eat in your downtown core, if you're

1183
01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:58,760
Speaker 9: in Indiana or if you're in Kentucky, we're going to

1184
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:00,480
Speaker 9: make sure that you can do that. In a way,

1185
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:04,920
Speaker 9: people are tired of the crime and the criminals being coddled.

1186
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 9: In Cincinnati. We just saw a judge go fifty thousand

1187
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 9: dollars right, five hundred bucks out. That's reality, right, Since

1188
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:16,440
Speaker 9: we spoke last fifty thousand dollars bond right, and the

1189
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:19,920
Speaker 9: federal government had to come in and say no, no, no,

1190
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 9: Hamilton County, we are going to prosecute this case federally.

1191
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 9: I'm sorry, he is not going to be leaving jail tonight.

1192
01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 9: He's gonna stay in here overnight. We're gonna prosecute him

1193
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:32,640
Speaker 9: to the fullest extent of the law. He shot nine people.

1194
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 9: So when you have judges that are willing to let

1195
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 9: people out right who shot nine people in our city,

1196
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:41,680
Speaker 9: what do you think it looks like when you wake

1197
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 9: up and you see a headline where council says we're

1198
01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:46,800
Speaker 9: gonna cut police and fire by five percent.

1199
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 4: It doesn't paint a very pretty picture. Christopher Smitheman at all.

1200
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 9: I'm not trying to because they're not. If they put

1201
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 9: the effort in, they can find the money. That's what

1202
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:02,080
Speaker 9: they're not willing to do. They've got to cut their

1203
01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 9: pet projects, every single one of them. I don't want

1204
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 9: to hear anything about anything flashy, nothing. I don't want

1205
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 9: to hear about reparations. I don't want to hear anything

1206
01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:15,920
Speaker 9: about anything other than doing what you're in the business

1207
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:19,440
Speaker 9: of doing, making our streets safe, making sure their potholes

1208
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 9: aren't out there, clearing off the snow, making sure that

1209
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 9: police and fire and sanitation have the resources they need.

1210
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 9: I'm talking about their truck, they're automobiles, they're staffing levels.

1211
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:32,560
Speaker 9: We need recruit classes, we need all of those kinds

1212
01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 9: of basic things. I don't get what council in this

1213
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 9: mayor are currently doing, Brian Thomas, but I can tell

1214
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:41,720
Speaker 9: you they're running people out of the city. People who

1215
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 9: can choose. Say, you know what, I'm going to go

1216
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:47,240
Speaker 9: to Green Township. I'm going to go to Liberty Township.

1217
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 9: I'm leaving. I'm going to Preble County. I'm getting the

1218
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:54,360
Speaker 9: hell out of Cincinnati because I don't feel safe. They

1219
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 9: don't understand that is Those are the conversations that people

1220
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 9: are really having. And you know what's really killing us

1221
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:02,440
Speaker 9: is people like you, Brian Thomas, who love the city

1222
01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 9: of Cincinnati, live out in the county and you're saying,

1223
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:07,920
Speaker 9: you know what, sometimes in your mind, I'd love to

1224
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 9: go down to the aeron Off I'd love to go

1225
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:12,680
Speaker 9: down and take take in dinner, but I don't feel

1226
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:15,280
Speaker 9: safe down there. Paultte and I when I go down,

1227
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:18,000
Speaker 9: I just don't know if I leave the restaurant, am

1228
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 9: I gonna be okay? As I leave the restaurant and

1229
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:22,320
Speaker 9: get to my car, and then if I have a problem.

1230
01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:26,680
Speaker 9: Do they have the staffing levels in downtown to respond

1231
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:28,880
Speaker 9: when I call nine to one one, Because that's been

1232
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:31,480
Speaker 9: the problem. It's not the cops they want to respond,

1233
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 9: it's the staffing levels. And so you are a smart person, Brian.

1234
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:39,800
Speaker 9: You don't want to hurt anybody, right. And here's another

1235
01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:42,600
Speaker 9: rocket science thing to think. They think criminals are dumb.

1236
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:45,520
Speaker 9: When you go to a football game or a baseball game,

1237
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 9: you're ron. You cannot go into those games with the firearm.

1238
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 9: So they know everybody walking out of there, out of

1239
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:54,640
Speaker 9: the Dora on the banks, nobody is armed, and they're

1240
01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:57,360
Speaker 9: going back to their cars, and guess what they're running

1241
01:04:57,400 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 9: into armed people who want to ride. And you don't

1242
01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:04,800
Speaker 9: have enough police downtown to keep your visitor safe. So

1243
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 9: guess what your visitor starts saying, I don't want to

1244
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:10,439
Speaker 9: come downtown. I love downtown like everybody else, but guess

1245
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:12,680
Speaker 9: what business is down there. You're going to have to

1246
01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:15,240
Speaker 9: start standing up for your own interest and make sure

1247
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:19,360
Speaker 9: that this council and this mayor don't project out weakness

1248
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:21,240
Speaker 9: by saying they're going to cut police and fire. Brian,

1249
01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 9: Tom's just crazy, crazy.

1250
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:25,080
Speaker 4: It is crazy. And the other the other thing I

1251
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:27,000
Speaker 4: was thinking about. You know, football games are one thing,

1252
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:29,760
Speaker 4: and you're right, I can't imagine a single human being

1253
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:31,920
Speaker 4: coming out of a football game and with a firearm,

1254
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:33,840
Speaker 4: given the level of security in the fact that you're

1255
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 4: not allowed to carry one. But what about the people

1256
01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:39,120
Speaker 4: who dine at really exclusive restaurants. I think I guess

1257
01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:40,600
Speaker 4: you had to have a fair amount of money to

1258
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:42,800
Speaker 4: go into Jeff Rubies and enjoy a meal there, right,

1259
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 4: And of course I would think the vast majority of

1260
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:48,439
Speaker 4: people going in there are probably drinking alcoholic beverages, which

1261
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:51,200
Speaker 4: means they're probably very unlikely to be carrying a firearm

1262
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:53,360
Speaker 4: because you can't do that. They got to go back

1263
01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:55,800
Speaker 4: to their cars as well, so you know, maybe people

1264
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 4: are reconnoitering Rubies and watching people coming into that. I

1265
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 4: don't want to pick on that particular restaurant is here.

1266
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:03,560
Speaker 4: It's truly amazing, and it is very expensive, drawing a

1267
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:07,360
Speaker 4: very wealthy client tell which are yo.

1268
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:10,960
Speaker 9: I know, I agree with you, Brian, and people patrons

1269
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:13,440
Speaker 9: out here who are trying to figure out what they

1270
01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:16,800
Speaker 9: want to do, They're going to choose other places to go.

1271
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:19,440
Speaker 9: That's just my point. Yeah, And Brian times you're just

1272
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:22,800
Speaker 9: laying it out for everybody. We love downtown, we love Cincinnati,

1273
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:25,840
Speaker 9: We want the best for Cincinnati. But the mayor and

1274
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:29,400
Speaker 9: council make it really, really hard because they're focused on

1275
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:33,200
Speaker 9: this racial identity stuff, and they're passing resolutions about what's

1276
01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:36,120
Speaker 9: going on in Israel and things like you know, what's

1277
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:39,280
Speaker 9: going on in uh and in Iran and all these

1278
01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:41,720
Speaker 9: kind of things that make no sense to me when

1279
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:44,880
Speaker 9: they can't even balance our budget. All the COVID money

1280
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:47,560
Speaker 9: is gone, right, They're gonna have to roll up the sleeve.

1281
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:48,520
Speaker 9: This is what is happening.

1282
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:48,960
Speaker 6: Public.

1283
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 9: All those federal dollars. They just passed resolutions down there,

1284
01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:56,080
Speaker 9: telling the federal government, giving them their middle finger, right,

1285
01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:58,959
Speaker 9: telling the federal government, I don't like you. All those

1286
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:02,520
Speaker 9: federal dollars, by the way, could dry up really fast

1287
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:06,440
Speaker 9: and make things even worse for the city of Cincinnati. Well,

1288
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:08,600
Speaker 9: I don't know why they decide to do these kinds

1289
01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:10,920
Speaker 9: of things, Brian, but I'm telling I'm letting you know

1290
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:13,800
Speaker 9: that to the public, you don't tell the federal government

1291
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 9: you're not going to cooperate with them and then turn

1292
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:19,560
Speaker 9: around and ask them for millions and millions and millions

1293
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:20,960
Speaker 9: of dollars. That doesn't make right.

1294
01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:21,720
Speaker 1: We got to go.

1295
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:23,240
Speaker 4: But here I'm gonna leave you with this seek in

1296
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:25,360
Speaker 4: fester on it and not be able to address it. Christopher,

1297
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:26,840
Speaker 4: since we're out of time, and God bless you for

1298
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:30,080
Speaker 4: joining us this morning. Whatever happened to that railroad money

1299
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:32,600
Speaker 4: was supposed to solve all of our problems there? Work

1300
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:35,720
Speaker 4: with that one, Christopher. We got a part company. The Monday, Ah,

1301
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:40,520
Speaker 4: Monday fifty one and fifty five CARES the talk station.

1302
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:46,960
Speaker 4: It's seven six five CARED Talk station. Are very happy

1303
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:49,880
Speaker 4: Friday Eve to you and Brian Thomas here hosting fifty

1304
01:07:49,880 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 4: five Kris and morning. Sure welcoming back and always please

1305
01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:54,280
Speaker 4: to have them be in an opportunity of being in

1306
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:56,880
Speaker 4: a position to offer him to you and tell us

1307
01:07:56,920 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 4: what's going on. Congressman Warren Davidson, it's really wonderful having

1308
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:02,240
Speaker 4: you on the program this morning, Sir Brian.

1309
01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:03,720
Speaker 14: It's always an honor and nice to talk.

1310
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:04,520
Speaker 1: With you as always.

1311
01:08:04,600 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 4: Let me start by thanking you for your service to

1312
01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:08,520
Speaker 4: our country and you continued services one of the more

1313
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:11,800
Speaker 4: well sane individuals in electric capacity. You're going to be

1314
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 4: voting today, I know you know the Senate blocked Tim

1315
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:19,320
Speaker 4: Tim Kaine's resolution to limit the Operation Epic Fury not

1316
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:21,439
Speaker 4: you know, it was a close vote, but it was

1317
01:08:21,479 --> 01:08:26,000
Speaker 4: shot down. That resolution I think would have required congressional approval.

1318
01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:29,559
Speaker 4: And today, as I understand it, you're going to be

1319
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:31,960
Speaker 4: voting on something that's being presented in the House. This

1320
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:36,280
Speaker 4: the Rocanna Thomas Massey resolution. Is that what's cued up,

1321
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:37,800
Speaker 4: Congressman Massy.

1322
01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:43,040
Speaker 14: Yeah, David, Yeah, it's essentially the same resolution saying, you

1323
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:45,679
Speaker 14: know what the Constitution says, which is, if you want

1324
01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 14: a worry, you get it authorized by Congress. You don't

1325
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 14: have to quote declare war. I mean, you know, you

1326
01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:55,640
Speaker 14: can quote authorize use of military force. That's what we

1327
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 14: did three days after nine to eleven. And so it's

1328
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 14: when it's popular they come ask. When it's not certain

1329
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:05,360
Speaker 14: that they'll have all the votes and all the support

1330
01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:07,880
Speaker 14: of the people, they tend to just take action. And

1331
01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:11,280
Speaker 14: so like when Barack Obama went Intolibya, he didn't ask.

1332
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:16,360
Speaker 14: Republicans complained, but you know, some Democrats said, no, we're

1333
01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:20,760
Speaker 14: consistent on our vote, and they were critical of Barack

1334
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:24,000
Speaker 14: Obama because he didn't get authorization to go to war.

1335
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:27,599
Speaker 14: So this is as old as the Constitution. But that's

1336
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 14: what the words say in the Constitution. If we're going

1337
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:30,439
Speaker 14: to be governed by it.

1338
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:32,240
Speaker 1: No question about it. I mean, let's face it.

1339
01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:33,840
Speaker 4: You can go all the way back to World War two,

1340
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:36,000
Speaker 4: the last declaration of war, and then we were engaged

1341
01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:39,840
Speaker 4: in literally wars in Korea. You had Vietnam, of course,

1342
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:41,840
Speaker 4: all the other military conflicts that we've been involved with

1343
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:44,559
Speaker 4: sort of tacit approval. I think of Vietnam and I

1344
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:46,600
Speaker 4: was scratching my head the other day wondering how you

1345
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:50,040
Speaker 4: get from quote unquote advisors during the what was it,

1346
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:54,120
Speaker 4: Eisenhower administration, then you got Kennedy taking over and increasing

1347
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:56,040
Speaker 4: the role. Next thing you know, we got troops in there,

1348
01:09:56,360 --> 01:09:59,639
Speaker 4: a gradual expansion in which there was no comment from

1349
01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:03,559
Speaker 4: congres and yet they continue to fund it through the

1350
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:07,880
Speaker 4: military spending. So we get to nineteen seventy three, enter

1351
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 4: the War Powers Resolution, which says, within sixty days of

1352
01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:15,400
Speaker 4: the president putting troops into a conflict, he's got to

1353
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:18,200
Speaker 4: alert the Congress within forty eight hours. But the clock

1354
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:21,320
Speaker 4: is ticking, and I need you to explain this. Maybe

1355
01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:22,880
Speaker 4: I'm missing something, but the way I read the War

1356
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:27,640
Speaker 4: Powers resolution, Congress can either declare war, do an authorization

1357
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:30,680
Speaker 4: for use of military force, or not do anything, in

1358
01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:33,360
Speaker 4: which case, after sixty days, with the potential for a

1359
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 4: thirty day extension, you have to withdraw troops. Isn't it

1360
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:40,280
Speaker 4: automatically going to happen if nothing is done by way

1361
01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:43,040
Speaker 4: of authorization and use of military force or actual outright

1362
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:46,560
Speaker 4: declaration of war? Congressman Davidson, Yeah.

1363
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:50,519
Speaker 14: This is the thing. So one people cite that and like, well,

1364
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:53,479
Speaker 14: the president can do whatever he wants with respect to war. Well, no,

1365
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:56,120
Speaker 14: that's not what the constitution says. And then they say, whoa,

1366
01:10:56,200 --> 01:10:57,680
Speaker 14: but he can do whatever he wants because of the

1367
01:10:57,680 --> 01:11:00,679
Speaker 14: War Powers Resolution. Well, that would make the Royal Pressure

1368
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:06,080
Speaker 14: Resolution unconstitutional. It is, so some people say it is

1369
01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:08,240
Speaker 14: because they read it to say that it's not what

1370
01:11:08,280 --> 01:11:10,960
Speaker 14: it says. There are three clauses in the War Powers Resolution.

1371
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:14,440
Speaker 14: One is a declaration of war, two is an authorization

1372
01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:17,639
Speaker 14: for US military force. The third clause is the one

1373
01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:21,000
Speaker 14: that gives rise to this perception that the president could

1374
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:22,960
Speaker 14: do whatever he wants for sixty days as long as

1375
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:26,559
Speaker 14: he tells Congress within forty eight hours. That's true if

1376
01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:29,240
Speaker 14: it's to repel an imminent attack. And that's why they

1377
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:31,160
Speaker 14: keep using the word eminent. Oh it's been eminent for

1378
01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:36,000
Speaker 14: forty seven years. Imminent as in an exigent circumstance, as in,

1379
01:11:36,160 --> 01:11:40,559
Speaker 14: you know, you've got a foreign country with you know,

1380
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:45,080
Speaker 14: a navy crew cruising towards your country, or you know,

1381
01:11:45,120 --> 01:11:47,840
Speaker 14: we've got missiles in coming. We shot them down, and

1382
01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:51,120
Speaker 14: there we're going to counterattack because people attacked our country.

1383
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:54,800
Speaker 14: Someone overran our embassy, so we're going to take action,

1384
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:59,160
Speaker 14: you know, to defend our enemies, defend our embassy, and

1385
01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:02,120
Speaker 14: then go after anybody that attack them. Those are the

1386
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:06,400
Speaker 14: kinds of things that are envisioned in that third case,

1387
01:12:07,960 --> 01:12:12,120
Speaker 14: and so none of those are the situation here in Iran.

1388
01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:14,559
Speaker 14: This is a war of choice and timing of our

1389
01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:18,560
Speaker 14: choice in terms of when we were going to ultimately

1390
01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:21,920
Speaker 14: lose our patients. And you know, in one of the discussions,

1391
01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:24,479
Speaker 14: the president felt like he needed to act within two weeks. Well,

1392
01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 14: within two weeks you can certainly can mean Congress and

1393
01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:31,360
Speaker 14: get a vote. You did it in three days after

1394
01:12:31,439 --> 01:12:36,040
Speaker 14: nine to eleven, and so I think, you know, could

1395
01:12:36,479 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 14: at the end of the day, the president needs to

1396
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:41,360
Speaker 14: make the decision if ultimately he felt like he needed

1397
01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:43,960
Speaker 14: to do that, and ultimately the strike that he wanted

1398
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:47,639
Speaker 14: to do and felt like would be effective work wouldn't

1399
01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:51,559
Speaker 14: necessarily make it constitutional. I'm not like super mad that

1400
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:53,960
Speaker 14: the Iatola is killed. I'm pretty happy he's.

1401
01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:54,439
Speaker 13: The dead guy.

1402
01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:58,080
Speaker 14: These are pretty evil people even right now as we speak.

1403
01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:00,680
Speaker 14: I mean, our soldiers are out smoking people. You can

1404
01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:03,280
Speaker 14: rest easy. These are bad people that you're smoking. Yes,

1405
01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:07,200
Speaker 14: but it doesn't make it constitutional. So Congress should vote

1406
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 14: just like they should have voted for the whole Korean War.

1407
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:14,720
Speaker 14: But instead you have this passive aggressive behavior where you

1408
01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:17,840
Speaker 14: don't don't really want to take responsibility for the war.

1409
01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:20,400
Speaker 14: You're sending young men and women into combat, but you

1410
01:13:20,439 --> 01:13:23,880
Speaker 14: won't even vote. But then you passively just cut the checks.

1411
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:26,639
Speaker 14: And that's defined Congress for a long time.

1412
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:30,160
Speaker 4: It has, and that's actually become an argument in favor

1413
01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:32,880
Speaker 4: of allowing this to continue. Look, we've been doing this

1414
01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:35,559
Speaker 4: for sixty years, you know, since World War Two. We

1415
01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:37,680
Speaker 4: have given taskit or provo for the trump to go

1416
01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:39,840
Speaker 4: ahead or for the president to go ahead and engage

1417
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:42,760
Speaker 4: in these military operations. This is status quo. It's like

1418
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:45,960
Speaker 4: illegal waiver or a stoppel argument. No, no, no, you

1419
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:48,120
Speaker 4: can't raise that now. You have been you know, just

1420
01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:52,120
Speaker 4: approving the reality of this for so long, it's that

1421
01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:54,840
Speaker 4: you're foreclosed from making that argument anymore. It's a sad

1422
01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:57,320
Speaker 4: state of affairs when it has gone on this long

1423
01:13:57,600 --> 01:14:01,559
Speaker 4: ignoring the Constitution. But that does set a stage. It

1424
01:14:01,560 --> 01:14:04,439
Speaker 4: does suggest that presidents can do this. Democrats have allowed it,

1425
01:14:04,479 --> 01:14:06,719
Speaker 4: as you point out with Barack Obama in Syria.

1426
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:12,040
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean that's basically what the courts said when

1427
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:16,680
Speaker 14: Republicans with support of some Democrats, challenged Barack Obama in

1428
01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:19,080
Speaker 14: twenty eleven. And frankly, Speaker Banner was one of the

1429
01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:23,320
Speaker 14: people leading that fight at the time, so saying, look,

1430
01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:25,600
Speaker 14: if you don't really have the authority to do it,

1431
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:28,000
Speaker 14: And of course, just as now, there are Republicans across

1432
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:31,559
Speaker 14: the spectrum, you know, back then, John McCain was still alive,

1433
01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:34,960
Speaker 14: so he was the biggest voice for not only should

1434
01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:36,799
Speaker 14: we be doing this war, we should have done it earlier,

1435
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:40,160
Speaker 14: and we should do it, you know, more bigly. And

1436
01:14:40,160 --> 01:14:42,960
Speaker 14: then Lindsey Graham's been a consistent voice. There's never been

1437
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:45,160
Speaker 14: a war he didn't like, so he was for the war.

1438
01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:48,320
Speaker 14: He also had, you know, across the spectrum, people saying,

1439
01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:51,440
Speaker 14: you know, find war, but you're supposed to come to Congress,

1440
01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:54,479
Speaker 14: and then others people saying, no, this isn't even really

1441
01:14:54,479 --> 01:14:57,160
Speaker 14: our war. What are we doing in Libya? But that's

1442
01:14:57,160 --> 01:14:58,960
Speaker 14: why you're supposed to have the debate and vote. And

1443
01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:01,479
Speaker 14: I think that's the thing, because you know, when I

1444
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:06,360
Speaker 14: was on active duty in the eighties and nineties. In

1445
01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:09,000
Speaker 14: the nineties, we were going to war in Kosovo. And

1446
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:11,920
Speaker 14: I remember a time when I was in the hundred

1447
01:15:11,920 --> 01:15:14,000
Speaker 14: and first and we were supposed to get a unit

1448
01:15:14,040 --> 01:15:17,840
Speaker 14: ready to go deploy to Kosovo was a different battalion,

1449
01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:23,839
Speaker 14: and Congress voted on it to thirteen to two thirteen.

1450
01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:27,760
Speaker 14: They wouldn't even resolve the devote, they wouldn't fully authorize it.

1451
01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:30,240
Speaker 14: So clearly half of Congress didn't think we should go

1452
01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:34,559
Speaker 14: to Kosovo. Nevertheless, they win, and I'm like, good grief,

1453
01:15:34,600 --> 01:15:37,000
Speaker 14: you guys can't even resolve this, and you're you know,

1454
01:15:37,160 --> 01:15:39,559
Speaker 14: we got to go to Kosovo, and I thought it

1455
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:41,840
Speaker 14: was a fine enough mission, but it's just disappointing that

1456
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:45,040
Speaker 14: Congress couldn't even resolve it. And so that was one

1457
01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:47,439
Speaker 14: of the things Wesley Clark, who was a general at

1458
01:15:47,479 --> 01:15:51,280
Speaker 14: the time raised when he ran against al Gore on

1459
01:15:51,320 --> 01:15:54,080
Speaker 14: the Democrat side, saying, you know what a bad leader

1460
01:15:54,120 --> 01:15:56,400
Speaker 14: al Gore was, And of course al Gore won the

1461
01:15:56,439 --> 01:15:59,800
Speaker 14: primary anyway, and it didn't matter. I wouldn't have wanted

1462
01:15:59,840 --> 01:16:02,720
Speaker 14: in the Democrats, and I barely like George R. W.

1463
01:16:02,800 --> 01:16:03,080
Speaker 6: Bush.

1464
01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:07,200
Speaker 14: But there's a way better choice than al Gore. Long history, right,

1465
01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:09,320
Speaker 14: So that's as old as the country.

1466
01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:10,920
Speaker 4: As old as the country. We'll probably be in Congressman

1467
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:14,799
Speaker 4: Davidson back when I get his specifics on what exactly

1468
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:17,600
Speaker 4: are we voting on today? Is it an authorization for

1469
01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:21,599
Speaker 4: use limit of sevent nineteen? Fify about karcity TALX stations

1470
01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:23,680
Speaker 4: right times with Congressman Warren Davidson is going to be

1471
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:27,439
Speaker 4: voting today. Yesterday's bill shot down by the Senate would

1472
01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:32,040
Speaker 4: have said, yeah, no military force unless Congress acts. Congress action,

1473
01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:34,439
Speaker 4: which may you know, happen today or is supposed to

1474
01:16:34,439 --> 01:16:36,760
Speaker 4: happen today, would be vote for war, vote for an

1475
01:16:36,760 --> 01:16:40,040
Speaker 4: authorization to use a military force, or the resolution fails.

1476
01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:43,720
Speaker 4: Does the resolution itself specifically say pull the troops out,

1477
01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:46,000
Speaker 4: he don't have the authority? Does it say, does it

1478
01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:50,040
Speaker 4: talk about a scope of an authorization use a military force,

1479
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:52,120
Speaker 4: like you can engage in these activities, but you can't

1480
01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:55,160
Speaker 4: commit American troops on the ground. What is the vote

1481
01:16:55,240 --> 01:16:56,880
Speaker 4: about today, Congressman Davidson.

1482
01:16:57,880 --> 01:17:00,640
Speaker 14: Yeah, the standard war Powish resolution, just as this one

1483
01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:04,559
Speaker 14: is here, says, you know, it wasn't authorized in advance,

1484
01:17:06,240 --> 01:17:10,040
Speaker 14: or it wasn't authorized and consistently with the War Powers Act,

1485
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:13,920
Speaker 14: and therefore the president's required to remove troops from the

1486
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:20,040
Speaker 14: situation or get approval, and so that vote. Normally the

1487
01:17:20,880 --> 01:17:23,479
Speaker 14: language says thirty days in the war Powish resolution. So

1488
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:25,479
Speaker 14: I think the language and this could have been more

1489
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:28,559
Speaker 14: precise that you have an orderly exit, not just like, oh,

1490
01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:30,160
Speaker 14: we've got to leave tomorrow.

1491
01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:32,519
Speaker 10: But yeah, obviously it.

1492
01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:35,280
Speaker 14: Would take a little while to get everybody out of

1493
01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:39,479
Speaker 14: the harms way in combat. And they're still working to

1494
01:17:39,560 --> 01:17:41,560
Speaker 14: safely get Americans out. And that's another thing. It's like,

1495
01:17:41,600 --> 01:17:44,160
Speaker 14: if you've got a war a choice, you could certainly

1496
01:17:44,280 --> 01:17:47,680
Speaker 14: have thought out how to evacuate Americans. And you know,

1497
01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:53,040
Speaker 14: Ambassador Huckabee in Israel gave the announcement on Friday for

1498
01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:55,400
Speaker 14: Americans to leave. And when you make an announcement on

1499
01:17:55,439 --> 01:18:00,400
Speaker 14: Friday and say you should leave Israel, Friday, it's not

1500
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:04,920
Speaker 14: always easy to catch the flight Friday afternoon out as

1501
01:18:04,920 --> 01:18:08,960
Speaker 14: an example. So there are people that are concerned about that.

1502
01:18:09,120 --> 01:18:11,280
Speaker 14: The State Department is working on that, and we'll have

1503
01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:15,400
Speaker 14: information up today for people that they put out this

1504
01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:17,960
Speaker 14: week to say, hey, here's how you can help people

1505
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:20,639
Speaker 14: connect with the State Department to get out. We still

1506
01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:23,040
Speaker 14: have a number of Americans in the region, and the

1507
01:18:23,080 --> 01:18:25,160
Speaker 14: State Department has been working to get everybody out. But

1508
01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:28,040
Speaker 14: those are the kinds of things that happened. If this

1509
01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:31,360
Speaker 14: past you would be working on a more early disengagement,

1510
01:18:31,760 --> 01:18:34,679
Speaker 14: or presumably the administration would just bring a resolution saying

1511
01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:38,320
Speaker 14: here's what we want to do. And look, this administration, well,

1512
01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:40,400
Speaker 14: they didn't come to Congress. They have laid out three

1513
01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:43,240
Speaker 14: specific goals that they want to do, which is, you know,

1514
01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:51,519
Speaker 14: eliminate Iran's nuclear capability by that was the that's long standing,

1515
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:54,280
Speaker 14: but now they want to take out their missile capability

1516
01:18:54,600 --> 01:18:58,160
Speaker 14: and that's going really well. They want to eliminate their

1517
01:18:58,240 --> 01:19:00,320
Speaker 14: navy because they keep using their navy to locked the

1518
01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:05,720
Speaker 14: Straits of Moore moves right, going pretty well. And then

1519
01:19:06,280 --> 01:19:09,439
Speaker 14: they want to do they want to eliminate the Iranian

1520
01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:11,960
Speaker 14: support for proxy groups. So I don't think they're sending

1521
01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:16,639
Speaker 14: any wire transfers right now, pelts of cash floating over

1522
01:19:16,760 --> 01:19:18,240
Speaker 14: to Hamas and hesblah.

1523
01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:20,440
Speaker 6: They really are probably.

1524
01:19:20,160 --> 01:19:25,760
Speaker 14: Working to organize their leadership, and that's also problematic for

1525
01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:30,040
Speaker 14: them right now. So what they're not taking off the

1526
01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:32,960
Speaker 14: table is anything which you know in the midst of this,

1527
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:38,519
Speaker 14: and it really doesn't necessarily make sense diplomatically or in

1528
01:19:38,680 --> 01:19:40,720
Speaker 14: it to limit.

1529
01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:41,200
Speaker 10: That in a way.

1530
01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:46,360
Speaker 14: But they haven't laid out objectives that would require boots

1531
01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:48,720
Speaker 14: on the ground, so when pressed, they haven't ruled it out.

1532
01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:51,799
Speaker 14: They also haven't been saying, hey, we plan to introduce

1533
01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:54,880
Speaker 14: troops on the ground. The challenge is for a lot

1534
01:19:54,960 --> 01:19:58,920
Speaker 14: of people in warhocks, like Lindsay Graham, they say, look,

1535
01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:02,200
Speaker 14: the only way to guarante that this really stays done

1536
01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:05,720
Speaker 14: as you eliminate the leadership that would do them in

1537
01:20:05,800 --> 01:20:09,240
Speaker 14: the first place. And so we need a regime change war.

1538
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:13,559
Speaker 14: And you know, so not just you know the top

1539
01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:18,719
Speaker 14: leadership out well, the same hardliners you you know inherently,

1540
01:20:18,720 --> 01:20:21,120
Speaker 14: and this is the way it always works. You decapitate

1541
01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:25,400
Speaker 14: the leadership, and the hardliners that were dependent upon that

1542
01:20:25,640 --> 01:20:29,560
Speaker 14: leader for power are the people less in power, and

1543
01:20:29,680 --> 01:20:32,800
Speaker 14: they're they're even more validated as to the threat of

1544
01:20:33,479 --> 01:20:36,720
Speaker 14: you know, whatever enemy took them out, because the hardliners

1545
01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:38,519
Speaker 14: wanted to go even harder. I mean, you could think

1546
01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:42,320
Speaker 14: if somebody attacked us, Lindsey Graham would inherently be validated

1547
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:45,160
Speaker 14: because he's always wanted to go to war more right,

1548
01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:47,560
Speaker 14: And so those are the people with the weapons in

1549
01:20:47,640 --> 01:20:51,160
Speaker 14: a dictatorship like Iran, and so it makes it really

1550
01:20:51,280 --> 01:20:55,880
Speaker 14: hard for to be this organic uprising, and so people think, oh, well,

1551
01:20:55,920 --> 01:20:57,799
Speaker 14: we took out the leadership, there's just going to magically

1552
01:20:57,880 --> 01:20:59,560
Speaker 14: be the shaw is going to be greeted him and

1553
01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:03,320
Speaker 14: the you celebrated and festivities in the streets for the

1554
01:21:03,400 --> 01:21:06,920
Speaker 14: new government, and everyone's going to run and hide. That

1555
01:21:07,080 --> 01:21:10,559
Speaker 14: never works. That didn't even work in Kosovo and Serbia, correct,

1556
01:21:11,400 --> 01:21:15,360
Speaker 14: And in Iran they just killed, you know, thirty to

1557
01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:19,160
Speaker 14: forty thousand of their people. So the local population is

1558
01:21:19,200 --> 01:21:23,040
Speaker 14: a little reluctant to go out and overthrow the current government.

1559
01:21:23,240 --> 01:21:24,799
Speaker 1: That is most certainly correct.

1560
01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:28,360
Speaker 4: And I guess I understand the CIA has been arming

1561
01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:34,640
Speaker 4: the Kurdish opposition groups in Iran, which may surge in

1562
01:21:34,800 --> 01:21:37,880
Speaker 4: and perhaps ultimately be the vehicle the proxy vehicle for

1563
01:21:37,960 --> 01:21:40,240
Speaker 4: boots on the ground. We'll wait and see how that happens,

1564
01:21:40,280 --> 01:21:42,599
Speaker 4: but real quick before we have to part company because

1565
01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:45,639
Speaker 4: I know you're on a schedule. NATO batteries in Turkey

1566
01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:48,160
Speaker 4: shot down a ballistic missile that was on its way

1567
01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:50,400
Speaker 4: to Turkey, which is a NATO country with whom we

1568
01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:51,839
Speaker 4: have a defense agreement.

1569
01:21:52,280 --> 01:21:53,000
Speaker 1: What do you make of that?

1570
01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:55,519
Speaker 4: Are they trying to drag the entire European Union or

1571
01:21:55,520 --> 01:21:57,479
Speaker 4: the NATO countries into war? Do you think that was

1572
01:21:57,520 --> 01:22:00,120
Speaker 4: inadvertent going after one of our military bases, because that

1573
01:22:00,320 --> 01:22:02,559
Speaker 4: is a development that sounds a lot like World War three.

1574
01:22:04,920 --> 01:22:05,160
Speaker 10: Yeah.

1575
01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:11,439
Speaker 14: I think it's interesting about Turkey because you know, almost

1576
01:22:11,520 --> 01:22:16,080
Speaker 14: immediately once you started the war in Iran, there are

1577
01:22:16,200 --> 01:22:18,599
Speaker 14: people in Israel who say, well, the next biggest threat

1578
01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:19,679
Speaker 14: to Israel is Turkey.

1579
01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:24,080
Speaker 1: Go ahead and try to figure that one out, right.

1580
01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:28,080
Speaker 14: So, you know, there's always people that want to get

1581
01:22:28,120 --> 01:22:32,439
Speaker 14: a bigger war, more wars and more places. And I say,

1582
01:22:32,680 --> 01:22:34,720
Speaker 14: you know, we don't have to accept all the invitations

1583
01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:39,600
Speaker 14: to war, and I say, hopefully we can prevent a

1584
01:22:39,680 --> 01:22:42,200
Speaker 14: broader expansion of it. You look at like how World

1585
01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:45,280
Speaker 14: War one started, I mean the assassinated actually Ferdinand and

1586
01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:47,439
Speaker 14: now you've got World War One. So I think that's

1587
01:22:47,479 --> 01:22:50,360
Speaker 14: why you should always be cautious about the linkages here.

1588
01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:53,880
Speaker 14: There's a lot at play. I mean, Venezuela and Iran

1589
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:59,920
Speaker 14: are the core suppliers for China's oil outside of Russia,

1590
01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:04,600
Speaker 14: and so there's a whole extra layer here between the

1591
01:23:04,760 --> 01:23:08,840
Speaker 14: United States in China in terms of positioning for global power.

1592
01:23:08,720 --> 01:23:11,160
Speaker 4: Which may, of course be the ultimate reason for all this.

1593
01:23:11,320 --> 01:23:13,320
Speaker 4: All right, for we part company, Let's get a definitive.

1594
01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:15,040
Speaker 4: I think last week you made a definitive or a

1595
01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:18,719
Speaker 4: yes or no. Today on the vote, Oh yeah.

1596
01:23:18,880 --> 01:23:21,840
Speaker 14: Yes, on the Warpowre's resolution. I made a speech on

1597
01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:25,960
Speaker 14: the floor of the House yesterday, and you know, I'm

1598
01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:28,320
Speaker 14: encouraging everyone to vote yes. As I'm walking off the floor,

1599
01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:29,920
Speaker 14: a reporter goes, so, does that mean you're going.

1600
01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:30,360
Speaker 10: To vote yes?

1601
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:33,519
Speaker 14: Yes, that speech where I spoke for three minutes and

1602
01:23:33,640 --> 01:23:36,200
Speaker 14: explained why I was going to be voting yes, I

1603
01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:40,320
Speaker 14: will be voting yes. And look, you know we've got

1604
01:23:40,760 --> 01:23:44,360
Speaker 14: a mixed reviews on that. Not surprising. It's a tough position.

1605
01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:48,240
Speaker 14: And look, I still love President Trump. I think we

1606
01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:52,879
Speaker 14: have an incredibly talented leadership Team at State and Department

1607
01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:56,120
Speaker 14: of War and everything else. But the Constitution requires a vote,

1608
01:23:56,280 --> 01:24:00,880
Speaker 14: and even the Warpowers Resolution is an act of law,

1609
01:24:01,240 --> 01:24:04,200
Speaker 14: and even the appropriations that we send to the military

1610
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:07,080
Speaker 14: say that none of these funds may be used in

1611
01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:11,040
Speaker 14: violation of the War Powers Act. So it is intended

1612
01:24:11,080 --> 01:24:14,120
Speaker 14: to be reinforced in every way, and that appropriations language

1613
01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:18,559
Speaker 14: was added to all defense appropriations after Obama's Libya things.

1614
01:24:18,640 --> 01:24:21,439
Speaker 14: So what has changed, Well, things like that have changed,

1615
01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:24,479
Speaker 14: and so there's been an effort by Congress to hold

1616
01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:28,280
Speaker 14: on to its constitutional authority here until it counts, and

1617
01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:30,880
Speaker 14: then you know, everybody can't wait to surrender it and

1618
01:24:31,080 --> 01:24:34,920
Speaker 14: go into passive mode and just pretend, oh, I don't know,

1619
01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:37,840
Speaker 14: I don't want to go on record, and then they'll

1620
01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:39,000
Speaker 14: passively cut the checks.

1621
01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:41,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, or they'll end up saying, yes, see, we didn't

1622
01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:43,160
Speaker 4: do anything and it all worked out really well, or

1623
01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:46,400
Speaker 4: just lay a heavy lot of criticism on Donald Trump

1624
01:24:46,400 --> 01:24:48,320
Speaker 4: and anybody who supported it and tried to get some

1625
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:52,240
Speaker 4: political advantage based on that. Yeah, seen this before, wash

1626
01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:55,799
Speaker 4: Rinse repeat Congressman Warren Davidson. Appreciate your candor, I appreciate

1627
01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:59,360
Speaker 4: your where you are on the vote, and I'm just

1628
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:01,840
Speaker 4: all I can say is got my popcorn out and

1629
01:25:01,880 --> 01:25:04,880
Speaker 4: hope this thing resolves itself in our favor. And God

1630
01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:07,320
Speaker 4: bless the American military. And you got to give him

1631
01:25:07,360 --> 01:25:11,320
Speaker 4: a huge, huge praise for the success they're having, whether

1632
01:25:11,439 --> 01:25:13,960
Speaker 4: or not it was well based upon something that was

1633
01:25:14,040 --> 01:25:17,200
Speaker 4: done legally. Thank you from a man who is a

1634
01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:22,400
Speaker 4: well he's a he's a rancher, Dustin Goldie. He is

1635
01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:24,640
Speaker 4: going to be talking about why are meat prices so

1636
01:25:24,840 --> 01:25:27,599
Speaker 4: damn high? That is the subject matter Tonight's empower Youth Seminar.

1637
01:25:27,640 --> 01:25:29,680
Speaker 4: You can either show up atree hundred Scarlatok's drive or

1638
01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:33,719
Speaker 4: log in and empower Youeamerica dot org. He actually owns

1639
01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:39,479
Speaker 4: his own I guess ranch, so Goldie Beef Farms in Clarksville,

1640
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:41,400
Speaker 4: Ohio is where he's from. He's got the Goldie Beef

1641
01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:45,280
Speaker 4: North Farm and raising local beef. So he has his

1642
01:25:45,479 --> 01:25:47,599
Speaker 4: finger on the pulse. What's going on on? Our beef

1643
01:25:47,640 --> 01:25:50,479
Speaker 4: prices are high? We'll get that next. In the meantime,

1644
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:51,880
Speaker 4: he could call him. We got a minute or two

1645
01:25:51,880 --> 01:25:53,880
Speaker 4: if you want to give me a call. Five one three,

1646
01:25:53,920 --> 01:25:56,800
Speaker 4: seven nine fifty eight two three talk. And this is

1647
01:25:56,880 --> 01:26:01,280
Speaker 4: a sad sad well basically local but also statewide story.

1648
01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:04,599
Speaker 4: We start with Indian Hill threats prompted a lockdown at

1649
01:26:04,760 --> 01:26:08,120
Speaker 4: multiple tri state schools the other day. Indian Hill exempt

1650
01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:11,840
Speaker 4: Village School District announced its high school and middle school

1651
01:26:11,880 --> 01:26:16,360
Speaker 4: were evacuated yesterday after a bomb threat released of the school.

1652
01:26:16,400 --> 01:26:19,559
Speaker 4: District received a potential bomb threat at Indian Hill High

1653
01:26:19,560 --> 01:26:22,559
Speaker 4: School about eleven am yesterday. Police showed up, immediately secured

1654
01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:25,479
Speaker 4: the scene, evacuated the students, and swept the building and

1655
01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:29,240
Speaker 4: determined there was no credible threat. Threat evactuation. Also Mason

1656
01:26:29,360 --> 01:26:32,719
Speaker 4: City Schools and CINCINNTI Public Schools dealing with a separate

1657
01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:35,400
Speaker 4: but similar threat. Police determine the threat at Mason High

1658
01:26:35,439 --> 01:26:38,120
Speaker 4: School was not credible, while a lockdown was initiated at

1659
01:26:38,200 --> 01:26:41,200
Speaker 4: Walnut Hills High School while police secured and determined all

1660
01:26:41,240 --> 01:26:46,080
Speaker 4: the students were safe. Eastern Brown High School similar threat.

1661
01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:48,880
Speaker 4: According to Brown County Sheriff's Office, both Eastern Brown High

1662
01:26:48,920 --> 01:26:51,880
Speaker 4: and Eastern Brown Middle School placed on lockdown, of course,

1663
01:26:51,920 --> 01:26:55,679
Speaker 4: while law enforcement investigated and secured the area. Sheriff's office

1664
01:26:55,720 --> 01:26:59,599
Speaker 4: said it was determined that approximately thirty five similar threats

1665
01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:04,479
Speaker 4: reported to schools throughout Ohio. Multiple school districts Northeast Ohio

1666
01:27:04,600 --> 01:27:07,160
Speaker 4: also got those threats, prompting multiple buildings to go on

1667
01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:10,800
Speaker 4: lockdown in the Cleveland area. Governor of Wain's communication director

1668
01:27:10,880 --> 01:27:14,280
Speaker 4: Lisa Peterson said State of Ohio State Highway Patrol determined

1669
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:17,519
Speaker 4: most of the threats were phone calls, indicating a person

1670
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:21,920
Speaker 4: quote driving a vehicle with firearms and pipe bombs would

1671
01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:24,679
Speaker 4: be traveling to the schools to cause harm close quote.

1672
01:27:24,720 --> 01:27:27,720
Speaker 4: While it's concerning, she said for parents and students, it's

1673
01:27:27,760 --> 01:27:30,040
Speaker 4: important to note that this is highly likely that these

1674
01:27:30,080 --> 01:27:34,080
Speaker 4: threats are swatting or hoax calls. There's a little illustration

1675
01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:37,320
Speaker 4: of what can be accomplished just with a single phone call.

1676
01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:42,760
Speaker 4: Just worried about this kind of thing going viral. Maybe

1677
01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:46,760
Speaker 4: it already has. Yeah, I remember the boy who cried wolf, Eh,

1678
01:27:47,080 --> 01:27:49,080
Speaker 4: you're gonna do this enough. There's gonna be enough lockdowns

1679
01:27:49,120 --> 01:27:50,960
Speaker 4: and at some point like, oh my god, it's another

1680
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:52,960
Speaker 4: one of these fake bomb threats. We really need to

1681
01:27:52,960 --> 01:27:54,599
Speaker 4: get all this kids out of school. They could use

1682
01:27:54,640 --> 01:27:58,680
Speaker 4: the school time, and that's the day there's actually a

1683
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:02,080
Speaker 4: genuine threat. Oh yeah, you're right, Joe. Maybe they can

1684
01:28:02,160 --> 01:28:04,600
Speaker 4: just when they go into lockdown, leave the building and

1685
01:28:04,640 --> 01:28:09,040
Speaker 4: then carry their protest ice signs distributed by the teachers

1686
01:28:09,840 --> 01:28:13,439
Speaker 4: that could be seven thirty five You're cynical, jokes Trecker,

1709
01:29:21,680 --> 01:29:23,639

1710

Speaker 4: a day, they don't produce milk. Good to have you

01:29:32,040 --> 01:29:33,880
Speaker 15: A long time listener, so thanks for having me.

1715
01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:35,920
Speaker 1: Oh wow, thank you, Dustin. That is so kind of you.

1716
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:38,639
Speaker 1: And I really appreciate you listening to the program. Man.

1717
01:29:39,120 --> 01:29:41,280
Speaker 4: And Okay, let's talk about why. But no, let me

1718
01:29:41,360 --> 01:29:44,799
Speaker 4: ask you first. We've had a discussion because beef prices

1719
01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:46,559
Speaker 4: are so high. I'm going to enter into a discussion

1720
01:29:46,600 --> 01:29:49,280
Speaker 4: we've had with our family. We were thinking about buying

1721
01:29:49,520 --> 01:29:52,240
Speaker 4: a half side of beef process and share, you know,

1722
01:29:52,400 --> 01:29:55,880
Speaker 4: dividing the cost among several different family members and groups.

1723
01:29:56,240 --> 01:29:58,040
Speaker 1: Do you do that you sell sides of beef.

1724
01:29:59,000 --> 01:29:59,519
Speaker 5: Yes we do.

1725
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:02,080
Speaker 15: And UH, I tell you, when you buy in bulk

1726
01:30:02,160 --> 01:30:05,200
Speaker 15: and quarters, haves or holes from a local farmer, you're

1727
01:30:05,240 --> 01:30:08,479
Speaker 15: actually saving a lot of money compared to the uh,

1728
01:30:08,920 --> 01:30:10,920
Speaker 15: the big beef and the big you know, big ag

1729
01:30:11,200 --> 01:30:14,599
Speaker 15: corporate farms from the grocery store. So UH, you're you're

1730
01:30:14,640 --> 01:30:16,840
Speaker 15: also gonna know where your beef's coming from.

1731
01:30:17,040 --> 01:30:17,600
Speaker 6: You're gonna know.

1732
01:30:17,640 --> 01:30:20,120
Speaker 15: What's you know as your beef been uh and you

1733
01:30:20,160 --> 01:30:23,520
Speaker 15: know it's not gonna be injected with antibiotics and growth hormones.

1734
01:30:23,800 --> 01:30:24,719
Speaker 5: It's gonna be healthy.

1735
01:30:24,840 --> 01:30:27,240
Speaker 15: And uh, I really really am a big proponent to

1736
01:30:27,280 --> 01:30:28,599
Speaker 15: buy from any local farmer.

1737
01:30:28,720 --> 01:30:30,200
Speaker 5: Farm the tables the best way to go.

1738
01:30:30,479 --> 01:30:32,080
Speaker 4: Hey man, I'm all over it. That's why I asked

1739
01:30:32,080 --> 01:30:35,200
Speaker 4: you the question, what's your website? Free free publicity Dustin,

1740
01:30:35,439 --> 01:30:37,200
Speaker 4: Where do we turn to find out about this?

1741
01:30:38,360 --> 01:30:40,760
Speaker 5: Eatgoldiebeef dot Com is our website.

1742
01:30:41,000 --> 01:30:44,719
Speaker 15: Uh, it's pretty easy to maneuver through, and UH highly

1743
01:30:44,840 --> 01:30:47,559
Speaker 15: encourage you to go there. And I always I always

1744
01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:51,559
Speaker 15: promote all my local farmers that we're all we we compete,

1745
01:30:51,640 --> 01:30:54,720
Speaker 15: but yet we're friends. And uh farm the tables the

1746
01:30:54,800 --> 01:30:56,880
Speaker 15: way to go and a lot of folks. It wasn't

1747
01:30:56,960 --> 01:30:59,599
Speaker 15: until COVID that a lot of folks realized you could

1748
01:30:59,600 --> 01:31:01,240
Speaker 15: buy directly from a local farmer.

1749
01:31:01,640 --> 01:31:04,479
Speaker 4: Well, I've had Congressman Thomas Massey on many many times

1750
01:31:04,520 --> 01:31:06,360
Speaker 4: over the years, and it's something he has brought up

1751
01:31:06,400 --> 01:31:09,920
Speaker 4: and also encourages, because he too raises beef himself. Sometimes

1752
01:31:09,960 --> 01:31:12,280
Speaker 4: it's the processing is the part. But recognizing that you

1753
01:31:12,400 --> 01:31:15,160
Speaker 4: got that angle covered. Why my wife's out there listening,

1754
01:31:15,360 --> 01:31:19,320
Speaker 4: Paul atte eat Goldiebeef dot com. We're gonna head on

1755
01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:19,720
Speaker 4: over there.

1756
01:31:20,120 --> 01:31:20,720
Speaker 5: You may have it.

1757
01:31:21,000 --> 01:31:23,280
Speaker 4: You have a new customer, brother, all right, you're doing

1758
01:31:23,320 --> 01:31:25,519
Speaker 4: a seminar tonight. Why the hell is beef rice?

1759
01:31:25,560 --> 01:31:25,600
Speaker 7: So?

1760
01:31:26,080 --> 01:31:28,800
Speaker 4: Ten dollars a pound for plain old eighty twenty ground

1761
01:31:28,800 --> 01:31:32,840
Speaker 4: beef at your local supermarket, sometimes more, but across the board.

1762
01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:35,080
Speaker 4: I quit making beef jerky because I couldn't stand the

1763
01:31:35,120 --> 01:31:38,880
Speaker 4: price of beef. So is this the herd levels are?

1764
01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:41,240
Speaker 4: Let's start with the herd levels, because I understand they're

1765
01:31:41,280 --> 01:31:43,560
Speaker 4: down to the They haven't been this low since the

1766
01:31:43,640 --> 01:31:46,160
Speaker 4: nineteen fifties. How did we get from there to hear?

1767
01:31:46,320 --> 01:31:48,479
Speaker 4: What was the What is the reason or reasons for that?

1768
01:31:48,760 --> 01:31:48,920
Speaker 5: Sir?

1769
01:31:49,840 --> 01:31:50,040
Speaker 10: Yeah?

1770
01:31:50,200 --> 01:31:51,280
Speaker 5: So so really you go.

1771
01:31:51,360 --> 01:31:54,400
Speaker 15: Back to our economics classes in our senior year in

1772
01:31:54,479 --> 01:31:57,920
Speaker 15: high school, and we all know tight supply with record

1773
01:31:58,040 --> 01:32:01,120
Speaker 15: high demand is going to equal high prices. And our

1774
01:32:01,200 --> 01:32:03,599
Speaker 15: cattle herd right now is are sitting around eighty six

1775
01:32:03,840 --> 01:32:07,560
Speaker 15: million head in the United States now in comparison, in

1776
01:32:07,680 --> 01:32:11,680
Speaker 15: nineteen fifty, mister Thomas, we had ninety million head and

1777
01:32:12,680 --> 01:32:15,639
Speaker 15: we are we are extremely low right now and it's

1778
01:32:15,680 --> 01:32:18,040
Speaker 15: a it's a real concern. So we're at the lowest

1779
01:32:18,080 --> 01:32:22,639
Speaker 15: we've ever been and record high demand. Americans love their beef,

1780
01:32:23,200 --> 01:32:27,720
Speaker 15: and uh it is really uh defied all logic that

1781
01:32:27,880 --> 01:32:32,840
Speaker 15: with these higher prices, demand continues to surge. So you know,

1782
01:32:33,040 --> 01:32:35,639
Speaker 15: our lowest herd in seventy five years with record high

1783
01:32:35,680 --> 01:32:36,800
Speaker 15: demand is going.

1784
01:32:36,720 --> 01:32:38,439
Speaker 5: To lead to these really really high prices.

1785
01:32:38,640 --> 01:32:42,000
Speaker 4: Well, asking the obvious. With record high demand, the incentive

1786
01:32:42,080 --> 01:32:44,280
Speaker 4: is there to build herds. I know that it's an

1787
01:32:44,320 --> 01:32:47,200
Speaker 4: expensive proposition, but is and it takes a what's the

1788
01:32:47,320 --> 01:32:51,160
Speaker 4: window between a calf being born and the time that

1789
01:32:51,240 --> 01:32:53,479
Speaker 4: can go off to slaughter? How many years is that

1790
01:32:53,640 --> 01:32:54,800
Speaker 4: or how long a period of time is that.

1791
01:32:54,920 --> 01:32:57,320
Speaker 15: Yeah, you're looking at you're looking at for a heifer

1792
01:32:57,400 --> 01:32:59,519
Speaker 15: that is born, which is a you know, first year female,

1793
01:32:59,560 --> 01:33:02,360
Speaker 15: you're looking at two to three years that you know,

1794
01:33:02,600 --> 01:33:05,400
Speaker 15: really you should wait to have them bread so they

1795
01:33:05,479 --> 01:33:09,200
Speaker 15: can start having a calf themselves. So what's happening is,

1796
01:33:09,280 --> 01:33:12,639
Speaker 15: you know, your ranchers are looking at these pretty historic

1797
01:33:12,760 --> 01:33:15,800
Speaker 15: prices at the stockyards and they're saying, hey, why are

1798
01:33:15,840 --> 01:33:17,600
Speaker 15: we going to rebuild the herd and we can go

1799
01:33:17,760 --> 01:33:20,240
Speaker 15: and take them and get you know, the most money

1800
01:33:20,280 --> 01:33:23,280
Speaker 15: that we've ever gotten as cattle ranchers in our lifetime

1801
01:33:23,320 --> 01:33:27,120
Speaker 15: because of these record high prices. A great example, twenty twenty,

1802
01:33:27,200 --> 01:33:30,519
Speaker 15: you could buy a six hundred pound steer to fatten

1803
01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:35,479
Speaker 15: out for slaughter for around you know, six hundred bucks.

1804
01:33:35,680 --> 01:33:37,519
Speaker 5: Today, that same six hundred pound.

1805
01:33:37,360 --> 01:33:39,559
Speaker 15: Steer is going to cost you anywhere between twenty three

1806
01:33:39,600 --> 01:33:40,720
Speaker 15: to twenty five hundred dollars.

1807
01:33:40,840 --> 01:33:42,679
Speaker 1: Holy cow, that's a huge increase.

1808
01:33:43,600 --> 01:33:45,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, holy cow, no pun intended.

1809
01:33:45,760 --> 01:33:48,679
Speaker 4: Well, and that's three years of feed. Are feed prices

1810
01:33:48,760 --> 01:33:50,360
Speaker 4: also up? Is that impacting the price?

1811
01:33:51,240 --> 01:33:51,439
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1812
01:33:51,560 --> 01:33:54,920
Speaker 15: So really, what's happened, mister Thomas is out out west

1813
01:33:55,160 --> 01:33:58,400
Speaker 15: we have had a twenty twenty five year drought that

1814
01:33:58,520 --> 01:34:01,759
Speaker 15: has devastated our ranchers out.

1815
01:34:01,640 --> 01:34:03,240
Speaker 5: There where there's no grass to grow.

1816
01:34:03,800 --> 01:34:05,519
Speaker 15: So what they've had to do is they've had to

1817
01:34:05,600 --> 01:34:10,920
Speaker 15: start importing roundbells of hail, of hay. They've got higher

1818
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:15,280
Speaker 15: feed costs with corn and soybeans being pretty high over

1819
01:34:15,280 --> 01:34:18,000
Speaker 15: the last five years, and what's happened is they just

1820
01:34:18,120 --> 01:34:21,360
Speaker 15: can't afford to raise their cattle, so they sell. And

1821
01:34:21,439 --> 01:34:26,120
Speaker 15: they've been selling at record numbers and selling out and

1822
01:34:26,200 --> 01:34:29,920
Speaker 15: were losing our ranchers left and right because they can't

1823
01:34:30,040 --> 01:34:30,439
Speaker 15: keep up.

1824
01:34:31,520 --> 01:34:33,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, for whatever reason, the goose that laid

1825
01:34:33,600 --> 01:34:35,400
Speaker 4: the golden eggs hit me because if these things are

1826
01:34:35,439 --> 01:34:37,759
Speaker 4: worth so much money and you sell them for slaughter,

1827
01:34:37,960 --> 01:34:40,080
Speaker 4: leaving you with nothing, you're not going to get any

1828
01:34:40,160 --> 01:34:42,759
Speaker 4: more production from that farm. Are you suggesting these farmers

1829
01:34:42,800 --> 01:34:43,800
Speaker 4: are just thrown in the towel?

1830
01:34:44,680 --> 01:34:45,000
Speaker 5: They are.

1831
01:34:45,040 --> 01:34:48,240
Speaker 15: They're selling out, they're selling out. And the other thing

1832
01:34:48,439 --> 01:34:52,679
Speaker 15: is our population of the rancher is in the sixty

1833
01:34:52,800 --> 01:34:56,280
Speaker 15: year range sixty years of age, yes, and their children

1834
01:34:56,800 --> 01:34:59,240
Speaker 15: are deciding that they do not want to put in

1835
01:34:59,360 --> 01:34:59,880
Speaker 15: that kind of w.

1836
01:35:00,720 --> 01:35:01,599
Speaker 5: And they're selling.

1837
01:35:02,160 --> 01:35:05,479
Speaker 15: So we're at a real crossroads where we're losing farms

1838
01:35:05,600 --> 01:35:08,639
Speaker 15: left and right here in America. And I really encouraged

1839
01:35:08,640 --> 01:35:11,120
Speaker 15: people to start looking into it. And following your Farm

1840
01:35:11,160 --> 01:35:16,080
Speaker 15: Bureau and at other publications because it is a crisis

1841
01:35:16,160 --> 01:35:17,240
Speaker 15: in this country right now.

1842
01:35:17,439 --> 01:35:20,599
Speaker 4: Well, you run the Goldie beef farms that you've been

1843
01:35:20,680 --> 01:35:23,360
Speaker 4: doing this. How long have you been raising cattle for slaughter?

1844
01:35:24,360 --> 01:35:27,160
Speaker 15: Well, we've been really doing it at a high number

1845
01:35:27,240 --> 01:35:31,040
Speaker 15: since around twenty and ten. My father did it really

1846
01:35:31,120 --> 01:35:34,080
Speaker 15: for family members prior to that, and my grandfather and

1847
01:35:34,160 --> 01:35:37,120
Speaker 15: great grandfather just more for it, just family. But we

1848
01:35:37,240 --> 01:35:41,640
Speaker 15: really started selling it commercially around twenty ten. And then

1849
01:35:41,680 --> 01:35:45,320
Speaker 15: in twenty and twenty, when we had a beef shortages

1850
01:35:45,400 --> 01:35:48,400
Speaker 15: in the stores, Americans began to research where can I

1851
01:35:48,520 --> 01:35:50,920
Speaker 15: find beef? And they realized you could buy from your

1852
01:35:50,960 --> 01:35:55,719
Speaker 15: local farmers and farm to table beef from local farmers

1853
01:35:55,800 --> 01:35:58,559
Speaker 15: has really been a very popular thing since twenty twenty.

1854
01:35:59,520 --> 01:36:01,599
Speaker 4: Is there a labor I mean, obviously if people don't

1855
01:36:01,600 --> 01:36:03,799
Speaker 4: want to work on farms, even the children of farmers,

1856
01:36:03,880 --> 01:36:06,160
Speaker 4: that suggest maybe there's a labor shortages. There are also

1857
01:36:06,320 --> 01:36:09,360
Speaker 4: maybe a tangential labor shortage even for the big industrial

1858
01:36:09,439 --> 01:36:12,120
Speaker 4: process of a beef folks, because they have to process

1859
01:36:12,200 --> 01:36:15,240
Speaker 4: it and it has to be you know, go ahead.

1860
01:36:15,960 --> 01:36:19,920
Speaker 15: Yeah, absolutely, and there's there's beef shortage or there's shortages

1861
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:23,200
Speaker 15: in labor, but there's also shortages in the big.

1862
01:36:23,160 --> 01:36:24,400
Speaker 5: Meat packing plants.

1863
01:36:25,400 --> 01:36:28,120
Speaker 15: They can't find enough workers. Just like just about every

1864
01:36:28,200 --> 01:36:31,200
Speaker 15: industry in America right now, it's hard to find people

1865
01:36:31,280 --> 01:36:34,800
Speaker 15: to come to work, and that slows down production. And

1866
01:36:34,840 --> 01:36:37,679
Speaker 15: when and as you know, mister Thomas, as you slow down.

1867
01:36:37,520 --> 01:36:40,200
Speaker 5: Production, that also raises the price of your product.

1868
01:36:40,360 --> 01:36:43,519
Speaker 4: Yes, it does. Wow, this is enlightening. And finally I

1869
01:36:43,640 --> 01:36:45,479
Speaker 4: have to ask this before we part company. You do

1870
01:36:45,520 --> 01:36:49,080
Speaker 4: the seminars tonight, It's seven pm. Empower you America dot

Speaker 5: Does does this?

1874
01:36:54,840 --> 01:36:56,439
Speaker 4: And I will call it nonsense going. I don't want

1875
01:36:56,439 --> 01:36:57,800
Speaker 4: to put the words in the US, but this whole

1876
01:36:57,960 --> 01:37:01,920
Speaker 4: green cow fly is warming the planet up? Is there

1877
01:37:01,920 --> 01:37:04,840
Speaker 4: any green component that's resulting in the price of beef

1878
01:37:04,920 --> 01:37:07,200
Speaker 4: going up? Is this sort of some the cattle herds

1879
01:37:07,240 --> 01:37:11,040
Speaker 4: are down almost intentionally behind the scenes. Is there a

1880
01:37:11,120 --> 01:37:11,840
Speaker 4: layer on that one?

1881
01:37:12,880 --> 01:37:15,479
Speaker 5: You know, I don't believe so.

1882
01:37:15,800 --> 01:37:19,320
Speaker 15: I think it's simply I think it's simply a supply

1883
01:37:19,520 --> 01:37:21,760
Speaker 15: and demand issue. You know, you got the New World

1884
01:37:21,840 --> 01:37:26,160
Speaker 15: screwworm down in Mexico and South America as well. That

1885
01:37:26,600 --> 01:37:29,960
Speaker 15: has shut our imports down. Now, mister Thomas, we import

1886
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:33,840
Speaker 15: a lot of beef from South America that is lean Americans.

1887
01:37:33,880 --> 01:37:35,240
Speaker 5: Our beef is fattier.

1888
01:37:35,320 --> 01:37:37,519
Speaker 15: So what we do is we import that lean beef

1889
01:37:37,600 --> 01:37:40,120
Speaker 15: in mix it with our fattier beef to give us

1890
01:37:40,160 --> 01:37:44,280
Speaker 15: that eighty twenty. So by having that border shut down

1891
01:37:44,320 --> 01:37:47,559
Speaker 15: from all imports, that's also really really hurt our supply.

1892
01:37:47,720 --> 01:37:50,639
Speaker 15: And again tight supply, high demand equals high beef prices.

1893
01:37:51,360 --> 01:37:53,479
Speaker 4: Wow, I'll tell you what it's going to be. A

1894

01:39:49,439 --> 01:39:50,800
Speaker 4: the break at the top of there is kind of

1937
01:39:50,960 --> 01:39:54,760
Speaker 4: like a hobby during retirement. Man, you are closely analyzing

1938
01:39:55,320 --> 01:39:58,000
Speaker 4: the expenditures of the City of Cincinnati, and the timing

1939
01:39:58,080 --> 01:40:00,839
Speaker 4: of you being here could not be better. Christopher Smithman

1940
01:40:00,920 --> 01:40:04,160
Speaker 4: was on this morning venting his spleen in a special

1941
01:40:04,240 --> 01:40:06,960
Speaker 4: Spleen done edition for this because the City of Cincinnati

1942
01:40:07,040 --> 01:40:09,599
Speaker 4: is talking about a five percent across the board cut,

1943
01:40:09,760 --> 01:40:13,920
Speaker 4: including cuts to public safety after infusing five million plus

1944
01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:16,280
Speaker 4: dollars last year. Because we have a public safety problem.

1945
01:40:16,520 --> 01:40:19,320
Speaker 4: They want to cut police and fire, claiming we got

1946
01:40:19,360 --> 01:40:22,000
Speaker 4: a budget problem. They want to increase taxes as well.

1947
01:40:22,120 --> 01:40:25,200
Speaker 4: Todd Zinzer, they have a hole to fill. But whoa, whoa, whoa,

1948
01:40:26,120 --> 01:40:28,479
Speaker 4: todd Zinzer. You told me before we started talking on

1949
01:40:28,560 --> 01:40:31,080
Speaker 4: air this morning that we don't have a budget problem

1950
01:40:31,120 --> 01:40:32,800
Speaker 4: in the city. Good to have you back in, my friend.

1951
01:40:32,960 --> 01:40:33,559
Speaker 10: Thank you, Brian.

1952
01:40:33,800 --> 01:40:35,639
Speaker 1: No, there isn't a budget problem.

1953
01:40:35,720 --> 01:40:38,240
Speaker 16: No, I don't think there's a budget problem. They they

1954
01:40:38,360 --> 01:40:42,479
Speaker 16: really have spent a lot of money just recently, for example,

1955
01:40:43,120 --> 01:40:47,920
Speaker 16: on things that are not really towards public safety, for example,

1956
01:40:48,040 --> 01:40:50,320
Speaker 16: or any any of them must do type of things

1957
01:40:50,400 --> 01:40:51,160
Speaker 16: that the city.

1958
01:40:51,040 --> 01:40:54,400
Speaker 4: Has, road bridges, infrastructure of public safety, the core functions

1959
01:40:54,400 --> 01:40:54,960
Speaker 4: of government.

1960
01:40:55,080 --> 01:41:00,679
Speaker 16: Yes, they just spent three point eight million dollars last week, folks,

1961
01:41:00,840 --> 01:41:04,679
Speaker 16: on a dozen different purposes. Three of them, for example,

1962
01:41:05,760 --> 01:41:10,479
Speaker 16: almost six hundred thousand dollars I think, on efforts to

1963
01:41:10,600 --> 01:41:16,880
Speaker 16: help illegal immigrants who need representation against the government.

1964
01:41:17,080 --> 01:41:19,000
Speaker 1: Oh well, of course, that's a core function of cities

1965
01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:19,679
Speaker 1: since a government.

1966
01:41:19,800 --> 01:41:22,080
Speaker 16: Right, So there are things like that. Just a corp

1967
01:41:22,160 --> 01:41:26,400
Speaker 16: of weeks ago, they approved twelve million dollars for a

1968
01:41:26,479 --> 01:41:27,400
Speaker 16: new solar array.

1969
01:41:28,240 --> 01:41:31,280
Speaker 1: Oh you, oh man, you had you came in here

1970
01:41:31,320 --> 01:41:33,720
Speaker 1: to piss me off, and just I.

1971
01:41:33,760 --> 01:41:36,240
Speaker 16: Think part of this three point eight this past week

1972
01:41:36,320 --> 01:41:38,439
Speaker 16: or this week, I think it was this week actually

1973
01:41:39,640 --> 01:41:43,800
Speaker 16: four hundred and fifty thousand dollars to help green to

1974
01:41:43,960 --> 01:41:47,080
Speaker 16: promote the Green Workforce, which I don't really know what

1975
01:41:47,200 --> 01:41:49,880
Speaker 16: that is, but those are the kind of things that

1976
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:53,400
Speaker 16: they spend money on that they really don't need.

1977
01:41:53,360 --> 01:41:58,519
Speaker 4: To the green workforce. Yeah, well, I suppose that's an

1978
01:41:58,720 --> 01:42:01,880
Speaker 4: opportunity for party loyalists to get a salary and probably

1979
01:42:01,960 --> 01:42:05,280
Speaker 4: do nothing but maybe wear t shirts promoting the environment

1980
01:42:05,479 --> 01:42:05,920
Speaker 4: or something.

1981
01:42:06,280 --> 01:42:08,519
Speaker 16: Yeah, there's so much. There's so much of that, Brian,

1982
01:42:08,720 --> 01:42:10,560
Speaker 16: and I think what they're trying to do with this

1983
01:42:10,720 --> 01:42:14,920
Speaker 16: reparations issue is in the Green New Deal or the

1984
01:42:15,160 --> 01:42:20,200
Speaker 16: Green New Green Cincinnati Plan, they put the plan in place,

1985
01:42:20,840 --> 01:42:23,560
Speaker 16: and then throughout the year they spend money and the

1986
01:42:23,800 --> 01:42:27,479
Speaker 16: justification is it to implement the Green Cincinnati Plan.

1987
01:42:27,920 --> 01:42:28,479
Speaker 5: So the.

1988
01:42:30,160 --> 01:42:33,120
Speaker 16: Cost of that particular program doesn't need to need to

1989
01:42:33,160 --> 01:42:36,120
Speaker 16: be justified on its own, it's justified by the Green

1990
01:42:36,200 --> 01:42:38,560
Speaker 16: Cincinnati Plan. They're going to do the same thing with

1991
01:42:38,680 --> 01:42:41,400
Speaker 16: this reparations plan, is they're going to they're going to

1992
01:42:41,479 --> 01:42:43,719
Speaker 16: set it up and then as they spend money throughout

1993
01:42:43,760 --> 01:42:48,400
Speaker 16: the year on things that tangentially fit that, they'll call

1994
01:42:48,479 --> 01:42:49,720
Speaker 16: it reparations.

1995
01:42:50,040 --> 01:42:56,040
Speaker 4: So they will hire non governmental organizations out there and

1996
01:42:56,320 --> 01:43:00,920
Speaker 4: separately pay them to implement manager otherwise deal with the

1997
01:43:01,479 --> 01:43:04,719
Speaker 4: separate the overarching five million dollar reparations program.

1998
01:43:04,840 --> 01:43:07,439
Speaker 16: That's what I think is going to happen. And the

1999
01:43:07,600 --> 01:43:11,559
Speaker 16: reparations issue, at least my involvement with it, goes back

2000
01:43:11,600 --> 01:43:15,680
Speaker 16: to the railroad campaign. Two weeks before the election or

2001
01:43:15,760 --> 01:43:22,280
Speaker 16: the referendum, the City Council, the Vice mayor in particular,

2002
01:43:23,120 --> 01:43:29,920
Speaker 16: entered a motion for the Rising fifteen Railway fund they

2003
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:33,679
Speaker 16: wanted to take. They wanted to establish a Rising fifteen

2004
01:43:33,800 --> 01:43:37,960
Speaker 16: Railway Fund and take ten percent of whatever the city

2005
01:43:38,040 --> 01:43:40,800
Speaker 16: gets in a distribution and put it in that fund.

2006
01:43:41,880 --> 01:43:45,880
Speaker 16: And they did that two weeks before the election. And

2007
01:43:46,439 --> 01:43:48,519
Speaker 16: when I saw that it was well, they were just

2008
01:43:48,600 --> 01:43:51,519
Speaker 16: trying to get support from the black community which was

2009
01:43:51,560 --> 01:43:55,240
Speaker 16: wishy washy on the sale of the railroad. And then

2010
01:43:55,520 --> 01:44:02,080
Speaker 16: after the election where they actually won, the motions went away.

2011
01:44:02,680 --> 01:44:07,679
Speaker 16: Oh really, And it came back in January of twenty five.

2012
01:44:09,240 --> 01:44:15,880
Speaker 16: That's when they introduced the reparations, the Rising fifteen Railway Fund,

2013
01:44:15,960 --> 01:44:21,240
Speaker 16: the Rising fifteen Economic Development Fund, and I went down

2014
01:44:21,320 --> 01:44:25,120
Speaker 16: and objected, just based on the socioeconomic data that they

2015
01:44:25,240 --> 01:44:30,560
Speaker 16: said supported the motion. It consisted of three columns, the

2016
01:44:30,680 --> 01:44:37,080
Speaker 16: fifteen neighborhoods, the median income of those neighborhoods, and the

2017
01:44:37,280 --> 01:44:39,840
Speaker 16: racial makeup of those neighborhoods.

2018
01:44:39,880 --> 01:44:40,800
Speaker 7: That was it.

2019
01:44:41,040 --> 01:44:42,880
Speaker 1: That was it, And so I did.

2020
01:44:42,960 --> 01:44:45,439
Speaker 16: I went down to city council and I told them

2021
01:44:45,439 --> 01:44:48,400
Speaker 16: I didn't think was appropriate to make government funding decisions

2022
01:44:48,439 --> 01:44:53,960
Speaker 16: based on race, which this absolutely was. So I don't

2023
01:44:53,960 --> 01:44:56,080
Speaker 16: know if that had an impact, but they did not

2024
01:44:56,360 --> 01:44:59,679
Speaker 16: vote on that motion. And so the next thing you had,

2025
01:45:01,040 --> 01:45:04,040
Speaker 16: also in January of twenty five for the Rising fifteen

2026
01:45:04,600 --> 01:45:07,559
Speaker 16: is they wanted to take the railway money and apply

2027
01:45:07,720 --> 01:45:11,200
Speaker 16: it to side a sidewalk repair program where if you're

2028
01:45:11,240 --> 01:45:15,479
Speaker 16: delinquent in fixing your sidewalk and you've been penalized, they

2029
01:45:15,560 --> 01:45:18,640
Speaker 16: wanted to use railway money to fix those sidewalks and

2030
01:45:18,720 --> 01:45:21,280
Speaker 16: relieve the property owner of that penalty.

2031
01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:24,760
Speaker 4: Well, that's not property. That is the responsibility of this

2032
01:45:24,880 --> 01:45:26,880
Speaker 4: city in the first place, I know. So this is

2033
01:45:26,880 --> 01:45:28,879
Speaker 4: another social welfare program in disguise.

2034
01:45:29,040 --> 01:45:33,160
Speaker 16: Yes, So I think that the thing about the reparations

2035
01:45:33,240 --> 01:45:37,920
Speaker 16: motion is that there's no question that Cincinnati has a

2036
01:45:38,000 --> 01:45:45,760
Speaker 16: segregation problem. There's no question about that, and the reparations

2037
01:45:45,960 --> 01:45:50,040
Speaker 16: is really just a label. It's a charged or loaded

2038
01:45:50,479 --> 01:45:53,840
Speaker 16: word that people see it and they think that means

2039
01:45:53,920 --> 01:45:58,280
Speaker 16: that we're going to go and pay payments to people

2040
01:45:58,600 --> 01:46:02,880
Speaker 16: whose ancestors were in slaved That's not what this reparations

2041
01:46:02,960 --> 01:46:05,760
Speaker 16: program is. This is really just a housing program that

2042
01:46:05,840 --> 01:46:07,880
Speaker 16: they've labeled reparations.

2043
01:46:09,200 --> 01:46:12,479
Speaker 4: Well, and the predicate is there used to be a

2044
01:46:12,600 --> 01:46:16,120
Speaker 4: discrimination in the real estate market. Agents were told do

2045
01:46:16,240 --> 01:46:21,400
Speaker 4: not show these particular properties to black people. The zoning issues,

2046
01:46:21,520 --> 01:46:24,679
Speaker 4: all of that was eradicated over the years and deemed unlawful,

2047
01:46:24,720 --> 01:46:27,800
Speaker 4: which exactly was. But you said, we do have a

2048
01:46:27,920 --> 01:46:30,120
Speaker 4: segregation problem in the city of Cincinnati.

2049
01:46:30,200 --> 01:46:30,599
Speaker 10: Oh yeah.

2050
01:46:30,840 --> 01:46:35,639
Speaker 16: The poverty, for example, is totally concentrated in the West

2051
01:46:35,800 --> 01:46:42,120
Speaker 16: End and neighborhoods like Avondale. It's just concentrated there because

2052
01:46:42,200 --> 01:46:48,800
Speaker 16: of these zoning and property of policies that existed so

2053
01:46:48,920 --> 01:46:49,599
Speaker 16: many years.

2054
01:46:49,439 --> 01:46:51,920
Speaker 1: Ago, which continued to this day.

2055
01:46:52,840 --> 01:46:55,840
Speaker 16: I get the impression to a certain extent. Yeah, the

2056
01:46:55,880 --> 01:47:00,719
Speaker 16: big issue was, the big boiling point was the Kenyan

2057
01:47:00,800 --> 01:47:04,240
Speaker 16: Bar neighborhood. If you've never heard of that, that was

2058
01:47:04,360 --> 01:47:07,760
Speaker 16: like the Queensgate area and the west part of downtown.

2059
01:47:08,720 --> 01:47:11,479
Speaker 16: It was the largest neighborhood in the city.

2060
01:47:11,720 --> 01:47:12,400
Speaker 1: Back in the day.

2061
01:47:13,160 --> 01:47:17,680
Speaker 16: This was in the sixties, I guess, And that's when

2062
01:47:17,760 --> 01:47:21,439
Speaker 16: they took I seventy five and took it right through

2063
01:47:21,560 --> 01:47:25,200
Speaker 16: Kenyon Bar. They displaced all the residents there, and those

2064
01:47:25,320 --> 01:47:29,679
Speaker 16: residents had to move, and it concentrated in the West

2065
01:47:29,800 --> 01:47:32,600
Speaker 16: End and then into these other areas. And that's what

2066
01:47:33,600 --> 01:47:35,640
Speaker 16: that's what the city's dealing with in terms of the

2067
01:47:35,720 --> 01:47:36,960
Speaker 16: concentration of poverty.

2068
01:47:37,240 --> 01:47:39,519
Speaker 4: Okay, so they feel they have a moral high ground

2069
01:47:39,640 --> 01:47:43,920
Speaker 4: to allocate this money. Yes, all right, Now, let me

2070
01:47:44,040 --> 01:47:46,040
Speaker 4: just ask a very practical question. Even if it's the

2071
01:47:46,080 --> 01:47:50,479
Speaker 4: greatest idea since sliced bread, five million dollars, when you're

2072
01:47:50,520 --> 01:47:54,439
Speaker 4: dealing with a housing issue, I can't see that going.

2073
01:47:54,360 --> 01:47:57,240
Speaker 1: A long way. Todd, That's right, that's exactly right.

2074
01:47:57,520 --> 01:48:01,120
Speaker 16: Symbolic, Yes, it's very symbolic, and it's very consistent with

2075
01:48:01,280 --> 01:48:06,040
Speaker 16: what this city Council does. You've got the Financial Freedom Blueprint,

2076
01:48:06,760 --> 01:48:11,000
Speaker 16: You've got the Act for Sincy that spreads out all

2077
01:48:11,040 --> 01:48:14,280
Speaker 16: this money. It's called it's called spreading the peanut butter.

2078
01:48:14,720 --> 01:48:17,280
Speaker 16: And they keep spreading the peanut butter and it gets

2079
01:48:17,320 --> 01:48:20,640
Speaker 16: thinner and thinner and thinner. Yeah, because they're trying to

2080
01:48:20,680 --> 01:48:24,639
Speaker 16: accommodate all of these social services and social justice purposes.

2081
01:48:26,840 --> 01:48:29,800
Speaker 4: Well, I think I made a comment to you on

2082
01:48:29,840 --> 01:48:32,439
Speaker 4: the heels of a different way of putting it. You know,

2083
01:48:32,920 --> 01:48:35,240
Speaker 4: you can be a bleeding heart and think you need

2084
01:48:35,320 --> 01:48:38,240
Speaker 4: to help and fund and you know every worthy cause

2085
01:48:38,439 --> 01:48:41,080
Speaker 4: or maybe even not worthy cause that comes down the road,

2086
01:48:41,160 --> 01:48:44,360
Speaker 4: but you're eventually going to bleed to death. That's right,

2087
01:48:44,520 --> 01:48:45,839
Speaker 4: and that's where we find ourselves.

2088
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:46,080
Speaker 7: Right.

2089
01:48:46,439 --> 01:48:49,080
Speaker 4: So it's not that it's not that we we actually

2090
01:48:49,240 --> 01:48:52,360
Speaker 4: have a budget problem, but it's brought about by that reality.

2091
01:48:52,479 --> 01:48:54,839
Speaker 4: You don't need to spend all this money. It's ultimately

2092
01:48:54,880 --> 01:48:57,880
Speaker 4: a pointless gesture virtue signaling. It allows you to hire

2093
01:48:57,960 --> 01:49:00,559
Speaker 4: all of these wealth or these political loyal us who

2094
01:49:00,840 --> 01:49:02,920
Speaker 4: basically could go out in the world, use up those

2095
01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:04,599
Speaker 4: funds and accomplish nothing.

2096
01:49:04,880 --> 01:49:05,280
Speaker 10: That's right.

2097
01:49:05,439 --> 01:49:08,000
Speaker 4: Okay, that's it boiled down in a nutshell. We're gonna

2098
01:49:08,000 --> 01:49:09,760
Speaker 4: pause right now. We'll bring Todd zzerbeca and waits you

2099
01:49:09,800 --> 01:49:11,760
Speaker 4: here where some of these this money goes? He say

2100
01:49:11,800 --> 01:49:12,240
Speaker 4: a bar.

2101
01:49:14,360 --> 01:49:14,800
Speaker 1: Eight nineteen.

2102
01:49:14,800 --> 01:49:17,439
Speaker 4: If you have Karose de Talk station, Citizen Watchdog is

2103
01:49:17,479 --> 01:49:20,519
Speaker 4: the podcast. Citizen Watchdog is the man who is todds

2104
01:49:20,560 --> 01:49:23,120
Speaker 4: Zinzer in studio and Tomam will give you props because

2105
01:49:23,160 --> 01:49:26,320
Speaker 4: you're exposing the nefarious reality of where our money, our

2106
01:49:26,560 --> 01:49:29,280
Speaker 4: City of Cincinnati taxpayer dollars being spent by this runaway

2107
01:49:29,360 --> 01:49:32,839
Speaker 4: council and mayor. You remind me of the citizen journalists

2108
01:49:32,880 --> 01:49:34,840
Speaker 4: who expose well, they think they knew about it, it

2109
01:49:34,880 --> 01:49:37,040
Speaker 4: had been reported on a lot, but actually blew up

2110
01:49:37,080 --> 01:49:40,639
Speaker 4: the whole Minneapolis Leering Center thing. Yes, he walked around,

2111
01:49:40,800 --> 01:49:43,479
Speaker 4: he saw what was going on, he reported it, and boom,

2112
01:49:44,240 --> 01:49:47,400
Speaker 4: that's you. With regard to the expenses, the City of

2113
01:49:47,439 --> 01:49:49,760
Speaker 4: Cincinnati is engaging out of the projects they're engaging in,

2114
01:49:49,880 --> 01:49:51,920
Speaker 4: so they claim they got a financial crisis. They want

2115
01:49:51,920 --> 01:49:53,760
Speaker 4: to raise the taxes. They're talking about a five percent

2116
01:49:53,800 --> 01:49:58,120
Speaker 4: across the board cut, including fire and safety, and you're

2117
01:49:58,240 --> 01:50:01,320
Speaker 4: pointing out that they spend god and gobs of money

2118
01:50:01,479 --> 01:50:04,960
Speaker 4: basically virtue signaling with no hope of actual, real, something

2119
01:50:05,040 --> 01:50:08,800
Speaker 4: realistic coming from these endeavors by spending it on some

2120
01:50:08,920 --> 01:50:10,240
Speaker 4: of the programs you mentioned before.

2121
01:50:11,160 --> 01:50:12,320
Speaker 1: Tell everybody about the bar.

2122
01:50:13,520 --> 01:50:15,960
Speaker 16: Well, this has been on the agenda for a long time.

2123
01:50:16,320 --> 01:50:18,120
Speaker 16: I think it's been in the works for a long time,

2124
01:50:18,600 --> 01:50:21,439
Speaker 16: but they've been appropriating money to something called the West

2125
01:50:21,520 --> 01:50:25,320
Speaker 16: End Sports Bar and Grill, and my sense is that

2126
01:50:25,439 --> 01:50:28,439
Speaker 16: it's a minority owned business that's been you know, they're

2127
01:50:28,479 --> 01:50:32,719
Speaker 16: trying to revitalize in the West End and so every

2128
01:50:32,800 --> 01:50:35,000
Speaker 16: once in a while they'll they'll put money into it.

2129
01:50:35,720 --> 01:50:38,439
Speaker 16: And that's not uncommon for this council to do that.

2130
01:50:39,080 --> 01:50:41,000
Speaker 5: But how is it?

2131
01:50:41,160 --> 01:50:43,080
Speaker 4: I mean, here again pointing out that you're the one

2132
01:50:43,120 --> 01:50:45,920
Speaker 4: that's exposing this. There is I don't know that there

2133
01:50:46,000 --> 01:50:49,400
Speaker 4: is any local media outlets five nine twelve.

2134
01:50:49,200 --> 01:50:49,960
Speaker 1: Fox nineteen.

2135
01:50:50,520 --> 01:50:52,920
Speaker 4: They have reporters since they acquire Scott Wartman should be

2136
01:50:52,960 --> 01:50:54,960
Speaker 4: on the job, don't we Is there no one who

2137
01:50:55,040 --> 01:50:57,080
Speaker 4: else in the world who's paying attention to this? I mean,

2138
01:50:57,560 --> 01:51:02,599
Speaker 4: these are really really it just sounds like you're revealing

2139
01:51:03,000 --> 01:51:05,599
Speaker 4: a level of corruption that my brain can't quite comprehend.

2140
01:51:05,640 --> 01:51:06,600
Speaker 1: This morning, Todd, Well, I.

2141
01:51:06,600 --> 01:51:10,120
Speaker 16: Think everybody's gotten used to this council spending money like this.

2142
01:51:10,479 --> 01:51:13,360
Speaker 16: These for example, this three point eight million that they

2143
01:51:13,439 --> 01:51:19,879
Speaker 16: approved this week. Those motions are sprinkled throughout the agenda.

2144
01:51:20,200 --> 01:51:22,000
Speaker 16: So what I do and I get an agenda for

2145
01:51:22,120 --> 01:51:25,000
Speaker 16: the city Council, I put it through AI and say

2146
01:51:25,080 --> 01:51:27,840
Speaker 16: simplify this for me and outline it, and it takes

2147
01:51:27,920 --> 01:51:31,559
Speaker 16: all this legal mumbo jumbo and language in the agenda,

2148
01:51:32,400 --> 01:51:35,240
Speaker 16: takes all that out and just lists what's happening. And

2149
01:51:35,400 --> 01:51:37,080
Speaker 16: so I take that and then I post it on

2150
01:51:37,160 --> 01:51:37,719
Speaker 16: my Facebook.

2151
01:51:38,080 --> 01:51:39,800
Speaker 4: And that's why you need to follow Todd Zinzer on

2152
01:51:39,880 --> 01:51:43,960
Speaker 4: Facebook and also listen to his Citizen Watchdog podcast. Well

2153
01:51:44,080 --> 01:51:46,520
Speaker 4: what else is revealing here? I know there's an opportunity

2154
01:51:46,600 --> 01:51:49,040
Speaker 4: for City of Cincinnati to chime in on this, and

2155
01:51:49,080 --> 01:51:52,240
Speaker 4: I want to remind listeners in the city. March eleventh,

2156
01:51:52,960 --> 01:51:55,720
Speaker 4: North Avondale Rec Center at five point thirty, you can

01:51:55,800 --> 01:51:58,439
Speaker 4: talk to them about the budget and the potential cuts

2158
01:51:58,479 --> 01:52:00,559
Speaker 4: coming your way. Maybe bring Todd's in. There's a list

2159
01:52:00,640 --> 01:52:03,080
Speaker 4: of things they actually spent money on, and say why

2160
01:52:03,120 --> 01:52:05,320
Speaker 4: in the hell did you do this and didn't pave

2161
01:52:05,439 --> 01:52:08,800
Speaker 4: my street? How many road models we have outstanding, Todd,

2162
01:52:08,840 --> 01:52:10,240
Speaker 4: that have been building up over the years.

2163
01:52:10,880 --> 01:52:11,200
Speaker 10: I don't know.

2164
01:52:11,439 --> 01:52:13,880
Speaker 4: It's insane though, I mean it's a lot. Okay, that's

2165
01:52:14,160 --> 01:52:17,639
Speaker 4: infrastructure falling apart. That is a screaming, waving red flag.

2166
01:52:17,960 --> 01:52:20,000
Speaker 4: That's a broken window that needs to be fixed to

2167
01:52:20,080 --> 01:52:22,760
Speaker 4: bring in more business and industry, Right, Todd, That's right,

2168
01:52:22,920 --> 01:52:26,479
Speaker 4: damn straight. March sixteenth, five point thirty pm Sailor Park

2169
01:52:26,600 --> 01:52:29,920
Speaker 4: rec Center to chime in on these budget suggestions in

2170
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:32,240
Speaker 4: the across the board cuts. What else do you have

2171
01:52:32,360 --> 01:52:32,840
Speaker 4: on your list?

2172
01:52:33,280 --> 01:52:36,080
Speaker 16: Well, last last year, since since we just kicked off

2173
01:52:36,120 --> 01:52:38,320
Speaker 16: the budget process last year, I went to one of

2174
01:52:38,360 --> 01:52:43,040
Speaker 16: these public hearings and I suggested to them that they

2175
01:52:43,080 --> 01:52:47,040
Speaker 16: should have the Solicitor's office tell them what does the

2176
01:52:47,120 --> 01:52:52,320
Speaker 16: city do that we must do by law, by contract,

2177
01:52:52,520 --> 01:52:57,800
Speaker 16: by grant assurances, what are we union agreements? What are

2178
01:52:57,920 --> 01:53:02,120
Speaker 16: we legally obligated to pay? And then anything left over

2179
01:53:02,600 --> 01:53:06,439
Speaker 16: is all discretionary and you should figure that out so

2180
01:53:06,560 --> 01:53:09,400
Speaker 16: that you know how much discretionary money you really have

2181
01:53:10,160 --> 01:53:13,439
Speaker 16: versus what mandatory requirements are. So I'm going to go

2182
01:53:13,520 --> 01:53:16,320
Speaker 16: back and make that suggestion again. And then the other

2183
01:53:16,439 --> 01:53:20,559
Speaker 16: thing we're going to suggest or request is that when

2184
01:53:21,240 --> 01:53:24,240
Speaker 16: at some point during the process, the members of council

2185
01:53:24,360 --> 01:53:28,080
Speaker 16: come in with a list of organizations that they want

2186
01:53:28,080 --> 01:53:31,320
Speaker 16: to give money to, and it can total over over

2187
01:53:31,360 --> 01:53:36,240
Speaker 16: a million dollars for any particular member of council, I've

2188
01:53:36,280 --> 01:53:39,240
Speaker 16: asked them just when they send these memos in to

2189
01:53:39,360 --> 01:53:43,439
Speaker 16: the city manager, they need to sign an attestation that

2190
01:53:43,560 --> 01:53:47,320
Speaker 16: they do not have any conflicts of interests those organizations.

2191
01:53:47,760 --> 01:53:50,160
Speaker 16: So we're going to go back and make that recommendation

2192
01:53:51,040 --> 01:53:54,479
Speaker 16: as well, And if we need to, I think I

2193
01:53:54,600 --> 01:53:59,559
Speaker 16: said this online or my podcast, we're going to organize

2194
01:53:59,600 --> 01:54:03,679
Speaker 16: people to start sending in letters requesting that those city councils.

2195
01:54:03,720 --> 01:54:05,280
Speaker 4: I was just going to ask you, if there's a

2196
01:54:05,360 --> 01:54:08,040
Speaker 4: call to action, I would think calling up your any

2197
01:54:08,040 --> 01:54:10,400
Speaker 4: of the members or council or all of them and

2198
01:54:10,720 --> 01:54:13,720
Speaker 4: basically say quit funding these non government organizations and these

2199
01:54:13,760 --> 01:54:15,920
Speaker 4: pet projects until you get your damn budget in line

2200
01:54:15,960 --> 01:54:19,320
Speaker 4: and pave my street. But I love that, You know why,

2201
01:54:19,439 --> 01:54:22,240
Speaker 4: because the minute someone tries to resist that, you got

2202
01:54:22,360 --> 01:54:24,240
Speaker 4: to look at them and say, what are you trying

2203
01:54:24,360 --> 01:54:27,919
Speaker 4: to hide? You don't want to disclose a direct financial

2204
01:54:28,000 --> 01:54:30,880
Speaker 4: connection to the money that you're spending the taxpayer dollars on.

2205
01:54:31,200 --> 01:54:35,600
Speaker 4: Now here's the thing, demand accountability. If I think I said,

2206
01:54:35,680 --> 01:54:37,840
Speaker 4: I think it must have been online. But if they

2207
01:54:37,920 --> 01:54:39,720
Speaker 4: were to do that, if they were to put that in,

2208
01:54:40,040 --> 01:54:42,760
Speaker 4: then Mayor would not be able to sign that memo

2209
01:54:43,520 --> 01:54:45,600
Speaker 4: because two of the people on his list are going

2210
01:54:45,680 --> 01:54:49,560
Speaker 4: to be people or organizations where he sits on the board.

2211
01:54:51,520 --> 01:54:54,080
Speaker 4: You see why we are lucky to have Todd Zinzer

2212
01:54:54,240 --> 01:54:59,520
Speaker 4: citizen watchdog. I wish there were more reporters out there

2213
01:54:59,560 --> 01:55:02,760
Speaker 4: looking this like Todd Zenzer does in his spare time

2214
01:55:02,920 --> 01:55:05,760
Speaker 4: and at no cost. I think you should put a

2215
01:55:05,800 --> 01:55:08,400
Speaker 4: request in to be a non government organization to get

2216
01:55:08,440 --> 01:55:10,400
Speaker 4: some money from the City of Cincinnati, since you're doing

2217
01:55:10,440 --> 01:55:12,400
Speaker 4: the laboring or the work that they should be doing

2218
01:55:12,480 --> 01:55:14,720
Speaker 4: every day. Todd Zenzer, let me thank you from the

2219
01:55:14,760 --> 01:55:16,280
Speaker 4: bottom of my heart for the work that you're doing.

2220
01:55:16,320 --> 01:55:17,920
Speaker 4: If we're coming to the studio and bringing this to

2221
01:55:18,000 --> 01:55:21,560
Speaker 4: everyone's attention, and let's keep pounding away. And yes, there's

2222
01:55:21,560 --> 01:55:24,879
Speaker 4: a call to action. Demand accountability, demand them to disclose

2223
01:55:25,000 --> 01:55:27,560
Speaker 4: any financial interest they have in a single dollar that

2224
01:55:27,680 --> 01:55:30,440
Speaker 4: goes out. Todd, keep up the great work, my friend.

2225
01:55:30,480 --> 01:55:33,480
Speaker 4: All right, thank you very much. Folks, don't go away.

2226
01:55:33,480 --> 01:55:34,680
Speaker 4: It's time to have a little bit of fun with

2227
01:55:34,760 --> 01:55:36,880
Speaker 4: Jay Ratliff. We've got a lot of aviation topics to

2228
01:55:37,000 --> 01:55:40,400
Speaker 4: talk about with Jay aviation issues and have a couple

2229
01:55:40,480 --> 01:55:41,600
Speaker 4: of yucks and some fun.

2230
01:55:41,720 --> 01:55:43,560
Speaker 1: Welcome back to my friend. It's always great having on

2231
01:55:43,600 --> 01:55:43,920
Speaker 1: the show.

2232
01:55:44,760 --> 01:55:45,880
Speaker 13: My pleasure to be here, my friend.

2233
01:55:45,920 --> 01:55:48,560
Speaker 1: Good morning, good morning, and topic number one, I embrace

2234
01:55:48,680 --> 01:55:50,200
Speaker 1: this all day long. I was talking about.

2235
01:55:50,200 --> 01:55:52,000
Speaker 4: It was in a doctor's office, wait in the waiting room,

2236
01:55:52,080 --> 01:55:54,800
Speaker 4: and some clown sitting in the corner had her cell

2237
01:55:54,880 --> 01:55:57,560
Speaker 4: phone blasting. I mean you could hear it down the hall,

2238
01:55:58,440 --> 01:56:00,760
Speaker 4: just just just looking at I don't know, watching some

2239
01:56:00,880 --> 01:56:04,600
Speaker 4: YouTube videos, some promo anyway. Just absolutely rude. I mean

2240
01:56:04,640 --> 01:56:08,280
Speaker 4: that's just downright rude. Well, United Airlines stepping up to

2241
01:56:08,320 --> 01:56:09,800
Speaker 4: the plate and dealing with things like this.

2242
01:56:10,480 --> 01:56:13,040
Speaker 13: Yeah, in fact, they have changed their carriage of contract,

2243
01:56:13,120 --> 01:56:16,760
Speaker 13: that's the legal terms. Since the airline tickets the reservation,

2244
01:56:17,000 --> 01:56:20,600
Speaker 13: that's a legal contract between us and the airline. United

2245
01:56:20,760 --> 01:56:25,240
Speaker 13: change their legal wording saying look, if we have passengers

2246
01:56:25,600 --> 01:56:29,600
Speaker 13: that have these electronic devices that they fail to use

2247
01:56:29,680 --> 01:56:32,960
Speaker 13: their airphones, their headphones, yeah, we'll kick them off the flight.

2248
01:56:33,040 --> 01:56:36,000
Speaker 13: We could ban them from flying United Airlines. So it's

2249
01:56:36,280 --> 01:56:39,400
Speaker 13: really the first step by a major airline to say, look,

2250
01:56:40,240 --> 01:56:41,960
Speaker 13: if you're going to act like this and be this

2251
01:56:42,160 --> 01:56:45,959
Speaker 13: inconsiderate to people you're sitting butt to butt, cheek the cheek.

2252
01:56:45,800 --> 01:56:49,840
Speaker 10: Next to then we won't have you and you could be.

2253
01:56:49,880 --> 01:56:52,040
Speaker 13: Removed from the plane. Now, if somebody's doing it during

2254
01:56:52,080 --> 01:56:55,400
Speaker 13: the course of the flight, they'll be reminded by a

2255
01:56:55,440 --> 01:56:57,640
Speaker 13: flight attendant that they need to change what they're doing,

2256
01:56:57,720 --> 01:56:59,800
Speaker 13: and if they don't when they land, they're not getting

2257
01:56:59,800 --> 01:57:01,480
Speaker 13: on their connecting flight, and they may not be allowed

2258
01:57:01,480 --> 01:57:06,400
Speaker 13: to fly United Airlines ever again, because once you start disregarding, disobeying,

2259
01:57:06,720 --> 01:57:09,760
Speaker 13: ignoring the instructions of a uniform crew member, that is

2260
01:57:09,920 --> 01:57:13,440
Speaker 13: in essence of felony, and you're preventing them from doing

2261
01:57:13,560 --> 01:57:15,400
Speaker 13: the jobs that they need to do. From a safety

2262
01:57:15,440 --> 01:57:18,480
Speaker 13: related standpoint, it's just stupid to do it. But yeah,

2263
01:57:18,520 --> 01:57:21,120
Speaker 13: there's and I don't, Brian, I've never understood it. And

2264
01:57:21,200 --> 01:57:23,880
Speaker 13: I look at people when they're doing that, and they

2265
01:57:23,960 --> 01:57:26,880
Speaker 13: look at me, and I guess I just don't have

2266
01:57:27,200 --> 01:57:31,840
Speaker 13: the you know, the forward nature to say, we're not

2267
01:57:32,000 --> 01:57:36,120
Speaker 13: all interested in what you're listening to talking about? Is

2268
01:57:36,160 --> 01:57:36,760
Speaker 13: there any you know?

2269
01:57:36,880 --> 01:57:37,680
Speaker 10: But you know, I don't.

2270
01:57:37,760 --> 01:57:39,920
Speaker 13: I just look at them, thinking that maybe they've got

2271
01:57:40,000 --> 01:57:42,840
Speaker 13: some civility within them and they'll realize, oh, I guess,

2272
01:57:43,280 --> 01:57:45,680
Speaker 13: you know, having my phone at volume twenty nine and

2273
01:57:46,040 --> 01:57:48,600
Speaker 13: people for seventeen rows can hear what I'm talking about

2274
01:57:49,200 --> 01:57:51,360
Speaker 13: is a bit man, you know. But you just don't

2275
01:57:51,400 --> 01:57:53,800
Speaker 13: know the way people are these days. You just I

2276
01:57:53,840 --> 01:57:56,160
Speaker 13: don't mean to be a cynic Brian, but you know,

2277
01:57:56,360 --> 01:57:59,880
Speaker 13: just common courtesy. These days, I'm surprised when I get

2278
01:58:00,560 --> 01:58:03,160
Speaker 13: the kind of courteous behavior I would like to see.

2279
01:58:03,800 --> 01:58:05,880
Speaker 13: The other stuff doesn't surprise me. I tell Sherry that

2280
01:58:05,920 --> 01:58:08,000
Speaker 13: all the time when we go out and we have

2281
01:58:08,080 --> 01:58:11,480
Speaker 13: to endure something at a store somewhere, and I said, well, sadly,

2282
01:58:11,600 --> 01:58:13,880
Speaker 13: that's the kind of behavior we've come to expect these.

2283
01:58:13,840 --> 01:58:16,840
Speaker 4: Days, isn't it the truth? It's like common sense. It

2284
01:58:16,960 --> 01:58:19,440
Speaker 4: isn't common anymore that courtesy we used to count on

2285
01:58:19,520 --> 01:58:20,000
Speaker 4: all the time.

2286
01:58:20,040 --> 01:58:21,720
Speaker 13: I just did all right, But thank you, thank you

2287
01:58:21,800 --> 01:58:24,080
Speaker 13: United for doing I mean, normally they're not the ones

2288
01:58:24,200 --> 01:58:26,600
Speaker 13: leading the charge on stuff like this. So I'm thrilled

2289
01:58:26,600 --> 01:58:26,920
Speaker 13: to see it.

2290
01:58:27,600 --> 01:58:28,000
Speaker 1: All right.

2291
01:58:28,160 --> 01:58:30,480
Speaker 4: And yet again a week doesn't go by, we don't

2292
01:58:30,520 --> 01:58:33,080
Speaker 4: have planes running into each other one during taxing, we

2293
01:58:33,160 --> 01:58:33,880
Speaker 4: have yet another one.

2294
01:58:33,960 --> 01:58:36,560
Speaker 1: Spirit Airlines. A bit of a bad luck trend going on.

2295
01:58:36,640 --> 01:58:40,640
Speaker 13: Here, Jay, Spirit can't buy a break. They're selling their planes.

2296
01:58:40,680 --> 01:58:43,480
Speaker 13: They're trying to, you know, just concentrate on the most

2297
01:58:43,560 --> 01:58:46,880
Speaker 13: profitable routes. It's not a skeleton crew, but it's getting there.

2298
01:58:47,360 --> 01:58:50,160
Speaker 13: And they've got this this airplane that's in the process

2299
01:58:50,200 --> 01:58:53,360
Speaker 13: of de icing at Newark, and this Singapore Airlines super

2300
01:58:53,480 --> 01:58:57,440
Speaker 13: jumbo jet is being pushed out for taxi and boom

2301
01:58:57,600 --> 01:59:00,520
Speaker 13: runs right into it. This wasn't a glancing low. They

2302
01:59:00,720 --> 01:59:04,600
Speaker 13: plowed into this, ramming the vertical stabilizer, the part that

2303
01:59:04,680 --> 01:59:05,200
Speaker 13: sticks up.

2304
01:59:05,160 --> 01:59:05,600
Speaker 10: In the back.

2305
01:59:06,160 --> 01:59:10,560
Speaker 13: That Singapore Airlines flight was preparing for a nineteen hour flight,

2306
01:59:11,200 --> 01:59:13,840
Speaker 13: so all the people, all the luggage has to come

2307
01:59:13,880 --> 01:59:16,480
Speaker 13: off of both planes. But it wasn't long ago that

2308
01:59:16,560 --> 01:59:18,920
Speaker 13: we had a Delta Airlines flight ram into a Spirit

2309
01:59:18,960 --> 01:59:21,800
Speaker 13: Airlines flight. Again on the ground, no serious injuries, just

2310
01:59:21,920 --> 01:59:25,080
Speaker 13: damage to the aircraft. But it's like, Spirit, do we

2311
01:59:25,160 --> 01:59:27,400
Speaker 13: need to paint our airplanes a different color? We seem

2312
01:59:27,440 --> 01:59:30,080
Speaker 13: to be attracting all these planes and Brian. When you've

2313
01:59:30,120 --> 01:59:33,160
Speaker 13: got a team of people around an aircraft as it's

2314
01:59:33,240 --> 01:59:37,839
Speaker 13: being pushed out, there is the row z ow zero chance.

2315
01:59:38,080 --> 01:59:42,200
Speaker 13: If everybody's doing their job, they're going to stop the progression.

2316
01:59:42,200 --> 01:59:43,880
Speaker 13: They're going to say, wait a minute, things aren't lined

2317
01:59:43,960 --> 01:59:46,600
Speaker 13: up here, and they're gonna make the necessary adjustments. At

2318
01:59:46,680 --> 01:59:49,640
Speaker 13: Northwest Airlines, anytime we had aircraft damage like this that

2319
01:59:49,840 --> 01:59:53,280
Speaker 13: was so easily preventable, it was clear that not only one,

2320
01:59:53,360 --> 01:59:56,240
Speaker 13: but several people weren't doing their job, and now you've

2321
01:59:56,240 --> 02:00:00,000
Speaker 13: got an aircraft. People canceled, the multiple flights at aircraft

2322
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:02,520
Speaker 13: I was supposed to run that day canceled. You've got

2323
02:00:02,800 --> 02:00:05,320
Speaker 13: now just a big billboard until it gets fixed, sitting

2324
02:00:05,400 --> 02:00:08,240
Speaker 13: there by maintenance crews. And it typically happens in a

2325
02:00:08,320 --> 02:00:10,800
Speaker 13: place other than your maintenance hub, which makes it even

2326
02:00:10,840 --> 02:00:14,200
Speaker 13: harder to fix. And it's it's just absolutely annoying. But

2327
02:00:14,320 --> 02:00:17,640
Speaker 13: once again, yeah, spirit gets dinged by another aircraft and

2328
02:00:18,400 --> 02:00:19,640
Speaker 13: caused all kinds of problems.

2329
02:00:20,000 --> 02:00:22,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, and just sort of something of what you said.

2330
02:00:22,440 --> 02:00:25,840
Speaker 4: I find it impossible to believe given the expense and

2331
02:00:25,960 --> 02:00:28,560
Speaker 4: hassle that is associated with this happening, and all of

2332
02:00:28,680 --> 02:00:33,080
Speaker 4: the people around the two giant aircraft could ever run

2333
02:00:33,160 --> 02:00:34,640
Speaker 4: into each other at.

2334
02:00:34,560 --> 02:00:38,920
Speaker 13: A slow speeding For some airlines, it's caused to lose

2335
02:00:38,960 --> 02:00:41,720
Speaker 13: your job, so there's not an incentive for the people

2336
02:00:41,800 --> 02:00:44,320
Speaker 13: on the ground to say, hey, look, you know, I've

2337
02:00:44,360 --> 02:00:46,480
Speaker 13: got to really be on my toes here. But it's

2338
02:00:46,560 --> 02:00:49,240
Speaker 13: like everything else. Once you get laxed, you get a

2339
02:00:49,280 --> 02:00:52,840
Speaker 13: little sloppy, and mistakes can happen. It happens all the time.

2340
02:00:52,880 --> 02:00:54,640
Speaker 13: I don't care if you're trading stocks, or you're pushing

2341
02:00:54,640 --> 02:00:57,440
Speaker 13: an airplane back, if you get distracted, or you just

2342
02:00:57,560 --> 02:00:59,680
Speaker 13: kind of it's another day at the office and you

2343
02:00:59,840 --> 02:01:02,040
Speaker 13: just assume everything's going to go as its supposed to go.

2344
02:01:02,360 --> 02:01:04,560
Speaker 13: You quickly find out that's not the case, and things

2345
02:01:04,640 --> 02:01:06,560
Speaker 13: can really blow up in your face.

2346
02:01:07,040 --> 02:01:07,240
Speaker 10: Yeah.

2347
02:01:07,600 --> 02:01:10,040
Speaker 4: I was thinking there's no rear view mirror in the cockpit,

2348
02:01:10,160 --> 02:01:12,360
Speaker 4: but you know, I have a backup camera in my car.

2349
02:01:12,480 --> 02:01:14,200
Speaker 4: This comes standard. Do you think there'd be a backup

2350
02:01:14,280 --> 02:01:16,800
Speaker 4: camera in the airplane to show you what's surrounding you?

2351
02:01:17,080 --> 02:01:20,480
Speaker 13: Maybe one of those loud bills you know, back on

2352
02:01:20,560 --> 02:01:22,200
Speaker 13: a scooter at Kroger right exactly.

2353
02:01:22,400 --> 02:01:23,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll bring Jay back.

2354
02:01:23,520 --> 02:01:25,640
Speaker 4: We got quite a few dolls, including complaints about a

2355
02:01:25,680 --> 02:01:27,840
Speaker 4: new boarding policy and a fourteen hour flight to know

2356
02:01:27,880 --> 02:01:30,200
Speaker 4: where those among the topies with iHeart Media Aviation Expert

2357
02:01:30,280 --> 02:01:31,280
Speaker 4: Jay Ratlift, don't go away.

2358
02:01:31,280 --> 02:01:35,320
Speaker 1: I'd be right back. Fifty five krc A KRCD talk station.

2359
02:01:36,480 --> 02:01:37,840
Speaker 5: Have you ever been in a cockpit before?

2360
02:01:38,120 --> 02:01:41,280
Speaker 1: A thirty eight fiftybouve KARCD talk station. Brian Thomas with iHeart.

2361
02:01:41,000 --> 02:01:44,120
Speaker 4: Media Aviation Expert Jay Rattlift. Every Thursday beginning eight thirty.

2362
02:01:44,120 --> 02:01:45,320
Speaker 4: Get him to the end of the segment, and I

2363
02:01:45,440 --> 02:01:46,960
Speaker 4: love having him on the program. I hope you do

2364
02:01:47,000 --> 02:01:50,040
Speaker 4: as much as I do. Somebody's always complaining about something,

2365
02:01:50,080 --> 02:01:52,560
Speaker 4: and now we have a new boarding policy at Southwest Airlines.

2366
02:01:52,600 --> 02:01:53,840
Speaker 4: Why the complaints, Jay?

2367
02:01:54,720 --> 02:01:58,680
Speaker 13: People think if they complain enough Brian Southwest will change

2368
02:01:59,080 --> 02:02:01,600
Speaker 13: their business model. Well, these are people that liked the

2369
02:02:02,600 --> 02:02:05,360
Speaker 13: open seating. They like the ability to get on and

2370
02:02:05,400 --> 02:02:07,640
Speaker 13: maybe with a wheelchair to get on whatever might happen

2371
02:02:07,680 --> 02:02:11,040
Speaker 13: to be. So at every opportunity they're complaining at the

2372
02:02:11,160 --> 02:02:14,360
Speaker 13: top of their lungs about how this isn't working. Failed experiment,

2373
02:02:15,000 --> 02:02:16,320
Speaker 13: you tried it, We need to go back to what

2374
02:02:16,400 --> 02:02:19,080
Speaker 13: we did before. And the people that are complaining are

2375
02:02:19,120 --> 02:02:21,760
Speaker 13: a couple of groups. One the groups that are traveling

2376
02:02:21,800 --> 02:02:25,320
Speaker 13: with families, where they do not ahead of time when

2377
02:02:25,360 --> 02:02:28,040
Speaker 13: they're making the reservations pay the extra cost to get

2378
02:02:28,080 --> 02:02:30,320
Speaker 13: seat assignments, so they're waiting until they get to the

2379
02:02:30,360 --> 02:02:32,800
Speaker 13: airport the day of departure. And here's my family of four,

2380
02:02:33,760 --> 02:02:36,080
Speaker 13: we need a seat seats assigned. Well, okay, you didn't

2381
02:02:36,120 --> 02:02:37,920
Speaker 13: pay to have them done in advance. I've got these

2382
02:02:38,040 --> 02:02:41,240
Speaker 13: seats available. None of them are together, enjoy your flight,

2383
02:02:41,560 --> 02:02:43,520
Speaker 13: and of course the family's just freaking out saying, wait, man,

2384
02:02:43,600 --> 02:02:46,680
Speaker 13: you can't separate my family. No, we're not separating your family.

2385
02:02:47,120 --> 02:02:50,160
Speaker 13: You separated your family by not spending the few extra

2386
02:02:50,240 --> 02:02:52,240
Speaker 13: dollars to get your seat assignments. And of course when

2387
02:02:52,280 --> 02:02:54,800
Speaker 13: you get on the plane now you're asking other passengers

2388
02:02:54,840 --> 02:02:57,600
Speaker 13: who paid for the seats they're in to move so

2389
02:02:57,720 --> 02:02:59,960
Speaker 13: that you can, as somebody that didn't pay for it,

2390
02:03:00,280 --> 02:03:03,320
Speaker 13: put all your family together, and that's really creating some

2391
02:03:03,440 --> 02:03:06,760
Speaker 13: on board problems. And Southwest is saying, look, we're looking

2392
02:03:06,800 --> 02:03:08,800
Speaker 13: into it, but the bottom line is, of course pay

2393
02:03:08,840 --> 02:03:10,960
Speaker 13: to have your family sitting together, and it's a non issue.

2394
02:03:11,400 --> 02:03:13,920
Speaker 13: The other people that are complaining are those that are

2395
02:03:14,040 --> 02:03:16,840
Speaker 13: boarding the airplane, and what they're finding is people that

2396
02:03:16,920 --> 02:03:18,840
Speaker 13: are sitting in the back of the airplane which they

2397
02:03:18,960 --> 02:03:22,200
Speaker 13: board first. Let's say you're in row twenty three, Brian.

2398
02:03:22,240 --> 02:03:24,240
Speaker 13: When they get to road about ten or eleven, I

2399
02:03:24,280 --> 02:03:26,280
Speaker 13: don't need to carry this in carry bag anymore. They

2400
02:03:26,360 --> 02:03:28,400
Speaker 13: throw it over Row twelve and then they go back

2401
02:03:28,440 --> 02:03:30,800
Speaker 13: and sit in their seats and Row twenty three, well,

2402
02:03:30,960 --> 02:03:33,160
Speaker 13: by the time the other people board that are actually

2403
02:03:33,240 --> 02:03:36,320
Speaker 13: sitting in row twelve, arrive all the overhead storage compartments

2404
02:03:36,680 --> 02:03:40,720
Speaker 13: yeah or taken, Yeah, and of course the only open space. Hey,

2405
02:03:40,720 --> 02:03:42,600
Speaker 13: we got run back here above row twenty three. I

2406
02:03:42,640 --> 02:03:43,800
Speaker 13: don't want my bag back there.

2407
02:03:44,000 --> 02:03:46,000
Speaker 1: You can't get to it. You gotta wait till the

2408
02:03:46,240 --> 02:03:49,200
Speaker 1: entire planes d board before you get Actually, I hate that.

2409
02:03:50,240 --> 02:03:52,840
Speaker 13: And flight attendants try to police this, and they do

2410
02:03:52,920 --> 02:03:55,720
Speaker 13: it when there's a first class section. Pretty good, but

2411
02:03:55,920 --> 02:04:00,720
Speaker 13: it's almost impossible in coach. So Southwest is decide and Brian,

2412
02:04:00,760 --> 02:04:02,560
Speaker 13: when I read this, I knew you would love it

2413
02:04:02,640 --> 02:04:06,120
Speaker 13: as much as me. They got the iron clad way

2414
02:04:06,200 --> 02:04:09,480
Speaker 13: of correcting this behavior where it won't happen anymore. They

2415
02:04:09,600 --> 02:04:12,280
Speaker 13: decided they're going to put a sticker in the overhead

2416
02:04:12,280 --> 02:04:15,760
Speaker 13: compartment saying don't do it, and that will immediately change

2417
02:04:15,800 --> 02:04:21,000
Speaker 13: the behavior everybody behaves, problem solve. I wonder many committees

2418
02:04:21,040 --> 02:04:23,480
Speaker 13: it took to come up with the sticker idea. It's

2419
02:04:23,560 --> 02:04:25,240
Speaker 13: not going to work. You and I laugh at that,

2420
02:04:25,440 --> 02:04:26,840
Speaker 13: knowing good luck at that.

2421
02:04:27,120 --> 02:04:31,160
Speaker 4: It's like, yeah, we just need to know the law

2422
02:04:31,200 --> 02:04:35,560
Speaker 4: on the book. Just say it's illegal. Yeah, sure that'll work, right.

2423
02:04:35,720 --> 02:04:37,560
Speaker 13: I mean, if you slap a sticker upper saying, look,

2424
02:04:37,840 --> 02:04:39,560
Speaker 13: we're going to find you three thousand dollars if you

2425
02:04:39,600 --> 02:04:40,240
Speaker 13: put your bag here.

2426
02:04:40,320 --> 02:04:42,920
Speaker 10: Now, I like that that might be something that's going

2427
02:04:42,960 --> 02:04:43,840
Speaker 10: to get somebody's attention.

2428
02:04:44,000 --> 02:04:46,760
Speaker 4: That worked now, that worked for me. Yesterday I was

2429
02:04:46,880 --> 02:04:49,320
Speaker 4: going to listener lunch downtown Loveland. I went the back

2430
02:04:49,400 --> 02:04:51,440
Speaker 4: way along the river and there was a giant sign

2431
02:04:51,520 --> 02:04:54,440
Speaker 4: in the road that said do not pass. The river

2432
02:04:55,040 --> 02:04:57,840
Speaker 4: is elevated above the roadway, and right there underneath it

2433
02:04:57,920 --> 02:05:00,920
Speaker 4: had said two thousand dollars. Fine for ignoring this. And

2434
02:05:00,960 --> 02:05:04,040
Speaker 4: I'm looking down the road going well, the water's already receded.

2435
02:05:04,080 --> 02:05:05,200
Speaker 4: But you know what kept me from.

2436
02:05:05,160 --> 02:05:09,240
Speaker 1: Going around the sign two thousand dollars. I know'd be

2437
02:05:09,280 --> 02:05:11,280
Speaker 1: a cop of around the corner. Anyway.

2438
02:05:11,320 --> 02:05:14,920
Speaker 13: Listening now, let's not be tomorrow's story. I feel your

2439
02:05:14,960 --> 02:05:15,560
Speaker 13: pain there.

2440
02:05:15,440 --> 02:05:16,480
Speaker 1: Brother, no question.

2441
02:05:16,600 --> 02:05:19,800
Speaker 4: All right, Let's combine the two stories involving Iran. First,

2442
02:05:20,080 --> 02:05:22,919
Speaker 4: the fourteen hour flight to nowhere, and is the Iranian

2443
02:05:23,000 --> 02:05:25,200
Speaker 4: situation causing fuel prices to rise?

2444
02:05:25,360 --> 02:05:27,920
Speaker 1: Iran the aviation needs it.

2445
02:05:28,040 --> 02:05:30,000
Speaker 13: Is fuel prices are going up. Airlines have yet to

2446
02:05:30,080 --> 02:05:33,240
Speaker 13: really adjust to any significance to their future fairs. But Brian,

2447
02:05:33,320 --> 02:05:38,040
Speaker 13: that's coming. So if anybody's planning on flying later this year, summer, fall,

2448
02:05:38,840 --> 02:05:40,600
Speaker 13: over the holidays, even at the end of the year,

2449
02:05:40,720 --> 02:05:43,360
Speaker 13: and you're kind of on the fence. My suggestion is

2450
02:05:43,440 --> 02:05:45,480
Speaker 13: lock those fares in as quickly as you can, because

2451
02:05:45,480 --> 02:05:48,600
Speaker 13: if this situation goes for any length of time and

2452
02:05:48,720 --> 02:05:51,800
Speaker 13: we do see the fuel prices start to rise, airlines

2453
02:05:51,800 --> 02:05:56,360
Speaker 13: will be very quick to adjust their future schedules, jacking

2454
02:05:56,440 --> 02:05:57,680
Speaker 13: the fares up considerably.

2455
02:05:57,800 --> 02:05:57,920
Speaker 9: Now.

2456
02:05:58,040 --> 02:06:01,400
Speaker 13: Even if the fuel goes up and then it comes

2457
02:06:01,480 --> 02:06:03,800
Speaker 13: down three weeks later, they're going to keep the fares

2458
02:06:03,840 --> 02:06:05,680
Speaker 13: pretty much at the same for the time being. So

2459
02:06:06,880 --> 02:06:08,800
Speaker 13: we don't like paying airlines more than we should. So

2460
02:06:08,840 --> 02:06:10,600
Speaker 13: if we can lock the fare in by making the

2461
02:06:10,800 --> 02:06:14,520
Speaker 13: advance reservation now, if fares do increase because of the

2462
02:06:14,640 --> 02:06:17,360
Speaker 13: rising fuel costs, and airlines are always quick to pass

2463
02:06:17,400 --> 02:06:20,520
Speaker 13: those costs along to us. Once the reservations mate were

2464
02:06:20,600 --> 02:06:22,160
Speaker 13: locked in, we're good to go and you don't have

2465
02:06:22,240 --> 02:06:24,320
Speaker 13: to worry about it. So but yeah, as far as

2466
02:06:24,360 --> 02:06:26,680
Speaker 13: the Iran situation, we had American Airlines flight that was

2467
02:06:26,760 --> 02:06:30,440
Speaker 13: leaving Philadelphia headed over to cutter and it got.

2468
02:06:30,400 --> 02:06:31,200
Speaker 10: To about Spain.

2469
02:06:31,520 --> 02:06:34,520
Speaker 13: This flight left Friday night before anything was going on

2470
02:06:34,680 --> 02:06:36,840
Speaker 13: in Iran, they get over there, and then all of

2471
02:06:36,880 --> 02:06:39,839
Speaker 13: a sudden, Brian there about at Spain when the airspace

2472
02:06:40,200 --> 02:06:42,920
Speaker 13: closes because of all the military operations ongoing.

2473
02:06:43,880 --> 02:06:44,400
Speaker 10: What are you gonna do?

2474
02:06:44,560 --> 02:06:47,240
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean your alternate airports within that closed airspace.

2475
02:06:47,800 --> 02:06:50,240
Speaker 13: So they turned around, flu back to Philadelphia and landed.

2476
02:06:50,920 --> 02:06:53,240
Speaker 13: It was fourteen fifteen hours. It might have been sixteen,

2477
02:06:53,240 --> 02:06:56,160
Speaker 13: but I mean it was a long flight, and I'm

2478
02:06:56,160 --> 02:06:57,840
Speaker 13: sure there's a lot of people there that maybe had

2479
02:06:57,880 --> 02:06:59,960
Speaker 13: family where they were going, and it would have been

2480
02:07:00,120 --> 02:07:02,760
Speaker 13: a very unsettling thing to be, hey, we can't land.

2481
02:07:03,440 --> 02:07:05,840
Speaker 13: Airspace is closed. It may I don't know exactly how

2482
02:07:06,240 --> 02:07:08,920
Speaker 13: much they were laid to the passengers on board the aircraft,

2483
02:07:08,960 --> 02:07:10,960
Speaker 13: but I'm sure the captain tried to do what they

2484
02:07:11,000 --> 02:07:13,240
Speaker 13: could to say, hey, here's what we know, and this

2485
02:07:13,400 --> 02:07:15,800
Speaker 13: is what's happening. But to get all the way you know,

2486
02:07:15,960 --> 02:07:18,840
Speaker 13: to Europe and you're turing coming back, that was the

2487
02:07:18,920 --> 02:07:21,160
Speaker 13: decision that was made. And you know, what you're doing

2488
02:07:21,280 --> 02:07:23,880
Speaker 13: is you're protecting passengers, then the aircraft and the flight

2489
02:07:24,000 --> 02:07:27,200
Speaker 13: crew from any possible harm. And if the airspace is closed,

2490
02:07:27,200 --> 02:07:27,920
Speaker 13: you're not even allowed to.

2491
02:07:27,920 --> 02:07:28,520
Speaker 10: Fly in there.

2492
02:07:28,960 --> 02:07:33,280
Speaker 13: But you know, I'm sure people complained and everything, but look,

2493
02:07:33,320 --> 02:07:34,520
Speaker 13: if you're not going to keep if you're going to

2494
02:07:34,600 --> 02:07:36,280
Speaker 13: keep me out of harm's way, I'm not going to

2495
02:07:36,320 --> 02:07:38,240
Speaker 13: say one thing other than the words thank you for

2496
02:07:38,360 --> 02:07:40,720
Speaker 13: doing that, because that's the last place you want to be.

2497
02:07:40,800 --> 02:07:43,760
Speaker 13: Because right now, we've got hundreds of thousands of people

2498
02:07:43,840 --> 02:07:45,880
Speaker 13: that are there that have been trying to get out

2499
02:07:45,920 --> 02:07:48,880
Speaker 13: for the last several days, and we've got Emirates and

2500
02:07:49,080 --> 02:07:51,040
Speaker 13: the flight Dubai and a couple of other carriers that

2501
02:07:51,120 --> 02:07:55,040
Speaker 13: are bringing in select flights. They're coming in ferried flights,

2502
02:07:55,120 --> 02:07:57,440
Speaker 13: meaning empty aircraft for the most part, where they can

2503
02:07:57,520 --> 02:08:00,400
Speaker 13: airlift people out as safely as they can only when

2504
02:08:00,440 --> 02:08:03,560
Speaker 13: the conditions warrant. So you've got a lot of people

2505
02:08:03,640 --> 02:08:05,800
Speaker 13: there that are just scrambling trying to either get to

2506
02:08:05,880 --> 02:08:08,520
Speaker 13: another country where they can get to another airport that's

2507
02:08:08,560 --> 02:08:10,560
Speaker 13: open and they can get out of there to somehow

2508
02:08:10,640 --> 02:08:12,960
Speaker 13: make their way back to America or wherever they're going.

2509
02:08:13,600 --> 02:08:15,200
Speaker 13: And airlines, of course, you're going to do what they

2510
02:08:15,320 --> 02:08:18,440
Speaker 13: can as quickly as the conditions are safe enough to

2511
02:08:18,520 --> 02:08:22,480
Speaker 13: allow the return to something close to normal flight activity

2512
02:08:22,480 --> 02:08:25,520
Speaker 13: because you have to buy airport. They in Atlanta always

2513
02:08:25,560 --> 02:08:28,520
Speaker 13: compete with the world's busiest airport. So when you shut

2514
02:08:28,640 --> 02:08:31,320
Speaker 13: that down for any length of time, Yeah, you've got

2515
02:08:31,400 --> 02:08:34,640
Speaker 13: a ton of people that have been inconvenience that are

2516
02:08:34,760 --> 02:08:37,440
Speaker 13: obviously scrambling to see what they're going to do.

2517
02:08:38,520 --> 02:08:40,800
Speaker 4: All right, coming up one more with Jay Rattler, starting

2518
02:08:40,840 --> 02:08:45,360
Speaker 4: with play stupid games, win stupid prizes. It's like cursing

2519
02:08:45,440 --> 02:08:48,520
Speaker 4: on the fifty five KARS Morning Show. There will be repercussions.

2520
02:08:48,520 --> 02:08:50,440
Speaker 4: We'll get with the Jay ratle of one more segment.

2521
02:08:50,480 --> 02:08:52,280
Speaker 4: Plus we'll find out if it's a good day to travel.

2522
02:08:52,320 --> 02:08:57,960
Speaker 4: Don't go away fifty five see the talk station. It's

2523
02:08:57,960 --> 02:09:00,680
Speaker 4: about KCV Talk station by Thomas with I heeart Meedia

2524
02:09:00,680 --> 02:09:02,720
Speaker 4: aviation expert Jay rat left.

2525
02:09:03,440 --> 02:09:04,160
Speaker 1: Jay Ratleft.

2526
02:09:04,240 --> 02:09:06,840
Speaker 4: You think people get the memo you don't say bomb

2527
02:09:06,960 --> 02:09:10,080
Speaker 4: anywhere near an air in an airline, on an airline,

2528
02:09:10,240 --> 02:09:13,920
Speaker 4: or in a terminal. And it's like there are words

2529
02:09:13,960 --> 02:09:16,560
Speaker 4: out there that have been pretty much banned from the lexicon.

2530
02:09:16,760 --> 02:09:17,160
Speaker 13: Stupid.

2531
02:09:18,880 --> 02:09:20,200
Speaker 1: We got another one, Jay.

2532
02:09:20,320 --> 02:09:23,040
Speaker 10: Thank you. Joe Strecker. Yeah, that is a that is

2533
02:09:24,120 --> 02:09:24,919
Speaker 10: that's the message.

2534
02:09:25,000 --> 02:09:27,560
Speaker 13: And you know, I've been at the airport when I've

2535
02:09:27,560 --> 02:09:30,080
Speaker 13: had people joke at the ticket counter at the gate

2536
02:09:30,640 --> 02:09:33,840
Speaker 13: on board an aircraft where they make that comment. Like,

2537
02:09:35,080 --> 02:09:37,040
Speaker 13: we had a group of six or eight that were

2538
02:09:37,040 --> 02:09:39,200
Speaker 13: showing up going on vacation. They were in their twenties,

2539
02:09:39,760 --> 02:09:42,200
Speaker 13: and you know, the one guy that has to joke

2540
02:09:42,240 --> 02:09:44,080
Speaker 13: about everything, puts his bag up there and says, now,

2541
02:09:44,080 --> 02:09:46,080
Speaker 13: look when you cturay this and see the bomb in there.

2542
02:09:46,160 --> 02:09:47,320
Speaker 10: Blah blah blah blah blah blah.

2543
02:09:47,360 --> 02:09:50,960
Speaker 13: And I was like, okay, And then I said, excuse me,

2544
02:09:51,240 --> 02:09:53,600
Speaker 13: none of you are getting on this flight because we've

2545
02:09:53,680 --> 02:09:56,760
Speaker 13: got to question you. There's a security protocol we've got.

2546
02:09:56,680 --> 02:09:57,080
Speaker 10: To go through.

2547
02:09:57,600 --> 02:10:00,440
Speaker 13: And yeah, so away they all go. Nobody he goes

2548
02:10:01,040 --> 02:10:03,360
Speaker 13: to where there's planning at that particular time because of

2549
02:10:03,440 --> 02:10:06,080
Speaker 13: the comments of one per Now I can't disregard that.

2550
02:10:06,520 --> 02:10:09,400
Speaker 13: I can't say, oh, he was just kidding, because in

2551
02:10:09,480 --> 02:10:13,200
Speaker 13: the unlikely event that something is accurate with that, then

2552
02:10:13,720 --> 02:10:17,400
Speaker 13: the airline and I'm being held accountable. So the airlines

2553
02:10:17,400 --> 02:10:19,960
Speaker 13: have a very clear cut protocol of what happened. So

2554
02:10:20,040 --> 02:10:22,600
Speaker 13: we had a Jet Blue passenger who's on the flight

2555
02:10:22,720 --> 02:10:26,000
Speaker 13: preparing to depart and he makes the comment. I think

2556
02:10:26,040 --> 02:10:29,160
Speaker 13: they were in Fort Lauderdale perhaps, but wherever it was made,

2557
02:10:29,240 --> 02:10:32,400
Speaker 13: the comment about having a bomb, and of course what

2558
02:10:32,560 --> 02:10:35,680
Speaker 13: happens then is the boarding process stops. You now have

2559
02:10:35,800 --> 02:10:37,560
Speaker 13: to get him off the aircraft. You have to get

2560
02:10:37,600 --> 02:10:39,640
Speaker 13: his luggage off the aircraft. Then you have to get

2561
02:10:39,760 --> 02:10:43,680
Speaker 13: everybody else also off the aircraft, all of their luggage

2562
02:10:43,800 --> 02:10:47,040
Speaker 13: off the aircraft. And you're talking about everything being rescreened.

2563
02:10:47,320 --> 02:10:50,760
Speaker 13: You're having the aircraft doing a hard target search as

2564
02:10:50,800 --> 02:10:53,600
Speaker 13: you go through, making sure nobody left anything behind. You're

2565
02:10:53,600 --> 02:10:56,680
Speaker 13: looking the lavatories, you're looking in the seatback pockets. I mean, Brian,

2566
02:10:56,800 --> 02:11:01,240
Speaker 13: it is a long process that's all made possible thanks

2567
02:11:01,280 --> 02:11:03,640
Speaker 13: to the most popular person on the flight, the one

2568
02:11:03,680 --> 02:11:05,960
Speaker 13: that opened his mouth. Now he's probably never going to

2569
02:11:05,960 --> 02:11:08,680
Speaker 13: fly Jet Blue again. So you're talking about something that

2570
02:11:08,920 --> 02:11:12,880
Speaker 13: is a single comment by maybe an incredibly intelligent person

2571
02:11:13,040 --> 02:11:16,320
Speaker 13: making the most the dumbest comment that can possibly make

2572
02:11:16,360 --> 02:11:19,320
Speaker 13: it the worst possible time that now impacts not everybody

2573
02:11:19,840 --> 02:11:22,280
Speaker 13: on that flight, but people are waiting for that aircraft

2574
02:11:22,320 --> 02:11:24,720
Speaker 13: at the next down line station to fly somewhere else.

2575
02:11:24,920 --> 02:11:28,000
Speaker 13: So you've delayed this aircraft throughout the course of the day,

2576
02:11:28,040 --> 02:11:30,560
Speaker 13: maybe the next two days, because of one person.

2577
02:11:31,000 --> 02:11:31,960
Speaker 1: Unbelievable.

2578
02:11:32,280 --> 02:11:33,960
Speaker 4: All right, this next one kind of reminded me of

2579
02:11:34,040 --> 02:11:35,919
Speaker 4: the one of the most if not the most embarrassing

2580
02:11:35,960 --> 02:11:38,840
Speaker 4: moments of my life. I was responsible for a very

2581
02:11:38,880 --> 02:11:41,040
Speaker 4: big litigation when I was practicing over at Anthem in

2582
02:11:41,080 --> 02:11:44,280
Speaker 4: the litigation department. Was a nationwide case involving like forty

2583
02:11:44,400 --> 02:11:47,080
Speaker 4: lawyers in a weekly phone call. They're all across the country,

2584
02:11:47,080 --> 02:11:49,000
Speaker 4: all the way across this, all the way to Hawaii,

2585
02:11:49,400 --> 02:11:51,800
Speaker 4: So forty people trying to get something done on a

2586
02:11:51,840 --> 02:11:54,240
Speaker 4: phone call. And these things drug on for a couple

2587
02:11:54,320 --> 02:11:58,120
Speaker 4: of hours, sometimes a little bit frustrating. So the attorney

2588
02:11:58,160 --> 02:12:01,240
Speaker 4: in Hawaii starts asking, for like the fifteenth time, the

2589
02:12:01,400 --> 02:12:04,560
Speaker 4: same damn question We've been over and what do I say?

2590
02:12:05,360 --> 02:12:10,160
Speaker 4: I scream blah blah blah, and then the call went

2591
02:12:10,640 --> 02:12:12,000
Speaker 4: silent and.

2592
02:12:12,480 --> 02:12:13,120
Speaker 10: You look at your phone.

2593
02:12:13,200 --> 02:12:16,360
Speaker 4: Right ten seconds later, the lead attorney's supposed to heard

2594
02:12:16,360 --> 02:12:21,320
Speaker 4: the cats. Brian is there's something wrong, and of course, yeah, we've.

2595
02:12:21,160 --> 02:12:21,560
Speaker 5: Been over this.

2596
02:12:21,760 --> 02:12:24,200
Speaker 4: It's like, I know, everybody except for her was really

2597
02:12:24,240 --> 02:12:27,600
Speaker 4: applauding me, but a little embarrassing. And that's kind of

2598
02:12:27,640 --> 02:12:28,919
Speaker 4: what happened here on the airline.

2599
02:12:30,080 --> 02:12:33,200
Speaker 13: Well, yeah, United Airlines has a channel nine and for

2600
02:12:33,320 --> 02:12:36,560
Speaker 13: those using the entertainment system, you can flip to that

2601
02:12:36,920 --> 02:12:39,720
Speaker 13: specific channel and for a brief amount of time you

2602
02:12:39,800 --> 02:12:42,320
Speaker 13: can listen to the interaction between the flight crew and

2603
02:12:42,320 --> 02:12:44,360
Speaker 13: air traffic control. So if you're like an aviation nerd

2604
02:12:44,480 --> 02:12:46,960
Speaker 13: like me or just why who's bored and says, yeah, yeah,

2605
02:12:47,040 --> 02:12:49,840
Speaker 13: let me let me tune it, it's pretty interesting to

2606
02:12:49,920 --> 02:12:52,080
Speaker 13: listen to the back and forth. Well, what happens is

2607
02:12:52,640 --> 02:12:55,720
Speaker 13: shortly after they are cleared and they're ready to go,

2608
02:12:55,880 --> 02:12:59,760
Speaker 13: that channels turned off unless you forget and this flight

2609
02:12:59,840 --> 02:13:02,040
Speaker 13: crew on the United Airlines for good to turn it off.

2610
02:13:02,400 --> 02:13:05,640
Speaker 13: So for the entire flight, anybody tuned into that could

2611
02:13:05,840 --> 02:13:07,880
Speaker 13: hear the entire conversation of what was.

2612
02:13:07,840 --> 02:13:10,520
Speaker 10: Going on on late day, you know, the jokes, the

2613
02:13:10,680 --> 02:13:11,600
Speaker 10: language that you.

2614
02:13:11,920 --> 02:13:15,440
Speaker 13: Thank god there was. Now what surprises me is that somebody,

2615
02:13:15,760 --> 02:13:17,880
Speaker 13: I guess they just thought this is the way it

2616
02:13:17,960 --> 02:13:20,280
Speaker 13: was supposed to be. If I'm on that flight, I'm

2617
02:13:20,280 --> 02:13:22,080
Speaker 13: grabbing the flight and saying, you better tell those guys

2618
02:13:22,160 --> 02:13:24,320
Speaker 13: to turn channel nine off because it's still on because

2619
02:13:24,320 --> 02:13:26,920
Speaker 13: it's not supposed to be. Passengers probably thought, oh, this

2620
02:13:27,080 --> 02:13:30,040
Speaker 13: is just you know, United letting us listen. Thank god,

2621
02:13:30,240 --> 02:13:32,520
Speaker 13: nothing was said that could have cost either one of

2622
02:13:32,560 --> 02:13:35,920
Speaker 13: their jobs. Because you know, every mic is a live

2623
02:13:36,040 --> 02:13:38,640
Speaker 13: mic kind of situation, and we know people have gotten

2624
02:13:38,640 --> 02:13:41,000
Speaker 13: in all kinds of issues with that. But yeah, so

2625
02:13:41,080 --> 02:13:43,600
Speaker 13: I suspect there was an internal memo to all the

2626
02:13:43,680 --> 02:13:46,320
Speaker 13: pilots reminding them that this has to be turned off

2627
02:13:46,680 --> 02:13:49,960
Speaker 13: otherwise we could be in some big time trouble. Apparently

2628
02:13:50,040 --> 02:13:53,080
Speaker 13: these guys dodge the bullet. But I'm telling you that's

2629
02:13:53,160 --> 02:13:57,280
Speaker 13: a scary, scary thought thinking for hours everything you talk

2630
02:13:57,320 --> 02:13:59,600
Speaker 13: about to not only the flight attendants who come in

2631
02:13:59,640 --> 02:14:01,800
Speaker 13: and out of the cabin or the flight deck, as

2632
02:14:01,840 --> 02:14:05,120
Speaker 13: well as your fellow pilot, who, Yeah, that could have.

2633
02:14:05,120 --> 02:14:06,920
Speaker 4: Been bad, no doubt about it, and we just did

2634
02:14:07,000 --> 02:14:09,280
Speaker 4: I just did SEC compliance training the other day. Is

2635
02:14:09,360 --> 02:14:11,600
Speaker 4: one of the things is always assume there is a

2636
02:14:11,760 --> 02:14:15,160
Speaker 4: hot mic on never ever curse in the studio period.

2637
02:14:15,280 --> 02:14:18,400
Speaker 4: End of story. I struggle with compliance on that one

2638
02:14:18,440 --> 02:14:19,320
Speaker 4: as well, Jay Ratlers.

2639
02:14:19,440 --> 02:14:21,560
Speaker 10: Anyway, well you just put something on my list of

2640
02:14:21,640 --> 02:14:23,080
Speaker 10: things to do today. Thank you.

2641
02:14:24,120 --> 02:14:26,440
Speaker 4: And finally, is he usually close out with hub delays?

2642
02:14:26,440 --> 02:14:27,880
Speaker 4: How's it looking out there with all the rain in

2643
02:14:27,960 --> 02:14:28,280
Speaker 4: our area?

2644
02:14:28,360 --> 02:14:31,160
Speaker 13: Just wondering, Yeah, Detroit's gonna give us issues early and

2645
02:14:31,200 --> 02:14:35,160
Speaker 13: often as the day progresses. Philadelphia, New York getting absolutely slammed,

2646
02:14:35,160 --> 02:14:36,760
Speaker 13: and this is gonna be something that's gonna be with

2647
02:14:36,840 --> 02:14:38,560
Speaker 13: us through the entire day. We can see the weather

2648
02:14:38,640 --> 02:14:41,120
Speaker 13: delays of an hour, hour and a half, so as

2649
02:14:41,160 --> 02:14:43,520
Speaker 13: a result, if you're going to the airport to travel today,

2650
02:14:43,640 --> 02:14:46,120
Speaker 13: please take some patience, be nice to the people who

2651
02:14:46,120 --> 02:14:48,480
Speaker 13: have no control over the weather, and don't scream at them.

2652
02:14:48,800 --> 02:14:50,600
Speaker 4: Thank you, Jay Ratler for spending time with me and

2653
02:14:50,640 --> 02:14:52,960
Speaker 4: my listeners always enjoy our conversations. We'll do it again

2654
02:14:53,040 --> 02:14:54,880
Speaker 4: next Thursday. Have a great week and best of the

2655
02:14:54,960 --> 02:14:56,960
Speaker 4: health and love to you in your better half, my friend,
