Phone lines are open 0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:27.680 five to one to three, seven four nine, seven, eight 0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:31.240 hundred the Big One and no guests. First hour. I 0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:34.720 do have my buddy Jim Faff from the Conservative Caucus. 0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:37.480 He'll be here. We'll talk about some of the day's 0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:40.559 events and what's going on in DC, what's going on 0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:43.760 with Trump, stuff like that. And then Curtis Howt we'll 0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:47.440 be here from NewsBusters. It's a it's amazing. The New 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:50.920 York Times wrote a piece about Joe Biden and how 0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:59.280 uh how ineffective his his border policy was just about 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:05.320 five years too late. But uh, you know, I mean this, 0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:09.640 I guess better late than never. I guess the you know, 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:12.119 the the paper of record wanted to get on record 0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:19.040 with recognizing what was painfully obvious, and so they, uh 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:21.920 they went ahead and and and you know, took the 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:26.720 journalistic risk to to write a piece that was critical 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:32.720 of the of the Biden administration. Absolutely unbelievable, but uh, 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:37.600 you know, I don't know why I hold out hope 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:40.720 on things. And look, I know it's the we're getting. 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:44.600 Christmas is not that far away. It's the holiday season, 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:50.400 and I'm supposed to talk about tips for decorating your tree, 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:54.840 the best way to make make that batch of cookies, 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:59.200 you know, elf on the shelf, all those kind of 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:05.440 holiday topics, fighting the crowds, the mall, all that kind 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.760 of stuff. Now, if I mean, if you want that 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:13.040 kind of talk, I'm gonna have to direct the elsewhere 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:15.880 because that's but I just, you know, I mean, I 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:20.320 hold out hope. I hold out hope that people in 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:27.880 elected office will just stop being so predictable, that they'll 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:31.840 stand up and do things that may not seem like 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:35.320 the popular thing to do. That uh maybe you know, 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.240 maybe they'll they'll swim against the tide a little bit. 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:43.120 I kind of hope that some members of Cincinnati City 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:47.120 Council would you would look with an open mind at 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:51.920 this ordinance that seeks to pay individuals who got arrested 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:56.720 in Cincinnati because they violated the curfew they had to 0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:59.639 They were they were made a little bit uncomfortable maybe 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:04.760 during their visit to the Hamilton County Justice Center maybe 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:07.600 they didn't get and I didn't get their potty break 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:12.360 right away. You know, maybe they had to they wait 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:16.760 for a bottle of water. Maybe maybe they're sleeping. Accommodations 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:22.360 weren't all that great. But I was hoping that maybe 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:27.440 one or two at least would look at this ordinance 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:29.639 and say, you know what, we cannot send the message. 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:33.800 And I heard Scottie Johnson the SoundBite of Scottie Johnson 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:36.360 at the newscast, not this past one at the top 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:38.240 of the hour, but the one that rolled at eight there, 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:41.520 and Joe, I should have ask you. I don't know 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:43.880 if you have access to the soundbites that the newsroom has, 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:49.760 but Scottie Johnson said, you know, we need to let 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:55.160 people know that you can't come to Cincinnati break our laws. 0:03:56.080 --> 0:04:00.400 I protest in the streets and then get paid for it. 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:06.480 I mean he prefaced that by saying that, Look, we're 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:11.520 all about peaceful protest First Amendment, and I don't know 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:14.600 anyone who is in disagreement with that. With that, I 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:19.159 certainly am not. I'm about peaceful protest all day long. 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:21.720 You want to go out, you want to make your 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:27.000 voice heard, do it the right way. But if you're 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:29.720 out there protesting and police come up and say, hey, look, 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:33.280 our mayor has put a curfew in place. We had 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:36.839 some damage last night, had some windows broken out in businesses, 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:40.919 Hamilton County Justice Center. We've had a couple of nights 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:47.920 of some serious violence, some property damage. The mayor has said, 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:53.480 no more curfew, eight o'clock, clear the streets. And when 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:59.920 you disobey that lawful order, when you disobey the police, 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:02.680 it does a chance you're going to get arrested. There's 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:04.960 a chance you're going to get booked into the Hamilton 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:10.159 County Justice Center. And so when you do, and there's 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:14.400 more than four hundred of you, yeah, it's going to 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:19.640 take a little time in the process through. And then 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.760 a couple of years after the fact, someone decides, well, 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.680 you know what, maybe we got a lawsuit here. So 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:29.440 they go ahead and sue, and the city decides, you 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.920 know what, we got to settle this thing. I saw 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:35.200 a SoundBite a cut of and I believe it is 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:38.599 the city solicitor, and I must apologize. I do not 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:42.640 know her. I should have looked it up, but I 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:46.920 listened to her telling members of council that if we 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.240 take this to trial, it could cost a lot more. 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:53.680 Oh my god. Yeah, we let a jury get a 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:55.600 hold of this, so this might be wound up being 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:56.520 very expensive. 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:58.120 This could. 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:03.880 This could be you know, it cost a lot of money. 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:08.960 These people had their they had their rights violated. Are 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:17.080 you serious challenge them on this? Hey? How badly were 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:20.520 their rights? Violet? Did anyone get hurt? Was there any 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:24.599 damage done? Did we make a promise down the line 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:28.719 or some of you somewhere beforehand that if you violate 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:33.520 the city curfew, if you disobey the orders of police 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:38.320 and you get arrested, that your trip to the Justice 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:44.120 center is going to be conducted in complete comfort. Do 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.120 we know where the jury is going to come from 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:51.600 on this? And the former prosecutor told me that they 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:53.400 were in a trial like this, this to be a 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:55.080 federal this would be you know, they were going to 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:58.359 see if they violated their federal rights. This'll be a 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:02.880 federal trial. I'm gonna get jurists from Claremont County, from 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:08.600 Brown County, maybe from Highland County, from Warren County, the 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:14.840 Butler County. Not all gonna come from downtown Cincinnati. Not 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:20.880 everyone thinks the same, but we still it's still needs. 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:27.679 You know, this settlement deal needed the approval of city council, 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:34.880 and City Council unanimously approves eight point one million dollars 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:40.320 to settle the protest, two million in change to the 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:45.560 attorneys somewhere between ten and twelve, and according to Fox 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:50.320 nineteen thirteen, grand Per protested, I at least hope they 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:54.960 have to pay taxes in that? Is that asking too much? 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.880 I mean, i'd admit, maybe you can fill me in. 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.480 I've never been part of a settlement like this. Yeah, 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:08.120 I get those things in the mail. On those and 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:11.160 you've probably seen them. They're about the size of them, 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.440 maybe a little bit bigger than a postcard, about the 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:18.120 postcard size, and the printing is very small. Hey, you're 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:22.240 part of the class action lawsuit. Your identity may have 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:25.320 been revealed because you have X, Y or Z credit card, 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:29.200 or you know your your terms of service for your 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:35.439 cable package weren't exactly forthright. And then when you take 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:39.040 the time to read them, you know, you see that, 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.360 you know you're part of the class and you got 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:44.040 these lawyers and those lawyers, and you know this much 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.280 money is going to be set aside, and you're going 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.760 to get a coupon for fifty percent off your next subscription, 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:53.480 or each member of the class is going to be 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.760 entitled to somewhere between twelve dollars and seventy eight cents 0:08:56.800 --> 0:09:01.480 and uh, maybe eighty nine dollars. So I've never been, 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:04.840 and really, is it even is it worth the time? 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:06.880 Is it worth the effort to pay? I have not 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:10.520 seen one yet. Maybe one of these days some class 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:15.320 class action thing will uppear in my mailbox. That'll be 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:17.600 worth the effort to actually fill it out and jump 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:21.800 through whatever hoops you got to jump through. But I've 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.280 never been through part of a class settlement where you 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:28.920 stand to reap a ten or twelve thousand dollars windfall? 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:34.800 Do you pay taxes on that? How is that? How 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:37.520 does that work out? Do you fill out of ten 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:42.520 ninety nine? I should get her court Hartman on Maybe 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:46.880 he knows how these things work. I certainly hope the 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:50.679 lawyers have to pay tax on their two million dollar 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:56.160 plus windfall. I guess that's that's how lawyers work. That's 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:58.120 their income, so I'm sure they got to pay taxes 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:01.000 on that. But if if you're part of the settlement, 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:05.000 do you pay taxes on is it like, is it 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:09.160 like an inheritance? If someone, God forbid, someone in your 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:14.160 family passes away, they leave you some money. In some 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:19.719 cases there's taxes to be paid on that. So hopefully 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:24.120 at least these individuals will feel the sting of the 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:27.600 tax man a little bit. But I was just hoping 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:32.600 that one or two members of council would stand up 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:34.480 and say, you know, we ought to take this thing 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:39.040 to court. I'm not I'm not seeing a lot here 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:42.720 that I'm really concerned about. You know, you got all 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.160 these agitators out there. And yes, I use the word 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:50.720 thugs the other day in reference to those individuals who 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:54.360 would and I saw the video and for the when 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:57.880 I when I first learned of this settlement, the first 0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:01.120 flashback I had of that was the video I saw 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:05.000 of these individuals with a police barricade smashing it into 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.280 a window at the Justice center. Big old you know 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:10.280 what are those windows? Ten feet high? Twelve feet high? 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:17.760 Pretty big window, just smashed it. So yeah, I called 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:24.360 them thugs to my way of thinking, anyone that that 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:27.520 that does that smashes the window of a justice center, 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:33.960 smashes the window, does damage to a small business downtown, 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:38.000 That that to me is acting like a thug. So 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:44.240 I'm gonna I'm gonna stand by them, But I would 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.319 just I would just hope that we would have one 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:50.600 or two members of council that would say, you know, 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:54.160 I'm not seeing a lot of a lot of finding 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:58.120 a fact here. I'm not seeing that strong of a 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:05.800 case that somehow that compels the city to reach into 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:11.120 its pocket to the tune of eight million dollars. And 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:14.360 on the other hand, I'm still I'm still thankful that 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:16.760 we live in a city where, at least to my 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:21.480 way of thinking, eight million dollars means something might seem 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:25.000 like chump change. But the city's going to have to 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:29.920 issue debt as part of this deal to pay off 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:38.240 that settlement, So digging deeper into the hole. And then, 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:40.240 I mean, and how do you know all these claim 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:49.640 four hundred and something claims are legitimate? God, City Council 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:53.280 voted unanimously Wednesday eight point one million dollar settlement. Hundreds 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:56.560 of protesters during the twenty twenty George Floyd posts and 0:12:56.559 --> 0:13:01.400 it was something it didn't even happen in Cincinnati. Let's 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:05.880 go to Claremont County. Alice's on the line, Hi, Alice, 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:09.040 Hi it's great to hear your voices always. 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:10.520 Well, thank you. 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:12.840 Excuse me. A couple of things. 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:17.280 Who was the woman who said these people were abused 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:22.120 by their government being a professional protesters. 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:26.200 That that was a member of council who said that. Yes, yeah, 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.240 I don't know. I don't know which one, but I 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:31.800 heard that sound bite. It might have been yesterday and 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:35.640 it made me gag a little bit. That was disgusting. 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:42.720 And they're professional protesters there. It leaves you breathless. Also 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:47.000 another thing, the Spencer book. I heard you interview him twice. 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:48.920 Holy hell, Robert Spencer. 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:54.439 Yeah, yes, I'm reading it, but I have to stop 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:58.240 and then go back to another book because it's scary. 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:00.560 It's absolutely scary. 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:05.079 And that guy's written like thirty two books. So he 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:07.079 got the one on Mondanie and then he wrote another 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.680 one and we talked about it about the way women 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:12.000 in Islam are treated. 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:14.000 It's it's scary. 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.520 Have I know this is not a literary show, but 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:19.680 I have to recommend the book. It's called How to 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:23.760 Test Negative for Stupid but not in Washington. It's by 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:25.120 Senator John Kennedy. 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:26.680 Ah, he's one of my favorites. 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:30.120 He is one of my favorites. He does explain the 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:34.160 machinations in Washington, but with his own brand of humor. 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:39.560 He describes one unnamed senator as being someone who will 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:42.080 pat you on the back, but he will also unplug 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:47.160 your life support system to charge your cell phone. 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:51.760 That's pretty funny. Yeah, that's great. That's a great right there. 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:54.440 Yes it is. And the book is full of them. 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:58.800 And what a good man he is. It's worth reading. 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.840 It's there's a lot to it, but it's light reading. 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:03.960 You can you can read it, you know, just before 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:04.560 going to bed. 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:08.480 That's fantastic. I've actually got a SoundBite from Senator Kennedy tonight, 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:11.240 and he was on the floor of the Senate uh 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:16.880 describing the situation in Minneapolis, and a couple of couple 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:18.520 of memorable lines in there. 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:22.640 What has taken so long to goo after this this 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:27.640 ill han omar? She has she I mean, she has 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:31.280 not made a secret about what she's all about and 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:34.200 why why has it taken this long? 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:37.280 No, she she doesn't. She doesn't like America very much, 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:39.960 and she she ought to be falling to her knees. 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:45.320 And and the thing is the this whole thing with 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:50.400 what's going on with the Somalian community in Minneapolis is 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:53.680 drawing a lot of attention to her. And and right 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.880 now there's a lot of different news organizations that are 0:15:56.880 --> 0:16:01.040 focusing on her net worth. That when she came to Congress, 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:04.280 I believe her total net worth was in the neighborhood 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:08.480 of sixty thousand dollars and now she is has a network, 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:12.200 a networth that is in excess of thirty million dollars 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:15.120 And a lot of people are asking a question, how 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:17.080 did that happen in that span of time? 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.240 And then a lot of the money was was went 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:23.360 to Bukaharam and and. 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:26.880 That ris organization in some model. 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:29.200 Yes, and they're part of al Qaeda. And remember the 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:32.280 thing with the girls that the Obamas called our girls 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:38.640 that you remember that, Yes, that funded Bokaham when they 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:44.080 were when they were abusing those women. You know what 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:48.240 is taking so long? This woman's life is worthy of 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:51.920 publishing in the inquir in the in the National Inquiry, 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:57.880 that that tabloid her personal life is unbelievable, and she's 0:16:57.880 --> 0:16:59.080 a member of Congress. 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:04.679 Yeah, all right, Alice, I appreciate the call as always, 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:05.840 but we got to run. We got to get to 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:06.240 a break. 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:07.680 Of course, have a good night. 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:09.960 Thank you, Alice, Thank you for listening, Alice. I appreciate 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:14.359 Alice from Amelia, such a loyal listener and a wonderful person. 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:16.679 Always great to hear her voice. We gotta go, We 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:18.560 gotta get to a break. A little news coming up 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:19.840 at the bottom of the hour, but more time for 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:21.720 your phone calls on the other side. Five one, three, 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:24.760 seven four nine, seven thousand, one, eight hundred the Big One. 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:27.400 It is the Wednesday night edition of the Midweek Crisis 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:37.400 on seven hundred WLW seven hundred WLW nine thirty eight 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:40.119 day Girls til midnight tonight, Wednesday Night edition of the 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:44.520 Midweek Crisis. Just wrapping up my thoughts on the eight 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:46.760 point one million dollar settlement going to go out to 0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:51.439 the protesters who were in downtown Cincinnati after the George 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:56.040 Floyd Black Lives Matter all that crap, four hundred and 0:17:56.040 --> 0:18:00.480 seventy nine protesters. They'll get between According to five nineteen 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:04.919 twelve and thirteen thousand. To qualify for the payout, the 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:09.480 protesters could not have additional charges beyond violating the curfew. 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:12.160 How do we know that? How do we know that 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:15.359 those are the people that are going to get the money? 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:21.840 How do we know that someone who broke a window, 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:25.520 someone who damaged property, there were even shots that were 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:29.359 fired at police and first responders. How do we know 0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:34.080 the people who engaged in that activity are not getting 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:38.160 part of the payout. I will reiterate and say again, 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:41.520 I believe the Cincinnati police did an outstanding job with 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:45.240 the factors that they were presented with. Council Member Scotti 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:49.000 Johnson said during the vote they had to establish law 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:53.560 and order. That's what they did, along with keeping citizens, businesses, 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:58.000 and even the protesters safe. So they're Scottie Johnson standing 0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:00.760 strong with police. Then he says them in the back 0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:09.080 and votes in favor of this. So the part of 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:15.360 the settlement means that the city is going to have 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:22.400 to come up with policy and operational changes and we're 0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:25.520 going to have new rules for Cincinnati police when it 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:30.480 comes to focusing on large scale civil unrest events. So 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:33.320 I can't wait to see what that looks like. So 0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:38.679 we can avoid another situation like that. And so the 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:42.080 message has gone out that you can come to Cincinnati, 0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:44.320 you can protest. And now I'm looking at the story 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:50.560 from from Channel five says that the majority of people 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:57.520 on the lawsuit are not Cincinnati residents, but they went 0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:00.439 ahead and signed off on it. Hey, Cincinnati police did 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:04.400 a great job. We can be very proud of them. 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:09.040 Then stand up for them, say no to this to 0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:14.600 It's too late for that now, but I held out 0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:19.639 hope that at least one would have the spine to 0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:23.639 stand up to this. That did not happen. Hi lawmakers 0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:26.359 will sent a bill changing marijuana policy to the desk 0:20:26.440 --> 0:20:31.200 of Mike DeWine, creating a slew of new criminal offenses, 0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:36.000 such as buying weed in Michigan to smoke in a 0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:42.320 public area. Buying was So if you buy weed in 0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:46.040 Michigan now, and I'll be honest with you, I've not 0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:51.119 followed this story that closely about the cannabis and the 0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:56.360 marijuana and all that. I've reached out to state Representative 0:20:57.720 --> 0:21:01.879 Adam Bird and he will join us tomorrow night. So 0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:05.400 if you're interested in the whatever the rules are now 0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:10.960 as it relates to marijuana, you can check out Adam 0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:15.879 Bird tomorrow night. We'll talk about that. This is do 0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:20.840 you buy a lottery tickets when the when the jackpot 0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:22.720 gets big, I'll be honest with you. 0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:23.040 I do. 0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:25.200 My wife says, Hey, you got to you know She'll 0:21:25.240 --> 0:21:29.960 send me a message jackpots up to you know, seventy 0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:32.639 million or ninety million or one hundred million, whatever it is, 0:21:34.960 --> 0:21:36.760 and I'll go and get them. And then she'll say, 0:21:36.760 --> 0:21:38.159 did you check it? And I said, I don't need 0:21:38.200 --> 0:21:42.920 to check it. Why not? Because if somebody wins, it's 0:21:43.119 --> 0:21:46.760 it's a news story. And so I was getting ready 0:21:46.760 --> 0:21:49.320 for the show tonight and I came across this headline 0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:52.600 winning a lottery ticket worth eleven point four million dollars 0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:57.800 sold at Ohio convenience store. So, see that's the headline. 0:21:57.800 --> 0:22:00.280 I'm waiting. That headline right there alerts me to the 0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:03.760 fact because you know, you win him. I put them 0:22:03.760 --> 0:22:06.679 in the you know, in the console of the car 0:22:07.040 --> 0:22:08.479 or I got. There's a drawer at home. We throw 0:22:08.560 --> 0:22:12.480 them in a drawer. When I see that headline, then 0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:14.840 I'm thinking, well, I mean, do I have a winner 0:22:14.840 --> 0:22:18.240 in there? And I read the story and it reads, 0:22:18.240 --> 0:22:20.879 according to Channel five, lottery ticket worth over eleven million 0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:25.520 dollars sold at a convenience store in Ohio. According to 0:22:25.560 --> 0:22:30.000 the Ohio Lottery, ticket was sold for Saturday's lottery drawing. Well, 0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:33.080 nobody won the big powerball jackpot yet, an Ohio player 0:22:33.200 --> 0:22:38.159 lucked out. The Ohio Lottery said Smitty's Cruise Through in 0:22:38.240 --> 0:22:43.320 Tip City sold a ticket worth eleven point four million 0:22:43.760 --> 0:22:47.560 and Saturday's drawing. I have not been to Tip City 0:22:47.600 --> 0:22:55.399 anytime recently, so I don't need to don't need to 0:22:55.480 --> 0:22:57.520 check my tickets. But if you're listening and you've been 0:22:57.520 --> 0:23:00.679 to Tip City lately and you got a ticket at 0:23:00.680 --> 0:23:05.040 Smitty's Cruise Through, find it, check it out. Could be 0:23:05.040 --> 0:23:09.680 a big winner. The ticket needs to be claimed, said 0:23:09.720 --> 0:23:14.399 the Ohio Lottery. The Mill Creek Food martin Youngstown also 0:23:14.520 --> 0:23:17.760 sold a ticket where one hundred grand. So there you go, 0:23:19.200 --> 0:23:21.800 the Mill Creek Food martin Youngstown. I have not been 0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:25.560 to either establishment, so I. 0:23:25.520 --> 0:23:26.200 Am out of luck. 0:23:29.840 --> 0:23:33.120 But I'll eventually check him in. You know, I get 0:23:33.160 --> 0:23:34.520 to that, I get to the point where I get 0:23:34.520 --> 0:23:38.920 a stack of I don't know, fifteen to twenty of 0:23:38.920 --> 0:23:41.080 them and take him in here and you put them 0:23:41.119 --> 0:23:44.440 in the machine. Not a winner. Not a winner. Every 0:23:44.440 --> 0:23:47.200 once in a while you get one that wins and 0:23:47.280 --> 0:23:53.440 two or three dollars or something like that. Woo oh man, 0:23:53.480 --> 0:23:54.919 here's a story. I was saying. I mean, I'm going 0:23:54.960 --> 0:23:57.880 to talk to my buddy Curtis Alcobaic. This New York 0:23:57.920 --> 0:24:02.480 Times has invented a new genre of report covering big 0:24:02.520 --> 0:24:05.600 stories showing Democrats in a bad light years after the 0:24:05.640 --> 0:24:10.040 event that matters. At the tail end of twenty twenty 0:24:10.119 --> 0:24:12.560 five of the Times has freshly broken news that the 0:24:12.640 --> 0:24:18.199 Biden administration flooded the country with illegal immigrants, partly for 0:24:18.280 --> 0:24:23.280 the ideological, ideological and partisan reasons and partly out of 0:24:23.280 --> 0:24:30.280 shearing competence. Who knew? Four thousand words story fourteen colleagues 0:24:30.320 --> 0:24:39.000 contributing additional reporting and research, Very well sourced. It dissects 0:24:39.040 --> 0:24:43.600 Biden's immigration misdeeds and missteps over the years of his 0:24:43.680 --> 0:24:49.040 four years in office. But and he writes, great, but 0:24:49.080 --> 0:24:52.280 why not do that? Why the guy is actually in power? 0:24:54.200 --> 0:24:57.080 Immigration isn't suddenly an issue today. It's the biggest domestic 0:24:57.119 --> 0:25:00.719 story since COVID end, even before COVID, which I call 0:25:00.800 --> 0:25:05.760 the wuhun before in twenty sixteen, Donald Trump and an 0:25:05.760 --> 0:25:11.159 immigration at the forefront of presidential politics and private Democrats 0:25:11.160 --> 0:25:13.639 close to Biden were discussing the crisis all along. They 0:25:13.680 --> 0:25:16.480 knew his agenda, and they knew it would only make 0:25:16.520 --> 0:25:22.080 it worse. Biden's policy advisors sounded the alarm before he 0:25:22.240 --> 0:25:27.679 even won the election. The Time acknowledges this. In August 0:25:27.720 --> 0:25:31.480 of twenty twenty, several AIDS wrote a memo cautioning mister 0:25:31.560 --> 0:25:37.119 Biden's inner circle that his promise of lighter immigration enforcement, 0:25:37.200 --> 0:25:39.879 coupled with a pent up demand from the Trump years 0:25:40.800 --> 0:25:46.040 and economic hardship from the WUHAN could spike or could 0:25:46.080 --> 0:25:51.879 provoke a spike in border crossings. And that is exactly 0:25:52.160 --> 0:25:55.880 what happened. And so I guess I got to give 0:25:55.880 --> 0:25:59.560 credit to these people who were trying to advise the 0:25:59.600 --> 0:26:06.800 Biden campaign, tell them what was up. They actually they 0:26:07.040 --> 0:26:14.879 were right. Biden didn't listen. Democrats are fully aware of 0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:17.240 what they were getting the getting the country into, and 0:26:17.280 --> 0:26:22.040 they did it anyway. Voters didn't know, however, because the 0:26:22.080 --> 0:26:27.000 media didn't do the reporting necessary to inform them until 0:26:27.440 --> 0:26:31.199 just now. Well, I wouldn't say all the media, but 0:26:31.240 --> 0:26:33.000 you know what, but you know what he's talking about. 0:26:33.040 --> 0:26:36.879 The New York Times, NBC, CBS, ABC, the mainstream media 0:26:37.359 --> 0:26:41.560 talk about it all the time. We were talking about 0:26:41.600 --> 0:26:46.359 it back then. And so when the border started going 0:26:46.440 --> 0:26:49.840 crazy right after the Biden election, the people who listened 0:26:49.840 --> 0:26:54.119 to this show, people who listened to this station. People 0:26:54.160 --> 0:26:57.000 who listened to talk radio in general were not surprised. 0:26:58.160 --> 0:27:04.520 We knew it was coming. And this past Sunday, the 0:27:04.640 --> 0:27:06.680 New York Times had it on the front page of 0:27:06.720 --> 0:27:18.720 the paper. Very very impressive. Uh, let me see that. Uh. 0:27:19.040 --> 0:27:21.439 Even when the president was visibly failing, liberals in the 0:27:21.480 --> 0:27:24.280 media dismissed what was right before their eyes. A friend 0:27:24.320 --> 0:27:27.439 who was a lonely conservative columnist at an other nation's 0:27:27.480 --> 0:27:31.640 major metropolitan newspaper told me one subject he was explicitly 0:27:31.720 --> 0:27:38.120 forbidden to write about was Biden's age and infirmity. Well, 0:27:38.160 --> 0:27:41.240 I'm sorry, man, if if if you are a columnist 0:27:41.920 --> 0:27:46.000 at a newspaper and you are forbidden to write about 0:27:46.080 --> 0:27:51.560 what is blatantly obvious and and at some point you 0:27:51.640 --> 0:27:54.800 got to you gotta step away from that. And it's 0:27:54.840 --> 0:27:58.080 just to my way of thinking anyway. The code of 0:27:58.119 --> 0:28:02.639 silence backfired spectacular saddling the Democrats with not one but 0:28:02.680 --> 0:28:05.600 two unelectable candidates at the top of their presidential ticket 0:28:05.640 --> 0:28:09.040 last year, leaving the left in the state of shock 0:28:09.119 --> 0:28:13.080 that Americans really did figure out what was happening with 0:28:13.119 --> 0:28:17.240 immigration and really were mad about it. Better late than never, though, 0:28:18.520 --> 0:28:23.120 how Biden ignored warnings at Lost and Lost America's faith 0:28:23.119 --> 0:28:25.800 and immigration does not teach an important lesson beyond the 0:28:25.800 --> 0:28:30.000 one about what happens when radical policies going criticized by 0:28:30.000 --> 0:28:36.640 the media and internal criticism by the samee Democrats get ignored. 0:28:38.480 --> 0:28:42.000 It also showcases the success of Texas Governor Greg Abbott's 0:28:41.960 --> 0:28:46.120 strategy by busting the border crisis straight into the blue cities. 0:28:49.680 --> 0:28:51.800 And it makes the point that I have made so 0:28:51.880 --> 0:28:57.800 many times when it comes to this subject, about how 0:28:57.960 --> 0:29:04.640 exceedingly poor the media in this country serves the American public, 0:29:04.680 --> 0:29:07.240 the people who pay attention, the people who want to 0:29:07.280 --> 0:29:11.960 know what's going on. I mean, thank god that we 0:29:12.040 --> 0:29:13.960 had the you know that we can we can find 0:29:14.000 --> 0:29:17.080 out on our own that there are alternative news sources 0:29:17.120 --> 0:29:20.240 out there that are not afraid of the print what's 0:29:20.280 --> 0:29:25.440 going on, not afraid though, to publish the truth, even 0:29:25.480 --> 0:29:27.760 when you may not like it, even when it hurts 0:29:27.800 --> 0:29:32.880 a little bit. I mean, there's there's some stuff that 0:29:32.920 --> 0:29:35.560 Trump is doing now that I'm not sure that I'm 0:29:35.640 --> 0:29:40.600 totally in agreement with. I haven't read enough about this 0:29:40.680 --> 0:29:43.640 twelve billion dollar bailout for the farmers. If you're a farmer, 0:29:44.200 --> 0:29:47.720 do you need a twelve billion dollar bailout from the 0:29:47.760 --> 0:29:54.000 federal government. I saw where the Trump administration wants to 0:29:54.080 --> 0:30:00.880 sell more AI chips to the Chinese. Is that is 0:30:00.880 --> 0:30:05.080 that something we ought to be doing. I don't know. 0:30:07.960 --> 0:30:10.440 It seems to me China is perfectly capable of making 0:30:10.480 --> 0:30:15.600 their own chips. I mean, on one hand, selling stuff 0:30:15.680 --> 0:30:20.840 is good. Maybe those chips can be can be programmed 0:30:20.840 --> 0:30:25.320 as by on the Chinese. I don't know, but at 0:30:25.400 --> 0:30:29.680 least I know about it. At least I don't have 0:30:29.720 --> 0:30:35.280 to rely on one or two outlets. And I had 0:30:35.280 --> 0:30:37.320 a call over I was I was on over the weekend, 0:30:39.280 --> 0:30:41.280 and I had a call over the weekend, and this 0:30:41.320 --> 0:30:45.160 gal was trying to take me to task on things 0:30:45.200 --> 0:30:49.480 I was saying about illegal immigrants, illegal aliens in this country, 0:30:50.680 --> 0:30:55.240 and she was talking about she was talking about ice 0:30:55.360 --> 0:31:01.080 and the roundups and how American citizens or being taken 0:31:01.080 --> 0:31:04.440 away in the dead of the night and all this 0:31:04.520 --> 0:31:07.360 kind of stuff, and she was just just mistaken about that. 0:31:09.800 --> 0:31:12.200 And I asked her where she got her news, and 0:31:12.240 --> 0:31:15.640 she didn't want to answer the question. God bless her. 0:31:16.360 --> 0:31:18.920 She sounded like she was a little bit older, nice lady, 0:31:19.640 --> 0:31:23.720 but just didn't have the facts and was trying to 0:31:23.720 --> 0:31:25.960 take me in a task on some of the things, 0:31:26.200 --> 0:31:29.760 and and and you could tell that she had And 0:31:29.760 --> 0:31:31.600 I don't know why she was listening to me to 0:31:31.640 --> 0:31:35.680 begin with, but you could tell that she had. She 0:31:35.800 --> 0:31:38.640 had not heard the things that I was saying at 0:31:38.880 --> 0:31:43.680 if she had not encountered that before. And she was 0:31:44.560 --> 0:31:47.840 pretty convinced that what I was saying was not true. 0:31:48.480 --> 0:31:50.120 Rick and Western Hills, what's going on? 0:31:51.520 --> 0:31:54.479 I'm glad you said something about these AI computer chips, 0:31:54.480 --> 0:31:56.480 because I think this is a really big story and 0:31:56.520 --> 0:31:59.920 everyone's missing it. The reason is is because I've seen 0:32:00.080 --> 0:32:02.840 about two years ago they were showing pictures of this 0:32:03.000 --> 0:32:06.800 robot army China was building in these giant robot dogs 0:32:06.800 --> 0:32:10.080 that shot like big guns and fire out of them, 0:32:10.840 --> 0:32:13.960 and these things were like that. They they only had prototypes, 0:32:14.040 --> 0:32:16.800 and I was thinking, well, if China's putting all this 0:32:16.920 --> 0:32:20.280 money in robotics to building robot a robot army, we 0:32:20.400 --> 0:32:23.080 sell them all the AI supercomputer chips, they'll put them 0:32:23.120 --> 0:32:25.440 writing them robots and might be end enough have to 0:32:25.480 --> 0:32:27.320 fight them someday. And that's kind of stupid. 0:32:27.520 --> 0:32:31.480 I hope that I hope that doesn't happen. But yeah, 0:32:31.560 --> 0:32:34.000 no does when I when I see headlines like that 0:32:34.000 --> 0:32:37.959 that we are selling uh China ai chips, it makes it. 0:32:37.960 --> 0:32:41.040 It makes anything. First of all, their spying apparatus must 0:32:41.120 --> 0:32:42.880 not be as good as it used to be because 0:32:42.880 --> 0:32:45.320 they used to spy on us and and steal all 0:32:45.360 --> 0:32:47.840 that kind of stuff. I guess maybe they're not able 0:32:47.880 --> 0:32:49.280 to steal it now they're just gonna go ahead and 0:32:49.280 --> 0:32:49.880 buy it now. 0:32:50.520 --> 0:32:53.840 It was this Taiwan East company. They have to get 0:32:54.160 --> 0:32:56.760 permission in order to sell them to China, And I 0:32:56.760 --> 0:32:59.320 don't understand why they would do that at all, because 0:32:59.440 --> 0:33:01.320 China might use that on them too, you know. 0:33:01.600 --> 0:33:04.640 Yeah, that that's uh, I'm gonna have to look at that. 0:33:04.840 --> 0:33:09.440 But yeah, a Chinese army of robot dogs that spit 0:33:09.520 --> 0:33:12.560 fire and shoot guns. That that's a that sounds like 0:33:12.600 --> 0:33:14.080 a nightmare scenario right there. 0:33:14.920 --> 0:33:17.280 Yeah, now do you defended? They can think on their own, 0:33:17.520 --> 0:33:21.680 just like like a living soldier attacking you know, white Americans. 0:33:22.200 --> 0:33:22.480 Whatever. 0:33:22.680 --> 0:33:24.840 That's horrible, Rick, Thanks for the call. I appreciate it 0:33:25.080 --> 0:33:27.920 all right there you go, Rick, Rick, it doesn't like 0:33:28.000 --> 0:33:32.880 the idea of Chinese built dogs shooting guns and and 0:33:33.000 --> 0:33:34.880 uh and breathing fire. We you gotta get to a 0:33:34.880 --> 0:33:37.120 break news coming up top of the hour, and then 0:33:37.400 --> 0:33:39.320 my buddy Steve Baff will be here and we'll kick 0:33:39.400 --> 0:33:41.960 around some some of the day's news events with him 0:33:42.080 --> 0:33:44.400 as we roll on till midnight tonight, Wednesday night edition 0:33:44.440 --> 0:33:55.600 of the Midweek Crisis on seven hundred WLW. I'm back 0:33:55.640 --> 0:33:57.920 on the big one, seven hundred W l W ten 0:33:58.000 --> 0:34:01.800 o eight, Wednesday edition of the Midweek Crisis. I mean, 0:34:01.800 --> 0:34:07.760 as we rolled till midnight tonight and joining me from Bloomington, Indiana, 0:34:07.800 --> 0:34:10.080 where he's basking in the glory of that great hoo's 0:34:10.080 --> 0:34:13.640 your victory or the Ohio State Buckeyes, my buddy Jim 0:34:13.680 --> 0:34:17.960 Faff of the Conservative Caucus And Jim, how is everything 0:34:17.960 --> 0:34:20.720 on Bloomington these days? The number one team in the country? 0:34:21.040 --> 0:34:21.560 How about that. 0:34:23.000 --> 0:34:27.680 Pretty amazing, amazing one. All my all my fans who 0:34:27.760 --> 0:34:30.320 know that I loved W A L W and following 0:34:30.360 --> 0:34:33.400 it all my life, that that love the buck eyes, 0:34:33.520 --> 0:34:36.080 I I don't dislike them, but I can't couldn't be 0:34:36.160 --> 0:34:36.760 more pleased. 0:34:39.560 --> 0:34:41.759 Well, I'm glad, I'm glad for you, and that that 0:34:41.800 --> 0:34:47.600 coach is the heartbreak was we learned or later this week, 0:34:47.680 --> 0:34:52.720 after the after the the Hoosier's victory, that that coach 0:34:52.840 --> 0:34:56.040 had actually interviewed here at the University of Cincinnati. 0:34:56.280 --> 0:34:59.279 And I hadn't heard that. Oh my goodness. Yeah, and 0:34:59.480 --> 0:35:03.439 Signetti is excellent, Like his resume actually is very good. 0:35:03.520 --> 0:35:07.880 And what he's done in some programs, particularly James Madison. 0:35:07.920 --> 0:35:10.120 I mean, he kept James Madison in the top twenty 0:35:10.160 --> 0:35:12.719 five for much of his time there. What a what 0:35:12.800 --> 0:35:13.799 a fantastic coach. 0:35:13.880 --> 0:35:15.759 Yeah, but we think, you know, here in Cincinnati, we 0:35:15.800 --> 0:35:17.399 spend a lot of a lot of time thinking about 0:35:17.440 --> 0:35:19.319 what might have been. And you know, maybe if he 0:35:19.440 --> 0:35:22.840 was coaching the Bearcats now, who knows. But in any case, 0:35:23.400 --> 0:35:25.759 let me ask you this here. Here's the main question 0:35:25.800 --> 0:35:28.640 I wanted to ask you tonight. Is it is it 0:35:28.680 --> 0:35:34.319 a foregone conclusion at this point that the Republicans are 0:35:34.320 --> 0:35:37.960 going to lose the House in the twenty twenty six midterms. 0:35:39.920 --> 0:35:48.600 No, But the dynamic, the the historical dynamic, says that 0:35:48.880 --> 0:35:53.160 Democrats are very likely to take the House. 0:35:52.960 --> 0:35:56.400 Back the party the party out of power, picks up seats. 0:35:56.719 --> 0:36:00.560 But and the reason I asked is because I'm flipping 0:36:00.560 --> 0:36:03.080 around watching different shows and I'm just seeing a lot 0:36:03.200 --> 0:36:06.960 more analysis right now that is leaning towards that narrative. 0:36:07.200 --> 0:36:10.160 Am I Are you seeing the same thing that I'm seeing? 0:36:10.280 --> 0:36:11.960 And when it comes to the analysis on it. 0:36:13.800 --> 0:36:17.759 Well, I am. But I would maintain that one of 0:36:17.760 --> 0:36:24.240 the biggest reasons that analysis is so prevalent is because 0:36:24.280 --> 0:36:28.400 of the fact that, frankly, Republicans in general aren't doing 0:36:28.440 --> 0:36:32.400 a very good job of messaging what's going on. I 0:36:32.440 --> 0:36:34.360 would also say, I don't know if you happen to 0:36:34.400 --> 0:36:37.239 see it, and I agreed with him. I've been on 0:36:37.320 --> 0:36:40.520 his podcast before, but Tim cool of the Tip of 0:36:40.560 --> 0:36:45.160 Tim Cast was rightly out there talking about how, you know, 0:36:45.239 --> 0:36:47.560 since Charlie Kirks that you would think that that would 0:36:47.600 --> 0:36:52.000 be a polarizing and you know a bit of momentum 0:36:52.120 --> 0:36:56.280 for the conservative causes and Republicans in general, and frankly, 0:36:56.280 --> 0:36:58.440 we've been breaking up ever since because you've got this 0:36:58.680 --> 0:37:04.560 stupid team of Owens narrative that that keeping USA is 0:37:04.880 --> 0:37:08.520 behind his death, and then you've got the Nick Flint 0:37:08.560 --> 0:37:12.080 has interview with Pecker Carlson and all the backlash related 0:37:12.080 --> 0:37:16.800 to that and and the expanding, uh, you know, Israel debate. 0:37:16.960 --> 0:37:19.640 That's happening, and there are a lot of things that 0:37:19.680 --> 0:37:24.120 are kind of breaking apart the grassroots. But then on 0:37:24.200 --> 0:37:28.920 top of that, you've got this natural tendency amongst leadership 0:37:29.120 --> 0:37:33.680 in the Republican Party nationally to really try to grab 0:37:33.719 --> 0:37:37.200 the feet out of the jaws of victory. A lot 0:37:38.560 --> 0:37:41.360 it does, and they suck at you like they don't. 0:37:41.400 --> 0:37:43.719 There is there are a decent amount of members of 0:37:43.760 --> 0:37:47.440 Congress on the Republican side who are supportive of Donald Trump, 0:37:47.960 --> 0:37:52.440 but you still have this pretty powerful, sometimes contingent that 0:37:52.520 --> 0:37:54.840 doesn't want anything that Donald Trump's trying to do. I 0:37:54.880 --> 0:37:58.920 mean evidence by just this evening a procedural vote in 0:37:58.960 --> 0:38:03.880 the House to try to overturn Donald Trump's executive Order, 0:38:04.280 --> 0:38:07.560 which gets rid of a massive amount of collective bargaining 0:38:07.840 --> 0:38:10.760 amongst federal employees. Now there should be no collective bargaining 0:38:10.760 --> 0:38:15.080 amongst federal employees at all. And yet you've got thirteen 0:38:15.120 --> 0:38:18.880 members that sided with Democrats to try to overturn his 0:38:18.960 --> 0:38:22.520 executive order. That there is a contingent in the Republican 0:38:22.560 --> 0:38:25.720 Party that just hates Donald Trump. They're not highly vocal 0:38:25.760 --> 0:38:28.359 about it right now, but they undermine him in every turn. 0:38:28.800 --> 0:38:32.400 So all those things seem to work against it. Nonetheless, 0:38:32.880 --> 0:38:37.320 you've got the redistricting efforts that have added more opportunities 0:38:37.680 --> 0:38:40.040 for Republicans to gain seats. So we'll see how it 0:38:40.040 --> 0:38:43.200 plays out. And if Donald Trump can get his economic 0:38:43.239 --> 0:38:45.680 message out, which he's already started to do in Pennsylvania 0:38:45.760 --> 0:38:51.120 last night, then you know, that may help them, you know, 0:38:51.200 --> 0:38:54.759 push through the headwinds and get to something positive in 0:38:54.800 --> 0:38:55.719 November of next year. 0:38:55.800 --> 0:38:59.399 Yeah, it always seems that you get we get these 0:38:59.440 --> 0:39:04.080 cycles where you get Conservatives just win on issue after 0:39:04.200 --> 0:39:08.200 issue after issue, and then at some point the Democrats 0:39:08.280 --> 0:39:11.239 just sort of put things on cruise control, and then 0:39:11.760 --> 0:39:16.040 it seems like because there's maybe a void in the 0:39:16.080 --> 0:39:18.960 news cycle, it seems like Republicans just sort of have 0:39:19.080 --> 0:39:22.600 to self destruct. And we're saying and we're just we're 0:39:22.640 --> 0:39:25.359 seeing that, like you said, we're you know, people are 0:39:25.400 --> 0:39:27.680 starting to chip off and then get away from Trump 0:39:27.719 --> 0:39:31.359 and get away from his message, and we're seeing the criticize, 0:39:31.719 --> 0:39:35.359 the criticisms come out, and Marjorie Taylor Green people are 0:39:35.400 --> 0:39:38.040 starting to look at her like, you know, she's being 0:39:38.080 --> 0:39:41.360 seduced by the leftist media now and kind of enjoying 0:39:41.400 --> 0:39:44.040 that spotlight. And I don't know. I don't know if 0:39:44.040 --> 0:39:46.359 that if people look at that and they think that's 0:39:46.400 --> 0:39:48.440 attractive and they want a little piece of that action, 0:39:49.120 --> 0:39:51.440 I just I don't understand the mindset. Sometimes. 0:39:52.520 --> 0:39:57.680 Well, essentially, what does happen is people end up going 0:39:58.360 --> 0:40:03.080 to Washington, d C. And they if they're not determined 0:40:04.040 --> 0:40:08.440 to keep from being bought in and grabbed up, you know, 0:40:08.560 --> 0:40:13.520 sucked into the system, then they eventually will be listen. Washington, 0:40:13.600 --> 0:40:17.880 DC's crazy town. When I went to Capitol Hill to 0:40:17.920 --> 0:40:20.680 be chief of staff for my friend and continuing friend, 0:40:20.719 --> 0:40:24.640 Tim hills Camp, former Member of Congress from Kansas, and 0:40:24.680 --> 0:40:26.960 he asked me to come and be his chief of staff. 0:40:27.440 --> 0:40:29.200 And one of the things that he and I did, 0:40:29.480 --> 0:40:32.680 he slept in his office. He didn't go rent some 0:40:32.840 --> 0:40:35.239 place in town. I had to end up renting some 0:40:35.360 --> 0:40:39.360 place that I lived. But neither of us, both of 0:40:39.400 --> 0:40:41.520 us decided there's no way that we're going to be 0:40:41.640 --> 0:40:46.240 involved in the uh, you know, the the cocktail party crowd. 0:40:46.600 --> 0:40:49.120 I mean not that we never went to things. He 0:40:49.160 --> 0:40:52.680 would have fundraisers sometimes there and or or there would 0:40:52.680 --> 0:40:55.640 be some member that we were good friends with, and 0:40:56.760 --> 0:41:01.000 we we'd attend that, but really we spent our evenings 0:41:01.160 --> 0:41:03.120 just kind of strategizing, what are we going to do, 0:41:03.239 --> 0:41:06.719 how are we going to advance the agenda. I was 0:41:06.800 --> 0:41:09.720 putting together meetings of chiefs of staff. I've had forty 0:41:09.719 --> 0:41:12.400 to sixty of them meeting where I'm trying to urge 0:41:12.440 --> 0:41:16.640 them to carry on the Tea Party movement thing. And 0:41:16.719 --> 0:41:18.640 I never bought into it. In fact, right now I'm 0:41:18.640 --> 0:41:21.799 sitting in Bloomington, Indiana in my house. I never have 0:41:21.960 --> 0:41:24.440 purchased a home in the DC area, even though I'm 0:41:24.480 --> 0:41:27.640 running an organization there now and I serve two members 0:41:27.680 --> 0:41:29.719 of Congress. There was no way I was going to 0:41:29.719 --> 0:41:32.640 be part of that. Most people, though, even the good ones, 0:41:33.440 --> 0:41:37.319 end up being part of the system there. And if 0:41:37.320 --> 0:41:40.920 you're not dog determined to the point of being disliked 0:41:40.920 --> 0:41:45.319 a lot to keep yourself separated from that and not 0:41:45.400 --> 0:41:48.080 become part of it, you will become part of it. 0:41:48.200 --> 0:41:50.040 I think that's what happened to Marjorie Taylor Green. She 0:41:50.560 --> 0:41:53.520 went and started helping out Kevin McCarthy for a while, 0:41:53.560 --> 0:41:56.799 and then obviously this recent debacle. I mean, it just 0:41:56.920 --> 0:41:59.960 happens to some people sometimes. Thomas Masthew, who I worked for, 0:42:00.360 --> 0:42:03.400 always talks about that pin that he wears. He calls 0:42:03.400 --> 0:42:07.120 it my precious, referring to you know, the Gullum and 0:42:07.160 --> 0:42:09.920 the ring, ye in the Lord of the Ring, right, 0:42:10.200 --> 0:42:12.120 And then that really does happen to people. You know, 0:42:12.239 --> 0:42:14.320 you get pushed around, you don't have to go through 0:42:14.360 --> 0:42:18.719 the the the metal detectors, and you're treated so well 0:42:18.719 --> 0:42:20.880 at the Capital as a member of Congress, and suddenly 0:42:21.160 --> 0:42:23.600 you think you are somebody, and frankly, most of them 0:42:23.600 --> 0:42:24.800 aren't anybody. 0:42:25.040 --> 0:42:25.239 You know. 0:42:25.320 --> 0:42:28.160 I look as an example of what I'm talking about, 0:42:28.239 --> 0:42:32.080 I look at the story when you go back a 0:42:32.120 --> 0:42:36.280 few weeks when you had Alyssa Slotkin and Mark Kelly 0:42:36.320 --> 0:42:38.719 and some of these other Democrats put this video out 0:42:39.239 --> 0:42:42.600 about you know, if you're in if you're in the military, 0:42:42.640 --> 0:42:46.960 you don't have to obey illegal orders, suggesting that somehow 0:42:47.000 --> 0:42:49.719 the Trump administration is giving illegal orders to our men 0:42:49.760 --> 0:42:53.480 and women in uniform. And then miraculously, this whole narrative 0:42:53.520 --> 0:42:58.440 starts up with the drug boats being blown out of 0:42:58.440 --> 0:43:03.359 the water from from Vannezuela and something illegal is going 0:43:03.400 --> 0:43:06.400 on there. And we had all this pressure build up 0:43:06.440 --> 0:43:09.560 on Pete Hegseth and people want to impeach him now 0:43:09.600 --> 0:43:13.560 and Chuck Schumer was demanding to see the video. And 0:43:13.920 --> 0:43:16.440 even though members of Congress had already seen the video, 0:43:16.560 --> 0:43:19.240 and Chuck Schumer was going to go out and demand 0:43:19.680 --> 0:43:22.760 things from Pete Hegseeth, and Pete Hegseth stood his ground. 0:43:23.200 --> 0:43:25.239 He said, look, I'm in the right here. We know 0:43:25.280 --> 0:43:27.680 we're in the right. We know what's going on, and 0:43:27.920 --> 0:43:30.960 they and Pete Hegseth has not caved. And Chuck Schumer 0:43:31.040 --> 0:43:32.960 came out of that meeting today with his tail between 0:43:32.960 --> 0:43:36.160 his legs and said, well, it didn't work out that well, 0:43:36.360 --> 0:43:40.640 and so it And I look at that as an example, 0:43:40.840 --> 0:43:44.919 just a microcosm of if you know your position is right, 0:43:45.000 --> 0:43:47.680 you stand behind your position and you stick to your 0:43:47.719 --> 0:43:50.880 guns and assure them it's not going to be easy sledding. 0:43:51.320 --> 0:43:53.040 But in the end you're going to come out. And 0:43:53.280 --> 0:43:56.480 I think Pete Hegseth is going to come out looking 0:43:56.520 --> 0:43:59.480 good on this because we've all heard the narrative that 0:43:59.560 --> 0:44:01.520 hegg Sac is in trouble. He's going to be the 0:44:01.520 --> 0:44:03.799 first one to be fired. Trump is going to let 0:44:03.880 --> 0:44:07.239 him go. But if he would have caved, I think 0:44:07.320 --> 0:44:11.120 to the you know, this withering fire he's been subject 0:44:11.120 --> 0:44:13.200 to then I think Trump would have let him go. 0:44:13.480 --> 0:44:16.480 But he's not. He's standing his ground and he and 0:44:16.800 --> 0:44:19.719 to my way of thinking, uh, you know, Trump said 0:44:19.760 --> 0:44:22.400 some great things about Pete HeiG Seth at that rally 0:44:22.480 --> 0:44:24.320 last night, so I think he's in pretty good standing 0:44:24.400 --> 0:44:24.799 right now. 0:44:26.000 --> 0:44:29.520 Well, and the great news about that is that Donald 0:44:29.520 --> 0:44:32.960 Trump does actually have good people this time around, who 0:44:33.040 --> 0:44:36.200 are loyal to him, who are mostly pretty capable. 0:44:36.239 --> 0:44:38.840 And I've got some criticisms like I'm still trying. 0:44:38.560 --> 0:44:41.840 To wade through my thinking on paying BONDI and cash hotel, 0:44:41.880 --> 0:44:45.239 for example, but for the most part they're doing at 0:44:45.320 --> 0:44:50.040 least a serviceable job and definitely loyal. You know, there 0:44:50.080 --> 0:44:52.640 are always some problems, but you've just got a situation 0:44:52.760 --> 0:44:55.080 where Donald Trump put the right kind of cabinet together 0:44:55.760 --> 0:45:00.000 that actually is dedicated to trying to fulfill his vision. 0:45:00.280 --> 0:45:03.160 And Donald Trump has to work that. But you know, 0:45:06.160 --> 0:45:12.640 if we are not willing as citizens to push back 0:45:13.280 --> 0:45:16.080 against the DC narratives as best we can, and the 0:45:16.160 --> 0:45:18.279 challenge of that is people are trying to live their lives. 0:45:18.320 --> 0:45:20.560 I always tell people, you know, I do this so 0:45:20.640 --> 0:45:23.200 you don't have to, because most people just want to 0:45:23.200 --> 0:45:25.240 try to make it through their lives. And that's why 0:45:25.400 --> 0:45:30.759 if Donald Trump can't get the economy back around, or 0:45:30.800 --> 0:45:33.160 at least get the message out well about the good 0:45:33.160 --> 0:45:36.200 things that are happening in the economy, then people will 0:45:36.239 --> 0:45:38.759 tend to back away from that. They need to have 0:45:38.800 --> 0:45:42.680 some direct sense. Then all that's working. But in light 0:45:42.800 --> 0:45:46.720 of these attacks like you mentioned the Mark Kelly, Alyssa 0:45:46.760 --> 0:45:50.240 slockin and all these idiots who put that video together 0:45:50.360 --> 0:45:54.520 literally to try to undermine Donald Trump's presidency. In my 0:45:55.200 --> 0:45:57.960 estimation and intreason this way, we have to remember that 0:45:58.080 --> 0:46:04.560 Democrats still have the financing and the methodology to go 0:46:04.719 --> 0:46:08.440 in and undermine everything that's happening so that they can 0:46:08.520 --> 0:46:11.920 maintain power. They still have a beachhead in the media. 0:46:12.400 --> 0:46:16.120 They've got millions, literally hundreds of millions of dollars that 0:46:16.480 --> 0:46:20.080 come through the George Soros types to fund these efforts. 0:46:20.120 --> 0:46:22.879 And that was a coordinated effort, this video that Mark 0:46:22.920 --> 0:46:25.880 Kelly put together to try to build out a narrative, 0:46:26.200 --> 0:46:28.200 and it hasn't won, but they've got the money to 0:46:28.280 --> 0:46:30.840 do that. And then we still have this NGO problem 0:46:30.880 --> 0:46:34.960 where money is flowing out from taxpayers literally into Democrat 0:46:35.080 --> 0:46:39.680 campaign coffers indirectly and this whole thing has got to 0:46:39.719 --> 0:46:43.719 be broken down because this is the corrosive thing that 0:46:44.320 --> 0:46:48.759 really Barack Obama put together on steroids that we've got 0:46:48.800 --> 0:46:51.080 to get rid of so we can have a natural, 0:46:51.360 --> 0:46:56.280 normal approach to having fair elections and fair political activity. 0:46:56.520 --> 0:46:58.439 There's a lot of work to do, and Donald Trump 0:46:58.600 --> 0:47:01.080 has to stay focused. And I'm going that he's being 0:47:01.080 --> 0:47:03.160 purposeful like he was last night, and he says he's 0:47:03.239 --> 0:47:05.000 going to try to put himself on the ballot so 0:47:05.080 --> 0:47:07.839 to speak, this next time around. That's good, he needs 0:47:07.840 --> 0:47:11.040 to do that. But if that's not effective, Democrats come 0:47:11.040 --> 0:47:16.680 into power in January twenty twenty seven, and we've got 0:47:16.760 --> 0:47:19.040 chaos for two years, and who knows what's going to 0:47:19.040 --> 0:47:19.640 happen after that. 0:47:19.840 --> 0:47:22.440 Yeah, Well, Susie Wilde said, Trump is going to campaign 0:47:22.640 --> 0:47:26.799 like it's twenty it's twenty twenty four, so we will 0:47:26.800 --> 0:47:29.680 see what happens. How big in your estimation is the 0:47:30.840 --> 0:47:36.799 fraud story out of Minneapolis and the Somalian community there? 0:47:36.840 --> 0:47:39.800 How big is that is? That story? 0:47:40.080 --> 0:47:43.080 It's huge in this sense, like we all know that 0:47:43.120 --> 0:47:46.600 there's corruption like this going on. We know that Elon 0:47:46.719 --> 0:47:50.279 Musk's efforts with Doge and those that continue thereafter have 0:47:50.440 --> 0:47:52.759 shown a lot of problems. So we know that there's 0:47:52.800 --> 0:47:55.960 a tip of the iceberg there. The Minnesota thing is 0:47:56.000 --> 0:47:57.840 the tip of the tip of the iceberg. And I 0:47:57.880 --> 0:48:01.160 say that because it's a huge, huge story. We're talking 0:48:01.520 --> 0:48:06.080 potentially eight billion dollars of fraud money. I just saw 0:48:06.120 --> 0:48:10.680 a report today there was some lady who's a whistleblower, 0:48:10.719 --> 0:48:16.720 a former TFA agent, who said she observed bags filled 0:48:16.760 --> 0:48:21.520 with cash of small people who were flying out of 0:48:21.520 --> 0:48:25.960 the Minneapolis airport heading over to Somalia. And this is huge, 0:48:26.200 --> 0:48:28.640 it's a huge story. But that should tell you that 0:48:28.719 --> 0:48:32.360 we're talking literally hundreds of billions, maybe even up to 0:48:32.400 --> 0:48:36.120 a trillion dollars of fraud, wasting, abuse from various areas. 0:48:36.280 --> 0:48:40.200 Every dollar that goes out to any NGO anywhere, we 0:48:40.320 --> 0:48:43.759 can be assured of ninety five percent sure that that 0:48:43.880 --> 0:48:47.560 money's going to something nefarious. Just consider what Stacy Abrams 0:48:47.880 --> 0:48:50.160 was going to get. You go get two billion dollars 0:48:50.200 --> 0:48:54.360 out of the Environmental Protection Agency that Lee Zelden stopped, 0:48:54.840 --> 0:48:57.640 and she has no reason to receive that kind of money. 0:48:57.840 --> 0:49:00.600 She was going to do. Her set up was going 0:49:00.640 --> 0:49:02.880 to be very similar to what's happening in the Minnesota. 0:49:03.239 --> 0:49:09.040 The whole design was helping people get energy efficient appliances 0:49:09.040 --> 0:49:11.000 and stuff. They're going to give her two billion dollars 0:49:11.040 --> 0:49:14.400 to promote that all times with anybody about a flying 0:49:14.480 --> 0:49:17.880 So she's gonna walk away with the money. 0:49:18.000 --> 0:49:21.680 Absolutely, are you talking about fraud? It is Yeah, that 0:49:21.719 --> 0:49:24.320 the Stacy Abrahams thing is is just amazing and now 0:49:24.680 --> 0:49:27.280 and gosh you and we've only got about ten seconds 0:49:27.360 --> 0:49:30.320 left here, but people are starting to look at ilhan 0:49:30.400 --> 0:49:33.719 Omar and questioning how does she go from a net 0:49:33.800 --> 0:49:37.200 worth of about sixty grand when she entered Congress and 0:49:37.239 --> 0:49:40.120 now a few years later her net worth is an 0:49:40.120 --> 0:49:44.200 excess of thirty million dollars. How does that happens? 0:49:44.239 --> 0:49:46.720 It's crazy and this is a big problem in Congress. 0:49:47.160 --> 0:49:48.440 The only way you get rid of this is to 0:49:48.520 --> 0:49:50.960 reduce government. That's one of the big things that we're 0:49:50.960 --> 0:49:53.200 fighting for. But to make it short, since we have 0:49:53.200 --> 0:49:55.640 a short amount of time, Tom Holman says that he's 0:49:56.360 --> 0:49:59.440 there is investigator, there are investigations happening from his agency 0:49:59.480 --> 0:50:02.880 in dah to look at her whether she's a valid 0:50:02.920 --> 0:50:06.359 citizen or not. That does need to happen. And if 0:50:06.400 --> 0:50:10.600 there's something actionable there that can be adjudicated. She needs 0:50:10.600 --> 0:50:12.920 to be stripped of her citizenship and sent out of 0:50:12.920 --> 0:50:15.319 this country. Like if we don't get serious about this 0:50:15.480 --> 0:50:18.600 kind of thing and start greeting things in the right way, 0:50:18.840 --> 0:50:21.440 that we're going to lose this country entirely. That was 0:50:21.480 --> 0:50:24.960 the whole design of Democrats anyway. So everyone said replacement 0:50:25.040 --> 0:50:30.800 theory was, you know, a conspiracy theory. No, it was 0:50:30.920 --> 0:50:33.719 very real. Democrats are still going to attempt to do that, 0:50:34.200 --> 0:50:36.520 and we got a lot to fight for here so 0:50:36.560 --> 0:50:38.600 that they can't get back into the kind of power 0:50:38.920 --> 0:50:39.680 to do that again. 0:50:39.760 --> 0:50:41.719 All right, Jim, we got to run as always, man, 0:50:41.800 --> 0:50:46.120 Appreciate the time, Appreciate the insight.

I was thinking of Charlie Kirk because 0:51:19.560 --> 0:51:21.600 I was going to ask you about Charlie Kirk in 0:51:21.640 --> 0:51:24.720 a minute. But Curtis Halk of NewsBusters, how are you tonight? 0:51:26.040 --> 0:51:27.759 Good to be with my friends? How are you? 0:51:28.560 --> 0:51:33.720 I'm good. I'm sure you are impressed by the bold 0:51:33.840 --> 0:51:37.919 and courageous reporting of the New York Times, who led 0:51:37.960 --> 0:51:41.840 their Sunday edition with a front page story about Joseph 0:51:41.920 --> 0:51:46.600 Robin at Biden and his immigration policy. I'm sure you 0:51:46.600 --> 0:51:48.120 were very impressed by that. 0:51:49.360 --> 0:51:49.800 It took you. 0:51:49.920 --> 0:51:52.640 I'm sure it took years. 0:51:53.560 --> 0:51:56.680 Fourteen reporters on that show Frank Jake Tapper's book Dan, 0:51:56.920 --> 0:51:58.879 he did missed the story. They just missed it. 0:52:01.560 --> 0:52:07.760 I mean, come on, five years after the fact. Whatever, 0:52:07.800 --> 0:52:09.439 it's almost six years now. 0:52:10.920 --> 0:52:13.640 Wait, so, like you need to tell me, guys New 0:52:13.680 --> 0:52:18.000 York Times that like Biden's team tried to deny. 0:52:17.960 --> 0:52:20.359 Reality and then or. 0:52:20.440 --> 0:52:23.040 They insisted everything was going to be fine, and then 0:52:23.080 --> 0:52:25.480 when everything did go wrong, we're just going to deny 0:52:25.600 --> 0:52:28.919 reality and we're just thinking, like there are the old 0:52:28.960 --> 0:52:31.560 adage that like if I don't think about it and 0:52:31.600 --> 0:52:34.880 I don't talk about it. It's not really happening. I 0:52:34.920 --> 0:52:37.799 think that's really their approach there. And as we know, 0:52:38.320 --> 0:52:40.520 we all have things in our lives that we need 0:52:40.560 --> 0:52:44.200 to address ourselves, but we keep putting it off. And 0:52:44.280 --> 0:52:46.399 I think that's kind of how it went for Team 0:52:46.440 --> 0:52:48.640 Biden when it came to the border, except you know, 0:52:49.840 --> 0:52:53.160 their inability to address their sins led to millions of 0:52:53.200 --> 0:52:58.000 people coming across the border untold numbers because it'll keep 0:52:58.000 --> 0:53:01.480 going up of families that would be you know, become 0:53:01.520 --> 0:53:07.280 angel moms as a result, and uh, you know, welfare frauds, 0:53:07.680 --> 0:53:10.759 you know, all kinds of good stuff. And I think 0:53:10.760 --> 0:53:13.160 it's rank your responsibility. And that's why I I was 0:53:13.200 --> 0:53:16.359 almost after Drew yesterday and I said, they are on 0:53:16.440 --> 0:53:18.719 my naughty list. I mean, you are on my naughty list. 0:53:18.760 --> 0:53:21.640 It's not surprising. But he made a really good point 0:53:21.680 --> 0:53:26.000 at me, which is print can be sometimes even more 0:53:26.080 --> 0:53:28.640 sinister than television. And I said, you know, that's a 0:53:28.640 --> 0:53:32.960 really good point because you think the radio and television, 0:53:33.000 --> 0:53:36.759 because of time constraints, that's how you end up with 0:53:36.920 --> 0:53:39.640 you know, kind of rancorous bias. And that's certainly true. 0:53:40.120 --> 0:53:42.319 But with in with print, you would think, because there's 0:53:42.360 --> 0:53:46.799 more space available, you can engage in nuance. But a 0:53:46.840 --> 0:53:51.600 lot we see here that uh, that doesn't necessarily mean 0:53:51.640 --> 0:53:55.359 it's a better product, but I. 0:53:55.239 --> 0:53:57.880 Mean it's a it's a it's a it's amazing. The 0:53:57.920 --> 0:54:00.680 thing is, there are people who read that story this 0:54:00.800 --> 0:54:04.160 Sunday that read that and said, I had no idea. 0:54:07.080 --> 0:54:11.000 Their jaws were dropping. Say, were you know, getting ready 0:54:11.080 --> 0:54:13.560 to get that second bite of their datas there? Like, honey, 0:54:13.640 --> 0:54:15.720 do you see what happened with Joe Biden was doing? 0:54:18.080 --> 0:54:21.960 I toast That's right, my bad? All right, let me 0:54:22.000 --> 0:54:24.560 ask you, Let me ask you a question. I have 0:54:24.680 --> 0:54:29.440 to admit I do not pay attention to the daily 0:54:29.520 --> 0:54:33.440 rantings of Candae own. I have not been paying much 0:54:33.440 --> 0:54:37.880 attention to Tucker Carlson, but I am seeing what is 0:54:37.920 --> 0:54:41.480 going on with with these two individuals crop up more 0:54:41.520 --> 0:54:44.840 and more in mainstream debate. Am I missing? Am I 0:54:44.880 --> 0:54:48.360 missing something here? Do I need to start paying attention 0:54:48.520 --> 0:54:51.120 to what's going on with because I know she's got 0:54:51.160 --> 0:54:54.920 some kind of conspiracy candae Owans does about what really 0:54:55.280 --> 0:54:58.040 you know took place in the assassination of Charlie Kirk. 0:54:58.080 --> 0:55:01.040 And yeah, I saw you know, I saw Eric or 0:55:01.120 --> 0:55:04.640 Kirk on Fox News over the weekend and on the 0:55:04.760 --> 0:55:08.480 Five on yesterday, and she was reacting to some of 0:55:08.520 --> 0:55:11.200 this stuff. Do I need to know about what's happening 0:55:11.440 --> 0:55:13.880 with this? Is this something I'm going to need to 0:55:13.960 --> 0:55:15.280 let my listeners know about? 0:55:16.640 --> 0:55:19.600 Yeah, I mean I definitely think so. I mean, obviously 0:55:19.680 --> 0:55:20.800 there's a point about. 0:55:20.920 --> 0:55:21.200 You know. 0:55:21.520 --> 0:55:24.120 Their response and a retort from folks that are close 0:55:24.160 --> 0:55:26.879 to the White House is oh, this is the fight 0:55:26.960 --> 0:55:29.160 against the left, and we cannot be engaged in these 0:55:29.239 --> 0:55:33.400 kind of petty wars. But I think I tweet this 0:55:33.400 --> 0:55:36.280 a few hours ago over the Great Joel Barry from 0:55:36.320 --> 0:55:40.240 the Babylon b which is this moment demands moral clarity. 0:55:40.480 --> 0:55:42.840 And if we are going to be the critique of 0:55:43.239 --> 0:55:47.839 the vicious, godless, heartless left that we say we are 0:55:48.080 --> 0:55:50.160 and that we are going to offer to our readers 0:55:50.280 --> 0:55:55.560 and our audiences, then it requires some sort of moral compass, okay, 0:55:56.080 --> 0:56:01.719 because we need to protect ourselves against being derided and 0:56:01.800 --> 0:56:05.400 torn apart by people who clearly are cancers to the 0:56:05.400 --> 0:56:09.120 conservative movement, specifically Candiceellans. I have been a critic of 0:56:09.160 --> 0:56:11.799 her since twenty eighteen, and I have taken way too 0:56:11.880 --> 0:56:16.520 much bleep toy bleap from people about her saying that, 0:56:16.560 --> 0:56:18.560 oh she's important and you shouldn't. 0:56:18.120 --> 0:56:21.680 Be saying this. Well, here I am, you. 0:56:21.640 --> 0:56:26.960 Know, many years later saying, you know, almost eight years 0:56:27.040 --> 0:56:31.520 later saying oh I am vindicated. Unfortunately, to say that 0:56:31.600 --> 0:56:35.319 the Egyptians or Jews or Charlie's staff had anything to 0:56:35.360 --> 0:56:39.879 do with this, it's rancorous irresponsibility. She makes a lot 0:56:39.920 --> 0:56:42.440 of money by just saying these things on social media 0:56:42.440 --> 0:56:44.960 and rumble, and that's what's frustrating. And for Tucker to 0:56:45.080 --> 0:56:46.840 kind of say, well, I don't really know what the 0:56:46.880 --> 0:56:49.120 truth is, and we shouldn't really like trust anybody, so 0:56:49.160 --> 0:56:52.640 we should look into everything. You get to a certain 0:56:52.680 --> 0:56:55.359 point where if you just say like, well, we don't 0:56:55.360 --> 0:56:59.960 believe anything, then you know, then the world is just open, 0:57:00.040 --> 0:57:03.000 and you know, we'll start talking about like black holes 0:57:03.040 --> 0:57:05.960 like Don Lemon with the missing Malaysian plane, and we 0:57:06.000 --> 0:57:07.759 make fun of it because that's what the left does. 0:57:08.200 --> 0:57:10.719 But we're reaching that point with the right where we 0:57:10.760 --> 0:57:13.360 don't trust that. We have this mantra of not trusting anything, 0:57:13.600 --> 0:57:18.080 so therefore now we're just gonna get into all sorts 0:57:18.120 --> 0:57:22.000 of deranged conspiracy theories about Egyptian jets and Jews and 0:57:22.080 --> 0:57:23.720 foreign cell phones. 0:57:23.960 --> 0:57:27.480 Yeah and so, and look, I don't know again, I 0:57:27.640 --> 0:57:30.280 really I don't know anything she has said about any 0:57:30.280 --> 0:57:32.960 of this stuff. I don't follow her. I don't pay 0:57:32.960 --> 0:57:38.160 attention to what she says. Has there been any of 0:57:38.200 --> 0:57:40.280 the stuff that she said in the past, Has any 0:57:40.320 --> 0:57:42.960 of that stuff turned out to be legitimate any of it? 0:57:43.880 --> 0:57:46.480 No, there's been no evidence to any of this year. 0:57:46.520 --> 0:57:50.800 And it's just it is so hurtful. And people have said, 0:57:50.840 --> 0:57:54.800 I think that, you know, Charlie and Candice were friends 0:57:54.800 --> 0:57:58.720 for a long time before Charlie met Erica, and people 0:57:58.760 --> 0:58:00.200 have said there might have just been personal and I'm 0:58:00.200 --> 0:58:02.560 osity there. I don't know, but it is. It's so 0:58:03.480 --> 0:58:07.240 deranged and hurtful. I'm not never going to call for 0:58:07.280 --> 0:58:10.320 these people to be kicked off their platforms, but you know, 0:58:10.440 --> 0:58:14.720 with this becomes responsibility, and when you start saying I'm 0:58:14.720 --> 0:58:17.560 the only voice, I'm the only true friend that Charlie 0:58:17.640 --> 0:58:23.720 has and not including his widow, you cross the line, 0:58:24.000 --> 0:58:27.000 especially because this isn't just about policy. This is involving 0:58:27.080 --> 0:58:31.520 someone's public assassination on live TV more or less. 0:58:31.360 --> 0:58:34.440 But in your estimation. Does this threaten to go beyond 0:58:35.320 --> 0:58:38.960 just where it is right now in this correct in 0:58:39.000 --> 0:58:41.800 this whole. I don't know if it's a subculture or 0:58:42.680 --> 0:58:46.040 how much of the of mainstream conservatism that this is 0:58:46.080 --> 0:58:49.520 going to affect with people and with these people have 0:58:49.640 --> 0:58:51.440 in this ongoing back and forth. 0:58:51.880 --> 0:58:54.320 Yeah, we I mean, you have to speak with moral clarity, 0:58:54.400 --> 0:58:57.480 You have to speak with clarity and force. I mean, 0:58:57.960 --> 0:59:00.400 and don't you know the left will bring up, well, 0:59:00.440 --> 0:59:03.720 what about I support Donald Trumpet the Rice Price married, Yeah, 0:59:03.800 --> 0:59:08.040 and they're like, this is now what we're talking about here, Okay, 0:59:08.360 --> 0:59:11.920 we are talking about someone who was murdered in cold blood, 0:59:12.480 --> 0:59:15.960 plenty of DNA evidence, the training, lover all that stuff 0:59:16.400 --> 0:59:19.560 going on, and we're just not there's an entire side 0:59:19.560 --> 0:59:21.240 of the rights that she was not talking about this, 0:59:21.720 --> 0:59:24.240 that he was some sort of fall guy. And I mean, 0:59:24.280 --> 0:59:29.000 I again, it's a distraction from honoring Charlie and continuing 0:59:29.040 --> 0:59:31.600 his work at turning Point, which is firing on all cylinders. 0:59:31.600 --> 0:59:33.680 And I say all this and as someone who had 0:59:33.760 --> 0:59:36.840 plenty of issues with Charlie Kirker of the years, but 0:59:38.040 --> 0:59:39.680 you know, if we are really going to take this 0:59:39.760 --> 0:59:43.000 to the left with Mom, Donnie. And you know, we 0:59:43.040 --> 0:59:46.520 had the Democrats winning in Florida again. We had a 0:59:46.560 --> 0:59:50.480 Saint Georgia state House seat flipped to the Democrats last night. 0:59:50.920 --> 0:59:55.040 There's some serious stuff going on. Economic anxiety has settled 0:59:55.040 --> 1:00:00.200 in with folks and it's gripping, you know, and has 1:00:00.240 --> 1:00:03.560 the chance to really pull the party down next year. 1:00:04.280 --> 1:00:06.200 And we have Somali stuff. I mean, there's so much 1:00:06.200 --> 1:00:09.080 stuff going on that we could be that that folks 1:00:09.080 --> 1:00:09.880 could be focused on. 1:00:10.880 --> 1:00:11.680 But notice that. 1:00:11.680 --> 1:00:14.560 Candice and uh Tucker are the ones who say we 1:00:14.600 --> 1:00:16.600 need to be focused on the left, and they themselves 1:00:16.600 --> 1:00:19.600 are not spending their airtime by talking about the left 1:00:19.600 --> 1:00:24.680 really at all at all, of course, because we make 1:00:24.720 --> 1:00:26.080 fun of them on a daily basis. 1:00:26.160 --> 1:00:30.280 But well, we'll see what happens down the road. Uh, 1:00:30.480 --> 1:00:34.200 Barry Wise has hired this guy, uh, Tony Dope. How 1:00:34.240 --> 1:00:37.360 do you say his name? The coopleple, the cople Uh. 1:00:38.400 --> 1:00:41.720 So can we expect anything different out of CBS News 1:00:41.800 --> 1:00:44.120 now that this guy is going to be well. 1:00:43.920 --> 1:00:46.960 See, we'll see again. You know the fact that Barry 1:00:47.000 --> 1:00:49.600 is willing to try something different, you know. And Tony 1:00:50.680 --> 1:00:54.360 he's married to Katie Turr, So that's unfortunate. He seems 1:00:54.400 --> 1:00:58.680 like a very nice person, but you know, very extremely 1:00:59.360 --> 1:01:01.880 five years and five years ago, he did this thing 1:01:01.920 --> 1:01:04.480 about socialism where he you know, he did a pie 1:01:04.600 --> 1:01:08.000 and went to a mall before COVID and tried to 1:01:08.040 --> 1:01:10.200 convince people that like, well we need to like have 1:01:10.320 --> 1:01:12.120 multiple pies, or we need to take your part of 1:01:12.120 --> 1:01:14.040 the pie and give it to these people. You know, 1:01:14.120 --> 1:01:17.240 that whole like kind of elementary level nonsense. I would 1:01:17.240 --> 1:01:19.760 refer to him as socialist. Co host Tony D. Koppel, 1:01:20.400 --> 1:01:23.240 though Elizabeth Warren like praised him days later, being like 1:01:23.440 --> 1:01:25.920 so amazing, that's so great. More people need to basically 1:01:25.960 --> 1:01:29.600 think like this. But you know, two things happened. Number one, 1:01:30.000 --> 1:01:34.280 Hamas October seventh, his ex wife and two teenage children 1:01:34.360 --> 1:01:37.000 were living in Israel, so he wasn't sure for a 1:01:37.040 --> 1:01:40.320 while they were okay. And then number two, I think 1:01:40.360 --> 1:01:43.760 what happened was, you know, with Tommy Hoasey Coats, where 1:01:43.800 --> 1:01:46.640 he was nearly fired for simply telling Tommy he's coach. Yeah, 1:01:46.640 --> 1:01:48.280 it seems like you've written a book here that really 1:01:48.280 --> 1:01:51.320 seems to hate Jews, seems to call him the question 1:01:51.360 --> 1:01:54.200 whether Israel should exist. I have a right to exist, 1:01:54.920 --> 1:01:58.120 and so since then, he's what my colleague Dick Fondacaro 1:01:58.200 --> 1:02:02.080 has become Tony durredtill and you know, whether it's talking 1:02:02.120 --> 1:02:07.840 about Kimmel and Saalin, we're talking about campus protests by 1:02:07.880 --> 1:02:12.600 these you know, antisemitic moms. He has not been an 1:02:12.640 --> 1:02:15.000 out and out like conservatives. But the point is to 1:02:15.120 --> 1:02:20.880 give voice too accurate and accurately so conservative arguments that, hey, 1:02:20.920 --> 1:02:25.720 half the country actually thinks the opposite of what we're 1:02:25.760 --> 1:02:28.880 all sitting here talking about, you know, ye, all right, 1:02:29.360 --> 1:02:31.560 which I think is accurate. We don't we don't want, 1:02:31.640 --> 1:02:34.960 we don't necessarily demand that all these journalists become Trump 1:02:34.960 --> 1:02:39.320 hat you know, maggya hat wearing partisans. That's not how 1:02:39.400 --> 1:02:41.440 journalism is supposed to work. But they're so much to 1:02:41.480 --> 1:02:42.120 present all side. 1:02:42.160 --> 1:02:44.360 So I hope let's see some of that. Yeah, I'll 1:02:44.400 --> 1:02:45.960 just try a little bit of that to get a 1:02:45.960 --> 1:02:47.680 lot of mileage out of and it might be amazing 1:02:47.760 --> 1:02:50.439 and we'll see what happens. I have, but curtis that 1:02:50.440 --> 1:02:52.040 that's what you're there for, my friend, to keep an 1:02:52.080 --> 1:02:54.520 eye on all that stuff, and we'll be calling on 1:02:54.600 --> 1:02:56.760 you again before too long. But for now, we're going 1:02:56.840 --> 1:02:59.960 to believe it right there. I always appreciate the time, 1:03:00.640 --> 1:03:02.800 keep up the great work, and we'll be talking to 1:03:02.840 --> 1:03:04.000 you again before too long. 1:03:05.040 --> 1:03:06.880 Absolutely, next time we'll have. 1:03:07.240 --> 1:03:09.360 The year for you, all right. I'll be looking forward 1:03:09.400 --> 1:03:11.920 to that. Curtis out the great Curtis House at NewsBusters 1:03:11.960 --> 1:03:15.360 dot org. And I always appreciate him being here. Ten 1:03:15.480 --> 1:03:26.000 fifty four at seven hundred WLW right back on the 1:03:26.000 --> 1:03:31.440 Big One seven LW. Dan Carroll till midnight tonight Wednesday 1:03:31.520 --> 1:03:34.560 night edition of The Midweek Crisis five one to three, 1:03:35.240 --> 1:03:39.120 seven eight hundred The Big One. Congressman Hank Johnson is 1:03:39.160 --> 1:03:43.760 back in the news today and he has recently been 1:03:43.800 --> 1:03:49.240 praised by an organization, the American Arab Anti Discrimination Committee, 1:03:50.240 --> 1:03:52.640 and they say, we need to thank Hank Johnson for 1:03:52.680 --> 1:03:56.960 taking a stand of being a strong voice for Palestinian rights, 1:03:57.200 --> 1:04:01.360 a strong voice for Palestinian rights. So Hank Johnson was 1:04:01.400 --> 1:04:06.840 on some podcast and he was, I guess, expressing his 1:04:07.480 --> 1:04:12.000 strong voice from Palestinian rights. And here's how he did that. 1:04:12.040 --> 1:04:15.040 He called he did that by calling America the number 1:04:15.040 --> 1:04:19.720 one bully and Satan. Let's let's hear the congressman here, Joe, 1:04:19.840 --> 1:04:21.600 Let's hear cut number one if we could please. 1:04:23.320 --> 1:04:27.520 Yeah, we we are the world's number one bully and 1:04:27.560 --> 1:04:38.640 we're using our immense, unrifled power to rule over those 1:04:38.680 --> 1:04:42.800 who have less power, and we're doing it with impunity. 1:04:43.400 --> 1:04:47.480 And this sends a shocking message to the world that 1:04:47.680 --> 1:04:53.280 America is indeed uh the what did what did they 1:04:53.440 --> 1:04:56.800 used to call the Great Hand of Satan or something 1:04:56.880 --> 1:05:03.080 like that. I mean, America under the Trump regime is 1:05:03.120 --> 1:05:08.680 demonstrating that that moniker was was entirely accurate. All right, 1:05:10.720 --> 1:05:12.360 become in this country. 1:05:12.000 --> 1:05:15.360 Hank Johnson that this this guy is a sitting member 1:05:15.360 --> 1:05:19.240 of Congress and he's got the nerve to go on 1:05:19.280 --> 1:05:23.240 some podcast and talk about how America is the Great Satan, 1:05:25.680 --> 1:05:28.520 great friend of the Palestinian freedom. I mean, this guy 1:05:28.560 --> 1:05:33.600 has gone from being an amiable dunce to someone who's 1:05:33.640 --> 1:05:38.520 really dangerous. And if you if the name Hank Johnson 1:05:38.640 --> 1:05:42.200 sounds familiar, that's because it should sound familiar, because this 1:05:42.280 --> 1:05:45.200 is Hank Johnson, and this is the SoundBite we all 1:05:45.240 --> 1:05:49.919 know him for. And let's go ahead and hear cut 1:05:49.960 --> 1:05:50.400 number two. 1:05:51.760 --> 1:05:54.560 It's from shore to shore and at the smallest level, 1:05:55.160 --> 1:06:03.720 the smallest uh location, it's uh seven miles between one. 1:06:03.560 --> 1:06:06.360 Shore and the other. Is that correct? I don't have 1:06:06.440 --> 1:06:09.040 the exact dimensions, but to your point, sir, I think 1:06:09.160 --> 1:06:10.400 Wall is a small island. 1:06:10.280 --> 1:06:13.160 Very small island, and about twenty four miles if I 1:06:13.200 --> 1:06:18.040 recall long, twenty four miles long, about seven miles wide 1:06:18.240 --> 1:06:22.040 at the least widest place on the island in about 1:06:22.080 --> 1:06:27.200 twenty about twelve miles wide on the widest part of 1:06:27.240 --> 1:06:31.840 the island. And I don't know how many square miles 1:06:31.880 --> 1:06:32.600 that that is. 1:06:32.640 --> 1:06:35.440 Do you happen to know? I don't have that figure withness, 1:06:35.480 --> 1:06:37.200 or I can certainly supply it to you if you like. 1:06:37.720 --> 1:06:41.760 My fear is that the whole island will become so 1:06:42.480 --> 1:06:47.400 overly populated that it will tip over and catchsize. 1:06:48.640 --> 1:06:50.560 We don't anticipate that. Yeah, there you go. 1:06:50.680 --> 1:06:56.080 So they're saying Johnson, Hey, wait, what an absolute fool 1:06:56.160 --> 1:07:03.520 and now he's a stooge for the anti Israel crowd. Congratulations, 1:07:03.960 --> 1:07:10.600 what an absolute disgrace. The Department of Homeland Security as 1:07:10.640 --> 1:07:12.640 a brand new website out.

And this guy is a sitting member 1:13:34.960 --> 1:13:38.280 of Congress who goes out there and talks about how 1:13:38.720 --> 1:13:42.679 America is the great Satan that I mean that that 1:13:42.680 --> 1:13:45.800 that really that is just it is beyond disgraceful. 1:13:48.280 --> 1:13:50.800 But Dan, I agree with you one hundred percent.

These are people that hate America. 1:13:55.840 --> 1:13:58.960 Did we talked about this starting a couple of years ago. 1:13:59.000 --> 1:14:02.639 These people do not love America. They do not believe 1:14:02.640 --> 1:14:05.200 in America. They don't believe in the American dream, they 1:14:05.200 --> 1:14:09.080 don't believe in capitalism, they don't believe in our way 1:14:09.080 --> 1:14:12.800 of life. These people are coming to America, they're not assimilating. 1:14:13.680 --> 1:14:16.800 They want their own own way, you know. And and 1:14:16.920 --> 1:14:19.000 guys like that need to be impeached. They need to 1:14:19.000 --> 1:14:23.479 be removed. You know. The Democrats have declared war on us. 1:14:23.520 --> 1:14:27.000 I hope we understand. They don't agree with anything that 1:14:27.080 --> 1:14:31.160 Donald Trump does. Nothing, They opposed everything he stands for. 1:14:31.840 --> 1:14:34.000 You know, you've had many in the last week that 1:14:34.120 --> 1:14:38.200 have talked about power. That's what these people want, their Marxists. 1:14:38.200 --> 1:14:42.000 They want complete power. They want to put everybody under 1:14:42.040 --> 1:14:44.519 their thumb. They want to tell you what to do, 1:14:44.600 --> 1:14:47.120 when to do, and how to do it. You know, 1:14:48.160 --> 1:14:51.599 too many Americans are so naive in they don't understand 1:14:51.600 --> 1:14:54.240 what these people are all about and what they're capable 1:14:54.280 --> 1:14:59.920 of doing. You know, these people to reality, they're blind. 1:15:00.520 --> 1:15:04.040 That's what makes them an ideal alogue. They don't want 1:15:04.080 --> 1:15:06.240 to deal with reality. They don't want to deal with 1:15:06.320 --> 1:15:09.120 common sense. All they want to deal with is what 1:15:09.160 --> 1:15:13.639 they think the world should be. And these people are crazy. 1:15:13.720 --> 1:15:18.760 Jolano mar should be removed from this country, as you know, 1:15:18.880 --> 1:15:19.400 it's been. 1:15:22.200 --> 1:15:23.519 Keen to her brother. 1:15:24.720 --> 1:15:25.760 You know, that's. 1:15:25.360 --> 1:15:29.640 Well, there's a lot of people questioning now how she 1:15:30.240 --> 1:15:33.920 goes from a net worth of about sixty grand to 1:15:34.720 --> 1:15:37.840 an excess of thirty million in the span of just 1:15:37.880 --> 1:15:42.519 a few short years. And you don't do that just 1:15:42.600 --> 1:15:43.919 on a congressional salary. 1:15:44.000 --> 1:15:48.040 So there's she's never had a real job. You know, 1:15:48.160 --> 1:15:50.160 she's never had a real job. She doesn't have a 1:15:50.200 --> 1:15:54.559 real education. You know, she's a thief, she's a liar, 1:15:54.680 --> 1:15:58.439 and she's a thief. You know, ninety five percent of 1:15:58.600 --> 1:16:02.880 some minds are liars, con artists, and thiefs. You know, 1:16:02.960 --> 1:16:07.400 they were pirateing ships around South Africa for thirty years. 1:16:07.960 --> 1:16:10.720 You know, that's all the people are. They've got to 1:16:10.800 --> 1:16:16.280 conclave out there in Saint Paul. They're practicing Sharia law 1:16:16.600 --> 1:16:20.720 as they're practicing in Michigan and dearborn Sharia law. You know, 1:16:20.800 --> 1:16:23.719 we got people in Texas trying to practice Sharia law. 1:16:24.439 --> 1:16:29.360 I hope your listeners didn't understand. Sharia law is one 1:16:29.360 --> 1:16:32.920 of the worst things ever for women. You know, women 1:16:33.000 --> 1:16:34.760 have no rights under Sharia law. 1:16:35.280 --> 1:16:40.200 It's horrific. It is absolutely horrific, and a large I 1:16:40.200 --> 1:16:43.960 would wager that the vast majority, if not almost all, 1:16:44.439 --> 1:16:48.760 of these young individuals, and especially the women who think 1:16:48.800 --> 1:16:53.920 it's cool to support candidates like Mandani, who think it's 1:16:53.920 --> 1:16:57.600 cool to put a heat job on or cool to 1:16:58.479 --> 1:17:01.559 you know, put on the burka and pretend like you're 1:17:01.560 --> 1:17:04.840 a Muslim, and you know, talk about how America, like 1:17:04.840 --> 1:17:08.000 like Hank Johnson says America is the Great Satan. They 1:17:08.040 --> 1:17:14.599 have absolutely no clue of what goes on when when 1:17:15.560 --> 1:17:19.240 you have Islam as the dominant force, not not just 1:17:19.360 --> 1:17:22.840 as a religious force, but as a political force as well. 1:17:23.840 --> 1:17:26.479 Well, what would women what would they do if they 1:17:26.560 --> 1:17:29.519 knew that in certain situations they can be stoned to 1:17:29.560 --> 1:17:33.000 death because their husband accuses them of adultery. 1:17:34.479 --> 1:17:37.839 Well, yeah, they're they're the equivalent. They're the equivalent of cattle. 1:17:38.400 --> 1:17:42.400 Why they are the equivalent of property to be owned 1:17:42.439 --> 1:17:45.400 by men. And when you're and you're talking about what 1:17:45.439 --> 1:17:50.000 goes on in Somalia, the Center for Immigration Studies just 1:17:50.080 --> 1:17:55.160 put out a report looking at the Somali population in Minnesota, 1:17:55.880 --> 1:17:59.360 and it's a it's more than seventy five thousand individuals, 1:17:59.800 --> 1:18:02.439 and they report that in more than half, fifty two 1:18:02.520 --> 1:18:07.200 percent of the children in the immigrant homes, the Somali 1:18:07.240 --> 1:18:11.240 immigrant homes in Minnesota live in poverty. Only eight percent 1:18:11.280 --> 1:18:18.360 of the children in native headed homes are let me see, 1:18:18.439 --> 1:18:20.800 while only eight percent of the children native head of 1:18:21.280 --> 1:18:25.599 native headed homes that's they're talking about Americans here, eight 1:18:25.640 --> 1:18:28.759 percent are in poverty. One in eight children in poverty 1:18:28.760 --> 1:18:33.240 in Minnesota lives in a Somali immigrant home. Thirty nine 1:18:33.280 --> 1:18:36.080 percent of the working age Somalis have no high school diploma, 1:18:36.479 --> 1:18:41.360 compared to just five percent of Native Minnesotas. Among working 1:18:41.400 --> 1:18:44.280 age adults, Somalis who have lived in the US for 1:18:44.280 --> 1:18:48.080 more than ten years still cannot speak English very well. 1:18:48.439 --> 1:18:51.880 Fifty four percent of Somali headed households in Minnesota receive 1:18:51.960 --> 1:18:55.640 food stamps. Seventy three percent of Somali households have at 1:18:55.720 --> 1:19:00.000 least one member on Medicaid. Comparative figures for Native households 1:19:00.560 --> 1:19:04.400 are seven percent and eighteen percent. So they're comparing the 1:19:04.439 --> 1:19:10.160 Somali population to the native population of Minnesota, and it 1:19:10.240 --> 1:19:14.440 is in just about every category, and in every category 1:19:15.200 --> 1:19:19.000 you've got the vast majority live in poverty and are 1:19:19.080 --> 1:19:21.599 on some sort of government largess. 1:19:22.960 --> 1:19:26.760 And that violates every tenant of our immigration policy to 1:19:26.800 --> 1:19:29.920 come to America. You come to America because you have 1:19:30.000 --> 1:19:32.600 something to provide us. We don't want you not to 1:19:32.720 --> 1:19:35.240 leach off of us. We're not supposed to feed you. 1:19:35.280 --> 1:19:37.360 We're not supposed to clothe you. We're not supposed to 1:19:37.400 --> 1:19:40.360 house you. We're not supposed to provide you medical care. 1:19:40.400 --> 1:19:42.559 These are things that you're supposed to be doing on 1:19:42.600 --> 1:19:46.280 your own. We're not a babysitter for the world. And 1:19:46.320 --> 1:19:50.600 that's what they've turned this upside down. In the Simon population, 1:19:51.200 --> 1:19:54.000 seventy percent of them that vote in are illegal and 1:19:54.040 --> 1:19:58.240 their votes are counted because Minnesota doesn't require any sort 1:19:58.280 --> 1:19:59.880 of idea of any kind. 1:20:00.400 --> 1:20:03.680 Well, hopefully, hopefully, Ken, all this is going to get 1:20:03.680 --> 1:20:06.040 exposed and dealt with in a serious way. But for now, 1:20:06.080 --> 1:20:07.559 we got to run. We got to get to a break. 1:20:07.600 --> 1:20:10.519 But Ken has always been I appreciate you listen and 1:20:10.640 --> 1:20:12.720 appreciate you picking up the phone. 1:20:13.000 --> 1:20:13.920 Hi, Dane, have a good. 1:20:13.840 --> 1:20:15.800 One, all right, Ken from Mason, Thank you very much. 1:20:15.880 --> 1:20:25.000 Eleven twenty five, seven hundred WLW back on the Big one, 1:20:25.000 --> 1:20:32.120 seven hundred WLW eleven And apparently some bad weather is 1:20:32.160 --> 1:20:36.519 moving in, so you're out there, be careful. And if 1:20:36.560 --> 1:20:38.840 if you listened to me on the radio on doing 1:20:38.880 --> 1:20:42.080 this show, especially during this time slot, and you know 1:20:42.160 --> 1:20:46.400 that one of the one of the topics that I 1:20:46.439 --> 1:20:48.719 talk I talk about a lot and did talk about 1:20:48.720 --> 1:20:52.880 a lot when during the Biden administration was the unaccompanied 1:20:52.920 --> 1:20:57.400 minor children they came into this country And what an absolute, 1:20:59.000 --> 1:21:01.880 what an absolute it is going to be on the 1:21:02.439 --> 1:21:07.000 history of this country. And I came across an article 1:21:09.560 --> 1:21:15.040 in American Thinkers was written by Kevin Finn, and it 1:21:15.240 --> 1:21:19.599 just It just sums up the whole history of this 1:21:21.000 --> 1:21:24.920 quite well, and Kevin Finn writes in the History of 1:21:25.000 --> 1:21:28.360 American Governance, few chapters will stain the page as darkly 1:21:28.400 --> 1:21:32.400 as the utter failure of the Biden Harris administration to 1:21:32.560 --> 1:21:37.400 safeguard unaccompanied migrant children. I must ask this question, if 1:21:37.439 --> 1:21:42.360 their goal was to intentionally traffic children into sexual slaver 1:21:42.439 --> 1:21:46.799 re enforced labor, how would their actions have been any different? 1:21:48.600 --> 1:21:52.360 For four catastrophic years, vulnerable miners poured across the Rio 1:21:52.439 --> 1:21:55.720 Grande and were funneled into a system riddled with incompetence, 1:21:56.520 --> 1:22:00.800 willful blindness, and flat out in negligence. A report from 1:22:00.800 --> 1:22:05.080 the Department of Homeland Securities Office of Inspector General landed 1:22:05.160 --> 1:22:09.320 like a bomb and exposed a tragedy. The administration lost 1:22:09.360 --> 1:22:13.080 track of over three hundred and twenty thousand of these children, 1:22:14.120 --> 1:22:17.439 releasing them to unvetted sponsors without so much as a 1:22:17.479 --> 1:22:23.839 whisper of accountability. These were terrified kids fleeing poverty or violence, 1:22:23.960 --> 1:22:27.679 only to vanish in the shadows of sex, trafficking, forced labor, 1:22:28.439 --> 1:22:33.439 and unimaginable abuse. I must ask this question, why would 1:22:33.479 --> 1:22:38.680 parents send unaccompanied minor children on a trip across hundreds 1:22:38.800 --> 1:22:42.840 or thousands of miles, knowing the likelihood that they would 1:22:42.880 --> 1:22:47.559 be raped, otherwise abused, and forced into slavery. Where were 1:22:47.560 --> 1:22:51.280 they greasing the skids for chain or were they greasing 1:22:51.320 --> 1:22:56.080 the skids for chain migration? The human cost defies comprehension. 1:22:56.320 --> 1:23:01.120 Young girls sixteen years or younger drugged in by alleged 1:23:01.160 --> 1:23:04.680 brothers or uncles. This was the very definition of the 1:23:04.720 --> 1:23:09.280 dereliction of duty that prioritized open borders over innocent lives. 1:23:10.560 --> 1:23:15.160 HHS stripped away rigorous vetting at the onset of Biden's 1:23:15.200 --> 1:23:19.120 reign of error, opting for phone calls instead of in 1:23:19.240 --> 1:23:25.479 person checks, permitting non family sponsors many hosting multiple children 1:23:25.560 --> 1:23:30.200 to whisk away miners. Unchecked addresses provided to ICE were 1:23:30.360 --> 1:23:33.920 eighty percent wrong or wrong eighty percent of the time 1:23:35.040 --> 1:23:39.639 incomplete for over thirty one thousand kids or downright fictional. 1:23:40.880 --> 1:23:45.000 Thirty four children were dumped at two non existent locations 1:23:45.040 --> 1:23:50.080 by one field office alone. Even worse, a twenty twenty 1:23:50.120 --> 1:23:55.639 one interagency packed handcuffed information sharing blocked DHS from sponsor 1:23:55.720 --> 1:24:03.120 biometrics to shield potential criminals from scrutiny. Law enforcement officers 1:24:03.560 --> 1:24:08.520 likened prying data from HHS to pulling teeth as bureaucrats 1:24:08.560 --> 1:24:12.479 fretted over deporting sponsors with rap sheets or immigration status 1:24:12.520 --> 1:24:18.400 because of racism. The result over two hundred and thirty 1:24:18.400 --> 1:24:23.800 three thousand children unrolled in immigration proceedings are unenrolled, I 1:24:23.800 --> 1:24:28.000 should say, in immigration proceedings since January of twenty twenty one, 1:24:28.080 --> 1:24:32.799 plus forty three thousand nose shows in court prime targets 1:24:32.800 --> 1:24:38.360 for cartels, surging and trafficking. Whistleblowers like Tara Rota, former 1:24:38.600 --> 1:24:45.479 HHS recruit, exposed the whrror handcuffing kids to traffickers, members 1:24:45.479 --> 1:24:50.879 of transitional crime organizations, bad bad people. In a final insult, 1:24:50.920 --> 1:24:55.599 the administration's vaunted safety hotline for these kids ignored sixty 1:24:55.680 --> 1:25:00.960 five thousand desperate calls from August of twenty twenty three 1:25:01.280 --> 1:25:05.360 to January of twenty twenty five. Please that span complaints 1:25:05.880 --> 1:25:11.000 about stale bread to nightly assaults by men in bedrooms. 1:25:11.479 --> 1:25:13.639 Of course, it was hard to answer all those calls 1:25:13.680 --> 1:25:17.960 when there was only a single staffer assigned to the task. 1:25:19.080 --> 1:25:22.920 One boy's unanswered cries for help were finally reviewed after 1:25:22.960 --> 1:25:26.280 Trump took office and led to his rescue and his 1:25:26.360 --> 1:25:32.200 sponsor's arrest. As with so many Democrat run operations, fraud 1:25:32.320 --> 1:25:38.000 was rampant. Over six billion dollars flowed to NGOs like 1:25:38.240 --> 1:25:43.080 Endeavors and Southwest Key, whose revenues exploded from fifty two 1:25:43.200 --> 1:25:49.120 million to one point one eight billion in two years, 1:25:49.640 --> 1:25:56.320 with CEO paid doubling. These nonprofits ninety seven to ninety 1:25:56.400 --> 1:26:02.719 nine percent federally funded, became enablers, hiring staff without background checks, 1:26:02.800 --> 1:26:08.040 letting men roam and female dorms, and even staging sexually 1:26:08.120 --> 1:26:15.000 explicit twerking lessons for teen girls. They shuttled miners to 1:26:15.040 --> 1:26:19.280 flights like unwitting an unwilling cargo, while eighty percent of 1:26:19.360 --> 1:26:24.240 sheltered women bore scars of cartel rape en route. Senate 1:26:24.320 --> 1:26:29.640 Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassly hammered home the point Biden crewe 1:26:30.000 --> 1:26:35.959 chose where Biden's crew chose speed and optics over safety, 1:26:36.960 --> 1:26:40.599 releasing twenty four thousand, one hundred kids into high risk, 1:26:40.760 --> 1:26:46.840 distant relatives or strangers in gang infested motels. His referrals 1:26:46.880 --> 1:26:53.280 sparked one hundred two investigations and pierced the veil of secrecy. Meanwhile, 1:26:53.360 --> 1:26:57.800 the Democrats maintained a stunning silence, avoid where outrage should 1:26:57.800 --> 1:27:02.519 have thundered. No fire speeches for the lost, no needs taken, 1:27:02.560 --> 1:27:08.439 an emancipation hall, no demand for reform. Instead, they doubled 1:27:08.439 --> 1:27:12.799 down on the very policies that unleash this nightmare, shielding 1:27:12.880 --> 1:27:16.680 illegal aliens and the criminal networks that preyed on these innocents. 1:27:18.320 --> 1:27:22.599 Their compassion rings hollow when it excuses the traffickers and 1:27:22.640 --> 1:27:29.479 the NGOs, fattening off federal largesse. Even as Grassley's probes 1:27:29.560 --> 1:27:33.960 exposed the firewall of secrecy, the left blocked bills to 1:27:34.040 --> 1:27:41.280 protect these children from sexual harm. The left new agenda 1:27:41.360 --> 1:27:46.919 empathy for invaders and indifference to the victims they devour. 1:27:48.560 --> 1:27:52.120 The NGOs were the shadowy middlemen in this tragedy, flush 1:27:52.200 --> 1:27:56.200 with taxpayer dollars, yet entangled in political webs that may 1:27:56.240 --> 1:28:01.639 explain the hush. From twenty twenty one to twenty twenty four, 1:28:01.720 --> 1:28:07.439 the federal government funded over ten billion dollars in grants 1:28:07.479 --> 1:28:13.920 to immigration nonprofits for UAC services, unaccompanied Children's services. Catholic 1:28:14.000 --> 1:28:20.080 charities alone, and I've talked about Catholic charities before. Catholic 1:28:20.200 --> 1:28:26.920 charities alone pocketed two billion Lutheran immigration and refugee Services 1:28:27.320 --> 1:28:30.439 two hundred twenty one million dollars in fiscal year twenty 1:28:30.479 --> 1:28:36.880 twenty three, and another group, HIAS forty point nine million. 1:28:38.640 --> 1:28:41.400 The quid pro quo whispers grow louder when you follow 1:28:41.439 --> 1:28:46.639 the money to campaigns. Open Secrets data shows Catholic charities, 1:28:46.640 --> 1:28:51.519 affiliated or affiliates and employees donated over one hundred and 1:28:51.520 --> 1:28:54.559 forty one thousand dollars to the twenty twenty four cycle 1:28:56.240 --> 1:29:01.479 election cycle. That is ninety five percent to Democrats twenty 1:29:01.479 --> 1:29:06.559 two three hundred and five across forty blue lawmakers versus 1:29:06.640 --> 1:29:11.760 a pittance to Republicans. As a Catholic, I'm disgusted and scandalized. 1:29:13.400 --> 1:29:18.519 Broader Professional Catholic Network skewed ninety nine percent Democrat for 1:29:18.680 --> 1:29:24.639 a twenty twenty four analysis, fueling packs like Immigrants lists 1:29:24.640 --> 1:29:28.760 that poured millions in the pro open border candidates. Even 1:29:28.800 --> 1:29:32.920 obtmptibly neutral groups like US Immigration Fund funneled two hundred 1:29:32.920 --> 1:29:36.800 and seventy two thousand dollars in twenty twenty four with 1:29:37.000 --> 1:29:41.720 chunks to Democrat leaders like Hakeem Jeffries, who pocketed or 1:29:41.720 --> 1:29:49.120 his campaign did pocketed fifteen thousand dollars. This financial symbiosis 1:29:49.160 --> 1:29:55.920 breeds silence. Lawmakers reliant on NGO lobbying seven hundred and 1:29:55.960 --> 1:29:58.840 thirty million spent on immigration since two thousand and eight, 1:29:59.160 --> 1:30:01.720 hesitate to buy at the hand that funds their reelection. 1:30:02.800 --> 1:30:05.760 Between January of twenty three and April of twenty twenty four, 1:30:05.920 --> 1:30:12.360 US political campaigns collected around eight point six billion. Democrats, 1:30:12.400 --> 1:30:17.400 the primary beneficiaries, shield the system that sustains their basis priorities. 1:30:18.200 --> 1:30:21.679 Republicans grandstand, but lack the votes for reform until now. 1:30:22.760 --> 1:30:26.439 Children are lost not just to traffickers, but to a 1:30:26.479 --> 1:30:32.559 political machine greased by grants and gratitude. President Trump and 1:30:32.640 --> 1:30:38.040 his unyielding board result bar borders are Tom Homan a 1:30:38.120 --> 1:30:42.639 hercules for our time, slaying the bureaucratic dragons Biden left 1:30:42.640 --> 1:30:47.720 in his way. Since inauguration Day, Trump's iron fisted enforcement 1:30:47.720 --> 1:30:52.160 has sealed the border zero releases in seven months, five 1:30:52.240 --> 1:30:55.599 hundred and seventy nine thousand removals and two point two 1:30:55.880 --> 1:31:01.120 million total departures, the most secure frontier in history. But 1:31:01.200 --> 1:31:05.920 the real miracle over sixty two thousand, four hundred missing 1:31:06.040 --> 1:31:12.559 children Biden's cast offs, ignored and untracked, have been found 1:31:12.800 --> 1:31:17.759 and freed. Homan's eyes glued to the daily tallies revealed 1:31:17.800 --> 1:31:20.680 on Fox News, over sixty two thousand children found by 1:31:20.680 --> 1:31:24.439 the Trump administration, children that weren't even being looked for 1:31:24.640 --> 1:31:29.320 under the Biden administration. Trump saved over sixty two thousand 1:31:29.479 --> 1:31:36.759 lives of children, sex trafficking rings, dismantled forced labor camps, 1:31:36.920 --> 1:31:42.280 raided horrors too vile for the airwaves unearthed on ex 1:31:42.320 --> 1:31:46.880 Homan hailed the unsung heroes of hhs ICE and the FBI. 1:31:48.120 --> 1:31:50.719 They will not stop until we run down every lead 1:31:51.560 --> 1:31:56.800 on every missing child. Trump's no nonsense leadership requires no 1:31:56.920 --> 1:32:03.080 new laws, just resolve, and border crossings have been slashed 1:32:03.080 --> 1:32:09.840 to zero, starving the cartels, reclaiming the innocent. This is 1:32:09.920 --> 1:32:14.639 redemption and action from Biden's abyss of nearly a half 1:32:14.720 --> 1:32:19.280 million ghosts to Trump's tally of triumphs. Yet the scars 1:32:19.400 --> 1:32:22.800 linger a grim testament to left to the leftist priorities. 1:32:23.800 --> 1:32:27.760 As Holman put it, Trump proves daily why he's the 1:32:27.800 --> 1:32:29.600 greatest president in my lifetime. 1:32:33.000 --> 1:32:34.280 And that. 1:32:37.120 --> 1:32:42.400 Is, if you haven't heard about this, if you don't 1:32:42.439 --> 1:32:47.080 know anything about it, it's beyond shameful that this could 1:32:47.080 --> 1:32:52.320 happen in the United States of America and anytime I 1:32:52.360 --> 1:32:55.240 hear anyone talk about what a great president Joe Biden 1:32:55.479 --> 1:32:59.120 was or how great Kamala Harris was, this is what 1:32:59.160 --> 1:33:02.360 I think about, and how they let this happen under 1:33:02.360 --> 1:33:05.800 their watch, and pray to God that it never happens again. 1:33:06.720 --> 1:33:08.680 Time for me to go. I'll see you tomorrow night, 1:33:08.840 --> 1:33:11.000 right back here on the Home of the Reds and 1:33:11.080 --> 1:33:13.840 the best Bengles coverage seven hundred WLW
