Speaker 2: You know?

00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 1: Well, he says, we're still in the middle of football.

10
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: But for crying out loud, I mean, if it's not

11
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: going to get any better than what we saw the

12
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, it's going to be a long, long,

13
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: long football season. But we've got business to get to,

14
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: so let's go ahead and do that. In the in

15
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: the wake of Charlie Kirk, there has been an awakening

16
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: of what it means to be I think a decent

17
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: person in our society and especially amongst a lot of

18
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: young people. And I think that's a great thing. And

19
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,839
Speaker 1: there is an event coming up on Monday, the October

20
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: the sixth in Butler County and it's going to be

21
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: a celebration of life and a candlelight vigil for Charlie Kirk.

22
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: And it is being put on by the Butler County

23
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: Republican Party. And joining me now is the executive director

24
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: of the Butler County GOP, and that is Joe Statzer.

25
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: And Joe, it is great to have you on the show.

26
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 1: How are you tonight?

27
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: I'm doing fine.

28
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 3: Thank you, it's great to be here.

29
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: Thank you so much.

30
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 3: Talk about Charlie Kirk.

31
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, thank you so much. And it's but it's

32
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: a terrible thing that we have to talk about him.

33
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: And we all know what happened to Charlie Kirk. But

34
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: let me before we talk about the event, let me

35
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: ask you this. There's been so much reporting about how,

36
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: especially in look Charlie Kirk made we found out. I

37
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: think we had an idea that he was makingnnections with

38
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: young people all across the country, and I think in

39
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: the wake of his assassination, we found out just how

40
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: profound that connection really was. And we've seen the literal

41
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: explosion of Turning Point USA clubs popping up and growing

42
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: in high schools and colleges all across the country, but

43
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: especially in the high school level. How has that manifested itself?

44
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: Have you seen this yourself happening there in Butler County, Oh?

45
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 3: Absolutely. I know there is a couple of schools in

46
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 3: Butler County that starting chapters. Ironically, Miami University had just

47
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 3: launched a Turning Point USA had had a meeting just

48
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 3: before the assassination. But it's already growing. It's just bursting.

49
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 3: And I was actually talking to a couple of the

50
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 3: college Republicans tonight and the interest up there is overwhelming.

51
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 3: I mean, Charlie's influence on what happened, it's having an

52
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 3: amazing impact.

53
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think when you look at the kind

54
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: of things that Charlie cur was about, yeah, it can't

55
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: help but make four young people who are much better rounded,

56
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: much better prepared to face adversity in their life, much

57
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: better prepared to deal on an intellectual level. And uh

58
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: and and have I think a more realistic view of

59
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: the world and the world and and actually be more

60
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: aware of the world around them if they if they

61
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: get involved in in in something like Turning Point in USA.

62
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 3: Well at least you get two sides that way. And

63
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 3: college campuses, which I'm not sure you really ever did

64
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 3: you know? That was what was amazing about it is

65
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 3: that you know, people were some of the responses and

66
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 3: you know what we're talking about here. Some of the

67
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 3: responses on social media from the from the left, from

68
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 3: the from the left wingers has been nothing short of

69
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 3: just terrible, just awful pathetic. But you know what he

70
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 3: was doing, what Charlie was doing, was he was at

71
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 3: least giving the other side a saying, and he was

72
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 3: doing it with courage, and he was doing it with

73
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 3: civil debate. He was letting people give their side and

74
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 3: then having logical discussion, which I thought that was what

75
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 3: college and universities were all about. And he was doing that,

76
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 3: and he was doing it civilly, and he was doing

77
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 3: it with with with a great touch of view and

78
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 3: human connection with people and UH. And we're going to

79
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 3: miss it. But I'll tell you what. What's happened since

80
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 3: the assassination that terrible day has been, like you said,

81
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 3: just an outpouring of support and UH for turning point

82
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 3: us a and for these for these type of UH

83
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 3: connections with people, young people on college campuses and young

84
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 3: people all over.

85
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: And that's one of the things that's so frustrating to

86
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: me in the wake of all this, all the people

87
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: that want to call him a Nazi, all the people

88
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: that want to call him a purveyor of hate, all

89
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: these other nasty terms that they that they would they

90
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: still use about him when they when they do this,

91
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: and people like Jasmine Crockett, nil ha ilhan Omar and

92
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: some of the other UH regular suspects have doubled and

93
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: tripled down on some of the nasty things that they

94
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: said in the wake of this assassination. And I've always said,

95
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: I mean, the body of work is there for anyone

96
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: to see that there there is an abundance of videos

97
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: and writings and clips. I mean, people don't tell me.

98
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: People know how to use YouTube and and just go

99
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: look up Charlie Kirk and you will see that a

100
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: lot of the things that are being said about him

101
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: that he said, mean things about women, that he said,

102
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: mean things about transgenders and all this. You know, the

103
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: homophobia is homophobia. Look it up. Look it up and

104
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: look at what he actually said. Don't listen to people

105
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: who are just saying these things and that what was

106
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: in the wake of this assassination that was so frustrating

107
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: to me. And people just simply regurgitate what they hear

108
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: on some of the leftists and socialist media out there,

109
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: and they and they act as if they're the ones

110
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: who really know what this guy was all about.

111
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 3: Exactly. These left wing talking heads who are not you know,

112
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 3: if they do quote him, they take his words out

113
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 3: of context, but you're right, most of the time they

114
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 3: don't quote him at all. And you know what they

115
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 3: say about the name callers, I mean, they've got no argument,

116
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 3: they don't they can't even rise to anything close to

117
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 3: Charlie's abilities, so they just start calling them names and

118
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 3: stating things out of context and name calling, and it's

119
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 3: it's pathetic because you're right, there was none of that there.

120
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 3: His his his videos are out there. Watched them give

121
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 3: him five minutes and then tried to tell me that

122
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 3: he was anything but civil and that he was just

123
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 3: trying to engage in good solid debate, which is, you know,

124
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 3: the cornerstone of one of the cornerstones of America. So yeah,

125
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 3: just some of the some of the responses has been

126
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 3: a sad commentary on not not America, but that's just

127
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 3: the left wing America and where they're at these days.

128
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the other part that's amazing to me is

129
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: how some people can be so ultra critical of a

130
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: guy who is so upfront and open about his faith

131
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: and what his faith meant to him, and it just

132
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: it really showed some of the worst. But you know what,

133
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: I think a lot of that is in time, a

134
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: lot of that is going to be erased. And I

135
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: think the events like you're having on this coming Monday night,

136
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: October the sixth, is going to be you know, those

137
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: kind of events I think go a long way into

138
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: dispelling some of that. So tell me about this candlelight

139
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: vigil that you guys are having for Charlie cart.

140
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 3: Well, you pointed it out. Let me just start with

141
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 3: Dan that. Look, when the left wing gets feels wrong,

142
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 3: they have riots, they burned down cities, they attack law enforcement.

143
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 3: We've been seeing peaceful vigils all over the nation.

144
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,679
Speaker 1: Excellent point. And that is an excellent point.

145
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And that's what conservatives do. And we're not

146
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 3: out to destroy the country. We're out to try to

147
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 3: rebuild it, and the left wing just wants to just

148
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 3: tear it down. So what we're having for Charlie Kirk is,

149
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 3: as you said, a celebration of life prayer vigil on

150
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 3: October sixth, twenty twenty five. That's this Monday night at

151
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 3: the Butler County Fairgrounds, which is over at seventeen fifteen

152
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 3: Fairgrove Avenue in Hamilton, in the downtown Hamilton on the

153
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 3: east side over there. So we have some speakers. Cook

154
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 3: who is a Fox, who's contributor and has been a

155
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 3: speaker at our Lincoln Day dinners. Uh, she wanted to

156
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 3: come and do this. She's done a couple of vigils.

157

Speaker 3: is going to be there and say a few words.

165
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 3: One of the judges who's also has some pastor background,

166
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 3: Judge Greg Stevens, is going to talk about Charlie's favorite

167
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 3: versus Biblical versus Romans twenty eight is I think his

168
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 3: favorite verse or was his favorite verse? Look, this is

169
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 3: going to be there's gonna be a spiritual side to this,

170
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 3: and we're not ashamed of that. We you know, Charlie

171
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 3: said he wanted to be in member for the courage

172
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 3: that he had for his faith, and I think that

173
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 3: goes a long way too. There's a lot of people

174
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 3: that want to come to celebrate Charlie and who have

175
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 3: a very strong spiritual uh core and foundation, and that's

176
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 3: going to come out there, so uh too. So U candlelight,

177
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 3: We're gonna have some candles lit. We're gonna have some

178
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 3: really beautiful music that's going to be played, and I

179
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 3: think people will really really enjoy coming out and celebrating

180
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 3: Charlie in his memory and what he meant, and then

181
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 3: moving forward to carry that torch.

182
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 5: Uh.

183
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 3: You know, just tell Charlie we got it from here.

184
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 3: We have to take it from here, and.

185
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: We will absolutely so. I found the information on the

186
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: butlercountygp dot org. I went to that website, went to

187
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: events and just scrolled down and all the information was

188
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: right there. Do you have, you know, on Facebook and

189
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: other social media where people can find this information if

190
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: they need to.

191
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll try the website first, but we have a

192
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 3: lot of people sharing it on a social medi If

193
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 3: you find it, please share it. Let your friends and

194
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 3: neighbors know. Obviously it's not just a Butler County event.

195
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 3: It can be anywhere in the large WLW listening area.

196
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 3: But anybody wants to come as welcome.

197
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 4: There will be a tight.

198
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 3: Security, so that's that's part of it too, because you

199
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 3: never know who's.

200
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 2: Going to try to come and do something.

201
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 3: But I think that would be a bad idea. It's

202
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 3: going to be a very very nice event, and I

203
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 3: think it's going to be a wonderful night to just

204
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 3: really celebrate civility and America and Charlie Kirk and what

205
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 3: he meant in faith and conservative values, and that's what

206
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 3: we're all about in Butler County. As you know, it's

207
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 3: it's led the state of Ohio and plurality vote for

208
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 3: three straight elections. So that's what we're all about, and

209
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 3: we're on a bass we're unashamed to share that. So

210
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 3: this will be a very very fine event.

211
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: All right.

212
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: Well, Joe Statzer of the Butler County GOP, I can't

00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: They've got it out there on their social media and

234
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: all the rest of that. So that's a Charlie Kirk

235
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 1: event Butler County fair Grounds, October sixth. This coming out

236
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: Monday night, Butler County fair Grounds and doors open at

237
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: six and the program starts at seven. So we are

238
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: looking forward to that. It is nine to twenty coming

239
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: up on the show tonight. I was I almost had

240
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: the show where I only had one guest, and then

241
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: things started happening, and I got a hold of Corey Bowman,

242
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: and I wanted to have Corey Bowman on because he

243
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: has just been putting out some some of the most

244
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: provocative stuff on his social media. And I mean that

245
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: in the best way possible. It's amazing that this guy's

246
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: a Republican. It has been decades, it seems like, since

247
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: a Republican has mounted a serious challenge to become the

248
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: mayor of the city of Cincinnati, and this guy's campaign

249
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: has just mean you talk about, you know, grassroots, you

250
00:12:54,160 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: talk about genuine, you talk about not being fake. When

251
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: this guy's campaign started, I don't think anyone really knew

252
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: who Corey Bowman was other than the fact that there

253
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: was a tagline that he is the brother of Jade Vans,

254
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: and I think it's actually, if I'm not mistaken, I

255
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: think it's actually step brother. But that was sort of

256
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: the you know that, you know, that was it sort

257
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: of stopped right there. But as you listen to him speak,

258
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: and you listen to the ideas that he has, and

259
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: you listen to the seriousness, seriousness in which he is

260
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: approaching this this this is a guy who is not

261
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: to be taken lightly and so I'm going to have

262
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: him on tonight, and he posted a video that was

263
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: absolutely startling about what is really happened happening on the

264
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: streets of downtown Cincinnati. And if you've seen it, you

265
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about. And we will we will

266
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: play the video and the audio of it as we

267
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: get into he's going to join me after the news

268
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: here at the bottom of the hour. As we get

269
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: into that interview, we will play that audio. And I

270
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: also want to get his thoughts on the item piece

271
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: to Channel nine put out earlier this week, and it

272
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: has to do with this consultant for the City of Cincinnati,

273
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: Iris Rolie. So she not only does she head up

274
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: the Citizens Complaint Authority, and not only does she love

275
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: to interfere with police work and make the lives of

276
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: our Cincinnati police officers a living hell. She gets paid

277
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: very nicely by the City of Cincinnati, by your tax dollars.

278
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: And so there was an item piece that was done

279
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: on her and well, yeah, well it's under the heading

280
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: of I'm looking at the website right now. It's under

281
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: the heading of itam for WCPO Channel nine and Paula

282
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: Christian and they found her contract and how much she

283
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: is being She is being paid for three years work

284
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood of six hundred thousand dollars. Not only

285
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: that she was able to hire her son to apparently

286
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: walk around Fountain Square, not Fountain Square, but Government Square

287
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: just a little bit to the east there a Fountain

288
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: Square and pass out some pamphlets, some flyers, some informational things.

289
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: And this was a part time job that paid fifty

290
00:15:52,400 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: eight dollars an hour. And apparently there was no review process,

291
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: no oversight, no no red tape, no paperwork for iris

292
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: rolely to fill out. She you know, just hey, hey,

293
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: here's my son. Yeah, I know, he's had a rough

294
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: you know, a rough way to go. Got some convictions

295
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: for having a weapon, under disability. I think there might

296
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: have been a drug conviction in there, a couple other things.

297
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna pay him fifty eight

298
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: bucks an hour to go walking around Government Square passing

299
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: out some literature. Not a bad gig if you can

300
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: get it. So we'll get his thoughts on that crime

301
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. And this this notion that the city of

302
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: Cincinnati is relieving medical debt for about one hundred thousand people.

303
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: How does that happen? So stick around for that. Corey

304
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: Bowman will join me after the news here at the

00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: his social media feed yesterday. And this was absolutely startling,

314
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 1: at least it was to me. It is video from

315
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: downtown Cincinnati this past Sunday morning at just after three am.

316
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: And this is what it sounded like in the city

317
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati at that time. And Joe hit that cut

318
00:17:51,359 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: cut number one. So that's not be Root, that's not

319
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: some city in the Middle East. That's downtown Cincinnati at

320
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 1: just after three o'clock in the morning this past Sunday morning.

321
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: And uh mayoral candidate Corey Bowman, who posted that video,

322
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: is joining me now. And Corey Bowman Thank you so

323
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: much for being here. It is absolutely startling and and

324
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna tell you why. When I first saw

325
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 1: you posted that video, I was looking at it on

326
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: my cell phone. And so in the lower right hand

327
00:18:53,920 --> 00:19:00,360
Speaker 1: corner is is the shot that comes from that that's

328
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 1: race just north of Third Street, if I'm not mistaken.

329
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: And I couldn't see it that well on my cell phone.

330
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: But when I watched it earlier or before I came

331
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: into the studio tonight, I had it on my computer

332
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: and watched it full screen on my computer. Those aren't

333
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: just gunshots being and that was a running gun battle

334
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: that was taking place on the streets of downtown Cincinnati,

335
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: just a couple of blocks from pay Corse Stadium.

336
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 6: Yes, sir, well Dan, thank you so much for having me.

337
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 6: It's it's an honor and be on.

338
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 7: Yeah.

339
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 6: I got set that video actually from a business owner

340
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 6: in downtown. He's got cameras, and he basically said, we've

341
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 6: got to get this out here because it's been four

342
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 6: days later and I have I'm really not getting asked

343
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 6: by local authorities to, you.

344
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 4: Know, provide this video.

345
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 6: And he had the video he let authorities know, you know,

346
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 6: but that's just kind of the state of what's going

347
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 6: on downtown. That was right off the third Street, like

348
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 6: what you said, said the block away from Payport Stadium.

349
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 6: I think it's actually notable to say that, you know,

350
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 6: the Reds even though we didn't have a home game,

351
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 6: many people were at the banks at the local restaurants

352
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 6: watching the late night game of us playing the Dodgers

353
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 6: just about probably two hours before that. So that's something

354
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,959
Speaker 6: that's happening in our city. And then I would, you know,

355
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 6: send you the video. I literally just got it about

356
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 6: fifteen twenty minutes ago, but two teenagers were just shot

357
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 6: in OTR north of Liberty, and I got a similar

358
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 6: video from another business owner that has videos, and you know,

359
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 6: people are crying out and they basically saying something's got

360
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 6: to happen right now, because this is a date. It's

361
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 6: becoming almost a daily occurrence in our city.

362
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 1: It really is a shame though, because it seems like

363
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: crime is at least a dealing with crime. So my

364
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 1: way of thinking, should be the number one issue that

365
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: is concerning those it's city haul right now and when

366
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: we have events like this. Chris Smithman posted on his

367
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 1: social media a day or so ago a person who

368
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: put a frightening narrative about a guy who was on

369
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: Madison Avenue and an s u V for a full

370
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: of teenagers rolled up next to his car, cut in

371
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: front of him, jumped out and put a gun to

372
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 1: his face, and only because he had the quick enough

373
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 1: reaction to throw it in reverse, back out of there,

374
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: do a like what we what we used to call

375
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 1: a Rockford turn and get the hell out of there.

376
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: You know, this guy thought for sure he was going

377
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: to be shot and killed. I mean, I don't know

378
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: if you saw that post, but that is absolutely frightening.

379
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: And and these kind of things. It doesn't seem it

380
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: does just doesn't seem like they want to deal with this.

381
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: And I mean there's a lot of lip service. There's

382
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: a lot of talk about how they're gonna, you know,

383
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,479
Speaker 1: do this, that and the other thing. But when you

384
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: have a running gun battle in the streets of Cincinnati,

385
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: no one gets arrested. I haven't heard of want arrest

386
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: on this. I know on Short Vine a couple of

387
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: nights ago, there was a person who was jumped by

388
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 1: a gang and and and and this person on Short

389
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: Vine had the me you know, had the they have

390
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 1: the living crap beat out of them. And this is

391
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: going on. I am told there are gangs of young

392
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: teenagers who are running around the streets to Cincinnati, stealing cars,

393
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: committing crimes, putting guns at people. And this shooting gun

394
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: battle I think is probably just one of the latest episodes,

395
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: you know, and then we've got I can scroll through

396
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 1: your feed right here, and you know, some dude gets

397
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: shot and over the rhine two people got shot earlier tonight.

398
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 1: It is it just seems like it's completely out of control.

399
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 2: It really is.

400
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 6: And what we're talking about here is incompetence from the

401
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 6: top down. We're calling this trick trickle down in top

402
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 6: because what's happening even though we see the violence on

403
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 6: the streets and there's a lot of emotions that are

404
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 6: tied into this, and everybody wants to throw in politics,

405
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 6: but really what we're having an issue with right now

406
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 6: is the administrative failures from city hall. Because as long

407
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 6: as we can remember, ever since the days of canaan Abel,

408
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 6: there has been crime on the earth and there has

409
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 6: been very simple ways that you have to combat this,

410
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 6: and you have to be able to enforce laws. You

411
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 6: have to have your police force be able to do

412
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 6: their job, and then you have to have people to

413
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 6: have these consequences when they are booked through the judges

414
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,719
Speaker 6: and the prosecution and the judicial area. And that's not

415
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 6: what's happening in our city. And what's happening really is

416
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 6: that people are getting so desensitized, people are getting so

417
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 6: used to what's happening right now, the cops don't even

418
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 6: see a point in making the arrest because they think

419
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 6: that the people are just going to be on the

420
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 6: street the next week. And then what happens too is

421
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,239
Speaker 6: that many people, because we have non pursuit laws in

422
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 6: our city, they're openly taunting police officers by driving by

423
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 6: a high speeds in their cars or in their ATVs

424
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 6: or dirt bike, and the cops don't do anything about it.

425
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 6: And this is coming from the top down. This isn't

426
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 6: lazy cops, This isn't cops that don't care about our city.

427
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 2: This is about.

428
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 6: Mismanagement of our city and what we've seen over the

429
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 6: course of the summer, what we've seen over the course

430
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,719
Speaker 6: of continuing on in the fall. This has to change

431
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 6: from the top down. And that's actually why we're having

432
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 6: this election in November. Is because people have a choice.

433
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 6: If they're unhappy with the state of our city, they

434
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 6: have to get out and vote. They got to be

435
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 6: a part of these elections that are happening.

436
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: So, Corey Bowman, I know you did an event I

437
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 1: think it was this past Friday with Aviake Ramaswami. He

438
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,719
Speaker 1: was in town. He grew up in Cincinnati. He is

439
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: taking very seriously as he is running for governor the

440
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: crime situation in the city of Cincinnati. You, as mayor,

441
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: if you were mayor of Cincinnati and the governor, whether

442
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: it be Mike Dwine or Viake Ramaswami or god forbid

443
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: Amy acted, if the governor came to you as mayor

444
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati and said, look, we're going to offer you

445
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: some state resources to help you deal with the issues

446
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: you have here. Are you going to say that's great,

447
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: that's great, governor, But you know what, we only needed

448
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: a couple of days and months to day. You know,

449
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 1: we got things under control here. A couple of days

450
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: a month and we're good to go. Is that going

451
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 1: to be your policy if you become mayors.

452
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 6: Based on the current state of our city. Absolutely, Now

453
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 6: I would be taking in every bit of a package

454
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 6: from the state that was offered what I told people,

455
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 6: and people have been asking a lot because you're seeing

456
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 6: from a federal government perspective, you're seeing National Guard going

457
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 6: into major cities. This is last ditch effort. This is

458
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 6: like last case scenarios that you see in these cities,

459
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 6: because really what's happening is that the city halls of

460
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 6: these cities and even the states are not doing their

461
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 6: job to be able to make sure that the cities

462
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 6: are safe. I'm under the understanding from what I've talked

463
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 6: about with cops and what I've talked about with leaders,

464
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 6: is that the city is able to take care of

465
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 6: itself and the city is able to manage crime properly.

466
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 6: As long as you have proper administration, as long as

467
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 6: you have people that know what they're doing, they're going

468
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 6: to allow the cops to do their job. But that's

469
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 6: not what's happening right now. So a short term solution

470
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 6: right now, I truly believe, is accept every bit of

471
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 6: help from the state. That you can have a great

472
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 6: relationship with the state first and foremost, and that's something

473
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 6: that's not happening from city hall. We've become an island

474
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 6: under ourselves in Cincinnati. But we've got to be able

475
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 6: to work with the counting, We've got to be able

476
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 6: to work with the state, and we've got to be

477
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 6: able to work with the federal to be able to

478
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 6: make sure that Cincinnati is the statist that it can be.

479
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 6: And that's not what's happening right now.

480
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: On another issue, Channel nine WCPO put out earlier this

481
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 1: week a Iteam repor it about Iris Rowley, who is

482
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: a consultant with the City of Cincinnati. And I guess,

483
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,959
Speaker 1: you know, I guess the city needs consultants, outside contractors

484
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: and things like that. But this seems like a pretty

485
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: sweet deal, a three year deal that pays her about

486
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: five hundred and seventy thousand dollars through twenty twenty seven.

487
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: She can apparently do whatever she damn well pleases. She

488
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: can go out and pass out some literature out around

489
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: Government Square, hire her son to do this, pay him

490
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: fifty eight bucks an hour. I don't know about you,

491
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: Corey Bowman, but I know a lot of people out

492
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: there who would love to have a part time job

493
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: that pays about eleven hundred dollars a week for about

494
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: twelve weeks work. And you know, I guess it's pretty

495
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 1: good if your Irish Roly's son that you can do

496
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: this with no oversight and no direction from city Hall

497
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: at all. And then we have the city manager who

498
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: she's supposed to answer to. The I team says, we'd

499
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: like to ask you some questions, and the city manager says, no,

500
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm going to talk to you. So,

501
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: is is this the way to do business at city Hall?

502
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 1: They have consultants like this and just let them run

503
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 1: rough shot over everything that goes on at city Hall.

504
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 4: No, we'll see.

505
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 6: So the story that you're talking about right now, everybody

506
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 6: wants focused on the name of IRUs Rollie, and then

507
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 6: every other month you're hearing of another name, whether it

508
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 6: be a council member that makes comments toward violence that's

509
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 6: happening in our city, or whether it be certain things

510
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 6: that you're seeing from the city manager.

511
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 4: And here's what we.

512
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 6: Have to realize is that when the mayor is elected,

513
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 6: you have to basically appoint the CEO of the city,

514
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 6: the administrative leader of the city, which is a city manager,

515
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 6: and that's in charge of all the tasks that are

516
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 6: going on. And so then that city manager not only

517
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 6: is in charge of many different administrative tax in the city.

518
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 6: But then also they are to a point a police

519
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 6: chief and then the fire chief as well, and many

520
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 6: of the boards and committees and all sorts of stuff

521
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 6: that's going on here. But what's happened right now is

522
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 6: that the same individuals, the same people, most likely over

523
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 6: the course of twenty years, if you really look at it,

524
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 6: have been pulling the strings administratively in the city Manager's office,

525
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 6: in a lot of the halls of city Hall, and

526
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 6: then even in the administration of CFD and cpds, and

527
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 6: a lot of people that have the experience with the

528
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 6: police force are planted by the city to be a

529
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 6: chief of staff or the police chief or something like that.

530
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 6: So there's many individuals that are contributing to the mismanagement

531
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 6: of our city right now. And that's why our strong

532
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 6: leadership needs.

533
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 2: To be in.

534
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 6: You're not voting in a mayor that is basically just

535
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 6: going to be there for photo ops. We're going to

536
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 6: look through every single thing. We're going to make sure

537
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 6: that there is an extensive audit of how every dollar

538
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 6: is being spent in our city. We're going to make

539
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 6: sure that the proper people are in charge for city managers,

540
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 6: City Managers Office, the fire department, and the police chief.

541
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 6: And we got to make sure that our city is

542
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 6: run by people that have the citizens the Cincinnati at

543
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 6: the best interests of their hearts. And that's really not

544
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 6: what's happening right now.

545
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't seem like it. You know, I used

546
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: to cover city Hall. I've seen my share of dirty tricks.

547
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: I can look at this, this story that came out

548
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: I believe it was yesterday or the day before that,

549
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: the city announces that more than one hundred thousand residents

550
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: of City of Cincinnati are going to have their medical

551
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: debt relieved by some program that came out of that

552
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: came out of City Hall. One point four or five

553
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: million dollars two hundred and twenty million dollars in debt

554
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: relieve for one hundred and nineteen thousand individuals. And this

555
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: happens on, you know, about a week before early voting

556
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: is supposed to start. So they get a letter in

557
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,959
Speaker 1: the mail. There's aftabs picture on it. Hey, I'm relieving

558
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: your medical debt. What Merry Christmas. I mean, I don't

559
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: know about you, but just to me, this is reeks

560
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: of a of a political dirty trick.

561
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, because a lot of people are going to what

562
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 6: the other side is going to try to do is

563
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 6: they're going to try to spin it into making it

564
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 6: seem like we're not compassionate to those individuals that had

565
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 6: their debts relieve But you got to realize this that

566
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 6: the city put one point four five million dollars toward

567
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 6: a company and then through that with you see medicals,

568
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 6: they were able to relieve all that debt. A lot

569
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 6: of this debt, well, actually, I'll say that the majority,

570
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 6: it's not all of this debt was already written off

571
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 6: either by medicaid or written off as debt that just

572
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 6: wasn't going to get paid off, and so that was

573
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 6: debt that Hey, it's basically like you're paying for the

574
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 6: tip and you're taking credit for the entire bill. And

575
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 6: that's essentially what the city's doing. Not to mention that

576
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,959
Speaker 6: one point four to five million dollars this tax taxpayer

577
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 6: dollars that is being spent from the city budget. Now

578
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 6: I would rather not focus on necessarily the individuals that

579
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 6: are getting their debts cleared away, but the timing of everything.

580
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 6: Why didn't this take place two years ago? Why didn't

581
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 6: this take place even earlier in the year. Why is

582
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 6: it exactly, why is it happening just a week before

583
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 6: early voting starts, and why are these letters being sent out?

584
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 6: And we're hearing a lot of other stuff as well.

585
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 6: It's just part of the playbooks. But that's why it's

586
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 6: so important the race that we're running, that this is,

587
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 6: like you said earlier in your show, this is the

588
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 6: very definition of a grassroots effort of people waking up

589
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 6: realizing that we've got to get out and vote. We've

590
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 6: got to be able to make the numbers work in

591
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 6: our favor, and we got to put in leadership that

592
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 6: are actually fighting for us. Because the vote for an

593
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 6: elected official is not a blank check to do whatever

594
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 6: you want. A vote for an elected official is a

595
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 6: promise that you are always going to be able to

596
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 6: hear our voice, that we voted for you to be

597
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 6: in that office to do. And that's what I'm going

598
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 6: to see it as, is that I told the FOP

599
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 6: whenever they gave me the endorsement, and I've talked to

600
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 6: many other people when an endorsement or a vote for

601
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 6: me is a confidence I'm always going to listen to

602
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 6: your voice, and I'm always going to act in the

603
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 6: best interests of the people of the city.

604
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: Well, Corey Bauman, you're doing God's work. I don't need

605
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: to tell you that. I mean you're you're a pastor

606
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: as well, and keep up the great work. When we've

607
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: got about one minute here. When you go out and

608
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: you're out and knocking on doors and you're going to

609
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: events and you're meeting people, what's the number one thing

610
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: that you hear from people in the city of Cincinnati.

611
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: What's the number one thing that they want to talk

612
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: to you about.

613
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 6: You know what's funny, Dan, is that I talk to people,

614
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 6: whether it be in the high income of certain parts

615
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 6: of town or whether it be in the low income

616
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 6: of where our coffee shop in our church is in

617
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 6: the West End, and you think you get different answers,

618
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 6: But there are three common things that everybody cares about

619
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 6: in this city, and they don't feel like it's being

620
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 6: done properly. No matter what side of the aisle that

621
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 6: they're on, they care about Number one crime. You ask

622
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 6: a single mom in the West End that's living in

623
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 6: affordable housing, or you ask somebody that's living in a

624
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 6: gated community on the East Side, they are going to

625
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 6: tell you that the crime is out of control, and

626
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 6: that's from their personal experience, not just from the perception

627
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 6: of the news. Number Two, they care about the infrastructure.

628
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 6: They care about these potholes and the cracks in our

629
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 6: roads and the overwhelming disorganized maintenance of our city roads,

630
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 6: and even the landscaping and the cleanliness of our city.

631
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 6: And then number three, they care about where the money's going.

632
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 6: If you're telling us that you have a one point

633
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,919
Speaker 6: nine billion dollar budget for the city that's proposed next year,

634
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 6: where is the money going. Is it going into the

635
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 6: pockets of nonprofits in goos and contractors, or is it

636
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 6: going towards the city streets and going towards fighting crime

637
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 6: and making our children safe. And those are the three

638
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 6: issues that we're running on and we're going to make

639
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 6: it better starting in January twenty twenty six.

640
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: All Right, well, Corey Bowman, I appreciate the time. I

641
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: know you've you got to be unbelievably busy right now,

642
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: but it's always great to hear from you. Keep up

643
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: the great work and hopefully we'll talk a few more

644
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: times before election day gets here. And keep the faith, brother,

645
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: you're doing You're doing God's work and it looks the

646
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: people who vote in this city. We can't keep going

647
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,439
Speaker 1: down this road. We need to do something different, and

648
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: I think this is the guy to do it. But

649
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: Corey Bowman, thanks again, have a great night. We'll talk

650
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: to you again before too long.

651
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:47,879
Speaker 6: Hey, thank you, Dan, talk to you soon.

652
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 1: All right, there you go, Corey Bowman, Republican from Mayor.

653
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, I don't live in the city.

654
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: I don't vote in the city, but if I did,

655
00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: that's where it was good. That's where it would go.

656
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 1: Kevin Gordon is going to join me next day after

657
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:08,479
Speaker 1: the news top of the hour. He is he does

658
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:12,720
Speaker 1: the American struck In Network program that runs after this show.

659
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: And I found something that is just absolutely unbelievable as

660
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 1: it relates to trucking and illegals in this country, and

661
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: we're going to break that down after the news here

662
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: at the top of the hour. So sticking around for that.

663
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: Dan Carroll Thursday Night edition of the Midweek Crisis on

664
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:40,479
Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW seven WLW ten oh seven Dan Carroll

665
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: till midnight tonight. It is the Thursday night edition of

666
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: the Midweek Crisis. And I was getting ready for the

667
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 1: show A couple of days ago and I saw this

668
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: headline and it absolutely blew me away. And the headline

669
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,919
Speaker 1: is this no name given is a pretty common name

670
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: on commercial drivers licenses CDL. You drive a big rig,

671
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: you got to have a CDL license. And getting a

672
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: CDL license requires some training, requires that you know the

673
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 1: rules of the road. And now we have places like

674
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: the state of California and the State of New York

675
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: issuing driver's licenses to people who don't even give a name.

676
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: And I thought to myself, how in the world can

677
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: this even happen? So I reached out to my buddy,

678
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: Kevin Gordon, the main man behind America's truck in networking,

679
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 1: and Kevin Gordon, it's great to have you on the

680
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: show tonight.

681
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 8: How are you, Dan, Thank you for having me on.

682
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,240
Speaker 8: You know, this just shows that great minds think alike.

683
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 8: You know, you two you were saying two weeks or

684
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 8: two days ago, you were doing some show prep that

685
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 8: came across this story. Well, I was doing some show

686
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 8: prep over the weekend, not knowing what days we were

687
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 8: going to be on this week. Yeah, and I came

688
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 8: across a story by Sean Duffy talking about CDLs and

689
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 8: how they're issued and whatever. So I was I'm talking

690
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 8: about this later on tonight on America's Truck and Network.

691
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 8: So you and I are on the same page here.

692
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:12,760
Speaker 1: I mean, did this blow you away?

693
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 2: Though?

694
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: And look, we're not talking about We're not talking about

695
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 1: fake driver's licenses. I read through the whole story and

696
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: we're talking about driver's licenses issued by the State of

697
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: New York and the state. The state of the state says, well,

698
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 1: you know, in some countries people only have one name

699
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: or they didn't want to give us their name, but

700
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: we gave him the driver's license anyway, And I'm thinking

701
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: of myself, well, wait a minute, this is America. Shouldn't

702
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 1: we do things a little differently here in America? I

703
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: mean Kevin Gordon, Look, I used to work overnight news

704
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 1: with the truck and Bozone and me know Dale Summers,

705
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: I mean he was the original overnight truck and trucking guy.

706
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 1: Of some people want to claim differently, but I would

707
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: beg the difference. But anyway, yes, I mean, you know, look,

708
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: truckers are my people, and I used to listen to

709
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 1: the issues that they talked about at that time with

710
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: the truck and bozo. And one of the things they

711
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: talked about was that they they were not considered professionals

712
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: behind the wheel. You had all these imbeciles in Washington,

713
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: d C. Cranking up regulation after regulation after regulation with

714
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 1: absolutely no idea of what a professional truck driver goes

715
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 1: through on a daily or a nightly basis, and so

716
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: they were. You know, so many people in DC just

717
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 1: have this idea that anyone can get behind a big rig,

718
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: step on the gas, and away you go, and it's

719
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: no big deal. And this makes an absolute mockery of

720
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:49,240
Speaker 1: the professionalism that so many, the vast majority of truck

721
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: drivers try to exhibit every single day.

722
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,720
Speaker 8: Well, absolutely, and the fact that the state of California

723
00:39:56,239 --> 00:40:00,720
Speaker 8: will issue these driver's license Now you mentioned the monnem names,

724
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,760
Speaker 8: Well I look that up and there are very few

725
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 8: countries that use monoonymes, in other words, mononyms, which is

726
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 8: just a single name for a person. Now, if you

727
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 8: saw there was a Snopes article, which you can't believe

728
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 8: because Snopes is a bunch of liars, but the fact

729
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 8: checking on this said that these licenses were issued to

730
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:28,919
Speaker 8: people who had mononyms and then where the first name

731
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 8: is supposed to be, that's where they put no name,

732
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 8: so it's not a license issue. Okay, all right, it's

733
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 8: not issued to somebody with no name, but it's listed

734
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 8: to somebody who only has one name. And they there

735
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 8: aren't many cultures that do that. They are trying to

736
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 8: hide from something by doing that. Now, Sean Duffy when

737
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 8: he laid down the wall last week, he laid down

738
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 8: this emergency order on behalf of the dot saying that

739
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:01,280
Speaker 8: there needs to be a crackdown on these driver's license

740
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 8: that are given to non residential people, non people that

741
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 8: don't have green cards or people because what they were

742
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 8: finding is that people were getting issued a driver's license

743
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 8: a CDL in twenty twenty five when they're in their

744
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 8: work papers or work visa expired in twenty twenty one.

745
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 8: So part of having to have a driver's license or

746
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,760
Speaker 8: apply to that, you have to have a work permit

747
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 8: allowed to be working in the United States. So they

748
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 8: weren't even doing that step. And in this crackdown they

749
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 8: were talking about that in California, there are sixty thousand

750
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 8: truck drivers or CDL licenses that were issued for non

751
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:53,240
Speaker 8: domiciled people and of that search that they did, twenty

752
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 8: five percent were not valid, were done illegally, or had

753
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 8: something that would have flagged that they were the vision

754
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 8: that So, just in the state of California alone, from

755
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 8: what they looked at, fifteen thousand people are out on

756
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:10,919
Speaker 8: the road going cross country putting your life at risk,

757
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 8: my life at risk, that are driving without having the

758
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 8: necessary qualifications. And it's just incredible. You know, at the

759
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:21,280
Speaker 8: mass convention down there, to the Mid America Trucking Show.

760
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 8: Over the last couple of years, that's been one of

761
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 8: the driving forces. One of the big things that truckers

762
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 8: talked to me about down there is the fact that

763
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 8: the FMCSA Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, were not enforcing

764
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 8: the English language proficiency portion of the license. And that

765
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,320
Speaker 8: is exactly what happened with that accident down in Florida

766
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 8: where that hard gender sing tried to do that U

767
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 8: turn and wound up killing three people because he didn't

768
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 8: know how he couldn't read road signs, he couldn't speak English,

769
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 8: So how in the hell.

770
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 3: Did he get a driver's license?

771
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 1: That's sanity, Yeah, great question, because he was given a

772
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 1: test after that accident, and I think they asked him

773
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,919
Speaker 1: to identify what was twenty or twenty five different road

774
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: signs and he could only identify what what was two

775
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:15,439
Speaker 1: or three? I mean that is there's no way that guy.

776
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: And he's pleaed not guilty, by the way, but you

777
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: know the yeah, he's pleaded not guilty. But the governor

778
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 1: of Oklahoma, thank god, says he put this statement out.

779
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 1: He said, if New York wants to hand out CDLs

780
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 1: to illegal immigrants with no name given on them, the

781
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: moment they cross into Oklahoma, they answer to our laws.

782
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: Oklahoma Highway Patrol performed an enforcement action along I forty

783
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 1: apprehended one hundred and twenty five illegals, one hundred and

784
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: twenty five illegal immigrants. And that's on one enforcement action

785
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: on one highway in Oklahoma. So thank god, there's at

786
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 1: least one state out there that has taken this seriously.

787
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 1: Kevin Gordon. But I think about say says, Look, I

788
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:05,359
Speaker 1: mean getting getting a cd L and driving that that is,

789
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: if you ask me, that is a major accomplishment. That

790
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 1: that is something that that is not to be looked

791
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,919
Speaker 1: looked upon lightly. This is a serious thing.

792
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 8: But you saw how important, you saw how important the

793
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 8: truckers were back during COVID died.

794
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:23,879
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely.

795
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 8: If it didn't get on a truck, it wasn't on

796
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 8: your shelf.

797
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 2: And everybody's going, well, why.

798
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 8: Isn't there stuff on the on the shelves. Well, all

799
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 8: the trucks aren't rolling. Oh, you mean that this stuff

800
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 8: doesn't magically appear all of a sudden. Truckers were heroes

801
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 8: until the pandemic was over, and then all of a sudden.

802
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 2: It was back there business as usual. Yeah.

803
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I'm looking, I mean, I'm looking at the

804
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: you know, this one article that's got pictures of these

805
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: different driver's licenses, and then these are legit licenses from California,

806
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: from New York and it says right there, no name given,

807
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: no name given. How can I mean think, if you're

808
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 1: the person at the state agency and you have to

809
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 1: produce this license, are are you going to give a

810
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 1: license just as a matter of common sense? Are you

811
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 1: going to give a license to someone who doesn't want

812
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 1: to give you their name? How on God's earth can

813
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 1: you do something like that? And so, I mean, I mean,

814
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: you endanger every person on the road when you do

815
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 1: something like that, And I mean, this cannot this cannot

816
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:24,840
Speaker 1: continue to happen.

817
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 8: It can't and you know they have the requirements. Okay,

818
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 8: you have to pass the written test, you have to

819
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:38,720
Speaker 8: pass the training requirement, so which means that you had

820
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 8: to have some training ahead of time, either through a

821
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 8: trade school or you know, maybe co opting through a

822
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 8: trucking company that winds up training you. And then you

823
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 8: have to do a skills test. Then you have to

824
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 8: present that to a licensing bureau, give them that information.

825
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,839
Speaker 8: And if you are a non resident, you have to

826
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 8: then produce to them that you have a work permit

827
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,479
Speaker 8: or that you're here in this country legally, and if

828
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:08,240
Speaker 8: that has expired or if you're issue, if it hasn't

829
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 8: expired yet, you shouldn't be issuing them a license that

830
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 8: if their work visa expires in three months, that you

831
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 8: give them a license that's good for four years. That

832
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,760
Speaker 8: just makes common sense. And the fact that if somebody,

833
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 8: you know, you look at their permits, you look at

834
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 8: their paperwork, and I doubt seriously whether they had just

835
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 8: a single name on there.

836
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 6: I mean, even in.

837
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 8: The Arab countries you have some of these guys by

838
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 8: the name of so and so been such and such so.

839
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 8: In other words, if in the bin refers to the

840
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 8: father so if I was Arab, my name would be

841
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 8: Kevin ben Jack because that was my dad's name. So

842
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 8: everybody has a last name, or most people have a

843
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 8: last name, and the fact that there are so many

844
00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:00,160
Speaker 8: of these that don't that is highly suspicious.

845
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 1: Well, why can't we have state agencies or agencies that

846
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 1: issue driver's license Why can't we say, you know what,

847
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 1: go back until you can give us a name, don't

848
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 1: come here asking me if if it was my job,

849
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: I would say I would, and this has never happened before.

850
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,879
Speaker 1: I would say, no, you can't give me a name,

851
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 1: I can't give you a license. It doesn't it doesn't

852
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 1: seem like that far of a stretch to me.

853
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 8: And I don't know what you can't identify, If you

854
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 8: can't identify yourself, if you can't prove that you are

855
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 8: who you say you are, I don't think it makes

856
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:42,240
Speaker 8: sense to put them behind an eighty thousand pound vehicle

857
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 8: rocket and send them down the road, you know, and

858
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 8: then we have One of the things they've uncovered is

859
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:53,360
Speaker 8: that there was this SENS have charged six people in

860
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:57,880
Speaker 8: connection with a scam to fraudulently issue CDLs, So we

861
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 8: don't know in some of these case is there some

862
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:04,320
Speaker 8: of these states, New York, California, if the issuing agency,

863
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:08,320
Speaker 8: if somebody in that organization wasn't bribed by these people

864
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 8: or a group of people to get these licenses, because

865
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 8: they can falsify the skills test, they can falsify the

866
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 8: training requirement, they can counterfeit, uh, the documents for these

867
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 8: various skill tests and issue that if they're paid off.

868
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 8: So were these issues paid off? Were they? And there

869
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:32,839
Speaker 8: are some people, I mean, I guess if share went

870
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 8: out wanted to get a CDL, maybe she could get

871
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 8: by with having one name, or Madonna or somebody like that.

872
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:46,399
Speaker 8: But Liberachi, uh, you know, probably a CDL with one

873
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 8: name because he's more known by that. But for the

874
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 8: most part, everybody seems to have a last name. I

875
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 8: mean every one of these people that I mean, I mean, what's.

876
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 1: The was married to Sonny Bono. Her last name is Bona.

877
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:04,919
Speaker 1: I mean, but you go, I'm reading this piece about

878
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: when Sean Duffy signed the executive order early this year,

879
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: and Donald Trump's the one who put it out. And

880
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 1: so here's here's what the here's a little bit of

881
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:21,280
Speaker 1: history on this. M FMCSA regulations provide that a driver

882
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:25,800
Speaker 1: unable to sufficiently read or speak English or understand highway

883
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 1: traffic signs and signals is not qualified to operate a

884
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 1: commercial motor vehicle. However, in twenty sixteen, Kevin Gordon, the

885
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 1: Obama administration directed inspectors not to place CMB drivers out

886
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 1: of service for such violations. The failure toally enforced driver

887
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:50,839
Speaker 1: qualification standards pose a serious safety concerns and increases the

888
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 1: likelihood of a crash. So Donald Trump knew about this,

889
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 1: Sean Duffy knew about this, and thank god they took

890
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:02,240
Speaker 1: action to to reverse this Obama era policy.

891
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I got to question a little bit, I mean,

892
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,440
Speaker 8: just you know, to be fair here, that this was

893
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 8: put in the final days of the Obama administration in

894
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 8: twenty sixteen, So twenty seventeen, eighteen nineteen, during the first

895
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 8: Trump term, somebody at the Department of Transportation or somebody

896
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:24,760
Speaker 8: of the FMCSA, unless they were holdovers from the Obama

897
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 8: not the Secretary, but at least the administers of the

898
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 8: FMCSA CMA Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Administration CMVSA, if they

899
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:37,759
Speaker 8: were holdover overs, maybe they weren't enforcing this, but the

900
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 8: directive had already gone out, so a lot of these

901
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 8: agencies probably weren't enforcing it because of that. And you know,

902
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 8: you can't know everything, but the fact that this was

903
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 8: still on the books and that they weren't somebody should

904
00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 8: have blown the whistle on this and gotten this fix

905
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 8: a lot faster.

906
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: As I recall it, twenty sixteen, Trump had a pretty

907
00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 1: full plate trying to try to tell the truth about

908
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:02,359
Speaker 1: the rush.

909
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:02,879
Speaker 4: The rush.

910
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:07,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that way, that's let's look up an affair amount

911
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 1: of time in this country, Kevin Gordon, let me ask

912
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 1: you about something else before I let you go. Uh,

913
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 1: there's a there's a survey that is out today talking

914
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 1: about trust and American media, and it finds that trust

915
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 1: in media is at its lowest level in more than

916
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:29,240
Speaker 1: fifty years. So, Kevin Gordon, you and I have been around.

917
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 1: You maybe do a little bit longer than me, but

918
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:33,839
Speaker 1: I can remember fifty years ago. That takes us back

919
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:36,799
Speaker 1: into the nineteen seventies, and I would I remember as

920
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 1: a little kid. Uh, And I think this is where

921
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 1: my love for news came from. Is I used to

922
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 1: visit my grandparents and they had one of those giant TVs,

923
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:48,480
Speaker 1: you know, the giant console TVs and uh, and my

924
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: my grandfather would watch Walter conkright on the on the

925
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: news every night. And so I sat there watching Walter conkrite,

926
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:57,880
Speaker 1: and and you know what his approval reading was what

927
00:51:57,960 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 1: probably in the ninety percent time.

928
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 8: But we'll talk about him being most trusted.

929
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Well, I.

930
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 8: Was raised a very conservative woman and dad. But she

931
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:18,839
Speaker 8: would sit there and point out the adjectives that were

932
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 8: used and read between the lines of stuff that wasn't

933
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:26,760
Speaker 8: being covered because she subscribed to that newspaper, Human Events,

934
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:30,839
Speaker 8: the Wanderer, and some of these conservative publications, and she say,

935
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 8: what he's not saying here is this. Listen to this

936
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 8: adjective how he described. That's where you started getting this

937
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 8: stuff about so and so a conservative commentator. And then

938
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 8: when you're talking about a liberal, it's just their name

939
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 8: and they're a commentator, no description there. So even he

940
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 8: I mean, most of the part, but yeah, there were

941
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,320
Speaker 8: some times when I could tell some of the stuff

942
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 8: that would creep in that were a little bit bubble

943
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,879
Speaker 8: or two left of center. So but yeah, you're right,

944
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:03,439
Speaker 8: was very well respected and it's gone downhill since then.

945
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 8: And what we've seen basically as a result of the

946
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:10,439
Speaker 8: Biden cover up with I'm sorry with the auto Pen

947
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:14,439
Speaker 8: cover up the President auto Pen that the spoon fed

948
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 8: regurgitators in the mainstream media have been basically spoon fed

949
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 8: this news and handled handed this information by the administration

950
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:26,839
Speaker 8: and then they just regurgitated to the American public. And

951
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 8: so the trust there, I mean, they are a propaganda

952
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 8: arm and have been a propaganda arm of the DNC

953
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:36,280
Speaker 8: for decades now, and people are more and more finding

954
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 8: about and that came, I mean as obvious by you know,

955
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 8: we're seeing the cheat sheets that Biden had call on

956
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:45,719
Speaker 8: this reporter and then he has the question in front

957
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 8: of him that the reporter is going to ask. I mean,

958
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 8: that is collusion right there. You can't trust the media

959
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 8: that does that. And then you've got the media that

960
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 8: covered for Biden, I'm sorry for President auto Pen, and

961
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 8: you know, so you know, they knew what was going on,

962
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 8: and then all of a sudden Trump comes into office

963
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,400
Speaker 8: and all of a sudden people are going, gee, you know,

964
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 8: we thought there was a little something off, but we

965
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 8: just couldn't quite put our finger on it. So, yeah,

966
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 8: you're right, the trust in the media is is way.

967
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 1: Down there, all right, Kevin Gordon. We got a run.

968
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 1: But are we going to hear ATN tonight after I'm

969
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:23,680

Speaker 1: the Reds and the Bengals. And yeah, the Bengals too,

974
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:37,400
Speaker 1: I forgot about that. They did. They have a Monday

00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:45,919
Speaker 2: We're going to do this more often.

980
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, Whenever there's a big trucking issue, we're going

981

Speaker 1: There you go, Kevin Gordon from ATN ten twenty five

986

Speaker 1: on seven hundred WW All right, here we go, seven

987
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:11,880
Speaker 1: hundred WLW ten thirty seven. It is the Thursday night

988
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 1: edition of the Midweek Crisis. I'm Dan Carroll, glad to

989
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:17,440
Speaker 1: be here, glad you are here as well, and always

990
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,240
Speaker 1: glad to welcome in this guy from the Conservative Caucus.

991
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 1: My buddy, Jim Faff, have you gotten over the the

992
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:30,919
Speaker 1: the dismissal of the Reds from the from the first

993
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:33,080
Speaker 1: playoff appearance since nineteen ninety five.

994
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:37,960
Speaker 5: I think it was I am just I'm down. I'm down,

995
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 5: and as I as I told you privately, I mean,

996
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:43,959
Speaker 5: this is such a talented, capable team just at the core.

997
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:46,720
Speaker 4: You know, we just got to get over the hump.

998
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 5: And I mean we should be in at least in

999
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 5: the you know, National League Championship Series every year right now,

1000
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 5: and it's not getting to the World Series.

1001
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:01,400
Speaker 4: But you know, it's just it's a bummer.

1002
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:05,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's always next year. Were Reds fans, you know,

1003
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 5: we kind of we pop up in the seventies, pop

1004
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 5: up in the early nineties, and then we have to

1005
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:11,720
Speaker 5: wait again, you know how it goes.

1006
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:16,959
Speaker 1: Well. Ager said something the other day. He said, he said, look,

1007
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:19,279
Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily saying the Reds are going to win

1008
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:22,319
Speaker 1: a championship this year, but he said, I hope it's

1009
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:27,879
Speaker 1: the start of with regularity, this team getting into the postseason.

1010
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,359
Speaker 1: And so I'm kind of hanging my hat on that.

1011
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:31,839
Speaker 1: I think that's a good way to look at it.

1012
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 4: I still I think I agree with you.

1013
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 5: And whenever I am at a time like this, I

1014
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 5: always remember coming down from the red seats many years ago,

1015
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:47,759
Speaker 5: standing at the looking down the third base line and

1016
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 5: watching Eric Davison a walk off Homer. That's the thing

1017
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 5: that I always remember.

1018
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 1: How about Eric the red Man. I mean, you bring

1019
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 1: back some you have some great memories, Jim, I swear

1020
00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:00,359
Speaker 1: to God. All right, So let's uh, let's talk about

1021
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:02,440
Speaker 1: the issue at hand. Every time I listen to the

1022
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 1: news today, Top of the Hour, Bottom of the Hour, ABC, NBC,

1023
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:11,279
Speaker 1: government shutdown, government shutdown, government shutdown? Does the government ever

1024
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:13,919
Speaker 1: really shut down? I mean does it I mean there's

1025
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 1: you know, there's there's a few things that are closed,

1026
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 1: but I mean, really there's Does it really ever shut down?

1027
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 1: Is it possible?

1028
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 2: Is that?

1029
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 4: Well?

1030
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:27,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it doesn't in one sense and not

1031
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:32,160
Speaker 5: in another. So really, everything that really matters in government

1032
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:35,440
Speaker 5: that actually needs to be done never shuts down, that

1033
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:38,920
Speaker 5: never goes away. But the other side of it is

1034
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 5: you have federal employees that go on furlough and in

1035
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:49,000
Speaker 5: almost every case, they're sitting at home just waiting for

1036
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 5: this to all be over, and they're still going to

1037
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 5: get the paycheck when they're not working. So you know,

1038
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 5: there are people who don't come into the office. There

1039
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 5: is are things to shut down, but it's all of

1040
00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:00,280
Speaker 5: the areas that we don't even need to be doing

1041
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:03,800
Speaker 5: in government anyway. And uh, you know, because social Security

1042
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 5: checks go out, which you know, listen, I don't know

1043
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 5: how we get rid of Social Security, but it's an

1044
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 5: unconstitutional program. But those checks go out, Medicare payments and

1045
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:18,040
Speaker 5: processing happens, Medicaid happens because it's happening at the state

1046
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 5: level mostly, so you know, it's it's it's just it's

1047
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 5: other than those things the military, the judicial system and

1048
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 5: various things they keep going on, and those are really

1049
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 5: about the only things.

1050
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 4: We need anyone.

1051
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:37,040
Speaker 5: But it's really sad because the furlough thing, you know,

1052
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 5: these people.

1053
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 4: Sit at home and then get paid.

1054
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 5: I had to go in the office every day when

1055
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 5: I when I was on Capitol Hill, and I wasn't

1056
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 5: ostensibly getting paid, but then again I ended up getting paid,

1057
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:50,720
Speaker 5: but I was working. The federal employees don't do that,

1058
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 5: So it's it's it's both sides.

1059
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you would have you would have done it for

1060
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 1: free if you had to, because you just love.

1061
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 5: You love wonderful working in Congress.

1062
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 1: Not you love the work, but you know, I mean,

1063
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:09,680
Speaker 1: you're really it's almost a necessity to understand what the

1064
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 1: you know, what the syntax is here that's being used

1065
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 1: when you talk about the way that the Democrats are

1066
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 1: trying to frame the issue, and I think the Republicans

1067
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 1: are making it pretty simple. You know, the big beautiful

1068
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 1: Bill Trump cut out the idea that anyone who's in

1069
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:31,920
Speaker 1: the country illegally is going to get free health care benefits,

1070
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:37,000
Speaker 1: and essentially the Democrats, through a trick of the language,

1071
00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:40,920
Speaker 1: are trying to reinstate that at the cost of about

1072
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 1: what one point five to two trillion dollars for what

1073
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 1: seven weeks or seven months or hover long? This continuing

1074
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:53,440
Speaker 1: resolution is so the thing is, you know, Jim, I

1075
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:58,720
Speaker 1: look back, and there was a time when Democrats were

1076
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 1: fully on board with the idea of illegals not getting healthcare,

1077
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 1: and chief among them, I want to play a sound

1078
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 1: by here and tell me if you recognize this voice

1079
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:11,920
Speaker 1: from the past, well really not from the past, but

1080
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 1: a younger version of a voice that we hear these days.

1081
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 1: And Joe, let's hear cut number five as to illegal aliens.

1082
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:23,440
Speaker 9: We agree with you that we do not think the

1083
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 9: comprehensive healthcare benefits should be extended to those who are

1084
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 9: undocumented workers and illegal aliens. We do not want to

1085
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:34,720
Speaker 9: do anything to encourage more illegal immigration into this country.

1086
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 9: We know now that too many people come in for

1087
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 9: medical care as it is. We certainly don't want them

1088
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:44,800
Speaker 9: having the same benefits that American citizens are entitled to

1089
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 9: have as to illegal aliens.

1090
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 5: Jim So Jim, who was that, Well, first of all,

1091
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:53,400
Speaker 5: she didn't know how to use email at the time

1092
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 5: and figured it out how to do it illegally later obviously,

1093
01:00:57,240 --> 01:01:01,200
Speaker 5: Hillary Clinton, Well.

1094
01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:03,920
Speaker 1: I think what like nineteen ninety two or something like that,

1095
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 1: in early nineties, Yeah, what changed? What changed? Because that's

1096
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 1: that sounds like, you know, far right wing conspiracy policy

1097
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 1: to me. Right, you know, it is what the left

1098
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 1: would have you believe.

1099
01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:21,160
Speaker 5: Now, well, the difference is this, and it's just it's

1100
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:22,680
Speaker 5: a mere political calculation.

1101
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:23,920
Speaker 2: This is this is.

1102
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:25,440
Speaker 4: How fungible anything that.

1103
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:29,160
Speaker 5: Democrats say is so Back then in the nineties they're

1104
01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 5: concerned about immigration, was that the immigrant illegal immigrants would

1105
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 5: take jobs away from union workers.

1106
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 4: So they were standing up for the unions. That's where

1107
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 4: the Union stood.

1108
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 5: Fast forward almost thirty years later, and suddenly all these

1109
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 5: illegals are potential voters for them, and many of them

1110
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 5: are voting. We know that it's happening. The other thing

1111
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 5: is they change the census calculations, which which Barack Obama instituted.

1112
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:01,920
Speaker 5: That helps them to get more seats in Congress than

1113
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,480
Speaker 5: they deserve, and we're trying to fix that right now.

1114
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 5: So it's nearly the grabbing for power. That's all that

1115
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:10,760
Speaker 5: it is.

1116
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:11,920
Speaker 4: With these Democrats.

1117
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 5: Democrats are about hour and authority. They're not about the

1118
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:17,880
Speaker 5: American ideal, which is why I'm saying all the time

1119
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:21,680
Speaker 5: right now that the Democrat Party is not an American party.

1120
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:22,440
Speaker 4: It is not.

1121
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:26,360
Speaker 5: Every bit of our problems in this country has its

1122
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:32,880
Speaker 5: origin in Democrat politics and on the margins sometimes the

1123
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 5: weakness of Republicans not going back against it. But that

1124
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 5: calculus is changing in this Trump administration because you have

1125
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:44,920
Speaker 5: new leaders in each of the houses, new Republican leaders

1126
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 5: in each of the houses who are acting differently than

1127
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 5: the Paul Ryans and the John Bahinners and the Mitch

1128
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:55,600
Speaker 5: McConnell's of the world. And they're being led by Donald Trump,

1129
01:02:55,640 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 5: which is really the real force behind this where finally

1130
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 5: we're out of place where we take a strong stand

1131
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:05,640
Speaker 5: and people aren't going to back down or not likely to.

1132
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 5: So it's kind of a new day on Capitol Hill,

1133
01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 5: much different than what I experienced when I was working.

1134
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 1: With Yeah, but it's amazing to me how many mainstream

1135
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:19,280
Speaker 1: Democrats are getting on board with Zorhan Mandani. Or in

1136
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:21,840
Speaker 1: New York City, he was on the View a day

1137
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 1: or so ago and Joy Behar asked him if he

1138
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:27,880
Speaker 1: was a communist, and he said, oh, I'm not a communist.

1139
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 1: I'm a Democrat socialist because because he said, you know,

1140
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 1: you know, we believe in dignity for every human being. Jim,

1141
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 1: can you explain to me how living under a socialist

1142
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 1: system promotes human dignity? Where where you know, under the

1143
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:47,840
Speaker 1: ideas of Mandami, if you if you're able to earn

1144
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:51,760
Speaker 1: a decent living, then his socialist government wants to come

1145
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:54,160
Speaker 1: and take more than half of what you earn. And

1146
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:57,200
Speaker 1: then the you know, there the there's another whole class

1147
01:03:57,200 --> 01:04:02,680
Speaker 1: of people to which will be dependent upon the government.

1148
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:07,640
Speaker 1: Where's the human dignity in any of that that Mondnad

1149
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 1: likes to talk about.

1150
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 5: Well, they can make it seem like, or at least

1151
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 5: up to this point, have been able to make it

1152
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:19,320
Speaker 5: seem like it's human dignity because of this idea of equity,

1153
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:25,920
Speaker 5: where you equalize outcomes, which is a message it's easy

1154
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 5: to throw out there in a world where things are

1155
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:31,760
Speaker 5: not perfect, someone or some group of people have lost

1156
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 5: their jobs, or they're having some temporary financial setbacks that

1157
01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:38,960
Speaker 5: might be caused by something in the economy. Of course,

1158
01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 5: government destroys the economy through the Federal Reserve and inflation,

1159
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 5: and so that helps enhance the message. That's why Democrats

1160
01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:49,080
Speaker 5: do like the Federal Reserve.

1161
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:51,920
Speaker 4: And the way it acts. But what it really is,

1162
01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:52,200
Speaker 4: it's a.

1163
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:56,600
Speaker 5: Utopian ideal that there is somehow a way, if we

1164
01:04:57,000 --> 01:04:58,520
Speaker 5: just get enough power.

1165
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:01,640
Speaker 4: In government and central things in government.

1166
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 5: Enough that that's going to end up allowing all of

1167
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 5: us to live wonderfully. The reality is that's never worked.

1168
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:12,920
Speaker 5: Every utopian idealistic idea related to government of any form

1169
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:19,040
Speaker 5: throughout world history has always failed miserably. Every time that

1170
01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:22,480
Speaker 5: someone else says that they're going to come in and

1171
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 5: order society for us in a certain way, it never works.

1172
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:30,520
Speaker 5: I mean, it's happened everywhere. What has been unique about

1173
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:36,240
Speaker 5: the American experiment is from our founding, the idea was, no,

1174
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:40,560
Speaker 5: you cannot have a utopian lifestyle. Yes, there are going

1175
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:44,000
Speaker 5: to be ups and downs in life, but you get

1176
01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 5: to the side how you're going to react to that.

1177
01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:51,280
Speaker 5: You get the power to do that by yourselves, and

1178
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 5: therefore you can secure how your life runs so that

1179
01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:59,520
Speaker 5: you can get all the benefits of the good decisions

1180
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 5: you make, and the fear of God can be in

1181
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:06,040
Speaker 5: you for making bad decisions, because you're going to reap

1182
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 5: the benefits or the disbenefits of your bad decisions. I

1183
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:15,240
Speaker 5: mean this idea of popular sovereignty, the idea that the

1184
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 5: people are the kings of the country, which is stated

1185
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 5: clearly in the beginning of our constitution.

1186
01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:25,120
Speaker 4: We the people in order to form a more perfect union.

1187
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:29,920
Speaker 5: That ideal works and when you allow it to happen,

1188
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:33,280
Speaker 5: it works best. And we are on the back end

1189
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 5: of a one hundred year experiment of progressivism, which is

1190
01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:42,280
Speaker 5: just the beginning ideas of socialism and communism that democrats

1191
01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:46,000
Speaker 5: have since Wodrow Wilson have been eking into our system

1192
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:51,320
Speaker 5: through FBR and LBJ and Obama, and all those negative

1193
01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:54,680
Speaker 5: things are coming to roost right now, which is why

1194
01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:58,400
Speaker 5: Donald Trump was able to get elected, and it's why, frankly,

1195
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 5: even through all the missmash of what's happening in Washington,

1196
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:04,840
Speaker 5: d C. His poll numbers are still up because he's

1197
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:06,680
Speaker 5: got the right ideal, and I think we have a

1198
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:09,760
Speaker 5: chance that the American people are starting to see, Yeah,

1199
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:12,640
Speaker 5: we got to take a different direction because these Democrats

1200
01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 5: don't know what they're doing.

1201
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:14,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1202
01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:18,000
Speaker 1: Have you picked up your copy of the Kamala Harris

1203
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:20,600
Speaker 1: book yet one hundred and seven days?

1204
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:30,080
Speaker 10: No, but I am, But I am actually really enjoying

1205
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:36,440
Speaker 10: the stand up comedy and freak show of all of

1206
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:40,560
Speaker 10: her interviews and the reminder I'm glad for the reminder

1207
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:42,000
Speaker 10: that everyone's getting.

1208
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:44,640
Speaker 5: About how we really dodged a bullet last November.

1209
01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 1: I think I think when when I look at her

1210
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:50,680
Speaker 1: and I see her on this book tour that she's

1211
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:54,280
Speaker 1: doing and the interviews that she's doing, I think she

1212
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:59,720
Speaker 1: thinks that she's really forging a foundation for another presidential run.

1213
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:05,480
Speaker 1: I really think she has put that thought in her

1214
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:10,440
Speaker 1: mind and she's and she's living on that. Are you

1215
01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:11,800
Speaker 1: seeing the same thing I'm saying.

1216
01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:16,680
Speaker 5: No, I agree with your assessment and what's interesting is

1217
01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:20,760
Speaker 5: it just re emphasizes how much of a bubble this

1218
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:23,639
Speaker 5: woman has lived in. You know, it's kind of funny.

1219
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:26,040
Speaker 5: I really wonder how she got a law degree. She

1220
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:29,040
Speaker 5: has had to be a dei thing on her part

1221
01:08:29,240 --> 01:08:33,400
Speaker 5: because she's not very smart. She doesn't even show like

1222
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:36,880
Speaker 5: like your standard lawyer, even if they're evil, know how

1223
01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:42,479
Speaker 5: to utilize language and twists of logic or ill logic

1224
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 5: to try to, you know, impress people enough to do

1225
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 5: what they want to happen, and you know they can

1226
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:51,720
Speaker 5: hit it from time to time. She doesn't even have

1227
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:55,680
Speaker 5: that skill. So she's lived in this bubble. But it's

1228
01:08:55,920 --> 01:09:01,920
Speaker 5: what's even more important is that she has is continuing

1229
01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:11,080
Speaker 5: the I don't know, the the absurd freaking uh incompetent

1230
01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:15,600
Speaker 5: responses to every question that she gets. The excerpts of

1231
01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 5: the books that I've seen fall really show that she

1232
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:21,080
Speaker 5: has no clue.

1233
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 4: What happened last year.

1234
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:28,240
Speaker 5: She just really has no idea at all. And although

1235
01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:30,240
Speaker 5: I think in her course, she knows.

1236
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:32,839
Speaker 3: That she failed this thing and has.

1237
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:36,520
Speaker 5: Some degree of embarrassment about having had two billion dollars

1238
01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 5: and and I don't know, more than twice the amount

1239
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:42,160
Speaker 5: of money that Donald Trump hadn't still.

1240
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:46,519
Speaker 1: Lost wasted a billion dollars, and she was, you know,

1241
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 1: I read one excerpt from her book where she talks

1242
01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:53,759
Speaker 1: about how I guess it was the night of the debate,

1243
01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:57,439
Speaker 1: or before the debate. Her people booked her for a

1244
01:09:57,520 --> 01:10:01,040
Speaker 1: podcast with this doctor, and so she had to go

1245
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:03,559
Speaker 1: on this Heaven forbid, she had to go on a

1246
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:08,240
Speaker 1: podcast unprepared, didn't get her briefing before she went onto

1247
01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:10,479
Speaker 1: the platform. Jim, how how much of a briefing do

1248
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:12,280
Speaker 1: you have before you come on on my show on

1249
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:16,080
Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW. Do you have a whole team of

1250
01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:18,720
Speaker 1: people write down, you know, a possible question, you know,

1251
01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 1: Dan might ask you about this. You got to prepared

1252
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:24,559
Speaker 1: to talk about that, And so she writes, she writes

1253
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:27,160
Speaker 1: in the book, the doctor comes on and says, Hey,

1254
01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:29,280
Speaker 1: we're going to talk with the Vice President of the

1255
01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:32,120
Speaker 1: United States today, and I'm going to ask her about healthcare,

1256
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:34,719
Speaker 1: and I'm going to ask her about women's issues, which

1257
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:38,519
Speaker 1: means abortion. Uh, you know, she and it was it

1258
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:42,400
Speaker 1: was five or six boilerplate things. She had been vice

1259
01:10:42,439 --> 01:10:45,080
Speaker 1: president of the United States for four years at that point,

1260
01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:50,920
Speaker 1: and she and she was freaking out because she couldn't

1261
01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:54,439
Speaker 1: handle these these simple questions. And this was a friendly interview.

1262
01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:57,360
Speaker 1: And and then and she and she goes on to

1263
01:10:57,400 --> 01:11:00,840
Speaker 1: talk about how difficult it is because these people that

1264
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:03,280
Speaker 1: and she gave this, she read them the riot that boy,

1265
01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:05,519
Speaker 1: I mean, she let them, you know, these people that

1266
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:09,439
Speaker 1: are working for her. I don't know if she if

1267
01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 1: she reads that and thinks that makes her look good,

1268
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:13,960
Speaker 1: it makes her look like an imbecile.

1269
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:19,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, without a doubt.

1270
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:23,439
Speaker 5: Listen, both and speaking both of you, like both you

1271
01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:26,320
Speaker 5: and I, we can we can speak off the cuff

1272
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:30,960
Speaker 5: and be ready to go on something quickly because we're like, these.

1273
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:32,639
Speaker 4: Things are running through her mind. I mean, the most

1274
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:33,240
Speaker 4: we have to.

1275
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:36,800
Speaker 5: Do on our own is just verify some facts, double

1276
01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:40,280
Speaker 5: check what's really going on. I mean, it doesn't take

1277
01:11:40,320 --> 01:11:42,799
Speaker 5: a lot of time at all. If you're not capable

1278
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:44,760
Speaker 5: of doing that. Now, one advantage that both you and

1279
01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:47,080
Speaker 5: I have. You know, I spent four years doing a

1280
01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:50,679
Speaker 5: daily radio show in Denver, so you know there's something

1281
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:53,439
Speaker 5: to that that that might bring something there. But that's

1282
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:58,360
Speaker 5: what politicians have. If you're doing politics, then you're having

1283
01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:02,040
Speaker 5: to be able to speak quickly on subjects that you

1284
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:05,639
Speaker 5: should at least have some knowledge about this just kind

1285
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:08,080
Speaker 5: of re emphasizes to me what I've said quite a

1286
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:10,479
Speaker 5: bit I probably said on your show from time to time,

1287
01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:13,759
Speaker 5: is that it scares me the people that we elect

1288
01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 5: to Congress. I mean, she's not the only one.

1289
01:12:16,800 --> 01:12:18,040
Speaker 4: I've been around.

1290
01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:21,240
Speaker 5: These people, and I'm telling you, well, more than half

1291
01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:24,719
Speaker 5: of them scare me to death. There's about forty percent

1292
01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:25,360
Speaker 5: on either.

1293
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:26,599
Speaker 2: Side of the aisle who.

1294
01:12:26,439 --> 01:12:29,519
Speaker 5: I think have competence and skill to at least address

1295
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:32,200
Speaker 5: issues and think through what's going on. Even if they

1296
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:34,200
Speaker 5: make the wrong decision, they thought through it and spent

1297
01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:36,600
Speaker 5: some time on it. The rest of them are just

1298
01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:40,679
Speaker 5: showing up, and they like the prestige of being able

1299
01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:43,680
Speaker 5: to wear that button on their lapel so that they

1300
01:12:43,680 --> 01:12:47,679
Speaker 5: can get around all of the metal detectors really easily

1301
01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:49,920
Speaker 5: on Capitol Hill. And I've seen the city a time

1302
01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:52,960
Speaker 5: at the time, you know, they love the prestige. And

1303
01:12:53,320 --> 01:12:55,719
Speaker 5: you know, I worked for Thomas Matthew. Thomas always called

1304
01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:59,040
Speaker 5: that button my preshest you know, speaking.

1305
01:12:58,680 --> 01:13:00,559
Speaker 4: Of Gullam and Lord the Rings.

1306
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:04,440
Speaker 5: You know, once you put that on, it suddenly immorphs

1307
01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:07,439
Speaker 5: you into something else. And she but she's even worse

1308
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:10,360
Speaker 5: than that, and it's really scary when you think that

1309
01:13:10,479 --> 01:13:12,280
Speaker 5: she might have become president.

1310
01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:16,639
Speaker 1: Man, we dodged literally dodged a dodged a bullet there.

1311
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:20,000
Speaker 1: Jim Fath as always, buddy, great having you on. Conservative

1326
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:12,080
Speaker 1: You go in to get a commercial driver's license, gonna

1327
01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:16,400
Speaker 1: drive a big rig. And let's say that you're the

1328
01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:22,080
Speaker 1: person who is working there. It's your job to distribute

1329
01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:27,920
Speaker 1: these licenses. You got to see some paperwork. Don't you

1330
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:29,640
Speaker 1: got to put a name on the license. What is

1331
01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:30,000
Speaker 1: your name?

1332
01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:30,240
Speaker 8: Sir?

1333
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:34,680
Speaker 1: I can't give you my name. Are you gonna go

1334
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:40,280
Speaker 1: ahead and give that person a license to drive a

1335
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:47,800
Speaker 1: big rig? Who does that? Okay? No, no, no name.

1336
01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:51,160
Speaker 1: I'll just put no name given. We have no idea

1337
01:14:51,160 --> 01:14:54,360
Speaker 1: who this guy is, but by god, he can go

1338
01:14:54,400 --> 01:14:58,200
Speaker 1: out there and earn a living driving his eighteen wheeler.

1339
01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:07,439
Speaker 1: If you have no name given on a driver's license,

1340
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:12,720
Speaker 1: who does the company make out their paychecks to you?

1341
01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:14,640
Speaker 1: Drive a truck? I know, I know a lot of

1342
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:16,760
Speaker 1: guys in the trucking business who have made a lot

1343
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:20,719
Speaker 1: of money. I got a buddy who's in town right now,

1344
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:27,719
Speaker 1: drives a drives a big ring, delivers attractors and farm equipment,

1345
01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:33,320
Speaker 1: machinery and stuff like that. If you if you can't

1346
01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:36,639
Speaker 1: give a name for your driver's license, who do they

1347
01:15:36,720 --> 01:15:40,760
Speaker 1: Who do they make the checkout? I mean, do you

1348
01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:45,800
Speaker 1: walk into a bank with your paycheck? And I guess

1349
01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:50,800
Speaker 1: most of it's dirrect deposit these days, so.

1350
01:15:50,760 --> 01:15:51,240
Speaker 2: They just.

1351
01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:55,599
Speaker 1: Put it to a send it to a routing number

1352
01:15:55,640 --> 01:15:59,919
Speaker 1: and a bank account, I guess. But if you actually

1353
01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:02,320
Speaker 1: and I know that there's some there's some people who

1354
01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:09,160
Speaker 1: still get regular paychecks. Take them to the bank. And

1355
01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:12,360
Speaker 1: if you're at the bank and the you know, it

1356
01:16:12,400 --> 01:16:16,840
Speaker 1: says pay to the order of no name given. How

1357
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:17,400
Speaker 1: do you?

1358
01:16:17,479 --> 01:16:18,120
Speaker 2: How do you?

1359
01:16:19,760 --> 01:16:25,000
Speaker 1: How do you process that? I don't know? Five, one, three, seven, nine,

1360
01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:29,280
Speaker 1: the big one. Uh, let's see, Joe, let's get cut

1361
01:16:29,360 --> 01:16:32,919
Speaker 1: number cut, number eight, ready to go. Earlier this week,

1362
01:16:33,880 --> 01:16:36,720
Speaker 1: I was on the air when this happened, and you

1363
01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:39,960
Speaker 1: had Pete hag Seth and Donald Trump. They uh, you know,

1364
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:42,080
Speaker 1: it's big. There was big mystery there for a couple

1365
01:16:42,120 --> 01:16:45,479
Speaker 1: of days because they called all the top commanders, all

1366
01:16:45,560 --> 01:16:50,120
Speaker 1: the top military billets to show up at Quantico and

1367
01:16:50,240 --> 01:16:53,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a little talking to And everyone was like,

1368
01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:58,120
Speaker 1: oh my god. You know, Trump's gonna consolidate his power.

1369
01:16:58,240 --> 01:17:00,680
Speaker 1: Is gonna make sure they pledge allegiance to him. If not,

1370
01:17:00,680 --> 01:17:03,040
Speaker 1: they're going to get fired. All this crazy stuff's going

1371
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:07,080
Speaker 1: and so what do they do. They put it on TV.

1372
01:17:09,479 --> 01:17:12,479
Speaker 1: Pete hegg Set's speech was on TV. The Trumpster was

1373
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:14,559
Speaker 1: on TV talked for I don't know about an hour

1374
01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:18,360
Speaker 1: and a half. I had it on the studio here.

1375
01:17:18,360 --> 01:17:19,760
Speaker 1: I was on the air at that time, so I

1376
01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:23,360
Speaker 1: could I couldn't listen to what was being said. But

1377
01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:28,040
Speaker 1: afterwards I saw all these folks on the left very

1378
01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:32,840
Speaker 1: upset with Pete Heg Seth because he said something about fitness.

1379
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:39,559
Speaker 1: He said something about military people being in shape, and

1380
01:17:39,640 --> 01:17:41,800
Speaker 1: maybe you're like me, and you didn't get to hear it.

1381
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:45,040
Speaker 1: And so I found the SoundBite of what he said

1382
01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:47,920
Speaker 1: that got so many people upset. And if you listen

1383
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:53,559
Speaker 1: to this now, you tell me what's what's so bad

1384
01:17:53,600 --> 01:17:59,240
Speaker 1: about this? What is so upsetting that this is what

1385
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:02,519
Speaker 1: Pete Hegg said. I said to the top members of

1386
01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:06,800
Speaker 1: the military. And with that, Joe, let's hear cut number eight.

1387
01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:09,679
Speaker 1: Please with physical fitness and appearance.

1388
01:18:10,720 --> 01:18:13,679
Speaker 11: If the Secretary of War can do regular hard pt,

1389
01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:16,679
Speaker 11: so can every member of our joint force.

1390
01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:20,320
Speaker 1: Frankly, it's tiring.

1391
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:22,679
Speaker 11: To look out at combat formations or really any formation

1392
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:28,160
Speaker 11: and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see.

1393
01:18:28,040 --> 01:18:29,839
Speaker 1: Fat generals and admirals in the halls.

1394
01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:32,519
Speaker 11: Of the Pentagon and leading commands around the country in

1395
01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:32,840
Speaker 11: the world.

1396
01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:35,479
Speaker 1: It's a bad look. It is bad and it's not

1397
01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:36,000
Speaker 1: who we are.

1398
01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:40,080
Speaker 11: So whether you're an airborne ranger or a chairborne ranger,

1399
01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:42,280
Speaker 11: a brand new private.

1400
01:18:42,040 --> 01:18:43,160
Speaker 1: Or a four star general.

1401
01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:45,240
Speaker 11: You need to meet the height and weight standards and

1402
01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:46,640
Speaker 11: pass the PT test.

1403
01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:49,840
Speaker 2: And as the Chairman said, yes there is no PT test.

1404
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:53,920
Speaker 11: But today, at my direction, every member of the Joint

1405
01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:56,799
Speaker 11: Force at every rank is required to take a PT

1406
01:18:56,840 --> 01:19:00,439
Speaker 11: test twice a year, as well as me height and

1407
01:19:00,479 --> 01:19:08,040
Speaker 11: weight requirements twice a year every year of service. Also today,

1408
01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:11,519
Speaker 11: at my direction, every warrior across our Joint Force is

1409
01:19:11,560 --> 01:19:12,880
Speaker 11: required to do PT.

1410
01:19:13,040 --> 01:19:16,200
Speaker 1: Every duty day. Should be common sense. I mean most

1411
01:19:16,280 --> 01:19:20,439
Speaker 1: units do that already. So there you go. There is

1412
01:19:20,479 --> 01:19:23,360
Speaker 1: the Secretary of Defense, or they don't call it the

1413
01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:25,960
Speaker 1: Defense Department anymore. They call it the Department of War,

1414
01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:32,120
Speaker 1: the War Department, telling these top military leaders, you know,

1415
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:35,080
Speaker 1: let's be in shape. I don't want to look out

1416
01:19:35,080 --> 01:19:37,280
Speaker 1: there and see a bunch of fat slobs wearing the

1417
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:41,160
Speaker 1: uniform of the United States of America. Those are my words,

1418
01:19:41,200 --> 01:19:45,559
Speaker 1: not his, But at least that's my takeaway from what

1419
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:49,280
Speaker 1: he said. And there's all kinds of video out there.

1420
01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:54,519
Speaker 1: We've seen hegseeth doing those early morning workouts. They'll do

1421
01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:58,400
Speaker 1: it with the Marines, do it with the Rangers. They'll

1422
01:19:58,600 --> 01:20:03,760
Speaker 1: do the workouts with anyone. Now, maybe he doesn't live

1423
01:20:03,840 --> 01:20:05,760
Speaker 1: up to the same physical standards that he used to

1424
01:20:05,800 --> 01:20:08,760
Speaker 1: when he was active duty. But the guy is pretty fit,

1425
01:20:09,120 --> 01:20:15,320
Speaker 1: in pretty good shape. So what about that speech makes

1426
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:23,719
Speaker 1: you upset? I'm listening to it and somehow the according

1427
01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:28,040
Speaker 1: to those on the left, this is anti woman, anti LGBTQ,

1428
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:36,200
Speaker 1: anti this anti that. Now things are changing in the

1429
01:20:36,240 --> 01:20:42,080
Speaker 1: military recruitment. Recruitment numbers are way up. There's a spread

1430
01:20:42,160 --> 01:20:46,759
Speaker 1: of corps now that we didn't have not that long ago.

1431
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:55,479
Speaker 1: So they're doing good things and being physically fit and

1432
01:20:55,520 --> 01:20:58,920
Speaker 1: wearing the uniform of the Army, of the Air Force,

1433
01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:03,800
Speaker 1: the Navy, Marines Guard. Those are two things my way

1434
01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:06,040
Speaker 1: of thinking that going. If you're going to be a

1435
01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:10,400
Speaker 1: warrior for this country, can't hurt you to get a

1436
01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:16,240
Speaker 1: little exercise. Mark, you's smelling what I'm cooking? Mark and Monroe, Wisconsin.

1437
01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:18,519
Speaker 7: I think I am all right.

1438
01:21:20,600 --> 01:21:22,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, did you did you what? What

1439
01:21:22,800 --> 01:21:25,040
Speaker 1: did you hear in that that segment of speech by

1440
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:27,760
Speaker 1: Pete Hegseth. That's worthy of condemnation.

1441
01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:35,320
Speaker 7: Well, unless you have something drastically against integrity and professionalism,

1442
01:21:35,760 --> 01:21:38,400
Speaker 7: I can't think of I can't think of anything.

1443
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:40,760
Speaker 1: Very well, said sir very, I can't say it any

1444
01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:42,280
Speaker 1: better than that. That is fantastic.

1445
01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:48,759
Speaker 7: Now, the one thing I would say, kind of across

1446
01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:54,000
Speaker 7: the board with the US, and I'm not necessarily this

1447
01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:58,599
Speaker 7: isn't necessarily the physical aspect of it, but again it's

1448
01:21:58,720 --> 01:22:05,400
Speaker 7: the integrity and professionalism. My concern is if we can't

1449
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:09,839
Speaker 7: go across the board, let's say, like with the FBI,

1450
01:22:09,800 --> 01:22:13,160
Speaker 7: if we can't get that up to snuff from integrity

1451
01:22:13,200 --> 01:22:17,880
Speaker 7: and professionalism, and we can't get the DOJ up the

1452
01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:22,880
Speaker 7: snuff and integrity of in professionalism, we could have the

1453
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:28,799
Speaker 7: greatest you know, Department of War or defense from foreign enemies,

1454
01:22:28,840 --> 01:22:33,439
Speaker 7: but if we can't clean up clean house with our

1455
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:39,280
Speaker 7: domestic enemies, which I think are so infiltrated, and like

1456
01:22:39,320 --> 01:22:44,400
Speaker 7: I said, with the DOJ and the FBI. And that's

1457
01:22:44,439 --> 01:22:48,600
Speaker 7: not a knock on cash Pattel, and you know, we

1458
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:51,679
Speaker 7: do have some good personnel out there, don't get me wrong.

1459
01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:56,280
Speaker 7: I'm just afraid that over the course of time, you know,

1460
01:22:56,800 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 7: And I'll go back to paracusaying Obama that I think

1461
01:23:02,439 --> 01:23:10,200
Speaker 7: he was a huge uh responsible for the infiltration that

1462
01:23:10,320 --> 01:23:14,120
Speaker 7: took place with the US with his transfer transformation of

1463
01:23:15,080 --> 01:23:19,960
Speaker 7: the US and his affiliation with the Muslim Brotherhood. And

1464
01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:24,680
Speaker 7: you know, I don't know how much how many Islamist

1465
01:23:24,840 --> 01:23:29,120
Speaker 7: and potential shariass out there that we that we have

1466
01:23:29,760 --> 01:23:32,959
Speaker 7: integrated into our US government.

1467
01:23:34,320 --> 01:23:37,240
Speaker 1: No, No, I I agree, Mark, and I look, the

1468
01:23:37,280 --> 01:23:40,320
Speaker 1: deep state, the deep state is is deeper than anyone thought.

1469
01:23:41,120 --> 01:23:42,880
Speaker 1: You know, so much of this is ingrained in the

1470
01:23:43,200 --> 01:23:47,439
Speaker 1: different agencies than we have. I like to think that

1471
01:23:47,560 --> 01:23:51,320
Speaker 1: because there's a culture of following orders within the military,

1472
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:56,439
Speaker 1: that that maybe the military it would be easier to

1473
01:23:56,760 --> 01:24:00,120
Speaker 1: whip into shape than something like the FBI or the

1474
01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:04,400
Speaker 1: Department of Justice or the different intelligence agencies that we have,

1475
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:08,640
Speaker 1: because I think that's where the real heartbeat of the

1476
01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:11,800
Speaker 1: deep state lies is in those particular agencies. I mean,

1477
01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:14,800
Speaker 1: they're so vast, and I mean, you know, there's more

1478
01:24:14,840 --> 01:24:17,920
Speaker 1: than over there's more than three million people and depending

1479
01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:20,439
Speaker 1: on how you count it, as many as five million

1480
01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:24,519
Speaker 1: people or more working for the federal government. I saw

1481
01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:26,920
Speaker 1: this thing today where you know, they're talking about all

1482
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:29,720
Speaker 1: these thousands of layoffs that are going to happen, and

1483
01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:33,120
Speaker 1: already one hundred and fifty thousand people have left the

1484
01:24:33,120 --> 01:24:36,800
Speaker 1: federal government under the Trump administration, and one hundred and

1485
01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:39,799
Speaker 1: fifty thousand sounds like a lot, but when you're talking

1486
01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:42,639
Speaker 1: about you know, anywhere between three and five million people,

1487
01:24:42,640 --> 01:24:45,680
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty thousand, that's not that much. So

1488
01:24:46,479 --> 01:24:49,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, these agencies, it is just so

1489
01:24:50,080 --> 01:24:53,040
Speaker 1: vast and so cumbersome, and so much of this stuff

1490
01:24:53,439 --> 01:24:55,720
Speaker 1: is so deeply ingrained. And I spent a lot of

1491
01:24:55,800 --> 01:24:59,640
Speaker 1: time this past week after the James Comey got indicted,

1492
01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:02,599
Speaker 1: and you know, this is a guy that couldn't separate

1493
01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:06,599
Speaker 1: his job that he is supposed to do on behalf

1494
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:09,000
Speaker 1: of the people of the United States and doing the

1495
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:11,880
Speaker 1: best for the president of the United States. He couldn't

1496
01:25:12,479 --> 01:25:17,519
Speaker 1: separate his politics from that. So he single handedly allowed

1497
01:25:17,520 --> 01:25:20,360
Speaker 1: the FBI to get to my way of thinking, they

1498
01:25:20,439 --> 01:25:26,880
Speaker 1: get dragged into the political sphere and really just ruin

1499
01:25:27,120 --> 01:25:30,559
Speaker 1: any confidence that the American people had in that agency.

1500
01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:34,439
Speaker 7: I agree with you, Dan. Another thing. I would go

1501
01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:38,720
Speaker 7: with this thing just to spin off the government shutdown.

1502
01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:43,679
Speaker 7: I would reinvent a form of DOGE, and I think

1503
01:25:43,680 --> 01:25:48,320
Speaker 7: it's a perfect opportunity to clean house and to see

1504
01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:52,439
Speaker 7: how many of these un American I would just assume

1505
01:25:52,479 --> 01:25:55,599
Speaker 7: call him traders and get them out of our system.

1506
01:25:55,640 --> 01:26:00,360
Speaker 7: I mean, yeah, you know, Chuck Schumer should be in

1507
01:26:00,439 --> 01:26:03,799
Speaker 7: office in the first places, especially after he had threatened

1508
01:26:04,680 --> 01:26:09,320
Speaker 7: two Supreme Court judges. And you know, it's guys like

1509
01:26:09,439 --> 01:26:16,000
Speaker 7: him that are totally wrecking America, plain and simple. I mean,

1510
01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:21,720
Speaker 7: I could I could list probably the whole Democratic you

1511
01:26:21,760 --> 01:26:28,320
Speaker 7: know entourage there, you know, with anywhere from Hillary Clinton

1512
01:26:28,479 --> 01:26:33,960
Speaker 7: and Pocahontas and Corey Booker, and you know, I could

1513
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:40,640
Speaker 7: go down the whole list. I think they're all substantial socialistic,

1514
01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:46,280
Speaker 7: borderline communists that are destroying the country.

1515
01:26:46,400 --> 01:26:48,960
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you know, Elizabeth Warren is on record

1516
01:26:49,040 --> 01:26:53,200
Speaker 1: supporting zorhan Loandami, You've got Nadler, You've got all these

1517
01:26:53,240 --> 01:26:58,200
Speaker 1: other mainstream Democrats. Kathy Hochele is supporting him. She's the

1518
01:26:58,240 --> 01:27:01,200
Speaker 1: governor of New York. So they're talking about how this

1519
01:27:01,240 --> 01:27:04,680
Speaker 1: guy is the future of the Democrat Party and and

1520
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:08,000
Speaker 1: he says, you know, you look, he says he's a socialist.

1521
01:27:08,240 --> 01:27:08,960
Speaker 1: And Mark, my.

1522
01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:16,120
Speaker 7: Question would be, if they obliged to h honor the Constitution,

1523
01:27:17,400 --> 01:27:22,400
Speaker 7: why wouldn't they be considered traders by by other you

1524
01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:23,360
Speaker 7: know again.

1525
01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:25,920
Speaker 1: Well, I think, look, I think that's a good point,

1526
01:27:25,920 --> 01:27:27,720
Speaker 1: and I think in a lot of these cases that

1527
01:27:27,720 --> 01:27:30,040
Speaker 1: that needs to be talked about in a meaningful way,

1528
01:27:30,640 --> 01:27:32,680
Speaker 1: that we start that we start looking at that.

1529
01:27:33,760 --> 01:27:34,400
Speaker 7: Absolutely.

1530
01:27:34,479 --> 01:27:38,680
Speaker 1: But I but think about it, though, if if if Pan,

1531
01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:42,320
Speaker 1: Bondi or Trump, you know, one started talking about you know,

1532
01:27:42,360 --> 01:27:44,720
Speaker 1: we're going to look at the treasonous activities of some

1533
01:27:44,760 --> 01:27:47,639
Speaker 1: of these individuals, look at the look at the Can

1534
01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:51,000
Speaker 1: you imagine the conniption that that the left and the

1535
01:27:51,040 --> 01:27:52,080
Speaker 1: media would have about that?

1536
01:27:53,680 --> 01:27:56,479
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, I can see the bull back from the

1537
01:27:56,520 --> 01:27:59,519
Speaker 7: whole thing. By On the other hand, if you don't

1538
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:02,160
Speaker 7: take that course, what's they going to leave you with?

1539
01:28:03,520 --> 01:28:06,519
Speaker 1: Mark? I appreciate the phone call tonight. Okay, thank you,

1540
01:28:06,560 --> 01:28:09,240
Speaker 1: all right, there you go, Mark, And he was was

1541
01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:13,240
Speaker 1: he Joe? Was he really in Wisconsin? It's pretty cool?

1542
01:28:13,720 --> 01:28:16,720
Speaker 1: All right, well, he said he was. So I don't

1543
01:28:16,720 --> 01:28:19,320
Speaker 1: have any reason not to believe five one, three, seven, four, nine,

1544
01:28:19,360 --> 01:28:23,240
Speaker 1: seven thousand. I touched on this earlier that the media

1545
01:28:23,800 --> 01:28:25,800
Speaker 1: trust in the media is at its lowest level more

1546
01:28:25,840 --> 01:28:30,240
Speaker 1: than fifty years. The development comes as Donald Trump has

1547
01:28:30,800 --> 01:28:34,720
Speaker 1: for almost a decade raged against fake news. Legacy at

1548
01:28:34,800 --> 01:28:37,880
Speaker 1: legacy outlets. New media has arisen to combat the left

1549
01:28:37,960 --> 01:28:42,799
Speaker 1: leaning bias of mainstream platforms u This is a Gallup survey.

1550
01:28:43,080 --> 01:28:46,400
Speaker 1: Twenty eight percent say they have a great deal or

1551
01:28:46,439 --> 01:28:49,599
Speaker 1: fair amount of trust in media to report the news

1552
01:28:49,640 --> 01:28:53,559
Speaker 1: accurately and fairly. Thirty six percent said they had not

1553
01:28:54,280 --> 01:29:01,719
Speaker 1: very much uh faith in the media, and thirty four

1554
01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:07,720
Speaker 1: percent say they have no trust in the media at all.

1555
01:29:07,880 --> 01:29:12,200
Speaker 1: Thirty four percent, that's more than a third of this

1556
01:29:12,280 --> 01:29:18,600
Speaker 1: country has no trust in the media whatsoever. And that

1557
01:29:19,080 --> 01:29:23,120
Speaker 1: is it has been well earned by those in those

1558
01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:26,920
Speaker 1: various positions. Yeah, here's the number. More than one hundred

1559
01:29:26,960 --> 01:29:32,000
Speaker 1: and fifty bureaucrats have exited the federal payroll this week.

1560
01:29:33,200 --> 01:29:37,400
Speaker 1: These are the bureaucrats who accepted President Trump's buyout. They'll

1561
01:29:37,400 --> 01:29:40,960
Speaker 1: be removed from the federal payroll. This week represents the

1562
01:29:41,040 --> 01:29:45,200
Speaker 1: largest one year exodus of federal workers in eighty years.

1563
01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:50,280
Speaker 1: Eighty years since as many people have left the federal government.

1564
01:29:51,520 --> 01:29:53,439
Speaker 1: I don't know how big the federal government was eighty

1565
01:29:53,520 --> 01:29:58,200
Speaker 1: years ago, but if they could afford to shed one

1566
01:29:58,280 --> 01:30:02,240
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty four thousand workers eighty years ago, it

1567
01:30:02,439 --> 01:30:05,880
Speaker 1: was way too big back then. If he asked me,

1568
01:30:06,800 --> 01:30:09,800
Speaker 1: and then my buddy David Strom over at hot Air

1569
01:30:10,520 --> 01:30:14,080
Speaker 1: writes about what's going on in Malibu, not LA and

1570
01:30:14,120 --> 01:30:17,160
Speaker 1: I texted him when I saw this piece that he wrote,

1571
01:30:17,840 --> 01:30:21,519
Speaker 1: and I said, I had this headline five or six

1572
01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:24,120
Speaker 1: months ago, but then it struck me it was about

1573
01:30:24,200 --> 01:30:28,559
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Malibu is not Los Angeles, but Malibu had

1574
01:30:28,600 --> 01:30:32,679
Speaker 1: the devastating wildfires as well. Seven hundred and twenty structures

1575
01:30:32,720 --> 01:30:39,040
Speaker 1: in Malibu were lost during those wildfires, and so far

1576
01:30:39,280 --> 01:30:45,240
Speaker 1: they've had two building permits issued for people who want

1577
01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:54,680
Speaker 1: to rebuild. Absolutely unbelievable. The slow pace of reconstruction after

1578
01:30:54,760 --> 01:30:58,800
Speaker 1: January's fired disaster has touched off a political tempest in Malibu,

1579
01:30:59,080 --> 01:31:04,639
Speaker 1: prompting the residignation of the city's volunteer rebuilding ambassador after

1580
01:31:04,720 --> 01:31:09,000
Speaker 1: his suggestion and along with some other rebuilding activists that

1581
01:31:09,120 --> 01:31:14,600
Speaker 1: may Or Mary Ann Riggins considered gracefully stepping down. The

1582
01:31:14,680 --> 01:31:18,040
Speaker 1: controversy continues to boil a conflict that's been simmering for

1583
01:31:18,160 --> 01:31:25,360
Speaker 1: months over what Malibu residents say are overly onerous rebuilding requirements.

1584
01:31:27,080 --> 01:31:29,920
Speaker 1: Seven hundred and twenty structures in the city burned down

1585
01:31:29,960 --> 01:31:33,160
Speaker 1: in January, but just sixty nine have received initial plan

1586
01:31:33,240 --> 01:31:39,080
Speaker 1: approval and only two have obtained permits to allow them

1587
01:31:39,120 --> 01:31:44,599
Speaker 1: to begin construction. I mean, think about that. Two permits

1588
01:31:44,640 --> 01:31:52,960
Speaker 1: in nearly ten months is absolutely horrible. And there's you know,

1589
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:54,960
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people in Malibu who have the

1590
01:31:55,040 --> 01:32:00,559
Speaker 1: means to rebuild, and I don't thinket my buddy Michael Monk.

1591
01:32:01,640 --> 01:32:05,519
Speaker 1: Michael Monk's back on the show and see if he's

1592
01:32:05,520 --> 01:32:08,360
Speaker 1: been following what's been happening in Malibu and all we

1593
01:32:08,439 --> 01:32:10,840
Speaker 1: got some more audio to get to. One is really

1594
01:32:10,840 --> 01:32:15,439
Speaker 1: good of a great example. You know, we talked about

1595
01:32:16,040 --> 01:32:19,559
Speaker 1: how trust and media is at a fifty year low,

1596
01:32:20,720 --> 01:32:26,120
Speaker 1: and I've got a great example of how CNN does

1597
01:32:26,160 --> 01:32:30,320
Speaker 1: what they can to to earn that rating, to earn

1598
01:32:30,400 --> 01:32:34,280
Speaker 1: the distrust of the American people. So we'll get to

1599
01:32:34,280 --> 01:32:38,080
Speaker 1: that one. And man, I'm just scrolling through my stuff.

1600
01:32:38,120 --> 01:32:40,160
Speaker 1: We've got a ton of other stuff here too as well.

1601
01:32:40,600 --> 01:32:42,800
Speaker 1: It just goes so fast, but that's why I love

1602
01:32:42,840 --> 01:32:47,439
Speaker 1: being here. Uh five, one, three, seven, four, nine, seven hundred.

1603
01:32:47,520 --> 01:32:49,280

Speaker 12: would be about six seven hundred million dollars, which is

1634
01:34:29,160 --> 01:34:31,160
Speaker 12: less than Andrew Komo gave to Elon Musk one year

1635
01:34:31,200 --> 01:34:33,280
Speaker 12: in tax breaks at nine hundred and fifty nine million.

1636
01:34:33,560 --> 01:34:36,240
Speaker 12: Showing people the context that we're in and building a

1637
01:34:36,240 --> 01:34:38,799
Speaker 12: coalition where they may not see themselves in me perhaps,

1638
01:34:38,800 --> 01:34:40,840
Speaker 12: but they may see themselves in the best in the

1639
01:34:40,840 --> 01:34:42,960
Speaker 12: brightest that I'll hire to surround me and city hope you.

Speaker 1: the best in the brightest and it's only going to

1642
01:34:48,080 --> 01:34:53,280
Speaker 1: cost six to seven hundred million dollars. And you're going

1643
01:34:53,360 --> 01:34:56,400
Speaker 1: to talk about a a what do you say nine

1644
01:34:56,479 --> 01:35:03,160
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar tax break for Elon Musk? Anyone believed that?

1647
01:35:13,120 --> 01:35:14,599
Speaker 13: Hello Darren, thanks for taking my call.

1648
01:35:14,760 --> 01:35:16,639
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, do you.

1649
01:35:16,640 --> 01:35:22,840
Speaker 13: Remember this past January second presidential inauguration speech? When none

1650
01:35:22,880 --> 01:35:26,200
Speaker 13: of the Democrats were wanting to stand up and clap

1651
01:35:26,240 --> 01:35:28,679
Speaker 13: for anything that Donald Trump was saying.

1652
01:35:28,880 --> 01:35:31,320
Speaker 1: Oh, they hated they were hating life that night.

1653
01:35:33,160 --> 01:35:37,599
Speaker 13: I'm wondering about all the military people that was sitting

1654
01:35:37,640 --> 01:35:41,679
Speaker 13: in the two front rows. None of them should up either.

1655
01:35:41,760 --> 01:35:43,920
Speaker 13: Were they all hand picked by Democrats?

1656
01:35:44,720 --> 01:35:48,760
Speaker 1: I think. I think when you look at the when

1657
01:35:48,800 --> 01:35:50,720
Speaker 1: I watched the State of the Union speech, is you

1658
01:35:50,800 --> 01:35:54,559
Speaker 1: got the Supreme Court justices down there. They tried to

1659
01:35:54,720 --> 01:35:59,200
Speaker 1: at least outwardly show their impartiality by not standing and

1660
01:35:59,280 --> 01:36:02,439
Speaker 1: not applauding for certain things. I think members in the

1661
01:36:02,439 --> 01:36:07,639
Speaker 1: military try to maintain that air of you know, non

1662
01:36:07,920 --> 01:36:10,640
Speaker 1: be you know, being non political, which I think is

1663
01:36:10,680 --> 01:36:13,280
Speaker 1: probably a good thing when you get to that level

1664
01:36:13,280 --> 01:36:16,680
Speaker 1: though of you know, whatever branch of service you're in,

1665
01:36:17,760 --> 01:36:21,479
Speaker 1: then there's obviously their own brand of politics that goes

1666
01:36:21,520 --> 01:36:26,960
Speaker 1: along with that. But no, I think that's just more

1667
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:30,120
Speaker 1: for show than anything else. That they're not going to

1668
01:36:30,280 --> 01:36:33,639
Speaker 1: at least overtly applaud the president when he talks about

1669
01:36:34,320 --> 01:36:36,000
Speaker 1: different policy and issues.

1670
01:36:37,760 --> 01:36:41,320
Speaker 13: So they were just trying to remain neutral. You were

1671
01:36:41,360 --> 01:36:45,160
Speaker 13: talking up to that, Okay, thank you, because I was

1672
01:36:45,280 --> 01:36:47,840
Speaker 13: very confused about that, and you know, I heard a

1673
01:36:47,840 --> 01:36:51,200
Speaker 13: lot of rhetoric about nobody else.

1674
01:36:51,520 --> 01:36:53,719
Speaker 14: Well, I guess what struck me is that.

1675
01:36:53,720 --> 01:36:58,000
Speaker 13: And previous speeches they would stand up for some things,

1676
01:36:58,120 --> 01:37:01,320
Speaker 13: you know, but this was the first time that none

1677
01:37:01,360 --> 01:37:05,920
Speaker 13: of the people in military sit up for anything, even

1678
01:37:05,960 --> 01:37:08,439
Speaker 13: when those awards were given, you know, so I just

1679
01:37:08,920 --> 01:37:12,800
Speaker 13: even the most fuss point, you know.

1680
01:37:12,800 --> 01:37:15,519
Speaker 14: They you would have thought that somebody from the army

1681
01:37:15,560 --> 01:37:19,360
Speaker 14: would have sit up for that. But that just struck

1682
01:37:19,400 --> 01:37:22,599
Speaker 14: me as very odd, and I was wanting to get

1683
01:37:22,800 --> 01:37:23,439
Speaker 14: your take on that.

1684
01:37:23,640 --> 01:37:26,040
Speaker 1: All right, Philip, I appreciate the phone call tonight, thank

1685
01:37:26,080 --> 01:37:29,080
Speaker 1: you very much. Let me give you this is probably

1686
01:37:29,080 --> 01:37:31,080
Speaker 1: one of the best examples I've seen in a while

1687
01:37:31,960 --> 01:37:36,280
Speaker 1: of how the the main street well I guess not

1688
01:37:36,760 --> 01:37:40,880
Speaker 1: well the cable media anyway, in this case CNN, and

1689
01:37:41,400 --> 01:37:44,920
Speaker 1: what they did was Mike Johnson was on earlier this week,

1690
01:37:45,400 --> 01:37:51,320
Speaker 1: he was having a live news availability, and so CNN

1691
01:37:52,240 --> 01:37:55,840
Speaker 1: decided that, you know what this was just wasn't good

1692
01:37:55,920 --> 01:37:59,840
Speaker 1: enough anymore. And this is what it sounded like. And

1693
01:38:00,080 --> 01:38:01,760
Speaker 1: with that, Joe, let's hear a cut number two, if

1694
01:38:01,760 --> 01:38:02,600
Speaker 1: we could police.

1695
01:38:05,520 --> 01:38:09,160
Speaker 15: The working families tax cut included a huge provision a

1696
01:38:09,160 --> 01:38:12,559
Speaker 15: big chunk of that bill was the health provisions. Now,

1697
01:38:12,560 --> 01:38:14,240
Speaker 15: why are we saying that they want to return and

1698
01:38:14,320 --> 01:38:18,960
Speaker 15: restore taxpayer funded benefits to legal aliens, because that's exactly

1699
01:38:18,960 --> 01:38:21,519
Speaker 15: what they did when they rejected the clean cr that

1700
01:38:21,560 --> 01:38:24,320
Speaker 15: we sent over the Senate, filed the Senate.

1701
01:38:25,280 --> 01:38:28,439
Speaker 16: Here to Speaker Johnson, he's trying to frame the shutdown

1702
01:38:28,439 --> 01:38:31,599
Speaker 16: as a Democratic shutdown. He also also claimed that Democrats

1703
01:38:31,680 --> 01:38:35,360
Speaker 16: want to give healthcare scent healthcare to illegal immigrants.

1704
01:38:35,520 --> 01:38:36,599
Speaker 12: That is not true.

1705
01:38:36,800 --> 01:38:40,000
Speaker 16: Illegal immigrants are not eligible for federal health care program.

1706
01:38:40,200 --> 01:38:44,479
Speaker 1: So there you go. Their CNN not only cutting off

1707
01:38:44,560 --> 01:38:49,000
Speaker 1: Mike Johnson but running interference for Democrats, and the White

1708
01:38:49,000 --> 01:38:54,360
Speaker 1: House put out a memo of exactly how the Democrats

1709
01:38:54,360 --> 01:38:58,479
Speaker 1: are trying to do this, buried inside the continuing Resolution

1710
01:38:58,600 --> 01:39:00,960
Speaker 1: as a demand to repeal press and in Trump's historic

1711
01:39:01,000 --> 01:39:05,799
Speaker 1: American First healthcare reforms, the safeguards that protect US citizens

1712
01:39:05,800 --> 01:39:11,200
Speaker 1: from putting the bill for illegal alien medical care. So

1713
01:39:11,840 --> 01:39:18,519
Speaker 1: the that's the term is illegal alien. And so what

1714
01:39:18,520 --> 01:39:21,400
Speaker 1: what the Democrats are saying is that, well, if you're

1715
01:39:21,400 --> 01:39:25,880
Speaker 1: an illegal alien, you don't get health care. And so

1716
01:39:26,360 --> 01:39:29,200
Speaker 1: what they're trying to do is classify the people who

1717
01:39:29,280 --> 01:39:34,040
Speaker 1: are in the country illegally as parolees. That if you

1718
01:39:34,080 --> 01:39:36,040
Speaker 1: if you came in and you had contact with the

1719
01:39:36,080 --> 01:39:39,479
Speaker 1: system under the Biden administration, you're ted, you're I guess

1720
01:39:39,880 --> 01:39:43,880
Speaker 1: you know, you're just designated a parole ee. You're still

1721
01:39:43,880 --> 01:39:47,680
Speaker 1: in the country illegally. But because the Democrats want to

1722
01:39:47,680 --> 01:39:50,840
Speaker 1: put a different name on it, they're saying, no, you're

1723
01:39:50,880 --> 01:39:53,000
Speaker 1: you're you know, you're illegal, You're never you're a parole

1724
01:39:53,160 --> 01:39:57,160
Speaker 1: You're not illegal. So you get health care. Let's see,

1725
01:39:57,160 --> 01:40:03,519
Speaker 1: it's it's all it's all semantics. So they put out

1726
01:40:03,560 --> 01:40:10,040
Speaker 1: their their memo, and the memo in it talks about

1727
01:40:10,040 --> 01:40:13,559
Speaker 1: they want to spend one hundred and ninety make that

1728
01:40:13,680 --> 01:40:21,720
Speaker 1: ninety one point four billion restoring Obamacare funding for non citizens,

1729
01:40:23,080 --> 01:40:28,679
Speaker 1: thirty four point six billion to reopen California's Medicaid plan,

1730
01:40:29,720 --> 01:40:34,360
Speaker 1: emergency care reimbursement for illegals, twenty eight point two billion,

1731
01:40:34,400 --> 01:40:40,080
Speaker 1: Obamacare special rules subsidies for non non citizens, twenty seven billion,

1732
01:40:41,640 --> 01:40:45,320
Speaker 1: six billion for Medicaid for non citizens, five billion for

1733
01:40:45,400 --> 01:40:49,720
Speaker 1: Medicare for non citizens. So they put it all out there,

1734
01:40:49,720 --> 01:40:52,320
Speaker 1: but CNN is like, oh, well, they made it. That's

1735
01:40:52,360 --> 01:40:57,800
Speaker 1: the speaker Johnson. He made a false claim Ray in Cincinnati.

1736
01:40:58,320 --> 01:41:00,320
Speaker 1: You're up next on seven hundred. W w.

1737
01:41:01,880 --> 01:41:03,720
Speaker 2: Hey, there was two items. The one was when you

1738
01:41:03,760 --> 01:41:06,000
Speaker 2: were talking about the military in terms of how the

1739
01:41:06,040 --> 01:41:10,439
Speaker 2: top brass just kind of sat there stoic. Yeah, well,

1740
01:41:10,479 --> 01:41:12,639
Speaker 2: in the in the Navy, I mean your air force.

1741
01:41:12,680 --> 01:41:16,440
Speaker 2: In the Navy, you're on an enclosed boat. The wardroom

1742
01:41:16,520 --> 01:41:20,000
Speaker 2: is your lunch room. So you're still on an enclosed boat.

1743
01:41:20,439 --> 01:41:22,960
Speaker 2: What would get you in trouble in terms of conversation

1744
01:41:24,120 --> 01:41:27,080
Speaker 2: is two items. And there would be a senior enlisted

1745
01:41:27,120 --> 01:41:29,919
Speaker 2: that would nail you because you also had the officers

1746
01:41:30,160 --> 01:41:34,040
Speaker 2: quarters or you know, lunch room. But if you started

1747
01:41:34,080 --> 01:41:38,640
Speaker 2: talking about women or politics, your ass was reprimanded in

1748
01:41:38,680 --> 01:41:39,160
Speaker 2: a hurry.

1749
01:41:39,320 --> 01:41:43,080
Speaker 1: That was that was that was round upon Huh, Well, I.

1750
01:41:43,080 --> 01:41:45,839
Speaker 2: Don't think about it. You start getting in the fights

1751
01:41:45,840 --> 01:41:48,360
Speaker 2: and you're in an enclosing environments like just shut up,

1752
01:41:48,760 --> 01:41:52,360
Speaker 2: go away. Though that was maybe one of the reasons

1753
01:41:52,400 --> 01:41:56,080
Speaker 2: why that comment is actually accurate, But that would be

1754
01:41:56,080 --> 01:41:58,639
Speaker 2: a reason why now they might still hate Trump though

1755
01:42:00,040 --> 01:42:04,439
Speaker 2: I could very well have been true. But the other part,

1756
01:42:04,479 --> 01:42:08,280
Speaker 2: that's funny when you're talking about this Mundabi because he's

1757
01:42:08,320 --> 01:42:12,080
Speaker 2: not a communist. Well, the Soviets said the same thing

1758
01:42:12,080 --> 01:42:15,080
Speaker 2: as Soviet Socialist Republic. They didn't, they didn't say that

1759
01:42:15,120 --> 01:42:22,200
Speaker 2: they were communists, right, yeah, okay, Well there was a

1760
01:42:22,240 --> 01:42:24,320
Speaker 2: girl that was in graduate school with me at UC

1761
01:42:24,520 --> 01:42:28,920
Speaker 2: and she's a lot younger, and Inga came from Saint

1762
01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:33,439
Speaker 2: Petersburg and her dad was a Russian admiral, Soviet admiral

1763
01:42:33,560 --> 01:42:36,800
Speaker 2: back then. And I asked her, I said, Inga, what

1764
01:42:36,880 --> 01:42:39,680
Speaker 2: was it like when the wall fell down? She was

1765
01:42:39,720 --> 01:42:42,479
Speaker 2: only eight or nine. She's a real pretty woman, real

1766
01:42:42,560 --> 01:42:47,680
Speaker 2: big brown eyes and straight round face, real pretty. And

1767
01:42:48,000 --> 01:42:51,719
Speaker 2: Inga looked up at me and she says, we were very,

1768
01:42:52,439 --> 01:42:58,800
Speaker 2: very hungry. Her eye got her right, her irish got

1769
01:42:58,800 --> 01:43:01,839
Speaker 2: bigger than her eye lids. I mean, she she just opened.

1770
01:43:01,880 --> 01:43:05,640
Speaker 2: She was it was a very very bad time to

1771
01:43:05,760 --> 01:43:09,760
Speaker 2: all of a sudden go to capitalists from socialists. And

1772
01:43:09,840 --> 01:43:12,639
Speaker 2: she was coming from class staff too, so she got

1773
01:43:12,680 --> 01:43:14,360
Speaker 2: to get to the better grocery stores.

1774
01:43:14,439 --> 01:43:15,280
Speaker 1: Sure you know what I mean.

1775
01:43:16,320 --> 01:43:20,439
Speaker 2: So no, that's where my mommy, it's called. We all

1776
01:43:20,479 --> 01:43:24,120
Speaker 2: equally make the same crap, except for the important people.

1777
01:43:24,640 --> 01:43:27,519
Speaker 1: Well, you know, look, he if he if he loves

1778
01:43:27,520 --> 01:43:30,479
Speaker 1: socialism so much, he's got his family's got all kinds

1779
01:43:30,520 --> 01:43:33,360
Speaker 1: of money. He can go live in a socialist country

1780
01:43:33,400 --> 01:43:36,479
Speaker 1: if he wants, but no, he wants to be in charge. See,

1781
01:43:36,479 --> 01:43:39,479
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to live under socialism. He wants to

1782
01:43:39,479 --> 01:43:43,960
Speaker 1: be in charge of the socialist socialists. Yeah, those folks,

1783
01:43:44,040 --> 01:43:45,759
Speaker 1: those folks do pretty well for themselves.

1784
01:43:46,640 --> 01:43:48,600
Speaker 2: Did you hear about the Russians in terms of what

1785
01:43:48,640 --> 01:43:53,320
Speaker 2: they're they're hiring in Cubans. They're paying these Cubans something

1786
01:43:53,400 --> 01:43:55,760
Speaker 2: like two thousand a month when a Cuban makes only

1787
01:43:55,840 --> 01:43:58,559
Speaker 2: like twenty bucks a month, because they're desperate to get

1788
01:43:58,640 --> 01:44:00,000
Speaker 2: him over into Ukraine.

1789
01:44:00,240 --> 01:44:04,640
Speaker 1: To fight in the war. Yeah, it's uh no conscript concerpts.

1790
01:44:04,439 --> 01:44:05,080
Speaker 4: It's got.

1791
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:08,960
Speaker 2: He just did a call up for either a hundred

1792
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:11,679
Speaker 2: or one hundred and twenty thousand in the Soviet Union,

1793
01:44:12,400 --> 01:44:16,800
Speaker 2: and he said that if you enlist, you were getting

1794
01:44:16,840 --> 01:44:19,439
Speaker 2: something like a fifty or one hundred thousand dollars bonus.

1795
01:44:19,439 --> 01:44:23,639
Speaker 2: He was that desperate. And at the same time, their

1796
01:44:23,680 --> 01:44:28,040
Speaker 2: inflation rate in the Soviet Union or well Russia right

1797
01:44:28,080 --> 01:44:30,200
Speaker 2: now is there's every bit of twenty percent.

1798
01:44:31,439 --> 01:44:34,360
Speaker 1: I read that that they're the Russia is losing like

1799
01:44:34,360 --> 01:44:37,760
Speaker 1: a thousand guys a week. Yeah, think about that.

1800
01:44:37,760 --> 01:44:40,320
Speaker 2: There's a reason why, there's the reason why they can't

1801
01:44:40,360 --> 01:44:42,880
Speaker 2: anybody paying them a lot of money.

1802
01:44:43,000 --> 01:44:44,720
Speaker 1: It might it might be higher than that. Ray, I

1803
01:44:44,760 --> 01:44:47,599
Speaker 1: got a run. I appreciate the call out of here.

1804
01:44:47,680 --> 01:44:49,479
Speaker 1: All right, thank you. Right, let's go to Lisa, and

1805
01:44:49,479 --> 01:44:51,439
Speaker 1: Lisa's been on hold for a little bit. Lisa seven

1806
01:44:51,520 --> 01:44:52,480
Speaker 1: hundred WLW.

1807
01:44:56,320 --> 01:45:00,439
Speaker 17: I had two things too with the no name given license.

1808
01:45:00,600 --> 01:45:03,040
Speaker 17: You know, my sister had to fight the problem of

1809
01:45:03,160 --> 01:45:06,720
Speaker 17: license d MD for years trying to get an e

1810
01:45:06,920 --> 01:45:08,880
Speaker 17: off of her name that they accidentally put on in

1811
01:45:08,920 --> 01:45:12,400
Speaker 17: two eighteen. You know, of course certificate everything. They didn't care.

1812
01:45:12,520 --> 01:45:14,639
Speaker 17: They you know, hoops that she had to jump through.

1813
01:45:15,920 --> 01:45:20,560
Speaker 1: I mean, dealing with those people.

1814
01:45:21,800 --> 01:45:23,680
Speaker 17: Well there, and they're trying to say, oh, he just

1815
01:45:23,760 --> 01:45:26,120
Speaker 17: has one name probably, but I don't see that name

1816
01:45:26,160 --> 01:45:31,519
Speaker 17: on that ID. But okay, temporary protective status. People don't

1817
01:45:31,520 --> 01:45:34,200
Speaker 17: realize that everyone that's here under that can get the

1818
01:45:34,240 --> 01:45:38,320
Speaker 17: work authorization, can get licenses, can get Social Security cards,

1819
01:45:38,640 --> 01:45:41,880
Speaker 17: you know, and a lot of people don't understand that.

1820
01:45:42,160 --> 01:45:45,760
Speaker 17: But my main point was the Democrat Party now like

1821
01:45:45,840 --> 01:45:50,720
Speaker 17: they've basically been taken over, you know, by the Democrat socialists.

1822
01:45:51,000 --> 01:45:53,000
Speaker 17: You know, they think it's there to put Democrats put

1823
01:45:53,080 --> 01:45:55,760
Speaker 17: the name, but the socialists and you know.

1824
01:45:55,760 --> 01:45:57,200
Speaker 4: There's groups out there.

1825
01:45:57,479 --> 01:46:00,640
Speaker 17: How like AOC got in there. She was recruited, you know,

1826
01:46:01,400 --> 01:46:05,200
Speaker 17: her her brother nominated her. And she looked good, she

1827
01:46:05,320 --> 01:46:08,280
Speaker 17: talked good, and they can put the words in their mouth.

1828
01:46:09,080 --> 01:46:11,200
Speaker 17: You know, did her through the first couple of years.

1829
01:46:11,200 --> 01:46:14,200
Speaker 17: That's why any deep questions. You know, she didn't have

1830
01:46:14,320 --> 01:46:19,440
Speaker 17: impestis she only knew like the talking point for years.

1831
01:46:19,840 --> 01:46:24,040
Speaker 17: But they literally are just recruiting people and putting them

1832
01:46:24,040 --> 01:46:27,799
Speaker 17: in Congress. And they said, I don't know how that's allowed.

1833
01:46:28,280 --> 01:46:31,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I read that her her net worth now is

1834
01:46:31,000 --> 01:46:33,840
Speaker 1: in excess of thirty million dollars. And then think about that

1835
01:46:34,960 --> 01:46:38,320
Speaker 1: she was she was a bartender before she came to

1836
01:46:37,760 --> 01:46:41,040
Speaker 1: the Congress and now she's a multi millionaire. How does

1837
01:46:41,080 --> 01:46:41,479
Speaker 1: that work?

1838
01:46:46,200 --> 01:46:48,040
Speaker 17: And they can see it. But things like that are

1839
01:46:48,080 --> 01:46:48,640
Speaker 17: allowed to go on.

1840
01:46:49,280 --> 01:46:51,800
Speaker 1: Lisa, thank you so much for picking up the phone tonight.

1841
01:46:51,800 --> 01:46:56,360
Speaker 1: I really appreciate it. Good night YouTube. There you go, Lisa,

1842
01:46:56,520 --> 01:47:01,000
Speaker 1: and I believe she was in Butler County executives braced

1843
01:47:01,040 --> 01:47:04,960
Speaker 1: him for a free fall in the electric vehicle sale

1844
01:47:06,200 --> 01:47:10,599
Speaker 1: following the disappearance of the seven thousand five hundred dollars

1845
01:47:10,600 --> 01:47:16,280
Speaker 1: tax break for buyers of electric vehicles. That tax subsidy

1846
01:47:16,439 --> 01:47:22,200
Speaker 1: ended yesterday. Jim Farley, CEO of a Ford, said it's

1847
01:47:22,240 --> 01:47:27,200
Speaker 1: a game changer. He was in Detroit just hours before

1848
01:47:27,240 --> 01:47:31,440
Speaker 1: the subsidy expired. He said he would not be surprised

1849
01:47:31,520 --> 01:47:36,320
Speaker 1: if electric car sales dropped five to five percent of

1850
01:47:36,560 --> 01:47:41,920
Speaker 1: US of total US vehicle sales next month. That would

1851
01:47:41,920 --> 01:47:45,920
Speaker 1: be about half the level from August, a monthly record

1852
01:47:45,960 --> 01:47:51,559
Speaker 1: as consumers hurried to take advantage of the credit and

1853
01:47:51,640 --> 01:47:54,439
Speaker 1: among the lowest level in several years. The EV market

1854
01:47:54,479 --> 01:47:58,479
Speaker 1: is going to collapse in October, said the chairman of

1855
01:47:58,600 --> 01:48:05,559
Speaker 1: Nissan American Japan's Nissan is still rolling out redesigned versions

1856
01:48:05,600 --> 01:48:10,320
Speaker 1: of the Nissan Leaf, the small EV. Let's see what.

1857
01:48:11,080 --> 01:48:15,280
Speaker 1: Congress approved a seven five hundred dollars tax credit credit

1858
01:48:15,280 --> 01:48:19,000
Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight for buyers of electric cars

1859
01:48:19,000 --> 01:48:24,160
Speaker 1: and plug in hybrids. The Inflation Reduction Act extended the

1860
01:48:24,200 --> 01:48:27,799
Speaker 1: credit while limiting eligibility to evs built in the US.

1861
01:48:29,800 --> 01:48:34,360
Speaker 1: See this is all. This is all government manipulation reaching

1862
01:48:34,400 --> 01:48:40,800
Speaker 1: into the sales of automobiles. Yeah, you buy, you buy

1863
01:48:40,880 --> 01:48:43,280
Speaker 1: the right kind of Carboy, you're gonna get you gonna

1864
01:48:43,320 --> 01:48:46,920
Speaker 1: get a big fat tax credit seventy five hundred bucks.

1865
01:48:49,040 --> 01:48:54,320
Speaker 1: And I think that's one of the things that Trump

1866
01:48:54,360 --> 01:49:01,320
Speaker 1: and Elon Elon Musk saw differently, and it may be

1867
01:49:01,400 --> 01:49:05,040
Speaker 1: one of the uh, one of the more unpleasant things

1868
01:49:05,040 --> 01:49:08,639
Speaker 1: that they have between them. Oh that reminds me. Elon

1869
01:49:08,720 --> 01:49:13,000
Speaker 1: Musk is not happy with Netflix. Elon Musk has been

1870
01:49:13,000 --> 01:49:15,800
Speaker 1: putting out some stuff about Netflix, telling people do not

1871
01:49:15,920 --> 01:49:19,920
Speaker 1: let your kids watch Netflix. Apparently they've got all these

1872
01:49:19,920 --> 01:49:24,880
Speaker 1: different shows, and I guess we watch I'm trying to think.

1873
01:49:24,920 --> 01:49:28,000
Speaker 1: I don't normally if I'm looking to watch a movie

1874
01:49:28,120 --> 01:49:30,439
Speaker 1: or I want to see something on TV, and Netflix

1875
01:49:30,479 --> 01:49:33,800
Speaker 1: is kind of I've scrolled through the you know, some

1876
01:49:33,880 --> 01:49:35,679
Speaker 1: of the stuff they have, and it just doesn't seem

1877
01:49:35,760 --> 01:49:37,760
Speaker 1: like there's really all that much there, at least that

1878
01:49:37,880 --> 01:49:42,200
Speaker 1: I want to see. But they've got all these shows

1879
01:49:42,479 --> 01:49:46,200
Speaker 1: targeting kids and daygone it. I had that article up

1880
01:49:46,200 --> 01:49:49,960
Speaker 1: here and I can't find it now. But apparently I'll

1881
01:49:49,960 --> 01:49:52,200
Speaker 1: talk about the next time on the air. But Elon

1882
01:49:52,320 --> 01:49:57,200
Speaker 1: Musk is apparently blowing the whistle on this. And if

1883
01:49:57,720 --> 01:50:01,960
Speaker 1: you're like me and you've got grandchildren, you got to

1884
01:50:02,040 --> 01:50:06,200
Speaker 1: look at what they're watching. Because Netflix has all these

1885
01:50:06,240 --> 01:50:11,479
Speaker 1: shows that are geared towards kids, and they're pushing the

1886
01:50:11,640 --> 01:50:18,080
Speaker 1: LGBT and the transagenda and all this other stuff. So yeah,

1887
01:50:18,200 --> 01:50:21,320
Speaker 1: I mean, they're exposing these kids to some of just

1888
01:50:21,600 --> 01:50:25,599
Speaker 1: some of the worst stuff possible. They've lost more than

1889
01:50:25,640 --> 01:50:30,040
Speaker 1: fifteen billion since Musk put this out, so he is

1890
01:50:30,120 --> 01:50:32,559
Speaker 1: not a big fan of Netflix. So you got kids

1891
01:50:32,560 --> 01:50:36,280
Speaker 1: and Netflix, stay away from it. Dagone and I forgot

1892
01:50:36,320 --> 01:50:38,600
Speaker 1: to talk about that. I waited too long, but my

1893
01:50:38,680 --> 01:50:42,719
Speaker 1: time is gone. So Joe Waddell, thank you for everything,

1894
01:50:42,800 --> 01:50:46,600
Speaker 1: Thank you for listening, and how about those Reds. We
