Speaker 1: booth and looking forward to seven oh five first guests

6
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: of the fifty five KRC Morning Show this morning. Of

7
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,279
Speaker 1: course it's Wednesday, that means Jack ovident with a big

8
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: picture today. Two topics. Got the filibuster, which may not

9
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: be going anywhere according to UH set up Majority leader

10
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: John Thune. Get to that in the moment, but we

11
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: will be talking about the filibuster, but also a second

12
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: topic and completely unrelated and I don't know, suicidal universities.

13
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: That's why we have Jack added in a round followed

14
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: by Americans for Prosperity, Donovan and Neil will talk about

15
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: the affordability agenda and look, gasoline prices up a lot.

16
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: Congressman Thomas Massey Trump coming to town. He's here today

17
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about the War Powers Act, and we'll

18
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:14,639
Speaker 1: talk about Congressional Sexual Hate slush Fund. Yeah, they voted.

19
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: That was an interesting one. Apparently there's multiple millions of

20
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: dollars in payouts to settle congressionally related sexual harassment claims.

21
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: When asked to reveal the documents behind the scenes, what

22
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: was it like three hundred plus to like double digits,

23
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: said now, we're not going to release the documents. I

24
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: can't remember the overall vote, but a lot of people

25
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: suppressing outrage from both sides of the political ledger. Wait

26
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: a minute, you've got all these documents, and the American

27
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: taxpayers have settled harassment claims, sexually related and otherwise against

28
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: congress people, against elected officials, and we settled it, we

29
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: paid for it, and you're not gonna let us know

30
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: what we paid for. Wow, whatever happened to transparency? I'm

31
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: glad Congressman Massy's gonna be talking about that one. And

32
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: I judge genital and depolitanus silent attacks on personal freedom. Yes,

33
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: Faiza is back, so real quick addressing some of the

34
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: issues insofar as the philibuster is concerned. And I'll look

35
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: forward to hearing what Jack Athenan says in reaction to

36
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: Center Majority leader John Thune yesterday rejecting Trump's call to

37
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: pass the Save Act by forcing Democrats to deploy a

38
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: talking filibuster but also nuking the sixty vote threshold required

39
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: in the Senate that also apparently is not an option

40
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: neither way. Thune said, the votes aren't there one to

41
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: nuke the filibuster, and the votes aren't there for a

42
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: talking filibuster. It's just a reality. I'm the person who

43
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: has to deliver sometimes the not so good news that

44
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: the math doesn't add up. But those are the facts,

45
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: and there's no getting around it. So we can't go

46
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: nuclear and we can't go talking filibuster. So again, looking

47
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: forward to have Jack talking about that breaking it down.

48
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: Trump's threat not to sign any law passed by Congress,

49
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: with the possible exception of legislation to fund Department of

50
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: Homeland Security. They're talking about doing a continuing resolution. Listen,

51
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: we've got a war going on and Department Homeland Security

52
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: might play an integral part of that. You know, maybe

53
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: funding the Coastguard might be a good idea. Let's get

54
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: those folks paid, so a cr to get the people

55
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: paid who deserve to get paid while they endeavor to

56
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: hammer out all these fixes to ice, immigrations and customs enforcement.

57
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: Of course that's the reason. And did you get the

58
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: memo we're still in a government shutdown. Hmm, how about that?

59
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: And you know, I hate to joke about it. I

60
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: don't know that anybody's feeling it except for the folks

61
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: that aren't getting a paycheck. And as we proceed closer

62
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: to Thursday with Jay Ratliffe, I guess if you're flying,

63
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: you may as well plan on showing up several hours

64
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: early because TSAs and having a bit of a problem

65
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: keeping up with the demand. So Donovan II with affordability agenda. Yes,

66
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: gas prices in the United States have jumped, of course,

67
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: since the invasion of the Iranians, the straight of horror

68
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: moves being shut down, rising more than fifty five cents

69
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: per gallon in a moment's time, going from two ninety

70
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: eight national average to three dollars in fifty nine or

71
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: fifty four cents yesterday. Average nationwide gas prices now stands

72
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: three dollars and fifty three cents per gall almost fifty

73
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,239
Speaker 1: four cents per gallon. That's increase as of March tenth.

74
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: Excuse me. Analysts are predicting the prices can continue climbing.

75
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: Gas stations of course, passing along these higher wholesale fuel

76
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: costs to US it seems counterintuitive, but you know, wait

77
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: a second. They bought the barrels of oil and the

78
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: refined gasoling at a much lower price, and yet the

79
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: price immediately goes up. You know, well, they buy wholesale

80
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: gasoling on futures market and all that. So whatever we're

81
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: dealing with the reality of a gas buddy estimating price

82
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: in many states could increase another twenty to fifty cents

83
00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: per gallon this week. Although the price of oil those

84
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: kind of volnerable, as the word immediately comes to mind,

85
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: it went down a lot yesterday, fairly dramatically off It's

86
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: high of north of one hundred dollars a barrel landed

87
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: somewhere around eighty five dollars a barrel. But you know,

88
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 1: volatle situations means volatile gasoline prices and barrel of oil prices.

89
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: And then, of course, when you pivot over to California,

90
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: go ahead and laugh at these idiots and what they've

91
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: done to themselves. Price of the regular gasoline in California,

92
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: I hope it makes you feel better since you're paying

93
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: three fifty locally, it's five dollars and twenty nine cents

94
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: highest in the country in about seventy five higher than

95
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: the national average. They did it to themselves. Why higher

96
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: fuel taxes, specialized environmental fuel blends, limited refining capacity. Did

97
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: any of those events have to happen now? Of course not.

98
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: I'm going back to the self inflicted wound. We got

99
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: to get rid of plant food in the environment. Yes,

100
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: I know, I'm on a tear and I have been

101
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: on one for a long time. With that, Someday we'll

102
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: convince everybody that's it's a believer in that religion that well,

103
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: they're idiots. You're gonna love this. I always joke about

104
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: that gas station over on Camargo, because you know regular

105
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: price and gasoline, let's say it's three dollars. Well, over there,

106
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: it's always like five. I don't know how anybody ever

107
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: fills their gas tank up there. And people who know

108
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 1: that gas station that I'm talking about, yeah, it's always

109
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: through the roof. Not as bad as reports from Los Angeles.

110
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: At least one station there charging eight dollars and twenty

111
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: one cents a gallon opportunists. So there's an affordability issue

112
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,679
Speaker 1: that Donovan O'Neil may be willing to address. As I note,

113
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: there's a brand new refinery. Trump an asked it yesterday,

114
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: the first new oil refinery built in the United States

115
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: in five decades. I find that so hard to believe.

116
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: The announced yesterday on truth America is returning to real

117
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: energy dominancy road to today, I'm proud to announce America's

118
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: first refinery opening in the first new US oil refinery

119
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: in fifty years, Brownsville, Texas. He said it'd be the

120
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: cleanest refinery in the world, So you know, you and

121
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: you people worried about the environment, It's going to be clean.

122
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: Three hundred billion dollars for this thing. Apparently India is involved.

123
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: He gave India some credit for joining him the fund

124
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: and the investment in the United States. He's he's his

125
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: America First agenda. Look, I've attracted billions of dollars in

126
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: investments in the United States. So apparently the Indian the

127
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: country of India is involved in some capacity. Three hundred

128
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: billion dollars for an oil refinery. Well, at least we've

129
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: got one. Of course, California is shutting theirs down and

130
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: one more thing, so that's affordability and Congressman MESSI Donald

131
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: Trump not shocking really anybody, I know, he really has

132
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: a problem with Congressman Thomas Massey. My friends in northern Kentucky,

133
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: my friends in the Commonwealth, what do you think does

134
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's endorsement mean something? Ed Gowring has been endorsed

135
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: by Donald Trump as of yesterday. It's official made the

136
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: endorsement for Kentucky's fourth yesterday on social media, of course,

137
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: So we'll run that by Congressom Massy as well, and

138
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: then pivoting over to Judge Enter to Polaitanos silent attacks

139
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: on personal freedom, that's PISA.

140
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 2: Now.

141
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: Donald Trump previously said he would not renew FIZA. This

142
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: is some time ago when he found out they were

143
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: using PHIZA to spy on him. Yes, if you speak

144
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: with anybody in a foreign land, you are open to

145
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: have your communications spied on. And it goes beyond that,

146
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: it goes out to like six people. So as I

147
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: understand it, and Judge entit of Polton will break it down.

148
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: Yet again, we've been down this road before because we

149
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: both believe that FISA is in and of itself unconstitutional.

150
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: But Section seven oh two is what we're talking about extending.

151
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: And this is the one that allows, well, if you

152
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: talk to anyone in a foreign land, you are automatically

153
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: basically waiving your Fourth Amendment right to be free of

154
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: unreasonable searches and caeizure. You're supposed to have probable cause

155
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: that a crime has been committed. You know, probable cause

156
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: that you're engaged in criminal activity. Go to the court

157
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: and say, here's all the reasons why we need to

158
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: spy on this person. Section seven and two of five said, whatever,

159
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 1: we got a file the court, We'll go ahead and

160
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: allow you to take a look at everybody's records. Yeah.

161
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: So yesterday, House Republican leaders said they are advancing a

162
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: plan to extend fis A section seven and two. Intelligence

163
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: Committee chair Rick Crawford, Republican from Arkansas, as well as

164
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: majority Leavers Steve Scalise said they will advance section seven

165
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: to two of FIZA before the April twentieth deadline when

166
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: it is set to expire with no new restrictions on

167
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: intelligence agency. So just complete well you get it now,

168
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: Folks like me, Folks who believe in the Fourth Amendment,

169
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: we think warrants are required before looking at data for

170
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: people in the United States. Scalise said, we're going to

171
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: be talking to all our members, but the President made

172
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: it clear why it's important again, one hundred and eighty

173
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 1: degree shift from President Trump. Now he's back to renewal

174
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: section of seven oh two. When he met with House

175
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: Republicans during the annual retreat this pass or just Monday,

176
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: Trump proposed attaching here's a good one. The Democrats like

177
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: PISA two, and they've voted to extend and renew it before.

178
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: Trump is now proposed attaching the PHISA reauthorization to the

179
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: Save America Act. That's the one that, of course it

180
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: requires proof of citizenship to register to vote. This is

181
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: the one that he said he's not going to sign

182
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: any legislation until it gets passed. This is the one

183
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: I think that's the subject matter of the filibuster vote.

184
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: But if the Democrats are really clamoring to get PHISA

185
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 1: renewed and it will expire on its own terms by

186
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: April twentieth, would they vote to pass the Save Act

187
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: along with FISA or would they stand in the opposition

188
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: to both of them. It's an interesting gamble. I suppose

189
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: Section seven to two First and Act in two thousand

190
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: and eight periodically reauthorized by Congress. A yes, permits warrantless

191
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: surveillance and surveillance of foreign targets. But again, if you're

192
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,359
Speaker 1: talking with a foreign target, I think that's an overstatement.

193
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: Foreign person judge and Polatano of course has friends in Italy.

194
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: He always likes to refer to that. So I'm speaking

195
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: with my cousin in Naples. Automatically I can get my

196
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: record spot on and then every person I talk to,

197
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: like you, Brian, when I speak to you on Wednesday,

198
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: since I've talked with a foreign national, you will also

199
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: have your record search. I've kind of given into the

200
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: reality that I have. I also have a friend in

201
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 1: France that I have occasionally communicated with. Guy went to

202
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: church with when he's a kid. He's now French citizen,

203
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: he has been for a long long time, every once

204
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: in a while, and of course every time I have

205
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: done that, it opens me up to being spied on.

206
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: Is that right? But security? Yeah, you know the old

207
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: adage about giving up your rights in the name of

208
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: maybe getting more security. Anyway, that's you run down. They

209
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: plus Janie Heisel, she's gonna be doing tompower you someon

210
00:11:55,559 --> 00:12:01,599
Speaker 1: are fraud in Minnesota but also brought in Kentucky or

211
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: at least waste eight hundred million dollars of waste Medicaid

212
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: related waste in my friend from my friends in the Commonwealth,

213
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: but probably more fundamentally corrupt hospices in Los Angeles. This

214
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: is insane. We are a wash in fraud. It would

215
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: someone stand up for the American taxpayer and put an

216
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: end to this five eighteen fifty five KRC detalk station

217
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight

218
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: hundred and eight two three talk Time five fifty on

219
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: AT and T phones.

220
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 3: Will be right back when you jump on the back

221
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 3: of a pole and a gay swing spacen middle.

222
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I went over to gas Buddy real quick here,

223
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: so I'm making fun of that gas state notorious gas

224
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: station on Camargo, right. I looked it up, so there.

225
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: I just typed in Indian Hills zip code that is

226
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: Indian Hill. I don't live there. Three forty nine at

227
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: two stations, and then if you go to the Camargo Marathon,

228
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: it's three ninety nine. So there you have it. People

229
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: like trying to show off to get their gas there.

230
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: You only drive it likes an extra quarter of a

231
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: mile and you can get fifty cents off your gas.

232
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: You go there because you can prove to the rest

233
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: of the world, you can afford to pay outrageous prices

234
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: for gas. I don't know anyway. Look, City of Cincinnati,

235
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: facing a twenty nine and a half million dollar budget deficit,

236
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: calling for five percent cuts in the next budget didn't

237
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: share a Long's review include praises about her handling of

238
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: the budget. Joe, I seem to recall talking about that yesterday.

239
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: We are not a washing cast, Joe. Budget director Andrew

240
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: Dida said, the general fund departments have been asked to prepare,

241
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 1: prepare for it, Brace for it. Cuts a five point

242
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: one percent. I love this. Reductions don't have to be

243
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 1: the only solution to closing the deficit, as we've done

244
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: in the past years. With deficit situations, it's usually a

245
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: combination of ready additional revenue increases in revenue along with

246
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: that would be two mentions to additional revenue in one

247
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: sentence from the budget direct additional revenue increases in revenue

248
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: along with expenditure reductions, and I expect the same this year.

249
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: So that sounds like tax increases along with reduction in services.

250
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: Wait for it and just sort of you know, thought exercise.

251
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: What kind of message does it project to the rest

252
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: of the world about the stat of Incineti's finances and

253
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: claims for increased tax revenue or increased revenue right open

254
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: for business sign may be hanging there, but no one's

255
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: paying any attention to it. Over to my friends. In

256
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: the Commonwealth, State auditor Alison Balluh released a special examination

257
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: of the Kentucky Department of Medical Services AKADMS. It says

258
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: the failure on the part of DMS led to more

259
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: than eight hundred million dollars in wasted tax payer money.

260
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: Now your pikers compared with the waste fraud abuse of

261
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: Minneapolis as well as what they're finding a Los Angeles. Yes,

262
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: investigations are growing, more and more fraud, waste and abuse

263
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: being revealed. And again I go back to why isn't

264
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: this the ultimate issue for I want to say the Republicans,

265
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: but for all taxpayers. Who is against ferreting out fraud,

266
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: waste and abuse. Apparently, according to the auditor, DMS did

267
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: not take basic steps to ensure it wasn't making duplicate

268
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: payments payments made by other states. For example, when a

269
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: recipient moved out of Kentucky and enrolled in another medicaid program.

270
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: The law requires it's a check for and investigate alerts

271
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: from the federal government about double payments and that they're occurring.

272
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: DMS failed to do that, leading to again eight hundred

273
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: million dollars worth of well necessary pay payments made. Thank you,

274
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: Just do your job, It's all we're asking. Do your job.

275
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: Five twenty five firty five care CE detalk station in

276
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: local story five one three seven nine fifty five hundred,

277
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: eight hundred and eighty two to three talk five five

278
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: fifty on AT and T phones. Getting used to looking

279
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: up and seeing Tom on the phone there, I kind

280
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: of feel like I'm I'm lost. I guess I'm going

281
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: to have to do local stories since nobody else has

282
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: calling in.

283
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 4: Don't vote Democrats, Thank you, Joe just tracker.

284
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: At least he's on record. So Donald Trump's coming to

285
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: town today. We don't know a whole lot specifics about

286
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: where he's going to be at any given time. We

287
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: got some general margins. Apparently flight restrictions at CBG are

288
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: in effect between one pm and six thirty pm, so

289
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: there's your kind of narrowing down to the window. I

290
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: guess he's going to be landing around one scheduled to

291
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: visit in Ohio and Kentucky. In Ohio, Thermo Fisher Scientific

292
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: that's in Redding apparently going to go there to talk

293
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: about Trump r X dot GO. But I anticipate he's

294
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: going to stop in Kentucky first, since it's widely reported

295
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: that he's visiting Verse Logistic contract packing facility in northern Kentucky.

296
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: Road to closures and traffic impacts have not yet been announced,

297
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: but considering he's landing at one and it's widely reported

298
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: that the visit there would be around one o'clock, I

299
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: suspect there first, then traveling up to Reading. In fact,

300
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: even though we don't know where the motorcaide is going

301
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 1: to be at any given time, Redding Community Schools are

302
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 1: operating on an early dismissal schedule led it to parents,

303
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: said readings Junior and Senior High School dismissed at twelve

304
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: thirty pm. Elementary schools out of twelve pm due to

305
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: the anticipated traffic disruptions. But as he travels around, you

306
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: can expect roads will be closed for the motorcade, and

307
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: they're recommending that you steer clear of any major roads

308
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: like I seventy five and I seventy five. During his

309
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: visit so the window one to six pm. Cosmic crapshoot

310
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: about where he's going to be at any given time.

311
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: Just expect that you may run into a traffic delay.

312
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 1: My son works at a business it's really close to

313
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 1: the reading locations. He's already wondering about that anyhow, Good luck, Jerry.

314
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: We have a Cincinnati man sentenced to more than three

315
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: years in prison for his involvement in a romance fraud scheme,

316
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: apparently scamming lally and bereaved victims that are more than

317
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: two million dollars. This according to the US Attorney's Office

318
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: for the Southern District of Ohio. It's probably something Dave

319
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: had to may bring up on Tech Friday. Richard Opuku Agimang,

320
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: That's about the best I can do, Agimang, forty one

321
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: years old. It conspired with scammers in Ghana. Apparently you

322
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: stolen pictures and false information to create profiles on dating sides,

323
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: targeting vulnerable people. Do you believe anything you see online anymore?

324
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 1: Fortunately for me, describe my relationship as happily married. I

325
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: haven't had to go to a dating site ever. I

326
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: just kind of wonder what it would be like to

327
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: be single in this world. But when you see a

328
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: picture anywhere, really anymore, can you believe it's real? Just

329
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: Trekker can come up with a picture of a real

330
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: human being using chat, GPT or some other AI program.

331
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: It looked like a real human being. Look that's me

332
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: on the dating site. Well, obviously scammers are using this

333
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 1: to their advantage. Scammers established relationships with these elderly victim

334
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: tricked them into sending money to cover medical expenses. Some victims,

335
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: it's reported, having to sell their homes, vehicles, cash in

336
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: life insurance, are four toh one K accounts and max

337
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: out their credit cards due to the scheme red flag

338
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: much this Agumen guy open American bank accounts where the

339
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: victims would wire the funds or deposit checks directly. Court

340
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: documents say previously defrauds it for defraud of the Small

341
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: Business Administration by fraudulently obtaining nearly twenty one thousand dollars

342
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: in Paycheck Protection Program loans. Oh look more fraud related

343
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: to the PPP loans. Thank you. COVID court ordered him

344
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: to pay almost one point four million in restitution to

345
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: the victims, twenty eight hundred dollars to the small Business administration.

346
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: I guess I have to ask out loud whether that

347
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: money is still around anymore. And I have to double

348
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: down and say, listen, if somebody's asking you for money,

349
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: you never met him before. And I got to imagine

350
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 1: that's the case here. You've never met this person before.

351
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: It is an image on a dating app. How is

352
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: it that they were able to finagle you into giving

353
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: them money. I remember one point in time, I had

354
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 1: a really good friend. He hit me up for money.

355
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: I was thinking to myself. I looked at him, I said, no,

356
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: why not, I said, because friends don't lend friends money.

357
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: You know, if you don't pay me back, that's going

358
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: to be a real problem for our relationship anyhow, even

359
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: someone I know. Since I police investigated the death of

360
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: a man found at a construction site in the Carthage neighborhood.

361
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: The second body discovered to the same address, Dispatchers sent

362
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: over about one point thirty yesterday the sixty four hundred

363
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: block of Rosewood Street for reportedly a person believed to

364
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: be dead. Officers got there and the Cincinnta Fire Department arrived, confirming, yeah,

365
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 1: that guy's dead. Cruise were demolishing a condemned home on

366
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: Rosewood Street when they fo on the body. Cause of

367
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: death under investigation. Home has been the sight of multiple fires.

368
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: Back in August at twenty four killed one person. Second

369
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 1: fire approximately three weeks ago about three am, destroyed what

370
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: remained of the structure. Neighbors said no one had lived

371
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 1: in the home for some time before it had been condemned.

372
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: According to a neighbor, Michelle, twenty three year old resident

373
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: of Rosewood Street, said she was aware the demolition, but

374
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: was caught off guard by the discovery of the body.

375
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: Those people had been working on the house for a

376
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. They tore it down. They didn't have

377
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: a body yesterday they didn't work on and all of

378
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: a sudden, they have a body, she said. People experiencing

379
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: homelessness had been known to come and go from the property.

380
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: Despite incidents at the address, she said, the surrounding area

381
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 1: remains peaceful. All we have a nice neighborhood, she said, quiet.

382
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: No matter what anybody thinks, it's a nice neighborhood. Everybody

383
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: goes to bed at eleven o'clock. So don't let the

384
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: one home ruin your perception of that entire neighborhood. Say

385
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: here and again, twenty five million dollar deficit for the

386
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati. Oh and look, Cincinnati's facing a general

387
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: fund deficit for the last for ten of the last

388
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,479
Speaker 1: thirteen fiscal years. Oh my god, we don't get America

389
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: Rescue Plan funds anymore. Yeah, COVID's over. You shouldn't have

390
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 1: been relying on those to balance your budget anyway. And

391
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: that's one of the more nefarious elements coming out of COVID.

392
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: The billions and billions of dollars thrown out trillions, I

393
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: should say, thrown out into the world on all these

394
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: underwater cities, obviously mostly left leaning cities with their massive

395
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: budgetary problems. Yeah, used to pay off those the jam

396
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: they got themselves in because they couldn't say no to anything.

397
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: So you've got an opportunity to speak. First public hearing

398
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: was last Wednesday, and according to The Enquirer, I'm sorry

399
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: apologies to Becka Costello, a WVXU reporting on this one.

400
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: Most of the people who showed up, all twenty of them,

401
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:59,239
Speaker 1: advocated for a few specific nonprofits who were asking for

402
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: more money this year year. Yeah. Good, So you know,

Speaker 1: thirty pm North Avondel Rec Center. That's six seventeen Clinton Springs.

405
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: You can chime in on it since any council is

406
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 1: going to be hearing from residents who show up there.

407
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 1: I hope more than twenty show up. You think Todd

408
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: Zenzer might be there our citizen watchdog and next opportunity

410
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: Rec Center, Chuck Barcoltz. If you're out there, I have

411
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: a feeling he will be there. Then the department heads

412
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: present their needs and budget request the council several meetings

413
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: for that in March and April. Cheryl long expected to

414
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: submit her first draft of the budget to mayor have

415
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: to have per bowl by the third week of May.

416
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 1: Then they typically hold a joint press conference to discuss

417
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: the first draft, and then a final public hearing the

418
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 1: first week of June. Residents can also give feedback on

419
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: the budget proposal during regularly scheduled meetings of the Budget

420
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 1: and Finance Committee that does take place Mondays at one pm,

421
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: and any of Todd Zenzer's report from the front lines

422
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: at those meetings as any indication you can speak but

423
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 1: they won't listen. Five point thirty six five KRC the

424
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: talk station. We'll do a stack of stupid. It is

425
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 1: five forty one and fifty five KR City Talk Station,

426
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: and Brian Thomas right here looking forward to talking to

427
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: Bobby was on the phone. I look forward to talking

428
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: to you too. Anybody wants to call in. It's an

429
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: enjoyable exchange. Five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred,

430
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: eight hundred eighty twenty three talk pound five fifty on

431
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: AT and T phone. Joe Strecker trying to save the

432
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: City of Cincinnati some money. He started with, well, maybe

433
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: don't do the five million dollar reparations thing, so that

434
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: takes our budget deficit from what twenty nine and a

435
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,959
Speaker 1: half million down to twenty four and a half. He

436
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: recommended maybe terminating IRIS rollies seven hundred thousand, roughly little

437
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 1: more than a little rounding up on that one seven

438
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars contract, bringing us down to roughly maybe

439
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: twenty four twenty three nine, And then maybe we don't

440
00:24:55,040 --> 00:25:00,160
Speaker 1: build the solar project. The one hundred megawatt new Market

441
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: solar array apparently was one hundred and twenty five million

442
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: dollars to build it. We didn't pay anything for that

443
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: upfront anyway. They utilized what they call a twenty year

444
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,719
Speaker 1: power purchase agreement with some energy company to build their

445
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: thing at a fixed rate. I know we're paying for

446
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: it in some level, but it's the separate one. The

447
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: smaller project in Center Hill Landfill estimated cost over twelve

448
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: million dollars, So we could cut twelve million right there,

449
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:28,199
Speaker 1: Joe Man, We've already eradicated about half of the overall

450
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: budget deficit without having to raise taxes. Now, if we

451
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: just get rid of funding the NGOs that the city

452
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 1: taxpayers are paying for, god knows what work they're actually

453
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: doing or what the money's going for, I think we've

454
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: gotten down to zero. Just to thought, Bobby, welcome to

455
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: the program. Thanks for indulging me on that. Good to

456
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 1: hear from you.

457
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 5: Happy hump Day, my brother face Flag's family and budget

458
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 5: dipss is that it? Well, I don't know in my

459
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 5: household if I'm to depths and how in the world

460
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 5: am I outloading people money? I just don't understand. How

461
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,520

Speaker 5: and everything else and not heavy money?

463
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: Well, con all the foot traffic and revenue that's going

464
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: to be generated by the activity going on inside the

465
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: hotel and the surrounding businesses that have also been supplemented

466
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: by the taxpayer dollars. They're going to cover the cost

467
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 1: and also additional profit.

468
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 5: Well, I got one more thing. It's really close to

469
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 5: my heart. With beautiful weather coming and summertime and springtime,

470
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,080

Speaker 1: There's another one.

473
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 5: I mean it doesn't end. I mean, you know, it

474
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 5: doesn't got people there. We got people walking on the

475
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 5: sidewalks holding skateboards. I see them all the time.

476
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: I know they're just waiting around for their own skate park.

477
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: Nowhere to go, Bobby, I understand that you know the

478
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: same thing about the skate park. It only provided the

479
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: mayor with one ribbon coming cutting opportunity. You can't go

480
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: back there and keep going ribbon cutting ceremonies and talk

481
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: about how awesome you are for having brought a skateboark

482
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: skateboard park to one neighborhood while the rest of the

483
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: city's infrastructure collapses. Hey, look, skateboard park. Yeah, you mentioned

484
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: that one already. Mayor, you could throw a lot of

485
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: potholes with that money. Hell yeah, the list is endless.

486
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: Maybe hire some more police officers with the money, make

487
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: your own list, show up at one of the budget

488

Speaker 4: God forbid, we we get some Republicans in there to

549
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 4: try to be fiscally irresponsible and oh no, we can't

550
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 4: have that. Let's let's just let's just keep letting them

00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 4: for this, that and the other. By the way, the

555
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 4: idea of Bobby on a skateboard.

556
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: Is is that good one?

557
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 4: That's one of the better ones live. That's pretty good.

558
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,840

559
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 4: weather's bad, I can see him sitting in front of

560
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 4: a TV playing Tony Hawk or something like that. So, yeah, that.

561
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: I've met Bobby. And this isn't a shot of Bobby,

562
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: but the vision absolutely completely unlikely to ever see anything

563
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: like that.

564
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 4: So are we gonna are we gonna say that with sarcasm,

565
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 4: we're gonna is that where we're going at.

566
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: Well, I you know, to your to your fiscal response ononsibility.

567
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: You know, maybe one of the reasons I no longer

568
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: self identify as a Republican is because here I have

569
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: been waiting my entire life for Republicans to actually be

570
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: fiscally responsible and deliver on dealing a massive across the

571
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: board budget cuts from government.

572
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 4: But oh oh yeah, we've had that conversation many times.

573
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 4: Republicans are not, you know, angels in any way, They're

574
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 4: not the saviors of the country or in any way,

575
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 4: shape or form, but they're way better than what we have. Yeah,

576
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 4: we have to at least agree on that we've got

577
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 4: to get better before we can get it right. So

578
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 4: and and you know what, what other option is there, Brian?

579
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 4: I mean, okay, we've got people like Christomers Smeatherman, so

580
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 4: and and well we get a bunch of into something

581
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 4: anything other than Democrats. And by the way, you got

582
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 4: a lot of bad weather coming at you, kid titting

583
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 4: us right now. We're in a likening delay at the

584
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 4: job right now. So very heavy rain, heavy winds, lightning,

585
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 4: thunder bitstorm. So anyway, So all that being said, people

586
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 4: don't vote Democrat, have a great have.

587
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: A great day, bin, and you're going to vote Republican.

588
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: Try to find one that actually will embark on fiscal responsibility.

589
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: Got time forward there, you got. I can get another

Speaker 1: you put the ruber the the Uber women only option

616
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: in the stack of stupid Joe. Yeah, he can. He

617
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: can request. It's called women's women preferences. So when you're

618
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: you're you're calling for your Uber ride, you can you

619
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: can request a female driver. I don't know that they've

620
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: necessarily addressed the transagender issue in this one, Joe, but

621
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: you got I guess you gotta be a woman task

622
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: for a woman driver. This is a women only things.

623
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 1: The only women are in the car. I just wonder

624
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: whether if I got an Uber, if I could request

625
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: a women only option. Hey, I don't know, make it

626
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 1: lucky with a pretty uber driver, just a shot, just

627
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: a possibility, five or six fifty five kr SE Detalk Station. Oh, look,

628

Speaker 1: people are not in favor of war new pulling out

629
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: complicating matters. Maybe as we move forward toward November with

630
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,359

647
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: Apparently Americans aren't interested in the war in a round

648
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: on at least a new Quinnipiac poll and other polls

649
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: suggesting not so popular. Coming up seven oh five, Big

652
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: with Jack athered in today suicidal universities. We have to

653
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: wait till seven oh five. Didn't know what he's talking

654
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: about on that one. Donald and Neil on Affordability Agenda

655
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 1: for America that rolled out a brand new affordability agenda.

656
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about the details on that with

657
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,479
Speaker 1: Americans for Prosperities Donald and Neil seven thirty Fast forward

658
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: two hours eight oh five with Congressman Thomas Massy. Trump

659
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: came out and endorsed Ed gowerin yesterday, not shocking anyone.

660
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 1: Of course, he's at war with Thomas mass He might

661
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 1: get his you have him chime in on that. But

662
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 1: we'll also talk about Trump's visit to town today, which

663
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: includes the stopping in Northern Kentucky, the War Powers Act.

664
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,479
Speaker 1: Maybe on the FISA vote that's coming up, since Donald

665
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 1: Trump went one eighty on that previously saying no, we

666
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:56,359
Speaker 1: will not renew FISA. Now they're fast tracking. Apparently Fourth

667
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 1: Amendment doesn't mean anything.

668
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 8: I know.

669
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: That's what Congressman Judge entered. Apaula Tanna is going to

670
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: talk about after Congressman Massey as well with his op

671
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,399
Speaker 1: ed piece Silent Attacks on Personal Freedom. We'll also talk

672
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: about with Congressman Massy about Congressional Sexual Hate SLUS slush fund.

673
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: That'll be a tasty topic with Congressman Massy. And finally,

674
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: Janice Heisel joins a program at the tail end of

675
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: the eight o'clock hour, Got an empower youth Suminar fraud

676
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. Yeah, a lot of it. And we pivot

677
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,280
Speaker 1: over to the latest national polling. And I know polling

678
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: will it's it reflects people's attitudes and thoughts at a

679
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: moment in time, and we do have shifting views on things.

680
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: But as of right now, Quinnipiac University suggesting that more

681
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: than half of American voters oppose the US military action,

682
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: and specifically fifty three percent of voters question in the poll,

683
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: so the opposed US military action against Iran, forty percent

684
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: support it. There are other surveys which kind of track

685
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: that as well. The MPR, PBS, Marist poll forty four favor,

686
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:05,959
Speaker 1: fifty five against CBS forty four in favor, fifty six

687
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: against NBC, forty one in favor, fifty four against Washington

688
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: Post thirty nine in favor, fifty two against CNN forty

689
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: one fifty nine. Reuters ipsos twenty seven forty three. That's

690
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: an odd one bottom line, indicating across the multiple polls

691
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: that came out recently, minority support for the action. Fox

692
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: poll conducted the twenty eight through March second fifty to

693
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: fifty split and of course shocking. There are differences in

694
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: polling between Democrats and Republicans. Eight and ten Republicans in

695
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,280
Speaker 1: the Fox survey approved the US use of force against

696
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: Iran six and ten, saying the President's actions on Iran

697
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: are making the US safer over the Democrats side of

698
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 1: the ledger. Oh my god, I'm shocked. Eight and ten

699
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 1: Democrats six in ten independence disapprove of the military action.

700
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: The vast majority of Democrats in the Quinnipiac University poll,

701
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:05,479
Speaker 1: as well as six and ten independents opposed to strike again.

702
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: That's pivoting over to Quinnipiac as opposed to the Fox.

703
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: Although tracking similar results. Eighty five percent in the Quinnipiac

704
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: support the military action Republicans uh fifty. All of those

705
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: questioned the Quinnipiac poll said they did not think that

706
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: Iran posed an eminent threat to the United States, which

707
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: was the predict good for the launching of the action.

708
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,760
Speaker 1: Partisan divide on that eighty three percent of Democrats, sixty

709
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 1: three percent of Independence that Iran did not pose an

710
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: imminent threat. Seventy five percent of Republicans said it did.

711
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: I suppose that is a subjective determination. Is it not? Well,

712
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: since we're already bombing around, I guess these things really

713
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: don't matter. And this is kind of one of the

714
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 1: reasons you're supposed to seek congressional authorization. So you have

715
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: these things going back and forth. Wait a second, isn't

716
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 1: an eminent threat. Let's talk about the eminence of the threat.

717
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: Let's go back and forth on that. Maybe they're points

718
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: in favor of concluding that it was imminent. Maybe not,

719
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: But at least if you have a discussion about it,

720
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: make an informed decision. That's the way I lean. Insofar

721
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: as a ground troops, Yeah, that's a bad idea, at

722
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: least in so far as polling's concerned. Three quarters of

723
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: voters opposed sending US ground troops into Iraan, ninety percent

724
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:26,280
Speaker 1: of Democrats, seventy five percent of independence and even fifty

725
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 1: two percent of Republicans. Now reach around and pull out

726
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: your own guests on this one. How long is it

727
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 1: going to last? A question that no one can answer,

728
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 1: although I would argue, since we're we're right in the

729
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,760
Speaker 1: middle of the War Powers resolution ticking clocks, the Congress

730
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:51,439
Speaker 1: didn't authorize military force. In fact, they rejected to pass

731
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 1: an authorization for use of military force. But they also

732
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: rejected withdrawing the troops right away. So it leaves us

733
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: in a kind of state of limbo, which is what

734
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: we've been operating in this country under since World War

735
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 1: Two as far as military action goes. But how long

736
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: do you think it's going to last? In the Quinnipiac poll,

737
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: three percent said days, optimists, eighteen percent suggested weeks, thirty

738
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:21,240
Speaker 1: two percent say months, thirteen percent said last a last

739
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 1: a year, and twenty five percent or over a quarter,

740
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:28,240
Speaker 1: said it's going to last more than a year. Meanwhile,

741
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: Trump approvals rating is down thirty seven percent in the

742
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: Quinnipiac poll, which is close to the recent polls in

743
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 1: Fox which forty three percent approval forty four percent for

744
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 1: NBC News. Kind of the polls are at least tracking

745
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: each other. But how does the war end? And I

746
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,399
Speaker 1: can dive into a part of what Walter Russell means

747
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 1: article which addresses this sort of the tide shift that

748
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: people have during war, points out his energy prices surge,

749
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:57,760
Speaker 1: stock market declient's worldwide drive driven by the vibe shift,

750
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: the reaction to the straight of horn moves being shut off,

751
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 1: primarily the right to Many analysts and foreign leaders conclude

752
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: that Iran's strategies are working or were working. In the

753
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,439
Speaker 1: United States would have to choose between ending the war

754
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 1: well short of victory or committing large numbers of ground

755
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 1: troops to another Middle East quagmire in the making, But

756
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,800
Speaker 1: he points out the pessimism is likely premature. Vibe shifts,

757
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: going back to the polling are common in war as fear, hope,

758
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: and rage swirl together. Less than so far, Iran's threat

759
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,240
Speaker 1: to America is both greater than many Iran doves understood

760
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,720
Speaker 1: and more difficult to address than many Iran hawks hope.

761
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: With missile and drone attacks, and we had Hezbala launching

762
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: these cluster bomb attacks yesterday, coordinated raining down cluster munitions

763
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 1: over Israel, which are really bad ideas, they're indiscriminate, they

764
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: kill the civilian population, and I think they're kind of

765
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:58,359
Speaker 1: outlawed at least under some treaty or something. Has Bala

766
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,720
Speaker 1: doesn't pay attention to that though. Anyway. With the missile

767
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,720
Speaker 1: and drone attacks, Tehran has succeeded in at least temporarily

768
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: blocking nearly all traffic in and out of the Strait

769
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: of Hormuz and forced some golf countries to curtail oil

770
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: and gas production. They say, if the waterway remains largely closed,

771
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: we can expect what analysts call the greatest energy shocks

772
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 1: since the nineteen seventies. Right the OPEC oil embargo in

773
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,399
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three. Fun times, they were I even kind

774
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: of have a memory of that. People my age and

775
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 1: order remember the gas lines golf. The golf is more

776
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: than fossil fuels rights. As the Golf Cooperation Council, countries

777
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: have sought to reduce their dependence on oil and gas exports.

778
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 1: They have built up energy intensive industries, data centers, aluminum smelters.

779
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: These are vulnerable to iranium missiles and drone attacks. Additionally,

780
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 1: exports of helium, described as vital for South Korean semiconductor production,

781
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 1: have been blocked. Golf also an importance center for fertilizer production,

782
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: worrying a lot of countries that they may enter a

783
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: period of starvation without fertilizer, White House and Congress can

784
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: expect calls from frantic farmers has cost shooed up. Poor

785
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 1: countries may be priced out of the fertilizer market. Since

786
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 1: World War Two, US presidents of both parties believe that

787
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 1: preventing any hostile country from blackmailing the rest of the

788
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,760
Speaker 1: world by blocking exports from the Golf was a vital

789
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 1: national interest. This reality, not Israeli lobbying, has been the

790
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: driving force behind American Middle East policy. The war shocks

791
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: rattling global financial markets show how important this factor remains.

792
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 1: If Iron pressures the United States and the war before

793
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: it can break the blockade and cripple Tehran's ability to

794
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: impose new blockades down the road, the Mulas will hold

795
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 1: and acknowledge veto power over the ability of their Golf

796
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: neighbors to trade with the world. The urting regime could

797
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 1: then threaten a global economic crisis at will, and would

798
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 1: build up the weapons and war chests that will make

799
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 1: its position unassailable. That's if we pull out prematurely. No

800
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: phrasing button on That holds another lesson. Tehran's nuclear weapons

801
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: program is an important element of the threat to the region.

802
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 1: But nukes are But nukes are only one of the

803
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: weapons Iran could use to block the trade there. Ron

804
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 1: already in Ron's missiles and drones have blocked the Golf,

805
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 1: at least temporarily. This capability would only grow in time

806
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:21,919
Speaker 1: as the Mullas replenish their arsenals, and unless checked, Ron

807
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,240
Speaker 1: could soon deter attacks on its nuclear program by threatening

808
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: to close the golf. The war looks to set looks

809
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 1: set to end in one of three ways. Again, this

810
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 1: is Walter Russell means opinion. One, a clear and damaging

811
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 1: American defeat. If a mix of global pressure and domestic

812
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: opposition forces the Trump administration and the conflict before full

813
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 1: trade is restored to the golf, a battered to Iran

814
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,360
Speaker 1: will have emerged, having demonstrated its ability to close the

815
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 1: golf against everything the world's greatest military power can throw

816
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: at it. America's power and prestige, not to mention, Trumps

817
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 1: would struggle to recover from such a fiasco. Yeah, I

818
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: doubt Trump's going to go down that road. Alternatively, Number two,

819
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 1: the Americans could reopen the golf as a new Iranian

820
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: government more focused on developing the country than on dominating

821
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: its neighbors emerges. This would be a major victory for

822
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: the Trump administration. But note who they just put as

823
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: the Supreme Leader, a guy probably far more radical than

824
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:24,479
Speaker 1: the prior Supreme leader that we blew up. Most likely,

825
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: scenario three is an in between scenario in which the

826
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 1: US largely clears the Golf, but the current regime survives

827
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 1: Operation Epic Theory would in that case be remembered as

828
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 1: the mother of all lawnmowers, solving nothing fundamental but preserving

829
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 1: a fragile balance of power in a vital part of

830
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: the world. And it's only one scenario in there that

831
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 1: sounds like a big win for the United States. Israel

832
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 1: and I would argue all the surrounding Arab countries and

833
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: that will be the overall win. I'm not holding my

834
00:46:57,520 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 1: breath though. Five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty five hundred,

835
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 1: eight hundred and eight two three talk pound five fifty

836
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 1: on eight and T phones. Make sure six twenty three

837
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 1: fifty dot karsee the talk station Happy Wednesday five went

838
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 1: three seven, four nine to fifty five hundred eight hundred

839
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 1: eight to two three talk or pound five fifty on

840
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 1: AT and T funds. I mentioned Trump announcing the three

841
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 1: hundred billion dollar Texas refinery, calling it a massive win

842
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 1: and also the cleanest refinery in the world three hundred

843
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 1: billion dollars. I still can't cover the price tag for

844
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:31,240
Speaker 1: that anyway. Brownsville, Texas is the recipient of the award

845
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: for the new refinery. Obviously a lot of jobs and

846
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 1: course energy stability gasoloone stability, first refinery in fifty years.

847
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 8: Uh.

848
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 1: In other i'd say somewhat related Texas. Again, it's a

849
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:49,240
Speaker 1: big magnet Texas and Florida. Why yes, the regulatory environment

850
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: excellon mobiles moving. They've been in New Jersey for one

851
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 1: hundred and forty four years. They are pulling out and

852
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 1: going to Texas. They announced the plan to move from

853
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 1: New Jersey to Texas the other day in search of

854
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 1: a more busininess friendly environment.

855
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 9: Hmmm.

856
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 1: March tenth Annual Board Meeting recommended the shaffholders approved the

857
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 1: change incorporated in New Jersey in nine eighteen eighty two.

858
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 1: Things were different back then. Now, they do point out

859
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: it's kind of a New Jersey is a historical location.

860
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:18,320
Speaker 1: A lot of their business had already shifted to Texas

861
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:22,439
Speaker 1: over the past multiple years with good reason. The board

862
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 1: said ditching New Jersey for Texas, in their words, may

863
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: reduce the risk of future frivolous litigation. According to the filing,

864
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 1: Texas legislators, judges, and juries who might make decisions that

865
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: impact Exxon Mobile are generally more familiar with our complex

866
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 1: business and operations. That kind of familiarity means we are

867
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:43,360
Speaker 1: more likely to get reasonable, productive decisions from Texas officials

868
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 1: and citizens. They suggest the residents of Texas are more

869
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 1: likely to recognize their industry and how much it benefits

870
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: the state. Yes reliable and affordable energy, jobs, tax revenue,

871
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 1: long standing community involvement. There's a lot of reasons to

872
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 1: have Exonmobile in your neighborhood. Excell Mobile also says provisions

873
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 1: in the Texas Business Organization Code, we'll better protect the

874
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 1: company from opportunistic or frivolous inspection demands from that New

875
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: Jersey law reduced provides see. The regulatory environment is so

876
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: damn important, you know. And I mentioned the price of gasoline.

877
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:27,799
Speaker 1: You know that we popped up over three dollars and

878
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 1: fifty cents nationally, and the article pointed out they're paying

879
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 1: a bucks seventy five more in California because of it's

880
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 1: just boiled out regulations, these self inflicted wounds in the

881
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 1: name of whatever. You know, we're on competition together. And

882
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 1: I think of the city of Cincinnati. It's budget deficit

883
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 1: and they're desperately trying to attract businesses. They got a

884
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 1: twenty almost twenty nine million dollar budget, hold of fill again.

885
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: Ten of the last thirteen years they've had a budget deficit.

886
00:49:55,840 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 1: They're talking about raising taxes. Is that a magnet for investment?

887
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 1: You ready to move down there? Six thirty one the

888
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 1: Big five KR see the talk station. Hey, very happy

889
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 1: Wednesday to you. Looking forward to the Big Picture with

890
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 1: Jack Addan coming up after the top of the OIR

891
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 1: News plus the Donald and Neil Americans for Prosperity rolling

892
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 1: out an affordability agenda for America. That's one hour from now.

893
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 1: In the meantime, over to the phones, we go. Let's

894
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 1: see what my submarine or friend cribbage Mike has got

895
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 1: today cribbage Mike. Welcome back, buddy. It's always great hearing

896
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:29,799
Speaker 1: from you.

897
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 2: Thanks Brian. Before I get to my quick, thanks about

898
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 2: Honor flight. Real quick about the budget. Maybe a homemark

899
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 2: assignment for Todd Zenz or next time he's in. Last week,

900
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 2: we celebrated our thirteenth anniversary of being open at the

901
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 2: casino downtown and by law, so the state gets thirty

902
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:52,320
Speaker 2: three percent of our gross revenue. Out of that thirty

903
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 2: three percent, fifty one percent comes back to Hamilton County.

904
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 2: And because being a host county at a host city

905
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:04,720
Speaker 2: of the four casinos, Cincinnati gets fifty percent of whatever

906
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 2: Hamilton County gets. So you multiply that over thirteen years.

907
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 2: I would love to just see how that will be allocated.

908
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 1: Okay, let me just turn to again WVXUS Becca Costela

909
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 1: reporting on this. This is what the breakdown. Where does

910
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: city revenue come from? She writes in this article about

911
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 1: the deficit twenty nine and a half million deficit, earnings

912
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 1: taxes sixty one and a half, property taxes eight point

913
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 1: four percent, shared or state shared revenue two point eight percent,

914
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: casino tax one point seven percent. So the revenue of

915
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,359
Speaker 1: all the revenue taking into the city is one point

916
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 1: seven percent of the total. Now, I know that doesn't

917
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: address you know, the percentage coming from Hamilton County, but

918
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 1: I guess fifty percent of what goes to Hamilton County

919
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 1: goes to the city. That still only covers one point

920
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,399
Speaker 1: seven percent of all of the city's revenue. So it's

921
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 1: not a very substantial amount.

922
00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 2: It's just you know, just like a famous man once said,

923
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 2: we don't have earnings problem, we have a spending problem.

924
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:06,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, hey, they broke ground on the land the

925
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 1: new landfill solar array. That's twelve million dollars. You know, look,

926
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:11,800
Speaker 1: we got a budget deficit of twenty nine and a

927
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 1: half million cut down that. Who needs to build one

928
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:16,840
Speaker 1: of those damn things? Global warming? Yeah, we're going to

929
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 1: solve it right here in the City of Cincinnati. Mike.

930
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 1: That's our Yeah, Yeah, that's us.

931
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

932
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 2: And then real quick, the flightless Honor flight that we

933
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 2: had Sunday was just a phenomenal success. The one thing

934
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:31,439
Speaker 2: that we had no control over and being over the top,

935
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 2: and of course that was the weather. Over years now,

936
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 2: it has grown with the amount of veterans that are

937
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 2: coming before It used to be pretty much just restricted

938
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 2: to the amount of assisted living facilities that we would

939
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 2: pull together and have it near their location. But more

940
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 2: than half of those fifty veterans are being brought because

941
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 2: the words getting out or was brought by family members,

942
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 2: and for the most part, they get the entire honor

943
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 2: flight experience, with the exception of actually being on that

944
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 2: plane and taking up sixteen hours. We put together a beautiful,

945
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:04,759
Speaker 2: well produced video for forty five minutes, so they get

946
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,360
Speaker 2: to see their memorials, they get to hear the thanks

947
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 2: from the people in the video, and then of course

948
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:12,400
Speaker 2: when they went through the parade, just a phenomenal turnout

949
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:15,720
Speaker 2: by the citizens of Anderson Township, the family members, police,

950
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 2: fire boy scouts, great school kids. You know the guy

951
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 2: I was helping around, you know, he basically said, I'd

952
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,240
Speaker 2: never been to a New York City ticker tape parade,

953
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 2: but this is even better than that. That's great, and

954
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 2: I want to thank you and Joe again once again,

955
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 2: because I talked to a couple from Anderson Township regular

956
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 2: listeners who didn't know about it until they heard it

957
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 2: on your show. They were there, and you know, they

958
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,840
Speaker 2: basically said, is this is what happens over at CBG.

959
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 2: I said multiply times one hundred, and they said we

960
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:44,919
Speaker 2: will definitely be there. O great, so no better way

961
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 2: to kick off our season and of course for everyone,

962
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 2: our very next flight is in a couple of weeks

963
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 2: Tuesday April seventh.

964
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 1: Tuesday April seventh. Of course I'll be talking about it

965
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 1: here in the fifty five Kersey Morns Trump'm sure you

Speaker 1: involved in on our fly will be on the pro

968
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 1: around to talk about it. Get people ginned up for

969
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 1: the return home celebration at CVEG. It is a gorgeous, beautiful,

970
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 1: patriotic make you cry with joy experience. And God bless

Speaker 1: Honor Flight, and thank you as always for your service

973
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:19,480

974
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:23,759
Speaker 1: service people, particularly in times of war. If you want

975
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 1: to call it that, I know there's a debate about this.

976
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 1: Six thirty five fifty five car see detalk station. I

Speaker 1: what's going on here in Ohio? Hold on one moment

982
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 1: on that over fifty five car Se dot Com. Get

983
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:51,839
Speaker 1: the Daniel Davis deep dive ever. We talked to him

984
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 1: every Tuesday at eight thirty, preceded by the Insight Scoop

985
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 1: with bright Bart News the economic impact of the Iran War.

986
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 1: Of course we're talking about Iran and Daniel Davis bit

987
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:02,800
Speaker 1: of a pessimist. Daniel Davis is a lot of reasons

988
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:05,319
Speaker 1: to be pessimistic. It's really a big question mark how

989
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:07,839
Speaker 1: uncertain we are about which direction it's ultimately going to go.

990
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:13,879
Speaker 1: But absent outright winning, as Russell Meade pointed out, leaves

991
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 1: Ron in a really weird position of being able to

992
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 1: do this, Ie shut down the Strait of Horror moves

993
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 1: any damn time at once and low and behold in

994
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 1: a moment's time, the ripple effect of shutting down the

995
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:29,240
Speaker 1: Straight of Horror moves. Isn't it amazing that that sixteen

996
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 1: to twenty mile wide strip has been able to impact

997
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:36,759
Speaker 1: the entire globe global economy. That's what happens when twenty

998
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 1: percent of what we actually use to generate energy gets

999
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 1: shut off in a moment's notice. Anyway, Daniel Davis not

1000
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:43,960
Speaker 1: real optimistic about how this thing's going to turn out.

1001
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 1: You can listen to see what he has to say.

1002
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 1: Fety five Carecy dot com. John Carney on the academic

1003
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 1: incompity of that. We heard from Tom Zawistowski. We the

1004
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 1: people Convention on Shenanigan's going on in here in Ohio.

1005
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 1: So it's all right there and get your iheartmediaf so

1006
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:57,400
Speaker 1: you can stream the audio you ever happened at wherever

1007
00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 1: you happen to be. Now you're gotta love this. I

1008
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:02,320
Speaker 1: know a lot of my listeners, including me, were a

1009
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 1: little upset with the Ohio budget which included what six

1010
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:11,360
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars for a new Dome stadium for the

1011
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. Where do they get that money from the

1012
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 1: unclaimed fund You know, we have one of those. So

1013
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:18,240
Speaker 1: if you close a bank account, or a bank account

1014
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 1: gets closed, maybe you don't claim a lottery ticket, whatever,

1015
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:23,719
Speaker 1: it goes into the unclaimed funds. Now you can make

1016
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:25,360
Speaker 1: a claim on that, and there's a way to do that,

1017
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:27,840
Speaker 1: but you got to have the right paperwork. Some have

1018
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,320
Speaker 1: been successful, some have not. Joe Strecker got what was it?

1019
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:34,759
Speaker 1: A buck? Twenty five? Buck twenty seven? Sorry, I short

1020
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:39,959
Speaker 1: change your two cents there, Joe. Of course he needed

1021
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 1: that little extra buck twenty seven to pay his energy bill.

1022
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 1: But from that they're taking six hundred million dollars. And

1023
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure you could come up with a better thing

1024
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 1: to spend the money on if that money is readily available. Oh,

1025
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 1: a lawsuit says no, it's not. A judge put a

1026
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 1: temporary block on it. On Monday, Pleminary injunction, Franklin County

1027
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 1: Magistrate Jennifer Hunt found that the planefs in this lawsuit,

1028
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 1: filed by former Ohio Attorney General Mark Dan Democrat, are

1029
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:12,839
Speaker 1: substantially likely to win the case on the marriage I remember,

1030
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:14,400
Speaker 1: when you go in for an injunction, you're asking for

1031
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 1: the relief you want in the lawsuit right away, irreparable

1032
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 1: harm if you have to stop this now, and a

1033
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: judge only issues an injunction if an analysis of the

1034
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 1: law based on the faction in front of the judge

1035
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 1: suggests that the planners are going to win likelihood of

1036
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:35,400
Speaker 1: success on the merits. That's what the judge said, so

1037
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 1: now the plan to use that money has paused while

1038
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 1: the case moves forward. It's a class action lawsuit arguing

1039
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 1: that provisions of Ohio's two year sixty billion dollar budget

1040
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:48,479
Speaker 1: that took about a billion dollars from the unclaimed funds

1041
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 1: account that pay for the stadium, and notably that haslam

1042
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 1: Sports Group is planning. Yeah, they owned the Browns. You see,

1043
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 1: if you can figure out how much the Haslum's Sports

1044
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:06,280
Speaker 1: Group is worth, Joe right behind Elon Musk probably anyway,

1045
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 1: they judge had violated. They the planets claim it violates

1046
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 1: constitutional prohibitions against taking people's private property for government use

1047
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 1: and also as well as citizens due process rights. Dan

1048
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 1: and former Representative Jeffrey Crossman, both Democrats, filed the legal

1049
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 1: action on behalf of three named Ohio residents, as well

1050
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 1: as all other individuals whose unclaimed funds were being held

1051
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 1: by the state. Litigation challengings to the specific budget provisions

1052
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 1: diverting more than a billion dollars in unclaimed funds to

1053
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:40,400
Speaker 1: create an Ohio Cultural and Sports Facility Performance Grant Fund. Yeah,

1054
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 1: and didn't everybody stick their hand in the cookie jar

1055
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 1: on that one once it was created wasn't there a

1056
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 1: church they had a sports facility that've had a hand

1057
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 1: in the cookie jar or tried to get some money

1058
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 1: out of that too, Joe, Yes there was. It wasn't

1059
00:58:54,720 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 1: ten billion. All the haslands are worth ten billion, huh,

1060
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 1: which means or suggests very loudly that they don't need

1061
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 1: this six hundred million dollars in your high one claim funds. Yeah,

1062
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 1: we've been down that road before. Hio Attorney General Dave

1063
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:18,560
Speaker 1: Joe's office said it's reviewing the decision and determining its

1064
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 1: next steps. Call it a minor victory and maybe an

1065
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:29,360
Speaker 1: overall victory. You know, I don't care. Republican Democrat, I

1066
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:31,840
Speaker 1: don't care if a communist filed that lawsuit. I love it,

1067
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 1: and I like the injunction being put in place. No,

1068
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:40,440
Speaker 1: the money shouldn't go for sports, period. List of demands

1069
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:42,439
Speaker 1: and needs from government seems to be endless, and maybe

1070
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 1: we should start focusing our attention elsewhere and quit expecting

1071
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:48,400
Speaker 1: something from the government. They usually screw it up, don't they.

1072
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 1: Five three seven fifty eight hundred eight two three talk

1073
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 1: another phone, Umber. I'm going to give you here in

1074
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 1: a second. Six fifty one fifty five KCIT the talk

1075
00:59:57,520 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 1: station update from Joe Strack. He said, the rain, looking

1076
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:04,920
Speaker 1: at the radar just crossed La Lawrenceburg, Indiana. So my

1077
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 1: friends in Cincinnati, it is right there at the doorstep

1078
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 1: here and pretty significant too. Tom called about that earlier

1079
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:13,880
Speaker 1: and his job got shut down because a lightning strike.

1080
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:18,320
Speaker 1: So God speed guy, Tom, and real quick before I

1081
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 1: get to Jay, did a little look into Jimmy Haslin.

1082
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 1: I talked about, you know, the six hundred million dollars

1083
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 1: that was gonna come from the unclaimed funds that's been

1084
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 1: put on hold, thank god, because the injunction was issued. Ah.

1085
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 1: Joe said he saw because Joe's tracker looked it up.

1086
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 1: He made ten billion dollars by selling the Pilot truck

1087
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 1: stops to the Berkshire Hathaway Group back in twenty twelve,

1088
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 1: so he was sitting pretty there. Happens down seventy percent

1089
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:43,680
Speaker 1: of the Cleveland Browns, one hundred percent of the Columbus

1090
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 1: Crew soccer team, twenty five percent of the Milwaukee Bucks

1091
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:52,160
Speaker 1: NBA team, also described as in the top five wealthiest

1092
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 1: sports owners Top five. Joe seemed to think that Jimmy

1093
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 1: could find the six hundred million dollars of taxpayers are

1094
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 1: going to give him in his couch. I think you're

1095
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:05,400
Speaker 1: right on that, Jay, Welcome to the Morning Show. Always

1096
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:08,919
Speaker 1: good to hear from me. A happy Wednesday, Hey, Happy Wednesday, Brian.

1097
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 1: A fantastic interview with Tom Zawistowski yesterday.

1098
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:17,680
Speaker 10: If I got with me, Oh, he validated everything I

1099
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:20,120
Speaker 10: ever suspected about Ohio Central Committee.

1100
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:20,640
Speaker 1: That's funny.

1101
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:20,880
Speaker 3: Jay.

1102
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 1: I actually your name popped in my head when he

1103
01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:26,320
Speaker 1: was going on his terrier. So I hope Jay's out

1104
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:27,720
Speaker 1: there listening. I'm glad you were.

1105
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 10: Oh I was, and you know, anytime, just a lesson

1106
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:37,440
Speaker 10: for anybody listening. When there's a political group that calls

1107
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 10: themselves central committee, that is communism, that is the birth

1108
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 10: of communism is And also, if you take a look

1109
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:47,560
Speaker 10: at when this country went off the rails, it was

1110
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 10: I believe it was during the Huber administration that there

1111
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 10: was this idea of we're going to have government by experts, unappointed, unelected.

1112
01:01:57,240 --> 01:01:59,160
Speaker 10: We're going to get a bunch of smart people who

1113
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:01,400
Speaker 10: can't be fireired their elections.

1114
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 1: Wasn't that Wilson?

1115
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 10: It was Wilson. Brian, well done. When I said Hoover,

1116
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:07,920
Speaker 10: I thought, I don't think that's right.

1117
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 4: It was Wilson.

1118
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:11,640
Speaker 1: That's the Wilson methodology. Yeah, we're going to hire we

1119
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:14,840
Speaker 1: all know better than you people to surround yourself with

1120
01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:18,120
Speaker 1: the eggheads who are superior to you intellectually and will

1121
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 1: leave all the decision making for them. Damn the people

1122
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 1: and their thoughts, ideas and well the concept of representative

1123
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:27,720
Speaker 1: government exactly.

1124
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:29,439
Speaker 10: And we don't even know. I mean, you can look

1125
01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 10: them up, but it's not easy to find who these

1126
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:34,479
Speaker 10: shadow people are. Now here's what's interesting about this race

1127
01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 10: for treasurer. Jay Edwards was one of the Blue twenty two,

1128
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 10: and Tom called him out. Yeah, I did a little research.

1129
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:44,800
Speaker 10: The Blue twenty two were censored by the same Ohio

1130
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:52,560
Speaker 10: Central Committee after they abandoned the conservative speaker Derek Man

1131
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:55,240
Speaker 10: maybe was his name. I'm not great with my names

1132
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:57,560
Speaker 10: this morning, but we had a very conservative speaker. It

1133
01:02:57,600 --> 01:03:00,120
Speaker 10: was lined up. Everybody was going to vote for this guy.

1134
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:06,600
Speaker 10: Twenty two jumped over with Democrats to abandon that idea

1135
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:09,320
Speaker 10: to make sure that that didn't happen. The same Ohio

1136
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 10: Central Committee that censored those Blue twenty two are now

1137
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:16,440
Speaker 10: backing Jay Edwards. And I would light up Bernie Marino.

1138
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 10: I think if he said Bernie Marino is supporting this person,

1139
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:22,720
Speaker 10: it's time for us to light up Bernie Morino's phone

1140
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:26,440
Speaker 10: number and every one of our elected politicians, and it's

1141
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 10: time for us if anybody is voting with the Ohio

1142
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:31,480
Speaker 10: Central Committee, then vote them out. If it's true what

1143
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 10: Tom said, and we have politicians Republican Party is scared

1144
01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 10: of Ohio Central Committee, it's our job to make them

1145
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 10: more scared of us than more scared of Central Committee,

1146
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 10: and maybe have a strong suggestion shut down the Central Committee.

1147
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 10: It didn't exist until nineteen eighty five. What problem did

1148
01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:48,360
Speaker 10: it solve being formed?

1149
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:50,240
Speaker 4: All this was exactly what.

1150
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:54,520
Speaker 10: The problem that occurs after it's formed is that our vote,

1151
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:58,320
Speaker 10: our primaries are no longer our primaries. They're getting involved,

1152
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:01,840
Speaker 10: putting their money in influence behind who they want. So

1153
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:04,720
Speaker 10: what I would say is, don't vote Rhino, figure out

1154
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:08,320
Speaker 10: who's in. DJ Swerringen, by the way, was another one.

1155
01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 10: I know he was backing Holly's act and I applaud that,

1156
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 10: but he was another one who jumped the fence. So

1157
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 10: we need to memorize those names and also need to

1158
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 10: call our representatives and our politicians right down the line

1159
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 10: and tell them that they're voting with Ohio Central Committee,

1160
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:25,680
Speaker 10: they're going to lose your job.

1161
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:28,800
Speaker 1: Well, and I'll head off maybe an email that's being

1162
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:31,640
Speaker 1: typed right now, Rick, I will tell Jay right now

1163
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 1: join Central Committee. Jay, I get an email for Rick

1164
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 1: allif I Jay should get on Central Committee and change

1165
01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:41,520
Speaker 1: the dynamic. Just the thought, Jay, But I appreciate where

Speaker 1: That takes the weight off my shoulders.

1189
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 5: Jack.

1190
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:40,000
Speaker 11: Here you go one quick urgent point before we get

1191
01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:46,200
Speaker 11: to the topic suicidal universities, and you run, says the FCC.

1192
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 11: Let me say, damnable on your show, Brian, damn right

1193
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 11: they do, all right, good, it is damnable. The Democrats

1194
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:58,720
Speaker 11: are holding up funding not for the hated ICE, which

1195
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:02,720
Speaker 11: was fully funded by big beautiful bill. No, Democrats are

1196
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:07,280
Speaker 11: withholding funds for a month then counting, and paychecks for

1197
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:12,360
Speaker 11: airport security, the Coast Guard, FEMA, the entire Department of

1198
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:16,680
Speaker 11: Homeland Security in the middle of a war, a war that,

1199
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:20,640
Speaker 11: in compliance with the War Powers Act, the House and

1200
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:24,240
Speaker 11: the Senate last week voted not to stop at least

1201
01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:28,280
Speaker 11: for now. What are Democrats demanding to avoid a filibuster

1202
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:32,760
Speaker 11: on the funding of Homeland security that ICE be reformed.

1203
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:36,680
Speaker 11: They don't mention that no reforms are requested by thirty

1204
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:41,400
Speaker 11: nine states because those states already signed agreements to cooperate

1205
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:46,560
Speaker 11: with ICE on deportation detainers. They hand over deportees over

1206
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:51,720
Speaker 11: de ICE peacefully, and even in never Trump states like Minnesota,

1207
01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:55,440
Speaker 11: which refuse to turn over the worst of the worst,

1208
01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 11: excuse me, I'm Backbrian protesters in the face of ICE agents,

1209
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:08,360
Speaker 11: people who sometimes use a car to drive the isations.

1210
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:14,600
Speaker 11: Even in anti America Minnesota, DHS has already caved in

1211
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 11: to many Democratic demands. Tom Holman's quietly scaled back the

1212
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:24,800
Speaker 11: initial surge. President Trump's fired DHS supermodel Christy Nome. He's

1213
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:28,440
Speaker 11: now trying to replace her with Senator Mark Wayne Mullen,

1214
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:33,560
Speaker 11: who should thrill DEI Democrats because he's the only Native

1215
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:37,280
Speaker 11: American in the US Senate apart from Elizabeth Warren.

1216
01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:39,400
Speaker 6: Mullen is jeroch d.

1217
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:44,960
Speaker 11: Warren is a fraud, as all Democrats are, because rather

1218
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:50,040
Speaker 11: than accept good faith concessions, Democrats only grow more ravetous.

1219
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:53,680
Speaker 11: These political worst of the worst don't want to protect

1220
01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:58,680
Speaker 11: America from illegal migrants. Democrats invited tens of millions of

1221
01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:02,080
Speaker 11: them to invade Americamerica so they could become a new

1222
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:06,400
Speaker 11: base of voters for Democrats, totally dependent on big government,

1223
01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:11,280
Speaker 11: which is why Democrats also oppose voter id the Save

1224
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:15,439
Speaker 11: America Bill. So what do we have to do right now? Well,

1225
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:17,840
Speaker 11: a lot of people may disagree, a lot of people

1226
01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:21,559
Speaker 11: in Congress, but it's some things Democrats surely will do

1227
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:26,000
Speaker 11: as soon as they regain Congress. Do a way with

1228
01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:31,280
Speaker 11: Senate filibusters. As you know, counselor philibusters are not a

1229
01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:35,559
Speaker 11: part of the Constitution. These reason our founders required super

1230
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:41,000
Speaker 11: majorities only for things like treaties and impeachment convictions. It's

1231
01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:47,080
Speaker 11: because the founders wanted legislators to legislate with simple Senate majorities,

1232
01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:51,599
Speaker 11: not sixty votes. Thanks to the filibuster threat, our current

1233
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:56,240
Speaker 11: Congress has passed nothing but the one big, beautiful bill.

1234
01:08:56,800 --> 01:08:59,920
Speaker 11: Filibusters work only when we have political parties that will

1235
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:05,000
Speaker 11: willing to compromise, willing to work together. Today's top down

1236
01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:09,480
Speaker 11: Democrats are beyond that. They care only about sabotaging Republicans,

1237
01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:14,519
Speaker 11: f Trump and regaining power. Folks, the model of this

1238
01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:18,880
Speaker 11: segment is power corrupts. The new Democrats are corrupt to

1239
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:23,559
Speaker 11: the core and filibusters. Now do we have Tom Brian

1240
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 11: to discuss the universities in America and Iran.

1241
01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:29,120
Speaker 1: Of course we do. I would just say that I

1242
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:31,840
Speaker 1: mentioned this morning as far as the filibusters concerned, if

1243
01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:34,639
Speaker 1: you want to get rid of it soon, A Senate

1244
01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:37,160
Speaker 1: Majority leader John Thune said they don't have the votes

1245
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:39,479
Speaker 1: for that. His quote was, the votes aren't there one

1246
01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:41,760
Speaker 1: to nuke the filibuster, in other words, to get rid

1247
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:44,520
Speaker 1: of it. And the votes aren't there for a talking filibuster.

1248
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:46,880
Speaker 1: It's just a reality. I'm the person who has to deliver.

1249
01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:49,559
Speaker 1: Sometimes they're not so good news that the math doesn't

1250
01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:51,760
Speaker 1: add up. But those are the facts and there's no

1251
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:52,639
Speaker 1: getting around it.

1252
01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:55,400
Speaker 11: So well the facts for now. But we can get

1253
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:58,760
Speaker 11: in touch with our representatives, in this case, our senators.

1254
01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:00,599
Speaker 6: And make sure that they change their minds. Look, they

1255
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:01,840
Speaker 6: changed their minds before.

1256
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, Democrats and establishment Republicans and Donald.

1257
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:10,559
Speaker 1: Trump he did a one eighty on Piza. He used

1258
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:12,799
Speaker 1: to be against renewing it. Now it's up for renewal

1259
01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:14,800
Speaker 1: and he's all in favor of renewing it. So even

1260
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:16,840
Speaker 1: Donald Trump doesn't want eighty from time to time.

1261
01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:20,599
Speaker 11: Well, as far as the philibuster goes, he has nothing

1262
01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 11: to say, but senators do. Democrat Senator Harry Reid made

1263
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:28,800
Speaker 11: an exception for the confirmation of federal judges, which is

1264
01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 11: why we have so many Democrat operators on the lower

1265
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:38,600
Speaker 11: federal benches. Then uniting Republicans for once, Mitch McConnell expanded

1266
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:42,479
Speaker 11: that philibuster exception to include Supreme Court justices.

1267
01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:44,559
Speaker 6: Although you know the problem.

1268
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:47,320
Speaker 11: It's not a problem in my opinion, but as a

1269
01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:50,759
Speaker 11: working matter, Democrats, when you put them on the Supreme Court,

1270
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:53,800
Speaker 11: they all vote one way. When you put Republicans on

1271
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:58,200
Speaker 11: the Supreme Court, it's a crapshoot. Take Amy Coney Barrett.

1272
01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:03,280
Speaker 11: She doesn't even support consistently the First Amendment. We had

1273
01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:06,880
Speaker 11: a Democrat, Anthony Kennedy, who could always be counted on

1274
01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:09,479
Speaker 11: to support the First Amendment. That was his one exception.

1275
01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:13,200
Speaker 11: But with Republicans, we'll just have to see expanding the

1276
01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:16,559
Speaker 11: court though, when Democrats do it when they take power,

1277
01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:20,760
Speaker 11: you're just going to get more Democrat robots. Anyway, you

1278
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:21,360
Speaker 11: want to go on to.

1279
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:24,800
Speaker 1: University, absolutely, go ahead, We got time.

1280
01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:26,320
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1281
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:31,439
Speaker 11: We mentioned last week how self destructive Iranian university students

1282
01:11:31,479 --> 01:11:35,720
Speaker 11: were back in nineteen seventy nine Jimmy Carter's time when

1283
01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:38,840
Speaker 11: they helped kick out the Shah and replaced him with

1284
01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:44,080
Speaker 11: Iyatola Polmani, the first one. As one observer gleefully noted, quote,

1285
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 11: a fibrant array of left wing parties, from liberal to Marxist,

1286
01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:55,120
Speaker 11: played a role in the Iranian revolution. Okay, However, almost

1287
01:11:55,160 --> 01:12:01,439
Speaker 11: immediately women gaze any opponents of Radici Islam realized what

1288
01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:05,519
Speaker 11: they had done, that it was suicidal. But it was

1289
01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:09,800
Speaker 11: too late, because what Iran's repentant students lacked then and

1290
01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:13,640
Speaker 11: now is not just freedom. They lacked what made freedom

1291
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:18,160
Speaker 11: possible here in America. In seventeen seventy six, the right

1292
01:12:18,400 --> 01:12:23,440
Speaker 11: to bear arms. Iran has no second Amendment. Our founders

1293
01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:27,400
Speaker 11: added that amendment to the Constitution because the revolutionary war

1294
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:31,720
Speaker 11: was not just about General Washington. His continental army was

1295
01:12:31,760 --> 01:12:36,920
Speaker 11: mostly comprised of local militias and volunteers who brought their

1296
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:41,280
Speaker 11: own guns. Beyond Washington's army, a lot of the fighting

1297
01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:46,080
Speaker 11: was guerrilla warfare, waged by militias and by ordinary Americans

1298
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:49,000
Speaker 11: on their own. One of my heroes as a kid,

1299
01:12:49,520 --> 01:12:51,600
Speaker 11: listeners my age, we're a little older than you or

1300
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:54,719
Speaker 11: Brian may remember him from a Walt Disney TV series,

1301
01:12:55,160 --> 01:12:59,719
Speaker 11: Francis Marion the Swamp Fox. He pounced on the British

1302
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:04,840
Speaker 11: and said Carolina with his dreaded irregular militia. One of

1303
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 11: the biggest challenges we now face in Iran is how

1304
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:11,760
Speaker 11: to distribute arms that have been outlawed there for decades. So,

1305
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:14,320
Speaker 11: even though I'm not a gun owner like you, Brian

1306
01:13:14,439 --> 01:13:18,000
Speaker 11: and our friends John and Tom, I'm awfully glad that

1307
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:21,480
Speaker 11: we all have the right and the means to defend ourselves.

1308
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:22,200
Speaker 6: Now.

1309
01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:27,960
Speaker 11: The Persian people, look through history, have always been brilliant.

1310
01:13:28,560 --> 01:13:34,479
Speaker 11: How did Iranian universities turn suicidal? By following the pattern

1311
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:39,200
Speaker 11: of American universities, Starting with the most prestigious, they became

1312
01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:45,440
Speaker 11: incubators and weapons for Marxism, sworn enemies of Western values

1313
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:49,839
Speaker 11: dating back to our friends the ancient Greeks. Marxists suppose

1314
01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:56,439
Speaker 11: individual rights, defending instead the collective, the theocracy, the big state.

1315
01:13:57,040 --> 01:14:04,559
Speaker 11: They oppose unfettered thought, defending instead leftist orthodoxy regarding the economy, climate, gender,

1316
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:10,360
Speaker 11: anything that promotes elite dictatorship. For helping Greeks think for themselves.

1317
01:14:10,439 --> 01:14:14,280
Speaker 11: Athens condemned Socrates to drink hemlock on the other side

1318
01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:17,880
Speaker 11: of the world to suppress dissent. The first emperor of

1319
01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:22,639
Speaker 11: a Unified China, Chin Shi Huang burned books and buried

1320
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:27,639
Speaker 11: four hundred and sixty scholars alive. Twenty two centuries later,

1321
01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:33,679
Speaker 11: Maoseedung's Cultural Revolution kept the flames burning, as had Nazi Germany,

1322
01:14:34,240 --> 01:14:39,080
Speaker 11: but censorship actually led to Hitler's undoing. In nineteen seventeen,

1323
01:14:39,120 --> 01:14:43,040
Speaker 11: the Max Planck Institute for Physics opened in Berlin. Its

1324
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:46,720
Speaker 11: first director was a Jew who, in nineteen oh five

1325
01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:50,559
Speaker 11: had rethought our whole notion of space and time until

1326
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:54,120
Speaker 11: Albert Einstein had to flee from Germany with the rise

1327
01:14:54,120 --> 01:15:00,000
Speaker 11: of the Nazis. Hitler dismissed as Jewish science Einstein's insights

1328
01:14:59,800 --> 01:15:03,960
Speaker 11: in to Adam splitting, so the Nazis, thank goodness, never

1329
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:08,799
Speaker 11: got the atomic bomb. American universities today teach all kinds

1330
01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:13,560
Speaker 11: of things. Harvard offers more than three thousand, seven hundred courses,

1331
01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:17,680
Speaker 11: everything from physics to immigrant justice.

1332
01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:19,519
Speaker 6: That's a four credit course.

1333
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:22,880
Speaker 11: Brian I could entertain everybody with a laundry list of

1334
01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:26,800
Speaker 11: other woke offerings and an even longer list of conservative

1335
01:15:26,840 --> 01:15:30,360
Speaker 11: thinkers who were censored for being politically incorrect.

1336
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:31,840
Speaker 6: Don't take my word for it.

1337
01:15:32,320 --> 01:15:36,360
Speaker 11: A survey by the student newspaper The Harvard, Crimson found

1338
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:41,240
Speaker 11: that only one percent of faculty described their political beliefs

1339
01:15:41,320 --> 01:15:47,120
Speaker 11: as very conservative. A former Yale professor, Robert Bork, was

1340
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:51,160
Speaker 11: blackballed from joining the US Supreme Court by Democrats in

1341
01:15:51,280 --> 01:15:55,240
Speaker 11: nineteen eighty seven, not because he was unqualified. Pork had

1342
01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:59,519
Speaker 11: already served as Solicitor General, acting Attorney General, and judge

1343
01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:02,680
Speaker 11: on the US US Court of Appeals Jush. Bork was

1344
01:16:02,800 --> 01:16:06,879
Speaker 11: universally recognized as one of America's most brilliant legal minds.

1345
01:16:07,160 --> 01:16:11,799
Speaker 11: But Bork was a judicial conservative. He did not believe

1346
01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:14,559
Speaker 11: in courts making up new law, and he could have

1347
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:19,719
Speaker 11: argued the likes of Sonya Sotomayor and Katanji Brown Jackson

1348
01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:26,080
Speaker 11: under the table. Worst of all, Bork eviscerated leftist universities,

1349
01:16:26,320 --> 01:16:31,800
Speaker 11: including his school and mine Yale, that surrendered to anti American,

1350
01:16:32,080 --> 01:16:37,040
Speaker 11: anti Western radicals in the nineteen sixties. Bork's book Slouching

1351
01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:41,400
Speaker 11: toward Gomorrah hurls this thunderbolt quote when the use of

1352
01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:45,599
Speaker 11: the nineteen sixties generation listened to often leftist faculty members,

1353
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:49,840
Speaker 11: we had our invasion of the barbarians, only they are

1354
01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:54,240
Speaker 11: now tenured barbarians. And Bork went on to write modern

1355
01:16:54,320 --> 01:16:58,439
Speaker 11: liberalism is what fascism looks like when it has captured

1356
01:16:58,479 --> 01:17:05,519
Speaker 11: significant institutions, most notably universities. The danger of university bias

1357
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:08,479
Speaker 11: Brian is not just that it spreads lies. It's that

1358
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:13,800
Speaker 11: bias censors truth. Bias stands opposed to debate, which is

1359
01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:17,759
Speaker 11: required to arrive at truth. As we've discussed many times,

1360
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:23,000
Speaker 11: the supposed best and brightester being not educated but credentialed,

1361
01:17:23,439 --> 01:17:26,200
Speaker 11: and even disciplines that used to be meritocracies they had

1362
01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:30,439
Speaker 11: to be medicine architecture, they're now being forced to lower

1363
01:17:30,479 --> 01:17:35,200
Speaker 11: their standards, so folks walk quickly past new buildings designed

1364
01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:41,160
Speaker 11: by dei architects. They may collapse to talitarian regimes like

1365
01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:46,760
Speaker 11: Nazi Germany, China and Iran thankfully cripple themselves by suppressing

1366
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:49,320
Speaker 11: the truth. And even in the Land of the Free

1367
01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:51,719
Speaker 11: and the Home of the brave, during this two hundred

1368
01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:55,719
Speaker 11: and fiftieth anniversary of our independence, our independence from top

1369
01:17:55,800 --> 01:18:00,719
Speaker 11: down government and censorship, even in America, we must fight

1370
01:18:01,120 --> 01:18:04,640
Speaker 11: every day for freedom because if it's up to democrats,

1371
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:07,280
Speaker 11: we won't fight for the people of a run and

1372
01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:09,320
Speaker 11: we won't fight for ourselves.

1373
01:18:09,880 --> 01:18:12,599
Speaker 1: What do you say now, I say that that course

1374
01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:14,760
Speaker 1: you mentioned over at Harvard University is going to set

1375
01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:18,080
Speaker 1: you back three thousand, seven hundred dollars per credit hour.

1376
01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:19,800
Speaker 1: Can you imagine that?

1377
01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:22,640
Speaker 11: Well? O of that it's paid by tankspayers.

1378
01:18:22,120 --> 01:18:25,280
Speaker 1: Thirty seven hundred dollars per credit hour. Oh and I

1379
01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:29,559
Speaker 1: just I going back to my college teaching and all

1380
01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:31,760
Speaker 1: the courses I took. I recall a lot of this

1381
01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:34,719
Speaker 1: left wing activism began in the late sixties. At Berkeley

1382
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:37,000
Speaker 1: was a hotbed for it, with the Student for Democrats

1383
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:40,160
Speaker 1: Society in the free speech movement, Mario Savvio marching around

1384
01:18:40,160 --> 01:18:43,280
Speaker 1: campus and leading protests. And I don't know if that's

1385
01:18:43,320 --> 01:18:46,000
Speaker 1: where the fire started for all this left wing ism

1386
01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:48,640
Speaker 1: on college campuses. But you know, sadly, Jack, you know

1387
01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:50,760
Speaker 1: it as well as I do. You can't find, really,

1388
01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:54,160
Speaker 1: with the exception of Hillsdale College, a university you can

1389
01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:55,920
Speaker 1: count on to at least be neutral in terms of

1390
01:18:55,920 --> 01:18:59,640
Speaker 1: teaching its students. It's all left wing propaganda and indoctrination

1391
01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:03,240
Speaker 1: up with woke ideologues that come out with these worthless degrees.

1392
01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:05,040
Speaker 1: And I don't know what they do except take to

1393
01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:07,040
Speaker 1: the streets and get paid by the George Soroses of

1394
01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:08,480
Speaker 1: the world to be activists.

1395
01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:11,400
Speaker 11: Yeah, but you gotta have a degree. Gotta have what

1396
01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:15,840
Speaker 11: do you, Brian? Have you heard Democrat claims that Mark

1397
01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:20,480
Speaker 11: Wayne Mullen, the Senator, is unqualified to head Homeland Security

1398
01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:26,000
Speaker 11: because he has only an associate degree in construction technology,

1399
01:19:26,400 --> 01:19:30,439
Speaker 11: not a bachelor's degree. Mullen left school early. I don't

1400
01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:32,040
Speaker 11: care if he didn't go at all, but he did

1401
01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:35,760
Speaker 11: leave school early to care for his dying father and

1402
01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:39,599
Speaker 11: then take over the family plumbing business. Yes, he turned

1403
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:41,680
Speaker 11: into four thriving businesses.

1404
01:19:41,760 --> 01:19:41,960
Speaker 8: Right.

1405
01:19:42,280 --> 01:19:45,880
Speaker 11: I wish more people in Washington were as uneducated as

1406
01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:47,240
Speaker 11: Senator Mark Wayne Mullen.

1407
01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:50,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, demonstrably qualified a skill said that few people on

1408
01:19:50,680 --> 01:19:53,479
Speaker 1: the Democrats side of the aisle actually have the ability

1409
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:56,400
Speaker 1: to work and think and in earn a living for

1410
01:19:56,479 --> 01:19:59,840
Speaker 1: his family and become successful. Maybe I overlooked at jack

1411
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:02,719
Speaker 1: other than where is it in the Constitution that running

1412
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:06,800
Speaker 1: for a political office on a national level requires a degree?

1413
01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:08,800
Speaker 1: I thought there was just an age cutoff. You had

1414
01:20:08,840 --> 01:20:10,360
Speaker 1: to be a minimum age of what twenty five and

1415
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:14,360
Speaker 1: in the Constitution or something. That's it. Any US citizen.

1416
01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:15,600
Speaker 6: Luckley William F.

1417
01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:18,439
Speaker 11: Buckley Junior used to say he'd rather be governed by

1418
01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:21,519
Speaker 11: one hundred names out of the Boston phone Book than

1419
01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:22,960
Speaker 11: by anybody from Harvard.

1420
01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:26,200
Speaker 1: Words you can live by like yours, Jack Avid. Always

1421

Speaker 6: And Paula, thanks so much, of.

Speaker 1: Seven thirty one, fifty five KRCD talk Station, Happy Wednesday.

1431
01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:52,800
Speaker 1: After the top of the hour news a TOOFI would

1432
01:20:52,840 --> 01:20:55,920
Speaker 1: Congressman Thomas Massey, followed by Judge Ennita Paulatano, a couple

1433
01:20:55,960 --> 01:20:58,000
Speaker 1: of my favorite libertarians, and we're gonna hear from Jesse.

1434
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:00,559
Speaker 1: Heislding the power you summoner on fraud and Minnesota. But

1435
01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:02,519
Speaker 1: without further Ado, it's that time of week we get

1436
01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:05,840
Speaker 1: to talk with Donovan and Neil from Americans for Prosperita,

1437
01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:08,400
Speaker 1: and today we got the affordability agenda and I really

1438
01:21:08,600 --> 01:21:11,679
Speaker 1: like what the key takeaways are from this national survey.

1439
01:21:11,720 --> 01:21:14,000
Speaker 1: Welcome back Donovan and Neil. Great to have you on

1440
01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:14,360
Speaker 1: the show.

1441
01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:17,640
Speaker 2: Brian, always great to spend my Wednesday morning with you.

1442
01:21:17,840 --> 01:21:19,639
Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's a really great thing to see

1443
01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:22,240
Speaker 1: this very well done survey survey and you can talk

1444
01:21:22,280 --> 01:21:26,719
Speaker 1: about it public opinion strategies and what the vast majority

1445
01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:29,160
Speaker 1: of people want, which confirms kind of a lot of

1446
01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:31,320
Speaker 1: what my political philosophy is, and it gives me kind

1447
01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:33,559
Speaker 1: of confidence and being on the side of what I

1448
01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:36,439
Speaker 1: think is right. We're talking cost of living, and we're

1449
01:21:36,439 --> 01:21:39,519
Speaker 1: talking about what voters believe about government and whether government

1450
01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:42,599
Speaker 1: is going to solve our problems, make things easier or harder.

1451
01:21:42,680 --> 01:21:45,599
Speaker 1: And bottom line is I like what I see if

1452
01:21:45,600 --> 01:21:48,360
Speaker 1: we can just translate these numbers into people waking up

1453
01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:51,720
Speaker 1: and realizing what they want is the antithesis of what

1454
01:21:51,760 --> 01:21:53,200
Speaker 1: the Democrats are offering.

1455
01:21:53,240 --> 01:21:58,080
Speaker 10: Donovan absolutely, And I think what you oftentimes find in

1456
01:21:58,160 --> 01:22:02,920
Speaker 10: midterm elections, midcycle littions, right, it supplies the Democrats and Republicans.

1457
01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:05,599
Speaker 10: Republicans are the ones doing it right now. They bunker

1458
01:22:05,720 --> 01:22:08,040
Speaker 10: down and get into a defensive posture and just try

1459
01:22:08,080 --> 01:22:10,559
Speaker 10: to you know, you get in that fetal position. You're

1460
01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:13,080
Speaker 10: just trying to take in coming fire and avoid you know,

1461
01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:16,639
Speaker 10: losing in November, minimizing your damages in November in an election.

1462
01:22:17,040 --> 01:22:19,679
Speaker 10: But what we're driving forward with the Supportability Agenda saying,

1463
01:22:19,720 --> 01:22:22,960
Speaker 10: here are the things the American people want, and while

1464
01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:26,479
Speaker 10: Republicans are still a control in Washington and voters are

1465
01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:28,920
Speaker 10: starting to tune in and pay attention to elections, these

1466
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 10: are the things we need to deliver on and they're

1467
01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:34,719
Speaker 10: simple stuff, Brian, Right, energy abundance to fuel the future.

1468
01:22:35,280 --> 01:22:39,479
Speaker 10: We're talking about empowering patients with their healthcare decision making

1469
01:22:39,520 --> 01:22:42,639
Speaker 10: off the system, reducing what it costs to rent by

1470
01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:45,280
Speaker 10: finance a home, by cutting red tape and regulations.

1471
01:22:45,800 --> 01:22:46,920
Speaker 2: And then, as you.

1472
01:22:46,840 --> 01:22:49,439
Speaker 10: Know myself and my wife with we got three kids

1473
01:22:49,439 --> 01:22:52,120
Speaker 10: and they're getting older, Brian, as you know this with

1474
01:22:52,160 --> 01:22:54,840
Speaker 10: your own children over the years, is food and groceries

1475
01:22:55,000 --> 01:22:57,160
Speaker 10: that don't cost your whole paycheck, especially when you have

1476
01:22:57,560 --> 01:23:01,320
Speaker 10: teenagers in your home consuming large amounts of food. These

1477
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:03,040
Speaker 10: are the things, right, we can get out there and

1478
01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:06,320
Speaker 10: get done that are big wins when it cut. You know,

1479
01:23:06,320 --> 01:23:09,280
Speaker 10: the pulling affirms that. So it's good policy equal in

1480
01:23:09,400 --> 01:23:12,120
Speaker 10: good politics. And we got the opportunity to get this

1481
01:23:12,120 --> 01:23:13,960
Speaker 10: stuff done if we just have the courage, right or

1482
01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:15,000
Speaker 10: all makers of the courage to do it.

1483
01:23:15,080 --> 01:23:15,720
Speaker 4: That's what we're gonna do it.

1484
01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:16,639
Speaker 10: I b We're gonna give them.

1485
01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:17,160
Speaker 2: The courage to do it.

1486
01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:19,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, no question about it. And not you know, everyday

1487
01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:23,559
Speaker 1: essential driving economic anxiety. I understand that utility is one

1488
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:25,840
Speaker 1: of them, you know, And that allows me to go

1489
01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:28,640
Speaker 1: back to the whole idea that green agenda is intentionally

1490
01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:31,200
Speaker 1: causing the price of everything to go up. It is

1491
01:23:31,240 --> 01:23:34,920
Speaker 1: a self inflicted wound. Compare California to say some you know,

1492
01:23:35,400 --> 01:23:38,240
Speaker 1: like like Texas or some other state that's got energy independence.

1493
01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:40,640
Speaker 1: I mean, things are terrible out there, all because of

1494
01:23:40,680 --> 01:23:43,600
Speaker 1: the regulatory environment, which people point to as well in

1495
01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:47,160
Speaker 1: your survey, voters believe the government action raises prices point

1496
01:23:47,200 --> 01:23:50,920
Speaker 1: of itch. They say government regulations specifically increased costs. Well,

1497
01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:52,679
Speaker 1: it's nice to know the people who took this survey

1498
01:23:52,760 --> 01:23:56,519
Speaker 1: are aware of that. I mean, this seems to me

1499
01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:59,320
Speaker 1: it's low hanging fruit. Are the Republicans missing out on

1500
01:23:59,400 --> 01:24:02,640
Speaker 1: a messaging opportunity? Because I have heard these things, and

1501
01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:05,679
Speaker 1: if this is what people truly believe, I just can't

1502
01:24:05,760 --> 01:24:07,680
Speaker 1: really quite fathom the whole idea that anybody to go

1503
01:24:07,760 --> 01:24:09,519
Speaker 1: out and vote for a Democrat if they're worried about

1504
01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:10,640
Speaker 1: the cost of living.

1505
01:24:12,320 --> 01:24:12,519
Speaker 5: Well.

1506
01:24:12,560 --> 01:24:13,840
Speaker 10: And it's one of the things that you know, we

1507
01:24:13,920 --> 01:24:16,799
Speaker 10: sort of took a look around the room at America's

1508
01:24:16,840 --> 01:24:20,960
Speaker 10: Prosperity and said, hey, you know, we're the president's talking

1509
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:23,200
Speaker 10: about these things in the state of the Union. You

1510
01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:26,240
Speaker 10: talk to an elected official or their staff and they're

1511
01:24:26,280 --> 01:24:30,679
Speaker 10: talking about these things. You talk to a voter, neighbor, friend, fellow,

1512
01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:33,880
Speaker 10: you know, citizen about these things and they're tuned in.

1513
01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:35,760
Speaker 10: But we've got to bring it all together. And that's

1514
01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:37,960
Speaker 10: what we can do at AFP right as a grassroots

1515
01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:41,280
Speaker 10: organization and the leading grassroots organizations. We've got to bring

1516
01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:44,080
Speaker 10: that package, that agenda together and then get out there

1517
01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:45,960
Speaker 10: and talk to our friends and neighbors about it. So

1518
01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:48,200
Speaker 10: that's what we're you know, that's why we were launching

1519
01:24:48,240 --> 01:24:51,720
Speaker 10: this with a multimillion dollar spend, is to take these

1520
01:24:51,720 --> 01:24:53,760
Speaker 10: spring and summer months to really go out there and

1521
01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:57,200
Speaker 10: hammer home what these solutions can be that are going

1522
01:24:57,280 --> 01:25:00,680
Speaker 10: to have an impact on the American people a positive way.

1523
01:25:00,720 --> 01:25:03,439
Speaker 10: It doesn't involve more government government intervention.

1524
01:25:03,760 --> 01:25:06,560
Speaker 1: Oh, let's pause. Bring Donovan Neil from Americans for Prosperity

1525
01:25:06,600 --> 01:25:08,599
Speaker 1: back probably have a call of action website. We can

1526
01:25:08,640 --> 01:25:14,479
Speaker 1: get this survey the talk station. It's seven fifty five

1527
01:25:14,520 --> 01:25:16,599
Speaker 1: car City Talk Station Brian Thomas with Donovan and Neil

1528
01:25:16,640 --> 01:25:20,240
Speaker 1: from Americans for Prosperity going through this affordability agenda for

1529
01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:24,200
Speaker 1: America and some outstanding points in the at least in

1530
01:25:24,320 --> 01:25:28,200
Speaker 1: terms of you identify first what people's largest concerns are.

1531
01:25:28,240 --> 01:25:30,439
Speaker 1: You get this comprehensive national poll. And of course you

1532
01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:33,800
Speaker 1: know affordability generally speaking is a problem, but broken down

1533
01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:40,599
Speaker 1: into subsets like energy, for example, and healthcare is another one.

1534
01:25:41,479 --> 01:25:44,320
Speaker 1: And this sounds like a wonderful idea. It's not like

1535
01:25:44,439 --> 01:25:46,320
Speaker 1: you guys came up with it, but the whole point.

1536
01:25:46,760 --> 01:25:48,679
Speaker 1: School choice is kind of gaining a lot of steam

1537
01:25:48,720 --> 01:25:50,680
Speaker 1: in this country. Donovan. I know you've noticed that more

1538
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:53,640
Speaker 1: and more states are allowing options for school choice. A

1539
01:25:53,720 --> 01:25:56,479
Speaker 1: lot of them may be allowing the money to flow

1540
01:25:56,640 --> 01:25:59,920
Speaker 1: to the family slash child as opposed directly to the schools.

1541
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:02,439
Speaker 1: I like that, And there may be a solution for

1542
01:26:02,560 --> 01:26:05,680
Speaker 1: lowering healthcare costs. Why not allow the Americans to have

1543
01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 1: control over the dollars so everything doesn't go directly to

1544
01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:11,000
Speaker 1: insurance companies get the money flow into the individual that

1545
01:26:11,080 --> 01:26:13,160
Speaker 1: gives them the choice of where they get their medical care,

1546
01:26:13,240 --> 01:26:15,719
Speaker 1: and that of course would result in more competition. Donovan.

1547
01:26:17,200 --> 01:26:17,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1548
01:26:17,640 --> 01:26:21,360
Speaker 10: In fact, ninety percent of healthcare spending flows through insurance

1549
01:26:21,439 --> 01:26:24,680
Speaker 10: companies or government programs. And you know, a lot of

1550
01:26:24,720 --> 01:26:29,040
Speaker 10: folks I think equate insurance, insurance equals healthcare. We know

1551
01:26:29,160 --> 01:26:32,519
Speaker 10: that's not true, right. Insurance just means you, you know,

1552
01:26:32,680 --> 01:26:35,599
Speaker 10: you pay a premium for the privilege to be able

1553
01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:38,040
Speaker 10: to go to a select sect section of you know,

1554
01:26:38,200 --> 01:26:41,040
Speaker 10: healthcare professionals, and then you got to kind of work.

1555
01:26:41,320 --> 01:26:42,639
Speaker 10: You don't know what you're going to end up paying

1556
01:26:42,640 --> 01:26:44,600
Speaker 10: at the end of the day, even with price transparency.

1557
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:47,640
Speaker 10: What we're advocating for is funding patients.

1558
01:26:47,320 --> 01:26:48,000
Speaker 6: Not insurers.

1559
01:26:48,120 --> 01:26:51,000
Speaker 10: Let folks have start to work to expand these health

1560
01:26:51,280 --> 01:26:55,679
Speaker 10: savings accounts. These are this existing policy, but we want.

1561
01:26:55,560 --> 01:26:56,080
Speaker 5: To expand it.

1562
01:26:56,120 --> 01:26:58,760
Speaker 10: We want to make it so that more folks have

1563
01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:02,600
Speaker 10: access to these programs. And with government subsidies, like you know,

1564
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:05,880
Speaker 10: we're a long way away, unfortunately, Brian, from ever cutting

1565
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:09,920
Speaker 10: or making strong substantial reforms to these government subsidy programs

1566
01:27:09,960 --> 01:27:14,360
Speaker 10: that are draining the American economy. But what we could do, right,

1567
01:27:14,479 --> 01:27:17,280
Speaker 10: is instead of funneling them over to the six largest

1568
01:27:17,400 --> 01:27:20,200
Speaker 10: health insurance companies, why not put that money in the

1569
01:27:20,280 --> 01:27:25,719
Speaker 10: hands of people through hsas who need that healthcare right, Medicaid,

1570
01:27:25,800 --> 01:27:29,120
Speaker 10: Medicare and let them make those decisions about their healthcare

1571
01:27:30,200 --> 01:27:32,280
Speaker 10: health care needs. What you do is you then begin

1572
01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:33,040
Speaker 10: to create a market.

1573
01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:33,360
Speaker 5: Right.

1574
01:27:33,520 --> 01:27:36,080
Speaker 10: You create some market, you create some competition. You have

1575
01:27:36,160 --> 01:27:39,439
Speaker 10: folks who understand what it costs to go do a

1576
01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:43,000
Speaker 10: doctor's visit. Maybe folks are a little more prudent about

1577
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:45,479
Speaker 10: when they're consuming that product. At the end of the day,

1578
01:27:45,920 --> 01:27:47,840
Speaker 10: it's a win win win, right. It's a win for

1579
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:51,439
Speaker 10: the American people with the growing debt burden that we

1580
01:27:51,520 --> 01:27:53,960
Speaker 10: have in this country. It's a win for the healthcare

1581
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:57,120
Speaker 10: professional because they're not stuck making decisions based on an

1582
01:27:57,160 --> 01:27:59,640
Speaker 10: insurance middleman. And it's a win most importantly for the

1583
01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:02,960
Speaker 10: healthcare consumer because now they're in the driver's seat. They're

1584
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:05,400
Speaker 10: not waiting to find out Blue Cross, Blue Shield or

1585
01:28:05,439 --> 01:28:08,600
Speaker 10: Anthem are going to approve their healthcare. They go and

1586
01:28:08,680 --> 01:28:11,240
Speaker 10: they have that decision making because of the Health Savings Account.

1587
01:28:11,280 --> 01:28:14,560
Speaker 10: It's phenomenal policy, and I think it puts Republicans. It

1588
01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:17,479
Speaker 10: gives Republicans an opportunity they really get out there and

1589
01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:20,439
Speaker 10: advocate for this stuff hard. The opportunity for the first

1590
01:28:20,479 --> 01:28:23,439
Speaker 10: time in what fifteen some years, to be in the

1591
01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:26,320
Speaker 10: driver's seat and win on healthcare policy in this country.

1592
01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:29,760
Speaker 1: Sounds like a great idea, what I mean? Donald and Neil. Also,

1593
01:28:30,240 --> 01:28:32,320
Speaker 1: you also point to another thing, a component of this,

1594
01:28:32,400 --> 01:28:35,280
Speaker 1: and I wrote down PBMs Pharmacy benefit managers and when

1595
01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:37,080
Speaker 1: that God in God's name, can we get rid of

1596
01:28:37,120 --> 01:28:40,960
Speaker 1: those allowed direct consumer sales of medical items, including prescription

1597
01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:46,559
Speaker 1: prescription drugs. So you're working directly with the manufacturer as

1598
01:28:46,560 --> 01:28:48,840
Speaker 1: opposed to dealing with like three layers of metal men,

1599
01:28:48,920 --> 01:28:49,920
Speaker 1: including the PBMs.

1600
01:28:51,320 --> 01:28:53,120
Speaker 10: Well, yeah, and I think in a lot of cases right,

1601
01:28:53,160 --> 01:28:57,719
Speaker 10: whether it's PBMs for so called price controls or direct

1602
01:28:57,880 --> 01:29:01,960
Speaker 10: to the medical the healthcare industry through you know, safety

1603
01:29:02,080 --> 01:29:04,519
Speaker 10: mechanisms that the FDA said that they need to have

1604
01:29:04,720 --> 01:29:07,200
Speaker 10: because you know, Brian, we can't trust consumers to make

1605
01:29:07,600 --> 01:29:10,320
Speaker 10: smart decisions here. We need a government bureaucrat in the

1606
01:29:10,400 --> 01:29:13,920
Speaker 10: middle of all of this. We can break down some

1607
01:29:14,040 --> 01:29:17,040
Speaker 10: of the red tape barriers and regulations that just artificially

1608
01:29:17,200 --> 01:29:20,080
Speaker 10: drive up the costs of health care. I was talking

1609
01:29:20,120 --> 01:29:22,479
Speaker 10: to a senator last night, actually a state senator last night,

1610
01:29:22,880 --> 01:29:26,160
Speaker 10: and a then Columbus who is looking at healthcare, and

1611
01:29:26,240 --> 01:29:29,280
Speaker 10: he's talked about how other countries. You know, We've got

1612
01:29:29,320 --> 01:29:32,040
Speaker 10: a phenomenal health care system in this country, right, no

1613
01:29:32,520 --> 01:29:36,360
Speaker 10: doubt about it. But the barriers to access to care,

1614
01:29:36,720 --> 01:29:38,840
Speaker 10: to being able to get that care that can maybe

1615
01:29:38,920 --> 01:29:42,280
Speaker 10: meet that need or fulfill his treatment. It's not available here,

1616
01:29:42,320 --> 01:29:44,280
Speaker 10: but it's available in other countries because they don't have

1617
01:29:44,360 --> 01:29:46,960
Speaker 10: the same bureaucratic red tape. Things are all messed up

1618
01:29:47,000 --> 01:29:50,519
Speaker 10: in healthcare. We have a really good system for business,

1619
01:29:50,640 --> 01:29:53,000
Speaker 10: a business model for healthcare in this country makes a

1620
01:29:53,080 --> 01:29:55,960
Speaker 10: lot of profit for the health insurance companies and the hospitals,

1621
01:29:56,439 --> 01:29:58,040
Speaker 10: but we don't have a good way to make it

1622
01:29:58,160 --> 01:30:01,759
Speaker 10: available to more people. It doesn't mean letting the government

1623
01:30:01,800 --> 01:30:04,120
Speaker 10: take control, by the way. It just means bringing the

1624
01:30:04,200 --> 01:30:06,640
Speaker 10: same market forces that have made this country great and

1625
01:30:06,720 --> 01:30:10,720
Speaker 10: create opportunity around the world. Bring the free market to it,

1626
01:30:10,840 --> 01:30:13,479
Speaker 10: allow competition, allow consumers to be in the driver's seat,

1627
01:30:13,640 --> 01:30:15,320
Speaker 10: not bureaucrats in middlemen.

1628
01:30:15,840 --> 01:30:18,160
Speaker 1: All right, Well, you also have some policy solutions for

1629
01:30:18,280 --> 01:30:21,280
Speaker 1: dealing with the cost of rent buying or financing a home,

1630
01:30:23,120 --> 01:30:25,920
Speaker 1: you deal with food and groceries, it shouldn't cost your

1631
01:30:25,960 --> 01:30:29,200
Speaker 1: whole paycheck. A whole lot of ideas and thoughts, agenda

1632
01:30:29,280 --> 01:30:32,080
Speaker 1: items from Americans for Prosperity and Donald, you know, I

1633
01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:33,680
Speaker 1: appreciate you bringing at least a lot of this to

1634
01:30:33,720 --> 01:30:36,240
Speaker 1: our attention this morning. Where do my listeners go to

1635

Speaker 1: word out on this? Or what do you need the

1638
01:30:42,560 --> 01:30:44,960
Speaker 1: listeners to do to the extent they have pretty much

1639
01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:46,880
Speaker 1: any free time, because I know you'll take as little

1640
01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:48,240
Speaker 1: or as much as people can offer.

01:32:16,720 --> 01:32:17,320
Speaker 1: a congressman.

1679
01:32:17,439 --> 01:32:17,559
Speaker 8: Right.

1680
01:32:18,160 --> 01:32:20,439
Speaker 12: You know, as I drove off my farm this morning

1681
01:32:20,520 --> 01:32:23,040
Speaker 12: in my f two fifty, I just looked at my

1682
01:32:23,160 --> 01:32:27,800
Speaker 12: cattle there loitering, enjoying the daylight savings, time or whatever

1683
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:28,960
Speaker 12: the do time change?

1684
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:32,080
Speaker 8: He is, Yeah, they're oblivious to it.

1685
01:32:33,080 --> 01:32:35,360
Speaker 1: Really, you know, I was joking about that the other day.

1686
01:32:35,360 --> 01:32:37,599
Speaker 1: You know, a farmer, Hell, they can get up whenever

1687
01:32:37,760 --> 01:32:40,280
Speaker 1: they want. And I think farmers are really in tune

1688
01:32:40,280 --> 01:32:42,840
Speaker 1: to what needs to be done regardless of the hour

1689
01:32:42,960 --> 01:32:45,479
Speaker 1: of the day, and that fake changes of time do

1690
01:32:45,640 --> 01:32:48,839
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing except frustrate the vast majority of Americans.

1691
01:32:49,160 --> 01:32:52,759
Speaker 12: Right, And my cattle were unfazed, though, I'm happy to report.

1692
01:32:52,880 --> 01:32:56,120
Speaker 12: But we should we should really just change it to

1693
01:32:56,200 --> 01:32:57,320
Speaker 12: one time and stick with it.

1694
01:32:57,520 --> 01:32:57,800
Speaker 6: Can we?

1695
01:32:58,560 --> 01:32:58,920
Speaker 10: We can?

1696
01:32:59,120 --> 01:33:00,160
Speaker 8: And you know I studied this.

1697
01:33:01,400 --> 01:33:05,799
Speaker 12: If you look at the Constitution, it says that Congress

1698
01:33:05,880 --> 01:33:10,519
Speaker 12: is responsible for setting the weights and measures, and one

1699
01:33:10,560 --> 01:33:13,439
Speaker 12: of those things is time. I mean, we we keep

1700
01:33:13,600 --> 01:33:17,200
Speaker 12: time at the National Institutes of Standards and Technology, which

1701
01:33:17,320 --> 01:33:19,880
Speaker 12: used to be called the Bureau of measurements or something,

1702
01:33:20,760 --> 01:33:26,240
Speaker 12: and it's a constitutional obligation of Congress to design what time,

1703
01:33:26,479 --> 01:33:27,439
Speaker 12: what time it is?

1704
01:33:27,840 --> 01:33:30,479
Speaker 1: Okay, then they can change it back. Just let's stick

1705
01:33:30,520 --> 01:33:32,439
Speaker 1: with it. Who is it out west? Is it Montana

1706
01:33:32,560 --> 01:33:36,160
Speaker 1: or something? There's a stay in Arizona, Arizona? Do they

1707
01:33:36,240 --> 01:33:37,880
Speaker 1: leave it a daylight savings time? To leave it at

1708
01:33:37,920 --> 01:33:38,760
Speaker 1: just a standard time?

1709
01:33:38,960 --> 01:33:40,400
Speaker 8: Standard time? Right now?

1710
01:33:40,600 --> 01:33:43,280
Speaker 12: The federal law allows you to leave it at standard

1711
01:33:43,360 --> 01:33:45,479
Speaker 12: time but not daylight saving time.

1712
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:48,200
Speaker 8: And some people get in the debate about which one

1713
01:33:48,320 --> 01:33:48,719
Speaker 8: is better.

1714
01:33:48,880 --> 01:33:51,880
Speaker 12: But again, you just you would adjust after a year,

1715
01:33:52,120 --> 01:33:55,840
Speaker 12: would and the schools could set their clocks based on whatever.

1716
01:33:56,800 --> 01:33:57,280
Speaker 8: Uh you know.

1717
01:33:57,360 --> 01:33:59,479
Speaker 12: I was in Arizona once I woke up and I

1718
01:33:59,520 --> 01:34:01,320
Speaker 12: had a plan to catch and I looked at my

1719
01:34:01,479 --> 01:34:03,360
Speaker 12: clock and the time had changed, and I was like,

1720
01:34:03,479 --> 01:34:06,160
Speaker 12: oh my gosh, I've missed this plane. But I'll go

1721
01:34:06,240 --> 01:34:08,800
Speaker 12: to the airport. Maybe the plane's delayed. I got to

1722
01:34:08,880 --> 01:34:11,599
Speaker 12: the airport and realized that Arizona doesn't do this stupid

1723
01:34:11,680 --> 01:34:13,360
Speaker 12: time change, and I made my plane.

1724
01:34:13,560 --> 01:34:14,560
Speaker 1: See it.

1725
01:34:14,960 --> 01:34:16,280
Speaker 8: We can even make your planes.

1726
01:34:16,439 --> 01:34:18,439
Speaker 1: Well, well, they can leave time alone, since they really

1727
01:34:18,479 --> 01:34:21,200
Speaker 1: don't have the magical power to actually literally move an

1728
01:34:21,240 --> 01:34:23,840
Speaker 1: hour away or give it or taketh away. Can while

1729
01:34:23,840 --> 01:34:25,200
Speaker 1: you're at it, can you get them to repeal the

1730
01:34:25,320 --> 01:34:27,920
Speaker 1: laws of physics, because apparently that's a real problem with

1731
01:34:28,040 --> 01:34:32,200
Speaker 1: cafe standards, those pesky physics laws. Congressman Thomas Massey any

1732
01:34:32,240 --> 01:34:35,400
Speaker 1: comment about Trump visiting the Northern Kentucky in Greater Cincinnati

1733
01:34:35,439 --> 01:34:36,960
Speaker 1: area today, Well.

1734
01:34:37,560 --> 01:34:40,040
Speaker 12: I'm glad he's visiting our area. I'm glad he's here

1735
01:34:40,240 --> 01:34:44,760
Speaker 12: at a logistics facility. You know, logistics are a big

1736
01:34:44,880 --> 01:34:47,880
Speaker 12: part of my congressional district, and that's why I'm on

1737
01:34:47,920 --> 01:34:49,320
Speaker 12: the Transportation committee.

1738
01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:53,320
Speaker 8: To keep the locks and dams, you know, full of.

1739
01:34:53,360 --> 01:34:57,160
Speaker 12: Water, to keep the airport working well, and to keep

1740
01:34:57,200 --> 01:34:58,200
Speaker 12: the interstates going.

1741
01:34:59,320 --> 01:35:00,320
Speaker 8: So I'm glad he here.

1742
01:35:00,680 --> 01:35:03,120
Speaker 12: I wonder if he'll talk about the fact that Diesel's

1743
01:35:03,120 --> 01:35:06,720
Speaker 12: gone up a dollar in two weeks. Yeah, and the

1744
01:35:06,840 --> 01:35:11,200
Speaker 12: tariffs are hitting some of those logistics companies that you

1745
01:35:11,320 --> 01:35:13,479
Speaker 12: know are importing and exporting things.

1746
01:35:14,200 --> 01:35:16,880
Speaker 1: Well, I guess it's a question whether anybody poses those

1747
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:18,559
Speaker 1: rather difficult and challenging auestions.

1748
01:35:19,080 --> 01:35:22,600
Speaker 12: True, I doubt he's going to be taking questions. I

1749
01:35:22,720 --> 01:35:25,840
Speaker 12: do suspect he will try to breathe some life into

1750
01:35:26,200 --> 01:35:28,759
Speaker 12: my opponent's lifeless campaign.

1751
01:35:28,880 --> 01:35:30,920
Speaker 1: Well he did. I'm glad you brought it up because

1752
01:35:31,160 --> 01:35:32,360
Speaker 1: that I was going to have to bring it up.

1753
01:35:32,360 --> 01:35:35,080
Speaker 1: He did endorse your opponent in the primary just yesterday.

1754
01:35:35,080 --> 01:35:36,559
Speaker 1: I believe he made a formal endorsement.

1755
01:35:36,880 --> 01:35:40,200
Speaker 12: Well that's that's a tweet from four or five months ago.

1756
01:35:40,320 --> 01:35:42,960
Speaker 12: He's endorsed my opponent with the same tweet three or

1757
01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:43,519
Speaker 12: four times.

1758
01:35:43,600 --> 01:35:45,400
Speaker 1: Oh, is that what happened? Because I thought he had

1759
01:35:45,439 --> 01:35:48,240
Speaker 1: done an endorsement before, because obviously he has been critical

1760
01:35:48,280 --> 01:35:51,160
Speaker 1: of you, Congressman Massey, who still believes in the Constitution.

1761
01:35:51,680 --> 01:35:54,720
Speaker 12: Well, listen, I've got the endorsement of Northern Kentucky Right

1762
01:35:54,800 --> 01:35:56,880
Speaker 12: to Life. I have the endorsement of gon Owners of

1763
01:35:57,040 --> 01:36:00,360
Speaker 12: America because I have an A plus rating, spent a

1764
01:36:00,479 --> 01:36:04,880
Speaker 12: national association for gun rights, and you know the people.

1765
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:05,639
Speaker 8: Here's the thing.

1766
01:36:05,840 --> 01:36:09,280
Speaker 12: If you look at the Cincinnati Inquirer this morning, at

1767
01:36:09,320 --> 01:36:13,719
Speaker 12: the cover of it, pretty interesting it says Massey or Trump,

1768
01:36:14,040 --> 01:36:16,800
Speaker 12: some Northern Kentucky Republicans choose both.

1769
01:36:18,280 --> 01:36:19,320
Speaker 8: And that's true.

1770
01:36:19,520 --> 01:36:22,479
Speaker 12: I'm not running against Donald Trump. I'm running against a

1771
01:36:22,600 --> 01:36:26,200
Speaker 12: nobody who lost a state Senate race that they you know,

1772
01:36:26,360 --> 01:36:27,000
Speaker 12: dusted off.

1773
01:36:28,080 --> 01:36:30,840
Speaker 8: Donald Trump says he came from central casting. I don't

1774
01:36:30,880 --> 01:36:32,680
Speaker 8: think that's that's a compliment.

1775
01:36:32,800 --> 01:36:37,320
Speaker 12: That's usually a pejorative, and he is a poser my opponent,

1776
01:36:37,800 --> 01:36:41,120
Speaker 12: and I don't think the world knew this until yesterday.

1777
01:36:41,560 --> 01:36:43,599
Speaker 12: We had to go down to Shelby County and get

1778
01:36:43,680 --> 01:36:47,200
Speaker 12: his voter registration cards. But my opponent left the Republican

1779
01:36:47,280 --> 01:36:52,200
Speaker 12: Party in May of twenty sixteen, as soon as Donald

1780
01:36:52,240 --> 01:36:57,360
Speaker 12: Trump secured the nomination for president. He left in discussed

1781
01:36:57,560 --> 01:37:00,479
Speaker 12: and stayed out of the party for five years. He

1782
01:37:00,680 --> 01:37:04,200
Speaker 12: only came back two days after his own state senator

1783
01:37:04,320 --> 01:37:07,400
Speaker 12: resigned because he wanted to use the party as a

1784
01:37:07,479 --> 01:37:09,960
Speaker 12: vehicle to get elected to the state Senate, even though

1785
01:37:10,000 --> 01:37:14,200
Speaker 12: he wasn't part of the party for five years, having

1786
01:37:14,280 --> 01:37:18,240
Speaker 12: been exiled himself in disgust over Donald Trump. He only

1787
01:37:18,320 --> 01:37:21,639
Speaker 12: came back after Joe Biden won president and beat Donald Trump,

1788
01:37:22,720 --> 01:37:25,640
Speaker 12: and he lost that state Senate race. And a lot

1789
01:37:25,680 --> 01:37:28,040
Speaker 12: of people don't know that. I suspect Donald Trump doesn't

1790
01:37:28,080 --> 01:37:30,759
Speaker 12: even know that he's endorsed an never Trumper.

1791
01:37:31,400 --> 01:37:35,040
Speaker 1: Well, you know, as my response to Judge Onopoltana's comment

1792
01:37:35,080 --> 01:37:37,639
Speaker 1: about the renewal of Section seven to two one FIZA,

1793
01:37:38,000 --> 01:37:40,280
Speaker 1: my response is because Trump previously said that would never

1794
01:37:40,400 --> 01:37:43,360
Speaker 1: do that because they spied on him. Using that, I said, well,

1795
01:37:43,680 --> 01:37:46,080
Speaker 1: political one to eighties are all the rage these days,

1796
01:37:46,120 --> 01:37:47,479
Speaker 1: so you got one more to add to the list.

1797
01:37:47,560 --> 01:37:49,160
Speaker 1: And it also allows me to pivot over to the

1798
01:37:49,240 --> 01:37:51,920
Speaker 1: renewal of Section seven ZHO two. Trump did say he wouldn't.

1799
01:37:51,920 --> 01:37:53,560
Speaker 1: Now he's pushing to have it renewed, and it's on

1800
01:37:53,720 --> 01:37:55,720
Speaker 1: fast track to get voted on really soon because it's

1801
01:37:55,760 --> 01:37:57,840
Speaker 1: going to expire, what in about a month from now

1802
01:37:57,920 --> 01:38:01,800
Speaker 1: or so. You're I think, I know your take on

1803
01:38:01,840 --> 01:38:04,559
Speaker 1: the renewal. Is it going to happen? I mean, are

1804
01:38:04,600 --> 01:38:06,800
Speaker 1: you at the foregone conclusion where the Fourth Amendment really

1805
01:38:06,960 --> 01:38:09,240
Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything? Congressom Massey, you know what.

1806
01:38:09,520 --> 01:38:12,040
Speaker 12: You could renew it with one sentence added to it,

1807
01:38:12,560 --> 01:38:15,040
Speaker 12: and I would vote for it, and the sentence would

1808
01:38:15,040 --> 01:38:16,040
Speaker 12: say get a warrant.

1809
01:38:16,479 --> 01:38:19,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's judicial warrant. That's the only problem.

1810
01:38:19,200 --> 01:38:23,680
Speaker 12: It's called FISET stands for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, and

1811
01:38:23,880 --> 01:38:26,479
Speaker 12: what they're doing is they're spying on Americans using the

1812
01:38:26,600 --> 01:38:30,720
Speaker 12: Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and the Constitution requires you to

1813
01:38:30,760 --> 01:38:33,760
Speaker 12: get a warrant, so that's all they gotta do.

1814
01:38:34,320 --> 01:38:36,320
Speaker 8: To fix that bill for me to vote for it.

1815
01:38:36,600 --> 01:38:38,879
Speaker 8: And you don't need a warrant to spy on foreigners.

1816
01:38:38,960 --> 01:38:40,960
Speaker 12: I'm not saying you need a warrant to spy on

1817
01:38:41,040 --> 01:38:45,200
Speaker 12: somebody who's overseas, not on American soil, or not an American.

1818
01:38:46,000 --> 01:38:49,720
Speaker 12: Just if you're going after an American who's overseas or

1819
01:38:49,800 --> 01:38:53,840
Speaker 12: somebody here on US soil, our constitution requires the Fourth

1820
01:38:53,880 --> 01:38:55,639
Speaker 12: Amendment requires to get a warrant well.

1821
01:38:55,680 --> 01:38:58,120
Speaker 1: Under seven oh two. Well beside the American who has

1822
01:38:58,160 --> 01:39:01,080
Speaker 1: a friend or business acquaintance in a foreign land, because

1823
01:39:01,080 --> 01:39:03,920
Speaker 1: communicating with that person opens up all of their records

1824
01:39:04,560 --> 01:39:07,719
Speaker 1: to government spying without a warrant. That's listen, that's crazy.

1825
01:39:08,280 --> 01:39:08,519
Speaker 8: Listen.

1826
01:39:08,680 --> 01:39:11,720
Speaker 12: If the Internet, if your email gets a route through

1827
01:39:11,840 --> 01:39:13,000
Speaker 12: Canada or.

1828
01:39:13,360 --> 01:39:15,680
Speaker 1: Somewhere else, Internet service provider.

1829
01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:16,479
Speaker 8: Yeah, it goes.

1830
01:39:17,040 --> 01:39:21,360
Speaker 12: This stuff goes all around the world, your datae IPN rather, yeah,

1831
01:39:21,439 --> 01:39:24,080
Speaker 12: it may be cheaper to store this stuff somewhere else

1832
01:39:24,200 --> 01:39:27,640
Speaker 12: in the world. And so if your provider does that,

1833
01:39:27,880 --> 01:39:31,120
Speaker 12: if your iCloud is somewhere else, I mean, nobody knows

1834
01:39:31,160 --> 01:39:32,599
Speaker 12: where their iCloud is, right.

1835
01:39:32,680 --> 01:39:34,439
Speaker 8: Right, that's the whole point of it.

1836
01:39:34,680 --> 01:39:37,920
Speaker 1: Fortuitous that your iCloud may exist in a foreign land

1837
01:39:37,960 --> 01:39:40,120
Speaker 1: without you knowing it, which opens up your records of

1838
01:39:40,160 --> 01:39:42,320
Speaker 1: being spied on by our government without a warrant. I

1839
01:39:42,479 --> 01:39:43,600
Speaker 1: just really can't believe we live in.

1840
01:39:43,640 --> 01:39:47,599
Speaker 12: This world and listen this this will go through my committee.

1841
01:39:47,920 --> 01:39:53,000
Speaker 12: Well it's it's got joint jurisdiction, and Jim Jordan and

1842
01:39:53,240 --> 01:39:57,400
Speaker 12: myself because Jordan's the chairman, we're always fighting to say, look,

1843
01:39:57,640 --> 01:40:03,200
Speaker 12: this is our jurisdiction because the other is the Intelligence Committee.

1844
01:40:03,760 --> 01:40:08,040
Speaker 12: Here's the problem they are. They have jurisdiction over things

1845
01:40:08,280 --> 01:40:13,080
Speaker 12: that the CIA and the NSA does the outwardly facing

1846
01:40:13,360 --> 01:40:17,840
Speaker 12: part of intelligence, and we have jurisdiction over FBI, the

1847
01:40:17,960 --> 01:40:22,040
Speaker 12: inwardly facing part of intelligence. And so the FISA bill

1848
01:40:22,800 --> 01:40:25,680
Speaker 12: is it's dual jurisdiction, but the parts that apply to

1849
01:40:25,760 --> 01:40:30,719
Speaker 12: Americans go through our committee. And last time the Speaker

1850
01:40:30,720 --> 01:40:34,080
Speaker 12: of the House tipped the scales, I mean it failed

1851
01:40:34,120 --> 01:40:37,599
Speaker 12: by one vote to fix FAISA. He tipped the scales

1852
01:40:38,120 --> 01:40:43,280
Speaker 12: and gave the base bill to the Intelligence Committee, which

1853
01:40:43,360 --> 01:40:43,719
Speaker 12: is wrong.

1854
01:40:44,680 --> 01:40:46,439
Speaker 1: Well, i'll tell you what We're at a break time.

1855
01:40:46,600 --> 01:40:49,080
Speaker 1: We're going to talk Warpowers Act. Is the clock ticking

1856
01:40:49,160 --> 01:40:51,200
Speaker 1: for the sixty day Provision of the War Powers Acts.

1857
01:40:51,439 --> 01:40:52,760
Speaker 8: See the talk station.

1858
01:40:55,439 --> 01:40:57,200
Speaker 1: Take nineteen fifty bock here see the talk tdation Brian

1859
01:40:57,240 --> 01:41:01,479
Speaker 1: Thomas and Congressan Thomas messee pivoting over congressmanssy Warpowers Act.

1860
01:41:01,600 --> 01:41:03,639
Speaker 1: And please feel free to correct meeting and to correct

1861
01:41:03,640 --> 01:41:06,120
Speaker 1: the record if I'm wrong. The clock I believe is

1862
01:41:06,160 --> 01:41:08,800
Speaker 1: ticking Donald Trump, he unifies Congress, he goes to war.

1863
01:41:09,640 --> 01:41:12,360
Speaker 1: There's no authorization for you some military force. There's no

1864
01:41:12,479 --> 01:41:16,320
Speaker 1: declaration of war. Both of those options passed on. So

1865
01:41:16,680 --> 01:41:18,040
Speaker 1: it seems to me like we're in a state of

1866
01:41:18,120 --> 01:41:21,439
Speaker 1: limbo here where the sixty day clock is ticking. And

1867
01:41:21,479 --> 01:41:23,960
Speaker 1: after sixty days, Donald Trump must withdraw the troops or

1868
01:41:24,040 --> 01:41:26,000
Speaker 1: get a thirty day extension to do that, which I

1869
01:41:26,080 --> 01:41:29,559
Speaker 1: presume will happen. So if this say, sixty to ninety

1870
01:41:29,600 --> 01:41:33,479
Speaker 1: day period passes with no additional Congressional action, does he

1871
01:41:33,600 --> 01:41:34,519
Speaker 1: have to pull the troops out?

1872
01:41:35,680 --> 01:41:39,200
Speaker 12: I believe he does under the War Powers Resolution of

1873
01:41:39,320 --> 01:41:40,320
Speaker 12: nineteen seventy three.

1874
01:41:41,479 --> 01:41:42,479
Speaker 8: That resolution is.

1875
01:41:42,479 --> 01:41:44,400
Speaker 1: Flawed by the way, it's unconstitutional.

1876
01:41:44,600 --> 01:41:47,080
Speaker 12: Right, he shouldn't be there at all right now, and

1877
01:41:47,200 --> 01:41:53,080
Speaker 12: so last week without congressional authorization. And let me tell

1878
01:41:53,120 --> 01:41:56,080
Speaker 12: you why this is important. You know, Congress does fund

1879
01:41:56,240 --> 01:42:00,439
Speaker 12: the war. Yeah, when we passed the National Defense Authorization Act,

1880
01:42:00,840 --> 01:42:05,439
Speaker 12: we're tacitly funding any and every war. The problem is,

1881
01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:12,640
Speaker 12: our troops deserve a debate among their representatives and you know,

1882
01:42:12,880 --> 01:42:16,280
Speaker 12: a set of goals and a mission that's accomplishable with

1883
01:42:16,479 --> 01:42:20,360
Speaker 12: rules of engagement that are reasonable. Right, don't tie their

1884
01:42:20,400 --> 01:42:23,800
Speaker 12: hands behind their back, give them a mission, and then

1885
01:42:24,080 --> 01:42:27,840
Speaker 12: once they achieve those objectives and milestones, let them come

1886
01:42:27,920 --> 01:42:31,800
Speaker 12: home instead of getting them drug into a twenty year,

1887
01:42:32,040 --> 01:42:35,320
Speaker 12: you know, two decade long war where you've got dads

1888
01:42:35,479 --> 01:42:39,200
Speaker 12: and sons who fought in the same war. And the

1889
01:42:39,280 --> 01:42:41,880
Speaker 12: way you avoid that is Congress has got a debate,

1890
01:42:42,000 --> 01:42:47,800
Speaker 12: set the parameters of it, geographically, temporarily, you know, things

1891
01:42:47,880 --> 01:42:50,360
Speaker 12: like that, and then let the president wage the war

1892
01:42:50,520 --> 01:42:56,960
Speaker 12: that's his authority. Put to introduce into hostilities requires Congress

1893
01:42:57,000 --> 01:43:01,400
Speaker 12: to act. So yeah, last week we I forced now

1894
01:43:01,479 --> 01:43:03,960
Speaker 12: there were other people obviously that forced us to a vote,

1895
01:43:04,000 --> 01:43:08,200
Speaker 12: but we forced Congress to debate for two hours, and

1896
01:43:08,360 --> 01:43:12,160
Speaker 12: they debated the resolution I wrote last summer, because it

1897
01:43:12,280 --> 01:43:15,880
Speaker 12: takes a while for such a resolution to ripen, and

1898
01:43:16,000 --> 01:43:18,800
Speaker 12: they had mine was already written from last summer, which

1899
01:43:18,880 --> 01:43:21,479
Speaker 12: we didn't force a vote on because he did withdrawal

1900
01:43:21,560 --> 01:43:25,360
Speaker 12: from hostilities almost as soon as it happened. And so

1901
01:43:25,680 --> 01:43:29,000
Speaker 12: we've debated my resolution for two hours last week.

1902
01:43:29,520 --> 01:43:31,160
Speaker 8: And it failed narrowly.

1903
01:43:31,320 --> 01:43:34,559
Speaker 12: But you're right, according to the War Powers Resolution, which

1904
01:43:34,600 --> 01:43:39,120
Speaker 12: itself is flawed, you know, the president's got to get

1905
01:43:39,320 --> 01:43:42,320
Speaker 12: a positive authorization of Congress. And by the way, not

1906
01:43:42,400 --> 01:43:45,759
Speaker 12: only is the Warpowers resolution of nineteen seventy three constitutionally flawed,

1907
01:43:46,240 --> 01:43:48,000
Speaker 12: it doesn't mean what it used to mean because there

1908
01:43:48,080 --> 01:43:52,320
Speaker 12: was a nineteen eighty three decision Chada versus Ions that

1909
01:43:52,520 --> 01:43:56,519
Speaker 12: said everything that a house in the Senate votes on

1910
01:43:56,640 --> 01:43:58,640
Speaker 12: that's going to be legally binding has to go to

1911
01:43:58,720 --> 01:44:01,280
Speaker 12: the president. So you can't have congressional vetos.

1912
01:44:01,960 --> 01:44:02,720
Speaker 8: So even if my.

1913
01:44:02,800 --> 01:44:05,000
Speaker 12: Resolution had passed last week, it would set up a

1914
01:44:05,040 --> 01:44:06,360
Speaker 12: constitutional question.

1915
01:44:07,600 --> 01:44:10,559
Speaker 1: Of whether you know, Donald Trump could veto it, Yeah,

1916
01:44:10,600 --> 01:44:10,960
Speaker 1: whether he.

1917
01:44:10,960 --> 01:44:13,160
Speaker 12: Could veto it or not, because when it was originally

1918
01:44:13,200 --> 01:44:17,120
Speaker 12: written they anticipated that he couldn't. And the right way

1919
01:44:17,160 --> 01:44:19,120
Speaker 12: I was telling my colleagues when we're on the floor,

1920
01:44:19,720 --> 01:44:21,960
Speaker 12: I said, the only right way to do this is

1921
01:44:22,040 --> 01:44:24,720
Speaker 12: for one of you all who believes we should be

1922
01:44:24,800 --> 01:44:28,479
Speaker 12: at war, to come down here with a with a

1923
01:44:28,960 --> 01:44:32,720
Speaker 12: declaration of war and then we debate that. Now, if

1924
01:44:32,760 --> 01:44:35,519
Speaker 12: I thought people would understand and I wouldn't get attacked

1925
01:44:35,560 --> 01:44:38,559
Speaker 12: on that, you're going, yeah, I would introduce the declaration

1926
01:44:38,680 --> 01:44:41,479
Speaker 12: of war myself and vote against it at the end

1927
01:44:41,520 --> 01:44:42,040
Speaker 12: of the debate.

1928
01:44:42,240 --> 01:44:45,000
Speaker 1: I understand that, understand that all right? When our limited time,

1929
01:44:45,040 --> 01:44:46,800
Speaker 1: and I don't mean to cut off that particular subject matter.

1930
01:44:46,840 --> 01:44:49,799
Speaker 1: But people are really puzzled about this one. You pointed

1931
01:44:49,840 --> 01:44:53,679
Speaker 1: out that Congress spent a combined roughly seventeen million dollars

1932
01:44:53,720 --> 01:44:57,599
Speaker 1: a taxpayer money to settle sexual harassment claims made against

1933
01:44:57,680 --> 01:45:01,280
Speaker 1: members of Congress, and there was to vote to maybe

1934
01:45:01,360 --> 01:45:03,599
Speaker 1: release all those documents, with three hundred and fifty seven

1935
01:45:03,640 --> 01:45:07,559
Speaker 1: Republicans and Democrats joined together bipartisan support to not allow

1936
01:45:07,640 --> 01:45:09,639
Speaker 1: us to have access to these documents. Can you explain

1937
01:45:09,720 --> 01:45:11,200
Speaker 1: this to my listeners Congress with massy.

1938
01:45:11,560 --> 01:45:13,720
Speaker 12: Yeah, they referred it to committee, and we know what

1939
01:45:13,880 --> 01:45:15,639
Speaker 12: that means, don't you die?

1940
01:45:15,800 --> 01:45:15,960
Speaker 6: Yes?

1941
01:45:16,040 --> 01:45:18,720
Speaker 12: Yeah, I was one of sixty five who voted to

1942
01:45:18,920 --> 01:45:21,920
Speaker 12: expose the members of Congress. By the way, that's taxpayer funds,

1943
01:45:22,040 --> 01:45:25,240
Speaker 12: that's out their campaign funds, that's not their private checks,

1944
01:45:25,320 --> 01:45:28,599
Speaker 12: that's taxpayer funds. And I exposed this slush fund two

1945
01:45:28,720 --> 01:45:32,519
Speaker 12: years ago in a hearing when the Democrats were trying

1946
01:45:32,600 --> 01:45:35,200
Speaker 12: to put Donald Trump in prison because he paid story

1947
01:45:35,240 --> 01:45:39,599
Speaker 12: being Daniels and didn't disclose it. And I said, wait,

1948
01:45:40,120 --> 01:45:42,160
Speaker 12: if you're going to start disclosing stuff, how about this

1949
01:45:42,240 --> 01:45:44,280
Speaker 12: slush fund. I bet there's some of you on this

1950
01:45:44,479 --> 01:45:47,519
Speaker 12: dais here who've used that slush fund. And they you

1951
01:45:47,560 --> 01:45:50,120
Speaker 12: could hear a pin drop right, yep. Well, it was

1952
01:45:50,240 --> 01:45:53,920
Speaker 12: last week. I worked with Nancy Mace again to force these.

1953
01:45:53,840 --> 01:45:55,519
Speaker 8: People to vote. They did not want to vote on this.

1954
01:45:56,280 --> 01:45:58,720
Speaker 8: And within Kentucky I can tell you.

1955
01:45:58,920 --> 01:46:01,160
Speaker 12: I can't tell you how High and Indiana had voted,

1956
01:46:01,520 --> 01:46:05,040
Speaker 12: but only myself and Jamie Comer voted to expose the

1957
01:46:05,120 --> 01:46:09,599
Speaker 12: slush fund. People like Andy Barr, and I'll call him

1958
01:46:09,640 --> 01:46:12,320
Speaker 12: out because he's going to be in my district this today.

1959
01:46:12,800 --> 01:46:16,000
Speaker 12: I assume with the President, people like Andy Barr voted

1960
01:46:16,040 --> 01:46:17,880
Speaker 12: to refer it to committee, which means to kill it.

1961
01:46:18,439 --> 01:46:21,400
Speaker 12: And there's a false narrative out there that says that, oh, well,

1962
01:46:21,479 --> 01:46:23,839
Speaker 12: this would have exposed the victim's information.

1963
01:46:24,080 --> 01:46:27,360
Speaker 8: No, that's read the bill. It's not a long bill.

1964
01:46:27,760 --> 01:46:29,720
Speaker 12: It says that you're going to redact all that, and

1965
01:46:29,760 --> 01:46:31,720
Speaker 12: you're only going to give out the congressman's names.

1966
01:46:31,720 --> 01:46:34,240
Speaker 1: Well, I guess the argument is that this happened is

1967
01:46:34,280 --> 01:46:39,000
Speaker 1: a consequence of there being a congress person, that this

1968
01:46:39,200 --> 01:46:41,280
Speaker 1: is connected to their job in some way, shape or form.

1969
01:46:41,360 --> 01:46:43,320
Speaker 1: Last time I checked, sexual harassment is not part of

1970
01:46:43,360 --> 01:46:45,960
Speaker 1: the job description for any description for any elected official.

1971
01:46:46,160 --> 01:46:47,800
Speaker 1: If they're going to settle something, it should have been

1972
01:46:47,840 --> 01:46:51,040
Speaker 1: on their dime. And I personally am insulted that they

1973
01:46:51,120 --> 01:46:55,080
Speaker 1: allocated these scar taxpayer resources to pay off their sexual

1974
01:46:55,120 --> 01:46:57,439
Speaker 1: harassment claims. Who among us has that luxury.

1975
01:46:57,840 --> 01:47:00,599
Speaker 12: Here's the other interesting thing. We're each give a budget

1976
01:47:00,680 --> 01:47:03,200
Speaker 12: to operate our office. It doesn't even come out of

1977
01:47:03,240 --> 01:47:05,840
Speaker 12: that budget. That's why we're calling it a slush fund.

1978
01:47:06,080 --> 01:47:08,240
Speaker 12: There's as much money there as you want, and it

1979
01:47:08,360 --> 01:47:12,479
Speaker 12: doesn't even cost you, you know, one office, you know,

1980
01:47:12,880 --> 01:47:15,599
Speaker 12: a ream of paper to pay one of these off.

1981
01:47:15,680 --> 01:47:17,879
Speaker 8: There's no trade off. It's terrible.

1982
01:47:18,520 --> 01:47:21,080
Speaker 12: The members of Congress who dip into this slush fund

1983
01:47:21,360 --> 01:47:24,920
Speaker 12: that's paid for by you need to be known. And

1984
01:47:25,160 --> 01:47:28,040
Speaker 12: we've got some issues right now in Congress. We've got

1985
01:47:28,080 --> 01:47:31,400
Speaker 12: a member of Congress who was caught having an affair

1986
01:47:31,560 --> 01:47:34,720
Speaker 12: with his staffer she later set herself.

1987
01:47:34,360 --> 01:47:35,800
Speaker 8: On fire and dies. I saw that.

1988
01:47:36,040 --> 01:47:37,080
Speaker 1: That is so horrific.

1989
01:47:37,280 --> 01:47:39,720
Speaker 12: And the Speaker of the House will not even call

1990
01:47:39,840 --> 01:47:43,160
Speaker 12: for him to step down or resign because the Speaker

1991
01:47:43,240 --> 01:47:48,000
Speaker 12: wants to keep the slim narrow majority. And the problem

1992
01:47:48,160 --> 01:47:50,120
Speaker 12: is if he does things like this, we're going to

1993
01:47:50,200 --> 01:47:53,000
Speaker 12: lose the majority in the midterms. Just like the Speaker

1994
01:47:53,120 --> 01:47:55,799
Speaker 12: was against releasing the Epstein files, and the Speaker himself

1995
01:47:55,920 --> 01:47:58,400
Speaker 12: voted against releasing this slush fund.

1996
01:47:59,120 --> 01:48:01,439
Speaker 1: So you can't call fromise on these kinds of values.

1997
01:48:01,479 --> 01:48:03,679
Speaker 1: It will come back to haunt you. Congressman Thomas Massey,

1998
01:48:03,720 --> 01:48:06,720
Speaker 1: I appreciate your being principled and true to the Constitution

1999
01:48:06,840 --> 01:48:08,519
Speaker 1: in spite of the fact that you do face the

2000
01:48:08,600 --> 01:48:10,519
Speaker 1: slings and arrows from folks who are looking for a

2001
01:48:10,600 --> 01:48:14,479
Speaker 1: more expedient path that doesn't involve Constitution. You're at least

2002
01:48:14,479 --> 01:48:16,320
Speaker 1: someone we can count on for that, and I appreciate

2003
01:48:16,360 --> 01:48:17,560
Speaker 1: you for it. And I appreciate you coming to the

2004
01:48:17,560 --> 01:48:19,439
Speaker 1: morning show and sharing your time with my listeners and me.

2005
01:48:20,080 --> 01:48:23,120
Speaker 12: Thanks, Brian. Remember you can support Donald Trump and vote

2006
01:48:23,160 --> 01:48:25,920
Speaker 12: for me. Most people are there. You go go wake

2007
01:48:25,960 --> 01:48:28,439
Speaker 12: your cows up. Yeah, on the time change, we'll talk

2008
01:48:28,479 --> 01:48:30,800
Speaker 12: again real soon. Congress of Massy and Judgment Polton is

2009
01:48:30,840 --> 01:48:31,200
Speaker 12: coming up.

2010
01:48:31,320 --> 01:48:35,400
Speaker 3: Huge fan of yours, Kemper blocked off between Columbia Parkway

2011
01:48:35,520 --> 01:48:39,559
Speaker 3: and Francis Lane, tree down across the roadway. With Saint

2013
01:48:42,920 --> 01:48:47,040
Speaker 3: recipe for corned beef and cabbage. Wash it down with

2014
01:48:47,120 --> 01:48:50,960
Speaker 3: a Gainnis the judges next Chuck Ingram on fifty five

2015
01:48:51,040 --> 01:48:52,439
Speaker 3: KR see the talk station.

2016
01:48:54,439 --> 01:48:57,360
Speaker 1: Hey thirty one. Yeah, that's a great Irish name, Napolitano.

2017
01:49:01,080 --> 01:49:04,080
Speaker 1: Everybody's Irish on Saint Patrick's Day. I happen to have

2018
01:49:04,160 --> 01:49:06,479
Speaker 1: a lot of Irish blood and me Judge Na Polatana,

2019
01:49:06,560 --> 01:49:09,519
Speaker 1: but we do not claim cultural appropriation when it comes

2020
01:49:09,520 --> 01:49:12,160
Speaker 1: to St Patrick's Day. We Irish. Everyone is invited to

2021
01:49:12,240 --> 01:49:14,639
Speaker 1: the fund. Welcome back, Judge Anna Paulatan. I love having

2022
01:49:14,680 --> 01:49:16,680
Speaker 1: you on the show, sir, especially on the heels of

2023
01:49:16,720 --> 01:49:20,120
Speaker 1: Congressman Thomas Massey, who also I got him to comment

2024
01:49:20,200 --> 01:49:24,000
Speaker 1: on the upcoming potential renewal FAIZA section seven oh two,

2025
01:49:24,000 --> 01:49:26,439
Speaker 1: which is a subject matter of your column which comes

2026
01:49:26,479 --> 01:49:28,960
Speaker 1: out tonight. I'm fortunate to get it early. Silent attacks

2027
01:49:29,000 --> 01:49:32,639
Speaker 1: on personal freedom, Judge Napolitano, I love that you started

2028
01:49:32,680 --> 01:49:35,280
Speaker 1: out with zero Click, which you can remind my listeners

2029
01:49:35,360 --> 01:49:37,680
Speaker 1: what it is because we've talked about it before. This

2030
01:49:37,920 --> 01:49:42,559
Speaker 1: nefarious Israeli created software zero Click, coupled with I'm boiling

2031
01:49:42,600 --> 01:49:45,280
Speaker 1: your article down, coupled with Section seven oh two means

2032
01:49:45,880 --> 01:49:48,439
Speaker 1: we no longer have a Fourth Amendment in our country.

2033
01:49:49,240 --> 01:49:51,400
Speaker 13: I'm sorry to say that I agree with you fully.

2034
01:49:51,600 --> 01:49:56,880
Speaker 13: Zero Click is a software which the FBI, without authorization,

2035
01:49:57,560 --> 01:50:02,600
Speaker 13: purchased during the first Trump administer The existence of this

2036
01:50:02,800 --> 01:50:08,679
Speaker 13: purchase became known during the Biden administration. Then the FBI

2037
01:50:08,840 --> 01:50:12,120
Speaker 13: Director Chris Ray was summoned before Congress. He insisted on

2038
01:50:12,240 --> 01:50:14,720
Speaker 13: meeting with them in secret. He did, and then some

2039
01:50:14,920 --> 01:50:17,040
Speaker 13: of them revealed what he said in secret, which is

2040
01:50:17,120 --> 01:50:21,280
Speaker 13: that the FBI did purchase it. He wants people to

2041
01:50:21,360 --> 01:50:23,679
Speaker 13: believe they didn't use it, that they bought it because

2042
01:50:23,680 --> 01:50:26,240
Speaker 13: they wanted to see how it worked. Now nobody believed that,

2043
01:50:27,280 --> 01:50:29,799
Speaker 13: But he said it was locked up in a warehouse

2044
01:50:29,880 --> 01:50:33,200
Speaker 13: in New Jersey. You can't make this up New Jersey,

2045
01:50:33,320 --> 01:50:36,240
Speaker 13: of all places. I say, nobody believed that. The President

2046
01:50:36,280 --> 01:50:39,080
Speaker 13: of the United States at the time, Joe Biden, didn't

2047
01:50:39,120 --> 01:50:43,480
Speaker 13: believe his own FBI director and he's issued an executive

2048
01:50:43,600 --> 01:50:47,160
Speaker 13: order prohibiting the use of zero click. So you know

2049
01:50:47,360 --> 01:50:53,880
Speaker 13: how when people are phishing or spamming and you get

2050
01:50:53,920 --> 01:50:56,240
Speaker 13: a crazy link saying click on this link and you'll

2051
01:50:56,280 --> 01:50:59,519
Speaker 13: make this money. Click on this link to security or

2052
01:51:00,320 --> 01:51:03,960
Speaker 13: internet usage, and you click on it, and bingo, a

2053
01:51:04,080 --> 01:51:10,680
Speaker 13: virus infects your contacts. Zero click allows the user of

2054
01:51:10,800 --> 01:51:15,280
Speaker 13: the product to gain access to the target the contents

2055
01:51:15,360 --> 01:51:21,080
Speaker 13: of the target's digital device without having to trick the

2056
01:51:21,240 --> 01:51:24,760
Speaker 13: target into clicking on the link. You just install it,

2057
01:51:25,439 --> 01:51:30,160
Speaker 13: and bingo, you've engaged in computer hacking on whomever you

2058
01:51:30,360 --> 01:51:32,680
Speaker 13: want to hack. Joe Biden prohibited its use.

2059
01:51:32,840 --> 01:51:34,280
Speaker 1: That's a crime, computer hacking.

2060
01:51:35,080 --> 01:51:40,599
Speaker 13: Correct, It's punishable by five years in jail per hack. Ooh,

2061
01:51:41,560 --> 01:51:46,840
Speaker 13: and the FBI aggressively prosecutes people for this, except when

2062
01:51:46,880 --> 01:51:51,519
Speaker 13: they do it. Because we learned this week that President

2063
01:51:51,720 --> 01:51:57,240
Speaker 13: Trump very quietly rescinded Joe Biden's executive order and a

2064
01:51:57,400 --> 01:51:59,880
Speaker 13: prohibiting the use of zero click. Now, this comes at

2065
01:52:00,080 --> 01:52:03,800
Speaker 13: the same time that the President announced one hundred and

2066
01:52:03,880 --> 01:52:08,160
Speaker 13: eighty degree change of heart, change of mind on Section

2067
01:52:08,360 --> 01:52:11,599
Speaker 13: seven O two of PISA seven or two of PISA

2068
01:52:11,840 --> 01:52:16,719
Speaker 13: allows American spies to spy on foreigners without a warrant.

2069
01:52:17,040 --> 01:52:19,640
Speaker 13: It also allows them to spy on the Americans with

2070
01:52:19,760 --> 01:52:23,320
Speaker 13: whom they speak without a warrant. It also allows them

2071
01:52:23,400 --> 01:52:26,639
Speaker 13: to spy on the persons to whom those Americans speak

2072
01:52:26,760 --> 01:52:28,840
Speaker 13: out to the sixth degree without a warrant.

2073
01:52:28,920 --> 01:52:29,880
Speaker 8: Now do the math.

2074
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:35,320
Speaker 13: This six degree grows exponentially. In twenty twenty three, they

2075
01:52:35,400 --> 01:52:39,040
Speaker 13: spied on three million Americans without a warrant because these

2076
01:52:39,080 --> 01:52:42,120
Speaker 13: Americans spoke to a foreign person. Could be an innocuous

2077
01:52:42,240 --> 01:52:46,280
Speaker 13: phone call, to a hotel, to a relative, to an

2078
01:52:46,439 --> 01:52:50,639
Speaker 13: art dealer. But once you make that communication phone call

2079
01:52:50,920 --> 01:52:54,960
Speaker 13: or text or email, all of the government gains in

2080
01:52:55,080 --> 01:52:57,600
Speaker 13: ability to spy in everything you do and everyone to

2081
01:52:57,680 --> 01:53:00,719
Speaker 13: whom you and your communicants speak out to this six degree.

2082
01:53:01,160 --> 01:53:01,800
Speaker 8: Do the math.

2083
01:53:02,400 --> 01:53:07,040
Speaker 13: The three million foreign views grow exponentially to three hundred

2084
01:53:07,080 --> 01:53:08,560
Speaker 13: and thirty million Americans.

2085
01:53:08,880 --> 01:53:09,920
Speaker 6: So seven oh two.

2086
01:53:10,120 --> 01:53:13,280
Speaker 13: Congressman Massey is one of the few members of Congress

2087
01:53:13,320 --> 01:53:19,760
Speaker 13: who knows this seven oh two allows American spies to

2088
01:53:19,960 --> 01:53:25,400
Speaker 13: spy on all Americans without a warrant. But if you

2089
01:53:25,560 --> 01:53:30,439
Speaker 13: give them zero click, they don't need seven oh two. No,

2090
01:53:30,680 --> 01:53:34,439
Speaker 13: they don't need Phiza phizus just a figley. Pizis just

2091
01:53:34,520 --> 01:53:37,560
Speaker 13: a charade. Look, we're going to the fies A court. Blooney,

2092
01:53:38,040 --> 01:53:40,040
Speaker 13: you're going to the phis A court to make yourself

2093
01:53:40,120 --> 01:53:44,680
Speaker 13: look legal. In reality, with zero click, you can download

2094
01:53:44,920 --> 01:53:49,759
Speaker 13: any computer, desktop, or mobile device at any time without

2095
01:53:49,800 --> 01:53:53,240
Speaker 13: a warrant, without suspicion, just because you want to.

2096
01:53:53,560 --> 01:53:55,759
Speaker 6: Well, thank you, thank you, Donald Trump.

2097
01:53:56,000 --> 01:53:57,840
Speaker 1: Well and the other well Donald Trump and a lot

2098
01:53:57,840 --> 01:53:59,920
Speaker 1: of members of Congress who voted for seven to two

2099
01:54:00,080 --> 01:54:03,240
Speaker 1: the first place. But Massy pointed out something that it

2100
01:54:03,360 --> 01:54:06,639
Speaker 1: never really cost my field of vision, at least conceptually speaking,

2101
01:54:06,680 --> 01:54:09,959
Speaker 1: in terms of FIZA and seven oh two. Your cloud

2102
01:54:10,200 --> 01:54:13,680
Speaker 1: information could be stored in a foreign land. You may

2103
01:54:13,760 --> 01:54:15,759
Speaker 1: not even know that. You could be using a VPN,

2104
01:54:15,880 --> 01:54:18,040
Speaker 1: which makes it appear as though and you are working

2105
01:54:18,160 --> 01:54:21,320
Speaker 1: through a computer outside of the United States, immediately subjecting

2106
01:54:21,360 --> 01:54:25,120
Speaker 1: you to automatic surveillance because it's a foreign nation which

2107
01:54:25,120 --> 01:54:27,679
Speaker 1: doesn't require a search warn here in the United States

2108
01:54:27,880 --> 01:54:31,320
Speaker 1: to spy on those records. I mean, the layers of

2109
01:54:31,360 --> 01:54:33,160
Speaker 1: this are crazy. I'm just I wonder how many times

2110
01:54:33,160 --> 01:54:35,880
Speaker 1: they've searched Kevin Bacon's records, considering we're all six degrees

2111
01:54:35,960 --> 01:54:38,600
Speaker 1: or seven degrees separated from Kevin Bacon. Your illustration of

2112
01:54:38,680 --> 01:54:42,880
Speaker 1: the of the six degrees out it fulfills that that point.

2113
01:54:43,080 --> 01:54:45,680
Speaker 1: Everyone is subject to a warrantless search.

2114
01:54:46,120 --> 01:54:48,560
Speaker 13: But to go back to what you said at the

2115
01:54:48,640 --> 01:54:54,720
Speaker 13: outset of our conversation, this is a mockery of the

2116
01:54:54,800 --> 01:54:59,120
Speaker 13: Fourth Amendment, the effectively the clause of the Fourth Amendment,

2117
01:54:59,640 --> 01:55:05,480
Speaker 13: which as the people shall be secure in their persons, houses, papers,

2118
01:55:05,640 --> 01:55:10,560
Speaker 13: and effects, and no warrant shall issue but on probable cause,

2119
01:55:10,640 --> 01:55:15,560
Speaker 13: which means probable cause of crime, crime sworn to under oath,

2120
01:55:16,000 --> 01:55:19,600
Speaker 13: and no warrant shall issue unless it specifically describes the

2121
01:55:19,760 --> 01:55:22,120
Speaker 13: places to be searched and the persons are things to

2122
01:55:22,240 --> 01:55:29,000
Speaker 13: be seized. This is just a mockery. Now Madison would

2123
01:55:29,080 --> 01:55:33,640
Speaker 13: be sending down thunderbolts from heaven if he could, if

2124
01:55:33,680 --> 01:55:37,320
Speaker 13: such a feature is available to him. Because we have

2125
01:55:37,560 --> 01:55:42,680
Speaker 13: no privacy any longer. Congress and a series of presidents

2126
01:55:42,720 --> 01:55:45,400
Speaker 13: are responsible for this. I'll tell you this story. I

2127
01:55:45,520 --> 01:55:47,640
Speaker 13: may have told it before if I have stopped me.

2128
01:55:48,760 --> 01:55:52,880
Speaker 13: When seven oh two was about to be reauthorized in

2129
01:55:53,160 --> 01:55:57,920
Speaker 13: twenty nineteen, I was one of the co hosts son

2130
01:55:58,040 --> 01:56:01,880
Speaker 13: Fox and Friends, looked into the camera said mister President,

2131
01:56:01,920 --> 01:56:06,440
Speaker 13: I think you're probably watching veto this extension.

2132
01:56:07,040 --> 01:56:09,160
Speaker 8: These are the powers that were used on you.

2133
01:56:09,480 --> 01:56:12,680
Speaker 13: You and I have discussed this, yes before you were president,

2134
01:56:12,800 --> 01:56:15,640
Speaker 13: and they're probably being used on you now. Ten minutes

2135
01:56:15,720 --> 01:56:18,640
Speaker 13: later on truth social or whatever it was called at

2136
01:56:18,680 --> 01:56:23,600
Speaker 13: the time, I'm vetoing seven ZH two. An hour later,

2137
01:56:24,600 --> 01:56:27,840
Speaker 13: Paul Ryan, then the Speaker of the House, Mitch McConnell,

2138
01:56:27,920 --> 01:56:31,720
Speaker 13: then the leader of the Republicans in the Senate, Mike Pence,

2139
01:56:31,800 --> 01:56:34,200
Speaker 13: then the Vice President of the United States, and a

2140
01:56:34,240 --> 01:56:37,800
Speaker 13: few others. Mark Meadows ran to the Oval offices.

2141
01:56:37,880 --> 01:56:38,400
Speaker 2: You can't do this.

2142
01:56:38,520 --> 01:56:39,200
Speaker 6: You can't do well.

2143
01:56:39,320 --> 01:56:42,280
Speaker 13: The judge says, it violates the Fourth Amendment. Oh, the

2144
01:56:42,480 --> 01:56:47,160
Speaker 13: judge thinks the Constitution means what it says. Said someone

2145
01:56:47,280 --> 01:56:50,520
Speaker 13: who is in the room to me, and then the

2146
01:56:50,640 --> 01:56:54,080
Speaker 13: President sends a message to me through this same person.

2147
01:56:54,160 --> 01:56:55,680
Speaker 13: I can't tell you who it was who was in

2148
01:56:55,800 --> 01:56:59,080
Speaker 13: the room. Sorry, judge, they twisted my arm.

2149
01:57:00,480 --> 01:57:05,240
Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, this is reprehensible.

2150
01:57:06,320 --> 01:57:09,120
Speaker 6: Where we are in this, Brian.

2151
01:57:09,600 --> 01:57:14,080
Speaker 13: The only saving grace is that most federal judges would

2152
01:57:14,160 --> 01:57:17,960
Speaker 13: not allow anything gathered in this way to be used

2153
01:57:19,000 --> 01:57:21,760
Speaker 13: in a federal court. But the Feds are very very

2154
01:57:21,840 --> 01:57:25,640
Speaker 13: adept at disguising how they've got how they've their initial

2155
01:57:25,760 --> 01:57:27,360
Speaker 13: acquisition of this data.

2156
01:57:27,520 --> 01:57:29,520
Speaker 1: And of course in my reply to you, I said,

2157
01:57:29,560 --> 01:57:32,760
Speaker 1: now I'm off in search of someone with standing who

2158
01:57:32,840 --> 01:57:35,680
Speaker 1: can challenge this in court. And the reason we don't

2159
01:57:35,680 --> 01:57:38,520
Speaker 1: have standings because they don't bother using the evidence they gather,

2160
01:57:38,600 --> 01:57:40,680
Speaker 1: because they know damn well if they go, if you

2161
01:57:40,760 --> 01:57:42,600
Speaker 1: go into court on a motion to quash emotion to

2162
01:57:42,640 --> 01:57:45,120
Speaker 1: suppress evidence, all of this comes out and a court

2163
01:57:45,280 --> 01:57:48,400
Speaker 1: rules the entire concept to be unconstitutional. We just can't

2164
01:57:48,400 --> 01:57:49,120
Speaker 1: get into court on.

2165
01:57:49,160 --> 01:57:51,080
Speaker 11: It, right right.

2166
01:57:52,320 --> 01:57:54,920
Speaker 13: Oh well, now, Brian, before we go, I have to

2167
01:57:55,000 --> 01:57:59,160
Speaker 13: congratulate you on making the Barretton Media top ten mid

2168
01:57:59,280 --> 01:58:04,560
Speaker 13: size Market. What a beautiful, beautiful, touching article that was.

2169
01:58:04,640 --> 01:58:09,600
Speaker 13: As somebody that knows you well, that article captures your

2170
01:58:09,760 --> 01:58:13,400
Speaker 13: personality and your humility at your success.

2171
01:58:13,840 --> 01:58:15,280
Speaker 6: I could on my.

2172
01:58:15,440 --> 01:58:17,880
Speaker 1: Arms, br I appreciate that from the bottom of my heart.

2173
01:58:17,920 --> 01:58:20,000
Speaker 1: And I wasn't really doing it to toot my own

2174
01:58:20,000 --> 01:58:21,720
Speaker 1: horn and forwarding it to you. I just kind of

2175
01:58:22,600 --> 01:58:24,960
Speaker 1: it's because of guests like you, I think that I

2176
01:58:25,080 --> 01:58:27,240
Speaker 1: have gained that much popularity that I am in the

2177
01:58:27,280 --> 01:58:29,800
Speaker 1: top ten on the mid market stations in this nation.

2178
01:58:30,000 --> 01:58:32,120
Speaker 1: And you know it's folks like you who keep the

2179
01:58:32,200 --> 01:58:35,840
Speaker 1: content great and interesting and keep the intellectual juices flowing

2180
01:58:35,920 --> 01:58:38,440
Speaker 1: and put people in a hard position. Do you support

2181
01:58:38,480 --> 01:58:41,440
Speaker 1: the Constitution or do you support this expedient road we're

2182
01:58:41,480 --> 01:58:43,200
Speaker 1: going down to? And you and I usually end up

2183
01:58:43,200 --> 01:58:44,040
Speaker 1: playing the same place.

2184
01:58:44,160 --> 01:58:49,400
Speaker 13: I appreciate what you say. I am acutely aware of

2185
01:58:49,640 --> 01:58:54,160
Speaker 13: the Brian Thomas fans whom I rubbed the wrong way,

2186
01:58:54,280 --> 01:58:55,280
Speaker 13: because some of.

2187
01:58:55,280 --> 01:58:58,800
Speaker 1: Them tell me how good I'm glad they reach out.

2188
01:58:58,680 --> 01:58:59,320
Speaker 6: To you less.

2189
01:58:59,360 --> 01:59:02,560
Speaker 13: As long as we can make people think we are

2190
01:59:02,680 --> 01:59:03,680
Speaker 13: serving our purpose.

2191
01:59:04,000 --> 01:59:06,280
Speaker 1: Amen, brother, And that's one of the reasons I love

2192
01:59:06,320 --> 01:59:08,320
Speaker 1: you so much. You know you're always welcome here, sir.

2193
01:59:08,400 --> 01:59:11,600

2194
01:59:11,640 --> 01:59:14,440
Speaker 1: in these important conversations and getting people thinking about it.

2195
01:59:14,840 --> 01:59:16,600

2221
02:00:23,640 --> 02:00:26,040
Speaker 1: you're doing over at the Times. It's an outstanding source

2222
02:00:26,080 --> 02:00:27,920
Speaker 1: of information, one of the sites that I do rely

2223
02:00:28,080 --> 02:00:30,040
Speaker 1: on for preparation of the fifty five Ksey Morning Show.

2224
02:00:30,080 --> 02:00:32,960
Speaker 1: I'm appreciative of you being there, and I love the

2225
02:00:33,040 --> 02:00:35,720
Speaker 1: fact that you're doing a seminar on the fraud in Minnesota,

2226
02:00:36,200 --> 02:00:38,480
Speaker 1: just the tip of the fraud iceberg in this country

2227
02:00:38,520 --> 02:00:43,080
Speaker 1: when you consider literally billions and billions of dollars in fraud,

2228
02:00:43,160 --> 02:00:46,920
Speaker 1: waste and abuse in one city. One And as I

2229
02:00:46,960 --> 02:00:49,600
Speaker 1: wake up this morning, I read the CBS news account

2230
02:00:49,600 --> 02:00:53,400
Speaker 1: They're looking at hospices out in California at Los Angeles County,

2231
02:00:53,800 --> 02:00:57,640
Speaker 1: another hotbed of obvious fraud. Are we ever going to

2232
02:00:57,680 --> 02:00:59,840
Speaker 1: get to the bottom of this anyway? Pivoting over to Minnesota,

2233
02:01:01,720 --> 02:01:05,560
Speaker 1: it's incomprehensible. And what I learned about this, and correct

2234
02:01:05,560 --> 02:01:09,600
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong, janis the estate officials were painfully

2235
02:01:09,720 --> 02:01:12,120
Speaker 1: aware of this fraud going on and yet did nothing

2236
02:01:12,240 --> 02:01:14,040
Speaker 1: to stop it when they knew what was going on.

2237
02:01:14,200 --> 02:01:16,600
Speaker 1: It's they either enabled it or they were benefiting from it.

2238
02:01:16,680 --> 02:01:18,200
Speaker 1: I can't come out any conclusion yet.

2239
02:01:18,280 --> 02:01:22,560
Speaker 9: We know that was precisely the topic of a hearing

2240
02:01:22,680 --> 02:01:27,960
Speaker 9: that I covered. The Oversight Committee recently had both Governor

2241
02:01:28,080 --> 02:01:32,240
Speaker 9: Tim Wallas and the Attorney General Keith Ellison in there

2242
02:01:32,320 --> 02:01:36,160
Speaker 9: for testimony, and they were confronting with the finds that

2243
02:01:36,280 --> 02:01:39,800
Speaker 9: they had by doing many many plants, sitting over thirty

2244
02:01:39,920 --> 02:01:43,600
Speaker 9: whistleblowers who worked for garment agencies in Minnesota, and they

2245
02:01:43,640 --> 02:01:46,720
Speaker 9: were like, look, you know, for example, you knew they

2246
02:01:46,800 --> 02:01:53,160
Speaker 9: told governor in twenty twenty about concerned one specific organization,

2247
02:01:53,520 --> 02:01:57,680
Speaker 9: yet you didn't stop the payments. Why And then they

2248
02:01:57,720 --> 02:02:01,840
Speaker 9: also confronted him our own Jim Georgian, another representative, He said,

2249
02:02:02,640 --> 02:02:05,680
Speaker 9: why didn't you tell the truth him Wals when when

2250
02:02:06,040 --> 02:02:10,600
Speaker 9: he the public Walls did and said, uh, we restarted

2251
02:02:11,040 --> 02:02:16,160
Speaker 9: imminent to that same organization because the judge made us.

2252
02:02:16,680 --> 02:02:20,520
Speaker 9: But that judge had actually issued a rare public teatment

2253
02:02:20,880 --> 02:02:24,120
Speaker 9: it's still available on I from twenty twenty two saying

2254
02:02:24,920 --> 02:02:28,080
Speaker 9: I never issued such an order and reporting this.

2255
02:02:28,400 --> 02:02:29,600
Speaker 1: Judges never do that.

2256
02:02:31,240 --> 02:02:32,360
Speaker 10: It was very rare.

2257
02:02:32,560 --> 02:02:34,600
Speaker 9: And that was a moment during the hearing for sure,

2258
02:02:34,720 --> 02:02:37,080
Speaker 9: when Jim Jordan said why didn't you tell the truth,

2259
02:02:37,360 --> 02:02:42,280
Speaker 9: and Walt's response he said, uh, well the agency believed

2260
02:02:42,720 --> 02:02:47,400
Speaker 9: that's what the court said, Thanks so, But most of

2261
02:02:47,560 --> 02:02:50,840
Speaker 9: this whole thing go so deep. And that was one

2262
02:02:50,880 --> 02:02:53,240
Speaker 9: of the biggest things that I tried to figure out.

2263
02:02:53,320 --> 02:02:56,560
Speaker 9: I've been to this Minnesota on reporting trips more times

2264
02:02:56,600 --> 02:02:59,320
Speaker 9: than I teared up. Now, I would have joked that

2265
02:02:59,360 --> 02:03:01,400
Speaker 9: I should set up like a pup tent and stay

2266
02:03:01,440 --> 02:03:03,800
Speaker 9: there with with the ice protesters. I don't know, but

2267
02:03:05,520 --> 02:03:08,680
Speaker 9: it might be a little dangerous. But so here is

2268
02:03:08,760 --> 02:03:10,040
Speaker 9: one of the things that I think a lot of

2269
02:03:10,040 --> 02:03:13,560
Speaker 9: people don't realize. I was asking myself, you know, yes,

2270
02:03:13,640 --> 02:03:15,800
Speaker 9: with just a fraud and a lot of other places,

2271
02:03:15,880 --> 02:03:19,160
Speaker 9: it's pretty much if you've got program, people got a

2272
02:03:19,240 --> 02:03:22,400
Speaker 9: way to work. This is But is it Is it

2273
02:03:22,520 --> 02:03:25,200
Speaker 9: worse in Minnesota. I'm not sure on that one, But

2274
02:03:25,320 --> 02:03:28,200
Speaker 9: I wanted to know, is there a climate? Is there

2275
02:03:28,240 --> 02:03:32,640
Speaker 9: an attitude here? Is there a cultural kind of factor

2276
02:03:32,840 --> 02:03:37,440
Speaker 9: that that is making Minnesota fertile ground for fraud? And

2277
02:03:37,920 --> 02:03:42,040
Speaker 9: when I came to realize through wording, was there is

2278
02:03:42,080 --> 02:03:46,080
Speaker 9: an agate Minnesota and Ice and that attitude has to

2279
02:03:46,200 --> 02:03:50,880
Speaker 9: deal with particularly the people who came to Minnesota came

2280
02:03:50,960 --> 02:03:57,720
Speaker 9: from like Norwegian Ante in those yes, Scandinavia and in

2281
02:03:57,840 --> 02:04:01,000
Speaker 9: those countries, if you do not help your neighbor, you

2282
02:04:01,120 --> 02:04:03,760
Speaker 9: may die in the cold and things like that, and

2283
02:04:03,880 --> 02:04:08,600
Speaker 9: so that whole mentality really went on steroids that they

2284
02:04:08,840 --> 02:04:13,120
Speaker 9: have some of the most generous social programs in the country,

2285
02:04:13,360 --> 02:04:16,520
Speaker 9: but that means guess what everybody's paid. And then they

2286
02:04:16,560 --> 02:04:18,600
Speaker 9: have an attitude, well, we're not going to ask you

2287
02:04:18,760 --> 02:04:21,920
Speaker 9: why you need help, because that's too embarrassing. We don't

2288
02:04:21,920 --> 02:04:24,160
Speaker 9: want to offend you. And oh, by the way, we're

2289
02:04:24,240 --> 02:04:28,160
Speaker 9: also the people who offer to provide that help also

2290
02:04:28,280 --> 02:04:31,960
Speaker 9: aren't questioned because oh, that's insulting. They want to help,

2291
02:04:32,040 --> 02:04:34,280
Speaker 9: we should just accept. And so you know when a

2292
02:04:34,320 --> 02:04:38,240
Speaker 9: company comes forward to non supposedly and quotes air quotes

2293
02:04:38,480 --> 02:04:41,800
Speaker 9: comes forward and says, I would like to provide these services, sure,

2294
02:04:42,240 --> 02:04:44,480
Speaker 9: and then they don't get asked that many questions, and

2295
02:04:44,840 --> 02:04:47,400
Speaker 9: people who try to quote unquote youth services.

2296
02:04:47,120 --> 02:04:47,560
Speaker 2: Same thing.

2297
02:04:48,080 --> 02:04:51,120
Speaker 9: So that is one component of this. Once again, I

2298
02:04:51,200 --> 02:04:54,960
Speaker 9: do not know for certain whether per capita Minnesota has

2299
02:04:55,000 --> 02:04:57,120
Speaker 9: it worse than other places, because a lot of this

2300
02:04:57,240 --> 02:05:00,320
Speaker 9: information is still emerging. But if I were a bet woman,

2301
02:05:00,440 --> 02:05:03,600
Speaker 9: I would say that yes, it either is the worst

2302
02:05:03,640 --> 02:05:06,520
Speaker 9: in the nation in terms of per capita or it would.

2303
02:05:06,320 --> 02:05:08,560
Speaker 1: Rank right up there, well, ranking right up there. That

2304
02:05:08,680 --> 02:05:11,600
Speaker 1: this can even happen, This is American taxpayer dollars. I

2305
02:05:11,640 --> 02:05:16,000
Speaker 1: always like to point this out, Janis Heidel, Republicans, Democrats, Independence,

2306
02:05:16,040 --> 02:05:18,920
Speaker 1: Communist Marxists. If they're working and they're paying taxes, their

2307
02:05:19,000 --> 02:05:21,800
Speaker 1: money has been stolen. So this should be a bipartisan

2308
02:05:22,320 --> 02:05:25,880
Speaker 1: outrage and revolved and demand to get this out of

2309
02:05:26,040 --> 02:05:28,800
Speaker 1: the system. Fraud, wasting, abuse is a problem. We've got

2310
02:05:28,920 --> 02:05:32,000
Speaker 1: national debt, We've got money issues in this country. And hey,

2311
02:05:32,280 --> 02:05:34,160
Speaker 1: if we just start here, this seems to be low

Speaker 1: hanging fruit. Janice Heidel's doing this seminar. It's tomorrow night
