So I'm 7 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: looking at the weather forecast as we got snow coming 8 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:49,160 Speaker 1: our way. It's cold out. Yeah. Yeah. Just my wife 9 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 1: and I yesterday, just every time we had to go 10 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: outside for it, it was like the cold went right 11 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: through you. Not a good way, not like it went 12 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: through you and didn't body. It's like as soon as 13 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: it hit, it was like bone deep. What in the 14 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: hell is going on here? Is not that cold out? 15 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: But then again I just chalked it off to well, 16 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: it just sucks getting old. I looked at her. I said, 17 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: next thing you know, you're going to be talking about 18 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 1: moving to Florida, and her eyes lit up. It's like, no, no, no, 19 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: not yet, not yet. My dad used to have comments 20 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: all the time when they were down in Florida, when 21 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 1: he was still working, He's take February off. He would 22 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: make fun of then what he would call the old people. 23 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 1: It catches up with everybody, doesn't it. Wearing winter coats 24 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: when it was fifty degrees out. He's like, I'm over 25 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: the public. So everybody's got winter coats on? What is 26 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: with these people? It's not that cold out? Yeah, okay, 27 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: it does have a chance or a way of catching up. 28 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: Are you anyway? Happy Monday? Trying to make it so anyway, 29 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: Wednesday's going to be listener lunch day. Looking forward to that. 30 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: And of course, so we've got our Christmas party here 31 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: at the High Hearted Media Cluster as they refer to 32 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: the various stations at Our Heart's Control. That's on Wednesday 33 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: as well. So I got a full Wednesday coming up. 34 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: But I really am looking for or to listen to 35 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: lunch last one of the year we celebrate the holidays. 36 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: I know Santa Claus Bob Wetter, mister humanitarian himself and 37 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: the wish tree creator back in the nineteen eighties when 38 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 1: he was over at Chiltoes managing the office base of 39 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: the building there started the program. So if you're a 40 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,519 Speaker 1: business like a tree, he would love to provide you 41 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: with a tree. Of course, the ornaments on the tree 42 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: are what's critical to that. Grab an ornament, get the 43 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: gift that the individual need really is hoping for for 44 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: Christmas and return it to where you got the tree, 45 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: or just give Bob a call. He'll pick it up. 46 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: But that's what it's all about this holiday season, engaging 47 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,239 Speaker 1: the little charity. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I 48 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: can't thank my family enough for just an outstanding day. 49 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: We're in a nice time. It was fun, and of 50 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: course time marches on. It's just the only downside is 51 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: that my fond recollections of Thanksgiving spring from when I 52 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: was a little kid, and seeing all the aunts and 53 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: uncles and family that you never saw throughout the year, 54 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 1: well you know a lot of them aren't with us anymore. 55 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 1: And noticing the age of everyone who was at Thanksgiving, 56 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: I just it's just a little heartbreaking. It's heartwarming in 57 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: many respects. But you know, enjoy the time you had 58 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: with family. Why you've got it, you know, there but 59 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: for the grace of God go Why we do not 60 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: know the number or days we've got on this planet. 61 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: So even if you're a young person and try to 62 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: enjoy it, think of time with family and put a 63 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 1: smile on your face, and absolutely no political discussions at Thanksgiving, 64 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: which I was really happy about. Didn't even have to 65 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: make a rule announcement at the outset of that thing. 66 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: Five three seven, nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and 67 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: eighty two to three talk pound five fifty on your 68 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: AT and T phone all kinds of places. Looks like uh, 69 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: I mean, just going through the headlines, we got problems 70 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: with Somali's in Minnesota, Yes we do. Trump actually told 71 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: Maduro to get the hell out of his country to 72 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: save himself and his family. You know, if you've got 73 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,839 Speaker 1: an idea of where this this war authorization is coming from, 74 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: you know me, I'm a bit of a stickler for 75 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: the rules, and I worry about unilateral waging of war 76 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: without even congressional approval or even operating pursuing to some 77 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: authorization for you, some military force. I mean, we got 78 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: a whole carrier group down there. We keep adding more 79 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: and more military personnel, and now we've got this ultimatum. 80 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: He's on the phone with this guy yesterday, this Maduro character, 81 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: basically saying get the hell out now. Maduro wanted some assurances, 82 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: which suggested to me that he actually might have considered 83 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 1: this offer. No deal reached. Apparently the US rejected three 84 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: conditions that the Maduro's inner circle is seeking. So you 85 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: get the phone called Maduro, your days are numbered and 86 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna let you get out, you and your family. 87 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: Can you reach any other conclusion beyond that rockets and 88 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: bombs are going to be dropped, get out of the 89 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: land that you are on in your country, the house 90 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 1: you live in, or wherever you find yourself, or there's 91 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 1: going to be trouble that there's no other reading that 92 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: I can come up with me than anything beyond that 93 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: we're going to bomb you. And so, having declared this, this 94 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: Cartel delos Sols a terrorist organization, along with growing reports 95 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: that maybe you've read, I've read a lot of them 96 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 1: that Madura's military is actively engaging in the facilitation of 97 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: drugs being flown around within and without the country. Now, 98 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: if Madua's military is being used for drug trafficking purposes, 99 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: helping and facilitating the Cartel Delo's soul As operations, does 100 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: that not make them part of the terrorist organization? Okay, 101 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 1: So if you believe that we have the ability to 102 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: bomb the terrorist organization, then aren't you then by necessity 103 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: going to have to bomb Adura's military. Just trying to 104 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 1: sort through all this anyway, Apparently the no deal was reached. 105 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: The three key conditions that the Maduro folks were asking 106 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 1: for global amnesty for crimes that Washington leaks links to 107 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: this terrorist organization Cartel de Loo Solas. Now that was 108 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 1: a request from Maduro folks global amnesty for crimes related 109 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: to this. Well, if you're seeking I guess I have 110 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 1: to ask this out loud. Is Donald Trump in a 111 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: position to grant global amnesty if there are other countries 112 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: out there in the world they think he's committed crimes. 113 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: I guess they, like us, could bring Maduro to justice 114 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: in whatever way, shape or form that they think is appropriate, 115 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: just like Donald Trump is doing this. The other thing 116 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: is a Nigaraguan style transition that would allow the regime 117 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 1: to retain control of the armed forces. I thought was 118 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: rather weird. If you kick a man out of the 119 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: country by threatening his life and telling him his regime 120 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: is going to be overthrown, how is it that he 121 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: could maintain control of the military. I don't get that one. 122 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: And finally, a delayed resignation timetable adjusting the time. Anyway, 123 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: it fell through. So apparently staying what's phase two? I mean, 124 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: we get to profit at phase three is the running joke. 125 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: But what's next? Are we going to start bombing? And 126 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: if we do, and there's got to be somebody out 127 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: there who say, well, whoa, whoa, wait a minute, what 128 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: about the authorization to bomb? I'm not arguing these folks 129 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: aren't narco terrorists. That's not me. I'm not arguing that 130 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: they're not trying to bring drugs in the United States. 131 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: I know it's happening, but there's a missing sort of 132 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: I want to say, due process element. But I'm confused 133 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: by all this. And I know we play fast and 134 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: loose with literally everything in this world. It's political expedience 135 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:05,239 Speaker 1: the day for everyone globally, it seems so again once 136 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: the the pesky constitution that is the supreme law of 137 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: the land rears its ugly head, and so far as 138 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: military engagements are concerned. So anyway, that's unfolding as we speak. 139 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: What else is going on that we can talk about today? 140 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: Of course, the shooting of the National Guard folks, Trump 141 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: freezing asylum claims, and one of the problems that we 142 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: are facing in how White House borders are. Tom Holman's 143 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: kind of summed it up. There's all this vetting problem, 144 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: and so when you have Afghani nationals like the one 145 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: that was committed murder and killing a couple of National 146 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: Guard folks, and you start talking about, well, well that person 147 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: properly vetted, and Tom Homan pointed out the problem with 148 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: that there are there is no way that we can 149 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: even begin to vet the millions of people that came 150 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: from third world countries because they don't have any information 151 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: on them. We talked about this long ago. Maybe it 152 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: was with the Afghanistan pull out, maybe it was during 153 00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: other periods of time. I know this is a problem 154 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: that's been existing vetting people on the border. How do 155 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: you vet someone? It was under the Biden administration. We're 156 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: all alarmed about the tens of millions of people that 157 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: were flowing over the southern border. Who are these people, 158 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: where do they come from? Do they have criminal backgrounds? Well, 159 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,199 Speaker 1: apparently a lot of them do. A lot of them 160 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: were dumped out of the various prisons around the world. 161 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 1: We don't want our prisoners, we don't have to take 162 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: care of these crazy thug murder or rapist. Let's just 163 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: ship them to the United States southern border. Hey, where 164 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: are you from? Pick a country? Got any papers? Nope, 165 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 1: they don't issue them where we're from. How many documents 166 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: do you think the afghan the Afghanistani people, the gut, 167 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: whatever form of government, the Taliban or whoever was running Afghanistan. 168 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: You had decade of plus conflict with the Soviet Union 169 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 1: running it. I'm sure there was no record keeping. Then 170 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 1: we go in and we're there for fifteen years or whatever. 171 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 1: Do you think there was any record keeping going on 172 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: during that period of turmoil? Probably not ergo, you don't 173 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 1: know if this person's a member of Terosta organization or not. 174 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: There's no way to ever figured out. 175 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 2: So. 176 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 1: And it's of course Afghanistan. It's not the only country. 177 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: A lot of these third world countries have zero zero 178 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: zero tracking. I mean Homean summed it up quite nicely, 179 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: all well, And the same thing with illegal aliens of 180 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: the over ten million that came across the border under 181 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, there's no way to vet these people, he 182 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: said yesterday. You think El Salvador, or Turkey or Sudan 183 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 1: or any of these countries have databases or system checks 184 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: that we have. Do you think the governments of China, Russia, Turkey, 185 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: do you think they're going to share that data with us? 186 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: Even if they do have it. There's no way to 187 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: clearly vet these people one hundred percent that they're safe 188 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: to come into this country from these third world nations. Well, 189 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: I think that is in a demonstrably true statement. How 190 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: do you vet him? And Trump said, listen, if you 191 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: can't prove but these folks are safe, they're not terrorists, 192 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: it's like trying to prove a negative, then they're going 193 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: to be kicked out or they're going to be denied 194 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: entry into our country. Now, if your job, and I 195 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:15,839 Speaker 1: believe it is the president's job, is to protect the 196 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: American people and it's interest, then they are taking the 197 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: right tact on that. But it does create complications and 198 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: of course dust off the ACLU and all the civil 199 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: rights attorneys out there who are talking about due process 200 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: and these people need a day in court, et cetera, 201 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 1: et cetera. This is, I believe, to my military personnel, 202 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: the true definition of a Charlie Fox Trot five three seven, 203 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: four nine fifty five eight hundred and two to three 204 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: talk pound FI fifty on AT and T phones. Talk 205 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: about whatever you want to talk about. Feel free to 206 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: get my motor run in this morning as I try 207 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: to wake up from a wonderful period of time. Off 208 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:53,319 Speaker 1: be right back fifty five krc after that with a 209 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: high thirty three overnight twenty cloudy and on Wednesday at 210 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: partly cloudy day. Some sun is possible to for Thursday anyway, 211 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: you gotta wait for it. Thirty six to high on Wednesday, 212 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: it's twenty seven degrees. Right now, I think about car 213 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: see the talk station there it is, so I have 214 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: twenty one. I haven't done a PLAGU update in a 215 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: long time. Since I don't have any calls on the line, 216 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: I want to talk about something more important. Let's talk 217 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: about a PLAG update. I guess maybe marijuana not as 218 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: safe as many have counted it to be. A couple 219 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: articles related to it. Court of the Journal of American 220 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: Medical Association did a study. They reviewed all the randomized 221 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: clinical trials and there's not enough of them out there. 222 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 1: They published last week Cardiovascular and Psychiatric Health Risk from 223 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: smoking medical marijuana. And the funny thing is the article 224 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: focuses on medical marijuana, which is that you know you 225 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: get a card issued by a doctor saying this is 226 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: going to benefit you for you know, insomnia or whatever. 227 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,079 Speaker 1: Some of the states have legal categories that if you're 228 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: struggling from some particular ailment, then medical marijuana can be 229 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: quote unquote. So there's not a whole lot of studies 230 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: done on this because it's scheduled one under federal law prohibits, 231 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: you know, researchers from doing a lot of studies into 232 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: the downside effects of it. So it's so far as 233 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: the medical concerns or medical uses, they're just basically saying, now, 234 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: it's really not there. There's there's so much downside risk 235 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: and smoking weed compared to the so called potential benefits 236 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: from smoking weed that it may not be worth it 237 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: and we need to do more study. So I'll acknowledge that. 238 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:38,719 Speaker 1: But here's one. You know, anybody that's been having a 239 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: problem with scramating, I actually know someone who's struggle with 240 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: this scrammating. You're smoking a lot of weed, You've got 241 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: a problem on your hands. Maybe a large percentage of 242 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 1: folks study sudden stomach churning attacks, doubling over in pain 243 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: lasting for hours, and the the only relief that seems 244 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: to that it can be provided to these people dealing 245 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: with what they call cannabis hyper emesis syndrome CCHS, caused 246 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 1: by smoking weed triggers relentless nausea, abdominal pain, and severe 247 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: vomiting that can strike four or five times an hour. 248 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: Symptoms usually appear within twenty four hours of smoking the weed. 249 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: They say the episodes are so brutal that er staff 250 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: have coined the term scrammeting, which is a mashup of 251 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: screaming and vomiting. Most doctors don't draw a connection between 252 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: the pain that these people are experiencing in the er 253 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: with smoking wheed. Person will often have multiple emergency department 254 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: visits until it's correctly recognized, which, of course, if you 255 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: know how much it costs going to an ER, if 256 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of dollars for something that can be 257 00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: avoided just simply by not smoking weed at all. FDA 258 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: approved therapies for this problem, They say it can be 259 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: difficult to treat standard anti nausea medications do not work. 260 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: These are all statements sided by various doctors that were 261 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: in the article. Some patients find limited relief caused by 262 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: rubbing cap satan cream on their stomachs, but also hot 263 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: baths and showers are a key indicator because if you 264 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: find yourself in the shower hot showers dealing with this 265 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: nausea and vomiting, and you have to acknowledge to in 266 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: the back of your head that hm, I was smoking weed. 267 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: Maybe that's the connection. Then maybe you should be drawing 268 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: that connection because apparently the hot showers are the only 269 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: thing that relieves the symptoms. Get out of the hot shower, 270 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: the symptoms come back. It says some people are in 271 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: the shower or even a hot bath for hours every day. 272 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: Accord to one of the doctors, that's something that can 273 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: clinch the diagnosis for me when someone says they're better 274 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: with the hot shower. This doctor, patients describe going through 275 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: all the hot water in their house. So let me 276 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: just interject a free spot for plumb type plumbing. Tankless 277 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: water heater would solve the problem. So if you're struggling 278 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: with scrammating and you find yourself running out of water 279 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: while you're still experiencing the pain and agony, a tankless 280 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: water system may be in your future. So they say, 281 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: addiction often makes abstinence a major challenge because the key 282 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: to stopping scrammating. Once it starts, you never know what 283 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: it's going to hit. Strikes intermittently and even the tiniest 284 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: little bit of weed smoking can trigger it. So you 285 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: gotta quit or you're going to be continuing struggling with 286 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: this peril for I guess as long as you decide 287 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: that it's a okay to smoke weed, so you've got 288 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: insufficient evidence for health claims from the medical marijuana community. 289 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: And finally you have the whole huge problem apparently of scrammating, 290 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: which effects of a fairly sizable chunk of the weed 291 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: smokers out there. This has been your day, first day 292 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: of December. Plague update. Thank you, Joe Strecker.

Thank you and for 302 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: saving me from the obligation to find some topic to 303 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: talk about. 304 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 4: God, God forbid, you got to come up with something 305 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 4: to talk about. 306 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: I'm surrounded by stuff to talk about. Tom, It's just 307 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 1: my brain is not in a picking pick an item 308 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 1: to talk about mood. I'd rather just, like, you know what, 309 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: what if the listeners want to talk about what's on 310 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: their mind. So anyway, that's how I ended up talking 311 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 1: about bombing Venezuela to start with. You know, dealer's choice. 312 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess you had a pretty good time off 313 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 4: several days. 314 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: There, right, it was wonderful. Yeah, it really will. Except 315 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: I got to tell you this is the weirdest thing. 316 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 5: Man. 317 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: Do you ever have a terrible night's sleep where the 318 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: same dream keeps popping in your head? It feels like 319 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: it lasts all night and it's a disturbing dream, but 320 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 1: it's relentless. You wake up, you go back to sleep, 321 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: You're back in the same mode, in the same dream mode. 322 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 1: I dreamt about a dystopian. I'm serious. Here sounds like 323 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: a fifty five Casey Morning Show topic. And maybe this 324 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: goes I was reading articles, but just the the the 325 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 1: influx of illegal immigrants, the cultural shifts that's happening in Europe, 326 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: It's happening here, this sort of global rebalancing of what 327 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: cultures are. I actually dreamt about Eugene Debs, the socialist, 328 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: communist guy. I believe he ran for president.

I was trying to be good. 450 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 2: So they did arrest me for assault. I went to court. 451 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 2: I said I want a jury trial, and I had 452 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 2: a great lawyer, and the lawyer said, what's a public defender, 453 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 2: by the way, and the lawyer said, yeah, we should 454 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 2: have a jury trial.

I know China's been making interested in making 660 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,839 Speaker 1: inroads into South America for a long long time. Maybe 661 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 1: Venezuela is the key to that or not, but certainly 662 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 1: for decades now that China has made territorial claims to 663 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 1: the South China Sea, it's been building its own islands 664 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 1: i e. Military bases there for a long long time 665 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 1: with no response from any administration. I don't know that 666 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,160 Speaker 1: we have any territorial or we don't have any defense obligations. 667 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 1: I think we do with you. So if wars launched 668 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,319 Speaker 1: against Japan, then fine, we might have an obligation to 669 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 1: respond militarily. Not that that would be a pretty picture 670 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,280 Speaker 1: because wouldn't that mean World War three CJ. 671 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,880 Speaker 7: Well, absolutely, and we do have bases in both the 672 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:19,520 Speaker 7: Philippines in Japan. Sure, we do, and that immediately puts 673 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:20,280 Speaker 7: Our troops. 674 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 6: We have military bases in Okinawa, we have a keep 675 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 6: marine base and so yeah, and that truly puts US 676 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:29,840 Speaker 6: in the middle of it. And we have. 677 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,359 Speaker 7: Pred obligations to both the Philippines, which at one point 678 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:38,560 Speaker 7: we controlled, and Japan for the protection. The World War 679 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 7: two treaty is all about protection of Japan that they 680 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,800 Speaker 7: would have no military except for ours and our protection, 681 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 7: and it is I think with everything going on over 682 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:54,400 Speaker 7: in Asia, we are not putting enough visibility on the 683 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,799 Speaker 7: dangers that is going on in Japan and China right now. 684 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,000 Speaker 1: But what I mean if CJ you were the military commander, 685 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 1: or you're the commander and she or what would you 686 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,800 Speaker 1: do to deal with the obvious problems we got unfolding 687 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 1: in the South China Sea, Philippines. You know, obviously Taiwan's 688 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,360 Speaker 1: an issue. We don't have a defense obligation with Taiwan, 689 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,399 Speaker 1: and Trump seems to be taking a little bit more 690 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,440 Speaker 1: hands off is approach visa the Taiwan. I think because 691 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 1: of the complications associated with it. I don't know, Yeah, 692 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:22,920 Speaker 1: are we gonna send carrier groups over there? I mean, 693 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:24,920 Speaker 1: I know we've got some military presence. Of course, you 694 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 1: can ask cribbage Mike about the submarine presence there. Of course, 695 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,440 Speaker 1: we have subs all over the place. But what do 696 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 1: you do. 697 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 6: Well, we don't do. 698 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 7: The question is do we even have the navy to 699 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,200 Speaker 7: be able to do anything anymore because we have cut 700 00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:43,560 Speaker 7: back to maybe so much. We just canceled three or 701 00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,600 Speaker 7: four ships that I believe Trump in the first administration 702 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,560 Speaker 7: put on contracts on, but we were unable to even 703 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:54,319 Speaker 7: complete a number of those ships, so they canceled three more. 704 00:38:55,000 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 7: We like we have a serious defense problem. Yes, China has. 705 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:04,400 Speaker 7: There is population problem is they are starting to shrink. 706 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,799 Speaker 7: But that does not make the world a less dangerous place. 707 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 7: It probably makes the world a more dangerous place because 708 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:16,279 Speaker 7: you have China and eating people in order to keep 709 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,120 Speaker 7: their economy going. And if they're going to start talking 710 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 7: about some of these things, at what point do you 711 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,120 Speaker 7: put F sixteens or F thirty five's up over the 712 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 7: Philippines to say, hey, you're not allowed to fly in 713 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,600 Speaker 7: here anymore. This is the Philippine airspace. We are invited here, 714 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 7: you are not. 715 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,400 Speaker 6: And the same thing is through with Japan. 716 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 7: And then that's where the game of chicking ractors up another. 717 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,560 Speaker 1: Level and maybe hit the nail on the head of 718 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 1: why we don't do that. I mean, we're telling Venezuela 719 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,879 Speaker 1: that their military or their airspace has been shut down. 720 00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 1: We're threatening them with bombs on the ground, isn't it? 721 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 1: Because maybe Venezuela is an easy target. Their military is 722 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:57,359 Speaker 1: really built on ancient Russian and US equipment. I've read 723 00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,919 Speaker 1: that it's really really never been maintained, so they really 724 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: have not much of a military to speak of. They're 725 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,799 Speaker 1: an easy target to pick on. Not so with the Chinese. 726 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:11,080 Speaker 1: We start doing a flyovers and Philippines and flyovers in 727 00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,320 Speaker 1: Taiwan or flyers in the general area, doesn't that invite 728 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,879 Speaker 1: a potential conflict with China? Arago the World War III 729 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,160 Speaker 1: threat that we are concerned about. It's a military power 730 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,920 Speaker 1: that's got nuclear weapons. That's a that's a horse of 731 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:25,839 Speaker 1: a different color when it comes to you know, as 732 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 1: searching our strength and our military might. 733 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:33,440 Speaker 7: Absolutely and there and to your point about Venezuela, another 734 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:37,719 Speaker 7: big important factor with Venezuela is what what is the 735 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 7: number one thing everybody's looking for? Are these rare earth minerals. 736 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,839 Speaker 7: Venezuela does have a lot but they are still number 737 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,759 Speaker 7: two or number three in the world with oil, and 738 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,719 Speaker 7: it is we are not that far removed from Venezuela 739 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 7: being the richest country in the Western Hemisphere and not 740 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,319 Speaker 7: the US. I think it was up until about the 741 00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,920 Speaker 7: mid sixties that the average Venezuelan was far richer than 742 00:40:57,960 --> 00:40:59,400 Speaker 7: the average American. 743 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,640 Speaker 6: Because of all the oil that they had. And if 744 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,240 Speaker 6: you take away that oil from. 745 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:07,120 Speaker 7: China, maybe that helps cool down some of this stuff 746 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,960 Speaker 7: in Asia. And you know, and that is where we 747 00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 7: are at a point in Venezuela that I don't think 748 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 7: we can back down. I think we have crossed a 749 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,600 Speaker 7: red line because if we back down, it gives China 750 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,520 Speaker 7: more power, and it gives Maduro more power, and what 751 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,960 Speaker 7: does that do to the stability of South America. I 752 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:29,359 Speaker 7: would not be surprised if Maduro isn't given a free 753 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,960 Speaker 7: access to go elsewhere, that we don't go in there 754 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,719 Speaker 7: and do what we did with Noriega and force him out. 755 00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:41,360 Speaker 1: That all sounds like possibilities, It all sounds like plausible 756 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 1: maybe quote unquote solutions to a broader problem. But see, 757 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,680 Speaker 1: I'll go back to the Okay, if everything you say 758 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,319 Speaker 1: is true, and it's very accurate. I'm not disagreeing with 759 00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,920 Speaker 1: your assessment of global affairs, but if that as well 760 00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,279 Speaker 1: is the key, and this is a lynchpin for our 761 00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,280 Speaker 1: achieving some sort of power instability in South amaera America, 762 00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 1: we obviously have a drug problem. Does it not require 763 00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 1: some congressional authority? Does can Trump unilaterally do everything? Yeah? 764 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 1: I know. See there's the challenge and we live in 765 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,319 Speaker 1: such a screwed up country right now in so far 766 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,440 Speaker 1: as if Trump wants to do literally anything, and if 767 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,960 Speaker 1: you wanted to feed starving children, the Democrats are come 768 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,839 Speaker 1: out against it because well, evil Orange man, there's never 769 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:29,040 Speaker 1: a consensus about effective moving forward strategies. Okay, it's all accurate. 770 00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,160 Speaker 1: Listen to what CJ said. We all agree that this 771 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,600 Speaker 1: is the problem we're facing. These are the existential threats 772 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 1: posed by China and others. But what do we do 773 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,200 Speaker 1: about it? Well, we need some sort of authorization to 774 00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 1: deal with Venezuela. Do you think you can get it 775 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 1: in this divided Congress? Do you think they'll even pass 776 00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,120 Speaker 1: some sort of authorization for you some military force, because 777 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,280 Speaker 1: it's going to give Trump what he wants. I don't 778 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,279 Speaker 1: I think they're willing to put United States security, long 779 00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,879 Speaker 1: term security in total jeopardy just simply because they seem 780 00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 1: to be suffering collectively from Trump to arrangement syndrome. They're 781 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,080 Speaker 1: not looking out for our interest. They're looking out for 782 00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,800 Speaker 1: political division to score the next points as we approach 783 00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,680 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six elections, which is on everybody's mind 784 00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:07,200 Speaker 1: right now. 785 00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:14,520 Speaker 7: It's crazy, absolutely and even you know, and I don't want. 786 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,800 Speaker 2: To get too much into another rabbit hole, but you could. 787 00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,120 Speaker 7: Just see that this weekend with all the news out 788 00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 7: of Minnesota. 789 00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,440 Speaker 6: Somalia, nobody wants to cover that. 790 00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:24,879 Speaker 7: It's billions of dollars going to. 791 00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:30,360 Speaker 1: Somalia, exactly. Yeah, And that is insane. And that also 792 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,640 Speaker 1: is a good topic because one of the reasons nobody 793 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,840 Speaker 1: ever did anything about that is because everyone was apparently 794 00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:40,399 Speaker 1: afraid of being accused of racism for wanting to out 795 00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:44,080 Speaker 1: crack down on Somalian crime as if it's an attack 796 00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,560 Speaker 1: on all of the Somalian people when you go after 797 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,200 Speaker 1: certain groups of Somalians who are builking the system and 798 00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 1: ripping off the American tax payers for literally everything. Yeah, uh, 799 00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,200 Speaker 1: there's another factor you can add to the complications list. 800 00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:57,359 Speaker 2: There. 801 00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:00,320 Speaker 1: CJ. Appreciate your observations. Man, I think you summed it 802 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,160 Speaker 1: up quite nicely. It's a crazy world we live in, 803 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,400 Speaker 1: and sadly, our elected officials don't seem to want to 804 00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 1: play nicely together for our own collective benefit. Six sixteen 805 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:11,799 Speaker 1: Right now, maybe you got something else to say about that? 806 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,640 Speaker 1: Five one, three, seven, four, nine to fifty five hundred, 807 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:15,520 Speaker 1: eight hundred and eight twenty three talk Feel free to 808 00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:20,680 Speaker 1: call Chimneycare Fireplace and Stuff Talk station. It is six 809 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,720 Speaker 1: twenty one to fifty five Kerr City Talk Station. Appreciate 810 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,759 Speaker 1: CJ mentioning Tim Waltz in Minnesota and the problem within 811 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,080 Speaker 1: the Somali community. No, it is not an indictment of 812 00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,640 Speaker 1: every Somali that exists. It's an indictment of the huge, 813 00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:34,080 Speaker 1: massive fraud that generate that started within the Somali community. 814 00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,480 Speaker 1: This is kind of troubling to me. Prosecutor say they 815 00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:43,040 Speaker 1: siphon these these criminal elements within the broader Smali community. 816 00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:44,440 Speaker 1: Maybe you got the full set, then you got a 817 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,880 Speaker 1: subset subsets what we're talking about here. That's an important 818 00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,359 Speaker 1: thing to remember as we get into all the allegations 819 00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:54,399 Speaker 1: that are being thrown around about racism. Apparently stole over 820 00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:59,000 Speaker 1: one billion dollars from the state's social safety net programs 821 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,719 Speaker 1: by creating these fraud These entities that were engaged in 822 00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:05,880 Speaker 1: fraud within the SMALI community of Minnesota. Individual established companies 823 00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:09,480 Speaker 1: that build state agencies for services that weren't perform. I 824 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,160 Speaker 1: think they've had like seventy five people convicted so far 825 00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,960 Speaker 1: of this convicted that's you know, guilt beyond a reevez 826 00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:20,400 Speaker 1: will doubt or otherwise admitting to guilt. Federal prosecutors have 827 00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:24,880 Speaker 1: emphasized the seriousness of the cases. Career federal prosecutor Attorney 828 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,520 Speaker 1: Joseph Thompson warning of the scale of the fraud threatens 829 00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,200 Speaker 1: public confidence and stating the obvious that we need to 830 00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:35,080 Speaker 1: keep our eye on in all federal programs. No one 831 00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:38,240 Speaker 1: will support these programs if they continue to be riddled 832 00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,960 Speaker 1: with fraud. We're losing our way of life in Minnesota 833 00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,120 Speaker 1: in a very real way. Well it's not just Minnesota, 834 00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:46,040 Speaker 1: it's literally every fraud program or every program. Remember the 835 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,360 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen money, that's where a lot of this started from. 836 00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,920 Speaker 1: Give people the opportunity to dip their hand of the 837 00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,080 Speaker 1: cookie jar. They're going to do it, whether they're entitled 838 00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:58,000 Speaker 1: or not. This problem began in twenty twenty two. That's 839 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,239 Speaker 1: when it first emerged. Attorneys began executing fraud related to 840 00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:06,160 Speaker 1: the pandemic era child Nutrition program, a one program Feeding 841 00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:10,240 Speaker 1: our Future Minnesota nonprofit partner with dozens of local businesses 842 00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:14,520 Speaker 1: to claim reimbursements for tens of thousands of non existent meals. 843 00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:18,480 Speaker 1: What there's money spent on? Apparently luxury spending homes, vehicles, 844 00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:21,520 Speaker 1: and international real estate investments. That's where your tax payer 845 00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:27,200 Speaker 1: dollars went. Also funding terrorist organizations like Al Shabab. One 846 00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:31,560 Speaker 1: providing the autism program. Asha Faran Hassan accused of facilitating 847 00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:34,680 Speaker 1: fourteen million dollars in fraud. Her attorney, a guy named 848 00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:39,240 Speaker 1: Ryan Pagaya, said she started with good intentions but eventually 849 00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:45,239 Speaker 1: engaged in falsifying invoices and intends to plead guilty, even 850 00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,480 Speaker 1: saying no one was doing anything about the red flags. 851 00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:50,160 Speaker 1: It was like someone was stealing money from the cookie 852 00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:54,680 Speaker 1: jar and they kept refilling it. That's your oversight, or 853 00:46:54,800 --> 00:47:02,760 Speaker 1: rather lack thereof. Now here's your here's your reason behind 854 00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:06,560 Speaker 1: why nobody was going after him? Why did state officials hesitate? 855 00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:11,400 Speaker 1: Why do they not intervene concerns over accusations of racism 856 00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:16,000 Speaker 1: or political backlash. Oh, we can't go after them. We're 857 00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,840 Speaker 1: going to be accused of being racist or anti Somali 858 00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:22,600 Speaker 1: or some nonsense like that. A report by Minnesota's Office 859 00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:28,480 Speaker 1: of Legislative Auditor found that threats of discrimination lawsuits ultimately 860 00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:32,360 Speaker 1: influence regulatory decisions. Oh, the mere threat of a lawsuit. 861 00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:34,279 Speaker 1: Oh wait a minute, We've got allegations of fraud. We've 862 00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,439 Speaker 1: got illustrations of fraud. We can see it right here 863 00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:39,440 Speaker 1: on paper. These people aren't getting meals. Yeah, but we 864 00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:41,880 Speaker 1: don't want to be accused of discrimination to have to 865 00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:46,719 Speaker 1: face a lawsuit. This including early warnings issue by that 866 00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:51,080 Speaker 1: Feeding our Futures program I just mentioned, challenging claims from 867 00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:56,120 Speaker 1: minority owned businesses would trigger litigation in public accusations cower 868 00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,160 Speaker 1: behind the accusation, and so many people are guilty of this. 869 00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,759 Speaker 1: Our elected official are. I don't want to be labeled 870 00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,680 Speaker 1: to racist. Is there any proof that you are a racist? 871 00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,440 Speaker 1: Anybody who cowers in the face of that allegation, I 872 00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:13,080 Speaker 1: think maybe themselves actually are racist or something. If you're 873 00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,160 Speaker 1: not a racist, then you're just trying to enforce the law. 874 00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,440 Speaker 1: Why would you be worried about someone claiming your a racist. 875 00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:19,680 Speaker 1: Those people are flinging allegations like that all over the 876 00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,840 Speaker 1: place twenty four to seven. Just add it to the list. 877 00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:28,440 Speaker 1: One former fraud investigator investigator at the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, CASEE. Meghan, 878 00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:33,840 Speaker 1: said that pushed back contributed to reluctance among Democratic officials. Quote, 879 00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:39,320 Speaker 1: there is a perception, notice the emphasis, that forcefully tackling 880 00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 1: this issue might cause political backlash among the Somali community. 881 00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:47,400 Speaker 1: Here's the salient point, folks, She concludes with, which is 882 00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:52,840 Speaker 1: a core voting block. Oh, we don't want to piss 883 00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,480 Speaker 1: off the criminal element within the Somali community because they 884 00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:58,640 Speaker 1: won't vote for us anymore. So we should ignore crime 885 00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:01,280 Speaker 1: and allow it to perpetuate and resulting a billion dollars 886 00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,919 Speaker 1: ripped off from the taxpayer because we want to keep 887 00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:06,879 Speaker 1: the votes. Yes, that's how shallow your politicians are. That's 888 00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,440 Speaker 1: how much they care about you and the taxpayer dollars 889 00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:15,800 Speaker 1: they stole from your pocket. They got one illustration of 890 00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:19,520 Speaker 1: courtroom misconduct. They claimed defendants attempted to bribe a juror 891 00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:22,479 Speaker 1: with one hundred and twenty thousand dollars in a note 892 00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:27,239 Speaker 1: asking quote, why is it always people of color and 893 00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:31,160 Speaker 1: immigrants prosecuted for the fault of other people? What other 894 00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:35,080 Speaker 1: people are at fault? Oh, that's right, every other human 895 00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:37,799 Speaker 1: being of any race, color, creed that ripped off any 896 00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:39,959 Speaker 1: of the programs that they shouldn't have been taken money 897 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:41,640 Speaker 1: out of. And I've got a lot of illustrations of 898 00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:50,760 Speaker 1: those programs. And criminals, white, black, yellow, Muslim, Christian, Jew, 899 00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:55,480 Speaker 1: everybody of every race, affiliation, religious afiliate. Everybody on some 900 00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:59,040 Speaker 1: level or at least a subset of every community that 901 00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,640 Speaker 1: exists in the world is participated in fraud because we 902 00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:06,640 Speaker 1: don't care about fraud or tracking it down. That attorney 903 00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,839 Speaker 1: Thompson I mentioned before argue that heightened racial sensitivities after 904 00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:14,280 Speaker 1: George Floyd's death back in twenty twenty affected oversight and enforcement, 905 00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:18,800 Speaker 1: saying this was a huge part of the problem. Allegations 906 00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:23,360 Speaker 1: of racism can be a reputation or career killer. Yeah, 907 00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:28,480 Speaker 1: if you'll let it be, you succumb to the allegation 908 00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:32,360 Speaker 1: and cower in front of it.

He's a professor at McAllister College, and 988 00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:55,440 Speaker 1: he was quoted. I believe it was by the New 989 00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:58,759 Speaker 1: York Times, of all of all places. He pointed out 990 00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:01,359 Speaker 1: that Somali refugees who came to the United States after 991 00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:04,560 Speaker 1: their country's civil war were raised in a culture in 992 00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:09,440 Speaker 1: which stealing from the country's dysfunctional and corrupt government was widespread, 993 00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:15,160 Speaker 1: and he says Minnesota provides a proved susceptible to rampant 994 00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:19,840 Speaker 1: fraud because it is, in his words, so tolerant, so open, 995 00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:23,439 Speaker 1: and so geared toward keeping an eye on the weak. 996 00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:28,759 Speaker 1: Now couple this with the whole vetting concept, and I'm 997 00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:32,080 Speaker 1: not sure what percentage of the eighty thousand Somalians in 998 00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:36,800 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Somali community alone are illegally in our country 999 00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,719 Speaker 1: or are legally in our country. But this is a 1000 00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:43,759 Speaker 1: cultural I guess normal least according to the professor, it's 1001 00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:46,600 Speaker 1: just ripping off the government when you have a corrupt government, 1002 00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:48,120 Speaker 1: and maybe you feel it's the right thing to do. 1003 00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,040 Speaker 1: Oh they're not serving me, well, I'll just go ahead 1004 00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:53,160 Speaker 1: and take my slice. And couple that with this blame 1005 00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:55,880 Speaker 1: game going on. I knew Donald Trump referred to Governor 1006 00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:59,759 Speaker 1: Waltz as retarded, which really I thought it was kind 1007 00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,880 Speaker 1: of fun because in the context of calling someone that 1008 00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:09,600 Speaker 1: word when they are obviously not truly cognitively impaired, he's 1009 00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,360 Speaker 1: not casting aspersions on someone who it was out of 1010 00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:15,400 Speaker 1: their hands. He's commenting on something that was demonstrably stupid 1011 00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:17,440 Speaker 1: in the face of what probably should have been done, 1012 00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:20,920 Speaker 1: which is maybe pay attention to the four hundred employees 1013 00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:24,279 Speaker 1: of the Minnesota Department of Health of Human Services, which 1014 00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:27,520 Speaker 1: well brought to Governor Tim Waltzs's attention that there was 1015 00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:30,360 Speaker 1: all kinds of fraud going on, issuing warnings relating to 1016 00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:33,960 Speaker 1: and apparently he was retaliating against whistleblowers who actually had 1017 00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:39,440 Speaker 1: the audacity to mention that crime was occurring. Minnesota Department 1018 00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:44,520 Speaker 1: of Human Services employees account. It's an ex account which 1019 00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:47,280 Speaker 1: they say consists of more than four hundred and eighty 1020 00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:51,759 Speaker 1: current staff members at the Minnesota DHS, claiming Waltz is 1021 00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:54,759 Speaker 1: one hundred percent responsible for the massive fraud of Minnesota. 1022 00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:57,880 Speaker 1: Here's what they had to say. We let Tim Waltz 1023 00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:01,279 Speaker 1: know a fraud early on, hoping for a partnership and 1024 00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:06,680 Speaker 1: stopping fraud, but no, we got the opposite response. Tim 1025 00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:13,279 Speaker 1: Walls systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring threats, repression, and 1026 00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:17,000 Speaker 1: did his best to discredit fraud reports. In addition to 1027 00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:20,840 Speaker 1: retaliate against whistleblowers, Tim Walltz disempowered the Office of the 1028 00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:26,080 Speaker 1: Legislative Auditor, allowing agencies to disregard their audit findings and 1029 00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:29,640 Speaker 1: guidance audit findings that apparently revealed the level of fraud 1030 00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:36,040 Speaker 1: that was going on among these various programs ongoing problems. 1031 00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:39,720 Speaker 1: Walts addressed the fraud at a press conference last week, 1032 00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:42,760 Speaker 1: saying it undermines trust in the government and undermines programs 1033 00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:45,640 Speaker 1: that are absolutely critical and improving quality of life. Yeah, 1034 00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:48,040 Speaker 1: that goes back to the quote from earlier. If you 1035 00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:50,000 Speaker 1: don't have faith in these programs, you're not going to 1036 00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,920 Speaker 1: be supporting the programs. Programs that might very well help 1037 00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:58,400 Speaker 1: some people, but only if they are, you know, run 1038 00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:01,960 Speaker 1: with an eye toward preventing fraud at the outset. I've 1039 00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,640 Speaker 1: made this parallel before. We hear from it every single 1040 00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:09,040 Speaker 1: week Tech Friday's Dave Hatter Internet of things devices never 1041 00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:12,600 Speaker 1: start with security. They always start with the dangly shining 1042 00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:15,000 Speaker 1: object that they think the world once they roll it out, 1043 00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:17,160 Speaker 1: without even considering the idea that it's going to be 1044 00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:20,000 Speaker 1: haven for hackers to crack into your home Wi Fi system. 1045 00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:24,600 Speaker 1: They don't care about it. We need to pass COVID relief. 1046 00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:27,280 Speaker 1: We need to throw a trillion dollars at COVID relief 1047 00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:31,600 Speaker 1: with not an ounce of protection built into the outset 1048 00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:37,680 Speaker 1: which would stop fraud at the beginning. So that requires 1049 00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:40,480 Speaker 1: individuals within the programs to raise it to the attention 1050 00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:42,520 Speaker 1: of the officials and bring the fraud of their attention. 1051 00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:45,120 Speaker 1: But it requires a willing administration to say, you know what, 1052 00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:49,440 Speaker 1: go for it instead. Apparently, according to at least the 1053 00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:52,160 Speaker 1: four hundred employees in the Minnesota Department of Human Services, 1054 00:58:52,360 --> 00:59:00,080 Speaker 1: he basically gave him the metaphorical middle finger and threatened them. Now, 1055 00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:06,200 Speaker 1: the big question is why do these eighty thousand members 1056 00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:08,320 Speaker 1: of the small community. Are they collectively going to reject 1057 00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:14,720 Speaker 1: Tim Walls for going after fraud? Do you want a 1058 00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:19,200 Speaker 1: vote from someone who is giving you a vote because 1059 00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:22,920 Speaker 1: you allow for this fraud to run rampant? If you're 1060 00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,440 Speaker 1: a taxpayer voter, I would like to think that no, 1061 00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:27,880 Speaker 1: you would want to stop the fraud because your money, 1062 00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:30,720 Speaker 1: your labor, your effort is being taken from you and 1063 00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:37,280 Speaker 1: funding this fraud ridden program. This frightening stuff going on, 1064 00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:39,240 Speaker 1: and then, notably, it even gets even worse when you 1065 00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:41,520 Speaker 1: realize a lot of these fraud dollars not only went 1066 00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:44,920 Speaker 1: to real estate, luxury items, ripping off, taking food out 1067 00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:47,680 Speaker 1: of the mouths of needy children, and well, much like 1068 00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:51,240 Speaker 1: the original creators of Black Lives Matter going out and 1069 00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:56,360 Speaker 1: buying five million dollar mansions with your corporate pressure donation. 1070 01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:08,480 Speaker 1: I the system apparently is broken. Jay's on the phone. 1071 01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:09,560 Speaker 1: You're gonna have held on one minute. 1072 01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:09,760 Speaker 2: Jay. 1073 01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:10,960 Speaker 1: You know I love hearing from you, but I got 1074 01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:13,520 Speaker 1: to take a break at six forty six in fifty 1075 01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:18,360 Speaker 1: five KRCD talk station and a recommend six fifty five 1076 01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:21,760 Speaker 1: car CD talk station. Yeah, very happy Monday to you. 1077 01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:22,560 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1078 01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:26,560 Speaker 1: The word is scromining. It's the cannabis hypermesis syndrome. I 1079 01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:30,160 Speaker 1: was joking around the plumb Ti Club plumbing tankless water 1080 01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:34,000 Speaker 1: heater commercial. But there's now a code for that that 1081 01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:36,400 Speaker 1: doctors will be placing on your medical record if they 1082 01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:40,440 Speaker 1: determine that you have a cannabis hypermesis syndrome. That way, 1083 01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:42,280 Speaker 1: when you end up in the hospital again because of 1084 01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:45,360 Speaker 1: the wrenching abdominal pain, they'll be able to know that, well, 1085 01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:49,800 Speaker 1: it's because you're smoking weed and stop it. The only 1086 01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:52,040 Speaker 1: cure for it, at least as of right now. So 1087 01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:54,800 Speaker 1: with that further ado, Jay, thanks for calling this morning, 1088 01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:55,720 Speaker 1: and a happy Monday to you. 1089 01:00:56,960 --> 01:01:01,840 Speaker 9: Hey, Happy Monday.

And I've never gotten over 1097 01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:18,280 Speaker 1: the reality that people from all over the country can 1098 01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:20,000 Speaker 1: call in and can listen to the show. It just 1099 01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:20,919 Speaker 1: tickles me to death. 1100 01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:21,200 Speaker 5: Man. 1101 01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:24,320 Speaker 9: Oh not only that, but I tell the listeners that 1102 01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:26,400 Speaker 9: they probably already know this. But for those who don't, 1103 01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:28,920 Speaker 9: you miss the Brian Thomas Show, you can listen to 1104 01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:33,200 Speaker 9: it anytime of any day, Saturday, Sunday.

Just the amount 1110 01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:53,000 Speaker 9: of waste, broad and abuse going on up there. We 1111 01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:56,720 Speaker 9: have still in Ohio, we have no reason to believe 1112 01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:01,560 Speaker 9: that we're not last place in fifty states, worse than 1113 01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:05,400 Speaker 9: the nation, and because nobody has produced the data to 1114 01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:08,120 Speaker 9: say otherwise. The last report we've got thanks to I 1115 01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:11,120 Speaker 9: think it was either Judicial Watch or Americans for Prosperity. 1116 01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:13,480 Speaker 9: I learned about it by listening to your program. This 1117 01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:18,240 Speaker 9: was Brice had to be four five years ago. Somebody 1118 01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:22,000 Speaker 9: did a Foyer request one of those good organizations and 1119 01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:25,920 Speaker 9: c MMS, which is the organization the Federal head of 1120 01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:31,080 Speaker 9: Medicaid and medicare as a mandatory annual report that they produced. 1121 01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:33,720 Speaker 9: The show's the amount of fraud by state, and Ohio 1122 01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:38,840 Speaker 9: was worst. Now we've not heard a peep from our 1123 01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:42,280 Speaker 9: elected representatives in this glorious red state of ours. I 1124 01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:44,400 Speaker 9: would expect this sort of thing to go on in 1125 01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:48,240 Speaker 9: a blue state. Doesn't really shock me, And as time 1126 01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:50,360 Speaker 9: goes on, I'm really not surprised to see it going 1127 01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:53,439 Speaker 9: on in a purple state like Ohio. But I would 1128 01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:57,640 Speaker 9: love for somebody. We've got this this star chamber called 1129 01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:02,600 Speaker 9: the Joint Medicaid Oversight Committee, and Jennifer Gross is probably 1130 01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:05,720 Speaker 9: the best member on there to come forward and give 1131 01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:09,120 Speaker 9: us an update of where are we can somebody please 1132 01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:12,120 Speaker 9: get the facts in the data from the mandatory report 1133 01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:16,400 Speaker 9: that Obama said, don't worry about producing. That wasn't his call. 1134 01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:17,880 Speaker 9: By law, they have to produce it. 1135 01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:19,080 Speaker 8: But it seems like. 1136 01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:21,640 Speaker 9: Nobody really cares that that's not being sent out and 1137 01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:24,720 Speaker 9: that daylight's not being shined on the amount of medicaid 1138 01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:27,440 Speaker 9: fraud by waste. You cannot find it. I can't find it. 1139 01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:33,600 Speaker 9: So would somebody please step up. Jennifer Gross, if you're listening, 1140 01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:36,760 Speaker 9: could you give us an update where does Ohio rank 1141 01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:37,840 Speaker 9: on Medicaid fraud? 1142 01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:40,880 Speaker 1: Well, hopefully now we'll be get getting some help from 1143 01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:44,320 Speaker 1: the Trump administration. Realize the Biden administration was not willing 1144 01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:47,080 Speaker 1: to share the federal data they have on this, and 1145 01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:50,600 Speaker 1: apparently Hchase Health and Human Services Department has let federal 1146 01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:54,680 Speaker 1: investigators know that he's now trying to help eliminate dual enrollment. 1147 01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:59,160 Speaker 1: They found massive, massive dual enrollment, which is basically fraud, 1148 01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:04,400 Speaker 1: which and they're telling states start looking into eligibility. Here's 1149 01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:08,320 Speaker 1: the data, so cross checking against your information. They said 1150 01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:10,360 Speaker 1: the review of the summer. Over the summer, two point 1151 01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:12,920 Speaker 1: eight million people in twenty twenty four were either claiming 1152 01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:18,920 Speaker 1: Medicaid or Chip benefits in multiple states, or we're enrolled 1153 01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:22,720 Speaker 1: in both programs as well as Obamacare getting the tax credit, 1154 01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:26,120 Speaker 1: even though those tax payer funded benefits are supposed to 1155 01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:28,920 Speaker 1: be mutually exclusive. So the data has been rolled out, 1156 01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:30,880 Speaker 1: the states have been asked to use it. Some of 1157 01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:33,000 Speaker 1: them actually are, but then going back to your blue 1158 01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,040 Speaker 1: state commons, they're not really inclined to do that. So Jay, 1159 01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:38,840 Speaker 1: ask yourself why the Blue states aren't interested in ferreting 1160 01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:41,600 Speaker 1: out fraud, waste, and abuse of American tax payer dollars. 1161 01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:44,640 Speaker 1: I know you were talking about Medicaid fraud, but this 1162 01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:47,760 Speaker 1: is the same kind of thing. It's the lack of data. 1163 01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:49,760 Speaker 1: At least you could argue that up until now we 1164 01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:51,680 Speaker 1: didn't have the federal data to do a cross check. 1165 01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:56,160 Speaker 1: But now that we do, what's the excuse. There should 1166 01:04:56,200 --> 01:05:04,200 Speaker 1: be no excuse. Fraud harms every taxpayer. I don't care 1167 01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:06,440 Speaker 1: what political stripe you are. You can be a commie. 1168 01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:10,920 Speaker 1: If you're actually working for a living, then your money's 1169 01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:18,360 Speaker 1: being well used against you number one priority and that 1170 01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:21,920 Speaker 1: does not bear a political stripe. That is a pledge 1171 01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:25,440 Speaker 1: to people of all political stripes. I will not allow 1172 01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:29,400 Speaker 1: it on my watch. I wish we had more politicians 1173 01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:32,720 Speaker 1: or rule and make that pronounced of a statement. No 1174 01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:34,840 Speaker 1: fraud on my watch. I'm gonna do everything I can 1175 01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:37,880 Speaker 1: within my power, under any given committee or a program 1176 01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:40,480 Speaker 1: over which I have oversight to stop it from happening. 1177 01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:43,360 Speaker 1: Where's the data? Where's the reports? How Come there's been 1178 01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:45,760 Speaker 1: no follow up? How come we're not unilaterally engaging in 1179 01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:48,640 Speaker 1: efforts to eradicate fraud, waste and abuse here in our state. 1180 01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:52,000 Speaker 1: It's a damn good question. Six fifty six fifty five 1181 01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:53,960 Speaker 1: k c DE talk station.

So Gary Walton 1206 01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:20,600 Speaker 1: at eight oh five, you can be on the program 1207 01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:22,400 Speaker 1: right now if you like five one, three, seven, four, nine, 1208 01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:24,760 Speaker 1: fifty eight hundred eight two three taco with pound five 1209 01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:26,960 Speaker 1: fifty on at and t pundess. So moving away from 1210 01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:30,400 Speaker 1: fraud wasted abuse in every government program, most notably recently 1211 01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:34,920 Speaker 1: in Minnesota with the smaller community, I CJ brought up 1212 01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:37,600 Speaker 1: the existential threats we face our American military, and we 1213 01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:40,640 Speaker 1: have weapons depletion, everything that his brother wants weapons from 1214 01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:43,000 Speaker 1: the United States of America. We don't really have enough 1215 01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:45,520 Speaker 1: to wage our own war should become in a broader conflict, 1216 01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:50,080 Speaker 1: conflicts that may start involving Venezuela and dropping bombs on Venezuela. 1217 01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:52,760 Speaker 1: Got a problem with that. But we also have you know, 1218 01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:56,680 Speaker 1: South China Sea, as he brought up, Taiwan, Japan's being threatened. 1219 01:07:56,720 --> 01:07:59,520 Speaker 1: Now you can't overlook Russia, Ukraine, the problems in the 1220 01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:01,640 Speaker 1: Middle Eagut. I mean, we have challenges facing us all 1221 01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:05,640 Speaker 1: over the globe, but I worry more about the waging 1222 01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:08,520 Speaker 1: of war that is literally going on. Of course, we 1223 01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:11,600 Speaker 1: have the undermining of our psychology brought to you by 1224 01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:16,559 Speaker 1: social media. Our children are really struggling psychologically speaking, because 1225 01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:19,400 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, they can't put down the damn devices. 1226 01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:22,280 Speaker 1: A lot of manipulation, a lot of propaganda flowing in 1227 01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:25,719 Speaker 1: over social media. We have the problems with hacking, clearly 1228 01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:28,960 Speaker 1: a huge problem. Even happened locally here in one of 1229 01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:32,320 Speaker 1: our local communities. Hacking shutting down systems, whether it's just 1230 01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:36,040 Speaker 1: criminal elements or nefarious actors like our foreign enemies getting 1231 01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:38,920 Speaker 1: involved in it. We know many illustrations of Chinese hacking 1232 01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:42,719 Speaker 1: operations breaking into our grid. We had the financial system 1233 01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:45,040 Speaker 1: shut down the other day, the futures markets shut down 1234 01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:51,320 Speaker 1: because of one facility overheating outside of Chicago. And take 1235 01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:54,520 Speaker 1: that to the next level. They had one building overheated 1236 01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:56,880 Speaker 1: and futures trading was shut down, And in essence, I'm 1237 01:08:56,880 --> 01:08:59,320 Speaker 1: boiling it down to its boiled down points. But that's 1238 01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:02,360 Speaker 1: effectively what happens out for ten hours, it couldn't do 1239 01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:05,880 Speaker 1: any trading. What would happen if that happened to your 1240 01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:07,879 Speaker 1: bank account or your four to oh one K accounts 1241 01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:10,680 Speaker 1: or anything else like that scary stuff. So there's all 1242 01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:14,080 Speaker 1: that kind of war waging going on. But then there 1243 01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:16,680 Speaker 1: is what I believe to be the intentional undermining of 1244 01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:20,679 Speaker 1: the American people generally in the form of dumbing down 1245 01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:25,599 Speaker 1: our students, ultimately rendering them wards of the state because 1246 01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:27,760 Speaker 1: we don't do a very good job of educating them. 1247 01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:30,879 Speaker 1: And I brought up this University of California, San Diego, 1248 01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:35,280 Speaker 1: which ranks six on US News and War Reports College ranking. 1249 01:09:35,439 --> 01:09:37,479 Speaker 1: It's great, it's in the top ten. No it's not. 1250 01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:40,840 Speaker 1: But there was an elaboration on it. By list of 1251 01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:45,439 Speaker 1: Finley from just yesterday, Roughly one in eight freshman lack 1252 01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:49,760 Speaker 1: rudimentary high school math skills geometry, algebra and algebra two 1253 01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:56,120 Speaker 1: one in eight, and she points out against were students 1254 01:09:56,120 --> 01:09:59,639 Speaker 1: who had been placed in remedial high school math class 1255 01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:04,160 Speaker 1: and twenty twenty three had a roughly fifth grade level ability. 1256 01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:07,760 Speaker 1: These are high school students, folks. Only thirty nine percent 1257 01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:10,920 Speaker 1: could correctly round the number three hundred and seventy four 1258 01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:14,960 Speaker 1: five hundred and eighteen to its nearest one hundred, described 1259 01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:16,120 Speaker 1: as a third grade skill. 1260 01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:16,600 Speaker 10: It is. 1261 01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:22,120 Speaker 1: So many incoming students were numerically illiterate. The university there 1262 01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:28,120 Speaker 1: added remedial classes for middle and elementary school math. They 1263 01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:31,640 Speaker 1: say remarkably, among students placed into that math course, the 1264 01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:37,800 Speaker 1: remedial ninety four percent. This is again in college. You're 1265 01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:40,640 Speaker 1: doing remedial middle and elementary school math in college, and 1266 01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:47,200 Speaker 1: you're paying college credit level prices for this. Ninety four 1267 01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:52,320 Speaker 1: percent of those students had completed an advanced math class 1268 01:10:52,479 --> 01:10:55,519 Speaker 1: AP math class in high school that would be considered 1269 01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:59,719 Speaker 1: pre calculus, calculus, or statistics, and received an average grade 1270 01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:02,759 Speaker 1: of ANUS in their math courses. Talk about great inflation. 1271 01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:05,200 Speaker 1: The kids can't even compute at an eighth grade level, 1272 01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:08,519 Speaker 1: and yet they're passing with a's in an advanced placement 1273 01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:11,200 Speaker 1: course that's supposed to be calculus. Trust me, if you 1274 01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:16,040 Speaker 1: can't do algebra, you're not gonna be doing calculus. So 1275 01:11:16,160 --> 01:11:17,640 Speaker 1: she asked, you know, is this an indictment of the 1276 01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:22,240 Speaker 1: University of California's admissions B public K through twelve schools, 1277 01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:26,160 Speaker 1: c US News World Reports college rankings or D all 1278 01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:27,920 Speaker 1: of the above and if you had if you chose D, 1279 01:11:28,040 --> 01:11:31,080 Speaker 1: you're correct. Start with A. The admissions process. The Board 1280 01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:34,720 Speaker 1: of Regents at University of California did away with standardized 1281 01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:43,320 Speaker 1: tests as admission requirements under the guise of promoting equity. Apparently, 1282 01:11:43,439 --> 01:11:46,880 Speaker 1: some minority students scored lower on the SAT, so rather 1283 01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:50,639 Speaker 1: than try to elevate those scores, then they just got 1284 01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:53,920 Speaker 1: rid of it all together. I made a push to 1285 01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:57,280 Speaker 1: boost diversity and overall enrollment and ergo rake in more 1286 01:11:57,360 --> 01:12:00,400 Speaker 1: government and student a The UC San Diego admit an 1287 01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:04,479 Speaker 1: increased number of unqualified applicants from low income high schools. 1288 01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:09,080 Speaker 1: In order to holistically admit a diverse and representative class, 1289 01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:11,360 Speaker 1: we need to admit students who may be at a 1290 01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:15,439 Speaker 1: higher risk of not succeeding. That's in the report. Huh, 1291 01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:20,920 Speaker 1: so we're going to set them up for failure just because, 1292 01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:25,719 Speaker 1: oh and parenthetically saddle them with hundreds of thousands of debt. 1293 01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:28,519 Speaker 1: That is, unless the American taxpayer is paying for it. 1294 01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:33,200 Speaker 1: She points out, this is a grave disservice to ill 1295 01:12:33,240 --> 01:12:36,320 Speaker 1: prepared students who take longer to complete degrees and accrue 1296 01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:40,960 Speaker 1: more debt or drop out. Few, if any students who 1297 01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:44,679 Speaker 1: take remedial maths successfully complete an engineering degree. The report 1298 01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:49,200 Speaker 1: knows like you couldn't absent through report's findings. If I 1299 01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:53,000 Speaker 1: said your college level student can't even pass eighth grade 1300 01:12:53,080 --> 01:12:56,000 Speaker 1: level math, will they ever be able to get an 1301 01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:59,240 Speaker 1: engineering degree? I think your immediate logical responsibility. Well, of 1302 01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:02,200 Speaker 1: course not right. That's what the reports shows. So thank 1303 01:13:02,280 --> 01:13:06,879 Speaker 1: you report for stating the obvious. They say, the University 1304 01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:10,880 Speaker 1: of Mission Place admissions place a heavy emphasis on GPA's, 1305 01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:16,400 Speaker 1: but of course that doesn't reflect student preparation because of 1306 01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:20,280 Speaker 1: great inflation. Some students may also cheat their way to 1307 01:13:20,439 --> 01:13:24,479 Speaker 1: high school grades because of smartphones, artificial intelligence, everything that 1308 01:13:24,600 --> 01:13:27,880 Speaker 1: makes it easier to cheat. And they say, at the 1309 01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:31,639 Speaker 1: same time, Advance Placement tests and no, that's not set 1310 01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:33,479 Speaker 1: and act those are the tests when you get out 1311 01:13:33,479 --> 01:13:37,840 Speaker 1: of an AP course are less dependable. Why because the 1312 01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:42,000 Speaker 1: college Board has made the exams easier to pass, to 1313 01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:46,760 Speaker 1: encourage more students to take Advanced Placement classes. Yeah, go 1314 01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:48,960 Speaker 1: ahead and get an AP calculus When you can't even 1315 01:13:49,040 --> 01:13:53,800 Speaker 1: calculate two plus two is four or AD fractions, she says, 1316 01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:57,000 Speaker 1: call it vanity grading. Mediocre students now graduate with top 1317 01:13:57,160 --> 01:14:00,559 Speaker 1: GPAs and AP scores, which make parents feel better about 1318 01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:05,479 Speaker 1: their kids' public schools and eases political pressure for education reform. 1319 01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:08,000 Speaker 1: Come on, they're all getting as they must be doing great. 1320 01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:15,400 Speaker 1: They're all smart. Now enter college Reality Question B. The 1321 01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:19,840 Speaker 1: answer to your question B the public Key through twelve 1322 01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:25,560 Speaker 1: schools and grading. The report says students have been underserved 1323 01:14:26,439 --> 01:14:29,559 Speaker 1: by their prior schooling. Sure writes, no kidding. Only twenty 1324 01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:34,120 Speaker 1: two percent of twelfth graders scored proficient in math on 1325 01:14:34,240 --> 01:14:38,080 Speaker 1: the National Assessment of Educational Progress DEEP scores last year. 1326 01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:44,639 Speaker 1: That's the lowest on record. Isn't that heartbreaking? She also 1327 01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:47,000 Speaker 1: points out some of the best profession's best teachers, those 1328 01:14:47,080 --> 01:14:48,879 Speaker 1: that have been around a long time, that are capable 1329 01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:52,519 Speaker 1: who enter the profession when they well really had a 1330 01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:55,519 Speaker 1: desire for teaching and there were fewer women opportunities in 1331 01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:58,560 Speaker 1: the workforce. They're all retiring that get a load of this. 1332 01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:05,639 Speaker 1: The replacement are lacking. Teacher credential programs typically require only 1333 01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:12,120 Speaker 1: a C plus average in undergraduate education. Note that goes 1334 01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:15,920 Speaker 1: along with pervasive grade inflation in colleges. In colleges, so 1335 01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:22,120 Speaker 1: many young teachers find themselves with only fifth grade math 1336 01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:29,600 Speaker 1: skills that your college teachers and high school teachers. And 1337 01:15:29,640 --> 01:15:31,479 Speaker 1: of course, he said, so far as the US News 1338 01:15:31,520 --> 01:15:35,920 Speaker 1: and Ward Reports rankings don't pay attention to that. They 1339 01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:39,479 Speaker 1: say graduation and retention makes up the largest weight in 1340 01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:43,519 Speaker 1: the rankings, but gee, that might encourage colleges to inflate 1341 01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:47,400 Speaker 1: grades to ensure that unqualified applicants that they admit still graduate. 1342 01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:50,880 Speaker 1: Graduate employment outcomes account for only five percent of the 1343 01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:53,840 Speaker 1: rankings weight. So if you're choosing a college and they 1344 01:15:53,880 --> 01:15:57,360 Speaker 1: have an awesome job placement figure, wouldn't you think that 1345 01:15:57,400 --> 01:15:59,920 Speaker 1: would be to your child's best advantage because the act 1346 01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:03,280 Speaker 1: actually got a job out of the college education. US 1347 01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:08,200 Speaker 1: News doesn't seem to think so. And there are other 1348 01:16:08,760 --> 01:16:15,240 Speaker 1: points that are made here, but fundamentally, your children apparently 1349 01:16:15,280 --> 01:16:18,679 Speaker 1: are not being graded properly in K through twelve. They're 1350 01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:21,559 Speaker 1: being passed into higher levels in spite of the fact 1351 01:16:21,560 --> 01:16:24,920 Speaker 1: that they fail on the level that they're in. That's okay, 1352 01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:27,160 Speaker 1: They'll still get an A when they graduate. Everyone will 1353 01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:29,599 Speaker 1: think they're brilliant. They'll get into college and they will fail. 1354 01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:32,840 Speaker 1: They're set up for failure, and then they graduate. If 1355 01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:35,320 Speaker 1: they graduate, they stick it out with a degree that 1356 01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:39,439 Speaker 1: doesn't help them because the colleges aren't interested in finding 1357 01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:41,519 Speaker 1: jobs for the young people that are only interested in 1358 01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:49,160 Speaker 1: turning out diplomas and collecting tuition. In a world with 1359 01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:52,280 Speaker 1: artificial intelligence taking over more and more jobs, I only 1360 01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:57,720 Speaker 1: see a growing broader problem. Ask yourself this question. Is 1361 01:16:57,880 --> 01:17:02,200 Speaker 1: this which is truly going on? Well documented the great inflation? 1362 01:17:02,400 --> 01:17:04,800 Speaker 1: Passing children into college that are ready for college. All 1363 01:17:04,920 --> 01:17:07,320 Speaker 1: that is happening right now and has been for a 1364 01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:11,439 Speaker 1: long time. Question is it nefarious or are they just stupid? 1365 01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:15,720 Speaker 1: I am opting for the former. This seems to me 1366 01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:19,040 Speaker 1: to be a concerted effort to churn out dumb people 1367 01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:21,600 Speaker 1: who have nothing to look forward to than being and 1368 01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:26,160 Speaker 1: relying on some government program to feed them. Oh look, 1369 01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:30,080 Speaker 1: cook County, Illinois just established a permanent guaranteed income program 1370 01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:36,240 Speaker 1: free money just for breathing.

Welcome Christopher. I hope you had 1382 01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:09,719 Speaker 1: a wonderful Thanksgiving, my friend I did. 1383 01:18:09,680 --> 01:18:13,599 Speaker 8: And happy Thanksgiving to you and to your listening audience. 1384 01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:17,680 Speaker 8: And you know it was one of those Thanksgivings with 1385 01:18:18,680 --> 01:18:23,439 Speaker 8: the ambush of those two National Guard members. You know 1386 01:18:23,600 --> 01:18:28,120 Speaker 8: that captured my imagination, and you know you can put 1387 01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:31,559 Speaker 8: yourself in the place of those parents, you know, over 1388 01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:35,400 Speaker 8: Thanksgiving where their children went out at a very young 1389 01:18:35,479 --> 01:18:41,240 Speaker 8: age and signed up to serve our country. They're deployed 1390 01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:48,240 Speaker 8: legally on a domestic guard case, you know, in in DC, 1391 01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:52,120 Speaker 8: and then you wake up and somebody just randomly comes 1392 01:18:52,200 --> 01:18:57,280 Speaker 8: up shoots your daughter twice and then shoots your son 1393 01:18:57,320 --> 01:19:02,160 Speaker 8: in the head, and that's your thanksgiving. These families give 1394 01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:06,400 Speaker 8: so much to all of us. I'm so disappointed in 1395 01:19:06,479 --> 01:19:09,519 Speaker 8: seeing n and MSNBC. I think there are moments where 1396 01:19:10,439 --> 01:19:13,160 Speaker 8: I think that they can do better turning around, but 1397 01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:16,920 Speaker 8: they hit new lows because they were there trying to 1398 01:19:17,200 --> 01:19:21,280 Speaker 8: justify what happened, and so they're trying to pin the 1399 01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:24,679 Speaker 8: tail of a donkey by saying they shouldn't have been there. 1400 01:19:25,439 --> 01:19:28,240 Speaker 8: And if I'm a military family and I'm watching that, 1401 01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:31,880 Speaker 8: if I'm a veteran, veterans have served all over the world, 1402 01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:35,920 Speaker 8: all over this country. During COVID, we had the National 1403 01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:39,240 Speaker 8: Guard deployed all over in different parts of the country 1404 01:19:40,600 --> 01:19:42,400 Speaker 8: trying to tell us what we could and couldn't do. 1405 01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:47,000 Speaker 8: But these guardsmen are there just doing their job, and 1406 01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:50,040 Speaker 8: that's what we always have to remember. And I'm just 1407 01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:53,479 Speaker 8: blown away of why it's so partisan, Like this is 1408 01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:56,480 Speaker 8: a moment where whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, 1409 01:19:57,080 --> 01:20:00,160 Speaker 8: no matter what your political persuasion, is a libertarian an 1410 01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:03,439 Speaker 8: independent like me. This is where you say country first, 1411 01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:08,080 Speaker 8: and you just extend your deepest support and condolences to 1412 01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:12,160 Speaker 8: the family. You don't try to undermine orders of where 1413 01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:14,839 Speaker 8: they were. They're serving our country. 1414 01:20:14,920 --> 01:20:16,400 Speaker 2: They're doing what they're supposed to do. 1415 01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:19,280 Speaker 8: They're following the commander in chief, and that's what you do. 1416 01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:22,960 Speaker 8: And I just think it's so Unamerican to do anything 1417 01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:25,200 Speaker 8: other than what I'm saying right now. And I just 1418 01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:30,880 Speaker 8: want to say to the specialist Sarah Beckstrom who lost 1419 01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:36,280 Speaker 8: her life twenty years old a baby, and I want 1420 01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:40,320 Speaker 8: to acknowledge Andrew Woolf, who's in critical condition, who's fighting 1421 01:20:40,400 --> 01:20:42,479 Speaker 8: for his life. I think those are I think that's 1422 01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:46,080 Speaker 8: where I start. And these families are around his bedside 1423 01:20:46,160 --> 01:20:49,320 Speaker 8: right now. You know you're that you always wanted to 1424 01:20:49,360 --> 01:20:51,840 Speaker 8: be that great dad. You know I've always wanted to 1425 01:20:51,880 --> 01:20:55,080 Speaker 8: be that great dad. Like I'm involved in my kid's life, 1426 01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:59,120 Speaker 8: you're involved in your children's life. This is a massive 1427 01:20:59,240 --> 01:21:02,360 Speaker 8: moment for that Hire family, and I'm just looking for 1428 01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:04,960 Speaker 8: the whole country to wrap our arms around them and 1429 01:21:05,200 --> 01:21:07,800 Speaker 8: all those who are serving. You know, it doesn't matter 1430 01:21:07,840 --> 01:21:11,840 Speaker 8: where they're serving. Everyone is watching because one of their brotherns, 1431 01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:16,960 Speaker 8: one of their sisters has fallen and lost their life. 1432 01:21:17,560 --> 01:21:19,400 Speaker 8: So I just can't say enough about it, and I 1433 01:21:19,560 --> 01:21:21,760 Speaker 8: just want to want to send a message out. And 1434 01:21:21,840 --> 01:21:24,160 Speaker 8: I have a son, by the way, I do have 1435 01:21:24,240 --> 01:21:28,160 Speaker 8: a son. His name is Caleb, Caleb Smitherman, who's serving 1436 01:21:28,240 --> 01:21:31,200 Speaker 8: in the Guard right. He did four years active duty, 1437 01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:33,960 Speaker 8: but he's now back serving in the Guard. And so 1438 01:21:34,040 --> 01:21:36,160 Speaker 8: I'm one of those families where my son could be 1439 01:21:36,280 --> 01:21:39,719 Speaker 8: deployed any place in the world. So it's not fake 1440 01:21:39,840 --> 01:21:43,200 Speaker 8: for me. It's very real. And it you know, as 1441 01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:46,120 Speaker 8: I'm watching my son, you know, at Thanksgiving dinner, and 1442 01:21:46,200 --> 01:21:48,800 Speaker 8: I'm happy that I have him there. You know, we're 1443 01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:52,240 Speaker 8: all in a very solemn mood understanding that one of 1444 01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:55,840 Speaker 8: his lost their life and one is fighting for their life. 1445 01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:57,640 Speaker 8: And I think we just have to keep this in 1446 01:21:57,720 --> 01:22:01,120 Speaker 8: the forefront of our mind and keep this this political 1447 01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:05,479 Speaker 8: conversation that someone was having on CNN and MSNBC on 1448 01:22:05,640 --> 01:22:09,760 Speaker 8: who is responsible. The person responsible is the person from 1449 01:22:09,800 --> 01:22:13,120 Speaker 8: Afghanistan who's here here in our country, who decided to 1450 01:22:13,320 --> 01:22:18,080 Speaker 8: go in and take the life of Sarah Bestrom. That's 1451 01:22:18,120 --> 01:22:22,560 Speaker 8: who's responsible. It's not the gun, it's the person is 1452 01:22:22,640 --> 01:22:26,000 Speaker 8: the person here who engaged in terrorism in our country. 1453 01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:29,120 Speaker 1: Hey man, Christopher, I'm glad you brought that up, because 1454 01:22:29,120 --> 01:22:31,720 Speaker 1: of course he is a major tragedy. Let's pause when 1455 01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:33,479 Speaker 1: Christopher back, I always got a lot more on his mind. 1456 01:22:33,560 --> 01:22:36,040 Speaker 1: Will continue with the Smith event after I mention Jimney 1457 01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:41,519 Speaker 1: Carey talk station seven thirty. Here, if you have kr 1458 01:22:41,600 --> 01:22:44,120 Speaker 1: S talk station, we're continuing the conversation as we do 1459 01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:46,760 Speaker 1: every Monday with Christopher Smitheman. The Smith event is what 1460 01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:48,840 Speaker 1: we call it. Well, Christopher, what else is on your 1461 01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:49,559 Speaker 1: mind this morning? 1462 01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:55,200 Speaker 8: Well, we have this Tennessee election tomorrow, and I've been 1463 01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:58,280 Speaker 8: watching it very interesting because I think it has big 1464 01:22:58,360 --> 01:23:02,639 Speaker 8: implications in twenty twenty six and the balance of Congress. 1465 01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:06,080 Speaker 8: And I just never would believe that a person running 1466 01:23:06,160 --> 01:23:11,360 Speaker 8: for Congress would say things like I hate Tennessee. I 1467 01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:15,519 Speaker 8: hate country music. I mean country music made Tennessee. And 1468 01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:18,920 Speaker 8: they're in the running. I mean, this Democrat could win 1469 01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:23,120 Speaker 8: this race. So you know, she's running against this representative, 1470 01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:29,000 Speaker 8: this congressional member, Representative Epps, who's a veteran tied into 1471 01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:34,280 Speaker 8: my first segment. I believe he was a pilot businessman 1472 01:23:35,880 --> 01:23:39,880 Speaker 8: values lined up with Tennessee and he's fighting for his 1473 01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:42,920 Speaker 8: political life there as the Poland says. Now the Poland 1474 01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:46,879 Speaker 8: could be all could be wrong. I agree. Joe Strecker 1475 01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:48,400 Speaker 8: told me that, you know, as I was company. He says, 1476 01:23:48,439 --> 01:23:50,479 Speaker 8: look at smitham in the Poland could be wrong. But 1477 01:23:50,600 --> 01:23:54,879 Speaker 8: I'm even shocked that it's even somewhere close in Tennessee 1478 01:23:55,760 --> 01:23:57,360 Speaker 8: and it's just a race. I'm going to be watching 1479 01:23:57,439 --> 01:24:01,640 Speaker 8: tomorrow because I think it has tremendous implications about what 1480 01:24:01,800 --> 01:24:03,920 Speaker 8: could happen in twenty twenty six. This is a race 1481 01:24:04,200 --> 01:24:07,920 Speaker 8: that Republicans should easily win hand down, particularly the weak 1482 01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:10,160 Speaker 8: candidate on the other side, who's made a lot of 1483 01:24:11,280 --> 01:24:15,960 Speaker 8: really crazy statements about Tennessee. Whatever your politics are. I mean, 1484 01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:18,720 Speaker 8: if you just say I don't like Tennessee and I 1485 01:24:18,760 --> 01:24:22,800 Speaker 8: don't like country music, for most races, that would disqualify you. 1486 01:24:23,520 --> 01:24:26,840 Speaker 8: This one seems to ignite the Democratic candidate. And I 1487 01:24:26,960 --> 01:24:29,760 Speaker 8: just wonder whether the Republicans have it in them to 1488 01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:32,600 Speaker 8: show up in an off election and make sure that 1489 01:24:32,720 --> 01:24:37,640 Speaker 8: the House remains they remain controlled in control of it. 1490 01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:41,240 Speaker 1: It's interesting that you point to that particular statement. Now, 1491 01:24:41,320 --> 01:24:45,880 Speaker 1: grant you, Tennessee obviously huge country music. The Grand Old 1492 01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:50,000 Speaker 1: Opry's there. I mean it's but and it points out 1493 01:24:50,080 --> 01:24:54,200 Speaker 1: with two things. One, what politician from Tennessee would make 1494 01:24:54,280 --> 01:24:56,800 Speaker 1: an utterance like that, that's just dumb, even if you 1495 01:24:57,000 --> 01:24:59,720 Speaker 1: don't like country music. And here's Brian Thomas saying, you 1496 01:24:59,760 --> 01:25:03,360 Speaker 1: know what, some of it's okay, but I don't gravitate 1497 01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:05,360 Speaker 1: the country music very often, so it's is not my 1498 01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:09,320 Speaker 1: favorite genre. But I wouldn't insult the entire you know, 1499 01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:13,519 Speaker 1: country music audience or industry. So you don't touch that 1500 01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:16,080 Speaker 1: with a ten foot pole politically. But the other thing 1501 01:25:16,240 --> 01:25:20,840 Speaker 1: is that that matters in a political race, you know, 1502 01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:23,679 Speaker 1: I mean, wait a minute, what's your what's your favorite 1503 01:25:23,720 --> 01:25:25,720 Speaker 1: country music? Do you like country music? Is if that 1504 01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:28,160 Speaker 1: should be a defining factor whether or not you vote 1505 01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:31,160 Speaker 1: for someone to basically help run the state or run 1506 01:25:31,200 --> 01:25:31,679 Speaker 1: the country. 1507 01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:36,439 Speaker 8: I just think economically, it's one of those states where 1508 01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:42,000 Speaker 8: people travel there, you know, it's a centerpiece of their commerce. 1509 01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:46,360 Speaker 8: You know, country music, you know is where you know 1510 01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:49,840 Speaker 8: Dolly Partons. I mean, it's the whole thing. And I 1511 01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:53,400 Speaker 8: mean it's like it's not like you know, it's it's 1512 01:25:53,560 --> 01:25:56,400 Speaker 8: very different like coming to our to a state and say, man, 1513 01:25:56,439 --> 01:25:58,000 Speaker 8: I don't like the Bengals. I mean, you could be 1514 01:25:58,080 --> 01:26:01,160 Speaker 8: in Cleveland and they like the Cleland know, they like Cleveland. 1515 01:26:01,520 --> 01:26:03,720 Speaker 8: You know, this is like, you know, their state kind 1516 01:26:03,760 --> 01:26:07,080 Speaker 8: of you know, it dies on the vine based on 1517 01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:10,720 Speaker 8: this thing that they call country music. And just I 1518 01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:14,680 Speaker 8: I'm just shocked. You know, Tennessee again is one of 1519 01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:19,200 Speaker 8: those states like Alabama, you know, Mississippi, Florida. You know 1520 01:26:19,439 --> 01:26:23,640 Speaker 8: that that tends to be not very competitive for Democrats, 1521 01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:27,560 Speaker 8: and so this is very interesting this particular race. It 1522 01:26:27,600 --> 01:26:29,760 Speaker 8: should be no poland should be a twenty point lead 1523 01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:32,840 Speaker 8: for this military guy who's running. And in light of 1524 01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:36,519 Speaker 8: what just happened to these two National guardsmen, you would 1525 01:26:36,520 --> 01:26:39,040 Speaker 8: think it would wake up those in Tennessee. Maybe it 1526 01:26:39,160 --> 01:26:41,679 Speaker 8: does to come out and say, yeah, I'm gonna support 1527 01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:45,280 Speaker 8: this veteran who's given so much for our country. You know, 1528 01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:47,320 Speaker 8: I love it when you talk about the flight that 1529 01:26:47,439 --> 01:26:51,840 Speaker 8: you take. You know, I love hearing about them. You know, 1530 01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:55,200 Speaker 8: I love hearing about the the World War Two veterans, 1531 01:26:55,240 --> 01:26:59,400 Speaker 8: that generation you know that's that's dying off or you know, 1532 01:26:59,479 --> 01:27:02,679 Speaker 8: and they they gain so much for the United States, 1533 01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:04,880 Speaker 8: and you know, you just got to tip your hat. 1534 01:27:04,920 --> 01:27:07,840 Speaker 8: I can't go anywhere and see a veteran and say, hey, man, 1535 01:27:07,880 --> 01:27:11,040 Speaker 8: thanks for your service. If I see their hat, you know, 1536 01:27:11,320 --> 01:27:14,240 Speaker 8: or I see something on their car, because these are 1537 01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:17,680 Speaker 8: people I didn't serve. These are people that put me 1538 01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:19,680 Speaker 8: in a position to be able to make money in 1539 01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:23,200 Speaker 8: this country, live free, and without them on the line. 1540 01:27:23,320 --> 01:27:23,960 Speaker 2: Somewhere in this. 1541 01:27:24,080 --> 01:27:28,040 Speaker 8: World, whether it's Venezuela, whether it's China. You know, you 1542 01:27:28,160 --> 01:27:30,800 Speaker 8: and I don't have the freedoms. So I just don't 1543 01:27:30,880 --> 01:27:34,959 Speaker 8: understand why we don't genuflect the way you do for veterans. 1544 01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:36,160 Speaker 8: I just I don't get it. 1545 01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:40,320 Speaker 1: I don't either, Christopher. And as you were talking about 1546 01:27:40,400 --> 01:27:43,840 Speaker 1: the murder of the National Guard troop or the one 1547 01:27:43,960 --> 01:27:47,320 Speaker 1: murder and one almost murder, that will wait and see 1548 01:27:47,360 --> 01:27:50,240 Speaker 1: and continue to pray for that person's health. But I 1549 01:27:50,400 --> 01:27:52,840 Speaker 1: was thinking about, you know that you would go after 1550 01:27:53,080 --> 01:27:57,599 Speaker 1: those folks for doing their job. They are following the law, 1551 01:27:57,800 --> 01:28:00,400 Speaker 1: They are taking the orders they were ordered to do. 1552 01:28:00,600 --> 01:28:03,439 Speaker 1: They seem to, you know, be following the law generally speaking. 1553 01:28:03,479 --> 01:28:04,960 Speaker 1: It reminded me a little bit about how a lot 1554 01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:07,639 Speaker 1: of people treated the American veterans coming back from Vietnam. 1555 01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:10,479 Speaker 1: I don't recall any of them being shot down for 1556 01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:14,480 Speaker 1: their service to our country. But spit on, yell at, degraded, 1557 01:28:15,880 --> 01:28:18,519 Speaker 1: and did any one of those service members who were 1558 01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:21,040 Speaker 1: merely following orders and doing their job and a very 1559 01:28:21,120 --> 01:28:25,360 Speaker 1: controversial military operation. I'll grant you, were they worthy of 1560 01:28:25,439 --> 01:28:28,360 Speaker 1: that kind of treatment from their own fellow citizens, I 1561 01:28:28,360 --> 01:28:31,519 Speaker 1: would say absolutely not. You want to get mad at somebody, 1562 01:28:31,560 --> 01:28:34,320 Speaker 1: you want to metaphorically spit on someone. I'm not advocating 1563 01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:36,200 Speaker 1: for it. But and then wouldn't it be the politicians 1564 01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:38,920 Speaker 1: who ordered us into Vietnam rather than the service members 1565 01:28:38,960 --> 01:28:42,320 Speaker 1: who followed their orders and did their job. Hold on, Christopher, 1566 01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:43,680 Speaker 1: I know we got more to talk about coming up 1567 01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:46,000 Speaker 1: at seven thirty six, Right now, fifty five krs. The 1568 01:28:46,120 --> 01:28:52,360 Speaker 1: Talks seven at fifty five krs DE Talk Station Brian 1569 01:28:52,439 --> 01:28:54,880 Speaker 1: Thomas with Christopher Smith Aman working through the Smith Event. 1570 01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:57,240 Speaker 1: Various topics with Christopher this morning. Always enjoy having you 1571 01:28:57,320 --> 01:28:59,640 Speaker 1: on the program. Christopher. It's real pleasure and one of 1572 01:28:59,680 --> 01:29:02,280 Speaker 1: the things I'm thankful for as I reflect back on 1573 01:29:02,400 --> 01:29:04,439 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving and all the other things that I can be 1574 01:29:04,520 --> 01:29:06,680 Speaker 1: thankful for in my life. So love you have on 1575 01:29:06,800 --> 01:29:09,400 Speaker 1: your show, brother, Thank you so much. 1576 01:29:09,479 --> 01:29:09,679 Speaker 2: Brother. 1577 01:29:09,840 --> 01:29:15,479 Speaker 8: Look this whole transgender conversation continues to permeate across our country, 1578 01:29:16,120 --> 01:29:18,759 Speaker 8: and it's a meaningful conversation as we go into twenty 1579 01:29:18,840 --> 01:29:22,080 Speaker 8: twenty six. And I want to highlight two quick things. 1580 01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:25,920 Speaker 8: One is a woman out of California, Tish Hyman, a 1581 01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:31,519 Speaker 8: black lesbian who was in a Planet Fitness location. There 1582 01:29:31,680 --> 01:29:35,479 Speaker 8: was a person there who identified themselves as transgender in 1583 01:29:35,520 --> 01:29:40,599 Speaker 8: her locker room. That's made national news. She asked him 1584 01:29:40,680 --> 01:29:44,040 Speaker 8: to leave the locker room she thought uncomfortable. She announced 1585 01:29:44,080 --> 01:29:46,519 Speaker 8: this in the middle of the gymnasium. Planet Fitness not 1586 01:29:46,640 --> 01:29:48,479 Speaker 8: only threw her out, but took her membership away, and 1587 01:29:48,560 --> 01:29:51,320 Speaker 8: she's been out being very outspoken. This is a black 1588 01:29:51,439 --> 01:29:54,880 Speaker 8: lesbian who is saying, listen, I am uncomfortable with a 1589 01:29:55,040 --> 01:29:59,320 Speaker 8: man in a locker room with women. It is unsafe. 1590 01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:04,080 Speaker 8: But thisicular man, this particular man had a history of violence, 1591 01:30:04,160 --> 01:30:08,120 Speaker 8: domestic violence against his wife. And so it's just amazing 1592 01:30:08,200 --> 01:30:14,040 Speaker 8: that we're still having this public conversation about men in 1593 01:30:14,240 --> 01:30:19,360 Speaker 8: locker rooms with women. Women deserve safe places to undress, 1594 01:30:20,479 --> 01:30:23,200 Speaker 8: to do whatever they need to do in their safe places, 1595 01:30:23,280 --> 01:30:27,320 Speaker 8: in their locker rooms, and men should not be integrated 1596 01:30:27,680 --> 01:30:31,240 Speaker 8: in that environment. And I just don't understand why you 1597 01:30:31,400 --> 01:30:35,679 Speaker 8: and I can't support the LGBTQ plus community and also 1598 01:30:35,880 --> 01:30:40,080 Speaker 8: say that guys shouldn't be in locker rooms with women. 1599 01:30:40,200 --> 01:30:42,400 Speaker 8: But it's a part of the Tennessee election. It's a 1600 01:30:42,439 --> 01:30:43,760 Speaker 8: part it's going to be a big part of the 1601 01:30:43,840 --> 01:30:48,080 Speaker 8: twenty six election in the midterms. And I just think 1602 01:30:48,200 --> 01:30:52,680 Speaker 8: common sense is absolutely leaving us as we try to 1603 01:30:52,760 --> 01:30:57,560 Speaker 8: talk about these I say, wedge issues. But this is 1604 01:30:57,640 --> 01:31:00,320 Speaker 8: amazing to me. And then this is weekend are last 1605 01:31:00,360 --> 01:31:06,200 Speaker 8: week we have a British woman named Andrea Thompson where 1606 01:31:06,280 --> 01:31:10,559 Speaker 8: she's the strongest woman in the world. You didn't realize 1607 01:31:10,680 --> 01:31:13,040 Speaker 8: or did realize, you know, they gave her the trophy. 1608 01:31:14,240 --> 01:31:19,719 Speaker 1: But she it's a guy. It's a biological male Christopher. 1609 01:31:20,800 --> 01:31:24,559 Speaker 8: I thought that Jamie Booker was which was a trans person. 1610 01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:29,479 Speaker 8: That person was disqualified and Andrea Thompson was given the 1611 01:31:29,840 --> 01:31:34,800 Speaker 8: first place award over the weekend. They stripped her, or 1612 01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:38,680 Speaker 8: they stripped the transgender person of the of the This 1613 01:31:39,040 --> 01:31:41,880 Speaker 8: this competition, I want everybody to understand, like this is 1614 01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:45,559 Speaker 8: like a man competing against women lifting weights or whatever 1615 01:31:45,640 --> 01:31:49,320 Speaker 8: they were doing women, a man competing against women and 1616 01:31:49,680 --> 01:31:51,800 Speaker 8: there they are on the podium. If you saw that 1617 01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:55,639 Speaker 8: the woman just the the the British woman just walked away. 1618 01:31:56,120 --> 01:31:59,360 Speaker 8: She was so disgusted, Like here, I I've spent my 1619 01:31:59,439 --> 01:32:02,479 Speaker 8: whole life training for this moment and now it's being 1620 01:32:02,600 --> 01:32:05,439 Speaker 8: stripped from me because I'm competing against a man. 1621 01:32:05,600 --> 01:32:05,880 Speaker 2: A man. 1622 01:32:06,040 --> 01:32:10,200 Speaker 8: This is another example right where we have to use 1623 01:32:10,280 --> 01:32:14,960 Speaker 8: our common sense. This is not like, you know, a sport. 1624 01:32:15,080 --> 01:32:17,479 Speaker 8: Let's say that you're riding a motorcycle. I'm just trying 1625 01:32:17,520 --> 01:32:20,479 Speaker 8: to think about a sport where there might be a 1626 01:32:20,600 --> 01:32:23,960 Speaker 8: quality between men and women, you know, in a sport. 1627 01:32:24,640 --> 01:32:29,400 Speaker 8: This is literally testosterum. This makes no sense. They got 1628 01:32:29,479 --> 01:32:32,439 Speaker 8: it right, and the woman should have and did win 1629 01:32:32,800 --> 01:32:35,679 Speaker 8: and should be the strongest woman she won the competition. 1630 01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:38,280 Speaker 1: I agree with you completely. The biological male should not 1631 01:32:38,360 --> 01:32:40,200 Speaker 1: have been able to compete in that tournament because it 1632 01:32:40,320 --> 01:32:45,360 Speaker 1: is a strength based exercise. But what I understand, and 1633 01:32:45,520 --> 01:32:48,320 Speaker 1: it throws a little bit of monkey wrench into your analysis, 1634 01:32:48,360 --> 01:32:50,880 Speaker 1: it wasn't that they stripped that guy acting as their 1635 01:32:50,920 --> 01:32:52,599 Speaker 1: woman or purporting to be a woman from the title 1636 01:32:52,640 --> 01:32:55,640 Speaker 1: because they turned out it turns out that they discovered 1637 01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:58,679 Speaker 1: that she was a guy competing against women, but because 1638 01:32:58,760 --> 01:33:00,880 Speaker 1: she had been involved or he had been involved in 1639 01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:04,240 Speaker 1: the production of pornography that they found out all these 1640 01:33:04,360 --> 01:33:07,280 Speaker 1: you know, porno movies or whatever that she he was 1641 01:33:07,360 --> 01:33:09,599 Speaker 1: connected with after the fact, and so that was one 1642 01:33:09,640 --> 01:33:11,519 Speaker 1: of the basis for the stripping of the title. I'm 1643 01:33:11,520 --> 01:33:13,360 Speaker 1: a little fuzzy in the details on that, although I 1644 01:33:13,400 --> 01:33:16,760 Speaker 1: did read an article to that effect. So was it 1645 01:33:16,880 --> 01:33:20,240 Speaker 1: really because of her being a biological male that they 1646 01:33:20,280 --> 01:33:22,559 Speaker 1: did it, or was it because of some other untoward activity. 1647 01:33:22,640 --> 01:33:24,960 Speaker 1: I don't know what the rules are, but the point being, 1648 01:33:25,000 --> 01:33:27,439 Speaker 1: and I agree with you completely mentioned be competing against 1649 01:33:27,479 --> 01:33:31,840 Speaker 1: women biological men that is, and you know, going back 1650 01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:32,160 Speaker 1: to your. 1651 01:33:32,080 --> 01:33:35,640 Speaker 8: Original shaking my head, I'm shaking my head. My grandparents 1652 01:33:35,680 --> 01:33:38,160 Speaker 8: are shaking their heads. I mean, I just don't even 1653 01:33:38,280 --> 01:33:41,760 Speaker 8: understand the conversation. First of all, you could be right 1654 01:33:41,800 --> 01:33:44,080 Speaker 8: about all of that, which just even makes it worse 1655 01:33:44,640 --> 01:33:47,600 Speaker 8: that they wouldn't. They wouldn't rule and say, listen, this 1656 01:33:47,760 --> 01:33:51,280 Speaker 8: is a dude who's in here competing against women on 1657 01:33:51,479 --> 01:33:55,640 Speaker 8: stript training, and whether she or he acknowledged it or not, 1658 01:33:56,280 --> 01:33:58,240 Speaker 8: it's absolutely the wrong director. 1659 01:33:58,400 --> 01:33:58,600 Speaker 6: It is. 1660 01:33:58,920 --> 01:34:02,800 Speaker 8: Well, anyway, you're making it even worse that, Hey, they didn't, 1661 01:34:02,880 --> 01:34:05,320 Speaker 8: they didn't make the decision based on ay Man we 1662 01:34:05,439 --> 01:34:07,920 Speaker 8: found out this was a dude kipedia against women. 1663 01:34:08,320 --> 01:34:10,680 Speaker 1: I agree and don't and don't quote me gospel on 1664 01:34:10,760 --> 01:34:12,519 Speaker 1: Matt if you want to look for that particular article, 1665 01:34:12,560 --> 01:34:14,840 Speaker 1: I do believe that was on the New York Post, 1666 01:34:15,760 --> 01:34:18,519 Speaker 1: so you can check for yourselves on the backstory on that. 1667 01:34:18,920 --> 01:34:21,320 Speaker 1: But going back to your first illustration the lesbian woman, 1668 01:34:21,360 --> 01:34:23,080 Speaker 1: because I did see quite a few articles about that. 1669 01:34:23,280 --> 01:34:26,680 Speaker 1: She was disturbed because this guy is junk in the 1670 01:34:26,760 --> 01:34:29,920 Speaker 1: living and that made her very uncomfortable. You mentioned that 1671 01:34:30,680 --> 01:34:33,720 Speaker 1: the guy that made her uncomfortable the the the the 1672 01:34:33,880 --> 01:34:37,560 Speaker 1: transgender woman, which means a guy pretending to be or 1673 01:34:37,680 --> 01:34:41,280 Speaker 1: thinking that he is a woman. You mentioned that he 1674 01:34:41,400 --> 01:34:45,680 Speaker 1: had a wife, that, yeah, that's a layer that I 1675 01:34:45,840 --> 01:34:47,839 Speaker 1: wasn't aware of. But does that make him a lesbian? 1676 01:34:49,600 --> 01:34:52,920 Speaker 8: I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. And I think this, 1677 01:34:53,200 --> 01:34:55,320 Speaker 8: I think this is something in the past where it 1678 01:34:55,479 --> 01:34:57,360 Speaker 8: was not only did he have a wife, but he 1679 01:34:57,400 --> 01:35:00,760 Speaker 8: also was he also was involved in domestic by and 1680 01:35:00,840 --> 01:35:04,559 Speaker 8: what and what Tish Hyman was saying, which I thought 1681 01:35:04,680 --> 01:35:09,080 Speaker 8: was riveting for African Americans. She started also saying, I 1682 01:35:09,240 --> 01:35:14,120 Speaker 8: am frustrated with the trans community connecting their plight to 1683 01:35:14,280 --> 01:35:18,240 Speaker 8: civil rights there is no connection between those two things, 1684 01:35:18,320 --> 01:35:22,400 Speaker 8: meaning African Americans who came through this country, who were 1685 01:35:22,560 --> 01:35:27,160 Speaker 8: hung who were enslaved, who worked on plantations for free, 1686 01:35:28,360 --> 01:35:32,360 Speaker 8: brutally beat, raped, pillage, whatever the word you want to use. 1687 01:35:32,760 --> 01:35:36,840 Speaker 8: There is no connection between this movement of trans and 1688 01:35:37,040 --> 01:35:40,240 Speaker 8: the civil rights movement. This is what this black lesbian 1689 01:35:40,320 --> 01:35:44,360 Speaker 8: out of California, Tish Hyman was also saying. She's expressing 1690 01:35:44,439 --> 01:35:48,400 Speaker 8: this frustration that they're trying to serve on the backs 1691 01:35:48,439 --> 01:35:51,320 Speaker 8: of African Americans. And I tell African Americans who are 1692 01:35:51,360 --> 01:35:54,479 Speaker 8: listening who vote straight down the Democratic ticket, they better 1693 01:35:54,560 --> 01:35:58,280 Speaker 8: start learning about what they're voting for and understanding it 1694 01:35:58,439 --> 01:36:01,839 Speaker 8: and not just being a sheep given a sample ballot 1695 01:36:02,120 --> 01:36:04,639 Speaker 8: as they go in and vote. This is the issue. 1696 01:36:04,880 --> 01:36:07,720 Speaker 8: Sometimes I don't think we have informed voters out there 1697 01:36:07,760 --> 01:36:10,840 Speaker 8: that are saying, listen, what is the platform of this party? 1698 01:36:11,160 --> 01:36:14,320 Speaker 8: And I think this Tish Hyman is waking up saying 1699 01:36:14,439 --> 01:36:18,320 Speaker 8: what in the heck is going on in the Democratic Party? 1700 01:36:18,600 --> 01:36:20,680 Speaker 8: That here I am in a locker room, and as 1701 01:36:20,760 --> 01:36:23,280 Speaker 8: you just said, there's a dude walking around with his 1702 01:36:23,520 --> 01:36:27,200 Speaker 8: junk out. I'm uncomfortable with it. And Planet Fitness is 1703 01:36:27,240 --> 01:36:30,240 Speaker 8: saying They're going to strip me of my membership. They're 1704 01:36:30,280 --> 01:36:33,280 Speaker 8: gonna throw me out because I'm saying I'm uncomfortable with 1705 01:36:33,360 --> 01:36:35,680 Speaker 8: the dude in the locker room. That's how far we've 1706 01:36:35,800 --> 01:36:39,680 Speaker 8: gone in this country. The Democratic Party has left so 1707 01:36:39,880 --> 01:36:43,320 Speaker 8: many Democrats behind. They better wake up and say this 1708 01:36:43,720 --> 01:36:45,960 Speaker 8: left part of our party who's trying to take over 1709 01:36:46,080 --> 01:36:49,200 Speaker 8: and drive it into twenty twenty six. They better take 1710 01:36:49,320 --> 01:36:52,439 Speaker 8: back their party and come back to common sense. Brian Thomas, 1711 01:36:52,760 --> 01:36:54,880 Speaker 8: no question about it. So I was glad to see 1712 01:36:55,160 --> 01:37:00,800 Speaker 8: this African American lesbian woman, member of the elder GBTQ 1713 01:37:01,040 --> 01:37:05,600 Speaker 8: plus community stand up to the trans movement saying you 1714 01:37:05,680 --> 01:37:08,560 Speaker 8: could have your own trans bathroom. I'm not against you. 1715 01:37:08,880 --> 01:37:11,920 Speaker 8: I support you. I just don't want you in my 1716 01:37:12,120 --> 01:37:15,639 Speaker 8: safe place in a locker room with your junk out. 1717 01:37:15,720 --> 01:37:18,360 Speaker 8: I'm uncomfortable with that. Yes, and I'm with this, and 1718 01:37:18,439 --> 01:37:20,040 Speaker 8: I'm with Tish Hymen on that. 1719 01:37:20,479 --> 01:37:23,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and the whole component of lumping all of 1720 01:37:23,920 --> 01:37:28,680 Speaker 1: those particular sub sets together LDBTQ plus goes on and 1721 01:37:28,760 --> 01:37:31,880 Speaker 1: on and on. You know, I think gays and lesbians 1722 01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:34,680 Speaker 1: been have gotten a disserviced under them, because you know, 1723 01:37:34,760 --> 01:37:36,800 Speaker 1: if you are gay or lesbian. You were demonstrably, so 1724 01:37:36,920 --> 01:37:38,640 Speaker 1: that is what your sexual preference is, the same thing 1725 01:37:38,720 --> 01:37:41,040 Speaker 1: with the biommunity. You enjoy having sex with both men 1726 01:37:41,080 --> 01:37:44,720 Speaker 1: and women. You're a bisexual, that that that's irrefutable. But 1727 01:37:45,560 --> 01:37:49,240 Speaker 1: to say that I am a woman when I'm biologically 1728 01:37:49,360 --> 01:37:51,400 Speaker 1: a mail, I can look down and see what God 1729 01:37:51,520 --> 01:37:53,640 Speaker 1: gave me by way of equipment. I don't have a 1730 01:37:53,760 --> 01:37:58,080 Speaker 1: problem with you believing that. I think maybe psychological counselings 1731 01:37:58,080 --> 01:37:59,920 Speaker 1: in order. Because you can look down and see what 1732 01:38:00,160 --> 01:38:03,480 Speaker 1: you were made with. You can do genetic testing, chromosomal 1733 01:38:03,520 --> 01:38:05,439 Speaker 1: testing to the extent that doesn't prove it to you. 1734 01:38:05,800 --> 01:38:07,680 Speaker 1: They'll determine whether you got an X and X or 1735 01:38:07,840 --> 01:38:10,880 Speaker 1: X and Y. That to me is scientific proof. But 1736 01:38:11,400 --> 01:38:13,800 Speaker 1: as you know, I'm a live and let live guy. 1737 01:38:14,000 --> 01:38:16,479 Speaker 1: If you want to believe you are, then that's okay. 1738 01:38:16,680 --> 01:38:20,479 Speaker 1: But you can't force your belief to the detriment of 1739 01:38:20,560 --> 01:38:23,840 Speaker 1: all the folks out here who are traditionalists when it 1740 01:38:23,880 --> 01:38:27,719 Speaker 1: comes to biology, gay, lesbian, bisexual. If you got junk 1741 01:38:27,800 --> 01:38:30,479 Speaker 1: and you're in a woman's locker room, then that's a 1742 01:38:30,560 --> 01:38:33,120 Speaker 1: legitimate problem people face. If you got junk, you're a 1743 01:38:33,200 --> 01:38:36,920 Speaker 1: biological male, you are probably at least statistically going to 1744 01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:40,200 Speaker 1: be stronger than the pharo sex Ooh, what a racist 1745 01:38:40,240 --> 01:38:43,479 Speaker 1: or what a sexuist thing to say. Then women generally, so, No, 1746 01:38:43,840 --> 01:38:46,160 Speaker 1: just because you think you're the opposite sex, she doesn't 1747 01:38:46,240 --> 01:38:49,439 Speaker 1: qualify you to compete against people. I mean, there's a 1748 01:38:49,640 --> 01:38:54,920 Speaker 1: complete difference here, nobody. I mean it's not trans. Yeah, 1749 01:38:54,960 --> 01:38:57,320 Speaker 1: it's not transphobic for me to say that, I'm not 1750 01:38:57,439 --> 01:39:00,320 Speaker 1: afraid of trans people. I don't want them to You'll 1751 01:39:00,360 --> 01:39:03,560 Speaker 1: be eliminated from society. I'm just saying, listen, they have 1752 01:39:03,680 --> 01:39:05,560 Speaker 1: to give in to some of the societal norms that 1753 01:39:05,600 --> 01:39:07,440 Speaker 1: we're all used to, like biology. 1754 01:39:09,120 --> 01:39:12,760 Speaker 8: I don't want trans people discriminated against. No, right, this 1755 01:39:12,960 --> 01:39:15,519 Speaker 8: is not about that. You know, as I have been 1756 01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:18,240 Speaker 8: very open. I have a son who's gay. I have 1757 01:39:18,360 --> 01:39:21,080 Speaker 8: a brother who's gay. Right, I have many people in 1758 01:39:21,120 --> 01:39:21,880 Speaker 8: my families who are gay. 1759 01:39:21,920 --> 01:39:23,600 Speaker 2: This is not the discussion. 1760 01:39:24,160 --> 01:39:26,720 Speaker 8: This is what's happening. And there's so many people that 1761 01:39:26,800 --> 01:39:31,320 Speaker 8: are in the LGBTQ plus community who agree with me, right, 1762 01:39:31,439 --> 01:39:35,360 Speaker 8: who are saying, listen, trans people should not be in 1763 01:39:35,680 --> 01:39:40,799 Speaker 8: bathrooms with women. But I'm guaranteeing everybody you're listening, audience, 1764 01:39:40,920 --> 01:39:43,320 Speaker 8: this is going to be a centerpiece of the discussion 1765 01:39:43,720 --> 01:39:47,599 Speaker 8: in twenty twenty six as Democrats are running for reelection 1766 01:39:47,800 --> 01:39:50,320 Speaker 8: all across the country, and all I'm saying is, we've 1767 01:39:50,360 --> 01:39:53,280 Speaker 8: got to approach this with common sense. It makes no sense. 1768 01:39:53,360 --> 01:39:56,519 Speaker 8: I have a beautiful daughter. She's a swimmer at a 1769 01:39:56,640 --> 01:40:00,280 Speaker 8: local high school called Seatan. I don't want to dudes 1770 01:40:00,800 --> 01:40:04,400 Speaker 8: competing against her, and she's trying to make time as 1771 01:40:04,560 --> 01:40:07,880 Speaker 8: colleges are looking at her thinking, hey, we might pick 1772 01:40:07,960 --> 01:40:09,960 Speaker 8: you up. As a matter of fact, we had one college, 1773 01:40:10,080 --> 01:40:13,679 Speaker 8: very small D three college reach out at about Camille. 1774 01:40:14,080 --> 01:40:16,200 Speaker 8: So the reality of it is all of all of 1775 01:40:16,360 --> 01:40:19,599 Speaker 8: her high school seniors who are swimming on that seat 1776 01:40:19,600 --> 01:40:23,519 Speaker 8: and team could make it somewhere in the in the 1777 01:40:23,640 --> 01:40:27,480 Speaker 8: United States of America at a college. It's the millisecond. 1778 01:40:27,520 --> 01:40:30,280 Speaker 8: It's not like a second, it's like a millise. Get different. 1779 01:40:30,640 --> 01:40:34,920 Speaker 8: You cannot have men competing against girls, or boys competing 1780 01:40:35,000 --> 01:40:38,639 Speaker 8: against girls in a sport like swim, as one example, 1781 01:40:38,720 --> 01:40:43,480 Speaker 8: and it would be absolutely unacceptable. Then I just did frustrated. 1782 01:40:43,640 --> 01:40:46,479 Speaker 1: I understand your frustration. You didn't call looking for an argument. 1783 01:40:46,560 --> 01:40:48,680 Speaker 1: I agree with you. Good job, Christopher. Have you on 1784 01:40:48,800 --> 01:40:55,000 Speaker 1: next Monday.

It's good to have 1794 01:41:18,360 --> 01:41:19,120 Speaker 1: you back on the show. 1795 01:41:20,560 --> 01:41:22,160 Speaker 3: Oh it's crazy to be back on the show. And 1796 01:41:22,640 --> 01:41:24,200 Speaker 3: I do want to talk about the event. But the 1797 01:41:24,320 --> 01:41:26,280 Speaker 3: most important thing I want to talk about is the 1798 01:41:26,360 --> 01:41:28,760 Speaker 3: last time we were together, we were mentioning about how 1799 01:41:28,800 --> 01:41:32,599 Speaker 3: we were training adults with disabilities. I'm happy to say 1800 01:41:32,680 --> 01:41:35,880 Speaker 3: that we have three individuals who have done extremely well, 1801 01:41:36,280 --> 01:41:39,439 Speaker 3: and our goal in this coming January twenty twenty six 1802 01:41:39,880 --> 01:41:43,280 Speaker 3: is placing them on a real job in the printing industry. 1803 01:41:43,600 --> 01:41:46,479 Speaker 3: And this is just the beginning of many, many, many 1804 01:41:46,760 --> 01:41:50,559 Speaker 3: adults of disability actually finding real work and being able 1805 01:41:50,560 --> 01:41:52,840 Speaker 3: to make a living for their family. So that's the 1806 01:41:52,880 --> 01:41:54,320 Speaker 3: first thing I want to tell you back. That's just 1807 01:41:54,400 --> 01:41:56,160 Speaker 3: really exciting. We're having a great time with that, and 1808 01:41:56,240 --> 01:41:58,200 Speaker 3: so that's great. But the second thing I'd like to 1809 01:41:58,240 --> 01:42:01,600 Speaker 3: bring to your attention is just number fourth, fifth, and 1810 01:42:01,760 --> 01:42:05,439 Speaker 3: sixth at the museum, totally free from ten am to 1811 01:42:05,520 --> 01:42:09,400 Speaker 3: three pm. We're going to celebrate Charles Dickens, the Christmas 1812 01:42:09,479 --> 01:42:13,280 Speaker 3: Carol and make people were that this book was really incredible. 1813 01:42:13,720 --> 01:42:17,160 Speaker 3: Up to that time, nobody really celebraated Christmas. But when 1814 01:42:17,200 --> 01:42:19,200 Speaker 3: this book comes out, all of a sudden, the whole 1815 01:42:19,280 --> 01:42:24,799 Speaker 3: Christmas tradition starts generosity and the giving of gifts multiplied 1816 01:42:24,840 --> 01:42:27,080 Speaker 3: by a factor of ten after this books come out. 1817 01:42:27,360 --> 01:42:29,880 Speaker 3: So this book is really important for our society and 1818 01:42:29,960 --> 01:42:32,439 Speaker 3: realizing where we have come today and how we celebrate 1819 01:42:32,640 --> 01:42:33,600 Speaker 3: Christmas today. 1820 01:42:33,560 --> 01:42:34,120 Speaker 2: And so forth. 1821 01:42:34,320 --> 01:42:37,760 Speaker 1: You know, it's really interesting the concept that you just 1822 01:42:37,840 --> 01:42:41,120 Speaker 1: brought up. Now, I think everyone's familiar with the Christmas Carol, 1823 01:42:41,200 --> 01:42:43,800 Speaker 1: Charles Dickens book, you know, and if you aren't a 1824 01:42:43,920 --> 01:42:46,280 Speaker 1: good person in life, and you don't, you know, take 1825 01:42:46,320 --> 01:42:49,720 Speaker 1: advantage of your resources and help those in need, you're 1826 01:42:49,760 --> 01:42:53,000 Speaker 1: going to face eternal damnation. I was like, holy cow, 1827 01:42:53,360 --> 01:42:55,120 Speaker 1: I didn't realize that was in store. 1828 01:42:55,200 --> 01:42:55,400 Speaker 2: For me. 1829 01:42:55,880 --> 01:42:59,880 Speaker 1: So Dickens applied sort of Christian principles about helping fell 1830 01:43:00,240 --> 01:43:03,880 Speaker 1: Man and turn it into a it's not a consequence 1831 01:43:03,920 --> 01:43:07,240 Speaker 1: free environment. You got some serious consequences headed your way. 1832 01:43:08,000 --> 01:43:11,519 Speaker 1: Don't act that way. So did it transform Christmas in 1833 01:43:11,600 --> 01:43:13,640 Speaker 1: a positive way in the sense that, oh, that's right, 1834 01:43:13,760 --> 01:43:16,360 Speaker 1: I'm supposed to give to those in need, and you know, 1835 01:43:16,600 --> 01:43:19,400 Speaker 1: tithe or do my fair share. Don't rely on the 1836 01:43:19,479 --> 01:43:23,000 Speaker 1: state and its workhouses. No, you have to personally engage 1837 01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:25,479 Speaker 1: in that conduct. But then coupling it with the idea 1838 01:43:25,520 --> 01:43:27,400 Speaker 1: that you're going to be saddled with the chains and 1839 01:43:27,479 --> 01:43:31,240 Speaker 1: the peril forever, really did an effective job of marketing 1840 01:43:31,360 --> 01:43:32,040 Speaker 1: for charity. 1841 01:43:33,479 --> 01:43:35,520 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, absolutely. 1842 01:43:36,040 --> 01:43:37,600 Speaker 3: And when you come to the museum, you're going to 1843 01:43:37,640 --> 01:43:41,160 Speaker 3: actually print chapter five, what she called Stage five of 1844 01:43:41,280 --> 01:43:43,320 Speaker 3: the Christmas Card, which is the best chapter. I think 1845 01:43:43,360 --> 01:43:45,600 Speaker 3: it's the ending. Yeah, so you actually print as in 1846 01:43:45,640 --> 01:43:47,560 Speaker 3: the zoom and I'll take that home with you. You're 1847 01:43:47,600 --> 01:43:50,439 Speaker 3: going to print Marley's speech that he gives about how 1848 01:43:50,520 --> 01:43:52,439 Speaker 3: he should have been more involved with the community and 1849 01:43:52,520 --> 01:43:56,760 Speaker 3: so forth. And then you also print some Christmas wrapping paper. 1850 01:43:56,840 --> 01:43:58,280 Speaker 3: We got to press that up where you'll print this 1851 01:43:58,400 --> 01:44:01,479 Speaker 3: big piece of Christmas wrapping paper. So it's a fun event. 1852 01:44:01,479 --> 01:44:03,640 Speaker 3: They'll be cookie beat and so forth, and just make 1853 01:44:03,680 --> 01:44:07,000 Speaker 3: pe aware again of how important printing is to this city. 1854 01:44:07,479 --> 01:44:10,280 Speaker 1: Printing And this is what I learned from you, my friend, 1855 01:44:10,360 --> 01:44:13,040 Speaker 1: because I was not aware that Cincinnati is like the 1856 01:44:13,120 --> 01:44:16,120 Speaker 1: etic center for the printing industry, an industry that is 1857 01:44:16,200 --> 01:44:20,920 Speaker 1: still flourishing. And whether or not you're in those that 1858 01:44:21,040 --> 01:44:24,559 Speaker 1: he helped out from the disabled category, there are jobs 1859 01:44:24,600 --> 01:44:28,120 Speaker 1: in the printing industry. And I wasn't even aware of 1860 01:44:28,240 --> 01:44:32,880 Speaker 1: the need for printing in the electronic or the electronics 1861 01:44:32,960 --> 01:44:37,120 Speaker 1: business with these circuit board printing that you do. Yes, 1862 01:44:37,439 --> 01:44:39,479 Speaker 1: that was an eye opener. 1863 01:44:41,040 --> 01:44:44,680 Speaker 3: We're actually working on getting a printing press out of 1864 01:44:45,120 --> 01:44:47,639 Speaker 3: Denmark where you'll be able to come to the museum 1865 01:44:47,760 --> 01:44:51,160 Speaker 3: and we'll be actually printing solar panels right there in 1866 01:44:51,240 --> 01:44:53,040 Speaker 3: front of you, so you can take them home and 1867 01:44:53,760 --> 01:44:56,879 Speaker 3: hook them up to electric wires and actually start collecting 1868 01:44:56,920 --> 01:44:58,559 Speaker 3: solar energy for free. 1869 01:44:59,160 --> 01:45:01,920 Speaker 1: That's wild. Obviously in the there's a special kind of 1870 01:45:01,960 --> 01:45:03,800 Speaker 1: paper those have to be printed on. I presume you're 1871 01:45:03,800 --> 01:45:05,040 Speaker 1: not going to throw a piece of construction. 1872 01:45:05,200 --> 01:45:08,320 Speaker 3: No, just we're gonna be printing on a thin plastic, 1873 01:45:08,400 --> 01:45:11,080 Speaker 3: but can literally printed on anything paper, plastic, would metal, 1874 01:45:11,800 --> 01:45:15,320 Speaker 3: The substrate doesn't really matter. The important thing is the ink. 1875 01:45:15,560 --> 01:45:18,160 Speaker 3: All the magic is in the ink, and the ink 1876 01:45:18,200 --> 01:45:19,840 Speaker 3: is would have all the magic. And so that's why 1877 01:45:19,880 --> 01:45:23,080 Speaker 3: we can actually print this on a traditional printing press. 1878 01:45:23,160 --> 01:45:26,960 Speaker 3: These are not super duper modern presses. These are traditional presses. 1879 01:45:27,040 --> 01:45:30,840 Speaker 3: So anybody in Cincinnati who has the printing press can 1880 01:45:30,920 --> 01:45:32,160 Speaker 3: print electronic devices. 1881 01:45:32,240 --> 01:45:35,920 Speaker 1: Now that is amazing. With the magic ink, that's amazing. 1882 01:45:36,040 --> 01:45:37,880 Speaker 1: So the key is the ink. How about learn something 1883 01:45:37,920 --> 01:45:39,840 Speaker 1: else today in the morning show? Since ay type in 1884 01:45:39,880 --> 01:45:42,960 Speaker 1: print museum. You're open throughout the year though, so visitors 1885 01:45:43,040 --> 01:45:45,479 Speaker 1: can make arrangements to go. And I know you love 1886 01:45:45,560 --> 01:45:48,599 Speaker 1: to have like tour groups with you know, maybe senior 1887 01:45:48,680 --> 01:45:51,280 Speaker 1: groups or school children. Groups of school children come in 1888 01:45:51,439 --> 01:45:53,799 Speaker 1: and see the museum. That that can easily be arranged. 1889 01:45:53,800 --> 01:45:57,080 Speaker 3: Correct, correct, And you do want to go on our 1890 01:45:57,120 --> 01:45:59,080 Speaker 3: website and make an appointment because we have to get 1891 01:45:59,160 --> 01:46:03,040 Speaker 3: things set up. But we now are official merit badge 1892 01:46:03,080 --> 01:46:04,640 Speaker 3: for the Boy Scouts. You can learn your kittch, your 1893 01:46:04,680 --> 01:46:08,240 Speaker 3: graphic arts, merriage battercoming a museum in one day. We 1894 01:46:08,360 --> 01:46:11,960 Speaker 3: do have homeschoolers, lots of homeschoolers come and then we 1895 01:46:12,080 --> 01:46:14,960 Speaker 3: try to where they are in their training, try to 1896 01:46:15,000 --> 01:46:17,479 Speaker 3: bring the lesson that we're going to be teaching that 1897 01:46:17,640 --> 01:46:20,080 Speaker 3: day towards what they're doing. So if they're into writing books, 1898 01:46:20,320 --> 01:46:24,240 Speaker 3: you know, we'll actually print a book. If they're into packaging, 1899 01:46:24,320 --> 01:46:26,479 Speaker 3: we'll actually have them create a package and actually make 1900 01:46:26,520 --> 01:46:29,280 Speaker 3: the package themselves right there, So we tailor make each 1901 01:46:29,400 --> 01:46:30,960 Speaker 3: tour for the group that's coming. 1902 01:46:31,760 --> 01:46:35,479 Speaker 1: Fantastic, And I see that you have an internship program 1903 01:46:35,600 --> 01:46:38,439 Speaker 1: there at at the type of pri museum. Tell my 1904 01:46:38,560 --> 01:46:41,960 Speaker 1: listeners about that, because I keep going back to the 1905 01:46:42,080 --> 01:46:44,280 Speaker 1: whole idea that there are jobs out there that don't 1906 01:46:44,320 --> 01:46:47,120 Speaker 1: involve a four year college degree and they're good paying 1907 01:46:47,240 --> 01:46:49,640 Speaker 1: jobs and their career opportunities, and right there you have 1908 01:46:49,680 --> 01:46:52,240 Speaker 1: an internship program to help you achieve your career goals. 1909 01:46:53,760 --> 01:46:54,120 Speaker 2: Correct. 1910 01:46:54,360 --> 01:46:57,880 Speaker 3: So the intern program that we have is for working 1911 01:46:57,920 --> 01:47:01,040 Speaker 3: at the museum. However, next year I'm going to be 1912 01:47:01,080 --> 01:47:02,759 Speaker 3: working with a few of my printing buddies and saying 1913 01:47:03,400 --> 01:47:04,960 Speaker 3: would you like to stay, And I know they're going 1914 01:47:05,040 --> 01:47:07,680 Speaker 3: to jump at it, have an inter and come work 1915 01:47:07,720 --> 01:47:10,160 Speaker 3: for you, because, like I said, there's a shortage of 1916 01:47:10,320 --> 01:47:12,840 Speaker 3: graphic arts people. So I know they're going to be 1917 01:47:12,920 --> 01:47:15,080 Speaker 3: up for it. So yes, we do this thing now 1918 01:47:15,160 --> 01:47:17,120 Speaker 3: called walkings, where people can walk in after they have 1919 01:47:17,160 --> 01:47:18,400 Speaker 3: the chores, say you know, I want to work in 1920 01:47:18,439 --> 01:47:20,960 Speaker 3: the industry, and then we connect them up with a company, 1921 01:47:21,600 --> 01:47:23,600 Speaker 3: and I try to connect them a company close to 1922 01:47:23,600 --> 01:47:25,360 Speaker 3: where they live, because I don't believe they should be 1923 01:47:25,360 --> 01:47:27,960 Speaker 3: traveling forever and then get in place. And so this 1924 01:47:28,160 --> 01:47:30,760 Speaker 3: year four individuals who walk in the door are now 1925 01:47:30,800 --> 01:47:31,880 Speaker 3: working in the printing industry. 1926 01:47:32,120 --> 01:47:36,879 Speaker 1: That's all outstanding. Any possibility of working with vocational schools, 1927 01:47:36,920 --> 01:47:39,040 Speaker 1: I know that seems to be a big push going 1928 01:47:39,080 --> 01:47:41,720 Speaker 1: to vocate as opposed to traditional high schools. You can 1929 01:47:41,720 --> 01:47:43,639 Speaker 1: go to one of the Diamond Oaks or the Scarlet 1930 01:47:43,760 --> 01:47:45,639 Speaker 1: Oaks types of schools they had when I was a kid, 1931 01:47:45,680 --> 01:47:47,559 Speaker 1: and a lot of people chose that as a career path. 1932 01:47:47,960 --> 01:47:50,439 Speaker 1: And we're working a long time before I was, because 1933 01:47:50,439 --> 01:47:52,080 Speaker 1: I went to a four year college. But can you 1934 01:47:52,200 --> 01:47:56,519 Speaker 1: partner up with maybe that as like a class course 1935 01:47:56,640 --> 01:48:01,759 Speaker 1: that high school kids could take done already done. 1936 01:48:01,840 --> 01:48:05,280 Speaker 3: Diamondoaks and both Diamondoaks and Scarlok's a bus the museum, 1937 01:48:06,240 --> 01:48:08,040 Speaker 3: both of them have offered that when they're ready to 1938 01:48:08,120 --> 01:48:10,880 Speaker 3: graduate in the spring of twenty twenty six, that we'd 1939 01:48:10,880 --> 01:48:14,600 Speaker 3: help get them jobs. So and I'm good friends with 1940 01:48:14,720 --> 01:48:18,519 Speaker 3: the instructors of those two schools, so yeah, that's you know, 1941 01:48:18,600 --> 01:48:20,280 Speaker 3: I taught printing for twenty five years, so I have 1942 01:48:20,400 --> 01:48:23,360 Speaker 3: those connections with the education community but also with the 1943 01:48:23,400 --> 01:48:26,320 Speaker 3: business community, and so it just all works out really well. 1944 01:48:27,240 --> 01:48:30,719 Speaker 1: Fantastic. Now going back to I had two follow up questions. 1945 01:48:31,120 --> 01:48:34,479 Speaker 1: When people show up this weekend for the Christmas themed 1946 01:48:34,520 --> 01:48:38,599 Speaker 1: event in print chapter five of the Christmas Carol, which 1947 01:48:38,720 --> 01:48:40,880 Speaker 1: printer are they going to be using? Guys, you have 1948 01:48:41,960 --> 01:48:45,160 Speaker 1: a Gutenberg original type print press. 1949 01:48:45,320 --> 01:48:49,040 Speaker 2: Correct, yes, yes, so Marley's speech. 1950 01:48:49,600 --> 01:48:52,360 Speaker 3: They will print that on the wooden Gutenberg press co 1951 01:48:52,840 --> 01:48:56,479 Speaker 3: a replica of the of the fourteen fifty press. Then 1952 01:48:56,479 --> 01:48:58,880 Speaker 3: they'll go in the back room and something called a 1953 01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:02,559 Speaker 3: show car press print the wrapping paper and then. 1954 01:49:04,120 --> 01:49:04,559 Speaker 10: All the book. 1955 01:49:04,600 --> 01:49:04,920 Speaker 6: The book. 1956 01:49:04,960 --> 01:49:07,519 Speaker 3: They will actually print that on another type of a 1957 01:49:07,600 --> 01:49:10,680 Speaker 3: smaller version of a show card press. But we will 1958 01:49:10,720 --> 01:49:14,560 Speaker 3: also have the ability to show folks how type was 1959 01:49:14,680 --> 01:49:18,120 Speaker 3: actually created. So they will be given these molds and 1960 01:49:18,479 --> 01:49:20,760 Speaker 3: using our machine called the leadlow and the inner type 1961 01:49:21,120 --> 01:49:25,800 Speaker 3: actually cash from hot metal type that before the mac 1962 01:49:25,920 --> 01:49:28,479 Speaker 3: is invented. Everything was done with what we call hot type, 1963 01:49:28,520 --> 01:49:31,599 Speaker 3: which is molten lead and then cooled down to actually 1964 01:49:31,640 --> 01:49:32,439 Speaker 3: make a type character. 1965 01:49:33,479 --> 01:49:37,519 Speaker 1: Is that the the little individual letters of the alphabet 1966 01:49:37,560 --> 01:49:39,400 Speaker 1: that had to be stacked in a row in order 1967 01:49:39,439 --> 01:49:41,519 Speaker 1: to concrete the create the plate that was used in 1968 01:49:41,600 --> 01:49:44,120 Speaker 1: the printing press. I'm trying to get this a better 1969 01:49:44,240 --> 01:49:46,639 Speaker 1: understanding of what you were talking about with this molten metal. 1970 01:49:46,720 --> 01:49:50,440 Speaker 3: So all the way back to fourteen fifty, Johann Gutenberg 1971 01:49:50,479 --> 01:49:55,080 Speaker 3: invents mobile type. So you had individual individual letters, individuals 1972 01:49:55,120 --> 01:49:57,120 Speaker 3: that have put together and then tied together so they 1973 01:49:57,160 --> 01:50:01,920 Speaker 3: don't move. And then up Martin Reverent thought and William 1974 01:50:02,080 --> 01:50:05,000 Speaker 3: Ludlow said, why are we casting one letter at a time, 1975 01:50:05,439 --> 01:50:08,280 Speaker 3: Why don't we cast a line of type. So they 1976 01:50:08,360 --> 01:50:10,560 Speaker 3: made machines that you put the molds all together, just 1977 01:50:10,640 --> 01:50:12,439 Speaker 3: like you're lining up the type. Now you're lining up 1978 01:50:12,479 --> 01:50:15,760 Speaker 3: the molds and you cast one line of type. So 1979 01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:17,760 Speaker 3: if you had a heading going across, that would be 1980 01:50:17,960 --> 01:50:19,719 Speaker 3: one piece of metal that you'd cast. 1981 01:50:20,120 --> 01:50:21,000 Speaker 6: And beauty. 1982 01:50:21,000 --> 01:50:24,240 Speaker 3: Also, it's fresh, brand new type, so to print really well. 1983 01:50:24,560 --> 01:50:26,680 Speaker 3: When you're using foundry type, it tends to wear down 1984 01:50:26,680 --> 01:50:29,439 Speaker 3: a little bit and get old and this is always 1985 01:50:29,479 --> 01:50:31,720 Speaker 3: fresh type. So the printing quality is much better when 1986 01:50:31,760 --> 01:50:35,240 Speaker 3: you're casting your own type now rather. 1987 01:50:35,160 --> 01:50:38,400 Speaker 1: Than for demonstrative purposes and historical purposes like what's going 1988 01:50:38,439 --> 01:50:41,040 Speaker 1: to happen when you're printing to Charles Dickens Chapter five 1989 01:50:41,120 --> 01:50:44,840 Speaker 1: and the speech. Is that still a process that's used today, 1990 01:50:44,840 --> 01:50:47,479 Speaker 1: because it sounds very labor intensive? Is it still a 1991 01:50:47,640 --> 01:50:50,559 Speaker 1: very labor intensive process? When I think about modern printers? 1992 01:50:50,720 --> 01:50:52,280 Speaker 1: I mean I go back to dot matrix and the 1993 01:50:52,320 --> 01:50:55,200 Speaker 1: current modern printers we have now it just zips things out. 1994 01:50:55,360 --> 01:50:57,720 Speaker 1: So is there still a lot of labor involved in 1995 01:50:57,760 --> 01:50:58,439 Speaker 1: the print industry? 1996 01:51:00,280 --> 01:51:01,639 Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, still a lot of labor. 1997 01:51:01,640 --> 01:51:04,519 Speaker 3: Even though AI has come into the printing industry, and 1998 01:51:04,600 --> 01:51:07,200 Speaker 3: so our press is today have a lot of AI 1999 01:51:07,360 --> 01:51:11,200 Speaker 3: technology and robotic technology, but you still need a human 2000 01:51:11,640 --> 01:51:14,959 Speaker 3: to run those machines. There's still a lot of handwork. 2001 01:51:15,560 --> 01:51:20,519 Speaker 3: Once it's printed, things that folded, stapled, and so there's 2002 01:51:20,520 --> 01:51:22,759 Speaker 3: still a lot of handwork on that. And then also 2003 01:51:22,960 --> 01:51:25,360 Speaker 3: the Mac computer when it comes out and it makes 2004 01:51:25,439 --> 01:51:30,200 Speaker 3: it available to anybody to create images. Now you'd think 2005 01:51:30,200 --> 01:51:32,280 Speaker 3: it would hurt the industry, but it did just the opposite. 2006 01:51:32,800 --> 01:51:35,599 Speaker 3: Not everybody can create a green card. Everybody can create 2007 01:51:35,640 --> 01:51:38,400 Speaker 3: a newsletter. So the volume of printing has actually gone 2008 01:51:38,479 --> 01:51:39,479 Speaker 3: up because of the computer. 2009 01:51:40,240 --> 01:51:42,280 Speaker 2: So we still for every. 2010 01:51:42,479 --> 01:51:44,800 Speaker 3: Press that's running, there's got to be at least five 2011 01:51:45,160 --> 01:51:47,960 Speaker 3: computers feeding it with artwork and so forth. Because the 2012 01:51:48,000 --> 01:51:50,320 Speaker 3: press is the day are so fast. I mean I 2013 01:51:50,479 --> 01:51:53,200 Speaker 3: just saw a video other day. I think Heidelberg has 2014 01:51:53,240 --> 01:51:55,960 Speaker 3: one that's going twenty two thousand copies in the hour. 2015 01:51:56,720 --> 01:51:59,559 Speaker 3: That's just mind boggling. Yeah, I mean, so they can 2016 01:51:59,640 --> 01:52:01,760 Speaker 3: really crank out the work really fast. So we need 2017 01:52:01,880 --> 01:52:04,200 Speaker 3: more and more people creating the work to feed these 2018 01:52:04,280 --> 01:52:05,120 Speaker 3: machines and keep them. 2019 01:52:05,080 --> 01:52:07,840 Speaker 1: Going, and the program be pivoting over to the other question. 2020 01:52:07,880 --> 01:52:10,040 Speaker 1: I have the program that you have helped these three 2021 01:52:10,120 --> 01:52:12,960 Speaker 1: men with I suppose, flack of a better word, disabilities. 2022 01:52:13,680 --> 01:52:16,160 Speaker 1: They were autistic, correct. 2023 01:52:16,960 --> 01:52:17,840 Speaker 3: They're autistic men. 2024 01:52:17,960 --> 01:52:20,880 Speaker 1: Yes, so there are career opportunities for folks out there 2025 01:52:20,920 --> 01:52:23,160 Speaker 1: who might think that there's not a career opportunity. I 2026 01:52:23,240 --> 01:52:25,960 Speaker 1: have a friend who's on an autistic spectrum. He's been 2027 01:52:26,000 --> 01:52:29,040 Speaker 1: working for a decade or more. I mean he lives 2028 01:52:29,120 --> 01:52:32,120 Speaker 1: by himself, self sufficient's got a good job. I mean 2029 01:52:32,160 --> 01:52:34,760 Speaker 1: he's on a higher spectrum, and the autism scale but 2030 01:52:35,200 --> 01:52:36,200 Speaker 1: definitely autistic. 2031 01:52:36,280 --> 01:52:36,560 Speaker 3: He is. 2032 01:52:36,640 --> 01:52:38,720 Speaker 1: But I think it's so nice to know that there 2033 01:52:38,760 --> 01:52:41,240 Speaker 1: are industries out there that in spite of some struggles 2034 01:52:41,280 --> 01:52:43,640 Speaker 1: people may have, are still have that they still have 2035 01:52:43,760 --> 01:52:44,800 Speaker 1: career opportunities. 2036 01:52:45,600 --> 01:52:45,760 Speaker 2: Right. 2037 01:52:46,960 --> 01:52:49,599 Speaker 3: And the thing that I just love about these three guys, 2038 01:52:50,160 --> 01:52:52,280 Speaker 3: they're the happiest people in the base there.

This is 2248 02:03:50,000 --> 02:03:52,800 Speaker 5: just one evening affair. I was invited. I thought I 2249 02:03:52,840 --> 02:03:53,440 Speaker 5: would attend. 2250 02:03:53,880 --> 02:03:58,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, lady, did those who were the pink haired ladies 2251 02:03:58,840 --> 02:04:01,920 Speaker 1: that were little upset or otherwise offended by the Trump Wine. 2252 02:04:01,960 --> 02:04:04,040 Speaker 1: Did they at least partake of the Trump wine to 2253 02:04:04,120 --> 02:04:06,280 Speaker 1: make comments about whether it was any good or bad? 2254 02:04:06,400 --> 02:04:07,600 Speaker 1: Or did they just stay away from it? 2255 02:04:08,800 --> 02:04:09,800 Speaker 5: They just stayed away? 2256 02:04:09,960 --> 02:04:15,000 Speaker 1: Kind of figure, Bobby, take care, man. I hope you 2257 02:04:15,080 --> 02:04:19,720 Speaker 1: had fun. Not everybody has to follow my advice. That's 2258 02:04:19,760 --> 02:04:21,760 Speaker 1: not something I would have done, but you know what, 2259 02:04:21,840 --> 02:04:24,800 Speaker 1: it kind of reminded me. I seriously, Bobby came to 2260 02:04:24,880 --> 02:04:27,760 Speaker 1: mind yesterday. I mentioned earlier in the program. I had 2261 02:04:27,880 --> 02:04:33,640 Speaker 1: probably the most restless, disturbing dream night of my life 2262 02:04:33,720 --> 02:04:38,520 Speaker 1: on Saturday night. And I don't know why. Don't something 2263 02:04:38,560 --> 02:04:40,200 Speaker 1: I ate? Maybe I had too much caffeine to me, 2264 02:04:40,280 --> 02:04:42,160 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I felt like I didn't get 2265 02:04:42,160 --> 02:04:44,880 Speaker 1: any sleep, and I had a recurring dream that really 2266 02:04:45,480 --> 02:04:52,360 Speaker 1: a boiled down kind of was like a dystopian nightmare, 2267 02:04:54,200 --> 02:04:57,040 Speaker 1: part of which was predicated on this this this great 2268 02:04:57,520 --> 02:05:00,200 Speaker 1: undoing of our social norms. As a concert, it's a 2269 02:05:00,240 --> 02:05:03,680 Speaker 1: bunchecked immigration. It's happening in a year. If it's happening here, 2270 02:05:04,080 --> 02:05:08,560 Speaker 1: it seems like in every Western country has been overwhelmed. 2271 02:05:08,960 --> 02:05:11,320 Speaker 1: And I think it's a concerted effort, folks to water 2272 02:05:11,440 --> 02:05:13,960 Speaker 1: down culture and you know, everybody's the same, and you know, 2273 02:05:14,040 --> 02:05:16,120 Speaker 1: we don't have any differences between us and them, and 2274 02:05:16,160 --> 02:05:19,520 Speaker 1: we're all, you know, we are the world whatever. But 2275 02:05:19,600 --> 02:05:23,200 Speaker 1: it's clearly happening. We talked about the Somali community up 2276 02:05:23,240 --> 02:05:26,120 Speaker 1: in Minnesota earlier, not an indictment of all people smalling, 2277 02:05:26,280 --> 02:05:28,120 Speaker 1: but a lot of them involved in criminal enterprises, some 2278 02:05:28,240 --> 02:05:32,480 Speaker 1: of them supporting terrorists. But eighty thousand people the locals 2279 02:05:32,560 --> 02:05:36,240 Speaker 1: up there refer to Little Mogadishu. You don't think that's 2280 02:05:36,240 --> 02:05:39,680 Speaker 1: had a profound impact on you know, Minnesota generally. Do they, 2281 02:05:39,920 --> 02:05:44,440 Speaker 1: you know, embrace American culture or don't they? I know, 2282 02:05:44,560 --> 02:05:46,720 Speaker 1: when of Trump's advisors pointed out that they come from 2283 02:05:46,800 --> 02:05:49,160 Speaker 1: such a corrupt country that a lot of this corruption, 2284 02:05:49,320 --> 02:05:51,800 Speaker 1: this may just be an extension of their philosophy about 2285 02:05:51,840 --> 02:05:54,640 Speaker 1: dealing with government, which is the government's corrupt. I don't 2286 02:05:54,640 --> 02:05:56,520 Speaker 1: care if I steal from them. Nobody cares. We all 2287 02:05:56,600 --> 02:05:58,480 Speaker 1: do it because well, they're corrupt, they deserve to be 2288 02:05:58,560 --> 02:06:02,160 Speaker 1: stolen from. Now, that to me doesn't carry over here. 2289 02:06:02,240 --> 02:06:04,640 Speaker 1: Although there's a lot of corruption in government, most notably 2290 02:06:04,640 --> 02:06:07,640 Speaker 1: a lot of fraud, wasted abuse in government, programs, generally speaking, 2291 02:06:07,680 --> 02:06:11,200 Speaker 1: which typically are designed to help people but are often abused. Sadly, 2292 02:06:11,360 --> 02:06:13,120 Speaker 1: most of our elected officials don't really seem to care 2293 02:06:13,120 --> 02:06:15,160 Speaker 1: about the fraud wasted abuse component as long as they 2294 02:06:15,200 --> 02:06:17,400 Speaker 1: got the little feather in their cat. They can, you know, 2295 02:06:17,760 --> 02:06:20,680 Speaker 1: crow about how much they've helped people on live's margins. 2296 02:06:24,280 --> 02:06:26,160 Speaker 1: But this was such a disturbing series of dreams I 2297 02:06:26,200 --> 02:06:28,760 Speaker 1: couldn't shake it. I literally would wake up, going back 2298 02:06:28,840 --> 02:06:31,840 Speaker 1: to sleep and struggling with the same dystopian reality in 2299 02:06:31,920 --> 02:06:37,040 Speaker 1: my dream. And in my dream Eugene Debs came up. Now, 2300 02:06:37,120 --> 02:06:40,760 Speaker 1: I haven't heard the name Eugene Debs mentioned in twenty 2301 02:06:41,200 --> 02:06:43,280 Speaker 1: thirty I don't know how many years. And if you'd 2302 02:06:43,400 --> 02:06:46,640 Speaker 1: ask me who the first socialist slash communist party leader 2303 02:06:46,840 --> 02:06:48,760 Speaker 1: was in the United States of America, I probably would 2304 02:06:48,760 --> 02:06:51,520 Speaker 1: have said something like Woodrow Wilson, but no Eugene Debs. 2305 02:06:52,360 --> 02:06:54,520 Speaker 1: It was a big labor activist back in the late 2306 02:06:54,640 --> 02:06:56,960 Speaker 1: eighteen hundreds early nineteen hundreds. I think he did take 2307 02:06:56,960 --> 02:06:59,440 Speaker 1: a shot as running as a socialist or communist as 2308 02:06:59,480 --> 02:07:02,720 Speaker 1: a for president, but he was like the original you know, 2309 02:07:03,520 --> 02:07:08,000 Speaker 1: democrats socialist. So for whatever reason, Eugene Debs was packed 2310 02:07:08,080 --> 02:07:10,800 Speaker 1: back in my subconscious somewhere, and my dream was so 2311 02:07:11,040 --> 02:07:15,400 Speaker 1: blank and weird and bizarre and disturbing that he popped 2312 02:07:15,440 --> 02:07:18,840 Speaker 1: into it, and it was left so disturbed by it 2313 02:07:18,960 --> 02:07:21,320 Speaker 1: that just you've had a dream like where it carries 2314 02:07:21,400 --> 02:07:23,880 Speaker 1: over and affects your mood and how you feel the 2315 02:07:23,960 --> 02:07:26,160 Speaker 1: next day.

Welcome to the Morning Show. 2331 02:08:20,000 --> 02:08:23,080 Speaker 10: Hey, Brian, I just wanted to say that, you know, 2332 02:08:24,200 --> 02:08:26,320 Speaker 10: I haven't had dreams like that. Other people had dreams 2333 02:08:26,400 --> 02:08:31,520 Speaker 10: like that. And you know, God uses dreams sometimes and 2334 02:08:31,720 --> 02:08:36,200 Speaker 10: sometimes you will this thing you will not forget. Okay. 2335 02:08:36,240 --> 02:08:38,080 Speaker 10: There are some things you know, you wake up and 2336 02:08:38,160 --> 02:08:40,640 Speaker 10: you think, oh my gosh, and you forgot it. Like 2337 02:08:41,400 --> 02:08:44,680 Speaker 10: some things like these, Yeah, you do not forget. For 2338 02:08:44,760 --> 02:08:47,560 Speaker 10: a reason. God is trying to show you something. He's 2339 02:08:47,600 --> 02:08:49,040 Speaker 10: trying to wake some people up. 2340 02:08:49,280 --> 02:08:49,480 Speaker 1: Yep. 2341 02:08:49,800 --> 02:08:52,680 Speaker 10: And I really I'm telling you I'm not a dreamologist, 2342 02:08:53,080 --> 02:08:55,240 Speaker 10: but I'm a Christian and I'm telling you the Holy 2343 02:08:55,280 --> 02:08:57,840 Speaker 10: Spirit can wake people up in these ways. 2344 02:08:58,280 --> 02:09:02,040 Speaker 1: Well, you know, I'm agreeing with you. And I don't 2345 02:09:02,040 --> 02:09:04,360 Speaker 1: know if it's a divine intervention, but I'm the type 2346 02:09:04,400 --> 02:09:10,760 Speaker 1: of guy who rarely ever remembers dreams. I mean rarely ever. 2347 02:09:10,960 --> 02:09:13,280 Speaker 1: I mean it's almost like if it happens, I'll mention 2348 02:09:13,360 --> 02:09:15,320 Speaker 1: it to my wife. I remembered a dream that I 2349 02:09:15,400 --> 02:09:17,400 Speaker 1: had last night. You know, maybe it was comical or goofy, 2350 02:09:17,480 --> 02:09:19,840 Speaker 1: but I'll never wake up in the morning. It's like never. 2351 02:09:20,640 --> 02:09:24,200 Speaker 1: This one was like I lived it and it lasted 2352 02:09:24,320 --> 02:09:27,720 Speaker 1: again all through Sunday. It ruined my not totally ruined, 2353 02:09:27,760 --> 02:09:29,800 Speaker 1: but it really impacted my mood on Sunday, and I 2354 02:09:30,000 --> 02:09:32,400 Speaker 1: remembered it was such clarity. So you may have a 2355 02:09:32,480 --> 02:09:34,200 Speaker 1: good point there, but it was almost as if the 2356 02:09:34,800 --> 02:09:38,560 Speaker 1: puzzle pieces sort of materialized in my mind that I 2357 02:09:38,680 --> 02:09:42,800 Speaker 1: saw with crystal clear vision that we are being intentionally 2358 02:09:43,040 --> 02:09:46,160 Speaker 1: undermined on so many levels. 2359 02:09:47,880 --> 02:09:48,520 Speaker 2: We really are. 2360 02:09:49,000 --> 02:09:52,400 Speaker 10: It is intentional. It's a globalist. It's the globalist, and 2361 02:09:52,480 --> 02:09:56,240 Speaker 10: they've got us in fighting race against race, gender against gender. 2362 02:09:56,720 --> 02:09:59,400 Speaker 10: All this is injected in by the communist. These are 2363 02:09:59,440 --> 02:10:01,960 Speaker 10: the communist to us end, and they're working with other 2364 02:10:02,120 --> 02:10:03,200 Speaker 10: radicals and terrorists. 2365 02:10:03,240 --> 02:10:03,800 Speaker 2: They're all. 2366 02:10:05,160 --> 02:10:10,720 Speaker 10: Amalgamation, amalgamating together until conglomerate for the same purpose. Hate America, 2367 02:10:10,920 --> 02:10:15,760 Speaker 10: Hate things that were God founded on God and moral principles. 2368 02:10:16,200 --> 02:10:20,240 Speaker 10: Hate these things. This is satanic, ultimately, it's satanic. God 2369 02:10:20,360 --> 02:10:23,320 Speaker 10: can use anybody. He can use good people, he can 2370 02:10:23,400 --> 02:10:25,400 Speaker 10: use bad people, he can use in between people. He 2371 02:10:25,440 --> 02:10:28,320 Speaker 10: can use people like maybe maybe even Trump that aren't 2372 02:10:28,360 --> 02:10:31,360 Speaker 10: so great. Sometimes he can use. He can use some 2373 02:10:31,680 --> 02:10:34,440 Speaker 10: you wouldn't believe. God can use it anybody he chooses to, 2374 02:10:34,680 --> 02:10:37,040 Speaker 10: and he can give dreams to anybody he chooses to 2375 02:10:37,680 --> 02:10:40,880 Speaker 10: for a purpose. There is a purpose. You got that dream. 2376 02:10:41,440 --> 02:10:44,120 Speaker 10: Others have gotten other parts of dreams, like a dystopian 2377 02:10:44,240 --> 02:10:44,560 Speaker 10: thing that. 2378 02:10:44,760 --> 02:10:46,600 Speaker 8: Was happened to me. 2379 02:10:46,640 --> 02:10:48,800 Speaker 10: You couldn't even get I got up. I couldn't even talk. 2380 02:10:49,560 --> 02:10:52,680 Speaker 10: It was so disturbing. Everything was dark. Everything was just 2381 02:10:52,800 --> 02:10:57,480 Speaker 10: completely dark, and there had some I couldn't even describe it, 2382 02:10:58,240 --> 02:11:02,360 Speaker 10: but it I know that it was pure evil. Yeah, 2383 02:11:02,520 --> 02:11:06,480 Speaker 10: so I'm just telling you. I'm not saying to dwell 2384 02:11:06,560 --> 02:11:08,800 Speaker 10: on it and ask God. You know, if you know 2385 02:11:08,920 --> 02:11:12,160 Speaker 10: God's showing you something for a purpose, you have a microphone. 2386 02:11:12,560 --> 02:11:15,440 Speaker 10: He's trying to have you connect a missing dot, a 2387 02:11:15,520 --> 02:11:20,680 Speaker 10: piece of the puzzle. See, you know the subconscious You 2388 02:11:20,760 --> 02:11:26,760 Speaker 10: can answer questions sometimes, but God can give you dreams 2389 02:11:26,840 --> 02:11:31,240 Speaker 10: that way He gave up people know the Bible dreams. Sure, 2390 02:11:32,600 --> 02:11:36,200 Speaker 10: so Keith Fah, would you know all kinds of things. 2391 02:11:36,320 --> 02:11:39,760 Speaker 1: I understand. And for those out there, maybe agnostic atheists, 2392 02:11:39,800 --> 02:11:42,440 Speaker 1: not of the Christian faith, doesn't matter. It was not God, 2393 02:11:42,520 --> 02:11:46,680 Speaker 1: it was not the devil. It's just the ultimately realizing 2394 02:11:46,760 --> 02:11:49,400 Speaker 1: because I sit and consume this type of information every 2395 02:11:49,480 --> 02:11:51,320 Speaker 1: single day. But again, it was that moment of clarity 2396 02:11:51,360 --> 02:11:54,320 Speaker 1: that the dream provided. But there are evil people in 2397 02:11:54,360 --> 02:11:56,120 Speaker 1: the world who want to undermine what we are and 2398 02:11:56,160 --> 02:11:58,720 Speaker 1: who we are for whatever nefarious purpose, call it a 2399 02:11:58,800 --> 02:12:01,400 Speaker 1: satanic purpose, or call it just because it is in 2400 02:12:01,680 --> 02:12:05,000 Speaker 1: their like globalist best interest that we don't have babies 2401 02:12:05,040 --> 02:12:07,400 Speaker 1: and we've reduced the population. They have control everybody, and 2402 02:12:07,440 --> 02:12:09,200 Speaker 1: blah blah blah. He can go on for hours and 2403 02:12:09,280 --> 02:12:13,520 Speaker 1: hours and hours. So it's do you care about capitalism? 2404 02:12:13,600 --> 02:12:15,840 Speaker 1: Do you care about America? Do you care about freedoms 2405 02:12:15,920 --> 02:12:19,480 Speaker 1: and liberties that only we enjoy. I dearly appreciate that, 2406 02:12:19,640 --> 02:12:21,240 Speaker 1: and I never lose sight of that. It's one of 2407 02:12:21,280 --> 02:12:22,600 Speaker 1: the reasons why I'm so happy I was born in 2408 02:12:22,600 --> 02:12:24,360 Speaker 1: the United States of America. But to see it being 2409 02:12:24,480 --> 02:12:27,080 Speaker 1: eroded in front of us, and to see people being 2410 02:12:27,280 --> 02:12:29,760 Speaker 1: duped by it, that's the other component I mentioned. The 2411 02:12:29,920 --> 02:12:32,840 Speaker 1: education system has been ruined us for our young people. 2412 02:12:33,120 --> 02:12:37,440 Speaker 1: They're ill equipped to say no, I am not abiding 2413 02:12:37,640 --> 02:12:41,480 Speaker 1: by your characterization of me as a racist or a 2414 02:12:42,240 --> 02:12:45,280 Speaker 1: xenophob or whatever. That's not me. You don't know me, 2415 02:12:45,440 --> 02:12:47,760 Speaker 1: But here I am. I stand up to it. I'm 2416 02:12:47,760 --> 02:12:49,240 Speaker 1: allowed to stand up to it because I think I 2417 02:12:49,280 --> 02:12:51,920 Speaker 1: have an educational foundation and enough knowledge about what's going 2418 02:12:51,920 --> 02:12:53,680 Speaker 1: on in the world to say, you know, screw you. 2419 02:12:54,040 --> 02:12:55,480 Speaker 1: You're not gonna convince me. But there are a lot 2420 02:12:55,480 --> 02:12:57,440 Speaker 1: of people that cower in the face of that. Maybe 2421 02:12:57,480 --> 02:12:59,480 Speaker 1: they're not as smart as other people who are accusing 2422 02:12:59,560 --> 02:13:01,960 Speaker 1: them of falling into one of these categories, and they 2423 02:13:02,240 --> 02:13:04,400 Speaker 1: are unwilling to stand up for it. Maybe they're afraid 2424 02:13:04,440 --> 02:13:07,160 Speaker 1: of being made fun of or a comment made on 2425 02:13:07,320 --> 02:13:11,760 Speaker 1: social media. You gotta stand up to that. Screw it. Yeah, 2426 02:13:11,800 --> 02:13:13,680 Speaker 1: you're never gonna please all the people all the time. 2427 02:13:13,800 --> 02:13:17,000 Speaker 1: So embrace your principles, recognize what you've got here, the 2428 02:13:17,160 --> 02:13:20,400 Speaker 1: gift of God that you were born in the United States, 2429 02:13:20,480 --> 02:13:23,160 Speaker 1: and don't let it slip away from you, and fight 2430 02:13:23,320 --> 02:13:26,160 Speaker 1: this nefarious activity regardless of its origin. 2431 02:13:27,080 --> 02:13:27,360 Speaker 5: Corey. 2432 02:13:27,520 --> 02:13:29,600 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Morning Show.

That country has 2453 02:14:24,680 --> 02:14:25,120 Speaker 1: gone back. 2454 02:14:27,200 --> 02:14:27,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. 2455 02:14:27,480 --> 02:14:30,520 Speaker 11: Nolk has a big piece on it on Well. 2456 02:14:31,200 --> 02:14:34,320 Speaker 1: All I can say is Corey used Britain as a 2457 02:14:34,480 --> 02:14:37,760 Speaker 1: cautionary tale. Used to be a free society. It's not anymore. 2458 02:14:37,800 --> 02:14:40,880 Speaker 1: If you want some reading along those lines Editorial, Bird 2459 02:14:40,920 --> 02:14:43,280 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal. I'm looking for the dateline on this 2460 02:14:43,480 --> 02:14:49,040 Speaker 1: twenty seventh Britain budgets for national decline. They're jack in 2461 02:14:49,120 --> 02:14:51,360 Speaker 1: the taxes way up, which is going to force people 2462 02:14:51,400 --> 02:14:53,560 Speaker 1: to leave the country like they already haven't already. And 2463 02:14:53,600 --> 02:14:56,840 Speaker 1: the reason is because they refused to reform their welfare state, 2464 02:14:57,120 --> 02:15:00,200 Speaker 1: which is becoming a massive train wreck because they do 2465 02:15:00,360 --> 02:15:03,440 Speaker 1: not stop immigrants at the gate. They've let everybody and 2466 02:15:03,520 --> 02:15:06,440 Speaker 1: his brothers, sister's, mom, and dad into the country. It's 2467 02:15:06,480 --> 02:15:09,320 Speaker 1: become a tremendous burden on it. But rather than fix that, 2468 02:15:10,120 --> 02:15:15,360 Speaker 1: they're raising taxes across the board, forty seven percent income 2469 02:15:15,480 --> 02:15:20,560 Speaker 1: tax rates, new property taxes on homes. The list is 2470 02:15:20,640 --> 02:15:22,440 Speaker 1: on and on and on. You want to move there, 2471 02:15:22,560 --> 02:15:25,480 Speaker 1: No nobody does. And then there's that whole free speech 2472 02:15:25,560 --> 02:15:28,240 Speaker 1: thing which they've thrown out the window. Eight fifty six 2473 02:15:28,600 --> 02:15:30,920 Speaker 1: fifty five KOs the talk station, Thank you, Joe Strekker
