00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,640

34
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: politician that actually did talk to the media. Conservatives failing

35
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: to show up for the support Ice rally, didn't even

36
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: realize there was a support ICE rally. Tom's going to

37
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: talk about that. Fast forward eight oh five Inside Scoop

38
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: with Bright Bart News Today, Economics editor John Carney the

39
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: economic impact of the war in Iran. Oh my god,

40
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: we're all gonna die. I don't mean literally, I just

41
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: mean this whole reaction to the price of oil going up,

42
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: which you have a couple of words on here in

43
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,839
Speaker 1: a moment that Daniel Davis deep die retired Lieutenant Colonel

44
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: Daniel Davis at eight thirty on Yes, Iran. All right,

45
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's coming tomorrow real quick. This pivots over to

46
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: my my state of awe and disbelief over the concerns

47
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: of November election because the price of gasoline's going up.

48
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: Some hold on, So Trump's showing up. I'll try to

49
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: relate all this Thermo Fisher's scientific and reading. That's one

50
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: visit'spector talked about Trump RX dot gov. Then he's going

51
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: to head over to our friends in northern Kentucky, the

52
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: Verist Logistics contract packaging facility in Hebrew inspected to go

53
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: there to talk about the economy. I think one pm

54
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: for that, no, no start time for Thermo Fisher that

55
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: I can find anyway. I think for Sex City reasons,

56
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: they try to keep that on the DL anyway. But

57
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: in response to Donald Trump coming into the neighborhood. Let's

58
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: pivot over to the High Democratic Party, which had their

59
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: spokesperson Chair Kathleen Clyde, addressing Donald Trump coming into the neighborhood.

60
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: From gas prices to energy bills, the cost of healthcare,

61
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: the White House and their allies in Congress and Columbus

62
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: have not only failed to lower prices, they're actually making

63
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: things worse. Okay, well, you know what opinions you're like,

64
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: we all have them sphincters. Gas prices, energy bills, cost

65
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: the health care hmm, trifecta fun all laying at the

66
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: feet of the Democrats for making everything's that much worse

67
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: gas prices and energy bills. Who's pursuing the green agenda? Right?

68
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: The Democrats? They wanted, they professed, and they said out

69
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: loud all along, this is gonna get more expensive. It's intentional.

70
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: We're shutting down powerful facilities, like energy production facilities that

71
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: generate power twenty four to seven y carbon dioxide. You're

72
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: gonna get a windmill in a solar panel. There sucks

73
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: to be you reducing the amount of abundant energy and

74
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: the available energy intentionally to make life miserable for us,

75
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: or at least it does how come we're not going

76
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: to November elections with Democrats scared as they can possibly

77
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: be because they did this to us intentionally cost the

78
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: healthcare Obamacare. How's the premium going on that? How's your

79
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: out of pocket responsibility and liability? Right? Ten five hundred

80
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: dollars per individual out of pocket before the insurance kicks

81
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: in with the premium that's already gone up. Oh my god.

82
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: And then if you have a family lo and behold

83
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: twenty thousand dollars out of pocket responsibility? Is that medical insurance?

84
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: Is it affordable? I think not? So. With that background,

85
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: got a couple of op ed pieces combined. I just

86
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: pulled a few fun facts out of them over the journal.

87
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: Iran isn't winning this war, but it might if the

88
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: US stops the bombing due to higher oil prices. Yeah,

89
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: that's what everybody's gotten excited about. Oh my god, straight

90
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: to horror, Moove shutdown. This is happen before. We have

91
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: seen the price spike as a consequence of war going

92
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: on over there. We saw the price of gas spike

93
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: as a consequence of Russia invading Ukraine. We weathered those storms.

94
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: You'd think is it time for President Trump to call

95
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: off the bombing and declare victory in Iran. You'd think so,

96
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: judging by the panic in Washington as the price of

97
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: oil spikes, and of course the Iranian strategy. Can it

98
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: do enough damage to the global energy markets to get

99
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: US and the Israelis to stop bobbing them into submission

100
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: so they can keep their regime. Maybe if people get

101
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: cold feet. Now, the price of oil did drop from

102
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: its just momentary spike about one and ten hundred and

103
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: fifteen yesterday, because it appears that the problem this is

104
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 1: going to get resolved sooner rather than later, and of

105
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: course the disruption will stop when the war does. Trump

106
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: called a small price to pay for major security advances,

107
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: and of course we've weathered worse the twenty twenty two

108
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,679
Speaker 1: evasion of Ukraine. Price of oil one hundred and forty

109
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: three barrel hmm, remember that in twenty eight it was

110
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 1: at twenty seventeen h and A point out that this

111
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: clamoring to end the war is probably going to increase

112
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: because well, Republicans also joining in the concern over the

113
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: fear of gasoline prices going in November, so worried that

114
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: we might stop prematurely cries from Chuck Schumer and others

115
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: to release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Chuck Schumer

116
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: who blocked Donald Trump from refilling it after Joe Biden

117
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: drew down more than two hundred and fifty million barrels

118
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: from it. We wanted to refill it at twenty nine dollars.

119
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: Donald Trump wanted to tap into the three billion dollar

120
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen stimulus money to refill the petroleum reserve. Nope,

121
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: we're not doing it because Chucky Schumer claimed it would

122
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: be a ballout for the oil industry. Yeah, well, now

123
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: price of oil is ninety to one hundred dollars a barrel, Chucky,

124
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: how about refilling it. It's down to about four hundred million.

125
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: It has a capability of seven hundred plus million barrels.

126
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: You need it for strategic reasons. Joe Biden tapped it

127
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: to lower gas prices because well of politics. Huh, the

128
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: same people who want you to have to spend a

129
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: whole hell of a lot more money for the price

130
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: of gasoline. Again, the off repeated quote from Barack Obama. Yes,

131
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: the price of gasoline will necessarily increase. Now, let's pivot

132
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: over to New York, where you have an actual, real

133
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: life scenario unfolding, and it's hard for It's politically hard

134
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: for Democrats. Governor Hockel trying to unring the bell of

135
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen Climate Act, which requires New York to

136
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: cut greenhouse gas emissions by about one quarter from that

137
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: from that year's twenty nineteen levels by twenty thirty and

138
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: ultimately remove it. How's that going for him? It's not

139
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: The law is on the books. Hokel cannot persuade the

140
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: green the Democrats in all the need to change the law,

141
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: and it's bringing about steep electric bills, saddling the state

142
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: with three relatably distinct problems. Threats to the grid reliability,

143
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: rising electric bills, and a looming surge in fuel prices

144
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: because of the war in Iran. No, because of the

145
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: law they passed in twenty nineteen. They did this to

146
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: themselves and New Yorkers are struggling. Do you think your

147
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: energy bills back? Can you imagine being there? New York

148
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: posts are part of the most ominous problem, the growing

149
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: risk of New York City might have difficulty keeping the

150
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: lights on as soon as June. It happened last year

151
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: in the heat wave when temperatures reach one hundred and

152
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: the electric grid collapsed or at least failed for a

153
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: lot of people for a period of time. State air

154
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: quality regulations related to the twenty nineteen Climbing Act have

155
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 1: already forced operators to close a few dozen peaker plower

156
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: power plants. Those are the ones that can bring online

157
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: when the wind ain't blowing and the sun ain't shining.

158
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: That lost peaker capacity should have been replaced years ago,

159
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: but state environmental officials in the twenty nineteen Climate Act

160
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 1: blocked the power plant upgrades in two specific places, Astoria

161
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: as well as Orange County that stopped upgrades. The remaining

162
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: stock keeps getting older. Get a load of this too,

163
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: yet to be replaced power plants in a story that

164
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: went offline amid the heat last year. Built in nineteen

165
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: fifty four, nineteen fifty eight, this is twenty twenty six.

166
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: We do have more modern technology plants that are more efficient.

167
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: Those should have been upgraded. Sorry, the twenty nineteen climateac says,

168
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 1: no sucks to be you. You can't do it, and

169
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: by the way, the residents of the Greater New York

170
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: Area are going to suffer for it. November bills up

171
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 1: an average seven percent over last year. Get a load

172
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: of this up forty seven percent since the twenty nineteen

173
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: Climate Act in New York had passed on average some

174
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: bills of more than double depending upon which area you

175
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: live in. New York state energy forecast published without fair

176
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: and fair last year, they say, showed that electric prices

177
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: across upstate New York could rise by at least an

178
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: additional forty percent in the next five years. Are Democrats

179
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: worried about the election in November because of what they did? No,

180
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 1: Apparently nobody in Republican nobody in the Republican Party even

181
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: runs there anymore. You're stuck with it. Meanwhile, everybody's screaming

182
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: about a fifty cent increase in gasoline probably and by

183
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: most estimates, that is going to be for the short term.

184
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: This stuff's permanent, folks. Some of the biggest state wide

185
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: costs there in New York because of the Climbing Act,

186
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: offshore wind and new power line under the Hudson River,

187
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: which haven't even shown up on the customer's bills yet,

188
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: meaning it's going to go up even more. They've been

189
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: fending off lawsuits by environmental groups upset that officials haven't

190
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 1: used the Climate Acts, long promised and legally required regulations

191
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: the increased fuel costs for homes, businesses, and vehicles. The

192
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: state depart Environmental Conservation was supposed to implement those regulations

193
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, but Governor Hockel, Democrat in

194
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: a state that voted to bring in the twenty nineteen

195
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 1: Climate Act, has resisted. Why because that system of regulations,

196
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: which are legally required to go into effect and have

197
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: been legally required for the last years to go into effect,

198
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: that have yet to do so, would increase gasoline prices

199
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: by are you ready again a self inflicted wound a

200
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: dollar sixty two per gallon, also raising the price of

201
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: home heating oil, diesel, and natural gas. Why because of

202
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: a signature back in twenty nineteen by the Governor of

203
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: New York. Nobody's running around pulling their hair out over that.

204
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: Are they evil Orange man? Causing the price of gas

205
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: to go up? While all the while the Democrats have

206
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 1: been doing this to us. It wasn't that long ago

207
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,479
Speaker 1: we were all paying five dollars a gown for gas.

208
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: We weathered that storm. Wow, the November elections. Why won't

209
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: people pay attention to what the Democrats have done that,

210
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: have forced everything to get more expensive. Why isn't this

211
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: a political liability for the Democrats. Why is a temporary

212
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: spike and gasoline causing people to run for the hills

213
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: and screaming and pulling their hair on? Oh my god,

214
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: oh my god. The November elections? Eh right, how they

215
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: get away with it? I have no idea five eighteen

216
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: right now fifty five kre see the talk station five

217

220
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: love to hear from you. Be right back. Here's what's happening,

221
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: Sarah claud, New York City, two devices five one three,

222
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,719
Speaker 1: seven fifty five hundred, eight hundred to eighty two to

223
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: three talk. Remind me of caller Bobby, who regularly tells

224
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: everybody faith, Emily, firearms and freedom, and keep your eyes

225
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: ever vigilant. He does the over and under on violence

226
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: in downtown cincinnat but also is worrying about perhaps terrorist

227
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: activities and the Bobby, I know you're out there something.

228
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 1: Maybe we need to be ever vigilant over aronsen a

229
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: what is called potential operational trigger, and our overseers federal

230
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: government FBI, etc. Are concerned that this may be an

231
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: activation of what they call sleeper assets around the globe.

232
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: Coded signals sent out after the death of Iranian Supreme

233
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: Leader League Ali Kamani message appearing to hold instructions for

234
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: covert operatives or sleeper assets, at least accorded reports by

235
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: ABC News talking to federal officials, they say the message

236
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: could be intended to activate and provide instructions to preposition

237
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 1: sleeper assets operating outside the originating country. That's, according to

238
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: the alert, that will be maybe the eighteen to twenty

239
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: thousand known gutaways that got into our country that may

240
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: very well be part of terrorist organizations. This is a

241
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: warning that my friend Colonel Bob Kattire mentioned to me

242
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: in an article that he's circulated from one of those

243
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: military outlets, talking about, well, we've got a real problem

244
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: on our hands. Potentially you take the eighteen thousand you

245
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: divided by five for whatever reason, five man units were

246
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: sort of the I guess, the ideal, and they're talking

247
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: about highly trained, like Navy Seal trained covert operatives. This

248
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: was the speculation in the article. I don't know whether

249
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: it's true or not, but these were, again a former

250
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: military officials talking about the practical reality and the concerns

251
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: raised by that number of people. Divided by five, you

252
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: got thirty six hundred and five man teams spread out

253
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: about the throughout the United States. That's enough five man

254
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: team for seventy two per state. And then the article

255
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: that was forwarded around went into gory and glorious detail

256
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: about how much harm that these special ops type five

257
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: men teams could do in any given state. Shutting off

258
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: electric grids was the immediate thing that came to mind.

259
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: So we've got this warning, and of course you got

260
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: what's going on in New York. You already had these

261
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: acts of terrorism. These guys were bat crap crazy. Amir

262
00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, they got arrested. They actually said, yeah,

263
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: we were trying to make something worse than the Boston

264
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: marathon bombing in twenty thirteen. Not enough people died in

265
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: that it was only three court to the reporting. The

266
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: defender wrote in a statement after his arrest, all praise

267
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: is due to Allah, Lord of all worlds. I pledge

268
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: my allegiance to the Islamic State die in your rage

269
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: you kufar thankfully, Kufar not an FCC non compliant word.

270
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: It's an Arabic term referring to an infidel or non believer.

271
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: Put me in that category. I guess they've been both

272
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: charged with five criminal counts attempted provision of material and

273
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: resources to a designated foreign terrorist group. Of course, the

274
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: Islamic State is a designated terrorist group. Just one of

275
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: a variety of incidents that have happened recently. Hell, they

276
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: shut down in a Southwest flight the other day because

277
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: a guy's phone went off. Passenger head has set a

278
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: timer on his phone to mark the prayer time during Ramana.

279
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: On that coused some concern on the plane, which caused

280
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: the plane to delay. Authorities had to come on the

281
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: plane and go through baggage and find out if there

282
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: was any explosive device. That's a little unsettling if you're

283
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: on an airplane. But in these trying times, you might

284
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: want the Department of Homeland Security to be funded. Hey,

285
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: Chucky Schumer, you worried about the concerns because DHS is

286
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: not being funded because of the shutdown, there might be

287
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: a security lapse. Fair to fund DHS may look in

288
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: retrostract retrospect like the height of partisan recklessness. Thank you

289
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal Editorial board for that fun fact. Because,

290
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: in addition to airports security screeners, DHS includes the Coast Guard,

291
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: which has personnel supporting, the US Navy in Bahrain, Secret Service,

292
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: and the Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security Agency, none of

293
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: which are currently being paid. I wonder if they're taking

294
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: days off because they're not getting a paycheck. Chuck Schumer

295
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: five twenty five, five thirty six. If you five kc

296
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: detalk station, your calls or local stories coming up, you

297
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: can stick around fifty five KRC the talk station, Charlotte,

Speaker 1: Happy Tuesday. FOP President Ken kober On the city manager

299
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: doing a great job. At least that's what city council says,

300
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 1: also calling for more transparency. Why don't they speak with

301
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: local media. Let's go to the phones. I got Rich

Speaker 3: shut down. We're gonna shut down.

310
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 4: We need to weave a people.

311
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 3: We need to vote these clowns out. But for the

312
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 3: most part, we need to put in a wall. If

313
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 3: you shut it down, you can't run for Congress, you

314
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 3: can't run for the SIDI, you can't run for anything again.

315
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 4: Well that's the only way we're gonna do get rid

316
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 4: of it. If we could.

317
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,719
Speaker 3: I don't know how to do that, but that's what

318
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 3: we need. If you if you shut it down, you

319
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 3: can't run again.

320
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: Well, I think that's your Your point is is fine,

321
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: but it's like term limits. I think we have only

322
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: ourselves to blame for voting the same damn people back

323
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: in office. We certainly could vote them out of office

324
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 1: as a consequence of them shutting the government down. But

325
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: you know this is this is where we find ours overage.

326
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 3: So yeah, I like to say start voting independent. Christopher

327
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 3: Smithman he had been great.

328
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

329
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 3: I don't agree everything he says, but he seemed like

330
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 3: the nicest die and anybody who can step up and

331
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 3: be a mom too.

332
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 4: That's a good character.

333
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: He is, yes, absolutely a man of high character and quality.

334
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: But I think a better solution would be, and you know, hell,

335
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: let's have them put their money where their mouth is.

336
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: And they're happy to deny people of paycheck, knowing full

337
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: well that you know after the government reopens that those

338
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: employees have been doing without are going to get their

339
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: money back. But what do you do during the period

340
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: of time when you don't have the money flowing in? Fine,

341
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: how about their salaries stop? During any government shut down,

342
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: the senators and the representatives get nothing zero Oh and

343
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: their staff good call Joe, right, but we're still working.

344
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: I know you're not your harumphing, So suck it up.

345
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: You've done it to other people. Then you're not going

346
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: to get paid either. I think that's a reasonable thing.

347
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 1: They would have to they would have to vote that in.

348
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,239
Speaker 1: I want to see them on record, no, we're not

349
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: going to deprive ourselves of a paycheck that we're depriving others.

350
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 1: And of course, within that piece of legislation, it could

351
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: reflect that they will get what is coming to them

352
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: retroactively when the government opens back up, just like the

353
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: rest of the government employees. So try that one, guys.

354
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: Let's see how that works. Tom Welcome in the morning,

355
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: showing a very happy Tuesday.

356
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 4: To you, did you say.

357
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: I didn't get a rumph out of that guy?

358
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 4: And you didn't and you didn't get a phrasing button

359
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 4: or nothing? Okay, I'm is that like coo far? Is

360
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 4: that close to flu bar?

361
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: It could be.

362
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm not sure.

363
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: I haven't heard that word though I don't speak the language.

364
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 4: I just read what right, based on what your your translation,

365
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 4: your definition is, I think I might fall into that category.

366
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: Well, well, Tom, you have seen blazing saddles. You know

367
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: what her rump is? Right?

368
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just breaking it up because I don't I'm

369
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 4: trying to remember last time I heard you use that word.

370
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 4: So it's been a minute, so right there you go. So, yeah,

371
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 4: you've heard the phrase. Everyone's heard the phrase, if it

372
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 4: ain't broke, don't fix it. So the Democrats change that phrase,

373
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 4: and there there's is if it ain't broke, break it

374
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 4: and blame it on the Republicans and don't let them

375
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 4: fix it. No matter what you do, don't let them

376
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 4: fix it. We have to have the problem going on,

377
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 4: so we could point the finger at the Republicans, although

378
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 4: anyone with that decides to use half a brain can

379
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 4: see we're the ones that broke it, and we're the

380
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 4: ones keeping it broken.

381
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: The Democrats, right, the Democrats, We don't.

382
00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 4: The Democrats don't want problems to be solved. They wants

383
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 4: to persist so they can have something to blame on

384
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 4: the Republicans. It's really that simple. And how do they

385
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 4: keep getting away with it us? It's because the media

386
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 4: is complicit and because of all these other useful idiots

387
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 4: that run around that get themselves all wound up and

388
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 4: do a frenzy and get their emotions all stirred up,

389
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 4: and they're willing to chant the same bs that the

390
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 4: Democrats come out of their stupid mouths and blame the Republicans. Look,

391
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 4: Republicans aren't perfect, but all these problems that are going on.

392
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 4: I seem to remember, I just passed the gas station

393
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 4: a little bit ago three point fifty nine. If I'm

394
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 4: not mistaken, gas was much higher than that two years

395
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:43,959
Speaker 4: ago without a war, correct so much so this is

396
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 4: this is all kinds of frenzy over nothing, And it's

397
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 4: just the Democrats taking advantage of a problem that they created.

398
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 4: As you stated very clearly, they're the ones that created

399
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,719
Speaker 4: is they want this problem to keep going on and

400
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 4: all they're doing is pointing to the aer across the aisle,

401
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 4: and they're flat out liars, Brian, They're liars, that's it.

402
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 4: That's all it comes down through. And again the media

403
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 4: is complicit in this, and they're going to go along

404
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 4: with whatever Chucky and whatever AOC or any other leader

405
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 4: from the Democrat Party puts out there. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

406
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 4: they care about the people. Let's let's let's keep singing

407
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 4: this refrain. No, it's all lies.

408
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 2: They're lying to you.

409
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 4: They don't want the problems to be solved. They want

410
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 4: you to suffer, so they have something to blame on

411
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 4: their political opponent. Period. That's all this is about. Don't

412
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 4: vote Democrat, have a great day.

413
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, blame it on the political opponent. But while at

414
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: the same time, the nefarious reality that's looming in the

415
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: background is they literally, i think quite literally, if they're

416
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: not aware of it, they're part of the useful idiot crowd.

417
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: But the nefarious crowd, which is pulling the puppet strings globally,

418
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: wants to ruin our economy. And it just really cracks

419
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: me up to see everybody pulling their hair out globally

420
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: over the price of oil. Going up over the short term.

421
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 1: You know, do you think they're that concerned over it?

422
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: I mean, shouldn't the credit Thunberg's of the world be

423
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: rejoicing over the fact that we're consuming less soil because

424
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: twenty percent of the global demand and supply has been

425
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 1: taken out of the equation. Isn't that room for sal

426
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: isn't that cost for celebration? Now, the same people that'll

427
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: tell you you're supposed to pay more than you're supposed

428
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 1: to get away from using fossil fuel. Would I just again,

429
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: is this because the media is complicit in hiding this reality?

430
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: Or is it because we're too dumb to wake up

431
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: to the fact that what they're screaming about is the

432
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 1: antithesis of what they really want. They won high prices

433
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: of oil. Welcome, you got it overnight. Yeah, Irani and

434
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: war did it, and you got what we asked for.

435
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: Demand will necessarily go down when the price goes up.

436
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 1: Price of goods and services will necessarily go up, reducing consumption.

437
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: This sounds like a socialist, globalist dream from my perspective.

438
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 1: Five point thirty six fifty five KC detalk station stack

439
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: is stupid. Although we feel we already entered it coming

440
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 1: up next or give me a call. Either way we

441
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: go be right back.

442
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,960

00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: Bill on the lining. Bill, thanks for calling this morning,

448
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: and Happy Tuesday to you, sir.

449
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

450
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:22,719
Speaker 5: Thanks.

451
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 1: Hey.

452
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 5: I just want to say Tom is one hundred percent correct.

453
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 5: I couldn't agree with him more. I have been saying

454
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 5: this to my friends all along, that they create the day,

455
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 5: the Democrats. Democrats create the problem, and then they want

456
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 5: to blame the Republicans because it's not getting sick. So

457
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 5: they thump their chests and tell the world we can

458
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 5: fix it, we can fix it, and of course we

459
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 5: end up with people like Harris and Biden that's going

460
00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 5: to fix it. No, you can't vote for a Democrat.

461
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 5: If you do, you're just going to keep getting the

462
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 5: same garbage. So I couldn't agree with him more. I

463
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 5: was trying to explain exactly what Tom said to a

464
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 5: friend of mine last night. He can't. My friend can't

465
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 5: understand why the Democrats aren't in favor of, for one thing,

466
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 5: security in the country, keeping us safe. He can't understand that.

467
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 5: And I said, it's easy. The Democrats don't want it

468
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 5: right now. They absolutely want to see chaos, anarchy, violence,

469
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 5: so they can point the finger at someone else and

470
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 5: then ask for their vote.

471
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: Phil, I can see this one unfolding here. Here, here's

472
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 1: an illustration of what I think you're talking about here,

473
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: the maybe just the the FBI, federal authorities warning about

474
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: this operational trigger activating sleep or Soul. So what happens

475
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: if that turns out to be true and there is

476
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: there are act of terrorism brought around by these Islamic fundamentalists.

477
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 1: They're going to blame Trump for his launching a war

478
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: against Iran. Right, They're not going to blame Joe Biden's

479
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,479
Speaker 1: open borders for allowing these sleeper cells to enter our

480
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: country unvetted and lurking in the shadows until they're activated. Right, Bill,

481
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: that happened a while back. That was years in advance.

482
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: When Joe Biden let that happen, he didn't know that

483
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: we were going to launch an operation against the Iranians.

484
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: But you know who's going to get blamed for it.

485
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 6: As this tradition.

486
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 1: I think you know a hosted scenario. Someone kidnap someone

487
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: and threatens to kill them unless you do something. If

488
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: you don't do whatever they ask you to, it's your

489
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: fault that they pulled the trigger. Yeah, mm hm, over

490
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: to the stack. Is stupid. Here you go. Sixteen year

491
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: old Idaho boy plead guilty of shooting a woman to

492
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 1: death with a stolen gun because he said she wouldn't

493
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: give him a ride and he thought that her brothers

494
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,479
Speaker 1: had a role in his his friend's death. Her brothers

495
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: Bobby Grant Jackson Junior. The suspect retortally reportedly told cops

496
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: referring to thirty year old Rebecca Riviera the victim, I

497
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: put a bullet in her brain. Sixteen years old plead

Speaker 1: Part of the plea deal, prosecutors drop a first degree

501
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,959
Speaker 1: murder charge. Prosecutors told local news that the plea agreement

502
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: calls for the sentence between twenty and twenty seven years behind.

503
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: Barr family members found Rivera dead from a gunshot room

504
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: four pm in her mobile home, probably cause arrest. AFFI

505
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: David Obtained said Jackson was working earlier that day for

506
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: a subcontractor tractor renting a hospital. Employee told investigators at

507

Speaker 1: Jackson had asked to go to the bathroom. It was

508
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,960

Speaker 1: gun owner gathered some ammunition he said he had said

514
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: was in the gun when it was stolen. Detectives compared

515
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: the bullets found a matching pattern from the shell casings

516
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: found at Rivera's home. Best Gutters Lord and Jackson had

517
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: been living at a halfway house while on probation from

518
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 1: a previous arrest for armed robbery. Employee there told police

00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: they saw Jackson early in the day asking for a ride.

523
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: Surveillance images confirmed that he was at a trailer park

524
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: sometime at about twelve thirty in the afternoon. They found

525
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: that Rivera was murdered with a nine millimeter handgun, same

526
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: type of weapon Jackson stole from the work site. Arrest

Speaker 1: No relationship with Rivera vescued reportedly wrote that Jackson asked

530
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: Rivera for a ride, and when she said no, he

531
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: said f it, went into the trailer and killed her.

Speaker 1: Claimed that he recognized Rivera and believed her brothers had

533
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: killed his friends. Nobody knows where that came from. When

534
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: I asked if he killed Rivera as payback, he reportedly

535
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: answered in the affirm affirmative, saying again, I put a

536
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,880

00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna throw a giant Barbi streisand flag on this,

547
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: you know, going back from the quote from Abraham Lincoln.

548
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: If you read it on the internet, it's true. There

549
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: is a allegedly a new viral what is described as

550
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: weight loss hack sweeping Chinese social media. Chinese social media,

551
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: young people putting plastic wrap over their mouths to prevent

552
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: any I guess calories or food from making contact with them.

553
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: They protect this is just dumb. They pretend to chew

554
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: the food through the clingfilm and then of course spin

555
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: it out and throw it away. The plastic wrap is

556
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: allegedly supposed to act as a sort of mouth condom

557
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: to prevent you from ingesting calories while allowing you to

558
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: trick your brain into thinking that it is going to

559
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: receive nutrition. They say, it allegedly helps you feel satisfied

560
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: without actually consuming any calories. Ah, how about no, thank you, Michael.

561
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: It simulating eating does not provide the body with energy.

562
00:30:55,560 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: Of course, stating the obvious, they say it could even

563
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: intensify cravings over time. Why because your body, your body's

564
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: not getting anything in return for the chewing. Don't they

565
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: have sugar free chewing gum that wouldn't produce any calories,

566
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: but allow you the satisfaction of doing exactly what the

567
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: clean rap is doing without you know, weight gain or

568
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: anything associated with it. At least you get flavor. If

569
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: you're doing that chewing a clean rap, you're not even

570
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: get the taste of the food. And why would you

571
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: spit out food? I imagine the Chinese are dealing with

572
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: inflationary realities just like we are. Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb,

573
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: dumb Go to Washington. Specifically, Thurston County got a motorcycle

574

575
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:44,400

576
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: gear to a tarp where the suspect was hiding. Sheriff's

578
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: K nineteen, called in Witty, said that after a brief pursuit,

579
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: the rider ditched the motorcycle and flat on foot, also

580
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: apparently parting ways with his shoes somewhere along the escape route.

581
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: That's from the report. Canine Asher all right. Shortly afterward,

582
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: began tracking the sheriffs. Tracking the scent, deputy said the

583
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: suspect tried to get away by clearing several tall fences,

584
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: but left behind a helpful trail of personnel personal belongings,

585
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: including a jacket, backpack, and riding pants. Idiots doing idiot

586
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: things because they're idiots.

587
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 4: Uh.

588
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: Track briefly lost, but Canine Asher directed the deputies to

589
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: a tarp in a nearby home where the suspect had

590
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: decided to hide. Sheriff's office said after some canine assisted persuasion,

591
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: the suspect reconsidered his options and surrendered to deputies without incident.

592
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: Canine assisted persuasion, Yeah, can only imagine what that's like.

00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: why the politicians at Columbus are so scared to talk

619
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: to the media. Why is that. Fortunately one of them

620
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: came on the Morning show. It's a rare occasion where

621
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: we get one of the Ohio representatives to show up

622
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: on the Morning show. It don't seem to respond to

623
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: Joe's calls for whatever reason, but DJ Sweringen did yesterday.

624
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 1: We talked to him about his introduction of Holly's Law,

625
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: and he was preceded by Holly herself. Of course, the

626
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: woman who got the brutal beat down in downtown Cincinnati,

627
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: which did make the was a bit of a focus

628
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 1: within the Cincinnati Port Performance review of Eryl Long. So

629
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 1: that topic with Tom along with conservatives failing to show

630
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 1: up for a support the Ice rally that would include me,

631
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 1: I didn't know there was one. Don't know that I'd

632
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: be inclined to show up any kind rally. Inside Scoop

633
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: with Bright Bart News. It is Tuesday. We do it

634
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: at every Tuesday. At eighty five today the economics Senator

635
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: John Carney on the economic impact of the war in Iran.

636
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: Of course I went on a tear in the last

637
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: hour on that point. Daniel Davis deep dive of course.

638
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: Retired Lieutenant colonel will give us an update on Iran

639
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: and my buddy Austin from Foreign Exchange with asked the

640
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: expert at the tail end of the program five one three,

641
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,720
Speaker 1: seven fifty eight two to three talk pound by fifty

642
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: on AT and T phones before I dive into the stupid.

643
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: Since then, he manage your performance review. At least that's

644
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,879
Speaker 1: my perception. Let's see what CJ's got this morning. CJ,

645
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 1: thanks for calling. Happy Tuesday.

646
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 8: Oh, good morning, and happy Tuesday to you as well.

647
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 8: You know you were just before the end of the

648
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,280
Speaker 8: last hour you had your stacked with stupid. You should

649
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,359
Speaker 8: almost just make it about Gavin Newsom these days, as

650
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 8: he's doing his little book tour after the Babylon b

651
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 8: there may not be a better satirical social media page

652
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 8: then the Gavin news pages. He's running around trying to

653
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 8: blame Donald Trump for the high gas prices in California.

654
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 8: Last week he had Chevron say, Hey, if you can't

655
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 8: get this cap and scam deal under control, we're out.

656
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 8: We're out next year too. We're gonna join Phillips, We're

657
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 8: going to join the other company that just left as well. Right,

658
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 8: And then last night Marathon did the same exact same thing,

659
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 8: which would leave California with two oil refiners. You were

660
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 8: still talking about, even though six hundred thousand people in

661
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 8: the last five years have moved out of the state

662
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 8: of California, you were still talking about, by far the

663
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 8: largest state in the Union with two oil refineries.

664
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 4: Why is their gas prices so high?

665
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 8: I know, the Straight of Four Moves is closed, and

666
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 8: they get all their gas, not just their oil, but

667
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 8: all their gasoline is now coming from or not all,

668
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 8: but about forty percent of it is coming from South

669
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 8: Korea and India through the Straight of Foor Moves. From

670
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 8: the oil, they're actually sending tankers from Texas to Jamaica,

671
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 8: so that way they can change the flag of this

672
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 8: shipping carrier to go through the Panama Canal. And he

673
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 8: wants to complain about this. I will tell all my

674
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 8: fellow former Californians.

675
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 2: You moved to a state like.

676
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 8: Ohio, do not start voting Democrats because you feel like

677
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 8: they're a little bit over conservative.

678
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 2: Do you know what?

679
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 4: There's a reason you moved here.

680
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 2: I know, assimilate, Assimilate. It's great.

681
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 8: Like there might be times I sit there and think,

682
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 8: I don't know if I like that. But you know what,

683
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 8: I moved here for a reason, and it was not

684
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 8: to bring eight dollars a gallon gas.

685
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: Right well, I mean before the Strait of horr Moves

686
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 1: was closed, the Californians were playing close to five dollars

687
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: a gallon anyway. Because of the regulatory structure in California,

688
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: climate change and global warming and all my gobrell gonna die.

689
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 1: That was the point in the last hour when I

690
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: was rant about New York. They're complaining about the problem there,

691
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: electric bills, fuel prices high. It's because of the twenty

692
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 1: nineteen Climate Act that the New York Legislature passed and

693
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,800
Speaker 1: the governors signed in the way it mandates this stuff.

694
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 1: People screaming their bloody head off. Democrats are talking about

695
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 1: winning the November election, including California Democrats like Gavin Newsom,

696
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: talking about winning the on the backs of the Strait

697
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 1: of Horror Moves being closed, which has temporarily caused a

698
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 1: price and gaptical of gas go fifty cents, I mean

699
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: California versus the rest of the the rest of the

700
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: country mostly price of gas near five dollars. We're out

701
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: here paying a buck seventy as of a couple of

702
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Big difference what policy may have, a big

703
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: difference in policy, big difference in price. It's okay if

704
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: gas is five bucks a gallon because of global warming

705
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,879
Speaker 1: or whatever, but it's not okay the gas is high.

706
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: We need to lower the price of gas because we're

707
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: making great inroads and beating the living crap out of

708
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: the Iranians who've been a thorn in our side since

709
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,879
Speaker 1: the Ayatolla took over in nineteen seventy nine. How many

710
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 1: countless Americans have been killed by the Iranians or their

711
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: proxies over that period of time. I guess the red

712
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: line of the Santa been crossed. Donald Trump decided to

713
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: act on it, And yes, I don't know that it

714
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,800
Speaker 1: was necessarily lawful, But you know what, we've got history

715
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: as our guide. Ever since World War Two, we've been

716
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 1: waging war across this planet of ours under both Republican

717
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: and Democrat administrations. Answer for all those first, before you

718
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,240
Speaker 1: start going after Trump again, Do you have lawful reasons

719
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,919
Speaker 1: to do it? Yeah? But I go back to legal

720
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: principles of waiver and estoppel. You know, you do something

721
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,919
Speaker 1: long enough and nobody says anything about it. You will

722
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 1: basically given a free pass to continue to do it.

723
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: Will that bring about some problems? Yes, the straight of

724
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 1: horror moves may be closed, but you know what, you know,

725
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,879
Speaker 1: damn well, it's going to be open again because it's

726
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: been closed before only to open again. Then your price

727
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: of gas will necessarily drop because that twenty percent of

728
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: the world's global demand is going through again. But in

729
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 1: states like New York we have the twenty nineteen Climbing Act,

730
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: and in states like California where we have the Cap

731
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: and trade or carbon credit or whatever the hell is

732
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: driving their prool fuel prices up along with all the

733
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: regulatory environment designed to rid the globe of plant food.

734
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 1: Go it alone, you know, I think of the city

735
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,760
Speaker 1: manager getting these props for budgeting, including in downtown Cincinnati.

736
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: Part of the budget included building a new solar array.

737
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: The city took it upon itself to do that. And

738
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: going back to the last callers points, you know, don't

739
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,800
Speaker 1: move out of California and come to Ohio and screw

740
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: things up for us by voting for these left wing policies.

741
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: A shout out to former Anderson Township trustee Drew Pappus,

742
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: who laments all of the people who left the city

743
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati because it's so damn dysfunctional and fleeing to

744
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: places like Anderson Township where life's really good and the

745
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 1: tax revenue is grade and they seem to have a

746
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: well oiled machine budget wise. Don't screw it up for

747
00:40:50,360 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 1: the rest of them. Right having a conversation with a

748
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: couple of people I know, kind of left wingers leaving

749
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 1: for Florida. Settle in their house here and move it

750
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 1: out of Florida, I said the same thing to them.

751
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: Don't screw it up for the Floridians, the entire country,

752
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: and at least people who are trying to flee for

753
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: lower taxes in a better, lower regulated life. They're going

754
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 1: to Florida. You're going to reap the benefits of all

755
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 1: those conservative policies by living there. You're going to save

756
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: on taxes, it's going to be cheaper, it's going to

757
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 1: be less expensive to live. You're going to enjoy it.

758
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 1: But if you had your political way, that state wouldn't

759
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: exist in the situation that it's in right now. It

760
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: would probably look more like New York or California or Illinois,

761
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 1: all the states that are bleeding and are drowning in

762
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: debt brought about by their own policies, plus life being

763
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 1: miserable based on their policies, again driving the cost of

764
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: doing anything in those states through the roof as a

765
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: consequence of the regulatory burden. We've got to do this

766
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 1: and right. This means certainly an imposition of a hardship

767
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: on everybody else who's actually just trying to live, thrive,

768
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 1: and survive. Yeah, don't do that. Six fifteen fifty five

769
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 1: Kercit talks station get in touch with Jimmy Care Fireplaces sto.

770
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: They enjoy an A plus with a better CD talk

771
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: station Heavy Tuesday, FLP President Ken Kober coming up to

772
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: talk about the city manager performance review. They say she's

773
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: doing a great job. Says it right here. Summary Jara

774
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:31,800
Speaker 1: Long is the right person to lead the City of

775
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: Cincinnati a city manager. Period. Okay, well, they said it

776
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: must be true right course of the report that was released,

777
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: there were multiple phases, I guess in this particular case,

778
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:48,240
Speaker 1: Phase six is profit. Phase one involved city manager presenting

779
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: her own ear end review. Council then passed phase two,

780
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: a motion laid out ten categories to review the city manager.

781
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:02,800
Speaker 1: First five categories they say, reflect budget priorities, public safety

782
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 1: and health number one, growing economy at growing economic opportunities,

783
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 1: thriving neighborhoods, fiscal stability, and excellent and equitable service delivery.

784
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: You know, the E word had to be in there,

785
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: and now not talking about excellent. Of course, those are

786
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: these first five categories reflecting budget priorities. Then there were

787
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: five categories that reflect council priorities. Management, which includes recruitment, retention,

788
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 1: employee morale, major hires, culture of yes and no, removing bottlenecks,

789
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: draw your own conclusions. Leadership, the ability to prioritize, delegate

790
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 1: and lead government efficiencies, removing unnecessary burdens, removed projects forward,

791
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: used data driven approach, relationship and collaboration with council, mayor

792
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:47,800
Speaker 1: and community partners. And then finally communication skills internal and external.

793
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: So then you got phase three. After they outlined the

794
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: five of the ten categories, council members then engage with

795
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: internal and external stakeholders to give them information about the

796
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:03,359
Speaker 1: city manager. Phase four they consider the city manager's own evaluation,

797
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,840
Speaker 1: which was phase one, and finally phase five they voted

798
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 1: to go into executive session to talk about compensation and

799
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 1: their review of the city manager. Relative to the ten

800
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 1: categories identified. Ready for the word salad share Long is

801
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 1: the right person to lead the City of Cincinnati As

802
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: city manager. Miss Long has provided continuity in city government

803
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: over the past few years, with significant significant progress across

804
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 1: departments in performance based management and a focus on improving

805
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 1: service delivery as well as fiscal health. There will always

806
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,320
Speaker 1: be challenges for any city manager, and the mark of

807
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 1: good leader is one that continuously improves and ups their

808
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:53,839
Speaker 1: game in the face of those challenges. City Manager Long

809
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 1: has proven that she will always do just that. She's

810
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 1: good at game uping Joe. When there were challenges with

811
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 1: the snow removal in January of twenty twenty five, she

812
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: course corrected with new leadership in charge of Department of

813
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: Public Services, which has seen significant improvement based upon recent

814
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:15,720
Speaker 1: snow emergencies. When she faced a tough public and safety

815
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 1: Oh this is a good one, we get snow removal.

816
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 1: When she faced a tough public safety environment at Government

817
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: Square and in the summer of twenty twenty five, I

818
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:29,320
Speaker 1: think those are two separate things. Problems at Government Square

819
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: problems generally speaking for violence in the summer of last year,

820
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: right when she faced those tough issues. She worked closely

821
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 1: with city council and the mayor to determine the resources

822
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 1: needed to turn it around. And she did yeah by

823
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:49,240
Speaker 1: firing the police chief. At essence, Johdan, is it safer

824
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 1: in downtown Cincinnati? All these problems turned around? No, thank you, Dad.

825
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 1: When she faced a budget deficit with the exhaustion of

826
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 1: federal ARBA dollars, she stepped up to make reductions while

827
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: still maintaining core services and investments in public safety and

828
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 1: delivering a structurally balanced budget, which of course included millions

829
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: of dollars for NGOC Todd Zenzer's report, and of course,

830
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 1: the funding of a brand new solar farm. Joe, am

831
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:23,840
Speaker 1: I wrong in remembering that there were rumors of a

832
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 1: thirty one million dollar budget shortfall in the city. Did

833
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: I just maybe incorrectly read that the city manager has

834
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: acknowledged an opportunity for improvement in solidifying a more robust

835
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 1: human resource performance improvement process for her leadership team, which

836
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 1: will ensure a better alignment with expectations when performance issues arise.

837
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 1: I'm just having fond recollection of partners when I was

838
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: a junior associate getting their red pen out and scratching

839
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: out unnecessary and useless verb from briefs. The city manager

840
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 1: also plans to implement a crisis communications framework. Well, it's

841
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 1: in the back of her mind. I guess that means

842
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: to ensure that we have a more formal process for

843
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: responding to crises such as the brawl in the summer

844
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty five. Yeah, they're working on that. Additionally,

845
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 1: she has plans to put in place a single point

846
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:29,320
Speaker 1: of contact to deployee since he on track rail dollars

847
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: as efficiently as effectively as possible. That one's still in

848
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:34,320
Speaker 1: the back of her mind too. She has plans to

849
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 1: do it. There's your your overall summary, and then they

850
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 1: break it down to specific points points that I'm sure

851
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 1: FOP President Ken Kober is going to have a common

852
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 1: or two on he joins the program next. I hope

853
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: you can stick around for that. One should be fun.

854
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 1: It's always great having keen on the fifty five Cares

855
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 1: Yet six point thirty fifty five care SED talk station.

856
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,360
Speaker 1: Very happy to extra special Tuesday, the return of FOP

857
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 1: President Ken Kober representing the Sincinni Police Departments Union. Welcome

858
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: back ken Kobe or timing couldn't be better. Hey, maybe

859
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 1: that's why you're here. Did you read the city manager

860
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 1: performance review? She's awesome and she's the right person to

861
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: leave the city Cincinnati as city manager. Says the report, Ken, welcome.

862
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,320
Speaker 7: Back, Thank good morning, Brian. Thanks for having me. It

863
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 7: was a certainly an interesting report.

864
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

865
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:24,919
Speaker 1: I mean I read the summary just a moment ago

866
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: out loud, and a lot of it sounds like some

867
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: sort of college professor's psychobabbel exercise and amounts to a

868
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 1: bunch of nothingness. There's a plan to do this, she

869
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 1: has an idea on this, and it's all awesome. I

870
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 1: guess let's turn to public self health and safety. According

871
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:43,760
Speaker 1: to report, one of the successes she launched and achieving

872
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: Change Together for Since he act for Since he described

873
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 1: as a holistic, comprehensive, community driven plan to reduce gun violence,

874
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 1: reducing overall shootings by twelve point five percent in the

875
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:56,839
Speaker 1: first year. I'm not sure where that statistic come from. Ken.

876
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: Is that an aspirational goal or do we actually get

877
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 1: a reduction in violence because I don't see. I mean,

878
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 1: at least my reading the news is we still have

879
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: a serious problem with gun violence in the city.

880
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

881
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:11,240
Speaker 9: Well, We're at fifteen homicides so far this year, pretty

882
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:13,399
Speaker 9: small sample, only the first two months of the year.

883
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:15,399
Speaker 9: I mean, we're obviously only in the second week of March,

884
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 9: but we're on pace to have ninety homicides, which ironically

885
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 9: is twenty percent or twenty more homicides than we had

886
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 9: last year. So I'm not so sure that, at least

887
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 9: at this point, which is the coldest months of this year,

888
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 9: I'm not so sure that the gun reviolence reduction program

889
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 9: is actually working.

890
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 1: Uh yeah. And plus we're going into November. It is

891
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: a very big political year, so I suspect rallies and

892
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 1: you know, protests and all that are gonna be rolling

893
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: out in the streets. It's great an opportunity for even

894
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,880
Speaker 1: more violence coupled with the heat. I don't want to,

895
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 1: you know, suggest that that is actually going to happen,

896
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:52,800
Speaker 1: but logic and reason dictates that we need to be

897
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 1: concerned about that.

898
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I just I mean, I said, when

899
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 9: you're in the slow months of the year and you're

900
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 9: already surpassing a projection of homicides, I don't know that

901
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 9: touting that gun violence is down is necessarily the right thing,

902
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 9: especially coming off a mass shooting of nine people shot,

903
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 9: and then the next weekend we had two homicides on

904
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 9: a Sunday morning, And there's just a lot of things

905
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 9: that don't point towards gun violence going in.

906
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 7: The right direction.

907
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 1: Well, they praised her for continuing to invest in police

908
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 1: and fire departments in the new recruit classes, touting the

909
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 1: fire department reaching its full compliment for the first time

910
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: in a long time and the police department getting closer

911
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 1: to a full compliment. Are are we closer too? Because

912
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 1: every time you and I talk can Cover, I keep

913
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:48,759
Speaker 1: hearing about more and more officers planning on retiring or

914
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 1: maybe choosing a different law enforcement agency to work for.

915
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:53,880
Speaker 1: Where are we in terms of the full compliment? And

916
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 1: is this even close to accurate or partially accurate?

917
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there is.

918
00:50:58,280 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 7: Certainly a silver lining.

919
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 9: I mean, I think the city manager has invested in

920
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 9: the police department at least financially. You know, there has

921
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 9: been a commitment to these recruit classes. The problem is,

922
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,399
Speaker 9: you know, there's been no commitment or even a thought

923
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,800
Speaker 9: of trying to retain people. You know, recruitment is just

924
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,760
Speaker 9: one portion of this. You know, when you're hiring sixty

925
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 9: cops a year, but you're losing ninety. That math isn't working,

926
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:25,720
Speaker 9: you know, And until they find a way to retain

927
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:29,320
Speaker 9: officers and slow down retirements, we're going to continue to

928
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:30,400
Speaker 9: be in the situation we are.

929
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 7: But like I said, not not all is lost.

930
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 9: I certainly do appreciate the fact that, you know, the

931
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 9: city manager is committed to hiring more officers. But it's

932
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 9: just the right thing to do when when you don't

933
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:45,840
Speaker 9: have enough of something, you should be doing these things anyway. So,

934
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 9: like I said, that's kind of a silver lining. I

935
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 9: would I wouldn't pad anybody too much on the back

936
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 9: for just doing the right thing. But it certainly is

937
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 9: appreciated because we've had past counsels, past mayors that it

938
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 9: has not been a priority. So, you know, for her,

939
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 9: I certainly do appreciate ate that part.

940
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 2: Well.

941
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 1: One of the five categories council looked for as a

942
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 1: priority was communication external and internal, and the relationship that

943
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 1: the city manager has with the police department. It was

944
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 1: suspiciously absent here. Nothing about encouraging or you know, patting

945
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:16,920
Speaker 1: her on the back for her, you know, reaching out

946
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 1: to the police, otherwise publicly supporting them and That's one

947
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 1: of the things Christopher Smitheman regularly complains about. It is like,

948
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 1: where is the support for police? How come there's no

949
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 1: outlile recognition of the work they do. Praise for the

950
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 1: police department seems to be absent across the board in

951
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: leadership in downtown Cincinnati.

952
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, and it's little things like that. Well,

953
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 9: I'll give you an example. You we just graduated fifty

954
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 9: four people. You know, city manager shows up, swears them

955
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 9: in and then walks out there in the middle of

956
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 9: the ceremony. A lot of people took notice of that. Yeah,

957
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 9: that's not really showing support when you can't sit there

958
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:54,399
Speaker 9: for another fifteen twenty minutes until graduations complete and then leave.

959
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 7: You know, it's little things like that.

960
00:52:57,520 --> 00:52:59,800
Speaker 9: You can say all day long when you're standing in

961
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 9: a camera that you support the police, that you support

962
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 9: public safety.

963
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 7: But it's the actions that speak a.

964
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,760
Speaker 1: Lot louder than words. Do amen to that FOP President

965
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:10,839
Speaker 1: can coverer. Hold, we'll come back. We'll talk a little

966
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,320
Speaker 1: bit more about this glowing review for the city manager

967
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:15,840
Speaker 1: and see if there's areas where you think FOP President

968
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 1: can cover. Maybe the union response to the City of

969
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's review performance review is city Manager Cheryl Long. I've

970
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:27,360
Speaker 1: read through the report. I guess I'm wondering FOP President

971
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:29,919
Speaker 1: kencober was there anything missing in there, anything that wasn't

972
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 1: address or anything that you thought perhaps maybe she got

973
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:34,240
Speaker 1: a glowing or is it review when it wasn't deserved,

974
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 1: or maybe that she deserves some glowing reviews for something

975
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:40,920
Speaker 1: she's done. I'm, of course focusing on crime and law

976
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 1: enforcement and violence in the city of Cincinnati, since that

977
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:47,320
Speaker 1: you're bailliwick there, Ken cober Well, I mean, the only.

978
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 9: Thing that I thought that was absolutely glaring that was

979
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 9: missing were, of course the tough topics, like the fact

980
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 9: that we have a police chief that's on administrative leave

981
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,359
Speaker 9: and has been since October, you know, eight point two

982
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 9: million dollar pace out the criminals for breaking the law

983
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 9: in twenty twenty.

984
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 7: I do understand that she inherited that mess, but you know,

985
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 7: what you do with a mess that you inherit.

986
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 9: Says a lot about you, And I think just paying

987
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 9: off criminals was was not a very good look. And

988
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:17,400
Speaker 9: then of course, you know, necessarily doesn't affect the police,

989
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 9: but it does at least somewhat is you know, dealing

990
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:22,919
Speaker 9: with Michael Washington. I did see there was one line

991
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:24,879
Speaker 9: in there that this is going to make a better

992
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:28,759
Speaker 9: effort to create a robust human resources.

993
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 7: You know, plan for department heads. I'm like, let me

994
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 7: just call it what it is. You know, these these

995
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 7: have been really, really troubling things that have happened.

996
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 9: When you're talking about terminating Mike Washington, you know, the

997
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:45,320
Speaker 9: administratively for the chief, those are those are huge things

998
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 9: that you thought that council would have at least addressed.

999
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:51,280
Speaker 7: But they just completely skipped over it like it didn't.

1000
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 1: Happen, skipped over like it didn't happen. And then, you

1001
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:54,840
Speaker 1: know who the whole idea of having a human resource

1002
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:57,319
Speaker 1: person that that person is supposed to be at least

1003
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 1: informed in employment law, and that person might want to say, hey,

1004
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:03,839
Speaker 1: if you're going to suspend a police chief, you might

1005
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 1: want to have a specific reason to do it. They

1006
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:08,960
Speaker 1: had to hire an independent law firm to go out

1007
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:11,359
Speaker 1: into the world and look at her thirty plus year

1008
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 1: record to try to find some reason to justify putting

1009
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 1: her on pay leave. They haven't been able to find anything.

1010
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:20,240
Speaker 1: Apparently they've extended that retention of the law firm twice

1011
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,799
Speaker 1: now to this day, Ken, we have no explanation why

1012
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 1: police chief these he was placed on admin leave none.

1013
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, how that's.

1014
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:32,839
Speaker 9: Not worthy of at least addressing and somebody that makes

1015
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:36,800
Speaker 9: decisions that is beyond me, which is why I believe that,

1016
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:39,239
Speaker 9: you know, this report is just it is what it is.

1017
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:40,320
Speaker 7: It's just a bunch of fluff.

1018
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 9: You know, I don't think that any of this was

1019
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 9: done and really a genuine attitude of hey, let's take

1020
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 9: a hard look at what the city manager's doing, and

1021
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:52,839
Speaker 9: you know, if we see that they're shortcomings, what can

1022
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:56,240
Speaker 9: we do to encourage her to you know, to succeed

1023
00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 9: instead of some of these failures.

1024
00:55:59,000 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 7: And it just wasn't there.

1025
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 9: This was just you know, a couple of pieces, you know,

1026
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:05,000
Speaker 9: words on a piece of paper that let's move on

1027
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:05,399
Speaker 9: with life.

1028
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 1: Well exactly. And I guess I'm not suggesting that I

1029
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 1: expected anything other than this glowing review from since any

1030
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 1: city council. I mean, do you think they would dare

1031
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 1: to undermine the perception of unanimity and glowing reviews with

1032
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 1: have to have purvoll as mayor and all Democrats running council,

1033
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:24,800
Speaker 1: and this is their choice for city manager. They're not

1034
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 1: going to criticize themselves as the mayor for uh, for

1035
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:30,799
Speaker 1: maybe some errors things like police chief, THEGI and other

1036
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:32,359
Speaker 1: things that you and I might point to by way

1037
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 1: of criticism.

1038
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 9: Now, and this is why people are frustrated. The general

1039
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 9: public is no one, No one's asking for her head

1040
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 9: on a platter. All we're asking for is transparency and

1041
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:47,440
Speaker 9: if there's room for improvement, as we've seen there certainly.

1042
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 7: Is, why would you not address that? You know, that's

1043
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 7: that should be what part of government is.

1044
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:56,320
Speaker 9: We're using taxpayer dollars, you know, to fund people's salaries,

1045
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:57,800
Speaker 9: to fund projects.

1046
00:56:57,440 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 7: All these things.

1047
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 9: I think most people just want to try parentcy and hey,

1048
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:03,239
Speaker 9: we know you're human, we know you make mistakes. Here

1049
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 9: here's where your failures have been. Here's where we expect

1050
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 9: you to get better. And it just wasn't there. It

1051
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 9: just it's it should not have been a surprise. But

1052
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:14,440
Speaker 9: I'll be honest, I am disappointed that they didn't at

1053
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 9: least take.

1054
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 1: This more seriously, didn't take it more seriously in this

1055
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 1: comment about delivering a structurally balanced budget, I'm puzzling over

1056
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 1: that one, ken because I thought they were short on

1057
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 1: money and that they had a budget deficit. Any comment

1058
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 1: on that before we part company, Ken, Well, yeah.

1059
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 2: I do.

1060
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 9: I do find it interesting that one of those topics

1061
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 9: and there was fiscal health. Yet the city managers made

1062
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 9: it clear that I'm not even going to ask for

1063
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 9: a raise because we're going to be in a deficit. Yeah,

1064
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 9: and we're not sure we're going to ask city departments

1065
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 9: to cut money. But yet we've given away I just say.

1066
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 7: We they have given away what five million dollars.

1067
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 9: For west End reparations, you know, four hundred thousand dollars

1068
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 9: that they want to give to start a sports bar

1069
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 9: in west End.

1070
00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 7: I mean, these are things that just defy logic.

1071
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 9: When you're worried about balancing a budget and you're just

1072
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:07,560
Speaker 9: giving money away for things, It just it boggles my mind.

1073
00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 9: But having been here twenty six years, not much surprises me.

1074
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 9: I just continue to scratch my head at how silly

1075
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 9: some of these things are.

1076
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 1: Well, and you know, other points to bring up in

1077
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 1: terms of budget. They're funding a new solar panel array,

1078
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 1: which we all know it's important for the city to do,

1079
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:24,640
Speaker 1: and we've got the NGOs. Todd Zender's been tracking that

1080
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 1: literally millions and millions of dollars shelled out over a

1081
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 1: year after year after year for the same non governmental organizations.

1082
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 1: And we don't seem to have any understanding whether any

1083
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 1: of those non government organizations have accomplished anything and what

1084
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 1: they're using the money for. I mean, I don't know,

1085
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 1: I Ken, I saw.

1086
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 9: Actually, it's funny you say that I saw one of

1087
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:52,600
Speaker 9: those things, one of the NGOs that those of the

1088
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 9: needle needle Exchange program has gotten almost a million dollars

1089
00:58:58,280 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 9: over the.

1090
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 1: Last seven years, billion dollars.

1091
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:04,000
Speaker 7: It just it boggles my mind where all of the

1092
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:04,680
Speaker 7: waste is.

1093
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 9: And I just they said I shouldn't be surprised by it,

1094
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:10,480
Speaker 9: but yeah, it just makes me scratch my head when

1095
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 9: you look at these things. But it is ironic that,

1096
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:15,439
Speaker 9: you know, all of the labor unions for the City

1097
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:17,920
Speaker 9: of Cincinnati over the next year are going to be

1098
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 9: engaging in contract negotiations and all of a sudden arount

1099
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 9: of money.

1100
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 7: You know, it's the same tactic, just a different council.

1101
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 1: And on that note, FFP President Ken cob Or, thank

1102

Speaker 1: you for joining the program this morning. Always appreciate your

1103
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 1: willingness to do so point out some of the obvious

1104
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 1: disparities we have in the Sandy Manager review. Ken, have

1105
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 1: a wonderful day, and thank you on behalf of all

00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:50,200
Speaker 1: for all the residents of the City of Cincinnati. Kenkober

Speaker 1: on station six point fifty two fifty five care CD

1111
00:59:56,760 --> 01:00:03,919
Speaker 1: Talk Station, Happy Tuesday to you. It's mentioned in here. Yeah,

1112
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 1: the City Manager's glowing review from the City Council one

1113
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 1: of the points thriving neighborhoods continued to advance the Green

1114
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Plan strategic actions including launching the Center Hill Solar Farm,

1115
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 1: which they say will provide the equivalent of power of

1116
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 1: twelve hundred homes. They don't say what the cost of

1117
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:26,960
Speaker 1: the Center Hill Solar Farm is, what the maintenance and

1118
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 1: upkeep of the Center Hill Solar Farm is, but of

1119
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 1: course it's part of the Green Cincinnati Plan. Of course,

1120
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:34,240
Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnati on its own can reduce carbon

1121
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 1: output on the globe. That's right, like a flea urinating

1122
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 1: into the Pacific Ocean. Every little bit counts. Except I

1123
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:49,920
Speaker 1: just pivoted over to the war going on in Iran.

1124
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:53,720
Speaker 1: How much carbon did is the city going to remove

1125
01:00:53,800 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 1: from the environment with the Center Hill Solar Farm, and

1126
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 1: how much carbon and actual pollutants see because I don't

1127
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 1: believe plant food is actually a pollutant. It's a naturally

1128
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:10,200
Speaker 1: occurring phenomenon and it is necessary to sustain life on

1129
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:14,960
Speaker 1: this planet. But what I'm sure is the bombs being

1130
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:17,680
Speaker 1: dropped all over Iran and around the Middle East right

1131
01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:24,080
Speaker 1: now have far outweighed any negation from the Cincinnati Center

1132
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 1: Hills Solar far my wild I guess one single bomb

1133
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 1: dropped over there has eliminated any negation to the carbon

1134
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 1: dioxide from our atmosphere, but also put all kinds of

1135
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 1: real pollutants into the atmosphere. Yeah, I hate to state

1136
01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:42,160
Speaker 1: the obvious, but we're all breathing the same air, the

1137
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:47,120
Speaker 1: Iranians and the people of the city of Cincinnati. The

1138
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:49,080
Speaker 1: wind currents and all that kind of stuff. You know,

1139
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:53,440
Speaker 1: weather's brought here from far away parts, volcanoes, negate, all

1140
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 1: the carbon negation. In fact, that the wildfires that were raging,

1141
01:01:56,560 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 1: I believe it was in Canada, but we also had

1142
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 1: the California wildfires. But I believe it was the Canadian

1143
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:04,960
Speaker 1: wildfires widely reported to have eliminated all of the efforts

1144
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 1: by the entire state of California to negate carbon dioxide.

1145
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:12,000
Speaker 1: As I pointed out the five o'clock hour, you know,

1146
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 1: everybody's screaming about high gasoline prices. What all the green

1147
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 1: energy projects around the globe designed to get the high

1148
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:22,760
Speaker 1: get gasoline to go through the roof, and they're going

1149
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 1: to remain. I talked about the New York twenty nineteen

1150
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:28,480
Speaker 1: New York Plan. State of New York has these mandates

1151
01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 1: to get rid of carbon dioxide. The price of energy

1152
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 1: there has gone through the roof, and people are pulling

1153
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 1: their hair out, and the Democrats want to try to

1154
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:41,400
Speaker 1: roll that thing back. That's something they did intentionally. War

1155
01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:44,240
Speaker 1: has problems and ripple effects, and yeah, the Straight of

1156
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:46,440
Speaker 1: Horror Moves is gonna get shut down like it has

1157
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:49,920
Speaker 1: been shut down multiple times before. Yes, the price of

1158
01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 1: gasoline has gone up because of global conflict conflict previously,

1159
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:57,240
Speaker 1: like the moment the Russians invaded Ukraine, price of gas

1160
01:02:57,320 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 1: went through It went up the roof a lot higher

1161
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 1: than it is now. It came back down again. But

1162
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:07,640
Speaker 1: until someone shows up and repeals the very costly for

1163
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 1: the average American consumer. Legislation that is trying to remove

1164
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:16,720
Speaker 1: plant food from any given area, the prices aren't going

1165
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:19,720
Speaker 1: to go down. Where's the protests in the street over that? One?

1200
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:04,920
Speaker 1: background you have, and I appreciate your willingness to join

1201
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 1: the program this morning and to do the seminar tonight.

1202
01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show.

1203
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:11,320
Speaker 10: Well, thank you, Brian, thanks for having me. And I'm

1204
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:14,800
Speaker 10: particularly delighted to talk to you because you're a lawyer,

1205
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:20,240
Speaker 10: and my take on the declaration is lawyer oriented.

1206
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:23,520
Speaker 1: I get it, and you know, the cool thing about

1207
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:26,840
Speaker 1: it is and the notes suggested because you had an

1208
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 1: interesting quote from Abraham Lincoln speaking about the Constitution relative

1209
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 1: to the Declaration of Independence. But the Constitution was the

1210
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:39,200
Speaker 1: structure to protect and preserve and give form to the

1211
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:42,960
Speaker 1: Declaration's moral truth. That moral truth is that we are

1212
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 1: created equal, but we are endowed specifically with unalienable rights.

1213
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:49,040
Speaker 1: In other words, you're born with them and the government

1214
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 1: can't take them away, or only the government is in

1215
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 1: a position to take them away, something our colonists experience

1216
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:58,600
Speaker 1: under the thumb of oppression from England. We have God

1217
01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:01,360
Speaker 1: given rights. That's the point. This is sort of a

1218
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:04,840
Speaker 1: new concept in the world when the Declaration of Independence assigned.

1219
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:07,320
Speaker 2: That's exactly right.

1220
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:13,280
Speaker 10: And you just summarized what Walter Isaacson called the greatest

1221
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:16,760
Speaker 10: tentons ever written. And your listeners know the sentence, but

1222
01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:19,520
Speaker 10: I'm going to read it anyway. We hold these truths

1223
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:22,920
Speaker 10: to be self evident, that all men are created equal,

1224
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:26,680
Speaker 10: that they are endowed by the Creator with certain unailable

1225
01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:30,760
Speaker 10: rights that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit

1226
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 10: of happiness. And my talk tonight is going to be

1227
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:37,840
Speaker 10: about the relationship between those moral truths and the Constitution

1228
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:41,000
Speaker 10: of the United States, and how the Constitution is that

1229
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:45,920
Speaker 10: political architecture designed to effectuate the moral truth of the

1230
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:47,360
Speaker 10: Declaration of Independence.

1231
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:50,200
Speaker 1: Well, I always like to refer things as the state

1232
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 1: of nature, so like, for example, if we're discussing our

1233
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:56,040
Speaker 1: Second Amendment rights, which the Founders recognize most nutably since

1234
01:06:56,080 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 1: Britain tried to liberate everyone from their firearms and their

1235
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:01,240
Speaker 1: further ability to defend themselves. If you were born in

1236
01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:03,360
Speaker 1: the wild, there are no forms of government. You are

1237
01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:04,200
Speaker 1: there by yourself.

1238
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:04,680
Speaker 2: What do you have?

1239
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:07,840
Speaker 1: You have literally everything. You can worship who you want

1240
01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 1: to worship. You can defend yourself from the dangers that

1241
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:11,840
Speaker 1: may lurk around the corner with no one telling you

1242
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:14,160
Speaker 1: you can't. We could go on. There's no one there

1243
01:07:14,240 --> 01:07:17,400
Speaker 1: to intrude into your personal effects. And papers, on and

1244
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 1: on and on. Those are embodied in the Bill of Rights,

1245
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:20,960
Speaker 1: and I think they speak the truth. If you sort

1246
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 1: of put yourself in that position pre government, you are free,

1247
01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:28,320
Speaker 1: quite literally, And while we must have rules and laws

1248
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:31,440
Speaker 1: that may curb those freedoms in an ordered society, it

1249
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:37,320
Speaker 1: doesn't take away the fact that you have these inalienable rights, correct.

1250
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:41,160
Speaker 10: And the government is not supposed to infringe on our rights.

1251
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:46,040
Speaker 10: They're supposed to protect the rights that our creator and doubt.

1252
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:53,200
Speaker 1: Us with supposed to right. But also, i mean, let's

1253
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:55,760
Speaker 1: let's face it, this is the red light of the

1254
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:58,840
Speaker 1: sand and the gods and the and the Declaration of

1255
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:01,640
Speaker 1: Independence also points out listen basically and boiled down in

1256
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:04,400
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas's verbiage, you know, when you're fed up, when

1257
01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:07,480
Speaker 1: you can no longer tolerate the oppression, you're a feeling

1258
01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:11,280
Speaker 1: you have the right to overthrow that form of government.

1259
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 10: Exactly. And the Declaration, as my work documents, is grounded

1260
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:23,679
Speaker 10: in the political philosophy of John Locke, and his famous

1261
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:29,559
Speaker 10: contribution included the right to revolution when the government itself

1262
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:34,280
Speaker 10: can't be reformed and instead infringes on our rights and

1263
01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:35,560
Speaker 10: becomes tyrannical.

1264
01:08:36,280 --> 01:08:38,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, And isn't it interesting that the left, those who

1265
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:41,160
Speaker 1: seek to undermine the United States of America, given all

1266
01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:43,960
Speaker 1: of its wild success based on these freedoms. Wants to

1267
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:46,960
Speaker 1: put into its place something more along the American to

1268
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:51,720
Speaker 1: something socialist, which is, if nothing else, a complete eradicator

1269
01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:54,719
Speaker 1: of freedoms and liberties exactly.

1270
01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:59,879
Speaker 10: And another part of my talk is about Clarence Thomas'

1271
01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:05,000
Speaker 10: commitment to the Declaration of Independence. One of my books

1272
01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:07,400
Speaker 10: is about Clarence Thomas, and the reason I wrote the

1273
01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:10,759
Speaker 10: book was he had a shared interest in the connection

1274
01:09:10,920 --> 01:09:15,000
Speaker 10: between the Declaration and the Constitution. And his most famous

1275
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:21,040
Speaker 10: contribution to American jurisprudence, which we saw implemented in twenty

1276
01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:25,479
Speaker 10: twenty three, was that rights in the United States or

1277
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:28,719
Speaker 10: individual rights, not group rights. And that's why the Supreme

1278
01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:34,600
Speaker 10: Court declared it illegal to have race based admissions policies,

1279
01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:38,920
Speaker 10: for example, in the nation's colleges and universities.

1280
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:42,879
Speaker 1: One of the biggest failures I think in American education

1281
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:47,160
Speaker 1: is that young people were never really quite clearly taught

1282
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:51,439
Speaker 1: much beyond the just simple bait. We declared independence from Britain,

1283
01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:55,000
Speaker 1: and then they move on the reason for the declaration,

1284
01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:56,840
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people might not be

1285
01:09:56,880 --> 01:09:59,519
Speaker 1: aware that within the Declaration of Independence they outlined all

1286
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:02,879
Speaker 1: of the uses that they wanted to that were not addressed,

1287
01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:05,800
Speaker 1: and the reason for breaking away from and declaring independence

1288
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:10,320
Speaker 1: that we were literally abused, We were denied the ability

1289
01:10:10,360 --> 01:10:14,400
Speaker 1: to control our own destinies. We had the unreasonable searches

1290
01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:18,080
Speaker 1: and seizures, people kicking indoors, general warrants, the taking away

1291
01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:21,640
Speaker 1: of firearms, taxes without representation, on and on and on,

1292
01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:24,759
Speaker 1: all of these things again erosions into our freedoms and liberties.

1293
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:27,720
Speaker 1: Why don't they stress this to our young people in

1294
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:30,080
Speaker 1: school these days? So at least we have some understanding

1295
01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:33,160
Speaker 1: about the importance of the freedoms that the Declaration of

1296
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:36,200
Speaker 1: Independence brought to light, and that we're confirmed in the Constitution.

1297
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:41,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, exactly right. And it's not just our kids in

1298
01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:43,560
Speaker 10: school that don't know it. But I had a not

1299
01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:47,960
Speaker 10: bed a month ago or so in the Washington Times

1300
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 10: where I point out that the Chief Justice in the

1301
01:10:50,320 --> 01:10:54,720
Speaker 10: United States, John Roberts, doesn't even understand it. As you know,

1302
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:57,200
Speaker 10: at the end of every year he gives a State

1303
01:10:57,280 --> 01:11:00,760
Speaker 10: of the Federal Judiciary report to Congress, and so in

1304
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:05,040
Speaker 10: December he dedicated it to the Declaration of Independence because

1305
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:07,960
Speaker 10: of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary at the moment,

1306
01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:12,080
Speaker 10: and he said that the Declaration is just aspirational as

1307
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:16,360
Speaker 10: no role in legal interpretation and all of that, And

1308
01:11:16,479 --> 01:11:19,160
Speaker 10: of course I think that's dead wrong. I explain why

1309
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:22,840
Speaker 10: he's wrong in my off ed, But Clarence Thomas knows

1310
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:26,120
Speaker 10: he's dead wrong. And so my book about Clarence Thomas,

1311
01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:29,280
Speaker 10: that I'll also talk about a little bit tonight, explains

1312
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:33,680
Speaker 10: why Justice Thomas feels that the Declaration explains what.

1313
01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:36,639
Speaker 2: A quality means in America. All men are created equal.

1314
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:40,080
Speaker 10: But that's different than what the left is trying to

1315
01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:44,280
Speaker 10: do by shoving group rights theories down our throats. It's

1316
01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:49,200
Speaker 10: an individual right. Every individual is entitled to the fruits

1317
01:11:49,240 --> 01:11:51,679
Speaker 10: of his or her efforts and natural talents.

1318
01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:54,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's no I mean, this is the difference

1319
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:58,479
Speaker 1: between you know that freedom loving people and opportunity loving people.

1320
01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:03,640
Speaker 1: In those who think that this somehow establishes a guarantee,

1321
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:06,720
Speaker 1: like a government guarantee, that you are going to get

1322
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:09,400
Speaker 1: the happiness that you want to pursue that you I mean,

1323
01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:13,360
Speaker 1: some might I think if I use the word bastardize

1324
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 1: the language of the Constitution as well as Declaration of

1325
01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:19,639
Speaker 1: Independence to suggest that it is government's obligation to create

1326
01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:25,000
Speaker 1: some sort of equality among US citizens, most notably financial equality.

1327
01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:29,559
Speaker 10: Right, correct, it's not. We're supposed to be able, as

1328
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:32,160
Speaker 10: you pointed out, and as the language of the declaration

1329
01:12:32,400 --> 01:12:37,559
Speaker 10: makes obvious, pursue our happiness. The government doesn't give us things,

1330
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:41,080
Speaker 10: doesn't give us happiness, but it's not supposed to take

1331
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:43,960
Speaker 10: away things from us either. And so if I work

1332
01:12:44,040 --> 01:12:45,880
Speaker 10: hard than you, or you work harter than me, and

1333
01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:48,679
Speaker 10: you're smarter than me, and all of that, you're entitled

1334
01:12:48,760 --> 01:12:50,080
Speaker 10: to more than I am.

1335
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:53,519
Speaker 1: Well, And of course it's smart people that I go

1336
01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:56,519
Speaker 1: out and pursue and actually achieve that end up employing

1337
01:12:56,600 --> 01:12:58,360
Speaker 1: the rest of us out here, or maybe not quite

1338
01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:01,760
Speaker 1: capable of doing. It's got w two employee. I have

1339
01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:04,000
Speaker 1: always been, and I think those who've gone before me,

1340
01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:07,160
Speaker 1: who have provided employment opportunities for me throughout my life.

1341
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:09,200
Speaker 1: You know, some can and some can't, and God bless

1342
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:11,200
Speaker 1: the people who can, and that they are not impeded

1343
01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:13,400
Speaker 1: from doing so for the benefit of the entire country.

1344
01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:15,560
Speaker 1: Let us pivot over, because I know you're going to

1345
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:17,559
Speaker 1: mention it tonight in The Trafficker, which is your most

1346
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:20,240
Speaker 1: recent novel. Give me a little insight, because I understand

1347
01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:21,240
Speaker 1: it takes place in Ohio.

1348
01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:25,960
Speaker 10: Yeah, I appreciate you bringing that up. I'll talk about

1349
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:30,240
Speaker 10: that tonight as well. It's the origins of it are

1350
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:33,240
Speaker 10: as you pointed out in the intro. I've been on

1351
01:13:33,439 --> 01:13:36,559
Speaker 10: the Ohio Advisory Committee to the US Commission on Civil

1352
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:40,120
Speaker 10: Rights since two thousand and eight. That's a long time.

1353
01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:45,600
Speaker 10: And around twenty and fifteen we did an investigation and

1354
01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:49,600
Speaker 10: a report on human trafficking in Ohio and I was

1355
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:55,840
Speaker 10: shocked what I learned and the testimony of one of

1356
01:13:55,880 --> 01:13:58,360
Speaker 10: the witnesses, a woman who had been trafficked when she

1357
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:03,280
Speaker 10: was a child me and so I decided that I

1358
01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:06,120
Speaker 10: was going to write a novel about it because I

1359
01:14:06,240 --> 01:14:09,240
Speaker 10: thought that was the best way to reach people, to

1360
01:14:09,360 --> 01:14:13,280
Speaker 10: reach them emotionally and to try to, you know, bring

1361
01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:14,800
Speaker 10: this problem to light.

1362
01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:15,519
Speaker 2: It's shocking.

1363
01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:19,439
Speaker 10: Toledo is shockingly a hub of human trafficking in the

1364
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:23,080
Speaker 10: United States. Ohio is the second worst state in the

1365
01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:26,400
Speaker 10: country for human trafficking, if you can believe such a thing,

1366
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:30,960
Speaker 10: you know, Yeah, A thousand a thousand children a year

1367
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:35,840
Speaker 10: in Ohio are trafficked for sex. Fifteen hundred and foreign

1368
01:14:35,960 --> 01:14:40,720
Speaker 10: nationals are trafficked in Ohio every year for sex and

1369
01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:44,680
Speaker 10: I venture to say that, you know, every week or two,

1370
01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:48,439
Speaker 10: every one of us, when we're just walking around, going

1371
01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:52,880
Speaker 10: into a restaurant, going into a motel, we see someone

1372
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:54,680
Speaker 10: being traffic and we just don't know it.

1373
01:14:55,439 --> 01:14:55,599
Speaker 4: Right.

1374
01:14:56,320 --> 01:15:00,639
Speaker 10: And so January was National Human Trafficking Away Fareness Month,

1375
01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:03,120
Speaker 10: and it's been that by decree of the President of

1376
01:15:03,120 --> 01:15:06,519
Speaker 10: the United States since twenty ten. And so the novel

1377
01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:10,800
Speaker 10: came out in mid January and it's illegal thriller and

1378
01:15:10,960 --> 01:15:14,120
Speaker 10: luckily for me, so far the readers have not only

1379
01:15:14,280 --> 01:15:17,680
Speaker 10: understood the substance of message I'm trying to tell them

1380
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:21,880
Speaker 10: the story, but have kindly mentioned that the pages keep

1381
01:15:21,960 --> 01:15:24,840
Speaker 10: on turning, and so that's what that's what I'm trying

1382
01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:28,040
Speaker 10: to do. But so my novels are page turners, but

1383
01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:30,519
Speaker 10: I also want a substance of message in there.

1384
01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:33,719
Speaker 1: So, Scott Gerber, it is a work of fiction built

1385
01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:37,360
Speaker 1: around the realities of the situation in the state of Ohio.

1386
01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:41,000
Speaker 2: Exactly exactly real quick?

1387
01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 1: Is it? This I seventy five Corridor is one of

1388
01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:45,559
Speaker 1: the reasons why we're one of the most prominent states

1389
01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:47,559
Speaker 1: for trafficking or is there some of the reason Ohio

1390
01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:49,640
Speaker 1: has that nefarious label attached to it.

1391
01:15:51,120 --> 01:15:51,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that.

1392
01:15:52,400 --> 01:15:56,280
Speaker 10: And Toledo is it, you know, is a is a

1393
01:15:56,400 --> 01:16:00,439
Speaker 10: hub of you know, the highways going out towards Fago

1394
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:04,040
Speaker 10: and then up Canada, then over to Pennsylvania, all all

1395
01:16:04,120 --> 01:16:04,280
Speaker 10: of that.

1396
01:16:04,920 --> 01:16:07,599
Speaker 1: Oh, the horrors of that are just beyond just beyond

1397
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:11,720
Speaker 1: my capable understand capability of understanding tonight, Scott Gerber, it's

1398
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:15,240
Speaker 1: a log in only empower you America dot or just

1399
01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:17,519
Speaker 1: register ahead of time. Seven o'clock is the star time.

1400
01:16:17,560 --> 01:16:20,800
Speaker 1: It's going to be fascinating, I guess Scott, considering you're

1401
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:22,720
Speaker 1: talking about the Declaration of Independence and as well as

1402
01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:26,320
Speaker 1: a constitution in the history, you would probably welcome younger

1403
01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:29,479
Speaker 1: people joining in the fun and logging into to the seminar.

1404
01:16:32,680 --> 01:16:34,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. You broke up a little bit.

1405
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:35,960
Speaker 1: You're still there, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I just thinking it

1406
01:16:36,040 --> 01:16:37,639
Speaker 1: sounds to me like some younger people.

1407
01:16:37,880 --> 01:16:41,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yeah.

1408
01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:44,760
Speaker 10: As you pointed out, younger people aren't being taught enough

1409
01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:47,320
Speaker 10: about the declaration, and this is the two hundred and

1410
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:51,800
Speaker 10: fiftieth anniversary, and so tonight is a good opportunity for

1411
01:16:51,920 --> 01:16:53,920
Speaker 10: them to learn a little bit more about it in

1412
01:16:54,040 --> 01:16:57,720
Speaker 10: detail and to learn about the connection between the declaration

1413
01:16:58,240 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 10: and the Constitution and also to learn about how the

1414
01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:05,240
Speaker 10: most senior justice on the US Supreme Court how he

1415
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:06,120

Speaker 1: having you on the show.

1434
01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:53,400
Speaker 2: Good morning, Brian. It's great to see some spring weather

1435
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:55,759
Speaker 2: come and even though some that weather it's a little nasty,

1436
01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:58,599
Speaker 2: But boy, I'm shocked when I walk out and it's warm. Now,

1437
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:01,320
Speaker 2: you know, we're assulking this to be so cold. I

1438
01:18:01,520 --> 01:18:04,160
Speaker 2: the old man walked out to hide. It was like, wow,

1439
01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:05,840
Speaker 2: it's not cold. It was like, what is this?

1440
01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:09,120
Speaker 1: Yeah? I loved it this morning. Walked out and turned around,

1441
01:18:09,200 --> 01:18:11,559
Speaker 1: walked back in. Took my jacket off and didn't wear

1442
01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:13,720
Speaker 1: one this morning because it was so pleasant out. And

1443
01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:15,920
Speaker 1: the other thing being a dog lover and having to

1444
01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:20,000
Speaker 1: regularly babysit my grand doggie. So I got two Douberman's

1445
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:21,800
Speaker 1: in the house. I left the door open. They were

1446
01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:24,880
Speaker 1: free to come in and out. And thank god, no mud.

1447
01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:29,040
Speaker 1: The yard was dry. I've been wiping off dog feet now.

1448
01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:29,960
Speaker 1: It seems like forever.

1449
01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:35,639
Speaker 2: That's so true. Yeah, we lived near Park and boy,

1450
01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:39,000
Speaker 2: yesterday it's got like seventy two yesterday and it's just

1451
01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:41,600
Speaker 2: the place exploded with people and dods. I mean, it

1452
01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:45,639
Speaker 2: was so beautiful to just see everybody out, kids playing sat.

1453
01:18:45,960 --> 01:18:49,880
Speaker 1: Yeah you mentioned the kids, because I'm driving up and

1454
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:51,680
Speaker 1: down the street last several days and the kids are

1455
01:18:51,720 --> 01:18:53,800
Speaker 1: out on their bikes and mom and dad walking around

1456
01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:55,880
Speaker 1: and doin. That really put a smile on my face

1457
01:18:55,920 --> 01:18:58,599
Speaker 1: and like, yeah, things back to normal. Everybody's emerged from

1458
01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:02,120
Speaker 1: their their hiding place, so good. I'm glad we started

1459
01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:05,040
Speaker 1: on a real positive note and pivoting over. I was

1460
01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:10,639
Speaker 1: fortunate yesterday Ohio State represented a DJ Sweringen, who's from

1461
01:19:10,680 --> 01:19:12,880
Speaker 1: the Huron area, was on the program to talk about

1462
01:19:12,920 --> 01:19:16,280
Speaker 1: his introduction of Holly's Law, which is to dress low

1463
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:18,439
Speaker 1: bonds here in the state of Ohio because we have

1464
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:21,240
Speaker 1: all these woke judges who are letting very very dangerous

1465
01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:23,720
Speaker 1: people out who end up punching people like Holly in

1466
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:26,760
Speaker 1: the face. And we had Holly on as well. But

1467
01:19:27,439 --> 01:19:29,639
Speaker 1: I was shocked and I was talking to my executive producer,

1468
01:19:29,720 --> 01:19:33,120
Speaker 1: Joe Strecker about it. DJ Sweringen's coming on the program.

1469
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:36,960
Speaker 1: We can't get anybody from Columbus, most notably local people

1470
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:38,800
Speaker 1: here in southwest Ohio, to come on the fifty five

1471
01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:41,000
Speaker 1: KCSE Mornings to talk about matters impacting the state of

1472
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:43,040
Speaker 1: Ohio and all the local residents. Why in the hell

1473
01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:45,120
Speaker 1: is that, I know that's your first top of your conversation.

1474
01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:47,280
Speaker 1: Why are they scared to talk to the media.

1475
01:19:48,479 --> 01:19:51,479
Speaker 2: You know, Brian something, you know it's just not you

1476
01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:56,280
Speaker 2: that you're noticing this something major has changed because he

1477
01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:58,680
Speaker 2: used to be able to get him on. They were

1478
01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:01,120
Speaker 2: anxious to get on. But I think there's a couple

1479
01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:04,439
Speaker 2: of things that play here. One is social media. You know.

1480
01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:07,160
Speaker 2: Now they think, well, I'll just post something on Facebook

1481
01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:09,800
Speaker 2: and I'll only answer the questions I want to answer, right,

1482
01:20:09,840 --> 01:20:13,000
Speaker 2: I'll block the people that ask inconvenient questions, you know.

1483
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:15,599
Speaker 2: And and they don't even do as many town halls

1484
01:20:15,600 --> 01:20:17,519
Speaker 2: as they used to. You know, they don't go on

1485
01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:21,439
Speaker 2: the radio, they don't they they disappear. We elect them

1486
01:20:21,520 --> 01:20:24,080
Speaker 2: and they disappear. I used to say to people all

1487
01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:28,000
Speaker 2: the time, you couldn't find out what your Ohio House

1488
01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:31,240
Speaker 2: or Senate members voting record was. Is your life dependent

1489
01:20:31,280 --> 01:20:34,360
Speaker 2: on it? You really can't. How do you know how

1490
01:20:34,640 --> 01:20:37,040
Speaker 2: you can't find out what bills are coming up? You

1491
01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:40,040
Speaker 2: go on their website on the you know, the house

1492
01:20:40,120 --> 01:20:42,320
Speaker 2: website or like that, and you can kind of see,

1493
01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:44,920
Speaker 2: you know, the bills that are going through. But if

1494
01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:47,040
Speaker 2: you want to say, well, is my you know, my

1495
01:20:47,240 --> 01:20:52,240
Speaker 2: reps voting record conservative or are liberal or neutral? You

1496
01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:54,840
Speaker 2: can you can find it because they do that at

1497
01:20:54,880 --> 01:20:59,280
Speaker 2: the federal level, right Heritage, the NRA, you know, you know,

1498
01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:03,400
Speaker 2: people like that do rankings at a federal level, but

1499
01:21:03,560 --> 01:21:06,360
Speaker 2: the state level, we just don't have the tools. And

1500
01:21:06,479 --> 01:21:08,240
Speaker 2: so if they don't come on the radio and talk

1501
01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:11,400
Speaker 2: to you correct, do you know where they stand on anything?

1502
01:21:12,240 --> 01:21:14,840
Speaker 1: That's a good point. And at least with social media,

1503
01:21:14,840 --> 01:21:17,080
Speaker 1: they get to control the narrative on any given topic.

1504
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:19,600
Speaker 1: They choose what topic they want to chime in on,

1505
01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:21,720
Speaker 1: and while we out here might want to ask a

1506
01:21:21,840 --> 01:21:24,839
Speaker 1: question about what do you plan on doing if, for example,

1507
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:29,439
Speaker 1: the Hiowan's vote to constitutionally amend the constitution to eradicate

1508
01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:31,840
Speaker 1: property taxes, how do you think you're going to deal

1509
01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:34,679
Speaker 1: with that? Or what is your feeling on property taxes?

1510
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:36,680
Speaker 1: These are questions I think a lot of us want

1511
01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:39,639
Speaker 1: to get answered, most notably given that the ballot initiative

1512
01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:41,960
Speaker 1: is being circulated. But if they don't want to talk

1513
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:45,120
Speaker 1: about it, hiding, not volunteering anything on it, they don't

1514
01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:45,400
Speaker 1: have to.

1515
01:21:46,479 --> 01:21:49,679
Speaker 2: Well, and it's even worse. Okay, let's say this story

1516
01:21:49,680 --> 01:21:53,760
Speaker 2: because this blew my mind. Think about this. We tell

1517
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:57,320
Speaker 2: our people call your representative rights, your representative right.

1518
01:21:57,400 --> 01:21:59,320
Speaker 1: Yes I do, and I've always right.

1519
01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:00,920
Speaker 2: I do it all the time, and it's important and

1520
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:03,280
Speaker 2: you have to do that. But they also we know

1521
01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:06,320
Speaker 2: they'd never answered. You know, they don't you know, you

1522
01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:08,640
Speaker 2: don't know how what they're you know, really how much

1523
01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:10,960
Speaker 2: they're getting, how many of these emails or calls are getting.

1524
01:22:11,200 --> 01:22:13,880
Speaker 2: So one time, there's a really important bill going on

1525
01:22:14,160 --> 01:22:16,280
Speaker 2: and the Weed of People Convention, we were going to

1526
01:22:16,360 --> 01:22:19,440
Speaker 2: do a foya to get you know, all the representatives

1527
01:22:19,479 --> 01:22:23,080
Speaker 2: in the US strips like House members to say, you know,

1528
01:22:23,360 --> 01:22:26,160
Speaker 2: what has been the response, how many vocals have you

1529
01:22:26,240 --> 01:22:30,719
Speaker 2: gotten for this issue. You can't foil them, You're not allowed.

1530
01:22:31,320 --> 01:22:34,280
Speaker 2: They don't have to tell you. They don't have to

1531
01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:38,040
Speaker 2: tell you anything about what kind of response they're getting

1532
01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:43,920
Speaker 2: from their members. And I thought, my goodness, where's representative government.

1533
01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:47,200
Speaker 2: How are we getting represented when they should have a

1534
01:22:47,400 --> 01:22:51,160
Speaker 2: dashboard for every Ohio House member and Center member that says,

1535
01:22:51,400 --> 01:22:53,519
Speaker 2: here's what the phone calls are, the letters that were

1536
01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:55,120
Speaker 2: coming in or the you know, they have these little

1537
01:22:55,120 --> 01:22:58,519
Speaker 2: web forms now about what issues and how many are

1538
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:00,280
Speaker 2: for it and how many it gets it so you

1539
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:04,160
Speaker 2: could see how much your representative votes against the will

1540
01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:08,120
Speaker 2: of the people. It doesn't exist, Brian, in today's age

1541
01:23:08,200 --> 01:23:11,559
Speaker 2: with AI and all the technology, why doesn't that exist

1542
01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:14,680
Speaker 2: because they don't want you to know. That's why it

1543
01:23:14,720 --> 01:23:15,360
Speaker 2: doesn't exist.

1544
01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:18,000
Speaker 1: Frightening stuff and a representative form of government. We're going

1545
01:23:18,040 --> 01:23:20,880
Speaker 1: to continue with Tom Zawastowsko on this as well as, Uh,

1546
01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:23,479

Speaker 1: of an ICE rally? I know that it's something you

Speaker 1: as the Daniel Davis Deep dive retired lieutenant colonel on

1557
01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:52,880
Speaker 1: the situation in Iran in the meantime, We the People

1558
01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:56,080
Speaker 1: Convention dot Org. Tom Zawastowski's on the program. Hey Tom,

1559
01:23:56,120 --> 01:23:58,840
Speaker 1: real quick here. I have a conversation with Jack Windsor

1560
01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:01,479
Speaker 1: from the High Press Network on Fridays, and I just

1561
01:24:01,560 --> 01:24:03,040
Speaker 1: wanted to get your take before we pivot over to

1562
01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:07,800
Speaker 1: the Ice situation. What is your take on the idea

1563
01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:10,920
Speaker 1: that the Republican Party is endorsing candidates in advance of

1564
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:15,080
Speaker 1: the primary. I didn't really take a whole lot of

1565
01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:17,400
Speaker 1: issue with the endorsement of Viva Ramaswami at the time,

1566
01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:19,360
Speaker 1: and I kind of felt that they did that in

1567
01:24:19,520 --> 01:24:22,479
Speaker 1: order to avoid having the expenditure of a primary when

1568
01:24:22,520 --> 01:24:24,479
Speaker 1: he was so far ahead in the polling. I guess

1569
01:24:24,520 --> 01:24:26,400
Speaker 1: they thought it was a foregone conclusion of why go

1570
01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:30,719
Speaker 1: through the exercise and burn through limited resources and dollars.

1571
01:24:31,200 --> 01:24:33,240
Speaker 1: But it seems to become a growing phenomenon, and I

1572
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:34,800
Speaker 1: know it's rubbed a lot of people the wrong way,

1573
01:24:34,880 --> 01:24:37,960
Speaker 1: most notably in connection with the Marcel Sturbage race. So

1574
01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:39,320
Speaker 1: what's your take on that, Tom?

1575
01:24:40,240 --> 01:24:44,160
Speaker 2: Well? Two things. First of all, generally the grassroots the

1576
01:24:44,240 --> 01:24:47,680
Speaker 2: Tea Party, we've been absolutely against that. We feel we

1577
01:24:47,760 --> 01:24:50,360
Speaker 2: should choose our candidates in the primary. That's the only

1578
01:24:50,479 --> 01:24:52,840
Speaker 2: chance we get, and of course we never get to

1579
01:24:52,920 --> 01:24:55,280
Speaker 2: do that. On the other side, I have to say

1580
01:24:55,520 --> 01:24:59,040
Speaker 2: I literally read the charge for them to endorse with

1581
01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:02,240
Speaker 2: ak Bramaswami. But that's what the reason you said, because

1582
01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:04,360
Speaker 2: what I was trying to do with the Veke is.

1583
01:25:04,760 --> 01:25:07,800
Speaker 2: I felt that the Wine and those guys were kind

1584
01:25:07,800 --> 01:25:11,000
Speaker 2: of set it up to have Jim Tressel run against

1585
01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:14,320
Speaker 2: the Vekee because you could get a whole bunch of

1586
01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:19,200
Speaker 2: Democrat football fans to vote in the Republican primary to

1587
01:25:19,360 --> 01:25:22,240
Speaker 2: elect him, okay, And so I wanted them to endorse

1588
01:25:22,360 --> 01:25:25,760
Speaker 2: the Veake to keep that from happening. And we were successful,

1589
01:25:26,080 --> 01:25:27,960
Speaker 2: and that's why I did that. But that tells you

1590
01:25:28,040 --> 01:25:30,640
Speaker 2: a lot about the party and the other way it is,

1591
01:25:30,720 --> 01:25:33,960
Speaker 2: how rigged everything is right, So you're damned if you do,

1592
01:25:34,200 --> 01:25:36,599
Speaker 2: you're damn if you don't. And so in the situation

1593
01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:40,920
Speaker 2: we got, now you know they didn't. They endorsed in

1594
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:48,439
Speaker 2: the Sturbos race with Rob McCall and not recall with Sprague. Okay,

1595
01:25:48,720 --> 01:25:52,080
Speaker 2: you know who's an income and he's in the house guy.

1596
01:25:52,160 --> 01:25:55,840
Speaker 2: He's a party guy, and Marcel's an outside guy. So

1597
01:25:55,960 --> 01:25:58,400
Speaker 2: they endorsed in that race. But then you got jay

1598
01:25:58,920 --> 01:26:03,680
Speaker 2: uh Jay Edwards running against Christina Rogner for treasurer. And

1599
01:26:04,360 --> 01:26:06,920
Speaker 2: Jay Edwards one of the Blue twenty two. He's one

1600
01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:10,240
Speaker 2: of the people who took the Democratic Union money not

1601
01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:16,920
Speaker 2: to destroy our Republican super majority, and they wouldn't endorse

1602
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:21,200
Speaker 2: Christina Rogner against him because JD. Vance and Bernie Marino

1603
01:26:21,600 --> 01:26:24,720
Speaker 2: are pushing Jay Edwards and you go, what the heck

1604
01:26:24,880 --> 01:26:25,360
Speaker 2: is going on?

1605
01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:25,920
Speaker 1: Right?

1606
01:26:26,040 --> 01:26:29,400
Speaker 2: What is this really about? And it's about you know,

1607
01:26:29,600 --> 01:26:33,719
Speaker 2: inside baseball, it's about money. I'm expecting that Jay Edwards

1608
01:26:33,760 --> 01:26:36,639
Speaker 2: is going to be getting lots of money from outside groups,

1609
01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:41,000
Speaker 2: and that worries me. Christina Rogner, Oh my gosh, I

1610
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:42,439
Speaker 2: don't know if you know her, if you've had her on,

1611
01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:45,280
Speaker 2: If you haven't, please have her on. She is just

1612
01:26:45,439 --> 01:26:49,599
Speaker 2: the most rock solid conservative you can possibly have. She's

1613
01:26:49,640 --> 01:26:54,000
Speaker 2: from Ironicalay Hudson, Okay, and she's been a House member,

1614
01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:57,400
Speaker 2: she's been a state senator now and she's running for treasure.

1615
01:26:57,800 --> 01:27:01,240
Speaker 2: She's really big in the life of in the pro

1616
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:05,439
Speaker 2: life knows Christina Rogner. I'm telling you, Christina Roger has

1617
01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:10,160
Speaker 2: stood next to Tom Zawastowski in the freezing cold, holding

1618
01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:13,759
Speaker 2: signs to fight for life, to fight for Donald Trump,

1619
01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:16,960
Speaker 2: to fight for your conservative candidates. She has walked and

1620
01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:21,120
Speaker 2: knocked doors. She's the real deal. They didn't endorse her.

1621
01:27:21,720 --> 01:27:24,040
Speaker 2: They said, well, we can't endorse in that race. That

1622
01:27:24,240 --> 01:27:25,200
Speaker 2: scares the heck out of me.

1623
01:27:25,360 --> 01:27:26,800
Speaker 1: Well, you know that's kind of why I wanted to

1624
01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:28,400
Speaker 1: wind you up and let you go on that one, Tom,

1625
01:27:28,400 --> 01:27:31,920
Speaker 1: because you're expressing the frustrations that I hear regularly from

1626
01:27:31,960 --> 01:27:36,200
Speaker 1: many listeners to the fifty five KC Morning Show. I've

1627
01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:38,960
Speaker 1: always just sort of stood in wonder, how in the

1628
01:27:39,040 --> 01:27:42,320
Speaker 1: hell is it in a red state like Ohio the

1629
01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:45,400
Speaker 1: Republican Party can't collectively get its act together and work

1630
01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:48,320
Speaker 1: for us, you know, lowering taxes or you know, improving

1631
01:27:48,360 --> 01:27:51,559
Speaker 1: business conditions, reducing the regulatory burden, going after fraud, waste

1632
01:27:51,560 --> 01:27:55,000
Speaker 1: and abuse, all red meat, core conservative in issues that

1633
01:27:55,360 --> 01:27:57,960
Speaker 1: just seem to be ignored by the Republican Party generally speaking.

1634
01:27:59,160 --> 01:28:01,519
Speaker 2: Well, so two things you know, which I don't know

1635
01:28:01,520 --> 01:28:04,720
Speaker 2: if people may not remember, I actually ran to be

1636
01:28:04,880 --> 01:28:08,280
Speaker 2: chairman of the Republican Party, like back in twenty ten,

1637
01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:12,160
Speaker 2: all right, because it was so rigged that this is

1638
01:28:12,200 --> 01:28:14,200
Speaker 2: when Matt Borgius was going to run to be the

1639
01:28:14,479 --> 01:28:17,280
Speaker 2: chairman after Kasik one in a case of want to

1640
01:28:17,320 --> 01:28:20,040
Speaker 2: take over the party, and he ran for chairman and

1641
01:28:20,240 --> 01:28:23,599
Speaker 2: nobody else was running, and they said, well, nobody else

1642
01:28:23,640 --> 01:28:26,600
Speaker 2: wants the job. I'm like, nobody in the state of

1643
01:28:26,640 --> 01:28:28,920
Speaker 2: Ohio wants to be chairman of the Republican Party. But

1644
01:28:29,080 --> 01:28:31,200
Speaker 2: this guy, and it pays like one hundred and forty

1645
01:28:31,240 --> 01:28:35,120
Speaker 2: thousand dollars a year. So I ran. I ran, just

1646
01:28:35,240 --> 01:28:39,080
Speaker 2: to challenge them. You wouldn't believe how corrupt it was.

1647
01:28:39,439 --> 01:28:43,479
Speaker 2: I mean literally, none of the sixty six state you know,

1648
01:28:43,720 --> 01:28:46,840
Speaker 2: our central committee members would even talk to me on

1649
01:28:46,960 --> 01:28:51,599
Speaker 2: the vote before the election. Okay, and I got seven votes,

1650
01:28:51,840 --> 01:28:54,000
Speaker 2: But honest to guy, your people are gonna laugh. All

1651
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:56,559
Speaker 2: you guys drinking your copy out put it down. They

1652
01:28:56,760 --> 01:28:59,200
Speaker 2: made everyone that came with me, the sixty six members

1653
01:28:59,200 --> 01:29:01,840
Speaker 2: are going to vote, they made them sign in in

1654
01:29:02,600 --> 01:29:06,720
Speaker 2: longhand inscursive, and then when they did the vote, they

1655
01:29:06,800 --> 01:29:09,240
Speaker 2: made them write who they were voting for. They made

1656
01:29:09,280 --> 01:29:11,880
Speaker 2: them write their names on a piece of paper because

1657
01:29:11,920 --> 01:29:14,639
Speaker 2: they wanted to match the signatures to see who supported

1658
01:29:14,760 --> 01:29:17,160
Speaker 2: me and who didn't so they could drive them out

1659
01:29:17,160 --> 01:29:17,639
Speaker 2: of the party.

1660
01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:21,000
Speaker 1: Oh my god, not that, Johns.

1661
01:29:21,040 --> 01:29:22,880
Speaker 2: That was true. And I said, and I said to

1662
01:29:22,960 --> 01:29:25,240
Speaker 2: the media, I said, if I were elected to be

1663
01:29:25,360 --> 01:29:28,960
Speaker 2: chairman of the Higher Republican Party. The next day, their

1664
01:29:29,040 --> 01:29:32,519
Speaker 2: chief financial officer we found floating dead in the Siota River,

1665
01:29:32,760 --> 01:29:35,320
Speaker 2: and their headquarters we burned to the ground because they

1666
01:29:35,360 --> 01:29:38,800
Speaker 2: would never want us to see their financial records because

1667
01:29:38,800 --> 01:29:41,519
Speaker 2: of what they do in laundering money. That's how bad

1668
01:29:41,560 --> 01:29:44,880
Speaker 2: it is, Brian. So it's a private country club and

1669
01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:47,240
Speaker 2: if you want to play on their quarters, you got

1670
01:29:47,320 --> 01:29:49,599
Speaker 2: to play by their rules. And so I know people

1671
01:29:49,680 --> 01:29:52,320
Speaker 2: were frustrated, but that's why I wish more people would

1672
01:29:52,360 --> 01:29:54,800
Speaker 2: run as independents and we wouldn't have to play these

1673
01:29:55,160 --> 01:29:55,960
Speaker 2: stupid games.

1674
01:29:56,200 --> 01:29:59,280
Speaker 1: Tom Dalathaskana, you're also frustrated by conservatives not showing up

1675
01:29:59,320 --> 01:30:01,760
Speaker 1: in supportive I we'll talk about that one more with

1676
01:30:01,880 --> 01:30:04,479
Speaker 1: we the People Conventions. Tom's Awastowski. After I mentioned my

1689
01:30:32,680 --> 01:30:35,040
Speaker 1: Tom's Awastowski from We the People convention. One of the

1690
01:30:35,080 --> 01:30:36,519
Speaker 1: topics you want to talk about this morning. I know

1691
01:30:36,560 --> 01:30:40,200
Speaker 1: you addressed it in your podcast, lack of support from

1692
01:30:40,280 --> 01:30:44,360
Speaker 1: conservatives for the ICE agents. What's the story on this one, Tom.

1693
01:30:45,560 --> 01:30:48,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is an interesting story because it's it starts

1694
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:51,800
Speaker 2: with you radio guys, because you're so creative. We got

1695
01:30:51,840 --> 01:30:54,519
Speaker 2: a guy up here in northeast Ohio named Bob France

1696
01:30:54,560 --> 01:30:58,160
Speaker 2: who is on He's the top conservative radio host in

1697
01:30:58,320 --> 01:31:02,080
Speaker 2: Cleveland area for eleven years until Salem Radio fired him

1698
01:31:02,120 --> 01:31:04,360
Speaker 2: two weeks before Christmas about the warning. You know how

1699
01:31:04,400 --> 01:31:07,679
Speaker 2: that goes. But anyway, he started a podcast called Strictly

1700
01:31:07,800 --> 01:31:10,920
Speaker 2: Speaking and he calls me up one day and he goes,

1701
01:31:11,840 --> 01:31:15,920
Speaker 2: I want to have an event to support ICE and

1702
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:18,439
Speaker 2: I go, wow, now, okay, he said, we do that

1703
01:31:18,560 --> 01:31:20,400
Speaker 2: with me. Will you be with me? And I said sure.

1704
01:31:20,720 --> 01:31:22,840
Speaker 2: I said that sounds like a good idea. And then

1705
01:31:22,880 --> 01:31:24,599
Speaker 2: he calls me a little water and he says, Tom,

1706
01:31:24,640 --> 01:31:27,120
Speaker 2: you know, I have looked all over the internet. I

1707
01:31:27,200 --> 01:31:31,280
Speaker 2: have looked searchs everywhere I can go. I can't find

1708
01:31:31,400 --> 01:31:35,679
Speaker 2: another event in the country. Where anybody stood with life,

1709
01:31:35,680 --> 01:31:39,120
Speaker 2: where anybody did a fundraiser for ICE. And I was

1710
01:31:39,240 --> 01:31:41,880
Speaker 2: shocked by that. And so we had an event on

1711
01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:44,439
Speaker 2: Friday night and you mentioned Jack Windsor. Our good friend

1712
01:31:44,520 --> 01:31:46,360
Speaker 2: Jack Vindsor was going to be one of the speakers.

1713
01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:48,360
Speaker 2: And we had a guy named Peter Curseon and I

1714
01:31:48,560 --> 01:31:51,160
Speaker 2: was a civil rights attorney, and then Bob and myself

1715
01:31:51,439 --> 01:31:55,439
Speaker 2: and our Sheriff Zukowski from Porge County, who's awesome, and

1716
01:31:55,560 --> 01:31:58,080
Speaker 2: we had a great event. We had hundreds of people

1717
01:31:58,200 --> 01:32:01,200
Speaker 2: show up, they donated, We were raised money for the

1718
01:32:01,640 --> 01:32:06,120
Speaker 2: It's called the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, which provides

1719
01:32:06,360 --> 01:32:10,360
Speaker 2: like help for the families, help provide suicide prevention for

1720
01:32:10,479 --> 01:32:14,240
Speaker 2: federal officers, and just for helpful the health and wellness

1721
01:32:14,520 --> 01:32:16,920
Speaker 2: of their families. Because after what's going on with Ice,

1722
01:32:17,120 --> 01:32:20,080
Speaker 2: can you imagine how bad that is. And we had

1723
01:32:20,160 --> 01:32:23,120
Speaker 2: an event where we just talked about stand with Ice,

1724
01:32:23,520 --> 01:32:27,080
Speaker 2: and my section my five minutes speech, I said, why

1725
01:32:27,160 --> 01:32:31,200
Speaker 2: do we have to stand with Ice? Because Ice represents

1726
01:32:31,400 --> 01:32:36,400
Speaker 2: our country, meaning the United States is about being ruled

1727
01:32:36,439 --> 01:32:39,719
Speaker 2: by law and not men and women. It's about equal

1728
01:32:39,960 --> 01:32:43,920
Speaker 2: enforcement of the law. And without Ice, we don't have

1729
01:32:43,960 --> 01:32:48,920
Speaker 2: a country, they have to deport the illegals because that's

1730
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:52,600
Speaker 2: what the rule of law means. And we as conservatives

1731
01:32:52,960 --> 01:32:57,600
Speaker 2: need to understand that supporting ICE is supporting ourselves, our constitution,

1732
01:32:58,080 --> 01:33:00,680
Speaker 2: and the American way of life. And if you just

1733
01:33:01,160 --> 01:33:03,599
Speaker 2: throw them to the wolves, if you just end Ice,

1734
01:33:04,240 --> 01:33:07,840
Speaker 2: you just ended America. So we stood with Ice, and

1735
01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:10,040
Speaker 2: we're very proud of that. And if you go to

1736
01:33:10,160 --> 01:33:13,320
Speaker 2: We the People Convention dot org, you'll see a button

1737
01:33:13,400 --> 01:33:16,280
Speaker 2: for the podcast, and as you mentioned, the first three

1738
01:33:16,360 --> 01:33:19,160
Speaker 2: minutes of the podcast, I explain why we should stand

1739
01:33:19,200 --> 01:33:20,800
Speaker 2: with Ice, and then there's a link that you can

1740
01:33:20,880 --> 01:33:23,000
Speaker 2: buy a t shirt that says ICE Stand with Ice

1741
01:33:23,200 --> 01:33:25,960
Speaker 2: for twenty five dollars and if you buy a t shirt,

1742
01:33:26,520 --> 01:33:29,880
Speaker 2: that money will go towards the Central Law Enforcement Officers

1743
01:33:29,920 --> 01:33:34,839
Speaker 2: Association to help them keep ICE going. Because ladies and gentlemen,

1744
01:33:35,400 --> 01:33:38,040
Speaker 2: we got to stand with Ice. They are holding our

1745
01:33:38,120 --> 01:33:41,360
Speaker 2: country together and enforcing the law. No matter what the

1746
01:33:41,439 --> 01:33:44,160
Speaker 2: Dems tell you, they're on our side, and we got

1747
01:33:44,240 --> 01:33:44,400
Speaker 2: to be.

1748
01:33:44,439 --> 01:33:46,720
Speaker 1: On their side well and learn from other's mistakes. The

1749
01:33:46,800 --> 01:33:50,160
Speaker 1: cautionary tale that's unfolding in Western Europe should be a

1750
01:33:50,240 --> 01:33:51,880
Speaker 1: real wake up call for the United States, and I

1751
01:33:51,920 --> 01:33:53,879
Speaker 1: think Donald Trump one of the reasons for the crackdown

1752
01:33:54,080 --> 01:33:57,320
Speaker 1: is exactly that Joe Biden's open borders led twenty or

1753
01:33:57,360 --> 01:34:00,799
Speaker 1: so million people in including eighteen thousand no own got aways,

1754
01:34:00,880 --> 01:34:03,839
Speaker 1: many of whom are concerned that those might be terrorist

1755
01:34:03,920 --> 01:34:07,120
Speaker 1: cells or terrorist operatives. That's certainly a possibility, but just

1756
01:34:07,200 --> 01:34:10,320
Speaker 1: the erosion of culture. Generally speaking, in the old days,

1757
01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:12,880
Speaker 1: we used to have assimilation and kind of the reason

1758
01:34:12,960 --> 01:34:15,120
Speaker 1: it's difficult to become a citizen is because you've got

1759
01:34:15,200 --> 01:34:16,800
Speaker 1: to go through a bunch of hoops and hurdles about

1760
01:34:16,880 --> 01:34:20,200
Speaker 1: learning about nations history and a move towards assimilation that

1761
01:34:20,360 --> 01:34:23,200
Speaker 1: is not occurring when you have open borders. And clearly

1762
01:34:23,280 --> 01:34:25,479
Speaker 1: we can see that with the results going on, like

1763
01:34:25,520 --> 01:34:28,080
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis, for example, in other communities that seem to

1764
01:34:28,160 --> 01:34:30,920
Speaker 1: isolate themselves and have nothing to want to do with

1765
01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:32,639
Speaker 1: the American culture or way of life.

1766
01:34:33,800 --> 01:34:36,679
Speaker 2: Well, that's true. And while you know, people some people

1767
01:34:36,920 --> 01:34:40,000
Speaker 2: don't like the tactics and all that, you know, my

1768
01:34:40,160 --> 01:34:43,120
Speaker 2: point is how easy could it be to say to

1769
01:34:43,479 --> 01:34:46,519
Speaker 2: fifteen million people, you're here illegal. You got to give out.

1770
01:34:46,960 --> 01:34:50,360
Speaker 2: And I just think it's disgusting that the Democrats and

1771
01:34:50,840 --> 01:34:53,920
Speaker 2: President Trump and Stay Millner's guys at a fabuloshop as

1772
01:34:53,960 --> 01:34:57,040
Speaker 2: a state of union, do you stand with the American people?

1773
01:34:57,080 --> 01:34:59,720
Speaker 2: And you stand with ewigual Alias and the Democrats sat

1774
01:34:59,760 --> 01:35:03,439
Speaker 2: on their our hands and said, we support illegals. That's

1775
01:35:03,560 --> 01:35:06,600
Speaker 2: the problem. Donald Trump is fixing it and we have

1776
01:35:06,720 --> 01:35:08,840
Speaker 2: to support Ice because they're the ones that have to

1777
01:35:08,920 --> 01:35:09,760
Speaker 2: get the job done.

1778
01:35:10,120 --> 01:35:12,160

1789
01:35:40,680 --> 01:35:43,000
Speaker 1: I always start by recommending bright bart dot com be

1793
01:35:52,439 --> 01:35:55,400
Speaker 1: the economics editor. It's a great heaving and back on

1794
01:35:55,479 --> 01:35:57,519
Speaker 1: the program, John Carney, welcome back to the Morning Show.

1795
01:35:57,600 --> 01:35:58,880
Speaker 1: Good to have you on as always.

1796
01:35:59,600 --> 01:35:59,920
Speaker 4: Is he there?

1797
01:36:00,600 --> 01:36:02,320
Speaker 2: Thank you, yes, sure, thanks for having me.

1798
01:36:02,560 --> 01:36:04,439
Speaker 1: I know it's always good heaving you on. John. So

1799
01:36:04,600 --> 01:36:07,240
Speaker 1: the economic impact, everybody's pulling their hair out. Oh my god,

1800
01:36:07,280 --> 01:36:09,519
Speaker 1: the Strait of Horror Moves is shut down. Obviously, oil

1801
01:36:09,560 --> 01:36:12,200
Speaker 1: has impacted. Twenty percent of the world's consumption goes through

1802
01:36:12,240 --> 01:36:15,120
Speaker 1: the Strait of horror Moves. We've been down this road before, John,

1803
01:36:15,200 --> 01:36:17,439
Speaker 1: We've had the Straight of Hormuves shut down. We've also

1804
01:36:17,560 --> 01:36:20,800
Speaker 1: experienced massive increases in very short periods of time, like

1805
01:36:20,880 --> 01:36:24,200
Speaker 1: when Russia invaded Ukraine. Actually the price of gas increased

1806
01:36:24,240 --> 01:36:29,040
Speaker 1: more during that episode that passed as well. I can

1807
01:36:29,120 --> 01:36:30,720
Speaker 1: only guess the Strait of horror Moves is going to

1808
01:36:30,760 --> 01:36:33,200
Speaker 1: open back up and then we'll get some relief. And

1809
01:36:33,439 --> 01:36:36,920
Speaker 1: I brought this up earlier this morning, John. The Democrats

1810
01:36:36,960 --> 01:36:39,719
Speaker 1: are screaming bloody murder about Donald Trump causing the price

1811
01:36:39,800 --> 01:36:42,479
Speaker 1: of gas go up and causing all this economic disruption

1812
01:36:42,600 --> 01:36:44,200
Speaker 1: with the Straight of Horror moves being shut down. So

1813
01:36:44,280 --> 01:36:48,040
Speaker 1: it's Donald Trump's fault, but they ignore the reality that

1814
01:36:48,160 --> 01:36:50,599
Speaker 1: they want the price of gasoleen to go up. It's

1815
01:36:50,640 --> 01:36:55,840
Speaker 1: their economic policies, the Green agenda by legislation, not active war,

1816
01:36:56,000 --> 01:36:59,720
Speaker 1: temporary as that may be permanent, embodiment of getting rid

1817
01:36:59,800 --> 01:37:03,160
Speaker 1: of fossil fuels, elimination of plant food from the environment,

1818
01:37:03,240 --> 01:37:05,559
Speaker 1: and you know number one goal for the left. It's

1819
01:37:05,640 --> 01:37:08,200
Speaker 1: okay when they do it, but it's not okay if

1820
01:37:08,240 --> 01:37:11,360
Speaker 1: it happens as a consequence of war. John, can you

1821
01:37:11,400 --> 01:37:12,360
Speaker 1: make sense of this formation?

1822
01:37:13,520 --> 01:37:17,719
Speaker 11: You're absolutely right that they have for years actually wanted

1823
01:37:18,400 --> 01:37:21,760
Speaker 11: gasoline prices to go up. They want oil prices to

1824
01:37:21,840 --> 01:37:25,200
Speaker 11: be higher because they want to discourage the consumption of

1825
01:37:25,280 --> 01:37:31,600
Speaker 11: those things and make renewable energy cheaper relatively. So this

1826
01:37:31,760 --> 01:37:36,400
Speaker 11: is one reason that they actually in states like California

1827
01:37:36,720 --> 01:37:41,160
Speaker 11: where they have very high gas taxes, the intention is

1828
01:37:41,280 --> 01:37:45,040
Speaker 11: to raise the price of gasoline. So you're right about that,

1829
01:37:46,800 --> 01:37:47,880
Speaker 11: and we have had this straight up.

1830
01:37:47,880 --> 01:37:48,599
Speaker 1: Her moves closed.

1831
01:37:48,960 --> 01:37:51,479
Speaker 11: But I don't want to underplay this. It is a

1832
01:37:51,640 --> 01:37:55,479
Speaker 11: cost to the economy when you get gasoline prices very high.

1833
01:37:56,280 --> 01:38:00,160
Speaker 11: That leaves people with less money to spend on other

1834
01:38:00,240 --> 01:38:02,640
Speaker 11: parts of the economy. They eat out less. They know

1835
01:38:02,720 --> 01:38:07,280
Speaker 11: there's there's less vacation planning. If gasoline prices are high

1836
01:38:07,320 --> 01:38:09,679
Speaker 11: going into the summer, there will be fewer road trips

1837
01:38:09,760 --> 01:38:13,759
Speaker 11: or souter road trips. That's a problem. However, we're already

1838
01:38:13,920 --> 01:38:17,000
Speaker 11: seeing gas prices come down. They went really high over

1839
01:38:17,080 --> 01:38:20,639
Speaker 11: the weekend. They were up Brent crue, the international standard,

1840
01:38:20,760 --> 01:38:22,880
Speaker 11: was up near one hundred and ten dollars a barrel.

1841
01:38:23,320 --> 01:38:25,960
Speaker 11: This morning it's down here ninety. Yesterday it got all

1842
01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:29,439
Speaker 11: the way down into the low eighties. So I don't

1843
01:38:29,560 --> 01:38:32,759
Speaker 11: think that the and if you look at the futures market,

1844
01:38:32,800 --> 01:38:36,360
Speaker 11: it's telling you that even those prices aren't expected to last.

1845
01:38:36,920 --> 01:38:39,479
Speaker 2: That if you when you can buy a.

1846
01:38:39,680 --> 01:38:42,439
Speaker 11: Futures contract that allows you to buy oil a year

1847
01:38:42,520 --> 01:38:45,759
Speaker 11: from now, and that is much cheaper than the futures

1848
01:38:45,800 --> 01:38:47,920
Speaker 11: contract that allows you to buy oil a month from now,

1849
01:38:47,960 --> 01:38:52,120
Speaker 11: what that's telling you is that smart investors think that

1850
01:38:52,479 --> 01:38:56,240
Speaker 11: this spike in oil prices is going to be a spike,

1851
01:38:56,360 --> 01:38:58,799
Speaker 11: meaning you go up and then you come down rapidly

1852
01:38:58,920 --> 01:38:59,240
Speaker 11: as well.

1853
01:38:59,560 --> 01:39:01,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again we've been down this road before. This

1854
01:39:01,960 --> 01:39:05,800
Speaker 1: happens all the time. But that the even some Republicans

1855
01:39:05,840 --> 01:39:07,960
Speaker 1: are worried about the November election. And that's the other thing,

1856
01:39:08,040 --> 01:39:11,000
Speaker 1: you know, on this whole climate thing. You know, we

1857
01:39:11,120 --> 01:39:12,519
Speaker 1: go in to the remember of election worried about the

1858
01:39:12,520 --> 01:39:14,839
Speaker 1: price of guestling being high. And you know, I understand

1859
01:39:14,920 --> 01:39:17,360
Speaker 1: inflation has been a problem, but you know, let's face it,

1860
01:39:17,640 --> 01:39:21,679
Speaker 1: the Biden administration unleashed trillions of dollars in the American economy,

1861
01:39:21,720 --> 01:39:25,120
Speaker 1: had a massive inflationary effect. Nobody points the Democrats for that.

1862
01:39:25,240 --> 01:39:27,719
Speaker 1: Why are the prices high? Joe Biden and his COVID

1863
01:39:27,840 --> 01:39:31,800
Speaker 1: money among others. Then the climate policies themselves cost the

1864
01:39:31,840 --> 01:39:36,040
Speaker 1: price of everything energy wise to go up. There's no

1865
01:39:36,200 --> 01:39:39,439
Speaker 1: recollection of that. Is this the mainstream media's coordinated effort

1866
01:39:39,520 --> 01:39:42,120
Speaker 1: to like do people into thinking this is somehow literally

1867
01:39:42,160 --> 01:39:45,160
Speaker 1: the Republican's fault, not the Democrats. And the other puzzling

1868
01:39:45,200 --> 01:39:49,800
Speaker 1: phenomenon is, John, if you're angry with the current economic situation,

1869
01:39:50,080 --> 01:39:52,320
Speaker 1: you can't appreciate that. Do you really want to vote

1870
01:39:52,360 --> 01:39:56,560
Speaker 1: in Democrats who are full on socialists slash you know,

1871
01:39:56,680 --> 01:40:00,639
Speaker 1: democrats socialist class outright socialists and all all the policies

1872
01:40:00,680 --> 01:40:02,920
Speaker 1: that go along with it, like men playing against women

1873
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:05,680
Speaker 1: in sports and every other crazy policy they've come up with.

1874
01:40:06,200 --> 01:40:09,960
Speaker 1: I just can't believe rational people would view this momentary

1875
01:40:10,200 --> 01:40:14,080
Speaker 1: problem and pursue that long term path that Democrats will

1876
01:40:14,080 --> 01:40:15,439
Speaker 1: most assuredly put in place.

1877
01:40:16,760 --> 01:40:17,120
Speaker 2: That's right.

1878
01:40:17,240 --> 01:40:20,360
Speaker 11: Look, I would say that every Republican should be reminding

1879
01:40:21,600 --> 01:40:25,759
Speaker 11: voters exactly what you just said, which is that Democrats

1880
01:40:25,800 --> 01:40:28,679
Speaker 11: actually want higher gasoline prices. They are not in favor

1881
01:40:29,000 --> 01:40:31,200
Speaker 11: of cheap fossil fuels. They would like us to not

1882
01:40:31,320 --> 01:40:33,599
Speaker 11: be able to use them at all, and the path

1883
01:40:33,720 --> 01:40:36,040
Speaker 11: to getting us off using them is to make it

1884
01:40:36,240 --> 01:40:40,400
Speaker 11: so expensive that we don't. However, people do have short

1885
01:40:40,479 --> 01:40:45,160
Speaker 11: term memories, and you're absolutely right. The legacy media discovered

1886
01:40:45,800 --> 01:40:49,000
Speaker 11: the idea of affordability the day Donald Trump was elected.

1887
01:40:49,479 --> 01:40:52,080
Speaker 11: Until then, they kept telling us that inflation wasn't a

1888
01:40:52,120 --> 01:40:54,080
Speaker 11: real problem, it wasn't a big deal, it was all

1889
01:40:54,160 --> 01:40:56,240
Speaker 11: going away, and it had gotten much better.

1890
01:40:56,439 --> 01:40:56,840
Speaker 10: All of that.

1891
01:40:57,360 --> 01:41:00,839
Speaker 11: Donald Trump gets elected and suddenly we're in an affordability crisis.

1892
01:41:01,280 --> 01:41:04,680
Speaker 11: This is completely manufactured. We are about to see later

1893
01:41:04,800 --> 01:41:08,640
Speaker 11: this week, actually tomorrow, we will get inflation numbers that

1894
01:41:08,720 --> 01:41:11,759
Speaker 11: are expected to be the lowest year over year inflation

1895
01:41:11,920 --> 01:41:16,200
Speaker 11: numbers in five years. So where's the affordability crisis? We're

1896
01:41:16,240 --> 01:41:19,920
Speaker 11: actually and at the same time, we have wages that

1897
01:41:20,040 --> 01:41:24,120
Speaker 11: are rising much faster than inflation, so things are actually

1898
01:41:24,200 --> 01:41:26,719
Speaker 11: becoming more affordable. You're not going to see that anywhere

1899
01:41:26,720 --> 01:41:30,240
Speaker 11: except on Breitbart, on your show, or on the bright

1900
01:41:30,280 --> 01:41:32,800
Speaker 11: Part Business Digest, which is an email we send out.

1901
01:41:32,840 --> 01:41:35,560
Speaker 11: Everybody can subscribe, but it's going to get ignored. I

1902
01:41:35,680 --> 01:41:38,800
Speaker 11: guarantee you you will not see a headline in the

1903
01:41:38,840 --> 01:41:42,240
Speaker 11: New York Times saying affordability crisis over.

1904
01:41:42,479 --> 01:41:44,720
Speaker 2: It will never be over as long as Donald Trump

1905
01:41:44,840 --> 01:41:45,280
Speaker 2: is president.

1906
01:41:45,400 --> 01:41:48,320
Speaker 1: As president well, and then the other factor is and

1907
01:41:48,439 --> 01:41:51,120
Speaker 1: we have not okay, like every administration, it takes time

1908
01:41:51,200 --> 01:41:53,280
Speaker 1: to get the policies in place and for them to work.

1909
01:41:53,680 --> 01:41:55,640
Speaker 1: We have the one big, beautiful bill which is now

1910
01:41:55,720 --> 01:41:58,400
Speaker 1: in effect, and that's going to probably bring some even

1911
01:41:58,479 --> 01:42:01,280
Speaker 1: more significant economic positives in the markets. That's going to

1912
01:42:01,320 --> 01:42:04,160
Speaker 1: take a little time, though, to grow roots and bear fruit.

1913
01:42:04,240 --> 01:42:06,320
Speaker 1: And do you think that's going to happen for November.

1914
01:42:07,520 --> 01:42:07,720
Speaker 2: I do.

1915
01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:10,600
Speaker 11: Actually, we're going to start to see some of the

1916
01:42:10,800 --> 01:42:13,840
Speaker 11: very direct effects of that in the next couple of months.

1917
01:42:15,000 --> 01:42:18,920
Speaker 11: Peoples are going people are getting much higher refunds because

1918
01:42:19,160 --> 01:42:22,439
Speaker 11: they have had tax cuts, so they paid taxes under

1919
01:42:22,479 --> 01:42:25,760
Speaker 11: the old Biden regime, but the refunds are actually many

1920
01:42:25,800 --> 01:42:28,760
Speaker 11: of them retroactive, so they are going to get better

1921
01:42:28,880 --> 01:42:32,280
Speaker 11: refunds than they were used to. And then going forward,

1922
01:42:32,439 --> 01:42:34,640
Speaker 11: they're actually going to have less money taken out of

1923
01:42:34,720 --> 01:42:38,519
Speaker 11: their paychecks because we have no tax on tips, no

1924
01:42:38,640 --> 01:42:42,919
Speaker 11: tax on overtime, no tax on extra income under Social Security.

1925
01:42:43,520 --> 01:42:47,080
Speaker 11: This is going to put more more money into people's pockets.

1926
01:42:47,320 --> 01:42:49,479
Speaker 11: They're going to be able to save more, they're going

1927
01:42:49,560 --> 01:42:52,160
Speaker 11: to be able to affward more. And this is not

1928
01:42:52,680 --> 01:42:55,840
Speaker 11: like unlike a stimulus check, which tends to be a

1929
01:42:55,880 --> 01:42:58,720
Speaker 11: bit inflationary, because if you're a business and you see

1930
01:42:58,720 --> 01:43:02,200
Speaker 11: a huge, you know, of demand due to a stimulus check,

1931
01:43:02,720 --> 01:43:05,720
Speaker 11: you don't go ahead and expand operations because you know

1932
01:43:05,840 --> 01:43:10,080
Speaker 11: that's just a temporary, temporary high. What you really want

1933
01:43:10,240 --> 01:43:13,240
Speaker 11: to do is make it permanent, and that's what the

1934
01:43:13,320 --> 01:43:16,720
Speaker 11: tax cuts do, so businesses can actually expand supply to

1935
01:43:16,880 --> 01:43:20,880
Speaker 11: match the increased demand, so it won't be inflationary's and

1936
01:43:21,040 --> 01:43:23,240
Speaker 11: I think we're going to see that in the next

1937
01:43:23,320 --> 01:43:26,440
Speaker 11: coming months. I also think we're going to see gasoline

1938
01:43:26,479 --> 01:43:30,040
Speaker 11: prices come down. They've gone up because of what's happening

1939
01:43:30,080 --> 01:43:34,040
Speaker 11: in the Strait for moves. That is not a permanent problem, however,

1940
01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:38,320
Speaker 11: and I do think by the summer that will be

1941
01:43:38,439 --> 01:43:42,200
Speaker 11: resolved and we will oil prices will come down, gasoline

1942
01:43:42,240 --> 01:43:45,240
Speaker 11: prices will come down, and people will be This will

1943
01:43:45,320 --> 01:43:50,360
Speaker 11: be a a memory rather than a current problem by.

1944
01:43:50,240 --> 01:43:53,400
Speaker 1: The time we get to November, except for places like

1945
01:43:53,439 --> 01:43:57,559
Speaker 1: the state of California, where the regulatory burden has imposed

1946
01:43:57,560 --> 01:43:59,960
Speaker 1: the reality that the gas prices are never going to

1947
01:44:00,040 --> 01:44:02,280
Speaker 1: come down. Sorry, I keep pivoting back to that, but yeah,

1948
01:44:02,320 --> 01:44:04,800
Speaker 1: we're going to be back let's say two dollars gallon gasoline,

1949
01:44:04,800 --> 01:44:07,040
Speaker 1: hopefully if we were there just a moment in time ago,

1950
01:44:07,400 --> 01:44:10,680
Speaker 1: temporary disruption, back to status quo. But then we get

1951
01:44:10,720 --> 01:44:13,800
Speaker 1: this constant reminder. It's like the cautionary tale. Don't go

1952
01:44:14,000 --> 01:44:15,840
Speaker 1: down that road because we don't want to pay five

1953
01:44:15,880 --> 01:44:19,160
Speaker 1: bucks for gasoline. Don't do what California did, going back

1954
01:44:19,200 --> 01:44:21,960
Speaker 1: to these policies pursued by Democrats.

1955
01:44:22,160 --> 01:44:26,040
Speaker 11: That's right, it's terrible in California. I'll also say it's

1956
01:44:26,160 --> 01:44:31,920
Speaker 11: a problem beyond California because there's no pipeline that goes

1957
01:44:32,000 --> 01:44:35,080
Speaker 11: to the West coast, so we produce a ton of

1958
01:44:35,200 --> 01:44:37,920
Speaker 11: oil in the middle of America, whether it's the Dakotas

1959
01:44:38,040 --> 01:44:43,160
Speaker 11: or Oklahoma or Texas, and yet we have no pipeline

1960
01:44:43,439 --> 01:44:48,240
Speaker 11: that goes west because the environmental extremists will not allow

1961
01:44:48,439 --> 01:44:53,120
Speaker 11: us to. They fight any proposal. In fact, it's so

1962
01:44:53,280 --> 01:44:56,160
Speaker 11: bad that people don't even propose building a pipeline. So

1963
01:44:56,640 --> 01:44:59,600
Speaker 11: what that means is that oil comes down into the

1964
01:44:59,640 --> 01:45:02,120
Speaker 11: Gulf gets to the rest of America, the East coast,

1965
01:45:02,200 --> 01:45:06,200
Speaker 11: the Midwest. American oil can get to the rest of America,

1966
01:45:06,320 --> 01:45:08,600
Speaker 11: it can't get to the west coast because we have

1967
01:45:09,080 --> 01:45:12,519
Speaker 11: no west coast pipeline we need. It's a little like

1968
01:45:12,640 --> 01:45:15,720
Speaker 11: remember when we obviously we don't remember this, but you

1969
01:45:15,800 --> 01:45:18,840
Speaker 11: remember in history class we learned about the trans Continental

1970
01:45:18,960 --> 01:45:22,400
Speaker 11: Railroad and how important that was to creating a national economy.

1971
01:45:22,960 --> 01:45:28,160
Speaker 11: We have no trans continental pipeline and so California, Oregon,

1972
01:45:28,600 --> 01:45:31,000
Speaker 11: Portland are sort of on their own when it comes

1973
01:45:31,040 --> 01:45:34,000
Speaker 11: to oil. They have to they actually get it from

1974
01:45:34,720 --> 01:45:38,560
Speaker 11: places like the Middle East, because otherwise you have to

1975
01:45:38,640 --> 01:45:41,360
Speaker 11: go all the way around America or through the Panama

1976
01:45:41,439 --> 01:45:43,120
Speaker 11: cat Now it's it's not really practical.

1977
01:45:43,640 --> 01:45:47,000
Speaker 2: So what we need is to stop that.

1978
01:45:47,800 --> 01:45:51,240
Speaker 11: A lot and Republicans I think could actually score a

1979
01:45:51,400 --> 01:45:56,439
Speaker 11: victory in California if they ran on pushing for a

1980
01:45:56,560 --> 01:45:58,000
Speaker 11: trans continental pipeline.

1981
01:45:58,320 --> 01:46:00,920
Speaker 1: I think that's an outstanding idea. But instead of doing

1982
01:46:01,000 --> 01:46:05,560
Speaker 1: something like that, which would make life better for all Californians,

1983
01:46:06,479 --> 01:46:08,759
Speaker 1: they're at least going to get their high speed rail project.

1984
01:46:08,840 --> 01:46:11,160
Speaker 1: John Carney, don't you think that represents a bit of

1985
01:46:11,200 --> 01:46:14,360
Speaker 1: an environmental problem too, because I would think you're doing

1986
01:46:14,520 --> 01:46:17,280
Speaker 1: comparable activities to build a railroad that you would for

1987
01:46:17,400 --> 01:46:18,080
Speaker 1: a pipeline.

1988
01:46:18,520 --> 01:46:20,719
Speaker 2: Right, Well, they sold problems.

1989
01:46:21,400 --> 01:46:24,799
Speaker 11: They solved that problem by never actually building a railroad,

1990
01:46:25,320 --> 01:46:29,559
Speaker 11: right They build one mile of it. You're okay, right,

1991
01:46:29,720 --> 01:46:31,040
Speaker 11: so that's all they ever get.

1992
01:46:32,439 --> 01:46:35,599
Speaker 1: But I guess quickly, John Carni another is this another

1993
01:46:35,640 --> 01:46:39,920
Speaker 1: self inflicted wound? Has this idea of actually bringing natural

1994
01:46:40,040 --> 01:46:42,000
Speaker 1: gas to the state of California by way of a

1995
01:46:42,200 --> 01:46:45,080
Speaker 1: pipeline system? Has that been proposed and rejected? Or is

1996
01:46:45,080 --> 01:46:47,040
Speaker 1: it no one ever stepped up to the plate and say, hey,

1997
01:46:47,400 --> 01:46:49,680
Speaker 1: how about that continental railway. There's an idea that we

1998
01:46:49,760 --> 01:46:51,519
Speaker 1: might want to put in place by way of pipeline.

1999
01:46:53,479 --> 01:46:58,640
Speaker 11: People have tried to propose it. The problem is they

2000
01:46:58,840 --> 01:47:01,960
Speaker 11: know how it's going to go. We barely succeed in

2001
01:47:02,160 --> 01:47:07,519
Speaker 11: building a pipeline even to you know the you know

2002
01:47:07,880 --> 01:47:11,280
Speaker 11: up to Canada, a northwest pipeline or sorry, a north

2003
01:47:11,360 --> 01:47:14,240
Speaker 11: south pipeline Excel, so the the you know, the these

2004
01:47:14,320 --> 01:47:19,680
Speaker 11: things are expensive and people aren't really thinking, well, you know,

2005
01:47:19,800 --> 01:47:22,439
Speaker 11: it's probably worth my time to spend twenty five years

2006
01:47:22,479 --> 01:47:27,639
Speaker 11: in litigation to build a pipeline that you know, and frankly,

2007
01:47:28,560 --> 01:47:30,360
Speaker 11: I've talked to people who have thought about this and

2008
01:47:30,400 --> 01:47:34,200
Speaker 11: they're afraid of environmental terrorism as well. You not only

2009
01:47:34,280 --> 01:47:36,720
Speaker 11: have to you know, finally get legal permission into it,

2010
01:47:36,960 --> 01:47:39,080
Speaker 11: you don't have to put armed guards around it because

2011
01:47:39,120 --> 01:47:41,519
Speaker 11: the echo extremists will try to blow it up.

2012
01:47:42,600 --> 01:47:44,560
Speaker 1: They're going to put armed guards around the railroad to

2013
01:47:44,640 --> 01:47:46,920
Speaker 1: keep people from causing train d the araunments, John Carney,

2014
01:47:46,960 --> 01:47:47,880
Speaker 1: for terrorism purposes.

2015
01:47:47,920 --> 01:47:51,640
Speaker 11: You know, they did, indeed have to in the in

2016
01:47:51,760 --> 01:47:55,040
Speaker 11: the nineteenth century have armed guards to guard the railroads

2017
01:47:55,040 --> 01:47:59,680
Speaker 11: because there were you know, criminals, bandits who you know

2018
01:48:00,360 --> 01:48:03,360
Speaker 11: very famously, right we all know the train robbers.

2019
01:48:03,880 --> 01:48:06,639
Speaker 1: Well, I would is indeed, what could happen, John Carny,

2020
01:48:06,680 --> 01:48:09,559
Speaker 1: I would suggest that if we didn't engage in any

2021
01:48:09,600 --> 01:48:13,560
Speaker 1: activity because something might happen. Criminally, we would never have

2022
01:48:13,640 --> 01:48:17,759
Speaker 1: advanced past the Stone Age. That's a good point, John Carney,

2023
01:48:18,160 --> 01:48:19,679
Speaker 1: A good point. Go ahead.

2024
01:48:21,160 --> 01:48:22,439
Speaker 2: I think that.

2025
01:48:23,960 --> 01:48:27,759
Speaker 11: We really I think as we become a more energy abundant,

2026
01:48:27,880 --> 01:48:32,920
Speaker 11: more energy dominant country, it will inevitably happens.

2027
01:48:33,280 --> 01:48:34,439
Speaker 2: It makes too much sense.

2028
01:48:34,640 --> 01:48:35,719
Speaker 11: So it's going to happen.

2029
01:48:37,520 --> 01:48:39,160
Speaker 2: But we but we really do have.

2030
01:48:39,479 --> 01:48:43,439
Speaker 11: But frankly, Republicans have to get bolder about this and

2031
01:48:43,640 --> 01:48:47,280
Speaker 11: pointed out if they will not do that, it will

2032
01:48:47,320 --> 01:48:48,160
Speaker 11: never make progress.

2033
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:54,200
Speaker 1: California, help us, help you, help us, save you from yourself,

2034
01:48:54,560 --> 01:48:57,360
Speaker 1: John Carney. You'll find what he writes at brightbart dot com.

Speaker 1: to this every week. Brian, good to see you. I'm

2049
01:49:34,600 --> 01:49:37,400
Speaker 1: glad you do. It's a very interesting conversation. You certainly

2050
01:49:37,720 --> 01:49:39,760
Speaker 1: reveal a lot of aspects that maybe most of us

2051
01:49:39,800 --> 01:49:43,800
Speaker 1: aren't really considering considering your military background. Well, lo and behold, Wow,

2052
01:49:43,840 --> 01:49:46,040
Speaker 1: the price of gasoline goes up because the strait of

2053
01:49:46,080 --> 01:49:48,439
Speaker 1: horror moves is closed. We've been through this road, down

2054
01:49:48,479 --> 01:49:51,200
Speaker 1: this road before, We've had this problem before. We always

2055
01:49:51,240 --> 01:49:52,880
Speaker 1: manage to come out the other side. You just got

2056
01:49:53,000 --> 01:49:55,040
Speaker 1: to wait for it. The question is how long it's

2057
01:49:55,080 --> 01:49:57,479
Speaker 1: gonna be before the straight of horror moves gets opened?

2058
01:49:58,160 --> 01:50:01,320
Speaker 1: So let's start there. I I would. I don't know

2059
01:50:01,400 --> 01:50:03,320
Speaker 1: what your perception is, but it appears as though the

2060
01:50:03,400 --> 01:50:06,679
Speaker 1: military operations launched by the Israelis and the United States

2061
01:50:06,760 --> 01:50:10,639
Speaker 1: forces are having a profound impact degrading the Iranians military.

2062
01:50:10,720 --> 01:50:13,639
Speaker 1: Most notably, you can tell by the far fewer number

2063
01:50:13,720 --> 01:50:16,920
Speaker 1: of missile strikes coming out of Iran, although I imagine

2064
01:50:16,960 --> 01:50:19,599
Speaker 1: they've kept their powder dry on some battles of missiles

2065
01:50:19,640 --> 01:50:22,040
Speaker 1: because the strait of horror moves is still closed and

2066
01:50:22,160 --> 01:50:24,439
Speaker 1: it's obviously not clear to sail through. What is the

2067
01:50:24,520 --> 01:50:26,439
Speaker 1: next step to getting the strait of horror moves open?

2068
01:50:26,560 --> 01:50:28,840
Speaker 1: Daniel Davis? And if you had the tea leaves, how

2069
01:50:28,880 --> 01:50:30,200
Speaker 1: long do you think it's going to be before that

2070
01:50:30,320 --> 01:50:34,040
Speaker 1: can happen. That is the number one thing that's on

2071
01:50:34,160 --> 01:50:38,120
Speaker 1: President Trump's mind. He spoke about that last not just

2072
01:50:38,280 --> 01:50:40,400
Speaker 1: moments ago, right before I came on here, there was

2073
01:50:40,560 --> 01:50:43,240
Speaker 1: a lot of press conference from the Pentagon where Secretary

2074
01:50:43,280 --> 01:50:45,160
Speaker 1: of War hex Seth and the Chairman of the Joint

2075
01:50:45,240 --> 01:50:48,479
Speaker 1: Chiefs of Staff Dan Kine, we're talking about that as well,

2076
01:50:48,560 --> 01:50:51,720
Speaker 1: and they are focused on getting rid of the Iranian

2077
01:50:52,200 --> 01:50:56,280
Speaker 1: drone missile and navy capacity. And you can understand that

2078
01:50:56,400 --> 01:50:59,080
Speaker 1: that's one of the primary drivers because this is obviously

2079
01:50:59,160 --> 01:51:01,720
Speaker 1: a global issue, you and it's driving the process for

2080
01:51:01,760 --> 01:51:03,920
Speaker 1: oil and gasoline, not just for the United States, but

2081
01:51:03,960 --> 01:51:05,479
Speaker 1: then of course that has a knock on effect to

2082
01:51:05,560 --> 01:51:09,000
Speaker 1: the economies everywhere because everything depends on that. Obviously, the

2083
01:51:09,200 --> 01:51:13,560
Speaker 1: problem is, though whatever number they say that we have

2084
01:51:13,720 --> 01:51:16,519
Speaker 1: reduced their amount of missiles and drones.

2085
01:51:17,120 --> 01:51:18,880
Speaker 6: It is at some kind of a sustained rate, and

2086
01:51:18,960 --> 01:51:21,040
Speaker 6: that was expected from the beginning. A lot of it

2087
01:51:21,160 --> 01:51:23,680
Speaker 6: is due to because of the significant attrition that we've

2088
01:51:23,720 --> 01:51:26,320
Speaker 6: done on their launchers and other facilities, there's no question

2089
01:51:26,400 --> 01:51:29,600
Speaker 6: about that. But it's also clear that Iran foresaw this

2090
01:51:29,800 --> 01:51:32,000
Speaker 6: for decades. They knew exactly what was going to happen

2091
01:51:32,040 --> 01:51:34,000
Speaker 6: to them, and they are prepared for it. And by

2092
01:51:34,080 --> 01:51:37,360
Speaker 6: that I mean that they have dispersed launch capabilities throughout

2093
01:51:37,479 --> 01:51:40,200
Speaker 6: the country. It's not even one or two central locations.

2094
01:51:40,280 --> 01:51:42,719
Speaker 6: It is literally all kinds of places under the ground,

2095
01:51:43,120 --> 01:51:45,680
Speaker 6: and they have to sustain a rate of fire. They

2096
01:51:45,720 --> 01:51:47,640
Speaker 6: can't have this big blast that they had at the

2097
01:51:47,680 --> 01:51:49,720
Speaker 6: beginning all the way through any more than we can.

2098
01:51:49,880 --> 01:51:51,599
Speaker 6: We had this big shock and all kinds of thing

2099
01:51:51,680 --> 01:51:53,800
Speaker 6: at the beginning, and now we also have to have

2100
01:51:53,920 --> 01:51:55,880
Speaker 6: a sustained rate to be able to take this out

2101
01:51:55,960 --> 01:51:58,760
Speaker 6: over time. So we can't read too much into that.

2102
01:51:58,960 --> 01:52:00,720
Speaker 6: Like you know, it's down nine eight percent, so it's

2103
01:52:00,720 --> 01:52:03,360
Speaker 6: almost out and soon it'll be done. This is an

2104
01:52:03,439 --> 01:52:06,680
Speaker 6: issue to where they could be sustaining this for a

2105
01:52:06,880 --> 01:52:09,599
Speaker 6: very long time, and so far I don't see anything

2106
01:52:09,640 --> 01:52:12,519
Speaker 6: to answer your question directly, I don't see anything that's

2107
01:52:12,560 --> 01:52:13,760
Speaker 6: going to say that the trade is going to be

2108
01:52:13,800 --> 01:52:16,240
Speaker 6: open anytime soon. As a matter of fact, this morning

2109
01:52:16,320 --> 01:52:19,719
Speaker 6: I saw again reports on Bloomberg that another oil tanker

2110
01:52:20,000 --> 01:52:23,720
Speaker 6: has been hit in the Persian Gulf and giving every

2111
01:52:23,760 --> 01:52:26,240
Speaker 6: evidence that of course these shots on the bow. All

2112
01:52:26,240 --> 01:52:28,200
Speaker 6: they got to do is hit one or two periodically,

2113
01:52:28,240 --> 01:52:29,599
Speaker 6: and it's going to keep all the rest of them

2114
01:52:29,680 --> 01:52:32,280
Speaker 6: anchored and not driving in or out of the gulf.

2115
01:52:32,640 --> 01:52:33,799
Speaker 1: That's having a huge.

2116
01:52:33,640 --> 01:52:37,479
Speaker 6: Effect on the oil price too, because Kuwait announced yesterday

2117
01:52:37,520 --> 01:52:40,439
Speaker 6: that they have started reducing their production and soon they're

2118
01:52:40,479 --> 01:52:42,880
Speaker 6: gonna have to stop it completely because they don't have

2119
01:52:42,960 --> 01:52:46,160
Speaker 6: the storage capacity. They have to offload this into ships.

2120
01:52:46,240 --> 01:52:48,400
Speaker 6: That's the system is designed that way, not to store

2121
01:52:48,439 --> 01:52:51,160
Speaker 6: stuff up. So now then they're running out of storage capacity,

2122
01:52:51,240 --> 01:52:53,760
Speaker 6: and they're the first of others, and pretty soon you're

2123
01:52:53,800 --> 01:52:56,840
Speaker 6: gonna have a shutdown of production, not just the ship's

2124
01:52:56,880 --> 01:52:57,280
Speaker 6: going through.

2125
01:52:57,360 --> 01:52:59,360
Speaker 1: So this is a big issue. Yeah, hard lesson to

2126
01:52:59,439 --> 01:53:01,000
Speaker 1: learn for the Kui eighties. Maybe they want to start

2127
01:53:01,520 --> 01:53:04,439
Speaker 1: put some money into storage capacity, but I mean, this

2128
01:53:05,240 --> 01:53:07,920
Speaker 1: is a global impact that it's having. I mean, and

2129
01:53:08,040 --> 01:53:10,240
Speaker 1: we are an independent producer of our own oil and

2130
01:53:10,360 --> 01:53:12,839
Speaker 1: we could live off ours, but as a global commodity.

2131
01:53:12,960 --> 01:53:15,960
Speaker 1: So while the globe is being impacted by this, the

2132
01:53:16,080 --> 01:53:18,880
Speaker 1: wrath of the world I would think potentially could be

2133
01:53:19,080 --> 01:53:24,160
Speaker 1: drawn against the Iranians. I know, the multiple surrounding Arab nations.

2134
01:53:24,560 --> 01:53:27,519
Speaker 1: They keep getting these limited Iranian missiles launched at them.

2135
01:53:27,560 --> 01:53:29,639
Speaker 1: I don't know what strategy the Iranians think they're trying

2136
01:53:29,680 --> 01:53:32,120
Speaker 1: to accomplish, but you would think that at least among

2137
01:53:32,240 --> 01:53:34,840
Speaker 1: the local Arab community might not want to irk them,

2138
01:53:35,640 --> 01:53:38,040
Speaker 1: because that's going to maybe push them toward the United

2139
01:53:38,080 --> 01:53:40,799
Speaker 1: States side of the equation, maybe entering the Abraham Accords

2140
01:53:40,840 --> 01:53:43,000
Speaker 1: and looking at the Iranian situations, like, you know, what

2141
01:53:43,479 --> 01:53:45,559
Speaker 1: we're done with Iran. If they weren't here, we wouldn't

2142
01:53:45,600 --> 01:53:48,639
Speaker 1: have this problem. Let's move on. So why not take

2143
01:53:48,680 --> 01:53:50,760
Speaker 1: the side of the United States. Anything to that.

2144
01:53:50,840 --> 01:53:54,920
Speaker 6: Well, some people may think that, and some people go

2145
01:53:55,000 --> 01:53:57,559
Speaker 6: down that path, but there are a great many voices

2146
01:53:57,600 --> 01:53:59,840
Speaker 6: in the Middle East and around the world that say,

2147
01:54:00,560 --> 01:54:03,000
Speaker 6: it's not Irani's the problem, it's the US and Israel.

2148
01:54:03,080 --> 01:54:05,759
Speaker 6: Because if they had to launch this war of choice,

2149
01:54:05,760 --> 01:54:08,360
Speaker 6: which was not needed, nothing there was no imminent threat

2150
01:54:08,400 --> 01:54:10,920
Speaker 6: from anyone, there would be no problem with his two.

2151
01:54:11,040 --> 01:54:14,240
Speaker 6: So that is why the Iranians have calculated, and it's

2152
01:54:14,240 --> 01:54:16,920
Speaker 6: a gamble, but they have calculated that instead of having

2153
01:54:16,920 --> 01:54:19,439
Speaker 6: the effect you just described, the effect will instead be

2154
01:54:19,640 --> 01:54:22,240
Speaker 6: on the US and Israel to come to an agreement

2155
01:54:22,320 --> 01:54:24,200
Speaker 6: to say, listen, all you've got to do is stop

2156
01:54:24,280 --> 01:54:27,000
Speaker 6: this war and they'll stop shooting us, and then we

2157
01:54:27,080 --> 01:54:29,240
Speaker 6: can get back to making money. That's what they want

2158
01:54:29,280 --> 01:54:32,520
Speaker 6: to do. Of course, around the world, the message from

2159
01:54:32,600 --> 01:54:35,440
Speaker 6: the Iranians is having some residents because they're saying we

2160
01:54:35,640 --> 01:54:37,920
Speaker 6: wanted to have a negotiated settlement. We were in a

2161
01:54:38,000 --> 01:54:41,000
Speaker 6: negotiated for the second time in two years, and then

2162
01:54:41,040 --> 01:54:44,040
Speaker 6: the Americans attacked us anyway, making us look bad. Hitting

2163
01:54:44,120 --> 01:54:46,400
Speaker 6: that girls school with the very first shot out of

2164
01:54:46,440 --> 01:54:48,880
Speaker 6: the bag didn't look good at all and has caused

2165
01:54:48,880 --> 01:54:50,839
Speaker 6: a lot of negative side for US. So there's pressure

2166
01:54:50,920 --> 01:54:55,200
Speaker 6: on President Trump all over all over the map. And

2167
01:54:55,360 --> 01:54:59,560
Speaker 6: then you have the military issue that we've hit now

2168
01:54:59,680 --> 01:55:02,320
Speaker 6: this is day eleven. We've hit them with all kinds

2169
01:55:02,360 --> 01:55:06,040
Speaker 6: of stuff and we've destroyed, you know, most of their navy,

2170
01:55:06,080 --> 01:55:08,720
Speaker 6: their air force, air defense, a bunch of stuff. But

2171
01:55:09,600 --> 01:55:12,360
Speaker 6: we can't knock their government out. In a country that's

2172
01:55:12,440 --> 01:55:15,160
Speaker 6: four times bigger than a rock, you can't bomb it

2173
01:55:15,280 --> 01:55:18,400
Speaker 6: into submission, I mean, like literally destroy it. All they

2174
01:55:18,520 --> 01:55:21,720
Speaker 6: have to do is endure and keep fighting, and then

2175
01:55:22,160 --> 01:55:25,800
Speaker 6: we can't go on forever like this. President Trump's already

2176
01:55:25,840 --> 01:55:28,520
Speaker 6: running into some real problems with our inventories of the

2177
01:55:28,640 --> 01:55:31,840
Speaker 6: key weapon systems, and this has a near term clock

2178
01:55:31,920 --> 01:55:33,840
Speaker 6: on it that's not on our favor right now. Well,

2179
01:55:33,880 --> 01:55:35,160
Speaker 6: it was one of the things I wanted to ask you.

2180
01:55:35,320 --> 01:55:39,320
Speaker 1: I suppose in no Military Strategists is Brian Thomas Daniel Davis,

2181
01:55:39,360 --> 01:55:42,600
Speaker 1: as we have you on. You go after the immediate

2182
01:55:42,720 --> 01:55:45,680
Speaker 1: threat targets, the immediate launch targets, the ones where you

2183
01:55:45,760 --> 01:55:48,040
Speaker 1: know that there are concentrated batteries of rockets that can

2184
01:55:48,120 --> 01:55:50,080
Speaker 1: launch any minute. You go after the Air Force, You

2185
01:55:50,120 --> 01:55:52,520
Speaker 1: go after the Navy targets that you know may be

2186
01:55:52,600 --> 01:55:55,920
Speaker 1: able to launch offensive operations against the United States or Israel.

2187
01:55:56,240 --> 01:55:58,120
Speaker 1: If you get rid of those, then you have time

2188
01:55:58,160 --> 01:56:00,760
Speaker 1: to go in and maybe find those hard rder targets,

2189
01:56:00,880 --> 01:56:03,960
Speaker 1: figure out where those bunkers are because they've already started

2190
01:56:04,040 --> 01:56:06,600
Speaker 1: using conventional bombs. I mean, you don't need a laser

2191
01:56:06,680 --> 01:56:09,839
Speaker 1: guided multi million dollar rocket in order to hit a target.

2192
01:56:10,040 --> 01:56:12,520
Speaker 1: If you can drop a conventional bomb on it, is

2193
01:56:12,600 --> 01:56:16,360
Speaker 1: that the next phase we are in warfare. Daniel Davis Well.

2194
01:56:16,400 --> 01:56:19,000
Speaker 6: Well, and then that has dropping these conventional bombs means

2195
01:56:19,040 --> 01:56:21,600
Speaker 6: that you're running low with h Gota munitions sure, and

2196
01:56:21,760 --> 01:56:24,400
Speaker 6: the bombs aren't as accurate either. So you've got a

2197
01:56:24,480 --> 01:56:28,040
Speaker 6: double problem there because we need those precision weapons to

2198
01:56:28,080 --> 01:56:30,320
Speaker 6: be able to hit pinpoint targets when we need them.

2199
01:56:30,560 --> 01:56:33,240
Speaker 6: But here's the thing that too of you understand. The

2200
01:56:33,560 --> 01:56:36,480
Speaker 6: Iranian Navy, the Iranian Air Force was no threat to

2201
01:56:36,560 --> 01:56:38,680
Speaker 6: anyone anyway, So you've taken a lot of it out,

2202
01:56:38,720 --> 01:56:41,440
Speaker 6: But where are you that you weren't before. Already they

2203
01:56:41,480 --> 01:56:43,920
Speaker 6: didn't have the ability to project power. Those were only

2204
01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:47,800
Speaker 6: for coastal defenses, which now are purfluous to us. It

2205
01:56:47,840 --> 01:56:50,560
Speaker 6: doesn't make any difference. But the issue is you have

2206
01:56:50,720 --> 01:56:54,960
Speaker 6: to get a political success military power with this unquestioned

2207
01:56:55,040 --> 01:56:58,920
Speaker 6: overwhelmingly in our favor, But that doesn't necessarily translate into

2208
01:56:59,000 --> 01:57:03,760
Speaker 6: a political out because we have set unconditional surrender on

2209
01:57:03,880 --> 01:57:07,160
Speaker 6: the political entity inside Tehran. That means you have to

2210
01:57:07,280 --> 01:57:09,920
Speaker 6: either completely destroy them or you've got to go in

2211
01:57:10,040 --> 01:57:12,760
Speaker 6: on the ground to compel compliance. We don't even have

2212
01:57:12,920 --> 01:57:15,480
Speaker 6: a ground force, so that's not a legitimate option anytime

2213
01:57:15,840 --> 01:57:18,480
Speaker 6: in the foreseeable future, no matter what people are saying.

2214
01:57:19,000 --> 01:57:20,480
Speaker 6: And so that means that you have to try and

2215
01:57:20,560 --> 01:57:22,320
Speaker 6: bomb them into the stone age. But we don't have

2216
01:57:22,480 --> 01:57:25,120
Speaker 6: that many bombs, and the country is so spread out.

2217
01:57:25,160 --> 01:57:26,560
Speaker 6: I can't reinforce this enough.

2218
01:57:27,200 --> 01:57:27,880
Speaker 1: It's too big.

2219
01:57:28,040 --> 01:57:28,880
Speaker 7: You just can't do it.

2220
01:57:28,960 --> 01:57:31,120
Speaker 1: So we're in a real pickle right now. Two point

2221
01:57:31,200 --> 01:57:34,440
Speaker 1: four times the size of Texas. That is not a

2222
01:57:34,520 --> 01:57:36,440
Speaker 1: small piece of real estate. I acknowledge that.

2223
01:57:37,120 --> 01:57:38,640
Speaker 6: And because then you ad on top of that, it's

2224
01:57:38,640 --> 01:57:42,720
Speaker 6: also the geography because it's mountainous like most of Afghanistan was,

2225
01:57:43,080 --> 01:57:46,680
Speaker 6: and that helps the defender and it makes it even

2226
01:57:46,800 --> 01:57:48,640
Speaker 6: more difficult to bring bombs to beer.

2227
01:57:49,080 --> 01:57:51,360
Speaker 1: Very briefly, you mentioned the one hundred and fifty school

2228
01:57:51,440 --> 01:57:54,240
Speaker 1: children plus or minus that was allegedly hit by an

2229
01:57:54,240 --> 01:57:56,760
Speaker 1: American missile. A lot of internet circulating that no, that

2230
01:57:56,920 --> 01:57:59,200
Speaker 1: was in Iranian missile. I don't know if you've seen

2231
01:57:59,360 --> 01:58:02,080
Speaker 1: the arguments that it was not a United States munition

2232
01:58:02,160 --> 01:58:05,920
Speaker 1: that did it. Do we really truly know? I mean,

2233
01:58:06,000 --> 01:58:07,840
Speaker 1: we've had reports like this in the past. You know,

2234
01:58:07,960 --> 01:58:09,760
Speaker 1: oh my god, all these civilians were killed in as

2235
01:58:09,800 --> 01:58:12,680
Speaker 1: it turns out, no, actually that wasn't the United States,

2236
01:58:12,760 --> 01:58:14,760
Speaker 1: it was someone else. No, it didn't hit a hospital,

2237
01:58:14,760 --> 01:58:16,600
Speaker 1: It went into a parking lot. Are we in one

2238
01:58:16,640 --> 01:58:19,120
Speaker 1: of those situations or do we definitively know that that

2239
01:58:19,240 --> 01:58:21,040
Speaker 1: was the United States missile?

2240
01:58:21,800 --> 01:58:24,520
Speaker 6: You know, the fog of war is always going to

2241
01:58:24,560 --> 01:58:26,960
Speaker 6: be kind of cloudy. But by the evidence we have,

2242
01:58:27,080 --> 01:58:30,040
Speaker 6: it looks pretty conclusively that it was us. Not only

2243
01:58:30,080 --> 01:58:31,800
Speaker 6: do you have the picture of the cruise missile that

2244
01:58:31,920 --> 01:58:34,200
Speaker 6: hit it, you also have the whole target array and

2245
01:58:34,280 --> 01:58:36,960
Speaker 6: the whole area was our missile that was on our

2246
01:58:37,040 --> 01:58:39,520
Speaker 6: target list we published it. It shows that that's what

2247
01:58:39,680 --> 01:58:43,480
Speaker 6: we struck. So the question is was it an errant missile?

2248
01:58:43,680 --> 01:58:45,520
Speaker 6: Did the missile hit the wrong building not where it

2249
01:58:45,640 --> 01:58:47,879
Speaker 6: was fired at, or did we have an errant targeting

2250
01:58:48,200 --> 01:58:50,920
Speaker 6: that we thought that was a military target not realizing

2251
01:58:50,960 --> 01:58:52,360
Speaker 6: that it was a school or something like that.

2252
01:58:52,880 --> 01:58:53,960
Speaker 1: That seems to be the question.

2253
01:58:54,080 --> 01:58:56,320
Speaker 6: But it doesn't look like it's one of those mistakes

2254
01:58:56,600 --> 01:58:58,160
Speaker 6: or those things that it wasn't really us, or that

2255
01:58:58,200 --> 01:59:01,440
Speaker 6: it was Iran. That doesn't mean any sense whatsoever that

2256
01:59:01,520 --> 01:59:04,160
Speaker 6: they somehow would know in the opening rounds to fire

2257
01:59:04,560 --> 01:59:06,880
Speaker 6: a missile that looks like a tomahawk in the middle

2258
01:59:06,920 --> 01:59:08,560
Speaker 6: of one of our attacks, because you see there's a

2259
01:59:08,640 --> 01:59:11,920
Speaker 6: bunch of shots that hit. There's there's pretty little doubt

2260
01:59:11,960 --> 01:59:12,760
Speaker 6: that it was it was.

2261
01:59:12,840 --> 01:59:15,040
Speaker 1: We fired it. I know a lot of the maybe

2262
01:59:15,080 --> 01:59:16,960
Speaker 1: the outcome of the war may be predicated on whether

2263
01:59:17,040 --> 01:59:20,320
Speaker 1: or not the Iranian citizenry rises up and overthrows the regime.

2264
01:59:20,440 --> 01:59:23,000
Speaker 1: But I've read several reports on this, and it makes

2265
01:59:23,000 --> 01:59:25,800
Speaker 1: perfect sense we should temper our expectations in that regard

2266
01:59:25,840 --> 01:59:27,480
Speaker 1: because we really don't know how many of the potential

2267
01:59:27,520 --> 01:59:31,320
Speaker 1: revolutionaries there are, and that our cultural intelligence, you know,

2268
01:59:31,440 --> 01:59:34,720
Speaker 1: the mood of the bulk of the population isn't very precise.

2269
01:59:34,800 --> 01:59:37,760
Speaker 1: We don't know the true numbers of dissidant populations. So

2270
01:59:39,080 --> 01:59:42,400
Speaker 1: and the idea that, you know, the citizenry who's been

2271
01:59:42,440 --> 01:59:45,520
Speaker 1: blocked out from communications, they can't communicate with each other

2272
01:59:46,240 --> 01:59:50,240
Speaker 1: organizing and rising up, that's a minimum I mean under

2273
01:59:50,280 --> 01:59:52,280
Speaker 1: statement to say that's a tough road to hoe. So

2274
01:59:52,520 --> 01:59:55,320
Speaker 1: we have no concept of what actually might happen. It

2275
01:59:55,760 --> 01:59:56,839
Speaker 1: should I mean in terms.

2276
01:59:56,640 --> 01:59:59,320
Speaker 6: Of yeah, that was the hope from the beginning, and

2277
01:59:59,560 --> 02:00:02,800
Speaker 6: I saw a couple of generals on US television yesterday

2278
02:00:02,920 --> 02:00:04,400
Speaker 6: still hoping that maybe they can.

2279
02:00:04,360 --> 02:00:06,440
Speaker 1: Get local help. Local boots on the.

2280
02:00:06,440 --> 02:00:09,320
Speaker 6: Ground is the term they used, because we don't have one.

2281
02:00:09,800 --> 02:00:13,360
Speaker 6: But everything that I have seen so far, in frankly

2282
02:00:13,480 --> 02:00:16,160
Speaker 6: common sense, says that a country, they they have some

2283
02:00:16,280 --> 02:00:19,440
Speaker 6: serious disagreements inside their country, but if you start pummeling

2284
02:00:19,480 --> 02:00:22,400
Speaker 6: them with one of their historic enemies Israel, and then

2285
02:00:22,440 --> 02:00:25,400
Speaker 6: the United States, and then they just are crushing that

2286
02:00:25,520 --> 02:00:28,960
Speaker 6: country left and right and destroying everything. I mean, civilian targets.

2287
02:00:29,040 --> 02:00:32,800
Speaker 6: Tehran was on fire over the weekend, their hairports being destroyed,

2288
02:00:32,840 --> 02:00:34,840
Speaker 6: et cetera. The idea that we're going to get them

2289
02:00:34,880 --> 02:00:38,000
Speaker 6: to then rise up on our behalf against that government

2290
02:00:38,760 --> 02:00:40,920
Speaker 6: is really unlikely. And what this has done, and this

2291
02:00:41,040 --> 02:00:42,840
Speaker 6: is not surprising. I think you and I talked about

2292
02:00:42,880 --> 02:00:45,840
Speaker 6: this as a potential beforehand. You get the rally around

2293
02:00:45,880 --> 02:00:48,880
Speaker 6: the flag galvanizing, and now then they've assassinated their leader.

2294
02:00:49,160 --> 02:00:51,760
Speaker 6: Those kids were killed in regardless of who it may

2295
02:00:51,840 --> 02:00:53,880
Speaker 6: have been behind it or what the reason was, it

2296
02:00:54,000 --> 02:00:56,880
Speaker 6: is guaranteed on the iranium viewpoint.

2297
02:00:56,640 --> 02:00:59,480
Speaker 1: That it was on our side and we killed them.

2298
02:00:59,520 --> 02:01:02,000
Speaker 6: And so they're for now they're even more solidified behind

2299
02:01:02,000 --> 02:01:03,960
Speaker 6: it because they're not going to join the side that

2300
02:01:04,080 --> 02:01:06,920
Speaker 6: did that. So that has backfired in my view. And

2301
02:01:07,280 --> 02:01:08,920
Speaker 6: I've talked to people on the ground, by the way,

2302
02:01:09,080 --> 02:01:12,840
Speaker 6: who were in those protests in January, two separate ones,

2303
02:01:13,280 --> 02:01:15,080
Speaker 6: and I've read some other stuff from others who were

2304
02:01:15,160 --> 02:01:18,040
Speaker 6: in this situation, and they all say, we hate the regime,

2305
02:01:18,360 --> 02:01:20,160
Speaker 6: but there's no way we're going to turn against it

2306
02:01:20,280 --> 02:01:22,440
Speaker 6: for you when you're coming in to destroying our country.

2307
02:01:22,680 --> 02:01:25,040
Speaker 1: So I think there is no legitimate process for that

2308
02:01:25,240 --> 02:01:27,400
Speaker 1: going forward. We need to understand that, and we need

2309
02:01:27,440 --> 02:01:30,320
Speaker 1: to understand that. Daniel Davis and I I'm certain, sad

2310
02:01:30,360 --> 02:01:32,240
Speaker 1: as it may be, will continue to talk about this

2311
02:01:32,560 --> 02:01:35,360
Speaker 1: next Tuesday on another edition of the Daniel Davis Deeve Dive.

2312
02:01:35,760 --> 02:01:38,920
Speaker 1: Daniel Davis, always a pleasure speaking with you, and I'll

2313
02:01:38,960 --> 02:01:41,040
Speaker 1: look forward to next Tuesday as always. Have a great week,

2314
02:01:41,080 --> 02:01:41,440
Speaker 1: my friend.

2315
02:01:42,320 --> 02:01:42,840
Speaker 6: Thanks Brian.

2316
02:01:42,920 --> 02:01:44,880
Speaker 1: See you is eight forty one fifty five K see

2317
02:01:44,920 --> 02:01:47,400
Speaker 1: the talk station. You're talking to Foreign Exchange Austin from

2318
02:01:47,440 --> 02:01:49,840
Speaker 1: Foreign Exchange. I asked the expert get some pro tips

2319
02:01:49,840 --> 02:01:52,400
Speaker 1: for the springtime taking care of your automobile that's coming

2320
02:01:52,480 --> 02:01:55,040
Speaker 1: up don't go away. This is fifty five KARC
