20
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: He's got so many best selling books, Bravery Survival and

21
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: the True Story of the Deadliest Submarine in World War Two?

22
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: Can you imagine being one hundred and fifty plus feet

23
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: underwater after your submarine went down and then having to

24
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: go to the surface from that sub this is a

25
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: World War two era thing. No modern technology. Yeah that

26
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: other things happened to the USS Tang got to read

27
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: about that just in a real exciting book and nonfiction

28
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: it is. That's what he writes Tom Clven right there

29
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: for drive cares dot com, right next to Judge Ennina Politano.

30
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: Apparently we're at it again because subject matter again. We've

31
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: talked with Judge before and he and I see eye

32
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: to eye about blowing up boats off the coast of Venezuela,

33
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: and now we've moved him to the Pacific. So apparently

34
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: we are now shooting boats and blowing up boats in

35
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: the Pacific Ocean, Pacific side of South America. We just

36
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: did this the other day. This springs the number of

37
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: strikes I think to eight usually kill most of the

38
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: people on of those, the judge pointed out death hoolls

39
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: now at thirty seven to actually survived. I think it

40
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: was two from the submarine we blew up the other day.

41
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: And I find this to be beyond the pale and unconstitutional.

42
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: Judge feels the same way, draw your own conclusions. I

43
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: know it's politically expedient and it's quick. Just blow them

44
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: up and don't worry about it. What are they going

45
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: to do? Lawyer up. It's a possibility. As the judge

46
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: pointed out, the two people who lived survive may very

47
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: well have a legal cause of action against the United

48
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: States of America for the attempted murder. Just hear what

49
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: the judge has to say and dry your own conclusions.

50
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: Lakita Cole joined the program. She's running for since a

51
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: city council. Oh, look top of the rundown Judge Trekker

52
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: reminding me of something I do remember. But it is

53
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: a reminder. Remind you early voting. It's going on now.

54
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: You don't have to wait till election day to cast

55
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: your vote, and strongly encourages the residents of the City

56
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati, most notably to do that. Although you know

57
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: there are other issues to vote on, lots of school

58
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: levies out there. A lot of listeners have reached out

59
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: to me about the school lovies and people are a

60
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: little upset about the ask. So do your research. Get

61
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 1: a copy of your ballot before you go vote. That

62
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: way you know what to vote on. And please, dear guy,

63
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: pay attention to the judges. Know ahead of time which

64
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: judges you are going to vote for. So important. What

65
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: else American's prosperity. Some results out of Columbus, Ohio bot

66
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: property taxes, A couple of bills are on the way

67
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: to being passed. And of course Jack evident with the

68
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: big picture truly affordable healthcare not really headline Wall Street Journal.

69
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: Get a load of this headline and you got to

70
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: read it to break it down. The average cost of

71
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: a family health insurance plan is now twenty seven thousand

72
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: dollars rose deeply for the third year in a row,

73
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: they say, reaching just under twenty seven thousand dollars for

74
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: a family plan. This annual serve from KFF, which provides

75
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: well health coverage information, six percent increase from last year.

76
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: The prior to years we had seven percent increases. Yes,

77
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: the rising cost of health insurance. You see it every

78
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: single day. Maybe your employer sees it. The employers are

79
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,119
Speaker 1: more likely to pass it along to you. These days.

80
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: Nearly half the United States population gets health coverage through

81
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: their job. But the rising cost of employer coverage is

82
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: becoming a real problem for employers, so they're choosing different

83
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: options to defray the costs passing along to their employees,

84
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: turning things into health savings. Accounts which allow the employees

85
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: to select their own insurance and use the money that's

86
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: allocated into the health insurance savings account to buy whatever

87
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: they want. In other words, the employer isn't directing your

88
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: coverage anymore, just giving you some money that they would

89
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: have paid toward a premium. Premium has become too expensive,

90
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: so keep the money the same and just give it

91
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: to the employee. So that's going on all over the place.

92
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: I always recommend Cover sincy Hey free spot for Cover

93
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: since he call them and see if there's a better

94
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: way to get you insured. Electricity bills going up too,

95
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: Isn't that a wonderful thing. I've got an exclamation to

96
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: point on that. I saw a local story John mattaresee

97
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: who does the investigator reporting, you know, don't don't waste

98
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: your money kind of reporting? Winner Price Outlook, National Energy

99
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: Assistants and Directors Association, whatever that organization is, estimates home

100
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: heating average increased eight percent more this year nine and

101
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: seventy six bucks. But if you heat with electricity, you're

102
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,559
Speaker 1: going to be hit harder. It's average heating cost twelve

103
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: hundred and five dollars. Now, of course, matterise doing what

104
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: he does talks about ways you can lower your your

105
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: energy bill. But it's a typical thing you might think of,

106
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: you know, get a smart thermostat, you know, insulate us insulation,

107
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: et cetera. But it's going up. And what are the

108
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: things is an issue here, although it's probably not first

109
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: and foremost in the hearts of mind to the greater

110
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: Cincinnati voters as they determine who they want to vote

111
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: for for mayor, Aftab Purval is mister green. He's even

112
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: had on the record statements of the effect that he

113
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: views everything that he does as mayor of the City

114
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati first and foremost through the lens of green, green,

115
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: carbon reduction, you know, global warming, et cetera. So with

116
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: that in mind, and I've said many times, so many

117
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: times you probably know exactly what I say rout loud,

118
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: how much impact does the city of Cincinnati has as

119
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: much energy resources and most notably taxpayer dollars are being

120
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: thrown in the way of making us a green city.

121
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: How much good is that going to do on a

122
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: global stage, since we are one tiny city in the world.

123
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: Don't even say, probably not much. It's not going to

124
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: do anything at all. Here's a great fact to support

125
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: my conclusions in that regard. Now, Australia is big on

126
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: trying to reduce their carbon emissions. They spent a lot

127
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: of money Australia does on doing that. They allocate a

128
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: lot of researches, in resources in order to get to

129
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: that net zero carbon emissions. That's our goal. Oh, this

130
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: is great. Every effort the continent of Australia, the country

131
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: of Australia, also continent size, are being totally negated by China,

132
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: which admits as much carbon as much carbon in twelve

133
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: days as Australia does in an entire calendar year. This

134
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: research by the Institute of Public Affairs. According to Chain

135
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: Hussey research fellow, there even in a highly unlikely event

136
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: Australia would would ever reach net zero carbon emissions, this

137
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: would be canceled out every fortnight by China. He's a

138
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: research fellow with this instant, says continuing the pursuit of

139
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: goal of net zero missions amounts to an act of

140
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: devastating economic self harm. Not the words I've selected in

141
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: the past, but I always say we're cutting our own throats.

142
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: Look at what the European Union does, Look at Germany's

143
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: economy after pursuing this, for every ton of emissions Australia

144
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: has cut, let me emphasize this again. I'll say out loud,

145
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: I'm emphasizing it case you can't get the ton of

146
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: my voice for emphasis. For every ton of emissions Australia

147
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: has cut, China has increased its output by thirty six

148
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: thousand tons. Okay. This institute cites a range of other

149
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: measures that it says prove Australia's net zero policy is

150
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: reckless and utterly futile. For instance, China's responsible for seventy

151
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: three percent of the increase in global carbon emissions since

152
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: two thousand and four. Well, during that period of time,

153
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 1: Australia's emissions declined from one point three percent of the

154
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: world's total to one point one percent. Congratulations on that

155
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: zero point two percent drop there, Australia over a full

156
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: decade plus. For every coal fired power station currently operating

157
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: in Australia, China operates sixty six. That's up from fifty

158
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: seven just a few years ago, and they're currently building

159
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: another one hundred and seventy seven coal fired power stations,

160
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: with a further two hundred and twenty six coal fired

161
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: power stations in pre construction phase Australia, how many think

162
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: they have in pre construction in maybe a gleam in

163
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: somebody's eye, stage zero none. This researcher, maintaining zero net

164
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: zero requires turning a blind eye to the significant economic, social,

165
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: and humanitarian cost it is causing. As a Productivity Commission

166
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: recently acknowledged, Australia is pursuing this policy even though our

167
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: emissions do not have any impact on the global climate,

168
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: a continence worth of people. I know that the Australian

169
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: population is not massive, but you're talking about an entire

170
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: country's emissions. What are the emissions of the three hundred

171
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: thousand or so residents of the city of Cincinnati. I'd

172
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: love to see the comparison of that tiny fraction to

173
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: even Australia's total emissions. Massive cost without any meaningful environmental benefit,

174
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: he said. We're seeing the de industrialization of Australia and

175
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: you can scratch out the word Australia. Put the European Union,

176
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: Put any given country in the EU, Put the United

177
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: States in there, if you want. Fortunately, we seem to

178
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: be moving in the opposite direction, waking up to the cold,

179
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: harsh reality that this is a wasted effort if China's

180
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: not going to reduce its missions and reduce its carbon output.

181
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 1: And I really firmly believe that carbon dioxide is plant food.

182
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: It is not a polue, and I don't think it's

183
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: doing a damn thing anywhere anybody. And a volcano will

184
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: put out more carbon than probably China in a given year,

185
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: negating all efforts by all countries in the entire globe

186
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: to reduce their carbon emissions, wildfires, volcanoes. I mean, look,

187
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 1: we could go on for hours. I just wish we

188
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: would collectively wake up to the reality this is just dumb.

189
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: So got that out of my system. Five and three

Speaker 1: to promote mental health and safety for transgender and non

205

211
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: Well along comes Signal ninety nine. Little upset about this

212
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: because as I was reading this, I was I wonder

213
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 1: where Community Shares gets its money. It's a little it's

214
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: money from the broader public. It's got some corporate sponsors.

215
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: If you want to check it out, decide to offer yourself,

216
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: whether you think it's appropriate for the corporate sponsors to

217
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: support this organization. Then the jar your own conclusions, but

218
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: apparently a courd to Signal ninety nine, it's the City

219
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati taxpayers that are parting funding part of this.

220
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: Let me just read what you had to say about this.

221
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: Thank you Signal ninety nine follower on Facebook. Residents of

222
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: the city was waken up to the fact that once

223
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: again their tax dollars are being steered towards a highly

224
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: divisive policy well the city. Since a leadership rolls ahead

225
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: with the second half of a five hundred thousand dollars

226
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 1: fund for transgender and non binary youth services, many ordinary

227
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 1: taxpayers say, hey, I didn't sign up for this, and

228
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: they're less than thrilled about how the money's being spent.

229
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: At the heart of the matter motion by Cincinnati City

230
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: Council to take a quarter of a million dollars every

231
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: year from the city Health Department budget, which signal points

232
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: out dollars secured from the taxpayers and allocated for quote

233
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: mental health and safety services for transgendered and non binary

234
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: youth close quote. Motion introduced by Counselman Mark Jeffery stating quote,

235
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: we need to take care of our kids in this case,

236
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: kids who are in the LGBTQ community who clearly needs

237
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 1: some services and help, mental health assistance close quote. He

238
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: then stated, it's a very small amount that could have

239
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: a pretty significant impact on the lives of these young people.

240
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: Now only pause and interject real quick here, the money's

241
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: being allocated to transgender programs. What does that have to

242
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: do with the lesbian, gay, bisexual, or I don't even

243
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: know what queer necessarily means. It's transgender. So you didn't

244
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: need to put the whole LGBTQ letters together their Jeff,

245
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: I'm making the announcement. It only deals with the t

246
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: all right. Further to signal ninety nine posts and the

247
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: membo from the city manager share along to Council funding

248
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: announcement protecting the mental health and safety of transgender and

249
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: gender non binary Youth. That's the announcement says there is

250
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: a priority focus on projects that provide safe spaces for

251
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: tgd slash non binary youth. Yeah, glaze over your eyes,

252
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: because min remove barriers to participation in healthcare, supports community,

253
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: educate providers in the public on tgd needs, and increased

254
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: opportunities for tgd slash non binary youth. Alah, the I

255
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: has signal ninety nine points out. Not everyone is buying

256
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: the narrative that we're all paying for it, you said,

257
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: she said, In practical terms, does opposed question why the

258
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: tax dollars should be earmarked for a cause they didn't

259
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: vote for, especially when other budget needs loom largead roads

260
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: need repairing, schools need funding. The city pension stressed. Meanwhile,

261
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: that's an understatement, signal a stress city pension. Meanwhile, this

262
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: program is seen by some is pushing a politically charged

263
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: agenda rather than strictly a universal health or social service need.

264
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: Right broadly speaking, she kind of acknowledges that there's some

265
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: people that need some help on services out there. Why

266
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: are they limiting this money just one small slice of

267
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: the population. The t component of the LGBT, q RSWXYZ

268
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: group shed we're all for your marketing. Public health funds

269
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: for mental health therapy generally, but not summer camps, safe spaces,

270
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: legal gender renaming activities and programs, or clothing allowances for

271
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: kids suffering from genderice. For your issues. It's a very

272
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: lengthy post. I only read about half of it. She

273
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: just that makes wonderful, wonderful points, but The reason I

274
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: even interjected her comments was because apparently the and her

275
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: that she's got the quotes from Jefferys and the allocation

276
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: of fundings, the money that went to the Community Shares,

277
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: the outside organization and NNGO, if I might say, was

278
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: allocated for these programs priorities. We got an election coming up.

279
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: Is this an appropriate priority for you? Given the limited

280
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: number of dollars that we have, Would you rather have

281
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: some lane miles or roads paved? Would you rather have

282
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: the money go to mental health generally for all the

283
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: t troubled youth out there, regardless of which category they

284
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: fall into in terms of their sexual preferences or their

285
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 1: clothing preferences. Yeah, that seems to me to be I

286
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm troubled and bothered by that. Bobby and

287

Speaker 5: Good morning, Brian say, I've got a public service announcement

311
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 5: for everybody. You were talking about early voting. I turned

312
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 5: in my absentee ballot request over a month ago. I

313
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 5: hand delivered it to the Hamilton County Board of Elections

314
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 5: and I still have not received my ballot. So I

315
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 5: did call them yesterday. Well, no, first of all, I

316
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 5: went to their website and I checked and it said

317
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 5: that they had received it, but it didn't say that

318
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 5: it was mailed out. So I did call them, and

319
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 5: what they're going to be doing is they're going to

320
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 5: be sending me another ballot. And the lady there mentioned

321
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 5: go ahead and vote on the first ballot that I

322
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 5: received and then turn it in. But we've got less

323
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 5: than two weeks before the election, so I thought i'd

324
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 5: throw that out there. Somebody hasn't received their ballot yet,

325
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 5: they can check the website.

326
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 1: Thanks for the heads up, Carl, I didn't realize they

327
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: were having a problem. I hope it's just an isolated

328
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 1: incident for you that got lost in the mail, or

329
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 1: maybe some idiot stole it. I don't know, but I'm

330
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: happy that they at least let you know what was

331
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: going on.

332
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 5: Right then a comment about the police chief Fiji. That

333
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 5: story has gone international.

334
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: Yep.

335
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 5: They are writing about it in the International News or

336
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 5: International Business Times, in Singapore news Week and Hindu.

337
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 1: Times, I saw it. I do. You're going to say

338
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 1: that for whatever reason, the HINDUO Times has taken a

339
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: keen interest in the city of Cincinnati. Yes, it is funny,

340
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: it is.

341
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 5: And they're doing a much better job at the reporting

342
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 5: than our local reporters. For example, The Hindu or the

343
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 5: International Business Times mentioned that she is making two hundred

344
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 5: and three thousand dollars a year, and I was wondering,

345
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 5: how much you know the salary he was of the

346
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 5: police chief.

347
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: I saw that reported locally as well, Carl, I have

348
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: to acknowledge that.

349
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, okay, I didn't see that.

350
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: I think, honestly, Carl, I think it's irrelevant to the story.

351
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: I mean, her salary is her salary. She was making

352
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: that last year, let's say nothing was going on, and

353
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: this year, I don't think it becomes a relevant issue

354
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: because she's been canned or they're leaning toward getting rid

355
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 1: of her. But yeah, but it has been reported anyway.

356
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 5: Okay. Also, I was wondering, who is Mayor Priirval's campaign

357
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 5: manager to not advise him that firing the police chief

358
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 5: before the election is not a good idea. It's not

359
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 5: a good look at all. You know, they're short on

360
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 5: police officers in the city of Cincinnati, so they do

361
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 5: they get rid of the top cop.

362
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and spend two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars

363
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: on the LGBTQ safe spaces and I guess newsletter.

364
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just heard you say that. Yeah, absolutely ridiculous.

365
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: You could pay a police chief a full year's salary

366
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: with that money, Carl.

367
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:10,719
Speaker 5: Yes, And nobody's mentioned they wasted the money on sending

368
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 5: the police chief out to Denver. I assumed the city

369
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 5: of Cincinnati paid in advance to help this chief go

370
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 5: out there. Sure, there's a fee for that to attend

371
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 5: the conference. There's the hotel, room, plane flight, all of that,

372
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 5: and then they call her back. They could have left

373
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 5: her out there. They could have told her, Hey, when

374
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 5: you're out there, ask some questions. See what we can

375
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 5: do about the crime problem that we're having in Cincinnati.

376
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 5: Maybe some of the other chiefs have some good ideas.

377
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: That's about what we can do here. That's the point

378
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 1: of those conventions, to share information and learn best practices,

379
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: what's worked in some areas, what's failed in others. That's

380
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: the idea of those conferences from my perspective.

381
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, and quick comment about former fire Chief Chief Washington.

382
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 5: There is a photograph of him out there, and he

383
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 5: is dressed in his dress blues, and he is standing

384
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 5: next to the presidential limousine with the presidential seal. If

385
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 5: his lawyers, oh and of course he's he's got his

386
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 5: gold badge on. He looks very handsome. If his lawyers

387
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 5: don't get that picture introduced to the jury, they should

388
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 5: be disparred. I mean that picture is worth not only

389
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 5: a thousand words, it's probably worth one hundred thousand dollars

390
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 5: to his case, maybe up to a million.

391
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, we'll see maybe even a millions of fraction

392
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: of what he's going to get from the City of

393
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: Sincinnta taxpayers when they settle the lawsuit that he will.

394
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he's already won. He was wrongfully terminated. It

395
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: was determined by a judge. So it just becomes a

396
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: question of what size check. I believe the city's going

397
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: to write good parts. Carl, appreciate your call this morning. Man.

398
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: There you can get Bobby in real quick, Joe, real quick, Bobby.

399
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Morning Show.

400
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 6: Happy Thursday, My brother face flag family farms. You keep those,

401
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 6: you always keep your freedom. Yes, sir, well, I got

402
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 6: one thing. What's planned B? And it has to do

403
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 6: with the mayor, city counts to and everything. We may

404
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 6: get a token independent or of somebody on council, but

405
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 6: the mayorage is going to hold his position, and the

406
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 6: council members, if they got a D next to them,

407
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 6: will probably hold theirs.

408
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 3: So we got some.

409
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 6: Of the best listeners and the best course bondings and commentators.

410
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 5: What's planned B?

411
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 6: When they get right back in office? Does anybody have

412
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 6: plan B?

413
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: It's a legitimate question. Perhaps we'll view it the way

414
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: Derek Hunter, opinion editor over at the town Hall, just

415
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: except that New York City has lost his conclusion and

416
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: his op ed piece, why do we care? You probably don't.

417
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: What the hell does anybody care out here beyond the

418
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: residents of New York City that they're going in that direction?

419
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,360
Speaker 1: Watch them fail. Use it as a cautionary tale down

420
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: the road for for future campaigns about what not to do.

421
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: Maybe that's what people outside of the city of Cincinnati

422
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: will be doing relative to the choices that the residents

423
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: of the City of Cincinnati make in the upcoming election. Wow,

424
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: they went full on leftist again. They re elected a

425
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 1: guy who was failing the city. It's only gonna get worse.

426
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 1: Let's sit back, get our popcorn out, as I like

427
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: to say, and watch the whole thing fall apart. Is

428
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: that what we want, it may be what we get.

429
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 1: You have a choice, go ahead and make it. Appreciate

430
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: the call, Bobby five point thirty six. Tom, you're up next.

Speaker 1: and he asked me to pass along to you. If

Speaker 1: you're a Cleave's resident or you're just interested, the Committee

Speaker 1: you do seven pm at Miami Township town Hall tonight. Tom,

444
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: Thanks for calling this morning. Welcome to the Morning Show.

445
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 1: Appreciate you holding over the break there.

446
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, good morning, and thanks for all the all the

447
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:20,479
Speaker 4: good topics there for Carl and Bobby. Good question, Bobby,

448
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 4: what will we do in the sort of likely event?

449
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 4: But you know, let's let's let's keep our let's keep

450
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 4: our hopes up that at the city the citizens of Cincinnati.

451
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 4: I have realized just how ridiculous these democrats are. I mean,

452
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 4: you think of the topics that you had brought up

453
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 4: this morning, and just how dumb it is to be

454
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 4: funding things that, I mean affect a very very small

455
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 4: percentage of people. I'm not saying people don't have problems

456
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 4: and issues to deal with, but why is it the

457
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 4: public's responsibility to deal with these especially if you're talking

458
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 4: about children, that's their parents responsible. You know, maybe we

459
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 4: should be less of a financial burden on families as

460
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 4: a government, and maybe they'll have extra money so that

461
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 4: they can deal with whatever issues their children have, whether

462
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 4: it's that kind of issue or any other health or

463
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 4: mental issue, whatever. But these these democrats are picking these

464
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 4: ridiculous topics because they pull on people's heartstrings and they

465
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 4: affect emotion.

466
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 1: Well some people's heart strings to it doesn't work with me.

467
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 4: Well, I mean it kind of it affects our emotions

468
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 4: because it kind of picks us off that money is

469
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 4: being wasted on this stupid stuff, whether it's Green initiatives,

470
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 4: whether it's the LGBT community. I mean, it does affect

471
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 4: all of us. If we're paying attention, it effects us.

472
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 4: If we're not, if we're just not even bothering worrying

473
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,439
Speaker 4: about this stuff and just voting whatever or however, or

474
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 4: not even voting at all, then yeah, it doesn't affect

475
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 4: But if we're paying attention somewhere or another, we're affected

476
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 4: by this and were called to action one wy or another,

477
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 4: and to speak to people who are voting for this stuff,

478
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 4: who are voting for the people who are in favor

479
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 4: of this stuff, use some common sense. It doesn't make

480
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 4: any sense to be dealing with Green Initiative, Like you said,

481
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 4: I mean, why are we wasting our time with this?

482
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we're talking about That's the easiest one

483
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 1: as far as I'm concerned to focus on. Now, how

484
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 1: they out of the letter Salad chows trans people to

485
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: allocate funding for mental health resources. I'm not quite sure

486
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: if that's fair to the other people that are struggling

487
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 1: in our life's margins financially, who are not trans and

488
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: yet are struggling mental health. But that can be put

489
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: aside and let's focus on the whole green thing. Noting

490
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: that China puts out in twelve days carbon dioxide the

491
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: carbon dioxide output of Australia for an annual carbon dioxide output,

492
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: that point alone illustrates these absolute outright stupidity of Cincinnati

493
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: engaging in any green project period.

494
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 4: Well, I'll hardly agree with that. That's why I'm saying,

495
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 4: you're bringing these topics up, and it's making it obvious

496
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 4: how absurd it is that we're that we're trying to

497
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 4: do or at least they're making it sound like they're

498
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 4: trying to do things, and it's it's it's dumb. And

499
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 4: if you want to make create some safe spaces and

500
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 4: you why not spend money on police officers, Maybe people

501
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 4: like Holly would feel like that, you know, maybe they

502
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 4: could use a safe space, you know, and have a

503
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 4: couple of extra police officers downtown so people aren't acting

504
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 4: stupidly and violently because there's a police officer around. About

505
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 4: how about some safe spaces for the residents and maybe

506
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 4: visitors to the city who are going to spend their

507
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 4: money and actually help economically instead of throwing it. And

508
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 4: it causes that that are not our responsibility as a public.

509
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 4: It doesn't make any sense, so obviously the responses don't

510
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 4: vote Democrat.

511
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: Have a great day, Brian, Thanks Tom, you do the same.

00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: a makeshift flamethrower that will be a lighter and a

581
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:20,160

Speaker 1: lost her life in the fire as the flames and

587
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: thick smoke blocked the escape routes. Lesson to be learned here,

588
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: don't do that. It's doing idiot things because they're idiots

589
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: plenty coming up. Oh look, I guess it's police Chiefdiji's

590
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: and employment at will employee. They don't need cause to

591
00:33:55,320 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: fire her. Huh. Well, as we dive into detail of that,

592
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: think about this, Well, wait a second, why would they

593
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: get rid of her. They can't come up with a

594
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: reason for having put her on unpaid or on paid

595
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: administrative leave. I'm confused by everything that's going on in

Speaker 1: Matt's going to show up at seven thirty in studio

618
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: to talk about this year's honor bus I've been on that.

619
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: It's a lot of fun. Thankfully they let me go,

620
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: even though I'm not a veteran empower you. Jed Harding's

621
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 1: going to join the program at eight to oh five

622
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: tour the Cincinnati Classical Academy. Good thing to do. You

623
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: have education choices fortunately here in the state of Ohio,

624
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: and if I had a young person, I would get

625
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 1: in that really really really long line and hopefully get

626
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,760
Speaker 1: the benefit of that child. My child having a Cincinnai

627
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: Classical Academy education. It wasn't around when my children went

628
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: to school, although they seem to have done okay with

629
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: public education thanks to the Loveland Schools. Anyway, Jay Ratliffe,

630
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 1: I heard me. The aviation expert joins us at eight thirty,

631
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: Looking forward to that as always always fun topics with

632
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: Jay Ratliffe. Feel free to steer the topic of conversation

633
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: here by calling five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty

634
00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:59,879
Speaker 1: five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three talk

635
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: pound five fifty on at and T phones. Wait a minute,

636
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: maybe she doesn't have a contract that requires a four

637
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 1: cause termination. Fox nineteen. Jennifer Edwards Baker says a December

638
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two letter signed by police chief well on administratively,

639
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: Teresa Thiji isn't in line with her attorney's statement the

640
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,240
Speaker 1: other day which he said she can only be terminated

641
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 1: if there's cause. Remember he claimed that as an employee

642
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 1: for more than six months, she's subject to well the

643
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: collective bargaining provisions or something along those lines. Anyway that

644
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: required cause. In other words, there has to be a reason.

645
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,240
Speaker 1: She's not employment at will, which is what most people

646
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: in Ohio are. Not all states have employment at will.

647
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: But if your boss comes in and fires you, in

648
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 1: most cases they don't need a reason. Sorry, we're just

649
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: letting you go, so cause or no cause. So Fox

650
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: nineteen got a copy of this data December twenty twenty two.

651
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: Is document apparently signed by Fiji from the City of Cincinnati,

652
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: where she acknowledges the position of police chief is what

653
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: they call an unclassified position. It explains in writing in

654
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: this case Thiji quote accepting unclassified positions serve at the

655
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: pleasure of the appointing authority and can be dismissed from

656
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: employment without cause at any time. Unclassified employees are not

657
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,879
Speaker 1: recognized under this civil service system, and I think that's

658
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: what the attorney was hanging his hat on, and are

659
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: therefore not afforded civil service protections and or hearing scranted

660
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: classified employees. So a bit of a wrinkle developing here,

661
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 1: we'll see, and then pivoting over, I'm still unclear. Maybe

662
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: you're clear, and that's why I invite you to give

663
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: me a call, because I can't stay up on all

664
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: the reporting on everything in the world. It's literally impossible.

665
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: Has anybody ever articulated a reason why police Chiefdji was

666
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: asked to step away, asked to resign maybe a subject

667
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 1: to getting fired, whether it's for cause or not. What's

668
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: the reason? Is it just crime in the city and

669
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 1: we need escapegoat to blame someone for crime? Does Police

670
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: Chief Theji, or did she when she was actively police chief,

671
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: have any leeway regarding policing policies? That seems like a

672
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,280
Speaker 1: stupid question to even ask. Well, she's chief of police,

673
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 1: of course she's got some leeway. But that's not what

674
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: been rumbling behind the scenes. Because we do have a

675
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: woke administration. We do have a mayor and a council,

676
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 1: most of whom were you know, pro rethinking the police

677
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: when that was all the rage you know, the post

678
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: George Floyd world we live in, and oh my god,

679
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: police are all terrible racists. We need to take money

680
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: away from the police, rethink it and give the money to, oh,

681
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, some non governmental organization who's gonna I

682
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,240
Speaker 1: don't know, engage in some therapy session on the street

683
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: or something. The point being not police officers doing police

684
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 1: officer work, in other words, resting people to have committed

685
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: crimes and sort of presenting a display in order to

686
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 1: maintain public sas safety just by virtue of their visual presence.

687
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: Did she have any authority to do anything? And that's

688
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 1: what's actually gonna come out if this goes anywhere litigation

689
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: or otherwise, these conversations that we all presume happened behind

690
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,919
Speaker 1: the scenes between Purval Cheryl Long and the police chief,

691
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,359
Speaker 1: or maybe Iris Rawley was in the room. I don't know.

692
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to find out. But as of right now,

693
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: one day she's police chief, and you know, in the

694
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: preceding weeks is getting you know, pats on the back

695
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: and rave reviews, and now she's doing a great job.

696
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: YadA YadA, YadA YadA. Next thing you know, the lights

697
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: are turned off. Why does anybody know why? And the

698
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: reason I labor that point, Scott Wartman to the Inquirer

699
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: is reporting that Mayor I have to have par Baal

700
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: said he expects the city's internal investigation into the police

701
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 1: chief to last months. Stead addressing the media off to

702
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: city council meeting yesterday, Purvoll said he could not offer

703
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: details about the internal investigation, referring questions this is great,

704
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: how convenient, referring questions to the city manager Cheryl Long,

705
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: who the mayor is saying is the one that made

706
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: the decision to place Diji on paid administrative leave. I

707
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 1: heard him say that the other day. It's like, what

708
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: Perval and the city manager are the ones that have

709
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 1: controlled over her destiny. They hired her and they can

710
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 1: fire her. That's a two person decision making process. I

711
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: presume Cheryl Long didn't go off on her own and

712
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: let the police chief go or put Parker on the

713
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: side without mayor have to have Provoll's express approval. So

714
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 1: he likes to kind of dodge that, Oh, city Manager,

715
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: I stand by the city manager's decision yet, and you

716
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 1: stand by your own damn decision, Aftab just say it

717
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: out loud, but what are they investigating? Have to have

718
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 1: pro ball. I can't reveal the details about the investigation. Okay,

719
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: well that's convenient. You need to go to city Manager

720
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: Cheryl Long to get questions about that quote. The city

721
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: manager's office declined to comment. I know this goes on

722
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: in politics all the time. It reminds me of like

723
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: everything that happened in Biden's White House. Biden won't answer

724
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: the question. Biden' press secretary won't answer the question, refers

725
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: it over to the Department of Justice. Now you got

726
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: to ask the Department of Justice about that. You go

727
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 1: to the Department of Justice. We don't discuss ongoing investigations.

728
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 1: It's a circular pleasure exercise, if you can read between

729
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: the lines of that statement. So what are they investigating?

730
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: Question mark? We don't know? Why is it gonna take months?

731
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: Don't know? Why was police chief three? Soy Thigi? Let

732
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: go don't know? And I suppose you know if you

733
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 1: draw the conclusions that I'm drawing the investigation, if they

734
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: really are doing one will lead them to conclude. Whoever

735
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: the investigators are, Let's hope it's independent council, not swayed

736
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: by politics. Like that's gonna happen. It'll lead them right

737
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: back to we have to have Parwall's office in city

738
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 1: Manager Cheryl Long's office, where they will have concluded that

739
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,919
Speaker 1: Purvoll and Long are the ones that told police Chief

740
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 1: Fiji how to run her job and how to allocate resources,

741
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: and that it was completely out of her hands because

742
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,879
Speaker 1: while she listened to what they had to say, and

743
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: then here here's the next jump, we decided to park

744
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: Threesadij place her on administrative leave, otherwise fire her, get

745
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: her to resign because she was such a poor police chief.

746
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: She actually listened to what the mayor and the city

747
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 1: manager said, heeded their advice in terms of allocating police resources,

748
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: which resulted in maybe statistically an increase of crime. Or

749
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,320
Speaker 1: we can draw conclusions that the failure of the police

750
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:48,320
Speaker 1: apartment's allocation of resources resulted in some crime hotspots in

751
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:54,399
Speaker 1: the city. That was a dumb decision, a decision made

752
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: by the current mayor and the current city manager. That's

753
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 1: my conclusion right now. But we're all in the collectively,

754
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 1: and I'm sure it's no coincidence that we've been collectively

755
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: left in the dark her to call her earlier, everyone

756
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:10,959
Speaker 1: can equally observe, really really really stupid for the mayor

757
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 1: to go down this road or the city manager to

758
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: go down this road in advance of the election. It's

759
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: two weeks away. People are gonna draw conclusions about it.

760
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: It may impact the outcome of the election. I don't know,

761
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 1: but timing seems really really stupid. And what makes it

762
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:30,399
Speaker 1: really really stupid is because of the secrecy now that's

763
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: surrounding it. If you had a legitimate reason to fire her,

764
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: you'd have set it out loud. I'm doing this for

765
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 1: the best interests of the city of Cincinnati. We have

766
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: determined XYZ and that police Chief Dji's responsible for x

767
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: y Z, all of which you're bad or maybe provide

768
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: a basis for her being fired or whatever. Don't you

769
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: think if you're a politician in that position, you're any

770
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 1: responsible human being. If you're answerable to the people that

771
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,760
Speaker 1: you purport to represent, you give them the straight answer.

772
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: That will be me anyway. Six twenty fifty five KCD

773
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:12,240
Speaker 1: talk station five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five hundred,

774
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 1: eight hundred and eighty two to three talk times five

775
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: fifty on eighteen T phones. Going over to the phones

776
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: right now, I'll see what Mississippi James has got today.

777
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 1: Welcome back, James. Always good to hear from you, sir.

778
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:24,240
Speaker 3: Good morning, sir. Come in peace, love everybody. There's nothing

779
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 3: you can do about it.

780
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: Live a peaceful life with that attitude, James.

781
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 3: Now I'm listening at you and you talk about this

782
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 3: circle of thinking, and that's a good point. It's a

783
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 3: big circle. A lot of interest and exits on this

784
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:41,800
Speaker 3: big old circle depends on where you get in at top,

785
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 3: the bottom, the middle, size, you know, and people have

786
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 3: an opinion coming from where they get into this circle.

787
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 3: All right, I want to talk about the circle of

788
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:56,760
Speaker 3: the public school counseling, the yellow school buses and Metro

789
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 3: funneled all these kids downtown on that Government Square that

790
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 3: was like a Walton that's just waiting to explode. And

791
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 3: when I was rolled at what she's doing down there

792
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 3: for the last two three years. And I'm speaking from

793
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 3: experience because I volunteered down there and she and we

794
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 3: got a bunch of high school, middle school kids, you know,

795
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 3: coming from all parts of the city at one time,

796
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,879
Speaker 3: and they would do what teenage kid would do. Now, Yeah,

797
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 3: it may look disrupted to the downtown business, to the people.

798
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 3: They was running playing clowning. Police get involved, maybe the

799
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 3: kids say, well, I'm not doing anything wrong. Well, that's

800
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 3: sort of like disobeying the direct order. So I think

801
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 3: iris given the circumstance that she did a decent job

802
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 3: for my volunteer. Now, people that have not volunteered to

803
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 3: just listen to the circle of talking on the political

804
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 3: scene that we're into now trying to destroy this lady

805
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 3: when she actually deserve a little credit. I'm not saying praise,

806
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 3: but she stepped into something that was created by canceling

807
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 3: the yellow school buses. And once again I went down

808
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 3: and volunteered two or three times, so I saw firsthand

809
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 3: the potential for calamity to down here.

810
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 1: So what I'm hearing, Okay, let me see if I'm

811
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 1: walking through this correctly with you here, James, I mean,

812
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: you could see a mile away point well taken by

813
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: consolidating all of these young people from different areas of

814
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: town into one central area, which is government square for

815
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 1: pick up and drop off on the buses, that's the

816
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: recipe for disaster. Because let's face it, they're teenagers. We

817
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 1: know how teenagers are. So are you suggesting that because

818
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:51,399
Speaker 1: of they the powers that be created that atmosphere which

819
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:55,800
Speaker 1: led to crime. Iris Rowllie's job in part with allocating funds.

820
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: She got allocated funds to deal with the problem of

821
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 1: government square or the crimel problem, and that she did

822
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,839
Speaker 1: do some good in the aftermath of that consolidation of

823
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 1: young people. Are you saying what we witness because we

824
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:11,840
Speaker 1: continue to witness crime in that area. It hasn't gone away.

825
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: You're saying what Irish really did made it less of

826
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 1: a problem that it would have been, even though it

827
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 1: is a problem still.

828
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, it's less of a problem. And by me volunteer.

829
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,320
Speaker 3: So to other people that's talking, I hope they speaking

830
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:31,359
Speaker 3: from experience instead of just in this political climate where

831
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 3: we're looking to create whether you you know, Democrat, Republic

832
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,400
Speaker 3: or whatever, you need to come down and see for yourself.

833
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:43,840
Speaker 3: Volunteers speak from existing us. I mean from experience, experience.

834
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 3: I say this all the time, but most people will

835
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:52,840
Speaker 3: not well they'll pick up they finel vactim thinking point.

836
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:55,319
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't argue with that logic. You know,

837
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:56,840
Speaker 1: if you really want to know what's going on, you

838
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: got to go down there and live the experience in

839
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 1: some way or another. Whether you're a volunteer, whether you

840
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 1: live downtown maybe experience what it's life and downtown. I

841
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:06,760
Speaker 1: get it, But what specifically are you Because we can't

842
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:13,399
Speaker 1: say with certainty that the problem wouldn't or that would

843
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 1: have been much worse had it not been for the

844
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 1: efforts of Iris Roller. We don't know. Because she has

845
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 1: been engaged for a while with whatever activity she has

846
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,800
Speaker 1: been doing. Now you give her credit, what specifically do

847
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:26,840
Speaker 1: you give her credit for that you believe laed to

848
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 1: less of a problem? What specifically what actions did she take?

849
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 3: Well, she's sort of like a mother Hen over these kids,

850
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 3: and she's very active down there, jumping from group to

851
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 3: group talking to him. So it's that mother Hen type nurse,

852
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:47,280
Speaker 3: and that she did to keep these kids at bay.

853
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:53,840
Speaker 3: There was no magic peel bullet or whatever that legally

854
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,319
Speaker 3: that she was able to do. She came in as

855
00:48:56,360 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 3: that mother Hen with a bunch of little what chicken

856
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 3: chick lit bit is whatever you want to And I'm

857
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 3: using that as a metaphor from a country boy.

858
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 1: I understand that, James, it makes perfect sense. And you

859
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 1: were not in a paid position in your volunteer work

860
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: down there, correct, No, Okay? And you. I'm imagining giving

861
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 1: your comments on the radio show, and your wisdom and

862
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 1: your knowledge and life experience. You were down there, maybe

863
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:24,719
Speaker 1: as a grandfatherly figure or in something in that capacity,

864
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:26,799
Speaker 1: trying to counsel the youth and interact with them.

865
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 3: Correct.

866
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: Okay, Now, if there were more people like you that

867
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 1: we're willing to do that on a voluntary basis, then

868
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 1: we wouldn't need an Irish role, and we wouldn't need

869
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 1: her five hundred and eighty thousand dollars contract. We wouldn't

870
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 1: need her son on the city payroll, indirectly as it

871
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 1: may be, doing work on government square. Shouldn't we as

872
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: a community collectively care about what's going on in counsel

873
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 1: our youth and provide that guidance and expertise and experience

874
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: that our life experience can only provide. That's the obligation

875
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:57,879
Speaker 1: of every human being. And if you're a parent, that's

876
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 1: your damn responsibility. You're the one that's supposed to be

877
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 1: doing that. So we don't need to pay the Irish

878
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:03,879
Speaker 1: rollies of the world to keep our kids in line

879
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 1: because they're unruly and have no ethics and morals and

880
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 1: run them up and do stupid things. That's my take

881
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:09,800
Speaker 1: on it.

882
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 3: That's true. But when the school stopped, it stopped the

883
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 3: school bus. That created a new situation that no one

884
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:19,280
Speaker 3: was ridded.

885
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 1: But you're so right on that. And why do we

886
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 1: use the metro buses to get the kids back and

887
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 1: forth from school? It's always comes down to a cost thing.

888
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: Parents can't get their kids to school. They don't have

889
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 1: the resources, they don't have the funds, they don't have

890
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:34,320
Speaker 1: their own car. Whatever it happens to be used to

891
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:36,759
Speaker 1: be yellow school buses, which was an additional charge. I

892
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: remember my mom writing a check to the school bus company.

893
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: You know, it was back in the seventies. It wasn't

894
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,239
Speaker 1: that much, but whatever, you had to pay for the transportation.

895
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 1: Because some children, some families can't pay for the transportation.

896
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 1: We got to come up with another solution. Can't have

897
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:51,759
Speaker 1: the school bus, the yellow school buses. We have this

898
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: metro system which is underutilized. Let's put the kids on

899
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 1: metro buses. What about the transfer. We got to find

900
00:50:57,200 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: a place to the transfer. Then it comes government square.

901
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:02,919
Speaker 1: So you see governmental solutions to the problem ultimately create

902
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:05,399
Speaker 1: the chaos on government square. We have think we're back

903
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:09,800
Speaker 1: in that circular pleasure fest I alluded to earlier James

904
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 1: Talk station. Thank you, Maureen. I was asking out loud,

905
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 1: why was police chief three g let go call her?

906
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,719
Speaker 1: Let go caller and the ministry whatever? What led to that?

907
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 1: What was the point? Nothing out there by way of

908
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 1: information unless Maureene is onto something I had forgot about

909
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 1: the lawsuit that was filed against her, specifically in the

910
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:35,879
Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati, claiming they discriminated against white people. This

911
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 1: goes back to I think the lawsuit was filed in May.

912
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 1: Officers involved in a federal lawsuit or white guys. They

913
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 1: claim Fiji favors women and people of color when making

914
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 1: assignment decisions, claim they were skipped over for assignments that

915
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 1: are considered career enhancing. Lawsuit claiming that out of the

916
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 1: Cincinni Police departments female lieutenants, eighty nine percent were given

917
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:59,319
Speaker 1: preferred assignments. Seventy nine percent of minority lieutenants also got

918
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 1: preferred assignments, compared to forty four percent of white male

919
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:07,720
Speaker 1: lieutenants being given preferred assignments. Now you may say, well, whatever,

920
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 1: but when you look at the contingent of white versus

921
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 1: women and people of color, sixty five percent of the

922
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 1: lieutenants are white, thirty five percent are women or people

923
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 1: of color. So statistically it does seem that they may

924
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 1: have a good argument here. Now could it be that

925
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:24,320
Speaker 1: I have to have purvol is afraid of this lawsuit?

926
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 1: And could it be the police chief three Thiji's assignment allocation,

927
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: which let's say preferred women and people of color over

928
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 1: white guys, was a directive from the mayor and the

929
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 1: city manager. So ultimately, if the if Thiji was following

930
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 1: their directive to engage in I guess diversity hires, the

931
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:50,799
Speaker 1: whole equity thing, the color chart. You don't have enough

932
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: black people there, you don't have enough women there. Whatever.

933
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:58,759
Speaker 1: If the hiring decisions were not based on merit was

934
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 1: that police chief three Thiji's idea or did she answer

935
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 1: to her boss when making well basically employment decisions. I mean,

936
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 1: if you've got a boss at work, you want to

937
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 1: do one thing, and a lot of people complain about

938
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:15,240
Speaker 1: their management.

939
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:15,360
Speaker 8: Right.

940
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:16,799
Speaker 1: Have you ever been in a business and work for

941
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:18,799
Speaker 1: someone you complain about them? Jeeus, If I was in

942
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 1: that job, I do things a lot better. But then

943
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 1: you're going to have to do what they tell you

944
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:28,360
Speaker 1: to do. Anyway she does report to them, She's not

945
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: just on top of of the totem poll that will

946
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 1: be have to have pervol with Cheryl long right underneath him.

947
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:35,440
Speaker 1: Go ahead and use that as a visual paint that

948
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:40,319
Speaker 1: in your head. So maybe that's it, Maureen. You could

949
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:42,360
Speaker 1: be onto something that's as close as I've heard so

950
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 1: far to something that makes actual, you know, rational sense.

951
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:48,799
Speaker 1: So we're not going to get the answer to that

952
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 1: question before the election, that you might want to factor

953
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 1: it into your voting decisions as you head on into

954
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 1: the polls. I mentioned early voting is in play right now,

955
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 1: six thirty five, right now, if you have k CEDE

956
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 1: talk station, something else you might want to do. My

957
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:06,399
Speaker 1: folks out see the talk station. It's six forty here

958
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 1: for five ker City talk station. Uh, it's widely reported.

959
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 1: I just want to kind of put a thought in

960
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 1: your head of kind of something. I just come to

961
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 1: the conclusion here lots and lots of reporting of late

962
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:22,600
Speaker 1: about all of these multi, multi millions of dollars flowing

963
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 1: into the riots. Basically, I'm gonna boil it down to that.

964
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:31,280
Speaker 1: Some are calling it riot incorporated. You've got millions of dollars.

965
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:35,400
Speaker 1: Arabella network from seventy nine point seven million dollars, seventy

966
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 1: two point one from the Soros Empire, fifty one point

967
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 1: seven million from the Ford Foundation, forty five and a

968
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:44,920
Speaker 1: half million from the Tides Foundation, Rockefeller based organizations shoving

969
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:48,920
Speaker 1: in almost thirty million dollars, Buffet Foundation showing all in.

970
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 1: It all goes into these funds, and it all funds

971
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 1: a lot of these this network of what I'm gonna

972
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:57,360
Speaker 1: call a bunch of terrorists, communists, Antifa, bolm and of

973
00:54:57,360 --> 00:54:59,959
Speaker 1: course segue over to no Kings, it's sort of mutes

974
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:02,760
Speaker 1: all along. If the first one, the ones I remember

975
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 1: at first was Antifa and the occupied I think during

976
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: the Trump's first administration, camped out downtown in the middle

977
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 1: of the streets. They were all over the place, staking

978
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 1: the place up and you know, taking up space and

979
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 1: just generally being a hippie like nuisance. And it kind

980
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: of faded a little bit. I know, they're still out there.

981
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:22,400
Speaker 1: Then he had BLM George Floyd, Right, oh my god,

982
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 1: everybody taking it to the streets. Let's paint them rainbow

983
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: on the street. Let's paint black lives matter. No, only

984
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 1: black lives matter. If you dare interject the concept of

985
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 1: people matter or lives generally matter. You were ridiculed as

986
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 1: being a racist or something. Fine. Didn't make any sense

987
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 1: to me, But whatever we live through that that seems

988
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 1: to have faded away, most notably amid a whole swirling

989
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:45,759
Speaker 1: concerns about corruption within the Black Lives Matter organization. Have

990
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 1: the leaders of the organization not committed to the communism

991
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 1: that they expoused on their website, but more committed to

992
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 1: a commercial capitalist like lifestyle, buying up million dollar homes

993
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:56,800
Speaker 1: and doing weird things with their money. Money that was

994
00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:59,360
Speaker 1: donated to an organization that the donors thought was going

995
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 1: to go to a broader, larger purpose like maybe cleaning

996
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:06,040
Speaker 1: up neighborhoods or making black lives matter, something that will

997
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 1: lead to a betterment of the black live condition. And

998
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 1: I stumbled upon this Christopher Ruffo, who is a fellow

999
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 1: with the Manhattan Institute, and he did an op ed

1000
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,400
Speaker 1: piece and it was really it was sad and depressing

1001
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 1: but revealing at the same time. Here, let me just

1002
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 1: read it to you because I think it's important. So

1003
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 1: he is riding this first person. When I arrived in Minneapolis,

1004
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 1: the frost just lifted a great clouds hung low over

1005
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 1: the horizon. I had come to make a pilgrimage to

1006
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:38,720
Speaker 1: George Floyd Square, where the Revolution of twenty twenty began.

1007
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:41,279
Speaker 1: It's been more than five years since George Floyd lost

1008
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:43,239
Speaker 1: his life and became a patron saint of the left,

1009
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:45,719
Speaker 1: and I wanted to see what had happened here since then.

1010
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:48,920
Speaker 1: The square is situated in a Rundown intersection that now

1011
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 1: features a statue of a clenched black fist in the

1012
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:56,360
Speaker 1: central roundabout. On one corner standza mini market called Unity

1013
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 1: Foods formerly Cup Foods, where George Floyd passed the counterfeit

1014
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,840
Speaker 1: bills that set off the chain of events that culminated

1015
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 1: him his death. Across the street is an abandoned gas

1016
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 1: station that's been covered in graffiti and protest slogan since

1017
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 1: the initial unrest. A group of vagrants had lit a

1018
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 1: bonfire in a metal drum beneath the gas station canopy,

1019
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:17,480
Speaker 1: and when I asked them about Floyd, they avoided the question.

1020
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:20,680
Speaker 1: They weren't interested in politics. They'd chosen that spot to

1021
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 1: light fires, fence stolen goods, and smoke fentanyl because it

1022
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,920
Speaker 1: was peaceful and nobody bothered them. And the friends of

1023
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 1: the year of twenty twenty, politicians in Minneapolis and the

1024
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 1: Minnesota state government made grand promises about what George Floyd

1025
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 1: Square would become. They purchased property and a pledge of

1026
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 1: and pledged monuments. Then as the years passed, the political

1027
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:47,959
Speaker 1: will evaporated and everything ground to a halt. One city

1028
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,560
Speaker 1: official told me the neighborhood wanted to reopen for business,

1029
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 1: while political leaders wanted to preserve the square as an

1030
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 1: ideological symbol. The result, nobody got what he wanted. The

1031
00:57:56,920 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 1: scars of the revolution remained. The intersection of thirty eighth

1032
00:57:59,840 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 1: and Chicago Avenue now is an eerie feeling, as if

1033
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 1: the George Floyd moment were frozen in time. As shattered

1034
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 1: window at Unity Foods has remained unrepaired for five years,

1035
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 1: the graffiti and the bus stop shelters has started a

1036
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 1: chip and peel. The slogans scrawled on the gas station

1037
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 1: walls or fading reminders of the naive embulance of that

1038
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 1: early moment. As I walked around, I spotted two smartly

1039
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:23,200
Speaker 1: dressed white women who appeared to be visiting the square

1040
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:26,200
Speaker 1: as one might a religious shrine, striking up a conversation.

1041
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 1: I learned that one was a Minneapolis resident, the other,

1042
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:31,479
Speaker 1: her sister, was visiting from New York City. They wanted

1043
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:33,840
Speaker 1: to pay the respects to Floyd. They seem to be

1044
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 1: trying not to show fear at the visible homelessness and disorder.

1045
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:41,640
Speaker 1: When I asked the woman about Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frye,

1046
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 1: the woman said no comment. She instead shifted a conversation

1047
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 1: to President Trump, who she said, was, in her words,

1048
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:51,000
Speaker 1: clawing back all of the progress that have been made

1049
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:56,520
Speaker 1: towards social justice. I was dumbfounded. George Floyd Square was

1050
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 1: a single street corner of Minneapolis, fully under the jurisdiction

1051
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 1: of law, local and state authorities who had five years

1052
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 1: to fulfill their promises and turn the square into something more.

1053
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 1: But rather than address this obvious failure, both women blamed

1054
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 1: Trump for the fact that racial justice had not materialized.

1055
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:16,560
Speaker 1: One man was still trying to do something about it.

1056
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 1: He called himself Maestro, presided over a community garden sprawled

1057
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 1: along the street outside Unity Foods. He spoke with the nervous,

1058
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:27,920
Speaker 1: rapid cadence of an addict. After pressing me for a donation,

1059
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 1: Maestro said that the white man continues to promise justice

1060
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 1: but only exploits the black man. Instead of waiting for

1061
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 1: the white city officials to transform the square, he had

1062
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 1: taken it upon himself to evict the homeless campers from

1063
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 1: the bus stop shelter and to bring dozens of potted

1064
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:46,920
Speaker 1: flowers along the road. Maestro had known Floyd from the

1065
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 1: time hustling together on the streets. He seemed to be

1066
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 1: the only one who remembered him in an idealistic way.

1067
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 1: Reggae music throbbed from a bluetooth speaker as he dashed

1068
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:58,920
Speaker 1: madly from plant to plant with a watering can. It

1069
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 1: looked like at his greenhouse. I told him that if

1070
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:03,920
Speaker 1: he kept his plants tightly inside, some might survive the winner.

1071
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 1: Whenever a white person class passed by, he hectored them

1072
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 1: with a QR code, linking them to his Venmo account.

1073
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 1: The scene saddened me. I never supported the George Floyd Revolution,

1074
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 1: and I knew it wouldn't end with I knew it

1075
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 1: would end with disappointment, But to witness that disappointment firsthand

1076
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:28,840
Speaker 1: still stirred a sense of pity. The political leaders who

1077
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:33,000
Speaker 1: turned that summer's events into a multi billion dollar activist

1078
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 1: apparatus never build anything that would last. The fury they

1079
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 1: unleashed remains visible in the abundant storefronts, burned out corners

1080
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 1: of cities like Minneapolis. The promises of social justice has

1081
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 1: vanished into memory. There remains some true believers like Maestro,

1082
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 1: but in the centers of power, the activists have already

1083
01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 1: moved on to the next revolution. Hence the reason I

1084
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:58,480
Speaker 1: outlined this and if followed by you know, black lives matter,

1085
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,440
Speaker 1: followed by you this no king's thing. We're in evolution

1086
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:06,680
Speaker 1: number three or four. Back to his points, may Or

1087
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:09,680
Speaker 1: Fry struggling to salvage his reelection campaign with promises of

1088
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:14,560
Speaker 1: a fordability, while his opponent, left wing Somali politician Omar

1089
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:19,880
Speaker 1: Fata vows to deliver the racialist revolution promised in twenty twenty.

1090
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 1: I left Minneapolis that night for New York City, which

1091
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: has its own mayoral race featuring choices ranging from bad

1092
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 1: to worse. Many residents have seemingly forgotten the damage bad

1093
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 1: leadership can do to a city, and a contest between

1094
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 1: Fry and Fata, the most productive outcome would be for

1095
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:40,720
Speaker 1: both to lose, but inevitably one will win and doing

1096
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 1: so make Minneapolis worse, and neither I would wager will

1097
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 1: build a monument at George Floyd Square. Excellent points, colossal protests,

1098
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:56,400
Speaker 1: promises of the moon and the stars. Moving on to

1099
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:59,920
Speaker 1: the next version of the Revolution, you feel like you

1100
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 1: got your money's worth. Coming up on six forty eighty

1101
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:09,880
Speaker 1: five KRC the talk station and Opportunity it's six point

1102
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 1: fifty two coming with six fifty three five KRCD talk station. Yeah.

1103
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:17,440
Speaker 1: I've had this story in my hands since Monday, and

1104
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 1: since I only have a couple of minutes in this segment,

1105
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 1: I'm just so really really disgusted and disturbed by this,

1106
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:26,480
Speaker 1: and I'm going to go to Colorado on this one.

1107
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 1: They have a clinic now that offers and really is

1108
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:32,120
Speaker 1: proud of this, and this is what is so disgusting

1109
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:38,040
Speaker 1: about it. Organization called RISE Reproductive Health, Inclusive Care, Support

1110
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 1: and Empowerment now one of I guess around five clinics

1111
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:46,520
Speaker 1: in the United States which offers abortion up to thirty

1112
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:52,880
Speaker 1: four weeks of gestation. And I paused for a moment.

1113
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:55,240
Speaker 1: I just I always think of my children. Both of

1114
01:02:55,280 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 1: my children were born at eight months. Both of my

1115
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:05,680
Speaker 1: children were born as healthy as a nine month old gestation.

1116
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 1: They just wanted to get out. They were ready to

1117
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 1: get life going. Why would you? I mean, I can't

1118
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 1: describe this as anything other than murder. You had its

1119
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:19,480
Speaker 1: fetal viability, what is it twenty four weeks now the

1120
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:23,120
Speaker 1: baby can live outside of the womb. I mean that

1121
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 1: you no longer have this whole state involvement kind of thing.

1122
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:29,240
Speaker 3: You know.

1123
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 1: The old argument is, well, where's the feet is going

1124
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:32,200
Speaker 1: togest it? You're gonna put it in a box. You

1125
01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 1: can't remove a baby from a woman who wants to

1126
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:36,200
Speaker 1: abort it. It's a complicating issue. It's how they came

1127
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:38,360
Speaker 1: up with a concept to try mesters in that Roe v.

1128
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:41,919
Speaker 1: Wade decision, which intruded on well all states rights because

1129
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 1: it isn't mentioned in the Constitution. But states have gone

1130
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:46,920
Speaker 1: their own way, and apparently in Colorado you can kill

1131
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 1: a baby up to nine months in Boulder, car This

1132
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 1: is an announcement in Boulder, Colorado, a place with a

1133
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:57,840
Speaker 1: historic legacy of all trimester abortion care. A new chapter

1134
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 1: is rising at Rise collective. We believe that any reason

1135
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:04,520
Speaker 1: you have for needing an abortion care is yours and

1136
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:08,000
Speaker 1: it's the right one. Well, how about this is an option?

1137
01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:10,760
Speaker 1: Since the baby's alive and can walk around basically on it.

1138
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:14,240
Speaker 1: So why not induce labor, give birth, and let somebody

1139
01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:21,880
Speaker 1: adopt the baby rather than just killing it? Pre viability

1140
01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:24,800
Speaker 1: At least you can make this conceptual argument. And I

1141
01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:26,840
Speaker 1: don't want to get into a discussion where life begins.

1142
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:29,400
Speaker 1: Everyone has their own attitude about that. But since the

1143
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 1: baby can't live outside of the womb, the whole point

1144
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:34,120
Speaker 1: of is that the state can't come in and take

1145
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:36,720
Speaker 1: it and you know, bring it all the way through

1146
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 1: gestation where it's viable. I said, women's control thing. But

1147
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:42,880
Speaker 1: you know, if the baby can why would you do that?

1148
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just pleading with the world. Why don't

1149
01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:50,640
Speaker 1: you consider that I can imagine induced pregnancy or induced

1150
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:56,160
Speaker 1: a birth can't be really much more of a challenge

1151
01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 1: than well, slaughtering a baby that could live outside of

1152
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 1: the one while it's in the womb. Point made Sorry,

1153
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:02,560
Speaker 1: I had to get that out of my system. Six

1154
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 1: fifty five. Let's see what Congressman Warren Davidson has to

1155
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:06,000
Speaker 1: say after the top of the hour news get the

1156
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 1: latest on the shutdown? Can we get rid of the irs?

1157
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:12,000
Speaker 1: And are we gonna give Tomahos missiles to the Ukrainians? Matt,

1158
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:14,680
Speaker 1: Damars Vets and Bruce will be in studio. Great guy

1159
01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 1: Matt is helping out the American veteran. We got Honor

1160
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:19,120
Speaker 1: Bus twenty twenty five. He's gonna tell us all about it.

1161
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:24,920
Speaker 1: I hope you can stay. Today's top headlines coming up

1162
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 1: at the top of the hour. Everything will change in

1163
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:31,720
Speaker 1: a moment's moon. I can be heard f KRC Talk

1164
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:51,280
Speaker 1: Station seven o six, the Big About KRC DE Talk

1165
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:54,840
Speaker 1: Station or a Happy Friday, d to you. Great day

01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:56,640

1167
01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:58,960
Speaker 1: moment in time, the return of Congressman Warren Davidson. We

1168
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:00,840
Speaker 1: do have some good members of CORES. He is one

1169
01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:02,800
Speaker 1: of them. At least that's my subjective opinion. I think

1170
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:05,960
Speaker 1: it's an opinion shared widely by my listeners. And thanks

1171
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:09,120
Speaker 1: to the folks that he represents for voting him into

1172
01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:11,800
Speaker 1: office time and time again. Welcome back, Congressman Davidson. It's

1173
01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 1: always great to have you on the fifty five KRC

1174
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:13,959
Speaker 1: Morning Show.

1175
01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:17,000
Speaker 9: Always an honor. Thanks Brian, good to talk.

1176
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:20,760
Speaker 1: So the governments still shut down? Have I missed any

1177
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:23,160
Speaker 1: news breaking their Congressman Davidson.

1178
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:25,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, it is in fact still shut down. I mean,

1179
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:28,800
Speaker 9: so you know a lot of people are coming up

1180
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:31,000
Speaker 9: to me going, well, this is great. I don't really

1181
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:34,000
Speaker 9: notice anything. People that live closer to write Patterson Air

1182
01:06:34,040 --> 01:06:37,439
Speaker 9: Force Base, if not directly, affuc that have a friend

1183
01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:39,800
Speaker 9: or family member that works at the base, and some

1184
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:42,360
Speaker 9: of them are people that are considered quote not essential.

1185
01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:44,600
Speaker 9: People are like, well, why do we have non essential

1186
01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:47,120
Speaker 9: workers in the first place? Well, right, Patterson Air Force

1187
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:50,360
Speaker 9: Base largest employer in the state, and the Air Force

1188
01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:53,600
Speaker 9: procurement hub is at right Patterson Air Force Base. When

1189
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:55,440
Speaker 9: you buy stuff for the Air Force, you know in

1190
01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:57,400
Speaker 9: the show, if they buy it this afternoon, but you've

1191
01:06:57,400 --> 01:06:59,720
Speaker 9: got to buy it eventually. So you know, those are

1192
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:04,000
Speaker 9: people that are quote furlough. They're not at work today.

1193
01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:06,960
Speaker 9: The military people that write Patterson your Force base are

1194
01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:09,760
Speaker 9: at work, but then they're working on any procurement stuff.

1195
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 9: Their productivity is totally disrupted because the people that they

1196
01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:16,160
Speaker 9: need to work with day in and day out, who

1197
01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:18,800
Speaker 9: are civilians, aren't at work in a lot of cases.

1198
01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:21,720
Speaker 9: So you know, those kinds of things go on, they're

1199
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:24,000
Speaker 9: going to be more and more felt, and it's certainly

1200
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:25,680
Speaker 9: going to be more noticeable when at the end of

1201
01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:27,760
Speaker 9: the month, a lot of people.

1202
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:30,120
Speaker 1: Don't get paid, well, no question, they're going to start

1203
01:07:30,120 --> 01:07:33,120
Speaker 1: feeling the sting of that now, are there. My understanding

1204
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:35,800
Speaker 1: is that most government employees have resources available to them

1205
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:38,640
Speaker 1: where they can get no interest loans from banks because

1206
01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 1: the banks know full well that they are going to

1207
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 1: get paid and fully reimbursed once the government opens back up,

1208
01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:45,120
Speaker 1: so it's a no risk loan for them. Is that

1209
01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:49,000
Speaker 1: a widely available thing, so people aren't literally not eating

1210
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:51,280
Speaker 1: or incapable of paying their rent that kind of thing.

1211
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:56,720
Speaker 9: Yeah, Yeah, those resources are out there. Everyone's communicating that

1212
01:07:56,840 --> 01:08:01,640
Speaker 9: to employees, including the companies that want their business. But

1213
01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:04,880
Speaker 9: if they don't already have an account with you know,

1214
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 9: USA Navy, Federal Credit Union, Congressional Credit Union, you know,

1215
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 9: et cetera, all those kinds of things, and a lot

1216
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:16,240
Speaker 9: of normal privacy right, credit union will do the same

1217
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:19,640
Speaker 9: for a lot of people. You know, a lot a

1218
01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:23,160
Speaker 9: lot of banks will do it even you know, depending

1219
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 9: on your relationship with them and the fact that you

1220
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:29,040
Speaker 9: have direct depositive with a government paycheck, they know the

1221
01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:32,040
Speaker 9: money's going to eventually be there. So you know, we're

1222
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:36,120
Speaker 9: working right now obviously occasionally trying to convince Democrats that

1223
01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:38,080
Speaker 9: they should change their mind. I think a lot of

1224
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:41,080
Speaker 9: people are rooting for the congressional staffers on the Senate

1225
01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:44,120
Speaker 9: Democrats staff to say, hey, boss, you know, maybe we

1226
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:48,080
Speaker 9: should consider the CR thing since the ended want approaches.

1227
01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:50,920
Speaker 9: But in the meantime, you know, right now, if we

1228
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:53,559
Speaker 9: head past the CR and Democrats have just said okay,

1229
01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:57,799
Speaker 9: we would be right now doing hearings and meetings and

1230
01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:01,800
Speaker 9: working on appropriations so that come November twenty first, we

1231
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:04,960
Speaker 9: don't need another CR. We've actually got everything funded on time.

1232
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:07,640
Speaker 9: So you know, that's what brings me to DC this

1233
01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:11,040
Speaker 9: week working on legislation, trying to make sure that we

1234
01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:13,800
Speaker 9: have our ducks in a row so that we know

1235
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:16,800
Speaker 9: what we want funded, what the priorities are, because we're

1236
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:19,439
Speaker 9: going to have to run a faster playbook if we

1237
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:22,080
Speaker 9: ever get open. But in some of the collaboration on

1238
01:09:22,120 --> 01:09:25,960
Speaker 9: a non appropriations bill is working with a Democrat colleague

1239
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:30,679
Speaker 9: to strategize how we might get this across the finish line,

1240
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 9: and they're like, well, you know, if it's not open

1241
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:36,559
Speaker 9: by mid November, you know, it's kind of going to

1242
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:39,240
Speaker 9: push us probably into twenty twenty six before we can

1243
01:09:39,320 --> 01:09:42,559
Speaker 9: even get a vote on the floor and you're like, wow, okay,

1244
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:46,560
Speaker 9: well thanks for talking about topic X. But interesting perspective

1245
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:48,880
Speaker 9: on the shutdown. So I think mentally there are a

1246
01:09:48,920 --> 01:09:50,599
Speaker 9: lot of Democrats that are like, yeah, I mean, we're

1247
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:53,400
Speaker 9: not upset that Republicans haven't held hearings and aren't making

1248
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:56,680
Speaker 9: progress on their agenda. So it's really up to the

1249
01:09:56,680 --> 01:09:59,160
Speaker 9: public to persuade Democrats to say, you know, you've got

1250
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:01,519
Speaker 9: to open it up, or it's up to the Senate

1251
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:04,559
Speaker 9: to say, Okay, this sixty vote rule probably has to

1252
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 9: go away on appropriations because they've got a majority of

1253
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:11,200
Speaker 9: the Senate, they just don't have that sixty vote rule.

1254
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 9: And that isn't actually even on the bill that it's

1255
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:16,920
Speaker 9: called cloture. It's like the rules. They say, all right,

1256
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:20,759
Speaker 9: we're going to have a vote on X on the topic,

1257
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:24,320
Speaker 9: and they need sixty votes to get that done. Well,

1258
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:26,000
Speaker 9: if they see what happens.

1259
01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:29,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you see any cracks in the dam on

1260
01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:31,480
Speaker 1: the Democrats side? I guess I'm kind of wondering if

1261
01:10:31,520 --> 01:10:33,920
Speaker 1: anybody takes the moment in time to look at this

1262
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:36,880
Speaker 1: logically and reasonably, they would understand that the cr is

1263
01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:40,160
Speaker 1: Biden era funding level. You didn't do anything to interrupt

1264
01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:42,639
Speaker 1: that level of funding. That was their level of funding,

1265
01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 1: So they don't have any to complain about keeping things

1266
01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:47,280
Speaker 1: as status quo on that now. I know the Big

1267
01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:49,599
Speaker 1: Beautiful Bill did some things they were very unhappy with,

1268
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:53,200
Speaker 1: but a Republican shouldn't be unringing that bell. The Democrats

1269
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:56,680
Speaker 1: are responsible for the deadline of the subsidies. They incorporated

1270
01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:58,640
Speaker 1: that into what was the Inflation Reduction Act. It was

1271
01:10:58,680 --> 01:11:00,400
Speaker 1: an extension that put took it to the end of

1272
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:02,519
Speaker 1: this year. They have no one to blame for themselves

1273
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:05,599
Speaker 1: for ending the subsidies in the original legislation, you know,

1274
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:07,800
Speaker 1: something that was a big red flag that's been waving

1275
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:11,760
Speaker 1: since the moment Biden signed that into law. So it

1276
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:13,479
Speaker 1: you know, and just get there of another so you

1277
01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:16,160
Speaker 1: can do the work to get the twelve appropriations bills

1278
01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:20,320
Speaker 1: fully passed. I don't get it. Is there any like

1279
01:11:20,439 --> 01:11:22,160
Speaker 1: poll out there that you can rely on. Is there

1280
01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:24,840
Speaker 1: any perception that you've reached that the American public is

1281
01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:28,839
Speaker 1: painfully aware this is squarely in the Democrats' hands.

1282
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 9: I think that's what the polling shows. But you know,

1283
01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:35,480
Speaker 9: there are people that will still try to blame Republicans

1284
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:39,599
Speaker 9: well of course, you have a control of the House,

1285
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:42,320
Speaker 9: the Senate and the White House, and the controlled media

1286
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:45,080
Speaker 9: will publish whatever the Democrats tell them to.

1287
01:11:45,160 --> 01:11:48,000
Speaker 1: Overlooking the sixty vote majority needed in the Senate. I

1288
01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:49,880
Speaker 1: mean that goes back to the rules, And that was

1289
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:51,759
Speaker 1: what my next question was going to be, Congressman Davidson.

1290
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:54,040
Speaker 1: Is that where we're headed to get rid of that?

1291
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1292
01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:57,760
Speaker 9: You know, I think some of the Democrats want that

1293
01:11:57,800 --> 01:11:59,479
Speaker 9: because they were trying to get it done in the

1294
01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:02,120
Speaker 9: first place, yep. And they want Republicans to break the

1295
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 9: day on that so they don't have to take the

1296
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:10,240
Speaker 9: blame for breaking it, you know. But for oh gosh,

1297
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:15,960
Speaker 9: I'm drawing her name from Arizona and mansion from West Virginia.

1298
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:18,240
Speaker 9: They had two Democrats that didn't go along with the plan.

1299
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:21,000
Speaker 9: They were going to pack the clerks, recognize Puerto Rico

1300
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:24,080
Speaker 9: and DC estates and all kinds of stuff right with

1301
01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:26,720
Speaker 9: civil majorities. But you had two Democrats that didn't go

1302
01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:29,760
Speaker 9: along with the plan to break the sixty vote rule.

1303
01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 9: So I think that that this is part of the

1304
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:35,720
Speaker 9: play for Democrats, is they want Republicans to break the

1305
01:12:35,720 --> 01:12:39,240
Speaker 9: sixty vote rules so that if they ever get you know,

1306
01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:42,160
Speaker 9: back into RL of the Senate. They can do everything

1307
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:45,439
Speaker 9: with the cimpral majority in the Senate, So that's that's

1308
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:48,120
Speaker 9: that's at play here. There are a lot of people

1309
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:50,040
Speaker 9: that feel like the sixty vote rule is an important

1310
01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:54,640
Speaker 9: time on our tradition, it does develop some form of consensus.

1311
01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:58,040
Speaker 9: But the idea that to your point, this isn't like

1312
01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:03,479
Speaker 9: the Republican Appropriation Package, it, you know, massively changes funding

1313
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:08,920
Speaker 9: on our regular appropriations process. We haven't got that done yet.

1314
01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:13,080
Speaker 9: We're still negotiating that. And the CR is just status

1315
01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:15,519
Speaker 9: quote funding what they voted for when Joe Biden was

1316
01:13:15,560 --> 01:13:19,519
Speaker 9: president and they controlled the Senate. So this is the

1317
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:23,760
Speaker 9: first time ever that anyone is used the leverage of

1318
01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:28,000
Speaker 9: votes to shut down the government over status quo funding.

1319
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:32,400
Speaker 9: People have had objections over a priority or another and

1320
01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:34,400
Speaker 9: said well I'm not going to give my vote to that,

1321
01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:38,720
Speaker 9: and that resulted in a shutdown. But this is the

1322
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:41,080
Speaker 9: first time that it was well, okay, we're going to

1323
01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:43,400
Speaker 9: call a truce and just do status quo as we

1324
01:13:43,479 --> 01:13:47,080
Speaker 9: negotiate all these things, and then the other party said, well,

1325
01:13:47,200 --> 01:13:52,120
Speaker 9: we'll just shut it down. So the problem is Democrats

1326
01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:54,439
Speaker 9: are being rewarded for it with their base and a

1327
01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:58,519
Speaker 9: lot of a lot of public quotes. I mean the

1328
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:03,360
Speaker 9: whip the Democrat up Clark from Massachusetts. She's out there saying, yeah,

1329
01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:06,639
Speaker 9: we're fine with it if it causes some suffering. This

1330
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:10,519
Speaker 9: is going to create leverage for us. It's very intentional play,

1331
01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:14,559
Speaker 9: and they basically want the headlines of families that need whatever,

1332
01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:17,800
Speaker 9: people that aren't getting food stamps and everything, and then

1333
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:20,519
Speaker 9: try to put pressure on Trump. And honestly, I think

1334
01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:23,080
Speaker 9: that's why they want to get to Thanksgiving because they'll say,

1335
01:14:23,520 --> 01:14:27,960
Speaker 9: these heartless people are are letting people go into Thanksgiving

1336
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:32,160
Speaker 9: with you, and the media will cover the lies. It's like, well, look,

1337
01:14:32,240 --> 01:14:33,720
Speaker 9: you guys are the ones that shut it down. The

1338
01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:36,840
Speaker 9: votes are called, they're recorded. People can check who voted

1339
01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:39,720
Speaker 9: to keep the government open and who didn't. It's Democrats.

1340
01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:42,519
Speaker 1: A congressman, David's a real quick here before we part

1341
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:44,679
Speaker 1: company and come back and talk about the irs, among

1342
01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:47,840
Speaker 1: other things. In terms of the sixty vote majority, how

1343
01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:50,360
Speaker 1: many votes does it take to change that rule?

1344
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:53,920
Speaker 3: You know, that's a good question.

1345
01:14:54,320 --> 01:14:56,439
Speaker 9: It's a Senate rule, and I think they can do

1346
01:14:56,479 --> 01:15:02,160
Speaker 9: it with a simple majority of majority. About this, of

1347
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:04,240
Speaker 9: the majority of the Senate so all the all the

1348
01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:07,599
Speaker 9: the majority of the Senate does it. So if all

1349
01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:09,800
Speaker 9: the Republicans in the Senate worked together, they would be

1350
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:10,360
Speaker 9: able to do it.

1351
01:15:10,400 --> 01:15:11,920
Speaker 1: All right, how about this as a play, just to

1352
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:14,600
Speaker 1: let you leave it there. I'm just saying, do the

1353
01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:18,479
Speaker 1: change and rule vote, get the government back open, and

1354
01:15:18,520 --> 01:15:20,800
Speaker 1: then the next day vote to change the rule back

1355
01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:21,920
Speaker 1: to sixty and move on.

1356
01:15:24,120 --> 01:15:24,600
Speaker 3: Yeah. You know.

1357
01:15:24,680 --> 01:15:26,599
Speaker 9: One of the proposals, and this is from a guy

1358
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 9: in the House, is what if we made it a

1359
01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:35,360
Speaker 9: law that there's a sixty vote rule, and then you

1360
01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:37,479
Speaker 9: make the Democrats take the vote so you can see

1361
01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:39,320
Speaker 9: who really wants to get rid of the sixty vote

1362
01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:43,479
Speaker 9: rule and who doesn't, and then it would require the House,

1363
01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:45,920
Speaker 9: the Senate, and the President to change the sixty vote

1364
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:49,240
Speaker 9: rule and all like. Well, that's an interesting strategy. I

1365
01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:52,439
Speaker 9: personally liked the old the old sixty vote rule. Before

1366
01:15:52,439 --> 01:15:55,280
Speaker 9: it was a sixty vote rule, it was three fifths

1367
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:57,360
Speaker 9: of the members present on the floor of the Senate.

1368
01:15:58,479 --> 01:16:01,519
Speaker 9: Change this in the seventies and then if you wanted

1369
01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:04,599
Speaker 9: to shut everything down, you had to actually be present

1370
01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:08,920
Speaker 9: on the floor of the Senate. So, yeah, you could

1371
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:09,280
Speaker 9: do it.

1372
01:16:09,360 --> 01:16:10,360
Speaker 3: You could work together, but.

1373
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:13,320
Speaker 9: You would literally have to hold the floor, and the

1374
01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 9: only thing that could get done is what was being

1375
01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:19,000
Speaker 9: held up on the floor. So then public pressure mounted,

1376
01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:22,920
Speaker 9: and of course everybody's attention was focused because four to

1377
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:25,680
Speaker 9: seven the only thing going on in the Senate, and

1378
01:16:25,720 --> 01:16:29,000
Speaker 9: that's the mister Smith goes to Washington thing. He eventually

1379
01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:31,320
Speaker 9: ran out of steam because you didn't have anyone to

1380
01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:35,200
Speaker 9: hand the baton too. But if you just have you know,

1381
01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:38,720
Speaker 9: two people doing it, you could take you know, two

1382
01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:41,000
Speaker 9: hours at a time, three hours at a time, and

1383
01:16:41,040 --> 01:16:45,000
Speaker 9: take blocks and rotate. So obviously, if you've got forty

1384
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:49,720
Speaker 9: forty seven Democrats working together, you can schedule shifts and

1385
01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:52,439
Speaker 9: keep the floor held open, but you would literally have

1386
01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:54,400
Speaker 9: to hold the floor to do it. And that's the

1387
01:16:54,439 --> 01:16:55,519
Speaker 9: old filibuster rule.

1388
01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:57,559
Speaker 1: People, I guess don't want to show the Senate, so

1389
01:16:58,120 --> 01:16:59,599
Speaker 1: then want to show up and do their job. Conors

1390
01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:02,080
Speaker 1: Moore and Day and should we just tell the irs

1391
01:17:02,080 --> 01:17:03,880
Speaker 1: to go away? We're gonna ask him that question coming

1392
01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:06,599
Speaker 1: up seven to seventeen, fifty five KRCD Talk Station. Lead

1393
01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:11,439
Speaker 1: Talk Station seven twenty one fifty five KRCD Talk Station.

1394
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:14,679
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas here with Congressman Warren Davidson appreciate his willingness

1395
01:17:14,720 --> 01:17:16,479
Speaker 1: to come on with fifty five KRC mornings and talk

1396
01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:20,439
Speaker 1: about important issues, like here's a quote from somebody, Congressman Davidson.

1397
01:17:20,439 --> 01:17:22,559
Speaker 1: Do you know who said this quote? I'm rooting for

1398
01:17:22,560 --> 01:17:24,839
Speaker 1: the IRS to be closed. I've got a constitutional amendment

1399
01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:27,120
Speaker 1: to repeal the sixteenth Amendment. I think it's a massive

1400
01:17:27,160 --> 01:17:30,080
Speaker 1: invasion of privacy to collect all this information from citizens

1401
01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:32,320
Speaker 1: in the first place, and so I hope we will

1402
01:17:32,360 --> 01:17:35,040
Speaker 1: be we will completely repeal the sixteenth Amendment and fully

1403
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:37,880
Speaker 1: close the IRS. That sounds like a great idea. Who

1404
01:17:37,920 --> 01:17:39,320
Speaker 1: came up with that one?

1405
01:17:39,640 --> 01:17:42,960
Speaker 9: Oh, that's Warren Davidson. That's a pretty good quote. I'm

1406
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:43,920
Speaker 9: glad you found it.

1407
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:44,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1408
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:47,080
Speaker 9: I was doing a CNN interview and they wanted to

1409
01:17:47,120 --> 01:17:49,760
Speaker 9: try to say, oh, Trump's doing these bad things to

1410
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:52,160
Speaker 9: the IRS and people are getting laid off and he's

1411
01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:54,720
Speaker 9: going to abuse the power of the IRS and weaponized

1412
01:17:54,760 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 9: government and everything, And they brought me on to try

1413
01:17:57,400 --> 01:17:59,960
Speaker 9: to try to get me to box into that corner.

1414
01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:03,120
Speaker 9: I mean, well, the purpose of the interview was something else,

1415
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:06,120
Speaker 9: but that's the always situate, some ambush stuff. So that

1416
01:18:06,160 --> 01:18:09,080
Speaker 9: was one of their little ambush things, and I'm like, well,

1417
01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:11,639
Speaker 9: I didn't even want the IRS to exist. I'm trying

1418
01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:14,640
Speaker 9: to close the whole thing. So that certainly changed the

1419
01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:17,160
Speaker 9: conversation a bit. They weren't really prepared for that angle.

1420
01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:20,800
Speaker 1: Well, the comical part of that is weize Donald Trump

1421
01:18:20,920 --> 01:18:24,760
Speaker 1: weaponizing the government against the IRS. Well, okay, you know,

1422
01:18:24,800 --> 01:18:27,040
Speaker 1: go back to who's responsible for the shutdown. I think

1423
01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:29,320
Speaker 1: we've clearly concluded the Democrats are, So that gives Donald

1424
01:18:29,320 --> 01:18:32,320
Speaker 1: Trump an opportunity to quote unquote weaponize the executive brand

1425
01:18:32,400 --> 01:18:33,960
Speaker 1: to do a whole lot of things the otherwise wouldn't

1426
01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:35,519
Speaker 1: have the power to do if the government was open. Fine,

1427
01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:39,240
Speaker 1: they created that scenario, but the IRS itself was weaponized

1428
01:18:39,240 --> 01:18:42,240
Speaker 1: against the are the American people, Lois Larner. She was

1429
01:18:42,640 --> 01:18:46,000
Speaker 1: treating the conservative organizations terribly and denying them five oh

1430
01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:48,200
Speaker 1: one to three C status, much like you know, Eric

1431
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:50,920
Speaker 1: Holder's Justice Department went after banks who were doing business

1432
01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:55,160
Speaker 1: with lawful firearms manufacturers and pay they lenders, weaponizing these

1433
01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:59,200
Speaker 1: governments against the own people. And even more comical Congress

1434
01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:01,599
Speaker 1: than Davidson. I got to this in the tax code

1435
01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:05,400
Speaker 1: itself is weaponized to protect the interest of politicians and

1436
01:19:05,479 --> 01:19:09,960
Speaker 1: special interest in large money donors, like major corporations. It's what,

1437
01:19:10,120 --> 01:19:13,080
Speaker 1: ten thousand plus pages long. It is filled with loopholes

1438
01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:16,320
Speaker 1: and write INDs and carve outs and exemptions and incentives,

1439
01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:19,560
Speaker 1: and listen. I hate the code being used to incentivize

1440
01:19:19,560 --> 01:19:21,720
Speaker 1: the American people for literally anything. And I hate it

1441
01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:24,080
Speaker 1: being used as a carrot and stick mechanism to get

1442
01:19:24,160 --> 01:19:25,800
Speaker 1: us to do what we might not want to do.

1443
01:19:27,479 --> 01:19:31,639
Speaker 9: Amen, I mean one hundred percent all that is exactly like,

1444
01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:35,439
Speaker 9: That's exactly it. I hate the income tax. I get it.

1445
01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:38,320
Speaker 9: We got to pay some form of tax, right, you know. Okay,

1446
01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:40,320
Speaker 9: I don't like property tax that much either, but at

1447
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:42,759
Speaker 9: least you vote on it locally and spend it locally.

1448
01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:47,360
Speaker 9: The income tax is first and foremost this surveillance tool.

1449
01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:51,040
Speaker 9: You know, did somebody pay you? Did you pay somebody else?

1450
01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:52,880
Speaker 9: Did you buy or sell something? Did you make or

1451
01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:54,559
Speaker 9: lose money? Did somebody give you a gift?

1452
01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:55,360
Speaker 3: Did you give a gift?

1453
01:19:55,439 --> 01:19:57,559
Speaker 9: Was the gift too generous? What kind of car do

1454
01:19:57,600 --> 01:19:59,800
Speaker 9: you drive? What kind of windows do you have in

1455
01:19:59,800 --> 01:20:01,960
Speaker 9: your house? How many kids are in your house? You know,

1456
01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:05,280
Speaker 9: et cetera, et cetera, All this insane stuff you're like,

1457
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:06,920
Speaker 9: get out of my life and get a warrant if

1458
01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:07,599
Speaker 9: you need to know that.

1459
01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:08,040
Speaker 1: Amen.

1460
01:20:08,760 --> 01:20:12,320
Speaker 9: And then it's so complicated. The Democrats wanted to hire

1461
01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:16,439
Speaker 9: eighty seven thousand more IRS agents. I mean, it's five

1462
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:19,840
Speaker 9: infantry divisions worth of VIRS agents. They wanted to add

1463
01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:24,360
Speaker 9: to the already too large IRS. So thankfully westalled the

1464
01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:27,800
Speaker 9: plan to grow the IRS. But we need to build

1465
01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:30,479
Speaker 9: momentum towards just going ahead and deleting the whole thing.

1466
01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:33,120
Speaker 1: Well, we eradicated slavery in this country, and I can't

1467
01:20:33,200 --> 01:20:35,400
Speaker 1: view the income taxes anything more than slavery because I

1468
01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:37,280
Speaker 1: can do the math when I look at the percentage

1469
01:20:37,280 --> 01:20:39,080
Speaker 1: of my income the federal government takes out of my

1470
01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:42,599
Speaker 1: check in form of income tax, and they can set

1471
01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:45,439
Speaker 1: it at whatever level they want. Historically it's been eighty

1472
01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:48,639
Speaker 1: plus percent in the old days. Right remember the Taxman

1473
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:50,599
Speaker 1: song from the Beatles, when the Brits are being tacked

1474
01:20:50,600 --> 01:20:52,799
Speaker 1: at ninety five percent of a certain amount of income.

1475
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:56,639
Speaker 1: You are literally working for the government. They are taking

1476
01:20:56,720 --> 01:21:00,519
Speaker 1: you our salary. In other words, they're taking your labor literally.

1477
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:02,640
Speaker 1: I suppose you could argue without your consent, although I

1478
01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:05,160
Speaker 1: do know it's a constitutional Amendment. But come on, it's

1479
01:21:05,240 --> 01:21:07,920
Speaker 1: for slavery.

1480
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:11,360
Speaker 9: Yeah. You know, people talk about McCarthyism, and you know,

1481
01:21:11,400 --> 01:21:14,800
Speaker 9: I certainly wasn't alive back in the McCarthy era, but

1482
01:21:14,880 --> 01:21:17,800
Speaker 9: they talk about, you know, oh, it was all a

1483
01:21:17,840 --> 01:21:20,480
Speaker 9: hoax and there wasn't really a big threat of communism.

1484
01:21:20,840 --> 01:21:22,800
Speaker 9: And you're like, well, what was the tax rate at

1485
01:21:22,800 --> 01:21:27,200
Speaker 9: that time? Well, okay, it was ninety percent? Like okay, well,

1486
01:21:27,320 --> 01:21:30,000
Speaker 9: I guess the government known everything, but ninety percent quite

1487
01:21:30,040 --> 01:21:35,559
Speaker 9: a lot, right, So it's not a vindication of everything

1488
01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:37,400
Speaker 9: the guy might have done. But you're like, yeah, there

1489
01:21:37,400 --> 01:21:41,479
Speaker 9: were some concerns because the government's like, you know, Jesus

1490
01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:44,120
Speaker 9: famous saying, you know, render under Caesar what is Caesar's

1491
01:21:44,120 --> 01:21:45,879
Speaker 9: and render under God? What is God's?

1492
01:21:46,479 --> 01:21:46,599
Speaker 4: Uh?

1493
01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:50,680
Speaker 9: The problem with the communists they think everything is Caesar's.

1494
01:21:50,520 --> 01:21:53,120
Speaker 1: Right, leaving nothing for God, which is part and part

1495
01:21:53,120 --> 01:21:54,960
Speaker 1: of the communist strategy. They don't believe in God either.

1496
01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:58,200
Speaker 1: Congressman Warren Davidson, what are the good ones? Keep going up,

1497
01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:00,200
Speaker 1: keep up the great work. Congressman Davidson, you'll have a

1517
01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:53,880
Speaker 1: I try to make up for that lack of Oh,

1518
01:22:53,920 --> 01:22:57,479
Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll call myself a coward. I know

1519
01:22:57,600 --> 01:23:00,960
Speaker 1: you right, you didn't serve any you're making up for it, Okay, Well,

1520
01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:03,719
Speaker 1: see that's the point. You know, everybody does something.

1521
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:06,200
Speaker 2: Two of my favorite things are craft beer and veterans.

1522
01:23:06,240 --> 01:23:08,160
Speaker 2: So can you put that a way to put them together?

1523
01:23:08,200 --> 01:23:11,040
Speaker 1: And you put vets first, so it's not Bruce and vets,

1524
01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:14,880
Speaker 1: it's Bruise. You can find them with that's in Bruce

1525
01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:17,439
Speaker 1: dot com. It looks like at least a quarter of

1526
01:23:17,439 --> 01:23:19,920
Speaker 1: the website, which probably isn't you know ready real time

1527
01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:23,720
Speaker 1: up to date, thirty four hundred beers donated to the

1528
01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:27,280
Speaker 1: deserving veterans. And you've raised another one of my favorite organizations,

1529
01:23:27,280 --> 01:23:30,599
Speaker 1: Patriots Landing, and they're play an integral role in this.

1530
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:34,080
Speaker 1: Patriots Landing is the wood shop where veterans come and

1531
01:23:34,160 --> 01:23:36,960
Speaker 1: you know, commiserate and share each other's experience and make

1532
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:40,519
Speaker 1: these wonderful craft items that you can buy. Patriots Landing website.

1533
01:23:40,680 --> 01:23:43,559
Speaker 1: Check it out and support them. You donate a portion

1534
01:23:43,680 --> 01:23:46,280
Speaker 1: of the like if I give you ten dollars, seven

1535
01:23:46,320 --> 01:23:49,120
Speaker 1: dollars goes to buy the beer and three dollars goes

1536
01:23:49,160 --> 01:23:53,200
Speaker 1: to Patriots Landing. Correct, so far you've raised about twenty

1537
01:23:53,200 --> 01:23:56,360
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars for Patriots Landing alone. That little slice.

1538
01:23:56,439 --> 01:23:58,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's nuts, I mean, and.

1539
01:23:58,439 --> 01:24:00,200
Speaker 1: This is the third year you've been doing this.

1540
01:24:00,200 --> 01:24:03,599
Speaker 2: This will for vets and Bruce total. I started right

1541
01:24:03,640 --> 01:24:05,519
Speaker 2: before COVID, but then you know, we weren't out in

1542
01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:09,240
Speaker 2: a brewery. So really it's been post COVID is all

1543
01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:09,760
Speaker 2: the time that.

1544
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:11,679
Speaker 1: I've read years that I was taught four.

1545
01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:13,760
Speaker 2: This will be my fourth year for Honor Buss. So

1546
01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:15,320
Speaker 2: it's it's crazy, man.

1547
01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:18,439
Speaker 1: It really is, but I like it. And then the

1548
01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:21,280
Speaker 1: speaking of Patriots Landing, you have the donation box for

1549
01:24:21,400 --> 01:24:25,880
Speaker 1: your organization in the flag case that was made by

1550
01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:27,920
Speaker 1: Patriots Landing, got a little slot in it. It's got

1551
01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:29,800
Speaker 1: a plex class cover like it would cover the flag,

1552
01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:32,080
Speaker 1: and the money fits in there. So folks, if you're

1553
01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:36,960
Speaker 1: out at a bar, a pub, a participating brewery, stuff

1554
01:24:37,040 --> 01:24:38,680
Speaker 1: some money in the Patriot Landing box and there.

1555
01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:40,439
Speaker 2: If you're a veteran and you see that, go up

1556
01:24:40,439 --> 01:24:42,439
Speaker 2: to the bar and say, hey, old I'm a veteran,

1557
01:24:42,479 --> 01:24:43,880
Speaker 2: and they'll have a beer ready for you.

1558
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:44,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

Speaker 2: I prepaid for.

1560
01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:48,920
Speaker 1: Him, prepaid. And don't be that guy who who claims

1561
01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:50,400
Speaker 1: to be a veteran just to get a free beer.

1562
01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:53,439
Speaker 1: There's a special place in hell for anyone who would

1563
01:24:53,479 --> 01:24:56,080
Speaker 1: do that. Anyway, your impetus behind this to help the

1564
01:24:56,080 --> 01:24:59,640
Speaker 1: American veteran. But you know, conceptually what prompted you to

1565
01:24:59,680 --> 01:25:00,759
Speaker 1: do this? Matt Damaris.

1569
01:25:10,200 --> 01:25:11,880

1641
01:28:02,439 --> 01:28:05,400
Speaker 2: in that atmosphere every time the bus pulls in. Then

1642

1651
01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:37,320
Speaker 2: I don't know what the amount is, but some portion

1652
01:28:37,439 --> 01:28:39,840

01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:48,160
Speaker 1: will be because he prints the T shirts out with

1682
01:29:48,160 --> 01:29:51,480
Speaker 1: sponsors on it. So that's all a great thing. And

1683
01:29:51,840 --> 01:29:54,400
Speaker 1: I guess the stops are important for my listening audience

1684
01:29:54,439 --> 01:29:56,400
Speaker 1: because you don't have to be on the bus to

1685
01:29:56,479 --> 01:29:59,000
Speaker 1: on the veterans much like you said, CDG on or

1686
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:02,479
Speaker 1: flight next Tuesday at a Lunkin Airport for that to

1687
01:30:02,479 --> 01:30:04,400
Speaker 1: the last one of the year. But just show up

1688
01:30:04,479 --> 01:30:06,639
Speaker 1: either show up at you know, twelve o'clock at dead

1689
01:30:06,640 --> 01:30:09,240
Speaker 1: Low Brewery. Make it stop over at Wooden Caspering the

1690
01:30:09,280 --> 01:30:11,240
Speaker 1: next stop it's close to two o'clock and you get

1691
01:30:11,240 --> 01:30:13,320
Speaker 1: all the details on the website, and of course then

1692
01:30:13,320 --> 01:30:15,160
Speaker 1: you got your final stop to the West Cyberings. Show

1693
01:30:15,240 --> 01:30:16,719
Speaker 1: up there if you can be there by three o'clock

1694
01:30:16,760 --> 01:30:18,400
Speaker 1: three thirty get a part to be a part of

1695
01:30:18,439 --> 01:30:21,000
Speaker 1: the welcome ceremony. But I want to mention the bus

1696
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:23,280
Speaker 1: itself out loud because I just asked you off air

1697
01:30:23,360 --> 01:30:25,439
Speaker 1: on this and I'm gonna breach orthodoxy here, and I'm

1698
01:30:25,439 --> 01:30:27,800
Speaker 1: gonna get Joe Strekker really angry at me, and I

1699
01:30:27,840 --> 01:30:30,040
Speaker 1: will take I will follow on the sword to the

1700
01:30:30,080 --> 01:30:32,840
Speaker 1: extent I'm violating any rules of procedure here. But since

1701
01:30:32,880 --> 01:30:36,280
Speaker 1: I consider the space on the bus at zero monetary value,

1702
01:30:36,320 --> 01:30:38,800
Speaker 1: it is a charity. We're doing charitable work here for

1703
01:30:38,800 --> 01:30:42,040
Speaker 1: the American veteran. There are two seats available for veterans.

1704
01:30:42,439 --> 01:30:45,160
Speaker 1: If you are a veteran or you have a veteran

1705
01:30:45,200 --> 01:30:46,840
Speaker 1: in your world and you know that they'll join the

1706
01:30:46,880 --> 01:30:49,960
Speaker 1: fun on November eighth, it's a Saturday, and they want

1707
01:30:49,960 --> 01:30:52,719
Speaker 1: to be on the bus for these multiple stops. Call

1708
01:30:52,840 --> 01:30:55,120
Speaker 1: seven four, nine fifty, five hundred, eight hundred and eighty

1709
01:30:55,160 --> 01:30:56,920
Speaker 1: two to three talk or pound five fifty on at

1710
01:30:57,000 --> 01:30:59,280
Speaker 1: and T phones. Joe, just write down your name, maybe

1711
01:30:59,280 --> 01:31:01,599
Speaker 1: just a tiny bit of information so Matt can verify

1712
01:31:01,640 --> 01:31:04,080
Speaker 1: you when you show up at Dedlow Brewer to get

1713
01:31:04,120 --> 01:31:06,720
Speaker 1: on the bus. Right, yep, call right now seven four

1714
01:31:06,800 --> 01:31:08,960
Speaker 1: nine fifty eight hundred and eight two to three TOC.

1715
01:31:09,000 --> 01:31:11,080
Speaker 1: We'll fill those two spots up. We got two solid

1716
01:31:11,080 --> 01:31:13,639
Speaker 1: busses full and all the fun that goes along with it.

1717
01:31:14,960 --> 01:31:17,439
Speaker 1: And it really is kind of an interesting from a

1718
01:31:17,479 --> 01:31:20,920
Speaker 1: civilian standpoint or one who hasn't served to watch the

1719
01:31:21,040 --> 01:31:23,960
Speaker 1: veterans do their thing. They've got their own ceremonies and

1720
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:25,960
Speaker 1: what's the toast? Remember the toast they did? Is that

1721
01:31:26,040 --> 01:31:26,840
Speaker 1: the Marine toast?

1722
01:31:26,880 --> 01:31:29,640
Speaker 2: Yeah? The Marine Corps Toast isn't happening this year. Unfortunately,

1723
01:31:29,680 --> 01:31:32,120
Speaker 2: he's still involved. He got Toys for Tots, involved with

1724
01:31:32,120 --> 01:31:36,000
Speaker 2: West Side Brewing. He's going through some medical stuff so

1725
01:31:36,040 --> 01:31:37,800
Speaker 2: he won't be able to attend this year, but he's

1726
01:31:37,800 --> 01:31:42,120
Speaker 2: still contributing with the with the connecting West Side to

1727
01:31:42,120 --> 01:31:44,840
Speaker 2: Toys for Tots. So, but we do different things there.

1728
01:31:44,880 --> 01:31:47,360
Speaker 2: The big one for me is the honoring Vietnam vets.

1729
01:31:47,360 --> 01:31:49,200
Speaker 2: My dad was a Vietnam Vet and as I grew up,

1730
01:31:49,200 --> 01:31:52,200
Speaker 2: we always went to these veteran events and he was like, man,

1731
01:31:52,400 --> 01:31:54,360
Speaker 2: they didn't do this stuff for us when we came home,

1732
01:31:54,400 --> 01:31:56,200
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Right, So it's like it's

1733
01:31:56,200 --> 01:31:59,120
Speaker 2: special to me I'm kind of honoring him with these.

1734
01:31:59,160 --> 01:32:02,360
Speaker 2: So we we pull the Vietnam veterans down away from

1735
01:32:02,439 --> 01:32:05,720
Speaker 2: the civilians. We surround them with the veterans on the

1736
01:32:05,760 --> 01:32:08,200
Speaker 2: honor bus, and they're family and friends, and it's only

1737
01:32:08,240 --> 01:32:10,960
Speaker 2: five ten minutes, but we we kind of honor them

1738
01:32:10,960 --> 01:32:12,320
Speaker 2: and welcome them home properly.

1739
01:32:12,680 --> 01:32:15,519
Speaker 1: Fair enough. That's great. Seven four nine fifty five hundred,

1740
01:32:15,600 --> 01:32:17,160
Speaker 1: eight hundred and eighty two to three talk or a

1741
01:32:17,160 --> 01:32:19,720
Speaker 1: pound five fifty fill those two spots up on the

1742
01:32:20,240 --> 01:32:23,440
Speaker 1: honor bus twenty twenty five. You plan it on continuing

1743
01:32:23,439 --> 01:32:25,519
Speaker 1: this on into the future. I presume I am.

1744
01:32:25,800 --> 01:32:28,320
Speaker 2: Every year, it's getting bigger, and I've got a big

1745
01:32:28,400 --> 01:32:29,840
Speaker 2: announcement that I'm gonna be making.

1746
01:32:30,479 --> 01:32:32,639
Speaker 1: I'm trying to tease it without giving away anything.

1747
01:32:32,680 --> 01:32:35,880
Speaker 2: Matt, I'm not gonna say it man cough, but uh, yeah,

1748
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:39,679
Speaker 2: we every year I try to surprise or like kind

1749
01:32:39,680 --> 01:32:42,720
Speaker 2: of upgrade the experience for the veterans on there. You know,

1750
01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:45,680
Speaker 2: I'm trying to outdo myself every year, and uh, I'm

1751
01:32:45,680 --> 01:32:47,719
Speaker 2: pretty sure I've done it this year, and I can't

1752
01:32:47,720 --> 01:32:49,000
Speaker 2: wait to tell everybody.

1753
01:32:48,720 --> 01:32:51,519
Speaker 1: What it is. Yeah, I am really excited for you

1754
01:32:51,560 --> 01:32:54,240
Speaker 1: and the organization I think they're going to make a

1755
01:32:54,280 --> 01:32:57,200
Speaker 1: big splash on into the future and you're gonna have

1756
01:32:57,240 --> 01:33:01,080
Speaker 1: a special surprise. Also, assuming the weather is good. Yeah,

1757
01:33:01,120 --> 01:33:02,680
Speaker 1: which stop is that going to take place on?

1758
01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:05,240
Speaker 2: That's going to be at Deadlow, the very first one the.

1759
01:33:05,240 --> 01:33:08,360
Speaker 1: Check Okay, yeah, Well, all I can say is, and

1760
01:33:08,400 --> 01:33:10,000
Speaker 1: I'm not allowed to reveal it, it's going to be

1761
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:13,599
Speaker 1: pretty damn cool at Deadlow brewering for veterans. So if

1762
01:33:13,600 --> 01:33:16,280
Speaker 1: you're please please show up for that as well. All right,

1763
01:33:16,320 --> 01:33:18,439
Speaker 1: one more time seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight

1764
01:33:18,520 --> 01:33:20,120
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty two to three talk pound five fifty

1765
01:33:20,160 --> 01:33:21,320
Speaker 1: on AT and T phones. So there's got to be

1766
01:33:21,320 --> 01:33:23,280
Speaker 1: a couple of veterans in the listening audience right now

1767
01:33:23,280 --> 01:33:24,880
Speaker 1: that want to go on this. It's such a hell

1768
01:33:24,880 --> 01:33:27,120
Speaker 1: of a good time. I've been there, I've done that.

1769
01:33:27,200 --> 01:33:29,479
Speaker 1: You're not going to be disappointed. So fill the two spots.

1770
01:33:29,520 --> 01:33:31,439
Speaker 1: Give just Trecker a call and just drop your name.

1771
01:33:31,920 --> 01:33:35,120

1772
01:33:35,120 --> 01:33:36,800

Speaker 1: encourage you to keep up the great work and encourage

Speaker 2: Heck yeah, I appreciate you brother.

01:33:44,360 --> 01:33:46,720
Speaker 1: Anytime you hang in there. Keep up the great work.

01:33:54,360 --> 01:33:59,360
Speaker 1: krc DE talk station. I actually don't you do an

1781
01:33:59,600 --> 01:34:02,320
Speaker 1: You know, I got a remaining segment here if we

1782
01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:03,559
Speaker 1: get to the top of the our News and then

1783
01:34:03,600 --> 01:34:07,160
Speaker 1: we'll hear from Jed Harding's tour the Cincinni Classical Academy

1784
01:34:07,160 --> 01:34:11,080
Speaker 1: and Power Use seminar, and boy, I just bush the

1785
01:34:11,120 --> 01:34:13,840
Speaker 1: Classical Academy was around. My kids were starting school out,

1786
01:34:13,880 --> 01:34:15,519
Speaker 1: so join and getting the line to go to the

1787
01:34:15,560 --> 01:34:19,759
Speaker 1: Sinsan Classical Academy to ensure your children have a fantastic education.

1788
01:34:20,880 --> 01:34:22,479
Speaker 1: That's coming up after the top of the our News.

1789
01:34:22,720 --> 01:34:25,880
Speaker 1: Nobody called for the bus spots. I'm just surprised about that,

1790
01:34:26,720 --> 01:34:30,880
Speaker 1: but I didn't want to get into this quote unquote controversy,

1791
01:34:30,920 --> 01:34:33,280
Speaker 1: faux outrage and then left his pulling its hair out

1792
01:34:33,320 --> 01:34:36,720
Speaker 1: of Donald Trump's ballroom, and it's just kind of making me.

1793
01:34:36,920 --> 01:34:39,599
Speaker 1: I mean, the White House, you know, is in constant

1794
01:34:39,600 --> 01:34:42,240
Speaker 1: need of approvals and upgrades or improvements and upgrades and

1795
01:34:42,240 --> 01:34:43,519
Speaker 1: all that kind of thing. And yeah, this is a

1796
01:34:43,560 --> 01:34:45,640
Speaker 1: huge construction project and they don't have a whole lot

1797
01:34:45,680 --> 01:34:49,599
Speaker 1: to complain about it. I suppose Trump's paying for it himself.

1798
01:34:49,600 --> 01:34:52,400
Speaker 1: It's all private donations, so not a single taxpayer dollar

1799
01:34:52,439 --> 01:34:57,320
Speaker 1: has been spent. Many people have complained about the space

1800
01:34:57,400 --> 01:34:59,479
Speaker 1: limitations in the past about the White House. The currently

1801
01:34:59,560 --> 01:35:01,840
Speaker 1: the White House only can handle like two hundred people.

1802
01:35:01,920 --> 01:35:03,439
Speaker 1: So when you have a state dinner and you want

1803
01:35:03,439 --> 01:35:06,160
Speaker 1: to invite all the huhas from around the world, two

1804
01:35:06,200 --> 01:35:08,519
Speaker 1: hundred seats just doesn't cut it, which means they quite

1805
01:35:08,600 --> 01:35:11,880
Speaker 1: often extend the events out into the outside of the building.

1806
01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:14,720
Speaker 1: So this one's going to have sixty six hundred and

1807
01:35:14,760 --> 01:35:20,200
Speaker 1: fifty seats ninety thousand square feet. But people are upset

1808
01:35:20,200 --> 01:35:23,040
Speaker 1: about it. Oh my god, he's ruining history and all that.

1809
01:35:23,160 --> 01:35:24,800
Speaker 1: So go ahead and be distracted by that and the

1810
01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:26,439
Speaker 1: pain of attention to the fact that government's will want

1811
01:35:26,439 --> 01:35:30,599
Speaker 1: to keeping the government shut down. Treasury Department said, since

1812
01:35:30,640 --> 01:35:33,519
Speaker 1: they have a view of the construction site from where

1813
01:35:33,520 --> 01:35:36,240
Speaker 1: they're situated relative to the White House, apparently a lot

1814
01:35:36,240 --> 01:35:38,439
Speaker 1: of the Treasury Department folks are taking pictures that are

1815
01:35:38,479 --> 01:35:41,679
Speaker 1: showing up and going viral on the online. The Treasury

1816
01:35:41,720 --> 01:35:45,320
Speaker 1: Department has instructed its employees do not share photos of

1817
01:35:45,360 --> 01:35:51,400
Speaker 1: the demolition. Apparently it presents a security issue or something.

1818
01:35:53,120 --> 01:35:55,200
Speaker 1: Court of the spokesman for the Treasury Department that would

1819
01:35:55,200 --> 01:35:59,559
Speaker 1: sent the email photos could quote potentially reveal sensitive items,

1820
01:35:59,640 --> 01:36:06,120
Speaker 1: including security features or confidential structural details. I suppose the

1821
01:36:06,160 --> 01:36:08,320
Speaker 1: complicated endeavor to work on the White House and all

1822
01:36:08,320 --> 01:36:10,680
Speaker 1: the security issues you got to have on that. And

1823
01:36:11,439 --> 01:36:14,559
Speaker 1: I remember comments from some of my political science professors

1824
01:36:14,600 --> 01:36:18,680
Speaker 1: talking about espionage and how during the Cold War they

1825
01:36:18,720 --> 01:36:22,240
Speaker 1: were so meticulous and concerned about the Soviets sneaking in

1826
01:36:22,479 --> 01:36:26,200
Speaker 1: and incorporating into these secret rooms, in these quiet rooms

1827
01:36:26,200 --> 01:36:29,439
Speaker 1: and these supposedly offline rooms that no one can bug,

1828
01:36:29,560 --> 01:36:32,280
Speaker 1: that they were in there installing bugs while the construction

1829
01:36:32,439 --> 01:36:35,120
Speaker 1: was going on. So it just brought back memories of

1830
01:36:35,160 --> 01:36:38,200
Speaker 1: those comments from my political science professor. Anyway, go ahead

1831
01:36:38,200 --> 01:36:40,519
Speaker 1: and complain, I'm sure now you know. And I think

1832
01:36:40,560 --> 01:36:44,400
Speaker 1: what they're really angry about most is that it doesn't

1833
01:36:44,400 --> 01:36:48,880
Speaker 1: include taxpayer dollars, and that every time they walk into

1834
01:36:48,920 --> 01:36:52,479
Speaker 1: the newly constructed ballroom, they're going to have to somewhere

1835
01:36:52,479 --> 01:36:54,360
Speaker 1: in the back of their mind be thinking about this

1836
01:36:54,400 --> 01:37:00,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't exist but for Donald Trump. And he's probably doing

1837
01:37:00,960 --> 01:37:05,719
Speaker 1: this to create that lasting legacy, that constant, ever present

1838
01:37:06,240 --> 01:37:09,439
Speaker 1: thorn in their side. He knows he's living in their brain,

1839
01:37:09,560 --> 01:37:12,080
Speaker 1: rent free. And this is a way long after Donald

1840
01:37:12,120 --> 01:37:17,960
Speaker 1: Trump leaves this mortal earth for him to continue to

1841
01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:20,680
Speaker 1: annoy people. Now, I'm sure it's not going to have

1842
01:37:20,720 --> 01:37:22,880
Speaker 1: a big golden Trump sign on it. Probably won't you

1843
01:37:22,960 --> 01:37:27,200
Speaker 1: have a plaque acknowledging Donald Trump paid for it. But

1844
01:37:27,280 --> 01:37:31,320
Speaker 1: it was built by Donald Trump and it being part

1845
01:37:31,320 --> 01:37:33,040
Speaker 1: of the White House, I suspect it's going to be

1846
01:37:33,080 --> 01:37:36,200
Speaker 1: around long, long after all of us have moved on

1847
01:37:36,320 --> 01:37:39,200
Speaker 1: to the next phase of our journey. Seven fifty five

1856
01:38:04,880 --> 01:38:07,400
Speaker 1: Folks out there listening audience have children and grandchildren that

01:38:07,439 --> 01:38:09,840
Speaker 1: are of K through twelve age. You know you may

1858
01:38:09,880 --> 01:38:12,840
Speaker 1: be disappointed in your school offerings. You aren't going to

1859
01:38:12,880 --> 01:38:15,920
Speaker 1: be disappointed in the Cincinnati Classical Academy. Joining me today,

1860
01:38:15,960 --> 01:38:21,320
Speaker 1: Back when the fifty five KRC Morning Show, Doctor Jed Hardings,

1861
01:38:21,400 --> 01:38:24,880
Speaker 1: the Westside native I went to Xavier High School, went

1862
01:38:24,880 --> 01:38:26,640
Speaker 1: to the University of Notre Dame, got a PhD in

1863
01:38:26,680 --> 01:38:29,200
Speaker 1: neuroscience from the University of Pittsburgh, and he served as

1864
01:38:29,240 --> 01:38:31,920
Speaker 1: a medical research officer in the US Army and left

1865
01:38:31,920 --> 01:38:34,000
Speaker 1: the services rank of major. Thank you for your service

1866
01:38:34,040 --> 01:38:38,040
Speaker 1: to our country. And throughout his business life highly successful,

1867
01:38:38,040 --> 01:38:40,639
Speaker 1: and then he realized, well we have a massive decline

1868
01:38:40,640 --> 01:38:45,200
Speaker 1: in American education. He is responsible for founding the Cincinnati

1869
01:38:45,240 --> 01:38:47,479
Speaker 1: Classical Academy back in twenty nineteen. Welcome back to the

1870
01:38:47,520 --> 01:38:49,400
Speaker 1: morning show, Doctor Hardings. That is a real pleasure to

1871
01:38:49,400 --> 01:38:50,120
Speaker 1: have you on today.

1872
01:38:51,520 --> 01:38:52,439
Speaker 8: Thanks so much, Brian.

1873
01:38:52,760 --> 01:38:56,040
Speaker 1: How does one start a school? This is so you know, folks,

1874
01:38:56,080 --> 01:38:59,439
Speaker 1: tonight seven pm. It's an empower you America's seminar, a

1875
01:38:59,640 --> 01:39:02,479
Speaker 1: tool of the Sincant Classical Academy. So you're not logging

1876
01:39:02,520 --> 01:39:03,840
Speaker 1: in from home, and you're not showing up at the

1877
01:39:03,880 --> 01:39:06,240
Speaker 1: Empower Youth Studios. You're actually going to show up at

1878
01:39:06,240 --> 01:39:08,160
Speaker 1: the Sin Santa Classical Academy. We'll get the details on

1879
01:39:08,160 --> 01:39:11,240
Speaker 1: that in a minute, but it's a great concept bringing

1880
01:39:11,240 --> 01:39:15,280
Speaker 1: the Hillsdale College classical education on a college level to

1881
01:39:15,439 --> 01:39:20,200
Speaker 1: K through twelve education. So conceptually it's a bulletproof idea

1882
01:39:20,320 --> 01:39:23,240
Speaker 1: given the needs we have out here in the education world.

1883
01:39:23,280 --> 01:39:26,080
Speaker 1: But the idea of going out and starting a school,

1884
01:39:26,120 --> 01:39:28,200
Speaker 1: that'd be like peace of God for me. Doctor Harding's

1885
01:39:28,320 --> 01:39:30,200
Speaker 1: where does one start and how are you able to

1886
01:39:30,200 --> 01:39:31,559
Speaker 1: successfully pull this off?

1887
01:39:33,880 --> 01:39:35,920
Speaker 8: Well, I mean it was the labor of love, Brian,

1888
01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:39,679
Speaker 8: But you know, I was blessed with having a great education,

1889
01:39:39,800 --> 01:39:42,479
Speaker 8: but there were you know, as you grow up and

1890
01:39:42,520 --> 01:39:47,120
Speaker 8: you'll learn about the world. I realized how many omissions

1891
01:39:47,120 --> 01:39:51,639
Speaker 8: there were of sort of essential knowledge from that education.

1892
01:39:52,400 --> 01:39:55,920
Speaker 8: And when I discovered that Hillsdale curriculum and how rich

1893
01:39:55,960 --> 01:40:00,080
Speaker 8: it is in its content, how deep it dives, the

1894
01:40:00,160 --> 01:40:03,519
Speaker 8: number of requirements, you know, the course work there, it's

1895
01:40:03,560 --> 01:40:08,040
Speaker 8: not optional, it's not elective to study you know, great literature.

1896
01:40:08,200 --> 01:40:13,559
Speaker 8: You have to study it, so you just get filled

1897
01:40:13,560 --> 01:40:16,599
Speaker 8: with this passion to offer this gift of pure gold

1898
01:40:16,640 --> 01:40:20,639
Speaker 8: to our next generation and help form human beings who

1899
01:40:21,280 --> 01:40:26,120
Speaker 8: are going to benefit society for decades to come with

1900
01:40:26,240 --> 01:40:28,960
Speaker 8: their learning. So it just becomes such a great passion

1901
01:40:29,080 --> 01:40:31,960
Speaker 8: that we had to do it. And it took about

1902
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:36,559
Speaker 8: three years. We started in twenty nineteen on the founding

1903
01:40:36,600 --> 01:40:39,080
Speaker 8: effort and we didn't open the doors of the school

1904
01:40:39,120 --> 01:40:42,120
Speaker 8: until three years later. So it's just a matter of

1905
01:40:42,160 --> 01:40:45,800
Speaker 8: rolling up your sleeves and asking the right questions and

1906
01:40:45,840 --> 01:40:48,760
Speaker 8: then doing the work to find the answers to how

1907
01:40:48,800 --> 01:40:49,599
Speaker 8: you can make this work.

1908
01:40:50,120 --> 01:40:52,720
Speaker 1: And of course along the way and if from the

1909
01:40:52,800 --> 01:40:54,840
Speaker 1: whole old if you build it, they will come. You

1910
01:40:54,920 --> 01:40:56,880
Speaker 1: build a better mouse trap, people are going to buy it.

1911
01:40:56,920 --> 01:40:58,920
Speaker 1: You build a better school structure in the school system,

1912
01:40:58,960 --> 01:41:01,880
Speaker 1: you provide classical occasion, people are going to knock down

1913
01:41:01,920 --> 01:41:04,479
Speaker 1: the doors wanting to get in. You always have You've

1914
01:41:04,479 --> 01:41:06,360
Speaker 1: always had like a waiting list, and you started out

1915
01:41:06,400 --> 01:41:08,960
Speaker 1: with a limited numbers. It was like K through four

1916
01:41:09,320 --> 01:41:12,400
Speaker 1: or six, I can't remember the initials, the initial of

1917
01:41:12,479 --> 01:41:16,959
Speaker 1: the student body K through six, Yeah, K through.

1918
01:41:16,720 --> 01:41:20,280
Speaker 8: Six, and we were we had all feats filled that

1919
01:41:20,360 --> 01:41:24,040
Speaker 8: first year and the growing weight list that blossomed in

1920
01:41:24,800 --> 01:41:28,360
Speaker 8: nearly five hundred students by the next year, and what

1921
01:41:28,479 --> 01:41:32,080
Speaker 8: was impressive to me was was how we had ninety

1922
01:41:32,160 --> 01:41:35,320
Speaker 8: nine percent student retention from that very first year to

1923
01:41:35,360 --> 01:41:39,320
Speaker 8: the next year, and that's been sustained through these years.

1924
01:41:39,400 --> 01:41:42,160
Speaker 8: So we still have a long waitlist, but have now

1925
01:41:42,200 --> 01:41:47,160
Speaker 8: grown to K through nine with nearly one thousand students,

1926
01:41:47,360 --> 01:41:50,599
Speaker 8: and that first ninth grade class, that first high school class,

1927
01:41:50,640 --> 01:41:53,719
Speaker 8: will we'll go on to tenth and eleven and twelfth

1928
01:41:53,720 --> 01:41:56,920
Speaker 8: grade until we have our first graduates in twenty twenty nine,

1929
01:41:56,960 --> 01:41:57,960
Speaker 8: which we're looking forward to.

1930
01:41:58,120 --> 01:42:01,680
Speaker 1: I can't only imagine how excited you are about that now.

1931
01:42:01,720 --> 01:42:04,120
Speaker 1: You obviously, with the growth in size and the growth

1932
01:42:04,120 --> 01:42:06,599
Speaker 1: of student body, you had to expand the space. And

1933
01:42:06,640 --> 01:42:10,800
Speaker 1: that's why you're showing folks tonight on this empower you

1934
01:42:10,880 --> 01:42:13,840
Speaker 1: summon are the new Summit Park campus. Let my listeners

1935
01:42:13,920 --> 01:42:14,519
Speaker 1: know all about that.

1936
01:42:16,520 --> 01:42:18,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, So that's been one of the toughest lists in

1937
01:42:18,920 --> 01:42:21,960
Speaker 8: the founding was fine in the space, and we spend

1938
01:42:22,040 --> 01:42:27,160
Speaker 8: years searching and finally closed on a property last fall,

1939
01:42:27,640 --> 01:42:29,799
Speaker 8: and it spent the last year. Last time we talked,

1940
01:42:29,880 --> 01:42:34,479
Speaker 8: we were knee deep in construction out there in Blue

1941
01:42:34,560 --> 01:42:37,360
Speaker 8: Ash for the middle and upper school campus. But I'm

1942
01:42:37,360 --> 01:42:39,400
Speaker 8: happy to report that we're on the other side of

1943
01:42:39,400 --> 01:42:42,439
Speaker 8: that now and we finished construction. We opened the school

1944
01:42:42,479 --> 01:42:46,280
Speaker 8: there on time. We had a beautiful grand opening celebration

1945
01:42:46,360 --> 01:42:50,080
Speaker 8: with over three thousand people coming through the doors the

1946
01:42:50,120 --> 01:42:55,000
Speaker 8: first the week before school started. But for anyone who

1947
01:42:55,080 --> 01:42:58,479
Speaker 8: didn't make it that day, tonight, we're having an event,

01:42:59,360 --> 01:43:01,719

01:43:02,720 --> 01:43:03,200
Speaker 6: It's free.

1950
01:43:03,439 --> 01:43:07,000
Speaker 8: Just have to register and empower you America dot org

1951
01:43:07,760 --> 01:43:10,880
Speaker 8: and anyone's welcome to come out and learn about Cincinnati

1952
01:43:10,880 --> 01:43:14,360
Speaker 8: Academy Classical Academy, and see what we've built, learn about

1953
01:43:14,360 --> 01:43:18,200
Speaker 8: our educational philosophy, and uh see what it's sort of

1954
01:43:18,240 --> 01:43:21,120
Speaker 8: back to the future, you know, old school education in

1955
01:43:21,160 --> 01:43:24,720
Speaker 8: a very modern building. So we welcome everyone to come out.

1956
01:43:25,360 --> 01:43:27,120
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm kind of curious about how you go

1957
01:43:27,200 --> 01:43:31,760
Speaker 1: about hiring the teachers, the educators. I suspect that, given

1958
01:43:31,800 --> 01:43:35,559
Speaker 1: you're doing classical education, there are a bunch of teachers

1959
01:43:35,600 --> 01:43:38,679
Speaker 1: out there who embrace that concept and would want nothing

1960
01:43:38,720 --> 01:43:40,519
Speaker 1: more than to work in an environment like the Since

1961
01:43:40,520 --> 01:43:43,840
Speaker 1: at Classical Academy, have you ever had any problem of

1962
01:43:43,920 --> 01:43:45,960
Speaker 1: hiring and retaining teachers.

1963
01:43:47,479 --> 01:43:47,960
Speaker 6: We have not.

1964
01:43:48,160 --> 01:43:51,080
Speaker 8: We've had we've had exceptional teacher retention, and we've been

1965
01:43:51,080 --> 01:43:54,760
Speaker 8: able to fill all those positions. It's there. There's a

1966
01:43:54,840 --> 01:43:57,439
Speaker 8: phrase for it that our headmaster uses. He calls them

1967
01:43:57,479 --> 01:44:02,719
Speaker 8: refugee teachers. It turns out there are lots of teachers

1968
01:44:02,760 --> 01:44:05,160
Speaker 8: who've been wanting to be able to do this kind

1969
01:44:05,200 --> 01:44:09,240
Speaker 8: of thing for their whole careers, and they are refugees

1970
01:44:09,360 --> 01:44:13,519
Speaker 8: from the educational system in general, and they find it

1971
01:44:13,600 --> 01:44:16,520
Speaker 8: home with us, and they're very glad to be empowered

1972
01:44:16,760 --> 01:44:20,760
Speaker 8: to do their jobs and lead and teach in the classroom.

1973
01:44:21,280 --> 01:44:25,599
Speaker 1: And I suppose concepts like woke ideology and DEI mandates

1974
01:44:25,640 --> 01:44:28,519
Speaker 1: and Dick Todds, that's not part of sin Sant classical academy.

1975
01:44:30,280 --> 01:44:30,680
Speaker 3: It is not.

1976
01:44:32,560 --> 01:44:35,479
Speaker 1: That's why it's a refuse for all those disappointed teachers.

1977
01:44:35,720 --> 01:44:38,760
Speaker 1: There's freedom escape the since a classical academy and enjoy

1978
01:44:38,800 --> 01:44:43,479
Speaker 1: what you're doing being a teacher. I've always commented on

1979
01:44:43,479 --> 01:44:46,120
Speaker 1: one of the greatest things that I enjoyed about, particularly

1980
01:44:46,200 --> 01:44:47,960
Speaker 1: law school, but it did exist in the K through

1981
01:44:48,000 --> 01:44:52,080
Speaker 1: twelve education with a certain degree is the Socratic method,

1982
01:44:52,160 --> 01:44:54,759
Speaker 1: the engaging in the question and answers back and forth

1983
01:44:54,840 --> 01:44:57,080
Speaker 1: with whoever's teaching a class. Do you have that kind

1984
01:44:57,120 --> 01:44:59,200
Speaker 1: of concept at the Sin Santa Classical Academy?

1985
01:45:00,720 --> 01:45:04,519
Speaker 8: Absolutely, And you know it starts gradually in the in

1986
01:45:04,520 --> 01:45:07,320
Speaker 8: the sort of the middle school, but it really starts

1987
01:45:07,320 --> 01:45:12,439
Speaker 8: to blossom as you get into the high school levels. Yeah,

1988
01:45:12,520 --> 01:45:15,960
Speaker 8: it's it's throughout the school. Is the main method of

1989
01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:17,720
Speaker 8: instruction outstanding.

1990
01:45:18,000 --> 01:45:20,240
Speaker 1: Now, can you explain to me and my listeners, of course,

1991
01:45:20,320 --> 01:45:25,320
Speaker 1: this concept of citadel life, the house system as you

1992
01:45:25,400 --> 01:45:27,799
Speaker 1: refer to it since I classical Academy, what's that all about?

1993
01:45:29,400 --> 01:45:33,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, exactly, Well, it's it serves multiple purposes, but it

1994
01:45:33,120 --> 01:45:37,120
Speaker 8: kind of organizes the culture within the student body. I

1995
01:45:37,120 --> 01:45:40,520
Speaker 8: mean we we sort of have a breakdown in community

1996
01:45:40,600 --> 01:45:45,040
Speaker 8: in society today, right and people's lost, right especially in

1997
01:45:45,040 --> 01:45:47,800
Speaker 8: the digital world. Well, uh, this is kind of one

1998
01:45:47,840 --> 01:45:51,519
Speaker 8: answer to that. Although it's it's a system that's quite ancient,

1999
01:45:51,800 --> 01:45:53,559
Speaker 8: going back hundreds of years at school's.

2000
01:45:53,640 --> 01:45:57,240
Speaker 6: Great schools have used it.

2001
01:45:57,280 --> 01:46:02,280
Speaker 8: But it organizes the students into four houses where and

2002
01:46:02,320 --> 01:46:05,840
Speaker 8: it's and it goes across grade levels down to uh

2003
01:46:05,880 --> 01:46:10,719
Speaker 8: grade grade seven on up, and they they work together,

2004
01:46:10,880 --> 01:46:11,920
Speaker 8: they mentor each other.

2005
01:46:12,560 --> 01:46:12,720
Speaker 5: Uh.

2006
01:46:12,760 --> 01:46:16,160
Speaker 8: The older students model good behavior and virtue for the

2007
01:46:16,240 --> 01:46:19,320
Speaker 8: younger students, and the younger students, you know, learn from

2008
01:46:19,479 --> 01:46:20,639
Speaker 8: from the older students.

2009
01:46:20,640 --> 01:46:21,840
Speaker 5: So uh.

2010
01:46:22,240 --> 01:46:25,400
Speaker 8: And it's they compete with each other and cooperate on

2011
01:46:25,840 --> 01:46:33,400
Speaker 8: various various areas of service of academic achievement, athletic achievement,

2012
01:46:35,240 --> 01:46:37,680
Speaker 8: and various other kind of cultural things that they do

2013
01:46:37,800 --> 01:46:39,080
Speaker 8: at the at the school.

2014
01:46:39,840 --> 01:46:43,840
Speaker 1: Civics and morality and character, these are all part of

2015
01:46:43,880 --> 01:46:47,240
Speaker 1: the curriculum at since classical academy, have those concepts just

2016
01:46:47,280 --> 01:46:49,160
Speaker 1: disappeared in public education? Sir?

2017
01:46:51,960 --> 01:46:55,920
Speaker 8: It's it's the aim of of our school is to

2018
01:46:56,000 --> 01:47:01,519
Speaker 8: cultivate moral character and civic virtues. I mean, those are

2019
01:47:01,520 --> 01:47:05,559
Speaker 8: the aims of the educational enterprise. It's to form the

2020
01:47:05,600 --> 01:47:13,400
Speaker 8: whole person. It's to form the habits of excellence concerning mind, body,

2021
01:47:14,040 --> 01:47:14,639
Speaker 8: and soul.

2022
01:47:15,080 --> 01:47:18,160
Speaker 1: I just wish that this concept was embraced by all

2023
01:47:18,240 --> 01:47:21,120
Speaker 1: public education because some of the hardest to reach children

2024
01:47:21,120 --> 01:47:23,799
Speaker 1: out there are the ones that really are in desperate

2025
01:47:23,880 --> 01:47:26,640
Speaker 1: need of civic virtue and moral character. They're clearly not

2026
01:47:26,720 --> 01:47:29,840
Speaker 1: getting it at home. And I can only imagine the

2027
01:47:29,880 --> 01:47:32,640
Speaker 1: weight that any given educator might have with a classroom

2028
01:47:32,640 --> 01:47:35,080
Speaker 1: full of thirty five kids who lack moral character and

2029
01:47:35,080 --> 01:47:37,880
Speaker 1: civic virtue. How do you transform that group? I mean,

2030
01:47:37,920 --> 01:47:39,680
Speaker 1: I think that's at the root of the problem. If

2031
01:47:39,680 --> 01:47:43,240
Speaker 1: you have a broken home or of the nuclear families disappeared,

2032
01:47:43,240 --> 01:47:46,040
Speaker 1: you need resources. The kid needs to have proper guidance,

2033
01:47:46,439 --> 01:47:48,479
Speaker 1: not going to get it from a public education. I

2034
01:47:48,479 --> 01:47:52,080
Speaker 1: wish your school was available literally across this entire country

2035
01:47:52,080 --> 01:47:54,679
Speaker 1: of ours, doctor and Brian.

2036
01:47:54,800 --> 01:47:59,719
Speaker 8: The public teachers unions, they came after us and attacked

2037
01:47:59,800 --> 01:48:05,280
Speaker 8: us because we write about morality on our on our

2038
01:48:05,320 --> 01:48:08,320
Speaker 8: website and our materials, and our were teaching in our classrooms.

2039
01:48:08,800 --> 01:48:11,160
Speaker 8: They object to the very nature of that. The only

2040
01:48:11,200 --> 01:48:14,040
Speaker 8: way that they know how to care for in their minds,

2041
01:48:14,080 --> 01:48:16,640
Speaker 8: because it's such a foreign concept to them, is to

2042
01:48:16,640 --> 01:48:19,679
Speaker 8: come out and call as Christian nationalists, or to accuse

2043
01:48:19,760 --> 01:48:23,640
Speaker 8: us of being a religious school masquerading, you know, you know,

2044
01:48:24,479 --> 01:48:30,800
Speaker 8: take taking dollars from the public treasury. It's nonsense. Uh More.

2045
01:48:31,040 --> 01:48:34,240
Speaker 8: Moral character and morality and what is the good and

2046
01:48:34,280 --> 01:48:38,080
Speaker 8: what is beautiful has been around. Uh had lots of

2047
01:48:38,120 --> 01:48:40,680
Speaker 8: cultures and for a long time before Christianity.

2048
01:48:40,920 --> 01:48:46,200
Speaker 1: Yes, Uh, Socrates played prior to the Greek civilizations. Of

2049
01:48:46,200 --> 01:48:49,280
Speaker 1: course you have uh you know, the religious times and

2050
01:48:49,320 --> 01:48:51,880
Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of years ago, morality and character were

2051
01:48:51,880 --> 01:48:54,799
Speaker 1: always discussed. But as I'm looking at the Cincinnati Classical

2052
01:48:54,840 --> 01:48:57,479
Speaker 1: Academy page, which is for my listeners who are interested,

2053
01:48:57,800 --> 01:49:00,479
Speaker 1: since you with hy Classical dot org, I don't see

2054
01:49:00,520 --> 01:49:02,400
Speaker 1: anything in here about Christianity, sir.

2055
01:49:04,280 --> 01:49:08,760
Speaker 8: No, And we teach all the major religions. We want

2056
01:49:09,040 --> 01:49:11,599
Speaker 8: all of our students to be culturally literate and informed

2057
01:49:11,640 --> 01:49:18,880
Speaker 8: about the world cultures and the world religions.

2058
01:49:17,360 --> 01:49:20,200
Speaker 1: Because they exist as a factual matter. You've got to

2059
01:49:20,240 --> 01:49:22,439
Speaker 1: go live in a world with multiple religions. It's good

2060
01:49:22,439 --> 01:49:25,440
Speaker 1: to get a concept and understand them within and underneath

2061
01:49:25,439 --> 01:49:28,639
Speaker 1: the umbrella of moral character and civic virtue. So glad

2062
01:49:28,680 --> 01:49:32,800
Speaker 1: about this. So the tour is tonight at seven. It

2063
01:49:32,840 --> 01:49:34,679
Speaker 1: begins at seven pm, but they do need a registered

2064
01:49:34,720 --> 01:49:38,400
Speaker 1: empower you America dot org. Correct, doctor, that's correct?

2065
01:49:38,680 --> 01:49:38,840
Speaker 3: Now?

2066
01:49:38,880 --> 01:49:41,519
Speaker 1: Is this going to be ye one tour beginning at

2067
01:49:41,520 --> 01:49:44,519
Speaker 1: seven and going through the space or what if people

2068
01:49:44,560 --> 01:49:46,680
Speaker 1: show up late? Is that possible? I guess I want

2069
01:49:46,720 --> 01:49:48,160
Speaker 1: to get the lowdown on the logistics.

2070
01:49:48,200 --> 01:49:48,400
Speaker 4: Sir.

2071
01:49:50,640 --> 01:49:53,080
Speaker 8: You should probably aim to show up at seven o'clock.

2072
01:49:54,120 --> 01:49:57,800
Speaker 8: Maybe if they're a little early, register before six forty five,

2073
01:49:58,160 --> 01:50:02,800
Speaker 8: and it's we plan on one tour, but we'll make adjustments.

2074
01:50:02,800 --> 01:50:06,439
Speaker 8: We'll have contingency plans in case, in case there's some

2075
01:50:06,520 --> 01:50:09,800
Speaker 8: stragglers or more people. But yeah, we'll go through all

2076
01:50:09,800 --> 01:50:14,680
Speaker 8: the major spaces and from symposium room to how we

2077
01:50:14,840 --> 01:50:18,720
Speaker 8: furnish the school to the reviewing the virtue posters that

2078
01:50:18,800 --> 01:50:21,719
Speaker 8: are on the wall. So we'll talk about the Citadel

2079
01:50:22,280 --> 01:50:25,720
Speaker 8: Light House system and see the library and see the

2080
01:50:25,760 --> 01:50:30,160
Speaker 8: new construction. We're building thirty thousand square feet of a

2081
01:50:30,240 --> 01:50:33,759
Speaker 8: gymnasium and a music wing and lots of other stuff

2082
01:50:33,800 --> 01:50:36,400
Speaker 8: as well, so we'll get to see all of it

2083
01:50:36,479 --> 01:50:41,600
Speaker 8: and see how it implements physically our educational philosophy.

2084
01:50:41,880 --> 01:50:43,960
Speaker 1: All right, there's somebody right now out there going, wait

2085
01:50:44,000 --> 01:50:45,840
Speaker 1: a second, my kids have to go there, or my

2086
01:50:45,880 --> 01:50:49,640
Speaker 1: grandchildren need to register. When is registration? How does that

2087
01:50:49,720 --> 01:50:51,280
Speaker 1: go about? I mean, when is it open and for

2088
01:50:51,320 --> 01:50:53,840
Speaker 1: what grades? There's got to be some sort of limitations

2089
01:50:53,840 --> 01:50:54,519
Speaker 1: on that, doctor.

2090
01:50:56,680 --> 01:50:59,479
Speaker 8: Yeah, enrollment usually begins at the end of the year

2091
01:51:00,040 --> 01:51:05,840
Speaker 8: December perhaps, and we always accept all applications from kindergarten

2092
01:51:05,880 --> 01:51:10,200
Speaker 8: through up through tenth grade this coming year. So go

2093
01:51:10,280 --> 01:51:13,719
Speaker 8: to Sincy Classical dot org. And it takes about five

2094
01:51:13,800 --> 01:51:21,080
Speaker 8: minutes to apply and if there's more, if there's more applications,

2095
01:51:21,080 --> 01:51:23,400
Speaker 8: then we have seats available. Then it goes to a

2096
01:51:23,439 --> 01:51:27,840
Speaker 8: lottery system. There's no aptitude tests, there's no financial means

2097
01:51:27,880 --> 01:51:32,439
Speaker 8: tests because we're tuition free. So if you're lucky enough

2098
01:51:32,439 --> 01:51:34,160
Speaker 8: to win the lottery, you get a seat.

2099
01:51:35,760 --> 01:51:40,000
Speaker 1: And this your academy, draws people from all over the region.

2100
01:51:40,000 --> 01:51:42,160
Speaker 1: I mean, there are some people who go through some

2101
01:51:42,240 --> 01:51:46,840
Speaker 1: significant lengths and difficult challenges getting their children to school

2102
01:51:46,880 --> 01:51:49,120
Speaker 1: every day, but they fight that battle and they win

2103
01:51:49,240 --> 01:51:51,160
Speaker 1: that battle and they make it there every day because

2104
01:51:51,200 --> 01:51:54,320
Speaker 1: of the draw of the education. I mean, you're literally

2105
01:51:54,360 --> 01:51:56,559
Speaker 1: with people from all over the Tri state area, aren't you.

2106
01:51:58,600 --> 01:52:01,920
Speaker 8: We are Incredibly those numbers continue to grow. I got

2107
01:52:01,920 --> 01:52:06,639
Speaker 8: corrected recently that we're not drawing from sixty zip codes,

2108
01:52:06,680 --> 01:52:09,920
Speaker 8: but we're drawing from seventy one zip codes now and

2109
01:52:10,160 --> 01:52:14,679
Speaker 8: over forty different home school districts. I didn't know there's

2110
01:52:15,000 --> 01:52:20,080
Speaker 8: forty school districts in Greater Cincinnati, but the answer is

2111
01:52:20,080 --> 01:52:24,639
Speaker 8: there aren't. Because this goes This includes up to six

2112
01:52:24,680 --> 01:52:28,679
Speaker 8: different counties. I can't even name all the six. That's amazing,

2113
01:52:29,680 --> 01:52:33,720
Speaker 8: but that's yeah, people are feel pretty fortunate when they

2114
01:52:33,720 --> 01:52:38,320
Speaker 8: get in and they're willing to make sacrifices and prioritize

2115
01:52:38,280 --> 01:52:41,200
Speaker 8: it in their lives. I mean, and it makes sense.

2116
01:52:41,320 --> 01:52:46,879
Speaker 8: It's their children's formation. It's who you're entrusting, these beautiful

2117
01:52:46,920 --> 01:52:49,680
Speaker 8: souls that you created, who you're entrusting them to.

2118
01:52:50,160 --> 01:52:52,799
Speaker 1: I've said in a million times, doctor, the second greatest

2119
01:52:52,840 --> 01:52:55,120
Speaker 1: gift my parents ever gave me, after the gift of life,

2120
01:52:55,280 --> 01:52:58,400
Speaker 1: was the gift of education. They insisted on it, and

2121
01:52:58,479 --> 01:53:00,600
Speaker 1: I'm thankful for it and I've been fitting from it.

2122
01:53:00,640 --> 01:53:03,479
Speaker 1: And boy, what a great opportunity to do just that

2123
01:53:03,920 --> 01:53:06,000
Speaker 1: by getting your children in the Sin Sant Classical Academy.

01:53:38,160 --> 01:53:40,960
Speaker 1: along this information, so one more opportunity to do so,

2137
01:53:41,000 --> 01:53:42,479
Speaker 1: since I only have a minute left in the segment

2138
01:53:42,520 --> 01:53:46,960
Speaker 1: before we get to iHeartMedia Aviation Expert Jay Rattleff Cleave's residents,

2139
01:53:46,960 --> 01:53:49,400
Speaker 1: my friends and Cleaves. Apparently tonight is the night they

2140
01:53:49,439 --> 01:53:53,480
Speaker 1: had the Committee for the Preservation of Cleaves Safety Services,

2141
01:53:53,960 --> 01:53:55,920
Speaker 1: and they'd like you to attend the public meeting tonight

2142
01:53:56,000 --> 01:53:59,760
Speaker 1: regarding issue ten. Now that public meeting starts at seven

2143
01:53:59,760 --> 01:54:03,040
Speaker 1: pm and it takes place at the at Miami Township

2144
01:54:03,160 --> 01:54:06,400
Speaker 1: town Hall. So let you know that if you're interested

2145
01:54:06,400 --> 01:54:08,000
Speaker 1: in what's going on in Cleeves, you want to know

2146
01:54:08,040 --> 01:54:11,439
Speaker 1: about issue ten and discuss it amongst your fellow Cleaves residents,

2147
01:54:11,439 --> 01:54:15,240
Speaker 1: show up tonight again seven pm, Miami Township Hall. So

2148
01:54:15,400 --> 01:54:17,640
Speaker 1: there you go. My friend passed it along as I

2149
01:54:17,680 --> 01:54:19,840
Speaker 1: promised I would do, and happy to do so. Also

2150
01:54:19,840 --> 01:54:22,360
Speaker 1: happy to talk to iHeart media Aviation Expert Jay Ratliff.

2151
01:54:22,360 --> 01:54:24,599
Speaker 1: He'll join the program next. Got some fun topics score

2152
01:54:24,720 --> 01:54:26,639
Speaker 1: with Jay. As always, I hope you can stick around.

2153
01:54:26,640 --> 01:54:30,280
Speaker 1: I'll be right back fifty five KRC dot com. This

2154
01:54:30,360 --> 01:54:32,280
Speaker 1: I always looking forward to this time of the week,

2155
01:54:32,640 --> 01:54:35,080
Speaker 1: in this day because we get to talk to iHeart

2156
01:54:35,040 --> 01:54:37,800
Speaker 1: media aviation expert Jay Ratliff, which I thoroughly enjoy doing

2157
01:54:37,800 --> 01:54:39,520
Speaker 1: and I hope my listening audience enjoys it as much

2158
01:54:39,520 --> 01:54:41,320
Speaker 1: as I do. Some really cool topics you got in

2159
01:54:41,320 --> 01:54:44,080
Speaker 1: this morning on the list here, Jay Ratliffe. One, I'm

2160
01:54:44,080 --> 01:54:48,760
Speaker 1: going to go out of order wildly curious about the

2161
01:54:49,080 --> 01:54:51,000
Speaker 1: before we get the hub delays, which we always end

2162
01:54:51,000 --> 01:54:52,760
Speaker 1: on so we know how travel is out there. Today

2163
01:54:53,200 --> 01:54:57,360
Speaker 1: it says Boeing has been given permission to increase production

2164
01:54:57,400 --> 01:54:59,280
Speaker 1: of the seven thirty seven Max aircraft. They need to

2165
01:54:59,280 --> 01:55:02,040
Speaker 1: seek permission in terms of their output. I mean, I

2166
01:55:02,080 --> 01:55:04,920
Speaker 1: know they do it to themselves sometimes in terms of

2167
01:55:04,920 --> 01:55:07,040
Speaker 1: delays and backlogs and all that kind of thing. But

2168
01:55:07,120 --> 01:55:10,840
Speaker 1: who has to give Boeing permission for production of aircraft numbers?

2169
01:55:11,280 --> 01:55:17,120
Speaker 10: The Federal Aviation Administration After the two Boeing Max crashes,

2170
01:55:17,600 --> 01:55:21,000
Speaker 10: after some of the situations we've had since, the FAA

2171
01:55:21,080 --> 01:55:23,200
Speaker 10: has said, you guys need to slow it down, and

2172
01:55:23,280 --> 01:55:27,160
Speaker 10: slow it down now, so they actually capped to the

2173
01:55:27,160 --> 01:55:29,920
Speaker 10: maximum number of Boeing seven thirty seven max aircraft that

2174
01:55:29,960 --> 01:55:34,000
Speaker 10: they could make it to twenty six or something. They

2175
01:55:34,040 --> 01:55:36,280
Speaker 10: increased it to thirty eight a month, and now that's

2176
01:55:36,320 --> 01:55:39,920
Speaker 10: been further increased to forty two a month. So yes, Boeing,

2177
01:55:39,960 --> 01:55:42,520
Speaker 10: who hasn't made a profit since I think twenty eighteen,

2178
01:55:43,840 --> 01:55:46,480
Speaker 10: is now allowed and that is the proper word, to

2179
01:55:46,760 --> 01:55:48,680
Speaker 10: produce as many a s F two aircraft a month

2180
01:55:49,480 --> 01:55:53,040
Speaker 10: because the FAA had to be convinced that they were

2181
01:55:53,120 --> 01:55:57,240
Speaker 10: doing things the right way, not using scrap parts that

2182
01:55:57,280 --> 01:56:00,480
Speaker 10: shouldn't be used, making sure the productions need to be

2183
01:56:00,600 --> 01:56:03,520
Speaker 10: making sure that no more door plugs fall off of

2184
01:56:03,560 --> 01:56:06,680
Speaker 10: airplanes like we had last year with your last airline's flight.

2185
01:56:07,040 --> 01:56:10,760
Speaker 10: So and they are convinced that Boeing is making the

2186
01:56:10,800 --> 01:56:15,680
Speaker 10: necessary corrections, and we'll see. But yes, Boeing did need

2187
01:56:15,720 --> 01:56:20,240
Speaker 10: to get permission to push more planes through the through

2188
01:56:20,240 --> 01:56:21,240
Speaker 10: their production schedule.

2189
01:56:21,280 --> 01:56:23,560
Speaker 1: Well, I'll acknowledge it is a heavily regulated industry and

2190
01:56:23,600 --> 01:56:25,760
Speaker 1: maybe that's a really good thing considering what they're doing.

2191
01:56:25,800 --> 01:56:31,360
Speaker 1: But you would never go to a bad part bin

2192
01:56:32,120 --> 01:56:34,520
Speaker 1: and use one of the parts that's been labeled you know,

2193
01:56:34,880 --> 01:56:38,160
Speaker 1: non compliant or it doesn't meet our safety whatever, it's

2194
01:56:38,160 --> 01:56:40,200
Speaker 1: a non approved part. You would never use one of

2195
01:56:40,240 --> 01:56:43,000
Speaker 1: those parts if you had an adequate supply of parts.

2196
01:56:43,000 --> 01:56:45,800
Speaker 1: Now have they overcome whatever supply shortages that led people

2197
01:56:45,800 --> 01:56:48,920
Speaker 1: to wander over to the the rejected parts bin.

2198
01:56:49,840 --> 01:56:52,840
Speaker 10: Yeah, they've had issues in the past, and Bright that's

2199
01:56:52,880 --> 01:56:55,840
Speaker 10: exactly the problem is that some of the supply side things,

2200
01:56:55,880 --> 01:56:59,000
Speaker 10: because remember Boeing has just hundreds and hundreds of companies

2201
01:56:59,080 --> 01:57:02,080
Speaker 10: that feed them different parts and services to kind of

2202
01:57:02,120 --> 01:57:05,440
Speaker 10: keep everything going. And there's been times that they did,

2203
01:57:05,520 --> 01:57:08,960
Speaker 10: according to the whistleblowers and some confirmed reports, where they

2204
01:57:09,080 --> 01:57:11,400
Speaker 10: ran out of parts and you were looking at an

2205
01:57:11,400 --> 01:57:14,760
Speaker 10: airplane that was going to be stationary in this production

2206
01:57:14,880 --> 01:57:18,640
Speaker 10: cycle for an extended period of time, and supervisors told

2207
01:57:18,640 --> 01:57:22,000
Speaker 10: the employees, go find the best failed part that we

2208
01:57:22,040 --> 01:57:24,600
Speaker 10: can put on this aircraft to keep the airplane moving

2209
01:57:24,640 --> 01:57:29,160
Speaker 10: through production. And it seems ridiculous, it seems stupid, nasinine,

2210
01:57:29,240 --> 01:57:33,400
Speaker 10: and it's just unbelievably not safe to use a failed

2211
01:57:33,560 --> 01:57:36,160
Speaker 10: part on an aircraft. But that's what they were doing,

2212
01:57:37,240 --> 01:57:41,360
Speaker 10: and it's just again Boeing told us five years ago

2213
01:57:41,480 --> 01:57:43,480
Speaker 10: that they had turned the corner and learned their lessons,

2214
01:57:43,480 --> 01:57:46,120
Speaker 10: they were not going to be the same company, and

2215
01:57:46,360 --> 01:57:49,400
Speaker 10: they lied to us. So I'm really hoping this time around,

2216
01:57:49,440 --> 01:57:52,040
Speaker 10: all of these paragraphs of promise that come out and

2217
01:57:52,120 --> 01:57:55,400
Speaker 10: all their you know, press releases really mean something because

2218
01:57:55,440 --> 01:57:56,320
Speaker 10: before they didn't.

2219
01:57:56,440 --> 01:57:58,320
Speaker 1: Well, I hope they have a guard post at the

2220
01:57:58,360 --> 01:58:01,960
Speaker 1: rejected park closet because they haven't solved that problem. Then

2221
01:58:02,000 --> 01:58:04,000
Speaker 1: telling them they can increase the number of airplanes they

2222
01:58:04,000 --> 01:58:06,760
Speaker 1: can produce on a monthly basis, that doesn't mean a thing.

2223
01:58:06,880 --> 01:58:08,400
Speaker 1: If you don't have the part, they can't put the

2224
01:58:08,400 --> 01:58:09,000
Speaker 1: plane together.

2225
01:58:09,640 --> 01:58:11,800
Speaker 10: Sometimes they have the big red pain on them showing

2226
01:58:11,840 --> 01:58:17,000
Speaker 10: that they're failed. So you've got people scrubbing the red paint.

2227
01:58:20,560 --> 01:58:23,360
Speaker 10: It's like it's like, you know, what would go on

2228
01:58:23,680 --> 01:58:26,840
Speaker 10: in Russia with some of the stuff they do, and

2229
01:58:26,880 --> 01:58:29,800
Speaker 10: the idea that that's going on here in the United States.

2230
01:58:29,840 --> 01:58:33,240
Speaker 10: And I mean, you had thirty some whistleblowers come forward

2231
01:58:33,360 --> 01:58:36,080
Speaker 10: saying I can't be a part of this anymore because

2232
01:58:36,120 --> 01:58:40,720
Speaker 10: we're putting the lives at risk. And you know, thank god,

2233
01:58:40,760 --> 01:58:43,000
Speaker 10: none of this stuff other than of course those two

2234
01:58:43,040 --> 01:58:46,720
Speaker 10: horrific plane crashes with a Boeing Max five years ago,

2235
01:58:46,760 --> 01:58:49,760
Speaker 10: which were you know, coming up on that anniversary very

2236
01:58:49,840 --> 01:58:51,960
Speaker 10: very soon here on the first one. But it's just

2237
01:58:52,000 --> 01:58:56,320
Speaker 10: a scary thing. And you know, Boeing was told by

2238
01:58:56,360 --> 01:58:59,160
Speaker 10: the FAA five years ago, we really gave you too

2239
01:58:59,240 --> 01:59:01,880
Speaker 10: much slack, and we're going to be all over you,

2240
01:59:01,960 --> 01:59:05,040
Speaker 10: and of course they weren't. So the FAA failed us

2241
01:59:05,080 --> 01:59:07,560
Speaker 10: like Boeing failed us. And you're just hoping that the

2242
01:59:07,600 --> 01:59:11,400
Speaker 10: two entities that failed us as a traveling you know,

2243
01:59:11,520 --> 01:59:14,720
Speaker 10: segment of population, that they're gonna both come through for us.

2244
01:59:14,720 --> 01:59:17,000
Speaker 10: And certainly we hope that's going to be the case.

2245
01:59:17,480 --> 01:59:19,640
Speaker 1: Certainly do well for we part company and take a

2246
01:59:19,680 --> 01:59:22,520
Speaker 1: break here. How about Southwest Airlines new boarding policy? What's

2247
01:59:22,520 --> 01:59:23,120
Speaker 1: this one about?

2248
01:59:23,720 --> 01:59:26,680
Speaker 10: Well, they decided that instead of having like Delta's eight

2249
01:59:26,760 --> 01:59:29,720
Speaker 10: or ten boarding zones and United ten boarding zones or

2250
01:59:29,760 --> 01:59:32,040
Speaker 10: whatever it is, that they're going to simplify it. And

2251
01:59:32,080 --> 01:59:34,480
Speaker 10: they said, it's a very easy process. All we have

2252
01:59:34,520 --> 01:59:37,440
Speaker 10: to do is board all the window seat people first, duh,

2253
01:59:37,640 --> 01:59:41,240
Speaker 10: all the middle seats second, and then the aisle people third,

2254
01:59:41,960 --> 01:59:44,280
Speaker 10: and we will be able to put people on the airplane.

2255
01:59:44,400 --> 01:59:47,600
Speaker 10: It's so easy. Why haven't people thought about this before?

2256
01:59:47,640 --> 01:59:50,520
Speaker 10: Blah blah blah and it's really going to make the

2257
01:59:50,640 --> 01:59:54,760
Speaker 10: boarding process much less stressful. Well, note to Southwest, we

2258
01:59:54,880 --> 01:59:57,280
Speaker 10: have tried that before, and there's a big time problem

2259
01:59:57,520 --> 01:59:59,840
Speaker 10: because when all of your window seats and all your

2260
02:00:00,040 --> 02:00:04,160
Speaker 10: it'll seat passengers board, they fill up the overhead storage compartments.

2261
02:00:04,560 --> 02:00:08,520
Speaker 10: Then you have the aisle passengers boarding last. They've paid

2262
02:00:08,560 --> 02:00:11,960
Speaker 10: more for their ticket than the middle seat people, and

2263
02:00:12,000 --> 02:00:14,280
Speaker 10: they now have no place to put their bag.

2264
02:00:14,480 --> 02:00:15,840
Speaker 1: Which is a problem.

2265
02:00:15,880 --> 02:00:18,720
Speaker 10: So we've had this happen before, so I think we

2266
02:00:18,760 --> 02:00:21,480
Speaker 10: should start an office pool about how long this is

2267
02:00:21,520 --> 02:00:25,280
Speaker 10: going to last. But look, Southwest has the best boarding

2268
02:00:25,320 --> 02:00:28,960
Speaker 10: policy in certain weather locations where they can do it.

2269
02:00:29,200 --> 02:00:32,240
Speaker 10: They bring people off the front of the airplane while

2270
02:00:32,240 --> 02:00:36,200
Speaker 10: they're boarding them on the stairs from the rear. And

2271
02:00:36,400 --> 02:00:39,040
Speaker 10: when you can do that, it's a great process. You

2272
02:00:39,080 --> 02:00:42,360
Speaker 10: can turn that silver revenue tube fast. But the problem

2273
02:00:42,440 --> 02:00:43,760
Speaker 10: is you can't do it in the winter, you can't

2274
02:00:43,760 --> 02:00:45,600
Speaker 10: do it in bad weather, can't do it in windy weather,

2275
02:00:45,640 --> 02:00:49,720
Speaker 10: all those things. So it's a perfect weather situation to

2276
02:00:49,800 --> 02:00:53,520
Speaker 10: do that. But look, for the last seventy years, Airline

2277
02:00:53,520 --> 02:00:55,160
Speaker 10: has been trying to figure out a way for us

2278
02:00:55,160 --> 02:00:58,520
Speaker 10: to how can we more quickly put people on the airplane,

2279
02:00:58,840 --> 02:01:02,080
Speaker 10: and they have tried every single combination that they can

2280
02:01:02,560 --> 02:01:04,880
Speaker 10: to try to figure out the best way. We'll board

2281
02:01:04,880 --> 02:01:07,240
Speaker 10: from the back, front, we'll board from the front, back,

2282
02:01:07,280 --> 02:01:11,520
Speaker 10: We'll board all these different ways, and it just creates problems. Look,

2283
02:01:11,560 --> 02:01:13,920
Speaker 10: when you bored from the back of the airplane forward,

2284
02:01:14,480 --> 02:01:16,960
Speaker 10: you have all these people dropping their carry on bags

2285
02:01:17,000 --> 02:01:19,280
Speaker 10: and Row thirteen n Rowe twenty eight.

2286
02:01:19,400 --> 02:01:19,600
Speaker 3: I know.

2287
02:01:19,800 --> 02:01:24,040
Speaker 10: So it just regardless of which way we pivot, Briant

2288
02:01:24,080 --> 02:01:27,280
Speaker 10: creates problems on tops of problems. And while yes, it

2289
02:01:27,320 --> 02:01:31,160
Speaker 10: seems logical to do it XYZ, the problem is in

2290
02:01:31,200 --> 02:01:34,000
Speaker 10: a real world environment where you're actually there watching what

2291
02:01:34,160 --> 02:01:37,600
Speaker 10: takes place. When this happens, it doesn't exactly go as

2292
02:01:37,680 --> 02:01:41,400
Speaker 10: the theories in the office might suggest they would.

2293
02:01:41,400 --> 02:01:41,840
Speaker 6: At the case.

2294
02:01:42,000 --> 02:01:44,600
Speaker 10: It's like a college professor who has all the answers,

2295
02:01:44,920 --> 02:01:46,840
Speaker 10: even though they probably never ran a business.

2296
02:01:46,880 --> 02:01:48,960
Speaker 1: Well, at the risk of running over too long, real quickly, here,

2297
02:01:48,960 --> 02:01:50,840
Speaker 1: if you have a sign seating, can't you have a sign?

2298
02:01:50,920 --> 02:01:55,000
Speaker 10: Ben You could, and I'm surprised they've not done that before.

2299
02:01:55,040 --> 02:01:57,400
Speaker 10: Now the problem is how you're going to regulate that

2300
02:01:57,440 --> 02:02:00,040
Speaker 10: because you don't have enough flight attendants to really be

2301
02:01:59,880 --> 02:02:01,680
Speaker 10: able to do it, and I don't know why they

2302
02:02:01,680 --> 02:02:04,320
Speaker 10: don't charge us for the overhead bins if you need

2303
02:02:04,360 --> 02:02:07,120
Speaker 10: extra room, saying you can have the seat, the space

2304
02:02:07,200 --> 02:02:09,320
Speaker 10: underneath the seat in front of you, bring a small bag,

2305
02:02:09,360 --> 02:02:12,960
Speaker 10: no feet, you need the overhead bind pooh, gonna cost you.

2306
02:02:13,040 --> 02:02:15,520
Speaker 1: There you what it gave a couple of sound ideas,

2307
02:02:15,560 --> 02:02:16,480
Speaker 1: Jay Ratlift Pousive.

2308
02:02:16,520 --> 02:02:19,480
Speaker 10: No, no, no, they've got listening to me along other

2309
02:02:19,560 --> 02:02:22,320
Speaker 10: than the things they complain about me. That those things they.

2310
02:02:22,240 --> 02:02:26,240
Speaker 1: Hear stay around assault rifles, emergency landings, dead people and

2311
02:02:26,320 --> 02:02:29,040
Speaker 1: space debree more with Jay Ratliffe coming up right back

2312
02:02:29,840 --> 02:02:34,320
Speaker 1: fifty five karc them Vermont, fifty five krs. He talks station.

2313
02:02:35,240 --> 02:02:37,880
Speaker 1: We've ever been in a cockpit before? Jay Ratliffe has

2314
02:02:37,920 --> 02:02:40,320
Speaker 1: He's iHeart media aviation expert. We have the pleasure of

2315
02:02:40,320 --> 02:02:42,920
Speaker 1: talking to Jay Ratliffe every week at beginning at eight

2316
02:02:43,000 --> 02:02:47,080
Speaker 1: thirty onto section or segment two. Here Jay Ratliffe sounds

2317
02:02:47,120 --> 02:02:49,360
Speaker 1: like it's a bad IDEA man with an assault rifle

2318
02:02:49,400 --> 02:02:50,960
Speaker 1: was arrested at the Atlanta Airport.

2319
02:02:51,880 --> 02:02:54,839
Speaker 10: Yeah, this is a forty nine year old from Cartersville, Georgia,

2320
02:02:54,960 --> 02:03:00,000
Speaker 10: and apparently Brian He had coasted to a social Cartersville.

2321
02:03:00,000 --> 02:03:03,760
Speaker 1: Seriously, go ahead. I'm sorry to interject with a delight.

2322
02:03:03,800 --> 02:03:06,120
Speaker 1: I had one of the best experiences of my life.

2323
02:03:06,160 --> 02:03:08,240
Speaker 1: We our car broke down, and when I was in college.

2324
02:03:08,280 --> 02:03:11,200
Speaker 1: We're on spring break. The car broke down right on

2325
02:03:11,280 --> 02:03:14,200
Speaker 1: the on ramp to Cartersville, Georgia, and the mayor, I

2326
02:03:14,240 --> 02:03:16,560
Speaker 1: believe he was of Cartersville, was out with his son.

2327
02:03:17,280 --> 02:03:21,440
Speaker 1: He stopped, he picked us up. There were six of us.

2328
02:03:21,920 --> 02:03:24,520
Speaker 1: He let us stay at his house. He kicked his

2329
02:03:24,600 --> 02:03:26,560
Speaker 1: daughter out, he kicked his son out. They went and

2330
02:03:26,600 --> 02:03:29,560
Speaker 1: stayed at friend's houses. He's his wife fed us all.

2331
02:03:29,600 --> 02:03:33,400
Speaker 1: This is like midnight on a weekday or something. Let

2332
02:03:33,520 --> 02:03:36,000
Speaker 1: us let us sleep there. No, it was a Saturday,

2333
02:03:36,000 --> 02:03:38,920
Speaker 1: because I remember, we were really worried because Sunday nothing's open.

2334
02:03:39,240 --> 02:03:41,800
Speaker 1: It was a our our and here I am laboring

2335
02:03:41,840 --> 02:03:45,160
Speaker 1: on about this. Anyway, the fuel the fuel pump went out,

2336
02:03:45,320 --> 02:03:47,400
Speaker 1: so we needed to buy a fuel pump really easy

2337
02:03:47,480 --> 02:03:50,040
Speaker 1: fixed in the van that we were in. So he

2338
02:03:50,160 --> 02:03:52,200
Speaker 1: ended up getting his buddy, He won the auto parts

2339
02:03:52,240 --> 02:03:54,520
Speaker 1: store to open up on a Sunday, got us the

2340
02:03:54,560 --> 02:03:57,560
Speaker 1: fuel pump, got the van fixed. It was It was

2341
02:03:57,600 --> 02:04:02,440
Speaker 1: one of those renewal of faith in humanity moments in time.

2342
02:04:02,560 --> 02:04:05,920
Speaker 1: So the I heard cards, we just could not believe

2343
02:04:06,200 --> 02:04:09,120
Speaker 1: how much gratitude we had for him, and we ended

2344
02:04:09,200 --> 02:04:11,240
Speaker 1: up sending him a big fruit basket and a big

2345
02:04:11,360 --> 02:04:13,480
Speaker 1: letter of thanks to him and his wife. They treated

2346
02:04:13,480 --> 02:04:15,440
Speaker 1: it so wonderfully, and I've always thought the world of

2347
02:04:15,440 --> 02:04:17,600
Speaker 1: Cartersville just because of that moment in time.

2348
02:04:18,320 --> 02:04:20,600
Speaker 10: Well, I hope you kept in touch with him, thanking

2349
02:04:20,640 --> 02:04:23,360
Speaker 10: him repeatedly for something like that. That's great, that's great,

2350
02:04:24,040 --> 02:04:26,200
Speaker 10: And I love the fact that a story like this

2351
02:04:26,360 --> 02:04:29,560
Speaker 10: can can spur a nice memory like that that can

2352
02:04:29,560 --> 02:04:32,040
Speaker 10: be shared, because yeah, let's hope that encourages other people.

2353
02:04:32,480 --> 02:04:34,480
Speaker 10: You know, not that you are saying, let strangers into

2354
02:04:34,480 --> 02:04:35,960
Speaker 10: your house and send the night, but you know, I

2355
02:04:36,040 --> 02:04:38,680
Speaker 10: get it, and that's a great thing because it makes

2356
02:04:38,720 --> 02:04:40,880
Speaker 10: you think that people. You know, it's kind of like

2357
02:04:41,120 --> 02:04:44,600
Speaker 10: things used to be. But yeah, this story was a

2358
02:04:44,640 --> 02:04:47,880
Speaker 10: forty nine year old from that place that posted to

2359
02:04:47,880 --> 02:04:49,560
Speaker 10: a social media count that he was going to go

2360
02:04:49,560 --> 02:04:52,400
Speaker 10: to the Atlanta Airport shoot it up, and you had

2361
02:04:52,440 --> 02:04:55,600
Speaker 10: family members that spotted those social media posts. They notified

2362
02:04:55,600 --> 02:04:58,600
Speaker 10: the local police, who then notified the Atlanta Airport. All

2363
02:04:58,680 --> 02:05:01,440
Speaker 10: this was in like fifteen minutes. The man was later

2364
02:05:01,480 --> 02:05:04,320
Speaker 10: spotted walking into the airport. He was unarmed at the

2365
02:05:04,360 --> 02:05:06,560
Speaker 10: time and the thought was he was scoping it out.

2366
02:05:06,560 --> 02:05:08,440
Speaker 10: He had his vehicle right outside the door, had an

2367
02:05:08,440 --> 02:05:12,080
Speaker 10: assault rifle loaded inside the vehicle. He was approached by

2368
02:05:12,120 --> 02:05:15,600
Speaker 10: law enforcement, he was questioned and detained and it's currently

2369
02:05:15,680 --> 02:05:20,000
Speaker 10: undergoing a mental health evaluation. And look, this is a

2370
02:05:20,040 --> 02:05:23,080
Speaker 10: perfect example of how a lot of these tragedies can

2371
02:05:23,160 --> 02:05:25,640
Speaker 10: be averted if you just have family and friends that

2372
02:05:25,800 --> 02:05:29,240
Speaker 10: might see something, hear something, notify authorities and say, look

2373
02:05:30,680 --> 02:05:33,960
Speaker 10: is what we see as far as what may or

2374
02:05:34,040 --> 02:05:35,680
Speaker 10: may not be going on. And I think the family

2375
02:05:35,720 --> 02:05:38,240
Speaker 10: certainly saved some lives there. But it's a lot like

2376
02:05:38,280 --> 02:05:41,160
Speaker 10: I tell people at the airport, if you see unattended bags,

2377
02:05:41,240 --> 02:05:44,960
Speaker 10: or see somebody acting in a suspicious fashion, immediately pointed

2378
02:05:45,000 --> 02:05:47,680
Speaker 10: out to the airport police. And so many people say, well, Jay,

2379
02:05:47,720 --> 02:05:50,120
Speaker 10: if it's nothing, I said, I don't care. And you'll

2380
02:05:50,160 --> 02:05:53,840
Speaker 10: never have any law enforcement officer tell you you never

2381
02:05:53,880 --> 02:05:56,240
Speaker 10: should do this, because when you have two million people

2382
02:05:56,280 --> 02:05:59,000
Speaker 10: a day flying and you've got two million sets of eyes,

2383
02:05:59,400 --> 02:06:02,080
Speaker 10: all that does is ratchet up our security. So if

2384
02:06:02,120 --> 02:06:05,200
Speaker 10: you see something that doesn't look right. Even if it's

2385
02:06:05,200 --> 02:06:08,600
Speaker 10: something where you might suspect that there's child trafficking or

2386
02:06:08,600 --> 02:06:11,200
Speaker 10: something else going on, you may not be an expert

2387
02:06:11,240 --> 02:06:13,840
Speaker 10: at that, So notify somebody who is, and then they

2388
02:06:13,840 --> 02:06:16,320
Speaker 10: can determine whether or not there's an issue.

2389
02:06:17,560 --> 02:06:20,200
Speaker 1: Sounds like common sense and logic to me. Jay Radley,

2390
02:06:21,240 --> 02:06:24,120
Speaker 1: all right, American Airlines flight making an emergency landing.

2391
02:06:24,120 --> 02:06:29,320
Speaker 10: Why this was sky West flight sixty five sixty nine,

2392
02:06:29,360 --> 02:06:32,120
Speaker 10: taken off from Omahall. They're headed for LA. About forty

2393
02:06:32,160 --> 02:06:35,440
Speaker 10: minutes into the flight, the pilots start hearing a loud

2394
02:06:35,520 --> 02:06:39,560
Speaker 10: banging on the cockpit door. Okay, so they called for

2395
02:06:39,600 --> 02:06:45,360
Speaker 10: the flight attendants over the intercom. Flight attendants do not respond. Oh,

2396
02:06:45,440 --> 02:06:49,280
Speaker 10: they said, okay, we've got a protocol. They immediately declared

2397
02:06:49,280 --> 02:06:52,920
Speaker 10: an inflight emergency for security, turned the airplane around, went

2398
02:06:52,960 --> 02:06:56,600
Speaker 10: back to Omahall, and here come law enforcement. But when

2399
02:06:56,600 --> 02:06:59,560
Speaker 10: they boarded, they found out that it was the flight

2400
02:06:59,560 --> 02:07:01,720
Speaker 10: attendant it's knocking on the door to try to tell

2401
02:07:01,800 --> 02:07:08,680
Speaker 10: him the intercom wasn't working. Whoops. Yeah, so apparently they

2402
02:07:08,680 --> 02:07:11,680
Speaker 10: didn't have a secret codd knock. It was us, you know,

2403
02:07:12,160 --> 02:07:16,320
Speaker 10: But look, the pilots, you know, because they can't see anything,

2404
02:07:16,360 --> 02:07:18,520
Speaker 10: and it really surprises you that there's not something in

2405
02:07:18,560 --> 02:07:21,480
Speaker 10: the cockpit that would have a camera of the door

2406
02:07:21,560 --> 02:07:25,880
Speaker 10: or something. I mean, the technology is so affordable, even

2407
02:07:25,880 --> 02:07:28,760
Speaker 10: for cheap airlines, that that type of thing should exist

2408
02:07:28,840 --> 02:07:31,720
Speaker 10: right where pilots can look back at least at the

2409
02:07:31,760 --> 02:07:35,120
Speaker 10: door and beyond. But absent of that, they didn't know

2410
02:07:35,120 --> 02:07:37,240
Speaker 10: what was going on, and they are taught that door

2411
02:07:37,280 --> 02:07:41,040
Speaker 10: stays shut. You'd land that airplane notify law enforcement just

2412
02:07:41,120 --> 02:07:44,600
Speaker 10: in case. And being in Omaha close to the military

2413
02:07:44,600 --> 02:07:46,760
Speaker 10: base is there. I don't know if they launched any

2414
02:07:46,760 --> 02:07:49,720
Speaker 10: military intercept that would be part of the process here

2415
02:07:50,000 --> 02:07:52,280
Speaker 10: if you've got an aircraft that you suspect maybe in

2416
02:07:52,320 --> 02:07:54,800
Speaker 10: the process of being taken over. So the crew did

2417
02:07:54,880 --> 02:07:57,160
Speaker 10: exactly what they should have and when the pilot landed,

2418
02:07:57,160 --> 02:07:59,800
Speaker 10: the captain he told his passengers, look, we still don't

2419
02:07:59,840 --> 02:08:02,320
Speaker 10: know what's going on. Just bear with us. But they

2420
02:08:02,320 --> 02:08:04,160
Speaker 10: aired on the side of caution, and even though it

2421
02:08:04,200 --> 02:08:07,360
Speaker 10: delayed the flight, they did exactly what they should have done.

2422
02:08:07,440 --> 02:08:09,360
Speaker 1: I was just going to say, exactly the same thing.

2423
02:08:09,360 --> 02:08:11,640
Speaker 1: That's exactly the way I would want it. Abundance of caution,

2424
02:08:11,920 --> 02:08:14,200
Speaker 1: little delay and it's always the right thing to do.

2425
02:08:14,320 --> 02:08:16,040
Speaker 1: Let's pause, we'll bring it back. We'll talk about space

2426
02:08:16,120 --> 02:08:18,960
Speaker 1: debris and a Hong Kong plane crash, plus a hub

2427
02:08:18,960 --> 02:08:21,880
Speaker 1: delay with one more. I heard Mediavation expert Ja rat

2428
02:08:21,920 --> 02:08:26,120
Speaker 1: lefts to Crown fifty five KRC. It's cyber. It is

2429
02:08:26,280 --> 02:08:29,040
Speaker 1: eight forty nine on a Friday eve talking with I

2430
02:08:29,040 --> 02:08:32,840
Speaker 1: heard Mediavation expert J Ratlin moving through the multitude of

2431
02:08:32,880 --> 02:08:34,800
Speaker 1: a variety of topics. This morning, we'd go over to

2432
02:08:34,880 --> 02:08:36,960
Speaker 1: Hong Kong. We had a plane crash. Out of the

2433
02:08:37,000 --> 02:08:39,080
Speaker 1: plane crash, and I see we had recorded the notes

2434
02:08:39,080 --> 02:08:40,280
Speaker 1: a couple of deaths.

2435
02:08:40,720 --> 02:08:40,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2436
02:08:40,960 --> 02:08:43,600
Speaker 10: I was a Boeing seven forty seven cargo plane landing

2437
02:08:43,600 --> 02:08:45,960
Speaker 10: at like three point fifty three in the morning in

2438
02:08:46,120 --> 02:08:49,840
Speaker 10: Hong Kong, had four pilots aboard, and after they touched

2439
02:08:49,880 --> 02:08:54,720
Speaker 10: down and rotated down, they were in the process of

2440
02:08:54,760 --> 02:08:56,959
Speaker 10: slowing down, and there was some sort of a security

2441
02:08:57,040 --> 02:09:01,160
Speaker 10: vehicle on the runway uh oh, and the plane struck it.

2442
02:09:01,600 --> 02:09:03,920
Speaker 10: And when it did, it caused the aircraft to veer

2443
02:09:04,000 --> 02:09:06,560
Speaker 10: off the runway down to the embankment into the sea.

2444
02:09:06,960 --> 02:09:09,600
Speaker 10: So you've got the aircraft in the sea and you've

2445
02:09:09,640 --> 02:09:11,760
Speaker 10: got two people on the ground vehicle that were killed,

2446
02:09:12,000 --> 02:09:16,080
Speaker 10: and the accident investigations continuing as far as why in

2447
02:09:16,120 --> 02:09:19,720
Speaker 10: the world this vehicle was on an active runway, and

2448
02:09:20,040 --> 02:09:22,800
Speaker 10: because you know, anytime you're at an airport, you're taught

2449
02:09:22,840 --> 02:09:26,080
Speaker 10: first thing about you know, how you approach, how you cross,

2450
02:09:26,240 --> 02:09:28,560
Speaker 10: everything that has to be done to make sure that

2451
02:09:28,600 --> 02:09:30,840
Speaker 10: you're not where you need to be at the wrong time.

2452
02:09:31,000 --> 02:09:33,960
Speaker 10: So hopefully they'll be able to find out why that happened,

2453
02:09:34,000 --> 02:09:36,680
Speaker 10: because yeah, we've not had an incident Hong Kong for

2454
02:09:36,720 --> 02:09:39,720
Speaker 10: a while, and to see two people killed, you know,

2455
02:09:40,040 --> 02:09:43,600
Speaker 10: certainly avoidable, and hopefully they'll find out exactly what took place.

2456
02:09:43,720 --> 02:09:47,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, being on the runway in a vehicle sounds

2457
02:09:47,040 --> 02:09:49,120
Speaker 1: like a bad idea in most all cases today.

2458
02:09:49,960 --> 02:09:52,160
Speaker 10: Well, no, no, they do runway inspections all the time.

2459
02:09:52,240 --> 02:09:54,879
Speaker 10: Oh you know, they drive up and down the runway

2460
02:09:55,200 --> 02:09:58,080
Speaker 10: to make sure there's no debris or animals things like

2461
02:09:58,120 --> 02:10:01,440
Speaker 10: that that might interfere with it take offered landing. So yeah,

2462
02:10:01,480 --> 02:10:04,240
Speaker 10: it runways are used all the time by ground vehicles,

2463
02:10:04,280 --> 02:10:07,080
Speaker 10: but obviously never won an aircraft.

2464
02:10:06,720 --> 02:10:09,959
Speaker 1: Is landing exactly all right, space debris.

2465
02:10:11,080 --> 02:10:13,280
Speaker 10: Who was thought of that United flight ten ninety three

2466
02:10:13,320 --> 02:10:15,800
Speaker 10: Denver to La. Their crew as long as thirty six

2467
02:10:15,880 --> 02:10:17,840
Speaker 10: thousand feet, kind of minding their own business, when all

2468
02:10:17,880 --> 02:10:20,640
Speaker 10: of a sudden, the cockpit windshield on the first officer

2469
02:10:20,760 --> 02:10:24,280
Speaker 10: side shatters. Now, the cockpit windshields is not like a

2470
02:10:24,320 --> 02:10:27,280
Speaker 10: car windshield. You've got three layers of in essence, chemically

2471
02:10:27,520 --> 02:10:33,320
Speaker 10: strengthened glass that's designed for bird strikes, hail, the temperature changes,

2472
02:10:33,360 --> 02:10:35,880
Speaker 10: and everything else. But what made this different, Brine was

2473
02:10:36,120 --> 02:10:39,360
Speaker 10: that when this shattered, part of the debris actually entered

2474
02:10:39,360 --> 02:10:41,600
Speaker 10: to the flight deck and caused injuries to one of

2475
02:10:41,600 --> 02:10:45,000
Speaker 10: the pilots. He had a bloodied arm in the process. Now,

2476
02:10:45,560 --> 02:10:47,520
Speaker 10: the crew was still able to control the airplane. It

2477
02:10:47,560 --> 02:10:50,120
Speaker 10: wasn't a big deal as far as operating it. They

2478
02:10:50,240 --> 02:10:52,920
Speaker 10: landed the plane fifty minutes later in Salt Lake City,

2479
02:10:52,960 --> 02:10:54,840
Speaker 10: and when they were on the ground appeared to be

2480
02:10:54,880 --> 02:10:57,040
Speaker 10: some sort of scorch marks that were found on the

2481
02:10:57,080 --> 02:10:59,640
Speaker 10: outer side of the airplane indicating a kind of an

2482
02:10:59,680 --> 02:11:03,200
Speaker 10: extra impact. Yeah, and they there wasn't any hail reported

2483
02:11:03,240 --> 02:11:05,640
Speaker 10: in the area. Birds at thirty six thousand feet not

2484
02:11:05,680 --> 02:11:09,200
Speaker 10: real likely, but they thought, okay, it could have been

2485
02:11:09,240 --> 02:11:11,360
Speaker 10: a piece of space debris, which is like never happened

2486
02:11:11,360 --> 02:11:14,440
Speaker 10: that could have actually struck the airplane. The odd latest

2487
02:11:14,840 --> 02:11:19,000
Speaker 10: well a trillion to one at that point. Yeah, but

2488
02:11:19,040 --> 02:11:21,320
Speaker 10: the thought is that they're thinking it may have also

2489
02:11:21,400 --> 02:11:23,800
Speaker 10: been a weather balloon that could have been in the area.

2490
02:11:24,960 --> 02:11:27,920
Speaker 10: They're still investigating at the sea. But Brian, anytime I

2491
02:11:27,920 --> 02:11:30,520
Speaker 10: talk about a cockpit window, I have to talk about

2492
02:11:30,560 --> 02:11:32,920
Speaker 10: British Airways flight fifty three to ninety. This was a

2493
02:11:32,920 --> 02:11:35,280
Speaker 10: plane that was cruising at seventeen thousand feet and the

2494
02:11:35,320 --> 02:11:40,920
Speaker 10: captain's windshield totally blew off. It was improperly installed. He

2495
02:11:41,160 --> 02:11:46,640
Speaker 10: was not wearing his seat belt. Almost a decompression send

2496
02:11:46,680 --> 02:11:48,360
Speaker 10: him right out the window. Now there was a flight

2497
02:11:48,400 --> 02:11:52,360
Speaker 10: attendant who had just entered the cabin that lunged forward

2498
02:11:52,520 --> 02:11:57,800
Speaker 10: and grabbed the captain's knee and feet and was hanging

2499
02:11:57,880 --> 02:11:59,800
Speaker 10: on to him as he's outside the air.

2500
02:12:00,520 --> 02:12:04,840
Speaker 1: Oh, this was several years ago, correct, many years ago,

2501
02:12:04,960 --> 02:12:07,920
Speaker 1: But I think a picture about that or something.

2502
02:12:08,000 --> 02:12:10,240
Speaker 10: That's what I'm going to say. If you've not googled

2503
02:12:10,240 --> 02:12:13,200
Speaker 10: the image of British Airways fifty three ninety, you gotta

2504
02:12:13,280 --> 02:12:16,680
Speaker 10: do it, because there were pictures taken of this aircraft

2505
02:12:16,760 --> 02:12:20,040
Speaker 10: in flight as it was trying to land that has

2506
02:12:20,080 --> 02:12:22,920
Speaker 10: the captain laying across the top of the aircraft.

2507
02:12:24,040 --> 02:12:28,560
Speaker 1: Wild howl a going when the when the window blew out.

2508
02:12:28,560 --> 02:12:32,680
Speaker 10: Well seventeen thousand feet you'd been going, depending on the

2509
02:12:32,680 --> 02:12:35,040
Speaker 10: specific I mean, you're going one hundred and eighty two

2510
02:12:35,120 --> 02:12:37,560
Speaker 10: hundred miles an hours. You're coming down and slowing down.

2511
02:12:37,720 --> 02:12:39,520
Speaker 1: Stick your hat out of a moving car.

2512
02:12:41,760 --> 02:12:45,200
Speaker 10: Yeah, but you know the captain survived. You had frostbite

2513
02:12:45,240 --> 02:12:47,000
Speaker 10: and different things. He didn't remember a lot of things

2514
02:12:47,040 --> 02:12:49,880
Speaker 10: that happened, obviously, But look, this guy was flying six

2515
02:12:49,920 --> 02:12:52,680
Speaker 10: months later. But if you go to just to a

2516
02:12:52,720 --> 02:12:57,640
Speaker 10: Google lemits image surge of BA British Airways fifty three ninety,

2517
02:12:57,720 --> 02:13:02,280
Speaker 10: you will swear that's a there's no way that's a

2518
02:13:02,320 --> 02:13:04,880
Speaker 10: real picture. And every time I talk about it, people

2519
02:13:04,880 --> 02:13:05,760
Speaker 10: look at they're like.

2520
02:13:05,760 --> 02:13:07,040
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh.

2521
02:13:07,360 --> 02:13:10,520
Speaker 10: But yes, fifty three ninety is the most famous cockpit

2522
02:13:10,880 --> 02:13:14,120
Speaker 10: windows story that I've ever encountered in thirty three years

2523
02:13:14,120 --> 02:13:14,520
Speaker 10: of doing this.

2524
02:13:14,640 --> 02:13:16,480
Speaker 1: Yep, it didn't take much for me to find it. Jay,

2525
02:13:16,520 --> 02:13:19,800
Speaker 1: as we were talking, Yeah, A fifty three ninety, All right,

2526
02:13:19,880 --> 02:13:21,880
Speaker 1: let's close up with hub delays as we typically do.

2527
02:13:21,960 --> 02:13:24,400
Speaker 1: Has it looking out there for air travel, Jay Ratliffe.

2528
02:13:24,400 --> 02:13:27,040
Speaker 10: As far as hubs Detroit, maybe late in the day,

2529
02:13:27,080 --> 02:13:29,000
Speaker 10: but Brian, there's just not a lot of income at

2530
02:13:29,040 --> 02:13:30,640
Speaker 10: weather out there that's going to really get in the

2531
02:13:30,640 --> 02:13:33,480
Speaker 10: way of any hubs and as a result, should be

2532
02:13:33,520 --> 02:13:34,840
Speaker 10: a good day to fly. If you're heading out west.

2533
02:13:34,880 --> 02:13:36,920
Speaker 10: We've got weather that might give us some turbulence, but

2534
02:13:37,240 --> 02:13:38,640
Speaker 10: you know, most people are going to keep their seat

2535
02:13:38,640 --> 02:13:41,000
Speaker 10: built on anyways, which is always a good idea even

2536
02:13:41,000 --> 02:13:43,680
Speaker 10: when you're flying. So I think today is going to

2537
02:13:43,680 --> 02:13:44,960
Speaker 10: be one of the better days of the week we've

2538
02:13:44,960 --> 02:13:45,360
Speaker 10: had to fly.

2539
02:13:45,880 --> 02:13:47,800
Speaker 1: Jay Ratliffe, always a real pleasure to have you on

2540
02:13:47,800 --> 02:13:50,400
Speaker 1: the program, Sarah. Look forward to next Thursday and another aviation

2541
02:13:50,560 --> 02:13:52,680
Speaker 1: report morning, and I hope you have a great week

2542
02:13:52,720 --> 02:13:54,200
Speaker 1: and best of health and love to you in your

2543
02:13:54,200 --> 02:13:56,680
Speaker 1: better half, my friend, and to you as well, thank you.

2544
02:13:56,720 --> 02:13:59,720
Speaker 1: Thanks brother eight point fifty four coming to be fifty five.

2545
02:13:59,800 --> 02:14:01,560
Speaker 1: Can get a chance to listen live the return of

2546
02:14:01,600 --> 02:14:03,560
Speaker 1: Congressman Warren David's Davidson this morning.
